Everybody that's going to be attending will get to see the Victor 3 in the field in this latest configuration for the first time. It's all modular, a combination of steel homogeneous armor plate and Yeah, you know Tom I'm gonna ask you again when you put the glasses on it only can take a second just try the glasses They're not expensive sunglasses. Just try it. Well, you know like they're like polarized or something What do you care? They're free. I'm giving them to you. Just put the glasses on We're sitting here relaxing having a cup of coffee. We're in a coffee shop. Everything's cool. Go ahead. Just put the glasses on I don't know mark. I Maybe I don't want to know you know This is pretty freaky stuff you're talking about. Alright, you're my friend and I trust you. I'm gonna put these glasses on. I'm gonna put, can you hand me those glasses? Here, okay. Okay, not a problem. Put them on. I know Tom, in fact, look it, there's one on that woman's shoulder too. It looks like kind of a giant slug with like an octopussy kind of mouth that's stuck. He's crazy, it looks like it's got feet! And the way it's born in, it's kind of scary, isn't it? Well, it looks like a ball worm! Not, not at all. Does anybody else know about- Tom a lot of us do we've all been paying attention for a long time. You'll notice look on the one Well, Tom, Tom, it, it, okay, relax, Tom. Remember, we're all thinking. We all know what's going on. I've been watching this all the while. You and I have been sitting here as they've been coming and going. But, you know, the way to find out how I found out and got the glasses, I went to Live 365 and then I tuned into Liberty Tree Radio. In fact, I found there were other places like PBN.4mg.com. I'm really worried about this. I'm really worried about this. Oh, I know Tom. Tom, look at that one over there. The one tentacle says Neocon and the other tentacle says Liberal and they're wrapped right around that wall. Isn't it? It's hideous, I know, Tom. But after a while you get used to it. I've been wearing these glasses for a long time and you can see everything now. You notice, look at these other people. It's almost like they're in soup. Oh, but Tom, Tom, once you put the glasses on and now that you know, you can never go back to sleep. I know. Okay, Tom. I'll tell you what. When we go home, I want you to get out on the computer, I want you to go to live 365, punch in Liberty Tree Radio, then you can go, or you can go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, or you can go to pbn.4mg.com, but you know what, Tom? Like I said, calm down, start to get focused. Oh, yes, in fact, look at that one over there. Oh, man, that guy looks like death warmed over, doesn't he? His eyes are starting to roll back. If you take the glasses off for a second, Tom, you notice something? He looked perfectly normal. Put the glasses on and keep them on because you never know what's coming up behind you. Let me check... Oh my god! Oh! Oh my god! Doc, there's one! He's trying to get hold of your throat! I got him! It's okay! I got... Oh! Man, this is... I invested the internet! I invested the internet! I invested the internet! Oh, things! Okay, you're safe now, Tom. We gotta get out of here. Let's go! Okay. I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and, speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave in this the land of the free and home of the brave The freedoms we secured for you. We hoped you'd always keep the tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedoms gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave in this the land of the free brave You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun Permits to start a business or to build a place for one On land that you believe you own you pay a yearly rent Although you have no voice in saying how the money spent Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame number you trade it in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm And keep our country deep and dead 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? O sons of the republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great republic in each God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? intelligence report. I'm our corny one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west south, north east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www dot Liberty Tree radio dot four m g dot com. libertytreeradio.org and we are on satellite. They had all the merchant marine out there doing their part along with porting facilities, harborage, anchorage and inland sites and also a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Well, guess what? It's the 30th of November. It's the end. This is the end. Oh, wow, dude, it's the end. It's the end of November. It is the, well, it's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 14th year of open and in your face. Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. 2022, old earth calendar. Y prebu nistu. These are holy yang words. And 2022, battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. And so for everybody out there again, kind of busy week. We got some cold air coming in from the west, straight out of the west. Had a little bit of moisture, a little flex, little flex of snow here and there, but mostly it was a little bit of rain last night. Still no snow cover here on the bottom of the state. Not gonna wish for that, but it's inevitable it's gonna happen. So we're trying to get as much done as we can. Every minute you've got with snow, snow on the ground is time for you to get other things accomplished that are critical to the cause. So get out there, get to work, finish up what you can, and just keep plugging away at it every day, a little bit more in each project and a good portion of another. Amazingly enough, eventually run out of things to do for those projects. So stay focused on that. And the wind's picked up since I came inside. Actually it's been pretty steady. Again, Weapons Wednesday, a couple of things, some really interesting articles. Springfield Armory, Springfield has come out with a new bullpup rifle. It's actually, I think, been out for a little bit, but people are making a lot of comments about it. Several of the different people have done articles on YouTube. And it is an interesting piece but so far, and again I have only seen a little bit of a little bit on the subject, my biggest concern is spare parts. The rifle itself surely looks comfortable. It looks like it works. Everybody that shot it seems to be able to make it work properly. But firing pin extractor ejector, what's the bolt phase? Were they smart? Did they use AR-15 internals? If they did, that would be very intelligent. If not, while it's a neat gun and guns are for buying, not for selling, especially in America, it's still one of those things that if you buy a weapon of that type, it's not that Springfield wants to go out of business, but government is trying to screw us constantly, so you have to plan ahead. If you are gonna go with any of the Unique bullpup designs or standard designs, but unique to the system. The Air 15 is not unique. The AK is not unique. The M1A, not unique. Grand, not unique. Tons of parts everywhere. M1A, lots of parts. But weapons like the Springfield Bullpup are, until I know more about the internals, and there are still some things I'd probably want as spares. I'll bet any internal springs that are specialized to the rifle, that would be my second purchase. My first purchase would be the firing can extract an ejector or whole bolt carrier, bolt group, depending on how the thing is designed. And then after that, all the springs that exist on the weapon I would buy. Why? That's going to be the bastard out. That's going to be the orphan in the parts inventory. Metal parts we can grind, find, and make. But springs are always a toughy and if you can get factory springs, it's always your first best. Doesn't mean you can't pre-produce it. But factory standard is always better with springs. So just a heads up there. Again, if you're looking at any of these kinds of weapons, I also would say that of all the standard weapons, as we pointed out. Step one, firing pin extractor ejector with some multiples if you can because they're cheap right now. They won't be later if they're not available. And then critical small parts, which includes springs for each of the weapons involved. So that should be your priority to keep your weapons running into the next war, into the next generation beyond this one. And to pass it down with it being able to effectively operate. With the Orphan or Unique Rifles, it's an absolute must. You know, I mentioned 5.7 ammunition the other day. But I would also point out that pretty much every five seven weapon out there has its own particular inventory of needed parts. And I would say what I just said a moment ago about the bullpup. I would say also to any of you have your favorite little light rifles or machine and pistol on that are operational. You need spare parts, spare parts and then lots and lots and lots of magazines and then lots and lots of ammo. If you've committed to it, and it is really going to be your primary weapon, and it's an orphan or odd man out, then the only people who are going to keep it running are you. There's not going to be some supply system from outside to take care of that. There are weapons we will capture that will become standard inventory as we procure them. I would point out that in an unconventional, conventional, repair a conventional conflict on American soil, One of the purposes behind having a cooperative infrastructure with regard to militia operations is that we would start to route weapons to minimize logistical issues. And so a lot of unique firearms, you keep a kind of a codification of what seems to be dominant. And as you acquire them from the corpses of your enemy, looking at your enemy as nothing but a mobile resupply pod waiting to be harvested. Example, if I was fighting Italian, UN, or NATO forces on American soil, they're probably going to be carrying the guppy rifle. If you haven't seen it, it does look different. To me, the first time I looked at the body, it's like, it looks like a guppy, like a big, big male guppy with a barrel where its nose is. Yeah, that's it. That's why I call it the guppy rifle. Well, the rifle is not a bad weapon. It works. Apparently, it's serviceable enough. uh, polymer problem. But, uh, other than that, uh, it's the idea that if I were to acquire them, you know, it's going to be a bastard all the way around for everything. So having one here, one there, one here would not be a good thing. Instead, what you want to do is, you know, barter trade exchange. If you have a unit and they're standardized on a particular weapon, it doesn't mean you can't keep that orphan in the inventory. Nobody's going to force you to stop that. But If we acquire progressively a number of these, we can stash them all in one group, station them and issue them to a group over a particular category of support personnel. And everybody's copacetic. The mags are all going that way. We find more parts, the weapons themselves. We're not planning on building more, but we are gonna try to maintain what we capture. So an intelligent process has to be in place in advance, which is something we've tried to do. Logistics, logistics, logistics, key to victory, guys. One of the issues here with regard to, well, the guppy gun, for instance, is there might be particular needs or actually also particular failings that we finally find out about because we experienced the weapon. This is something that most governments don't talk about. They may build a weapon, but that doesn't mean it works that well. Okay, or it has issues that won't be broadcast or advertised. However, once you acquire them and you start using them, you're gonna find out about the problems that exist with that weapon system. The guppy gun is just one variant. There's a number of different really cool styro rifles that are grossly expensive. They are in the hands of certain militaries or secret police units. Those secret police units would be used by the globalists on American soil. So you're gonna probably run into them. Now again, are they that useful? Well, there's a couple ways to look at them. If you're in the unconventional phase, one of the advantages of, especially in unconventional and para-conventional, is having all of the golf clubs in the golf bag that match what your enemy carries, no matter which of the aggressors you're facing. Let me give you an example. You're in Region 5. That's right here where we are in the Midwest. Polish, Czech, let's see, theory Russian, but the Russians, of course, in the present scenario are not agreeing to, you know, going along with the scam. But remember, we're facing a Tier 1 conflict. where everybody's faking that Russia hates America, America hates Russia, NATO's flapping there yet, but they'll all be trading under the table. It's like the ammunition that came our way from Russia, even though there's an embargo, or equipment going to Russia, machinery that supposedly we were blocking everything, but it turns out that, oh, if all the commerce that was already agreed to by the Jewish mob that's moving all this stuff, all the stuff that they wanna move, they can keep moving. That's an example of tier two activity. as I've talked about many times. So in an unconventional or paraconventional environment where the enemy is fully ignored all of their fake conflicts, realize that the jig is up and they have to go for the gusto, which is what they're looking at right now, then you're gonna see all of these different forces on the ground. Well, what do they carry? Now, there's two ways that you can get around a familiar silhouette. In other words, camouflaging your troops to look like the buffoons on the other side. Needless to say, you want to constantly be observing and surveying uniforms, equipment, and weapons. If they're foreign troops, eventually as you kill more, again this starts out with random, you know, sentry removal, individuals who are transport personnel, support or security personnel who think they're safe, but get bushwhacked at different points and you know, you just take them away, strip the body, bury the body, turn into pig food, who cares. And now you have a complete kit. You have everything you need. to simulate the enemy. Now this means that you can move amongst the enemy to a degree, provided the environment is not too harshly secure. And there will be variations on that. The big thing is that you may want, at the very least, the weapons that the enemy carries, because if you're going into an area and you're trying to smile and wave and do as the natives do, you want to be carrying the weapon for the unit or the type of military formation that's out there. I mentioned the poles. They have a very unique number of weapons that are very much pole oriented and they will be carrying them here in the United States simply because, depending on the scenario, they may either be moved as a unit complete, including their own logistics train, or they obviously could drop in the country, still be carrying their uniform of origin, but maybe not carrying their weapons and issued out whatever we have. Okay, the same would be true with communist Chinese troops brought in in cooperation with the United States to go after the American people. It could go either way. Now, in many cases, as with the Chinese, Chinese ethnic concerns with regard to ethnic pride, national pride, they would carry their own weapons. They would not agree to carry American arms and American soil if they could help it. Do we have everything the Chinese have? No, not really, but we can get close initially. We have a good portion of variants on the equipment. And I don't mean the older AKs that we were brought in years ago. We're talking, remember, the Chinese have had about, what, four generations, five generations of AK variants that they developed since the early 90s or late 80s. Now, while the weapons are good enough for an 80% observation and because most of everybody in a World War III or police state America scenario are going to be carrying everything they can get their hands on, nothing that we have is useless. Everything is useful. As far as modern arms, we have most everything in private possession in one form or another to mimic whatever's coming at us. This means that infiltration and peaceful exfiltration is possible. Why is this peaceful infiltration and exfiltration critical? Intelligence collection is best served when nobody knows you were ever there. Contrary to spy movies or crime movies where some idiot stick leaves a little nomen, you know, a little moniker of some kind or a note or does something, you don't do that. The best intelligence collection is the type that is never detected, never even acknowledged. Not acknowledged by you, and not acknowledged if they cannot discover it by the other side. They cannot evaluate the threat. Now this includes, again, peaceful exfiltration from an area. Smile, wave, walk, drive, fly. Depends on the scenario and situation. But the bottom line is you need to look the part. Now this is another thing about getting into detail. I highly recommend that you have in a what is we call a detailing kit, a small amount of tin foil, preferably heaviest gauge you can find. What? Yes, a small roll, actually a medium or small roll of tin foil. Exacto knives, flat razor blades, one-sided razor blades, scraped type, you know, cutter type. In addition to that, yellow duct tape, Yellow electrical tape. White duct tape. White electrical tape. What would I need that for? Oh, you'll probably figure it out. But with a little bit of observation and especially photo reconnaissance, you can look as close to the other side as needed with a minimal amount of effort and short of close scrutiny of the whole formation. And remember, you might have enough to outfit the frontal elements of a formation where point of contact might be made. You can be 80 to 90% correct with the rest of the operation provided you take advantage of the fatigue of the moment or the again, hospitality of the moment. In other words, friendly formation, just in travel, forward elements speak the language, have the proper uniform, The equipment, rank, everything is correct. Of course it is. You took it off an enemy corpse. The other elements that are in passing need only be sufficient to create the general illusion of the uniform and equipment. If you want to do FAT or FIB, the bladders are probably rearranged. Then with the electrical tape or the duct tape and the razor blades and a few other items, It looks just like whatever is standing out there, two miles down the road that's pointed towards the siege of somebody's house. And the reserves are here, the backup is here. It's all of your guys, not their guys. You may also want to move through an area. And there are basic rules about infiltration, open infiltration and exfiltration in a situation like that that also need to be remembered. Number one, Do not pass through a checkpoint just after a rotation of the guards. They will be alert, they'll be functional. If you wait approximately 11 to 16 minutes into the guard mount after there's been other activity, a mental state of routine typically is established. This is why you want to pay attention when there is a guard change. or a rotation of personnel in an observation post and a vertical control point. You're watching the enemy's electronic data collection site where they have a camera post where you can, you know where they're located. You don't destroy it, take advantage of it. You can always wipe out a position of that type. It draws attention though and they may harden the location if you let the enemy become They don't even have the weapons nearby. Let me give you an example. I pointed this out several times. How many times have you looked at some of the images from Afghanistan? Who the hell thought this up? You've got a CP or LP. It's more than an LP, OP. It's actually got to be a field, maybe a station CP of some kind. Overhead cover with standard cement, multiple layers of sandbags, etc. Steel beam, vertical supports for the roof, open air all the way around. And outside the position where the sandbags are and where all of the combat table, radio and everything is, their weapons are in racks outside the fighting position. Who the hell thought that went up? You know how stupid that is? Where's the first place that I'd lob a 40 millimeter grenade? Would it be into the building or would it be to the exposed rifle rack outside? And if you've got somebody who's a decent grenadier at intermediate and short range, they can pretty well put that 40 millimeter round right wherever they want it within about a square foot. So you've got all of your personal arms, your combat arms, outside and 10, 15 feet away from the entrance to your defensive position. Does that make any sense? Now, do I want my enemy to change that bad habit? No, I don't think so. Now, there's another consideration. Maybe I need more weapons. Instead, I lobbed the first 40 millimeter round right there inside the entrance to that little area, you know, from a horizontal position, you know, not too far away. And then I keep saturation fire on the exit, which is there was only one to get out of this area that they'd set up, which was heavily, it was well fortified. And there's a classic position with about three, four feet worth of sandbags all the way around the hip high or a little more than hip high wall cover, probably a little more than hip high, maybe halfway to your armpit. But all the weapons were outside that very well fortified position. On the one hand, I can't get shot right away in theory, but on the other hand, I can't do any harm to anybody coming at me because my weapons are all far and away from my area of activity. Now, if I was trying to pick up more weapons for the troops, then needless to say, I'll focus on the organics that can't get to their guns. If I want to make sure that you just can't resist us at all, I'd be aiming for the rifle and weapons rack which had 203s in it, M16A2s, M4s, look like there were a couple AKs, so probably there were either some locals or some special warfare people there. But the rack had close to 20 stations in it, and most of them had a weapon in them. They were just wooden rifle racks, vertical racks, you know, like you see on the wall. only, and not metal, wood. So somebody in the local had built those for somebody who obviously didn't believe they were fighting a war. That's the only way to look at it. But do you want them to change that bad habit? You do not. So don't get too excited and get too intense. Somebody who actually knows what they're doing might be given command. For the longest period of time, let the enemy roll with what they're rolling with, you know, once you evaluate the situation. And then, as you choose to cherry pick all of what you need, it can be done within a series of lightning coordinated actions that extract the material from the enemy. Because remember, your enemy is nothing but a mobile resupply pod waiting to be harvested. How well you do and what you do varies depending upon, again, your expertise and motivation. Motivation being more critical than anything. Hunger does help, helps you focus too. I need more food, I'd be more careful about getting food. When bullets and shrapnel go through containers, it just makes things messy. So then you have to bunk bunk them. You crazy grump bunk bunk. Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour. It is Weapons Wednesday. What do we do at the bottom of the hour on Weapons Wednesday? I'd be willing to bet I have a rifle. It's my right. There is no... This is my right. What is mine? I'm useless. Before God... Oh the rifle, oh the rifle, oh the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle You may ride a good late speed You may know a stern a master You forward march with speed But you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader John Stark Glad you make up little noise And always hit the mark Oh the rifle, oh the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle From the inside shot was there that's being done for the Oh the rifle song for everybody out there. It is weapons Wednesday gotta remind you real quick. We are just a little past bottom of the hour and we have the end of the year billing drawing coming up on Friday the second for everybody again. That's only a few days away now. It's Wednesday. So if you would like to donate, you still can right up until even Friday because we'll be doing this at eight o'clock in the evening. But every year we pay in advance for a whole year with some of our bills. What does this do? It saves us a tremendous amount of money. So we don't have to ask people for as much as donations to get the job done. And we continue to stay on the air. To do this, we have a couple of end of the year drawing extravaganzas, one after another, after another, after another, I guess more than a couple of you. And what we do is you donate a dollar and for every dollar that you donate, one, five, 10, 20, then you get one, five, 10 or 20 names, your name in a hat. And we mix it all up and we pull them out in the drawing and we send a gift to the people whose name we draw. It's because it's fun. Most all of you would donate and you in fact, I didn't even just said go on I don't need to be the drawing Would donate without the drawing thing the drawing thing is fun for us for me I just enjoy it because it's a way to say thank you and in the process say it's a throw the dart You never know who's going to get what? But I've run into some really great stuff and also many of you because of we because we've done this over the years have actually donated stuff through the week or the year. You find out about it, you know, it's, oh, it's the end of the year. Some of you guys send us stuff late even, but it goes right into the drawing boxes. So it's really kind of cool because we never know what we're going to get. And what we're, you know, again, what we find. I will say this, the Chinese are already making it tough on a lot of stuff. They don't want I don't think they really they don't there's not so much even I think that they don't want it here They don't want it here, but I think what's happening because there's more discussion about something I've told you about before logistics logistics logistics The Chinese are needing that needing it for themselves They're not sending it to us the companies that are already geared up to do a combat gear They're making stuff. I am sure for other countries like Russia right now Why not? Russia has 5 million men that they can mobilize, 25 million total with all reserves and militia. People could be that would be put into conscription, which that's how their system works. They don't have a draft, they have a conscription. We have a conscription, we call it a draft. When we implement it, it's just conscription, they just lie their ass off. They came up with a fake formula and in reality, if you're the right age, your ass, you're all going, okay? Your asses are all grass and the lawnmower's going through it and it's a big lie. The only ones that are excluded are ring knocking, spit swapping, yamical wearers, and they're always so far to the rear, they can't hear any gunfire or even the glow in the distance. But as it is, we've gotten some pretty good stuff. Hopefully you guys like what we've sent. We have sent quite a few things out with the last two drawings and more to come. So what you do is you can go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. That's www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you do get there, go to the donate key. When you go to the donate key, donate whatever amount you want to. But also in the notes, there's a notation section for that transaction. Please include a mailing address because if we pull your name, I gotta be able to send it to you. Now the other way you can do this is you can also mail in a donation. And we do have a number of them right here right now that I've got the little slip sitting here waiting, ready to go, play the clipboard. And you can, first of all, grab a pen and write down PDN, Patriot Broadcasting Network, PBN, PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, that's PBN, PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. Don't use the other mailing addresses, by the way. Those are for... Standard Operations and Logistics. This is for supporting the network. So, PBN, PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PBN, PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And you can donate cash, which are FRNs. You can donate by check or money order. If you do check or money order, please make it out to Nancy. Last name K-O-E-R-N-K-E, Nancy. K-O-E-R-N-K-E. And also, just as with the computer donation, take a slip of paper and print your name and address. That's gonna go on a little clipboard here. And when we pull names, then that address that you sent is what we're going to use to send you a gift if your name is pulled. So it's kind of to have some fun. So it'll be 8 o'clock. It will be Friday. It'll be later half of the program when we do this, as we always do. And then we're going to probably have one a little sooner. We aren't going to be that far out because we've only got Four other weeks after this one. There's only four weeks left of the year 2022 and then we'll be into communist year 15 occupation 2023 so um, you know how it works as it is Again, I would say the only thing I can't get that's different We actually do have some unique stuff though that I haven't had in the drawings before but I couldn't get any of the safety knives And I really do like those. They're a utility item, more rehab, better off-yar. One of the big things that people, even if they do have, probably forget about them. Unfortunately, so it happens when you have an accident, is the tearaway belt cutter is something that is very, very much a thing to remember. A lot of safety belts lock into the closed position with an accident. They won't come loose, but they may, they actually lock and will not disconnect. They don't talk about this enough, but because of that, a belt cutter and or a shark tooth type, you know, sharp serrated, shark serrated type straight blade is very, very handy. So while we don't have, then we might have a few. I got a couple boxes already packed. I couldn't remember. I had a couple of those left and one of you out there may be lucky enough to get them or other knives are very nice. But if you can't, I recommend that's one of those investments if you're under somebody's offering a blade of that type that has the window breaker. It's a skull crusher stud on one end. It has the belt cutter which is built right into the side of the body of the knife. So you don't have to pull anything out. You just take the knife hole out to the grip and hook the safety belt and pull. Now they got this idea from an Air Force solution that they came up with decades ago. Hell, probably goes back to, it has to go back to World War II. But I know I've run into them as old as 1949 as far as the dates on them, but they're the built into your G suit, usually on a pocket on the inner thigh, left or right, depending upon the era, there's a couple of the locations where a second one was mounted onto your rig, your emergency kit rig. But what it is, it's a lanyard mounted, there's a cord, it's small parachute cord, not standard gauge. It is a, looks like a pen, about the diameter of a good ballpoint pen, about the same length, but it has a stainless steel or high carbon steel shepherd hook blade. What's it for? Parachute cords. It's a parachute cutting cord. That's why they put it where it's gotta be within drop, arms, reach, of the pilot of the operator whoever's in the parachute but the idea behind it there's two stations that can be located on the harness. Some of the harnesses I've gotten were from the 50s. It's actually located in the left shoulder strap of the parachute harness. There actually is one there. It depends on what era. Some are orange, some are green, later ones are black. Okay. But they're very well built I have a few of them on some of my spare combat rigs simply because place to get them all the time with the shredded parachute harnesses and or with the damaged Flight suits if a flight suit was turned in they didn't always take all the stuff out of the pockets and amazingly enough a lot of times Everybody seemed to forget or not bother with that parachute cord cutter Well that blade that idea is where they got somebody got the idea for the seat belt cutting blade. Same idea, you know, little different design because it's got to deal with a much larger flat piece of stock. The other one was designed so you could just hook a parachute cord and pull and sever it and then do a bunch of them because needless to say, there's more than one cord attached to your parachute, it might be entangling you. And it was a quick, fast solution. It's not like a flicket blade. Over the years, the Air Force has issued switch blades. They've also issued gravity knives. And they have always, for as long as they had this idea in place, issued the parachute cutter, the cord cutter. But it's not even considered a weapon item. Because it is, like I said, it's like a shepherd's hook, like a fish hook. And on the inside arc of the fish hook, that's where the blade is. And so again, not a bad thing to watch for. I don't think I've seen anybody with any of those in surplus in decades. I don't even know if anybody has any right now. Somebody must, but they specialize probably in aviation, survival equipment, and or collectibles, you know, stuff where they've collected it now because they're all, all that stuff is dated. So you can, there's no doubt when it was made. Just kind of neat too. And again, it's not considered a weapon. but it is a sharp object, not a pointy object, just a sharp object. Anyway, other things real quick. Let's see. I mentioned the 5.7 the last couple of days, and I'm never gonna be negative about that. We always, for years, well, let me give you an example. A project we did way back in the late 70s. We had tons of junk brass I could get in 556, mostly blank brass. And when we hit all that blank brass, first thing you look at it and go, darn, that's awful close to M1 carbine. And it's like, oh yeah, but it's just, nah, they intentionally did that. It's slightly bigger and it can't really, it's too much work to bring it down to 30 carbine. You probably could, if you were willing to use a mega-def, you know, O press, you know, single-stage press. But, and we did, we actually played with it. Some of you still have to shorten the brass because you're going to stretch it when you compress it. But then we started looking at it like we got a lot of busted shoulders and split throats on the cases. What can we do with these things? It was like, why don't we just ratchet back the 556 and the 223 died and let's make a little baby assault cartridge out of what's left. So we did two things. We made basically one of the things we experimented with, which was really the simplest, is to make a 30 caliber straight case but short case not the length of a 30 carbine but rather a 5.56 case slightly tapered at the throat end and two-thirds the length of a carbine round. In other words, longer than a 9 millimeter, shorter than a carbine round. What's neat about that is it actually a pretty good performance. We may have what we did as one of the guys we knew cut down a carbine barrel for us. It was already chopped from Sarco and we made a single shot drop block action and we had a machinist chamber the thing for us. and worked every time. It was a neat idea, but it was a way to get brass that was junk into service, you know, to use it for something else. Now we also at that time did the 7.62x25 Tokarev project, and that's where we found out, hey, that's the one thing it does match. Now the other thing was making a baby assault rifle cartridge. Now logic is we're not going to reinvent the wheel, so what we did is we shortened the case by half, tapered it using the exact same die, wheeled way, way, way, way down. And in the process used the standard 55 grain bullet. What did we come up with? Well, maybe air 15 assault round. Performance of about 100 feet less per second, but we can pretty well match with a shorter round everything that the standard 556 does. And we experimented with a number of different powders to see what it is we can make work best. Of course, back in the 70s and 80s, everything had to be Magnum, Magnum powder, Magnum primer. And it's like, we really don't want to go that way. We want to make it cheap, but we don't want to use dirty old IMR necessarily, improved military rifle, but we did. for experimenting to get the idea off the ground. We didn't do a semi auto, we just did a barrel using a chopped M16 A1 barrel that came from Sarco again. It was one of their freebies almost. I think we paid $2 for the barrel. And then our machinist friend knocked everything down and he made a drop block for us again in a 556 short. Now, everything that I saw performance-wise, we chronographed it. Chronographs were not cheap back then. We only had one. And trust me, we babied that little beast. But in the process, we found that, yeah, this works just fine. I could see this. You'd have to come up with magazines. And at the time, the first thing we thought was, well, hell, if we made it to right length with the bullet attached, probably we could use an M1 carbine magazine. at least for experiments. Now we got that far and then kind of adds us a lot of work and we had other things to do in life and we went on to working on our 50 caliber project instead. Okay, so your little 5'7 is basically the same idea reinvented after decades and it wasn't just us playing with it. A lot of other people that were into wildcat shooting, same people who brought you a lot of the other wildcat tapered or stepped pistol cartridges that basically were like the hybrid daughters of the Tokarev round or the 30 Luger round. There's a bunch of stuff like that was built back in the 50s, 60s and early 70s. And it was in that category. The 5'7 round fits the same niche. It's not a bad idea. I mean, everything, if it works, it's not a bad idea. If it's stupid, it works. It's not stupid. But in this case, needless to say, it fits a niche. to offer a little more energy. Of course, most of them are short barrels, so you're not getting a whole lot in velocity. But improve on that, which by the way, we know that that's not true because originally it was pistols, but the 5.7 is also in what? Well, the PS-90, and that's a bullpup rifle, kind of like I was mentioning earlier about, remember Springfield Armory coming up with their new bullpup, okay? So there are already rifles out there in the 5.7 and they perform quite well. And especially in short to intermediate range, they could do everything necessary that the other rounds that they would be replacing 5.4, 5.0 by 39 or supplementing 5.56, etc. But with a lot less material used, which is especially critical in wartime production, which is something you need to think about. So you five-seven boys, the only thing I can say for all of you operators, you men of the small little puke round, you need to buy all of it. You can. And I know I keep harping on that and it's because again, I like the round. I don't like the price of the weapons. I think they're grossly overpriced. I think some of the stuff is just grossly overpriced for what it is. But it's neat. And again, if you have the wallet and if you have the wherewithal, go for it. Congratulations. It was a good choice on your part. And we're never going to complain about anything that anybody buys, because the more you buy, the happier America will be when we got to shoot the tyrants. Okay? Now, another thing about the 5.7s are magazines, because that is another part of the orphan issue. So if you want to keep mags coming, I've told you this before, it's just like ammo, you want to buy them out. If you can buy more mags and put them on the shelf, there's no such thing as too many mags for a weapon. In fact, boy, if you do have so many mags, you think you have too many mags for that one weapon, it sounds like you need to buy another gun. You need to have a second one, because you need to have a backup to your primary weapon there. And yeah, there's the same gun, just get another one. One for each hand, okay? So, again, the Five-Seven, pretty cool little idea. I don't know if, and maybe the government has already done this, maybe Space Force, if they haven't got a phaser yet. Space Force! You know, Johnny Quest. Anyway, if the Space Force, that Five-Seven would be a Space Force weapon, after all, it's a pistol they were using in Battlestar Galactica, right? That would make sense for them. You know as a basically a sofa fighter slash a armchair soda pop drinkers like drone, you know, you know drone operator or Monitoring the skies for space junk. You're not going to be out there as combat infantry But it would be nice to have a weapon in the future because you would be a high-priority target ergo You would think that the donut of destruction Somebody would arm them so that they could protect themselves Now I know that because they're paranoid leftist, pedo queer freaks that are in government, especially in the pentagram, but the idea of arming our soldiers, oh heaven forbid, peace love dope and wear the red pumps and you know, find your inner woman even though you're supposed to be a combat infantryman or at least a warrior. Probably their idea is not to arm up at all and you kind of like the air force and you know during the Cold War with the missile silos. Yeah, you know, he'll give you a rifle and what a magazine or two magazines 20 round magazines you do know that about you know defending the the position or the rest of the ground crew that issue out a rifle and 220 round magazines and You were supposed to fight off the Russian hordes if they showed up to attack the missile silo Yeah, that didn't inspire motivation and they were a healthy attitude of you know your value should tell you something. So I can see that probably it's the same farcical BS is going on with the farce you know Space Core the same way the space core bla bla bla bla bla So anyway, but the five seven would be cool. Also another place for the five seven would really be great. The MP seven is actually a pretty interesting weapon. Most the other even the PS 90 would be a great onboard aircraft weapon for its size for being very compact, minimal, minimal in the way parts things they kick in hooked up on something and easy to operate one, especially since remember one thing about air crew weapons. or air crew defense weapons is the assumption was always and has been designed into the plan that the individual having to use a personal defense weapon that was an air crewman probably is injured because most individuals jettisoning an aircraft, leaving an aircraft in some form even with an ejector seat, which is pretty painful in and of itself, are injured. making all operation uncomfortable, especially discharge of a firearm because of how the recoil is translated through the body. Sounds weird, but it's a fact. So the 5.7 would be a good choice for that. The MP7 would not be a bad idea. The MP5 was already issued, but with crappy magazines, which got people killed because of the crappy magazines, which I've already explained that story several times about how that happened. Why the crappy magazines were in the hands of American fighting men? Well, because kosher mafia got their way. That's why. And so the troops got screwed, just like the troops are getting screwed right now. One last thing real quick, the discussion about logistics, but this also has to do with As I told you many times, the most dangerous period is peacetime, beginning of a war, and the end of the war, the very end of the war, because desperation, fighting at both ends. And usually they're more than willing to throw your life away and sacrifice you because the purple-haired, pedo-queer turds, the effeminate Jewish mafia that are always back into the rear, they will always screw up the plan, they will always get you killed, and then they will laugh about it while they're at their, you know, the neighbor's bamitzvah. I'm telling you, how many goyim I got killed this week? Oi! It's the scam we've seen before, so. It's interesting some of the things I mentioned before the right like the US Army making the snide comment that they're issuing yoga mats to the Russian troops and it's like really? Well, I've got a bunch of yoga mats here and to be quite honest They're superior to most of the regular sleeping mats that I've seen most armies issue and I have examples of almost everyone ever made To be quite honest, if they went tactical and you know one of the things about tactical is that especially Coyote Brown with us coming out of this BS with 30 years worth of crap in the Middle East, you'll notice that tan and Coyote Brown is out there in plastic chairs. It's out there in everything. Why? Because there's a ton of the pigment. available even in paint. Did you notice how most of the railroad train cars were painted tan, Savannah tan? They weren't going overseas. The reason they were painted tan or they've been painted coyote brown is because there's a whole bunch of that punkajunk paint left over and they got it for a hell of a good price. You know, after every war, it always happens that way or even during the war because it's like, well, everybody's just cranking this color out. Guess what? Oh, we'll even sell it commercially by giving it burnt sienna. You mean Coyote Brown? No, it's burnt sienna. Isn't burnt sienna impressive? Yeah, Coyote Brown does look pretty neutral. It's true. It's cool. So anyway, That's one of the things that I can see that yeah, if they could get them in something other than purple and aqua That would be good But as far as it being bad equipment No, not at all. No better or any worse than anything else that all that France or Belgium or England or the US or anybody else has come up with And we'll probably be doing the same thing real quick because we ain't got the manufacturing to make what we need for the troops that we would be fielding. So be prepared for the same scenario that we saw World War II. They set us up with 30 years worth of NAFTA and get all the tiny stuff and all the little things are built overseas. What few factories we have here are piss poor for keeping up with production. and would be hard pressed to be able to get the material where it's needed, when it's needed, if we go to war. So again, the idea that the Chinese are, it's not so much that just spite or the realization that we would be using it, it's the idea that someone else needs it. And so the Russians are getting hold of it. I'm sure there's other countries, Serbia, etc. There's a lot of countries that, because they did buy into the BS with NATO slash the EU, they now realize how they've been screwed and they're trying to scratch around and move back towards the traditional in-country production. Now, what that means is more non-strategic materials will be used because it's what they're going to have. A lot of the more specialized materials. the 21st century materials actually are 20th century not 21st, but the later more common materials made in plastiques and such would be dropped in favor of wood and fiber and impression or cast materials. In many cases maybe even pot metal. So this is where everybody is scrambling from the logistics side right now knowing full well that they're headed towards war. So something to think about, something to consider with regard to your acquiring of material and equipment. If I see a yoga mat, somebody's getting rid of a bunch of stuff like, oh, I grabbed. I kind of like the aqua. Anyway, it's pretty color. It's not a great tactical color. Plus, I guess I'm on the ocean. Even there, it wouldn't do that good. But it's just the idea that they all work. Remember that if all else fails, anything like that that you acquire will probably go over to our medical support. Gotta remember, we got people gonna be convalescing. We're gonna have to be able to provide bedding, cots, all the fun stuff that's necessary to keep somebody clean and healthy and comfortable. So just keep that in mind. Don't poo-poo the idea of grabbing this stuff. Just remember we'll route it to where it needs to be. Again, the easiest way to do that, make up some boxes or ideally get some of the big 30 or 40 gallon barrels, not the 50s. open top and whatever you find, stick it in there and just fill the barrel solid. That's what I do. Water containers, mats, sleeping bags, backpacks. Every week I get something. I know where to look and the last batch of equipment I told you was all top end American camping supply. It may not be American made. But these are all the top end, 150 for this, 200 for that. Hell, even the tote bags are $100 apiece. And it's all really well built. I will say that. I've been getting a ton of Swiss gear. And it's really nicely built. I especially like their zippers, the way the zipper systems are set up. Again, it's all China Sport, but it's higher in China Sport. OK? That's probably also to a degree what the Russians are picking up. So they probably aren't going to worry about that because again, you're fueling millions of troops. So the important thing is at least get them basically outfitted. This is why the older web gear, some of you are going to be getting ALIS gear, some of you get a combination of ALIS and TA-56. Some of you are beginning East German equipment mixed with American because we can upgrade dramatically that set. It depends on what era and what pod I open up around the state here. That's going to determine how your unit will be outfitted, at least for phase one of the conflict. And everybody else needs to be thinking the same way. If you are going to commit, watch for all of the same nation's equipment in terms of web gear. Right now there's a bunch of Austrian, but also a bunch of Dutch and Belgian odds and ends coming out including eight suspenders that are a copy of the standard Vietnam era eight suspender and they're really nice They've got them over at sportsman's guide. So if you're using a regular TA 56 or TA 90 gear I have a lot of it then and I have a set of my own then That is the place to go for the suspenders. I prefer the H over the Y They just maintain better support to the rear and they don't get tangled as easy Just something to think about. We're at the top, talking about getting tangled. We're tangled into the next hour. We don't want to do that. We're going to take a break here in a minute. For everybody out there, this is www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. It is Weapons Wednesday. We've got one more hour here, and then we've got Craig from Forbidden Knowledge coming up, an hour out. Not yet. So we're going to be hearing the music any moment now. I hope. and in the process of hearing the music, we're gonna take a break. And don't forget, we do have the drawing this Friday. That will be the second at eight o'clock. It'll be the later part of the eight o'clock hour. If you'd like to donate, you can go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get to the site, go to the donate key. When you use the donate key, make sure you leave a notation with your mailing address. That way we can send you the really cool stuff you deserve if your name is pulled from the hat We want to give you what I'm saying to give to you. I'll give you something Anyway, again, you should be hearing the music any moment now Sometimes it you know what the technology is never as useful as you think guys, so we're working on it. I'll see next we're still good. I'm still hooked up the I don't want to get into two... I can't get into a subject because I know I'm going to get cut off here is what's going to happen. I mean, I should be cut off here because it's break time. And a one and a two and a bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. That's where it's welcome. Anyway. Mostly. Mostly. Yeah. And the bubble machine continues. For everybody again also a reminder AIMsurplus.com, AIMsurplus.com, AIMsurplus.com and Norma Ammo. They've got Norma Ammo. They've got a source now. I think what's going to happen because of the stuff they just added. I think that AIM has as good a contact with Norma or whatever Norma supplier they have found and TPU. I don't think they're the same and I would suspect that if Norma did anything, They might be subcontracting through the Turks, but Norma is located at the opposite end of Europe, northern end of Europe. And for years they have produced match grade or at least very high quality ammunition in all categories, especially in rifle. But right now, 40 caliber pistol, 45 pistol, 9 millimeter, even some 380 Norma. I don't know how long it's going to last, but it's brass case, boxer primed, and again, they have both ball and I believe one or two of the loads are soft point. Not that that's critical. I'm just happy with the idea of ball ammunition works every time I pull the trigger. That's what I stick with. Doesn't mean you can't do something else. I'm not telling you don't only do ball ammo. If you have a weapon and you know what that weapon can eat, use it. But my attitude is I'm probably gonna have some of you friends show up. So ball ammunition, make sure that when somebody says throw me a box of ammo, I'm out. I know that the ammunition I give you will work in any weapon you have. And it'll work in any weapon we run into. That's why ball is your first choice. Just that simple. Another thing on that note, if you run into ammunition and you try a box and it doesn't work that well for you, you know, in other words, yeah, the first round when I feed it off the magazine, the first round feeds, but man, the gun jams otherwise. Well, what do I do with that ammo? Don't take it out to the range in frustration. Take the round, one round, load it to the top of the magazine once you've loaded ball into everything else, and that's your top off round. That's the round you load into the weapon when you're in combat carrying, because it will function, it'll shoot, it'll blow, it'll go down range, it'll eject a case, and then it'll load up the standard ball ammo and run it like a singer sewing machine. So that round, the ammunition won't be wasted, you just need to remember to use it as a topper. In other words, load the round, drop the mag, load another round in there that's ball, reinsert the magazine, and now it's boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, Anyway, we should be hearing the music. We are at the top, past the top now. And I know I'm hooked. And so, well, let's do this. We are already into the next hour, and I am not gonna... I'm gonna just do it this way. Uh, it is 608. Sup? I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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. 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 bright. As Iowoki 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'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, attended both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, northwest, southwest, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. Once again, old merchant brain there. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the United States. Today's date, well, it's the 30th of November. It's the end of November. 30 days, half September, April, June, end of November. That's right. Anyway, it is Wednesday. Weapons Wednesday. 14th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Octopation of America with a K. And only good one's a dead one. and it is the year 2022, old earth calendar, 2022 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Let the dance continue. At the end of the month, we are at the end. We're not the end of the week. And again, on the second, we'll have the drawing that will be Friday during eight o'clock hour, later half of the eight o'clock hour. You have plenty of time to donate. This is for the end of the year billing. We take care of this every year, just so everybody knows. It is Weapons Wednesday and as I was pointing out about ammunition with Norma, I'd shoot Norma all day. But it used to be it was a lot more expensive. Norma has gotten into production bulk marketing with standard ammo or at least to be a good quality ammunition and AIM surplus has it right now. So Norma, yeah, I'd shoot it. The big thing here is the question is because a lot of stuff is being subcontracted by other manufacturers and Turkey has already been gearing up for war by getting into ordinance and weapons export production on a larger scale and they've been allowed to bring this stuff into the US. Is it gonna last forever if it's Turkish? No, because they're at the crossroads of the conflict. They can play one side against the other. In fact, they can even play three ways. I ain't talking China, I'm talking the other countries in the Middle East. They can fiddle part with NATO in America, or they can deal with the Russians. Okay, but the three-way split and don't think that they're all together. We anyway should be unless they go to tier three globalist agenda them Yes, they'll try to murder all America and a heartbeat and all of them would cooperate Turkey Russia China. They'd all be together When the time comes okay, we already know that That's again third tier globalist agenda made open and in your face Norma and PPU, comparable quality. PPU does have greater variety for the moment, but Norma used to be the company to go to for unique rifle calibers. We've mentioned Steyr's, the Kynok and Norma were the companies that still were producing much of the turn of the century 1800 era early smokeless powder cartridges. So the 11 millimeter early swede, 11 millimeter Mauser, 8 millimeter short, not Kurtz, 8 millimeter short carbine for some of the export Swiss guns. Let's see, again, 8 millimeter, 8x50 for the Steyr Straight Pole, the short carbine model. Actually, same gun. They just, when they started out, it was in a shorter chambering, and eventually it went to the 8x, was it 8x56R? But it started out in 8x50, and there's also an 8x55 somewhere in the middle there, somewhere that was made for, you know, a short time. So anyway, Norma used to make all of that. And Kynoc was the other one to go to, and Kynoc was also very good quality in all original mill spec. But it was all custom brand new ammunition that was being built. So now if you run into it, those are collector's rounds. But on the other hand, if you had a case of it, well, I'd be shooting it when I have to. Time comes, go to war, whatever you got, use it. You know, put a bullet in the enemy, extract the material off of the mobile resupply pod that you're harvesting that's now dead, and get on with using their equipment and pass that rifle that you used to get the stuff off of the mobile resupply pod. Give the rifle to the next guy in line. Congratulations, you upgrade, and he gets to go hunt for his equipment and go harvest his own mobile resupply pod, you know, the enemy. So, a couple other things. I'm going to say this again. How many of you, well first of all, how many of you have watched any of the video out of China like the bastard welding the door shut in the apartment complexes in the buildings? There's three different videos and it's three different incidents. There's at least three different ones I've seen because the one there at the back of the building and they're welding the door shut, why could I come up? I'd probably bust the guy's knee. or smack him on the shoulder to bust his arm up so he couldn't do anything. I'd take that torch and shove it up his bung hole and turn it on. I'd make sure, it'd have to be on it, otherwise I can't get it started. But I'd make sure that that torch got it somewhere into the balls of that bastard. And then I just bust him everywhere that wouldn't kill him. Seriously. The wretched machine, for lack of operatives, needs to grind to a halt. In China, the Chinese people need to get to killing the secret police. Just all there is to it. America, we have the same problem. There's no different all these stinking, ring knocking, yamical wearing, globalists, all these turds that are in all these institutions that are all screwing their respective countries. Well, they need to be gone. And over in China, the best thing the Chinese people could do, you got nothing to lose. They want to starve you to death or push you to concentration camp, kill the bastards. Kill them all. You know what? Secret police only have to die once and they don't come back to bother you. So the more you kill, the better off you are. And you know what? There's more people out there. And if everyone just grabbed one and just stuck them with a screwdriver and just kept stabbing because you got nothing to lose, they're going to drag you off and execute you anyway, kill you by inches, maybe just cut you open and take a kidney because they're going to market your body parts. So why not just, you know, do a man. Yeah, if you kill one, you might be able to kill another, then another, then another. And if everybody starts to join in, in fact, you know what? Only enough to kill each one of the secret policemen need to join up. Not even need to be the whole of the population. You do realize that if everybody just has a couple of family members in each family that finally said, well, you have to hell to try to kill us all, I got nothing to lose. Everything to gain. Kill the bastards. the wretched machine for lack of operatives. How, how, who do you give orders to when they're all dead? What secret policeman do you give orders to when they're all dead? When the 50 that they're gonna use to dance around in your district to pull pay pay police data, all 50 are dead. Well, those will bring more in from Blumby, then they die too. But first they're gonna get- They're gonna start running away and hiding because they know- Yeah! Yeah, eventually it's like then they realize that the calls they send out, well, every place else, everyone else has realized. Again, how would you get the message out? Guys, Chinese whispers. Have you ever played the game Chinese whispers in schools anybody remember? Oh, you can't use that term Yeah, I'm still gonna use it cuz it's classic. It's exactly what's happening in China You say how do the people in China know what's going on? They've been cut off from the internet Hey Bob, yeah over the other side of the fence. Yeah. Can you hear me? Yeah, they just killed a bunch of people over in that hotel They just killed a bunch of people over there. They let a bunch of people burn to death over there. See that fire over there? Yeah, a bunch of people just burned to death because they bolted them into their rooms. That's how people know. Really? Okay, well, I'm gonna be talking to my brother here. I'm gonna let him know. I gotta let you go. I gotta let my brother know what's going on. Okay. Who lets his sister, who lets the neighbor girl know, who lets the other person over the other fence know? Oh, but there's a spy. It doesn't make any difference. 50 other people. If every one person talks to two, three, four other people in four, three, four, five different directions, Chinese whispers people. It goes everywhere. And the more obscene like this kind of action, the faster it travels. You don't need electronics for this, or at least not sophisticated electronics. Go ahead, call or jump in there. Yeah, it's text mix. Hey, I wanted to go back to your talking about the flintlock, using the flintlock and stuff. There was an interesting YouTube video I saw on a YouTube channel called Garand Thumb. And he does reviews of guns and stuff like that. He had a flintlock rifle. that they were testing on 50 caliber that they tested on a the dummy, the gel, but it has the skeletal parts and the skull and everything in it has the bones in it. And they were using, they used it at close range and they used it, I think the farthest they went to 75. And the wound channels that thing, that 50 caliber balm makes were pretty devastating at 75. But what was really interesting was that the close range shots that they shot the lead when it hit the flesh flattened out. It just panned out like a disc and then it would proceed to keep penetrating. So if anybody wants to see what a rifled muzzleloader will do, check out Grand Thumb, that's his latest video. That's all I got. Well, you know the interesting thing about that is is you've got pretty much with all modern metallurgy any weapon of any design for you know back through to Matchlock you got matchlock flip lock cap and ball and or black putter cartridge and The difference guys is that while they were relatively reliable back in the day. I mean everybody carried them You now have the advantage of the metallurgy and the quality of product with modern metals combined with what was a proven, reliable design. So it's not like it's not gonna work and if you actually had them, I've always said this, if we go to war, you load everything up. Oh, even the muzzle loaders, I said, you know what, most people out there, they're using muzzle loaders with discarding Sabo rounds. You can buy, I just saw it here the other day, 16 discarding Sabo cups with 16, 50 caliber projectiles. Well, the cup is for a 50 cal, so it's a little less, obviously. But you're talking about rifle stability like any modern weapon. Take your choice of propellant. Caps are more than reliable now. And you're looking at purely, or you're gonna get a one shot, but like you said, you get hit with a 50 caliber or a 65 or a 70 caliber, well, 50, 55, or a 65 or 70 caliber, you're looking at a monster hole going in and out. And it doesn't make any difference if it gets out. In fact, remember this slingshot channel, he's a fun guy to watch. His early videos, you've got to watch his early videos because he started out doing basically the wishbone type conventional slingshots and he was doing them and showing how well they could perform with all the modern materials that were used. And one of the things that he did is he used about a 40 caliber or 45 caliber ball bearing to shoot into a ballistic gel target and he went right through it. He goes, oh, that's not what I want. So he went up to a 60 caliber ball bearing and he fired at the target and instead it went two thirds of the way into the ballistic gel and stopped. And he goes, that's what I want. Why? Well guys, you got all that thud power. of a larger projectile and all the energy is being delivered to the target. Not only that, that big beast projectile is inside the target, making for more damage and discomfiture because you're going to have to get it out, okay? So if you're trying to do a major amount of van damage and you're punching, you wanna punch your enemy, I've argued before in any of these old single shot martini henries Any of the like the old trapdoor spring fields, you know, here's a good example of 45 70 50 70 They're single shot But if I'm smart and I'm by the way if I'm gorilla war fighting You don't fire multiple times from one location if you're gonna bushwhack someone You're satisfied with basically looking at it like a rifle rocket attack. Most rocket attacks are not designed to have probably hit anything significant. It's harassment fire. However, if you know what you're doing with a rifle attack, you don't care where you hit them. You don't care if you hit them in the crotch, the ankle, the shoulder, the side of the head. It doesn't make any difference. You hit them. And the idea is you fire and forget. Well, it's pretty impressive when you've got a 400 grain or a 300 grain projectile. No, it's not going as fast, but it's going heavy. And it's no longer round. In fact, it might not even be in one piece anymore. It's right. It's difficult to get out. Yep, and again, it delivered the energy against the target. The felt energy, the kinetic energy delivery is phenomenal. Doesn't mean it's gonna move to like a freight train sideways 60 feet, but what it will do is stop you dead cold. And again, think about this, like you just, you know, text messages brought up, you've got a single shot weapon and you have to be, you have to be sneaky Pete. Whoever the poor bastard is, you're gonna take a weapon from that's in the government uniform. You're not gonna give him a chance. The idea is there's no fairness in any of this. The other side, what does the other side do? They wait till two or three in the morning, they attack you. They wanna confiscate your guns. They wanna murder your family. They wanna drag you off to the Gulag in Washington, DC. They come on Friday. You know, right about work time, you're not thinking about it, or they come in at three in the morning or four in the morning or just before dawn, whatever part of the year it is, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it'll surprise you. Well, in reverse order, if you're hunting them, you don't give them any mercy whatsoever, and you give them no advance notice, and when you're done, you just upgrade it from whatever it is you were using to whatever they have. And here's where I'll bring up the 3 quarter inch black pipe 12 gauges. Very simple to make. You only need to use them one time. You got yourself a real weapon after that. And then you hand that one on somebody else. You can say, go boy, do likewise. Yeah, boom. And again, all of these weapons, the amount of energy delivered is phenomenal. Like you're talking about the Filipino strike type shotgun, which is two pieces of water pipe. and a cap with a nail, you know, hole in the middle of the cap, you know, with a screw and a couple of nuts. And you basically, once you thread into place with that cap, you grind down and make a firing pin out of the bolt. And then you, what you do is you screw that back into place when the time comes after you've loaded a shell. into the other pipe, you screw everything together, well only one part needs to be screwed together and the other pipe rolls inside the pipe and when you slam it back, pop, boom, it goes. That's also another way to make an indirect fire rifle grenade launcher. You use the same idea, but you use it as a grenade launcher, building making up your own rifle grenades. So a number of different ways to do that. But again, the advantage is lightweight, easy to carry, fast to move. You get real good at adjustment fire and you never stay in one place after you fired one round. Remember, the other guys are tracking you and looking for ways to drop something on you based upon where your wet round came from. That's with an indirect fire weapon. So the other thing here again is we're also talking soft lead ball, you know, lead cast bullet, but it doesn't have to be lead cast. It can be, you know, tire weights, you know, we talk about that. It could take more heat, but not too much more. And if it's zinc or if it's pot metal, here's the thing that pot metal and zinc does that lead doesn't do. Zinc fracture, it is relatively soft. But at a given point, it breaks along casting failures to destruction. So what happens is, instead of this nice, like rounded or flattened projectile, you have these chunks of zinc or chunks of pot metal about the size of broken safety glass. much harder, okay, and just as wicked, just as sharp, just as able to, you know, when that squarish piece of frangible metal times however many pieces it breaks up into, when they separate, those are individual wound channels going through the tissue and going through the organs. So it's just as mean, if not meaner in many ways, and it depends on what it hits. But you could use the wheel weights, the only difference would be is there'll be less impact distortion. But if it does, if there is sufficient energy that it will disrupt the containment of the material, then it won't just flatten, it will fracture like safety glass. It will break into modules, some bigger, mostly all about basically the same size. The zinc response pretty much consistently that way. Pot metal wheel weights, that'll vary because it can make any combination to create the uniform weight whether they're using tin, whether they're not using tin, that's too damn expensive. But whatever lesser metal steel, you know, steel quality metal of low, low, low grade like slug metal. That'll work fine. If it can be melted and cast, all of that would work. And would not be detrimental to your weapon. Wouldn't hurt your weapon. But it would be awfully wicked at the other end. And if it all just holds together as one big button ball and doesn't distort too much, who cares? 50 caliber or 55 or take your pick. What are you shooting? So again, that could be your, well, Mr. Dolby gun. Now remember the black powder, even with pyrotechnics, whatever. And by the way, even with many of the new foreign modern powders, you get a powder signature. We've mentioned this many times and I want to warn you again, if you've been shooting a lot of wolf, You'll notice that Russian wolf and the Ukrainian counterpart when it was coming in years ago now Was not Miss smokeless as it should be In fact, I've got on video. I've pointed out many times when we were doing a tactical relay shoot with about 50 60 guys And most were shooting Wolf 30 carbine. They were firing Wolf 7.62 by 39. They were firing 5.45 by 39 made by Wolf. And guys, it was towards the end of the day and it was starting to look like a muzzle-loading contest. There was smoke lingering in the air. Okay, now there was a lot of fire going on. And in a relatively, well, only because all the shooters were all operating in the same area. But because of that as they were walking through and moving through their fire points The amount of residue that was building up especially in the in the afternoon light where you had a lateral cut with the Sun It was easily identified where the shots were being made and the fact that of course there was obviously fire going on in that area because it was Again, it was actually accumulating a smoke pattern. So again especially with the Russian, they're certainly using what is supposed to be non-corrosive primers, in theory. I would always clean every weapon no matter what, in this day and age. It is not an if, it's a when. Some countries may go back to mercuric primers. That sounds weird, but in a war, people aren't going to worry about the eco-freaks. So certain types of primer material and also different types of pyrotechnic materials are going to be reintroduced. because nobody's going to care. And the one thing I do like is mercuric primers, although yes, you do have oxidation issues. Reliability with mercuric primers in all extreme weather conditions is very, very high. That's why they went to them. many years ago because the construction of ammunition, the conditions the ammunition that was built in were variable because the powders may have to be stored for a period of time and were not necessarily stored perfectly because of the manufacturing processes of the day. Then using a more reliable primer system that was hotter and consistent. insured powder detonation, powder burn. That's why they did that. There's a method to madness. There's no accident to it, you know, the processes that are developed. So it's inevitable that, you know, no matter how hard you try, either A, don't forget this, don't assume that, well, the guy's handed me a bunch of ammo. This is why you clean your weapons. Depending on what you're shooting, you could be receiving anything. If you've got 8mm Mauser, most of what's 8mm out there, not all, but most is going to be surplus and it's going to be corrosive. If it's 7.62 by 51 NATO, don't assume that just because you've got a box full of 7.62 by 51 NATO, that it's non-corrosive. Because up until 55 through 57, there's a number of countries that were building 7.62 by 51 NATO into 60.61 that was corrosive. Hell, even the 1965. So, again, the idea was that they had the inventory available. They didn't need to change out anything other than the case shape, obviously in the bullet diameter, going from 8 millimeter to 760 by 51 NATO. Spain, for instance, did a wide range of consumption projects to use up the old inventories of powders. and primers when they transitioned from the seven millimeter Mauser to the 7.62x51 NATO route. Because of that, they also marketed to third parties like Portugal and to Italy. And a lot of stuff showed up there in their military standard equipment or export ammunition that they built for yet other people, which eventually ended up in our hands one way or another in surplus. So, assume the worst thing, you won't be disappointed, but that's also for the sake of staying in the fight, keeping your weapons functional, and not being surprised by anything. Also, a few things, real quick here. We're not doing it right now, but I have been very happy with for quite some time, and I use it on many of the tools. There's a series of under-coatings that are done. PLS does a number of surface coatings. For storage, there's one type, but the same storage grease, or I should say surface active grease, could also be used to treat weapons in the field. A lot of you guys have, for instance, nagots that are former service weapons. They have a lot of surface wear. Two things you can do. A, paint them. Which is not a bad idea anyway. B is use a better grade of lubricant that is going to stay with the weapon, but not cross contaminate the ammunition. Why? Well, look at outside. We're now into, you know, major wet, cold weather and it's going to shift to freezing weather. You're moving in and out of buildings. You're moving around. Moisture builds up. You know where it builds up? It builds up where you can't see it. If you've got one of those mighty fine moistened nagants and you know how many bolt-action rifles I've collected that were surplus and man they don't look too bad on the outside because everybody always wipes the gun down but nobody hardly ever takes and pops the rings carefully and takes the action out of the receiver and so what happens is gravity sucks. How do people store guns? They either store them horizontally, trigger down, barrel up. Well, the barrel is circular. And when moisture beads up on the barrel, what happens when that moisture is liquid? It rolls to the gravity point. Where's the gravity point? At the 6 o'clock mark on the barrel inside the wooden stock. And so what happens is moisture builds up on the downside. Nobody does anything about it. And they don't even lubricate it hardly. If you're lucky, some lubricant dribbles around randomly from whatever other maintenance is done, but never enough. You can actually have a pockmarked barrel. You have upper parts and outer surface areas of the gun look really decent. Maybe with no finish left, but decent, but you pull it out of the stock and everywhere where the stock rested, you've got rust, you've got oxidation issues. Now, it doesn't mean the weapon will fail you, but gee, the better you take care of the weapon, the less likely we're going to have a problem. So if you have a manually operated rifle, you need to pull it out of its stocks once in a while. And you need to lubricate everything on the downside. Now that includes model 70s, model 700s, any of your semi-automatic pump rifles. I don't care what it is. You need to take it down and also take buttstock carefully, get the right screwdrivers, get the right tool for your weapon. And disconnect the stock and clean all of those areas where the wood makes contact with the metal. and grease those parts. Don't just oil those parts. The grease, you know, make sure that you take your, you know, take your finger and get it right up into every crook, Kravis, get in there all around that metal. When you put the weapon back together, there is a lubricant that's going to stay with the weapon. Those are areas where you don't have working parts. You're not going to have to worry about any of that, making contact with the rest of your equipment. But what it will do is prevent oxidation, build up or development in places that are out of sight, out of mind. And this is especially critical. I can show you a dozen. I've got, you know, Carcados. Guys, Carcados used to be a couple dollars apiece. I could buy, I did buy buckets of, okay, for $100 to get you 13, 16, 18 rifles. In that, maybe half of them would be Carcados, for $100. And in fact, even up until not too long ago by comparison to other centuries, I guess, you were able to buy a NOAA FFL model, a 1865, 1875, pre-98, manually operated weapons of many different types. And in many cases, again, they look great on the outside. Generally, they weren't too bad, but every once in a while, you'd take them out of their stocks and go, oh my God, someone should have done this 80 years ago, maybe only 60 years ago. But they still solely be $6 or $11. 1995 was the big number for the longest time. Thai mousers, Siamese mousers were 1995 in 8 millimeter Siamese, which is a totally bastard cartridge. The rifles were all brand new. They looked like they had just come out of the factory old inventory, but Couldn't find around for anywhere a lot of people rechambered them is what they did rechambered or rebarreled And there are a lot of creative projects most of those disappeared in the woodwork But the weapons were never in bad shape But they were cheap and then there were many that ammunition was certainly available for but they were cheap Turkish mousers were the same way model 93 Turkish mousers $11 to $16 apiece condition fair or actually good to very good not fair fair were only about six dollars apiece and no FFL required okay and in either seven millimeter or seven six five or whatever odd Mauser caliber so you had to search for ammo now today I wouldn't worry about too much about PPU ammo and I've told you about that before and AIM surplus has PPU which means you'll probably find 765 Argentine seven millimeter Mauser Certainly 8 millimeter Bowser and then other chambering 6.5 Swede 6.5 Jap etc etc etc So check them out then if you get if you've got one of those grab of guns keep it running But also do proper maintenance I've mentioned this many times do proper maintenance treat that weapon. Well, it'll keep you alive Not all your weapons are your first line, but you may have to grab all of them to keep you alive first time around You don't know what's gonna happen And if you have eventually as things start to escalate people will be pre deploying weapons in more places. That means that every weapon you have probably should be will will be pressed into service and should be. You shouldn't have to run halfway across the house to get to something to defend your life. You need to have it where you can grab it, put a boat in someone's ass. Take either pick these make two steps and cave their head in with a buttstock and crush it like a pumpkin. or step back around the corner and move to your next better weapon or whatever else you got. See how that works? If it's within arms reach or reasonable two-step reach, you can get rid of the problem in front of you. And I don't care what it is you use, doesn't have to be a big butt, you know, AR-15 or anything like that. 20 gauge pump shotgun or a double barrel or even a single barrel do a lot of damage when it needs to and get you out of a problem so you can get on to the next weapons you can get rid of the rest of Ching Li and all the rest of the black uniform knuckle draggers that you're facing. Just keep that in mind. So another thing, go ahead color. Yeah, thanks Mexican. I had a question for you. Sarco right now during the Black Friday sale had a complete AR build except for the receiver. It was in the M4 configuration, 16 inch barrel and it had the carbon length gas system with the front side base and everything. I think they wanted, if I remember, they wanted around 350 for it. My question was, is what is the quality of the parts, especially the barrel? I was wondering about getting it and... the barrel was, you know, the accuracy in the barrel is everything, you know, so that's what I was thinking about. What did you think? Well, I have to look at it because, again, Sarako has been really good for opening up their wine casks. They have stuff in tunnels all over the countryside. That's why they always, and they have good connections otherwise, but they have saved a lot of stuff with each of the big waves, and they've bought blocks the size of buildings in materials. So it probably, as far as parts go, for 350, I'm sure the barrel, like you said, would be the question, you could call up and find out what they're using, but there's nobody out there making a bad barrel. I haven't run anything that's making me worry about it being more like I'm firing a shotgun with a scatter blast. The big thing here again is, is it the configuration you'd prefer? Now I'd like it with a lighter barrel. You know, I've mentioned this many times recently here, that if I, what I recommend most everybody build is the absolute lightest AR15 they can. And the Kar-15 M4 knockoff is probably your best choice. You're going to save weight on the short stroke, you know, the short gas system. I prefer it, but I guarantee they're not using their probably like you said, it says M4 type. So they're probably using an M4 barrel, which would be a little heavier. I'd love to see them make the original Colt CAR 15 16 inch barrel civilian gun that was made years ago. Because I'd like to see a gun at seven pounds. That's where I'd like to see it. I think we need a million of them. I mean, we need as many of them as we can. One thing I've noticed about all of the ARs is because of all the gobbledygook, you're carrying as much weight with an AR-15 as you were with an M14, which always comes back to, well, then why would I carry the AR-15 when I get more FUD power with the 308? I get more reach and distance. And the weapon is, you know, reliable. So, I mean, not that the Air 15 isn't. I've told you a million times, guys. I'll carry an Air 15. But Sarco is, Sarco I trust. Sarco has been very good over the years for being able to, you know, build a serviceable kit if it's a 45. Of course, they did tons of grands. They did a million, million M16A1s. And so the M4 is a logical gun for them to probably have in good quantity in parts right now. It'll probably be quite a hodgepodge. I'd be willing to bet that you're gonna see a combination of military, leftover, and whatever else they have. Because Sarco had tons of the Kar-15 parts. I know that. I made a trip to there years ago, years and years and years ago. I didn't go to the warehouse. I was invited to go to someplace else. And what they had just laying in barrels, bins, and boxes, you know, goes off into the darkness, if you know what I mean. So, as far as I'm concerned, unless there's something strange that we don't know about, you know, I'll tell you what, somebody might say, what's an Anderson barrel? Well, you know what Anderson's been around longer most people don't realize this Anderson's been around longer guys than most everybody else in the industry now that's left Other than maybe Bush master, but present Bush master is not the original Bush master company So Anderson was one of the first companies to start making air 15 parts when nobody else was making air 15 parts everybody realize that There were two no-name brand companies and there was Anderson. That's who you could buy from decades ago. And the two no-name brand companies, basically one, was out of Hylia, Florida, and I personally believe that what that was was universal. Universal, same ones that made the universal carbine. And then also Fed Ord, which made a number of parts for everything, including the AR-15. So I wouldn't have a problem with circle. The big thing is, you know, probably like you said, they won't be matching for color. It'll definitely be obvious. It's a parts gun. Oh yeah. What I like about it is it's all basic, you know, it's the round hand guards and it has the, it's a flat top, but it comes with the detachable carry handle with the, the, the iron sights in it. Yeah. That's what I like about it. You know, you get the, you get both. Well, again, that's where it sounds like that's the kind of package I'd be looking for right now. Seriously. And again, if you wanted to shave a little more weight off, you could drop that carry handle, put a flip side or an optic on the rear, a light one, and you're still, like I said, you should be hovering. Well, with the M4 barrel, it'll probably hovering around 7.5 to 7.75 pounds. I'd be willing to bet. But still, that depends. Go ahead. My goal is I've bought a I bought at one of the old ACOG reflex sights. It's the one that came out in the 90s. It's just the fiber optic up in the front and it's got like a the red dot, no batteries or nothing in it. It's pretty lightweight and it'll go right on that flat top. And it's a police trading because ACOG does not make that reflex sight anymore. And I got it for a pretty good price for 150 on that reflex sight. Well, that'd be perfect on that gun. If you could shave everything off that you could off the weapon, like I said before, it's one of those guns. It'd be like an aliens only in state where he went from the, they took the magazines away from the rifles. And then Hicks reaches over his shoulder and goes, I keep this around for close encounters. And one black guy goes, yeah, I hear that. And it's a reachover gun. If you can get it less than five pounds or about five pounds like with a polymer receiver, it'd be the perfect weapon to have with a scabbard over your shoulder as a backup. That sounds weird, but it's not. It's a realistic formula. The big thing is, again, the other thing is we really have to start thinking about the idea that we're gonna need even greater quantity. because of the number of people that we have coming into the system. Now not everybody is going to be fighting, but everybody is going to need an effective weapon. And right now the gladiest of the day, as I've said, is the AR-15. So if you're looking for a solution for $350 for the kits, those are words. Sarco, e-sarcoinc.com or e-sarco, I think it was, what is it? Sarcoinc. They may have taken the E off. Sarco does have a lot of other items. Don't forget, check out their web gear and especially their surplus gear because they have canteen covers for a really good price over there. Better than anybody else in the country right now. And they're not all sewn stitched back up. They're just field grade, very good, you know, standard. But you can get a hundred or I think I think it's a hundred or a 300 count increment Go look to see what they have now. They also have several other camouflage web gear items that they do themselves Sarco has also built a lot of its own parts and does other millinery work they have their own little sweatshop and What's interesting is for the longest time when they were building the kits they were building their own frames several companies used to do that when they were doing 1911s. So understand that Sarco is good for, they have the wherewithal and the working knowledge to do what they need, to get what they need, to make what they need. So that's another thing to take into consideration with Sarco. But if you are going to do that, buy magazines. If you're going to do the AR-15, buy magazines and buy lots of them. You are there's no such thing with what's coming as having too many magazines I was thinking about this the other day. How would I deal with the unit coming in? I wouldn't just give everybody five more mags You were gonna have to be disciplined and rationed what we're handing out so that everybody gets some. Okay, this is another thing to remember. So you're gonna have to have an MCO inspector who checks the men for, okay, how many you think you need? What do you need? Okay, first of all, we're just gonna do your basic combat load. I know you're not gonna get extras, but if you're missing mags in a pocket, we'll fill it. That's how you need to be remembering, you know, how you're going to issue stuff out because the last guy, you don't want him sucking vapors and ending up with nothing. And you don't want to have to waste time jiggling stuff around so he does get something because you gave it to somebody else. Instead, you have to have a common sense process for issuing material. Now trying to be stingy, you're trying to make sure that everybody can dip from the well. And this is a real problem with supply always. There's a lot of different good examples of some of the things that can happen or problems that can occur in a battlefield situation, battlefield procurement situation where you're starting, like I said, it's the beginning of a conflict or you're expanding. You're adding more people to the unit or fielding people and you've had to resupply or re-equip. You guys have to have a plan in advance. especially where we're looking at quantity and volume. Okay. Like I said, I do 100 or 120 slash, you know, 400, 600, instead of 510 systems or 1040s. I can do 1040. In other words, squad and platoon. But I can go much bigger. I can issue out much more than that. So in advance, you know, if I were, for instance, if a unit was coming in, one of the things to remember about experienced troops is keep them fed, keep them armed, and outfit them to keep them alive, keep them up and up above the curve. So when a unit comes in, it is part of the R&R, we're gonna rest and recuperation, to reissue clothing, you know, issue new clothing, issue new gear. And again, you don't throw away what they're taking off. You're just gonna reprocess it, cycle it, and clean it up, and it's going to someone. But nothing is gonna be chucked out. Nothing's gonna be thrown or burned or destroyed or nothing like that. We can't afford to. NAFTA and GATT is going to teach you to be disciplined. Think about it that way. Anyway, we're at the top. We should have Craig from Forbidden Knowledge coming up next, right behind us. For everybody out there and it's time, we should be moving out. Bless you. It was only about one tenth of there. Okay, if you as long as you hear me okay, we'll continue on then. This is Craig. Forbidden Knowledge Live, if you're listening, on August the 10th of 2016 for Live, Wednesday evening, August the 10th. If the trouble even though my connection is bad on your end, Ed, you'll have to call me back or something, but because I could not hear hardly any. Okay, great. I could hear you. The music was extremely terrible. Okay. Well, here we are on a Wednesday evening live. I've been trying to get these done more often than not, because I was missing a lot of shows in the past. Trying to get these done here. I guess I'll start off by saying the website is forbiddenknowledge.info. Just having done a show in Michigan for the first time in a long time and this weekend no show. As far as I'm aware of, I'm not doing any show this weekend so I'm taking a little break although I got plenty to do. I've been replenishing stock, been doing things to better the business the best I can. I guess I do have some. If you've ever been to my table at these shows, you'll see that I have a lot of things that aren't on the website. Of course, the website I'm talking about now, forbidknowledge.info is only about basically about the TV show. It's not so much about selling products. If you're wondering about the type of products I sell, you go to theprepperstop.com. Theprepperstop.com. Stop as in a stop sign. Theprepperstop.com. But you also find that if you come to my tables, you'll find out a lot of things that I don't have on theprepperstop.com. I've got things like mylar bags, vacuum sealers, I didn't bring a freeze dryer with me to the shows, the prepper shows that is, not the other types of shows. Things like you've probably seen me have wind up radios, wind up flashlights, various things that I have not put on the website. And coming up, I have some new items that will be coming too. One of the things I'm working on here this week is procuring more items that might be interested in the prepper type people. Solar panels, various type of storage battery banks, windup radios. That's shortwave radio, shortwave radios for 12 bucks in person, not on the website. Lots of different things that are offered for sale. You'll have to check out not only the prepperstop.com, but check out my tables wherever I may be. And to find out wherever I might be, you would go to forbidknowledge.info. The next show that I have coming up that I have listed there, whether or not I do that show, I'm still in my positive. Another show in Michigan, Gibraltar Trade Show in Mount Clements, Michigan. And then we're off to Lawrenceville, Georgia. for a prepper show on the end of August in Lawrenceville, Georgia, which is in a suburb of Atlanta. You're in that area, you know what I'm talking about. And then, of course, the famous DragonCon the first week of September. This week in a September, DragonCon, the world's largest science fiction show. Also in Atlanta, downtown Atlanta in this case. And anyway, if you go for Biddendall's, I didn't tell you you can find all the places where I'll be. For those of you who did not take advantage of the mountain house sale that I've been talking about for much of this year, this is basically your last chance for the most part on the pouches especially. Well, before I get into this, let me back up a little bit. I don't think I talked about this last week, and it was big news, at least in my business, and Mountain House itself. Mountain House, you don't know, is freeze-dried food. The oldest freeze-dried food maker in the country. They have 45 years under the brand name and 50 years of experience with a parent company. So Mountain House has been around for at least 45 to 50 years. And they made an announcement last week stating, so if you have Mounthouse food at all, it was made since 1986. This is retroactive to 1986. They are now stating, the Mounthouse company is claiming that their products will now be rated at a 30 here shelf life. That includes cans and pouches, both. So if you have any Mounthouse food that's quite old and you're wondering if it's still any good, check the date. If it's made in 1986 or later, it's still good. Yep, 30 years retroactively to 1986. Now this was just an administrative decision based on their years of experience. There wasn't any changes made to the pouches or the food. It was just based on their years of experience. They decided to unilaterally declare administratively that all their pouches and cans are now 30 years. Now before the cans were stated at 25 years and their pouches were stated as 12 years in the last year. But actually before that, if you go back in time a little over a year, you're going to find that they changed that from seven years. So their pouches, if you have some old pouches, they probably have a seven year date on them. Well, they increased them to 12 years and now they increased them to 30. So I presume this is largely due to some competition from companies such as Wyze and other companies that I offer Wyze as well. Mounthouse generally people try both products. People ask me all the time, which is a better product. And since I saw both of them, I'm not going to necessarily downplay either one of them. However, I'm just being honest with you about this. If you've tried both of them, anybody that's tried both Mountain House and WISE, side by side, something rather equivalent, if you can find something very equivalent, it's not that easy because frankly, most of WISE's stuff does not have real meat in it. It has something called TVT. That stands for texturized vegetable protein. That's basically a soy pretending to be a meat. So for, in other words, their products that would be like a beef stroganoff is actually called savory stroganoff. It's not called beef stroganoff because there's no beef in it. Savory stroganoff would be the equivalent of beef stroganoff at Mountain House. And if you taste both side by side, most people will pick Mountain House being the better brand. Just being honest with you about that, most people... That's what most people that taste both of them side by side. Most people think Mountain House is better because I get that question a lot and I have a YouTube video about that. If you go to YouTube, you go to forbidTV and I talk about this and many other topics on YouTube. So yes, people pick Mountain House and Mountain House is more expensive. There's no two ways about it and it has real meat in it and that might be part of it. Mound House has a huge advertising campaign. Sometimes people come looking for, I'm sorry, Wise has a huge advertising campaign where Mound House does not have nearly as big of an advertising campaign. So sometimes people come to the table specifically looking for Wise because they heard it about on whatever, Glenn Beck Show or whoever sells it these days, it was just about everybody selling it, it seems online. Anybody has some kind of a TV or radio connection that seems like they're selling Wise. Well, I saw them too, but Mound House is... Most people think mama's a better product, but frankly, you know what, if all your neighbors are eating bugs and grass, you're not going to be complaining about their wives. They have a little bit of TVP in it. I don't think anybody's going to be bitching about some TVP if you're eating, or nobody else is eating, you know what I'm saying? So don't put off any food storage program necessarily, any type of food storage, because you're going to be very glad and very fortunate to have food at all. When maybe others do not or else they have to kiss the boots to feed them in order to get a meal So anyway, so the mount house announcement is 30 years on pouches and cans retroactive to 1986 except for the ice cream Okay, the ice cream still has a two-year rated shelf life including stuff from this last week on In other words, because of the higher fat content, it's harder to store higher fat in a freeze-dried product. So they're still maintaining a two-year shelf life on their ice creams. And typically, I do sell a lot of ice cream. In fact, ice cream sandwich, Neapolitan ice cream. They also have one called New York Cheesecake Bites. All those have a two-year shelf life still. And frankly, when I sell those, I typically figure they're not even going to leave the building. So, I guess it doesn't matter as much, but ice cream is harder to store long-term because of the higher fat content. We're going to try to, and I'm doing some research on this, been looking into a, I guess I could do a whole show about this, and I guess I'm not ready to yet, but basically give you a heads up on this. And anybody else who has ideas, I mean, welcome to the ideas. I have this freeze dryer that I take around the shows. I've used it once, just to try it out. I have not used it much other than just to try it out. I tried it out on about 15 different things and I gave it some difficult tasks, things I knew it would fail on just to see how it would react because of what I've read about in the past. I don't have a way of really doing this, using this device because I'm on the road all the time basically. I don't have a home and I don't have a place to plug in, that kind of thing. And I don't have a kitchen in order to prepare the food, get it ready for freeze drying, etc., etc. It's very difficult for me to use it at all. applying to take a week off when the paw paws are in season. Now, paw paw, for those of you who don't know, you look it up, a lot of people may have heard about it, don't have any idea what it is. It's an actual, it's a fruit. It's native to North America. It's, in fact, the Indians. It was a staple fruit of the Indians for quite a long time. And we just sort of... It grows all the way from all the way north of Michigan, all the way south. It was like North Carolina, all the way to the east coast, Atlantic Ocean, all the way towards probably just a little past the Mississippi River. It grows in a big area of the eastern United States, native. It's a very large fruit. It's in fact the largest native fruit to, I don't want to say North America, I want to say the United States. It's the largest native fruit to the United States. And it's kind of people describe it as a, it's very large, it's like a cyclosize of them. Like a big mango or like a big papaya. And in fact that's sometimes people compare the taste to that. They compare the taste to either a, well some say banana, some say mango, some say cantaloupe. and some say papaya. So it's kind of a mix of all those, I guess, if you will. It's got large black seeds, almost like a watermelon seed. And it's very soft. It's like a custard type of soft. The fruit, when it's ripe, when it's ready, when it's ready, when you pick it, you have hours to use it. You can't really pick it green and ship it across the country. And that's why commercially you don't ever see it. You can't pick a pawpaw, put it in a case with a bunch of other pawpaws and ship it across the country and expect it to be any good. Basically the only way you could do that would be to freeze them to ship them distances like that. It's very soft for one. You don't even see them in the farmer's markets. You might get lucky to find them in the farmer market, but they're very hard to find there. They have to be eaten fairly quickly. Certainly within days. They almost immediately begin to ferment when you pick them. It's very nutritious. I can't remember the vitamin C and vitamin A or something. I can't remember what's a very nutritious fruit. Anyway, look it up. It's spelled different ways, but you can sell it P-A-W, space P-A-W or P-A-W, P-A-W. I'll just spell it P-A-U. W, I believe. There's way different ways of spelling it. It's too soft to ship and it ripens too quickly, so that's why you're not going to see commercialization. And not only that, if you ever have seen a paw-paw, basically when they're ready to eat, on the tree they're a dark green, but when you pick them, and when they're ready to eat, basically they're almost, they turn black, splotchy black. They look ugly as hell. And so... You probably will never see them commercially for the most part because they're too soft They look ugly and they ripen very quickly where you need even quickly but for freeze drying That those do not present a problem So there and there's other fruits and vegetables that may be this similar nature that I'm not even aware of and not this where I'm looking for some suggestions here in fact frankly Depending where I am in the country and depending on what my schedule is his possibility if you have these good ideas you want to try using the freeze dryer and For somebody who's exotic fruits or vegetables or think other food items that might be extremely unusual Contact me might be willing to come to your area as I'm going through if I'm going anywhere near your area might be able to Sidetrack a little bit and go through your area and spend a day at your house Let you try out the machine With some exotic fruits or vegetables see how it turns out it takes about a whole day of the actual cycle of the machine But anyway contact me because it may have to be some preparation of all that of course I have to do some adjustments my schedule not promising this I'm just suggesting that maybe come up with different ways because just like the pawpaw Most you probably never tasted a pawpaw. You've never even heard of it and yet it's very it's a it's an extremely Interesting fruit and nutritious and history behind it in this country if you're listening in any of the several states We used to name several eastern states. About half the country, it was staple food for the Indians. But we've lost complete track of it because it's not very easily commercialized. So they could be picked. And in the case of paw paws, what will have to be done, in my case, I'm working with a farm that has some trees. I'm going to get probably several bushels of it. We're going to try. There's experiment because I've never seen anybody do this and they've never heard of anybody doing this either But freeze-drying Papa and personally any fruit or vegetable could be for freeze-dried and then it'll have a In case of mountain health they're saying 30 years But anyway, I have a decades-long shelf life without refrigeration on the shelf to get you any time And most fruits you can just eat pretty much just right out of the package You don't even need to rehydrate them necessarily. You just put them right in your mouth and eat them Some very common ones out there are peaches, strawberries apples I think some other ones that are very popular, bananas, as freeze-dried. Shouts able without any refrigeration for long periods of time. Some fruits, let's say, let's take an example, losing my cramp out here. Banana, for instance, you freeze-dried banana, you've had a banana chip in the grocery store. Banana chip basically isn't dried, it's not freeze-dried. It's dried, very crunchy. They usually have to sugar coat them, they can taste very good and they don't even really taste like bananas a whole lot, right? Well, if you freeze dry a banana, cut it with a banana and freeze dry it, put it in the freeze dryer and get it done and it's basically, it's about one fourth the weight of that dried banana, that banana chip. If you put it in water, it pays for it and put it in your mouth, it turns soft like you just cut a banana and put it in your mouth, essentially. So it doesn't it's not crunchy at all unless you put your mouth me you start chewing it It's not crunchy at all if you let be soaking water for just a few seconds, then it's uh It turns off the second fresh cut banana because that's what it is. It's a fresh cut banana just freeze-dried So and not only that for the freeze-dried process maintains about 97 to 98 percent of its nutritional value versus canning which only maintains about 60 percent of its nutritional value. And dried only maintains about 40% of its nutritional value. And canning and dried don't have nearly as long of a shelf life either, does it? You talk about dried, usually you're only talking six months to a year. Canning is certainly years, two years to 10 years, depending on what it is you're storing. But freeze dried, decades and decades. So if you have an idea, run it by me. Again, not making any promises. You would have to do a lot of preparation before the freeze-dry ride for in other words for the paw paws what will have to be done Because they ripen in a short period time and have to be processed very quickly basically they have to be cut open The insides taken out this case custard like it's hard to slice these things and appeal and it's licensed more like spooning it out Depending on how hard it is time and then they'd be frozen immediately frozen, normal freezing like your normal chest freezer, it's not your freeze dryer, just frozen, and they can be freeze dried later. That's the way probably whatever you may have an idea for in freeze drying you'd have to do. Now if there was, if the crop came in a little at a time you could just put them directly in the freeze dryer and do them that way. But when you have a big crop, a whole lot. And the freeze dryer only has the capacity to freeze dry about, the freeze dryer I have anyway, only has the capacity to freeze dry about two number 10 cans worth. In other words, these large cans you see like the Mountain House for instance comes in number 10 cans. Only by the time you get all the food out of there, it only fills up two number 10 cans. That's about as much as it will freeze dry one time. So in the case of harvesting some fruit or vegetable, typically you're going to have a whole lot more than that on time. So you're going to have to freeze them, prepare them and freeze them, and then freeze dry them later. It's not a difficult thing to do. It doesn't hamper the ability to freeze dryer to do its job. It's just a way to move it along because the freeze dryer is going to be the weak link in the process unless you've got another type of heat freeze dryer that has a huge chamber where you can do lots at one time. That's the way you're going to have to do it in a more home type based situation. By the way, if you're a cotater or a restaurant owner, this is an ideal way to keep you from wasting food. If you're in those businesses, you know all about food you throw away, you could freeze dry it, have it decades later. Of course, sell it. Just freeze dry it. and then people could store it for decades before they need to use it. Pre-shoring is very interesting and it's an interesting process and for things like pot-pot, it might be about the only avenue out there. It may be the same proof or again, I'm looking for ideas. Various fruits and vegetables that you don't ever see in the grocery store and or the farmers markets for one reason or another because they look ugly or they don't store or they don't ship. or whatever the reason, freeze drying may be a process to consider. So contact me for middenknowledge.info if you have some ideas. Again, I can't promise it. It has to be working in my schedule and depending where I'm in the country. And I don't have my freeze dryer with me all the time, not the gun shows, for instance. only preparedness expos is where I generally bring it. However, I just obtained a new, well, new is a relative term, I can't afford new vans, but I bought a different van and this one is bigger and with space I've been needing badly, I've been needing more space badly because essentially when I'm on the road I sleep in my van with all the product in the van. That's the way I have to do it. Without a social security number, it's not really possible for me to get hotel and motel rooms like most of you can because of one of the first things any, certainly any chain places. Other places might be allowed, but frankly, I don't make enough money to be able to do it anyway, even if I could afford it. Or I'm sorry, even if I could do it because of the lack of a social security number. Yeah, think about it folks. Without a social security number, you can't rent a car. Because without a Social Security number, for instance, you can't have a driver's license. That's for one right there. That'll kill the car rental. Besides the fact that you're going to need to fill out the forms, they're going to ask for a credit card. See, that's part of the problem with the motel rooms or hotel rooms. They need a credit card. Whether you pay with cash or not, they'll still need a credit card. All the chain places will. You need a credit card in order to rent that room for the night. So because of the fact that on a Social Security number, they don't have any credit cards, can't rent a room for the night even if I could afford it and I basically what I do I cannot afford it anyway. If you remember mostly you would be very shocked to see what my bottom line is, what I do at these shows. It's expensive to be on the road and expensive to be renting a space for a weekend at these shows trying to sell your goods and services. Also, when I started talking about basically before I talked about the 30-year shelf life of Mountain House, basically if you're interested in this, the big sale I got going on that I've had for almost the beginning of this year at 3500 couches of Mountain House for sale at half price. That's almost over with now. Frankly, this show that I'm doing, the next show I'm doing, go to forbidden, I'll just add info. The next show I'm doing, that'll pretty much be the end of the pouches. There might be a couple flavors left, odds and ends, but I may have about six or seven flavors left out of the 20-some that I had to start. And I'm down to about six or seven, and frankly, I worked it down, so I only have about one case of each of those, most of those, so they're gonna run out very quickly. So, and with his 30 year pouches now, remember pouches 30 years retroactively in 1986, 30 year shelf life half price unprecedented, no where in the country are you ever going to see that kind of price again. And that's going to end this next show that I'm doing, which may or may not be one in Michigan. So that's about it. I only have about 15 cases left and like about 100 pouches, less than 100 pouches. So that's it. Number 10 cans, I sold a lot of those at the 45% level, 45% off. Sold a lot of those at 600 cans of those. Sold all those out a couple months ago, actually. Although I am offering a sale still on other Mountain House cans right now, 25 to 30% off, depending on how much you buy. Now you're not going to see this special online. In fact, I can't put those prices online. I would lose my contract with Mountain House. This is only presented to you in person. So you're going to have to go to Forbid Knowledge.info and find out where I am to take advantage of these sales. 25 to 30% off on Mount House Cans. And the only reason I'm selling those, I'm taking a hit on those. Big, big hit because frankly they've changed their label style again, the design of their labels. And when that happens, it makes the things on the table look pretty goofy with two very different. can label styles and pouch labels. They change the labels of the pouches and labels of the cans. And so now I'm just trying to sell off all my old style labels. That's the only reason I'm selling those cheaper. They're only one year old, two years old, whatever these cans, but they're offered between 25 and 30% off. As long as those old labels last, now I have about 100 cans or less left of that, those will be on sale to only at the shows, only in person at those prices. I have the modern labels too, the brand new labels, but those are for now are full price. You see, I can only run a sale four times a year with prior written permission from Mound House and then I can't even exceed 25% anyway. That's by our contract. So I'm not going to be able to put that online. It's only for the listeners of this radio show who come in person or people who come into the gun shows or preparedness expos or whatever type of show you might find yet. Hi, this is Craig. You're listening for Big Knowledge. We're going to talk about some other topics here in Los Angeles. I haven't heard anybody chime in yet. A very hot day. Probably people often about doing things. Wouldn't be surprised if people don't call in. Been watching the price of gold and silver the last couple months ever since the Brexit. Seems like that was kind of the impetus to get this price of silver and gold to rise. It grows pretty quickly from around $15 to around $20 an ounce for silver. And it's about $100 rise on gold as well. And it seems to have stayed there. It's fluctuating up and down in that same narrow range, around $20. So it was really surprising to see that happen. Just a quick jump in the state up there. That's surprising because typically you watch gold and silver and it goes all over the place. But no, in the last couple years it's been hovering in the neighborhood of $15, plus or minus a dollar, pretty much all it's been doing for the last couple of years, for silver we're talking about here. And gold, the range was also very narrow in the mid 1200s. hovering within about 30 to 40 bucks within for the last two years and then all of a sudden it took a jump. And now silver is around 20 bucks an ounce and has been for the last month or so fairly stable up and down a little bit. Looks like gold and silver may be there to stay for a while. because the investors who are worried about the Brexit seem to still be worried as much as because, frankly, there's no change and probably won't be any change for a long time with what's going on with the Brexit. This is going to take a long time. So in the meantime, things are business as normal, but people are apparently, the investors are apparently a little jittery and people have flocked a little bit to gold and silver apparently. And the demand apparently is still up there. watching the election, of course, Trump continues with his foot and mouth syndrome. He basically every time he, every time he veers off his teleprompter, he puts his foot in his mouth and he's done it again with guns. I'm sure you've all heard this, probably been talking about on this network. But the thing about it is everybody on this network is listening to my voice right now, probably understood exactly what he was talking about. And that's part of the part, guys, probably been away for politically, for political purpose. You can't just put out there what's on your mind or what we might actually be thinking. But that's actually what he does a lot of times, but he veers off the teleprompter. That's what he does. He speaks his mind of something from the gut, from the heart, that politicians are not supposed to say. Like, if you don't know what I'm talking about, you probably do. There's been a big news the last couple days. He basically said, I don't have a direct quote in front of me. Well, I might have a direct quote in front of me, actually. Right, look a little bit here. Well, unfortunately, they're not in order. Or maybe they are. I mean, let me check here. I haven't gone down to the bottom of this list. I have a list of the amazing things that Donald Trump has said. I also have some of the main things. The only thing Clinton has said, well, even though Trump has foot and mouth, Clinton said some pretty stupid things too. And I'm going to go over some of those here. Basically, it was about guns. And he basically said, and I'm not direct quoting him here, but just that it was. If Clinton gets in office, she's going to appoint enough, offset the balance enough for the Supreme Court appointees to offset the balance of guns to be in favor of the gun grabbers, or in his words, to confiscate guns, or to abolish the Second Amendment, I think is the words he used. It's a little over dramatic, so I'm sizing it. But anyway, if Bill Murray gets in office, she could appoint some judges that would offset the ballots, because we're basically in a split right now. But if you think about it, the Supreme Court's justices' jobs, if they're doing a job, is not to abolish any such thing, to only render an opinion. And so they can't abolish the Second Amendment, nor can Clinton. Takes a lot more than that. Anyway, and then he followed up by saying that maybe those Second Amendment people can do something about that. And although he's kind of backpedaled on that statement in recent hours, because it changes all the time, he basically said he might have been referring to people that what they could do politically or what they could do... through the NRA or some other organization. But he was not talking about it as the press immediately jumped on it and tried to spin it out of control until he was suggesting that people start taking up arms against the government and up arms and or arms up against Clinton. And supposedly even the Secret Service were taking notice of what he said. But he had to back pat a little bit on that. But I think we all understood exactly what he meant. And that's why the Second Amendment is there, after all. The press can just say that once or twice. That's why the Second Amendment is there. If our government got out of control, we can do something about it. That's what it's there for. Of course, I'm not running for president. I can say that directly. And that's what all of us think and say amongst our friends, but we can't say that. And Trump can't say it either without taking a pounding by the press. But so far, all the pounding he's been taking by the press for all these weird statements he's made, he's off the cuff statements because he's got foot and mouth disease. He has been putting his foot in his mouth and the press attacks it no matter which way it wants to be spun. They'll spin it whichever way they want to spin it to get him to look like he's saying an outrageous statement. But frankly, some of them aren't all that outrageous. I got a list of them here. Some of them. I'm going to go over some of them. But yeah, the press was a little honest about it once in a while and thought to tell exactly what the Second Amendment was about. Then that would have been an extremely outrageous quote actually. People who understand about the Second Amendment understood what he meant first time around. We didn't have to read anything into it. We just sat back and said, he's right. But we're not running for president. Of course, Trump started this whole thing out and this is one. Trump's by quote. An extremely credible source has called my office and told me that Barack Obama's birth certificate is a fraud. That was years ago. We've been through that back in 2012. Here's one. Let me skip over this one here. Ariana, here's a quote. Ariana Huffington is attractive both inside and out. I fully understand why her former husband left her for a man. He made a good decision. That's not something politicians say. Another quote. You know, he really doesn't matter. I'm sorry. You know, it really doesn't matter what the media write. As long as you're you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass. Yep, that's something he said. Here's the wall one quote. I will build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than me. Believe me. I'll build them very inexpensively. I build that will build a great, great wall on our southern border and it will make Mexico pay. I'll make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words and the quote. I don't think anybody believes that Mexico is actually going to do that. And whether or not he will build a wall or not, that's going to be questionable too, because there's already a wall in a lot of places. Doesn't make any difference unless you change immigration policy. The wall's probably not going to do anything. But anyway, next quote. Oh, when Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're bringing rapists. And some, I assume, are good people. And the quote. So they're trying to claim he's disparaging all Mexicans. And then I'll end quote. Our great African-American president hasn't exactly a positive impact on the thugs who are so happily, openly destroying Baltimore." End of quote. Here's another quote. This is a fun one. If I were running the view, I'd fire Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, look at her right in that fat, ugly face of hers. I'd say, Rosie, you're fired. End of quote. That's something you want to say when you're running for president, even though some of you might be thinking, yes. You don't say that when you're president. You see, you've got foot in mouth. Quote, all the women on the apprentice flirted with me, consciously or unconsciously. That's to be expected. End of quote. Another quote from Donald Trump. One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don't go into government. End of quote. Why is that outrageous? It's outrageous because a politician, and I'll say that because, of course, They're part of the problem as well. Trump's trying to point him to present himself as being not a regular politician, which obviously isn't because he's got foot in mouth syndrome, for instance. And most people would actually agree with that, they know a little bit about what's going on in the world. I'll quote that one again. One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace. Good people don't go into government, end of quote. And I think a lot of American people would actually agree with that. Excellent. The beauty of me is that I'm very rich. That's his quote. And that might be true. But Billory is very rich too, but I'm sure he's not going to say that. Excellent. Well, it's freezing and snowing in New York. We need global warming. Next quote. I said, if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her. Let me quote. OK. Next quote. Quote, my fingers are long and beautiful as it has been well-documented are various other parts of my body. And the quote. Very well documented. Okay. Where's that documentation? Next one. I have never seen a thin person drinking Diet Coke. And there's some proof of that thing because that's partly because of the aspartame that mimics sugar and you put your body. Starts craving sugar after drinking those drinks. We talked about that before. Next one. I think the only difference between me and the other candidates is that I'm more honest and my women are more beautiful. Okay. We've been in our possession, Donald. We can't belong to you. See here, he's called somebody disgusting. There's another one. The point is you can never be too greedy. And the quote, see, here's a quote, my Twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make enemies, make my enemies tell the truth. That is, they could be a reactionary like you have been and go on Twitter without putting a lot of thought. into what you're actually tweeting. Again, foot-in-mouth syndrome. Next quote, my IQ is one of the highest and you all know it. Please don't feel stupid or insecure is not your fault. End of quote. Don't worry, we won't. Next quote, I have so many friends, so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I'm a traditionalist. And a quote, traditionalist, that would exclude being gay, wouldn't it? Next one. Oh, the other candidates, they went in, they didn't know the air conditioning didn't work, they sweated like dogs. How are they going to beat ISIS? I don't think it's going to happen. Next Donald Trump quote, look at those hands. Are they small hands? I'm talking about Mark Rubio here. And Mark Rubio referred to my hands. If they're small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there was no problem. I guarantee. Okay, here's one that got him in a big trouble during the Republican debates quote lying Ted Cruz Just use a picture of Milena from a shoot in his ad Be careful lying Ted or I'll spill the beans on your wife and that's where Ted Cruz went off the handle never returned Excellent quote I was down there and I watched our police and our firemen down on 7-eleven down at the World Trade Center right after it came down and the quote Let's see here. Next one. The only card that we talked about, Hillary Clinton, the only card has, the Hillary Clinton has, is the woman's card. She's got nothing else to offer, and frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5% of the vote. The only thing she's not going is the woman's card, and the beautiful thing is, women don't like her, end of quote. And of course, there are a lot of women who don't like her. There's another one, quote, number one, I have great respect for women. That was the one that really broke the glass ceiling on behalf of women, more than anybody in the construction industry, and I quote. And then, of course, there's the one that he did just a couple days ago, is getting me trouble. How about Hillary Clinton, though? Hillary Clinton? They don't go through some of these quotes. They completely, everything that Clinton, everything that Trump says, they dwell on, dwell on, dwell on, and it's news for days. Then it goes away and he has to come by then he has something else you said How about some things that Hillary Clinton said? All right Now it some of this needs to be set up but I'll just I'll do the quote and I'll have a math set it up sometimes Hillary Clinton quote I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair and the quote Talking about was just changing hairstyles and cheese An annual attempt to make herself seem more human and less esoteric or less robotic, I should say. Sometimes she tries to make a joke and that was her version of the joke. I quote, I'm undaunted in my quest to amuse myself by constantly changing my hair. Next quote by Hillary Clinton. We are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good. End of quote. Now, of course, there's a whole lot of truth to that one. because that's exactly what socialism is all about. Let me say that again. This was during her 2008 presidential campaign attempt. Hillary decided to let the general public know exactly how she would fix the economic mess that Bush administration dragged the country into. She said, quote, we are going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good, end of quote. Probably a poor choice of words, but that's exactly what Democrats and Republicans are wanting to do. They can't say that. I thought she said it. How about this one? Direct quote from Hillary Clinton. Quote, who's going to find out these women are trash? Nobody's going to believe them, end of quote. Now, this has to be set up, and we're talking about, of course, the women like Paula Jones, Michael Inslee, all the women that were coming forward that were supposedly involved with her husband. Hillary scoffed at the notion that these accusations would be taken seriously. And then she said, quote, who is going to find out these women are trash. Nobody's going to believe them. And of course, millions of people did believe them. And it was found he was lying and he got impeached. Actually, people seem to forget that. I've mentioned that impeach word on the Democratic National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National National Uh-huh. As opposed to America, it's already been created. There's still a few pieces missing from that puzzle. Socialism in action here. Again, let's repeat that quote by Hillary Clinton because they talk about Donald Trump's quotes all the time. Quote, God bless the America we are trying to create. End of quote. Uh-huh. Socialism in action. Another quote by Hillary Clinton. Quote. My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know, I just don't understand it." End of quote. Now, this was needed to be set up, I guess, a little bit. She was struggling to accept that Barack Obama had walked the Democratic nomination during the 2008 campaign. She managed to offend not only the Kennedys, But elections, voters, elections, voters, and Bill all in one, by saying, and I'll say that quote again, quote, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. You know, I just don't understand it, end of quote. You're just joining us. We went over a bunch of silly comments Trump's made. In his very short political career, what about a year for the most part, and the things he said within the last year, for Hillary Clinton's got a lot longer time to stumble without a teleprompter. There's another quote from Hillary Clinton. This is from 2004. I have said I am not running and I'm having a great time being a first time senator. Of course, she wanted to run for president. And she likely figured the GOP would steal that election too, so she decided to sit out in 2004. Next quote by Hillary Clinton. That was during your 2008 campaign. I'll say it again. Quote, we have a lot of kids who just don't know what work means. They think work is a four-letter word. End of quote. I could think of some other four-letter words, but I try to stay away from that stuff on the show. End of quote by Heather Cootin. Quote, I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century. End of quote. Someone supposedly is educated or served, maybe lost track or a teleprompter. Apparently some of the country grammar infiltrator, a sentence she made important statement about gender inequality in the country. And apparently, she's not as far as she thinks she is, because she said, again, I'll call it here, quote, I believe the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century. Okay, next quote from Hillary Clinton, quote, the American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not, end of quote. Well, it's an erotic thing for her to say. That's an actual quote from one of her many anti-G.O.P. speeches. Wouldn't it be a case of a hot calling to Ken O'Clock, would it? Again, I'll quote that statement by Hillary Clinton. Quote, the American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not. End of quote. I'm not making this up, folks. Next quote by Hillary Clinton. If I didn't kick his ass every day, he wouldn't be worth anything. End of quote. That of course, you probably know what they're talking about there. Hillary all but dismissed her husband's political achievements, taking credit where it didn't belong. And I quote again, quote, really Clinton quote, if I didn't kick his ass every day, he wouldn't be worth anything. And the quote, and probably neither would you Hillary, just saying. Another quote by Hillary Clinton. I have to confess that has crossed my mind that you could not be a Republican. and be a Christian." End of quote. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of Republicans who aren't Christian as well as many Democrats. Generalizations like this so large, there's a reason why the general public doesn't like you nearly as much as you think you're adored to be by your husband. Again, I say the quote, I have to confess, that's crossed my mind, that you could not be Republican and be a Christian. End of quote. Quote by Hillary Clinton. When Trump says something about a Muslim, he gets attacked endlessly. But you haven't heard that quote before, haven't you? Another quote by Hillary Clinton. This is about Brian Williams, actually, the same he made. A quote by Hillary Clinton says, quote, I remember landing under sniper fire. And a quote. relating to Barry Williams, the only major public figure who made up colossal whoppers while being under enemy fire overseas. In 2008, Ann Adilah Hillary calls that an event that didn't happen during the trip in Bosnia in 1994, she said, quote, I remember landing under sniper fire, end of quote. Too bad we can't suspend politicians the way NBC can suspend Brad Williams. Okay, another quote, and I can't say a famous quote by Billy Clinton, because you've probably never heard of most of these. Another quote by Hillary Clinton, quote, he ran a gas station down in St. Louis. No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century, end of quote. Now that has to be said, of course, it was during a speech, he featured a quote by the legendary peacemaker Mahatma Gandhi, Hillary Clinton apparently confused civil disobedience. with self-service stations, which she made her major spoof, her major goof spoof. And I say that again, quote, he ran a gas station down in St. Louis. No, Mahatma Gandhi was a great leader of the 20th century, end of quote. So Gandhi achieved peace in India by refusing to sell gas to the British then, right? Another quote by Hillary Clinton. Well, I'm not going to have some reporters pouring through our papers. We are the president." End of quote. Do you hear that? Let me say that again. We are not going to have some reporters plying through our papers. We are the president. Now that was during the height of Ken Starr's overreacting investigation into Lewinsky affair. Hillary took a strong exception to the news media demanding paperwork regarding Whitewater and Bill's various affairs. And she said, quote, I'm not going to have some reporters plying through our papers. We are the president. And that's why I call her Billery today. Another quote by Billery Clinton. Oh, I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession, which I entered before my husband was in public life, end of quote. That was in 1992, through a time delayed bomb into Bill's Candace campaign. She made a remark and rubbed many people the wrong way. So, some of the, we've got equal time here, Donald Trump makes a lot of stupid things because of his foot and mouth syndrome, but as you see, Hillary has done so as well. Before I go, while we're running out of time here, I wanted to briefly say some breaking news, which may or may not be something more to this or not, I'm just going to get some headlines as I start looking to this, and unfortunately, this is a developing story about Julian Assange. Now, Julian Assange, of course, as I stated last week on my program, You're seeing all this clipping off from Trump and all the things that happened in his campaign that seems to be putting him down a couple of notches here and there. Well, the same thing is going to happen with Clinton because that's what they have to do. They have to create the illusion that there's a difference between a Republican and Democrat. They've got to keep the race kind of even so to make sure you still follow this race. It's all just a dog and pony show. So they have to lower Clinton down now a little bit or raise dramatically Trump, you know, statements like the the war veteran at the Democratic Convention, where the guy stands up there and says, read this Constitution, Donald. Well, maybe he said that in the wrong place because of course Clinton hasn't read the Constitution, doesn't know what it says either, doesn't follow it, doesn't have any intention of following it. It's pretty ironic that they would pick a statement like that on their own convention because Billory has no intention of using it either. But of course Donald hasn't said that yet. I'm kind of surprised he didn't mention that. But anyway, Assange, there was a murder in D.C. A few weeks ago, right before the Democratic National Convention, of, well, let me do a brief synopsis of this. I don't have much time to get over this, but somebody named Seth Rich was murdered. Let's see, which is just offered, let's see, talking about, because this happened a few weeks ago, and I was kind of missed the headlines, because there may be a lot more to this. Such Rich, 27, was shot and killed while walking to his Washington, D.C. apartment last month, and his killing remains unsolved. Julia Sauns suggested this week, without evidence, that Rich played a role in leaking emails that showed Democratic National Convention officials disparaging the presidential campaign of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, the weak lead of, of course, the resignation for several DNC leaders. Now, Trump and others were hinting that it was the Russians that did it. And now, here comes Assange saying that it was this gentleman, Seth Rich, and maybe that was a reason for his murder. Now, the family is kind of up in arms about this. They're saying, stop spreading conspiracy theories about the death of our son. There may be a whole lot come up, because Julia Assange has stated... that he's going to release information about Hillary Clinton that could knock her down a few notches. And that's what I was getting at here. Well anyway, check out, watch this story. It's going to be developing over the next few weeks, possibly, into something much bigger. This has been Craig for Bid Knowledge. Forbid knowledge.info is the website. Thanks everybody for listening. So long. 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 is free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone. Your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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. It's number you traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what 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 bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? This is the evening intelligence report I'm our karneke One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both behind the lines in occupied territories North Southeast ladies and gentlemen you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org And we're on satellite once they've had all our merchant marine personnel out there across the whole of the planet not every ocean And we're at a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. I want to say hi to 93.5 FM circuit and all the girls running that particular station. We've got a handful of sisters, young ladies, who operate two different micro-FM's, one FM, one AM, or forgive me, two different stations. 1 FM 1 a.m. And they run two totally different programming networks at the same time Of course, they play us when we're up on the air. So it's kind of cool anyway It is 30th of November. It's the end. This is the last Broadcast day for November and you know of 2022 this is it. That's the end of November We are into the last month of 2022 Again, Weapons Wednesday, it is the 14th year of Open Obvious and Pissing in Your Face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist, Occupation of America with a K. 2022, Old Earth Calendar, 2022, Battle for the Republic, The Dance of Swords, Let the Dance Continue. And a couple things here real quick. I have a bunch of little projects I'm working on. I mentioned carry systems and equipment. And I've got a bunch of, I had thousands of macro of holsters at one time. I think I saw probably close to 800. Most of those are time stored, but I had a few that were in odd places and I'm working on one right now that was left with some prop rigging for some photographs that somebody wanted to do. And the leather took a hit, took some abuse. So I'm working on right now, but I'm amazed at how well it held up. It's actually been out in the weather a little bit, but some of the solutions, and several people asked me and some of you sent emails, I responded back, but we need to do this publicly. Gibbs is really good for resuppling leather and not hurting it. Now Gibbs is a lubricant and actually originally brought into automotive competition racing. Gibbs But it works really well and in fact the leather barn down here in the bottom of Michigan has used Gibbs with its leather working for you know that long as Gibbs has been around just about Now it's not the cure-all for everything and there's a couple of step-by-steps that we do You can go with needs foot oil if you have a piece of leather that's really you know Stiffed out you're not sure if it's going to come back The biggest problem is when you, if you try water, for instance, and that is one of the oldest tricks, is re-moistening the leather with water and then re-working it to get it to undistort. In many cases, the leather was actually molded. It's a thermal-sink system. And so what's funny is it actually works like plastic to a degree with the older leather, in that it will go back to its original form. So that does work sometimes, but... The problem you got to be careful with when using water is that leather can separate and crack. It will fracture in spots. It's organic. It's tissue. We just had it really good with all kinds of special products and some more unique than others, depending on what year it was made. So instead, we want to make the leather more malleable so we don't separate it along natural crease or tissue lines because there are things that, you know, they don't distort when they're first made, but they will separate Because as the material dried, it compresses on itself and it stretches apart at the different joining points or flexing points, depending on what piece of weather you're using. So you want to oil or work an oil into it. Needs foot oil is one that a lot of people use. There's a bunch of other leather treatment types. I would not, would not, do not, would not use silicone. I know that was a go-to for many years. The problem is, is it goes to a crystal and it works into the leather and becomes like an abrasive sandpaper in the material. The crystalline structure of the silicone as it dries or as it works in and you know, it's the materials, whatever it is, or how it's made malleable, how it's made fluid. So with the way the silicone is stabilized, I believe what it does is the Whatever the distributing material is, is lighter, it's viscous. It is absorbed by the leather and pulled in, but then the silicon nodules, they're very, very, very fine. They'll bond to each other and they create these highly aggressive abrasive crystals that will cut nylon, they'll cut plastic, they'll do whatever. So in the past, where people used to spray the gun case with nylon, in the short term at work, but in the long term if it was sitting for a very long time, the same separation materials would take place and the residual crystalline structure of the silicone is what would do damage to the finish or even to working parts depending on what the product was. Now, it doesn't mean that there are many other solutions out there for leather, but what you want to do is be patient and work it. Let it reabsorb and rehydrate. Don't be in a rush. With leather, I have reformed it myself. I've done a lot of work with taking older pocket, for instance, pocket automatic holsters and reforming them to fit another gun that was fairly close. And the water system, the water, soaking it in water and then making a cutout of the product to begin with and then eventually working the actual firemen as the leather dries is a way to form fit the leather. But it's something again, moisture is a plus minus thing, H2O. The oils, on the other hand, rehydrate, rebond, and to a degree, duplicate the fats that are to a degree permeated through any materials or natural oils that exist in the leather itself, even when it's been tanned. So this is another thing that's critically critical. Yeah, mink oil is another one that would work to a degree, but again, you want to work it in. And a little bit of rubbing creates heat. And so especially around joint areas where you'll see breakage is around flaps. I know a lot of people got frustrated with turn of the century leather. US military used leather and canvas even before World War I. The canvas usually holds up. Amazingly enough, even though remember old canvas was really cotton. with hemp. There wasn't any nylon back before World War I or polyester. So the materials, amazingly enough, with hemp hold up pretty well. Now with the leather, it's where any of the hanger straps are and where the leather back is. And you can reference a lot of other people who do leather work. But the basic rule just, while I know water is the first fastest and first come to mind solution, typically warm, It does have drawbacks because you still have to introduce something to make the leather malleable. It's got to be able to move. And unfortunately, people get it. Like I said, first of all, with old leather, you got to be patient. I'm just bringing this up because this little sidebar project that, you know, I know other people have run into. When we got these Makarov holsters, they were a quarter a piece. So I'm not exactly all like, oh my God, however, what am I going to do? Well, the problem is that now it's a $30 holster. Any of them are in fact if not more because now they're all collectible the Cold War the end of the Cold War is way back in the taillights guys In fact two bridges back 1990 91 and Then we had a surf sheet of other equipment that was available and they didn't know what to try to translate the money and the currency had not been properly evaluated or valued And so with China, we got a ton of goodies out of that. And with the Eastern European bloc, especially East Germany, we got a ton of really cool junk for little or nothing, along with obviously Russian, Ukrainian, and Czechoslovakian equipment too. The big thing here again is also with, again, the inside surface, because if you'll notice, most of the inside surfaces are kind of a demisuede. That's to pad and reduce wear. on running points of the pistol when it's in the holster. And that's the tougher thing to recover because that unfinished material is kind of like, you know, leather cottage cheese, I guess, only stringy. And it's varying thicknesses, you know, and the different little flanges and laps and layers. So there again, you're going to want to work it in. And that means sitting down in front of the TV and actually just taking your time. I don't know you guys ever meant many, you never polished a pair of corker and boots or combat boots because you don't have to do that anymore. But you just sit down in a place and you just start working the, you know, working the leather in little circles. In this case, what you want to do is in the same way work the material in to make the material supple so you can then do whatever you want to do with it. The big thing here, if you're, if you're lucky, a gun's in it, but if the gun's in it, it's exposed. Your guns probably all rusty, okay? We know that. So, yeah, unfortunately the weapon, you know, the good thing is the weapon's not in the holster. The bad thing, holster got abused. But it's not dead. It's not unserviceable. A lot of neat things about the Macrog holsters and the Tokuro holsters is that there are different models. The ones I like that are like the Finnish and the Czech models that had double or triple magazine pouches attached to the holster. So when you grab the gun, you don't just get the magazine in the magazine. Well, you get another mag, at least in the magazine slip, if it was packed properly. And in some cases, two or three. And I said, two or three, yeah. They put one on the back strap where the top of the frame, you know, the slide rides. And then they put two under the back plaps. So there's three, anywhere from two or three. Sometimes you only put two. And they actually would be on the flap side and they are covered by the flap so they have additional protection. When the weapon is holstered, everything that would need to be protected has got an extra layer of shielding with the over flap. But as it is, again, be patient. That's the most important thing. And Gibbs works really well, especially to address the issue with regard to any bending or folding points. And again, I will point out that a lot of cases they made leather hangers, a couple of leather hanger straps or a hanger sleeve in the back of the holster to go on the belt. And where does it usually fail there? Well, right at the top of that because it gets squashed flat. And rather than being just gradually rounded a little bit, usually it's because it sits somewhere, got wet like we're talking about, and then was kind of paper crushed. You've got to really be careful with that. And in some cases, the only solution is to do a little leather work and make a replacement cross strap. In other words, it will break. It will actually fracture all the way through. If it's really bad, but you still don't give up I don't give up on stuff like that You get a nice new piece of for instance, you can use calf hide You can use just conventional leather and a number of different thicknesses But it's got to be flexible enough that you can bend it and you can actually stitch another loop top top line To the back strap and make it work, you know make it not new but make reinforce it and put it back together so It's the idea that especially since some of these guns, it's harder than hell to find a proper holster for the weapon and if you can use original equipment, it's kind of nice because it's already built for the gun size, you know, the magazine pocket and for the gun itself. Whenever anything like this happens, there's always a ton of the stuff that's inexpensive. That doesn't last forever. Okay, this is obviously the case. East German stuff is now on the premium end. I should point out, so a lot of you guys who picked up East German equipment from me when it was so incredibly cheap, guys, I told you before, you could buy 50, 60, or 100 of them, turn around and sell two or three and pay for everything and actually make a profit. Just sell two or three of the items. You don't even, you don't have to sell half of what you got. All you have to do is pull two of the nicer ones out. Take them over and put them into the market and make all the money back you paid and a profit We're just selling two of them now. That's how how extremely different you know how things are gives you a flavor or taste of reality When it with surplus and munitions and equipment, okay So anyway, that's just a sidebar the leather issue also again There are a number of It's a little wave and I don't think it's going to last but a burp. There's a number of Polish and also I think there are some of the Romanian Cold War pistols. Oh, they're probably just after the Cold War. These weapons appear to be the last part of the inventory. Probably Poland is dumping some of them to get capital for other weapons that they're, you know, they're, they're standard on. The one thing about this is that they had, while they'd sold quite a few, they retained probably the best, is what they did. And the problem with that is they got rid of their parts inventory. And so, or their spare parts, you know, hanger queens that they could have used to keep the guns running longer. They've now decided that for the difference in price, you know, they can market these things out to the render revolution companies. And now they're buying, you know, the next generation or they're retaining or have money to maintain the other surplus that's not as old. There's a bunch of guns like with Poland and also with the Czechs that are post Cold War collapse that are pretty decent weapons, but they didn't stick with them. However, like in Poland, they're militia slash their local defense forces. are basically getting that generation of weapons right now. I don't know what else they have, and I'm sure they're not really hesitating to issue everything. I would also point out that there's a bunch of weapons that they've also been handing over to the Ukrainians, which are probably the older weapons still. And in turn, this is forcing them to have to stick with the resurrection weapons of the post-Cold War fail. And that includes actually the last model of AK that the Poles put into service that was an overlap from the Cold War war plan at the beginning, well, end of the 80s. For the Germans, it was the AK-74 and a number of other firearms that were on the edge of going into full production. They did get into production, but they weren't fully replacing everything. And because of that, the countries that were involved like in East Germany, they just slid sideways over into the West German Bundeswehr Armamentsk plan. But with Poland and Czechoslovakia, which soon would become Czechs and Slovaks separate. There's a whole bunch of weapons that were a good idea to me. It makes no sense that they dropped them. This purely the political hat crap of the EU. And if they had not dropped them, they probably would be better off today. So again, this fascinating because there's all kinds of interesting solutions. Nations make many choices with arms, not for the reasons you might think. Okay, most of it, in many cases it's part of an extension of the political awareness. The Japanese, it's ethnic and it's politically oriented, not militarily oriented. That's the way to describe it. It's a signature thing. So for everybody out there, just a reminder that this latest wave, by the way, 9mm macro sum, What's interesting is a number of these little frame pistols which are in the medium or you know small frame are in 380 auto so I mentioned this before good guns, but if you're gonna commit to either one 9 millimeter Mac or Macro or 380 auto You want to buy whatever ammunition you can get your hands on during this short reprieve that we have right now. And even there, I mentioned 3ADM over at AIM surplus, two of the offerings that I was kind of trying to point you toward were already sold out. So didn't mean to do that. I mean, somebody said, Mark, they're already gone. I was like, yep, I know that's what happens. It's like, you know, be fast on your feet. Now I would point out some of that could be that if you went a little later, there's a lot of people listening. actually do follow through on what I talk about here. So I've mentioned this before, just because they have it listed doesn't mean they have a lot. Don't be frustrated by that. But just because they have it listed does not mean they have a lot to sell. But they are, maybe it's a very broad swimming pool, but it's a very shallow swimming pool. It's just the way it is right now. Another thing. Well, let's see about, and we'll see with regard to ammo. There is another batch also talking about waves. There's another batch of the Turkish eight millimeter ammunition coming in. It's supposed to be ball ammo. I had not seen, it may be also in stripper clips, in bandoliers. Turkey's not been banned yet, and you know, Turkey always seems to get preferential treatment for you. They must be Turkey's probably how the opium drug money out of Afghanistan, that's where it's flowing through now. You saw how the trick works with the bank and freed scam. They steal the tax money, they send it to Ukraine. The Ukrainian Jewish mob gives it to the little Jewish mobster. They filter it back out and put it back in the pockets of the characters who stole your tax money. The same is true with dope money. In fact, you'll notice with Afghanistan, opium has completely disappeared as a conversation in any way, shape, or form. But opium hasn't gone anywhere. All the problems of the opium trade are right there where they were when we first went into Afghanistan and nothing has changed at all. But you have heard about the opioid crisis. That's right. And again, well now it's the fentanyl thing and it's China, China. No, it's not just China. It's again, where's the dope from Afghanistan going? And obviously all the Taliban, they don't mind that the Taliban, Talibanese, whatever the hell you want to call them. No, these shysters are obviously moving the dope the way they always have. And the way they were all the while that we were in Afghanistan, and it's amazing, did we burn the site down on the way out? We abandoned the one air base, so we get burned down all the opium operations while on our way out, right? No, no, we didn't. On that note, it's a sidebar thing too. You've got some turd yapping that's one of the mouthpieces, and he's just a general staff hack. He's retired, apparently, or whatever, who knows? He's a political hack now. to try and put a smiley face on a feces pie. He was yapping, I was listening to some garbage city, he goes, well, no other country, we may have evacuated and done it with our tail tucked between our legs, but nobody could do a better job of it than America. What, tucking your tail between your legs and running like a cur? And this character actually said this, that, you know, wow, we did such a great job. Look, we, in such a short period of time, we abandoned all of our allies and we evacuated Afghanistan. And yeah, I know we left a bunch of people, you know, standing there in the, you know, within a vacuum and kind of all killed. But we did all the rest of the stuff so fast. We betrayed everybody so fast and so efficiently. No other country could see the country. Sir Robin. Sir Robin bravely ran away. Yeah, they're brave, but not only that, in other words, trying to make it sound like we were just so good at what we're doing. What? Okay, defecating our drawers, driving our bung hole, our spine out our bung hole like a meat xylophone, betraying our enemies, burning their supplies, destroying their equipment, and then running from the door. That kind of, that's like a wow. But you actually have these patty waist, worthless curd, purple hair, and queers of three-dollar bill, peto, government types, flapping their yap that way. That's what they're in there. That's the word twister in motion in the perfect form of, you know, the thing we've warned everybody about and described forever. So nothing's changed there. Nothing at all, as a matter of fact. Let's see, next, now on to other things here. With regard to those weapons before holsters, spare mags, everything else was offered, I don't see any spare mags with those. And I don't know, although they did get more of the weapons in, I don't see, typically when they brought stuff like this in, there usually has been at least a little sputter of spare mags. The only problem, I don't see those. And again, you have to pay attention before you grab the weapon and buy it. Make sure that you look around to see if you can get magazines for whichever model you choose And I mean seriously look and I almost be to the point where if you come across the mags and they're available I'd buy four or five of them right away Even before I buy the gun if I know I'm gonna buy the gun I've already got it locked in on my sights I would first right off the bat if I think find any spare magazines you want to pick up four or five of them right away There was a number of bursa, 32 and 380 stacked magazine double stacked bags, magged pistols that came in, remember, and there were no spare parts, there was no leather, there were no magazines. And only by a fluke, we just caught one spot, one location that apparently got all the bags that were the spares. And after that happened, they've been gone. And since all the old Magazine manufacturers that used to be around in the 90s are gone. There isn't anybody other than maybe ProMag who is kind of caught up on doing the odd mags out like that. But they got to get highly motivated before they'll actually move in that direction. If it's a small production run of weapons or it's a burp of surplus that came in, they're probably not going to go to produce. So that's what that other consideration with all of these weapons when you're looking at them and it's not that you couldn't buy them anyway I mean, come on guns are for buying not for selling You may want the weapon because it fits your collection needs or your interests or you're just curious about it Looks like you'd be fun to shoot. Well, that's a good reason But I highly recommend if you're serious about it guns are for buying not for selling once you got it You want to make sure that you can take care of it? No, I will remind you again. Sarco Gun Parts Corp. Apex Gun Parts. Whatacountry.com. Those are not the only companies out there, but those four companies have a really good inventory in their particular area of interest, their niche. And of the four, Gun Parts is probably the deepest in inventory parallel with Sarco to a degree. And then Apex is doing a big catch up. They've been around for a while, but there's a lot of other stuff they're getting. that is simply not available through anybody else. Everybody has their feeding trough, everybody has their connections. Tell you what, before we go any farther, Edward might be right there. It's just past the bottom of the hour, and we have, on Weapons Wednesday, a traditional bottom of the hour break. What mind you madness fills in our valleys? There is danger and there's danger in our hills Oh, here you're not the singing of the view, the wild and free But soon you'll know the rifle from the tree Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle In our hands, for proof, note the rifle You may ride a good league speed You may know a stern and master Your forward march with speed But you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader, John, a star Glad you make what little noise And always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove Noah's rifle I need no graves at home, back across the briney water That giddy must come, I call it to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Lyndon's figure hold the buck through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, don't prove no true rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, don't prove no true rifle the rifle will prove no trifle. Think about that. Acce over volume fire. Acce up suppression fire weapons, but that's not the whole team. A couple of people in a squad have the job of suppression fire while the rest of the team is hitting what they are aiming for. That doesn't mean the suppression crew can't do its job too, but the idea is that everybody has a task. You learn to develop that skill and you'll be amazed at how successful you can be. It's still the dance of swords. Remember, all sides are trying to get over on the other. You have to come up with an idea and perfect your techniques and your katas, your grouping of actions that will put you on top of and beat down the other side. Also, change up. Don't just do the same thing over and over and over again. Many times it does work. But eventually someone's going to be paying attention and identify the pattern. They're going to beat you to your game. So let's make sure we change up. But we make that part of developing our skills and perfecting our mastery of the trade. Always remember that. Ruger is building a new weapons weapons. I got to make sure I throw a few more things in here. But Ruger is producing an AR-10 type 308 rifle. It's their Safari pattern weapon and although again, I have not personally shot the weapon There's a lot of talk about it. Needless to say and there are a variety of the AR-10s I've not shot at all simply because there are a few more of them out there than there were several years ago And the newest models that have come out are not cheap reasonably priced. Ruger actually is doing wow oh my god black rifles with large magazines and Ruger is even selling you the magazines which was unheard of when the Soviet owner was in there before. He'd sell tin pot dictators but he wouldn't sell to you so just heads up on that. Anyway this particular again the 308 pattern I believe that they're offering it with a 25 round mag. or a 30. I'm not really excited about either. They work. But again, let's remind everybody you're talking about a little bigger weapon. So what we want to do is we also want to stay closer to the earth. We want to minimize our silhouette. When you start to make a much longer magazine with a very big rifle, you end up rising to the occasion, or in this case, exposing yourself a little more and you probably need to. So you should want to, I should say. So again, this is why with prone fire activities, shorter mags, even 10 round mags, five round mags or something you should have in the inventory, especially for placement shooting. If you're gonna be trying to actually just put a round down range and hit what you're aiming for and not spraying and praying and not even exchanging in a firefight. Remember again, in unconventional and paraconventional, the bushwhacking and random active aggression against the isolated available target chosen for its lack of preparedness is what you're trying to do whenever possible, okay? So it's especially critical that everybody Keep that in mind when you're putting your kit together for any of these MBRs. In this case, like with an AR-10 variant. Because I know everybody's pressing to try and put a bigger magazine on the weapon. I didn't buy them by the bigger heavier bore, so I could try to spray and pray the same as I would with an AR-15. I don't need the, I need it in a little bit of a different dynamic is the best way to describe it. So anyway, it's just whatever floats your boat, I'll tell you what, like I said again, you're willing to pull a 105 artillery piece behind you and bring it to battle. You think I'm going to complain about what you're carrying? Not at all. But do take the time to kind of develop a little bit, you know, experiment to see, you know, what Uncle Mark's talking about makes sense for you. Another thing here about the Ruger weapons is there may be some proprietary Ruger part issues. Always pay attention to that because each one of these companies, Smith and Ruger, have a tendency to address some issues with their own ideas of how to do things. Well, when they do that, they may bring into the picture a proprietary part, which means you gotta buy from them. So you wanna pay attention to that. And again, I do not know with this Ruger AR-10, if it's using the dominant or more common mag or if it's using a Ruger mag to see if that would be a big issue. So again, let's see if we can find out about that. I'm gonna do a little more work on it tonight. Just to see if I can track down specifics and some of the stuff they've seen written up on these weapons They're not addressing the critical issues again internal common spare parts Fire and pin extractor ejector bolt bolt at least bolt if not bolt bolt carrier That is especially critical for any of the weapons made in this day and age if we want to sustain them We have to maintain them Okay So next, let's see, we have plenty of time. Another thing here real quick is most of you have probably seen some of the comments or commentaries made within the Congress slash the Senate and the House here over the last 24 to 48 hours about both the ATF and the Justice Department. Mostly the Justice Department issue has been with the January 6th. When an idiot stick, here's how this works, basic rule. When you ask a question of an ass hat in the bureaucracy, and they tell you that they can't tell you because there's an investigation, that means yes, they were doing what the congressman was asking. So when Cruz asks the idiot stick, the liar, the wicked one, the pedo, the queer, that's coming in from the injustice department. Well, were there federal agents there in January? Oh, well, I can't tell you that. In other words, there were. Yes, just say yes. In fact, if there's any other multi-syllable consonants and vowels included extensively, repetitious, nauseous statement, it means that they're lying and that if they claim no, in reality, it can only mean yes. So in reality, yes, the ass hats created, fabricated and developed the whole January 6 scenario across the board. It was done by the feds and the Mossad. It had very clear cut federal markers and activity points on it. One of the things, of course, several individuals that were very much right up there in the camera. We're directly involved in the in storming the gate, so to speak, which was a while big deal bicycle barriers being pushed out of the way. Individuals who were involved directly in that are taken off the list and the government doesn't charge them or whatever, period. A grandma goes through the Capitol Building, stays within the borders, and they get all of the restricted controls to walk into the Roton, and she gets trespassing and two other charges. This character who's talking about, you know, going into the Capitol, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. First of all, I can care less because ain't nothing that any of the patriots are going to do in the Capitol building that's anywhere near the garbage that the leftist turds have pulled not just in the last couple of years, but for decades. It's the leftist turds that have run in and broken things, painted stuff, you know, folded, spiddled and mutilated, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. If not right in the on the Capitol building or you know again directly involved with the facilities It's always been in the peripheral. They've damaged other parts of the site. They've attacked secondary sites around the primary building Etc, etc, etc, and that's okay. The commies love what the commies do American taxpayers get get fed up and oh my god We got to keep them down because they got to keep sucking off our life and everybody pretty well's announced that we've had enough So it's interesting coming back in the shysters being what they are are Trying to deflect as is pointed out 200 and some days later They're not still responding the same way which means that I don't know what they're gonna do they can claim they're gonna defund it But if they don't so if I don't see the money stop and if nobody's being charged from the government and where they're being brought in because you and I in fact several people who were Being pissed with with the fake ass January 6th hearings have been told that they need to go to prison because they weren't properly cooperating with the good of the Congress. Well, everyone in these assets that I see that keep not responding when they're being directly requested for information, they shouldn't even be leaving the room. Of course, half of these now are being done by video conference still and that needs to stop. That needs to end for all these political hacks. They're lazy as the day is long. They're worthless turds. All those bureaucratic turds need to be physically in front of the Congress. You and I, it would be expected of and they try to charge us. These jackasses pull this garbage and get away with it constantly. Well, that needs to end. That's another thing that just needs to happen. Doesn't mean that anything's gonna be done. I ain't holding my breath. But as long as I keep seeing the video conferencing crap and all the rest of that, it's all the pickle smoke mirrors and fake. The liars are gonna continue to be criminal. The best thing you can do is organize arms, equip and train as militia, buy more food and ammo, make sure you got more mags, and get ready to have an American war for independence. The only thing that's gonna fix this. It's like in China, and I will repeat this again for this hour. In China, if whoever's in China, through Chinese whispers, Best thing the Chinese people could do is start killing secret police. Even if only a percentage of the population stepped up, and every person who stepped up killed one of the secret police, they would run out of secret police before the people that stepped up could all get their one secret police cop to kill. You do understand that, right? And as it is, some of the things that has been caught now on film, I would show no mercy to any of the ones that I've seen. None. They know exactly how to baffle everybody with BS, how to lie about what they're doing, even as you watch what they're doing, and how their little communist buddies over here want to, A, mimic what they're doing over there, and B, like what they're doing over there, and would like to be participant in doing it to us here. demonstrating again why you need more ammo, why they want to disarm you, and why we need to shoot their ass. That's just all there is to it. So again, the most important is personally for you to find the people of like mine, focus on the basics. Do not talk about plans for this or plans for this. That's ridiculous. Personal defense plans? Yes. Security and operational plans between yourselves with regard to responding to support each other? Yes. There ain't nobody out there we need to bother with now. Don't worry, the organic mobile resupply pods will be coming to us. We harvest them and then we go find who sent them. And again, even in America, there are far more people that are patriots that have weapons than there are secret police. And if everybody just bags one, you would run out of secret police before everybody would get their single police state limit. single biped deer in the headlights type of secret police target, let's put it that way. So everybody needs to be, again, properly organized, properly squared away, and then constantly trained to develop your skills. Now, gotta touch on this, because again, we've got this on the weekend, looking pretty good. I wanna say thank you to all of our friends that have donated, but real quick, we are, of course, into the end of the year drawings, because we're into the end of the year billing cycle. This means that we will pay for a year in advance in several different bills that allow us to continue to operate without interruption. And we're trying to again make sure that we get to our mark. You people are making that happen. If you would like to donate, the drawing is designed to be a gift procedure so we could have some fun. You donate to Liberty Tree Radio when you put your money into the coffer for every dollar that you donate. Your name goes in the hat. We have a drawing. We have multiple drawings, one after another. Basically, they're gonna get a little more, they're gonna be happening more often after Friday too. What happens is that if your name's pulled, then we're gonna send you a gift as part of the process. So, first of all, you go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key. You get the donate key, donate any amount. For every dollar, your name goes in the hat. So a 5, 5 times, 10, 10 times, 20, 20 times, etc, etc. When you are donating, go to the donate key. There's a donate section. Forgive me, donate key to donate, yes. Go to the Notations section in the Donations cycle and include your mailing address. We need that so we can send you a gift if your name is pulled. That's number one. That's through www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and then using the Donate key. If you want to write in a mail-in a donation, you will send the donation to PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And in addition to that, you then need to either use FRNs, in other words, cash, or a checker money order. You can leave it blank, but if you want to, and this would be a better choice, make it out to Nancy. Last name, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. That's Nancy, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. And when you do send everything in the envelope, if you're using cash, put a little piece of aluminum foil around it. And also we need a slip of paper with your mailing address, name and mailing address. It's print. I've got a little stack here on a little clipboard that's off to the side of the workstation. And as we add them, I'll have them ready to go. So the night of the drawing, if your donation was mailed in, then I'd be able to ship it out. I'll have it printed out that night, like right after the program. Some of you got your gifts probably within a day or two. They're pretty good. They're not that busy even for it being a quote unquote holidays. Shipping's not busy right now. Not the way it could be. It's making good time to get there. And if you're gonna mail it in, it's too late for this one as far as getting into Friday's drawing unless you're really, really, really close. But you will be in the next one no matter what. And again, the goal is to get 100% of what we need for the end of the year bills, which we do. Every you guys have been great. We've had some really consistent and phenomenal listeners that have provided donations over the years in this cycle doing this. And of course, some of you guys want a lot of stuff too. Hopefully you're all you. Time I've done your basics should all be covered with what I've sent, I hope. But we do have some really good optics. Batteries should, everything should be there that you need for it to run, for everything to work. Also again, it's a mix of items. Always check the box. If you got one big goodie, always look around. There's usually more than just one item there. And don't just throw the box away, because you might miss out on something else really cool you'd like to have in your wallet, or have in your pocket, or carry in your backpack. Okay? Anyway, it is Wednesday. We're in the middle of the week. Kind of funny, the de-emphasizing. On the one hand, it was really important for us to worry about yuck rain. Needless to say, we should still be, we should be concerned about it because it'll be wasting our, it's already wasting our money. It's a total waste of our money. We had no business sending anything to the Ukraine. Nothing. Zip zero, not a... But not only that, but it's going to be waste of manpower, waste of lives. Once they decide to figure out how to sucker America into a conflict, you know, to create the expenditure of humans, it's going to get really bad, really fast, okay? So if you're stuck and you're one of the troops overseas, I can't emphasize enough critical, you know, field items, fire starters. multiple perishables because the supply system is going to die immediately. If you're in combat operations in Europe, the supply system is going to have a very short life. After that, it's catch as catch can, especially in the early stages of an exchange. It's going to be an absolute disaster. But hey, that's over there. It's not us. But we will have similar problems over here so I cannot stress enough all the items that you saw that the corona beer virus You know scam created toilet paper for instance. You should be stocking up ahead of the game I don't care what anybody says and don't don't don't worry about sharing this to anybody else if you're listening Don't worry about other people Okay, hey, you probably should buy more toilet paper while it's cheap and available. Kitty litter, cat food, for instance, all those kinds of items are non-existent on the shelf in this area. Everybody is consuming it right down to the bare shelves. And then the stuff is showing up about a week later again. And they restock the shelves, but almost as quick as it shows up, it's depleted to zero again. Again, it's weird. Kitty litter, of course, is what's really fascinating because it's not a critical item, but it's nice to keep the cats happy doing what they're supposed to be doing. Reusable and learning how to screed things. Yep, even kitty litter is critical. But also don't let it go to waste. If you have erosion points or whatever, that that limestone that's used, that sand limestone that's used for kitty litter. is a cement type product once it's been fused with what it's meant to do. Amazingly enough, it is a great way to break or block erosion points on pieces of real estate you might have that are not critical, but you don't need to be stepping into a erosion hole, wood chuck hole kind of thing and twisting an ankle or something. So never let material you get go to waste with just one purchase use. Always find a second purpose. And I have used kitty litter to uh, and doctor up every area behind every tree that's out away from the house on the far side. The feds are going to show up if they drop down or anybody drops down, take cover behind what they think is natural cover. They're going to be up to their elbows in cat poop. Just share the wealth. Okay, and since you know, you just keep doing it. Remember the cats keep doing it. Well, everything is to serve a second purpose. And this is one of the things that I do with that resource. Now you throw some nails down there and have the cat poop and everything else and even more of a nasty object to fall into. Did I say that? Yeah, I know. Nail boards and cat poop. But anyway, other ideas, again with regard to supply and support, the 9th is when the rail strike could take place. It sounds like everybody is still trying to quote unquote avoid that. The political hacks, of course, like all the rest of the drivel from before the fake election that we had earlier in the month. The fake election, before that happened, they had all these promises. Those are all thrown out the window in the shortest time I've ever seen. But what's really fascinating is of course even with the the rail strike was supposed to take place before The election. Well now nothing has changed four of the unions are not approving it and So it's possible on the ninth that you know, everything could go to hell in a hand cart just from the rail service But it looks like they're gonna play police state with them because they know that people aren't gonna put up with much more of this crap The 21st century has made up of a bunch of incompetent fools, hacks, and wicked evil people who need to be shocked. They're asked to be down the road and meeting the creator, that's all there is to it. Why? Well, we didn't have blackouts. You can gap. All these idiot sticks are redone. Here from the 20th century, this is the 21st century. All you mean with blackouts, communications failures, transportation failures, etc. You mean that 21st century with all you incompetent jackasses fools and purple hair and petal queers? Is that what you're talking about? We didn't have blood. We never had any blackouts in this country other than storm activity and that would take a hurricane or a major tornado to actually knock out power in an area. For my whole life, we've never had blackouts. Or rolling blackouts or you know, oh my god, we're just gonna have to don't plug your stuff in we don't have any power That's the incompetence and the stupidity and the evil and wickedness of the group that are from the 21st century Which by the way really isn't true But you know what a lot of the turns are from the 20th century that all know that they're making this problem happen Which is why they need to be gone So, laugh. The 21st century so far has been nothing but a string of progressive failures and has gotten worse by the day. And there is no solution in sight. And you can yap all you want about how you're going to wish in one hand, you know, about how it's going to change, but defecate in the other.
