were torn and dirty as he stood there in my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, speaking low to me, he said. We fought a revolution to cure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution to shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the life 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, 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's number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country deep. in death, put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free and home of the brave? There we go. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the... First hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Carkey. One day closer victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, north, south, and west. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we're on satellite. We'll say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. No matter what body of water you are traveling out at this time or listening while you're just sitting there, we understand that we are on virtually every body of water on the planet, one planet or another, and a lot inland locations too through this network. And on satellite, it is both analog and digital technology that's being used. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is. Well, it's Wednesday. So soon. Yes, so soon. I've been working on electrical all day. Well, that and the hardware. Vehicles need to be rewired. They're old armored pieces of equipment we're upgrading. More on that in a minute. Anyway, it's the 28th of August. It is the 16th year of open, obvious, and in your face. Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist. Occupation of America with a K. 2024, Old Earth Calendar, 2024, Battle for the Republic, Book 1. the dance of sorts. And again, been a beautiful, been a perfect hot day. My God, we're all gonna die. It's the end of the world. We've never seen anything like this before. Nobody has ever seen a hot day in August, in Michigan, in my entire life or the lives of any other human being who possibly could have existed or lived on this planet. There is no possible way that the temperatures we are seeing right now. could possibly even be more by either whites or even the Native American tribe who had adapted to the wild natural environments and were even so adapted that they no longer needed to defecate. I watched answers with wolves. White men poop. Indians do not. Always remember that. White men poop. Indians do not. Okay? But it's because they've mastered the sun and the heat and the cold and the rain and the wind and the... Ah, BS! Anyway, you know what, I'm getting tired of this after a while. It's like I'm 66. And for as far back as I can remember, waiting for them dog names to August meant that we were heading for the pool, the pond, the lake, or the river, whichever we could get to first. And you would have to grab us thrashing, kicking, and screaming out of the water. Why? Because the weather was just like this. I get so tired of whoosy, hind and limp, devious, willy rats that are trying to drag the rest of us down. Please, next time somebody goes, oh my god, we never said hit him. It's kind of like being William Holden on the near side of the river when the young kid is getting ready to blow up the bridge on the River Kwai. And he's like, he holds up his Bennett, kill him. Yeah, well, that's how I feel with all the rest of these twits nowadays. Just smack them. Heck, um, you have to hit the twit. Stupid people like this should in no way, shape, or form have any part in our society whatsoever. Aren't you tired of these stupid people? I know I am. You know, August was blah for, I mean, today's the 28th. We've had two, three days of, oh my God, it's really hot. We made the map with blood red. It's blood red in Michigan. Anybody notice this bullshit with a propaganda? All the rest of the country's cool, but Michigan and the Midwest, all of a sudden we turned red. Well, first we were like yellow. It's how many edges yellow. Then it's orange. It's dark orange and it's red and then it's blood red. a skype bleeding. Well, I don't think the sky is bleeding, but it's decided to k-royce a small-minded pea-brain roided up. Yeah, well, also Prozac, well, yeah, also Riddle and Dupp Idiot sticks, who will pretty well buy anything that some ring-knock-and-spit-swap-and-shoe-side-ikey fool puts out in the media. This is how it is. That's exactly what you're seeing right now. I am disgusted with this garbage. We have had one of the... In fact, you know what I was waiting for? I'm serious about this. Up until the normal weather we just had with this really hot spell... I was waiting for the B-Witches to tell you about how global warming cooling made this one of the coolest Augusts in history. And it's an example of why we're all going to die next year because Greta Funk, Funk, Funk chicken, you know, the P-brained idiot stick along with all the pushers that are behind that with, including the rest of the Jewish mob. It would tell you all about how, see, look, it didn't get warm at all in August. Global cooling, warming, global warming, cooling, we're doomed. So instead we got, what, two, three days of real August because it's a 28th. So we might get, okay well officially we'll probably get, however many days we'll have in August we get that. And then August is done and then we get hot September. Well we always get a warm September or rolling over, you know, the beginning of September and you're going, oh man, maybe this will last a little longer, maybe this will last a little longer. And then in Michigan here, oh it goes into the toilet and it's like, ahhhh, it's cold. All of a sudden everybody who's whining about it being hot will then be whining about it being cold, okay? Those people are really a part of it. It's like, this is Michigan. If you didn't like this weather, you should be leaving sooner rather than later. Take your little commierest California or something, they need you. California needs more wheezy, whiny, piss-willy, incompetent, non-productive fools. That's what it needs. And then when we fight it, it'll be that much easier to take it back. And then we kick them all out and send them to, I don't know, nobody will want them. I've seen that as a big problem with deporting these fools. Canada's not gonna want them. Canada's gonna try and shoot its way out of whatever it's got going on when we shoot our way about what's going on. Does everybody understand? And then, Canada's a breath away. The only reason either side is not kicked off yet is because, well, if the patriots in Canada started on their own, Americans probably would have to kick in because otherwise the communists and the Jewish mob and the ring knocking, spit swapping slobs like you see that just tried to, you know, murder Trump. would be up there helping to kill Canadians. Now on the other hand, the Canadians have already got an agreement to help come down and kill us. So, in the military, they're governments. So understand that we're all in this together as far as the patriots of Canada and the patriots of Michigan and the United States. We're all in this together. But when it's all done, hope we aren't going to keep any of these jackasses around, are we? No, and we're not going to, we're not them. So, Remember, at the end of the American War for Independence, we had a 90-day window in which all of the Tories were to get to the border. They would get ported one way or another. They were kicked out of all the communities. They were all known. They've been eight years worth of fighting. And the Tories were all shot down the road to Canada, the Caribbean or back to England, and or other British holdings spread across the globe, like, you know, for instance, Australia. Which up until that point had been a penal colony. Oh wow, that would have been fun. So anyway, well, yes it is. It's a penal colony again. Australia is in the toilet just like New Zealand, just like Canada, just like England. The only reason we're not as far around the corner as there is because we still have all our weapons and we will shoot their asses right out of their shoes. And we are going to anyway. They're not going to let go of power. Come on people, that's just not going to happen. What gets me is all the bullshitter slash the liars that we got cropping up like Tulsi Gabbard. And yes, I know. This time I got her name right. I don't believe a word she says. She's a plastic Soviet officer. She's in the military. I guarantee she was an absolute goose stepper to whatever the regime demanded and still does. Otherwise, she wouldn't have the rank. So the bottom line is that this character who's in the present Soviet military because it is a Soviet slash queer the three dollar bill satanic pedo military She goes to a bunch of shooting ranges acts like she's tacky cool and all of a sudden Oh look Tossie Gabbard she's changed. She hasn't changed at all. You know if she Practices it using guns and so when given the opportunity she pitch right in to help confiscate the guns She'd put a gun to America's head, kill your children in a heartbeat, butcher your wife, and laugh and cackle about it with all the rest of the buds down at the mill bar afterwards after they'd been doing house-to-house confiscation of guns. That's what Tulsi Gabbard would be. She's playing the rubes, just like all the rest of these jackasses are playing the rubes. So make no mistake about it. In fact, having that thing in our ranks means that you better keep your back to each other, the people you do know, and you better keep back to the wall if you're by yourself. Because these characters like that coming in, they will give them the opportunity. Well, they're just gonna, we just have to acquiesce and give halfway. This is how the kosher commies And again, the ones running Trump figured they're going to get us to surrender a whole bunch of our rights because we're going to be reasonable. How can they, they got to convince you to be stupid. Slash, you just got to come halfway. 30 years worth of, and in fact, 40 going on, 50 years worth of that bullshit, that BS, that excrement. You know what that got? Us on the edge of becoming communist people. You do understand that, right? So the whole idea now, oh we're going to compromise and we're going to be, and because we've got to try and bring all these other people in. Why? All these other people that were out don't like us. Well they don't like those other people more. No, that's not true either. They don't like them and they don't like us. But they realize they can't use them, so they figure they're going to use us. Does everybody understand this? It's even like Trump. Trump is a New York, I might as well say California, is a New York liberal. And again, who is his allegiance to? Oh, he's already said he's going to lick the Israeli bung hole so deep his ears will be brown. They aren't already, but they're kind of orange, so you only notice because it looks like his hair is darkening a little bit, especially around the sideburns. It'll be cool. Even if he has feces in his ears, it looks like his natural hair color, so maybe he didn't trim his ears out this week. I don't know. So, I get to pay attention. Go ahead, call her, jump in there please. It's between the Republicans and the Communist Party? Well, it's like we said, there isn't any. Right now, what we have, the Democrats have become open banner Soviet. The Republicans rats, in fact, again, even with the fake ass speaker that we have right now, everybody's talking about this assassination attempt on Trump. Well, the people who just did an independent committee are the people who should be running the committee, but they're not. And a bunch of typical, let's just say Gerald Ford types, you know, kind of like when they put Gerald Ford and a number of certain people on the Warren Commission. Anybody remember why it was perfectly safe to make Gerald Ford Nixon's VP to follow through on whatever orders were given to him by the Ringknockers because he'd been doing it for decades. He lied and helped Spinkter with the magic bullet theory, remember? And everybody laughed in the room on that one. I mean, they did. They really did. But there isn't really any difference in lion's share. There's a few people that are making noise, but when it comes back to all of the core problems, they just keep rubber stamping the same things that have dragged us right to Soviet socialism. No, the ones are pinkish, okay? They're kind of pink lighting, not really red, they're pink. But not really all that pink. They're a pretty dark shade of pink and head and over end. And of course you even have the yellow trim, so red and yellow being what it is. I think the biggest problem we've got here is that at the local level, there may be some that aren't. Most of the population, well, still, a big chunk of the population wants something for free. No matter what they say, the Democrats want all this stuff. What you're worried about is they got your stuff. How is it we're getting the black vote right now? Well, here's how we call the, supposedly the black vote had an epiphany. The black population under the welfare state has received massive billions and billions and billions of dollars. And this money has been poured into unsuccessful operations in which, for instance, Detroit, probably the best example, is half the size it was when all of these projects started. Most of the city has been burned down. Now it's all vacant lots. If you try to build in there, you've got shoe-sized IQP brains that are wicked and sly enough to be able to work the system for the sake of milking it for money. but don't want anything changed where the word work applies. And or where things would, you know, for instance, organized crime could be made to disappear, but it means you have to take back real estate. So what we got is basically, oh, Trump's gonna make things right by getting rid of all the people who got jumped in line cuz they'll get up earlier in the morning to go get the free stuff. Anybody, you really do understand that is the argument right now, right? Well, all the people in Chicago, they were supposed to get the free stuff because they're already here. Okay? And a whole bunch of new people stood up and they get up at 6 o'clock and stand in the line because where they came from they stood in the line for 6 hours. And they got the free stuff and by the time the other people got up at 11 or noon or 1 o'clock in the afternoon to go get the free stuff, it was gone. How dare they? By the way, they interrupted my video game too on top of everything else. You know, Grand Theft Auto 26, whatever. So think about it. Okay, so what's the alliance here? How far is this going to go? If they don't get enough free stuff after this, then they're going to be whining, pissing, and moaning almost immediately. There isn't any free stuff left to hand out. Well, I mean, they can, but the only way they can do it, they've got to come with guns. steal my stuff, steal all your stuff out there listening, and give it to the other people who don't deserve it, did nothing for it. Oh, and by the way, they're already doing that with the illegal aliens. They just want, and they have been doing it with the welfare state for a very long time. It's just now there's competition between those two and both of them are fighting over what they're going to steal from our wallet. But those are our new allies. Go ahead, jump in there. I'm excited. I noticed. I was One of the things that I noticed, because I was just flipping through videos today a little bit, and I noticed that they were already promoting or banging the gong about how they're going to be bread lines. They're trying to blame it on Harris, but it's not Harris. It's both sides. It's all the stuff about making everybody poor, just like they did in World War II, World War I. It's kind of like that scenario that they're trying to push. You're not talking about war, they're just talking about how there are going to be bread lines and how terrible it's going to be. I don't know that they really want to talk about war, but I think that's what they have in mind. I don't think they care if it's domestic or not, but I think that's what's going to happen. I think the domestic they prefer not, but they'll go with. A foreign conflict is much more desirable because the farther you can get the men or patriot types away from the country to murder them, to get them killed in incompetent actions by individuals who will sacrifice those troops, sacrifices, always on their lips, sacrifice. But having them overseas, it's less likely that they'll survive, A, the combat, B, if they're taken prisoner. Although I would say that the Russians, because they're not communists anymore, are far more humane with prisoners than our side is, and far more humane with prisoners than the Israelis. And since the Jewish mob are going to be the commissars running our military, which they already are, they're going to be the political officers of the Communist Party. They shot, executed, and murdered thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, and then tens of millions. Whether they were in uniform or not. So, I don't see anything changing with the Jewish mob. The Jewish mob is going to be cracking the whip first. Of course, you get all these stupefied people. They're standing there with their hand out. They won't get up off their dead ass. They have no work ethic. I'm not just talking... Do you think I'm just talking to black people? This whole system is what has been set up now with the public fool system, the way it is. But all these characters will not get up off their dead ass 90% of the time and do anything. That's the ones that are not in our camp. And remember, that's a big burden on you, on all of you. And it's what's been dragging the country down on top of everything else. The education system just flat out needs to be flushed. Its sole purpose is to consume time. There is no educating going on or this, despite what they say, and by the way, on that note, public education. This is something we used to, we've talked about for most of the 30 years we've been on the air. and we're very familiar with before doing any radio. And what gets me about that is, again, for people to say that, well, it's never been about really teaching people. It's about giving everybody just enough skill to do whatever. Well, that's not true. In fact, all I have to do is compare notes from different educational eras. At the time when my grandfather was growing up, most people could not pass today. class, the, you know, the, for instance, the final exam slash pass exam to go from junior high to high school. We're not talking from high school to college. Most Americans could not. A junior high final graduation exam to go to high school. today. I know this because I've tested. I've taken the Oklahoma grade school, actually junior high school graduation exam, to qualify for high school. What I did is I made a computer-generated version and I would give it to all of the college students that I had working for me, or randomly. I just randomly said, hey, you want to help me with something? I've got a little survey here. I want you to take this test. And okay, no problem. They'd be at the desk working. They're bored. They start, you know, they, oh, I can do this. And so there you go. And I'm waiting. And they literally couldn't answer. And by the way, this is, this is year 2024. We're talking 30 years ago. Thirty, three decades ago. What do you think it's like now? Think about that. What do you think it's like now? Hey, Mark. And again, what's fascinating is my grandfather could pass that test. My dad could pass that test and supposedly with eventually only what an eighth quote-unquote an eighth grade education and my dad was the oldest during the depression he ended up Not going for any farther to school and he went out to work Why because there were seven other kids at home dad was working his ass off My mom was taking care of grandma was taking care of the kids and the oldest could actually work So he went out and worked. Why? Because they were desperately in need of every piece of scratch they could get. And one of the first jobs he did was milking cows. What did he get paid for milking a whole herd of cows? One pail of milk in the morning and one pail in the afternoon to bring home to grandma so that they could feed the family. It was the depression that was considered better than starving. So just a heads up, when they're talking about bread lines, none of these fools are even talking about stuff like we talk about every day. How about you grow some food? Well, I don't need to do that. I got the grocery store. Yes, yes I know. You do have the grocery store. If you don't have digits to go to the grocery store, how will you get things from the grocery store? Well, that's not going to happen. Okay, I see. How many fools you have actually talk like that right now? closed circuit, you know, P-brain. I mean, and again, they're the ones that also demand to be heard and then demand to, you know, we need to tell you what to do. No, you don't. In fact, I suggest you back away from me right now. Once, you know, once this kicks off, those games are done. All this BS is done as far as that goes, and that's what everybody better... The sooner we do that, the faster we get back to a real normalcy, which we do not have right now. Go ahead, I think Phil said, go ahead, jump in there please. Talking about that, I have friends that are business owners and they've been complaining about kids not being able to use change unless they have a computer to do it for them and not being able to read a regular clock unless it's digital. There's one business that the kids told her that they couldn't read the clock. It had regular hands on it. to put up a digital clock so they could read the time. Oh, you're going to learn something new at my place of business. You're going to learn to read that clock where you're not going to be at my business. They can't tell time. They can't do that. They can't read. They can't write. They're not really that proficient in reading and writing anymore. And they're not teaching cursive in the schools anymore because they said, well, everything's digitized. Everything's digital. But what happens if all the computers and everything fail? Which, you know what? It could. With all these satellites up in the air, which they're putting 7,500 more of them, they're going to make cell towers. That's Elon Musk's next idea, to make cell towers. So when you see these blue streaks in the sky, that's what it is. They're going to put 7,500 of those out in space. They're trying to get the FCC approval for that right now. But with all that, They assume that you don't really need to know anything except to be able to turn on a computer and learn from there. So if you want to know something about history, you go there. And one day it might be one way, and the next day it might be some way other. Because they have total control over it and what it says. So... Yeah, they won't have to wait to shred so many books and ban them from the libraries because the books never got to the library in the first place. Right. If it's digital, it's just to the switch and that's we've been arguing all along. This is why, as I've said, it's most important that we build as many libraries as we possibly can. Personal libraries for your own benefit. In fact, a treasure is what they become. One of the things too is especially with the map out the way it's going right now is remember I've said this about music everybody's dumping their personal collections of fill-in-the-blank and It's like why well somebody else said oh so some idiot Dink wad who you don't know Yeah, I told you that the latest trend and so you think you need to mimic the latest trend is to take the Thousands or many some people have tens of thousands of worth the dollars worth of music or technology and all of a sudden they're gonna chuck it out the window. Now I don't mind that to a degree because like I said I've been collecting a lot of really cool stuff most recently and I'm not hesitating and I don't ask anybody if you're really sure you want to do it anymore you know I've stopped doing that I don't care. If they were goofy enough to drink the Kool-Aid and buy into whatever BS, you're not going to take a 15-minute conversation or a 5-minute conversation with them and change the direction. Because the moment you leave, either the family member is going to be right there in their ear about how stupid it is to do anything other than what Bob Schmidlapp says on Internet channel 406 government public agenda. Well, okay, so instead the best thing we can do is when we see it and if we can get it for free or if we can get it for an incredibly ridiculous price, grab it. One of the things that if we get into a conflict and it's not really not an if now, it's just what day will we get into a conflict? But when we do get into that conflict, all this technology is going to be hit. It's going to be hit because both sides will be taking it out. That's the part everybody needs to get. Another thing, they need to wrap their brain around. Neither side is, in progressive and specific situations, isn't going to be able to afford to leave it intact. And so it's just going to be gone. And it's going to be gone to the point where trying to come out and put up another one isn't going to do them any good. Satellite replacement is going to be rather interesting because, again, I understand how Musk is proposing to do it. He's going on the cheap volume. I just think completely what the technology has always been, to a degree, available. The issue is the amount of energy output to be able to operate the satellites with regard to our handheld technology is going to be the issue. And that's something that they don't want to discuss because if all of a sudden you can't really help, I mean, you can make them cheaper but they're not making phones cheap anymore. Anybody got a cheap cell phone? Or something you would consider a cheap cell phone. I know you can get I know like we said throwaways Don't go ahead. I got a $20 flip from I've been using for almost two years, right? I grab forever shut up because they might take it. You know what I mean or stop it from working That's when the agenda lately where all these companies companies are going to 5g And they're trying to tell everybody that they need to go to 5g when nobody really wants it They don't want to go they don't want to go to 5g But they are telling, I had that happen where I was told by the company that was providing service, Net10, that I had to get a different phone. I couldn't use the phone I had because they were going up to the Verizon network. I said, why can't I get the new, well you have to have a 5G phone. I said, no I don't, yeah you do, you have to have a 5G phone. I said, you know what? 5G is going to be around for at least 4 or 3 or 4 years. I said you are trying to intimidate everybody and get them on this 5G thing when nobody really wants it and you are just intimidating people. And you are trying to tell them, you are lying to them because you are telling them that everybody is going to that and nobody wants it. And I said it is going to be around for 3 or 4 years. He said you are right. But I wound up going with another network and using 4G. And again, well that's one of the other things, like other electronic technologies, we've been running into a lot of cell phones for free. And again, grab every one that you can. There are actually ulterior motives for that, obviously, but one of the things I got was a fantastic, looks like it's an on the circulated flip phone. Don't know if I could reactivate it or not, haven't tried, don't have a cell phone to begin with. But the fact of the matter is that it would be good bait and you charge the thing up, it pings, it shows something's there. And so my logic is I need more bait than anything else. So that's one of the reasons that I've grabbed every phone, got a bunch of iPhones. I have a ton of iPhones. Nice iPhones actually. Also with their counterpart music storage systems, which the music is interesting, some of the stuff I've found. Not critical, but it's useful anyway go ahead call or jump in there heard another voice Hey, it's Todd down Orlando. I'll ask you a couple questions Regarding camouflage Some companies have been coming out with some really nice patterns And one of the ones that have just come up was a company called miltech and they developed something called Z3A Phantom leaf. Have you seen this one yet? Miltex has come out with a bunch of different camels over the last few years. I have not seen that one yet. They've got the wasp. That's another one you know that they've pushed through a stern. It may even be the same pattern. I have to look at the nomenclature for the number. Actually, I did last night. There are some excellent patterns that have come out that are better at being high contrast from a distance so you don't turn into just a human blob. But at close range they're exceptional details so that it breaks up your silhouette either way You either blend in at close range or you have enough light dark contrast that you don't get this Distinctive human silhouette at you know a greater range go ahead right and it's the same with something called ten cot green zone or 10 cot brown which is good for the desert and And it's the same with Russian Digital Jungle or CadPat which is a Canadian version of Marpat. And man, all this stuff is really awesome. Here's the problem. Number one, it's... I think the price they charge for some of this stuff, like $150 for a pair of pants, it's probably like price... yeah, price gouging or illegal. Number two... Number two, you can find a nice plate carrier in this phantom leaf, but you can't find any matching pouches. You can find thin-hot Green Zone pouches, but they're like 40 or 50 dollars apiece. So, here's the reason why I'm bringing this up. I think if you took all the people who listened to this program or claimed to be You know in the militia. They've got their you're ready to go and you sat them down and you asked them What kind of backpack do you have? Well, I don't really I mean I got a backpack, but it's not like really no and they would make an excuse not to have a backpack for years I touted the Alice the large Alice backpack with the external frame the backpack Without anything in it is 11 pounds You fast forward to the Mali 2 backpack with the frame at 6 pounds. My buddy had one that was a medium size. I said I want to buy a large. He had way too much heavy stuff and a lot of stainless steel cook wearing stuff in his medium and it weighed like 52 pounds. I said I'm going to get a large one but I'm going to put more clothing in it because travel life is a nice kind of thing. So I just want to hand you a bid and someone sent me an offer and I bid on it. $36, large MOLLE 2, ECU backpack. $36 shipped. It's ex-military, it's used, but it's in great condition. Why am I bringing this up is because most people will sit around and wait for the camo that they want to save the money to get the perfect loadout in everything they want. where we've been shown time and again, over and over and over again, that you can buy ECU digital. It hasn't been affected by inflation yet. The prices are still cheap. And I have never seen $36 for an ECU large-mile-a-hue backpack in the whole time that I've been working on eBay. I just picked one up for 36 bucks a shift. So when I get it, if it takes, um... some kind of RIT dye that's in dark green, I'll do it. If not, I'll paint it. But the fact of the matter is, is that I'm going to have a backpack that I think it's like 5500 cubic inches and it's going to be in great shape and I'll only have spent 36 dollars on it. And to be honest with you, I think a lot of people don't understand the necessity of having a backpack when we go into a situation where the supply chain has totally broken. And I've called your program before and I've talked about the fact that if we go into a situation where, let's say it's six months after the balloon went up, and you've got to go into an urban environment, and you've got to scavenge. You've got to take a backpack with you that's empty. You've got to take rubber gloves with you. You've got to take garbage bags with you. You're going to be scavenging off dead people. You're going to be scavenging through trash. You're going to be digging for stuff and finding stuff, and you've got to have somewhere to put it. And if all you've got is some plate carrier with a few dump pouches here and there, you're not going to have enough room and space to carry everything you need. You've got to get a big backpack to carry a lot of stuff and you've got to do what it might and you've got to be able to be shape enough to huck through this stuff and huck it through the city and have what you need to get there and then have what you need to get back as well. You've got to have a big backpack. And if you're going to wait until you want to get the German Flecktarn backpack across $250, if it's even available, go ahead. If that's $250 you're spending on a backpack, you could be spending $30, $40 on it. And I'm looking through, if you just go to E-Bing, you type in ACU, all this stuff, still, it's unbelievably cheap. And there's so much of it and nobody wants it because they don't want to take the extra time to do their own custom camo on it to either dye it or paint it. It's just sitting there on the market and they can't get rid of it. These sling mag carriers that carry six stand egg mags, those are like you can buy ten of them for $39. You hand them out. Exactly. And people aren't, you know, they put the magazines in their pockets, they don't have a loadout. Oh, I'm going to get a loadout someday. I'm going to get a plate carrier someday. I'm going to get some kind of vest someday. And you never do. You got 10 of them, just pass them out. Okay, we didn't do civilian defenses. You just want to use one for you. Now you got seven max. Six in the bandolier, one in the gun. I'm going to put the backpack on and I'm like, we're scavenging through the city. People don't think like this. They want what they want. That's why I asked you if you'd seen this Phantom Leaf. Because it's like the best camo there is, except it's like V-A-Wear. You can't get it. One of the other problems, exactly as you described, there was what was basically dirty, it was actually oil can camo. One of the companies came up with what the guys were doing over in Afghanistan. They're taking the Coyote Brown. applying automotive oil, rolling it around in a dust box or rolling around in it just to get it to collect and absorb the dust of ages over there, which people don't really understand what the environment is like. It racks the same way. It's why I joke about dust of ages because it is. Because of that fine silt, it actually works right in and locks in with whatever it is that you've got. In fact, it stays dirty that way. It was a great, somebody came up with a pattern and actually built it. You know what, just like you said, initially there were a few pouches, there were about two or three different sizes of backpacks made by odd companies, they weren't made by the usual China spare. But what happened is, people snagged the pouches, certain items just dried up immediately, there was no replacement, and only now after, these things have been around for maybe eight, ten years, Finally, they've run out of the basic components. But like I said, you could still get the plate carrier or the laser cut, just a MOLLE vest type system. But there was nothing to attach to it that matched. Now you could use, and just use as is, any of the Molly Coyote Brown or DPM Desert Camo or the three-color desert and throw that in there to mix it up. But it wasn't that pattern. The pattern does work. Problem is, there's nothing to work with. And also, like I said, the cost is the other issue. If you're spending a horrific amount of money on one item, what else do you have in your kit because of that? A lot of people are trying to build from scratch. Now the ACU, and again I fully believe in picking up ACU. I know it's the shoot me uniform. We've joked about that for years. I think it was intentional. I think it was the most blatant but not mentioned shoot no shoot uniform that they come up with since the Civil War. You know what I mean? In other words, well we gotta have something other than blue because if we all wear blue when we see each other we shoot each other and there's some terrible accidents. So, eventually, blue versus gray. And I think that the ACU was that purpose. That because we were doing policing operations and not a knockdown drag out, got to sit out in the field, don't get to go home at night and shower, not going to be able to eat pizza this evening. When you're doing it the way you see operating in Afghanistan, with still some military operations being more serious than others, It still comes down to you. You went back to the rear, you come off the flight line, you go take a shower, clean yourself up, sit down, pick from five menus that are off the board there, looks like a little pizza hut, and you go to sleep on a regular bed. That's not the world, not the kind of world that we're going to be facing. And a lot of people would like that. Like I said, it's like punching out a clock. So the ACU gear is the most affordable. I think I could put a complete battalion. I was thinking about this daily because I'm constantly collecting ACU. The other thing I've been doing is cherry picking from all of the clearance and close outs all across the system with ACU components. Example, I needed so many dozens of the fanny packs. Well, I found a place that had the fanny packs for $3.50 a unit. I bought them out. Bought every last one of them. You know what I can't make that pouch for that price and as you pointed out Oh, this is the big thing guys Pick the color that makes sense for your area, but if you go over to YouTube there are excellent videos Some of them they're trying to be funny But there you know again, that's cool because they're trying to make it interesting to keep your attention But they're using chocolate. Up here I think the chocolate shades or a gray green shade would be your best eye. If you're down south you might want more lush because even when it browns out it's still relatively lush in the south like Florida or the coast, the Gulf Coast. But you pick a color shade that makes sense but if you go over to YouTube you can see somebody else who's done it. And so all this equipment will die. They've already proven it can be done. Is it going to be perfect? Yeah, actually, because think about this. If you dye all of these pieces of equipment in a color shade range that's yours, and what's interesting is that amazingly enough, the different colors shade differently as far as how they take the dye, so you still get a camouflage pattern. Which is cool because you get the light dark shading that you need to create mental contrast in the observer. They're trying to fix on one color, then they're trying to work on the other color and your brain goes back and forth. That's why camouflage works. You try to fix in one and create a silhouette, doesn't work. You fix the other color, try to create a silhouette, doesn't work. So again, the cool thing about the ACU or the ADU is that once colored out, you have an excellent friend faux shoot no shoot uniform because it's distinct. It's not like anybody else. I kicked myself in the ass here last year and I think the company was an American company that went out of business. They had about 12,000 uniforms for an insane price. They were American manufactured. They were in an off pattern for one of the Europe, actually for one of the Middle Eastern countries. But the pattern was in the shade range for Michigan woodland environment. And I should have bought it all. It was so insanely cheap that it made, in fact I would have asked them if they could have made more. It's a pattern that was totally unique. and would work but it's totally unique and half the battle is if I see you can I be sure that I can put a sight on you and put a bullet in you and the shoot no shoot uniform configuration like this means that you hesitate less. Hey Mark. Always remember that. That's why certain patterns are great but if you're going to adopt them, hold on caller I heard you. If you're going to do it let me explain to what we do here. I've been doing this for a very long time. I've been buying stuff from people that don't exist and have been dead for 30, 30, 40 years now. Or 20 years. When my unit fields, we have certain tell pieces of equipment. Nobody can possibly own. You can't walk out and buy it. You can't fake it. The particular items are so totally unique that they are a signature. They're like a pass coin. We don't point them out, and I'm not going to point them out now except say in general, each man has to have this piece, these, well, one or more pieces of equipment. Sometimes we have more than one. And in doing this, I know that that's an ally. Now, if I see someone who's out of place, maybe trying to be the sneaky Pete coming in off of patrol, I'm not going to go crazy on that person right away. I want to make sure I give the high sign. A few people are already in place to work along with that sneaky Pete. And we want to catch that person very much alive. So we'd like to have a conversation. See how that works? So again, there are many Tails that can be created you guys have to be creative it can be insignia They can be a unit marker It can be a piece of equipment that you wear and you wear it in a location for a reason Color good yep, and yeah, yeah, I'd like to add to that mark what you're just talking about Just real quick for a unit insignia You know one of the ways you can do that is on like like bandoliers and things You can add a different color of binding tape onto the pouch. And that way actually you can distinguish between different people in the unit simply because of the binding tape on the pouches. Most people wouldn't even catch it, but it's a way to identify certain people or to identify units. But you were talking about dyeing stuff. It's been two or three weeks ago you were talking about using walnut holes and things like that to dye with. Yes, so we're just at the well. Go ahead. Yeah, it does. What I did is I contacted the RIT dye company to ask them a procedure for dyeing these nylons and these corderas. And basically, you want the RIT dye that has got the acid to it. Or if you buy the regular dye, you want to add a white vinegar to it. And then it's based upon that you do it. But one of the things they want you to do is they want you to have that water very hot. And they want that water not a rapid boil, but up to almost boiling, about 200 degrees. And if you do that, your ability to get the dye to stay fast in these corderas. Now see, one of the reasons that some people have trouble getting some of these, like, ACU patterns to dye is because, please understand, that is a military grade, very compliant, And most of that has been double coated with a polyurethane coating. But if you take and get enough heat and enough acid in your dye, that will actually go ahead and dye them. Now, I am aware of, or have seen some pictures of that, where people have taken ACU and then they dye it. Where you take like Rit Dyes, Royal Blue. And then you take Rit Dyes, Dark Green. And you come up with a couple of the fourths green. But if you dye some of these ACU patterns, you come up with what's called a swamp grass type color. And because the ACU pattern is a combination kind of like a light and a tight little bit of gray, that will come out looking like swamp grass. So I mean there's ways to do that, but probably the cheapest way to do it, which to be honest with you, I'm waiting for the walnuts to start dropping, is go out and just save all the stink in the walnut holes you can. And the same thing with that is you just need to get it hot. You need to use hot water. And it really works. There's a YouTube channel called Townsons. It's some guy that basically mimics the things that they did 200 years ago, 300 years ago. Walnut dye is a very, very sound and stable dye. In fact, it will work in places on some things where even these colored dyes, like the Rit dye, may not even work. And especially using it for like wood dyes or wood stains. You can actually take a walnut dye if you're going to work on something like a wood pattern for wood. It actually brings out the grain of the wood better than many of the factory commercial stains actually bring out. So I was just basically wanting to add that mark. And I appreciate you taking my call. The big thing with the walnut, like you said, we're on the edge of the season. I got walnuts I already ran into today while they're hanging, while I was running the lawnmower to move the trailer to move a bunch of stuff, right? And last year it didn't hang down that low, but it's loaded. In fact, it's weird because it's a very healthy mid-age tree. It's not very big. But it's cranking out the walnuts this year, and that's going to be the tree that donates to the cause right there. And we're going to get walnuts of it, we're going to get the walnut holes, and we're going to get the husks. And the husk is what you use for dying for everybody that's listening. You want the husks, the other green. Just to stay while the husk, to come in a bucket with a, like a gamma seal lid on them, or just a lid, or if you don't have that, stick a heavy duty garbage bag over the top of it, and just tie it on with a string to hold it in, so you don't get insects and bugs and certain things growing into it. They will eat out because maggots will grow. They love those husks. So that's why you want to seal them off because you will get bugs. Now if you still use it, the bugs boil just like anything else. Okay. Ew, yuck. Yeah, well, you won't know any difference when the time comes. Do you boil that or do you just strain it off and mix it with alcohol and save it in jars? How do you save it? The way I do it, like this last year, I still have five, no, three-gallon food-grade containers of hulls for the last year. And I just broached one. In fact, I also did crab apples the same way. And what I'm amazed is how stable they were. I didn't do anything special. I just left them on the shelf. But I did make sure they were airtight. So needless to say, no bugaboos or vermin are going to be able to access them. Now, I don't know if plastic barrels aren't going to stop everything from chewing through. So if something gets a scent, that's one thing you've got to be thinking about. But as far as the storage goes, I typically just leave them as is because, as is pointed out, one gentleman has already done the experiment with doing dry holds. In other words, totally dry, totally desiccated. And rehydrating them and bringing them back into service, they worked fine. That's what his claim is. So again, something to think about is if we have any way to dry them, just for the sake, kind of like you would sun drying them, just to get most of the moisture gone, you won't get it 100%. That would be another solution. But 5 gallon or 3 gallon pails or whatever size pail, I've got a couple sources here for some nice food grade product. And that's what I've been putting them in and that's what works best for me right now. Now they're not going to last that long once we start dying stuff. In other words, we're going to be using them up. One of the other things you pointed out, guys, when you're done dying all the other things that you died, that nice solution you have, Save up every piece of scrap burlap you have and when you're done put the burlap in the in that solution and leave it Leave it for as long as you want when you're done take it out make up a Throwaway clothesline. Oh if you really want to be have some fun get some cordage that is jute and put the stuff on that, the rope itself will also be camouflaged and what you're doing is adding to your Gilly Suit Inventory. And remember, it will dye it different grades. In other words, if you leave it in a little bit, pull it out, it'll drip dry, you're gonna get like a light brown or even a coyote brown. You leave it in long enough, you get a rich, dark, deep chocolate brown. And you get shades in between. So if you tie dye it, so to speak, if you dip it, leave part of it out, then when you pull the stuff out, you untie dye, unwrap it. When you untie it, you're going to have odd-shaped dye flashes of different colors, depending on concentration. And this helps with regard to building a local ghillie suit in neutral pattern, neutral colors that will work for a very long time. And by the way, where to get burlap? Watch places that are installing like new construction. Watch their jump bins where they are throwing out the wraps for all the ornamental shrubs that they bring in. I have miles of free burlap that way and some of it's already in different colors. So I won't even stain some of that. Some of that will just be used as is because it comes in a gray green, it comes in a bright green, it comes in a tan. And it's just the nature of the burlap and how it came out of the factory without doing anything. Wow. I never thought of that. It's another way to add to the color too because you're going to make different seasonal and you don't want... the biggest problem with doing bright greens is they're very specific. If I was in Florida, I wouldn't worry too much. I love the Air Force Vietnam era, late pattern, what they call bright woodwind. or there's another name for it. God, I could look it up, but I would bother. Anyway, it was very distinct. Now, for Vietnam, it was fantastic. For right now, in summer in Michigan, it would work. But it's such a bright range of colors that when you start getting into fall, it loses its potential. What you need, and this is where like those mandarin shades that everybody, no matter what camouflage company comes up, guys, you notice, they do a Lush. They do a medium, uh, uh, bland middle color and then they do a bright desert color. They do a light desert color. And there's a reason. O3 shape ranges cover most of the country with walnut stain or rit dye like you were just talking. I'm just saying your support camera. Don't forget tie dye dudes. This has been a really good conversation Mark. This has been a really good conversation. Not for shapes mistaken in my call. Thank you, thank you for bringing the subject up and thank you caller for the issue again. ACU is a solution guys. It's cheap. You still have to hand it out. Better than hard language and here's a sharp stick. Go kill Pete Lee. Let's go to break. God bless. Tell Bill Lee. Fire's not the runt. Keep still in the conversation buddy. Anyway, let's take a break. Runt back in a minute here. We've got about three minutes. Figure walking through the mist with a flint lock in it. 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 let in home grave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land to the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to this. 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 gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame number. You trade it in your neck. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep. But men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit so their children won't be born. Here, send artillery or insurers, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Do you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage and faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for what you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free and home of the free? 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 Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. Both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. South, north, and west. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we're on satellite. We'll see how you all are merchant marine operators, no matter what body of water you're on, and log our digital with regard to listening and rebroadcasting. We're using everything, and you guys are making it happen. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States, and it is Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon. But if you don't back it up with ass, someone's gonna turn it into a canoe and all that really great knowledge will be gone. Shouting stop, or I'll shout stop again, isn't gonna get it done. Anyway, it is the 28th of August. It is the 16th year of open and all mine. In your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. of America with a K-2024 older calendar. I'm giving all she's got, Captain! And 2024 Battle for the Republic, book one, The Dance of Swords, how it began. And for everybody, it has been a very busy, busy week. Got some painting done tactically. Actually, I'm using a new color base. Should mention that. But I went out and did a little different color base for the tactical vehicles. Ultra flat, of course, but I went with a slightly darker shade than standard tree bark. You know, the gray green range. And it works. phenomenally well with the contrast pattern that I've been trying to work out. I'm shifting some of the research over to, and it's all quick because we're at the end of the season, I know it's going to work, but doing the high contrast light dark camouflage pattern of the type that we were talking about with the old clown suit check camouflage uniforms, but more in the Scandinavian color range. There were a number of uniforms Finland got one of them that was the same cut and the same printout, but with a more muted range of colors with regard to one or two that we were replacing the others that had been brighter. Now the reason for the brighter colors, we're talking about camouflage the last hour, is to create that dazzle effect. One of the biggest problems with micro mesh camouflage is when you get out to a certain distance, well it still is a subdued color, so that's good. But because it does not have any sharp definition in larger format splotch or drizzle pattern through the uniform, what happens is, if you mentioned just where it would be green at the standard combat range, it would do no better nor any worse. Okay? So the challenge is that you have a close quarter This is a deceptive pattern, which isn't hard to do, but in the process, if you'll notice this is true with ATACS, Crypttec, Sandhill. In fact, even with the more recent ones, like our caller was pointing out, one of them is Wasp. Now, Wasp is made by Miltec. and they make four flavors of it. Okay, you know, as I was mentioning earlier, there's a lush range, more and more green. There's a mid-green brown, then there's a brown, and then they usually are now making a night pattern. In other words, light dark colors, but in the very dark range headed towards the blacks and grays. And they work in their particular mission, typically because if you have the money to be able to have a wardrobe, that would be cool. We're not that blessed. Most everybody I know is limited. So the mid green is usually your best utility standard. It usually has a little more brown in it. But that's what you need to go from, especially in a battlefield situation with militia, where you're going from the summer season and into the fall, and then rolling over into the winter, which you're going to have to enhance with other colors, whites and grays. And then back into spring season, etc., full cycle of growth and changes in color pattern. If you do have the ability to acquire the stuff, I'm not telling you to stop, you've got more money than I do, you can buy whatever you want. In fact, does that matter? You don't have more money than I do. You can buy whatever you want. This is America. But the idea is that you make up for the difference with improvising and home built, and that's where you can afford and save. Go ahead, call our chimp in there. Yeah, I just wanted to piggyback on the guy talking about the rucksack, the Alice pack. I agree 100% as far as that goes, but 11 pounds for Alice pack? Nah, not in this world. The largest pack that the military ever made was only 9 pounds, and that was the USMC. But to that point, the Molly 2 takes the plastic frame, which you can adapt to an Alice frame. I have that. I do the 510 program, so I have a bunch of them and I've done all kinds of different things. But the Alice pack, the reason that rocks is because you add a shelf to that and now you've got an ammo carrier, you've got a water carrier. It's just the versatility is unmatched. And I believe the pack itself On its own, it's somewhere around 6 to 7 pounds completely unloaded. As far as finding deals on the ACU stuff and all that, they have Alice packs in that as well. They're out there. You know, dying and all that, it works. You want to spend the time and get the formula right. But my suggestion to anybody who's on the fence about it is get a rain cover in the color that you want. And usually the two-sided. And just roll with that. You don't have to worry about dying anything because you just put that rain cover on there and now you're killing two birds with one stone. That was my two cents on it. I love the rucksack conversation. Alice Pack by far is my favorite. Over. Real quick, since you brought up the shelves, I mentioned this the other day. Now forgive me, I can't recall, it's either going to be Colmans.com, and I think it's Colmans, and right now they're on sale, but they have a World War II L-Shelves for whatever. It may have been for the old buck board type cargo backpack, cargo pack. But these are metal, they are mill grade, they are extra heavy, and I think it's five for like six dollars. They're military issue now. Here's the thing we one thing about that's cool about these molly packs They put the way they cast the things they obviously tried to lighten lighten up the weight But in the process they made a million attachment points the Molly backpack if you grab them if you grab a molly of You know, you can experiment. Don't get rid of something else you've already worked out and fixed because we're too close to the war. Guys, do you honestly think they're going to let go of power? Does anybody out there believe that all this mish-mish conversation is relevant? I don't. I mean, I'll help anybody who's... Go ahead. Jump in there, caller, please. I'm sorry. Yeah, Mark. I was shooting my 38 special reloads and a little issue developed, but it wasn't dangerous. They were powerful. They shoot accurately, but they're just one thing. When I fired them, a teeny bit of unburned smokeless granules came out that never burned. Why? What's wrong? Why'd they do that? Okay, number one, back up your powder charge. You mean it was a little much? What that means real quick is typically what's happened is there's only so much burn you're going to get for the volume, the space, and the length of the barrel. If you had some kind of pitter out the end, what that means is whatever powder you were using, you need to look at your powder scale. You need to look at your referencing in your loadbook. And whatever you're presently doing, I would ratchet it back. Well, take a look. I'd go back to maybe a grain. Maybe it'll drop it that much. I need 5.4 grains of unique and it's 125 grains of olive oil. Right, and again these 125s seem to be in the 130s of the dominant coming through the market probably from Europe right now. You can get them either as hollow point or you're noticed popping in as FMJs. So they conform to the Geneva Convention which we really don't care much about. The big thing is that either way you've got a lighter bullet, she's going to move faster right from the get go. I mean, normally we can use the 48. I got no pressure signs at the primer. I checked them. No pressure signs or bulging at the primer or anything. Right. Well, you could still. No, you're not going to. You've actually got more powder than you need for the push, which is why, like you said, you've got some kind of fizzle going on afterwards. That means you have powder that hasn't completely processed by the time the bullet left the tube. That means you can ratchet it back a bit with that particular bullet. You can bring your powder charge down. Now here's how I do that. I understand, but you're going to have to look at your scale. You have to look at your schedule for the powder versus the bullet. If you go right to your referencing book, it has a whole scale where you can ratchet it back. You only have to guess on this. You just follow the instruction and go back a step at a time and maybe another step beyond that. What I do is I'll do five test loads, five test bullets, and I'll do them in the next point down in the chart, if I'm going to go by the chart, and I think I'll just follow the instructions. Everybody can do that. What you do is go down, do five, and then do five, going farther down the chart, the next step. What this allows you to do is come up with a test batch, then you separately shoot each, If you have what is an issue with regard to performance and, you know, unburned powder, you want somebody to observe the round, you know, observe the weapon while it's being fired. If you don't have anybody to buddy up with, then you need to be looking more at, in other words, shoot at very close range. You're looking more at function rather than worrying about accuracy. So you bring your target in, try to hit a target just so you can see what the print's like. The biggest thing here is that you want to follow the scale chart that you already have in your reloading book and you make it consistent when you see what it is, when you see that it's performing to your preference. And needless to say, if you have unburned powder, coming out of the end of the tube, that's powder that would have been used to reload another cartridge. So you're wasting, you've got powder expenditure that you don't need. In other words, you can really save. Number one with and again remember yeah that 130 grain is really uncharacteristic for what traditionally we fought fired in 38 and 3 5 7 20 stop is what they all were yeah, okay, so it's a 125 grain boat and it's an it's a it's great. We do all fired yet Right, we've done that before But well seen I hear again now. Let me point something out if you have not reloaded using that combo and you have had this problem, the way to prevent that is when you're loading and if everybody listening it's the same thing, you want to do a smaller test batch for just this purpose. Now what I do if I've got a totally new bullet And I got a powder I haven't used that much is I'll actually take a loading tray and like I just said, I'll do five based upon the specs that I have on the sheet, low grade, mid grade, and then maybe five there, you know, with a little more powder charge, but that may be a waste of resources. The big thing is to test just below medium spec. Because if it will perform below medium spec, then you've got more powder to reload with. You still got to use the same primers, you still got to use the same bullet. You're going to have to reshape the case each time, but if you drop her down below medium point, or he was considered average spec for that particular bullet, That's the best place to start, especially if you're limited in powder. Now everybody's limited in powder. And then if you see that that's not performing, you're still getting excessive overburn, in other words, putter burn, then drive her down farther. Take it down farther. You want to find a balance, and if you're reloading, that's what you do. And by the way, powder has changed, depending on age a little bit, so it's good to do a spec test. We get eight pound and five pound and one pounders all the time that are older. If we're gonna run a bunch of bullets, a bunch of ammunition, we'll do a test shoot on that powder too just to see how it's performing. And so what you wanna- My primers are eight. Go ahead. My primers will Winchester small pistol. Well, I don't think the primers have the problem here. Now here's the thing. If you wanted a full burner, a hotter burner, you go with Magnum primers. Right? Remember guys, no, I know because you still know because I want to use less powder get the same projection downrange and I can have another 50 bullets per pound or maybe a loaded cartridges per pound. If you've got excess burn, you're not going to inspire the enemies with an extra flash out the end of the tube that's kind of a sputtering whooper. So instead, what you're looking at is you want to perforate the target more often, so you're going to wheel back the charge unless you have something that is an issue with the powder in general. Now, I'm not going to go over the air talking about a powder burn test, but we used to do that with, you know, we used to buy 40-pound ordnance tubs of Winchester and standard rifle powder. for 50 caliber and for heavy rifle. And well, I've bought truckloads, literally. But what we do is when we even shot me broach a barrel, we would do a timed burn test with a, you know, a swash of the powder to see whether or not it was, you know, what it was, what it was, what it was specking at. And I'm not going to, I don't need to worry about that. Right now it's, you know that it's working, it capped, it put, you know, the charge activated, but you have too much powder in the case for the project that you've, you know, aligned with, and it's the bullet because that bullet's going to travel faster. And so there's only so much energy you can really put behind it. It's lighter, so that's the balancing act when you go to these different bullet specs. I prefer a heavier bullet, but right now the cheapest bullets out there are in that 125 to 130 weight category. And if you go and look for 38 special or 357 off the shelf, you'll notice that the most common out there is an FMJ 100, what is it, 130 grain ball round. I've never seen it before recently, but in the past it would be 148 or 158 grain. Even if it's a jacketed round, they'll still hover around 158 for the heavy, you know, stick with the heavier bullet because that's consistent, it creates consistency from one projectile to the other. And since you're using lead for training to save money, you used to, EFMJs are saved for when you're going into a fight. You didn't waste the FMJs for just blazing away. Nowadays we do because like bullets aren't as readily available. What does that say to me? They're lead with a copper coating to almost feel like a jacket. I'm sorry. Well, okay, they're cleaning right just all they do all that is is just literally the lead has been put into a copper wall a copper plating system and You can was single or double or triple plate it more copper you add the less issue you have with letting that was the whole idea It helps to, number one, when the bullet, typically if it's plated, what will happen? If you recover one, you'll notice that it looks like it's a jacket around almost, although it's a little nibbly. When it bonds with the lens and the grooves, it has a tendency to stress, and the copper, actually, if you were to look at it closely, there's little fractures. Now, that's not a bad thing, because the copper plating, actually, and it's a softer metal in the barrel, It actually helps to clean the rifling as it moves through. So it's a really neat system. We used to play everything. I'm surprised. I doubt people are now. I haven't paid attention to the reloading industry for manufacturers. selling to gun shops, but used to be I sold hundreds of thousands of rounds of copper plated 9, lead round ball or copper plated 44 Magnum, 44 Smith & Wesson 38 Special 357. My book tells me that when I go to the heavier bullet I must reduce the charge weight. little. Right. Because it could mark over pressure too much. Right. You're probably not good problem. You're not having a problem with over pressure. You're having a problem with excessive powder burn because of lack of consumption. You don't need as much of a thump behind it to get the bullet to do what it needs to do. Well, you don't need more powder because you've got excess powder, which is why you're seeing the overburn. So, I mean, I'm still not a gradual coming out the muzzle, you know. Right that now to a degree that happens every time depending on any course is more dynamic depending on the The type of powder used but it shouldn't be there So like I said go to your powder scale go I could go to your reloading scale in your book Take a look at the next setting down do five rounds Experiment. I tell you what we got to do. We're gonna spare with something else though because we're at the bottom of the hour We didn't do it the last hour There are many like it but this one is mine My rifle is my best, it is my life And that's the best I have met With that my useless true It shoots me Before God's name He never had to come and demand us to spend Listen to our valley there is danger And there's danger in our hills Oh, here you'll not stop singing of the view The wild and free But soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree Oh, the rifle For the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle You may ride a goodly speed, you may not stern a master You forward march with speed, but you'll learn to back much faster When you meet our mountain boys And their leader George Scott Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark Hold the rifle, hold the rifle In our hands we'll prove no trifle We've raised it home, back across the briney water And pity 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 a buck through, the quicker it will be done Hold the rifle, hold the rifle Get our hands for proof, note the rifle Hold the rifle, hold the rifle Get our hands for proof, note the rifle We are back.

And again, keep your rifle by your side. We've got a lot of work to do. We're going to be in the middle of a conflict here. We've got to make sure that we have the resources in hand. And most important, your individual rifle should be a natural extension of you. It does not leave your person. stays under your control, constantly available.

Struggling with moderate disease of your toes as these are ulcerative colitis. Teppar. Then again, everybody out there it is Weapons Wednesday. uh... quick reminder though shelves i was mentioning before going farther uh... it is either at colman's dot com and it's in their specials they've got a discount labor day thing going on they're ridiculously cheap uh... go take a look at them see if they make sense for you but they may also have them if i'm wrong if you're not a colman's they're over at sportsman's guide but i would check colman's first it'll be easier to find them there uh... it's still colman's is sometimes obnoxious to run page wise. But the cool thing is that there are certain things they have there that are better priced. You want to go through all of their discounts right now, especially for things like accoutrements that might be finishing off what you already need to square your technology away. You can take these shelves, probably adapt them to the Alice Pack. If they aren't really for the Alice Pack, they might be. Just because people are surplus doesn't mean they always get the modeling right and sometimes fortunately for us they make booboos and those are actually a benefit for us because the boo boo they might make means that you save a lot of money. They must. And these are supposed to be brand new unissued by the way. Go ahead jump in there color. This is Todd again in Orlando. So if you go to venture surplus that six magazine bandolier over the shoulder ACU Setup that is $7.99. That's eight bucks. If you go on eBay you can buy five of them for like four bucks apiece. Literally half the price. Now I like venture surplus and I like various Stelica or whatever it's called and quite a few other places but right now if you type in ACU at eBay there's tens of thousands of offerings in ACU. This is why I'm harping on it because I know people literally they'll sit there and brag about all the guns and ammo they have and you ask them what kind of loadout you have. Well what do you mean? When you need people that were in the military well what do you use? You have a plate carrier, you have a chest carrier, you have a lot. What do you have to carry all this stuff with? Oh yeah you know well I've got Yeah, I've got a few pouches here and there. They don't have anything. And then it's like, you tell them, okay, you can buy this stuff for cheap on eBay. It's, you know, you can put together a decent setup, chest rig, plate carrier, something. And they're like, yeah, yeah. And you send them links and they still don't buy it. So, you know, what I'm saying is, is that if you've got people And they're sitting on the fence and they don't have the money and they're crying about stuff. And you tell them, you know, this is going to happen really soon. You know, at least get them to buy a backpack and just a six-magazine shoulder bandolier. Or if you buy them, you can hand them out to your friends. They're like four bucks a piece. Anybody can afford four bucks a piece. So that's why I called and I mentioned that. And another thing, as far as the other caller called, and he says an Alice pack is not 11 pounds. I don't know. I haven't weighed my Alice pack, but with the cargo shelf, it's pretty close. And all I'm saying is that the, I'm not, I do not want this to be a discussion of Molly II versus Alice pack because I like both of them. But if I am in a situation where The mission is you're going into the city and you're going to get whatever you can find. You're going to scat them to a whole bunch of dead people because it was just a battle and the battle is over with and there's corpses all over the place. I'm going to take the backpack that has more cubic square inches which is the MOLLE2 pack. The palace pack is I think 36 or 3700 and the MOLLE2 is like 5500. It's much larger. You can carry more. You can put your garbage bags in there. You can put your multiple types of Ziploc bags because you're going to be picking up stuff. It's going to have to be cleaned later on. So you may have a corpse that got killed in an explosion. And you've got parts of clothing stuck to or stuck in a magazine pouch. And you need to get that magazine and you need to get the ammo out of it and you need to pull it out and it's full of blood and flesh on it and you're pulling chunks of stuff out and you put it in your Ziploc bag and throw it in your backpack and leave. That's what we're talking about. And when you tell people this stuff, they're like, nah, that'll never happen. Well, they've already had in this war over in Ukraine over a million dead Ukrainian men. They say it's 650,000. I think it's probably double that. And that's what that place is. It's a zombie movie. And that's what it's going to be over here because these Democrats aren't going to let Trump in this time. Elon Musk shut down the satellites for these people to steal their election. And I don't care for Trump, okay? I don't. But we're living in a country where we're soon going to be able to have a catastrophe where these people preempt the loss of their election, they're going to preempt the collapse of the dollar, they're going to preempt the collapse of all these markets that are being held up with collateralized loan obligations that they can't maintain anymore at some point. You know what, they might as well just do it all in one big swell, you know, one big swoop. So if that's going to happen, all of it. before the election. You might want to get some of this stuff before it goes up. Which brings up another issue that you haven't talked about in a long time and I want to revisit this issue and I think we need to revisit the issue hot and heavy. And the issue I'm talking about which is something beyond camouflage is how, in addition to the camouflage you have, is how to defeat thermal. We've talked about this before it's not just about throwing on a those aluminum foil type pouches and Hoping that they don't detect you so this is a lot more. This is a lot of This is something that's going to have to be part of your loadout in addition to you having some kind of thermal detection as well some kind of unit, handheld unit, that you can bring up to your eye and look at the area and see if you see either troop movement, enemies, somebody that might be stalking you. They've got great camouflage and you can't see them and you can't detect them with your night vision at night. You've got to have thermal. And I'm not talking about like to be able to shoot them. I'm just talking about if you're starving and you need supplies and you need to go into an urban environment to get certain supplies to be able to maintain and survive, you're going to have to look at the area and see if there are other people there before you go into another area. So you're going to not only need to be able to detect motion by way of thermal, but you're also going to need to be able to not be detected by way of thermal as well. So that's something I want to read. Well, again, let's not forget, and I haven't had a chance to check myself to see what the inventories are out there. Most bow hunting, committed bow hunting sporting good shops. We here in Michigan, we have a bunch, that's all they do. They don't do any firearms, they do arrow. They do crossbow, they do recurve, and they do compound. Well, the thing is that they have all the other accoutrements. And one of the things that has traditionally been available is thermal reduction treatments. Now, for the longest time, there were four going on five different companies. Each one had a slightly different chemical process. Now, on this note, in Ohio, for the ATF, before the attack on the Branch Davidians, a custom ghillie suit manufacturer built those, built their sniper kits, the units that they actually used both before the attack, but also that they used during the siege. And when people argued that they could not be seen, but gunfire could be seen from a location with a thermal from overhead the last day, this individual, who is an ally, confirmed what it is that they used and how he treated. And basically what he did is he created a multi-tier treatment bath for different layers of the ghillie suit. It says they were built. The core component, which is the suit, which is in many cases a flight suit or a flight or a cover all type kit. Then the strata, the material that's used to hold it, that was used to use a separate saturation on that. And then the actual jute and cotton materials that were used to create the fluff. had yet another treatment and between them it literally was an invisibility screen. In fact, it's demonstrated from the air with modern cutting edge at that time, which is by the way now 30 years ago. So there's other technology better out there obviously. But understand that it defeated standard FLIR run by British SAS over top of the Branch Davidians. While the fire from the weapons that were applied in automatic fire against the Branch Davidians the last day, keep them in the burning building, the silhouettes and targeting of the individuals themselves was fogged. Now, Another thing on the new uniforms and equipment, which I was gonna bring up, but we were kind of, you know, we got off another angle. All of this equipment, everything, whatever it is, either the newest stuff that you're buying out there, guys, you need to walk out in front of thermal gear, just put it on and get it out there and as a team or a by yourself, look to see what it does. Now, let's remember something, that cloth is not mostly made in the United States anymore. Because of this, other synthetics, though typically it's, again, for standard uniforms, it's a mix of cotton polyester, sometimes with a stabilizing nylon. It depends on which country lays down which specification. American for the longest time was 50-50 cotton polyester blend. Now, that does work. And in fact, for the anti-thermal treatment, a higher level of absorbent cotton is preferred. When you do treat your equipment, it's only good for an average or estimated time span of approximately two years. Now, that was done with factory treatment, for instance, with the standard woodland camouflage pattern that came out with the PASGAT, the ALA system, and everything else to make a new post-war system for the Cold War. Private treatments, I don't know what the durability would be, but if we follow the instructions and we don't try to cut corners, it's a high probability that it should have a reasonable multi-seasonal survivability rating. The big thing though is, what about the materials we may be purchasing? Because if they are even perhaps going in the other direction, if you go 65-30, 65% polyester, 35% cotton, you have a more reflective uniform, a uniform that the plastics will be activated by illumination and lighting or secondary illumination. You see this with the worst extreme, which is if you go by what look like tactical ropes at tractor supply. Well, it says they're safety ropes. So just to give you an idea of what they even do with clothing and with cloth is if you take it out at night and just hit it with white light, you get a reflective response. Now, let's say you didn't have white light but have infrared. somebody can flash you, identify you, and you wouldn't have a clue that it's happened. Well, unless you're wearing night vision yourself. So both night vision has to be taken into consideration and thermal. Now, let's go back to the mylar. The mylar works, but the mistake this made is thinking that you're going to hold the mylar close to the body or drape it, making contact with the body. And this is where you have to be thinking ahead. Ideally, kind of like a chem suit, you want it to breathe, first of all. You need a certain amount of circulation. The videos you've been seeing on YouTube are disingenuous. And I have no confidence in the people that have done them. What I mean, why do I say that? Because if I had a thermal blanket, I know how to defeat the aggressor with the understanding that I have to take advantage of terrain. You don't stand in the middle of the stinking field, fool. If you're in the middle of a field in a tactical environment, you're in a wrong place. Does everybody understand that? Number two, when trying to escape and evade, I don't need to check on or see my enemy. The most common mistake made is where you have full thickness trees, lower plant growth, all kinds of other obstacles. You have to be thinking three dimensionally and you constantly have to think about putting objects between you and the suspected observation technology. Now, let me give you a case in point. We must have killed all the Afghans during our time in Afghanistan, right guys? Did we kill every last Afghan man and maybe most of the women out there? Of course, they weren't fighting, they were busy back home taking care of the families, making new Afghan fighters. Did we kill every Afghan over there? We had cutting edge state of the art. We were absolutely top end of the feeding chain. We're superior to the Chinese and the Russians. They copy what we have or they look at our seconds and they make their choice in design and development. So we did kill every last Afghan that appeared before us because we saw them way in advance. Wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense. Does anybody remember the ambush on SEAL Team 6? Anybody remember how they described it? I brought this up many times, okay? So the SEAL Team 6 is going as, of course, is typically the case. You have hills in Afghanistan. Duh! You have mountains in Afghanistan. So anyway, they're coming up on an approach and their thermal and their overhead cap, including all kinds of spook and coo technology, I mean, after all, they were the seals. They surveyed the area and they identified no ground contact personnel. They saw no aggressors. They came in, they zipped into the LZ, and out of nowhere, 200 aggressors are all firing their ass up on the enemy. All there just beating people up left and right. And the argument was that on top of everything else, that after the firefight was over, although the casualties are very high for the UCL team, they lost aircraft, they lost personnel, that, well, they didn't recover hardly any bodies. Now they claim that they must have killed 90 to 100 of the enemy, of the aggressor that the SEALs did and that the Air Force and the Army support and everybody did because you know they were dropping stuff from the sky, right? But they didn't have any bodies to recover. Now then they claimed that by the time they were done with wounded and casualties that two-thirds of the force on the ground was either critically injured or killed. That was their boast. Okay, so only a third of the troops were left, but you didn't recover hardly any weapons and you didn't recover any bodies. So what happened? Did the average Afghan resistance fighter grab a corpse and put him on each shoulder? Grab the extra 30, 40 pounds of just rifles laying around and mountain goat down the mountainside? Is that what happened? Wow, I'm impressed. Why are we hiring SEALs? We should go out and hire Afghan freedom fighters because the Afghan freedom fighters Well, they sound like we are in Schwarzenegger on steroids the SEALs got their ass kicked by low-tech and they had thermal heads cutting-edge thermal Cutting-edge night vision and they also had it from above So what is it that the Afghans had in the way of an advantage? What would that advantage be? Caves you know what go ahead go. Don't just get bored out guys. Go out. This is not the high school We're not gonna ridicule you all only ridicule a little go ahead You know I never do come on go ahead jump in there. What do you think their advantage was? animal skins You know well, that's an interesting idea, but they still thermal eyes and you'd be looking at things and how about this they? Understood that they were thinking as prey Rather than predators They were thinking as targets that were playing and not being targets. Well, anything and everything would help, but most important is this. When they move and they move with stealth, they think in terms of cover and concealment, but more important is concealment because if your enemy cannot see you, And this means that they're using their hearing and their vision to compensate for aggressive superiority in all aspects of technology. How about we throw in that then they also do use technology to block the signal. In other words, perfecting the combination of mechanisms that need to be in play and they're absolutely low tech. They don't have any big fleet of anything and they don't have big sugar data to the rear. What they did have was a thinking brain between their ears. Now surviving the battle feels like completely thinking through it on the three dimensional level and then he adds forth into time and distance, guys. It's war, both sides die. He should have killed all of the people in the brain. There's no right there where we left him, it's what you've already done for that round too. Sounds a problem? Oh by the way, Craig from Forbidden. Don't you touch that dial. Stick around. And we'll be back at 8 o'clock. Because tomorrow I'm setting up for DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia. I made it down to, I'm just north of Atlanta right now from Michigan, so it's an all-day trip. And a very nice trip. We have a lot of crazies on the road and only two slight backups, one in Boxville and one in Chattanooga, which are near their rush hour time, so it was expected. So this trip has been pretty uneventful, grateful for that. Pull over the side of the road, I'm about 45 minutes north of Atlanta at a truck stop and hopefully in the morning, because while I'm going to leave in the morning, I'll wheel be rush hour Atlanta, so it'll probably take me twice as long to get to the show and start setting up, but I don't have to be there any particular time. Anyway, DragonCon, if you all know what that is, they claim it's the largest Sci-fi show, I'm not sure if they use that title, but... Popular culture show in the universe, that's what I claim, but... You know, I see Comic-Con in California, and I'm as bigger. But it's a very large Comic-Con type show, science fiction show mainly. You get a lot of... Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who stuff, but anything relating to movies and TV pretty much goes. And a lot more than just that, you find... You can see here people dress up. They spend all year basically setting up to make the costumes. And some people will come in and they actually make three or four costumes and wear a different one each day. They get so involved in this. This network coming to visit me at DragonCon for a lot of reasons. But first of all, it's paying the butt to attend the show. It's so crowded. There's gonna be like 60,000 people here, I think. And it's very crowded and it's only, of course, people in Atlanta. A lot of people fly in even for this show, the customers. Plus it's not really related to what we do here on this network. I mean, be honest. It's mostly fun. It's not like a gun show at all. So anyway, but I know I know one person. I mean there was I have had people from this network come on DragonCon And one of them a lot of people may remember on this network a lot by the nickname of Fluffy. He used to come every year and hang around for a while and talk and chat and so I got to know him a bit. But so very very rarely do I get people from this network who listen to the show coming for DragonCon. But sometimes I do. Last year I had Canadian MREs. I was supposed to pick up a pallet of MREs today, but the deal fell through for now. I may be getting that pallet later in September. I don't know yet. But anyway, I thought I was going to get a pallet of MREs. And frankly, I don't even know if they're US or Canadian. I didn't know that information yet. Four ducks. But anyway, that didn't happen, but I got a whole lot of gas nests with me. I brought some ammo cans too, right? The first amount of ammo cans in the show, I don't expect to sell hard-meaning. Somebody say something there? Yeah, it's a... You mentioned Fluppy's name. I don't know if you're aware of this, but he passed. Yes, I do know. Okay. That's why I kind of said that for people who knew him. Yeah, and as far as people who listen to the network going to DragonCon, there's probably more there than you realize. You can't be probably not very many gold to it. Like I said, there's probably more than, you'd be surprised how many are probably there that do go to it. Some of them may actually even be vendors. I've talked about some of them before. There's a big swath of the comic book industry. And the retail end, the guys who are into selling comic books and are into the gaming scene. who don't like the woke crap anymore than the rest of us do and they talk out about it all their time on their channels. They're very pro-patriot. I wouldn't put them down and say that they wouldn't don't show up to DragonCon. You're just probably not aware that they're there. Well, you're probably right, but they don't say hi. They don't come and visit. Of course, there's somebody who enters there and they get lost in the shuffle. I think I would also... They're also they're not you know to be political which is one of the big things that they have griped with Comic books and movie industry is being turned into political messages They'd rather just have their entertainment and enjoy it, you know, not have a message forced down their throats I'm pretty sure I don't know. I'm pretty sure he's supposed to be there. But just some guy might be at Dragon Con this year Don't know It's the toughest come every year. And I think I would call two other times meeting somebody there that mentioned the literature radio. So that's my memory. I've been going there for about maybe 12 to 15 years or something like that. I've been doing the show regularly. I didn't even really want to do it this time because I'm so busy at the property working. I can get into that if we get that far tonight. And but I if I if I miss a year it could be hard to get back in could be hard to get back in depending what's going on in the world at the time, but there was a waiting list to get in initially and so it was a little difficult to get in and if I if I miss a year or two then it could be hard to get back in kind of like Knob Creek was the machine gun shoot Knob Creek was an eight-year waiting list to get in as a vendor and I was a regular vendor, but boy took a long time to about eight years to begin as a regular. I can still go in as a fill-in. And so that's a different story. That one, and like all gun shows, you talk about not liking political. Well, gun shows are very political, but they're only political in the direction that most patriots would be conducive to or favorable for. Whereas DragonCon might be political in the other direction. So it, but it really depends on your political slant, but gun shows are very political, much more political than, uh, than Dragon Con or Comic Cons. Just in the different, it's really depends on your bet, but you did, I don't see much politics there, frankly. I still put out my things on the table that are, uh, political relating to mostly to gun shows, because I don't do any other types of shows that work, wouldn't be of that type of political slant. But, and it usually draws, I mean things like I got these stickers, one of the old jokes I did, I got these, you know those stickers they would put on the gas pumps two or three years ago, they said, a picture of Biden pointing, he said, I did that, pointing at the price of the gas. I had a bunch of those stickers, and I also have another one where Trump is pointing and saying Biden did that. Anyway, I bought a bunch of those stickers and I'm giving them away, selling them, whatever, at the show. And I put prices on my items. For instance, on a radiological survey meter, I would show on there, I put this sticker on there with Biden stickers saying, I did this. And the price is $60. Or, no, was $60, now $67. And Biden did that. I know you're not familiar with it, but there is a political side to the comic book thing. I'm just going to say some guys names. You can check them out on YouTube or Rumble, The Quartering, Nerd Roddick. Let's see, Doomcock, but they've made him change his username on YouTube to Overlord. And there are several others, but if you really, it's You want to start some interesting conversations with people down there that get political when you're talking in Comic-Con. Those are some names to bring up because in that venue they're the ones on the political right of the comic book side. And what would you describe their political beliefs as? Freedom of speech. They don't want local crap in their media. They're more pro freedom of speech without the message of, you know, you got to be Every white guy's race is involved. You can watch their videos. I mean, I've mentioned a few and we posted them in the Guilded over on Liberty Tree Radio and in the Discord before. Some of them are a little more less gleaning than us, but they still see the same problem with the woke thing. Clownfish is not somebody I usually agree with, but they fully find themselves fighting more and more to the right. Yeah, I don't recognize any of the names, so that's why I was asking. Yeah, well, like I said, it's not an area that, you know, is necessarily your interest. I know you're into sci-fi and whatnot, but these are all coming from the comic book cartoon side. Jess from Guy, he does really good commentary. He's a big token fan. He's a black guy about my age. Yeah, it took me a long time to... many years, and I still don't know half the costumes that I've seen there, to be honest with you. And of course, some of the costumes people just make completely up on their own, and so it might not be anything, and that's why I don't know. But I don't know a lot of popular culture with this. It took me a couple years, so I knew who the Fallout guys were based on the video game. I mean, that is definitely related to what I do. And so, a lot of these costumes, I just don't get. They go out by me and, okay, it's interesting, but I don't know what it is. But last year, there was a lot of new kind of new, I can recognize, even though I have no idea, I've never seen Barbie. There are a lot of Barbies. I can tell that all of a sudden, there's these new crowds coming in. They're all Barbies. There's probably a dozen of them that walked by my table last year. And so, of course, that's not really science fiction. Well, I get it. I don't know. Science fiction is just fiction. It's not science. But any, first thing I should mention, anything goes. I don't listen. When I go on YouTube, I don't really have much time to spend on YouTube. Sorry, my voice is kind of messing up here. I don't have much time to spend on YouTube to watch things like that that don't... educate me as far as what I think I want to know about what's going on in the world. For instance, I'm going to throw out a bunch of names here now myself, name dropping. One of the shows that I listen to pretty regularly on YouTube, and some of you may recognize this name because even before YouTube he was fairly famous in the Patriot community, and that's Judge Napolitano. At first, Judge Napoliti- just the word Judge, I mean very leery of the guy at first because anybody who's a judge is really part of the system and anyway he was a judge, he's not anymore, but when you listen to some of his shows that he does on his own, he really does sound like he talks the good talk. And his show, I'm gonna name drop, virtually anything that he puts on that show, If you're interested in geopolitics, what's going on in the world, I think you ought to listen to the channel and some of the names that he has on his channel. These names I want to mention now are his guests. He has on virtually every week. So you can tune into it any time and you can listen to any of these guests just about any week. And they always have fairly, it's all new content. They always repeat the same thing. Although things that are going on do get repeated. Because it's like okay, Ukraine's losing and they're gonna lose and Russia's gonna win eventually and they're gonna have to surrender and they're gonna have to come to talks or Yahoo is gonna lose also. He's already lost. He's in a bad situation and then he's just going through the motions But the whole world the community is gonna be against him and this is the kind of narrative you're gonna get on that channel The opposite of what the mainstream is throwing at you basically and here are the names Because I took a quick look at his channel. And these are the names of people that I really like the most. And I've mentioned them before on that channel. And they're on other channels too. Most of these guests you can see, you can hear on other channels as well on YouTube. And probably on Twitter and other places too. I don't know. I don't tweet either. The two most... the ones that I would recommend the most... Scott Reeder was a former weapons inspector back during the Iraq deal and Colonel Douglas McGregor, he was a military advisor for Donald Trump. Now, most of the names I'm going to list here are ex-military or ex-CIA somebody who really does have possible connections that they can still refer to and get some more information that you and I probably don't get. I can't say that all of them tell the truth all the time, but they all seem to be in general agreement with Natalie Scott Reeder and Douglas McGregor. But they all have the same sort of conclusion, and it's all what you're not hearing on the mainstream. So the names I've written down here that I've looked at. Larry Johnson, he's ex-CIA. Jeffrey Sachs, I think he's Professor. Professor Jeffrey Sachs, I believe he's Professor. Ray McGovern, John Mearsheimer, Alistair Crook, Ray Wilkerson, Garen Matade, Max Blumenthal, Karen Kowalski. Anyway, these are some of the names that he has on his show virtually every week that I would recommend you if you believe that if for some reason you are pro-Israel, Or let's say pro-Zionists. Or if you're, for some reason listening to them, as I doubt most of you are, but if you are, for some reason you're pro-network, pro-Israel, because maybe you're Jewish, and if you're Jewish you probably tend to be pro-Israel, but maybe you don't, because a lot of Jews aren't pro-Zionists either. Anyway, if you're pro-Israel, or if you think Ukraine is, by invading the cursed region of Russia here in the last few weeks if you think that that's a wonderful thing and everything's going wonderfully because you listen to mainstream None of the one you're gonna listen to what those names that I told you are gonna agree with your point of view whatsoever, but I would Suggest you listen to different points of view to make a more educated opinion. That's my that's my recommendation to you So I would tune in once in a while and if you just go to this one channel all these names are on there judge Nepal time Oh That's the channel to go to. I think it's called Judging Freedom is the name of this channel. Judge Napolitano, Judging Freedom. You enter that into the search bar on YouTube and it will come right up. And look at his channel and start looking at some of these people. Jeffrey Sachs, Larry Johnson, Ray McGovern, John Mearsheimer, Alistair Crook, Scott Ritter, Carl Douglas McGregor, Ray McGovern. Karen Matade, Max Blumenthal, Karen Kowalski, and I have one more name here that I would highly recommend you listen to if you are for some reason, let's say you're Jewish and you are pro-Israel Zionism. If you're pro-Israel no matter what, like our mainstream media wants us to believe we need to be. If for some reason you're pro-Israel, I would recommend you also listen to Norm Finkelstein, I can't remember how his name is pronounced. Norm Finkelstein, he's an actual Jew, but he talks against Zionism. And he, in fact his parents were, I don't think he was old enough to be in a concentration dance, but his parents were in a concentration dance in Germany. So he's speaking from some sort of background, I don't think he's a professor as well. He's somebody I would recommend you listen to as well. There aren't too many of the anti-Zionist people that I can recommend right off the top of my head. But Norm Finkelstein is one that I would recommend you listen to if you're believing the mainstream narrative about how wonderful the Yahoo is and his Benny Gantz and all the people that are around him. But you can also find him in debates where he's debating people that are pro-Israel. And he does a wonderful job as far as I'm concerned. He does a wonderful job. He's a little hard to listen to because he talks so slowly. But YouTube has a feature. If you don't know this, YouTube has a feature. If you click on a little gear down on the video somewhere on the screen, you can actually speed up the video. Or it doesn't send the voice into a higher pitch, but you can... One-fourth is one four four times the speed or one time speed or one half speed you could even speed it up with it because he does talk rather slowly a little annoying with him, but But you can always speed it up if it gets too annoying if he talks too slowly for you It runs against him when he's obeying somebody because people run to interrupt him and run circles around him, but he's good at bringing it back on topic and showing how they've interrupted him and even how he's how they're wrong and what they're speaking of. Anyway, some nerve fickle scene. Listen to him too, please. If you don't already know what's really going on there, yeah, in a nutshell, Israel, Israel has already lost. They haven't made any real gains against Hamas. You can't destroy an idea. Hamas is more of an idea than an organization. If you killed every Hamas, which is what they think they... They want to do every Hamas member. The idea is still there. They don't either call it Hamas or something else, but it is still there. Israel is still doing the same damn thing. They're mowing the law. They refer to as mowing the law, meaning they're going to kill a bunch of people on occasion. They've been doing this for decades. There will never be peace in Israel, in the Middle East. Israel wouldn't even exist without us, the US. It literally would not exist without us. Israel would have been destroyed long ago. And they may still be destroyed coming up here. Because can we really fight all the enemies of Israel, which is growing by the week? Not only Iran and Hezbollah and Hamas and Yohudi. Turkey and Egypt and all the other countries surrounding Lebanon and Syria These are all enemies that are gonna someday rise up and say enough is enough you need to go And even a lot of the insiders in Israel have been saying BB has to go BB is the nickname if you don't know of Benjamin Netanyahu a nickname of him in Israel Yeah, BB's gotta go and hey BB If you bring down the host, what happens to the parasite? Think about that. We may not survive this along with Israel. Our economy may be in shatters and tables, shattered. If we support Israel in an all-out war, it's about ready to come, it looks like. Hopefully it doesn't come, but it looks like it's going to come. The Coconut Lady is just on a Biden agenda, no change there. And the Orange Man is going to be the exact same thing, maybe even worse. There's going to be no change whether you vote for Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Doe. We're still going to be supporting Israel no matter what. Unless somebody makes a change, unless something happens, that's still going to be the case come November, after the November election, come January. You can bank on that. Unless something major happens where one of the two candidates actually does some kind of reversal, they may talk of a little bit of a talk, but they aren't going to do anything. And so we're being drawn into this. And our aircraft carrier groups in the Red Sea and the Mediterranean are sitting ducks. If Iran decides to use some hypersonic missiles, or Hezbollah, they're close enough to the Mediterranean. If they shoot some missiles that are aircraft carriers that can't be shot down by our Patriot and other systems, you can say goodbye to some aircraft carriers. Each aircraft carrier has close to 5,000 people on it, and about 10,000 people in the aircraft carrier group. So it's going to be hard to sink an aircraft carrier. with just one missile, but they can certainly disable it. All you have to do with an aircraft carrier is put a missile through the deck, and you've disabled that aircraft carrier. You might as well call it dead. You don't even have to sink it. All you have to do is put a missile through the deck until they can repair it to where they can get planes launched. That aircraft carrier is done. Might as well leave the area. But our aircraft carriers are sitting ducks. The old aircraft carrier idea That's a World War II idea which doesn't really apply anymore like it used to. In modern warfare with drones and missiles, ballistic missiles, aircraft carriers are obsolete. Yet we pretend like they're going to be our savior. Oh boy, I'm hoping I'm sitting... It's in the 90s here, folks. It's in like mid-90s all the way down here, in fact. My air-admission works luckily in this truck. Then I park next to another truck. I'm in the shade right now, but he's coming back. Looks like some of his laundry is done. I'm going to leave with his laundry. So I'm going to give you a single love. He's coming back. Anyway, hopefully he doesn't move. His son's getting well enough for a rent. I don't want people to be in the shade soon anyway. So anyway, Israel is done. Israel is never going to survive this. The next two or three years, Israel will be such a pariah that no country's going to want to trade their economies and shambles. And they're going to bring us out. And if we get involved in this more, they're going to bring us down too. We can't build the bombs and missiles fast enough to keep them going for an endless war in Israel or Gaza or West Bank or Syria or Lebanon or wherever else they decide to bomb Iran. Iran and Hezbollah are formal. They can bring down Israel all by themselves. They don't need help. They can bring down Israel. Israel needs help. Somebody face over there? Yeah, it's it. Now, I was saying, we could build them fast enough if we were actually building them here if we actually had the manufacturing facilities that we used to have. Everybody thinks we just got to gear up and turn those factory stuff on in Michigan. Craig, you've driven through Flint, Michigan. The world's largest auto plant that used to be right there off the freeway is Wada Pancake. They used to build a lot of things in black cars and... Those factories in Flint, those large factories didn't just do cars. They did air... In time of war, which is what they were built for, they were built with military money, remember? Just like Tucker's. auto plants that he put up the government's ridiculous. They were built to do pretty much anything and everything that they needed to do. They could be converted for that. But name one place in the US where we have manufacturing at that scale anymore. Well, we used to, again, in Dearborn and La Bona area, but that's not pretty much the one in the theater. You used to. Gone. There ain't that much there anymore. We've got some, I think Michigan has some battery factories that they've made a deal with, but they're not US, they're Chinese. They're even finding the land over to China, which is really freaking stupid, and making a little enclave of, you know, the people's Republic of China and Michigan. And Michigan's not the only place that's done that. So that money's not going to Michigan. Those manufacturing plants are not government controlled. They are Chinese controlled. And if the Chinese thought we were going to do that, they shut those plants down. Well, it doesn't make any sense to you, Ryan, but it makes a lot of sense to the people who were intentionally trying to turn this company into a one world socialist totalitarian government where, to bring our country down to where the Chinese or some other nation could basically rule over us or the whole world could be equal. So it makes a lot of sense to those people. So when you understand a further agenda, that all starts making more sense. Because yeah, we became, we were a manufacturing economy years ago when I was younger, but now we're just a service economy. We're getting a major core. One thing that Trump has right when he talks about stuff on state, it's regulations. We have regulated our industrial might into non-existence, where we don't make our tanks. We go to Egypt and other foreign countries in the Middle East. The countries in the Middle East we want to get into conflict with. There's a reason why Iran is like top of the drone field. It's not that they have product technology, it's that all of our technology that was involved with the drones has gone to China, to Iran, to, I think, what's the other one that's over there that's got a lot of, I mean, I think, Russia. No, not Russia. Even Russia's going to these small countries because they have slave labor and the corporations like the slave labor, that's The reason why the Democrats want to let in the illegals from the South, the Dems have always been for slavery. When the blacks were going for their independence, who was it who went against them? It was a Democratic party in the South that didn't really want to see that happen yet. And when everybody makes a big deal out of Juneteenth down here in Texas, you do a little research on that. Why that was the case down here in Texas. Well, the people of Texas didn't find out that they were emancipated until, well, almost a year ago. I'm not sure. I'd have to take a look at it. But it was almost a year later or longer that they found out. And whose fault was that? Oh, it was a Democratic party down here in Texas. The Dems have a long history of, you know, saying one thing and doing another. And the wave of people coming across the border, the ones that aren't of military age, they're just an ex-slave waiver group. The Dems excuse for letting them in across the border is that they'll do jobs that Americans won't do, which is BS. They'll do jobs that Americans won't do. They'll do them for cheaper and off the books, which means they don't have to pay for them, which basically makes them what? Greg, they're slaves. If they stand up and say anything about it, they can be deported. It's just a new form of slavery in the US. And it's being pushed by the Democratic Party. And to summarize, I summarized the Israel situation. Basically, Israel is going to be done. A lot of people who go out to the country and don't have much of a chance of going back until this is over with, and basically it won't be over with. Unless Israel decides to cease fire and apologize and that's never going to happen. The goal of Israel, no matter what they tell you, no matter what the Yahoo says coming out as well, the real goal of Israel, of the Zionists I should say, is to drive every Arab, every Muslim out of the whole land of Israel between the river and the sea. That would include the Golan Heights, the West Bank, and Gaza. That is their goal. If they can't drive them out, which they aren't driving them out, they're killing them right now, but no country wants to take them, so the only other option now is to kill them all. And that's what you're seeing happening here. So that's good. Real quick, to back you up on that, if they were serious about getting those hostages back, every time they have somebody they're talking to, would you kill them? I mean, you're negotiating to get prisoners back and you kill the guy who has your contact. Right. He must be getting too close to the actual solution, so they had to get rid of him. So yeah, Israel, all the talks are fruitless. I don't know when Iran's going to strike. Everybody still thinks that, everybody. But all the people, the names that I mentioned there, they also think Iran is going to strike, as they're doing it in their own time, obviously, because it's been about almost a month now, I think. since they killed that chief negotiator in Tehran. Iran is still going to strike back. My recommendation, if you have to move here to my shelf, here is my best recommendation how I think Iran should handle this so it doesn't escalate because Iran doesn't want a full-scale war. Iran has actually been very reasonable. The air country has been bombed, attacked, air flights flown against it, and other than this missile attack that we saw recently, they really haven't done any large scale resistance against it, you know? Like, okay, well, it might have been, okay, yeah, we'll take it to, we'll take you to the world court, okay. But eventually it's gonna get to a point, it's just like the thing with the Hezbollah, the Hezbollah people that supposedly they're trying to negotiate with. If you keep sending leaders in to negotiate with them and they keep killing your leaders, eventually you don't send leaders anymore and there is no negotiation, it's battlefield. Negotiations is all you're gonna get. negotiations at the end of the barrel because that's what they're already doing. And we likely will not be able to help Israel to defeat not only the Gazans, but I mean, what kind of war is that where these people have handguns and some small munitions against tanks and things and jet fighters and bombs from overhead. What kind of war is that? It's just slaughter. It's just genocide. If you can even believe that, you know, supposedly even the tactical raid on December 7th that breached the border is still, I believe that's a false flag right there. It was done by Israel because otherwise they have a border wall. They have tanks that patrol that border. They have air patrols along that border. They have, what is it, 2,500 troops that patrol that border. But miraculously on that day, all but a couple of the tank crews had the day off. The border wall security team that would normally be there was sent to the wrong location. And gliders defeated their air force and their iron dome. Yeah, they stood down for about eight hours. And, of course, now we know that Israelis actually killed a lot of their own people. That number you keep hearing about how many people Hamas killed, a lot of them were killed by the eye of Israeli forces, and not by Hamas. The most damning thing that they've tried to shut up about, and it was caught in the news because news reporters were moving with the Israelis as embedded soldiers. You know, embedded media with the Israeli military where they came up on the group of five guys who were shirtless, their arms up, they were screaming that they were hostages, that they were trying to get home, and they were grateful and they got gunned down by the Israeli forces. Yeah, it's more atrocity after another one. And they only ever look into it, and then you never hear anything about it, of course. They never do look into it, because they do it on purpose. They're killing people on purpose. They want everybody out. Everybody dead or everybody out. That's the goal. No matter what he says, that's the true goal. Get rid of all the Arabs or Muslims or else be completely under control of them at all times. They can only kill them any time they want. That's the goal. It's like hand down there's not even any argument over that. And then the Houthis are another thing. I mean, okay. A ragtag bunch with some cheap missiles, some rockets that are creating havoc for the entire shipping industry in the Red Sea. And how have we stopped them? We've bombed them. The British have bombed them. Have we controlled the area? Have we stopped them? Of course not. We are no match for these people that had warfare in this way where he agrees with an old-style warfare. This is the hoodie we are winning over the biggest, supposedly the best military in the world. Well, you know, that again, that whole situation with the hoodie pirates, is call them to question because what they're attacking is the aid that's supposed to be coming into Gaza. The aid that would be going to them is being attacked by them. Now, I don't believe that, but if that is the case, you know, we used to have this policy that when we were, when other countries were in foreign entanglements, we'd stay out of it, sit back, and we might give a little bit of humanitarian aid, but if they don't want it, You know, if we backed off on both sides, how long would this conflict last? If we let Iran, since they want to claim that Iran's a proxy, if we let Iran and Israel go at it, what difference would that make to us over here? Italy or what? They want to get us on fossil fuels anyway, and the fossil fuels are coming out of Iran supposedly, and Venezuela. We're getting tire oil from Venezuela. But if we let the Middle East alone, Especially since, according to Biden and all the people on the left, we don't meet the royal. Why do we need a friend over there like Israel who's bleeding us dry in the first place? One phone call from our cadet room chief, one phone call, can put into this, the Yahoo. All he has to do is call him up and say, hey, no more bombs. We're not going to send you money anymore. Good luck, dude. And that would be the end of it. And that would be the end of Israel actually, because then all the individual enemies would take advantage of that if we don't defend Israel, and Israel would be destroyed. They're going to be destroyed anyway, it sure looks like, but even with our help, they're going to be destroyed. Now, let's hope that they don't employ the Samson option, which basically means that if we're going down, we're going to bring everybody down with us, and that would be nuclear weapons more than likely. Let's hope they don't do that. But even then, Turkey has been promised by Pakistan, which does have nuclear weapons, that Turkey can use that has availability of Pakistani nuclear weapons. That's one of the things that you won't hear in the mainstream. None of the other countries, Iran, could have a weapon very quickly. In a matter of weeks, from everything I've researched about this, they could have one in a matter of weeks, and maybe they're working on it, I don't know. But they could have one in a matter of weeks. Now, in the past, Israel has always bombed and killed all their nuclear scientists, they've been doing that for a couple decades now, to try to keep them from going. That they know of. You know, I'm going to say that they know of, because any small country, with the US, Russia, China having nukes, Any small country would be foolish not to have an integral program of their own. Just as a bargaining chip on the table. You know, I really don't care. If we can have toys like that, they can have toys like that to defend themselves with. Why not? Especially just to keep people from messing with them, which most of them, that's all they're doing, is stay out of our territory, we'll stay out of yours, treat with us fairly as fine. Instead, they've got these people with nuclear power holding over their head, forcing them into bad deals. And a lot of it is bad deals for them. And granted, we've gotten some good shit out of having that nuclear button to hold over people's heads. But that's a bully's position. And, of course, we are the only ones that actually use nuclear weapons in warfare. And so, should we have nuclear weapons? I mean, I'm just throwing that out there. Well, we can't afford it. Did not let anybody else have nuclear weapons? That's kind of a pain in itself. Well, like I said, it did end the war. It did end World War II, and the war was Japan. It did what it was supposed to. Initially they thought it was a bluff. They didn't think we had another bomb, so we had to drop another one, but it ended the war. And yeah, it was that bomb. You cannot claim that that bomb was targeted purely at military targets. Those bombs were targeted at civilian population centers. And it did a devastating blow. It did what it was supposed to do to end the war, but we never should have been in that war in the first place. Yeah, and a little bit of history that I have found over my years of researching this, and I'm just going to throw this off to you. Some of you may not believe we're on the stand. We were drawn into it on false pretenses. We knew the Japanese were going to attack. Because FDR was running on a platform of no involvement in the war, isolationism, that's what we were trying to do in World War I as well, but they got us involved in both of those. And that's what's going to happen with Israel, by the way. They're going to get involved in something major that's going to happen, like an aircraft carrier hit by a missile, then all of a sudden all American people rah, rah, rah, and they're going to put flags on their antennas in their car, and here we go again, going to war again. But, you know, aircraft carrier is slow, it's sluggish, but it's not absolute obsolete for its mission purpose. And aircraft carrier on its own is obsolete, but it's part of the battle group, Craig. The aircraft carrier alone is not what gives our Navy its power, it gives our Navy an air force. But now we're making smaller aircraft carriers because we're not launching as many manned planes anymore. We're launching more drones. We got these speedboat things that are about the size of a destroyer. No, not a destroyer. Come on, what are they? The small export ships that can launch the drones and they make packages for them out of parallel containers that you can swap out. The emissions package, depending on the mission, everything from sonar sub-destroying packages to drone launching packages to Patriot missile, Told missile, whatever you want to put in it. It's a shipping container that has that on board that it opens up and congratulations, the ship is now equipped with it. Wow. I've been, I visited some aircraft carriers over the years and I've remember one of them, I think it might have been the US was at, let me think here, Yorktown I think in South Carolina. No, wait, I don't know, I may have that wrong. But anyway, I've visited one in Charleston and actually had a B-25 in there, a Mitchell's. That's a twin engine, a small bomber. It's a smaller version of a B-24 basically. I don't remember if they told me, because I asked about it, I didn't realize you could land or take off on a B24 out of this. You could either land or take off. I can't remember. I couldn't do both. I can't remember which now. I'd have to go back and look. But they could either land a B25 or they could take off. They can't do both. So it was like a one-way trip for the B25. One way or the other, I can't remember which. Anyway, and interestingly enough, and you may have seen this a lot, where you used to live in Dexter, Michigan, and I think there's still a guy flying a B-25 around that he owns around the Ann Arbor area, and they're doing it for a long time. Yes. You know what you're talking about. I can't think of his name right now, but I've been in his hangar. I don't know if he's still doing it, but I think as soon as about five years ago, I still saw it flying around. Well, you know the funny thing you talk about aircraft being obsolete, okay? The military has said that prop planes are obsolete and that we're never going to need a prop aircraft again. Have you seen the latest, greatest new plane that the military has finally gotten an anthem? It's a foreign maker. It's a single plane gun? What? The person for the ATR Hornthog? I don't know if they're going to claim the thing as replacing the H.N. Warthog. If they are, that's hilarious. Dad brought it up. I posted the link to the Guilded for it. I posted it in the picture. It is a crop duster, Craig. There's no way that thing is armored up as much as an A-10. A-10 is like a, it is quote unquote, a flying tank. But even when you call something a flying tank, it's not really that heavily armored. You can't put a whole lot of armor on an aircraft vehicle and expect it to get very firey. And all the more weight you add, it's the less time in the air. Yeah, it's kind of a small one, it's basically just a flying machine gun for large rounds for what, 120? I think 120s or I mean, pretty well. My uncle buddy down here used to work on a 10. I think I was gonna tell him about a machine gun in the, yeah, 30 millimeter, or a 20 millimeter machine gun in the nose, I'm not sure. It was a giant Gatling gun, basically. It has other weapons that can have as its payload. But still, it's more than most jets, but it can take more hits than most jets. It's like a hind, calling a hind a flying tank. It is kind of comparable. They can take a lot of hits, a lot more hits than a regular helicopter can, but it's still just a, it's a really big hit in the right place, it's gonna come down. I think they still use the ospreys, are those propellers though? Yeah, those death machines. Actually, I heard they were trying to phase us out now because they've had so many unfortunate accidents with those, where the propeller blades when they come down, they go well below the aircraft. You can't safely crash land that plane with the blades in the down position, that actual plane mode. So you almost never see them flying in plane mode. They'll always see them in the, either 45-4 or straight up, flying in helicopter mode. You'll almost never see them fly that way. Most of the pilots don't want to fly them that way because if they do crash, if anything happens, those blades come right through the cockpit. Yeah, I don't know much about military hardware, but I know a few things as I visit a lot of the things and same with naval I don't know a lot about naval I've been in battleships and aircraft. The Osprey was supposed to replace the ship but not that. The Chinook. I did the other term is the pilot's use. But the Chinook, what the Osprey was supposed to replace is a quick drop vehicle. You know, and the idea of it being able to move forward faster than the helicopter when it's in plane mode, blah blah blah blah blah, but they never use it that way. They've never really used it that way in combat. If they have, somebody pointed out to me and showed us, because I have never seen any footage of them actually using that in airplane mode in a combat situation. It's always in the helicopter mode. Let me hear this. Let me change the topics here a little bit, because I also wanted to get a, for those of you who don't know, I can repeat those names I guess before I go, as far as Ukraine goes and Russia, I'm going to summarize also what I've learned over listening to all these people for so long now about Ukraine and, because I had it wrong in the beginning, I mean, mainstream media giving us a completely distorted story of what actually reality on the ground is. And about a year and a half ago, I started learning that they were just completely lying to us when they kept talking about a resurgence or whatever they called it, where supposedly Ukraine is going to come back to life somehow. And that didn't happen. And even this thing that happened in Russia now with the Krust region, I think everybody in the room probably knows that Iraq, Iran, Iran, not Iraq. Ukraine has invaded Russia, basically, but in essence it's really NATO, and that's the danger here. It's not just Ukraine that did it, but there's other involvement here, not only in the planet, but execution of it as well, and all the military equipment. So now we have a situation where if Putin wanted to take it that way that he could take it that NATO was actually attacking him and he could go to war with the entirety of NATO if he wanted to. He could do that anyway, but he would have justification for it now after this latest thing that happened in the cursed region of Russia. Now, they used about, they were between 8 and 10,000 troops going in so far in there but about half of them have already been killed and most of the equipment has been destroyed. They went in there and the Russians are blocking off the entrance where they came in so they can't escape either. So anything that's gone in there is basically going to be destroyed. Well, there are no hurry to do it. Russia has no hurry to do it. They have the upper hand on this big time. Even though the press makes it sound like, oh yeah, we got the upper hand. The Ukrainians have the upper hand. You have to support the Ukrainians at any cost on the mainstream media. The Ukrainians have the upper hand. This is what we need for negotiation and blah, blah, blah. No, they're all going to be killed. The equipment's going to be destroyed and they're all going to be killed. Probably nobody's going to escape. They'll all be captured or killed. So... Don't listen to what the mainstream media is telling you. Do a little bit of research. And I'm going to list those names again. The main channel you should listen to, the easiest way to get to all these names is Judge Napolitano's channel called Judging Freedom on YouTube. Judge Napolitano, Judging Freedom. And I know you'll hear people, and Scott Reeder for instance, the first name that, well the first name to recommend, he's been attacked by the FBI on several accounts now. They've raided his home, they've seized his passport. He's still not in jail, not in prison, but he's still talking, same talk exactly before they did all this stuff to him. So when somebody's being attacked like that, it's probably something that you ought to listen to that person. Anyway, Scott Reiner, Carl Douglas McGregor, Jeffrey Sachs, Mary Johnson, Ray McGovren, John Mearsheimer, Alistair Crook, Ray Wilkerson, Aaron Matai, Max Blumenthal, And Colonel Karen Kowalski and another one you should listen to who's not on that channel if you want to know about the Israel situation from the Palestinian from a let's say a pro-Palestinian side even though he's Jewish is Norm Finkelstein. So that's my recommendation people you ought to listen to. If you don't agree with all the things I said tonight about Israel or about Ukraine and Russia you need to go back and listen to some of those people. And there's probably a lot of others too but those are the ones that I've got. that I've been listening to, that's a wide brush of different people that, and they're all basically saying close to the same thing in the end. And it doesn't grow the level of conspiracy theories either. When they don't know, they say they don't know of uncertain things. They just say, well, I don't have information on that. Let's take them for their word on that, or whatever. It doesn't seem like they're making anything up like an Alex Jones mic to sell more, to get more hits or sell more products. It doesn't seem to be that way. Anyway, I'd recommend you check that out, judging the Politanos channel called Judging Freedom on YouTube. But yeah, Ukraine is lost. I think they're going to try to drag it on as long as they can. Well, through the election, they're going to try to drag it through to the election, I believe, is what they're probably going to do. But it's already been over with for Ukraine. They don't have the manpower, like the resources, like Russia does. We're sending them all kinds of money and all this equipment is just getting destroyed. They need men. They don't need equipment, so they need equipment too, and bombs and artillery. But what they really need is people. And they just don't have it. Their country is small compared to Russia. Russia's gotten almost unlimited. They have plenty of people in the military now and they're volunteering even. So this is a dead issue for Ukraine. They're calling it, yeah, man, we're going to cut and run. Just like we always do. Just withdraw and we don't have anything much to withdraw but we'll stop spending the money and pretend like all just never happened. Just like we always do. That's what the US does. Our foreign policy sucks. Always has. Well, not always, but has for all my lifetime. It sucks. My opinion is, and certainly you'll never hear any politician say that, we need to stop sending money to other countries. Who's Israel? Stop sending the money. Stop sending the weapons. Sell them weapons if you want. Don't just give it to them. Sell them to them so our economy is boosted a little bit. Let them kill themselves. Get all our troops back home, close down all our 700 plus military bases all around the world, the ones that aren't in the U.S. Close all our military bases down, bring all our troops home, protect our own borders, and mind our own business. Put the CIA on a leash. Keep us out. We don't need to be conquering other, subversively conquering other or influencing elections all over the world. Mind our own business. Our country is being destroyed by these people. We're becoming an enemy of the entire world, little by little. More and more are becoming an enemy of the world. And a lot of times they only put up with it because we sent our money over there. Needs to stop. Of course, I'm not a politician running for office. Because obviously I would never win by that kind of rhetoric. Mainstream media would destroy me. So anyway, I thank everybody for listening to me on this end of August heatwave here. Come see me at DragonCon if you want. ForbidKnowledge.info or the prepper stop at the comments of my websites. Thanks everybody for listening. Until next time, we'll see if I can get on here at least a couple of times a month. With how busy I am until winter time. So long. 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, the brave. You vie 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 Satan's 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 and dead. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report I'm our Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Southeast, Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we're on satellite. We'll see, hide all our merchant marine operators out there. Marrow, pottery of water you are resting on right now. Could be ocean, inland sea, great lakes, canals, channels, rivers, puddles. Harborage, Anchorage, facilities of whatever kind or dry dock for that matter. We appreciate the fact that you are rebroadcasting first listening then rebroadcasting as possible and that's all happening on analog and digital. And we're on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States and it is Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 28th of August. It will ever be another one again for 2024. It is the 28th of August, 16th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. 2024, Old Earth calendar, I'm giving to Olshas, Gut Captain. 2024 Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords. Let the dance continue. We're gonna make sure that happens. We'll be playing the music, we determine the tune, and the plan is to win. Don't you ever forget that. Remember, prior prepper planning prevents piss poor performance. Our goals get on top of the bad guy and beat their hind and down completely. They're thinking about doing the same, so we better get there first and we better make sure we get there with the most. Where we need it, when we need it. So, Weapons Wednesday does directly tie into logistics. And logistics is the critical issue out there with regard to the battlefield that we're facing. We need it where it's needed, which means that redistribution It doesn't happen after the shooting starts. It's already taken place. We've already prepared our areas of operation and we are ready to fight in those areas of activity that we're committed to. So you need to make sure that you square your technology away first time every time. We've been talking during the tour block about everything from web gear to coloration to protective slash defensive policies with thermal and night vision. So guys, we need to be working on that. Something again to remember is low tech almost always beats high tech. In fact, low tech solutions are typically the way that a high tech problem is dealt with. And again, let me point something out. We did kill all of the Afghanis while we were there. We're the top dog. We're the top of the feeding chain. I would assume that when we went to, or should say when we left Afghanistan, there were nothing but corpses left behind by us, right? Because we were totally dominant, we had total control of the battlefield, we, no we didn't. Matter of fact, just reverse was the case. Our aggressor, or should say we were the aggressor, we invaded their country, they didn't invade ours. When operating over there, we had all the bells and whistles, thermal, overhead satellite, overhead high, medium, low altitude capabilities, and yet we were not able to eradicate the aggressor that we were facing in the field. Why is that? Well, it almost like they were doing something right. Now, the fact is that with regard to defense, And this is something that I brought up during the two hour blocks. You have to go back through the archives. You want to check it out. But as I pointed out, remember it's understanding how to move three dimensionally, especially when the other side has all kinds of tech. But being able to move three dimensionally and then with the fourth component, which is time and distance, and being able to use all of the terrain and the materials of the environment to your advantage. In other words, from that particular point of view, you are prey. As prey, how do you avoid an aggressor slash a predator who has very specific capabilities? Well, first you need to understand what they are. And then understand how the technology can be defeated. Now that's done through trial and error, and part of that error includes death. We did kill the slow ones and the unlucky ones But a whole bunch of others apparently having fought in this battlefield all of their lives. It's their backyard not yours Were able to successfully employ low-tech solutions and even destroy whole elements of our quote-unquote elite forces How many SEAL team units were either decimated? completely destroyed in Afghanistan. By the way, how could they be? I mean, every aspect of modern high-end technology was deployed and then employed with the purpose of extermination of the target that we were engaging, the population we were trying to wipe out on their own real estate. How didn't that work? Now, there were several solutions or ideas that people came up with when I asked that question to our block. One was animal skins or mud or whatever. Well, it's a combination. It's actually, it's true that other natural materials are used for deflection or masking a signature, especially with thermal because thermal is the tough one. And the Afghans knew that thermal was out there. You think they're not stupid. They may not have, you know, everything you've got, but they understand what you've got. So then they had to look at, okay, well, how do we get past this? Now, part of this is knowing the terrain, understanding how to keep the terrain between you and the overhead threat and the battlefield threat before you, because you have to consider the overhead threat. An example, the quote-unquote ambush of SEAL Team 6, that virtually wiped out whole elements of that particular formation. All best fighting forces we have, it was argued. Okay, well I believe that. So how is it that they were exterminated with helicopter air superiority, overhead watch, low, medium, and high surveillance technology surveying the area? satellite surveillance? Because everybody is told that she will resist. You'll be absorbed. There's nothing you can do. Well, what did the Afghans do right? That's what you need to ask yourself. What did they do right? Go ahead and call her. Chip in there. Hi Mark, it's John from Kentucky. I would say the best way for them and that area to me would be to hide next to a big warm rock. Exactly. Exactly, but put the terrain, put the junk. This is the basic rule. It's kind of like air defense in reverse. You put junk in between you and what's hunting you. But here's the most important thing about that. You have to have a constant predator, prey familiarity because you're the prey. Whenever you move, what I mean by this is when you move, You constantly are having an eye and an ear, a sense of where your enemy is. And you're constantly moving with the purpose of putting junk between you and whoever it is that you're either trying to evade or you're trying to hunt and engage yourself. It was not a one-sided fight in Afghanistan. Oh, yeah, certainly we did mobilize and could move out to an area and choose where to, you know, where to attack to a degree. But how many of those actions were just absolute failures? Don't tell me about the absolute successes. The cards are completely in your favor if you're able to stumble somebody into an accident. But that wasn't that common and again we how long did we have to fight the Afghans in Afghanistan? How many years were we there? Didn't we kill them all? We should have I mean, I'm saying it's like explain this to me Well, we didn't know once we were in a fight, okay one example is that SEAL team action and I keep running this out They came up with these goofy reports that well, there were about 200 Afghans Okay, and they came out of nowhere Oh really? They came out of nowhere. Yeah, because now you want you to think about this. They're coming into the area and you see all the propaganda in all the movies about how they see everything that you don't and it's totally futile to resist and you know movies do that for you, not real life. So they came in and all of a sudden there were 200 combatants. That's the number that they came up with about. They pulled it out of their arse. They said, yep, there were 200 Afghan rebels that were firing on the seals, etc., etc. Well, then they claimed that, well, they killed two-thirds of them. And then they claimed that the enemy dead were carried away, which is why they didn't have any bodies to show anybody. Okay, let's do the math on this. Wait a minute, you killed two-thirds of the ground troops. You claim you did, right? That means there's only one-third of the Afghans left to do two things. Number one, get their own ass out of the line of fire, number one. But number two, they must have grabbed an Afghan body and put one on each shoulder. And also, they didn't recover hardly any weapons. In fact, I don't believe they recovered any. So the Afghans were a Superman because they slung a corpse over each shoulder. They grabbed about another 40 pounds worth of AKs or whatever the guys were carrying between three men, myself and the other two corpses I'm carrying. And they just disappeared off that mountain. Wow, I want the magic pixie dust mountain goat that those people are riding with, don't you? A million dollars worth of weapons, millions of dollars worth of weapons on the helicopters and in the hands of the troops, millions. Overhead air protection, what do you think it was? Oh, there were eight-tens, okay. How many millions of dollars worth of eight-tens? And they had other helicopters, okay. How many millions of dollars worth of helicopters? And they had satellite and they had surveillance and drones to watch, okay, right there. And they got their ass handed to them on two hand platters. And the enemy, although you claim you killed two-thirds of them, they all got dragged away. How does that work for you guys? Not my attitude is this. Either A, damn, we need to find out what those Afghan troops are on because we need more of it. We don't need seals, we need to go hire Afghans, right? Somebody's trying to blow smoke up your ass and baffle you with BS. Now, it doesn't mean that something wasn't happening, but I would say that there's more to it than that. No, they didn't have two-thirds of the individuals killed or wounded critically because there'd be no way for them to leave the battlefield. Because they went in later, right away, they took control, and they didn't have any corpses to play with. No bodies. So again, don't say it can't be done, somebody else is doing it. What we need to do is find out what they were doing. Because whatever the hell they were doing, wouldn't you say that the Afghans, for the most part, having A, survived actions like that? Number one. And number two, consistently survived the battlefield for how many decades? So that they could come back day after day, week after week. Month after month and just keep fighting not that's pretty good. This guy said more something they had they had something squared away Okay, call her jump in there. Go ahead Wait, well your militia have medical support teams to treat our wounded Oh, you know any unit that I've organized has good Actually, first of all, let's discuss that for a second. That's a good question because we have the ability, first of all, we've trained everybody to individually treat themselves or to support others, which is typical for any military force in this day and age. Militia has the exact same training and has the exact same tools at the individual level that the government has. With regard to the medic within a squad and usually there's one medic perhaps maybe between two squads But there's going to be a designated response individual if you don't have a medic for every squad there will be a designated response individual and they might as well be the medic because they're going to be expected to do all the all of the messy work that needs to be done beyond that we have Response we have field response medical units that are tactical at the tactical level, lowest level, that are designed as recovery units. They would assist a platoon or a company with wounded and move them back to a support point, which is what I've talked about many times, where we developed, for instance, we just did this last two weekends ago. Not last weekend, we were busy with other things last weekend, but two weekends ago, We had another church that's come online. We've got groups that have built medical forward aid support stations. They're like mini-mashes. A forward aid station is a pretty significant tool in and of itself because when the people come off the point of contact and they've been patched up to whatever degree, the first treatment and triage you're going to see is going to be at that point with the aid station. prioritizing who needs to be evacuated first, who is walking, wounded, etc. and basic but relatively advanced medical support for casualties at that level is available. Now, what I've argued, and people have done different organizations, colonial marine units have a wide variety. They're all over the United States. Many of the militia units have different philosophies or have not even focused as heavily as they should on medical. But they're platooned in other words, they're a 40 or 50 man organization. They have to have some kind of infrastructure to build the other part of this support system we're talking about, which is why I've argued to recruit people specifically for that purpose. And the hospital units or medical units that are made up of the church groups are perfect because In many cases, you have retirees and you have active personnel who are medical and understand and can jumpstart very quickly the basic components that we've been building. Now, beyond that is something else we've talked about which is you've got a casualty, they've been treated. Now we need to get them into some form of rest and recuperation process. That's where it's going to be varied all across the country and mostly although there are we have the ability to set up field recovery hospitals They aren't going to be very big because you can't afford to have too many people in one place But we do have the ability to build bigger In every situation with anything where you build bigger you become a better target So dispersion of the casualties for recovery is something that is going to have to be done amongst our allied population. And I think that's where it's especially critical to be getting better care. Some people have asked, well, can you do heart surgery? Well, I can't do heart surgery, but I have people who can. We have people who can do most everything that's been done, either they're combat medical surgeons or they're EMTs and As Doc Robinson was, Doc Robinson was a trauma surgeon. And more than a few times he worked on me quietly because I couldn't go to the hospital for what happened. And again, we have a lot of people like that. The big thing is to have the tools in the toolbox. What I mean by that is something we've talked about is shopmeddebt.com. Surplus inventories of material, collect what you can in the way of medical, and it's not so much the, although again I'm trying to build up other surgeries via the ability to do more specialized work. There's a lot of specialized instruments that go along with that. Some of that we won't have right away. We may eventually develop some inventory, but right now it's up and down. It depends on the experience. For example, we've got a doctor down the road here. That individual has two, three shipping containers full of surgical supplies. She's been doing this for a long time. She already knows what the regime is up to. And like many of the individuals, they already have a good idea what they need to deal with most of the problems that they'd have to have, maybe they'd be taken care of as a trauma surgeon or as a doctor. We're gonna be pressing people into service. This is the other thing I can't emphasize enough. Steven, who lived with us for quite some time, I've had many other men that have given me living examples of having to develop medical support personnel from whoever's available. During World War II, most minor surgeries were not done by doctors. They were done by AIDS men or corpsmen who had been recruited. They were brought into the surgery. They would teach a team of 10 or 12 individuals how to do a simple process, a simple single action of some kind. And once they all were taught it, guess what? They were taking over and doing minor surgeries because if they could do that, the doctors who could do major surgeries, put gut back together, reattach limbs mostly or try to take off what needs to be taken off to save what's left. That's what the surgeon was busy doing for hours and hours and hours at a time. non-stop. So any place where the burden could be lightened, it was, and that's what's going to have to happen again. That's what we have to be immediately ready to do. The system won't do that. The bureaucracy is an anal-retendant control freak, worthless operation that will get more people killed than you can imagine. They're not there to help you. They're going to get you killed. So we have the thinkers and we're already ahead of the curve on this. They have the trash, turd and stinkers and I want it to stay that way. I don't want them over here. We have the ability to, you know, the local hospital, the local hospital seems in every state. It's like they own and run those places. Well, the local hospitals are not going to be accessible because they'll be, the question would be would they be neutral? No, they wouldn't. You go in to be treated and the enemy will try to snag you or grab you or hurt you there at that location. So, the hospital is... They would post gunshot wounds. Well, they'll be more gunshot wounds than you care to think about. So that's not so much the problem is, it's just the idea that anybody hurt no matter what. is going to be in trouble and the idea is that if you're tagged to be in the mind of the, you know, satanic, pedo, queer, medical person that's in front of you, they're going to make a point of doing whatever they can to hurt you, to get you, you know, grabbed and dragged away. And the system won't allow for the idea that, nope, neither side is going to fight here. We would accept that, but the system won't. The system is going to be rabid and insane. So you've got to understand, you're not going to be able to go to the hospital. You go to the hospital, it's like a death sentence. That's why it's again, we have to have the systems up and online and in place on our side already. We already have to have this mindset we're going to get it done. And everybody's going to have to pitch in. The other thing is if we get into a World War three scenario and they start dropping, you know big eggs on cities and stuff Guys, the medical system has failed. They will not be able to handle that You all understand it would be over. They'd be overwhelmed immediately. You won't be able to use stuff the medical system It won't be functioning. This is used common sense on this, you know, how long would it take for the The hospital system to be overrun with say a half a million casualties everything from people getting chunks of building stuck through their shield chest burned scraped folded spindle emutalated every way you can imagine Going there. They would not have the ability to they won't have the ability to maintain the system You know Mark, so as of right now the shootings hasn't quite started yet and the hospitals they're not worth a damn right now as it is. Exactly. Well, again, this is becoming more it's becoming more and more apparent to everybody, which is a good thing. Mostly what I've noticed is doctors, of course, are now paranoid to touch patients. They've got that paranoia thing running deep. Used to do an ear, nose, eye inspection for all patients that doesn't even exist anymore. You know what there is in the hospital? I went in for a hernia surgery and I still got the hernia and they want over $2,000 from me. Well, that's a matter of economics. Okay. Yeah, I know. But the point is they didn't do nothing. They didn't expect still got it. That's the point. No problem is that they didn't. They didn't pick the tires. They didn't fix the tire that was flat. Instead, they just decided to charge you for a new set of tires they wouldn't put air in even. Right? You didn't get anything for the, you know, for the expense. Anyway, fact is, uh oh, the fact is this, before we go any farther, we keep doing this, we're at the bottom of the hour. It's weapons Wednesday. Well, go ahead, we got it. Yeah, I was going to throw up into this conversation. I have lost a lot of respect for in-house medical care. There is not a single person I know in the last, what is it, five years who hasn't gone into the hospital, who has had to spend time in the hospital recovering, who has not had a part of their body chopped off. Dad, you're in the same boat. Everybody I know, you know. And how many people do we know that have gone in the hospital for totally different things and end up losing a piece of their foot, losing a finger, losing a toe? Seriously, it's ridiculous. And that just tells you the level of care that they're giving people. Well, and also because of the regimen, the bureaucratic regimen, and there's so many overlapping elements of paranoia for liability that in reality they've lost track of where to be with regard to treating many patients. Where they need where they should be as opposed to well where they are and what's what's happened is it's costing people their lives but if you remember they want to kill you. It'd be one thing if they're well we really wish we hadn't done that oh no just to reverse people they want you dead they'd like to see you dead. They're hoping to make you dead. That's one of the problems we've got right now is they're really trying to kill a whole lot of you. And there's this little clique of sociopaths like sickle fans that have, you know, drank, they drank the Kool-Aid. They've been told all about how they're special. You're not that you're just the unwashed heathen that they need to help get rid of. So there's a whole bunch of sociopathy going on here. Craig, Twilight Zone, Fruit Loops. That's the problem you've got when you're going to hospital. You don't know what you're getting in the way of a creature at the other end of that that room That's supposed to be treating you But if they don't believe in the Hippocratic oath and in fact they've taken politics and inserted it. It's not neutral ground You're better off in again taking care of most of the need most of your needs and you can yourself, but you have to become educated and you have to develop a database so that you can draw from it just in the case you are not familiar with whatever the hell it is that's going on. Sadly enough, it's where we are. And I'm not holding my breath to see the medical system change itself. It likes where it went. It's just like the rest of these slobs, these communist slobs. They hate the people. They like the money. But they hate the people. And for that reason, it's just gonna get worse. It's not gonna get better. I'm not panicking about it. It means I gotta come up with solutions. In the situation of the battlefield environment, then it's compounded. That's the only thing to remember, because again, people are gonna be committed to sides. So you need to be prepared to help your people when you know you're not gonna be helped from these creatures and work accordingly. Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour before we're going any farther we're gonna do something because it is Weapons Wednesday and on Weapons Wednesday at the bottom of the hour. In our valley there is danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you're not the singing of the view, the wild and free. But soon you'll know that all the rifles from the trees, all the rifles, all the rifles, in our hands, will prove no joyful. You may ride a good lady's ski, you may know a stern and master. You forward march with your feet, but you'll learn the back much faster when you meet our mountain boys. And your leader just starts. Glad you make what little noise and always hit the mark. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove Noah's rifle. We need no graves at home, back across the briney water. And yet he must come alive, well up to the slaughter. But if we the job must do, then the sooner it is begun. If vengeance figure hold the butt through, the quicker it will be done. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no true rifle. Hold the rifle, hold the rifle. In our hands we'll prove no true rifle. and you're listening to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Libertytreeradio.org and we're on satellite. Don't say hi to all our merchant operators out there. No matter what body of water you are resting on right now. Fact is that you're rebroadcasting and doing it in such a way that the word is spread that much farther. You're helping us and we thank you for the job that you are doing. And it is, then, a very busy, busy, busy week. It's only Wednesday. One of the things I was doing today is electrical. Lucas! Lucas! Haiti! The Triumph and British Land Rover along with a lot of other military British equipment use the Lucas electrical system. And what's the first rule when you get a Triumph and you have the Lucas electrical system? You rip it out and you find something else. You actually rebuild yourself. But again, if you want to, you can run Lucas, guys. Actually, it's not totally corrupt. It's one of those things where if you're willing to operate the original design, a lot of people do with their British Land Rovers simply because they want to be courteous to the original, you know, the collector. You know, it's a, it's a antique now as much as anything. That's really where the issue is there. But traditionally, you could either A, rewire existing or a lot of people completely dumped everything that was on board. and built new. And it can be done, it can be done, but we have a couple of friends, one of them is notorious for being a master of the Lucas electrical curse. Amazingly enough, time and time again was able to step forward, walk into the fray and pull a few wires and remount a few fuses and away the thing would go. So it's possible to operate it the way it is, but you got to be patient. And most Americans don't have that. Of course, you don't have that because they're usually pissed at what the thing's doing to them over and over again. Hours, hours and days on end. And always, it's also a sensitive system. That's a problem. But a lot of fun if you actually play with them. Anyway, Lucas, well, we had something like that. I've been working on a bunch of other older pieces of equipment, and I'm upgrading their wiring because a lot of stuff that was done in the 70s, it's kind of like Chrysler's. Okay, Chrysler's, I love Mopar. I love Mopar. And they have some of the shittiest electronics on board for any car for the era. And you just have to be ready to understand that if you've got a problem, start looking at the electrical because that usually is the, you know, foundation issue. And... In this case, the idea is that I've got older pieces of equipment that I picked up for a song and a dance and you know what, as long as I had them broken down, all brand new. And again, better quality than anything that they ever had under the hood, so to speak, before. You need to be thinking about that too right now if you've got technology that you're, you know, employing and you're going to be doing any major maintenance on them. PM, Preventive Maintenance, is a priority right now. You should be taking care of and dealing with The little things that can be done now before they become a problem later. That way there aren't going to be something that flattens out on you when you're in the middle of a fight. Or if you're transporting, trying to evacuate an area. Oh man. So we don't want that to happen. And again, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. I would point out that probably need to, and again we already do this in most of the military packages, military packages, militia packages we put together. Even trucks, I have a complete patch wire kit on hand built for each one of the vehicles, the Suburbans, the pickup trucks. Any of the other military vehicles like the deuce and hats, we got a couple of deuces down the road that have been parked a little long. The one cool thing about military or old military, new military is funky junkies slash wiring is unreliable. But the older stuff was kiss, keep it simple stupid and minimize. So once the bureaucracy got its claws on The EPA and all the other BS well then that drivel rolled right over to all of the you know life-and-death pieces of equipment that are out there So now grossly over complicated all kinds of issues that can't easily be fixed a deuce and a half Everything on the wiring harness is numbered. Did you know that? You have a little flag when you're working on it number one goes to the number one connector number two goes to number you really it's that simple and Number three, number four, number five. On a deuce and a half, there are three wire harnesses. There's the front, the middle, and the back. Each one used to cost, like for an M35, only about $17 to $28. I'm sure they've gone up now, but we're talking brand new in the wrapper old inventory, okay? But if you didn't have it, they were designed so that you could take off-the-shelf wiring, very quickly replace. Congratulations, even use different couplers or connectors if you had to, splice wires. But you could get the system back online because it was KISS. Keep it simple, stupid. That's what you're looking for, but you're not going to find any modern vehicles. All the vehicles I'm talking about, we may still have to abandon in place because electrical issues are probably going to be one of the first, especially with small arms fire. Because guys, remember, stuff gets shot. Well, they didn't shoot it in the engine block. No, but they creased a couple of your control lines. or a switch line or whatever, I mean any number of things can happen. It's just like, you know, on top of that all the other mechanical things, your radiators, etc. can be hit. You need to put a radiator kit together. You should have both 5-8 inch bolts and nuts of different lengths, and leg bolts especially. 2 inch, 3 inch, 5 inch. One nice thing is you can go by the pound over the tractor supply and buy a handful of each. What do you need those for? Well, you also want them in quarter inch. Why? Because when you have that hole through your radiator, you take that lag bolt, put some goop on both ends of it. Take a big fender washer, put it on where the head is of the bolt, run it through whatever angle it takes to get that bolt through to the other side. Take another flange bolt, another fender washer, and a preferably a step bolt if you can. And what you want to do is goop that up, put the washer in, crank that down. and refill or reintroduce fluid just to keep it running and that'll get you down the road out of the combat zone or at least get you down the road for whatever distance with what you got. By the way, who says there was only one hole? So you need a kit. Mr. Duct Tape is your friend. Well, will it do everything? Nope, but it will do some. It will do it for a while. And those are things you need to think about. By the way, with... a line hole, you can do the same thing. You can run a bolt through from one side to the other using the fender washer again. You just don't have to pick out the proper bolt that's going to run through the hose and you do not want to crush it because you don't want to undo pressure against the fender washer and the bolt or it will blow out again. But if you torque it only to the basic dimension of a loaded line, What's going to happen is, is you can hit that with the bolt, run the bolt through, then wrap it with a couple strands of duct tape, good for at least a, you know, a while's worth of running, some point's going to fail again, but you know what? It gets you out of dodge, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance, just something to think about there, and yes, Mr. 100 mile an hour tape slide duct tape is your friend, don't ever forget that. You don't care what color it is in a pinch. In fact, save all the colorful colors for under the hood. How's that sound? Oh, that's really pretty stuff here. Fantastic. Save it for your under the hood patch where nobody can see it. Nobody's going to care. Now, another thing real quick here I mentioned and I did it twice. And after I started coming back to the workstation here to be up on the program, I realized you know what I didn't check. There are a, there's a, I believe it's a five pack of backpack shelves or military. Now they say they're for World War II, World War II backpack, which doesn't make any difference because typically if they're an L type hanger, you can make them work. You just got to figure out how they work. First you got to see how they originally were intended, then you modify accordingly. But these things are cheap. You can't make it. Not the quality of what this is for what they're charging for the money. It's like there's five of them for like $6 or whatever. It's a stupid price. It's cheap. It might be the other way around. Could be five for $4. I'm just off the top of my head. I saw them and I thought about it and I didn't write it down. And any of you can pull it up, but it may be at Coleman's.com. They've got a sale going on right now for the holiday weekend coming up. Labor Day and it could be sportsman's guide. I would first check Coleman's and Again, they've got their you know specials for the holiday Check that see what it is, you know, look at it. See if it makes sense to you you'll find it soon enough if it's there and They are definitely worth the money now. Why did why was this brought up? Well, we were talking about improvising or adapting and using other backpack systems and integrating them, one with the other. And one of those is the fact that there's a ton of the plastic, in fact the plastic MOLLE backpack frames are in green, they're in coyote, they're in a gray green ACU color. There's black, I mean they're plait black, I've got all the above. One of the last things I bought for in goblet coordination was the truck load of those frames. I've got two or three pallet bins, I've got hundreds of them. There's hundreds that came in that lot. And one of the things I am impressed with that frame because you can adapt any set of suspenders you have. You can make any kind of suspenders fit that frame. I mentioned before that, well, it'd be nice. What you do is you buy one of the suspender sets for that frame, the MOLLE ones, because they're really hyper padded. You grab the belt system with the back pad, and those actually have MOLLE stations in them, so you can actually hook more pouches to the belt strap, the pad straps around either side, which is kind of cool. And then you can attach to that frame whatever backpack you got. In order to lighten it up, they put a whole bunch of additional perforations in the mold and holes and they're everywhere. There's all kinds of rectangular, circular points and they're consistent from one side to the other, making it possible to hook up a lot of different equipment to those frames, making them one of the most versatile frames probably in recent times. You could take an Alice kidney pad, the Alice Wonder Alice 2. You know, the Alice medium or large backpack all both went on the same frame. And amazingly enough, you could get that simple strap to work. They're also more advanced. The Mark II is more advanced and actually is more sophisticated as far as padding goes. They decided to do that much later on in the design. It doesn't make an difference, whichever you have, you can make it work. And that makes this a very useful frame. Now, I'd be willing to bet that these shelves could be adapted to that frame too, which means that you can strap on an ammo can or a ledge for water containers or whatever you want to do. And they're so cheap, you can't really afford not to do it. You can actually improvise, adapt, and overcome your discretion and make these things work. So, I highly recommend you do that. Check out colmans.com, see what they have there. The frames, if you shop around, can be found for as little as $4 or $5 a piece sometimes. Problem, shipping is still going to be what shipping always is. So, it ain't the razor, it's the blades. The shipping won't be much better than anybody else unless you can find a deal like the Sportsman's Guide where they have free shipping. And in fact, I would check there to see what their frame costs are because if they have free shipping, a lot of times you still get a better deal that way. And they do. They've got free shipping. So that may be your best choice, best direction to go in order for you to pick up what you need if you want to experiment. And again, if you have commercial backpacks, I grab all the commercial. I don't care what it is. If it's a backpack, I grab it. It goes into the inventory. It gets put away because we need it. It's just that simple. We need it. So again, somebody's going to need it. I mean, maybe qualify that. Someone's going to need it. And so we're going to make sure that we've got it on hand so that they have something or able to have something to continue to function with and keep up the fight. So again, take the time, check out what's out there available. Colmans.com for those ledges, their shelves, their US military. It's supposed to be World War II. If they are, they're dirt cheap for a World War II item. I'm thinking or suspecting they may be for either the aluminum or the Beaver Board cargo backpack. The Beaver Board one rolls over from World War II into Korea. The aluminum ones pop in from about Korea on through to Vietnam. And they were designed for transporting heavy items like ammunition or mortar rounds or again, water containers like a jerry can. You strap a jerry can in the back of that backpack. strap it in the place, carry it in, it's right there, everybody's got it. Water jerry cans. But again, the price is right for the shelf. If you can find it, forgive me, I'll try to make sure I have it in hand tomorrow just in case everybody misses it. Because I know what I'm looking at, and I know what the, again, approximately where to go, where to look for it. Anyway, we're almost to the top. Any questions? Before we're going to farther, you know I haven't done that in a while too, but you know we have covered a number of subjects. Any questions? Anybody? Chime in if you want to. And remember, this is not high school. They are not going to ridicule you. Well, not very much. No, we don't ridicule people here. We have fun. Which makes it really, really cool. I'm gonna wait because I hate to block anybody out. Okay, one of the things I want to touch on here, the Rivian truck plant in normal Illinois caught fire, well I should say the yard caught fire and the vehicles in the yard, at least one section, were completely trashed in what was a daisy chain of electric car battery failures, one after another after another, side by side by side. Basically what they did is they just let them burn. Nothing they could really do I guess because there's no way to really fight the fire If they have special tech they didn't have it on hand But it's the Rivian plant in Normal, Illinois if you get a chance check that out. I'm sure they're gonna downplay it because after all electric cars They're perfectly safe. So it's nothing it can do it. Oh my god And needless to say it was very embarrassing So, the number of trucks that were damaged looks to like they were destroyed, not damaged. Destroyed looks to be about 50 or 60, I'd say, in a block, maybe a little bigger. There are some videos, there's also some still shots. It took place at night. I don't know if somebody immediately thought sabotage, you know, sabotage-y. But it may or may not have been, I mean, come on guys, these vehicles, all it takes is one to cook off in your home, that's it. You're out of here, you're done, you're gonna be fighting the fire, and they had to fight a fire. The other thing about that is, I don't know how you can really, really, electronic vehicles, electric battery powered vehicles that are using these specialized batteries. are, again, a unique problem across the board. And it's going to be rather interesting down the road in a battlefield, an urban battlefield situation or anywhere where vehicles of that type are in place. You know, they're an on standby, you know, distraction. If you need a distraction or if you want to block an area, guys, you do realize that for a little bit of boom-boom, It causes a lot of mayhem and nobody wants to get near it because it's almost like a white phosphorus grenade. Get anywhere near the thing? It sticks. So everybody kind of keep that in mind. This is a, might be down the road, a useful battlefield solution to deal with certain problems when they're in front of you and they're on the road. Oh yeah, what is that? Is that a Tesla over there? What bus is that? That's an electric bus, too. Wow. Have you ever seen the buses when they go up? Oh my goodness. So again, take into consideration that this is a solution. You know what? It's tough to get vehicles, though vehicles will go up pretty well if you've got tracer. But these things go up more dynamically than even a gasoline powered vehicle do when it comes to the explosion. In fact, the explosive potential, most important is just the idea that they're pretty nondescript. There's no way you can really get rid of them because they've pushed them so heavily, which is kind of cool. And so we actually have these things where we're stuck with them in the environment for what somebody looks like quite some time. and they will be readily available in the environment. And as a boom-boom toy, that'd be very useful. Know where all the electronic vehicles are dead on the streets, sir? Why? Well, some of them may have already burned anyway. Hell, some of them may have burned because the poor bastards tried to escape to get away from whatever was going on and the things blew up on their own. They just blewed up. I don't know why, but they just blewed up. So that is another consideration. And again, that's the Rivian, somebody's asking, it's the Rivian, R-I-D-I-A-N, Rivian Truck Plant in Normal, Illinois. It's just Normal, Illinois, sir, not right now, they seem to be on fire. Oh! So Rivian Truck Plant, fire, Normal, Illinois, that's a search you want to make and you'll find what I'm talking about. Well, let's see, another thing real quick, over almost to the top. No, I'll tell you what, don't have enough time to get into another big subject. There is one other thing I didn't want to touch on, but we can save it until tomorrow anyway. Another thing here, we were talking about reloading, guys. I'm going to remind you again, especially now, although I think most everybody has figured this out, if you're reloading. Go downsize rather than upsize with regard to powder spec. Why? Well, it's real simple. You've only got so much powder to reload. And the way things are going, I would challenge you. What you need to do is practice and print what you load. You can dial back your powder trickler a little bit. Look at your scale. Look at your reloading chart. And just like we were talking about earlier here, you can drop back down a little bit with your powder charged with the same bullet and you still get a comparable print on the paper. If you're going to be shooting, the important thing now, of course, you might be saying, well, Mark, I might have to use it for combat operations too. But yeah, if that's the case, the ammunition would still work for that purpose. There's no reason not to. And loss of maybe 80 feet per second or 100 feet per second is acceptable. If you're able to shoot that much more, especially if you're having to train people, this is something nobody does the math on. In a wartime environment, how will you train people, especially when everybody talks about guerrilla warfare? How will you train people? If they are going to shoot, they're gonna make noise. And the problem with that is the bad guys are listening for that. But, if you are training, just like the US military, you know I've talked about this many, many, many times. World War II, especially in the beginning, everybody trained with wooden rifles. They didn't have the weapons, they had to redistribute them to where they needed them for the fight. A lot of them never got there. They went to Davy Jones way before they ever got to the troops in the Pacific or got to the fight in the Atlantic. Even with all the effort they made. Okay? So the big thing is, whatever you got is all you got, and you better be treating it that way. That means that you better be calculating your investment with regard to munitions in such a way that you minimize to maximize. We want to get more bang for the buck, and that's one of the reasons you do reload. So, Airsoft is a solution for a guerrilla warfare environment because it's the instructor and the operator and how serious they take the training aid. It's not the training aid itself. It's a matter of the instructor motivating the individual and taking childish notions out of people's heads or predetermined based upon propaganda or BS pre-war about the training aids. Airsoft is a way to end up with an end result. You have to do everything you have to do with a conventional firearm. The only thing it doesn't have is the bang and the recoil. And you know what? You don't want the bang, because if you're in a guerrilla warfare environment, the more noise you make, the more likely you will be shot. Right? So, what we need to do is make sure that we're working with a little bit of stealth. And to do that, we need to be quiet. And one thing about Airsoft, it's quiet. So invest in a certain amount of Airsoft in an AK simulator, an AR simulator, and any other weapons that you may have in the inventory that you know you're going to be utilizing. Those, the Airsoft weapon, is your training aid to provide the resource that you need to get that person up to a certain level of proficiency before they go to live fire. And live fire, in many cases, may be actual combat because there is no option. You're going into the fray. Well, we got you as far as we could with what we got. But at least you're out spraying and praying and you got an idea and an understanding of how things work and how to make them work better. Okay? Anyway, we're at the top. Talk about working a bit of time is working against us always. We are, of course, at the top of the hour. For everybody out there. get out of the way from outhead taking over. 4LTR coming up and we'll be back tomorrow same time on Liberty 3 Radio.
