Generations, the game's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Brave, I permit 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 home, how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't hedge it, and your Christian values to be taught according to the state. You read about the current use 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 you've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and leave farms and keep our country put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters, visitors send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the fate to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear? O sons of the Republic, arise. defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great republic, and eat a given right. Pray to God your freedom bright, as Iowochee vanished in the midst of whence he came. His words were true, not free, but we have ourselves to blame, for even now as tyrants trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. 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? Called out from the grave. Gentlemen, this is the next hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Quirky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, East, South, North. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we are on satellite because a whole bunch of people listen in and rebroadcast and log in digital outbound. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies both inside and outside the United States to include micro AM and FM stations all across the US and in Europe. So I want to say thank you for the people that picked up the programming that way. It is, no, wait, yes, wait, it's Friday, it is Cinco di Amo Day, it is the 8th of May, it is the 10th year of Open Obvious and In Your Face. Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K, 2026 Old Earth Calendar, 2026 Battle for the Republic book. 3. A dark anniversary. Very nice outside today. Still cool though, cold winds from Valhalla. Valhalla we are coming. It has been brisk. The air has been brisk. Sunshine? Here's a problem. You can go outside and if you have, if you don't wear something in the way of sunshade, you will get a sunburn. We don't have any choice in that. It is the way things are. It is the way. It is the way. Yeah, you know how that is and grogoos there too, but anyway The weather is going to be a mix for the weekend. We are probably going to see more rain Expect that not a surprise. It's the way it is springtime But because of that make sure that you take all your extra rain gear and other tech along Before I go any farther I'm going to give you a little attention, attention, attention. This is a Quartermaster thing because it's, well, it's Scotty Amble Day and Quartermaster Friday. Now over at SportsmansGuide.com, this is an excellent buy. I'm serious. A very high quality pair of pants or a cut of pant over there at www.sportsmansguide.com. Now I'm holding a pair right here myself. And these are Woodland Camouflage Italian Forestry Service Pants. That's what they're claiming they are anyway, but they are patent. It is the brand. The general patent, P-A-T-T-O-N. The pants themselves, though, are unique. The upper, and I'm looking at the label right here, is 65-35 polyester cotton blends. So the blend of the pant is more like you see with the... we used to get the Korean Woodland camouflage uniforms. In this case, they are like... well, they are and they aren't. They're actually kind of unique. Number one, they've got as many pockets as you'd normally expect to see on a pair of pants, tactical pants. The front pockets though are zippered and they're blossomed. There's also a couple of secondary outer pockets up above. There are back pant pockets and there's also hip thigh pockets, the popcorn pockets. But the lower is a side, the legs are a slick side outer surface nylon. And it's like you have a pair of built-in gators. Now this what this uniform is very reminiscent of these pants are are the Swiss elpin flash Original issue the both the forearms and the lower legs were water water resistant water repellent and were part of the integrated rains poncho system and Did the same thing the firm from the upper part of the popcorn pocket down? it's in a I think you can hear that with what I just did. It's a much heavier, denser water, what appears to be, appears to be, at least partially water repellent, but it works kind of like a set of gators. So, picky brush, clingers, water, anything like that is repelled. Now, you'd think these things are a crazy price. Well, actually they were a lot more expensive. Now, these are brand new. They are unissued. They are a commercial pattern, a package. Comes in a little bundle of spare buttons, as a matter of fact. So you have spares on board. I'm holding a little bag attached. It's patent brand. And right now, size medium, size extra large, and size 2X in these pants are available for about $9 a pair in the clearance section. I'm going to order a couple more pears right off the bat for myself immediately and for a few other people in the family. I ordered a couple pears. I probably wish I'd ordered more right away now. Now here's the thing. You're going to probably go there and there are two different types of pants. You may want the other pair, though, also. Basically, the same pant I'm describing is also available. It's an Italian Forestry Service field pant. That's what it's listed as. And it's with wind camouflage. Now here's the thing, they do have the lined version of this which has an insulation liner. And those are, I think, $19 or $18 a pair. It comes to, oh no, not quite that much. They're cheaper than that. I think $17, just let me in the microphone, I could be wrong. Those are worth the money also, but again, they'll probably come down in price because they are lined, they're insulated, and everybody's going to be stepping away from that because we're getting into the summer. But these are a perfect utility woodland camouflage pant. Guys, if you are looking at a lot of field work, if you're in any of the places where you've got a lot of thatch, a lot of low brush, You've got snakes, you've got booger pickers of all kinds, and we have that here in Michigan, trust me. These are an excellent, like this morning with the Dew, where we went out into the back 40. This is the kind of pants you want to be wearing. I didn't wear them. I had not opened the package yet. Or I probably would have this morning, to be quite honest. But the price is right. These are about $9 a pair. Size medium, size extra large, and size 2X. Now, I'd recommend if you're large, you can do the extra large. So again, definitely worthwhile, but they're brand new in the bag. They're unissued. They come with all the attachments. Again, zipper front pockets, snap button, rear pockets, a couple extra. In fact, there's almost like an extra little set of popcorn pockets that are right there just below the front zipper pockets. And it's a good design, comfortable, and definitely worth the money. So that's over at www.sportsmansguide.com. Whoever gets there first, congratulations. Hopefully we don't sell them out before I grab the next wave that I want to. Darn, I should have probably waited, but I can't because I'd rather see our people get these. And again, woodland camel for the ones that are the standard pants. The insulated ones, I checked, they only have them in OD green and it's the darker OD, but it is an OD green, so if you're an OD unit and that's your standard, they'd probably like those too. And there are a number of other items that they have added over at www.sportsmansguide.com. Go to their clearance section when you get to the clearance. Up in the upper left corner there's going to be subcategories. Hit surplus, military surplus, and that'll eliminate all the other odds and ends, background noise, and allow you to very quickly go through the page to see what else might be useful for your purposes. Again, everybody has different mission concepts. That's fantastic. We are the Patriot Movement slash the militia. We are kind of independent. So whatever floats your boat and fits your needs will work just fine. And we're not going to argue about that. As long as you keep squaring away, when the time comes, you'll be ready to go. So, let's see, next. Well, and again, also, it's Sportsman's Guide. They put a mark down aftermarket M16 AR15 Bandit in there also. I believe for about $20 or so. You might want to check that out. Bud Case, the only one that has one for about that price. So if you're looking for additional 5-10 bayonets to put with a handout AR-15s, this is serviceable enough for what it's for. It doesn't have to be pretty, doesn't have to be fancy to be a sticky, sticky, pokey, pokey thing. And the price is right so you won't cry if you take it in the field and something happens to it. Oh well, you know, again, you didn't pay that much. But it looks like it's serviceable enough. We'll know more about it in a little bit. They just put those into the markdown. There may not be that many, so whoever gets there first gets them and that's it. And again, beyond that, well, we told you about it. So we're at the end of the work week and going into the work week end and we already have people at Camp Emerson, who Camp Stossel, Camp Gwayland North, the Ogimba Ranges, Nag Hitchem, Fox Wolf, Rustic One, Camp Betcher and Fort Benning, Michigan. Now at Fort Benning, I think one of the, I think it's the baby shower. No, that's during the week. Forgive me, I just realized, somebody says there's a schedule right in front of me. Thank you. Appreciate that. Thank you to Margaret for doing that. The baby shower schedule, thank goodness, is for Wednesday. But they do have a couple of weddings coming up at the chapel there at Fort Benning, Michigan. So again, keep an eye on the schedule. We'll not interfere with anything this weekend. It is wet. There has been a lot of washout and flooding in places up north. One location, they did refill the road. I saw the pictures. We were talking a wash-out that was as deep as, well, as deep as a deuce and a half on one side of the road. And in fact, it had cut off. They closed the road area access down. That's been fixed. Everything is back online and ready to roll. So that was, of course, not at the train site. That's one of the roads leading up to an access for the training sites. And there's been many locations up north like that, especially headed towards Cadillac, between Cadillac and, oh, I would say up to the coast. So it's just probably still a lot of stuff that's busted up up there, but it's not ours. We got ahead, we're way ahead of the schedule, like I said, so I'm not worried about us fixing anything. But do be cautious around everybody else's stuff. Not all the counties have caught up with everything up there, and it's just too much to do. Also, let's see, there was a question about a flag ceremony. As far as I know, check your Colonial Marine militia schedule. Use your 402 pin. Using the 402 pin will expedite any ceremony activities. The flight ceremonies for change of command. We do have some people that as we've had happen before are going to be leaving the state or are leaving their state to actually participate in something having to do with work. or family issues and so the executive officer or a co-unit commander takes over. And that is not a change of command with a flag ceremony. That's simply somebody, you know, the command structure doing what it's supposed to do. So don't worry, we don't have any major upsets right now, especially with all the stuff that's going on. It may happen anyway, we have to roll the punch, but I mean, something seriously happening to somebody. But as far as I know, and I don't think there's anything that's going to surprise me, everybody's well, nobody is dropping out from anything because of medical or death. So we're good to go, but if I see anything or if anybody passes anything on that may have happened over the last couple of days, it was a surprise of maybe the family's taking care of it and we haven't known yet. I will let you know as soon as I know and or other parties will let me know and then we'll go from there. Everybody is keeping up on stuff. We've got more enough to keep us busy. Also, and again going into the weekend, there are a bunch of hamfests out there. You're going to have to check the schedule. If you do a search for hamfest and punch in a state, you will typically get a schedule response that you can use off of a regular search with whatever mechanism you're tied to. You pop into Google and just punch in Hamfest and then stay Wisconsin. And whatever is available in the area will pop up and be there available for you to determine whether or not you want to make the trek. Also, on radio, I'll repeat this again, Teemu has had a bunch of bundle sales. And the big, there is a division here. This is Teemu. If you have any China support, there's a dozen other Chinese support companies that are running out there, a couple of them I haven't mentioned in a while. But Teemu's for, inside the US warehouse sales, they have a number of big bundle deals on handheld Bao Feng radios. So, yes, if you're looking for a ball game, then this is your chance maybe to make some pretty good deals. If you can work with your teams, get your people together quick, you should be able to take advantage of those deals and make out like bandits. They have the FRS radios, I think, for the least amount of money at little under or about, well, extra little under $5 apiece. Works of $16, $18, $30, $60, whatever. If you can buy more, you can make a better deal. But do the math before you settle on. I agree to ordering a certain thing. Double check your math. Sometimes ordering just $32 or $38 of something is a better price than if you order a larger amount. This is also true with the lessor amounts. You want to find that niche because all of the in-country warehouse orders are free shipping right now with Teemu. So, another thing taking into consideration, you want to save every dollar you can so you can buy more radios or whatever it is you think you're going to pick up. And you definitely want to kick up on volume right now so that we've got a lot of spares. A lot of spares is a good thing. That way, again, when the time comes, some breaks, you just switch out to another machine. Get squashed, folded, spindled, or mutilated, switch out to another machine. Just that simple. Anyway, now as far as the depth ship goes, it's rather funny, several people have pointed out that there's 150 passengers on board, hold on, on board that, the plague ship that's got the hospital of verna chainsaw virus going on. There's nobody communicating with anybody. There's nobody going up on social media and talking about what's happening on the ship. And everybody's kind of scratching their head because the ship is satellite connected, the whole nine yards, people were talking to people supposedly, but apparently there's like a complete blackout with regard to what's happening on board, which, well, I mean either the people are ill or not, either the dying or they're not. Of course, they could be dying and they just don't want you to hear about how they're dying and how horrible it might be. Maybe that's it. I don't think so. There's something else going on there too. Again, propaganda. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there, please. What do you got? You know, you could always buy some Sunday's Mother's Day by your mother's handheld radio. Right, mama's day. Well actually if you've got family and you aren't radioed up, you should be because it's obvious they keep telling you all about how crisis can develop. Well, we want to make sure that we don't have anybody being in any crisis mode, so telephones are a good thing and since the cell phones will probably be down and worthless, I mean after all they're talking about stuff like that right now like you're just going to be doomed. Well, no we're not because we can just switch over to the no middleman communication system, you know, the ultimate to cell phone, personal radio, and you can talk like we're talking right now on the air to each other. So it really behooves you. Go ahead. Also you can buy your mama the AR-15 that you've always wanted. What do you mean, pick out the one that you know she won't want and then you get it anyway? Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, I saw of you, mama. I mean, I saw of you on your day. Right. I think you probably see through that though. Oh, well, I mean, mom's usually up to speed on things like that. We can try. Yeah. Well, again, I can't take it back. It's a lonely purchase. The big thing here again is you actually, it wouldn't hurt to get mom an AR if you're going to build her one. Mom might be a little older, and women usually are little, you know, not quite weight lifters, everybody else is. This is where one of those CDNN pencil weight, pencil barrels, lightweight upper receivers combined with a polymer lower and all the other parts to make a five pound rifle that mom can carry all day, and she won't even know it's there, hardly anyway. And if you go over to C, D, N, N, the sports, they have the polymer, well actually, forgive me, they have the pencil barrel, car 15 type uppers. Combine that with all the other standard parts for the upper, the internals for the lower, but with a plastic buttstock, a collapsible standard M4 or car type. And then go with a Polymer lower, you can do those in 80%, you can go to Delcateen Tactical for that by the way. But the big thing here is again, you've got everything you need sitting there to make for a pretty nice lightweight package that would be about a 5 pound rifle, if not a little lighter with a Polymer receiver. Might be just a hair lighter than 5. So there's a solution and mom would be happy and you know, she's better armed so she can you know pop pop You know boom boom to the bad guys when the time comes and contribute to the safety of the family This is a good thing. I'm sure mom would appreciate it. So won't be a bad idea you over there to CDN and Delta team tactical and Probably round out with a some magazines from RTG parts and I think you'd be good and all for a very, very reasonable price too. So not having to hock the house to get it done. And mom would appreciate it. It would be mom approved. Well, if not, I should at least not say anything and think about why she didn't get a new vacuum sweeper or something. She should get something other than a... Well, vacuum sweepers are actually pretty expensive. So I know there's pretty things you can get mom and you should, but you know, you can get pink AR-15s. That'll work out too. It'll make her feel good. Anyway, uh oh, I see that. Yeah, somebody's checking on that question that somebody else had, so thank you about the, if there's a flag ceremony this weekend. We don't think there is. I don't think, there's nobody that we know of that's had any kind of issue, so it's just somebody concerned because obviously somebody is taking off for a period of time, and I do know that certain people have been discussing the issue, so. We'll wait and see, but I'm sure everybody's okay. Anyway, let's do this before we go too far. We are almost to the bottom. That didn't take long. A quick reminder again too that if you don't have the iodine, you need to pick it up. Liquid Iodine is available. Provodine Iodine over at Tractor Supply. They've got it in pints, quartz, and gallons. Half the time the gallons seem to be out. Of course they do a lot of tractor supply. A lot of people stop in from horse farms and whatever. There's different sources, but they're all doing the same thing. You can go to the farm and fleet. There's a bunch of different knockoffs or, I should say, other color flavors of tractor supply. And you do need to put iodine on the shelf. If you're not doing iodine, you need to be doing iodine. As a sub note, one of the other things that we're doing is all of the herbs we possibly can, spices, this year. And I'm going so far as to till certain pieces of ground and fencing them in, fine fence, keep the nibblers out, the bunnies out. And the mission here is to have plots of specific types of spice. So by the time you get to next season, they'll be cut, dried, and bottled. Now I can't emphasize enough, you need containers for the future to be able to do what we're talking about, because eventually you're not going to be buying it. Now it turns out that the last two big spice companies, well McCormick is the big one. Apparently McCormick has been finally taken over by one of the big, big jackass conglomerates, and they've immediately started to fiddle fart with the product. So we're seeing some you know stuff showing up in the spices that weren't there before as is typically the case when the conglomerates get in The big ones the ones that are you know kosher run for the purpose of you know trying to murder death kill the population So once again the solution is some things with some things we can't make here They just not possible, but what we can do we need to do so that needs to be on your list if you have any kinds of spices and or herbs that you can produce you need to they're actually pretty straightforward. You can find a nice little plot along the house or whatever. Do a little research on how something needs to be planted. Select the product, the crop. If you're doing pickling or canning you're going to want dill. Mint is easy. Mint will grow anywhere. Mint will take over the yard if you do it right. And again, Michigan, mint can handle Michigan. Any problem. There's several different breeds that will go crazy and grow like grass. Very useful for a lot of the medicinal issues that we're going to be facing. So mint is a good one. There are many different flavors. Lemon balm mint, chocolate mint, et cetera. There really is a chocolate mint. It's not chocolate. It just references the color of the thing. It has a little slightly different flavor. All of the mints are a good crop to put in and are very, very useful for any number of different solutions with regard to keeping pests away and also medicinal. So that's one that's easy for everyone and everybody likes it. I mean, when it's growing, if you hit it with the mower, you'll know if it's gotten out of the space you planted it in. It almost always will because you'll hit the mower and the air is fresh with the the The Comparative note, we're going to do Adele-Skyfall. How about those two, Edward? Number one is Jen Wigmore-Hey-Ho, Hey-Ho, nobody knows. And Adele-Skyfall. And those are the music requests for the bottom of the hour. We are headed into the weekend. You're listening to Liberty Tree, radio.4mg.com. libertytreeradio.org. If you'd like to make a music request, send me an email at libertyatprovide.net. libertyatprovide.net. All caps for music request is the title for the email. Band or artist, name of the song, and a link. If you want to do a cover that you like, make sure that you send me the link because that way I can check the cover out. I've saved about a dozen covers. and been using them for music mixes because I think again they're good spin-offs of the original artist. So pretty cool and again we'll play whoever it is you want. You're going to take command of the network like our two friends are for the two music requests here. Jen Wigmore with Hayho and Adele with Sayfall. right here on libertytreeradio.4mg.com and libertytreeradio.org. And meanwhile, I'm restacking the deck here. Also, I think Ed's working diligently to try to scramble on the music request. And meanwhile, we also, oh, I had enough time. We'll take talking over the music, but Real quick, also New Camp Stasa. We have some friends that are going to be up from Ohio. We have the 4th Ohio and also friends from the Grand Army of the Republic Corridor. So we've got a communications unit up here with us. Hey guys, if you're going to be up there at New Camp Stasa, take the time and volunteer. You're probably listening to us right now on the biker FM there. Please take the time and volunteer and be a DJ for the weekend for a few hours and also be part of the Radio Shack. If they're the communications unit, I think they are, they may be the only reason they actually came up this weekend because they're busy enough where they are as it is. But yes, you too can be a DJ while at the facility. and can help out the crew there in the process to get things done. But you'll be monitoring communications, also monitoring cameras and other technology for security, and in the process, learning. Which everybody likes to learn stuff. I know I do. And it's a lot of fun playing DJ anyway. When we're not broadcasting Intel Report and Liberty Tree Radio, you get to broadcast whatever you want for music mix off of the library there. And it's a lot of fun. Anyway, uh oh, I may be in a vacuum here. We may not get the music request. In fact, I'm going to assume the worst and I won't be disappointed. So... Hey Mark. Let's see. Go ahead. We got your caller. It's Tom. By the way, I'm back home now, but the stitches still aren't out. They'll be out Monday. But I am back home and I am... keeping busy. Did you find out what date is for up this way yet? Yes, I did, but I didn't get a chance to send you an email yet. So we're either going to be, I'll probably be an email. And in fact, we'll do it through Nancy's phone. In fact, it's a three-day FTX that's coming up. So it will start Thursday. Okay. Okay. Not that, yeah, it'll be Thursday or Friday, Saturday. As a matter of fact, you're up in a little corner of the planet that got a lot of water. How are the roads and the secondary roads looking up your way? Well, we've had dry spells. Everything is drying up, but they're still flooding in certain spots. But in fact, a lot of these places up here have been declared a national emergency by Schutzmer. She declared them a national emergency because of the thing. But other than that, where I live, Everything seems to be up, but like I said, there's still places around that have still a little flooding. Very good. Well, again, we expect that there are some... What's interesting is that we are looking at two different facilities up there that are going to be a lot closer to where you are that may be acquired here shortly. So people are doing ground surveys right now. But just curious because again, we've had a lot of reporting of wash outs. So you're in the lake area there. I was just curious. Roads held up there okay or not so much? In certain spots, yes. Certain spots, no. There's been a couple triggers that have been washed out but other than that, like I said, everything seems to be good up this way for now. Well, again, that's one of the problems that was rather interesting. Looking at some of the stuff that they sent us that was repaired, it's interesting. Of course, we're way ahead of the county and the township, the townships, because there's a couple different locations. But some spots, the washout from the rains up there in the north, were such that it actually took out two-thirds of the road. and set it downstream quite a ways, we should say down land because it wasn't near Lake, it was all inland too. And again, that's not a surprise, but that's a reminder about why we need engineer equipment in the field or we need to be prepared with combat engineer units guys in the future. At the very least, Having a certain amount of material and equipment on hand just for that purpose because of the conditions. It won't take long for secondary roads to go to Helen Handcart if we go into a depression or whatever, depending on how the internet is sort of yapping about. They've created the conditions intentionally for a crisis situation with the economy. And, historically in the past, that was one of the things people don't remember because it's way back in the brain pan for your grandpa or your dad, depending on how old you are and how old your dad or grandpa were. But, back in the day, Michigan roads were quite dynamic and secondary roads, especially when the Depression hit, guys, there wasn't a whole lot of money out there to fix anything. In fact, that was one of the big efforts by a combination of the railroads and certain counties were to try to improve dramatically certain locations because it was interfering with county and state commerce. The lower part of the state I always mention down here where we have the Monroe Basin. My grandfather on my mom's side actually poured cement. When he finally got back here to Michigan, and while he was here, it was during the Depression, I drive under a bridge down here whenever we head over towards Monroe that I know exactly when it was put into place because my grandfather is the one who cast the cement along with the crew that he was with back when that location was out in the middle of nowhere. They camped in place, and this is in the bottom of the state. It's not like it's way up near the Upper Peninsula or anything, but the crews camped in place and stayed there until the work was done. It was the only money. There wasn't anybody that had a job. Let's remind everybody, this goes the way that they're yapping, and everybody's casually talking about a depression. Well, in the Depression, nobody had any money. No pennies to rub together. In this case, he was just in the right place at the right time, already had some construction experience. He joined this crew that did mud flinging. What they did was there were a couple of train trestles and some other very remote out in the country locations with other work that needed to be done for some of the better wealth to do farms. And still stands to this day, after all those years. In fact, it's getting close to a 100-year-old bridge, to be quite honest. And again, it's train trestles especially. But see, the problem is that it's also a low point. So they had to do a bunch of specialized engineering. because there's no place for the water to go down there. I mean, fortunately, we'll eventually get to Lake Erie, but there's interesting situations. And of course, it's the area where we always joke about the Raisin River. Because when the water comes down, the river rises up, needless to say, very, very quickly because water, that's the only place it does have to go, into the low points fast. heads up because this is not going to be good and it is exactly what they have planned. I'm not saying it may happen. They're mouthing it because they're going to try to tell you, well we told you so, but we did warn you, you didn't listen. It's like, no, no, I hear you. We know you're planning on damaging the American people. The Zionists are planning on hurting you so they can steal the land off from underneath your feet. We're getting ready to shoot their ass for that. Don't have a problem with it at all. This time around, no kindness. Kindness is what brought us to where we are with people who are absolutely your enemy. Where they think they can just keep pulling the rug off from underneath and getting away with it. Well, that's done. So when they start this BS, we end the BS. That's just how it's going to have to be. So be prepared accordingly. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Well, let's see, I know we were kind of rushed on it. One of the things about this plague ship that, of course, has gotten a publicity, by the way, it is black, if you haven't noticed, or at least it appears to be black. It could be a dark, dark, dark blue. But they aren't showing you color pictures, not black and white, right? Interestingly enough, again, that's fascinating. As several people have pointed out, why are these people not in communications with the world? They have satellite uplinks. The ship is equipped to link to a number of different networks. Everybody was on. Everybody was on some internet service or another because apparently most of the operation with this ship had to do with bird watching and people were sharing feeds, they were sharing all kinds of information, talking about the exploits while they were on their cruise. And now, well actually, even since before this thing started, nothing. Nobody signing up for anything, nobody linking up anywhere. and everybody's kind of scratching their head, it's like, well if this is real, or if the people are real, then why aren't they talking to anyone? Just a heads up, you might want to check that out because a lot of other people are already doing it and it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Now it does if it's propaganda. Remember that. How can we tell when they're lying? It's when their mouth's moving, people. And as we said before, what's the purpose behind this? Oh, to try and whip up a frenzy we're all supposed to be terrified. We're all supposed to be scarred. But what if that doesn't happen? Oh, then they're going to have to up the ante, of course. And they will. So be prepared. And if you don't have a gas mask, get one. Oh, by the way, before I forget, there aren't many of them, but over at Sportsmansguide.com, Sportsmansguide.com, Sportsmansguide.com, another item. Over in the clearance section, they posted a US OD green chem suits, still in the bag, for I believe it's $10 a set. They only have size large. Now the price may go up, price may go down, but they're only in size large. Now remember that chem suits are spacious. They're spacious because they have to be able to go over cold weather gear. So a large, in reality with most clothing, with most people, actually is, you know, actually proportionally you're going to go, well this thing is kind of oversized. There's a lot of drawstrings and everything with these chem suits because it's designed for all seasons. Always remember that. But they do have OD Green chem suits in the bag over at SportsmansGuide.com in the clearance section. And again, to put a chem suit on the shelf, a gas mask, rubber gloves. They've got rubber boots. That'll be your chem booty. They've got size eight German side zip rubber boots for about 470 or something like that. And so again, you get pretty much everything that you need, one stop shop, and be relatively serviceable. I mean, be good enough for what it's for to get the job done, be able to get into the game. So you might want to go again and go through all of what they have in the discount section over at the clearance section, over at sportsmansguide.com right now. And this way you can finish up, dot all the I's, cross all the T's. They do have one mask. I think it's the Nb or N4 Euro mask. It's a copy of the M17. I believe that particular copy has more integrated parts that match right up with the M17, which again is rather interesting. The chem suit is there, rubber boots are there, so basically you still need some duct tape, a pair of rubber gloves, which if you look, they do have them for a pretty reasonable price for actual NBC, Nuclear, Biological and Chemical rubber gloves, and that is over at SportsmansGuide.com. Get over there and check them out and see what all of these you might still need that might still be useful for you. Interestingly enough, on the pants, there's a number of different work pants over there, good service pants. They're in the blues, which again, if you're looking for work clothes or utility clothes for daily work, not necessarily tactical, they have for between $8 and $12, a couple of different Belgian. Dutch and also Italian work pants, including the Woodland camouflage pants. Those can be added to the list that are over there also. And they're all very well priced, but they're also good. Some go up to 2x, some go up to 3x. So if you're looking for something with some space, or you need a little bigger size, I suggest you go look at the discount. or Well, you're gonna need a little more space just something to think about so you have the opportunity It's not very often that the 2x and 3x size pants Make it over into the clearance side as you most everybody knows So this is a good opportunity to kind of dot all the eyes, you know dot all the eyes and cross all the T's again For a minimal amount of cash minimal amount of expense when we get into the next hour We're going to do guns and gadgets after the top of the hour, a little after, not right away. But there has been a bunch of other stuff going on with more conversation about the not just the gun grab, but also a number of other police state agenda legislation that's already passed that, gee, it looks like it's all going into effect around the 4th of July. Mostly the 1st of July. Now in a multiple number of states, so we've already gone through most of the list but looks like half of the Eastern Seaboard from Florida up to Maine has a whole pile of communist goose-stepping leftist crap that they have already put into play and they plan on plugging and playing very very shortly so that's going to escalate things quickly. In addition to that you have of course Canada kicking off in the exact same window Ignore any bullshit and that's the only way I can explain it bullshit about how old they're gonna fix things Oh, they're not gonna let that happen. That's a lie. It's already in motion Government doesn't back down from taking power. They're greedy bastards. They're monsters. You're being betrayed We have been betrayed for a long time. This is in the schedule They're trying to baffle you with bullshit, but they have the legalese in place and they will use it It's that simple. Anything else is just pickle smoke and mirrors. That's how you have to look at it. So be prepared, square your people away, make sure you've got what you need to fight, and remember when you do fight, fight to win. Don't let them get up. Don't negotiate with them. We need to talk! The only reason they want to talk is because they've run out of ammunition and they don't want you to realize that. Like what happened with the Batfaggots at Waco. The Branch Davidians should have executed every last one of them. The first day They had the ability to stop shooting and the Batfaggots wanted to kill everyone. They were on the phone the whole time while they were attacking and they completely ignored that fact. Intentionally they knew that they could have stopped it. They didn't want to until then they wanted to talk when they ran out of ammo. If you go that far, you don't let them get you. They go that far and come to you. You come down the road and attack. and you're engaged, don't let any of them escape. Let nothing but a rumor of their destruction return to where they came from. The only reason they want to talk is because they're trying to get out of what they put themselves into when they tried to murder you. Chances are they have murdered some of your people, but you don't let them get away from that. None of them. We've learned that lesson. You better appreciate it. You let none of them escape. They're done and keep it up. Keep it up. Oh, it looks like I got them pinned down. Oh, we got better pinned down You're dying like you're dying like dogs. Now. Let's just make sure we finish what we started anyway And yes, there's been a bunch of additional stories out there. We are gonna be doing some Additional programming here over the next couple of weeks by the way some of it for private podcasts and others for I should say public private podcast but we'll also be doing some co-broadcasting again here in the next two weeks. We'll let you know more about the schedule on that pretty soon. So you can probably let people know what's going on. It has been an outrageous month and it's only the first end of the first week of May was yesterday and it is piling up. I cannot emphasize to get everything done that you possibly can in the shortest period of time. You're competing with a lot of other people. One of the things that I'm seeing is people are now talking about quote-unquote the end-mutation shortage again. Well, we never really did get back up that far with the inventory replacement. Not as we've done before. So, one of the issues that we do have is that whatever's out there is out there. With ammunition, ball, ammo. Don't worry about anything special. Shmidlab, 406 super expander, turns into 15 projectiles, shreds their liver and kidneys and comes out their bum hole every time, even no matter where you hit them. That's not what you're looking for. You're looking for something that's reliable, will work in every weapon you hand it off to, especially since you have allies, remember that? It's got to be something that works. And ball ammunition is the center baseline for everything that is used. So it is the best choice for anybody out there, all of you listening. It can be 9mm ball, 40 caliber, even 10mm, which is just long 40, all 10mm is long 40 caliber. Okay, it's just all there is to it. Some people are going to go, oh Mark, it's not that. Yeah, actually yes it is. Come on. But works just fine. I don't care what you choose. I think 10 millimeters wonderful I think I think 40 caliber is wonderful. I think anything will put a bullet down range is especially wonderful right now So the debate isn't whether or not you should hey, you know whether not you like it It's do you have enough to keep it fed? You got to make sure that you keep accumulating more inventory for the fight and Don't stop every chance you can buy more ammo Also, real quick on that note for reloading, it appears that there is a short wave of H110. H110 Hodgson H110 is the I can do anything powder. Now it especially was built for, let me give you a little hint, H110. When it came out, it was designed as a carbine powder for the M1 carbine round. the Calibri-Car Bean. And that's why the 110 grain bullet, H110, was kind of a little tongue-in-cheek thing. But immediately when you have a cheap powder, since H110 used to be half the price of every other powder on the market, seriously, that's a long time ago. But it stayed that way for quite a few years. So much so that everybody went to it to load. And what I mean by that is that a lot of people For instance, immediately wanted to see can I make it work in a pistol like in 357 Magnum. Yep, works great for that. In fact, it works great for a whole lot of different, especially small case high velocity cartridges and 223, 556, 7.6 Q by 39, it will work with it. It's not your first choice in many cases as some people would say, but it works. So H110 is a good light rifle and pistol utility powder. It was originally meant for the carbine, M1 carbine. And that was its niche. But very, very quickly, as soon as it was the cheapest powder on the market, everybody figured out how to dial it up. And this is why there are specs in the loading books for so many other calibers, so many other chamberings, not just 110 grain 30 caliber carbine. Although you can use it with any weight of bullet in 30 carbine, any weight of bullet in 5.56, any weight of bullet in all 3.57, 38 special, any pistol pretty much. All the specs have been worked out. They're now ancient by any standards, I'm only 40, 50 years old now. But it does work. There seems to be a flurry of it. I've noticed that several people have pointed out that they've been picking up from a number of different sources that powder. So if you see it, yes, it is an excellent choice for a reloading reserve powder to begin with or a primary powder. What we usually do is you collect a lot of powders that are last of in a can. So, if we're reloading for training, we try to use up the last ofs from the stuff that we've picked up. We save the brand new reserve cams for the big push. Okay? However, eventually you're going to use up all the odd powders. You have to have the loading books to be able to do that, which I collect every old reloading book I can find for that reason. Old reloading book, not the new ones. Well, I do the new ones too, but I wait for it to be cheap. They're expensive sometimes. But anyway, the important thing here is that you have the data on the shelf and if you're looking for powder, H110 is a good choice. It's not half the price of everybody else anymore, but it is a very desirable universal powder for the lower, you know, smaller end of the scale cases and works every time. Fantastic powder to work with. Again, dial it back a little bit also. Don't forget what we've talked about. You can work in the middle of the schedule. You don't want to go up Dirty Harry for training. Because you are training, you can afford to dial down, go to lower points in the schedule for reloading on your charts and utilize that so that you can get your powder to stretch. Make the powder go farther. That's especially critical because you're going to see powder. Nothing is cheap anymore. Everything is stupid slash outrageous price. You aren't making double or three times what you did, but all the prices have gone that way for everything and anything we can imagine from food to dry goods, nuts, bolts, screws, you name it. And with the next step in what's going to happen, it's going to be worse. So everybody start collecting what you can watch for estate sales this weekend coming up. Take advantage of those. Anyway, I'll see you next again. Okay, I'm reading. Okay, hold on. I'm multitasking here on the air. No, I do not know. Atlantic Firearms has a whole bunch of HK stuff that they have had since the sale of some. Atlanta. You want to go over and check them out. I saw all the stuff. They posted a bunch of stuff for the MP5. Some of it is still not cheap. But, that's an interesting item to hear. You might want to take a look at it. If that's your interest over Atlantic Firearms. Let's go to break. God bless our Republic. Just for the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the mark. We are on the mark both day and night. And I'll tell you what, we will be right back. Everybody stay right there, including Mike. And it is Friday on Liberty's Breakthrough. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. 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 hope of how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. and you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. It's 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 you've given 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, visit doctors, your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children fear? Both sons of the Republic arise. Take a stick, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republican, each God given right. Pray to God, as Iowoki vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves to blame, for even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and 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? called out from the grave. Time to bleed. Really? You got time to duck? What movie is that from? Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories east southwest north and northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and we're on satellite. I'll say hi to all our operators. Analog and digital. We are on a myriad of other communications technologies inside and outside these United States and it is Friday! It is Cinque di Amal Day and Quartermaster Friday. It is the 8th of May. It is 2026, old earth calendar. I'm Gilrosh's gawk captain. 125 bucks, 10. And it's 2026, Battle for the Republic Book 3, a dark anniversary. And the one colonel, the one colonel that the Patriot Movement had to capture, they had finally acquired only because Well, we weren't hunting for him. The other side was. And barely, barely by the skin of his teeth and his very special designer shoes, which were left with the corpse that was made to conceal his passing into the patriot sphere, we acquired a valuable tool. And then we had long conversations with the traitor. Very long conversations. We got what we needed. Anyway, debriefing. It was a debriefing. We didn't hurt him. Yeah, we didn't hurt him. Anyway, it is a beautiful Friday work. It's the end of the work week, working into the work weekend. There we go. How do you like that? And that means for everybody out there, pay attention. Don't forget you need your number 10 food cans for each person going to any facility. The tax is paid at the door. You know where you have to move it to if you've been there before. Two number 10 cans per person and there's no exception. We don't do much in the way of demand, but we expect as everybody is supposed to be an adult and know what to do, when you show up, You know what you got to have with you. This helps to build up our food, our tactical food reserve. And it is our tactical reserve for emergency purposes or to feed an army. And we've done it progressively, not all at once, not because we have billions of dollars to waste and pocket for, you know, swimming pools and whatever like you see with the Jewish mob stealing is blind from the federal end. We do it a step at a time and with The very much thoughtful intent, a purpose, we got a mission. We stick to it. So anyway, let's see, before we go any farther, I heard Mike's voice there. Mike, I need to have you do me a favor. I need to have you email a phone number that we can contact you by over to libertyatprovide.net for Mike, if you could. send me over at liberty at provide.net an email with your phone number. If somebody else needs to get hold of you. So we're going to relay the number. I want to make sure I get the right one. You can help me out with that. Okay. And very good. Thank you. I appreciate it. Yeah. And just one thing to add. You were at the close of the previous hour. You were talking about reloading. and keeping your powder charges short. Another thing, and I don't know it, I'm sure it's going to affect different people in different parts of the country, but especially out here in the desert where the humidity is so low, there is an amount of moisture in powder. Very minimal, you don't want it wet, obviously. But when you're putting it on the scale, that The moisture is factored into the powder and so if you've got old powder you've acquired some powder from like a you know in the state sale and you're not so sure on how Well, it was stored and how old it actually is and things so the powder could be dried out and So then because that adds into the weight of what you're going to measure on your scale and You could be used to using 7 grains of unique or something like that and it works just fine. But when you put in dried out powder into your scale, you might be getting 8 or 9 grains depending on how dry and the moisture has been driven out. So yeah, if you're buying powder, acquiring it from an unknown source, be very, very careful. especially if you live out in the desert, Southwest. But yeah, I'll email you my telephone number, contact information. Thank you. I appreciate that. By the way, also for out there in the dry lands, Mike, go over to Sportsman's Guide and go into their clearance section. There is a bunch of desert pattern camo items that are dirt cheap right now. When I say dirt cheap, guys I've already mentioned this a couple times, I must have a ton of them. It is the, I believe they're, you kick me, no they're Dutch. It's a Dutch tactical vest. It's basically the two panels left and right. It does have a utility belt on the base. It's in Dutch slash the same thing that the French and the Czech did in the way of the three-colored desert. I think $5 a piece right now. $4.98 or $5.20 a piece. They're brand new, unissued, excellent condition. You might want to, if you need a few spare rigs or somebody's looking to build up a kit, There's a number of different pouches that are there. They did have some mag pouches, but somebody saw that they were down below a couple dollars a unit for brand new unissued. I think somebody scarfed them up to resell. I've noticed that some of the stuff popping in at the clearance, which has gotten so low, you'll see all of a sudden it shows up in another inventory with, you know, if you do a search on the internet. So that's not unusual. I mean, people are trying to make money. But the thing is, if you catch it when it's happening like right now, there are a number of different desert and sand or coyote brown pattern items that are at the bottom end of the scale for clearance. So anybody out there, you might want to check out where you are, these would probably be kind of handy over in the dry range. and definitely cheap. I mean there was a hanger double mag pouch I looked, it's already gone this afternoon unfortunately, but it was in Coyote Brown and normally about a 20 some dollar item and about eight dollars. I think with a may have dropped the discount on it again, there were a bunch of mag pouches that were out there for 95 cents apiece and if I caught them at a bottom all myself, we'd have grabbed them. As it is, keep an eye on it. Hawk, I circle around that sportsmansguide.com clearance section for surplus. And remember, at a given point, they go to a final discount to try and clear it off the shelf. And it's not that they don't have quite a few. In many cases, they do. In fact, one of the things, although it's not cheap, it just got put on the list, but for everybody to listen up, A few, oh about half a year back they had the mine clearing or demolition gators, Kevlar gators that go on your feet. Now where those come from is where these other ones just popped in from. There are some French Kevlar gators that are marked down from what they were. Typically they are outrageously priced, but these are chainsaw protection. They also work just fine for anti-frag purposes and actually would probably do a good job with other things that might be coming at you. You might want to take a look at them now. They're not cheap yet, but they are cheaper than they've been. They're $39 a pair and they're brand new unissued. So if that is something that makes sense, because maybe you are doing the pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, And chainsaws, especially Scandinavian chainsaw tags, are very unforgiving. So this is a good tool to have in the toolbox, but it's also tactical. It's one of those things that could be used for a lot of other specific purposes. A couple of times, mine clearing and demolition armor has popped up. That's where those gators came from. Like I said, I think it's about six months. No, five months now. But there's stuff like that that will pop up again. And this would be a comparable item for, you know, again, the purpose of the mention. You're trying to protect people from things that go boom right in front of your face or close to you, close proximity. And this is a way to offer a lot more protection, to add another layer of armor where normally you wouldn't be able to afford to do it. So, always watch for these things also at yard sales and estate sales. That's the other kind of stuff that shows up. It's the inane and odds and ends that we take advantage of there because I'm not going to pay $200 for that, but I will pay a discount price for it maybe. And again, in this case, we can wait a little bit. It'll probably come down before too long. You know, if you needed them now, they're worth it now. But if you want to wait, we can gamble that eventually they'll come down with a little bit of a better discount price and you'll be happier still. That's the only juggling thing. You don't know how many people, first of all, you don't know how much they have and you don't know how many people all of a sudden take a vested interest in the same product and you're in competition. Kind of like an auction with nobody saying anything and the price is fixed. But when it gets to be the right fixed price, it goes pretty quick. So just be prepared. And another thing on that too, a number of different summer boots over there right now also in the discount. So, and those will be good for everybody. Somebody's asking me, well, you know, Desert Tan or Desert Brown, Coyote Brown for a lot of it, tan works too. Here in Michigan, we use it for fall camo. And if it's the Coyote Brown or any of the Dark Earth tones, it pretty well works through the season. Well, it's interesting. We get in the middle of Michigan summer, it's dry on a popcorn fart, don't breathe on the grass, it'll explode, burst into flames. And so we do get a brown out in the middle of summer, just like most places do, for as wet as we are. So the desert patterns, so to speak, or the brown out patterns, work to a degree here, even in the middle of what would be the summer high ground, summer highland. and definitely something that's useful. Anyway, idea is not just whitening or complaining about the problems. The other side wants you to do that while not expecting to be able to find a solution. First of all, Organizer's Army equipment train is militia. Establish a 5-10 program in your area of operations. Logistics, the key to victory. Understand, if you got it where you need it when the time comes, you're ahead of the game and the enemy has to carry their stuff in. We're on our own home turf. We're on our own ground. We're where we're supposed to be. They're not. So we're going to treat them that way when the time comes because you're not where you're supposed to be. We'll just put you under this earth. So let's see next. Go ahead jump in there. Yeah, you were talking about gear and different things and equipment and prices and stuff. I found something. I was up at Goodwill about a year or so ago. and The things are the different accoutrements that you can get for MOLLE gear, but I did notice that that single magazine pouch fit a Balfang radio right nicely. I don't know if radio magazine or radio pouches run more just because of their rarity per se, that they're not producing as many radio pouches as they would a You know an M16 magazine pouch, but I noticed for I don't know I went over there to that Military vehicle collectors Club deal and priced them and the single magazine pouches are just a couple of bucks So I don't know how much radio pouch for the MOLLE gear is but for an alternative if your radio is like one of those Balfangs or a knockoff or something smaller, maybe like an FRS radio, they sit right nicely in there for just a couple of bucks. Over to you. Exactly. And again, it doesn't have to be the official brand, so to speak, in order for it to work. You're right. Interestingly enough, there are a number of pouches that are out there. There are some other odd utility pouches. which is why I like to test anything that pops up in the system. There's a couple that just showed up that they're calling them general utility pouches, okay, that they're an odd size. The good thing is that they'll probably work with the radios, or one radio or another, because remember, it's like you said, we don't just have bow things out there, and there's different depths and lengths of battery packs, even for the bow things. So, you've got to be a little flexible and pick out something that will work with pretty much whatever it is that's in your inventory that your unit's selected. And that sometimes isn't quite what you would anticipate or what you figured was, you know, it went a little different from what you expected, let's put it that way. And rather than spending top dollar on the unique one, hey, the other one works just fine. Then you'll score the storm. And the thing is, as you know, we've talked about this before, but for the benefit of the new callers, when you're out in the field, I'll speak from personal experience living down here in southern Arizona and I'll just leave it at that for what I'm out in the field for. humanitarian work of course that you might want to be considering maybe four or five different radios because it's not only the radio that you're working on but there's other people out here working on other radios. So generally your UHF works better in the city and the urban environment. VHF works better out in where you'd have rolling hills and valleys and stuff. And then you might also encounter some of these FRS GMRSs. And especially if the defecation hits the oscillation and the cells go down and the power goes out, etc., then everybody's going to have their kids because they got them a set of those FRS radios to play in the backyard with. then all of a sudden people are going to be digging out into the toy box and you might have, you know, what is that with all the sub frequencies and everything, don't think that their privacy codes, that's a misnomer, just sub frequencies on that. You might have 200 or more different frequencies to choose from but when the things go south, these radio networks or frequencies are going to be flooded by everybody and their uncle talking on this stuff. Sometimes you may not want to speak to them, but you can monitor those different transmissions to find out what the local conditions are. So if somebody says that there's a road block over here, the traffic lights are out over there, then instead of you finding out by stumbling into it, by monitoring these different radios in these different frequencies that is very beneficial and especially everybody may have a single band radio that they'll have just a UHF or you'll get the dual band radios where you can monitor UHF or VHF or you can get a tri-band radio that will monitor both of those, maybe plus You know, your 10 meter band or something like that. But bear in mind, you may have a dual band radio, but you can only monitor one band at a time. So if you've got a dual band radio, you might want to think about... You know, having another one that can, you know, one that does UHF, one does VHF, one does FRS and definitely if you're out patrolling at least one of your people need to have a radio that's on scan and then you can also get like a scanner, a radio type scanner like a Bearcat that got that thing called quick capture. Whereas even if it's on scanning, it's not on that frequency. If somebody comes up on the radio within a certain radius of where you are, the radio quits scanning and locks onto that frequency. You can hear what they're saying and it also displays what frequency they're talking on too. So that's four different radios right there. When we are talking about MOLLEGEAR and Pouches, I don't know how much a radio pouch for a MOLLEGEAR does, but if you are counting your nickels and dimes and you are trying to carry some 2, 3, 4 different radios so you can monitor all these. Or maybe if you are close to a highway or interstate where you got one of the handheld CDs, that is another one, that is five. Then if you have a cell phone with you. That's six, so you want me to keep counting. There is five or six good enough. Those are just some of the things that we have found out through practical experience. I didn't watch no YouTube video on it and I didn't hear it off of somebody's, you know, www, here's what you do in this so-and-so situation. We've learned these lessons the hard way in the practical experience of this is the stuff that is required to conduct proper operations. And don't always just think, I did find a radio out here that was definitely left over by the CC New York crowd and I don't know if it fell off their backpack, they sat down, but it had come over in between a set of boulders and I don't know if they didn't, but it was a pretty hot dollar radio. One of these where it can tie into the networks and everything. But it was usually in the area where we are operating. It would be better for the VHF to be operating on those frequencies, but it was a UHF frequency. The thought process was because it was fairly close to an interstate highway as they were using one set of radios to communicate with the other 56 radios that were in their network that they were tied into because we were able to crack the radio open. It's a secure radio deal, but it was tied into 56 other radios. The odd thing was that it was a UHF, but it was not on a high place, but it was about halfway up a hill. interstate traffic so they could have been communicating on the VHF to talk to the people out in the valley and through these infiltration routes, but then they were able to maybe communicate with the pickup vehicle on this overlook and stuff like that. There's a lot of different ways and you can program different radios like them. radios as to where you can get it so it will pick up on one frequency and transmit on another frequency and a lot of other stuff. But before I burn up all your time, those are just some ideas from practical experience. I'd like to pass on the callers. Over to you, Mark. Absolutely. By the way, again, this is why carrying a few spare radios and having them. And also, a designated RO, even though everybody can carry a radio at this point in time, Having a radio tech whose job is to fill in the different posts including monitoring equipment, if you have a certain frequency that looks to be overactive, even if it's not, let's say it's encrypted and you can't de-encrypt in the field, you can't break whatever they're doing, you can at least monitor the activity and don't forget that you also get a reading determining power output, how hot is the signal. Well remember guys you can use radios as direction finders. Not only can you use them as direction finders, you can also identify the signal was relatively weak about 15 minutes ago. We're now looking at four bars on the meter here and it appears that they're a lot closer and right over there. I don't know who they are, but whoever they are, they're pretty active and they're actually pretty competent because so far we haven't been able to listen to them. We can just listen at them. So it gives you intel that you do know that they are there. Yes, and can you still do so while operating your equipment? Remember, that's the other thing. You may be using the same radios. So, having an RO with two, three, or four radio sets, handhelds, and different grades, depending on what you're doing, you can commit an older radio that may not be as dynamic, may not have the heavier battery pack, longer antenna, but use that as your monitoring unit, or one of several that you have in your kit. And again, you also want to make up a package for the RO so that he has all the bells and whistles in hand, plus he's carrying spares for maybe repairing the field of the other equipment you've got. So heads up on that one. Tim, we're going to do. We're at the bottom of the hour though. Let's do a neutral here for the moment, Ed. We're gonna do it quickly because the hour is seemed to be going fast. We're already headed towards 7 o'clock here We have episode of the hour the 34 rules the new rules that ATF just dropped on us What's going on everybody? Welcome back to guns and gadgets your source for Second Amendment news current events Constitutional conservation and yes, I'm breaking down all of the new proposed rules from the ATF I'm Jared and today we're gonna talk about the brand new proposed rule out of ATF and DOJ that could dramatically change the way Americans build and register NFA firearms. Now before some people panic and think this is another crackdown, this one's actually different. In fact, this proposal is one of the rare times where ATF is openly admitting that one of its own regulations is burdensome, unnecessary, expensive, confusing, and frankly, pointless. And if this new rule goes through, and it probably will, it could eliminate one of the most annoying and costly requirements for people filing Form 1 applications to make NFA firearms like short barrel rifles and suppressors. There's a lot more to this than just engraving. So before I continue on, take a quick break guys. I want to tell you about a company that I personally support and that's Blackout Coffee. If you're tired of the same watered down corporate coffee brands that don't stand for anything, this is the opposite of that. Blackout Coffee is a small American company that actually supports the values we talk about here every single day. And right now they're going all in on something that I think is smart. It's called their coffee club. Instead of constantly reordering, you can just set it and forget it. It just shows up at your door, fresh, no hassle, and you actually save money doing it. They've got a flat price per bag, they've got pre-shipping, and they're even giving you rewards back just for staying in the coffee club. It's just simple and it works. So if you're already drinking coffee every day, which most of you are, you might as well lock it in and stop thinking about it. Head on over to blackoutcoffee.com slash G&G and get hooked up and you'll get 20% off your first order. That's blackoutcoffee.com slash G&G. Go check it out. All right, now buried inside this proposal is something even bigger than engraving. It's an acknowledgement by the federal government that existing markings already satisfy traceability requirements. which completely undercuts decades of anti-gun arguments. We're going to break it all down exactly what the ATF's proposing, why they're doing it, and what it means for Form 1 builders, as well as what this could cost gunsmiths, how this ties into the broader deregulation push happening right now, and why the Second Amendment advocates should pay very close attention to this one. Alright, let's get into this. The proposed rule was published by the Department of Justice and the ATF under docket number ATF-26-0005. The rule is officially titled, Allowing Makers to Adopt Certain Markings for National Firearms Act Firearms. Again, NFA's unconstitutional. And on the surface, this sounds boring and technical, but this is actually a massive deal for anyone who's ever filed a Form 1. Right now, under existing ATF regulations, if you take a regular firearm regulated under the Gun Control Act and convert it to an NFA firearm, for example, turning a rifle into a short-barreled rifle, you're considered the maker of an NFA firearm. That means, even though the firearm already has a serial number and manufacturer markings from companies, say, Daniel Defense or BCM, Palmetto State Armory, Colt Ruger, whatever, they're the ones who originally made it, You still have to add your own markings when you make the form one gun. Your name, your city, your state, all those markings have to meet very specific engraving requirements under federal law. Now for years, people in the gun community have asked the obvious question, why? Why are we engraving additional information onto a fire that already has a serial number? Why add another layer of markings when the ATF already knows who filed the form one? Why require people to spend extra money engraving a firearm that's already traceable? And apparently the ATF finally asks itself the exact same question. Because in this proposal, the ATF outright says that the current requirement is burdensome and unnecessary and does not enhance public safety. Yeah. The ATF is openly admitting that this requirement does not enhance public safety. That's pretty big coming from ATF. According to the proposal, the government acknowledges several major issues with the current system. First, there's often a very limited space left on a receiver because manufacturers already place required markings on the firearm. Second, many people don't have the equipment needed to properly engrave the firearms themselves as the maker. So what happens? They have to hire a gunsmith or a laser engraving company. And the ATF estimates the average cost of that service is around $54 per firearm. I have seen it much higher than that. Now, some people might hear $50 and think that's not really a big deal. But when you combine that with the tax stamp and shipping costs, gunsmith fees, wait times, possible mistakes, and all the hoops already involved in the NFA process, unconstitutional as it is, It becomes one more unnecessary government burden stacked on top of a constitutional right. And the ATF basically says exactly that. The agency has estimated that by eliminating this requirement, it would save Americans approximately three and a half million dollars every year. That's not my opinion, that's their economic analysis in the document. And here's where it gets even more interesting. ATF admits that traceability is not impacted because the firearm already contains the original manufacturer's serial number for identifying information. In other words, the original markings already work. That completely destroys one of the central talking points that anti-gun activists constantly use when pushing registration schemes and serialization mandates. Because if the existing serial number already allows law enforcement to trace the firearm if it was found on the scene of a crime, then why are additional engravings necessary? The ATF's answer now? They aren't. Now let me be crystal clear, this proposal does not eliminate serial numbers, it does not remove all or any marking requirements. that are on the regular manufacturers and this still does not apply to people manufacturing firearms completely from scratch. If you're building an NFA firearm from raw materials like an unfinished block of metal or a homemade receiver, the marking requirements still apply. What this proposal specifically changes is if you take an existing firearm that already has compliant manufacturer markings and you then convert that into an NFA item, you would be allowed to adopt the original manufacturer's markings instead of adding your own. That's the core of the rule. And honestly, from a logic standpoint, it makes complete sense. I mean, think about it. When you file a Form 4 right now, the ATF already collects your name, address, serial number, firearm details, and all of your identifying information from their database. So requiring you to physically engrave your name onto the firearm was always just redundant. And ATF even acknowledges that the tracing process relies primarily on the manufacturer records and dealer acquisition and disposition logs under the Gun Patrol Act, not the additional maker markings added later. Again, that's ATF's language. Now, here's another important angle to the story. The proposal also reveals something we've been talking about for a while on guns and gadgets. There is clearly a major deregulatory movement happening inside of DOJ and ATF right now. Over the last several weeks, we've seen brace rule rollbacks, import rule changes, NFA-related policy reversals, and broader acknowledgments that previous regulatory interpretations went too far. And now we have another one here with this rollback. In fact, ATF specifically states that this rule would qualify as a deregulatory action under Executive Order 14192 because it reduces regulatory costs instead of adding to them. And that is a dramatic shift in tone compared to the last several years of ATF administration. For years, ATF rulemaking felt entirely focused on expanding control. And now we're suddenly seeing proposals that openly discuss reducing burdens on gun owners. But what can they do to make sure that the next administration that hates guns doesn't crank it back up? This doesn't mean everybody should just blindly trust ATF. Absolutely not. This is still the same agency that pushed unconstitutional brace rules, frame and receiver overreach, and countless contradictory determinations over the years. But we also have to objectively recognize when pressure from lawsuits and elections and public backlash and constitutional litigation starts forcing the federal government to retreat. And I think that's exactly what we're seeing here. Now, there is one group that probably won't love this proposal, and that's gunsmiths and people in the engraving business. The ATF itself admits that some small businesses could lose revenue because people will no longer need engraving services for many form one bills. That's true. And there are definitely shops that build part of their business around NFA engraving. But even the ATF says that those engraving services represent only a very small portion of overall gunsmith business activity. And from the constitutional perspective, government should not maintain unnecessary regulations simply because they want to preserve a niche compliance industry. Rights should not require artificial economic ecosystems built around bureaucratic hurdles. Now another thing worth mentioning is that this is still a proposed rule, not final yet, it is published now in the Federal Register, I'll link it below, you should probably make comments on this. And ATF is accepting these comments for 60 days after the publication in the Register which was official yesterday. So yes, there's still a process ahead and honestly I think it's important that gun owners do participate in this process. Because If there's one thing that anti-gun groups do very well and effectively is to flood public comment periods, meanwhile too many gun owners ignore them. Whether you support this proposal or think it should even go even further, comments do matter, so make the comment. And personally, I think this proposal exposes something much larger. If the federal government now openly admits that these extra making requirements, or the marking requirements for makers, They don't improve safety, they don't meanfully help tracing, and they simply create unnecessary burdens, then what other ATF rules fall into the same category? I'm going to continue going through the 34 new proposals they have. If you want to follow them all, I even made a playlist. I'll have it floating above. How many other regulations exist purely because that's how we've always done it? How many administrative rules have survived despite offering little or no public safety benefit? That's the bigger conversation here. Because this isn't just about engraving, it's about the federal government quietly acknowledging that not every gun regulation actually serves a legitimate purpose. And once that door is open, we should start asking much bigger questions. Questions about the NFA itself, about registration, arbitrary classifications, unconstitutional burdens on a fundamental right. Honestly, That conversation is long, long overdue. I want to hear from you all now. What do you think? Do you support this proposed change? Should ATF eliminate even more NFA-related burdens? Do you think this signals a broader shift inside the DOJ and ATF? Sound off in the comments below and if you appreciate the detailed Second Amendment breakdown and reporting that I do here on the channel without any corporate media spin, make sure you subscribe to the channel, hit the bell icon, and share this video with someone who needs to hear it. Also remember this proposal exists because people, we the people, fought back. Lawsuits mattered, elections mattered, public pressure mattered, and refusing to surrender our rights mattered. And that fight is far, far from over. As always, thank you for watching, thank you for your support. I'll see you soon with more here on Guns N' Gadgets. Until then, stay safe, stay armed, and stay free. I'll see you in the next one. Take care. How much confidence do I have? Well, you know my answer to most all of it. By more ammunition. I have full confidence in the direction that they're intending to go across the board. Since they're going for the gusto, minor activity is not a problem for them and deception is their norm, not the exception. Go ahead, caller, jump in there, please. Yeah, this is Tex-Mak. You know, going on the subject we were just listening to with Jared there, They've been coming up with all these rule changes rule changes on bump stocks The pistol braces now short barrel rifle all this stuff, but these are just changes in rules I mean this is done by administration right I mean if another administration comes in that's not quite as yeah, I just it can just change overnight, right? exactly Arbiturian capricious and they are notorious for being constantly arbitrary and capricious and I think right now the only reason they're making this noise is like I said they're trying to figure out how to get everybody complacent before they hit. In other words, you've got to try to get everybody... people aren't going to sleep. Nobody has any faith in anything. The Epstein government, everybody knows it hasn't gone anywhere. The blood sucking, cannibalistic, child molesting crew are the ones claiming they're doing something. And there isn't anything they're going to fix here. Batfaggots are batfaggots. The batfaggots are treacherous slash lying pigs. And that's on their best day, and they don't have any best days. In other words, there ain't nothing good to say about the bastards at all. And I, in any way, no way, shape, or form, what I'd tell you to trust anything that they're doing, because it all comes back down, back down to, they can step right back on all of this and completely flip it in the time it takes for somebody else to walk in there and squiggle a pen. And they don't even really have to do that. What they're doing is they're trying to imply that they're backing off, but they're keeping all of the core components in place. What they're doing is going back to, well, I don't know, let's see, the 1980s to 90s, which by the way were very oppressive and had exciting events like Ruby Ridge and Waco. And by the way, as I've mentioned a million times under these rules that they're talking about, look, we're rolling stuff back. Yeah, well, you murdered a lot of people at the level that you were at. You just wanted to go for the gusto the rest of the way with the crap you're doing now. So it's like, well now that you've seen all the horrors that we can do, look, we're going to be less horrific. We're not going to be as horrific as we were before. Don't you trust us? And the fact of the matter is, no, not at all. I have no confidence in them staying the course or fixing anything, just to reverse. Well, the course they're on is the course they've wanted to be on. And all these people worked for those agencies and departments. They followed every stinking order it was given to murder people in their homes to steal people's lives and time. I've touched them a lot of times. You think that they changed? I just throw them. Yeah, we ain't throwing them any. Well, we will throw them down eventually. I mean, a given point, this is all leading towards the idea that they can catch you with your pants down. You're all supposed to be surprised. Everybody get calm and go back to sleep. No, not at all. I haven't seen any blood sucking baby eaters arrested and Trumpa dump and of course he hates everybody that's pro-American now. All the people help keep Trumpa dump out of jail or help to keep pressure up so Trumpa dump didn't get let's just say set behind bars are the people that Trump and dump is now pissing on while the people who really wanted him behind bars at least when they were play acting for the stage at that point in the game they're all the people that are close to that SOB now. So old Trump and dump showed us showed us real colors and again it's an example it's a demonstration of what we've warned everybody about step by step and it's just continuing. So I have full confidence they're going to keep doing what they've been doing and not any aspect of what they're talking about is legitimate in the first place. Yeah, what the talk was saying, the whole reason these changes are taking place is because the director of the ATF changed. Now, that doesn't mean that if the director changes, his changes are going to stay. Right, it's hard to create. I see people left and right replacing him because they don't do what they want. He may be there now, but give him a week if he pisses off the guys who put him there. Somebody else could be put in that's even worse. We've seen that happen already with this administration. Yep, and again, I don't see it getting better anyway. The only thing they're doing is trying to figure out how to lull everybody into a sense of being stupid. They're hoping that they'll, you know, it's the dumb routine. Maybe you'll just go to, get back to sleep so we can get stuff done. And that's how they're looking at it. And nobody, in fact, again, just in reverse, there isn't anything I can see on the horizon that's going to offer any relief. This isn't either. They're still expecting you to do all the things, the dirty deeds that the NFA demanded. They've gone down to the point where they've even taken the fees completely off, but they haven't gotten rid of the burden of the Admiralty law, the Admiralty scam. It's still sitting there. As long as it's written the way that it is, they can bring that fee back any time they want. Now I think they can increase it because they finally took it down because they were locked into that. the amount that they could charge. Right, it goes back to why did it stay at the level that it was for so long? Well, they had to wait because it's under, what happened in 1933 when they did the War Powers Act, what happened is they froze everything that had to do with legitimate law. We're now in the year 2026 and they're so far away from anybody accepting or acknowledging legitimate law as opposed to the fiction of Admiralty Corporate Law. that they can now start to throw parts away or drop them because people don't have a clue what they do but they're going to lie for the corporation. Lawyers work for the corp. They don't work for us. They work for the corporation. Their purpose is to protect the business. They are sworn to that first and only. Protect the business, not the people. Let an innocent man go to jail. Let an unjust law stand provided it profits the court. Always remember that. It's why they're in a quandary about these decisions because as I've said, how do you make somebody whole? Under the law, under both the common law and the Admiralty Law, if a malfeasance, a malfunction, a failure has taken place and it can be demonstrated, the court is obligated to make all parties whole. And therein lies the rub, because it's like I said, well yeah, look, they dropped all of this, but they didn't drop the idea that you still have to register the gun. And the reason they didn't do, they didn't drop it because they acknowledge it, it's illegitimate. But when we can't do that, is because all parties who have either been charged and released, or who are incarcerated right now, would have to be released, and have the option for open compensation for having been taken unjustly and have had time taken from them illegitimately. So then the states, in this case not the states but the Fed, all of the states pay the taxes don't they? But the Fed would then have to compensate. Also, you have to go through all of the myriad of cases and they don't want to do this. They have to go through and find all the cases and expunge the orders, expunge the rulings. See, the problem here with these pricks where again you pile on a lie upon a lie upon a lie, an illegitimate act upon another illegitimate act, it gets more and more expensive with each additional activity that takes place. It becomes even more excess in terms of its compensation necessity. how much needs to actually be regenerated or returned back to people. And again, how do you do that? You reach into your pocket, give me 11 seconds of your life. Give me 11 seconds back of my life. You can't do that. So that's why there is a biblical guideline for compensation. That's what common law is about. Go ahead, get in there. And I'm up because I'm having a problem with the computer. We're going to be off to the town hall meeting because I'm going to be basically reinstalling a bunch of software on it, see if that fixes the problem, and hopefully we won't have any hiccups during the 8 o'clock if I can get this done in time. Otherwise, there may be a hiccup at the top of the hour because I've actually already started the process, which is why I haven't been able to play music. Not a problem. I'm trying to fix it, but I thought I could do it quick, and it's taking a lot longer than it should. Of course, as we know. Remember, it's spyware, not software. It's all spyware, and useless for the most part. But it's spyware. It's supposed to be useless, sir. That's a job. It's supposed to tie. Wasting people's time is one of the many tools that are part of the trade, demonstrating or helping to try and create frustration. with an activity, air go, frustration, breach, contempt and anger hopefully, and you throw your hands up in the air and you just walk away. Well, we don't do that. We'll just plot through it until we get it right. A walk away I say yes. If I could, I would be on Linux right now. In fact, that's what I've been pushing on Discord. There are a couple of different Linux programs that are out there that people rave about that are close enough to Windows that you can just plug right in and plug and play. Also, again a reminder, if you would like to get hold of us if you have anything to pass on, you can send me an email at libertyatprovide.net. We did get the music request in. I'm looking for a version. I'll be doing that maybe real quick. I've got to eat sometime here. But during the 7 o'clock break, I'll see if I can find us a really good copy of Men of Harlech. There's a certain one I'm looking for. Nobody seems to have posted it or it's been pulled for whatever reason. And if I can find it again, I'm looking for a men's chorus that is a battle chorus because Men of Harlech is a fight song. Always remember that guys, Men of Harlech, if you look the song up, it is a fight song. It's what I've been talking about. It's one of those that's supposed to be an inspiration song. It was a battle song. Okay? I didn't get a chance to take a breath there properly. You've got to practice. You've got to get your lungs going before you start working on a song like that. Ah, close enough. You get the ballpark. You understand. So I knew we were going to see what we could do there. Also, again, this weekend, we'll say hi to all of our friends at all the different facilities. We've got special guests up at Camp Stasa, New Camp Stasa. So again, say hi. We are going to be working on communications this weekend. with that particular group so it definitely behooves you to get in there to the Radio Shack. Did they ever come up with a name for the rustic campsite? I'm waiting. Like I said, I'm going to put a fire under their ass this weekend again because all it takes is a handful of people to vote. Remember, we do have to follow our Constitution, but we are, again, it's a matter of them pinning them down and getting everybody to focus on that particular process. We did get overwhelmed only in that we had a lot of activity, remember, over the last two weeks where we got ahead of schedule. That means everybody pitched in. So everybody was kind of diverted sideways in a positive way. I have the ability to put a stick in the spokes for a minute just so we can get that done. So we'll see what we can do. And that's one of the ongoing projects. Not an if, it's just a when. It's going to be accomplished because it's a small thing in the big scheme of things. That means it should be easy to do. It should be easy to finish up, get it done with and get on down the road to other things like we've said so many times. Also again sportsman's guide don't forget one more time just in case you came in in the last hour They have these pants. They're French. They're over in the They're Italian forestry pants in woodland camo guys. These have a gator type lower leg like the old Swiss alpine fly uniforms They go size medium, size extra large, and size 2x in these pants. They're brand new. They're actually commercially packed. Very well done. They've got zip upper front pockets, a couple extra popcorn pockets, rear box pockets, and the lower leg pockets. But they have a lower water resistant slash anti-poke lower legs. Keep the moisture out from soaking in. Okay, you want to check these out. They're definitely worthwhile. They're about $9 a pair. So you want to take advantage of those. Go check them out. They're over in the clearance section of sportsmansguide.com under the military surplus category. and they're excellent. I have two pairs sitting right here that are mine and I'm going to go buy more here during the break and try to get them before you guys do. God bless our Republic. This is the new world order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in the march. Let's get out of the way. Ed's taking over. We're going to be offline with militia town hall. It's going to be pre-recorded and we will be back at 8 o'clock with the evening intel report. God bless. Bye bye. I can't be taught according to the state You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay attacks you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame, 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. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit 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, most sons of the Republic, arise? To defend the Constitution, the supreme law of the land, preserve our great Republic, and eat God given right. And pray to God, to freedom, pray, as Iowoki vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, but we have ourselves, for even now as tyrants trample, each God given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave. and Southwest. Both inside and outside these United States and we want to say hi to all of our micro AM and FM rebroadcasters especially those operating at the different training sites across the state of Michigan and other locations. And it is Friday! and book 3, a dark anniversary. And it has been a very busy week, but we're now into the work weekend and by a whole day for some of the training facilities, I understand. Again, be careful. We've had a lot of washouts in different areas. It's not our training sites that are messed up. It's the outlying and secondary roads around our training sites that have had problems. So we've cleared our mess up. But in many cases, the townships and the counties can only do so much at a time and they're focused where they can. So slow down because a lot of the dirt roads in the upper part of the state of Michigan, there's some major erosion that took place. Major. So let's not get hurt in the process. Prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Pay attention. Use the brake. It's just how it works. A couple things here real quick. Yes, I did see the report from Colorado. It turns out there is a bunch of other stuff going on with the gun grab activity that they're trying not to report on. Additional legislation that apparently was already in motion, and some of it's already passed, it's just not been given any publicity, even for the most part, in the gun circles. We'll find out more. I've got people there. Some are listening right now that I'll be talking to this weekend. And we may actually have a few friends who are going to be visiting one of the training sites from Colorado. They're bringing us a bunch of pictures where they're surveying all of the what they consider safe houses or high ID points. We've been trading off and everybody is collecting information on ADL, Mossad operation points. Everybody is exchanging so that we have the same database across the whole of the country and they're doing a really great job of getting it done fast. So, everyone will be on the same page and up to speed and there isn't anywhere they can really hide. So, again, if this kicks off, we all know what they're going to try to do. We've seen it before. We already had the playbook. Now, we have to make sure that we unplay them. You all know what that means. You're not going to be playing for very long. And it will be a tit-for-tat exchange. It always is. But again, make sure that you've got your database ready to go. Collect all the DVD and CD disks you can get your hands on. And remember, we don't transfer by any public electronic medium at all. Everybody understands that. For that reason, I also highly recommend that you pull a system, a computer of one type or another, strip it. In fact, you can get hard drive sheep right now in the older format drives. Stuff that's not exciting. That's the first rule. Grab the stuff that is dull. No, it's not the latest widget. It's two or three generations back would be best. You're not going to be putting it on the internet anyway. You're going to use it for data transfer. And you want as much storage as possible because needless to say we're going to be doing a lot of audio and video especially, like the safe houses, you do a complete survey of the surrounding area. Demonstrate, also record what frequencies the aggressor is using, the spy operations are using in the area. and all of that is done CD, you can use memory stick of course too but you've got to have first a baseline system to work with so a standalone computer with as many hard drives, lots of storage on board beef it up with whatever RAM you want in fact older RAM is cheap, cheap, cheap for free so stack it and rack it amazingly enough not hooked up to the internet in any way shape or form And don't hook any other wireless technology up. Here's another thing to remember. Hardline only. Example, I only use hardline, mouse, hardline, keyboards. And every time I see one at a yard sale for free, I grab it. Why? Hey, something on my junk's going to break. Eventually when it does, I'm not going to pay any top dollar because, boy, I can't find that anymore. No, I can find it. I've got a whole pile of them. So you're going to buy it in a sealed tote. And they're dust free and they're ready to go. And all you got to do is unplug this one when it breaks and put the other one on board immediately. And I don't lose any time at all. But for recording and transferring the database, again, deny any access, deny all access by isolating the system for pure, independent intelligence collections operations. Period. That's all it does. You just use your stuff. You don't need to watch anything else. You're not going to be visiting anybody else with your technology. It's serving a very narrow and specific mission. So heads up on that one. Next. Oh, on that note, again, I mentioned, and I will mention it again, guys, if you do a search, we haven't done this enough, there are many different local and ham fest events all over the country that are constantly taking place. You need to take advantage of that. Okay? But if you do a general search, you can find out what's out there and about in your area of operation and then go in. Try to get in any of the ham fest early. You want to be there when the doors open up. Why? It's like a gun show. Most people don't realize you're there when the doors open up. All the dealer specials are right there up front waiting for you as you walk through the door. Now, progressively, there's a lot of other people that, when they get through the door, they're running right to certain locations because they're there with the purpose and they also have experience. You want to develop the same kind of working knowledge about who's who in the zoo and who you need to talk to. And to do that, you need to be there right off the bat. So make a point of getting in there first thing. And pay attention to the specials, piles of something that might be really bargain basement. Not real fancy, typically. They made a deal somewhere, and you're going to make a deal. Everybody profits. The idea of being there is to a degree to profit off the situation, so don't piss and moan about that. But it's the idea that you make a good trade, they make a good trade, everybody walks away happy. Smiley face. This is especially true when you're going to find, for instance, if you have certain older radios that have frequency chips, they have the frequency modules. Usually there's one or two people there that are, that's their specialty. They've been collecting for quite some time and you'll find a lot of interesting stuff sitting around. Also again, have a sharp eye. Pay attention. Sometimes a guy would just pick something up and throw it up on the table and not everybody's paying attention that might have wanted it. You're there for a thing. You can grab it. Again, know what you need to pay or at least get an idea of what things cost. And when you get in there and you look at something and say, oh yeah, I want one of those. I've given an example of something that was rather interesting years ago at the Dayton Hamfest. This guy came in and bought some of the first of the single solar panels that fit on the back ends of car window visors for pulling them down. You could clip them right to well these were about that size. So the same model basically that the radio shed, not radio shed, well yeah they did too, but tractor supply and Harbor Freight have been selling for a while though theirs aren't quite the same quality. And interestingly enough he brought in two pallets from Taiwan. And I walked through the show Dayton Handfest. First thing, it was one of the first aisles we went down. It was down one of the back aisles towards the front of the big complex. And I walked by and said, you know what, we'll come back and get a couple of those, because there were two pallets sitting there. And normally, I've been gun shows, we have the same problem. If you see something you probably like and the price is really good, you better buy it and just carry it with you. So we went down to the end of that particular big long aisle, came back around, and by the time we got back, just slow walking and going over every table and all the junk boxes, just in that two rows, I came back and there were three of those solar panels left on the two pallets. Every last one of them except for a couple were gone and I got the last one. Because there were three people that wanted one, actually they all wanted more. The guy said, hey these are the last three. We've got any more? Nope, this is it. And that was it. Took them on what, maybe half an hour for them to sell out two full pallets that were as tall as my, you know, six foot tall, tall as I stand. So, it happens like that. I'm not saying you're going to see that at your local ham fest all the time, but you will see something like that happen where there's something that you realize, oh, that really is a decent buy. Maybe I should grab those. And again, you have to make a judgment call. But just to be safe, at least grab a few. Maybe you want 10 or 20 of them, and you figure, oh, I'm not going to carry them all over the place. At least you got a couple before everything else walked away, which is good. And you got some. But that happens, get used to it. It's just the way the world works and you're going to enjoy yourself in the process. There's lots of fun things to do. You'll also sometimes, almost always, see something you've never seen before, to go to the Hamfest. You'll learn a lot about radio in general, what is out there and some things you may not have realized existed in the first place. So take the time, check them out. This is the time of year. You want to get out there and get into the Hamfest. And don't forget you're going to have to be investing in antennas and coax. I highly recommend you find a shielded coax. If the single shield is OK, double wall shield is better. And every once in a while, you can find local deals on that if you look around. So that's another thing to take into consideration. Uh-oh, if you see that. Okay, we're about 20 minutes after and again, step policy. Next thing on the list, pretty obvious with regard to the entertaining exploits of participation in the Hamfest sphere, but in addition to that, uh oh, I've got three things going on at once here. I'm multitasking. Interestingly enough, we are going to be seeing a couple of other projects coming online, communications-wise. We have the Channel 31 CB test crew. They go out and establish our CB alternate rebroadcasting technology. A lot of you guys are listening on the CB networks right now out there in different locations. Congratulations. In addition to that, though, we also have our complete alternate communications grid. that has been established and has been well in place for decades. I mean, come on, CB is how old? More than 50 years old, people. Interestingly enough, there has been a big resurgence with a lot of people realizing that CB is a good choice, considering the situation with regard to the amount of issues that are taking place with the control freaks, trying to manipulate all of communications. And CB is a quick niche to get into. It doesn't take long. Everything is off the shelf. Quick to fix, easy to use, very simple to use. Kids keep it simple stupid. And what's good is that more people are putting a part of the integrated system in place on their own that we need. We have to have something immediately following whatever they try to pull to use for local, just conventional chatter communications, if nothing else. It doesn't have to be combat tactical. People being able to do better than two cams with a string and actually just talk to each other, it's pretty powerful. It's a good thing that needs to be in place now. We don't wait till the last minute. Now you don't have to buy in big, but you do need to buy into the program. Seriously. I can't emphasize this enough because the more equipment we have, the greater the level of insurance policy that's in place when it comes time to have to deal with the oppressor. And again, also to help stabilize the population in general. Because it's an anchor. People understand that while there really is something other than sticks and clubs and bongos to try or smoke signals to try and communicate. We're not going to go into the Stone Age. We don't need to. However, everybody needs to step up to the plate now in order for us to make sure that doesn't happen or that there isn't as much of a lag time to get to an effective performance level that demonstrates the value and need of the project. See how that works? We've got to get everybody out there in play and they need to be on the up curve with regard to learning experience. So that means getting more people involved now. and promoting this in every way that you can. What's really cool is that I'm running into a whole lot of people that are, especially like I said this last month. The good thing is because of all the treachery and betrayal that everybody is seeing, and it's so open because of the arrogance of the Zionist. Everybody has now got an ear to the rail, so to speak. They're actually listening. When you say something, they're paying attention. They're actually asking intelligent questions that are important to deal with the threat slash the problem that we face. And this is happening much more rapidly, I think, than some people expected. So as is always the case, I will say this happens every time. A lot of people have been caught flat-footed because they thought they had more time to prepare people. The problem is you've got a lot more in the way of individuals that are hard chargers because of the threat that they see. And they in turn are a lot more demanding, they're a little more dynamic in terms of interest. That's a good thing. It's not bad at all. But what it means is you need to be there with answers. Now, again, it doesn't mean you can't step back if you don't know what to say. You don't know, I don't know what the answer is to that. We need to be prepared, though, to step up. and be able to present all the information available at least to get into the basic system to be able to get people up and online as quickly as possible. Again also promote multiple technologies not just CB but CB is built into our society because of theater. Television series, movies, And even though, yes, that's way back in the taillights, a lot of this stuff is replayed, a lot of people relate to. That's why I use audio-video expression. Hey, remember this movie? Remember this scene? Because people can picture that. There you go. There's something that they can actually, you can imagine, you can wrap your brain around when I'm trying to describe something. So, again, people have learned a lot about the concept. They just may not have it physically in hand. Well, now they want to put it in hand. They want to get it in motion. And we need to be ready with the answers, where to go, what to do, how to get it done, what you need to watch out for. And again, whatever guru you choose, you don't have to, I'm not going to tell you to micromanage your life. That just isn't going to happen. There are a lot of good people out there who have great experience. You can go to a number of different locations for source material. It'll give you the basic knowledge base that you need, and away you go. But the basics, at the very least, a basic system is not that expensive. You can go throw the dice with Facebook Marketplace, for instance. There's a ton of stuff that's showing up there. In fact, there's some really good radio solutions right now in bundles even. Of course, to acquire new CB, but not used, there's a whole ton of stuff out there in the China sport world even right now in CB. It's amazing how many unique little radios they've actually put into service in our offering. I don't know if it's just because of the American market or simply because there is still a lot of overlap with all of this technology that never went away. The more rustic the location, the more likely the system survived. You know, the older radio survived, older type. So that's basically what we're facing right now. That's why we're, again, for, you know, for I should say the Chinese, why they're able to market it and it helps us out because there's other equipment that we might want to experiment with. At the very least, we can use it because it's so cheap for bait boxes, for deception and countermeasures, which is another thing we need to always remember as part of the trade. Let's remember that something we were talking about with Mr. Nasser, with Mike, in the last hour, two hour block, radio operator. Radio operator committed to specifically that being that individual's area of expertise with additional training by our own core, is not just monitoring the battle frequencies that are part of our battle chatter inside the fire team, the squad, the platoon, the company, but also monitoring other communications that are known and perhaps, again, even being able to tap into alternate slash what we consider to be civilian sector communications, CV being one of those that's automatically going to tune up. and being able to cross over into that area for the purpose of maybe jumping outside of our communications sphere to be able to communicate with people, kind of like going to a separate telephone when your phone's not working right. Think about it that way. But also monitoring because you know that just like the other battle chatter you're curious about, there may be some other activity you need to know about within your area of operation. Other people are paying attention and notice something maybe that you didn't. monitoring radio and observing that particular battle chatter or communications going on might save your life. Something to think about there. So this is another reason that CB has to be in your inventory now. There are radios that do everything. What do I mean by that? There are radios that are quite sophisticated. A lot of you go up and down the radio band. They're great if you're in a plane or if you're in a limited space operation. Or you wanted to isolate, put somebody out in isolated spot and you need to drop it fast and make it expendable, even though these rigs are not cheap. The problem with a radio that does everything is that when it fails, you lose all radio. I want you to remember this. This is the one thing I'm adamant about. Whatever you buy, I can't change the situation. But you should have a separate radio, a separate rig for CB, a separate rig for 2 meter, a separate rig for UHF and VHF, a separate rig for every different element of the radio spectrum that you're going to operate in. That is already established. FRS radios, they're FRS based radios. In fact, remember, it's been now three years ago, four years ago, I was running into all of these FRS tabletop based radio stations that were part of an administrative rig. The unit actually covered a lot of other technologies. I bought a bunch of them, only got them for free actually. They only bought a couple of them for a dollar a piece. Then I read one of the information manuals and said, wait a minute, it's got an FRS frequency. No, it's got the entire FRS battery of frequencies on board. Well, wait a minute, it's got a 12, no, 14 watt, it's got a 14 watt transmitter. And it doesn't look like what it is. It's really interesting. So don't forget that you need to pay attention to stuff that you run into, especially at estate sales. Now that was a matrix thing because I only ran into those who had a very short period of time and I haven't seen much of any since. and I found them from a multiple number of sources in estate sales, resale shops, etc. and then they just kind of vanished now, is it because maybe people aren't getting rid of them? It would make sense if somebody woke up and realized, hey, that'd be a good thing to keep. I'm not holding my breath on that one, by the way, but for whatever reason, I got hold of quite a few of them and they're actually integrated into our FRS grid, separate from everything else. So there are a lot of other solutions. Now the reason, like I've said, when you go to a handfest, You may see something that, wow, that's kind of interesting. Well, wait a minute. What is that? And you find out, well, it does cover the operating frequencies you're using, but it's not tactical or it's not tactically oriented in terms of how it's set up and designed, but it will serve your purpose. And if you can take that radio and replace one of your mobiles and put a base radio in place at a location using it for a hub, And also as a repeater by the way, don't forget that. What's interesting is now you've got another mobile radio that's out where it's supposed to be. Or you've got a mobile radio you can keep on standby that you have you carry in addition to the base radio which gives you greater range to talk to whoever might be a field operating under the, you know, at that present time. You know, in other words, being able to actually deal with the whole deck and not be out in terms of somebody beyond range, etc. So anyway, ideas. I'm not just complaining about the problems. It's easy to complain about the problems. Everybody does that. You're all going to die. We're all doomed. And there's no solution. Oh my god. They're going to take anything. We're going to blow them out of their boots. Time comes. We're going to finish them and get rid of them because they need to be gone. That's what we're going to do. We aren't going to surrender our freedom. We're not going to surrender our liberty. We're not going to let them burn the Bill of Rights. They're already trying to. We're going to have to burn their fingers off. In fact, we're going to follow right up the arm, take your head off. That's what we're going to have. We're committed to that. That's the plan. Anyway, okay, let's see if Ed was able to get everything up. Maybe he did. Maybe he did not. We will find out. We're going to do two mock James Bond themes. One is a Bond theme, but I thought the other one should be. And again, Let's make sure if I didn't have any others that were higher on the request list for the moment. That happens. I must be fair, as they say. Let's go here. And again, you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. And, well, we might choose a different direction to go. And if you could, I mean one more page here people. I've got so many requests and unfortunately not enough time ever to get all done. Here we go. Gin Wigmore dash Hey Ho. Hey Ho by Gin Wigmore and then the actual bond themes since they had about two or three requests. We played this a while back and somebody wanted to hear it again which is okay. It will keep them kind of associated. How's that sound? Adele with Skyfall. So the first one is going to be Jen Wigmore, Hey Ho, and the second is Adele with Skyfall. And that's for our friends in the first request is from West Virginia. Hold on here. Let me get the other three, four. And the Skyfall request is from O-O from O-I-O. Here we go. Nothing that you cannot find. The thon I cannot take. Our back is a beautiful here on Liberty Tree Radio. We're past the bottom of the hour, heading into the work weekend the rest of the way. If you are traveling, as I said before, watch the secondary roads. If you're going in after dark, Accidents can still happen. Years ago, one of my uncles actually had this happen where a washout, like the ones we're hearing about up north, took place and somebody removed the barrier signs because they thought it would be funny to see somebody get hurt. And he ended up not touching the brakes and dropping into a washout that was about, well probably I'd say, what, 22 feet deep? It was the width of the length of the vehicle and I was back quite a few years. He walked miles with a gash in his forehead that was from one side of his head to the other, split his scalp wide open right at the top of the forehead, bleeding all over the place. We had to go respond to that. I remember when I was very young. So let's avoid that. Pay attention. Again, if it looks questionable, how about slow down and stop? I know sometimes it just doesn't register, but I'm kind of giving you a pre-warning because we have had some issues up in the training area with regard to the regular road net. So let's play it safe. Go slow. And if it is in question, stop. Just stop. That's all you got to do, man. Just stop. Very straightforward. Also, again, don't forget pioneering tools and this is why you need radio in addition to all the other technology we have talked about. Because every once in a while, radios, you don't think it's going to work for you, depending on where you are. Michigan, actually, every state of the union I've traveled has radio voids. With all the money spent, we still have radio voids all over the place where a cell phone doesn't work. So, don't assume, oh, I'll be able to just jump on my cell phone. No, that's why you need the alternate communication. CB jumps over real estate. AM, it's long wave. It does really good at what it does, when it needs to. It's not perfect. I'm not saying it's perfect. But it's a hell of a lot better than, like I said, trying to shout out the back 40 and hopefully catching somebody's attention. And it's reasonably priced also. That's the big thing. Next, real quick here, oh before I forget, I want to do this again. Attention, attention, attention. Over at Sportsman's Guide, this is a quartermaster thing, I've got it in my hand, you can probably hear the plastic, these are a patent brand, they are Italian. All of the information on all the tags and the labels is in Italian, yeah I know. These are brand new. They are Italian forestry pants in woodland camo. They're about $9 a pair. They have size medium, size extra large, and size 2X. They're literally brand new in a pack. They come with a little pouch with, even a little Ziploc bag, with spare fasteners that you might damage or lose. So you have replacements of need be for the snaps and for buttons. So they fit well. They have zipper front pockets where your normal insert top pockets are. They've got a couple little popcorn pockets below. They also have the rear fanny pockets. You normally see in a pair of pants. Plus they have the popcorn pockets on the legs. But these are a waterproof, slick side bottom. from the top of the flap of the lower thigh pocket. So these have like a chafe slash a water repellent slash, you know, think of them as leg protectors, so to speak. They're very much like the Swift Alpin Flage original uniforms that were done on the Herringbone twill. Although these are in, let me read the label again, I got it right here. These are 65% polyester, 35% cotton. And they're basically the same cloth base as the old Korean woodland uniforms. But these are new. This is all brand new. These are Patton brand. You can look them up. Let's put it this way. They're so fanatical. Even the snaps have the Patton logo on them. They're really good to wear. I've already got a pair. I've already tried them on. Fit is good. I recommend you pick up a few pairs at least. These are great. Like this morning, we ended up with a whole bunch of dew because of the warm cold situation. We still got a lot of cool air. And so rather than being soaked through to the skin and then having body heat pulled and you being uncomfortable, these pants are designed to prevent that from happening. They're again, they're Italian forestry pants. Now these are just the regular slacks slash pants. They have just regular pant material. They have another one that are lined. Now they're more expensive and you'll see them listed. But they're also in OD Green, not in Woodland Camels. So if you're listening and you've got Woodland Camels on your mind, your unit uses Woodland. This is typical, but these are a little higher quality than the Italian military uniform pants. In that respect, they'll match up with the other Italian pattern, a woodland. They're all American slash Italian woodland pattern. So they'll integrate with the rest of your uniforms, but the price is great. Seriously, for under $10, you're getting a really good pair of pants. Now even when they were a lot more expensive, they were still a good investment. But again, they have medium, extra large, and 2x. If you're large, grab the extra large. In fact, it wouldn't be bad to have a little extra space in the pants anyway, because typically, again, you're going to want to maybe put a thermal layer underneath it, depending on the season. These will really be great for spring, where we are now, and fall. Now the other thing about this is also help with you know, critter and different types of bitey things out there, thorny things too. So the pants, but especially basically like you got a pair of built-in gators set up with these pants. So check them out over at www.sportsmansguide.com. When you get there, go to the clearance section, there were deals, tap that clearance at the very bottom. When you get to the clearance, there's a series of subjects up in the upper left-hand corner. Go to military surplus. That will eradicate most of the junk. You can, of course, go Italian surplus clearance and they will pop up that way if you want to do a quick search. Sometimes that works. They're site iffy on that. But they are definitely listed in the deals slash clearance section under military surplus. And again, it's patent brand. You'll see what I'm talking about. You actually don't reference them in the write-up, forgive me. But I was surprisingly happy. I'd have been happy no matter what because, hey, if they fit me, they're going to get used. And I'm going to see how I can destroy them because I do a lot of work. But in this case, I'm very satisfied with the product and I'm going to buy more immediately. I couldn't do it during the one-hour break, but as soon as I get away from the other radio we're doing tonight, then I am going to grab at least three more pairs of these for myself and buy some for other family members too, who I didn't realize I forgot I should have probably grabbed them the first time around. They're definitely worthwhile. That's over at www.sportsmansguide.com. Go to the clearance and go to the military surplus and it is Italian forestry field pants. Easy to find and they're woodland camouflage. That's the only color they have in these pants. The others, well they show them in woodland but they're not. They're only left in OD green for the cold weather slash insulated. Do we have a caller? Yes, hello Mark. This is Mike down here in Arizona land. Just as a confirmation heads up, I sent you that requested information about one hour ago. Thank you. These pants would be perfect if you're on an... These are great for this season, this type of weather. A lot of guys were up before dawn. You're out in the field. These pants would be perfect for that scenario. You know, for that situation. Actual, you know, combat operations. Of course, they're using it for forestry work, you know. So, whatever that is in Italy, I'm sure it's the same kind of forestry work we do here. Protecting the animals or eating them quite quietly and silently while nobody's looking. Did I say that? Oh yeah, probably true. Anyway, remember whoever's out there with the Forestry Service gets the bunnies first and the deer and everything else. So heads up. Anyway, oh, I see that. Next, and again we've got about seven minutes. Also, over at CDNN Sports and Delta Team Tactical, there are a number of really good bundle buys. Now CDNN does quite a few, but Delta Team Tactical and there are a couple other 80% lowers have some 80% lower bundle kits or I should say parts kits that in addition there have a 80% or 70 what is it 76% receiver for the Glocks. That's what they've gone to now so that they're, you know, that far, you know, beyond safe with regard to what they're offering. The bundles are very much worthwhile to the point where, again, do the price. If you break down the pricing, which is easy to do with the page, you'll see that what you're getting is you're saving about $100 on each of the, if not $140 or so, depending on the kit. So, if you're looking for a solution to put certain weapons together because you're short, this is a solution to, again, bargain base with the project out so you're not having to hock your first born male child to get the job done. Because I know a lot of people are lamenting. Nothing is getting cheaper. Several people have done videos now about what I said a month ago. It has gotten to the point with food prices where it is cheaper to buy and eat MREs, if you find the right discount, than it is to buy from the store, and that's true. The Dollar Tree and Dollar General, in fact, it's amazing, Dollar General actually has a few more of the old dollar items still on the shelf, actual dollar items. And they're the original one pound of beans or whatever. They won't last long, and it looks like they're pretty thin already. They only have a small amount of product on the shelf. Don't forget that you have major surplus. They have those $19.95 bundles of MRE meals. You go take a look at it. It's over in the MRE category at major surplus. I've ordered quite a few of those because it's actually a very good price to affect one package. Just one package is perfect for a Mali large or an Alice large fill up. You throw all your other junk in there, take that pouch, I'll open up the bag, everything's in, stack it and rack it in your kit and you are done. You don't have to search around except for hot sauce. You're going to need hot sauce. No matter what you do, you're going to need hot sauce. But otherwise, majorsurplus.com, majorsurplus.com. Don't forget also that... That's why I keep all the hot sauce and stuff from Taco Bell. Yeah, oh yeah, well they're perfect because they're individual just enough to get the job done and you're done you're finished just open it up squeeze it all on and At least there's some flavor there sometimes with some of the MREs Not so much until you add the hot sauce. It even makes aliens taste better Yes, especially the dark oily, seagully, flavory after meat. But that's mostly because when you're cooking them, you don't realize they're human until after you've broiled them for a while. It smells like a used tire. And they keep screaming, I'm a human, I'm a human. You can tell when they're finished cooking when they stop screaming, I'm a human. Except the outer skin is kind of, well, like an old tire that you burned. Then you get to the soft tissue on the inside. Yeah, I know. Just look at it as that other human... You're simulating what the government does. Eating human beings. You know, we're raping little kids. No, we're not going to do that either. Wait a minute. Yeah, as it is, again, barbecue sauce makes up for everything. Hot sauce makes up for everything. It would be a good idea to have a little bit of both and the little packets are great. Or, again, watch... Go over to... Big Lot's not with us anymore, but Ollie's... And many of the other still distressed merchandise stores do have some pretty good buys on hot sauce and things of that nature. So I want to take into consideration perusing those shelves. I keep all my leftover barbecue sauce from McDonald's and Burger King too. Like you said, those are the Ryan Mount too. Well, one of the important things here is just variety. Because again, most people, me, I don't care. I mean, food fatigue doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned. You ever not eaten? If you starve enough, it doesn't make any difference what it is. You'll eat it. Now, we're not talking about being a cannibal, but we're talking about the idea that there is no such thing as unexciting food when you haven't had any food, and you're going to run into this more and more in the future. So be prepared for that problem. But you can make it a little more interesting with just a little bit of forethought and this is what we're talking about. So, organize now, collect now for what you need later and when you're done, be a very happy camper. For MREs, yes, somebody else is asking here, yes, Apex Gunpart still has the pallets of humanitarian rations. Those bags are a full day's ration in theory, about 2,000, I think, what did they say, 2,800 calories at least. The argument is that somebody in the field, the average American, needs about 3,000 in 600 to 4,000 with hard work. Okay, actually labor, doing manual labor, which is what infantry operations are. So, take into consideration that if you have the humanitarian power, as I've said before, collect spam or whatever you've got in the way of treat cans and sardines and what you do is with every ration pack, hand out a can of sardines or a can of spam or a can of treat, spams were expensive. Most people won't even, won't be buying it now. Used to be, but not anymore, so I understand that. But the can of meat is going to make up for the difference with proteins and fats. The meals that are humanitarian and for that matter even the US military ones are typically kind of bland because that way they're neutral for people who are fussy about eating. Once again those military personnel typically haven't gone without. They've been pampered so they're not used to the idea of, you know, get used to it, you know, get over it, at least you got food. That's going to continue to be a problem for a little bit, but not for long, because the farther you get away from the jump off date, the thinner the food reserves get, the sooner everybody's going to learn to eat what they got. But in the meantime, you're going to have people doing goofy things. If somebody doesn't want to eat their food, take it and eat it yourself. Don't hesitate. Don't try to coax them. Don't try to fight them. They'll learn. A few days worth of, you know, like I said, starvation. They'll learn. Won't even be starvation just grumbly tummy. They'll learn but most important again Also with apex is you can make deals if you are going to order a bunch of the humanitarian rations Yes, there are also some sources through eBay that were quite decent. I don't know if they're still there. We'd have to take a look our listeners can let us know about that but That is another solution. There was one company that had humanitarian rations for I think it was one was $16.50 a case. We had to buy you had to buy five cases and it included shipping. Now that means they got those from whatever stores for ridiculously cheap price. Which is probably true because wherever these humanitarian rations came from somebody bulk about one of the auctions. Again think about it this way you can mix up your rations and meals anyway you've got regular MREs you've got freeze dried and you've got the humanitarian rations. Well, you mix them up. That makes for a wider flavor range and wider cuisine to draw from when the time comes. And I pack up my back, I load up my backpack that way. I actually do a mix of different food stuffs that we have on the shelf. And that way, again, I've got a unique menu to work with and didn't cost me anything special. Didn't require a whole lot of extra labor or anything. But gets the job done fills the void allows me to get on with the mission The other thing there too is yes carbohydrate supplements Candy is not a bad solution. It's not never again. Some of you have diabetes and other issues. So neophy ignore what I'm saying there Needless to say you're gonna have to come up with other solutions, but there are a lot of other products out there What we're looking at is purely ways to provide calories to the system so that the system doesn't crash Your body remember you're a fighting machine you got to keep you functional and again fats especially are critical in that respect Especially where we're in the winter clean of the northern climb the winter area winter belts and in Michigan you're in the Upper Peninsula We're talking Arctic weather. Don't forget that go ahead call or jump in there who we have Like to see I'm straight. I'm a lean mean fighting machine All right. Yeah Well, leaner by the minute, especially if you don't have enough food, leaner to the point where, well, dude, we got to do something about this. We're going to have to kill a deer. We have to do something. I would also point out that water, again, water and then more water, don't forget, well, I've got it. I get it anytime I need it. Yes, the electricity is, the wall lightning is still there. But if it goes, you don't know how long it's going to take before you can get the pumps or anything else running. Maybe you don't even have that resource, which means you should be planning ahead. Water is life, so make sure that you have good water storage on the shelf. And that is a priority, the dryer the environment. But hey, you can die of dehydration, even in the winter. In fact, it's a big problem in the winter because everybody seems to assume that you're probably taking in moisture. Usually everybody's bundling up and trying to avoid making contact with the planet in general, especially, you know, again, the winter weather. And so people don't observe or notice when a person is sliding because of dehydration. Harder to see under all that gear. And it doesn't take long for the person to flop over and become a casualty that you didn't really need. We don't want to carry anybody if we don't have to. You're supposed to carry yourself. We're right, oh, we're past the top. We gotta get outta here. For everybody, guys, again, goin' to the weekend, be careful. Enjoy yourselves. Remember, we have a big week coming up next week also with all of the other training interaction activity with communications on Wednesday. We'll see you at that baby shower up at Fort Medding on Wednesday. They hired out the chapel for that, the events building chapel. So that's cool. And we, any guys, it was built to be used. As long as you don't abuse it, that's all we ask. God bless our Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we are on the mark both day and night. Stay focused, stay the course. Bad guys are in motion too, don't worry. We just need to be ahead of them a little bit. We don't have to beat them by a full lap. We just gotta beat them. That's all. In fact, we just gotta be still standing once we're done. And I'm gonna make a point to make that happen. Anyway, let's get out of here. Have a good weekend. Be careful. We'll see you on Monday right here on Liberty Tree Radio. Have fun. Bye bye. If a man lose everything he owns, if he truly lost his worth Or is it the beginning of a new and brighter birth?
