Sophie's hoping to be just like all the other girls in the ordinary. Just to fit in like an ordnance. What's your generation's dislike? Is this the freedoms we secured for you? We tire and slavored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave 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 void of how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can be taught according to this thing. 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 sh- giving government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and simply farm and 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, this 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 and be a slave? Arise, take a stick, defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great republic and eat God-given right. We pray to God of freedom, burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished, and the mist for which his words were true. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave. Good. Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Corkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. Northeast, Southwest, West, and ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org. And of course we're on satellite, thank you, to our rebroadcasters, Adlogi Digital, we're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. And it is, well, yes, Señora, Señorita, Ticinco de Amalde, and the Quartermaster Friday. It is the 24th of April. It is 2026, Old Earth Calendar. I'm giving it all to his God Captain. 125% and 2026 Battle for the Republic Book 3, a dark anniversary. We are busy into the weekend. We have got rain on and off of course. We had The impressive squall, if I was smart, I would have taken everything off that I could and kicked my shoes off and get out there and ground out in the rain especially. It's always much better for your body in general. Actually what I did do for as long as out there made me feel a lot better telling me I need to do that. It is something I need to do. And you might think about it also, we're into the spring rains. It's not going to let up. It looks like we've got a weekend's worth of on and off rains, so be prepared for it. Hard weather may be up north and harder weather up in the UP, which is kind of interesting. Also, still may be a cold spell across the Upper Peninsula. I understand we've got two. proposed training sites over the bridge that are going to be opening up. I don't know any more than that. The two locations have many, many, many sections of property around them because these allies have a lot of individuals who have purchased large blocks of land. So we have no neighbors or nearby people to try and piss around with operations. Usually there's a couple of tricks that the Adjutators, slash redec government, tripe, use to try and cause problems for people who have property in any given area. We know all the old tricks. We'll talk about some of them here in a minute. But as it is, Camp Emmerich, Camp Emerson, New Camp Stasa, Camp Oylen North, the Oguna Morasians, Naga Hichum, Fox, Wolf, Rustic One, and of course Fort Benning, Michigan. All are active and overbuilt. So I will point out again, as I've said, yes I do harp on this for a reason, because of the really wet weather, where I am right now, are parts of our front yard and side yards are rice paddies. Now it's not bad, nothing's dying or anything, we're not drowning, but we're getting still sufficient waves of light rain or squalls to the point where it's not drying up real quick. Well, if you're up in the rustic areas or any of the camps, if you drive one vehicle through an area, you make a mark. You have ten vehicles moving column through an area, they make a deeper track. You have a lot of traffic back and forth, you get ruts, puddles and significant scoring, which we do not want. Now we have a lot of We developed pathways and trails that are actually limestone based or even paved in some cases. But the rest of the training areas are fully rustic. So again, don't get pissy with anybody this weekend. I don't expect that to happen. Most of our people are pretty well squared away. But if you're new to operations, maybe you're listening right now, The MPs are there for a reason. It has nothing to do with us worrying about putting the thumb or a boot on somebody's back. It's to make sure that traffic control and operational areas are met. And also, again, we have a number of alternate solutions for moving in and out of the areas. If you have to leave for the weekend, we have accommodations. What we do is the upper parking areas, which are fully developed. and overhead cover areas that look like barns and outbuildings. That's intentional. That way you can't from the air really see what's going on. The idea behind this is that you will be prioritized for that if you know you have to leave, say, the middle half of Saturday for some reason, you're scheduled for work. Your unit is going to be up here in Michigan or around from other parts of Michigan. Then we post you in a location, your vehicle, so that you have the ability to walk out, jump in the vehicle, and unask the AO. It's real simple. So again, let people know. The team at the front, your entrance crew, security crew, that's one of their jobs. And they will do a very good job of helping to make things work for you because we plan on minimizing to maximize always. Also, remember the two number 10 can. In order to get into a facility, you have to have two number 10 cans. And yes, we will be pissy about this. If you forget, there are stores down the road not too far away. They have number 10 cans of random food. We don't care what it is. You can buy the cheapest. It's on the shelf. That's a good thing. But the idea is that it's like a pass coin. You're supposed to have the adult discipline to actually have it with you so that you can throw down when the time comes. In this case, it's, well, throw down two number 10 cans of food, but it's still the same concept. And again, everybody should be on the ball with regard to that situation. heads up, we're not trying to hurt anybody, the objective is to create a standard and also we have created quite effectively a tactical food reserve. And we can redistribute it, which we did, remember just this last season we had a couple of instances where because of work we actually had to clear one of the sites out, that happens on occasion and then we need your help. So you've got to be able to move all that stuff, move it quickly and then move it back to where it belongs. So, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Have your two number 10 kens ready for each person who's in the vehicle and they will tell you where to drop it off at the dock or at the building that it's designated for with regard to quartermaster and the dieticians and everybody will be happy. Okay, it's just very simple, but we're going to make sure we reinforce the standard. That's our job in life. That's what we're supposed to be doing. We're supposed to be adultifying. Not adulterating, adultifying our people. Building up and again, esprit de corps and discipline. The kind of discipline that wins. Okay? We got the sinker-thinkers, they got the sinkers. Now, a couple other things here real quick. Over at, now I checked with ShopMedVet last two days. When I told you about certain things, they were there. Unfortunately, over at ShopMedVet, a big chunk of the discounted surgical tools, surgical implements, have sold. Not all of them. And there's still everything that you need to put a basic, you know, add to a basic trauma kit. But there aren't any clamps. I didn't, we're cheap, cheap. Everything else is still reasonably priced. But again, you're going to have to sift through what's there. There's not as much left. Everybody's kind of pounced on it. The hemostats, clamps, those things are pretty well eaten up. But the skin tweezers are in four sips, the four sips are gone but the tweezers are still there, a couple of different variants. And also again, only one pair of scissors, but for 99 cents a pair, for whatever it is, if you cherry pick from what's in the surgical category and then also cherry pick out of the wound care in a few other locations, you've still got some good equipment. Everything else that we were talking about in terms of wound care, at least at this moment is still there. Don't be surprised if one or two of those are sold out. I might sweep in there and grab part of those Curad sterile meta strip wound closure strips. They're as little as $0.30 a pack up to $0.99 a pack and there's prices in between. It's based on size. But there are a few there that I might just pull out completely because we are doing advanced dock kits. And I should explain, one of the things with the dock backpack, in addition to the different vests that are out there that we've talked about, there are several that are actually perfect for the job, don't have to build anything. But we are building a backpack system that's pretty much identical to what you see with the Aidman slash the Medic backpack and additional blowout kit modules and replenishment modules that they have. Usually there's eight of those, eight of the external pouches and a core backpack. We found a source for the backpacks. It's not going to last very long, but we're buying out everything that they have and we're looking for more of the utility pouches, which we can substitute with a number, because it's basically an overblown, like, Megadeth IFAT kit. It's really just about the equivalent to an older style two-quart Alice canteen cover, basically, as a size. They're pretty decent with the rigs that we've put together, but the important thing is redundancy because dock is going to need a lot. Everybody carries their own, so dock doesn't have to carry as much. But we do need more of everything. And by the way, guys, we have a lot of fighting units. When I say a lot, I mean, we're doing numbers right now. We're crunching numbers to see how badly we outnumber any of the forces in any respective state. But here in Michigan, We have four times the force available that the National Guard has. We have seven times the force strength of all state police, county sheriff, and other local police agencies combined for both the Upper and Lower Peninsula. Of course, we also have forces in the Upper and Lower Peninsula. Most important is when I say six times, we're talking combat ready units or prep ready units that could flip around and activate within a very short period of time. Faster than the other side could actually, because their resources are all over the place. If they choose to go police state, join with the Chinese in attacking the American people, which they are, they've already made a contract. State police are already in contract along with the state of Michigan to cooperate with the communist Chinese on Michigan and American soil. So, better think that one through. Now don't forget something, there's also a damn near Russian, the DNR, that's an army unto itself. And they're already lawless, so that's another group that everybody better be paying attention to. Those are easily recruited criminals that would be pulled sideways into the secret police for gun confiscation. They already steal stuff from people all the time. They are commercial thieves. They come onto property legitimately all the time, sneak into people's property and steal stuff or sometimes plant stuff and get caught on camera doing it. So again, just a heads up there. But here's the thing. We need you in the support category as much as anything else. Somebody goes, well aren't you old to fight? You're not too old to drive a vehicle and you're not too old to drive an ambulance. And right now, to be quite honest, I would be more, one of the things I've taken part of my time and been doing is recruiting medical support and supply and support units. As I've said, I'm going to churches all through the state here. I've got another appointment this weekend. Probably I think we're going to be meeting about 6 o'clock on Sunday. But what's the purpose? To meet with the church elders of a particular group and explain to them, you know, don't have to worry about guns. What we need are, you know, again, medical support. Bullets are good. Band-aids are just as critical along with food. So what we're organizing are MASH type units, field forward field support. There's two things that I explain every time. This is a way to build up both a community medical backup, which does not exist with FEMA, does not exist with the government. They have done everything they can to contract and pull into centralized locations, medical operations, especially here in Michigan. For every hospital, if there were four hospitals open eight years ago, Only one of those four typically is open now, or at least any name it is, but it's been consolidated and pulled together. So you have all your eggs in one basket in a particular area, which is bad. Especially since they are typically either in close target areas in the event of some kind of military exchange, you know, as in strategic, or they're at a bad location because they're in a burn zone if people decide to go stupid crazy. For this reason, we need more medical. I appreciate it if you want to be a fighting unit and congratulations. I'm not stopping you from doing that. But what I really need are medical support units right now. We need more communications personnel that are willing to commit to long-term communications activities because that's one of the many areas where unfortunately you're also a target. So the first thing we explain is we are going to absolutely minimize communications. They will almost not exist with regard to battle chatter and battle traffic. And if it does happen, it's because there's no concern. Your position is known. The operation is a given. And battle chatter for tuning will take place, but it will still be minimal, and some of it will be deception technology. But medical support, if you're listening right now, one of the best things you can do if you're with a church or a church group is to organize as medical on my recommendation. Typically a church has enough people that if you're even a smaller one. Four, not expensive, we're not talking ever buying brand new anything. Four of the same model of pickup trucks with a cap and a trailer or a couple of vans, which can be used as ambulances or operational sheds, and two pickup trucks, each one with a committed trailer, and then accumulation of medical supplies. The trailers are for what? Medical supply and bivouacking. And also for food. You're going to have to have a combination. And you'll never have enough of any of the categories I just mentioned. You're never going to have enough food. You are never going to have enough in the way of medical supplies, but we can do a pretty darn good job of being ahead of the curve. So help me out with this one. If you want to organize, talk to your friends. If you're a mom, a dad, a grandpa, and you've got men who are thinking and are like-minded, by the way, it will be necessary for you to be armed. The Jewish mob murders people in hospitals all the time. The same Jews that are running the operation in Washington DC are laughing about killing doctors and nurses overseas right now. So as far as taking a risk, absolutely you're taking a risk. Do you think I'm going to lie to you about that? We won't harm people in that category, but we know that the federal government and the Israelis, the Jews that run the federal government of the United States, will. They they've bussed up Christian statues. You've seen all the stuff. They've been doing recently finally got caught on video Do you think it's new do you think they just now started doing that? Didn't get just happened. Are you kidding me? They these bastards hate real Christians now the Zionists Oh the Zionists are licked their bunghole line design this elliptia Israeli bung holes so deep their ears are brown and beg for more feces They're slaves. That's just a slave category person. There's nothing we can do about that. But, well, and remember, don't necessarily trust them very far either. For the very same reason. But again, there's a whole lot of independent people out there that are like-minded. Let's get them motivated and let's square the technology away. It's not difficult to do. Shopmedvet.com, shopmedvet.com, shopmedvet.com. And by the way, Sportsman's Guide has a lot of medical items that we don't talk about a whole lot, as much as maybe I should. But Shopmed Vet is a good source, but both sportsmansguide.com, sportsmansguide.com. and colmans.com colmans.com colmans m-a-n-s colmans.com they have a lot of beds, medical operating tables, new and used. Used is fine, it's cheaper. Go used first. When used is all gone then we'll buy the new. The big issue is to have a full TOE put together a table of authorized equipment even though we don't really control anything with regard to what you're supposed to have but we recommend. So if we call it a TOE anyway, maybe it should be T-R-E, what, table of recommended equipment? T-R-E. But one way or another, the basic standard is established. All you have to do is follow the rule, follow, let's say, rules with guidelines. And what happens is you're able to very quickly put together a copacetic unit that can get the job done. The purpose is, again, to create mobile response for medical support. And it could be the community because of significant, maybe larger mass disaster that might take place. It could be any number of things. But it doesn't make any difference. It would all be used, it would all be applied, and you would be part of the solution. I'm not sitting there crying about being in trouble and then we've got a problem. No, we're going to fix that. That's our job, can do attitude. So everybody, again, if you could, start leaning that way. And if you have any questions, send me an email at liberty at provide.net. Another thing again before I already mentioned the Curad sterile Medi strips those are cheap cheap cheap cheap over at ShopMedVet.com Also, RTGparts.com, RTGparts.com, RTGparts.com. They have the German AK mags, both the 30 round and the 40 round. 20 magazines for $99. 20 magazines, either 30 rounders or 40 rounders. They're the same price. That's over at, again, RT. G, that's RomeoTangoGulfParts.com, RTGParts.com. We're almost to the bottom. Again, yes, I'm going to switch over to talking about some of the stuff that everybody's yapping about today, but only because, again, I want to remind everybody that after they've stuck their foot in their mouth all the way up to their crotch, The characters are trying to do back damage control. Oh look, no, it's not so bad. It's okay guys. Look, the courts are gonna do something. Yeah, yeah, right. And I'm a Chinese jet pilot named Lao Zee. Full confidence in the courts. We know how well the courts work for Amer- Oh, they don't. What they'll do is maintain confusion while they proceed with the actions and then they get on with rape, kill, pillage and burn against the American people. That's the plan. That's what the Zionists are up to right now and they are full hell bet for election. But again, both the Demikins and Republicans are owned by APEC. Fake left, fake right and nothing real about any one of those SOBs. So, with that being the case, let's just continue to prepare accordingly and when the other foot falls, we won't be surprised. We're not going to be caught off balance. In fact, just the reverse. It's a natural step forward in order for us to deal with the problem. And again, focus on the task at hand until we finish them off, get rid of every last one of the bastards, and then get on with life. That's the mission. Get on with life after we're done with them. So, we're at the bottom of the hour, almost, quite low. That just slid sideways. Thank you. Appreciate that. And, uh, our music for the bottom of the hour. I have to go to the blue book, which I am in right now. The problem is I'm filling the pages up even as we go. Hmm. I keep having requests for Skyfall. When I look at some of this, it's interesting. There are a bunch of people who like the song. It's not one of the more notable. It's a cool song. I don't have no problem with it. I really don't. It would be cool in a music list. Give us a second. We played that recently. I'm going to go back a page only because I think that this would be a better choice for the moment. Let's see. Mmm, okay. Oh, I'm tempted. Okay, let's do this. We're all going to do John Wick, since everybody loves John Wick. Well, at least the original one. All the rest get progressively more around the corner a lot. And so, Kalita, the song is Think. Ed will recognize that one. Think by Kalita from John Wick. And Joe Walsh, the confessor. Joe Walsh, the confessor. Those are our two for the bottom of the hour. There we go, Ed. So again, Calida with think and Joe Walsh, the confessor. And you have another thing coming? Yes, I was thinking about Judas Priest. I had two more requests today for Judas Priest. You got another thing coming. In other words, if you think you're going to try and tear our country down, if you think you're going to take a slave, Now we're not going slave route anything. You got another thing coming, but that's not what we're playing today. Soon enough, don't worry, soon enough, we'll catch up. It just takes time and we'll play so many songs during the hour here and I'm not going to fill the whole hour with music. Here we go. We're working. Well, we're on radio. Anyway, very quickly there, if you'd like to make a music request, Liberty at Provide.net. send me an email, we'll flag it, put it over in the inventory, and I'll put it in the magic big blue book, which is right next to me here right now. Sometimes I leave it at the other workstation, so I have to play catch-up. Anyway, this one has no connection to the outside world, as far as the outside world you would know. So, anyway, a couple of the things here. Yes, I did catch that the, well, Chief of the Navy basically, he gave the guy in charge of naval operations. The naval, well let's just say big cahuna, there you're the leaders of anybody else in the pecking order that's above the purse other than you then move into the joint chiefs category. And he's technically part of that, so somebody just walked away. Now why did he walk away? Well, we've had a lot of people lamenting about this. Why aren't people not accepting orders and just walking away? Well, somebody just did. in the middle of what in theory is supposed to be a war. Even though it's not a war, it's a conflict, it's a police action, it's an operation, it's baffling you with bullshit, take your pick of whatever title you want to use here. But the bottom line is, well we should call it a war, but well the Wussies didn't declare war. They went and monkey poked and did a Japanese backstab attack. I mean we used to call the Japanese backstabbers for that attack. So why don't we call, oh wait, we can't do that now, because America is doing it. Oh yeah. With no justification whatsoever despite all the dribble that they're spewing from their lips. Well, somebody finally did what everybody was demanding somebody do. And this is not a surprise. It's not the first person. They've downplayed it. They've made a point of not really talking too much. And oh, they've been gushingly loving the guy and this and that and the other. This is not a time when management would be changing if you were serious, and they are serious. So obviously this person said, well enough is enough, hasta la winnabego, and I'm not going to let the coachman camper hit me ass on the way out. So as it is, it's just the visions of things to come in a situation of this type. The consideration is this, the individual may or may not have fallen on their sword. Go to the side till now. Whoa, God, he stuck a blade in his gut. Then he pulled up and then he went to the right and then he went back to the left. Oh, he got all three cuts in and his guts fueled out. And then the second in command used his naval officer saber and whacked his head off. He committed ritual seppuku. No, nothing like that. You know, you probably could image... You can visualize, because I did describe it, but we didn't see that. As likely as not, he got fired for not going along with the potentate. The Emperor does not have any clothes, and if somebody mentions that the Emperor does not have any clothes, well, then there's that other character from Alice in Wonderland. Oh, for this head! Oh, for this head! And they did. So the guy's gone. Now, not a whole lot more that can be done there. And needless to say, I'm sure again, retirement was the option. So he took that particular way out, wise man. But it does not make any sense, especially since really, if the individual is at the top of the pyramid in one branch or another, there isn't a whole lot they really can do unless it's an order that's been given by the president that the individual will not follow or he tried to deflect. Because otherwise the Joint Chiefs are pretty much, again, they're isolated. They do make decisions. But in this day and age, especially with the sociopaths for management, take your pick of which side, they're both owned by APEC, and when I say sociopaths, I mean the Jews, the Jewish mob that's controlling the government. Everybody that's a General Staff Officer knows this, it's there, don't you think? Don't you think that those people know that because we've got Israelis, we've got punk-ass Israelis running around in the Pentagon being given a full-time position of post and offices and walking in on restricted meetings because they could just wag their little kosher weenie in everybody's face. So the Joint Chiefs are, for all practical purposes, figureheads. especially in this day and age because there isn't really anything that they can make in the way of a decision. They can pass down a dictate by the potentate, but they can't do anything else. So if you are, the only thing you really can do is what he did, which is like, well sir, I don't think we should be doing that because we don't have the food, we don't have the munitions deployed. You didn't give us a heads up so that we could forward deploy a lot more of what we needed. We also based all the rest of our deployments, sir, on the concept of protecting all of our allies, not just that pipsqueak, worthless piece of real estate that those kosher, obvious, satanic, pedo, queer turds, are stealing from somebody else. That little dot on the map, the pimple on our ass nation called Israel Hell, that is about as worthless as the day is long. All it's doing is sucking our wallet and they're doing it right now. I mean, do you think that they're taking battle damage? Every bomb that drops, the Jews will claim seven times the damage in terms of cost. In fact, Izzy Blatsonstein has already got the calculator out, and is laughing, is a cackling. He's cackling to the breeze. I will really be able to play the rubes. The goy will pay. Don't you think that isn't happening right now? And remember that a whole bunch of these characters, rather than getting into uniforms, since they're supposed to be working for Israel Hell, well, Israel Hell expected American troops to be the knuckle monkeys to go in and bleed for this, just like the knuckle monkey America has bled for the Iraq nonsense, and all of the other activities that we've seen. So, they're not there. They're busy just like the Kuwaitis were playing in the casinos in Egypt during Desert Dust Part 1, remember? Big massive caravans of Lexus and all kinds of Mercedes and everything else, and they didn't stop running until they got to Egypt. And when they got to Egypt, they were laughing their ass off in the casinos about how the Americans are doing all that fighting for them. It's just the other Jews. See how that works? It was just the other, you know, It is interesting that it is no different right now than what we are seeing. It is just the idea that again the command is doing what little it probably can. You are not going to step up and do anything to el presidente because the Israelis and all of the minions that are now around Trump are either the absolute boot-licking yes men who are goy. But the lion's share of everybody around Trump and Dump now are Jewish mob. In fact, you got a pretty dark fruit loop. I mean everything from Laura Loomer, the fruit loop nutcase that is a multi-personality, personality schizo if you don't know. That's the person hanging with Trump right now. So, what does that tell you? Hmm, it tells me a few things. So, most importantly, it tells me that rule number one, don't go into the military. Do not go into the military. Now everybody is saying, well, they're going to do a draft. First, they've got to find you. I suggest to everybody listening, you better remember that electronic dog leash you've got. Two things you better make disappear or be ready to drop. Anything you've got in your cell phone that's critical, you better have a little blue log book. Go over to Dollar Tree, the same little log books I got from Dollar Tree, that's what I'm using right here, for the music. And write down all your critical items that you think are super, super critical that are in your phone. Number one. Number two is, again, also make sure that as much of your personal information, as far as images and pictures, are stripped out of the phone itself. Now this isn't going to do anything any good with regard to concealing that information. I'm just figuring those pictures are something you want. You took pictures for a reason. Maybe it's got your wife, girlfriend, fiance, or your future husband, or the family pictures. Get those all out of the phones. Why? Well because at a given point, when this kicks off, either war Or, in phase one, they start trying to draft people to become followers of the Jewish overlords. They'll be the whipcrackers, like in the USSR, Jewish Communist Russia. Or, again, somebody else's country is going to be there first, like the Chinese working with the regime when the time comes for the big move. You're going to want to be able to take that phone, disassemble it, hammer the Jesus out of it, or do something else we've talked about, but I think you're better off destroying it. But remember, like I said, if you were going to go to Washington, you take a drop phone with you. You take the drop phone when you're done with it, and typically you wouldn't even necessarily use it. You activate it there in the district of criminals and give it to some kid standing on the street, hey, you want a free phone? What's going on with it? It's a free phone. Yeah, whoa, what a B. Yo, and then let Homie Fry drive around Washington DC for the next several weeks and months until they come looking for it. Well, the same is true with regard to any activity on your phone. You better make sure it's all gone. You better scrub the thing clean. You're still going to destroy it, and you better be ready to have a dropped phone on standby. But you don't use your cell phone. Now, I guarantee that about, now, let's say 90. 80% of the people I could say that to will completely ignore what I just said when the time comes and will on the sly activate the phone and call somebody that the government's watching. Because everybody's talking about AI. Don't you think that there would be an AI software package that would, number one, through the cloud, figure out who you've been talking to? And then, as a small standby because they're on the hunt for corpses to put into uniforms so they can feed the Jewish meat grinder, they're going to turn around and then use the cloud to monitor all the other people you were in contact with. And when you make that stupid telephone call, it's going to give an approximation of area of operation and activity, and now they have a better field of consideration, knowing where to look. Wherever you fact you've pinged the phone, the phone even if you hang it up, the ping is still going to be there. It's been proven something I said 30 years ago is now common knowledge even though 30 years ago we tried to explain to people about cell phones and being able to track you with them and oh that's stupid, oh that's that's crazy, that's that's just paranoia and now it's like well we can track you with a phone. Really? Wow what a surprise we never would have warned you about that. In fact we'll go back to recent history with January 6th. What is the first thing I said about January 6? Don't go there. But what I did say is if you did go there, here are the things you need to do. And number one, if you like your cell phone, hand it off to your wife or your kids or ideally a friend who's driving all the way off in the other direction going to the other side of the country. Maybe if you know a truck driver, give him your cell phone. Even give him a charger, you can plug it into it so the cell phone goes all the way out to California or the Wyoming or wherever it comes back while you're going somewhere else. And if you do pick up a burner phone, you don't activate it when you're there and pick you where you pick it up and you don't buy it in your community either. You buy the pickup phone halfway between there and Washington or wherever you're going, where you're going to be active. When you do get there, you still have a little black book or slips of paper with all the contact numbers you think you might need to use in an emergency situation if you're having to evacuate from the area. Just in case you need to have help getting picked up and get out of there. But if you do that, like I said, you activate the phone, you utilize the phone for the numbers that you need to get out, you establish rendezvous points or whatever and then you take the phone scrub it again and of course still the meds in the memory and it's in the cloud but you then turn around walk over to some kid there in DC and you hand them the phone and say hey and by the way here's the code for reactivating more you know putting more time on it free phone see how that works That's how you should be thinking right now. If you're of, let's just say, draft age, and you're thinking that going over and fighting a war for Israel hell is a bad idea, probably should be thinking through that you don't, in fact, can't play your video games. You can't go to anything that's in the system. Most people will be stupid. We'll still ignore what I just said. But one way or another, you have to start peeling off all of these things. Disconnect. And it's something you better be thinking about now. Go ahead, call her, jump in there. Yeah, you spoke about a burner phone. When you get a burner phone, get a stupid flip phone. The only thing they can track is the towers that you are pinging. They can't zoom in like you can with a smart phone. All you need is text and voice. That's all you need. Interestingly enough, a lot of people, go ahead. Like I said, the only thing they can do is triangulate within 100 yards of your position. That gives you plenty of time to send your message out, dump the phone and go. That's it. As a matter of fact, that was the recommendation I made with the Jan 6 event. Some people actually listened, I know because they told me, yeah, And everything that you talked about, there were five people in a group that were from the bottom of Michigan here. Three of them were listening to this program and followed through. I know this for a fact because the other two people that didn't do what we recommended because they said, that's stupid. Well, you know who was running into hiding for a year and a half? The two people who took their personal phones and the FBI came right back to the community where they lived and they were asking everybody about them and based upon the phone records because Mark was stupid. But you know who they weren't asking about? The other three people who did not take their phones, did not use their own cards. They used a rental car. That's the only thing that saved all of them really initially is the fact that they used a rental car from an outlying area. And then from there they went to a peripheral area of Washington. They bussed in the rest of the way. They didn't use but one of the flip phones. The others they did. But the other two people, oh they just got on everything. And so finally the two actually stopped and made a deal because the feds were looking for them and they were kind of like not really on the run, they just weren't normally hooked up to everything. But their cell phones were active. So guess what? We know that it worked. If you follow through, go ahead. One other quick thing. If you pay cash for the phone, you can pick whatever name is attached to that phone. That's still legal. If you get it for 30 days, who cares? It covers the window of opportunity. You're never going to use it again anyway. Right, like flying back in the 90s. In fact, early 90s, guys, when I was running all over the country, I never flew on my name. I flew on... I was very Jewish though. Oh, I'm telling you, a lot of times I became very Jewish. Wow, yes, I hope they're still looking for Izzy Blatsonstein. You always joke about that one. Yes, Izzy Blatsenstein. You have that guy, he flies a lot, I'm telling you. Oi. So again, Prior Proper Planning prevents piss poor performance. This is still possible because they're refurbishing and still marketing cell phones. In fact, one of the biggest refurbishing companies in the Midwest was in Dexter, Michigan. They moved from the location they had right in Dexter, which is a pretty good sized site. But they're still in business, they just needed a larger facility. So flip phones, in fact a lot of people are talking right now that they're done with the more elaborate phone systems because it's distracting if you work, if you're on the job somewhere. So a lot of people are going back to the flip phones for that reason. There's only a specific reason, leaving a message and or sending a telephone call by voice. And again, they can be used technically like a pager, don't forget that. So again, solutions, not just complaining about the problems, but we are looking at the next wave of events. And it's obvious they need to murder a whole bunch of Americans. And if they can do it with an operation where the Jewish mob benefits by your corpse, then they're preferably going to do it that way. In fact, they'd like to do it that way because they feel they need to see you gone. Just that simple. Anyway, we're gonna hear the music. We're gonna be gone for a minute. We gotta take a top of the hour break. It is already 6 o'clock here. Dot blunt, hour republic, in the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The empire is on the run. We're in the march. Rock, use the bathroom and graphic up coffee. And we'll be back right here with the second hour of the intel recorded. It is Friday on Liberty Tree Radio. Future generations, this is like, is this the period for you? 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 shit. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they can burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country deep. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn holds they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children, your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise. Take a step. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each ungiven right. And pray to God, your freedom brings bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for when his words were true. We are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watched him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. Stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself, because most of them are quite lethal. Anyway, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm our kirnkey, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we're on the satellite. I want to say hi to all of our operators there, inland and at sea. We're virtually on every body of water on the planet this hour and for all of the hours of the Intel Report, but we echo out through the whole of the day, literally for 24 hours sometimes. All because people are picking up the technology and helping us. Thank you, we appreciate that. We are on a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside these United States and it is... Hey, senoris, senorita, senora, today is cinco de amote. Today, this is the day when you will buy amelisia for your pistola, for your rifle, and for your shotgun. Today is cinco de amote. Ahoy, vive en eva vivulucio, vive en la libertad. And it is also Quartermaster Friday, which sometimes is known as Quarter-Bastard. So, that's not very inspiring, but that's a fact. And for that reason, we need to make sure that doesn't happen with the militia effort. That means we need to step up to the plate, people. We've got a lot of work to do there. Anyway, let's see, it is... 2028? No, that'd be nice if it were, but it wouldn't because we'd be two years down the road. 2026? Yeah, there we go. 2026, Old Earth, 10-liter. 2026, Battle for the Republic, Book 3. The, ooh, that's right, the dark anniversary. We're past the winter war. There is no snow out there. Well, there might be up way, way, way up north or way up in the mountains out west, but right now we've got perfect spring weather going on. and everything is growing so I am very, everybody, very, very happy. The swans and the ducks are especially. Rain squalls today here in the bottom of the state of Michigan, a little cooler up north and cooler still in the Upper Peninsula with some storming. If you're going to deploy this weekend at any of the training sites, obviously I would bring along extra wet weather gear. Number one, our policy is to carry two ponchos anyway. Ponchos are tools in the toolbox. They're not just a clothing item. They are a utility tool and for that reason it behooves you to carry more than one whenever possible. So that's just RSOP. Everybody has a different idea of how to do things. That's fantastic. Double plus good. We'll see how it works as the game plays out and it will. Other things real quick here. We already mentioned ShopMedVet.com. ShopMedVet.com and rkgparts.com. The only thing I would want to hit today, at least we'll do it this hour, because 8 o'clock there's a bunch of stuff that we're going to want to touch on also. I want to try and keep that hour solid. Let's do guns and gadgets for today. uh... everything is flipping back and forth nobody surprised or shocked and amazed and we all understand what kind of liars for dealing with out of the district of criminals uh... that's not a surprise uh... the big issue here again is to make sure that you are sort of way more ammunition one of the most controversial pressure points in second amendment law is this what counts as protected arms Well, what if I told you that a federal court just ruled flat out that one entire category of firearms is not protected by the Second Amendment at all? Not restricted, not regulated, not protected, period. And the reasoning they used could have ripple effects far beyond machine guns. Because once the government gets to decide what is and what isn't protected arms, you already know where that road can lead. It's bright out here. So let's talk about this one. Hey everybody, my name is Jared. This is Guns and Gadgets, your home for Second Amendment News, constitutional analysis, and the fight to preserve our God-given right to keep and bear arms.

And if you're not seeing one, maybe two videos a day, then come to the channel directly. Type in youtube.com slash at guns gadgets because they do what they do. So let's dig into this. Now we're talking about a brand new decision from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. And the case is the United States versus Maxine Alsomat. A-L-S-E-N-A-T. And this one matters a lot. So here's what happened. A man named Maxim Alsenet was charged under federal law for possessing what the government calls a machine gun conversion device. Now, under federal law, specifically 18 U.S.C. 922-0, it is illegal to possess a machine gun unless it's one of the very limited pre-1986 transferable ones. Now, Alsenet challenged that law. And his argument was that banning possession of a machine gun, even for law abiding citizens, is a violation of the Second Amendment. And that's exactly what made this case so important. And here's the bottom line. The 11th Circuit said, no, no. Machine guns are not protected by the Second Amendment in their opinion, flat out. Now, in fact, the court said, quote, because machine guns are not protected by the Second Amendment as weapons in common use for lawful purposes we affirm, end quote. And that's the core of the entire ruling. Now, I want to unpack this a little bit, because this is where things, in my point of view, are really important. The court is relying heavily on framework from District of Columbia v. Heller. In that case, introduce this idea that the Second Amendment protects weapons that are in common use for lawful purposes. And it does not protect weapons that are both dangerous and unusual. Now, I say, Jared says, that when the government banned new machine guns in 1986, thank you Ronald Reagan, they intentionally made an attempt to make them less common. But in fact, there are approximately 782,958 machine guns registered in the United States as of May 24, according to ATF data. And while legal to own under strict federal regulations, the number of transferable machine guns available for private ownership is significantly lower, with an estimated 234,718 in circulation. Now, that's a lot. And the 11th Circuit walks through that logic in detail. They argue that machine guns are not commonly used by law-abiding citizens. They are associated historically with criminal activity. They are dangerous and unusual, and therefore they fall outside Second Amendment protection. They even cite the case Staples v. United States and other cases to reinforce that machine guns have long been treated differently under law. And the court also leans heavily on history here. As they point out here, After World War I, machine guns became associated with organized crime. Big deal. States also began banning them in the 20s and 30s. Then came the National Firearms Act and later the 1986 federal ban on new machine guns. Their argument is essentially this. There is a long-standing tradition of regulating or banning machine guns. under new modern framework from the United States Supreme Court case, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association versus Bruin, that historical tradition matters, but it wasn't this tradition they're talking about. So I'll get into that. This is where it gets kind of real here. A lot of people say, okay, it's just machine guns, but that's not the real issue. The real issue is the framework, because if the government and courts get to decide what's common use, then they can influence any outcome they want. Bruin was the history and tradition of firearm regulation at the time that the Second Amendment was written and adopted, not in the 1920s and 30s. So think about this, if something's banned long enough, will it ever become common? And if it's never common, can they say it's not protected? That's a very circular argument. They're controlling the supply, thus making things less common. And that should concern everybody. Today it's machine guns, and if they use that logic over and over, then it could be applied to semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, or anything else that they decide to target next. Because the test isn't based on the text of the Second Amendment alone. It's based on how common something is right now. The court even went further. They said that this ruling still holds true even if the person is a law-abiding citizen, has no felony record, and no violent history. It didn't matter to them. The category of the weapon itself was enough. And here's the legal takeaway everybody needs to understand. The 11th Circuit just aligned itself with multiple other federal circuits in saying that machine guns fall outside of the Second Amendment. They even cited other circuits that have ruled the same way. So it's not an isolated issue. It's part of a broader judicial trend, but now the big question becomes this. And I want to see your answers on this in the description down below, see where you go with this. The issue is not settled nationally, right? So where does it go next? Eventually, this is exactly the type of issue that could land in front of the Supreme Court again. And when it does, the justices are going to have to answer a very uncomfortable question. Does the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protect all bearable arms? Or only the ones the government allows to become common? And this is where we go back to the first principles. The Founders, they did not write the Second Amendment to protect hunting rifles. Period. They did not write it to support sporting purposes. They wrote the Second Amendment as a check on government power, a final safeguard for liberty. And history shows us, very clearly, that governments do not gradually give up power. In fact, they take it. One step at a time, one category at a time, one ruling at a time. So whether or not you agree with machine gun ownership or not, you need to understand what's at stake here. Because this isn't just about one type of firearm. It's about who decides the limits of our rights.

It was a oh, it's a fall ball Right up past the radio speaker there, up over his head, over the side of the stadium, rolls off the roof and drops right into the parked buses behind the Tiger Stadium. Anybody remember that? You know, the bus drivers at Tiger Stadium used to come to the games with catcher's mitts, with baseball gloves. You want to know why they did that? Because of what I just described. The fouls used to go over the guys that have such power. The foul ball literally would go up over the top of the stadium. and over the other side, and if everybody was listening to the radio program or watching the TV later, they knew exactly who hit that ball. And they'd be waiting when the team would come out to sign balls at the end of the game. They used to do that, I don't know if they'd do it anymore. And these guys would have sometimes two or three balls that they, foul balls that they captured. But they were hit by a particular player, so they were all worth money. Oh, what does that have to do with the gun issue? Nothing whatsoever. I just thought it would be a nice little bit of history. Maybe I'll jog your memory if you're an old Detroit area Tiger fan. I wasn't a Tiger fan, but I still remember that the one or two times I went to Tiger Stadium over the years. Hotter than hell, especially. Anyway, now, this is an interesting subject, so let me help everybody to understand Why, I don't know who's beating their brains against the wall in the wrong direction with the argument on this. Number one, a question was already answered by a federal court case that apparently everybody has gone mind-numbingly forgetful about, and it has nothing to do with these times. When the Gun Control Act of 1933-34 was implemented, They needed a series of showcase events so that they could attack gun owners. Does anybody remember what the number one showcase court case was? What the name of it was? Anybody? Anybody remember the title for it? You might recall it if you're my age, but only because we used to talk about it. In fact, the feds used to bring it up all the time, but they're not bringing it up at all. Why is it the feds aren't bringing up what is the foundational argument for their gun control grab of 1933-34? You want to know why? Because their argument lends full credence to why we are supposed to have a whatever weapon we choose. Let me ask you something. It was Miller versus the US government. Miller versus the corporation of the United States. It wasn't the US government that did that. It was the corporation of the United States. However, and here's where the problem is, Miller versus the US did not go into the Admiralty Court. And everybody's going to stop and go, what? Mark? But they were in Washington and it was a Fed case and it was 1933-34 when the Miller vs. U.S. government case came into play. The corporate Admiralty Court did not come into play until when? 1938 with the Buck Act. So, the courts that were hearing the Miller case were common law American courts. Does everybody understand that? Now, it doesn't mean that they didn't have flunkies and lackeys who were lodge buddies and yamical wearers that were part of the enemy pack that was in charge and progressively taking over Washington. They were, some of them were. Does anybody recall the name of the justice who was presiding over the case, Miller? Well, probably you don't. But here's what's interesting. If you read the argument, well, let me go one step further. First of all, does anybody remember what weapon Mr. Miller was charged with under the NFA Act? Anybody? We've talked about this case thousands of times over 35 years here. Anybody? Can anybody recall? Maybe you're looking up right now. You can look up, oh god, Miller versus the USA or American people or blah blah blah. It's the Miller case, okay? Miller High Life. No, not that beer. Anyway. Was it a sawed-off gun? It was a sawed-off, wait, that's a good guess. That was what you would think, right? No. It was a sawed-off shotgun. That's what my wife said. She said, sawed-off shotgun? Okay, that's good. Now, why is this important? Well, let's understand something about the Miller case. They were saying that under the NFA Act, that sawed-off shotgun, now listen guys, listen to what I'm saying. The American people have every right to every type of militia arm. But in the Miller case, it was argued that, quote-unquote, there was no place for a sought-off shotgun in a military-slash-militia, and they didn't use military, they kept using the term militia, in a militia format, in a militia force. That there was no, oh, what's that term that everybody's using now? Common, there was no common use of sawed-off shotguns, and this is the old story, oh you sad you see some Pharisees, you know, threading a camel through the eye of a needle. The argument by the judge and by the federal agents, by the federal prostitute, was that the sawed-off shotgun was not a military air go not a militia weapon and oh by the way all the American people have a right to the militia weapon but the sawed-off shotgun was not whereas all the other militia type weapons of any kind you can imagine which by the way we'll get to that in a minute were perfectly legal What is interesting is the judge did not know, well he didn't have much of a gun history for the last war per se, he was an older gentleman, but the last war was World War I. And as you all know trench guns were very common in World War I to the point where sawed-off shotguns, trench sweepers, were first bought by the government. One of the most common that everybody always seems to love is the knuckle buster, the Winchester Model 1897, which is a cool gun, takes a really cool M1917 bayonet, which is a big ass sword bayonet by the way. But what's important is that, oh by the way, the active military and militia used the trench gun or a sawed-off shotgun all through World War I for the whole time that we were there. In fact, we bought contract guns from about nine or ten different shotgun manufacturers so they could get all the guns they could get their hands on. They could acquire as many as they could. However, the argument was by the prostitutes is it didn't make any difference and they didn't bring up World War I even though they knew full well that they were lying through their teeth about the subject matter, okay? They present all of this to the judge. Now pay attention here. And even with the argument that the prostitutes had that the Sondorf shotgun was unique, and it was a criminal's weapon, even though the government had bought about maybe 119,000 shotguns for World War I, okay? And that's a pretty good number for the size of the fighting force. It was actually higher than that, but we know that they used them both here. You gotta remember, they bought them and used them here, not just over in the trenches. They had to have training and they had to fill out units that were going to go overseas. So they had to have the guns here, they were going to take with them over there because they were already short weapons over in Europe for our forces. Well, the judge looked at the paperwork and with the original, original, and this is critical, original Miller ruling, cited in favor of Miller that the argument that the shotgun, the argument by the judge with the original relief was that every weapon that was available would be a militia weapon in a time of war. So what happened to this? Wait a minute Mark, Miller is the one that the feds all use because they won. They didn't win, here's what happened. The Miller case was ruled, the showboat case was ruled in favor of the defendant. But FDR's communist B-witches came down the street strong arming the judge, judges, And you know what they did? They called the case back in without any notification of the parties and flipped the decision. And the Miller case, as you know it, is the second decision, almost a full, I think it was closer to 10 days, but I want to say at least a week. It was one week after the original ruling for the defendant. The guys out and about, they didn't, actually he didn't show up for court even guys, that's what's really cute about the case. He didn't show up for court, they didn't care because the argument, you know, whether he was there or not was moot, whatever it is that the prostitute or tried to come up with did not fit the common law. However, the Jewish mafia that was taking over the country at the time and had already taken over the money supply, as we know, came down the road and threatened or strong armed the judge and they flipped the case. Now, here's the thing. No machine gun was brought into for such a perusal or inspection for obvious reasons. And one of the things also to remember is that through osmosis, because the shotgun was an isolated device under the short shotgun element of the 1933-34 NFA. But it is obvious that the Thompson or the BAR or every type of automatic weapon or even semi-automatic weapon that they bring forward under the argument of the final decision by the judge, he flipped his description. This is what he did. He decided to rewrite and state that There was no place for a sought-of shotgun in a modern or in a modern militia or any militia force activity and therefore the sought-off shotgun justified finding the defendant guilty. Of course this is after the judge already found the man innocent. Hey Mark, can I add to the conversation please? Give me just a second here. Now, here's the thing to remember. The justices all ruled originally under the common law because at that time the courts were still common law courts. The common law court is not thrown out of our country. I won't say thrown out. What they did is they deactivated it. The Ringknockers in 1938 passed the Buck Act and the best description that I've seen is it was like stretching saran wrap over all of the courts of the nation and suffocating them. I want you to think about that because in 1938 when the Buck Act passes, what they did is they declared, since they had already declared Warren 33, they then declared to occupy the courts because the courts were a weak link that they had not taken over. So what they did is they idled the common law court. All the common law courts are still in, are still in our country. But as they told us back in the 90s, nobody comes to do business with us. The Admiralty Court of the British Crown Mile of England is what occupies all of the American court system. And that's why your legal books, all those little tan books, are registered in England, not in the United States. Go ahead, caller, jump in there. What I wanted to add here to the Miller decision, Miller's shotgun was a short barreled shotgun. I know they made the argument that it had no place in a modern militia. That was a saddle gun. It was a greener saddle gun with a 14.5 inch barrel. No one has ever heard of the cavalry? So, it was a saddle gun, it was not a sawed off gun, it was made that way. During the Civil War, the United States government purchased from France 10,000 double barrel shotguns with a 14.5 inch barrel, just almost identical to the shotgun that Miller had. And the reason that Miller didn't show up, he told the court that he was in fear of his life, And he needed that gun for self defense. Miller was murdered before Miller's case made it to the Supreme Court. And that's the whole key. He was murdered. But what Miller had was a greener double barrel shotgun, 14 and a half inch barrel. It was a saddle gun. A gun where he ran into a scabbard for a cavalry or just on a horse for shooting snakes, whatever he needed to do. That was a horrible decision that they made. Miller's attorney didn't even show up to the court case because after all Miller was dead and he wasn't going to get paid so he didn't show up. a history of using 14.5 inch barrels on shotguns back in the cowboy days. I have seen pictures of my family. It is called a snake charmer. You have the right word there. Remember who was it? One of the companies re-used the name in the 70's. Remember the little stainless steel 410. It had a self-contained storage point on the bus that was called the Snake Jarmer. When they said, where did you get that name from? He said, well, it's a traditional cowboy gun. You're exactly right. It's a cowboy gun. It's a black powder cowboy gun, saddle gun. Truthfully, if you want the truth, if you were luck out west today and you rode fences and things, truthfully, you probably would want a short-barreled saddle gun with you. But the original judge before it made it to the Supreme Court, like you said, they ruled in Miller's favor. But the FBI agent that arrested for Miller for bootlegging, you know that they never ever ever could link Miller to actually having a steal or selling alcohol. You know what he was arrested for? A fresh punk FBI agent looked to make a name for himself, who had been in the bureau for barely a year, arrested Miller on precursors. In other words, Miller had a load full of sugar. Miller was actually arrested for buying a pickup of several hundred pounds of sugar. That is what they arrested him for. They found that short barreled shotgun and claimed that that was a violation there because of that short barreled shotgun because of the NSA. All of that was a fraud. Basically the whole damn case is a fraud. The claim that there is no use for a short barreled shotgun shotgun in a malicious stance. They completely ignore the Civil War. They completely ignore, well hell in fact when the US cavalry went down and into Mexico after Ponsavia, I'm sure some of them had short barrel shotguns with them. Oh, most of you actually. Yeah, they had to. You had saddle guns, okay. If you remember, I'll tell you where you can see a validation of this, but they were trying to do the anti-handgun crap. is the movie One April Morning. It's about 19 April 1775. And it's the day leading up to it. And there's a discussion about what was in the actual official inventory for the Lexington militia. And they had, it was either six or eight Saddle pistols. Now guys, you ever see what a... they call names mean something. Words mean something. They're descriptive, okay? So we're not talking, you know, a little set of boot pistols or a little, you know, Deron's or you tick in your pocket or, you know, or something you'd wear in your belt like a, you know, a short single, you know, piece with a bullion. A burl. Forgive me, not a bullion. A burl. Anyway, the whole point is that a saddle, a horse pistol, was typically a cut down and sculpted standard rifle, or musket in this case, and was the precursor to what we'd later call carvings. But they were handguns. They were literally 16, 18 inch barrels, sometimes 14, but they were longer because again, the cavalryman needs something with a little bit of reach away from him. and they were typically tucked in the saddle, which is why they were calling, again, their horse pistols, they were mounted right into the saddle in front of the operator, in front of the cavalrymen. So everything we're talking about, see this is the problem, is everything was an absolute lie. However, here's the thing, it's all part of the history that is in the record with regard to the whole case. It can be demonstrated. It's readily available. And in fact, the arguments that are made and the discussions that are thrown forward fully justify why it is virtually every weapon we have is a marshal slash militia weapon. In wartime, we used everything. Literally, in each conflict we have ever been in, if you can put a bullet in it and it can be thrown down range, it was used. There was no, oh, I always think it was used. In fact, the American War for Independence should be the classic example. Go ahead, jump in there. Well, have you ever heard of the chambers? The man, the guy by the name of Chambers, made a proposal, this is in 1790 or even before 1790, he came up with an idea which is actually a spoof off of another gun that had been made in France like 30 years earlier for basically the equivalent of a machine gun. The Chambers had seven barrels, each barrel was Let me just get this right. I think it was chambered with 32 rounds, or loaded with 32 rounds, and they were seven total barrels. And that thing, once you kicked it off, it was a black powder firearm, but it used a very special ball. It was a pain in the butt to load. But the thing, once you pulled the trigger, it led off 224 rounds continuous as a machine gun. Just a low-volume machine fire. Now the chambers, The founding fathers by 1790, well the chambers had it ready for 1790, but the founding fathers kind of rejected it. But in the war of 1812, the chambers were used by the US Navy to protect the Great Lakes. But it's actually an early machine gun. The steel and stuff did improve a little bit when Chambers first introduced it to the War of 1812. But if it had not been for the Chambers, we would probably have lost big time in the Great Lakes because the British had more firepower. Well, no, you're absolutely on the mark. Remember, we've talked about this for years in this program. We're right here, we're in Michigan, and people fail to understand exactly how large the fighting force was on the water. We built whole navies up in one season, set them into Lake Erie, and lost almost every one of them. And they did too. It was a tit for tat. Both sides beat the living snot out of each other. And the weapons that were brought in were some of the most innovative, in some cases built only in the Great Lakes area. And with regard to any of the weapons that we're talking about, including even those smaller parrot rifles, they were designed as much for anti-boarding as anything else. You know you're being overrun and you're on the ship think about the weapon we're talking about here It's like yep time to use it and bang and pump up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up They used them for clearing the decks on British ships. When they engaged the British ship, once you pulled that trigger, it fired for 224 rounds if everything worked right. You could literally just scrape an entire deck on a British ship. But if it hadn't been for the Chambers, we would have probably lost the battle in the Great Lakes in the War of 1812. See, that is something that people kind of burn my butt. You hear people say, well they didn't have high capacity firearms back then. Well, hell they didn't. There are guns that go back into the 16th century that held between 28 and 32 rounds. Now some of them were manual or in other words you rotated a cylinder or copped it. But most guns were magazine, a lot of guns were magazine at 28 to 32 rounds. And it's always been fascinating to me that today we're talking about a standard issue magazine being at 30 rounds and yet standard issue for some of these firearms over 28 and 32 rounds. Now the reason that most of them were single shots is because they were cheaper. But to be able to make a firearm that had multiple rounds in it where you could reload it multiple times, they had to maintain extreme tolerances of two thousandths of an inch or slightly less. Most people in shops didn't have that ability, but has more and more machine tools and quality of workmanship increased. Yeah, yeah. In fact, I think it was the Swiss A Swiss king or a Swiss lord, he had a hundred guards and all of them had a special repeating rifle. I think they were either magazine to 28 or 32 rounds, but they were very expensive. It was a long time to make them, but the mechanism was the key. This existed for a long time. In fact, there is some evidence that repeating firearms existed in China back in the 1400s. If you are willing to go lunkier, you don't have the capability to machine to greater precise tolerances. then what you do is you go heavier with the material itself which means yeah you gotta carry two more pounds of metal but if your gun goes bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang it kind of is devastating when the other guy is going bang and then he's really damn good because he'll reload in 20 seconds but it's 20 seconds before he can go bang again that's for talking muzzle loading because remember three shots a minute guys three shots a minute that was the goal Okay, so meanwhile a guy with any other kind of concept weapon is able to literally put a hail of bullets down range. And by the way, they might even be lower velocity, but you ever been shot? It doesn't make any difference what you're getting shot with. It's very, let's just say, disheartening. In fact, outright painful, right? So the question is... Well, I would want to get shot with a .30 or .32 caliber bullet with 30 grains of black powder behind it. Who wants to do that? And my argument is, no, that wouldn't be the weapon I'd want. I'd want the Sten gun. Now can you imagine if you walk back into 1860 or 61 and you walked into a room and said, you see this? You guys make boilers that use this pipe, don't you? You guys do, you can do sheet metal. In fact, can't you do sheet brass? The reason I bring this up is because first they made the Sten gun for $2.75. each during World War II. But here's what's really bizarre. When they handed the project over to India, so to speak, and gave them a bunch of Sten guns, have you been looking at any of these Mark II kits over the years that came out? The, the, the India made bronze bolts for the Sten gun. India made brass bolts for the Sten gun. Many of their parts are, let's just say, a little less sophisticated, but you know what's really amazing? Is when you pull the trigger, they go, boom. And if you hit the push button, they go, ba-da-ba-da-boom, ba-da-ba-da-boom, ba-da-ba-da-boom. Okay? Now, that gun, with its sloppy tolerances being what they are, imagine if a Confederate cavalry unit as a mobility unit, or a light infantry assault unit had 400 Sten guns at Gettysburg. Do you realize what that would be like? You would have walked into the... That would completely change the dynamics of the battlefield. Right, now you still need to re- you know remember you're using, and by the way it goes, well Mark they didn't have the same cartridges they don't need. Now here's the thing to consider. When the Civil War started, guys on both sides, there were whole units that had lever-action weapons at the beginning of the war. Whole Confederate units had purchased volcanic lever-action rifles and pistols. Yes. And there were northern units that also bought volcanic, lever action rifles and pistols. Now, take that into consideration. Hold on, caller. One of the things about reason I'm qualifying this is that that was with rimfire. Does everybody understand that? That even many of the buttstock loaded repeater rifles were using a rimfire case. Can I make the Sten gun work with a rimfire case? Oh, sure as shit I could. In fact, if everybody goes, would it be rimmed? Okay, let's see, the British Enfield Rifle. Does it work every time you operate the action? Nope. What's it use? 303 British. Was 303 British rimmed? Oh, that's right, it is. And you know what? Whole armies went into the field with a rimmed case in a stacked magazine and they got it to work just fine. So if you didn't have the center fire modern sophisticated case, any existing successful cartridge could quickly be adapted to a Sten gun design. You see how this works? And again, do I need that kind of firepower? Well, I don't give it to everybody, but it's like I said, are you with the elite Sten unit? Yes, I'm with the Lee's high rifles. Well, these high rifles, who the hell are they? Well, it's a battalion of special infantry. We are supported by our riflemen and we exploit any kind of cut in the line and we move in and then we cut definitely down the line and just hose down everybody. They drop like flies. Everybody's just dropping and dying. Well, remember what the Russians did in World War II with the Papishaws. What the thing is done with the Suomi. Even the PPS-43, that existed. Those gun literally whole divisions were armed with just machine guns. The Papa Shaw started out the original, when they submitted those guns to the Russian government for approval. The original one took 14 to almost 15 hours to make and the guy that created the final Papasha variant got it down to 6 hours. It was basically a sloppy piece of gun made out of a bunch of sheet metal. It worked just fine. Crude is casting crude crude is sheet metal now. We got another caller there. He's been very patient. Oh jump in there, please Okay, well let's let's take this one step further a little bit even simpler because there's been a machine even talking about machine guns But I can take a simpler machine gun really even quicker much more so even much more simpler Take a good heart. It's been done before It's been perceptive It's just a glorified Roman Candle. take a good look at a Roman candle, would they mention that that hard to load shot with all those barrels, all those bullets and it goes off all at once? That is essentially a glorified Roman candle. They perfected the Roman candle technique. It's harder to load. It takes a little bit of time. But they had this one Roman candle that that can turn on and turn off, it's electrical, but you're talking about a type of, you probably had kind of like a little pin hole, you probably had a perfectly round round, you probably had something like a perfectly round round round cylinder into the hole into the barrel and then you had a little pin hole in the middle of the round so when the first round went off it kind of went ignition backwards into the new charge. So you take a perfectly round hole, you take something perfectly round and then put a super small pin hole in it, that's your next charge to the next round behind you. That's probably what they did. But there's an electrical way, there's an electrical way. They were getting rates, they were doing a machine gun. They did a machine gun, what was a glorified Roman candle that was going, that could be turned on and turned off, but it had to be produced at the factory, reloaded at the factory. And it was basically, it just sparked, sparked time, electrically sparked and timed perfectly. I think that could be looked at. The whole idea was the Roman candle would probably be, or the poor man's machine gun, it can be done. I just wanted to put that out. You mentioned the Roman candle in so many ways, I just had nobody put out the word Roman candles, so I had to call up. I'll just hang up for now. Very good. No, you brought up a good point. In fact, the Germans remember here about, what, eight years ago? actually have produced an electronic activated box. If you look at it, it looks just like a big ass... It looks like an old computer monitor. But what it is, they claim that they can get a million rounds a minute out of this thing. And it's basically a stacked, just like we're describing, and just like you're describing the Roman candle concept, it's basically one round stacked on top of the other with a very sophisticated, a little more obviously modern, propellant. There are videos, off the top of my head, basically where it would be great is for a last point or close point area defense. It can be used for offensive use, obviously, but where its real advantage is, is if you are in a desperate situation where you're being overrun, these would be those last weapons used that would break the attack. Because your mission is to blunt the aggressor to the point where with devastating casualty they choose the better part of valor which is retrograde, fall back. Of course they may not make it with that kind of fire power. You're probably going to hit everybody out there you wanted to and maybe a few you didn't. One of the things that I would tie in with this, again what we're looking at is ERA. Theoretically if you could understand how to build the case The American War for Independence, there's nothing on the Sten gun that could not be built in 1775. In fact, consider this. Have any of you ever seen how they made barrels for most rifles? You know that most barrels were not bored, but for muskets, typically, there were two techniques. The one is rolling a sheet, literally rolling a panel, and progressively rolling the panel over on itself, and bonding it and literally brazing or bonding it with, you know, again, supercharging it and driving it into the other overlapping panel and then rounding out the bore approximately. That was done with a mandrel that went into the barrel. Well, guess what? You could build a Sten gun tube the same way. If you were in 1775 and you needed to make a tube for a weapon of that type, I'm just saying again, hold on here because I know we only have a few minutes here, the big thing is that what do you feed the device? It's neat if you have something like this and the important thing is, like the Roman candle concept or the retainer gun where you have stacks of ammunition in each tube, it's difficult for you to say mount that. So what you are looking at is can you create a mobility weapon that gives a critical and let's just say an elite force of that time the ability to focus. Now you have to consider something. In an army of that day you had a Grenadier unit which were grenade throwers. That's all they were guys. That was why you see the little fire bomb. That's where that came from where the bomb with the flame on the top of it. and the Grenadiers were an elite unit and nobody could just call themselves a Grenadier. This is why the term Fusilier came about. Now add to that between Grenadiers, long range rifle marksmanship improved, and a volume fire weapon that you can carry that can discharge multiple rounds, you have a base of fire, you have an assault element that actually provides indirect fire weapons or burst weapons, and then on top of that you have a mobility force that can outrun and also outshoot pretty much anything that it runs into. The biggest issue you have is to try and protect what you have in the way of that surprise weapon because the moment anybody else gets hold of it, they're going to copy it. It's historically has always happened. Let's not forget the Union made the Remington and the Union made the Colt and the counterpart, as you all know, is the brass frame versions, what they used to call the Confederate version when I was growing up. Well, the brass, you can get a brass Colt for half the price of the steel Colt. And what the brass colt was representing and the reason they knew they could make it like EMF and all the others is because historically that's how the Confederacy was able to keep up with production. It doesn't mean that they didn't have steel, they just didn't have enough steel. So brass? Grass? Fine, go ahead and jump in there. Real quick on the barrels, Tents, Cox and Harpers Ferry in 1803, they were making barrels where they would have a chunk of material that they were going to make a barrel from. They would drill a big hole in it in the middle and then hammer forges the barrel out to lean. They were doing that in 1803 and see the haul barrels for the haul firearm. That became, they started using that too, but the wrap around technique that you are talking about, that is actually almost, well that is revolutionary war in small homes. Well, and the other thing about this too is, okay, let's not forget a couple of tricks here. If you were stuck with having to build from scratch, one of the techniques used for damask guns, damascus steel, which by the way in damascus with firearms, you have issues with, you know, variants in tempering, which is where you have failures with higher pressure loads. Always remember that. If you have a damask gun, just keep it in the lower black powder range. point, put, nail it to a chair, duct tape it to a chair, cock it back, put a fish line under the triggers, aim it towards the door, screw the chair into the floor so it can't move, and there's a door that's covered with a gun that you could do something with if it was on its last legs. But the thing is that one of the tricks, both with field improvised artillery and with home built guns was to also either bronze or copper or brass or steel or malleable iron wire and wrap the barrel with that. In fact, you used to still see years ago when I was growing up, way back when, and I'm not as old, but I know a lot of people who have collected them, you used to have all the old Arab guns, the old Arab camel rider guns coming in for $11 apiece from overseas. Now they're stupid to an unobtainium price. But if you ever looked at these, these things were about as variable as you could imagine, and they were built from anything you could imagine in the way of metal. But one of the tricks you would see over and over again is that the masked barrel because it was argued they were to mass steel and they were muskets They were not rifles, but they were very very long barrels. You've seen them in movies Don't see them anymore in real life, but the barrels typically for the back chamber area Sometimes a third sometimes halfway up the barrel were wrapped with what was the equivalent to about one quarter inch wire sometimes eighth inch wire What that did is it created that strapping to help compress that area so it wouldn't fail on the shooter. It's a trick you also do when a gun is starting to fail and you're trying to use it for an anti-personnel device in artillery back in the day. You do the same thing. If you were making a barrel cannon, guys, barrel cannons, look them up, barrel cannons, literally words mean something. These were weapons that were literally made by taking an oak barrel and turning it into a big ass claymore. So if you think, just like you were just saying earlier, now all these ideas, everybody goes, this is all a great new idea. No, this is as old as gunpowder people when everybody had to figure out how to make things work and hell, there wasn't any factory necessarily available or supply wasn't going to show up with jack or squat. So you had to make it yourself and everybody, anything and everything you could imagine was built. And we've offered a solution on the whole idea of being more sophisticated, you know, the what if scenario. But a realistic one of scenarios was something that is crude enough but reliable enough that you could build it pretty much in any time zone. And sorry, the Sten gun is the crudest, rudest, but most effective weapon in that category. It's simpler than the Depies. It's simpler than the Johnson. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, and every part of that gun does not have to be stamped. You know, the French made the Sten gun, but for like the rear spring retainer on the back of the Sten, the French realized they didn't want to make the time to make the stamping tool. They just machined it. It was easier to machine it and mill it out on a lay than it was to make it on a stamping die. So I mean, there's a lot of things that can be done on a Sten gun. Well, and again, the idea is that you be creative when you, you know, whatever process is most readily available and most cost efficient is where you go. If you stamp, you have to have the machinery to make dies. If you can't make dies, then you have to go with individually manufactured components. Even smaller, I mean as in produce raw material and probably milled and or even wrapped files. Remember a file can do a whole lot of work if you got all day in your patient. That doesn't sound like a happy work, a happy, happy job for anybody to do, but it's reality. We're at the top and Ed's coming up right now with militia town hall. Guys, don't go anywhere. God bless the Republic. Death for the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the march both day and night. Remember, even the Roman candle concept was, you know, for overrun, you know, put it on a cart, roll it out to the enemy, point it towards the enemy and preferably conceal it so there's no realization of what's happening, and then go into town. Even if you can't, if you use it when you know it's needed and you're not worried because you can't stop it. At the end of World War II, the MP44 guys is full auto, but have you ever read the manual for using it? It was recommended that if you were to use it full auto, you burn the whole magazine out, you didn't try to select fires, you know, like, you know, three to five round bursts. It was designed, again, as either a salt option or a defense option for rear guard troops, which is typically very commonly where it was used. And it says right in the manual, you know, for both of them, you know, slash do not use, you know, do not stop firing if you go to select fire. Now that changed with policy and they found the weapon was tougher than expected. But consider, even up to that point in time, hey, we got it, it's kind of iffy, when we do use it, do this and that way you don't break the gun and it'll be good for later. Okay, I'm out of here. I talked enough. Anyway, for everybody, militia town hall, coming up next, Ed's in charge. We'll be back at 8 o'clock. Give me intel report. God bless. Bye bye. and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them. A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their safety and happiness. Prudence indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes, and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are separable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and use of patients pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient's sufferance of these colonies. And such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained. And when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, reposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time after such desolutions to cause others to be elected, whereby the legislative powers The incapable of annihilation have returned to the people at large for their exercise, the state remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these states. For that purpose, obstructing the laws of naturalization of foreigners, refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws or establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the military independent doubt and superior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws, giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation. for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us, for protecting them by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these states, for cutting off our trade with all parts of the world, for imposing taxes on us without our consent, for depriving us in many cases of the benefits of trial by jury, for transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses. for abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these colonies, for taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our governments. for suspending our own legislators and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his protection and waging war against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens taking captive on the high seas to bear arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. He has excited domestic insurrections among us. and is endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. Nor have we been wanting an attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarranted jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity. And we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must therefore acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our separation and hold them as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace, friends. We therefore the representatives of the United States of America in general Congress assembled appealing to the supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions do in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies solemnly publish and declare that these United colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British crown and and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is and ought to be totally dissolved and that as free and independent states they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all of the acts and things which independent states may upright do. And for the support of this declaration, With a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Time for the Malishman Town Hall meeting here on Liberty Tree Radio, I'm at the AK-47. We're up live. It is... Let's make sure I get the date right here. April 24th! It is the last Friday of April, so you won't hear from us again until next month, which is May. My sister-in-law's memorial, people have been asking about that. It's going to be held at their church on the 2nd of May. I have the information, but I don't have it right here at my fingertips. I think thank you everybody who sent their condolences. Really it needs to go to Eric. I'm down here in Texas. You're better. He's on Facebook and a couple other places you guys can contact or send him stuff directly. Anyway, I'm going to move on past that. We've got some stuff back in the news again for MicroSlob. What a surprise. Co-pilot's back in again, even though they claimed they were going to remove it. Now we got co-pilot 2.0, which they're putting back in, and Microsoft and Meta are weighing off a large number of their programmers and support staff because AI is taking its place. They can't get AI right, but they're already starting to weigh off their people and replace them with AI. So let's start with that stuff and also we've got this thing coming up May 1st, E15 gas. Some cars, it's going to ruin your engine, or at least that's what some mechanics are predicting. And it wouldn't surprise me if it does if it's intentional to destroy engines. Let's start with the Microsoft stuff. Microsoft lied to us about removing co-pilot. This is from Sam Time on YouTube. It's short so we should get through this quick and then we've got from the NBC television the stuff on the layoffs so here we go. Okay so I got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that we lied about removing co-pilot features from Windows and the good news is that Windows recall can be hacked. Why is that good news? Well now you've got two copies of your computer's history. One on your computer and one on the hackers outside. Redundancy! Oh hi there, I'm Sam Tucker from MicroSwap. Pilot. And you may have heard recently that Microsoft has made a couple of AI related mistakes recently. Hard to believe. I know. The first one we'll look at is Copilot. So, remember how Microsoft said that they would be removing their annoying AI assistant from popping up everywhere in Windows? Because it was everywhere. From Notepad to Excel to Edge. Well, I'm happy to say that with the latest Windows update, Microsoft has removed Copilot from one of these apps. That's right, Copilot has been removed from the Notepad app and has been replaced by a sparkly pen that does all the same crap that Copilot did. So you know, it's just an AI branding thing. Instead of the Copilot hole, you've got the Copilot pen. Either way, you're getting screwed by one of them. Copilot is still in Excel. Microsoft warns you not to use it if you want accuracy. Oh, I thought computers were meant to be good with numbers. And co-pilot may or may not still be in the Edge browser. No one in the world can be bothered opening it to find out. In other great AI news, remember that recall feature that Microsoft announced? Where Windows would take a screenshot every few seconds on your computer to make it easier for you to find files and websites you visited. Well, turns out that storing regular screenshots on your computer and letting an AI skim through it wasn't the best idea for privacy, as it's vulnerable to being... hacked. Wow, who could have seen that coming? Except everyone. Cyber security expert Alexander Hagena... Hmm, now that sounds like an alias... Has created a tool called Total Recall Reloaded that can extract all the data from the recall lab. Oh, whoops. See, all your screenshots and everything from recall are stored in a vault on your computer and can only be accessed when the user passes a face or fingerprint scan. However... The Total Recall software is able to silently run in the background and can trigger that recall feature that makes the authentication window pop up. And when the user then scans their face or finger print, the vault opens and the malware is able to hitch a ride with recall to get in and extract all the data in there. Like screenshots of maybe your login bank account, private messaging conversations, and your sensitive documents. It's okay, document. I know you're sensitive. Now, where did the bad man hack you? Ugh! Likely though, Taganar disclosed his findings to Microsoft last month. Unfortunately though, Microsoft closed that report saying that there was no vulnerability. Oh, well, that solves that problem. The all new Microsoft mistakes. I swear it must be a bunch of AI holes making these decisions. Subscribe to Jig. Hey everyone, thanks for watching the video. And remember, in Microsoft's legal terms, they say that copilot should only be used for entertainment. And I can tell you, copilot has been very entertaining for me recently. So they might be right there. Want to like the video and subscribe for more fun tech news and parodies. Yeah, and if co-pilot should only be used for entertainment, it shouldn't be anything. Anyway, I played that one because immediately after, you know, it said, is this stuff being made by AI? Well, yes, it is being made by AI. More and more, they're relying on AI to build and fix AI, which means it's never going to be fixed. Well, if you have a damage program, trying to fix another damage program, the damage is just going to get bigger. It doesn't mean AI is totally off the hook, however. Julia Borson has more. Julia? Well Kelly, what we're seeing now is the fact that in the past 24 hours, Meta and Microsoft announced a combined 23,000 job cuts and that speaks to how tech giants are doing more with fewer workers. And that speaks to new AI efficiency, enabling each worker to do more. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in the company's last earnings call, quote, we're investing in AI native tooling so individuals at Meta can get more done, saying we're starting to see projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person. So new AI-driven capabilities are intersecting with a hangover of hiring during the pandemic. Meta's headcount peaked in 2-3 of 2022 at 87,000. It dropped down to 67,000 at the end of the year of efficiency in 2023, Mark Zuckerberg's declared year of efficiency, and then grew again to 79,000 before These latest layoffs were announced. Savings from these job eliminations are funding investment in GPUs and data centers, which are now the hyperscalers' priority. Meta-spending as much as $135 million this year on capital expenditures, while Microsoft's run rate puts it on pace for $145 billion in capital expenditures. Excuse me, that was $135 billion in capital expenditures this year, billion with a B. Now, analyst Dan Ives saying of the layoffs, quote, we believe that this is part of meta strategy to increase leverage AI tools to automate tasks that once required large teams, allowing the company to streamline operations and reduce costs while maintaining productivity, driving an increased need for a leaner operating structure. Kelly? That's right. Yeah, is that coming for your job? It's coming for the job of the people who made it. Ah, fun. Well, so again, more layoffs. And I believe, what is it? Apple is talking about moving from, I think we talked about that last Friday, Apple is moving from California to Texas. Really, as anti-gun as that company is, I wish it wasn't coming to Texas, because you know they're going to be flexing their political muscle to try to get their way in the state once they're here. So we'll see what happens with that BS. But yeah, Apple's basically moving its people from California to Texas, but I don't think they've taken everybody. You make a move like that, the Californians are used to ridiculous paychecks because they're ridiculously taxed. You bring it to a state like Texas, cost of living is down. Yeah, there's going to be either wage cuts, people being fired, or they're going to hire new people. I don't think people will realize Austin. has got a lot of tech there already. Gaming industry, Gateway was out of there. I don't even know if Gateway is still a thing right now. I'd have to look that up. But yeah, that was all based out of Austin, Texas. So, let's see. Almost to the bottom of the hour. Next thing, if you're not aware of it, on May 1st, A lot of gas stations are changing the fuel mix. I believe this is going to be nationwide. Adding E15 into mixed into more of the fuel. It's already been there, but they're doing a greater percentage of it. Basically, if your car requires you to use that mid-grade fuel for your engine, you're going to want to start using premium. But even the premium, they're saying, might destroy your engine. Let's see, we'll play this quick video here. I think this is another one. Every mechanic I know is bracing for a wave of misfuelling calls starting May 1st. not because the fuel is new, because the label is designed to make you think it isn't. Starting this summer in 1988, that number is the octane rating. It tells you nothing about what's actually in the fuel, and that one missing piece of information is going to send a lot of people home with the wrong gas in their tank, and no idea until something starts breaking. That's not a hypothetical. That's what happens every time a fuel policy changes faster than consumer awareness catches up. The stations aren't required to explain the difference. The pump isn't going to stop you. That job falls to you. Here's what the pump isn't telling you. Regular gas, the stuff you've been using your entire driving life, is E10. 10% ethanol. E15 is 15%. That extra 5% is corn-derived alcohol, and it behaves differently in an engine than gasoline does. The EPA approved this blend for light-duty passenger vehicles from model year 2001 and newer. Daily drivers qualify. But your daily driver is probably not the only engine you own. And this is exactly where the summer of 2026 starts getting expensive for people who aren't paying attention. The EPA's prohibited list for E-15 is longer than most drivers realize. Motorcycles are banned. Boats and marine engines are banned. Lawn mowers, chainsaws, generators, pressure washers, any small off-road equipment are banned. Pre-2001 vehicles are banned. Heavy-duty trucks are banned. That prohibition doesn't disappear just because you grab the nozzle at a discount pump. The un-leaded 88 label at the station doesn't change based on what container you're filling. Grab E15 in a gas can to top off your generator and you've done exactly what the federal government explicitly warns against and your fuel system will tell you about it later. The reason these prohibitions exist is straight forward. Older engines and small engines were never built with the fuel system components or the computer management that allows modern vehicles to compensate for higher ethanol content. The materials used in rubber seals, fuel lines, and carburetor components in those engines react badly to ethanol concentrations above what they were designed for. That damage is cumulative. It doesn't announce itself immediately. It shows up weeks later, right when you need the equipment to work. Think about how people actually fill small equipment. You pull into a station, you grab the cheapest nozzle, you fill your car, and then you fill the gas can sitting in your trunk for the mower at home. If that cheapest nozzle happens to be un-leaded 88, you've just run E15 through equipment the EPA explicitly prohibits it from. Nobody stopped you, the pump didn't warn you, the label was there, but you weren't looking for it. This is the exact scenario playing out at stations across the country starting May 1st. And it's happening to people who consider themselves careful consumers. So why is this happening right now in May 2026? The EPA issued this as an emergency waiver under the Clean Air Act, citing fuel supply disruption from the conflict in the Middle East and crude oil prices climbing above $100 per barrel. Gas prices have followed. The national average has climbed to nearly $4 per gallon. In California, it's sitting above $5.80. in Washington state above $5.30. This is the fifth consecutive summer the EPA has used this emergency mechanism. The waiver runs through May 20th, that's the legal maximum, and officials have said they'll extend it if markets stay stressed. The point is, this isn't a permanent infrastructure change. Right now, only around 3,000 stations carry E15 out of roughly 145,000 retail fuel outlets in the country. Gas buddies Patrick DeHaan put it plainly. That's about 3% of pumps. Most of you won't even see it at your regular station. But the ones who do need to know what they're looking at before they reach for the cheaper nozzle. Here's how you actually identify it. Federal law requires a conspicuous warning label on every E15 dispenser, orange or yellow, stating clearly that this fuel is approved for model year 2001 and newer only. The label is on the dispenser, not the nozzle. At a busy pump, it's easy to miss. You're looking at your phone, the total is running, someone's waiting behind you. The tell is simpler than reading any label. The octane number on the display. Standard Regular is 87. If you see 88, that's E15. One digit is the difference between the right call and a warranty conversation you don't want to have. Some stations use blender pumps, equipment that mixes ethanol and gasoline on site to hit a target blend. At those pumps, the ethanol content of what comes out depends entirely on which blend you select. That makes the octane number on the display the most reliable signal you have. Check it every time. And about that warranty conversation, Consumer Reports pulled the owner's manuals on a 2025 RAM, 1500 and a 2025 Subaru Forester. Both listed 15% ethanol as the maximum approved blend meaning E15 sits right at the ceiling the manufacturer will cover. If your manual specifies E10 as the cap and you've been running E15 through the summer, you've handed the dealer a documented reason to deny a fuel system claim. That's not a technicality. That's the kind of paper trail that costs people real money when something goes wrong and the dealer pulls up the service history. Check your manual before you make this a habit, even in a vehicle that was built well after 2001. And if you're not sure where to find that information, look for the fuel filler door. Many vehicles list the approved ethanol blend right there on the label inside the door. Here's the part the pump is counting on you to skip. The Department of Energy's data is clear. Ethanol carries less energy per gallon than gasoline. E15 delivers roughly 1-2% less energy per gallon than E10. When you see E15 priced 10-25 cents cheaper per gallon, that efficiency gap narrows the real savings. On a 30 mile per gallon vehicle, it's still probably worth it. On a large displacement truck getting 16 miles per gallon, run the numbers for your actual driving before you call it a win at the pump. The price at the pump is not the whole calculation. It never is. Cheaper per gallon and cheaper per mile are two different numbers. And the station's advertising E15 are only showing you one of them. The last thing mechanics want you to know before summer hits is phase separation. And this one matters most if you own anything that sits between uses. Ethanol absorbs water from the air. In a fuel tank that is not being cycled regularly, a boat, a lawnmower, or a stored generator, that ethanol pulls in moisture, and the water-ethanol mixture separates from the gasoline and settles at the bottom of the tank. That's the layer your engine pulls from first. In a small engine without computer management to compensate, the result is rough running. corrosion, and sometimes a unit that will not start at all after sitting for a few weeks. Boat mechanics see this every spring. An engine sat all winter with ethanol blended fuel in the tank, moisture worked its way in, and now the owner is looking at a carburetor rebuild before the season even starts. And that build does not come cheap. The frustrating part is that the damage happened months earlier with a fuel choice that felt like a deal at the time. If you are filling anything that will not be used continuously this summer, ethanol content is not a minor detail. The smart buyer version of all of this is one question. What else is in your garage? Your 2015 sedan running E15 at the right station at the right price is probably a fine call. Your outboard, your motorcycle, your generator, your chainsaw, those are the things that will tell you about this mistake slowly over the course of a season, right when you need them to work. Smart buyers don't just look at the price on the pump. They look at the full cost of the decision fuel economy, equipment risk, warranty exposure, and they make the call with all of it in front of them. That's the difference between saving money at the pump and paying for it somewhere else. The pump is offering you a discount this summer. The deal is real for some of you. For others, the label is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Look like something it isn't. Now you know the difference. And if someone you know has a boat, a motorcycle, or a garage full of small engines, they need to hear this before May 1st. Also older engines, collector cars, the damage is real on the parts of the carburetor, on the On the hoses and tubes it breaks it down the more ethanol that's in there it breaks down faster It can cause leaks so there's fun things your carburetor gets dirty especially newer lawnmowers And I'm gonna say especially no lawnmowers. Yeah Yeah, go ahead Is it because Ed that they're putting that ethanol in it? Is it does a meaning to destroy your vehicle equipment the government is is that right? If you gave them the benefit of the doubt, no, but I would say yes. They want to create, see, they want you to buy more product. So, yeah, on one side, they're doing it to make it look like the gas shortage isn't as bad as it is because they can have more fuel out there. with a greater mix of ethanol in the fuel tanks. Myself, whenever I go and buy stuff like my lawn mower or chainsaw, I will go and I'll use a red nozzle, which is supposed to be 100% pure gas at most gas stations. But I have been at a couple recently where the red nozzle was even saying it has like 10% ethanol in it. So you can't necessarily trust it. You gotta make sure that you read this stuff that's out there before you go and pump. And yeah, just be careful and know what you're getting and putting in your vehicle or in your tools. Go ahead. I'm sure glad I heard this, them saying this on this program because I worked with that DoorDash and I've been seeing some price a drop. I better be aware of that. My truck is a 2001 Ford Ranger. I better watch that. Yeah, I was doing that. I was doing the same kind of work for extra money before my truck broke down. I know exactly what you're doing there, but yeah, just make sure that your truck can handle it. Like he said, go through your manual, see what it says. E15 is like at the top for some vehicles, older vehicles that are not turbo injected or using some of the older vehicles. Oh, that was a vehicle, a motorcycle. I'm outside, and I'm standing. the winter and they threw away literally things of brand new lawnmower. Self-propelled forward assist on it. I needed a new lawnmower at the time. I saw it in the dumpster and I was like, well, I'll take it out and see if I can get it to work. It had good compression. So I knew it had to be something, you know, with the carburetor. Usually that's what it is. And it was a carburetor in the fuel tank. The fuel tank had the gumminess in the bottom of the fuel tank, even though it had fuel in it. And the carburetor was filthy. Terrible. Oh, I'm getting an echo back. Okay, I'm going to mute you that way we don't hear. Is it me? Yeah, it's you. Okay, I'm guessing you're calling in. Okay, okay, okay. You're getting an echo? You probably get it, I just unmuted. What about, I have access to, what is that? recreation fuel that's the hundred percent gasoline it's probably about That's five that's probably five bucks a gallon instead of four dollars a gallon well that that I'm starting to look at that as well That's for long term. That's rated How long do you think that's good for probably two years without without without Preserve without without fuel stabilizer anything I started saying Is the recreational field good for everything? If I got 2014 and 2012 vehicles, wouldn't that recreational field be good for everything? It's pretty much supposed to be, although there are some engines like the aluminum blocks, like I know my wife's little Kia Soul, we call it a freaking clown car. It needs the higher end gasoline in it because if you run the other stuff it'll warp it. And the E15 stuff is terrible for that too. So yeah, that's like we're looking at it. You can't go the solid gas but we're having to shift over to the most expensive on the end there. Just stay away from this stuff. But people who aren't aware of it, they're gonna... They're going to ruin their fuel injectors. The fuel injectors imply relatively new equipment. I've got a five-year-old lawn mower. That would be good for what is that? That would be good. Recreational fuel would be good for that. And chainsaw. Can you get into fuel because of its durability? Is there anything you would recommend recreational fuel for? I'm looking about recreational fuel for like I'm going to empty out all my old fuel that's probably a year old that has stabilizer in it. That's what I'm going to do. May 15th, May 1st I'm going to stop using, I'm going to empty out all my fuel. I started up bringing all my fuel. But what do you, how good do you recommend? What can, can recreational fuel get you in trouble? Not as far as I know unless your engine says specifically to use a certain octane level. The recreational fuel is... What do you think the octane, well I'm using the lowest octane for everything. So it's probably going to be minimum, it's probably going to have the minimum octane level while the, it's high in the pump. The thing is to know what your device your tool your vehicle uses even stressed it in the video You know read read your user manual most things I'm gonna start looking I know where my user man is I'm start digging around for right now, and I just got that moving it around. Oh here It is I got it right here. I just found it. It's our look I move it too many times Yeah, I'm gonna start looking at it. See what it says I have a user manual for a 2014 Malibu and a 2012 F110, F150 and a lot more in chainsaw. I am thinking about going for rec fuel for saving fuel and hopefully you don't get into trouble. Recreation fuel works good in recreation devices and in tools. You know, you've got a two cycle engine, you're going to mix oil with the fuel anyway. I'd still use recreational fuel. You can get away with using the E15 fuel in a lawn mower and chainsaw. It's just if you're going to do that, no, you're going to have to do a lot more preventive maintenance on the system. If I absolutely had to run with the E15 gas and a lot more, I would make sure that I could run it until it was empty. I understand, especially I run everything empty when it comes to storing for the winter. Empty is a nice way to run everything, especially if you aren't using it much. Now some things you can get away with that with, but remember anything that has an electric fuel pump in the gas tank. The electric fuel pump has to be submerged because the fuel is the lubricant for the fuel pump. If you try to run anything low for too long, that's how your fuel pump burns out in a car or in a riding lawnmower. Or even in a motorcycle, if you run it too close to being empty, you'll burn up the fuel pump in the fuel tank. That gets to be another costly repair that people don't think about. My wife just found out about this and so now she understands why I don't like the car getting down to a quarter of a tank. Okay, thanks a lot. Thanks for the phone call. You're welcome. That's something to be aware of. With the recreational fuel, what I was saying before is Some of the recreational fuel, the red ones which are down here where I am in Lubbock, it's the red nozzles. They are supposed to be 100% gasoline. They're not supposed to be additive in it, but there are some gas stations. I think it's like the circle caves that I've come across with that. The red nozzle, which is the recreation fuel, is saying that it's got either 5% or 10% ethanol in it now. So it's like, OK, well, that's not what that's supposed to be. And people who are used to that color coordination, you know, red pure gas, blues mix, and then the green is the diesel. Although, I think that's weird, too. I can't think of any gas station around me down here that has kerosene. But in Michigan, the blue nozzle was always a kerosene. I'll have to ask dad if any of the gas stations up there still carry kerosene I would think they would because there's a lot of kerosene heaters in Michigan But down here, I can't think of a single gas station around me that carries kerosene But there's another thing to look at I don't know what they're doing with kerosene in the More northern states that'd be something else to look at See if they're doing anything with that fuel So here we go, we're going to move on to the next subject. But hey, I'm glad we got some interaction out of that. I know my wife wasn't aware that that was happening on May 1st either. When I told her, she was like, no, that can't be real. It's like, no, it's real. So I figured, put it out there for everybody because I know You hear about stuff and you think everybody knows what's going on and that that's one of the one of the for instances You know you might have heard about it It might seem like big news to you And it seems like it would be something that everybody would have heard about across the nation because this is nationwide news This is why guys if you see something like that, and you haven't heard anybody talking about it post it in the discord or call in and let everybody know what's going on with this this stuff because This is going to be heartache for a lot of people who are not prepared for it. This is going to ruin boat motors and riding lawn mowers. It's going to ruin your push mower in your yard if you're not careful. Again, if you get a carburetor problem with it, I really recommend people just take a little bit to watch on YouTube. How to clean a carburetor. I see so many people waste money down here that throw away lawnmowers because they can't get them to start. About 95% of the time the problem with the lawnmower when they're throwing it away, it's just a dirty carburetor. If you know how to clean it, if you know how to even jury rig it to run a little run with the vent open a little more. I've done that more than once where I've taken a zip tie and just zip tied the carburetor's vent open a little bit more and lo and behold, the thing runs like a charm and I got it for free so I don't care if I fix it, I could run it until I break it. But preferably, I'd use it like that until I can get the part to fix it properly. But yeah, carburetors, everybody used to know how to rebuild a carburetor. Hell, they taught us how to do it in public schools. I know they don't do it now. A lot of the kids coming out of the public pool system, if you were to sit them down in front of a motor, they would not know what to do with it because they don't have shop, they don't have auto shop, they don't have metal cutting or carpentry or any of that stuff that we used to have. But I remember Tech Ed was one of my favorite classes. Some of the first stuff I built electronically was in the Tech Ed class, which I know I guarantee you they don't support that class the way they did. In fact, when I was there they were already cutting funding from the Tech Ed class, and they were doing all kinds of cool stuff. The class before us had built a point-to-point laser communication device talking over a laser beam. Mr. Briggs. Yeah, Mr. Briggs was a teacher of that class, man. He was one of my favorite teachers. He was also my drafting instructor. I loved him. Anyway, moving along here. I'm sure everybody's heard about the Southern Poverty Law Center stuff, too. This would run Don't Walk, though, his take on it. I do think it's a little hilarious. But it also, this is what we talk about when we say controlled opposition. Like, they set up Try to set up both sides and they fund the opposition that way there's an excuse to have. They're them to have power. That's literally what they've been caught doing red handed. They're putting it out there though which means they've got another organization probably that's stepping up from the other side. The Southern Poverty Law Center has been the less hammered. There's probably going to be The same thing from the Republican side eventually year. We just don't know the name of it yet. But I guarantee you it's going to pretty much be the exact same thing. And it's probably going to be a little more draconian because both sides are of the same coin when it comes to DC. But it is a little funny to, you know, see them caught with their pants down. So here we go. This is the Southern Poverty Law Center. You probably know them as the the Democrats' favorite self-appointed arbiter of who is and isn't a hate group. Recently, the New York Times wrote, the law center, which is based in Alabama, began in 1971, earning a reputation for battling the Ku Klux Klan in court and helping reporters and law enforcement keep tabs on far-right domestic extremists. More recently, however, the SPLC has earned the ire of conservatives by criticizing a number of organizations, including Moms for Liberty, the Family Research Council, and Turning Point USA, that many on the right consider to be squarely within the American mainstream. Ah, the ire of conservatives. Look, obviously they should be pretty pissed off that they were put under the same extremist label as the Klan. But, you know, as it turns out... According to the Justice Department, the SPLC was projecting just a little bit. Here's acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. Today, a few minutes ago, in the middle district of Alabama, a grand jury returned an 11-count indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. That's right, the organization that literally exists to tell us who the bad guys are is getting slapped with an 11 count federal indictment for fraud and money laundering. According to the charges in the indictment, the SPLC is a non-profit entity that purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred by reporting on extremist groups and conducting research to inform law enforcement groups with the goal of dismantling these groups. As the indictment describes, the SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred. So the multi-million dollar nonprofit whose entire business model relies on the existence of extremist groups was literally paying to create extremism. According to the indictment, between 2014 and 2023, SPLC paid at least $3 million to eight individuals at least. These individuals were affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, United Clans of America, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations-affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, the National Socialist Party of America, Nazis, and the American Front. I mean, I knew that the SPLC was rolling in cash, but I had no idea that they were running a white supremacist stimulus package. As the indictment lays out, after SPLC paid members of these extremist groups, it created work products that reported on these activities that the members participated in or contributed to. And to that end, it was doing the exact opposite of what it's told its donors it was doing, not dismantling extremism, but funding it. When they weren't just monitoring these groups, they were bankrolling them. Again, to the tune of at least $3 million. I'm sure that wealthy progressive donors sending their checks to the SPLC will be absolutely thrilled to know that their money was funding literal Nazis. One troubling example is that the SPLC was paying a member of the leadership group that planned to unite the right protests in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 that resulted in the death of one person and injured dozens more. This particular person being paid by the SPLC allegedly received approximately $270,000 over the course of eight years. Yeah, you heard that right. Charlottesville. The exact event that the media has used for nearly a decade to smear the right as some kind of domestic terrorist. The SPLC was secretly paying one of the guys organizing it and then treating him as a field source. F37 was a member of the Online Leadership Chat Group that planned the 2017 Unite the Right event in Charlottesville, Virginia and attended the event at the direction of the SPLC. F37 made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. Between 2015 and 2023, the SPLC secretly paid F37 more than $270,000 under the supervision of the SPLC. Think about that. The SPLC was practically acting as a content manager for a white supremacist and then paying him to organize transportation to the most infamous Nazi rally of the decade. As it turns out... bankrolling manufactured political crises and nationwide racial division, it isn't cheap. F-30 led the National Socialist Party of America with the former director of- All right, well that video is a little longer than we wanted to but you guys get some of the gist of it. There are several people who've covered it. That one in particular is posted over on the Discord. I know Furentes covered it too. A couple of the other guys have got more detail on this. You guys know I like Run, Don't Walk, Take on some of the news. I think he does it with a little satire, which is good. Most of the time it's fun listening to what he's got to say. Anyway, go check that out if you want to hear more. Again, just look it up. Southern Poverty Law Center, caught. It was their cookie jar, but they were giving cookies to the people, you know, they were supposedly keeping an eye on funding them. Like we said, controlled opposition. The intelligence report is coming up next. Stay tuned everybody. We'll be back next week at the same time, but it will be May. So here we go. On our way out. If I can get things to start here. Let's see. There we go. Alright, the intelligence report will be... ...two when we get back. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold.

Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children can send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedom for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the third hour of the intel report and the last hour for the work week here. I'm Mark Cornke, one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, south, northwest, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. We're on satellite because a whole bunch of really good people, thank you, people I've actually sat down and worked with a little bit now for the last couple of months, first collect our signal and then rebroadcast via satellite all over the planet, analog and digital. We're on a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States, and it is Friday. Sinko D'Amo Day and Quartermaster Friday. It is the...no way, yes way, it's the 24th of April. It is the 18th year of Open Office, an In-Your-Face Fabian Socialist, and the Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K, 20... 20... Old Earth Calendar 2026 Battle for the Republic Book 3 a dark the dark anniversary very because all those people have betrayed America that were in the regime Well the new regime made up of the Zionists they were busy killing off all the characters who thought they had a deal and had betrayed the country Typical and always what happens always with regard to fools who think they can make a deal the lying conniving satanic, pedo, queer, devil, you know, Israel and the kosher mafia. So anyway, it has been a very busy week. We're now into the weekend. Again, we went from the work week to the work weekend. It is raining outside right now up and down the state. Nothing exciting. It's just a good spring rain. We don't need it in our location. We take it, but our water reservoirs are all at capacity but not overflowing. The streams are up to the creeks and the streams and the rivers are at their limit. Now, with this rain, we'll probably see some more flooding on the Raisin River. We definitely will see more flooding also on the Huron. and the tit of a wassey, but the tit of a wassey is really well regulated just as most of the Huron is. The raisin is a squiggly thing with dams up and down the network, but only in the lower end down towards the Monroe Basin do we see significant open plane flooding. Otherwise, it comes up, but everybody's pretty well ready for it. The banks are high enough that even when it does overflow, it's not by much. Again, the raisin, if you look at the map of it here in Michigan, it's in the southeastern part of Michigan. Look for the raisin. You can do a search, computer. Raisin river, like the grape raisin. Okay. It's a tongue-in-cheek thing because when it's summer, it drops down to, not a trickle, but typical short water knee height. And then when the rains come, everything in this flat water basin area gravitates to the water chute and the rest is history as they say yee-haw. So pay attention. If you didn't get your sandbags, you should have. But in the meantime, just deal with it as best you can. And if all else fails, break out the flat bottom boat and load up the valuables. Or take everything to the second floor. Because you're probably not going to see anything happen to that, but the first might be screwed. So again, we don't have that extreme, but yeah, you never know. There's places down river here where things can happen. All of the offshoots of the built-in irrigation pipe is just pouring water out of the farm fields right now. I mean, literally, it looks like you have turned on a tap on a fire hydrant. That's what it looks like. It's amazing to me how much fresh water, and it has to pass through the earth in order to get to those evacuation points. But on like 223, what was it, the last couple of days, for a good two, three miles, there are new irrigation points where they pull the water off the field with sub-pipe. And going into the ditches, literally each one was a deluge. It was shooting out three feet from the pipe and then arcing down into the ditch. So we're talking significant useful water pressure there. You could actually mount little hydroelectric units to each of those, and you could be making power 24-7 with that for as long as it runs. But it's done, it's done. But just a little example of things people are taught not to think about rather than, hmm, look at that, how can I use it? So, other things real quick here. We're heading to the weekend for Camp Emerson, New Camp Staso, Camp Wayland North, Yogyamawranges, Nagahitcham, Fox, Wolf, and also Rustic. This weekend that name will change. It will not be the Rustic Anonymous anymore. We'll have a name. And also Camp Betcher and then Fort Benning, Michigan. Yes, we do have two weddings and we have what is a baby shower that is going to be over at Fort Benning at the chapel. And if you are with the Colonial Marine militia, Michigan militia at large, or with the Wolverines, you can book an event there. Weddings are cool. Few rolls, we've done few rolls there already too. So just a heads up, that is a facility, it's a militia facility for you. And I'm looking at what else we have. There's nothing that's scheduled this weekend that's urgent. Because of the weather conditions, take extra rain gear. Most everybody is overbooked. We have a lot of units coming up from out of state. And I think we even have some Canadian friends stopping by. Hold on. Give me a second here. I've got to do this right or I'll never get it right. And we have people at camp. We have people from Canada. We have a detachment of individuals who have come down and say hi from, they're going to be at Nagi Hicham, this weekend. I think they're already there. They're probably listening, wondering how are you guys on the radio? Well, we have our micro AM and FM radio stations at every one of our training sites. They're regulated to our area of operation. You control signal, you control antenna. If you're listening right now, it's one of those many things you need to start looking at quite seriously. Let's not forget that you can also use an AM or FM one-way transmitter to send signals to everybody else in a team. So the new micro FM radios are actually quite efficient. And they're all 12-volt, as you will see. Using a wall wart to power them, again, to go from AC to DC. The interesting thing is, again, we're looking at 1 watt, 7 watt, 8 watt, 9 watt, 10, 15, I think 17.5. There's a number of different size transmitters that you can purchase. Yes, 25 and 30 watt, and they are variable output too. So again, there's too many to cover in a moment while I'm trying to talk about this. With this type of a radio unit you could signal two people in the field. It'd be one way, but it would be a way to direct in what is an anonymous way because your receivers would only be receiving. They wouldn't be transmitting and sending out a signal. They'd only be passively collecting something to think about there, which eliminates a whole bunch of the signals issues with regard to minimizing your footprint on the battlefield. Now we've been experimenting with this for decades, so we're pretty well up to speed on using this technique. The big thing is picking up all the small AM and FM radios and get your hands on for that purpose, including the older transistor radios, which are fantastic because again, built like a brick dog house, 9 volt battery or a couple of double A's depending on the year they were made. I will remind you most of your Walkman radios, your Walkman cassette players or your Walkman CD players have AM and FM on board. So if you see a Walkman in a freebie box, grab it. Now you're still going to, and anything else that's radio related because you'll probably find the earbuds or earphones or whatever else there. Earbuds are cool because they're lightweight. The big thing here again is that You can use that unit for collecting signal. And it's also throwaway. If you didn't pay anything for it, you're not going to cry about losing it if something happens to it in the field. Right. So again, I'm coming up with solutions rather than pissing and moaning and whining about the problem. I'm like, what? What do we do? Oh, let's see. What else do we have? Very quickly before we move farther, we were talking about the Miller case, Miller versus US case, which for the longest time was always brought up as the case to site about gun control, pro gun control. You'll notice it's missing from the vocabulary because all of these asshats have had to change their attack venue, their direction, and they've actually had to juxtaposition every aspect of what the prostitutes are using in the Fed court. So heads up again, and everybody out there needs to be studying Miller versus US because it has a very colored history as we reviewed and we're talking about during the two-hour block earlier. And I suggest you listen. If you didn't hear the two hours before this, it's in our archives. It's also over at Bitch You. And there are a number of other locations where people, I think people are also posting our program on X. So it's on X, we're on Bitchhoot, we're in a number of other venues with other sites that, oh by the way I'm banned from, but other people are posting the program, which is kind of fascinating, always. So interestingly enough, again, The most important element of this is that the ruling took place with the common law still in place. Remember that the Miller case is right after the passing and in fact during the process of the development of the 1933-1934 NFA, National Firearms Act, which in reality was a gun confiscation act. That was its purpose. Remember you had the War Powers Act that declared war on the American people. You had the Gold Act to confiscate the gold. You tried to disarm the population or put regulation on the population because people were going to shoot your ass if you tried to steal their gold. So they had to convince everybody it was futile to resist. Well, some people did and were very successful, which is why they had to back off. Plus, we were headed towards the fabrication of World War II, which they needed to cover the fact that the Great Depression never ended. They got us into deeper debt and the Jewish mafia was able to take greater control over the country while they shipped everybody overseas that was patriotic. Meanwhile, the backstabbing Zionists were here screwing the country every step of the way, as they always do. Whether you're here or not, by the way. So, one of the other things here this week is the whole discussion. The Iraq-Iran war thing has become a fog. And there's nothing to be believed with regard to Trump and Trump or any of these people opening their face about it. There are no negotiations. I believe that is true. There are none. I think they're lying completely about that. And then they're going to try to... It's what the Jews always do. They will blame you for the stuff they do. This whole scam with the eight individuals and it turns out they well, yeah Well, I guess they were AI produced images So if you if you heard about this supposedly Donald Trump saved these eight women and it's like well by the way It was really a law. I mean a fabrication. I mean nothing was real But what's interesting about it is here you have the Jews doing the exact same thing that they did when desert dust Part one began, remember? And they sure got babies from the incubators! I saw it, I saw it! Who are you? I am the daughter of the Coedia Baxter in the United States. You ever left this country? No, I've been here in the US this whole time. So you didn't see any babies being thrown from any incubators? I take the fifth! You're not American, you can't take the fifth. Well, you could, I guess, if you want to, because we all know you're lying anyway. Well, they knew they were lying, but they went along with the lie anyway, remember that? And they threw their babies from the incubators. The whole thing was a fabrication from top to bottom. And it was scripted by liars, working for liars, who were helping other liars out. You see how that works? So now it's like, oh my God, there are these eight women. They don't care about these women. Donald Trump let Jeff E. Epstein rape women, eat women. I mean in the literal sense, not other kinds of stuff. But think about it. It's like, yeah, Donald Trump's really worried about those women. Hey, you want to shank a girl? I'm sorry, would Epstein have eaten? Want a shank of jerky? Here, we've got some jerky in bags in the refrigerator. Yeah, typically you don't put jerky in the refrigerator because you dried it so you wouldn't have to put it in the refrigerator. You can just put it in bags and it's safe and just fine. Unless it's people meat like either child meat or little girl meat or woman meat. So I don't think Donald Trump too worried about those eight women overseas and whatever liars pull that BS out of their arse that are with the you know the Zionist slash the Israeli Mossad that are doing the propaganda for you know Trumpa dump. It's pretty sad. But we're all supposed to be stupid and gobble it up like dog vomit. Well here's how it works. They've killed many many many many many times those eight little women with all the bombs they've already dropped over the last 60 days or so. So you know stuff it. Well we saved these women! Really? How do you know you didn't bomb those women? Well we couldn't have bombed those women. They're not real. Oh god, I was saying what I should have been thinking and thinking what I was supposed to say. Oh damn it. Oh god. Yeah, see how that works? Well of course I know that we didn't bomb them. Because they're not real. Well, we go on, well sir, surely that didn't help the program, you know what I mean, sir? Remember, the emperor has no clothes. Do not challenge him if he makes a mistake. The emperor has no clothes. But you will not tell anyone that the emperor has no clothes. Ooooh, that's kind of dangerous. Or in other words, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww However, there are a few other things with regard to the discussion about combat casualties. Now we already know, and we've talked about this forever, that they've lied pretty much for as long as we've been in conflict. And gradually, the actual numbers come out. Best example is the actual combat casualties from the Battle of the Bulge era. You mean to say they've been lying the whole time about that? Yep, turns out they were lying the whole time about the actual casualty levels. with regard to the Battle of the Bulge. Well, how many years ago was that? Well, I don't know, 44, 45. Let's see, wow. That's like, oh my God, that's like 80 years ago. Yeah, and they were lying the whole time about it. They finally caught up to things. How do you like that? They finally caught up. But the same is true just about every other activity or action we've been in. I've said before, number one, Unlike World War II where you actually had a declared war and you know they threw everything into it including the kitchen sink and every 19 year old and 18 year old they could kill on the American side too. What's interesting about it is that again we get into Korea and it's been argued for many years that they completely lied about the actual number of casualties. The same is true although I think we have better documented evidence and proofs with Vietnam because many people who were the movers and shakers of the people who were participant because of the nature of how they were being incarcerated and who they witnessed as prisoners, they were able to document quite accurately all of the people that didn't show up on the wall later. Everybody tried to do the right thing, but the system kept threatening to murder or attack or the Jews, of course, the controlled mafia, controlled media mafia. would make a point of systematically attacking the individuals who were trying to bring forward the truth. Now it got out, but it was screaming and kicking, and we had to fight tooth and nail to make that happen. An example is, again, for every casualty we had in Vietnam. Remember, we had a lot of activity around Vietnam. And that actually includes Burma, also Laos, Cambodia, And even into China, as I've told you many times, I served with people who went into China. In fact, they didn't talk about it a lot. We talked about it privately. But being in either SF or in the SEALs at the time when they were doing this, most of them were in the SEALs, they were in what were considered to be deep reconnaissance penetration activities. They weren't supposed to be identified going in and they weren't supposed to be identified going out. The problem is you're moving through a big population area even though there's jungle and other things to offer cover and also mountainous terrain. All you have to do is run into one person who knows you're not supposed to be there because there ain't no round eyes sitting out here in the back 40 and then they call out the hounds. And quite a few units were destroyed either by treachery or by, again, that incident in the field. And those men were written off as casual keys of accidents, any number of things, anything but talking about the fact that they were in another country during the Vietnam War that they claimed we weren't in during the Vietnam War. And it's no different right now. There are people who will never be known and I have a problem with that. Like I said, declare war, be done with it. If you're not going to declare war, shut up. Don't tell me that you're for justice and freedom and you know all the other cliches from the enemy side, you know, the Epstein-Pervert, Pedo slash flesh eater blood drinkers, come on. We should know better. In fact, everybody does which is why there's a lot of people are having conversations about that. I've noticed last two days about well, People aren't showing up to vote. Well, they are kind of figuring that it doesn't make any difference which one is in there. I think they both still want to drink our blood, eat our children, and for a regular weekly snack, because children are like the filet mignon, slash the caviar, eating one of us during the week because you have hamburger during the week and you have the fancy food on the weekend for the special meals, right? So, I think everybody sees it, and they're right now in brain fart. A lot of people are in brain fart just on that subject. And that's creating the difficulties that they're now seeing with trying to get everybody out there! Now, I will repeat again, America only party, America only party, America only party, we need to do this. The green hat, we need a green hat. We are not going to capture, there is no, quote unquote, civil war with MAGA. MAGA's gone. OK, MAGA is just gone. You don't have to worry about it. It's not anything to cry about. It's not anything to fuss about. But we don't want that. We don't want the red hat. We don't want the blue hat. We want an American hat. And to do that, we have to come up with an American symbol. We have to have something, well, it's still a hat. But color school and green is a good choice. So my argument is that should be the direction we go. And again, America only with small letters, all others, not at all. That should be our goal. That's what we need to be focusing on. That's where we need to be with regard to operations right now. And we need to do it double time. Now, what I'm going to do is we're going to cover that more in a minute. But we're at the bottom of the hour. Ed should be waiting there with his finger on the trigger almost. I know, I'm going to hold off, I have to say this because I had three different people, okay? We have a Judas Priest piece that we'll probably play. Don't, forgive me, but I've got a few other things that are on the list before I get there, okay? Oh, this is an oblique piece, Jeff Rotol Steel Monkey. Jeff Rotol, Ed, Steel Monkey. And then, hold on here, forgive me, I have to change out, yes. Jeff Rotel, Steel Monkey. And then number two is going to be INXS, Pretty Vegas. Pretty Vegas. INXS, as we know, but INXS. You know how that works. The letters mean the words. The words mean the letters. Yeah, go ahead and call her quick. Hey, why don't we instead of green, why don't we use the color of yellow and green and have it don't grab me? We'll talk about that. We'll be back. Remember, it's like the dial turning on Pink Floyd. We sure were here going into the title track part of the album. I've heard that, you know, etc. You ever listened to the album? It sometimes means something. Anyway, we are headed to the end of the work weekend now. And a quick reminder, don't forget that you're going to be wet. Batteries are going to have a problem with that too. Weather is not good for electrical power. One of the old tricks, though, as easy as anything, is Mr. Ziploc bag is your friend. Interestingly enough, you put another weatherized strip or body over top of the radio, poking a little hole carefully in a Ziploc bag and having a little rubber band handy, you can operate the radio through that Ziploc bag just fine. The rubber band is so what you do is you pull the rubber band down over the antenna down to the base and affix the edge of the plastic around that with the rubber band, not going to hurt anything. But that's going to nominate 99.9999999% of your water issues. What's really interesting, you never see them, but during Vietnam, and Tom, I don't hear you there, I think. Hold on. During Vietnam, they made vinyl covers for everything. You may have seen the vinyl magazine pockets with lead. closures. Anybody ever see those? It was actual lead. The lead's worth money, okay? But they were vinyl. They weren't plastic the way you see the chip we have now. They were vinyl, very thick. They were waterproof. They were water resistant at the very least, quite to the extreme. Well, they also made comparable pockets towards the middle to the end of Vietnam, and we used them after Vietnam, for radio equipment. And I've pointed out that when we were using the PRC-77 with what was an up link and down link modem, the keyboard would sit on your left or right knee depending on how you wanted to mount it. And that was a dealer's choice thing. We had an umbilical that came down from the modem box to your leg. And you had a bubble cover key system that was water sealed. And then on top of that, they made another vinyl cover. And when I say vinyl, I'm not talking thin. That stuff is heavy. And the problem is that we got very frustrating if you tried to use both because that bubble was already fairly thick if you remember what those old keypads were like. But those were weatherized keypads. And they also made a vinyl cover for the radio. Again, pre-poked holes with a little kind of like a diaphragm thing. So when you stuck everything through it, where all the controls weren't everything, and most of those stayed inside the bag. But the antenna had to pop out and they made accommodations for both of the fixtures. That was of course, and more weight added to the equipment. And the PRC-77 was actually a pretty rock solid for a water seal across the board. Didn't have a problem usually with that unless they were tired and old because they'd been beaten, run for 10 years, or 8 or 9 years. from the middle of Vietnam to the end and overlapping with that we had the AN PRC 25s which are basically the far less sophisticated but exact same system as the PRC 77. In both cases they made covers for everything and they were clear, they were milky clear even when they were brand new. Kind of like a gray smoke color, well not gray smoke, like cigarette stain smoke like you get on a window, that was the color of the plastic of the vinyl that was used. So anyway, your Ziploc bags are a lot lighter, easy to replace, don't cost hardly anything, and an investment you should make for oh so many things. And this weekend is a good example about, well, why they come in so handy when the time comes. So just a heads up there. Now we had a caller, I think we had Tom there. Go ahead, Tom jump in there again, please. Oh my God, Tom fell over and died on us. Tom, are you there? Oh, sorry, I forgot, Mrs. Oh, there we go. Talking to yourself. It's okay. Yeah, it was. So anyways, I have to say green because, well, think we're part of the green party. Why not do like a yellow and black or yellow and green like don't share a meat flag and... Well, the yellow and... Yeah, the yellow and black would be more like the Rangers, their coloration, you know, like the Ranger tab or the Raider tabs and all of that. The green is because it's just so distinct and still tactical. I mean the choice would be which green do you want to go with. Of course as soon as you do this, if you think they hate the red hats, just watch and see what happens when the Jewish controlled press finds out you're using the evil green hats. Oh my God! Actually it wouldn't make any difference what color you picked. The other thing about this is, again, yellow, here's the reason, yellow not now. For the banners themselves that don't try to meet banner, that's cool because that's a single piece of heraldry. The problem, unfortunately, is in modern times red and yellow is typically been the communists. And now immediately some people out there listening are Marines and they go, well Mark, the Marine Corps are red and yellow. Yeah, I know, but let me ask you something. Since the whole first time around with Trump with the red hats, how many people have you seen wearing red Marine Corps hats? Think about that. The subconscious process there is such that on the one side, people don't want to wear a red hat because the shoe size IQ Fruit Loop Left is, you know, frothing at the mouth will attack you from behind only to realize too late that it didn't say MAGA or anything like that on the hat. And people had that experience. red and yellow for the Communists, those are their colors. Okay, Communist China still has it up there. The old Jewish run USSR Communist flag was red and yellow also. Now, yellow would work. I understand yellow base and using, it could be yellow and black, it could be yellow and white, but I still think the green. Number one, it kind of gets the point across, and for those who haven't gotten up to speed about the concept of militia, Well, at least think it's an ORV thing, you know what I mean? So we get it motivated towards the marshal process, which is what we're trying to do. And it's distinct from both sides. You can't confuse it with the blue. You're not going to confuse it with the red. So it's a good idea. I mean, it's a good question. Why not? That's just my discussion on the subject, but it's not anchored. I mean, still, we need to come up with something and very quickly stick to it, though. In red, we don't need to, people are already doing this, we had the MAGA hats in red. And now you have the America First. Well, let me point this out again of what I said about America First. It's not a good logo. Well, what's wrong with it? Well, it's real simple. America First implies that there are other jackasses in line for your money. You may be America First, but there's a whole lot of son of a bitches out there that already have been betraying you for years and they claim they were for America and they've stolen this country blind for the Jewish mob. So I don't really think that America First makes sense because it means there's other people in line for your money and you know what happened the last time you agreed to that? The last time you agreed to that, they kicked your ass out of the way and they stole you blind. So, that's not working. It's got to be America only. All others, not at all. That's one thing I will not separate from. We've already seen the facade, the fakery of America first. They weren't. There are a whole bunch of these Zionist shills that are all these fakes we have in our country right now. These characters, they are not for America first. They will never be. They will lie right to your face about it. They will be so happy because they are bringing Satan to earth. They are excited about the idea because they are worshipping Satan. And they want Satan here, so it's like, nope, they're not with you. That's the last person you want behind you, for that matter. You'll feel a sharp sting between your shoulder blades, and you'll need this big, sharp, pointy blade sticking out your front through the sternum there. Yeah, that dagger in the back is kind of embarrassing, especially when it comes from people that are as fruit loop as some of these characters are. So I guess the big thing is we can still be in a discussion about it, and thank you for bringing it up. Because I'm sure people are asking, why green? Well, because it's the color nobody's picked so far. Yes, I know there's the Green Party. For all of us that are older, we know about the German Socialist Green Party, but eh, they're a nowhere thing. In fact, they've killed their country off, so I'm not too worried. They're not really out there in force or in any way a challenge to our authority over the heraldry. No, it's not yours. It's ours. We were there for... No, you weren't. Shut up. Sit over the corner. Drink your, you know, drink your broccoli shake. Sit in your kimono there and sing, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener. How's that sound? To paraphrase a demolition man, remember? Yeah, sitting over the corner drinking a broccoli shake and well, wearing a kimono and singing, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer Wiener. I don't think I'll be part of that. Although I don't mind jingles. Don't think that's wrong. You know, I'm into music anyway. The reason you want to be an Oscar Mayer weiner, because Oscar Mayer was a Jew. Nah, the last thing. Well, then probably some of us were in that. They do like eating the white people. No, they like eating the weiners. That's right. They like wieners in many strange places. Oi, gevolk. So again, oh wow. Thank you. I appreciate that, guys. Something just came in. We got people saying hi from the different training sites. We've got a bunch of people. We do have the Canadians are up at camp nagahitchum and everybody's saying hi they're from the middle part of the country they're not I guess they're on the edge, the farthest western edge of Ontario is where they're from. Yeah, in fact I'll probably get a picture tomorrow somebody will one word face to face oh no don't do that. So we'll see what we can do. Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff that good stuff going on by the way not all bad stuff. We know anything coming out of the distance, criminals can't trust it at all, don't believe any of it. Pretty much how can you tell when they're lying, it's when their mouth's moving. But otherwise, there's a lot of other good stuff going on across the country. Uh oh, fire one, fire for effect. There we go. Okay, we close that out over on the other side. And again, I think I'm not going to be, well, we'll see, I'll leave it on standby with the alternate side. They're still there. I checked on the, for instance, on the Curad sterile meta strip wound closure strips. There are five at least different sizes left in stock. They're over in the clearance section under wound care at ShopMedVet.com, ShopMedVet.com, ShopMedVet.com on the magazines. I guess you guys listened to what I said because I went over to check the RTGparts.com out. and pretty much all the High Point mags were cleared out along with a bunch of other really good mag deals that were there. Some of the deals were more than one magazine but it's all they had in that lot. So if you go to RTGparts.com when you get there go to the One Of's Last Of's. It's a separate category and go through each page and look to see if there's anything there that might be useful for your weapons because it will be one-of-a-kind. There's some Smith and Wesson mags, there's a number of star mags, not too many but there are a few, and even those could be gone. I mean there were some really good buys on these individual items, very good buys. So if you only have a couple of mags for a certain gun because it's an orphan, go over there and check them out. Another thing that I believe they have in their pistol magazines, if any of you have a Latte 9mm Finnish or Swedish pistol, they have rusty but trusty, not rusted real bad, I've had these before, three Latte magazines, original military issue for $12.97. So if you have the Laki pistol, the LAH-TI Lottie, it was made before World War II, Finland and Sweden both carried it. These mags do fit in both pistols. They're an 8-shot. They're a straight inline magazine. Kind of looks like a Luger when you first look at it. If you look it up, you'll see what I'm talking about. But if you're listening and you have a grandpa gun or you bought one of these, Three magazines for $13 is a steal. It's over in their pistol magazine category. You got to go page by page because it's kind of a hodgepodge mix the way those things are laid out. But there are three mags, and you can't beat that. Actually, if you have the actual military holsters that go with those, that's one in the magazine well and two in the magazine holster right on the holster itself, the magazine pockets. The lotty holsters carry two magazines side by side or one on the spine and one on the side. They're a nice holster if you can find them. They're leather, you probably have to clean them up, but I don't know what horse side they made them out, but these things last because I've got three of them that have been in the service for, I've had them for 30 years. They do fit other weapons, but they're made for the lotty. These magazines are the same thing. They're made for the Lottie pistol and for about $4 a piece, you can't beat that. They're World War II surplus and they're real steel. These are not flimsy magazines. That's why you can clean them up quite easily. If there's anything wrong with the outside, just scrub them up however you want to and then put a coat of light paint on them or just keep them oiled, one or the other. Not heavy oil because remember you don't want oil and ammo mixing. But common sense, if you take a look at it, gives you the opportunity to have a little more fire power for that older grandpa gun you had sitting on the shelf. And that pistol takes standard 9mm. As a sub-note, the Laffey pistol was built with unique metallurgy. Interestingly enough, it was designed, the way it was tempered, to handle sub-zero environments. Because if you look at where Finland is and Sweden, more importantly Finland as a part of its nation in the Arctic Circle. When they fought the Russians during the winter war there, one part of the finger that came in from Russia came in that far north. And they fought in Arctic conditions. Well, the latte pistol was designed for that. Now the only issue consideration is this. For some reason, in really hot environments, it doesn't fare as well because of the nature of the metallurgy and how the steel responds to cold and heat. Just a sub note, it's not a critical issue, but it's something to keep in mind. But as a winter pistol goes, it's one of the finest winter handguns you could possibly carry. And it's known. All our Swedish friends here and Scandinavian friends that are up north in the UP, almost every one of my know has got at least one locking pistol, if not maybe half a dozen. Back in the day they were cheap. Today they're still not outrageously priced, but they are, again, it's not the razor, it's the blades. And magazines for $4 a piece, you can't beat it. And that's over at rtgparts.com. rtgparts.com. If somebody else was asking a question during the break there, I had a couple of messages that came in, so I actually was in a back and forth conversation during the hour break that I didn't have, because we're busy with things. But one of the things about our discussion about the steel is that, remember guys, not everything made during the Civil War was steel. There is a term that you need to remember. I've used it many times called malleable iron. Don't think wrought iron where it just chips and breaks if you hit it too hard. That's wrought iron typically. Although wrought iron, rail iron, is actually pretty malleable too. But true malleable iron. Let me give you an idea of how durable that is. More than half the tracks on our Bren gun carriers are malleable iron pads. They're not steel. It's cheaper, it's just as durable for extreme weight and impact conditions. Think about this, when a tracked vehicle is doing 55 miles an hour, well not that fast, my God, God help you if you have a problem, 45 miles per hour or less. The brain gun carrier could do 45 comfortably and it's like driving a car. Well, every time that pad flaps, there's an impact force wave going through each pad to the front. If you watch how a tank works, watch how the tracks work. What's interesting is malleable iron is very durable and resilient. But also, here's another one, cheap. So again, there are many weapons and things that have not been built necessarily with steel, even with steel available. because it lightens the burden on all the products and the time necessary to create the steel, the like 4140, 4130 or any of the other high grade steels. And for that matter, even mid grade steels. Iron is much easier to produce in many ways. Lesser, let's say, diligence with regard to the foundry work. It's a straightforward formula. It doesn't take very long. And the end product, if you're a monger, if you're steel mongers know what they're doing, doesn't take very long to get the job done and make multiple vats for the price of one steel pot coming out of the one bucket coming out of the foundry in steel. different math formula altogether. So again, during the Civil War, making the Sten gun would have been very easy. Making it with whatever ammunition was available, or again, progressively upgrading. One of the other things I mentioned is that the rim-pair cartridges were available at the beginning of the Civil War. Regular or conventional center cap cartridge were available too. But rimfire was dominant because it was the first process that was actually embraced by the population. Because if the population didn't buy it, the government was very frugal and did not waste a whole lot or spend a whole lot of money in peacetime. So it was the population in general that made things go forward. In fact, there are no significant innovations in the US military with the exception of missile tech and artillery tech. in which the private citizens didn't own it first, way before the government did. It's something that nobody talks much about for a reason. The stupid civilians, if it weren't for the civilian population with dynamic concepts and ideas, some of which didn't work, others which did, then the military wouldn't have most of what it had. The civilian population had cap and ball before the military did. Even Flint, going from matchlock to Flint, it was pushed by, Flintlock was pushed in the civilian market much more heavily because matchlock had already been committed to. Then Flintlock becomes popular, it's adopted, it's developed the rest of the way so the military didn't have to do any real R&D per se. Tappenball comes in, then the first cartridge guns. and rimfire being the first level, although there were some other designs that were neither centerfire pin, you know, cap type or rimfire. And some of those weapons survived the end of the Civil War. Which is really interesting. Anyway, we're at the top, heading to the weekend. We'll survive the weekend by paying attention. Remember the buddy system. Know where your people are. If you wanted to be in charge, you're responsible for those people. Make sure everything stays bare of. You're the straw boss for the weekend. God bless our republic.
