the machines are running all night weavers and cutters test each stitch they're woven in tight strand and each thread is tested in true all the knots are woven by hand and on each rope there will be a name of one who has betrayed his land our leaders have forgotten the oath that they took when they swore to protect and preserve our freedom and rights and religion too in whatever church we serve They lined all their pockets and deceived the people and most went along with the flow. But tempers are short and their memories are long. Each name the people will know. When each rope is finished, it's tested for strength and packed in a bag with a hood. And upon the bag is the name of a traitor. who did his country no good. Someday we will hear that Nuremberg plea when the hour is drawing near. I was only doing what I was told, another lie, I fear. And for those of you who don't believe, be around when the party begins. What next will be stretched and cries will be heard and the traitors will sway. We fought a revolution. We wrote the Constitution. For future generations, this is like... In this, the ladoms 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. The land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've given government control. Those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and simply farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors. 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 to end with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children 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 Republican each God-given right As Iowaw Key'd vanished in the mistle once he came His words were true, not free But we have ourselves to blame For even now as tyrants trampled each God-given right We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep And wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer? he called out from the grave. www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we are on satellite by the hands of many who we do not see every day and most we do not know. But we are on every body of water on the planet, progressively through the day with the intel report, both analog and digital satellite. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is, oh no way, yes, yes, it's Wednesday, it's Weapons Wednesday, WW. It is the 7th of May, it is the 17th year of open obvious and pissing in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. America with a K 2025 Old Earth Calendar 2025 Battle for the Republic Book 3 a dark anniversary. Let me smell this coffee here. Oh, oh rich. Let me taste this. I just had to try this because it's Vietnamese. It's from Vietnam. This is coffee from Vietnam and it's was cheap very cheap. Now, you know what? Tastes pretty good. Works just fine. It's dark water. It's got that, you know, proper rich flavor, a little burned, a little dark, which is what I want. I'm happy so that worked out pretty good for only a few dollars a pound I cannot complain about that of course the Vietnamese might be trying to murder us by poisoning the stuff of you know is coming to the US hatred and long-standing Animosity being what it is, but now we'll see if I die during the program you'll know so anyway It is weapons Wednesday couple things going on number one What I was saying yesterday, there was a bunch of questions after we were talking about Pakistan. Yes, they literally can ID every piece of ordinance that's used. Now whether or not somebody is going to try to be deceptive in some way, well, we'll wait and see, but both sides have effective intelligence collection gathering. They have individuals who are adept with regard to understanding and evaluating ordinance, both for use and receiving. And so we'll eventually, probably in the fog and confusion that's intentionally being created because, well, as you probably heard, first the Pakistani militants launched their probably American-made rockets that came from Afghanistan quite accurately into India. India turned around and retaliated. Pakistan is outraged because the India retaliated for the attack that took place. So Pakistani outrage is now going to be forcing retaliation against the retaliation, which we also would call escalation. So again, this is out of the blue. I think this is rather fascinating. Somebody got paid. I think somebody spent some big money in the dark side of the force. to get a war going somewhere and anybody let me point something out over the last couple of months anybody see a whole bunch of flags or comments and warning about the probability of a full free fire conflict between India and Pakistan was there anything you see any special reports anybody do any talking about it was there any prep for it You see, usually there are some pretty obvious indications. Now the intelligence agencies knew this attack was coming. The Mossad knew it was coming. The CIA knew it was coming. NSA knew it was coming. All these people knew it was coming. Did they tell India? No. Would they tell Pakistan? Eh, if it was going the other way? Maybe not. Maybe. Maybe not. Depends on the usefulness of the crisis. Right now, The spit swappers and ring knockers need a crisis. They need a development of conflict. There are two things that that will do. It's doing right now to us here, distracting us from other activities inside the United States. I'm not stupid. By us covering this, we're eating up time. That's not an accident. That is part of the formula for information conflict operations. So just keep that in mind. I will point it out because it's useful to understand some of the other things that are going to be happening here in the US when the ring knockers decide to pull the trigger and kick something off. And you will see similar variants on the subject matter as we are seeing them develop now with Pakistan and India. We can't really count on any public announcements because propaganda is, well, the first and For most tool of any operation from either side, India is claiming that Pakistan is lying about the aircraft that were shot down. They've also pointed out that the aircraft images were from literally months or years ago with different incidents that have taken place, not necessarily with regard to the combat zone, the area of operation or contact area. So, again, the big thing here is that a third party can step in. And this is the part that everybody needs to watch. The Israelis are good for stirring the pot. And the Israelis have nuclear devices. And if somebody were deciding they wanted to really get a war going, who would have time in the very rapid escalation of conflict to check to see who's nuke went off in, say, Pakistan's or India's backyard? It might have the taste of mozza juice on it, but that will be incinerated very quickly by the nuclear blast. So until someone would do a deep tell, and yes, they could identify exactly where the weapon came from and what its yield was, all the other components would be available by being able to read the radioscopic footprint of the device, whatever it is, surface blast, air blast, subsurface, whatever they would do. Where are the Israeli submarines? The Israeli submarines have the ability to attack randomly and of course nobody is supposed to keep track of the Israelis. You can watch everybody else but don't you dare watch the Israelis. Now, Israeli submarines in Pakistan, well, it's all mountains. Well, they're not going to be in the mountains. But where would they be with a launch platform? Oh, that's right. Yeah, right there off the ocean there. Off into the briny deep. Although again, with Davy Crockett type nuclear devices being a common factor with all class A nuclear powers, carrying a nuclear device in and setting it off is as likely as not. So just a heads up there. That is very likely also. Also, even for the, why this would be perfect for the Israelis. is because the powers that be, for instance, the Pakistani forces, I guarantee, have the ability to do that, at least with some of their weapons. Mostly it's not, everybody goes, well that's a suicide mission. Well, in theory, you're supposed to set the timer and run like hell, and at least get out of the peripheral, on the edge of the peripheral area of the blast, depending on how big the device. And if it's a backpack device, it's not that big. But it's big enough and it's obvious it's a nuke and the idea behind using nukes in a platform situation of this type would be to slow down an invading force, use as a coercive lever against a particular symbolic target, and then proceeding on with threats of more if you don't back off, separate from the action. You know, go somewhere else. Do something else, but don't be here. Blocking actions with nukes are very common with small tactical nukes. The Navy Crockets, for instance, were designed so that the individual would carry the nuclear device, backpack nuke forward. You'd lay it in front of, say, an advancing Russian or Warsaw pack force back in the day, way back in the day. But the idea is that there were only so many invasion routes, and the folded gap was targeted in a number of different ways. First for conventional weapons and then later if need be as escalation takes place and failure to stop say the Warsaw, you know, massive hordes as they come forward, the nuclear devices would be used to create a blocking factor. Now, here's the problem with that theory. Most of the Warsaw Pact, as I told you yesterday, and by the way the Indian Army is trained this way and so is the Pakistani Army, to fight through a nuke. Now what does that mean? If a nuke is activated, the philosophy is that a nuclear device is no different from any other weapon system that would be used in the field. Because of this, they plan on fighting through the device if it goes off. Now, this means maintaining a high speed, moving through the area of activity slash contamination as quickly as possible, and carrying on with the mission that has been assigned to the combat group, depending on what their formation is, what their assignment was, blah, blah, blah, et cetera. So it is very likely that, again, Even if somebody were to do something like this, it would not stop the conflict. It would instead probably efficiently escalate the action because, again, fighting through, the assumption is it's too late to ask questions nor to take any chances. All parties concerned would proceed with the conflict. They would proceed with contact at the tactical end, but they would proceed in general with the operation. as originally, whatever decision is made to, again, most strategically and then also tactically, employ the forces available and try to accomplish the task given to the specific combat forces on the ground, depending on where they are and again, how much resources, you know, what was spent to get them there. The big thing is that the terrain is bad. Cashmere, if you go take a look at it, you mentioned several times here, rivers. River crossing and also mountain terrain conditions or at least rugged terrain conditions are not tank country. In fact, it's the perfect impediment if you're trying to impede an aggressor force, a combination of the nuclear device we just talked about along with other resources that can be used to block up access points, destroy bridges, and that would be mostly combat engineer or what some armies call sappers, or sapper units. These particular formations, their job would be to breach to the best of their ability any of the infrastructure that's out there that's in the way. Either again rebridge if the bridge if it's debridge that's for the ones that are on the offensive Debridging obviously if you're the defender in other words bode the bridge if of course I can hold the bridge But if I can't hold the bridge go ahead permission to blow it up No, no, no, you will hold the bridge of course I will hold the bridge But if I cannot hold the bridge do I have permission to blow it up? See that's the that's that thing from a bridge too far remember the one you know Panzer commander. Yeah So this thing can escalate. It is already pretty hot, staying hot. You've seen a lot of the imagery, but a lot of the imagery from both sides has been pointed out by third parties. It's actually old information, old video that has been incorporated with some newer video because cameras were not necessarily on the targets or the, you know, again, the areas that were affected by the attack on either side. Now granted, I think if they wait long enough, we don't have to fabricate anything because this is the world of cameras. So you can pretty well bet somebody got it on a camera, which means somebody would, you know, somebody would pay somebody to get that kind of imagery. So we'll see what happens, but that is a sidebar. Yes, they can evaluate and determine missile, mortar, artillery round, or either indirect fire artillery or direct fire artillery even. And, if you not only the manufacturer type of weapon, but also probably even the date of construction. Because there are all kinds of TELs there with regard to fusing materials used for the weapon, etc., etc., etc. So, heads up, that's developing. In fact, it's getting worse, not better as we know. Also, the real quick, the aircraft as we said before, There are three tiers of aircraft on both sides of this war if it develops into an extended and more aggressive conflict. Now, India and Pakistan have been going at each other for quite some time, and Kashmir is a quote-unquote brackets contested area. Frontline aircraft or class A aircraft are typical on both sides for what you would typically see in any major power. However, none of these countries are that rich and they do know that they might be fighting multiple fronts. I mean, after all, India has China to the northeast and Pakistan to the west and they don't trust us either. Just a reminder, remember when they had the massive hurricane to a tsunami at the bottom of India? We tried to go in and spy on India's nuclear facility at the bottom southern tip of India. Do you remember that? And India threatened to shoot down our aircraft, rightly so because we literally had helicopters right in on their property. I mean flying literally at tree top or shorter level, almost ground level. Now, they should have been shot out of the sky by the Indian military. And we had no business being there. It was a complete lie. They were just spying on the Indian military. So again, India has to be prepared for all of the above. And for this reason, it doesn't retire aircraft easily. It does buy third market or second market. It's, again, a mix. If you take a look at the aircraft easily, you can get an overview of what's available. You will find that there's both Russian, European, and British aircraft in the inventory, and certainly some American stuff. Typical for a B class power, still a great power, but a B class power that is picking and choosing and it changes its policies as the decade goes by as far as what they're purchasing and why they're purchasing it. Most of that is just big brown envelopes under the table gobbled with money. For Pakistan it's the same situation, but smaller. Not that much smaller. Pakistanis military resources are comparable almost in number between Pakistan and India. Now as was pointed out somebody did mention very quickly here, well you know China will intercede for Pakistan. Yep, yes they will. Pakistan is already an extensive customer in a number of different ways just like several other South Asian countries. Yes, China, if it has to, will provide resources, probably multiple versions of whatever equipment the Pakistanis are already running. That's of the same type. This is common sense. But again, Pakistan goes through about 40 going on 50 years worth of different ages of aircraft. from a few state of the art to second tier and third tier. All of them will kill you. All of them can drop bombs. Most all of them have, not all, but most of them have been upgraded to more modern or sophisticated ordnance because it's easily done with aircraft. The aircraft itself may not have changed, but the ordinance is up to speed and the capability to actually run a wider range of ordinance makes the second tier aircraft more valuable in a long World War III scenario. The third tier aircraft are again also combat worthy, just less sophisticated across the board. Pakistan again has both Chinese, a mix of Euro, and other leftovers from other countries where they've actually purchased. And don't forget, Pakistan is a rental revolution country. They are an arms seller on a large scale to Third World and to other parties that need clandestine arms that can't be accounted for. This has been their niche for, well, half a century or more. Used to be one of the go-to countries. You need weapons to start a revolt in somebody else's country, you go to Pakistan. So Pakistan is not as backwards as some idiots would try to flap their yap about it's a dangerous situation All parties are lethal now how lethal will depend upon who decides to do what first? It's just that simple and right now there's retaliation for retaliation for the attack For retail more retaliation to come of course, so we'll see again how that develops next Also real quick, and I'm going to shift over. We're almost to the bottom of the hour here Real quick build for an AR-15 for $300. Palmetto State Armory still has the BLEM PSA complete classic AR-15 lowers, black, $99.99. I say that's $100. Well then, Bear Creek Arsenal has a number, I would say about maybe 15 or so. 16 inch barrel, AR-15 uppers, .223, wild, .556, NATO, etc. All 16 inches. Take your pick. $199.99. Damn, they love that. $99. So that's $200. So right off the bat, for two points of contact, you got $300 tied up into an AR-15. Now I will say this. There are a few locations that have complete rifles for just under $300 right now also. But that's a quick solution and it doesn't require any build skill All you got to do is buy the top buy the bottom you push two pins together once you make sure the dust cover up out of the way We'll make sure the dust covers up out of the way then drop one on top of the other click-click and you got a complete rifle For $300, but you can if you cherry pick build a gun for about $40 less and I'm not going through that list at the moment because we are at the bottom of the hour, but I can walk you through very quickly and I might because yes for $40 less you can build more rifles. There are a bunch of really good deals randomly out there every day and if you are patient and cherry pick you can knock it down even more price wise. The important thing is we're not worried about looks. I'm not worried about latest and greatest. I want a standard AR-15. A 16 inch barrel is the gladius of the day. I prefer a 20. That's me. And again, that's because I want to reach farther. But the 16 inch gun will do just fine. It will work and it will reach far enough. So that is a quick solution to the problem of I'm not armed, but it looks like I might need to be. And again, we're trying to come up with solutions that make sense for your pocketbook on top of everything else because everybody tells me the same thing, Mark, they ain't got that much money. I understand. I fully agree. So we need to come up with a solution that will fit your wallet and allow us to get you armed to the teeth in preparation for what the bad guys are going to try and pull, either with a World War III scenario or both the World War III scenario and the illegal alien attack from within which is not an if it's just a when and that's very obvious with some of the stuff we're seeing out west already. Anyway let's do this we are at the bottom of the hour it is weapons Wednesday and that could mean only one thing on weapons Wednesday. This is my right. There are many good but this one is mine. My right before God. There is danger and there's danger in our hands. Oh, here you're not just slinging off the views of the wild and free. But soon you'll know who the rifle, or the rifle. Get our hands on those rifles. You may ride a good, late speed. You may know it's the master. You forward march the speed. But you'll learn the fact-sputch faster when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader, John, starts. Glad to make up little noise. And always hit the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. Get our hands on those troops. Know which rifle. Make no mistake about it. And I'll tell you what, number three in the lineup, Ed. Keep your rifle by your side. Today especially, Antifa is starting to show their perverted, twisted face out west. Not anywhere that's critical. If they want to burn Oregon down, go ahead. If Oregon's going to let them burn them down, fine by me. However, they've decided now that the weather is nice that they can come out and be stupid. And that means that other places, they will be paid to come out and be stupid. Here we go. We'll look high and we'll look low We'll look everywhere we go Soon the looters will know that they can't hide They come loud and they come fast We'll shoot first so we can last Keep your eye full by yours Oh Lord, they just won't stay away singing Oh Lord, for this I won't need pay when we take a stand No, we must tech our land, keep your eye full by your side. They'll come, come night, they'll have our children in their sights. So stand guard in every pass from north to south. Oh, they can scream, they can shout, they will never push us out. Keep your eye full by your side. They just won't stay awake, singin'. Oh Lord, for this I- I won't need pay when we take a stand No, we must protect our ends Keep your rifle, fire your saws And they'll have tanks, cause they've got funding from the banks But we won't fall as long as we can fight They'll go on and say we hate you But they won't get past the gate Keep your rifle, fire your saws Won't stay awake and sing in for this time Don't need pay when we take a stand No, we must protect our lands Keep your rifle, buy your stuff Have allies in the East From the Great Plains to Tennessee They help us hold with all that we do need But from the west comes another way From Red Sand, Fran or Burn, LA Keep your rifle, buy your stuff Don't stay away But for this I won't need pay When I see your face No, I must I must protect my place, keep my rifle by my side. I'll stay away singing, no loss I won't be paid. When I must protect my place, keep all by my side. Keep my rifle. For everybody out there, this is Weapons Wednesday. Your mind is your first best weapon, but if you fail to physically defend yourself, Someone's going to put a bullet in your beaner, turn your head into a canoe, and splash that linguine between your ears over there against the wall and that'll be all she wrote. It won't be much to think about then. Glorious mind, but it was not protected. You need to be willing to physically defend yourself when the time comes and that means you have to organize, arm, equip, and train as militia for mutual defense. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations. Logistics, the key to victory. Understand that if we can get the material where we need it, when we need it, then that puts you with the card up against the enemy. And that's what we need to be ready for. So logistics, it is the most critical aspect of operations. Yes, we understand all the other components. and the ability to be competent tactically, that you can develop and we will continue to develop on a massive scale. We're buried, we're busy. We don't have enough time in the day to get everything done we'd like, but we are accomplishing great deeds. I would say thank you again to all of our friends that picked up the weight because of all the other things we have going on behind the scenes you don't know about. And we just have to keep it that way for now. But again, The idea here is for everybody to stay focused on the task, complete what it is that needs to be completed, dot all the I's, cross all the T's, and then get on with business, get on with life. There's all kinds of other things we have to do. I understand that. But it's a simple checklist to accommodate completing that list, that very short list of what it is you need to complete, to be a militiament, to complete the Oh, preparatory phase and then you work into the developmental phase with regard to training and operations. We had a lot of friends. We'll all help you with that. Not a problem. Get it done, get it done quickly. Then it's repeat, repeat, repeat because a lot of what you do in training is dull, repetitive tasks. Just that simple. But it pays off. Truly, truly, truly pays off. We've seen it. I've seen it. I'm a first person witness. Just to tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, guys, better trained. The more you train, the better off you will be. Just that simple. So, other things going on here real quick. We talked about Pakistan. This is supposed to be a big announcement. I have not seen it with the O'Keefe group today. Everybody, they were building up lots of drama, lots of showmanship. I'm going to have to go into hiding. We don't need to tell us about that. Well, I guess you can. But if you are going to hiding, what kind of hiding are you going into when you're announcing it? The best is to let the enemy think that you're going to continue with normal business and then go off and just disappear. Sorry, it's just me. This way I think about things. And also, again, anybody, I have not seen the showmanship announcement of today, but there is activity that is afoot, as Sherlock Holmes would say. So we will see what we will see here shortly with regard to that. Another thing about, oh, hold on. Well, somebody's got an answer here. Oh, now we've got another question. Sorry about that. Hold on, guys. Another thing to remember in light of all of the other things that are developing is that the bad guys at a given point are not going to want anybody to see what it is they've been doing. You know this. Everybody does. This is another reason burning down the house, you know, like that song from Talking Heads, right? Hey, we might play that in a minute, Ed. That's a good one. How's that sound? Yeah, I think we will play that in a minute. Burning down the house by talking heads. Pull it up and have it ready to go. Okay, there we go. That'll help. For all of you out there, this Antifa thing out in, Oregon is normal. They're just giving it publicity. These characters have done all kinds of garbage nonstop. We've got listeners, friends that are right now listening to the program. Some of them I talk to on the weekend when they get a chance after work. And this is what you see there is happening constantly to the point where most people don't want to go to Portland for anything. Okay, it's just that simple. Portland has become a toilet. Portland, Portland has allowed itself to become a communist cesspool. And it is going to continue to be a communist cesspool. Nothing is going to change there. Okay. So, with that in order, understand that there are people who are also trying to stir the pot from the other direction, we understand this, to create crisis to make you believe that, you know, which people resist, you'll be absorbed or we're all doomed. Nothing can be further from the point. We are not all doomed. The enemy is not all powerful. We can beat the living of Jesus out of them, but you're going to have to stay focused when the time comes. We're just going to have to kick off and we're not waiting for permission on that when it does happen. It means that you need to be prepared to fight and fight effectively. That means train. Train hard. Get together with your allies, get together with friends, and come up with a program. I don't care what you do. He'll lead... old axiom. Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way. Or, in the immortal words of Dr. Fizzy Wigg, Do something. You're the pilot. And in fact, you are. You're the pilot of your life. So let's square ourselves away. Let's get what we can accomplish and get on down the road because nothing's going to get better here. It's going to, in fact, get pretty exciting pretty fast, I think. When they do decide that they can't go any farther or they're going to be heavily exposed. And you know what I mean by exposed. A lot of people are seeing some of this stuff, the writing's on the wall. The perverts did what we know what they did with the Epstein nonsense. And we know that there's a whole hell of a lot of perverts out there, but they do not want you to know just how wicked, evil, and corrupt they are. Even though you pretty well can guess it. See, that one thing you can guesstimate is another thing to know. And then if you know, you've got to ask yourself, why are we letting the bastards sit there? See, that's the part they understand. So, this is why we're on tinterhooks. We're on a balancing act here right now. And it's not going to change. Now, again, the solution is not just complaining about the problems. Let's have some fun. First of all, dead talking heads burning down the house. It's what they want to do in Portland. I'm sure they're going to get paid to do it in other places. And you know, Talking Heads was that edgy band. You know, they were an edgy group. You do understand that. They weren't part of the man's program. Well, and then they sold out. And they made millions and millions and millions more back when, well, MTV still played music. And sometimes you can put white people out there playing music. Sometimes. We got a caller. Who do we have? Hold on. We got the music plan. Here we go. Music coming. Here we go. King was the best from right here. A little bit of live. That was a live piece right there, needless to say. If you did not recognize it. And again, for everybody burning down the house talking heads, early 19... I want to say 1981. You can slap me in the microphone. I could be off by a year or two. So again, why? Well, because they're thinking about it now. On that note, We always talk about weapons and weapons Wednesday. I'm a firm believer in investing in fire extinguishers. Now, do you think? Now, one of the things I would point out is I know that, well, Mark, you want to get the best equipment. Yeah, but not everybody can. Also, I'd rather have too much and maybe one not work. because I have lots of other ones laying here, but I buy fire extinguishers at yard sales where guys usually work for maintenance or maybe they even work for a fire extinguisher company. I love it when I find a place where the guy has 40 or 50 of these units. And they were just outdated last year or maybe the beginning of this year. And you get them for like $5 or $4 apiece. These are like $300 fire extinguishers typically. We're talking regular industrial service extinguishers that are supposed to be in key locations around education sites, industrial sites, public places, et cetera. You want those. Number one, they work well for fire extinguishers. Number two, it's a great way to create improvised, dropped ordnance when the time comes. You've got a thread on the nozzle end where you hold it and you make it spray. Well, you unscrew that. You put a thin system on that. You've got an already prefabricated, droppable device. It's kind of cool. You've already got a hole. You've got everything ready to go. It's not difficult to fix up the rest of the way with an impact fuse and you can create an air-croppable piece of ordinance. Spray painted a color so it looks cool, put some goofy numbers on it that mean nothing. And when the time comes, it looks pretty impressive. Especially, well, they're not going to read the paint job on the way down. But if anybody sees any propaganda imagery, it's always kind of cool to mess with their heads. Right? Right. Have some fun. So anyway, fire extinguishers are your friend. Also, a lot of people are talking about or think about doing personal ordinance projects. Yes, creative ordinance projects. Now I'm gonna warn you again that a lot of the work that's out there was done by the clandestine school of Screw Everybody. And many of the manuals that are out there that are floating around are not designed to do anything other than take you out before in theory you might take somebody else out. In other words, the formulas are in question. Now here's something that one of our fellow patriots did back in the 80s. And what he did is he was buying up all of these manuals, and he was doing micro batches. He was doing the math and scaling down the batch and looking to see, watching to see what would happen reactively. with whatever it does that was offered in the way of a formula solution. In other words, you do it, but you do it at such a small scale that it's less likely to be lethal if there's a boo-boo involved. Well, turns out several times he had boo-boos. And even with the scaled down and reduced formula component done in very small percentages, there are a couple of harrowing experiences he had indicating that if he had built to spec that the Wicked Evil powers that be, well, they planned on making sure that not only did you get taken out, but anybody nearby probably would have been taken out with you if you'd done the batch in the formula list to the level that was recommended. So, heads up, there are some very simple things to remember is that KISS, keep it simple, stupid, don't get grossly overcomplicated, and improvising with munitions can be very expensive in other terms of cost of resources and personnel. So we do try to avoid that, to be quite honest, and instead take advantage of stripping the enemy dead of everything they possibly have on them. Remember, your enemy is a mobile resupply pod waiting to be harvested. And you want to make sure that you are prepared and ready to do so. So you need to have a plan. This is where practicing stripping enemy casualties is actually one of the courses that we give. Use of grapple hooks for turning the dead. Also, the idea that when you do strip the aggressor, you take everything. You also want to be able to catalog it slash categorize the material you collect because it's part of also intelligence collection. And this is something that's very critical to understand. Remember, when you take an aggressor down, especially if there's somebody that's been on the offensive where they're hunting you, where instead you hunt them just as hard as they thought they were hunting you and they end up being the prey in the long run. The idea is that if you're successful, you need to be able to evaluate the aggressor's potential. You want to map out the enemy's order of battle, and to do that, you need to collect things, and you need to have a documentation process in place to do so. So when you do strip the enemy like you're gutting a fish, and you take everything off the corpse, One of the things you want to do is secure papers, documents, and information to include rank and material, ID cards. All of that needs to be baggied inside the hobo bundle that you make up for transport. What's a hobo bundle? Well, you take the rain gear, whatever it is that the enemy was carrying, typically it's a poncho, but it's not necessarily in this day and age because a lot of people are carrying rain gear sets, but you take the rain gear item and as you strip everything off the enemy, outer clothing, web gear, outer clothing, outer pants, t-shirt, and socks and boots, no matter how nasty or messy they are. That's why you use the rain gear because it will keep everything in a nice package. As you search the corpse and as you identify material and information that's available, use Ziploc bag to protect it from any further cross-contamination or damage because of mmm, bodily fluids. Stuff that's oozed out of the target usually because of traumatic perforation by high velocity freedom pellets. So, again, the idea here is that you're able to identify who, what, where, when. You do a report that goes along with this to identify where the body was, you know, where the body was recovered, what area of contact or what part of the battlefield, unit command, whatever it can decide how best to establish a coding system for that. You know, we don't just blab it out into a file, people. But the idea here is that you are able to map out because you might run into something unique, new uniforms, new equipment, different weapons change. Most important, for instance, are changes in support technology, such as biological testing technology. One of the ways that we found out that a couple of new, and actually this happened several times during the Cold War, one of the ways to determine an upgrade or a change in Warsaw Pact policy with regard to their biological weapons forward deployments or chemical weapons was a change in their decontamination kits. The simple thing, but it was a very important thing because by identifying the change it was demonstrated that there was a change in the order and deployment of particular types of contaminants They acted accordingly to upgrade American defense and also to identify once they knew what the threat was by the antidote or by the decontamination kit change in the material that was in the decon kit. They would then start to identify launchers or projectors that could effectively use the equipment. There are certain culprits that always do. that always are used for this type of technology, but there may be new ones. And so again, changes in equipment are significant. Even the idea that a unit has new clothing as opposed to old clothing. Remember, units wear into their gear. And so as part of my evaluation process, the question is, well, where the report indicates that the unit was completely new uniforms, new web gear, they had an additional amount of equipment. the equipment that they identified that was unique, that information and the equipment was passed on to me as the intelligence analyst evaluating the particular threat. And I then go through the process of benchmarking, logging, identifying the material and then passing it on up the chain of operations, not necessarily command, but operations with regard to technology evaluation. So, again, when stripping the enemy dead, don't just assume it's just a quick cart-gut. Okay, that's not what you're doing. You still have to think towards the future. You could save lives, in fact, significantly save a lot of lives if there is a major change in the enemy's employment of material and deployment of certain technologies. And this can all be done by evaluating enemy dead, enemy casualties, and or enemy prisoners. All of the above. So, and remember we're looking at a protracted, longer conflict. You're going to see overlapping materials with our situation on the American continent, just like you would in any other part of the world, like you're seeing in the Ukraine, with many overlapping weapon systems, new and old, with many overlapping pieces of support equipment and technologies. tactical gear, etc. You best learn as much as you can now while you're able to sit in front of a computer and look at as much of the material and equipment out there. Security Guy 42 has got some really good videos, in fact, a great series of videos. on camouflage and equipment, and I highly recommend them. I highly, highly recommend them. Security Guy 42, go to his channel on YouTube. I think he's doing some stuff on Rumble. Kick me in the microphone if I'm wrong. But go through and watch all of his videos work through his entire library. That's information, doesn't cost you anything, but it's priceless to have between your ears for the future. We're at the dock. We're taking a break. God bless the republic. Yep, with a new world order, we shall prevail. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire's on the run. We're in the march. Let's take a break. Rod, we've got a cup of coffee in the bathroom. And we'll be back here in a few minutes with the second hour of the Intelligence Report. Remember, as I said before, your mind is your first best weapon. Tune it up, sharpen it, use it. Just don't let anybody splatter against the wall. That's all. You do better and be better than the other side. We'll be back. It's Wednesday. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. 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 use in the 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 you've given government control Because those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country 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. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores. And send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? Both sons of the Republic arise. Take a stick. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God as I awoke he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. But we have ourselves to blame for even now as tyrants trample each God given right. We all 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? He called out from the grave. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornky, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southeast, West and Northwest. And we're on satellite. I want to say thank you to all of our listeners who also rebroadcast via satellite analog and digital. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States, to include AM&FM microstations, CBB stations, AM&FM conventional stations, UltraNet, Hallmark, and Golden Spike technologies, free and separate from all of the conventional Internet system. Comparable inability difference. Our older machine, machinery runs just as fast as any of the latest tech you would buy over the counter. Why? No spy burden. No spy burden. Anyway, it is, no way, yes way, it is weapons Wednesday. It is the 7th of May, 17th year of OpenOmius and the interface Fabian, the socialist and Soviet socialist occupation. America with a K 2025 old earth calendar I'm given Olshas guac-captain 125% oh they may still blow up and 2025 Battle for the Republic book 3 that's right the dark anniversary very dark for the bad guys oh and do you see me shedding an alligator tear sir No, no, you won't see me shedding any alligator tears for my enemy So and it has been a very busy week and we're in the middle of it already. We are halfway to the work weekend There's the only thing that changes what perspective everybody has on who they're working for Me, I've been kind of demi out of the regular workforce for a very long time, so I work for myself. We work for the Patriot effort. We have one purpose, one purpose only. Get as much done as quickly as possible, stay focused, and continue on target and on mission. So anyway, it has been very busy. Again, I say thank you to our friends who are pitching and helping out with all of the tasks at hand because this is only going to get more exciting as the days go by. Everybody, I think, is seeing that now. Still, I have not seen anything about any of the public announcements. There was supposed to be a Mr. O'Keefe special expose going on today. Has anybody seen it? If so, chime in. I would be curious so far. There's been all kinds of speculation. Today is Wednesday. This is the day there was supposed to be an announcement. Yes, a veritable mom shell, as they say. We shall see. There are some interesting announcements that were made from the to Justice Department today and seemingly almost like a defensive move in that, look, look, see what we're doing? Look, look, look what we're doing. Look what we're doing. See, now before anybody says anything, look at what we're doing. So I'm curious about that because it's usually an indicator that all is not well. Hard times in knuckle downs lonesome. Okay, that's just that simple. So we'll see how things develop. Anyway, Weapons Wednesday, a couple other things here. If you have an SKS and your primary weapon is the SKS, keep it. I'm not telling you to get rid of it, but get an AR-15 simply out of policy because of cost. However, here's something to consider and I understand the balancing act with the money situation and with ammunition the way it is. If you do not have a few thousand rounds of 7.62x39, you need to keep buying that. If your primary weapon is going to be an AK-47 in 7.62x39 of whatever kind of variant, AKM, AKM, AKM, AK-47, Chinese defense rifle, blah, blah, blah, blah, etc., etc., and it's in 7.62x39, or SKS, buy more ammo. Seriously. And then buy a lot more ammo. I love the SKS. I thoroughly enjoyed the AK. They are highly reliable weapons. They are high up in our priority with regard to our inventory. Don't make any mistake about that. But if your primary weapon is the SKS, and if it was a choice between, say, spending progressively some money, well, you could still do a small change. You could do smaller investments in an AR and still have one, and you should. But the priority should be at this point in time, and I'm dead cultures about this, if you've got an SKS, an AK-47, or an AK-74 in 545x39, your priority should be to buy all the ammunition you can find. For the best price, you can find. Ball, ammo, nothing special. No, Superzinger ZL-466, Buzzsaw, you know, explode on impact bullet, blah, blah, blah. No, nothing like that. ball ammunition cheapest for the mostest and buy and buy and buy See, I'm not ridiculing the the s caster a K in any way and I'm not dropping them But you have come later to the game maybe and you have these weapons or maybe you've been with us for a long time and you still have a good inventory But these route these weapons I want to see them stay in the fight in order for these weapons to stay in the fight We need every round possibly possible stored and in supply. Your supply, I don't want to centralize them. I want it tactically dispersed across the whole country. We're not the Israeli Jewish government that restricts their gun owners and has all their guns locked up and then only allows them to have 50 rounds, even if it's locked up in a government arsenal. No, that's not us. We're Americans piss on the Israeli trash. Those pieces of carpet, those carpet bags go to hell. Actually, they did. A whole bunch of them listened to their government, were properly and politically correct, and they're dead now. They were disarmed, and they were disarmed for a reason to create a crisis situation. Well, it happened. But it was mostly created by the Israelis, killing Israelis to create the condition so that everybody would go along with the Twilight Zone, you know, episode that we're seeing with the Israelis in Palestine. Okay, it's just that simple. You understand that. But more ammunition, another thing. Now I will say this, if you have a Macarof, I love the Macarof pistol, there's tons of them out there, we got them for $69 all day, we have them stacked like cordwood, we have ammunition by the crate. But if you came late, you bought one or have one, maybe it was inherited. A lot of people, I will say this, a lot of you listening, have inherited your weapons from grandpa or dad. Okay, they jumped the generation because dad's got the same thing grandpa had. Grandpa figures you're the oldest or you're one of the boys or girls. You need weapons. They let you have what they owned. They left it to you. That's a good thing. But most important is if you only have a few boxes of ammo, your priority should be to buy more ammunition now. Right now. Don't hesitate, don't wait. Find the cheapest source for factory mall ammo and buy more. You're not going to lose a penny. You're going to benefit. We're all going to benefit because you are better prepared for what it is that is going to need to be done. Okay? So again, I'm not poo-pooing any of the weapons. I've had a lot of questions that have been talking about the AR-15. I will say what Sergeant Ellsworth, one of our best ordnance NCOs in Op 4 for decades, used to say at every class he gives. He goes, yep, AR-15, yes, this is the rifle. It's a piece of junk, but it's a neat piece of junk because of what it can do. OK, it's that simple. And here's the thing that I also wanted to point out today is Here's another thing about the AR-15. It's mass throw weight in terms of purchasing power. Let me give you an example of how critical that is. Does Smith and Wesson make an AR-15 now? Yes or no. Does HK make an AR-15 rifle now? Yes or no. Well, yeah, they do, don't they? In fact, does Ruger make, and Ruger makes the Mini-14, but does Ruger make an AR-15 platform rifle now? Yes, they do. That demonstrates what I've been talking about with regard to economic throw weight. The level of activity with regard to the number of arms in service is so great. that it is levering all of the rest of the industry. Does everybody understand what I mean by that? It literally is changing the market and forcing the market to invest in a system that's totally dissimilar to the product that these companies traditionally have brought into service. Think about it. HK, even if you go into the newer, well, of course, you and I aren't going to buy a G36. Why? Because it's HK and they hate you. And if they did build a G3 or, forgive me, an HK36 that they could sell you, it would be such a crappy piece of debris that you wouldn't want it in the first place. And it would be done intentionally. They've done this before. They've created weapons that HK has marketed to the American people and then they have not offered spare magazines. or they cut off the spares in every category of what you would normally get to support a weapon is cut off by HK so that it inconveniences the American firearms owner. And they do it intentionally. They bollocks the market intentionally. But even for all of that, guess what? HK makes an AR-15 knockoff. It makes an M16 knockoff. It doesn't mean if it's piston or impinged, it doesn't make a difference. It doesn't really. It's the same rifle. I can pop two pins. I can take that upper off and I can put another upper on of whatever model I want. And I've got the same rifle I've got in 100,000 locations around Michigan and a million, million locations, or millions and millions of locations around the United States. So that's how much pressure and how influential the value of an inexpensive arm of that type is. It's demonstrated by economic example. All these other countries make their own forms of weapons. AHK doesn't like selling somebody else's gun like that. They will make reproductions of rifles for particular purposes. There's a number of things that they've done over the years. However, again, typically if they know it's going to the US market, you're screwed. Just to get the heads up. In this case, no, they were trying to keep somebody happy. There was something in very particular about what was done with these companies. And Ruger is no different from HK. They're both run by the Jewish mob. The Jewish mob tells them what to do. The Jewish mob completely manipulates their market and activities. And interestingly enough, in both cases, the AR-15 has appeared with the HK or Ruger logos on the side of the rifle. Huh, kind of interesting. Most important is it demonstrates, like I said, strength, economic strength, well, economic pressure. So right now, if you get an AK or an SKS, buy more 7.62x39 ammo. for all of you, no matter what weapon you're committed to. Could be the FN FL, could be the G3, could be, and if you are, fantastic. Notice I'm not telling you to change there either. But we want to keep adding to the AR-15 inventory. Now several people caught on to what I've been saying. It's like buying more mags. You know how many people I run into? Some of you are new listeners right now, and you know because we've had this conversation about the whole idea that, well how many mags do you have in a long got three? Well that's enough to get you into trouble. Not quite enough to get you out of trouble. Okay, that's the problem. Again, the bad guys know this and they promote certain propaganda or pressure to the population to try and lick one hole with the other side. You know, me going to make you bad guys, your enemies feel good. You know, act like you don't like the weapon that you purchased. I thought you liked the weapon that you purchased. Oh no, I don't like it. Oh no, God no. It's horrible. I apologize for existing. I am not worthy. I am not worthy. You know, remember Bill and Ted. Oh, no, that wasn't Bill and Ted. What am I talking about? Oh, yeah, it was Bill and Ted's fan. Maybe it was. Anyway, close enough. So anyway, the big thing here again with regard to each of the weapons that you have, is number one, support for each of those weapons. You need to have your personal level firing pin extractor and where possible ejector, but some weapons that's not possible. The ejector is built into the weapon in a particular way and would require far more than just a field change out. Okay? That's true of the AK and others. So again, the critical components that will wear out are the ones you want to invest in. Now, while you're doing this, you can make up a list of AR-15 parts. Let me point out how would I choose what to buy. Buy what's cheapest on the market for the moment. If you have to chug along and just purchase a part maybe once a week or maybe twice a week, but it's still limited to a few dollars or five dollars or at the most maybe 15 or 20, then you could still stay on a schedule, and purchase every part necessary to build a relatively inexpensive AR-15 rifle. It's not a problem. In fact, pretty straightforward and easy. The big thing is, again, that you're going to have to continue to invest a little bit of those shekels you've saved up in order for you to get the job done. And again, it means that you're going to have to keep track of things. You don't want to double over. If you're that restricted in resources, You're going to want to make sure that you square away that list so that one by one or two or three or four for certain items. You've got everything you need to be able to put that rifle together, make it serviceable, and again, become a part of the integrated defense mechanism that is the militia. Okay? So again, not difficult, but it does require a little forethought. And then again, sticking to the timeline. And being religious about it, literally. Being religious about it. Uh oh. Somebody's asking. Well, in magazines. Now, here's another thing. A lot of you watched my, many of you have watched, but not everybody has watched the videos that we've put out there. American Peril, one, two, and three, obviously. Equipping for the New World Order Part 1 and 2, which, they're not outdated. They're just dated to a particular window of time with regard to the standard resources that were available. The SKS, if you'll notice, is represented there along with the M1 carbine. At the time when we did American Peril, the SKS was still a reasonably priced rifle, and right now it's reasonably priced for its present competitors and the field of weapons available. The carbine's the same way, but the carbine has gone crazy town. It's really pressing. what I consider to be excessive pricing, but that's just happening with everything because as we said years ago, since there are no new guns that are going to be in the surplus system, they're all going to be chopped up parts. Guess what? It's either going to be a brand new rifle out of the box, it's a copy or a mimic of whatever is the issue of the military forces of the day today. or it's going to be the leftovers that are still coming in from all these inventories around the planet. But that's few and far between and because of that the prices are reflected, reflecting the availability. So this is why again the carbine at the time when I even when we did American barrel and we did the equipping videos, the M1 carbine was still about $150 rifle. $125, $150 would get you a nice weapon. It's few and far between we're going to run into that. But both of those rifles were chosen. The reason I pointed them out is because they're easily manageable by the operators. They're easy to understand. They're very user friendly. Parts availability is massive, even with a carbine as a surplus item, as a collector's item. Carving parts are still everywhere. The cool thing is you can go to any parts company, typically like Sarco, Gun Parts Corp, Apex Gun Parts, and somebody's got carving parts. Sarco would be my first choice because Sarco's been in the business for decades and decades and decades, and they know their weapons, and they're going to ask the right questions if you have a certain firearm that you're trying to buy parts for because there are variants. And most important is a lot of people think, oh, I got an M1 carbine. You've got a universal carbine. And I've talked about this on the air in past episodes over the, not only over the last year, but over the decades. And the universal looks like a standard carbine. Some parts, depending on the year the universal was made, are military. But there's a certain point where universal went all stamped, all in-house construction for the most part. And that's a different bird. Even the bolt is just different enough for extractors, firing pins, that you need to go to the parts inventory for the universal carbine to make it work or repair it. So heads up. However. The weapons are still viable. If you've committed to them, I wouldn't change. If you're already confident with the weapon, if it's your personal choice, and you feel comfortable and effective with it, then the big thing, as with all these other weapons, the SKS has already mentioned, I would be buying ammunition on a weekly basis for every one of the weapons of that type that you've committed to. I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's carbine, for that matter, even the 9mm high point or whatever else. But especially if it's a non-standard military type round. The carbine is a military type, a military round. But it's a non-standard. Now there are armies, even Mexico still has M1 carbines, M2 and M3 carbines in service. They're all same rifle, just ones. First one is semi, the M1. The rest are full auto option. And that's why they haven't been retired. Plus, the Mexican government has access to an extensive munitions store for the carbine and other World War II and post-World War II weapons. So you're going to see that weapon in service in some strange places. It's not the first choice for everybody, but it is out there. So again, it's just like people saying, well, it's World War II. Yeah, well, Mexico has World War II armor still in service. And they know how to employ it. They're not going to go up against an Abrams with something like that. But they do know how to employ the weapon to create a tactical advantage for infantry operations, which is what the whole thing is about. They know how to, again, take the resource they have and utilize it. They're not throwing anything away because you can't afford to throw anything away. And they'll continue to use it effectively and it's just as lethal today as it was when it was built, no matter what that weapon is. Don't ever laugh at what somebody has in their hands. Most everything that everybody is carrying, no matter how old, is killed a god-awful number of people in its time and service. And none of that has changed. None of that is going to change. It's history, okay? So yes, you know, I don't care what it is. If it's got a muscle, muscle, muscle, pointed, pointed at you, you, you, and it echo, echo, echoes, which always seems to even if it's a 25. Guess what? Consider it a serious threat. So, another thing about the SKS and AKS. Right now, the SKS, there are parts available over at Centerfiresystems.com, in fact, they just wrote a flyer in their email system over the weekend and Monday about SKS parts. They do have a number of SKS parts in inventory right now. Centerfiresystems.com. Centerfiresystems.com. That's Centerfiresystems.com. Take your time, go over there, check to see what they have, see if any of that will float your boat. And the prices are actually reasonable. That's one thing I will say. They're not exorbitant. They're better than most for this era, for the period of time that we are in. And things have changed. But still, they're pretty reasonable. So you want to go check out CenterFireSystems.com. And another question popped up here was rifle stocks. SKS stocks have become pricey, especially original stocks. But if you run into something that's a grade B that's serviceable, I'd just throw it on the rifle if you got somebody who's badly damaged. Otherwise, if I were rebuilding an SKS right now and I got something that was in pieces and I put it together and I found out the stock's worthless, I would just go and buy an aftermarket Polymer stock. And I don't care for folding stocks, but if that's what's out there, it's the only thing you can get. You want to find the cheapest solution to put a stock on that rifle. Chote is the one you always hear the term, Chote stocks, because Chote used to be the number one producer for Polymer stocks for all of the import weapons. There's other companies out there, so it's a matter of who has what in stock right now, literally in inventory, that you can acquire. And Centerfire has a selection. There are a number of other companies. You just do a general search. You'll find what you need. But again, would I be real picky? No, because most of the stocks that are out there actually do work. The big thing here is if you're crunched and you're putting more weapons together from parts, pieces, and assemblies or from stuff that was maybe inherited, yes, you could put the weapon back together to military standard. But if it's prohibitive price-wise, no. The aftermarket stocks are far more affordable. What you're looking for is a solution. So you can put that weapon on the rifle rack and pull it as need be and either use it as a grab gun for yourself or as an expeditionary rifle for the future for people who showed up late and don't have anything to use. You're the solution you're providing an answer. They're not going to have be able to piss them on our wine about what they get handed to them They showed up late. They weren't prepared you are Congratulations at least you can go pew pew When other people can't which is a double plus good thing with about the hour and because we're at the bottom of the hour And it is weapons Wednesday. I think we all know what happens on weapons Wednesday We are the bellies, there's danger, and there's danger in our hills. Oh, here you not the sin of the field of wild and free. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle, in our hand of dry foam. He's tried a goodly speed, he may know how to turn the mountain. He's forward marked he's what you'll learn, but that's what you've got to do when you meet our mountain boys. And the leader just starts, glad to make what little noise, and all the way since the mark. Oh, the rifle, oh, the rifle. No, indeed. And... Gary Owen, Edward Gary Owen by Johnny Horton. Gary Owen, for those you might remember, it's the theme of the 7th Cavalry became the honorarium there. And this version is probably the closest to what was the traditional version that was actually adopted and brought in as the theme of the 7th. Chomper now! Gary Owen. The theme of the seventh cavalry for everybody who doesn't know. And that's one of the original lyrics versions. There's a couple of others out there. Actually, there's not one of them that probably is incorrect because it was an Irish drinking song. And things get blurry when you have an Irish drinking song that you're working on. And well, the more you drink, the more, most anything you have in the way of lyrics probably hits the mark close enough. The important thing is just not to falter. That was a whole idea. Well, maybe he'll fall before I do. Yeah, so just one more. Oh, God, he didn't. Yeah, doesn't work that way sometimes. So again, Gary Owen. And that was Johnny Horton. This was one of the versions that was done back, as I've said before, during the 100th anniversary of the Civil War. Johnny Horton did some fantastic music back during that period. during the anniversary window. So if you can, take the time, go hunt it down, check them out, and share where we can. But also put into your collection for the future. Remember, this is Patriot music, and we should have it where we can utilize it at our fingertips. It's inspirational. Anyway, it is Weapons Wednesday, a couple other things. Molotov cocktails. I'm waiting for the Torchlight Parade of Idiot Sticks with Molotov cocktails. It's coming. You know it is. We've got Antifa trying to burn down Portland again, or at least they're in the initiating stage. They're getting in everybody's face. They're trying to break stuff up. It's like they're like flowers. It's warm out now. It's safe for them to come out. They're not going to melt when the rain hits them, although they will probably be cleaner if the rain hits them. The stench probably means that in the dark you don't have to actually have a sight. You can aim by smell. But the fact is that, again, you've seen a multitude of these during the two-year burn down of the country. The cool thing is that the enemy was burning as many of themselves down as they were other locations, material, buildings, etc. Why? Well, they all watch movies and movies are not designed to educate. Movies are designed to propagandaize. And I cannot emphasize enough that the way they typically show you to make a Molotov cocktail is a good way to die. Number one, why do you have to have the rag wicking into what typically is an unmixed fuel, usually a highly volatile fuel like gasoline, why would you do that when there are so many other intelligent ways to make that firebomb more effective? Number one, you can use what's called a phosphate tape. That's a whole chemical process out of itself, but it means there isn't even any fire until you throw the glass, the glass breaks, the gasoline hits the phosphate tape, the phosphate tape reacts, and whoa, away you go. So instead of putting that cloth down into the glass bottle, becoming the Statue of Liberty and then the flaming Statue of Liberty later, if you don't know what you're doing, and most don't, especially sloshing the gasoline around. When you get that fuel air mix going, it takes care of itself real quick. So here's the thing. You can't the gasoline, but you don't just want gasoline. You want gasoline, what's called a high low burn. It's just like I've told you, study flamethrowers. With flamethrowers, if you look at the Hollywood versions, you see this big, billowous cloud of flame. Why? because only a high burn element is in these $400 or $500 homemade factory made flamethrowers that they're offering. I want you to go watch a World War II flamethrower. You ever watched a tank flamethrower? Ever watched a guy with a backpack flamethrower? By the way, what's that sound I'm making? Well, the first part is the flamethrower actually working. And then when the guy releases the trigger, what you don't know is that with many flamethrowers, they have a second trigger. What's that second trigger doing? Well, in some cases, depending on, it's a CO2 or a nitrogen purge. Nitrogen is more expensive. Nitrogen is a little more iffy in the field as far as being able to acquire. But the reason you do that is so that when you support that flamethrower downrange, the purge line pushes a non-combustible gas down the line so that the flame doesn't come back down the tube and activate some other part of your flamethrower that may be retaining fluid, you know, fuel. By accident, it could be a mistake. It could be you weren't paying attention to how you handled the flame head and you pooled some material inside the launcher, the projector, so you don't want to do that. Well, the same is true both with flamethrowers and Molotov cocktails. You want a high, low burn. Now styrofoam has been changed. You remember when they were doing the first part of this yuck rain garbage and everybody had to fight and so the Ukrainians were going to make Molotovs. Of course, they wouldn't let them have guns because they were busy being tyrants over there in the Ukraine, communist tyrants. Well, whatever they were, Jewish tyrants. But you had everybody breaking up styrofoam and putting in bottles. Well, that's okay, provided the styrofoam is not an organic biodegradable styrofoam. Because in order for an organic biodegradable styrofoam to exist, it has to be water soluble. Which means that the formula for the P-chip is different. You want something that is traditional poly styrofoam That is an oil-based product with no modifications. Why? Well, when you take the chunks of Styrofoam and you drop them into the gasoline, or if you put the Styrofoam inside the bottle and then add the gasoline, Styrofoam does what it's supposed to do, which is melt in the solution of the highly volatile product. What does this do? Well, it creates a high burn with the gasoline, but the lower product will burn also, but it sticks. Oh, that's why when you watch those documentaries, the guy with the military flamethrower, when he goes, and you see it go out, it's a nice jet, and it goes out. And you'll notice if you pay attention where it hits, it splashes around. Well, your Molotov needs to work the same way. So the important thing is you can use flake dish soap, you can use clear, conventional hand soaps, dish soaps. or you can use Styrofoam. Now you can also use transmission oil or crankcase oil but you only want to use a small percentage. Somebody's immediately asking what's the percentage? Well you can go as high as a third. So one third of the container is going to be the low temp burn, the sticky burn, and the other part, the rest of it's going to be the, my god, wish I wasn't hit by this stuff because it's really high end burn and quite volatile. Now when you combine the two, here's what happens, and you again properly mix everything. The low burn allows for the high burn material to stick to the target, which is what you want, be it people, machines, equipment, whatever. Bunkers. Okay? So the one thing about the mount cuff then is once you've done the mix and you put it in the bottle, you seal it. You seal it and you wipe it down so that none of the material is on the out. In fact, you want to be careful. You don't just slosh stuff around. They always show that too. There's no care in preparation. Well, they want that because when you make a mistake, you look like that flaming torch. And the many flaming torches you saw where these characters self-malletov themselves back, you know, a couple years ago. And before this, this has happened throughout rioting history, guys, for quite some time. Now on the outside, you put a piece of cloth. The piece of cloth is just white cotton or a t-shirt material, whatever you got. Polyester is not a good choice. You want something that's going to absorb materials. Why? Well, because you're sticking them in the jar off to the side and a little bit of that mix. What do you do with that mix? Well, you pour a little bit of it on that cloth you wrapped around the outside of the sealed bottle. When the time comes to use it, you flick your Bic, you use the match, you use the torch off to the side, be careful, don't sit over the flame. And the idea is as quickly as you like that, Mr. Well, kind of like with Mr. Grenade. When you pull the pin, Mr. Grenade is not your friend. Once you've started the activity of thinking you want to be the torch bearer, it's a good idea to get rid of the torch as quickly as possible, otherwise you will become the torched. Because I don't know what the quality of the glass is, you put the material in, but once you've started to heat it, you can have a reactive fracture and you're still going to end up with some really exciting events going on around you, especially flaming, burning, screaming, thrashing. So, again, we don't want to put the wiki thingy in the bottle. That's the suicide version. Not your first choice. And in fact, the model that I'm describing is the model that was actually put together as a kit by the Finnish government and the Finnish military for troops in Finland. Russians did not invent the Molotov cocktail. Well, Molotov was a Russian political officer. Yes, he was. And the reason that it's called a Molotov cocktail is because during the winter war, when the Russians were attacking, they claimed they weren't attacking, Molotov made the public announcement that the Russians were coming in to save the poor Finnish people because the government was starving them to death. And the Russian bombers were coming in and dropping loaves of bread to the people of Helsinki and other locations. Well, they weren't dropping loaves of bread, they were dropping bombs. So the joke was when they decided they had to use these improvised weapons, which up until that time only been called gasoline bombs, All of a sudden they came up with a slang phrase. Well, we're going to allow the Russian troops to enjoy a little Molotov cocktail to go along with that bread they're delivering. And so they started heaving the Molotov cocktails towards Russians and the rest was history. But again, when you see movies, they do things intentionally to get you killed or to improperly act. By the way, who runs the movie industry? Why? The Jewish mob runs the movie industry. So who is it that's been intentionally promoting and prompting improper, what, the Jewish mob? Who first rabble-rouse and stir the pot to get you excited about something, and then set you up to die by your own hand, while creating a very impressive image, of course. for the sake of whatever manipulation the Jewish mob has with the stuff, you know, property or, you know, the wealth of the nation they want to steal at that particular moment in time and they need you to be a casualty. That's why Hollywood lies their ass off to you about everything. Go ahead, caller, jump in there, please. Yeah, those text mics. Yeah, I think, I just wanted to go over something with you real quick. I think our next summer of love could start here in Texas. I could be wrong, but I think it could start here in Texas. I don't know if you heard about the Metcalf boy. He was a teenager and I forget the black boy's name. It was a white boy named Metcalf and they were at a track meet and the black kid stabbed and killed the Metcalf boy and the black boy is claiming self-defense but yet he was not in a tent. Each team has its own area or tent. He was where he shouldn't be. Yeah. He was where he should be. Rubbing through backpacks and stuff. The white kid told him to get out and leave and he said no and he said he better not touch me. Well, you know everything went ahead and escalated and I think it could start here because there's I mean it's he's catching a lot of support and if this kid gets convicted, you know, they're saying he have a self-defense, if he gets convicted, we could see the Antifa here and the Black Lives Matter. Right, he was coached. Okay, first of all, pardon the pun, track me, coach, haha. He was coached to do what he did, right? You know, again, he didn't think about this on his own. This was something that was planned, to a degree. I think he was, it was instigated. Number one, but common sense, I was in track. You know what? I never had to worry about carrying a knife or a club or any implement of destruction because I was there to run my ass off. Now, I did have the shot put and I did throw the shot put. I was actually pretty good in my class. in with the shot put but I never saw the need to carry a knife to a track meet under any conditions. Now I was in pretty rough area at one time, I mean I grew up in the 60s when all this stuff you're seeing now was happening in spades, okay. It was nothing, if you were gonna go to school, you were gonna get in a fight, there were gonna be three black kids to you, at least, sometimes four. The basic rule in a fight like that is you pick one of them, you get hold of him, and you beat the living bejesus out of him. You know what term I would normally use. But the idea is that you pick one and you make it so punishing that that one at least isn't going to think it's a real good idea to continue to participate in personal attacks against individuals arbitrarily like that. But it was the norm. That was the norm. And of course, it'd be like, well, you know, and let me tell you, I've had a lot of personal experience with this. My family did too. Well, Mr. Corn Key, you just have to understand these people. I understand these people. They're created, this person's a criminal. These people just come up behind you, try to stab you in the back, literally, and you don't get stabbed. That's unfortunate because you'd be easier as, I guess, a wounded person on the ground to deal with than to be an articulate individual making comments, which I wasn't that old, but I still had a brain. So, it was always your fault for existing. So, everybody goes, this is totally new. It was always your fault for existing. And the attacks came arbitrarily from any number of different directions nonstop. Okay? What I'm fascinated about with this is every element of this everybody knows is wrong and you brought it up right from the get-go. When you go to a track meet, do you go hang out? When you go to a football game, when you go to a baseball, basketball game or a baseball game, do you go over to the opposition's tent or the opposition's dugout and go hang out with the other side? Tex-Mex, is that what you do when you play the sport? Oh no, we didn't go over to the other side. I'm going to be kidding me. I really wanted to look for some trouble. If you're looking for something, that was the way to do it. Exactly. That's the only reason you would be doing that because you know full well as I do. Number one, even the coaches have promoted a competitive spirit. Competitive spirit dictates that no matter how you try to put it, you know, try to dress this up, is that you are in conflict with that other group. You're not chummy with him. You're not going over to say, yo homie, would it be high five? Because you're just supposed to be running your ass off or you're going to be beating the ball or catching the ball. Hold on. Hold on. Wait, I'm going to add to this. There's some information you guys haven't mentioned yet about this individual. He was suspended from the track meet. He wasn't even supposed to be there with his team in the other tent. He wasn't supposed to be there at all. Right, I understand. Well, yes, we should have brought that up right from the get-go. But, you know, again, it's the idea, let's say, and again, we already know that he was suspended because of lack of attendance because he was skipping school. That's what happened. But it wouldn't make any, if you're there, even if you were suspended, okay? Where would you be if supposedly, oh man, I gotta get to that meet because my boys are there. I gotta get to that meet because my boys, the guys I work with, I'm with the team. Where would you be? Your team isn't wearing those colors. They're not under that other tent. And everybody knows you're not supposed to be in that other tent. Period. Now, are people going to get confrontational? Yes. Well here's the other thing, Dad. I haven't heard anybody ask or anybody say why he was banned from the track meet. Why he was suspended from the track meet in the first place. Well it's been a lack of attention. I understand the focus is on the murder and what happened in the tent, but why was he not supposed to be? What was the suspension about? Because that probably would explain part of the story we don't know. Well, there's a lot more to his record, but it's typical for any of the individuals that are in this situation. The back story isn't going to be offered because I guarantee this is a progressive cascading series of events. There was no punishment for activity before. It continues and escalates to the point where we get to what we just saw here. Because the individual repeatedly, there are rules, but the rules do not apply to black people. That's just the way that the propaganda has been set up. And not only that, but that you can press the envelope in a situation like this individual did for the purpose of creating confrontation and doing the, woe is me, I'm a victim. It's the total drama queen scam that we've seen for Nion. I'm 68, I've seen it all my life. Now, now, Mark, nobody... Everybody believes in this new... Go ahead. Now I'm like, you know, he was a good student. He was on the honor roll. Now, now we can't be discriminated against it. They're gonna show a picture of him with like a high school thing that says that he was in the honor roll and stuff like that. That could do with his... He was angelic. Right, he was angelic. He was like no other individual. There's no reason to be picking on that poor man, that poor boy. Well, can't say boy because he's black. If it were any other kid, you'd say that poor boy. But you can't say that with this individual because he's black. Otherwise, the black person will break up, pull out a knife, and stab you for saying that he's a boy, even though he first of all would point out he's not a girl. But then it'd be like, well, no matter what, it's going to be offensive. No matter what, there's nothing you can say that's correct. The only thing is Tex-Mex is pointing out that this can escalate very easily. So yes, it is another option. There'll be money gasoline put on this fire. There already is. So there's going to be more gasoline put on that fire to try and escalate the situation. They want the ring knockers and the amical wares want violent confrontation. Now, I'm not saying to shirk it. Somebody comes down the road looking to cause trouble. We're going to end it. And we understand the manipulation, the manipulative processes that all these creatures are involved in. And so it does make sense, as Tex-Mek said, that hey, Texas is likely as not to be the kickoff, the place where a more expanded confrontation as the season progresses takes place. So we all need to be ready for that. And again, Prior Proper Planning prevents piss poor performance. Have a plan in place to deal with whatever it is that might develop. Most important is know where your family members are and make sure that you've got a system of defense set up because you're going to need it. Go ahead. Well, they say if he feels like a woman, well, he is a woman today. You know, you know. Well, in this case, this character is a young black individual. Again, the social media reinforces all the rest of the dribble that led to this. And I don't think it's going to get worse progressively because it will be part of the formula to create conflict on American soil. My problem is, is it likely it's not, it's the people that are behind Trump, the Israelis slash Netanyahu, and the click that wants a bigger police state, just as likely as it is the other kosher mafia element that want their form of police state. First they need to regain power, and to do that they're going to have to create confrontation non-stop through the election processes, etc., right up to the next one, and then go from there. So, yeah, this is one of those situations you need to keep an eye on. You need to pay attention all around you, people you've got to stay awake. The other thing is, remember that from whatever perspective, the Communists the black power movement will, you know, they can do no wrong. You're guilty no matter what. You're not even guilty of anything that's the main difference where you defend if you actually have defended yourself or been in a confrontational situation. Eventually you'll have your epiphany because you will experience it and you'll realize it's the same scam over and over again. The drama queens work in the Jewish element and the black element in the exact same way and where the blacks learned all of this scam is from the Jewish Mafia, from the Jewish characters. If you ever watch the Jewish antagonist when they create a problem, the moment they kick in, they push people to the point where they're pissed, and of course they expect everybody to step in. And then when you step in, oh, then they become hyper-arrogant And they'll start flapping their little chihuahua mouth again because there are people with muscles standing between everybody. So they figure now they've got a wall of meat that they can use and so they can keep barking whatever filth was coming from their face. And they'll continue with the confrontation under the logic that you're going to stand there and get in the way. There's several times where we've done with people I've been standing with there when that's happened, where we all learn when the barking chihuahua starts in again. We got Craig from Group Nautilus coming up next. We got Bluff from Republic. We shall prevail. We'll be back at 8 o'clock evening at 7 o'clock. Nothing I can do. Each thread is tested and true. All the knots are woven by hand. And on each rope, there will be an aim of one who has betrayed his land. Our leaders have forgotten the oath that they took when they swore to protect and preserve. Our freedom and rights and religion too, in whatever church we serve. They lined all their pockets and deceived the people and most went along with the flow. But tempers are short and the memories are long. Each name the people will know. When each rope is finished, it's tested for strength and packed in a bag with a hood. And upon the bag is the name of a traitor. who did his country no good. Someday we will hear that Nuremberg plea when the hour is drawing near. I was only doing what I was told, another lie, I fear. And for those of you who don't believe, be around when the party begins. What next will be stretched and cries will be heard and the traitors will sway in the wind. 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 use 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 given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and simply farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn holds they've sworn. And your daughters send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? Most sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution. The Supreme Law of plan. Preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God as I awoke he vanished in the midst of which words were true. Not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. Stood by your bedside to scream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. And gentlemen, this is the third hour of the Intelligence Report. Hi Mark Kornke. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories East West North and Northwest Ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. We're on WBCQ, the planet, 6.160 regular shortwave. That's WBCQ, the planet, 6.160 regular shortwave, Monday through Friday, 8 to 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. We're also on satellite. I want to say hi to all of our operators there. Too numerous to mention and greatly appreciated because you're doing all that work with your own resources and time. Thank you. And this is all over the planet. We are everywhere between all of our different broadcasting technologies. But of course, analog and digital for satellite and we're in a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. Again, I want to say hi to our friends in Slovakia, which are continuing to expand on broadcasting there. So we want to say thank you. And I couldn't do it without you there. I mean, we're over here on the other side of the big puddle and watching from a distance, listening from a distance, actually. It is Wednesday. It's Weapons Wednesday. It is the 7th of May. This is the 17th year of Open Obvious. So the humor face. Fabian socialist. and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K2025 old earth calendar, 2025 battle for the Republic Book 3, a dark anniversary. And it has been a beautiful day today. Solar should be, everything's off the meters here, I mean, cooking. We are squared away. And what's really cool is that most of the solar runs from sunset to So, again, it's taken a lot of research. I've been patient. Things that work, we pay attention to and we take advantage of. Things that don't work, well, we tried. And so we don't throw them away. Try to resurrect equipment in every way you can so that we continue to utilize it. Remember, if all else fails, components for something else. Never throw away a tiny little solar panel. It's awfully useful and you can bank them. You can actually stack them. So just something to think about there. You may not know how to do it right now, but down the road it might be a tad more important for you. So just make a little bucket up. If I get on a pail and put the stuff in there that fails when you have yard lights and such, and draw from it later when the time comes. Somebody may teach you a few lessons. You'll be amazed at what you can do. It's very, very, not just possible, but probable. Being Weapons Wednesday, I will repeat what I said during the tour block. If you have an AK, a 7.62x39 AK, AKM, AKS, whatever variant on the theme, CHI-COM defense rifles, etc., etc., or an SKS, of whatever model, You need to purchase more ammunition. I can't stress that enough. With what's coming, and the writing is on the wall from several directions, and the Ringknockers have been doing most of the pot stirring. It's not really coming out of this regime. It's characters that are manipulating this regime, and they're from another part of the planet, and they're doing all kinds of wickedness right now. So we need to be ready for that. A lot of people out there inherited SKS as an AK. It may not be what you first chose, you didn't buy it, but you like it. I cannot emphasize enough, and I will repeat, buy more ammo. Number one, 76 QX39 is still very commonly used out there. It is easily available over the counter. Focus on least expensive ball ammunition. Your SKS or your AK, whatever you've got. was built to live, to feed off of standard ball ammunition all day. That's the benchmark bottom line for the rifle. Use it. In fact, that's what you should be focusing on because that's what's going to keep you alive. So whatever you can invest week to week, you need to come up with a schedule and then you need to commit to that schedule and don't stop. Because the weapons fantastic. The SKS or the AK are exceptionally fine weapons. The big thing is whether or not you're going to have the parts, pieces, and assemblies and the ammunition to keep it running. So hopefully we've given you enough solutions and places to go so that you can acquire what you need. But put a schedule together every week. Buy some 7.62x39. It doesn't even have to be anything but a couple boxes. Preferably a case, but oh well, maybe you can't afford that. Just keep putting the ammunition away. Your rifle is important, it is reliable, it is a significant part of our national defense, and so you are the primary supplier for that weapon system that you've committed to. Let's make sure it continues to function and function like a singer sewing machine. To do that, it needs to be fed. And you guys are the ones going to have to make it happen. A couple of deal places, keep an eye on Atlantic firearms. I haven't mentioned them as much recently, but Atlantic firearms seems to have a good tap on Yugoslavian surplus. And every once in a while, they snag another pile of 7.62x39 on stripper clips it will be corrosive it will be corrosive that's corrosive even if they say it's not I wouldn't trust it I'm not saying it's bad ammo I'm saying I would clean my weapon simply because the UGOs have been building and stockpiling and building and stockpiling and piling more and stockpiling more and they have a lot of inventory the Serbs, deep in a lot of places. You've seen images of some of the ideas of how this is with the inventory under the ground in Ukraine. Remember the salt mine that they went down into and there's just vast, you know, far as the eye can see off into the depths and darkness, crate after crate after case after crate after pile after pile after crate almost nicely stacked. SKS's, AK's or ammunition. 760 by 39. So that is an example of what you actually do have in other parts of the world, in fact right there in that eastern European region. There's a lot of stuff that quietly was and intentionally was not accounted for. And that's what they keep tapping. Now that bathtub is going to get empty eventually, but right now the stuff's still popping up. So you want to keep an eye on Atlantic firearms, look to see what their price is. One cool thing if you have the SKS, is that the ammunition they traditionally have been getting has been stripper clip. 10 round military stripper clips. Very good, very high quality, very well built, and definitely something you want if you have an SKS. If you have an AK, you want to get some stripper clip guides. The Chinese ones are still out there. There's a lot of them. And that allows you to be able to use those 10 round stripper clips to load your 30 round magazines. In fact, three of those, krk, and krk, and krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, krk, k So, that definitely is a priority. And again, Atlantic is one location. Keep an eye on classic firearms also. They, what I can see over the decades, they seem to tap into the same jobber or wholesaler for certain things and one of them is ammo. So, if the SKS ammo shows up for one, it may show up at another. If they run out, the other one might have it. Classic firearms. Classic firearms. Been around a long time. Used to have at least a three or four page spread in the shotgun news and they had a little Roman character up at the top of the page. The Roman centurion, but he's holding an AK-47. Anybody remember that artwork? It's really cool, line work. Artwork is really well done. But it's a little cartoon character. And if you're on the computer, touch that Roman with the computer cursor. And you'll notice he changes direction. Huh? You ever done that? Go to Classic Firearms. When you get to their page, if they still have Little Roman there, I don't know if they do. But if they do, keep an eye out. Upper right hand corner and or left. Touch him with the cursor and he changes direction. Actually, I had a little subroutine for that. It's kind of neat. And that's classicfirearms.com. Now I also would say that if you have an SKS or AK, or if you have an AK74, the 545 by 39 variant, all of you should be picking up reloading technology and getting into being able to reload that ammunition. One good thing about the SKS and the AK, it's incredibly forgiving by the nature of the design of the case that is the chambering for both those rifles. And for that reason, you can be a little cruder in reloading, it wouldn't be, but you could be a little cruder in all directions. and the weapon is still going to feed the round. It's by nature the way that they built it based on the idea that, well, slaves were producing the ammunition for the Warsaw Pact, and so crude, rude, and rather obnoxious was the norm, not the exception, and the stuff still worked. And it's the nature of the design, the cant of the body of the case. Like everything, there's a specific taper, which allows for wear into operation for every aspect and the ammunition is part of that too. It has a radical pitch by comparison to many other cases. It's not extreme, but it is to a degree radical by other standards. So that it would easily break contact because the Russians knew they were going to be using steel case ammunition. Now you can reload any ammunition that's out there. Any, Verdame Prime can be reloaded. We've done it for decades. We don't have, we can reconfigure it too. Boxer primed if we want to there are per damn primers out there But I don't know what the availability is at this particular moment in time. I don't know that it's all that great so again logic would dictate whoops logic would dictate that you go with the you know reboring and Reconfiguring the primer pocket so that will fit whichever small rifle or large rifle primer It's closest to so just ahead long there Go ahead, call or jump in there. This is Paul again. I have a tool from Sharp Shooter, LLC. It's a tool that makes turns a bird and prime cased primer pocket, the large rifle, into a boxer type primer. Yes, very good. What's it like? Give out the location a couple of times again for everybody, please. I think it's Sharpshooter LLC. It's the same company that sells a 22-long rifle reloader. Very good. Well, go ahead and again give it out a couple times, speak clearly so that the listeners can write it down. I'm sure it's called... You went into warble mode. All of a sudden you're disconnected. Just type in 22-long rifle reloader. It should take you there. I think it's called Shark Shooter 22, device for long life, or reloader dot com or something. You'll find it. Very good. Well again, the important thing is that... Is that fine, Mark? That time I think you went through. You should be... everybody should have heard you. That's good. The big thing about this... Right, right, right. ...is again these... Uh oh. Well hopefully you can hear me. Oh yes, my hand may have been covering the mic a little bit. Well that makes a difference. I had a bit of a problem. Okay, you can hear me now. I think we can now, yes. Very good. One of the things about this, that's one of the tools that would definitely be a priority. There are a couple of companies that have produced boring tools like that. They do two things. Number one, they run the boxer channel through the center because you don't need the anvil that will tip. It's in the middle of the primer hole, the primer pocket area. and also bores out to just under the dimension of a standard primer, like I said, either small rifle or large rifle, depending on what primer the Warsaw Pact used for their particular ammo. Because there's been all kinds of stuff. There's even one that we can't do anything with, it's a pan primer, actually quite large. Now it's guaranteed it'll go off, it's pretty big, but it's unlike anything anybody else has, sadly enough. There's a little bit of that ammo out there, but not much anymore. So, most of it, if that tool is available, if I had an SKS, an AK, and I'm going to reload, I would be grabbing one of those tools because any and all cases should be resurrected for reloading. And it's not difficult to do. Reloading isn't that hard. You can handle it. It's simple mathematics. It's all there is to it, and then maintaining quality control. and all of you out there can handle that. Don't let anybody talk into the idea you can't. We've been steel-cased ones, I'm pretty sure you can do it with. Absolutely, that's what I said. The steel case, all of these cases can be resurrected, all of them. In fact, well, think about it, if you run out of everything, whatever you've got, you better figure out how to make it work. Always remember that. Now the other thing here too is There's another type of shell casing out there. It's a blazer. It's made out of aluminum. I don't know about that. What do you think? Blazers can be reworked too. In fact, I know a lot of people who have done some really strange things, again, for reloading. The first rule with blazer is pay attention. If it's been outside, it is a biodegradable case. You'll notice if you go to certain ranges where a lot of brass is piled up or a lot of empty cases like out in the country that if you look you'll notice that yeah, the old brass cases sit there, they turn color. Steel case, they might rust. Then again, they sometimes don't. But the blazer ammunition, if it's the bi-metal, it will actually break down while it's in the environment and it'll oxidize and literally melt. It will break down. Now, as long as it hasn't started that process, if you pick the stuff up when you see it and it's fresh or relatively fresh, that could be reloaded, but I would reload it to either standard spec or even, as I've said many times, if you look at your reloading scale, you can back down the scale a little bit. Now, what this is going to do is reduce cup pressure. and allow for the round to be more manageable and less likely to be an issue. You can reload them to Boxer Prime. You could use the reloading tool you were talking about, but I know people have actually just used a standard, put the case through a standard press and it literally the, because the bi-metal is so soft, you can punch out the Boxer channel with the de-priming pin. goes through the anvil and pushes out the primer and you're done. Now I will point out that whenever you're doing something like this you still are going to want to be very careful, but no matter what brass you're working with you have what is basically a primer pocket reamer. Invest in those different sizes for the different types of pistol and rifle and that helps to dress that primer channel up before you reload. It brings it to proper spec and it doesn't make it too sloppy, hopefully, but it also prevents it from being a little too tight and the case wanting to scrunch and crunch at the head and not necessarily feet properly into the primer pocket. You'll have a little bit of a bulge and because again the metal is being squeezed together, it's resisting all the way around the circumference of the body of the primer. So little things to watch out for. Again, I would use, save everything. Down the road, you're going to have to use everything. It's that simple. I take one gallon, you can take one gallon milk jugs. I collect all of the largemouth kitty litter jugs that are out there. They're perfect for doing brass. And what you can do is separate them by brass, steel case, you can separate them by pistol, rifle, shotgun. And they're great for handling cases when you want to store them in bulk and keep moisture out of them. You know, seal the lid. They've got a screw cap. The cap is oversized. It makes it easier to load the stuff in. Also makes it easy to dump the stuff out. And it's a nice storage system because it has square sides so you can stack it however you want to. Which is kind of cool. Should say have flat sides. My god, it's not really square. Kind of rounded out of the corners, I know. But it is a solution. And again, if you have any of the unique calibers, there's a lot of other stuff out there that's American civilian that's just as unique as many of the foreign calibers that everybody's been shooting. Some rounds were used to be very, very, very, very popular and very common. They're still out there, the rifles are, or the pistols, but the ammunition is not as readily available as it was in the past. And it's interesting, I would note something, I have not seen, everybody's seen these Henrys and Marlin rifles coming back into service. Here's a question. Has anybody seen them chambered in 35 Remington? Because that was the, for the Marlin lever gun, the 35 Remington was a specific solution for that gun to offer a really good thud puppy of a round. And the neat thing is that it made for reloading for a good saddle carbine and rifle, pistol combination because Well, you could use the same cartridge. You could use the same bullets in the 35 Remington that you use in your .357 Magnum pistol. And that's why it was very, very popular for a very long time. A lot of guys I know used to use a Ruger. Yeah, we have their sidearm and whatever, the Speed 6, Security 6. And then they carry a 35 Remington round. in the lever action in the Marlin and it worked really quite nicely. The biggest problem is that the ammunition is not out there like it was. It used to be a standard sale, what we used to call the sale six calibers. 3030, 35 Remington, and then the others changed back and forth. 243, 270. And then there was usually an odd flip cartridge as the decades went by that was something that was common but had become more popular. So it was the sale choice cartridge being built by the ammunition companies during the season, during the deer season. So I haven't seen 35 Remington being offered in those Marlin guns, but it should be. It's just that, again, because of the number of rifles out there, if they could resurrect interest in it, then all the rest of those guns would have life breathed into them because they'd be more affordable to shoot. But as it is, if you have any of those guns, they're good firearms, but you need to collect ammunition. And I would go so far as to say what I said in the 2-hour block. If it's a choice between buying another rifle and you have an SKS or an AK or an AK-74 and 545 by 39 or maybe that 35 Remington, If that's what you've committed to, you need to buy more ammo, even though we're buying another complete rifle. Here's the neat thing about the AR-15. You don't have to buy the complete rifle. You can buy parts every week, and if you pay attention to all the sales that we keep bringing up, the ridiculously cheap, some of this stuff, then you can part an AR-15 together over weeks or months, and it wouldn't bite you in the wallet so much. But it's more important that if you have that SKS or you have that AK, you need a couple thousand rounds on the shelf. And I'm not exaggerating. If you're listening and you have an SKS, you need a couple thousand rounds on the shelf. Now however long it takes to collect that, that's fine. But you need to have a schedule for purchase because the rifle you have is an excellent firearm. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I'd hug you if you threw one to me, okay? I don't care what it is. The important thing is that we have the ammunition to support it for at least the intermediate hall, preferably the long hall, which is where we get into new manufacture and reloading for ammunition, which we are and have been working on for quite some time. Anyway, so again, ideas, not just complaining about the problems. Oh, it's so terrible. I am wetting my hair. I'm feeling so bad. Oh, hey, we don't do that here. Again, come up with a solution to help people out. Go ahead, jump in their corner. The 35 wheel, and that's not the... that's a different round from 35 Rimmelstein, right? That's a different round with the same idea. That's all they've done. When you see 3.5, it's like all these 4.5.0 calibers, like in the ARs, you've got, you know, like 450 Bushmaster. It's 45 caliber. Anything that's 3.5 is 3.57. It's a 357 diameter bore. They may give it, you know, if they've done this with cartridges for years, they've given them nomenclature to identify them, but it doesn't really match what they are, okay, what they really are. So any of these, well any, like if it's a 3.5, they're feeding off the 357 caliber diameter bullets that have been out there forever and you've got a wide spectrum of them especially because of 357 Magnum and 357 UltraMag. So that's it is a different round but it's the same idea. They may have given it a little bite. Right there's more of a bite but it's still the 357 what they're doing is feeding off that bullet inventory which goes up to a pretty heavy series of bullets. In 357 diameter, I can get 220 grains and that's hefty for a 30-06. I used to use 200 grain for a hunt. I have used 200 grain for hunting for almost all my life on a 30-06. So a 357 diameter bullet in 220 grain is pretty hefty slug. Now, I got to understand something. With the gun, the 35 Remington, though it was certainly used in bolt-action guns, let's remember that it was the whole idea behind that cartridge is to operate in a lever action which has a tubular magazine. Whereas the newer cartridges are all being adopted either A, to work off of the standard bolt platforms, or the AR-10 or AR-15. So they have a magazine feed. But remember that the 35 Remington was brought into the existence mostly, not solely, but mostly to accommodate and come up with a little heftier round in a standard lever gun. And that because you're limited there too by the nature of that action. You don't have the same strength as you do with other firearms. So again, there's only so much you can do with any of the lever guns. And that's why you'll notice they went over into the 4570 case for a lot of the Marlins and the new Henrys. And of course they're also $1200 apiece, let's not forget that, as opposed to being a $100 rifle at Kmart or Sears back in the day. You ever hear of this cartridge before? 7mm shooting times westerner. You ever hear of that one? There's a lot of 7mm wildcat types and that's probably in that category. It's so unique. It's out there but it's one of those that... It's like many of the different, especially in 7mm, there are many wildcat 7mm rounds that have come and gone. Most of them kind of reinvent the wheel, but they do use different common cases for the base work. And that's usually what happens. A new case becomes popular, so it's cheap, there's lots of it, and then somebody goes, well, I can make that into a fill in the blank. And in this case, you might neck down a 308 to 7mm, or you could neck down a or well, throw out a, yeah, you can throw it out a .223, a 5.56 case, or you can even re-neck a 7.62x39 case. But the reason that most of those were ever done is because they're feeding off, number one, common bullets that were cheap. And everybody asked why, .338 Lapua, which comes from .338 Winchester. Now because of the case, But because of the billions of bullets that were laying on the shelf when they were developing 338 Lapua. And 338 Winchester was a big, capable elephant, you know, elephant gun. And 338 Lapua is the same thing. It has the same category of performance. It's just different cartridges used for the same mission. Let's do this. Same mission. We're past the bottom of the hour. We are. It's Weapons Wednesday. And at the bottom of the hour, Edward has his finger on the trigger. And... Alright, thank you Edward, we are back. You're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org, and we're on WBCQ, the planet, 6.160 regular shortwave. That's Monday through Friday, 8 to 9 PM Eastern Standard Time. We're here every night, 8 o'clock, and hopefully all you people out there across the planet are waving back. If you want to, you can send me a card. at PDN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PDN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And so for everybody out there, take the time if you could, pick out a card, go to your local pharmacy, Pick out a card that represents your community. I don't need to have your address. It's just what we do is when you send us a card, we put it up on the studio window around the perimeter. We've been doing this for 30 years. And it goes up in the studio or goes in one of the other studio walls. And that way, we've got a little thing to remind us of all the friends we have out there, little memento. And you are the one that provided it. Again, don't need any other information. Just say hi. Pick out something that's neat that represents your community and the area where you live. And the rest is history, as they say. Now, last but not least, we're going to have a little fun. And one more song, Ed, and for everybody out there, totally irrelevant. Well, not completely, because they probably have a Second Amendment in space. But Ed, if you could, the original Dawson's Christian. And amazingly enough, somebody had found the cassette. One of the cassettes that had the original collection on it and it is posted on YouTube for everybody out there if you're looking for the music we're talking about and there's an entire album and there are two individuals male author and then there's the female which is Leslie Fish and so back and forth they went with the construction of the album and this particular song Dawson's Christian has been done by many people as a cover and And it's Filk music, not folk music, Filk. Future history past. Think about it that way. A lot of cool stuff generated. Go ahead and call it real quick because it's tune up music. After the music, after this song, I was hoping you'd play that foreigner tune, Duke Box Hero, the 7th version. Well, we're just gonna do this one for tonight. We'll get it in there. No, but not tonight. Okay. They found a scene, no sane man could believe They played trees like cruisers, nets or ribbons all around Could be found, and then the lady at his side My spirit's more because I know it's true than disproved You can't watch a fed-up uneventful flight When the pirate ships appear out of the night No question for they had a sport You can't fight dirty pirates when your crater has no gun So a ship could fly the way this ranger flew First like a tiger to its Ghosts that saved us, a whole ship full of ghosts. And they made ghosts of them, didn't they? Ah, yes, they did. Again, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, little, It's pretty good work. By the way, if you've ever seen the guitar work on that, it's interesting to watch. The background is a lot faster. It's not quite, let's just say, mandolin-ish is the way I would describe it. If my dad could play the mandolin, my fingers are too stinking big. Doesn't mean I probably couldn't have, but I'm too old now. My father could play the mandolin, and it always fascinated me because of the sound he could pull from that instrument. So again Dawson's Christian is the name of the song and it's over there on YouTube if you're looking for it and it is Weapons Wednesday a couple other things I wanted to touch on real quick Number one. I mentioned this during the tour block if you want to just put a rifle together fast and they are Here's the thing they have been creeping. There's been a few few dollar jump in things There were quite a bit cheaper in January. It has nothing to do with the imports or the tariffs or anything like that. It has to do with availability and the fact that there was an inventory pulse plus you had the January, February doldrums which always traditionally took place after Christmas but for a change the actual economic cycle was as it normally would be. So back in February, January, February, and I told you to buy those parts that were even cheaper than anything we see now. That was the window to take advantage of. There are still great sales and deals, but you have to cherry pick and you have to be patient. You have to kind of roll the dice because you have to make a choice. Is that what I want? Do I want to go with that one or not? Simply because of the price. And maybe you'll get a little better at some other point down the road, but right now that's the best price I've seen. Grab it and don't cry about it later. However, if you just want to put a rifle together, you don't want to have to worry about parts, pieces, or assembling, then if you go to PalmettoStateArmory.com, PalmettoStateArmory.com, PalmettoStateArmory.com, as of today still, I checked, they have the BLAM PSA Complete Classic Air 15 lower in black, of course, $99.99. I'm going to throw a penny in there and tell you it's $100, okay? Now, that's at Palmetto State Army. Then if you go over to Bear Creek Arsenal dot com, Bear Creek Arsenal dot com, Bear Creek Arsenal dot com, Bear Creek Arsenal dot com. They have a number, I'd say 14 or 15, 16 inch barrel variants, every combination you can imagine. Side charging handle, standard charging, no charging handle. Carving link gas system or medium gas link system. medium-length gas system. Mark will get it right eventually, right? Anyway, for about $199, so that's, throw a penny on that one, because it's $199.99. God, why did he do that? It's $200. Now that is an okay price, but again, the reason I bring it up is because you go to two locations. You've got a bolt carrier charging candle in the upper with Bear Creek, and you go by the complete lower. You still need some optics, and you're still going to need magazines and ammunition obviously, but that's a given for any of the weapons you buy. But if you're concerned because you don't think you want to put a rifle together, then that's a solution. But if you cherry pick from CDN and Sports CenterfireSystems.com Palmetto State Armory, Bear Creek Arsenal, AR-15 discounts, Montana AR-15, Renier Arms, Between all of those, you can put a weapon together for less and mostly assembled, mostly. Again, 80%, there's a couple of the sites that have combos with everything for the lower plus some upper parts and an 80% receiver for around $110. Now, that 80% block receiver is typically anodized. I don't care whether it's forged or if it's billet. whichever one is cheaper for the moment. But that is a very inexpensive solution and something you should take a look at because again, yeah, you do need to work out a little expertise. If you feel you can handle a few tools or if you've already got the 80% jigs, congratulations, there's a solution. But otherwise, even if you cherry-click, you probably could find or knock down $10 or $15 off of the upper assembly if you really were studious. But that's an off-the-shelf price where I just quick said, okay, I want to find a least expensive rifle package. What can I do? PalmettoStateArmory.com for the lower complete. Blam. I don't care about Blam. You can hardly ever find where the Blam is. But the lowers or uppers that are like that work just fine. And then Bear Creek Arsenal and select something to have on the shelf. Yes, somebody say, well, Mark, they have cheaper uppers, but they're shorter barrels. I know. And you don't want to put a pistol barrel on a rifle lower. OK, you can have one of those things for down the road, but don't keep it with any of your weapons. Don't keep it even on your property. Store it somewhere else. Bury it. Because yes, you can buy, I didn't even mention, there are pistol length barrels for 556 for 149 over at Bear Creek. But there are pistol length barrels, and you don't need that SBR garbage at all. short barrel rifle. You don't need that. We're not going to piss with it in any way, shape or form. Why? A 16 inch barrel would do just fine. And again, it doesn't mean you can't buy one. I can't stop you from doing that. But if you do buy one, I'm going to tell you, don't say somebody didn't tell you. Do not store a pistol length barrel upper receiver for an AR-15 with any of your rifles. It needs to be off the property. It needs to be completely away from everything that you own. until the time comes when you want to use it. Then you can pop, pop, pop, push the pins out, push the pins back in, and make your gun whatever you want, because we're at war. Okay, when you're at war, then it's pretty much irrelevant worrying about any of the other problems, okay? But there are other places to go. We've got to call her. Who do we have? Go ahead. I was talking about something called a 7mm STW. That came out in like 93, 94 and basically it was just a longer cartridge length and you could get about 25 more yards out of the 7mm bullet at any respective weight. But the problem is, and this is what people are not getting, is that when you have the speed of a bullet that comes out of the bore that's over 3000 feet per second. What you do is you cut the life of the rifle barrel from 5,000 rounds down to 500 rounds. And I know this is a fact because a lot of people that brought the 300 Remington Ultra Magnum, it's a great caliber and it's fatter and it pushes that 300 wind mag bullet slightly within the 300 wind mag. But your rifle barrel life is only like 400 rounds. And that's the tops. So unless you have a box full of barrels, you shouldn't be buying that. There's no reason why they made the 30 out of 6. And it's because it will last about 180 grains at 2700 feet per second. It's going to last about 8,000 rounds. And this is why when you go to a pawn shop and you see a bolt-action Remington 700 on the shelf, you run the serial number. It could have been made back in the 50s or 60s because it's only had like 200 or 300 rounds through it the most. It may be deep to hell, but if you take it out on the range and it shoots well, you know, you can maybe spend some money and put a glass bed in it and a decent amount, a decent scope. And why would you want anything else? Right, well real quick. Okay, hold on just a second. Don't go away from the Remington because you see Remington when they came out when everybody was into the Magnum fight, what happened is, this is why the pre-64s are even more valuable, Remington when they came out with the 700 series actually started out with a stainless steel barrel. First one had ever really been put on a big manufacturer's gun. And what's interesting is it was a micro-group. They took all the experience they had building the 1903 A3 barrels and they applied it and they came up with this phenomenally accurate barrel. It was tight. I mean, it was out of the box. It would beat everybody. But, something you pointed out, what happened is they committed it to the 7mm Remington Magnum load. And unfortunately what this meant is that very quickly they didn't take into consideration metallurgy with regard to cup pressures, ballistic wear because of velocity. And so they actually, most of those guns were barrel changed from the stainless steel. Remington allowed you to send the weapon back in and they switched out to a standard carbon, a higher grade carbon steel barrel. And if you find one with a, if you find a Model 700, probably it'll be a pre-64, with a stainless steel barrel, don't do anything to it and don't shoot it. It's worth more as a complete rifle because so many were converted that you can buy a whole pile of AR-15s with that gun. Don't forget that. So thank you for bringing up. That's one of those grandpa gun things where, well, grandpa had this in the closet since about, well, last time, 100 was in 68. When did he get that? And of course, you run the serial numbers. And the gun, if it's original barrel, it is worth a big chunk of change because it's hard to find one that has the original barrel. It probably isn't shot out because it is a grandpa gun. for that reason. You know, Grandpa only, he wasn't shooting, you know, non-stop going after Elk to see how many he could stack up. He went out and shot Bambi once a year and he, like you said, maybe put a box of ammo through it and that's it. And it's still a good gun, but here's the thing. You could take it, since it's not an heirloom for your family, and turn it around for some major money and buy a whole lot of other really cool toys you like. So, good point there. And again, go ahead. You remember when they came out with that unbelievable cartridge? I couldn't even believe they did it. But I think people just wanted to brag more about themselves if they had one as opposed to just shooting it. Remember when a Weatherby came out with the, they took the 378 Weatherby Magnum, neck it down to a 30 caliber bullet, and they were pushing a hundred and eighty grains at almost 4,000 feet per second. WTF are you going to do with something like that? You know what I mean? And when you start pushing at those speeds, I don't care what anybody says, your accuracy starts to get affected. It just seems that the only thing really worth pushing at those speeds is a 22-250. But even with that, you're looking at a barrel life of maybe a thousand rounds. So, just stick to the basics. Stick to, you know, they got these, you know, six-five calibers out there now, and, you know, they're decent. But, I mean, if you can buy, you know, something that's comfortable to shoot, and it doesn't burn out the barrel, which a prime example would be the 270, it's still cheap. And you can, you can, you can, you know, with the amount of money you're going to pay on, magazines and optics and all kinds of accoutrements for an AR-15, you can have a bolt-action 270 and put a decent piece of glass on it, or even with the money you saved, you can put a thermal scope on it. And you can be someone that, you know, would be holding things down. So, and as far as like, you know, the kind of stuff that, you know, we're talking about is to have something small. light, but have some range. That's why they made the Mosin-McGahn. And you know what has about the same ballistics as the Mosin-McGahn is the 35 Remington. And if you've got to have a red dot, these people are putting a red dot on the web reactions and you're not embarrassed to go outside. So, you know, I mean, if you don't have the money for magazines, but you still want to get something and have 2,000 rounds, I wouldn't be ashamed to say, that if somebody says to me, what kind of setup do you have? Well, I've got a 270. I wouldn't be ashamed to say that. I wouldn't even be ashamed to say I've got a 35 Remington. Because you know what? A 35 Remington out to a couple hundred yards to me. If I thought I was going to get involved in something, I would rather have the 35 Remington than the 556 because it's a superior route. And even that being said, with the 35 Remington, it's more likely that you can have one shot and two kills as opposed to doing it with a 5.56. So, yeah, and you're traveling a whole lot lighter. You can carry, and I've said this on your show before, you have an Alice Belt set up with the saw pouches on each side. You can carry boxes and boxes of ammunition and have everything else you need in a backpack. That's absolutely more expensive these days. But, I mean, I wouldn't be ashamed to have a lever action like that. 35 Remington with a red dot on top. You're fine. Well, you know, most of the lever actions fit into the Scout, exactly what they look like. Scout rifle designs, the Scout rifle issue, and one of the things about most of the calibers, they're what we used to be called the brush category. But again, what were they capable of? 220 to 250 yards comfortably and the 35 Remington will reach a lot farther than that. I know guys who have shot Bambi in the upper part of the state and made 400 yard shots with the 35 Remington. So, let me ask you this. What would you rather shoot, a 35 Remington in rubber action or a 45-70 in rubber action? I'd rather shoot the 35 Remington all day long if I had to because as a whole, it's probably much exponentially less as far as recoil goes and you can shoot it again and again and again without, you know, giving up. Right, it's a whole argument about, again, endurance and performance because, again, the weapon will be physically wearing on the operator. That's something that was the big argument about the air, 15 versus the M14, except that it really didn't apply, they just used it as an excuse. But with many of the civilian arms, well, any of the original cartridges from the pre-1900 period, remember, can be dropped down to a lower velocity and still end up with reasonable performance out to range. They took weight to compensate for velocity to begin with. They just literally built the sights to match the distance
