A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his. 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 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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land is a free, 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 the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children 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 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 in each God-given right, and pray to God to torture freedom burning bright. As Iowocke vanished in the midst of whence he came, his words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his parents trampled each God-given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the van to the truck. Yeah, the other five-ten or two. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the... hour of the intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southeast, north, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. That's the other site. You can go to and listen to us directly live while we're broadcasting right now. We're on satellite. I want to say hi to all our merchant marine and many other operators out there. Re-broadcasting and listening via analog and digital in so many ways. It's impossible to list. We're also on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. Well, it is the first day of our broadcasting in September. And of course, it is the third of September. 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. Give it all she has got captain 125% and battle for the Republic that dance of swords or going to war in 2024. Congratulations, you're in the middle of it, the bad guys are serious, other people are stupid, not taking it seriously. Those are mostly mock or shallow-held conservatives. When they get caught flat-footed, they'll explain to you all about why you need to surrender. We all need to surrender! What do you mean, we? Hey, fool, why don't you go up front and see if they're taking prisoners? Yeah, yeah, I'll go surrender and see if I can negotiate with a p- I guess they're number one not taking prisoners so we won't either. Number two, I believe we should shoot them no matter what they do. We will shoot them whenever we get the chance. Viva de la America. Yeah, isn't that what happened with the outlaw Josie Wales? Everybody surrendered and except him and everybody got mowed down by a gatling gun. Right they got fed they got they got fed and they got sworn in and then they got killed remember so Exactly, and that's what we better remember to girl anything else ship in there, please picked up a Really nice Kevlar helmet today with a nice helmet padding and chin strap and everything I didn't expect to see it. I thought it was a good price so I smashed it up So very happy about that I'll tell you what, since you brought that up, suggestion right off the bat. Don't know if it's a mish, could be a militia flat line, could be a pasket, or 2000 whatever, you know, the upper high bars. Over at Sportsman's Guide, they've got this 80% off. This is, I think it's Friday and tomorrow, who knows, you know, it's supposed to be the holiday weekend. One of the first things that pops up are two complete chin straps for the systems for the newer helmets, which may be the one that you have, but it's two sets of chin straps for $1.97. You can't beat that. It's in the sage green, so it's gotta be from the urban slash ACU pattern forward. But it's over at Sportsman's Guide dot com. When you get there, there's this 80% weekend special thing. And it may not pop up every time. You're gonna have to look for it. But they're less than $2 a set for two. Not for one set, but two sets. It's worth it to get a backup for your helmet and have another one. Just in case you find another helmet without one or with one that looks really ratty. What was the condition of the helmet you picked up? Pretty good? It's a beautiful I mean it's so much okay used it for for you know the bare-bones minimum And it's it's it's all black. It's like a swat helmet. That's what I'm getting was either swat or some kind of pretty hardcore security. But actually, so it fits in really well with, so a couple years ago I bought Office Sportsman's Guide. They had a kit where it was a do-it-yourself kit and it was an Italian helmet, Kevlar helmet, and it came with the interior rigging and the chin strap and everything and a cover, except that cover goes to a Pazgat. And so that'll be perfect for this. And then I painted that Italian helmet because it's not a Pazgaz style. It's more of a police riot style helmet. And I painted that black. So yeah, it works out just fine. Perfect. And not only that, remember, put a helmet cover on it, an OD green or whatever color you want. But when you want to blend in, like all those other black uniform goose steppers, it might be out front kicking the doors in for somebody else. Remember, a spiffy simple black uniform, a decent tactical rig of any kind that slips on quick, and a black Pascad helmet, and some, you know, don't forget if you have to look at them. What kind of letters do they have? Keep a roll of white and yellow, small, not very big, and a pair of surgical scissors, duct tape. So you can match up the letters basically. They don't need to be perfect. Remember, 90% of it's just getting by. And in confusion and small arms fire, you're for the buds. And you run right through the buds. And around the buds, down the street from the buds, through the backyard there, and I'm gone. See how that works? So, like I said, we have black around. We don't wear it all the time, but we have black equipment around. It's there for a reason. So it does work. By the way, these are the newer chin strap systems. This has the two point connectors on each side. The ones for... They're worth picking up because you never know what helmet you're going to get. Thank you for bringing it up right away because that's something I did want to mention everybody. Guys, you're talking a dollar a set for chin straps, for helmet chin straps, and these are new. Now what I do with these, I grab them, zip lock bag them, and I put them into my helmet kits. repair box that I have. And if anything pops up like just happened with Carl there, where, look what I found. Yeah, but it's missing this or that, who cares? I have all of that, and more, so I can repair it, fix it, change it as needed, and make it work for me. Just a heads up, by the way also what I was thinking of with these chin straps is again I've got a bunch of older Hungarian helmets that I picked up for a stupid price deal. They were free basically. And it was from one of the suppliers. It was just a give me thing. Hey buy these and buy this and you get a whole bunch of these. And they said I don't know how they could afford the shipping. These are actual ballistic steel helmets that are made in a higher grade. for stopping small arms fire some won't stop much, but it'll stop some. And the thing is, I'm redoing the baskets in those, but I'm being very patient. And what I did is I bought a bunch of these suspension chin straps because they're going to go in those helmets. And you know what's funny? It might help with the weevil wobble because Traditionally with most any helmet, I don't care who made it. The front back weeble wobble is normal. Everybody goes, man, there's something wrong my helmet. No, guys, it's just been something that has always been an issue. We have to have more points of contact and control, number one. And number two, most people said with US piss powder, it didn't work very well. It's because nobody was ever trained how to put it together. Half of what you needed to make the helmet stable was never issued out to the troops. Just a heads up, but if you look all that stuff is now out there in surplus Most guys don't know what to do with it because they got so much of it Example if you there are three different types of rear head stabilizer straps For the USM one steel pot from World War two Korea Vietnam If you just add that and apply it, right? Then the helmet is a lot less weeble wobble front to back when you're moving around The other thing is that there are two airborne variants and they were done built for the exact same purpose to stabilize the helmet You know help it to prevent it from popping forward and backward, but especially because well gee you're jumping out of an airplane Having the helmet pop around and snap your neck or something isn't your first best thing to have happen And it's supposed to be a safety item So again, the cool thing is that they actually came up with some pretty good solutions, just steal it from the airborne. And they're not expensive. They're not expensive at all. Go ahead, jump in there, please. This is Carl again. For anybody who, you know, you're having trouble getting other people in your unit motivated to actually get some body armor, then they're just sitting there saying, well, I just won't get shot. I'll be fine. Well, have a medical FTX where you do, you know, second chest wounds and all that good stuff and get like, you know, really thorough into it and, you know, where you're watching videos and all that. And I guarantee you within two weeks everybody on your team is going to be armored up looking like Iron Man, guaranteed. Well, first of all, the idea, I don't want that to happen to me. And it's like, oh, God, that looks horrible. Yes, it's even worse in real life. It looks really bad. It feels worse. Okay, so maybe it'd be a good idea to be better protected. The one thing I will say is this most everybody listening you guys are younger, okay? But even myself to be quite honest when this mobile with mobilization takes place number one is I'd rather have a level 2 vest that does all the way around my torso then plates front and rear Why? Well, our enemy uses a lot of fragmentation. You need to always remember that. Frag is what's probably going to get you a tag with a piece of steel rod coming out of a grenade body that goes in on the side of your third rib on the left side where you didn't have anything covering it. It's going to do a lot more hurt. then, you know, whatever pattern you might end up, well, if it's up front, it's gonna hurt no matter what with a bullet, obviously. But the idea that getting smacked randomly with pieces of stuff that will just eat rich you to death, they will take chunks out of you until you don't work. And usually it's right away. So, soft armor, tried to round it up. I've noticed everybody is pretty well eating up all of the used armor. Botash doesn't have a whole lot, but I think if you call them, they may have stuff in the store because they'll sell that over the internet just like anything else, but they don't post everything. And the guys who are over there in Nevada know that. They're out in Nevada. But any second level any level two armor in fact not gonna go one step farther any stab armor Which by the way, you know stab armor is that's level one. Nobody sells it as officially level one But back when Second Chance came about and the other two companies that were the only Kevlar in the world in the United States or anywhere for commercial use, Level 1 was first and that will protect against lead. Okay, not many people are shooting lead but there's some out there. However, it still helps the fragmentation. Level 2, level 3 is obviously what you'd prefer. You're going to find a lot of level 2. Don't spend 2, 3, 4, 500 dollars on a vest like that. You just need it as under...look at it as under armor, okay? Now, then go out and get a couple of those really cool, less expensive level 3, level 4 plates. Take your pick. Now, what did you just do? You're an armadillo. You know what, if it gets to the plate, that lower armor is going to help a lot. In fact, it's going to reinforce and dissipate the energy as the bullets are trying to penetrate. And if your plate's doing its job, it's going to stop it. But you know what the difference is? It's what you're going to feel when it hits that plate. And that's the other half, is getting punched by Muhammad Ali three or four times, guys. Remember, that's what everybody will tell you. What was light get shot with a vest on? Man, it was like somebody kicked me like a mule. Now it doesn't mean you just rolled over and flew backwards in the air. It means that all that energy has to dissipate over that area. And it's a pretty focused area. The good thing is that the plate and the and warrior soft armor distribute that energy over a wider space, but it's still focused. This is why you see that dimple point and a little blossom around the outside from the outer edge of stress against the tissue. There's the center, like it looks like a tit. Okay, that's what it looks like. You got a, you know, a nipple in the middle and you got a tit around the outside. You can see right where the edge of the tit is. That's all the best way to describe it. Okay, it's real simple. Everybody can appreciate that. Looks like what? Oh, you're right, it does. But the big thing here again with helmets, any helmet is a good helmet, but the more armor you have, the better off you'll be. There's Kevlar floating around all over the place out there. Don't complain about anybody picking anything up because just like Carl said, a lot of people are too damn lazy to get off their hind end to do anything. So if Fred went out there and got something, congratulate him and say good. Now we'll see if we'll watch for something newer, but if that's what you got, that's what you got. Remember, positive forward, always positive forward. because, again, it's going to take time. Some cases people just don't have the budget for those items because we did spend money on a lot of other things. Optics, as has been discussed, thermal, night vision, the weapon system itself. And I'm going to get on that in a minute. In fact, a little attention we want to touch on that too. But real quick, somebody's asking again. OK, over at Sportsman's Guide. at www.sportsmansguide.com. They got an 80% off sale. You guys need to go through this. Some of you people can wear the stuff that's marked down so cheap, it's ridiculous. And if you sign up, there's that 10% discount on top of everything else. You get an extra discount. If you get onto their email thing, all of that, do it. Get into all of that. In that scroll, now every time I went over this last 24 hours, the Kevlar helmet chin straps came up first. I mean like the very first item, you know, from left to right. But it could come up anywhere. You're going to have to go through there to find them. But the price is ridiculous. It's two complete sets of chin strap assemblies for $1.87 or $1.67, whatever it is. With your 10% discount, if you've never done it before, you want to get into Buyers Club. That definitely saves you a lot of money. They have a number of battle shirts and also other clothing items for smaller people. They don't have a lot of big big for a great price. But if you're listening and you're looking for woolly pulleys, they got woolly pulley combat commando sweaters in there for as little as $5, $6 a piece new, but they're in small sizes. Mainly be small left, I don't know. However, these are very high quality British issue woolly pulleys. There's also, I think, an Italian or French one that is very well priced. And again, we've bought these things over the years when they've been available, same model. This is actually a pretty good price and it's over on the 80%, if it really is 80%, I don't know. 80% markdown, 80%! But the fact of the matter is, look at the price, compare it to others, you'll see what I mean. Also a number of mag pouches are over there right now, and a number of other tactical camouflage items. You need to go look at it, sportsmansguide.com. This is for the Labor Day weekend. Those helmet chin straps, they're for the newer helmets, but they can be adapted to other equipment, which is what I'm doing with them. Go ahead, jump in there, please. Yeah, last time I was perusing Sportsman's Guide, I also noticed they had the British DPM Woodland shirts and I think they have jackets as well. You know, very high quality British made and that pattern works incredibly well in any Woodland setting. And the great thing about the DPM is nobody's using it anymore. All right, there are two countries that I'm aware of that we're using it as Britain and Holland and neither of them are using it. They've all moved to multicam. Everybody, the entire world has moved to multicam. The Mexican drug cartels are using it. The Russian mercenaries, the wagon group, they're using it. The Taliban is using multicam now. So how was it? Antifa, yeah, the police are using it. Antifa is using it. Literally everybody is using multicam. So if you got your guys all decked out in multicam, which was like tip of the spear back in 2012, nobody was using it yet except the militia. Only the militia was using it. Well now everybody else is using it too, so we need to look different. It's not the go-to uniform if you don't want to be shot by friends, okay? In other words, it's now mostly a faux uniform or an aggressor uniform for people who will probably be the ones shooting at you. And again, it's not that we expect the Russians to right away, but it depends on if they make this a UN fair, everybody will be coming after Americans, everybody. So you're going to be at war with everyone. In the meantime, again, good point. This is why I like the paintbrush DPM, but the Dutch has more of the standard US woodland color range. So, if you're looking and you're a woodland unit, because we have a lot of woodland units out there, then yes, the Dutch DPM is a good choice because it matches up pretty well, especially in the smaller web gear items like the MOLLE gear. It's close enough because the pattern gets cut so weird with the small pockets and pouches. Nobody knows. And the big thing is I don't think the woodchucks are gonna be giving me fashion statement cards as I go by. That's a three. He's a six. That's a four. You guys should have dressed better. Nah, I don't think they'll care. So we do, we're gonna make sure we disappear into the background. But most important on that is take a look at what they do have. The Dutch DPM shirts were very cheap. And another thing about those, they're not the new, not as heavy or good a quality as we're seeing. They're better quality uniforms. They're in the older 50-50 cotton polyester cut. They hold up really well in the field, and we've got many, many, many, many, many of them in reserve, and a lot of people using them and having that have them on standby. So that's another one's good. Also in that note, They have the Dutch field jacket liners for $6, also in that sale system, and they go up to 2x. 2x. Listen, if you're anybody's big out there, or even if you're not, if you're like a big guy but not really big, I will remind you that if you're wearing a parka overlay and using those field jacket liners, you want it a little bigger because you're probably going to have other layers underneath. And I don't like getting squished in my clothing because everything's stressed. I can always use suspenders, I can always cinch things up, but if I'm all compressed, I'm not breathing right. Always keep that in mind. You're going to be exerting yourself with what's coming. Trust me, in many cases, you certainly don't want to necessarily, but you will have to. In other words, you don't get to choose when somebody's chasing your ass or when you're trying to kill them, and you get tit for tat, equal opportunity, dine time situation. So, make sure that we square that technology away. That's Sportsman's Guide dot com. Now, everybody listen, because I want to get this out before it disappears. I think it's only today and that's it. 5Dtactical.com. Write that down. 5Dtactical.com. 5d tactical.com They had a weekend sale they do ar-15 80% lowers I don't think they do polymer at all. I think I've only seen aluminum They do both billet and they do stamped. Okay, so in there I Think it's blim category, but it's actually on the front page if you go to the front page You can scroll down and find it but pay attention I'm gonna read this the way the title reads so you can find it AR15 80% lower billet. That's lower receiver, but it's lower billet. That's how it's printed. 6061-T6 curved raw aluminum base price for that receiver lower receiver 80%. So I got to have a jig. If you don't have jigs, you're gonna have to pick one up somewhere. Probably there. But $49.99, okay, $50 for a lower. Now, I don't carry the way. I've carried probably in the ARs, God knows how many of what mix types, whatever you guys had in the field that I checked out or that I've used and personally built. We've lost track of decades ago, okay, but most were stamped. Billet is great and I don't have a problem with that. That's why this is no problem for me. However, $49.99 is for if you buy one. If you buy, I think, five or more, it goes to $42. Guys, if you buy eight plus of these, it goes down to $40 for a billet AR-15 lower receiver 80%. That's $40. $39.99. I will throw a penny in. There we go. $40, right? Again, this is at 5dtactical.com. 5dtactical.com. That's 5, and then the letter D, and then tactical. T-A-C-T-I-C-A-L.com. And the description for the least expensive. Now, if you want to, what they mean by curved is there is a curve cut in the magazine well. Instead of it coming straight across, they did that Arkey formula thing that was real popular for what, about two years ago? It's one of those come and go things. Personally, because it's $10 cheaper, that's why I'm pointing it to this. They work, there's nothing wrong with them. This is a billet cut with a solid trigger guard. This does not have the snow guard. This has a solid bridge. from the base of the magazine well from the center of the magazine well across to the where the trigger grip you know the pistol grip comes into lock into the lower receiver okay so it is that's the only unique thing about it ain't nothing to write home about these things are slab side which is fantastic I've always questioned why bother mimicking a lot of stuff that you know I understand why they were doing it Vietnam shave weight, shave weight, shave weight But in a production situation and wartime production especially, that stuff needs to be thrown out the window, especially in a crisis, defend the homeland thing. So again, AR-15, 80%, it's an 8-0% symbol, lower billet, 6-0, 6-1-T6 curved. These are raw aluminum. How would I finish those? Paint. You want to put Durocoat on it, put Durocoat on it. You want to put Krylon on it, put Krylon on it. You know what you do when it gets tired? You do what the British used to do. They used nothing but standard lead-based, aluminum, or forgive me, enamel paint. I foolishly years ago wanted to strip a British Enfield that was a Mark IV. And I started taking a little bit of the paint off where I took the stocks off and I looked at it. And it was black, but there was some other color showing through. That's because it was dark green. Then there was another color showed through. That was earth brown. Then there was another color, dark green. Then there was another, there were like 14 layers of paint on this gun. You know what I realized? Why am I taking the paint off? It's protecting the metal from rusting. It can't possibly be touching air. Air is what creates oxidation. So what do you do to protect something like this? Well, if you've got somebody who's anodizing, I'd go out and have them anodize whatever color you want. Pomegranate, pews, pink, whatever. I prefer earth colors. And if not, look at that. It's a miracle. I pushed a little button on the can. I get the color on the metal I want. It's a miracle and you know what happens when it wears down? You do with the British jet. In fact, you know what I would do if it wore down? I would grab a different, slightly different shade of something and I would only touch it where it needed, you know, here and there and I'm progressively making an ad hoc camo pattern. If I'm putting this together, this is a tool in the toolbox. It does not need to look real pretty. Most important, it needs to disappear. I don't want people to see it. I want it to be camouflaged, camouflaged. Okay, so camouflaged. So anyway, this is a cheap solution. It's probably the best price to country as far as I know right now. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. Hey, this is Carl, Virginia. Yeah, real quick, and this is all stopping, but you know, we've been dealing talking about a drone defense for a little while, but has anybody, any mad scientist, reloader out there figured out how to turn a 37 millimeter case into a shotgun drone killing round? Well, you know what, actually if you recall, originally during Vietnam when they started issuing out the M79, you know, they made a buck shell for the 40 millimeter. It was just a big ass, you know, with a flat, I think they used a little bit of aluminum, it wasn't plate. It was a heavy gauge, heavy, heavy gauge, almost like a foil. and the charge went in, then you laid that down, and then they loaded up something like, I think it was 60 or 80 pellets of number four, or it was number three buck. It was steel, it had to be ball bearings, because it had to conform to the Geneva Convention. Basically, you could do the same thing. The only problem with the launcher is if you did it, you need to make up a... wad that works like it does in a bird gun because we don't want it to spread as soon as it leaves the tube. In fact, everything we've talked about, like I've said before, if I was reloading for anti-personnel, I would not be using a conventional wad. I would be using cardboard or sheet metal cutouts. for the for the wad base. I might cut the wad down, you know, cut the feathers off the wad so it, it, you know, backset the powder, keep it where it needs to be. But I would still put a, you know, either I could do that wad or I could do a flat wad with a little bit of paper. And what you do is load up as much shot as you choose within reason without losing velocity and putting stress on the tube. In this situation where we're talking air defense, We need bird shot. We need, not bird shot, we need, we do need commercial bird wads slash hunting wads. And the reason is we want to keep that group tight so that when the wad finally opens or when that when that little butterflies open up and release the shot it stays tighter to the target. Now there's no reason to not make something like that that would work with a 37 millimeter. Good point. The big thing you got to watch is mass Needle-Sassay creates resistance, resistance with the 37 millimeter duplicates in the flare launchers, at least ones that are rifle mounted. Those we'd have to be careful of because of, you know, again, pressure considerations. Now, with a 37 millimeter sealed breech gun like a big-ass single shot, oh, it could go a little farther with that. In fact, here's one, Carl. What about those 27.5, was it 27.4, 27.5, come on Mark, 26.5 flare guns that are all over the place. They'd make really great and handy scatter guns in general. Of course, I would never do that because they're flare guns. But fact is with a black powder charge or with a, again, a low end burn charge, you know, shotgun powder. What we could do is come up with the same thing that the oh, that's right The Germans did this in World War two. They took the twenty six point five shells loaded them with a Ball-bearing load, I guess probably it's where they got the idea for the 30 millimeter Vietnam But they do it they carried those for the same purpose, you know, they could use it as a flare gun boom But in close quarter defense, rather than trying to shoot somebody with a not so impressive flare, not that I want to get hit by it, instead they had anti-personnel shell loads that they could load. So yeah, could be done, but we want to keep that shot out farther and that's like you said where the mad scientist comes in. I think the cheapest, easiest way to do it would be to use, oh, possibly like milk carton material. That would be an option. The plastic, the milk, creamy milk curtain, don't just use one layer. You cut it in strips. What you do is roll it back depending on how deep you want to make it. You want to actually make it the same length as the case that the ammunition is going in. The bullets are going projectiles. And then you come back and you make a little piece of probably I would say maybe plywood. Cut a circular piece of plywood, staple the butterflies to that, and then insert that into the... once you've got that assembled, insert that proper dimension into the case. The only other consideration is you got to keep those butterfly wings from opening too soon. A cheat on that would possibly be to use string. And on the far end towards the muzzle, of the in this butterfly, what you do is you actually take string and you hold the basket together, but you want it to be a cheap, like least expensive China Sport, very light duty sewing thread. The experiment would then be to see how much resistance that offers when the shell goes down the 37 millimeter, leaves the tube and then wind resistance picks up because you want just enough that it holds together for a certain count And then finally it fails and the butterfly opens up releasing the shot so that it can disperse. Of course, now if you hit somebody at close range of that, it'd be like hitting them with a shotgun shell beanbag exploding or explosive round and it would be devastating. So as a personal defense round, it'd be cool. But as an air defense round, it would work. There you go. Remember, one person shouldn't be shooting at a drone. Everybody with an air defense gun should be shooting at the drone. And you know what? Shotguns are so lightweight and so cheap that I don't want a magazine fed, really bulky, really, they're trying to do this right now. The drone fighter is the Turkish shotgun with a magazine, which is true, it is. But what is really interesting is all the what everybody's calling FUD guns guys quit making fun of any firearms on her I don't care who they are Anybody who's got a gun like that better not be pissing about our guns, right? But you know what a featherweight Ithaca semi-automatic shotgun with a bird barrel. Well keyword there is featherweight Why do they call them featherweights? Oh, that's right. They're built light so they're comfortable to carry when you're in the field I need a lightweight long barrel anti-bird gun that has shells that are already built for it. Oh, look at that! I go over to the store and I can buy waterfowl loads. And they have steel ball bearings. And they're like in number three and number four buck or BB or take your pick. I can go to a number of different larger projectiles, but not too big. And they have a long barrel, which means I keep that tight and boom go ahead jump in there Yes, Carl again. I thought I thought there's a great gun out there. It's the Mossberg 940 and it's got like a I want to say 28 or meeting the 30 inch barrel and it's gonna map to the goes all the way out slightly beyond the muzzle actually And as far as air defense gun, oh man, that's, you couldn't ask for a better gun. The other thing is the Mossberg 900 series, now in a couple of the 930s, those things will run like a rape date. It doesn't care, it didn't care what ammunition you put in there. What you put in it, yeah. Yeah, a Benelli, you want to put like the highest quality Ammo that impossible and it's like a race car. I want the expensive gas a Mossberg does not care. He even put the cheapest target loads or the Most you know highest pressure buckshot, whatever it just eats it all up faster more Well, I guess the way to think about it for everybody who's forgetting you know The drone of toy problems gonna come and go does everybody understand that? The drone of toy problem is not going it's in vogue for the moment But here's the problem. It's kind of like when computers showed up in offices where you didn't need computers. It takes a lot of personnel support and a lot of extra time to piddle with the electronics, anything like this. Is it worth it to have it and make it part of the formula? Yes. We're at a spike right now where because this is the only reason they're being successful in this situation. Neither side is playing even near any of its cards. Neither side, neither the Russians nor the Americans and their puppets the global, you know, the globalist Europeans. Neither side has turned any of their electronic countermeasures technology on. Why? Because they're saving it for the big fight. At this point, you're in what is a challenge battlefield where everybody, both sides, have been using up a lot of billions of dollars worth of equipment that they already paid for in the last 50, 40, 30, and 20 years. And by the way, a lot of people have been dying recently with ammunition made by their grandfathers. You all think about that. Well, well, well, well, it's all old ammo. It's all old equipment. How many people do you think died by a Peppish in this last two years of war? You know Peppish 41 submachine gun? You know you've got some shitheads and that's the only way I can describe it. You got idiot videos. They're done by the US government for propaganda purposes. And it shows two idiots that are American troops. And they're guys who go, what's that? It's a Russian Zom-Jing gun. It's a piece of junk. How many people died at the hands of somebody with that gun in hand? Garbage like that to try and stupefied the troops that I have to work with. Because I'm gonna try and bad mouth a weapon out there that, by the way, will kill you dead, dead, dead. It's a very stupid and foolish thing to do, but it's the kind of buffoonery you see that's kind of a holdover from grade school. And in reality, and you give me, you know what, I'll tell you what, on the one hand, you got a picture of them, they're kicking this thing around, they picked it up, and it's something that somebody had as an issue weapon. Now, in the same breath, and this is what always gets me, is you see that mighty fine M16 you're carrying in whatever model? Lose any trips today? carrying the most sophisticated weapon on the planet, you're still your buddy's dead, dead, dead, isn't he? What caught up with your buddy? Where you are? See what killed him? Did you know what shot him? No you don't, because in the battlefield you know what's happening? Shit, excuse me. Junk is flying everywhere. And you know what I really like is, hold on a second, I want to drive this home. Guys, if you have a bunch of people with submachine guns, you can keep everybody busy while the guys with the big boom toys. are really putting the hurt to people. Because do you think anybody's gonna stand up and go, well they're only shooting like 30 Tokarev. Oh my God, my leg, oh my face, oh my all, he hit me in the head. You know what I mean? Guys, if you use your weapons properly, if you are skilled and have mastered the trait, I don't care what tools you pull out of the toolbox, you can win. But you have to understand how to use all of them. And being a simpleton and ridiculing a weapon system that you know nothing about, Makes you look pretty stupid in my camp now mother people probably love it. Oh look. They're ridiculing Fred the you know the Ivan's gun How many Peppishes kill how many men in Korea us and how many American Vietnam vets didn't come home? And there were just many Peppiers 43 Peppiers 41 Every kind of submachine gun the Vietnamese loved them because they were tiny people and a lighter smaller weapon one fit their fit their nature good jump in their color This is Carl again, so if we end up at a full board war war Where I mean whatever drones we have that that's what we'll use until they're gone Yeah, because of course Taiwan is gonna be a prime target and where do all the semiconductors come from? Oh, yeah, Taiwan and so yeah, what you got is all you got, you know, no more coming in Yep, and one of the things about that is if you were the Chinese, I mean number one. It's a it's a Here's the problem with this situation. It's a gem to capture, but it's a threat to destroy. Does everybody understand? It's that there's the balance. And by the way, let me ask you something. And I'm serious about this. China is right there. How long would it take? Now, don't give the Taiwanese a short stick. Taiwan has been ready for fighting communist China all its life because Formosa That's how it was created. It was created out of war. Everybody seems to forget that. Oh my God, they're shooting at each other. When I was growing up, we used to watch on TV where they talk about the artillery duels. Because the artillery islands would shoot back and forth at each other. And it goes back before I was born. As soon as Formosa came about when Mao took over China. So the fact is that here's the problem. Don't you think that the US government has a plan to nuke Taiwan to make sure that China doesn't get it? Hey Mark. Would you would you think? Go ahead caller jump in there, please. Hey Mark, this is John. On the Peppy at 41 the Germans had a conversion to convert it over to a 9mm. It was an insert that went in the bag well and they used a MP40. barrel and a spacer and the converter to mover and that conversion is now available from DK reductions here in Kentucky. Over. Oh, right. You can switch them. Yeah, go ahead. Your MP- well, your PP-41 can be converted over to 9 millimeter, which means it's reasonable cost to shoot. Over. Okay, now let me point something out. What is the cheapest submachine gun kit out there right now on the market? 41. Parts kit. Yep, over at Centerfire Systems you can get a PetPish 41 and a PetPish 43 bare bones kit for about $54. There are 62 maybe for the set. They may be sold out if they're that cheap. You can still buy over at Centerfire or you can go over to Apex Gun Parts and you can get a Peppish kit that literally was a brand new gun. They walked into the garage, they chopped it up, perspex, and turned it into a parts gun. Okay? They don't have any barrel. Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Back up here. If I buy that conversion kit, That I have a barrel don't I get a barrel with that go get a 9 millimeter barrel with that if you do so rather than building it Yeah Go ahead. Go ahead the barrel for the 7.62 with 25 is around 72 $73 and it is available. That's more than that's more than affordable enough Yes, making the peppy ish kits the most useful kits on the market right now because as long as they crank out a bunch of those barrels then theoretically that's the big ticket item. Remember that's why the government chops the barrels up. It demands that you, if you make kits, chop the barrels up. It used to be we got the barrels with the kit. So this way, if you can buy the barrel For that price, and it's a 9mm, you now have the ability to put Peppierches online for about $200. Correct. Not even that. Not even that. Because the kits are as well. Here's the thing. You can get kits right now. Peppierch 41 kits. That come with a mag pouch, four mags, cleaning kit, All the parts except for the receiver and the barrel and again, it's chopped. So the basic parts are there. You just got to figure out the difference in spec for the rest of the metal. And that includes trunnion, that includes, you know, buttstock, everything else. It virtually is This rounds it out and the barrels are in the rechambering it is a Positive thing we got lots of 7.62 by 25, but we're using it in other guns. I'd rather keep running So if I if you could if the peppy ish can be put into service in 9 millimeter that makes more sense and Remember there are lots of semi-automatic Peppy ish 41 that came out years ago Longer barrel because they're built as carbines. They're closed bolt because they're semi auto What's the advantage of that? I'm not saying you would do this but if you have one of the semi-automatic Peppy issues and you have the cut receiver you can use the upper receiver of the Carbine that was made as the template for the spec for the rest of the receiver or another gun. That other gun could be anything. I mean, I would not, I'm not telling you put something together, but if you're creative, wow, think about that. And it would be at nine millimeters, so that would settle the problem of ammunition. Because now everybody has to go to nine millimeter again for the fifth time in my lifetime, fourth time in my lifetime. Well, we have a common weird educational purposes only Yeah, exactly, but that makes that very useful and again I don't think you'd need the conversion to the MP40 mag in order for that 9 millimeter barrel to sit in that trunnion and receiver where it belongs Now here's another thing about 90mm and Tokarev, the 762-Tokarev projectile, well, PEPI-H-Berg, Tokarev, etc. is on the Chinese, Tokarev's, they have a back spacer to the rear of the magazine when they built the originals. Later on, they started after they did the conversions the first time around. The next thing that they did is actually made a smaller magazine, but initially they did not build a special mag to convert to 9mm. They simply put a back spacer in those tow grips. Now, that would be a little different, but it could be done with a spacer, for instance, with the peppy-ish drums. because the Peppier strum opens up, you have the ability to create a standoff. I probably can make it out of sheet metal, but you could make it also out of hard plastic. And that would bump the 9 mil forward so that it wouldn't have as much of a step off in the front. That means when, and of course this is for educational purposes, but I'm just thinking and you know, engineering wise, This would be a quick solution and you've got a 73, well 72 round drum and that's a lot of firepower. Just very handy firepower. And now it's a 9mm, which is very handy because you can get lots of ammo. Here's something to think about. So if you go take a look at apexgunparts.com, apexgunparts.com, go through their kits, go through Centerfire. I think Centerfire has the more complete kit that has the mags. They're Polish, everything's ready to go as far as you know it's all there, which means you don't have to figure much out. And the big thing is that you can still find mags, but when you're buying the kit, you're getting mags, the kit, all the accoutrements, it's a basic combat load. A light combat load because it's a peppyish and it's called a burp gun for a reason. And the stick is empty. Oh man, that didn't take long. It's the only thing about it. It's again, you gotta control the trigger finger. Always remember that that's the most common problem with individuals who don't have much experience with automatic weapons and why you really shouldn't give it to a person who doesn't have any time in the field until they've had a little bit of work. You had time to actually see how they function. That's how you determine what the individual should gravitate to in the way of a firearm. So, anyway, real quick, one more time, somebody's asking here. Those AR-15, they're raw aluminum. There, nothing wrong with that, just paint them. 5Dtactical.com, $49.99 for the AR-15 80% lower billet 6061 T6 curved raw aluminum. But if you buy five or more, it drops down to 42. If you buy eight or more, it drops down to $39.99 with text license and data preparation. It's an Earl shag paint job, that's what you need, because it's, again, raw metal, but these are billet receivers. They're 80%, they do not require any paperwork. If you were looking at putting some in reserve, Excuse me if you're looking at trying to build more ARs and everybody should be now somebody just asked me here to well What kind of upper would you put on that anything was cheap? I am dead cold serious. In fact, I'm gonna put out the call guys I'm looking for the cheapest absolute chintzy is cheapest air 15 with a regular charging handle rub Don't even need a forward assist. I wouldn't care about that But a forward assist would be good, but it's not critical. And the cheapest and preferably a pencil barrel. I want it with an M4 type plastic front guard. I want a pencil barrel. It can be a flat top, doesn't have to have a carry handle. Carry handles cost more now. Used to be there a dime a dozen cheap and came to the rifle automatically. Just goes. Now it goes the other way. Now the flat tops. or how they make them and that saves so much material because they just grind the top and then you put on the roof what you want. But I want to, I'd like to find something in the 160. I know I wish in one hand defecating the other. But I'm looking for the cheapest air 15 upper and we can pass on to everybody. The cheapest and we got to tell those factor in shipping. Always remember that. Let's see what our shipping is. But we're looking for a straightforward 556 standard NATO round chambering. It could be a wild, we don't care, could be the wild round end, the wild chambering, that's fine. But a light as possible, no frills, minimal cost, because look at this, hmm, let's see. I can buy 80% air 15 lowers for $40 if I buy eight or more at a time. And if I could find uppers that are reasonably priced, the rest of it's song and dance. You can shop all over the place and cherry pick all the rest of the parts you need and you're done. But we're looking for a Gladius slash cook bottle washer truck driver rifle package. The average person, which is 99% of you, nobody's gonna be a double somersaulting super jet jock. Delta Force fill in the blank kind of guy instead most of what you're doing is very blase Every day same thing, but you don't want to be so complacent you get caught flat-footed without a weapon Your enemy laughs and mockingly executes you at their discretion. We don't want that We need more weapons that people can carry that are comfortable that are lighter And we need to also make them a lot more affordable because we're going to need a lot more of them. We are going to war. The enemy is already at war. If you look at some of the stuff they've been doing just this over the weekend, they're flat out telling you, in fact, the latest lie, oh, if Trump gets in, they're going to arrest everybody and execute people. Well, somebody's probably going to be arresting you. And treason, well, you should be treated for treason as traditionally as the case. And we're not talking like this, these people know they're involved in treason. What everybody is yap, what they're yapping about is the fact that, well, we get to jump on the idea that, and a lot of people have talked about it, that, well, you already set a precedent, you're just gonna grab people and arrest them randomly. Yeah, we're going to do, that's what the regime is saying. Well, how about we just do it back at you in spades? You can't do that! You ever notice these pricks always do the same thing? You know, it's you know, whatever they're doing, they always shout at you about it. You know, and of course how it's terrible, you're doing it! When you're not, they are. And in this case, as was pointed out by the people that are bringing forward the idea of what needs to be done, if you're, if you're having a tough time with that idea, then step aside. Somebody else will step up and take care of this. But just get out of the way when the time comes. And yes, a bunch of them need to be arrested. County sheriffs are already being used. Look how Trump was grabbed in Georgia. Was that a federal case? Was that a federal charge? Were they locally charging? How about the thing in New York? Well, why is it, and we've said this, why isn't everybody else doing it to them? Well, you can't do that. You guys are, you have ethics. Yes, we do, but you've set precedent. And once you've set precedent, and that's what's being argued is, why don't we use it? So go after all of them the exact same way, because we are at war. See, that's the part. Well, we could cause a break. You're already in trouble. We already have a problem. They've already created it. They're trying to kill you. Try and destroy the country. They obviously have a plan coming up. They figure you're not smart enough to figure out maybe we should beat the living snot out of them the way they plan and try to murder us. And you know they do. They plan on trying to kill you. Let's get over that. Let's get on with the idea. Them first. When the time comes, this kicks off. Them first in spades. Now, we've already made that decision. Like I said, everybody is like, now all of a sudden, oh my goodness, you know, they're not listening or they're violating the law. They're going to continue to do that. Why? Because you've let them get away with it for so long. Why would they not continue? They're doing exactly what we warned everybody they do. There's nothing that we haven't explained everybody a billion times over in the Patriot effort and so many variations of the conversation, all bleeding back to what a communist do, what communists are doing right now. So we are at war. Now, the big thing is treat them that way and make sure you keep your boot on their throat. Because if they get up, or in fact if they need to get near anything where they can sling mud, they're going to. If they can try to hurt you, of course now they themselves, and I'm talking about these creatures, remember the cops and the military are the ones who cooperate with that. And we'll be cooperating with it. And everybody goes, no! We need to remember the cops and the military, I do. Every place where every wicked deed has happened here in recent years, cops weren't happy to facilitate. What are you talking about? Show me where they didn't. They deliberately weed out anybody that wouldn't be willing to do that. Yeah. And so again, the difference is that rather than somebody going, oh my God, cops are going to fill in the blank. The cops are already working for the communists. In fact, we watched this years ago. They love the Communists because it gives them more power if they're sadists and they're backstabbing asshats, which a bunch of them are. Nowadays, don't you thinking 40, 50 years ago or 70, 80 years ago or whatever? Boy, get that out of your mind. And even then, there were more enough of the spit swappers and ring knockers around to backstab your ass every chance they could when they're told to do so by their lodge buddies, which is where we are right now. Anyway, let's do this, because we gotta stop right where we are. And again, I got off an angle that's very important though. Let's take a break, and then we'll come back, because it is... 602, my bomber clock here, my French Knuckle Bomber Clock. Hold on, let me make sure this... Oh, it's ticking very finally, is the measure on the back. the other night that 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 is free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shit you've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm And keep our country deep and dead 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 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? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to torture freedom, bright as Iowoki vanished in the midst for whence he came. His words were true, we are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as pirates trample 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, well, the land of the free. Second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Cornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. North, East, Southeast, and ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. You can see high-dollar merchant radio operators, no matter what body of water you're resting upon right now. Re-broadcasting and listening both analog and digital. And it is a beautiful communications Tuesday, although it's Monday Tuesday because we had a holiday weekend, so it's Monday Tuesday. It is the 3rd of September. 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. I'm a doctor, not a brick mason. And 2024 battle for the Republic Book One, the dance swords. And so for everybody out there, it's been a busy weekend. We actually had a great time, but got a lot of work done. Let me relate one story though. Okay, Uncle Mark has worked on a lot of military vehicles that are inane, okay? So we have a bunch of Bren gun carriers. Now the Tuna Mobile is long gone, that's somewhere else. But we run into a handful of these Bren gun carriers as Barn finds, and Larry Ellsworth helped us to find three. He knew where one was that he personally owned, and then we eventually tracked down because of those guys, others. So I'd say we have a gaggle now of about 27 to, I don't know, it could be 30 some Mark II Bren gun carriers in our fleet. They're five tons, they're fully tracked, they're fun as hell to drive. They have all steel tracks, god help you if you stomp the brakes and you're on pavement, cuz it's like, you think that's gonna lock onto something? Anyway, so you gotta pay attention. As a driver, you constantly have to calculate everything, use your brain. So anyway, this last weekend I didn't spend a whole lot of time, but I came over and I was watching some maintenance that was being done and they opened up the panels below the troop seat area's deck is where all the controls are. It's a steering wheel vehicle, but it's not. Okay, in reality it has the same kind of tank drive that you have in most other armored vehicles for the day. But what they did is they created what's called a translator. Now there's two things about that. One is there's this big ass piece of metal that looks like a kidney. And it does. But there's a post where you don't like the inner arc of the kidney and how kidneys bend, right? You're on the inboard side, the tiny side. There's a post there. It's about the size. Well, it's an inch and a quarter shaft. I've had to build them from scratch. We actually built these. And the piece of metal itself is probably three quarters, maybe I've never actually specced the original ones. We built it three quarter 4140 chromoly. These plates which are massive, right? Big, allosive, massive, they're big. But anyway, this translator actually, when you turn the steering wheel, it moves these little roller and bars that actually do what a regular two-bar control system would on a regular armored vehicle for the day. And what's fascinating is when you lift the plates, it's daunting because you look at it and it's like, oh my God, where does this all go? And so they're looking at having to fix some of the rods, because what usually happens is moisture collects down there. And yep, there was moisture. And yes, there was a spot that was a little rusty. So the thing was acting up when it was turning. It was getting some kind of shimmy. What that is is that rod was tired. So they're all looking at it and thinking, oh my god, we got to take this off. We got to take that off. And they could have said it was there at that moment. I said, whoa, whoa, wait a minute. You got to take one off. No? OK, what do you think the solution is? We have to do this, take that off, take that big stinking plate off. I said, whoa, do you think that Ford thought that way? What? Do you think Ford would want to do minor repair? I mean, this is not today. Today, Ford engineers, they're horrible. Ford engineers are totally incompetent, okay? So are GM and Chrysler. Don't worry, catch up, they're all the same. But back then, maintenance was always a consideration because you got to turn the vehicle around fast as you can. So I said, let me show you something. Those are all bolts and connectors up here, right? Yeah. See, but if you look down here, you have these little push, you push the rod in, you turn it a little bit, you don't see you got enough leeway. Watch this. And I turned it and I came it, he came straight out and I said, now all you have to do is disconnect that bolt and that pin. And you're done. Oh my god. You mean it's all like that? I said yes. It's all like that, okay? So focused on the complication of the head of the equipment, of the piece of equipment machinery that you got to remember, follow everything through, look to see where it goes. And at the other end where the articulator translates, they actually have these station points where you can disconnect it from what it controls, which is the Jimmy bar, so to speak. And it only takes about seven minutes. You got to do the cover plates just like they did. But instead of it taking, you know, you're going to make two hours worth of out and God knows how long because it had to figure out how to put it back together. I said they wouldn't want to do that in the field. Always remember this guy's kiss. Keep it simple, stupid. Back then we had engineers. Today we have incompetence. Back then everything was, you know, I got to get it. I got to get it put together, obviously. But when I put it together, I got to be able to take it apart because guys are being shot at. Stuff's got to be fixed. It's going to get hit. You got to be able to make it as simple and straightforward as possible. Kiss keep it simple stupid in the old engineering school today. It's you know who cares incompetence rules idiocy rules And because it's gonna be planned obsolescence except that's one thing if it's a vehicle sold as a commercial mechanism It's another thing if you're actually having to move something in the field and you actually have to maintain it because it's all you got So something to think about there so anyway I saved them a whole lot of work and they were in they had to step back and think and then I also was very embarrassed embarrassed I made them little embarrassed I said Excuse me, did anybody bother to crack the manual for this? Because they're right over there on the shelf and those are the actual manuals and by the way the English military, the British and the Canadian and Australian military, I think they speak English. And I'd be willing to bet you could probably understand every word in that manual over there. Maybe. Okay, you should be able to. Oh, we're replacing with her feet and shoes. But anyway, we were having fun. So... That particular Bren gun, Bren gun carrier is back on the road and it didn't take as much time and everybody had more fun playing this weekend because what do you think they were doing with them? They were driving them. They were letting the guys drive them too, which is fun. I didn't get to stick around for much of that, but I did get a chance to see a couple of piece of equipment that I haven't seen in a few years. It was a fun holiday weekend. Go to war in 24 and meanwhile you get to play with all the skittles, little skittle bugs. Well, and the big Skittlebugs too, with a hard shell and a big bite. Let's see. And anyway, next, oh, Communications Tuesday. Real quick, I had several requests. The pouches that I was talking about last week is over at the place I mentioned in the last hour. Go over to SportsmansGuide.com. They have, they're a black radio bag. They are in the discount clearance thing for the weekend and actually even I think the regular clearance. There are the brand new ones which are like $6, $7 a piece, but there are the used ones which are about $4 a piece. I've gotten both. I'm not impressed. The new ones are nice, but used ones are so heavily, the thing so heavily built, the pouch is great used. I already picked up a, in fact that was one of the things I did yesterday. I had picked up a dozen of those, half a dozen six, and I was distributing those to a unit yesterday and I already did another unit last Friday. Just for as long as I was going to see them, I picked them up, they cover the cost, everybody's happy. It's free shipping. So again, you buy enough stuff at Sportsman's Guide. It is the ANPRC 148 pouch. They are black. In fact, the ones I was reading off from are now in the hands of another totally different unit I took all those that I had here that were piled up They all went to another unit and the reason these are great for the Bao fiang radios They work really well with the Bao fiang military battery or a security battery pack, which is a little bigger one of our allies had one at the Hautari meet up here a couple weekends ago and these You should be able to fit two of those radios with the batteries In addition to that you've got enough room for spare parts even the charger if there's a charger You know charger connectors and you know wall warts or whatever cable connectors There's enough room with a side pocket For your wired your forgive me your tape type Bush antennas those are popular military antennas So everything can go into that pouch for two radios Which means it's sealed locked up ready to go all you do is grab the pack everything's there Don't steal from that to make other equipment work Anything is part of your Minuteman kit. I know it's tempting I know people have done this all the time grab the flashlight or something off their rig Because they had something they do in the garage and they got it hanging up near than the garage in one of the bins and that's the one great flashlight I can think of but then they don't put the flashlight back or they don't put the multi-tool back And what happens, you get out in the field and you reach for that pocket and you open up that Velcro and it's not there. So you've got to be, you've got to be, you've got to be religious about maintaining your combat rig, your combat load. You're going to war in 24. Because of that, you need to be squared away. Those radio pouches, they're black, they're kind of like a big P or maybe a reverse Q, take your pick. because they've got that one long side where the antenna pocket is. They're not that big. The way they're set up, they have both a belt slip and they have allus keepers, but they have two sets. Everybody goes, why they have two sets? Because they're set up so that you can clip those right to the side of a standard allus pack, medium or large. There's a couple of hanger points that were designed for anything you want to, although a lot of people put canteens on there years ago. But what's cool is that the strapping on those pouches matches up with the connector points. And guess what? You can clip with the Alice clips, that pouch right to the side of your backpack, boom, boom, done. In real quick, in like Flynn, and finished, and on to other things. Only takes a moment. And you can also hook it up to your belt. It has an upper connector. The problem is the bottom connectors don't make any sense unless you're putting it on a backpack. We're on a back rig, we're on a salt vest. You could hook it up on the back of the salt vest right in the middle and have it sitting there, which is fine. So take a look. Hey Mark. Anyway, solutions. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. Hey Mark, this is Irish Whiskey and just a quick... comment kind of out in left field here, but concerning vehicles, I have an interesting situation where I just discovered that I am going to be inheriting a late 1950s British motorcycle that is actually fully restored in excellent condition, all this type of thing, and not really wanting to play great escape, but I'm kind of thinking about putting a sidecar on it. and preparing this for possible future use. Now I was wondering what your thought was about use of old motorcycles. Oh they're great. The only thing is, what is it? A Triumph? Yeah actually a Triumph T110. I'd save you T110. Probably, okay. It has the the the bane of all English motorist electronic system on board, the Lucas electrical system. It probably even has a banner decal on there somewhere, Lucas electric, or Lucas electrical. I'd leave it. If it works the way it is and you understand it, I would just leave it. But we always joke about that. I remember last week I was talking about Lucas. As far as using older bikes, I've got a handful stuck all over the place and we throw nothing away but what I do is accumulate as many parts as I can. In this case, if you wanted to put a sidecar on it, there's a number of different aftermarket sidecars and they're not a bad idea. They're really not a bad solution. Of course, people do trailers but think about this. You can still do a trailer but do a sidecar on the bike. It can either be a people transport or it can be a cargo carrier. The Germans were very successful with trike bikes in World War II, God World War I. World War II. And when everybody goes trike bike, guys, you notice they try to avoid showing as many pictures as they used to. When the German army went into blitzkrieg mode, it was the rat pack. What were they using? In fact, what's that got for an engine? 150cc? What do you think? It could be a 110, so it's a T110 for a reason. In 1950, it could be anything. Point is that in World War II, German fast infantry or reconnaissance and other units, the motorcycles that you see with the sidecars, those were dual drive. Those had a drive shaft off of the primary wheel, and they were literally trike bikes. Now think about it. They took full advantage of that. You put a guy in the seat, he's got a MG34 machine gun in a fixed mount forward, and they were using him as mobile high-speed machine gun platforms. But times how many men? Because remember, they pass over this now intentionally. They want you to think about the Panther tank and the Tiger and whatever. But Germany's great success is with some cost. came in with light and fast. And so despite how they try to talk down the Germans, the Germans successfully did what were high-speed cavalry operations. Trike bikes, slash a bike with a motorcycle sidecar is a good thing. Quad vehicles would be a good thing. They're sippers for fuel. One of the most important things we need to remember is gas is going to be tougher to get. motorcycles and quads or even older pieces of equipment like that will become the yeoman of the fleet. They will be doing most of the daily work. Now as far as escape innovation, one cool thing about that bike is it's EMP proof. It's going to be points and condenser, I'll guarantee it. But what I would do is if you're inheriting that bike, make sure you scour the garage or whatever this bike was stored for any and all spare parts and you box everything up and carry everything away whether it's used or not, even if it's used. Why? Well, this is the year 2024. That's a 1950 motorcycle. That's 74 years in the taillights. Okay, that's back aways. Whatever you have to work with, even if it's used and was the worn out part, that's better than having to try and guesstimate from scratch how to build something. Always remember that. Got it. Yeah. Go ahead. Got it. Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean all the on the older bikes like this I mean of course all the documentation is readily readily available for it And of course I'll definitely make sure to haul away any spare parts and all that knowing that you know reliability issues and things with some of these bikes The way to do it is palletize everything you want to you want to now. Here's another thing. You know I know what I do I just spent every part of the every day now. I'm gonna be honest every day. I am doing this I collect old stuff, but I also collect some odds and ends things that we can't really, you can't even buy some of these items now. It can be tools or whatever. Number one, I look at it, I clean all the grime off that I can, or mostly dirt. I'm not worried about grease. Remember, grease is good, but find some heavy, and when I say industrial, I'm talking like Visoquine type. industrial, Ziploc bags. You can find them if you go to this. Usually check if you're a factory nearby. Look at their dumpsters. They usually have something that comes from factory number two and factory number ten and factory number sixteen. If you're really lucky, go in and talk to the guys. I got a plastics plant down the road here that does it for me. But the guy's good. He's conscientious. He hates to see manufacturers go to waste. So I get plastic heating from him as in plastic cardboard stock. But I also get bags and other things from him for free because he's a recycler. He believes in recycling. That's cool. I would be we're writing in step with each other. Now any part that I can you want to bag it up, but don't just bag it up. Okay, I have a Sharpie pen right here in my pocket. In fact, hold on. I can prove it to you. Hold on. All right, Bambi Bambi, I can maybe I can't. Yeah, I can. I can tap it. Hear that? That's on the boom mic I'm using right now. That Sharpie pen is one mission, to make sure that whatever I have in a box is spare parts. I have the manufacturer, the model number, even the motor type, even if the motor isn't relevant to the part. What vehicle is this for? What bicycle is this for? What weapon system is this for? Mr. Sharpie, I make the point of making a slip that goes in the bag, not on the bag. Now, there'll still be one on the bag. That'll be a label from the post office. What? You can get these really cool, like, well, they stand all the test of time and they stick like there's no tomorrow labels for shipping from the post office. And if you clip off all the extra trimming, you get a real nice address label that you, or I should say information label that you can mark with everything you need to put on the bag, stick it on the bag, and it's going to stay on the bag. Okay? Just something to think about. Now here's another thing. Of course, Uncle Mark does not tell you to do this all the time and steal everything, or when you're not stealing, you're using. You're going to procure and then re-appropriate. Redirect, Reapply. Those really great fibrous envelopes that you make for the post office that can handle any kind of weather. Those make really good part storage bags. But the neat thing is they also take a Sharpie on the outside. The Sharpie doesn't come out of that labeling area. So you can mark exactly what part is in there, but you want to make sure you mark it on two sides. Why? Because I don't want to waste a whole lot of Dinka's time out in the garage searching through 20 envelopes or five boxes. If I look on the outside of the envelope, matter which side is up, and I can see what it is, then I know I got the wrong part and I'm not wasting as much time. So a little bit of time spent marking my material is going to save me, or my quartermaster, or somebody else working with me. a lot of time when we're pressed and we're trying to kill the other side before they kill us. Because I gotta save every moment I can. And again, this is all gonna go past me. Some point they're gonna kill, I'm either gonna die because old age. They're going to kill me and think they're going to be happy about that. And well, we'll be doing more of them the same way. Any number of things can happen in between A and B that are just not quite as natural or just, hey, step that car, just have to be in the right place and mark was in the wrong. So when I go, I want to make sure that all the material I've built and what I've done to help with this war effort to beat the New World Order click, from my perspective and my part of the battlefield, I've done everything I can to make it work. Because I plan on passing the baton off to whoever is still breathing and I don't care when I go My attitude is to put a stick something right up their ass until it comes out their forehead And to do that, that's how I live So again everybody not only that I have lots of fun toys things that you wouldn't find anywhere else or something goes You probably don't have yes, I do. I have tools I collect tools for the same reason I collect drafting equipment drafting equipment Yeah, I know it's passé But when all the lights go out, I can still continue to work and design and do things that other people's will go to brain fart. So heads up, think, be creative, have fun. I have a lot of fun with this. To me, it's like finding tools and going, what the hell is that? It's most entertaining to me because I got to figure out what the widget does. Go ahead, call her, jump in there. Hey, this is Carl Virginia. So, you know the for SWAT operations they have a skid steer called the Rook and it's fully armored Lexan glass he Takes a while to shoot through it and all that it basically it's just a sticks of his our eight Skid steer that somebody did the dude turned into a kill dozer and essentially and then painted it black So it wouldn't be hard for us to do that. I know a lot of guys on our side have that because they're in that trade that requires that. So it's a pretty easy thing to do. But of course it's not big enough to be an armored personnel carrier. It's only made to carry one person, which means that if it would need some sort of a trailer or a sled to pull behind it, what would you recommend as far as that? Well, okay, now you've got the right idea. You're talking about a cross-country high-low, right? Skidlifter, correct? Okay, good. We've done that before. Actually, you can do a lot more than one man. Number one, remember, there's a couple things about the skidlifter that we don't need, okay? But the platform is a perfect, retail or fast attack armored platform. One of the things to remember is to look at the base weight of the vehicle is. Okay? Why is that thing so heavy, Carl? Why is it so heavy? It's made to move lots of heavy things. Bricks, pallets of bricks can be lifted up. It can go cross country. It has a high ground clearance, right? But it is designed to lift things very high heights and very rough terrain. That means that if there's weight up front and even with the extended weight and of course which also means additional energy is applied, centrifugal force is a bastard, and also gravity. The counterweight on the rear weighs how much? Most, that's most of the weight of the vehicle. Now the first thing you have to look at is that you're going to take the hydraulics, I mean you can use it, the hydraulics can be used actually for a lift platform for a weapon system Something explain in a minute. We actually the army did something like this But if I take the hydraulic unit off the front and I take the counterweight off the back I know that the frame can handle Whatever the tonnage is that I've just taken off the vehicle so if I'm willing to build a box frame, you don't think kilt kildoser Remember, what did he use? What was one of his building blocks for building the kildoser? What was his most important useful material? Cement. Remember? Okay, he did basically a liberty ship. If you look at how he put the kildoser together, but it's something we've already been talking about for years. You take that chassis, drop all the extraneous weight. Best way to do this is to help you understand what you can do with it. You drive the vehicle to where there's a scale. You weigh the vehicle. You then take off the unnecessary hydraulics, the boom, obviously the front forks are going with that, but they're detachable anyway. Then the counterweight, oh my God, how much weight did I just take off the thing? Now if I take all that extraneous weight off, that's how much weight I can add and still be within the operating parameters for the drivetrain of the vehicle itself. So if you take the front end off, throw that one way. Take that counterweight off and don't throw it away. That's an awful lot of steel. That's worth money. Somebody might want to buy it. But the fact is you can market all that out. You can buy yourself some decent steel. You can go a quarter inch. and actually map out a piranha type body for the vehicle itself. Now the driver station still stays back into the rear. Why? Well, where's the motor? See, the cool thing is, is the motor is actually in a pretty good location too. But you could either make a fast attack vehicle out of the thing, which by the way, it has great altering capability. It has high clearance for a vehicle of its type. You could probably shave off a certain amount of weight because what you're gonna do with the quarter inch plate, everybody goes, well, a quarter inch plate is not gonna stop anything. Well, yeah, will once I'm done incorporating ceramic and cement, because what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna build a wall, or I should say a bucket, that's going to be whatever the size of the height of my armor is on the front rear side panels, whatever. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna incorporate ceramic tile into a layer on the outside towards the incoming, the bucket itself won't be four inches wide, the length of whatever, and I got to have some steel stock in between to reinforce and hold together these buckets I've created. But I'm going to use standard adhesive just to temporarily glue ceramic tile. You can buy it from any surplus or junk store you want. Go to Craig's Bliss or Facebook, get it for free. I've got several thousand tiles of this type always on hand. A lot of them have already been used up. But those are going to be the first part of my armor in the side, the steel casing. Once I've laid the panels on the inside outboard and the inboard side, then I'm going to fill up the bucket with cement. And if you want to, you can even throw some other odd steel stock in there for disruption. And the purpose behind this is that you've created laminate ceramic limestone steel armor. Is it going to stop everything? No, but it'll stop a lot. No, no armor can stop everything, but that's just my internal core armor around the troop area or the weapons support area for the vehicle. Now the driver's station, two ways to build it. Number one, armor it in, needless to say, gotta have a way to get out. So don't you dare box the guy into doom. In fact, there's no reason not to do a better job than the military does with regard to crew evacuation in the event of a suspected catastrophic failure. But you can get optics. In fact, here's a thing, almost all the unique optics you'd need. You can go with a conventional, well, which is what a lot of people are doing, which is conventional cat eye cameras, little tiny spider cameras, and then vision plates on the inside. I would do that. But in addition, I would have a true mechanical set of prison type observation panels. And by the way, if you go to apexgunparts.com, apexgunparts.com, go look at their heavy weapons support parts and pieces. In fact, they got some stuff in there. It's actually dog cheap right now. They just put on sale. Now my driver's station is most critical. Driver has to be able to see, driver has to be able to articulate the motion of the vehicle. He is the center of the universe, even though the commander is the brain. The driver is the guy that keeps you alive. So the driver has to have visibility, the driver has to have protection, the driver also has to have high confidence in his equipment, which means your priority in building something like this is to focus on the optics and the support technology for that particular design, whatever you come up with. Now you want to keep track of what you're doing because you might want to build more than one. And while you might have variations because there are multiple manufacturers that build these vehicles, basic design doesn't change much. So 90% of what you come up with in the way of a pattern could be slid sideways to a second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth model variant. And yeah, it would be a great, it's the perfect, I wouldn't leave, like I said, the hydraulics on unless, and here's some really crude, rude, and bizarre, How many of you remember the articulated elevator systems that we had for the tow launcher? All they are is basically that elevator system. They used to be mounted on the M113. They had a dual launcher tow system. The tow launcher could easily be set up, or a launcher could be set up to articulate using that hybrid arm. And you have the ability to fire over the horizon. take advantage of rolling terrain, okay, you fire from reverse slope, you elevate the launcher, the launcher zeros, and if it's a guided cruise or if it's a guided drone kind, everybody calls them drone nowadays, all they are, just wire guided or radio guided aircraft or rocket. But you launch it, you can see because the camera is sending the message and you're down inside the armored vehicle over the ridge. They articulated an armored arm, allows for you to get it up there, launch, and bring it back down. You're reloading and meanwhile the gunner is monitoring the rocket or the drone as it's fired. It proceeds downrange, boom, does its job, on to other things. There's all kinds of cool stuff you could do with that system now otherwise if you want to if you wanted to our Crainer articulated body which by the way you still could The option would be to build another cement box ceramic steel and cement box with troop doors, troop capability, and you actually can hook it up to the rear. The big thing is you want to be able to talk front to back, so you got to accommodate with communications. Wireless cannot be counted on in a battlefield situation. Mechanical is your first best choice, and you supplement with radio. But you figure that radio creates nothing but a target. A closed wired system is still your first best choice. So does that give you ideas? Sound like we've done it before? We have. You want to know what's really fun? Yeah, Mark. Go ahead. Yeah, I noticed several years ago, I was at an expo and showed that there was a whole bunch of military contractors showing all the new stuff they made. And there was a German one. I think it was, it might have been Rhine Metal. I can't remember. But they had a whole series of little mini tanks. Then we're this kid steer and I guess they were marketing toward urban warfare or something like that but airborne maybe yet airborne because they were small enough to fit inside of like a chinook But, I mean, our military never adopted them because we never saw them. But they are out there. The concept is... We did buy them. No, the US bought them, Carl. We did buy some. We bought about... We bought 200 of them. And they put them into testing and quietly shut up about whatever and then they disappeared. The big thing about them is that these little ferrets... The design, first of all, is based on truck pickup truck parts. in the system. The logic is that if you had to break down, like you said, in an urban environment, theoretically most of the basic components you would need to fix the vehicle could be found in the parts inventory of an auto store. In reality, what they did, that's what the Bren gun was all about. That's what the original Matilda, the first model Matilda, now Mark 1, not the Mark 2, Mark 3s, whatever, well, maybe the Mark 2s. But the design specifically utilized existing truck parts. The present German variant is the exact same idea, and it does make sense. Now, what's happened is the cost and expenditures for certain components have gone way down and certain things have been lightened up. Now, somebody goes, well, what's that going to do against an Abrams? Well, if you're stupid enough to think you're going to take a tin can and roll up on an Abrams, good luck. But it's not designed for that purpose. It's designed to give a certain amount of articulated fire power to the mechanized or a small mechanized unit or airborne unit that is always limited in capability. First of all, airborne or air mobile usually is behind the enemy. They're isolated. They need some fire power and they need to be mobile, needs to be able to move because they're going to drop it. That's obvious, but also because they have to stay in motion. They unfortunately become sharks. They have to survive. You got to keep moving. You try to dig in, fix and have a slugfest with main battle tanks with what you've got, you're gonna die. Well, you won't die completely, but it's not a very uncomfortable situation to be in. And the idea is that you don't get frustrated and fail, but you are gonna have to fight with what you got. It means you're gonna take a pounding sometimes. But, again, does it serve the purpose of the mission of the unit as it's based? Yes, it does. Light armor is still going to be the way to go. We don't have any light armor. We're going to get the shit kicked out of us. Nobody wants to talk about it. We go up the Abrams! It's a beautiful vehicle. You can't go most places. Somebody starts destroying bridges. It's screwed. It's kind of like the Tiger Tank of our day. It's the Ogre. It's an Ogre. It's a classic future warfare Ogre. That's an old term from another conflict. But it is an ogre in that respect, yes, but it is limited because of its weight and nobody wants to talk about it. Now three times we've had a light tank program put into play. Right now the bullshitters are doing it again. Anybody notice this? Guys, we already worked out. We had three out. We've had three in my lifetime. Now we've had four. We have had four complete light tank programs brought forward. Your tax dollars were spent on them. They perfected the design. They were supposed to go into production and they disappeared. What happened? Well, thank you for the money. Brrrr. And then they went on to other things. Right now, the bullshitters have this whole propaganda thing going on. While we got the Ukraine crap going, we'll lie there with the bullshitters there again. We've got the same garbage going on. All the Abrams, we need a replay. It's not a we need a replacement. We need a supplemental vehicle. The Abrams is a heavy main. It's not a medium battle tank. It's a heavy tank. It fits the heavy tank mode and it actually is superior when it walks into any situation. It's like a, it is an ogre. It walks in and it can beat the shit out of everybody. That's not always the case if the terrain's right because fast and fleet can stab you and stab you and stab you again and eventually you just bleed to death. And that's where a light tank with a tow or a tow two or any of the anti-tank weapons that are out there, and that's what the whole thing with these little German airborne vehicles is they do mount, they have several variants and one of them is a tow carrier. Well, that tow will knock out any existing vehicle on the planet up to and including an Abrams. So while I don't want to get in a slugfest, if I want to be a monkey poker and I come in on an angle because I'm not going to be fair in a battlefield, you're never fair. You never give somebody a fair shake. So you weasel in, because that's what their name is, they're weasels by the way. The weasel comes in, gets a bead, bam! takes out the left side of that Abrams. He could still swing a turret, but he's stuck where he is now because drivetrain package and motor pack is dead. Well, guess what? Another weasel in the team fires again, puts another one up the ass of vehicle and now she's starting to cook. Guess what? That Abrams just got beat by a percentage of its cost in vehicles. Now it's not the enough that's not gonna be the only way that this happens, but this is why now the government says oh We need a medium tank in other words. We need a smaller tank. We can carry more of We've already figured it out, so the dumbasses are lying through their teeth I have no confidence in them and doing anything other than spending your money the parasites know how to spend your money Create a shitload of prototypes Make them work And then all of a sudden they go into brain fart because they want to spend the money on air conditioned dog houses for some whore in Jerusalem. The Israelis want air conditioned dog houses. And so the Israelis should get their air conditioned dog houses and your boys are gonna be working with whatever's left over that we bought 25, 30, 40 years ago. See how that works? So there's a couple ideas out there, if you look at them, they're really impressive. The thing is that you can rat pack with any kind of light skin vehicle too, but you have to understand limitations. The battlefield is designed to break things. When anybody goes, well they can kill you with this, everybody is trying to kill you with everything, both sides. You're trying to do it to them, they're trying to do it to you. Congratulations, you just figured out what the battlefield is all about. Now the idea is to improve your situation by again developing skill with weapon systems you do have Perfecting them so that they perform better than the enemy because you have a plan of how to use them and then try to execute that plan in on the battlefield While a number of other integrated weapon systems are trying to be effective on their own in their special way That includes indirect fire direct fire in heavy weapons air air assault air, you know again air air support Which works from both sides? Virtually everything that we're talking about here can be built fast the if you're worried about Surat for instance laminate armor language just talking about earlier guys What do you think that the British ceramic armor is? Go look up British ceramic armor You know the newer tanks what they're built how they're built We're just not going to sophisticated because we don't have the billions of dollars to spend Is it going to stop everything? No. Will it create a higher crew survivability? Yes. Real quick, I think it's Carl again. Hold on for just a second. One more thing. Somebody just said, like, well, the Bren gun is from World War II. Yep. We put Kevlar sheeting on the inside. We put laminate ceramic plate on the outside, like I've described. Actually, what we did were stirrup carriers. It carries more firepower than the original weapon, the original idea, the original platform did. And again, we understand it's not gonna go chin to chin with anybody. It's gonna be a monkey-poking fast-attack vehicle. That's what reconnaissance, look at all the goofy reconnaissance vehicles. Do you think that they fight toe to toe? No, they're supposed to use cover, concealment, terrain, and navigation, and the navigation part. Like I said from the beginning, when you're designing a vehicle, the driver is the brain. Give the driver everything he needs and protect his ass. Always remember that when you're designing a vehicle if the driver dies you all stay where the driver died which is stop and Congratulations, you're in a kill zone So protect the driver even if all you had was a pickup truck and you're gonna armor it up Like I've said a million times in this program who gets the helm of the body armor the driver I'm gonna put a sandbag like you see not by the way. I know be patient one more moment All these bullshit movies like you see with heat, it's not a bullshit movie, it's got some really good impression in it you need to remember. Guys, if you just take a sandbag right in front of the driver on the dash, you know how much more protection that offers? What? A simple sandbag, one sandbag. You know how much more protection that offers? Because what's everybody trying to do when you're in a vehicle? They're going after Bob, the driver. Now you give Bob a helmet, you give Bob, you know, again, the best armor you can. Your armor is seat up a little bit. There's all kinds of stuff you can do to improve the situation. But just a sandbag right in front of the driver on the dash. Whatever it is, however much space you got, at least one bag's going up there. and you make sure it stays there because that offers a tremendous amount of protection. Not everything, but it's a hell of a lot better. Call or jump in there, please. So, real quick, one of the biggest downsides to the M1 Abrams is its own weight. Yeah. And you're willing to go over like half the bridges in our infrastructure, and the other part is The fuel economy on a thing it's five gallons per mile Yeah, not miles per gallon gallons per Mile that thing is a diesel guzzler So it yeah unless they got a constant supply chain coming through It's it's getting the water pretty quick. It's ranges. I'll be limited How did they knock out the Tigers? The discussion is made to disappear because we now have the same problem in the US military. They knocked out the Tigers, they always brag about fuel, but that wasn't the most critical part. You know what they did? They had two things, they gotta be fed, and they got, well they gotta be fed to move, and they gotta be fed to fire. The Tigers used a Panzer III Befelswagen, which is a Panzer III without a turret with an overhead cover and it was an i-ammunition transporter. Well, the Tigers are damn good as long as they had shells, you're dead. So, but the... the Panzer III's are older vehicles and they didn't have so much armor. So the priority was that if you were toe to toe and you were fighting on the flanks with a Tiger unit, you take out the baffles wagons and you take out any fuel that looks like it's in sight. And that limits the ability of the Tiger to fight. No, it doesn't blow it up and it doesn't knock it out. But you know what, whatever gun I've got, whatever anti-tank gun, whatever light tank, whatever medium tank, whatever artillery piece I got, whatever mortar, I can knock out that Panzer III. If I knock out the ammunition, the tiger, it can burp at me, but it can't do anything. So it's part of the long haul formula when fighting. The Abrams in the United States fighting us is in trouble. In fact, here's the thing. They've limited the number of bridges because of the free wilderness project they had going here in Michigan. Guys, we can travel across most of the areas where we need to. They even went through back in the 90s when they were preparing to fight the American people and tested as many bridges as they could. What did they do? They put an Abrams on a dragon wagon and they tested every bridge that they could in Michigan. You all understand that? Why I covered that, we followed it because we knew the units that actually hauled the vehicles, the military, the National Guard and Reserve units that were assigned to do the testing. And what was it for in preparation for fighting the American people? You know what they found out? Like you just said Carl, a whole shitload of the bridges here in Michigan. Yeah, they can handle on Abrams, but the mistake made is thinking, well, if one tank can pass over, they all can. Guys, it's not just the weight of the vehicle, but it's repetitious strain upon the engineering structure of the design, whatever it is. The more vehicles you have pass over with the harmonics on bridges especially, what happens is you have degradation that is very rapid with some. Years ago, when I was an Op-Port commander, I had an ambush. I was given an assignment. I had a water forward that I needed to control. I had two battle tanks in support. I had an M68A3 and an M48A5. I put those to the rear in the Bocage area beyond the ambush point. It was a woods that they had to go through. Well, you could go down the road, but the bridge that was on the road was restricted. Why? Because it could only handle 10 tons. But the tread heads that were coming through this area who were told you can't use the bridge, you have to use the tank for it, it's why we've got it, we will destroy the bridge. I was standing there when the smart asses with the second platoon came through. First ambush went where it was supposed to, second one the vehicles were coming down and rather than turning and having to move across the ford, which means they had to come down a ridge about 300 yards. and then move into the fort, go through the fort, then go through a woods. Oh, they figured they'd just bypass the ambush point, which is true in a real combat situation, you would. But the problem is you're also kind of trying to maintain the infrastructure so you can continue to operate. And I was standing right there when that M-68-3 rolled right over that bridge and I heard the crack. Now, did that bridge explode or did it collapse or did it whatever? No, no. But that tank is the one that broke the spine of the bridge. And when the second tank went over is when the first chunk of cement fell. But, yeah, because I heard the first cry. It was like mine like somebody touched off a 105. And I looked and I thought, son of a bugger. But you know what? That second one went through. It's an awesome. Yes, we are the sons of the sun. We're the kids. In the apple market, the fullest way of summer. People's days. The flowers, yes, the very ground itself, had shuttered under the roar of Ken, barked of howitzers, and the crackling of a legion of rifles. Now all was silent. Sledgehammer blows of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson had mauled the army of the Potomac, and yet that army was not destroyed. Seven thousand men had fallen in that dreadful week, and the savagery of the conflict was grimly evident in the river of Wound. that wound through the green hills. Now a new sound drifted in the soft evening sky. For Colonel Dan Butterfield, a courageous and able soldier, was also a man of music. To honor his fallen comrades, he had composed a simple and heart-rending melody. On July 2nd, in the year of 1862, its strains floated over the graves that scarred the dark Virginia earth. It has been more than a hundred years since that song was born. But those notes have never died away. Every night of the year, throughout the world, fighting men of America from the North and the South, the East and the West, close their eyes and sleep to its call. And in each of their hearts, their glows of fierce surge of pride. He took off his three-cornered hat, speaking low to me, about a revolution, liberty. We wrote the Constitution, the shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this the land of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. 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. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm. Keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters, so their children won't be. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the 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 torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free at home? I'm Larry Lawson. I point out he said that just before he died. One day closer to the great for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories east, south, northwest, 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 brain operators out there. No matter what body of water you are resting on or traveling over right now, the fact that you rebroadcast you are listening, both analog and digital satellite handheld and tabletop and under counter technology. We appreciate that. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside the East United States. It has been a perfect, perfect day here in the bottom of the state of Michigan. Larry, what's luck in your neck of the woods? What's the day today? Let's jump off the wall there in the old West, which we now call the Midwest. Third of September, 2024 AD, temperatures cooling down here in Indiana. At least they can get out and weed eat and do some of the heavy grunt work I couldn't do in the 90 degree temperatures we had here all last week. So now I'm trying to get the wood cut and everything ready for winter coming up. That's fun. It'd be nice if I could have done that earlier, but again temperatures have been hot here in Indiana and at 62 I just can't be out there more than a couple hours in the morning anymore and it gets a little toasty. But I did manage to get at least half a couple of gardens in and been taking the food to the food shelter down the road and and joint tomatoes and peppers and a few other things. But it's been dry here, it's very very dry. The chemtrails have been running non-stop for weeks and we haven't had rain here where I'm at in Spencer, Indiana for weeks and weeks. Leaves are falling off, turning brown, dry, weeds are dry. Fire conditions are bad, especially if you live in the woods like I do. Right now I'm down here in the basement running off my battery communications so we'll see if the battery holds up. Yeah, I'm real concerned about some of these lithiums. I saw another fire out in the lot where they had 50 vehicles on fire. Once these things go, they seem to torch the next one and the next one and the next one. If you damage these things, drop them. The case is breached on these batteries. If you overcharge them, these lithiums when they go off can really, really make a horrific fire. So I encourage you to... I bought a whole bunch of devices that have these things from lasers, you know, for rifles and things. Tablets, your cell phones, they're just about everywhere, so be cognizant of them and where they're at, because they take buildings out. So anyway, dreamed about World War III 50 years ago and they're doing everything they can to push this on us. We've got U.S. personnel in Russia attacking the cursed area. They're picking up bodies of American citizens and showing people who they are. This is not being hidden. We're giving lots of our munitions and things to the Ukrainians to lob at the Russians and tell them to go hit whatever they want now. They're hitting munitions depots and fuel depots and things inside Russia, and they're just gonna keep going. One of the dreams I had, I'm just gonna share this, because it could be next week's news, was two women flying those stealth fighter bombers against the evil Russians, and lots of nukes at them, so... You know, that was something... When I was nine years old, they didn't have women in the combat roles flying planes, much less the stealth fighter bombers, so... They were pretty primitive, back when I was nine. But it's common, we've been giving them F16s, I'm sure we'll give them whatever they want, you know, whatever that... piece of crap Zelensky wants and I just it just seems like the Russians are toying with them they've been doing this for ages and they've been letting them get away with this crap and that Russians have been killing their Christians against the Ukrainians which have been killing their Christians I'll point that out while they kill every Christian they can in the the Gaza Palestine area now the scumbag Israelis are attacking Palestinians in the West Bank and Jenin and other areas There were genocidal murdering scum when they were relocated there by Adolf Hitler and their genocidal murdering scum today off the charts. I guess half a million people protested against Nitwood Yahoo. They found six bodies, but who knows if the IDF killed them themselves, because Nitwood Yahoo does not want peace at any cost. These Israeli Zionists absolutely hate the swastika, which is a multi-thousand year old peace sign. It is a peace sign, people. Look it up. Here in Indiana, we had a hotel at the West Baden area, and it had swastikas on the grid work, on the fencing out front. Somebody whined about that. I mean, that predated World War II, folks, and they scrubbed those off. Yes, the Israelis are child raping, murdering, creeps that have been tossed out of country after country after country, and they're arresting people for protesting for the Palestinians. Oh, it's Hamas, Hamas, Hamas! Israel funded Hamas. Nittweyahu funded Hamas. It was their boogeymen. They ignored warnings that they were going to do this because this is exactly what they wanted. So they had an excuse to butcher and genocide the Palestinian Christians. Do you get it? They are scum. Trump has slurped their dingus all his life. Kamal To Harris is, you know, there are 500 shipment of weapons to him now supposedly. You know, they're both parties are owned by our enemy and Trump has openly said that they've got the presidency after Nittwee Yahoo had the bouncing seal slapping, you know, themselves silly in Congress with 50 some ovations. Then Nittwee Yahoo flew to Marilago, you know, to swap slobber with Trump. So none of these people are acceptable. This country is not going to be in good shape after this election. We're going into civil war and this is what they want. There are reports now that these illegals are attacking various communities. Groups of them are attacking buses with school children on them. They're breaking into homes. This is what they want, order out of chaos. This is the Masonic Agenda and this is the World Economic Forum. Slob Schwab has told you that big things are coming before the election. So the US dollar is in the tank, it's going down. There are many nations joining the BRICS Economic Alliance and they've even brought Iran in. It's very interesting, they wanted to attack Iran. Well, Russia's given them Kenzhal missiles and other things, and Iran has given Russia drones, and they're exchanging all kinds of toys, and Iran's propped up pretty good now, and it's given the scumbag Zionists pause for thought, which is a good thing. I'd love to see Israel wiped out. These people have been you know, responsible for so many problems, they run our foreign policy. Do you not get that? I mean even the... I can't remember. Tulsi Gabbard. Yeah, she knows who's running them. So does RFK Jr., the same ones that murdered JFK. The Israelis, the CIA, the same ones that did 9-11. They run our foreign policy. They put stingray devices in Washington, D.C., so they can listen to our politicians on the phones. Do you get that? They aimed Jeffrey Epstein at girls, killed them on video so that they could blackmail both parties in this country and other countries. Do you get that as part of official Mossad Israeli policy? You get pictures of the former prime minister peeking out of Jeffrey Epstein's apartment. Guy named Ehud Barak with a mask on. And Netwood Yahoo's been running in it. So, yeah, these people are parasites that need to be extracted from our government, if not stood up in a firing squad. And those who've given them comfort, weapons, and money, you know, is part of this blackmail. The FBI is totally complicit in this. Chrissy Ray flew to the World Economic Forum to probably prostrate himself before Klaus Schwab. So yeah, this government is completely corrupt. Nothing is going to change. You know, we're being run by a foreign enemy and they're extracting all our munitions and money in our kids' blood. They got a third of our navy over there ready to point weapons at and blame it on the Iranians, blame it on the Muslims. Just like they did with the USS Liberty. You know, just like they did with the Mossad Affair. Just like they've done since these parasites were put in the Middle East, in Palestine. So, yeah, it's a sad day, but this is where things are going. That'll be the great big distraction as the economy goes down the tubes. Dollar stores are closing, restaurants are closing, all over the place, you know, all over the place. I'm seeing this here in Spencer. They just put up a dollar tree and it wasn't open a month. And then they turned around and closed it down. So, yeah, all my favorite restaurants closed down and, you know, that started with the COVID farce, which Trump was complicit in that, stood up on stage while that piece of garbage, Mike Pompeo, told you it was a live exercise. And Trump mumbled, they should have told us. Yeah, he's not in charge of anything. He didn't arrest Hillary. He put in all swamp creatures. And, you know, he worked with Bill Gates to giving money and praise to bring that kill shot, you don't think he'd do it again? And we got the monkey pox thing, you know, got there and the bird flu thing. All the horizon. Very quickly, let's go back to number one. Everybody has been talking about the Venezuelan gang thing. It's not just Venezuelans, they're just the ones that people are publicly acknowledging. Let's remember that the only time that they finally have to acknowledge it Well, it's in your face and there's lots and lots of video available by people who are disassociated with each other. All of the other factions that have been brought in are doing the same. And don't confuse the... when you hear somebody and it appears that they're speaking Spanish, well, maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. You might want to learn a few words in different dialects, different language bases. And you'll find out that, yeah, the Venezuelans are one, but guys, the Chinese are somewhere. And of course, if you've seen the video from Aurora, let's not forget that these are places where all the filth demanded Denver, Colorado. They demanded, and of course, the governor of Denver of Colorado, the communist, the queer. is spewing from his face that there's nothing going on and you're not seeing what you're seeing and you guys all just, you know, everybody just ignore that and, you know, let's just ride this sinking ship. And it's like, no, how about we don't? Number one, they're taking over properties which if you listen, if you pay attention, were from owned out of state. Who do you think the landlords, slumlords are that are from out of state? Do you think they might be Jewish? Do you think? Because again, remember, if you pay attention to what they're doing here, they're establishing, and again, the Jewish NGOs, non-governmental organizations, were the coordinating element run by the Mossad to bring foreign combat troops on American soil. The entire infrastructure is a pay off. You do understand if you already know what you're gonna be doing, you put all your people into key positions where the benefits are going to rake into your pocket. And then you start the ball rolling and the it's just the gravy moves all on its own guys. Even what's going on with these apartments is part of the plan. It is not something that just happened by all we got boobyed up. the characters who own them. Okay, this is just like the assassination attempt on Trump. Who owns the building the shooter was on? What associations do the owners of the building have? Yeah, he was on the roof, it's a flat roof, it's a blah, blah, blah, guys. And for all this to happen and for all the cops to act the way they did, they were all in on it. They were all told, the lodge buddies were told this was gonna be the setup. Cops who normally in a heartbeat would love to shoot your ass flat out of your shoes Didn't scream gun didn't do anything other than stand around run around like you know chickens with their head cut off and even when they did have a person who beyond a shot of a doubt had a gun Did you see anybody drawing weapons and pointing them in the direction of the individual with the firearm? Go back and look at all those Hey Mark, what kind of an operation was that? Okay. Well hold on caller now Let's go forward to what we just saw here who owns the buildings Remember base information is especially critical who owns the buildings Because the whole thing is a plan set up how much money are they getting from the Fed? How much under the table money are they getting for creating the organized crime problem? Which is gonna be run by the Jewish mob just like, like I said, if you ever worked or live in any big city, you'll have a Jewish pawn shop. You look back in the back, and in fact, who's working behind the counter? A whole clique, a whole gang of blacks. What are they? They're the shopping crew. What? They're the shopping crew. Did you come in and say that you wanted a Craig Schmidlap 402 floor sander? Well, I'll tell you what, you come back two days from now and we'll get you that grinder. And lo and behold, that'll be right there waiting for you. Why? Because they went out and shopped and they got what they were looking for and they brought it back. And Blats and Steen is the mover and the shaker, the brains behind the outfit. And every cop in every city knows that what I just said is true. So you know what's happening? The latest batch of organized crime turds are being established and the Jewish mob is behind it. And when they're done, no, we just didn't know. We don't know nothing about illegal alien criminals, Miss Scarlett. And the fact of the matter is, they brought them in, they buried them like ticks or burring them in like ticks. And there just won't be anything you'd be done. And when the cops go through and look around and check on stuff, Everything's right as rain because the cops are not going to turn their eyes on. The cops aren't going to turn their eyes on because they've been told you want to keep your job, you want to make it to retirement. Or if you like that little eight year old boy we let you rape every three or four days over at Izzy Blatt's and Steen's whorehouse there. And you get to do that for free then you better shut up and just do what we're telling you to do. What illegal aliens? Oh, we didn't see anything which by the way is exactly what they've been lying about with their quote-unquote follow-up to that little series of videos you've seen What does that tell you? So everybody goes well if we get the government back if we get taking get people back in government Wait a minute. Okay, the cops have been following the orders of the communists without any problem at all Who are you gonna give orders to you think that they're right with you? Hey Mark, everybody better step in. Go ahead, jump in there. This is Carl in Virginia. So, I mean, we've got three main factions of foreign thugs coming in. We've got the Chinese troops. We've got the Orthodox Islamists and then we've got the Hispanic drug cartel types. But do these guys not know about us? Do they somehow think that they're not on the menu? To us, I mean, I just can't help to think that when things kick off, I mean, we're going to slaughter these guys. Well, the rule is I know what, but they're being, yeah, remember, they're being, well, I'll have to use watch a controlled media. From the perspective of a third party from outside the United States, what are they being fed? Bullshit. They could tell them anything. Well, Americans, which is true. Now, here's the thing. I've said this a million times. You know, the face brow wearer down the street, he's still trying to make excuses for the illegal aliens who just raped his seven-year-old daughter. And he's been told if he doesn't do that, he's a racist. So you do have a bunch of examples you can show people. Yeah, look, Juan Valdez got away with raping that girl in San Francisco, and then he raped a bunch of girls up there in LA, and he didn't get caught only when he got sloppy when he was over there in Atlanta. But he got away with this, this, this, and this. You see, you've got all kinds of shining examples of stupid where we've let this go this far. We can't fix everything we could fix it right now but When this happens as I've said a million times you'll be shooting the regime the government regime regime is who will be standing next to or protecting under orders The creatures that are raping your country. Let's not forget all of this. You've got fellow travelers you have parasites that have been feeding off your wallets for so long, they prefer the creatures that feed them the tidbits rather than the taxpayer. A lot of these cops, a lot of these military people now hate the taxpayer. They love taking your money, but they hate you. Give lip service to the, you know, the whatevers. Now those people in turn are the characters that are the expediters, the movers, and the shakers. that set everything up for where we are and with the shipwreck that's going on right now. So what they're getting is they're being baffled with bullshit as far as being a, well, what our choice is gonna have to be, we all know what we're gonna have to do. There is no doubt in my mind where this is gonna go and everybody, especially when you listen, I was just watching one of the other programs, well, nobody wants that old conflict. And it's like, well then, you know what, as long as your enemy keeps hearing that, Your enemy laughs his ass off and go kicks in another door of another apartment because you just told him that you're not gonna do anything. That everybody just needs to sit on their ass and wait for the regime to do something. But wait a minute, in 15 minutes the guy from the regime is gonna show up with the checks or with the new marching orders and they're in their mind, they're looking at the fact that America is being completely betrayed by a bunch of uniformed whores and that are in the FBI, ATF, whatever. So who did they think they should side with? What do we have as a shining example of why they shouldn't do that? In reality, what should happen is yes, the group comes out, they need to be slaughtered. They need to be just absolutely annihilated. There will be no conversation, discussion with any survivors because none will be allowed. That's what should happen. But because it's not, in their mind, why would they think otherwise? The controlled media is only going to present the image of the paddy waste. And the paddy waste is, you know, the American chicken hawk is the symbol that everybody gets to see in the foreign press, they get to see it on Communist News Network. It's being shown that anybody who resists is attacked. Well, that just means that if you're the criminal coming in here, you got buddies in all of the system. Now, is that in reality how it is? Well, not fully, but they do have a lot of money that they get to see. Plus, how many shekels are being floated around out of wallets every day? In fact, as cards. from you, Carl, from all of you listening, tens of thousands of dollars per each of these individuals taking a gunpoint from us, and the spit-swapping ring-knocking buddy will tell them, see, the cowards do nothing. You guys can do whatever you want. That's what, in fact, that's what CNN is telling them, that's what all these departments and agencies are telling them. So, no, they can't wrap it around their brain that they've pressed the envelope. But, and at a given point, it's kind of like what happened in Europe, except we're not disarmed. If something happens, you're not gonna disarm anybody because, oh my goodness, they shot the shit out of a whole bunch of illegals who were, all they were doing was raping a nine-year-old girl for 10 hours and they had a whole line of them tied to beds. But it was okay, it was okay because they're illegal aliens. You shouldn't make judgment calls. You can't be judgmental. Am I being crazy about, you know, I'm not being crazy. Realistically, that's happening somewhere right now in this country. And these characters in these agencies promote it. Let me remind you of something. The CIA, who policy will be in the future if there's one in front of you, shoot it. You don't let them escape. You don't have a conversation with them. They're not going to get away. But I'm gonna tell you something, everywhere where I served, guys, listen to me. Everywhere where I served, we had cohabitation in bachelor's, officer's quarters. And I was smart. I would grab anything and everything that wasn't nailed down cuz that way I didn't have to carry stuff around with me when I went from one post to an exit. I'm gonna tell you something. There's not one time when we didn't go through a say a floor that was deoccupied in other words they evacuated the feds out Every every last stinking one of them had slave trade books, you know magazines What do I mean by slave trade books literally foreign slave trade books on buying people? They exist I've seen them, but here's the thing. If I found one of me, hmm, this is interesting. But you find one, you know, tucked under a mattress or you find them here, you find them, the guys are going through and cleaning us. Hey Mark, look at this. What the hell is, I didn't even know anything like this existed. And it's like, well, I've seen them before and it's interesting. Who is occupying these rooms? Oh, this was a CIA detachment that was here for cross training at USACS. Oh, how many other rooms you got to do? And guys, you would find every kind of the worst foreign perversion as their fair. The word wicked is the only word that is the, it's the softest word and all many other word, expletive, deleted are more appropriate. But every place, Fort Benning, let's see, Fort Carson, Fort McCoy, let's see Hunter Liget. I spent some time down at, come on. the other end of the 5th Army. I'll text if I don't, I'll rattle it off. But anyway, I was down there, I'm in the Baster's Officers' Quarters, and that one, I just had my own room. You know, you go in and whether or not somebody catches up to clear everything out, they don't, you don't care, you're gonna, somebody might use. So you go in there, what do I find? Under the pillow, because I'm throwing all the bedding out. Under the pillow, well, you're supposed to take care of it. Yeah, right, and I'm a Chinese jet pilot named Lozi. Oh, the next pillow is a slave trade magazine. It's like a cross between a hardcore pourer. They actually are showing you, hey, these are the women, these are the women or livestock you can buy. And we're not talking about temporary. We're talking about slave trade. You want to know one of the many things that helped me to understand why it is number one, don't do, you know, don't stay in that business. But number two, why I'm on your side, why we're all here on the same side. Because if you keep flipping, and go a little farther to go along, that's where you end up with those pigs on the other side. That's just all it is. And it's worse, because do you think that that's all they were doing? Come on, why are they buying the people? Well, because they're doing snuff stuff, dudes. You're doing what? Oh, yeah. Well, if you can buy a little girl or you can buy a young woman for, you know, $29.95 tax license and dealer preparation, guess what? That's your property. Whatever the crazies want to do, they can do and they'll let them. And that's just the edge. That's just like the fringe, the tip, like a little bit. Oh, it gets worse. And that's the worst that has now come to a head in your country. But it's also in Israel. Israeli trash is the same way and half the time that's who's mingled with all the rest of these alphabet soup agencies to the point now where they have been totally perverted. Anybody who never thought they'd see something like this, a scared shitless, they're just standing there like deer in a headlight trying to coast through and maybe get somewhere near a retirement so they can unask the AO. And most of them, they haven't got that time. Hey Mark. So you know what they do? They just follow, they go along to get along. You know what that means? You're at risk. America's at risk. Your children are at risk. Your wife is at risk. And you know what it goes? Yeah, that's why I can't do anything. Wrong. You better do something because that's where they're going. What do you think communist Russia, Jewish run communist Russia was like? Beria used to brag about how many little 13 year olds he'd rape in a day. I've brought this up before the head of the Russian international military, which was in Berlin because the Jews ran Berlin in the 30s, the 20s and early 30s. He bragged, he could kill, he could bite two German children off the street, pedophile them, rape them to death, slit their throats, leave them in the gutter, do it every day, and he was untouchable. And he was Jewish. That's why you aren't going to see any real history about what's going on, what has gone on. And it's why there's such a hole in everybody's head about communism. Because if you study communism, all the BS you see about Germany, throw that crap out the window. It's what the Jewish mob was doing in Germany before, and also during and after World War II. But they were always doing it in Russia, or in the Ukraine, or in all these other stands and places they had control over. Go ahead. Jump in there, caller. Hey, this is, this is calling Virginia again. So everybody, you know, the mantra is, well, Israel is our best ally in the region. And I can't point to any thing in history, any incident at all where they actually acted as an ally. They didn't give us a heads up on 9-11 or on the Beirut barracks bombing or anything since. There's never a single thing where they actually helped us. They worked with our CIA on 9-11. Right, well that's because they were the ones doing it. But that is what your point is. I'm sorry, Larry. That's what your point is. The reason you don't get a heads up is, well, if he's the one breaking your leg, or planning on breaking your leg, he's not gonna tell you he's gonna break your leg. To paraphrase Ant Rand and Atlas Shrug, I understand what you're saying. It's exactly true. The liberty can be found easily. USS Liberty, everybody look up, find a book where the Jewish mob hasn't tried to slant it, and they always do. But bottom line is go to the books done by the survivors and read it. Read all of them. And that, the only reason that's the best is because that's one where Americans were directly involved. They were the first person victims. They know exactly how evil and wicked these POSs were and what they were doing. And they knew who they were doing it to. It was one of the newest intelligence ships afloat. There was no possible way to make any kind of mistake and they didn't. So the question is, were they planning on sinking the ship to get us into war? Or were they planning on sinking the ship and stealing everything off it because it was an optimal place for a piracy? And I argue it would be both. Number one, they could have tried to stir the pot. As much as anything, they just wanted to kill American witnesses and these were high-tech witnesses. So they did everything they could to put that boat on the bottom. But if they had You don't think the Israelis weren't right there to be ready to scavenge and steal everything off that thing? That was a cutting edge state-of-the-art intel ship. Like no other, nobody else had one. It was the first of its class. I think it was also the last. I don't think they built another one because of that. It was the ship of its type. Now, it doesn't mean there weren't other intel ships. Sure as hell were, there were a lot of them. But that one was purpose built and the Navy didn't do very much of that. And because of that, as purpose built, it was a showroom floor model. It had all the bells and whistles. The Israelis would have raped us with that. They just sold that to the Chinese, the Russians, and copied it themselves. Anything that was on board, especially secrets. But here's the thing. That's horrific, but that's just the one you know about. And there are others that were example in history over the last 50 years of incidents at sea or incidents on land. 9-11 was completely Israeli at American intelligence slash traitor run. Throw that Arab crap out the window. And here's another thing as an extension of that, let's just remind everybody cuz everybody's been talking about Afghanistan. We went to Afghanistan because of the opium. That was one of the big things. We gotta stop the opium. We gotta stop the opium. In reality, the characters there had slowed down opium production. So they had to get it back up to speed. So everybody made all this noise about leaving Afghanistan. What's going on with the opium trade? Who's running it? Oi, Gevalt. Avanto's running the opium trade in Afghanistan. Do you want to guess? Your guess would probably be pretty straightforward and simple. So again, no, there is no benefit. In fact, we had better allies be pissed off because of the whole process. And again, the nature of the Satanists being what they are, that actually is quite optimal because sacrifice of an innocent or an ally. is big juju, big brownie points for these ring knockers and spit swappers. That's why I've told you a million times yesterday, I said same thing. You know what, when these creatures are in the room, you better have your back to the wall. And if not, if you have allies, you better be standing back to back because they are in no way, shape or form. They cannot be trusted because it's in the nature of what they are and it cannot be changed. It will not be, they don't wanna change it. Given the opportunity, they want to kill every last one of you listening right now. And that's why you better be prepared to fight like tooth and nail. You had better be prepared to wage effective war. That was the conversation, the two hours again, be creative. Understand conflict is simply destruction. It's horrific waste that people when they, when it's, it's purely a kinetic energy machine. It's a destruction machine. That's all it is. When people go, well, we knocked out their cakes. Yep, and they knocked ours out too. Yeah, but our cakes are so much better. Nope, they're not. They're the same thing, basically, and they have the same problem, and people died in the same way. They lied their ass off about Desert Dust Part 2, the adventure begins, or continues, not begins. And I'll remind you, anybody who wants to understand modern armor conflict, especially with regular people fighting, go find the story of the Battle of the Bridges. You won't see anything in American media about it, and the Jewish run media can't show it because it's people resist and you will be absorbed and we're all doomed and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Really? Guys? Literally, they lost every operational Apache helicopter in less than an hour and a quarter. They say it's under two hours, but most of them are shot down. And when we say shot down, that doesn't mean exploding in the sky and coming down with pieces of wreckage. Helicopters get hit, pilots know that it's either get to the ground or die. And you know what? They still did. We lost all of the operational Apaches in the theater in that day. Now it's not possible. How many Abrams did we lose? I've brought this up many times. Tanks are human made. They're man made. They die just like anything. If it flies, it dies. If it rolls, it dies. Okay, it doesn't make any difference to the meters how big it is how small it is everybody goes look They're taking some out of you. They can't eat destroy this and we destroyed that and they killed a bunch of ours, too No, they didn't because I watched on communist news network and they said we didn't lose any tanks in Iraq Yes, we did. Hell. We were blowing them up ourselves I debrief kids were over there when an Abrams got broke down or a Bradley, you know what they did it wartime policy They destroyed it in place. That's to begin with You did hear about that, right? Oh, no, you didn't. If a vehicle broke down during the offensive, the policy, because they did not know what the outcome would be, is to destroy vehicles that break down if you're in the forward spearhead. So we knocked out, we had vehicles, you just died. What did they do with them? They put C4 on them, they knew where to detonate, where to set everything to get them done away with, and they fried them. That way nobody could use them. That's the policy of a real war. But that's total waste. What did I say at the beginning of this? War is a total waste. Okay? Never will be anything but. The idea is to minimize the waste, come up, be better at what you do, and hopefully reduce the amount of damage to your society and to your people. First of all, your people who are in the field are actually fighting for you. The other thing about the battle for the bridges, guys, it was everybody pitched in. Saddam Hussein had a massive militia infrastructure contrary to the lie that they came up with. People realized they were defending their homes. And those Apache pilots flat out said, well, the lights went on everywhere and then they went off. And then they went on and then they went off and he said, and then they said, the guy survived. that everybody came out of their houses and on rooftops and in everywhere, everyone. And they started shooting and we started falling out of the sky. Well, you mean cannons, yeah, everything else is firing too, but you know what it was? Everybody that had a rifle was told, today you're with air defense. Today we fight the helicopters and anything else that comes in. Congratulations, you know what happened? They lost every Apache we had. Now, they recovered some. It took a year for them to recover. But that made 27 aircraft, at least, totally dysfunctional and not part of the combat fleet. Go ahead, Carl, jump in there. Yeah, this is Carl again. So, for anyone who's feeling like an inferiority complex with their pickup, guess what? So with the new military vehicles to replace the Humvee they want bigger and heavier they would I guess the Joint light tactical vehicle which is not light and to the enormous thing. It's one size smaller than an MRAP But that's supposed to replace the up armored Humvee But you know what they got now as a light attack vehicle They took a four-door Chevy Colorado ZR2 They boned it out. It's got no doors, it's got no windows. It's basically a frame with an OD green paint job and it doesn't have a bed, it's got a flat bed on it and with benches pointed outboard and a roll cage on it. Yes, exactly. And it's a diesel engine. It's a Chevy Colorado four-door ZR2. And that's that big enough. You want like a 10 or, well, forgive me, a 1500 or a 2500 would be better. But in the Colorado is basically a bloated Ranger or a small F-150. Take your pick. Depending on how you look at it. The Colorado is an oddball in between vehicle. That's why they did it because it was cheap. But you know what? We built those. We built those before they did. Seriously. And by the way, why am I going to go spend $20,000 on a toy all-terrain vehicle when it can go down the road here and pick up a Jeep, a four-wheel drive Jeep with a pickup truck rear end, a four-door? I can do the exact same thing too, or I can take any pickup truck, do the exact same thing too, and it only cost me $1,000 or $2,000. I can beat the hell out of it off the back roads here. I can take it off the road. I can go anywhere I want, and if it gets broken, you know what I do. I go back to the garage where I have five more of them sitting for the price of one ATV. And you know what's out, what else? The one that got broke on the road, I cooked the other one up to it with a cable, I dragged it back to the shop, I parked it there. Tonight we're going to tear it down, put it back together, and we'll have seven or eight of them laying here again, instead of just seven. You remember, guys, again, exactly what you're saying, this is the thing to remember. A rat pack is what you need. What does a rat pack care if one rat dies? Now that doesn't mean I want you to die, but the fact is that the vehicle breaks down and you have a swarm, you don't lose. You keep moving. And the swarm wins. It's just that simple. And again, you can carry any weapons. We don't have any T-O-N-E. Here's the thing about the military. They have a T-O-N-E. Now granted, they'll violate that to a degree, but you know what? We don't have any table of authorized equipment. It's kind of like, well, I, hold on, give me just a second, call her. One more thing, real quick. We used to do this all the time. The U.S. military is famous for it, but we always rogues when we did. What did John F. Kennedy have on the PT-109 that his other sister boats didn't have? Anybody remember? What did a PT 109 have they even made a comment in the movie they made for propaganda to try and get Kennedy elected in the 60s Well, if it wasn't nailed down you could have it and so Kennedy mounted a Japanese anti-tank gun on the deck of his PT boat and they scrounged up plenty of ammo the artillery they didn't it wasn't useful for anybody on land But you know do a little cobbling bolt it to the deck and you got more firepower That's what I'm talking about. No table of authorized equipment. Is that regulation? What regulation? Where? What are you talking about? I don't see anything. Now granted you couldn't, you know, somebody might piss a fit because you know how service operations are, especially the Navy, they worship the bunch. But the fact is that whatever you can nail on that vehicle, whatever you can pick up, I'm gonna tell you some bullshit World War II movies. Guys I served with, The carpenter I told you about landed in Normandy. He was with the second, not the first wave, second wave. Later on after they fought in the Bocage. He said, we had half treks. Yeah, we were blessed. We had half treks. You know what? Everybody had a belt-fed gun. And I said, you mean every vehicle had a lot of belt-fed guns? He said, no. We collected everything off. Every wreck, we grabbed everything. We'd pile it up. We had Browning machine guns for every man. Every guy could shoot a Browning if he wanted to, but they're kind of heavy. He goes, but we had them all over the vehicles. He goes, you know what the problem is? Somebody dump an 88 or a mortar round into our lap. and the whole vehicle be destroyed. We have to start collecting crap all over again. You know what? It didn't take us long. You know, somebody come along and say, was that all? You had to authorize? And you say, well, my 30-odd six up your ass is authorized. Are you gonna get your ass on down a road or will you be another combat casualty? What do you mean is this authorized? Hey, Mark. We're fighting the war. Okay? That's the attitude everybody takes. We're fighting the war. Go ahead. Jump in there. So another thing is, uh, Something to remember about modern military is the higher tier it is, you know, high speed, low drag, you know, Ranger Rick, scuba Steve, whatever, the smaller the vehicles are. And so, you know, you got your little side by side, your Polaris Ranger or your Kawasaki Mule or whatever, or your John Deere. gator that you use around the farm or use for hunting or whatever. That's what those guys are using. And so they're just using one with a diesel engine and they painted it OD green. And that's what they're running with the special operations in combat. And so don't have this inferiority complex of, well, my gear is not good enough. That's what they want. The higher tier in the military, the more special operations it gets, the smaller vehicles closer to what you're already running already have. So yeah, your four-door pickup and your little side-by-side farm buggy, that's what you want. So yeah, good. Get more. Yeah, it'll put you where you need to be which is out of sight out of mind because you're a smaller harder target You know what you got now one of the other things to point out about that that truck modification with the Colorado What you do and what we do is we leave the front seats the way they are because you got you got the driver He can't go anywhere until he unless he has to unask the vehicle then he got a team leader or an assistant obviously up front But then you take the two back seats, you twist, turn them sideways, facing out. You gotta dismount, you just go straight out of the vehicle. You run a jolly chain across both back entrance areas, and you can rest a vehicle, forgive me, rest a weapon on that. In the back end, you take and create a T-bench seat with everything facing out. Now, that is a feature that goes back as far as vehicles and militaries have used for fast attack. But in South Africa and Rhodesia, that was the norm because the idea was to be aggressive about attack. If you're gonna be attacked, turn around, take the fight right back. And so that basic Colorado was a hybrid, well, not really, it's just another variation on the row war vehicles that were very, very, very common. during the 70s and 80s. Not just in Rhodesia, not just in South Africa, but all over the planet. And it's funny because we're relearning, well actually not relearning, it's just they're making money off changing things. But they're relearning and reshifting and relearning again all of this tech. But KISS, Keep It Simple Stupid, is still your best bet. Simple, keep it simple. You will win. You will win, in fact, you will win quite handsomely. The important thing is understand, don't get sentimental. If you have to abandon it, you abandon it. Now you don't have to destroy it. Something I was talking about before, like we have done in the past. It depends on what type of combat are you involved in. Are you an unconventional, para-conventional, or conventional? If equipment can be recovered, it should be recovered. If it can be cashed and stashed, it should be cashed and stashed. But if need be, war is waste, the idea is to discard it and not offer it to anyone who may be opposition. And that's where you may just may choose to destroy it. It's a matter of standard operating procedure for the environment that you're in. That's what you have to calculate. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. So we got the people who can get it done. Another thing is a trailer for everything whenever possible. Always remember that you see a trailer laying around hook up to it even if it's a boat trailer hook up to it. Trailer is a trailer you're going to need something more places to put stuff and you can leave it when you need to you can dump it when you need to go ahead ship in their color. Hey, this is Carl again. So I highly recommend especially for those listening who are readers reading Popski's Private Army The excellent book and and actually his second command also wrote a similar book from just from his standpoint I recommend both of them Popski's Private Army, P-O-P-S-K-I, apostrophe S, Private Army and in during World War II he operated he took Jeeps And he took them behind enemy lines. And behind enemy lines, nobody expects to see their enemy. So therefore, no one's looking for them. And it's actually a lot... It's really easy to move around behind enemy lines. Because nobody expects to see them. and no one's looking for them. And they could just pretty much do whatever they want. Sabotage, you know, put landmines out, whatever. And so they did that in North Africa, and then they did it again in Italy. So, excellent book, both of excellent books, Popski's Private Army, definitely read up on that. You read that you are going to want to buy a Jeep, let me tell you. And forget the Jeeps that you see today where they put these you know, super huge balloon tires on them and jack them way up and all that. Screw that. You want it to be small and lightweight and maneuverable. Okay. Because back in those days in Tuscis private army, they drove those things on goat trails in Italy where the Germans didn't even bother posting any guards there because, oh, nobody can drive up here and they didn't even bother with it. Well, they just cruised right on up there in the little jeeps and made it happen. So that's what you want. You want something that's very small, light weight, so that's why those side by side that I was talking about earlier, those are perfect for that role. If you get a Jeep, don't go with the great big huge tires on it. Go with something really compact. Well, again, the problem with the, when they first came up with the Hummer, the Hum-V, it was the Hum-V, The MPs didn't want it. Why? Well, MPs, for instance, have to go down back streets, back alleys and places, and the Humvee tried to use the Humvee the same as the quarter-ton jeep, slash, you know, weapons carrier, that's the quarter-ton truck. What happened is, you get down in an alley, you couldn't get out of the vehicle. You couldn't dismount. So needless to say, you don't take it there because that's where they find you dead the next day, you know, face down over the steering wheel. And the big thing about this, they had to start buying other things privately and actually pressing them into service. That's what they did. Go ahead, jump in there. So real quick about the Humvee, and this is kind of where all this talk about vehicles kind of started in my mind today, is early this morning I had a friend of mine, he showed me a posting on eBay for a Hummer. That's for sale. Oh my, that's cool. That's got the cool factor, but... From a practical standpoint, you're better off buying an old used Silverado 2500 HD or F250. What you want is a four-door diesel truck that can go anywhere. That's what you just go with it because those humvees, those things get stuck on flat pavement, man. And the gas mileage, oh my gosh, it's four miles per gallon city, six miles per gallon highway. Right and that's that is unarmored with no gear in it. Well here again you just get the 2500 Chevy Silverado pickup truck 2000 to 2005 The military bought a bunch of them. That's basically what I'm running right now In fact for a little while. It was fortunate. I was running into crew cab 8-foot bed 2,500 with the wasp eyes. Get the wasp eyes. They're mean. They're mean. They just have a better illumination process. You're not going to, you're going to black them out down the road anyway. But basically that is the go for, for intermediate infantry operations right now. It's not the only one used. We've got Fords, F-150s, all kinds of other stuff. Like I said, if I see a truck and it's cheap, it's probably going to go in the inventory. What really bothers me, and I want to point this out, a lot of you guys were doing videos a few years back showing you shooting up vehicles as part of your militia training. And the vehicles that you were shooting up had no rust. They were in excellent condition, but they weren't pretty by your standards. That's your tactical vehicle. You don't shoot that up. That was an affordable tactical combat vehicle, a Ford F-150 pickup truck from the late 90s. Is it paid for? Yep. Run good? Well, yeah, but I can hear about an old truck. Well, it's an old truck that works.
