Summary
Mark Koernke discussed preparedness strategies including vehicle selection for post-collapse scenarios, emphasizing older pre-1970 vehicles with points-and-condenser ignition systems that lack electronic controls. He covered specific vehicle recommendations (Ford Falcons, Dodge M880s, Chevy trucks, Jeeps, diesel options), maintenance and parts availability, manual transmissions, and alternative fuels. The show also addressed financial collapse indicators including gold prices, currency devaluation, and banking scams, along with commentary on armed citizens stopping mass shooters, government deception, and the need for community defense preparations.

In a faraway place, the machines are running all night, where the weavers and cutters test each stitch to see that they're woven in tight. Each strand and each thread is tested in true, while the knots are woven by hand. And on each rope, there will be a name of one who has betrayed his land. Our leaders have forgotten the oath that they took when they swore to protect and preserve. Our freedom and rights and religion too, in whatever church we serve. They lined all their pockets and deceived the people, and most went along with the flow. But tempers are short, and the memories are long. Each name the people will know. When each rope is finished, it's tested for strength, and packed in a bag with a hood. And upon the bag is the name of a traitor, who did his country no good. Some day we will hear that Nuremberg plea when the hour is drawing near. I was only doing what I was told, another lie, I fear. And for those of you who don't believe, be around when the party begins. What next will be stretched and cries will be heard and the traitors will sway in the wind. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations this legacy we gave in this the land of the free and home of the brave The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedoms gone your courage lost you're no more than a slave in this the land of the free and home of the brave You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame number. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths. They've sworn and your daughters visit doctors so their children Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right. And pray to God that the torch of freedom burn bright, as I awoke he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? As a matter of fact, who are my guardians, but also our mech unit here nearby in 2025. And again, terrible angels. That's what we are. Terrible angels. Don't ever forget that. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the... The first hour of the Intelligence Report, I mark Corn Key, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, south, east, northwest, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. And we're on satellite because of all the many allies that we have out there who have done so much to listen in and then rebroadcast and log in digital. We are on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States and it is Thursday. A crisp air but burn your hind end down sunny day. I'll tell you what, if you're in the sun you're gonna get burned. But that cool air out of the north counter balances it and to be quite honest this is the most perfect roofing day you could possibly work. If I had a roofing company, oh they'd be going to town, dudes. They would be working non-stop, sun up. to sunset in this weather. It is the perfect working condition for a roofer. I'm not a roofer all the time, but I'll do it as I need to, and I certainly have. Anyway, it is the 9th of October already. It is the 17th year of open, obvious, and pissing in your face, Fabian the socialist and the Soviet. Socialist Occupation of America with a K 2025 Old Earth Calendar 2025 Battle for the Republic Book 1 The Dance of Swords. And so again, pay attention, watch your back. The kosher mafia is in motion, but we have recommended something. We need to put a security umbrella around Candace Owens. Do we have a great love for Candace Owens? Well, I think she's cool, but more important, would you like to catch your enemies in motion? Would you like to be able to snag them, bag them, and tag them? How about we put a cloud around Candace Owens? Some people are already there. Some people are watching around her for the very reason we've been mentioning for quite some time. And she accepts the idea that, yes, they're probably going to try to kill her too. And of course they will, because they're that arrogant. They will make the effort to do so. But what if we can bag them and tag them and just take them somewhere else when they try? We do know the commercial venture of the Mossad and Halbshin, so would it not be a fun and entertaining experience to hunt them? just as hard as they think they're hunting someone else. Yeah, that is the direction that we need to go. So again, for those who are already in motion, well, when we do acquire, we do not call for anyone else to help. We want to keep what it is we collect. I'd say we hang them by the family jewels. Well, whatever happens afterwards is a personal flavor thing. In the meantime, though, there is a lot that can be accomplished within a very short period of time by assisting in this particular problem. We have the manpower and we also have people with sufficient experience. We know how to envelop an area and sit back and wait. And unlike all these people who have been hung in their garden shed, remember the madam that was supposed to be, yeah, she was charged and was going to disclose everything, and they found her hung in her garden shed conveniently. And of course, nobody in Florida where the Jewish mob runs the operation, nobody in government was going to question that. You know what? None of them did. So, we know what kind of creatures we're dealing with. Repeat color? I said, why don't we just, after we do that, why don't we just televise it to show the world what we're going to do? Well, televise what we've caught, I think would be entertaining. Of course, now remember, the coach from Africa would be doing everything to recover the body's breathing. We would like to be able to document their attempt. And then also, detain appropriately because they're involved in high criminal activity. So there's a lot of people that are already talking about dealing with this in other ways, but I still point out that, guys, we got lots of people. We can overlap and tag team. Candace Owens needs to have, just like we have had the underground for many, many, many years. We need a defensive screen around her, constantly orbiting, nobody just sitting, and without all the attachments of cell phones and without all of the ways that they can track you, if they aren't being used and don't exist, then it's going to be virtually impossible to be able to stop our people from doing their job. So again heads up. This is part of the program. There's a lot of people that are already in motion on this. There are a few coordinating authorities, individuals who have again seen the writing on the wall. We've all seen this before, but what say we stop this like we did in the 90s? Guys in the 90s, Patriot effort was incredibly effective. We had a lot of opportunities to neutralize a threat like this in a very positive way and we know that Candace Owens is speaking the truth. So what needs to happen is we need to make sure she can continue to speak the truth. And that means her life needs to be protected. So we're now in hunting mode. And we know all the tricks of the enemy's trade. Come on guys, let's apply our tools, the tools that we developed we need to apply. Look at this as an excellent field training exercise. something taken into consideration. This is our version of a spook and coop type field training exercise with our people applying their working knowledge. So heads up, this is in motion. Everybody is liking the idea. If we do acquire something, we'll be documenting every step of the way what they tried to do and what we won't allow them to do. So let's get to work on that one. And again, many, many overlapping concepts of how to get it done or out there. All of them will work. There is no such thing as a bad plan in this case, because right now, we just don't want Candy, someone's hanging out in the breeze, and then them doing something to her, everybody going, wow, I wish I had a V8. I think we can do a lot better. And as I promised, we will. So let's get in motion on that project. Also, again, it is Thursday. It's the other day when the government and the elements of the Mossad attacked the American people through government-sponsored terrorism and then tried to tell you somebody else did it. There is a lot of that going around even as we speak. The nonsense out in Portland, I love how, oh, this is like nothing. We've never seen this before. Guys, this crap in Portland has been going on for nigh on 40, if not 50 years. In the 90s, they were pulling the same BS, they got no national coverage, they were ransacking the city as they chose to, the communists were backstabbing, drive-by shootings, hell, they even had bombings. So as far as Trumpet cleaning it out, they just wanted to make it appear to be a little more palatable for the purpose of marketing. The only thing I'm waiting for is Trump to declare that, well, yeah, after we send the troops in, he's going to build, after he confiscates some of the lakefront property, or, forgive me, oceanfront property, or, well, waterfront property. Yeah, either way, whatever it is he can steal, he will. And then he's probably going to make sure that the Israelis have free access to the facility, whatever he builds. Because after all first you got to help your neighbor Well help your friend to go kill his neighbor so you can steal his property and put a hotel on it. You know like Gaza Which is the same garbage going on there despite any other? Yes, they're gendering right now about what's happening in Gaza There isn't anything other than the usual betrayals being written up by the turds who always break any treaty ever made you know the Israelis So again heads up We've got work to do and I don't have time to get everything done. It needs to be accomplished before they kick everything into high gear. The money supply, yes, as you may have noticed with gold. Gold has reached the 4,000 plus or minus mark. It has been bebopping right around that, but I think today, and correct me if I'm wrong, did gold scuttle up to 4,100 today? Now I heard a piece, and it was part of a little background report that was on the radio, but I didn't get back in time to actually do any kind of study on this to see whether or not that's taken place. Again, it's been at 3,997 to 4,000, what was it, 2,000, 4,000, whatever. It's broke 4,000. It's been right there hovering. But if it pulses to the first 100, That's an indication that the devaluation of the currency is hyper extending right now. This is going to be bad. Now, it doesn't mean we don't know this. If you've looked at the shrink-flation packages at any of the stores, what do I mean by that? Well, it's not just the fact that the stuff has gone up in price. It's the fact that you also get left in whatever package when you pay the price. And that is happening right now across the board. There is a bunch of other money dumping that's in place that's afoot. If you didn't catch the recommendation today, and by God, stay away from this, the idea of high interest rate, quote unquote, high risk conventional banking accounts. This is the same stuff that they did just before the Great Depression hit. It was the last gasp on the part of the ring knockers and the spit swappers moving money around and trying to get the last of the mattress money into the system before the collapse. So that definitely is what they're trying to pull right now. They're trying to pull as much money into the system. That's what these no-tax scam bank instruments are, I've tried to explain. IRAs, remember when they first came out? Oh man, they were super enticement because it was this really good interest rate level with note, they were tax free. Once the program hit that two year mark, all of a sudden all that mattress money was flagged by the Fed, they changed all the rules, and all of a sudden it was, oh by the way, they know where your cash is now too, the cash you did have that was safe. And now they're going to tax every dollar they think you might possess because you already demonstrated it in terms of a banking instrument. Well, that's what they're doing right now because remember, you will own nothing and be happy. Well, you won't be happy, but shut up and be happy or they'll puke you like they always claimed they will do. What is the threat of the government with regard to illegitimate taxation? They will kill you. They promise they will they've got people with guns and they will try to kill you well They will kill you if you let them get away with it if unless you arm up and then help them to understand that them first if it takes place so again Pay attention this particular action on the part of the banks and the Fed especially allowing it. This is the same garbage. They pulled right at the edge of the Great Depression Same scam different century now. They figure wait long enough. Everybody's gonna be stupid. No one's gonna have a clue Nobody will remember they won't give you any historical reference to this They can't if they don't if they do you won't fall for the rest of the BS and They won't be able to steal whatever last digits they can now an interesting thing about with such slide sideways on stealing and theft the Feds, apparently with the massive wave of Social Security scams that they were running with the illegal aliens, which are still taking place and Trump has not stopped. Why hasn't he stopped it? Well, the reason is that all this stuff is tied into the straw man bonds. And if they pull tens of millions of illegal aliens who were given illegitimate Social Security numbers, They collapse the fake money mechanism through the bond market on your name. Not so much your name, because it ain't your name on the accounts, but all of these illegitimate bank accounts, these bond accounts that were made with all of Juan and Verghese and the specios and Uchao Dung Dung Cai Bang and all these other characters. Guys, the mechanism that they have set up is the ultimate in collapsing, quite easily, the ultimate tool for collapsing the straw man bond structure. So they're set to collapse that and rake in that cash outside the country at the same time. This is what the Jews have been doing with all of the USAID money scams, all of the tax dollars that have been sent to Israel. Hell. Repeat, repeat ad nauseam. The purpose is to milk out of the United States as many of the digits as possible before the collapse. Again, like the Great Depression, if you had a dollar you could eat, if you had a $20 bill, you would starve. And right now, you won't even be able to do that. The devaluation is Weimar Republic level right now. What was the price of gold 10 years ago? What is the price of gold now? And all of this is because of the USAID milk money that took place plus, don't forget, we have this massive amount of currency that was shifted out of the country with the other surreptitious actions that step by step by step are designed to destroy the Ponzi scam that we call Social Security. It's interesting that this can be tracked back right now directly to New York. And interestingly enough, there was a shill or tear-shill of fictional accounts that were created in New York. that have been used for this second tier handling of any money that was going through Social Security. Trump has not fixed this. They can't fix it. Again, if they were to fix it properly, it means that these accounts need to be destroyed. They need to disappear. But all these spit swappers and ring knockers and all of these parasitic turds are busy milking off of these accounts a massive amount, a massive amount of interest. It's all going right over to hyphen Tel Aviv right now as we speak. Of course, Trumpette so far up there asked couldn't pull us out with a crowbar of his life, depending on it. If he did, that orange patina he had would be kind of pasty brown with little chunks of bagels and blanched juice all over his cheeks. So, again, pay attention. Do not, do not, do not put your money into any of these instruments, these mechanisms that they're promoting. They're tempting, but they are the, they have no guaranteed structure. This is the first problem involved with these things. Number one, no guaranteed structure. The money is being managed from outside the United States. Again, one of the nation states that is participant in it is Spain. And I think this has popped up over and over again over the last several years. When they've set up these shill or milking operations for American currency or accounts, Spain is right in the middle of this almost every time. So I cannot emphasize enough for almost all of you out there listening that if you can, You need to be shifting your digits sideways into either assets that are tangible, food, ammunition, whatever, but at the very least putting most of your money into your digits, into currency slash cash for the moment. In that last gasp, when they try to fold the tent on the country, the idea is to then take whatever's left and is in the shortest possible period of time translate those digits over into some form of physical product. That's the only thing that's going to save any of the digits you have. And well, you need to put it into money of some kind. No, gold would be good, but most of you, OK, guys, what's gold at right now? What's the price of gold today? Go look. How many of you can walk into that or buy into that right now? Anybody? You think you can? Do you have the shekels? You got the resources to do that? Most people are shaking their head right now. Well, no. In fact, I don't think I even have the digits to match even a part of an ounce of gold in reserve with what I've got. Many people are already in that situation. So it is a fascinating concept. You know, gold, you'll get into gold, well, with what? What asset slash resource do you have that you can transfer over into that venue? Most people don't. Whatever little you do, the first thing everybody's going to tell you is, well, I have to make the bills. Well, if they collapse the tent, and they obviously are trying to, then the bills won't make much difference. The most important thing is, are you able to feed yourself? Will you be able to take care of your personal needs? Food, medical support, again, some fuel would be good, but that's going to only last so long with the system, the way it's set up right now. And then that's in. That'll be ended. I can't emphasize enough that one of the physical assets I highly recommend that you invest in right now, I just missed a Ford Falcon for $2,200 that was fully functional, a 170 engine, carbureted with a points and condenser system because, well, it's a 66. If you have an older vehicle that you can hit on like that in your area of operation, I highly recommend it. It eradicates the AI aspect that everybody's yapping about. Oh my god, AI is going to find you. No electronic ignition, points and condenser, no electronic connection to any system whatsoever, no tracking tech, nothing. Literally, it's a ghost. And that is something, again, also that can run off any number of different fuel types that we can produce. That is the kind of vehicle, if you can access in the next couple of days or weeks, I highly recommend you do it. And again, Ford Falcon was a perfect combination. That 170 cubic inch engine, guys, was a fuel sipper. In fact, it's one of the engines they wanted to see discontinued when they started the fuel crisis because it was a pre-1970 fuel efficient engine. Very reliable. In fact, I put 300,000 miles on the 170 that I had and the car that I had, 310,000. And a car engine made at the end, 170 cubic inch, the 170 six cylinder inline. Okay, I worked on the mechanic back in the 70s. I did hundreds of tunups and you name it. But I'm saying, look at these cars, man. Today. These half-breed, hybrid pieces of junk, the trucks and the cars. I mean, my God. There's no direct connection to the steering, the brakes, or the throttle. Right. I mean, what the... They could easily take over control of your vehicle. by remote control. We don't know what's in the other tracks. Oh, we know it is. Absolutely. That is what's coming. That's why, again, the most important thing here is that, guys, the parts for the moment, the critical parts for the vehicles we're talking about, including tie rod ends, suspension components, are still available for these vehicles. So this is a priority. First of all, invest in the vehicle. Second, invest in what we were talking about before, the shopping list of parts, etc., to keep the vehicle running. Is this a long haul solution? Well, yeah, to a degree it is. Because right now... You don't want that kind of crap. I watch these things, they stop at lights and the engine shuts off. There's a big hesitation. The steering doesn't seem to be as precise. I'm watching you guys and I'm like, this is crazy. You're going to get rear ended at lights. I mean, come on. I've done a tow truck for four years. I saw a lot of wrecks. Well, especially with, again, with these designs and this system, what we're talking about is a solution. Because the problem is already presenting itself. It's before us right now. We're going to have to step out of the system to a degree. Step one is a bridging program. Step two would be actually looking at new manufacture and reproduction of certain systems. And by the way, here's what's really cute. If we actually could still operate CNC, which therein lies the rub, because that's computer-based also, don't forget. and relying upon subprocessor or, and forgive me, subprogramming systems that they've already looked at wanting to be able to manipulate. That's why they wanted to get everybody into computer, you know, CGI and CAD systems years ago. It was hoping that they could control the system by controlling the software. Oh, by the way, they did. Most companies that used original computer design systems thought that when they bought the next generation, they were just going to keep all of the software that they had to run the next system coming up that they purchased for multi-million dollars, many millions of dollars. Turns out that when they started using the software, the parts were off in production. They could not correct the program. So they ended up where they thought they were saving money because they were told, oh look, this is going to be cheaper. What happened is they ended up actually having to spend millions of dollars buying now new proprietary software. They should have seen this coming. They should have known that they were being lied to, but they bought into it. So a bunch of companies did two things. Either A, they invested a whole lot of money that they didn't plan on spending, or they went out of business. Now, a lot of that hit during the COVID window. And so guess what happened? A lot of those companies did go out of business. So the thing we need to look at is, remember, the technology base running in any window of time, of course, centers around the existing manufacturing capabilities of the era. And for that reason, take a look at a single-barrel carburetor. In fact, go back to a much earlier age. The Model T or Model A carburetor is really a relatively efficient tool. There wasn't a need to change it if you were looking at a standard vehicle that was utility purpose, designed for use every day. You weren't drag racing with it. You were living with it. See, that's like everything else I've been talking about here recently. Whenever you hear people talk or argue about things, It's based on the idea that somehow you needed to drag race something, or you had to make it hotter. Example, I want to talk about ammunition. That's the biggest thing is, well, I want to beef it up, but I don't want to roll it back. I want it bigger. I want it better. I want it faster. Well, I do too. But you know what? For 99% of what I'm doing every day, I won't say putzing along, but that's what my dad used to say. For just putzing along, You know what? It does just fine. All it's got to do is get you from A to B. Sometimes fairly close, so it really doesn't make any difference. It doesn't have to go fast. And again, people go, well, yeah, I want a charger. I always wrote the Mad Max movies, a Ford Mustang made in Australia, or a Dodge Challenger, or an old one, not a new one, because I need more body to bump people with, right? And in reality, those are nice cars. I have right now, looking below me, I have a 73 charger sitting right now only about 30 yards away from me. I'm looking down and it writes gold, by the way. Ain't nothing fancy back when it was made, but it's kind of like you said in Indiana Jones. See the swatch, Dr. Jones? It cost me $10 at the local mark here. Bear it in the sand, come back a thousand yards later, and it's worth a fortune. It's priceless. Well, it's kind of what happens with the not as popular versions of whatever car that's, you know, Mopar or Ford or whatever. Before, they weren't as exciting. But now, try and get one. Now, oh, an Opinium price. I paid $275 for that charger. It's not worth too, it's worth a lot more than $275. It's not worth just $275 now, is it? So that vehicle is not exactly what I'd be aiming for. Now it's nice if you got one and it can be points and condenser. It's a great car. Would I be running it all the time? No, I still would like that Falcon. You wonder why? I might need the charger for some real, you know, ham work. I'm going to save it for when I need it. I'm not going to run the end out of the vehicle that might be my pursuit car when the time comes. Good. I noticed the last 10 years All the old cars just disappeared. My dad still has like an 80 town car, but you go out west, they still got a lot of them. There's this thing that started in Chicago called Cars for Kids. Is that right? You know donate your car? Well they had the cash for a long time too. Yeah, yeah, right. They had that too earlier. Okay, let's not forget the old bumping scam which was designed to destroy all of the earlier era of cars and was nothing more than a replay of what the Clintons originally were told to do and what eventually they tried even under Bush which was to get rid of every vehicle before 89. Yeah, and we know that we come commercial now is completely across the country I just came back from California and I could hear on other radio stations cars for kids cars, you know cars, okay, it's like I'm like what the hell thing? You know same same Well, if you one thing if the vehicles went into service, but that's not what they were doing with the cash for clunkers They were destroying the vehicles remember A whole bunch of people, we have dealerships right down the road are gone. They had whole piles of their cars that when Obama promised that he had this whole Cash for Clunker program in play and you didn't have to sell that car, government was going to give you money, the car dealership money for the car that you destroyed, but you had to beat up the body. Literally, this is what they were told to do. We got dealerships out here. Well, like I said, a couple of them, it hurt them bad enough that they almost closed down. But others, they had to fold up completely. They drank the Kool-Aid. They listened to what government said. And they were told to put sand in the engine and run the engine until they blew it up. They then had to either A, damage every quarter panel and surface area and break every glass on the car. Or, like the one down the street here that only what, two or three years ago, finally shipped out what they did is they brought a car crusher in. And this was acceptable too by their plan. They crushed all of these running, functional, relatively new used cars. They did it under a cash agreement that never appeared. Guess what? They they're that pile of cars were 180 or so cars that they put in made cubes about the size of what hammer refrigerator and they stacked them up to the side of the used car lot there because they were waiting for that government money because they Be they they or it out to the government Well, you know what the government money that Obama said was in motion never appeared in All those cars that they destroyed which were cash capital. They couldn't write them off or anything So guess what they were screwed. They were totally screwed. I can't tell you how many times I don't have a junk yard to get parts. Well, how many times we used to go to and this is the other complaint from a lot of other people that man the junk yards know what I'm looking for isn't there. True. As a matter of fact in many cases and we've covered this on the air several times we have Ford's especially is horrible for this. We have Ford trucks and cars that are blessed or were only less than 20 years old, in fact some cases only 14 or 15, and literally they were totaled because they were told that there were no spare parts that could be purchased for the vehicle. The insurance company did it. They said, wait a minute, I like this truck. I have no problem. The only got to do is change the engine and there's one body part that needs to be changed out, a little quarter panel. And it's like, nope, car's totaled. Whoa, wait a minute, why? Well, the parts are not available to meet specs, especially for the engine. I will not buy one car today that has these non-steering, no brake connection. We don't have any direct connection with the brake. We don't have a direct connection with the throttle cable. It took us how many years to develop the throttle cable? I mean, the flow is. Well, the purpose is again to eventually put you on your feet. That's the idea. Well, we can't work on it if they won't allow you. Now here's the next step. This is why we need to be purchasing parts. Number one, step one, is we're going to have to use what's off our existing inventory. One of the reasons we don't get rid of the wrecks that we have if they're part of our fleet. We have a number of vehicles that we use that are very specific, and we bought a pattern model of them, one model, one type, so that if something happens, guess what? And we've already been doing this. We've swapped out an engine. I'm going to swap out a trans off the roll wreck. And actually, we still have a complete Tahoe from the same window of time as far as the manufacturer goes. No, this didn't cost us that much. In fact, we bought the vehicle. It was the sad part, as I've said many times. What we paid for the vehicle is probably one of the best prices I've been able to achieve on a vehicle of its type. And unfortunately, somebody decided they need to hit us real bad and total the vehicle out. But all the parts on it are totally interchangeable. We've already been scavenging off that vehicle to keep others running at a better level. We still have a motor in it, still have a trans in it. That vehicle is in reserve. But there's others that we've already almost completely cannibalized. When we're to the point where with the one truck wreck truck it became a trailer the back end is now a Chevy Silverado trailer that matches right up to a crew cab eight foot bed Chevy Silverado truck and the original was a Chevy Silverado 2500 crew cab eight foot bed Waste nothing. Try to keep everything online and in service for as long as we can, but we need, again, this is what we're talking about here is bridging the gap because the vehicle I just described, I understand full well it's electronic. That is something that may not even function very soon down the road. Now remember, somebody goes, oh, Phil, or Falcon, or a small car can't carry very much, guys. How much can carry out a backpack? How much weight can you personally carry? When we're looking at these types of solutions, the idea is I can still move tonnage for the moment's time or minutes worth, or however many minutes worth of time is burned in order for me to complete a task. That is the math that you need to be thinking about if they put everybody on foot. No matter what it is you have that you can put into service it will bring it will give you an advantage It will take you to a different level of performance and that's something that we all need to remember that vehicle What's not a fast vehicle? Yeah, but I can only run so fast and that vehicle will perform sufficiently to get the job done Without me running. It's amazing. I get to the other end of the activity and I'm still not out of breath It didn't take me hours to get there. It may only take so many minutes. On foot it takes longer. See, these are all math problems everybody's going to be working on real quick here and they're not going to be real happy with. And again, guys, it doesn't have to be pretty. You can make a vehicle however you want it to look. I don't want to look wealthy. Lift the hood, vehicle looks brand new under the hood. I take care of the vehicles I've got here. It looked just like they came out of the showroom. on the outside, it's maintained whenever possible. Unfortunately, you've got Michigan rust up here, but otherwise you can't tell. I don't look too pretentious because I don't want to be. It doesn't mean I couldn't be, but again, like we've told you a million times, do look like the natives. Try to look like the natives whenever possible. Smile, wave, and blend in because this situation is going to go south real fast if they have their way, but those who are thinking ahead, You are not going to be on foot. You are still going to be happy. But you're going to be happy because you have something. Not because you are happy and own nothing, even though you're not really happy, but desperately trying to smile so that the police state doesn't execute you because you allowed yourself to be disarmed and you put yourself on foot. And you did not think ahead through the situation that was obviously right before you, it was in your face. The whole situation is in your face right now. The most important thing is, again, these are simple actions. They're not violent. It doesn't hurt anybody. In fact, you'll be in a much better position, which means you'll be much happier in the long run. Prior fire for planning prevents piss poor performance, as we've said many, many, many, many times. So we need to be looking at this as, again, how many solutions can we come up with that will totally change the formula? with regard to what it is the bad guys are planning on trying to get away with. Under those circumstances, I'm going to tell you that this is going to stop them from trying to do what they think they're going to try to do. Because they're on a deadhead course. They don't have any choice now. Too much has been exposed. The kosher mafia is looked at directly. And then guys, when that happens, they kill people. Not just Charlie Kirk, they kill millions to try and get everybody back to apologizing for existing and being brain dead. And that's what we're on the cusp of. All their bullshit with a peace. The peace, love, dope, peace in our time. There isn't any peace going on right now. There's just another direction, another oblique angle before they make their effort to murder with even greater reckless abandon. betraying every and any contract they come up with because that's what they do. kosher mafia is famous for that. Anybody being baffled by this bullshit in the Middle East right now? I don't think you are. You're listening here. But there are a bunch of stupid people out there. So and again, these are the face brow wearers. All those people that were all wearing those triple face brows and everything else are now telling you, oh, they're so much wiser and smarter than you are. Yeah, yeah, uh-huh. We've seen all this before. They aren't smarter, they're not wiser. In fact, a shoe-sized IQ is a problem, but given a pad on the head and a special squeeze on the ass, so that they feel that they're above you all. Well, we gotta get past that. And again, we need to be prepared. Simple vehicles. There's pickup trucks out there. Like I said, I'm eyeballing a Dodge 1958 dump truck. that is a barn garage, it was a farm truck, it's barn stored. Not pretty, but solid. Functional, flathead, does not have points and condenser, runs forever. Like my dad pointed out, and I have had several flatheads, guys, even with a cracked head, a flathead engine will continue to run on you for tens of thousands of miles. Just make sure you keep to oiling it. Not much you can do otherwise if you don't know about phosphor valves. Another thing I'll warn you about with flathead engines you don't know anything about. But look up phosphor valves just to understand some of the special needs you have for that kind of engine. So they used to be common, not so much. This is why we're going into the later part of the points and condenser era to find inexpensive solutions that are still serviceable. Go ahead, call her, jump in there. Is that a flathead V8, 1958? Right. Typically the 58, now up until 5758, going back, yeah it's a two ton. It has a military dump on it. It was a military dump truck that got sold into the market way back when. And, you know, down here we have farmers, they'll use them until the wheels fall off, but in this case, the guy took care of the truck. It's actually in decent shape. But again, the Ford flatheads, there was no change in the basic Ford flathead from the, I'd say, early 30s, 31-32. until about 1955-56. But power plants for military application and power plants for industrial flatheads, they didn't change. So parts of compatibility with the standard Ford V8 pickup truck engine, it's all the same. I've built enough. With my dad, he's the one who was building them and rebuilding them. I'm the one who's doing all the, again, all the monkey work to keep everything running faster. But because of that, I have seen a lot and understand the flathead engine. I would not consider that my first priority, but if I ran into a decent flathead that was in good shape and running condition, yeah, I would invest in it. That would be an option. Before we went over to the present design, well, no, the present design is now a monkey screw problem across the board. Before we went to the overhead, you know, with the overhead cam change out that we did and all the other fun stuff, the flathead engines were good for anywhere from 250 to, oh hell, even 300,000 miles again if you took care of them. If you didn't ram them, if you didn't have a lead foot, you weren't stupid on your, you know, acceleration and deceleration, those vehicles will last indefinitely, and they did. That's why a lot of them are still out there. But here again, it's a matter of, can you still access parts easily? Because you need to be able to accumulate the parts quickly. Because in other words, if it's off the shelf, and a lot of the parts from the 60s to the 70s are still off the shelf, and the reason is because a lot of them are still being used in Mexico and South America, and Mexico is still producing the parts. Let me give you an example. Hold on, call it real quick. That 170 Ford engine continued to be built in Mexico and used in Mexico and it was in the Ford Maverick. Because it was in the Ford Maverick, Ford continued to build a variant on the Maverick, in fact built the Maverick in Mexico for an extended period of time, kind of like Volkswagen's in Mexico. And so while no, Mexican parts aren't the greatest, it is the case in point they continued to be produced and were accessible. So they were also affordable. It means you can continue to operate the vehicle. And a lot of fords are like that because a lot of fords, the whole fleet, they would sell the whole fleet. They collect it through the car companies, the independent car companies. They would buy a certain model, like the Ford Fairmont, and they would ship it south of the border to Mexico and Latin America. After that, they would collect them again, whatever survived, and they would ship them to Mexico. Or not Mexico, Africa, forgive me. There's a whole science and a whole method of madness to used car transfer from nation state to nation state you don't know anything about. But I shipped a few things around the planet so I got a good idea and understanding of what they were doing. And again, because of that, that's how you can also gauge what might be available for a reasonable price in the system. And right now American Ford is still in terms of being able to find an affordable backup vehicle a kind of a time I'm not still the most likely direction to go best direction to go Good color jump in there On the note of the dump truck how many cubic inches the engine block? Oh, I have to look I know it basically this this was a changeouts. It's got a Ford flathead in it as far as I know I haven't a chance to really sit down with the person who was doing the working on it. He's an older farmer, but he's still alive. And he's the one who's put it up for sale. So I've been driving by it and driving by it. And I've already broke down twice and talked to him a little bit. Now I've got to take the time to get back in there again. And it'll probably be ours within the next couple of weeks. Go ahead. Two ton dump trucks that run on gasoline power usually have a big V8 like the old school road star school bus. and the Winnebago RVs. Right. It'll have a big block in it. But it may also have, and this is where there's that overlap, those big ass sixes, inline sixes. There's a whole family of those that will run forever. In fact, you'll see them in a lot of the fire trucks back in the era through the 60s. And they're gas, not diesel. Everybody assumes that those are diesel vehicles. And in many cases, they are not. And again, that's another thing. No engineers at all. In the older ones, only trucks, no computer. That's the reason we're talking about these, because again, there's no electronics that's going to be interfered with, and that has to be in place before this shit hits the fan. Scrambling around afterwards, Here's what's going to happen, step one. People are going to realize, let's say that they use a shutdown system. No ticky, no washy. Now a whole bunch of people that are not up to speed are going to be sitting there sucking vapors and not have a clue. But there's a whole bunch of wrench heads, just like us, that we're talking about, that understand full well the concept of what we're talking about. And what's going to happen is they're going to jump on everything out there that isn't nailed down that looks like it's useful like that. And so all of a sudden there will be this swoop and a lot of this stuff will disappear. I mean, it will be gone. And you'll be hearing vehicles running around at night. They won't be stupid. They're going to be like moonshiders. You've got to get around. You're going to get around smart. Now does it mean you're still going to try and spy and mess with you? Sure they are. But I know people who run the state of Michigan here right now that haven't had a driver's license for 30, 40 years. And they drive everywhere they need to. Does it take them a little longer? Yeah, because they know every back road, they know every dirt track, they know all the connectors. And they can operate accordingly. Now most people will go into brain fart, defecate in their doors and beg for forgiveness from the police state because they got shut down. And what's our alternative now, oh Lord, oh masters. There's a whole bunch of buttlickers out there. But there's a whole lot of the people that aren't. And those people are the ones who will be able to move around. And like I said, it will be like the moonshine era. Only, and again, half of them will be running off. Eventually, will be running off more and more of the moonshine slash dills and clandestine fuel as opposed to being able to buy over the counter anyway. See, this is where you're talking about going to war. This is where you're going into conflict. Most people will be on foot, so remember, here's the other cool thing. Most of your enemy, your opposition, are dumb enough to think that somehow they're going to get some kind of special privilege, and they're out on the street just like the rest of these fools. So, they're not going to be an asset for the enemy, except, well, hopefully, I think their logic is that people get pissed because he's got a car and I don't. And he's flaunting it and he's violating the rules. So, they're going to count on a bunch of jackasses to backstab everybody else, which are the first people we put a bullet in. You start having, you start doing that routine, playing, you know, cooperating with people who are planning on putting a boot on our neck? Well, I think a lot of people are not going to be too happy with that. And so, you know, what's that sharp barking sound you hear? Well, that's that rat dying down the road tonight. Why? I don't know who did it. Don't care either. Why am I supposed to care about somebody who was trying to do everything they could to get me killed or to put me in jail and kill me by inches? Help out the state to do that. Anybody thinking that way? They're going to be gone real quick and that's another part of the world that's going to change. The attrition rate on the other side's rats and skunks, that's going to be horrific. Because a lot of people already realize that this is life or death. Well, life and death. They're going to be alive for real. They realize they're out there. Well, I mean there's gonna be a lot of people are just gonna say enough is enough and it'll it'll work out its own It'll gravitate to its own natural course There's nothing man. No one will know who who's doing it yet. We're all gonna be like What does it mean? Well, most people won't I mean it was here's the thing this is already We're on the cusp of everybody deciding to go back to the old school in a lot of different ways. That's why this AI crap will die a horrible death. There is going to be a charge. In charge of what? If all of a sudden you cut a bunch of people off, especially when everybody will realize what I've been trying to point out, guys, we all grew up without computers, without cell phones. We are typically more competent, sorry, but I will say this, we're competent within the physical world because we aren't plugged in electronic. We're using it right now, but I didn't grow up with this. And yet, everything we're talking about, I mean, it was more fun because they were physically in your hands. You were watching some video of somebody else being some kind of, you know, a fake structure, a fake image, a fake whatever, living your life. We lived and have lived and still live more in the real, tangible, physical world. So we command it. AI doesn't command the real world. First, you have to buy into the idea that that's your reality. Well, if you're stupid enough to do that, then, well, guess what? You're going to be a victim. AI controls nothing that's critical to me. Here's what's comical about this. Guys, do you think I can fly in a plane? Anybody? Anybody think Mark can fly on a plane? You think I can get on a plane? You know what the beauty of that is? The formula, the math formula is already in play that aircraft don't mean anything to me. Flying is irrelevant. Flying is unimportant. Flying is not critical to my existence. All these buffoons who mostly fly because they're out there pitter-patting into some bullshit that they're involved in, but you know, nothing that has to do with facing reality, Most of these people out there, first of all, so you can't fly. What's the problem? Oh my God, I won't be able to get out of the plane. So you don't have to fly. Now granted, they're trying to go the next step, but you won't be able to do anything, which is then when, like I said, when they create such a tyranny, going to war is fully legitimate and acceptable. And that is what we will be doing. conflict is inevitable, as I have argued. Most people are like, well no, we can do this, and we'll avoid it. Why do you want to avoid it? Well, I think you better be planning for it because they are. They're planning on trying to box you into some crazy little cage. They're planning on, you know, doing all these wicked things. Well, we better have a plan of our own, and again, totally separate from what they're doing. We've lived in the real world. They don't. We still live with our feet in the physical real world, not the bullshit of the AI existence. It's not relevant to any of you, really. They're making it relevant by telling you it needs to be relevant, but it's not relevant to you. The AI's gonna do what? Well, well, well, you won't be getting on a plane. Can't get on a plane now. Why do I give a shit about that? Well, you won't be able to go down the shopping list. What do you think I won't be able to do? Think I'm going to eat? Hell yes. Breathe? Absolutely. Now, as far as all the other important things that I have on my shopping list, I'm going to keep doing. And not only am I going to do it, but just like what happened with the face-brawl era we just went through, I kept right on doing exactly what I wanted to do. And anybody who thought they were going to, if they'd stepped in my way as far as thinking that I was going to have to ask permission, that would be their end. And this time around, now that we've learned, we already knew this, here's the thing. Did any of you listening to me believe that you didn't know what was going on all the while? They were lying to you for the two years of Antifa BLM or the two years of the Corona Beer Virus Camp. You all knew it was a lie. So there's nothing that they taught you, there's nothing you needed to have an epiphany about. We all know now, beyond a shadow of a doubt, because, oh, oh, all these other piss ants decided that they got their panties in a bunch because they got lied to. Well, we already knew that. We didn't get our panties in a bunch because we ain't wearing panties, number one. But we were ready to get rid of their sorry ass, and now that it's confirmed, we now know that we need to get rid of their sorry ass. Does everybody see the difference? And the same is true with all the rest of this garbage. Yeah, there's a whole bunch of people that are playing catch-up and, oh, I discovered this! Look what I discovered! Yeah, with the Patriot Movement and the militia has been talking about for how many decades? But, but, but, but, but we discovered it! No, not really. But you'll notice there's a bunch of people doing that. Well, you don't know, because we're special. And what we were knowing about here, oh, this is totally different from what you guys are cutting notes on. It's exactly what we were talking about. There's nothing that has been a surprise. There is nothing here that is a shock. But what it means is with clarification, and because you've provided us with that much more database in your discovery now, all it does is explain that any choice that we make, it better be the right one, and the intelligent one is to get rid of them, the ones doing it. And AI won't save their ass either. That's the one part they don't want anybody to figure out. AI is a fiction. If you're not plugged into the fiction, then you have command of reality. And since we already know how much they're lying and they've basically said, well, they're going to trick you with this and they're going to trick you with that, no, they're not. I'm not plugged into it. And I'm not listening to them anyway. And since you're now convincing me that everything they're going to do is going to be like Loki, the trickster, then absolutely nothing they say is going to be believed, or should be, by any thinking human being. Which means that, well, then I guess we're really ahead of the curve on that one too now, aren't we? Well, we're way past the top of the hour. And it is ten minutes after. But, hopefully I got your brain juices flowing because you see, we have to have solutions. Okay? We've got what? The republic? Then on Murthmarth, Richard got coffee and we'll be back with the... ...all of the info. We fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun Permits to start a business or to build a place for one On land that you believe you own you pay a yearly rent Although you have no voice in saying how the money spent Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught According to this you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You trade it in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize family farms and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic in each God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself. Good! Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the intelligence report. Yes, we are starting late. So that's going to show up in all the other repeat and historic rebroadcasts that are out there. Don't be surprised. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, north, west, southeast, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on the satellite. We want to say hi to all of our merchant marine operators out there, many more, who are rebroadcasting us, analog and digital. We are on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States. And it is Thursday. It is the 9th of October. It is the 17th year of Obenadius and In-Ear Face Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K 2025 old earth calendar. 2025 battle for the... One, the dance of swords. And it is a cool, wonderful day to work outside. I'll tell you what, if you're a roofer, I'd be having my people up there until the day ends. Sunrise to sunset. You couldn't get more comfortable work conditions. They won't last long. It's going to get bitter after a while. You know it will. It always does. So again, in the meantime, well, take advantage of what you can get done out there. Time to start bringing the plants in. That's going to be part of my cyclic work this evening, is bringing the plants. And some of them are multi-generational. They've been around with me for five, six years now. We're going to do a bunch of the pepper plants this year in what is the long run, where we're going to cut back some of them. Some that are already bearing fruit are going to continue to be set up to grow through the season. I've got a number of different ways that I do that. We now have experimented and found what is best and most successful for our purposes. And we're going to do it accordingly. So work out pretty well for us. Anyway, we were talking about vehicles. The most important thing here is pick a direction, make a decision. One cool thing is you can also have a neat car that you like. It might be fun because you might remember years ago when you grew up driving or riding in it. Right now, again, somebody asked while we were on the break here real quick, what about like older cars like Hudson's, DeSoto's? Yeah, they would work. They're flatheads. Some mechanical parts are going to be unavailable, so it's going to be rebuilt as you go. There is going to be a complete industry that will crop up if, of course, the government will try to stop all of this. We'll be shooting them. We're going to be at war. When the ring knockers decide to try this, we have to get rid of them. That's just all there is to it. But in the process, we don't need to go back into the stone age. Let me point something out. Have any of you ever looked at how a Model A or Model P was built? Do you really know what percentage of the Model As and Model Ts were made of wood? And everybody goes, what? Well, I want you to go real quick. You can do a pull up on either of those cars or any of the other vehicles for that era. Take a look at the wheels. Are those spoked wheels? You do realize that initially, most of the automobiles came with literally spoked wooden spoked wheels as a standard. Well, there's steel involved. Not very high grade, but good quality steel, because it was American steel too, by the way, and virgin steel mostly. But what about the side panels on the box for the car? Were they sheet metal or were they wood? What about the roof of the car? Was it sheet metal or was it wood? Do you know? Do you know how these vehicles were constructed? Now, progressively as more sheet metal technology was available, oh, that's right. You would develop that technology as you go. But how much of what you could produce could be made in wood? Now does it have to look like a model P or model A? You look like anything you want to do. What kind of tradesman are you? What kind of skill do you have? How crude or rude do you care to be or how sophisticated? Initially, utility will be the standard. I grew up with, when I was young, one of my many jobs understanding mechanical skills was to be able to use a hammer and a seal punch. And if you ever use a seal punch before anybody ever rebuild a carburetor or a transmission or even, you know, an engine and have to cut your own, oh, that's right, cut your own seals. Seals didn't come, factory cut. Typically, you had a template. There's two different ways. You actually had a paper template, and you cut it yourself with whatever blade system worked best. You still had to cut those holes where the bolts run through those. Yeah, all that had to be done, too. Then you had a series of punches in different sizes for that. Did you know that? You didn't buy it from the store prefabricated. I did that when I was a kid. When I was a kid, when I'm talking under 10, In many cases, the car companies sold, especially if you were a mechanic, but if you worked in a shop, they had cut out template chisels that you laid on the piece of either, you know, understand this, cork was the common and other materials were used, synthetic or real cork. And you had this form that you laid on top and it had a chisel head on it. And you smack it. And you smack it again. Don't let it bounce around. You look stupid. And what happens is when you pull it away, look at that. The cork or the artificial synthetic was cut. And if you're really, really old and that's not me, you know that seals originally were made of different bonded leathers. You did know that, right? Now, like good quality shoes, originally horse leather. was preferred. Now I want you to remember that cowhide is more supple and soft. Horsehide is much more aggressive and resilient to wear. Well, wait a minute. We couldn't be that set. You guys, the cars came out of the horse and buggy era. The technology that was most readily available and cost efficient and minimal was used to transist into automobiles. Have you looked at the carburetor of a Model T or an old Oldsmobile or whatever? Do you realize how, well they were sophisticated for their day, but do you realize how crude they actually are? Now here's the thing, people go, yeah, this wore out and that wore out, of course it did. You know what, that's why you made it so it was easily accessible and rebuildable. Water pumps, fuel pumps can all be rebuilt. Do most people do it? No, they don't even offer cores anymore. I've got a pump that's sitting right now in the shop, a water pump, that, my God, the fixture is two and a half feet long and wide. It's got aluminum body. It has bolts. It can be disassembled, but there's no core. They didn't want it back to rebuild it. Now I guarantee that at some point if I choose to and I really want to because I do stuff like I haven't had having as much time as they used to have when I was younger I would experiment and but this is something or every time I look at that I go by God that's like an 80 to 100 dollar item but it's a throwaway. And all I have to do is disconnect seven bolts and figure out what kind of seals I need to improvise for whatever leakage might be, and then make a seal for the whole of the pump. Well, that's not a big deal. I can do both. But I don't bother right now. But you know what? The last time I saw the road warrior, when you start looking at a situation where all of a sudden, you walk a long ways, maybe you got a horse and most of you don't. And you're going to have to improvise, adapt, and overcome otherwise. And I guess skateboards are cool. And there's certainly bicycles out there. And I'm going to talk about that in a minute. Bicycles, you better have reserves. You better have spare tires. You better have all the breakable things. But you better start building bikes up. I've probably got close to 70 bikes here, including some classics that, in reality, are a lot easier to rebuild or make parts for because they're lunkier and clunkier. But I didn't pay a dime for any of them. I just wait. Everybody around here has more, you know, got more money than brains. And if I just wait, I get another free, you know, multi-speed bike. Not preferred, although I do have a bunch of single-speed, classic old, clunky, wonky, big tire bikes. They all work. They all, you know, pedals work. Hey, Dad. Chain works, tires turn, and you know what, guys? That'll get you a ways and save on gas you don't need to burn with that vehicle you still got out front that you might want to drive once in a while. Go ahead, jump in there. Yeah, that's it. Something to do with a mountain bike. If you got a mountain bike that you keep around in your truck or your car for a emergency life boat, Guys, we've talked about this before with doing it with full-size tires making run flats with the spray foam insert into the tire. It takes a lot less to do that with a bicycle than it does with your car's tire. You can take, yeah, I can't remember the equation, how many cans it takes, but it's a lot less. You can have a whole-form tire on your bike, yeah. And the big thing about this is, again, these are all items that are off the shelf, easy to access. I pass by, I don't pass by very many and not pick them up, but we pass by daily bikes put out by the road here in this area. Now that won't happen when things go to hell in the hand cart. But right now, while they're readily available, it's not a big deal to acquire another vehicle that way because they are transportation. And quite useful, quite usable. So just a heads up, this is one of those things, everything we're talking about, the long range or touring vehicles, we're gonna have to retain and maintain to the best of our ability, but again, minimize their use. How do we do that? That bicycle helps to deal with that problem. Are we gonna use it everywhere? No, and I'm not talking electric bikes, I know how tempting those are. A couple of our friends have been running the hell out of those, and they work. There's no doubt about that. But when the batteries go, what do you do next? If the batteries are not going to be accessible because, like I said, nobody's going to be sending us anything for free, if we end up with the economy on the toilet the way they're setting it up, and they are setting it up for a collapse, there's no doubt about that. And it's government that's doing it. It's the people who hate us that are doing it. And they're planning on doing this to wage war on us. So we all better have a plan about what we're going to do to prevent them from being successful in their attack upon our persons. Because it's going to be the globalists, the international bankers, we have to put a bullet in their hind end. And the characters that are backing them up, put a bullet in their hind end because they're going to come out to steal everything off from under your feet. That is their plan. They plan on coming out and stealing everything off from underneath you. Because you will have nothing and you will be happy. I will be happy when they are gone. Won't you? The sooner that they're gone, I think the happier everyone will be. So that is part of the math formula, too. To do that, we've got to continue to be able to function as a society. We can do this. But we also have to have solutions while the people are picking their nose and panicking, defecating in their drawers, running around in circles like a chicken with their head cut off, which if you've ever seen, it actually happens, guys, if you didn't know that. And for that reason, we've got work to do. Peking order, again, well, bicycles are an ongoing thing. Right now, you're going to be running into a lot of bikes in this area, more money than brains, because winter's coming. And we don't need those bikes anymore. Well, isn't next spring coming around eventually? Oh, no. We'd get something else then. We'll pick something else up later, which I don't want those people to change. They'll change as they have to because they'll be forced to. But in the meantime, anything like that that you can acquire, pick it up. Put it on the shelf. Bikes don't take up that much space. Remember, they can hang up. You can actually bolt with a couple of U hooks. You can hang bikes flat to the ceiling. Why not? If you have rafters in your garage, But don't hang it upright lengthwise, so it's hanging down and beating you in the head. Get some U hooks from the Dollar Tree or from any number of the different cheapie China Sport facilities. And make yourself a set of J hangers so you can hook it up and also strap it up out of the way. Making that much more room? For other things you might collect, or things that you need to use every day. Solutions, not just pissing and moaning about the problem or whining about the disaster and catastrophe. It's just, you know, not good experience, but guys, we can roll the punches on this stuff and do a hell of a lot better than the enemy. Next, real quick, lubricants, petroleum oil and lubricant products, P-O-L, petroleum oil and lubricant products, whatever you're willing to invest in, you're not going to lose a penny on. But I do recommend this. We have resale shops around here, resale places that are done by individuals. And we are able to get a lot of P-O-L products for free or just about free. In some cases, they don't want to handle them. They have them. There's nothing wrong with them. There's no law that says they can't do it. But it's the old story that they don't want to worry about. It could be a problem. Maybe there might be a law against it. Oh, you're right. There is. I'll tell you what. I'll take those off your hands. In other words, do I argue with people about stuff like that anymore? Hell no. I'm not going to correct somebody that twisted. I understand. Just reverse. I need the stuff that they've got. Take it. Everybody understand that? Take it down the road. If they have an epiphany or if they're nice enough, you might help them out down the road. On the other hand, if they're as lame and stupid then as they are now, then you don't really want them around as the latest boat anchor around your neck, right? So don't argue with anybody. I mean, I'm genuinely honest in this respect. I'll ask the person, are you sure you want to sell that? It is useful. And they'll always be snide. If they're snide, don't even have any more of a discussion. It is what it is, and you got what you want. So walk away. Take it with you. Don't hesitate. Don't think twice. And don't have any bad feelings. You tried, didn't work. They aren't listening and you don't care to try and make them listen. It's not your job. I ain't Captain Save-a-Ho. So the other thing here too with POL is, by the way, just drip type technology. We didn't used to have aerosols for everything. We do now. But traditionally in the past, it was not the case. And again, you're going to have to learn to be conservative with the use of the material that you have. This is where you get back to prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. We need to make sure that we are Husbanding all of the resources that we've collected so if a little is good a lot is better That's not always the case and again wasted material Well in a situation where you do use a lot of lubricant It used to be you had catch points so that the over the overage was retained and you poured it back into the machine. You ever see that? If you haven't, you need to do a little investigating. So you actually have a, where you have something where the lubricant passes through a working part, you have a trough which has another funnel which goes to a catch basin. And the catch basin or container allows you to recover all the oil that's already passed through. You get a second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth use out of it, depending how many times it's possible. Because again, it starts to discolor or build up loading. That means there's something wrong with it. You've got parts wearing, and you don't want to put the material that was wearing back into the machine. There's all kinds of things you need to learn. Some of us are not that difficult. Others take a little more refinement of the eye. and, you know, working knowledge. But you can do this. You can't do it! Okay? It is possible. Okay, next. And you got to shop. Oh, we're at the bottom of the hour. Let's do this. Ed, a couple of cool ones here, by the way. I'll stand by you, the Pretenders. We've played the Pretenders before, chain gang, etc. I'll stand by you, the Pretenders. And... So the first one is I'll Stand By You, The Pretenders, and the other is Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons. Both those bands you should recognize. You've been listening even here for a little while. And a bunch of others are on the list. Don't worry, the book, the log book is building up. We've been ticking it down, which you keep adding to it. And I did get the request today also, by the way. I did catch that. Don't worry. It will be very good. I'm pretty sure, I'm going to give it a breath. Okay, we're good. I think we are. And you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. If you'd like to make a music request, yes, there is a long list of people who have made music requests. We just got rid of three requests with two songs played. So I want to say thank you, I appreciate that. And you can send me an email at liberty at provide.net. That's liberty at provide.net. Send me an email. Include the name of the artist, the band, the album if you can, and the name of the song. Of course, just the name of the song. Usually the artist is enough. But a link which many of you have so I get a chance to review what it is that you requested Is also you know convenient so that helps out a lot. Hey guys doing that we got Ed go ahead and jump in there, please I've done a gun some dad just kiddo. It's about 10 minutes long the price sitting just before Okay, the name of the video is eight hours ago Caught FBI lied about armed citizens stopping mass shootings. How many times have we talked about that subject? I'm here right But there's no doubt that they would do that, but after all, it's just it's been an ongoing thing for decades Not just for the last oh when bite was in there. Hey, did it when every other bastard? And we the gun-owning citizens of America have stopped more major incidents than they really want to give us credit for Let's talk about it. Hey everybody. Welcome back to guns and gadgets where freedom has a voice if you're new here My name is Jared and this channel covers everything the mainstream media won't tell you about your Second Amendment rights, your firearms, and what really is happening in America's Second Amendment world. Today's report I have is a big one. I've been working on it for a few days, and I think it's going to open some eyes here. The FBI has been publishing data for years that supposedly tells us how often armed citizens stop active shooters. But now new evidence shows they've been massively undercounting and the real numbers might be 10 times higher in our favor. Now real quick, I know a lot of you out there like to repair or modify your own firearms. If you're looking for a way to get your hobby to the next level, Sonoran Desert Institute can help you. The online programs at SDI cover armourers courses, gunsmithing, ballistics, woodworking and finishes, shooting sports management, drone stuff, and more. Plus, tools and materials are shipped directly to your door for hands-on practice. It's never been a better time to get an education that you can actually use on the job and make some money. So what are you waiting for? Visit sdi.edu slash gng to learn more. Links are down below. Alright, let's break this down exactly what's going on and what the data actually shows and why this matters to every single responsible gun owner in America. So here's what the FBI has been saying for years. From 2014 through 2024, their reports claim that armed citizens stopped only 14 out of 374 active shooter incidents. That comes out to 3.7%. Now you've probably heard that number before. It's one that the anti-gun politicians love to just vomit everywhere. They use it to argue that ordinary people with firearms rarely stop mass shooters and that civilian intervention is risky or ineffective. But what most people don't realize is how the FBI actually defines an active shooter. They only count shootings in public places, excluding anything connected to robberies, gangs, gang activity or other crimes. And they even exclude incidents where a potential attacker was stopped before shots were fired. So, right off the bat, the definition cuts out a huge part of the real world picture. And to top it off, the FBI even admits that their reports are not comprehensive. They say that they're not intended to capture all active shooter incidents. Well then why put out the frickin' stats? That's a big caveat and one that matters a lot once you see what the real data actually shows. Enter my friend Dr. John Lott Jr. from the Crime Prevention Research Center or the CPRC. Now he went back, way back, through 10 years of data, the same time frame that the FBI used and compared public records, local news, police reports, and other sources. And what they found was shocking. The FBI, according to CPRC, either missed or misclassified hundreds of cases. In total, CPRC identified 561 active shooter type events compared to the FBI's 374. That means that the Bureau left out roughly 187 incidents. Now here's where it gets wild. Of those 561, the CPRC found 202 of them were stopped by armed citizens. That's not 3%, that's 36%. A huge difference. Over a third. Let that sink in. 36% of active shooter events ended because a citizen, not law enforcement, intervened. Why? Because we're the ones who are there. Cops take 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes to get there. Think of how many bad things can happen in 15 or 20 minutes. And the CPRC says that FBI ignored at least 42 incidents entirely and misclassified another 145. They even discovered cases where civilians The thing we hear over and over and over again is, why do I need a deodorant for private parts? I can just take a shower. So we put Mando to the test and compared it to a shower alone. This is the odor score, 0 to 10. 0 being no odor at all and 10 being the worst odor that can possibly be on a human body. All participants in this study started at 0 out of 10. The first group of people were the people that didn't apply Mando at all. By hour 12, they were actually somewhere up in the 6th to five range. If you do not apply a deodorant to your private parts and you just rely on a shower to keep the odor free, you're going to be at a five or six after 12 hours. Now the group of people that apply a mando after showering also started at a zero, but 12 hours later, zero odor. So why do you need a deodorant for your private parts? This is why. With Mando deodorant you'll be at zero out of ten no odor all day all day long You're gonna have zero odor wherever you put this and so with the starter packs you'll get both of these bad boys And we're gonna throw in our deodorant wipes which also have odor controlling properties and what are also clinically proven to control odor And we're just gonna toss these in for free. These are my absolute favorite everyday user I use these after the bathroom because unlike a baby wipes that just kind of gets the debris off This is gonna get that debris off, but it's also gonna have those Stop the text without firing a shot and those weren't counted at all So why are the FBI's numbers so low and CPR sees so high you might ask? Well critics say it comes down to five big issues number one The FBI's narrow definition excludes too many cases if the shooter had another motive robbery domestic dispute Then it's tossed out even if it was a public shooting number two misclassification Some cases were counted, but the FBI didn't credit the armed citizen even when witnesses and the police confirmed it. Number three, no shot interventions. If a citizen pulled a gun and stopped the attack without firing, then it doesn't count according to the FBI. Number four, oh, but if the FBI stops a mass shooting before any shots are fired, they always take credit for it. But for the little guys, You don't get any credit. Back to four. Number four, media bias. Many of these defensive uses never make national news. They're only covered locally, so they never hit the FBI's radar. And number five, institutional inertia. What do I mean? Well, the bureau has been told about these missing cases, but they've been slow to fix their reports. The result is a distorted national narrative that makes it seem like armed citizens almost never help, when in reality we are stepping up far more often than we were told. Now, to be fair, the FBI's strict definition does have some benefits. It's consistent, it's standardized, and it avoids over-counting. But that consistency only matters if the definition itself isn't hiding the truth. Dr. Lott over at CPRC's broader approach might not be perfect, but it reflects the real-world experience of armed self-defense far better than the FBI's numbers. Now, when you include all relevant incidents, especially those in which citizens acted before police arrived, the picture drastically changes. 36% is not a rounding error. That's an entirely different story about who's saving lives during active shootings. And it's us. We the people. So what does this mean for real life and for the gun rights debate? Well first, it proves that us, the lawful gun owners, can and do save lives. If you're carrying responsibly, if you're trained, you're aware, You could be the difference between chaos and safety before law enforcement ever arrives. Now second, it challenges the foundation of the anti-gun policy arguments, shatters them. Politicians love to say that good guys with guns are a myth, but when you look at this data, it's extremely clear, crystal clear, that that myth has more truth to it than the FBI's version does. Third, it underscores how media coverage shapes perception. When citizen interventions are ignored, the public starts believing that they don't happen, which then fuels more restrictions, more gun-free zones, and less preparedness. And that brings us to one of CPRC's most powerful findings, in my opinion. When you exclude gun-free zones, the percentage of active shootings stopped by armed citizens isn't 36%. It jumps even higher, to about 64%. In other words, when law-abiding Americans are told that they can carry, they're allowed to carry, they stop the bad guys almost two-thirds of the time. This matters because bad statistics lead to bad policy. When federal agencies publish incomplete data on purpose and media outlets repeat it without question, the American public is misled. It paints us, the responsible gun-only Americans, as irrelevant or dangerous when the truth is we're often the first line of defense. Not often, we're always the first line of defense. And the more that that truth gets buried, the easier it becomes for gun-controlled clowns to push for bans, restrictions, and limitations all under the false impression that armed citizens don't make a difference. But we know better. And now, thanks to CPRC's work, We have the data to prove it. So, here's the takeaway. The FBI says 3.7%. The CPRC says it's 36%. That's not a small difference. That's the truth versus the narrative.

Do you trust the FBI's data or the independent review from CPRC? Should these reports be audited? Should the public demand corrections? Let me know down below and as always stay safe, stay armed, and stay free. God bless you. I love y'all. I'll see you on the next one. Take care. Yes, they did so they lied. Well, we've been warning everybody about that for a very long time. So just that the more you dig, well, actually we choose cross-reference with the existing databases that are readily at your fingertips because we have the miracle of the computer age. Then it's not difficult to demonstrate exactly who's lying and how they're lying and the fact that they know they're lying. That's the big problem there. They know they're lying. Didn't happen by accident. Happened by intent. Go ahead, call or jump in there. I wonder how many times Lord Trump lied over. Oh, what? Trump it up? Oh well, he's been just in it on... Oh, wait a minute. Back up and repeat that again, just so I get that right before I go any farther. For some reason, we're just... Maybe it's my ears today, I don't know. Repeat what you said, please. You mean Lord Trump? Lord Trump. Trump it up. Trump it. Well, I'm not really, again, it's not just Trumpadump that's been lying to us. I mean, he's only had so much time to be there. The biggest problem is all of the other characters who are entrenched that know full well that everything that Jared was just talking about, they were doing intentionally. This has happened by accident and that because somebody did a boo-boo. The entire process is intentionally skewed. You can ask a selective angled question and the response you're going to get is going to create the result that you wanted. And again, here's the other problem. It's like how many cases, guys, were you accidentally, if somebody's noticed, they said, hey, there's a white guy that did that shooting and it's a black guy. They even try to rotoscope the color of the guy and you know, his features don't match. And then finally there's a real picture of what the character looked like and well, he ain't white, but who did that? Well, the controlled press and the government did that. Why did they do that? To maintain a particular agenda. And the whole thing has to do with trying to convince us to be disarmed so that they can prepare for what other evil, scurrilous things they have planned that they want to do to us. And it's why, again, how can you tell when they're lying? It's when their lips are moving. We should all remember that and stick by that because it's consistently true. There's nothing that's changed there. The present regime is no different from the regime in there before. The characters that did all the dirty deeds on January 6th to the American people and the patriots that were in Washington, we told not to go there by the way if you remember, yeah I can rub that in. Everyone what did Uncle Mark say about going to Washington? Don't go. It is probably going to be a set up. Why? Because we know our enemy and all the tells were there. Everything that told you that they were going to do what they did Well, the writing was on the wall, so none of us were shocked. Oh my goodness, I never would have expected that. Yeah, well if you did, and you weren't paying attention to your reality around you that we've experienced for a very, very long time. Very, very, very long time. Three varies. Anyway, we're at the top here. We're going to take off but guns and gadgets, so if you have a chance to go over like Jared said, give them a thumbs up. subscribe to the channel. Things are getting colder outside, drought temperature is dropping. You know, it's October. We should be thankful for what we got in the way of weather. Go ahead, call or jump in there, real quick. Real quick, yeah. It ain't so bad that I said Lord Trump, is it? Yeah. Well, again, I think he would like to be Lord Trump. He's just Mr. Trump. He's president. He's got a title. But yeah, I think all of them are thinking they're going to make their move towards the imperial. That's why they're setting things up and moving in the direction they are. You know, they sell blatantness to say, well, Netanyahu, if you guys help us to kill the Palestinians, Donald Trump's going to build a big tower over there on the beachfront in Beirut there. Not Beirut, forgive me. And down there in the bottom of Palestine. Oh no, we're going to call it something. It'll be Israel Hell by the time you're done. That's right. But if I were to call up somebody and say, hey, I got a friend. He says if I help him kill his neighbor, he'll let me put a shack on the beach there with the property he's stealing from the guy. How many people would like that? So how is it everybody likes it when Donald Trump flaps his yap about that? Hmm. How would you feel if that was done to you? Well, we're not going to do it to me. They said I'm special. We're going to do it to all those other guys. Yeah. So Martin, you figure you're special. Okay, call her. Jump in. Quick. We're at the top right now. Go ahead. Yeah, it's text mix. Yeah. When it comes to the January 6th, didn't they understand what it means to deal with long shanks? Right. Hey, we're all just bring your squire. Only bring one squire. That's all you're allowed for the meeting. Why? Well, they only got somebody ropes. Well, did I say that? Remember the beginning of the movie Braveheart? Yeah, all the squires and the representatives, the ennobles, they were just hanging around, weren't they? Yeah, yeah, they were just hanging around. Something to think about there. Remember, deals with the devil. Yes sir, key word there. Words mean something. Devil. Don't forget, devil. It's like when they say pirate. Okay, we're at the top. We should be hearing the music right now. We are at the end of the hour, guys. If you're going to be out there again, break up the cold water here and put a few items into your cars and leave them there. because everybody went to brain fart because of the wonderful weather we've been having. God bless our republic. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shit. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize. family farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, while their children and leaders send artillery and guns before insurers and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the fate to stand And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God-given right, and pray to God, to freedom, to be bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true, not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Because I had no shoes, and then I met a man who had no feet. Good! Evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the third hour of the Intelligence Report. The evening hour, I'm Mark Korky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, on and behind the lines in occupied territories. East, west, south, and northeast.

We're gonna make sure that happens. We're the ones going to be dictating the music. They're gonna try. And they're gonna fulfill. Anyway, it has been a busy, busy week and we are headed once more, as is always the case, from the work weekend to the work weekend. We have a number of construction projects, materials partially were collected today. Everything is on the double plus good thumbs up side. So for everybody who was planning on participating, rain or shine, weather is going to last forever, so we're going to do what we can right up until the snow and probably even after the snow. So, again, make sure that your crews all know that it is a positive situation we are in and we will continue with the process. Now, in addition, real quick, and before I forget, I have mentioned these a couple of times, but, you know, people are getting chilly now, so maybe you'll think, hey, it's a good idea.

So again, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com, CenterFireSystems.com. Go check them out. See if anything there makes sense. If it doesn't, move on to other things. Obviously, there's more enough, I'm sure, to keep you busy. Also, Delta Team Tactical, Delta Team Tactical, Delta Team Tactical, they have a complete pre-assembled AR upper in 9 millimeter for $99. Now, that's a good price. And again, $99, we're looking at a completely assembled upper receiver. It's a short barrel, I think it's 8.5. It's a pistol caliber, so it doesn't make any difference. Again, if you buy it, put it someplace where nobody can see it and it is out of sight, out of mind and not near your stuff. When things kick off, you won't care, but in the meantime, the lying POSs that make up government employees, they might try to, if they pester you in any way, they would try to figure out how to lie about what you're doing with your weapons. So, to make sure that that isn't a problem, prior to proper planning, preventing piss poor performance, The idea is that you can have it for a much better price. Typically, you'll make these up with a lower that uses the Glock mags. Your choice blogger is saying, I'd go Glock. Glock is just going to be consistent for a long time. And the mags are dirt cheap. And you can use tireder mags and older mags and any mags in the carbines. You don't care. So just a heads up on that and that's over at Delta Team Tactical. There are of course deals at all the other locations so I would check them out but Delta Team had that jumped off the page. The next one up is $119 so both of those uppers are pretty good priced and there are a few others that are below 120. And those are AR-15. The ones that are cheapest are 9mm barrels, different lengths of short barrels and are completely assembled ready to use. So they are definitely a worthwhile effort there. Now, we got into a subject and we kind of burred off into a few, as I always do anyway, a couple of other things that were not as relevant as the most recent solution. Number one, again, if you're looking for a point-to-condenser car, pre-1970, They are out there. Go to Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. You will find some fantastic deals. What you are looking for is not a roller unless you know what to do with the vehicle and you know how to work on the thing. You are looking for a Serviceable, functional, body's there, basic interior's there. She starts, she stops, she turns. There are some nice mid-60s to early, late 60s, forgive me, late, not early 60s vehicles out there that are points and condenser. Parts are readily available. I have been doing a lot of this and we have been tagging and snagging these wherever we can. I missed out on a, as I said before, a four-door Falcon for 2,200. One of the allies would have grabbed it. We did try to make contact the next day. I saw it late at night and somebody in the middle of the morning already tagged it and ran with it. It was a good price. It's a vehicle that works. It's running. You need to do a little research. What you want to do is check on available parts. Most important first, points in condenser. Also distributor cap and also plugs which plug wires are no big deal. You can go even you can make your own anytime when it comes to plug wires. They do not have to be prefabricated but Check to see what's available go right down to the basic list plugs all of that's an essential and then Make your choice real quick and ride with that puppy then go through it top to bottom and grease, lubricate, and oil, everything that needs to be greased, lubricated, and oiled. I will remind you that a lot of those older vehicles, they have grease zerks for a lot of different parts that you're not used to. In some cases, they actually still have, instead of sealed bearings, they have zerks on the drive shaft bearings. Universal, so you want to make sure that you, before you do too much for the vehicle, you know, get it to where you need to, you know, where you can work on it. But then get up underneath there and do all your PM immediately. That's Preventive Maintenance PM. And make a point of getting as much as you can done before the winter flies. Now you don't need to drive this for the winter. You can garage it. As long as we're not shooting at somebody, you want to drive it enough to know what it does, but it's not critical to run, run, run the vehicle. Okay? What is critical is to know how it works. being able to operate it. So some of these, like in many cases, the Falcons will be three on the tree if you need to learn to. If you have not done a clutch car, you need to know how to anyway. There are far too many of them out there. It's kind of like swimming. You better know how to use everything you're going to possibly run into. And if you haven't learned to do that, you better take the time and your team should actually buy a car or a truck with a clutch and manual. And everyone needs to learn. I know it takes time. Yes, I understand we've got other things more enough to keep us busy. But that is a high priority because you don't know what you're going to drop into down the road in the middle of nowhere. Something that's available, it's like, well, I don't know how to drive a stick. You better learn to drive a stick. Just again, one of the many things that's on that. There's stuff to do. We've got a caller. Who do we have? Paul, I was wondering, how difficult is it to learn how to overhaul an automatic transmission? That's why the manual trans is also a big advantage. A friend of mine took the entire Chrysler automotive course for Chrysler trans and I got a chance to see, I mean I helped him build the, he had to, he got the, he went to the course, he graduated from the course here in Detroit with Chrysler. And I helped him build his first solo trans separate from the class. And what we were doing is putting it into Chrysler Cordoba. And when I found out what some of the test procedures are for building a transmission, it was like, no, you've got to be kidding. And it's like, I said, no way. And he said, oh, yes way. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that's standard procedure. So, it's not that it's hard per se, but remember when you open it up it's like a little, it's like a BB puzzle game. If you've seen how the indexers work and all of the scrivers work in an automatic transmission, have you ever looked at one? You can do it, but you need to have working knowledge and you gain experience, therefore you get better at it. It's that simple, but it's through the process of actually doing the job. So this is why you don't see that many people going into transmission work when in reality, you make money hand over fist. I got people that I know that, hell, they're stacked and racked with transmission work for the next, what, two years if they want. In fact, they take jobs as they choose. Again, the reason, it's tedious. And a lot of people don't like tedious because it looks like work. It can be done. Most of the, if you're going to do a total rebuild and you were serious about, that you probably, well, actually down the road, you just may have to do it. But it's one of those things where you would want to buy the kit and have the parts kit, all the seals, all the replacement components. and have it on the shelf waiting. But here again, this is one of the reasons that we try to standardize on a couple of vehicles. I've tried to for the sake of spare parts inventory so that if something happens, number one, if we have damaged or battle scarred vehicles that are messed up, we can pillage off them. But also because if we do work, if we have spare parts like that, Then they're matching across the trucks, the suburban, the Tahoes, everything's the same. So it's not so much that it's hard, it is just tedious. But in the end result, you can build the trans, you can stand on its ear. In other words, it'll outdo anything on the road if you want it to. I'm seeing it because I helped to make it happen. Go ahead. The valve body inside of it sort of looks like a BB game with springs and valves and stuff like that. That's what I just said. And it's more than one. There's more than one. There's a whole series of... It's a three-dimensional puzzle palace is what it is. Now there again, this is why most of the older vehicles, if you get into the 50s and 60s, One of the advantages is that they typically are going to be clutched. They're not going to be automatic. Automatic was a luxury item. It was a line item with the auto industry. And it was special. In other words, well, yeah, you want to spend that kind of money. You can get yourself an automatic transmission. A lot of people did. Otherwise, the other consideration I'll give an example is I have a complete two sets of manual transmissions that could change out into this charger if I needed to. I didn't pay top dollar for them. I just waited for the people to get rid of stuff. And lo and behold, once they did, I grabbed the, I've got a 440, I got the 383 with a Ford research car on the top of it. And, of course, it's got a 318 in it, which means the 360, the 383, those will change out. And again, the other thing you watch here is motor mounts. So that's a consideration. Now, if you were looking for a universal vehicle to buy, to be able to maintain in the long haul in what's coming, Jeeps. Most Jeeps, if they're the, of course, about the latest I couldn't say. I don't know what the latest family of Jeeps are doing. as far as like in the last four or five years. But traditionally, all Jeeps are typically, because they're AMC oriented, they can take pretty much with a proper motor mount anybody's engine. That is an advantage. I said the CJ5 from hell that a friend of mine had, I went to college with, we did 27 engine swap outs in a year. Everybody goes, what? It's like, yeah, because he wouldn't buy a good motor. He just kept buying $50 motors and he'd run until they'd blow out and then he'd just grab another motor and we'd change it out in an evening. The CJ-5 is an open bay front motor compartment and we'd have the engine out, the other engine in, we'd have all the splitters and adapters for everything, for the exhaust. Most of them are lined up anyway because we went from like a V8 to another V8. But we'd go like from a 302 to a 454. He put a 454 Chevy engine in at one time. held the whole front end. That's twice the weight of the average engine that's under the hood there. But that's the advantage of the Jeeps, which is something we haven't talked about. And most of those will take points in condenser or have, in many cases, depending on the era, are already standard four points in condenser engines. So you don't have to worry about trading out the electronic brain or any of that nonsense. The trade-out is very simple. So I've been a very user very user friendly in that respect. Go ahead call her jump in there. Yeah, I this is Ed from Chicago I just wanted to mention with the clutch you were talking about the clutch or Learning the clutch the main thing is don't ride the clutch Right. Oh, yeah, it engaged and boom Yeah, let's do a job. Oh Go ahead. We'll ride it and then it wears out. Well, interestingly enough, like I said, most of the middle 60s and later 60s cars that we're running into are Fords. They typically have a three on the tree fixture. You will find it on other Chrysler and Chevy products. What do you mean by three? I had a 75 Ford Granada with a three on the tree and nobody could drive it. Right. Well, here's the thing. The cool thing is they jump behind the steering wheel thinking it's an automatic because there's no stick on the floor. Yeah, right. And so they're thinking that it's a standard automatic transmission, except when you try to engage it, you know, install. It won't go anywhere until you make sure that clutch is in. So, but here again, most important on this is ease and maintenance. So this was a good point that was brought up. The manual transmission in the long haul would be much easier to maintain converter from the engine's power to the drivetrain because that's what the transmission does. Yeah, it transmits power. It's transition. You know transmission, but it's transmitting the power accordingly. So I've got a 96. I got a 96 Dodge diesel. That's why I wanted to ask you too about diesel. You're not really talking about diesel engines, but you can convert like old grease from restaurants to diesel. You know, I mean diesel is more reliable gasoline. You know, could you speak? Go ahead. No, I mean, the original diesels were ran out of peanut oil, I believe. Hemp oil, too. Remember Ford? Diesel and Ford got together and made that little Ford car that was made out of, the body was made out of hemp and it ran on hemp oil. Yeah, that was Ford. Ford was trying to circumvent the oil companies because he knew how they were screwing us. And he demonstrated it could be done. Yes. I saw a great bumper sticker years ago where it said, real trucks don't have spark plug. Right. Well, the advantage of the diesel is that, yes, there's a number of different products that we could create that, again, would be home brewed in terms of oil that could be used to run a diesel. The diesels, you're not going to make gasoline. No, the closest you're going to come is again using the alcohol and there are some additive issues where you can take organics and add it to the gas which would help with lubrication while still not breaking down volatility, in other words, octane content. The big problem is again, what's the quality of the product you're producing? Don't forget that different, the alcohols affect the fuel system in different ways depending on the year of the vehicle. So you have to adapt accordingly, you have to readjust everything. In some cases change out lines, the whole nine yards. That's all part of the thinking to the future, stuff that needs to be remembered that we've already dealt with over the last, what, 40, 50 years with all the crap they've pulled on us with the fuel shortages. So, we've seen this all before. We've already experienced this before. But diesel, you can possibly make it yourself, if you had to. Well, you can make any number of oils. Example is, if you had diesel, you could use hemp oil, just like we're talking about. It used to be, remember, hemp was everywhere. Hemp was not a restricted product. It was a crop and farm builder. It was the way that the farmer kept out of the bank and he wasn't selling it to smoke. He was selling it as an industrial product that people used. And so the big plan, the big lie was to attack hemp. You know, bad dog hemp. But in reality, it was the oil companies screwing all of us. That's what it was all about. But you can use peanut oil. Yeah, you can use peanut oil, hemp oil. You could use pumpkin seed oil. Like I've been talking about, you don't realize pumpkins are everywhere. But here again, you have to squeeze it and make it happen. So you're still going to require effort. Diesel fuel is more viable in a grid down situation than gasoline. You're not going to make gasoline. I like you just said though about the ethanol or whatever, but I think it's easier to make diesel fuel than gasoline. Right. Well, again, we'll make an oil that would be comparable in performance. You might smell like you're roasting peanuts down the road or like you've got a Burger King in your trunk. It may smell like Burger King, but it'll run just fine. On that note, with regard to the diesel solution, the most sought after every time anybody gets into diesel for emergencies are the diesel rabbits and then there's the Jetta. And all the Jetta is, is a rabbit with a trunk. They're out there still, there's whole groups of people that love those vehicles so they've been maintained or at least they keep them alive. Was that a little four-cylinder engine? Well, they had fours. I think they did a six banger in those two that only lasted for a short period of time. It was the economy car to replace the VW. Remember the Rabbit? And the Jetta was just a step up like, hey, I got a trunk. And they did a little more window dressing with the Jetta. But if you see either one, both of those are available in both gas or diesel. And diesel, obviously, is what you'd be looking for. There's no real conversion issue. It's just a matter of cleaning everything up, typically on the vehicle. And one of our friends used to get all of the restaurant oil. He started to get into them, and then he kind of dropped out of them again. You know, it was an interesting thing, but it was, you got to go through the process of getting the oil and everything else. And what you do is also you have to have a filtering system. That's the only thing about diesel. You got to keep it clean. So, in looking at in the future, these are things we should touch on anyway because, yes, diesel is a viable solution that will probably be readily available to a lot of people. I mean, I don't think that McDonald's is ever shut down. You know? Well, when they do, they probably, you'll think probably to take the rancid grease out of the fryers even if they abandon them, right? Right, right, right, right. I mean there you go. You might have to sort through the dead rats that fell into it and drowned or something, but that'd be about it. But it worked. So they'll smell like hamburgers with cooked rat. That's what it'll smell like when it's going down the road. Oh, okay. Hamburgers and dead rat. Mark. I just wanted to throw my two cents in there. Very good, thank you. Nobody could drive that tree in the tree. They couldn't figure it out. But it was so nice. It was a straight six, 75, four, and... Well, that's right. I grew up on a tree on the tree. That's how I learned to drive. That's what I had to learn to drive. I wasn't going to get anything else. When I was trying to buy a car, there was a Rambler Rebel there. It was totally built up. Could have got a Nixon's junkyard for a total of $600 and it looked like a baby charger. He said, yeah, I got this Rebel out there. My dad looked at it and said, nope. And he knew that, yeah, I'm probably going to end up with a lead foot. And the last thing, that Rebel, you'd be able to, it was a performer, let's put it that way. It was completely built up. I don't know, the kid that had it, I went to school with, and apparently his dad told him to get rid of it like my dad would have told me. You know what I mean? He was like, oh, enough of that. I can't go through any more tires. But the thing is that he... Go ahead. I told all my kids I had a Ranger stick. I taught them all to drive. Initially, when they were learning, 14 years old or 13, whatever. on the stick, you know? And don't ride the clutch. Let it in. Well, here's the thing about my situation. If I didn't do it right and we were going to have to fix the clutch, who do you think was going to be climbing under there to fix it? Because we had all the tools. My dad already explained it. Any problem with this car is your problem with this car. I got an idea what we'd have to do. But again another thing about this somebody's asking about yes, they were on trucks in fact You don't see them as much now, but years ago the Air Force the Dodge Ram trucks which are the m-880s If they were the shortbed trucks those were three on the tree those were all manual and there they were a nice little truck for what they were so yes if you run into one of those Dodge Ram They are the M880s. They can be in the short box. If they are in the longer box, they are going to be an automatic with a 318 with a single barrel carburetor. If they are the short body Air Force version which has the Bronco basically what the Dodge equivalent. Anyway like a Bronco short ass rear end pickup truck but it is a Dodge Ram, it'll have a slant six, typically with a single barrel carb and three on the tree. And the only variant is that some of those did come with an automatic because it depends on what year those M880 variants or M890 variants were built. But I worked on a ton of them. And I did like, I kept of all the hundreds of those Dodge trucks, we put most of them into militia units to the north, and they're still with us. They're military trucks, but there's some pulled in their Dodge. The one I loved is the short box. It had a nice short turning radius. It was a, you know, with a six cylinder, it was a fuel sipper, but it had plenty of get up and go because it was a lightweight truck to begin with. Now, it was not four-wheel drive with the Air Force models. And we'll get that also. Mostly two-wheel drive. Also, Mark, if you park on a hill, you can start to dance things if you have a stick. You can start the damn thing rolling down the hill. If gravity sucks and if you're a poor man and can't afford a battery, just pay attention to whether there are any angles and slopes and hills. Exactly. You can start it on a hill. Exactly. With the stick. But you're not going to start it like that on an automatic transmission. No, you're just going to rip stuff apart. You're just gonna mess stuff up. That's all you're gonna do with that, man. Yeah, but with a stick you could start you could start the car rolling down actually somebody can push you if you're in a flat area you could get rolling and you could start being truck or car. Go ahead, call another voice. Well, I didn't want him to get off. But anyway, hey, this is a Tex-Mex. There's a reason why all Mexicans prefer standards and carry jumper cables. Yeah, jumper cables instead of pushing it is good, and that's true. And again, one of the things... I'm down in Texas now, too, where a Tex-Mex, I'm down in Texas, actually I'm south of Gainesville a little bit. Where you at, brother? Oh, you're a little east to me. Where you at? I'd prefer not to say. Okay. Alright. Yeah. But if you guys talk to Ed, he can pass it on to each of you, though. You see, he could call Ed or you can give Ed an email, send him a text, and he can quietly give you guys a way to connect. I've been here three years and I don't have a lot of friends. People, I start talking and they like look, they've all arrived, well there are all these Christian Zionists, you know, where they're like the Jews are gods, anyway. So when, well there's a way, I have a way of dealing with that. Especially when it's like, well wait a minute, you're not chosen. Get in line, there's other people ahead of you. Oh, why? No, that's not how it's supposed to work. Yeah it is. Shut up, get in line. You're behind them all of you're behind them pure Zionist you're behind them. You're not with them. That's always the fun part It's like yeah, you're subservient. It's like all I walk not next to the master All I say to her is well the Jews killed Jesus Yeah, right. My rabbi said they didn't. Your rabbi? What are you talking about? Yeah, I have a situation. My rabbi said so. Well, okay guys, we're a little past the bottom. We've got to at least throw this out there. You're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. Don't forget that if you can, take the time, donate to Liberty Tree Radio. Go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we get there, go to the donate key and you can donate any amount, whatever you choose. And don't apologize for anything ever. Whatever you can do, it's what you can do. We're just fine and happy with that. Also, in addition, I guess I better mention it, if you would like, a way you can support us is we have the Manuals pack, which we just sent the next one out today. Actually, two different packages went out. Should have done probably a dozen more, but there's some Some of these are mixed because you guys requested some other items and they're already to go except for that one item you asked for which everybody asked for the same thing. I understand why. So that particular book is being produced right now. It's something we don't give out to just everybody. But watch your mailbox if you requested the manuals kit. It's on the way for the very last in the in line on the first wave. I should say now second third wave. If you would like to participate and support Liberty Tree Radio and get a pack of manuals, here's what you do. Go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key. When you get to the donate key, donate $60. If you do don't need $60 but you don't want it, then just say no manuals to be safe, I guess, because I'm going to assume if it's $60 donation it's for manuals, but don't leave the page. Go to the Notations section, slash the Comments section there, whatever they call it, and type in manuals, number one. Number two, write in your mailing address. I have to have your mailing address or I can't send you the gift. So, once you do that, you're all done. You can go do other things. And again, this will include everything to basically put a fire team, a squad together, basic skills covered in a number of different areas. There is an extensive expanded library, also part of the process. If you did get a pocket constitution, I recommend you put that in your tactical gear because it's a good thing to have around. If you're going to stay busy, might as well be a pocket constitution with the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, you know, all the critical components you're supposed to be fighting for. Not the least of which is, you know, God. And in this case, remember no king but King Jesus. Oh, some Israelis. Ears just curdled on that one. How dare I? How dare I? Oh, out there a lot. Anyway, again, pay attention. If you request it, then you've got stuff on the way. And there'll be more going out tomorrow. Different category, but still more going out tomorrow. There we go. Qualify it, right? So, see, next, and we have about 18 minutes. I've been harping on the vehicles because people are not going to want to be walking around too much once they realize they can't be using fuel. Or, I should say, they may not be able to even use their vehicles, depending on what happens. Case in point, real quick, if you can run into one, a 1967 Chevy pickup truck. I'll get it right. Truck, how about T-R-U-C-K, truck. They were the most heavily researched vehicle ever produced by General Motors. They were designed to be a dark side of the moon combat truck. And in fact, I believe that their original purpose for actually building it was to capture the next DOD contract for a standard pickup truck for utility use, along with the next five quarter ton package competition that was to take place. Now, Jeep got it because Jeep was in trouble and the Kaiser Jeep pickup truck, the M715, is what the government took instead. Now, because of that, there was still another truck on the horizon that was proposed, which would become the M880 I mentioned earlier. Chevy didn't get either one of those. However, some of the Chevys and a certain quantity of international harvesters were purchased as supplemental tactical alternate vehicles for the US Army, the Navy, and the Air Force. However, this GM 1967 Chevy pickup truck is one of the best survival type engineered trucks made. If you see one laying around, you don't want to change it out. You don't want to switch it out from points of condenser. Now one thing about the Chevys, those Chevys, the 67s, is that they incorporate fusible links, which you don't see on all of the Chevy trucks for that era. Now if it's an actual M 1967 Chevy line truck, what is it, not the S10, If it's the F1, I got it half double checked the nomenclature on that. But anyway Chevy truck 67 These trucks no matter which model all were built the same way the electronics were designed to conform to civil defense specifications and the trucks themselves are very robust In the movie in the television series not movie television series Jericho They dog on that truck anything that was the right thing to do. They made the wrong thing to do And that Chevy pickup truck in there is THE truck you want. Heads up. They were doing that constantly with these piss-woolie series like this where they would do just the opposite of what you would do if you're trying to save your ass. Or trying to function. So heads up on that one. The Dodge trucks for the same era were comparable and in fact you'll see more and more the Dodges used a fusible link system. You probably, if you own the Dodge, an old one, you know this. Typically, I highly recommend if you run into wrecks or wreckage from that era, one of the first things that I would scavenge off anything that was a plowed wreck, I don't take it off a nice vehicle. But if you've got a plowed wreck, it's get up under the hood and snip off with about a three or four inch pigtail on either side, any fusible links that you could find. That way, when one goes bad, you have a little handful in the repair kit on the truck. And the reason the fusible links are there are to protect critical electronic components. And the reason for this is because of the probability of a nuclear exchange. That was why they were done. Now, of course, some people would argue, well, Chrysler is because they're a crappy electrical system. I would be the first to attest to the Chrysler crappy electrical system. But that's not why they put the fusible links in. The fusible links conformed to Department of Defense and Civil Defense guidelines for service trucks that would be operating. So, again, all the new modern vehicles, they're totally, in fact, especially ones we're talking about with no direct contact of the drivetrain, well, they're going to be useless after an EMP. Too many pieces of crap on these brand new vehicles would be dead and never come back because you couldn't afford to buy the parts. You couldn't afford to find the parts. So, a mechanical drive, a drive steering shaft assembly to the forward control is critical. Be able to say it's obvious, it used to be in every vehicle. In addition to that, again, minimizing the electronics. This is why with the 67, you open the hood, where's the motor? Oh, the motor's right there, that's all you need. Well, what about all the other stuff? Oh, that was just added on later to charge you more for getting less. So, again, this is a tactical solution, but also, again, civil defense threat solution based upon experience with all the testing they did. That's what all the nuclear testing was all about, which they're also trying to make everybody forget about, too, by the way. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there. Yeah, and MAFSA has feasible links to the grain and free capabilities. It can be various links in a role. And if you have a link, go to MAFSA and buy it over. Right. Well again, put in your spares kit, yes. That's one of the things that would be a priority. If you have any of the dodges, again, through the 70s, especially with the M8880 knockoff, which is the snow commander. Okay, for anybody out there, if you have the snow commander dodge ram truck, that's the civilian counterpart to the M880. But all dodges use those fusible links, all of them, if they're from that period of time, late 60s or middle 60s to all through the 70s and early 80s. Go ahead. Oh, by the way, yeah, I have two M10-08s and one M10-M10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 which will build for the economy. Detroit diesels. Over. Excellent. And again, this is one of the parts we actually put yesterday. I should have been talking about it. This is another one of those parts that's actually critical. Although you can't wire the thing off, I would point that out. You could just run a bridge. The fusible link is a safety feature to protect from surging. It's just like any other. It's a circuit breaker, is all it is. It's a fusible link, a fuse. So, the advantage is that that cooks out and because when, here's one of the things you remember, people ask me, why do they put so many fusible links on these things? Well, guys, when an EMP takes place, the EMP doesn't plug in at one spot and run down the line like you're plugging into a wall. When the EMP takes place, your entire wire system collects the energy and transfers it down the wire because that's the path. of natural conductivity. It goes down the way it's supposed to. Unfortunately, it's more power than you need. In fact, it's grossly over what you need. It's devastatingly destructive. So the fusible links in multiple locations, because of that energy surge and build-up from multiple directions, You immediately start burning the bridges in all of those critical points and protect any of the much more expensive critical components that keep the vehicle running. The wires or the fusible links are easy enough to change. Now, if somebody is immediately asking you, well, why don't you just put a wire in place of it? Well, the fusible link served a purpose, didn't it? Did you lose your alternator? Nope. Did you lose your electronic ignition? Nope. Well, okay, so the fusible inks did their job. Yep. Well, if the enemy drops one nuke near you, don't you think they might drop another nuke near you at some other time? Oh, yeah, that's right, they could. Now, at least being able to get the truck to run after it's going, no matter what, is a good idea. But the fusible links are an integrated part of the electrical harness with a solution to a problem that was known. And this is why it's very useful. So the older vehicles have a lot of advantages. You should be seriously looking at them. Can't emphasize that enough. I can explain. the value, but you're going to have to decide whether or not it's worth your time to make the effort to follow through on picking some of this tech up. And it's not that big a deal. It's not that expensive. If you go to Facebook Marketplace, you can find Dodge M880s or Ram trucks from that period for a pretty reasonable price still. Now, they're square body Dodges. This is what they referenced, just like square body Chevy. So they're a little more quote unquote classic now. With regard to the Kukvis, which is what was being mentioned a minute ago, the Kukvi family of trucks, the square Chevy square bodies, are diesels. And again, the most common of the diesels out there for the longest time. So there's a lot of parts laying around as part of the standby inventory. Keep that in mind. So, again, not a bad investment. They're readily available. They're still floating around out there. They're not as cheap as they used to be. Again, for the very same reason. The body style is really popular. Every once in a while this happens with vehicles and that's what's happened with these particular trucks is they've got a niche market right now. Just, you know, get over it. Go ahead and jump in there, please. The only thing on my cubbies is the General Nines have got a 26-gallon tank. And I put 20 gallons of Missoula corn oil in there, along with the remaining 6 gallons of diesel. And it ran like a champ. Over. Excellent. Well, again, one of the things to remember, you can thin out the diesel, so to speak, and make up the difference with the cooking oil. So on this case, you did just the reverse. The diesel was just kind of an enhancer. Now somebody's asking, what about the old M35s? Well, that's another story altogether. That's deuce and a half, OK? And let's not forget the deuces, also, are diesel, but they're diesel universal fuel engines. And they will run on cooking oil. They'll run on diesel. They'll run on diesel and mow gas. They'll run on all kinds of different combinations. There is a Bible mixing book for the deuce and a half. So, the, the, go ahead. I heard a voice. Okay. Well, they'll run on literally everything. I mean, if it's combustible, wine and water, sounds like you're going to church, the formula, you only get like one or two gallons, miles to the gallon or seven gallons to the mile. I don't know which one it was. But any, the Bible for the fuel mix and adjusting the motor accordingly, is quite extensive. So, like I said, we call it a Bible. It was fairly thick. But it also gives you, in each step, with whatever your fuel option is, it gave you all of your adjustment specifications, too, for the ignition system. So they work this out your government spent all the money on this people and that's why those trucks are actually a pretty good choice I wouldn't change the engine I wouldn't crop them and shorten them leave it a deuce and a half and it will be priceless when the time comes It's not valuable right now. I still use it as a truck but with the with the pickup trucks in pecking order right now the Cuck-Vs are still probably the most affordable of military trucks. The Dodge, Rams are about the same price. The M715 seemed to have crept up into a crazy price because a lot of people have been Bigfoot-ing them or beefing them up. But that's where the original Big Foot axles came from for the first Big Foot truck was off of a Jeep M715. Not off a deuce and a half. The M715 combination, the gear ratio. for the pumpkin, the drivetrain, was perfect. Actually, remember, that's a vehicle you don't drive over 45 miles an hour. It'll make convoy speed, but if you take the governor off, it just beats the hell out of the drivetrain. Just a heads up for people who have done it and don't know, or I should say people who are thinking about doing it and don't know any better, hopefully I'm going to save you from ruining your truck, okay, and having to spend a lot of money rebuilding your drivetrain. Just a heads up. It was designed the M7-15 like the Gamma Goat and many vehicles like the 1965 Chevy. The Chevy had more maneuverability on flats, but most of the vehicles were built for the roads being destroyed, having to constantly work cross country, and having to go over any and every obstacle that might exist, including water. So, the vehicles were designed for lots of torque, low range, and they could climb through anything. They could climb over anything, which is why they are definitely desirable vehicles. However, as they've gotten older, they become a little more expensive to maintain. The compensation for that is that most everything that's available, or I should say that we would need to keep the truck running, With all three of those military trucks, the M715, the M880, the Cuck v. Family, all the parts are available for all three. And new parts that are even beefier. So you actually can double plus win on that one. The only thing is you've got to spend some money to do it. And that's where it bites. So these are all the checks and balance issues when it comes to looking at transport and prepping for this type of situation. The big thing is also keep the design simple. Don't start to dress anything up. Keep it simple. The original design was user friendly for maintenance. Most of your military vehicles, if they are actually military vehicles, even have tags on the electrical components. So if you had to change a component, it literally was line up the numbers. One to one, two to two, wire number three to three, wire number four to wire number four. It was ridiculous. It was designed so anybody could do maintenance on these vehicles. So heads up on that one too. Another thing somebody's asking about, what about, okay hold on here. Well okay, somebody was asking about transmissions here a minute ago, hint hint. Rebuilding an engine, it can be done, but here again, if you're serious about going that deep, you're going to need a tool inventory, number one. Pliers and a screwdriver, we won't make it. And if you're going to invest in a rebuild kit, it's going to be specific. There are some overlapping parts, depending on the engine family. Chevys are good for a few things overlapping and about maybe 40% of a rebuild kit. Sometimes higher, because of which block, what size engine. But it's going to be engine specific, so you want to make sure that you are investing your money in the right place, right time. The other consideration here is somebody's asking about hopping them up in performance. I wouldn't. I stick with factory standard. And the reason again, more parts out there. Now, if you do buy something that is beefed up, one of the things that we do, like I said, I've got a 383 and a 440 engine sitting off to the side here that are Chrysler. They can be dropped into a vehicle and upgrade whichever Chrysler I wanted to right now. Would I do it? No, not right away. I like the 318. The 350 is a great engine. 351 Winters run forever. The 250 or 300 Chevy inline sixes run forever. The same with the Fords. The older Ford 250s and the older 300s. Any one of those I got 320, 340,000 miles out of and that's way back when they weren't building things quite the way they are today as far as some of the advantages we have. Unfortunately the advantages they've created to get down range farther, they've also made everything throw away. So there's the disadvantage there. And that's what's making vehicles with really good potential obsolete. And obsolete because parts are not available, which means we get back to the subject I started two hours ago with. You're going to have to start thinking about the idea of playing road warrior and building parts or rebuilding what you have. So you need to be thinking ahead and doing a little research should have a little bit of a history of that. If you're older, you might already have experience with basic crude road rebuilding by comparison to plug and play in a box today. And it is two different worlds. So again, think ahead, look back, and find out what you can. Some vehicles just fun. I enjoy working on stuff. No, I'll swear it a lot. I'm terrible around some things. OK? In fact, if a vehicle starts fighting me, I'll start fighting back. I just get a little, I spend energy that way, think about it that way. But the big thing here again is that you learn and then once you've done it, you can't unlearn it. You're going to have that experience with you guys and it makes the second time around doing anything a lot easier. It's like anything else. You mechanically, you physically have to be able to get in there and get your hands dirty. Now if you do right you won't have to do it that often and if you pay attention you don't abuse the piece of equipment you got it'll last you a good long time and right now money is going to be tight real quick. It's obvious they're trying to catch everybody flat-footed. The numbers don't match the noise with regard to government. The numbers do not match the noise. So remember that we've been betrayed over and over again. We're going to be betrayed this time just like the last time. It's just that we're not the ones are gonna get caught flat-footed others probably but we're not going to be We're at the top bringing a cap get cap hot footed leaving either guy We're taking off here God bless our Republic Now for day ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run And we're on the march both day and night Kick him to flat beat him down hard Run over them with that M715 M880 or Cukpey. Hold them under the tire until the tire stops moving. Then back off, strip the enemy dead. Throw them off to the coyotes and pigs in the side of the road. Then get out of the battle. Remember, your vehicle is a weapon. Use it appropriately. Anyway, we're gonna get out of here for now. Ed taken over, more LTR coming up. We will be back.
