The freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. The brave, it's 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 hope in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate you and your Christian values can't be taught. According to this, you read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame, giving government control to you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm. Keep our country, put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit you so that children and leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear both sons of the Republic? Arise, take a stay, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each un-given right. Pray to God, as I awoke he vanished in the mist for once he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now his tyrants trampled each God-given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside and screamed while you were asleep and wondered what remained, the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. North. Clear you can't look at the sun blazing day here in the bottom of Michigan No, the snow didn't go anywhere. The snow is melting However, because it's so clear tonight it will be cold campers. It's gonna drop down guaranteed We're already losing the heat. I'd rather have the cloud cover roll in Keep what we got and start it start with more tomorrow, but we'll take we can get it's winter time here It is the 4th of December It is the 17th year of open, obvious, and in your face, by God, the Jewish mob's got to steal some stuff. So Fabian socialists and Soviet socialists in the Communist American District of Criminals, D.C., are doing everything they can to get a war going, because the Jewish mob, the Israelis, got to steal stuff. And when they want to steal stuff, the knuckle monkey America needs to drop to shoe-sized IQ level. slobber on itself and just go along so that we can bleed and be made poorer in the process because that is the plan. Anyway, it's 2025. Old Earth calendar. Give it all she's got, Captain. 125% and 2025, Battle for the Republic, book two, the Winter War. Yeah, I'm sitting here in my fighting position. I got my binoculars up again. There's that pair of feet sticking up out of the turret of that Bradley and I can't make out on the back end of those Mickey Mouse boots on that corpse. If those are a 12 or if that's a 10, I hope it's at least a 12. I can fit a 12. I can't fit a 10, but I would give him to Bob because his feet are freezing too. Remember, look at your enemy, no matter what condition you're in. There's nothing but a mobile resupply pod that needs to be harvested. The wolves and the coyotes they are eating well at night But the good thing is the corpse was up inside the turret The turret worked like a basket the way it was you know flipped upside down So the coyotes and the wild dogs or the dogs couldn't get to the corpse to tear it apart and mess up the boots Which is a good thing. I remember the beginning of the winter war the wind and lots of snow and some ice. Don't forget the ice, especially when it gets really cold enough. So anyway, it has been a very busy week and here we are Thursday already. We've got a whole bunch of other packages out. So guys, pay attention to your mailboxes and also a bunch of other postage went out too. I sent a list, or lists actually. of all of the training manuals and the new videos that are available for the different militia units if you guys want them. And we're doing this because we've got a new air threat combined arms team video that we're doing. Well, actually, part one's done. But we're adding to it. More on that in a minute. But... The basic has to do with air defense at the individual and the fire team and squad level because what's interesting about the battlefield that we're facing and the battlefield we already have a demonstration of which they don't want to show you any real footage. They show you propaganda bullshit footage. Russia was so amazed by this thing that came out and they were so awe inspired that all these huge don't want to do. I'll kiss my ass. God, I hate this. And it's especially bad in socialist media. Socialist media run by the Jewish mob is like exacerbated, exaggerated, expanded upon AI stupidity imagery to the point where it's like really, the moment I see a little bit of AI, my favorite is once again last night. just very quickly going through videos and it was like, yep, there he is, he's got a, let's see, the end of Ukraine war, the guy looks like he has a Mao Zedong Mario hat with a star that isn't a square, it's not, you notice how even with these things, the stars aren't even like straight. They're like they're like they're fuzzy stars off a video game, but there's a star on this this guy's got a green hat He's got a kind of a green uniform. He's got two bandoliers crossing his chest He's holding a rifle that has this big-ass hole at the end of the muzzle with a big blade sight That comes back to a wooden stock which then of course has some kind of goofy optic on the top Which has nothing to do with anything while it has a flint lock on the side of the rifle and a magazine on the bottom of it. And then it comes back and it's got this like curled kind of weird wooden stock, butt stock on the end of it. And it's like, okay, the guy has the bandoliercy which is really cool because it's like individual big-ass weird-looking who knows what the hell they were supposed to be bullets, you know, poncho via. And then of course you've got one or two pieces of gear, none of which make any sense. And he's wearing Russian or, you know, like say German type, pull up slip-on jack boots. And Hobspur is for a pair of pants with some kind of funky stripe. It was a costume outfit for Star Wars. I go, okay, cool. But I just don't think that that particular character and that particular AI-generated bullshit image from social media is the correct representation of a Ukrainian soldier, valiantly fighting on the battlefields of the Ukraine. I mean, it's just, he's probably doing better. Now, if he was looking like that, I'd feel sorry for the forebaster. I really would. It's like, really? Wow, where did you get that magazine-fed, muzzle-loading, flintlock, you know, fully semi-automatic single-shot rifle? Wow didn't quite have a blunderbuss front They always put a big thick front ring on the end But they don't seem to be able if you notice something they don't seem to be able to do flash hiders with AI I've noticed that It's got to have a big because it doesn't look impressive if it doesn't have like a sewer pipe hole in the end of the barrel It's it will work Except most of the rifles everybody is carrying are 5.56 or 5.45 by 39 and those are all Pipsqueak little .22 barrels that yeah, they look big when they're pointed at you in theory, but nah, not really. Okay? So anyway, beyond that, the big thing here again is there's a lot of tricks that they don't want you to see because they're all things you could do to defeat the drones and if they do that you won't be terrified of a big police state. You'll respect the idea that they're trying to kill you. I mean we always understand that part of the game. But you won't be doing the, oh my god it's giving resistance we can't do anything. Wait a minute, you mean to say that they stopped that drone with shears like bugs-free screen shears from a window? by draping it over a corridor area and the drone comes into the door chasing the guy and the guy goes past the shears, just walks around him and the drone runs into the shears and drops to the ground and meanwhile the guy is around the corner and it goes off finally, boom, but there's no casualties. Wow, and it wasn't really, it was a grenade-type boom. There's no nuclear devices for these things, but I might be near a grenade, but it's just the idea that The imagery is contrary to the whole idea. It's feudal resist. You'll be absorbed. We're all gonna die. Blah blah blah. But that is what they need. Remember, the wars, the images of the war are not for the purpose of educating, but hopefully terrifying you, the population. If you're gullible enough, and they're figuring that we're all stupid and we're all gullible. So they continue to generate propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, And that's the reason for, again, the new air defense policy and procedure concepts that we're talking about. Number one, and again, this is overlapping with what you're gonna be able to see with some of the other stuff that's going on in these training, with the training aids. But let me point something out. Okay, they're doing 5.56 and the 5.45 by 39 shot shells. Guys, first of all, it's only a 20 or 22 caliber barrel. Yes, it's nice that you're putting a handful of pellets down range when you pull the trigger. Basically, that's the equivalent to a musket shot load that they used to load. Remember, buck or ball, that was the old term. Ball was used during the day. Buck was used for pickets and sentries or for night fire. Why buck? Because typically three buck were used with a muzzle loading rifle and the idea was it was like firing a burst or firing a shotgun shell at somebody at night it was more likely you were going to tag them with your, you know, shot round and therefore do damage. And also motivate the individual to think it probably isn't a good day to continue with whatever I was thinking about doing in the way of an attack. Or at least you hit somebody and start to create a nutrition situation because whoever you shot first, there's probably a lot of his buddies behind you trying to sneak up through your positions. Now that's muzzle loaders, but it didn't change with modern arms. However, I'm going to point this out again. Shotguns are so stinking cheap. The only reason is because of the petty ass governments on both sides, and ours too. that are terrified of the idea that a whole lot more weapons would be out there, but a pump 12 gauge or a semi-auto 12 gauge is jump change right now. You can go to the cyber deals and I didn't even mention it over the last couple days, but $100 will get you $100 retail. Retail will get you a five shot or a six shot 12 gauge semi-auto or pump gun. 12 gauge. Now, Governments aren't going to pay well except for our government because the Jews are controlling it so we're going to get ripped off and they charge $300 for a shotgun that cost about $40. You know that's what happens. You know in this day and age with the Jews screwing us and people being stupid because of course you got so many gun stupid people that don't have any clue about any weapons at all because they've been conditioned by the public fool system. So you could baffle him when he'd be as you want. Oh, those shotguns are like gold, man. They could go five, eight, five, eight hundred dollars. Eight hundred, listen, is he? Can you charge eight hundred? Sure, if you get him for $22.95 from Turkey, we can charge $600 to this stupid American, the Goyem government. We control them. We can do this. I'm telling you. That's exactly how it's being played right now. Instead, reality, for probably about $35 a unit. We could have a shotgun on everybody's shoulder in the field. If you're being charged $100, let me do the math in reverse for you again. First of all, you're going to... Paul Meadows State Armory. Let's go to Paul Meadows State Armory. You've got a shotgun. It's being offered for $109.99. Remember that from their supplier to the shelf, the markup is approximately 50%. So right off the bat, going back to the jobber that provided that $110 shotgun to Palmetto State Armory, what's the price of the shotgun if I just bought it from a supplier? About $56 for that shotgun. Maybe $60, but that would be high. Now here's the thing. From the jobber to the distributor or to the bolter that's out there, the price is half yet again. So if I could buy a shotgun from this wholesale, rent-a-revolution company for $55, $60, that means I can get it from the big big boy, the big distributor, for $30. Which is kind of scary because, while in many cases the distributor is also the manufacturer, the distributor in many cases is yet another person in the feeding chain. So, while the distributor is offering it to the jobbers, to the bulkers, for $30, or getting it for $30, that means that manufacturing, if there is another leg, is actually cranking out that pump shotgun and seed technology for about $15 to $20. How much do you pay for a magazine for your rifle? If we were serious about, let's eradicate the tactical drone threat, We just simply go out and spend a couple of hundred million dollars at most and we buy both shotguns, training aids, ammunition, bulk ammunition, take your pick, whichever preferred anti-vehicle bird shot is going to work for the drone-at-toids. I'd be willing to bet that either BB or number four buck would be the best choice. So, jump change when government's buying it because they're going to buy cheapest for the mostest, which they should. And I want that anyway because I need to have every man out there with a lightweight tubular fed, or well, tubular magazine pump or semi-auto shotgun, and when we hear the meeee everybody is on air defense mode. In fact, to be quite honest, the drone threat is so great now. that at least 50% of the team in the field would be just as well off constantly carrying the shotgun and slinging their light rifle just as, you know, reserve. In fact, if you were traveling and you're in a high threat situation, I'd have 100% of the men carrying the 12 gauge and slinging their light rifle. Well, why? Well, we need to wipe out the drones. Does everybody understand? By the way, this is something we're talking about in classes right now, and I've been showing people videos of what I'm talking about here that they're allowing you to see. Now mind you, again, these guys are getting better at skeet and trap because that's really what this is all about. Who are the best people you can recruit for tactical close air defense nowadays? Trap and skeet shooters. Now, if you don't know what a trap and skeet shooter is, and if you don't know about burr, about clay busting, I want you to go to YouTube and punch in trap and skeet competition, or trap and skeet shooting. And I want you to go watch what can be done with a 12 gauge, or a 20 gauge, or a 28 gauge shotgun, that's right, to make 28, etc., etc. And I want you to think, how is it that all the system, our government, is such a worthless pile of turds, and that they completely went into catatonic brain fart over the idea that, oh my god, this threat. Now, they do have things they've offered, which by the way are viable defense systems, but we need to give the soldier, the militia man, the ability to participate in the air defense because it eradicates its fuel-to-resist scenario. It destroys it. Everyone contributes. This is part of the can-do American attitude that you must pump up. The pricks on the other side, I hope that they piss their pants and then they continue to do the scream willy, oh my God, we're doomed. I don't care. On our side, what's our motivation? Kill the enemy, sir. Destroy everything they have. Or, kill the enemy and strip them bare-ass naked of everything they own. Preferably that, because we need everything that they've got. We're just not going to use it the same way they're using it, sir. Does everybody understand what I'm talking about? Now again, the air defense does not just include weapon systems. It can also be a blockade. I'm going to tell you something. Chicken wire, chicken wire, chicken wire, and chicken wire. And then by the way, chicken wire. Traditionally, if you know anything about urban warfare, which we've talked about here on the air for decades now, one of the oldest tricks for urban warfare they don't talk about, and they're not going to show you all so, is the same thing that these guys did in this one video I described, only instead of using curtain shears from, you know, one of the windows in the apartment that they were fighting in, to block the hallway and it was difficult to see because the shears are see-through, okay? But instead, you go with chicken wire. Anybody familiar with a grenade trap in a hallway using chicken wire? Do you know how to do that? Well, let me help you with something. You should have for not just your sappers, but all of your team units, the instruction on how to do, obviously, urban or, again, structural defense. What you do is you take a piece of clapboard, you hook it up, you staple or you wrap the chicken water around that and then fasten it into place. You can tie it into place, you can zip- tie it into place, you can screw it into place, you can staple it into place. And you take that, you get up on a chair and you nail that, or again, screw it to the ceiling perpendicular to the length of the hallway. Ideally, you want to do it halfway down the hallway, but you can also do it closer to your end, or you can do it closer to the entranceway or the approach of what is an expected enemy path of activity. When you do this, you drop the chicken wire all the way down to the floor, stretch it out, take another piece of clapboard, a piece of pine board, and at the bottom, mark where you want to cut, cut your wire, staple and nail that and leave the board hanging. The board on the bottom is not to nail to the floor. The board on the bottom is to stretch out and create a catcher's mitt. You don't need much. This works exceptionally well with anti-grenade. But what's really cool is you can shoot through it. With the dronatoids, it works the same way. The drone toy isn't going to be able to fly through if it's the, you see many of these images where the drones are coming right into, yep, well this stops them dead in their tracks. Now, that's only if you didn't have any other defense up, but these are one of the many different techniques that you use for creating an integrated, multi-faceted air and personal defense net. And literally that screen is a net. Now here's the thing, why do I leave it hanging at the bottom? Because if I want to pass through that hallway, all I have to do is move left and right of the chicken wire that I've hung from the ceiling, and I can move through it just like a curtain. But it drops right back to its original position because it's weighted at the bottom. And if a grenade tries to pass through, it's going to pop, but it comes in, might hang up on it, but it's not likely. It's going to bounce back. Now, it's not gonna be any Hollywood movie crap where you bounce us back and blows up on the enemy. Maybe you're lucky, maybe that happens. But we're just happy with it not getting down the hallway to where I am. Now in addition to that, fortifying areas of operation with barricades, ideally with sandbags, Mr. Sandbag is your friend. Sandbags, you should be collecting them every chance you can. Don't throw away any feed bags. I do ducks and goats and anytime I see somebody else getting rid of bags of any kind like that, I grab them, roll them up flat and tight, fill up a whole bag with a whole bunch of other bags, and then put that inside another container so the critters don't turn it into mouse nesting material if possible, but hey, if you hang it from the rafter or something, just as well off. However long it lasts, at last they were free. Utility bags that you get, like I just did a bunch of gravel, so I have a whole bunch of these standard bags. They're crappy bags. Most of the bags are putting the gravel and stuff in are just absolutely debris nowadays, but they're good enough for filling with other sand, with more sand. and creating extemperate sandbags for more barriers. Again, it's got to be disposable, cheap, and I can throw it away, leave it behind, and not cry about it. But the important thing is sandbags stop most small arms fire. And actually, they stop all small arms fire if you know how to use the sandbag. OK? And other objects can be used full of sand, gravel, dirt, aggregate, whatever you can, and create additional bullet barriers. I love 5 gallon pails. 5 gallon pails inside a house are totally nondescript but they can be decorated. They can be full of sand. And you can make them look like a flower pot. You can put a live plant on top of them. But they're a 5 gallon pail of dead weight sand. If you use gravel, the good thing about gravel is the aggregate, the little rocks, stop the bullets better. We were probably taught that. So little things like that add up, especially if you can stack it. One neat thing about 5 gallon pails, you make a row too high. Then you take the other row and put it in between, like stack it right in front of the other, the next row, but too high. And you put it where the two other buckets come together, now you've got an integrated wall that is relatively bulletproof. The neat thing is if you want to reconfigure because let's say your enemy engaged in an area and now they may have actually seen fallen back from a position, you can completely with variable geometry technology like this, you know, buckets and boxes and sandbags, and completely change the internal defenses so that there isn't a working intelligence report to be done that would be useful. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. You want to win, you got to be ahead of the curve in most everything. Now back to the air defense here real quick. 12 gauge, anything and everything can help with that, but let's not forget too that yes, we've talked about microwave cannons, they're very cheap and easy to make. Frequency generators. are especially crucial, not just because they would knock out drone frequencies, but they'll knock out all enemy radio communications, electronics of any kind that talk to each other. The big squawk in talk right now, the new helmet, if you haven't seen the one that they're claiming, which God knows what they're charging for the stupid thing, but there's this new helmet and they can look and they can see between everybody, they're all integrated together. I want them to carry a bulky piece of crap like that. I hope my enemy buys tons of that garbage. They will, to a degree, waste the money on it. Then, of course, it won't work, right? But that won't make any difference, because it's like you said in RoboCop. Who cares if it works? Works. We'll be selling the Army's field. Government aren't me. Spare parts for 15 years? Remember the discussion about, you know, the robot that wasn't quite working right? The killer robot? Yes, RoboCop. I want to keep working. Yeah. Alright, let's see if we got Mark back. Star six to mute himself. Let me see if I can do that for you dad. There you go. Five by five. Ed. I know you got me five by five, but Ed couldn't hear anything. He was distorted. I had to keep going. One, two, three. One, two, three. Because you're coming in loud and clear right now. Literally, you made the verbal comp analogy and then you started sounding like you went digital and then everything was broken up. And I don't think you could. I don't think you could hear the cowers or the music I started. Nope, I could barely hear the music. That's why I knew you were shifting for a reason. If need be, we'll switch to satellite. But you know what's really bad? Here's the thing. We're having technical issues with the systems that presently exist. And guys, we have clear blue sky. We have nice temperature. There is absolutely no reason for any malfunctions except for the half a million other miles in between that all this stuff travels before it gets to the network. So again for everybody out there, it is first of all it is Thursday we are about 37 minutes after the subject is aired in personal air defense for the individual fire team in the squad but let's do this. We're going to do a little music, Ken had the right idea and you know what's funny I actually was thinking about having him play Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition and lo and behold The matrix the matrix thing which is okay real quick first of all again I want to remind everybody keep an eye on your mailboxes We got a whole bunch of stuff that went out. We have instructional material instructional material I had a couple of really cool things that I ripped open some of the boxes of waiting for they went back into the Boxes, you know window the boxes got taped so we have prizes a couple prizes that are still outbound I got a big box for Wagner, which unfortunately I'll take care of. We've got to get it out. And he hopefully is listening. If not, there's going to be an email on the way, so just pay attention and watch for that. Also, for our instructors, yes, I just had a spike here on the alternate side. We just sent a whole ton of stuff out to Kansas. So the Kansas order from the militia printing shop is gone and out. And it's bulky. So one of the things is there was a request, something a little different. They printed up a whole ton of the thousand inch. These are the older style 1000 inch which has all the different little silhouette targets on it appropriately scaled so that if you are on a 25 yard range the pop ups are all the correct scale as you would see them if they were at 150, 200, 250, 300. The one set that I printed up which I got, it's a good thing I saved these, It's the group for the .308 rifle for the M14, which are different. So I think they asked for 3,000 pieces of the .556 and those are gone. And I believe what we did is we threw a couple bundles of the .762 by 51 NATO just so you have some and you guys can try them out and see if you like them. Now the purpose behind that is if you can't get to a long, long range, The purpose behind those silhouette targets is so that you have proper scale and you are visualizing the way you should and you're at least getting range time with the appropriate target association. Okay? So these are real good choice. They are something that everybody should be using. There are many other ways to have targets set up and again, don't forget if you can't get to a range, airsoft, airsoft, airsoft, airsoft. Don't laugh at Airsoft. The government wants to laugh, you know, propagandists for the government laugh at Airsoft because they know what I've been saying is true, in that all range time is good time. When you have a training aid, the only thing that makes that training aid effective is the adult attitude of the operator. If you are imbecilic, you will think in an imbecilic way. If you realize the value of being able to apply as an adult all of the skills that you have learned with your pistol, rifle, or shotgun marksmanship and apply them to the training aid, you are reinforcing good habit. And good habit is what we want to be second nature. Our goal is to win. To do that we need to hit the target. What is the spear of the bayonet? Kill sir! When Bennett what are you talking about? You have to throw that. No, you're right. That's it. That's the closest part of your rifle here. Hold my manette See he caught it. I told you you would oh There we go and just to be safe. Oh, wait a minute, but stroke just to be safe so anyway again, the most important thing here is Whatever we put out, I expect you to reproduce. We expect you to crank out more. We want you to. There's no patents on any of this stuff. There's no copyrights on any of this stuff because we need it out where as many people can access it as possible. One of the other things that they did do is incorporated with that Kansas shipment is also a bunch of other targets for selection. So there are other pieces that are being done. How they're doing this is we used to do all the time. I was in printing years ago. When you do set up for a press, a printing press, you have to run an image through. And what you do is you're getting the system to shake. You're getting everything so the ink is where it's supposed to be, the plate is pressing, everything is doing its part. You want to make sure all the integrated parts as it pulls the paper, runs it to the drum, rolls it through the stock, and then impresses it. You want to make sure that everything is running right. So usually what they used to do for warm ups is we would do targets. We do deer silhouette targets, people targets. We do like a 45 by 54 sheet of paper of every type of target you can imagine and stack them like cordwood. Then we take them over to the paper deck and cut them as needed, as, you know, mapped out. And we had targets. We had pallets of targets. They're very cheap to make when you're doing it that way. In fact, they were free for us all day long. And so we used that. Well, any print shop can do that. And ours, the guys and the girls are doing the same for us. So do a check on the request list. And remember, you're going to have to pay for shipping. That shipping went out by truck, so it's big. So you guys, you know who's going to be shipping it for you. And we'll be there in probably three or four days at the most. Kansas ain't that far away from Michigan. Anyway, let's see what else is next here. Oh, music. Ah, we won't worry about music for this time around. It is Thursday. And I'm going to continue on the subject here. Robocop was not important, but the fact that that's the last thing you heard. I'll remind you of what they said years ago. Remember in the movie, it's like, who cares if it doesn't work? We'll be selling spare parts to the government for 15 years. We'll make a fortune. That's exactly how it works with a lot of the dribble that they're generating. Right now they've got this helmet. It's a ghost helmet, man. Everybody's wearing it. Have you seen the size of this stupid thing? Now it's one thing if you're at a plane and you're sitting on your dead ass and you have a heads up display and a fire control display and they're all attached to this big bucket you're putting on your head the size of a wash tub turned upside down. That's not a problem because the pilot can't go anywhere. He's not going anywhere. It's very uncomfortable to pay on the aircraft he's in though, but if he's longer, he sits there, he says they're not really built for comfort with regard to seating. Most people don't realize that. But still, they're not going anywhere. It's another thing to be in the field. And if you look at some of this dimple ass stuff that they've come up with, I would not in any way, shape, or form. You actually have to stay out where you can be shot in order for you to use the equipment. Okay, and the more obstacles and horrible, terrible things you put out there that are just obnoxiously difficult to see but hook and hay and things, you can't go cross country with the crap that they're showing. You can't go through Michigan terrain. We were just looking at, we had deer all around us today, we just drove back from going out and doing a sortay for some material and to do the shipping. And all the deer you couldn't find during deer season here have all come out of the woodwork. So we got like a six or seven deer, little mini herd that passed in front of us on the road, on the secondary road. And another one is on the cornfield now right out in the open, about eight or ten of them. And then another two here, another one there, etc., etc., etc. But here's the thing. Where are they all going? Well, they're going into, every time they get spooked, they're going into these massive ash wastelands where we have, in Michigan here, we've got the ash borer. that has killed a massive amount of trees. Well the trees, nobody's cutting them up the way they used to, so you've got this tangle. It's unimpenetrable, but it's almost as good as Markwood. Yeah, it's like Markwood Forest. Yeah, exactly. There you go. And the thing is that the deer, of course they're picking their way through this. But if you look at all the crap that they're pushing right now, and you had to go through that area to fight in the really dense ground cover and forested areas, you are screwed. They have to be literally out in the open. I don't mind if my enemy stays out in the open. That's the worst possible place to be in the middle of the field. Well, they've got vehicles in it. Yeah, they die just like everybody else. How many vehicles have been poured into from both sides into Ukraine? Into some up-pimple conflict. That pimple conflict has eaten how many armored vehicles? Because of how and on both sides I mean in Russians know they've got a you know again But the Russians had a backlog and we have a ton of older stuff that they've been pouring in there Which really it will work everybody says it's up there. It's not obsolete Does it move does it have armor well? It's better need bare-ass naked to the wind so any armors good armor Understanding how to apply it and what the limitations are or what you can do to improve it or improve the fire control and weapon systems Plus adding something I've been talking about here air defense That's all the matter of how creative and motivated you are to keep your people alive. And there's nothing that's been built in the last 50 years that's obsolete. There's nothing really in the last 60 to 70 years that's been built that's obsolete. Anything and everything you're talking about in the way of armored vehicles is going to be brand new, really. Nobody can afford brand new. This is one of the reasons the Russians have been holding back their Armada fleet, even though they have them, because they know they're going to be fighting the better equipment eventually. So they're taking all of their older equipment, pulling it out, running the factory line to put it all back out, you know, into service, and they're throwing it out there because they're facing older equipment than the old equipment that they're rejuvenating. But nobody's talking about that. Oh, the Russians are using older old tanks. Well, yeah, of course they are. Are you getting it? We might be stupid and the Jews might convince you to waste a god-awful amount of digits in a situation where you could have saved all those tanks you dumped in the ocean. Remember all those M60s? Good old Neil Clinton dumped in the ocean because we... And by the way, George Bush was part of that too. Because we had a peaceful of dope, you know, disarm the world. Man, know what they were doing is screwing America. And what we said at the time, all those main battle tanks could have been put, parked. Tanks don't really go bad. Okay? Especially when they weigh 50, 60 tons and the armor is, you know, how many inches thick. What, you think it, what's it, sour? Does it mold? No, it doesn't. But you see with the rhetoric that's used, you know, the stupid rhetoric, but then again, if you have people who don't have a clue, you can convince them of the old stuff, man. Well, the old stuff is it'll still rattle work and you don't need the newest everywhere. In fact, where the best is, the best fights. Where secondary forces are, secondary forces typically fight. A forces fight, A forces, B forces fight, or up against B groups. Then it goes right down the pecking order. And don't forget the Russians kicked the shit out of us in Georgia with a B category armored unit, a B category armored corps that wasn't even the latest of anything that they had. And that was the first time they tried a Ukraine scam with Georgia and it didn't work with Georgia. So they waited a little bit and the Jews, who of course are manipulating Ukraine, and the Jews who are manipulating America got us into another one. And this time around they had played, they just had to pull it through because they just got to keep us in conflict. Now for us, we've got to be ready to deal with the threat that they're presenting because once they plug the rest of this police state crap in that they're pushing, they're going to turn their beady red eyes on the American people and it's obvious. It's like them yapping about the Somalis or yapping about the Venezuelans. A bunch of punk ass liars. This is the same bull BS that they've used before so that when they get the bigger police state than the really big police state we already had, which is even bigger than the really big police state we had before, they're going to do what they did with the Patriot Act and it'll be turned on the American people. And it's the Jews doing it because you can't see anything else now. Because it's obviously, you know, the kosher mafia in charge of the District of Criminals and it's blatant, it's open, it's in your face. So you know who your enemy is. The big thing is be ready to fight, fight well because you ain't going with them and there is no coming out of whatever detention camp or prison they put you in. So you might as well fight, fight hard, kill every last one of the bastards and fight who sent them and kill every last one of them too. That's just how it works. So anyway, again, air defense, personal shotgun. Other types of ELU are also handy. The personally carried microwave defense system would be integrated into a fireteam or a squad. Not every person would be carrying that technology and it's not necessarily your first best choice, but Of all of the technology that we would deal with these new fiber optic guided drones slash missiles, because that's really what they are, there's nothing new there. That's a 40 year old technology regurgitated, as I've tried to explain many times. And some people is finally sinking in. The wire guided drone is nothing more than the old Russian and American technology from the late 60s on. that was traditionally for wire-guided anti-tank and anti-personnel missiles. They just wait long enough and then they can tell you it's something brand new and unique and different from anything. No, it's not. You just, what you do is you do change-up. This is the thing about warfare. It's like I told you yesterday talking about special forces. Special forces only work if they can do change-up. And also if you have tiers of conflict, If you think that you can, you know, you always tell me bullshit movies, well the special warfare unit, if the special warfare unit is working by itself, the only, in any situation, the only thing that they truly can count on is the idea that if you drop somebody in and you're ruthless, you know that any and everybody you see, whether it's a, if you're like seals or special forces or a mussad or whatever, they're counting on this. They love no one. Everybody is an enemy but the eight, ten, or twelve people that they have with them, so anybody else they see is shootable. The one thing they're counting on is the idea that you have to determine shoot no shoot because you have to know friend foe. You have to be able to identify friend foe. Whereas if you're a dagger unit, Anything and everything goes. Anything and everything goes. Well, we wouldn't shoot women. Yes, they'll shoot women. They'll shoot kids. They'll shoot everybody. Why? Because all the targets are the same to any of these special dagger groups. They don't care what they are. And then they'll lie to you about it later. But the bottom line is, is they're ruthless. They're ruthless because when they drop into an area, everybody's a target. Everybody's the enemy. Any other bullshit they try to push on you or tell you how they have some kind of discretionary... No, they don't. That's a lie. Now you take the same attitude with them, see them, shoot them, drop them. And if you are better at maintaining operational security or operational performance within your team, then you're not going to make mistakes. So you're just as ruthless as they are, except the only people you're shooting are the ruthless people who thought they killed the men, the women, and the kids, and that they get away with it, drop ordnance, call in ordnance to kill whole wedding parties, families, whatever. Well then, be ruthless with them. already have in your mind to be utterly ruthless with them. You have to already make that decision. When you go into fight mode, all bets are off and there's only one option, win. There is no conversation, there is no negotiation, there is no compromising, win. There is no we gotta talk, win. What does that mean? Put every bullet you got down range. Hose there, hind end down. I don't say that very often. certain individuals, your rifle marksman, certain individuals who may not be as good a shot in your group, make really great hosedown people. In other words, yep, see that target? I'm going to put three tracers into an area. You see me put three tracers into a target area? I want you to dump a whole magazine in that area of operation right there. You see me go, pfft, yeah, that means everybody turned, but especially our volume, you know, volume task personnel. You put every bow down that target you can. In fact, you want to see as many of whatever's there drop as quickly as possible. By the way, if you've got a 40 millimeter or rifle grenade, dump one in there too. Boom, boom. There you go. So again, the individual, that 12-gauge shotgun or any shotgun, 20-gauge, 12-gauge, every team member should have one. It should be the lightest gun possible so that it does not add significantly to the combat weight. Let me ask you something. What is the weight of a five-shot, Turkish, 12-gauge pump shotgun with a polymer stock on it? Now we want stocks. And we're going to go through a little pistol grip and make it smaller. No, no, we want accuracy. We don't want it to get close. So we want to be able to, again, A, we want at least an intermediate bird barrel on your personal shotgun, not a short barrel. Short barrel is not going to be useful. We need a bird barrel. We are literally hunting. Now, since you've got a bird barrel, you probably also, oh well, buy the right barrel, buy the right gun, add an extension to make it instead of a five shot, all of a sudden with a little upgrading, you're making an eight shot. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Just like a buffer's gun on a ship, only instead everything's scaled down. Now, the whole team doing that, just imagine what that's like. Now, as far as deploying in a field, if you're going to be deploying and you understand that you're working this kind of combined arms conflict situation, you're going to be carrying a lot of this stuff in one way and it's issued at the last minute example. If you're talking about working in an urban or any kind of environment, you guys have better be thinking ahead to useful, real tools. Not just wind and every tool is a weapon by the way to One of the tools that is still one of the most useful I got one of these little Tomahawks right here. So to speak is these very fine Drywall hammers. Oh, you're gonna hold on. Which one do I have right here? There's my s-wing right here Oh god, I got something else in top of them that shouldn't be like that. I might want to chop somebody One of these s-wing drywall hammers is a perfect sapper combat engineer tool Now, it's also a good mayhem tool. I can cleave your head in, I can hammer your head in with the one end with the hammer. It's got a nail puller, which is great because you'll cannibalize material in the field. And it's got this wonderful taper. Always take a look at the drywall hammers. They do not have a straight blade perpendicular to the handle. They have about a 10 to 12 degree angle to them, some more. And the purpose behind this is so that you can use that edge, the edge side of the drywall hammer, as a cleaning tool. You put it up, if you notice, you've got a stirrup point, just like on a tomahawk. If you come right up the handle and you just slide up to the head, you've got a place where your finger can rest right behind that tomahawk blade. The purpose behind that is that you can use that as a cutting tool and holes in a piece of drywall. Well, this same device is great for putting holes in people or crushing skulls on people. And it's a solid shank, solid shaft, so it's not going to fail you. It can't break. Now, in the same breath over here, I've got another one, I have a wooden handle version. One of the China Sport ones that came out, well, probably what, 15 years ago, I just found two of them I forgot I'd stored away somewhere because I have so many. But this is one of your engineer tools that should be mandatory within the team. And since it obviously is a good weapon, it wouldn't hurt for a lot of people to be carrying these as a combat device. It's a combination of tool, like same as with the E tool. But if you're putting up some of the things we're talking about, obstacles, screen or whatever. You need a tack driver, you might need a nail puller, certainly want to cut things. If you've got a little piece of wire there, smack. Now, in the same breath, a universal tool, it should be every man should be carrying a universal multi-tool. Every man, I don't care if it's nice, I don't care if it's expensive or if it's a cheapie China Sport, but everybody carries one. All of them have a wire cutter on them. Now, in addition to that, yes. Immediately, some say, well, Mark, why don't we just have wire cutters? Hey, that's a good idea. That's exactly what you should be doing. So between the E tool, the universal, in this case, drywall hammer, a universal small Leatherman type tool, which is always on your person anyway. Add a decent pair of Dike cutters. Take your pick. There's a number of different types and they also have multi-blades. I recommend the ones that have the multi-cut stations. Then you want those. Between all of that, there's anything you can't build. Now the only other thing I'd add, maybe last but not least, and not maybe because I carry one in every combat kit, is a folding saw. Now when I build obstacles when I do anti-personnel, you know, you know, devices if I have to build Shelters in the field if I need to build a stretcher for him for a soldier I take my my little scratch it slash Pack it here chop a couple of saplings strip the saplings take my poncho fold it in half lengthwise Snap that together run the poles through the poncho and I got myself a stretcher But I need the tool to do that. And by the way, the little hand saw means I can cut faster too probably, so there we go. But if I also need a board or a piece of wood to go on the bottom of that, for instance, that fencing that I'm going to put up, the chicken fencing, well guess what? That saw comes in real handy for that. Maybe I don't have the material the right length, but I can make it that way. We're going into conflict with the people who believe that they're the chosen, that they're going to exterminate a whole bunch of us. They already tried with the coronavirus virus scam, and there are a lot of poor people that are dying because of that, and nothing we can do to fix them. But they're coming at us physically. We need to be prepared to fight in every dimension, with every dynamic we can, And defense against the technology is always many times cheaper than the offensive technology developed. Always remember that. These dronatoids eventually will become less and less useful. For propaganda, that's purely why they've been driving them hard right now. But every tool eventually becomes useless in the toolbox because of the effectiveness of countermeasures. This has always been the case. This is why they're telling you tanks are obsolete. What's made that happen? Well, the new kid on the block, which isn't the new kid on the block. I can show you articles from 1973 which said tanks are totally obsolete with the Sager 1, Sager 2, Sager 3 briefcase missile. It's the end of the world. Nobody will ever build a tank again. By the year 2020, there will be no tanks in the world because of the advanced Technia and how many tanks are out there in the world right now. Do you know how many tanks are in Africa? If everybody thinks tanks are obsolete, I'm going to tell you something. You really don't have any clue, but if you do a Jane survey, how many tanks are in Liberia? How many tanks are in Libya? How many tanks are in Algeria? How many tanks are in, oh, by the way, Egypt? And Egypt's in transition between American and Russian. Now many Abrams tanks, the Egyptians have right now in inventory in Egypt. This is why when they said, well, the Egyptians are involved in Charlie Kirk's death, Well, the Egyptians are whores to the Israelis and they're bought and paid for by us because we pay for whatever the Israelis want. So the Egyptians are providing resources directly to the Mossad who is operating all over our country. And by the way, it just shed a little bit of light on the whole integrated process of spooks and kooks that are all over our country operating in this shadow mechanism that are right out there where you can find them if you just pay attention. The planes that were part of the Charlie Kirk assassination, everybody keeps going, oh, these Egyptians, ha ha. You shouldn't be laughing about that. The Egypt has an extensive intelligence service, and it is hoored out to the US and hoored out to the Israelis at the order of the Israelis to the US on a regular basis. And Egypt also has quite a dynamic fighting force that, if it really were free and independent, would put the hammer on the Israelis and prevent the Palestinians from being raped the way they are. But obviously because they're sitting on their hands, tells you whose bagel is cream-cheesed over there in Egypt. Just easily. Anyway, we're at the top. Let's talk about bagels and cream cheese. Oh, that sounds like a great treat. I'd love to have some dead from locks with my bagels and the cream cheese. Oh, I am telling you. We should be hearing the music unless I'm isolated completely from the planet. And I don't think I am. And we should be hearing the music. Maybe, oh, let me double check here. I could be dead to the world. I don't know. You are. Pretty weird. Okay, that's good. We got Mike there too. Okay, for everybody real quick, the drawing, we have the drawing coming up tomorrow. You still have time to get into the drawing. If you would, take the time, go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. When you get there, go to the donate key. When you get to the donate key, you can donate any amount, $1, $5, $10. For each dollar, your name goes in the hat once, 1, 1, 5, 5, 10, 10, 1, million, 1, million. Oh, that'd be a lot of little slips for it to write. Anyway, don't leave the page yet. Go down a little bit. And there is a notice component there. Write your name or write. How about you type in your name, your address, and your zip code. Now you can leave. You're done. But this is for the end of the year drawings. And of course, you don't have to be in the drawings. You have people say, I don't need to be in the drawings. I have all the goodies I want. And I appreciate that. Although some of those people are some of the people who donated other stuff to the drawings, which is kind of cool. So we appreciate it. Anyway, oh, by the way, just real quick. Some of you are getting certain optic components in the drawings and when I bought them they were quite reasonably priced. The price for those items has gone up 1500%. Then I have a bucket of them. I'm almost attempted to actually go, wow, we could probably do some separate from drawing things with not with our people, but just putting them out on the market. So there's a few items you're getting, especially some of the scope mounts and stuff. Guys, I just made a good deal, the right place, the right time, but trying to replace them, I couldn't even touch them now. It's just I just found that out in the last what four days. I was looking at it's like wait a minute Well am I seen that right so this is how crazy a lot of the production and import stuff has gone But some of the stuff you're getting Won't be in the next drawing I Will say it'll be in this set of drawings, but it won't be in any other one. That's for sure So again appreciate some of the cool stuff that's in the boxes is showing up. We should be hearing the music We are at the top. It is break time. I hope it's break time. Could be break time. Well, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, duh, I know. So anyway, well, let's do this. Well, we need to have the intermission music for Monty Python on the Holy Grail. That was probably one of the coolest things they could do, where they threw this intermission, it was almost the very end of the movie, and they threw in intermission and they got this classic music that was like circus music, so to speak. And everybody was in brain fart. If you were in the theaters when that happened, everybody went into brain fart. They were actually sitting there like intermission. Can we get up and use the bathroom? Can we get up and leave? And they left it out just long enough that people were starting to get up out of their seats when it came back to the movie. So it was just one of those last minute things they did. They didn't know how to end the movie is what I think happened. It was like, well, how do we close this thing out? Yeah, not only did they get the intermission, but the end of the movie used to save music. So people stuck around, thinking there was more. Oh, gosh, I'm making fun of it. I don't want to miss the end of it. That was the end of it. Oh, man. Okay, we're at the top, and then some. We need the outbound music for a little bit of a break. So Ed's working on that right now as we speak. And... I know. I know it's coming to God's left, our republic. Death is in your world, Lord of the World. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on our first day and night. And in some cases, crews pretty much are on the option to make sure you can get the job done right. So, let's educate accordingly. Let's go run! Use the bathroom, grab a cup of coffee, and we'll be back right here in a few minutes with a second-hand intel report. Run a little late, that's okay. We own the network. We'll be back. permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent.

East, Northeast, and South. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, And we're on satellite because of a massive number of people who pick us up and rebroadcast analog and digital. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States. And it is... You have a tea day when elements of the Mossad and elements of the U.S. government can make acts of government-sponsored terrorism on American soil, maximize casualties by striking either on Tuesdays or Thursdays when people typically do not call in sick or try to take an extra day off, but rather show up at work. So when the turds in government are trying to kill you, You always should watch out for those work days that really count where you really figured you've got to go into work no matter what. And Thursday is one of those days. It is the 4th of December. It is the 17th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K2025 old earth calendar 2025 Battle for the Republic Book 2, the Winter War. And it's nice outside, but the sun has disappeared. No, come back, come back. Nope, it's black out there. It is an afternoon, kind of. We're in the afternoon to evening. And remember, cold weather near. Put the junky stuff that nobody does. The ugly stuff is usually your best choice. Not junky, because if it looks cool, but it's kind of battle-worn in, people like it. They probably will grab it and think, oh, I should have that with me. Instead, let's just make sure it's stuff that works but isn't pretty. That way it will stay in the car until you need it when you don't care if you look pretty. If your butt's freezing off, your hind ends will be starting to head towards zero point. We'll prevent that by happening by having the proper gear in the vehicle and leaving it there. Mittens are great because mittens, as most people don't like, and mittens are fantastic when you've got to cover more skin. Then keep everything close, get those fingers closer together, keep the body heat there where it belongs, what little there might be left before you collapse from hypothermia. Let's prevent that from happening prior. Proper planning prevents piss, poor performance. So, last but not least on this whole idea of their defenses, that both the individual, the fire team, and the squad contribute. Let me give a couple of points here that has been a policy that has been quite successful. World War II. Most Army's policies was that a higher element or a detached element would be involved in dealing with tank defense. It was the policy of the U.S. Army throughout World War II, right from the very beginning of the use of the armor corps, that everyone participated in the defense against armor. Everyone. No matter what you had, the idea was engage and do damage. Now, what they taught everybody to do is do damage where it counts, figure out where it hurts, and make things break because that's what you're supposed to do. Now, it sounds weird, but you know, you ever watch the movie Saving Ryan's Privates? Everybody loves that movie. Oh, yeah, man, we're gonna go save Ryan's Privates so that, you know, there are gonna be kids later on. It's really important because most of the families did. So anyway, if you're paying attention, at the very end there where you see him and he's like, you know, that's kind of futile, where the officer who's already taken a hit, he's dying, is using his .45 and pop and pop. No, what he's doing is actually a good representation of what I've been trying to explain to people who are talking about is contributing to the defense. What was he shooting at? He was shooting at the tank hull thinking the .45 was going to penetrate. You think he was doing that? You think he was stupid? No, he wasn't. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was aiming for the vision blocks on the vehicle. Why? Because anything and everything to disrupt or to do damage to the vehicle is helping the people that you like, you know, the guys you're riding with. to possibly be able to defeat that target, to do some damage to it. At the very least, again, retard it, slow it down, change the environment. That way, when the other good stuff that is shoulder fired, or air cried in this case, remember the plane comes over and goes, eww, when he's firing the .45 and the Tiger blows up and it's like, eww. Well, common sense, again, in reality, it was a good representation of the concept. You never stop. and everything you've got, you put it down range. In fact, there's a basic rule. So like I said, if you're on your power base and the enemy is in your face, in your area of operation, you're on your control base, well you bought all that ammunition for a reason. If you're going to fight, hose your ass down. You can't carry it away. If you piled a whole bunch of stuff up and you've got it one place and you're ending up having to fight, They can only carry so much. You pick a target and just dump every mag you want on it. Pick another target, dump every mag, especially if you've got an O2-6, .308 heavy rifle of any kind. Again, the other thing to remember, this is something that I need to reinforce, is flamethrowers as you see them right now, just a side bar, those are gas flamethrowers. You guys want to focus on real flamethrowers. Flame throwers use what is called a high low burn. There's a reason for this. The high burn creates the high temp. The low burn is the sticky burn. If you do a formula book for flame throwers, you will find that there's all kinds of things you can use for the low burn. Now the most common for Molotov cocktails, but actually can also be used in a flame thrower, is old styrene. Now new styrene is not poly soluble, whereas old styrofoam, you could put it in gasoline and it would break down. But if you pay attention and you know what you know about this, if not, maybe you want to kind of check and see what you thought you were going to use because some people have already figured they're going to use the styrofoam. There are other styrofoams that are not petroleum soluble. They don't break down. Well, that defeats the purpose. But the whole idea is laundry soap, dish soap. Anything that has a fatty base is also more viscous. Combining that with gasoline and using that for your high-low burn, especially with a planktor. Ever used one? Kind of fun. Because you don't get a big boom. You just get this kind of, you pull the trigger and it goes whooshy kind of sound, but it's got a rumble, a growl to it. And when it hits, that's where the splashing. It sounds weird, but it's exactly what's happening because your fuel mix is proper. You don't get this bulbous cloud of flame that does not too much. Instead, napalm sticks to kids, boys. When you throw that burst out, It stacks, it packs and stays with the target area. It seeps in through things. Why am I bringing that up? Well, there's a lot of armored vehicles out there. No, you're not necessarily going to stop them, but you're going to do a whole hell of a lot of damage to them and in the process disrupt their activity. Now again, I want you to stand up in front of this, this ain't no shakin' movie. You plan on firing from cover, you also have a plan to evac from the position you're in with a, you know, bleak escape route. And preferably, remember always thinking to block yourself, you know, cover and concealment. Block your trail of retreat or moving to another location with terrain and material. Preferably terrain, because it's kind of hard to shoot through terrain. You can shoot over it, but you can't shoot through it, typically. So anyway, the idea is that everything contributes to progressive attrition. You're going to E-Trit your enemy. Aircraft can only take so many hits. Aircraft, everything on a plane is critical. On armor, everybody goes, oh, what could you do to a tank? Well, I don't know, since I know that I can't penetrate the 11 inches or 15 inches of a homogeneous armor plate or ceramic armor combined. Probably I should look for things like vision points, radio communications connections, which by the way, with the accuracy of many of our weapons now, at anywhere 400 yards or below, most everybody can put a bullet into an area about the size of a coffee cup. Which means that if we have effective penetration with the weapons that are available, and by the way, we have shoulder-fired 50 caliber guns, we have a ship load of 30 caliber, I mean, 30 out of 6, which means we have a wide selection of ammunition for those guns, We're not going to spray onto a target and just go ping ping ping for the sake of looking like we're in a movie or video game. Instead, slow down, stay focused, and we're going to start death, we're going to eat trip the equipment. The example is coaxial guns and or anti-personnel equipment that's mounted to or attached to pieces of equipment of this type. It is not as well defended as the main battle tank or the APC itself. It is armored. But it can be effectively damaged and then eventually destroyed or it can be damaged to the point where it's ineffective. Another thing to remember, barrels can be shot. You do understand that also, right? Barrels can be shot. Who's got that big? I thought you were Johnny Jack the Super Marchman. A Super Marchman doesn't mean a red dot, keeping it into a cone or an area of destruction. Effective rifle marksmanship utilizing either your iron sights or utilizing an optical device of some kind means that we can put a bullet on a target out to a specific range based upon your developed performance. It would be a real good idea if you practice your rifle marksmanship in accuracy, not volume fire. for this very reason. And again, chromatoids, robotoids, here's the thing where everybody is doing the, we're gonna be fighting robots! It's good that we need bigger, we need bigger heavier guns, not smaller tinier, but we're still gonna buy a lot of AR-15s. We need bigger heavier. Go ahead, call her, jump in there please. She'll be from Oklahoma. Mark, talk about armored attacking armor. I've seen a clip I've never seen before, but this was there in World War II. The Germans would tie two smoke grenades together with a rope with the potato masher smoke grenades and throw them and they would Entangle on the barrel. It was a tactic to blind the tank so they couldn't see So I thought that was a good I'd never seen that before so maybe other people had never seen it before but never even thought about that But that requires you getting very close also mark SecurityGuy42 over on YouTube, SecurityGuy42 on YouTube, released a video here in the last week of a tank ambush during the Chechen War. One of the tactics that the Chechens would use against an armored combat in urban settings explained this tactic. We use it on tabletop set up with the little armored vehicles and explain talked about that and Also, he did a video now. He didn't do a video. He reposted a video British British military Defense in-depth to an attack where they would have three to four positions already pre set up that they would attack the Russian armor fall back to the second position and and then have another ambush set up and then fall back to a third or fourth final position. But it was in color, done by the British military. He posted that in the last year, I believe. So you have to go back through the scroll. Over on YouTube, SecurityGuy42, SecurityGuy42. He's also on Bitchute under SecurityGuy42. So if his channel ever disappears, he's over on Bitchute under SecurityGuy42. But he has several other armored tactics videos up there along with other engineering explosive videos. He even did one, Mark, here recently in the last week and a half of old explosives, you know, out of date explosives. His personal experience dealing with dynamite or military explosives that were produced 40 to 50 years ago. and what the policy was to deal with, what to look for, and his experience, whether it worked or didn't work and stuff like that, or other stories that he personally heard himself. It was about a 45-minute video, just him talking about that, dealing with old military explosives that were, some of them were produced World War II, Mark, that he was dealing with and stuff like that. Definitely go over there to YouTube and check it out securityguy42 on YouTube. That's all I'm or can't get a question. Thank you. Appreciate that. No, no, excellent. Again, security guy, I highly recommend his videos very, very much. If you have time, if you don't have time to train with somebody or I don't have somebody to train with, I don't care. This is an example. His page is an excellent example of a source. For information where you can just sit down and it is your classroom. Go ahead jump in there One more thing I just thought about meant to tell you the last time he does listen to the show occasionally I don't think he listens all the time, but he has made a mention of your show on Some live streams where several guys of them talking about different events and stuff, but he has brought up your show And mentioned it so he does listen occasionally, so I'm just bringing that up to you very good I appreciate that. The big thing here again, several of the subjects here, we're overlapping with several here, but they're all critical. The defense in depth, the concept of a built defense in depth. Guys, every chance that you can, we did this, we started doing this actually in the 80s, but in the 90s, if I was at a location and we had a day or two where we were training or whatever, we automatically would build fixed, well-defend, well-integrated, but also well-camouflaged fighting positions that were full defense capable. Overhead cover for up to 81 millimeter, well, light or medium mortar. Overhead cover, fully camouflaged, terrain concealed, complete full defense so that in the event the position is isolated, it can handle its rear, not just the forward area of control. And the whole idea behind this is that these became part of the terrain. If you're building on property or you've got a retreat, and you've got, especially since a lot of people are now taking advantage of these relatively inexpensive backhoes slash bucket machines that are out there, almost everybody I know now has one. And they're medium build, but they do just fine for combat engineer work in advance. Set up lines and berms on your property. Plant them, make them look, make them difficult, if not impossible, to identify. A role in the terrain cannot easily be seen, especially with any kind of pine or any of the different types of all-green, all-season plantings that you can do. Another thing that I really love to develop is thunderberries or blackberries, any of those which have what is virtually natural barbed wire. And that integrated into the area. There's areas I physically can't move through. And I didn't have to do anything other than put the plants in a perfect environment with lots of water, sunny side of the yard, sunny side of a field or a hill. And I don't have to do anything. And what's really interesting, fantastic, is the level of the density of the organic developed defense. And all of this is so that, again, it's not a big deal. It's good practice. It's training. It's training while developing. And that's something everybody needs to take into consideration. In the defense in depth, the most important thing is again to be flexible. The other thing to remember is don't assume that again you've been defeated. Let me point something out I noticed that I'm seeing a whole bunch of bullshit. It's terrible with the internet. It's terrible with YouTube. But AI is really worthless. However, I'm going to point out something. I've used this as a reference many times over the years. Wake Island, the defense of Wake Island. Talk about like, my god, this is like a death dance. How are you going to get out of this? You need to read the book by the commander who actually was in charge of Wake Island, the book that was actually done not long after World War II, which is never referenced by anybody. Now, why am I bringing that up? Well, he was kind of just defeated from the get-go. No, he wasn't. And in fact, even what they're doing now with the way they're lying or altering the reporting on what they did, one of the most important things that happened is once attacked, I mean, first of all, they knew that they could be overwhelmed. They're an island defense situation. They're an island flatter and a pancake. They had a ton of civilian workers to use that were on site. They didn't get them off fast enough before the war kicked in. And of course Pearl Harbor happened to ad hoc, boom, all of a sudden. But one of the things that happened at the end when the island fell is that he realized the island hadn't fallen. I know we just had a ding there over my voice, so let me point this out again. He realized after he surrendered that the island had not fallen. The country was all over the theater, they were isolated, they couldn't give up. No, they didn't have to give up. And in fact, when initially there was a call for a ceasefire word, his command, his element of the island, chose to negotiate. He had lost contact with all of his different stations, fighting stations, his shore batteries, air defense guns, and individual fighting units because of the landline breaks, because the field telephones and couriers had a difficult time moving for obvious reasons. People were trying to kill him. But then he did a walkthrough around the island to convince everybody to lay down arms. And in his own book he admitted that he could have thrown the Japanese off the island. That he'd had sufficient force and his men were in far better standing than he realized. Now this is like a lot of the crap coming out of World War II that they're trying to either sugarcoat or alter so that you don't have the first person history. The more you get from a situation, the more this happens. We've talked about this for a very long time. But in reality, had he greater confidence in his people, or at least in them following through without communications, and they had followed through in what they had established as their areas of control defense, literally, they would have thrown, the Japanese would have either literally had to surrender if they continued to fight to the level that they had. The Japanese committed all they had and it wasn't really enough when they invaded Wake. Had they fought on, the Japanese would either have had to have debarked the island or could have been into a reverse situation where they would have been the captain, been in captive instead of captors. And he admitted this in his book. As he walked around, he realized more and more of his combat units, his formations, his small units, were completely intact. I'll bet they'd been damaged. In one or two cases, they'd been overrun. In other words, the units were dead. There wasn't anybody to talk to. They were gone. But they were talking squads, fire teams, platoons, gun batteries, things of that nature. See, this is one of the problems with We're lying upon the technology as opposed to deciding that well if you really are going to fight to the last bullet we fight to the last bullet Now why did I bring that up? Hezbollah has kicked the shit out of the Israelis twice Why? And also how now I want anybody want to comment on this and exactly I want you to think about why do you how is it? Hezbollah, and I don't care if you like them or not you can kiss my arse The bottom line, I'd rather have a man like the men they've got standing next to me than a lot of the piss-willy characters that you see in our system right now. Because there was, if you were to look at the numbers, because everybody loves, numbers are part of playing the mental propaganda against you to, if you will resist, you'll be absorbed, you're all gonna die. Hezbollah has no Air Force. Hezbollah has no Navy. They have no strategic bombers, they have no medium bombers, they have no tactical aircraft, they have no helicopters, they have no reconnaissance aircraft, they have no satellite technology, they have no tank force, they have no APC force, they have a minimal amount of heavier, in fact there's two categories where they have, you know, again, they have their minimal, at least men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, men, Uh, T-E-Y-Z. Oh, I see. Mark, if you can still hear me? You said missile batteries and you started breaking up. Uh, thanks. I'm better now. D-R-E-Z. Just don't let your ass fast forward. Uh, okay. Just gotta say what? Uh, okay. Okay. Okay. I can't hear you, Dad. I'm gonna play something you call back in. Yep. No, he's not. Casting system. I went to the first thing and that's like the entire broadcast of War of the Worlds. Still loaded in the playlist. That's not what we want. Carpópez! What? Oh, there we go. How do we... Does that sound better? Yeah, I actually... Yeah, of course, because we've probably set to another line that they'll have to catch up on before they screw with it. If I need to, I'll go to satellite. I've done that a couple times this month already and I'll do it again. I'll switch right off this whole system and say I'm the one at Bago to it. Anyway, now I can carry on. My point is, Hezbollah. They have nothing except for light infantry or medium infantry forces with support equipment directly in the hands of each of the soldiers, just like I was talking about earlier with our idea of air defense. The first time around here several years back, which they want everybody to forget about, you're all supposed to forget about this, you need to forget about this, is the US giving anything and everything to the schmucks, to the Israelis that they want, and we have, they had to invade Lebanon. Now, other than the fact that they killed Christian, failing militia, the Israelis did, they killed their allies to get through those allies to fight Hezbollah. So the only casualties really were produced were the people who thought foolishly that they were allies of the Jew and who found out that when push comes to shove the Jew will kill the Christian every time, which they did. And the Falange militia is basically has all has had Christian all hand-me-downs from the Israelis. Well, they rolled through the they rolled through the Falange militia who were pointed not towards the Israelis but pointed towards Hezbollah. Think about that. So the first ones that got killed were the Christians. Now, when they got to Hezbollah, you basically set up what I've tried to explain many times is a checkerboard defense. It is the actual defense that the French came up with in World War II in the early stages of World War II when they finally figured out how they needed to defend against the Blitzkrieg. The problem was in the French conflict, in the beginning of World War II, is that by the time they figured out they didn't have the equipment to properly mount the defense to make it work, so they were overrun. They were pushed back to Dunkirk with everybody else or they were shoved sideways. With the Hezbollah defense grid, each unit could carry and use any weapon they could get their hands on. Every type of anti-tank weapon shoulder-fired or man-operated was in service from World War II, 2.35 inch bazookas, 3.5 inch bazookas of all nationalities because America copied the German, but Pakistan and many other countries were making them for years. They had laws rockets, RPG-2s, RPG-7s, every kind of throwaway anti-tank weapon that they could dig up from any render revolution company and sell it to them. But that's all they had. They had some mortars, some. But what they had was an order. Each unit, platoon size, was given a square, a piece of real estate. And that piece of real estate was their area of control. Fight and die there. No matter what happens, don't worry about what happens to the checkerboard square. You know, we're saying it's just like a checkerboard. The black areas is where the troops were. The red areas on the checkerboard are kill zones for everybody. Left, right, up, forward, back. Now what happened is when the Israelis attacked, each unit held their ground and no retreat was the policy. What is amazing is the Israelis achieved none of their objectives in that offensive. They had total air supremacy. They had anything the US had given in the way of spy operations from above. We're absolute whores and licking the bumhole of the Israelis to the point where our tongue is coming out Israel's ear. Okay, that's how deeply you look there, honey Dan. So with that being the case, they had every bell, whistle, and piles of materials and resource. They got stopped, buck, cold. Why? There's only one thing that stopped them. Yeah, there were small arms going down range and there was all kinds of other great tools in the toolbox, but they were all small, local, and mostly what you would call, or what your enemies would call, obsolete weapons against everything that was state of the art. and the Hezbollah units held their ground and won. Do you see it that way? Yes, because that's what happened. And you're not supposed to hear that because it's feudal resist, you'll be absorbed, you're all gonna die, we're all doomed. Oh, Weezer, Weiner, Stanley Weiner, Weinerbaum, okay, that kind of crap. Now, here's the thing, no retreat. Why did I bring up Wake Island and all of a sudden bring this up? Same concept, imagine. The Marines had always talked about Weefoyked to the last bullet. Here's the thing, the Marines at Wake Island and the commander realizing later that his equipment was pretty much intact. He still had ammunition to fight with. He still had troops to fight with. They actually were in good standing, but they had lost confidence in their ability to project their strength. They had lost communication counting too heavily upon direct personal communication. Rather than taking advantage of individual unit command initiatives, with Hezbollah, the small unit commander is king of his fortress. Each man expects the boss to die and for him to take over, or for Bob to die and for me to take over for Bob. But we're not leaving this piece of real estate. We're going to hold it. We're going to fight the enemy with everything we got. We're going to be as treacherous, as wicked, as conniving, and as effective as possible. Hezbollah won. Hezbollah won. And they didn't have any tanks, and they didn't have any artillery, and they didn't have an air force, and they didn't even have hardly anything for air defense. And they won. So what is it that they had? Intelligence? Intestinal fortitude. That's why they avoid talking about this, people. That's why they can't have it. Because all of a sudden you have to stop and think, well, how did they make it happen? I'm explaining part of it. Number one is everybody understood we're going to fight no matter what. Bob's position may be overrun, but Dan's position is completely intact, and Dan is putting rounds down range as needed. He's not just spraying and praying. It's calculated warfare, calculated destruction. With everything within my area of control developed to the best of my ability, I don't have any time to sit around and pick my nose or stick my thumb up my arse and giggle myself worrying about what's going to be coming. Every moment before the contact with the enemy is preparation to fight. Digging more defensive positions, adding more crap to the front of my position, fortifying, digging down, reinforcing, moving munitions, deploying munitions so that as I fall back, I fall back on my supply and I continue to consume and use it effectively. That's what they did. and the Israelis did not meet even one of the tactical elements of their strategic plan for the invasion of Lebanon. They did not even achieve the first benchmark goal for advancement. They killed a whole shitload of their allies, the Christian Philanch militia, who weren't shooting at them. Duh. And they didn't apologize for that. That's what the Jews are good for. Christians, you're all dead meat as far as they're concerned. They are totally expendable. Any fool who thinks that somehow I'll go deal with them, you're an idiot. You're an absolute idiot. But there again, that's neither here nor there. It's now in the past. The dead cannot be resurrected in that situation, sir. So the fact is, it's motivation. You've got to get, guys, first individually, then understanding that you are working with a group of people and by God, that is such a difference. When you shut off all of the naysayers and you're working with people with a can-do attitude and you all take that can-do attitude and you motivate it, there's nothing you can't do. There isn't anything you can't achieve. But it means you've got to get motivated and it has to be personal motivation first. Well, I've said this a million times. There's an old song which we could play here. We won't, but... One hundred men have tested today, but only three earned the greenberry. I'm doing a tweaky version of that song. But what they were saying is there's a hundred men that were tested. Those hundred men were probably more than to a degree qualified. But the process of testing and evaluation, the three top individuals were chosen and selected to move on through the process of additional education and development. Okay? Which again, what's the number one, what are they looking for in an individual? They're not looking for, they're going to have to be rocket scientists per se, although these men are smart. They've contracted the bullshit with the propaganda with all the leftists. Now military people actually do have brains, duh. But what's interesting is again what it was is as Mike just said determination motivation persevering following true guys when I served There was no cookie cuz there was no well, I don't know what it's like now I don't really care, but there was no cookie cutter size to a special forces member It came in all shapes and sizes But the one thing that was consistent was the attitude between the ears with regard to motivation You didn't have to look like Johnny Jet Jock, you didn't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but you know what, kick ass, take names, get the job done, but they did it because they were highly motivated. Don't forget, they also had to have a bit of an educational background. Most everybody had to have two languages, for instance. How many Americans carry between their ears three languages? Because you have to know English, but you were supposed to also have some command of two other languages. romantic, Slavic, Chinese, Asian, didn't make a difference. But preferably it needed to be conflicting so that if you move from one area to another, we'd have somebody with a language-based bill communicate with the natives. I'd say that requires a little bit of an IQ, don't you? But it was motivation. It was attitude. It was determination. It was energy being energized. See that's the part that we need to remember here We're fighting for a cause we are on the moral high ground. We're gonna protect our freedom I don't care about all these other foreign assets and think they're gonna do what they're gonna do We're gonna find their ass put a bandit in their ass put a bullet through their hind end or do whatever is this necessary scouring from our country They're they're looking for somebody that won't quit That's why one of the first things after you make it out of basic before you go to spec forces cue course is that they airborne school where they're going to teach you to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Exactly. They want to find people that are going man I could do. That's the last thing on my list of things to do. Yes but it's the first thing you got to do to qualify for the missions on. Qualify for the task, not the mission just for the task. Well and here again guys we Why am I bringing all these points up? Well because they're part of what you're going to have to be absorbing in a crash course right now if you're not up to speed. And it doesn't mean that we don't have, we don't know how much time we have. But right now everybody's more so than ever before with the charade that was played with the fake MAGA thing. And it was fake, it's all fake across the board. I warned everybody about that. Like I said, when your fight song is YMCA, don't tell me you're in the fight. That just tells me you're playing the rubes. You know what I mean? I can think of somebody that got awful fantastic pieces of music for a fight song, but the last thing you're going to tell me has anything to do with fighting, everything to do with homosexuality is YMCA. Okay? That's all there is to it. So now here we are. Now YMCA what a fight song YMCA bend over backwards YMCA like a poof stuff. Oh god. So anyway, go ahead call the trip in there. Yeah, this is Mike Arizona. I the some stuff here and I see we're only got just a couple of minutes left maybe I'll go in here on the last hour But in the first hour, you were talking about drones. Now, obviously, you're speaking of like a small drone that could follow you into a doorway and into a house and stuff. And you put up the defenses, the chicken wire to intercept it as it's coming down the hallway. But the other day, I was poking around. And I found one article. And there was a hyperlink that led me to the other article. And you know how that goes. pretty soon you're like five steps later. I found a predator drone and it's called a Mojave, M-O-J, and it appears that maybe they've been perfected since about 2023, 2022, and they've upgraded the landing gear on it and made the wings wider. The initial versions of the Predator were kind of tapered and fairly small. The first ones, the ISR ones, didn't really carry any external loads. Then they had some that could carry like two Hellfire missiles. But there's a new one, this Mojave, and there's a couple of other ones. This one was designed to take off in very short distances. The takeoff distance for the ISR version is only 400 feet. There's a takeoff distance for the upgraded, a head carrying heavier munitions, and it can carry 12 Hellfire missions, and it needs a thousand feet. The maximum endurance is over 25 hours. The altitude is 25,000 feet. And it can also, depending on how you load it, it can carry 16 Hellfire missiles. And there's also another deal where they can put pods underneath it. They can have a signet. pod underneath it. And then they call also a contested logistic pod capable of carrying 500 pounds of cargo on each wing to support your land and maritime missions. So this isn't your daddy's predator drone. The wings are kind of shorter and stubbier. They're not all that long, slender-type wing, but they're longer from front to back, and they can carry, like I say, up to, what, 16 Hellfire missiles. So the olden days where it would carry none or maybe two, and they were reluctant to fire those because of a target of opportunity. Those things are... Good, it's nothing really new, Mike, but those are not the majority of what we've seen them use in the battlefield. Are those more assassin? No, no, I'm just saying, those are more assassin drones. Those are used like Obama did do strikes in Syria and where's the other one? They did the unmanned drone launch. Now they can send more in. But for dealing with trips like in the Ukraine, what we see are the smaller drones. That's the most used in the battlefield are the smaller drones and those are ones that Dad was talking about. Right. Well, hold on. One of the things real quick about the drone we're talking about, which is the upper end of the spectrum, is again, it's an air defense. It would be the middle or intermediate or higher air defense element that would be dealing with it. And one of the only good things I would say is what's the cost of the Hellfire right now? 100K. So if I can hit one carrying 16 or 18, it costs the enemy a lot more in the way of ordnance than if I were a kid at drone that can only carry two. I mean immediately when you said that, my first thought was, damn, a good tag on that takes out a whole lot of ponies all at once. That's kind of a cool target. I actually would prefer my idiot enemy who would be stupid enough to do that. I mean, yep. Go ahead. Jim, keep going. I was going to say the Anwar Alaki, that was one of the drone strikes that I think Edward was describing. In Afghanistan, the guy's last name was Chapman. And when they went up there with Razor Six and they got hit and then it lurched and they saw that they were hit and then a helicopter pilot pulled forward. But the whole hydraulic fluid, when they lurched forward, he fell out the back and he was right up there. He went to all the places. And then I think you can pick up part of that out of the, but not a good day to die. So he retreated into a bunker there. No, I was talking about the wedding strike. I was talking about the wedding strike, where they hit the whole caravan? Well, anyway, after they realized was missing and falling out of the back on the slick deck that they found a bunker up there and he was fairly well defended himself but these people had already embedded themselves up at the bridge. They really didn't have any way to attack the people that were there and then somebody came over to the radio and happened to be a central intelligence agency predator drone that had two hellfire missiles on it and they fired one and took out a bunch of people but eventually he was killed in the deal. So I understand the deal about drones and drone swarms. My nephew joined the military early after 2001 and that's what he did in drones, not predators but the next smaller one out of Iraq and he talked in 20 years about that. how what was coming forward. It was about the drone swarms. But it was interesting to me about this drone because we've heard about the Predator and its capabilities that this and it's not one of these little handheld ones. But this one up, it's circling around at 25,000 feet. It's got some serious, serious firepower. So just as a heads up, it's not like the old ones as to where it had none or maybe two hell fires. This has got a whole suite of them. And it can also land and unload a thousand pounds of equipment to people on the ground, whether it's ammunition, food, water, or anything like that. But I just was giving you a heads up of that capability that is there now. Right. It's part of the integrated, overlapping drone fleet that's out there. But we, again, for the individual, The first concern is close air defense. The next tier up, and it's something also that I've been talking about for a while here, what I see missing from the discussion, and it's not accidental, is the traditional air defense policy that was integrated through the whole of the military when we were in. And even up until, well, not too long ago, but the idea is that the technology that is being fielded is different, only in that it's a different airframe concept, it's a different type of aircraft. But air defense policy and the application of the tools that we would normally use in this situation, they haven't changed at all. In other words, at the personal level, the only thing that the individual can deal with is the technology that's within his reach. In other words, the stuff that's going to be in his face. At the next tier, the attached elements of air defense, both intermediate, medium grade, and higher end would be no different than dealing with any other aircraft threat in the environment. It's just that now somebody with a joystick is going to be farther back behind. But the hardware and the destruction of the hardware and its policies to do so hasn't changed at all or shouldn't. And I see that as a big hole that's missing. You know, for even regular military right now. There is a... Go ahead. Go ahead. Real quick. We're almost there. So I was going to say there was an article on war on the rocks that's talking about this little force like the FARC that they've never spent in 1995. on outside but we can still get something done so out I go for a little bit and we'll be back in one hour with the evening intel report but meanwhile it taking over more LTR coming up and we're gonna talk a little bit about real quick don't let me forget SKS a couple things that popped up here that I want to point out to everybody it's really cool stuff actually anyway we'll be back one hour evening intel report god bless away place. The machines are running all night, where the weavers and cutters test each stitch to see that they're woven in tight. Each strand and each thread is tested in true, while the knots are woven by hand. And on each rope, there will be a name of one who has betrayed his land. Our leaders have forgotten the oath that they took when they swore to protect and preserve. Our freedom and rights and religion too, in whatever church we serve. They lined all their pockets and deceived the people, and most went along with the flow. But tempers are short, and the memories are long. Each name the people will know. When each rope is finished, it's tested for strength, and packed in a bag with a hood. And upon the bag is the name of a traitor, who did his country no good. Someday we will hear that Nuremberg plea when the hour is drawing near. I was only doing what I was told, another lie, my fear. And for those of you who don't believe, be around when the party begins. What next will be stretched and cries will be heard and the traitors will sway. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seasonally farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail Your public servants don't uphold the solemn holds. They've sworn And your daughters visit doctors so their children leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom bright as Iowa key vanished in the midst of whence he came. His words were true, yet free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the third hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Carnegie. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, north, east, southwest, and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we're on the satellite. I want to say hi to all of our operators out there. No matter what body of water you're resting upon right now. I'd remind you that we appreciate what you're doing and the fact that you're doing it when other people, well, just don't know how. And we're teaching everybody though, we're working on that. A lot of people are being educated. Anyway, at the analog and digital for satellite, we're in a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States. And it is Thursday. No way, yes way. It's Thursday. It has been Thursday all day clear all through the day. Well, it's clear out there tonight. And with it, with the temperature, with the thermometer, down to the basement it goes. But we have a big super moon, big moon out there right now. You do not need illumination. We've got a slight snow cover across the whole of the terrain. It's like daylight outside. I mean, you don't need night vision. Shut your batteries down. Shut everything off. Just save your equipment. Because it's more than easy easily enough viewed no matter what it is out there movement actually could see one of the individual deer we have Running around in the side yard. She passes through along with a couple of her. I think it I don't think it's twins, but two different young ones and Yeah, if I were interested in harvesting, I don't need to do anything other than just use my eyeballs right now so It is the 4th of December. It is the 17th year of open, obvious, and pissing in your face, Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K. 2025, older calendar. Well, I'm a gym. I'm a doctor. Not a brick man. 2025, Battle for the Republic. Book. The winter war cold out there campers. Yes, it is. It's cold out there. Make sure you got your long johns on too and bottoms anyway, we were talking about air defense but also integrated development of the both the individual the fire team in the squad in the two-hour block and I want to make sure again to reinforce that in each tier We have additional or supplemental technologies that have to be applied in order for effective air defense umbrellas to be established. And this requires developmental processes, you know, developing expertise at the individual level first. So study, study, study, and then study some more. There's plenty out there in research you can do. First and foremost is we're dealing with personal threat defense. Second, is then moving into what our team threat operational pieces of equipment and the intermediate size drone technology, or for that matter, conventional manned aircraft apply. And then there is the higher end or higher tech technology, be it drone or fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft that we have to integrate as part of the threat element, we have to develop again the skills to be able to engage. We also have to understand and be able to perfect and integrate the technology that's needed to do so. And there are a number of solutions, but there's a lot of stuff that's out of the box that right now you should be doing research on and you should develop your background and understanding how it works. Air defense is a series of layers of throwing junk. That's the actual term from the air defense school. It's called throwing junk. Why? Well, it doesn't make any difference if it's manned or unmanned. It doesn't make any difference if it's rotary wing or if it's turboprop or if it's jet. Whatever system it is trying to stay in the air, it typically has to beat the air into submission or float upon the available energy with one form of foil or another. Everything on an aircraft, I don't care if it's a drone or a manned piece of equipment, is critical to the machine. Damaging in any way, shape or form, components that are critical to the machine. They wouldn't be there if they didn't have a purpose. Well, is you can about to progressively with attrition with again cumulative damage effort. It gives you the ability to knock the thing out of the sky. Now, some things are faster than others, and some technology we have to avoid if at all possible. Simply we're going to be having to suck and jive, duck and cover, so to speak, rather than standing out there with the 45 and blazing away at the Tiger tank. That wasn't the implication of what I was saying. It's the idea that everything when you're putting junk in the air contributes to damage, no matter what the threat is. And we have to change attitude so that we can effectively change philosophy. Attitude is everything. And our mission? Hunt the bastards down. Ideally, we'll hunt the drone operators down, and they would die horrible, terrible, terrible, horrible deaths. In fact, it would be a select priority, wouldn't they? Wouldn't you make them a select priority for destruction? That would be a sensible thing to do, wouldn't it? I would think so. So any, oh my goodness, hey, well we just had a big hiccup in the technology. Not on the alternate side but on the other side. Up here, this is my end of the business. So, hmm, that was a hiccup we didn't expect. And I guess we're going to throw the backups up. I'm going to put backups on standby just in case here's matter of fact. Only because, there we go. In fact, I think I'm going to sign off on something just to save and protect my equipment. There, don't know what's going on. It could be a power issue. It's not that cold, so it's not a special freezer or anything. It has to be something else throughout the system somewhere here in the state. Anyway, again, before I go any farther, I want to touch on something. I said, hey, remind me about the SKS. I've had a bunch of people asking, and I guess we need to reinforce this because it's been a little while. But if you have an SKS and you want to scope mount the system, there's a couple different ways you can do it. Number one is B-Square has been around for a very long time. They're still out there. I think Natchez shooting sports at least, and I believe also Gun Parts Corp have some of the different models of the B-square non-tapping scope mount systems. But you're going to have to look to see what they have available. Now, Natchez, I think, has a wider selection because they actually have whatever it is. It's whoever's making the latest variants on B-square scope mounts. But one of the other solutions, and the FKS was the one that everybody's been asking about. Well, this one's stamped. Oh, wow. I can't read it. Sorry. I should have. Wow. Learn things every day. This is interesting. This is probably one from the Ridge. Anyway, one of the solutions, if you've got an SCAS and you want to kind of dress her up a little bit, give her, again, a stable piece of optic platform, are the very well machined and tooled replacement dust covers for the SCAS. We haven't talked about this in a while. If you've had SCASs, most people go, well, yeah, Mark, they've been around since the 80s. They have, actually. The Chinese were bringing them in almost as quickly as they did. There were a couple of American companies that started making them inside the US, better quality steel. But they are basically, all it is is an actual replacement for the dust cover, for the SKS. You take the dust cover off, you can see the rest of the system sits the way it normally does. You have to pull the pin, remember, to the back. And what this does is it nests, now there's two types. One uses the traditional two-point contact for conventional scope rings, but the platform that makes that possible can be replaced with picatinny rails or whatever you want to do. They are reasonably priced, it used to be $5.75 a piece. Yeah, used to, would it be kind of, we don't find that anymore. You will maybe find them used at gun shows. And there are people who are still marketing and selling the new versions of these, which again, these are all very well machined pieces of material. I never did find out if this was a forging that they then milled, or if it's a two point fabrication, but, or again, they just used a built piece of steel and milled out the stuff they didn't want. These are very well built. They're very robust. They're heavier. They do take a lot of abuse and they offer you the opportunity to more efficiently mount, for instance, if you want to put night vision on that SKS, if you want to set it up with some more, you know, something in the way of a nicer optic or if you want to put thermal on it, then this is still the best solution. Now, I would point out that there are two screws. There's a bridge. There's a bridge front and rear that's about four fingers. about four inches apart separate from one bridge to the other that goes over the top of the scope mount or over the top of the dust cover. Forgive me. There are two screws. You can undo those screws, take the rail off, and if you don't have a Picatinny rail readily available, you can go to CDNN Sports, you can go to Gun Parts Corp, you can go to any number of locations. I think AIM Surplus, Apex, Gun Parts, Everybody has collections of replacement picatinny rails. CDNN actually has a package deal where I think they have like six or eight different lengths of rails. Now if they aren't tapped or if they aren't drilled to the proper distance from one screw to the next on this frame, it would not be a big deal to bore a hole where it needs to be or a set of holes and make it work. So, if you find the original configured unit, it's not a big deal to disassemble and reassemble with a replacement rail. In fact, the rail could be longer, which is, you know, to put parts, if you have like, for instance, a conventional scope and you're going to put the thermal or night vision unit behind it or depending on the system you're thinking about using. Yes, you could put a longer rail to accommodate that on this device because the top rail is totally detachable. So again, if you haven't thought about this, they're made for the SKS. I'll tell you who, see of all the places, the place I just mentioned, CDNN Sports, It was one of the companies that bought up a lot of other companies years ago, way back, and created kind of a consortium. I still have one of their first original catalogs, and these were in there. But the original manufacturer was a totally different company. They changed the name, or they just made them no name. This one, I cannot make it out. It's in italic. As far as the stamp for the manufacturer, and we're talking tiny. I mean tiny, tiny. They saved money on the stamps, that's for sure. But I'll have to pull out a magnifying glass. I'm serious. But it is definitely a three-point stamping with a company name or name and an actual state of manufacture. But we're talking micro. So anyway, these are a solution with thermal or night vision. These are fantastic. I've mentioned before a lot of guys like to make what is basically a baby Dregunov. What they'll do is leave the original magazine where it is, but taking one of the Zytil Skeletize nylon stocks that has that SVD look to it, you can pick up a four inch basket flash hider that will attach to the end of the SKS utilizing the existing frame so you don't have to tap or do anything special there. You take one of these, put it on the roof for your scope mount, you're done. Now, here's another thing about this particular one. In fact, some of you are going to be receiving these as gifts. Somebody already have them. You could take that tri-rail system. mounted on the existing rail that's on these covers and it would be perfect to allow for also again a laser light if that's what you choose to do. Of course a lot of people want to put the lights forward underneath the muzzle so that they're you know not doing anything to illuminate the rest of the weapon. But there's all kinds of add-on brackets for that so you can actually make a pretty nice little you know counter rifleman kit Or, again, 20 inch barrel SKS with a flash hider, night vision, thermal, whatever you choose to do. But as a placement shooter with a decent 9 power scope on the roof, most of them that I've built, I've put the CHI-COM 5 power scope on, works fine. Variations on that scope are out there, CDNN Sports has them in stock, so that is a place to go for a lot of the knick-knacks if you wanted to address a certain weapon up. Now, as a sidebar, somebody immediately said, well, their SKS is a really crazy price right now. You're absolutely right. Most of them are. Over at CenterFireSystems.com, they have had a few SKS's dropped down to about $300 or $350 apiece. These are Yugoslavian, the 66, what is it, 58 or 59, 66's. I think it's 58, 66. Let me get the microphone if I'm off. But they're reasonably priced, they're in serviceable condition, and that would be a good go-to gun if you wanted to experiment a little bit with what I was talking about. Now the stocks are out there, but they're not out there like they used to be because the $56 SKS's aren't out there like you can still find the Zytel stocks. The one I'm talking about has the scotized rear. And with the pistol grip, it looks very much SVD-ish. It looks like it really has that drag-and-ab look to it. And it's actually a very comfortable stock. It comes with three different butt pad cap ends so you could actually extend the length of the stock if you needed to be longer. Not all of them, but at least two of the models out there do if they're still in circulation, if they have them in stock. So again, S-CAS lovers, I am an S-CAS lover. I would be carrying an S-CAS or you'll see me in a number of different weapons, but I have many, many, many, many, many, many, many S-CASs because when they were $56 apiece, when I was telling everybody to buy them, I wasn't sitting in my hands. So it doesn't cost me $600. In fact, you can put that little fake SVD knockoff looking rifle together back in the day for less than $100. The stock was the most expensive second item. The scopes cost nothing. The mounts cost nothing. The flash hider was almost nothing. Under $5 for each item. And then your optics, well even with the Chinese 5 power optics, they were only $6 a piece back in the day when the Chinese didn't know what value of things were and didn't know what the value of their money was. Just a good era, a good window. So anyway, enough on that. SKS, love it, don't leave it, keep building. If it all fails, at least make sure you've got them squared away with lots and lots of ammo and pick up more 10 round stripper clips. Those you can use, those you need. If you're not, you can go to the Attachable magazine. If you want, and by the way, I had somebody just ask about, was it Centerfire that had the buy one, get one deal? Yes, but I checked before I came up on the air, and that deal is gone as far as I can see. But if you caught that when I mentioned it, that was a hell of a deal. They had AR-15 762x39 mags for $5 apiece. Korean, brand new, and they had AK mags for the same and SKS, duckbill, 40 round mags for $7 a piece. We just buy one, get one free. So anyway, pretty cool stuff. Next, also, well we can kind of pick up where we left off at almost the bottom of the hour. We'll do a few songs for the music break, but not yet. My point in the 2-hour block, and most importantly here, I will re-emphasize again, the individual has to develop his or her skills first. The next step, especially because we're not on our own, we're not alone in the battlefield. The enemy will try to isolate you, but it is the team working together, the fire team and the squad, which are the most critical and still foundational building blocks for any fighting force, don't care what it is you think you're gonna put together or how you're gonna organize it. The fire team and the squad need to be a full combined arms team mechanism and they need to be training in advance for this. Let me give you an example of a few things. Number one, no we don't have belt fed weapons, but we can designate an automatic rifleman even if we don't have automatic fire. The purpose behind this is that that person is given a particular task within the mission statement, or in other words, the job requirements for a squad automatic rifleman. Grenadiers are the same way. We don't have bloopers. Well, there are a lot out there. I'm going to tell you a lot more than most of everybody realizes. See how many M203s came back from Vietnam? How many M79s came back from Vietnam? I mean the numbers are uncounted. It's crazy. But not crazy. It's cool. Okay? But the fact is that we can still have a Grenadier operating. There are 37 millimeter flare launching units that duplicate the M203. A lot of units use them. We even have some. Only because again, they are a good way to orient the operator to proper carry, muscle memory, and procedure with the weapon because the weapon is bulky. But Grenadier's weapons can be designated, for instance, a rifle grenade spigot launcher off of a carbine M1 Garand or M14. gives the same capability to the operator so the individual is actually performing the mission as expected using a rifle grenade launcher instead of say a 40 millimeter grenade launcher. Air defense, which was my emphasis in the tour block, is the responsibility of everyone. However, it would be best that we had better tools in the toolbox. Now, once we get into the larger drone threat, It doesn't mean, well, my shotgun won't reach! Well, that's because I'm carrying that light rifle for the next mission. And another thing about this is that with detection technology, both with audio collection, and I think that's something that everybody is, they're not wanting to talk about. Most of you have pretty good hearing. Any drone or aircraft activity is identifiable by the individual. In many cases, like the old days when we were running helicopters, you could feel the thud of a Huey in your chest or at least in your body before you could actually hear it. How many remember that? You could actually feel the... well, it was the... it was again, especially when there are multiple aircraft in here. And this is something that with drones... or even if it's... it doesn't make any difference. The audio... the audio end of the signature of the threat can be collected at greater distances. Before we had radar, we had coastal air defense. Do you know how we performed the coastal air defense observation? It was a combination of LPs, OPs. Wait a minute. Well, O is observation, but what's L? Listening posts. Now, quadraphones or again collection horns were built by Edison years before World War II. In fact, World War I and before Edison was into collecting sound. both Alexander Graham Bell and Edison did a great deal of research in sound collection. And interestingly enough, you may have seen it, you may not have, it's kind of out of everybody's sphere, and there's a reason for that. They don't want anybody to think about these things. But for the military, they adopted an Edison collection system that initially just involved an operator sitting at the end of what was like a massive, looked like a cornucopia horn, but it was in right angles. It wasn't round. And the idea behind this is that it could efficiently collect while masking out other secondary sounds, and the operator could listen in simply with a set of headphones. The next step, though, was microphone pickup so that the electronic sensitivity of the microphone could be added to the collection potential. Now, guys, what that means is you point this thing in one direction. You could hear an aircraft 30, 40, 50 miles out before you could physically see it. Now, imagine taking that simple idea, oh Mark, we've got electronic that does that. That's my whole point. We already do have that, don't we? In the modern battlefield situation, utilizing a combination of electronic frequency monitoring and audio monitoring, we have the ability to identify the probability of a threat far in advance of the presentment of the threat. Good enough that we just have spotters whose job it is to be away from the team forward and left and right. We used to call them flankers, point man and tail man. And their job was to be the sensory ears, the eyes and ears of the team. And they would be out front and outside the general area of the formation. Anybody remember that? Used to have outriders. But not many people studied the many diversified formations that were established by the US infantry for infantry operations. There was not simply one standard formation. And everybody was taught the technique for using each of the different formations for travel or activity under certain conditions. Well, again, this is all part of what everyone needs to be thinking about now. This is why I've reminded you of picking up, for instance, tape recorders. It's not necessarily because the recording unit is critical, but that little pickup mic is awfully handy because it will allow you to build a whole lot of other interesting tools. like wolf ears or again collection horns for the very methods that we're talking about. But you need the tools in the toolbox. See, we can cannibalize off a piece of electronic machinery, but we need the thing that you can cannibalize off from. You're not just going to pull that randomly out of your arse. We need to be building up this technology now. And in fact, all of it can be done off the shelf. If you go to YouTube, you have many different little creative things you can find where somebody's already figured the widget out, so to speak, where the widget's already there and available. Try to plant seeds, but it won't try to help you to understand that this is just for the small unit or for the platoon strength formation. And it is multiplied times however many elements of militia you have motivated. to develop their skills to the degree necessary to be an effective fighting force. It's all stuff that's off the shelf. There's nothing that is really quote unquote rocket science. In fact, all the stuff we're talking about, the technology, I've told you many times, the offensive technology can be incredibly expensive. But typically the defense procedure to eliminate it or nullify its value is far less expensive. Always. countermeasure and or solutions for defense against is typically much much cheaper than the cost of the offensive device that is being implemented and has been issued. So just a heads up. Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour. Heads up. We're gonna do this. Ed, if you could, we're gonna do a couple of songs off the Blue Book here. Real quick, hold on, because I gotta get the Blue Book out. Actually, something else I just used is a paper weight on top of it here. And hold on, maybe I'll get this right. Oh, really? Oh, OK, yes, I see. You know what? Forgive me. I picked that up, and I looked at it, and I didn't look at it. There's some really interesting techno that one of our listeners sent me. And I recall it when it came into play, and it's actually pretty modern. I mean, modern-esque. It's really quite interesting. OK, well, we'll do this. Anyway, it's a tallow synth wave. But there's some really interesting stuff that, again, I want to say thank you to Bridget out of, where is she out of here? Hold on. Bridget out of, this was the letter that was sent. Out of North Carolina. Bridget out of North Carolina. Okay. Well, let me go through that list anyway. I was going to do that, but we're not. Okay, Child in Time. No, no, we can't do that. That's another one as long. I'm batting zero on this so far. And again, these are all letters that came in. I'm going through the letters which really are supposed to go into the blue book. Here we go. Okay, we've done this one recently again, so we'll do this again for Aaron. Peter Gabriel Games without frontiers, Ed. Peter Gabriel Games without frontiers. And then, oh what the heck, for that era of time, a good counterpart to that, let's do Safety Dance. Men without hats? Isn't that it? Safety Dance. Peter Gabriel Games without frontiers. and then Safety Dance. Those are our two bottom of the hour selections. A little past the bottom of the hour now, but we're here. And for all of you, you're listening to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. We do have the drawings coming up. You can get into the drawing by going to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Go to the Donate key. Donate any amount, dollar, $10, whatever, for... Well, I do is coming. I heard that click. We'll be back. That is Safety Dance. Before that, Peter Gabriel, Games Without Frontiers, right here on Liberty Tree Radio. It is Thursday and we are not headed in the weekend yet, but we are pointed in that direction. Tomorrow is Friday already. We've got 15, 16 minutes left of this day and we're done here. Again, a little killer outside, but if you do get a chance, get outside and take a look at that super mode as they're calling it that's going on right now as we speak in our backyard here all over the planet. Interestingly enough, again, like I said earlier, no need for any night vision technology tonight. The big thing here is understand how to use your natural night vision. Even in a high illumination situation, remember to either use the Z or X type pattern with regard to scanning an area at night. Remember that you have a blind spot in the middle of your eye. Most everybody, you all, since you've been born, have grown up to naturally ignore that blind spot and use systematically with your existing eye control that's automatic. It's something that you really can't control. You developed it from birth. And what happens is that blind spot is avoided. You naturally work around it. However, at night, both with the element purple, which of course is what helps your The collection capability to increase, the element purple floods your eyes, the areas around your eye, and help to distort appropriately your collection technology so that it can better collect whatever light is available. Well, when you're out there looking around, experiment, if you pay attention, look to the left or to the right of an object and note how you actually, with night vision, this is especially something, it becomes obvious. how you have a better clarity while not looking directly at the object. Now you naturally do this. Your body does it even when you're using stereoscopic vision, both eyes. You can close one eye and you're still in it with the same result. What's interesting is that With night vision the Z pattern is where you start with the left work to the right drop from the upper right to the lower left and then lower left and back to the right again you can reverse that you can make it an inverted Z whatever you want to do the X pattern is literally what it sounds like X marks a spot upper left lower right upper right lower left and in the process of doing so mentally you actually are scanning and identify unique or particular features and details that jump out. Kind of like the way you were taught, although when I say this, I don't know how you were taught to drive a car, but you might recall you're not supposed to stare at the rear view mirror, right? You're supposed to glance at the rearview mirror and your existing short-term, very quick-to-interpret memory calculates what it is that you observe and you absorb it, take it in accordingly and utilize the data at hand. So the same is true with night vision without electronic technology, which in this case, as I said, you don't really need tonight. Conventional optics will serve just as well. Now here again, something I do need to mention. We haven't done this in a while. One of the reasons for larger tubes for optics, one of the purposes, was for the purpose of light collection. Keep that in mind. So again, certain tubes with your conventional imagery were designed to help and enhance by collecting more available light during the twilight, dusk or dawn window of activity. Typically for hunters, we get out there before, you know, either at the end of the day or we're out there before the day starts. And that is the purpose behind the newer technology and the way it was built. to be more efficient at collecting light. So remember, a lot of the optics that you already have that are on many of your conventional weapons are more than sufficient for dealing with a lot of what is the necessary light collection, especially under these conditions. Something's pretty straightforward, but we do need to mention once in a while because we haven't really talked about it in a very long time. Think about it. So again, another useful tool in the toolbox. All we have to do is remember that it's in the toolbox and take advantage of it. Next, and again, we have only so much time. Somebody else is immediately asking, no, we're talking about the size of the actual tube for the scope itself. Traditionally, older scopes are actually relatively small bore. And with a relatively small arpature for both collection and for observation. If you take a look at scope years ago, that's a good question actually. I have plans sitting here with an eye shot on one of my library shelves right here in front of me of all the plans for home building scopes. But these are traditional patterns that were designed and were built back in the 1920s, 1930s. Are they effective? Yes. But we, of course, had advancements in being able to build and produce optical lenses. And so the quality of the product or the type of product available changed. And this is why you see, if you look at an earlier pattern scope of any kind from the 1900s, the last century, you will see the progressive change in the concept and idea of how optics of that type were built and it all has to do with the old story, you know, technology catching up with interest and it did. So the home builds would still be a step up from, you know, no optics whatsoever, think about it that way, but the quality of the product was sufficient. It's just that these were better ideas, became more popular within the industry and they took over. It's that simple. Today there are so many reasonably priced scopes out there for under $100 or even under $50. For right now you're pampered. Go ahead, call or jump in there please. Yeah, yeah, this text makes you talking about like the differences in scopes you know like like The so-called alleged scope that Oswald used was like you know I had the diamond or the dime you know and I little one of those little brain twisters that you know you see on on all these Social media things I heard because you're talking about how bright it is outside But it goes out, the moon is the night sun. Just a little tease there. Anyway, go ahead. I'm done. Well, appreciate it. No, no, that's OK. Input. That's a good point. You've got examples that are relatively modern of the type of scopes that typically were in service or common service at the time. I've mentioned many times that a nine power scope Pretty much all you need for most of the work you're going to do with a rifle if you're using optics and you have a modern rifle simply because we're not trying to reach that 2,000, 3,000-yard mark with anything we've got on our shoulder. Today there are weapons that can do that. But the big thing is that again, at that time, the 9th power of Burris that I usually reference, that was cutting edge back in the day, the period you're talking about. When Oswald, when you see what Oswald had supposedly mounted on the top of his karkana rifle understand that that was more the norm for the average scope out there but at the same time far more sophisticated scopes were actually quite accessible and were reasonably priced but they weren't the norm they weren't the social standard for that moment in fact it was a to do thing to actually have a a better op-ed because like anything else you've got the name brand fill in the blank and it's the latest cutting edge piece and it's very different from what everybody else is using which makes it interesting for trying to keep up with the bobs and on the Jones's but the bobs because bobs and the Frank's have the cool toys so one of the most important things here again with most everything that we're seeing here especially with these types of very bright moon, which by the way, the reason we have a really bright moon is because if you didn't notice today, you couldn't look at the sun. Now, of course Mark, you're not supposed to look at the sun. Yes, I know that. We were always told that we were kids. It'll blind you! No, you'll go blind! And it's like, wow, you're right, if I keep looking at it, I can't see anything when I'm done. Oh, God. But here's the thing, when we were growing up, you could look at the sun. Anybody out there today with this beautiful clear weather that we had? Guys, you couldn't even look towards the sun today for the amount of radiation popping off of the light bulb in the center of the solar system. And again, it's not what they're talking about. It's what they're not talking about. And they aren't talking about the solar activity. Now that has me curious. That's something I am interested in. So, again, why we need to pay attention. But it's also, again, example reverse situation, as he said. The moon is the night sun. That's exactly what's taking place right now. The level of illumination is such that no technical modification for collecting light is necessary. But your regular optics would work. Binoculars would be fine out there right now for horizontal surveillance. Everything else, it just worked out much better in terms of starlight. The biggest issue, if you recall, when we were talking about this when Don was, we've talked about this for years, when Don was alive, is the fact that, again, remember, your night vision is only good for so many hours of running time, so many thousands or hundreds of hours of running time. With the illumination level, the amount of light available, You're going to be burning the meter faster when you don't need to burn it at all. You don't need to use it, therefore you can let the system rest and use it for critical times when visibility is much more difficult to obtain. So, just common sense. And of course, I've got lots of money and I'll just replace it. Down the road we won't have that. Okay, I'll just stop in the store and buy another one. We're not going to have that after a while. We need to be disciplined now to husbanding our resources. The lazy man out in that, well, I don't care. I can pick up another one later. Really? We don't know when this thing's going to kick off. And the evil witch of the west, or I should say of the east, the middle east, BB the butcher of Beirut, Nettinhone, Nettinhau. He's the one pulling the strings in Washington now, so with regard to when something could happen, we don't know what kind of bird he's going to get under his crazy town saddle. Because of that, we need to be ready to jump off as needed to deal with the threat and to put it down when it starts. So we need to start thinking in battle term or in preparation terms as if it was jump off time at any moment. and act accordingly with regard to how we make... Oh shoot, that was interesting too. Sorry guys, we're having stuff happen at this end that's kind of unique in the electronic world. Can't fix that, we have to re-collect the program. So anyway, just a heads up, another thing real quick, remember, Somebody was asking me about this. There are coatings for lenses, for optics. But I am totally unfamiliar with what restrictions we may have on, for instance, the collection lenses or collection plates for a lot of the newest night vision. Because I've not seen that there are any limitations or restrictions, but that doesn't mean there aren't. Okay, so that was a good question somebody came up with here yesterday and I didn't get a chance to address. We're in cold weather. There's a bunch of different types of coatings that have been out there for years that you apply. Anti-fogging is mostly what they're about. I would recommend that if you have, especially since you probably invested maybe $1,000 or $2,000 or $3,000 in your collection technology, be it night vision or thermal, It would actually help us if you haven't done this or whoever has maybe it's in the manuals and I missed it and it may be But we do need to ask hey with is there any issue with regard to utilizing you know using the different protectors or again anti fogging applications that are out there because They may not have even thought about it. You know Don betcher with ATN, actually some of the things that Don came up with, you don't realize it, and I've said this many times, Don Betcher actually changed the night vision industry in several ways by asking questions that nobody had actually thought of, which is why they sent him anything that they came up with. Don Betcher had every piece of ATN equipment ever produced in his hands, either A, as a permanent tool, or they would send him one of the three or four prototypes and say, hey, what do you think of this? And he would take it into the field and also, again, do the old in and out, take a look at it, turn it inside out, so to speak. see what it could do and experiment with the hardware itself. What they were also curious about was economics, curious about performance. Don turned around and actually directed them in particular ways that stuck. Hey, that was a good idea. The rest is history. So, Don Betcher was a very unique individual in the mechanical end of the Patriot effort with tools that we now take for granted. No, not everybody takes for granted. Go ahead, jump in there, Connor. Yeah, section marks again. Yeah, I had a question that just came up. On all of the modern scopes, a lot of the modern scopes, especially even the more cheaper ones, Everybody is putting illuminated reticles on scopes. Do you find that a necessity now or is it just a gimmick? Because a lot of times you can get scopes High grade really good high scopes that are not illuminated cheaper than you can get the illuminated version. So that's my question. Go ahead. Well, here's the issue. First of all, is there a, we're just talking about coatings. The collection lens is a glass ground piece of high quality glass typically. Polymers are used to, the cheaper ones are plastic, but they're a very high-end polymer. And either way, they work. But think about this. If you have an illuminated reticle, and years ago we did talk about this, and I noticed they made it disappear, you're not supposed to think about it. If I have night vision out in front of you, and you have an illuminated reticle, Is it not probable? And I know it is, that somebody is going to be able to observe that light to the fascia, not to the rear, not beaming off your face. That's bad enough. Because it doesn't take very much with enhanced starlight to collect a whole lot of information that you would want some form of, again, neutralized coating to prevent forward flash off of your de... You see what I'm talking about? I personally don't use illuminated reticle except I've got scopes that came with rifles years ago that had them already in place. The reticle was already illuminated, it was already paid for, it came with a gun. I'd switch the scope out probably anyway. So I have some with and without over the decades, the last couple of decades. Well, no longer than that now, what am I talking about? Decades, this is in three to four. It was a unique item years ago. It's not as unique now. Personally, it wouldn't be critical for me to have that. Some people, they just can't live without it. I don't know why. But the consideration from our end would be either with natural night vision. Like, think about what we're talking about here for this hour. We're part of this hour. is the idea that I'm trying to observe an enemy and I'm hunting them. Bambi doesn't need to worry much, okay? Bambi's not out there with anything and is really probably trying to kill me. But people who are trying to kill me are probably going to have some pretty decent technology out there wandering around. And so I have to take into consideration anything that creates an electronic footprint of some type can end up being a threat to me in the long haul. So, the most important thing is can I shut off that illuminated reputable... Yes. As long as I can do that, I can opt to use it as I feel it's sensible to do so. The advantages are the twilight windows we were talking about, just to give you a little bit more of an edge with regard to confirmation on target. But it's not critical if you perfect your night vision skills, your natural night vision skills, and how to interpret with the eye potential that you have. Remember that dead zone we were talking about earlier? You constantly have to work around it. Anyway, well enough on that. We are at the top already. It didn't take long. And for everybody out there, Organized Army Equipment Train is malicious. Establish a 5-10 program in the area of operations. Logistics the key to victory. We need the material where the troops will need it, when they need to fight, and sound American soil. God bless our Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen.
