We're 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 for liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. If this delay... The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms. and keep our country as we yet put men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn and your daughters visit the house all participants are muted and they can unmute themselves the recording has started 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 in each God-given right, and pray to God. to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer? If he called out from the grave, build the land at the place. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Hernke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, north, and Northwest. That little bridge ship incident isn't the only one that has taken place and you guys have done a great job. So protect yourself. I know a lot of you are in a war zone. That's tough, especially since you're not on a fighting ship. Somebody can shoot and blow you out of the water, send you to the bottom, but it's not much you can do other than throw a rock and use harsh language and hopefully get to the lifeboat. Or boats. Anyway, it is, well, we're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the United States. It's Monday, beginning of the week, it is the 22nd of April. It is the 16th year of open, obvious and in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a gay. 2024, old earth calendar, give it all she's got, Captain. And 2024 Battle for the Republic, book one, The Dance of Swords. And I'm gonna stop for a second here with my Eden State Bank cup. This is a classic by the way, with some very fine building litho on it. Smell, taste, beginning of the week, coffee. I see the truth in this shy who knew. Anyway, let's see, couple things. First of all, Sportsman's Guide. Couple of items came down a little bit in price. Not much, but every dollar counts. Over at Sportsman's Guide, they have extra large Italian woodland uniform, top, bottom, and hat, brand new, patrol hat, for I think $17 a set. Making up the best price for a woodland camo uniform or any kind of uniform that's at least a military issue item, one time over. There are a number of other items that have come down just a step in the last day because I was watching things over the weekend. We had to order a few items to top off things we didn't have and from the, purely from the clearance section with the exception of being the burn gel. So you might want to go check sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com. Now, it's the beginning of the week. Let's do a guns and gadgets right off the bat Ed because there have been a bunch of things going over the weekend. It actually was rather interesting and it has been interesting how many things are being passed on Sunday both at the federal level and at state level, Sunday. Now there's, I'll explain why here in a minute because this is not traditional but this is like everything else. The kosher mafia pissing in your face and wagons are weaning and smearing it all over your whole nay, holding the end of it and smearing it all over your face, ear on your nose and making sure they just lapping their ass off about what they're doing to destroy the country. Well, at least their efforts to destroy the country. They won't be successful but they are going to keep trying. Anyway, guns and gadgets for whatever the most recent is. There may have been one or two today as I understand it. And maybe three. A very Congressman just called my friend, Brandon Herrera, a neo-Nazi. Yes. We're going to talk about that before I jump into what I want to thank my friends. CMMG, they're the sponsors of this video. They made this phenomenal Han Solo Blaster in 22 in honor of May the 4th. Now they only made a hundred of these. These are already sold out, but I will tell you a little secret. You head over to their website and you use my code GNG10. They have the parts where you can make your own tool, make your own Han Solo Blaster. And you'll save big with my code. And stay tuned for more Star Wars-themed releases to honor May the 4th in the next couple years. They make phenomenal tools here in America in Booneville, Missouri. You can choose your length, choose your chamber, and choose your color. And stay huge with GNG-10. Thank you to our friends over at CMMG. Alright, I'm going to get into this one. And I'm going to do my best to stay composed. Rhino Tony Gonzalez. He is the current sitting congressman, the incumbent in Texas District 23, which I'll start out by saying has the most amount of mileage, most amount of border in all of Texas. It's the most border-having district. I just made up my own language there. Which is why, when I tell you some of the things that this piece of trash has done, you should get anger. I'm gonna, before I forget to say this, Brandon Herrera for Congress. It's Brandon's website for his campaign. You can donate to him no matter what state you live in. Go to Brandon Herrera for Congress and help him. He has been out-earned by Tony Gonzalez. Brandon has no big donors. It's us. We the people who want somebody who is one of us to serve in Congress. Now, he's in a runoff. The runoff is going to be May 24th, I believe, 23rd or 24th, I don't remember off the top of my head. But if the amount of people who didn't vote for Tony Gonzalez, because there were other candidates other than Brandon who were not in this runoff, if those people just vote for Brandon, Brandon wins. It's that close. It's that good. And I'm going to show you a clip here, just so you can see how much pressure Tony Gonzalez is under. Because he went on CNN and started throwing slander bombs. Check it out. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night. Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime. So he's calling Bob Good, who is a representative in Virginia, he's calling him a Klansman. He took also took a shot at Matt Gaetz and he called Brandon Herrera a neo-Nazi. Well, I guess, Tony, you talk a big game for such a short, budgie little dude. If you have proof that he is what you claim, then by all means bring it out. Bring it forth. But what I will tell you is that you just slandered somebody on a public forum on CNN. And you open yourself up... to a defamation lawsuit. Now, I'm also going to tell you some of the things, just in case you live in Texas, Congressional District 23, specifically, some of the things that your sitting Rhino Republican, Tony Gonzalez, has voted for on your behalf as your representative. He voted to create the January 6th commission. Yeah, he voted for that. He also voted for extending the warrantless spying on Americans in the most recent FISA vote that I was talking about in the last week here. So he wants Americans thrown in jail without any proof of any wrongdoing. We're just going to hold him in jail forever, apparently, with no speedy trial, no nothing, when they violate their constitutional rights. He also wants Americans to be spied on by their own government without a warrant. He has voted for Biden's open borders. He didn't want Texas to be able to stop the invasion at the southern border. He voted for Biden's open borders. Now, in the last couple days, he's come out and complained because a bunch of gangs are taking over, coming in over the border, Venezuelan gangs and causing violence. But you know what, Tony? You voted for this, you little bitch. You voted for this. It's on you. It's not on Biden. Well, it's on Biden. But it's on you. You're the Republican Congressman for your district, the most border in all of Texas. You did this. Some of the other, the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Tony voted for that as well. What did that do? Well, that's the most. Biden goes around saying that it's the best piece of gun control legislation in the last 30 years. And what have we seen? Well, it's the bribery campaign for red flags that gets states to institute red flag law. It took a section of adults, young adults 18 to 20 and gave them extra background checks. But what we're now seeing is it also led to this new rule the ATF just dropped last week. The engaged in the business rule. They want to stop you from selling your privately owned items, lawful items, to other lawful people. totalitarianism, my friends. Yeah, so he also called Brandon a neo-Nazi. Now, there are four hurdles that you must cross. There are four factors in order to bring a defamation lawsuit, Brandon, if you're listening. Now, Brandon doesn't know I'm doing this video, but I'm going to send it to him. One must make a false statement purporting to be fact. Well, Tony just did that on CNN. Must also publish or communicate that fact to a third person, which he did on the set there, CNN, plus millions of people who watched that trash. Third, the fault must amount to at least negligence. Well, we would say that that was negligent of him, very negligent. Shows how scared he is of losing his job. And fourth, damages of some harm must be caused to the reputation of the person or the entity. who is the subject of the statement. Brandon Herrera was definitely... his reputation is being damaged by the things Tony says. Now Tony's just playing politics, he'll say, because I'll try to keep my job. That's the M.O. for the UNI party. Destroy whatever you have to do. Burn it to the ground to stay in power. That is Tony Gonzalez, Texas. And if you voted for him, now is your chance to fix that mistake. Vote for Brandon Herrera, my friend who's running for Congress. He is probably the most pro 2A candidate you will ever have running in that district. Vote for him if you live in the district. Send him some money if you don't live in it, even if you do live in a district. All of everybody should be considering sending Brandon some money with five bucks, twenty bucks. $100, $500, whatever you can do. He's behind in the money game. So, Brandon Herrera for F-O-R, Congress.com. Check him out. Guys and yells. This piece of trash, Tony Gonzalez, has resorted to kindergarten techniques and tactics of calling someone names because he's getting beaten to poles. Take care. Those guns and gadgets, and we are back. And as you can probably tell, The tenor of most people that I like, we ran into this weekend is they're tired of the garbage, the illegal aliens can do no wrong, have run across the border with reckless abandon, helped by traitors in Washington who need to be strung up and most everybody. If you talk to them, they will tell you that that is exactly what needs to happen. The Prozac prodigies and all the rest we don't care about. But it is fascinating again the response from so many different people. So again, the only thing they can resort to is cooperating in voter fraud. That'll be the next thing. And we can expect that. I mean, is there anybody who doesn't believe that voter fraud isn't gonna be on a massive level with whatever's coming in the way of not this, this is a special election runoff. So, they might actually get an accurate number, they might not. But most important is that as Jared said, okay, support him, get on with other things, only takes a minute. Everybody, if there's 20 million, 30 million people, it all stepped up to the plate. When a patriot is in trouble, if everybody did a dollar, wow, guess what? Problem solved, nobody's out. And the person is actually in a better position, a better situation across the board. I tried to explain this back in the 90s and it did kind of catch on because everybody started to see results. That's what needs to happen. We have the numbers, we grossly outnumber our enemy on a level that they don't want you to realize. But again, it's still gonna come down to blows. The criminal tit suckers, can't let go of what they're doing. It just can't. It's just all there is to it. We are going into a war in 24. But in the process, our hands will be clean. We can do everything that we need to do right to get the job done. And then get on down, like I said, get on down the road to other things. Don't just think that I'm telling you, oh, we do this, right? You'll never hear me say that. If we just do this, the enemy will be so awe inspired. Don't just throw their hands up and they'll forget. No, they're not. I have never seen that. Any of you? No. So the bottom line is that they have physically gone too far. They've committed. They can touch the ring again. I've told you many times, it's like, you know, the old going after the ring and the merry-go-round. They can touch it, their fingers do the last spin around and now they're headed towards the next spin and their fingers touch the golden ring. The golden ring gives them the big goodie prize. And only one person, only one, can have the golden ring. There won't be any sharing. There is no sharing. So remember that even amongst themselves, there are still going to be backbiting and backstabbing and all kinds of fun stuff. But as far as they're concerned, you and all of America, all of you listening out there are the enemy of the orcs that make up the Legion. And they have already, well, the 2020 election was not the first time that they did what they did, okay? I can't emphasize enough that they did the exact same thing with the Hillary the Hutt election. in 2016, but they hit the machine too late. That you can see that in the numbers. It was so close with Hillary, no, it was never close with Hillary the Hutt, never. Not in any way, shape or form. What happened is, and this is what they didn't want to acknowledge, and that's the problem I have with Trump. is that they were doing the same shenanigans in 2016, but they waited till almost 11, maybe 1130 in the evening, Eastern Standard Time, when they gave the wink and the nod to pull out the cheats. And it wasn't quite enough. It didn't quite, and that's what made it so frustrating for all these B-witches that were involved in the system because they knew. But they also knew that if they did hit the switch when they really needed to, that many people would easily have traced. And in fact, even this last time with the big thievery, it's easily traced. It's just that they pulled all the stuffs out from the get go. They did not hesitate, they did not wait. They did everything they could. They did it all at once in spades and end force. So I don't see it being any different this time around. But the run-offs, special elections like this, well, let's see how blatant they are because it takes a little more and it is a unique oddball election out situation. So it might actually be relatively successful. We shall see what we shall see. But everybody, pitch in, do their part, help out, and then get on with other things this day. It's a minimal cost process for us and everybody can be part of it. And if we succeed, well, fantastic. If we don't, what are we out? And again, I'm more concerned with the up and coming conflict, but any side brush fire we can create any conflict, then we need to do it. Anything where you can make it difficult for your enemy, we need to do it. You need to participate in that way. Not because we expected a tremendous outcome, the likes of which we never expect. No, no, I can get a pretty good feel for where things are going. But in this situation, it would be beneficial just to put a stick in the spokes and oh, wow, that had to hurt. Watch the guy go face first into the pavement and a whole bunch of chiclets flying everywhere. That's what we need to make happen with the enemy. Needs to happen sooner rather than later too, by the way. So we'll do our part everybody do theirs and Next let's see. Oh world. I think we're almost at the bottom here. This didn't take long Over the weekend couple things I'd mentioned sportsman's guide I I have to make a call on the one hand it rather are people get some things but i'm gonna probably buy all of what i've there's a certain item republican abi about and only can between myself and another unit commander there are several items that are brit uh... sportsman's guide in the uh... clearance section you should probably look at if you see it congratulations and it makes sense for you grab it i would say that they have a number of uh... They're in the ACU, but that's again for elbow pads not a critical deal the middle pattern elbow pad with the long sleeve to the forearm and up and to the upper arm the Price is two dollars and sixty nine cents. But here's the thing be careful The brand new ones are two dollars and sixty nine cents same model The used ones are two dollars and sixty nine cents. I don't know if anybody noticed this But again, the image, the reason it's a little confusing is the image is showing the Coyote Brown, which is a plus or minus. Some people need it, some people don't want it. But the only thing available in the brand new version of the standard elbow pads in up to size large is ACUs. So again, they're brand new, they're in the wrapper. unissued and then there's also the used ones. But same price for both, $269. Now there are a number of other items in Webgear and also in clothing items that are bundles and it basically is $1.25, maybe $1.50 an item if you do the, you know, divide, subdivide. Take a look at the price, subdivide. You'll see what I'm talking about. Make them a very good buy, okay? So you might want to check some of those items out, look to see what's there, and see if they make any sense for your purposes with regard to what you're doing right now. for tactical support, what you're doing to expand your program. A lot of us, myself included, we've been running out of items. I was kind of joking on the way back here today. It's like, okay, I have two M1956 butt packs left. I put them in a box. And I was hoping that when it came back, at least I get a couple of bundles of first aid pouches, you know, the compass pouch, you know, allus type because well, but it was a box of breed. Now it didn't work their way besides they're two different models. One is actual canvas, the other one's a nylon later issue. And so unfortunately they're kind of like the hybrids. Darn. But anyway, as it is, I'm hunting for allus type or the Vietnam era ones go crazy price now. Because they're cold or classic. You know I hate that word, but there are a number of different solutions out there with nylon and were import the ones that came from for instance the Austrian military there. There's nothing wrong with them. They're great, but even those are hard to find right now, so we're scouring the system. I need another 127 to 100 and 40 we'll see what happens and this is just to put basic kit and keep the units consistent that we're Outfitting try to keep them all the same basic system we could change out the parts from one to the other Doesn't make any risk what country made it eight suspenders from China for I mean military Chinese Bulgarian, Hungarian, they made copies, I didn't know it, but they did, and I've seen them, we bought some. Belgian, Austrian, they all make an H-type Alice suspender or a Y-type Alice suspender. So those will all integrate with the standard pistol belt, which will then integrate accordingly with all the other items that lock on to that tactical gear. But we are looking for M1956 butt packs slash fanny packs and maybe listed either way. And I'm interested in a quantity. I know I'd go to eBay. I'm looking there too right now. In fact, anybody who wants to scour the system, we can run into a location that has a deal. We're very much interested. So, anyway, other things. Well, I'll tell you what, we're at the bottom of the hour. And it is Monday. Hope you all had a good weekend. We had a great weekend here. Sunday was overtaxed. Couldn't get it to all the places we needed to fast enough, and there was more to do once we got to each location. So, again, congratulations to all the people who were working this weekend at the different facilities. engineers, you guys did a great job, all the tasks were completed, I understand they gave a couple of courses on using heavy machinery, so some of you people got a chance to play with backhoes and even big bulldozers, which is fun. I mean, after all, not many people let you play with their toys like that, but, well, you're the militia, we do all kinds of interesting things. Now, this next weekend at camp Whalen North, we are going to have a mechanized demonstration. We will have an example of the BTR 60s that we have in the inventory. Also M114 or the Victor 2. And in addition to that, an example of an M113, newer model. Although we do have quite a few of the gas models, which can be switched over to diesel. Some of them already have been because under the hood, everything just plug and play. In addition to that, a couple of the heavier Bruisers will be there. So again start looking at the schedule You can slide your unit over to Camp Whalen North for training But it is limited in space and they're not going to just brush people out of the way. Of course, you can show up just for the class itself if you use your PIN number on the alternate for both the Colonial Marine Militia and for Michigan Militia at large. You can see what the schedule looks like. Now, they're willing to with the walkthroughs and they're also going to do some drives. They're going to try to get as many people in the seats, rotating them in to the M113s as possible, and also the M114s, the Recon vehicles, because we have many of them. And more people that know how to operate them, how to start up, how to drive, what to do, it's going to make a big difference. So we're trying to cross train as many people as we can. And I believe we will have part of what is one of the CMM helicopter sections at Camp Whalen North coming in. They're going to do something I was talking about last week, repel. It's repelling, sir. No, no, they're going to repel from, oh, they're going to repel from helicopters. So they're going to do a little bit of that and I think give people the opportunity to also repel. We do have a number of aircraft that are a little bigger so we can actually do that. But we're also going to demonstrate the mosquito. which is one of the aircraft, one of the helicopter rotoring aircraft that was single man. The Mosquito has a sister aircraft that is beefier. The Mosquito is, we're using it as an individual trainer right now. But once you gain time on the Mosquito rotary-wing helicopters, these are little pocket helicopters, there is another model which we embraced and in fact is now being built that was originally put out there in the 19 middle 1950s about 55-56 as part of the rotary-wing research program. Well, I looked at it thinking about today's situation and everybody agreed that would be a good solution. So There may be something else there at Camp Weyland North this next weekend that a lot of people would like to look at. Especially if you're going to be willing to step up to the pilot's program, you have to pay for the fuel. We're not doing anything for free here, guys. You have to put forward the resources to pay for the fuel. That's the quote unquote downside. The upside is we have the aircraft that you can actually climb into and well, do the thing. So we'll see what happens. Do we have a caller? Yes, sir. Go ahead. Jump in there, please. Oh, I was trying to click it off the speaker. I'm trying to set up a system below the M14 mags. M1AM14 mags. Yes. And I'd like to set up what I've got so I can load the mags from stripper clips. Do you know if those NC star 308 clips, will they fit into the actual rifle charger guide? Oh, that's a good question. You mean the larger 10 round ones that were made? There are 10 round 308s. Yeah, I have some, not where I can reach them even. But that's a good question. I've never tried that. Whether or not they would fit in the standard stripper glide on the guide on the M1A, which is built in. You know what? That is something we will find out. Because I know we've got enough of them. They were available, but they're not as readily available now. So if you got them, they're a good item. I think they're a great deal, which is the fact. I see. I don't know if they, God, that's a good question. I'm trying to think because NATO spec for the stripper guides was pretty consistent at that time. And most, not all, but most with the exception of maybe the Portuguese strippers work in everything including the M14. But those which are, again, they're much bigger but that doesn't make any difference. If they kept to the outer spec, they should lock right in, they should slide in and then all you have to do is if you got the beefy hand to push them down, but to get them into play, then that would be a good solution. And just real quick, and for everybody who's wondering, everybody usually, we do make stripper guides. There are stripper guides for the M14, you know that. I mean, I don't know what their price is right now, but that would be a solution also because the guide probably could handle them. the guide and the rifle's identical dimension that's on the rifle, that's on the roof of the rifle. So I don't have to look at that. Go ahead. I have all the dope and everything, but I'm going to just set up like a speed loader system that I've got for a Ruger AC 556, and it feeds a 10-round clip into it, and you just, boom, and it, you know, it strips them all in there, and you can do it at a a lot faster pace. Pro-Mate makes like a little, it don't feed but like four rounds you got put like four chicklets in and then it speeds you up a little but it's not something where a man can kind of sort of mass produce. Right, there were a couple of companies out there that were making a polymer I came in with the Israeli. But it's been discontinued and not available and I'm trying to come up with some kind of solution. Well, go ahead. See, that's just it. The ammunition, the military ammo that was coming in, there was ammo coming in on those guides. I'm freaking me out on those trooper clips at one time. And really the way that they showed up is that, you know, it was during a lean time for ammo. So what they did is they pulled the M1, sold the strippers separate, pretty much with everything. That's the bad part is that they were originally boxed that way so when you open the box everything will be ready to go, which is how it should be. One of the places to check, I'll tell you what, look over at Natchez shooting supply and go through their, oh come on, what do they call it? I can't get to it from here. I've got a miscellaneous section and a lot of militaria shows up there. So you should go through, go over to Natchez Shooting Supply. It's tedious. Sometimes that page is a bugger to go through. I know that, but yeah, it's like mud. It's glitchy all the time. Every time I've been on it. But if you suffer with that... I deal with it. Yeah, I get more. Now that would be, go ahead. Oh, no, sir. Go ahead. I'm I was just sitting here, got my mind spinning at 14 miles a minute. I'm mainly wanting to come up with some kind of a system that you can charge mags, you know, load mags and be able to have them available, you know, like in cans and stuff that You know, if need be they can just pop open a pin pull a mag out You know and a loaded mag out and putting a rifle and I just don't want to keep a lot of Mags pre-loaded and weigh the springs down Right. Well the way to do this. Okay, there's now there's a couple of companies I'll tell you what first of all, and I don't know how well it would work for M14, but I know that they've somebody said that they've tried them and I can't recall what they said There is a plate loader that would have to, it's not that bulky, but it was originally with the Setme maintenance kits. And it was a, it's a magazine loader for the 20 round Setme, but they also made one for the AK that looks pretty much to be the same. I think somebody's made a copy, but there's a military one that handles 760 by 51 NATO ammo and it's designed to deal with 20 round slab magazines. Now the thing is- I think that's something that's important for people making all sorts of neat ideas for everything for 762, 39, 556 and everything but for the M14. I mean there's a few things for a block of ALPM. But for the M14 you basically stuck to the old style military stuff. Right. Well, there's a guy that goes on the magga, does a little clip on piece, but I'm trying to come up with something that might work a little better. And you know, you wind up. I'm sorry, go ahead. Well, the thing is that no matter what you the biggest problem with having the the Magazine of Catchable AR 15 and m14 I used to carry one after a while for my m14. I'm a dog tags a stripper guide Because everybody kept losing them and I granted I tape it. I tape one I tape one inside One of the pouches on the, was the last of, no it was the, well it was the last M14 mag pouch. There were some Alice made M14 mag pouches and they had the hangers on the outside for the grenade. So what I did is we stitched that up and I taped one of those suckers inside so it, you know, with friction tape so it couldn't leave. And it was always have one because it's supposed to you get so many guides with a can of ammo When the ammo come out in the battle ears each battle ears got a guide in it It's supposed to have at least one and some countries put two because of what we're talking about, you know losing one or you might need to share Oh, I see. It wasn't hard to find now. I've got one in my hand right now, but he fired them for 5.56, you know, way off 15, maybe, that 308. That's basically the M14, because it's got that little clip there on the back. I reckon it makes it a booger in coming up with a good design. One of the other things, now, there's a, now, just as a faster way to load if you had loose ammo, but didn't have stripper clips. is if you go to YouTube and punch in magazine loaders, homemade magazine loaders, I think there's a guy that's actually selling the price that he's a car, it was a carpenter. The guy's a woodworker, a board beaver. And it's basically the same you just see with some of the 556 or actually the set me when I was just telling you about. It's all made out of wood, made out of plywood, laminated, and basically you lay the ammunition inside the trough, you stick the magazine, there's a bumper to hold the mag in place when you put the, you know, when you push the mag rounds in, and it's basically kruck and you're done. You just push and you're done, but it lays flat on the table. or lays flat on any surface. Now it's not that big, it's actually, you can make it however big you want it. When I first saw it, I was thinking mount the thing on a basically a piece of Lexan. Well, you're not Lexan, but well, yeah, it's a former Lexan, but you know, butcher board stock with a handle, a carry handle. and make it small. Just make it no bigger than the board plus enough space to allow for the handle and you've got a working surface area. You can make it aggressive on the bottom with a cleat or something and you could mount that anywhere you wanted but you'd have to carry it with the ammunition. But working out a system, I'll bet you the way to do it would be to use the instead of 30 caliber cans or 50 caliber cans One of them that I really like right now are the 40 millimeter grenade cans. And if you were going to come up with a loader system, you know, as big as a 20 millimeter, we do, you know, Yock talked about that on the air forever. We use 20 millimeter cans, cannon round cans for loading up SKS bandoliers and loading them into the can and chocking that full and using the SKS chest pouches as bandoliers, like an issue, like a lighter weight bandolier. In this case, you could take a 40 millimeter grenade can, build one of those loaders, they'll fit, I'm pretty sure it would in a 40, and set it up with the ammunition, even in onboard and other items if you wanted to to support, I mean, if you had strippers, whatever else, and make it a loading system. But that's bulkier. It's a lot bulkier, I'm sure, what you're thinking about trying to do because you want to minimize it just like the DOD, don't know what the destruction does. Now there was, and I don't know how many, it's one of these, you'd have to find it and that means it's chicken teeth. At about the same time that the Israelis came out with their Polymer stripper clip system, which you run into, I think they didn't make it, the Austrians I think made it first. But at the time, they made a Polymer stripper clip that still used one of the metal guides. and they're black, they're five rounders and they're fairly snug. I mean once the ammunition is on the stripper clip, it's just because it's a tight fit that it stays there. It doesn't have little dog ears, you know, either end, you know, the brass or sheet metal that come up to kind of hold the rounds in place when they're jiggling around in your web gear. Or if you just had them at an ambulance camp. That's a system that I've got for that Ruger AC55C. Oh, he wants a cut down minotaur team system. I'd like to do something like that. If the NC Star clips, if they'll work with the rifle charger guide, you know, if you, that 10 round NC Star crest type look like it would work best. But that's no longer available. If they work in the charging guide and then be able to load mays like that, that's what a man wants, something that'll, you know, need it to work however you need it to work. Now, I'll tell you who else to give a call to, and this is true for strippers anyway, Apex Gun Parts, Call the Dead. None of these companies, none of them have everything in their internet page, none of them. And each one of these companies, if you know what you're looking for, if you bring it up, they might actually have something where they have a last box or at least a clutch of or maybe even part of a pallet of something. Because this is one of those bulk items that traditionally they used to have, you know, they were a wash in. Anything like this was stripper clips, guides, all of that. You know, there used to be, you know, it was, yeah, it was a dime a dozen thing. You know, in fact it was, yeah, a dime for a dozen. So the thing is that there's usually a pile of the stuff laying around and there's two things that happen, either A, they don't feel they need to list it, or they just figure whoever's interested will ask and they don't just want to give it out to anybody. And it sounds weird, but it's, you know, some people appreciate things. And if you're serious, you get it. In other words, if you hunt it down, you'll get it. But as far as them making the effort to post it, it's not as likely. But Apex is pretty good to deal with. ApexGunParts.com, number one. Number two is Numeric Arms, because Numeric Arms is the same thing. They originally started out like some dairy barn complex. I've only been there once, decades ago. And I don't know if they changed to a big old conventional warehouse, but they had building after building after building full to the roof. And they, whoever was operating it was the guy who remembered where everything was. But every once in a while, I'm sure they forgot where some things were. And that's another company where if you can, you want to talk and say, hey, I'm looking for this and I want a lot of them. And I really would, do you have anything like laying around? because the the in the older companies they've got stuff stashed everywhere and Every once in a while the jog their own memory and go. Oh, yeah. Well as a matter of fact we do Yeah, yeah, hold on a second. Let me hold a bob. He's better back there in the corner of the warehouse under the tarps where nobody knows anymore Yeah, that's why I got the little Mustang. I've got This is there for 20 some years sitting under a tarp over the corner of a warehouse almost 30 some years actually And again, the big go ahead. I was just wondering if a 3D printing is that would be a viable option? Yes, it would be. Yes, absolutely. That would be the other direction whoever now by the way, one of our listeners right now sent me a sample of what was the 3D printed version of one of the gas mask adapters. to go the other way because you know we've got the big to the small but how about small to take you know in the big 40 you know the 60 millimeter filters. Well it was 3D printed it's a great job looks finished looks great. I think that for me first of all remember this stripper clips are a discardable item. So once you make one, once you make it, you want to be able to build it in such a way that you can just crank the snot out of them. And it's kind of like I said about ammunition with Palmetto. The more you can make, the less the cost is, you can bring the cost down, you can get production up, and you increase production. And 3D printing a stripper clip would not be a problem. I'm surprised. I would prefer to reuse them, but not necessary, right? Right, remember, they were... I would prefer them to be usable, that we could use them more than one time, but, you know, because you could, you use the stripper clips sometimes to load your speed loaders. You know, you stick jam your stripper clips into the speed loaders and load them that way and then the speed gets them all into the mag at one time. Right, that's what you're saying, is again, using these, see, 3D printing would be a solution, but it's going through the math and it's not a big deal to do the R&D in that. I think they're doing Carcano stripper clips, you know, the D type Carcano clip in polymer in 3D printing now, which I couldn't understand why somebody had that. That's where the 3D printing would make sense because the stripper clips are supposed to be a half a penny a piece to make or a few pennies to make. And if you lose it, you don't go, oh, my God, I lost my goodie. Whereas now, let me give an example. Those Carcano stripper clips are $6 apiece. We used to buy them by the bucket. You could buy a bucket of them for three dollars. Nobody wanted them. I told everybody this before. Everybody poo-pooed the Carcano. Now that the Carcano is the dominant surplus rifle, everybody's oohing it and eyeing it. But I promoted the Carcano all for as long as I've ever been alive. I think it was a great rifle. It was fun to shoot. Cheap to shoot. Why? Because nobody wanted them. Now, it's the only thing you can get in the surplus or one of the dominant rifles. So, you know, that's affordable. So everybody gobbled up the stripper clips and now the stripper clip is a six dollar item. So whoever makes one cheaper gets rich. And in this case what you're saying, or in this case combat wise, is ahead of the curve. And we need the main battle rifles to operate and be swung around faster. If we empty mags, we need to be able to bring the mags back online as quickly as we can. Because it's very obvious we're gonna be dealing with a lot of smaller armor tech that we need the main battle rifles for. The government's admitted after all these years that the 6.8 millimeter, in other words, it's 51 millimeter long and it's 6.8, that's the main battle rifle cartridge. Well, that's what we've been promoting, but they don't want to acknowledge that. So instead of just riding with the 7.60x51 NATO, they had to make a whole stupid new projectile, and they didn't need to. I heard another voice call, jump in there please. Yeah, sex mix. Don't forget that that Carcano without that stripper clip that that rifle is just a single shot. Yep, exactly. It's got the big clip of the brands of shoot you pass them lately and it's like oh my lord sit down. Well, and there again now that is where somebody needs to, well they could do it. I think you could 3D print that. If you're willing to, what you're going to have to spend your money on is the resin. Whatever it is, it's a bonding resin. And I guarantee that for 3D printing, they're making, it's kind of like making metal. They're making any level of adhesive or bonding material that you want. If you're willing to spend the money, by God, they can make it work. But again, the balance with weapons, especially with the perishable parts, is always, at what point is it really useful or viable if you have another solution, a cheaper one, that requires more machinery maybe, but still cranks up more product for less money? The whole idea behind just like I said about bullets, the government proved years ago, nothing they're doing now is new. There's nothing they're doing new in ammunition. Absolutely nothing. The seven black books of ordinance cover everything. And between that and the donut of destruction research was done. everything you can imagine, even like stripper clips, say in the day, Polymer was not just discussed, it was tested back in the 60s, but by US military standards, it wasn't considered acceptable. Now that was by that period. Now today, I'm sure it passed muster, I'm sure they just run it through. It's like the, yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry. I was trying to while I was talking about 3D printing, something I'd asked about before was a battery solution for an ANPVS2 night vision scope. And I run across where a man had used a 3D printer. It's basically like a bored out sleeve, a plastic sleeve, and it has two CR2 battery stack nose to tail that slid up in it and then it'll fit up into the assembly there like a regular battery. That makes sense. Yeah, you see that's what I'm saying though about it's true with radio equipment from that from the you know, the Vietnam and post Vietnam era. They made all of the night vision proprietary so that if you lost a piece of equipment, nobody could readily acquire batteries to keep it running for an extended period of time. But in the real world, as we know, or where we are, we're more concerned with the idea to keep it running cheapest and, you know, cheapest longest and making up alternate battery packs is the way to go. Or in fact, it might be crude, might not look pretty. I've seen them take and make, now this is one thing we hadn't talked about before, but I think you've seen them. What they did is, since the proprietary batteries simply were not available, They were making a tube that sat right over top of like where your forehead is. You know how the frame is on the device, you probably got it. Basically where your forehead would sit when you're sitting behind it, they mounted the tube there. So if you were looking through it, it would be just about where your eyebrow is. And that was the solution, running a couple of leads in and locking in the, I don't know if they soldered the leads in or whatever. One of the reasons I say don't get rid of old battery or battery cases, especially old battery, proprietary batteries, is because what you do is you open up and haul out the battery, okay, take the battery, take the debris out because it might be dangerous if it leaks, bleeds, or whatever. But you take the hull and you know if it's just too small because the battery literally fit within this trough that they made. Instead, you run a couple of leads, make a whole new battery assembly, you know, buy one. There's six of them I've got sitting here. It's six different sizes right now, so I can always test other ones. Test it with other pieces of equipment. And then you run your leads off of the battery. You don't mess up the unit because you might run into some batteries. So what you want is to take that dead tired old beat up battery, clean it up, make sure the leads are good. Open up the battery on internally to gut out the filament. And then taking the solder your connections to that. And that way you can even close the thing back up with the original covers and run the battery pack on the outside of the fixture, outside of the equipment and make it work for you. That should be the priority. Go ahead, I'm sorry. Oh, I was going to say, I mean, that design was just so stinking simple. I mean, it looks like they took a roughly the size of a decal battery and bored out you know about this the center half of it and then just slid you know little two little CR2 batteries in it and problem solved. Yep exactly and again you're not adding that much weight or any significant way with polylid plastic I mean there's nothing nothing to worry that much about and the other cool thing is... Oh, the biggest problem you run into is, you know, it runs off six volts and you know, but it sets everything up with the two batteries there that, you know, it takes care of your voltage requirements and stuff. So, um, well, well, I did not think of that. I'm out. I step out. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you, sir. Anyway, I tell you what, we are at the top for everybody out there. It is six o'clock and we're going to hear the music here in a moment. Also, the unit pins for the second raider, I'm holding one, the pewter unit pins for your headgear have come in. The pewter, in fact, it is phenomenal, and it was actually brought in from Scotland. So for everybody out there, you got to come pick up your insignia, and you need to come and pick up your unit bar, your unit pin. And it is, these are pewter, these are not pop metal, these are pewter. They are also irreplaceable, one of a kind that's intentional. And, oh. Got any chaplain insignia there, buddy? No, no, no. This is, well, this is a, this is actually for all parties. This was, this would be, this goes over the crust on the, on the beret. This is a unit item. This is an individual unit heraldry. But, um, As a matter of fact, on the chaplain's insignia, we're going to do something to embellish that a little bit. The standard cross is what traditionally has been used, and that's what we've stuck with. But I think we're going to add a little fur to our insignia there. And again, the unit, the buret crest, this particular buret crest is unique. So it was done by one of the young guys as an artist. They did the original sand, lost wax, modeled the sample, the example, everybody liked it. And so they have these, these are complete and they can make more, but the first run is done. And for those people who've been waiting for that, also paid for it, minimal cost, was amazed, could have been a lot more expensive, I'd seen worse. Anyway, we should be hearing the music. We are at the top. For everybody out there, this is Liberty Tree Radio, the4ma.com. God bless our republic. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this the land of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep and dead. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children? to live in fear and be a slave. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God, get the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave the land of the food home ladies and gentlemen, this is the Second hour of the intelligence report. I'm our currently One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West, North, Northwest, and East. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com Libertytreeradio.org and we are on satellite. Let's say hi to all our merchant radar printers out there. No matter what body of water you're on or what war zone you're in or whether you're sitting behind a bridge, well the ship plugged into it and well the bridge is knocked over. Anyway, we're also a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. It is Monday! Yes, it's Monday! It is the 22nd of April. It is the 16th year of open obvious and in-your-face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with the K2024 Old Earth calendar, given her old shoes, Captain. And 2024, battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. And we were talking about stripper clips. There are stripper guides made for pretty much everything, okay? That's out there for some military arm over the last 100 plus years. Actually, I would have to say that's probably wrong. Stripper clips and Let's see, Mann-Lincher-type stripper clips, et cetera, go back to the 1880s, okay, for the earliest models. As a matter of fact, Hunter's Lodge has something interesting listed in their page. Now, their page is kind of weird, and mostly you have to deal with them by phone. And they do not take credit cards, they use cash or checks or money orders, strangely enough, but interesting. Again, that is Hunter's Lodge. Well, if you go to their page, they've set up the advertising for their present surplus items and antiques. The way you used to see a shotgun news ad. It looks like a shotgun news page. There are three separate, at least little pages that you'll find. What is interesting is that they list, and since we're talking about stripper clips, they're listing 1888 Gewehr Mausers for $103, no FFL. Now, let me help you with something. First of all, understand that the Gewehr 88 takes a different eight millimeter Mauser around. Oh, darn. Well, it doesn't mean you can't load it, but the pressures, the cup pressure is different. The 88 was the earliest of the small bore bolt action infantry rifles made for the German Army. It was the significant game changer in Europe. Now, what's really bizarre about the 88 is it actually has an air-cooled jacket. over top of the regular barrel, making it look very unique, okay? It actually has an air cooling jacket over top of a standoff. You still have a regular stock. Now, it looks like these stocks are broken, darn. But this is a non-FFL item that it's considered a non-firearm because it's a Gewehr 88, okay? Now, what's fascinating is used stripper clip. It takes the 88 stripper clip, predating or parallel with when the manlet your Carcano came out or in theory was put into service. And since it was 91 for the Carcano, typically there is a securely Carcano variant, many of them, and those actually are in there. If you look around, you'll find those that they're in the system again right now. You'll find them with Oh, let's see, Royal Tiger imports and I've, Hunter's Lodge might even have one. I didn't look that close. But again, these 88s are no FFL. They're an interesting item as a collector's item goes to begin with. I think they're a hand me down from another company. I think there was another Samco type company that had these years ago because there were so many of them. We used to buy these 88's for 1195 through the mail direct and you know, you can still get there still there are non non firearms should these can be delivered there's a from any one of the services and Again, you typically UPS or I need to say FedEx would be the one dropping at your door But they also have a number of other items and one of them is kind of like Hanger Queen specials but serviceable. There's some videos out there on YouTube if you want to check it out where people are unboxing Hunter Lodge special orders that they made and these items are not listed on the page. As I said earlier in the other hour, a lot of things that are out there, you actually have to get on the phone, you have to talk to people and go, hey, I want to get on the list for what you might run into. And they usually, I think they tell you what it is they know they've got on the horizon. One of the things that's been coming in from Hunter's Lodge that apparently just showed up here because I've seen the images are top break Enfield pistols, nothing to write home about, nothing fancy, but they're serviceable. And apparently the price was reasonable. Now they're good. They're not super pristine collector's items. They are collector's items, but they're field grade. They're used pistols. Another thing they seem to have is a number of Smith & Wesson Model X's in different conditions and kits. In other words, you get pieces, parts, and you put it all together. This includes a frame, etc. Now I will remind you, these handguns are an FFL item, so that's a little different story. But, um... with regard to the pre-98 weapons, there's a number of rifles out there that qualify and this company apparently runs into them. I will remind you that the Mosin they got came out before 1898. It's the Model M1891, remember? It's the Model N... Yeah, oh, that's right. So there's a good eight years worth of production. that in reality as long as you can demonstrate the production date, makes it a non-firing weapon. Now here's what's fascinating about that. General Electric, I've told you this before, GE White, etc., made most of the guns for the Czar. And they're pre-98s. So there are American made, American steel, that were circulating for the longest time. Now some of them came back with the polar bear. We ran into a lot of them here. They came back with the polar bear troops where they boxed the weapons up, dragged them back to the US with them. And the others came from the Rennell Revolution companies back in the 50s and 60s as the guns showed up. So anyway, Hunter's Lodge, might want to check them out. That's another source for all kinds of stuff you have to ask about. Hunter's Lodge. Hunter's Lodge. Hunter's Lodge. Now I had another question because there's a bunch of this stuff showing up. And I got one in my hand. You probably can hear that. This is a double pocket grenade pouch, but it's a lot more. These are made by, well, in theory by the Israelis, I kind of doubt it. They were ripping everybody off the Brits, or they get the Belgians, so they get the Germans to make stuff for them. And then they claim that they did it. But this is traditional cotton slash canvas, but heavy gauge, not light gauge canvas. A web gear that has been out there for a while, Uzi 25 round pouches are out there, FNFAL pouches are out there, you can find canteen covers, you can find World War II equipment, all in this grade of material, very heavy grade. Now, over the last couple of years, a bunch of the Israeli gear of this type is showing up also, which means you can integrate it with the other. and make a pretty good combat load. Basically the British equivalent to it in M1956 kit. However, somebody's asking me several times today, I got some emails on this because somebody apparently picked up a ton of these from either Sportsman's Guide or one of the other surplus companies. And they didn't look at the back. I always try to find pictures and if they don't show you the back, I call because usually people don't realize what they're getting into. But what's neat about the Israeli stuff is They do put a slip, I hope everybody listening pays attention here, they make a slip that goes on the back so you can fit these things on any belt you've got. Okay, maybe it won't quite that slip, might not, well, yeah it would. You'd have to fight it out and once it's on it will be snug. But it'll probably fit on an American pistol belt, but it doesn't have clips or hangers for that, it just has a heavy gauge made of the same material as the pouch. back strap. But what does it have that's normally used or at least with the basic kit that was from back in the day? This particular pouch is made in 1982. The system you see is the British equivalent to our TA, well, forgive me, M 1956 with also called TA-56 gear. What's interesting about this is that it uses the British or the British and Belgian compression system to hold gear on the belt. What do I mean by that? Well, there's a hook top and bottom and they face each other. And there's a space, the width of your finger in between. Well, how the hell does that work? How do we get it on the grommets on my pistol belt? Well, you don't. What you do is you squeeze the belt together into a U and you fit it through those two areas and then you fight and push and fight and push. And what happens is you better make sure it's where you want it because it is friction on those two bars that holds this pouch on the combat load, on the pistol belt, the utility belt. Now you'll notice if you get any of these Belgian or Dutch or British, World War II post-World War II wet gear, which was all made basic on the Brit format, you'll see them with this type of keeper on the back. They're actually very reliable. There were also a lot cheaper to make than most of the different ideas that the US came up with. And that's what the British really needed is something that was cheap because they were poor. They had been spending their wealth of the empire for a long time and unfortunately it just kept hurting. Now this particular case- Oh, and the Crown Mile took most of that wealth, Mark. You know where that's went. You know that's where it went. Yep. Went right to the OY boys. Well, the thing about this is that again, this pattern goes back to pre-World War I. So there's a lot of different gear. Most of it you'll never see, but it actually can integrate with World War I web gear, World War II web gear, and there's a bunch of reenactment World War I and World War II stuff out there that's brand new, made on the same machinery as this stuff. So if you needed a belt, although it used to be you could find the belts laying around. I haven't seen any recently, but they're still probably out there in surplus. and the suspenders which are also a part of this integrated system. This is a double grenade pouch. Now this is the other thing you're saying, why did you put all these stamps on here Mark? Well because, I gotta admit this, this particular pouch is pretty versatile. It can hold two standard smoke grenades because the flap has three separate flaps, they're not uniformly spaced. They do match up with the three male fixture snaps on the body on each pocket. But the purpose behind this is that if I have a bigger device and there are many different types of grenades out there, as we've talked about on the air here, up to and including some of the chubby stubby rifle grenades. Well, interestingly enough, I suspect that this actually could hold a couple of the different euro short rifle packs that were out the rifle grenade units. But it provides total coverage. The flap goes over whatever type of grenade you're using, if you're using a lemon, a regular M2 frag. The only thing it might be a little deep for is the baseball that we're so familiar with. It's almost what I would say, you have to fish it out with your fingers. You have to grab it by the fuse to pull the grenade out, but you probably could put two standard baseball grenades in here and snap all three snaps to secure it, which is kind of critical when you don't want grenades to bounce around because the more grenades bounce around, the more likely it is that the fire, the forgive me, the pull pin for the safety pin for the fuse assembly will wear through. Most people don't realize that. Yeah, it was a real problem because see grenade pins are not cotter keys. That's something else I've noticed that if you watch movies, I didn't, what did I see? Oh, Lord of War, where he pulls a Russian grenade and the main character is brother, his brother is trying to blow up the stuff because there's going to be a, there's going to be a massacre if they sell the guns and he blows up one truck and he's got another grenade and he's going to blow up the other truck and the locals mow him down, but, and he's got a grenade and he still pulls the pin. And the brother comes up, grabs the grenade out, reaches around, squeezes the grenade, and puts the pin back in. So neat and so perfect, because they're using a regular cotter key for a prop, okay? The grenade pin cotter or the retainer is flexible. It's designed so that it curls over dramatically, but it has to be able to compress and straighten itself out as you pull it through with some resistance. It has to be able to reform to the center center design that it was originally intended to be in when you insert it through the hole. But it can't be a cotter key or a cotter pin because they're designed to be pretty tough and made out of a better steel. It's a malleable metal that's used for that pin. So here's the problem. If you're walking along and you keep carrying that same grenade, and you've got it, I've told you before, everything wears. The military knows this with even mammary pouches. There's a wear machine that tests how many flexes it can handle. Well, when you walk along those sharp edges on the spoon, of the grenade, which didn't worry about trying to finish this stuff out that well. It's the holes drilled, they buff it, unbur it, if there's any possibility. But remember, it's a throwaway item, like talking about. You're not going to say it's a throwaway item, and it better be a throwaway item. Yeah, we can't hang onto it and keep it, sir, nor reuse it. But for this reason, the pull pin is a malleable metal. Well, when you walk along, That sharp edge alone, just that stupid little sharp edge, with you making that step forward and then the other leg goes forward and then your body pivots a little bit with the other leg going forward, creates this fine wear and wear and rub and wear and rub. And it has happened where firing pins, or I keep saying that, grenade pins will wear through, drop off and nobody realizes it and all of a sudden a grenade goes off and you know, somebody's hip. It's happened many times. Well, and not as much as you is, you know, to the point where, oh my God, slaughtered everybody. But it's the idea that you see you're carrying the equipment you've got, you should be running it through, you should be using it. and prioritizing what you have on your gear. Now to prevent this, typically if you don't know, you use masking tape to tape the fuse. You put a masking tape wrap, not electrical tape, not friction tape, masking tape. And you wrap it around and you make sure it locks the pin down. You don't wanna obstruct the hole completely because you can push your finger through the masking tape when you wanna rip the thing open. It's not hard to do, but that tape is a safety, an additional safety that does not impede or interfere with how you would normally use the grenade. Now it's an old trick and there's other things that, well, there actually is another safety on the grenade fuse that you don't see 99% of the time. But when you're prepping a grenade for actual use, When the fuse comes out separately if the if the body is in one box and the fuses are in the other or even if the fuse is in the grenade and it's already nested because there are several different ways that grenades come in from the factory and then TMT inventory and There is a small wire keeper that kind of like is you know for the same purpose as what I just said about using masking tape But they prefer that these be off the weapon off of the grade and so the weapon is quickly brought into service and used. The big thing about the masking tape is that through guerrilla force and motivation you'll get passed very quickly. But remembering to take the wire safety off is something many people have forgotten. So while they always joke about pulling the pin, you know, and throwing the pin instead of the grenade, you might as well. Because if the other safety, the other wire safety is still in place, the grenade's not gonna go off because the spoon's not gonna leave the fuse. Okay, just little things to remember here. So again, this is why With these particular pouches, these are a complete encapsulation of the grenade. They're covered in all sides. That backing though is a British pattern. That's why I wanted to address this because I've had a lot of questions. There's been a bunch of this stuff coming in. And in fact, one of the companies that had it was Sarco. I don't know how much they have left, but Sarco also sells brand new reproduction in the same heavy canvas that we have like I have right here, the heavy duck. for a pretty good price actually. And so again, if you were to commit to this, you can take the same system and use it with your standard pistol belt. But I will point out that the British system, there's like a almost like an internal roll So you have a bulge at the top of the pistol belt and the bottom, and when you squeeze it into place, that little bulge is what helps to create enough tension to keep these things where they need to be and doesn't allow them to back off or flop off the web gear. Now you still compress these keepers, and you have to look at it. If you go to Sportsman's Guide, now I wanted to bring this up because yes, I have these. These are the grenade pouches, and I've got probably several thousand of them. But I have wanted to and never bothered to see what other mags would probably work as far as magazines. Well, it's a grain pouch, yeah. But it's a double pocket pouch. It might, it might, and I have still to fight two of them in. Aluminum AR-15 20 round mags might fit nicely two on each side because you got to also stretch this stuff out. I will remind everybody that while this is brand new old inventory, cloth and leather shrink. Now, they'll both stretch back out. And so in this case, since these aren't quite as old as some of the others, although 1982 you do the math, in many cases what you want to do is you cut a piece of board of two by or four by, you cut it down to proper dimension, and you literally put it inside these pouches and stretch them back out. You put two blocks together, make two pieces of expander. and this creates a form and helps to, you know, square, push, you know, stretch all the fiber out, stretch the weave out. Now, why do I bring this grenade pouch out? Well, because so many of you asked, but also over at Sportsman's Guide, if you have a bolt-action rifle and you're looking for a magazine, or I should say an ammunition system, right now over at Sportsman's Guide, I think it's, again, that magic number, I think it's $2.69, will get you two pyramid three pocket British web gear system ammunition holders. Okay, pocket, you know, there's two pockets down below, another one above, and then you have the standard buckler because these hang only, these are the suspender straps for the web gear come down through that piece of equipment and lock onto it. Now, these have the same, these pouches, which are cheap, they're dirt cheap over at sportsman's guide right now. I looked at them three hours ago. It is a hell of a deal for what they are because to make one is more trouble than it's worth for you most of the time if you can get it for cheap. And the price that they've got is two of these, they're used, but they're two sets of three. And instead of the cartridge belt going out, which by the way, you still could do that, you can find there are other British made pockets that are side by side. So you could take that triangle system, put that on the belt, add two or three pockets on the side, and you're carrying six individual pockets with two stripper clips of five rounds each. whether it be Mauser or 303 British or if you wanted to carry Carcano, stripper clips, if you're wanting to put a web gear set together for a rifle like that. But if you also have a lot of your sporting rifles, carrying your ammunition in this system makes more sense than a handful of chiclets. Something just stuck in your pocket. So the same gear, you can actually find all the components if you cherry pick. And over at Sportsman's Guide in the clearance section, two of these pouches that are for the two, each pocket carries two five round stripper clips or 10 rounds of loose ammo if you needed to. And there are three pockets to each side, each pyramid obviously, and then there's two of those sets for $2.69 and it's over at Sportsman's Guide right now. So if I'm off, let me know, they might have, you know, roller coaster on price, but again, that was also the membership price. So it's maybe 80 cents more if you buy it without being a member, which is still a steal. You can't make these things for $1.50 apiece, $1.40 apiece, just can't. It's easier for you to buy it than it is for you to make it for now. Knowing how to make it, absolutely, that's one of the things we talk about. But this is how we can afford to again spend time on more specific Unique tasks to keep everybody armed equipped and ready ready to fight There's also a bunch of other items some I can't mention until I make some calls after this hour because I want to get there first and if I mention on the air They'll probably be eaten up so fast that we will there won't there won't be any when I get there and I need them There's a bunch of I will mention stuff over there. You'll find a Bowtash, the Amendment 2 30-round mags are back up to $9 or something. That's off my radar at the moment. But they have Glock magazines, Amendment 2 Glock. They're not factory Glock. They're Amendment 2 Glock. $6.98, normally $18. So that's a big jump downwards. And for extra mags, especially if you find you've got two, And you'd rather have 12. $6.98. There are various ones, various capacity. Think just like, seven different varieties that you can get. Botash, B-O-T-A-C-H.com. Over. Excellent. And again, Botash, the clearance section for Armor, look for their clearance or police trade-ins. I haven't looked today. But there's always something new coming in and Botash for used items like that. The store in Vegas, by what our listeners have said, has a lot more than you see listed on the page. So you go over and check on the Glock mags. This allows you to put a full brace together. You should have more than three mags for each weapon. Minimal would be six, six plus one in the magazine well. That's where you should be. And I know that not everybody can do that right away, especially if you've got more than one family member you're out fitting and everybody else still has to have all the rest of the equipment that's on the list of things to do. But if at all possible, everybody pitch in, keep ticking away to make sure that you have at least six mags plus one in the magazine well for each of your semi-automatic weapons. Now, stripper clips, or forgive me stripper clips, Scott. speed loaders for revolvers are also out there. And if you're going to carry a revolver, not a problem, point click, it shoots every time, pup, pup, pup, pup, pup. The big thing is, yes, pick up speed loaders, take your picks, Sierra, HSK, whatever you choose. JG Sales has speed loaders for pretty much every revolver out there, JGSales.com. and where Dart was just mentioning bowtash. Bowtash has a lot of other clearance items. Every once in a while it'll pop up, you gotta go through their clothing. Now there, typically the big sizes obviously do go first and usually when you get down to the last of the last, it's in the small sizes. But they're so incredibly cheap that if you are looking for stuff for your small lady friends or if you have young adults that you're trying to outfit and equip, I highly recommend you go over there because some of the items are two and three dollars apiece depending on what it is you're looking for. When they get down to the end, they are trying to scrape the shelf off because they got another container coming in with more of the same. And the price goes right back up to whatever the crazy price was before, which can be, you know, 40, 50, or $100 an item. As with boots, it can be up to $200 an item. And all the other, you get a pair of boots for $20 or $22. Guess what? You scroll through later on and, oh, they still have it listed in the sales. They shouldn't, but they always grip on this. And then you tap it and you see, whoa, the price is $189 for those boots. Yep, because that's what they charge and they sell most out of that price. Same with pants, clothes, anything. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. There's a top there, Orlando. So, Atlantic Firearms, they've got bulk, they're used in four magazines, XIDF. You have to buy 100 of them, but you get them for $6.89 apiece. $6.89. That's a good price. So $689 gets you 100 mags. That's Atlantic. Excellent. Did they post then? I don't know. I was just looking for, I was just combing the internet and looking at new mags are upwards of like 15, 20 bucks. So I just typed in used in four mags and a lot of people are charging 15, 20 bucks for those as well. East Arco, if you buy them both, they're charging $7.98, but Atlantic Firearms, if you buy at least $100, it's $6.89. I would say this, and I've said this before, you might be saying to yourself, well, I've already got 15, 20 magazines, so I don't need to, but you remember back about 2003, 4, 5, when if you went on eBay, you saw retro items going up in price unbelievably high like Fiesse aware and Firettee stuff like that. They were going up in price in an environment where there was no inflation of the US currency, not like what we're seeing right now. And they weren't going up because it was kind of like a beanie baby Cabbage Patch doll moment where everyone was like, oh wow, this stuff is really cool and they started retro, started becoming a thing again. Now, can you imagine when people actually need something other than, you know, big lighters are going to become really valuable, salt, sugar, other commodities like this, and it's good to have copper pennies. But we don't really know, I don't think we know, the number of actual 30-round magazines for the ARR 15 are out there. So we can't really pinpoint of value when the balloon goes up. But one observation I made, and I'll ask you this question, and you tell me what you think. Since Crooked Hook happened, before Crooked Hook happened, you could go to the gun show, and there was always one guy at every other show that had a huge box of like five or six hundred M4 magazines, and he was selling them for five bucks apiece. Since 2012, I haven't seen anybody selling bulk M4 magazines at the gun show. And the reason I bring that up is because I think people are like, yeah, I don't want to get rid of these. And if those people aren't getting rid of them, and we're only having the value based on new production, and you only have a couple of people that are selling M4 magazines, and some of these people that are selling these magazines are all $20 a piece, Imagine when the bullets start flying and when the supply chain goes down what the value of these are going to be. Remember when crooked hook happened your PMAGs were $100 a piece and Tapco 7.62x39 magazines were $69 a piece. And that was in an environment where the bullets were not flying. And if you imagine if these larger cities like New York which is about ready to collapse, Chicago not far behind. Los Angeles not far behind when these things collapse and the Army moves in and It affects the economy and supply chain and everything. I would not be surprised especially if the government says No more production of air 15 magazines or you're putting a moratorium on cells of magazines and rifles and stuff like this I would not be surprised to see the the price and the value of course of these informags 30 round magazines go up to over $1,000 a piece. I wouldn't be surprised at all. Tell me if I'm wrong. Well, no, the black market. Okay, this is the problem. What will happen is you're already starting to see where they're pushing this with the interpretation through the bat faggots with regard to gun shows. Purely what this is trying to do is disrupt the supply chain which is the most common casual way that everybody acquires material. It's not been as readily the first choice, but because internet purchasing has been going on at a massive, massive level. But there's nothing that's cheaper. And one of the things that I've said last week, at least this last couple weeks, is we're going to see a price shift even here in the next few weeks or month Because I've talked to guys that have already said the wholesaler end of the business is just got bit in the ass from production and it's skicoo up 10 20 30 percent and it all has to do with the inflation rate devaluation of the currency the purchasing power of the currency so in no matter what it's gonna keep creeping up P mags You know, actually if you notice we're leveled out there for a bit, we're coming to Neal, we're actually, you're making some pretty good deals. Right now, nobody's making any really great deals. In fact, the price keeps creeping up by a couple dollars. And unlike the past, there is no relief on the horizon because as several people have said, you know, six, seven months is like an eternity in this situation. Yep, yep it is. And if they shut the doors the rest of the way, the only thing in the short transition that's gonna save us is the fact that we do have American producers or some people who have committed to the Patriot line, kind of like Paul Meadow. Paul Meadow's done something that nobody was willing to do. They've actually been building a factory, they built. An ammunition factory inside the US instead of buying from outside production, which is what most of these fake name companies are doing. They put their name on the brass somebody makes and the ambulance somebody makes overseas. The magazines are gonna be the, we're in the same situation. People have gotten lazy. Well, we even saw this at 556. As soon as the B-witches said they're gonna cut off Lake City, could you hear everybody moan? You know why they moaned? Because everybody got lazy. Instead of building new production and cranking out more and to look at, you know, make diversified sites, they all were sharing operating Lake City, which was this new contract idea that government came up with. And everybody got to, you know, feed off that. Well, that was not accidental as far as I'm concerned. That was intentional. And now, Every aspect of what we're talking about, spare parts, magazines, ammunition is all in the same mold in that respect. What really the thing is, it's the value of a magazine is gonna be consistent with hard currency. Where it's not gonna be consistent is with white pure ours paper currency. And that will vary as we get, there's a given point where the paper currency will not have any value. example, step one in a nuclear attack or if it looked like something was escalating is use your credit cards. You'll never be back for those. Save your cash for when people start realizing the credit cards are useless and they'll expect the currency. You spend the paper currency and get rid of it. You keep your coin for last and you have your bullion for when the world really starts to work again. Mark, while... Yeah, in that aspect, I can't stress enough, you can still go on eBay right now. And before copper really goes hyperbolic, you can buy 10-pound bags of pre-83 pennies. And they're there. You can buy as many 10-pound bags as you want. And you can put them in a 5-gallon bucket or two and grab a handful on your way out and go to the market. You can buy a week's work at the groceries. That's what we're going back to. Yep, I think the biggest problem. We're gonna hold that before we further. Yeah, I heard another voice go ahead call her jumping Yeah, I was gonna say there's something for those who are interested in 40 Mar either ammunition River town munitions River town munitions River town munitions comm they have 45 ACP and two varieties they have Salir below and they have magtech Those are basically the equivalent round. I looked at the specs there within 3 or 4% of each other. 414.95, so 415 for 1,000 rounds, as cheap as 45, I mean, you can find they do not charge sales tax unless you're in Pennsylvania and the shipping is free on 1,000 rounds. Mark, excellent. Good. Jump in there. Yeah. Hey, can you touch base on that other thing that Collie was saying something about, uh, Springs going bad with loaded mags? That's a myth. Well, it depends, hold on, it depends on who made the mag, to be quite honest. Mil-spec mags are pretty much consistent. One of the problems that we have is the aff, is with aftermarket, which I don't have a problem with most aftermarket in any way, but what happened is There's three different runs that we've had and that's not any one company Everybody tried to crank out as much as they could before each of the bands and when they did that and so you know, we've talked about this several times and this on this program just in the last week is If you start running things to death quality control suffers and that's what happened with a lot of the Aftermarket mags. Pro-mag was really, you know, pro-mag was at a high point before the mag ban in what the 90s, okay? But when they realized the mag ban was coming, they could produce as much, everything they produced they could sell. So what they did is they just cranked out mags and they didn't worry. There was no go, no go gauge. And what happened is that's where we see followers, especially being too coarse because they didn't finish them. You know, they were stamped sheet metal and the follower springs were not always to spec or were weak because they also went with different stock material. And it was because they wanted to make as much money as they could off what they were allowed to do after they'd been in business for so many years with nobody bothering them. And so mostly, like 1911 Springs, nah, I've seen them loaded for 100 years and you pull them out and you know, everything is tough to unload, not because the ammunition is oxidized, because some places I've been, it's dryer than a popcorn fart. You know, you're out in the desert and I know guys who have stored stuff really well and most of the military types will hold their, you know, hold their tension and will do what they're supposed to do. But... But I still argue for the 50-50 program. In other words, if you have, you know, if you're gonna keep a combat load, have a complete combat load offline and not loaded and rotated every month or so. Some people do it every two months. Now, there's a reason, my argument is very different from what most people might think. Guys, you know matter how hard we try, people get out of the religiosity of doing maintenance on their weapons. And what that has to do with is entropy. It's not so much the mags. It's that if you get into the regiment with regard to rotating the ammo, you're going to inspect your mags which you work, you operate the mag. Okay, you get it to move, number one. But you also are probably going to inspect the weapon and lubricate it. You'll clean it, check it, lubricate it. Operate it, work the components, make them move. uh... entropy catches up with everything and oxidation catches up even with us humans uh... let's just say a yard sale there was a hell of a deal was made on an FN FAL had thirty magazines right it was a very nice FN FAL but you know what it was from a very good collection but when it was attempted to operate the rifle The action would not open the bolt was locked in place now the weapon looked beautiful But apparently having set up in the rifle rack that it was in for so long and because it was a mildly used weapon Adhesion had taken place and so what made that a $300 rifle I? The question is hmm. I don't know what's wrong with your weapon. Maybe you should Take into consideration if you're not willing to fix it, you know, in other words, you knew this was doing this and you offered it Well, I think the price is a lot lighter now magazines the biggest thing you have to remember is Most of our magazines and magazine followers until what the 90s? Were not polymer but almost always were metal. They were not dissimilar metals. So we didn't have to worry about electrolysis and But what we did have to worry about is if it's a used mag, as a caller was just mentioning, you want to take and break your mags down. You want to clean out the magazine channel itself. And then you want to take a look at the wear surfaces. And you should take a, well, I hate to do this, In the military, it's called a very light coat of oil. When we say light, we're not talking a sheen from the material. We're talking about taking a few drops, putting it on a cotton boar swab. and moving it over the metal surface areas and brushing it off again. Enough of the material will soak into the crystalline structure of the metal that it will protect it from further oxidation and it will prevent any adhesion that might take place which then develops into rust which then means you get a monument for a magazine. So that's the only consideration. And again, here's remember, you don't want P.O.L. products with your ammo. You don't store bore cleaners with ammo. You don't store oil with ammo. And you also don't want a whole lot of oil next to the ammunition that you're going to be keeping operational. So whatever you're doing here, and I know that everybody immediately thought, well, Mark, there's graphite. Yep, you can use whatever lubricant you want. But remember what the lubricant does. It creates a film. that prevents the two materials from bonding and starting to integrate with each other. That's what the lubricant does. It creates a seal over the crystal and structure of the metal. It can be dry lube, it can be any PLL product, it can be synthetic, take your pick. But that's what it does. That's what all of them do. Needless to say, the graphite is not going to probably compromise your primer because your first concern are the ethers. coming off of the POL product that will strangely enough permeate and are attracted by the paths of least resistance and the incredibly dry nature of Your your propellants. So that's the that's the caution. That's the most important thing you need to remember Go ahead. It's been recently I don't know in the last 10 years or so. There's been a rock you meant that that All those problems with lubricants is mitigated by the use of dry lube. Right, that's right. I understand what you're saying. That's my point is the graphite or any of the other types, those are dry lubricants. There are variations that whatever Molly can help. You spray the stuff in the spray can. You spray it in the magazine well and the magazine and the follower magically start going up and down again. There's no residue, it's kind of self-cleaning. Everybody should have it in a kit. Buy a whole case of it. Well, I'll be quite honest, okay? A competition shooting. Again, don't do this. Don't do this. Don't do this. Unless you have to. But we were in a national match in Iowa, okay? And they brought in a batch of ammunition and I don't know where the hell it came from. But what happened? But the 22 ammunition was so fouled, was so dirty that it was a Winchester load. It was a Winchester production run that the tighter competition pistols were all malfunctioning. First thing, this is a thing you don't do unless you're doing it right away. It would take WD-40 or whatever lubricant they had, load the magazine, spray down into the magazine. Well, this is not what you do at home. Now you try not to do this ever. But in this case, because the ammunition is going to be shot immediately, it provided lubricant, which what it did is it liquefied the carbon buildup that was in the weapon. So it allowed for it to be more effectively sloughed out of the way by the magazine and the follower and the ammunition as it was moving. In reality, the first choice is everybody went out to the local gun shops, immediately sent runners out. And we cleared the shelves off of every Eli and every other 22 match round that was available. I mean, I had to probably restock for, took me a year to restock, it's hard to find the stuff. But That's a solution and that was with conventional lubricants. Now dry lubricants eradicate a lot of these issues, but you still want to disassemble everything. You need to do maintenance on the mags once in a while. Disassemble them, strip, you know, run a cloth up inside and use a cleaning rod, a punky plastic cleaning rod. Go get yourself a cheapy one like they provide some of the less expensive handguns. It's perfect for doing mag maintenance. and you want to get it running up in there. Not because of weapon fouling from the carbon, although that's another issue if you've been using the mags a lot, because carbon, no matter how hard we try, even with smokeless powder that is using a non-corrosive primer, carbon filament, carbon material and buildup, attracts moisture. First of all, you've created a combustion expansion and trade-off for energy. And you literally have an H2O negative environment. That material, that residue then hits the surface. Air has water, whatever the humidity level is. It bonds to the carbon. The carbon keeps it in place and oxidation will progress. So you want to do the magazine clean, but also because even if I'm carrying my web gear, and in fact a lot of guys, this is true, you all know this, and I don't like them, I really don't, but they are fast, so if you're using a lot of mags, those open top magazine pouches. They're standard, there's whatever percentage of guys are using them, and a lot of people do. Well, that means that your equipment is exposed to dust of the road, debris and sediment and crap just falling along when you're moving through a foliage, a foliated area. And that's all build up that creates organic residue. So you need to remember that if you're gonna use those types of systems, then you're gonna probably burn mags. The reason you're carrying that is because you're burning mags. It reduces one step and try to fight a flap on a pouch. But the flap on the pouch is designed to keep everything that much cleaner, depending upon the environment and prevent moisture. Because the other problem you got is if you've got an open top mag and of course, they usually here's what's cute. If they've got the open top mag, they probably bought mag caps. Well, wait a minute, that kind of defeats purpose even though I know and I've got billions of them from World War II for the carbine. Now you've got to flip that off in order to get the mag into service, so that's another step you've got to take. And the purpose behind the open top mag pouches is to eradicate everything but rip it out of the pocket, stuff it in the magazine well, and drop the mag and redo it again. So yes, the dry lubes help, but we're not going to always have them. And the other thing is they're the minority in terms of lubricants. Let's take into consideration one last thing. We're going to war. The lubricants that you have now and the sophisticated technologies you have are going to be gone. If you are a believer of, I mean if you like the idea, and I do, I think the dry lubes are great, but they're also expensive. is buy more, buy more now. It's one of the things on the list of things to do because it's good for your AR to work with your AK, you'll work on your M14, not just on the mags, but on the weapons themselves. But at a given point, you're gonna run out. You're gonna clean the weapon or you're gonna run in the field, you're gonna run out. Now we're gonna end up going to oil. So we need to understand the methods for using whatever P.O.L. products are available, not just the dry lube systems. And again, always remember, ultra light. Just in other words, literally a drop on a cleaning patch. Let it soak in, don't let it build up and think, oh, then I'll get a bunch of goopy down on the component. I only need to seal the crystalline structure of the metal. I only need to put enough on there so that it prevents the whatever else is out there, moisture, whatever, from permeating the metal and starting the oxidation process. Because that is where you get adhesion, where things break down. And then carbon coming in is the other half of what creates adhesion. It's like fine, fine, fine emery cloth. Just think of it that way, guys. And all of our weapons have this problem, which is some are more forgiving and the AK is a lot more forgiving. The Hugo of Warsaw potato shooter, no potato gun. Those people like vodka anyway. So we're at the top, guys, everybody out there, thank you for the input. And also again, over in the landing, 100 M4 mags for 689. Friends will do it, they're ahead of Harvey. All work, Republican. We were torn and dirty as three cornered hat, speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to cure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the leg brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You 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 raped. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God, get the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for when Gentlemen, 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, and... Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite. We see all our merchant marine operators out there no matter what body of water you are sitting on. Appreciate in some cases in a war zone. Others, well, stuck behind a bridge in the ship. Only a few of you there, but quite a few others all over the planet every day. If the ocean doesn't get you a small arms fire or a missile might, that's not good. So please be careful on the great seas, the oceans, the waterways, the canals, etc. Yeah, the Suez Canal. Haven't talked about the Suez Canal in a while, have they? What happens if that gets shut down again? Just that one aspect of shipping and how it changes the dynamic. Anyway, it is Monday. It is the 22nd of April. This is the 16th year of Open Obvious, an in-ear face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2024. Old Earth calendar, 2024 Battle for the Republic, book one, The Dance of Swords. A couple things we were talking about this last two hour block and I would just want to reinforce. Number one, whatever you're choosing for lubricants, remember to be spare in most cases unless there is a very specific reason. Most of you don't have belt-fed weapons, right? Certain older belt-fed weapons actually had oiling stations, okay? There's a lot of interesting weapons or massive wars. I don't think you have any of that on any of your modern guns. But understanding how to use all the different lubricants that are available simply because you're gonna run out of the high tech. It's not an if, it's just a when. Now, we're always gonna be scavenging and keeping an eyeball out for the best available, but we're probably gonna have to settle for second or third. Always remember that. So improvising, adapting, and overcoming accordingly is something we need to think about. Automotive oil is readily available, and if all else fails, and if you have to breach a fragged or blown out engine in a wreck to acquire additional POL, petroleum oil and lubricant products, so be it. That's one of the things that can happen. Just that bad? Yeah, that bad and worse. The shipping isn't going to be coming in from anywhere if the economy continues to go as it is because people aren't going to give you anything for free. It's just that simple. If there isn't any negotiable, you know, instrument that can work and they've screwed us intentionally, which they have, this latest batch of money going out of the country is absolute pure money laundering. That's all they're doing. The tens and tens of billions of dollars they're stealing for the Jewish mafia in Ukraine and the Jewish mafia that runs Ukraine, which is Israel. These turds, they're just money laundering. That's all that they did. Whatever it is that this speaker of the house caved into, it doesn't make any difference. And interestingly enough, I want everybody to think about something here with this. It's just like the Petosniffer Meat Puppet. Do we want the Petosniffer Meat Puppet in Peach? No, you need to stay, He-She-It needs to stay right where that robot stuff, you know, I don't know, scarecrow. Whatever they're using, robotic with a flesh suit, a silicone flesh suit, let it stay right where it is. Kamala, the brain horse, Harris, does not need to be benchmarked as president. We don't need that turned anywhere near the office. Now granted, they might not even let that happen. The ring knockers on the other side are already demonstrating with what they've done in the last month in multiple tiers that the rules are out the window. You just saw that with the impeachment of Mallorca's, the fact that they just, who's not gonna do it? But it's policy, no, they're just not gonna do it. Now you think about that. So there is no solution from with regard to that, go ahead, call or jump in there. Yeah, you got John here Spotted an interesting thing at my local shop here today And I'm sitting there wondering well, I know it could be reproduced but What on earth would I do getting this thing? Just came in in a case and everything an RPG to oh, yeah complete thing You know just all there. I'm sure it's D milled in some fashion, but it's in good shape I'm sitting there. Oh no, they're... I think I want to buy that. How much do they want for it? They haven't got it logged in in price yet. Oh, okay. Well, again, see, those are serviceable weapons. They're just... You see, the RPG is purely recoilless. The RPG-2. It was in reality, the Russians didn't invent that, nor did the Chinese. That is the actual Panzerfoss II as it would have gone into service. Because the, yeah, the Panzerfrost one was the throwaway. And what the problem is, you have to use a seamless tube to get the job done. So every time you fired it, they were supposed to carry the empty back and send it back to the system for reloading, which they did with a lot of ammunition empties in World War II. The Germans especially, they recycled everything nonstop. And they didn't scrap it, they actually rebuilt it, okay? But the logic was instead come up with a round that you can load in and just keep using the same tube, now we don't have to ship all that weight. All we do is ship the warhead in a charge. So it's still a viable weapon. The only reason they've done away with it or you see these cobbled up is because RPG7s are a drug on the market. So the RPG2 is almost a giveaway from the Runner Revolution perspective. That's why there's nothing wrong with the weapon. And what you're saying is true, it's better to have a working template than it is to guess and kind of get close. Right? Yeah. So I'm going to see what they want for it, and I'll let you know if anything transpires from that. On the lean side of things, remember I was talking to you about leans? I've been looking. You've got a lot of people that want to sell you stuff. A lot of liens, you know, for property and stuff like that, very few on politicians. There was a lady on YouTube giving a heads up for a product she claims is really good. But judging by the way she was talking and everything, she didn't really have a lot of experience with it. In other words, it looks like a bunch of generic templates that you fill out depending on your state. And there's no price, no nothing. Nowhere to tell you to go look here and or anything so I'm still looking but once I come up with If I get together with you and figure out how to do it There's three of the local folks here that are gonna get lean slapped on their bond period Well, I was already out to I was out and about yesterday or not yesterday God seems like whole day in one day, right? Today, I was actually going through the files, but I've only spent so much time because we were in a mad rush to get back here. But I've got an idea where everything is. I just have to get through three different four drawer files and find the file that we need. So, and I got to go slow because I've jammed, you know how it is. I actually have, well, there's stuff on the other side of the state pertaining to this also. One of the things about this particular process is some of the We reach peaks and peaks, peaks and peaks, peak or peak. We reach plateaus where everybody's really into and is developed and perfected. Then it disappears through osmosis and attrition, people passing away, etc. And that's really what's happened. All of a sudden, everybody's rediscovering the trespass laws, for instance. And the best work that I've seen was done in the 90s, middle 90s typically, but it comes out of the 1980s window, the 1980s decade. And that's what I'm looking for because it was all applied. Everything was used. There's not guesswork on this. Most people have resurrected what they had in somebody's library, a private library, and they've looked at it, they've probably studied it. They're not completely aware of how it can be used, but they understand that it has been used. And that's where we need to kind of change that a bit. Because again, the only thing that will determine how far that will go is how quickly the ring knockers tell somebody, you know, you have to put the kibosh to this. It's not that it'll be wrong. It's just that they'll eventually like we just saw with the Congress, you know with Senate They just ignore it. What did they just do with the by Urquhart's impeachment? There's no Yeah, and it's obvious. In fact, I was looking at some stuff here just doing readers digest past scan With some of the stuff from this last day here two days Which I was talking about during the tour block, we never really get into is, has anybody noticed how much stuff they're pulling on a Sunday now? And I'm not talking about political, chicanery, play acting, I'm talking about laws. There has been a disproportionate amount of intentional Sunday legislative activity taking place, never seen before. And I think everybody better pay attention because they're kind of laughing their ass off. This is part of that hate on Christianity thing. So this last weekend, we had a number of ends last weekend before two weekends ago and this last weekend. On Sunday, there were a number of pieces of legislation that were passed at both the state level and some of these things we're moving through committee on the at the federal level. And it is unheard of. Guys, the business calendar for the states and the feds are posted a year in advance. And these are out of sync with their activities. But they're letting them ride. So my attitude is, it's just like we've said, they're gonna go ahead and just do what they're gonna do. The election, there isn't gonna be an election in November. I personally think they're just setting the stage for what they think is going to be their jump off with the red terror scam and try and murder as many of us as they can because supposedly we'll get caught flat-footed and we're not. But guys, everybody better be sharpening knives, loading magazines, squaring your equipment away and making sure they got the weapons that they need. Well, that's why I was looking at that RPG too because like you said, you got a perfect template there and how to reproduce. Interestingly enough, okay, there are RPG7s out there also. Now, my attitude, okay, here's the thing. The RPG7, it's not the launcher that's sophisticated. It is the rocket, okay, forgive me, the combat load, because the only difference really between RPG-II and RPG-7, all basic components side by side, is that you have a rocket booster charge with the RPG-7, which increases its range and gives it greater lift capacity at range with a more significant warhead. But, you know, the RPG-2, if it's used in a family of weapons in anti-tank, is more than viable enough. And in fact, the RPG-2, like with anything else, it's the equivalent to, say, the laws rocket. You know, the M72 laws. That's its niche. And you know what? We're doing those. Everybody goes, well, that's obsolete, really. You have been keeping up. I noticed that there was a little piece that was done here about a year ago and I mentioned it out in the air. By the way, America is making the laws rocket. And it's like, really? Because when they did away with the laws, they bad mouthed it. They always do this with our own weapons. They have to bad mouth it so that if you know anything about it, you're not supposed to say anything because you'll feel embarrassed. And what's fascinating is literally it is the exact same system except they're not building it in America. They took all the technology out of the country, it's a simple design. And in fact, they're even using the very argument that was used when the law came out that you can carry two laws for the price of one of any of the other light anti-tank weapons available. Well, duh. So, but have they increased or dramatically the penetration of the weapon? No. Not at all. It does the same, it does a good job, it does the same work it did before. So why is it acceptable? Well, it was acceptable before it's just it was too cheap. They wanted to spend big bucks. Now what's happened and we've come full circle. They've screwed the country, raped the Treasury. So they got to find something that they can charge the same prices if it were for the most state of the art. Because I guarantee they're not getting it much cheaper. Okay, they're getting probably charging six times the price, what it really should cost. But the fact is that they're going to that because they're building a cheaper product, but they're demanding the same amount of money for replacements for the system, as if it were the more expensive model. But as far as building it goes, it is very straightforward mechanically. In fact, ridiculously so. In fact, I would go, okay, the Russians use, now there's two systems. Depending on what year that was made, it has the dual D-cell type or the double D-cell side-by-side battery that was typical for the Warsaw Pact. But it may also have the Magneto activator, which is also what you have in the RPG-7. And people, you know, you might recall guys, I pointed this out when they came out, you see these squeeze flashlights that came from Russia where you go, now one model is a mine type flashlight. Actually, it's one that built for the mines for the last 100 years. What's interesting is they took that applied it and that is the activator for the RPG seven. So one of the things you could do with the RPG two is go to a system of that type if you had a mechanical solution available that was reasonably priced or could be could be accessed for little and nothing. Otherwise, a battery-activated system is as good as anything else you could do, so you can keep your cost minimal on that. Again, it's recoilless, as you know, so the big issue, the number one and most important and most expensive component of the whole damn thing is the simple tube that it's made out of. That's it. Everything else is cut and dry, straightforward, you know, plumbing. And as you've noticed, it doesn't have a dual grip system. It has a single, you have a wooden or a phenolic stand-off tube over top of the main tube. And if you look at, go study the way that you were supposed to hold the weapon because the RPG has, of course, the dual, you know, bicycle grip. But the RPG-2, you took your left hand, you bring it over in front of you, and you grip the standoff because that gives you insulation from the tube. And then obviously your trigger finger controls the trigger grip assembly, and then you have simple straightforward iron sight, or it would take an optic, but was typically not used with an optic. It could go either way. The optic on the RPG-2 originally, or forgive me, the RPG-2, looked a lot like the M, oh come on, the 2.35 inch rocket launcher, the Bazooka from World War II. It's a single aperture with a post and V type, or a post and incremental type overlay for guesstimating range, okay, for engaging at different ranges. And, otherwise though, the iron sight is as commonly used as not. Once you're familiar with it, the optics aren't really needed, considering the ranges. So, it's a good design. Well, I'll let you know. I'm going to check it out once you get it logged in and see what A, the price is, and B, what what it really looks like on the other side because all I did was open up the case and I just saw the top side up. I didn't see the bottom side down yet. And I let you know. Very good. At the very least it gives you the specs, right? Remember, it gives you all the proper dimensions. Let me go from there. Well, let go. I'll hop off and let you get back to the show here. And when you find those papers, I don't want templates to fill out with other people's information that I key over. I want to do my own. Does that make sense? Right. But what I'm looking for are the actual cases which are exactly what you're planning on doing. Because you literally can't carbon copy right over the – you just slide one name out and the other name in. Okay, because the these issues have to do with exactly what you're dealing with with these particular cases. That's what I'm looking for There is like I said, you don't have to reinvent the wheel somebody already already did you know already did all the work we just got to Confirm that we've got the right documents And then go from there. I'm also looking I'm also looking forward to the winter war coming and I sent you the money last week I want to get on those books that you wrote Yes, you're in, actually it's already in the box sitting right here as a matter of fact. Not right here now because Nancy carried away with me. I see what kind of a writer you are. I see what kind of an author you are. I use Crayola. Okay, I'm good with that. I'm a marine. Blood's so crayola, you know. Let's see. Intestinal gray-blue, a lot of chartreuse. Let's see. Pomegranate. And don't forget pews is in there somewhere too. Yeah, pews. All right. Well, listen. You take care of my friend and I shall talk to you a little later. Okie doke. God bless. Thank you. God bless you too, pomegranate. And real quick on that note, again, Let's remember something. There's an American made, there's a company, at least one, I think there's two now actually, that are making the RPG7. They're making an American copy for the rent revolution market and there was a big brag up that, well, ours is better and it reaches farther and it's more durable and etc, etc. Well, that's cool, provided that the price isn't, like I said, does it cost 10 times as much? You can build it and make it better. Oh, you can spend more money. But if it's a Gladius, in other words, it's a utility standard issue, it doesn't have to have a lot of bells and whistles. Of course, the American one doesn't really have, there's not much you can really do to trick out an RPG-7, except they added lots of picatinny rails so you can add all the extraneous crap you don't really need for the RPG-7 to work. Oops, did I say that? Yes, yes we did. But again, these are our light anti-tank weapons. They are designed to be part of an integrated weapons system, a combined arms team. And I will remind you, we had this discussion a couple different times over the weekend, both of the class on Saturday, or while we were discussing or talking about on Saturday, and Sunday, another event Sunday. Anti-tank weapons do not produce the images that you see in Hollywood. You're better off watching a lot of the video and combat footage that I've argued you should be watching, have been watching for the last three, four, five years out of Ukraine. Both with the militias fighting initially and then eventually with the Russians getting involved and the expansion of the war. You're going to get a better feel for the real world. You don't see if you'll notice a lot of billowous, monstrous flame. The explosions aren't as big unless it's something that really is big, proportionally big. But with an anti-tank weapon, the idea is that you're stopping or halting the target. You may get that perfect kill shot in. But that's not really what you're trying to do. You're trying first to stop it to create a target of opportunity for superior enhancement of what you did the first time around. You knock out a track, you damage the drivetrain in some way. You damage the optics in some way. You do something to damage the engine compartment, depending on the vehicle. And even an Abrams can be damaged and hurt to the point where it can be stopped. with an RPG seven or for that matter even a laws rocket. It's a matter of knowing where to place the hit and what is your purpose by being able to stop the target. Then other friendly fires from your side allied fires proceed to eliminate the target after it's been slowed down or it has been stopped. And it's cumulative damage that typically destroys an armored vehicle. It's not just a bunch of single shot hits. You would like that, but it's just not the way it works most of the time. One of the things that I'm most memorable out of Desert Dust 2 of all the footage, and you know you won't ever see it probably replayed, they played it for a little bit, then they realized, oh, we shouldn't have been showing this. The Abrams, when they got to Baghdad, they were just tearing up the town. They're talking up high speed, making zero-g pivots while they're sliding sideways, chewing up the track and tearing up the vehicle. But there's this scene where it was a classic overpass, and it's an underpass for the road that the tank is on. The expressway is overhead, and it has two separate bridges. And the Abrams moves forward towards this bridge. The gun is up at about 30 degrees as it moves forward. The commander is obviously panning for a target. They knew there was activity there. And for whatever reason, they came to a very close range within the area of the bridge. Now, I don't know who the person was. It could have been some kid that was barefoot or was wearing tennis shoes. Now, it's during the invasion. This is not afterwards with the occupation. This is during the invasion. The Abrams moves forward. And I don't care how you look at it, it was just impressive that a dinosaur hunter, taking seriously his job, is facing down. Literally, the shot came from right head on with the main gun. And it was either an RPG or one variant on a light anti-tank weapon or another, but he hit. The cherry location, I assume near the turret ring, whatever the hell it was, how he did it, you see the round come down off of the bridge. You see somebody kinda duck and run, okay, whether they're reloading or whatever they're doing, it doesn't make any difference. The Abram, first of all, it stops, just stops. The hatches pop and there's smoke billowing out from inside all over the place. All of a sudden you see the commander of the commander's side, commander's hatch, commander comes out and he has a chunk of steel, it's a piece of flat steel stuck in his head. It is about the size of his head as far as the diameter. It is like Pac-Man got hold of him as biting him from the outside, but you know there's metal because every time he moves, that whatever that is is embedded in his helmet and in his head. He comes up out of the hatch kind of wobbling, slides down the back of the turret, walks to a wheel, weeble wobbles to the edge of the back of the vehicle, slides down the back of the vehicle, which is no short distance, and flops up against the back of the tracks, the rear of the vehicle, and looks like he passes out or he's in delirium. Now, meanwhile, other crewmen, you know, get out, the loader on the left side, he gets out, and he does the same routine, only staying low. I don't know if they're taking fire, he's being precautionary. The vehicle's being engulfed in smoke now. He pops out the back, finds the commander where he is, and starts trying to move him back and away from the vehicle. Guys, this is a one-shot kill on an Abrams with what looked to be a light anti-tank weapon. No matter who you are, you got to be impressed. And you know that that kid at the other end who was probably figuring, well, I'll a chocolate bar. I want a Nestle's quick. I want a chocolate bar. I want a Nestle's quick. Pull the trigger. And the result that he got No matter what he at that moment. He was king of the hill He was he was a guy on the top of the feces pile And it's the idea that facing down a weapon like that and that's not what you want to do It isn't what you want to do But the idea that there are multiple examples of this thing they lied through their teeth about us not losing Abrams We lost a ton of Abrams We lost it. We fact let's put it this way They had to double and then double and then double our reclamation and rebuild yards here in the United States at each one of the sites. And they're literally side by side and they had to jack them in so close you can barely put a hand between one vehicle to the next. There were so many, be it blown out, shot out, or IED out. They could pick, either way, they were knocked out. So don't say it can't be done. The big thing is to get motivated, understand it's a man-made object, all man-made objects. I don't care if it's a hemorrhoid, nematode, you know, the rotary wing fill in the blank, the latest track, whatever, it's man-made. If it's man-made, it can be killed. So always remember that. Anyway, tell me what we're gonna do. We're at the little passabout. You're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org, and we are on WBCQ, the planet. And that's 6.16 is zero, regular shortwave. It is Monday, so what shall we do? Huh, I was thinking about that. In fact, I have to send an album, another album down to ED because I have, out of this massive record collection, I can't tell him to go find it because he probably couldn't. I looked for it being listed, but I don't have to. I've got it in disc copy. It is a couple of different music bits from the 1970s, mostly from 73, 72, 73, and 74. But it's interesting, lost in the dust of ages and back in the taillights quite a bit now. That's 40, almost 50 years ago now. What's interesting is the subject, the temper, and the medium that was used, okay, the technologies that were used to create the music very much, you know, in line with what we're doing right now or what we want to see right now. So just a heads up, as soon as I get it switched over to the computer, it's in front of me. I'm going to burn five or six or seven or eight discs because I always make sure I do backups to backups. And we'll be playing some of this very unique one of a kind out of studio music and also out of concert music that you just can't find. It's like I've said many times going from record to cassette to CD. Guys, a lot of stuff got absolutely lost in the shuffle. Fortunately, I ran into a person who, well, I should say ran to an estate. The person passed away and the collection of music that he had in the inventory is vast. and he collected a lot of one of the kind stuff you will never hear anywhere else. That's what we're going to be playing. So just again, we are doing music requests still. And as a matter of fact, we haven't done it in a long, long, long, long time. Edward, Battle of New Orleans. Because I had a couple of our friends from Tennessee who sent me a music request and also one of our other friends. from Alabama. So for our friends in Alabama and Tennessee, you know who you are and you always listen to 8 o'clock cuz you've been listening for a long time to the evening intel report by decades. And again, the Battle of New Orleans, that'll be our first music bit for this evening. How's that sound? And by the way, we'll be chasing them across the swamps no matter what uniform they're wearing. We aren't gonna let them get away. I think everybody knows that. Meanwhile, and again, since we hear the cue up, Ed will, if he can, he might be able to, Johnny Horton should have it. It should be in the Horton collection. So that would be the most likely. Same with Sink the Pinsmark. And I think I was actually thinking about that being the other choice of America. Here we go. Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Only he crazy we can take him by surprise if we didn't fire muskies till we looked him in the eye We held our fire till we see the faces well Then we opened up the swirl guns and really gave him will We fired our guns and the British kept the coming There wasn't as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began to run it Oh down to Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico To the Pacific Yes there was a while at Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico of the Green Beret by Barry Sadler. Again, for everybody out there, a ballad of the Green Beret. This is the original. And if you recall, kind of like Thelin Polk. Thelin Polk wrote a bunch of poetry while he was in Vietnam. And after he got back, he wrote more poetry. And it all became part of his poetry for patriots and pilgrims. And what's fascinating about that is, very sadly we're just doing the same thing. I know guys that were- Here we go. Up on the chest These are men America's best 100 men We'll test today But only three Green Beret Brain to live These are men We'll test today Green Beret Has met his fate Oppressed in his last request copies of that. I have the, Ed knows, I have both the album and I have the cassette which we transferred over to CD. But every two or three weeks we make copies for individuals that are going, man, I just wish I had a copy of, fill in the blank. And so I usually have the whole, well, the whole album is on disc now. You could buy it on disc if you wanted to, but most people don't know where to look or they might hear bits and pieces. Mostly it's veterans who wanted a copy and again I wanted to shut up because the music started but I know guys that remembered when Barry Sadler was writing his songs he'd be in the barracks in the quarters on his bunks you know playing with a guitar and he'd start working out the words for all these songs it became part of the album of course that they generated there's more just ballad of the Green Beret for everybody out there. And it's one of the few Vietnam theme music albums that you could find. So it actually is relatable to anybody who's from Vietnam, early, middle or late stages, because it references all the locations that are, you know, oh, so familiar to the guys that served there. So again, Ballad of the Green Beret, Barry Sadler. And also, I think we have, wow, yeah, we got 15 minutes. Another thing to remember here is that we have a wide range of different, well, we have no World War II vets left that are with us that are going to be serving, well, you know, what fewer left are the very youngest that were around during World War II. There's some, but we're losing all the rest of them fast. Korean War was only 10 years, not even 10 years later, five years later, so most of our Korean vets are gone too, not all. Because there are some young ones there. I know guys who were 17, of course you do the math 17 plus say 1951 52 and then oh, yeah, that's putting them up in long in the tooth And most were in the middle in their middle ages because they were called up from World War two Which is really bad. They got two wars out of the although I know guys got three Served all three World War two Korea Korea and Vietnam And not my first choice, as a matter of fact. But what's interesting about it is that because of this, there's an interesting and very different flavor to the way people were creative. And it was more personally creative in terms of their music and the work that they did. Then again, a lot of them, poetry was a very common part of the day, the education, not so much now. And so usually you will find that these balladeers also did a lot of poetry as free standing, separate from their music. And there's fascinating stuff that was done, work that was done. It's going to be, we don't want to lose it. And I know there's other people that did individual songs or did stuff and put it away and never brought it forward. They did it for their own interest, but we need to resurrect that. And that's something I'm looking at, working at right now with just putting feelers out to all of our people with, either in most cases now it's gonna either be dad or Uncle Fred, where they've inherited something or they know what Uncle Fred did. And it turns out, yeah, he wrote a few songs, kinda like Barry Sadler did before he came back. And when he came back, they had country or ballad or folk type, and they actually were recorded. There's a lot more out there than you might think. It was just more in state or maybe just in the south or it was out west. And the world was different with the way the communication system was set up. There were many hidey holes and places and bars that were more than just bars. There were places where music was played and a lot of people made their Bones in the music industry by coming from the ground up through that infrastructure, which doesn't really exist anymore. It's all plastic nowadays. But back then, there's people that places that are within an hour's drive where they're all shut down now. But back in the day, that's where all this new and independent music came from. And a lot of it was Again, because of Vietnam and the end of Vietnam, there's a window of time there where some really fantastic stuff was generated. Okay? And that's why I'm also quickly going through this record collection. This is a CD arsenal. There's 20 egg crates full of this, you know, part of this one library. And then I got another library that's, I think, of comparable quality. from another direction. And I've found some gems that are sitting right here. I've just got to transcribe them over to computer. So again, let's make sure that we take the time and preserve, but also present. If you know anything or anybody like that that had done any of that kind of work, and poetry too, by the way, we'll post that on our page. Remember, you can ship or send. A copy of something to PBN PO Box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130 PBN PO Box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130. Funny that the most common thing is, man, I wish I could find a copy of Ballad of the Green Beret. Next day I slide a copy over to the person. And it's like, oh, it's the whole album. It's not just that song. I got you the whole album and there's a little more on there too that I crunched in because you got enough space on those longer CDs. So, I ain't no sense of not putting something useful in there like a whole bunch of Patriot music. And again, usually they're rather surprised. And I do some on cassette because some people, myself included, I've got cassette machines laying left and right of me here already plugged in and we use them. It's just not popular everybody else, but I've got thousands and thousands of cassettes. So I have to be able to run them too because there's independent music there that you won't find that went over to CD. And it's amazing, as I said many times, how much has been lost just in a very few years. I'm not talking about now, I'm talking back a few decades. Each time there's a significant hole that takes place. Let's do one more fun one. That's fun. It wasn't fun. It's a killer song. The Bismarck by the same man who did Battle of New Orleans, Mr. Horton. Ed, if you could pull up, sync the Bismarck. I used to hear this on the radio in the morning when I was getting up to go to school because all these kinds of songs used to be played back then. But again, for everybody out there, If you wanna send a music request, libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Of course, you can go over to the gilded scroll, put in a request there. Ideally, send me an email at liberty at provide.net, liberty at provide.net. And sing the bismarck. The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea. Over decks were guns as big as steers and sails as big as trees. Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship, the Hood. And then for British seamen, he rung when understood. He had to sink the Bismarck, the barrel of the sea. Top those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees. We find the German battleship that's making such a fuss. We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us. Bend those guns around. When we find the Bismarck, we found the Bismarck in on that fatal day. The Bismarck started firing 15 miles away. We gotta sink the Bismarck. Was the battle sound? But when the smoke had put away, the mighty hood went down. Next long days and weary nights, they tried to bite her train. She told the people, put in her ship, put sail, Cause somewhere on that ocean, I know she's gotta be We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea They find that German battleship is making such a fuss Bismarck cause the world depends on us The dicks are running boys, there's been no guns around Bismarck, we in they saw the morning sun Ten hours away from homeland, the Bismarck made its run And for everybody out there, again, the kind of music we need, you know, not only are we looking for other authors that have done this kind of work, guys, if you want to be creative, If you can take the time, maybe have a few friends that are working with you, or you've worked with in the past, sit down, be creative, and come up with something new. Right now, we need you, especially right now. The Patriot Movement needs you right now. This is one of the many tools we need to be diversified. We need to have the entire battery of weapons in our inventory. And music is a very critical part about that. It's where we need to be motivated. You need to, you know, again, you're starting to pump the troops up. You got to get everybody focused on the mission. You can tell a story. You can take and pick it as an epic. Filk music, here's the thing. Filk music takes future, it's future history past. It's done as if it were, you were talking about an epic or an event like you just heard the song, Sink the Mismark, only it's a space battle, a space fleet, sci-fi of some kind. It can be a number of different subjects because there's fantasy, etc., also that's been done. But this is the kind of work that we need help with. And you guys probably got some idea and you thought, well, nobody's going to really be interested. Guys, we have the technicians, we have musicians and individuals who would step up, but maybe you're the musician to do the job. Don't let the other side run you down. That's the most common problem. So you would get negative response from your enemies. Randy Craig did an entire album that he financed on his own. Randy's gone. But what's interesting is, again, he sat down in studio and worked out the logistics and had a couple of the people were in the Ann Arbor area where we are. And what's interesting is he came up with a whole album of songs. Interestingly enough, the drummer, the guitars, and everything, they were all commercial artists whose name you would recognize. With bands that you would recognize. And each one came in and did their part. to do the different, you know, to bring the song together, you know, drums, lead guitar, backup guitar, bass, are all done by individuals from different walks of life in the music world who came in to do that album. So don't say it can't be done. It can be. It's already been done. But what we need is, we need another group of people, young people, to step up and actually have their voices heard. And so let's do some dynamic, kick ass, take names, mop the floor with the enemy music, make it inspirational, make it dynamic. It's gotta be dynamic, this is the big thing. I have no use for most of what I've seen Trump do with his, I don't know who's running his campaign. the village people pop out. I don't know if it seems like it's disappeared or at least so far they've made a better effort to make sure we don't hear it, which I think is really what's going on. I think that the village people, punk and junk stuff is still in the Trump repertoire. Instead of finding a handful of fantastic or like new up and coming musicians, and incorporating them. That's what he should be doing. You want to get people motivated, you may find people who are from the same block that you're interested in inspiring, but you take them and have them come up with their own ideas or at least something that is motivational music, bring it into play. That's what he should have been doing for the last year, and it wasn't happening. Now, I understand there's a few other voices we've heard. Part of it is, again, well, Look at that, everything seems to be in question now. But it could be done, it's too late, probably won't be done. But we still need it for our work, and all of you need it for yours, for what you're going to be participating in helping with. We're all be working together, we're gonna be mutually supporting each other, we have a mutual liberty interest. Anyway, ideas, not just complaining about the problems, I mean, overall, good day, guys. Yes, sir, we're all gonna die someday, but in the meantime, Let's take the enemy and pile him at our feet. We need dogs for the crossing. Remember that. Don't forget your coins and dogs for the crossing to show that to get over to the other side, I made sure a whole hell of a lot of these bastards went first. Pile them at your feet. That should be the goal. Now, also again, heads up. Our caller mentioned the, again, the discs. I had one copy slot isn't working on our disc copier. It's not a big deal. It doesn't stop us from making them. It just slows us down a little bit, just a hair. I will say that I'm, as I said earlier, I'm probably keeping the last Florida sleeve. I've been using a new set of jewel hardcovers. The half of you will be getting jewel hardcover lightweights. And part of these will be coming in sleeves. Also, yes, we do have the Battle for the Republic books and I'm looking at the other stuff that just came from the shop. We just opted the printer today. We have the anti-arbor manuals in for the, these have to be shipped out of state. These are going to the 61st RCT. Let's see. And those are done, and those are actually being boxed up right now, and along with the SOP manuals, there's 162 of those coming your way, it's all in one big block, and we will have those out tomorrow by probably mid-morning. So pay attention there. And when we do that, we'll be shooting out a bunch of the Florida CDs, and I have a whole pile of carousels I just dropped off with the copy. or a copy person who just runs a machine nonstop. And so we should have a whole big pile to fill in the blank on the rest of the requests, including our friends up in Wisconsin. So don't worry, we'll get to you. And again, we're trying to get as much done as we possibly can, so you've got them in hand. Now somebody asked again, and I just sit right here on the alternate side, hold on here. Yes, you can copy anything we send. Everybody, I want to repeat this thing. We're at the top. We're going to be leaving it here in a minute. Guys, copy any and everything we send. If we made it and sent it out, we expect you to reproduce it. We expect it to be copied, okay? We don't have a problem with that at all. The big thing is just in its entirety, that's all we ask. You recopy and make it a true copy. Make sure that everything is incorporated and included with the reproduction. One of the things about the SOP manuals, they're one quarter the size of an eight and a half by 11 sheet of paper for a reason. They're a pocket manual. You can carry them on your person. You can carry them in your backpack, have it with you all the time. With the SOP manual, you can be a squad leader and run a squad. For that matter, you could actually use it for platoon operations the same way. It's designed to be user friendly and simple kits. Keep it simple, stay away for now. Keep it together. Take off for now.
