He took off his three cornered hat, bought a revolution. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from Tyranny. For future generations, this legacy began. In this, the freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The Tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from a god and a 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 seasonally farm and keep our country deep. but men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be 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 what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from when And good. Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first 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, southwest, and north. The gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we are on satellite, I want to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. No matter what body of water you're on, and however you're listening, we appreciate both analog and digital satellite, both the individual listening experience and working as a repeater. So we have quite a network out there. You guys are doing all the work. We're just providing the signal. We're also at a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States including 95.3 FM micro FM and our friends out there in misery. That's right. Western misery. We're in misery, non misery. And again, thank you. We appreciate the guys that are putting up new micro FMs. and there's a number of different people that have been doing this for decades. You're just joining the new wave and we appreciate the idea that you're also spreading the word on how to hook up, not just of course with your microbe, but we also provide all the rest of the information. So you can have the backup to the backup to the backup to the backup we've always talked about. Anyway, it is, well, it's Tuesday. We survived. the eclipse, the epileptic eclipse, the week out of the sun, unka, wonka, unka, ooh, more on that in a minute. And again, it is the 9th of April. It is the 16th year of open obvious and in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. America with the K 2024 Old Earth Calendar. Give it all she's got, Captain. And 2024 Battle for the Republic, book one, The Dance of Swords, let the dance begin. Yeah, I know many people. Hey Mark. Well, we got Tom there, go ahead, Tom, what do you got? Well, I survived so that must mean I didn't get that shot, I'm still here. We should also get a t-shirt though, shouldn't we? We should get a t-shirt in the mail. I survived the eclipse of 2024. Oh my God. Some places it was clouded over completely. We kind of joked them, what would you do if it's just clouded over everywhere? They're not likely to happen, but that would be rather mystic unto itself, wouldn't it? It didn't happen. Plenty of places. Even here, pretty clear. We could see it happening. Yeah, okay. It reminds me of all the other ones I've experienced or that even if I haven't experienced myself, I've seen all the other videos of the other people who experienced them over the decades that I've been alive because it doesn't always happen where we can see it. You know, that too. But anyway, more just a demonstration of the public fool system operating guys. Anybody watch the little Crazy Town Nutcases, a little female program, the view, where the one twit was explaining how it was man. Man's fault. Now, of course, I told you I warned you about this. You're gonna see this bleed out the stupidity of the Unka-Wunka-Munka-Wunka crew. And you sure as hell. It's climate change and climate change that made the sun god to cover up with maybe was it's sky pollution It was the biggest chunk of sky pollution you can possibly imagine an example of carbon tax and why it's needed if we carbon tax more the moon will not get in the way of the Sun if we if If we understand that it's all man's fault that the moon got in the way of the sun yesterday, if we had only sacrificed more, well of course this was a satanic pedo queer saying this, it would have been, they would have expected to have been able to sacrifice more of you Christians. They didn't sacrifice enough Christians, so the Ookalooka Manuna God, Moon God, got in the way of the sun because of global warming, climate change, global cooling. Well, just remember that. Okay, I heard Phyllis there too. Go ahead, Phyllis, what do you got? Yeah, it won't be in Mark until like 2045. Oh, I'll stick around. This is not something that was made by man. You know, there's so much crap on it. It's just absolutely absurd. But I did find out yesterday that really surprised me. And I'll, sorry to interrupt a bit. No, go ahead, go ahead. My friends of mine saw this in, probably about six or eight miles away from where I live. And when they saw the total eclipse, they actually saw two CMEs coming off the sun. When I saw the total eclipse, all I saw was a was the moon but it wasn't round. It was actually kind of odd shaped. So it was probably because of the cloud, a little bit of cloud cover that was there. But it was kind of interesting. So it just depended apparently where you were or maybe what particular time you looked at it, what you saw apparently. No, I think what happened, you don't understand. You seem to forget. The moon is made, it's not green cheese, but it is a cheese. And it was globular because of the overheating on the far side, which never happens unless the moon just happens to get in front of the sun like this. And so it kind of got spoiled, blubby over like a pizza in the oven, that kind of thing. You were seeing it right, Phyllis. But it was still made by man. The cheese was made by man. that was on the moon, that melted, that created the blobular mess and weird shape that you saw. Shame on you, Phyllis, for even existing and seeing it and acknowledging it. You should all be ashamed. Everyone, especially if you're white. Go ahead. I think we have- I was going to mention that from the eclipse down here we had two rainbow halos all the way around the eclipse when it was going on down here in Texas through the high level clouds that we had. Very interesting. It took a picture of it. No, that's not what that's from either. I understand which doctor, science, my methodology. It was because of evil Texas oil that was a man made space Slick, another example of global warming, global cooling, and climate change, and why once again Texas, for being relatively conservative, needs to apologize, and oil is what caused the problem. You all, all you people in Texas are evil. I don't know, listen to this, three examples of why it is we need to apologize for existing. We know that we're all racist because we didn't allow the black moon to take over the very bright sun and give us the epitome of black religiosity. Just another example of man keeping us down. I'll tell you people, this all comes together. It all comes together when you got shoe sides like you people in the news. But I do believe everything is being said as far as different atmospheric effects. That's true. You have, remember, the air is thinner out that way, especially the western part of the country on the bottom, desert territory, different types of materials in the air. And so yeah, you're going to get different effects. The coronal shoots I didn't really have anything that was that detailed that I could see anything with and like I said to me the moon looked rather Blobular like like you said Phyllis it looks like the cheese was melting and there was just a little bit of a thread around the outside It didn't the moon didn't do a good job of covering this the Sun the way it should have showed that it could force us into submission to acknowledge the Righteous indignation of Cthulhu the soul leader. What's your dollars to it? You know I don't know what to say. I have to apologize for existing. It was my fault. It was I'm a white guy. It was my fault. The sun didn't do it right. The moon didn't do it right. But it's climate change. It's white guy racist made. Go ahead. We have another caller. Go ahead. Mike from Ohio. Yeah, Mike from Ohio. We're in the path of totality. So we've spent had two years of classes and meetings about how it was going to be apocalyptic because our county was going to be swarmed by hundreds of thousands of people. So I had to be at the firehouse all day yesterday and the only influx of people I really noticed was all the sheriff's deputies that showed up at right at once time of course to drink the coffee and eat the food we had. But interestingly enough, the day started out completely clear and then by noon it was the crisscross chemtrails and that clawed up the sky mostly. Now I'm serious, the coronavirus experience that we had here with the sun was normal, okay? Except for the melty cheese cuz the moon is in pretty bad shape now because it was so close to the sun. However, thank you for bringing that up. Now, we had a, they produced triangles in the skies here. I'm sorry, we were watching it and I showed Nancy. And it's interesting that we actually had, they had coordinated aircraft so that we had two very relatively small, but obviously constructed triangles over the airspace here in the bottom of Michigan. One was right over the Ohio border area, the other was up around mid state by altitude, because you can see it easily from the ground. I mean, guys remember, you can see more than just a few miles. But we see what's really obvious about this, or really unique, is we had north-south air traffic. Now, you gotta understand something about Michigan. Michigan actually has the air traffic channel for the polar activity that goes to Europe, and in fact, Russia. So, the corridor, but the corridor, the way you're supposed to fly by air traffic mapping, and in fact you can see it if you've been in the state long enough, is the air traffic comes over the pole, comes basically straight over the pole down to the Upper Peninsula. When it gets to the Upper Peninsula and just over basically the top of Lake Michigan, The traffic can split there, but it typically by simple navigational, you can observe if you had to. I mean, if you're in the air, you could follow the traffic line of Lake Michigan, or they split and literally fly over Lake Huron, slash over Lake Erie and wherever they're headed in that direction. Well, the yesterday or whatever, yeah, the day of the Pocky clips. We had aircraft flying right up the middle of the state and leaving and these were obvious chemtrails. They stuck to it, but they created two big A's like or triangles look like anarchy symbols. Were they crisscrossed and of course then they crossed the base to create a three sided area, which I thought was rather interesting. That was more interesting, forgive me, it was just Wow, so the air traffic controllers and the powers that be were putting symbols in the sky to make us all feel little because they're gods because they took three standard commercial aircraft with sprayers and onko wonkau between the melting moon cheese and seeing the occultic triangles in the sky. I'm supposed to panic, I think. I didn't panic. I felt terrible though because I should have panicked. I know that. I shouldn't be apologizing to. Go ahead. I just want to come up. The caller there working at the firehouse. Yeah. That brings up to kind of what me and Craig were talking about. Craig was agreeing with me that you know nothing was going to happen, but them calling out the National Guard was no big deal. The point that I was making on Friday's program and during Craig's program is that the conspiracy was not that anything was going to happen. It was the fact of the matter that they were wasting your taxpayer money calling out the National Guard for this BS Sun event. Which they totally eschewed the numbers. You know a million people influx to the state of Texas alone and this one city and The way they reported it was BS and supposedly a million people came to Texas for that There were three million people that booked into like the one place You're not going to have a million people everywhere along the line of totalitarian whatever the eclipse BS through Texas. It was never going to be all the way across the United States either. There were so many places we could stop, just pull off the road and look at it if you wanted to. Or walk off the front porch like we did. If the lights revolved around that, there are so many places where you could go. But they intentionally made a couple of spaces where people could go that would be, you know, tilt points. But there were stadiums. And there's stadiums that see that kind of traffic every time there's a big game. They don't need the National Guard for that BS. They didn't need the National Guard for any of this stuff. The influx of police officers, like I said, if Ann Arbor has a maker sporting event happen there at the University of Michigan Stadium, they don't call in the National Guard. They might call in the state police and the county cops to help with the city police to direct traffic, but that's all they need. The only thing that shows up mostly are, let's just say, unsolicited food vendors. Only because, like I said, they know a market when they see one. That's about it. Well, the other interesting thing is the way that they did play up the big event. is for instance supposedly there's a picture and they didn't have the woman going, you know, hey, hi, how you doing everybody? I'm the stewardess. How many of you are going to see the eclipse or going flying today to see the eclipse and the whole plane raised its hand? Well, they said, here's what they did. They're voicing over, oh, this stewardess asked the question and everybody in the plane raised their hand that they're going for going to the, you know, to see the eclipse. Well, really, how would you know that? It was a classic propaganda shot where there was no vocals. It's like when you say President Trump said this and they got Trump in the background, but you can't hear what he's saying. Why do I need to have a news announcer give me some parody of what the President said? When I have the President on recording and you can let me hear what he said from beginning to end so that there's nothing taken out of context. See, this is all basic propaganda 101 to pump it up. The interesting thing is, I would expect the cops to show up and other people just like was mentioned because free food, free coffee, free food, and I'm sure they got good donuts. In fact, they probably, if the bake shop was smart, they'd make end of the world doughnuts. Special crawlers with all kinds of sprinkles, little lunar, like, that would be a cool one. Eclipse cupcakes. You do an orange frosting with a black Oreo on top. And not a smiley face, but a grimace face with a couple of exclamation eyes on the Oreo. Would that be cool? There you go, eclipse cupcakes. See, give me a minute, we can market this thing, man, I'm telling you. We could market it. And the cheese still melted on the moon. I was worried about this, I could tell. And by what our callers are saying, the coronal overspill is because the cheese was rolling off the moon and hitting the skillet face of the sun. And it created those flashes just like when it's in your oven or when you're on the stove cooking with frying food, that kind of stuff. I knew it was gonna happen, dude. It's all man's fault. It's all climate change, man. Climate change is the problem. And white heterosexual man from the West is the most evil and responsible for the moon disappearing yesterday. Remember, know who to blame and how to blame him. Go ahead. While being a complete idiot in the process, of course, but that's what we expect for the other side. Go ahead, caller. I think you heard a voice. This is Mike again. Yeah, luckily we stamped out some of the calls for the National Guard. It was our EMA lady that did it. I mean, she's, despite being connected to the HIPAA, Homeland Security, she's actually pretty decent and has a head on her shoulders. There's people saying that and she said, look, here's what's going to happen. We call it the National Guard. Where are these people going to come from? It's going to be The doctors, the nurses, the sheriff's deputies, and the firemen in our own county are going to be called up because many of them are in the National Guard. And then they're going to be sent to Columbus. They're going to be sent to Columbus. They're not going to, they're going to be sent out of the county. So it'll leave us in worse shape than if we didn't call them. So luckily it didn't happen. Which by the way just qualifies what I've told you many times on the air because some people have gotten pissed. They said, you know, here's the problem with the National Guard is everybody double dips and they go, what do you mean double dips? I said, well, how many cops are in MP National Guard units? Why? Well, because they weren't MP. They got out of the army as an MP. They got into being a cop. And, by the way, they're still in the actual guard. Well, the problem with double dipping in this case is, like you said, if you mobilize the guard, the cop that you hired, which you're not a problem with the cop being there, but you better have more people. Because in time of war, and this is a discussion we always had, with regard to mobilization of forces, is you got a lot of critical people that you're not gonna pull from society. They're going to get exclusion. They're going to get overrides. Are you a critical individual in the community? Well, there's only six cops and I'm one of them. For the whole of the town, we're like it. So, okay, well, I guess they're giving them an exemption, maybe. Needless to say, if the government was rabid to go to war, they'd just drag your ass off anyway. It's interesting, your point is absolutely out in the money in that you'd just be rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. And the guard wouldn't really serve that much of any purpose. You'd be better off and here's something nobody talks about. If you have a sheriff's department, you should have a militia slash a posse. Used to always have, in Washtenaw County even, which is hairball communist, well, used to be Ann Arbor was hairball communist, and the rest of the county is relatively sensible for all the regular conservative people were. And the county had always had a large sheriff reserve slash read that, additional sheriff's deputies that were on standby. A lot of times they were retirees or they were individuals who just wanted to get qualified and maybe down the road they might be interested in the job. Mostly they just want to be able to pitch in. And anytime it was pointed out like a big baseball game or a big fair or a special event. Then they would call out the reserve and have the manpower that they needed without putting any special stress on anything. And that's how it should be. It should be local, if anything. All this dribble with all this hyper-centralized communist bullshit, which is what we have with Homeland Security. It's a worthless operation as far as I'm concerned. And for one reason it's proven itself to be worthless. The border is wide open, the border is wide open, the border is wide open. And since they wanted all these tasks and all these jobs and all of it under one big carnival circus, circus tent, what we got is nothing. They're not good at anything. They're not good at doing any of the job because they've collected all the power and well, they don't necessarily share the wealth. Because they want to maintain the power and still collect the wealth, you know, you know, stick to that cash that big that big money bag that drops from the sky the money kit. So again, this is where why it's why we need to be prepared to deal with this. I've argued and I will continue to argue militia is still the best choice and solution. It's not out of sight by many parts of the country or people are still around that remember the militia being in place to an even more extensive degree. Ever listened to the song, let's see, playing in a traveling band? Yeah, you know what, by the way, we're at the bottom of the hour. I know, we got into my favorite subject, government and aptitude, but also combined with public full system stupidity. Well, it could be because when you have people on the national television telling you that the moon went into eclipse over the sun because of climate change, you know that stupid has floated to the top of the toilet turd pile. Just stupid is right there in your face. national television no less. And by the way, the other stupid that were there, the other idiots sticks were there were trying to soften the stupid. Well, I don't think it's kind of it happens and it's proven if you watch with the response when the idiots stick said that, it was manmade climate change that would be affected the lunar eclipse which made the lunar eclipse the way it is. And then they had to bumble around desperately trying to cover for dumb, okay? Again, Edward, if you could play in, in a traveling band by CCR, Credence Clearwater Revival. We haven't played that in a while here. You might recall that that's a song that was used in Predator, just in case you don't remember. And there's a couple lines, there's one line in there. There's one word in there that just jumps out if you're paying attention. So we are at the bottom of the hour. This is LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. And I will remind you too that we are headed into the critical middle week, weekend for our training operations. Here in Michigan, we've got a large joint communications exercise. This is going to entail operational groups in the Upper Peninsula, all across the state, literally every point of the compass. And every county just about if we do it right, so we will be up on, it will be a flier. We're going to, unlike the total eclipse, this really will be man-made and we will be responsible for it. But we are going to be running everything and trying to do what we call a round robin exercise with each of our systems. We're going to be doing FRS, this is going to be short short. We're gonna be doing CB, we're gonna be doing two meter, we're gonna be doing marine radio, we're gonna be doing everything. That includes all the VHF, UHF. Marine radio is fun cuz it really doesn't take that many repeaters to get that accomplished. But we still like to include as many as we can. And needless to say, we're gonna be running shortwave. So as far as that goes, deployments. The only thing I can say is you might want to be shopping for gas for the generators. Prices of, as several people have pointed out last week, have been rollercoastering. We were up north, some of the people are listening, we were up north visiting this last week. We caught two gas stations perfectly, 30 cents less a gallon. Here's what's funny, like I said, I think I mentioned it with the one. We turned around, came back, and the time it took for us to turn around a few hours and come back. And we figured we'd top off the tank cuz it was so cheap and it was right up to where everybody else was. It went up 34, 35 cents a gallon. So you're gonna wanna do some spot checks, might even wanna call ahead with friendlies in the area to identify because a 30 cent jump if you're filling up a number of vehicles, doesn't take long for that money to add up. And you can significantly save by planning your transport. So remember to cooperate with each other on that. We'll see we can do that way. It's one of those many things where 30 cents in our pocket is better than shelled out because of the Petosniffer Meat Puppets regime and racketeers doing what they can to destroy our spendable income. Consuming it in so many oblique ways. That's what this is all about. Anyway, uh oh. Hopefully we didn't lose Edward there. Ed, if you could. Playing in a traveling band by Credence Clearwater Revival, CCR. We'll see if he can pull it out of the files there. I actually have it right here in front of me too. Of course, I'm not gonna do that. We don't have the system hooked up. Also, real quick, I used communications Tuesday, by the way. Ran into something, yeah, I didn't notice this either. Some of the new Cobra FRS radios. have gone back to proprietary batteries, warning, warning, Robinson, warning, danger. And they're not the most expensive radio, so this is not a good thing. I have a set of the older ones, and I compared it because I have a set of the newer ones. And yes, it is the same battery pack even though the radio itself has had some changes. They made some difference in the molding and the dimpling of the plastic, but internally it appears to be 100% the same. And this is on the Cobra handheld FRS rechargeable Now, here's the thing. I can't see that Cobra doesn't make or one of the BaoFing battery packs might be adaptable, may actually plug right in. The BaoFing adaptable for AAA batteries or AA batteries depending on the radio. The reason I say this is because the radio battery that's in the Cobras looks to be very similar to the middle generation Bao fiang batteries where the whole, the battery is not the back of the radio but is encapsulated, it's rectangular, two point contact. They're good radios. In fact, they work just as well as anything else. And I have not, I will say this, I have not pulled apart or done an autopsy on one of the battery packs. But I'd be willing to bet dollars to donuts here that what they did is they, it's just, if you open the clam shell, if you open the shell, which is you're gonna have to compromise it. That's the thing I don't wanna do with, I hate to do it because they're functioning. But I would be willing to bet it's three AA rechargeable batteries. I believe that we could easily rebuild these if we don't open it up yet down the road. You could probably open up the cap on these boxes. They are sealed quite well. I don't know if they're glued. They're actually a fixture type thing where they're compressed together. But, and you can't see the battery on the inside. You can't see what kind of batteries. Now, it could be service batteries and they are all soldered together, which means there's another task, but that can be done. There's nothing that's super special about that. I think I know how to run a soldering pan. And the batteries themselves, you could actually even make up another battery pack. to go inside the little battery carrier so that you could use regular alkali batteries or whatever batteries you have in place of the rechargeables. Now, on that note, don't forget that you've done that and then try to plug those not rechargeable alkali batteries into the battery chargers or the battery nest that these things, they know the charging and these things come with. Because that would be embarrassing. You know, bleed all over everything. You don't need to make a mess. But Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We need to be thinking ahead on this. Take a look at the Cobra radios. If you've been looking at those and or you may already have bought them and assumed that well they're out of the box. Everything's in them and you just plug them in. They're ready to go. They're probably just regular double A's. Maybe inside that second box, but we'll find out. So if you are thinking ahead you might want to consider something other than the cobras for that reason if they don't take, if they take a proprietary battery. The Baofjangs, everybody's used to biting a bullet on that. And I would point out that if you go to eBay right now, there are some really good deals on spare batteries for pretty much all of the Baofjangs in bulk. Now, again, a lot of you guys have 20, 30, 40 of these radios. service with a platoon or more if you have a company strength unit. So I recommend that you pick up spare batteries now. You're not gonna get any more from China Sport if the war kicks in. Just call there is to it. They're not gonna be sending us anything. No Tiki, no Washi, no Kashi, no toys. So make a point of that being a priority. More important than anything, if at all possible, any radio, any of the handheld radios that you have, go through their available either marketable from the company, parent company, or an aftermarket solution for an add-on battery pack or a supplemental battery pack. The company was making them for some of the Balfjangs. It bulks out the back of the radio a little bit because obviously the batteries are bigger whereas the more sophisticated newer batteries that are being used are thinner. They take up less space. They're specifically engineered to accommodate a slim line look. But I'm not interested in that. I'm worried about power to my radio so I can squeaky talky, okay? And for that reason, all of you need to be looking at these solutions. Now, another thing, as long as I'm thinking about this, there's things in the lumber yard here. Do not throw out any of those old battery packs. Do not throw out any of those old battery packs. There are two reasons. Number one, especially with the lithium ion batteries, the lithium ion batteries can go to discharge and they literally lock out. If what happens is when you put them back into the dock for charging, they don't acknowledge that there is a battery there to power up because there's no power in the little battery pack to create the handshake with a little microcircuit that's there. So a little trick is you do a little jumper from one of your other batteries that you know is working. It's fully charged. You want to take a few pieces, two pieces of wire, jump, you know, positive to positive, negative to negative. Let it sit there to, you know, make sure they make good contact for a bit. Let, uh, take and pull wires away. You should be able to take that battery, turn around, set it back into the radio, put it back in the charger dock. It will blinky blinky start to charge. This is the disadvantage and also it's a great advantage for the companies because you'll assume the batteries are dead, that they're just not chargeable. The fact is that if you run them to full, you know, run out full capacity, it will create a neutral reading with regard to the charging system. So it's something to take into consideration there. Now, the other thing about not throwing the batteries away, if let's say the battery was finally dead, That battery casing has the connectors I need so that I can, it might not look pretty, but I can take one of the several battery trays that I have here that are the different size, the two, the three, the four, double A, and I can hook them up because I can take the battery, open up the back, take out the lithium, whatever you got, lithium ion, whatever it is. And reconfigure that with a couple of leads and I can run power with a madeable or comparable power supply of some kind and get that radio to work as a handheld portable without a wire, without an extension cord. If I have to, I can't do anything else, that is the other solution. You take a wall wart that's proper output and you solder it to the old battery pack that's dead. And you'd be able to actually plug it into a power supply example. Here's a cheat. Every one of my vehicles I have an inverter. Do I use the inverter all the time? No, but I keep it on standby for a reason. Now this is goofy, but it works. Do you remember your wall warts are producing DC power? The inverter is producing AC. So, what I do is you plug in the inverter, you then take the wall work, plug that into the inverter, it steps everything back down to DC, and would provide power so that you could at least use the thing in a vehicle or whatever. You know, a vehicle is an emergency radio, is a base radio. So, again, improvising, adapting, and overcoming. Do I really want to do it that way? Well, the radio probably won't take 12 volts. Now, there are variable output adapters that allow you to slide up and down the power output scale from as little as, what is it, 1.5 volts all the way up to 16 volts. They're like the old wall warts that were designed to be universal, but it plugs into the cigarette lighter fixture. It has a variable control and it provides varying power at the other end with whatever plugs you have to whatever appliance you're trying to use. That same fixture could be used and adapted to keeping your bao fiang or at least one bao fiang operating if you had a limited number of batteries and they're dying out. You leave one as a vehicle operated radio and operate the other as a handheld for mobility. You still have two way communications. So there are a number of different ways you could continue to keep breathing life into some of the equipment. But the most important thing is all of the original components hang on to them. And again, this includes the batteries. I don't have to reinvent the wheel because I don't want to have to solder to the radio itself because I might find more batteries that fit the radio. What I want to do is take the battery pack, gut it. with all the connectors where they need to be and then I can mutilate so to speak I can alter that battery pack rather than the radio that way when oh look Bob found a whole case of Bao Jing you know Tao Xi and I'm not gonna manufactured brain batteries and they're just right for my equipment I can go back to normal for a little while And don't forget, they're rechargeable. Also, if it is almost on its last leg for demolitions, you don't need much power to do a blasting cap, to activate a blasting cap. So tired batteries even never get thrown away because their last gasp is when they go boom with something else that you've got set up down the road. Everybody understand? He stepped on that and it went, boom. Yeah, worked out pretty good. All I had to do is make a couple of new copper plates attached. Go ahead. You can always check to see if your little micro fine wire that you're using as your ignition source will work with that battery before you attach it. Exactly. Again, the biggest issue here is to remind everybody, I have to remember that there are a number of different solutions for the same problem usually available out of the box. And with radio communications, we can be, you know, it doesn't have to be that sophisticated. It won't look pretty. In other words, it can be crude and rude, but it will get, but it will, not just can. It will get the job done. And I think that's the most important aspect here is if we're going to continue to operate or if we need to create deception technology, we're going to create the illusion we're doing something. Punkajunk equipment that we can slap together, leave behind and not cry about when we see from a distance. Boom. Yep, they knew where it was. And while they're busy wasting aircraft, artillery or whatever on a target that is irrelevant, you're using all of your deception technology to get out of Dodge and to get out of the way of the problem. Always remember that. Wait, let's see, we're 15 minutes still. Let's see real quick here. Hold on, I got a message that's come in. Okay, well, okay, yes, there's a before about gang there were the Jing tongs I don't I'm not joking about that one. I know I joke about Chinese no nameings for things. So you grab a handful of silverware out of the drawer in the kitchen, drop it in the ground, that'll give you a company name for at least half a dozen Chinese companies. But in this case, Jingtongs are actual radios, and one of the persons asking, did they make for the Jingtongs handheld Microphones, yes, they do, I have them. I don't know if they're still making them. I don't know that Jingtong is passe. I think what they did, like what a lot of the Chinese products is that they've made new company names. Well, they never throw anything away. China does not, they're not wasteful like America. If a product is available, or if the molds and the design is available, somebody will build it, will continue to build it. Now, the Jingtongs basically are a mid-grade BaoFing for all practical purposes, but they did make a wide spectrum of radios at one time. I think there were three basic. One was their top end. Typically, the typical of the BaoFing VHF, UHF radios we're presently seeing. The low end was a basic FR-S type radio, but better built than most. I will say that. The Jingtong radios were very girthy. They really were trying to take the security and law enforcement market. And because of that, they made them to, I think they actually did try to spec them comparable to, say, Motorola radio. So they were pretty good products if they were out there. If you have them, there's no reason to get rid of them except, yes, they do have a proprietary battery. So you are going to be looking for replacements and again don't get rid of them because those I'm sure that the Jingtongs are double AAA rechargeable batteries in the disguise in a mobility case but that was the norm for the industry okay so if you got them I would be searching out the industrial surplus companies there's a bunch of them out there that are on the internet that two leftovers of and that would be the first place I'd look for batteries. Because several companies have a wide range of the what we would call bastard batteries still in the inventory and that's where you got to look to find them. So the cost on them will be less than what you probably paid for the originals or for the ones that you have. The other thing here is that I have not compared notes, but I would assume, I've got to be careful how that works to assume, we know what that means, but it is consistent that usually again if the fixture that plugs into the radio, it's probably still being produced. There are about nine different handheld plug combinations, mono and dual and or brace bar type. I think I've got examples of everyone now and they have been around for quite some time. So they're really, they're still out there. If you couldn't find a Jing Tong hand mic, You'll probably find it in the inventory. Could be now under a Kenwood name, could be under Bao Fiang. There's a couple of the newer names out there. Notice I keep saying names and not companies, because I don't think there really are new companies. I think they're just, yeah, those guys decided maybe they got too much trouble with what they did before, so they switched to another name and who will know? They figure Americans won't. Another thing about the the Jingtongs are are about the size of most of the Kenwoods and Motorola's almost all of their radio box there are sure give me the radio cases All the additional fixtures and everything work if that helps Pretty much you can find what you need. They're not really a unique a Really odd man out design for the radio itself So they are very, very user friendly for parts, pieces and assemblies. If you're trying to put another, you know, if you're trying to put the rig back together, you got it maybe secondhand and or you break something. Breaking is not unusual, but I will say this, the Zhengtongs did not, they were not poorly made so they don't easily fall down on you. They're a decent radio. They were trying to match Motorola back in the day and they did a better job than most. Motorola's were built like brick dog houses. I've got Motorola radios that are older than I am that work better than most everything out of the box we could presently buy. And I will point out if you ever run into them, they're what they call mine radios. Probably one of the best thinking portable radios built by Motorola. It's an underdog unit. It was made literally for quarries and mines. The units are in a tan, not that gray green plastic that everybody's usually familiar with in Motorola. They were in a tan color. They look like a lunch pail, but they're not as deep. They're not as high from top to bottom. And the handle is where the antenna is stored. These radios sometimes only have any single frequency, sometimes they have two frequencies, and sometimes they have multiple frequency, but it's crystal standard. It's crystal based. You have a plug-in crystal, you can change them out, you can change all the radios out to a totally different batch of frequencies in a few minutes. You can go to gun, air gun shows, you can go to ham fest, not gun shows. And typically find crystals for a cheap, cheap, cheap price. There's guys that that's all they specialize in for both the Motorola's and the many other company radios that are out there. And in many cases your radios don't have the ability to just pull a crystal, put another one in. US military handheld radios, Korea to Vietnam, In many cases, do have plug and play alternate, subordinate crystals designed for the purpose of special area of operation or activities. So again, they're decent radio, they are, like I said, built like a brick doghouse. If I find them, I'm very, very, very excited and happy because they go well into the inventory. One of our militia units in Lansing. has a large quantity of these I picked up years ago and I assigned them to that unit because it's stuck in a bad location. It would probably be one of those first to fight units in the area of operation because it's near, you know, it's literally around Lansing. We go to battle, we know who we'll be fighting. We know who we're gonna be hunting and we all know why we're gonna be hunting them. So, yeah, that is one of those places. specific area of interest for us. Another thing here is somebody's asking about GE radios. There's GE still out there. I don't know, they just seem to drop the ball with regard to the commercial, well, not so much commercial, forgive me, the civilian market. They used to be big. They're still around. You can find all kinds of stuff at the ham fest and there's nothing wrong with any of it. You have somebody asking, well, Mark, why don't you mention GEs more? Well, they are. They're still out there and around, but they're just not the way they used to be. Take corporate takeovers, best way to describe it. That's why they had the problems that they've had. Now, whatever you do commit to, again, you know, I've harped on it, batteries, batteries, more batteries. But something else I mentioned that isn't hard to acquire usually when stuff first comes out is also spare antennas With most of the new stuff out there. They're little wiggle You've got little studs all the way up to little military. I've got a dozen of them for the new bow fangs I just picked up from one of the companies that did aftermarket. It's a military tape whip antenna They've been around for a while, but these are very reasonably priced and again If you can get them when the model comes out, typically that's where the promotional point is. And usually if it's attached to the new promotional radio, you get a little better deal. Spare antennas are a very, very high priority because you are going to either beat them to death or they're going to fall apart on you. And then fall apart and you could you beat them to death but also as you probably have noticed they're made out of punkajunk plastic, the little nubby ones especially just fall apart all on their own nowadays. You just fall apart. So with that being the case, we need to be prepared to, you know, automatically replace as a matter of policy. Don't throw away the old ones. There's all kinds of tricks. I know Uncle Mark always does the same thing. Mark, you never throw anything out. Yeah, because I've always seen the situation arise where all of a sudden you have nothing. And everybody assumed that, well, next year there's gonna be more. And you know what happens? That favorite piece of equipment you've been running won't function at all because there's no spare parts. This happens with American automobiles right now. Do you think radios are even more susceptible to this? So any of the accoutrements where you know you're gonna be beating up handheld mics, throat mics, headsets, If you're gonna be putting a tactical rig together, these are items you need spares of and you need to be carrying one of at least in a prepared kit for your RO whoever is gonna be, whoever's gonna be working at her if you're gonna make up a pass-off kit. Now, I know radio is so common now that everybody can have one, but I don't want everybody to have one necessarily. We want to minimize our footprint electronically. This is going to be something people will learn in bitter lessons of attrition. So we want to minimize our exposure. And that means that contrary to the movies where everybody's got to have a radio, no, that isn't always useful. In fact, it's more clunk of junk stuff that will be getting in the way under certain conditions. I know that. But I'll still have two please. Oh yes, got to have two. Got to be able to talk to each other. Let's not forget that. I mean, doesn't help. I got one and I can talk to myself and I feel really good. I look like I'm in a movie. But it serves no purpose, sir. Yes, yes, I know. But it makes me feel good. So again, prayer, proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Make sure your spares and accoutrements are in place. understand how to use your equipment, yes, read the manual. I know that the manual has five languages. You know what I do nowadays? I take the other languages, unless they're on that Chinese toilet paper that they make the manuals out of, and you got to watch that. Even highlighter will bleed everything. But most all your manuals have five, seven, or ten languages. I usually highlight out the enemy languages and focus on what makes sense for me and that way it's a little easier to subdivide mentally when you're in the process of trying to figure out what does what. Go through, adjust the manual. There you go. Or make a photocopy. Go ahead. While we're on the subject of manuals, for those who do have the Balfangs, I did buy the giant manual for these things, the Gorillaz Guide to the Balfang Radio. There we go. NC Scout is the person who is a former member of one of the US Army's Special Reconnaissance Units. I got mine on Amazon. Go out and look, find out wherever you want to get it. A Gorillaz guide to the bow-frame radio. It's worth spending the money and having a physical copy of your own, not on a computer. Get a physical copy. You can always scan it. computer put it on memory stick or disk whatever you want to have another one of them down the road you might want to make one we take a break we're at the top here first hour a figure walked in through the mist with a flip clock in his hand his clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep. but men of God in jail harass 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 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 will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, of the land of the free? The drums! I hear the drums. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second 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. Southeast, West, Southwest, and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. We'll see how all our emergency radio operators out there, no matter what body of water you're on. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Tuesday, Communications Tuesday. It is the 9th of April. It is The 16th year open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2024 old earth calendar 2024 battle for the Republic The dance of the swords let the dance continue We're gonna make sure the ones playing the tune and the bad guys. Well, they're gonna lose a lot of work to get that done Communications what we've been talking about Again, for each of your respective areas, variance and communication is a good thing. We all have the ability to get on the same page with regard to our ability to talk and talk. But having independent or separate technologies is not a bad thing. I don't need to talk to you most of the time. My radio does not have to talk to somebody halfway across the state. military communications. People always wonder, why don't the military radios, everybody assumes, I see these radios and then you hear the guys listening to people halfway across the globe in Vietnam and this and that and the other and during the war you see that we were soldiers, yes, with the right equipment, yes, you can to a degree, the hop, skip, jump, as we say. But For the most part, you don't want to be able to squawk 40, 50 miles away to try and talk to your squad leader. He's not 40 or 50 miles away. And part of the reason for this is something I mentioned during the last hour, which is your footprint. People are hunting you, you are hunting them. Because of this, we need to ensure that we minimize our signature as part of, well, the bouquet of operational security policies. We have noise discipline, okay, chunk, chunk, chunk, gurgle, gurgle, gurgle, clink, clink, clink, all the stuff that you tick, clink, clink, then move around in the field. light security which has to do with, well I need to see something and so that blaring white flashlight is turned on and it's a shoot my ass I'm here signal. Okay now in addition to that radio frequency technology of all kinds radio communications we have the exact same problem only worse why? Well it is the 21st century but even in the 20th century we'd already built pretty much everything we needed to hunt, seek, and draw fire, put fire upon a target that we can identify as an electronic signature that we consider to be hostile. The US military has been doing this for a very long time. Do you think that that's changed? Well, it's gotten worse in many ways because a lot more doodads have been added. And I will point out, well, an accentuation of this in terms of something that really sounds weird. But in the older Don Betcher when he was up in there, we talked about this, people would expect certain things from night vision. When you turn it on, you hear that, as the power, as the unit powers up, that little hyper, hyper sonic squeal, and it was so subtle. But guys at night, sound travels for a tremendous distance. And amazingly enough, that little whine could be heard up to a couple hundred yards away. That sounds strange, but it's not if you've ever been in the field, and especially if you've ever spent a lot of time at night in the woods. Again, the sound travels farther. But it's also true that with regard to monitoring technology, the same idea applies in that every piece of modern electronic equipment that we have is generating other harmonic frequencies. Now if one person did this, if you're out by yourself in the woods and you have an electronic, let's say an LED powered light, which by the way nowadays we got the Fleischermann Blindemlites, which you're really kind of a dead giveaway. It's not going to be hard to figure out where you are with those, right? But not only that, that particular device, many of them are actually to the point where they're maser. They're actually on the edge of maser, M-A, maser technology. These big flat plate LEDs, they're not anything new. They're actually about 60 years old. They actually generate a lot of heat that can be physically felt at greater distances that you might have, you mentioned most people are surprised. Well, that's because you're working into a very different technology than you might assume you're using. In addition to that, your night vision or your thermal device has a series of microcircuits on board that literally are creating other frequencies. Now, this fuzz, if it's one person, it still stands out. If there's nobody else out there, you got a frequency counter. But when you have 10 people together, what kind of signal do you think that generates as a pimple moving through the environment? As a bubble moving through the environment. Now imagine this, what if you have 100 people and everybody's got the same technology on their weapon? Oh, by the way, don't forget, I got my speedy half helmet that I'm wearing with a set of earmuffs, because everybody's got to have a radio. And I've got a mic, and I've got a booster unit, I've got an amplifier, I've got a radio. I've got all kinds of fun stuff built into that little square box that I'm wearing to communicate with everybody. So there's yet another bit of fuzz. After a while, Your frequency counter, especially with a cluster of 40, that's a platoon, or 120 to 160 men, there's a company with a weapons section, and weeeeew! Even if you try to play Secret Squirrel, with that much electrical junk moving through an area, it creates a hell of a blister or a bubble that can be quickly identified. Now, for government, if they're tracking with AWACS and all the other technology from above, and don't forget that half this technology has intentional transponder on board, so that they can track. In fact, the US forces are wearing and carrying a number of different shoot, no shoot tags, electronic and or optical so that they can be seen. One of the most common now is and something you always want to be watching for, we have thousands of all the different colors of infrared LEDs. And we also have all the colors in LEDs, standard LEDs. I make little blinkies up. Ever see a blinky? Remember we talked about this? You haven't talked, well forgive me, we haven't talked about this in a while. For a little bit it was popular for kids to buy battery pack, battery trays from Dollar Tree. And then you get the cheapest LEDs, blinker LEDs. You can get them in any color you want. And then you get these little cheapie earth magnets for pennies from communist China. Well, you glue them all together and basically what you end up with is what's called a blinky. And people were tagging, putting these on buses, putting them on people's vehicles. It was a big fad about, what, eight years ago, nine years ago? But what's interesting is that blinky idea is exactly what the military used for aerial identification with air support looking down from above utilizing originally, although not originally, but they've gone back and forth. They have used infrared LED blinkies, which are the norm right now, which means they're a great shoot my ass I'm here target. But the other thing that was used, going back through, for instance, Desert Dust Part 1, the adventure begins, was Psyloom infrared markers. No, not Psyloom, reds, blues, greens. Psyloom infrared markers. I think the ones I have are collector's items because they're from the inventory from Desert Dust Part 1, the adventure begins, and I can document the batch. And now, those are collectors items. Those are things that go into military collections. Oh man, dude, if you know what's going on, man, you had these in Desert Storm. We used these, everybody had them on their helmets, and they put them on the vehicles. And that way from above, when the aircraft, when our support aircraft were coming through, they'd know that was us, and whoever didn't have them was them. You do understand how that works, shoot, no shoot, right? However, again, that's another electronic device. I don't have to see you. See, this is the part nobody thinks about. The solution to hunt this problem is much cheaper than all the doodads and gobbledygook that they've attached to their equipment. Now, yeah, someone's really interesting and cool. But it's utterly defeated if you turn night into day. Have you ever thought about that? I mean, the thermal is still applicable, but most all the equipment, if you get into what you want to be a point of contact, predetermined point of engagement, okay, a flare up, then you create a situation that from oblique lighting, reflective lighting from above using cloud cover and all the other fun things that you can throw into an area. Carrying all of the additional burdensome night vision and the rest of the crap that goes along with it is useless and in fact impedes you in a situation where it's unnecessary. If you and again, what do you do when you're done? Well, you're going to be dropping while you're dumping flare, you're using throw away illumination as in electronic illumination. You could even use LEDs like we're talking about only in saturating the area so that when you move into the kill zone or a kill designated area produced, It's cast away, you're never gonna come back for it, you don't care what happens to it. But what you do is you negate the value and especially if you're in a rural, not a rural, but if you're in a agricultural or in a forested area or an area with cover, all this crap that's on the rigs right now, if you're in the desert, that's fine. But if you're in a regular temperate environment, it is a bunch of snag crap that just constantly hooks on stuff. Now, on top of that, you're wearing all this extra garbage, especially with regard to your helmet, and it is totally an app. It has no application because there's no need for it. Now granted, yeah, you can flip it up, but you have all this extra trash that's burdened. That is a burden, no matter what anybody says. The important thing is to know how to be able to take advantage, use the initiative, make contact, and then violently break contact. especially in the two categories of unconventional and para-conventional. Though it's still true even in conventional, the same basic rules apply. You just got more work, more material to work with when the time comes. So heads up, again, this is where emulating what somebody else is doing, especially if they have a sugar daddy like government that will spend money hand over fist for coffee grinders and rifle stocks, that's a reference to the Civil War. Although again, the Government didn't buy those, usually the soldiers did. Yeah, a coffee grinder built into a buttstock. Well, it seems to me a smart idea at the time. Well, it was quite convenient. Anyway, but it didn't exactly serve to get the job done with regard to the fight. It just created another, it was another unique widget that somebody had come up with. So with regard to all of that other electronics, if you are using it, let's remind everybody again, We're going to have to start slick siding a lot of this stuff. Right now, nobody's thinking about that. And a lot of it, you have snag and tag junk all over the place. So here's a little trick that would help to reduce that are, again, either polymer sleeves, which totally muffs up the aesthetics of the really cool Picatinny rail multi-lock, cam lock, wink lock, wink lock, take your pick. But which allows for a lot of equipment to have loops, hooks, cables, connectors, which needless to say a lot of people will duct tape them down or you're going to friction tape them down. But slick siding everything kind of like conduit wrap is probably going to be a pretty good solution. Now you can do this as a camouflage cover. We aren't doing it right now, not many are. We do this with certain pieces of equipment, but it's because we're adding some technology that we don't talk much about right now. And the idea behind this is to create a using the Cordura or the heavier gauge nylon that you can get for building web gear, for building pouches. We've talked about several different companies that sell camouflage. You can make a sleeve using Velcro to cover everything to create a slick side surface so that it eradicates all these hook points. It's something that you need to think about, especially if you have a lot of electronics and you're putting it on vehicles even. And remember, you're going down the back trail, you're going down a two track, you're in a wooded area, you've got bramble, you've got Russian sage, you've got all kinds of junk that's clinging and snag and even has thorns, which is hooky stuff. And guys, when we've been in the field, this is something that I pointed out. When you first do it once, it's annoying, but it's, oh, well, I'll brush it off. Third time it's annoying and I'm paying attention. I'm noticing this is not good. 5th, 6th, 7th, 10th time, you're starting to get really agitated because this is repeating itself and it becomes a distraction. Distractions get you killed. When you're busy being distracted by something that could be corrected if you think it through, it means that you'll not be paying attention to that click under your foot, that wire you walked into. Or maybe that snag thing you hooked was actually the thing that's gonna go boom. Oh, that was embarrassing. Where does legs go? Oh, well, okay. He's screaming. Yeah, we know what to do about this. And Doc, you hold stay wherever you are. We don't know where the rest of them are, do we? Yeah, grab his legs. Yeah, okay, whatever. So again, this is why thinking ahead on some of the technology. I'm talking about like some of you have, you know, for instance, we have towers. We have like M1514 much. You have that antenna tower in the back. You know, it's rigid, it's actually forged pieces of aluminum. Some are forged pieces of steel, depending on the year. That particular trunk has a lot of extra cables running with some of the technology that we've added. The solution is you don't duct tape it because you still have all these loose wires. And if you're going down any trails, you can do this on four-wheelers the same way. with certain pieces of deception equipment. You take a wrap around like we're talking about. Now this keeps everything secure, creates a slick surface, so nothing's going to hook or snag to it. And even when you build something like this, you have to take into consideration that when you mount it, you don't want it so that it's open, it's flat and is forward towards your point of motion. Why? Well because if something hooks that, rips it, tears it, whatever. Remember you're creating slick surfaces. Kind of like what we talked about with, if you take a look at the M16 everybody goes, well that's old school. No, it's smart school. The M16 was a slick side, it was the equivalent to a pocket pistol. I had this conversation today. Pocket pistols were called pocket pistols because they were typically hammerless or they had a rounded hammer. All their body components are smooth, are minimized, and the idea behind it is in your pocket. It doesn't snag. You typically had a holster you slipped in. So, a slick side cover with this, the idea is that, you know, like with the M16, is all the parts on it were designed so going through what is triple canopy rainforest or just temperate forest, there are a minimal number of points that can make contact. This is why everything had a rounded edge to it. Now, everybody goes, well, I got a new one, just got right angle of this, right angle of that, that's cool. And again, based upon the idea we were a police state. operation in Iraq after we invaded. So really what difference it make where we're doing occupation work. Yes, go with it. We're conventional fighting as it broke out, but you're police forces. Whereas, and again, you're in the desert. You have a limited amount of obstruction that's gonna cause problems and half the time it's sand or at least flats, open space. Now we're talking about fighting in a temperate environment. Most everything the lessons we already learned and already applied have all been thrown out the window and will have to be relearned Whoever does that first wins tactically Whoever catches on to what I'm talking about wins Because this is all part of the one problem you have with military militia forces anybody I don't care who it is is is tedious fatigue One little tick is not a big deal, but a thousand tick bites will just drive you insane. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Oh, this is becoming obnoxious. I will point out that if you know the actual history of the Pickle Fork, everybody always loves putting the Vietnam era of Pickle Fork flash hider on the M16s. Well, they did have those in the beginning. Why did they get rid of them? They actually listened to the troops because they said hey, it's a great idea It's supposed to be a wire cutter where they did tell some people what it was for But they decided that you know what I'm going through the woods and everything it snags on everything I've got my barrel forward why cuz my enemies in front of me so I might barrel kept snagging on crap So what did they do they crazed up they created a closed basket flash hider that one simple solution alleviated a lot of heartburn and annoyance for the troops. And it was the troops that had that idea. It didn't come from the engineers back home, came from the guys out in the field said, yeah, okay, it works, but we got this problem, this problem, and this problem. And they said, okay, well, let's go from the M16E1 to the M16A1, because now we're past the experimental model, that's what the E stood for. And now we're gonna be making this production model, and the rest is history. Few little tweaks in there, but not much, for the rest of that war anyway. So, again, you give me an M16A1, I'll be happy with it. Yeah, I know, I'm an old fart anyway. But it's just the idea I understand and appreciate if I'm gonna be running through the jungle. Well, guess what? I don't wanna be tagged and snagged by something, and I'm rubbing it in. Now, as a matter of fact, we're at the bottom of the hour, so you know what? We played this the other day, but we're gonna play it again. I know I asked for the other CCR song. If you're there, CCR run through the jungle. And if you're going to run through the jungle, you got to make sure that whatever you do don't get dragged off to the side or hit by a clinger vine because you want to get away from those 200 million guns are yeah, pointed Satan cries, Satan, you got to take aim. Forgive me about that. And you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org. And it is Communications Tuesday. For everybody also, somebody's asking, well, where's the, okay, here we go, let's do this. CCR. I'd run if I were you. I'd run hard. Liberty Tree Radio, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and run through the jungle. And to do that, you want to make sure that everything you got is kind of pinned down, a little better secured, and no snagging tag. Now, a couple things. Remember all you RO's, if you were using, I used the AN-PRC-89 and 10. There's no difference between those three radios except for frequency jump. One was for company, one typically was used for battalion, and the other could go to regiment, or it could go to division depending upon how the radios were configured. Well, I deployed the radios, but they were just three different examples of the same basic rig. If you knew one, you knew them all. The MPRC-25 and the MPRC-77, one is just an upgrade of the other. We're a more solid state. Both radios had a lot of features, everything from the bubble butt encoding pads and an encoder slash a code decode system. It's an encoder system. There was an add-on, but there were a lot more sophisticated pieces of equipment. You even had long-range expansion modules that could be added. There was a lot of stuff that was done. Not everybody got a chance to use it, but it was available. And as the war peeled out, the war ended, and peacetime came about. That equipment piled up and was readily accessible if you were willing to check it out and actually use it. And it was applied still. After the war, after Vietnam, it was applied extensively. The keypads, there are a number of different types of keypads, yep, for being able to punch in a signal and you would call it emailing nowadays. Packet radio, but the military had that in portable configuration. With newer radios, it was built in. You still had to have a keypad, but it was built in. I had one that was actually with the kit that I had that was issued, had one that strap to your left leg, that was most convenient. But it was a couple of buckler velcro straps, depending on what year. And literally it had a bubble weatherized protector. It was about one third the size of the keypad you're probably using if you're at your computer right now. And it had a number of other features on the pad with regard to commands that we do not have on any of these keyboards, but it was, again, designed to be a significant step forward, and it was. The pads, unfortunately, were made of a malleable see-through, kind of milky, or brown slash golden plastic. You've seen them, or you might remember, years ago. It didn't take long to wear through them if you were an avid operator. And so you kept trading them out so they could take them back and rebuild them with the battalion radio maintenance section. That was a very common problem. And in addition to that, remember your jungle. Oh, that's right. Just like we're talking about how you slick side the rifle. Don't forget you had your jungle whip antennas and folder down boy half it, you know, fold it in half, bring her back down out of the way. Usually, you tape it into place, but put a little rubber baby buggy bumper between the two points of the antenna. You don't want it touching itself. You want to be able to take advantage of the full length of the antenna. So, just like if you had the Jeeps or if you had any of the whip antennas on any of your vehicles, like on the Ford Muts, any of the Jeeps, didn't make it as one of those, or three-quarter ton weapons carriers. The antennas were mounted to the rear, so you bring them forward, use a bungee cord to lock them in place, and then on top of that, break out Mr. Tennis Ball, poke a hole in it, shove that tennis ball on the end of that antenna, and duct tape that into place with some tactical colored tape. and that prevented the tip from being busted up which once that fibrous material would break down, mostly fiberglass, what would happen it would start to fray and disintegrate and your signal would of course go with it. This also prevented grounding. Just having that stupid little tennis ball on the end of the whip antenna, the whip antenna. With the backpack unit, you did the same thing. When you roll the antenna down, little trick, you get a little piece of rubber about the size of your finger. You can scavenge that out for maintenance, one of vehicle maintenance. And you put that between the antenna and then just one loop of friction tape and that prevents the antenna from dropping it, dropping the signal and shortening all of your ability to broadcast. So, a bunch of little stupid tricks you remember automatically because you also have to change those antennas out. You beat the snout out of them after a while, you have to replace them. Again, spares. What did I say earlier? Spares for the antennas, always. And don't forget, with all those military radios, yes, you did have the ability to string a wire, and yes, you could increase range. But typically, you want to keep range and signal minimal. You want to minimize sound on site. Guys, remember this is why military equipment, unlike your civilian stuff, has lockdowns. And I've talked about this many times. Go look at an AMP. You can do this by going online. Go look at an AMP RC 77. You'll notice that if you look closely at the controls, you have these dial controls, but you'll notice there are wing nuts on the controls. Why are those wing nuts there? Anybody? You know why the wing nuts? They were actually a stamped wing nut. They weren't a... It depended on the year. But they were typically to lighten everything up. They tried to minimize. So they're a stamped wing nut that actually goes on your dial-up controls for frequency squelch and any other components of the radio. It's number one, so that you're not talking to dead space. There'd be guys talking while they're dying who didn't realize that they had altered their controls, their busy, you know, screw with the radio thinking something's wrong. In their panic, in doing that, they did make something wrong. And they're talking to dead airspace right up until they take their last bullet. But for this reason, because boo-boos happen, the idea is that once you've locked into your frequency that's designating your primary, which you also have to have a secondary, a tri backup, and a quad backup if you don't, you're stupid. By the way, the Batfaggots at Waco were stupid. They didn't have a procedure in place. They only had a backup, one single standard backup frequency. And after that, they were talking to dead air. Because they all went to different frequencies and half of them couldn't change because they were wounded and they didn't have a clue about what was going on around them. But with the radio, the idea behind this is that you identify the frequency, you do a radio test, not standing next to each other. You actually separate a bit. You check, you confirm your radio signal response. You make sure that your squelch is locked in and minimized. You make sure that all of your individual fixtures are also secured and you tape out your illumination light even though it is green. Now the big thing about this is that again those wing nuts allowed you to torque down and lock that into place. So there's no booby mistake that can be made. You can't be going through the woods tired, brushing up against something and the dial goes wick. All it takes is something a little bit of friction because you have those little knurls on the dials and it could roll it somewhere. So this eliminates that whole problem and the possibility that in your delirium or if you're injured, you start fiddle-flitting with controls, but you can't easily alter them. You actually have to think through the process. You have to unlock control. Now, this is the sad part about the rest of the equipment you're using. That's not the case with the Balfiang. You can't do lockouts, but your little tears here's one of the thing to remember tiny little buttons Your fingers become really big when the old pucker factor is so great that you can't drive a needle up somebody's ass with a sledgehammer Those little buttons are gonna become even tinier and your thumbs are gonna be twice and your fingers are gonna be twice as big as they ever were before This is why Smaller isn't always your best choice. Okay, and again, there's a point where Tiny doesn't make it for certain things. I mean, we will make it work. I'm not telling you, whoa, just for all the radios, Mark just said about it. No, we're working with what we can off the shelf. But I'm just explaining why things are engineered the way they are. And this type of ergonomics, especially in a crisis situation where it's fight, flight, adrenaline rush, and fatigue combined with possible injury, makes for a bad formula. And this is why typically, again, you want it a little oversized or you at least want it compatible and user friendly for the operator so that fewer mistakes can be made. Now here's another thing, most of you guys are, especially the latest generation, were set up with flame retardant clothing, flame protective gloves, combat mittens, combat, not mittens, combat gloves that are armored. They bolt out the fingers. How much bigger, how much larger is your finger? Well, Mark, I'll have to take my glove off when. It's another thing you got to do that's, you know, break time on target. So this is why, again, I understand you get really good at working with safety equipment because that's really what you're wearing in the military is safety equipment. But remember that whatever you're doing, keep it simple, stupid, because of all the factors I've just described. And again, adrenaline rush, flight, flight is a big one you're going to have to deal with and you'll learn through experience. Fatigue, No matter how hard you try, that catches up with you. And injury, well, the fickle finger of aint the bullet in the wrong place up your arse or just tagging you somewhere is a hell of a distraction. And can create more confusion and problems. People will absolutely tell you when they're hurt that what you thought they did is not what they told you they were doing or what they said. They're not even speaking English. Tom, I've had people literally look at me while they're badly injured and they swear later on, Mark, I was telling you. Mark, I was telling you, okay? And it's like, yes, I'm sure you were. But whatever you were saying, the Ferengi might understand it, the Klingons understood it. But Mark and the crew here had no idea what you were talking about, okay? Now if it's that bad, you're probably not gonna be the radio operator for very long anyway, are you? Okay, but go ahead. I was gonna kind of change subjects here. Oh, go ahead. Security guy 42 on YouTube security guy 42 security guy 42 on YouTube about six days ago posted a video on the Special Forces Engineer Sergeant Manual. This is the manual that Special Forces uses for engineer task. It's going to be STP 31-18C, as in Charlie, 34-SM-PG. Now he actually has a real copy of what's issued from the Army. an older manual I'm assuming from the 90s or whatever late 90s or whatever but he brought up a good point that there is copies of this the reprints and it's a camouflage multi-cam color it'll say July 2003 whatever is being sold on Amazon and I guess it has a lot of the same stuff but he said he went through it page by page he found a couple of examples one was the Russian anti-tank mine, that's the wooden box mine that they can be hand built and stuff and he said in the reprint version, it said to place the fuse in place and then push the activator board down and don't put the transport block back in place. Just push that down, which would actually set off the mine in your face. Also, he said another example was one of the bouncing Betty mines setting up for tripwire use and running the tripwire to the mine and connecting that wire to the mine itself once you have emplaced it. And they said instead of connecting it to the pin, it tells you to remove the pull the pin out to connect it, which would detonate the mine. So just be cautious of these reprints unless you can find an actual real copy at a gun show. But the reprints that are on Amazon, I mean, obviously some of the information is fine, but certain skills like that in placing mines or whatever that there could be some extra added steps that don't need to be added or remove steps that will get you killed on purpose. Like I said, he just posted this video a week ago. It's just called Special Forces Engineer Sergeant Manual. And that was on SecurityGuy42 on YouTube. He also has a BitShoot channel under SecurityGuy42 in case this channel ever disappears. He's also posted some other videos recently, the VietCom, MOTMI, Soviet PM57, and I think Mine Mine. German DM-31 Magnetic Anti-Tank Landmine. Also, he posted some training films that were from the Vietnam era covering special forces in Vietnam training the mountain yards. He even got one called the Big Picture, Gorilla USA, which it was a exercise of special forces. parachuted into a I think it was in Tennessee back in the 60s and they filmed it and it was a mock training drill where they Talked to local citizens. Of course all citizens do and they have their own choice of being a good guy or big bad guy or whatever they decide to be and Of course, it's all I need was so you can understand it, but it's pretty interesting film like that. He's got several Vietnam documentary kind of documentary there about 30 minutes long on most yeah, they're about 30 minutes long mark on different stuff, you know, and you can glean some stuff from that about covering about the Vietnam War with the special forces, you know, the training among yards and training of a force basically that does has no skill with basically the mountain yards were the the Indigenous people that lived in the mountains that were basically their poor, you know, didn't really wear clothing, didn't have any military skill, and they were able to train the people within like less than a few weeks and get them a combat fighting force to protect their villages from the VC and MVA and stuff and actually fight back and be even better than they were at some things because they lived there and knew their terrain and stuff just for people that didn't know that. But really good kind of interesting stuff to get the clean off of. But yeah, like I said, definitely. Watch out for that manual or any other manuals that have certain Specific information like that that could get you killed in the so go ahead mark this with tutorials manuals that were done in the 80s where it's obviously spooks and kooks intentionally produced manuals either you know how to build demolitions Etc. I'm home And some individuals actually went to the process of intentionally and very cautiously putting together what was in the books. It's been a long time since we've talked about this, but basically they were booby trap books. They were books designed to get you taken out or to create an incident because a step was left out or it was put together in such a way that, oh, there was no step left out. If you followed the instructions, it did exactly what it was supposed to do. For that reason, this is why, again, the Sten gun manuals. Guys, there's only one stun gun manual out there that actually is actually complete. And it's from the late 70s, the middle 70s actually. All the rest leave out parts. Now, understand something, the stun gun is a weapon that the British made it as absolutely minimal as they could. There isn't any real part they could leave out because it was literally he's called the joke You know was the plumber's nightmare, but it was a crude rude simple very very useful weapon However, they minimized everything so there isn't anything you want to leave out in the sten gun and yet there was information and there was misdirection in many of the different manuals that are out there that have been reprinted and reprinted and reprinted and Now, if you understand the gun, the manual is still useful because, well, most of the information is there. But you just need to observe and understand that what's missing, both in what steps and or miss cuts that they try to direct you to, can be avoided by observing the way that they're proposing you construct the device. Now, if you pay attention, you can build it properly even with the OSCU manual. But whoever did that manual knew exactly what they were doing. And the same is true with these types of activities. So yes, you're always looking for caches of original manuals, whenever you can find them. I don't care what the subject is, grab them. Here's one, SQT manuals. SQT manuals have everything available in the way of data and information on any subject that has to do with the MOS that it's covering. That includes combat engineer, that includes virtually every military occupational skill that exists. So if you see any of the SQT manuals, here's what's really cool, they're actually classroom text. They were designed to be given to you, you're actually going to be tested, you actually do this to qualify for your, the SQT test program was designed to advance confirmation of expertise in your particular MOS and to maintain the standard that was originally established when you were trained. Okay, so again they can be either OD green or as is pointed out they'll typically be, well by the way they can also be if they're the base models from the original program they're actually black and white. But later on they wrote E Green then very quickly they went to the woodland camel pattern you see for most of the later manuals post Vietnam And all of them are useful, but you want to try and find originals Reproductions it's it's fun to actually do a page by page and look to see just what is missing or just what's been altered Good, Culver, jump in there. I think it's shocking. I'll just repeat the YouTube channel, SecurityGuy42, and that manual that he was talking about was STP-31-18C34SM-TG, and it's the MOS-18C Special Forces Engineer Sergeant. And it says July 2003 has multi cam cover. And I've looked it up just to see if I could find an original copy of what he has, which is the black and white copy that you referred to marked the 80s and 90s manuals. Like I said, they are available on Amazon and eBay and stuff. So just a word of caution, watch out for those. I'm sure there's some useful information on there, but like I said, when it comes to super serious stuff like landmines and stuff, they either add an extra step or take a step out that's going to get you killed instantly. So, exactly. Lots of good points. Also, to go back here and talk about communication, Mark, a couple of YouTube channels to check out I brought up a few of them is the Hand Radio Crash Course. That's Hand Radio Crash Course. The gentleman on the air covers a whole bunch of different radio communications and radio topics even though the live stream on Saturday and does an after he does cover some topic and then after the show does an hour to hour live stream where you can actually get on their discord and chat live with the live streaming and actually ask questions and stuff even if you're new. to hand radio or radio communications to find out stuff. But he has a plethora of playlists to go through covering different hand radio subjects from HF to VHF to UHF. Also another channel is the Tech Com Prepper. That's the Tech Com C-O-M-M, it's either C-O-M or C-O-M-M Prepper. And he's covered, he's covering long distance communication using the digital modes on hand radio where you could communicate basically like a you have to have a either a laptop or a Tablet then you can communicate back and forth by text message by digital train conditions Excuse me Mark, you can text message back and forth for people that are unaware that you can actually do this through radio communication and have a chat room message set up, there's apps and stuff. And he covers his off degree of communications where he gets a laptop using some USB, they're called Gorilla sticks, is what they're called, they're about one, I think one terabyte or like 500 gigabytes or something like that, USB sticks, they're under 50 bucks. But these are supposed to be very rugged, they're rubberized. And he keeps these, once he gets this laptop or tablet, He never hooks it to the internet, de-bloats, gets rid of all the crap off there that he doesn't need, and only installs the software he needs, and then has backup Gorilla USB drives that have the stored information plus whatever, other manuals and stuff like that that usually keeps it in a fair day cage or whatever, so that this stuff is not added extra spyware. Also something new Mark that people may not know about, there's a new device called the... I just lost it. It's a device you can... if you give me a second I'll pull it up. You can hook it up to a radio and use it to set it up for keyword scanning on a radio. It will pick up the keywords that you add to it. So if it's monitoring a frequency or whatever and it picks up, you know, you set it to say, you know, listen for the word fire. And anytime that word comes up and then you set the parameters to have it record audio clips and I think it can record up to, I think a week's worth of audio, I don't know, the max, for at least several days of audio with unattended. And it can be hooked up to the internet to send emails to you. you know, if you're not at home and you leave it hooked up to the radio and it can be also be used offline still using the built-in AI or whatever to put the keyword search, you know, to listen for these keywords searches and it will save the data for you. Then it will even assign a date and time and whatever whenever that came in. Right. When you hook it up and stuff like that. It's called the boondock echo. That's boondock echo and I don't know all the extra specifics on a mark. I don't own one So this is a new device that just recently came out. I think they're under they're under $200. I think it's about 150 160 and they're still tweaking and stuff like that, but the hammering of crash course actually did a Video here this past weekend talking to the developers of this device So you can use it to monitor You can hook it up to your scanner, you can hook it to normal AM FM radio, it has multiple uses. You can plug it in the audio jack into whatever device has a, you know, used to mail audio jacks into whatever the microphone or sorry, headphone jack of the scanner and plug it into this device and it will listen for like I said, whatever you program it to. record and it will listen for those certain words and it will record audio clips for an hour long. You set it, the parameters you set it for, to record after that fact and it will record. I think if you've said it where it doesn't have nothing parked and it will record anytime. I mean, obviously you could do it with a voice recorder, but like I said, if you're only specifically looking for keywords, then it will definitely record for those keywords and keywords only. And like I said, after here's that keyword and we're going to record a minute or however long you set that time for afterwards. Go ahead Mark. Well the advantages of that would be a standoff. In other words, you don't have to be there where the bullet, you know, the bomb may drop so to speak. As we've pointed out, if you're running electronic equipment, the enemy is constantly hunting. What's interesting is you could use any particular phonetic phrase to activate the system and then for it to collect. It could then go into a hard line which could go to a secondary location, you know, to run the ground, the line underground, move it to another, you know, run it off to another receiving system, you know, take your pick of whatever you want to use for creativity. And you end up with that much more in the way of operational security, physical security to ensure that you don't end up, you know, being the target of somebody's aggressive ambitions. In other words, boom. So, that is a useful, unique feature. Also, it can be used for spying operations too, because there are key words that you might have an interest in, especially if you want to set up a passive listening device and you're trying to sip energy. In other words, you could actually have it in idle monitor mode. The moment that it picks up a key word, it would flag it. And then immediately it lights up the transmitter, does its job, and then shuts down and goes to idle again. It could have it set up with a timer circuit on board the whole nine yards. So there's a lot you could do with that particular idea. On government, I'm sure, has thought about the same thing at one time or another, and is probably using it as we speak. Go ahead, jump in there. I'll just bring that up. That was the Boondock Echo. That's the Boondock Echo, is the device. I don't have a If you just do a search online, I'm sure you'll find it. It was also on hand radio crash course. YouTube page, just this past weekend, he talked to the developers of it. So for people to get more information, just so people can check that out. I know we're at the top. So it was the boondock echo for that device. Excellent. Thank you. We are at the top for everybody out there. It's got the music. It is Tuesday. Guys, improvise and dap and overcome. Remember spare. So he said... with basically everything you need to MacGyver what it is you don't have if something gets broken. Small pieces of formable plastic. I'll tell you one that really works well are pieces of modern plastic splint. They aren't just good for legs. There's a lot of other things you need for recopperness to weather things. That's another problem we're going to have in the field. And if it does get shot, it won't take long before it fails. I'm not talking about Just let me know, yeah, I get along and go, but a nice girl's back. We're torn and dirty as he stood there, three-cornered hat, speaking low to me, 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 left rave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. 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 them. farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right. You prayed a gosh of freedom burning bright as Iowoki vanished in the midst from whence he came. His words were true. We are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? evening ladies and gentlemen this is the evening intelligence report I'm Mark Kornke I'm Larry Lassa one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and occupied territories north, northwest and south Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Libertytreeradio.org. We're also on satellite. Want to say hi to our merchant ring operators out there no matter what body of water you're on. And we're on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside the United States to include WBCQ, the planet shortwave And that's Monday through Friday, 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. And it is, it has been a perfect day outside. Larry, what's it like in your neck of the woods? What's the date today? What's jumping off the wall down there in the old west? This is the night of April 2024 AD. This is the day after the famed eclipse. They told us that there were going to be thousands of people overwhelming I went out and saw one family sitting down in the field waiting for it. It was interesting. They started spraying here about noon and I thought that was a bunch of crap. They knew people were out there going to be looking at it supposedly and they started to come trailing heavy around noon. You couldn't look up there because the chemtrails, of course, with the spray, you've seen it with the moon and the sun, it acts almost like a Fresno lens. It dissipates the light. It's a good thing they sold all the cheap solar sunglasses because it's about the only way you could look up and see what was going on. I would have sworn that they would have taken advantage of this opportunity, that everybody was supposedly looking in that direction to play with their blue beam or something, that I didn't see anything strange like that. It was a fascinating experience. Things went dark and solar lights came on a few minutes later, and solar lights went back off again. But, yeah, very eerie, still as heck. Chickens quieted down, started chilling off for a few minutes, and then they came back. Amazing, they declared the state's emergency all over the place, supposedly for thousands of people, and nothing. We had areas here where they took sticks and yellow caution tape and cordoned off areas. People put up signs saying $45, $25 for parking, nothing. Anyway, I went to Pay Lake here that had maybe a dozen people come and that's about it. That's, uh, we got the, go ahead. I was going to say, don't forget, we had the Clucks on television who flat out stated that the reason for the solar eclipse was global warming, global cooling, climate change, and it was all the white man's fault. It was all man's fault. And you shall be ashamed, you shall be apologizing, because moon cheese, it was kind of leaky. We've been talking about that during the two hour block. depending on where you were. Well, it didn't look like it was a round moon. And well, that's because the hot side was getting kind of squishy. Have you ever had pizza, you know, pizza cheese on a pizza? It doesn't stay where it's supposed to. So kind of the same thing. And after all, it was manmade, a manmade problem. Why would you expect it to be perfect? Blah, blah, blah, blah. So the definite demonstration of true stupid Came out on national television for everybody to see to understand exactly what product you get with the globalists when you have the public fool system plugged in the way that we do. You know, the idiot stick didn't have a clue, but prattled the garbage on anyway. And then to do damage control, they tried to fluff out what the female said. And we'll by creating a bunch of basically word salad confusion. for a moment or two and then kind of always just go on something else because it's really looked dumb, you know, I said, etc, etc. And again, the games continued. So as it is, we did have some interesting things. You know what? I don't know why I mentioned didn't mention this in our area here, guys, Larry, you had the we obviously had him out there, Kim spraying. They did hit, you know, the Kim Kim dispersion unit. But we had two triangles overhead. Which I thought was rather fascinating because to make the triangles they had to do a south to north flight, but they did one over the area of just at the edge of the border with Ohio at maximum altitude. You could see this from all directions. And they didn't jimmy it up with a bunch of other cross traffic, so this was not accidental. I think this was supposed to be the, well, we're all the rubes, so they could throw that stuff the air traffic controllers were told to or You know, a flight was put up there for that reason, but the one flight was a true north-south flight, and it wasn't in the normal channel that the north flight polar flights take when they pass over Michigan, because we are the designated air channel for that activity. They go right over the upper peninsula and straight over the pole. But in this case, it was obviously an aircraft that was, you know, targeted to, you know, was steered to that particular position. It did what it did and then it went on, you know, doing nothing. So I think we were supposed to go, oh my God, the ring knockers are so powerful. Look at what Cthulhu was doing. And it's like, yeah, yeah, right, whatever. Yum. Did it make those two triangles into a star, David? No, they were, one was at about, if you were looking straight up, one would be to your left at about 10 o'clock. The other one towards the middle of the state, and this series was very big, it was very apparent. And they didn't run any other air traffic through them, even though we had a lot of other air traffic in the sky. And all of them were leaving a nice centrist trail every step of the way as they passed over the area. But it is interesting that even after these things started to disperse a little bit, they didn't have any other air traffic pass through them to obliterate. or obscure them. So just interesting. Didn't bother me. Like I said, well, whatever they're spraying, they're going to keep spraying. So nothing changed there. Right? The only thing is they made a pretty little couple of patterns, obviously to try and terrorize us because we're supposed to be covering in fear that they're a great power of being able to hit the magic wishy wishy switch on their airplanes, which have been around for as long as I've been alive. But something that is a tell, everybody knows, a scene, and there's nothing that would surprise us about them. Hey, that's stupid. So anyway, the adventure continues there. We'll see. We are not going to get out of this without a fight. The bad guys, of course, are doing everything they can to gut the country the rest of the way. Not really working as well as they'd like. It's a race. to stay ahead of everybody that's become awake to the problem, to the threat. And that in and of itself is rather fascinating because again, guys, there's anybody you aren't gonna run into that doesn't know something's going on. They may not understand completely what's going on, but that really doesn't make any difference. Remember, we're gonna use macro motion, macro movement. We wanna just keep pushing everybody towards our common goal. They don't have to be completely on online with everything right away. They'll catch up. But the most important thing is everybody needs to be prepared to fight and deal with what it is they're going to try and pull because they are going to plug in a big police state event. There's no doubt about that. On our side, not going to panic about it. Just got to make sure we know what we need to do to deal with it and put it down when the time comes. And most important is we will act and we will act very specifically not react. We will. When the time comes and that needs to be your attitude across the board because our goals victory We're not just you know, we're not just playing at this. They're not either. It's a very serious game It's an adult game and it's the ultimate battlefield and it's for our freedom and liberty So we got to definitely pay the price. We're gonna have to make it happen Now real quick Larry we worked on the garden today And needless to say, there's always a little bit more to do. And again, what were you doing to play catch-up? Because I know you're pretty good at being an avid gardener in earnest. So what are we doing this time of year that you're working on? Well, last year I grew a lot of my stuff from seed. This year I was kind of neglectful there. I had some other stuff going on. I did not do that, so I did go out to a nursery a week or so ago and got plants, trays and trays of plants, young peppers and tomatoes just in case something was going to go screw with the eclipse. So I've got a pretty good garden set there. I've got my seeds. Went out today and picked up some compost and some peat moss. formula for potatoes. I've never really been good at potatoes. If you've done that and you've got some tips, let me know. I've heard people say just till it up and put it in the ground, put it in rows. Other people say the peat moss and the compost. I don't know. I've never done real well with potatoes. Tomatoes and peppers I've done real well on. I do eggplant and corn and peas and beans. I try to make the whole place pretty and then just to keep me happy I got weird and added a whole bunch of solar lights so it's as pretty at night as it is in the daytime. I'm not kidding you either. I put a lot into solar lights, lots of color, fountains. Amazon's got a fountain now that's got like 70 or 80 LED multi-color lights on it and they actually turn the thing into a show. It's a round disc shaped solar light about 9 inches across and it literally goes through a show. I'm really impressed with it for 40 bucks. Hardly anybody sees it out here. My girlfriend and a few friends, some delivery people maybe. I did it for me and it kind of keeps me going. I tell you, most of the food I turn around and tuck to a lot of the food banks, I'll can some and use some, give some away. I mean, I spend hundreds of dollars on these gardens every year and try and make it into something I'm happy with. And I do that every year. Right now, again, we're still cool enough. You are able to get spinach in. It's a little later than we've... Well, actually, weather's been a lot more stable. Decent in general. We have had medium rain here, but the big thing is trying to get the... root vegetables going as quickly as we can. Now with your potatoes, something that I'd recommend trying if you haven't tried it before, and for all of our listeners, I'd say the same thing, because it's a minimal maintenance project, is the elevated bed concept where you, or a tower. You can use junk planking or board from, for instance, pallets, and make up a box with, and you don't want it perfectly sealed. You actually want it so that it has a number of permeation or crack, you know, whole areas, access points for expansion and for growth. But I've done those three feet tall and actually without doing anything other than putting the wood in the ground or putting the wood on the ground filling up the dirt, doing the potatoes by layers. have actually ended up with zero maintenance or time spent production, pretty decent production in general with that. And it's good that you brought that up because that is something we need to be thinking about is wherever we can is minimalist in terms of time consumed because we'll have enough other tasks to keep us busy. And traditionally farming mostly was developed that way for obvious reasons. Earth will take care of itself. Now, if you enhance the situation, enhance the environment, Needless to say, you're going to end up with that much better a product, but also time spent on other things. So you have other product that you can harvest. Farmers were always multitaskers right from the beginning as far as back to the depths of time. Whenever possible, you're always trying to find other resources that you can pull based upon developing skills. And that's how you should be looking at this right now. One of the things that I constantly do, I've got walnuts I didn't pick up last fall. Now I'm gonna go down through the driveway area. I don't want them in the driveway anyway. I don't want them around the driveway. I don't have walnut trees either side. But I'll take those and I'll plant them and try to create another walnut arb. little colony of walnut trees. And walnuts grow well as long as they have good moisture. Well, wild raspberries, gooseberries, wild, etc. can be found in pretty much every environment. All you do is move them into a place where you have control or if they're already in place, you eliminate the competition and the plants will take care of themselves. And what happens is you end up with another food stuff where all you have to do is come out. harvest, the plant did all the work for you, and then get on to other things. So that's not one of the ways you need to be looking at the situation we're in. Plus, in the event we get into a conflict, most likely, as I said, we're going to get into a conflict. You want to be able to walk away from something and it keeps working for you. So this is where planting apple trees, pear trees, preferably heritage breeds. They're not as pretty, but they are hearty. They handle the environment. They don't need to have maintenance done. Typically, you want to cut off all your bleeders whenever you can. But if you leave any of the older breeds, they will continue to propagate a good, they'll have a good fruit production and will continue to propagate even if you're not maintaining them. They're going to continue to work. And I've got a couple of archaic, what they are, pickling pairs. Most of you have probably heard of pickling pairs, but the pairs you buy in the store are not the pickling pairs we're talking about. Because pairs get soft, food product gets soft. Originally, they developed a breed that was actually, if you try to just pick it and eat it, it's not like the usual soft skin pair with a soft meat on side. It's actually a very heavy rich fruit. And when I say heavy, I mean it is difficult to actually bite. Now when you use them and you pickle them, you plant them when you, I should say when you either pickle them, which are very popular, or if you can them the way normally would. In the canning process, they're softened up and they're no different from any other pair, but they last longer in jar storage. No matter which way you process them, they last probably three to five times as long without breakdown. Now, even if they break down in the jar, let me point something out. What you have is pear juice. Yes, it's mushy pear juice, but in reality, if you were hungry, as long as the seals are not compromised, the product is still good. It's just you're gonna have to come up with other ways to use it. Well, be creative. But right now propagating everything and anything that you can, walnuts, hickory nut trees, take your pick. I do this as a policy because unlike the asshats who don't seriously believe in the idea of the ecology or the conservation, I actually do, okay? And because of that, part of our mission should be to enhance our environment. So what you're doing is you're promoting breeds a lot of times if you're working on domestic or it should say wild plants you're also typically working with what are naturally occurring breeds that are part of your your little biosphere your little ecosphere They're typically not as well maintained and they're being invented There's a lot of invasive species that are destroying that these these cultures so by picking out and promoting all of the different breeds like this and concentrating them, they have a fighting chance because plants fight just like animals do. Always remember that plants fight just their territorial, they produce enzymes, they produce acids, they produce alkali to promote the soil that fits them and is usually antagonistic to whatever else is around them. So, again, this is a double plus good thing. If you were really serious about protecting their environment, which none of these asshats out there really are, then these are some of the things that we would be doing. Like, we'd be promoting to plant trees. You'll notice that all these Ciquefat fruit loop nutcases, they're frothing at the mouth about how they hate you for everything you can imagine, but they have no solution. And the first solution is, well, you've got the same amount of time I do on the planet. How about you get up off your hairy hind end, get over there and start planting trees. What good will that do? We'll be dead, remember, Larry? We'll be dead in 10 years, 8 years, 9 years, 6 years. Wait a minute, 2012 has already come and gone, hasn't it? Remember that, Larry? We're all gonna be dead because of the Mayan calendar. That didn't work out too well for the bad guys, did it? Nah, not really. That's why they come up with COVID shots. Right, yeah, exactly. So we have, again, we have a problem before us. We're going to have to, we have to be of the attitude. We're coming up with solutions, not just complaining about the problems. And gardening is a lot of fun. I enjoy actually gardening. You think it's kind of strange getting out, it's a lot of hard work in the dirt, I mean it seems like it'd be a strange thing to have fun with, but it really is. I mean, you know, when you do it right and you see the results, I mean it's just very rewarding. Exactly. And that's how it should be. Remember, we're not just fighting for the fun of it. I'm fighting because there are things that I like to do that my enemy is going to try to deny to me. And for that reason, I have no problem wiping them off the face of the earth and exterminating them. In fact, I'm going to do everything in my power. I'm normally a pretty nice person. But when it comes to the enemy that I face, as I said before, I will exterminate them. And I won't think twice about it, won't blank, drink up coffee, take the sandwich right out of their hands, eat whatever it is they had. Get out to fighting all the rest of them because I wanna get back to doing what I like to do. And since I have been developed, I have well been trained and developed these other skills which would preferably not be used, I think that because of the seriousness of my enemy, I need to take them very seriously and I need to get rid of them. So let's all join in and let's cleanse the planet. I mean, if you think about it, like, okay, did, Larry, did you hear, did anybody, actually, Larry, did you see where John Kerry's daughter said, well, you know, several good... Oh, yes, he's an ugly thing. Yeah, several of you feeling out there need to die. Yeah, you first. You just need to die. Yeah, well, again, I was thinking about this. Look at it this way. There aren't that many of the other side that if you kill them all off, they're gone, right? I mean, I'll hunt them. I've told you a million times, and I'll repeat it again, hunt them harder than they think they're hunting you. But some twit like that, oh, she's on the finish list now. In no way, shape or form would I allow something like that to survive this conflict? That POS is gone. That's not an if, that's just a when. Why? Well, that little attitude right there demonstrates it's like the Chelsea Clinton skank. Same dribble if you've seen some of the little quotes amongst themselves. It's like, really? Okay, well, you're gone too. As far as I'm concerned, if we can give them the opportunity one way or another. That problem's going to be dealt with. I won't hesitate to say that to anybody. No, they've already said they'd like to kill you. We've already talked about this many, many times. They've already said and laughed about the idea. So I agree. I think that we should get into the genuine competition of life. We had better take the applied sciences that we all have developed. We understand military science being one of them. And we are going to put them to proper use, get rid of the problem, dust off our cloaks, put their ass in the ash bin of history, and then get on with life. Cuz there's lots of other things to do. In fact, I'm still gonna be enjoying life while I'm enjoying getting rid of them. Everybody said in Braveheart, it was freedom, that's a dream. He goes, well, we've been living that dream, even having to fight. is part of the process of freedom. The ability to resist is a gift. We do not wait until we are bound supinely hand and foot upon the ground before we resist. We have the ability, we have the resources, our enemy has shown its colors and it's time that we bleed them. across the board, every last stinking one of them. Because we don't have anywhere to go and again, we're already on our piece of real estate. What do you want to do? I know I'm not giving anything up. So the other thing here real quick with food is, remember somebody else might benefit from it. Oh, I don't want to do that. Well, you may not want to, but guess what? It could be a friendly. Amazingly enough, you'd be surprised at how useful friends are when the time comes and you might be helping somebody else who will end up being very helpful to you. As Larry, as you pointed out, you're actually able to feed other parts of the community what you produce with your agriculture, with the garden that you actually create. And again, we don't necessarily use it for ourselves. Now, everything that I can, Sorry about that making noise in the background here didn't mean to do that. Hold on here technology is failing me again There we go One more microphone bounce. That's kind of fascinating You know, I think the first part about the way I was taught and I think Larry probably to Wasting food is a sin, right? Kinda. Oh, no, it's okay. Maybe you don't feel the way I do I don't know No, I'm serious. Wasting food is a sin. No, you're going to try everything you need. You're not going to use everything achieved. But if I come across a trove, and I'll tell you, in the last year, more and more, but I've always been able to do this. I've been able to find blocks of stuff for free, most cases. So I've gotten it down to a pretty straightforward science here, especially with some of the stuff most recently. I've been filling up trucks with food. Well, I can't use it all. The material that's going into storage means that I have years of food storage in commercially produced foodstuffs. But I also distributed all through the area. Why? Well, my dad taught me that. Again, don't let food go to waste. They came out of the depression. I paid attention to listen to every story about how badly that went. It's like in you and constantly at the end of any conversation is that you don't want this to happen to you. don't let it happen to you. My grandfathers were like that. They'd keep a big, constantly reminded harp and hill. Some of the my aunts and uncles didn't want to listen. Of course, they ended up in hard times. And they actually grew up and went through all of that disaster. And yet still, some of them wanted to, you know, shut their brains up, then end up with their tip in the ringer, so to speak. And old grandpa or grandma having to turn around and say, well, you know, I told you so and they wouldn't hesitate. Why? Because they needed to drive the point home. You know, I did tell you so. You didn't listen. Now it's not like I'm trying to hurt you. I'm trying to prevent you from doing this again because it was hurtful and you shouldn't do that. You should be learning life lessons. That way you get to that older age because you've learned many life's lessons. And I would point out that the average lifespan for my family on both sides is about 95, 96 years. Barring somebody running over you with something or falling off a very high place or whatever, those usual things you can't stop. But otherwise, for whatever reason, I guess good genes, take your pick. But everybody for the last three, well, three generations ago, they averaged about 103 to 104 in my family. Now you do the math, that's my great grandparents and great grandparents and great uncles and aunts. They're all buried in cemeteries with 101, 102, 104. 98, 99, right around there. I always like it when somebody makes it to 100 cuz it really pisses the government off when you actually survive that long. Especially since they plan on giving all your money to the illegal aliens, right? Think about that. Well, you gotta stick around it for no other reason than just to piss them off. Fight every step of the way, keep everything that you can, deny them everything that you can. Purely because if nothing else, it's a great game of life to play in the process, think. We're we're planning on winning. Okay, so let's make sure that let's make the best of it Another thing here real quick on food production is also food storage Now looks like I said, I've got freeze-dried. I've got MREs. I've got conventional canned goods. I've got commercial retort pouches I've got Mason, you know jarred foods dried foods You name it? Oh Maybe that music box in the back that started all on its own. I was talking to me. But anyway, what's fascinating is again, we have to remember how to consume our reserves. Here's the first rule. Number one, if you have freeze dried food that you invested in, that is the last food that you eat. Why? Because you, well, you can buy a freeze dryer. We're actually thinking about doing it because of the volumes of food that we've been getting. Okay, so freeze drying it, retort pouching it, and putting it on the shelf is good for an indefinite period of time. If it's stored in a cool, dark, dry place, relatively dry, or even not so dry place, freeze dried is good pretty much for, it could be out to a century. So it's the last food you want to actually consume. Anything that's off the shelf that's fresh, needless to say, fresh is better for you anyway, we know that. You want to be eating out of your garden system or you were eating out of your food production facilities and supplement with the staples that you need to bulk it out. Right now, may not be doing so much. We run out of gasoline, so to speak, or we run out of all the things that you're so used to indeed having at your fingertips and we're back to Armstrong. And if you're back to Armstrong, the Armstrong world, every calorie counts. You keep that in mind. every calorie counts and it doesn't make any difference. And don't worry about all the things that they have about right now because some of the overages in your physiology are there based upon crisis environment, not present pleasantries and comfort. Example, you got a gallbladder. Larry, why do we have a gallbladder? You know, I'm not exactly sure what that thing does. This is bile, doesn't it? Right, what it is is part of the, in reality it's consumption storage. If you were able to gorge lean times and then lean times and rich times. In the rich time, you'd be more likely to be eating more proteins, more meats with more fats. The large argument is that the gallbladder's purpose is to provide additional bile to help break down so that whatever you have is either going to be directly processed for use or is going to be processed and put into storage, fact, for the season. Now, the good thing is because we are so well fed, losing your gallbladder is not a crisis situation for anyone. It's one of those comp- one of those parts in your- in your overall metabolism that you could live without. It's not something you want to just chop organs out, but amazingly enough because we're- we're not into the survival and comfort cycle that we saw historically through the history of man, only in this very small window by the way. the gallbladder isn't as critical, but all of a sudden we go back into a dark ages kind of situation or worse, then all of a sudden the gallbladder has a direct application that makes it quite useful. It doesn't mean that you couldn't live without it. But when you can gorge on proteins, especially on again, all the high calorie, high protein meat products, This allows for the body to actually work with the material available. Now here's another thing that we got to watch out because on the one hand we're talking vegetables, but we need to be involved in animal husbandry. In other words, managing livestock of our own, having something at least on the property. And by the way, propagating wild or semi-wild animals is another thing that can be done. Guinea hens. are a fantastic animal because you don't have to do anything with them. Guinea hens can be dropped out of the property in good quantity and like pheasants, they will survive pretty well through most seasons even in the northern climes. Give them a place to stay and protect them and you've got an unlimited food stuff. But they're a semi wild stock if you want to promote them that way. Now why do I bring it up? Well, because we're not. pure carnivores. I'll bet we have that gallbladder. But we're also not vegans or vegetarians. The reason we got to the top of the food chain is for what reason, guys? If we're not just carnivores, and we're not just herbivores, then we are, what's the third one? Omnivores. And we are the most efficient of all types on the planet. that having been fully adaptable to virtually every environment and being able to take advantage of all food stuffs, whether the environment be hot or be cold or a comfort zone in between, man has survived. When many other species, including great lizards and all kinds of other dominant creatures have come and gone. Now it doesn't mean that can't happen to us too. Yeah, it's what, it could. But you know what? We are able to handle all of those environments. In other words, adaptive to the climate conditions and adaptive to available foodstuffs. Most species are either fight or flight. You know, they're either predator or prey. Well, we're kind of in both categories. You'll say something will always try to eat something else. So yeah, there's always something hunting us. We plan on having, well, since we are that great tool making animal and the tool making animal, we also have a phenomenal advantage in being able to compensate for limitations in physical structure. And all of this plays on how our society was built. Now here's the thing, by the way, Larry, I don't know if you caught it. Guys, last week there were a bunch of statements made that are priceless. The ring knockers over in Europe. Now let's understand that where our problem comes is from the kosher mafia who have been completely manipulating the continent since way before America was created. We pissed him off because we became isolated from a combination of the kosher mafia bankers and the feudalists who of course were operating all over the planet, not just in Europe, but Africa, South America, Asia, etc. at all. Well, last week they made the comment. Now, I'll start from this direction first. I've told you before, guys, how is it? that America was able to feed the world six to seven times over in 1955. And yet today, all of a sudden, we have shortages in the year 2024. Last week, some of those bee witches over in Europe openly we're talking about the planned destruction of America because it made the feeding of the world possible. Their words, not mine. They hate America and they hate our system, our American form, because it was through our American form of commerce, economy, and agriculture. that we literally made it possible for the world to grow and to stabilize. Does everybody understand what that means? That's what I've been saying forever, but it's fascinating seeing their arrogance right now. They're blurting out like Carrie, Carrie's daughter blurting out, well, several billion of you gotta die for the New World Order, of course. Think about also this in you, this hatred of America because through a peaceful means we created stability and growth and they hate us for that. The ability just simply to, we could do this right now, I've argued this for years, but what's great is I've lived long enough now, excuse me, hold on a second here, I've lived long enough that they've actually spewed it from their face. that they hate America, that they want America destroyed because we can feed the world if we applied ourselves. Because we have the wherewithal, we have the motivation, we have the motivating factors. The idea of our form of private property ownership promoted better production. The feudal lords and the Jewish mafia, manipulating the population by creating war, destruction, and famine, and whatever, had everything in control for their minority purposes so that they could kill us off at their discretion. We changed that, I've told you this for years, we are chapter house America. Just the idea of the Bill of Rights, well, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Articles of Confederation, were so unique that it forced the enemy to halt in their tracks, number one. Changed the dynamic of the overall global battlefield in terms of economics, but also altered the concepts through our view, in which now it's the heated industrial age by all of these pricks. who are embracing this feudalist slash communist slash monarchist crap again. But that's not new. This is why we have to fight. The founding fathers understood they were a minority. There's nowhere else on the planet. In fact, in 1775 when we went and pulled the first trigger, eight years later, everywhere else on the planet, you were a subject everywhere. I don't care if it's China, South America, Africa, or Europe. You were property of the state, slash a bondsman, slash a subject. All group of people changed the entire formula for that and altered the path of the planet. You're living in an epic time where you're gonna find out if your metal is such that for all the brag, You're gonna have to put your ass on the line, fight a war for independence again, and then start hunting their sorry ass down and finishing what was started. Cuz this time around, Larry, just like you said, Mr. Schwab's gotta go. Mr. Gates has gotta go. This little clique of sycophants has got to be gone. If all of a sudden we went into a conflict and everybody with all the vendettas and all the in you and all of the an avarice and you know animosity and hatred that everybody has in so many different ways for these ring knockers if they all kick in Yeah, what do you think the survivability rating of Miss Carrie would be for instance? After all the little witch does it does look so I mean she's so unique. She really couldn't hide could she? Where would she hide? Now she looks so you go rotten piece of trash, you know I guys you can tell that there's a wretched wicked soul behind those eyes There's a wretched wicked evil Demon behind there, you know behind them behind those those those so get the ugly thing I've seen in a while. Okay that inside now Mostly it's in because you know people do not have to be pretty to be beautiful. You know what I mean? They don't have to be pretty to be a beautiful person. Pretty doesn't count always. But in this case, I think it's reflective of the nature of the creature and the stock involved. Yeah, one wretched soul. Yeah, we got to fight. Now, food is critical. But I want to mention again before we go any farther, and Larry again, if you haven't, I don't think you've, I don't know if I've mentioned this when you've been here, over at Shop of, oh, God, I was gonna say Shop Med that, of course I want to go to Shop Med that, but that's not where we're going. Go over to SportsmansGuide.com, SportsmansGuide.com, SportsmansGuide.com, and they have Italian military surplus burn gel dressings. Uncle Mark has been harping on this for a reason. I have a burn pack. I have a couple of different burn packs for my medical kit set up for Doc Doc kits. They're advanced, okay? These burn dressings are for limbs, for leg and arm, but they can be used anywhere else by cutting them down. This is in the burn gel medium. The packs are much bigger than I expected. I figured they were half the size they turned out to be, only because of what I typically had to buy. And they are 10 of these in a bundle. for $13 and approximately 60 cents. Now I said this and I haven't able to get out online to check it, but they may have gone up a few dollars because I think we've been selling them. In other words, I've mentioned them on the air and people have gone in. I've seen sportsman's guy do this. They jack the price up, okay? Not much, but a little. Even if you talk about the burn packs or? Yeah, it's a burn gel dressing. It literally is. It's a 50 millimeter wide. dressing by one meter. And it's in the it's in the foil EMT type packets, the more robust heavier retort pouches. Now, one of the things I recommend is if you're going to buy these, put them into a carrier that protects them inside your kit. Because if they get perforated, they're going to leak because they actually have the burn gel supplicant that's designed to go over the wound and pull heat. And one thing I've been fascinated by is these packages just on the shelf stay cold wherever you put them. And when you touch them, they're cold to the touch, no matter where they've been. I left them in the packing case in the car, got kind of warm in there. Everything else is warmed up. These things literally radiated cool. Now, they're about the size of a baby Ruth bar. The package is a family-sized baby Ruth bar, which we call it that nowadays. So, they're probably around 8, 10 inches long. The package is about an inch thick and about 2.5 to 3 inches in height or width. Forgive me. They're a 10 to a bundle. They're Italian military burn gel dressing. Now, these things otherwise just in patches. My other burn kits, I have patches. They're designed to go over areas, but they're small. You have to have multiples into shingle type construction if you're gonna do them in the medic form. These are for wrapping limbs, but they can be cut into strips and laid on a burn area just as efficiently. And for the price guys, I paid more for the two pouches, the two single five by six gel packs that I got. I made more for the two tiny little dressings that I got than you're paying for 10 of these. And this will cover a whole lot of other problems with regard to burns, which typically are going to be the limbs. The core of the body is pretty well protected in a burn situation. This is why you have a point system. If you're not familiar with evaluating a burn casualty, And limbs are obviously most likely to be, you know, most devastatingly affected simply because lack of layered protection. The groin, the torso is usually better protected because at the very least you have two layers of cloth and material covering the core. But because you need to articulate your arms and legs, usually from about the groin area down and obviously from the armpits down, those areas are more likely to be more severely injured. So, this is actually a very good thing. Again, you can't beat the price at sportsmansguy.com. Look in the Italian military surplus or look in the medical supplies, but it is a surplus item. Now, they do have bandages and a lot of other items, but this is reason I've been harping is, this is inside the medical support sphere, circle of supply. This is a very odd man out thing you normally don't see. Okay, just that simple. It's kind of like gas masks to military surplus or to outfitting a militia. Gas masks are a minority technology. There are never enough of them. There's a wide variety because it's surplus stuff that's come out, but it's always in short supply. In the medical sphere, the only reason I think we've seen this stuff pop up the way it did in surplus is because of the last 20, 30 years worth of fighting in the Middle East. between Afghanistan, Iraq, etc., because NATO was up in Afghanistan, the Italians were there, the Germans were there, everybody's been up there at one time or another to help protect the opium, okay? The dope must flow. But because of that, there's a bunch of stuff like this out and about. Now, these are in the EMT weight containers, or mylar, they're not just a mylar pouch, these are the very heavy gauge retort pouch type dressing packets. They're fantastic. If you haven't seen the difference, if you start ordering medical supplies, you'll notice that when you order from certain companies, they'll identify EMT grade. Typically, what that means is that the pouch that it comes in will take a lot more abuse and damage because it's a heavier gauge stock. Unlike off-the-rack medical supplies, which are typically certainly sterile wrap most of the time. Not always, because not all medical dressings are rated as sterile. But they do have a usually a semi water resistant to outer packing. Usually it's a plastic inside paper outside. Those are not as durable. So, these are designed for carry with either an EMT satchel, a dock kit, or a medical kit that you put together, making them a very good choice across the board. And that is over at Sportsman's Guide dot com, Sportsman's Guide dot com, and it's Italian Surplus Military Burn Gel Dressings. And at least get one. If we spread them out, they'll be out there. At least you're not sitting on the shelf if something goes to hell in a hand cart. And there's a limited supply. There already, again, only so many. It's surplus. It's not a regular ticket item. It's not something you're gonna run out and buy more of easily. And if they were actually replaced the product, it would not be as cheap as it is there. Go price it. Just go price them. That's all you have to do. Compare it. Do a comparative shop. Go try and find them. You'll see what I'm talking about. So, that is a priority. Also, again, as long as you're a sportsman's guide, always check the clearance. There's been a bunch of really good items over there in the clearance. There are usually onesies or twosies in sizes. In other words, there's only a couple sizes left. But there have been some very good uniform deals. They have some Italian woodland camo. with a cap, uniform sets, top and bottom, only size extra large. But yeah, that's a good size. That's actually can fit a lot of people. So it's extra large only, woodland camo, top and bottom, brand new, unissued, with a patrol cap for about $20. Now, it used to be I wouldn't be going, wow, but in this day and age, that's actually a pretty good price because wholesale is what, that's what those cost wholesale. I know who they bought them from, already checked on them last week because I wanted a lot of them for one of the militias here. And for the moment Sportsman's Guide has them cheaper than the wholesaler has. Just to give you an idea, I know exactly where they came from. But they only have the one size left. And if they reorder, they're going to be ordering them from the person I'm talking to at the wholesaler and they're going to be charging more when they come back into circulation if they put them back into stock. But we got a unit here that needs several hundred sets of uniforms and I think we got covered doing this That's the best way to deal with it get the block to work together And remember you need at least three sets of change out at least for whatever you're gonna do Maybe you don't have all camouflage, but by God scrape up OD green whatever you're gonna do But you need change outs and clothes. They'll rot off your body They will rot off your body if you don't watch it ain't nothing made as well as it used to be now Let's see, we're almost to the top. I'm looking at my Swiss, Larry, I don't know if you know, I have my Swiss made French night bomber clock, which by the way was collected by the Germans after World War II, World War I, and they took these clocks and there's only two places they were used. They were used in French night bombers in 19, oh, 1915, 1916. And then after the war, they disassembled those bombers and the French were captured, these were captured during World War II in the beginning by the Germans and they were installed on the German U-boats. So this was either A, on a German U-boat during World War II or B, it was not a French bomber in World War I. But either way, it's got about a lot of history behind it because it could have been in both. Nobody let anything go to waste couldn't especially since it's a Swiss kind piece by the way, it's about Four inches in diameter and it's got wall brackets all cast into it, but it's a phenomenal piece of equipment It's more reliable than everything else. I got here electronic Again, you gotta remember back. We'll be back, Carl.
