future generations this legacy we get in this the land the freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep the tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep your freedom's gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave in this the land of the free and home of the brave you buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun permits to start a business or to build a place for one on land that you believe you own you pay a yearly rent Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and 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 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, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave learn from the mistakes of others? You won't live long enough to make them all yourself Good Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, northwest, and north. Gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. I wanna say hi to all our merchant operating operators out there. No matter what body of water you're on right now, and that'll change in the next few moments. You're always sliding over the waves. The water is never the same from moment to moment. And again, don't forget where the lifeboats are. Always be ready. Anyway, we're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is Wednesday, it's weapons Wednesday. It is the 22nd of May, it is the 16th year of open, obvious, and pissing in your face. Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. America with a K 2024 old earth calendar 2024 battle for the Republic. Good dance of swords book one, the adventure continues of course. Busy day hot day classics, springtime heading towards the rest of the season. My goodness day, perfect for getting stuff done almost finished with all the details on the garden. It's got lots of tactical painting done today because that heat really helps to cook that sucker. When you put him outside, lay him in this kind of sun. Oh yeah, this is finished. So by the time I get done with the two hours of the program, that stuff will be cured for the first coat. Gonna throw some other camouflage pattern colors on it and those little things are done. Well, actually fairly large items. The important thing is keep plugging away share time, get what you can done before things hit the oscillating device and be prepared for what it is the bad guys are going to throw at you. And it's weapons Wednesday, one of the things we're talking about obviously are arms. Today Bear Creek Arsenal has a couple of really good buys on standard 16 inch 556 uppers complete. If you like the side charging handle, I know a lot of people have them now, everybody likes them that has them. Either you do or you don't. It's either you're traditionally familiar with and muscle memory is built on the standard AR-15 rear charging handle, back base receiver component. Or the new idea is of course with the charging handle attached and operating off to the side. Name is the AK, same as a Graham, same as a carbine, same as the M14, etc, etc, etc. The rifles are pretty much the same as far as operations go, easy to figure out. Interestingly enough, for under $200, you can put a complete AR upper in the basket and if you need more than one and like I said try to build a rifle up for each one of your family members. One neat thing about those folding stocks is that A, you can scrunch them down for the kids and progressively as they get older all you do is open it up a little farther. It's kind of a cool thing with that collapsible AR-15 stock. Makes for a double plus good situation so Again, it's the gladiest of the day. AKs were cheaper, SKS's were cheaper still. We bought almost all of those up. The cheap ones, the same models as the ones everybody's paying top dollar for now. They're good weapons. If you've got an SKS, no way you should perform them telling you to get rid of it. I think it's an excellent firearm. It is a light rifle. It's in the same niche in, you know, categories. The AK, the AR, the M1 carbine, et cetera, et cetera. The light rifle category. Buy more mags if you have mag requirement for any of your weapons and keep doing so even if you only do a couple at a time just keep plugging away. I know some of the guns are more expensive now they used to be cheap they're not now. It varies even the AR you'll notice that most of those gimme prices that you saw a year ago on and off there were a few here and there enticements. kind of disappeared. What's the average price of an AR-15 magazine out there right now? Inflation hits everything, plus availability combined with aggressive market sales and demand, and the rest is history. So here we are. One of the things, again, with the ARs out there, if you go to AIMsurplus.com, they have bulk carrier groups, if you're looking for just bulk carriers, prices are pretty reasonable. AIMsurplus.com, of course, the same bad details we've talked about for quite some time, all-patriot. You have Bear Creek Arsenal, as I already mentioned. You have Palmetto State Armory. There are a number of AR-15 specialist sites out there. that do a lot of AR-15. So there's no way you can't shop around and cherry pick from all the different locations and make a rifle for it. Cost least, get most for it, get the best performance. Good enough for what it's for. If you're expecting this to be some kind of race car, nope, doesn't work that way. This is a Gladius standard arm, basic weapon, better typically than what the US military is issuing out or has in the arsenals. because you take care of your weapons, government doesn't. And that's a notorious situation we've seen forever. All I can say is I don't really care what happens to their weapons. Take care of yours, make sure you maintain and again spare parts, spare parts, spare parts, spare parts. Firing pin extractor, ejector, small pins, small screws. and all springs for your AR, anything that looks like it's a loseable item, you better have spares of. And some are so cheap, like with the pins, that there's no reason not to have 10 or 15 of them on the shelf in a small kit. Because there's more than one AR-15 rifle probably in your inventory as we've recommended. Well, wouldn't it make sense to have more than just one set of spare parts? Duh. So prior proper planning prevents BIS 4 performance there. Much of questions about Mini-14s, I don't know. Apparently somebody has had a deal on some what appear to be police trade-ins. But that's few and far between because usually the cop shop guns, even if they're bought from Ruger, have had a tendency in more recent years to be select fires. So if these were police trade-ins, they're standard Mini-14 carbines. They may be in the GB model or variant because there's several variants out there, both made by Ruger and also built by armorers at the police departments taking GB parts that were available out in the market and changing the weapon out. Now, they didn't convert those weapons to select fire. So you don't have to worry about that. But the big thing is, again, it has all the features of the militarized or fully militarized Mini-14, which includes a bayonet lug typically, which is cool. It takes an M16 bayonet. Usually they have an M16 size, standard flash hider. So it's not a big deal to be able to connect everything. And yes, pick up a bayonet for any rifle you have that can accept a bayonet. Always, if you have the ability to fit one, make a point of getting one. The big thing here again with the minis is again parts, but I will say this for all the troubles that Ruger created for Mini 14 owners over the years, the one cool thing is at least the parts department was always good for getting what you needed. Now I don't think they've, you know, because of budgetary constraints and the restrictions, I don't think they're as generous as they used to be. But originally when the Mini 14 came out, they would send you, when you had a part problem, they would send you three or four spares. They would just send you one. They didn't want you to be unhappy with the product. They wanted you to say wow, not only did they respond, but they responded really well. So they would have a tendency to send a lot of spare goodies to keep the rifle running, which is fantastic. I don't know what they're doing right now. But the Mini-14, all the parts are still available, pretty much every part of the system. Any of the weapons built by Ruger, they do a good job of backing up. That's another good thing about them. So no matter what model, and remember there, you've got, I want six generations now of Mini-14. Now, they're not major, as in complete redesign issues with regard to parts. But I will remind you that there are different parts, minor parts. where they made design corrections on the Mini-14. So it's a great weapon, but you have to know it. And in fact, these changes were very critical because of something I mentioned earlier, parts being so small that parts were either not noticed or lost. There was a correction made with the Mini-14 on a few pieces, so that they eradicated that issue. It was simply not possible to make a mistake. And that's the idea behind progressively listening to the customer, paying attention to your service issues, what's happening when you have to fix something for the customer, and eliminating that as a problem so you don't have it as an ongoing issue which also in shooter circles can make your weapon a pariah. And all it takes is a rumor and it's repeated enough that the echo chamber carries it on forever. And you can never get rid of that stigma. So they're usually pretty good about following up. Doesn't mean they can't have problems with guns. Sig has had a whole bunch of problems with their guns. Glock has had, Glock has had complete failures of their weapons. And if you wait long enough, nobody remembers. You got a good PR department. You keep shoving the product out there. Guess what? People buy it. No matter what. No matter how. how bad things got. And again, the big thing here with most all the weapons that you have is they've been proven out. There's nothing all that new out there. Even the latest wave of weapons are just a rehash of certain ideas which is cool and or variations on the theme purely for the sake of changing stuff up. Again, if you're buying new, buy when the product comes out. When the gun comes out, buy the mags that are available. Typically, they're cheaper at that moment, and they will continue to go up in price progressively after the original introduction of the weapon. Now it varies because the mini, for instance, the mini 14 mags were upper end, initially cheap, then they went upper end very high. Ruger wouldn't sell to us, they wouldn't sell their 30 round mags to the peasants. 20 rounders, yes, but grudgingly. And what happened is, eventually aftermarket ate into their system, they realized they probably should sell some. And when Ruger died, the original owner, All of a sudden, the company had an epiphany and started selling factory 30 round magazines to the customer, bringing the price back down a little bit for the factory max, even though they still want top dollar for them. After markets got so good at it that a lot of people prefer the after markets, simply because you can get five for the price of three regular Ruger bags. Does that mean that that's always your first choice? No, there's a lot of situations where Yeah, you want factory whenever you can. And some people like some of you listening, money doesn't really make any difference. You'll spend it because you figure that's part of the cost of doing business to prepare. Now, another thing, there was a question that somebody sent me about AK flash hiders. Originally, the AK came with the compensator, which is the cut front angled screw-on fixture that you see that helped to keep the muscle, basically a muscle compensator is what it was supposed to be. A certain amount of energy was diverted or should say because of lack of resistance in one direction and diverting what gas came out of the end of the tube after the bullet in the other. It was a reasonable solution that was very economical. There are a number of companies that build flash hiders as you all know now for the AK family and the AK-74 family. It's a flavor choice thing. Personally, I like the elongated baskets that mimic the Dragon off or the M14. And while they're a little longer, obviously adding a whole inch or two, wow, my god. One of the advantages there is again, helping to dissipate forward flash and directing it. Now some of these are both flash hidering compensators. You do the research, you'll see the difference. Compensators typically the lower venturis don't exist and so what happens is with the gas diverted to the upper part of what was the flash hider, now the compensator, it helps to reverse energy on the muzzle. and helped to stabilize the weapon to a certain degree. Weapons not that uncontrollable to begin with. One of the reasons I really liked that particular flash rider is because we were taking the dragon off, baking baby dragon offs from the RPKs years ago. And there were a couple of Tennessee companies, three to four different American companies that made that flash rider. If you have them, they're kind of hard to find now. So don't take them for granted. The big thing here again is the advantage of being able to still use, for instance, the bayonet. They made sure that they originally designed these so that they match the specs for the forward system, the way it was set up, as far as the, depending on the bayonet model, of course. But you can still fix the bayonet, all the other fun things you might wanna do with the weapon. Remember, these are detachable. That's the cool thing about the AK, it has that lock pin. at the end of the muzzle, or I should say with the forward area site, it's built into that. And what's really cool is you can wheel that off and wheel a grenade launcher, or you can put a suppression device on, whatever you're gonna do in the future. And it's a quick release thing, it's a quick release issue. It doesn't have a whole lot of fancy science going on, it's just engineering and it's simple engineering. As I've said before, priority is not to worry about a suppressor or a reducer in terms of the silencer technologies. It's not a silencer, it's a reducer. Compensators deflect gas, reducers compress the sound and trap it in either baffles internally or less sophisticated, direct more of the sound forward with a series of cuts internally. but not the muffler type system that you normally see with a silencer type system. The psionic suppressor was on the AR15, forgive me, the CAR15. Everybody sees it, thinks it's just another flash hider, or that it's a silencer, it was not, it was a reducer. Silencers on the CAR15 look totally different from a flash hider. And if you are familiar with the CAR-15, which by the way for the US military during Vietnam was considered a submachine gun, okay? It's listed, I can show you a dozen manuals during the war. The 556 CAR-15 submachine gun is how they listed it. Interestingly enough, the muffler that goes on that is upwards of around, when I think about 14 inches in length. and is much bulkier than anything that you would typically see. In fact, it is very distinct. The device that you see on the end of the car 15 was literally a sound reduction slash direction device, but it was not a silencer. So again, if you run into any of those with some vets or whatever, do cherish them, take care of them. I brought these back from Vietnam. Don't tell anybody about them either. What you just said that they weren't not doesn't make any difference that faggots are asshats and Right now they're actually starting to play it like I told you they did back in 77 Right now if you've seen some of the articles guns and gadgets in a few pieces here a piece here about two days ago on the ATF going after Flash hiders or compensators Now if you look at the design, you can see that what they're doing is selling certain parts. I don't care. It's not a complete device. So it basically is a compensator, or I should say a flash hider designed to deflect the unspent gases from the end of the weapon. But it's inevitable that the bat faggots, as you can see, are now pulling all of their arbitrary and capricious activity purely for the sake of tying up, terrorizing, and threatening gun owners. Somebody's gonna shoot their ass soon enough on something like this. Good. I hope they do it more If something develops or escalates be ready to join in and we don't have to wait for you know years down the road with not gonna be years down the road anyway, but We're not gonna have to wait too long. Let's put it that way now it is weapons Wednesday and before we Now we'll wait because we have the bottom of the hour break and we want to do that first But we are gonna play a guns and gadgets after the bottom of the hour break, which you still got about five minutes. Another thing here real quick, again, something we were talking about yesterday, the yesterday was Tuesday, but we also, outside of conversation, we remember back Wednesday, a whole week ago, last week, about building certain systems or building certain support systems up. Guys, we have the Florida disk. This is just a sidebar. Everybody's been asking how much would it cost? Well, here's what we did. It's just a $10 donation. There's gonna be a few dollars that goes to Liberty Tree Radio. Shipping is actually the most expensive item, but we're doing this on disk. It's on CD, and it is the Florida disk. This is a solution disk. We need everybody that can to share this, get them and share them. I expect you to make copies of this. But it will help to deal with a particular issue that now is becoming very obvious. And that has to do with powder, nitrocellulose, and many other items that are very, very critical towards our national defense. And since everybody has intentionally depleted the inventories so they can try to catch everybody flat-footed like all the rest of the red terror activities, we are way, way, way, way ahead of the curve. But we need the information and we need the ideas out there, the solutions applied in a thousand, thousand different locations. And that means everybody needs to first of all do a little research, pitch in. And do your part, creative engineering is not difficult. Remember, smokeless powder was created before the age of electricity. You do understand that, right? Smokeless powder comes from the age of chemistry, not from the age of electricity. Electricity enhanced production capability, and by the way, you're in an electronic age. But the most important thing to understand, is building smokeless powder or black powder predates electricity or the electrical age we'll put it that way electricity been around for a while as you know anyway okay what we're gonna do we're at the bottom of the hour Oh, the right bow, oh the right bow, in our hands will prove no right bow. You may ride a good late ski, you may know it's turn to master Your forward march would be, but you'll learn to back as much faster When you meet our mountain boys And the leader just starts Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, we'll prove you know it's rifle No graves at home, back across the dry water. That giddy must come, as well as to the slaughter. But it's way the job must do, and sooner it is begun. If Lyndon's figure hold the buck through, the quickers will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no We are back and it is a beautiful weapons Wednesday. It is sunny outside, classic Michigan spring day. The corn is leaping up out of the fields right now. It is phenomenal. So guys, again, the season continues. Time isn't gonna wait for any of us. We had an individual called in yesterday and or called in late. of the day, forgive me, that had issues with what apparently was a flash burn from environmental conditions. And something that we were talking about, we need to emphasize, if you're so far away, we can't step out of the door, drive down the road and do something for you. What we do need to remember is to slow down, step back, think for a minute, and again, go through the inventory of solutions. Now the individual responded correctly, immediately got in the shower. This was either a very high end, first degree sunburn type thing or well, they'd be up to including second degree. I don't know about exposed areas, but the idea is that again, a high uncomfortable surface burn of this type aloe vera tea tree oil, And also, there are many other commercial treatments out there you can buy off the shelf. They're basically like Afterburn is one of them that is designed for the very purpose we're talking about dealing with large surface areas and its topical application. Basically, it's aloe and tea tree, and most of them that I've seen. The big thing here again, and I do want to emphasize, is do not use oils. Let me bring that up, especially with high surface or external burns like that, extreme sunburns of any kind. With a burn, if you add oil, it's like you're cooking bacon, okay? You are adding something that will help to, it will help us assist in retaining the heat, it will not pull the heat. This is one of the first things you have to remember about a burn. You want to extract the calories from the burn areas. And again, it's the high priority. Let me give you an example, just as a compression years ago, artillery case on blew up. A bunch of people were killed right away. A bunch of people are standing right there when it happened. But I'll never forget, I was walking back, and this is after things had stabilized, and there were a lot of casualties everywhere. But one was an officer, And he had a flash burn. Now, if you looked at him from the front, he looked perfectly normal. His clothes looked absolutely just like they should. But where he was facing away from the blast, it had flash burned everything like the buttocks of his pants, his belt was still there, the cloth where his belt was was still there. But his shirt had been literally in an instant away from his body. And so it was a demarcation line literally around like the shoulders behind the back of the collar was gone. And his skin was white, it was char white, that is a third degree burn, okay? And I'll never forget this because there was a kitchen, a field kitchen right there, a concession. And they had a complete field kitchen there. And this woman was standing there looking at this guy and she had a traditional industrial two pound brick of butter. And she was just about to put that on that man's back. Now butter is a traditional homeopath solution for minor or area small burns. But in her mind, she was gonna use that Big old slab of butter and put it on that cooking pan and it would have been a bad situation and here's why because that contaminant would then and later have to be pulled from the Wound area and that means and this is something that you better understand about burns is you're gonna end up have you would have to the doctors Would have had to have scrubbed that area. Usually what they will do is litter is is is bathed it off and But if they can't bathe it off, they have to scrub it off. And there's no way you can get around it. It's bad if that happens. Okay, so remember the aloe, the solution with regard to the aloe in its gel form. is liquid. It's not a fat. You're not adding a fat slash a fatty-based material to the or inorganic fatty-based material to the wound area. And the wound area can be very, very, very large. So again, aloe tea tree oil is affecting all of the burn care gel packs you have, the ones we just picked up. I've told you many times to buy. Tea tree oil is the primary solution, the gel that is used for pulling heat from the wound area. So again, it will not, it will sloth off, it will irradiate, slash vaporize away if needed, if there's still so much residual heat. Eventually, it would not be retained as contaminant, organic, as in again, tallow fat or grease of any kind. So just something to remember, first and foremost is water. Because water, and two ways you need to deal with this, all burns, I don't care, even with a bad, bad sunburn. Get the person to drink if you can Gatorade or a Gatorade type product You can throw some little bit of salt in some water to get the individual to drink fluids and Again, once they finish with one big gulp, you know canteen or whatever one big gulp cup of whatever it is Give them another one in addition that needless to say get them into this get them into the shower beware because you get that shock issue as you know with going from one extreme temperature to the other, got to be paying attention. But I cannot emphasize enough, again, the basic treatments that are out there are readily available off the shelf. And aloe, of course, as we were talking about, is grown all over the country. You can buy it in most grocery stores. Aloe plants, if you go to Homeopath, you go to Flores. Aloe is all over the place, and it is a phenomenally useful plant to have in the house or growing around the property. If your environment can allow it to grow around the property, it is especially the best way to have it in place and cultivate it, develop it so that you have a patch. Because it is a medicinal that can be used for so many issues and it's minimal cost maximum end results. So just a heads up there and again, The most important thing here is keep your head, stay calm, stay focused. I know that's not easy sometimes when you're busy hurting. In fact, it's difficult for a lot of people and understandably so. But in this case, again, I think everybody gave a few solutions quickly enough so that the individual should be able to do whatever home treatment if there's going to be follow up with other medical. We'd like to know about it just in case somebody has an idea about what happened and we don't. Go ahead call or jump in there. Who do we have Tom? What about vinegar and apple cider vinegar? But on burns would you recommend that? Well again, it's an acid and that's kind of you know, a lot of people is kind of like doing the old iodine or Come on, what's the other one God alcohol, of course I Can't see that vinegar will especially for a wide area burn might be a follow-up treatment I've not used vinegar before although it is one of the solutions when doing a long soak or treatment in a post burn situation. It's not one of the things that my grandfather had done years ago. Great, my grandfather on my mom's side and he was a, well he was a homey pet because they had to be, again, Wild West era. The only doctor you had was you, so they had to take care of their own needs. But at the very least again, the stuff is that what we're discussing is off the shelf and I recommend going that direction. I will point out again, not telling you to do this, but I do know that my grandfather again, using a small amount of vinegar, a small amount of honey and tea, regular tea and creating an immersion bath for like a foot burn. where oil or grease, first evacuating the heat to the best of your ability using, again, get it into water. And then using basically a tea, honey, and vinegar solution to soak the limb, if it's possible, hand or foot. And we're using a compress, again, soaked in the material and laid on it. Now, honey sounds weird, but honey is A significant medicinal that you should have on the shelf. You need to do a little research to take too much time to cover all of the advantages right here where we are. But amazingly enough, for a lot of injuries, actually white sugar is another one. Sounds weird, but proven time immemorial and the techniques have been perfected. So, just something to take into consideration. There's more than one way to deal with a multiple number of problems. And why should we know this? Why should we have the database in place? Well, you know what? Medical supplies are going to run out. I can't emphasize that enough. For all of our preparation, we're going to be packing up hundreds of medium-sized medical, hard medical kits. very soon. We got a date coming up for just that purpose, okay? And it'll be a meeting for other reasons. But one of the things everybody's gonna be pitching in and doing is packing medical kits. We're gonna be doing a couple hundred, if not maybe three to 400 IFAX. We'll probably do about a hundred of the middle or docked packs. In addition to that, we're gonna do as many as we can of the burn kits. burn casualty kits and it's high priority. Guys, we will go through that in a very short period of time, unless we first of all husband the resource we have and minimize the use of materials, which is especially critical. But no matter what, we are eventually going to run out of most medicinals. Don't worry, the other side is not going to be in any better shape. Government will be in the same boat, everybody will be in the same boat, won't take long at all. So again, we need to know about the homeopathic solutions that would be the next tier or would be parallel because if we can use the homeopathic solutions for certain issues, we can stretch the reserve supplies that we have for critical casualties. Remember, we have to prioritize. That's one of the most common issues. You're going to have to husband the resources that you have. So just wanted to bring that up. And again, the big things you have to study, because it's not just throw it on the wound. There are certain things, especially when we're talking gunshots or abrasions that are significant, say high trauma situations. We have to prepare the wound and the casualty before we can continue treatment. That includes a number of different steps, depending upon the injury. Call or go ahead, jump in there. Yes, we got you. You know, the thing about Aloe Vera, that is one of the things that my grandmother and all of our people in the old country used in two different wars over there. You know, the Aloe, you know, they're from the Black Forest. They were raised like this as children. And so aloe vera was very, very important. Now, with cold winters over there, didn't do real well. You know, it would freeze, freeze down over winter outside. But it's so easy to grow it in containers also. In fact, one, let's say, eight-inch tall aloe vera stalk with roots on there can be put in appropriate soil in about six months in appropriate conditions. The container is full of pups. All circling around the mother plant right there. So at that point, it's root bound. So what you do is you lay that over. You don't want to do it with the soil too moist or too dry. You know, lay it over on something on the ground. Squeeze the container if it's pliable. Pull the container out and then carefully separate. I mean, I've pulled out over 40, 50 little pups out of one container. You replant all of those. And the thing is, is that is the best way to consume aloe vera. These aloe vera's that one can purchase, you know, in the stores, the commercial, most of those are green. Aloe vera is clear. the actual gel inside the green leaf of the natural plant. So those are food dyes, those are neurotoxins. That's especially bad for someone using the aloe vera for healing. Especially ones that have certain physical situations that are super non depleted from chemicals and all of the elements like for instance 67 heavy metals coming down from the chemtrail spray which can be proven by proper hair follicle testing. So on every square inch of this earth and it's in nanotechnology form, you know, that is not natural to nature. But yeah, the green aloe vera in the store is the last thing that you want to use, you know, aloe vera wise. Another thing that kept my family alive, according to my grandmother, is what she called and referred to as Russian penicillin. And what this is, is the purest, closest collected honey in an area of operation. You get this raw honey and you chop up garlic. Yeah, like one clove say that's an inch long, you peel it, cut it into four pieces, you fill a glass jar about a quarter full, and then you'll go ahead and add the rest honey. And within 15 minutes it begins to ferment. It'll begin to bubble. So have it in the glass jar with a lid and you have to go and burp it five or six times in the 24 hour period. I just in particular take the lid off and I get a spoon because in the beginning all of the pieces of chopped up garlic where the honey has more access to extract all of the good juju out of the garlic. You know garlic gives us one of our highest sources of available vitamin C. But this Russian pinto, siddle and blue, I would say that she's complete in about three weeks. Now through the entire process of burping it many times a day, I use a spoon, I push it down, I've had some people go, yeah man, I just turned the jar upside down. That's the wrong thing to do because the honey gets everywhere, all over the lid, all over the sides. So when you burp it, take the lid off, get your little teaspoon, push that down, push that garlic all down and you're agitating everything, and then of course you lick off. the honey. Now what you can do is, is once you bruise and it's completely fermented, which it's one of the most powerful probiotics that we can put into our small intestine, large intestine and colon. Okay? That's probably, I believe, it's accurate about 70% of the human immune system. There once again Russian penicillin if you let it go past three weeks say the four five six seven weeks the pieces of garlic Begin to kind of crystallize It's just unbelievable over. Yeah again. This is all We're talking simplest solution least you know least number of materials required For maximum end result and again the advantage is like you said, probiotic slash internal intestinal support just to maintain a good gut. But in addition to that, it puts all of the nutrients where they need to be in the system in concentrated form and will assist in eradicating many of the different infections and issues that would normally be a problem. I don't know about peritonitis. But again, it's interesting some of the things that have happened over the years with some of our people's homeopaths dealing with what they thought was a problem with either the again the garlic honey combination or with ionic silver and in both cases and recently I bring this up in both cases individuals had a burst appendix and And amazingly enough, the appendix, they thought they had some of their indigestion or a gut issue. They treated it accordingly, about anywhere with one person, it was six months. And finally, he had to go back into the doctor because he didn't feel quite right. Turns out that, the appendix had not only burst, but it had progressively been consumed and worn away without infection. Which is unheard of you guys you have a burst appendix peritonitis is your your roommate. It's coming It's not an if it's just a win and it's interesting that in both cases in the one With ionic silver now that individual was almost a year And we know the person quite well the other again was a homeopathic doctor She, of course, thought she had by identifying the problem, just a lower gut issue that needed to be supported with reinforcement. And it turned out, nope, that wasn't the case. The appendix had burst, she treated it with the garlic honey combination in cured form, like you're talking about. I would assume the same process you used. And six months later, she started to feel bad again a certain day, of course, she'd been doctoring it. And they went in and said, he went to the doctor, doctor took an x-ray and said, your appendix is gone. And it's just there. I mean, it just, what happens is it broke down, it did everything to prevent infection. But the problem is that the damaged area where the appendix had rotted away, allowed for leakage into the abdominal cavity. That's the reason she was having problems. So again, normally a situation that would have been lethal in reality was discomforting but fully survivable. So just a heads up there. And again, personal experience. This is not somebody said, somebody heard. These are people I know personally. And the one's dead. Oh, see Mark, I got him. No, guys, he lived to be a ripe, ripe old age. If time got him, not any problem with regard to homeopathic treatment, then he did not do doctors and had shunned them completely for the later third of his life and lived very comfortably. And you know what? He'd be telling me I told you so cuz I guarantee in no way, shape or form would he have taken any of the murder death kill shots. And then he'd be rubbing it in now with all the people who did. That's just the way George was. It's like, yeah, by the way, you took that shot, didn't you? Uh-huh. So, we're, well, we're headed towards the top here is Weapons Wednesday. Over at sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com, needless to say, if we see something interesting. They have a number of tactical clothing items and gear items that are down at the basement level right now. We're headed towards the end of the month. They have a monthly and quarterly cycling out of materials based upon whatever their schedule is for acquiring them. And right now for a few dollars for this, or in other words, two or three dollars for a pair of knee pads or elbow pads, in one case a set of four, in other words, two tops, two bottoms, so to speak, two elbow, two knee. for about $3. They're a Coyote Brown, there's some in ACU, and there are some in, it looks like, OD Green. In addition to that, there are some pouches that are in there right now that would be useful, and also a tactical vest in CCE. That's the French Woodland. And if you use whatever discount, double discount, you can. You knock the price down to about $15 a vest, which means if you're looking for a 510 issue is perfect. My recommendation, that particular vest that's available in the clearance section makes an excellent dock kit. That's the vest that we're loading up as a medical kit. So just a heads up, there's a bunch of items, go over and check out the clearance and closeout section over at Sportsman's Guide. And again, don't forget they do have the limb burn wraps for I think right now they're about $13 and some odd cents for 10. It is the cheapest price for anything like this in the country. At least every time you order, if you're gonna order something from Sportsman's Guide, pick up one or two if you can, at least one. of those limb bundles. They're actually about the size of a big, big family size baby Ruth bar. It is, of course, enough wrap for about one meter. It's about, I believe, three-quarters of an inch wide for the tape itself, and it is a wound dressing. And it is, of course, in gel. My recommendation is once you pull that out, you wrap it, you apply the gel to the wrapping and externally, and then you're still gonna gauze wrap that burn of the limb. And so all of the gel that was available for pulling the heat and for cooling is applied to the wound, or at least applied to support the breaking down and reducing the calorie buildup in the limb. Now, you can also cut these strips down and use them on direct burn areas. And this is one of the odd man out things that simply isn't out there for any good price. So this is the best deal you can get that really is out there. And I've dealt with all the other medical supply houses. I have a handful of burn application patches. And for what we're paying for 10 of these limb kits, okay? Guys, you get two. I've got two burn application patches that are what, five by six inches? That's it. The burn support or burn wound support dressings are expensive, very expensive. So this is really a good price. Go check out Sportsman's Guide. You'll see what I'm talking about. They do have a number of other medical items, but that is one of the best buys. There's also a bunch of check. I know they came from Sturm and they are available and on the shelf. I don't know how many are left and they may have sold out because I know a lot of guys were picking them up when we were visiting another location here this weekend. So there should still be some, at least a few. I know that Sturm only has about 72 left, maybe 71 right now. And these are an extensive surgical fold out system with everything sealed and prepped ready for use. So check that out, see if it makes sense for you. If you've got somebody who's a doc and you're looking for additional equipment to create a little more depth in your supply, this would be a good solution. So again, check that out, see if again, it makes sense for you with your budget too. I understand how that works. Anyway, last but not least, again, let's remind everybody the Florida disks. We also have the manual bundles, which we've already got the first batch out. Florida, a $10 donation. You go over to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key. Donate $10 and in the notation section put Florida and then in addition to that a mailing address so I could ship this stuff to you. Now you're going to get more than just that disk. There's other stuff that we have in the mix. And if you can take the time to share whatever is sent and we always try to pad the pocket, make sure that there's a little more useful, there are more useful tools in there. Things that are from the memory bank. that we can't afford to see disappear, okay? And especially critical when it comes to technical data, because we are on the edge of whatever it is they're gonna try to pull. We're going to war in 24, we're gonna make sure we do it clear eyed with a goal. We already have a mission plan, and we will accomplish that mission step by step, everybody pitching in when the time comes. But you all have to do your part to have your supply and support system in place so that as a whole we will fight more efficiently, we will conserve strength, preserve manpower. And to do that, we need, again, we do need medical support in depth. But we also need all of the other tools of the trade coverage. So whatever you can do, and whatever you choose as your speciality, it's going to work just fine. Go ahead, call or jump in there. Headstars, just to let you know, I'm putting together a digital format to go on a DVD disc for all sorts of preps and things to do with pioneering and woodworking and basically everything that you'd want to know that you don't know. Getting all digital files, now they are digital. It's not going to help us if we have zero power and zero computing power and all, but... at least until now and then you can learn and maybe later on your converter on your car will power your battery charger so that you can run your laptop and learn some more stuff later on. But I just want to let you know that's in the upcoming things over. Excellent. And again, we are going to be working on a series of other Medkit solutions now. recommendation, go to shopmedvet.com and also dig up an iFAC pouch that you can afford, multiples, and I recommend if you can try for each of the groups out there to build at least 10 additional iFACs. They can be reissued out or issued out to new members as they come in. This is the one thing that we have a shortage issue in for a lot of people, but they usually play catch up as they start to find out a little bit more. But we want to fast track and get you on that before, you know, give, hesitate. And again, you can do your part, everybody pitching and do theirs will accomplish the mission. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We are on the march, both day and night. Guys, we're going to take a break. Go! I think I'm gonna get some tonic water. Yeah, there we go. Tonic water. That's a good, sounds good, especially with a warm day. Somebody's gonna ask a question about freedom for losing when we come back, Mark. Over. Very good. Uh, yeah, that's gonna be a unique situation. I'll let everybody know when we do come back. It is Wednesday on Liberty Tree Radio. He took off his three cornered hat and 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 land and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land is a free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold you trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've taken traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize them farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right. And pray to God, get the torch of freedom, Bernie. bright as i awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came his words were true we are not free but we have ourselves to blame for even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight if he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave Remember your training and you will come back alive. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we're on satellite. We want to see all our merchant operators out there no matter what body of water you are on. We appreciate the fact that you're rebroadcasting as you are and listening in. Thank you. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States and it is Well, it's weapons Wednesday. It's been Wednesday all day. It's been a perfect day today. Hot. It is sunny. The corn is jumping in the fields right now as we speak. Crappin'. Head, the 22nd of May, 16th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. 2024 older calendar. 2024 battle for the Republic. The Dance of Swords. And it is, again, semi-clear out there. We've had some wind. A little bit of significant wind here on and off in the morning and, of course, through the day in pulses. So no significant storming or anything like that in our area. But a really good breeze keeps the bugs off, as a matter of fact. And this is the Bugaboo window. Especially where we got all the moisture that we've had combined all this sun and a breeding program for everything to bite Anyway, there was a question about freedom Palusa as far as I know Tom top or oh god Paul Topeti I'm thinking somebody else Tom Basically has decided to do a scaled down freedom Palusa kind of for the Friends in the Patriot Movement, I will know more about whether or not that's gonna be expanded upon here maybe tonight or tomorrow. Gonna give him a call. But what I understand, it's a close friends meeting this year. That's where they're going with it. And that will be, of course, right in their backyard. So one of the band members had a house fire. That did not affect having freedom, by the way. But I just wanted to check to make sure if there's anything that they need. It sounds like everything was replaced already. Didn't know about it until after the fact. Of course, you don't know about the house is burning down. But fact is that, again, when we have friends, guys, even if they're far away, time and distance, we still can pitch in. So see if there's anything we can do there. But I do believe that they said that they are taken care of. Normally, Freedom Palooza, of course, would be a three-day event, but the facility is changed, and the original one is not available. Of course, the first one is not available because the property was sold. The individual ended up becoming ill, and of course, that happens with everybody. Time catches up with all of us. The second location, of course, has been used for quite some time. It's quite a decent facility, as a matter of fact. I had to get everybody to get over there because the It's in the deep dark woods, but it's not. So apparently that facility we're not going to be using for the time being. So there was a change with the schedules and everybody's situation. Freedom Police will be a smaller event coming up here shortly. It's not that far away. We'll find out more. Also, again, a reminder that With regard to music and I cannot emphasize this enough guys any of you listening if you've got anybody who can do Patriot music Be bold don't hesitate. Well, I don't think we're that good. Well, you get better through practice practice practice practice and you get a try try and Amazingly enough you be It's fascinating how successful you can be, but we need Patriot musicians. We need that minstrel in the gallery. We need the music and new music. You can, of course, do covers or you can do parodies or should say rewrites, not so much parodies, but rewrites of some of the music to bring it to date, which you should do. There's a song most of you probably won't recognize because the public fool system has gotten rid of all history That's what the kosher mafia the Jewish mafia does along with the Communists is of course first you have to destroy the history of the nation attack it whatever but there's a song that goes back all the way Just about to the American war for independence is called waiting for the wagon waiting for the wagon waiting for the wagon waiting for the wagon then we'll all take a ride. Now, that's the chorus, of course, but they would change it. So again, rewriting is not new. Waiting for the wagon, the Thomas Jefferson wagon. Waiting for the wagon and we'll all take a ride. But don't worry, many different sides used music. So later on it's Waiting for the Wagon, the Andrew Jackson Wagon. Waiting for the wagon and we'll all take a ride. Let's ride with General Jackson. See how that works? And the song was active all the way up to World War I. It was resurrected at different times. It was out of vogue, but history of course, the history cycle as we know how that works. especially with music. It was resurrected many times as a traditional barn raiser, so to speak, to get everybody excited, pump everybody up. It is a bouncy song. It's an energetic song. It's something that, you know, it's not a tears in your beers kind of thing. Now, there's places for ballads and all kinds of comparable stuff. But, again, what we need right now, we need fighting music, people. We need the stuff that we're going to take to war with us. And you guys are the ones who are going to have to make that happen. And it is part of the weapons inventory. So this is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon, obviously. Your mind won't do any good if you decide to do the, oh, I'm going to be like Gandhi if I hear that from anybody. I will B-slap you right side to head. Gandhi told everybody that the only reason they had to go the way they did is because India had already been totally disarmed and with viciously Anybody ever anybody who had weapons was viciously attacked by the Empire. Okay, let's not forget that We're not gonna let that happen. You don't let yourself be disarmed and we're gonna get rid of the rest of these bum screw operational pieces of legislation that they've tried to put in place and that they're putting in place. It's illegitimate across the board and nobody wants to properly argue why, no, you don't do it. Because the panty waste that we have that our politicians won't step up to the plate, which is another reason that inevitably we end up going into conflict. So we are headed to war in 24. And part of what we need is a music inventory and guys, be creative. There are some really interesting solutions to rewriting or reapplying different music. Ed found quite a few of these out there. There's a couple of different bands, kind of like a variation on Two Steps From Hell, but in this case they'd take rock music. and reapply it. They take the words, the music is even the proper tune, but it's done with a different tempo, a different meter. It is done with a very different feel. And this is something that is, you should take into consideration. One of the things that we're gonna see, and we already have seen it for a while there, they're terrified because the Patriot Movement And many people were picking up a lot of the quote unquote dynamic music. Like just mentioned one of the bands, Two Steps from Hell and applying it to videos. You're not supposed to do that that are Patriot videos. You can't do that. And so they started worrying, they started applying the copyright laws, which by the way, with most of the stuff that these bands were doing, they were open play. In other words, they wanted people to use them. Now, of course, when you get really popular, then you get picked up by somebody. Well, then maybe they don't want you to do it. Traditionally, you've done pretty much the whole life of the band or the orchestra or whatever it is you got going, whatever you want to call it. And so therein lies the rub. But what we need is free and independent mechanisms, music out there. There's all kinds of different ways you can do it. I personally believe that the chorus chant method, you know, as in acapella with men's voices is something that we absolutely need a lot more of. And that means all you guys getting together and finding your voices, they don't have to be perfect. In fact, there is no such thing in life, but it is interesting how we can come up with what is a very robust, very dynamic sound And it's all done by the men who are actually participating in the fight. That- The first thing that comes to mind Mark is the end of Full Metal Jacket where the troops are marching back to their AO and they're singing the Mickey Mouse song. But the Benchett men with guns singing the Mickey Mouse song. Hey there, hi there, ho there, here's that. You know, welcome as can be. M-I-C-K-E-Y. Actually, I'm going to tell you that it wasn't usually Mickey Mouse. There's another phrase that could go in there and kind of fits. Okay, let me do it this way. Okay, let's see. Foxtrot, Union, Charlie, Kilo. Just spelled that. No, God, kids can spell. Forgive me. A-G-A-I-N, hockey puck again. Hockey pucked again Forever will we hold our banners high Come along and sing this song with all the infantry Oh, let's see, P-H-U-C-K C-K-A-G-A-I-N I can do it so I can be polite, you see what I mean? Yeah, that's what it means, P-H-U-C-K Hey, Martha Go ahead, gojoba there. Shelby from OKC. I was going to give an update to the FEMA here in Oklahoma City. Yes, thank you. So Friday, Saturday, they were still there. I checked, I think, two different times on Thursday. And then on Friday, I checked like about 4 p.m. and they were still set up at the hotel with the satellite dish up and the generator still hooked up. Around 4 p.m. They didn't really move at all none of the vehicles I saw one time I think I saw one of the work trucks is gone I'm assuming the running area and or go to the store or something maybe but other than that I never saw You know even in the middle of the day move and do anything so Not sure what they were doing, you know, but they're gone. I checked Monday Morning around 9 o'clock 10 o'clock and they were already gone so I'm assuming they're probably here Saturday and probably left on Sunday. Interesting, especially since they started out being observed during the week. Not very many, well, it's a business day. So that is when they would be employed if they were in a training cycle. But it's like you said, they were there on station for an extended period of time and didn't seem to make much sense because they're way far away from any critical situation that's developed in the Plain states with the tornado cycle that we've had On that note any anything else affect you guys with this last wave of storms over the last three four days This this past weekend. We had some tornadoes here in the metro kind of brief touchdown Out to the let's see north or west southwest of Oklahoma City It was on the ground from like a f1 f2 maybe for a brief period and then it just kind of They were circulation and kind of did some straight line, 100 mile an hour wind damage on some other places on the south side of the of OKC. So other than that, that was about it. What we had on Saturday night this past weekend. Very good. So in reality, they might have been forced rather than to continue to suck beer and spend tax dollars in a fixed location was useless. They might have actually been forced to go out and do something. It's possible. I mean, finally, when you think about it, I think the interesting thing is we've had a lot of here in Michigan, we have about five or six locations, totally disassociated again, not having to do with the storms. We have had a couple of different fronts that came through. They did not affect this area, but the west side of the state, which usually gets no publicity. We still have the color from Oklahoma on the line. Yeah, yeah, I'm still here Shelby, okay Did the tornado hit hit what part of Oklahoma City did it hit? It was out like Union Union City, which was out towards Mustang. So it's all out towards the I like 20 minutes from Oklahoma. Okay, so it's not like downtown. Well, I'm asking because, you know, we did our traveling this past week and we went down to Houston. Of course, we get down there. Houston got hit by a tornado or two, but downtown Houston got hit by a tornado, literally downtown. Yeah. It's just curious timing that, you know, on the weekend that they, Oklahoma City and Houston got hit at the same time it was seen or you know roughly right same weekend Right. Well, yeah, it was like I said, it was out by Union City and Mustang More close to Union City, which is not all project 10 minutes from Mustang to the south west of Mustang roughly so Like that circulation it was gonna come into the about the middle of the metro But the storm recirculated and put the circulation at the far move further south along the storm and the circulation built up. So that put the circulation more to the far south side of Oklahoma City instead of going through more of the middle of Oklahoma City. Maybe not necessarily downtown, but just slightly north. If it would have kept going the way it was, it would have been maybe a mile or two north of downtown. But the place of the storm. was doing crazy things and so it recirculated and caused the circulation to dissipate in the middle and then put it down towards the far south end of the storm which put it to the south side of Oklahoma City. Like I said, I don't think it really touched down on the south side of Metro or if it was, it was kind of like a hop skip jump type tornado where it was barely maybe coming down just briefly just for a second or two. or low enough that it just caused the clean damage and not the full damage of a tornado would do. Very good. And again, keep us abreast if you see any other deployments. Everybody else, again, we've mentioned. Sorry about that. Of course, well, give me a moment here. Make sure we didn't lose everybody. Okay, we're still good. And one of the things that, like I said, where we're seeing the deployments don't make sense. I will say this though, again during Katrina, remember FEMA mobilized about 2000 firefighters. Does everybody remember this? And well, we need all you volunteers, we need volunteers to come down to New Orleans. Does everybody remember what the 2000 volunteer firemen initially did that were sent down? I'll give you a hint, they didn't fight fires. The guys went to the rally point outside of New Orleans, actually north of New Orleans, and they took the 2,000 firefighters, shifted them over to Atlanta, Georgia, and although they had their bunker suits, they came with all their prep gear, they were ready to fight fires and help rescue people. And they said they were more valuable getting on the phone and taking calls for Red Cross to collect money. Then that's why they needed them. They needed them to collect money or the parasites. So, yeah, again, when we see situations, you know, you're assuming they must be there to help. Yeah, they're helping, helping themselves, whatever they can from whoever is generous enough to open up their wallet. That's what they were doing a lot of guys after a day Packed up their equipment left and never came back and Oklahoma had similar situation. Go ahead jump in there, please I brought it up when it happened. It was I believe I've had about 11 years ago just this past week when we had the big tornado that happened on and more just out of Oklahoma City the one I've talked about about the strange sounding thunder that killed six kids in the elementary school. Anyways, we went down with a local group and we went down there to help. We were able to get in there and then basically we sat in the parking lot for about six hours doing nothing. We told them we were here, we had this experience, several people had this experience or whatever. And we sat around for six to eight hours in a parking lot. doing nothing. I mean, yeah, they had other people doing stuff, but you had all these resources just sitting in a parking lot doing nothing that you could easily, when we finally left, I think it was like midnight, one o'clock when we left the area, but there was all the surrounding areas or even coming in, had, you know, the power was out, so all the traffic lights around the area were off. So you had traffic backed up, so they were doing the normal stop sign stuff. They could easily deploy some people that have some common sense, you know, three, four people per intersection to help at least kind of move traffic along a little bit faster or something, you know, not necessarily enforce a traffic law, but just enough to get the traffic flowing a little bit faster in those areas. Even in the middle of the night, they never even still didn't have people set up. I think they had a few places that had the stop sign set up, you know, in the middle just to treat it the four way. Right, but yeah, they talked to him even went up several times, you know gave them an hour two hours went back and checked in and said nope We don't we saw you on the list if anything comes up you're next and kept checking check at check checking nothing There was even some volunteer firefighters that came from Two hours away up towards the pant from the panhandle of Oklahoma came down and stuff and you know offer their assistance and I think there's even I don't remember Mark, there was just a whole bunch of people that were sitting around doing nothing and not helping search and rescue or doing whatever, even menial tasks, whatever, picking up stuff. They could have done, well again, if you had good management but you had to remember, FEMA considers the population the enemy. And other than the little clique, just like you see with the NGOs operating the cartels and invading the United States, They have their little click with an agenda. They don't want to spend the money on, so to speak. In fact, they're not even spending your money, you're volunteering. But it puts a crimp in the scam that they've set up and have established, and they can't afford that. They don't want that to mess with the numbers. And they go through the motions. Now they're even less worried about going through the motions, quote unquote. But they used to at least go through the motion to create the illusion they were trying to do something. Now they sit on their hands, accomplish nothing, give themselves a pat on the back and a squeeze on the ass, and in the process then turn right around and fail. But- I think there are other motivations for that, Mark. Is the optics? It can't be seen that the people can help themselves. It has to be the Uber government agencies. Those are the only ones who can provide any assistance over. It's the nanny state routine on steroids in a situation where, no, they really aren't necessary for the most part. It's good for them to be an assist. But they want everybody to be a plebe slash slave slash property of the state, mindset, kind of creature. And there are a lot of people out there like that. Remember, every time there's been a disaster, everybody can be picking something up. Japan had this problem with the earthquakes here several years ago, where people literally were traditionally they would have stepped up and taken care of themselves, but because they've been so Sovietized, They sit on their front porches and were dying of dehydration, waiting for government to do something. Well, that's the epitome of what we have to avoid like a plague, but there's a lot of people that like that and are like that. Not going to change them. Don't plan on it. Not going to make, not going to waste any air, nor am I going to waste a whole lot of time trying to make conversion, converts or to convert somebody who's got their head so far up their fundamental orifice. Mark, those type of people aren't going to last six weeks when the shit hits the fan. I give them six weeks at the outside. Over. The biggest problem, and this is something you all need to be prepared for, is the idea that they're going to feel, what would be the It's step by step psychological process for somebody like that. Well, number one is, first of all, you're crazy and stupid for having done something to prepare. You're the enemy, you're evil, you're bad, whatever. But just like you said, as the day rolls by, it's, well, you're stupid and you're inferior, but you are prepared and you have stuff. And share some with me. They're smarter than you. They're smarter than you, although they sat on their ass and did nothing and now they're starving. Step one is they're smarter than you and they deserve what you have. Then they get to the point where the same logical process states that they should not only demand, but they should be able to take. Now at some point they're going to get their ass shot, club like a baby seal or whatever, but that's the, it will take longer with some, shorter with others, but consistently this will be the process for a lot of these buffoons. It's how they will develop mentally in a crisis situation. And we have seen it before. When it looked like World War III was going to come about, They were claiming back in the 80s, which by the way, it could happen because we were in the Cold War, civil defense was lacking. And so people were getting motivated and building up civil defense by taking care of, taking over the systems locally. And in Washtenaw County, the leftist in Ann Arbor, the rest of the county didn't want anything to do with Ann Arbor, which is a communist cesspool. But at the county commissioners meeting, the whole council was there, the leftists were all stepping up and this is what they said. That well, if World War III takes place, I don't think we're gonna, wait, I don't think I'm gonna make it. And so you don't need to have civil defense. And then we should take it and bring it all into Ann Arbor and lock it all up. This was recorded in meetings in these public hearings. They actually expressed the idea that, well, I want to roll up and die, and you deserve to die with me because I'm going to take you with us. So we shouldn't do anything. And it would just be, you know, it would mean that you'd live and I'd die. And it's not good. It's not good. It's not good. Seriously. The argument was fascinating to listen to and told you that you better buy more ammo because those are the lunes who told you you didn't need a gas mask that will be scrabbling at your face trying to take yours when the time comes. I have seen this before. Everybody understand that? That's the kind of creature telling you all about how you're stupid and they're smart. and progressively because they're smarter than you, they deserve the gas mask that you have that they chose not to acquire because they're special and you're not. And so again, just warning you. And these fruit loops are useless. They're not producers. They are not in any way, shape or form. Would they step up effect? The fact that they're not doing, they will find every excuse. They're the classic criminal mind in that respect. I've watched criminals do everything they could. It only take a moment to perform a certain task. And I mean hardcore, downright criminals. Part of their process is they will not step forward, do something that needs to be done, and just accomplish it and get on with other things. And it's part of the psyche. It's part of the whole mental rap with these types of sick minds. And the leftist is the worst. Those are another batch of criminals, real hardcore criminals in an environment, fasting to watch the process of how they think. And because of it, how much time is wasted. Now again, for the sociopath that's the hyper leftist that tells you you're terrible for preparing, it will be a very short strike from you're stupid and they're smart to they deserve what you have. Which is why you need to, again, I will say this, this is Weapons Wednesday, buy more ammo. We're at the bottom of the hour, by the way, a little past, and because of that, with the bottom of the hour break... This is my right, one is mine! Before! Honey, there's a red coat, what mind you manage to build? In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not just singin' of the view, go wild and free. But soon you'll know the ringin' love, the right flow from the tree, oh, the right flow. Oh, the rifle, in our hands will prove no trifle. You may ride a good lead speed, you may know it's turn to master. You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back's much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And their leader just starts glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hands will prove no trifle. We need no graves at home, back across the briny water And giddy must come, as well as to the slaughter But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun If Clinton's figure holds the buck true, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, we'll prove no right-ful Hold the rifle, hold the right-ful In our hands, we'll prove no right-ful We are back. It is Weapons Wednesday. And a quick reminder, too, there's a number of different ammunition issues. Nitrocellulose, of course, is now in short supply. It shouldn't be, really, even with all the consumption. So this is an intentional blockage of a core raw material. Because of that, we need to be looking, again, to other solutions. Let me point something out. If you do a little research, and I've mentioned this many times, nitrocellulose was a shortage item during World War II for the Europeans. In fact, the Germans had an extensive problem with powder production. Now, the American solution is just make more. In other words, crank out production, build up more manufacturing sites. The globalists have done everything they can to destroy all manufacturing in the United States. It's not accidental, it's part of the waging war in America. You have the Jewish NGOs attacking with invasion from one direction. You've had specific multi-generational attack on the economy and especially the manufacturing and farming base of the United States, which has always been its strength, food being most important first. With food, you have the ability of the excess calories you need to build a society. Your enemies understand this. It's why food production is being attacked and targeted. But manufacturing, of course, of other durable or perishable goods, is also critical to understand. World War II, the Germans ended up with a powder issue with regard to what they needed for a two, which then became a three-front war. What happened? Well, they actually had to turn to what they called alternate ammunition formulas that were developed. And amazingly enough, they found out that they worked as well as the traditional formulas, but they were much less complicated. and cheaper across the board. So amazingly enough, these solutions were satisfactory to deal with the problems of being able to crank out more product, and they required less of a logistics train to get done what needed to be done. So there were two alternative powders produced about 19, late 1942 on that became dominant. Here's what's interesting. All that ammunition the Germans produced at the end of World War II in middle and end, they ended up in the Renna Revolution market. Many of us shot this stuff for decades. Amazingly enough, German ammo used to be a few pennies around, two cents around back in the day, guys. Made eight millimeter mouths are very affordable to shoot. And then it dried up of course after the Gun Control Act 1968, it caught up, it took 10 years. But 1977, 78, we had an ammunition shortage that was developing. The good thing is it helped to produce reloading interests, and we really started to crank garbage out. I mean, we were doing it everywhere. And so they realized this was backfiring because it helped to build up manufacturing. Now, this time around, they know that the manufacturing, the private manufacturing base using reloading technology of all types is in place and actually is quite productive. So we're seeing a core component attack here. Again, nitrocellulose being the negate factor, what they're doing is throwing that as the stick in the spokes to try and jam up the mechanism. We need to be ahead of that curve, like I said, and coming up with solutions. Florida, the disc, is one of those. So again, if you get a chance, if you've got a copy of Florida, share it with other people. If you haven't gone through that file completely of the files on board, which have been duplicated extensively. then do sort immediately. You'll see what I'm talking about. Go ahead, call your Japan there. Yeah, I want to bring up the issue of reloading supplies. Guys, don't wait too long. I mean, yeah, it's cheap to get ammo now and later on it's not going to be as cheap. It'll be cheaper to reload right now. I was looking at 40, 64 and 48, 95 the other night. Can't touch it for under $45 a pound. Yeah, if you buy eight pounds, you can get a discount. But no, you're not paying five, eight dollars, or $10 or $12 a pound anymore for reloading powder. I'm assuming primers are gonna go away just the same way they're gonna disappear. Anything you need for reloading, get it now. Just get it, get it, it'll be there, over. Buy what you can and what you can find that's on your list. I had a couple individuals and probably listening right now. over this last weekend that we're asking about the stuff that they've accumulated over the years. The good thing is that most of what they accumulated to load will overlap into 556 and 30 carbine and many others. So a lot of what you pick up, remember, especially when something is inexpensive, Redloaders figure out how to make it work with everything. So the base technology research has already been done for a lot of different powders. If you pay attention and also don't throw away old or collect old reloading manuals, there is a lot of useful information because you may run into powders at estate sales, auctions, You can find them at odd resale shops on occasion, which if you do, usually people just clear them right out. But if you're the first guy up on the block there and you find them with something that was turned in as an estate item, grab it. All powder is good powder. Okay, the best way to describe it right now. especially since you might catch it on the sly. Unfortunately, everybody is focusing on the estate sales right now, so the price differential is catching up. But reloading dies, guys, the mechanicals, we can make all of the components. Although I would beg that if you're doing reloading right now, save all spent primers. Save all spent primers. That's one more step you don't have to do. Yeah, it's one of those things that we can rebuild the components if we had to make them. Oh, that's a bugger. I mean, there are people who have even shown you how to make the complete primer from scratch. But we shouldn't have to do that because we have these perishables that we've popped. And all we have to do is disassemble the two pieces of the anvil the end hole in the cup and basically reintroduce the fulminate there, whatever, there are several solutions that work by the way and yes some are corrosive. But we can reintroduce a material, put the primer back together after you've hammered out the firing pin dimple of course, there's a whole little simple process for that. And you can reintroduce that primer back into a primer pocket with powder in the case and a bullet and congratulations, you're back in business. But components that you're taking for granted won't be there. I'm to the point where again, we've done this several times and they don't go bad is also get to the shot shell ranges and collect the fired trap. that are out there because there's hundreds of them. And usually a trap load isn't the toughest load out there. It's actually, and not very, depending on who it is it's shooting. But because it's typically an intermediate or medium load, in some cases a light load for the work because you're saving powder, then guess what? That wad didn't take a whole lot of abuse. and barring somebody running over with a lawn mower or stepping on it and crushing it and rubbing it into the ground. Maybe they thought it was a cigarette butt or something. I don't think so. These are one of the many items that if you can save there, we can crank out more for everybody else when they need it. So, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Another thing here is, go ahead, color, jump in there. Hi, Mark, it's John from Kentucky. I got a question. Reloading 50 cal with cast lead. Do you know anything about that? You could do 50, you could. Now that's the interesting thing about even a 50 caliber gun. The biggest problem is heating, just as we have with the case, with a lead projectile for single shot use, it can be done. Okay. Here's the neat thing about that though. How about a lead cast projectile with a gas check and you know where you get the gas check from? No. Half inch copper pipe cap from the plumbing warehouse. Okay. Isn't that a simple solution? I don't want to push it real fast. I want to slow it down, reduce the velocity to prevent the lead sharing. Yes, you're going to get thermalization. You're going to get shear in transit. This is the problem with doing cast bullets with high velocity rounds. So it's not just the idea that you'll get cavalry buildup in a semi-automatic weapon, but yes, in travel, the bullet heats up and becomes malleable. The way to do that, one of the solutions is also to copper plate the projectile. But if you do slow it down, yeah, if you do slow it down, it's a freight train coming at you. It's like we said, you can press whatever bullet you want, whatever you wanna make. And while it's not going as fast, if it's five, six, 700 grains of material, when it gets to the other end, it's gonna deliver all that energy or that much more energy on target. It's gonna stay with the target. It's not gonna push through. Now, probably would anyway, big enough, but it's the idea that yeah, it's a devastating bullet under those conditions. It's like 30-06, making a 30-06, for close-order anti-personnel work and dropping it down in velocity to subsonic. They're basically a non-suppressor heavy bullet for sensory removal because everything stays with the target. Now, of course, it's going to be a 30-caliber, not a 38 special, but you can build basically a barrel round, you can build it and swage it off of solder stock. Maybe using a bullet swage, you can use them. It's like what they're doing to take when you're taking 22 rimfire cases to make 556 spitzer projectiles. You take the same bullet swage, only work it with a 30 cal and don't worry about an aerodynamic front. Just do it as a flat channel. everything stays with the target with something like that, which means it would just be a thud puppy. You literally would probably move the target. Most of these, well, what you see with people getting hit and moving in a movie is nonsense. But with something like that, my dad used to hunt with a 45-70 and you hit a deer with a 45-70 and physically you do a perfect shoulder shot. you could see them move sideways. They didn't go forward so much as they went sideways. And it's just because that big-ass bullet catching up with all that energy and all of it being delivered against the target is quite efficient. So, were you thinking about using that in a bolt gun? Oh yes, yes. I have a bolt. Yeah, I wanted to use it in the bolt gun. Instead of using 218 grains of powder, I wanted to drop it down to around 100 grains of powder. That way I get more shots cheaper. But I haven't been able to find any information on cast lead for a 50. I'll maybe get a hold of the 50 caliber club. I need to contact them. You know what, Mark Serbu, if you go over to YouTube, Mark Serbu has a channel on YouTube and he does a lot of subjects and I don't know, he basically covers some of his weapons, he's covering his weapons designs. But because of that, you have a point of contact and he's done, well, he was one of the founders. I mean, he goes back to the beginning of the 50 caliber shooters association. So if anybody's gonna know who to talk to, he's probably the man. I used to be a member. I used to be a member. I'll dig out some of my literature, get a phone number and call somebody. Absolutely. Well, also check C. He might have a contact point. I haven't bothered to look that closely if he has a contact number on his YouTube channel. Mark Servu. On the 30.6 one cutter you were talking about, I'm using a 170 grain stub that has a flat nose, which is what I use in the 3030, and it'll work in the 30.6. Oh yeah. And that's sort of a flat nose, kind of like more of a one cutter. Exactly. Yeah. And again, one of the neat things about that is you can drop, like you said, to save powder means more reloads. But you can slide the, if you look on the reloading scale, you can slide that down quite a bit and still have acceptable velocity for short to intermediate range. That's the idea. Save the powder. So, hold on here guys. Oh, you bugger. You know what? I've been out working. A subject we don't need on the air here, but we have a problem with ticks this year. And one just decided to let me know where it was, which is good because it's now dead while we're talking on the air. But we have had a massive tick issue outside. The good thing is we have ducks, and the ducks love the ticks. Tasty little morsels being what they are. So we let the ducks go crazy on them. Whatever we can. Run, you heard of ducks, run. One more thing real quick, since you're using, well, I know what bullet you're using because it's also, you can use it with the 30-30, oh, what was the load that they were using? And it was the 180 or 170 grain flat face, 30 caliber, I think it was one of the, well, of course it's an obsolete round too, that's obsolete, the 30 Remington. There aren't any of those around. I mean, the rifles are around, but the ammunition is simply not available. I don't know if anybody's building it even, but that was one of those rounds that was used very popular. It was very popular with the prison guns. It's a prison gun, as originally what those were for, the 30 Remington 32s. I mentioned that many times, law enforcement had them. During the Bonnie and Clyde window of time, it was very common It was one of the most common weapons beyond like the Tommy gun that everybody sees. You hardly ever see anybody, they don't show anybody using it because well, to make blanks would be expensive. But the 30 Remington with a heavy bullet was a very popular people stopper for guard, like tower guns, because you're not shooting that far away. And the idea was you didn't want to have to spray and pray, so to speak, and they were using a semi-automatic weapon. So, 30 Remington and the Remington semi-automatic magazine fed rifle, and then later it was also in 32 Remington, which is even harder to find. And it was the heavier weight, flat face, soft point bullet that they were using. Needless to say, slid probably over from the 30-30, because that was so prevalent with the Marlins and the Winchesters. But every indication is that, although it didn't have the speed, It made up for weight, that in weight, and of course that's always the plus side. You can slide the weight up and bring velocity down. And when you bring velocity down, that means you're not using as much powder. So you get more bang for the pound is what it comes down to. And everybody, yeah, we need to keep thinking about this, especially I had this conversation this morning and yesterday with two different people. And the first complaint was the very thing that Darb brought up that in another part of the country, the cheapest pound of powder is at about $60 right now. And so again, well, once they made the announcement that the nitrocellulose issue is there, and because of the announcements that they're not selling anymore to the public venue, several of the companies are, then the prices jumped immediately. So we know what part of this is, not accidental. And part of that is that yes, when the supplier comes back, if they come back, and it looks like we've got two or three foreign companies, what did I say? What did Uncle Mark say about this? Well, we've got Finland. All these countries are doing war production for themselves and their UNs, so they've been told, deny to the United States. Since we didn't produce more in the United States, it's those external companies that all they did is turn the valve off on the supply. Now nothing's coming in. Not a surprise, it's what we told you so we warned everybody about this. We have Craig from Forbidden Knowledge coming up next, guys. Don't you touch that dial because there's more liberty free video coming up here live. God bless the Republic. Accumulate. Don't forget, although black powder is already a problem, so are black powder reloading supplies. I should say black powder supplies. But black powder can be used for most straight cases and any other cases in a pinch. A little research. Everybody's already done the write-up on this over the last hundred years because of the wars we've been in and the shortages that existed before we got our act together during those wars. So guys, solutions, let's just complain about the problems. We know what the issues are and we're gonna make sure we fix them. I'm gonna get out of the way. Craig coming up next and we'll be back in one hour with even intel reports. God bless. I've got quite a few things on the list here. So I decided to go on a night god, the weather's good. It's sunny out. It should be out there working. Here I am sitting here doing the show. So it's rough for me right now. I've got a lot of things going on. Let me run through a bunch of the... Is somebody trying to participate there? I hear a little bit of an echo or something. No? Okay. I have a bunch of... Things to cover here, but let me first run through a few basics. And a lot of you've already heard a lot of these things as far as what's going on in the news. There have been arrest warrants issued for Netanyahu and some others in his government for potential war crimes. But that doesn't really mean much. Nothing will ever come to that unless Israel is defeated and we can bring these criminals to justice. Nothing will ever happen. I mean, Putin has had an arrest warrant for him. for more than a year. So same thing and this happens quite frequently and very very rarely does anybody ever come into for justice. So you can kind of dismiss that. Nothing will happen from that more than likely. Zelensky in Ukraine is no longer a legitimate leader of that country. His term ended, I think it was yesterday. And so he's no longer a president and he's essentially a dictator at this point. He's a non-elected dictator and Russia is going to take a hard-line stance against that. They vowed not to assassinate foreign leaders. But now Ukraine doesn't have a leader is the way they could look at it. I heard some talk about that. So anyway, we'll see what happens. You might see some kind of kugel on there. You might see Zalensky Fleet. I think he's got an estate in Italy. And he probably got a lot of places that he could flee to. But he is a... he's got a very... uncertain future, shall we say. Let's see here. I'm watching a... I kind of paused there because the first time I put out a hummingbird feeder and it's very rare. I've never really seen hummingbirds in this area of Michigan, but one just came by and landed in the feeder that I put the very first time I've seen one. Of course, I'm very rarely sitting here inside watching the bird feeder. But anyway, kind of interesting. First time I've ever seen one. Here in Michigan, but it finally worked and up for more than a month Okay, let's see here. Also. I think it was yesterday or today Norway Spain and Ireland are have vowed to recognize Palestine as a state So more and more countries are getting on this and more and more is the time goes by does Israel get embarrassed See here. What else what else what else our cadaver in chief? decided to raise tariffs on Chinese Solar, electric vehicles, some other technologies I think. We are now going to be seeing higher prices. Of course, we haven't really seen any, it's very, very rare to see any electric vehicles here from China. China does have electric vehicles and they're quite significant in China. But our Cadaver in Chief has decided to try to keep them out of the US and I don't necessarily disagree with that. But at the same time he's put all these tariffs on solar items, which I'm trying to do a solar system right now, trying to revamp a solar system. That's what I'm going to talk about here, much of the rest of the, oh, I want to, before I get into that. Also there's that Iranian president died, of course, and is a foreign minister in a helicopter crash in Iran. And although I still probably believe it's just an accident, I mean, here we're talking a 1970s helicopter, they're probably barely keeping running, and they have bad weather and helicopters. I mean, this is a thing with helicopters, bad weather and some equipment and malfunctions. I can't fly the blind or whatever, and the old helicopter is very possible, could have just crashed. What I find strange about it, however, Uh-oh, maybe I'm not on the air anymore. Are we off the air or something? I'm not sure what's going on here. Can anybody hear me? Okay. Craig. Yes. You're 100% loud and clear. Over. Okay. Okay, thank you. I got a call from Ed in the studio, a phone call, and maybe he just did a- Sorry about that, Craig. I dialed the wrong number there. Okay, that's not me. So something with the Iranian thing though that you said about it being an old helicopter. Even if it wasn't old helicopter, you're talking about a grand. There's a reason why it's a superpower in the area. They have the money to put behind it, behind their military to keep stuff running because they're an oil power. But, uh, I've heard talk about their military equipment being, you know, run down and not being maintained. That's, that's the reason why Israel's afraid of them. Well, I've read about these helicopters. We have their used older item, which is kind of amazing if you're going to apply to president in a run down helicopter. That seems kind of amazing to me, first of all, but Here's the thing that I had a problem with with the whole story. I do listen to some of the conspiracy theories. This one seems very plausible. Okay, yeah, who has a motive? Well, of course, Israel has a motive. The US has a motive. And there were three helicopters, but the only one that was affected was the one that had the president and the foreign minister. I think it was the foreign minister. I may be wrong about who the other high-up and the up was. The thing about it is, who might have even stronger motives might be the Ayatollah himself. Because the Ayatollah is in his 80s now, and he was supposed to, the president who was killed was supposedly going to be the next, potentially the next religious leader, the Ayatollah. But the ayatollah has a son that he probably wants to be put in his place instead. So it's quite possible. I'm not saying I have any evidence whatsoever. But there's a stronger mode, it might be the ayatollah himself to have brought down that helicopter. Now, he would have full knowledge of which helicopter the president was in and exactly when they were going to be taking off and etc. And so it would have been a fairly easy matter for him, I would think, to take down the helicopter. It would have been harder for Israel. Israel probably has the intelligence. They probably could have done it. I don't necessarily doubt that. I don't know how effective, what I say, a service air missile works in dense fog. I don't know enough about those things to understand if that's a very easily possibility because somebody could just be a couple miles from the airport or wherever they took off and just be waiting for those three helicopters come by. But then how do you target the one of the three that has the president in it? Seems kind of strange to me. So, but I told them exactly which helicopter the president was in. It's possible, Craig, because even foreign aircraft have transponders, and you know what transponders you're looking for? You don't need to lock onto the helicopter, per se. You lock onto the transponder. Okay, well, and whoever, with some intelligence service know which one to target out of the three that had the president in it. This just seems kind of strange. So I'm questioning some things about it, but frankly, it could very easily just be an accident. That very well could be. So I don't like to jump on every conspiracy theory, but the one that makes the most plausible sense to me is actually the Ayatollah having taken down that helicopter to eliminate a possibility of him becoming the next religious leader. Because the Ayatollah has more power than the president. The president is almost like as much power as our vice president has here in this country. And nothing will really change as far as policy goes. This man from what I've been hearing has been responsible for the death of a lot of their own citizens. And a lot of people are upset that he's gone. But again, the party that seems to be the most in question here would be the Ayatollah himself. But anyway, I don't know. That's the only question. As far as the aircraft being antiquated, if you want to use that terminology, the country that they're in, they are very pro recycling. They know how to take care of their stuff. And look at who's building weapons for all the wars that are going on. We're building one side. What's the nation that they keep saying is applying Russia with weapons? Not China. Where did the drones and weaponry come from that Russia made the deal with supposedly for all the missiles and everything? It was from what nation was that, Craig? Well, later in their war, their military operation, it was Iran. They bought the stuff in Iran. But anyway, I don't know. But if I'm gonna suspect somebody, I'm gonna suspect our suspect. The ayatollah himself. That's my personal opinion. I don't have any facts to back that up. And if they used to have black boxes, which I've heard they do, they should be able to determine something from the black boxes if they are totally destroyed. So, before we may not ever hear a thing because we don't have the availability to get the press, the real press out of Iran. Our government may know, but they may not tell us, or they may tell us something different. Or I press they tell something different. So anyway, I don't know what but speaking of speaking of parts availability and things like that Here's something that happened today. This is a person more on a personal level to me This is gonna be a little strange at first on because and I don't jump on any of these conspiracy theories But I have some inside knowledge here, but it's nothing to be concerned about I had a US government agency today by 30 Geiger counters from me. Now, right away people will think, oh, something's going to happen, something's going to happen. That's what a lot of people like to jump to that conclusion. But no, I looked to what it was exactly. I looked at the administration and a little bit about it. And I'm not going to reveal the exact details, just for the privacy of my client, essentially. Let me click on this email. But first of all, Geiger counters aren't for emergencies. Geiger counters are low-level detectors, radiation detectors. They aren't for high-level dangerous stuff. They're for low-level stuff, firstly. If they were to come and buy my entire stockpile of radiological survey meters, that might be old in a story. But this is under the associate program manager, contractor for the Department of Energy's National Security Campus Let me go to another page here. The party who bought, I'm leaving out some information like who the contractor is. It's a government contractor, first of all. I'm leaving out their name and I'm leaving out the state, which it's in because they have branches all over the country. But it's a national security campus for the National Nuclear Security Administration, managed and operated by a particular contractor that manufactures Non-nuclear components go into the United States nuclear stockpile. But they also produce non-nuclear mechanical, electronic and engineering material components for US national defense systems such as high energy laser, ignition systems, microwave hybrid, microcircuit, and production. I don't know what these things are exactly. And miniature electromechanical devices. It also provides technical services such as metallurgical analysis, mechanical analysis, analytical chemistry, environmental testing, and non-destructive testing, computer-based training, simulations and analysis, and technical certifications. So, yes, it's a branch of the National Nuclear Security Administration, but it's nothing that I would be concerned about whatsoever. This is a contractor for the US government, the National Nuclear Security Administration, and they produce non-nuclear materials. Now, why they need a Geiger counter, I'm not sure, it's not my business, I'm not going to go into it, but maybe there's some components. When they say they do metallurgical testing, for instance, that very well could be simply all they need is x-ray detectors. Because if they want metallurgy, they x-ray welds to see how good they are, how good the welds are. They can see flaws by x-raying the welds. So that could be all that is. I don't know. Anyway, that was interesting. And that's a big sale for me and frankly it's going to allow me to buy some solar components that I'm trying to do now. Here's the thing, because the cadaver in chief decided to raise the tariffs on the Chinese stuff, all the Chinese solar stuff, everything coming in for this country, everything you buy on the market, essentially everything, not 100% everything, but almost everything you could buy in the market relating to solar, inverters, charge controllers, batteries, all the components you need for a solar system or a wind system are all Chinese. The Chinese have acquired the market and so the tariffs are designed to try to boost the US sales, right, US manufacturers, but we don't really have anything. Very, very little of it. Now, EVs haven't gained a foothold here in the US from China. But all the solar stuff has, the alternative energy stuff has, all of it has. And if you go and find stuff that is specifically US made, it might not be what you want or it might not be at a price that's anywhere near where you can buy the equivalent of from China. Unfortunately, that's the way our world works today. But anyway, because you want to buy solar panels and stuff. Here's an example. I'm doing this solar system right now. I have a solar system that I'm replacing. So I'm actually not going to replace it. I'm just going to add to it. Because if you've actually watched any of my YouTube videos, you can see some of the, I think two of the videos I might have put it in. And I know I play in the background of one of my videos. A large solar array, well it's not really large by today's standards, but it's a array that's up in the air on a pole, what they call a tracker. A tracker, all that means is all these solar panels are on a flat plane and they're on this pole and they rotate to follow the sun all throughout the day. That's what a tracker does. You have two access trackers where solar farms might use solar trackers where the panels kind of face east in the morning and then they slowly rotate during the day and then end up at west in the evening and then after dark they rotate back east and wait for the sun again. That's kind of what this tracker, if I have a dual access tracker where it actually follows both northwest east south so no matter where the sun is it tracks it. Anyway, back in the day, somebody trying to talk there? No, okay, I'm sorry. I keep hearing tech notes so I'm not sure sometimes when I'm hearing somebody trying to Back in the day, solar was so expensive that The trackers were almost mandatory, not mandatory, but they can boost your output by about 30 percent. Because the panels need to be kind of facing directly at the sun to get the most power out of them. You're going to get less in the morning no matter what, in the evening no matter what, because the sun basically goes through more atmosphere and it's less intense. So you're going to get less anyway in the evening and in the morning. But if it's pointing directly at us, you have more square surface area pointing directly at the sun, getting as much of the solar The solar rays it can possibly get so the trackers back in the day help boost Production about 30% roughly they say 30 to 40% right there I don't think ever saw 40% but 30% is a good number of how a dual access tracker can gain your play what I'm getting at here is there's a couple things about this First of all the panels that I have on that tracker that you might have seen that video for videos back in 1989 We knows what purchase They were at about, it cost me about $300 for each panel. Now each panel is only 40 watts. By today's standards that's tiny. Now these panels are one foot by four foot and that was normal back then. And they cost about $300 and that comes to about $7.50 a watt. Now by today's standards, today's prices I should say adjusted for ablation, We're talking instead of seven dollars and fifty cents a lot. We're talking eighteen dollars and ninety six about nineteen dollars a watt is what we were paying back in 1989 for solar panels today that is about 27 cents a lot So if I sit with those Chinese fans my panels that I have on the pole are made by get this This is just my surprise a lot of you because they say all the oil companies are trying to shut down shut down oil or shut down the solar and we'll know these panels are made by Arco solar Yeah, that's the big solar. That's the big oil conglomerate Arco solar the the points I bought I actually bought back then I bought used panels for about half the price. They were about $150 each in 1989 dollars and they were from a plant they were dismantling in California called Carrizo solar. It's kind of hard to find information about them because the internet didn't exist back then and so no new hardly anything can be found on the internet about it. But anyway I bought a bunch of those panels and what you see on the poll if you've seen that video and if you want to find the video it's where I'm talking about this. I'm fairly recent, one of my more recent videos. I think it was Last year, I've been putting out very many videos and it was something to do with the Fukushima water. The truth about the Fukushima water release. So it would have been about, probably about nine or ten months ago anyway. As you see in the background. That's about an 800 watt array. At full sun, everything's perfect. It can produce up to about 800 watts. Again, small by today's standards. Because nowadays, people are putting the average The average array that people are putting on their roofs, if that's what you're doing, average nationwide in this country is about 5,000 watts of electricity on people's roofs or out in your yard or whatever. About 5,000 watts to the average that people put up these days. And this is only 800 watts, so it's not even one-fifth of what is normally installed today. But back then, that was a huge system because solar panels were so expensive and you needed to maximize. By the way, today I was up on a ladder on those things, because I'm going to have to remove them. The barn that they're attached to that I built in 1977, I'm tearing down. I haven't maintained it well enough, and the roof is collapsing, and I need to get those. And there's 12 tons of batteries inside that barn that I need to salvage, because those will probably be scrapped. I could refurbish them. I've seen a lot of videos how people can do that. involves a lot of soldering and maybe even melting down and creating your own plates and things, but I'm not sure I'm going to go that far because that's a huge battery bag. Back then, I had, that was a big system. 12 tons of batteries. I think that's 300,000 watt hours, if you know what that means. So, it was a big system. And I was using it to power tools and stuff out there at the property to build that underground house. Which my life completely changed after divorce and everything went to hell and so anyway this stuff has all just been sitting there and deteriorating Well the tracker and the panels are still there and I was very lucky because I've had bullet holes in trucks and things that are out there and problems with hunters with poaching and cutting down trees and so on But luckily, no hunters took potshots that I've seen, can see, at the solar panels. That's kind of amazing to me. Because hunters, whatever reason, they get out there with a gun, they don't get a deer, they just want to shoot things up or whatever. I don't understand the hunters' philosophy with all that. But that's what they do. That's what some people do. But anyway, there's no bullet holes in any of the panels. I was very, very happy with that. No trees fell on them, because at the time, there were no trees, but now there's a lot of trees. Because these were installed more than 30 years ago. Now, the tracker is made by a company called Watsun, which at the back of the day was a brand, there were only really two brands out there back in the day. And now there's not very many of these companies available because back in the 70s, after the oil embargo of 1973 and all the things that happened afterwards in the next decade or so dealing with energy, all the energy crises we had, Jimmy Carter putting solar panels on the roof and then Reagan removing them. Jimmy Carter wearing a sweater and telling you to sit on national TV to tell you to turn down your thermostat all these things I'm old enough remember that stuff anyway All these government subsidies that came about in tax incentives to increase solar and wind and alternative energy and that all disappeared Reagan pretty much put a stop at most of that and then And so all these companies went out of business, but I was surprised to see that the Watson company was still in business I was happy with that because I'm gonna need some parts I about 20 years ago, I locked it in place to where it wouldn't rotate anymore. It was just static facing south because I wasn't out there anymore much because of what was going on in my life. And I was five, four hours drive away and everything. So I just locked them to the south so it wouldn't move anymore. And about five years ago, I noticed the panel shifted. Something broke in one of the actuators because they have these linear actuators, these motorized things that move the panels. One of the actuators, there's two of them, one of the actuators seemed to have busted something internally and it dropped down from about a 40 degree angle to about an 80 degree angle. So almost vertical. But anyway, and might have done some damage to other things. But I don't say it's broken well, nothing appears to be visually wrong. So I'm going to salvage that and use those again. The batteries will probably be recycled. That many tons of batteries, crap price today of lead, I might get close to 20 grand out of those batteries. So that'll help fund this solar system I'm rebuilding. I don't know, I haven't taken any of them out yet. I need the crane. I got to build roads to this barn so I can get the crane over there because I'm going to try to pull the solar array. It's going to take a long time to disassemble. I'm going to pull it out off the pole or pull it out with the pole out of the ground. It's not a 20-foot pole in the air. The top of the array is about 24 feet because of the height of the pole and where it rotates and all that. But anyway, it's up in the air. Try to get over some bushes and shrubs and hills and things. And I'm going to pick it up at the crane and kind of start working on it. So I'll see what I need to get worked on it. I may have to, some of the metal parts are a little rusty. I might take those off and powder coat them. But it's still have to be disassembled. Better to assemble it on the ground and redo it than dissemble it up in a scaffolding or up on a ladder. And when I built it, I built it on scaffolding. I put scaffolding up all around it. So this, and I'm going to recycle that, reuse this array. Even if I can't get it to work where it's rotating anymore. Remember, this is almost 30 years old. But the company still exists and I've sent them some pictures of what I got and they're going to maybe work with me and maybe I can get some parts. But at the very least I can always just keep it locked in the south position. And so I'm going to... with the contents of this barn, I'm going to get a shipping container. And instead of mounting it to the corner of the barn, it's going to be mounted to the corner of the shipping container. You'll have these holes that are in shipping containers that are used to lift and move the shipping containers. These are strong points on them. I've devised a system, I've engineered something that I'm going to have a welder build up for me. I could do it myself, but I frankly just pay somebody else to do it and have a better job done. Then I'll take in powder coat with those components. There's just two pieces. And then I'll be able to mount the solar array on the corner of a shipping container. It won't even really need any bolts. It will just basically be held in by rings and gravity and locking indexes. That'll basically be... And I've never seen this done. This is my own design, my own invention. People have footshipping about solar panels on shipping containers, but they're always on on flat arrays not on Not on trackers at least I've never seen one I did a lot of looking on YouTube and on the internet and I couldn't find anybody that's ever done this I had to admit something myself and as long as I have enough weight in there, but I'm gonna the shipping of this is gonna be in will be Basically bolted to two piers in the ground so it won't have it because you have a The space there it's let me see 10 foot by We see a foot by 12 foot. No, let me see 10 foot by 8 foot. Yeah, but basically a sail up in the air 25 feet in the air That's a 10 foot by 8 foot sail and so there's any kind of wind Puts a lot of stress on that it might even be able to push over a shipping container with if it wasn't bolted down So anyway, I'm gonna have to bolt down the shipping day at least I think I'm going after Or brace it in some way, but I already have a device a method My crane has an auger, it's the utility, it installs telephone poles. So my crane has an auger with a, I went and measured it yesterday at 20 inch auger, 20 inch diameter. So I can drill a drill up here, going down below the frost line and pour a little bit of concrete in the hole and then wait for that to cure a little bit, then put a sonotube. That's a big, that's a cardboard tube basically. 8 inch or 10 inch is all I need. Sonotube going up to the surface for the concrete in that, with some rebar in it. Rebar coming all the way from the footing and then bury it back under and I got a quick and easy footing. And be able to mount that to one of those bottom, I can't remember what they call those things. The corners, all eight corners of a shipping container have these modular, standardized receptacles, if you will, where a device can lock in and pick that shipping container up in its entire contents. Anyway, this is my own design. I'll be working on that this summer too since I haven't been able to get a mechanic out there. I've got a lot of things I could be doing to work on this house project that's not going to be doing done this year obviously because I still haven't been able to get... Here we are two months into the building timeframe of available non-winter workable weather and I still haven't been able to get a mechanic out there. Still been contacting people. I got two potentials but I'm trying to get them to go out there and... I'm just having a hell of time getting this equipment fixed. I got two engines that I've been replaced. One in the crawler loader and one in an army truck. Ready to get started. But I gotta get the guy out there that knows more about this stuff than I do. I might have done something wrong. But anyway, that's the story on the Watson Tracker. And I'm going to try to use these same solar panels. I have some more of those solar panels, the same Carrizo solar panels, the old ones, the antique ones. And I show those in another video of mine, by the way, close up. Show one of them. where I talk about the bad energy policy of the United States. And those panels still produce power. I haven't really measured the exact power output, but anyway, I put them on a step van that I'm living in out there. And I'm able to have my basic electricity needs, my small electricity needs, because I only have eight panels up there. That's only, I see that sort of, I have about 80, 160, 320 watts on the roof of my step van is all I got. I can add a few more. I'm not concerned about it right now because my battery was so small, all I was using was two lead acid batteries. Up until today, because today I took a receipt of two what we call LIFO batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries. These are the batteries that are typically used for home solar systems. They aren't batteries that are typically used for electric vehicles or your scooters or your bicycles or other electrical, or your phone. Those batteries are lithium-ion batteries. Those are the ones that can then go into thermal runaway. You've seen the reports about EVs. They catch fire and you can't put them out. It just becomes a blazing inferno. Well, the type of batteries I'm talking here with the liquid... I'm sorry, not liquid. Lithium, iron, phosphate batteries. These do not have that thermal runaway effect. There's videos on YouTube where people puncture them with big spears or even drill into them. And they smoke a lot, but they don't really catch fire and go in the thermal runaway like a lithium-ion battery will. Again, these two different types of battery technologies. Right now, those are the two most common types of battery technologies. The lithium iron phosphate are the ones you want to use for your home. The lithium ion batteries are the ones that are going to be in your phone, your scooters, your bicycles, your segways. It's not even a thing anymore, right? Segue. Those are the type of batteries that are in those kind of products. And cars are trying, EVs are starting to go more towards lithium-iron phosphate batteries because of the problem with the thermal runaway problem. So anyway, I bought two batteries. They're already assembled batteries. These are, let me pull up the specs on them. This may or may not mean anything to people who don't know anything about electric or batteries or anything. Basically, one of these batteries is about the equivalent of, well, it's the equivalent capacity of about four standard car batteries. They are 12 volt batteries, non-volatile voltage, like a car battery. They are 400 amp hour capacity and kilowatt capacity, kilowatt hour capacity, 5.12 kilowatt hours, or 5120 watts hours. In other words, basically you can power something 5120 watts. You can consume 520 watts for an hour before you deplete the battery. Now, I said that it was the equivalent of four car batteries. However, car batteries meaning lead acid batteries, because that's still what we use in cars today. Even after 100 years, we're still using the lead acid battery in cars. When you use the heavy duty batteries, what they call the, what's the word? Not heavy duty, heavy duty isn't really HD, the high density, no, no, no, no, no, losing a little bit of thought, I'm trying to find here. The battery, deep discharge, high discharge. The deep discharge batteries are still lead acid batteries, but they're slightly more robust plates. They're meant for greater, lower draw, whereas your car battery has more spongy-like plates, little lead plates, where it gets very high current for very short periods of time, because you really only need most of your current and your battery for starting the engine. And that's when you need a super high, you need like 500 amps or whatever, an instant. Whereas the high density or the heavy discharge cells, they're meant to be drained slower at a lower C rate, they call it. So anyway, but any lead acid battery, you damage it if you, the more you drain it below 50% of its rated capacity, you damage it. So, in your car, let's just say your car battery period is an example. You don't want to sit there and run the radio or whatever until the car is dead, you know, if you're just sitting there with the engine up. You don't want to run it until the engine is dead or if you have to accidentally, you don't close your door enough and the dome light doesn't go off and you go out the next day and realize, damn, the light was on all night. If you run your battery all the way down, you've definitely reduced its lifespan. So you want to do that. You want to actually keep it at about 50% of its rated capacity. You want to only drain it down about 50%. So when I say it has the capacity of four of these car batteries, in essence it really has the capacity of eight car batteries because these lithium-iron plastic batteries you can run down to zero state of charge and all the way back up to 100% without damaging the battery. Now, this is an adjustable thing. You can adjust these things to where... because they'll shut down automatically before they get damaged to the batteries. They have something in there called a BMS, which is a battery management system, which shuts down the battery automatically internally. There's a computer inside these batteries these days. The computer shuts down the cell before it reaches a state of discharge where it will be... it will start damaging the cell. Same thing with overcharging. It'll stop charging at a certain point so you don't put too much electricity in. There's a... But you can run 100% of those two parameters. And that's what the battery is rated for. You can go slightly more and slightly less, but you run risk of damaging the battery. But you won't get the risk of damaging the battery if sandwiched within the parameters of which that BMS is programmed for. So in essence, that's why I say, even though it's really the equivalent of a four battery, it's the usefulness of about eight batteries. So I'm replacing two car batteries with eight batteries. But hold on, there's more. I bought two of these batteries, these lithium ion and positive batteries. So now I actually have the capacity of four car batteries in this 12-volt system. The actual usable power of 16 car batteries inside this step van. Now I don't have enough wattage on the roof. to match these batteries, so I probably should. But right now I'm not living in it full time. And so it's not a big deal. I'm still charging the batteries, just at a much slower rate. It'll take probably a month to charge up these batteries with the way I'm using it now, but that's fine. So anyway, I have more battery power now, and so now the two batteries in the step van, which are the starting batteries. I'm using regular batteries. that I've been using those will be just delegated again back to where it's just to start the step in because I go in the city go inside the step van and I can turn on the radio and turn on the lights and everything off the carbon up it the regulars the system of the Step man the lights in the radio in the fan and all this it's all built into the step van It's all it's always been there. These are just a trouble system tube to follow batteries wired in parallel And so I always had electricity in there with those and now the solar panels will come up. The problem is when I run an inverter, inverter if you don't know, converts to the DC electricity, in this case 12 volts, to 120 volts so you can plug something in like an AC that you have in your house. So I had to have a couple inverters in there. When I needed to use the inverters very much, like to say, when I have a small refrigerator, I could run a small refrigerator full time. It wasn't powerful enough. I need about two or three times the amount of solar panels to do that. Plus much more battery capacity. I'm talking about those cube refrigerators that you put on a desktop. That's really small ones. But I was able to charge the batteries from my power tools and a few other things with the inverters. I've had two inverters. One's only 1,000 watts and one's only 750 watts. These are fairly small inverters by today's standards. Just enough to run a few things, a few small things on AC. But now with this bigger battery bank I can hook up a 6,000 watt inverter if I want. And that'll run air compressors, that'll run things with a high startup draw. The problem is that the startup draw of, like even though your refrigerator may only run at 100 watts, it may draw up 800 watts in the first instance of it running and it typically will kick out your smaller inverters. So you need an inverter with a much larger capacity, well, capacitor too, when you decide to run what they call an inductive load, meaning like an air compressor or a table saw, something like that, where you turn it on and it draws, you know, when you turn on a table saw, for instance, you watch your lights dim, right? It draws a lot of energy instantly and then it goes through a normal steady state of a power draw. So anything that dims your lights, basically, when you turn it on, an air conditioner, The air compressor, a lot of your power tools, a drill press or something, all these tools that need a lot more power to start, these are the harder things you need a much bigger inverter to run. Because there's no way I could, even though the table saw only runs at, what did I measure it the other day? Even the table saw only runs at a few hundred watts. It surges at like a thousand, several thousand watts. And so I never could run Or my chops on my concrete cut off so I can never run it off my thousand one bird even though it consumes less than a thousand watts It needs many thousands of watts to start up and would kick out the invertee and really wouldn't be capable of it So if you if you're gonna run and I should probably should and I don't have much time I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about this for the rest of the night unless I'll be also talking about something else My inverter previously and I still have it still works. It's a 3000 watt inverter and that was big for the day Back in the 80s 90s. It's a 120 volt DC 220 volts AC Now that's there is no such beast even today. There was a custom-made one I had a custom-made because nothing existed back then like that Except maybe for some industrial application. I think it would have cost many thousands of dollars Well, this did I remember it cost me $3,000 to have this thing built way back then that's in 1989 dollars. I had more money back then But anyway The systems of yesterday, 12 volt was the common. The lower the voltage, the thicker cables you need. Because Ohm's law, if you multiply volts times amps, you get watts. So if you change the voltage, it drops the amperage. If you drop the voltage, it ups the amperage. So with low voltage, 12 volts DC, like your car. You need very high amps. These things are 400 amps. You can draw out of them, these batteries I just bought. They're very... It takes a lot of current, the low voltage. Now back in the day in 1989 12 volts was like the standard and you had you can you could plug in anything You can run off your cigarette lighter of your car. You can run off of these systems That's what a lot of people did when they had off-grid systems They had these 12 volt systems and they have these little blenders that run off at 12 volts like that even had Refrigerators that run off the 12 volts you could buy it costs a lot more money a lot of this stuff They can buy all these little 12 volts appliances that have cigarette lighter pump sockets a lot of them did or these are hardwired to your batteries and that's how you powered your house back way back in the day. This is the early days of DIY solar folks. Back in the day, 24 volts was kind of a new thing coming out because they increased the voltage. You have to have these massive cables. The cables from your batteries to your inverter had to basically be about four odd cables, meaning that's the gauge. If you don't know gauges, the wiring in your house is 14 gauge and 12 gauge. And then you get bigger wires, 10 gauge, and then it goes to 80, and you gotta go down, down, down, down, down. The wires coming into your house might be on the nature of two gauge or zero gauge, but we're talking four zeros. They look like hoses, like garden hoses. There's so much thickness and so much copper. So the pints was so, that's to keep the line losses from being too great. Because you tried to run two little wires, well first of all you could burn up the wires. You just tried to use a couple of 12 gauge wires going to an inverter like that. Your wire is going to quickly start smoking and catch fire too. Because of the low voltage. But at a higher voltage, I was running that solar array that was 800 watts with this 12 gauge wire going to my batteries. Because running it at 200 volts DC, the higher the voltage, less amperage. And that was a lot bigger wire than I really needed. But... Very low voltage drop at that rate. And I was running into a battery bank. It was 160 volts DC, those 12 tons of batteries I was talking about. Yeah, I was going to be powering a whole house here folks. And I'm going to try to do that again with this new system I'm building. And I'm not talking about the step band. Because also now with the sale that I just made today with the Geiger counters, and I'm putting myself out of business by doing this, but now that our cadaver in chief has decided to raise the The tariffs are going to raise the price of Chinese all solar stuff again even more even though it's a low it's a very hello historic rate compared to what it was has been You know, it's dropped hundreds of times lower than it was back when I started this It's gonna go. I think he talked about 100% tariff on the cars for us of EVs So he's gonna it now is the time to buy if you ever want to do a solar system folks Unless your goal is specifically look for US made stuff, which hey, more power to you, I believe in that too. I just don't have the money to do that. If you want to do that, that's great, and then there won't be any price increases on that stuff. But the Chinese stuff is going to go up in price. So every time I'm doing it, right now might be the best time if you ever want to do this. Just a little pro-tip there because the prices even though price of solar this price of solar will probably not be dropping much more personal China is taking a lost leader on a lot of stuff because they're flooding the markets trying to put everybody else out of business and then they basically kept the US market down to zero So they've been effective and they're trying to do this all around the world Some companies are out there and not much because the Chinese trying to corner the market and wish they've done a pretty good job of it and And now with the tariffs in the US and if other countries do it, they might be set back a little bit. Maybe some other countries will come on, but the price is going to go up. It's just a no-brainer, folks. Price is going to go up. Price of batteries has dropped over the years too. I don't have those numbers directly with me here. What I paid for those batteries back way back in the day for those 12 tons of batteries. I remember I brought them from, I brought them, I hired a semi, 12 tons of batteries. I hired a semi and on the way I also bought a 17.5 kilowatt wind generator. That's big. That's 17-foot blades. It's big for homes. And 12 tons of batteries and also a bunch of 10 solar thermal panels. Remember buying the semi? We bought the semi with the 100-foot tower. We bought the wind generator in Iowa. The batteries were from North Dakota. When I took us online and we went higher to some line we went picked up all these things the solar panels were from Minnesota the the solar panels meaning the The thermal panels water heating panels the Solar panel the photovoltaics we called them back then you know how they were here that name anymore The photovoltaics came from California, but those were by mail. Those are by UPS shipment So I didn't didn't go to California to pick up the solar for the photovoltaics And all the system was all this was put together in a system that was powerful. Let's power whole house an underground house Would be enough to power your house But a lot of people because if anybody tells you they they're off grid and they don't they don't they they've not hooked up the utility more And I get all my my elect my energy needs from their solar system. They are lying To you yet. They're lying. They're literally lying to you Trying to promote their agenda or whatever. They're lying to you. No one is powering their whole house strictly off of total tax or win and here's why because a lot of you already tried I go I know Joe down the street he's got no Joe is using wood to heat his house or he's using propane for cooking for his water heater for his clothes dryer or for his furnace you can't well I can't say you can't you would have to have a multi-million dollar system in order to power your whole house including all those things that I mentioned that take the most power dry. Anything that heats up. Your furnace, you know, or resistance heating. Electrical resistance, baseboard heating. Your baseboard heaters, your stove, your electric stoves, your water heaters, your clothes dryers. These things you aren't going to power off of your solar system. So Joe down the street doesn't reveal to you, say, yeah, I'm off the grid. I don't have a power utility bill anymore. Well, no, he's still paying for propane or he's chopping a lot of wood or whatever. He's still not off grid. He's off the grid maybe, but he's not energy independent. And that was my goal. Hello. You got it again. I'm going to have to dispute the thing about the water here because I helped build solar water heater units and they weren't that complicated to build. It wasn't millions of dollars to build the thing. It was a lot of money to put the tanks in. But even the way that they had done their solar water heaters in the two houses that we did the total units in, they ran the copper tubing underneath the floor of the house. So that way they got two, they, it served two purposes from the solar water heater, which is a different type of solar panel. It's still a solar panel, but you're pumping watering into it. Yeah. And they had the pipes running under the floorboards. So you can heat a house and keep your water at your solar. But again, that only works during the day. Yeah. Oh yeah. And you're also, well, the water heater is a good, because it's essentially a battery. But if you have, if you have a water heater tank, That's essentially a battery. In fact, the house I'm saying, you know, I put in a timer to shut off the water heater during the periods of 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. so that it didn't kick on at all during the higher electricity rates. It only kicks on electrically from the grid during the times when you have lower electricity rates. But in the meantime, you don't ever run out of hot- this house doesn't. There's a 40-gallon tank down there. You don't run out of hot water. You can still draw off that tank. It's a battery. The type of system you're talking about sounds to me, Ed, like what you're talking about is a solar thermal, which is water. In other words, the panels on your roof or outside or whatever, what have you, these heat water, they don't generate electricity. And those solar thermal panels, which I also talked about here a little bit too, they have photovoltaics and they have solar thermal panels. Solar thermal panels are for generating heat, and then usually it's in the form of collecting for water. You also have air thermal panels too, back in the day in the 70s. There's a lot of people that made the air. solar thermal panels. But the photothermals you can't make yourself, at least I've never heard of anybody making your own photovoltaic yourself. That's like what NASA uses on satellites. That's what most people have on their roofs. But the solar thermal, yeah, you heat water up and you store it in a tank. And yes, you can possibly, if you have a very efficient house, you can possibly heat your house that way. But Joe down the street in the solar system, they're going to power your whole house. Wait, wait, when you say the photo, what name you just said, those are electrical, right? Yeah, photo meaning lights, okay, and volcanic meaning bolts. Yeah, I'm gonna throw something at you. Copper wire, old CDs that are scratched or broken, Plexiglas or the clear resin. You can actually find blueprints on how to make your own solar panels that pull electricity with the material I just listed on YouTube. They're not going to pull the amount of power that you're looking for, but you could make something yourself if you needed to in a pinch. Yeah, I'm sure you can. I just never seen anybody really do it. Yeah, you'll find a lot of people that are doing it. Well, I have looked and nobody is doing on any kind of scale that was just other than tinkering and But not really producing much power. Yeah, I know it could be done because I mean help somebody did it back in the 1950s when they were invented So yeah, I know it can be done I just haven't seen anybody really doing it any kind of scale where you build your own and make your own system that we can power a house But anyway, yeah, I'm sure you're correct I have seen people that have tinkered and made various types of power generating devices The thing about these potable tanks, and this is part of the conspiracy theory that's always out there. People say, oh, the utility, they're keeping solar from, well, they're not keeping solar from you, which in fact they're purposely bringing in the cheap Chinese rates and people are, everybody knows somebody now that has solar systems on the roof. I mean, pretty much, you see them everywhere. Drive down a neighborhood, you can see, you know, one or two each block kind of thing. They're everywhere. So this is not something that the power companies are keeping from us. However, They're, they're, the, part of the conspiracy theory is they're keeping the, the, the power rate down because we really haven't surpassed much 20% efficiency rate on these things. Just the same with internal combustion engines, essentially. They're only about, I can't remember, I think it's somewhere around 20% efficient. So they aren't as efficient as they could be, but even the stuff NASA uses isn't all that much for efficiency, efficient for the, for the satellites and stuff that they use since the 50s. Well, 60s per NASA. NASA didn't really have much of the way it satellites in the 50s, right? But anyway, ever since the 60s, NASA's been using these very, very expensive. Back then, the sole expense of NASA was the only one that could really use the damn things. And then back in the 80s, they started getting cheap enough where people like me could actually possibly buy a few of them. But now they're so cheap that anybody can buy them. But if you're going to buy them, here's where to start. If you want to take my advice and jump into some kind of solar wind system or micro hydro, because micro hydro is even better. If you have a site that can, in other words, a little water wheel on your property. If you have an elevation drop of water, if you have a creek that's up high and then you have a lower spot on your property, that's the best way to go. Because that's 100% all the time, unless your creek runs dry. That's 100% power all the time. You can have a constant flow of electricity. Whereas solar and wind are not constant. They're extremely variable. You depend on the weather. But with falling water, if you have a creek that doesn't run dry or a river that you can tap off of, then you have 100% rated capacity all the time. That's the best way to go. But anyway, there's three different ways you can go. This is just a starter, since I only have a minute or two left in the show. Here's where you start. You get three different ways of getting a solar system or an independent energy system. You have completely utility tie, where you're attached to the grid, there's no batteries. You're selling all the power you don't use back to the electric utility. You're buying it and maybe 15 cents a kilowatt hour to go on your you're selling it back to them. It may be five cents Well, they have your you're helping pay for the grid. You're using their electricity So you help pay for the grid the second way the other extreme is off grid completely where you're not hooked up to the utility at all and you have a battery bank because you really can't run out without a battery bank because then you only have power when you have electricity we only have electricity when the sun's out or winds blowing so you have nothing in either way, so you need a battery bank And then there's hybrid systems that are sort of in between where you hook up the utility but you also have a battery bank as a backup. So if you lose power, you can switch over manually, well some have transfer switches, but you can switch over like the Tesla Powerwall for instance, you can switch this battery over and power your home for hopefully in the duration of the time of the power outage you got. So those are hybrid systems. Now all of these, if you have somebody install it for you, you're talking $20,000 to $100,000. I mean, you're talking a lot of money for these systems to have somebody come and install them for you. And there's a huge range, because it really depends on how much power you want, how much storage you want, etc. If you do it yourself, you're going to spend like one-fourth of that. And that's what I'm doing. I'm designing, I've got another battery I'm building right now, which is actually, uh, how many times bigger? Well, it's 60 kilowatt hours, so I can run 60,000 watts for an hour. off another battery bank of lithium-iron plastic batteries. I'm still building that battery, it's not completed, but I'm saving... It's like having four Tesla Powerwalls. Four Tesla Powerwalls are going to cost you about $45,000 to $50,000 in salt. I'm making these for about $10,000 in materials. So I'll have about four Tesla Powerwalls. If you don't know what Tesla Powerwall is, it's made by Tesla. It's a battery bank you install in your house. It basically bolts to the wall. It's maybe two feet wide by three or four feet high and it's filled with batteries. And that's what it has an inverter in there. And that's how you can run your house when you have a power failure. Tesla Powerwall. Some people in California sell back the power, charge those batteries up when the power is as cheap as they can, which is like 20 cents, and then sell it back for like 30 cents or whatever, because they pay more of a premium in places like California where they're hurting so bad because they gooped up and who knows, California messes up everything they do, right? So anyway, there's those three types of systems. If you want to complete a completely off-grid, you'll have to have a battery bank. If you want to be just utility tied, you don't need a battery bank. But you'll have to go through a lot of red tape and a lot of bureaucratic hoops to jump through in order to get that system hooked up to the grid. Because you'll have to have licensed electricians, approval by the code agency and everything. It's a fairly complicated process. And if you hire somebody to do all that, they take care of all that for you. But you're going to pay. You want to do it yourself, you want to build everything, build the battery yourself, build all this stuff yourself, not build the solar panels yourself, but you can build water panels yourself. No problem. It's still a lot of work, water heating panels. But it's going to cost you a lot less. With the price of solar panels, the way they are today, at about 27 cents a watt, it's a no-brainer. In my opinion, if you ever want to go with solar, now's the time to go. Those are the three directions you can go in. for an alternative energy system today, if you want to get into that. Do start doing research. I could have a whole podcast dealing with this every single weekend, every single week, and every single single day, actually, people do. There are podcasts out there where people talk about nothing but this sort of thing. I'm just giving you a basic run-around, not run-around, run-down of what I'm doing and what... I'm also trying to, I'm buying before the, what's the tariffs that our cadaver and chief put on us, I'm trying to buy a 14.2 kilowatt system, which is 36 solar panels. These are modern panels, again, 27 cents a watt. And that's like an array 40 feet wide by 30 feet wide, tall, whatever. That's more than what most people could fit on their houses is what I'm trying to purchase next and that's only about thirty eight hundred dollars plus taxes So it's but again, I'll be doing everything myself. I'm not building the panels, but I'll be installing myself mounting myself building my own mounting racks and Wiring them up and everything putting the inverse all that myself and save a lot of money My entire system will cost less than $20,000 and you'd be paying more than $100,000 for that system if you were to hire somebody to do it for you. What about you? If you have the money to do that, you can go ahead and do that. I don't have the money to do this. I'm scrounging to do it. But I can't build right now. Well, I'm doing other things. Keep you busy. Well, that's why you don't hear me every week. I either hear on Wednesdays or on the YouTube radio because I'm always working on a phone call. Until next time, thanks for joining us. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken a same number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the 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?

It is the 16th year of open obvious sitting your face. Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. 2024 Old Earth Calendar, of Givirolsh's Gut Captain. And 2024, Battle for the Republic, Book 1, the adventure begins. And for everybody, what an adventure we are having. It has been a beautiful season so far. We have had tornadoes, we have had all kinds of exciting and climate weather, which is typical for this time of year. There is nothing, nothing that is surprising anyone, or at least it shouldn't. It's classic springtime going into summer weather. We're not in the summer yet. We got plenty of time for spring still, a little bit. More in a little bit. So let's just hang on the roller coaster is going to continue We've had tornadoes in many locations. I would say Well, you wouldn't win this. Well, what would you say about the tornadoes? You've had I said if I were everybody out there I would have a storm shelter wouldn't you? I don't care where you are to be quite honest your point. Oh, they've had tornadoes Yes, we have tornadoes every year and you know, what's really fascinating is Let me point something out about Michigan. We get tornadoes you never hear about. I've lived in Michigan all my life and the division of the state, as we've said many times, is right up 127, right up the middle of the state. And if Urbandale, Michigan gets hit with a tornado, you know what? Nobody hears about it. Nobody, now this year they reported on the storms on the other side of the state and he actually heard it because the answering the national agenda is to create answering amongst the population. Thanks much thanks. You have to be panicked you have to be fearful it's you'll be absorbed we're doomed we're doomed. Shut up. Fact of the matter is is that cyclically we end up with this kind of weather every year. We also have one of the long cycles. And I don't know, I'd have to go back and go through all of my farmer's almond acts because they do cover quite extensively that very subject, to be quite honest. But it's been going on for longer than you and I will ever, well, longer we've been alive and longer than we'll live. Climate change. Shut up, you twits. The climate change crew needs have their, well, they need to be boxed. Head boxed is what they need, smack right side to head and shut up. Because yes, we have weather, okay? We have weather, and that's what we're having now. So let's be prepared for it. Prior proper planning does prevent piss for performance as we said. So storm shelter, why not? Why would you not have a storm shelter? If I lived in a tornado belt, and those tornado belts in the long schedule have changed. What was the last time you heard about a go for the gusto string of tornadoes from say Columbus up to the bottom of Michigan? Been a while, right? Here's the difference between shallow hell in the 21st century and the way people thought when we got hit with the big tornado cell in the 70s. Number one, what was really great is the early 70s, late 60s and early 70s, Earth House and the idea of berm housing was really big. So what was bad is we had a massive tornado cell and a cycle of them that hit in a channel that was quite wide and long from below Columbus, Ohio straight up through Ohio to Michigan. And the bottom of Michigan literally right around the area just below where I am right now was hit as severely just as bad whole farmhouses that have been there for 150 years or 120 years. were flattened like pancakes and turned to Flinders. Well, because of that and because there's that perfect storm thing, pardon the pun, what happened is instead of people building back their regular houses, you know what they did? And you can find these all up and down this channel where this took place, they built berm housing. And, well, wait a minute, it's flat as a pancake. You just said, yeah, the lower end of the Monroe Basin and the bottom of the Monroe Basin and beyond it is, yes, classic Ohio farm field, okay? And so, what was the solution? Well, burm up. So, because the water table was high, they burmed up. And you can go all up through this stretch. In fact, there are three houses, one of them I almost bought, We were looking at and we really would have picked it up as made by one of the contractors that was one of the original builders of berm houses and they were built literally, they're like bunkers, they are. They are highly survivable, they are built so that they are designed to deal with the kind of conditions that develop with, that's right, tornadoes. Now, why is it as everybody is building back, they aren't building in just like we're talking about? Why wouldn't you do that? Who convinced everybody that was smart not to do that? There's the thing that always fascinates me. Who convinced everybody that it was a bad idea to put a protective shelter in place so that you don't become part of the epic casualties for the next storm? Where did that idea come from? Please, I'd love to hear about it. because it's not stupid to build a protective shelter to keep your family alive. At the very least, keep you alive. Maybe you're by yourself. Who cares? But the fact of the matter is that they've got people stupefied or in that, that attitude and it's, it came out of the Twilight Zone somewhere. I don't know who pulled it out of their rumpus, but they all see everybody seems to want to embrace it. And then when crisis arises, how could this happen? Why did this happen? Well, chances are you didn't follow through on certain things you should have done to protect both you and your family. Okay, just that simple and again bill. What's that term that bite you build back better? Oh, why didn't we build back better? Why didn't somebody at least build back better that would have been kind of nice So prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance guys. Let's think ahead on this by the way It's especially handy because either for protection against Solar activity which is very very likely. Yes is a problem because we're into that long cycle with regard to the Sun And in the process, we'll protect you in the event of nuclear attack, tornadoes, hurricanes, there's a whole little long list of things. And by the way, building a blast shelter, even a place like Florida, isn't that hard. Remember the term berm construction, or rubble, that's another term I want you to understand because also for anti artillery anti-mortar protection, rubble slash berm construction is always preferred. So you need to be thinking ahead on that. It's just me, what do I know? Not a big deal if you got a basement to make another chamber out of cement blocks and putting a concrete cap on it and making yourself a really nice protective shelter with all the entities now and make sure that the Shelter is where you have your food storage, especially your canned goods, your jar goods, if you're doing jar canning, which we do a ton of. Nancy just did 20 pounds of cauliflower and made pickled cauliflower. So she has a recipe. It's hard to keep them in the jar. But again, what do you do? You make sure that your storage Well, you use your defensive position as your storage site. You don't have to move that food in order for you to take protective cover. And you preserve a specific amount of what you would need in the event of a crisis. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. That's our primary concern right now. Call her, jump in there, go ahead. Yes, another thing heads up for everyone, Humboldt Current. Go ahead, no, stop. The humble current is switched. Every four, five, six, seven years, that humble current, which majorly affects our weather, especially in the US, that forms in the Pacific. It comes all the way down the West Coast of the US. Oh yes, yeah. It goes all Mexico, all Central America. It goes completely down the west coast of South America. Case in point. When it switches, sailing preferences can change. Once upon a time when all we had were the square riggers that could only go downwind or reach downwind, that humble current can have currents 4, 5, 6, 7 knots. Okay, so commonly referred to El Nino years and La Nina years and that is the switching of the humble current if I'm not mistaken I think now we have just began to go into an El Nino current the reverse the reverse of that current So they're predicting I've heard things 35 40 named hurricanes this season over Exactly. And again, that's part of the... in fact, even the cycle we're talking about now by man's sense, you know, human experience, that's considered to be an intermediate cycle, you know, kind of like the sucking and blowing of the planet, because that's what it's all about, you know, in out. And what's fascinating about this is by our standard death, medium and long cycle would be a century. But by the planet's history, It's a blink of the eye. There are other sub cycles that are longer and that create whole secondary cycles that we don't have a written experience for. We probably have a verbal experience or we can find it in historical records if we dig far enough. But most of this is all known. It's just if you dumb the population down to not, again, intentionally, it's not accidental. Then nobody of course is thinking sound in any sound fashion with regard to making decisions. The idea is to panic everybody. So guys, we're not panicking. We just understand that there is a process involved here. It is a natural series of cycles. The short terms of the regular season, the intermediate are the decade or even up to quarter century cycles that take place. We haven't had a Dust Bowl in quite some time, but we're about due for it. So a Dust Bowl type experience. So again, these are all things that should be in people's brainpans because if we were listening to Grandma and Grandpa, oh no, we don't listen to Grandma and Grandpa because they're crazy. Right so Graham and grandpa are crazy, so you don't think about listening to them and their life's experience No, no, no and instead everybody keeps stumbling over their tie Because they don't know exactly how to tie it. They don't really don't understand or do they don't want to relate? These are things that have to change we're going to have to start stepping away from the public fool system and re-learning, again, what was traditional knowledge in America across the board. And like I said, different era where man had to operate within the seasons, then you have a very different process. You have to pay more attention when you know that what you got is all you've got. We didn't command the environment with counter energy or counter power to get the job done. We actually had to work what we had that nature provided. So, again, work to do. The reason I bring this up also is with all the storms, obviously, because we have had a number of tornado strikes just in the last day, two days. Interestingly enough, and I don't know why everybody thought this was going to happen, everybody was being beefed up with the idea that, well, you see all those storms in Wisconsin? They're just going to run right across Lake Michigan and hit Michigan. Guys, we've talked about this for many years, decades now, about the whole idea of how the trade wins, something that you just brought up a minute ago, caller, but the trade wins operate, and in the Great Lakes, they're even more dynamic than on the Great Oceans. Just something to think about there. They are more dynamic, much more dynamic, and in fact, It's fascinating when you take a look at the cycles for the Great Lakes as opposed to the weather cycles for the rest of the country because we have a micro cycle system here that has long term and very dynamic effects against the rest of the nation especially starting with the Midwest and working right down the St. Lawrence Seaway affecting the East Coast. So, everything interlocks, but there are micro mechanisms, and we're in the middle of that. So, never have I seen a weather front come across Wisconsin. The only kind of weather front that survives that type of action are moisture slash high low, mass high low fronts colliding with each other and creating snow, typically during the cold season. Obviously, we don't get snow in the middle of the summer. But the dynamic compression type activities when they hit a water course it typically and dramatically alters the energy of that front and Lake Michigan is like one big stinking wall. So no, the storms are over there in Wisconsin, which are unlikely to make the jump. In fact, let me point something out. We just had a whole bunch of storms here. in southern Michigan. How did they hit us? How did those storms approach us? Anybody notice? And it's a natural cycle. The lake itself creates a deflective barrier. So we have the great wind that comes down from Lake Michigan to Chicago and the fronts that move along the eastern end of Wisconsin. And they strike a cross thermal or a cross barrier that pushes all of that up and into the bottom of the state of Michigan. on typically about a 45 degree angle. Now why is that? Well, because of those other big bodies of water that create all of the other conditions that we were just talking about in similar fashion. So what's interesting about this is everybody should know this. We've lived in this state all of our lives. And yet it's like everybody's gone into catatonic brain fart and absolutely has no clue about the idea that the Great Lakes were over there. They're just discovering it but only as a passing prop in what otherwise is a fabricated database that is irrelevant. And in fact, as I said, last three storm mechanisms that we've had, it's almost as if they've got some twit that's a Crayola grade shoe size IQ knit with coming up with the public announcements for these storms, which in no way, shape or form, produce the result that they pre-announced to create crisis. Now I don't have a problem with people getting ready. So I guess maybe if this is what will motivate people to pull their head out of their fundamental orifice and actually get ready for something, that'd be great. But instead, it's the short term for the end of your nose drama queens that are the problem. As opposed to the rest of us who are kind of thinking, you know, let's just say the long haul. Which is how you should be thinking certainly we have the first term threat then we have the mid issues and we have the long the long goals we need to be Engineering accordingly, but as far as confidence in the what are the weathermen noticing the same meteorologists there they aren't The weather system and the socialists that are running it for the sake of creating panic are no different from the hacks we have in the medical industry that are absolutely in the toilet bars and I'm concerned with regard to integrity. And needless to say, the police state, you can't trust them at all. So we're going right down the shopping list of all these quote unquote, yuck, yuck, yuck institutions. I figure we got to take care of this on our own. There isn't any of them that isn't now chock full of brain dead politically correct dumb as a box of rocks shoe size IQ fools that are a satanic pedo queers. If you are a satanic pedo queer, you're not gonna get hired. And every aspect of this is for the sake of trying to desperately manipulate the population into crises. Now, while we understand it, I'm just getting you ready for war. The conflict is inevitable because of the problem that I just mentioned and that many people are seeing through the BS that's being generated. Most important, and again, ammunition isn't the only thing that you need, but it is weapons Wednesday, so I cannot emphasize enough that A, short term is loaded ammunition. Second tier is reloading. Third tier is reloading, but with light manufacturing. Fourth tier is full small production manufacturing across a broad area of activity all over the state, all over the Midwest, all over the United States. And for this reason, step two or phase two, guys, whatever weapons you presently possess. Get a set of dyes. They do not have to be brand new They don't have to be the best dyes in terms of the you know carbide or any special, you know upper-end metals Because there are some other new dyes. There are some titanium dyes out there if you can afford them probably can't you know titanium No titanium. It's titanium. No, I tidy them anyway titanium tomato, you know potato tomato As it is, the higher metal ones are typically a lot more expensive. And with the devaluation of your currency, they're even more, a lot more expensive. So you're better off with a set of standard carbon, regular steel or stainless, some stainless. RCBS or lead dyes to at least have the dyes on the shelf. Now, here's the most important thing to remember. Pistol calibers are very which is a non-abusive. And it's difficult for them to wear out because most pistol calibers are straight tube. The other cool thing is that you have, again, if you properly adjust your dies, do a little research, do some reading, when you get your loading system together, you all understand what I'm talking about. Remember that you do not have to full case resize if you line up your ammunition that you've recovered the cases. with the weapon you shot them out of. This in turn reduces specific long term wear on the dies because you can do basically what is a throat or throat and shoulder die depending on what type of case that you are putting together, what you're reassembling. Now, example of a couple things, first of all in dies, I highly recommend you get a 9mm die no matter what. At some point, if you don't have a nine millimeter, you're gonna have a nine millimeter, okay? But another thing to consider here is, what are you gonna do to make money when things go to hell in a hand cart? What can you do with things that people would be interested? Well, you bring in empties, you get reloaded. You bring in so many empties, you get reloaded. You get reloaded ammunition, congratulations. So you see, the thing is that there'll be a whole market that can be developed, recovering bullets, recovering spent cases. bringing stuff in like milk bottles. It'll scour the landscape is what will happen. If anybody knows where there's been fighting or a firefight, scavengers very quickly will learn that recovering spent cases will become an industry unto itself, will become a marketable process. For you, 9 millimeter, this sounds weird, but it's not. 357 Magnum as opposed to 38, although I have tons of 38 special dies. Why a 3.57 Magnum die and not a 38 mark? Well you can get a 3.38. If you can find them, I just rented somebody yard sale for $8 a set and there are CBS dies. It was a giveaway price and they're in excellent condition. It's just a person didn't have a 38, etc. And they're a machine tool, okay? But fascinating is though that remember if you have a 3.57 die you can load 38 special all day. Because what's the difference between 38 special and 357 Magnum? About an eighth of an inch. You can dial down a 357 Magnum die to do 38 special, which means you can cover two cases with two size chambers with one die. Now, ideally you want to use one for 357, have another one for 38, but most of you do not have that kind of money. So do the 357 and then do a little research and you'll understand what I'm talking about. Or do a little research first, then go look to see what it is you can procure. Another thing is in rifle, 30 out 6. Well Mark, I don't have a 30 out 6. Yes, but 30 out 6 is going to be one of those very marketable calibers. Too many weapons out there. Of course, a lot of people do have an out 6, typically do reload. At least this day and age they do. In the past, they just used to buy off the shelf and buy surplus. It's not out there like it used to be 5 5 6 obviously if you have an AK some 62 by 39 if you have a 5 4 5 You know a K 74 better get a set of dies for that Anything that you're commonly shooting you should at least have one set of dies now you figure out what it is You've got I'm not gonna write can't micromanage that from this end, but the next thing is bullet molds Now I mentioned 357 Magnum, I mentioned 9 millimeter. There's also a bunch of other rounds out there like 9 millimeter Largo. Let's see 380 of course, you can take your pick of any number of other 9 millimeter type or close to cases. Lead projectiles are pretty forgiving. Depending upon what die you choose or forgive me what bullet mold you choose, not die. The big thing here again is 125 grain 9 millimeter dye would be a first choice if you are limited in resources. Why? Well, because I can download or upload that 9 millimeter, that 125 grain projectile and use it in most everything I've been talking about here. Everything from 357 Magnum to 38 Super. to again 38 Smith and Wesson if I have to. That's a short round and it's a little bigger diameter, but I can make that bullet work. So that base bullet, 125 grain is in the middle. You'd prefer 148 for a volver or 158 for a volver, but guess what? You can live with that 125 round and push it all day. It's going to be a little hotter. You're going to dial back your powder and you've got a pretty decent, you know, intermediate round to use to keep your weapons functioning because most important here is you got to be able to keep things fed. In bullet molds for everything else, 30 caliber, obviously something in about 148, 150 grain, 160 would work too. In addition to that, needless to say, don't forget a 556 projectile builder. In this case, well, immediately everybody goes led for a 556. Well, okay, here again, there are a number of tricks that can be used. And while you can use stick lead and a bullet swage to make a 55 grain spitzer bullet out of a 22 case. What's really cool is if you have a bullet mold, you take the bullet mold, use it. And rather than trying to find solder stick, which is gonna become harder and harder and harder to find, for doing the 556 jackets with your own material, use the bullet die, cast it properly, take and round up your 22 caliber empty rimfire cases, insert that into the mold, insert that projectile which is already almost a speck. And when you run it through the bullet swage, there'll be less resistance. You will find it easier to construct the brass jacketed 55 grain spitcher. And you still trim and clean the way you would with the other specification utilizing the lead stick. The difference is, lot less that will farting because you've constructed the primary component, the core, in advance of putting the two parts together. See how that works? And by the way, if you don't know what I'm talking about, you can take 22 caliber rimfire cases and make 55 grain or 50 grain spitzer jackaded projectiles that will load up just fine and go down range just fine and print acceptably in a AR-15, Mini-14, etc. Or 8K, take a pic, whatever it is, it runs 5.56. So there are solutions taking all the junk. This is why there is no such thing as junk in the reloading sphere. Everything that has been made can be remade or can be repurposed to make things work. Now I will emphasize this at this point. We're at the bottom of the hour, so I'm gonna emphasize something else. Ed, we're at the bottom of the hour. You're listening to us on 6.160, regular shortwave. In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not the singing of the view, the wild and free. Well, soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree. Oh, the rifle, or the rifle, in our hands, the proof, no dry phone. You may ride a good lady, you may not stir the master You forward march with speed, but you'll learn the back much faster When you meet our mountain boys and their leader journey's start Glad you make what little noise you always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands, we'll prove no strife No graves at home, back across the brine of water. A jitty must come, like well, up to the floor. But a sweet job must do, and the sooner it is begun. If Clinton's figure holds a buck through, the quicker it will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no to rifle. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no to rifle. it is weapons Wednesday, your mind is your first best weapon. But if you don't back it up with ass and make sure that you're able to cover and defend what it is that you possess, your head's gonna be turned into a canoe, all that working knowledge will be gone. Doesn't mean it can't happen anyway. Fickle finger of fate is a terrible thing. But if we make the effort to actually physically defend ourselves, rather than trying to just shout stop, or I'll shout stop again. Well, amazingly enough, you might be quite successful at protecting both your life and those of your loved ones by engaging the enemy effectively and eliminating the threat before it becomes too much of a threat. Again, engage and destroy. Now, real quick here, it is, of course, the middle of the week. We're headed into the weekend. This is going to be a very busy weekend for Colonial Marine Militia, also for Mission Militia at Large, New Wolverines. We also have this large, both radio communications, FTX is taking place on Saturday, and that'll be around Robbins, going around the lakes, go around the whole perimeter of the glove, the Mitten, Lower Mitten, Lower Peninsula, across the upper, over to Wisconsin, and they may be including a leg going down the east coast, or I should say the Wisconsin coast, forgive me, the west coast of Lake Michigan. So I don't know what's gonna happen there yet, but I think they've got all the dots connected and so this is gonna be a lot of fun. Also, we are gonna be up at New Fort Benning, Michigan. Got a bunch of signage that we finished and a whole bunch of other road control and traffic control. Very apropos for the Fort Benning, Michigan. And it's going to be very squared away. Everybody's getting into this, they're having a lot of fun. And so if the bad guys want to get rid of commemorative names like that, guess what? We'll pick them up in a heartbeat and piss out those idiots on the other side. Dump the box of rocks and worthless turds. So in addition to the radio FTX, we have a drive and train exercise coming up to on Saturday and Sunday, 18th, regimental combat team, the training group. will be in northern Ohio this weekend and they are going to be demonstrating the varied pieces of equipment. We'll have samples, not the entire squadron, but we will have, or they're two squadrons. Not everybody, but a good chunk, so it'll be an interesting event. We'll see how that develops. and everybody's going to get a chance to do a walk through and they will be teaching people how to use the equipment. Now, the Saracen is not a big deal to be quite honest. It's a cool looking vehicle, but Kaiser Saracen has a conventional steering wheel. It is actually a very user-friendly piece of equipment and you're going to see at least two of those this weekend, part of the gaggle that we've collected over the years, quite a few of them actually. Cherry picked them from all over the United States and quite a few here that were bought actually from Northern Indiana. Our source for the lot of the armored vehicles in the 90s, late 80s and 90s, were out of Northern Indiana. There were two sources, the gentlemen were importers, brought a ton of equipment in. We took advantage of it and all the guys, the prices, I'll remind you and I go, yeah, some good old days, don't remind me. Back in the day, we were buying ferret armored cars for seven and $800 a piece. Yeah, I know it's that same ferret you can go over to eBay. I just looked last night, somebody had one up there for $47,000. Doesn't look any better than the vehicles that we bought for, in fact, it is the same vehicles bought from the same provider. Low end was about $6,700 down at Knob Creek. Guys would bring them down and put them out on the block, so to speak, park them behind the pavilion. People come in and peruse them, drive them home. Well, ideally trail to the meat, you could drive them home. They're totally street legal. They're actually a very interesting vehicle. The ferret, the Saracen, the Saladin, the stalwart are all part of the same family of what would be both light and heavy reconnaissance equipment developed for the British Army. These are highly automotive vehicles. The comparable counterpart really for in terms of performance is the Gavin M113 track vehicle on our side of the water. But we have the lion's share of the Saracens that have been laying around I don't think we're gonna see too many more poke out unless somebody gets either dies you know in other words passes away and the family doesn't care about them because people collect these things and We've upgraded them In addition to better onboard internal armor, especially Kevlar blankets, etc. The vehicles have been upgraded in a number of different ways to the later models. We had a couple of sources for parts inventory, so everybody's pretty happy with what we came up with and with solutions. The big thing here again is you get a chance to peek under the hood, take it down the road, not very far, but we're gonna try to get as many people behind the steering wheel as we can this weekend. So that is another one of the many training exercises. It's a high priority now. In addition to that, we are looking at a build program for medical kits. We're going to do a massive quantity of IFAX. We are going to do a very large quantity. I think I can almost say I just doubled the numbers with the information I got in between the programs here. But we're going to do a mid-level doc kit that's designed as a primary kit for our field medics, but also We also have a trauma surgery kit we're putting together, a lot of stuff coming from ShopMedVet.com and other sources. ShopMedVet.com. ShopMedVet.com. ShopMedVet.com. They're not the only place out there, but they have some pretty good prices. They're a good source. You should check them out. If you don't know about them, go find out. Just that simple. But we're going to also be doing burn kits, and we will be doing a number of specialized kits for orthopedic and also surgery, advanced surgery units. This date is coming up next, in the middle of next month, so we're going to be giving everybody a heads up that you may want to acquire additional iFAC kits, empty ones, empty iFAC pouch with the iFAC insert. All the materials to load them are already in hand. And what we're gonna do is have everybody come in, we're gonna do like a chow line. There will be a supervisor for each of the components, more than one actually. And anybody who has their IFAC pouches, if you have your, in fact, we do have some pouches that will be available. But don't count on us having enough so you can come in and just buy a bunch and leave. It's not gonna happen. So plan in advance, those who are listening that are familiar with the program, this is something that's already been settled. There'll be more resources coming in. We have additional compresses to supplement what we already have stacked up for this project. And if anybody has any connections for any other unique medical items in that category, pass it on to me at liberty at provide.net. libertyatprovide.net. That's my email libertyatprovide.net. Drop me an email if you've got a source that you've run into. Anything, I don't care what it is. It don't think it's gonna be a bother for me. If I see something and you provide something, I always peruse all the other corners of that site. And amazingly enough, we've always found more than meets the eye. So please, if you've got a location, medical surplus store, there's a bunch of stuff down in Tennessee and Kentucky, places I've never been to, and they're extensive. A lot of those places were sucking off of the Fort Bragg inventory of material that was coming out through the PDOs there, property disposition offices. And there's a ton of stuff out there. Back before they switched the system, we purchased a large quantity of advanced trauma surgery kits, trauma surgery instrument packs, pre-sterilized, up to 280 instruments, everything necessary for doing anything up to heart surgery. Actually, they are designated for particular tasks. But the prep nurse would obviously pick out what you need for the doctor, have everything, identify the checklist, go through it, and so they could cultivate from a larger inventory anything they needed for a lesser surgery. Just heads up on that. So there's a lot of stuff out there. Yes, we are interested in. One of the other things I do need help with is we're trying to acquire more stretchers, more especially of the collapsible backpack type that were made for Desert Dust Part 2, the adventure continues. There's a number of British, French, and Belgian models, and some American that are out there. And we're looking for any of those. Again, the medical units that we're building and the other people that are out there that are in other states, if we help each other out, guys, we run into stuff. We're also interested in ambulances, not as an ambulance. Now let me point this out. A military evac ambulance is a bare bones vehicle. If you want to go check out, go through Google, go to a search on US Army Ambulance, the M750, it's not the M750, it's got another designation, but it's in the M7 something, okay, or the M880 variant or the CUCV variant. The box on the back is designed to hold a number of litters or seated patients to evacuate them from the area. The ambulances that we are trying to find, and you need to be looking for too, please help us. We're looking for cheapest for the mostest. Southern vehicles don't have rust. Guys, Michigan, most people, even when we tell you about this, I've had people gasp. When they see what the Michigan truck what a Michigan truck looks like if it's lived on a Michigan road net Because it does look like aliens acid for blood dude. I've got a beautiful 1500 pickup truck I'm the second owner, but it looks like somebody and they did soaked it in salt why well the bottom is crinkling off Sadly enough. It's a beautiful truck. It has no mileage. It's a bit. I got it cheap But it's the idea that vehicles in other states, we could take that ambulance and what we will do is turn it into a forward mobile aid station. And it will remain mobile so that we can evac from an area or move or again be fluid in a battlefield situation or a crisis situation where we need to provide support. So the medics, the dock, is going to be assigned towards that forward mobile ambulance unit, which will be reconfigured as a forward aid station rather than as an ambulance transport system. Other vehicles will be assigned and attached, and we're already doing this for several of the churches, more than, in fact, we just gained several this week. This is a cool project because everybody can wrap their brain around it, and everybody knows we're going to war. So people have no problem connecting on this project. But the idea is that other support vehicles provide the ambulance and transport capability. And in the process provide supply and support and stowage for other perishables or equipment that will be needed in force. Now, everybody goes, this is really down our conversation. Really, this government's talking about trying to go to war with the other big nuclear power on the planet. bunch of sycophant Jewish fruit loop nutcases. You got all of these Jewish tanks. Yap and how they want World War III. Well, World War III if everything kicks in, means that we're gonna be fighting the Russians across the Bering Straits. So very quickly you are, wait a minute, no, you're talking Ukraine, guys. Go find a map of Russia. You think we're just gonna be fighting the Russians in the Ukraine? Are you that? Nobody here listening is that stupid, I know you're not. Because we face off against Russian real estate with American soil every day and have for 100 plus more 100 more than 100 years. This is your 2024. So you think it's going to be contained there? No, it's not. And do you think that either side is going to give ground? Well, if they do if they agree to a gentleman's nuclear exchange, what do you think that's going to do to the target areas? No matter what, the medical system will be overwhelmed instantly. Which means that all in your area of operation even though you may not be nuked. They're gonna know component pinnuke podunk Schmidlatt Berg No, but the other areas that are affected are going to just like you see with any other wartime environment situation They're gonna suck resources and personnel out of the area very very quickly So what you have is all you have Also, it's very likely you may be near what is a targeted area. You're gonna get, pardon the pun, but you're gonna get bleed out in terms of casualties from the area. You're going to have to deal with that. So we're not gonna sit in our hands. We know FEMA only has a bullet for you. FEMA is the most worthless, wretched, ill-gotten, a whore, prostitute operation you could imagine. They perceive you as the enemy. They in no way, shape or form are organized to preserve life, but rather to manipulate and control. They will blow up things, they will burn things, they will steal things. They are criminals slash thieves with a government uniform, okay? Go ahead, call or ship in there. I've been seeing and hearing a lot. Have you heard anything about the DNR? About- FEMA going right straight to the DNR to avoid going through our share of things when they declare martial law. Have you heard anything about that at all? They tried to do this. Okay, now think back, Tom. You might remember we had a few gentlemen who stepped forward from the DNR and told everybody about the basic plan 26 years ago. Interestingly enough, there were a series of in-house meetings, first time ever all the DNR was brought together in Lansing. And that was the discussion was that they were gonna be the enforcers to support the federal slash FEMA agenda and, needless to say, UN agenda against the Michigan population. And they went to several states to do this. Now, what's interesting is some of the whistleblowers or individuals who are some of the most heavily awarded members of the DNR who were pro-constitutionalist. Of course, if you're with the DNR, you're talking about being pro-constitutionalist, everybody had a problem with that. Damn near Russian, as we say here in Michigan, DNR, damn near Russian, okay? But the Russians are better people now. So anyway, yes, it makes sense that that's what they will be doing. All of these entities, especially those who are used to abusing property rights and power, will be brought in and given little potentate areas of control. They could be given a pat on the head, a squeeze on the ass, and a special, you know, ligate, slash, an order. And they believe that they're going to be able to get away with murder. I don't doubt that. I mean, seriously, they already have that mindset. Anybody who's ever watched the DNR in motion? Mark Baker, Baker's Green Acres. Guys, they got caught on the ground while Mr. Baker was away from his property in the middle of winter by a neighbor. Neighbor didn't tell Mark until how long afterwards. What were they doing? They went in with snowmobiles through the back part of the property to his house. They're inside the barns, you're going through the buildings, they may have even been in the house. That's the kind of communist you're dealing with right now. That's how they are right now. What do you think you're gonna be like with these pukes, these globalists make their move on America? So, you better count on the DNR betraying the American people, Michigan, beyond the shadow of a doubt. Look at the pieces of trash did during the Corona Beer Virus garbage. Combat tactical gear prepared to fight the fishermen who were going to the dam, remember that? We're ready to kill you. How dare you come out and think you're gonna fish in the middle of nowhere. The Corona Beer Virus threat is out there. No, it's not. There was no threat out there, but you know what? They were more than happy to go crazy town Fruit Loop and it was the DNR along with the Michigan State Police and those prostitutes, they jumped right into it. So yes, expect the DNR to be part, in fact, it should be a given. That would be a natural part of the betrayal formula because of the very nature of the creatures that are hired for that mechanism in the first place. So, thank you for bringing it up, Tom, appreciate that. But if you've been hearing more about, I do not doubt it, I would say that it is not more likely, it is almost guaranteed that that will be the situation. So, we all need to be prepared accordingly. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. Real quick. I sent you an email at about 653 yesterday and it's dealing with the staking of the bulk terrier key bolts. Yes. And if you'll take a look at that, you can probably discuss it tomorrow with the guys. I've been trying to get on all day, but different topics have arisen. If you could discuss it with them tomorrow, it would be very helpful that they take a look at their AR bolt carrier keys. Absolutely. Thank you. Yes, I did get that. Oh, okay. Thank you for jogging my memory on that too, because I look great. It was one of the things I actually was going to touch on tonight. Don't worry. We own the network. We can come back tomorrow. And we will. Excuse me, for everybody out there guys, stay focused. It's not if they're going to try to attack, it's when you've heard enough, we've played enough. There's enough dots and pieces from different directions. That's pretty stinking obvious what the plan is. The important thing is for us to keep our heads, be prepared to fight. If you fight, fight to win. And again, focus on the eradication of the aggressor. They plan on coming to kill you in your home. Well, we'll accommodate by making sure that they're dead in the front yard, dead down the street. And by the way, we'll chase them back wherever they ran to. Make sure they're a lot deader there also. All of you need to be prepared for what it is the globalists have in mind. And we need to be organized accordingly. God bless the republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire. South of Iran. and we are on the mark of day and night. If not, do not cast your pearls before swine. Your time is priceless right now. Accomplish the task. You need to be a con homeless. God bless. Getting out of the way. Ed's taking over. We'll be back tomorrow. Same time and thanks. WBCQ 6.160. Regular shortwave. Bye bye.
