both streams down the report. You may have fixed it. May just be catching up. We'll see what's happening. Thank you. Appreciate that. Is it functioning now or not? Well, we'll find out. It'll let us know. And again, it is the 10th of April, Weapons Wednesday. It is the 16th year of Open Obvious and In Your Face Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. Is this still the land of the free and the home of the brave? 2024, old earth calendar. I'm giving it all she's got, Captain. And 2024, Battle for the Republic, book two, the winter war. Coming to an end. We're almost through with the winter now, but hopefully if you ever read any of the books, I hope that one made you cold. That's what it was supposed to do. For everybody again, it's been a perfect day here, though we cannot complain outside working, moving two by fours, driving nails, sorting all the old stuff out, preparing a bunch of the other tactical stuff to be painted. I got some painting today done, mostly mechanical engineering. There we go. Thank you. So again, take advantage of the weather. Every day we've got is another day when we can accomplish things that are going to be needed for what's going to kick off. And the other side, they're not even bothering to hide it. So there's no reason to be concerned. I mean, just be ready. Organize Army equipment and train as militia. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations. Logistics, the key to victory. Most important is logistics, knowing how to get what you need, where you need it, and having it there. So when the troops need it, they're ready to jump off 100% ready to go or close enough. We'll catch up, but we gotta have the basics in place first and all of you people, the ones that make that happen. Anyway, let's do this. Edward, if you could, I don't know, we might be catching up with other issues there, but guns and gadgets for today. For everybody out there, there's a bunch of things. We actually have had some pretty successful activity in the weapons area, but the bad guys aren't slowing down. Remember, Illinois is just waiting in the wings. Have you noticed that? We're just neutral. What happened? They were all gangbusters. They were telling you, if you didn't get out there and register those guns, they were going to kick your door in. They were going to show you who was boss. And then they just and then they just and then they then they they just and Well, they're still just thing now. It doesn't mean that there isn't stuff going on people are not necessarily reporting it. Let's remember that But I think I heard a little bit of music there if we could add Guns and Gadgets latest episode Here we go, I think we're queuing up on that right now And for all of you that are listening, this is Liberty Tree Radio. It is Weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of April. I don't want to talk over... For the fastest Form 4 approval by the ATF? Or is this a setup? Let's talk about this. Guys, now that I live here in Tennessee, suppressors is a new game to me. They were illegal in Massachusetts because protecting your hearing is a terrible thing. It makes you an assassin. So, I've bought a couple here now that I'm in Tennessee. And the first couple that I bought, I put up my times on social medias. I think it was the first one was approved in 156 days, and then the second two were batch approved, and like 164, or vice versa. But either way, it was a while. Well, There's been a meeting it's been you know a lot of people talking about it's been heavily publicized about the ATF and how they are getting faster form for approvals and I want to tell you how fast I got mine but first I want to take the sponsor of the video that's blackout coffee we have just released our new product instant premium coffee it's all Colombian it's all amazing if you're on the go if you're hiking snowboarding you're going out diving If you're going to be at the ballpark for the day, if you're a trucker, you can bring quality premium coffee with you with our instant coffee. Just add hot water and you're good to go and Bob's your uncle. Check it out, blackoutcoffee.com slash gng. Grab you some. You can bring it anywhere. Really, really excited about this. This has been years in the making. There's been a lot of requests for this, so hopefully you enjoy. All right, so. This has been heavily, heavily publicized. ATF has been approving people for Form 4s, for suppressors, in times we've never seen before. How did this happen? Well, ATF had a meeting, and there were some FFLs in it. And in the meeting, ATF said that they were changing how things are done as far as wait times. And the gentleman who actually came up with this idea was in the meeting, and he said this was my idea. And I'm paraphrasing. But what he said was that, you know, people waiting for Form 4 could be held up because, you know, this example is like one person, their background check is causing a delay or a problem, and that just holds up everybody else behind them in line. So he came up with an idea. Let's take that person and we'll put them in a different line to be handled chronologically. But everybody else who doesn't have a problem, we'll just get those through as fast as we can. And when we get to the next person who is a problem as far as a quick background check, then we'll move them to that line and keep going. And it's been paying off. So I decided I'm going to test that because I wanted a can for my MP5 clone, my PTR. And we submitted the Form 4 for certification yesterday. I got the approval today. less than 24 hours. In fact, it's one shift. We certified at like 10 in the morning and by 10 a.m. I already had the approval today from the ATF. So it was less than 16 hours according to my FFL who submitted it. But it was one shift. One shift because you think FEDs work eight to four, one shift and it was approved. So, I'm going to be going this afternoon to pick up said can for those asking. It's a Gemtech. It's a 9mm can. And I am actually going to try to bring a credit card and I might buy a couple more today to see if I can get a couple more before wait times go up, I guess. So, you've seen... People saying they're getting record times and a lot of people have been you know, no skeptical But I'm here to tell you guys and gals I got it approved in one shift form four was Submitted and certified yesterday got the approval today. I know it's not the fastest Some people got approvals like when in a couple hours at least that's what's been reported But I can tell you I can verify I got mine submitted and approved in a shift so If you've been thinking about grabbing a can or two, now is the time. And there were a couple factors that I want to talk about too, because in the beginning people were saying that it was only those who had trusts. I don't have a trust. I just process it as an individual. Now some people will probably come back and say, you're crazy, you should have a trust. And there's a couple other things that I wanted to tell you that I, the way I think it went down fast. So I... have my prints and my picture on file in Silencer Shop and it came out in the original stories that those people who had something similar to her Silencer Shop set up that that was going through the fastest. Yes, it worked for me. One shift, can approved, going to get it today. Here's a picture of my Form 4, just the dates. I don't want to give out too much personal information obviously. But, yeah man, I, I, first, alright, now let's address the elephant in the room. Shouldn't have to pay $200 to make something okay, right? It's an unconstitutional tax. I know that. I agree with you. There's a reason I'm getting a couple cans, and for those people who say I'll never put my name on a list, you're already on one. Yeah, some people agree with buying cans and some don't. Your mileage may vary, but I wanted a couple got a couple now and this one I got was less than one shift approval by the ATF So I don't know if this is a setup by the ATF You know they don't like the channel and I've gotten a couple ATF agents or retired agents who have started to follow me a couple areas of social media where it still says retired agent or you know special agent and their bio so Keep an eye on this channel.

And let me know what you think about our instant coffee. I am stoked to hear what you guys and gals think. Take care. We are back guns and gadgets and basically Jared's talking about buying a silencer, a real suppression system. Silencer is like, when you use the term silencer, it's like saying bulletproof vest. Rule number one, nothing is bulletproof. It's bullet resistant, but it's not bulletproof. A suppressor, in other words, reduct noise reducer, is what you're looking at. There is no such thing as a silencer. Nobody can hear it. Trust me, you can hear it. It makes noise. In fact, there are a lot of down points to having silencers. Not just the paperwork and administrative crap with an enemy who hates your guts and is going to do everything in their power to use that as an excuse to come after you when the time comes. I do not agree with the idea of getting them, whoever usually has them is buried up to their eyeballs and paperwork. So for that person, it really doesn't make much difference. As he said, it's like, yeah, they've already got so much on me that as far as what he's doing it for, if he has a personal concept of, let's just say a needful device for events that are on the cusp, then might as well have it. But for most all of you, 99.9% of you, you do not want a suppressor or paperwork with the Fed in any way, shape or form. It is the excuse they use to enter your property because they don't have to guess. They actually have a listing. So when the time comes for them to surreptitiously or scurlessly attack somebody, guess what? They're going to come at it from that direction. It's just that simple. So, but if you like you said, if you're already on the list. It's a personal flavor choice thing. My attitude is I don't really need a device of that type. I have all kinds of other neat tricks. If I had to employ them, I know work. Historically, they work and they're actually more desirable. Now, for the most part, I'm going to tell you something. I don't want to be quieter in front of my enemy. Do you? When the aggressor hits, in fact, what I prefer is, in fact, I'll tell you one of the neatest tricks is using a directional forward muzzle cup rather than a suppression system. I wanna make lots of noise. I want everybody's mother's uncle to know that there's a firefight taking place. I want the people in the next county over to know the war has started. I don't want it to be a secret. I want it to be out way, way out there in the boondocks. You hear that, Zach, going all the way over here, Bob? Because that way, this isn't one of those, the dagger work kind of little quarrels in the background where both sides are kind of quiet. And we'll be reasonable and nobody will be upset. And we can have an exchange of, you know, 50 cups, so to speak, without bothering the earlobes of the neighbors. Just reverse is what you want. Especially since you have allies. Remember, it may be the gunfire, the only thing that people hear. Boom, boom, pop, pop. And for that reason, you want big, you want boom, and you want lots of noise. And you all want to point it at the enemy. You want the enemy to hear every bang, bang, boom, boom, pop, pop. You can throw at him in force. Always, that's my attitude across the board, always will be, not gonna change that. When the time comes, if I need a suppression device, I'm gonna pull off the corpse of the enemy. They're carrying the best money can buy, your government tax dollars paid for it. So pulling it off their corpse when the time comes is a much better choice for 99% of you. You're not gonna be satisfied with the product because propaganda is one thing, reality is another. and silencing or sound reduction technology also has a bunch of maintenance issues that nobody talks about. Everybody talks about the fun part, but it's like everything else. There are certain aspects to each of these systems that requires additional maintenance, also ammunition considerations. Because there are all kinds of issues depending upon the design and how the suppression system works and some yes do work better much better than others. Some are phenomenal as far as their performance but still they're not silent. However, they do create back pressure, increase cup pressure. They can cause other performance issues with a combination of both the discharge of the gases from the barrel into the, and how they're translated into the suppressor. And in addition to that also affect the bullet as it leaves the crown of the suppressor itself, which typically is oversized anyway. It's not like it's just running down another barrel. That's a common dimension extension of the weapon that you're using. So that's another thing you need to remember is there's a lot of other things that are tied into. Now me personally, a cone cup type, not so much a cone, but even just a regular cup. And I'll tell you what's really cool, this is weird too. The British grenade launchers, you know, grenade launchers. There's a ton of them coming out right now and they're not that expensive. Now granted, they're built for the Enfield. They're designed to be used with the Enfield rifles. But if you look at that device, amazingly enough, using that with ball ammunition is kind of like the smaller versions they're doing for the AR-15, M16 family of rifle. that create forward energy projection and are designed to be big boom toys. Make big boom noise. In other words, distract, agitate, and suppress your ability to focus. Damage your ability to stay on target, so to speak. Well, it doesn't work as well as they'd like. And in fact, there's been a lot of conversation back and forth about the whole idea about whether or not it is a good idea. I think it is. Number one, I'm not counting on being quieter. I want my neighbors to know, I want my allies to know, I want everybody to know we're in a firefight and we are fighting for our lives. I need my people to respond. How do I get that to happen? I make sure that everybody in the neighborhood knows the boom toys are going off. That's how. And in fact, it is in closer quarters, concussive energy of that type. That's why they've come up with these new pieces of technology to project sound, to literally take the energy that's coming off of that weapon and apply it to distract or disrupt the individual they're making or individuals they're making contact with. Well, I don't have to do much to change my weapon at all if it's a .30-06, a .308 battle rifle, any number of other MBRs, semi-automatic, or even manually operated in shotguns the same way. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Well, Mark, in all the cool movies, yes I know, in all the cool movies, I show you some really cool stuff, but it's not relevant to our fight. And again, rather than fiddle farting around with a bunch of asshats who have notoriously lied over and over again about everything, do you have any confidence in this system? Why would you have any confidence in the bat faggots, the FBI, Homeland, Succu-Ridey, all of these turds, all these whores have betrayed us. And if they've betrayed us the way they have on the national level, you think you have some kind of special force field with regard to them betraying you at the personal level? Is there something magical about these lying asshats? Oh, but all of a sudden they're going to have a different attitude. No, they're not. These jackasses, in fact, they haven't changed at all. They're exactly the way they've been for as long as I've been alive. A lying bunch of wusses. I don't know, far worse words I could use, actually. And I was tempted to do over there for a moment. But the fact is that they're a bunch of trash. They're in no way, shape, or form. There should be any confidence in their performance. If they're doing this they have ulterior motives because they've got that bubble rubber rubber lip piece of trash in charge of the bat faggots You've seen him and he reminds me of the mortar the mortar commander mortar battery commander in Kelly's Heroes It's exactly what he looks like too And the way that he functions is not accidental. In reality, he's a wicked person. Don't make any mistake about that. Well, he's goofy and he's, no, he's wicked and he's evil. And in fact, people, he's counting on the idea that because of the way he does the blubbery buffoonery thing, no, he didn't get to that job because he's a nice person or a kind of a kind of buffoon, not at all. He's a piece of gutter trash, a rotten turd, a piece of kosher filth of excrement that should be wiped from your boots. That's what it is. So as far as this goes, again, I understand what he was talking about. He actually told you, it's like, hey, they already got me, they got everything they know about me. I think it would be kind of handy. This would be a useful tool, fine. And yes, it's for hearing protection because I want to keep my ears clear and stuff. Yeah, I'll go along with constructing any conversation of that type that somebody wants to come up with. But I fully understand the actual concept of why and how most usefully that particular device would apply to the present situation that we're all a part of. And I think you all understand what I mean. So anyway, again, if you're asking me, no, no way in hell, don't do it. For all of you out there, remember, anytime you get into NFA, Techni, anything, NFA, with paperwork, they've always changed the laws. Do you understand that? They've always changed the laws. They've always lied their ass off. In fact, let me put it this way. Considering, oh, I'm gonna go get a suppressor, okay, let's see, can we say, uh, pistol braces? Well, but no, Mark, that's given. Really? How is that different? Can we say pistol braces? And what happened with those? All for as long as the sun shines and the river flows, the big, big Washington DC father said that they made a decision and then big Washington DC father said it again. So the treaty that we have with you is for as long as the sun shines and the river flows and we've changed our minds and you're all criminals. That's why me, my trust government, me trust father of heaven. Yeah, exactly. So again, my head's up. I just can't emphasize this enough. No way in hell. That's just how you should be thinking. It's the best way to keep yourself. There'll still be enough other, they'll fabricate, they'll lie, they'll do whatever they're gonna do anyway soon enough. Okay, and make no mistake about that. There isn't anything gonna deflect you from the fight that we're headed towards. That is inevitable. We are going to war in 24. The other side has already made their decision. The old Wicked Witch of the West scenario, they're just trying to figure out, they've got the hourglass flipped over, and they're figuring out which date time place to use for the Wicked deed they have planned. Now, we just need to be ready to deal with them as a problem. And in the meantime, well, keep yourself lower on the list. Everybody's on the list. But keep yourself lower on the list. I know there's all the other things you've done. Well, Marcus probably got me into it. Yes, it has. Almost everything you've done has put you on some kind of list. The only good thing is because the list is 50 miles long, that doesn't make much difference in the general scheme of things. It's the more sophisticated short list that they've created. And by the way, again, for suppression devices, class, even a cure and relic collectors, by the way. If you don't know what curio and relic, you may have seen that when you've been looking at being able to purchase a gun. You can get a curio or relic permit so that you get a deal and you can pretty well snag weapons that theoretically don't have any restriction on them theoretically. and they are conventional arms but this gives you a fast track problem when the time comes it will be the fast track that they use to attack you it'll be fast track. You mean like a black powder revolver? Anybody can purchase one of those but later on you can't. It's not a C&R? Right. No, no, no, that's not a C&R. No, no, that's a test. Okay, now thank you for bringing up. No, that's good. Number one, there are different types of, they're trying to change this to it. As soon as, once they got the Gun Control Act of 1968, they were forced, they were forced before they were able to get it passed. to fabricate a whole bunch of categories that did not exist, but they were willing to concede because as you can see with what they're doing now, they're just gonna lie their ass off first, then they turn right around and they completely ignore whatever agreement they made and everything is flip-flopped. Well, since the gun control act is 68, anything made before 1898, And he designed before 1898. Well, black powder in its entirety is listed as a non-firearm category. It's a, of course, well, Mark, you could shoot somebody with a yes, I know you can. By the way, remember, during the Civil War, a lot of people got shot with black powder devices. Most of them just went home because they weren't really hurt, were they? Oh, that's right. Yeah, they killed a lot of people. Yeah, I did. But the fact is that because of the way that they wrote the law, This, of course, gave us this exception with black powder devices. So anything, even if it's a more modern device, if it is intentionally black powder, it is rated as a non-firearm for the time being. So it is an area that you have an option to take advantage of. Now, here's another thing. Anything before 1898 is a non-fire armor, is considered an antique, although it technically is the curio and relic category, but we're now so far past that window of time that these are considered to be, quote unquote, antique arms. However, moisten negants made by GE and by Russia were made before 1898. That's why it's the Model 1891 Negant. Okay, do the math, got seven more years. Many Winchester's are out there. They should not require an FFL. Here's what's interesting. If you go to any of the FFLs and they have been buying pre-98 weapons, you will notice that they're still expecting you to use the FFL to purchase them. So this is something that has happened only in the last few years with the Communists making their next move through arbitrary action. If the weapon is a pre-1898 firearm, it should not in any way, shape, or form require paperwork. Now, there's two ways that this has changed. Number one is if it's cheap or they try to keep it cheap. Example are the pre-98 Schmidt-Rubin straight pulls that have been coming in. There are about three to four models that the Swiss came off of here recently, or whoever, somebody did, but they're pristine. They're virtually look like they're brand new out of the box. But they're pre-1898 Schmitt Rubens. Now these are very nice rifles. They are straight pull. They are usually in, like I said, pristine condition. They look like, well, they've been in collection, which they have. They've been in arsenal. But they've been in a collection and well maintained, which they did. They should be no FFL but the classic firearms for instance because they were licking somebody's butt or there's a couple other companies that did this. All these weapons you have to use an FFL to get them. Well, no you don't. They just acquiesce because they were pressured to say that or do it. And it's an arbitrary action on the part of the FFL which tells me that I don't trust that FFL very far. Yeah, that's how I judge you, you know, buy their actions in this way. You can't tell, well, did they have to do it? No, they couldn't be forced to do it. But they decided to, you know, lick rumpus and so just pay attention to who does that. Now, the other companies that don't charge or don't use the FFL to buy that, you know, for you to buy that weapon, which you shouldn't have to, have done something else. The price is doubled or quadrupled or tuppled. So a weapon that traditionally was about a $50 rifle or $40 rifle is now a $400 rifle. So you're paying $400 for a pre-98 weapon that in many cases usually not really in great condition. Serviceable, but it's not fantastic. So, the gaugy in one way or another. Either way, remember, it's a basic rule. This is why I know the CIA is tied into this crap because this is that two-year cycle, so I spendable income formula I've told you about for years. If they can jack the price up, you have less spendable income to finish whatever you're trying to do, making everything an obtanium price, which is not an accident. It's very much intentional. And again, the problem is the balance out is well, gee, I can get a an AK or an AR for 350 to $400 in nice, you know brand new or I'd be paying this kind of price for something that might be just one step away from being a fence post. See there's the market on the side. Go ahead. Atlantic Firearms are selling to a pair a brace. of SKS's for $1,900. Brand new, consecutive, so you get two with consecutive serial numbers. But look at that price, huh? And don't forget, they're coming out of the box, guys. We bought them, I know, everyone goes, you know, we've heard this, no, yeah, well, you could choose to just grab a bunch of rifles out of the box when the Chinese weapons were coming in or when the, when the Yugos first came in. And it was base price standard. There wasn't any crazy gouging going on. And the F-Casses were $56 a piece. I've told you this many times. Midwest was the biggest distributor during that era. And they moved massive quantities. You can buy a case full of consecutive number for $56 a weapon. Mark, is this exactly what you were talking about? Chinese type 56 SKS rifle, CNR FFL eligible. Not CNR eligible, but CNR FFL eligible. 750 bucks by the way. Yeah, and what you're doing, here's the thing is, probably would, I don't know, but you're even expediting anything. See, that's the problem with that. You're not getting a better price Certainly you might get a little, I don't know, you can't really get any, you're not gonna get any give on the time it takes for you to get the weapon. So there's no benefit. You know what I mean? Explain to me what anybody thinks the benefit would be to actually do this, you know, cure and relic paperwork. Because again, it puts you in another tier where you benchmark yourself. You can be a private collector of as many weapons as you want. But you will I'm gonna get the cure and relic, you know category and I'll be able to just not go you don't have to go through an FFL but it's because technically you are an FFL You're just a personal FFL for you know for your purchasing for personal consumption big in our mission around blah blah blah go ahead. They've also got the Yugoslavian model 5966 SKS $759 and the SKS Yugoslavian 5966 BLEM, which I didn't read what the BLEM is, but they want $499 for that. So now the standard price for an SKS seems to be between $550 and $750. Isn't that fascinating? It's expected. You know, one thing about this, now let's not forget that we're, for instance, right now, Palmetto is making an American AK-47 and they make an AK, I believe they make the 74 too, I'm pretty sure. And what's interesting about this is something we said, although it's actually because of CNC, the price is better than it could be. But if you had to make the SKS when we were getting them for even $100 a rifle, you couldn't make that gun for $56 or $100. The SKS is a despite what as soon as I say that you're gonna have some wit witness fool, you know, oh that's stupid. The SKS is requires a little more skill in some ways for manufacturer. Remember the the big advantage is magazine capacity obviously go. But remember that when the SKS was originally built, it was part of a family of weapons, just like in the US military, we had a family of arms for specific tasks and types of operations or activity. The SKS fit the niche of exactly as it's described as a carbine, a carbine. It was designed to hold a particular place in the inventory to support personnel for support personnel Artillery was supposed to get it. The only thing that changed you really miss a plus is Manufacturing and the design of the weapon were progressively developing the stamped model which didn't come for a long time really the idea of a stamped SKS wasn't you know there right away, but The SKS was the artillery truck driver like we've been saying until they could catch up in production. It pretty much stayed that way. Everybody goes, well, there's no really reason for it. All these people looking, you know, back in the taillights. During the day, they committed to the SKS, the design itself. It was part of a national plan. When the weapon when the next weapon in line became available the assault rifle niche weapon It was decided that well hell we can make these cheap enough and fast enough and actually maybe a little cheaper than the SKS maybe a lot cheaper So we're gonna go that way now in the meantime. They did make a stamped SKS most you know if you were buying the Chinese stuff It was a 50-50 draw half the time you got a stamped receiver brand-new unissued in the box and Half the time you got a machine receiver, a fully machine, all machine parts, everything. Fantastic weapon either way, worked just fine, beautiful firearm. But if you had to build it today, most people wouldn't want to spend the money that would be required in order for you to make that weapon to its original specifications. It would cost more. It would truly cost more out of the box. And the only thing that's given us an edge to make the AKs, which means the SKS could be brought out in an American model, fully just a direct military copy, just like Paul Beto was already doing, probably for the same price range. You wouldn't save much. It wouldn't be a cheaper weapon because the basic cost of the weapon, the basic manufacturing components are the same. The only difference is you have a magazine well at the base of the weapons, a big hollow hole on the AK, which means that then you have another production line that produces the magazines and the basic components to make the magazine. Or I should say to put the magazine together, forgive me. The other one, the Ask-Ass, you have one magazine. It was a 10-shot. It's built with a gun. It was a stamped component most of the time, 99% of the time. and was easily affixed and you're done. So the cost for both should be the same if you have modern manufacturing. But I'd be willing to bet they charge more. Go ahead. When I saw the MINI 14 in 76239, I thought to myself, it's an upscale SKS. Basically, again, it fits in that niche. Well, of course, it does have a magazine. It came right out of the box. Obviously, it came out of the chocks with the magazine. My SKS has magazines too. Right. That's funny, you care about the front. They're a little harder to find pouches for. In fact, if anybody knows where it can get pouches, that would fit those. Call in and let us know. Over. For the duck bill. For the 30 round duck bills, yeah. It's an awkward size and you wind up with a lot of extra room in the pouch or you gotta like weave them into the bag by turning them in different directions and obviously if you're in a pressured situation you don't wanna be figuring out which way you need to turn things over. The one thing to remember is again the different paperwork minimize to maximize. It's bad enough. that the Communists have gotten away with as much as they have with regard to altering the body of the law of the nation. Illegitimately and in fact a bunch of leftist Republic rats helped to make the gun control act of 1968 go and many people who everybody goes, oh, there's a patriot. No, they weren't. These ass hats, oh God, I was gonna say it. These ass hats, I didn't say the other word. These assets, exactly what they were doing when they betrayed the country. You would be fascinated if you were to go back to 1968 and start looking at all the stuff. 1967, forgive me, and look at all the stuff that was generated by all of these turds. You always talk about rhinos. Well, those turds are right out there and in everybody's face and they just had to, we just had to acquiesce and give in to the to the leftist. Well, look where that got us. Look at where that got America the same turds over and over again keep doing this to us And it's always the same routine. Well, you just got to give some ground and just give some ground How about we push back and kick them in the teeth? Oh, let's be reasonable and again one of my least favorite quotes In general, but it's a favorite because I bring it up all the time when we talk about the 68 gun control act and Teddy Kennedy back in the day said first we get all their guns then we can shove anything down their throat that we want. That's their attitude. And that's the attitude they have now and they've had it for a long time. Over. Yeah, so we're again we're on the edge. Personal flavor choice. Right now focus more on the basics. I cannot emphasize this enough. We've mentioned this many times on the air but Focus on the basics to me. How much ammunition do you actually have in inventory? The silencer or suppressor, if you choose to do it, you're gonna have to make it part of your budget. If you've got a lot of money, you won't care. If you're the average person, you have to. So it's one of those additional expenditures with trappings that's really not for, it doesn't serve any purpose within our particular group. Now there's no by the time we need them. They'll be bringing them to us by the dozen, right? Yeah Like I said, you just be pulling them off their corpse and okay. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Oh, this is left the building and then on to other things because this is It's just this is one of those situations where volume and we need volume and mass in the basics before we need the silencers We need mass. We need everybody out there listening. If you had a choice you had to spend that money We're better off, the whole of the effort is better off with more people, with more ammunition. That's just the way to explain it. We are better off across the board. Now, once we get everything square to wing and achieve, say, a particular level of inventory, which by the way, we'll never really probably achieve before we get to what's happening now. then we would be able to refocus other assets and resources. But at this point in time, it does not make sense to do so for our purposes. And... Not when 556 ammo is a good price is 50 cents around. Yeah, and again, it shouldn't be there, but it's the reality we're in. Because everybody's going, everybody said, two people said the same thing today, the price of ammo, it's like, what do I do? Buy what you can and focus on the ammunition that you need based upon your choice of what you purchased already because many cases we're running to people who do have a number of weapons, but they have weapons that we already know every time. The ammunition becomes an issue. These calibers become the first thing that disappear. So my reference constantly is, well, first I ask, well, what do you need? What do you have? And so what should I buy? Well, you got two boxes. Yeah, well, usually, yeah, they usually I'll tell you what, he's really motivated people the last couple of days that I've run into. And the good thing is that they're highly excited about the idea that yes, we're going to have to, you know, pull triggers on target, do the right thing. What's interesting is that again, most of them actually have something a good quantity, but The biggest problem is asking them, do you have enough to get out of trouble? You got more enough to get into trouble, but you have enough to get back out. This is why you need a deep larder. This is why you need a deep inventory. And we need to keep building it up because this is, it's just, there isn't gonna be any more the moment that this thing kicks off. And that's the toughest thing that people right now still are not wrapping their brain completely around. When this kicks off, that's all she wrote. and we have to be able to husband and we can. We got the thinkers, they got the thinkers. I don't care what the hell the other side thinks or their belief system is. I could care less. Most important is that we, from the get-go, have a plan and that we are detailed in that plan with regard to logistics. supply and support, distribution, and also use of the weapons that we do have. And no, we don't have just one firearm. Most everybody that's out there that's got a gun and that's a patriot has got a bouquet. So everything we need to be able to keep put all of it into service. We're going to relegate certain arms to security. We are going to commit other arms to tactical combat operations, both offensive and defensive. And we have to engineer our inventory accordingly. And ammunition, ammunition, ammunition is the highest priority right now for most of you, because nobody has enough. With the exception of our friend down the road here has the three warehouses, okay? That he built because he could do it back when he had money. And after he retired and the car company basically ripped off his retirement by half. Well, if he hadn't bought that ammo, he'd be sucking vapors right now. Whereas other guys that he worked with at the big three, some blew their brains out, or I should say hung themselves, put pills, and necessarily shoot themselves. But because they were so flabbergasted that they thought they were special, the system would never screw them. They were loyal, and then when they retired and all of them got screwed at the same time, most of them couldn't take it. Which for me, no, don't go introvert, go extrovert. Take the whatever weapon you got. If you're gonna use a rope, go find one of them, put a rope around their neck and hang their ass. The ones who did it to you, okay? Not yourself. Go out and seek revenge or vendetta. Use N-U-N-Vendetta as an ally. But this is the thing, again, We have a lot of people who have been long-eyed and in some cases some people were you know laughing at them at the time You know what and nobody's laughing now The stupid ones that are laughing or like a bunch of cackling crows that are irrelevant, but for all the rest Everybody understands full well. Wow. They made the right decision Now the real quick we're almost to the top here add decisions. I mentioned classic arms They do have a couple of other ammunition deals that came in, go look at their large bore surplus ammo category. There's a number of different and not cheap. Now some of us not cheap, but if it's something that you have and it's unique and some of these things have become stupid priced, but that's inevitable, then you might want to seriously look at picking up even just a 200 round block of that ammunition. If you have a weapon right now that you don't have ammunition for, at least procure something. Don't worry about it being the best, and basically, ball is the cheapest. But you need, if you have a rifle that you got from Uncle Bob, and maybe it's like a seven millimeter Mauser, well, get yourself a 30 caliber can, and I don't care what you fill it up with, but fill that 30 caliber can up with ammo in seven Mauser. Now, to go for that, yes, they do have some over at Classic Farms, but it's not as cheap as it is over at AIM Surplus. However, AIM sells out. And if you're looking for a solution, especially since the Mauser, 7 Mauser is a lethal round. It's one of those orphan by choice things. Governments don't like to use that 7 millimeter. They'll do anything to use anything but 7 millimeter. Seriously, it's an occult thing. And just it has to be because it's the religiosity on this is that it's fascinating. Seven millimeter mouse or actually any seven millimeter round is typically quite accurate. And in fact, you'll notice that well, we didn't call it seven millimeter, but we have this new 6.8 round, which is awfully close to seven millimeter. And we just happened to embrace it supposedly. We'll see what happens with that. That's the 7.35 carcano of our era, to be quite honest. That's what I'm seeing it as. But it may stick. We'll see. Again, we're already prepared to use it ourselves. We could take it from their inventory and put it into our weapons with ease. Would not be difficult at all. We have all the machining technology worked out. We could be building barrels for pretty much whatever specific weapon we choose. and 6.8 would be used by us just as easily as the system. So that's not a problem. Plus they're beginning with their weapons. Yeah, but I'm not so sure how good either the weapons because of the problem. Or whether they have chips in them or something. Yeah, and also just the quality of the product. We're at a point where the level of intentional sabotage And, bleak and sabotage because of criminal theft of our tax dollars is the norm, not the exception. So, I'm waiting for like what happened with the M16. The bean counters got involved, but without doing any cold research. And because of that, a lot of people died. Which is a story they always want to put in their tail lights now, and you're not supposed to remember or think about. But, you know, guess what? Pepperidge Farm remembers. So did anybody who was a guy from that era, we remember. And so I'll remind you, it doesn't take much. Just takes one asset, the right place, and get a lot of people killed by, you know, choice and a brown envelope slipped under the table. Which is as likely as not to be the problem and to be the case. So again for everybody out there We'll see how that works the the 6.8 round does come in it's in two configurations as you should know The one is a grossly over complicated case, which will probably be the thing you get gets dropped And because it's a government project, they'll never acknowledge that it was a cluster screw So instead they'll just chug it along at the expense of the troops and the taxpayers and the screw us all. Well, it won't be screwing us because we're not going to be in uniform with the globalists. We're not going to fight for the new world order. We're fighting for America. But we will see those weapons and we'll probably hear about all of the problems progressively as we go down the road here. Anyway, we're at the top just about. We're going to hear the music for everybody. It is. Weapons Wednesday, Monday, Christmas, Wednesday, you know, come from your ass. It's a doll. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, speaking low to me. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave in this delicious home of the grave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land is a free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shit. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the 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 each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright, as Iowocke vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watching 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? 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, east, south, northwest, and ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we're on satellite, want to say HIDAL or Merchant Read Operators, no matter where you are, what body of water, analog or digital. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is, well, it's Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of April. It is the 16th year of open, obvious, and pissing in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with the K2024 old earth calendar. 2024 battle for the republic book one, the dance of swords. I got a cup of coffee here, I'm gonna smell. Oh, this is IHOP coffee. Oh, yeah, only because it was on sale and it was cheap. Did I buy this? And, hold on. Oh, wow. Okay, hold on. Yeah. Beautiful, beautiful. Caffeine rut. No, not that, not really. Actually, I think it should be doing it intravenously. Yeah. Hopefully things are going. Anyway, it is a beautiful day in the bottom of the state of Michigan and all over the state I think. Tomorrow is supposed to be rained on and it will be the monsoon season. We are all going to die. We're going to get rained an inch every hour, one inch to one and a half inches. Noah's flood will be here after the apocalypse. In reality, you don't know it. You're already dead. Now we're just going to be experiencing climate change hell one after another. There's a punishment for us not properly cow towing to the satanic petal queers that make up the, well, purple hair, Trotsky glass wearing satanic petal queers that make up the climate change fruit loop, not case, circle. So now we're going to be washed away. We've never seen this before, except for last year, because it is springtime and we get spring rains and we always get flooding in the bottom of Michigan because we are a lake state and we got a lot of water. and you know I've told you about the Raisin River there's a reason they called it the Raisin. During the summer it shrinks down to a pit. You can actually some spots here if you're on a little bit of a hill and there's not much of a hill in the Monroe Basin it's pretty flat as a pancake. But you're at 20 feet down 30 feet down to find the rivulet that was the river. However, this time of year, oh, if you stand there and wait, the water just rises right up to the edge of the water line. In other words, the edge of the flat land that makes up the Monroe Basin. That's why it's the dried up Raisin River that all of a sudden gets hit with the water from all these other places and all these flat spaces and it floods. It's going to flood. If it rains tomorrow, it's going to flood. before all, it's an example of climate? No, it's called weather, you ass-ass. Not you, the other ass-ass, sir. Not to me, because these little ass-ass over there, we're over here. The ass-ass are over there on the other side of the line, and we want to keep them there, and I don't want them over here with me. We've dropped the I-Q in the room very quickly. So let's make sure it doesn't happen. But we are going to get rain, and it is springtime, and you should be ready for it. It doesn't mean we aren't going to still get cool at night. And in fact, if it's medium temperatures and you got soaked to the bone, you can die from hypothermia. Oh, that's a cheerful point Mark brought forward. Yes, it's something you always need to think about. You can die from hypothermia in the middle of summer and people miscalculate and die that way all over the country at different times. It's part of life. Guess what? Don't pay attention. get bad prizes. Just that simple. Make bad decisions, get bad prizes. So pay attention, keep your wet weather gear with you. Don't forget to check and top off your tanks, your gas tanks, no matter what, because with this kind of weather, we might see electrical outages for a while. I've been going through my fuel inventory today, only because I started up all the machinery that had to be tested for the month or that we're now starting the season with. And so that's a project unto itself. I've still got a couple other pieces of equipment. I haven't even pulled the cord or hit the starter switch on yet. That'll be tomorrow even if it rains because the big building covers it all. So I can do that inside. But make a point of going over equipment, especially your generators. This is a common mistake. You should cyclically run your generator, start it up, do a system test. Let me give an example, typically by code here in Michigan, if you have an emergency generator in a regular generator, an O'Nan generator for doing emergency lights and for some other emergency service equipment. Nothing more than a V8 diesel for even the average mid-sized skyscraper, amazingly enough. Now they may have two or three, many different quadrants, but you have to cyclically start them and certify that you've started them every month. You have to do a preventive maintenance system check, and then you have to sign off on it, you have to have a log book, et cetera, if it's a piece of safety equipment. Well, that policy is not a bad policy for all of you listening to make sure that at a moment's notice, you have the ability to switch out to independent power at your choosing. But you need to have that equipment on standby. I'm probably going to break down and buy another propane natural gas and gasoline generator. There's a few that are actually reasonably priced or a little cheaper even than the one that we picked up before. It's basically the same model with another. I've already looked at them. It's the same model. A chao chu being un-cao-bai Chinese generator. Made it with American names on it that makes no difference anymore the decals come and go But the units themselves are very useful any time you get something that has another multi fuel option You should look at acquiring it And it doesn't need me to throw out what you got never get rid of what you got You've already established a system but having additional equipment in inventory is a good thing and it's an investment that is very, very useful, especially since what would I be prioritizing electrical power for if we actually lost everything? Well, to a degree, we'd use the refrigerators for as long as the stuff needed to be cooled until we consumed everything that was in that system and we'd be changing out from that. The refrigerator would be kind of a useless tool in a kitchen. But it can still be used as kind of a storage box as long as you keep the air circulating in it because you're not gonna use it for a cooling system, you're beating up or consuming too much power. But power for medical and emergency lighting, especially for medical support, is critical. I consider that the reason for having a generator. Operational security, the courtesy or the ability to charge more equipment. If you have equipment that needs to be charged, you can still do that with solar, you can do that with crank generators, all kinds of other technology. But yes, the GF, we're making your unit mobile by being able to take advantage of the modern conveniences for Harbor Long, they last, because it won't last forever. You better have a plan for replacement over a period of time and you bought time if you have spares and you pick up spare batteries, you have parts, you have antennas like for communications, etc. Your equipment will run only for so long. At a given point, it will eventually give up the ghost. You are going to have to have replacements that you are building by the time that happens. So all the technology we've acquired for our safety and security and for our comfort. In reality, should be looked at as the buying time, the window of opportunity for you to now implement the next tier in production and everybody finding their niche in production. This could be gun manufacturing, gun smithing, this could be ammunition manufacturing, could be making soap. It could be doing any number of things that right now you totally take for granted that the American infrastructure cannot provide. or won't provide because the system is waging war against you. I think one of the most fascinating elements that nobody's really thinking about, number one, people mostly stop smoking, right? How many of you are carrying fire in your pocket right now? Fire on? You know what, fire on. You can start a fire, especially if you got gasoline, with a gun. But fact is, even if you wanted to, let me point something out. If I were to go to Big Lot, let's just give an example of a simple piece of technology. It used to be if I went to Big Lot, and you all know who Big Lot is. Now it's a furniture store with a little bit of China Sport stuff in the bubble boxes. But originally when you went to Big Lot, not only could you buy matches, you could buy five or six different manufacturers of matches, American and, you know, as surplus, and China Sport stuff being brought in, including the lifeboat matches off the shelf, okay? But what about BIC lighters? Or BIC China sport copylighters? Oh, they had, I've got one still sitting here. It's got a card with 20 little micro BIC lighters made in China. What did they cost when they came in? They cost 98 cents American. for 20 mini half size. Not just, they're just scaled down all the way around. Remember those? And they were a little mini Bic lighter and it was 20 to a blister for 98 cents, which then went to $1.09, which then, you know, went up from there. But now here's the thing. Go to Big Lut and see if you can find them. In fact, go to Ollie's and see if you can find them. Go to Dollar Tree. Have you got a dollar? Yeah, think about that. I went to Ali the other day. I was like Mark's talking about that spray paint. I'm gonna go over to Ali's and see what they have. I found the aisle where the spray paint should have been. Should be. Because you could tell because all the shelves and the floor and stuff around there are all spray painted different colors because people were checking to see what the colors were. But nothing. Zero. They had latex paint and gallon cans on the floor wall, but that was it. Over. Yep. So again, see this is the thing that we, even when we're looking at it, well especially when we're looking at a distress store, and Ollie's is a distress store. It's the leftover or the end of or something that they marketed that didn't work. A lot of the stuff I love, like in the foods, I wish to God I'd picked up a ton more of the lime hot sauce that they had that was, it was, there's two or three different brands. But it's a lime chile hot sauce that was just mad. It's perfect. I've made blends like it, but off the shelf for a few pennies, I can't beat that. And that's another thing that a big lot used to come in by the pallet. And they had tons of it and 20 different manufacturers. Now, if you go out to find those Bic Lighters or Mini Bic Lighters or Matches, go try a dollar tree and see what's on the shelf. You know what? The BIC gliders are up by the cash registers with most everyone I've gone to and you get three to a card for $1.25. Now, the other thing taking into consideration, I mean you got head smoke shops, tobacco shops. They also usually provide paraphernalia for people who feel that they need to drop out of life and not have a grasp of reality. But what's interesting is that at least there you can find something to start stuff up because it's what they sell. I mean, that's the only thing they market. They're doing tobacco products and other stuff. So they need things. They need flame. So you will at least find a solution there. But in a matter of minutes... That one item just being able to have fire in your pocket fire at your disposal I know how to use a steel and a and a spark stick all day Okay, I you know I can do that the moment I've got 20 models sitting right here in a box within five feet of where I'm sitting in a you know Separate that are going into backpacks when the time comes through with the next batch of backpacks. I'm loading So I know all about using the steel and I know the strikers work, but that's not the point. It's the idea what's a lot easier is flick and burn and there's a niche because you see down the road and I'll give an example is another area is because you can go to that smoke store now would be a good time to invest in a Zippo. Or a knockoff simple but a zippo why because it is a rebuildable traditional reusable Very efficient fire starter Used to be everywhere. I have zippos and I never smoke I think I used to buy zippos because people would ask me to when I was in the military You know, they still got that deal with the PX. He used to have Well, yeah, Zippos, you want one with the unit marker on it? Yeah, tell me which one you want. And so whenever I went to Fort Benning or if I went down to, what else, let's see where else we go, Fort Ord, I went out to Fort Ord and just said, hey, you're going to Fort Ord, they got a great commissary and PX. Here's a list. And half of the people were asking for Zippo lighters. They wanted a particular logo, each school has their own zippos. And so I'd be leaving the unit, go out to that location. One of the things I do is go over to the PX, go over to the commissary, go down my shopping list, go over to the clothing sales, which is totally separate and a lot cheaper. I go over to clothing sales, grab the stuff there, and that way nobody else had to make 20 trips, or 20 people didn't make 20 trips. One guy made all the trips. But Zippos are another thing if you do get a Zippo you want to get more flints Yes, you can cannibalize the flints out of those Bic gliders. I do If I see a Bic lighter laying on the ground and it got crushed Uncle Mark picks it up. Why? Well, the same basic flint is in the Bic lighter that got crushed so that little head you take that thing apart and lo and behold that little flint is which if I had to make it would waste too much of my time. But if I can pick something up for free and put it in my little lighter kit, my fire kit, which I have one, I have a little shoe box size container. In fact, oh, I can actually see it. It's black at the top, it's clear plastic on the bottom, and it's spare parts for those little Zippo lighters and for the Bic lighters. And I think I even have right now I can see two holes in there. One of them doesn't look pretty. It went through Hades. It's been beat, scuffed, and left out in the weather. But you know what? It's all one piece, and it works, and it comes apart, so I didn't throw it away. I can put it there. Might be the last thing we have. Flick, flick. I pick up every big lighter I find on the ground, whether it's a lot of people just drop and they've got their life full of fluid. But the ones that are empty, It pays to be a firebug when you're a kid to learn how to start fires and stuff You can grind that flint on that lighter and grind it and grind it grind it make a tiny little Pile of flint powder and then you hit it with the real spark that thing goes right up now obviously it's not that you want to do in a windstorm, but Very effective and you get at least two or three good Chances at a fire out of out of a used pick lighter obviously the used ones have less flint than the old ones I don't know why they still make those flints that big in there they are pretty large so you know you never get that much use out of the lighter before the Butane's gone and you stuck with three-quarters of flint left over I think it's just the old story they've made it this way forever with the with the original design and the machinery would require too much in the way of tooling for what is a small cost item. So they bite the bullet on the material that they use as opposed to paying the money for the reconstruction of the, maybe the tubular guide that squeezes the play dough material into place once it's been made into the paste and then reintroduced into form and then heat treated or baked or whatever they do. So it's probably just cheaper and easier to run it the way it is. That's 90% of everything we're seeing right now is just purely, the only reason it's running is because somebody in the 70s or 60s figured out how to make it work. I'm serious. There is very little of anything. In fact, even the electronic cars are just a rehash of three generations of electric car proposals that took place and died because they just don't work the way they did. I don't have a problem with having an electric car. I was even thinking it'd be cool if it was all for just close stuff. It's because it's a novelty. That would be if I had that kind of if I if I thought that that would be useful or I could get it for free almost Yeah, maybe but I would it would be your local closed car. You can't take it across the state You don't want to take it across. You sure as hell don't want to take it across the country. You'd be crazy to do that But for you know close quarter use which put which takes wear and tear if you got it for free or almost free And it would take wear and tear off of my internal combustion vehicle so I could use them for my medium and long hauls Then it makes sense that way Okay, but all this technology everything we're seeing everything in technology pretty well died in the 70s Computers haven't gotten better. There's nothing that's, there's, the only thing that they've done is been able to perfect to make, for instance, we have digital drives now. Well, what are they? We've just expanded the different components to the point where we can make a digital equivalent, but it's basically a RAM module is what it comes down to. So we made a RAM modules big enough that they actually are like little computers under themselves. and you alleviated a certain amount of pressure there to produce a better quality or a high quality drive, which they still do, they make standard drives. But when you look at all of this technology, everything died in the 70s. The public fool system did exactly what it was supposed to do. It destroyed most of the education base. The mechanical world, we have no great projects. We're terrified of having to build that stupid bridge that just was taken down by whatever sabotage. And when we are talking about it, the price is so crazy that the only reason it makes sense is because of the graft and corruption cycle of the mutated alien government that we have now. And by the way, we shouldn't be building it anyway, because in the real world, if you hit somebody else's car, you are your insurance and you pay for it. And in this case, somebody who is alien to our country hit our bridge, the state shouldn't be paying to build the bridge. The Fed shouldn't be paying to build the bridge. The person who used their car to run over my fence is the one who fixes my fence. And the person who ran over our bridge and the people that work for them, that company should be paying for the fixing of that bridge. But there's an example of insanity, stupidity, laziness, and graft and corruption. And the same is true with every other aspect of what we're looking at. There are no, even when people yap a bit, that's why I keep laughing about this. Like, it's Weapons Wednesday. Well, you need a modern rifle like the AR-15. Yeah, you mean the 50-year-old rifle that you're talking about? No, it's the modern rifle. The M14 is old and blah, blah, blah. Well, the M14 is only slightly older. And the AK is also a dinosaur now. And any AK variant is still a dinosaur. And most everything else that they've come up with, there are so many weapons that have come and gone since, and even then we can't, I mean, M16 works because we just keep throwing enough working knowledge at something. You make anything work, you just keep, keep chewing at it, okay? No matter how abysmal some ideas or parts of the idea might be. Well, that's what they did with the M16. He just kept throwing, throwing resources at until we squared it away. Now Stoner had the right idea when he first came up with it and told them how to build it. They didn't build it the way he told them to. They didn't load the ammunition the way he told them to. And the end result is a lot of people died, which they don't want to talk about, as I said earlier in the program. They don't want to remind you that one of the reasons that, remember, we were soldiers, that the second half of the book is not presented in that movie because that was only half of the debacle, which turned out to be okay, because at least they were able to extract themselves, go in, do their job, extract themselves. But the other half of that book and the other half of that story, which made the Eyed Rangs so famous, is the destruction with reckless abandon that happened next. And part of it was because of issues with the M16 rifle. Which was proven beyond a shadow of doubt and I remember it like yesterday and I even have boast everything on the shelf See when you can burn the books and then put it on computers you can lie everybody's ass over and over again and even try to Make people who have no clue weren't even from the era tell you all about how you don't know what you're talking about when well I recall and in fact, I think I took all of the classes especially the classes courses and classes on things that you they were not happy about Weekly chocolate rations have been increased to 25 grams. Yeah, just like they promised. They said 40 grams. Don't talk about that. Yeah, it's Arwell, 1984. But anyway, the whole point here is that the reason I bring this subject up is, guys, there are so many things that will make an economy in America grow. And we're the ones who have at our fingertips the ability to do this. The first aspect is looking at what it is that's going to be a, it is easily a useful product. And again, it's useful, it's just that they've tried to make sure that they could take it out of society's reach because in and of itself, each of these items we're talking about significantly change your environment and your ability to do things. And if this is something that, well, if you remember, the Commies finally came out with their statement about the agenda. You will own nothing and you will be happy. Well, you also have nothing. You won't have, you will own nothing, but you also won't have it. You just won't have, you'll be allowed to have. And this, and now you're definitely talking. You'll be happy or we'll kill you. Right, well, which means we have to kill them first. You know, we have to, we are going to have to get rid of and exterminate the people that are bringing this to, you know, to our people. It's going to have to happen. got to fight a war got a fight a war for independence we are going to have to fight to win and that means you all need to know how to fight that means embrace every aspect of military science that you can develop skills beyond what you already possess and constantly read constantly fo- anything you can do to accumulate knowledge By observing that also in and of itself, part of that might be put into the memory pan. There's all kinds of great videos on how to that are out there. That's where the audio visual tool is useful. If you stay away from the junk and focus on just the phenomenal database that's out there with people who are honest or, you know, again, to the best of their ability or presenting the information and typically will also acknowledge there's maybe more that I don't know, but this is what I've experienced. That's good. We need more of that. They're trying to exclude as much of that as possible. The public fool system didn't provide it. The public fool system's job is to basically keep everybody at about grade school level right up to the graduate they're graduating from high school. And most people can't read and write coming out of a big chunk, can't read and write coming out of quote unquote high school, having been handed a diploma. So I would say that if that is happening, it's the way that the public fool system wants it to be. They're not fixing that they want it which tells you that you your enemies are in the public fool system Yeah, and are behind it so I'll tell you this is a sidebar I got into engineering guys I had to fight uphill because I had before you heard about this new the other the other you know crazy math They came up with they used to call that new math. I had that And it's funny because even as they were doing this, it's like this crap is wrong. And the good thing is I collected books. Even when I was, I go way back, I was a bookworm in grade school. I was rummaging through the collections that were being thrown out from all the old mansions in Ann Arbor when they would go to the Kiwanis sale. And there would be one dumpster, just be books. And I'd have to stack boxes up to get inside. And I'd be throwing books over on the edge of that. You couldn't throw them because they're antiques, many of them. But my math collection is what saved me. Pre-1900 math text, I actually was looking, studying, reading, and I was like, hey, wait a minute. OK, this is fascinating. And I could sit down and relate to that and understand. And I think that is one of the reasons that when they tried to pour that new math crap into our heads, that I kept doing the Norman coordinate thing. And my dad, of course, had a few conversations with me, but then he looked at what they were doing, and then he had a bunch of conversations with the school. Because again, I will point out, my dad was a tool and dime, was a qualified, trained, and educated tool and dime man, along with many other skills. And if you don't have a command of math, that job doesn't work. And your enemies knew this. This is why I've said they hockey puck this country up. And we went into brain fart in the 1970s and we still have not recovered from that. All we're doing is mimicking. I think the closest thing to some form of major leap was done by a guy named Elon Musk with his crazy town space program, which he's landing spacecraft the way they did in the 1950s. And everybody's, he's having a hoot with that. And that the very way that they claimed it couldn't be done, it's been done. He's doing it. You can stand there and watch the equipment take off and it come down. Even if it didn't leave the atmosphere, they're all going into space. It is fascinating that he got the technology to work and you can physically watch it happen. You can go stand there and watch it happen. Again, sidebar, we're not rocket scientists. We're worth looking at right now dealing with saving the country and saving our lives. To do that, we have to be effective combat infantrymen. We have to be militiamen first. Organize army equipment, train as militia. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations. Logistics is the key to victory. Know how to get it where you need it and have it when you need it. Most important here too is being a militiamen is a natural part of our American heritage It's something that the pricks especially if you go like Google's doing all these inserts Why is America embraced guns and there's this whole diatribe what tells you they know that full well that they can bark all they want But until they disarm the population which isn't gonna happen because we're gonna put their ass down They can't get past us without a fight And they got the panty ways. Now they got wicked people. They've got evil wicked people who kill you dead. Don't you make any mistake about that. Don't you ever think I'm gonna tell you it's gonna be easy. Oh no. Any idiot with a gun. You know, while any purple haired fruit loop, queers the $3 bill, put new uniform, kind of nutcase, could kill you just by happenstance if nothing else. Maybe just that stupid lucky shot. I've told you before, death on the battlefield through the fickle finger of fate is very common and most common. But If you focus on the art, if you understand the science of the military science, and what needs to be applied to just part of the natural birthright and the balance of nature that allows us to be able to step up to the plate, deliver coercive force where it needs to be delivered, execute the actions as needed, accomplish the task, achieve victory, and then get the hell back to what we're supposed to do. That's why the militia is supposed to be in place, not this massive stinking army that we've got now. grossly over expensive resource that is bleeding the country while we're busy being an Imperium all over the planet and we don't really need to be. It's been demonstrated it's obvious the wealth is available in this country to get the job done. We just saw a little taste of it here and it did not require constant flexing of military muscle. It doesn't mean that we shouldn't have it, but we should be distributed in the checks and balances system the way it was supposed to be where the states have their resources. The Fed has a limited resource and the American people are as well-armed and are as well-equipped and have the working knowledge so that between those three legs, each one keeps in check and balance the other. So that one, no matter what crazy town character shows up, one way or another, the ability to wheel course and force puts them back in their seat. And most importantly, it's supposed to be in our hands first, and you people are responsible for that. That's your job. That's what your job is supposed to be and it's not a Specialty thing that we just pull out once in a while was supposed to be part of our life's experience so that we are never caught flat-footed never a Flat and you know flat-footed in the field Unsuspecting of the threat as Don used to say your weapons it should appear as if your weapons virtually leapt to your hand That's how it should be truly. Tell you what, before we go any farther, always wait till five minutes after the bottom of the arc, because Ed probably is waiting with the finger on the trigger. It's Weapons Wednesday. We have the bottom of the hour traditional Weapons Wednesday break. And so step one is going to be that hopefully. And again, it is Weapons Wednesday on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com and LibertyTreeRadio.org. And remember, this is my rifle. Uh oh. He's working on it. Guys, I'm less and less, I keep laughing more and more because the technology, just like everything else, the quality of operating the technology has gone so much into the toilet where the secret police focus more on collecting nonstop to the point where they interfere the entire system. But what's comical about this because they're self-serving and because the secret police state is 90% of the burden on every aspect of communications. I don't care if it's phones, I don't care if it's cell phones, I don't care if it's computer to the point where they utterly disrupt the ability for anybody to communicate. So it's irrelevant that they're collecting. It's a moot point. If the system is so planet crapoo, then eventually, and this is what's really happening a lot, with the people I gave classes to last weekend, Everybody kind of acknowledged that when it comes to using cell phones for communications for like the medical units, throw it out. All like the idea of any kind of middleman piece of technology is useless in the future that we face. It absolutely is useless. So everybody is now realizing that because they've made it so impossible to use, everybody is now forced to face reality, get into the real world, and use real technology that is useful for the threat that is present to deal with it. So I love the fact, you know, they're putting their finger in the spokes constantly. Oh, you can't say this. Well, then we'll just step away from the computers. You aren't going to hear what we're saying because we're going to talk to each other over here. How's that sound? What? Well, you can't do that. You're supposed to sit here at the keyboard and be frustrated and go, but no, I'm old enough to remember what all this crap didn't exist. Watch this. Power off, power off, power off. And look at this. I got a whole pile of the technology here. The bad guys aren't in the middle of it. They can't control it. And when they want to, by the time they do it will be too late anyway. And by the way, we can also do without that. We don't need that either. There was an argument I had years ago about the computers in the mechanical world where they're absolutely useless and nothing but a time waster. Here's why. Tradesmen and skilled labor individuals do not have a secretary in a backpack. And the only reason that management and government wants everything on computer is because they are anal retentive control freak asshats who want to know everything so they can figure out how to backstab you, take you out of the loop, find something that they can, you know, they can make a brownie point by getting rid of you and finding somebody they can get to do it like the illegal aliens to replace you. Look what happened like with a low tech answer to that with the chicken butcher shop with Tyson's. All these individuals who are skilled laborers because they know how to whip a chicken apart in 15 seconds, their ass all got fired so they could bring the illegals in. Now somebody got some brownie points, a squeeze on the ass, and a pat on the head for doing that, but in the long run, they hockey puck the business. But do they care? No, because they're shoe size IQ ass hats that are the ones that are in management. that are the ones who have taken charge, quote unquote, because the purple here is tannic, you know, petal freaks. They're more concerned with whether or not they can close the door and diddle each other behind closed door in the boardroom and do it in a very queeric, satanic and pedic fashion rather than, you know, with the actual job. So with all of these tasks, a simple manual system of accounting, which does require, oh, some paperwork, a paper, piece of paper, was much more efficient. Took less time Allowed for greater productivity which has gone through it gone into the basement every aspect of right now what what through through the system Which has to do with the everybody needs to be able to see what you're doing So we can figure out how to get rid of you job, you know get rid of you system the computers Anybody who dumps that and goes back to like I've said many times an American management system Will kick ass take names run circles around the enemy be ten times as productive And in fact, we also find a happier work environment and with no distractions because that is the biggest problem we have right now. The best thing that could happen for us, which maybe this is going to be the solution is cell towers all do need to be gone. We wouldn't really I mean we used to do pretty good communicating without them and actually I think we did a better job and people were able to relate to each other Associate better with each other. We were more productive. We were more more of a society The systems have not improved our lives in that respect just a reverse so again Be prepared. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. When the system goes off, our systems are going on and they're going to continue to function in their present capacity until the threat increases. And then we already have a plan to alter our technology or negate it completely in favor of real world analog use of whatever systems are available. What I mean by analog is, you know, small arms fire, grenades. Another paraphernalia technology applied using the most sophisticated battlefield computer on the planet, your brain. Now, prefer to your brain not having been shot up with the murder, death, kill, suicide shots that the government provided. Most of those people are not going to be as useful to us as they used to be, if they're useful at all. May not be applying to the project anyway, but the fact of the matter is that we're just 20, we're actually 20 steps ahead of them in this race. You ever thought about that? Well, Joe, step back and think for a minute about that. We realize how far ahead of the game all of you are. All the everybody else is having to play catch up with every what everybody in the Patriot movement has already known for how many years. For most of us, it's almost there's this I know a lot of people do a kind of a, well, look, we discovered somebody else will say that we're going. Yeah, we knew that 30 years ago. Told you about that 30 years ago, 40 years ago, there's people that told you about 50 years ago told everybody. They were ridiculed. You guys all hate being ridiculed. Don't worry. We're adults. We put up with even more ridicule than you could possibly imagine. That's why all the petty little, petty waste, you know, idiot sticks you have out there now. I would love to have a screamer in front of me, wouldn't you? What would you do? Let me ask everybody something. The latest, well it's not the latest, it's been around for a while. The lesbian, effeminate screamer, you know, doing the, what would you do? With a person like that I'd bust out laughing I have a battle voice. I have a battle voice. Don't you? Oh, I'll watch your battle cry. Okay, so the scream is the battle cry. Right, since we're gonna do the screamy thing. Let me show you how that works In other words you treat them if you're gonna go Aboriginal and you're gonna go into animal mode We're the predators Aren't we? We're the evil, wicked, horrible, heterosexual, white male predators. We're predators. Well, we're sheepdogs. Yeah, we're the sheepdogs. We really do not. I can do that. I can do that better than you can. People think that sheepdogs are like docile animals. They will kill you a new butthole. Anybody ever deal with a Polish, what is it, the Polish Wolfhound? Well, a Polish, they're the Polish Sheepdog. We've got some in the area here. There's a person that does videos of the dog going after the coyotes because the coyotes, we have coyotes all through the area here. And there's some really great videos on YouTube about that. And that's what I've been watching there. and they work together and they're smart. They know what the hell is going on. The people don't even put doors on the barn because they want to let the goats let themselves out in the morning. With those three dogs out there, they don't have any concern whatsoever. What's really fascinating is that one dog, they go out after the coyotes and they're actually tearing coyotes apart in some cases. But the one senior dog in this one will come back and does a head count of all of the livestock. It's on camera, you can watch it. He comes in, the first thing he does is check the babies, check the little baby goats. And he looks wherever they're all hiding because he hears the coyotes. Well, that's what we are. We're the sheepdogs. We're actually the warrior. If you want to get primordial and you think your primordial effeminate screen is impressive, I will teach you about this. We can shout back and forth. I've got a set of lungs. I've learned to be able to project myself. We would have fun with that. Remember, if I was to poke them with the bayonet, they're going to get a lot higher pitched than that. Well, no, the idea is that meanwhile, in between, I would bring forward all of my Barnacle Bill the Sailor vocabulary. You need to become the barking drill sergeant. I've said this many times. Where the hell did the drill sergeants go? Where did the hell did the sergeants go? It is part of our problem with our society right now because everybody is so effeminate in that respect with regard to the way men normally interacted. Men don't have to bark or shout at each other, but everybody accepts the idea. And I've heard this term. Our militia commands, while we certainly have an officer structure that's elected, It's a straw boss system. I've called it a straw boss system many times and most people understand what that means. A straw boss is we have a job, we have a task before us. This individual is in charge. He may not be the individual in charge with the next task even though he has a particular position. But for this time, and because everybody has understood and agreed as men, we have a mutual concern or mutual liberty interest. This is the straw boss who was assigned to take charge of this task. That is the voice. That is the mind. Everybody listen to that person. Hey Mark. That's us. That's why we can do better. We can fight better. Because we don't have the prima donna or the effeminate BS going on that you see. You use harsh noisyness. Why are you barking at, I wasn't even barking, you just assert yourself. People are terrified of the idea or you're supposed to apologize for the idea that somebody better lead follower and get the hell out of the way. I could use more French and that third word would be lead follower or get the Din Bin hockey puck foo out of the way. But that's how it works. And this is why, like I said, being decisive in all aspects, but especially dealing with these fruit lips now, nah, we should be barking their ass down. No, don't you go anywhere. Don't you leave. I enjoyed this. If half of my night, if I'm going to be talking in front of an audience and I've got a bunch of harpies, oh, harpies, get back here. Where do you think you're going? This is fun. I can actually bust, you know, I can break out a little bit. I'm able to enjoy myself. This is great. Come on, scream some more. Come on, I want to see that. And then, by the way, if I really got pissed, I'd still break out the 2x4 and beat your ass down. Just as a sidebar, of course. Go ahead, call her, jump in there, please. Hey, Mark, this is John from Kentucky. I think the dog you were talking about is the Great Pyrenees. Pyrenees? I think it's the word pronounced. It's one of the Pyrenees, yeah. Yeah, the Polish are all white. A friend of mine has two of them. If they stand directly to attention, their head isn't about breast height. They're big dogs. They're not necessarily real heavy, but they're big dogs. And they're impressive to watch too. And again, well, it's like... Any big dog, if you're lucky, they're a gentle giant, because if they were, any, typically one person handles them if they're one of the more aggressive breeds. That's the only problem with having that kind of dog. In the sheep and the shepherd types, the good thing is that they're committed to the herd, so then, of course, needless to say, you're still the alpha controller, the alpha male alpha, and there's an alpha female. So mom and dad control the pack, which is the owners. And again, they can be moved sideways to somebody else handling them, but you have to familiarize them because their first concern is that they've attached themselves to breeding, their genetic engineering and where they stand in the culture to protecting the flock. Most of them around here sleep with the sheep or the goats, you know, and guard 24-7. We've got one guy down the road here has a flock of sheep. They're literally out by the road and that dog is there every day, non-stop, rain or shine. The wet doesn't bother because he'll always stand in the door, always sit in the door, he'll get back, but he will never stop or break guard, which I think is impressive. They're fantastic animals. And, needless to say, they take care of the family the same way they take care of the flock. which is another good thing. It's a weapon, a defensive weapon. Another set of eyes and ears with better nose than you have. Sniff, sniff. Anyway, we're almost to the top and it is weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon, but remember protect it physically or your mind means nothing if it's your head's turned into a canoe because you thought you could relate to someone and try to play the 1960s, 70s relate game. Yeah, anybody see the latest I don't know it's just the latest batch of images Whatever the drug is and I know that there are several It literally is about as zombie-esque as you can get with regard to the when the stuff kicks in with these individuals But the one I know I was mean the guy has got his leg out right leg out like he's a zoop suitor from the old Zippo You know the old Zippo comics, you know, where you know, keep on trucking anybody remember the keep on trucking cartoon logo The guy's got one leg extended like he's making a step. The other leg is bent, the left leg is bent, he's angled back. One arm is out in one direction, he's got a pop and he's not losing the pop in the other. Head is rolled back and the first thing I thought is, well, it's 2024. He's probably, he probably was originally with the Michael Jackson Thriller Group for the theatrical, you know, the theatrical filming and He still lives the moment even though it's been many years and he's retired. But he's a thriller, a thriller. Now, oh, that's mean. Yeah, but otherwise, the dudes. The fact that people allow themselves to go around the corner that far with no real reason for doing so is, to me, again another example of a sin. I'm not talking about everybody else standing around that person. I think the person themselves, however it is that they were talked into by the social wars of society, a horrific waste of a good, of a, what is a gift from God, a perfect body. I'm sorry, I have, I don't have respect for that. I don't, and I'm not going to apologize to anybody about that either in terms of, that's a, you're, you're hockey fucked up. There's a problem with you. And it's disgusting to see that we as a society have allowed this to go this far by letting people manipulate our population to the point where it's happening to the degree that it has. However, I would say this, that in all of my life, I have watched wave after wave of this stupidity. And I think we've had enough and we need to shoot the asshats out of here. The people that are doing this to our people need to be gone. And you can't have a conversation and you're not gonna be able to lock them up. They need to be gone. There's been wave after wave take your pick what jet what what era have we not had a de sure drug? That has been brought in by the same clique of sickle fans over and over again now The latest thing they've turned to is that while they're bringing a drug in the same parasitic small hat wearing sickle fans are Manipulating a legion an army millions of people across our border and in the process both invading and using the same process of introducing these drugs for the purpose of manipulating and damaging our society. They need to be gone. I mean, you're at the point where it's like I said, what are you going to do? The arrogance level is such, and it's not accidental there. People go, well, they want a war. No, they're like King George in 1775. He thought he wanted a war too. In fact, King George arrogantly made comments. If you think that somehow all the BS that they've tried to smear over the actual history of the American war for independence, that, you know, all this all just happened so quick and it was a shock to everybody. Really? Read more. The King of England was bragging that he was intentionally poking at the population because he wanted to steal the wealth of North America and subjugate North America by breaking the contracts that were binding between the Crown, the Bank of England, and all of the Jewish mob that ran that, and the people who had settled in the colonies. That's what they're trying to do right now. Social Security is being stolen and given to somebody else. Taxation without representation was compounded to the point where they created this system that they have built up so far that they need desperately to erase it. They are hoping that in a total confusion of knee-jerk reaction, the population would mindlessly destroy itself. Instead, the American people, as before 1775, have demonstrated a tremendous restraint that is frustrating to the small-minded sycophants, the sociopaths, and the satanic pedo queers that make up the Legion on the other side who were told that this is how they're going to get it done. They are frustrated. We are not. We are not reactive. We are responsive. We are thoughtful, we are methodical, and if we have to wage war, we're not waging war for the fun of it, although I will enjoy myself in the process, because I have, there is a wicked streak in all of us, but I understand full well that we have to play this particular series of cards very, very specifically. All of you, I need your help. Organize, arm, equip, and train as militia. Take seriously your responsibility to develop your skills. Help to build others. Recruit one person this week. One, not 10, not 20, not 50. There's people that are doing this in all walks of life right now. In Michigan, like I've said, people ask, well, you know about so and so. Guys, there's millions of people in Michigan. Many of us do not communicate intentionally because we have been all working in different spheres of interest. At given points, this all rolls out to where people find out more about the other parts of the infrastructure. And this is why I've said there are many elements that are all working towards the same goal. And no, they don't need to be under one umbrella. You don't need to be under one umbrella. I'd rather have 15 different formations with 15 different philosophies about how to fight than everybody on the same page right now. You wonder why? Because we are totally unpredictable. The basics... are the most critical component here right now. The advanced ideas of how to fight, guys, the beginning of the American War for Independence, many, many, many independent militia forces existed and each had developed their own theorem and area of expertise. This is why eventually, yes, we did have artillery. Why? Some men focused on that as militia, even though there were other areas of interest that were simpler and easier to embrace. But the reason they did it is the overall understanding that we needed all of this different technology and we needed different ideas. Go ahead. I heard what you're saying. But Biden, Biden, he used to teach constitutional law and the Second Amendment and you couldn't have canons. Right. Right. Everybody, by the way, I just remember that. Go ahead. Do you remember the way it was probably back in 2010 when Obama was out shooting that black powder rifle? And you could tell how much of a faggot he was just by the way he was holding it? And they like under-loaded and stuff. And people ran about 500 memes on him with that rifle because these people don't have any idea what firearms are, what they do. All they know is gun scary, gun scary, must get rid of it. Over. Except for the guns, except for they will hire gun scary carriers to be used on the rest of the population. So, they understand the use of force as a manipulative tool and cannot understand that we wield force as a restrictive tool to put government in check. I recall when Clinton first got in office, I'm not sure if it was him or his wife, but they were walking across the lawn at the White House and the Jets went over. And they were like, I think it was Hillary because she's a crush. They were lamenting that the Air Force and the other advisor there said, but those are our planes now. Suddenly it was all better. Yeah. Well, we're at the top for everybody out there, guys. Craig for forbidden knowledge. I will get this right. From forbidden knowledge is coming up next. It is Wednesday. For all of you again, ammunition is the priority, but also understanding, working knowledge. The fire team and a squad can be built. The basic squad is the most critical component. The individual is first. Fire teams and squads can be configured in different ways based upon different levels of experience and working knowledge. Your era and experience in the military to dictate your belief system, typically. But it doesn't make any difference. I could take 10 squads. or forgive me, four squads with four different training concepts, but still with a basic understanding. And within each of those squads, it would perform their task splendidly. I don't need to micromanage the squad, provided the squad knows how to operate within the platoon. And those 10 men could be trained totally differently from maybe, oh well, the next squad might have eight. They shouldn't, they should have 10. We're not a distressed military that can't recruit enough people, that's why they went to eight. Okay, because they're short manpower, but they wanted to create the illusion they still had the same size military. Germany did the same thing at the end of World War II. And America's been doing that for quite some time. Not because we couldn't use a 10-man squad, it's because we couldn't afford to set up a 10-man squad. We reduced it, therefore spreading the manpower out over a wider area and creating the illusion that we still have the same number of combat units in the field. We did, but not the same fighting force. However, you look at it, work towards the goal of becoming a master of the trade in whatever area of speciality you choose. Anyway, we should be hearing the music. I am not hearing the export, the outbound. Hold on. Hopefully, we're still hooked up. I often question this. You are five by five, sir. We're still here as far as I know. Okay, so again Craig from forbidden knowledge. I don't know why I have a problem with that word today. We'll be coming up. Also a reminder before we're ready for other two, magazines. ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com ApexGunParts.com Go take a look on their main page. They've got a couple of extension deals. You go into the body of the website. There's a whole bunch of interesting stuff there right now in odd weapons that you may have. And again, they do have a bunch of the set me mags back in stock. I don't know how many. Again, they can sell out pretty quick, but they have a regular source for those. So if you're looking for the steel 556 set me mags, They do have them back in stock. They are under $10 apiece. Every once in a while they put them on a deal. I think they might be right now. You'll have to check. Also, I had a bunch of people asking about 22 ammunition. Of course, I don't have any special lead on that. You're going to have to do the search the way everybody else does. 22 ammunition used to be a, you know, dive a dozen bucket item, but that is not the case anymore. Try that. Anyway, we... Yeah, AmelSeek is still the best option. AmelSeek does come in. Yeah, one of the other things I would remind everybody though can up at least the 22 ammo with regular ammo They said that they'll never leave, letting me make you wanna heal. I won't go away. MSA. Through the mist with his clothes torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the life brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be... 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? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch 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? Landed this is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories North West Southeast and Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com Liberty Tree radio.org And we're on the satellite. We'll say hi to all our merchant radar operators out there. My web body of water you are on this evening. Broadcasting or receiving both analog or digital. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside the United States to include WBCQ, the planet. And that is 6.160 regular shortwave. And for our friends out there, again, it is Well, it's the last hour of the three-hour block for the intel report, but it's weapons Wednesday. It is the 10th of April. It is the 16th year of 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 swords. and let the dance continue. And we have been busy. It is, of course, the end of the day. We're supposed to be getting rain tomorrow. Doom, rain, remember everything is doom now. Nothing can just be regular. It's all catastrophe, disaster, you know, panty waste, effeminate, doom. doing weather because that's what you get with the climate scam slash just like the coronavirus murder death kill shot scam. Lots and lots and lots of passionate fear. And again, man up, let's make sure that we understand it's springtime. Just a little hint there. With spring we get rain. Could be French. I guess you could put me on the end of it somehow. I suck the blur. Anyway, it is again Wednesday, Weapons Wednesday. Couple things here real quick. This is interesting because there was a big to-do to go from standard slings to two-point, well, which are two-point slings actually, three-point slings and then four-point quad slings. Now, the quad-slaying thing, I don't think is completely disappeared. It's just that, you know, it's like adding extra blades to your razor. Of course, what used to be a Saturday Night Live joke about the five-bladed or nine-bladed razor is not a reality. So you see, if you wait long enough, things come around. But, uh... There's a complete school of thought which I think you'll eventually see rediscovered and I've talked about this many times on the air. How about no slang at all? Now, I understand the use for slang. But if you're from the Vietnam War era, there were two schools, slang or slingless. And one group, which is how people were arbitrarily trained in the military, depending on what year you were in service, but also who you served with. The philosophy of no sling dictated that you had to maintain control of your weapon. Now I know the point here is that, well, mark, you could lose control of your weapon. And then the sling is, of course, there to help, you know, remain in control to a degree by being able to recover the weapon. Yep, I understand how that works. But the argument here, it was another thing that could just hang up on you. It was another thing that could get in the way. Remember, we've talked about this the last couple of days, okay, about stuff dragging on you, okay? But the other issue was forcing the individual to stay in control of their weapon. That was really the number one issue. That was the thing that they were concerned with, is being able to maintain control of your weapon, know where your weapon is at all times. Well, if it's stuck to my chest, I can't lose it in theory, but it becomes another cumbersome artifact or artifice depending upon the situation. And again, remember, if you were out in the open, we just came out of a conflict that for the most part kept you in open spaces, policing operations, etc. And it's just the nature of the beast. It's the nature of what we were experiencing, the services experienced within the last, what, 10, 20, now 30 years. weren't any triple canopy rain forests or anything like that, but for that matter there wasn't even that much temperate of forestation to worry about. And since vehicles and moving cross-country, you know, vehicles being the dominant moving cross-country not, everybody broke away from the idea that, well, maybe you have to take into consideration cross-country long terrain use, and all the things that can go wrong or things that can beat up on you after a while. So we're gonna see this, I believe, pretty quick as soon as we start getting into a real conflict that's gonna be very dynamic in terms of how many different types of and But eventually if they do propaganda pieces, the Ann or Hollywood pieces, there will be a whole discussion about this. And then they will be ridiculing the guys with the multi slings eventually and how they were so passe and these guys were so enlightened. It's what they play. It's part of the game that's played constantly. And it's something that everybody should know better, but not considering the way the public fool system teaches people, it doesn't teach them to step back and think. It's coming, it's not an if, I think it's just a when. But as far as using a sling, for the most part I don't attach a sling, I use a sling, I ought to use the sling with long range rifle marksmanship. I have used it many times, I would use it in the future. But I also have the ability because of the nice little quick releases and around the slings to take them off at my discretion or apply them as needed for stability purposes. I'm getting older. I have been older for a long time as a matter of fact. So I understand that I'm going to have to make sure that if I'm going to hit what I'm aiming at, I have to have proper support. And the sling provides part of that structural support if you have already been trained to use the weapon with the standard two-point conventional sling. Now I've got both leather and canvas and nylon and there are different effects with each. That's something you do need to understand. There is a give factor, stretch factor with each or the lack thereof. And this is especially critical to understanding how you have to individually adjust the sling for your personal musculature, otherwise you get a little more slop than you want as far as motion. And that's something that each individual has to tune up their equipment to their personal needs. So you can't just do, you can do it last minute. I can't say you can't, you can do anything last minute. But why wait until you, you know, all of a sudden you need to apply the science, wait until the last minute to figure out how to make things work and to build what you need. With the M1A kits, M1A rifle, typically I've put together a cheek rest, the standard add-on M1D grand type for the M1A slash the M14. In addition to that, needless to say, a scope mount. All M14s are built with a scope mount option that's integral part of the rifle. Option would be to go with, of course, night vision, thermal, or a conventional optic. long-range optic because it's a 308, 7.62x51 NATO, I can reach farther. I want to reach farther and I'm going to hit you better at farther range. So I want to make sure I've got the optics to match up for the mission, okay? So a long-range, little better quality optic is a good choice, but at least a standard piece of glass of some kind. In addition to that, again with the slings, I have both the standard M19 41 leather, actually it's basically the M1938. There's six different leather configured belts, if you didn't know, that were developed. Each one actually is useful unto itself. The last model or the model that was standard for most of World War II basically developed as we went, just as we went into the war. There was a big competition, yeah, you mean in slings? No, rifle sights. And here's another thing, the standard rifle at the time was the M1903 Springfield. I have one. It is one of the finest rifles that I personally possess. It was a three-time governor's match winner with the guard. It is a Remington. It is a very, very early war like Pearl Harbor happened. This was built right there after Pearl Harbor, I think January of 1942, Remington Arsenal. before the rifle was in its latest pattern as produced really in the earliest stages of the war with the A type stock or B type stock, not the C stock, which comes later with the M1903A3 Springfield. There was a competition and actually a great debate about the rifle sites. Now, 1903 Springfield rifle sites have more adjustment than any single site on any US weapon that we've had. And what I mean by that is not only do you have the option to adjust the site quite dramatically, but you have three to four different site configuration options as standard with the rifle. Another thing to remember, and this is how you actually can grade where a weapon came from, is the Marine Corps had its own philosophy on iron sights for the 1903 Springfield. So there is an Army Model 1, an Army Model 2, and then there's a Marine Corps, which basically constitutes a third model of Springfield site. What's the difference? Well, all of them were equipped with a peep site. You may or may not realize this with the 03 Springfield, but they were all equipped with a peep site. Okay? At the time, they wanted to bring the rifle up to it, the instagree with regard to iron sight performance, so it has extreme windage, extreme elevation. In addition to that, they have a barley corn notch, they have a peep sight, and they have another V-sight fixture on the rear sight attached. The marine cores are different in dimension. That's the significant issue. Two different philosophies about how to get the bullet to the same location is what it comes down to. At the same time, the supporting technology and the most critical one that was considered was the rifle sling. Because the rifle sling was an integral part of supporting the weapon to create proper three-point control, And the slings, there were a number of different models that were proposed. Original or earlier models were brought into the competition. And in the end, the one that won out is the one that most everybody is familiar with, both as surplus, but also with the regard to the reenactors. Because a lot of them buy, of course, a new production version of the sling. And that's basically what you usually run into. They're cheaper right now because World War II reenactment is expensive. The prices on a lot of the unique items that came out of that, which are great if you have a lot of other old surplus rifles, are now readily available. So, yes, you can pick up a decent brand new out of the box leather sling. You still want to work it in. Remember leather when it sits. It's been, of course, formed. It's been cured. It has been treated okay so that it doesn't break down easily it's malleable because of this again you need to put it on the rifle you need to work it if I'm gonna go with the leather sling you want to carry it you want to shoulder the gun I don't normally shoulder a rifle you know as in the sling shoulder a rifle But that's still the best way for you to work the leather to get it to work and stretch to where it's going to be in its normal position. Also to wrinkle out, I should say, shake out all of the little bends and wrinkles from storage. Why is this critical? Well, because that's part of that tensor quality with the sling. And there are about four different ways that you can use the sling, including One is basically considered to be a trap configuration where you open up the bow of one end of the sling where it's attached to the other end of the sling with a claw system and you actually insert your arm through, bring your arm back around and your left hand palms up underneath the rifle for offhand shooting at long range creating a platform. Your elbow comes down, supports along your gut basically or the side of your, forgive me, the side of your ribcage down to your gut. Your elbow should be working into the side of your body. This creates a long stable platform. You only have, you don't have, you eliminate that bend point, the elbow, because it's supported. The only thing that's going to have any flexibility is your wrist. your fingers are nonexistent. In fact, I'm gonna remind you something about long range platform shooting of that type, which you can get really good at in a very short period of time. As with the 1911 shooter, the 1911 shooter does not have a thumb if you know what you're doing. The thumb doesn't exist. At least most of it. The base of the thumb where the pistol sits in the crux of the between the index finger and the thumb. Yes, that area is creating tension. But in reality, to create less weevil wobble or in other words to create less influence, the rest of the thumb is non-existent even with the supporting left hand. and all of the control is in the way that you are actually cupping and interweaving both hands to bring the weapon up into a combat stance for shooting. With offhand rifle, that left hand should not be gripping. If you're looking at trying to create a stable platform, you want the weapon to rest on the palm and along the side of the index finger. But you want the hand or the palm, you want the fingers open, you want the thumb just like in a 45 shoot, you want the thumb off and projecting to the left, you rest the rifle, you bring the stock weld to where it belongs, the shoulder contact should be appropriate, cheek weld should be appropriate, needless to say you're starting your breathing process. You line up the sights, you start to squeeze on that pity, oh I'm sorry, the trigger and the discharge in theory as they say is a surprise but expected. And the idea behind this is minimal, aggressive interaction with the weapon. This is designed for use with a weapon at extreme range with offhand standing platform shooting. Not platformers and being supported, but you being the weapons platform. The sling is a significant part of that. Now this is one of the problems with, and I know all the ideas, Don't tell me, well Mark, it's totally different. We got red dot and we got this and we got it. No, it really isn't any different at all. Today we just added more widgets. Whereas originally the battlefield computer did most of the work, human brain, and the basics without optics or any other technology could take that weapon out to 750 to 1000 yards and still hit a human sized target if the individual is proficient enough. Some individuals would never achieve that proficiency. Not every man is equal in any weapon or any tool or any skill. But the individuals that were capable of that and are capable of that should be perfected to the nth degree and Again, the problem with the bungee's bungee slings is that they are great for again contact recovery you your bumped fall get knocked over by a Concussive wave of an explosion Your the weapon is pushed from your hands or leaves your hands you have the ability to tow it back in we understand all of that and But there again are different applications and none of them are wrong. Okay, the philosophy, if it works, if it will continue to work, the problem with the multi-station or multi-slings, and this is where again, if you look at the basic combat load and how it presently is set up, in cross-country operations, most of that equipment is Captain Snag-a-Lot. It tags snags everywhere. We've talked about this again, I've said this many times, slick siding or slicking areas of contact. There are things that would have to change, not that they wouldn't even have to discard, but you have to change what it is or how you configure the equipment to make it work more effectively in the field. The traditional idea and and this is especially critical understand all the things that you see today were proposed 40 years ago on weapons the Blinding illumination light not LED, but there were xenon tube. There are all kinds of different krypton tubes There were you know, the strobe emitters the whole line guards and that that whole idea that's 50 years old. Okay the whole concept of optics guys 60 years ago, it was argued that every army would be going to optics within a few years back in 1954, 1955, and it's demonstrated in the weapons that were presented for the NATO competitions and also for the CITO competitions. Although CITO did not have the money, Southeast Asian Treaty Organization, the presentment of certain weapons that were produced indigenously in the southeastern Asian theater of operations By the way, Thailand was no weak party in this proposition. Thailand produced a lot of interesting things or had the capability to. They presented weapons with, again, a fixed low power optic. The solution to this with the AR-15, you might recall, is a straight tube, cold, what, three, four power? Eventually, it went to the five, seven. etc. A straight tube, just a purely an optical sight, just a toilet paper tube with a crosshair. Think about it that way, which is really all the input is. Toilet paper tube with a crosshair only with a nice illuminator and a red circle area. And once you've got it sighted in, you just put it up and bang. In theory, if you keep it within that red little red area, something got to get, something in theory is supposed to get hit. The big thing about most of the siting systems today and most of the equipment is not the, it ain't the razor, it's the blades. First of all, it's batteries. Second all is many of it has support materials, equipment or other attachments, cables, lines that need to be, we're gonna have to be more effectively concealed and also covered for, well, to prevent resistance problems in motion. We're not going to be an open field conflict. You're seeing the Ukraine worst case scenario fighting in farm fields. Does everybody understand that is your worst? That is, oh everybody goes, that's classic Eastern European fighting. Yeah, because you're on these massive, it's like you're fighting in Iowa, okay? But most of our country is not like Iowa. Most of our country, you know, again, every battlefield we go to is unique, but most of, this battlefield, the United States, has every form of climate and condition that can exist on the planet. From the very driest to the most wet, from the coldest to the hottest, from one end of this country, the other, north, south, east, west, take a pic. Arizona, Nevada, there's your driest popcorn fart. Wet and damp, cry living in upper Michigan in the winter when that deep dark cold off the north or Minnesota or Wisconsin in the northern parts of the state. Hell, even just being in the bottom of the state is a different world. But the humidity level, in winter time or summer, but winter especially, that deep penetrating cold. All of these things are in part of the consideration of the battlefield. We need to be prepared for and ready for what are going to have to be significant changes in configuration of equipment. What looks good because it's what you've seen is the social norm is not necessarily what's going to work if you're going to fight in a unique dynamic condition. Each environment requires significant changes. So again, also because progressively if we get into, let's say they got the World War III scam going the way they think they want it. We don't have the production capacity. We would not have spare parts, batteries, etc. within a very short period of time. How are you with iron sights? Or at least with conventional optics? Because all of the whiz-bang stuff is going to progressively be shutting down. Well, no, I'd be prioritized. Why would you be prioritized to have it? Even in the military, why do you think it's likely, why do you think, do you really think the government is going to achieve the goal, okay, forgive me, the goal of getting all the widget parts and batteries to you that supposedly you need? If you believe that, you've never studied a, we're talking a major conflict here now, we're talking an equal opportunity dying time battlefield situation. Regular militaries like the US, oh well no, we're super, we're great, yeah. When we went into World War II, people had clothes rotting off their bodies. Ammunition never got to where it needed to be. Ships had to leave, aircraft had to leave, the troops that were deployed completely isolated. Oh, yeah. So everything that right now, because people are arrogantly, let's just say, grossly oversupplied, I have a tendency not to have the discipline to husband or retain their equipment or maintain their equipment by, for instance, power consumption and light discipline with equipment. Thinking why I say light discipline as in hit the switch, turn it off. If you're not using it, turn it off. If you're not using it for any period of time, turn it off. Why? You only got so many minutes or so many hours or so many days of power in a piece of equipment that you have with regard to its power supply. Nobody's going to be showing up down the road with the truck. Nobody's going to drop it from the air. It isn't going to show up. It was destroyed. It's somewhere sitting at the bottom of the Atlantic or the Pacific right now. It's that shipment you were expecting almost got to you, but that last retail delivery by that C-117, well, you see that smoking column way over there on the horizon? That's that plane that was carrying all your spares. It's a burning piece of wreckage in the middle of the Schmidlap jungle. And you know what? 8 out of 10 will be like that. That's a regular military. So for all of you, understanding that again, here we are in the United States, production capacity is minimal to none. We're counting on enemies, our enemies. In fact, NAFTA and GATT, NAFTA and GATT, NAFTA and GATT created the condition we now have. Everything that we warned everybody about is now in place. We told you so, we told you so, we told you so. Now for this reason, this gets back to why Uncle Mark keeps caught harping on certain ideas. Like you better embrace and understand how to use your weapon with its basic analog components. And what I mean, it's in other words, organic mechanical components. So you need to master the iron sight first and then work up and take the gravy you're gonna get with the other technologies. But you must master the iron sight. In fact, you should be taking all the technology off, offside, outside out of circulation. In other words, not just readily available and everybody in the team should be practicing with the conventional organic sighting systems that are part of each of the weapons. This includes a squad automatic weapon and it also includes the anti-tank capability, we won't say anymore, most of your anti-tank weapons that are your low end usually use nothing but the organic sites that are originally intended for it and they're not electric, so that's a good thing. Example, the laws rocket, rifle grenades, even the Viper itself is still relatively low-tech but still too damn expensive and not likely to be seeing as many of them once we get into an actual conflict. Neither side, if you think government will have them, it's like I said equal opportunity destruction and dying time. So it's a very different world. Tell you what, before we go any farther, right now, we are at the bottom of the hour. It is 8.33, much closer to the bottom of the hour. And we should be hearing the bottom of the hour break because- In our valleys there's danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not just singing of the views of wild and free. But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands, the fruit of dry foam. You may ride a goodly speed, you may know a stern a master Your forward marks with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And your leader just starts Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle No graves at home, back across the briny water. That giddy must come, like well it's a super slaughter. But it's way the jaws must do, and as soon as it's begun. If Lyndon's figure holds a butt through, the quicker it will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands, no proof, no to rifle. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands, no proof, no to rifle. And again, we're back. This is LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com and LibertyTreeRadio.org. Remember, the basics. And as a rifleman, you may have to drop back to the zero point with any of your weapon systems. Now, some of your weapons are going to have a bit of an issue, for instance. A lot of the guys out there are using their standard present gain getting rifle, most of those were not built with iron sights on board. It was a 50-50 item, if you got an old Remington, you know, 700 or 600. In fact, well, take it back. If you had the Mohawk and it was a 600, those all came with iron sights, no matter what. Pretty much across the board. Those were a brush, not quite carbine, but pretty close. They were made in intermediate cartridge chamberings, everything from 300 Savage to 308, 7.62x51 NATO, 243, also 7mm Mauser, yes they did, remember that? A lot of the calibers were very common for the time, but they were in the middle of the shooting spectrum. And that was the model 600. Now the 700 and also the The model 70s can be anything big bore you can imagine. Now it was about a 50-50 proposition there that you may or may not order it or buy it with iron sights off the shelf. So if you do lose the optics then it's golf balling time and you don't really want to do that with a big heavy ass cartridge. It will do a fine job. Knocking down a 250 pound or 300 mule deer from ridge to ridge doing a 900 yard or 1100 yard shot. Very common out west of the Rockies. 300 wind mag, 7mm Remington mag, 8mm Remington mag. We don't want to golf all that. You don't want to waste that route. It's got all the energy it needs. Take a biped and knock them right off their feet. So, again, this is where there's a balance because needless to say, you can't get to ground zero with some of your weapons is the Optic site. Now, here's where I recommend, and I've done this many times, that you buy a backup Optic. When I'm building no-name brands, Marksman's or Sniper's, or Sniper Rifles, we call them Marksman's Rifles. I like to go with a nine power scope. It's usually a middle price or low price. I also have been picking up as many as I can over the years from the gun shows because nine powers are everywhere. Nobody's excited about a nine power, but it's more than enough optic for anything you need to do, especially in Michigan. The nice thing is that you can then start duplicating and having a spare already on standby. What's the nice thing about that? Well, today with picketing rails and all the other accoutrements or components, You can actually pretty well lock a site into place and then zero it, do what you need to do. You can grip everything. There's a couple of different demilubricants that will allow you to lock your components where you need them to stay. It's not going to rust anything or break anything down, but what it does is it creates better adhesion so that whatever physical force you've applied to tighten that particular fixture, it'll stay where you put it. Advantage, you can dismount that scope, put another scope on. Again, I would do this with home loads to save your money, save yourself money anyway. Reloading is what you want to do when you're doing big bore. But I would then take a second scope, mount all the proper fixtures, especially the Picatinny rail modules being the way they are, lock everything down so that it's properly zeroed, 12 o'clock, six o'clock, first of all oriented. And then I would site that second scope in. Is it going to be perfect when I put the other scope back on? Well, the first one, which you can take your pick, whatever your primary scope is, is the second one you mount. But the first one is mounted, you adjust all of your sighting, and then you box it. You come up with either a clamshell, there's all kinds of little boxes that are little mini Pelican type cans, but not shiny silver if you can help it. In fact, if they are shiny silver, change them real quick, break out spray paint. but you can actually have a complete second optic that is already cued to your rifle. Is it gonna be exactly where it needs to be? Well, if you've marked your picatinny rails and you actually have done what you, you reproduce it from the first to the second scope, it's gonna be close enough so that if anything happens to the scope that you've left on the rifle and it's disoriented, it's damaged, it even got shot. I've said this a million times, everything and anything can get shot. in a battlefield environment. Remember, you took cover. You made sure you bored your butt into the ground and you didn't get hit. But that pack or that maybe just that fanny pack telling you how close those bullets were might have a few extra holes through everything that's in it because, you know, your gear is not going to slow much of anything down the way of a projectile. Same is true with a weapon site or just being in the right place where you know physics something bubble it passes through the area and your optics happen to be in the way This is why a backup for optics, especially with critical weapons, especially long-range weapons We need to have a system set up you need to would develop what works for your rifle because many rifles are different Now, what's really nice is many of the weapons, if they're the old Euro or from the so the 50s through to the early 70s, have a scabbard locking system. What's nice about this is that you were able to dismount the scope, secure the scope in a case. Some people immediately want to get rid of those even though they have everything there to support it, but they're a quick on, quick off scope mount. They are a very friendly unit and in fact you can still find most of the parts for the systems because they were built as upper-end optics for big game or game hunting. When I say big game, we're talking the African big score routine, Cape Bull, elephants, lions and tigers and orangutans. Well, it's not you at the orangutan, see, really aren't that mean, and they're kind of slow and it's embarrassing when you shoot them, it really isn't a victory. But anyway, fact of the matter is that those scabbard systems are especially useful for field operations. There is another reason for this. You can save or protect a longer range piece of glass by casing it the way I was describing earlier and use a utility grade scope for most of your work. And remember the scabbard system is so, these are precision tools to the point where there will be no variant when you dismount the scope and you reorient the scope, you reattach it, there will be no variance and point of impact. So think twice before you go, oh, grandpa's gun has this on, everybody tells me I need to pick a, well, you better do an evaluation of what grandpa had on his rifle. And did Grandpa have a lot of Bambi on the wall, like either mule horn antlers, and maybe a few heads, and maybe, oh, he did have a wildebeest on the floor there as a rug, and oh, he might have known what he was doing with what he had. It might be useful just as is if you work on it a little bit. Just an idea there. So anyway, ideas, not just complaining about the problems. And whatever solution you come up with, you can ignore everything I said, come up with your own solution, and that's just fine. The only thing I ask, show up for the fight. That's all we're worried about. But hopefully, I can give you some ideas, because there's a lot of stuff you're going to run into. Right now, especially the estate sales, there have been tons of equipment showing up that is priceless. Not one of a kind. But one of a breed, you know, that perfect combination, but nobody's making it anymore. And so there's a lot of things that you're going to run into that would especially suit the battle, you know, the situation we're going into. So, you know, don't think the newest is best. There are a lot of really fantastic firearms out there. I'll tell you what, I wish... Model 37 Ithaca pump shotgun, one of the best shotguns. Oh Mark, the 870, yes I know it, I love the 870. But the Model 37 Ithaca is a poor man submachine gun and it worked first time every time and it's why when anybody did any of these hacked down, chopped up sub shotguns, which again are NFA weapons you don't want to make, they were using the Model 37 because again, when you pull the trigger back, all you do is fan the action and slam fires. making it again. What did I say? Poor man's submachine gun. You got five rounds in the chamber, five rounds in the cylinder, the magazine. You make sure you slide one into the, you know, load it. Okay, there we go. Now put another one, another round in the magazine. You got six rounds available and shoulder lean forward into the gun. aim low to the crotch or into the belt line area and five rounds in well no six rounds in about five seconds it takes a little less sometimes depending on the shooter. What? Oh yeah yes I've seen it. In fact uh uh I'm sure is able to do that uh actually I know he does shotgun too not just rifle. And his times are phenomenal. But it's the idea that the gun is literally greased lightning, so to speak. If you work at operating the weapon, it is one of the most user-friendly. I will say this, it's lighter. It bites more if you shoulder it. You're going to feel a little more. The weapon is not as heavy as the H-70 or some of the other guns in the class. But we just don't have that many of them laying around. So if you got one, treat it well and do a little research and we'll understand what I'm talking about. Now, one more thing, air defense. We talked about this last week. Air defense, shotguns, shotguns and shotguns. Don't cut down shotgun barrels. If you need a replacement barrel, buy one. But the bird barrels are going to be needed. That is part of the air defense for drones, for the dronatoid RC toys. Okay, the nematodes, hemorrhoids, dronatoids, whatever. And long barrel shotguns and practicing trapping skeet. Again, there are other parts of the inventory, but everybody's probably got a shotgun out there that's listening. Might even have a few you don't think too kindly of because you're not too excited about them. And you're thinking I should break out the saw when the time comes. Don't do that right now. Okay. It's more likely that we're going to need to spread out the air defense guns. And what we need are more of those old model 66s or 67 Stevens. The old, like I mentioned, Model 37 in the goose gun configuration, 870s, 1200s with a long barrel, Ithaca and Remington and Winchester made long tube goose guns, which would be ideally suited for drone eradication for drone hunting. And by the way, more than one person engages the drone, you're gonna use multi-shot air defense. This is just like when you are using a missile battery for air defense. You fire one and then you fire two. I understand that's that's not the only way that they're used but One one missile is launched to engage the target the target will try to avoid The other two missiles are firing high and low or left and right and each covers two quadrants of the compass North, south, east, west one does south and east the other one does north and west etc. etc. It depends on how you want to count, how your brain can wrap around this. When the missile tries to avoid the, when the target tries to avoid the first missile, it walks into either A or B with the second missiles. This is why typically again, although many are one shot kills, but not always, typically again, you use a clutch of weapons. Air defense with a shotgun should be treated the same way. And with the idea that it'll be necessary to follow up with the second, third, or fourth kill because now they've always been yapping about swarms. So you have to treat it the same way you would shooting partridge. You ever shot partridge? Ever gone to Iowa or out to Kansas or out to Nebraska and shot partridge? I think it's Iowa that still does the breed and dispersed population pay thing going on. If you wanted to make money, go to college. You raise partridge from eggs and they tally up how many you produce and they give you the money that you get for producing the partridge goes towards your college courses, towards paying for your college time. and they have literally clouds of partridge. It is a big business slash industry that is developed with everybody participating to a degree. Because of that, they're also really good at shooting partridge and hunting partridge. Partridge is tasty and it's also a tougher game to hunt. They are a much more aggressive flyer, although they are to a degree predictable, like all birds, they're a fixed wing. But they are much more dynamic target to engage. Heartridge are a good choice for practicing RC toy, dronatoid air defense. Just something to think about. Either that or just break out the clays. Pull. There we go. Call her. Jump in there, please. Kind of off topic. I want to make a correction from yesterday. I mentioned the guy's YouTube channel and I said it was the the Tech Tom prepper. It was just the tech prepper for communications. YouTube channel labels, the tech prepper correction from yesterday. Cause I said calm instead of tech. Also Mark, I was at Walmart today. It was the grocery store one, not the normal big one that has the grocery store and everything else. They had the her food shelf-stable beef there at the store. They had three different ones that you mentioned, probably about three weeks ago, I think you mentioned it. But it's the beef perpurd, it's beef taco filling, comes in the package, aluminum pie package. It says the best buy date for March of next year. And it's distributed by Senpaco, but it doesn't say it's packaged by them. It actually says packaged under Brazilian government inspection, but distributed, but my guess would probably be that since it's distributed by Senpaco, maybe they gave them the machinery or tools to package this stuff, which is that company is, as you mentioned, or something we may not know, is the same people that make the MREs for the US military. make these pouches and stuff like that. So it was about $3.25 for the beef taco filling. They had the meatballs, which was around $4, I believe, and then they had the shredded beef. So they had those three on the shelf. It's in the aisle, at least at my Walmart, it was at the aisle where they've got the tuna, cans of tuna, and then they have the other Like the spam and everything all together. It's in that area So if there's someone's looking for it, it's a red Label at the top. This is herford. H er e f o r d as in Ford With a blue it's red on the top and then blue package towards the bottom I believe the little cardboard box is also red that they sit in that they just lift the top and put it on the shelf The calories are 100 calories. So, and it says serving size as three, but serving size one third of a cup. So not really a whole lot if you were trying to share it between three people. Maybe two people possibly if you had other stuff, but definitely be enough for one person. I haven't tried it yet, Mark. I bought one to try. I may try it tomorrow or in the next couple of days, make some tacos with it, but. And then I'll have to report back. But they are available at Walmart. And we said I went to the neighborhood market, which is just the grocery store, Walmart. And it's in the aisle with the SPAM and the Tuna Cams. And I said it's a red label at the very top of the packaging, and then blue three quarters of the rest of the label towards on the bottom. Questions, Mark? Excellent. Real quick, remember, Voll's fails dual roll ups. First thing, any of the meat like this, use whatever you got in the way of a flour or corn soft shell and just roll it up and go to town with it that way. That's one of the quickest that I can see. One of the nice things about this is, again, they are standard retort pouches. So as far as I can see with everything that they've done is that it is a military grade ration. And in reality, the shelf stability, the shelf stable for an indefinite period of time. There really isn't a cutoff for MREs. It's purely matter how well you store them. The hotter you store them, the greater the change in the flavor. Not a change in the product as far as deterioration, but just change in flavor. Remember that. I've read that many times in the air. I need to do it again here. sometime soon because the specs, the specs for MREs, in reality, the only thing it changes is slightly changing in flavor with age. And for me, if you've ever been starving in the field, because the stuff didn't get to where it belongs, that doesn't mean anything. So these would be a good choice and especially create a little bit of mix because they have the meatballs. I haven't seen the meatballs. Were there different weights to the packages or were they all the same weight? I didn't pay attention to the weight mark. This one is six ounces. I'm not sure of the... I think the meatballs may be slightly heavier because the meatballs on the shredded beef were 450 per package and this one was 350 for the beef taco filling. So this one was six ounces for the beef taco filling. Like I said, I just bought the one to try, but I'll eventually try the others and definitely report back. But you were mentioning, you saw them at the dollar store. What dollar store was it, Mark? Was it Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or Family Dollar? It was Dollar Tree. And I bought, they had three trays, and I bought one full tray at $1.25. And it's like I said, I was wondering if they'd show up there and it was the meat shreds. It was the taco slash meat shred type. I was on one block, the simpaco, they have this herford brand, but the shredded, they do have a shredded beef, but it's a different packaging. And it actually says simpaco on the top, on the front. Is that the one you're talking about? No, this one actually is herford actually I was one thing I was watching for so they do have well check Check with dollar look at the Dollar Tree page to that our dollar tree page may have it listed Okay, I'll check on that one. I was just I was just saying cuz I looked online and some pack Oh they show a Like a bigger package and it actually says some paco on the top Well along with their herford the the ones that I talked about they also have beef ribs Now like so they just had that like so just the three different one that this Walmart I'll definitely have to check around and see if they have Something else but also while people are in that aisle that Walmart has their own little pouches Like chicken they have like fajita chicken They even have like smaller pouches with Barbecue chicken or like pulled pork and the pulled pork I bought one at Dollar General and the barbecue sauce wasn't that great. It wasn't very sweet kind of off-land the one at Dollar General, but the Walmart one actually was a lot better tasting. And they're like $1.50 per these little pouches. But the fajita chicken, if you take that, if you like lime juice, take that and you take the, the door Spanish rice, put, heat those up, cook your rice, mix those together and then add some lime juice to it. And it's really, really good. Or There's a company I've brought this up before. It's called, there's a True Lemon in True Lime. It's crystallized lemon and lime powder. If people want to try this without buying the lemon packets, at least for the lemon, if you keep an eye at your gas stations like Love's gas station over by the drinks, they will have these packets there for free for putting in your water or whatever. So if you want to try some without having to buy some. You can grab a handful or whatever. If you have an on cue gas station in your area, they also carry them in the gas station by the drink aisle where they got the lids and whatnot. But if you, the lime, the powdered lime, you just mix it with a little bit of water or just dump it in with your rice and mix it up and it'll give you that lime flavor. And it's pretty much shelf stable. lime and lemon in crystallized form and each pouch each little packet about the size of sugar packet is like a It's equal to one Lime wedge or one lime or a lemon wedge And you can use those to bake with them. I've used it in the past and couldn't tell a difference between using a real lemon or the crystallized lemon, so They taste much better than the fake liquid lemon that comes in the ketchup pouch's little packets. So just some ideas for people to try out if they really like lime juice with their Mexican food or whatever and stuff that they could build up a self-made MRE by using one of those fajita chicken pouches, the nor rice. and get a box, I think it's like three bucks mark for a box of, I think 20 packets of that. Like I said, but you can, like I said, just keep an eye out at your groceries, or grocery, correction, gas stations. You can get the lemon packets if you like lemon, like in your water, whatever, keep an eye out, they may be for free. And like I said, you can grab a handful of them. That's the exact same, the true lemon is what I was talking about. You can at least try the lemon one for free. But what I was talking about was the Herford beef taco filling that's available at Walmart for $3.50. And then they had the shredded beef. And then the meatballs with sauce was both of them, the shredded and the meatballs was $4.50. And it's a red label at the top and then 3-quarters of the rest of the packages as blue with yellow. labeling it's in the aisle with the tuna and Spam cans. That's all I'm mark unless you have more questions. Excellent. Oh again solutions. One of the things to remember if we get it free we get one thing free from one side that saves up that much more money so that we can acquire what we need from the others that we probably may not be able to put to the budget.
