Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we are on satellite. I'll say hi to all our merchant marine operators, reflecting, deflecting, rebroadcasting, and doing all the cool stuff that they are doing. every hour of the day and on every ocean on the planet. Thank you. We're in a myriad of other communication technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Monday. It's the end of Monday. They're heading into the evening now. It is the third of April. It is the 15th year of open, obvious and in-your-face Fabian socialist Soviet Socialist occupation of America with the K 2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the Republic continue we're gonna make sure it does and it is Monday and the end of Monday apparently I guess Trump is in New York and is at trumpet towers so again blah blah blah blah blah And needless to say, as we've already pointed out, everybody knows the whole operation is alive. But this just finishes the whole argument about thinking that there's any legitimacy with regard to these courts anyway. So up, down, back, forth, purely for the sake of spinning our wheels and wasting our time. and wasting our life's time, which we can't get back. So this is why unjust takings like this are stopped with small arms fires when the time comes. You have to have a war for independence. You have to, again, re-win your freedom. And in the process, well, kick them back. But don't worry, there'll be some fool who will try to plug the garbage right back in and start the enemy on a roll, step by step. It'll take a while. They figure after all the people who fight the war for independence are dead, They can baffle everybody else and BS again like they've done over and over again. It's just a cycle of life. Expect it, earn what you can, try to keep what you've earned and to do that, you've got to stay in the fight. Every aspect of the fight. Understand money, understand economics, understand the political processes, understand the base structuring, the construction of our form of government which is supposed to work. as opposed to the Twilight Zone foolishness that's going on right now, which is totally alien to our form of government, which is why it needs to be out of this country. So, got a lot of work to do. Anyway, real quick, before we go any farther, there's a video I mentioned in the two-hour block. It's over on YouTube. None of these are brand, brand new, and the idea is not brand, brand new either, but there's a great little video I want you to watch. It's $5 Homemade Body Armor, exclamation point. Exclamation point, that's dollar sign, the numeral five, and then homemade body armor, exclamation point, exclamation point, exclamation point. Cool little project. Here's the thing. If you're not trusting what you're being shown, well, for a few pennies, you can put the thing together yourself. Although I'd add a few things, we've talked about that. You'll reference the two-hour block we just had here this afternoon to the evening. and find out for yourself. Build it, test it, see if you like it. After all, it's a really cheap, cheap project, but think about it. Mobile body armor, not just for wearing, but how about for putting in places to help protect you from personal harm from in a house, in the vehicle, take your pick. There's all kinds of places where inexpensive laminated armor would be very useful. We talked about some of the ideas there during the two-hour block, so you might want to go back and listen to the program if you didn't listen to it when it was going out. So that's $5.00, homemade body armor, exclamation point, exclamation point, and exclamation point. Okay? And that's over on YouTube. Next, this Wednesday, for all of our friends in the Midwest, anybody who wants to make this, There is another meeting in Big Rapids and this is Standup, Michigan. So if you're listening right now and you can make it, if you're in one reasonable distance, it's gonna be on the 5th of April, which is this Wednesday. 6.30 p.m., get there early because parking is crappy, because it's on a college campus, and most everywhere you wanna park requires a permit, just like U of M, Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, they're all sane, they're parasites when it comes to cars. Suck it off your wallet. One of the many things that happens when you go to the collage or to the university, okay? But anyway, this is at Ferris State University, Williams Auditorium. 630 South Michigan Avenue, Big Rapids, Michigan. Again, Ferris State University, Williams Auditorium. 630 South Michigan Avenue, Big Rapids, Michigan. And yes, there's a Michigan Avenue in Big Rapids, but don't confuse it with the other two Michigan avenues, Old Michigan Ave and Michigan Ave, the bottom of the state, okay? And again, this is gonna be on the 5th of April, which is Wednesday, 6.30 p.m. Standup, Michigan. This is a meeting having to do with the Communist Chinese Battery Plant. Guys, the entire contract slash charter for this operation is in black and white. It speaks for itself. It shows you exactly what the agenda is. And there are other things that are going to be coming into question that people should be asking. And hopefully we can plant a seed and get everybody in motion on that one because, again, the locals are not happy with this. Oh, there are some idiot sticks, but that's the ones bought and paid for, typically. Well, they're freebie handout types, so they're communist. But the location is Ferris State University, Williams Auditorium, 3-0, South Michigan Ave, Big Rapids, Michigan. Okay, so hopefully we got that out three times. I'll do it one more wheel in the network. We can do this. Ferris State University, Williams Auditorium. 630 South Michigan Ave, Big Rapids, Michigan. And be there at 630, although I'd get there early because you're probably going to have to park a little ways away. Right down from the college due west, there are a bunch of business strip malls and there's lots of parking. So if you get a chance, that direction, you can walk in. And there's other locations, everybody will figure them out, but the idea is that there are many different places that you can park. It's just you're going to have to walk, okay? So proximity is the issue. If enough people show up, most of the close spots are going to be busy. So you might just want to do a Google Map search and go through the area to see what it is we're talking about because you can literally drive the road without being there. You do know that, guys. You can do a horizontal image. and look at the area to see what we're talking about. And you can do that on your dime. Okay, your dime. So as it is, again, the other events and activities going on, well, okay, they've been yapping nonstop over the weekend about getting the guns. The big thing is, well, Australia, they confiscated the guns. They did a buyback. First of all, they're not buying anything back. We didn't buy these things from El, you know, El Guburmento. These are private property purchased and of course acquired at our discretion, everybody out there. And they just want to try and take from the people, the parasite, the third party parasite, you know, the skanks in the bureaucracy slash the government inserting themselves into our lives when they simply need to be gone. So we'll work that out, deal with that problem as we go, but go ahead, just do it. You know what? Go ahead and try whatever you think you want to try. Everybody pretty well sees the writing on the wall and the worst thing is timing because you're you know the going after the Trump thing and everything else it's like We're not we're nobody's frothing at the mouth everybody's just got a little piece of paper and I'm putting a check and a check and a at a given point all the boxes will be checked and Then a response will be made not a reaction We don't riot In fact, the whole idea of what happened at the Capitol building, there is no doubt in my mind that that was FBI, Mossad, slash Israeli Mossad run. The elements of the operation were where they were supposed to be based upon the script by the corporation, read that the globalists, okay? Otherwise, we don't riot. If we were going to actually be resisting, quote, unquote, or insurrection, well, it would have been a lot more than just this. Everybody knows that. Anybody serious would know that. So there wasn't any interaction involved. There were federal agents that were stirring the pot and in fact swinging with fists and digging things on where they could. But it didn't work for everybody. So you just got to remember that. They're going to do worse. I will point out again. And I cannot emphasize this enough, the feds and the Mossad are preparing to do a bombing attack in America on American soil against us. Again, feds and the Mossad, that's the Israeli Mossad, that's who usually is doing the bomb operations in conjunction as the foreign asset. They do use others. The Mossad drags the Germans along because they got them by their gonads. are preparing to do a bombing attack in America, on America, on Americans. Once doing it won't be American, they'll be kosher mafia, either inside the government dual citizenship or the trash from outside. Take a pic. Same thing we've seen over and over again. And so again, pay attention there also. Another interesting thing, there's this after Waco series. Well, the Waco series itself that was done is enough of a tongue-in-cheek buffoon reaction, leaving out as much as possible while still it's the classic docudrama where critical points are left out because, well, they want to make it look like it was just confusing. There was no plan. They never planned it. You know, they just decided to roll out there and attack the Bratovidians randomly. Only as the last minute thingy, they hadn't practiced or planned or anything. No, no, no, they were just out there staring at them and they finally got their panties in a bunch and then the fence came rolling down the road. That ain't what happened. You know, if you watch this BS with the, again, example with the trash involved with the original attack, you wouldn't start with the cattle cars rolling down the road. In fact, if you did, here's how it should be done. In fact, if we were to take their version of it, we can actually have a lot of fun with this. See, you could have the cattle cars rolling down the road. You have no idea what it is. And they're all pumped up. You don't know what it is. And they pulled in in front of the building, which they kind of keep the shot cropped. And they roll out of the building and they start the attack. And then about two thirds of the way through the attack, it's hold it, stop, stop, hold it. And then they pan back a little bit. You realize it's not a quite complete lived in Branch Davidian house and Branch Davidian Church. Why? It's the training site at Fort Hood where they built the full-size mock-up of the Branch Davidian Holman Church a full year earlier. So it didn't happen because, oh well, you know, we were so excited and then we heard about the Chitlins and then we got our panties in a bunch and we just knee-jerk went out and attacked the Branch Davidian. That's not what happened at all. The original plan on the Branch of the Davidians was engineered by George Herbert Walker Bush and his administration specifically and quite personally as part of a long-standing multi-year task of attacking gun owners, FFL dealers, and manufacturers in the United States. Under the control of George Herbert Walker Bush, both the FBI and ATF were on a massive campaign to attack America. Before that, before Waco, obviously there was Ruby Ridge. But before Ruby Ridge, there had even as Ruby Ridge took place, there were a whole bunch of other actions all over the country that were escalation step by step by step. Boiling, bringing the water up to a boil, figuring the frogs were gonna be stupefied, and every step they could attack and do more, and it would cowl the population into surrendering their guns. Well, it didn't work that way. And that's why Waco was the next logical step because that would have been with Bush, the kickoff for grabbing the guns. Clinton was just the pass-off man like it, you know, they usually do. So, oh, George Herbert Walker Bush didn't get voted. It's a totally different administration, but with the liberal, you know, Bill Clinton guys. Bill Clinton simply inherited the Waco attack plan and it was already in motion. They'd already made the decision They just had to pick a day. He already knew that they were gonna gonna do it And it was for the same reason under Clinton that they were going to do it under Bush Bush should probably pissed because that was a big sacrifice thing for a cultist especially for a cultist like the Bushites and the Clintons Being able to murder a whole bunch of women and kids that's big brownie points for the Satanists big brownie points for the Satanists. So whoever got the opportunity to be able to listen to the screams of the children and the dying whales of the women with their children in their arms, and of course all the Branch Divinity members being executed with gunshots to the head by shooters who were inserted with the APCs that went in through the walls, Well, you know if you let me give you an example of something guys anybody see the Waco series that was done, you know, docudramas Like the one where they showed the first day attack, you know, of course are totally askew they the the the coaching and the and the Imagery is totally wrong and they have an actual video of the attack as a comparative study. So how can you make a variation on it? Oh, the taking poetic license. There is no such thing when you're reporting on a factual event like that where it's a, you know, this is, this is not like 200 years ago where you can say, well, Davey Crockett didn't do this, he did that. Or Lincoln did this, he didn't do that. No, no, no, no, no. We're talking about an attack that was videotaped by four federal cameras and a private news television crew. Now the video from all the Fed cameras disappeared but the footage that you see of the first day's attack came from a Again a private camera set up with a news crew that was in place so that gift the film got away from them Right so we can show you exactly what happened when the feds went up the ladders and what they did to come down the ladders and how some of them went into the building it didn't come out okay But there's other footage that again, beyond the shadow of a doubt, it's both documented and reinforced with intelligence and imagery, and it's all left out. And probably the best example is the last day when they burned down and murdered the Branch Davidians. Who's the guy coming out of the second floor window with chem suit with a gas mask with hood and a tactical weapon who walks out of, climbs out of the second floor window, walks to the edge of the roof to the first floor, and then a tank rolls up. He walks off the roof and steps down onto the roof of the turret. The tank pulls away the engineer vehicle and he works his way down the turret holding onto the main gun as the vehicle comes around to where there are some bat faggots and FBIs come and the guy walks off steps off and stands right there and they're all like oh, oh, hi, how you doing? There's no, it's obvious they're not Branch David. That's not a Branch Davidian. So who was the guy on the second floor? What was he doing on the second floor that he had a gas mask, chem suit, and he's up on the second floor? What was he doing up there? Coming out from the inside? Hmm. Did they show you that in the little Waco series? I mean, they could even have gone to the part where they could have made him a character or something and even lied about it by having the guy pull the chem suit, you know, the gas mask off and wiping his brow. And yeah, it was tough shooting people in the head and the confusion of all that gas and fire, but someone had to do it. Right. So who was that masked? But they didn't show that in that little docudrama propaganda series, did they? So you can imagine what kind of lies are going to generate with the next wave. I mean, after all, look what they're doing and everything else in the country. So again, this is why just as with the Oklahoma City bombing, and by the way, that's what they're leading up to is to say that part of the propaganda wave. Again, the feds and the Mossad are preparing to do a bombing attack in America on American soil, on Americans. And that would tell you, I'd say anything but what it was. Fill in the blank as far as the agenda goes so everybody don't get caught flat-footed Gourge yourself because they're gonna try to get away with that garbage anyway, we're almost to the bottom of the hour and just as a Reminder, it has been a very busy weekend. Of course, we have not been up on the air since last Wednesday and oh lo and behold, of course, we had enough stuff. Keep us busy as it is But there's been a lot of stuff going on in the last five days and today is no exception. So real quick. Now let's do this. Since we know what's coming, how about Karl Klangs rock them in their ivory towers? Because, well, Mr. Trump is in New York amongst that batch of ivory towers right now. So perhaps Mr. Klang has hit the nail on the head. and Carl Clang rocked them in their ivory towers. That'll be our bottom of the hour music break. Also, again, don't forget, here we go, that we will be back. Carl Clang, thank you, Edward, appreciate that. And again, Carl Clang, he's gone, but then again, he's not, because I just heard him a moment ago. I'll stay alive as long as we make sure that we remember our fellow patriots that are gone. And if they're musicians slash a minstrel in the gallery, well, they'll always be there waiting to play. And it is, by the way, again, it's Monday. It is the 3rd of April. It is approximately 833 plus or minus by a few moments here in Michigan. And again, it's Eastern Standard Time, by the way. Just make sure you understand. Weather has been neutral today. This is kind of interesting. We're obviously in the middle of everything. It's an absolute doldrum, but there's dynamic cloud activity all directions out on the horizon. We're in between all these pressure fronts and other things that are going on. It's interesting the way it feels. I mean, you're looking out across it away from you, you're figuring, wow, it must be raining. Up above, wisps of alien cloud pattern. Ooh, well, not so much alien, but typical for these seasonal changes in spring and fall are always dynamic. So that's exactly where we're getting out of the deal. March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. Yeah, lamb that somebody's trying to catch and shear doesn't want to it is biting and kicking and yeah trying to get away from you So classic Michigan spring anyway a couple things also here again Remember that over at Center fire systems calm if you haven't seen this I don't know how many be interested They have bags of mixed 40 caliber Smith and Wesson ammunition I don't know where this came from and I do want to ask them. So if anybody else gets a chance, we need to give them a call. Hey, where does this come from? Now, this kind of mix usually, especially since this is modern ammo, this either A came from departments or it's some of these departments when they confiscate guns or whatever, they shuck the ammunition. They can sell it. There's nothing that says they have to destroy it. And either this could come from a department where they have had ammunition or inventory on hand, or it could be from evidentiary or, you know, again, stockpiles they've picked up. But it is a mix of hollow point, soft point, ball ammunition, brass case, nickel case, or nickel plated brass, obviously, probably some steel. and also some aluminum. And the aluminum, of course, is wah-man. It's an alloy. It's not really just aluminum. There's a unique blend to the casing, if you're not familiar with it. And by the way, you can fully reform those aluminum pieces of brass, slash, you know, those pistol cases or rifle cases, but pistols typically what it's in. Anyway, it's $148 for 500 rounds of 40 Smith & Wesson mix types. If you go to the page, you can see the bag. They look at it and give you an idea of what's typically inside. Of course, each bag is going to be different. And it is, you're going to sort it out once you get it. You got, personally, if you have a 40 cal If you like this price and understand this is going to be an interesting spread, it's kind of like when they do mixed nuts. The reason you do mixed nuts, peanuts are cheap, Brazil nuts aren't. And so what you do is an average, you have old inventory of the dog peanuts and whatever. You mix them all together and you come up with an aggregate price that allows you to still make a profit on the mix. Well, think about it the same way. Only this is mixed ammo. So you have the cart-mouthed hollow point. I don't know what breed. I don't know what manufacturer. But typically the hollow point rounds are priced more expensive across the board. Go take a look at the average prices out there. You'll see what I'm talking about. Ball ammo is typically the cheapest. And soft points sometimes parallel or a little more expensive. So... There is a mix what I would do first is sit down put it all the you know table or the reloading bench and sit down there get comfortable and Sort all those rounds out by hollow point soft point ball and then also by case, you know by head stamp and by type of case So you sub category or sub short them and this way you can probably put several boxes of different types of ammunition together. I always watch for boxes at the range. When everybody shoots, they throw out their old boxes. I love that because that gives me a loading storage system. So, what you do is sort everything out. If all else fails, break out Mr. Ziploc bag. All your cart mouth hollow point, 160 grain or 155 grain or 100 and whatever you got there. Goes in the one Ziploc bag or however many Ziploc bags. I would separate it by count. But if you sort it out, you've got a good mix and If you have a larger group of people, some people are shooting certain rounds, others prefer another round, especially in personal defense guns, handguns. So this is an opportunity to come up with a reasonable mix. It's 30 cents a round, basically, a little less, but let's just round it up rather than down. It's $148 for 500 rounds. So that tells me $300 for 1,000 rounds, 30 cents a round. So you figure out if that's worthwhile, take a look at what it is, but they do have a quantity of this. And I do not know where it came from, but I doubt it's from overseas. It could be overseas. Everybody bought into 40 caliber. In fact, remember the big competition when they started to try and push 40 caliber was 10 millimeter and 40 caliber. 10 mil is actually a little biteier and it's supposedly lost to 40 Smith and whatever it was, the powers that be, the magazines out there, the writing articles, the latest Gurusan shooting all said you got to have a 40 Smith and Wesson or you're just not up. And so everybody bought into from the cop shop end 40 Smith and Wesson. So, a totally new caliber by comparison to others that we've had that are still in service. And of course now they've written new articles by the same magazines and the same publications and the same groups of people telling you that we need to go to 9 millimeter. So now there's all this 40 caliber and all 40 caliber is evil and bad this and bad that. And so what's interesting is they're pressing the market to move more guns or at least, you know, sell more barrels, I would hope. Maybe some of them can be converted over. Wouldn't that be nice? Eh, maybe, maybe not. But anyway, there's a bunch of 40 Smith and Wesson over at again, centerfiresystems.com, centerfiresystems.com, centerfiresystems.com. Take a look at the package, see if it makes sense to you. It's self explanatory. They even go through what type, what kind of casing, and of course it's a full mix of stuff. It can be any combination of anything that's been recently made. So it would, to me, it looks like it's worthwhile. Give me some feedback if you think otherwise. If any of you have purchased any of the latest batch of that stuff and maybe already have it in hand, then give us an update. I don't know if anybody else is doing any videos or anything like that. YouTube or not, but again, Rumble might be a better choice anyway, but it is something as a solution for stocking up on pistol ammunition, but I would separate it, sort it, bag it, and can it. That way it's ready to roll. Again, what you choose, here's a basic rule when I run into stuff like that. It's like I've been telling you, It used to be I would go to a gun show and on Sundays I would go through and see who's got grab boxes left. Used to be like when you went to the Ohio shows. Guys, it was nothing to find. Basically the equivalent to a bushel basket full of ammunition in a box and the guy gave you and say, oh give me $40 for it. I don't want to take it home. And it would be every caliber and gauge of pistol and rifle and shotgun ammo you could imagine. And it'd be thousands of routes, okay? So we've sorted out by the time you're done you'd end up with some of the exotic calibers you hadn't seen in a while and usually a certain amount of pistol, a certain amount of rifle, needless to say, and some shotgun. And that's kind of like what this is, but no matter what I was sorted out and then sub-sorted not only by the type of case and bullet, but then by the actual head stab. Well, we're not going to worry about that with this new stuff. But back then, there was a lot of Colt ammunition floating around. And there's a difference between 38 Colt and 38 Smith & Wesson short. They're saying basic case, but the bullet diameter is slightly different. That was intentional because Colt was competing against Smith & Wesson. So if you could find actual cold ammunition, cold chambered ammunition, you know, in the 32 and the 38 and then the 32 long, well, there were people who wanted that would pay much better money for it because they were collectors. So we paid our money back on the odds and ends stuff where he was turning our nose up because, well, I could sort it. I even collected boxes that were antique boxes so I could match up the rounds to the stuff that's in the box and make a profit on that. I got a chance to shoot the rest. Now what did I shoot? I didn't shoot the really good looking stuff. When you go through these boxes, like with this 40 cal stuff, if I see anything that looks like it's got a bit of a blem on it, in other words, looks like it's wanting to turn a little bit, that goes over into the years of being shot this weekend bucket. You might want to shoot a bunch of ammo anyway, but I still would try to make it consistent. So again, go through and pick out the stuff. If there's anything that looks like it's got a darker case to it or whatever, throw it over there in the shoot bucket. In the shoot box. We don't want to throw it anywhere. Forgive me, I shouldn't say that. But put it in the shoot bucket there and the stuff that's better quality, better condition, still, you know, it was relatively bright and clean. Separate that and box that or bag that up. Make sure it's protected from the environment. And go off to the range the next weekend with that ammunition that you chose. If you have ammunition that is slightly oxidized and it doesn't look pretty, maybe it's stuff you've had in your mags or in carried in the field. Put it off to the side and plan on it being shot first and next. That way the brass can be put into the tumbler, everything can be cleaned up and you can recycle it appropriately and reset the clock on the shelf life of that cartridge. See how that works? So it's very straightforward. The other thing is that over at Sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com, and also at Botash. We were talking about for, you know, during the two hour block, a couple different times I've talked about the $5 homemade body armor panels. Well guys, what you want to do is look for, you know, markdown or again, close out or clearance. plate carriers. It doesn't need to be very fancy, but you can make up auxiliary or secondary body armor to either have stored for yourself or to issue to people who don't have any body armor. And the big thing is having something to carry your homemade armory. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. There are plate carriers out there all over the place. In fact, that's the one thing that's cheap and easy because for under $20 you can get a complete system so that all you got to do is figure out what to put in the pockets. And that's a fairly simple way to go. Now, I mentioned the Osprey. If you're not familiar with the Osprey system, it's Brit. We operated a certain amount of U.S. The U.S. military has operated a certain amount of the Osprey equipment at different times. There are many different camel patterns. I don't say not a big bunch, but there's a wide spectrum. British DPM, standard DPM, multi-cam Brit. Also there is an Osprey in Dutch DPM that was out there. I don't know how long they had it or what they bought. That's been out in surplus. Then there's a couple of different American flavor camouflages, if that's your float your boat, and OD green, and also some in just a tan or a coyote, kind of a halfway between tan and coyote brown. Not quite real bright tan, quite dark coyote. But the stuff is out there. Keepshooting.com has always had some. They actually have had the vest with most of the armor. Most of the inserts, there are a lot of them. If you take a look at how many pieces you need to fill out an Osprey system, it's quite a few actually. But the idea is it covers throat, it has a gorgé, it has the arm cups and arm covers and forearm or should say upper arm covers that go down halfway. down the length of the upper arm. There's all kinds of panels and inserts. There's also add-ons. Now the problem with that is you may not find the add-on armor plate bucket or cover that matches the gear you bought. So that's where you have to do a little more digging and searching and that's where you may spend more money because it ain't the razor, it's the blades. In other words, all the tiny stuff or the replacement stuff that you need that you get you as far as the cost goes. So we don't want to drive the expense of this stuff up. It's the $5 homemade body armor Exclamation point the video it's one of many so I'm just pointing this one out this time around Because it's a good simple video to watch there is testing that's done You can see what the result is and after you watch it you're gonna know How can I make that better and still not spend much money? So the other consideration too is what kind of plate carers? What's the dimension for the pockets and the plate carers that you have available? Now, I would point out yet again that if you pick up some of the hand-me-down Kevlar inserts, the soft armor, and combine that with the $5 pleat solution, you end up with a pretty significant defense level. And I would put the Kevlar to the inside. I would put the ceramic to the outside because the Kevlar is, again, going to also work as a bumper. If something gets through the plate that you've made and the paper that's used as part of the deflector, that the Kevlar would finish stopping anything that might dimple through. It's never going to stop everything. There's some point you're going to run into something big enough, it can probably get through body armor. So it's not, this is why you'll never hear anybody that really knows what's going on going to call anything bulletproof. There is nothing bulletproof. There is bullet resistance, but there's always a bigger bullet down there Okay something that's got more of a point more velocity and more weight and it came out of a big bore a piece of something that maybe is on a vehicle So that's why it's bullet resistant most things and most important is also Fragmentation defense so this is another thing I've talked about many times just that front and back plate Isn't enough you need to have wraparound armor around the torso at least It's like a helmet. You're better off with a full wrapper out, not an open-side helmet because we're talking about battlefield situations, not police state operators. Okay, if you're a police state operator, yeah, you'll get away with some of the technology because you're, you know, you're thugging up on one person or a family or a target or whatever. But if you're looking at it from the defender slash a fighting situation You need as much wraparound and full full defensive cover and armor as you can because you're looking at a 360 degree threat and That's something that you know equal opportunity dying time is the most critical thing that I said about the problem We're facing here. So let's make sure we don't participate if we get put all possible. He let's put it this way We don't want to be a loser in the participation. There we go Anyway, another thing here too is yes, there are some commercial ceramic plates available. Sportsman's Guide had and still has I think a couple of the Italian ones on the inventory. Also, oh, I don't want to be, might be JG sales. They don't have the ceramic. I do believe they still have the vests. So, you might want to check there also, see what their deal is, what their price deal is right now. Botash, B-O-T-A-C-H, also has some deals on plate carriers right now, just a carrier. Now, they do have sales on body armor. So, if you don't want to do anything that we're talking about here, you can slide right over to Botash or any number of other companies, and they have over-the-counter a number of solutions, too numerous to cover in this 10 minutes we have left for the program. So you'll figure that out for yourself. The advantage of this idea with these plates, as we pointed out, and I want to reemphasize again, is armoring up trucks, armoring up a car, or even positions inside like a defensive area if you've got a retreat. Guys, taking the basic idea that you see with that video and applying it to a larger scale project is not hard. I have picked up, knowing when they had track construction here for a retirement home down the street, I got hundreds of pieces of tile. Hundreds of tiles, if not close to a thousand, of mixed sizes, mostly in the standard industrial format, big panels, including some larger panels that were used in the, for instance, for doing the bathroom work. And every time they were ready to start finishing up a number of places, the tile people came in last. I came in, picked up all the tile, took it back. We've used some of this tile to complete whole projects. And, you know, in complimenting other tile that we picked up. But the advantage of picking up the tile from the cuttings is that you get a lot of different sizes. And as I mentioned, if you want to experiment with creating, for instance, a variation on the Osprey armor, well with all little pieces and paddle cuts that are out there that would be available that you already picked up and put into, you know, I use milk cartons, milk crates, because they drain. If it's so you can leave the stuff outside. But if it drains and stays clear, then you can pick through the inventory, figure out what fits best. If you need be, break out the tile cutter, cut the difference if you want to, depending on if you don't have enough pieces you've collected, and make what make the difference up. and you could actually build a ceramic armor system to fill an Osprey type shell. Now add with that soft armor that's out there, the pieces and components, you have even more protection. So there's all kinds of cool things that can be done. The big thing is, again, let the brain juices flow. Sit down and take a look at this video, watch it, and then think about how easily from ReStore or Resale Shops or Craigslist, estate sales, down the street ahead of estate sales, I just didn't have the time and I already loaded up the truck twice with free stuff. But there was an entire steel building. That was sitting there. I don't know how complete all of it was but in addition to that there were ceramic tile I got some of that Only because they didn't know that the rest of the stuff is available. I loaded up the steel building first But between all of that guys guys the limit if you just dig around Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace, there's another one The other consideration, something I want to say before we get to the, well, we still got a few minutes. I mentioned this during the 2R block, and I'll say it again. One of the things I haven't seen anybody play with is that you can actually buy a cut stone that is identical in format and size to the ceramic plates, the ceramic tile. Now what would be interesting is putting the ceramic tile as the farthest layer outside towards the bullet impact. Putting the paper do the exact same thing but make the inner panel towards you with a piece of Flagstone tile Which is already cut to shape most of the hardware's or most of the big stores like blows home despot Maynard's okay, but ours all these places have that material on the shelf So the neat thing about this is you could actually create a much more I would say resistant ballistic potential with that stone panel, I would still add the other device I was thinking about which would be a small piece of sheet metal, fairly thick by probably about a sixteenth of an inch. It doesn't have to be armor either, it could just be pot metal for that matter. It serves again to dissipate whatever energy gets through the first two layers. The big thing is you would be adding a little more weight with the stone paddle as opposed to ceramic. The big advantage of the ceramic plate is weight. Now everybody goes, yeah, but after you get shot, you watch the video, you get shot so many times, it's useless. Well, it'd probably still be good, but not for what you originally used it for. For $5, if I had $100 and I make, well, let's see, 20 sets of this armor, and I have them on hand and I use it as a standard pattern. I can pull that out once it's been hit and hopefully I'm still alive because I didn't get shot in other spots, right? Or at least not hurt badly. I can replace that panel and slide it right in, but I take the shot panel and put it in my defensive mechanism somewhere late in some place where it's between, you know, me and where something might be coming in. Just as part of, you know, stuff to pile up. But it would never go to waste. I would never just chuck it. I would point out if you look at the autopsy in the video, I didn't mention that, you can see when he starts cutting it open that the ceramic has been pulverized. I expected that because that's what the ceramic does. That's the, it's not a disadvantage, but see with steel you'll get a penetration and perforation, but you'll just get a hole. You're not going to see a massive blowout in the steel. With ceramic, you have very efficient defensive coefficient, but its viability with multiple strikes is limited. So that's the, if there was a disadvantage, it's in the lifespan of the equipment. But since the price is $5 a unit, you're not really crying. In fact, it's $5 only if you go out and pay over-the-counter price. If you really are paying attention, it's almost free. All the materials that he, what he did, is he went to the store and bought the stuff. And he said, again, that's how it came to a total of, a grand total of $5. So, wow. Just think about how many people, you know, that might be in the trade where if you said, hey, save me all your scabby pieces of ceramic tile. and you started building ceramic armor, laminate ceramic armor, combined with other materials. Now other people have done this with fiberglass. That's not a $5 project though. But if you do it with fiberglass and ceramic, that's more like the armor that basically you're seeing on military vehicles. The armor that they're using, you know, for instance, they've used in Europe and the US with different types of defense pieces of equipment, again, with different ideas, different thought processes in mind. But it works all of it gets you to the same location. Did it stop the bullet? Yes How many times you stop a bullet? Well, if you watch that video, you'll see that considering that you were gonna in a Basically a one foot by one foot area of contact I'd say that that $5 piece of defense equipment did pretty stinky good for itself And again, it's not likely you're gonna get piled on with a whole bunch of hits in the same place all at once In fact, it gives you the opportunity to realize man, maybe I'm in the wrong location I'm the stand up pop-up target for my enemy. I shouldn't be in that position right now. Time to move. And if that panel did its job, I'll still be breathing and still have the ability to do so. Or at the very least return fire, right? That might be a good idea. While you're up there, I pull the trigger. So, prior piper planting prevents piss poor performance. Body armor is one of those things that not everybody can afford right away. Remember, you can buy a plate carrier. It's a little nicer and still cheap, you know, because you don't have the plates in it. And buy the panels separately if you have to do it. Just like building an AR-15. So, again, if you can't budget that into your system, you can budget this idea into your system. This should be a high priority right now. The bad guys figured they would catch us flat-footed. The government is planning on a bombing attack. There's no doubt about that because it's the most, it's nefarious. All the piss willies they know because they've already seen it more than once. The moment something happens, all these piss willy Republicans, worthless currs will just fold like cards. in a heartbeat so quickly and make everybody's heads, oh my God, what happened to these people? Exactly what we warned you would happen with these people. Now then they're gonna demand, oh, we had a bomb, man, wouldn't you? Because this is what happened with 9-11. Does anybody remember what Barbara Wawa said, a bunch of the others? Why, we just had an attack on New York. We need to confiscate the guns in America. Does anybody remember that? Am I jogging your memory? I mean, it has been 20 years ago. Yeah Remember that oh, oh the Arabs have attacked us and they're trying to kill Americans and we're under attack and America's under attack They need to confiscate guns in America Really? Well, what does that what are the guns have to do with razor blades and airplanes? Hmm. So is the writing is on the wall We can expect the assets to try what they're gonna try if that's the case that it happens. Oh, well, they're gonna try we're not giving anything up And we get out when the business needs to be, you know, dumped and out of the way.
