The figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in it. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, speaking low to me, he said. We've fought a revolution, Liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from Tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the like brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But Tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shit. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm. and keep our country deep. 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 will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and eat 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 free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? And gentlemen, this is the hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm Mark Harkey one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west southeast and north ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. Let's see, hi to all our merchant marine operators out there, for China and every ocean. Better go above below the waves. Who knows? I mean, can't hear us. I mean, if you are in one sub-service or another, but people are sharing a lot of unique ways. I doubt that it's going there, but you never know. So we'll say hi to everybody. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is... It's Wednesday! It's Weapons Wednesday. It's the middle of the work week. Already. It's been that all day. It is the 19th of July. It is the 15th year of open... Oh, God. If you've been watching, what's been going on the last 24 hours? Open and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. 2023, old earth calendar, 2023, battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. Let the dance continue. If you saw the Senate hearings or the stuff going on with the Senate and the House and everybody talking about the Remember we played that song by the Beatles last night for a reason. And of course, well, it turns out that there was a lot of interference. We would never have suspected that. Patriot movement has covered this for decades. Goes back as far as the eye can see in time, corruption in politics. It waxes and wanes right now, it waxes. Yeah, in fact, it's shy. It's right in your face, they're just pissing in your face left and right, which is why they need to have their sorry ass put out of here. But what is fascinating is on the one hand, everybody is openly talking about what's the purpose behind all of the nonsense that's going on, for instance, with Trump is to affect the election. Either way, it wouldn't be much of an election. Okay, just something to think about there. Either way, it doesn't make any difference. No matter which way you go here, because we're not exactly winning with any of these. One is, you know, what? Maintaining the status quo of not quite sinking, not quite floating. And the other is, you know, shoveling water by the buckets into the boat to try and get it to sink faster. There's your choices. And the other one holding above water Didn't have brains enough the last time to keep all of the neocon people out of the administration And so they did all the damage they could even with Trump in and the worst of the rhinos now mark are threatening to turn in the Senate are turning to threatening to turn into Democrats if the people are Populist and want to have America first they can't tolerate that and they're going to become Democrats They already are as we know. It's like really? Oh, I would never have suspected that never never know. Yes, we would in fact, that's a big We told you so why does this happen? Oh, it's not that there's you know, like there's that there's the Democrats who become what do they do? Oh, they become in part, which means they they just keep voting independent. Oh, no, they keep putting Democrat. Oh, that's right. Yeah, they just go the same way they did before But the Republicans, they're already voting Democrat. They're just gonna openly declare what they've already been doing for as long as they've been in office, right? Think about it. see that Bernie Sanders or any of the others that are out there, well I'm independent or kind of independent, but virtually what does that mean for a demican? That just means, well by not declaring anything, they're actually hoping they can start the new American Soviet Socialist Party openly, and they were hoping for a grandiose, you know, rah-rah following to raise the hammer and sickle in America, more openly than it already is. I heard another voice there, go ahead, call her, jump in there. Hey, I don't know if you heard, but there's a country singer out there called Jason L. Dean and he came out with a new song called, uh, in a small town and he's getting a lot of flack from it and saying it's racist and stuff. So yeah, in a lot of countries, music stations aren't threatening not to play it because it talks about the, um, uh, like Antifa and BLM and stuff about trying that stuff in a small town. and we protect our own and stuff like that. Oh really? What's the artist's name? Is Jason Elvine? El-Deen or L-D-E-A-N. El-Deen. Aldeen or El-Deen. And the name of the song is called Only in a Small Pound or in a Small Pound or something like that. And a lot of times, you see him, he's even threatening not to play it anymore because of the racist stuff. Because what he did is he recorded it in front of a courthouse where some black guy was hung. I have to get where, but there's some, yeah, and they're saying it's racist and stuff. Yeah, it's called Try This in a Small Town, and it's, the background has BLM stuff in it. It's, uh, yeah, it's in a small town. Yeah. They did, they actually over Michigan. I gotta remind you what happened. It's a come-see. We're gonna play it. Farmers are dropping their own crops for the day. A friend is in need and they've come to help. It's what this community allowed for her to stand for. Somebody needs some help, you'll get it. Yes, that's the song. Yes, that's the song. Like I said, they're trying to really... and stuff and they're trying, I would tell a lot of stations, they won't play it. CMT's saying they're not gonna play it, they're trying to get it off YouTube and everything because it basically talks about BLM and the Antipa when they went through all them big cities and did all that stuff and he basically wrote it for that for anyone who wants to come to a small town and trying the big city stuff there. leftist cesspool city stuff, tried to cesspool city stuff in the outlying areas. He won't bode well. This is leftist Michigan we're in guys, okay? Tecumseh, Michigan, the Antifa BLM types all said they were coming down and they were going to teach Tecumseh, Michigan a lesson and they were going to get them. They were come down and get them. They were going to rape, kill, pillage and murder, they said. And everybody paid attention and they listened. And so what happened in Tecumseh is every mother's cousin's uncle's brother-in-law went down on every, went down to every street or went to mom's, dad's, or sister's, or brother's house and pulled the pickup truck or the van in, facing out. And everybody was carrying guns. Lots, lots of guns. They showed up to, you know, go down Main Street and They came into town and everybody came out to the curb. Nobody said anything Everybody just stood there looking at him and of course, I'm sure there are a few people that said well you just go ahead You just go ahead. Why don't you why don't you do something? Go ahead and again what happened was There's a there's a channel called country music television kind of like I want my MTV, but I want my CM TV They're the ones who pulled it amid decries of racism and you know, they're seeing the lefties or communists are trying to figure out how far they're going to be able to drag this down the road before they get shut up, basically, because that's what eventually they'll shut up. Well, the thing about it is too, is it's going to tell somebody exactly why you don't need to listen to that network because they haven't got the spine or the gumption to stay on course. and play something like that on a country station, then they're not a country station. Yeah, I was gonna say, there's probably not a whole lot of, what do we call them, 13% minority people that watch that station, that listen to it or whatever. If you're watching videos, I mean, used to be MTV was videos, you'd watch the videos because the music was there, you could hear it on the radio, but you got to see the band or whatever stuff they did on the video. These people are concerned about what the inner city folks are thinking about, you know, the BLM types. Well, they've also got the Jewish women, the young Jewish women that are also BLM types. But they're concerned about them. That's not their target audience. Their target audience is people in the hinterlands and the people out in the country and people that wear boots and ride bulls and things. Over. Actually work for a living, which is one of the reasons that the type of music they're producing is supposed to appeal to that kind of person and that they have the gumption and the wherewithal to say, stick it up your ass. Oh, I'm sorry, did I say that? Oh, I said what I should have been thinking and thinking what I should have said. But in reality, that is the truth. You know, we're to the point where if you fold, it's just, you know, you just show me your ride with the enemy. That's all it is. And everybody has to say that. All you're doing is if you fold like that, you're riding with him. When people qualify with, oh, mom, oh, no, conspiracy theorists, you know what the first thing that does for me? Yeah, it shuts them off to me. Tucker Carlson has done this a couple of times recently here, and it's like, you know, you really, what happened to you? Did you stuff your head so far up your ass couldn't be pulled out with a crowbar? Because you don't have to, yeah, you don't have to qualify for your enemy and we already know what's going on and the people you're talking to are getting tired of the BS and the you know and the lick the butt licking going on where there is absolutely no need because guess what we're speaking the truth and it's absolutely right Mark and there go ahead call or jump in there who was the artist on that tune am I right on that guys make sure if I didn't get the spelling right ALD L a n The Albian. Albian. Albian. Okay. Alright, Albian. Yeah, Albian. Tried this in a small town. Everybody, you know what? Here's what we're gonna do. Ed, for every hour, about 15 minutes after, in the next hour, we'll plan on playing the song again. And we're gonna play it for the 8 o'clock hour, too. Go ahead, jump in there. Another thing I've been doing to really piss off the liberals and stuff, and every social media platform I'm on, I've been sharing it. I'll share it like every hour. Just to piss the liberals off. Yeah, not only that, remember they may even block it, but they may pull it, but it just keeps repairing. I mean, granted, eventually they might get pissy with you, but in the meantime, I'll see ya, wouldn't wanna be ya, and I'm not really worried if I'm not where you are. How's other places to go? You know, just keep using all the social media tools out there. And I think everyone- Share and share. Yeah, I think everyone should share it, because it needs to get out there, because, ahh, ahh, ahh, like they say, you know, you go, you, uh, go woke, you go broke, and I think that more, I think that everyone should start boycotting everyone by just pushing that song. One of the things is there isn't all that great a country really cut traditional country or country western There aren't that many real musicians out there. Most of them are pretty much Demi Hollywood rock and it would really it would be fun for someone to do a combo country, just like a rock station. MTV sold, but MTV is black television now. It doesn't make any difference. If it isn't, it's the characters who want to be black, even if they're not. If it was a combination, it'd be great, because it'd be good cross-representation, but that's not what it did. It decided to just playing exclude and more importantly is to me what it seemed that it excluded music which was like Dar said the reason everybody tuned in is like well we really wanted to hear music I don't give a squat about the ass that you throw it in there but you know it's kind of fun to see what people came up with the way the imagery it was creative and music videos were not new the music videos are made back to the 50s and 60s guys But there was a channel where, wow, you could tune in at any time of the day and see, you know, if you were lucky, you have to wait. They're usually line up. And eventually, they even had a TV guide kind of schedule so that you could know when to tune in to hear the songs of the artists you wanted to, which was smart. But they totally blew the boat, bottom of the boat out. And nobody cares. And the people that actually grew up with it don't watch any of it, which should tell you something they completely, you know, threw out their market. So, again, somebody else doing that in its purest form can have a lot of fun. Go ahead. You guys, my nephew Kevin James Markot, flat line, he told me last time I saw him, he's starting a country band. And he writes, you know, patriotic music. So, we'll see what happens with that one. Yeah, keep your eyes on Kevin James Markot on YouTube. Well, you know, remember here's another thing. You know, like I said, with my brother, he's the one who just passed away. Guys, he could play anything. He could walk right into, I mean, he grew up with country music or with traditional country western music. The whole family played. We used to get 30, 40 family members, cousins, uncles. My grandpa, my grandpa could play almost, my grandpa Corky played like my dad and he was worthy of your musical capability came from although Obama's certainly also you know was a good musician but my dad was the man who really that's where the I think the articulation skill came from because if you watch them they could play I mean they can pick up a mandolin a banjo a guitar electric guitar is no big deal and bass was so damn easy it was ridiculous but it's the idea we'd all get together everybody bring their traditional instruments over and we jam everybody into the house and out out of the back porch And through the night, we'd be playing, you know? And they were originally with, you know, doing traditional folk music, weirdo, all kinds of ditties that you probably never heard of that I grew up with that I couldn't, you know, I could rattle off real quick if I started thinking about it. But that's what we did and then of course a folk rock was the big thing going into the 60s when he got into doing a band and from that they went to conventional rock or well to rock rock and roll and then from that into the later Psychedelic rock or whatever you want to call it, you know, the Pink Floyd No, everything from black Sabbath the Pink Floyd black Sabbath was considered metal all this music guys, you think with all the phenomenal stuff, listen to the crap that's being generated. I mean it's just flat out crap. Any one of these styles, no matter what I would point out, the instrumentalists, the quality of the product was phenomenal, even when they run drugs. Seriously, I mean come on, the dope age was the late 60s to the 70s. And during that time, half, they even admitted half Penders, now of course when they were competent and they weren't doped up, Some of these musicians were great. Drugged up, you can tell in a heartbeat they were around the corner. Chicago was notorious for that. Chicago was a fantastic studio band, a good starter band in a concert tour. But one of the crappiest bands to listen to if they were late in their tour. Because they were too doped up, they were too tired, they didn't care. A little bit too much heroin. Yeah, 25 or 64, man. You know it's bad when you take a song like that and you can't play your own music and it doesn't even sound like what it was intended to be. You remember Chicago Transit Authority, CTO. That only lasted one album. Then it was Chicago from that point forward. But anyway, music. This is what we're talking about. Weapons. Weapons Wednesday. Guys, you can take music. They're terrified of it. That's what they're terrified here. That's why they hate this song. I tell you, you know what? Who came up with the bullshit about the court? Yes, because here's what the pricks do. There's a whole bunch of filthy, they got gavilte fish spittling down their face right now. They're sitting in a chair that we about like they look like chomp of the hut. The soda drink cans on the right is, you know, empty, you know, belly wrappers on the left. Then they're sitting there slobbering on dead badly and they're looking at all of a sudden. Oh my God, this is so good! Who is this guy? Oi, quick, we gotta find something we can attack. What about him? Nah, there's nothing there. What about his fans? Nothing there. Quick, look at the video. What could be fine? They picked out something in the video. Oh, the courthouse! Way back in Schmidt's and 500 years ago, 150 years ago. Maybe not even in that courthouse. In that town, the oil was hanging. Well, sir, back in the day, they had weekly and more monthly hangings. What are you talking about? hanging you're talking about were two bandits that tried to do the bank. Black people, I mean black white people, all but have a black on the computer, I'm a black person. You see how the propaganda works? That's anti-semantic. Yeah, but it's real true. No, it's semanticism. Yes, I'm tired of semantics being played here. So if you took every video, I could find some cluck like that in every stinking video anyone could ever make. If you start pointing out, for instance, location, they get stuff in Nashville. Oh, Nashville was in the... you know, they was doing the Civil War thingy. I remember, oh, they've got to apologize. Nashville should surrender itself. Oh, I am telling you. I love the Yippee Blaits and Steve Bliss. But I want to remind people, you know, you made that comment about the people being hanged for robbing the banks. Well, who was it insisting that the people got hanged for robbing the banks? It's a really yarmulke-a-wher. You missed the plan. Absolutely right. We're just going to stick him in the state prison. But no, no, no. Yeah, it's just how it works boy get vault What's mine is mine and what yours is ours? It doesn't make any difference if they're stealing your stuff cuz they're black and steam might be the ones stealing it But when you're coming for that money, it's a holy hoax. It's a holy cost cuz remember Yeah, if you do know what the root term in the Jewish circles what Holocaust Holocaust means a ritual offering by fire Yeah, well also it's like death because death and the holy holy hoaxes is you're you know being a bereft of money losing your money losing your cash using your Luca your your simoleons your clams Yeah, I'm telling ya I've been around these people for a long time over here way back when I'm down It's kind of fun to listen to. Oh yours is mine What's mine is mine and what's yours is about to be mine don't like the song. The song needs to be heard everywhere that we can right now. So this is pretty cool. Oh my god and I'm sure they'll write something up that you know what they're playing it on those horrible stations and places. Oh yeah that'll be the next one. Did you know they were playing it over here? Really? Well we really didn't know until we were told by Tom though. So you see cool Tom. Thank you. We appreciate it. Guys if you're running any more music like that then it'd be you know. attack we need to do more to make sure it gets out there. Don't hesitate, won't wait. Ed was right on cue with that. So just a heads up. We are at the bottom and not only that but Ed's right there with his finger on the trigger and it is weapons Wednesday and we have a traditional weapons Wednesday. Hey! Bottom of the hour break. This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I master it as I must master my life. Me and my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, useless. Shoot me before God! You may ride a goodly speed, you may no stir the master. You forward much with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts. Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle. Oh, the rifle. In our hands, we will prove no strife. No graves at home, back across the brine water. A giddy must come, like bullets to the floor. But a sweetie job must do, and as soon as he's begun. If Clinton's figure holds a buck too, the clickers will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no to rifle. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no to rifle. Remember with that rifle to your shoulder, take three breaths, just halfway to that third one, let half of it out, line up the sights, cheek weld, shoulder weld, squeeze that titty, I mean the pull, the trigger, and it should be a relative surprise yet under control, discharge of the firearm. So that minimal aggressive or counter influence is involved and when you pull the trigger, the bullet makes its mark. It finds what it is. You lined up well, psych wise. So congratulations, you hit it on to the next one. Repeat the task, repeat the task and then repeat the task. Remember, many hands make for light work so everybody's gonna contribute to that process too, infantry. Anyway, again, the one more time that song was by Jason L. Alvin. It is Try This in a Small Town. And for everybody out there, well, you know, let's not forget actually that song. He could have used some other footage too. Maybe we should recommend get hold of him. Guys, if he has a page, let's not forget and forgive me. I can't rattle the name of the town that's in my notes. Remember the town in O-N- Ohio, where Antifa pre-announced they were going to come in and they were going to show that little town. It was east of Cincinnati. And everybody asked, why the hell are they going there? Well, because they feel they can get away with it. There's nothing notable about the town. However, like I said, first thing I did, I jumped on Google. Why? Because I wanted to drive the community. So I went to Google. And I drove the town and it's like, okay, there's not really anything here. There's a few small businesses. There's usual A-Gas station. There's the downtown, you know, like township or county hall, which is, looks like it was done probably post or around World War II, because it's a cement block and, you know, with a little bit of trimmings, kind of building, two-story, whatever. And the whole town was smaller or about the same size, maybe as Dexter. I don't think it was the biggest Dexter, probably smaller. And of course, then there was the big thing that the advance party was showing up. Well, they already got to notice that they were coming. Everybody listened. So all of the dads and grandpas and all the men in the community went downtown and You might recall there was that guy sitting there on the bench. Now this is all on video so you can watch it. And of course the control media made outrageous statements because the locals they didn't kowtow to, you know, Antifa and BLM because of course they're out there milling around and they're thinking they're going to bust stuff up. And the old man sitting on the bench closest to the flagpole, the characters start to look at the flag and they're all making noise like they're going to go at it. He looks at him and he goes, you touch that flag and I will kill you. And he didn't hesitate and he made it that simple and it was very self-explanatory. And everybody around reflected the same attitude. They didn't touch the flag. They didn't touch the flag. But by the way, down the road, remember 11 plus busloads of the asshats were on the way, but somebody was smart and blocked the expressway and got them stuck on the highway. So the massive, quote unquote, reinforcement confrontation crew didn't make it to back up the other characters that were the Advanced Party. So they milled around a bit and then they had to unass the AO. Anyway, go ahead, jump in there, caller. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do like Johnny Cash. I grew up with him. So for me, it's, you know, second danger. And again, Edward, find that piece. It's actually done as a ballad, a vocal ballad, traditional, more like what you heard coming out of the country western period. But it is a song. I mean, but it's considered such. But it's Johnny Cash. I think it's that ragged old flag. I think you're right. That's the name of the title. They play it out here in Indiana at the 4th of July celebration. That's always a running song there that they always played during that. And if Ed's digging it up, it probably takes a minute because there is a lot of stuff done by Johnny Cash posted, guys. Kexmaxx, anything else? Please. I was just going to say I agree with you guys. This new country music is just... I can't even listen to it and I can't even call it country anymore. It's not Okey from Muscogee, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty and all them. No, it's gone. You gotta listen to the old country states. I walked through a county courthouse square on the park bench and old man was sitting there. I said, your courthouse is kind of run down. He said, no, it'll do for our little town. I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit, and that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it. He said, have a seat. And I said, is this the first time you've been to our little town? I said, I think it is. He said, I don't like to brag, but we're kind of proud of that ragged old flag. You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when Washington took it across the Delaware. And it got powder burned the night that Francis Scott Key Said, Washington, right and say, can you see? And it got a bad rip in New Orleans Packingham and Jackson tugging at it seems And it almost fell at the Alamo Beside the Texas flag that she waved on though She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill There was Robert E. Lee bore a guard and brag And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag On Flanders Field in World War I She got a big hold from a birth of God She turned blood red in World War II She hung limp and loathed a time or two She was in Korea, Vietnam She went where she was sent by her Uncle Sam She waved from our ships upon the briny foam and now they've about quit waving back here at home. For all good land here she's been abused. She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused. And the government for which she stands is scandalized throughout the land. And she's getting threadbare and she's wearing thin, but she's in good shape like she's using. Cause she's been through the fire before. And I believe she can take a whole lot more. So we raise her up every morning, we take her down every night, we don't let her touch the ground and we fold her upright. On second thought, I do like to brag, cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old cloud. I can run with whatever it is we talk about. There is no such thing as far as I'm concerned. There's only one thing that we're respectful of is remember always give credit where credit's due. The example is whatever we play, visitor from the past. But you know what, anybody, guys, think about all the stuff you could use right now with what you've seen in the short span of only a part of your lifetime that most people said, we'll never see that in America. Well, you got the pedos and the queers vomiting on the streets of your country right now. So, I think it's about time. But again, that's me. I don't care if anybody else comes in. I'm really at that point. If it starts for me, it starts for me. And if that's it, that's it. I got good confidence. There's been many, many friends that are always, you know, we're always there for each other. So I got this funny feeling I'm not gonna be alone, but I don't quail about the idea that if we're gonna come for you, what a shallow or pale heart to use that as an excuse for trying to play slave for the rest of your life. Know what I mean? To me, it's like, hey, whoever it is that comes, I'm gonna be a widow maker. I have to, I gotta try and be a widow maker. My mission is to exterminate. whatever it is that comes before me and then find who sent them. That should always be the attitude of every one of you listening out there. First goal, survive what it is they throw at you and make sure you kill every last one of them. And once you're done with that, well, there is no limitation then. There is no restriction. In fact, the moment the first blow is swung, then we're in a free-for-all. and leave nothing but a rumor in their demise. That's right. They destroy everything that has to do with them. I didn't pick my house up and put a band-aid on it. They just decided they wanted to play police state. It's time that we got rid of that police state. You play for the first round? All the subsequent ones are free. Yep, exactly. So this is again where, you know, be prepared. Some of the stuff that now is compounding daily here. I don't know if you've been seeing any of the latest crap with the Air Force where, well, they basically, they got to get rid of a whole lot of white guys because they got too many white guys as officers in the Air Force. Now they're qualified, you see, but we don't need qualified. Once you have the common horror math out there so that idiot sticks could get away with anything, oh math, there's a white supremacy thing. Yeah, right. Especially at 30,000 feet and traveling in a particular number of knots forward while trying to calculate weight. weight and performance of the aircraft to determine proper fuel loading so that you can get from point A to point B. But if we use common core math, we can be close. But wait a minute, we're not close. And as a matter of fact, two-thirds of the way, the engines kind of sputter and, well, gravity sucks. Okay? But you know, that asshat's going to be apologizing while you're going down. I'm sorry, Bob. I felt my math was good. You know, that's what they taught me. Inner city schools taught me a whole lot about common horror math. And I thought it worked. I really did. You see what I mean? The good thing is, again, I keep this as it is the, well. If we clean the country out, we don't have this problem. We can just deal with performance. And there's a lot of people out there of all backgrounds that actually have some motivation, but they can't get anywhere near any kind of real position. And certainly are not gonna be in a position of authority where their expertise could properly employ. The one thing that you're told now is that having expertise is evil and wicked and bad. Now, the only place that says that is this country here, the land of buffoons where the Jewish mob is doing this to undermine your nation. everywhere else, it's like, no, I really think we want the best we got. If we can't, well, Europe's of course right there parallel with us. You can't say that about Eastern, Western Europe. Eastern Europe is a mix. Shame on Poland. I thought they had their act together. They're dead. But Hungary is still holding on. So Hungary, Bulgaria, it's like, we'll see what else happens with a few of the other smaller states. But other than Poland, from that. Poland took the turn that time they crashed a plane and shot the whole Patriot government. That was where they turned. They were on the right path up until that point. Yep, they were reconciling so there had been no conflict between Poland and Russia. And there really isn't. If everything were done right, it could all be done without any issue of conflict whatsoever. And that is why the action took place the way it did. Absolutely. We have things to do here and our enemy is in motion here. So we need to act properly and that means make the effort to organize our equipment train as militia establish a 510 program in your area of operations logistics the key to victory and Remember more is always better no matter what it is Well, there are some things you might not like too much But it's amazing how everything is useful when you're going to eventually be short everything in a combat environment. So In the midterm right now, of course the election thing is being apt about, but they're openly saying that the purpose for now trying to attack Trump, which by the way is two years down the road and all of a sudden they're throwing paperwork at Trump about January 6th. Of course they are attacking Roy Epps, which is kind of funny. But it's interesting the way that they've done that and that they had to, everybody asks, well, why did they wait to do that with Epps? Well, they did it because they were forced to and they have only one action, which is to try to be consistent as they decide finally to flip the card and go after Trump so far after the event. So Mr. Epps is being sacrificed even though Mr. Epps' defense says, ah, he was working for the government. Mr. Epps is working for the game. He was working for the government. How are you doing this to me? Thought we had a deal. You're expendable, fool. You're expendable. He'll wind up like the guy that they claimed was Timothy McVeigh. They'll just claim if anything ever happens, they'll throw him in the front door and right out the back door. Close the curtains. And every couple of five months, they'll... Shove him back in there so some reporter could come in interview him about how he was wronged by the cover horrible Magga Patriots and blah blah blah Yeah, except wait a minute the Magga Patriots aren't the ones who are charging him Aren't those his people weren't those the people he sided with wasn't he rubbing butt with them wasn't rubbing butt with us You know those right with us Yeah, mostly I thought I had a deal. A deal only exists when there are two sides. Apology accepted. Yes, and goodbye. So, or actually remember that comes from Battlestar Galactica with Ballcar. A deal only exists when there are two sides. Remove Ballcar's head from his shoulders. What? Different day. So, a couple other things here real quick before I forget. One more time I want to do this too. We're almost to the top of the first hour here. Sportsman's Guide dot com. Sportsman's Guide dot com. Ray Ives, write this down. I don't know what's left. Sportsman's Guide dot com. U.S. Military Surplus Dryfire Ultra Lightweight FR Base Layer Pants. They're in size extra large, 2x and 3x and they're brand new for about under $9. They're either 809 if you're a member or about $9 if you're not. These are worth it. These read what they are. Go look at the description down below the image of what they are. This is an excellent price and for a very rare opportunity they're in big sizes. I was even talking with Nancy that since I didn't see the shirts there it's like well you know what? You buy a 3x and you got more material than you normally I mean you can't buy the material for what you're paying this stuff is no fire. This is no burn no belt I don't know what it is You'll probably dive some toxin down the road that they won't discover until way after you die from it You know what I mean cuz it's like well, what is this mail? You don't even talk about that. Look at this. We save you from the explosions a short term But we contaminated you with something that God knows what it does in the long haul. I don't know really on that, but it's kind of one of those classic jokes where, oh, it killed me! Well, at the time you really didn't want to burn to death, did you? Well, no. Did it save you? Well, yeah, I was in one of those IEDs. So, but now you're complaining because it saved you, but now you're sick. Oh, darn. Well, damned if you do, damned if you don't. Right? So, in this case, who knows? But I just am fascinated because this is an excellent buy and it's in big sizes and this doesn't happen very often. In clearance or the end of runs, you don't see them. These are in the clearance section right now. And it's a U.S. military surplus, dry fire, ultra lightweight, FR-based layer pants. Now, remember, these were part of a system, layer four. What was that? I think layer five. They got five layers of this system. But any of them would help. It's basically a flash. It's not a blast material. This is only may have some ballistic potential. I'll bet only a layer because this is very thin. But understand that the materials is weird where some of the stuff comes from and research. But these are again the bottoms only. They're $9 if you're not a member. $809 if you are a member, so you save a dollar. and their US military surplus dry fire ultra lightweight FR base layer pants. If you look, and they're brand new, they're in the wrapper, they might even have some of the other pieces so you can see what I'm talking about when I say system because they identify each of the pieces of clothing as a layer. And you're looking at four or five layers of this stuff with the original plant. Basically like they were putting you in a spacesuit because that's really what the spacesuits do. Remember they're protecting from radiation up and down the scale and thermal. Oh, that's right and insulating because it's got to do both. While of course you have a heating cooling system inside the spacesuit also, which only to a degree they actually even developed that. The other thing is U.S. military surplus capler Zytron Z300 chemical coveralls. These are new and about $14, less than $14 a pair, a pair, a suit, a coal suit. They have the boots. You still need gauntlet slash rubber gloves, which you're going to duct tape into place anyway when you're done. But take a look at this. This is very heavy gauge. It accommodates air and full helmet, the whole nine yards for full helmet face shield sealed air systems. And it is once again US military share plus Kepler Zytron Z300 chemical coveralls. New, about $14 plus or minus. Look to see what the prices are. And that's over at www.sportsmansguide.com www.sportsmansguide.com When you get over there, again, check it out. Go through the rest of the clearance. A bunch of stuff was down, sold out. But they still had all these two items, not all, these two items in stock. They're definitely worthwhile. And you should go, again, if you, See the need. It's the best price you're gonna find in the country for what it is. So it's a very useful tool. That's what we're looking at. Anyway, we are at the top right now for everybody again. It is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. Music that we played, first one again, was Jason Alvin. Tried this in a small town. A figure walks 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've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the length of grave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. 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 family farms. 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 beaten. 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 eat God-given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his fire ants trampled each god-given rite. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave the land of the free? To be remembered. as the last person to support the republic. I wanna be remembered as the man who never abandoned the republic. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Harkie. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories Southwest, East, Northeast, and South. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. We'll see how all our merchant marine operators out there. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is a beautiful, beautiful weapons Wednesday. Like I said, we've got about 81 degrees outside, 50-50 cloud cover, medium altitude, and blue. It's warm, it's sunny. The radiation dial on the solar panels is looking fantastic. It is the 19th of July. It is the 15th year of open, obvious and pissing in your face. Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2023, old earth calendar. 2023 battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. The dance will continue. We're gonna make sure that happens. Maritalist but dangerous. not a single lyric in the song that references rates or points to it. And there isn't a single video clip that isn't real news footage. And while I can try to have their own interpretation of a song with music, this one goes too far. As many, as so many point out, I was present at Route 91, but so many lost their lives. And our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. No one, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines of families ripped apart. Trolley in a small town, for me, refers to the feelings of a community that I had growing up where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of backgrounds or beliefs, because they were our neighbors. And that was above any difference. My political views have never been something I've hidden from. And I know that a lot of us in this country don't agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it too, that's what this song is about. Now that's on Twitter. Again that's at jedisonlbeane, Jason underscore ld. Again that's Jason underscore ld for anyone who has Twitter. Very good. Thank you. Also, also his website. Also, if you want to see his website is Jason L. Dean. Again, his last name is spelled A-L-D-E-A-N dot Comey K-O-M-I dot L-O. Again, that's Jason L. Dean dot Comey dot L-O. One more time. Again, that's Jason L. Dean A-L-D-E-A-N dot Comey K-O-M-I dot L-O. Everybody out there actually do we have the name of the album that that's is that a single piece? It was released or is it an album part of an album? I don't think it I think it was a I think it was I think that's the name of the album to Try this in the small town. I think that was the album was the name of the album, too Excellent. Okay, we'll track that down anybody else if you want to pitch in let's see if we can find that out for sure and And again that we will pass it on But that's one thing we should remember too if you can hey hook up grab the album buy something from the artist and Support the artist that way and a very you know again. It's a Music mix deposit. I'm having a little other songs around the album. That's why it could be some other cool stuff. We missed Now we got to do some research and development. We need to do some ear candy Monitoring and see what we get because definitely if you did one he might have done and a few others on there. It's usually the case. They're just gonna make sure we get it out where people can hear it too. That's the other half of the battle. And again, it is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. And by the way, music is a weapon. Make no mistake about it. There's songs you haven't heard in a very long time. because they know it would invoke the wrong imagery mentally. Well, if they were to play the stuff on the air now, guys, there's stuff that's absolute no play for a very, very good reason. They want you to cow down to the system, not to stand up and dig your heels in and kick them in the face when they try to lash out. We can't do that. Actually we can. It's just you don't like the fact that we can. But we will. I'm going to do it quite effectively when the time comes. Oh, okay, very good. I mean, so we've got Jeremy. Jeremy in... Hold on here. Jeremy in Pennsylvania. Jeremy in Pennsylvania. Oh, listening to one of our micros. Okay, thank you. Appreciate that. asking again where were those clothes. Okay, first of all, wasn't very much and it's sportsman's guide again. So let's put that out there. These are the dry fire. In fact, yep, that's right. You're right. I just had a follow up there. Yes, the dry fire pants. These are like a long john, but very, very light duty. US military surplus dry fire ultra lightweight FR base layer pants. They're brand new. Size extra-large 2x and 3x and they're $9 or less a pair. If you're a member, they're about $8.09. If you aren't a member, they're $9. Either way, you can't buy the material for what you're paying for these. Okay, the company that made these spent more than that even though they do hundreds of thousands of square yards of material. I'll guarantee it. It's part of the, remember the dry fire slash layered flash flame resistant system. This is the core, the base layer, and these are ultra lightweight. Remember you're dealing with being over in Iraq, you know, the places next to Hades, hottest Hades, Iran. So the equipment, they always wondered, because they do four or five layers of this stuff, like a spacesuit. This is the inner core unit. It is worth picking up. These are in good sizes. The other thing that's there at www.sportsmansguide.us Military Surplus Capular Zytron. Sounds like a planet, doesn't it? It's a Capular Zytron. The Z300 system. That's Z300 chemical coveralls. Again, U.S. Military Surplus Capular Zytron Z300 chemical coveralls. If you're looking for a chem suit, this is a This is a good one. And again, take a look at the pictures. It speaks for itself. Also, they do have size ranges. Remember that these are generously cut. Most important to remember, these are generous cut. So they will fit a lot of, you know, a lot of other people. And if you're looking at needing a bigger size than the biggest they got, I would point out that probably if you're close to the biggest size, they still have. you'll probably fit in it. Okay, just they're generously cut for equipment that you probably don't own. On the other hand, all of your equipment can be inside the chem suit rather than outside the chem suit. Just something to think about. This is a good idea depending on the environment. And yes, this is full, this would work for full NBC, nuclear, biological, and chemical. This is a slick side suit by all indications. making it a definitely a useful all NBC option solution. And again, keep it handy. Make sure your nuclear biological chemical defense technology is squared away. Get it done, get it out of the way. It's yours and you can get on to other things. Okay? Just a simple solution. Not just complaining about the problems. Anyway, I hope that satiates someone's interest and needs. Whoever gets there first, I was actually going to wait until we ordered some of these items. But if we do, somebody else will probably get them because they're in the clearance section. Both those items are in the clearance section over at Sportsman's Guide, and it's very rare that large sizes are available. You can always take a bigger size and put it on a smaller person. But you can't stretch a really tiny outfit over a bigger person, especially if it's like tiny tiny like extra small or Remember I might like I was joking earlier China sport Extra extra large which turns out to be less than a medium when you order it. Yeah, that doesn't work That's not what these are like So anyway, take the time check it out. See what it doesn't make sense for you And if you have multiple personnel, remember that these are one of those core items that are pretty handy. Also, they will probably work as a light service silken wear, which is something else to think about because, again, if you're familiar with silk, great in the summer, great in the winter. Wix in the summer holds heat and wix in the winter, so you're still pushing the moisture away. which means your body is not freezing inside your clothing. Kinda handy. Also read the instructions for the material for those, the dry fire, it's all right there below the image at Sportsman's Guide. That'll help you to understand what this stuff does and why Uncle Mark thinks you should probably pick it up if you can afford it, if you can do it. So you at least have part of what is the anti-flash Burn system that the government came up with it works Works really well now again. You're not probably not gonna wear the whole outfit, but all protection like that is good protection like that next Oh ulcer Atlantic firearms They did have some other ammunition deals come in on about deals. I shouldn't say that but they have ammunition that's come in You definitely want to check out, you want to take the time and go over and look at it. It's in inventory right now. I believe they got another batch of 7.62x51 NATO. If you have G3H K91 PTR91s, excellent rifles, perfect choice for a lot of the work that we do. And if you also have the 7.62x39 whatever, they do have some 7.62x39 in stock also again. Now, Atlantic is not a deep deep ammunition retailer. They do a lot, but they don't do that much. In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not the slinging of the fields or wild and free. But soon you'll know of the rifle from the tree. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands will prove no dry bone. You may ride a good late speed, you may know a stern a master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back as much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And their leader just starts. And you make what little noise and always hits the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands, we'll prove no trifle. Grazed at home, back across the ground. It's Wednesday, about a day or a break for everybody out there without my rifle! Useless! And this is why there are different philosophies about even using a rifle sling. Obviously, a rifle sling is great for support, but it can become a crutch if you're not careful. And this is something that was a great, so much debate. There were just two different schools of thought for many years coming out of, in fact, during and coming out of the Vietnam War with regard to the use of the sling and whether or not it should even exist. Hence the biggest concern is ensuring that, well, if you do not have your rifle, you are not effective. My rifle, I am useless. Without me, my rifle is useless. In other words, it's over there. I'm over here. Now, when you hear that, I've talked about some of the stuff I saw coming out of Afghanistan where you see rifles racked outside of an area like what looks to be a CP or an LPOP, expanded LPOP, a very sophisticated one. But the weapons are actually outside and away from the operator. That should never happen. I don't care if you're in a combat zone and you had to put sandbags up and it's a wartime environment, the weapons are not separated from the operators. I think that to me is a significant failure or error, although what? They weren't really in a serious combat situation? They weren't really being shot at? Oh, I know they were. And we've seen the casualties that did come back from Afghanistan. So again, you don't do that. We have the responsibility and the wherewithal as militiamen, as infantrymen in the militia. Or for that matter, being a cook, the radio operator, the medic, I don't care what it is. You're responsible to be part and participate in the defense as needed. So the weapon is useless if it is out of reach or beyond the control of your fingers. That's why, again, the argument about not using the sling had to do with the idea that you had to constantly be in touch and contact with the firearm, which is a critical issue when it comes to maintaining control of being able to have the weapon leap to your fingers. Say what, before we go farther, do we have a caller? Go ahead. Yes, that's text mix. Yeah As far as I'm concerned with a rifle without a slang is it's just about oh three-quarters of a rifle Yeah, yeah, I mean we use it in our We sit in our Apple seed and we teach the use of the slang and it's just not for carrying a rifle Right. It's a it's a great enhancer accuracy enhancer Well, as a matter of fact, see, that's the thing. Having grown up with the M14 and grown up with the M1 Grand, I mean, I've shot the Grand endlessly. Remember, the sling is part of, for that matter, I'll go back farther. I've got a 1903 Springfield. It is using an M1903 leather sling as the primary sling. I know how to and was taught right from the get-go how to readjust it very quickly and to use it as part of the integrated third point of control for the firearm to create that tripod stable base with the tensor of the sling as the crux of the activity and it works. I agree. But the difference, here's the thing, in a close quarter combat jungle warfare environment, the Vietnam for instance, Or in fire, what were basically control points, you'd call them fire bases, they could be, again, forward area support bases. The facility was like, again, a mobile temporary fortress that was constantly on the edge of being attacked. The weapon needed to be nearby, but you didn't want it to entangle with anything, and that was the logic behind not using the sling. Plus, in the field, by the nature of triple canopy rainforest, and this is where the big issue was, everything snags. This is what we've talked about before in the air here. Everything snags. Everything. So, on the one hand, basic rifle marksmanship, especially precision long range shooting, The sling, or not just long range, all integrated ranges of shooting. With the sling, the sling is an enhancement, a significant enhancement. I know completely what you're talking about. But the argument was that for the conditions and the type of situation that the men were in and a varied number of posts, without the sling, the weapon was slicker. That's the best way to think about it. Look at the, I guess even the whole idea of the weapon, as we've said many times, is based on the kind of environment that it was pressed into service to be used in. The M16 family of rifle in the early days, the M16E1A1, is a complete minimized contact slick sided rifle. That's why the grip the sandbag grips were built the way that they were and why they're tapered they worm into things Every aspect of the gun was you know again designed to streamline it to keep it from catching on the other hand like you said in fact remember you could always add a sling if you were in a fighting position in any kind of constant contact environment, but I'm gonna tell you that I know I know and had unit commanders that the sling was taboo simply because of, you know, conditioning coming out of the war that they had just fought. I think, remember, that's part of what was influencing it. Where were they? What were they doing? With SF units, it was the same way, by the way. With one group that I was attached to, it was no sling policy. The next group that I was with, and I worked as a radio operator with that group, It was a you know, personal choice thing. Most people preferred the sling simply for convenience. It was not a wartime environment. We were supposed Vietnam and Everybody pretty well, you know, hey, it was a convenient way to keep it under control without having it leaning laying or Flopping in the event something happened, but I will point something out about that As far as flopping, okay guys anybody ever drop a weapon in basic during the Vietnam era Now I'm pretty well sure I hope they're still doing the same thing, but if your weapon dropped, you dropped right behind it. How many of you remember or recall pushing Fort Leonardwood or Fort Benning away from your body? Multiple numbers of times. Why? Because you were supposed to have constant control of the weapon, and they were trying to instill that into you. Of course, it was the same with Fort Hood, Fort Polk, and Pinkerbik, wherever else you were. You were going to be motivated by muscular stimulation and be reminded that it would be a good idea not to allow your weapon to be fouled or dropped in any way, shape, or form. And that was the primary motivation was to maintain control. Go ahead, Cole, jump in there. Is garland, Virginia the loudest sound on the planet is sound of an m16 clattering to the deck and bootcamps Hutton moment, and then there's the everybody scrambling for all first of all everybody's looking at where the hell is that? Oh, thank goodness that's regarding the sling usage I mean, I don't think I've heard of a single story from Iraq or Afghanistan where anybody you know, we're at the sling and wrapped around the arm and used it for support I've never heard any story from any recent wars where they're doing that. The other thing is to retain the weapon, you know, while having hands-free or maybe to transition to an alternative weapon system. And, you know, if you're in a situation where, okay, I need to be super-duper quiet, having those quick detach, yeah, are awesome because you push that little button in the center and take the entire, not just the sling, you take off the sling ring as well. And so now you no longer have this ring that's just kind of making noise, rattling around on it. So you stuff that in a pocket in your pack or wherever while you're out on patrol. It's a solution. This is where the technology is caught up. I remember again, back in the day, it wasn't considered acceptable to add more plumbing. to the combat harness. That's why, you know, two point, you know, the three point four point slings as opposed to a two point contact sling were non-existent. It was argued it was either, you know, A or B and no in between. As far as using the sling for support, I know people who have, I mean do and did, but again, it depends on the type of shot you're taking. And It's also a matter of the individual's preference and performance and consistency. See, that's the other thing we've talked about over the years. People gravitate to different weapons in a combined arms team and it becomes very apparent. A lot of guys I know that were in every one of the last hundred years worth of wars, and that includes World War I, I'm gonna tell you, you know, people, certain guys just couldn't hit something if you walked it up and put it a foot away from the muzzle. And so certain weapons were attractive to keep that person in the fight. You weren't going to get rid of them, but you had to make sure you tailored their weapon system, the weapon they were carrying, so that they could effectively do something in combat so they could contribute. And this is why even in World War II, the Ordnance Department hated this. Okay, let's understand something. You know who really is what the real big argument and the real bitch is for the military when all these different weapons are in service? Is they do not want to have to service them. Always remember that. And so the combined arms team is great when it comes to, or see the idea of a combined number of weapons in service. makes sense when it comes to trying to tailor the individual and their capabilities. Pump shotguns or shotguns leaked out into every combat operation for the last hundred years, even though they were not standard initially. You always see images of them. Everybody's always impressed with them. Oh, it's a pump shotgun. Sawed off. It's a trench gun. But the weapon was not a standard that was created by the military. In each case they tried to walk away from the pump shotgun. It was the individual soldiers bringing the weapon back into service. Mom, send me my fill in the blank. And or go to Sears Robux and send me a Model 97. And when they got over there, oh look it's got a shorter barrel. And then the weapon, of course, it was obvious that it was successful, it was performing as expected. So the Donut of Destruction, or back then the War Department, caught on to the idea that it would probably be acceptable and useful to use that weapon as a standard arm. That's something that notoriously happened over and over again with different weapon systems that we have used over the decades, or even centuries. So, the Sling has its place in our situation away from the environment that we were talking about. The Sling still is a sensible solution. It allows for direct control while being able to be hands-free. I've noticed something. That's something I should mention, too. Moulding this over in the last couple of days and having different conversations I've noticed that the emphasis on the multi-point sling has kind of disappeared from the vocabulary and conversation. It's something that isn't really as talkative, you know, as talked about as it was when it was, you know, a unique big deal here a few years, well, more than a few years back now. It's either A, become part of the background or it's no longer a talking point and there's still, you know, there's again pluses and minuses, people have picked things up and dropped them. The dropping part is never talked much about. But the embracing of the idea always, of course, creates a stir and a lot of interesting conversation back and forth that you can sit around the fireplace and chew the proverbial fat over. Or at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee discussing what works, what doesn't like we're doing right now. Anyway, the big thing here again, if you don't know how to use a sling, we were talking about using a conventional sling for support of the rifle, you do need to research it because it is something you should know. You may not use it, it's just like bayonet. You may not use it, but then there may come a point where you have to. It wasn't by choice. It's just he just popped up in front of me and I was out of ammo And it would be so convenient to have something rather than harsh language in a club Sharp pointy pokey things do come in handy on occasion. Oh, I don't need a bad head. Okay, cool I do. I love the bad head. I think there's something about shouting the order fuuuuuucks my own ass and hearing that echo through the night Oh dudes, I don't care who you are. I don't care how Johnny jet-jock you can claim to be The idea that somebody gave that order you're gonna go. Yeah, he's stupid. Yeah, really. Do you have one? Are you ready for that? What does it conjure up in the way of mental images? None of them are good Hey Mark, it's John from Kentucky On my grand and in one a I always kept the swing on it, but I kept it very tight I shoved it out and that way it wouldn't catch on anything. You wouldn't carry it. You just, I kept it tight. Well, that's the same with the Springfield. The biggest problem you got with the M14 or the M16 obviously is the magazine well. But yeah, that's the big advantage of the Garand is it's a part of the contour of the weapon. Straight contour, straight slope. It's smooth. Yeah. And so there again. That is something needs to be addressed about the difference in the weapons because it is a significant issue. The Koran is not obsolete by any stretch of the imagination. You throw me a grand, I'll carry it all day. Today with it being an out six, it's actually a superiority weapon. I don't care what anybody says. You've got more more thud with every trigger pull and right now, well, actually the government's finally admitted they got to go up in order to do the job. That's why the 6.8 round is invented guys to try and mimic the odd six or the 308 no matter what they say That's a fact Amen. So the yeah, the garand is is a superiority weapon that is going to be with us for a very long time because we now had four resurrections of that rifle in my lifetime and We still have companies right now that will build you brand new grand parts. They're right built them. You can buy them. Go ahead jump in there This section Mexican hey an M1 Garand with eight rounds of clip full of AP is very much a superiority weapon, but I wanted to go back to the sling again You know that I know you're talking about it as far as if you're gonna shoot You know like any type of competition if you're gonna do long-range shooting the GI sling is probably the best but if If you're like I've done I do these running guns and so I've never been in the I've never served I've never been in war, you know like that, but you know, I've done these Competitions, you know, I'll do five to six miles Carry ammunition pistol pistol ammunition water and whatever else. I think I need And you know, these modern slings, the new modern slings that are quick adjusting, you can get the sling up and get it real tight to your body and you can move around. It's not gonna shake around on you. It's less likely to snag because there's nothing, you know, leaving a loop where something can get it. Now something can slip in between you and your sling, but it's gonna have to be pretty tight. But you can keep it tight, keep it from moving, and then when you need it, You just click pull and the Magpul one is a real good one and it's right off. Excellent. Well again, you brought up Magpul. Magpul has a lot, if it's a plastic product, Magpul makes it right now. I mean I'm pretty sure you could touch on pretty well anything you wanted in the system and it's there for the, it's there for the picking, especially a perishable like that. It's not a bad idea to look to see what they have in the catalog right now and see if something there makes sense for you. A lot of people, like you said, don't have as much time in the field or event. Again, it varies depending on what kind of mission, how are you planning on fighting this conflict or getting into it. See, we have mechanized infantry. We have airborne infantry. Not a big unit, but we do have airborne. And we've got many airborne qualified from the NBF War College. that have gone through our airborne school. Their equipment requires different configurations. And so that's another consideration we always have to be looking at is, you know, again, how are you going to use it? For some of you, you're going to be leg infantry area defense. You're not going to be doing a lot of movement around. You're not going to be leaving the area of operation. You don't intend to. In fact, you probably really just can't afford to. In other situations, we have units that plan on fully projecting their ability to fight for as far as they need to, and their equipment is tailored to the philosophy of the individuals that are the guiding members of the unit. So, here are these ideas. Understand that pretty much everything we're talking about is in service with the militia right now. Every one of these ideas. is in service and is being applied. And again, I'd rather have that. I don't need everybody on the same page and nobody needs to fight over these issues because the test is going to be in the up and coming conflict. Right now, there's a lot of different, you know, there's a lot of different ideas that are applied, which all of them still work. But you may need to change practice based upon environmental needs. What's happening in that situation that you're in with regard to equipment, how you move, what you move with. As I pointed out, mechanized infantry, they had to slick them up and basically they tried to lighten them up like airborne units years ago. In the 60s, that was the big thing. It's why, for instance, the Germans were making steel magazines You might notice that the G3, you have both aluminum or steel mags. The steel mags, because Germany was so poor, were actually a priority build for the infantry. And then when they came up with motorized infantry, or I should say mech infantry, and their air mobile became more significant, which you'll notice has kind of disappeared from all armies. Then they wanted to lighten every, lose every ounce that they could. You know, a bunch of magazines were an example of that. Also the webbing, strapping, configuration of the web gear itself to accommodate tight spaces and the type of work they were doing. And also the weapon that they were manning. Because remember, even the APC is a weapon system. And if it's an IFV, you might recall that for a while there, we actually thought we were going to be fighting out of the IFVs. That's why it's called an infantry fighting vehicle. These vehicles had firing ports and the tactical gear was configured to reflect supporting both the firing ports system with on the vehicle mags and of course being able to accommodate, you know, having more space inside and to move around. Things were taken off the weapons. Weapons were completely reconfigured. First they thought they were going to use the actual firearm that belonged to the infantryman in the fighting station. Then they came up with the little XM sub air M16 which had such a high cyclic rate that by the time you put a 30 round mag in it was gone. And so then all of a sudden somebody got the bright idea after we spent billions on a new vehicle because we needed the IFE weapon system. All of a sudden we took the weapons ports out. La, la, la. But all the equipment reflected the philosophy for that time. So we couldn't change that, but then we did. They started changing everything to alter to the attitude that, oh, now all of a sudden we don't need an infantry fighting vehicle. We just need a taxi cab on the battlefield again, okay? So this is one of the fascinating things about equipment weapons and everything else that also Changes up for some of the most bizarre reasons and petty reasons you can imagine Which is something you need to always think about why we get all the cool surplus stuff we get but then we reconfigure it to our needs And or we adapt because remember that the multi-point slings those those weren't built by the army where does come from anybody remember Ah, they aren't that old. These multi-point slings are an innovation that came in from the private sector and from military personnel who went to private entrepreneurs and they built them. And then they started, everybody saw that they were useful in the environment they were in. I mean, after all, desert warfare, there aren't a whole lot of triple canopy trees, brushes, and ganglia to get in your way. So, and again, nothing but sand down below. So what do you want to do in a sandy environment? You want to drop your weapon down there in the dirt? Ever? No. But do you want to especially drop it in a sandy environment and constantly? No. So having upper control or surface, you know, surface negative control of the weapon is a really good idea. And that's how this all came about. So again, remember constant change. Now they're getting ready to kill us in the United States. You'll notice there's a change up. In fact, for their plans for fighting in Ukraine, pretty much everything they're doing there is what they'll be doing to the American people and to the US when the time comes. So the kosher mafia is showing you their police communist communism reborn there. so that they can push their communism born or reborn here in America. We just need to be ready for it, ready to fight. So kick him in the ass, beat him down, don't let them ever get back up. When they try, just butcher them. Just all there is to it, butcher them. I don't even give them an opportunity. There's nothing to worry about about being fair in this battlefield, by the way, too. Always remember that. There's no fair. Go ahead, caller. This is Carl in Virginia. I just want to say that the three-point flame that was super popular, I guess during the height of the Iraq War, that also reflects a policy or mindset, if you want to use that term, during that conflict where everybody would walk around with their weapon at the low ready. Even if they were approaching a threat, they would do that, which is, in my mind, a bad policy. I know a lot of times, we'll... Well, we were joking. It's called muzzle dragging, okay? The muzzle draggers, kind of like knuckle draggers. And my problem with that is it was purely a matter of paranoia, and the Russians, most every other military, was laughing at us about it. Some people copied it because they came to our training environments But for the most part the idea of not have of constantly going to the low point Actually muzzle dragging because you're talking about literally putting them putting the weapon in the dirt for all practical purposes because no matter what you're gonna have that happen You did that in air you did that in aircraft like helicopters because there isn't as much vital below you as there is above you so the idea was muzzled down all the time, but The idea here was that apparently there is the possibility you could shoot a friendly. Well, yeah, but more likely you'd be worrying about being able to more rapidly respond to an aggressor in a multidimensional environment where it's three-dimensional for contact. It's not like you're just moving horizontally across the battlefield. So in reality, the... Go ahead. Go ahead. So if you have a hearing of the modified forward arms, You know, your muzzle's in the air and then you see a threat. Gravity helps to bring that muzzle on target. Now if you're at a low ready, you have to fight gravity. It doesn't make a big difference, but it can make a difference. The other thing is if you run toward cover and it's, let's say, a low rock wall or something, well, if you have your muzzle in the air, you just bring your muzzle on down versus having to bring it up before you get to that wall. It's a whole other thing. But it reflects the mindset of where the commanders were more concerned about one of their men having a brain fart and putting around into a buddy's foot. Well, rather than putting it around in his buddy's foot instead of the next time hit. But of course, if we're trained, like we should be, then that's really not the case. There is a different world yet again developing. Part of the sad problem is that wherever the next article comes from, that'll determine how excitable everybody is about the idea. Instead of the idea is a practical application. It doesn't make sense, it truly doesn't make sense. It's not relevant to amplify now, it's against us. Well, we're gonna go. God bless the Republic. We'll be back tomorrow at the same time of Edward taking over at Liberty Tree Radio Continues. God bless.
