He took off his three cornered hat, bought a revolution. We wrote the Constitution as sealed from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this the land, 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 is 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 seasonally farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God for freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Important is to register the background radiation, not just the idea that it's sunny and hot. More on that in a minute. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Carkey, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, northwest, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. We'll say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there no matter what body of water you're on. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 23rd of August. It is the 15th year of open obvious and pissing in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the Republic the dance of swords and so for spider recall Alexander pyramid and hi for all of our friends out there who are busy a couple of very special missions going on today, training operations. It's middle of the week, yeah, I know. We've got some interesting stuff going on. We're plugging in some of the other unique technology, similar to what the enemy has, but without all of the digital hassle. So this requires more time on the control stick, so to speak, and we're getting that done. Interestingly enough, this will be rolling over into the weekend. They're gonna get Thursday. Thursday and part of Friday off, but they'll be right back at work. Right now they're setting all of the equipment up at Camp Emmerich and also Camp Fox. So those two locations will be the bridges for the jumping of the technology. We're gonna teach people a few things about multi-controllers and how to make things work while they fly on their own or they roll on their own, depending on the situation. They do not require constant maintenance, is in control if you design them right. So again, we're going to demonstrate that. In fact, we have a wide array and a multiple number of systems that are going to be, or individual copies of the systems that are going to be deployed and employed this weekend. Actually being employed right now. It's Weapons Wednesday, CenterfireSystems.com, CenterfireSystems.com, CenterfireSystems.com. You might want to take a look at what they have for their deal of the day. It's only going to last a little bit longer. They have what appear to be their military or police trade in Glock double mag holster, double mag pouches, double mag retainers. Now these have flaps. They look to be more like what you would see on a typical police or M&P rig. for normal operations, no special tactical favor here. But again, they are a secure magpout system. It looks like it's a double pack for, I believe, now slap me the microphone if I'm wrong, but I believe $20 for two. They're again, take a look at them, they're not a super unique item, but they are again, it would look to be a well built solution for a lot of you that are stacking up the glocks. It's supposed to be for the Glock system. They've been stacking up glocks for quite some time. A lot of people have now, because they're the pass, they already stale, they don't work anymore, Glock 1's, Glock 2's, right? Yeah, there's police departments have been getting rid of them. A lot of people have been picking up as cop shop rollouts. And the neat thing is that you can usually get all the accoutrements and everything because when they buy a new gun, even if it's the same gun, they just buy all new everything else. If you're also on your tax dollars working at it, why not? So what's happening here... This is a pretty good collection of odds and ends other items you might want to go to Centerfiresystems.com Centerfiresystems.com Centerfiresystems.com when you get there Check out the again first of all right off the bat deals of the you know deal of the day There's a significant deal of the day going on right now. I think it's timed It's only got another hour and some odd or two hours. Whatever you check it out. You'll figure out But there are other things that they've gotten in in surplus in terms of mag pouches, utility pouches, and other support equipment. And so there are some goodbyes. They're also, they have had these, but they've got a, looks like a wider collection of Sega magazines marked down. Looks to be mostly five shot mags. They're just, you know, not short, they're just standard. The neat thing is the price is reasonable. They appear to be Sega factory. I do not know. They could be aftermarket. There was a ton of aftermarket Sega when the shotguns first came in. That's really what got them kicked off is people were able to actually make quick spare mags rather than just having a three-round mag. And the five-rounder was a logical first step and that's what happened. There are some 20 gauge Sega, 12 gauge Sega, and even some rifles, Sega rifle mags too, because some of the Sega rifles do actually have a unique proprietary magazine. The shotguns obviously do. But there are a few rifles like the 308s that they came in with. If you have one of those, you might want to check to see if any of the Sega 308 mags are there. Again, I don't know what the capacity is, but I did see them in passing. I noticed there was a whole slew of Sega mags listed and these look to be factory standard. So check them out. It wouldn't make it every... If they're cheap enough, I wouldn't care. Example, the Catamar magazines have been fairly cheap. They're smattered all over the system and they're only $3, $4 apiece for spare, you know, unforgivable Catamar. Catamar. catamount, 12 gauge sub-automatic shotguns, the AR-15M16 look-alike. And they are still hanging around out there. I know a couple people just picked up three of them for their 510 program. They grabbed them in a little clutch with a state sale that was not too far away, actually just a private sale. And again, I told them immediately, go over to gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com, apexgunparts.com, and Apex had a couple of the catamount mags for a pretty good price, but then again, so did, strangely enough, it was an odd man out thing. They had something similar in the clearance closeouts over at Gun Parts Corp. Now don't forget, that there's a whole bunch of the companies out there always looking their odds and ends, clearance and surplus items. Might be clearance, might be deals, might be close out because I've noticed that for a little bit that window of time several years ago when those types of shotguns came out before the Turkish guns came in, in force. The Catamount, for instance, and the Sega's were the go-to semi-automatic magazine-fed shotgun that was reasonably priced and then went through the roof cost-wise. So any spare mags are good mags. Well, it's only a three-round mag. Yeah, but you only have a three-round mag. So now you got two three-round mags. That's a good thing. Mag in, work the action, boom, boom, boom. Okay, do it again. Buy more mags. So again, if they're cheap like giveaway prices and there have been some giveaway prices You might want to check it out, but Centerfire has some interesting products in the inventory You want to peruse the whole page go through their surplus section, too There have been some large good sized items for bigger people. So that's another thing you want to keep an eye out for Just to be safe to make sure you can finish out your inventory You get what you need for what's coming next Let's see. Oh, AIM surplus. Yes. I had a couple people ask one couple them with a spike and two or three emails that was AIM surplus.com. It had the 38 Smith and Wesson ammo. I know I've mentioned it several times, but I didn't mention it this week. So I had to be echoes from somebody hearing the program over the last couple of weeks. That is over at AIM surplus.com. They have an excellent inventory of PPU. Now, there's something else they did get in. They have PPU 25 ACP, PPU 32 ACP, they have PPU 38 Smith and Wesson, and then there's a wide range of other chambering slash calibers covered. So you're going to want to go take a look through the scroll. There's too many for me to cover here on the air. Takes too much time. However, They also, as I told you before, but this week there are some interesting deals. They have some really good prices on Norma ammunition. And in fact, you should look at their Norma 45ACP and the Norma 9mm. Both of those they had marked down or basically they've become a little lesser expensive. Well, they're not really expensive because they're under $20 a box. And if you got a 45 or if you've got a 9 millimeter pistol of whatever type, there's a way to snag some more decent ammunition for a very reasonable price. And you can get out and do other things with the money you save, like buy other ammo or buy more of the same. So you wanna check that out. Norma, go over and search Norma ammunition over at aim surplus.com. Anyway, enough on that one. Hopefully it helps out because the 38 Smith and Wesson is still in stock. I looked at it last night and somebody else has got two or three of the top break Enfields, the pistols and we got them back when they were $60 apiece guys. There was tons of them that came in. They were Canadian and or English Surplus that ended up out on the market with the Red Revolution companies and they wanted to dump them which they did. and there was a window there where they were very, very reasonably priced. And do they work? Yep, work first time every time. They're definitely a good, they are a bang toy. Pop, pop, boom, boom. Of course most are double action only, don't forget that. They're not a double action slash, cock it, single action gun. No, no, no. This was a very different philosophy that the English had about handguns. And you need to read up on it just to help you to understand. But still good firearms plus there's a whole pile of the Smith and Wesson Victory Model 5 screws out there that take 38 Smith and Wesson. They're American K-frames. A bunch of them came in several years ago, back as far as two decades ago, from South America. We sent a lot of those south. They ended up as lend lease. We were picked up by, again, the Reddit Revolution companies who in turn sold them and then when they wanted to get rid of them, bought them back and now put them on the market here. and jack the price because, well, old Americana. That's why. Very well built. So you might have one or the other or something else in 38 Smith and Wesson. Don't forget you can build 38 Smith and Wesson from 38 special cases. That's not a problem. It's just the time it takes. If you're not familiar with the process, you cut down the brass, You size the brass, it'll stretch it out and open it up a little bit. Use a thermal lube on it to activate the metal. When you compress and you work the die, it creates calories. It helps transfer to the metal. It makes the metal malleable. Much easier to work, and the rest is history. But then you also have to shorten. You have to trim the case. to ensure that it's proper length. You want to spec that out. It may or may not have to grind very much, but on occasion you do because you've opened up the case, but you may have stretched out a little bit in the process. So a little extra work, which is why you can find it where it's already factory done. Saves you a lot of trouble. Now, once you get that pressed, yeah, reload that. Absolutely. I'd reload anything as I have to for any gun. Any weapon in the battlefield situation, every weapon has to have ammunition, needs to be ready to fight. Everything can contribute. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Hey, Mark, this is Irish Whiskey. I've actually got an old .38 Smith & Wesson. It's a H&R, Farrington Richardson revolver. And it's a frame, and it's seeing better days. And this past weekend at a gun show, I picked up a much better condition .38 Smith & Wesson cylinder complete with a much better condition barrel. And I'm just wondering, is there a good resource for the old H&R 38 Smith and Wesson revolvers to figure out how old my frame is as far as putting the Lego pieces together, so to speak? Oh, that's a good point. H&R, I was an H&R distributor. That was for the simplest of guns out there at the time, made along with Beretta and Smith and all the others. Well, I'd have to look at it. Typically, the big wave in production that we're probably seeing now came out of the 70s. That certainly means it could be an earlier firearm, could be an older firearm. But there was a big resurgence by H&R in the late 70s especially, and they reintroduced everything in their line. 22s top breaks, 22 side gates, 22 drop cylinders. They did a 22 Magnum, 22 long rifle combo that actually was an incredibly popular gun because it was cheap and they held up really well. Also, at that time, the gun that you have probably is it, no wait a minute, first of all, is it a six shot or a five? Actually, I'll have to go back and check. It's a top break. It's one of the old top breaks that you can lift up by the hammer. Right, exactly. Is it chromed or is it blued? Well, actually the frame itself that I have, it's in the 200,000 serial number and it is chromed and then the barrel assembly I have is actually glued. Right. That can be for a number of different reasons, not the least of which is remember, as I've said many times, a lot of us recromed guns back when we still had industry in the United States. We used to have three chroming plants. privately owned that we can take weapons, you know, weapons parts, everything we wanted. But even do a grant, we did a grant for one of the guys at GM and chromed the whole thing for him because it's what he wanted, except the parts that we should not chrome. But if you look at it, if it looks like it's scaled or chipped, it probably is one of the earlier, like you said, serial numbers, what we have to confirm, older firearms. I believe Wait a minute, you know what, who might actually have all of this now? Because, you know, Palmetto State Armory bought H&R. Did you know that? I've mentioned this on here because the latest AR-15, you know, the AR-15, ELA1, E1A1, that is being built, Palmetto is making it and it actually is stamped H&R. Of course, he also stamped it US property and they should not have, I would never have done that, but it was to create the complete image of the H&R M16A1 rifle. And if you look at their backstory, they bought H&R. Now when you buy the company, typically you get all the goodies. So what you might be able to do is go to Palmetto and ask them, did you acquire all of H&R or did you just require, did you acquire the name? I would assume they probably got everything because Remington, the Remington collection group that got beat down by Soros, that Soros set up, that Soros bought all those, and then he put them together and then he helped to create the lawsuit to knock them all down, including Remington. Well, H&R was sold back out and Palmetto bought it. and I would assume that they were collecting archival information and copyrights. You want all of that under your control if you're gonna control the name. Now maybe they just bought the marketing name, but that would be a place to go for the baseline information you need if you wanna find out more about the frame. Another thing is there are a couple of authors, but God, I'd have to go through my library and I'd have to dig out what I might be able to find on H&R. I have a few books I think that cover each and are extensively as far as man as a manufacturer and If I can find that then it should have the particular book I'm imagining not imagining, but I can image the images in my mind. Okay. I'm not crazy Is a book that was done on the guy did ten different manufacturers in each book that he produced He did American manufacturers and he did German or European manufacturers and he usually did 10 different manufacturers and incorporated not only the history of the firearms basically that they produced, but typically offered a lot of detailed information on serial number range. And it was basically very sought after series of books because it's great if you go to a gun show and you're trying to figure out what's this thing worth. And everybody would fight over them. The only thing that was as popular was the NRA's original gun bible, which is another great one because it does have a lot of information on H&R in it too. I haven't looked at the book for a couple of decades as far as the one, but I can visualize it because the one half covered Irma, H&K, all the regular suspects, Walter, and the American covered, you know, Iver Johnson, Springfield, not new Springfield, but old Springfield, and all of the other companies, you know, Browning, etc., and covered the most common guns and even identified the serial number range for the guns by models. So that, you know, you might even look online, there might be a couple of books on the subject that are available, and if you find one, I'd grab it. If you got the gun, usually it should have exploded diagrams. of the gun. Now I will point out another solution on that subject. If you need a breakdown image, go over to GunPartsCorp.com because that's Old Numeric Arms or Numerish Arms. If you want to be a certain other part of the German part of the people there, you know because they pronounce it differently. If you go to Numerish Arms and you peruse their electronic catalog, they have exploded diagrams of each of the guns posted as they do in the catalog. But the catalog is in hand and actually has a printout which they use as the reference for the gun parts inventory that they're offering. So you will get an exploded diagram and a certain amount of information there. That's another solution. And usually you can pull it off of the website. You should be able to see it, find it, and then if you can cut and paste, you can pull it down and actually save that anyway. It wouldn't hurt if you don't have anything. But otherwise, a four-inch barrel or a six-inch barrel? Four or five or six. I'll actually have to measure it because literally I had this the old frame that was minus the grip is it was just a frame and a Barrel and a cylinder, but it was missing the ejector had no trigger It was just an old frame that I literally had had for years and at this past weekend Another dealer was looking at it on the table and he was like hey I've got a good barrel and cylinder for that And so I picked up a much better condition barrel and cylinder for 40 bucks. And I picked up a box of 50, a box of 50, a 38 Smith & Wesson ammo, of course, for 45 bucks. So I've almost got a complete pistol and I was actually looking at as far as parts to complete it, that surprisingly, actually the few minor pieces I'm missing are actually available on eBay for a few dollars. Okay, because again, yeah, if you look around I would go to I'm seriously I would go over to Apex gun parts. Have you been there? I've not checked them out for that. No, I haven't okay They've been they've been doing more pistols and they've been doing they do have or did but somebody did come in and buy a bunch of stuff out But they had quite a collection of top break revolver parts including barrels, in fact they had kits from cut down guns, because you know how it is, they take everything and then you know, often they chop the frame up. So they had barrel cylinder, small parts, you know, everything there except the frame. But in addition to that, they do have a parts inventory and with that they have specifically a whole lot on H&R, I haven't looked that closely recently. But that would be another place to go. The thing here is, again, you want to watch internal wear and tear. You know what to look for. Oxidation is the first thing you want to fix and create. And correct. Number two is main spring, depending on which model it is. And remember, you have a couple of, well, you may have one coil spring. And again, look at those. If you can disassemble safely and knowing you can put it back together, which you should be able to. They're not that hard, really. You probably can find pretty much every part for it through all the major like Sarco Don't forget Sarco go through them Sarco has been around forever and they used to have tons of revolver parts And they do have an H&R section listed. I don't know what they have I would almost say that if you want to go that direction rather than go the internet But it's either way if you get the part you don't care For a reasonable price But the you might check circle you'll probably have to call them I would call them and tell them what you want and Then they'll go into their basement vaults and you hear the guy usually like when I've talked to him many times They transfer you over and there's you can hear the guy running around in the dungeon You know going through boxes of parts because they have everything you know just block inventory And, well, what does it look like? Well, what do you need? How old is it? What model? You know, meanwhile, you can hear him, you can almost visualize him looking at something in his hand. No, that's not it. You know, that kind of thing. So, Sarco is really cool to deal with, but you've got to be patient. That's the only thing. Okay, thank you. Yeah, no, it's a there are neat little pocket pistol in out here if it's the older one is probably a five-shot if it's the newer one it could be five or six and Again, they build a couple of unique guns that we're trying to compete and not so much create a Saturday night special gun, but a comfortable You know Plinker gun or a camp gun at the time in the 70s the big thing were camp guns for Alaska And so a lot of web, all the companies, Charter made their three inch bulldog for that purpose. Also for undercover work, that was the big brag or for bailiffs. Bailiffs really love the three inch hog leg, the three inch bulldog. The H&Rs were real popular in the 38 Smith and Wesson's. as a utility dresser drawer defense gun. You weren't going to blaze away a lot, but if you had to pull the trigger, it worked. And easy to understand, reliable. So they really sold well, all of H&R's products sold really well back through the 70s, but especially in the late 70s. and you couldn't get enough of them. Everybody saw them, their price was right. It was after the war, there was a bit of a depression, as far as cost goes, and the people wanted to shoot. And especially it was a go-to for, if you wanted a pistol, she could train a young person. And in fact, that's what a lot of people bought those 38 Smith & Wesson H&Rs for, the last generation. because the ammunition was cheap, you could reload it super cheap. It wasn't a dirty, hairy gun, so you weren't busting up anybody's wrists or anything like that. You didn't scare the person. So it was an introduction gun to graduate the person into the many other wondrous toys that were waiting for them out there. And the idea worked. I think it was a good solution. The other thing again, hey, a face full of .22 or a face full of .38 Smith and Wesson has a defense gun in a situation where your license state, I think it'll do just fine. It's like I wouldn't want to get shot with a magazine full of .25 ACP, you know, stuck in either my gut, my groin, or my face. And be quite honest, most of you are smart enough to know, since everybody's, you know, the bad guys are all wearing body armor, you're gonna aim for soft tissue areas where you're gonna do horrific damage, and you have to think that way. You want to do horrific damage so that you motivate your enemy to back off. Now, ideally, that may either give you a chance to fly or to do a better job of fighting. You know, getting closer, take his stuff, kill him off, find out who was with him and who sent him. Just that simple. Other thing about H&Rs, barrel changes, although yes, there are some tuned guns, most of them, several of the models were very, very user friendly for barrel changes and were took and embraced the standard pin thrust system rather than the thread. I don't know how many of those are left floating around. That was later generation H&R and I don't know what's, again, I don't know what's left in the system. Obviously H&R went the way of the dodo, dodo or dodo, take your pick. Is it a dodo? No, it's a dodo. But anyway, as I pointed out a moment ago, Palmetto State Armory has the H&R logo. and apparently owns the H&R name. And I would assume if they were smart, they took everything else H&R with them. At the very least, you remember, you can always sell designs. And there's always somebody looking for something to bring out that's unique. And H&R made a lot of very interesting sidebar firearms that are out of people's minds, so it's easy to bring them back in and for them to be a novelty. And they are user friendly firearms. They're user friendly, very simple. Kiss, keep it simple, stupid. By the way, if you do have the side gate or a top brake, the speed loaders will work. If you have the five shot, the little J frame, actually, look one step farther. If you go over to JGSales.com, JGSales.com, I believe they have in inventory the speed loaders that will work with the H&R top brakes. As I recall, they had them listed and if not, if you experiment, if you can go to like Cabela's or any of the big gun shops that you might have in the area, they have the speed loaders usually on the shelf. And what you can do is experiment, look to see what lines up with the particular gun you have. There's a lot of older firearms that are typically if they're revolver or five shot. and they're pocket pistols, that's what the term was, pocket pistol and they were very successful, very, very successful in terms of sales. Anyway, oh, we gotta do this right now. Edward should be sitting right there. It is Friday, or Friday, it's Wednesday, God, I don't wanna lose those. I must master my life! It's useless, without my useless. Shoot me before God! He may ride a goodly speed, he may know it's a turn of master. He'll forward much with speed, but he'll learn to back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts glad to make what little noise and always hits the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no strife. We need no graves at home, back across the grinding water And hitting must come like bullets to the slaughter But this way the job must do, and the sooner it is begun If Lyndon's figure holds a butt through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no true rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no true rifle I should have not said a word because worst day since yesterday. 18th regimental combat team, Colonial Marine. You guys are out there right now with this set up exercise in preparation for the weekend. So I want to say hi and thank you. The guys actually dropped off some other electronics and another couple of masks for our combo units today, earlier today, not here, but at the outpost, another location. And we want to say thank you and we appreciate the donation and the process. But for the 18th, RCT, 2nd and 3rd squadrons, they're going to be hosting part of the operation, the mobility section of what's going to happen this weekend with training. And it is hot out here right now. We have a lensing effect going on. You would think that it probably should rain. However, they are fiddle farting with the weather, which we know they are. That's not a problem. Roll with the punches. Today, you make sure you pre-hydrate. You make sure you drink water. I am dead cold serious because you will drop. It is warm. Here's the thing. It's warm and muggy in Michigan. We get hot every summer and I'm not panicking and so anybody who's a BS or trying to get you to panic about the weather turn around and slap them. It's summertime folks, okay? Popsicle, yeah, talking heads. But anyway, especially right now, normally we would be very hot non-stop and people would be lamenting because it would be so dry if you touch the grass, you kill it or it'd, you know, explode on fire. It's typically just as dry as dry can be during our August month. Well today is the 23rd. We got green outside. We have bean bushes that are just absolutely insane right now. In fact, farmers cannot complain in any way, shape or form. The corn is not only continuing to grow height-wise, but we've got extra years. We've got a whole extra, you know, element that is popping out of the husk, not out of the husk, but off the stock where, you know, we get a few extra, usually they start out as nibs and they never make it before harvest. But right now, we're looking pretty good. So again, green grass, you can go out there and roll around in it. You won't end up all covered in hay because it looks, that's what it looks like when it gets really dry, dead and brown. It's not getting brown. It's actually looking pretty good. So let's take advantage of that. Get out there while we can. I will say this though, because all this moisture we have, the mosquitoes are out there trying to, you know, make up for the season. Well, right now they got all the moisture they need to breed as much as possible. So if you're going to be out this weekend, if you're going out anywhere, take the Bugaboo juice with you because you will need it. Not a maybe kind of or sort of you will need it kind of like remember Yoda. Yeah, well you will Yeah, okay, whatever Yoda It is weapons Wednesday Magazines. I am looking for the best by Possible anywhere in the country for a 30 round air 15 mag. I don't care if it's metal I don't care if it's plastic don't care if it's steel don't care if it's aluminum Where is the best? absolute cheapest price for an AR-15 magazine in the system right now. We need everybody to pitch in. If you find something, chime in here on the program. And the reason is, again, everybody that's re-outfitting at Eat the Razor, it's the blades that they're putting new people online if they're trying to square people away, guys. you need quantities of magazines, not a few magazines. You need quantities of magazines. So let's make sure that everybody is properly squared away, make sure they have what they need to get the job done. And we can do this, we do have the resources at hand, all of you working together on this project. And the reason I'm looking for this is actually Battle Packs, Bundles, But for people who right now are putting together their first combat load or maybe backing it up or stuffing it the rest of the way where we finally, we've preached the idea of deeper larders, in other words, more material on hand, and people are listening. So let's try and make this the least wallet hurtful project we can for everybody. It's not that hard to do if everybody pitches in. So, oh my goodness. Well, that didn't work either. Another thing, too, before I forget, it is Weapons Wednesday, and of course, we still have an hour. Don't worry. We're not going anywhere for a bit. Hour plus, actually. But Craig from Forbid Knowledge members on Wednesdays. But I want to mention now, just in case for some of you who have been leaving and you didn't know, we have a lot of new listeners. A lot of them have been talking to me off the air. Craig is another live program on Liberty Tree Radio, Forbidden Knowledge. It's on every Wednesday. It's on between 7 and 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time between the Intel Report, 2-hour block, and our last hour of the day. And for anybody who wonders, well, why don't you do 3 hours behind one behind each other? This is kind of a holdover. From a combination of different issues, not the least of which was our helping out with other people, but the other thing about the 8 o'clock to 9, the reason we keep it where we do, is that we are waiting for shortwave. I was thinking this last month we might get it. Somebody else decided at the last minute their sponsors came up with the money to keep the hour that they had, but I'm going to try and lean on them this week. Well, actually tomorrow about getting a confirmation for any frequency that we can attach to because we do need shortwave up again and it's something that we can do, but it would be the 8 o'clock hour. I wouldn't do it earlier. I'd be doing the 8 o'clock or even into the evening. Everybody's asked, could you do another hour of radio? I don't want to do four hours. It's a lot of work to do three hours. You can't have dead air. Number one, you have to keep the airwaves rattling. But in addition to that, there's a lot of things we have to follow up on. There's always stuff pulling me sideways. Even when we do the program here, we have people contacting us about issues, things that are happening right now. Sometimes we can put them off or Nancy does, she can deal with part of it. There's so much that's happening. We can't talk about on the air. It's just not gonna work Not yet. Now eventually it's inevitable that we're just stuff's gonna bleed out onto the streets. Ooh, pardon the pun there. No, it's not but Because of that everybody needs to be ready for you know ready to deal with a problem when it does arise and that means Square yourself away, make sure you have your 510 program set up if you're planning on expanding. And if you're a regular organized militia formation, you need to have 510 operations up because the supply system very quickly is going to break down. You will not have any recourse but to pull off existing inventory or scavenge. And we're gonna try to make this a much more intelligent game across the board, we have been. And part of that is making sure you understand the logistics and the requirements, what's needed to get the job done. So again, we'll probably do a separate, somebody asked me the other day too as an email, and that would be Steve, can you explain a 5.10 program again? We'll probably take one hour, hell we might do it tonight. I mean, I'll tell you what, let's see if we can do part of it. A 5-10, it's just a quick breakdown. It's not hard to understand. But a 5-10 program, 10-20 minutes, it's straightforward. The big thing here again is it does not have to be cutting edge state of the art. In fact, some of the stuff that's state of the art, it doesn't really apply to our mission. It doesn't apply to the task because of how we operate and what certain units or formations do. So a lot of the stuff that's out there, we can use older equipment simply because it actually makes more sense, in many cases better built. In terms of utility gear, pouches, technologies that are supporting your weapon systems, we have different philosophies, very different philosophies. Whatever anybody else chooses to do, hey, that's your thing. Do it. Show that you're the better choice. by performance when the time comes. Because this battlefield in America is going to be very, very unique and very bad to say the least. It's going to have a lot of problems that people don't necessarily want to face right away that are going to have to be dealt with and you're going to have to wrap your brain around them. Again, medical support and logistics are especially critical right now. So, again, the 5K program, we'll touch on that during 8 o'clock hour. Craig from Vermit Knowledge is up from the 7 to 8 o'clock window, Eastern Standard Time, and hopefully, cross our fingers, the Intel report, 8 o'clock to 9 o'clock hour, will be up on shortwave. And the moment that I have a confirmation on that, we're going to start putting it out everywhere. We'll have it in the... scroll with the link for the page. We'll make sure that we post it in every public location. We'll be sending it out as emails. And people need to start tuning in right away because we also want to get a footprint of how our signal is working. And the best way to do that is with the listenership we have now that can pitch in to go over to shortwave because you know we're doing it. And you guys can give us a thumbs up on how are we being received. And we've always done this on the air. We've done this with shortwave for as long as we've ever been up and whatever we've been on shortwave. But the situation right now is such that we need to get into as many venues as we can. We've got everything set up here so we could do podcasting. We've got two different studio arrangements. In fact, what I think we're, here's what I'm thinking of doing. We're gonna take and use the original LTR studio randomly along with the new one that's set up. along with, you know, again, I'm used to doing things in the field and having everything portable. And I picked up, I've got a new condenser mic package here that's a commercial, booms, stands, portable desks, portable tables, so to speak, all free. Got most of them for free. The microphones and the little mixing boards and the other stuff are brand new. But the idea behind this is that we can co-feed and go right through, Ed. or we can do it independently as needed, but one way or another, through some of the other social media, we've had several people that are trying to set up so that we could do podcasts also. Ideally we do it with the two-hour block or the one-hour block. But if we have to do a fourth, again, if I do a fourth, it would almost have to be like after the eight to nine window. And we might do that if we had to do shortwave. That way, if we had to take an hour later, that's the only consideration. But that's a lot more work. Every hour takes a lot more time than you can imagine. And again, it's time out of the day. Everybody only gets the same 24 hours. I only get 24, although I used all 27. But we only get 24, so we gotta work that accordingly. Also, in response, oh, we did not forget you. For our friends listening, expect a call from Dave Stone. You were asking to connect. Don't forget, we didn't forget you. Don't forget there's a million things going on. We got a bunch of stuff going on from behind the scenes in the politics of Michigan. There were people right now, the big thing that they're asking for is legal, not money. We don't need money. We've got so many people that are legal, commercial legal. individuals, lawyers that have stepped forward that will do all the work for free to go after the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and the Attorney General. And right now they're in planning sessions for execution of paperwork, in other words for serving. And it's multiple, there are multiple venues. They have an alternative, they have a couple different options as far as how they can go with this. They're not going to sue them. They're going to charge them. And it's all under Michigan State law, but it also can overlap into federal law very quickly as far as federal code because of their lack of consistency with the policies of the Republic of the United States, per the Constitution Bill of Rights. So this is going to be very interesting and I don't know again how soon. I know that they already have filed certain papers. And the alliance that's in place from the Upper Peninsula, the biggest setback has been that distance. Other than that, it's getting everything to those people in a secured but timely fashion. because the farther away you are from the epicenter of the event, which is mostly in the southern, you know, the bottom of the state of Michigan itself, the lower peninsula. When I say bottom, I'm not talking of very bottom down by Ohio. I'm talking, remember, we've got an upper and lower peninsula. The upper peninsula creates a lot of logistic issues, e.g. for the bureaucracy. And they are trying to maintain operational security so that when they do move on this, it's It's very dynamic, everybody understands. And it involves sheriffs, it's involving elements of the bureaucracy itself. Remember the courts, and needless to say, people who were working in law. Well, I can't say anymore, but it's been hammering everybody's time. I've argued, on that note, I've argued for mobile administrative sites. I built them in the Mobile administrative support pods. We did this all over the state for certain people doing legal work. Spent a lot of time doing it. But this included mobile offices. And the idea behind this is that when a person is doing pro se or pro per work, and other individuals are trying to participate, catch up and do their own thing. that we would be able to roll in the experienced individuals who have one case after case after case and Everything they would need would be on board the transport the van or the you know camper or whatever Typically, what I used were vans. We built several of them and they had onboard copy machines, onboard computers, onboard typewriters. Typewriters, yeah, because typewriters are especially useful for all of the legal work. A Corona Mark III, very popular. Smith Corona, there were a number of different machines I was able to access in vast quantities. So not only would the office be mobile, but if you went to a location, for instance, in Milan, Michigan, that's one that I built years ago, you go into the office, everything that's in the mobile unit, everything that's at the other 10, 20 locations that we built up progressively, each office was identical. Same gateway computer systems, same typewriters with all the different font heads, reams of paper in all types and categories as needed for legal process, administrative and mail service operation right there so everything can be properly scaled, everything could be properly formed, and then you just go to the post office, you're ready to roll, takes only a few moments, minimize to maximize. And this worked exceptionally well. But the problem is people picking up the baton and carrying it on. And people notoriously get lazy. I'm not frustrated, but I just am telling you, don't be surprised. Because we've seen this over and over again. We've gotten into this kind of fight. Everybody's got motivated. Take what you can with the people who will become the harmed, hard chargers and other people who are motivated and get their fire ass out there and get them on the job. And in the process what happens is we end up accomplishing great things. However, do not become frustrated when some of these people stumble or again, they talk themselves into a panic and they fall to the wayside. But the problem is that again, this is why you constantly have to be recruiting personnel and individuals who are in particular niches. And administrative support, we try to minimize, but if you're fighting the legal battle, or if you're fighting the administrative and legal battle, not just because somebody wants to be in court to change the law, but because your enemy will do just like you see with Donald Trump. Do you think, this is the thing that gets me about this. You know what the difference between Donald Trump and the attack on all the rest of the Patriot movement is? has been for 30 years of court battles and whatever is you're seeing it publicly. There isn't a damn thing that they're doing to Trump that we haven't seen in every state of the union by these pigs in law operations people. Lies, cheats, steals, fabrications, all of the above. Omission, all of the above. They'll follow proper and proper procedure and policy. Absolutely, over and over again. Oh my God, they're doing it to Donald Trump. Oh my God, I can think of a thousand people they've done it in my lifetime too, just in the state of Michigan. Oh my God, but it was okay when they were doing it to us, or to the peon, so to speak. But the thing is, is that the feeding frenzy of the insane has now boiled out onto the street. and the level of obvious malfeasance, wickedness, the evil nature of the creature. Well, you got a personality here that they like and everybody can do the Rah Rah tailgate football party thing with. So now everybody is outraged, but there isn't anything that they're doing that we have not seen. Not one thing. The only difference is that they've done it to what is a position or posting that is theirs. You know, the presidency, the whole bureaucracy around the administration to create this special protection, you know, this immunity. Well, they are laying a precedent, which is what everybody is talking about. That's the only thing that Republicans are pissed at about. Some of them, not most of them. Most of them will do whatever the ring knocking buddy of Puba, Grand Puba tells them to do. But what's different is that this means that if need be, somebody could use this again from the other side and the Republicans aren't that motivated. They'll cruise along, give you lip service, and then fail. And if it looks like a real fight, disappear. Looks like it becomes a real F-I-G-H-T. You won't be able to find them. Don't worry, we've seen this before. And then we've seen this before. And then we've seen this before. You use the resources at hand, let them go as far as they can. Those that fall will not be a surprise to you because I'm prepping you for it. But the resource, the time and the abilities that they have, they lift the burden of the same amount of time off of other people that can then accomplish other tasks. When they do disappear or defecate their spine out their mung hole and slither away like a jellyfish, they will still have accomplished something right up until that point because they created the mass that was necessary to create the illusion that somehow we were really really really worried about the paper pushing aspect of the battle. When in reality it's just part of the fight and when the time comes it's actually as much as anything knowing that the enemy will do just like they've done with Trump. They ignore all rules, they throw everything out the window and there's flat out gonna lie and then they'll just try to kangaroo court ya. They're losers. They're just absolute gangbuster losers right now who are yapping about well, you know Donald Trump could be in prison and and all we know well, you know people will still supporting but he'll be in prison and you know like the Secret Service and have to clean out the jail. I was listening a couple of that Yeah, I agree because you know, Bongino Francis was talking about this They don't have to clear out the prison block cuz you know, he's the president. Hey even though he's arrested They have control. They have the supremacy clause. Well, it's the idea that we let them do that to a person at all that's the problem. And to be quite honest, their sorry ass needs to be shot for that all by itself. But we're not talking riot. Now here's the thing. There's a whole bunch of individuals that are making noise that would say that you get there in protest and then by the way, we need to get aggressive. No, we don't. Why? You're not willing to fight to prevent a beam, right? Wait, you're not probably a doubt. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, We'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 land and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken some, you've traded in your native. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors. So their children 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? This is the second hour of the afternoon. Intelligence report, I'm our cranky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West, South, Southeast, and North. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. and we're on satellite. Once they hide all our merchant raid operators out there, no matter where you are on the planet, whatever body of water you're resting on right now or near, we're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Wednesday. It's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 23rd of August. It is the 15th year of Open Alleus, an in-your-face Fabian, a socialist, and Soviet socialist occupation. America with a K2023 battle for the Republic the dance of swords and I was mentioning air 15 mags well you don't care if they're metal or plastic or aluminum or steel I mean either way nope not at all not really I think I've probably got so many thousands of mags tucked away in places too numerous to mention having made deals at different times that yeah we've bought mags for as little as a few pennies apiece 25 cents, 35 cents, 65 cents. So when I told people to do it, especially like the, remember the plastic 20 round mags, we were, they were there forever. I mean, literally there forever for 60 cents a piece. I've got thousands, thousands and thousands, because for 60 cents a piece, every time I could scrape some money together, guess what? One of the side buying projects was to buy a case of those mags for 60 cents a piece. And again, they're still out there, but now they're $6, by the way. Same mag, so again, wait a minute, that's like 10 times as much. Yes, yes it is, isn't it? So instead of 60 cents a piece, same magazine is now $6 and I think 25 cents a piece. Simple mag, 20 rounder, easy, but also plastic, but guess what? It fits everywhere. Drop them in every pocket and every pouch anywhere you want to to have spare mags. Put them in every pocket in your coat, nobody even knows you've got the mags on board. Put them in every pants pocket, in your shirt pocket, etc. Wow, you've got 20 round mags everywhere. Pop, pop, boom, boom. Your pew, pew, pew. So again, this is what we're looking for. I love PMags, don't make a mistake about that. PMags are great. Hex mags work really well. There's a dozen different companies out there that have even more intricate names and exotic prices beyond anything that I would spend. But if that's your belief system, you know what, congratulations, you're doing it right. But most of us can't. So we're looking for the most cost efficient. And remember again, if they're not really great mags, in other words, well, they're good for a while, but they'll probably break down. Those are the mags that go into your reserve for, again, your 5.10. but also for your breakout kits. You're probably gonna, any magnets in a breakout or in a breakout kit is gonna be dropped. You're not going to save it. You might, if you have a little lull in something, but initially in a breakout operation, it's one of those, saturate the battlefield with buzzing bees. And so you burn a magazine out, drop it, and you have lots and lots and lots of these mags in a dump bag. or a regular shoulder bag and all I do is insert it in the magazine well work the system fire the rounds drop the mag don't pick it up. There's a lot of really decent polymer mags that have been available that aren't really fancy they will work for many times but then they will start to wear. Well I'm not going to use them many times if I know that certain mags are not as reliable for long the long haul Those mags are Garrison mags or they are breakout mags because I won't cry about dropping a two or three dollar or a 60 cent magazine on the ground and losing it. Now I'm going to try not to do that whenever I can because I need to conserve all the energy that I've collected and everything that we've purchased is energy. All of it is energy. It costs energy to acquire it. This is why I could never understand people being crazy. and getting rid of their CD collections or their DVD collections. And then turn around and pay for, you know, Nutflix, you know, take your pick of whatever queer operation is presently running in, you know, in computer land, and pay for what you already had on the shelf and you paid, you know, $15, $20, $25 a disc. I have whole collections here with the price tags on them still. So if people paid $24 for a disc and then send it out the back door or throw it away or I mean brand new in some cases I've got several I've been watching recently just because we go through one movie a night usually for something to do while we're busy end of the day, you know tallying everything up or going over detailed projects where you can sit down and work on it and you got something for background and In many cases, I'm opening up first time never never used DVDs or VHS tapes and the price tags on there somebody paid 16, 25, 24, or $30 especially you know $40, $50. Spend them they throw it away. But then the turnaround they start spending their energy buying what they already owned physically. Kind of strange don't you think? How do we get people into that idea? Where did that come from? That's just, again, a waste. And I would recommend if you have CDs or VHS tapes or DVDs, you better get them organized and together and secure them better to keep them clean, dry, and ready for perhaps use. And there are two reasons for this. Well, this is Weapons Wednesday. Why am I talking about this? Well, because in the future, unlike today where you're saturated and you can chow down on a nonstop binge of however many episodes in a row of something that was a television series or whatever. Everybody talks about losing power. Everybody talks about being bereft of all of the entities that we're talking about that everybody's become so grossly addicted to. I don't care if you're playing video games, you need to be ready to have an alternative. And some of the older stuff is kind of nice to have in a library hanging around if you need that to keep yourself satisfied. But entertainment, it used to be like on television, you had all these little television series, Car 54, Where Are You, the Green Hornet, Take Your Pick, let's go through a million of them, you can rattle off. Family ties, et cetera, et cetera. Okay, those were all popcorn. And then on the weekend, it used to be, when I was growing up, there was the movie night. Now, why don't you start thinking ahead, because we lose the technology, we lose the economic edge. Whatever you have in hand is all you have. I say board games. Lots of board games, but you know some people are you know again? That's gonna That'll keep you busy for a bit, but you shouldn't also be wasting all your time on that either just as you shouldn't be with regard to thinking you're gonna plug in after the you know the bombs fly I'm just gonna watch TV and lose myself, and I love Lucy or Whatever might float your boat you plug into the machine now can't do that but we need to create benchmark events and entertainment creates a benchmark event. We're going to do like an uneven movie or we're going to do a weekend movie. It's going to be on Friday or Saturday. Take your pick. But that's the day where we're going to put it up on either the big screen, we have a couple big screens, or put it plug it into the TV. We're going to spend the money or spend the resource which is generator time or battery time. We're going to run the equipment for the length of the program and as soon as it's done, we're going to shut it off. You don't go through the credits, you save every speck of energy you got, but you got a chance to lose yourself for a bit. Okay? This is another reason I collect DVDs and why I collect VHS collections. Somebody else did most of the work for me. The other thing is I've told you many times, we're looking at a war. Have you ever been an invalid in a bed? Today you have conveniently, you have flat screen TVs in most hospital rooms. That didn't happen in the past. In fact, being in the hospital was very, very tedious and I don't know how much, I mean if they could keep you doped up so you were drugged down, you know, doped up as in, oh, something in the way of a painkiller or something, make you sleep. Whatever they did there was to reduce the amount of conscious acknowledgment time staring at the walls because there weren't TVs in the hospital rooms years ago. And in an energy deprived situation and in a progressively deprived environment, if you have anything that can be used to free up time, you know, to break a person away from where they're stuck, and be able to give them some kind of escapism, it is very useful. It can be music, it can be, like I have two cases of storybooks on DVD, or forgive me, on CD. And then I've got another box on cassette. Takes a lot more cassettes to cover a book, but guess what, they were free. What do I have there? An audio library if somebody can't read. Now if you haven't been listening to this program for the last 30 years, you know I'm a bookworm. So anytime I find something like this, I consider the CD collection just like another extension of a book collection. Or the VHS tape is nothing more than another extension of a book collection. In each case, it's what? Telling a story. Now some of them are pretty crappy stories and some of them have an opportunity. You know what I say? I take all the VHS tapes in a collection. But that doesn't mean I keep them. There's a bunch that are in boxes that are for electronic countermeasures. The electronic tape is useful for a lot of things other than just being a VHS tape, which is the other reason I recommend that you right now just not get rid of anything like that. First of all, keep it ready to be used. Go find a VHS machine if you don't have one. Get another one go to the resale shops. You can get VHS machines all day fact you go to yard sales Half the time I get them for free because they're out by the road just like cassette players What do I do with the cassette players? Well, I just told you have our library collection So in the box that I have which is a tote I have three cassette players that are mobile I have power supplies I have battery packs in their batteries and plastic bags like I've described and I have earbuds I have boxes and boxes of earbuds. So you have your set of earbuds. Frank can have his set. Now down the road, people will lose them. So we may end up having to share earbuds or earphones. Wow, well earbuds, yeah, earwax, yeah. Yeah, that's why it'd be a good idea to invest in having some of this stuff on the shelf so you don't have to share. But we may have to down the road. And that's why every set of headset I can find, I grab. What do I do? Zip lock bag it. I got a whole box here of headsets. Some of them as nice as the one I'm using for the program here right now, but not quite as nice. Or in many cases, they're simply, they don't have the boom mic, they're just for listening. And all of those would be useful. A person who's in pain that you're trying to at least alleviate, try to comfort them, alleviate them from that pain. These are things you can do. Do I have books? I have books. I have canned books. I have taken five gallon buckets and filled them with paperback books of a mixed variety. Now somebody's gonna open up a book and say, oh, I'm not gonna read a love novel. Have you ever been locked up for 24 hours, seven days a week, 365 days times seven? Have you ever been in a place where, no, you don't have a TV. You have a place to lay down, you have a toilet, you have a sink, and you have to create ways to consume the time, the 24 hours in the day that you have. Reading is the first solution. And so when the book cart comes around and you have a bunch of people with shoe size IQs, half of them, that are real criminals, then they damage books. You have to get used to the idea that you might read a book and never finish it until you find another copy a year down the road. What? Yeah, because some fool got pissed at, you know, somebody or saw something in the book they wanted to tear out. So they tear out sections of the book that are in the library. So you read a book and you lose a whole part of it because it's gone. But you know what? You read through it. Or you read up to the end because you realize it looks like the last section of the book was pulled out. Why? Because it's all you've got. We can do better than that. We need to be ready to do better. We got the thinkers. The other side has the ass hat thinkers. Okay? So audio, visual, one of the other things you can watch for and get for cheap right now, I've noticed that they're popping out everywhere for a couple dollars at yard sales, are car TVs. You know, remember little kits where you have a common player and there's like two separate screens that you hook up to the back of the seat in front of you, kind of like on an airplane. And they have their own umbilical cords. They got a power supply plug, the whole nine yards, and all you do is just grab the whole battle pack, put it all together with some discs, and wow. You got a 12 volt system that can be used to keep a few people busy. I would say that you share the screen won't just be hogging it for yourself, but maybe you are alone What's the other place where we use these libraries safe houses? Underground safe houses you're gonna be in a secure site. Everything will be provided. There's games. There's books. There's music. There's all kinds of fantastic stuff. You're not leaving. The time that you're in one of our safe houses, you don't go outside for anything. You don't leave anywhere. This is some bullshit movie where I just got to go out to the store and then you bullshit or goes out to the store and uses the phone and oh wow, I didn't know how they found us. I don't know why I was compromised. No, no, there are rules that are set. And for the time that you will be there, you don't know where you are because you were brought in under safe conditions, but you are dropped off, you are taken to the secure point, you stay in the secure point, typically again underground, but they're really nice complexes, little arrangements. But everything you need is right there. And if I can add more to the ones that I help out with, they're even more intricate. They have games, puzzles, they have books, there's all kinds of little electronic widgets. Stuff to make you think stuff to keep you busy Now if you're not adult enough to use all the tools at your disposal there's something wrong with your head And I will point that out to people I've had people Well again, and this is part of the whole process you have to think ahead And if there's anything that was missing food something that you want to drink that will all be taken care of You're not in a prison But you're in a situation where the people who they're helping you are risking everything that they have. This is why a minimal number of people take contact with the individual when they're in the safe house, only one person is the contact. And typically that person is what we call the mobility contact. They will be moving with the person as they're transient to different locations. Okay, but otherwise nobody else makes contact. You don't need to talk to anybody. Oh my god I can't handle this. I need to talk to other people. You got plenty of things to do here. Man up or woman up, cough and find your body parts, get your act together and deal with the time that you have here. You need some help with that? I'll help you out. I can explain to you how to get into a routine. How you allocate your time. Or that's how you that's how you deal with the prison problem being behind the wire the same way you create your own routine the system wants to Manipulate you to a degree, but it can only do so much and mostly it just wants to shelve you and warehouse you Now whether or not you get into trouble or stupid don't think don't know how to pay attention And it's up to you. Do we have a caller jump in there, please? I shall be from Macomb Good. You know I'm in about the games and stuff. You know, obviously you got your most people more games and stuff you get at Walmart or whatever everybody knows about. But check out your gaming stores that do miniatures like war gaming. Like instance here, we got a game store called game HQ. They have used games, war games, the old style war games where you have a map and little tokens to represent units and stuff like that. They've even got just other unique war games that you won't find at Walmart or any general store and stuff like that. So they have more interesting games and stuff that you could check out or maybe some stores even have free games like in their game room that you can play it for free. So maybe they might have that same game so you can try it out or play it or even do some research and figure out if it's a really good game and figure out what it is. You know, it might be more fun to play, but they do have lots of different interesting games and even use games that you can buy on the cheap that people have traded in or whatnot. Also, Mark, SecurityGuy42 did a video on recreation games and stuff like that. He did a video talking about, you know, if you're out on patrol, it was a while back, it was several months ago. So let's go back to the archive there and find it. I believe it was earlier this year. It may have been this time last year, I can't remember. But he did a... along the same lines you were talking about, but also if you're on a patrol like having a pack of cards or... yep! Also something that's simple like a roll up, like a cloth checker table where you can roll it up, it's just cloth and then maybe you have the little tokens for... Things and then maybe you can have little tokens that represent either checkers or they can also be used for chess and you don't have a big piece So you have a miniature game that you can roll up and put in your backpack to take with you on patrol Of course also you've mentioned in the past finding a little travel Magnetic games at truck stops. I don't know if they're still available out there. You may have to check eBay or online But I remember those games where you would have one specific game. There were some that were like multi-games with that little rollable sheet that would move across. So you would just switch the game and then you'd have your little tokens to play the other game and stuff like that. It had like four or five games in one. But it was a travel size, you know, pretty good size to pack up and stuff. Also playing cards, they do make waterproof playing cards. I've seen them. If you just look up waterproof regular playing cards. They're made out of plastic, so if you were out in the field or something like that, they would last much longer, at least for weather conditions and stuff. You don't have to worry about them getting wet and whatnot. Now, obviously, wear and tear and use, eventually they'll wear down. But at least for water resistance, they're not going to get damaged by water exposed to the weather elements. And that's all I have to say. Well, real quick, the car games are all over the place. If you watch resale stores, resale shops, always like the church sales, church stores, they're careful about what they usually put out there. It's not going to be anything risque, so it's going to be, you know, kitty games, stuff like that pops in there. But a lot of other stuff does too, like you said. You can be more sophisticated. One of the things to wonder about, why are we bringing this up? Well, historically, let me point something out to you. Have you ever watched any of the training videos for Civil Defense? Guys, they were planning on you, and right now they're talking about it again, that, well, you're going to have to go down into a bomb shelter for two weeks. Have you spent a day in an area the size of a bomb shelter? Maybe the same, maybe it's a big one. Now, they did training videos, training movies in black and white for Civil Defense operators talking about all the issues that would develop having two or three or five hundred or maybe a thousand people in a bomb shelter area underground and why Civil Defense management is critical and I understand it. But the first thing is they had, for instance, a video on helping to deal with people fighting over the checkerboard. Because there's only so many checker boards and Wilma is already, you know, Kerry, crazy Karen is, forgive me if your Karen name is Karen. I know, but we're gonna use crazy Karen. Crazy Karen is outraged because she thought she deserved the checker board and you did not. And so how do we deal with keeping crazy Karen from creating a riot in a bill, a room that houses 500 people? underground, okay? And so these are how you have to make sure you set up schedules and sign out the stuff like you're at the YMCA. Now I do believe that that is a very good idea. But my problem is, and like you said, you know, a moment ago here like roll up games, why should I have a handful of games for 500 people? Because you know, if you ever open up these trunks, the gaming unit only had so many sets and pieces of. Well, I jammed that son of a bitch solid with as much of whatever I could, like we said, playing cards. Why? It wouldn't make any difference what grade they were. People would use them simply because the angst thing that comes along with being in that situation, people are looking for distractions. And the best way you can do that is to provide more. So, thinking ahead, rather than having one of this and one of that, it'd be a real good idea to have a nice little trunk or a barrel. Right now, today, for instance, I was doing this today, I have a one, actually it's a bigger but thinner barrel. It's a 60 gallon straight tube barrel. I've lined it with plastic and I've been taking all the games and card decks and radios, the regular AM and FM radios, bagging the radios up, making sure they don't have any batteries in them. Remember I told you about this over and over again, make sure there's no batteries in anything people. The batteries are killers, but that's another reason I bag them. If something happened, the radio itself can't damage anything else that's in storage. However, these are small radios, everything from transistor to old tubes, sometimes civil defense type, I got three or four of those this month. the radios, the card games, the board games, anything. In fact, even I watch for every little kitty toy that people are throwing away. Go to the freebie boxes. What do you do with those? Oh, I take another big Ziploc bag and I fill it full of all these stupid little kitty toys. There's a little, like today, I got a bag about the size of three fists. of stuff I gotta put away. I'm just gonna put in the barrel for now. I can sort it later. And I'll probably, I'll just sort it. I'll let somebody else do it who's gonna manage it. But it was little doll clothes, little construction workers, bunch of little barrels, a little tobacco, a couple of firetrucks, and a bunch of other stupid stuff. And often ends oblique items that are all toys. What's that for? Keeping the kids busy. What are they gonna do? They're gonna sort it out, not me. It's their job. Kids are creative. People are adults are the ones who have problems mostly. You give the kids a resource, the kids will run with the ball. So again, the idea is to put this stuff in some form of order. Doesn't have to be too sophisticated, but it will get the job done. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We have the supposedly we have the thinkers. So we better be on cue and square the way to get the job done. And this is simple. The other thing I have another barrel, by the way, going is cookware. I've been flush in amounts of basic, bigger kitchenware. What's it for? Field kitchen. Or another kitchen to build up. You've got a bunch of people to feed. This is all industrial, or not all, but it's bigger items. It would normally be for family gatherings and such. strainers, pots, pans, crock pots, skillets, lids, salt and pepper shakers, spatulas, knives. I got a whole case of knives about the size of a milk crate. They went in the bottom and they've already been oiled, they've already been bagged, they've already been tagged. And in addition to that, all the other items go on top. In addition to Corel plates Corel cups. I've told you about collecting Corel. This is a great way to store it and if I need it for future profiteering Fantastic, but otherwise it's also great for exactly what it's going to be used for intended to be used for its kitchen kitchenware Bunch of you guys plop your ass down in their location. I've got maybe an extra platoon or an extra company here Everything we need is in there now. We'll get you food. We got reserved food But here you're going to set up your own kitchen operation here because you're going to feed your own people. Congratulations. Is it the top end of everything? Nope, not at all. Not even close. Is it all serviceable? Oh, most of it's an excellent, I won't say it's not serviceable, it's very excellent, excellent material, excellent equipment. Didn't cost me anything, got it for free. I am flush in material like that. But the idea is to just macro motion rather than micro motion. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. I would recommend that people learn some recipes that have to do with rice and beans and textured soy protein. That's about what we've got stocked up beyond the clouds. And it's our handout food. But by golly, you better figure out some way to make it palatable. Of course, unless you're hungry, in which case you don't care what it tastes like. Stick to me. After a while, you'll figure that what I just said, oh, trust me. And again, this is one of the things where nothing is gonna last forever anyway. Even what we're doing when we're talking about here, this is a bridge. The bad guys are gonna be trying to destroy everything we have. If you think I have some kind of illusion, why do you think I'm collecting used stuff? I'm not going out and buying brand new. You can buy brand new. Like Shelby was just talking about, there's some excellent solutions. But I also need mass and because we need mass I'm looking at you know my mental inventory is in kitchenware anything and everything that is designed for Service and serving in other words building and and then distributing in terms of putting food together and then being able to get it to the customer who's got a mess kit and a canteen cup and it's plot plot fizz fizz next plot plot fizz fizz next and Plop, plop, fizz, fizz next, that's how it should be. We can get nicer, we'll do the best we can, but most important is you gotta be thinking field rations, field operations. You can improvise in depth, doesn't have to be OD green to do that. All the stuff like kitchenware I got, a lot of it is stuff that was from the more money than brains area of that arbor where the equipment is constantly poured out the back door. constantly and in most cases virtually do. I was like I told you I've got stuff that's still in the wrapper. When you touch it you decide we're going to use it. You'll be the first person to ever put your fingers on it or touch lips to it. If it's for food or for food processing and food service guess what? You will be the first person who ever made it work. But the important thing is you'll have it on hand and we all can continue to participate. See like I said you don't have to be into bullets. people. A mess kit unit. You ever hear me use that term? What's a mess kit unit? It's a service support unit. What do they do? Well, they do everything from quarter bastard to actually being a field kitchen. You know, they may have a significant field detachment, smaller units, or field kitchen. They may have an actual full support system that can do what is the equivalent to wholesale production. You always see these videos or movies about what did the army do in World War II? The same thing they did in World War I, the same thing they did in the Civil War, the same thing they did in Vietnam, the same thing they did in Desert Dust, although they got pretty lazy by the time you get around to Desert Dust, so they don't know how to do half of what they should. But it still comes down to volume. And this is where a lot of the stuff we're doing right now, all we can do is macro manage in motion. Get it together keep it sorted know that if you see that barrel and it's got a red top that's medical You see those barrels look at the model that model is logistic Logistic tactical support see that model those are extraneous support supply and General materials and it is listed by container But the ideal situation as I mentioned many times is to pick a container that is signature I just mentioned one. You'll notice if you go to Farsh Book Marketplace or many of the others, there are a number of different barrels out there, but one of them is a blue barrel with a red cap. Also, there's a particular size, and then there's also, although there's little variations depending on what year it was made. Most of them are most recently made because they're constantly chucking more out the back door. They're available. They're food grade, but they're not, their food's not going in them. And by the way, they're double lined with plastic with, you know, wrapped it with the liners and the medical cure goes in there. Now, if I sorted and picked everything in that yet, I wanted to do that last month, but too many things caught up with us. So last month I would have actually had every container open. and we would have resorted everything. At some point we'll do that. We probably aren't going to get to it until the fall. We might be shooting their ass in the fall. So somebody else is going to be sorting it out. I have a general inventory sheet on top of every barrel. It tells you if you open the barrel, basically what's in there. This is the same thing that I do with tactical gear. Each barrel has on the top a ladle list, a lading list of how many pieces of web gear, what type of web gear, what camo pattern. Example, I've joked about this, but I'm not joking. If you're a Woodland camo unit, I can roll a whole bunch of stuff out. You're going to have to go through it. Because from the bottom to the top, there's nothing but Woodland camo in that container. Woodland vests, Woodland coats, M65 field jackets, Any kind of BDU top and bottom you can imagine in Woodland and patrol caps by the dozens some of them brand new depending on the layer Because I've had deals I've made at the wholesale end and I know okay. What is this you know coming in? Who are they? Well, it's the 413. Okay. What are they? Well, they're local militia What's your standard? What are they using? Well, they're not really standard on everything but a lot of them have woodland. Okay, guess what's gonna happen? A lot of the rest of them are gonna be in woodland and by the time you're done, there are two things that stuff better outfitting friend-fo identification and we're going to help to build up their esprit de corps. We are going to motivate them. They are going to, we're not looking to be tactical, but they are going to look squared away. We are going to motivate and to motivate we have to make sure that we again We also have to lead by example we get into this situation You got to get people pointed in the right direction. They're hoping for direction So you all need to be ready to lead by example And then also provide where you can most of the people who helped to form the American war for independence in its beginning Literally dealt with the logistics problems personally That's the part when they talk about the people spent their lives and their fortunes they did You know how many how many troops do you know does anybody know how many soldiers? Washington George Washington or for instance Well Sam Adams everybody goes wait. Oh you were stealing stuff from the from the British. No, that's not all they did These guys that's why they always try to the first thing you've got to understand about the bullshit history is the idea of compressing it, I've told this a million times, so that things are not thought through. The men who fought the war for independence didn't wake up on April 19th and go, damn, let's go shoot some Brits! Well, we're British too, kind of, sir. Yeah, yeah, but they've got red coats on. That's not how it worked. And they didn't do it for the few months before, or a few weeks before the war started. That's another bullshit story. They built deep Why again, I've told you before here's something I even myself I knew that there were the other activities but more I read the action at Salem that took place before April 1917 75 guys that would have been we remember Salem instead of remember Lexington and Concord and it was over what over cannons that had been purchased now nobody cared about people buying cannons Traditionally, you armed your ships because there were always brigands and scallywags out there who might want to steal from you. And it was logical that you should have what was called an armed merchant marine ship or a fishing boat. You had at least a little bit of a few teeth on your deck or below decks you can bring up to try and protect yourself from being in harm's way. So when they bought these guns, they specifically were doing it to wag their British weenie in our colonial faces. Well, it didn't work, but it also didn't kick it off because everybody got serious. But why did he get serious? Oh, because there was a warning system, Paul Revere and his writers, who didn't just write on April 19th, but had written several times before. Okay, it was much deeper. Well, the supply system was the same way. When they put 20,000 people on the ground to surround the British on April 19th and April 20th, After Lexie Finn and Concord, we ran the rest back into, you know, Boston. Well, when we did that, we had to then garrison the site. Now, was it perfectly organized? You know, I've pointed this out, we could have done better. But considering what they had and how many different organizations and mechanisms they were bringing together, they did pretty damn good. But we can do better. And we must do better. You know, there's some groups out there making the app like, you know, we don't know or anything that we're talking about, you know, just need to be knee-jerk last minute. It's all going to be run around in a pickup truck or whatever. Yee-haw! Now, I'm going to tell you something. If the person drives by and then comes back the other way and they've been in a fight, they're like, you know, what, what are you guys doing here? Well, ran out of ammo, short on mags, got people hurt. You know, who it is that's going to be fixing them, giving them more mags and ammunition? We will. They were thinking of they're going to be in the fight. My argument is we are going to stay in the fight. And to stay in the fight, you need to be thinking long. And that means more mags, more ammo, more spare parts, more medical supplies. So that when that group comes back and by the way they went out with the pickup truck and they've been bragging that well we tell you to get in the truck you can do it. We say well your truck's loaded up you look like you're squared away and when they go down the road and they get what they want which is contact. Well when they're walking back because the truck took too many hits and they're dragging two or three wounded with them. We're going to be the ones who not only would help in the fight but when the time comes cover their ass on the retreat. And in the process, take care of their wounded because we have medical support to do it. And by the way, what are you short? Oh, I spent everything but three mags and I lost most of them. Okay, what are you using? Oh, they are. Okay, over there to the sea line over there. Get over there real quick. See that garage over there? Get over to that garage. Well, who else needs mags? Go to that garage. What can you offer in exchange? What can you do? You think you're gonna sit on your dead ass? I'm a fighter, not a worker. Well, you know what? I'll give you a reasonable trade. You show up and you're gonna be moving crates. You need food, we'll feed you. You need rest, we'll make sure you get it. Not sitting on your dead ass waiting because you just don't feel like doing anything. But if you show up, your sorry ass is gonna help with everybody else's work. That's the trade. That's what you better be thinking ahead about. Again, we're thinking for the long haul and we also still have to have all our technology in place. Air defense technologies are the priority right now. In fact, I just ran into something I didn't, I was surprised and I can't say anymore because we already made sure I sent someone to pick it up. But two weekends ago, I ran into a whole ton of 10 gauge. It was totally unexpected. Of course, that's all that always happens. But Guy had a pile of 10 gauge. Obviously whoever it was he was associated with they were into goose hunting. But guess what? That 10 gauge is now in our hands and it gets lined up with an Ithaca goose gun, a pump gun, and a couple of the other Ithaca semis. And that 10 gauge has got a lot more reach and it's designed to thud Canadian geese down. So that can give you a little... Drones! Yeah, and drones. Now that's not, that's the low end air defense, but guess what? Bird barrel shotguns and goose guns have better be your priority. You better make sure you got some in the inventory. And right now nobody's thinking about that. They aren't thinking about hunting season. But a whole pile of 10 gauge, and we didn't pay 10 gauge prices. Because if you know what 10 gauge costs, the guy, well, once you realize, hey, whose coming is going to be a friendly, you seem to be politically oriented towards Mr. Trump, right? Oh, a lot more than that. Oh, very good. So guess what, if you have a reasonable price, I've got a person lined up for you and people can make a good trade. You have to hope, you have to hey, everything we should be looking at, I don't pass much of anything up. I know sometimes Nancy is of course very, Nancy puts up a lot, but on the other hand I work mass off and everything else too. I'll tell you that. When I walk away from here, I'm going back to nailing and screwing material together, bolting a whole bunch of equipment together that's been painted. Half of that's going to be to make sure that we need what we need to work every day. The other half is stuff that's getting ready for what we're talking about. Every day I try to get at least one project done that has to do with building up our tactical potential. It can be everything from like I said, Phil, I've still got it sitting here. I cleaned that battery. In fact, you probably can hear it here. That's that radio I was talking about. Well, I got the battery out, but now I'm going to have to disassemble because the oxidation goes down inside and I got to get that cancer out of there. But I did get it cleared out last night while I was sitting there on my dead hind end watching a little bit of television. One program, one movie. That's my treat. And if I'm doing that, I ain't doing that only because I got by God, I better be able to multitask. But the fact is that something can always be done, more can be done. And not only that, but a lot of the stuff I'm doing, I got some not stupid. So a lot of the stuff people aren't thinking about that there's they're not going to have if we get an economic downturn, people have been so foolish about, you know, trying to, you know, brag that they've gotten rid of more than the other guy, which is really stupid. Your accumulated physical wealth, people are now bragging about how, well, I got rid of my record collection, I got rid of my DVD collection, I got rid of my music, I got rid of my tunes, I got rid of my videos, I got rid of this, I got rid of that, got a house that's a McMansion and the walls are bare and the place looks like it's got a few pieces of stick for it, not because they didn't have it. Because they're stupid enough to buy into this minimalist crap while they still are paying for a house that costs $300,000, $400,000 and paying McMansion prices as far as the loan goes. And so all the stuff that they had, well we've got to get rid of it. I read an article and it's really cool not to have anything in your house. You've got to be, you know, you've got to be happy because you have nothing. A minimalist. Yeah, a minimalist, which is bullshit. I'm sorry. The stuff that you have paid with your life's time, you then are conditioned by the stupidity of the system to not appreciate the trade that you've made and the archival quality of what you've collected, what it's worth. As a representation of your life, somebody needs to be slapped. Now if the cell phones, I'm sorry, on the one hand, a lot of you are listening by the cell phones and you'd be hopefully listening by the computer. The cell phone system itself, the enemy has done nothing but use it to do so much damage. People don't know how to communicate, don't know how to work amongst other people. Some people are simply so far gone, and I don't care what anybody says, they cannot be fixed. It's just all there is to it. Satan's had his way, the devil is gonna get his due paid, and some of them just love the devil. It's like that's part of this the battlefield is there is us and them and there's somebody said something day just before I came into the program here this first hour and like well We got to bring the country to go you're not gonna bring this country together Do you want to get why would you want a fruit loop nutcase backstabbing rat bastard? With purple hair, that's a queer that's constantly looking at your children. Why why would I possibly want to come together with that thing? When you have Fruit Loops that you know look like the hell a guy look like he's my age Maybe you've seen this video on YouTube that's been popping up because there's an ongoing story where the guy burned this Trump sign Okay, Trump won is what it says so this jackass has got you know the latest Johnny jet jocks bandex on but he's my age I looks like you may be a little longer. I'm 66 maybe he's 50 But he's older. He's not like he's a punk from another era, but he's a punk And he's got the safety helmet on, he's got all the special safety gear on, he's got his spandex on, he came up and he just hated, he just was so pumped up with whatever drugs he's doing, because it really is, government drugs, whatever other things he's on, whatever his twisted brain has gone to, and he's burning this sign. And I'm thinking, you know, you would think that somebody would be 50 might actually have some kind of adulthood attached to them, but there isn't. And I'm sorry, but I'm not. That's an effeminate male that cannot control themselves in a situation where, you know, we're talking about, we want to get back together, we need to be hospitable. That person is never going to be hospitable. If that person was willing to go on to another man's property, set fire to that property, and then giggle and run off into the darkness with his little speedo bicycle. He got caught up on and eventually people figured out he had tats on his arms. He's an idiot stick, he's looking the way he does. He's got tats on his arms, he's caught on camera, and it wasn't really, it was never going to be that hard to figure out who he was. He was a dimwit. He was an effeminate, in a man's body, an effeminate emotional nitwit. Otherwise it used to be it'd be like yeah, he's got that Trump sign I'm gonna have a bigger Biden sign or a bigger Communist Party sign and we'll compete no they don't believe in that He came out of that person's property and burned that man's property That person is a sociopath that given the opportunity That's the checkus they would hand a gun out to and he would murder that man who put the sign up in his house and his family if he'd had the chance And I think he is doing you a favor when he killed you Yep, if you don't understand you this country is is finished as far as the get-together crap Okay, that's done And there isn't anything gonna fix it but a conflict to clean the ones if we lose it's all or nothing either way We can't lose for that reasons and there there aren't as many of them as as the bullshit sessions tried to create we outnumber them Just like we outnumber the government and that's why they had to control social media people so that you could tell yourself, oh my God, I'm all alone. Well, if your enemy is manipulating the machine across the board, then why are you giving it any credibility? Everybody admits that the media is absolutely manipulated, that it's absolute fabrication. But then why are you fretting? Because what that tells you is not a number they're offering, not a word they're speaking, not an image they're showing. Should in any way, shape, or form be viewed with any or listened to with any confidence? And first rule, they are your enemy. Words mean something. They're using the word enemy. They hate you. That word means something. They're not going to ratchet back. If they can go farther, they're going to go the next step in the red terror, which is why we need to get rid of them before they think they're going to get rid of us. And that means the management problem. All the characters are the pot stirrers. That's why you want to send people all these gun grab operations. I've told everybody we have people doing it. All of like the moms operation. Oh no, you want every face there. You make sure that every gun grabbing, all the ADL meetings, guys, just be rabid. Send the person in with the bigger nose. And record every person that's there. because there aren't that many of them, because they'd like to be that little separate click. Guess what? A lot easier to find when the time comes. So again, this is why we have to be better across the board at what we're doing. Yeah, I know not all of you are going to do what I do, but a lot of you could. And in fact, some of you could. How about if you work, we have a friends listening that are emergency services, and they probably already do this anyway. But let me help to minimize a lot of what you're doing. If there's anything that's thrown out and you're in medical, some stuff is sharps, you can't go with that. Some of it they won't let you have if it's used. But for instance, and I've told you this many times, if you go to an emergency ward, God help you. We don't do that hardly at all anymore. We don't do it for anything if we can help it. I'm going to hospital for anything and I'm not being treated for anything other than to follow up on old issues maybe to make sure that things are fixed before we get into what's going on now. And that has to do with damage physical repair. And even there I'm not going there. I'm going to other solutions like some of our friends listening in the other direction. But if you're in medical, the best thing you can do is go to Facebook, go to Craigslist, find these barrel sellers. Pick a barrel that you can manage. About a 30 gallon is perfect. Go get it, make sure it's cleaned out. Usually there's nothing wrong with them because they actually have plastic liners before they were used, so there's nothing ever made contact with the inside of the barrel anyway, but they're food grade. Now, you line it with another garbage bag, make sure you got everything squared away. And every day, whenever you come back from work, take whatever you can get that's being tossed out, or as part of like if you work in emergency, you have little surgical kits. If the customer does not want the scissors, the forceps, the scalpel, if it wasn't used, all the wipes and everything, take them with you. See that barrel? Put them in there. Anybody got an old stethoscope or something to get rid of? Maybe you got an old pressure cup? I got pressure cups, dozens of them. Dozens and dozens. I've been getting, that's one of those matrix things. I've been getting them nonstop for free for the last two months. Every one of them goes in the barrel. Did I check them? I checked to make sure they weren't rotting because some are really old. But all of them, exceptional one, one was tired. But you know what? The mechanicals were not. Just the old rubber hose. I guess what's going to happen. The old rubber, the new rubber hose that we bought from ShopMedVet.com. I'm not talking about the transfusion hose, but you can get rubber hose. You can also get it from a number of different suppliers for medical. And I can replace the rubber and that stethoscope will work just fine. But the others, all of them, might either check or German or American. are all virtually like brand new in the wrapper. Somebody got them because they were doing blood, they were doing probably pressure checks at home. Eventually they bought the electrics, now they get rid of those. Not all the electrics work right, which is one of the reasons you gotta watch, but for now, I'm just macro loading them. So if you're listening in your medical, do the same thing. If you can get any supplies like that, box them. Oh, catheters. There's material by the crate I could get at the University of Michigan. You just get it for a dollar, a case. It could be catheters. It could be plastic throwaway bedpans. It could be gauze. It could be saline solution in bags. It could be any number of things. You never knew it was going to show up. Never. And a dollar a box. I got to pick this stuff up all day. Just work with you about and there's still stuff like that out there, but whatever you can find Barrel it what always seal the thing back up. They don't just leave it open to the air when you're not when it's not being loaded roll the bag back up Put the lid back on snug the dog down keep it that way If there's something you find a yard sale grab it. We got a bunch of surgical dressings and some medium abdominal dressing slash pads. Those are basically a large compress pad for free from one of the estate sale, yard sales, not estate, yard sales down the road here. You just ask, well, what are you gonna do with those? We're gonna, nobody will want them. We wanna get rid of them. I'll take them. Can I have them? Sure, yeah, we didn't wanna throw them away. Just nobody was interested in them. Oh, I am. You got anything else? Always ask. Where'd those go? They're in a barrel right now. Hey Mark, so go ahead jump in there, please. Something I've been neglecting to mention to people, I'm not sure if everybody goes to the Uptrade A9 store anymore since it's not a dollar store, but if you do they have in many of them, and I've got a bootload of them here, Moisture suckers. What do they call the Well, like a dehumidifier, but they're a little, you've got calcium something in them and it draws moisture out of the air. Oh, dehumidifier. A dehumidifier. Are you talking about dehumidifier or rehumidifier? There's a freaking name for it. But yes, one of those things they have. Yes, I can. Thank you so much. There we go. You knew we'd get to it eventually. I'm getting old folks. They've got some pretty decent sized ones there. It takes a pretty good amount of moisture out according to what it says. They're sealed up when you get them. You peel the little tab on the inside and it opens up and exposes the aggregate underneath and it starts to dehumidifying. Great for, I mean if you especially think that you're real cautious about like flour or something maybe, I mean they're about the size of Hey, you've seen the what they call a half gallon of ice cream now, it's it's the rectangular things about half that size so if it's gonna be in a half gallon ice cream size container would be like a One quart ice cream container, but like that square look so they're only about that big I would put one in a fly down container just for the benefit Anyway, I'll tell you what past the top guys.

It's 74 degrees here in Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana. Beautiful day outside today, 6 minutes past the top of the hour. Which gives me a couple minutes to tell y'all if you're listening to this broadcast, I'm getting ready to play some video you don't really... have to go watch it but I suggest if you can get to truthbroadcastnetwork.com or livestream.com forward slash HTNWO to watch the video that would be great. You'd get a lot more out of it but he says enough in the audio for you to get the point of what he's saying. This is Professor Walter Veese and this is from his series Total Onslaught. And what this is, is the actual, it's one of the parts of Total Onslaught. Let me get that lined up here and I can tell you more about it. Let's see here, where'd it go? Where'd it go? There we go. Revolutions, Tyrants and Wars, Total Onslaught. And there it just started without me starting it, so we'll go back to my picture here. Well, we'll probably have to wait on that for just a couple more minutes, so at least I've got it lined up. But anyway, it has a lot to do with what we're seeing going on around the world right now with all the wars, and it'll explain a lot of what's happened in the past up to now with all these people, and it goes quite far back. It's about an hour and a half long, so we're only going to see half of it today. But man, it is good. It's got some good stuff in it, really good information. You might not agree with everything he says, but the facts are there and that's what we're looking at here. We're not looking at his beliefs or his faith or whatever. Pull the facts out and examine them for yourself while he's going through all this. It'll blow you away as to what's going on right now with ISIS and ISIL and all this other bullshit. He cuts through a lot of that. So why don't we just get that started here and we'll let him tell it to you. I'm going to jump through the beginning of the video here. So it'll be a little jumpy in the first couple minutes here as soon as I get rid of this kitty cat. Hey, go kitty. He was trying to help me out, but I can't use paws. I need thumbs. But anyway, it's going to jump a little bit here until I get it to where he starts talking. But that's okay. It'll cut out the BS. So here we go. Professor Walter Veith, Revelations, Tyrants, and Wars, Total Onslaught. You can find the whole series Total Onslaught on YouTube. Do a search for Walter Veith, Total Onslaught. And you'll find Couple different playlists with all his videos in there different quality uploads. So go check it out. Here's Walter Beese Title of this lecture revolution revolutions tyrants and wars it sounds like a terrible title But that's exactly what it's about I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored piece full of names of blasphemy Revelation 17 verse 3. Here is this church controlling the scarlet colored beast. Revelation 13 verse 4 says, and they worship the dragon, unknowingly of course, which gave power unto the beast, and they worship the beast, which has been defined as that power which ruled for 1260 years, then received a mortal wound and will rule again at the end of time. And we have identified it basically as Catholicism. And they worshiped the beast, saying who is like unto the beast, who is able to make war with them. They're all bowing down to this strange beast. the kings of the world and the high people of this planet. They pay homage to it. They worship it through their obedience and by giving them the power of the state to deal with any issue. There is an interesting quote from potpourri, pusiasm and Jesuitism. At what then do the Jesuits aim? According to them they only seek the greater glory of God, but if you examine the facts you will find that they aim at universal dominion alone. You see, Rome had lost universal dominion and the Protestant Reformation had been a major problem in this issue, a major problem. They have rendered themselves indispensable to the Pope who without them could not exist, because Catholicism is identified with them. They have rendered themselves indispensable to governors and hold revolutions in their hands. And in this way, either under one name or another, it is they who rule the world. You see, the papacy has crowned itself ruler of the entire world. The Pope is the ruler of the entire world. That's the Holy Roman Empire spread over the entire planet. Well, if we have a look at a century of revolutions starting from 1750 to 1850, We'll see the American Revolution in 1776 and we can ask the presidents, let them rule, who do they think was responsible for this revolution? Then there's the French Revolution, 1789. The Spanish Revolution, 1823. The Polish Revolution, 1831. The German and the Italian Revolution, 1848. By 1917 you had the Russian Revolution and then basically it was time. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to cure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this the land and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free. 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 is 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 attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken it, you've traded in your name, you've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and see and re-farm and keep our country deep. been dead. 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he 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 parents 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave the land of the free? Good morning and evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report I'm Mark Karji.

It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 23rd of August. The days are continuing to march by, but we still got old. We got time left. Don't you worry, but just stay focused and keep doing. It needs to be done. It's the 15th year of Open Obvious and Pissing in Your Face Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation. of America with a K2023 old earth calendar 2023 battle for the republic the dance of swords let the dance continue and in fact it's going to there's no doubt there is no reconciliation possible whatever it is going to happen is going to happen and the idea is plan to win, which means fight better. So for everybody out there, weapons Wednesday. Couple things, a lot of discussion right now again on the Mini-14. This happens in cycles. And you may not be using the Mini-14. I do recommend everybody buy an AR-15, period. Everybody, if you have a Mini-14, should have at least one AR-15 in the inventory at least. And the reasoning is just common sense price, cost. How many can you get for the dollar? And when the time comes, hand out to somebody that that's what they're familiar with. This is part of the deep logistics train we were talking about. Mature a block to a degree. But the Mini-14 has been out there for a very long time. It is a very successful weapons system. Yes, it has been used by militaries. In fact, Mr. Ruger hated American firearms owners. But by God, he'd arm up with a mini 14 GB model to any 10 pot dictator out there. And he did at the behest of the US government. But the same Ruger would not sell when originally the mini 14 came out would not sell a 30 round magazine to American citizens. Ruger made them and Ruger made a lot of them and exported them out of the country to wink and nod operators of South America, Africa, Asia, and even in Europe. The Mini-14 was everywhere, contrary to what you might think. And they try to imply, well, everybody was around that time, they don't speak up that much. So I will. The Mini-14 in the GB model, of course, is select fire. folding stock, a flash hider, and a bayonet lug to conform to all of the requirements of the Geneva Convention and the Hague Conventions and the Hague Treaty. And in the process, this weapon was very well developed. Ruger has always been good about taking care of its customers, though even we piss woolly Americans in the eyes of Mr. Ruger himself who thought that all of us could not be trusted because He was special and we worked. And what's interesting about this is the original Mini-14 came out after the war. I think a lot of people have hit the nail on the head in that the M16 did not have a good track record in 1975, okay, in 1976. A lot of guys came out of service. They didn't want the Air 15 simply because it was not bad memories. It was, well, okay, I can take that back. There were a lot of guys who were early war, who were very much alive in 1977, and the Ruger was more in line with the M14 that many of them had actually used and trained with, but scaled down to 5.56, so it accommodated the light rifle category. ARs were not cheap at the time. There weren't dozens and hundreds of AR-15 manufacturers. That took decades to build up. So in 1975, 76, 77, as Ruger introduced first the prototype and display models and then progressively offered the Mini-14 as a ranch carbine rifle, it stuck. It started to really take off quickly, a lot of more sold. And it still did come with both the five round flush magazine as you if you have those don't ever throw them away They're really convenient because they at least they're old rounds and every magazine that's loaded is going to count when the time comes But you could buy 20 round Ruger magazines also immediately some of the best aftermarket Magazine producers of that era started to produce many 14 max So, a lot of what you'll see in a grandpa or dad collection is going to be A, the rampant flaming eagle ruger symbol with ruger, okay, or you're going to see a number of other companies including OK, and my favorite was, oh god, what was the other one? This okay my guy may okay jumps off because it's an O with a K and mostly those dated government contracts in the air 15 mags But action arms got why I didn't think about action arms anybody remember action arms you probably don't but if you're in the military I that's what went along with my hydromatic m16 was a whole bunch of action arms AR 15 m16 magazines trust me I had thousands of them hundreds actually still have hundreds of thousands out we transfer them all over other people but they started out being 20 rounders and of course that if they got the dump call the 20 rounders on the government system so everybody picked them up and For the air 15 and then the you know 30 rounders showed up eventually, but the mini 14 Accurate comfortable to shoot a leader then the than the m16. Let's remember something In the period that we're talking about, they didn't add on all the bells, whistles, and pounds of equipment that are presently tacked on to what was supposed to be a seven-pound rifle, the Air 15 M16. Today, the M16 weighs as much as a full-blown M14 rifle issued during the early days of the Vietnam conflict slash war. So, it's important to remember that at the end of the conflagration, everybody finally settling down, the philosophy of a lighter weapon that would offer the same kind of firepower really appealed to everyone. And Ruger was in the right place at the right time, the weapon works, I don't care what anybody says. Well, there's weapons that do a better job, they do as good a job. The big thing with the Mini-14 is it has all of the basic characteristics of the actual M14 rifle in that even the magazine attaches the same way and you have to develop skill with that. Okay? You have to be able to bring approach the magazine into the magazine well on a bit of a can't. Make sure that that front chin is up and in and then you pull the magazine up and in and back at the same time until you hear that clack. Now it should happen faster than I can just describe it, but it basically should happen with nauseous repetition and properly done, but things happen, especially when the stress factor goes up. So that was an issue. The only thing is, again, it has an M14 magazine stay system for retention. Convenient because of where it is. as far as how it works. So it's halfway between. Again, well, no, I'd say it's closer to an AK, but it doesn't have the chin tip that the AK has. There are advantages with the way they built the AK. There are things that they learned long ago, and they made it work. However, again, the Mini-14 spare parts are readily available. Ruger was good for replacing anything at either free or minimal cost. unless you did something really goofy stupid to the gun, warranties were honored constantly. I was a Ruger distributor at that time way back when actually, the beginning of the 80s, early 80s. And the weapon continued to breed happiness, and especially when Ruger came up with a stainless steel Mini 14. Many, many, many boats were outfitted with a handful, a clutch of Mini 14s. a couple of stainless steel shotguns and a bunch of or a clutch of either AMT 45s or pistols of whatever AMT, ilk stainless or Smith and Wesson model 64 or 65 revolvers in stainless. For saltboard use, you know, salty sea operations, it reduced dramatically the wear, tear and breakdown of a firearm at sea. and a lot of people that were planning on doing open water from the Great Lakes into the Atlantic from where we were here. I sold a lot of weapons like that to, in fact, whole outfits kits to individuals fitting their boats out for traveling across the planet. They were personal yachters and they had money and they picked out and they said, well, I need something to work. Well, it's dangerous. and the AMTs were an excellent choice at the time. The Mini-14 was the only gun available except, except that not long after the Mini-14 came out in stainless steel, the Iver Johnson group, the Rehash Iver Johnson, came up with a stainless steel M1 carbine. And in fact, Plainfield also produced, and you might run into them once in a while, a full stainless steel M1 carbine. Now that was the only competition in that category for something that was all stainless, top to bottom, front to back, plastic for the stocks. Nothing could rot, nothing could go wrong. Yeah, it's still due maintenance because it's on the ocean and salt air is a bugger when it comes to taking care of anything on the water. I don't care what it is. So, the Mini-14 was ahead of the curve on that, and then, of course, progressively, as I said, the AR-15 production, which really had its first big surge in 1977, then backed off because the Bat-Faggots under Jimmy Carter were told to attack the AR-15 manufacturers. And they did. They did everything you're seeing right now that they're doing to FFLs. They did it then to the AR-15 manufacturers. So there was a back down of availability and a cost increase because people were charging, expecting to charge more because the AR-15s were in thin supply. However, in that 1977 window is where a company shows up that people poo poo today or try to be snide about, but Anderson. The Anderson AR-15 rifle manufacturers started out by initially, although they did have a complete rifle, the big thing that Anderson brought to the table is that they were some of the first actual named AR-15 uppers and lowers available in the late 70s, early 80s. In one form or another, they got out there, amazingly enough, at the time, priced for an upper, $75, priced for a lower, $75. Not bad, not fancy. They had all of the tell markings of Fed Org. It's been word for 30 years. That's our favorite go to. Oh my God. What the hell happened here? Receivers, but you know, here's the thing. Bedwords had an okay finish. They didn't have really great cosmetic looks on the outside and by God, they ran the tooling. I know they did because you could tell by looking at it to the end of the machine to the end of the life of the tool before they have to regrinder, you know, chuck it. And what's interesting is that Fedward was considered to be the Pontiac of everything you were building, M1A, M14, M1 Garand, and M1 Kirby. But all of a sudden we had two no-name brand companies that have already come and gone. I can't recall. The one I think was just literally a plain Jane. They had a set of initials. They were available up here in the Midwest and around the country. And so these three different receiver groups, AR-15 semi-automatic lower with an AR-15 upper with a forward assist, which you didn't necessarily need back then, because let me remind you something, I could buy for between 75 and $125 a lower receiver. You could go to Sarco and buy a complete M16A1 kit for as little as $85. But the average, and it was the advertised price for a baseline either very good or brand new unissued parts, was $125. So for $125, you get every part that goes on an M16. By the way, that included bulk carrying, all the other fun stuff, which you weren't supposed to have used. Don't you use that. However, everybody very quickly started slapping AR-15A1s together in force. And then of course the big thing, the big one I want, which changed that rifle's image, was the fact that, well I want the CAR-15 like my boys had the end of the war there, you know, actually from the middle to the end. SEAL teams, special forces, had the XM-177. It was a, remember in the military and the army, if you go to any of the literature for any fool or stupid person who tries to say this isn't true, all you have to do is go to the PM manual, which is a classic, and in the PM manuals and in the PM magazine, specifically it was explained that while it is a short standard AR-15 type rifle, M16 type rifle with a short barrel, The XM-177 car 15 was considered a submachine gun. That's how it's listed in all the literature of the day during the war, right to the end of the war. Okay? But everybody wanted one. Now here's the thing, the Sherr barrel. And everybody knew the bat faggots were zeroing in on air 15. So, the religiosity of making a 16, 16 and a half inch barrel was stuck right there. That's where it began. The interesting thing as a note, I had a lot of machinists here, well there are a lot of them who are retired and many of them have died now too because they would be 100 years old right now. But at the end of the Vietnam War, which was 1975, that's almost 50 years ago now. Guys, one of the neatest tricks that I saw is you had a 16 inch barrel on a car 15 carbine length upper, okay? Otherwise, back end looked just like the original XM177 slash, you know, CAR-15. So, what the guys did in the shops here at Ford, GM, and Chrysler, one guy got this idea. During the war, he served, you know, with seals. Really did. Not wanting all you. Somebody said somebody heard somebody saw. He actually was serving. And at the time they were using silenced XM-177s. So what did he do? Well he still had to make it a little longer than the original package. But what he did is he made a fake silencer shell that went back along the whole length of the 16 inch barrel and lay right about where it should if the barrel were the shorter configuration. Now there were three different barrel lengths that he told me they experimented with or they gave them. None of them were ever thrown out. If you got the 10 inch or the 10.5 or the 11 and a half, whatever, I think it was a 12, forgive me. The XM offers that were being issued out were just a matter of flavor of the day and also had different barrel twists that were not standardized on. But they were out there, okay? And the troops saw them and the guys knew them and most of these guys went into working in the tool and die or the machine shops at the auto companies. So the first thing they did is they make these fake shrouds and all of a sudden you got what looks like a silenced AR-15, also a short barrel, but it wasn't. It was a full 16 inch barrel, looked neater than hell because it was the pencil barrel that made everything correct on these guns. Had the pencil barrel weight, the whole nine yards. You can put one together for a very reasonable price, the basics. And then you take and get one of the guys in the shops to finish it up. And we had a whole fleet of guys here with these little XM177 lookalikes that were sweet looking. Of course, then they were looking for the silencers, which they weren't. It was just that the whole tube went all the way to the front where the inside of the tube closest to the site, but way at the other end, almost to the other end, was welded into place or machined. One of them we made as a solid tube and they actually bored up the inside of the tube just to the dimension of the barrel. Put the threading and everything at the other end opened up the tubes so that it would accommodate the bullet without any interruption obviously And they had themselves a really bad butt-looking little firearm and a lot of them would stick 20 round mags in them stating that you know when we had these and we started out we were using 20s and during the war we never really dumped the 20s we just kept using because they were like I said handy to put in every pocket So that whenever they got 30 sure they used them, but they kept every 20 they can get their hands on because they took up a little less space as far as being able to snatch and tuck everywhere you possibly could in anything that would hold a mag. So anyway, MINI of course was competing against that and it did successfully even though all those cool things we're talking about happened. The MINI 14 surpassed the AR-15 during that period of time. Which is why you see so many of them out there. However, I would point out do you really see that many out there? I mean I sold hundreds While I was you know working in FFL Hundreds and I never had any of them come back And in all that time those weapons all stayed in the you know with the people who were Deciding that that was the weapon of choice to go to war with if need be they never got rid of them Many of those people are in militias right now or actually, you know, some have retired and I guess it some have died. They passed away. But the Mini-14s have been passed on to the next generation. And because those people grew up with the gun, while they have the AR-15 and every variant you can imagine, they have the complete inventory of Mini-14s available. And this is why I will tell you right now, become familiar with the Mini-14 now. If you have a Mini-14 that is in your own personal collection, because you just like the gun, okay? Or if you have a dad's or grandpa's collection and you have a whole pile of Mini-14 extravaganza parts and pieces and rifles, I would square them away and understand that there's nothing wrong with handing it. If you handed it to me, I'd use it. I wouldn't even think twice about it. Again, for the same reason I just mentioned, we grew up with it. Now some people it would take a little bit of a learning curve because there are things you need to understand but it's straightforward if you like shooting the carbine and this was the other crossover issue is that a lot of people love the M1 carbine but it had a Slightly anemic round by comparison to what everything else was going down range So if you like the carbine and you had millions and you still do nobody threw their M1 carbines away, okay? Well then they bought the Mini-14 because it just seemed to be the logical step. It was pretty much the same basic operation. There wasn't anything to rethink. The magazine well was the only thing, as I mentioned. Then Carbeam had an odd bucket system. You know, what I call a bucket system, it's like the AR-15. You have this nice bell. You got a channel. It's easy to line that magazine up, slap it in place here, the click, and you're there. That's a no-think magazine well. Carbeam was comparable. Carbine was first, actually. And that was another reason a lot of people liked the carbine because if you're training other non-shooters, the carbine had a much easier development time because the carbine magazine well was straight in. So it was just up and in the magazine well, click, get the magazine, you know, get the bullets on the top, make sure the bullets are painted, pointed towards the enemy, insert them into the magazine well, and you're done. And again, the Mini-14 doesn't require like the M14 a little think when it comes to operating the magazine and then developing skill. Okay? That's what you need to practice. You break out that Mini-14, get everybody together, and if you have more than a few people with them, you need to do a Mini-14 day and actually sit down with everybody and those who haven't used it and get them to A, operate the weapon, help to break, you know, actually go through a class to break down and do a basic field strip, which really isn't any different from an M14, and then get them on the range to shoot it. Why? Because it is very likely that we end this up-and-coming war, at some point they may have this weapon issued to them. Now this is another reason when I was in charge when I commanded a second Op-4, and I created Op-4 training command, and then we had third Op-4, fourth Op-4, and fifth Op-4. The primary mission, but not the only mission, was my policy, was weapons familiarization. So at any given time, when we had what was integrated into an opt-for training exercise, or depending on what type of training was required by the National Guard, active or reserve unit, no matter who it was training, we tailored the individual structure, you know, one days, two days, four days, whatever it was, so that at some point if they requested weapons training on the range then they had to of course we had to ensure that we had the site available, range time, etc. because we were going to use the intermediate and short ranges for familiarization and I would have up to 200 different weapons on site so that all of the troops that we were training had a chance to literally physically handle and if at all possible shoot. as many different weapons as they chose to. And the reason for this is, you know, again, because of interest, there's always curiosity. Well, that needs to be satiated. People that are, especially in the fighting arts, if you are into military science, you need to have as broad a base of education and arms as humanly possible. There is no such thing as an obsolete weapon. Would you call the carbine an obsolete weapon? I don't want to get shot with it. 15 rounds. I've seen guys shot 15 rounds. There was a bank robbery at Ipsy. We just happened to be there at the right place, wrong time. State cops were using it back then in the 70s. The state cops of Michigan were using M2, M3, fully automatic carbines. But they didn't use the 30 round mags mostly. They used the 15. You know what they taught them to do? Aim for the ankle. And I watched this happen. The guy got laced from the foot. The 11 out of 15 rounds, full auto fire. You would like to look at how a carbine operates, what it does in full auto. And stitch the guy, hit him in the ankle, the shin, the knee, the crotch, the gut, the blower part of the rib cage, the center of the rib cage, the upper part of the collar bone, the neck twice, you know, tut tut. And then hit him in the side of the head and peel this, hit him in the side of the top of the forehead and peel the skin back. you'll far less time for that gun to do that than for me to tell you about it. So do I want to get shot with an M1 carbine? I don't want to get shot with anything. But the carbine is still a lethal arm. And because we have literally millions of them, you cannot or you'd be foolish or stupid to ridicule the weapon. In fact, you want every person who has any weapon of that type. Not to you don't ridicule them and piss on them about it You don't get stupid that way what you should be doing is motivating everybody. Oh, you got a carbine. Well, you need a thousand rounds You need to pick up at least 30 magazines for that gun right now Like you need to not eat if he'd be if that's what you're gonna do because That carbine is only gonna be supported by you now I don't have a problem with that because I know people have garages full of carbine at all all over the state of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, they're all over the place, okay? Car beans are everywhere. So the carbine is another weapon you better learn and understand how to use because you're going to run into it. And you don't want to be caught stupid when that happens. You really don't. So the car being the Mini-14 were great transitions, but then the AR-15 finally started to chug along even though George Herbert Walker Bush was attacking FFLs by the late 80s. The AR was starting to chug along in force, which is why they became even more aggressive to attack. And then the rest is history. Most everybody from the 90s on kind of knows the history, not really well, but they kind of know that, yeah, there's all these manufacturers and some of them are now But they they weren't the ones that cut the you know cut the water on this there's a lot of earlier operators and Manufacturers were on a great learning curve those skilled operators went from one company to building another or going to another company and Building them up. It's like Bush master Bush master was not building AR-15s Bush master built Bush master rifles But the skill and development level, the perfection that they came up with in terms of manufacturing and their development of understanding, working with the metals and working with the machinery, got them up too and they became a V name brand for how long? Bushmaster rifle. Oh, it's an era 15. No, not when I think Bushmaster rifle. It's the Bushmaster light rifles, Bushmaster pistol, which there were many, many, many, many of. And then the other, like the Bushmaster bullpup, has nothing to do with the Air 15. It doesn't look like an Air 15 at all. Has some Air 15 internal parts, a few basics, all the basic parts. But otherwise, no, it's a Bushmaster benchmark rifle. So again, the Mini-14, beautiful firearm. But in the meantime, we're, oh my goodness, I gotta watch this. We had to be right at the bottom because it's Weapons Wednesday. And I have been talking about, this is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Rifle is my best friend. It is my life. After it, as I after my life. Without being my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I'm useless. Ethel Drew, he shoots me before God. Mind you madness fills in our valleys There is danger, and there's danger in our hills Oh, hear ye not the singing of the fields or wild and free But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the trees Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle In our hands will prove no joyful You may ride a good late speed, you may know a sternom after. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And your leader, John, is dark. Glad you make what little noise you know, he's hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands, it will prove no strife. There are many like it. This one is mine. You need to be prepared to deal with a wide selection, a wide array of arms. You need to, I'll tell you what, right now, if you're going to watch television, go to YouTube and watch videos or go to Rumble. Rumble, probably better now. Well, you know, videos on the operation of arms. I told you before, in the eight years of the attack on the Donbass and the militias there, some of the best home videos Most all of which have been destroyed by the pigs, you know, the leftist pigs, you know, and the government so they could lie about whatever. But some of the best training videos you possibly could watch were actual personal camera, nonstop combat footage. Most important, showing you how things run. Everything from the RPG 7, there was one video, it might still, I have not bothered to really hunt it down, so maybe it didn't get pulled. But it's around the airport in the Donbass, if you recall, the airport looks like wreckage from one of the James Bond or one of the World War III movie video games. Literally everything's got a bullet hole through it. Every square foot, every square inch almost, and some places the bullet holes outnumber the sheet metal. That's how bad it was and has been for a very long time. Of course, most of the ground fighting has moved away from that because the Russians have come in and at least backed off the infantry. But during that period of time, there was a harassment fire operation going on. There were three RPG operators. These three RPG operators are supported by one loader each who was helping out to prep the rounds, the RPG-7 rounds. But the most important thing about this video was a non-stop, no break, them shooting and using the RPG-7 for what you would call rocket harassment fire. It was harassing fire. But still, I mean, you're dead if you're under it, okay? However, what was really important about the video is every kind of RPG-7 loaded warhead was used in that video. In fact, when you watch the video, pay attention for the first six reloads, you don't see the same round twice. You see the light HE, you see an AP, you see a double tap warhead AP, double shaped charge. There's a heavy HE with an enhanced, looks like a penetrator. And everything else, I mean, look at the shapes. Everybody knows when I say RPG seven that you expect that long, big, conical front end. Well, if you watch this video, it takes a while before you see one of those standard AP rounds, HEAP. And that is why you want to watch these videos. Because you're going to see all the variants and you're going to see how they brought the weapon into service. That is especially priceless because they operate all the safety equipment, take and turn everything on the way it should be, then they pull the trigger. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. Hey Mark, it's John from Kentucky. There was a DVD. What else was the name of heroes never died heroes never died and I think it's about the Don D. O. N. E. T. S. K. Is that it Don best? Yes. There's a video. All right. I've had this world long and I'll watch it again tonight, but It has almost every different AK you've ever can imagine. Yeah. Oh, and again, go ahead. Oh, a little while ago, you were talking about the early production of the aftermarket AR lowers, Anderson and those people. Well, the first one that I know of was the Syndra Corporation out of Barrington, Illinois. Syndra. Yeah. Do you remember that? Yeah, well actually they made what was they made also what was a no-name brand Lower had no acknowledgment of who made it words. Well, what's an air 15 magazine or air 15 lower? Well who made it you'd look at it I mean help some of those when they first came out did not even have the safe or fire indicator etched into the receiver some of them Yeah, because they didn't have the machinery. They didn't bother to do it. Go ahead. I'm sorry Well, this is the one I'm looking at has the Syndra group on it and it's it's designated XM15E2. Put it straight in, Tom. XM15E2. Is that a fair amount of money? Yeah. They come out with, you know, they got the Martin, when they did this thing, these guys, I think they have a thing to remember here. These people associated with this were all military contract at one time. So pretty much all of the nature of the industry kind of rolled over into everything they did, which is another thing everybody forgets. Everybody is coming out of the war. There were major changes in manufacturing. The very earliest CNC shows up way back then. And that was all paper tape programming, okay? People very hardly remember that. But the idea is that you actually can get the machine to do so many steps without the operator having to get in there and torque, retork, reset, adjust tools or replace tooling. And the job, it worked for so many steps and saved a lot of production time. And so the guys were on a learning curve with that. But most all of them had learned that part of the trade with the first of what we saw coming into the military production at places like Hydramatic or Cold or H&R where they had at the end of the war, they thought they were going to continue, the war was going to continue to a degree. And they still needed to replace stuff because the military lost so much. You know, we did leave a lot of things behind in Vietnam too. And so that was the overlap. Go ahead. The one I have, Sandra, is all the parts are cold. And I put it together in 1983, I think is what it was. So it's pretty old. And we... Yeah, but again, everything integrates. Right? Works for the new one. Oh, it's the same. Same as. I've been using it since 1983, and it's pretty much flawless. Just clean it, oil it, put it in the gun safe. Put it in the box to make sure it's safe, but be ready to bring it out when it's needed. Well, sometimes it stands for the door. The XM177, that flash hider, it's more of a sound. It throws the sound forward. Sound reduction unit. It wasn't a silencer, but it was a sound reduction unit and it was made by Psyonix. And what's interesting about subcontractors, but the model that most commonly was seen in Vietnam was the Sionix model. There were a bunch of other ones used, I understand, in the Middle East during that period of time that who knows what they were buying. But it wasn't a silencer. That's true. The one that you see on the XM, the car 15s that would go out to like the Sargent, well, you know, because they tried to issue it like a cavalry carbine. Well, no, let me correct myself. Think about it this way. If you were in the War for Independence, the troops got a musket, but most of the sergeants got what was called an NCO's pike. They didn't have a gun necessarily. Then when they finally decided maybe we've got enough weapons we can share the wealth, They went from that to what was called an NCO's musketoon or short musket. Not a blunderbuss. It was a small short version. So what really is interesting, it's almost like they wanted to fit that niche or keep that niche going. There's an historical connection to that. Like everything else we talk about with nations being ethnocentric about their manufacturing. And that was really where it fit. So a lot of guys saw that at the middle or end of the war and they're like, man, I want one of those. That was the cool dude that had those. And that's why the copy of that flash hider on a regular AR-15, or usually what you did is they put it on a Kar-15 by Colt, is it was just a straightforward barrel flash hider. It just was longer. It had the slits and it had the solid body. But it was nothing other than just a flash header. But the Batfaggots were told in 1977 to go after everybody they could that had one. It's like you see with the pistol brace, the pistol brace, the Air 15, we knew they'd do this. They made it legal. They told everybody you could have it. And then the lying sacks of BS did what they've always done. There was nothing they've done here that we didn't warn everybody else about in advance. That's really Yeah, go ahead. I'm sorry. Please. Well, on that flyshyder, Bushmaster has one listed in their paperwork that I have, which is 1982, and it says it calls it an extended flash suppressor, X-Tm177. Exactly. That was used on the Bushmaster bullpup. There was that one, and then there was a combat muzzle brake. There were two different flyshiders, what you're going to call them, but they used the word suppressor, extended fly suppressor, which is what tipped them all. It was listed as a suppressor and they went, oh my gosh. Well, anyway. Yeah, we won every time we back off, but that's that's why it happened My apprentice was in Germany last October learning how to build MP44s and other guns He saw the prints for the internals that goes in that flash hider that will muffle the sound It actually goes inside of that You ever seen anything like that? I've never seen an insert, but it would make sense. I see something like that, but these are work cops only. Similar pulse forward suppressors. There's two things they do. They dampen the sound around the area of activity, but to a degree, with whatever it is they do, with the fluting and the thralls inside, it also directs sound on the target. So at close range, I'm sure for... Go ahead. It pushes the sound forward so that the gun sounds like it's bigger than it really is. Alright. Barking like a dog. Yeah. The problem with that, I guess... The one thing about all of your main battle rifles is the same thing. I have had this happen over and over again. where we've used, you know, units with all .308, .30-06. At any distance, you can tell the immediate difference in the, you know, again with the report, which you should be able to do anyway, obviously. But it's the idea that it is far more concerning and worrisome. Now, it'd be one thing if it was a third world operation with a bunch of kids that are, you know, had no time to be, you know, able to handle their weapons. But in the U.S., Oh, we're in a very different situation. We can pick and choose whatever of our personal entertainment devices we want to work with. So unlike, say, operators going overseas and, you know, killing off the Iraqi population, we're not in that boat. That's why I've said the difference is we need to take and pick up all the time we can on each of these weapons for the very reason mentioned so that when the those who will continue to function with the police state when there are many, they're going to understand very quickly that there is a very different type of fighter in front of them. Now, they won't correct their methods initially. And I really hope they don't correct them at all before they die. But we have superiority in terms of available options, the types of, again, the types of support systems for each of the weapons. We can do anything we want with our golf club bags. Most of us have done it purely for, you know, initially it was always because you're playing with something. You're curious and you're playing with something. And that always develops into something else. And skill comes along with that. Also by sometimes not best. Go ahead. We build our guns. They're just handed a gun. They don't know anything about the inside. They don't know anything about it. They're just handed it. And it's an old one. It's shot out. Yeah. And that's another thing is, is, you know, everybody, let's reinforce this. Everybody's always said, man, we gotta get, you know, you want to get those government arsenal thingies. It's like, no, you don't. Have you ever seen what the government has in their arsenals? I mean, it doesn't mean we wouldn't take it if it was free, so to speak. But I've repeated this over and over again. All you guys out there have far superior arms. And I don't care who made it. I don't care how cheap it is. Your weapon is typically far better maintained and is in far better physical condition than the inventory of weapons that the government has available to deploy. Yeah, you paid good money for it. Most all of you know how to take care of it. I was one of the side bar things I had to do was physical inspection of arsenals. for facilities, you know, training all the physical security records and documentation on arms. You do a spot check on part of it, but you have to physically inspect everything top to bottom. You get to see everybody's weapons. Tens and tens and tens and tens and tens of thousands of weapons eventually. Now hundreds of thousands. And you know what? I mean, I'd take them. I mean, like I said, they were free, sure. If I had to issue them up, not a problem. But I'm not really impressed. It's good that we have them. But we have better. You guys all have better. And not as abused. Now, the big thing is we just don't have the mileage. We didn't put the mileage on them yet. But you got to remember, if you're going into conflict, if somebody else has a high mileage piece of equipment, its performance level is progressively going to degrade. On the other hand, you're on the low end of the Tic-O-Meter. So the weapon you're carrying is going to be serviceable for a very long period of time. And if we instill proper maintenance and perform proper PM replacement part policies are established. Guess what? We're not, our weapons aren't going to go down. Yeah, that's a double plus good thing. So this is why again, you need to embrace understanding every weapon system you can. First yours. No matter what, whatever you've got in that rack and you're listening right now, first thing you need to do is absolutely understand each weapon. And I don't care how minor it is or how significant it is. Every weapon you have are devices that you need to master. each weapon that you have available. That includes some of the oldest stuff in your inventory, because everything can be used. Remember, it's either going to be, it's really going to be bait or take. You're either going to use it to attract or convince somebody of, by misdirecting them, or you're going to use it on them because it's a IED kind of pull the trigger on it from a long distance with a string, or it's going to be a primary weapon system to use. Hello? Did we lose you? You lost Mark. Well, I'm still here. Can you hear me? Yeah. Okay. Affirmative, but hang on a minute. He'll come back in. He must have hit the wrong button. Well. Where's Ed? I hope he's listening. He's down there in Lubbock, Texas. Ed is. That's his boy. Maybe he's drilling on the right tooth. Man, they just faded him out big time. I wonder why. Well, you know, it's a planet crap who? Definitely, Planet Krapu. You got my 10-4 on that one. Yeah. Well, we do build most of our weapons. I mean, not myself, but, well, I do some. But people are building their own. They're buying, you know, the upper, and they're buying the lower, and they're putting it together. And we know more about what's going on with each individual weapon that we own. And that's really good. Well, it's important to know what you're running. Yes. My apprentice bills AKs and that's a lot harder than an AR. He does a pretty good job at it. You got extra trigger groups for the AKs and the SKS? No, I don't have anything like that. You know, like a friend of his will buy a parts kit and they'll get together and drink some beer. Put it together. Oh yeah. That's how you get to another weapon. They teach you in basic, you know. Field strip. Yeah. Make it apart, put it back together, blindfolded. Yeah. That's important. Well, field dressing or stripping only goes so far. Where, you know, don't touch that. That's only for the armorer. Well, we know how to go all the way down to the bigger you know, the hammer, the springs, and all of that. The extractor, we can take it all apart, but they won't let, you know, the average grunt, you know, disassemble the bolt carrier that much. Over. Yeah, that's true. You know, I read this PR report from the Air Force, a guy named, ah, shoot, I forgot what it was. Hang on a minute. It never ate as good as it used to be. What do you call them guys that run around the board?
