A couple of changes to the design include an ambidextrous safety lever and Krinckoff inspired sight. However, the rear sight uses an aperture or peep sight. If you're interested in one or both of these fantastic guns, you can find out more at the SAM 7R-6H rifle and SAM 7K-03 pistol product pages. The rifle is priced at woo! Oh, get your toilet paper out. This is a nose bleeder for me. $1,349 and the pistol is a bit less at $1,199. Real world prices are normally substantially less than manufacturers suggest a retail price, although currently the AK market is a bit crazy still.

If you've got the cashola, I know like I said with the $250 e-cigarette battery too, I'll never see that. But hey, it looks nice. Looks pretty sweet to me. But we are at the top of the hour, so our bottom of the hour. So we're going to take a bottom of the hour break and we'll be right back with a... After these messages from our sponsors here at Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com we'll be right back. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, 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 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 trampled each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave of the land of the free and home for our friends of the turquoise Hawk afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, north, south, and west. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. We'll say hi to all our merchant marine operators, Anchorage, Harbor Masters, Stivadores, everybody who's had the word passed on to them in digital or analog. Thank you for rebroadcasting us. We appreciate that. And you guys are doing that as a freestanding mechanism, totally separate from everything else Patriot effort does. and you are part of the Patriot effort too, but virtually around the planet. So we want to say thank you. Uh, moron, let's see what I want to call this chitolighting instead of satellite. There's another system for getting the image and sound over the horizon that I was told about. More on that in a minute. Anyway, we're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday, it is the 15th of November. It is the 15th year of open, obvious, and pissy in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K, 2023, old earth calendar. Give it all she's got, Captain. And 2023, Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue and we have. Well, we got the music we know exactly how to play so for everybody out there again, congratulations to our individuals with the 218th section of the Wolverine militia corps Wolverine of course Wolverines the the traditional Wolverine militia corps and And I understand that we have a couple of people who have been doing some significant organizational reconstruction and recruiting. The 218th is down here in the southwestern part of the state of Michigan, but they have, of course, friends and affiliates all over. The 218th is a signal communication and also a mess kit unit. They started out right from the beginning being quartermaster. and supply and support. And we've kind of routed a lot of material or ideas their way. Well, they finished organizing what is now a fully fleshed out with the 25% overage in personnel. And this means that they have approximately 216 people involved in the unit. This includes auxiliaries for replacement operations if they mobilize for local use. and to create a logistics hub in the field to support tactically, militia units of whatever type, no matter what formation. And these guys have taken and embraced a whole lot of ideas that are unique and much more streamlined than the drivel and garbage we see with the donut of destruction and the wasteful efforts there. The big thing is that the unit commander is a friend, somebody that I've known for now 40 plus years. And that's Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller and I serve together. And I want to say hi because Mr. Miller is a very competent individual. He's younger than I am by a little bit, but not much. Neither one of us are spring chickens. But Mr. Miller is now the OIC for the 218th section, Wolverine Militia Corps, Southwestern Division. And keep up the good work. And again, anything that I can do to help. We always point to things during the program here. And if hopefully you guys go out and clean the shelves off. That's just how it should be. We do what we can. Anyway, again, good work. Well done. And we'll be talking and probably seeing each other this night. If not this weekend, it'll be two weekends out. We have another administrative meeting for militia command elements that will be at our effect. Hold on. I'm going to go bring that up while we're talking about it. Yeah, the Thanksgiving weekend. Everybody's still going to be doing the Thanksgiving thing, but we have a series, and these will be face to face. We don't do any electronic crap. All that's cut out of the system completely. But as it is, again, the 24th through the 26th, barring holiday attendance for whatever needs to be done. And needless to say, there's also some people who are going to be traveling in from other parts of the country. I understand we've got some people coming in from Louisiana and also from Arkansas. We haven't had people from Arkansas up here in a while, but we have a delegation that will be here for the command and control meeting, and we appreciate that. A lot of other people are going to be in and out, so it's going to be a very busy, busy, busy weekend. And we appreciate again all the help that's going to be taking place there with, for instance, the 218th. They're going to be providing to a degree, kind of like catering slash mess. Well, they're a mess kit unit, so they're going to be actually providing food and support operations. That's what they do. So they're pretty cool. Combat infantry mess kit unit, right? I know there's the mess kit unit, but some of the best units I've had in the field As far as watching for performance, surprisingly enough for the support units, not the infantry formations. Support units usually are, for whatever reason, they got an attitude because they got to try and make up for the nature of their MOS and the tasks they're involved in, which is pretty cool. So anyway, next on the horizon here, it is Weapons Wednesday. I have to point out that there are a number of magazine deals. Now, as far as I know, I know they've sold out of the connectable mags. Darr confirmed that those are gone. But over at Botache or Botac or Take a Pick, whatever you want to call it. Botachet. How's that sound? Or Botachet. There we go, Botachet. I'm going to be, I'm going to be a, and also a freshman, I would say is Botachet. The C-S is not pronounced, depending on where you are. And I'm from Eastern Port-au-France. So anyway, Botachet. Yeah, both decks. Well, remember, French, okay, Parisian French is the most abusive French you can speak. Always remember that. If you want harsh French, Parisian French. I didn't want to talk. Maybe you have to talk. You are talking down. It's kind of like what the Japanese do with the way their construction is. Most Koreans will always tell you that, man, you sound like you're Japanese. Whenever I've tried to work on Korean, No, you have to lighten up a bit here, okay? So, however it is, it's B-O-T-A-C-H. Now, let's have some fun. Let's clean their store out the rest of the way, at least in these mags, if they have any left. They may be gone. I've not checked this afternoon. But if you go over to B-O-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-A-C-H-H-C-H-H-C-H-C-H-C-H-C-H-C-H-C-H-C There we go. So for everybody, if you're looking for less expensive mags for 98 apiece, these are polymer. They're normally about $13 apiece in location. This is a gimme thing there. I think they're down on the inventory because it didn't take long to clear out the connector type, which had a side cell connector so that you could have two or three mags stacked up side by side by side. While one's in the bag, two are outside, but laying. Right next to the magazine. Well, so anyway good mags everybody I've talked to so far that bought 22 3 40 of them. They've already got them in the house and My most people did what I kind of thought myself they bought four or two of the connectibles and Then they bought everything else is just the standard mags Now, why would you do that? Well, something we've talked about many times. If you can't carry a drum or if you don't have, you know, let's just say you're in traveling mode. Traveling can be, it is supposed to be not expecting contact, but our policy is we're always tactical. We condition and train all of our troops that we're always tactical. They're tactical. There is no rest, okay? It's just you're moving faster until something makes contact and now you're right back into level one as opposed to level three traveling, okay? So if you can't get a drum or if you don't have drums or maybe you don't like drums the one cool solution Which a lot of people do used to be a tape mags one upside down from the other you pull the one out you stick you flip the flip the kit put the other one in the only problem with that is if you have to go to earth your the top of one of your mags is is down and and stuff can happen. Boo-boos can take place. In this case, these magazines sit with a spacer. There's a connector and they kind of like just sandwich together. And when you drop the first mag into the magazine well, the other is, if you only use two, one in, one out, the other mag is just stood off enough that it doesn't interfere with the operation of the magazine. When you fire, okay. empty. Well, you drop pull the mag down, index your hand to the left or right depending on how you've oriented the magazine, insert the mag, pop, you know, slap the release and okay, way you go. So it's the next best thing to the solution of a 75 or 100 round drum or a 50 round drum if it's 308 so you can... In other words, saturate fire on an aggressor who has ambushed you. It may also just be random contact where you still want to put suppression fire and volume on the shooters so that you can distract, disorient, or kill. Kill's good, wounds okay. But that was the reason for these. Well, those are all sold out first. So not worried about that, but we should have explained better. You can see a lot of images of how these work. Sometimes some of the web pages that sell stuff actually have little videos. I don't think Botash had anything on this that I saw. But I think it's easy to understand. So if you got them, like several of the guys who bought 40 of those mags, bought 20 for each gun. They bought two of the connector types. And the two connector types are the ones that will go in the handout weapon as a solution for volume fire, you know, volume fire answer when the time comes. So that's an idea. Go ahead, jump in there. Those mags are still available at Botash, the ETS mags for $4.98 and they are originally $16.98, so $17 down to $5.00. Hoorah! Again, I can't beat the price. Guys, I always hear people telling me they don't have enough money to cover all of whatever. Well, I understand that. These do still cost money, but they're a lot cheaper than everything else out there. Now you may have a bunch of PMAGs or some PMAGs and you're thinking, well Mark, I'm going to save up and I'll keep buying PMAGs. Oh, don't stop buying PMAGs. But right now you need every pocket and a couple of bandoliers full of 30 round mags. We want you up to the table ready to fight. So I don't care where you get them from, but that's what you need to do. Go ahead, call her, jump in there. This is Carl Virginia. It's my say I've used some of those VPS mags some of the ones that clap together and some that don't and They're decent mags. I haven't had any problems with them. They're just as reliable as a p-mag I have limited training experience with them I mean I've hit up the drop them on the concrete deck and all that just fine and they they work So I have no complaints about on the good mags and we talked about a couple weeks ago magazines as an investment if there's another magazine ban, a bulletin ban, whatever. Those things will sell for at least 50 bucks a piece. Yeah, crazy town. Exactly. And one of the things about these is remember, these are the mags. If I pay, if that's the mag I paid $5 for, plus you're going to pay some shipping. Let's not forget that. There's some shipping on these. It's a little under a dollar if they come to Michigan per mag. So whatever the shipping is, depending on where you are, you'll have to figure that out. So, they're a $6 mag. Well, they're still cheaper than anything else that's available, other than comparable with what I'm going to mention in a minute here. But the idea is that these are the mags that go into those drop bandoliers. These are the mags that you load up right off the bat to get everything up to specs that you're at 100% combat load. You may be poor, but you're still not, you're still squared away. Now, did I tell you to stop buying whatever your favorite mag is? No, not at all. Every time you buy more PMags, they replace in your primary combat load whatever it is you want to trade out. And then those other mags go into making another bandolier full of magazines. Or if you have two weapons and then maybe three, maybe you build another AR-15, you have complete combat kits. that at least are basic and ready to go. And you've continued to upgrade or improve if you really believe that they own whatever mag is the cats meow, that's great. These are the fillers and you need them. In most cases, I'm gonna tell you something right now. Give you a few minutes worth of fighting time. You're gonna find out how fumble-fingered you get, how things fall. First rule, you drop something in a kill zone. You aren't going to get it. You all understand that. I can't emphasize this enough. It is horrible to train. You got to condition people out of it. They drop something. They think they can fumble back and grab it. While that magazine is valuable, it is not worth your life. Now realistically, what's going to happen? Maybe somebody will scoop it up on the way through if they're lucky, or maybe they'll kick it towards you while they're busy running, because it could do that. But otherwise, you have to figure you're going to lose things. They're going to get broken. They're going to get shot. They're going to get just gone. And you need to have volume in equipment. You need a reserve of material so that when the time comes you're able to effectively fight. And that's where this comes in for the moment. This will get you, you know, again, on the table after we, you know, get everything else squared away. We can work our way down whatever other shopping list you got step by step by step. You'll be happy. But you'll also more likely be alive if we do what we're talking about here because You'll have all the tools in the toolbox right from the jump off if it were to happen tomorrow Could you actually? operate effectively Well, probably not. If you only got four or five mags, because that's what you thought you could afford, no. You could fight, but you'd still not be as effective as a person who's completely kitted out, ready to go. Does that mean that that's the solution to everything? No, you still have a tag of bullet in the air in the door nail 15 minutes from now. Sorry, just how it works. Those what-ifs we can't handle, can't do anything about. But as far as being prepared, go ahead. Carl, is your computer? Yeah, Carl, again. I just want to say that in a bit before I'll reiterate, A lot of people out there, they think having maybe three magazines, I think that's a lot. There's a lot of people and they might be very avid shooters too. And they just have no clue about magazines. They think that three is way more than enough. Gonna make it. Or as we say, I'll repeat it again, enough to get you in trouble son, but not enough to get you out. Let's keep that in mind. Our mission is to make you combat effective, okay? To be effective in the field. So this is one of the reasons we harp on this item. Magazines and ammunition. Ammunition and magazines. More of all. More is gooder. Just that simple. And again, it's not difficult. This is an excellent solution to the problem. And it is a minimal cost issue for you. Now that's bowtash, and by the way when you go to bowtash they have some battle blouses over there for $6 apiece, you need to go through them. If any of you guys listening are the big guys that have called in before, they have some 4x and 5x battle blouses over there in either like the under armor configured type shirt. and a number of other odds and ends things that pop in. Now some of it, you're gonna hate it because it's time wasting because yeah, they're listing that something's there and it's not gonna be there. I know how that works. But the big thing here again is go see if it's something that makes sense for you, especially if you're a bigger guy. Whenever they put stuff in clearance, usually when they first put it in clearance at Motash, there's a good selection. So you wanna keep an eye on Motash on a regular basis. and snag what it is that you need to keep you warm and dry when the time comes and comfortable. You need spares, you need extras, you need more of. So this is the way to do it. Minimize the cost in one direction, now I can afford a lot more goodies than the other. So, another thing, now let's switch over to CenterfireSystems.com. Number one, the Turkish mags that I have told you all about many, many, many times, it went up in price over at Centerfire systems. Well, the regular price listed one way on their page is expensive by comparison. Twice the price, or a little more actually than twice the price, forgive me I'm wrong. A little more than twice the price. However, they have a sale and if you buy the individual Turkish mags, they're back down to $4 a piece for the AK-47 standard 30 round mags made by Turkey. Are they serviceable? Yep, everybody's gotten so far has had no problems. They are snug, which is what you want. Do not, do not listen to anybody. They wrote up on their page about changing the dimensions of your magazine well to accommodate a cheap mag. You don't do that. Do not, never, never. You guys are smart enough that you can tune a magazine. Trust me, I know you can. But you do not alter your personal firearm. Your personal firearm, it works with all the other mags you have. Why would I want to change it for one of the less expensive magazines? Well, I don't, you don't. So let's make sure again, we understand that good idea, they work, everybody's happy with them. But they are again, on some weapons, they apparently are a little bit leaky to try and get to operate 100%. In other words, they're tight. Well, that's not a problem. They're plastic. They're easy to take a piece of really ultra-fine emery cloth or sandpaper to the side walls and very, very carefully lap off a little bit of material until that magazine goes in the magazine well. Now, enough on that one. Okay, that mag has been there. It's $4 a piece. It's right there in the deals section at Centerfire, centerfiresystems.com. The second Another $4.98 magazine. It is a steel, appears to be steel, I don't think it's aluminum, I believe it is steel. AR-15 30 round mag, you'll identify the manufacturer when you get there, it's an offbeat. Again, the price is right, as far as I can see, at $4.98 or $0.99, it comes down to $5. But again, it's a useful tool to put in the toolbox for the price. So take that into consideration. Take a look at it. See if it floats your boat. Makes sense. If you don't like the, you know, the plastic mags, these aluminum mags are a solution and will work just fine. So again, it's another direction to go. You might want to mix. I actually, God, I think I have every existing Air 15 mag made for the last 40 years. Well, at least. Tons of mags from the Donative Destruction, God knows how many of those, and that includes Action Arms, my favorite. Go ahead, jump in there. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia again. If I was gonna choose between those, I think you can tell about three different AR magazines for like five bucks, I'd go with the metal ones. And the reason being is the metal ones are always gonna fit in all magazine pouches. All right, there's a lot of gear out there. If you try to put a PMEG or any of the other plastic magazines between the slightly longer lengths, the PMEG is made to actually hold 31 rounds. That way when you load 30, there's a little bit of play in there. And also the plastic magazines all have wider floor plates. So that makes it harder to fit these in traditional M16 magazine pouches. The other thing is the metal ones always work in the kind of oddball rifles that that uh using 16 magazines I'm talking about the SCAR especially if you use a gen 2 PMAG and a SCAR it won't work but a gen 3 will you're not gonna be able to do that out on the field well that's what I'm gonna again that's one I haven't had time to play with yet I'm sure eventually they'll be one of the mix there are SCARs that our allies have but good point again The big thing here is it's personal flavor preference. If somebody's listening and you didn't know those were there, then it's the idea that here's a comparable magazine to something you might already have committed to. And again, these are the three best buys. The first is an AR mag. That's over a bowtage. The second one I mentioned is an AK-47 magazine. It's the Turkish ones. And those are $4 a piece. Again, they're throwers. They work. They work fine. We've got buckets and buckets and buckets of them that everybody here is using. And they've, again, they're not their, you're not your first choice from being top of the line. They're acceptable. They're serviceable. They work that's the most important thing you pull the trigger they go boom, you know, they load they go boom They read they eject they don't interfere with the ejection process and the real you reload again and go boom Machine does it all by itself without you doing anything on pulling the trigger. So Again, if you have an interest in any of them, first one is bowtash.com, bowtash.com. The second is centerfiresystems.com, Center Fire Systems. And they do have a bunch of other stuff there right now. Meanwhile, before we get started, at Center Fire, they have a $5.99. It's saying it's a used metal mag. Manufacturer says unknown. So I don't know what they are. I'm looking at the pictures. I don't see any things listed. But the one guy who commented and gave it a good rating said that... Oh, hell, forgot what he said. He said something. He was pretty happy with it. He said, oh, that's right. He said they look like they're new, not used. So I don't know what the case is. But $5.99 for a metal mag over there at Center Fire. Over. There we go. Excellent. And by the way, they are mags. I'm sorry, just to make make that clear. And that's over at center fire systems.com center fire systems.com. And we're at the bottom of the hour, which means Hey, and I got a run, but I just want to let you know, there is a guns and gadgets new one from last night with a the craziest judges ruling he's ever heard where the judge said that your Second Amendment rights only consider keeping and bearing arms not obtaining them. So you might want to play that. That's a 10 minute thing. I got a bug out of you guys. I got to do your over. Here we go. This is my rifle. There are many. One is mine. Without my useless. I am useless. I'm the rifle. True. He shoots me. Before God. My rifle. We are the men. What mind you've managed to fill is in our valleys There is danger, and there's danger in our hills Oh, here you're not stumbling in all the fields of wild and free But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle In our hands will prove no frightful You may ride a good late speed, you may know it's turn to master You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys and your leader John Stark Glad you make up little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, we'll prove no strife No graves at home, back across the briney water. A giddy must come, as well as a student's lawyer. But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun. If vengeance figure hold a butt through, the quicker it will be done. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, no truth, no truth, rifle. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. In our hands, no truth, no truth, rifle. right here, your rifle is your first best friend. Of course your primary weapon is your brain, your mind, your mind is your first best weapon, but if you don't protect it with physical property of some kind, somebody will walk up, either clubby like a baby seal, put a bullet in the back of your head, and end your life in a number of different horrific ways, settling the idea of whether or not you were smarter than the guy on the other side. In other words, you failed. So let's make sure that does not happen. victory is not assured but victory can be achieved as long as you stay focused. We have a lot of work to do. So again, Botash.com for the AR-15 mags and other things. It's not the only thing Botash has obviously. And you do need to keep an eye on their clearance section. Also, CenterFireSystems.com is what we were referencing just now. Next. Yeah, okay, beware, beware, beware. I have now seen about a half a dozen little pop ups in comments, not with us, not in the Patriot Movement, but in general communist media talking about gas masks as weapons. Now first of all a gas mask is not a weapon and anybody who is stupid enough to parrot that you need to, well give them an opportunity as I said a moment ago, club them like a baby seal for being the idiot slash incompetent slash lying fool that they are or just wicked person that needs to be gone from our presence. However what this means is they are obviously tooling towards a NBC nuclear biological chemical attack, it is becoming more obvious that they are pitching in that direction. I cannot emphasize enough that you need a protective mask. Once you got it, you're done. Go on to do other things. But everybody, all of you listening, no matter who it is that's listening, you need a protective mask. You need a gas mask. You need one ASAP. It doesn't have to be the most expensive. And remember, you can upgrade a mask very easily by simply what? Well, that's right, changing the filter, all, you know, moving to a different filter. So the most important thing right now is first have the basic tool and its components, like everything else getting to the table. Least expensive for the moment still and getting a brand new mask off the shelf is over at gunpartscorp.com. Gunpartscorpcorp.com. Gunpartscorp.com. They have a brand new M1 Nokia built mask that was made for Serbia, but it's a finished mask. It is virtually brand new old inventory. They are excellent masks. There is nothing wrong with them. I have many of them. They also have a case lot of the filters available. Go check to see what the latest price is. Every once in a while they have come down and had a sale. That's not the case right now, but the price is still for the number of filters you're getting, it's the best price in the country. You get a case of filters, get a number of masks, and your basic needs are met. Now, do you need to upgrade or can you upgrade? Well, yeah, there's all kinds of things you can do. And I will point out that, as I've said many times, guys, you can spend any money you want on nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. It's just like taking care of any other subject in the shooting circle, the shooting sphere. You can spend any amount you could possibly imagine and do whatever your little heart desires. But in this case, you're minimizing the cost to one end. You're getting at least something for basic nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. Most importantly is that radiological is going to be the primary concern. That's what's obviously on the books that while they may or may not go after Iran, the Israelis will probably dump something in our lap and point it whoever else. This is what they did with 9-11. Same kind of tripe where you know, they set the problem up step by step They fabricated the conditions and then they executed the action now in this case It's not hard to be prepared for this problem And the big thing is that once you got it you can get on to other tasks We've got all these other things on the list of things to do. So you take your pick There's a dozen different companies out there, a hundred actually, but prices will vary. Beware, because just because it's expensive doesn't mean it's the one you want. It just means it's expensive. Okay, let's remember that. Oh, that's a most expensive one. It must be the best. No, that doesn't mean anything. That just means it's cost a lot. Okay, so there's a lot of privateers out there. There's going to be a lot of scallywags that are going to get into this as things get more serious. And I believe right now, wholeheartedly, seriously, guys, that the enemy, they're throwing too many Qs out there, just like they did before. That's why I told you they were either going to do a nuke or a biological weapons attack, fake attack, before the coronavirus. Look what we got. We got the fake biological weapon attack. Why could I say that? Because there are tells. There are a number of tells right now that are indicators that the Shysters, the lying sacks of feces, are going to try to do something like this again. And we need to be prepared for it. I don't care about everybody else, and most people sit on their hands and did ask and do nothing. Not your problem. But the most important thing is while they're gasping for breath or scrabbling at their throats, that you not be near them when that happens. A very bad health situation for you, okay? People go a little crazy in the head. The only good thing about not having air protection, I should say air threat protection, is that you're only gonna have about five to ten minutes to worry about it. Depends on the concentration, whatever you got hit with, and also how serious it is. But, After that, they're not really a problem. They're gone. It takes a lot less time. It's not like water or food where it takes a lot longer to die. The weapon systems that they're planning on using, well, asphyxiation is pretty quick. As a matter of fact, still very uncomfortable though, by the way, and could be possibly completely avoided. if everybody made their effort, but you know how that is. We'll see what happens. Again, over there at gunpartscorp.com, but budk.com, major surplus. Everybody has some of the defense technology on the shelf. Pick out what it is that you feel is appropriate. Do the research yourself. You don't have to listen to me. I have no problem with you picking your own direction. In fact, I expect you to. I would hope that you do. That's your job. It's your mission in life. You're supposed to be in charge. However, the important thing is, dual setting. You're the pilot and accomplish the task as quickly as you can. Don't hesitate, don't wait, finish it, and get on to other things. Another element here that we need to be looking at, and don't forget chem suits, booties, duct tape, gloves, the whole nine yards. There's more than enough videos on the subject. figure out what it is that either is SOP for your unit or move on and find the you know solution to best fit your wallet there. And if you have a lot of money don't have to worry about that. If you're incredibly wealthy maybe and you're just listening for the leisure and pleasure of it somebody else has got your ear. Congratulations. In addition to that Right now, we've heard about the ignition bulk issue. 7.60 by 39 you'll notice is indexing down. Everybody's like, oh yeah, well everything's fine. No, no, no, no, no. 7.60 by 39 is indexing down and it's obvious. All you have to do is start looking at the flavors available and it'll kind of tell you something. Now it doesn't mean it. I have not said panic about this, but common sense prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Our goal is to be ahead of the curve and while everybody else might later on be panicking, right now as long as you just smile and wave and anybody else who makes a stupid comment, you continue to pick up more and you are going to be a very happy individual when the time comes. Ammunition is an investment issue. My recommendation, although we may see it, we do have some, you know, on the horizon, some really great solutions. Palmetto State Armory is building its own ammunition. They're in the process of this right now. They are a completely American company. They're inside the United States. They already make AK-47s. If you don't know that, along with the AR-15s, etc., etc., etc. And right now they are in the process of perfecting their 7.62x39 production line. Now they're making their own bullet, not just, oh, come on, let me just say bullet. We're talking projectile. They're making their own projectiles. They're making their own cases. They're apparently gonna be probably sourcing with whatever primers are available for the time being. And they also, of course, have to come up with a propellant, a powder, whatever they're gonna be doing there. Don't know what those solutions are, but there are several American companies that they could be purchasing from. So it's on the horizons, not here yet though. And for that reason, we need to take advantage of the resources that are available. We need to dot all the I's, cross all the T's, and proceed to build up a deeper, larger, a larger tactical reserve. That is our mission in life. That should be the priority right now. What I have seen, obviously the Tula ammo is still the big lump of junk that came in a while back. There's nothing wrong with it. You know, Tula ammo, as I like to call it. But the Tula ammo is again, also most reasonably priced for the moment. And so it should be your go-to solution for most of you that are trying to at least put a few thousand rounds on the shelf. Ball ammunition first priority when all of that's you know gone and down the road and you know been bought up Whatever's left is the next you know the next step. That's just how it's going to be so I can't emphasize enough To properly store here's the other thing. I know that they sell it to you in cardboard boxes with plastic wrap that is purely for the industry at the moment with the way that it Obviously deals the product you know the product out You immediately need to have another storage system in you know in motion right away. You need to be looking at Whatever it is. It's going to make sense and plastic or metal ammo cans metal would be preferred But yeah, some people may or may not be able to find them locally. I've heard the complaints. I understand what you're talking about however for the most part the Metal cans are available as Ed pointed out the other day and we've seen them appear the same way But they go pretty quick is tractor supply now tractor supply in many cases has a That's interesting. Oh, that's not good at all. No, somebody just pointed something else out to me. Sorry about that guys Tractor supply has what is a 50 caliber 30 caliber? combo The cans are virgin. They're being made by whatever contractor, be it American or Japanese or Chinese or whatever, most likely Chinese. But in this case, again, an excellent solution to get your ammunition out of the weather, I should say, to put more barriers between moisture barriers, between your ammunition and the rest of the world. And this should be a very, very, very high priority for if you're listening, especially with the situation and the way it is. You're gonna wanna be able to move it. You wanna break the material down to smaller, lighter loads. Remember we talked about this before, tactical distribution. You gotta be able to move it. What's the average weight that the average individual can handle? And when I say average, I'm talking about from grandpa to your eight-year-old daughter or son who might be helping to load up the Winnebago or throw it in the back of the pickup truck or whatever. Now about 20 pounds at best, and again that's for a 30 caliber can. The average 50 cal runs up to between 40 and 44 pounds per can. Depends on what it's loaded with and again how much material you obviously have piled up, as you can imagine. So with that being the case, again you need to be looking at also, you know, physical restrictions on your part, not just not just what we're talking about with regard to certain age individuals, but you yourself, if you're the only person in your team, so to speak, well, you better make sure that when you tailor your combat, or I should say your tactical reserve, make sure that it's manageable, that you're able to move it efficiently. And how far can you move it? I can carry a 40 caliber 50 caliber can. A 40 pound, there we go Mark, get it right, 40 pound 50 caliber can. How far? Well, we'll find out my age. But I know that I could, and traditionally in the past, was able to regularly move a 50 caliber can. Now I'm not a spring chicken. So, common sense of dictate that I need to engineer all of my management tools with regard to supply and support so that I can get to where I need to go within a reasonable time and with all the material that I started out with. And management of supply, tactical materials is especially critical. So those ammo cans also again, keep the moisture out. Remember Mr. Ziploc bag is your friend. If you're buying example like, what is it? There's a couple of different max tactical companies. There's different ones out there. One of them, the ammunition came in and 100 count, whole cream containers. They're white plastic, basically coconut oil or face cream containers. There's 100 rounds per container. No, they're sealed. So they are serviceable as is right there. They've got already one layer of protection. If I were putting those anywhere, I would put that and this is not crazy redundancy. This is intelligent process. I would take those containers if I was going to leave them just the way they were. I would take those containers and put them in a Ziploc bag, each of them, and then I'd have a bigger, larger industrial Ziploc bag inside whatever other container, and that would be sealed. Why? Well, the government learned a long time ago to use three layers of protection for moisture defense. Prevent moisture across contamination and damage. Now remember, a lot of your tactical equipment is going to be used in the field. You think you're going to get to pick whether it's rain or shine? You know, you're also not going to have time to worry about, well, God, it's raining. I can't get my goodies wet. No, you're going to open stuff up. We do this with our medical equipment using the miracle tool of this last hundred years, the Ziploc bag, for the exact same reason, because Mr. Ziploc bag keeps the moisture out when I need to use it. If I have it subdivided into other smaller containers inside, Ziploc bags and, you know, in the cans, Then when I open up the can and close it again, I don't care if there is moisture in there, it's going to take a lot longer because I have vapor barriers between the outside area that was contaminated with water and the areas where the material is stored. See how that works? Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We're not coming out of the field, guys. We're going to be in the field for a long time. By the way, have you ever handled military munitions? How many have opened up a standard ammo can that's been sitting out in the back of a deuce and a half and you open it up and everything inside is orange. Everything inside is rusted. It rusted solid but everything that could get got moisture on it has oxidized. Now we don't really want that to happen, so we're going to make sure that we protect the materials, the support equipment, the technology. We're going to be way ahead of the curve on this, way in advance. So again, take the time, figure out, again, whatever you're purchasing. A reason I also bring this up is a percentage of the ammunition coming in from outside, yes, it is in boxes, but it's not in subdivided containers. It's loose, just like we're talking about. It can be loose in cardboard boxes. A bunch of the Turkish ammunition that came in, I don't know which batch it was, but it's loose in boxes. And it's factory ammunition. It's not second reloads, it's factory ammunition. So rattle, rattle, rattle, shake, shake, rattle, rattle, rattle, shake, shake. But also a cardboard box inside a bigger cardboard box, inside a very medium grade Vis-a-queen for a plastic seal. So that's what you got for protecting everything. Well, that's not gonna handle very much. So we need to be, again, turning around, undressing everything, figuring out what you got. You do not wanna make any more work for yourself than you absolutely have to. So you wanna use as much of what's already made available through the manufacturer. And in many cases, there's not a whole lot being offered. Okay, in other words, it's minimal, really minimal. And that's not good for tactical deployments. You have to re-engineer accordingly. There is no such thing as overdoing that, by the way, either. I will never complain about somebody who packs stuff to the point where ain't no way in hell water's gonna get to it. Well, isn't it kind of excessive? Not if I'm gonna cash it somewhere out in the middle of BFE. I may not come back to that cash during this war for two years, three years. Hell, might I even get to it almost the end. May never come back to it until after the war and I'm collecting all the goodies. So we need to make sure that wherever we can, we provide the best protection so that we have the most material available. He with the mostest wins is when the time comes. It's just we got to make sure that it's where it needs to be and we've got everything Ready to roll so that when we pull out of the can it goes into the gun it goes pop pop boom boom and I'm gonna get on with other business Anyway, idea is not just complaining about the problems plenty of people are complaining about problems also Hold on here. Let's double check cuz I know we're getting close Yes, we are. We're not too far up another thing combat load. Let me remind you of something Number one, sidebar and in training, it takes a lot of work to get people used to this. If you're in a casual contact or let's say an integrated defense in depth and you have a combat load, needless to say the first thing to use are stacked mags and whatever other extraneous material is in your fighting station, your fighting position or in whatever it is you've got. You might be in a support vehicle and you have the ability to fire from the vehicle, okay? Use what's being carried by the vehicle or what's in the shoot station bags or in your fighting position shelf first Never start reaching down into your combat load. Here's another thing Once you've shot up everything on your shoot shelves on your shelves that you have, you know, whatever it is Boom rifle grenade. Yeah, the last 340 millimeter rounds boom Boom and don't forget one more. Okay, and then it was pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop pop But about, but about, but about, but about, okay, you're down to, you used all the mags on the shelf. When you switch out to your combat load, let me recommend something that you need to get used to practicing. The target is still 350 to 400 yards out, and you're going to switch, or you're already integrating your personal rifle fire into the umbrella of fire that's been engaging this aggressor. When you drop the first mag out of those shelf mags, and now you have to go to your combat load, reach to the farthest pouch to the rear, and extract that one first. Why would you do that? Well right now, you're in casual mode. Well it's not too casual. Bullets are cracking at you. You're cracking rounds at them. There's heavy stuff going by too. But the target is farther out. So in the time that you have, when I say casual, in other words, I'm actually aiming and individually using, you know, placed rounds. By using the farthest mags back, I leave the closest and most accessible mags for close quarter fire, since obviously the enemy is progressively moving upon me. I want you to start thinking about this. You gotta start working this math. You want to get used to the idea how far you are words if I'm fighting if I'm firing from a defensive position And I have consumed or I have built the defensive position Maybe I have no spare mags other than just my combat load at the farthest point of the beginning of your contribution in terms of the umbrella of different types of fires Your umbrella fire is the greatest range Slow down, but then when you do change mags, won't take long to go through 30 rounds, no matter how hard you try, you know, everybody is always amazing. It's so empty, so fast. Yes, yes it does. The magazines just seem to be empty all on their own. Bang, bang, bang, bang. No, son, you were pulling the trigger. Trust me, I saw it. You were pulling the trigger. But the fact is that in that time with those greater distances, you have the ability to contort and reach those other mags that are reserve mags on your system. But as the aggressor continues to approach, if they continue to aggress and they continue to close distance, you want to reserve those front shortchange mag pockets because every moment counts going from the pocket to the magazine well to slapping to bolt release to bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. Everybody understand what I'm saying? start from the farthest station, which basically, for most of you, will be almost at the eight o'clock on the rear, on the left, and about four o'clock rear, right. And what you do is work forward. That way, by the time you get to those front mag pouches, and hopefully, if you're lucky, somebody's come along and actually has been helping to restock and re-inventory if they could. If you've got somebody that's, that's their mission in life. in a defensive situation, you may be progressively restocked if you're lucky. And if that's the case, then congratulations. Never try to pull from your combat load, magazines or grenades, if you can use other reserves. Because at some point, you're probably also going to do something else. Fall back from your primary position. Well, your primary was your first fighting station, but you have a second tier, a third tier, and a fourth tier. In the process of withdrawing from that position, you want to retain as much of your combat load as possible so you can continue to engage while breaking contact with the aggressor. Something to take into consideration. There are things you need to think about. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We want to keep you all alive. Anyway, we're almost to the top. You are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com and we are at the top. Boy, that didn't take long. This day is flying. For everybody out there, again, you're listening to us on also LibertyTreeRadio.org. Thank you to the Manu Vacuents. It's why you guys decided to sponsor our shortwave time. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution for liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this dilemma, grave. 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 is a free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize. family 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? Oh sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God. to torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now 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? the land of the free and home. Remember your training and you will come back alive. First of all, training. Smell that coffee. Oh, the juice of Saffu. Taste. Runs on its stomach. Yeah, the Army does. But coffee, oh, coffee is the octane. Anyway, for everybody out there, good afternoon. This is the second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West, Southeast, Northwest and ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4md.com libertytreeradio.org and we're on satellite. We'll see how all our merchant marine operators out there, no matter what body of water you're on, we appreciate you guys doing the rebroadcasting work that you do. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Well, it's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 15th of November, halfway through the month as of today. It is the 15th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet. The list occupation of America with a K2023 old earth calendar. I'm giving all she's got, Captain. And 2023 battle for the Republic. The dance of swords let the dance continue. We're gonna make sure it does as a matter of fact We're gonna be the ones playing the music to do that. We need to be squared away So again organize arm equip and train as militia Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations Logistics the key to victory if you understand how to get what you need where you need it tactically Then the war is won, but you have to be dealing with the issues now to prepare for the problems of the future. We're going to get that accomplished. Anyway, it has been a perfect day. This is another one of those blue sky from horizon to horizon. Everybody I talked to all agrees we're going to get hammered. You just said it's beautiful. Yes, I'm not being negative. We're not being pessimistic. We're just being realistic in Michigan. Okay, so we all know what's gonna happen here. Yeah, you got really beautiful wet, and it'll drop right in the toilet and the rest will be history. But again, the panic-stricken, unwashed, terror, you know, extravaganzists are gonna be making all kinds of noise. Be prepared for it and ignore it. It's Michigan, it's winter. This is our fall to winter. This is what happens every year. It's not an if, not kind of, not sort of. It happens every year no matter what. You don't get any choice in the matter of this, okay? Because we have four seasons in Michigan. Really two. Excuse me. So anyway, this is Weapons Wednesday. A couple other things that I did want to mention. You know, I think what we better do before we go any farther, and it was mentioned, guns and gadgets. Ed, if you could Let's bring up the guns and gadgets latest or if you have the other one that Dar recommended that was could be queued up from I believe last night Or so maybe you guys hear one of the worst interpretations of the Second Amendment by a federal judge that I have ever heard in my life How about this one? The Second Amendment covers the right to keep firearms and to bear firearms, but you have no right to obtain them. Oh, my lord. Before I get into this, I'd like to thank the sponsor of the video, and that's the Sonoran Desert Institute. I know a lot of you out there are just like me, like to repair or modify your own guns.

Link is down below and in the pinned comment. Head over there if you want to learn more. Thanks to SDI for being a friend to the channel. Alright, let's get into this one. Like I said, this is... Quite possibly the worst interpretation by a judge I've ever seen other than those crazy judges that say like AR-15s. The Second Amendment doesn't extend to them because they're so scary and spooky. Well, this one is right up there. U.S. District Court Judge John L. Kane. This old coot is 86 years old and was appointed by President Jimmy Carter back in 1977 when I was 2. This is an old coot. Some of the things he has said, I have to read them to you. You have to hear them in order to believe it. Here is the case on the screen. It's the Rocky Mountain Gun Owners and Alicia Garcia versus Jared S. Polis, the governor of Colorado. And this is challenging Colorado's new three-day waiting period as it being unconstitutional, which we know it already is. But... Guys and gals, I want to read you a couple quick paragraphs so that your brain can hurt just like mine. Consider yourself lucky if our paths never cross. Except luck isn't real. I'll buy the sailor and set him fast. Look, I have one. We'll start here in the analysis, the likelihood of success in the merits. After examining the language of the Second Amendment using the Supreme Court's analysis in Heller, I find, for the purposes of plaintiff's motion, that the plain text does not cover the waiting period required by the act. So we just said that the language of this act isn't covered in the plain text. So guess what? Text history tradition. Bruin, right? Therefore, it cannot stand. Ha! This judge is a fool. If you think that... The Second Amendment means exactly what it says. Smash that like button and subscribe to the channel down below. Help this channel out. I appreciate that. Back to this moronic judge. This conclusion is bolstered by the fact that the Act is a regulation on the commercial sale of firearms and thus is presumptively permissible. However, even if the waiting period implicated the plain text of the Second Amendment, the evidence before me establishes that the Act is consistent with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. plaintiffs therefore have not carried their burden to show they are likely to succeed on the merits of their claims. So the judge is saying that this waiting period, a three-day waiting period, is consistent with the firearm regulation around the time of the adoption of the Second Amendment, except there were no waiting periods. None. Check this out. Planets contend that the words keep and bear in the Second Amendment are implicated by the waiting period required by the Act. In Heller, the Supreme Court examined the normal meaning of those words at the time of the nation's founding, reviewing definitions from contemporaneous dictionaries. As the Court explained, the 1773 edition of Samuel Johnson's dictionary of the English language defined keep as most relevantly to retain, not to lose, and to have in custody. And Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language defined it as to hold, to retain in one's power or possession. Based on those definitions, the court concluded the most natural reading of keep arms in the Second Amendment is to have weapons. The court then turned to the word bear and determined that it means to carry. The court clarified that when bear is used with arms, however, the term has a meaning that refers to carrying, for a particular purpose, confrontation. So, putting all the pieces together, the court found that the text of the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation. From this reading of the plain text, it is clear. The relevant conduct impacted by the waiting period, the receipt of a paid-for firearm without delay, is not covered. Is not covered. Still, plaintiffs attempt to equate the words obtain and possess. But these terms are not equivalent. To keep under the definitions provided in Heller meant to retain an object one already possessed. It did not mean to receive a newly paid for item, and it certainly did not mean to receive that item without delay. Likewise, having weapons indicates the weapons are already in one's possession. Not that one is receiving them. So the plaintiffs here Rocky Mountain Gun owners, they've said that hey judge This is covering stuff that people already obtained. Why because they've already paid for it ownership has already been Registered you know for lack of a better term ownership's already been established. How's that? So this is something that they already own the title of the firearms already in their name therefore. It should be covered in this judge Well, he keeps going. But the purchase and delivery of an object, here a firearm, is not an integral element of keeping or having or bearing or carrying that object. Rather, purchase and delivery are one means of creating the opportunity to have weapons. The relevant question is whether the plain text covers that specific means. It does not. Oh, boy, this judge. This judge makes my head hurt. But wait, there's more. Even if purchasing a firearm could be read into the terms keep or bear, receipt of a firearm without any delay could not be, as the Founders would not have expected instant widespread availability of the firearm of their choice. The parties dispute this fact, but I find the expert opinions of Professor Spitzer and Roth on this topic to be convincing. What's he talking about? There's a couple professors that submitted some works with the saying that waiting periods, like, save lives, and we know that they don't. But this judge just said that, yeah, you know what? Keep and bear arms allows you to keep them and bear them, but it doesn't cover obtaining them. It's something I've never heard of. I've never heard a judge say that. Maybe it's been said, but I've never heard it. And even though there aren't any statutes in the historical record that are similar to Colorado's modern waiting period, there are some laws that this stupid old coot judge think are close enough analog to allow the state's three-day waiting period. And which ones did you refer to? Laws forbidding the carrying of firearms while intoxicated. However, those laws, they didn't make you wait three days if you were drunk. You just had to sober up. So this fails. I eagerly look forward to the appeal of this. This judge is about to be eviscerated by the Court of Appeals. This is bad. 86 years old. This dude needs to go back home, like, tend to some sheep or play with a cat, because he's obviously lost his mind. He doesn't know what he's talking about. Unless, of course, he is a judge who is doing what he's been put there to do. Somebody, I'm sure, has helped him in his anti-gun ways get to where he is. And he's paying his dues. So that's just how I feel about it. What do you think about this old, old judges ruling? This guy's been on the bench since I was two years old. That's a long time. Term limits. Yeah, buddy. Guys and gals, thank you for your time. Subscribe to this channel if you want more information like this that happens all around the country. And thank you again for allowing me to do what it is that I do. Can we see Thunder again? Be safe, stay vigilant, and carry a gun to keep you, your friends, your family, your community safe? That's what the Second Amendment is for. Don't care what an 86-year-old judge says. He sure as hell didn't put himself out there to secure that right. We're not giving it up. Take care. Interestingly enough, again, the bottom line is, is the Ring Knackers are going to do everything they can, the Sedgusses and the Pharisees. Oh, you said you see some Pharisees who would thread a camel through the eye of a needle, which is the whole idea here. Again, bollocks, it's just bollocks up time. It's a time waster. Consumption of time and unjust taking is what we're talking about. It's nonstop. It's constant. It's not going to end until we end it. And we're the ones who are going to have to end it. Needs to be no longer a problem as they say so we're working on that anyway It is weapons Wednesday before very farther to I would remind you that If you get a chance go over to Sarco II I think it's a sarco.com They've changed the web page couple the web address for whatever they thought the way of convenience I don't know but sarco look up sarco Inc Sarco is a parts company, been around longer than I've been alive. At least I believe so, I could be off by a little bit. But anyway, they've been around for a very long time. And Sarco has a very interesting parts division, the likes of which nobody else I think in the country possesses, number one. A couple things that they have is miscellaneous surplus and also in-house production of materials, of web gear. Now, you never know what you're going to find there, and right now they have had some really good buys in other camouflage patterns. Some of you that are older might recognize, but you want to go over and take a look at what Sarco has personally produced and is offering. They have row pouches. They're using the Rhodesian. They do have the Rhodesian camo. They paid for that. They do have some of the German patterns, which work really well in other parts of the country, the World War II patterns, camo patterns. But there's also other material and equipment. They are still one of the best prices for US Atlas gear canteen covers. They still have them, I believe, in the 100 count, yeah, 100 count lots. And it's basically a dollar an item. So you can't beat that if you need a bunch of canteen covers. Let's say you're outfitting a whole bunch of people and you're using the TA56 slash M1956 gear along with the TA90 and the equipment, guess what? All of that integrates. So the neat thing is, well, and this is all original, it's surplus equipment grade is I would say between A and B. I've ordered several of these 100-count bundles. They are good. There's nothing wrong with them. They work and they're serviceable. Pretty much nothing to write home about, just basic, good, no, tactical gear. The big thing is, again, if you're looking for quantity, they do have it, but they do also have a lot of other items in inventory that you're going to want to take a look at. And sometimes it's only a few ofs. I would point out that I've talked about, for instance, certain Israeli and Korean weapons. Well, the SACO has a pistol section there with complete firearms, and sometimes they offer the Daewoo pistol. They also offer the a couple of like the Jericho variants infected last time I looked they had three or four of them listed The Jericho and the CZ-75 are pretty much one of the same pistol Again more than serviceable enough some of you may have bought a bunch of them back when the big wave the CC-75s came in through the 90s and into the aughts and They're still out there. There's a number of variants in the pistol. The Jericho's are out there. In fact, I'm fascinated. It looks like a bunch of cop shops bought the Jericho pistol as a standard. If you go over to Motash.com, you will see that a number of Jericho trade-ins where one department or another actually coughed up and got rid of the Jericho Israeli Jericho pistols that they were using and It looks by what I can see it looks like They have magazines available etc. So between these pistols which are a little better price for the Jericho's at Sarco You can pick up a whole ton of magazines over at for the same firearm. Of course, now we're talking of piles. These are lots of their police trade in bundles over at Botash. The individual firearms, the only thing I would say is yes, they do offer the DeWoo pistol. The DeWoo pistol is an excellent firearm, absolutely nothing wrong with it. The only problem is it's an orphan in the United States. What I mean by that is magazines are to a degree available, I guess. I mean, they found them in different spots, but they're ad hoc. And the other issue is, of course, spare parts. So, but the Daewoos are, again, the ones they're selling are serviceable firearms. They would function until they don't. So if you were looking for another cash gun, they've had some pretty good prices on both the Daewoo pistols and certain Jericho's. That's at Sarco. And Sarco does have a lot of other stuff, looking at their web gear, looking at their one of a kind or clearance, as with everybody, to see what they have laying on the shelf. You never know what you're going to run into. And it's definitely a fun trip anyway. If you have any questions, give them a call. That's all I can say. Don't hesitate. In fact, you're always better off doing that. If there's something you're looking for, are you going to send them an email? or you're going to again give them a call and they'll go through the inventory if you're looking for parts. Now, SARCO also has, for instance, they have the usual fare of Glock parts that everybody seems to possess in good number now. There's more just many Glock parts as there are Glocks hanging around. The big thing here is that they also have 1911. That's what they were famous for, is 1911 pistols. Sarco used to build their own frames and I kicked myself in the ass because there were three we got one out of the three but there were three different molds for actually doing air weight 1911s and some of the other 9 millimeter pistols. They stole the molds for $2,000. We did get one we didn't get them all should have broken down and actually acquired everything that they had in hand in this particular category because as you can imagine, building frames means from scratch, yes, building frames from scratch, from raw materials. And Sarco used to offer their own frames, they actually, I'm sure they still do, but they're using different mechanical processes now. And for that reason, again, they switched from one process, one idea to the other, and they've continued to stay in business. But if you're looking for 1911 parts, they're the gopher. If you're looking for kits in any combination, there's a number of different ways you can buy different kits. Now we're not talking frame, we're talking every part butt. So if you're looking to build a 1911 from scratch, we used to do it all the time. Frames are still out there by the same manufacturers. They've been doing it for decades and decades and decades and decades. So you can put a nice 1911 together for a very reasonable price if you're willing to make the effort. And I recommend that if you're serious, that is a consideration. We have built whole inventories and armories full of 1911s. And it's purely once you start going, when you've got the concept down, it's not a big deal following through on and continuing the process, trust me. You can do this. It's a lot easier than you might imagine. It looks, well again, it's the old story, it always looks tougher than it really is. It's true. And by the way, you gotta learn. So in order to learn, you gotta get involved in the process. Once you get involved in the process and you start developing your skills, don't worry, you'll come along. Everything will look better in the long run. And with every lesson learned, you're tweaking your experience that much more and you will accomplished the task. We've done this many many many many many times over the decades. Now, SARCO is in on the East Coast. Let's not forget also if we can't find it at SARCO, go over to Apex Gun Parts. Don't forget them. Apex is of course located in Colorado. They also have the, remember the humanitarian rations, the MREs without meat. I recommend them. We have picked up quite a few. I am very happy with the product. It's exactly what we expected it to be. You get 10 complete day packs per pouch, or actually, forgive me, per case. Each pouch has a day's worth of rations, not just one MRE, a day's worth of rations. So, definitely that's worthwhile. But, if you're looking for other parts, take your pick, whatever it is you're interested in. You may want to go check out, and in fact peruse the pages of ApexGunParts.com. Between the two, there isn't anything you probably couldn't find and put back together. You got a grandpa gun that's missing some parts. Well, between those two companies and the third would be GunPartsCorp.com, there's no reason for your firearm not to be complete. And I recommend you make the effort to do that while you can. Down the road, this will be much more difficult to do. But right now, everything is accessible and it doesn't take long for you to, you know, pick and choose, cherry pick from the different locations. And you can top off a weapon that may be sitting there in pieces right now. And you need to do that. You need to, you know, finish what somebody else may have started or at least long ago they, you know, We're working on something usually if somebody grandpa or dad was working on something Yeah, it shifted hands parts got lost it happens to everybody don't worry. You're not unique But the big thing here again is that there are solutions and all three of these companies are the direction to go now We were talking about we've been talking about the whole nonsense overseas in the Middle East you'll notice that everybody's pretty we got a good idea about what's going on here and First of all, I'm going to repeat what I've repeated and will continue to do so even after this nonsense. Maybe they'll just drop off on it, maybe. But again, maybe not. We'll see what the insane are up to here and how far they think they're going to go. But if they, let's say that levels out, do not join the military. Do not join the military. I will repeat again. Do not, do not, do not join the military. They don't need us. First of all, if you're listening and you're a white heterosexual male, they hate you. Right now they're trying to figure out how they get you into their clutches so that they can screw you. More literally and figuratively both. So the big thing here again is stay away from the military. If you want to defend the United States, Get into the militia. Build the militia yourself. You'll be doing more than all the billions and billions and tens of billions of stolen and wasted digits that have left this country in the hands, you know, to be putting the hands of the kosher mafia so they can put a new solid gold bathroom together in the 14th bedroom of the second wing of whatever they're building, whatever little mansion they've got, whatever stand they've got going. So, no, we're not going to participate in the the Fools Olympics. That's the other part. Stay away from that. And again, because they hate you, they will try to get you killed. I've got people right now that are scratching their beaners, you know, like, oh, man, how did I get into it? Well, you know what? Now they're thinking they can get out of it. And that just isn't what's going to happen. I'm going to point out once they get you in their clutches, they're not going to be throwing, they can't afford to throw anybody out right now. They don't have anybody replacing who leaves. And because of that, again, there's a lot of animosity, first of all, the stupidity by the characters that are in uniform that are still there that are the, you know, pedo queers, satanic pedo queers, they hate you, they've always hated you, and they're going to continue to hate you. Those people are the ones in charge. They're the ones that will be trying to put you in harm's way, out of preference to their satanic pedo queer lover, possibly being put at risk. And again, also remember, even at the cost of the conflict, these Froot Loops will try to get you killed. They are insane. That's why they have the problems they have. And you do not want to be amongst them. And you sure as hell don't want to give them any authority over you, right? Authoritize. You don't want to say, I'll have the authority. You know where that would be going real quick. Yeah, you would be the chosen whipping boy for all the rest of the BS. Again, as I pointed out, this recruiting video that is out there, more people have been looking at it, and I've had a lot of other people, heck, two people today asking questions. What army was that? That those guys are, ah, you noticed that it didn't look like our military did it. And several, one woman and another person said the same thing, no, what are they doing? It's like they're lying. It's cold, Prabhak, and, okay? And so they are lying. They have been lying. They are liars. That's what you have in the system. They're commercial core of liars. And they're doing everything they can to bamboozle people into foolishly signing a contract and signing their soul away to a bunch of satanic pedo queers who hate them. They hate you. They still hate you. Nothing's changed. They just realize they haven't got enough cannon fodder for the big plan. So they need more cannon fodder than you're the preferred cannon fodder because they hate you. So let's not go to where people hate us. Join the militia. Go work with people of like mind who like each other, who will protect each other, who will defend each other, who are not going to try to get the other guy killed. But rather will be helping to protect and defend their mutual liberty interest. That's what you want to be a part of. Sure, so not the goofball operation that's in what being run out of Washington DC right now. I mean my god. Only an idiot and competent or fool will be thinking that way right now. So as it is again, stay away from the military. There is nothing they can give you. No digits they could offer you that would be worth your life. Because that's really all that they're looking at is how can they get you suckered in so that they can sacrifice you? They've got more than enough people for whatever sacrificial altar they want to throw the corpses of America on that they have in uniform. They don't need us joining in. They'll have plenty. They'll point it. They'll point it to corpses they make and demand a bigger war, a larger police state, and all of the other stuff that they always do. Homeland suck you, righty. Wasn't enough. They need to be bigger. They need to be more. They need to have more of everything. They need to take more of your money. Right down the shopping list. Okay, it's all the same Vomitus puke over and over and over and over and over and over and over again So avoid stay away. Do not participate Warning warning danger will Robinson. Okay. Oh, by the way We're way past the bottom of the hour and we are gonna try to make sure no matter what the after the body break is here My rifle is my best friend, it is my life. As for it, as I after my life. Being my rifle is useless. Without my useless, I am useless. I'm a rifle true! Use straighter than my suit him before he shoots me. Before God, my rifle. I'm neither a red, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a blue, nor a Hold the rifle from the tree, hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no trifle. You may ride a goodly speed, you may not stern a master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And they'll lead a judge start, glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no trifle. The hands will prove no trifle. about the Middle East. all moving in a particular direction. Remember like Afghanistan? Well, we only come up to the only way you can get to Afghanistan is you come up from the southwest. Everything was oriented that way without you thinking about nor even ever hardly identifying all the other countries north and east of Afghanistan, like the world is flat. You'll notice they're doing the same thing now with the Middle East BS. Number one, if this conflict goes into play, anybody who's stupid enough to put anything in the Persian Gulf where a real conflict involving Iran especially takes place, anything in the Persian Gulf is dead as far as fighting forces go. Why? Well, because you can't think land, but you can overwhelm any ship. And if they, in earnest, pull all the stops and everybody starts hunting everybody else, whatever military craft or in the Persian Gulf would be engulfed with overwhelming fire. There's no small craft or medium craft, destroyer, whatever, that would have sufficient resources to prevent it being overwhelmed. And putting a capital ship in there, you gotta have your head so far up your ass, come pull out with a crowbar if your life depended on it. Traditionally, years ago, we used to call the Persian Gulf the Coke Bottle or the Pop Bottle. Why? Well, just turn a pop bottle on its head. See that straight-of-whore moose down below? Let me remind you, does everybody remember when, and I'm sure they have reference to this once in a while, there was the war between Iraq and Iran, which meant that three-quarters of the surface area, coastal area of the Persian Gulf was tied up in that war. Now Kuwait is off to the west side of the Persian Gulf, that prostitute that stole a bunch of property from Iraq because it's a Saudi Arabian Princeton that moved north and is made up of a whole bunch of arrogant asshats who all ran to Egypt when they got invaded the last time around. They unasked the AO and laughed about the Americans and all the rest of us peasants fighting the conflict because Kuwait needed to be deliberated, don't you know? Coit's made up of the same arrogant assets, so nothing's gonna change there. But the big problem you've got is at that point in time when the Iranian-Iraqi war was taking place, which remember goes all the way down to conflict fires from Basra and all those places south, into the Persian Gulf. Let me ask you something, how long did it take to clear the wrecks and wreckage out of the Straits of Hormuz from the 10-year Iran-Iraq War. We used to also laugh about this. You know, how I could tell whether or not they're serious, and then you better really be crapping your drawers if this is happening, and it probably is. How could you tell if a ship was doomed back in, you know, during the 10-year war? Well, it's if they flagged that oil tanker to Liberia. Liberia? Yeah, you know, Liberia, the country we created, which is an extended fiction of the United States. It was the place that we were repatriating blacks to when we were shipping them back to Africa and everybody thought it was a good idea. Okay, well, when they were doing that, Liberia was created. Well, Liberia has become a great Let's just say dump point for places where ships go to die. Not that they don't go to Liberia to die. If they're flagged to Liberia, it was like the kiss of death. Why? Because they were gonna take them up into the Straits of Hormuz and write them off as insurance through Lloyd's of London. And that is exactly what would happen over and over and over and over ad nauseam. You're getting an image here. So I got this funny feeling. Just crazy cuz they just rehash crap. They figured they wait long enough. Everybody's so stupefied cuz nobody's taught history that nobody will remember this. But it would not take very long for the straits of Hormuz to become unnavigable. Especially in a real wartime scenario, everybody thinks they are gonna get what they want. Now, realistically, is the Persian Gulf the only front or a naval front that is the most critical for, say, a Middle Eastern conflict where they wanna snare in, say, Iran? Well, here's an interesting twist. If Saudi Arabia decides to continue talks with Iran, which is happening right now, Kuwait is nothing more than an aborted child attached with an umbilical cord directly to Saudi Arabia. Like I said, Kuwait is a Saudi Arabian Princeton that was created to give one of the family members some standing. That's why it was created in the first place. Of course, they ripped off, you know, in the process, they ripped off resources from the Iraqis. That was just a sidebar. But the fact is that if the Saudis go along with this, all of the coastline, 100% of the operational area of the Persian Gulf would be in conflict. There would be no safe harbor anywhere. Right now, Iraq, which like I've said for how many years now here, when was the last time you heard anything about Iraq? When was the last time you heard anything about Iraq? Hey guys, have you heard anything about Iraq? What happened to Iraq? It just fell off the map. Isn't that amazing? We spent all that money and we wasted all those human beings there and got a whole bunch of people of Iraq killed and it's gone. You don't need to think about it. In fact, it needs to be way back in the books. Let's listen. In fact, way in the taillights to forget about it. Except now it's going to come back to bite you in the ass because all those people are also pissed in general at us. There's a lot of them are sufficient so that they can completely disrupt the Iraq operations in Iraq. If there were anything that was friendly to us. Sufficient to neutralize that particular area as an asset in any way, shape or form. Now the ring knockers don't care. They hate everybody. They hate humanity. So, you know, murdering or killing more Iraqis wouldn't be a problem. Doing it as a sidebar, it would be an entertainment for the fools. A lot of people are stupid. But the fact is that this ally, we created a gunpoint, and given the opportunity, is going to join in with the rest. And if that happens, there is no sensible reason to be operating any military ships in the Persian Gulf because there would be if Saudi Arabia aligns with Iran, and they're talking right now. And if Saudi Arabia, Yemen, which is around the horn, go look at the maps on this. By the time you're done, it's okay, so you wouldn't be fighting there, which is why I brought up Tierra del Fuego. You're not supposed to think about this. Go find Tierra del Fuego. Is it an operational facility? Well, sure it is. The whole complex has been used. Remember when they had that plane disappear, it was tracked to Tierra del Fuego? And, you know, for what, two days? And all of a sudden they realized a cell phone was on board one of the victims. And so the Israelis and the US government that downed the aircraft stole it, took it to whatever location. Well, they found out where the phone was, tracked it down, probably killed the rest of the customers the rest of the way, and the rest is history. However, that complex is a very significant military asset and it is one of the other places that sortays of military US American aircraft and equipment would be moving from. Don't forget that we have all kinds of other tactical and strategic reserve pods all over the Indian Ocean that you're not, they're not talking about at all. Remember guys, it's like, well, the world falls off, you know, things fall off the edge of the world right there. Don't think about it, but just take and run around the globe the rest of the way. Now what does this do though? Well, this also means that another country could get snared into this that they don't have great love for us because they know we've been backstabbing every step of the way and that's India. Now there's another reason that India really is more likely to fall into the camp with the Iranians, the Russians and whatever. And this is weird because there are going to be some strange bedfellows here but India has a great number of economic ties that now go back for decades. When the AK-74 was first built, it was the Indian Army that bought the rights to build the AK-74 and the first export foreign contract factory to build AK-74s was in India. They have a lot of respect for the weapon systems. They've had good relations with regard to business results. In other words, when you do deal with the Russians, do you get screwed like you do with the Americans? No, you don't. We're the worst backstabbing prostitutes at the orders of the Israelis on the planet. We are their beck and call punk boys. You can see that right now. Well, look what just happened with the Congress. The first thing we're gonna do is get money to the Israelis. Why? Cuz they said that if not, they were gonna show my Epstein files. Did I say that? Oops, did I say that? Yeah, I said that. Cuz otherwise becoming the speaker, the only thing you're supposed to be worried about is the United States and piss on the rest of these assets. And by the way, Israel doesn't need us. We need Israel. That's what Nikki Haley just said. Well, that's the case. It's like actually it's true. Now we don't need them, but they don't need us. They have a big army. They got all kinds of money. They steal from everybody on the planet. They're a parasite, a polyp on everybody's wallet. So it's just, well now we got the goyim, we figured we can steal the money from them. Okay. So in the process of them, of us supposedly getting into this, This means that it's not going to be the one dimensional, Israel is the center of the universe. No, no, no, no. This becomes a very expanded combat operation. Now Iran knows this. Iran isn't just looking at the Middle East. They're looking down south. They're looking at the other areas and approach vectors. It would be most likely they have to be multi-dimensional. We're multi-dimensional. It's just we're mono-dimensional when they paint a picture, an image of how you should think about a conflict. And it all has to do with minimizing psycho babble to try and convince everybody to sacrifice their kids to Moloch and Ball so that the money worshippers can get what they want while they're busy murdering off us goyim. Well, of course by our own hands. So it's not murder, because remember what the Talmud says. If you can get one goyim to kill another goyim, it's not moita, which is why they've been getting Christians to kill Christians up in the Ukraine, and it's all a kosher mafia run operation there. Well, guess what? It's the same thing you're seeing now with what they're trying to get us into in the Muddle East, M-U-D-D-L-E, Muddle East. Except everybody, everybody's been pissed on to the point where virtually everybody is willing to a degree to ignore any of the arguments they've had in the past because they all have a mutual conflict aggressor in front of them. Oops. That makes for a very different scenario. And again, there are other players. Pakistan has already said it would give its nuclear inventory to Turkey. And this is a sidebar. This is stuff that nobody's talking about. That Pakistan would provide its nuclear arsenal to Turkey, which has all of the delivery systems necessary to fully integrate a complete nuclear combined arms team immediately. Okay, everybody understand that? In other words, there's nothing that Turkey would be confused about. Let me give you an example. If you look at all of the heavy launch missile systems that the Turkish military has, if you go to Janes or you go to any of your rat books that you can get from, you know, there would be, you know, Intel materials and equipment handbooks. You might notice that every one of the missile systems that Turkey has are built traditionally for they can handle nuclear, biological, chemical, and conventional. Now, pretty much Turkey is considered a conventional force, so these heavier platform weapon systems would be perceived as, well wait a minute, they're supposed to be conventional. But how long would they stay conventional if things, you know, go to hell in a handcart? Not very long. And in fact, I can't believe that the, if Turkey has already been offered the nuclear inventory of, you know, weapon systems as they need them, that they haven't completely integrated and looked forward to the idea that they would have these weapons available to assimilate to their launch platforms. Or, and this really would be a critical indicator, I haven't looked, I haven't had time. If there are compatible weapon systems that are higher end tactical delivery systems or lower end strategic, and they're the same weapon system that Pakistan possesses, Those would be the launch platforms that Turkey would be using and they would slide the weapon sideways. There would be no downtime to integrate the fire control systems or anything like that or the detonation controls for integrating with the launch platform itself. It wouldn't be a problem because they're the same launchers. Oh, yeah. So anyway, again, don't forget the Indian Ocean, the Indian Ocean, ignore just being myopic like horses with the blinders on. Take a look at the other motion and movement they're not talking about and they don't want you to think about. But if they do get involved there, it is very likely that India and Pakistan And other nations in Southeast Asia would be pulled into this. Now, what side they would fall on? Well, a lot of them wouldn't necessarily fall with us. But you'll notice no discussion about that. No, you don't need to think about it. Oh, don't you think about that? Remember, it's just cutting dry. And after all, Israel doesn't need us. We need Israel! We don't need Israel for shit. There ain't nothing that they're a vet. They're not a value in any way, shape, or form. But if you say that, then that tells me there better not be any money going to Israel because they don't need it. Nikki Haley, and she's a meat puppet for the Jewish Mafia, for the kosher mafia running, or they're running Washington, D.C. Well, what was just said, I would take to heart. Oh, you guys don't need us. We'll see you when you're done. See ya. Wouldn't want to be ya. Good luck. Click. We need to pick up the phone. We want more free cash. We're supposed to get different cash. Why are we not getting different cash? Freak ass? Did you say freak ass? What the hell are you talking about? No, free cash! Oh, yeah, okay. Well, whatever. Not there. No free cash. Not this week. Sorry. Yeah. So, again, picture. It's like the whole thing with Afghanistan. By the way, the Chinese have moved into Afghanistan too to a degree and nobody's talking about that. Bringing them a lot closer to the area of conflict. Right? Oh, that's right. If that and what he wants to call in we can talk about something else. I just came back from Indianapolis doing the Indy 1500 gun show. The gun shows, everywhere I've done, I've seen the gun shows decline for the last 10 years as far as attendance and as far as the vendors getting profitable enough to make this work. And it's been the Indy 1500, the 1500 actually had a meaning. Not just imitating the 500, Indy 500, but the Indy 1500 actually had about 1,500 tables back in the day. We filled up four rooms of this particular building that I was in last, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. We filled up four rooms. Well, about maybe seven, eight years ago, got dropped down to three rooms, because it just wasn't enough. And so whenever we're down to like maybe 1,100 tables. Then about two or three years ago, I think right before the pandemic probably, we shut down another room and then sort of down to two rooms and down to about 800 tables or so. And now we've got two rooms and probably around 700 tables, 800 tables. I don't know how much it is. But it was actually definitely reduced and it's just been out of the decline. I was in a particular spot in this particular hall for about 10 years. But they basically had to move me now because even the two rooms aren't all the way full. There's empty aisles, so they're moving people closer so that I was in a corner of this particular room. But if I was staying in that corner, hardly nobody would come by my table, basically. So they had to move me. Well, I didn't have to move. I could have stayed back there, but I would have been worse. But anyway, I didn't do terrible. I still have Some Canadian IMPs, individual meal packets. The fantasy way of saying MREs, which is a trademark name of the US government, so we can't use the word MRE for other countries' meals, combat rations. So anyway, I'll do that, the Indianapolis show again in January, second week into January. But I really haven't been doing many shows just because, well, they haven't been very good, plus... I've been doing online sales because of thank you, Mr. Putin and and although now Mr. Bibi Netanyahu, he hasn't scared people enough to where people are buying radiation detection equipment. It still could be a concern, I guess, if you want to stretch it, but I have not seen an increase in sales online for radiation detection equipment. So that's just the status of that. But I've been selling enough I suppose to keep going. That's what I would have to do with the show. Of course, all the shows stopped during the pandemic anyway, and then we didn't have anything for about a year, and then took about two years, and full things really started coming back to more normal. But what I want to talk about here is something that happened to me this weekend at the show. That really happened to me. I had a customer, and I had bought something from this customer three or four years ago. His his parents that was his father died his father passed away and his father was a prepper and his father had acquired some survival food and The the son wasn't really in tune to have inclined to do anything with the food kind of wanted to get rid of it So I bought at the time as many years ago several years ago. I bought about maybe 20 to 30 cans of Number 10 cans of wheat whole wheat still sealed and these were Based on the years that I saw on the cans and it's not this was somebody afraid of the y2k nonsense so More 20 years old now wheat stores them and basically indefinitely in that sort of environment in a skilled number 10 can It'll still be good 100 years later. So there's no issue really. I wasn't concerned about that. There was about three or four cans of milk, powdered milk, and there was also some corn meal. And it's a lot of little cheap. I just wanted to get rid of them. You can't really donate that stuff to charity. Places like, you know, your food, what do you call it? People who distribute food and the wheat isn't one of the things that anybody really wants. Anyway, plus it's old. So anyway, I bought it and I didn't really do anything with it. But anyway, he came back onto the show again and he had about 20 or 30 more cans of the whole wheat. And I had tried to take some of them to prepper shows to sell, because that's the place to sell them. Gun shows people don't really care about buying number 10 cans of whole wheat. Even though even the low price I put on like five dollars each of them You're talking about five point five pounds of whole wheat in another shankan 88 ounces. I mean it was But gun shows that just doesn't fly and I found the pepper shows people didn't really seem carrier But the true preppers will probably buy 20 pound bags Or greater bags of wheat and package themselves in store. And that's what I'm going to talk about I'm gonna talk about We eat in other food storage and ways to package them. Also to talk about maybe some grinders, either hand crank grinders or electric grinders. Because I did a lot of research based on because when I bought these from a guy he also had an electric grain grinder, a wheat mill or a grain mill, sometimes they're called. Which can basically, because one of the things you can do with wheat of course is to grind it into flour. And he had an electric one. It's in really good shape. It doesn't look like it hardly ever been used. And so I bought that from O2. I got that back, the one I found that that didn't work. I could plug it in and nothing. No humming, no buzzing, nothing. So I have to invest, I'm still trying to investigate. I pulled out the capacitor to see if I could figure out a way to test it. I didn't know how. I'd been checking on YouTube to find out how to test the capacitor to see if it was any good. I still really can't tell. When I e-bayed, I found one that was for parts. And I'm claiming it works, but he's missing a wooden box. Mr. Tiggler-Grider is called an X-caliber, and it's in a wooden box. And this is like an antique. It looks old, and it is old, and it's... All the components are mounted in this wooden box instead of cast iron like a lot of them you see. So anyway, if I want one for parts, I may end up buying that and just swapping out the motor or the capacitor or whatever might be bad because the claim is from the one that I could buy off eBay is that everything works. But there's no box. In other words, it's just a bunch of parts. It's a box of parts. Can't use it as a grain grinder. And this one is a stone grinder. I'll get into that here in a bit. So... I got a six cent. Anyway, I decided because I had such trouble selling them, these cans, I thought I could sell them for a little bit of a profit. But people didn't seem interested, even at prepper shows. So, I guess I'll have to start using them myself. I still put them on for sale. But the problem is, I can't really put them on the website because these things would cost a fortune to, because they're so heavy. Again, 5.5 pounds. You put in a box and turn it across to California probably cost you about 30 bucks and the You can buy wheat in a number 10 hand online for anywhere between about 20 bucks to 45 bucks depending where you look and So it doesn't make any sense to something that heavy to try to ship it So I'm not going to put it on the website I did put some on Craigslist to see if I could sell some that way but no no response yet Because there's just too many for me. But in the meantime, I'm going to start using them. So I got this grain grinder. I figured, well, I'm going to start making pancakes. Let's start making whole wheat pancakes. Let me talk about, let me see, should I go on now, what the uses for wheat and the ways to deal with it were storage. What I used to do when I was more home bound and had money and had ways of storing things. getting prepared. One of the ways you can prepare, for instance, freeze-dried food is the most expensive, but it's also the most convenient. All you have to do is add water. Whereas if you buy whole grains like beans, corn, rice, wheat, things like that, it's the least convenient, but the cheapest. Tenneys on the dollar, you buy wheat. You can buy, I looked at Walmart, Walmart has a, I think it's a 12-ounce. package of whole wheat, sometimes called wheat berries, for 10 bucks. You can buy a whole bag for a tenth of that. A whole huge, you know, 20 pounds. But what do you do with it? You store it. I used to buy split peas, dried, all this dried goods were stored for a very, very long time. You store them properly. Now you can't just buy the bag of wheat and put it in your pantry because mice can get into it, insects. Plus there's eggs in the wheat when you buy it. Now it's starting to put those in there to screw with you. It's just natural process. So there might be some eggs that are unhatched that if you just put it even if you were to dump it in a container, let's say a five gallon bucket and put the button lid on it to keep the mice and insects out, you might open that up and find out it's just teeming with insects in there. Because it had eggs in there that had. So you got to come you have to find a way to deal with these dry grains beans rice meat Corn things like this. You have to find a way to store it to keep it from being attacked by by nature being insects or rodents. And oxygen basically because things will deteriorate. So here's what I used to do as far as the grains go if you want to go that route again the leaves convenient because they got a handful of A handful of kidney beans. You can't eat those kidney beans until you prepare them. It's too hard, you can't really eat them. You've got to cook them a long time, or at least soak them a long time. Same with wheat. You can't really just eat wheat berries. You have to do something with them. So it's not very convenient. Unlike canned foods or freeze-dried food, where you just warm it up, basically. Add some water and warm it up. With the whole grains, you can't do that. So here's what I used to do. Well, I found you have to keep away from oxygen, you have to keep away from insects, you have to keep away from rodents. So what I used to do is I used to buy these... Well, actually I got a bunch of them free. You can get free to cheap. You can get these five gallon water jugs. You know these blue colored plastic jugs that hold five gallons of water that you turn upside down and put on a little cooler at the office. That's what I'm talking about. These little five gallon jugs. They had water. Make sure it's clean. It didn't have gasoline or something in it. Make sure it had water in it. Dry it out real good. You get those free to cheap. And then you put the... I would fill that up with wheat. I'm going to use wheat as an example, but any of the grains will be the same process here that I'm going to describe to you. Now you can't just dump it in there and expect it to keep the insects out because again the eggs are already in the wheat. There's going to be some in there. The roams won't be in there, but they could... I've never had a mouse chew through one of those things. I suppose it could be done. I was always... always watching for any rodent signs. A rodent, now a rat probably could chew through those five-gallon plastic water bottles, but I don't know that a mouse can. Maybe given enough time and enough effort a mouse could also. I've seen mouse chew through some amazing things. So maybe they could, but they'd have to smell it and so on. And I never had that happen to me. But I suppose it's possible it could happen. You can also put them in five-gallon buckets. and use something called, I've got a bunch of, I've got a pallet full of gamma seal lids. There's something called a gamma seal, which is a lid for a five gallon bucket. Actually, the lid will fit a three and a half gallon, all the way up to seven gallon bucket. They have the same diameter top on them. You can buy these buckets at Home Depot and various places. You can buy food grade ones and there's really no issue with them. You pick them up for like five bucks or something. I think Home Depot, I don't remember what they cost now. And then you put a gamma seal on it, which is a lid that snaps on in place of the standard lid, because you know those standard lids are paying a butt. And this has a screw top. It has a ring and a screw top. You hammer the ring on there just like you would a regular lid for a five-gallon bucket. But then it's got this removable, a big lid that spins inside of that ring with big threads. and a rubber gasket so that you can open up just by turning this lid, rotating it about three turns it comes off and you can scoop out some wheat or some corn or some beans or rice or whatever and then put the lid back on and seal it up and nothing can get in there. That's a trade name. Those cost about 10 bucks. I think you can buy those at, I think I've seen them at Walmart even. I think you can even get them at Walmart. You're going to spend 10, 11, 12 bucks. I haven't tried some recently. I know I was selling them for 9 bucks at my table. They're not that expensive. They come in different colors. But anyway, I don't have those on the website. I probably should put those on the website. Those would be easy enough to ship. But I got so much of them. I got almost a pallet of them. Hundreds of them. But anyway, so what about the insects? Okay. If you just pour them in the bucket or pour them in that I've got a water bucket, water container. The insect, the egg just so that it hatched. And every time you opened up, you're going to have a possibility of having not only an orderly oxygen, but then more insects getting inside. So what you do, either the five gallon bucket or the water bottle that I'm talking about, get yourself a nitrogen tank. Get those welding supply houses. Get one that they stand about two feet tall for the smaller ones. and they get refilled, you can either buy them or lease them. There's ways to get them, you have to buy a regulator or lease one regulator or rent one or whatever, a regulator. And those don't cost a lot. You can't just, well, you probably could just put a hose from it, but you really don't want to do that. For safety reasons, you want to use a regulator. And run a hose from your regulator and put it inside your bucket or inside of your five-gallon water bottle. A little hose, not much. Then what you do is you take Then you pour in your wheat or your corn or your beans or your rice or what have you. Pour them in on top of that hose. You'll probably have to use a big funnel for the water bottle to do it that way. So pour your grains in there. Then when you get the grains where you want them, turn on the nitrogen. Turn that slowly. It fills up very fast. Wheat, within five seconds already it's filled. Even it's slow at low flow. Really amazing how easy it works. How can you tell when you've got nitrogen in there? You take a match or lighter and you keep popping it in the opening of that five gallon bucket or the five gallon water bottle. You keep dropping that match down in there. At some point it'll go out just like you put it in water. Poof. That's when you know it's filled with nitrogen. Turn off your gas, pull out your hose, drop an oxygen absorber in there for good measure. close the lid or in case of a water bottle you could put snap on one of those lids and Wrap it with with tape or something and that's going to last forever longer than you will There's no oxygen in there. So with when the if the eggs do Try to come to pass they'll immediately die and you won't have an insect problem and the water bottle Because it's only got about a maybe a four inch circumference seal versus the bucket which might have more like a three foot circumference seal. It's easier to seal effectively for long term in those water bottles. Now you can't stack them like you can buckets, so that's something you could consider also. But you can, there, I had some shelves built that basically I didn't, couldn't stack them anyway. They're kind of heavy depending on what you're putting in them. So that those that wheat or whatever will last forever in those buckets or water bottles. If you have a nitrogen packed and sealed well, don't have, don't keep them in the sun, put them in your pantry somewhere out of sight. They can freeze, no problem, but you don't want high heat. High heat is the enemy here. So in your basement, if you have one, something like that is great. You don't want them flooding, although if it does flood, as long as it doesn't get up to that seal and go inside the bucket, if you've got a good seal, it won't matter flooding anyway. If it's in the basement. I did have at one place that I had some stored that they were actually floating. They would look inside, suit them up right, and there was the water bottles, and there was actually no sign of any water in there, so you're good to go. Even after flooding. If you really want to have the biggest bang for your buck, dry grains are the way to go. Wheat, corn, rice, beans, all kinds of beans too. There's lots of different kinds of beans you can store that way. Now you don't want to store flour like that. Now you can store white flour. White flour basically lasts forever. I guess we'll get into what, we're going to talk about wheat now for a while and what to do with it and how to make flour. Now that I show you how to store the wheat berries and things well not just flour But here let's go in first with same things that you can make that With the week because what do you do with we okay? You got a handful of wheat now what you can't just eat it you gotta do something with it You got to make it into something you can't just eat it as is you got to make it into something so One of the things I used to because a lot of things I had and I don't know if I have you are old enough to remember Kurt Saxon and they ring a bell to anybody Chris Saxon actually looked him up. He has a Wikipedia page and that was a surprise because he had a series of books called The Poor Man's James Bond. He was an author. Poor Man's James Bond. Remember that? And the press liked to attack him for that because he basically told how to make bombs and things. He eventually told how to do that stuff. And the press didn't like free speech in First Amendment so they always demonized him. But anyway, Chris Saxon, remember, he passed away, I find out, he passed away about two years ago. and at age 89. I talked to him a couple times on the phone. But anyway, he had these books called The Poor Man James. In that book, and this was interesting, and I didn't notice about him, but the Wikipedia page, if accurate, if you know who Kurt Saxon is, if you ever listened to him, he had a shortwave show on for a while. But get this, this was his, what he was affiliated with, and I didn't know this, but I would know some of these things. Very strange. Apparently, if they're in chronological order like the Wikipedia page shows, the American Nazi Party, using back, it was involved with several political and religious movements, including the American Nazi Party, the John Birch Society, there's a complete turnaround, the Minutemen, and the Church of Scientology. So this guy had some changes of heart apparently along the way about what he was into. Anyway, I read his books and in one of his books, The Poor Man's James Black, because he also chose how to do some food stories about it. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm going to bust in and I'm going to do a disclaimer here. And anybody who just does what you just did is a damn fool. Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not verified information. Anybody can go on Wikipedia and enter any information on any Wikipedia page they want. They just have to log in and use Wikipedia. So you can expand on any topic over there. That's not a 100% guaranteed source that that information about that individual is true. There's stuff on Wikipedia about my dad that's not true. There's stuff on Wikipedia. That's me that's not true. And I think if you look yourself up, you'll probably find something about you too Craig. I understand that and there are references that you can also check out and the Nazi party reference does have a reference to it. And I don't know, I didn't check out the reference, but yeah, you're right. It's not, it doesn't always- Yeah, I wouldn't trust Wikipedia for anything as far as, as far as factual information, especially in modern times with how often stuff is censored, you know? Yeah, did you, you might not be old enough to remember Kurt Saxon, do you ever, does that name ring a bell to you at all? His work rings a bell, the Poor Man's James Bond series. There was another book that he did too that also they didn't like. Yeah, Improvised Weapons and Munitions. You had a few other books, yeah, the media didn't like them. That being said, in his books he had, and I tried this and it was interesting, the way it worked, he had a way of making using wheat, using the whole wheat. He had a way of making, but I think he called it bulgur. And I want to involve, all I'm really involved was, he took a thermos, you know those things you might have had as a kid, back when I was a kid they would make glass inside, but you know, a thermos where you put something in to keep the hot or cold. You put a week in there, I think about one fourth of the way full of wheat berries. Then you pour boiling water in there, cap it up and let it sit overnight. In the morning you'll have what you call bulgur, I believe that's what he called it. And basically it was just the soaked wheat berries. But now they were soft and you could eat them as is. So it's cereal. And it had interesting taste. Not great tasting but it's food and it's actually nutritious. And very simple way of making them. And you can just pick up a spoon and start eating them. Now, don't want to make a whole lot of that because all the fiber you're going to get there can do things to you later, if you know what I mean. If you're not used to it, that's a way to get a hell of a chunk of fiber in your diet. So anyway, he had that. And then he has other ways. Of course you can make them into, let me see, I did find actually a article online, join some other basic things you can make it. Now, you could call that a breakfast cereal, you can make cracked wheat. You can grind it down relative, really coarse, and essentially it's like cream of wheat. Okay, you can use that as a breakfast cereal, that a lot of you have had cream of wheat you can buy. You can make cream of wheat, you can make it like as an oatmeal, as a hot breakfast cereal, just boil all of the berries. 3 parts of water to 1 part wheat for about 45 minutes. Top with fresh fruit or cream and you are. Breakfast is served. You can make some traditional dishes that are various. Wheat has been used for thousands of years by all kinds of cultures and there's a lot of dishes that could be used traditionally. You can use them as soups and side dishes. You can make them in soup. There's a lot of things you use. You just go online, you find, you can toast them. And if you toast them, if you try to top them like popcorn, they'll actually expand. They will pop big fluffy like a popcorn kernel will, but they will expand, they'll blow up a little bit. And people like to eat those just like that. So you cook them like that, let them pop open and a tasty treat, I'm told. I've not tried that. There's also some called wheat pudding and a lot of other desserts you can make it in. But number one thing you're probably going to be using it for is something called flour. Whole wheat flour, right? We know what to do with flour. We use flour all the time. If you make any of your own food, we've all used flour. But what you get in the stores is a bleached, all-purpose white flour. It has no nutrients. Here's what happened. White flour is kind of a relatively new invention, a little more than 100 years ago. What happened was grain mills, let me get into this history, white flour at first was basically handmade and it was very expensive because you're basically removing the wheat, the bran and the, let me see here, there's three parts to the wheat kernel. You've got the germ, the bran and the endosperm. The endosperm is basically the core of it, the white part. that we can get white flour from. The bran is the outer coating and the germ is this thing at the bottom where it attaches to the stem and that is the bran and the germ create the real nutrition in there. The endosperm, almost no nutrition. So if you just use white flour, you're missing a lot of nutrition you're going to get in the whole wheat. In fact, let me go through a little history here. The Egyptians basically would use mortar and pestle, grinded with stones. That's some of the earliest uses known for wheat. Then in the 1870s, white flour was created using a sifting method. While the white bulky parts of the bran and germ were removed physically, the flour still contained wheat germ oil, which passed on some of the nutrients from the wheat germ. Between 1870 and 1890, the modern practice of milling flour using steel rollers became extremely popular. The commercial process not only milled flour at high speed, but also enabled millers to separate the different parts of the wheat kernel. Thus, flour could be produced much more quickly and millers could cut out the bran and germ and use only the soft endosperm. Why would they eliminate the germ and bran? Well, the germ and the bran Especially the oils. The oils in the germ is going to go rancid and the flower won't last very long. If you were to grind your own white flower and just store it like you do on the counter with white flower, it's going to go bad. Within weeks it will be unusable because the oils in there will start going rancid for one. And if you buy whole wheat flour at the end of the store, by the way, they still remove The brand or the germ, they remove, it's not the whole thing because those last a long time in the store as well. Flowers, the whole wheat flour you buy in the bags in the store. They still remove parts of it so that you're not getting the whole thing because it will last a lot longer. So white flour lasts virtually forever. We know that. White flour, if you want to store white flour, you can do that in any kind of method you want in any kind of sealed container. You can store a lot of white flour if you want if you don't want to do whole wheat on your own. So what happened though is, okay, so the modern methods made it popular. And then at first it was very expensive and only the Only the rich basically to afford it. And what was happening to the rich is they were coming down with diseases. Yeah, born with silver spoon. You are getting diseases such as Burberry, which is a thiamin deficiency. Polygra, which is a niacin deficiency. And anemia, which is an iron deficiency. So when they started, the modern milling practices started producing white flowers and became more and more popular and the Standard Joe could now afford white flower with the modern milling practices. We had all these deficiencies coming up because now they weren't getting because wheat was a staple of the diet and we're getting these things. They were getting their diamond and their niacin and iron from wheat. But now you weren't getting it anymore with white flower. But in the 1920s, they began to understand what was going on. and how modern milling practices resulted in the loss of vital nutrients, recognizing the milling industry was not simply going to revert to stone ground practices. They began advocating for addition to some of the lost nutrients, a practice we know today as enrichment. So when you buy flour today, it's going to be enriched. It began in the 1930s to where all flour now that you buy this or buy law has to be enriched with niacin, thiamin, and iron. In the 1980s, no, 1990s, they added folic acid to that list for white flour-based food with iron, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin. And then folic acid was added in the 1990s. So in 1941, the US government began mandating the enrichment of white flour food. So any follower you buy in the store now has to have those that enrich it and it helps cut down just like with salt with what they follow without iodine If they started putting iodine and salt table salt Because people that didn't live on the coast to get a lot of seafood We're getting iodine deficiencies So the whole wheat is the best your best bet if you if you want to go this route store food and get it cheaper than anything else, any other food you can get, buy the whole grains and prepare them yourself. And you grind the wheat yourself and we're going to go into that next about what to select. And we always talk to hobbyist store it and basically how to use it. But if you're gonna grind you can grind More flour than you I'm going to try when I do this I'm going to try besides the wheat berries that I tried before years ago decades ago I'm going to try the which is right just grinding enough to make enough pancakes for one meal I'm gonna try that it's a big countertop model that I got although I'd have to repair it like I say and It looks nice enough I'm gonna leave it on the counter and just leave plugged in and just anytime I need to make some this grind up some and and make it into pancakes, whole wheat pancakes. I found a bunch of, I found some old recipes on the internet, including, there's a channel on YouTube that I kind of watch this guy's videos once in a while. There's a video called, there's a channel called Townsons, and he basically shows how things were done back, you know, in the 1700s, 1800s before electricity. And you might want to check out channels like that where he goes into the old-fashioned ways of doing things. Not just cooking and making food, preparing food, but storing wood, building fires, all sorts of things. The ways things were done 100 plus years ago. A YouTube channel called Townsons. One word, Townsons. Anyway, he had some good recipes. Years ago I did a video about storing eggs. I stored eggs actually for 18 months without refrigeration. Fresh eggs, not hard boiled, fresh eggs, without refrigeration, and they're still good after 18 months. I learned about it on that channel. I tested it. I did make a YouTube video if you want to check out my YouTube channel. Anyway, you can learn a lot from some of these channels like that. So, if you grind the flour, you either use it right then or you put it in the refrigerator. If you store it in the refrigerator, it will last a little bit longer than if you just put it on the counter. If you put it on the counter, it's going to go bad. It will last longer, up to about, I think they say up to about two weeks in the refrigerator. If you're going to grind more than you need, store the rest in the refrigerator, but use it up. It's still going to go bad after a while. Got that oil in it, the wheat germ, and the bread. But you're getting all your nutrition. Then you know, if you buy a week, it's got the nutrition in it already. You don't need to buy anything fortified. Well, actually, there's a difference between the word... The words... Let me see. Let me get this straight. Because I learned another new thing here. There is two different words, fortified, and where is it, where is it, where is it, that were naturally occurring in a product. So enrichment is when they add the... the iron, niacin, thiamin, and rival flavin, and enrichment, and it's enrichment, but fortification adds nutrients that weren't there before. Little knowledge for you. You learn nothing else. You probably learned that. So, okay. So now you're grinding your old flour. You can do it by hand or you can do it by machine. Well, you can do it by hand by hand like the Egyptians did with a stone mortar and pestle, I think they call it. Rocks basically beat the thing with rocks That's one way certainly works a lot of work. You can grind it by hand. You can buy these grain grinders and There's home grain grinders. They probably all of you have seen them. They generally clap to your tabletop or your counter and they have a hand crank and you pour some grain in the top hopper whether it be corn to make cornmeal or Wheat to members you can make rice meal grind it up. There's any of the grains you can grind these things usually and you hand crank it now hand cranking it and I've done this and I even had one I don't have it anymore hand crank one you can get it for as low as like 20 bucks cheap ones all the way up to the more expensive ones I saw that like the Wonder Junior Deluxe which is a popular one a well-made one is like 280 bucks So the hand crank ones, they work from cheap to kind of pricey. How much often do you use it? How durable is it going to be? You have to consider all that and do some research before you buy anything. But if you want to get the cheapest thing out there, even Walmart has it for like 20 bucks from what I see here online. So you can get the cheap ones. Just don't expect to be using it every day, a cheap one, and come out with a... Not only a good product in the end because the flour fineness can make a big difference when you're baking breads or when you're making pastries or what have you or making crack wheat or cereals. Some of these cheaper ones aren't going to be able to grind it down into the finest flour that you may want for certain baking tasks you're going to be using. So consider the cheap ones probably going to be more for crack wheat or for maybe rough. flour, like maybe for a bread or something. The electric ones, you can generally grind them down as fine as you want to where they're just basically almost dust. And the electric ones go very quickly. If you were to put in a cup of wheat berries, you're going to get a little bit more flour, by the way. If you put in a half a cup of wheat berries, you're going to get actually about two-thirds a cup of actual wheat ground down into flour. It's weird, but that's the way it is. Cranking in my hand, let's say a half a cup, probably going to take you about 15 minutes to get that down into a pretty decent flour. And a lot of muscles, a lot of work. Now, when the electricity is out, you can still do that, of course. And the electric ones, you generally can't hand crank them. Most electric ones do not have a way to hand crank. The one I have, the Excalibur, which is no one, you can't buy that anymore. does have a way of hand cranking, but boy, I could tell that it would be really rough trying to hand crank this thing without electricity. But if for everyday use, or if you're making a lot of flour, if you're making a recipe that calls for a cup of flour, three cups of flour or whatever, you're gonna spend a lot of time and a lot of elbow grease making that damn flour with a hand cranker. So you probably want electric. If you're gonna use it for baking and use it for everyday kind of stuff, you're gonna want an electric one. But you might want to back up one. If the power ever goes out and don't come back, you might want a hand crank job for emergency so you can still use your wheat berries to actually make things other than just bulgur or something of that nature. So it's a... In your decision, the electric ones, they start at over $200. And they go on... I saw some of the better models, they're over $1,000. So electric ones are definitely costing more. Well, not necessarily. The higher end manual ones are about the same rough area of pricing as the lower end electric ones. So electric or hand crank, that's your decision. It depends on what you're using it for, how often you think you're going to use it, and whether you think you want it for an emergency or not. But if you have all this food store, if you're a prepper type and you have all this food store, you're definitely going to want a way to make it with Unless you've got good solar, good batteries, and all that kind of stuff, you're going to need electricity for those some way or another, whether you make it yourself, a generator. But for hand-cranking, that's going to work. You're going to build up some muscles. You've got some kids, let them... Don't give up right away, though. It's worked. So, I see. What else do I got? And you can make them into flowers. Barley. Commute. Hey Craig. Rye. Spelt. Wheat. Was the caller wanting to say something? Yeah, yeah. I just wanted to say that if you get one of those hand-grinder that made me an electric one. I would advise not getting one with a metal grinder because if you grind your wheat fine at all you're going to end up with metal shavings in it. Okay. That's a good point and I didn't cover that part. Okay. You've got two basic kinds of grinding media. One is stone and the other is metal or burrs. Okay, so I have not heard complaints about the metal plates that the caller is talking about. I don't doubt it. I have heard complaints about the stones. They will wear down and you're going to get a little bit of grit. And depending on the type of stone, whether it's a natural stone or whether it's a man-made stone, The adhesives that are used in the stones can eventually go and get into your food as well. And so you need to do some research on that. Now, another thing that needs to be mentioned here about stones versus birds. Which one to pick? Well, stones are certainly the traditional method. Real stones, it's not going to hurt you if you eat a little bit of stone, certainly. It'll be fine grain. It'll be like a tiny little speck from like a grain of sand or smaller. And you'll be eating a little stone and that's not going to hurt you. If it's the natural stone, but if it's a man-made stone, then you need to do some research, find out what the adhesives use, how it's put together, and whether that's going to be toxic or not. The stones will wear down slowly, probably not of big concern. The burrs, okay, here's the thing about the grinders. Now, when you're talking about the grains, like I just talked about, barley, kamut, rye, spelt, wheat. If you want to go with gluten-free varieties, camaraderie, buckwheat, corn, rice, and sorghum, if you get a grinder with metal grinding plates, you can also use your grinder for things like peanuts to make peanut butter. I don't have a list in front of me of all the things you can do with it, but your wet foods you can use with the metal grinding plates. So the metal grinding plates have that advantage over stone. You can use them for wet. There's also traditional, I think if you want to make tortillas, for instance, you use matzah or I can't remember, can't remember how, it's for corn tortillas, it's a wet process rather than a dry process. There's other things you can do with it with wet grinding. I think some of these will even have interchangeable dyes for grinding, making sausage or meats also. Do not do those. Do not do anything wet with the stones. If you have a stone grinder, a wheat mill or a grinding mill, you only want to put dry things in there. Nothing with high oils, nothing that's wet. Now, yeah, peanuts are dry, okay, but when you grind them down, as you know, there's a lot of oils in peanuts. And if you have a real peanut butter, you'll know that you've got to stir it up so you get mixed up to be able to enjoy your peanut butter. Otherwise, it's just a lot of oil floating on the top. So anything very oily or anything wet, you're going to want metal plates or interchangeable plates. You can interchange between stone metal, electric, and hand crank. The most popular high-end brand of wheat grinder, or let's just say grain mill, doesn't always have to be wheat. Wheat is typically what most people would use them for initially. Is the, I'm looking for the brand here. I forget what it's called. I think it's called Country Living. I'm trying to find, okay here we go. site does not have the pricing on them. But the country living, I think it's close to 300 bucks. And that one is set up so that you can, the big flywheel, the crank, is on a wheel, a flywheel, and it's like a big shiv, like a big pulley that you can attach an electric motor to, or a bicycle if you want, that kind of thing, and a fan belt, like a rubber belt. You can make that one into a motorized or manual bicycle wheel, treadmill, if you want. I think it's called Country Living. I'm going to see if I can find pricing for you here because I have another page that I have opened up here which has a whole bunch of prices. One of the more popular electric ones is called the Wondermill. And that's going to be anywhere from $250 to $350, depending on the models you pick and the accessories you have with it. So we'll see the country living one. For a manual hand crank one, it's still pricey. So these things aren't cheap. And the better made they are, it's just going to last you a lifetime, of course. Get a good cast iron, there's a good aluminum, and you're going to have something that could last a lifetime, get a good brand. These cheap ones start to break the cast iron on it somehow and you're screwed. Then you have to go with a stone. Well, I can't find the price. I'm looking here and I still can't find the country living. But the country living is a brand that a lot of preppers at home centers like to use. And that one is pretty pricey. Probably the second most popular one is one I talked about before. It's called the Lunder Junior Deluxe. $250 to $300 for that one. So again, not cheap. And those are hand-cranked. So yeah, the burrs, I'd have to look at that. The collard might be right. I mean, eventually, I guess if you're going to wear, they're going to wear down eventually. Eventually you're going to have microscopic metal particles in there regardless, probably. But if it comes to the point where they're actually breaking off, That's obviously less desirable than microscopic pieces of metal because when you're using cast iron, cookie work, any cookware, you might get microscopic pieces of metal in your spoons. You don't want things flanking off, but the microscopic part is the part you can't really do anything about and you can't see and can't detect. But you obviously don't want little shavings of metal in your food and maybe that's maybe that's been a problem with some brands with the metal Grain mills. I don't know Okay, so I see I got about five minutes left. I think I covered most of what I wanted to cover for making your own making your own wheat and your good grain grinders and storing Lot to consider there. There's other ways To start out, if you want to be a prepper, first of all, let me go through a couple basics which I was talking about on my show, which shocks a lot of people. But frankly, most of you are already preppers and don't even know it. Even if you never bought a single bag of wheat or stored extra cans of food or whatever. Most of you are already preppers now. If you think about it, we really haven't had anything in this country here in the United States. It happens all over the world, but here in the United States, we've been fortunate till now, for the last 150 years, roughly, we have been fortunate to not have to worry about 160 years. We have not had to worry about prepping. I mean, honestly, even something like Katrina, First of all, you knew that you knew that hurricane was coming second of all, even if you got flooded out and you knew your house destroyed or whatever flooded You could walk through the next parish over and at Bessie's house. She had power and water and You know what I mean? So your life wasn't really in danger most anything we've ever had happen here in this country We've had if you had a home to be in You could survive high I mean, there's other circumstances, of course. If you're on meds or you need oxygen, there's all sorts of things that could happen without power. There's things that you could... in medical reasons, you might, you know, really depend on electricity, for instance. But for food and water, most of you have to think about it, and this is the part that shocks people. You already have two weeks of food store. You already have two weeks of water store, even if you never did a damn thing. Because if you look in your cabinets, most of you have about two weeks of stuff in your prep cabinets, okay? After a while, after about a week, you're going to be rummaging through trying to figure out what you can make from this and this and this, but you still have something you can eat for about two weeks. Most all of you already have about two weeks of food in your pantry, your regular everyday pantry. Of course, if the power goes out, you immediately want to eat as much as you can out of the refrigerator, and then you eat as much as you can out of the refrigerator. But then you got everything else in your pantry. You got two weeks food store there. Water? If you still have the old style water heater, you got 30 to 40 to 50 gallons in that water heater. A tank. You may not have water pressure anymore, but you got a valve on the bottom. That water will be safe to drink. It's been pasteurized. It was at 110 degrees for years, whatever. You can drink that water. So you've got two weeks of water stored there too. Now if you have an on-demand water heater like the modern stuff, then you're kind of screwed there. So you will have to store some water and there's a lot of things you have to consider that because you can't really just put water in jugs and expect it to be good, expect it to be drinkable, potable, just by storing it that way and coming back a year later and things are growing in it. So okay, my show is over. Thanks everybody for listening. The Pepper Stop is my website if you want to look for radiation test equipment. My YouTube channel is for big TV, big fellow pitties, and when TV goes crazy, it's for big TV. And thank you everybody for listening. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free 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 the land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken a sense of 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 to the 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 freedom 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 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 trample each God-given right, we only watch and 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, dill the land of the free and home of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report I'm R. Kirkie. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southeast, west, north, and north. Listening to us on, UWW, LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite and say hi to all our merchant ring operators out there. No matter what body of water you're on, digital and or... We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. We're in shortwave 6.160 regular shortwave Monday through Friday on UBCQ the Planet. And for everybody out there, I want to say hi. If you're listening on a shortwave, remember you're listening in the Inani Mouse Method. There is no middle ground, middle party. You've got a receiver at an unknown location. You're able to listen to the program for a whole hour. Absolutely no one has any idea where you are or who you're listening to. So that's kind of handy. You might want to break out your shortwave receivers, your AM-FM shortwave receivers. They're AM-FM shortwave typically. So they have all three options. And tune in to 6.160 regular shortwave, Monday through Friday, 8 to 7, or 8, forgive me, 8 to 7, God. 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. We'll get it right. We're working on it. Throw a dart. It's the clock. Okay. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 15th of November. We're halfway through November as of tonight. 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 2023 battle for the Republic the dance of swords. Let the dance continue. Real quick. I hope to God that Under no circumstances is Nikki Haley proposed by Trump to be his running mate. If that happens, throw everything out the window. Worst possible person, I mean, absolutely just so far up the bung hole of the Israelis that couldn't be pulled out with a crowbar. If it's life, depending on it, it's life. And talking about the Haleyite. So, Getting worse, not better. I'm not holding my breath. If Trump gets in there, this time he has to supposedly drain the swamp. He didn't do any swamp draining the last time. Just treading water is okay, but there wasn't any swamp draining, too many pieces of the swamp got jobs, and too many of his family members who were just outright leftists. Absolutely flaming leftists were in his administration. That kind of tells you where the game is being played so and how we're being played now again, but oh I know better all of them are pretty well joined at the hip and in this case again Well, I hold them a breath like I said, we'll see how it works Mostly be buying time for the enemy because everybody who said in their laurels do nothing let the enemy continue to entrench whatever gains they've made and Then after Trump's gone They'll go right back to what they've been doing. And they'll be doing it while Trump's in there, because not any significant effort will be made to correct the problem. There'll be all kinds of excuses for it though, not correcting the problem. Just be ready for it. It's not that there aren't things that can be done, there are. But the ballot box has been burned, okay, however they're gonna play this. You need to come back, the confidence game needs to be maintained. Yeah, well, no, I have no confidence in pretty much any part of the system, medical or, you know, again, political and or take your pick right down the shopping list. The trail across the board has been the norm, not the exception. But it is Weapons Wednesday. And so we do have a couple things to remind everybody about. We've already talked about it a couple of, in each of the other hours leading to this one. There are magazines available for a very good price $4.98 over at bow cash. These are AR 15. They're polymer mags They're nothing fancy, but they're more than serviceable enough and they are Four dollars and ninety eight cents as a deal for as long as they last so you might want to go check them out That's BOTACH.com. Nope. They're not advertisers. We don't get anything in front for that Well, we shouldn't say anything. No, no, we benefit But we benefit as a whole by taking advantage of the magazines. All of us do. So again, $4.98 a piece. You also want to check out Botash's clearance section. That's Botash.com. It's Botash, Botac, Botac. Take your pick. What part of the planet are you taking out spelling and how you're working it? I'd like to hear them tell me and then I'll pronounce it the way they would prefer. There we go. That works out just fine. So anyway, over in the Clarence section, but also in their group section, they're lots. They do have some trade in police body armor. It is in groups of four and basically it comes to about 50 cents, 50, 50 cents, $50, I get that right. $50 a vest and it's not a bad price for what this stuff is. Again, go check it out. See what they have there. If anything floats your boat, you might want to take advantage of it. That's at Botax.com. Next is over at Centerfiresystems.com. They've got AK mags, $4 apiece, they're polymer, and they also have steel. AR-15 mags, 30 rounders for $4.99 also. So again, you can go plastic, one direction, metal in the other. Two best prices for magazines in the country so far that we've seen. You might want to take advantage of this in one deal or the other, but you need at least 26 magazines for each weapon that you are going to utilize. You may not carry all of them, although I would. But 26 minimal and again it can be any combination. If you like other magazines made by other companies out there, you can round with the ball. But for now to get your combat mode completely leveled out, take advantage of these 498 or 499 mags for the AR-15. And those $4 AK mags are Turkish, they're the ones that were $4 before. They're now claiming they're on sale, whereas before it was, remember, $5 for $20. We tried to get everybody to buy all those we could. Well, now they're available again for the same price, but if you go and look at the listing, you buy $10 a piece. No, $8, $8 and $10 if you buy $8. $10 apiece. So you tell me, I don't know how the math works on that, but it's the same mags. One way or another at either $8 or $10 apiece, that's double what they were going for. And right now they're back at that price again. So let's take advantage of it and grab what we can. Also, a number of different pouch or multi pouch deals are there if you're using the German Flecktarn or German OD Green. tactical gear from the 70s and 80s. It's been available on and off for the last 30 years and more. Right now over at CenterfireSystems.com they have the 2-Mag Flecktarn but German-centric mag pouches. These are specifically for the German tactical load-bearing system that they came up with. First it was an OD grain, then it was in the Tacticool Flectar in color, which is actually a pretty good pattern. It's not a bad pattern at all, but you have to have the belt and the suspenders to match the system. But the price is really good and they have them in bundles of 10. So if your unit's already committed to that system, and I know quite a few people do use them here, not just in Michigan, but in other locations, You might want to go over to centerfiresystems.com, check to see what they have on the shelf in their surplus, and see if any of the other pouches have cropped up. Yes, they do make canteen covers, which by the way, the mag pouch can be used as a canteen cover. But the shovel covers, holsters, medium-sized pouches, which are, I should say, backpack. combination fanny pouch. You can either put it in the middle of the back or down on the waist. Or actually what we do is typically use two, one below, one above. And it's a decent little combat kit. I like the width of the suspenders. They do, of course, offer a lot more comfort. It's pre-Molly, but it's, you know, same bulk, same, you know, dimensionally speaking. The sizes and the girth of the material is comparable to the Molitec as it progressively developed. Remember the mark ones versus everybody goes Molly two. Everybody forgets there was a Molie one before there was a two and it actually was out there and about. So this is rather interesting where they got the idea from to a degree, probably from the German equipment. Now it's different in terms of how they hook up in the rears. Don't make any mistake there. It's not Molie gear but It is a very, very useful system. If you already have the kit, it's definitely worth picking those mag pouches up. We've got a caller. Who do we have? Hey today was opening day of Red Bull Gear season and they're saying anywhere from 450,000 to 500,000 hunters will be out there. And I'm sitting here thinking, man, could you imagine If we could get that many people out to do militia training and militia stuff, that's a pretty good sight. I remember it there. Well, they actually are right now. We have bipods that are out there, bipeds that are out there hunting quadrupeds. And they are trying to be stealthy while they move tactically through the woods to engage the quadrupeds. Typically, although they may sit and wait, that's ambush. They're all kind of working in the same direction, not completely, but most already are on the same page. Let's say, think about this, if only half of them participated in a war for independence, how does that bode for the bad guys on the other side? That's the thing about these numbers, in which they don't want you to think about. It's good to resist, you will be absorbed, we're outnumbered. What's the total force strength of the National Guard? What's the total force strength of the Michigan State Police? How many people are out there hunting ban me this weekend? Now that means Tom, they've all at least got some kind of high powered rifle in their hands, right? They might have a shotgun, but most are out there for rifle season, which means guys, that's big bore. Well, it could be whatever they want to shoot. They can be using a 5.56, but I mean, whatever you choose to take to the woods, but the fact of the matter is that that already is a hellacious army sitting there and it's pretty well combat equipped. There isn't a weapon they're carrying that I would want to get shot with, right? I wouldn't want to have that aimed at me. But you also have to get some Duke carry diagrams though too. So there's some extra firepower there. As a matter of fact, many carry a personal firearm or handgun for shooting if necessary. To do a coup de gras shot to finish Bambi if Bambi didn't quite decide to succumb to its wounds and or also personal defense in general anyway, just in case something else happens. So yeah, well again, we're outfitting, you're looking at what is already an outfitted army that exceeds the military potential of the Midwest just for Michigan. But here's the thing, Ohio, Indiana, even Illinois, not up around Chicago, they get enough guns as it is. All of these states have deer season. How many weapons have been employed? And which, again, by the way, it doesn't have to be, as we've said many, many times. I don't care what you bring to the field as long as you know how to use it. Well, it's taken a consideration that the average person is going deer hunting at the very least is a good understanding of point of impact You know how the weapons going to work and they've already had plenty of time on it many cases They've already killed Bambi once twice three times maybe Half of their lifetime with that weapon or a saw but also mark that's only though. That's always a license on how many unlike that How many year-round hunters are there? People call them poachers, but they're just year-round hunters that are even more effective at hunting. They don't want you to think about this one either. If a person is a taker of the deer outside of the king's season, and they don't get caught, wouldn't that tell you that that person is an even more dangerous individual in the field as a combatant? I mean, after all, they go out. Now, they don't always use a high-powered rifle. I mean, there's a lot of neat tricks to the trade. But if you're going out there, you do use that, you know, heavier rifle to ensure, you know, one shot, one kill, boom down. That person has been doing that and feeds the family every year, actually all through the year. And they keep right on going out and doing it. And they're pretty stinking successful. Well, does that tell you? This is kind of like the not thinking about what the government not wanting you to think about what kind of ammunition has been purchased and how many weapons we actually have out here. I mean, granted, every once in a while the anti-gunners, oh my god, there's more guns than there are people in America. Yeah, and not that many people get hurt considering other police states where nobody has any gun. And right now, at this moment, and a whole bunch of their people in the population are gonna get shot dead tonight, I'd say we're doing pretty good. That's just me though, of course, and again, common sense, so. I think the big thing here is to remember that what we do need to do is recruit more of those individuals patiently. Don't go crazy. Just flop everything out on the table. But very patiently and very consistently generate an interest and develop individuals that are of like mind. That's something all of you listening out there need to be doing virtually every day. Now, does that mean you're going to convert a whole bunch of people and what? No, you want to focus on that diamond, that gemstone out there. You want to, you know, again, bring that person into the fold once you're sure and bring them up to speed, equip, arm, train. Guys, if each one of you goes up and finds one good person. Force multiplication. How long does it become? How long does it take to become a millionaire if you double a penny? Remember that's the one that well, I'm doubling a penny. You're not going to become a millionaire if you you know, it would take forever. No, doesn't take very long at all. Go look at the math on that. The same is true with regard to recruiting into the militia and the Patriot effort in general. But everybody needs to be serious. And again, we need to bring the right people in. And we have the ability to do so. I think what's fascinating is a lot of the people. I heard music. 30 days. I have. 30 days. 30 days to make a penny turn into a million. A million dollars, yeah. Yeah, 30 days. And what's fascinating about this is again with all of our people out there, we have to understand a good portion of the people that are out there are with us. This is one of the other things that I that again There can't be any discussion in the controlled media. It's futile resist you will be absorbed. You're all alone Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact example is Kind of like what's happening right now with this shortwave time that we have we have a whole bunch of people Supporting the shortwave hour. This does not put a burden on our end-of-the-year bill. Why? Guys they came to us Our listeners came to us and said, we want you to be up on shortwave. And there's a reason. It's part of the traditional formula for the Patriot effort and the people that have stepped up to this and have done their part are highly motivated. That's why we can do this. It's why also again I've asked you guys to focus and I'm gonna say that again only if you'd like to donate for whatever reason to Liberty Tree Radio. Now I'm gonna put a I gotta put a stump in here for Liberty Tree Radio. But if you can please take the time and donate because we do have the beginning of the year end of the year beginning of the year bills. We do this once a year. We need your help. We need to make sure that we cover both expenses and we take care of technical changes that need to take place. Equipment. wear us out because it runs 24 hours a day. It has to be replaced or upgraded. That's not a big deal. We usually tell you if we have a special expense, if we need you to pitch in. But the end of the year drawings are for next year's bill. We pay one year in advance. We pay cash. We make sure that they are happy because they don't have to worry about sending us any other requests to keep us online. Instead, pay the bill and they don't have to worry about you for a whole 12 months. You know what? People like doing that kind of business. But what makes that happen is all of you that are listening. You guys are what has kept Liberty Tree Radio up on the air. Ed does his part because Ed's the chief cook and bottle washer slash the manager of the network. He decides the direction the technology's going. But to get that done, you guys are the ones who step up to the plate and make it happen. Okay? And another group, a very interesting group, are the ones that make the shortwave happen. Why? Well, they have a lot of interesting companies. Some of them build ammunition here in Michigan on a large scale. Some of them, they can't advertise. There's nothing they could advertise on this program. The present sponsorship for the shortwave are people who just have been around a long time in the Patriot effort. How they originally heard the Intel report was through shortwave and also the first internet, the internet radio that we put up. We actually, the Patriot movement created internet radio. It didn't happen from the industry end. It happened from our end, Liberty Tree Radio and Eagle Radio Network. brought people into internet radio. The other side was horrified. We know the backstory on how terrified they were that people would catch on to this. Now, eventually, of course, it would be expanded anyway. You know, it wasn't hard for everybody to figure out how to make it happen. But in reality, Liberty Tree Radio has the impetus for Republic Radio International and Eagle Radio Network out of Vermont are the two mechanisms that actually made internet radio what it is now. Started it out. Okay. Well those guys and gals are now much older and they're movers and shakers not just in Michigan but other parts of the country and they're the ones that want to see growth. They want to, they know they can taste it, touch it, smell it. That we're on the edge of a war. It's a conflict inside the United States. We'll be fighting here. Don't join the military We're gonna be fighting here So we need to be squared away They felt that this would be a one of the many tools and needs to be back in play and it is it's because of our other Element another element shall we say not they are other but another element So we need your help go to Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg calm and if you would take the time and hit the donate key Every dollar you donate goes, for every dollar that you donate, your name goes in the hat for the next drawing, which is gonna be coming up here not that far away, it's about 15 days away. And everybody, if you donate, your name stays in the hat, every donation you make, and you can be pulled again, and that's happened. So for all of you out there, it's fun. We do this, a lot of people wouldn't even worry about. I think many people said, well, I don't really wanna be in the drawing. And it's like I said, it's fun. It's not that we're hurting for you. Oh God, if you don't do this, we'll die. No, it's we have fun doing this. We should have fun while we're doing. We will sing as we slay. We shall be joyful in battle and we are going to have fun in all of the other arenas that we possibly can. Hopefully you guys enjoy what you got. I know several people sent me emails already and they liked the interesting things that have shown up. Thank you. So if you go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, then you go to the donate key, donate whatever dollar amount you want. Before you leave the donate key, please take the time and include a mailing address so that if your name is drawn from the hat, from the big box, from the barrel, then we are going to be able to send you a thank you gift. And again, enjoy doing it. We'll, a couple of our friends, one of them from Tell Me About Ohio. and others have donated boxes of material so that we're able to offer a nice variety of unique things. Hopefully you'll see that they're useful. They should be. And in the process, once we get everything out, we usually have more material than I purchase or other things that are donated, which has happened more than a few times. And the end of the year, we have a couple of big drawings, bigger, I should say, bigger-er, more good-er-er. And then we're done for the year. We don't bother anybody about money or donations or whatever. If you like to donate, we have people that do through the season. But that's how we do things at Liberty Tree Radio. And it was to not put a burden on our listeners. But when we do the work, when we do need to accomplish the task, we'll let you know. And what the goal is too. So, let's see we are, oh my goodness you don't want, I've been talking for a while and we are at the bottom of the hour and you know what happens at the bottom of the hour on weapons Wednesday? Hey! I can- This is my kid but this one is mine. It is my life. It's useless. Useless. Shoot him before he shoots me. Before God- In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not the singing of the view, the wild and free. So soon you'll know that all the right folk from the tree, Oh, the right folk, oh, the right folk. In our hands, the truth, no right folk. You may ride a good late speed, you may know it's turnin' after. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And their leader George Starks, glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands, it will prove no strife. The hourbreak, you know it's Weapons Wednesday. is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is. You're not going to pry it away from me except from my cold dead hands and I'm not going to let that happen. I'll make sure I throw it to an enemy. Oh, wait a minute. I'll throw the bullets at the enemy. A lot of them. Everything I can, last round, gasp and toss the weapon off to make sure it goes to an ally. Everything, the accoutrements, materials, support, whatever I can. If you pass on, Make sure that very quietly everything that you put together goes to somebody that's going to appreciate it. Don't leave it to the family. If the family's a bunch of leftists, you know better than that. Make sure that at the payo you pass it on to the people who count, people who have stuck to their guns. Those are the people that we need to continue to support. We can do it even from the grave. So, one of the other things here, remember, as was pointed out, this is my rifle. Your rifle has to continue to function. P-O-L products, petroleum oil and lubricant products. There are a lot of good items out there. I'm not going to push a particular one except maybe Gibbs. Oh, wait a minute. I do have a preference. I love Gibbs as a utility, lubricant, and penetrant because it is... And by the way, there's nothing fancy. Gibbs does not have any big flourish or racing. Well, I guess maybe they are sponsoring a few race cars. But they're not flashy in terms of advertising, etc. They were a performance and racing product originally, still are. But Gibbs is fantastic because it does not affect the materials that are associated with typically firearms use. Leather, wood, any other materials that it comes in contact with, it actually helps to preserve. does not hurt wood, will not harm linseed oiled wood, military wood for instance, typical. If you got any older weapons, in fact, it's really good for them. The leather barn traditionally has used, here in Michigan has used, Gibbs as part of its old leather treatment for especially tired leather that's been sitting stuck away in a box or a closet or whatever and it's kind of like hardwood. Gibbs changes that. Okay, so Gibbs, you have to look it up online. Of course now there are different locations that carry the Gibbs line of products, but it has not changed for decades. Again, usually it's a plain, real plain white letter, or, oh, pop, forgive me, plain paper wrapper with black lettering Gibbs. Oh, is there any fancy imagery? No, it's Gibbs. It's just Gibbs. It's kind of like just plain basil. Remember from that cartoon series? Just plain basil. And what's fascinating about it is it works. I usually have a case around right now. I'm down and I'm actually going to have to break down for the first time in quite a while and pick up a case or two more before we get to, you know, conflict. especially good for some automatic rifle use in like the Garand, the Hakim, the M42 series, the Danish rifle, the mother of the Hakim, any of the weapons of that kegric, I'll tell you what, not many things really work well with the G43 K43. I have built so many of those. Of course, now they're worth a small fortune to the point where it's pretty obvious, I guess, there's inside built or we put these together or collected them as parts from decades ago. I could actually dump any one of them for a few thousand dollars each and they're safe and secure somewhere. But the thing is that the if you're not familiar with the g43 k43 It's a stamp receiver only finish what needs to be finished that counts everything else is left rough Now that doesn't make for any problems in operation, but the nature of the k43 and g43 You have to keep the thing lubricated, and it's an odd man out weapon system I've used a lot of different lubricants, but I'm going to tell you one that sticks with the gun properly and does it justice and that's Gibbs. So if you got a G43 or K43, the good thing is since it's a collector's item, the lubricant will not affect the wood. Now half of the stocks, most of the stocks, I don't say half, most of the stocks made for the G43 and K43s were laminate, but not all of them. And I would say one out of three that I have are the standard original wooden stock basically the same way they built the regular K98 Mauser stock although they did a lot of laminate Mauser stocks, don't you know that. But does it affect the wood? If you have any leather frogs or anything you don't have to chew on your toenails about messing up the leather or you know if you hit it with the lubricant Gibbs is complimentary to the leather. So again, that's another one of those rifles. What's an old gun? Yeah, it'll still kill you. Dutter and doornail right now, I guarantee. If I put a sight on you from a camp with a K-43 or a G-43 rifle, I'll bet you dropped dead today just like you did 70 years ago. Yeah, it's amazing. It's just very ad nauseating and consistent. Yep, pull the trigger. Boom. Big hole. Bow. Dead. Well, or at least dropping and thrashing a lot. So, again, Gibbs is a good choice. There are many other lubricants that have come out over the last 50 years, and that goes back to the 70s. That's not the last middle of the last century. That's only the 70s. And all of them work. I'm not telling you to change anything, but you might want to try Gibbs. It's an excellent product. You can find it online. And you sometimes, I'll tell you where you will find it, I've seen it on the shelf. Arkansas and Missouri, and I have seen it on the eastern end of Oklahoma at some of the bigger, older truck stops. Gibbs is popular at different parts of the country, so it's definitely something you want to look at. If you can pick it up, no, it's not cheap. I'll tell you that right now, but then again, PLS is not cheap. All of these other high penetrant or high lubricants you're looking used to be under $10 actually $7 $8 a can Everything is crept up in the last two years gee well three years. What a surprise. We already knew that was happening but Gibbs has actually stayed pretty much in the middle range price-wise for an aerosol can you can also get it in regular just dispenser liquid form pourable Either one's good. Both work. And it's the same product. And then Gibbs does produce other products just like many of the other auto racing companies. So they have fuel additives, they have engine additives, they have lubricants of other kinds, and greases. So it's a wide spectrum. When I use the Gibbs on a grand somebody's asking, yeah, actually I have. Oh, M1As. I use Gibbs or I use another unique lubricant we picked up from another, actually, well, okay, I'll say this. One of the sponsors of the shortwave program right now is a heavy industrial company that has access to a whole bunch of other neat stuff, okay? And so they've given us a certain amount of lubricants and there's a few unique brands of higher-grade lubricants for the machining processes that are really fantastic for minimal application to working contact points. And I'll tell you what, in opera on the grand, Gibbs actually is really good for this too. Normally you'd use a grease. But if you use a light coat of Gibbs over the hole of the op rod, disassemble the rifle, pull the op rod, clean everything off, get the carbon off of the piston, and lubricate it with Gibbs, and take a rag and just sit there and reapply the lubricant a few times over the hole of the op rod, and then reassemble it. It's a slick side. It's really a fan. It's fantastic because it can handle the heat. That's another thing that's most important. It stays bonded, viscous, and handles the heat of say a grand. You know what I haven't tried it on, but I'm sure it'd be just as good as on the M1 carbine. Now, still, if you have lubricate or whatever for the carbine or the grand or the M14, use it. But if you want to experiment, not going to hurt the weapon in any way, shape or form. The advantage is, is that while a lubber plate you typically want to use on the piston and the head, with Gibbs, you want to coat the whole thing. You want to permeate the metal. What this does is when the operation of the gas system does take place, the Gibbs is permeating the crystalline structure of the metal. And what it does, or any of your other lubricants that are higher end, the anti-rust, anti-corrosion lubricants that are out there, therefore heavy industrial machinery and semi-exposed environments serves the same purpose. It seals the crystalline structure of the metal. The carbon hits, but it doesn't stick. It can't permeate. It can't lock in. And then first, of course, it's viscous. Remember, when your cartridge fires, the material is combusted. but there's a converting chemical process taking place as it carbonizes. Well, when that happens, it locks onto the crystalline structure of the metal and bonds into it. Well, if you have proper lubricants blocking that, the carbon can't do that. The weapon will continue to function. The carbon will be evacuated from the firearm through the natural motion of the weapon, okay, the natural actions of the weapon. So, this is another reason to commit to a little higher grade of material for certain weapon systems. G3, the FN FAL, etc., etc., all of these would be complemented by the improvement of this type. So, there's not much you need to do with any of those weapons. They all function well enough. But we're trying to you know, keep them in the keep them in the conflict for the longest period of time we possibly can and Proper lubricants prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance and the proper lubricants that are applied. They make all the difference in the world. Okay But whatever else you're using I'm not arguing with your fighting me over that because there are just too many products on the market Whatever one more area works for you. Go ahead call your ship in there This is John from Kentucky. Would that be a good application in the 30 carbine? But tap it, pull the castle and clean it, move it? Yes, that's what I... Yeah, you've got the right idea. That's what I was saying. It would have the same application, decarbonize it, because you know it doesn't take too long. I'll tell you, the carbine is a great light rifle. You know, again, it's a carbine. Guys I know that used it in Korea my uncle Lloyd used it in Korea. He said Fantastic weapon. He's a small guy to begin with carried the carbine in the m2 and m3 full auto version Now you see a lot of images from the Korean War where the guy just rattles off a whole 30 round or a 15 round mag, you know Coming out like a singer sewing machine right over the top of the you know, the gun the key know the brass is You said you're only good for about 500 rounds, not even that sometimes because of the different ammo that they were getting. You get a lot of buildup in that piston, so you did have to break it down more often with select fire. If you were in heavy volume fire with an M1 carbine, I'm sure you still had the same issues, but I didn't hear as much complaint. Don't ask me why. I think, again, like I said, you're building up calories. The metal heats up. This opens up the crystalline structure of the metal. The carbon is passing through the piston. It locks into that structure. When it cools, it's like cement. In other words, think about it. It's just like when you want to loosen up a bolt. What do you do? You heat it up. Expands. What happens when it cools? It contracts. Well, when it does that, and the crystalline structure of metal is doing it, the carbon sticks with it. And it's actually worked into the metal. If you had a microscope, you could see this. So, yeah, the Gibbs, or if you have a select higher grade of bonding lubricant like that, but it's not a grease. These are all, again, in the liquid lubricants. What happens is they permeate into the metal and they seal the crystalline structure. But again, because they can handle the high temperatures, which is what happens with your operata or the gas piston and the little tapestan and the carbine, The lubricant stays there, stays bonded, works into the crystalline structure of the metal when it opens up. And so this prevents the crystalline structure or the modified carbon structure to mimic those grooves and cracks and the levices and it won't bond, it won't stick. Which means that yes, your tap it should be staying cleaner longer because it's going to evacuate, it'll just naturally scrape and evacuate the carbon because carbon will have anywhere to stay, you know, we'll have a lock up. Good point, yes, again, carbine. And Gibbs is a really good product. I've used it for decades now. And years ago, one of our listeners said, hey, have you tried this? And it's like, well, no, I haven't. But you know what? Now I have. And Gibbs, G-I-B-B-S. Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs. Now you got something else? Run with it. I don't have a problem with that. Now the other thing about the carbine, again, is what we just talked about there, most people won't think about this. Okay, let's say that the carbon evacuation is taking place. Guys, when you clean the action, make sure that you clean the stock trough. that the tap it rests in that area right there. Because that, in fact, you'll notice this if you haven't already, if you haven't cleaned your carbine. Cleaning the M1 carbine is not running, you know, holding the bolt back and running a rod through the barrel. That's not cleaning the carbine. You have to go look at the manual. What you want to do is lift the action out of the stock. And one of the other things you have to do every time You need to clean out the stock trough where that piston system rests. Why? Well, take a look at it. I've seen where it looks like it's solid graphite. Looks like pencil lead. What is that? That's the burnt carbon material. That's the left over material that was diverted, the gas that was diverted which had of course the fired material, the powder, converted into a carbonized resin. And so you want to clean that stock out. Why? Well, in fact, you also want to hit it with some gibs, if you can, because it does the same thing for the wood that it's going to do for the metal. You clean out the stock, wipe it down really good, get something to pull the garbage out of the stock. You don't want to suck all the oils out, but guess what? If you use the gibs, you're going to be putting oils right back in that are healthy for the wood. So, it's a good product solution in that respect. Now, I would also say this, thank you for bringing this subject, you know, by talking about the carbines, sir. Your M14 and your M1 Grant have the same issues with regard to not just cleaning the action, but wiping down the stock. And I would go so far as to say, you're, is that you are going to use the gibs is clean the stock off on the trough in the trough all the way from the muzzle to the receiver and introduce gibs into that whole area. Why? Well here's what's interesting is that when the weapon heats what's going to happen is the wood is going to if it's going to weep it's going to weep a positive lubricant. Now it doesn't mean that grease or cosmoline is a super negative lubricant But let me remind you something and this is especially true when you pull the old old rifles out of cosmoline I don't care what they are but the garand is notorious for this is that they literally saturated the stock with cosmoline For as long as you'll shoot the rifle if you keep heating if you heat it up or if you're out on a good summer day Your little you know your grand stock is gonna weep cosmoline It's just how it is. Now, that's not a problem. I mean, I don't have a problem. I know I'm handling a machine. But remember the cosmoline heats up, but it started out as a viscous Vaseline type material. It's going to heat up, redistribute, and collect, and then it's going to clot back up again. Now, that's why you need to clean that weapon on a regular basis if you've recovered or pulled out of a storage site, because again, a lot of these grands came out years ago from the Strategic Reserve, and they were stored properly. Well, that's why a lot of guys seek out a new stock, typically because the original stock is more than serviceable, but she's a little on the greasy side. You can clean it off with gasoline. I've seen everybody use every trick you can imagine. But wood is porous and absorbent. And cosmoline is designed to permeate. So it gets wherever it can. It'll keep right on the steel, soaking in and locking into place. The good thing is cosmoline doesn't hurt the wood. But it again, once you've cleaned it off enough, one of the things to consider is, or even with your newer stocks, is lubricating with gibs or with whatever you choose, not soaking it, but putting it on the wood. And what this does is when the material heats, it's not going to pull out the ethers, or I won't, the ether's gone, but the different stains and other materials that are resins. Instead, again, it seals the pores of the wood. It allows for the lubricant to ride on the wood itself. And if anything's going to be drawn to the metal, it's going to be more of a positive lubricant that is not going to negatively affect the operation of the rifle. That's another consideration. Again, not all of you are going to have to worry about this. Not everybody's got a grand, but I know a lot of you have been buying them, and we know a lot of people have been buying car beans from the civilian marksmanship program. So, just things you need to think about. Read all you can about those rifles. They're excellent firearms. You can be a carbine, I'll run it all day. I wouldn't have any problem. Well, it's all we got. That's good enough. I'll take it. Give me a grand, run it all day. Give me an M14, I'll hug you, kiss you, and run it all day. I won't even think twice. Won't be pouting, oh, didn't I get an M60? Why didn't I get a Y? Oh, why? I'm not worried about that. Is it an effective fighting weapon? Is it a fighting implement? Is it an effective weapon? Yes. Will it do the job? Yes. Does it have limitations? Every weapon does. Learn what they are, figure out how to deal with the issue if there is one, and get on with business until you can change out if you really feel you don't like the weapon you've been issued. By the way, the best solution there, go buy something. You're the pilot. Do something. Okay, go buy something. Buy what you need. The other thing here real quick, yes, AR-15, Mini-14, Gibbs, yep, works on that. Follow instructions for normal lubrication for the weapon system that you're talking about. You may not have to apply as much, although typically, again, light application is usually the guideline of the standard across the board. There are only key working points that should have more lubricant applied simply because they will sloth off. burn off, cook off the lubricant. And again, this is why you need to know your weapon. So do the research on each of the firearms and study as much as you can to develop and become a master of that particular weapon system. Also, magazines. We're talking about polymer mags here earlier. There's a great price on them over at Botash.com for AR-15 mags. But there are still a lot of steel mags out there. Do you oil and grease up magazines? No, you don't oil and grease them up per se, but you do have to do maintenance and you got to remember what's out of sight and out of mind usually becomes a problem. So if you do have metal magazines, yes, you need to disassemble them, know how to do it. You need to clean them out internally and yes, you need to apply a very very very light lubricant Now there are dry lubes you can use that's fantastic and that would be preferred for this particular application But here's what's gonna happen You're gonna be a place where you can't go to the store because the war is on and you're gonna be Suffering with whatever you can get hold of you might be using automotive oil by the time you're done And I probably I'm pretty well guarantee you will at some point. So what you have to remember is how to control the application and that's again if you pay attention to your old military policy was you put a dot on the surface area and that little dot of oil is sufficient to cover the whole inside area of the magazine and you wipe it and spread it around generously so that it's distributed and then you do one swipe with a baby cloth you know a dry cloth and that eliminates if there was any SOP, anything that was excess. And when I say drop, I'm talking a miniscule amount. But the idea is that you're doing the same thing with that metal magazine you do with your receiver. You've got to seal the metal up. You don't want grease, because again, grease will be transferred in the motion. Remember, what's going on inside the magazine. You've got the cartridges moving. You don't want POL, petroleum oil product, petroleum oil and lubricant products, on your ammunition. You don't want it even near your ammunition anymore and absolutely necessary. Typically when you load a magazine, yeah, in theory, wasn't it close to something that's oiled there? Sure, but it's not going to be there very long. Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back Don't get rid of any clothing. Well, Mark, you're just a hoarder. Yeah, I always love when the idiots do that. Say that. Okay, uh... Do you think there's gonna be a rag factory out there? I mean, you're just what we're gonna be doing. I'm gonna tell you right now, I'm not bearing anybody in their clothes. Their clothes aren't going into the hole. They're gonna be all messed up and bloody. Well, you know what? Break out the scissors. Man-made materials in this up-and-coming conflict are going to be even more of a tested issue than World War II. We don't have the manufacturing. We don't have the production capacity Everything manufactured will have to be used until it just can't be used anymore when it's done in one purpose It's going to be transferred to another if you have old t-shirts you don't throw them away You don't throw them in the trash don't burn them you cut them up and you make a rag box and you better start adding to that Just gun patches alone. How many gun patches if you actually go to the range? How many patches does it take to clear the tube? First you obviously are going to use lubricants and go through the proper step. But how many times does it take for you to swipe, swab, slash, swipe that barrel to get it right? Well, you think those patches are going to be available? Four. Nope, go ahead. At least. I said four. Four? Yeah, no, that's pretty close. I mean, got another suggestion for you. Wet those patches. Put them in a metal can and make char cloth. You can use that with your flint and steel to make fire. Matter of fact, again, everything that we've got. Go ahead. I'm out. Okay, very good. We are getting close to the top here, guys. We're going farther. We are. I'm here. Nancy Pelling, Senator Ted Cruz, is all she posted.
