Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, east, south, and south. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. libertytreeradio.org and we're on satellite. I want to say hi to all our merchantry operators out there, no matter what body of water you are operating on right now, and God bless you. Appreciate you doing the part, rebroadcasting Liberty Tree Radio in whatever venue you choose. And we again greatly appreciate the work that you guys have been doing for now a lot longer than I realized. So again, thank you. We're also a myriad, a plethora, a bouquet of other communications technologies both inside and outside. These United States it is Friday. It does not seem like Friday. I swear Thursday should be another full 48 hours with the way things have been, especially yesterday. But it is Friday, it is CODEMO Day and Quartermaster Friday. It's the 10th of May, 16th year of open, obvious, sitting your face. Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist, occupation of America with a K2024, old earth calendar, 2024, battle for the republic. The Dance of Swords, which is book one. So for everybody, again, beautiful day. You could not have asked for a more perfect day to get outside, get stuff done. Ran into some great tool solutions today. There's always something on a Friday in the yard sale or a state sale. And yep, there were. And oh my goodness. I've got more work for myself. Every time I get new tools, first thing I do is you go through everything, look for anything that might be a dot spot or a questionable point where it might start oxidation, and you get rid of it. Number two is everything gets lubricated with a permanent lubricant that's going to stay with what you are using. I like to use PLS, but it's gotten a little expensive. There's a couple of other lubricants out there. One that's a little less expensive. It's a fluid film. Runs about anywhere from $9 to $12 a can. Powerful rust and corrosion protectant. Protects all metals. Lanolin base. Superior lubricant. No solvents. Long lasting. Non-toxic. Non-hazardous. This stuff sticks well. And it's been around since 1943. World War II. The interesting thing about this is it is in the same family line as the PLS mid-grade products for coating metals or for sealing crystalline structure. And I use this on all of the tools that are in the auxiliary or in the vehicle tool boxes so that when they're sitting, they're not going to break down right away. The cool thing is even if the stuff slopped off, it's inside the tool box, which it's not going to do very easily. Even with heat, This stuff bonds really well. If it gets a little warm, sunny, whatever. And you can actually, a lot of guys are using this under the vehicles, spraying all of the working parts and nuts, bolts, and screws so that there's no rust down. And in Michigan, we have a big problem with that. One of our guys has a bunch of Colorado trucks like we have our Texas trucks. And religiously, before the season begins for these salts slinging in Michigan, acid for blood, he coats the whole bottom side of his vehicle. So he's doing that for a decade that I know of. And another person, well, actually one of our other friends uses oil, crankcase oil, saves all the crankcase oil up. He doesn't use it for fire or anything else. He gets his kids, crawl up under there. Of course, they're getting bigger now. He probably gets his grandkids. But gets up there first thing at the end of the fall season, or I should say now mid-fall, and paints the entire undercarriage with motor oil. Everything gets a generous coating of motor oil and puts cardboard under everything. Anything that drips down, rolls the cardboard up. puts that over into the toolbox furnace and for the shop and everything gets used up. Nothing goes to waste, doesn't make a mess. But the lubricant helps to push back on the high salt content issues we have if you're going to use your vehicle 365 days out of the year on a Michigan highway or road. Just how it is and you need to think ahead. Another interesting thing with the, again, watch, keep an eye out. I've got a bunch of canteen cups today, just an accident thing. Same place I got the tools. And also some phenomenal historical stuff, a whole bunch. I've been running into, of course, a lot of bicentennial stuff. People from that window of time are passing away or their states are popping up. They're going into whatever retirement. And I got some phenomenal pristine coffee mugs and such with impressed steel, well steel, but bronzed medallions for the Patriot years, you know, 1976 to 1976, really cool. And one of a kind, most people aren't thinking about it because they've been living with it or grown up with it, so stuff gets tossed and it's actually worth a little bit of money. I don't plan on getting rid of it because I'm planning on preserving it. I'll make sure it's somewhere else because it's obvious that I'm one of the targets when the times come. It could have been the last day or two here they were thinking about going after everybody here in Michigan. It's okay. We need to go to war. I don't have a problem with that. I think we should. I believe that whatever they want to start, we'll finish. But I also have to think ahead to protect some of the cool stuff that I found because It's historical and I collected it for a reason to preserve it and pass it on. So just something to think about there. A lot of stuff needs to be put aside right now, set out of the line of fire, just like your valuable, you know, caches in preparation for war so that you have them when you need them. Okay, and more on the cache than it do. Hey Mark, this is Irish with you. Just wanted to mention what I found at Walmart clearance this week. I checked the hunting section because I found cellular game cameras, 50% off, so $120 cellular game camera for 60 bucks. Yes. So they had non-cellular models for 40. That's all I have to say. Excellent. Very good. Thank you for bringing that up. And again, there's a little bit of a glut because they really pushed that last year. So the neat thing is you can run into deals like that. But Walmart is where he's talking about Walmart, guys. Check them out. They also have their quarterly cycle out. It doesn't seem like they're doing it the way they've done in the past. And it has nothing to do with COVID or the coronavirus virus scam. It has to do with their policy and how they finally changed it, perhaps because somebody did some crunching of the numbers and realized, damn, we're losing a pile of money. Somebody might have actually realized just exactly how wasteful some of the stuff is that they were doing. Sadly enough, because we have been benefiting from that with regard to war materials. And again, preps and just basic material for all subjects you can imagine. Keep an eye on the clearance. One other thing about Walmart is they do strange things with clearance. You never know where it's going to be. But there's three basic models for the storage. Number one, it's up front when you come in the main door. Now, there may be another subsection way back in the back, like for the sporting goods, sometimes on the end caps with those types of stores. The other, there is a big ass section right beyond the cash registers. That's an island area. Well, usually just beyond the boots. And it's interesting how much stuff we've gotten out of those with regard to really good buys, great deals. And then the other is the clearances are in their respective departments and are just left in place with an end cap or something like that. So you have to know your store. Once you know what your store is doing, it's pretty consistent. And with Walmart, but there are differences. Even though they have big stores, middle stores, small stores, that doesn't seem to make any difference. It really does. It's not part of the formula. It's a flavor choice. Maybe they're given a certain option with construction. If you were going to management, you'd know more about it. And so they configure accordingly, as they choose. The big thing is they do want to keep track of inventory, so it's obvious that they would be making the effort to do the right thing, like you would think. But, clearance has not gone down as deep as they were also. They're not as cheap as they have been in the past, but they're still good deals. So, as is pointed out, 50% off on the game cameras? Yes. One nice thing about that is remember you can leave those as first tier. If the bad guys figure out where they are, we don't have as much money into them. Do you really care what happens to them? Oh, great, you don't want to throw money away. But the neat thing is you can afford to put sacrifice units up that can actually be tripwires unto themselves. Now, when I say tripwire, I'm going to remind you of something. Just because you set it up to let you know that something's going on, don't jump on the four wheelers and go charge it out in the middle of BFE because you could be moving out into a truck slash an ambush. Instead, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance, pay attention when you're moving, utilize overwatch cameras so that you can identify what might be out there waiting for you. This is especially critical. And, again, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. So, overwatch when you are mechanized, just as overwatch when you are infantry. The other thing, when you get to the area of interest, spread out. My God, I've seen so many cluster screws in, especially in videos where people are responding to stuff that you see in these drama videos that are on YouTube or one of the other services. Guys, spread out and learn to take position automatically. This is part of the team and leadership mechanism. One person, if there's only four, each should be observing a quadrant of their own while moving into an area that has a threat disposition. And again, if you have a second element that can overwatch your first, have them hang back, but have them observe not just to the front where you're moving, But they're area of operation, 360 degrees. They should be panning and scanning. Always remember that. The technology's good, but your enemy is creative too. Not that they're the smartest on the block, but they are conniving. So let's keep it in mind. We're going to be dealing with Can I be mine so they're going to try to do harm to you our job is to do great harm to them first exterminate all of them strip the enemy dead take what you find including intelligence and go down the road and hunt the bastards that sent these bastards to buy you and Kill them all just all there is to it get rid of every last one of them That's the most important aspect of the mission. Make sure you get them all. And when you've got all that are right in front of you, go find the other ones that aren't right there in front of you because they're part of the problem too. Prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Another thing here real quick. Well, we're at 20 minutes after. Also, don't forget freeze dried food. Now, they don't have much, and I just checked them Walmart yesterday. in the afternoon before we actually came up on the program just to see what they had laying around. The freeze dried foods seem to have disappeared from some of the stores, which I think is interesting because it has been a regular fare for quite some time. Not everybody has it, but those that do typically also have been cycling down, in other words, doing the clearance that was just talked about to move product out but bring new product in. Now, what was really kind of comical with the freeze dried is The freeze-dried shelf life is indefinite, and the shelf-outdate life is nowhere near anywhere that would justify clearing it. But because of the nature of the zombie-esque inventory system that Walmart has, a lot of this stuff gets kicked out the back door as clearance, or thrown out and destroyed, which is not good. But if that happens, too, oh, well, that's their problem, not ours. The big thing here is that That seems that the freeze dried because they didn't have it moving as fast or maybe the sources have dried up that are reasonably priced within the parameters of Walmart. Maybe they just can't get it. I don't know. I mean, a lot of people can't. So they've discontinued in most of the stores the freeze dried food that was in the sporting goods section. And so that is something. If you do spot it, pay attention. Go look in the clearance section. A lot of that, about 50%, whatever they were bringing in. was ending up in the clearance department. So definitely a double plus good thing if you can take advantage of that. And again, what's the shelf life of freeze dried? Indefinite. We don't know. And it's not because they haven't tried. It's just that it is the nature of freeze dried food. And again, with the packaging system, it's so optimal that it has an indefinite storage life. So this is why, as I've said many times on the air, that's the last food that you eat. You don't go, oh, I'm going to have some freeze dry because I feel bored with my, no you don't. Oh, so you're bored with what you've been eating. Oh well, the hell with that garbage. Don't open up those freeze dry units until very last. Why? As long as you don't disturb them, move them around, bounce them a lot, how can they actually go bad? And if you're smart, you won't move them around a lot. You're going to leave them right where they are. stored underground or under basements, whatever, in a nice climate or semi-climate controlled environment, they will sit there and stare at you indefinitely. Now, it doesn't mean you aren't going to eat them. It just means that you've got a lot of the stuff that needs to be eaten first, and food fatigue has nothing to do with the formula. I want to remind you of that. I've always heard that, oh, you're eating the same thing over and over again. Yeah, I can think of a lot of people who aren't eating anything. Shut up. Hey, Dad. Just shut up. Go ahead. We got to head there. Go ahead. Out in the back today, you know what I've been doing. Getting a little extra money. Found a new place that's pretty interesting down here, Gebo's. Low prices, everyday, farm, home, pet, and clothing. Walking into, it's like walking into a tractor supply, but they have good prices. They still have, like, the old prices on everything. which makes them definitely worth checking out. Just the gee-boas in our area, if this is a chain or just something that's locally, but this was out in the middle of BFE, Dad. One of those situations where the GPS led me out, you know, when we say, when we get to your doom, the drop-off where they had me going was like literally, I was at four corners and there was nothing but fields. And on the far end, there was a farmhouse and then there was like a warehouse on the other end. And that's what this was. Well, we definitely need more information on them because, and again, on that point, freeze dryer, if you can pick up your own freeze dryer, it doesn't make any difference what amount it can freeze dry. That particular food process, in reality, is one of the best that we could possibly commit to. So any type of freeze dryers that are reasonably priced and again you'll take a look here for anything that does larger volume and I know a lot of people want to do quantity. There's two things. They make noise which doesn't bother me. Like I said I'm tired of the panty waste. Oh would you shut up? I worked in a factory. I mean worked in factories and other situations. Not to mention the military with my gun. Come on. Think about some of the equipment we're around. Oh, wow. That makes a lot of noise. Oh, my god. I'm peeing my pants. It makes so much noise. It'll make what? So freeze dryers definitely are a good solution. So yeah, Ed Pass found the information. Send us the prices if you could. And for anybody else out there, we'll share them when we can. But what model so we can take a look at it? We'll probably commit to one of those, maybe two or three, committing what they have on the shelf, of course. And the name of the company, again, is? It's off to the side there. I'm here. D-E-E-O-S. D-E-O-S. D-E-O-S. Oh, it's the band. The guys went out. Yeah, the band went out, so they ended up down in Texas. You know, are we not men? Are we not D-O? D-E-E-S. Oh, gee, oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said D, Delta. No, D-E-O-S. Well, that's an interesting one. Jibo. Well, maybe it's the other band that was competing against Jibo and realized they had nowhere to go and their hardware looked like fun, so they moved sideways. You never know. Could be any number of reasons. But Jibo. So again, Jibo's, let's see what we can dig up on them. Because like you said, there's at least one. If there's one, there may be more. And again, This is something that isn't a surprise because some companies have run their course where originally they were a great idea and what happens is different people take over and they totally destroy the original concept of the store because they got a great new idea. It's not really a great new idea. It's just an idea. And it would happen with Big Lot. Big Lot went from being a bulk surplus store, I mean bulk as in many cases depending on where you were in the country like here in Michigan, they carried open bin surplus items where they bought industrial items from the different companies out there depending on what they had. And they'd offer that stuff up for a pretty reasonable price and it was grab it out of the box. hot sauce by the pallets, not by cases, and counting only one case at a time. See, that's one thing that shows you that things have gone to hell in a hand cart in general with most of these operations, because if you're wealthy, you can have lots of product on the shelf. But if your country has the facade of wealth, well, then there's not so much on the shelf. And that's exactly what you're seeing with pretty much everything around the country. Again, it would be rather interesting to see how this develops or where they also do see where they came from, which I think would be fascinating. Any place like that, check the food, check the tools, and don't forget, paint is becoming ludicrously priced. I looked at $15 a can of paint yesterday with the new prices. Ed realized I'm not buying that paint real quick. OK? So they have some other interesting items in there, Dad? They were selling like pre-tied lassos and stuff for like doing big animals because that's where they're at, you know. Right. A lot of tools that I didn't get to look long because I was trying to get back. But like I said, I did a walk through the store. I did see something interesting like in the, they had like a sportman's area. And there was one item that I might go back and see if I can buy one if they still have them there. There were Patriot ties, Dad. And it's those 12-loop knot things that Don Vetcher taught me how to make that are technically illegal. Right. Patriot neckties. Right. Well, that's rather interesting. So they're not very politically correct either. Hey, by the way, we really don't care. What? No, we really don't care. But, oh my god, you know what you got? No, we really don't care. What? Just shut up. Buy it if you want it. If not, move on. We're going to say something. Who cares? Well, that's what they were saying to me. It was Patriot deck ties. But it's like, anybody who looks at that, do what that was. That's a pretty big statement in and of itself. Yeah, hold still. We're going to help you out. Well, again, so that's in the Lubbock area, right? Yeah, just south of Lubbock, literally. It's straight down slide where it starts to turn into, I'm not sure if they're doing cotton or what out there. Because I know that if you start going that area, you've got cotton, a little wheat, but there's a point where it turns into peanuts. Right. Well, that's the cycle, too. Remember, cotton peanuts. And then you do something in like a rye grass, or actually rye wheat. Well, rye. Not rye wheat, but rye. And that helps to build the soil back. And there's a whole, they have a cycle. I don't know what they're doing with their fertilizers now, because they can cut part of that, too, which is a cheat. But oh well, that happens. So again, that would be worthwhile. One of the other things about the freeze-dried technology is, again, you are still going to need consistent power. Don't forget that. Obviously, you're going to run machinery, so you have to make that part of your math formula for future activities, having the energy and the capacity to operate the equipment as needed. That should be a high priority, because next to your food processing is really where we need to be focusing now. If you've built up an inventory, fantastic. But you need to be ready when things run out. Where will you go? What are you going to do? And so prior prepper planning prevents piss poor performance. We need to have production capacity in place now in preparation for that moment in time. Because it's not an if. It's just a when that's going to happen. So remember that. Not an if. Just a when. And anyway, oh my goodness, we're at the bottom. Let's do this real quick. You are listening to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And I'll tell you what, if you could, let's pull up. The latest guns and gadgets, first of all. Then we'll do a few songs. We've got to go through our music request list. I've got to stay up on that. You guys have been sending more down range. I got a couple of letters yesterday, too. Appreciate that. From Marge in Arizona and also Danny in South Dakota. So we got your mail. Thank you. We appreciate that. And again, for everybody, Guns N Gadgets is over on YouTube. Take the time. Go over there. Check out. See what they've got, what he's got posted. But also make a point of giving him a thumbs up and passing on, if you can, share the videos that are produced. That changes the numbers. And that's all. Again, cost nothing. It's free. All you have to do is spend a little bit of time. And we appreciate it if you can pitch in. We don't get anything from Guns and Gadgets for that just in case. And it is Friday on Liberty Tree Radio. That was Guns and Gadgets on YouTube. Please take the time to go over, subscribe and give a thumbs up as you can. Now, Mike and the Mechanics, silent running for our friends in South Dakota. We didn't forget you. Mike and the Mechanics. Silent Running. Somebody said in the letter, Mark, you haven't played that song in a while. And can you play it? So I said yes, yes we can. But I was talking to the wall because it's a letter, not an email. So for everybody out there, it is Friday. We're headed into the weekend with the High Camp, Emerson, New Camp Stasa, Camp Way in the North, the Ogham Maranges, Nagahitcham, Wolf, and Fox. And also Fort Benning, Michigan. We've got a lot of activity at Fort Benning, Michigan this weekend. It is fantastic. And yes, somebody, I was talking about Fort Hood. We're thinking about naming one of the other facilities that's the unnamed Fort Hood. So we're going to have a Fort Hood, Michigan. That's going to be cool. And again, big build up. To explain something a little bit here about a really cool kit, we started working on decades ago and we've developed it to the point where it's a package off the shelf science. It's so simple it's ridiculous for shelters and housing or for shelters and especially for covering supplies. Here the music will be back. The mechanics right here on Liberty Tree Radio. the silent running album, Michael Cragg, silent running, Mike and the Mechanics. That was the mid-length version. There are three versions. You've got the full length with the extension, which is long, and demi-instrumental. Then you've got the version you just heard. Then you've got the shortcut version that was done when people have heard the song so much. And on radio, what they do is they have a shortcut version so that you can get it in there and fit more of what people have already heard. And they usually hear it, and they get satisfied, but they may be hearing it as background music. So they don't necessarily pay attention to the fact there's another minute, or a minute and a quarter, or a minute and a half shaved off the song. They did this all the time back in the day, guys. And that's why it's actually collectible. I have a collection here. I've mentioned this many times through this year. I bought a collection, and I've been editing. I have to sit down for, oh, half an hour at a time, and I have to plug the CD in. And I've been listening. And one of the things that I've gotten a big collection of are what are promo CDs. And these are not for resale. a repeat of the song multiple times, but they have all three versions. They have the long full play with maybe an additional instrumental. They have the mid-play, which is the one you typically would hear 99% of the time on any radio, and even typically was on the album, but the long play might be on the last part of a flip on the albums on the old LPs. And then you have the short version for, okay, you've got to punch a bunch of these in because you're promoting our record and it goes to the radio station and they would flip a whole bunch of the compressed versions to get all of their obligations in with the network or with the record affiliate that they've got a contract with. So it's kind of cool. I've got one of a kind of stuff that I've, it's been 50 years since I've heard it. And what's really fascinating is I have a vast collection of live concert from pigeonhole locations, the old hole in the wall bars and such that we used to be all over the country. There's still some out there, but nothing like there used to be. And several locations are right here in Michigan and were classic. In fact, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, there was a hole in the wall bar that was multi-tiered. It went up because it was crammed into a stupid little business. I don't know how they held a fire. They got over the fire code. Well, they bribed somebody or somebody in the city owned it. But it actually was opened up for three stories. So you were looking down. And everybody from... Bob Seger to Three Dog Night to Pink Floyd to anybody you can imagine would show up there. And what's funny is they always had a gnome de gueur for the different, each band had its own gnome de gueur it would use. So people would come in there sitting there and go, that looks like, that looks like the Pink Floyd band, man. Now we're not talking a big place. We're talking a place where literally if you stand on the second tier, they hold out each of the floors in the middle. So it was like a big globe amphitheater is what it was like on the inside. But everything was painted flat black, everything was subdued, and you'd look down on the band on the stage. And everybody you could think of showed up in that little hole in the wall at one time or another in a year. I ran into a place like that out in Arizona off Fort Worth. We got to the same way. Sat down and lo and behold, we had Fleetwood Mac out of the blue. It looks like Fleetwood Mac. Everybody is sitting there because we are just going to something in the evening on a Friday and usually there would be a live band there and it was free. So it was like okay and all of a sudden it was like that looks like, that girl looks a lot like Stevie Nicks. Yeah, yeah look at the drummer man. He looks all psychedelic too dude. Is that who I think it is? And of course on the marquee they didn't have Fleetwood Mac. They had some off the wall name that was made up. But as soon as everybody started to see who it was and again once they started playing there was no doubt. But it was obvious if you paid any attention to the artist. And people were running over to the telephone, didn't have cell phones back then, and they're calling their buddies, dude, get everybody over here, man. We want Macs over here live. And it would be like, whoa, no way. Yes way. OK, so that's how it used to be. And a lot of the stuff was recorded because whoever owned the place was smart enough to have decent recording technology. A lot of that was on reel to reel. In this case, the collection I captured was from a guy who, one of the things that he was doing is preserving by creating a CD library of all of the reel-to-reel, cassette, and all the other stuff that we know, even records, some are even custom-cut records. There used to be private record machines you could buy just like tape recorders. Several of our people had them. That's how they were able to get, you know, in the old days before you had all the internet and everything else. And before cassettes, et cetera, guys, people used to cut records of speakers. And if you might run into it once in a while, there will be a burgundy-colored vinyl. If you ever see a burgundy-colored vinyl record, it literally will be burgundy. That's not a plumb. It's burgundy. It's the best way to describe it. Full-sized LP, 33 and a third. And those albums are all custom. If you ever run into those, they are worth money because you might have something here that no one else has. Dead Cold Serious. You want to make money, you want to buy the next AR-15 for free, or so to speak, somebody else paid for it. This is the kind of stuff you need to be cognizant of. So if you see any of these burgundy albums, They were typically cut in-house. In many cases, they were cut either at speakeasies or hole-in-the-walls like we're talking about. Or they were done in private session. And they were done for courtesy or for promotional purposes. In many cases, somebody wanted, hey, you guys are here. Could you play some music for me? Well, sure, Bob. I could do that. Hold on. Let me get the machine set up. And they had a platter cutter right there. And they were privately owned. This is stuff you can buy, put in your house the size of a stereo system, about a chin-high stereo system is what they look like. Again, old 50s to 60s, very early 70s. Didn't see much done in the 70s, but they were out there. So just a heads up on that. We're at the top, and hopefully that makes our friends in South Dakota feel better. Mike in the mechanics, I'm running. We are at the top of the hour here. God bless our Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on the march. We'll pay a night. Hurrah. Kick him to slats. Beat him down hard. When they try to get back up, kick him in the head. Make sure they never get up again. We're going to war in 24, and we will win. And to do that, we've got to get rid of them. Anyway, we'll be back. Oh, grab a cup of coffee. Rug used the bathroom. It is the end of the first hour. It is Friday on Liberty Tree Radio. We'll be back. Ladies and gentlemen, before I go any farther, this is some special coffee Nancy made. Smell, amount to taste, the coffee roll around on the tongue, it is of course 50% of the espresso, very fine espresso, and of course a very high grade of creamer. that one of our friends produces down the road with the cows, by the way. He owns the farm, he owns the dairy, and of course, I had to have some of this because he just dropped them by. So, taste. Caffeole. Mondeux, tres piedes. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon, an intelligence report. I'm our kirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, north, east, west, and south. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And we are on satellite. Want to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. Know where your lifeboats are. Remember, the backstabbing Israelis are going to do something really wicked here pretty soon, if they haven't already. And they're just covering it up and waiting to throw it out there on the carpet. So pay attention and be safe. And we thank you again for your work. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Friday. Oh, it has been a beautiful Friday. And I'm inside. And it's a beautiful Friday. And I could be getting more done, but we have to do this. So guess what? If you get a chance, get back outside. My peace defense. The beautiful spring air. We had first the air from the north. Now we have some coming off Lake Erie. And it's clean. where the air has been scrubbed and now today a beautiful bright day. It is of course Cinco Di Amo Day. This is the day when the señoras, se señorita, señoras, all of you will go to the gun shop and you will buy a pistola or perhaps a rifle or perhaps a shakar. But if you do, because it is Cinco Di Amo Day. Today is the day when you must buy ammunition and if you are not celebrating it, there is something wrong with you. For today is payday perhaps. Take some of your centavos, pesos, euros, maybe American gringo dollars and buy all the ammunition you can get your hands on. So anyway, y es cinco di amo de haicinoa. So, and again that means it's the 10th of May. It is the 16th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2024 old earth calendar. I'm Kivor Olshas, gut captain. 125%! She'll blow up any minute! Of course, I'm lying. We actually can go 150, but that's okay. It makes everybody think, what did he say in the movie? I'm a miracle worker. Bloody hell. So anyway, that means it is the 16th year of Open Obvious, an In-Gear-Faced Fabian, Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. Absolutely. Make no mistake about it, with what you saw yesterday and today in Congress, Baby and the Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. I cannot emphasize that enough. 2024, Battle for the Republic, the Dance of Swords, of course. So what a beautiful day. Let's see, songs. I was trying to think of some new stuff we could put out there. Taking the old let's see. Slow down, you're shooting too fast. You got to make your ammo last. Kicking up the cobblestones, shooting the commies and feeling in the notch and groovy. Especially if you have a K98 Mauser, if you have one of those beautiful Swiss K or M31s, guess what? You know, notch and groove. Get it? I want to bring that up because you don't need to put optics on those rifles. But if you do, yeah, they're even more of a thing. The performance will, of course, be fantastic. But there's a ton of these K43s, or forgive me, the 31s coming in right now. And you're going all the way back to the earlier model and variants that are pre-1898 and OFFL, all the way through to the post-World War I models and variants, which they produced all through, actually, I think up to the 40s at least, and I'm probably wrong, closer to the 50s. The Schmidt-Rubin straight pulls in whatever variant are heavier than SIN. You thought I was going to say something really great there for a moment. No, they're heavier than SIN. They're a beast rifle to carry. They are built like a brick doghouse. Most everything Swiss made during that, you know, the philosophy was they were going to pass it off to the next generation. Well, they did. And this stuff is just phenomenally engineered. The metallurgy was fantastic. There are stripper clips. Now most people don't realize this. I was buying them years ago and nobody thought about it because nobody wanted them. I used to go to the different wholesalers and they would always have cases, boxes of loose Schmidt-Rubin stripper clips. They were a little different. They were non-strategic materials. They didn't make them out of metal. They do make a metal stripper clip, and you can buy them with the stripper clip guides, but there is a non-strategic material guide stripper clip that was an ammo carrier mechanism, and they were pennies. They weren't even pennies. I think I'd get ten for, you know, like five cents at one time. So we piled them up because he's, well, we got some at Rubens. I just don't have any, but somebody does. They'll take them. I took them with a bunch of other stuff. And, well, now there are so many of these Schmitt Rubens out there that, because as you've seen, those stripper clips and Mann-Lincher stripper clips and everything have gone stupid price. You can make money hand over fist on the accoutrements. I mean hand over fist. But if you're going to buy one of those Schmitt Rubens, there are still a few niches, a few holes, places where those stripper clips are actually cheap. And most people don't even realize they're there. Like I've said, a lot of these companies buy arms and ammunition and pieces and parts. And some of the stuff they get when they buy out a gun shop or a store are things they don't really normally carry. They're not interested in. They have a lot of them. They're going to throw them out. They've got a good price on them. They sell a few. They can pay for all. And then everything else is profit. Well, now those things have become goofy profit. This is like World War II stuff. Now, Vietnam stuff is going the same way, so, and again, it's far enough in the taillights, we'd expect that. The Schmidt Rubens, one really cool thing about them, if you get a chance, take a look at the rifle. If one of your friends has one, and you should familiarize yourself with the Schmidt Rubens straight pull rifle, because there are a lot of them out there. Now, they're in 7.5 Swiss. which is a 30 caliber load. Basically, its counterpart is a 7.62x51 NATO. There was a period of time when one company, and it was a precision machining company, so they did really good work, were actually re-chambering the Schmidt Rubens from the 7.5 to other cases. And because the quality of the barrel is so phenomenal, the only thing they had to watch is that I believe that there was a short period when they were doing a stellite type liner for the barrels. If you're familiar with that, guys, you're not machining that. That was a very rare item. And these were Marksman's guns. There's a special whole history on those that they cropped back in the early 80s. as surplus, but they're out there. And it's more likely you'll probably see one of those nowadays. But 7.5 Swiss is out there as surplus a little bit. And it's typically, everybody considers it match great ammunition. Rightly so, because the ammunition is, the Swiss don't do anything cheap. And the quality of their ammunition is phenomenal. However, I would not shoot the military ball ammo. Once again, Mark will tell you to save it. You may want to grab a box, sandbag the gun, and find out where it prints with that ammunition so you can understand and relate to it. But if I was doing any regular shooting with a Schmidt Rubin for training, to give people some live fire experience, I'd go to aimsurplus.com and pick up PPU 7.5 Swiss. It's as cheap as anything else out there that PPU makes. They do offer it both in ball, and I have seen it in soft point. It's, again, an excellent solution. You shoot for a particular rifle, make sure you reload for that rifle, and it's a lot easier to reload. Take the brass, mark the box for that rifle, and keep shooting it out of that weapon, and you'll get more life out of the reloaded brass. First rule, more shooting, less cost. OK? The Schmidt Rubens though, take a look at the muzzle crown. Now this is something I've talked about a lot because most of your K98 Mausers, be they the Czech, Polish, or German, and of course there's Spanish out there, a lot of Spanish. Right now there's some Spanish surplus showing up because that's coming from the Ethiopian hordes. The cache is there. Most of the Mauser types use what is a ball crown. Now what do I mean by that? Well, if you're looking at it from the side, it looks like, if you look at the barrel, get up close, it looks like from the side like half a donut. In other words, cut half a donut, put that on the end of a tube, and that's what the crown looks like on the typical Mauser rifle. And the crown, where the half of the donut is cut on the inside circle there, that's where the rifling ends. Now, what happens with most rifles, no matter how hard you try, and one of the reasons that people go, it's an old rifle, it's not shooting. Well, you don't know anything about gunsmithing or you don't think about the guns, so you're thinking that because it's got an issue that you can't fix it. You can back set your crown in it very quickly and tighten that barrel right back up with whatever rifling is left in it. Now, rifling is the other half of the formula, but a lot of the Euro guns, especially the K98s, have very deep lands and grooves. The Polish Mausers especially were good for that. Along with the Czechs, they were all competing against the K98 Mauser in Germany for marketing overseas. Well, the Schmidt Rubens weren't really marketer overseas. They were just making them for themselves. But if you look, they get a canted crown. And there's a reason for that, to reduce the possibility of wear and tear on the crown with cleaning of the weapon, because that's really, it's not the bullets that get you, it is the repeated cleaning which is necessary and was traditionally necessary for the last hundred years because of corrosive ammunition. Now because of this, most of these countries made crown protectors and they're still out there. You can still find them. Your SKS carbine and AKA if you've got the Chinese or if you've got the Romanian cleaning kit for the SKS or the Bulgarian. Have you looked to see how that cleaning kit works? You have a crown protector. Part of your cleaning kit, that little module, when you click, take it apart, remember part of it's the handle, but part of it, if you'll notice, there's a hole and it's dimpled in a particular way, and you actually have a little set of claws. And if you look, you can take that little cap that's only about, what, maybe an inch long? Or maybe not even 3-quarters of an inch. You'd have to double measure it again. But anyway, you put that on the end of the muzzle. You click it into place to the site. Congratulations. You now have a ramrod guide that takes the abuse instead of the crown of your rifle. Have you ever used that when you've cleaned your weapon? Well, here's a little hint. You should. Now, they make a variety. And I believe, and I was slightly in the microphone. I could be wrong. I think. that over at JGSales.com, if you've got the Spanish Mausers or the M95 Steyr Strait Poles, which are Austrian, Austro-Hungarian, or anything like that, there are a number of guides out there. They're wood-handled. They actually look like a screwdriver handle, a very nice wooden screwdriver handle. They have a shaft hole in the middle. They also have a knuckle slash a lock point at the other end. And this goes over the muzzle of the rifle. Once that little notch is parallel with the front sight, you just turn it sideways, and that locks it onto the rifle. Very simple. And most important, is that the metals that were typically used are also softer, non-aggressive metals for the guides. So the cleaning rod, of course, the guide should be taking the abuse if it were to wear out. It's a penny item. It's a trinket item. The barrel is a significant component of the weapon, right? So you don't want to wear that down. So heads up, again, these are simple little tools that were built for most, all the firearms out there. JG sales, the one that they have, I think, will fit the M95, but it'll also fit a lot of the other earlier Mausers. Pre-98s especially, so you might want to experiment if you've got a bunch of Model 91s, Model 93s, Model 95s, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. You might want to check that out because, again, a lot of the Spanish M1916s are coming out right now that are basically Model 93. And the neat thing about these is that, again, they're not looking too shabby. But let's protect them because they are as old as they are. And they have seen some miles sometimes. You can, of course, fix the crown if you have to experiment. But you might not have to, so let's protect it so it doesn't wear down. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there, please. Hey, Mark. It's John from Kentucky. I use a, I think it's a 243 case cut in half in a 30 caliber. The neck fits right into the barrel. And then the ramrod goes through the center of it. Over. Exactly, because again, the brass, it will wear out, but the brass is not going to be abusive to the barrel. It's going to absorb and prevent any chafing or wear on the muzzle crown. And again, the price is right, what you're doing. And you can create them. Remember, just experiment with whatever case out there fits, break out your drill index, and match up accordingly for the hole for your cleaning rod. Forgive me. Go ahead. I just cut the case in half. I sacrificed one case. It's the cheapest and the easiest. Put two on your cleaning box and forget about it. I'm out. Yep. Exactly. Thank you. Again, well, improvise, adapt, and overcome. Good solution. I think one of the big things here, again, is the Swiss rifles actually do come in their kit. And you might notice, for $10, there's still a steal. Right now, you can get the Swiss Army cleaning kits. They have a black handle. It's actually a plastic handle. They're a very well-constructed cleaning kit. They're built for a 30 caliber because, oh, that's right. The Schmidt Rubens are a 30 caliber. So you can get a phenomenal cleaning kit that you wouldn't just use on the 30 caliber K31s, but you can use it on all the rest of your 30 caliber weapons. So there's all kinds of neat solutions out there. All of them work. All of them are good. So take advantage of them while you can. And again, that's a simple solution there. The big thing is that when the brass wears out, take that piece of brass, throw it over into your scrap pile. Don't ever throw it away. And find yourself another piece. Modify accordingly, and you're back in business. And so again, repeat, repeat, repeat. The one thing I brought the other thing about the Stryers is everybody has been asking me about this. What do you think about them? They're heavy. I mean, I'm going to tell you, if you haven't picked up a That's the first thing everybody says when they've ordered one. I've just noticed this. Oh, they're kind of heavy. Well, yeah, they're an infantry rifle. Remember, they weren't concentrating on volume fire, but you can get a great deal of volume fire going with a straight-pull gun once you get used to it. And what we say by straight-pull, guys, you just grab the charging, can you grab the bolt handle, pull straight to the rear. Once you pulled it all the way to the rear, jam it forward with significant force. Next round is picked up, aim, boom. The Steyr straight pull works the same way, and right now there are a bunch of Steyr straight pulls in the full Gewehr, or long rifle, over at Royal Tiger imports. Now that's a totally different weapon from the, that's the Osterhund-Garrion M95. That rifle had a number of developments, just like the Schmidt-Rubin, and it stayed in service for about the same period of time. In fact, even up until just a little bit ago, the reason you're seeing some of these that look like they've been in an arsenal, not in the desert in Ethiopia, or I should say the dry popcorn fart era of Ethiopia, is because there are still caches of these things around in Europe. putting them out there. And actually, I think it's the Rent-A-Revolution companies. Up until the A90s, or actually back in the 90s, the Rent-A-Revolution companies were selling the Steyr straight poles to African natives to defend themselves from the other tribes who bought AKs. Or they just bought the Steyr because it was, they bought them because they were cheap. They probably got them for about anywhere from $3 to $7 a gun over-the-counter retail. But which is a big chunk of money for people who are dirt poor in Africa. But they also could get ammunition, where not all ammunition was available, for more modern guns. So the Steyr, with the ammunition all coming in stripper clips, was purchased in big quantity. And it was used as a local or tribal defense gun for quite some time. Still hanging around out there. Problem, they do require stripper clips if you want to use the mag. So when they lost the stripper clips, if they weren't paying attention. It's a single-shot rifle. Other things about the Swiss Schmidt Ruben, it will reach comfortably with iron sights 1,000 yards. Comparably speaking, it's as good as a mini match grade Springfield you're going to run into, or match grade M1A or M1 Garand. As an average rifle, the performance on these things has been fantastic because first of all, they were well maintained by the population. They have had a deep ordnance support system for the civilian marksmanship end, which is what everybody is a part of. Everybody is supposed to be in the militia in Switzerland. And so these guns actually have been well maintained as either cash guns that were hidden away by the population. They're given to the people by the government. They're told to hide them so we can't find them. Oh, you thought that they hid them from the government because the government's going to come and confiscate them. No, the government gave them to them and told them we'd better not be able to find these easily because when the other side shows up, they're going to want to try and steal them from us. So let's make sure we've got all the guns out where we need them, which is what they did. So that's why these things have never really fully been withdrawn. And you still see videos of a lot of the Swiss shooting the Schmitts on the range, the Schmitt Rubens on the range on a regular basis, with the younger adults firing and operating newer weapons that they've been issued. But usually, if you see them on the range, they have a Schmitt, a .22 of some kind, and again, the Ixuet rifle that they have to qualify with. If not more, I mean they're doing the same thing we do. What I, somebody is, would you carry it? If you know, if you, to keep you alive, well yeah, I'm gonna tell you right now, the Schmidt-Rueben rifles that are out there, I'm sure I could probably take it, like I said, like the M14 to about 700 yards of the iron sights comfortably, 750, and the rifle's fully capable of it. I have not seen a bad one yet. I've not seen an abused Schmidt-Rueben. I've seen abused everything else, but because these all were held by the pasty-faced white people of Switzerland, the white people took care of what they had and maintained it. It's just that simple. And so what you're seeing coming out are decent. Now, it's a bastard caliber. I'm going to say it's an orphan caliber. You're not going to find anybody carrying 7.5 Swiss. Nobody. But if you're an American Defense Force and you also like to collect guns, it's an effective weapon. You just need to buy dyes. Make sure you buy all the brass that can be reloaded you can. Go to AIM surplus, buy PPU, and buy a lot of it. But also watch for the Swiss 7.5 ammunition that pops out here and there and buy a case or two of it at a time, usually a case. It's in the black milk carton cardboard containers. They're heavily waxed. It has a black outer coloring for the cardboard. It is very waterproof. We're very well packed. Quite intricate. And again, in most cases, also it was in a transport can. Mostly when it got here, they dumped the transport can and sold it separately. People trying to make as much money off whatever was imported. And so the transport cans, you can find them, the proper can for that ammunition in the bricks that it's made in. But it's few and far between, and it's not collectible. I mean, they are considering it collectible. That's the problem. So it's not worth it if you're paying an ungodly amount. You can make it work, make that ammunition work with other cans. So I'd just go with a can that's closer to the mark and be done with it if you're going to think about putting it in separate ammo cans, which you should, by the way. They were at the bottom of the hour. OK, we had two people. We already took care of the Dakotas. So for everybody out there, you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. We're headed into the weekend. I want to say hi to Camp Emory, Camp Emerson, New Camp Stasa, Camp Wayland North, where all the work was done earlier this year, and it's paying off. Let's see, the Ogham arranges, Naga-Hitcham, and especially Naga-Hitcham is busy this weekend, Fox-Wolf, and new Fort Benning, Michigan, along with the Rustics. But the Rustics are going to start changing names here pretty soon. They aren't just dots on the map. And I was going to talk about temporary or cheap structure construction that you can do anywhere. Actually, I can make it a kit. More on that in a minute, because I got to make sure I put that out this hour. Anyway, Ed, if you could, let's see what was the first request here that we had. We covered the one. So we got the mic and the mechanics out of the way. Let's do, I got three here. Let's do, oh, you know what? I'm going to do this as one. Somebody else mentioned this in random today. It's one of those matrix things. It's an attitude song, OK? And you might recall the John Wayne movie, North to Alaska. Johnny Horton, North to Alaska. Ed, if you could play that. Although that's for our friends way down in the south, in the southwest. OK, probably heading up to Alaska or something? No, you just like the song. OK, I appreciate that. So North to Alaska, Johnny Horton. You might recall the song was the theme for a John Wayne movie by the same title, North to Alaska. I'm pretty sure that was the name of it, as a matter of fact. And you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. Don't forget we're also on 6. Here we go. We are back. Johnny Horton, we're going to do another Johnny Horton. As a matter of fact, this is going to keep me happy too. Johnny Horton, we weren't sure who had done this originally because I pulled it out of another inventory. Johnny Horton, Gary Owen. And guys, for all of you that are mechanized this weekend, we're pulling out all the stops and all the activity we've had around the state. Everybody figures, keep your best weapons close to you and make sure that they're squared away and ready to fight. So we are in battle mode this weekend for training. And that means all our mech heads will be out there. Some of you have been with the Gary Owen. So for everybody, again, here we go. A fighting song live. get to the chopper. And don't forget, we will be in fact in the southern Michigan. We have an Air Mobile Unit that we'll be deploying this weekend and we are going to be working on our coordinated ground and air tech in the Lenawee County area and also in Ohio. So we will be down that neck of the woods with a small ab section. Should be three OH-58s. And we have one UH-1 that's going to be participating. Also a bunch of our little crotch rocket mosquito helicopters. And this will be, of course, in conjunction with some of the CMM units in northern Ohio. So you guys, we're going to stop in. Don't worry, you're not that far away. We're going to be stopping in. I don't know what day. But we will be there because it's just fun. And also 18th Ridge Metal Combat Team Colonial Marine Militia Mechanize. You guys will be out there. That's Gary Owen. That's why the Gary Owen theme is, again, part of the repertoire for today. And the 18th, which are my guard, as a matter of fact. And I want to say thank you guys. I appreciate the The honor that you give me, been a while. But we are adding a few more vehicles to the inventory that we have dug out of mothballs. Remember, there's a collection about a month and a half ago we found. Took time to get the rest of everything. We don't move stuff until we know for sure what we've got, what happened to something. And it turned out with one of the vehicles we had a transmission issue that was locked up. That's why it was parked, which was not surprised. It's a tracked vehicle, which means it's, you know, you ever tried dragging a rock that weighs like, you know, 13 tons? It's like, you know. And so instead, how about we be smart? So the wrench heads all got in there. And it turns out that it was simply transmission follies that we see with vehicles of the type that were resurrecting. In this case, it's an odd man out because, and I can't even recall the nomenclature for the vehicle, there were a bunch of them in the southern part of the state. We have more than one of these that we have found. But it was an assault gun version of the chafee. Now, if they made these things, their serial numbers are not XM. The serial numbers are... M's, which means that usually the government does this. So by a vehicle, they put a series of them into service, and they call them an XM model. Sometimes, like with trucks, it can be 500 of them, and they're still experimental because they're going to tweak the design. So they put them into service and let us beat them to death, and then they figure out what broke, and then they change it, and then they make it the M model. Well, it's interesting. These vehicles, which I've cracked the history down of. Forgive me off the top of my head. They had a main gun, it was a howitzer, typically they're there, but they were in the Chafee 105s, by the way, just to let you know, they're a 105 howitzer. But they were our answer to the Stemgeschutz howitzer variant and its open hull. There are a lot of vehicles like this built during the middle end of the war. And in this case, very nimble, very easy to work on. Later on, after the World War II, European countries developed the overhead cover and armor for them. So mimicking that is your best bet. But in this case, for what we plan on using it for until it dies, whatever, The price was right. It's a gimme thing. We already have it. So anyway, we got that dragged out. You might see that this weekend. I don't know if the guys have rebuilt the trans. In this case, it's a Chrysler transmission. I don't know why, because I know that there have been others. I know a lot of those were Dodgems, and a lot of them were Ford. So apparently Chrysler, which is big here in southern Michigan, northern Ohio. back in the day. These were built here, or at least the rebuild of the upper hull was done here, and these vehicles are still dotting on the map. We're still finding them. They run like a rape date. Once they're put together, everything's squared away. They are a phenomenal piece of equipment. They're actually pretty nimble, and they're good for speed. So, again, thank you to the guys and Double Plus Good. If I dig up another sanctuary of iron dinosaurs, we're pulling them into service, you know that. Now, real quick, I want to talk about something else here. And this is, of course, over the weekend. You can even experiment a little bit. As Ed knows, we built greenhouses. We started out doing a design that somebody else had been putting out on information bases like YouTube. And it was like, interesting, but what can we do to make it better? And we did. We started playing with it. We originally designed the design cult for using VisiQueen, which it is you make a frame out of one inch PVC pipe. You take 10 foot pieces of PVC pipe. You use a normal joiner, a straight joiner is what was originally proposed, which works. And what you do is create ribs. Every two feet, you can make it as long as you want. And every two feet, what you do is make another rib. Now, the way to do this is you can use, say, 1.5 inch, well, used iron pipe. You can use rerod, or I should say reinforcing, rebar. You can buy it in sections which are actually just exactly what you want. From any of the big box stores, you go over to their hardware section. We should say their raw material section. or you can cut them, you can find scrap later on, which is what we do. And what you do is you map it out first by creating a rectangle the size that you want. Again, the idea behind this is you're creating a Quonset hut. So what you want is an arc, basically a half circle. And the idea behind this is that you have a uniform material you can purchase anywhere, 10 foot pieces of PVC pipe. The joiners are minimal cost because it's a straight jointer originally. In addition to that, the VisiQueen was off the shelf. And to keep the VisiQueen in place, now this design is still not bad. You take 1 1⁄4 inch PVC pipe, cut it into 4 inch or 5 inch sections, and then what you do is map out. You make a jig if you want, which is actually quite easy to do, and you cut about a finger's width, any finger will do, but about a finger's width, a little more or a little less, no not less, more. Actually you can do almost, one and a quarter you do actually, now one large thumb, let's do it that way. You cut that much out of it lengthwise, round the corners, after you cut the pipe, take a grinder and round them out, use a sander, round them out. And what you have are clips to hold the VisiQueen in place. So you can use canvas, you can use VisiQueen, and the 1 and 1 quarter PVC pipe internal dimension matches the 1 inch external. So when you clip it on, it locks into place, especially when it has a load, an additional material filling out the dimension when you clip these things together. Initially, we did the VisiQueen. Later on, we started experimenting with other materials. I mean, after all, we want it kind of to be semi-permanent. The greenhouse is built this way. You also need it about the four-foot mark or five-foot mark, five-foot even, because that's halfway up the height of the PVC pipe on the inside. You need a crossbar. Now, the first thing that was recommended, and it actually is pretty cool, is cement. fascia bars that you use for screwing to cement to create a mock steel stud for installing drywall or whatever else you want in a basement or a cement surface area. You can use it for a lot of other projects. Now, this is actually like a U-channel. It was cheap, it used to be cheap, it disappeared from the market for a while. I mean, when I see it disappeared, people told me that the hardware never existed and you could buy this material at any common hardware in the country. But newer people who had no clue about hardware and had no clue of history would tell you that, oh, they never made anything like that. There's nothing available yet. Then I went to another part of the industry and found it was still there. Now, the steel channel is 10 foot long. You're going to need a couple of those for each side. But it varies depending upon what are you building. Now, if you want to make a longer greenhouse using these PVC pipe, they're cheap. Now, the first question we had was, how do they hold up? Well, they actually hold up quite well. In fact, we had the first prototype up for two years. And the only thing that really took a meeting was the visit queen. Using other materials, this is the next step. Since you know that you have a 10-foot high PVC pipe, and let's say that I don't need a clear surface, but rather I'm trying to make a, how about a protective overhead shed to cover, how about small tractor or maybe a piece of equipment. You map out the same greenhouse format. You make it 10-foot long or make it 20-feet long. Wait a minute, Mark. Why didn't you just go somewhere in between? Here's why. And I'm abbreviating this. If you go to buy vinyl siding and you want to purchase vinyl siding, it comes in one box that it will cover one 10 foot height times a 10 foot length. Well, or whatever length you buy your vinyl siding in, because you can get that in different lengths. So the interesting thing is, is since you know that every two feet you're going to put up a rib, you're going to put your crossbar on the inside, what's really great about this is you use all the same material used for vinyl siding finishing. You get a tractor edge for the base. You screw that in, a couple of screws per each of the PVC pipe. And now you have a guide. And then all you do is take one panel of vinyl siding out. Click it into place. Screw it into the PVC pipe across the whole length. In other words, from left to right. Grab it on the piece, click it into place. You know how quickly you can put this up? How durable is this? Well, by the way, now we do both sides. We get all the way to the top. What are we going to use for a cap? Well, amazingly enough, I found that what really works well as a cap are the corner guides. Now it doesn't have to be the same color and I try to find it resale points like habitat for humanity, but I also look for throwouts or tossouts or returns from menards, loaves, some have them, some don't, so you figure out who does and who doesn't, or look for odds and ends pieces from friends. Are you talking about dry, all corner beads Mark? No, no, no. Or some other type of corner like this. Plastic vinyl side corner bead that's used in all corners. And that becomes a natural crown for the building. Think about it. It's peaked. And it has two sides. And what you do is lay that down along the top. And everything comes right up to that 10-foot mark, locks right into where that other piece is overlapping. And you have yourself a small vinyl-sided PVC tube building that will hold up to a Michigan winter. How do we know this? Because we built them, we built it, and it did. Now, if you put your little guide bar on the inside just a little higher than four feet, in other words, you want it to the bottom rail of your two horizontal bars for support. are the lower part of it is at four feet, just at four feet. Maybe a little higher, not much, by maybe an eighth of an inch. You can then buy four by eight sheets of polyvinyl, take your pick, plastic, whatever, and screw that into the lower surface. It will arc and will cover efficiently and help to reinforce that outer arc. And you've got yourself one hell of a strong structure. But before you put that inner panel in, go buy yourself some inexpensive Styrofoam, cut it to fit within the two-foot distance, so less than two feet, of the PVC pipe. Insert that. Now remember, you can buy that in 8-foot and 10-foot sections. So if you're smart, you might buy 10 foot sections, cut them the width between the two PVC pipe, slide them into place. You don't have to glue them or anything. And then take that inner panel, screw it into place, and you have a very rigid lower base that will handle weight. Because remember, we're in Michigan. We get snow. Now, did I leave the ends open? Well, yes, you can. However, what I did with our greenhouse is I took leftover two by twos, that's a little heavier than the PVC pipe, but literally designing it after a quonset hut, a standard quonset hut, I took a little throw out windows from a couple of campers that somebody got rid of and put out by the road, which had louvers, made a frame to fit those at one end. I made a frame for a standard size, biggest screen drawer I could find. And you've got to make sure, remember, for height, it's got to be able to fit the space that you have with the arc of the roof, the arc of the PVC pipes. The neat thing about this is that you can use either a 2x2 or you can use PVC pipe, but you have to be willing to calculate and cut your little tapers on either end. You want to cut little arcs into the pipe. You line them up, you screw it in place on either side. And by the way, what kind of screws? I use a pan self-tapping wide head sheet metal pan screw because it offers more reinforcing. It catches more. You don't need a washer. You can put washers on them. I try to use stainless. Why? Well, because I might want to take it apart. I don't want it to fall apart right away. Amazingly enough, we had one that we put up like this for two years, and what killed it was the tornado that hit us. And even then, one of the branches had come down and crushed it and damaged it. Now parts of it did get pulled away to Oz. But considering that it had been up for two full Michigan winters, this very simple design doesn't rust, doesn't corrode, doesn't break down. You don't even care. Okay, for instance, if I wanted to get out of the weather, Michigan rain being what it is like we had the last couple days. The neat thing is that even with the ends open, this is a very efficient, simple design that allows you to put equipment, material, supplies out of sight, out of mind. Now, other tricks. What can you do? Well, number one, you can gravel the inside of the area so that you've got, again, a surface area. You want to kill off the grass if you can, scab it off, and then fill. with pea gravel or limestone or whatever you want. That's one solution. Or maybe one you want to keep in place first, but then you can put, as you collect stuff that's being thrown away, you could use pallets and pallet the floor and then cover it with a plywood or whatever materials you have. And now you have a standoff from the ground, so you're not in contact with that. You have good drainage. Again, if you do materials you don't care about, if something eventually gets tired, you just drag it all out, sort of burn it in the fire pile for the campfire, and put another batch down. So this is a very simple building. This is what we're going to be putting up at the new Fort Benning site. In fact, I've been shopping around and looking around, for instance, for $100 at one of the lumber companies here. five full cases of returned vinyl siding from a contract. They had the corrugated eave panels. They have the guide panels and the corner panel. All the cornel slips, everything I was talking about to put a little project together like this. But any I think else can be done with it too. But it's $100 for everything. And you know what's really cool? It's in like grass green. It's in a grass green. It's not in just the regular pack colors, which really isn't a problem because the colonial gray green or gray are actually great field colors. And a lot of the vinyl-siting colors that are out there that are factory standard, red's not a really good choice. Barn red isn't really needed. But the other field grade field colors or earth colors are perfect for tactical deployment. Now, one of the things I did experiment with, I used the colonial blue, I used the gray, and I used the medium loam green siding from down the road, and I created a camouflage pattern using the vinyl siding. So it disrupted it because it wasn't a solid color. Now, the colonial blue is quite dark, almost an Air Force midnight blue. So, amazingly enough, it worked quite well in the overhead cover shaded areas because it complements the variance in color and sunlight through overhead tree top cover. So, just an idea. The Norwegians use a pattern similar to this where they actually were. I don't know. They're using another pattern right now, by the way. But for their coastal defense camouflage, they use the similar camouflage color range, and it actually is quite successful. The thing is, you just never see it in the United States. You never see any of it available. And they're even patenting all their new uniforms, if you didn't know that. Nor we won't sell their present uniform to anyone. Somebody tried to make a copy, and they went after them. I should tell you something. So when I say nor they, you don't see very much because just off thousand come from there very much. So anyway, ideas. And this is simple. Two standard vinyl siding boxes, whatever size vinyl siding you get. See, you notice something here I try to do. I don't want to make any more cuts or do any special work than I have to. So the basic construction of this does not require any cutting. Even when I use the track panel, the U panels on the inside for the horizontal support, I don't cut them down. I overlap them and that creates a stronger ribbing. So even though they're 8 foot, they're going to be actually only need, say, 10 foot or I need 12 foot or whatever, I don't cut them off. I actually overlap them and screw both of them right into the beam, into the 1 by PVC pipe. Anyway, ideas, we're going to get out of the way though because militia town hall is coming up next. More ideas are going to be presented here. God bless our republic. Get to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the march of both day and night going to Bowtas to get glock bags for under seven dollars. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. By the way, real quick, vital sighting, you got a buddy or a company or friend you know that does vital sighting, they almost always have a field full of the leftovers behind the barn. You go check to see what's there. You might find everything you need for free because he's a buddy. And they usually end up with so much of it they start throwing it away. Hint, hint, hint. Don't let that happen. Anyway guys, we're gonna get a little away from now. Edward's coming up, you guys, it's your program, and we'll be back at 8 o'clock on the Indian Toe Report. God bless. Bye bye. More than once we've just found But you've always been praying Most of it There's times I think you just lied To five and pray I lose to see a day When you say I might be right I'd rather kill you Listen to your honor But you've always been waiting Gentlemen, this is the Intelligence Report, third hour. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory. Oh, right. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, south, northwest, east, and southeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. We want to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there, no matter what body of water you're on. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. Want to say hi to Slovakia, because you guys do a lot of rebroadcasting, including conventional internet other technology, which I think is really fascinating. So thank you guys. We appreciate that. It is Friday, Cinco di Amo Day and Quartermaster Friday. It is the 10th of May. We are at the end of the first third of the month of May being gone. 16th year of Open Obvious, an Ayerface Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K, 2024, Older Calendar, 2024. Battle for the Republic, Book One, The Dance of Swords. And we've got a guest here. We've got Dave Stone. Dave, what's been happening? What's jumping off the wall in your neck of the woods, sir? Well, I just wanted to come back up tonight. And after a conversation last night, I got information that the RBSN and the 12th Chief Directorate is in Venezuela. That is the Russian Strategic Rocket Forces. So like we was talking last night, they're on the move. They're getting everything prepared. One of the parts of the information to come out is we have moved a bunch of our nuclear artillery shells towards Ukraine, if not possibly into Ukraine. So we are getting close to what could be a really dark nuclear winter. So I just wanted to pass that along tonight that the certain forces that you've got to look for are now being mentioned and they are on the move. So keep your eyes open, people. NATO's not saying a whole lot. NATO's moving a whole lot of stuff. We do know that. And I mean, we are the provocateurs here. You know everything I'm reading, everything coming down the pipe so that we're going to try and push some buttons and we want to get this done before October. That way again they have a disruption of the election, which is the whole real purpose, well multiple purposes. Number one, the interference with the activities that they had planned in Ukraine were actually It was a massive crime combine operation. It's where all of the kosher mafia's dark operations were centered. Needless to say, let's not forget the biological weapons laboratories in country. There's a lot of other technology. You've seen what could be under your feet, just with one little older arsenal that was being controlled by Ukraine that literally goes on for miles. And that's one that you're allowed to know about because, well, the Russians kind of took back control of the area. And everybody went down into the basement to look to see what's laying around. Well, that's the older stuff. What do you think's happening in other locations? Well, and also, let's keep this in mind. The only friend we've had in South America is Colombia. And we've been working hard in diligently sending troops down into Colombia to protect their drug trade down there. Well, Colombia has now decided that maybe they don't want us. So the only ally we had in South America, we are losing. So everything in the south of us, everything from the Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California border south, hostile territory to American forces. We have peed off the world and we're a certain seed exact, you know, what's coming about with it? So, again, in the process they brought in 10 million op-produced from the same nations and others for the purpose of creating a crisis in the United States. They will point at it, the kosher mafia that's manipulating the situation. will then of course tell you through the FBI that, well there's a possibility of an attack like, okay don't tell me about that, I'm not even interested because there has been no operational security on the border. If there is no operational security on the border, I don't care how you scream, well yeah, there's a threat now. Any threat that was created was created by the US government, the Israeli government, the Israeli NGOs that are coordinating the invasion of the United States to create the problem. The Hegelian dialectic thesis, antithesis, synthesis, create the problem, demonstrate the problem, and come up with a solution people otherwise wouldn't accept, which is going to be for demanding a bigger police state, even though we have a big police state that absolutely did nothing but sit on its hands. Why do we need a bigger police state? The one we have is an absolute worthless turd. It sure as hell isn't protecting us. It seems to be doing everything it can to put, oh wait a minute, what did the FBI director say? Oh, America is at risk. So the FBI, Federal Marshals, ATF, any alphabet soup agency that's working right now is fully cooperating with foreign operatives to create a crisis on the American border and throughout the United States and they transported these turds all over the country. to create a demonstrated crisis that should not exist and if they'd done their job would not exist. Well, keep that in mind. But now we have a very different situation and again the order of battle outside the country is going to become more unique as the days go by. So, one of the considerations here at Nuclear War Survival, as we've said, you can get it as a PDF. There's a number of different ways off the Internet. We have it in the scroll. We have it in the scroll over at our Gilded section of Liberty Tree Radio. If you go over there to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, you can look at the link. Go to Gilded. the entire file for nuclear war survival is in there and this is all proven technology. Now remember when he did that book he did it utilizing improvised at last minute you know say crisis scenario. Guys you've got time maybe not much time But you have time, so there's no reason for you to have to improvise, but rather find the proper materials from whatever resources. I recommend going to Facebook, because there's a lot of stuff in there for free. Seriously, there's a whole section of nothing but free now that's been there for a while. And you can pick up cement blocks. You can pick up garden stones. There isn't any reason for your a fallout shelter or quote-unquote blast shelter if you want to get really sophisticated. It's not difficult to put together but do a much better job than even is described in nuclear or survival, the manual. And it is over at Liberty Tree Radio so you can pull it and I recommend you print it out because computers won't be of much use. So you need to print it out. Go ahead Dave. Oh, I'm just kind of... Another thing that I've got information on looking for is we just got kicked out of Niger. And the Russians have occupied Niger and they said that they've got some filters out there looking to see what the Russians are going to do with that military base because remember Africa's untouched whole region. What kind of stuff is going to come out of Africa? Remember we're headed there as well. And remember we've got Africans coming across our southern border in vast numbers to complement every other country that's coming in here. But I think our enemy is sending everybody across the border if they can possibly send. And our idiots in DC know this. And I don't care whether it's got a D by their name or an R. They all know it. And they're all in on it. Because they all figured they're going to be big Tommy's. But remember, there's only two kinds of Tommy's. There's the Tommy at the top, and then there's starving Tommy's. And the first thing that they do is whenever they come in is, well, they kill everybody that helped them get there. Why? If you're not loyal to your own country, well, it makes me think you're going to be loyal to me. And all these idiots are just stupid, and they're falling for that trick. So. Whatever. But we need to be prepared. We better dig our heels in and get ready for the worst scenario that we could possibly think of. And if it don't happen, hot diggity dog, then we're just that much better off. One of the things real quick, since we're discussing radiological threat, there are little details or little things always to remember. Remember that you want to make right angle accesses into fallout or bomb shelters. that way because things don't turn corners, not very well anyway, and radiation doesn't turn corners. So if you have a barrier or obstacle, number one, before the entrance, something that literally blocks it, and then the entrance comes in perpendicular to the actual entrance, kind of like an L, it's recommended you actually do what is more like a Z, or what, I won't say a Z, like a lightning bolt, okay, straight, right, then straight again. But at the end of that straight, even where that is an indirect access point to the entrance to your fallout shelter, you want to put an additional barrier. Dirt, rock, you can use sandbags, whatever you got. You can fill objects with earth, with dirt, just like, again, square sandbags. Military uses old ammo crates. And sandbags or ammo cans. We have so many of them in an area, they just start using them as they're available, and they usually are. So they stack and rack those, and it's a quick, much firmer solution. But the big thing is, again, to put material between you and the fallout. That's the most important aspect of this. No matter what, more junk is better. And an aggregate sand gravel is best, but whatever you got, like we said, they call them sand bags for a reason. So whatever you have available, run with it. But make a point of sitting down right now, look at where it is you'd like to do this. You can actually build it in your basement. You can make it as extensive or less extensive as needed. What's nice about newer houses is they have oversized basements to begin with, so in reality you can build a fully upright, comfortable block house fallout shelter inside most houses. Nobody will even have a clue it's there and that's where you make your pantry. That's where you make your food storage. So it's doubled up. The only consideration is water, and you certainly want sanitation. You've got to remember, whatever goes in is going to come out. So you better have a solution for that one, and then carry on with the mission, as they say. Another thing about going to our gilded scrolls is we do have a lot of other material in there. I recommend you go through. There are subcategories to the gilded section of Liberty Tree Radio. Different subjects are covered. You might want to take a look to see what else we have on the shelf there. And again, the reason it was posted there so you could take it. Please take the time. We haven't talked about this enough. Get it. Grab it. Drag it away. Reproduce it. Share it with everybody you can. Get on with life. There's lots of things that, you know, again, we may not have a whole lot of working knowledge on, but somebody else has already done all the work. All you've got to do is duplicate what they've produced. pay attention to the instructions and you probably get along just fine. Most important here again too is the bad guys have nothing waiting for you. The government are the bad guys. They are not our friends. They are planning on trying to get us killed. So that means when the time comes we are going to be butchering their ass too. You know that just as well as I do. Everybody better understand it. Our plan, get rid of them. Why? Because they are trying to kill you. You had Carrie's daughter saying, oh, we're going to kill three billion people for the New World Order. That's them, not me. And of course, that twit and that fool should just clump it like a baby seal and throw it over in the pile with the rest, which should happen, or feed it to the fish farm so that the fish are fed. The fish can be harvested, and we'll market them to somebody else. I don't think I'm eating those fish, but we can market them to somebody else. It's preferably overseas. The other consideration here, too, is with the other activities that we're seeing, a massive amount of information being released that demonstrates beyond a shadow of a doubt just exactly how corrupt these creatures are. Their logic is they're going to get away with it, but because it's a planned disaster, in the confusion, you won't know any better. And that's not going to be the case. Too many people now know who's who in the zoo. They know their names personally. And that is, the battlefield is not going to change for them. They are not going to be able to jiggle everybody's finger and go over, you know, point overseas and go, let's go kill them. Oh, let's see, oh, you came to Russia, Iranian stadiums. No, it's not going to work that way. A lot of people are obviously not running. Has anybody seen any man rush on the recruitment centers because the Israelis don't like the fact that somebody is using harsh language? Has anybody seen any massive wave of recruiter fulfillment? No. Why? Because everybody knows exactly what's being said is true. All these plods are our enemy. They're not our friends. These characters have every intention of trying to lord over us. They believe their feces doesn't stink, yours does. And they plan on sending all of the 70-year-olds to go fight Mark. Seriously. Yeah. They really do. I really do. I've had three you-could-join-now postings, cards that have come in the mail, or folders that have come in the mail. And the picture on the front is a guy, probably my age, wearing a set of ACU camouflage with a patrol cap with a beard, a gray beard. And if you're over 60, you can still join the military. You can still participate. And it's like, OK. Now, it doesn't mean I can't fight. I guarantee I will, but I'm not fighting for them ever. I know better. Only I'll be doing is putting the boat in their ass. I have no intentions in any way, shape, or form of letting this POS dictate any part of my life anymore. That's done. So the only thing we're waiting for is a jump off. When that happens, the guy's the limit. I'm in all sphere in love and war, and I'm in both. And I'm sure as hell not going to be showing any love to them. So what we have to be watching for is the tells here because It's obvious to try to let whatever they've brought into the country get away with pretty much anything. And everybody is seeing this now. The illegals they've brought in have created an extensive crime wave that while they claim, oh, crime is down. It's right out of George Orwell's 1984. Whatever is really happening, they're saying just the opposite. And so again, for everybody, this will tell you that the writing is on the wall. It's done. Whatever the date is, that's the issue. What date are they going to throw the dart at? They've been moving around the state here in Michigan. We know there's been a lot of stuff going on in different places, in middle state, east and west side. But we're not the only state where stuff is happening, where the activity is taking place. They realize that there are certain states that they're simply, well, looking like most of them, that they're just not going to have the control that they were hoping for. So they're trying to recruit minions now, trying to go out and see who they can find that might be a soft brain. But even there, the numbers that they're trying to recruit are infinitesimal. They're tiny by comparison to the resources the Patriot movement has. American people in general. If the American people get pissed but don't necessarily know exactly what direction to travel except well towards the politicals and just randomly deal with them without thinking too much, they don't have enough bodies to protect the peons, the middle management, or the upper management. And the upper management will be unassing the AO, leaving the idiot sticks behind very, very quickly. But the rest of them, oh, they're upper grabs. They cease to exist as an issue, and that's the part that they're, someone we're just now realizing that everybody's looking at them the same way as a perishable, expendable, minor obstacle towards freeing the country, which is how everybody better be thinking right now. Another thing, and yesterday we were talking about chemical protection, I will probably spend a day this week talking about improvising because we have discussed it before but we've done pieces and I was thinking about this since we did have the discussion that we had that we actually need to go talk about them, you know, what can we do? The most important thing, even though we can improvise even a mask, I could, yeah, I've seen all kinds of home bills and they do work but why do that when you have an excellent product for a minimal cost on the shelf that is highly serviceable? So again, right now, whatever you choose, if I say a certain mask, some idiot sitting next to you is going to say, well, that's not right. It's this. If I say this, it'll be that. It doesn't make any difference. Well, here's how this works. Whatever floats your boat, suits your needs, based upon whatever criteria somebody has come up with in your regimen, it works. Because pretty much every gas mask out there is workable. The mask is not what makes the protection. It's the filter system, guys. So the most important thing is to have additional filters and to progressively be able to upgrade your filtration system. Older masks simply require, well, could use, but do not require for a lot of the different agents, a new filter. That's it. Other than understanding the basic maintenance of the masks, most masks out there are readily serviceable in dealing with the threat. So figure out what you're going to do there, but that's the product base. Everything else, boots you can improvise, or you can change out to other items. Chem suits, if you don't have them, you can make them. With regard to the hoods even, in the same situation. If you look at how a basic hood is built, yes, we can fabricate or, again, improvise, adapt, and overcome different materials. and make a serviceable hood. But the mask is the core component. Rubber gloves are rubber gloves. Now, some rubber gloves are porous. They do have micro holes. You don't usually notice it until you do a lot of wet work. And you realize the inside of your glove isn't just sweating. It's probably got a little bit of a pinhole leak. This is why the military went to very specific industrial spec gloves. for nuclear, biological, and chemical. And while they used to be out there in forests for pennies, that's not the case anymore. They're still out there. They're just not as cheap as they were. But they are a solution if you can find them. So all of it can be done. But get a gas mask. Get spare gas masks. At least do that. If you can't find or figure out what to do with the rest, that's something you can catch up on. There are things that can be done. But the gas mask, to get a good, a decent, serviceable mask, there are many good options right now available off the shelf, ready to roll. So pick a direction, jump on that, and you'll ride with that puppy. But get it done. That's the thing you need to get done. Your costs will be anywhere from $20 to $40 to $50. If you want to buy a brand new mask out of the box, you'll be spending $150 to $250 to $300 or $350 right now. And you can spend more. You can spend whatever money you want on a product. People will be willing to charge it, charge it for it. It may not be worth what they're charging. They'll charge you that a lot if you think a lot makes a difference. The big thing is the mask is serviceable. And unless it's dry rotted or crinkled or been hammered or cut with a blade, pretty much they're intact. So, again, take a look over there. You can go to budk.com, budk.com, budk.com. That's a knife company. Yep, they do side bars, surplus, and all kinds of things. You can also go to mainmilitary.com, mainmilitary.com. And in addition to that, you've also got colmans.com, colmans.com, colmans.com. As usual suspects, also don't forget Sportsman's Guide. Yes, they do have all kinds of stuff on the shelf and most everything they have is serviceable. They have the disclaimer, you know, for party, hearty favor use only, you know, not to be considered a safety item, etc. That's for the sake of, again, people who are ambulance chasers. Not that there's any reason you'd need an ambulance or would be calling an ambulance for wearing one of those gas masks. You might think you could if you didn't have a gas mask when the time comes. That's embarrassing. But then again, you only have three or four or five minutes and you don't need to worry about an ambulance. You cannot breathe. You will not go far. So again, heads up. Let's make sure we got the technology squared away. Last but not least, and not the least for sure, is gunpartscorp.com. gunpartscorp.com and they have the M1 Serbian mask, brand new old inventory unissued. It's in the plastic, it comes in the filter, it comes in the bag, it comes in the mask. It's everything in one package. That's your basic system right there. And those are about, right now I think they're $19.94. But let's just say $20. But that's a reasonable price for a very serviceable unit. And they have spare filters, since it takes the 60 millimeter filter, the old NATO standard. There are masts available. And also, if you're going to get one of those M1s slash UGO, a copy of the 9 millimeter, it's actually a finished made mask. You want to get the adapters that are available that drop from 60 down to the 40 millimeter. Now you cover every filter system out there that's basic right now. You can use all of your 60 millimeter filters as needed, but you can also switch out to the 40 mil if they're available, and it's a personal flavor choice there, and then carry on with the mission. So that works out pretty well. We are at the bottom and for everybody out there want to say hi to all of our friends again on WBCQ the planet 6.160 regular shortwave and If you can take the time break out your radio tune in if you got an AM FM shortwave and tune in to 6.160 regular shortwave And give us some feedback. Send me an email at liberty at provide.net. Liberty at provide.net. And when you get there, just let us know. I don't need to know your address. But if you can tell me approximately what state you're in, where you are, what country, if you're overseas, all of that will help. And we do have a lot of people listening overseas, so we appreciate that. And this will be a way for us to get, again, you give us a wink and a nod and we've got to figure out where we might want to spend more money, depending on the situation. The 8 o'clock hour is the only one that makes sense. It is the first hour for, I think, 6.160 regular shortwave. It is, again, we're getting into summer months. So progressively, propagation is up and down. And the 8 o'clock hour has always been the borderline hour, where typically, as you get later into the hour, it becomes stronger and stronger and stronger. So expect that. So you want to test it out at different times. Somebody asked me in an email, are we going to pick up, or do we have an alternate frequency through the winter months? As far as I know, we're not going to change. We do have, sponsors have to get their donation money into WBCQ. So first we've got to make sure that the bills are covered for this frequency. And that's something that's happening right now. It's just everything usually gets into hiccups. We know how that works. But again, picking up another frequency, I would say we'd have to have more sponsors. And I could go out and recruit because that would be possible. But again, we get enough to keep us busy as it is. I would point out, again, today we just sent out a large flock of the Florida disks, in addition to that. A number of different manual requests were made. I didn't get the math done to crunch the math to make a good package. I will do it by Monday because I've got the weekend. But pulling all the manuals together, checking the present prices, and the idea is what we'll do is offer a manual package. You'll have one of everything except for the rifle marksmanship manual. I'm going to include two, and I'm going to make that part of the cost, obviously. two of the range books, for two different shooters. Now, my recommendation is to copy these immediately, because that's the one thing you're going to need more of. Now, if you want to order them from us, that's fine. But all of these things can be photocopied and reproduced in your own backyard. You could do printing off of your personal computer machine. Take your pick depending upon need. and availability, you might have reams of paper. I've got several, I've probably got 30, 40,000 reams of photocopy paper that we've collected. I've got a lot of paper. When the time comes, we're going to be switching to that from what we're doing with the computer. For obvious reasons, the computer won't be available. So we have to be able to reproduce and generate what we need for training and for other administrative purposes. We're not going to be super paper pushers, but there is a certain amount of administrative work involved. in operations. And again, some things, for the sake of training purposes, we need duplicates. So you need to be thinking ahead on that too. Also, oh, by the way, somebody's asking, hold on here. OK, a short list is the manuals include the Rifle Marksmanship Manual, two of the range books, the individual range books for logging and recording your performance. The Anti-Armor Manual, Book 1. The SOP, which we're just going to put one of those in. This is supposed to be for a single person packet, but they can expand on it as they choose. And there will be a number of other disks. And perhaps one other manual. I have to look to see how many we have for the moment, because the printer is behind. And what happened, we have a A couple of units that have requested hundreds of the SOPs, which is throwing her work over in that direction right now, SOPs and the anti-armor manuals. So I've got a Ohio militia unit that's requested a big chunk of material, and it's going to eat up some time. This is what I've said about time and distance. But I think I have enough so we can do so many packets. On Monday, I'll start quoting it the first hour. And then into the second and into the third. And I'll keep repeating it next week. And whoever wants to pick up on this, the idea is that we can also do a little bit of a fundraiser for Liberty Tree Radio in the process. So yep, it's going to be a little more. Printing is not cheap. Disc work, even. Discs, CDs, and DVDs have gone up in price, not down in price. Most people won't realize that. The good thing is I scavenge everywhere wherever I find caches.
