Brothers and my sisters, all out of them I've got a song My sisters, my sisters He took off his three-cornered hat We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny For future generations, this legacy we gave In this, the length of the grave The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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's number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep and dead. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave build the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the tower of the afternoon Intelligence report. I'm our kirky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West Southeast East and Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mb.com Liberty Tree Radio dot org And we're on satellite say hi to all our merchant marine operators and many ground operators for chilling everybody water on the planet and We're growing and doubling in several areas. I've had some response some very unique ways including individuals I know in merchant marine who give me a Handshake and said hey, you know what I heard the other day. It's pretty cool anyway, also a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States and It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 27th of September. It is the 15th year of Open Obvious and In Your Face Fabian Socialist. And boy, they're really out there. They're really, I mean they are out there in your face along with the Soviet socialists. Again, 2023, old earth calendar. Damn it, Jeff. I'm a doctor. I'm not a broke Mason. 2023, Battle for the Republic. The Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue. Its weapons Wednesday. We're getting rained on. It'll all day just like yesterday. It'll look like it actually wanted to give us some fall rains. Well, officially fall rains. But meh, it held off with some spitting yesterday. Right now we have a perfect soaker rain going on. The grass just started to get a little crispy. Finally, it was an August dry in late September. But still not gone. In other words, grass is an old dead or whatever, but this rain will just pick it right back up. So probably have to mow one more time. And it also is breathing life into all of our plants that are in their last gas dash before the frost hits that are in the gardens. And we have this fascinating squash plant that came up. We did different squash. And we did pumpkin, and this neither looks like pumpkin nor does it look like the squash we planted. So this is rather fascinating. However, this plant is a monster. And I'm going to do what we, if I can figure out what breed this is. I'm actually going to do a combination like this next year in that I had a tomato breed, which is called the 100s. You've probably seen them at one point or another. Also, there are the great tomato families out there too. Now, the hundreds, every time you pick them, they double production. You pick them again, it doubles production. But also, the plant gets bigger. So here's what's interesting is this squash plant came up amongst the tomatoes that are in buckets. I do bucket gardening with this particular plot. And everything is phenomenal. Production was great, except for the weird thing that happened with the other 100 plants I mentioned a few days ago on the air. And it still hasn't changed. They're still producing, but it's absolutely minimal for those plants. And I don't know why they're isolated, whatever. But these others are in another corner, the opposite corner where the other 100s are. Two things have happened, because it's fighting and competing with these broadleaf squash blooms. There's the blooms themselves, which are massive. I'd say they're about eight inches around when they first pop out. Which, by the way, are edible if you didn't know that. All of the pumpkin and squash blooms are edible. You can deep fry them, whatever you want to do. If you're hungry, you're in the field, you're moving, you're starving. If you had to grab some of those on the way through, if you're moving, they are quite nutritious and they're fully edible. But what's interesting is that because of these blooms, the usually prolific 100 has quadrupled in size in terms of the bush. more than one. And in fact, they have produced and produced and produced and produced. Right now I went out today and blooms that were, well I should say clusters that were blooms a day and a half ago are small berry tomatoes right now. I have not seen these plants, these plants produce fast but they produce even faster. And what it is, is there's a competition for space So that whole corner is occupied. I think Nancy is taking pictures and putting them on her Facebook page. But the leaf itself is big, okay? It is a very aggressive plant. It should be. Most gourds are, most pumpkins are, given the opportunity, they're fantastic food producers. Now, on the one hand, I'm getting four times the tomatoes off these plants that I normally see. Number two is because the squash is fighting with the tomato plants apparently. What's happened is I'm getting a phenomenal number of late fruit popping out and they're developing very quickly. Now the plants are getting good water. The soil is, eh, not impressed with the soil, but the soil that all of them are growing in are things that I created. So it's okay, it's good soil, but there's nothing special that we did. But I will, if I can save, and I will save as many of the seeds for this quarter as we can, I'm actually gonna try to reproduce this next year, but with more particular care towards making the tomatoes even more interlocked and accessible so that there's a, again, a better way to access, because the only problem with the growth here is it intertwines. I don't wanna damage either plant, but I can reach in and get a whole lot of goodies out of them, and oh, the flavor, mone, you. Nancy is cooking she is cooking some downstairs right now as I speak because I'm after our fact So we have a caller who do we have? It starts back? Question for you That white pumpkin that lived in your kitchen for two years. Do you still have seeds from that? In fact, we do In fact, I've been going you sequester maybe ten of them for me. I'd be grateful I think we'll be able to do that We might actually have one from this year because we did plant some of those And I don't know, again, we'll get just maybe enough time for whatever reason if produced late. Like I said, we had some odd things happen with some of the plants. But yes, we'll do that. I'll make a point. We've got a farm stand down here that has a whole tractor flat cart full of white pumpkins. And I was going to try and get a hold of them, one of them anyway. and see if I could reproduce your success with longevity. As a matter of fact, if they last as long, then obviously more seeds are available. Right, buy a couple anyway. I'll cover the cost on one, because one produces a massive amount of seed. And the way I see it right now is more is better. I'd also like to see how that works. Well, traditional pie pumpkin and obviously the white breed that we have are a phenomenal storage pumpkin. You know, the storage gourd. They're all in the gourd family. And what's fascinating is we have had really good luck. Now part of this is we did invest in and have for quite a few years heritage breed seeds. And we mentioned again making it to the different seed swaps that they have in the middle of Michigan up towards Midland. We've gone up there more than a few times. This last time I did get a good selection but I didn't get a chance to put some of them in the ground. And so I am sorely tempted to start them and keep them going through the winter because they don't want the seeds to get too old. These seeds were a gift from one of the guys who was a swapper. He was giving them out because he said, well, I've had these on the shelf for a little longer. They will produce, but again, I don't know what the percentage will be. And why are we talking pumpkins? Guys, traditionally, pumpkin was a military ration. Most people, you don't realize that, but it was a low ration. It was a quarter of a pumpkin. And one half of a rasher of bacon was the issue to the individual. Now what you did with that, along with whatever else you scavenged or knew how to glean from the field, if you knew what you were looking for, would determine how fancy your cuisine might be. But traditionally a whole pumpkin was issued, if you were full rationed, and a full rasher of bacon. or a quarter rasher, yet again, meat was the big thing. That was the tough part. But why pumpkin? It transports well, it's self-contained, and virtually everything on the pumpkin can be eaten, even the skin. And if you're starving, you will. Now, the other important thing was the fact that it could be, like I've said about many things, we don't do this anymore, but everything used to be barreled. Now, I challenge you to go do a little research on traditional barreling and how it was done because different products required different handling. And it's interesting to note that even the use of different woods, obviously, sugar woods for storing certain items, and what do I mean by sugar woods? Well, example, fruit woods like apple, even pear tree. Pear is kind of soft, but it's those apples really. But using that to produce a what is a sugar-based wood or maple for instance is another one. Maple is a good solid wood. Those are preferred for any of the high fruit or high storage products like this. Interestingly enough, oak barrels are very common. Oaks because it was resilient. It's like anything else. A product is more resilient. It is more popular. Now, in certain cases, when it comes to kegging, because you know all about whiskey or about wine, kegging, there's a whole science to that. It's separate, both in the thickness of the walls of the barrels, because remember, you have to move this stuff. And if you make a fluid or a syrup or you make a salted material, remember salt's not light, salted pork, salted fish, salted beef, take your pick, go down to the shopping list. First of all, you have the mass of the food, plus you're literally adding rock. I mean, granted it's ground and you're sprinkling and you're layering. They didn't have any of the materials, well they didn't, I can't say that for correction, correction. They did have a basic cheesecloth, which is a very fine mic... It's not a micro weed by our standards, but back in the day guys, cheesecloth was a phenomenal product that was used for pretty much everything and anything you can imagine from medical in terms of the material itself through to food processing. So you would actually use cheesecloth and layer rather than today where you'd use say saran wrap or you'd have any number of other types of materials that we use to separate the layers of the food product. Back in the day it was the layer of cheesecloth along with the salt. The cheesecloth was natural fiber, remember cotton. Although I get, I believe linseed was also used by the way, linseed flax. And for the same reason, layering the meat to keep it separated. It allowed it not to, well it did breathe, but not when you would think like, it's airy like I'm drying food in an air dryer. But the idea was to keep it separate so that you wouldn't have molting, et cetera, take place to offer the salt to work. With pumpkins, again it would be bulk, but normally they would be barreled in conjunction with another gourd, interestingly enough. Why? Well, because pumpkins are round and other gourds are not. And so you got to remember, you're trying to make money off that barrel. So usually the good thing about that is that if you had pumpkin as a ration, you usually had something else coming with it. You didn't do any special processing. All it was is barreled and sealed. And, you know, again, the idea was to at least allow for enough breathing. So these were not what we would call watertight systems for all of them. They were air secured so that there is just a moisture repellent but not perfectly air sealed. Because again you got to move this stuff. Now if you have a root cellar, gourds, pumpkins, white pumpkins like Darvish is talking about these. Interestingly enough we've had them on the shelf. We've got one right now that's actually, we were just talking about eating as a matter of fact because wow it's been on the shelf for a year and a quarter. and hasn't broken down, hasn't deteriorated. We know exactly what it was picked just about. And I mean, I won't say I could just stop watch. Well, Mark, I knew you took it at 1245.55. No, we don't want a certain day, a year and a quarter ago when we picked it, but it's still shelf stable. No, nothing special was done. Now that is what we're going to need more of. Now most of the Indian or native Midwestern gourd crops, the traditionals, were designed specifically for that purpose. However, here's the two things you still had to deal with. Back then they didn't have as many cool ways to store stuff as we do as far as keeping critters out. Number one, mice and other rodents. Number two, insects. One good thing, pumpkins are pretty well resilient, don't seem to be affected by bugs while they're in storage. However, as mice get hungrier through the winter, your food stores become theirs if they can get to it. Nibble, nibble like a mouse who is nibbling on my house, or in this case, maybe in my root cellar. and or again grating which that's why the barrels were used is so that you could actually keep the critters out they might still nibble through but it was a lot easier to get to other stuff they used to be that even with the Indians they would actually do what was called a sacrifice storage where they had a certain amount of material that if they got to it they got to it if they had overage they would do everything they could to store keep all their food because you didn't know how long a winter was going to be and winter is what you're trying to survive So, what's interesting though is, if you don't have any of the Indian cooking cookbooks, which I have a lot of here, you might recall I brought up a subject that, well, the natives understood that mice were around and they were going to steal stuff. So, they had a delightful recipe for a mouse on a stick. Everybody's like, what? It's like, whoa, the mouse has been eating your gourds and maybe got some of your corn sacrificed. And so later in the winter, you're kind of thin on food. Maybe you can't get out because the snow is too deep, but you can still have meat. You get the mouse, you take a small stick skewer, you put the stick through the dead mouse, and then you put the mouse. Wait a minute, don't you got it? Nope, nope, you don't got it. It says right in the recipe. Nope. In fact, you don't even skin it. You take the mouse, you put it on the skewer, you put it in the fire, roast it until it's crispy on the outside to your delight. And then go to town and have some roast mouse. Yes, that includes roast mouse guts, everything else attached. But the fur gets burned off in the fire, so don't worry, you're not going to be having to pick, you know, mouse nibble, you know, fur from between the teeth, in theory. And you've got to remember- And the fur is cooked at that point, right? Yeah, apparently. Well, again, you see, we're thinking, we don't think to where things go. That was in a normal business day, so to speak, in the native populations environment. Later in the winter, I mean, no matter how hard you try, you probably got, you know, kind of thin on food. Now, I'm going to say this about the person who took all of these recipes out of the old Voyager books and many others. She pointed out that, well, I tried the mouse and I guess I could eat it if I needed to or if I was hungry enough, but it just didn't seem like I was going to finish that mouse. That's the way I feel about eggs. Yeah, well, eggs, you have to live with them. But the my soydigs if I have to eat them I will but my preference would be no, thank you But we we will be having many creatures laying the eggs. We will have to use the eggs. We will have to so We'll just we'll just put them in something else. Don't worry. We'll mix them with something else. Yeah, everybody loves okay? Our girls can cook we know that at least why can't so One of the other things real quick on this note since you get food storage, with the pumpkin, remember you get two, if need be although you try to avoid this, we've talked many times about it, with pumpkin you get pumpkin seeds. Everything that you would normally scrape out would be put into the pot by the way. I know that's like, well it's like stringy and stuff, yeah. But when you put it in the pot and put it in the stew, first what you do is you scrape everything out, separate the seeds. Take a cleaning knife, chop up all of that innards. That goes into two things. You can either do that with a cornbread fry with peppers, like hot peppers, whatever you want, jalapenos. Also, you can add a small amount of meat. And it is basically an old voyage here menu of a meal that was common in the field when they were on the move. And the seeds could be saved. Now remember we talked about this, all seeds, any gourd seed. And you know I said this about, no pumpkin oil. Nobody does it now, but all of the gourd seeds produce cooking oil, produce oil. And in turn produce, obviously as I just mentioned, cooking oil. See this is one of the things that's gonna disappear very, very quickly. You know most people are not ready for it. And even if you do store cooking oil, Well, the problem you've got is there is a clock ticking on it, and yes, it can go rancid. Now, there are a number of tricks that are old tricks for shelf stable, but without special processing to keep your oils longer, but they're not going to keep indefinitely. There's a lot of people talking about lard again. and the advantages of it. It's another process that everybody needs to be looking at. I'm fascinated that somebody's finally realizing, wow, this is probably a depression that we're in, or we're working on it. And if and when they hit the switch, it will be a depression. And one of the things that all these little tricks of the trade, well, you don't use them all the time, but if you end up in a survival escape and evasion situation against the police state, the idea is to not make contact with anyone. and to know how to take full advantage of the resources that are readily available at your fingertips. Now, if you're in the field and you're in an isolated location, all the things we're talking about can be developed and done. Planning isn't that difficult. One nice thing about, I've even had, well, I've even had this discussion for a very long time as part of the SOP is to actually carry seeds, but not for the reason you might think. more like the Ranger policy of the old Ranger policy of camp encampments is if it's the beginning of the season you carry a certain amount of squash, a certain number of whatever, gourd, squash, corn, a combination of both and if you have what is considered a rustic Ranger pass camp this would be a place where in the process of you moving through an area, infiltrating and exfiltrating. You plant a small mound of corn and squash around the corn and you leave it. Now, what's its survival rating? Well, everything wants to nibble on your goodies, first of all. So it's a toss of the coin. However, if you read the accounts of Rangers and Voyagers going cross-country through what was called the impassable west, which is where I'm sitting right now, Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, These voice your posts basically you left a certain amount of material and equipment sometimes up to it even including tools. They would leave always a shelter usually was a lean to type that was well built. Everybody that was in the group, the team knew where it was and it was usually isolated. You pick the location allowed you to observe but not be seen. You don't want to be out exposed. And then you always collected a certain amount of firewood and left it concealed. Everything was secreted. But the food, the idea behind this is during the early season, everybody took their turn planting. They used what basically was a steak marker so that you knew where something was so that if somebody had already planted it and you inspected it and looked at, oh, it's growing, then you don't use your seed in that location unless it looks like it needs to be, you know, there needs to be supplemental planning. What was the purpose behind this? Well, there's a possibility that as you'd be passing back through the area or any time you would, you didn't get greedy because you're all in the same team, you're all working together, you're all allies. As you pass through, you would take what you needed while you were on the site. If you depleted the firewood, you replaced the firewood, concealing it as it was secreted before. You would even be cautious about how you collected the firewood, but you would have active food. Now here's the other thing. Let's not forget, and I've talked about this many times. For instance, they would promote and find other wild edibles and grow them in the area. I ran into a spot that I know, it's up in the old section by Lewiston, Michigan. And there is an area there, now part of this is because people actually outpost there, so there were cherry orchards. And now those cherry trees are ancient, most of them are probably dead. Maybe they're children, but when I was little, these cherry trees were the, they were not wild cherry, these were not choke cherry trees. These were actual cherry trees that had grown up in the woods, and they were planted for the reason that we're talking about. It was part of basically an outpost drop and it is historically known that it was used. It was a combination of the woodsman slash the lumber men and also the local poachers. And it was very famous actually for the people who are in the know locally. So something like this is what you should be thinking ahead for. We're late in the season, like for instance up here where we are in the north, you wouldn't be planting anything now. The only thing that you might take into consideration is doing some quick radish seed, but it probably won't even have a time to really develop in any way because everything from a radish can be eaten. But for instance you come through and you identify where there's raspberry bushes. You promote the raspberry bushes. You literally make little cossps of bushes. Are you gonna be there every time that those berries are there? Nope. You're counting on the idea this is not just for you. This is for the people who are of like mind to you. And as we pass through the area, we have a certain degree of creature comfort. That is brotherhood. That is how men used to think and we do right now. We should be in everything we're doing. Yes, it benefits me, but the overall effort, the mutual liberty interest, the mutual defense interest is such that we think for the long haul, we think for the effort of the whole and we all benefit because you might be there when I need you. I probably will be there when I need you. So it's a real good idea to make sure that we take care of each other and this is how they did it. A ranger, by the way, a ranger cache, we're not talking, the modern ranger, the term ranger in the army comes from the traditional rangers. And in a ranger cache, you would actually have, if you were part of a particular brotherhood, let me say more than that, but if you were a certain brotherhood, then you traditionally would even leave arms, tools, as I mentioned earlier, example, shovels were worth a fortune. a pickaxe was worth a fortune. And yet, what they would do is if they were able to trade or procure, remember they also went to war, so you probably had booty at one time or another where you beat the enemy, you had more than you needed, you either sold it, unfortunately in some cases for booze, or you were smart and you kept it and it became part of what you would let everybody know is, you know, they'll see the northern Huron cash. Let's just call it that at the headwater off the headwater of the Huron by Portage Lake and portage Lake or Lake Du Portage. There we go. So anyway The cache was there you would move to the area Peach Mountain could be seen from a great distance You voyage in you observe and then you take and shoot an azimuth based upon you're either reading the Sun or actually having a compass and and you move towards rather than where everybody else is congregating, a location away from that allows you to observe activity in the area, but be unobserved when it comes to your activity. Then you have a safe place that's secure to stay, you have overhead cover, you bring all the rest of your essentials, you're minimalists, but you bring all the rest of your essentials, you establish camp. Once you've consumed you resupply what's been consumed or 10 to what needs to be fixed and then you pack up you leave your mark by the way, remember you had like what were basically a Liberty Pole or a totem which was nearby and The mark let someone know that mark was there Leave your mark leave your leave your hash your your dash your fear or whatever it was and then you moved on Mark may not be alive next year. Mark was here a month ago. I can tell there is the number there is the month. Mondeux, Mark was been around but I did not see Mark. Mark, remember that Mark is in French. Mondeux. So anyway, again, ideas, because we have to be thinking the same way. This is why when you do caches, we're talking, we've been talking, we're going to war. There's no doubt. By the way, I'm gonna switch for a second. Has anybody been watching the court proceedings for this bullshit down in Georgia with Trump? Anybody? Has anybody watched what they were doing just a few hours, like an hour ago? I just randomly passed through Nancy's hat and on. I've been working like, you know, I've been running like, like to know tomorrow, I mean, with regard to old stuff we're getting done today. I'm really happy I got a lot done. But I came in and the, the old egregious, arbitrary, no real rules judge you know the requirements that if what what what is laid upon the defense and what is laid upon the prostitutes the demonstration is between night and and next week's day not even night and day next week we're talking it is so alien and this POS and all this kangaroo crap going on is so obviously a skew That there is no doubt. The prosecutors get to use hand-drawn cartoons as evidence and the actual video evidence that Trump has is disregarded, that type of bad. Who says you're going to be allowed to have evidence if you're the defense? Who says you're going to be allowed to see what the prosecutor has? This is open discussion right now. Go watch some of this from today's proceedings. The defense has to register, has to apply for request permission for evidence. 14 days, if they're gonna bring in a special witness, 14 days in advance. But any of the witnesses that the horrors and the prostitute-er signs bring forward, they have only 24 hours before they're brought into the court to actually review anything that's going to be interviewed. To interview. They're doing the same thing with the Jayce guys, Mark. They're giving them their discovery like the day of the trial and saying, okay, here's your discovery. Let's go to trial. You're guilty. What that tells you is, as I've said before, and you know, I don't say this very often, but I'm going to tell you, you better up shooting their ass. That's just all there is to it. Everybody better step back and contemplate their belly button on this. You do I'm gonna say this there's people that have walked away and they're not talking about been bragging that they've scooped them back up But there's a bunch of people who have walked away from this January 6BS, which is again Oh, they don't like cuz of course, I make you a criminal. No, they're making you a warrior. I'm making a criminal I wouldn't make me a criminal. I could care less about these bastards anymore. To be quite honest, as far as I'm concerned, they have become so grossly overt in criminal nature and action and in their their their confidence that virtually we are facing the exact same enemy we faced in 1775, 1773, 1770, 1765. The same excrement, the same kosher turds, all the rest, the same Admiralty filth. And you know what, if you watch this, most people never spend time in a courtroom. Now I've seen this myself already, so trust me, it's not like, oh wow, I've never seen this before. Yes, we have. But what I am fascinated by is the level of arrogance in public venue against someone in the higher strata. It doesn't make any difference if we like Trump or not, guys. This level of arrogance is typical of the communist bravura in preparation for the red terror. We have to kill them. We have to kill them all. I'm sitting here with Alexander Solzhenitsyn's books and every night here I've read some of the oldest works that he did. But I also would remind you, Solzhenitsyn constantly reinforced we should have killed them. Remember that one, most popular by everybody, it's about a paragraph, it's, oh how we burned in the camps realizing that we had nothing to lose. And if when the mass arrests had taken place, as in Leningrad and Kev. Instead of cowering at every bump at the door and every creek in the stairway we had waited in the hallways and the stairwells with cudgels and bludgings, the wretched machine for lack of, despite its thirst, would have ground to a halt. The wretched machine for lack of operatives and equipment would have ground to a halt. Solzhenitsyn will tell you over and over through his works we should have killed them and you need to get rid of them. If you allow them to proceed, what will happen is what happened to us. That's what he is writing about and you cannot let that happen. It is you must go pretty... And for anybody that doesn't already know, go to archive.org or go to YouTube and look up the checkest. And you will see what it was like during the red purge of the Russian people. Yeah, they never stopped. The graphic, full frontal noodle-y and getting shot in the head quite a bit. So that's just how they just took them off, took everything from them, laid them up against a wall and boom, five at a time. So this is the... Do you watch that? And that's what's coming here. I guarantee you if it's not already going on behind the scenes. I think it is to a degree. I think that it's just like that. We already have the child taking. I don't believe that most of those children died in the fire in Hawaii. I think that it was like so many overlapping elements. I believe that just these people work in fire, okay? Example, when the Branch Davidians were attacked the last day, the vehicles went into the building. The the Satanic Delta Force people who were willing to operate came in. They came in with full NBC. They carried weapons. They got dropped off inside the building when the smoke and everything was going on after tons and tons of CS virtually turned the air yellow and they shot people in the back of the heads under the logic that nobody would figure out that these shooters would be coming into the building like this. The APCs created the diversion. The hatch door opened up. The shooters came out. That's why they kept saying, everybody shot themselves in it. No, they didn't. If they were shot in the head, They were murdered by the Delta Force personnel that went in. And the only good thing I can say is a whole bunch of those asshats were killed or died in the process of trying to murder every woman and child in that building and man that they could find. Because their job was to execute everybody there. In the midst of a burning building and fire that they created people. So if you think that, well, what would they grab the kids while they're doing the fire thing? Yes, that's exactly a perfect cover. Come with us, we're gonna save you. And away they go, and they're gone forever. Down the road where they're gonna be stored at Okra Wimpies and the other satanic pedo queer sites, well, they didn't get hit by the fires at all. And they even had their own firemen on standby ready to fight the fires, but piss on everybody else. Hey Mark, I have heard rumors and I need to do some more I need to do some more reach on it but apparently there are school buses also missing and You can get I think a standard school bus holds like 48 or 50 kids Guarantee you can jam a lot more in there if you need to So I need to do some more research and find out if it's a legitimate thing that there are buses missing as well as the children over In reverse, okay, of what we saw with the Branch Davidians, they come in and they're murdering people, they're executing people, walk up behind them in the fog, and the logic is if you're the shooter, okay, let me give you an example of how this works. When you go in, you're told that if you debark in the main hall, you're the only one gonna be there, anybody that's there, you shoot them, they're enemy. They're men, women, or kids that the government want to execute. That's why it takes time before somebody finally realizes wait a minute when none of our people are dressed like that bang bang bang Okay, which I hope to God happened Well, we know that that at least six seven of them were killed at least of the shooters of our remaining were dropped into the building We also saw some of the walk out of the second floor in the mop gear and in the gas mask with their weapons from the floor Okay now reverse this You have a click of a cultist whose job it is to, you know, again, last you up all of these child victims for the pedo-queer-satanic occult crap going on. They come up to the door, they beat on the door, the fire's right here! You think any of the kids would argue? Of course, after that, the horrific deaths that are put upon them by the same trash that was there to help them, helped them right on down the road. Right on down the street, Oprah's place didn't get touched at all. And Okra went to Epstein Island many times. Also, what happened to Okra's kids over there in Africa that she was sponsoring some kind of a thing for young girls and the young girls went missing. Same thing with the Queen of England. She did the same darn thing. How could this thing, how could these things happen in the modern world? For a while here, well, here's the thing. Again, this is why we're on the edge. I mean, as it is, we have been for quite some time. Anything could kick this off. And there are points where they felt they could surge forward. Everybody that I know in its operation right now is hunting for the other side. Everybody's looking for them. This isn't a one-sided affair by any stretch of the imagination. Everybody that is in the know is now on the lookout for what's coming next and they're looking for it. They're gonna ride up on you and grab you. Well, they may ride up, but they're not gonna grab anybody. They're gonna ride up and p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p You want to talk? Say hello to my little friend. Yeah, that's where everything is. In fact, like I said, the biggest concern I will tell you good people again is you're going to want to catch. Well, you're going to want to retain some of them for a little while because you want to know exactly what's going on and who sent them and however long it takes to get the information out of them should be minimal. But you should be expediting it in whatever with whatever. Tools are necessary with those that you allow to survive. Well, I have no kindness These craters are on the these people are burning the country down and they're doing it through through the bureaucracy and because of that all of these bastards Need to be gone. Look what's happening at the border. Is there anybody doubting that the border is collapsed? Nope. Is there anybody? I can argue that this next time I'm trying to jam stuff in here because I got to get on the road. And the Border Patrol was the next group to go down and start cutting up the razor wire and stuff. And I believe it was the area where the Texas people came in and fixed it. They didn't send the FBI down this time. They sent the Border Patrol agents to cut the wire. By the way, do you know, do you recall the recent photos that we viewed? I ran those through the software. Oh, it's a whole new level. After the person involved gets involved, I know we'll probably get all the you and let you know very interesting over and he goes that's why I need a bigger gun. Well, there's there's some aspects to it that make me think that The little furry creatures that there wasn't just one or two but that there was a whole string of them Right, and I don't necessarily mean that they were wearing brown fur. They might have been wearing canvas fur. But like I said, we'll play along a little bit and we'll see where it comes out. I'm still working on it. Again, one of the things to remember, we have a lot of technology we're using and the thing is that when you're first installing, well, even when you're... we've had more stuff that we've collected by accident in the process of installation than you might imagine. And it's fascinating again for everybody out there, trail cams especially. The one thing, the problem with trail cam, you have to go out and recover it. Certainly, well, you don't have to know the correction, correction. It depends on what you invest your money in. You can buy what are basically static trail cams, or you have to go out and recover the disc, recover whatever. But yes, you do have wireless now, and you do, or hard line, and I do really believe in hard line. You know that, I've talked about this before. But for most of the threats, by the time they realize that you actually are observing, it's too late for them to do anything about it. So wireless is useful, but it is a known technology if it's a more aggressive or sophisticated enemy. However, we also change things up. I do security lighting changes every night. I should mention that also. It's Weapons Wednesday. All of you are a capability to observe. There are things that we don't change. We're at the end of the season for all of this solar yard lighting that's out there. Most of it isn't very useful. It's pretty. But it's not useful because it really isn't designed to survive well in a total climate change environment from spring to summer to fall to winter. But the simple little bonnet type yard lights at Dollar Tree cells, they come in black or silver, then they also come seasonally in Halloween things, or they come in red, white, and blue. I got a bunch of red, white, and blue ones because they were tail end, and I cleared them out for the Dollar Tree that was locally here. But what do I use those for? I've mentioned this many times. Those are aiming states. I know exactly the distance from any point where you might have to engage a target to that particular light. Those lights don't change, those don't move. Others, I constantly change. You can't have a regular plan about how you're going to walk through an area. Now granted, it's not that big an area, so you can rush through, but with the camera technologies and white lighting, especially white ground lighting, and using the camera systems properly at a particular height, there isn't any possibility for you to move through the area without being seen. And I don't have to necessarily have specialized infrared illumination to get it done. It doesn't mean I don't have that. It's not a big deal to take, especially when you get a bunch of these Dollar Tree or Menards, actually even. The Menards ones are actually a better quality, though it's from the same stinking company that makes the ones from Dollar Tree if you look it up. Interestingly enough, they're both good products, under a dollar or about a dollar a piece or a dollar 25. The first thing you can do is you can disassemble an older one, which is how I sacrifice rather than taking new ones that I just bought. I take older ones, you open up the circuit, you desolder the little, it ain't much solder, so it's not hard to do, but you desolder the white LED. install an infrared LED, which you can get from any number of scientific or electrical supplies. Right now I got one, it was a bundle of 500 infrared LEDs for $4.27. Big bubble bag, big pillow bag. I mean, I got more than I need. Well, use them all. But I do switch some of those out to IR and plant those in different locations. They can't be seen with the naked eye. If you are coming through at night vision though, you very quickly would realize, wait a minute, I count a lot of these. Somebody pops up their night vision, looks around, half of what's out there can't be seen with the naked eye. Wait a minute, that means that, oh. The only reason I'd want IR is because we're using night vision and night vision camera technology to observe the tactical area. Now guys, we're talking bargain basement solutions that actually work quite well. Again, very reasonably priced. Nothing outrageous. I'll go to the Dollar Tree, but for lighting example, how far apart are all of your fence posts? You put an LED yard light on each one. Wire it, screw it, whatever you're gonna do so it stays upright. And you know that if you're trying to guesstimate, I'm looking through the device, my night scope or even my conventional optical scope, and I see them, okay, that's station one. I'm gonna point out, you know, I've even done this, depending on the location, I actually have a board out there facing the house. What is it? It's got a number on it. What's the number? That's the actual range. Some of you have seen the ones on the south field where if you look across from the property you will see a board. It says 126. Well it's not a random number. It's 126 yards to that board. Why? Well if you'll notice there's LED lighting and it's also spread out uniformly because it's on every fence post. I can first ID specific range and then I can guesstimate because you'll say the fence line is not an angle. I know what the specific distances are between the two fence posts. I've got them illuminated. I see a target at a greater range or a lesser range. I can do the mental math and Kentucky windage the target out the rest of the way at night. You're going to say I can see without a problem. I mean granted, if you can see them, they can see you so you can be shot. At night, with the present infrared and with present starlight the way it is, needless to say it's still true. But there's an equal opportunity dying time adventure going on now. With the defender having a bit of an advantage because we have prepared the area of contact to be more friendly to our condition. I don't have to guesstimate my ranges. Well certainly again as you become a professional you're using your weapons every night. We know all about that. Well, yeah, but we've already again pretty well now use our weapons number one But we're applying this simple technology to reduce time to target probability first first hits very high So again jump give me ideas. Hopefully you think about how you can use LED yard lighting Do you have the stuff that's moved around is so that anything where you try to make a plan doesn't do you any good? Variance and lighting doesn't necessarily mean that I've changed the infrared that much, but I do also change the infrared up at the same time. When I walk out, go to work on something, I'll pick two, three lights, move them to another location, always to enhance and take advantage of an area that I put in question. I think, well, we definitely know that it'll be probably coming up under this tree line. So we do this for a day, the solar, because we're really also dealing with solar. It's only good, it's going to probably retain a certain build-up of energy for about a day. It's going to have diminished if it's up under canopy. So what you do is you leave it for that day, you know, at night, you know it's going to be good, then you move it again. Get it out in the open, take another one, move it to another similar location, not far off the other, but very different from the first. Again, ideas, not just complaining about the problems. And then, well, they'll do this, or they'll do, they'll drop a bomb, or they'll do the nuke, or they'll do a, yeah, whatever. Okay, in the meantime, I'm gonna do everything I can to control my area of operation. I recommend you do the same. If you're motivated, you get to work on this. And even if you do just a little bit, guys, a little bit goes a long way, but, you know, for instance, somebody goes, I only have so much money. Go over to a Dollar Tree, buy five of the lights, Now I will say this before I go any farther, when you buy solar, no matter what it is, I just bought a pile of the new, the flagpole lights. The best solar spotlight out there, but for cost, are the flagpole illumination lights. Why? Because they have to work from, they're supposed to work from sunset to sunrise. Now they might be tired by the time they get to sunrise, but they are a typically there's a little more money spent on the components Not much, but there's a little more money spent and I've owned every spotlight that's out there and everyone I'm using right now are from the cheapest of the most expensive Only a one or two of the most expensive. We know better anymore. They're not that better made but the flagpole solar lights they run all night that a figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and 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 and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of 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 in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, build the land of the free and home of the brave? And gentlemen, this is the second hour of the Afternoon Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Courtney. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, northwest, southwest, and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. libertytreeradio.org and we are on satellite. We're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. We'll say hi to all our CB base stations out there. They're testing channel 31 and channel 24. In the greater central Michigan area right now, the crew are, well actually a couple of them are retired, I didn't know this, they actually are finished with their commercial work, so the guys are now doing radio installation allied for the militia and patriot movement as they can all over the state through the week. So I want to say thank you to Frank and the crew for what they're doing and also for Buddy. The guys have been at this for a very long time and they're now working at finishing, you know, dotting all the I's and crossing all the T's in certain locations. We went through in a couple of Death March installations here over the last year to get as much done as possible. Now they're going back through and they're cleaning things up, finishing certain areas with additional radios, putting more math up, etc., and more antennas, obviously. So good work there. It is Weapons Wednesday, it is the 27th of September. It is the 15th year of Open Obvious and in your face Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K2023 older calendar, 2023 Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue. We're going to make sure the music is played. We're going to be the ones determining the music to be played. Just that simple. Again, a couple of things I wanted to talk about today. I've noticed there's a flurry of piss on the M14. There's always this. This keeps everybody busy. It's kind of like, I love Chevy, I love Ford, I love Chrysler. We hate you all. I hate Ford, I hate Jim. Ooh, I hate Chrysler, I hate Ford. It's like, well, well, well, back up. We dislike, maybe, or we have, it's not so much dislike, but you like more the other stuff that you're doing, okay? I have always on that let me give you an example of cars. I love Chrysler's I've always loved Chrysler's I also know that's a misery to work on Chrysler electrical an Absol they they bought licorice a Licorice coating for their electronics trust me. I'm telling you okay, and who could forget mother famous sound of Chrysler starters can I do it for you? Anybody remember that Chrysler it's 318, 360, 440. I don't care what it was. What? I don't know where they bought. I don't know where they got the idea, but whatever it is, however they had to with the patent, the copyrights, whatever. They had to buy what they had to buy and they wouldn't build anything else. What scared me the most years ago with that is they had, I had a company in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was the guys long out of business, but he used to rewind motors and he did rebuilt starters and he started making his own brand of starter for everything Ford, Chrysler and GM. So I bought one and bought it because yeah, the price is good too. I put it in the car. I turned the starter. I turned the can. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa It started up and it's like, boom, this is blowing my car! And it's running, I mean, boom, boom, boom, you know. And so it's got that good, dimmy sound. Okay, it's not broken. I stop it. I start it again. Boom. Okay, it worked. But it didn't sound like it should. It didn't have the Chrysler wine. Anyway, so just a heads up. Why am I saying that? Well, see, whoa! the app about the M14, you'll notice something that the same people won't do. They may bring the M1 Garand up, but all of the arguments they're using about pissing on the M14 are the arguments that you would then have to use on the M1 Garand, which by the way, well, no, you can't do that because it's classy, you're going to need them, blah, blah, blah. Oh, wait a minute. Okay, for instance, the operating system between, if you know how to use a Garand, if you have an army and it all used the M1 Garand, Do you know how quick it is to switch over to the M14? Which was the logic when they actually did what they did. I know the politics of the NATO choice and rifle, the rifle we chose. Now the FNFAL, the AR-10 and all the history of that. And then also the pre-rewritten history because now they're coming up with all kinds of BS or they're trying to exclude other stuff and they're trying to make so they can sell more books I guess. I don't know. Understand there are two things. No matter how they look at it, no matter what argument they had, understanding how to build the parts, even when you change the parts, it is a significant benefit to have already gained so much experience because of a couple of decades of production, okay? You're tool and die people, all your machine operators all have a great deal of experience, so they're not gonna have any hard time relating to, and you have very little downtime towards transition, number one. No matter what they try to baffle everybody with BS on that. Hold on just a second. So the big thing about this is that all the arguments you see that they argue about the downs of the of the M14 would have to be the same downs for the grant in terms of basic use. Okay. Now one of the things I've noticed they keep pointing out and even put it into different programs. What the hell what bullshit program is they're watching? There's an excerpt from, I think it's Call Saul, the guy who plays Mike, okay? And he's going out to buy some illicit guns from the illicit gun trade and he gets into some, you know, the guy's offering an M14. M21 sniper package basically is what it's built to be kind of. And he makes some little comment about, well, the wood stock and the Vietnam and the wood stocks war up and this. Well, let me ask you something. Do you think that, okay, the walnut stocks on the M14 got wet and were, you know, getting torqued on occasion, not always, but on occasion, in Vietnam. So what do you think the Garand was doing in the South Pacific? What do you think the Garand did? By the way, we were in Siam, we were in Thailand, we were in South Vietnam when it was Indochina with the Garand and the Carpe. What do you think was doing to those stocks? But you'll never hear that. Well, wait a minute, because, well, we had to fight through with them, right? And we used them, and we used them quite well. We never made a tropical stock for the Garand, but we fought from Guadalcanal with the Johnson and the Garand. We fought in Guadalcanal all the way through the rest of the most horrid parts of the Pacific that were absolute tropical rainforest. Not just Vietnam, and saltwater. Oh, don't forget saltwater. Oh, which ain't great for stocks either. And yet we fought on and nobody tells you how all that grand was such a piece of junk because it had a wood stock But then all of a sudden we get to this era here with the m14 the evil wood stock on the import Okay, now I I had a I've got tropical stocks I've got when I was issued we had I'd say 50% of the m14s we had on the shelf had the plastic tropical stock because that's what had been issued before the end of the war Vietnam War and There were tons of them laying around so they put them on half the rifles over there At least that's what it ended up on. And we have, what, 500, 614s in the racks. You know what, I can probably do the one off the shelf and dodge your ass at 300 yards every day with nauseous repetition. And at 700 yards, I would still dodge your hind end with nauseous repetition, and not with optics, with iron sights. So, and that was in the M14. Now, do I, have I not handled a bunch of grands? Do I not think the Garand is superior? I think Garand is a beautiful rifle. If you throw it to me, I will show you how to kill people with it. Yes. But the M1A is a very fine rifle with all the bells and whistles and everything tweaked and done the way it's supposed to, which they did. And the rifles that we have now are more than sufficiently effective as main battle rifles to be battle superiority weapons when the time comes. Anyway now caller I had to get that out because you know after all the tropical would oh we were stupid well then Wow How did all those vets survived World War two with the grand and the carbine and the tropical rainforest go ahead jump in there, please? Yeah, thanks, Mike. Yeah. Hey The difference in training from the grand to the end 14 is exactly the same as training from the M16 a 1 to the M4 Right or the m16. Let's say your bigger brother the way that's not even that because you really have to a little different but the air can Think about how much time like we said how much time I fully agree I'm an m14 lover. Okay, I grew up with the rifles from for me It's it's what I know. Maybe you probably see me. You're gonna see me shooting at somebody with an m1a Now it doesn't mean I don't know how to use them 16 But the fact is that in this day and age, for any new shooters, for most of you, I've heard you say this on the air, if you were looking for a .308 rifle and you're limited in budget anyway, the AR-10s that are out there right now, there's some really good buys, especially from Bear Creek Arsenal. I'd say go from that to that. Why? Minimal time to transition. Now, you got money to collect guns? Go try an M1A and see what you think about it. If you don't like it, there's people who will buy it. They would say, don't worry, it won't go to rust on the shelf. It never will, because somebody wants it. And Tex, you've been doing competition shooting, right? You've been doing a run gun. Oh, yeah. And you're using M1A? Yeah. I have used the M1A. I've used the FAL, you know, and they all work great. M16, I mean, or M4, you know. I think the fascinating thing about this is, again, it's because it's to jump on the bandwagon. There's a, I think there's, I don't know, maybe it's just, it's stirring the pot does great, you know, interest, okay? Both ways. Because somebody goes, well, wait a minute, he's bad-mouthing M1A. Maybe I should find out about it. So the cool thing is, somebody might actually, if they got lots of money, especially a single kid that's got a good job, might go out and grab an M1A and go, oh, I don't see anything wrong with this. The only issue that the M14 has in transition from the Garand to the M14 was the fact that instead of a Garand thumb, you know, instead of a D-clip in the top, you used obviously a pivoting magazine well below. And for everybody who goes, but that was hard, the magazine is tough to, no it's not. It's like anything else. Your muscle memory, you will develop it, you will understand it. It's no different from when we go from holding an AR-15 and going hit the switch and watch the magazine drop, to the AK where you have to get the chin of the mag in there and tilt her back and you hear that click and you know she's where she's supposed to be and it happens faster than I just described it and you get real good at it real quick. So the big advantage was you got more rounds. That was what everybody thought they wanted. But you still had a main battle rifle cartridge. Now here's the other thing. They always keep bringing up the 7.6 Q by 54, 51. It was so heavy. And we got the 5.56. Well guys, the government, since everybody seems to be worshipping government research, Government finally validated what we've been saying for how long because they just told you that 556 is not the round they want. What's the caliber that they want to go to? What is the chambering? What is that new round, Tex-Max? What is that? 6.8 by 51. So it's the same length case, but it's just slightly smaller, which by the way, there is absolutely no reason to go to 6.8. Here's another thing I keep looking at I've told you all this before guys go find the Frankfurt Arsenal books There are three now each one the guy in fact the government stopped him from making anymore Why well because people got a lot of information that changed their brains about how things work because Frankfort Arsenal was our research arsenal from about the time of the Civil War on through to the late 50s. It hung on, I think, well, actually into the 60s to a limited degree. But by the time we get to the middle of Vietnam, Aberdeen and other test beds, including Lake City, were doing as much work as Frankfort, okay? But back when the 7.6 Q by 51 NATO round was finally decided that that's where everybody was going, all the bullet development that they'd already made, which by the way are things you would, some stuff you just go, why the hell did they build that? Well, they built it just to show that they could. But there are so many projectiles and so many ways to enhance the 30 caliber round with all the science off the shelf that there is absolutely no excuse for going to 6.8. None. Other than just to make it a bastard caliber that supposedly nobody would have, therefore when the government uses it to kill American civilians, the American civilians won't have any counterpart solution. Oh, did I say that? Yes, I did, because that's what the agenda is. The first perceived enemy of this communist government is the American people. And so just like when they went to the 556, at that time, the first perceived enemy by the Ringknockers and the globalist was the American people, not the Vietnamese. And one of the arguments was that like colonial operations, that's what this was all about, when the Brits would go into a colonial area, they would use particular weapons like the greener shotgun, why they build the greener. It has a three-point firing pin, you can't find ammo for it, only the army had it, nobody else bothered to make it. So if you stole the gun, you only had so much ammo, but you couldn't buy it off the shelf. Well, when the 556 came into being, there wasn't really any allowance for the population to have anything. The Gun Control Act of 1968 was on the horizon. They were hoping that they'd be able to ban most guns anyway. And they did get away with a lot of what they wanted, and they were going to restrict even any military-style caliber, just like the Italians did, only in 1968. They didn't get that through. But if they had... The 556 would have come into play. Nobody would have had any ammo. When they come to kill Americans, you might capture some of the guns, but while you're busy fighting with whatever you got. But you wouldn't be able to replace any of that ammunition unless you were aggressive and actually were able to take from the other side. So now we go to the year 2022, 2023, and the only reason they're going to 6.8 is because this government perceives the American people as the first enemy. There is nobody that has a 6.8 basic round in any large production. It is a orphan slash bastard round purely for the purpose of making sure that only government has the ammunition in any good quantity. And the enemy is us. It's not the foreign, it's not the Russians, it's not the Chinese, it's not whoever else fill in the blank new. It's the government is arming to kill the American people. First, the only cool thing is we're kind of innovative and we can build the 6.8 round if we have to. But here's the neat thing is I could see popping the barrel and replacing it with a 7.62x51 NATO barrel real quick. That would be the other option. Why? Well, it's the same length. The 51 denotes the length of the overall, both from the base of the case to the tip of the bullet, which means that here's the other cool thing, you... Well, obviously you don't want to do it, but any other NATO type rifle, in theory, could also be chambered in 6.8, but by God, I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't see any purpose. I mean, other than the fact using their ammo, in theory, weapons could be, you know, converted over, but why would you want to do that? And it's not a superiority round. The only reason it's going to have any kind of superiority is because they're going to take all the research we already did on a standard 30-caliber bullet. Because we built in research better projectiles and better loads than the one that we adopted for standard NATO use. And once we adopted it, once we did know that, Frankfort Arsenal built a vast array of projectiles that was proven would work that would tighten up the rifle no matter what M14 it was, or FAL or whatever, but also provided armor piercing incendiary tracer, incendiary armor piercing, Frangible, which of course everybody expects that was for training purposes for air defense and for arm anti-armor use which well wouldn't be naked because not much you know 308 is going to do you know some pimple damage on small parts but nay it's not going through an armored vehicle. Not anything heavy and super modern. But it would do damage and so they made a number of different frangible HE rounds etc that were within price Reasonable price range so that the 7.62x51 NATO could have had as wide a bouquet of projectiles as the M1 Grand 30-06 M2 projectile or projectile inventory I mean how many of you like myself I've got crates of incendiary tracer. I have crates in .30-06. I have crates of M2AP. I have bandoliers upon bandoliers stored away with the rifles that are in special places that are all M2AP. In fact, it's all that's in the bandoliers. There's no ball ammo, and I would have to stop using that because I wouldn't waste the M2AP on most targets. When the M2 30 out 6 standard ball is sufficient for the work Fact of the matter is back when we bought it It was no more expensive to buy armor piercing incendiary guys and it was to buy M2 ball In fact, both people be like well, I got a bunch of this stuff. Nobody wants to buy it Oh, I'll pick it up. We'll take some yeah, let's go shoot that the range some of it. Yeah That's how the world used to be Okay before the commies got more and got their way more and more especially the communists and the donut of destruction So anyway, we could have, we could, go ahead, jump in the car. Yeah, let's text Mexican. Yeah, one of the complaints, I always hear about the M14. or the M1A is the Op-Rod. They're always saying, oh, the Op-Rod, it's too prone to failure. But, you know, they never say anything. The same Op-Rod is basically the same Op-Rod on the M1 Garand. But this is one of the reasons why they say, you know, it's not as robust, I guess you would say, as other rifles. It's just a matter of because of the number of people that backed the garage. And again, there were two things problems with the initial production, but where did that stem from again? Let's back this up a little. Just like the M16, okay, Stoner told them how to build the M16. Stoder came up with the idea the rest of the crew, you know dotted all the I's crossed all the T's they perfected it before 1960 okay guys in the the second Detachments in the second detachment of the first SF actually saw the m16 e1 in what was it 1962 in Vietnam They actually offered them to the guys at the fire bases. Nobody would take them. Now it wasn't because it wasn't an interesting rifle and they had them in the arsenal. They had them sitting there. The Vietnamese didn't want them. They didn't want to know what to do with them. The rifle was perfect for the Vietnamese in size but nobody had any ammo. It was a bastard caliber. For the for the guys who were special forces the rifle was interesting But once again you had to carry all the ammo you need and if you ran out of ammo And you're getting you're standing there with 300 Vietnamese You know regulars or Vietnamese? Montyards that you're training Then your rifle is a bastard you can't you're not going to get any supply or support from anybody when you run out you run out So they continue to carry m2 m3 carbines mostly select fire because it made more sense and in the inventory the system supported it. Now otherwise they saw other issues that again actually came out in the play but the original rifles and prototype stuff that was provided was built to Stoner's specification. So the gun actually worked pretty much regularly where they experimented with it. They did not carry it to combat, but they did use it in the fire base for defense. They actually had some, then it would have been like all the other weapons they had. They used wherever they could grab quickest, and there are other weapons preferred, like for defense, the Garand, which we've been talking about, and the M14 were out there in good force. So they were actually preferred because more knock down power, you know, you put more than one person down with one bullet in many cases. But the M14 where the specs were laid down, then the contractors had to develop skill with new parts. And this is something that nobody wants to talk about, but the Garand had similar issues with original production. And by the way, I've read out in the air the epic of the M1 carbine. Oh, the M1 carbine was perfect when it came out. Oh, well, it was a great idea. And the design was fantastic. But do you know how many companies almost lost their government contracts because they couldn't build it? They couldn't build it right. They actually, you know, GM up in Saginaw, the Saginaw Steering and Gear site. They were given one of the contract production all the tooling and everything and they were given so many days to build so many hundred, well a hundred some carbenes and they had to have the spec and they were told you can't hand tune it, you can't tweak it because it's got to come off the factory line the way it's supposed to work. Lo and behold GM they got they built them and then they had to hand tune every one of them because they weren't right. the inspectors came in, they were experienced machinists and tool and die men, and they said, dude, you guys are in violation, not one of these guns works. You've tweaked them, you can see where you've polished, cleaned, or had to lap parts to make them work. I tell you what, we'll come back in, how about three months? You guys have another production run ready? And we'll inspect it. Guess what? They came back and they tried to pull the same crap again. So after the second fumble screw, they said, you got one more shot. We're taking the tooling from you because there's other companies waiting in line. They'll get the contract. Well, the third time was the charm. And they actually did the initial test production run without tweaking, tuning or whatever. But it's because they either did that or they'd have lost it. So, oh, everybody just do perfectly how to build it. No, they didn't. And second, I was steering a gear experience that that was part of the GM complex. It was an experienced manufacturer. They knew what they were doing. They also knew when they were lying and they were deceiving everybody. They tried to. They didn't deceive the experts though. Plus I think some of the people who work there said, hey, this stuff's going to my brother, my cousin, my dad. And if it doesn't work, he gets killed. So probably a few people said a few things too, like, no, this is a lie. They didn't do what they promised to do. And so third time's a charm. Then they started cranking out. Everybody loves those Saginaw steering gear, M1 carbines. And by the way, everybody was given the opportunity to build the Grand so they show they could do it the same way. And not everybody could. So the parts look good, but the parts weren't quite right and they had problems with them. Now, did they scrap everything? Well, in the beginning of the war, they didn't scrap anything. They just prioritized it. In other words, if they had a problem with it, you know, like those hundred carvings they built, they didn't throw those out. You know what they did? They gave them to National Defense Border Patrol and Security inside the US. Why? Well, they worked and they've been tuned to spec, even though you're not supposed to have to do that. You're supposed to be able to take a part out of any box, shove it into that particular gun, work the action, and it functions. Just like you do right now with the AR-15, because you can't. Why? Because the standard was established. And the people who are all building them have to maintain that standard, or they don't sell a product. But starting out when the government was building the M16, how many people died? Because of failures of the weapon. What were the failures? Well, there were a couple of things that were very obvious, but donut of destruction used the wrong powder for the cartridges. Whoa, they wouldn't do that. Government knows better. Yeah, they do better, but they did it anyway. Yeah, and with the M14 project, it was no different because there was overlap. It took time for new parts production to catch up, which it did because there were differences that needed to be made. Once everybody had their time on target, everything worked just fine. I would, I don't care what M14 you got. In fact, to be quite honest, it's the same with grants. And I've said this many times. I know people are aficionados and everybody develops their skill in understanding things. I grab, I take a re-welded grant. I know because I've built enough of them. I helped with a lot of people that did a lot of, we built more garands as I've said many times on the air than I could count. I don't even know for sure how many we actually built. We used to get out of work, I'd go over and pick up another friend, we needed a guy's basement, we had a little production operation going and when we were doing garands, we did garands. When finally we could get a semi-automatic receiver, we were doing M1As. Carbines, uncounted. Carbines, especially, again, fed or, gone, fed or. They could never stamp anything straight in their lives as far as the stampings on the gun, but they were service acceptable. Now, as far as grand receivers, we buy tons of cut receiver parts from Sarco, for instance. You buy a big bucket of them, you get 100 cents for something like, what was it, $42. You get 100 cents of cut receiver, grand receivers for $42. We made a jig. Who made the jig? A guy from Chrysler who was a tool and die man. And we did the jig in the Chrysler shop. He came back with that, set it down, he said, now you put one piece here, one piece there, we tune up and trim up the part, then we fill in the difference and apply heat accordingly and when we're done, we got ourselves a grand receiver. Because grand kits were only about $60 a piece back at that time. Would I use that rifle? Oh give it to me. I'm using a heartbeat. Is it pretty? No, not necessarily. Some people didn't do a real pretty job in building those things, but you know what? They did function, typically do. And if they don't, well, they were cast aside real quick. They rebuilt, let's put it this way. Everything got stripped off the receiver, put on another receiver, gun keeps working. Ticky washy. Same is true with the again all these other weapons is the argument the basic rule is this why is it we are using the FNFL G3 HK 91 and the M1A because the three militaries that built them the FNFL came from Belgium but the Brits were the ones who really made it famous By the way Germans made the STG 58 that's an FM But in the process the G3 parts inventory is vast The FNFL parts inventory is vast. We're still feeding off it how many years after its first production. Hell, the M1 Garand. Why are we still talking about the M1 Garand? Do you know how many of those were made after the war? With all the stuff laying around? Most people can't imagine the wealth of material. We have racks of Garand's. that are in the militia inventory just like when the SKS came out for $56 only imagine less and getting a bigger better rifle. That's what's out there waiting for this conflict right now and all the parts support maintenance operations Hell, the only problem is, sadly enough, is many of the great armorers that were, you know, grand armorers are gone, but their sons or friends, we all learned something from those people. So now we have to pass it on to other people and integrate with other people so that we make sure it survives. But we still have the great number of people who are M14 arsenal armorers. And there are people now. They're not working for the other side. They're working for us. AR-15, M16, same way. Think for everyone they have we have six why because how many years is the air 15 been in service? The air 15 I just told you 1960 the first m16 e1 was already available to the military Actually, but it's argued is two years earlier 1958, but I'll say 1960 so that means guys at that brand-new rifle. Oh, it's the latest AR 50 is a 73 year old design at least That's clearing towards a century's worth tonight. I mean, you keep going here. You're talking a century gun, a century mark rifle. Same with the AK. Well, it's the AK-47, which indicates all that was really done since, say, 1947. The argument is they had the first of those technically available in, what, 45? Nobody got into the conflict. It was still an R&D. But guess what? That means that that's a how old rifle? Once you roll up, again, it was 50. 50, 23, 70, oh my god, that's a 73 year old rifle. 73 for the AR. I got my math. Slap mark in the microphone. 70, or no, 60, 40, that's 63 years. Oh, I was off by a decade. You can slap me. That was new math counting there. Oh, punish mark for that one. Oh, William, the pain, the pain. So anyway, the idea here is that they eat nothing that's really new, except for some of the newest plastic stuff, which is already come and gone. Hey, tell me about the G36. Remember? Everybody, guys? Everybody old, new sliced white bread, gotta have that G36. G36. So what's the German Army doing with the G36 right now? Anybody? What what what's happened with the G it's the next existing this light white bread. It's made by HK. It's got to be good. It's fantastic Don't worry about it being plastic. Shut up. Don't talk about that So what happened? Where the where's the G 36? Oh by the way, anybody can't know here's another funny one though Anybody catch that the Brits are getting rid of their bullpups or starting to anyway, they can't get rid of everything right away They're gonna have to keep keep some an inventory. I mean they really can't What they've got a brand new rifle the Brits have a brand new rifle has anybody seen the brand new rifle the Brits have Anybody catch this the new one that we have a new unveiling of our new medium tank They want to call it that but it's a medium tank. Maybe it's a light tank by today's standards But then in addition at the Brits are rolling out a new rifle It's a brand new rifle totally different from anything you've ever seen it's an AR-15 M16 Have you seen it and it's not kind of sort of it's just an M16 You know wonder will the beast you know with whatever trends bells and whistles, you know for the latest ideas and in terms of how to build the gun It's an m16. Hmm boy, we went away from totally new and radical designs to the Standard American fair arm and inventory. Yeah, that's kind of fascinating Oh, but wait, we're busy pissing on the design going somewhere else Because we're going to six. Oh, wow No, I guess not. Not really. So anyway, things to look at. And yes, if you haven't seen it, go look at what's going on with the British new rifle in 5.56 that they're issuing. You'll recognize it immediately. But it's got all kind of... Oh, it's newest. It's just like nothing else we've ever seen. Yes, it is. Just like the ones we have. Next on the subject of munitions. And we need to be talking about this also. 5.56. Guys, because of what's happening, not just simply because of the idea the government would change the base caliber, whatever they're using, chambering, whatever they have, If you've got an AR-15 group of rifles, I've already talked about other rifle dies, but you need to pick up a set of 5.56 dies at least one. And really, if you have a whole brace of rifles, let me recommend something. I would pick up three sets of 5.56 dies immediately. We are gonna be into reproduction in the first phase of conflict. It's gonna have to happen immediately. We cannot wait until we realize we're short. Brass will be readily available. Remember, pick up your brass. Don't leave nothing for the dinks. Well, in this case, we're picking up the brass because we're the dinks. Okay, we're the ones that they're trying to, well, disarm. And we're the ones they don't wanna see, armed. So most important is, again, Reloading is something you do need to seriously look at. I don't care what you invest in. Single stage press, current head press, Dylan Electric, oh god. It's like a minigun only. It does ammunition. Really, it's what it is too, by the way. If you get a chance, invest, but a simple investment right now is get a set of 5.56 dies. Whatever your guru believes, in other words, if Mark were to say something right now, there'd be somebody sitting next to you that'll say it just the opposite. So here's how it works. Whatever flavor choice, your guru or your group feels his best in terms of reloading solution, except if someone's not gonna say, oh, he's stupid, we don't need any 556 dies, we'll always be able to get it. Well, that's kind of stupid to say that because there ain't no guarantee in supply at all. So if somebody's just going to be saying the opposite, whatever I'm mentioning on the air here, you probably should turn in B-flat, the stupid, you know, twit. Bottom line is that it should be a priority right now. If you are in a situation where you have a lot of the ARs, you need 5.56 dies. Take your pick. The other problem is you might not be able to take your pick because availability has been kind of a roller coaster in this particular area, as you know. So, it may have to just go for what is available now. And again, all dyes are good dyes. It's just that some dyes are better than others. That's just all there is to it. All of them work. That's the first rule. But, some are better quality than others. So, you choose, but you may have to settle for the other option first. and it gets you on the table and then progressively upgrade, keep the other dies, never sell the dies, never get rid of them, they'll all be used. Eventually even the best set of dies you got is gonna wear out. If we actually use them as intended, every piece of machinery that we are using, that's what weapons are, machines, are going to wear out. Now the first step is being able to keep feeding them. Needles to say but while you're at it just in case somebody had a bad day at the factory firing pin extractor and ejector for every weapon you've got Minor springs if you got a Glock it's not a big deal if you got an AR It's not a big deal But if you do have some of the other odd man out weapons I'm gonna tell you right now the moment that they lock down the money The moment that they brain fart the economy and screw it the moment that they choose to attack the people and grab the guns, you're not going to be going out and buying spare parts or ordering anything. So if you have a weapon that you do not have spare parts for, and it is something that you prefer to use because it's all the most wonder bar weapon on the planet, do you have the basic spare parts to keep your firearm running past the kickoff day? And they need to be in hand. I'm going to tell you the most common breakage, the first one you're going to hear most commonly the problem is extractors. Why? They are the weak point in all of the weapons. That is the weak point. Not the barrel, not the bolt, not the ejector, or you know, not the ejector, the extractor. I hope I said extractor before. Extractor. The extractor is the weak point. Firing pin, they're usually pretty robust, take a lot of beating. But the extractor at some point because of all the flexing and the amount of dynamic work that it does is the most likely first part on your firearm that is going to malfunction. Not the op rod, not any charging point, nothing. Not the sear, it's going to be that extractor. So buy extractors for all of the weapons that you have and plan on fighting with or operating with just because let's say you're right now listening and saw Mark I'm not going to get involved the war I'm above all of that I'm going to stand off the side and laugh and eat popcorn and sit in my retreat and whatever. Well if you think you're going to use your weapons for whatever purpose for preparedness guess what you're not ordering anything either. So firing pin, extractor, ejector, if you had an AR because it's so cheap, I've told you a million times, 333. Why not? If you look around, you can find really good prices. Now, to prevent all of that is PM, preventing maintenance. The extractor is the most neglected component on any handgun or rifle that you will find. And everybody immediately goes, what? Mark, I cleaned my weapon. Yeah, do you disassemble that particular part of the weapon? I'll tell you why extractors break because of oxidation and adhesion. I don't let my gun rust. Yeah, you do. You just don't see it. Where your extractor is sitting in a little slit slash channel, it's a cut piece of metal, isn't it? Now they might have finished it with bluing or park rising in that little gut channel. But then they put a little, you put that little extractor in there and then they put a secure pin and a spring usually, although the extractor itself is spring stock. But what happens is, however that extractor works, it has to move freely. So what happens? You start using a gun. Well, every time you hear that pop, that little extractor is moving back and forth inside that little channel. When the brass goes over the end of the claw, it flexes. So what happens is the contact surfaces left and right of that extractor inside that little channel are rubbing the metal bare. It's not a matter if, it's just a matter of when. When was the last time you lubricated that reaction? Took out the extractor, cleaned off the extractor, cleaned out that little channel where carbon builds up and carbon works like a carbon is the material used for micro fine honing. Okay? So that carbon that's kicking back in, microfine is creating a patima that works its way in with actually the lubricants that you used. That in turn is wearing and wearing and wearing and at a certain point what happens is either because it gets gummed up or it gets oxidized as in rusting, the extractor claw doesn't flex as much or may not flex hardly at all but the spring nature of the claw is such that it will continue to do its job, but now it's creating different stress on the extractor. This is why if you look, you will notice that typically about one third of the length back from the extractor claw is where the claw usually breaks, no matter what the dimension of the extractor is. Oxidation. And then only so many flexes and because the entire fixture was supposed to flex but only a percentage of it does, then you inevitably are reducing the lifespan of the extractor. See how that works? Now, this is why first, PM, you want the extractor and all the parts last longer, learn to break down your weapon to its base component. Do a complete and thorough cleansing of all of these parts that make up this gun tool that you own. Now you don't have to scrub and scrub and scrub. In fact, what you need to do is take very careful care of each of the parts to ensure that you minimize wear on the part while in the process evacuating alien or waste materials from the components. When you reinsert the tools, put the tool together and the extractor goes back in its tray, I suggest that you spend the best money you can on the finest long-lasting lubricant possible that works in that extractor channel. Now a good one that was used for years is called Lubra Plate. It's old. It's an old material. It looks kind of reddish, reddish but ruddy. It can be darker brown as it, you know, if it's fresh it looks a little more like rust color. But it is a very fine and very expensive grease when it came out. The military used it and usually had it in pockets, cups that go inside the garand, the carbine. Well, actually you have the carbine oiler, forgive me. But you have the M14, the Springfield, all of them, 1917 Enfield. Had a little lubricate was used for all the track points and contact points. It will hold up well to heat. It also holds up well to moisture. It is of course designed to seal the crystalline structure of the metal so that the rifle or parts, the components of that rifle or pistol, will in turn repel moisture and prevent additional oxidation. Now we don't goop the thing up to the point where we have ooze all over the place. Remember when you're dealing with microfine parts, we put a light coat. We ensure that the whole area is covered. This is either oil or greases, depending on which you apply to what part. But we only apply enough as necessary to get the job done. You might also work the metal, actually take a cloth, specifically not cross-contaminated with cleaner. You want to use a separate patch. that is clean and you actually let it get permeated with that oil or grease that you're using and you work the part to ensure that the grease gets into all the nooks, crannies and also works into the crystalline structure of the metal which you can't see. What this does is prevents and does a better job of preventing oxidation because H2O and the air cannot get to that metal, cannot make contact with it. So it freezes up or retards the oxidation process. This is the most critical part, the extractor. Everything else will follow. Now again, does that mean, well, we're at the firing pin? How many of you have cleaned out the channel at your firing pin? The firing pin channel for the face of the bolt, where it actually exposes itself out the face of the bolt. How many times, how much lacquer do you think is in that channel? How much carbon do you think blew back through because you have the primer cap right there, but also you have the evacuation of the rounds in action? These are small little spots. Oh, it shouldn't mean much. Oh, it means everything It's just like the gas cap. It's system on a carbine or the gas system on the air 15 with the you know, the the upper key Keep it clean you live you abuse it you die fail to understand it you die So, just a heads up and again, also we don't want the weapon itself to be damaged. We're trying to keep everything operational for the longest period of time possible. Now your enemy is hoping that you won't know anything about what I just said. Your enemy is hoping that you will be completely ignorant because the CIA has a formula, as I've told you many times, the spooks and coops and the government usually figure that everybody is stupid when it comes to handling their weapons. And for this reason, they can count on most weapons to operational in the field, only survive about two years worth of constant use. Now, whether that's with or without an armor or support would vary, but still it's the idea that they have a clock, they know they have a clock running. If they can cut off supply, you're probably not thinking about any of the things I just told you about. And so they can count on the idea that your weapon will malfunction to the point where it is inoperable. My mission is to make sure that does not happen because if you are to my right or you are to my left and we are friends because we are working towards a common goal which is the destruction of the communists that are trying to destroy this country and destroy the Constitution and eliminate your freedoms and your liberties. Well I want to make sure you're all shooting at the bastards when the time comes so I'm going to try to get you to do the best job you possibly can which is the only reason I am talking about this. Because we have a mutual liberty interest and operational success is based upon the idea that everybody's on the same page with regard to all of the details that will allow us to enhance our survivability and bring us to a positive end, a victory against the enemy. And just because you got a lot more junk doesn't mean you do what I'm talking, you don't do what I'm talking about. I want a little more garbage, so if it breaks, I don't care. No. That's the shallow hell. That's the unthinking animal. And we are men. And so we are going to use our brains. We are going to use our... We are going to use our brains. We are going to actually, again, take all the skill that we can collect and apply it to a battlefield that is very, very dangerous. And we hope to, again, achieve victory in the process. We have to take that field. every aspect of the process of taking ourselves into that conflict, we have to master. Okay, so share wherever you can. Anyway, ideas, not just complaining about the problems, because anybody can complain. So again, also, lubricants, hey, take your pick, there's 50 million of them out there, you wanna spend more money, find out more about what actually is available. You'd be surprised, and you'd also be amazed at the cost, okay? If you're willing to spend the money, that's where you spend the money. Okay, lubricants, P-O-L, petroleum oil and lubricant products. By the way, I will say this again, sidebar. We may not have the best petroleum products available, but if we have something, we can continue to function. If you go to a yard sale, go to a resale shop. I go to resale shops in the area here where the guy gets everything out of the garage. If they have a quart of oil in the dollar box, and they do, there's like a whole dollar building. dollar or less because I buy so much I get stuff for less than a dollar sometimes free but you see a quart of oil of any kind there you buy it for 80 cents or a dollar yard sales 50 cents but there's only two-thirds or seven-eighths of a container of oil WD-40 could be lubricants could be whatever. Guys what's it cost for a half you know like a pint of that product? $3, $4, $5, $10, $16. So as long as the product that's in that container is what it's supposed to be, no matter what it is, you collect it, you save it, you put it on the shelf. Down the road, automotive oil, if it's a choice between a drop of that as opposed to the very fine lubricant I planned on using from the Schmidlapp 400 company or whatever, well, I'm gonna use what I have because I need to continue to keep my weapon functioning. Does it mean that I might have to do other maintenance or applied lubricants more often because they're not of the same viscosity They're not the same grade. Well, probably My weapon will continue to function and I will adapt accordingly So you need to be thinking the same way p.o.l. Petroleum oil and lubricant product is a priority Also, I meant you we keep mentioning the grand And we're almost at the top here by the way the second hour if you got a grand you better be buying d clips You don't have to buy ammunition. I'll go, yes, that'd be nice too. And you don't have to buy ammo in the D-clips, but if you're listening to me right now and you've got a garand, how many D-clips should you have? Yeah, all of them. No, how many should I have? All of them. You better be buying D-clips for every, if you've got a garand or a bunch of garands and you're planning on running them, you better be buying D-clips and buy the company. We should be buying them out and hopefully somebody will make more. There are companies making them. There are so many sources, but the problem is also find the best price. The big thing here again, also I know a lot of people buying surplus guns, it's not likely. I would love to see somebody make a polymer off the shelf and offer it, market it, a Carcano stripper clip, the man-lature Carcano man-lature clip that goes in the rifle, because without it, the rifle's a single-shot weapon. There's a ton of those things out there. Finally, you know, they found a source in Ethiopia. Everybody's been bringing them over. It's not a bad rifle. If you shoot somebody with it, they will be just as dead today as they were when the gun was made 100 years ago or 70 years ago. Seriously. The big thing is there are certain parts that you need to add to the inventory if you want to continue to function at the level the weapon was intended to be operated at. Otherwise you have to downgrade so to speak. It's a single shot, manually operated placement rifle. You're going to use it when you need to, but you're using it kind of like a very hot butter knife so that you know, a butter knife with a cartridge so that you can get something that needs carrying. Otherwise, with the stripper clips and everything, it's a manually operated bolt action rifle that serves well in its niche. But the big thing is, ain't the razor, it's the blade. So stripper clips, D-clips. I know not everybody is excited about the SKS stripper clips and yes, we do know the difference in the quality, but at the very least, remember the SKS 10-shot stripper clips are great for maintaining control of the ammunition so you don't just have a handful of chiclets running around in your pocket or running around in a pouch. So again, that's another weapon where if you're using the standard mag, most of my SKS is that what I would be running into service with. or if I handed them out, would be using a 10-shot fixed magazine. One less thing that you could lose. Oh, that's right. Which is why the gun was built the way that it was. Magazine, fixed to the rifle. Bannette, fixed to the rifle. Cleaning rod, under the barrel. Cleaning kit, and the buttstock. You got a sling, you get a chest pouch, go kill. Well, that's not a lot. Well, better than a sharp stick in harsh language. Actually, a lot better. So, the S-CASK is another one of those weapons that, again, is going to need to be maintained.

And we still got a foot of snow on the ground, so it's not that much heat wave. What's it like out your way, Joe? Oh man, that's sun. Just more sun. That's enough. That's okay. We'll take some of the warmth and send that on over. It's off all this snow. It's supposed to stay down in the temperatures for the next week or so. They're saying, oh, it's going to get warmer mid 20s. Yeah. Woo hoo. That's warmer. Yeah, if it's not warm up. I thought it was a good windmill and all that. Yeah, we did it last night and it's supposed to get down there again tonight. And, well, I think they said it's supposed to warm up a little bit today and then tomorrow we're back down in the basement again. So, yay. More snow tonight. They're saying another inch or two tonight, which that's, after you've already got a foot on the ground, it gives a shit. It's cold. It just means I got to get the snowblower out and do two inches of snow. And if it was just my sidewalk, I probably wouldn't even bother. But I go all the way down to the end of the block and all the way down to the other side of the block just because I think it's something nice to do for everybody in the neighborhood. They can actually walk down our sidewalk without getting out. Ah, OK. You're one of them two-gooders. Yeah, I try once in a while. You know, you got to do something nice for the community or they just look at you like, who's that long-haired hippie, dope addict freak? You know? I'm not a dope addict, but you know, people think just because I write a moped my license is suspended because of a DUI. And I have to inform them, no, my license is suspended because I told the judge to shove it up his ass, I didn't need it. Back about 1986, I think that was. So that's about the last time. It's suspended your license permanently? I don't understand. Well, they suspended my license until I paid the fines. And I went to the courthouse in 2008 when I had my legal situation going on there. I went to the courthouse and I told them I want to know all my fines so I can get it all paid off and get it out of my hair. And they gave me all my fines. I went down and paid them. And when I did that, they gave me the paperwork and said, here, you can take this to the license branch and get your license back. I said, great, cool. I go to the license branch. sit down at the table with the lady and she says, how can I help you? I said, I'm here to get my license back. And I handed her the paperwork, said they told me to give this to you and I'd be able to renew my license. And she went, oh well, no, you still have three more tickets here from like 1989. And I'm like, now wait a minute, lady. I went to the courthouse, told them to give me all my fines. This is what they gave me and this is the paperwork they gave me to get my license back because I paid all my fines. Now how can you have three tickets that they don't know about in your computer? Well I don't know, you'll have to work that out with them. Well, piss on it. I'm not even going to mess with it. So that was, you know, what, almost eight years ago. I just don't have the patience for these assholes and I'm not going to deal with them unless I have to, which I had to with the scooter Friday. I didn't mention it yesterday, but I did get my plate thing for my scooter and all the endorsements. I took their little 10-minute test that had nothing to do with scooters whatsoever. 90% of the test was about road signs and stupid shit. You know, if someone pulls out in front of your car, what do you do? A, put on the brakes, B, floor it, you know, that kind of stuff. And I'm like, really? I had to come in here and do this just to put a goddamn plate on my scooter? Really? Make that crap up just to justify the amount they have to charge you. You can't just say, hey, pay me. They have to pretend that you're paying for some, something like that. $56 bucks for what happened on Friday. And $36 of that I know for sure was the plates. I think they charge you $10 for excise tax. What were plated plates? Yeah. They charge you $10 for taking the test and $10 for excise tax on the scooter. another 20 bucks on there and she's like, do you want this to go to November 2015? I said, well, or 2016 and I said, well, how much is that going to cost me? 80 bucks? I don't have that much money. So no. What? Okay, wait, so that's only good for a year. Yeah, I have to go back and renew it in November. Why? I don't know. Because they want 36 more dollars. If you think about it, there's probably over a million people in this state. that ride scooters because their license has been suspended or they just want to save gas money. A lot of people, you know, they have perfectly good cars, perfectly good license, but when it only costs you $2 in two weeks. Man, that's great. We're just going to have to get you on a motorcycle because you're paying the same amount. Right. I got to give me a Harley, man. I don't know about that. I've tried that. That's a bad play. That's a whole lot of great stuff. can waste the money. Yeah, that's a whole lot of bikes for 135 pound guys. I played off, I got to my sports room when I got, I was like one, maybe two, pounds away from the, my, the, paying off and a Jorge pulled out or actually I was making a left in the intersection of Millenine. He decided not to stop. So I pulled my bike one, one payment away from having paid off. So now on I just go and I get a bold rice burner and I chop it up and I make my own bike for like a grand and it's always in that waste of money. Oh, hell yeah. If it gets crashed you don't lose anything. Yeah, it's even better because you did it yourself. I like that. I wish I had the skill and the ability to do that. Takes a few Harbor Freight tools and an old bike. Well, there you go. Well, let's jump into this here and see what we've got. I find this rather hilarious here, actually. On Twitter, when I was posting my little post that I do on Twitter, you can only do so many letters on Twitter before they red flag you and you can't post it. So I have to word my Twitter posting very carefully, and underneath of it, it said this. This was an ABC News Tweet. It says, United States General Austin tells Jordanian General Al Zaben that together we will fight this barbaric enemy until it's defeated. And this was about the Jordanian pilot being killed over there by ISIL or ISIS or IS or whatever the hell they're calling themselves this week. And wouldn't you know it? uh... right down the line here what the hell happened to it? oh okay here it is the general is telling the Jordanians that we're gonna fight and kill this enemy these ISIL people and then this article here was in Press TV posted by Millard at FromTheTrenchesWorldReport.com today February 3, 2015 for discussion says U.S. can no longer deny its support for ISIL, activists say. How's that work out, General? Who can't support him? U.S. can no longer deny its support for ISIL. Oh, okay. But the General say, we're gonna fight him! We're gonna fight him, even though we're giving him guns to shoot at us. We're gonna keep fighting. You, Jordanian, stay out there and fight. We'll stand back here and watch. How's that? Press TV has conducted an interview with Ken O'Keefe, a peace activist and former U.S. Marine from London to discuss Washington's major role in either gathering or generating or aggravating most of the current crisis across the world and allowing groups like ISIL, a TACFIDI terrorist, to foster and grow. O'Keefe argued the United States can no longer deny the fact that it's funding, arming, and training the terrorist groups through its proxies in the Middle East. He further said nothing benefits the war agenda more than the terrorist attacks against Americans and Western citizens, adding that such attacks are a gift to the war-moggers that want never-ending war. And they're the ones causing it, too. all these false flags and stuff like that these people aren't taking that shit up by themselves folks they're being told to do it they're going yeah yeah you we know you hate them uh them our markings over there you can go over there and blow them up we'll give you lots of money and get cheap oil well hell we're standing on a whole country full of friggin oil how much cheaper can it get that's what i you know what i mean anyway on to some good news here 11 year old uses shotgun to scare off suspect during the peer county home invasion. Good girl. That was a girl too. I read the article. This was sent to us by a reader. It says, posted by the admin February 3, 2015. It was on Mlive, which is one of the main Michigan mainstream web pages and news agencies there. I can't remember what town it's local to, but it says here, Lapeer County, Michigan, an 11-year-old girl was able to scare off a suspect later taken into custody during a home invasion in Lapeer County's North Branch Township. Deputies from Lapeer County Sheriff's Department responded around 3.45 p.m. Friday, January 30th, to a Five Lakes Road home where the girl was home alone when a vehicle pulled into the driveway. A Lapeer County Sheriff's Office news release states one person knocked on all the doors and forced their way inside the home when there was no response. The girl locked herself inside a bathroom and hid in a closet with a shotgun. The suspect eventually opened the bathroom door and closet where the child was hiding with the weapon. I bet he about shit his pants when the barrel of the weapon was stiggered in his face. It's a good thing I wore my depends to the robbery. The girl aimed the shotgun at the suspect who then fled from the home. She should have pulled the trigger. That way he couldn't have fled. That was a freebie. Yeah. Police said the girl was not harmed during the encounter. The suspect's vehicle was located around 30 minutes later in Imlay City by local police with assistance from the Almont Police Department, Michigan State Police and Lapeer County Sheriff's Deputies. He's bound outside of the road huffing and puffing. Yeah. Cleaning out his underoos, two occupants in the vehicle, a 53-year-old Detroit man and a 31-year-old Detroit woman were taken into custody without any resistance and remain at Lapeer County Jail pending formal charges. The case remains under investigation by Lapeer County Sheriff's Office. Anyone with information has been asked to contact Detective Sergeant Jason Parks at... the phone number listed here in the article. And we go from an 11 year old with a shotgun scaring off a intruder to an 11 year old being molested by police. Well, I call it molested. She got raped. You know, the meaning of rape isn't sexual. It's any unwanted touching. Cops tackle 11 year old girl and hold her at gunpoint in her own home. I call that rape. This was in the Free Thought Project by John Vibes. and was posted by Andrew McIve from the trenches world report dot com for discussion February 3rd 2015 and says Groveland Florida two Florida cops are being accused of throwing an 11 year old girl to the ground and holding her at gunpoint in her own home. 11 year old girls look so much like robbers that you just got to tackle them and put them under gunpoint you know put down the sandwich little girl and back away from the refrigerator. The police were dispatched to the home because someone had accidentally set off the burglar alarm. Since the alarm tripped accidentally, no one in the house was aware that the police were on their way. When officers let themselves in the house with guns drawn, it was a total surprise to the young girl who was sitting at home watching television. One of the officers was pushing me down. When he was pushing me down, he put his knee on me and the other officer had his gun pointed at me, the young girl told Channel 9. Yeah, robbers break in, they just sit down on the couch munching popcorn, watching TV. Yeah, that's what robbers do. They don't, you know, ransack your house. They're always 11 year old girls too, you know. They just all look alike, kinda, you know. The girl's father, Jean Gerland, couldn't imagine how the police officers would possibly think that she was a threat and treat her that way in her own home. Someone should get fired for doing something like this. I know because you're a security company supposed to try and call you when the alarm goes off to make sure it's not a false alarm. Yep. So and then they send an employee out they don't typically I mean that I know of send a freaking psychotic cop over. No. But somebody did, so it had to be one of the people at the office. We don't have anybody available. Call out cops. Looks like there's an 11 year old girl in the home from the cameras that we have installed, but I think she's robbing the place. She's sitting there watching TV, eating stolen popcorn. Better get her now. Hurry before she gets to the Fritos. Someone should get fired for this, Grealin said, and a dude, you're pissing up a wet rope. In case you didn't know it, they've been killing people all across the country for the last couple years and nobody's went to jail for it. So, gee, I think they could do whatever they want to your daughter and get away with it, regardless of the situation. He also told reporters that his daughter was traumatized by the experience. Yeah, I bet she was. She'll have PTSD now. We'll have to pay for her doctor bills, you know. When the story went public, it was discovered that officers involved have a short history with the police force but a long list of complaints. According to Channel 9 News, Officer James Festa and John Rigdon, repeat that, Officer James Festa, F-E-S-T-A, and John Rigdon, R-I-G-D-O-N, have only been with the department for three years, but both have been disciplined several times. Yeah, what did they do? What did they do to him? Smack him on the hand, psh, now don't you be molesting them little kids again now. You leave them kids alone, psh, smack him on the hand again. Now get back out there and molest them kids, dammit. Forget we ever had this conversation According to his personnel file, FESTA was reprimanded in December for botching a child abuse investigation. What? Dan was suspended for sleeping on the job back in 2013. Meanwhile, Rigdon was suspended in May and demoted in 2013 and has been accused of filing false police reports on several occasions. Sounds like they just can't get any damn good employees over there man. Well sounds like they can't get a break man. What you talking about Joe? They're supposed to be able to get away with this shit man. You know it's hard to find good employees that have 80 or less IQ man. Otherwise they can't tie their own shoes before they go out on patrol you know. They have to radio back. Should I tie my shoes? Instance of police throwing young folks on the ground and holding them at gunpoint in their own home aren't isolated. In October, a North Carolina teen was assaulted and pepper sprayed by police in his own home after he was mistaken for a burglar. 18-year-old Deshaun Curry was accused of robbing the house in which he lived. John Vibes is an author, researcher, and investigative journalist who takes special interest in the counterculture and the drug war. And he writes for free your mire writes for freesock project I believe is where this was yes the freesock projects and that just goes into more of his bibliography there and you know what can you say about that you know they they kill kelly thomas and walk up to the camera or you know right in the camera putting on the little blue gloves going i'm going to f you up and nothing happened to him so what do you think is going to happen to these two cops Nothing home invasions by police or getting just as bad as public assaults. Yeah nothing happened to the cops there in Detroit and they threw the the Flashbang through the window and blew up a little girl sleeping on the couch little eight-year-old kid No, wrong house. Sorry. What? Oh shit. No, you're dead. You know, that's Somebody throws a flashbang through my frickin window. They're gonna get shot more than once probably so you know that's what people need to start doing you think somebody's breaking into your house you whip out that gun and blast their ass and see how many of them keep coming through the door and being that they responded to this alarm it doesn't I notice I notice it well I guess it doesn't really say so whether they knocked or just walked up and kicked the door in or walked in yeah I don't know how that went down Yeah, it didn't say on that one. They probably, from the sound of it, they just busted in the door because the girl was sitting on the couch watching TV when they came in. So more likely they kicked the door in. They didn't even knock or anything. They just went, burglary, oh my god, get down, get down. You know, they're looking for her bag of goodies. And we are down at the bottom of the hour break.

Stop what you're doing. You'll hire a frickin lawyer, people. Everybody wants to freaking get that freaking pre-package BS. I don't need to know exactly what I'm doing. You do. That's the whole problem. That's why people are losing their ass in these court cases where they're trying to do it themselves. They've gotten some template from somebody who charged them a couple grand and didn't give them all the information. And then they just walk in the courtroom. They go, well, see, that shit didn't work. And I can tell you right now, 90% of what's out there isn't going to work no matter how correct or how good it is. It's not about your paperwork, it's about the judge sitting up there on the bench. If you don't have an honorable judge, which 99.9% of them are not, then you're just pissing in the wind. You can go in there and try and fight it all you want to, and you can ask Henry how that comes out. After you get so far, they just take you out behind the jail and kick the shit out of you and lock you up. And you know that the only reason they didn't do that to ride class is because he's an old man and a veteran and they knew it would look real bad out here if they did that to him. Now they did take him back in the back and say look you're right but you know what there ain't no way in hell we're gonna let you win. You're gonna spend 20 years in jail if you don't take a plea bargain. Then he went okay and he continued to fight outside. He had turned in some other paperwork going back at him again and they just pissed on it and threw it in the garbage. was trust law that he was trying to use and they just urinated on it and said this is frivolous and unintelligible and it's unundenated. We can't understand. Oh, you are a college educated law person that's worked your way from being a lawyer all the way up to a goddamn judge and you can't read the law and know what it says? No. That's not the case. I thought I'd have to put the other way around because if you don't understand what their gobbly good kids trying to pass off, that don't matter. Yep. You're supposed to be a law student. Yeah, if you looked at the judge and went, sorry judge, that's frivolous and unintelligible. They would probably shit their dress. You know, say, I have a big brown streak in the back. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in it. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this the land of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedoms gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free, 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 this. 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 traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, get the torch of 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 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, dill the land of the free? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West North Northeast and East ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com Liberty Tree Radio dot o r g And we are on shortwave. We're on 6.160 regular shortwave WBCQ, the planet. The planet rocks. Well in this case, the planet talks. And we're also on satellite. Let's say hi to all our merchant marine operators and many more on virtually everybody water on the planet right now. And... a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Weapons Wednesday. It's Wednesday, middle of the work week. 27th of September. Hey, we only got three days of September left. Oh, oh my. As Sulu would say, oh my. It is the 15th year of Open Obvious and In Your Face Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K2023 Old Earth Calendar. I'm giving it all she's got, Captain. And 2023, Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue. We're going to make sure the music plays and we're the ones dictating the lineup. It has been a very busy week already. It is Weapons Wednesday. Also, again, a couple of deals, but just a quick top to bottom. You need a basic rifle. Obviously, you might like a shotgun, but a basic rifle and pistol for most of you are working at building militia units or building a formation up from scratch, which is not a problem. Everybody organized with people you know that you've grown up with. You have every idea of what they've been doing, where they've been, who they're associated with. Make sure that you use the proper pass filter in order to get everything done right But personal arm take your pick whatever the standard is for the unit You guys are gonna have to choose best for your area of operation personal hand cannon for personal defense to back up and to replace the primary weapon or to get you to the primary weapon depending on disaster and Everybody should be carrying a handgun in addition to their rifle That's just our philosophy. Some people argue that, well, carry more mags and just carry one gun. Yeah, but when the time comes if there is something that goes wrong throwing rocks and using harsh language. It's not your first best choice. And when it comes, many, many different choices out there. We got a caller. Who do we have? You got John from Kentucky. Got a girl wave report. Alan Weiner has let us down again. It's not there. No, well, I'm going to be BC2. We'll see what happens or whether or not it's just way it's printing. Let's find out we do have moisture in the middle of the country here right now So again appreciate that everybody else if you're listening and we have a lot of people that are If you can give us a report give us a call or send us an email again WBCQ 6.1 6 0 regular shortwave and for our other friends out there listening and If you go to Liberty Tree Radio, there is a call-in number. Actually, if we're getting into the call-in line slash also the party line that we're working with, and you can give us a report that way too. We'll see if we absolutely have nothing or if it's signal variance, which happens with shortwave more so than anything else out there. So we'll see what the situation is. It's main. I don't know if they got, they don't have any bad storms going on. I'm not in May right now, but I know of. Anyway, to be safe, by the way, because we are now, we are headed into the end of the year billing for the year. We pay once a year for everybody who doesn't understand how Liberty Tree Radio works. We cut the cost down to the minimum by paying once a year on certain bills. Because of that, at the end of the year, we have fundraisers. A fundraiser is purely designed to raise sufficient money. to deal with operating expenses which are not as great as they would be with other operations that you hear about out there. So we have drawings, usually a couple of every month, sometimes sooner, sometimes just once a month it depends partially on how much stuff we have piled up in our goodie box. We have a big bunch of electronic and optical and mechanical things that are very useful tools for what's coming. And so what we do is you donate. Now for all of you listening, and if we are going out on shortwave or any other way for that matter, if you'd like to mail in a donation, I don't do this enough, you need to send us a letter. Address it to PBN, Patriot Broadcasting Network, PBN, P-O-Box, 194, Dexter, Michigan, 48130, that's PBN. PO Box 194 Dexter DX T ER Michigan 48130 now you can send Cash you can send checker money order if you do send a checker money order you can either leave it blank or you can make it out to Nancy last name KO er n ke Nancy K-O-E-R-N-K-E. You can also use the mailing address as the return address on the envelope. Now, here's the thing. If you want to be in the drawing, if you would also include a printed, you would print your mailing address. Why? Well, if your name is pulled out of the hat, I've got to be able to send it to you. Unless you don't want to. You can also say, you can send a donation to support the network. But again, make a note, you know, not interested in the drawing. I'd prefer you get into the drawing, to be quite honest, because it's fun. Never know what you're going to get. I never know what I'm able to put in the box. But it's all useful tools or, again, regalia for the Patriot efforts, so things that we use. So it's definitely fun. And again, PBN PO box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130. If you're going to send cash, it's pretty straightforward. Put some foil in there with it. That always helps. Put a piece of aluminum foil in there. Also, again, you can do checker money order. Make the checker money order out to Nancy. Last name, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. Nancy, K-O-E-R-N-K-E. and include your mailing address printed if you can so that that way if your name is pulled from the hat for every dollar that you donate your name goes into the box and if it's five dollars five times ten dollars ten times a couple thousand like one of our friends did yes you did guess what Ed's got to do a lot of little writing a lot of little flips it's easier to print them out and then cut them out with scissors But anyway, again, we are going to be doing this right to the end of the year and everybody that pitches in, we appreciate your help. We pay once a year on most of our bills and that cuts the cost down by more than half in most cases. Of course, a guy on the other end just has to worry about one time with us and we're done. I don't even remember half the time I'm sure that we're there, under the fact we show up on their listings. Oh, by the way, I'm going to do this coffee. This is something special smell. Oh yeah, taste. Tanzanian pea berry with just a little bit of espresso. That gives it a little more of a bite because it's a little flowery. Tanzanian pea berry. And, interesting blend, works really well. Very, we got rain going on, very slight, slight soaker rain. The plants are all jumping up right now. Not going to get much more because they're getting cooler too, so they're making their last gas if they think they're going to be outside. And we've had some phenomenal food production this year, so I'm not complaining at all. Nancy's doing apples right now. In fact, I'm going to help her peel or chop a couple hundred more from one of our heritage trees outside. And also, I'll be doing cider tomorrow, squeezed. We have a cider press. And again, works really well. It's older than I am, but it's really well built and it does the job. So taking advantage of all the fall harvest as quickly as we can. Let's see, before I go any farther, there was something else that was brought up and it was sent to me just after we closed the program hole down here. Moved all my paperwork around. Oh, okay. And before I forget, Well, somebody was asking me before, like with the, you know, all kinds of tactical reviews with the M14 or, you know, with the Grant. And we were talking about the Grant and, well, actually what we were talking about was the M14 and how they're doing a bunch of poo-poo attack articles, you know, it just runs cyclically, to try and degrade the M14. Of course, it won't say anything bad about the Grant. And the M14 is nothing more than the daughter with, you know, with the magazine. Shorten everything up. to lighten up the weapon and put a 20 round magazine on it. Okay. Well, with the M1A or HK or whatever, one of the things that I put together more recently, and you might still see them laying around, they were cheap, cheap, cheap, the end of last year and the year before actually, the ABU, that's the Air Force Tiger Stripe Digital. It's in the same colors as the ACU. Using the, what is it, the Warrior Rig, the Warrior Base Vest that they made for the Air Force, in conjunction with a couple of electronics pouches that were made for the Molly Rig and Coyote Brown, I use those as double mag pouches. I like them because they're padded. They're little roomy, not much, but a little roomy. They have an individual divider sleeve on the inside that's built right in, so the mags are separated easily. Give it a little cushion all the way around, especially like the outer rubber baby buggy bumper foam padding. And in addition to that, the iFAC, a couple other utility pouches, radio pouch, another compress pouch up above on the left shoulder. That's the M14 M1A or slash FNFL or G3 set that I would use right now. I used also use a standard M1956 slash TA56 web gear modified with a whole bunch of other pouches from other eras because I tailored it to the weapon systems or equipment that I typically use. With the Garand, I got a couple different ways that I go. I've got cartridge belts up the wazoo. I was buying them back when they were a dollar apiece and I bought tons of the ten pocket real World War one or World War two cartridge belts The World War one World War one belts are virtually unissued because there was tons of that stuff that came out years ago Hey mark her voice. We have a caller jumping. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, you got it I just got off the phone with their engineer. He's gonna look at it and see what's going on So if you're trying to listen to us on shortwave Keep tuned if there is an issue, we come up on air, let us know. Okay? Appreciate it because again guys, so all it does take a call and they're going to be on it as quickly as they can to fix it. So that is what's being done right now. So if we aren't already back up, we soon will be, at least cross our fingers and everything moves in the right direction, which it should. Another thing here real quick about Webgear. is it doesn't have to be all from the same era. We don't have to pass any table of authorized equipment nonsense for the militia. What works for us, we use. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it's gone. It's that simple. Or we slide it sideways and put it in reserve. And that makes for a big advantage in terms of being able to field a more efficient kit and keep the cost down. That's the most important thing. If I can bargain basement it and still end up working just fine guess what that's what I'm going to do. What's neat about the the grand option is that right now over at I think they're the only ones I've seen carrying them so far is apexgunparts.com apexgunparts.com Now, while the 10 pocket cartridge belts are out there, and reproductions are out there too, by the way. There's also a bunch of stuff from other armies like the British Enfield multi-pockets for the stripper clips. Guess what? The D-clip works just fine. Instead of two, you would carry one, possibly two, you might be able to slide two D-clips into a British three-stack Enfield pouch. Now there are two on the bottom, one is in the middle on the top and then your suspension strap runs through that with the British gear the way it was set up. They used these in World War I, but they carried on through with the RAF and others through World War II. Different units or different services in the British Imperial Forces had combinations of web gear and of course it depends on what gear they were made. The ones I like are the Greek. utility d-clip pouches. Now you can get them either used grade B and or you can get them grade A over at apexgunparts.com. Why do I like these? Well they're built like the m14 mag pouch for the Vietnam era. They have the hanger where it's supposed to be. They're using Alice clips. And what's neat is you can actually either put two on one side, two double pouches on the other, make four on one side, two on the other, then your holster. Or if you want to carry a full combination or more, a greater complement, they can be attached in a number of different ways and locations. And the neat thing is you can kind of spread the weight of your ammunition around a little bit so it's not all piled up into two or three or four pockets. like you do with an M14 or M16 mag pouch system. They're well made. I have a bunch of them I've already put together with Garand kits, but obviously because they'll fit the Garand D-clip in reverse order, you could use five-shot stripper clips with other weapons that you might have. So this is an option to go both ways. and it fits with all the rest of your Atlas gear, your M 1956 gear, anything that's Euro, that's a counterpart NATO like the Austrian or the Belgian or the Dutch, anything that takes the Atlas type clips or has an Alice belt or pistol belt type system available, guess what? You could clip it on there. The other thing is what I'd like to do with these though, and this is something I've done with to create like, almost like a Folsch-Meager outfit. And I've done this with the 10 pocket belts too, is run a couple of them horizontally or perpendicular to the way they're normally mounted by strapping them and locking them onto the suspension strap to the suspenders. And so you have your regular pockets down below, but you can add a couple, which you can also dump whenever you want to or detach depending upon need. This actually helps to distribute the weight again and it allows you to carry so many more gee clips depending on how many of these you're willing to use. The reason we bring them is like the Folsch-Mäger. The Germans had an ammo belt system that went around the neck, wrapped around the neck and then hooked up to the front of the gear for the K98 Mauser. The Brits had a similar idea in World War I. They had several things that they didn't do after World War I, including cartridge belts that carried, or cartridge vests that carried hundreds of rounds. And if you hit the water with it, it'd take you right to the bottom. But it was designed so that you actually were had like a designated ammo bearer, maybe, although the idea is that they issued these vests to a lot of different people. And it was a, every pocket was a cartridge loop. It had a cartridge loop and a cartridge loops. It was a fascinating idea, but again, if you fell over, some people probably couldn't get back up. They carried that many rounds of ammunition. It was designed to carry boxes, loaded boxes of ammo, and stripper-clipped ammo, and of course still had ammo rings on top of everything else. And everywhere, you carried ammo. Didn't carry anything else. It was just for ammunition. In this case, with these D-clip pouches, go over to Apex, Now first go look in the deals section. They did have the grade B marked down and you get two pockets, two sets. In other words, there are sets of two. You get two sets of two for whatever the dollar amount is. They're relatively cheap. The unissued or very good to excellent condition ones are a few dollars more so if you prefer having something that looks really pristine, that you don't have to clean up a little bit, then yeah, you can go that way. They're a good investment. They work. We've already been using them. I believe the government, US made something like this that they did issue out to the Vietnamese simply because a regular cartridge belt was kind of large for them. And they remember that they did issue. Now, that doesn't mean they didn't have grand cartridge belts for the Vietnamese, but the average Vietnamese was you know, 90 pounds soaking wet to 100 pounds soaking wet, if we're lucky. Maybe we beefed him up. So all of our dimensional equipment didn't work so well with them. And so they did build a bunch of contract lighter weight pouches to support all the standard weapons that we were handing to the Vietnamese, which included the garand and the carbine. And the car being to be more than familiar with there's many pouches most all of them everybody's had at one time or another but for the grand there's this everybody kind of pen hem himself in thinking they need the cartridge belt or you got to improvise. There's a lot of other countries out there that use the grand after we faded it out or phased it out and the only thing is you don't see as much of it is because those grands mostly Italian Berettas They went south and into the Mediterranean or right now fighting in Syria or are issued in Iraq Etc because a lot of those guns got dumped there with the render revolution market and all the accoutrements went with it cleaning kits Mag pouches or giclet pouches, etc, etc. So anyway, hopefully that's a solution a lot of people usually are asking about that With the M1a Although normally I have like TA56 gear, standard Vietnam fare, but with additions that are more into the Alice line with the other pouches, that's most common way to support the M14 and for that matter the FAL or the HK91. There is a bunch of web gear for the 91 for the HK that's still out there that's very cheap. So if you want to make additional magazine belts. Using these dollar apiece pouches, so you could have a 10 or 12 pocket belt that you just roll over your shoulder or whatever or just drag along. Not a bad idea. The convenient thing is that the pouches, which are each pocket is for a single mag, They are relatively tight. They are, you have to get a little aggressive to open them up, which is cool. In other words, you have to make a physical effort to open them, so they're not just going to flop on you, which makes them a useful tool. So heads up, that's out there, and definitely those are worth the money. The next thing real quick on that note too is... Do I know where to find any reasonably priced bayonets for the M14? Oh, that's a good question. Used to be there were some. Sarco would have grade B and grade C bayonets. I don't think that Bud-K has an M14 China copy bayonet available. But I'm sure somebody does if we look around, but unfortunately they're still going to charge almost as if it were, you know, an actual American issue item, which is not good. The most recent one I found, Mark, was $75, which is $15, $4, and I paid for my original one. And again, that's a chunk of change for a lot of people, I know. The bad part is that China makes a copy of the M14. Uh oh, we got something going boom, boom. You may ride a good lead speed, you may know a stern a master. You forward much with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts, glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle, in our hands we'll prove no strife. Right there. And it is Weapons Wednesday. You're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we are on .160 regular shortwave WQQ, the planet. And of course, we'll continue to do so for as long as we can. We want to say thank you to our friends and sponsors who have helped to make this hour possible five days a week. And if you'd like to donate, again, you can go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key. And if you'd like to, since you're donating, you might as well donate to help at the end of the year billing in the process, too. You'll either go towards the short-wave bill and assist the people who are sponsoring it. or in this case, the end of the year billing. And if you go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, when you get there, go to the donate key. When you hit donate, don't forget that as a notation, add your mailing address. We gotta know if you're gonna have your name pulled. Well, how to send something to you. And all the arrest information is straightforward with regard to using PayPal. But the big difference is again, there's a notation section. We need to know how we can send something to you. If you don't want to be in the drawing, you don't have to be. But just let us know that also. You know, not interested in drawing. You can just put a note right there. It's a section for that. And we will know that you're being generous, which is fine. Although I'd prefer to actually get involved with the drawing. It's just me. Either way, we'll be happy. Either way, you'll be helping. We appreciate that. So, again, one more time I know the company I was mentioning before we went to the bottom of the air break, Apex. But I did mention Bud K. Now, Bud K, well, they're a knife company. They do modern stuff from like China and other places. Yes, yes they do. But they do have a lot of other odds and ends items. They even have black powder pistols if you haven't noticed. Over at Bud K. Yeah, did you take a look at that? You notice that they have? Pistols yes, they do firearms. Oh my goodness But in addition to that they have many many other items gas masks But one of the subjects if you punch in bayonets What will happen is the available? Reproductions that they have or they're on site and they're actually quite reasonable There is a stainless steel copy of the I don't know. What was it the mark one? a bayonet that was produced for the M16. It is, again, a straightforward blade, but if you're looking for a bayonet for the M16, right now it's the cheapest available all over the counter, and it does the job. It connects to the weapon properly. You might want to spray paint it or hard coat it because it is stainless, and a lot of people, nowadays, are using a coat of one form or another, whatever name brand, to dull the blade. A lot of the stainless blades that are available at Bud-K are actually darkened. But if you pay attention, read the nomenclature information. They are a whatever brand of coating. Notice I didn't say Perico, whatever. There's a number of other companies out there. Everybody has their trademark. They all work. And they work well enough. If it's a cheap blade, don't worry about it. That's the nice thing about using utility blade. I understand buying original or even buying a better end copy. But if you want to take some out to beat it up for training, then the best solution is pick up one of the cheaper ones also. Because of course, I'm just going to say, well, you bet your life on it. I'll tell you what, get the more expensive bayonet and then purchase the less expensive bayonet. And that's what you take into the field for training where it's supposed to be on your kit. You have the weight, basically the same utility purpose, although in training I don't think any of you are in theory going to be banetting any of your fellow trainees or individuals that are training you. You may get pissed at them, but you probably shouldn't ban at them. It's just me. So anyway, in the meantime, and by the way, the blade still works, you use it for utility blade for all the other stuff you do in the field and see how it holds up. They do have M1903 slash M1 Grand reproductions for about $25.00. We got somebody who's in the background there and they're having a conversation with somebody and they're not muted so I assume they want to talk. Who do we have? Call or jump in there. Well, the window was open. Well, if you don't have him, you've got me. There we go. Jump in there. When we train with our bayonets, we leave the sheath on the bayonet. That way we don't stab anybody. Let's not stab him, sir. Oh, I don't know. I don't like him that much anyway. So, yeah, again, yes, that's traditionally how it's done. But the big thing is that they have both the sword length. Well, they used to call it sword length. But it's, again, long blade. 1903 Springfield, Banette, but it will also fit on the Garand. And then they have the shorter issue, which in most cases, sadly enough, what they did is they actually chopped down the earlier blades. When they were in a hurry, they did them in a clip cut. When they were being more sophisticated as they realized the Japanese might not invade right away, then they went to the standard spear point that we're all familiar with. But the other term for the other cut would be the first one would be chisel, chisel cut or again clip. And what they did is literally just cut the bayonet on an angle, sharpen the end of it, add a nice pokey point and there you go. The reason they shortened the bayonet is because of the philosophy of how to use the bayonet and what they were facing with the Japanese, it changed. So just a heads up on that one. But both are available, both are good working blades. You can't beat them for the price, considering what now an original 03 Springfield Bannett goes for. So if you needed something, again, for familiarization or something to fill in because you got a number of the weapons but you don't have Bannett's, then go the Bud-K solution and that'll take care of the problem. And you're not out as much money for a lot of people that just can't afford that. Also, there are other copies of the M16 Manette. The M14 was out there in the carbine too, but I have not seen them recently. And again, that's a come and go thing. Korea was the one doing most of the better copies because they were still issuing the carbine for a very long time. And the M14, same reason, Korea used both firearms quite extensively and successfully and they liked them. But they also marketed them out to other countries on the render revolution market, which is why they built all the support technology to go with them and continued to sell it long after they were not issuing the weapon in any common fashion. So anyway, bayonets, you're going to have to do a little scavenging otherwise. Oh, do look over at apex. There are some bayonets that are in the deals and sales section. I wouldn't know what's left. I know that if you have some British infield number fours, they had some really great buys on the spike bayonets for those. I mean really good buys. Haven't seen them that cheap for decades. So if they are still available, it's worth picking up. If you have a British number 4 Mark 1, it takes the Spike Type Socket Spike Manet and they are available and right now over at ApexGunParts.com Many of the places have them. Manets, it's not like, oh, they're the only ones that have them. No, but they have them for the best price. We're only talking a few dollars apiece. A very reasonable price. So you definitely want to take advantage of that while you can. If you have British end fields like a lot of us do, having a few more of those around won't hurt anyway when you only cost $3, $4 apiece. So anyway, next. Also, a reminder, we've got a bunch of end of the year activity going on with regard to training and I had the, hold on here, get the notes right, Mark always stumbled on that one. So I got to buy time here. Anyway, uh, whoops, hold on here. Yeah, 4 16th, Michigan, uh, militia at large engineer, uh, section, uh, detachment, forgive me, is going to be at NAGA hitchem again. And I believe that is going to be, well, it is end of the month, but it'll be the beginning of the month. Won't it hold on here guys. As a matter of fact, well no, they will be there on the 30th, forgive me it is, it is Wednesday, it's the 27th. They will be there on the 30th and on the 1st of October and they're asking for anybody who can volunteer time that are with any of the engineer groups, they also need some Armstrong. They're going to be working on fortifications, sandbagging and also they're going to be giving a class on the same. So everybody, these are in, right? This is one of the regular engineer units. These guys just did a bunch of work at Naga Hitch. Remember the culvert here a couple weeks ago? We can half go. And they're gonna be back up at Naga Hitchum the 30th of September and the 1st of September. They're also gonna be over at Emmerich real quick, but they don't need any help there. They've already got people in place. It's a short project. That'll be a jump, so it'll be over at Probably Camp Emmerich on Friday night. Be over to the next facility on Saturday morning. So everybody use your pin number and the ultra net connection to connect with the straw boss for the task this weekend. What I think is Lieutenant Kelcer. I think I'm right on that one. I'm pretty sure I am. So yeah, Lieutenant Kelcer is the Person you don't want to talk to and Again, you guys have the numbers and information should go from there. Oh next Let's see also before I forget it is weapons Wednesday, but over it Oh once again, I'm going back to apex gun parts. No, they don't advertise with us apex gun parts has Humanitarian rations now go take a look at the price We have bought pallets of these. They are in excellent condition. They are minimized, but they're maximized. What do I mean by that? Well, you get 10 bundles per case. Each bundle is sufficient number of calories for a single person for a whole day. So instead of issuing out three separate MRE meals, The idea was that you hand this bundle out to somebody and everything is there that they needed however they want to divide it up or if they want to pick down and eat it all which not really good for them, but they could do it. The idea is that one way or another everything that they needed for the day in calories is in those pouches ready to go. These are vegetarian. They are designed so that you will not offend the holy cow people and you will not not offend the people who of course are the Muslim faith. In other words, there's no pork and there's no beef. So for that reason, they made them neutral. But the calorie count is there, the proteins are there. It's a good meal pack. I already have eaten one. Yum, yum, yum. And what's interesting about it is that again, it's an odd company to have them. ApexGunParts.com. The package itself, the system was done by Sopaco. But they're not listed as SOPACO on the outside of the box. They're listed as US Government Humanitarian Aid Distribution Meals. They are a good choice price-wise. You'll have to obviously have them truck shipped unless you're within reasonable proximity of Colorado. So again, you're going to want to check to see what the truck price cost is to your doorstep. Remember, it's usually cheaper if you use a loading point somewhere, rather than if you try to drop it off residential, because that last leg is where they usually tag it on a lot of extra fees. So if you can get it where they can slide in, roll the pallets off and run like hell down the road, and it's close to you, that would probably be your better choice. Again, the cases are designed to be manhandled by a number of different smaller people. So, they're not overly heavy. They are, in fact, I think the perfect balance of weight to food. The other thing I would point out is that normally when people are showing you how to use the MREs, they're telling you to police them down. In other words, take all the excess cardboard off, etc. to minimize the weight. I don't know, that's toilet paper you won't have later. Oops, did I say that? Yes, yes I did. Or Firestarter. Maybe still after it was used as toilet paper because you can't waste anything. But the fact of the matter is that all the cardboard boxes are not on these things, so they're actually stripped. So when you pull the pouch out, it's a plastic, clear plastic, heavy gauge bundle. And in it, you can see all the different food components. There is no extraneous packaging. So all you do, you could just, you grab it, stuff it into your kit, your backpack or whatever you're gonna do with it. And you don't have to open the bag up. You don't have to minimize, because it's already been minimized. So in that respect, it's a good choice. Now, here's the thing. It has all the calories you need for a day. I would recommend that you still throw in if you're worried about, you know, I need some, I need meat with my meal. Well, take your pick. Go to Dollar Tree, go to All These, go to whatever store you want. We bought out one of the Menards. They had a Retort pouch, metal foil pouch, chicken for 69 cents a pouch. And guess what? It's perfect. It's an MRE. It's actually a little heavier gauge or at least equal in weight as far as the packaging goes to a standard MRE. So I don't know if you'd call it chicken loaf. It's better than chicken. Chicken loaf is okay, but it's better than chicken loaf. However, if I was going to throw one of these ration packs in, take your pick of can of corned beef, canned mackerel, or one of these pouches of chicken. It would just add to the amount of protein, also oils, and that wouldn't be a bad idea. But one way or another, you pretty much, this is a good choice, it's over at apexgunparts.com. I've seen them, we've got them, we know what they are, and they are definitely worth the price. Basically, you're looking at three meals for a lot less per meal. If you calculate, you normally have three rations, you issue out. You have one big bundle pet ration, you issue out. You end up with the same calories, it's done. So it's a good choice. Now you add more goodies to it, eat more like a king. You know, this is how it is. And on that note, again with free shipping, I believe what, 40 cases per pallet. So pretty straightforward math. Go take a look at Apex. Look at what they have. Humanitarian rations. You'll see what I'm talking about. Very easy to find. Next. With regard to the AK, there are a number of things, if you're listening right now and you only have a few AK mags, let me help you to get rid of some of your woes real quick. If you go over to CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com, go over there and then go look up AK-47 magazines. Why do we wanna go there and look up AK-47 mags? Well, they still have the Polymer, smoke-colored magazines five for $20. Now, are these great mags? Well, they're good enough. Are they, you know, going to last forever, super durable? Probably not. But if you only have a couple of mags, you're telling me you're poor, this is a way to have more firepower that you can add to your tactical load until you can upgrade one at a time, you know, as you move to other magazines. These are great for what we call breakout kits. Which is if you're in a firefight you're actually in a or in a situation with a defense These are mags that you would shoot and drop you don't drop your good mags you drop these mags. They're okay mags they are Nothing you're right home about they are incredibly cheap and When you shoot and drop the idea is that guess what you're either gonna win and you might come back and pick them up and or you don't make it and you don't care because you're not going to be there to pick them up now. Right? See how that works. So, the book of Price is right. We've seen them. They work. They load. They do everything they're supposed to do. However long they'll do it, we'll find out. But so far we haven't really tested a bunch of them by burning out a bunch of ammo to destruction because they're not there for that purpose. They may only fire 30 rounds and be dropped and not touched by you again. If you're using them in a combat contact situation, this means you're focusing on shoot and drop load. Shoot, drop, load. See how that works? Don't worry about trying to stick it back in a pouch or a grab bag. Try to if you can. If you're in a defensive position, you don't care. It'll be sitting right there in front of you. You go through it and find out what works and doesn't work afterwards. But this is the best price for any any AK mags out there anywhere in the country right now It is over at Center fire systems comm center fire systems comm center fire systems comm AK mag bundle five polymer smoke colored AK 47 mags for $20 it's a little less but I'll just round it up to $20, you know, 99 95 1995 with tax license and dealer preparation He's an Earl Shadd paint job. Earl Shadd, no extras. That's right. Unlike the Pepe Peeler paint job, you know we have a certain topo here. I had that paint job done down in Texas. And what's funny is the guy that was getting me the work, the person to do the job, looked right at him and said, I don't want to hear about this peeling later. Well, the guy had some financial issues going on that we knew about. I always give a person a chance. And he really needed the work because he needed the money because he had to deal with a problem with his son. Okay, you might imagine what that problem would be with Juan. So anyway, what happened is, unfortunately, no, no, it's done right. You can cut corners. And the problem is that if you cut those corners, you will see down the road the end result. Well, we're seeing the end result. hood's fine otherwise it just doesn't have any paint on most of it now. Okay? It's progressively been peeling back and rolling off so you know the Pepe Peel job is what was done. Beware! We warned you about that. You know what? I never heard of that happening with an Earl Shite paint job. You know that? The one good thing about Earl Shive, $29.95 can bring it into Detroit, park it there for a night, hopefully you don't take the wheels. And by God, you came back, the paint job was there. It may not be the prettiest paint job, but you know what? It's stock. We didn't have the Pepe Piedel routine going on. Maybe a little over spray on the rubber and the glass, but that's okay. That's what razor blades are for. That's right. But you get it done right. And when you were done, you were happy because you got a good product for the price. So Earl Shive. A piece of Americana, maybe some of you will never know. Earl Schein was still in business. I may be wrong, but it's been a few years since I've heard the name again, but actually, it's not a $29 paint job anymore, needless to say. Interestingly enough, other things going on here are A-case. We know that there are not more coming in from those places that are now deemed to be evil. But, they're also not coming in from the friendly locations, for the most part. Why? Well, because everybody's keeping their production on hand just in case they're going to fight a war. And it might be with us. So, they're planning on building everything they can for themselves. However, again, if you go through some of the parts companies, Sarco, not so great sometimes. Not in the state age for AKs. But a couple other companies to look at is, again, gunpartscorp.com, gunpartscorp.com, if you need to finish out something you might have started as a project in the AK world. And just as a reminder, but you never know what you're going to run into, is a company out of California called What a Country! Oh boy. Yep, What a Country. You remember that little moniker, that little, it was a line that one of the comedians was using? Oh, What a Country! Well, that's the name of the business. They have unique items here all the time. They do magazines. They don't have a vast number of items listed on the page. A good number, but not vast. However, what they do have every once in a while, they snag stuff you can't find anywhere else. And they do have AKA material because their connections are with the Israelis in the Middle East, etc. Many places exotic like that are not so exotic. Israel's not that exotic. But anyway, unique places. And one of the things that they do is they do run into these often in magazine deals. So you want to spot check them every once in a while. You never know what's going to be there. I can't even guarantee from one week to the next. But they do also have barrels. And every once in a while, M.A.R. 15, sometimes European gun barrels, sometimes it could be anything. And even some stuff for the daywoos. So, if you've got a day-wee rifle that might need a replacement barrel, that might be one of the places you want to check every once in a while to see if they got the product that you need. And if they do, well, run with it, because you won't probably find it anywhere else. Anyway, that is, again, whatacountry.com. Whatacountry.com. Now, uh... Hey, Mark, can I slide something in? Go right jump in on did you know that over 10,000 Ukrainians have surrendered via the 149.2 o o Volga frequency that Russia's set up 10,000 have Surrendered that sounds like more than half their army. Well, it's a little bit of this way considering the the short size on brigades You know on formations the size of formations guys used to be a division was 14 to 16,000 that would be half a divi- well by today's standards It could be a whole div- equivalent to a division Now at the very least what three to two medium brigades Especially where they're light malefors because they don't have enough equipment and they've lost a lot of people very likely So now that makes sense The big thing here again is, well, they're trying to squeeze every last penny out of the United States they can. It's money laundering. The Jewish mob, the traders that are bought and paid for whores that are in Washington working for the kosher mafia. Green just did a broadcast tonight talking about the fact that they voted down the latest appropriation, Bill Y. Well, because it had money that they were demanding for Ukraine and everybody said no. It's like, well you have to, no, but it's appropriations for the government. Well, tell you what, you peel off the Ukrainian money and everybody has said that they'd be more than happy to vote, you know, pay for or buy what was on the list, you know, at least, you know, give it a thumbs up. for what was proposed for American spending, but nobody, but nobody, but nobody wants to give money to the Ukrainians so that Zelensky and the Jewish mob can buy more mansions. They're trying to milk every last dollar, milk every last dollar they can out of the country before the scam fails. So they wanted another, they were going to slide another 310 million out the back door with the latest appropriation scam and it didn't work. So now they're pissed. The thing is, everybody else, the American people are completely up to speed on this and, well, the American people are more pissed. So they've kind of, between the rock and the hard place, they may realize that they're at the limit with regard to how much they can steal under the table from America. Which is also dangerous because it's as likely as not they'll try to get us killed. Now the parasite slash the small hat wearers will desperately try to start something to get your children killed and you killed that American soil because of the vast army of terrorists slash Illegal aliens that the same traitors in Washington slid across the border See so Yeah, I'm into anti-semanticism. I really do. I have no interest whatsoever in any thing that counts. to live in this way
