Mark Koernke discussed preparedness, ammunition sourcing, and vehicle maintenance on October 16, 2025. He covered .38 Special ammunition availability from European surplus, reloading strategies for cost efficiency, and AR-15 upper receivers and barrels as critical investments. The show featured extensive discussion of vehicle selection and maintenance, particularly comparing Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge trucks for reliability and parts availability in a post-collapse scenario. Callers contributed information on small truck models, wood gasification fuel systems, and alternative energy solutions. A Guns and Gadgets segment covered a major lawsuit filed by New Jersey against SIG Sauer over P320 pistol defects. The final hour addressed navigation skills, compass procurement, map printing on Tyvek, and preparedness logistics.
I just want mensas, who's better free than the happy loo- It permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly harm and keep our country. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit. So their children will be your leaders, send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter, fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. Pray to God as Iowaki vanished in the midst of the once 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. 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? Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the first hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm our Quirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. both on and behind the lines in occupied territories West Northeast South and North Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on Www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org and we're on satellite want to say hi to all of our merchant marine operators out there no matter what body of water you are Presently operating off from BU and the Great Lakes, the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, every river, tributary, channel, canal, and a whole lot more. And O-Game fitting, let's see, back marishes and swamps. So wherever you are, we appreciate the fact that you are both listening and rebroadcasting analog and digital. We are on a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States. And it is Thursday. Man, it has been a busy and yet I wanted to get a lot more done than I did Thursday, mostly because of bureaucracy and things that just had to be done which pull you to the technology rather than out into the physical world. But it is the 16th of October, 17th year of open obvious and in your face Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K 2025 Old Earth Calendar. Give it all she's got, Captain! 125%?! Oh, and she would still blow up, probably with us on it. And 2025 Battle for the Republic Book One, The Dance of Swords, Betrayal, Extraordinaire, Betrayal, It is the norm, not the exception. And it has again been a beautiful day. It has been blue sky horizon to horizon I assume that the spy satellite technology is desperately seeking whatever they can in the Midwest It's not gonna do them any good if people think ahead not a whole lot the enemy is gonna get because Operational security is in place upset. So everybody's doing a great job there, but we're taking advantage of the weather the spice harvesters Oh, I mean the soybean soybean harvesters are out there in force Yes, Soybean harvester sire. There's no other cloud like it in the universe. Yes, dune only with soybeans. And they are money. Soybeans are M-O-N-E-Y. Just like cows. When you smell cows, yeah, caribou. That's money. That's actually big money. Smell that? Yep. That's cow money. In so many ways. In so many ways. Anyway. Food and ammunition should be a priority. That again is one of the things we want to touch on. Food and ammunition. Right now over at Delta King Tactical and I believe Montana AR-15, you're going to find a couple of really good deals on 38 special standard ball out there right now. Everybody's been asking me questions about this. Where the hell did this 130 grain 38 come from? I'm pretty sure, although there is a DOD contract for that, or at least I believe there is, because under the Geneva Convention, the Hague Treaty, the ammunition has to be jacketed, FMJ. And for the longest time, the US was using a 148 grain round nose FMJ that was made in house in the US. You'll notice that this 130, here's a 132 grain, there's a 135, but I think there's a 130. These I think are all Euro bullets because again, it's stuff that's been scraped up out of their concept of how things work. And up until just a little while ago, although I do believe they still have a quantity in service, France, Italy, even England had a large number of revolvers in domestic service. Not so much for the public police force. They seem to use the smaller caliber automatics and they've shifted up to 9 millimeter. But in the 38s, there are quite a few. And as a matter of fact, if you pay attention, there are a number of K-frame 38s coming into surplus right now. Zastava, for instance, is a Zastava K-frame. Basically looks like a cross between a Colt Trooper Mark II and a Smith & Wesson Model 19. It's not a big frame, but it is a, again, a K-frame, looks to be a K-frame pattern. But it's got a mix of dimensions that kind of shift it halfway in between. And I notice I said Trooper Mark 2. Trooper Mark 1 is very plain Jane straight lines. The Trooper Mark 2 is where they started to do all the flaring and advancing and elevating these sites to create a more aggressive combat target site and all the other fun stuff. So anyway, that's where those rounds came from. They work just fine. They print perfectly. In fact, I know a couple guys that have been shooting a lot of the factory for that reason. They wanted to do a little bit of an evaluation. And they print really well. Nice tight groups. There's not a lot of flail. We're odd spinners or outriders where you've got something that just doesn't stay on target. And they're reasonably priced. If that's what's available, that works just fine. Now, I would point out if I was reloading, nah, I'm just going to do lead 148 grain wadcutter, 158 grain semi-wadcutter, and stick your crank it out as much of that as you can as quickly as you can. Now, if you've got a deal on jacketed ammo, fine. Hollow point is not critical. Nice, but not critical. Shot everything in the cart mouth, super bells, etc. in .38 and .357. And yes, you do get a big flat open up and all the energy goes to target. But again, pay attention to the availability here. Go with cheapest for the mostest because once you got that brass, it's boxer prime, non-corrosive and it's yours. So then you can start loading for two or three or four dollars a box depending on the cost on primers. And primers are the big issue. Powder, you can go again. You can back off on the scale on 38 and make it a very comfortable shoot and do almost twice as much shooting. Remember, revolvers don't have an automatic, you know, a slide system that they have to move. They're a sealed system. So if you need to shoot more to get people more time on a gun, the revolver makes a lot more sense for volume production reloading. Don't forget also you do not need a Magnum primer for revolvers. No, they're nice I mean Magnum primer gives you a little hotter bang cap right off the bat and Depending on the powder it actually push 150 to 200 feet per second more sometimes depending on the powders and a lot of them aren't available anymore So it's like man just figure on standard powder load Standard powder whatever you get your hands on Primers whatever you get your hands on but most of it's just going to be standard pistol So stick with the standard pistol primer. Don't worry about magnum. If you do have magnum primers and you have a 357 magnum, or if you have large pistol primers for 44 mag, that's what they go to. You gravitate the primers and you refine and husband your resources to make it work for you. So again, AR-15-1. Oh, forgive me, Montanaair15.com, that's one, and the other Delta Team Tactical. And yeah, I would check Air 15 discounts too because they have had some really good bunch prices on things. A month ago and two months ago, they got a batch of 380 Auto in, sold out almost immediately, but got another batch from the same source and they had a very good price on 380 Auto. Shop, find the best price, buy the living bejesus out of it, or as much as you can afford because you're not going to lose a penny. Not at all. Also, if you haven't seen what gold has been doing, shazam, Sergeant Carter, shazam! Yeah, shazam! So anyway, not a surprise, silver, doing the same thing, but here's something about silver that everybody was talking about and now they're not talking about. The ratio in terms of price because of the devaluation of the currency is not an increase in gold. Gold doesn't increase. One ounce is one ounce is one ounce is one ounce people. When the digits go up and what it costs to buy that one ounce of consistent gold, that's a devaluation of your currency. But understand, no matter what the devaluation is, typically the silver to gold ratio is very specific just as the silver to copper ratio is. This is why gold, silver, and copper were always so traditionally popular as a standard imperial or national currency, no matter what country you look at. You'll notice that everybody pretty well gravitated to the same concept in terms of a tri-metal system. I don't care if you're in Japan, China, America, or the Americas, or Europe, doesn't make any difference, hell, even in Africa. The value of the metals, to a degree, is always determined by availability, obviously. And there are some variations. There are some metals that other countries have used that we don't, but again, the metals are always a valuable product in the market as a commodity. Now, another thing I would say this, I wouldn't come off any copper at all right now. If you have copper wire and you can save it, my recommendation is make a five gallon pail. Now, most electricians do this, but they go get beer money at the end of the week or at the end of the month. And that shouldn't be your plan right now. We need copper for any number of industrial military applications along with currency application. So copper, every shred, every piece, I don't throw any copper away and I never send it to scrap, ever. What I do is strip it wherever possible, if not, and again it's a matter of time consumption, I only have so many minutes in the day. So what I'll do is if I have a bunch of wire snippings, they go in the 5 gallon pail that says copper. When I fill up a copper bucket enough, I can pack it down with a little bit of a piece of 4x4 and tamp it down and put some more in there. When it's full, I put a lid on it, dunk, dunk, dunk, and it doesn't have to be food grade because this is just junk metal. This is metal. You're not going to do anything to hurt it. I put that on the shelf and I go start filling up another 5 gallon pail of copper. We're going to need that copper for a number of other solutions. Now, if everybody were on the same page, we'd be fine. Here's the contest on an interesting one, aluminum. While I don't give away aluminum cans, I'm very tempted to crush a bunch of them. And by the way, I do have some that are pretty beat up, so they would be crushed soon. If they can't be turned in for 10 cents for pop can money, which we have here in Michigan, You get rid of all those, get the money back, turn that into whatever you want it to be converted into once you get the FRNs, the digits, the pennies, whatever off it. But if it doesn't have a return, I don't send that to scrap either. Now I'd be tempted to crush it, but understand that the 12-ounce aluminum can is the optimal, perfect, consistent, homemade mortar shell. You ever look at the bottom of your pop can? You see how the pop can has that bevel, that arc to it at the bottom for resilience to reinforce the can with the carbonation? Guys, if you properly load that can, it is the perfect base for a mortar shell, especially in a colstrom-type mortar. And poom, it catches everything. That arc affords an efficient distribution of thrust weight against the projectile. It is priceless. The only problem, as I mentioned the other day, is unfortunately, all of these pop cans from China are now half as thin as they were, which means that all of the older cans are worth that much more. OK? Now, that's aluminum. No matter what, it's going to be used for something. Problem, pop cans take up space. So if they're really fragged and beat up, they get crushed. And then we melt them later for aluminum, because we do aluminum casting, just like we do pop metal casting. So stock like that, if it's small pieces of stuff, it gets crushed. Once again, we've got cardboard barrels, or we toss it into whatever plastic barrels or junk you cut the top off of, you get for free, and you load it up with aluminum. Now that eventually doesn't last long because we also recast and I will say this something I mentioned before. We've already done a plywood AR-15 receiver like multiple times over. We actually have hardwood in ash and oak and we have plywood in marine It's already been done in marine plywood, but it was also done in just conventional stock plywood, which means the board could come from anywhere, including, you know, you never know what they're buying for Lowe's or whatever. It could be coming from Canada, could be coming from China. If it's from China, a lot of it's crap, but still, it'll work. The interesting thing is, we can also do lost cast molds of lower receivers. Why not? Everybody goes, what? Well, think about it, lost cast molding, the cool thing about this is that A, about 95% of everything that needs to be done is already finished with the casting. The important thing is to actually allow for a little more material that can be worked out so that you can dress and clean up the mold. Now, we're curious, I have not seen any of our testing on this so far, but it's something we already agreed to and we provided all the machinery and tooling that we could so that when the time comes for finish, I mean, I have tooling up the yin yang. So I handed over what they got the cherry pick out of the crates boxes and brown cans that we have here, the brown Kennedy boxes. And that project is in motion. But realistically, if we can make them out of plastic, making a cast aluminum AR-15 lower, the issue is what's its durability. Not whether or not it'll work. It would work. But here's a little trick. I've already explained this to people that were working on the wooden AR-15 lower receivers. Using steel, ideally stainless steel, which will not have any reactive electrolysis process with the aluminum, we can do inserts. And so basically reinforce properly at key points all of the pivot or pin or retention points that we need to. The neat thing about working with the cast aluminum also is that drill for all the small pins, plungers, and springs, It is not difficult at all either. Most important there is maintaining some kind of precision and it doesn't even have to be perfect. So that's another project that's in motion right now that is doing very, very well. Okay, and again, guys, I'll contribute anything I can. If we have to, we'll buy parts for research and we'll pass on the machinery. I do have a lot of tooling. We have a resource for somebody that does resale. And the gentleman just bought three different pole barns full of machine shop tooling of every era. I think I mentioned it. I got a drill the other day from 1913. It's a hand drill. And it was kind of, you know, kind of punky, kind of stiff. It was only because it hadn't been lubricated in probably God knows how many years. But it's in virtually excellent condition. Once properly lubricated, you back all the threads off and put everything back together where it's supposed to be, this thing runs like a raped ape. From 1913, actually I think it's 17 February 1917, so it was made during World War I, which is rather fascinating. There's a lot of stuff like that out there. We're preserving as much as we can. We blend the new with the old and we're way ahead of the curve, but our stuff is more resilient and we can build stuff cheaper, which is the most important aspect of the project. Now, with that in mind, upper receivers and barrels are an investment everybody should keep making. Just keep buying AR-15 upper receivers. Guys, barrels and uppers are the issue and the enemy knows it, which is why the government has any kit guns that come in, any kits. Used to be they just cut the receivers. Today, unless you want to spend a god-awful amount of money, which is what they do, they charge you a horrible amount of money for a barrel that in many cases has already been shot quite a bit. Whereas in the past, an HK, you know, like a G3 kit was only $65, $75, or $100, and you got the barrel and every other small part, the only thing is the receiver was cut. Today, the barrel is cut in five pieces. What does that tell you? It tells you the barrel is a priority. Barrels are cash. Barrels you need to invest in. I don't care what weapon it is, but the most common Glock barrels, AR-15 barrels, Take your pick of any of the more common piscals even. There's a lot of stuff that's aftermarket right now. You can get sig and Glock barrels for a great price at aimsurplus.com, aimsurplus.com, aimsurplus.com. Okay? Ideas. Everybody's bitching about the problem, but nobody's coming up with any solutions. You notice that about social media? Social media is just one big stinking winey fest. It's either gushing over nothing or it's a wine fest. And as long as you don't have to get into the physical real world and deal with reality, oh man, they're spinning their wheels. It's one big cluster screw. And that makes it useless. It's eating your time up, but it is not performing. We need to perform. We could beat Jesus out of these tools we have. We have even better tools than we had 30 years ago in the way of direct communications. What are they doing with it? Wasting it. We got to call her. Call her. Jump in there, please. Hey Mark, this is Irish Whiskey. I just wanted to mention for anyone building a .308, right now Palmetto State Armory has a daily deal clearance special on a BLEM 20 inch rifle length .308 complete upper complete with charging handle and bolt carrier group. Also has an adjustable gas block and it's 429, so 430 for the entire 20 inch top half of a 308. Over. That's most of the rifle right there. If you got the bolt carrying the charging handle along with the upper, that's most of the rifle. And again, that's a 7.62x51 NATO solution and we need MBRs. If you've watched Any of the videos that are coming out or keep popping out about the battlefield in Ukraine? Yes, the drones are a threat, but look at the distances. What's happened to the battlefield is guys, also, instead of everything being close quarter, 200 yards or less, take a look at the hundreds of yards between contact points. Any army, our army, the militia, the patriot movement, we committed to main battle rifles and have been in that place while they were trying to get everybody to ridicule them. And then all of a sudden here at the last minute, so to speak, government goes, oh, we need a big battle rifle cartridge, even though they've made it in 6.8 because it's a bastard round, bastard bullet. And that's not accidental. That's very much intentional. Don't make any mistake about that. But a 7.62x51 NATO main battle rifle is something that we can build and we can have in the inventory on a massive scale. And that's the next thing everybody needs to invest in. In pecking order right now, I would say AR-15, because all of you can afford that. If you have an AR-15, then here's where the toss-up is. If you don't have shotguns on the shelf, you need a cheap couple of shotguns. Air defense saturation is how you defeat drones and it's just like any other air defense solution Which is what I was going to touch on after the bottom of the hour break But we also need MBRS main battle rifles in main battle rifle calibers, and I don't care what it is 8 millimeter 7 millimeter 762 by 54 are 762 by 51 NATO Those chamberings, those calibers, are heavy hitters at greater range. You got more thud power when it gets to where it's going. And because they're yapping about two things. Gee, in the modern battlefield, everybody's got body armor. Well, duh, no squat. Number two is we're going to see more mechanicals. So we need something bigger and heavier to get through. We already have a good solution, 7.62x51NATO. With the proper bullets built for that, you know, bullet is in projectiles built for that chambering, guys, we can do anything the 6.8 can do. They just don't want you to realize that. They've come up with a spend the American taxpayer's bullshit solution in a situation where they already had the answer on the shelf. Frankfort Arsenal did all the research with your tax dollars over a 30 year period starting 60 years ago with regard to perfecting and advancing an even more sophisticated 7.62x51 NATO round. And the bastards all know it. They're all just a bunch of backstabbing parasite wallet munching pieces of trash working for the Israelis. And because those tanks are tied in, we get screwed every step of the way. On our side with the Patriot movement, ignore the enemy, so to speak. Focus on common sense. These rifles are affordable. Between that upper right there and then looking at Bear Creek Arsenal or Palmetto State Armory, you can put an MBR together for about 6, looks like about 632, 650, right around there. So, in fact, there are some sales on the complete AR-10 lowers from a couple of different companies. So that's where you need to hawk and swoop in when the deal takes place. And yes, somebody's asking, yes, you can make an 80% AR-10 lower. They do have them. Delta Team Tactical has some sales on lowers right now if you want an 80%. If you have the jigs and if you have everything you need and you understand it's not that difficult, Yep, you could put together an AR-10 lower for even less. So yes, good point there. Yes, 80% AR-10 lowers for many different companies are available. Although I think the base manufacturers are pretty much the same. Maybe there's five, six of them total. But all of them end results the same, complete rifle. Anything else, sir? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. Although I did want to talk. No, thank you. Thank you for the input. And again, that's PalmettoStateArmory.com. PalmettoStateArmory.com. PalmettoStateArmory.com. We're at the bottom of the hour and Edward hopefully is right there. And I'll tell you what we're going to do. Somebody asked for that again because they heard it. We were talking about a lot of different subjects. I know it, I think this is another one of those AI produced songs, be quite honest personally. It was requested by one of our friends who's been a long, long, long time listener and just in case, she didn't hear it. Second Civil War, it's over on Planet Ronin Music, that's the channel on YouTube. Second Civil War, Planet Ronin Music. And then if you could add, Battle Cry of Freedom Rally Around the Flag by Steve Voss. If you could, those are the two that we're going to play. We're going to replay. I think Ed's got it. Ready to go. Here we go. And you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com and LibertyTreeRadio.org. Right here on Thursday. It is the 16th of October. We're going to benchmark that one more time. Here we go. Well we're fighting for freedom sir, that's what we're fighting for. And for our property. And when you do, just make sure that you use as a title, music request, and then incorporate the artist or the band, the name of the song, and if you can, an attachment, most everybody does anyway, like, well Mark, this is the version I'd like to hear, and we'll do what we can. Put you on the list is all I can do. I'll put you on the pink list, like government. Only in this case, we're not big government. We're just... Making sure we make a really big list lots of people have made requests multiple So it's amazing how from so many points of the compass People remember music that we played a year ago or year and a half ago I've had that comment several times. Hey that song even played it in a while and it's working on heritage, which is the One of the Patriot bands when we were doing the micro effect there were of course out West and actually living not too far from Joe McNeil, and they are a fantastic group. I don't know that they're doing anything right now. Somebody asked me once we played that the other day, I don't know what they're doing. I have to hunt them down. It's a family band. Originally they had all the kids, everybody doing the music. It was part of their homeschooling process. So these kids were phenomenal artists. Growing up now they have to be adult artists. They aren't kids anymore. This is year 2025. So that means they may have gone into all kinds of interest. I will have to pull through my notes. I'll have to pull through my notes, but they're not called Heritage anymore. They went back to the family name for the band. Mizziah Mountain was one that they used. The last time we were in contact with them was when Joe McNeil was shutting down the micro effect. Right. It wasn't Mizziah Mountain. Mizziah Mountain is the Kentucky Head Hunters. Yeah, as a matter of fact, because their family name for the band and they did do have a if I remember they have a you know, maybe this is what they use it Mizeia Mountain is what they use because brother felt but I don't think that's the name that they've got on YouTube dad. That's not the name. They're going back to the family, you know moniker But again, if they are still doing music, we'll see if we can even get them up on the air. We'll work on that. Because again, if they're still doing it, they have been doing family production for a very long time. People actually are great artists. And all the instrumentation, everything you hear there is done by that group. And it's all family members. They're musicians. But most importantly, they're instrumentalists. So, definitely high quality and worth putting out there for everybody to find. But we also need our Patriot authors to be presented first. I know we've got a lot of other interesting stuff and even I dig, I'm constantly looking for more interesting things to dig out that some of them are just from the past and you may not remember them, but I do. Some people never heard, you haven't heard them, maybe not old enough. But there's been a bunch of other great music produced. The ballad era of the 60s had more than just Johnny Horton. There were quite a few other people who put out some phenomenal just plain hard thumping Patriot songs. And I think that's what turns me off about Trumpet is if you'll notice they did everything they could not to present a Patriot pro-American theme. Okay, the Village People is a queer band. I don't care what they try to lie their ass off about, it's a queer band. Nothing inspirational about the music, nothing that was uplifting. It just, it was absolutely, I think they were laughing their ass off, the Israelis were, because it's just absolutely shallow hell popcorn fluff. And that's not what we need if we're going to save this country or if we're fighting for this country. What we need is inspirational and dynamic, but also integrated with historical reference because it helps you to remember, you know, where you're going, what your goal is, where we're trying to be. I don't want to own anybody else, but by God, you know what? Here's what we should be doing. We need to make a general promise. Any B-Witch who thinks that they can spew the, you will own nothing, you'll be happy. We need to go find them and take everything from them so that they can be happy. Any piece of trash globalist who has embraced or is parroting that phrase, you will own nothing and you'll be happy. We need to find them. We need to cast right in the bottom eyes of them. But before we do that, we need to take everything from them that they own. We need to literally strip them of every piece of property they have and ensure that they're put into a nice little lilies of the field storage point where they don't have anything. That's what should happen to those pieces of trash. Because, well, it's like I said before, let me ask you all something here. I want you to think. The gold was banned for all of Americans to not own. Gold, you couldn't have gold. But the gold then was taken by the traitors in the federal corporate mechanism and they gave it to somebody. Now who got the gold? They told you and then they tried to convince you. Well, stupid people afterwards who were gobbling all kinds of dog vomit up. A bunch of stupid people were told, well, gold isn't worth anything. Really? So I will ask, as I have asked many times with stupid people recently, where'd the gold go? If the gold was worthless, why did somebody else take it? If your gold was worthless, why did somebody else steal it? Everybody see how that works? So that means we got some lion pecker wood piece of shallow hell trash as a front dummy flapping their yap telling you, oh, gold's worthless. I don't know why you'd want gold. But you know what? The old Jewish mob, they sucked up every ounce. Everybody let them steal. Isn't that amazing? Isn't that just fascinating? By the way, I heard a voice. Do we have a caller? Who do we have? Tom, the Kentucky head and now are called Brother Feltz. Brothers Phelps, right. That's what I thought. You know, Tom, I've got you there, so you know, don't say anymore, but we need another truckload of the stuff. Okay, so we're going to start coordinating that now before the snow flies. We need another truckload of the stuff. Pair. We don't care what flavor, okay? Any all flavors. Got to get a vehicle up and running. Ours are down right at the moment. Well, if we have to, we'll come up with the vehicles. Somebody will. We'll just start touchy feeling on that for me, okay? Let's make sure if we can get it in motion, we'll get a vehicle there for you. Well, I can probably, yeah, I just gotta talk to the person. How much you gonna need? A truckload would be fine. As much as they're willing to come off, we're willing to take. All right, I'll get back to you soon. Okay. Don't go crazy, but just, you know, whatever it is that's reasonable, that's fine by us. So we'll work the rest of it out. And let me see if I can track down another transport for you. What have you got in the way of the truck there right now that isn't running? Ford? Chevy? No, Chevy Colorado, I think it is. I wonder where the hell those... I've always wondered where the hell those came from because they slipped right by me. Basically, it's a baby F-150 or a blown up, bloated up, steroid-ed ranger. You know what I mean? We'll call it a Colorado. It's a Ford-style area, right? Or is it Chevy? No, Chevy. Chevy color. Oh, same problem. That's right. S10 versus the... Yeah. Okay. All it is is more like a glorified S10 or whatever. Yeah, exactly. But its wheelbase is slightly bigger. It's one of those in-between everything. And I totally missed that it even existed until a little while ago. I mean, I love the little Rangers and I really love the little S10s. And I really, really love the older Dakotas. You know, they're tinier and they're actually they're more suited to what we actually need right now to be quite honest So and the biggest pain the boy about the collar the biggest pain both but the color hours when you do the fuel thing you got cut a big hole in the box just to get Get to it to get to the fuel pump. Yeah Well, yeah, or take the fuel. You got to take the tank off or yes. What we have been doing is modifying all of our clunker, you know, tactical trucks by taking the tank out one time, cutting a access hatch with a thermal cutter, and then plasma cutter and then making a new panel from another wrecked truck, you know larger and then screwing it all into place so that if you know, flush point screws you have a tag point for your knee every time you get in the back a hundred times over and Once that's done, you won't ever have to do it again. Not the way we did But it is a suffer to do it once and I would say that for anybody else listening Remember, this is one of the many things we've talked about that down the road, electronics are going to be failing left and right. Do you have replacements? And fuel pumps? Notorious. Not always with the Chevys, but the 90 series Chevys had a big problem for the longest time with that. So it just became an automatic, hey, you're going to have to change it. When you've got to change it, just be ready. And when you do, here's what we do so we don't do it again. Go ahead, jump in there, caller. Yes, Tex-Mex. Yeah, I've been looking at one of those Colorado's. They kind of came out, you know, I think in the late 20, just before 2010 and they've been selling them since the GM version is the Canyon. But what's interesting about that is they actually came out with one, I don't know the caller if he has the V6 or the diesel. They're coming out with a four-cylinder diesel. It's supposed to have a lot of torque on it. The only problem with those is that the thing is, I think it's not a bad diesel, but the problem is that the emissions choke all of the new diesels now. The emissions choke the hell out of it and just set up the diesel so bad, it's just a shame. It also runs on death, but I've heard some people kind of do delete. It deletes on those and they're not a bad truck in the diesel if you can get the six-speed. Well, it's interesting. Again, they've not been around as long as some of the others in the fleet that we use, but I have... Seriously, it's one of those vehicles... That's a void. I didn't have any clue where the hell it came from. And I'm paying attention to stuff. So now that we know they exist, it's one of those vehicles that eventually, inevitably, we're going to end up with one. But obviously Tom has one so that's going to be on the list of things that need to be fixed and We need to come up with a better solution perhaps maybe a totally different vehicle because we don't need Tom walking around Need Tom driving around or at least somebody near him But the interesting thing here again, too if it's too if it has too many complications, then stepping back and going to another model is probably a better choice. If the diesel is persnickety as an issue, then if you do want diesel, another diesel would probably be your solution, especially with the way things are going with the economy right now, et cetera. We're trying to look at minimizing variance, standardizing wherever possible, that way wrecks like I'm doing right now. I'm pulling a trans out of one of the damaged vehicles, a wreck, that we kept because all the parts are the same. So I'm pulling the trans out of the one, pulling the trans out of the wreck, taking the trans we're pulling out. I'm going to rebuild it. And we've got more parts on the shelf. So again, the big thing here is if we're going to be, especially with what's coming, In a sense, if you're going to be looking at it seriously, you need to ensure that you have something that we can access parts for. It's going to be efficient with regard to its long-term performance in the team. And cost efficiency is an issue, being able to afford to keep it running, keep it functional. Because when parts get to a certain point in difficulty of access, they become unobtainium price. Unfortunately, cars are no different from anything else in any industry. That's worth a lot more. This one works. Yours doesn't. Yes, I know. I know very well that mine doesn't work. And I still probably need yours. So again, one of the other things here too with the small truck, let me back up on something here. The small quarter ton type truck like the older style Rangers S10s or whatever. Tex-Mex, you're out in Texas, those are around. It seems to me like people aren't wanting to come off them because they are fuel efficient, they are more reliable. In the pecking order, I would say the Dakota for the 90s through the early aughts, especially with the Magnum engine, guys, those things are hard to kill. And if you run into any, here's the thing. Up here, we have rust. Tommy knows this. We have Michigan rust. Why? In the upper states, they put salt on the roads. Many people who don't travel much, and many of you who are listening right now, do not appreciate that what you call a junk truck in Texas would be a, is a gemstone here in Michigan. Okay, I cannot emphasize that enough when I watch guys shooting pickup truck we'd be good to have you on them I Mean and here's the thing as long as it's got a body in a frame We got motors up the rear up the yin yang. We've got engine packs and everything else we need The problem is that unfortunately the metal mods of Michigan kill our vehicles up here and most people don't understand that so again If you're down south, the vehicle for tactical purposes, a combat vehicle, most important is it's in one piece, it's cost efficient. Why? Because you're going to lose it. If you, you know, people, cheap truck, good. You can have five cheap trucks as opposed to one stupid expensive truck. And if you lose one cheap truck, you still have the other cheap trucks to run on. See how that works? Think tactical slash combat operations. You are going to lose pieces of equipment. What you want to do is take one of those nice old trucks you got down there, break out the restolium, give it about, or house paint. To be quite honest, everybody goes, well it looks terrible, the big job is bad, it's got the dust to ages sandblasting from the desert or from the plains. Well you know what, I'm gonna tell you the best tactical paint that you can use within these vehicles is ultra flat house paint. And if you got something like that ultra flat house paint, you use a gun and you can make a really bad ass kick butt camouflage that looks like, oh, it's tactical. The important thing is that it actually works. Okay, but the house paint, guys, it's like what I do with the vehicles that are right now that are tactically painted. They're West Texas truck that got the dust of ages blowing through it. Did I try to buff it up and make the body look really perfect from the paint to the bare steel? No, you know what I did? I undercoated everything and then I gave it a flat base color and then I camouflaged it. And you know what happens when the camouflage starts to get flaky? You break out the camouflage paint and you paint it all again. And I think I have five layers of paint on this vehicle, the one right now that we're working on. Well, no, that one I'm not working on, forgive me, it's ready to go. But it's the idea that it was minimal cost. It's an eight-foot bed crew cab Chevy 2500 pickup truck and it has a matching trailer from another 2500 pickup truck. And then I have two more 1500s and a handful of Suburbans and then a few Tahoes and a couple of Denali's and I didn't pay big money for any of them. Okay, they all were from Facebook or looking around in West Texas and picking them up and hauling them away. And up here, they're worth a lot more, but I ain't planning on selling them because they are worth more and I couldn't buy one if I wanted to, not for the price we got for these things. And the big thing here again is I don't I don't care what you standardize on but pick a period of time and a model and That's your baseline. That's what you want to do. We got color. Go ahead. Jump in there color Yeah, I was gonna talk about the s10 since I'm just putting mine back together I didn't know this but here in the United States They quit making them in 2004 but in Brazil They made them up until 2014, maybe 2015. So that's why the S10, the parts are cheap. I just spent like $600 on parts and I'm redoing the whole engine basically. You know, the top end, pulled the blocks, doing gaskets and everything else. And replacing valves. Actually I'm already done with all that crap. But you can still get parts for the S10 super cheap Plus they're solid. They got like a heavy-duty frame on them and with the as long as the 43 the v6 43 that thing's a tank that basically just the ship 350 with the two back to cylinder set knocked off That's all that engine is and most important here Well, also tons of parts laying around. There's a whole bunch of those trucks still out there, even for all of the vehicle assassination and everything else that took place. Like with the Obama, you know, cash for clunkers. That killed a lot of our air parts. Uh-oh, we're at the top. And we're going to do this. We're going to stay on time. Will everybody out there stay right where you are? We'll be right back. God bless our republic. Yeah, this is the New World Order. We shall prevail. Ladies and gentlemen, the Empire's on the run. We're in a march. Run! Use the bathroom! Grab a cup of coffee. I still have some. And we will be back with the second Army intel report right here on Liberty 3 Radio. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught. According to the state, you read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan, you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize. farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children can be paid. 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? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution and the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right, and pray to God and torture freedom burning bright, as Iowoki vanished in the midst of whence he came. And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the... The second hour of the Intelligence Report, I'm Mark Kornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, north, northwest, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. We're on satellite and that's because of many friends who listen and rebroadcast Liberty Tree Radio. We appreciate that. We are also on a myriad of other communications technologies including a lot of friends that we have in Europe and again we've received another donation from England, I understand, so I want to say thank you. You guys have enough trouble as it is. You don't need to worry about sending us money here. I know the situation. Everybody understands the sad situation England is in. So if you need that 2 or 5 or 10 euros to take care of something else, please hang on to it. We have the resources here to stay. I mean, keep our noses above the water line. England can go south faster than most, so take care. We appreciate the support given by any of our listeners from outside the US. Thank you. It is Thursday. It's been blue sky, horizon to horizon. It's probably going to get cold tonight. As soon as I get done with the program, I'll be moving plants the rest of the way into the greenhouse. I've got to divert myself to that. as a priority. book one, The Dance of Swords, but we are headed into the winter war and make no mistake about it. Also again, I'm pretty sure that we are real quick, if we're going any farther, all the way settled with all of the manual requests as far as I know. Now we do have, now that does not include, I've got three, I've got A militia out of Wyoming that has a big block of manuals. Those are going out soon. Those will be going from another location completely. Also, Wyoming, Ohio, another Ohio lot that's going out with the Ohio militia. That's quite a couple hundred sets, but that is complete. I understand that's boxed complete and the printer has that ready to go. And also another for one of the Kentucky militia units down there towards Louisville. So that might be driven down. We've got people headed down that way for a meetup. So with the Kentucky delivery, that might be going by direct truck rather than us worrying about some third party handling, the shipping, and all of that. Besides, again, we can pay for the fuel. It's cheaper than shipping it. Trust me on that one. So we are up on all the manuals. I will remind you, yes, you got a few extra items there. Pay attention. Look carefully through whatever it is sent because there's always a little something extra somewhere. Don't just assume, oh, I got some books. Pay attention. Look inside. Go a little farther. You'd be able to see what you might find. And also, again, let's see, if you would like to, I should put it out there. Might as well. Supporting Liberty Tree Radio in the process. If you would like a complete manual, okay, if we're running farther we've got Ed there. Go ahead. No, no, I'll finish up the manuals thing then I'll jump in. Okay. It's a $60 donation through Liberty Tree Radio. What it does is helping to support the network. We do have the end of the year billing coming up. That's separate. It'll be a drawing drive. But what it is, is a complete manual pack for being able to form a militia unit at the fire team squad level and easily can be used for operating a company or platoon. Well, platoon or a company, platoon being smaller. We do have a number of other techs that are in there. It's a mix of things, but it's everything that we print. There are one or two manuals that are not in the sets. that are separate and for a little more advanced work with regard to organization and operations, which down the road, if they tap you on the shoulder, you will have access to. Okay? So 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. But if you don't leave yet, go down to the Notations slash the comment area, write in manuals. That way we know it's not just a general donation. Manuals, and then we need your mailing address. OK? And once you do that, make sure your zip code is correct and put your zip code in there. Then you're done. You can go out to doing other things and we will get a package to you ASAP. Also, I say thank you for all the donations of materials. We had another box that was dropped off by one of our friends from down towards The Ohio border, it's a number of other great tactical gear items. So we've had some really fantastic donations from that direction. They're all in the big boxes, which are all now going into the little boxes that are being taped up. So everything will be pre sorted. All we do is get a name, put it on the box, get it out as quick as we can. Now, we have a number of different places other than just where we are, where these boxes come from for a reason, because the post office is not very trustworthy anymore. I don't consider them to be any different from any other federal agency, pretty much worthless turds. So, because of that, we are creative. Pay attention to some of the return addresses. All right, Dad. You'll understand what I'm talking about. Anyway, we've got Ed there. Go ahead. Yes, click update. The new link for the new old Discord is up on the libertytreeradio.org.com site. That is a link that doesn't need to be refreshed in seven days. Go click it. It'll send you to a questionnaire about why you want to join the broadcast. It's like what we had going with the Gilded. I changed the questions up a little bit, but still pretty simple. All the answers can be found on the libertytreeradio.forumview.com website, but you shouldn't need to do that. You can be creative with some of your answers. I don't mind that. Just don't make it a joke, because if you make it a joke, I won't take you seriously that you want to participate. Other than that, the Discord is up and running. Working on the other alternative, the one that everybody wants us to go to, I know some people don't want to go to Discord because they banned us once already, I totally agree. I don't want to go back to Discord, but it's an available tool and we'll use the enemy's tools as long as we can. None of this stuff is safe to use online, I'm sorry. It doesn't matter if you use a virtual private network thing, look at the companies that are... I love that data. It's like, oh, but I use this and it's totally secure. You know what companies run those and why they're putting them out there? Why do you think the US government lets those being run if they bypass your regional codes and locks. Guys, that's a backdoor funding for the CIA. It's the CIA's operating system. Those little VPN things that you're using, it's the side, it's MI6. It's their companies. That's just from government on both. Yeah, let's not forget that if it isn't one it's the other because that's how they cover their ass on you can't operate in America See foreign countries can spy on us But you know our own government supposedly can't well don't worry They don't MI6 slash or British intelligence of whatever kind or the Israelis are the two most common assets used for spying on the American people period Standard rule of thumb applies when playing online guys Treat it like you're playing in the street. Everybody can see what you're doing. The only one you're hiding it from is maybe your family or your spouse, but everybody else knows what you're doing. Yep, across the board. And that's why, again, everything is in question. Always. But we're working on a couple of other ideas or things that are popping up there. I will point out that we are going to be more, have a bigger footprint in Rumble. So keep an eye out there. Yeah, actually we do have, Liberty Tree Radio does have a Rumble account now. I just haven't done anything with it yet other than to communicate with the gentleman that we were doing the programs with. But that is there. It's available for us to use. I just got to get back and do something with it. But yeah, end of the year, we're coming up to the end of the year, Bill. Technically, we don't need it until the end of January. But there are some stuff that's going to come up at the end of December. It always does. But the big bills won't come up until the end of January. We need $3,000. The $1,000 more than it was last year. We managed to keep the price down. Actually, something went down last year, which made it easier. And I'm hoping it stays down this year. I got my fingers crossed on that. We'll see. We've got $470.30 in the PayPal balance right now from what you guys have donated. I want to say thank you for that. That's about what? Just a little under one-sixth of what we need for the total bill. That's not too bad. Yeah, no, we're not Alex. We're not Alex and the rest of the social media crew. It cost a million and a half dollars a year to operate. I don't know whose pocket you're padding there. I mean, it would be nice. Guys, you know what would happen if the Patriot effort had, you know, if people were serious about the Patriot effort, the way they frivolously dump money on shallow hell social media operations? You realize. But they feel comfortable with shallow hell social media operations because they don't really do anything. In fact, limitations, gnashing of teeth, running your hair is all that they're good for. As I pointed out, on the other hand, if we took it seriously and focused everybody's energy, instead of everybody just rubbing everybody's sores, do you realize what could be accomplished? The enemy knows, which is why they like things going and why they pay to have things in social media go just the way they are. Don't make any mistake about it. I would say I want to respond to a question that was just shot to me. I want to set up a cash app. I'll take the time to do it when I can, but right now we've got so much other stuff going on between the chat systems going down and me having to take care of other things with the station. I don't have the time to set it up, but I know it's probably going to take me 50 minutes when I sit down and do it. I understand. I'm not fully aware of how that system works. Like I said before, Craig started using it and Craig can figure it out. I can probably sit down and figure it out. I think if I ask my wife, I think she has it on her phone for her stuff. We just set one separately apart for LTR. I think Brad was using it too, so I might talk to him a little bit about it too, because apparently you can cash out on that with a debit card as well if you want to. But I would prefer to do something where we do direct deposit into whatever account we're paying the bills with. Okay, I heard another voice. Oh, well, there's Brad. Go ahead. Yeah, I had it. I don't have it anymore. But yeah, you can get a debit card. Yeah. So... Yeah, and Shelly just got home, guys. So I'm gonna step away for a second. And then Mark, Nancy called me earlier. I wasn't near my phone. So, I don't know. We've had to do with the shipment of something you mentioned earlier or whatever. Right, we've got some other work that's going on we're probably going to need some assistance with so we'll get back with you on that also. We've got a number of projects that are just last minute got to be done and because of injuries and other things going on with certain people we're having to shift daytime place so that's what I'm working on right now. Well the S-10 will be back on the road by the end of tomorrow. Get up early and found it out all I gotta do is just reassemble everything When everything's ready to go on that other than maybe maybe a couple little things But all the major stuff to make it solid and everything should be up and ready to go over the f-150 is dead in the water This is something we've been talking about There the Ford line of the bigger Ford line trucks We have a window that is a hole in our system right now because of the problem with parts inventory Crappy engineering a god help us Ford knows better and here's the idea what they did With that with that engine if you get the five four engine The one that I got is a three valve Five four it's got variable Timing all this other crap. There's a two valve that came out before that it's it's solid I do have a two valve motor, but I don't have the time to put into that engine because I got to pull it apart and put it back together or do all the gaskets on it and Think that's all it needs to be done. But since it's out. I'm gonna pull the plugs on it to Same as when we talk about rifles. Why don't you talk about Fords more? Guys, I've run whole fleets of Fords hundreds of thousands of miles per vehicle. I'll tell you what, for the longest time we were doing long nose Ford vans for a lot of what we were doing. Why? Because with that 351 Windsor or with the 6-cylinder like the 250 inline, I got 310 to 320,000 in fact in every one of those vehicles the body died because of Michigan rust. The vehicle didn't stop because the engine failed. And in every case where we used to have that little fleet of Ford vans, well it was a pretty good size by the time we were done, none of those engines went to waste. But they outlasted the vehicle, sadly enough. What's frustrating is I already killed. I already did all the work on it. I replaced the phasers and everything else. That's what changes the timing and the engine, so it doesn't shift as much. That thing should have been able to go for another 75,000 miles with what I did. Right. I'm just frustrated with it. I put enough money into it and time. That's why I wanted it. Because I do all my work. And that's why we don't talk about Fords as much as we do Chevy's and older Dodges. And we do have a lot of vehicle tactical vehicles that are set up and ready to go. But the pickle went in. This could be, but I have the engine. I just don't have the time or the energy. Well, again, the bad part is. Yeah, but the problem is that Ford, who does know how to make vehicles, I don't know what was in their brain. I don't know what, apparently they were planning on, part of the sellout because of the trying to frustrate people to the gas engines so they could push everybody into the electric. I think that's what part of this was. The long scam over the last 15 years was to set everybody up to get everybody limited in range with the electronic vehicles. And Ford bought right into that. They drank the Kool-Aid big time. Chevy kind of chugged along with some basic concepts. And they still have. Every vehicle company has problems with certain vehicles. Now part of it is intentional because, well, it ain't the razor. It's the blades where you make money. And what I mean by that is, remember, they are hoping that they could force you to go to Ford only maintenance and operations, or Chevy only maintenance and operations. And that's one of the reasons they grossly overcomplicate the vehicles now. But that defeats itself, because I'm not buying, I'm not trying to buy an F-16. You know what I mean? If I needed an F-16, I'm going to go out and find, I'll go out and find a plane, okay? You know what I mean? That's not what I'm buying. It's supposed to be four wheels, a basic mode of operation under the hood that is reliable, and it should have a reasonable performance range, both in distance and in time and service. And unfortunately with Ford, we have a window of activity with their vehicle design that is obviously, it just fell through the floor. I've got a Ranger pickup truck that one of our militia commanders, Don White, had for many years and he loved the Dakotas and I've already mentioned them. We still have the original Dakota that he bought. It's got over 340,000 miles on it. It's got one of those stupid little Magnum engines and I will remind everybody that that truck was in the Dexter tornado we always talk about. It actually had a tree fall on it. And so, no, it doesn't look as pretty. But you know what? As a vehicle, a field vehicle, that thing starts up every day. The only thing that I did with that vehicle is replace the brake lines. And I was cursing every step of the way because the poor little bastard machine had all kinds of Michigan rust on it. But you know what? Not anymore. Not as far as all the critical components. So but but I could put but the thing is it was rebuildable within reason the engine is sound the design is you know is it's it's it's For what it does. It's perfect and again We're running the early Chevy's right now mostly and I as far as I'm concerned There's another reason I pick a window of time if something does bust I've got the other vehicles to pull parts from if we get shot if you get the if we get down the road we get into a conflict and Vehicles down, we might recover, we might not. If we don't recover, we're going to strip it in the field for everything that we can and it's going on down the road with us. Wheels, gas, small components, spare parts that are in the back, that kind of thing. That's why I'm never getting rid of this S10. When I had to move out here, all I did was switch out the battery, flipped the switch and it was gone. It started right up like, well, it sat for five years. No, I... Once I got it out here, I changed the oil and everything else, but it sat for five years. Once I got under the hood and really looked around, like, oh, all these gaskets are leaking. Holy crap. I got some work to do. Then I drove it for a month, a couple months, just the way it was. Because the Ford kicked the bucket. I was like, oh, well, I don't have a choice now. I got to get to work. An important thing is somebody's, oh Mark, you're ridiculing my favorite vehicle. Well, if a Ford is working fine for you and you're happy with it, this is like me arguing about an AK versus an AR. I don't care what it is you got, just as long as you can keep it running, or keep it on the road, or with your rifle, you can keep it copacetic with the team's needs. But the important thing here is, remember, each of us has to take care of his own castle, and we need to be looking at realistic solutions, and they need to be in depth. If they hit us right now, the last three days, the discussion about busting the money has been nonstop. A reflection of that is what you see with the devaluation of the currency against gold. We are headed towards Weimar Republic pace of devaluation by the Jewish bankers against the American people. And if they buckle it the rest of the way, the Jewish bankers figure they're going to steal this country for pennies. Now we're going to shoot their ass. Anybody who thinks that we're going to, you know, have nothing and be happy, that person who thinks that they are going to make you to have nothing and be happy, their ass needs to be shot. No holds barred, no think twice about it. Property rights are critical to the whole concept of this country. And no matter what it is, we got to think long haul. So, one of the things, you know, why I'm talking about this critical part is because, you know, a pickup truck or a vehicle of any kind can move tonnage. What can you carry on your back? What's your maximum speed on foot? How can you travel on foot? How far can you go and how much can you carry traveling on foot? Now, the next step is we can go horse or we can go bicycle and bicycles you better have a whole pile of too. Better have one of everything we're talking about and make sure you pick out something and know how to fix it and have spares for it because in each case with each of these mechanical systems there are perishable items that are going to fail. If I was talking about a rifle I'd be telling you to do what? By firing pin extractor, ejector, small springs, lots of mags and lots of ammo. It makes sure that your sighting system is up to snuff and if you got anything electronic on board the rifle you better buy lots of extra power for it because you're going to need it. If I'm talking vehicles, it's tires, all the perishable components, and also your consumables, oil, brake fluid, trans fluid, whatever it is you got. If you've got a manual, don't worry about trans fluid, there's something that's gone, but you better buy a spare clutch, you better find yourself the spare parts you need to make it a viable support vehicle for the long haul. My dad talked about that because my dad lived through the Great Depression as the oldest of eight. My mother was the same. Because of that, they grew up through some of the worst conditions short of just war on the American continent. And it was a war by the Jewish international bankers against the American people to starve us out. That's who caused the crash and that's who attacked us in 1933, where the Jewish international bankers, period. and they did everything they could to starve America to try and bend you with your gut. Now in the meantime, it's like my grandpa, when he got laid off, nobody could, you couldn't afford shoes people. There weren't any, you know, you see things with the three stooges. You ever watch the three stooges and they put their foot up on the table and the bottom of the sole of the shoe is worn out? You know what the difference between that and reality is? Everybody was fighting over cardboard. What? Well people couldn't afford the leather to fix the bottom of that shoe. But you could if you walked around behind the stores in downtown Ann Arbor, the few that were open, if they were open at all, and any card stock you could find, you grabbed it. And my grandfather, one of his jobs, one of his many little jobs when he was very small, he was an apprentice cobbler. And what he would do is cut out a piece of card stock, you know, heavy cardboard, we're not talking corrugated, we're talking like what you see hardbound books made out of. And he would cut an inner sole and put that in the kids' shoes so that they wouldn't be walking on the pavement through the hole in the bottom of their shoe. Now, they couldn't get another pair of shoes. Nobody had two pennies to rub together. This country is on the edge getting screwed big time, but instead of us putting up with that, our attitude is any bastard who helped to make this happen should be dead. I'm done with this garbage. And you better be too, because there's no excuse for this country's economy to have gone to hell in a hand cart except for treason and betrayal and foreign operatives called the Israelis slash the Jewish mob who have intentionally done this to the United States. And vehicles, I'd rather, again, if I can move down the road even at 45 miles an hour and move tonnage, I'm better off. And the same is true with every other aspect of what we're preparing for here. We have to be ready to get rid of the bastards. This is done. As far as I'm concerned, all we're waiting for is the other foot to hit the ground. And the traitors we have in Washington, they know exactly what they're doing. There's no illusion to this. They're trying to get the troops out on the street so that if one Trumpa dump leaves and whoever else comes in that's with the other side, well, you saw four years of Biden. Now you think about all the precedent that is being set that's illegitimate that Trump is doing that they're going to use because they've already shown you they will. Except, well wait a minute, Trump's already doing it. So on top of that, we don't know what all they're up to. Well we do actually. We've tried to warn everybody. But because of this, you are going to have to take care of yourself. You don't get rid of any clothing right now. You're not going to be able to buy it later. If you have smaller sizes, well, I don't need that because it doesn't fit me right now. You know what's going to happen? All the goodies you get every day, they're all gone. All those imported dainties and snacks and little nibbles you can pick up right now, you're not going to be able to afford them. If they take and cut the money off and they just cut the cards and they cut all the electronics, how are you going to get more nibbles? What nibbles do you think somebody's going to give you if there are no nibble digits? And these peckerwoods are planning on doing that. They're laughing about it. They're laughing about our country right now because it got along with the buffoonery that we have in Washington, D.C. The betrayal, the reason that has taken place. Go ahead, jump in there. The last Great Depression, my grandpa told me he was so poor he couldn't afford to, so he took heavy cardboard and cut it out as a tape of his foot and put it in his shoe so he wouldn't have to walk on the gravel because he couldn't afford it, because it hurt, you know. And why did we put up, why did our grandfathers put up with the crap bin? They counted on it and we were more, they were, here's the problem with the mistake I think they realized they made which is why the Jews are trying to make it illegal for you to say anything about the people who did this to you. Because back then the society was much more, in fact that's why they're claiming a Christian revival. There's not a Christian revival as a Jewish run operation from behind the scenes like Charlie Kirk, $40 million run by the Israelis. to try and cow everybody into laying back and taking it. That is the basic theme if you pay attention to all these social media pricks that are out there right now. The scam is that now if you're woke right are people who aren't willing to lay back and let the enemy beat the snout out of you and steal everything you own. The new term that they're trying to come up with, and it's the Jews that are doing it, is woke right. Have you anybody heard this yet? And what that means is if you're not willing to bend over and let the Jews screw you left, right, up, and down, rape your kids, you're just too radical. Now who's running that? The Jews are running that. You know what I can tell by watching the faces and the body language and the characters that are starting to mouth this crap. And these people are your enemy. Because what it is, I've told you a million times, with Jewish international communism in Bolshevik Russia, it was not the communists that made it successful. It was the quote-unquote moderates who were going to make a deal with the communists because we didn't want to get too uppity there because other people who by the way behind the scenes were bought by the communist Jews just like we have in America were lying to everybody about what the agenda of the Jewish mob was. But then once they got everything rolling in motion, the mass executions began and they didn't stop for 40 years. And you know what? We should all learn to... that's why they don't talk about anything that has to do with what the Jews did, what the Jewish communists did in Russia. It's always Germany! Oh, the Germans! Oh, the Germans! Well, of course it is, because they got caught with their ass in the grinder for what they were up to. They got tagged. And what they're doing here is exactly what they did there. And every aspect of what we're talking about, you better be, I don't care, you don't have to get everything done perfectly. The big thing is accumulating and putting together what you can. I don't have everything even near perfectly accounted for. Now most anybody who knows me knows that everything that's in a container is marked so I know where it is and I got an idea of what it is. Because I've got to minimize the time to turn around, especially for bulk and volume, as we need it. But when we're talking about vehicles for instance, well take your pick. It's either gonna be you get your act together on this idea or you're on foot. Now that means you're gonna have to bum with somebody else, which is not a problem, we got plenty of friends. But it's the idea that if you want to be free and independent to a degree and be able to control your motion and destiny, you better have a plan now and you better start being, you better get very serious about that plan. That's why I'm dwelling on some of these things the way that I am taking a consideration again What is it you're gonna need with a vehicle right off the bat tires tires and tires the first thing that happened with the World War two? Coming out of the Great Depression guys first of all this was a great way for them to manipulate even more the American economy and Control people and take more of their private property away Tires were one of the first things that was what? rationed in World War two You might have a vehicle, but you better buy all the patch material you get your hands on because you couldn't afford, you couldn't buy a tire. You might even have the money to afford a tire, theoretically. But you know what happened? You couldn't buy a tire. You weren't allowed to buy a tire. Notice how when they do all these bullshit movies, there are only one or two that actually touch on it, where they in passing comment on, well I can't get that because it's rationed or, well where'd you get that beef? You know, oh well, that took a lot of ration points or you bought it under the table because somebody always was running a black market and they always will. But it'll be the same people that also set you up to be in the police state so that you needed the black market. And it's the same, oi, giv'o, kosha mafia doin' it. Because typically with a black market, it costs seven times as much for a product. If you had the digits, and if in theory the communist state had the product, If you were disenfranchised and you were internally exiled, which is what they're talking about with this social media crap, all that is is the Jewish Communist internal exile scam. And with the Jewish comms, what they did is all of a sudden they took your ID card away, your primary, and you didn't get any allotment. So basically everybody's around you doing what they normally do and you starve. Well, you didn't starve because of course you've tried to figure out a way to save yourself. So under the table you worked for a quarter of what everybody else has paid and they weren't paid anything but chump change anyway. And then in the process what they would do is well if you want something you got to go to the black market. You want to buy a piece of bread, stale three-day old, five-day old bread. You ain't getting any of the fresh stuff. But if you wanted a stale piece of bread, you paid seven times as much as the over-the-counter price for that piece of bread. Which means you never catch up. You never have what you need. It's never where you need it. You are screwed. So you had to figure out every other. You're constantly doing everything you can, not so much to catch up, but to try and at least get something. And no, you didn't have a car. And no, you probably didn't even have a bike because that was bourgeoisie for someone like you to have it. How dare you have it? You're outside the party. You're a viewer. Aren't you internally exiled? Where'd you get that bike from? And there's always some backstabbing Karen Rapp that would be trying to find out, well, what are you doing? How'd you get that? Lots of questions and then later on somebody show up to arrest your ass because you were dealing in the black market comrade How dare you? Yeah, but how do you survive otherwise? Well, they knew that you couldn't otherwise so they set you up to be a criminal Wow, what a surprise little dirty bastards doing it back then try to do it now I say, shoot their ass and be done with it, get rid of the bastards. If they want to think that, well, you're going to hold nothing and you'll be happy, nope, not going to be very happy about that. Think I'm going to get rid of your ass. And every son of a bitch who thinks that that's the right thing, that's the right way to be, they need to be gone too. I won't hesitate to say that. Why? Because they're planning on killing you. Everybody goes, oh, it's those leftists. Hey, there's a whole bunch of fake writers that are right now. If you listen to the social media, they're being run by the Jewish mob, just like the Jewish mob runs all of the leftists. And they're playing the same scam with regard to their propaganda. And it's all coming in from all their coaching. They get all these little social media sycophants together, pay them chump change, and they'll all agree to betray every last one of us. And you can tell, pay attention to the media. Pay attention to actually how their clothing even has changed. This is something we noticed years ago. Remember starving artists like in Hollywood. Character kind of lean when he comes into a job, but after the first time he's got, after he finally gets something, he's not the starving artist anymore. Now he's got some shekels. They start eating. My favorite band on that subject was Bachman Turner Overdrive. Go look at Bachman Turner Overdrive when they first came out. Then take a look at the album cover of their third album. Well, the second one is worse. The third one is even worse. What happened? Starving artists aren't starving anymore. Same is true with all these characters. For a minimal cost, they've bought all of these characters in social media. And it's obvious by the track, and if you go back, here's the bad thing about social media. They're not gonna go back two years or five years ago and alter the history of the channel. So if you go back and pay attention to like a Reader's Digest spot on subject matter and direction and angle, and then you take a look at what they're producing now, you can see how they've changed direction and progressively have been flipped upside down and barrel rolled into Wow, you're with the perverts now. Hmm. What a surprise. I would never expect. Oh, yes, I would. I completely suspect and expect. Anyway, we have a lot of work to do and this is why again, organized army equipment training as militia, establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations, logistics, the key to victory. You need to be squared away, you need to make sure that we have what we need, where we need it. It won't be perfect but you know what, you can get hold of a lot of stuff in one direction, somebody else can get hold of a lot of cool stuff in the other and you know what you do then, you barter, trade and exchange. And it's okay to do that. You need to be getting up to the speed on the concept of how to do that. That's what you need to work on is interactive skills with people of like mind rather than dealing with jackasses and hat-hats who purely non-stop want to backstab you. Because most of the system is already in that posture, that direction. Go ahead and call her, chip in there. Hello Mark, this is Mike from Arizona. I was interested in you were talking about the depression and you also made a comment about the woke right. It seems to me that it was maybe a week, maybe two weeks ago. It was Benjamin Netanyahu sitting down with a lot of the people. He was talking about, oh well, it's the term that I invented. I call it the Woke Right. We're on this eight front war and the new ones in the United States and we've got to go after the social media. He says, what's the number one threat? It's like somebody said TikTok and then somebody said X. That was interesting. We definitely have that on video. The next thing is, you were talking about tires and the depression. Now, my parents lived through the Depression. They already had three children. They got married somewhere in the mid-twenties or so. The writing was on the wall. I've heard the story a couple of times. He had gone down and some fast-talking salesman had convinced him that he needed to get some tires. because the depression was coming and you won't be able to get them. So they took what little money they had and bought four or five new tires for their Model T. And they put them in the garage for storage so they'd have them when they needed them. But after the depression was over, the tires were still stacked there in the corner of the garage because Not only did they, well they had the tires, but you couldn't buy any gasoline. So you didn't even wear out your tires because your car just sat there. So it was an interesting story of about, you know, we hear about these things. We read about it, whether it's in Canada or the United States or other places in the world because the depression hit the entire world. And It's interesting to hear it not out of a book, but from somebody that had actually lived through it. So I agree with your stuff about getting logistics and spares and this and that. But you know what? You ain't got no gas. You're not going to wear out your tires. Over to you, Mark. Thank you. And again, the only advantage we have here right now that we didn't have then, going from full petroleum oil product generated gasoline to an alcohol base was tough because seals and whatever existing non-synthetic rubber hoses had a difficult time, even later on with conventional polymers that were the standard in let's say the 50s and 60s and 70s were not designed initially to handle alcohol. But you know what's really bizarre? Because they've increased the amount of alcohol in our standard fuel, They've actually set up an accommodation so that we could run a higher level of alcohol in place of or to create a higher, let's just say, hybrid fuel, which is something... Hold on. This is something that we were just talking about because gas prices here just dropped, by the way. I didn't even mention that. Gas prices just dropped here, but what's bizarre is only in one county. in the area here. In fact, it's to the point where it's really bizarre. We've got a 40 cent difference between one pumping area and another that literally come from the same pumping center. And if you go one county line over, the price drops 38 cents a gallon. How do I know this? I just did it today, this morning. And again, the only cool thing is the alcohol content is higher, which because of that, All the polymer components and even the fuel injection systems are designed to handle and not break down with alcohol as a component of the fuel mix. A critical component, a major component, by the way. Go ahead, jump in there. Well, I just got, because we're reposting stuff, moving some documents over from the gilded over to the discord that we don't want to lose, I just posted this today again. construction of a simple wood gas generator for fueling internal combustion engines. You can do this all the way up to a truck. So if you can't get fuel, and some of these are like, you can build these pretty darn crude. There's a kid on YouTube who built them with junk that he found, built one with junk that he found laying around his yard and along the side of the street just to prove that he could do it. So it's doable, you can create it. You can build this, run a car from it if you're really good with it, but if you just want simple power to run a generator and not have to rely on gasoline, you can do this. We have instructions on how to do this in the Discord and on the Guildiv right now. You can look it up on YouTube. You can see guys that have done this with pickup trucks. who run their pickup trucks on nothing but what burdens stove. Well real quick, one of the things in traveling around the country, usually the people who would be my escort slash the person who picked me up at the airport would be somebody who was a senior local patriot. And out west, one of the interesting stories on that point was that, hey, back in pre-World War II, of course, it was the Depression. During World War II, it was still the Depression, even though they don't want to admit it, but they were able to ration, which made it even more difficult to identify the economic construction. After the war, well, money still didn't grow on trees. And most guys who were growing up in that window of time wanted to drive. They had to get a vehicle, like we just mentioned, but Mike, you get a vehicle, but what does gas cost? And if you're only making 75 cents or $0.79, wanted to drive, they had to get a vehicle, like we just mentioned, but Mike, you get a vehicle, but what does gas cost? And if you're only making 75 cents, or 7 other old timers who told them how to do all of these little tricks of the trade like the wood gas or the geek type super heat, super heated, pre heated carburetor intake system. Where it switched from the car running at 17, 18 miles to the gallon to being able to get 65, 75, and even up to 90 miles per gallon with a regular V8 overhead, you know, a flathead engine. Okay, and then later on going obviously to a newer engine. But they explained every time that, you know what, I was making $2 a week, and if I wanted to go drive anywhere, well, we're out in the middle of nowhere here. So you had to make things work. And so what's interesting is that, you know, each man explained his solution based on what they had working knowledge of. But the wood gas solution was very common then. And the other, like I said, was the preheated supercharging. It's atomizing the fuel, supercharging it, and then running it into the carburetor from there, making a much more efficient fuel-air mix burn. Basically, if you look up what GEET was doing, G-E-E-T, the GEET conversion is that concept. Now, again, this is with a carbureted engine, and I will remind everybody that back in the day, back in the 90s, as the guys that were running Geek pointed out, you actually could get a more efficient vehicle using a 454 big block Chevy than you could with a smaller, say, four-cylinder, four-banger, single-barrel carbureted engine, which should be getting better efficiency, but they weren't. And it all comes down to the carburetion that they knew was inefficient. My dad argued for years because he was on the engineering side in automotive. And it's like he said, they got carburetors that will do 1,120 miles per gallon. But if they did that, they wouldn't be selling as much gas, would they? It's just like tires. Guys, the polymers with the develop of synthetics in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. They've built tires that literally could last indefinitely, but if you do that, how long do your tire plants stay open? The other half of the issue though is too, remember they wanted to make money off you. And making money off you means producing products that are just good enough to make you feel comfortable about it, but not so good that you don't have to come back and buy some more. Hey Mark. Bullets do strange things and sidewall hits especially are tough with tire repair But it can be done and with these new patching systems it absolutely can be done. Go ahead champion there Actually two things. I know you can crack plastics of all type with all you need is a 55 gallon drum and a real simple cracking tower and you can run At least small engines on that. I don't know what the octane level is. Actually, doing a small cracking facility which could run any tires, old tires that are absolutely frag. In other words, they're on there. They're dead. Or other polymers. Yes, in fact the Japanese were marketing. And I know Ed might find this in our mix when he's going through everything else he's going through there. But there are literally refrigerator sized cracking operations that were available for a relatively reasonable price. Japan was offering them first, and they still do by what I understand. And it allows you to take any plastic and you can dial up the system to crack either gasoline or diesel, both serviceable grades. Yeah, well, I'm saying you can build one with a 55-gallon drum and some pipe. A little bit of thought, you can get different grades. But why isn't anybody working on synthetic gasoline for us? I mean, we know that the FOMO is out there. Well, it has been. It's been a... No, here's the problem, and this is a fact. Okay, Geet, for instance, the guys who had Geet, they were attacked by the Fed. In the 90s, Geet, these guys were showing everybody at the expos how to convert a vehicle over. In fact, here's the two critical parts of the Geet formula are this. They literally showed with all of the EPA sensor technology available that with the improved Geet carbureted preheat system and following the instructions, there were zero emissions that were harmful. The only thing coming out of the tailpipe was H2O. with the entire conversion that they had using a 454 any big block Chevy engine You know who attacked them the Fed attacked them You know who told them to you know that they needed to do that a combination of both the Fed and other big money Because it was catching on and they they did this in World War two I've mentioned this several times one of our one of the people was my host when I was in Oklahoma when I was actually no Nebraska You're in the car and he goes, let me tell you about an engine my dad bought before World War II. He goes, the thing ran, it was a perpetual motion motor. And if you got it in the sunlight, it actually would even run faster. A cloudy day, it'd run at a particular speed. Sun come out, it would help to supercharge the piston drive system. And the thing would run like a rape date, but you could power anything with it. You could move anything with it. You could run anything with it. Well, when World War II started, the company that made them was told that you have to surrender these motors. And during the war, his dad, this guy's dad, now this man was old when I met him, but his dad took the thing apart, put it up in the third floor attic of the old ranch house, the farmhouse they had out on the plains. The feds came looking for it. and they unabashedly searched the house looking for it, searched the barns looking for it. He hid it way up in the rafters in the very top floor in the farthest extreme and put it under all the old insulation, the bead insulation and bat feces. Threw a couple dead bats in there too. And he said they didn't want to crawl into that corner over there or the other corners because it was too stinking dirty. But they went through everything looking for these. And even after the war, he was afraid to bring the thing out because that's how fanatical and how crazy and of course how anal-retentive the people who were in power were. Everybody goes, this is totally new. No, this isn't. This is the kind of crap that's been going on for a very long time. Because if you have perpetual motion energy, if you have any kind of perpetual technology like that, they can't control us. What are they talking about? What are we talking about here right now? We're talking about them screwing with your heads and controlling you. Now here's the difference. We have this beautiful technology that, like I said, all these social media freaks, most of these people are absolute sellouts and their job is to make you, you know, Stanley Weiner, Weiner, Weinerbaum, Weiser, and it's beautiful to resist and if we do this, they're going to do this. Well, you know what? There's more of us than are of them. Put a bullet in their sorry ass and get rid of them. Because that's where we need to be because otherwise all they're trying to do is make us into monarchists slash communists slash slaves property of the state and This country you know what we got a different attitude. We better cop that attitude right now. They're trying to capture it That's what the Jewish mob is doing It's a Jewish-run hand puppet movement with the idea of you becoming servile and subservient to the people who are your enemy. That's what they're doing right now. And it's not, it's completely planned. Like it has been before, completely planned. We're at the top. Everybody out there guys got blessed power, Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march, both day and night. You keep it reserved for when you have to fight, but when you do fight, you've got everything you need to fight effectively as a winner. So let's make sure we get our act together, because we are going to war one way or another. The other side can't abide by a passing property. We will own nothing, as we will be happy. No, we're not going to be happy. We are going to fall. Bring it out in the wings. We'll be out of the back in one hour. Bye-bye. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave to 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 shame. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and season the 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, 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? 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. We pray to God, your freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the midst of a once-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. 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? Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the third hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Cornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, east, south, and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. We are on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is, well it's Thursday, it's been Thursday all day, beautiful day, clear, through the day, clear tonight. lot of stellar overhead activity. You might want to check out later into the morning hours. You've got several planets not aligned, but in close proximity. Plus, we've got, I think, two comets. They're claiming they're comets that are actually visible. They were visible three, four nights ago. Can't live with a light haze, what, two days ago. However, at about one to three in the morning, They're bright even with a little bit of cloud cover didn't make any difference a we're beaming So if you want to check that out kind of interesting and again, it is the 16th of October it is the 17th year of open obvious ending your face baby in the socialist and the Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 20 2025 older calendar 2025 battle for the Republic the dance of swords and we got Ed there. What do we got? Well, you were talking about shooting stars, talking about astronomy. We're going through debris from Halley's Comet's tail right now. We're going to be seeing a lot more shooting stars. If you've got a clear night sky, you go out around midnight, you'll be seeing a bunch of them in the sky. The peak will be next Monday and Tuesday, I think. And there actually has been quite a bit of activity already, so it's probably going to continue to build and peak as we go. So definitely. Yeah, we're already in it. It'll peak next week, and then it'll start to pitter out. But I think it's Monday and Tuesday is the peak for shooting stars. But yeah, we've been in it. I think we've been in it for half a week already, and it'll continue on after. I think around Monday or Tuesday, I could be wrong, it might be Sunday and Monday. Again, if you look at the schedules, there are information bases out there, so don't have to stand out all night after sunset and wait to see what's going to happen. You can actually pretty well predict what field they're passing, what area of activity they're passing through, and should be able to get out there, watch what's going on, and then get back to bed, if that's what you need to do. And interestingly enough, we already have two comments that are showing up. That is separate. I don't know if Haley's is one of them, but there are others that are listed. And again, sorry, don't have the time I used to have. I would probably have taken more on this particular subject. But if you look the information up, you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't think Haley's comment is visible, Dad. What it is is we're going through the debris field from its tail. Right, and the interesting thing is that at least at about the one o'clock mark there are either four or five dominant stellar objects above your head that you can see. Typically it'll be in the east is where the collection will start rising or settling depending on what it is, where you are, and how you're looking at this thing, but they are definitely interesting. And on top of that you've got the debris slash the comets coming in. So it's going to be a pretty interesting couple of days or week depending on how you want to count it. How much time you have to be outside staring at the sky? Needless to say. So a lot of fun and if you've got any munchkins and you're doing homeschooling, hey it's a great opportunity for this as part of the homeschooling club. You have to go to bed early so we can get you up in the middle of the night. So you can get out there and take a look at the night sky. How's that sound? There's a project for everybody. Again, solutions. Not just complaining about the problems. Oh my god, we're gonna die! Shooting stars! Well, we're all gonna die eventually. But in the meantime, I think we're okay. It'll be pretty cool. Unless the space alien ships come in between the shooting stars and then we'll be in a space alien war in no time. Preferential. We'll see what happens. Of course, like I said, how do you cook space alien? And how do you know when they're done? Well, you put them on a spit and chain them to it and you keep turning until you stop hearing the voice screaming, I'm a human in a rubber suit, don't cook me! When that stops and you smell kind of a rubbery, tiring smell, They're probably ready for consumption. Personally, I wouldn't eat them, but there are pigs and hogs available. You'll have to peel off that delightful outer polymer husk that's now blackened, but a little mesquite barbecue sauce, and hey, throw a bowling ball in there with the pigs. They'll have fun for days. Days and days, crunch, crunch. Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch. Yeah. We're not very nice to the space aliens. No sir, no we're not. But then again, as we know, they're not space aliens, are they? The only thing about fires and stuff, Dad, I did post a seven part YouTube video class on wood gasification. I also posted one I thought was neat. It didn't fully run the way he wanted it to, so he's got to rebuild it. But a guy built one of the little motorcycle kits for a bike. into a wood gas powered engine but his furnace what he used wasn't big enough to keep it running long enough so he's got to take it back and re-do it. All he used though for the furnace for the wood gasification thing was a beehive smoker. Because that pretty much is what the reactor is for gasification burners. And he did show he got it to turn the engine over, but it wasn't enough to keep it running, so he's got to make a bigger tank for it than the beehive generator. Would it be enough, though, if you're trying to do something smaller than that, smaller than a four-stroke engine? Now, the big thing here again with this technology is it can be adapted to any number of different uses slash needs. And first and foremost is at the very least, if you weren't putzing around with it, riding it, if you're able to get it to at least function within any reasonable, reliable range, it's power supply. Keep that in mind. Remember what we used to do with the old Ford, the Ford pickup truck was the utility farm all piece of equipment. They show you in a movie, what is it, Predator, the original Predator. Remember, he goes down and cuts the belt on that drive unit in the back of the truck. Guys, that was a standard practice for everybody back in the day. That was a way to get energy out into the remote locations. And it worked just fine. In fact, they made a whole series of appliances for that purpose. So if you've got a piece of equipment that you can get to run, you jack up the rear end so that the drive isn't making contact with anything. come up with a belt system and communicate, translate the energy over to another physical source of whatever kind to produce electricity or to run something that you need to operate. Like a saw, for instance, that was the most common use for them. Not the only one, though, but one of the more common. So it is a simple, straightforward process. The big thing is, having, as was pointed out before, fuel to run things to actually do something. So we've got to come up with alternative solutions and as many of them as possible. That way we're never crippled completely. We're never broken down. See, that's the thing the bad guys are hoping to do. Everybody will be in cat-comic brain fart and be sitting there dribbling on themselves and lamenting about why isn't the bigger police state doing something for me so we can get a bigger police state going. A bigger one than the one we already have which didn't do anything for us. If we just had a bigger police state, We'd have a bigger police state. We wouldn't have any solutions. But we'd have a bunch of power freaks out there with guns and be trying to tell you they need to steal your property. And they'd all be working together towards stealing your property. So heads up, and that's why we need alternate energy sources. I will remind everybody too that if you had that power pack from one end, guys, wrecked cars are a spare parts inventory menagerie, anything and everything you can imagine you'd like to do with a creative mechanical engineering, you can pull off the vehicle, a wrecked car or a wrecked truck. Think about it. What's under the hood? Alternator, water pumps. You do realize that there are all kinds. In fact, if you're smart and you know how to cannibalize the serpentine belt system or the older V-type belt system, depending on what you got under the hood, It would not be a big deal to communicate, you know, to commute that power and communicate to others the fact that you're not in the Stone Age. Oh, look at that. I'm actually pumping water or fuel or it could be any number of things, depending on what I want to do. And by the way, yes, even that little stupid electronic fuel pump on top of the gas, the gas tank itself, That's a great way to be able to move material from one point to the other. And if you do have a, let's just say a moonshine still that's being used for propulsion, Being able to use an electronic pump scavenger off a wrecked vehicle that runs on 12 volt with maybe a couple of batteries and a simple solar cell and all you do is hit a switch and instead of you cranking and pumping and pumping and cranking and cranking and pumping all you do is go beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee whatever it is you want to use. See again, be creative and don't worry about wiring. You know how many miles of wiring are in your present vehicle? If you ever really kind of thought about that, how many, at least how many hundreds of feet? Let's put it that way. It's sufficient to deal with a whole lot of electrical needs. In fact, you've got fuses, you've got fan motors, you have small drive motors, you have all kinds of stuff. The solution is purely a matter of how creative you wish to be. How good are you getting your brain juices flowing so that you can actually come up with interesting solutions to problems and they no longer become problems. They become somebody else's problems, they don't know what to do. And it becomes marketable for you because you've come up with a solution and you can kind of sell it to others. Hey, wait a minute, that's being an entrepreneur. Oh, that's French. I should not have used that. So anyway, a few we're going to do. We're at the little past 15 minutes of the hour. Ed, before we go any farther, we haven't done a Guns and Gadgets today. So if you would, let's pull the latest Guns and Gadgets up. And again, a reminder there, too. Jared's over at YouTube. If you can, go over there. Subscribe. Give them a thumbs up and again they'll keep you up to speed on national and in many cases statewide gun, pro-gun and anti-gun activity going on by the regime. There's a lot of both taking place right now and by what I've seen the Bundy I of course is being typical Floridinian leftist. I don't think that's part of the change. Go ahead jump in there quick color. The question you asked me for he said he'll check into it and get back to me. And Ace, friendly from Kiss died. I'm sorry, which artist? I hope you heard Kiss. Who died? Ace, friendly or however you pronounce his last name, seeing me. The lead guitarist. How old did they say? I'm just curious. And he's older than I am. 74? 74? Not much older than I am. Well, they did have a tendency to live a little, let's just say, hard. And I remember back in the day this probably backed off of here we go. We got it Guns and Gadgets sounds like it's up We're getting there a major lawsuit has been filed against SIG Sauer Let's talk about it. Hey everybody. Welcome back to guns and gadgets your premiere source for Second Amendment news that you're probably not going to hear anywhere else Today's story is a big one and it's unfolding right over there in the Garden State, New Jersey, and it just dropped a short time ago. New Jersey's Attorney General Matt Plattkin, who's a little anti-gunning communist, along with the Division of Consumer Affairs, has officially filed a 59-page lawsuit against the Xaur claiming that the 320 pistol is defective and that it's been firing without anyone pulling the trigger. Now, if that sounds familiar, it should. The SIG P320 has been at the center of controversy for years with police departments, federal agents, and civilians across the country reporting incidents of unintentional discharges, allegedly. But this time, New Jersey's taking it to court. Today, I'm breaking down the lawsuit in detail what it claims, what evidence is cited, and what this means for gun owners, law enforcement, and the Second Amendment community nationwide. Now the complaint was filed today by Attorney General Plattkin and Acting Director Elizabeth Harris of the Division of Consumer Affairs, and it accuses Sig Sauer of marketing and selling a dangerously defective handgun, the P320, while misleading the public about its safety. According to the suit, the P320 is fully precocked whenever a round is chambered, meaning it's essentially always ready to fire. The state alleges that the internal safety's SIG claims to have built into the gun are not foolproof and that even minor movements such as holstering or walking can lead to an unintended discharge. The complaint cites multiple incidents involving New Jersey law enforcement officers, officers who were shot by their own holstered sidearms allegedly, including Howell Township Officer Raymond Talotson, who's 320 allegedly discharged while holstered during a training course shooting him in the leg, West Orange Officer Gregory Willis, who suffered a similar holstered discharge, Detective Lieutenant Walter Imbert of Orange PD, who tragically lost his life when his P320 allegedly went off while he was preparing to clean it. And Plackton's lawsuit claims that these are not isolated events, but part of a pattern of gruesome regularity across the nation. The Attorney General accuses Sig Sauer of deceptive marketing and reckless disregard for safety. The state says that SIG knew about these problems as far back as 2016 when the US Army tested the pistol during the modular handgun safety trials. The Army reportedly found that the pistol posed an unacceptable danger of firing when dropped or jostled, so they required an external safety on the military versions, now known as the M17 and the M18. But, SIG allegedly kept selling the civilian and law enforcement law enforcement But SIG allegedly kept selling the civilian and law enforcement versions without that safety while advertising that the P320 was chosen by all branches of the US military Now the lawsuit argues that this claim was deceptive because the military only purchased modified versions with an external manual safety Not the same model sold to the public Guys, real quick, I want to thank our sponsor, CMMG, for always supporting the channel. If you believe in quality precision and protecting your rights, then these folks are worth knowing. Whether you're looking for 22s or larger chamberings or just accessories done right with attention to detail, CMMG always delivers. Their craftsmanship and respect for the Second Amendment shows, and as always, purchasing from reliable manufacturers helps us ensure safety, accountability, and quality. G&G 10 will make you smile there. Thanks to CMMG for always supporting this type of important conversation and standing by the channel year after year. Alright, back to the story here. According to this complaint, SIG's marketing slogans like Safety Without Compromise and the 320 won't fire unless you want it to were blatantly misleading. Even after hundreds of reports of unintentional discharges and lawsuits in other states, SIG continued to tell the public that any incidents were due to user error. Now, let's dig into what the lawsuit says about the mechanics of the problem. The P320, unlike many other striker-fired handguns, is fully cocked when a round is chambered. That means it's under constant spring tension, like a loaded mousetrap. The firing striker is held back by a small sear ledge about one millimeter thick. According to the FBI's ballistic research facility, whose findings are cited in the complaint, even without pressure on the trigger, movements like walking, sitting, or drawing from a holster can cause the internal striker safety to disengage. Once that happens, any slight jolt can send the striker forward, firing the gun. Now the state points out that other manufacturers like Glock or Smith & Wesson include external trigger safeties or double action systems to prevent exactly this kind of event. But SIG opted not to, instead claiming their internal safeties were enough. The results, according to this complaint, has been hundreds of unintended discharges, some caught on video, many witnessed, and others fatal. This lawsuit points out that police departments from Chicago, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Houston, Denver, and even the federal ICE agency have dropped or banned the P320 after repeated incidents. New Jersey's own state police in fact removed the P320 from its list of approved off-duty firearms earlier this year after reviewing the FBI's findings. In one particular disturbing case cited, a Camden County detective was shot in the leg and knee just walking to his vehicle. In another, an officer died cleaning his... almost. In another, an officer died cleaning his service weapon while his hands were nowhere near the trigger. The Attorney General argues that Sig Sauer has endangered police officers, veterans and civilians by continuing to sell this design without addressing the root cause or warning buyers of the risk. The lawsuit is seeking several things. Number one, an injunction to stop Sig Sauer from selling or distributing the P320 in New Jersey. Number two, restitution and damages for the injuries and deaths caused. Number three, penalties under the state's Consumer Fraud Act and the Firearms Industry Public Safety Law. Now, Plackton says this case isn't just about defective products, it's about corporate accountability and protecting both officers and the public from what he calls unreasonable and dangerous conduct. If New Jersey wins this case, it could set a national precedent, especially since dozens of P-320 lawsuits are already pending across the country. It could also signal a new front in how anti-gun states use consumer protection laws to target firearm manufacturers. Whether Sig Sauer's design is genuinely defective or whether these are freak incidents amplified by politics remains to be seen. But make no mistake, this is a massive legal and political move that could reshape how handguns are marketed and sold in America. We'll be watching this case closely and if New Jersey's suit gains traction, expect others in blue states to follow along. Let me know what you think. Do you believe that P320 has a design flaw? Or is this another example of gun control by lawsuit? The comments anytime I mentioned anything with the SIG lawsuits across the country over the last five or seven, eight years, however long it's been now, the comments are typically split down the middle. Some think guns fine, some think it's not. Sound off down below. As always, stay informed, stay safe, and stay free.

I am Jared, this is Guns N' Gadgets, and this is where the fight for your rights never stops. I'll see you on the next one. Take care. Do you trust your pistol? It comes down to if I really were suspicious of it. Well, everybody just carries a weapon unloaded and you get used to the idea that because it's in the service or you had it, you load it as needed. Hopefully it doesn't go before you're loading it. It appears that it doesn't do that very often. Oh, well, I'm not sure how many times it did. The big thing is that I think big is already they really hockey fucked up on this and it's gonna it'll hurt them in the very long run only because even if they win all the lawsuits it's brought their name into bad gun sphere light and Guys, I've watched this for decades and decades and decades even false information is enough to kill an entire gun line because of the echo chamber that will take place afterwards and so They probably knew in advance what where I was in advance, but very quickly they know what they had the way of a problem They were counting on the fact that because they were ring knocker operation Governments not going to mess with them. Well one government didn't he got it got the big brown envelopes But the other part of the system did not and so you got to pay more people off You have to conceal more of what's been happening. This is what they did And in the long haul it will damage more of the overall reputation of the company itself. Not a particular gun. That's the one most commonly told. It's just going to affect that gun. No, some people will just go, nah. It's like we were talking about vehicles here during the two hour block. You know, Fords are getting a bad name for particular models. It's echoed as a lot more than just a model of truck people think hmm Ford I want to spend Do I want to spend the price of my house when I first bought it? Only to find out that the vehicle I buy won't really last all that long or is gonna You know take it can't take the abuse. It's in trouble before I even pull it off the lot It doesn't go over very well, so It's the same problem with the situation you have with the Sigs with regard to the pistol. It's the same hockey puck situation. They should have fixed it right from the get-go. And they chose not to. And now they're just deeper into the quagmire. Of course, by the time they're done, they can just declare bankruptcy and head for the hills. They're not an American company, right? They could screw America across the board in so many different ways as far as the gun owners go. And they wouldn't care. They're not American. So, for them, bail when you got to. Paddle while you have to, bail when you got to, and everybody's gone. Oh well. Well, Ford does get to repair daily. Yeah, but at least repairing it, you can get it back online. If you work hard. Maybe. Maybe. Well, mostly. And again, this is, like we said, this is a particular window of trouble. I would point out the other extreme though. In fact, there's a story and I don't have it right here in front of me. You guys can look it up. One of the more expensive electric cars, they've had a couple of these incidents overseas, but the most recent, apparently the kid was playing with his electric, you know, crotch rocket car. It's one of the upper end vehicles. Had an accident, was stuck in the middle of the road, batteries compromised, and the first thing that the doors did was lock. and the vehicle burned right down to the frame with the operator in it. Now, I should have addressed this a couple of times during the 2-hour block and I really wanted to, but we were on a subject. Run the road, man! Guys, if you're in a vehicle and if you are at least conscious to some degree or another, I will remind you that you always have in the vehicle, unless you're really twisted, folded, spindled and pinned, you have a window breaker in every car, a couple of them. In fact, I'm pretty sure that with both of the newer cars, with the back seat, neckrests, those adjust, right? Well, if you pull them, they come out completely. Try this in your car tomorrow when you get a chance, because you do need to practice this and then you'll remember it. A lot of these people are scrabbling at the windows and the windows don't break until the heat's sufficient to finally fracture, fall in and melt with the rest of the electric car wreckage. But if you lift up that headrest, it comes out completely. You will notice that there's two patterns that you typically see from these things. One is a tanning flat piece of steel stock that's approximately an eighth of an inch. At the end of either, there is a can't, a taper to the cup of the steel. The other versions are either single or double rounded stock, maybe your index finger or your thumb depending on how big your hand is. And at the end of it, the same situation, the steel is brought to a taper like a bullet. Yeah, he was starting to go larvae lead in for a little bit and Yeah, it looks like we completely lost mark here. Okay, so guys we'll take a quick break and I'll try to reconnect with mark and we will Be right back after this. Yes, we did. So again, I don't know where I was cut off there Ed Hopefully was just a short cut off Anyway, pretty straightforward. I think I hammered that enough that you'll be able to figure it out for yourself. That is the plan. You shouldn't have to have somebody else hold your hand on that one. In fact, we definitely need you to be able to do this yourself because you'll be the one stuck in the car when the time comes. So heads up on that. Again, another safety feature that just doesn't get a whole lot of publicity. Your headrest as a window breaker using the bay tab that it rides on. Go ahead. You weren't gone that long. I was just coming up to tell you that you were starting to break up and then we lost you. And off the cliff we went. Well, again, this is interesting because we are exceptionally clear here tonight. We have nothing that should be interfering with signal. But I get like I said I'll keep threatening if all else fails if I really get tired of this which won't be very much longer now Then we'll just switch over to satellite phone and you know stick with it for a while It's actually not it's not a it's not a problem everything set up and ready to go all I gotta do is use it and I probably should We're a little past the bottom. Let's throw a little bit of ear candy in here and Hold down a second because I do have some other Battle cry, imagine dragons. After we played it a couple weeks ago, everybody, I had a bunch of requests, I haven't heard that in years. Number one, battle cry by imagine dragons. And then in addition to that, riding a raid. Riding a raid, that's for me. I'm a raider, so again, riding a raid. Old Civil War tune. The first one though, Imagine Dragons and Battle Cry. We're going to start out with Imagine Dragons and work our way over to some classic Americana. You're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. Of course, going into the weekend, we're only a day away from that. Don't forget, here we go, music in my ear. No, well it wasn't my ear. libertytreeradio.4mg.com and libertytreeradio.org. And it is going to be a pretty busy weekend. We do have people up at Camp Naga-Hitcham and also at what is going to be Camp Betcher, Rustic 2. right now until the name change. And it is going to be an early schedule for a lot of the people there. We do have a cross-country daytime orienteering course with a limited nighttime orienteering course taking place there at Nagatjum. So again, be prepared. You already know it. If you're going to be there, you're part of the schedule. But again, let's make sure we keep track of where everybody is. We have a very high safety standard across the board for our facilities. Let's maintain that. Stay focused. Don't cut any corners because usually when you do, you get cut. Just that simple. Kind of like that factory that went boom the other day. Something happened. Most likely, someone decided to cut a corner. They're not with us anymore. Just something to think about. So, I want to make sure it doesn't happen to you. Anyway, also, as Tom pointed out earlier, it is colder in the upper part of the state. Why is it so much colder? Well, that's uphill, higher elevation, farther north to begin with. And so again, if you're down the bottom of the state, we're not going to keep this warmer weather we've been seeing for a whole lot longer because inevitably Michigan changes. So make sure you got your cold weather gear in hand. And yes, Uncle Mark harps about that. My job. Another thing, also take advantage of Sportsmen's Guide dot com. They do have over in the clearance section for surplus. Still, they have a bunch of really good buys on certain cold weather items. You do want to go check that out. In fact, some of it because it's now full turnaround from last year. They're trying to throw it out the back door, so to speak. So, if you've got certain items in, in fact, I'll tell you what, we're the big deal, mittens. Nobody likes mittens. They don't look cool. But mittens are fantastic for keeping you from losing your fingers. And as a matter of fact, they've got some really good multi-deals on, I believe it's both the Hungarian and also, I think some of the Romanian and Belgian mittens are there right now for a couple dollars a pair. for new old inventory. So you do want to check that out. Definitely worthwhile. And again, you don't want to have to chip you out of your equipment, especially when we're talking about hands and feet, guys. As long as you keep them covered properly and warm enough, the rest of the body will stay just fine. The big thing is when one goes, the others follow. So let's prevent that. And again, sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com, go to their deals section, which then has a clearance subcategory. When you do pull up the clearance, look at the other subcategory. It says surplus, military surplus. Tap that so it eradicates all the other background clutter. and then go through what they have there. I think there's at least six different types of mittens available right now. They're not listed side by side, so you're going to have to go through. The best way to do that is put them into your box, then do the math on what it is that you see that you've saved, and pick out the ones that make sense for you. And yes, there are camouflage. You have both black, a few. Swiss, I think, is the one. But most are actually a camouflage pattern mitten, so they're going to go well with the rest of your kit, depending on what you're wearing. And you can select based upon the camouflage too. But it's, again, Eastern European Cold War era camo, which actually, some of that stuff's pretty decent, as a matter of fact. And in fact, preferred, if you could find it, it's just harder to help find what you want anymore in quantity. And these are still available. So take advantage of them. run with that puppy and then get on with other things. Next, and I'm looking here while we're talking, We have a couple of other activities going on separate. I believe there's a militia orienteering orientation conor in tearing I wish And a militia orientation meeting taking place one was tonight actually this afternoon over in Hillsdale Michigan and there is another one tomorrow night taking place and I believe that there are a couple of guest speakers coming in from outside the state that we'll be visiting from Indiana and also from Ohio. So heads up on that. It's a follow-up to something that was done at the beginning of the year, during the spring. And they're continuing with the program and everything's been copacetic so far, so I don't see anything changing. A big thing is you already have a ticket. They are, again, limiting the number of people. They do have a public location, but they're limiting the number of people. Not worried about security, per se, but what they are worried about is anybody trying to harass them from the county. Hillsdale is supposed to be this conservative place. Now they're just as leftist as everybody else, trust me. And all it takes is one toady to try and cause issues because of, again, visitation, number of people actually on site. So, we're ahead of the game on that one. Now, also there will be a video feed for the event. So, yes, you can watch it from another location. We've actually in the past, we've had Patriot events like this. We usually put television screens either in larger auxiliary areas, not with the main crowd, or we even had to put TVs outside. and with the new projector systems and all the other fun stuff you can do, you can do big screen theater arrangements. I don't know if that's what they're gonna do or if they have the option to. We do here, actually, we have two of those. But I don't know what's planned, but I'm pretty sure that there's not gonna be any issues with regard to accommodating people who are scheduled to show up. And there will be a discussion about scheduling for one of the other night orienteering FTXs which was proposed and that is something we want to see happen. We need more people developing their mechanical skills with orienteering, cross-country navigation daytime and night without electronics. If you don't have a good compass, buy one. You don't even have to have a good compass. If you just got a compass, buy one if you don't have one, what you can afford. And if you do get a nicer compass than the one you're presently using, take the old one, cash it or stash it somewhere else separate from the one you're using so that you have another compass in another location. I buy compasses all the time, relatively nice quality and some punkajunk Chinese. Are they great? Nope, but they do work. And the most important thing is that if I can get the basic, you know, where's north, I can kind of use my brain to do the rest of the math to get me where I need to be. So you're in the same situation. We need to make sure that you've got some kind of tool in the toolbox. Another thing I will remind you that when the communists take over, compasses typically are banned. People that I know who defected out of Vietnam after the fall of Vietnam, it was a death sentence. Hear what I say? A death sentence to have a compass. And what's interesting is the one gentleman I know who defected going across the Philippine Sea, he had three compasses. He was scared to death that they'd find out about any one of them. And guys, we're talking about compasses to escape Vietnam. We're talking crackerjacks, crackerjack kind of compasses. We're talking toss outs. That would cost you your life. Being able to exfiltrate out of an enemy area of control. Oh, they didn't want that. And the commies we have now, they want to kill you. They're not going to let you leave if they can help it or move around. They want to have control to do that. They just need to make sure that you are, well, you've got a boot on the back of your neck constantly. You are locked down. We're not gonna let that happen though. Don't worry. We'll be shooting them before that anything like that even starts to move in that that role in that direction Good call or jump in there. Oh, I just bought a bunch of little button compasses just to throw in Gear and cash and they're really cheap there, but they're still oil-filled about the size of a nickel But yes them if you do if you do buy them like that test them All you have to do is get your cardinal directions, but I have one out of ten is actually completely reversed. It points south and we're playing north. I'm like, oh, well that'll be fun. I can leave that somewhere interesting. Leave that for somebody we don't like. Exactly. Give it to Karen. This will get you out of here. Trust me. It will get you out of my misery. It will move you out of my misery. There we go. Oh my God! What are you doing? What's wrong with the compass? Why does it work right? No, shut up. Just use it. Shut up and just use it. Oh God. Well, she wouldn't know any better. She'd actually follow it. Right. You know the math-wearers. You give it. Oh, you need help? Here's your compass. And with each, and with each little compass that's defective, we'll also give them three additional face bras. They'll probably use all three at once. Yeah, it's a conditioning thing, so that's where they'd head. Well, the big thing about the little bullet compass, if you go to Teemu, they do have a pile of compasses in any number of different colors, numbers. Do the math and see which one makes the most sense price-wise. But like you said, you do have to test them. But considering the price, again, you've got a lot of tools to put in multiple little toolboxes all over the place. So you're not going to be out when the time comes. That's the most important prospect here is making sure that you do have something to work with when the time comes. And the way to do that, well, bulk. You're going to get the typical 10% that just don't work really well at all. That's typical China sport. We've seen this for what, decades now? But the ones that do work, well, they'll get you out of a pickle. And that's all that we need. We just need a little bit of work, and we don't need to be too fancy right away. Just enough get me down the road where I need to be. And another thing on that, somebody's asking, well, okay, yes, that there are China Sport lens attics, there are all kinds of knockoffs of a lot of the classic compasses, as they would call them. The military surplus, if it's real, take a look at the prices, you'll see why. If I need a lot of them, the China Sport solution will do for now. And then we upgrade progressively as we have the resources, as we have the assets, you know, that we can spend that money. But in the meantime, hey, this is a way to get us out of that slump or that hole we're in where we're short material where we need it. And it's, again, it's an affordability issue. I think one of the cool things about the TeamWoo stuff is every once in a while they do actually have something that's such a good copy. that it really is worth more than, far more than you paid for it, if you know what I mean. Mostly that happens in the body armor category where most people are like, oh China, China support body armor, oh what the hell. But amazingly enough there are a lot of other items, including the compasses where they've just, everything is in the right spot, everything does what it's supposed to do. But it's again, you have to test because you're going to find out what your percentages are plus and minus and then you can calculate how many more of these I think I need accordingly. Another thing about the with compasses is mapping if at all possible would be nice. Again, there's a lot of options out there, but wherever you are, wherever you're listening right now, If you can get maps from the county, grab them. If you can get maps from the township, you usually can. If you want basic information maps, they may be not as detailed with all the topographic features. But remember that the park service has maps. There's a lot of different sources out there. Grab them all. It may not be perfect, but They usually have some basic land navigation features that allow you to be able to orient yourself when the time comes. And again, a little bit of mapping, at least to do some work with, is better than nothing. And especially with the situation. Yep, go right ahead. It has to do with maps. If you do print maps, try printing them on Tyvex. You can buy a roll of Tyvex. There's a lot of things you can get it, but it's waterproof. The ink won't run. It's really hard to tear. You can mark on it, wipe it off, all that stuff. And you don't have to worry about waterproofing. It's pretty much indestructible unless you burn it, obviously. But it's a lot tougher than just regular paper. Real quick, thank you, Brad, because when you said that, guys, there is a video out there I want you to take a look at. You're going to have to find it. I don't have the address for it. It is Gummy Bears, Gummy Bear Ballistic Test. There's a couple of videos where they took these giant gummy bears. They were doing a little ha-ha. And they lined up four thinking they were going to kill a whole bunch of gummy bears. We're talking bears the size of toy bears, like a stuffed bear. Pretty good sized. Well, they fired with 9 millimeter, and the 9 millimeter stopped with the first gummy bear. Now, they were surprised. They were actually shocked. They also apparently fired at it with a whole wad of 22 and a number of other rounds, and it stopped virtually every round consistently. even in rapid fire with, you know, one round on top of the other. Why? Well, you might recall I mentioned this putty armor from Vietnam. I only have seen three examples. But the gummy bear video out there shooting, you know, ballistic gummy bear or shooting gummy bears with
