Wait till the second hour Edward if you could if Eddie's right there Let's do guns and gadgets today's video. It may be more than one There's some interesting stuff that's going on virtually across the state of Michigan right now Everybody got a heads up. We know where everybody is and bad guys on the other side But I haven't had a chance to look at the latest guns and gadgets. So whichever one's the latest for today Let's go ahead and post that you're listening Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg calm but guns and gadgets is on YouTube go there subscribe to you know the channel and Share here we go Tweek a little distortion are yours? Suppressors from Lear gg.com magazines go legislators to histories in the issue of suppressors at an issue in the shooting community The National Firearms Act regulations on suppressors are an unconstitutional infringement and should be abolished. Congress to act and empower Americans to get their hearing. Foreignly firearms are regulated under the National Firearms Act. This requires individuals to obtain approval for a vow called Tobacco Firearms Day items. Say someone experienced a suppressor or longer. There are seven co-sponsors. The Senate was pulled up as previous version that was in the previous here it is on the screen. The Bush Act is found in the amendment made section section shall apply with respect to transfers after the Board of 1986. By adding at the end the first and acquiring or possessing a firearm silencer in accordance with Chapter 44 of Title 18 of the United States Code shall be treated as meeting any registration and licensing requirement for the National Firearms Act as the date of the enactment of the subsection to such silencer. Here's the preemption of Section 927 of Title 18 U.S.C. is amended by adding at the end the following. Notwithstanding the making, transferring, using, fedescing, or transporting a firearms silencer, including at the Republican baseball game practice to play for other people. Every time this gets close, we get it through the house, I think we could. It sits right now, I think we could. 60 votes in the Senate, that's obvious. Both sides of the aisle, regardless of who they are. We are back. It is a little past the bottom of the hour. It is Thursday. It is LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. and libertytreeradio.org that you are listening to right now. It has been a very busy, busy week and we're not winding down. We're, there's no winding down for anything. We're headed into the weekend, which is gonna be more work and labor intense as we go week by week with the number of people that are coming into the militia fold. We have another wave of what we basically would say is, oh my God. interest to the point where we're going to be expanding a series of meetings. Somebody asked me to come to Pennsylvania. I might. We're probably going to be in Washington, D.C. Did I say that? Well, you never know. We could be. Washington, D.C. Scratch, scratch my cheek. What part of Washington, D.C. are you part of? Oh, I'm not. But you never know. We might actually be... broadcasting from there very shortly as a matter of fact. So for everybody again there's a bunch of interesting things happening. I understand West Virginia, the Western West Virginia militia, Western West Virginia we got a I've been up on the ridge of the back hills there before and a better country as a matter of fact we had some really great times You can't get there from here. One of the meetings, the bears came in at night. We knew they would probably be there. But the bears wander through the camp at night. Black bears, they're not really a big problem. It ain't no grizzly bear or brown bear. It's a black bear. So as long as you let them know you're there, they typically leave you alone. Some of the best equipped and organized militias in the country, I would put them in the top 10%, are located in both Virginia, southern Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, and they are squared away. Everything from medical support years ago. In fact, the dock units that are there are some of the finest. A lot of prior service, they've recruited other service people that they trained, so it's multi-generational and they've done nothing but expand. In fact, all the people that they spit and pissed on with the military with what they did helped to teach everybody a lesson. And those people are in the fold where they need to be. And in our camp, where we are desperately needing more and more medical support to prepare for what's coming. Also, again, I got the message from Iowa. We've had a request to go out to Iowa. Now, we've been out to Iowa before. It's been a while. But actually, we go through or near Iowa every so often, as you know. But we may be able to do that. It's going to be a straight in, straight out. It's not that far a drive. And we've gotten, we've already worked this math formula out years ago so we can handle it. It's just a straight through drive and with other personnel going along anyway, then we get the rest we need to be able to perform at the other end. So, yes, I am looking at being in Iowa shortly. And it will be either during the week, if it is during the week, it will be probably a 24-hour stay because I will be speaking at more than one location. and then we'll be coming straight back. So again, we may do a round robin trip on the way through. We'll be tagging with somebody else in one of the other states. We don't go near a Chicago ever, ever. I don't go to Chicago anymore. I used to go there all the time. Do not go to Chicago anymore. But there's a lot of other places in the roundabout area where we can have that function. Well, we totally do. Yeah, totally do. Another place we don't like to go. Well, we can live there though. That's not as bad, but it's tootly do is interesting too. Yes, it's been that way for a while. Tootly do. That's a little running joke if you don't remember the old Tom Toms. of whoever was doing the interpretation of pronunciation for the Tom Toms, the first generation. It's like first time I was traveling with Sergeant Ellsworth and he goes, listen to this. In three exits, you will turn left to toodly do. And it's like turn left to doodly do. Where the hell is to, oh, to-lead, but however they came up with it, toodly do. So, okay, cool. Well, that's not it, but I guess it's a great way to keep everybody confused so that you can convince them of just about anything, I guess, given the opportunity. But it was rather fascinating. And we do other parts of the Midwest right now, very quietly some stuff, but others, general invite. And this is true with the situation with Iowa. Again, heads up guys, we will probably be out your way soon, as in very, very, very soon, unless things kick off otherwise. And when we travel, it's always assumed that things could happen while you're on the road. So if it kicks off there, we have to plan, try to figure out how best to, you know, exfiltrate out of where we are back to where we belong. Just how it works. And you all should be thinking that way constantly with everything that you do. That's where we are in this with this, you know planet caravan that we're in right now And a dude that's like black Sabbath man planet, you know caravan get it. No, probably not so Let's see next on the list. Oh, you know what? We're a music request and I like this song anyway, but if somebody said you haven't played this in a while and for Carl in As a matter of fact in Kansas, K and K, Carl, no it's probably C, so C and K or K and C. Carl in Kansas, Ed if you could. We don't have time to play it so we'll play it now is Privateering and Carl in Kansas. So this is another music request. Carl in Kansas, you're taking control of the station here in a minute. Privateering, by the way the cover of that album is rather interesting. It looks like a van I saw just a few minutes ago down the street before we started the program. Also, a reminder that with all the things that are going on right now, if you do have the time, I highly recommend that you go through your nuclear, biological, and chemical defense technologies. This should be a high priority right now. We are going to be talking more about this through the rest of the day. nuclear, biological and chemical defense. This includes chem suits, gas mask, chem hood for the mask if possible. Some of your chem suits have a built-in hood, but they're still a separate hood for the mask itself. Now, these systems were built with a whole person's system in mind. So remember, that's why you have some things when you're mixing and matching that overlap more than they need to. But... Here we go. We're gonna go privateer and for everybody out there again actually the name of the album too That's the title track for the for the album. Not just the song and This is Liberty Tree radio interestingly enough something that you things they try to not teach you Used to know about John Paul Jones at least you might hear at least about one captain John Paul Jones eventually Admiral by the way John Paul Jones. Well, what is John Paul Jones famous for? While the war was taking place on American soil and you always see all the negative weezer, whiner, pissing and moaning and oh it was horrible and oh we could never have succeeded and oh we were failing in this. Well, literally the privateers and the, you know, Navy that was put together ad hoc immediately took the war to England. You do know that, right? When you read about it, I am fascinated about how they present, because remember, it's feudal resist, you'll be absorbed, the patriot effort, if it were to fight, the enemy is so powerful, it could stop every, no, couldn't, couldn't stop anything. If you look at the U.S. internal struggle, the way you look at the American War for Independence, and while they're busy fighting at far points or many points around the country, you at your discretion, as long as you're willing to, you know, again, motivate the materials and the personnel, can attack at your choosing wherever you wish. You do understand that right? See that's the part they don't want you to think about. Well wait a minute, you know Washington before Valley Forge just troops were you know, not getting paid and stuff wasn't showing up guys from the moment that we were able to put Sail up to go against the British against the crown We had merchant marine converted to privateers In fact, there was a big complaint about the third and fourth year of the war because we needed supplies and we needed everything to still operate because our coastal country needed ocean-going vessels. You know what the problem was? And I've told you this many times that, yeah, while the Army didn't have that much in the way the Continental Regulars didn't have that much or as much in the way of firepower, all of the states had tremendous available resources in terms of defense capability, but they needed it to protect the coast. And of course, to defend merchant marine activities, everything from fishing to transporting any number of other materials, especially bulk raw materials that we needed to continue to function. Guess what? John Paul Jones knew that England was an island state, understood the politics. Everybody else did too. So Franklin and many others argued for advancing immediately an aggressive offensive force. No, that's not possible. We were on our knees. We were always defending. We were, no we weren't. No, in fact, I want you to go look up the actions of John Paul Jones and where did he fight them? Where did he fight the British? Well, it was in the Atlantic. Yeah, it was. I always love how they try to keep it nebulous. You know what? Most of his actions were so close to England that quite literally the people came out of their houses in the villages and up to the bluffs or down to the beach and were able to watch as American privateer frigates and man o' war engaged British surface ships of all types and fought running battles, in many cases with victory, the final solution for, oh, not the British Navy, the Patriots. You do know that, right? No, it's funeral resist everything was weezer. We were always down for the count of blah blah blah well again The bond home Richard is the story that most of you know about In the story that even as he as he fought the first one to that particular battle He was losing his ship and he stepped off it as it was sinking beneath the waves anybody remember that story Well, it was a little longer than that, but he did finally strip everything off the ship that they could yes They let her go, but they took the enemy ship as a not just a prize but a replacement combat vessel. Go ahead, jump in. Hey Mark. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. Yeah, the reason why the Bon Ami Richard was going down is because it was hit by a French friendly fire. Thanks. Right, you remember they were working in teams. Yeah, and not only that, we had other, none of that, we had other allied privateers riding with him too. Not always as reliable as you might think. Go ahead, jump in. Hey Mark. So, I just want to mention, actually it was kind of a hardship for the Navy when they were recruiting because they would pull into these coastal towns and say, you know, the recruiters would go into town and say, hey, we're recruiting, we're going to go fight the British. We're going to be down at the ship. Come meet us at the dock. And these guys would enthusiastically go on down there. And as soon as they found out that it was not a privateering ship, it was instead a naval ship. they suddenly lost enthusiasm. They had no problem in recruiting for a private hearing. Right, because you got a cut. They got to keep some, yeah, yeah, you got to get the movie out of it. That motivates people real quick, guys. See, that's the whole point. It's like, remember what they said in the Patriot? Any bounties? He goes, no, but you get to keep what you take off the enemy and you can sell it back to me. Remember that? He brings that up. That was the equivalent to, you know, what would you be doing on land? Basically the same thing. Whatever you do, strip off the enemy. You know, you can bring it and sell it back to me or sell it yourself, of course. So privateers, that's the whole point here. Again, what's interesting is they would go out in small fleets. engage in what they were trying to intercept. Now let me qualify something here too because it was talking about how they were intercepting American commerce. Well yes they were because they were trying to disrupt our ability to produce. What's interesting is that the ability of the armed merchant marine slash privateers to go out and do what they did and especially since It was like grabbing smoke because there was no overall regimented command. There was a basic theme of what they wanted to do. Well, what were they trying? Well, most of the metals and other materials in terms of ores were coming from Norway and from the Scandinavian countries across the channel there, north end. to England. And so the privateers would swing in, depending on the season, and would literally be attacking and destroying the lifeblood of the both the armaments industry and the British Navy. And let's remember that timber, oakum, jute, everything else would be needed. Guys, it was the land of sale, it was the world of sale. And those items are all things that are needed to keep that ship moving in a float. And if you can either capture the ship and take it home so your Navy has it, which by the way, like you know, we just mentioned, when you got it back to the United States, if you could take the booty back, you got a percentage of whatever the value of the product was. So that motivated you to get really good at not sinking ships, but taking ships. Needless to say, those ships then also became part of the Merchant Marine or were modified and improved and became impromptu gunships to help support the many, many different secured areas. that required patrolling vessels and or offshore battery afloat, etc., etc. There's all kinds of things are going on. You've never, the detail is much more interesting than the plastic shallow expression that you either see in school or the shallow expression always misleading that you see in Hollywood productions. And so that's one of the things that we need to recall here. And again, the Navy It was a separate body unto itself, and one of the promises that also needed the support. It's kind of a good-bad because the privateers were able to acquire a lot of resource that otherwise was blocked in general to the colonies, which were now, of course, independent states. By being able to raid and acquire that, they at least were able to take a percentage and they prioritized it for production. And because we were better at managing, because they weren't awash in materials, that's the one good thing about when you're a little lean. You get better at management, which is especially critical. And that's what happened with America. They got really good at, well, it may not have much, but with little we have, we sure as hell know how to use. And this is interesting too because the, while the tonnage wasn't so significant that it stopped the British from being able to function, it took out of the critical sailing season that's available in the north. You got to remember this is North Sea operations. And there are certain parts of the year where you just don't sail. The operational conditions are such that it's detrimental to the survivability of your fleet, your ships, whatever you're doing. So again, there are windows of commerce activity that are prioritized. During the non-sale period, you're accumulating, building up resources, separating, refining or whatever. And then when it's time to ship, you flood the material through and it conduit. Everybody at the other end has got the catcher's met out with regard to where it needs to go, and they're cranking up production at their end. Well, if you break part of that chain, you completely destroy whatever timeline the other side thought they had going. So, one of the many ways that it, again, effectively hampered the ability of the British to deal just with the colonies. Colonies were coming out and stinging right back. They didn't just do that in the North Sea, they also did it down the Caribbean. And there were failures and successes, you know, both ways. The biggest problem is, again, though, that now you have the merchants become privateers, you now don't have that floating tonnage. You all bet maybe smaller ships. but you don't have that constant flow of commerce. So here again, there had to be enticements with additional benefits to maintain the merchant fleet for merchant transport purposes. Now I will point out that no matter what you were, you were gunned. The only difference is if you were a privateer, you up gunned. Always remember that. All privateers, this is what I'm saying. Today, I don't know where this idea of unarmed merchant marine bullshit came from because pirates are not a new thing. And everybody was an armed vessel, and typically, everybody actually was given little instruction on how to use the guns. And typically, even passengers were, you know, again, motivated to man the guns or assist with, you know, the defense of the ship. So everybody pitched in in one form or another, even if they weren't part of the crew. Why? Well, if the pirates got on board, you didn't know what they were going to do. They'd probably slit your throat and kick your ass in the water. So guess what? You got highly motivated to put boats back downrange on them or, you know, keep the cannon manned. But when they went out as merchant, our merchant marine, they need more firepower. They want a greater range. And so the neat thing about this, which is another part of the unsung story, is that when they upgraded, the other guns that came off of the ships, not really all that big nor that as effective as they could be, were transferred over to colonial defenses. which upgraded the colonial defenses quite dramatically at close range and so it gave them a unique Derringer kind of firepower that would be cumulative. Usually coastal defense batteries were relatively older guns but typically comparable in firepower to whatever was coming at them from the ocean. In most cases they were even larger because, well, you can't sink an island, you can't sink the coastline, and you don't have to worry, you can build up to deal with the weight. But the additional or supplemental weapons went either to the weapons that were being withdrawn, went in as infantry-like cannons, or they went to the Naval, you know, the Coastal Naval Defense Forces. It's all kinds of fascinating things that were done and that were effective, contrary to what everybody thinks. We actually did have an effective, integrated, and highly refined militia force out there. It's just when you have a bunch of corporate whores trying to create a commercial expeditionary force to steal stuff from somebody else, you need a professional military for that, and look what you got. What is that, a militia? Yeah. Yeah, a militia. Well, we're at the top. Oh my goodness. We spoke over guys. Everybody out there. We're gonna go to break. It is the top of the hour. I got to say a little closer to the time block there. God bless the Republic. Yeah, but the new world order. Chapter day, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. And we're in the march about day and night. And wherever the fighting is here, there's always a thousand other places here where you can strike. And remember, you hunt them. harder than the enemy thinks. They're hunting you. Because everybody 24 hours a day can be given equal opportunity, dying time. We're gonna break. We'll be back right here. Liberty 2 radio. He is Thursday. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is second hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Gernte. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters. both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, north, east, west, and south. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. libertytreeradio.org. And we're on satellite. I'll say hi to all our merchant radio operators out there. Beware, know where the lifeboats are and know where the bad guys might be. Pay attention 24-7. Tag, you might be it. And the Israelis will backstab us in so many different ways to try and orchestrate a conflict. You are in risk nonstop if you're in the bad waters. So beware, we're also in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Thursday, it's been Thursday all day. It is the 9th of May, it is the 16th year of open obvious, sitting your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K, 2024, older, cap, old earth calendar, I'll get that right. 2024 Battle for the Republic, the dance of swords. What a day. It's been a busy day. And I'll go and get as much done as I wanted. I got some critical parts I needed. Had to go to more than a few places. Everybody's out of everything nowadays and everybody says they reordered, but I don't think so. I have a long memory. And every time I've gone out to try and find certain things, I noticed that They're just never returned. They never come back. You know what I mean? Especially in critical parts. This is why like I told you buy spares, buy spares, collect spares, look for spares that other people are getting rid of and hang on to them and put them with the equipment where they need to be. It's especially- That little tag on the shelf stays there for about two months. empty and then one day you come back and everything on the shelf is moved down and there's something else on the end and that piece is gone forever. What's really cute is I even had a person who actually the guy's been there forever and he said well I thought I ordered them and he even went over and looked in the office he goes well I did order them but they're just not showing up and it's like hmm that's not good as we know. So again, not a surprise. In fact, he even said, well, if we can't find it here, here's where you go. We don't have it, go here. And he gave me a location, and that was the final location I went to when I got what I needed. Well, Ed, I think they only had two or three, four, five pieces left in the little box they had there when they went through it, so hmm. And this means that again, many of the fasteners, connectors, and parts and pieces that are foldable, malleable, or are detachable, you should have spares. I've been going to auctions here, as I've told you for quite some time, and there's some phenomenal tool auctions. Now, the stuff I grab is the stuff nobody wants, but the stuff that nobody wants is the stuff that I want. Which includes parts drawers multiple, you know tiny tidbit tidbit parts drawers full of parts full of everything nuts bolt screws Keepers keyways you name it retainer pins Etc and I want more Because yes, yeah, I could right now work on something and he goes well You probably don't have it and I would say nope you're wrong I probably do have it because what I have is probably about a dozen different collections of parts inventory from 12 different estates or mechanics or individuals and it's the same old story when you work on stuff, electronics, mechanicals, it doesn't make any difference. You save up pieces because you know that you can, you know, improvise, adapt and overcome if you've got it. But if you don't have anything, it's, you know, suck in vapors real quick. And especially you get tired when you're very last leg of doing something and that one thing you needed just wasn't there. We gotta wait till Monday because that's the time when Schmidlaps has opened up. We'll be there at 8 o'clock when the door's open and we'll get it and then we'll be done. On the other hand, two days earlier, you know, Saturday, could have walked in and, you know, could be right there, pull her off the drawer, pop it in, we're finished. This thing is done and it's leaving the yard. It's leaving the shop, the garage, it's going out. You want to be able to do that and especially as things continue to develop the way that they are. As is pointed out by our caller yesterday, saving up metal, I don't, there's nothing that I scrap unless it's oxidized. It's got to be so oxidized that it's absolutely useless. And then it goes into the scrap to be sold. But otherwise, I have plastic oddments, I have metal oddments, I have, well, steel, copper, and aluminum oddments. Why? Because my dad did teach me how, and I have developed a skill because of other people that taught me how to make things. So if I don't have it, but if I have this, this, this, and this widget, or even a similar widget, I can make the widget work, okay? But also raw materials. So I don't have raw materials. I can't bend or fold or drill or change the angle of whatever and improvise. So I've got to have materials on hand. You need to be thinking this way. The other thing I also was talking about, and I can't emphasize enough, is a micro or small tool system set up. Get yourself a tackle box or a utility box from somebody's yard sale or whatever, a resale shop. and start collecting micro files, you know, small tools, snips, benders, needle nose, everything you can in the jeweler grade or just above jeweler grade, small tool. Because that's the area that most people are missing. Yeah, you can make it work with a big pair of pliers and you can be crude and rude, but if you have the proper tools for such a little expense. And it's quite easy. Between that and I mentioned before, the China support companies, Teemo is the big thing right now. There's a lot of the odds and ends items that I normally wouldn't have had except for only $1 or $3 because I wait until I go through the scroll and find the one that's on cheapest markdown. And that's the one I buy the one of. I don't need 10 of. I have not done. I have not done Teemo. But for some reason, I was going through the email folder this morning and spamming all the stuff that shows up 10 and 20 at a time. And I saw a Teemu thing and I'm like, these items are under 99 cents now. And I went and looked and I shouldn't have done that Mark. Because I've got about 28 tabs open right now with items that oh, I can't do without that. And it's 35 cents or it's 43 cents or it's 28 cents. And I'm like, even if I get five of each, it's a buck. Or I get four of each, it's a buck. I mean, That's a no-brainer for a 5.10 program if I need to like an emergency whistle not that we're going to be whistling a whole lot But an OD green whistle with a probably a stupid cheap compass that doesn't work on the top But it's a plastic whistle and you can get them for like 12 cents Well, I mean for first for under 75 cents I've just outfitted my five-man team with emergency whistle if they need it and it did work very effectively for the For the North Vietnamese, they blow those whistles and beep beep beep beep beep beep. They knew exactly what that meant. They're gonna hit Rodriguez's hole, get out! You know, that kind of thing. Over. Well, and again, it's the widget items or odds and ends items where you needed quantity to at least get everything back in order. There's a hundred different subjects like that and the China Sport 5 and Dime makes up the difference so that you've got everything online. No, will it last forever? No. But I'll give you an example. Like I said, the toolbox I have sitting right here next to me, which is my micro toolbox, has a screw-on utility micro vice. I've got three different versions. One has an orbital head. One has the fixed rigid and almost looks like a traditional foundry vice you'd see anywhere. And the other is set up like a wood vice, except it has rubber bumpers built in for you know softening the clutch you know while you're holding an object okay you know you're not pressing and scratching scraping or you know hopefully compressing anything So these three items make it possible so that my two hands, my little chubby fingers, can still do the job they need to with a solder gun or with a, you know, again, a hand tool of one type, maybe an object I'm trying to introduce. I've got my hands-free capability. In addition to that, there's a Dremel tool. I've noticed this. If you get tool bins like we're talking about, you will get a handful to a shoebox full of Dremel stuff. And I have not bought a Dremel tool that I paid more than a dollar for. And when I say a dollar, I'm talking about for a tool that, you know, back in the day even, the one with the articulated arm, like a dental drill, which is what I don't think it could be used for. It's safe. Anyway, the, there, The whole kit cost me almost free literally but then with team who I could round out the difference with a micro series of micro drill sets a spill a series of angle it'll add on right angle Orbital heads all kinds of stuff and it's pennies so it works. I've already tested this stuff I always want to look at it because well hey, what does it look like? What does it do? You know will it plug in? Absolutely, so those trinket items that you normally wouldn't have You can afford to have to build up that little toolkit. You can work on watches. How many of you have optical devices? And I've said this before, there's going to come a time when we're going to have to refurbish what we've got. And, you know, for instance, like scopes, we used to build scopes. I was just on the edge of that. I just, I almost was given that as a project in shop when I was in junior high school. And I had the option to do build three things, so instead I built a chandelier for my mom, okay, for the house. And I did all the wrought iron bending, and I got into the wrought iron line, but the other project that was an option was to do your own brass tube rifle scope. and a percentage of the class opted and got into that line, but there are only so many different things you could do. Now, did I do some other, I mean, there's a big difference between a microscope, like a microfine and precision scope, and a wrought iron and sculpted wood chandelier, of course it was an elaborate chandelier, but I did all the bending, did all whatever. I still had enough time to pick up on a couple of other sheet mender projects. because that's what we had space for with the number of students and the number of machines we had and the time out on the equipment because the guy who was running the class knew exactly what he needed for time, materials, and again, you know, the resources that were at hand and how to make them work. He was an excellent shop manager, okay? So we could do that, but we don't have to build new, but we may have to rebuild what we have, and I guarantee we will have to. Nobody's going to send us anything for free. Another thing, and by the way, we're going to have Dave Stone from Hautari also, Chief Cooking Bottle Washer for his township, and In Charge, as a matter of fact, which is why we're getting some feedback from all over all points of the compass right now. There's a bunch of stuff going on. I've already said this, but at 8 o'clock we're going to be addressing a few issues. So, guys, if you can, be here at 8 o'clock, please. One of the things that we need to look at is that if they start exchanging weapons of any kind, it doesn't even have to be nukes. But if they start doing nukes, everybody has bought into letting one company buy up all of its competitors. And because of this, you now have those other plants having been shut down. You only have one target of opportunity you need to hit, and all production is gone. I was just having a conversation on the engine companies with somebody today on the sub because of what I was working on. And like the guy said, Briggs and Stratton and about four other companies went out of business. A money company came in and bought all of these distressed companies up and because they're an investment group, they don't care about productivity, they're just worried about the bottom line. So they act four out of five factories, four out of five production facilities. What's interesting is the one that they did keep operational. They're not selling to the United States But you know, what's really cute the equipment is the machine is made in the United States But they're not selling their products to us They're pointing them at Europe and that's it. They don't even care about without their selling to us So what we have is you've culled down all these different production facilities all of a sudden Wow, that was a mushroom cloud. Yeah, and that complex was within the upper five psi sphere of destruction, circle of destruction. So guess what? None of those are coming out anymore. Does everybody understand that? Everything we're seeing, everything you touch is limited. And especially with the incompetence of NAFTA, with the intentional fragging of a strong America. Remember the globalist knew that they could not make everybody serfs and slaves again as long as there is a strong America. So they are now doing everything they can to cripple America. And the kosher mafia is responsible for this. along with the rest of the turds that they're using as useful idiots. They are to blame... But remember what Rockefeller said, Mark. That millions of people will die in opposition to the New World Order because they won't put up with it. Millions, he said. Yeah, and all of the globalists will die because of the millions who are going to decide to shoot the bump in the curtain rather than chase the idiot in the street. Everybody understand that? I've been planting that seed everywhere. So if you're standing there, you look around, those peons, you shoot them anytime. You see that bump of the curtain? You put a hole in that ass. Why? Well, you might find all the rest of the room just fall over like lost in space robots. Because once the brain has been done away with, it's the problem. Well, their side- Norman coordinate. Yeah. Norman coordinate. Norman was overwhelmed, Norman coordinated. So we have the thinkers. But the big thing here again is every aspect, you can just keep plugging away at this. I just have an inventory of things I just know I want. It's like fishing. I don't do fishing the way I'd like to. I haven't been able to for a long time. I just don't have the time right now. I'm going to make the time. Have to. But I have been putting fishing kits together that are just perfect. I mean, I can hand it over to you. You can open it up and everything you would need to put your kit together, drop a line in the water and start reeling in bluegill or crappie or maybe some catfish, take your pick, and or turtle every once in a while. Let's try not to do too many of the turtles. We'll need them later. They're a good food reserve that's easily caught when you need to. Don't catch them now when you don't need to. Always remember that. This is why I don't shoot deer in my local proximity. I want them to feel comfortable because later on when I go and they don't realize Tail End Charlie isn't going to follow the rest of them, Tail End Charlie can disappear out of sight out of mind and the rest won't have a clue. And the same is true with the turkeys. We've got a 30 head count of turkey here at least, maybe more. I counted at least 30 with the clutch that I just watched last week. And I wouldn't go blazing away on those right now. I try to make sure nobody knew about them, if at all possible. But as people get hungrier, everybody will be eyeballing all these creatures. But if they're in closer proximity, you've got a greater opportunity to husband the situation, provide them with opportunities for feed, Develop the area with regard to wild production for your own benefit and for theirs. And then when the time comes, you still got protein you can harvest. And the same. And that's a good place to use your thermal imaging too. You can find the smaller critters. Oh look, there's one over there in the weeds. Ooh, inner is served. Thumper, no! Yep. So, again, what we're looking at here is general preparation. Nuclear, biological, and chemical defense should be a high priority. And NBC, this includes, now we're still using NBC, I don't give a squat whatever bullshit an acronym they've come up with more recently. It typically doesn't make any sense. And does it make sense? NBC is easily remembered. Why? Well, it's the National Broadcasting Corporation. Yeah, or nuclear, biological and chemical. Why would you need to change that? Well, because some asshat general or some asshat paper pushing queers a $3 bill of pedo in the pentagram. got this idea that this is going to be totally new, but there is nothing totally new about it. They just changed it for the sake of BS change, making it complicated. What's really fascinating is again, NBC, nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. NBC, remember that, nuclear, biological, and chemical defense. NBC. Now masks, I will say again Real quick or at the bottom here. So oh I will say it real quick Gun parts corp calm gun parts corp calm. They have the masks. They also have spare parts You might want to check see what they have there Also, I noticed bud K had a few deals. They put one or two other items in the deal section I guess the daily deals don't know if it's still in effect. But yesterday I did see it pop up and look to see what they have at budk.com. Are they the priority for stuff like that? No, it's a sidebar thing they do. But they do have some interesting things that pop up in their inventory. They have food tabs. Not everybody has food tabs, but they have food tabs. And I recommend that every one of you get one container of food tabs and put it in your combat rig. Because we can diversify our food stuffs, but make such concentrated supplies that we would actually be able to sustain ourselves for weeks. not for a day or two, weeks. The biggest concern in the field is clean water beyond oxygen is, you know, keeping yourself breathing. Nuclear, biological, and chemical is clean water. In addition to that, you still gotta have calories coming in. But we wanna minimize the package size so that we can maximize the combat mode to the best of our ability. Food tabs are an excellent solution to help with that. If you look them up, you'll see what I'm talking about. Now, it's not the only thing you eat. What you do is you combine them. Now, they were used separately and on their own. And in fact, during the middle of Vietnam, it's why the containers were made the size of a standard canteen cover. So that you just use a standard canteen cover to carry them. By the way, after it's empty, you can use the carrier, the canteen cover and, oh, by the way, that container that the food tabs are in as a canteen. So while you're in the field use everything up it still has a purpose and you keep using it for another Repurpose in this case more water more water is always good Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour. It is Liberty Tree radio dot 4 mg calm and Liberty tree radio dot o RG that you're listening to right now It is Thursday and since we are at the bottom Let's see I'm trying to think because I know I've got my music list, but not where I can reach it Before I go any farther though because I'm gonna do a few music requests The Florida discs just went out John your Florida disc is on the way and maybe maybe more than one and other items also again for the Let's see. What was that? Just ship guys things dropping on me again. I really need that Gravity sucks and then it tries to kill you. So, around here. For the Michigan militia at large, we just shipped out a large block. This is a complete block for the company strength training package of SOPs, anti-armor manuals, rifle marksmanship course, all of the range books. And in addition to that, what was the other one here? Hold on. Oh, nuclear biological and chemical instructors course. That was sent out also. So you have both the, for our friends waiting for these. They were shipped out this morning at 10 o'clock. So they are in the mail and that will be traveling in Michigan. So I would say that you should be getting that within no more than two days, probably for lucky as soon as tomorrow. You never know, because we did get it in first thing in the morning. So for Michigan Militia at Large, for the 26th Brigade, pretty sure, okay, that's what it looks like, 26th Brigade. Yeah, Michigan Militia at Large, 26th Brigade, your manual request, your manual order is now in the mail. torpedo in the water. So for everybody out there, square that away. And that's a company, this is basically for a company strength unit for course activity, but the SOPs are supposed to be issued out individually. Every one of you should be carrying a militia SOP, wherever you want to on your person. It's something that everybody can constantly use. They were done in pocket size for that purpose. So again, we've just the printer is doing another big pile right now. I don't know how much she'll get done before Friday, but yesterday we put in another request for everything and it is in motion. Also, even as I speak, we have the machine running pretty well nonstop for the Florida disks and everybody. You may even find an extra one in the mail, even if you've already gotten yours. If you do, I would ask you to give it to someone else that you know is interested in what we're interested in. So the Florida Disc, if you get a spare, and I will say this also, don't send anything back. There's no reason to spend the postage when you could take that money and use it for ammunition for the war effort. You can use it to get another magazine. You can use it to fill in the blank, whatever it is you're doing. If for whatever reason we got extra, you can acknowledge that. and just say, hey, by the way, you sent me a spare, but that's not really a spare, because, well, you can, I guess if you need one. The Florida Manual of Specialty is useful. But find somebody who's of like mind, especially that's serious. Don't just throw resources to an idiot stick. Make sure that you provide it to somebody that is going to appreciate it, and you'll understand what we're talking about when you see what we're talking about. There's a lot of people that are in the firearm circles, especially that definitely do not have some of this information in hand. But they are highly motivated individuals, and we need more libraries out there that are more complete than they are even today. So that's a good way to make it happen. Share what you got. And make more copies. We also expect you to make more copies. Hopefully the quality of the product is good enough. You should be able to crank it out right away. Now let's see music requests. Okay. Let's go ahead jump in there caller Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. I'm interested some of these materials are these gonna be available to everybody at some point You have enough well they have been and we just haven't I don't know that we have a location where they're posted right now But they have been posted in the past They should be on the main page or they were on the main page with Liberty Tree radio. We have the well. I'll go through the list We have the militia SOP pocket manual and then we have of course the anti-armor manual. In addition to that we also have the rifle marksmanship course rifle marksmanship manual for the instructor. It's actually the one single book that is enough to give you to be used as a class structure a format for instructing a group and giving bringing them into the system which is actually what we use for most of the different militia units that are out there. This particular manual is the standard. Now, we're not talking about teaching you to do structural shooting from underneath and on an angle in a car, under a car, or through wreckage or anything like that. There's all kinds of special advanced studies on that. This is a basic rifle marksmanship course, and in addition to that, we do produce the range manuals to match up with the system for each of the shooters. So that is available also. I'll have to repost the prices because things have gone up. But we have offered them in the past through LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. And hold on here, I'm looking to see because I can't pull that up here right now. In addition to that, we do have the advanced reconnaissance manual also. Which I have to laugh at because some people assume that we don't have the equipment that's listed in this one as some of the information that's there and yes, we do as a matter of fact both in the communications category and with regard to certain Support pieces of machinery mechanical of pieces of equipment that well we have We've been in the business for a while so It is material and technology and resources that can be acquired, in fact, are over the counter to a degree right now. So that's another manual, but I haven't mentioned it yet. I have to upgrade it because there are some things I want to add, but the existing manual could be offered still. So what we'll do is, well actually I might even do it by 8 o'clock. We'll see what happens. Again, I've got everything sitting. around the corner and on the outbound shelf. And I can give you an idea of what else might be readily available because the printer is tied up with a number of larger mapping projects right now too. But that's not going to slow down the system to get the manuals in print. So we'll let you know. But just keep an eye on Liberty Tree Radio. Actually, do me a favor because I can't do that from where I am right here. If you want to check Liberty Tree Raider, I don't know, or Ed could come up and if we have it posted, traditionally what we did is we made it possible for you to pick them up through the PayPal and they were listed in the system. So I'm looking to see and I can't do it from here. This is an isolated system and it's designed that way. So good question. Let me see what I can do, hopefully. Well, let me put it this way. If Carl or anybody else listening, if you want a block of manuals so that you have everything you would need, if you need to get specified, you need 40 pieces. You know, like for instance, if you have 40 people and you want to reissue out the SOP manuals. If you need 40 manuals, I can give you a quote of what 40 manuals would cost. The shipping, of course, is the big issue. The same as the anti-armor manuals, if you want to buy enough for, pick up enough say for every individual, which is possible. But the anti-armor manuals, typically everybody uses those for classroom purposes, in other words you keep them in the class school box and sit everybody down and you use it as an instructional manual for step-by-step tutorial. in the classroom. Everybody's got it, everybody's on the same page, everybody understands. Rifle marksmanship manual, I'd order only two or three, but it depends on how many instructors you have and how big the formation is and whether or not you want backups. So maybe four, because that is the primary instructor's manual. You want one that's in circulation service and you want some that are in backup. And if you want to scan them and keep them in retention, I would. Now, the rifle logbook, the range logbook, that you need one per person. And you can't share it because it's, you know, mission specific. So, like the SOP, you'd want to order as many of the range logbooks as possible to go along with the SOP, one per person. Now again, the option out here would be the anti-armor manuals. I've got another, we do have a, by the way, and I've actually just, this is why I was checking with the printer yesterday. We have a second anti-armor manual. It's been kind of stagnant because we just didn't get around to finishing one or two things. It's always the case. But I did a bunch of the artwork on number one, and I did a bunch of the artwork on number two. If you're familiar with Battle for the Republic, the books, if you go back to the addendums, I did all of that artwork. I had plenty of time so I could sit down and first I would do a full format, full size image. Then I went and using a copy machine I did a reduction and then I did a reduction again so it really looks cool because it's a micro detail image. But the original artwork for like the infantryman, the armored vehicles, the silhouettes, anything you see there is all stuff that I did in house. It was not commercially done. It wasn't done by anybody else because there wasn't anybody else available that could do the work I wanted done. In this case with the anti-armor, I just did a lot of the graphics, angle images, etc., all line drawings. And so the second book is going to kind of follow up, but with more detailed information on some of the newer tricks of the trade that everybody's seeing right now and how you can deal with effectively using the weapons stretch or disposal even with the defense systems that have been set up to try and protect most of the equipment out there from the more sophisticated equipment. And again, both of those manuals are the same size. Each one could be pocket capable, but the ICT armor is a little large, about half of an eight half by 11 page. So what is it, four and a quarter? No, correction, correct. five and a half by four and a quarter there we go no five and a half by eight and a half there we are. Now Mark will slap Mark in the microphone. The math on the air is terrible. Well not terrible just I gotta think. So we're good there and let's see if there was I know I'm leaving one out I know it's I know why I'm going into a catatonic brain fart on this right now but there is one that I'm leaving out it's already complete because we just cranked out a bunch of them for one of the other militias in Ohio. Tell me about Ohio. Hey Mark. There we go. Go ahead Carl jump in there please. Yeah, the other thing I mentioned is the night vision video. I know Don passed away when the second one was being in production but I mean I'd be happy with just another copy of the first one. Somebody borrowed mine and then I just never saw him again so. That one walked away, but even just the first ones are really good in well-made video and very instructive. I'll tell you what, we actually, he finished the second one. It was the third one that we were working on. So there are two videos. You may not have the other one. So I'll tell you what I'll do because I just had those in hand. I have a stack of DVD blanks, right here to my right. And yes, it's time that we start putting those out again in force. Let me again get with we got to get with that we're gonna make sure we can do this right so that everything is squared away to deal with the problem, but I don't think the cost will change you don't think has changed as a shipping expense like everything is the stuff that the government in Night vision one and night night vision two were to complete night vision three is what we were working on and Don was doing an entire element on thermal that was what we were going moving towards you know providing more direct tutorial in that area because not many people could afford to buy it but they would like to know about it. And so in fact, ATN provided us with 10 thermal scopes just for that purpose. Thors. I've got, there are 10 thors that were provided. Figure out what the cost of just one thor is, even the cheapest one right now. And ATN was very serious about that. But unfortunately, Don got ill and that shut off the program from that direction with his efforts. Go ahead, call her. I hear her voice jump in there. Hey, Mark. This is Irish Whiskey. Concerning manuals, I'm curious, do you have like a suggested donation amount for one of everything in print? Like just like one copy of everything that's currently available? I think you killed him. Oh, I'm sorry. You know what? Well, we're good. There we go. No, no, good. No, it's a good question. I have to sit down and do the math. If I can't do it in the hour, our break, then we'll have, I'll do it tonight. And we need to offer it and get it done and out of the way. It's just one of the several irons in the fire. It's not that we can't do that because I can make 20 bumbles up real quick and we could shoot them out. So I'll do what I can to get that together for you. We'll treat it as a little bit of a fundraiser. How's that sound? We don't typically make... Absolutely, because I don't have any of the manuals other than... I have one specific one from you, the Green Horse, but I don't have any of the others. So I would be interested in just a bulk amount for everything. Thank you. You know what? That's the one that I wanted to brain fart on. I don't know why I couldn't think of that, but the green horse is also available, yes. So for everybody out there, and the green horse is kind of a redundant kind of a storyline to help you keep you entertained, but it's incorporating working knowledge, kind of like a less sophisticated version of Patriots surviving the coming collapse. And when I say less sophisticated, Patriots has an interwoven action story tied into it. Now to a degree, the green horse has that, but the green horse was designed to Pass on specific technical information and it is a it's a useful tool So yes, that is part of the formula too, but you already have that so you wouldn't need to worry about it And we have I think we've we've been up to speed on all of those I've done a ton of artwork finished for the next manual But we also see here's the problem. We shared time so what I had to do is carve off time to do the recordings that are going in the mail to Ed for the other activity there, but It's not that I'm the only one doing this, but there are certain projects I'm the only one who really could probably finish them up because like I said, I'm the I invented them so to speak so Let me see what I can do and Better sooner rather than later. So whatever we have we have is what I'm gonna do Whatever we have will get out and I believe we have enough to do probably 20 bundles right now Barring the stuff that went out. I'll have to look to see what hat well how we depleted one of the piles of SOPs So good point. Yeah, we'll get that done if that helps Anything else? Yes, please. You're welcome. I know sir. That is it. Thanks so much Another thing real quick is share. I don't have a problem if you want to make copies. Also somebody said, well, the SOP manual is small. Well, yes, it's designed to be pocket form, but you could, if you're willing to, pull the staples out of it, put it on a copy machine, blow it up to 8.5x11. I don't have a problem with that, people. There's no restriction in how you could use these. The only thing that I ask is no matter what you copy, copy it and it's in parity. Make sure that everything that you see there is in the manual that you produce. And don't leave out or leave all, I got part of it but I couldn't get through it. No, you can't do that. We need to make sure that all the information is in part so we have uniformity and consistency and training. And again, not that it's perfect. The SOP, for instance, covers the M17 gas mask, which at the time when we did that also worked out because many people were buying the M10M. And as far as I'm concerned, that mask is just as serviceable now as it was when it came out. The M17 is also, but all you would do is alter in your inspection and process. The only difference would be that you would be using an external filter mask of any number of different types. There's no manual we could do that would, it would have to be about an extra eight, 10 pages because we could cover each of the individual masks, but the basics for standard operating procedure with regard to gas masks is pretty much the same. Keep that in mind. The basic procedure for operating a gas mask is consistently and repetitiously the same because there's only so much that a simple tool like that can do. The only difference, the only thing is donning and clearing. And what I mean by that is when you don a mask, pretty much every mask out there, you don the same way. You grab the mask by the left and right body of the mask itself, along the outer flaps and with the suspension system. Move your chin into the mask, then you pull the mask over the head and obviously pull back. The next thing is you bring your hands forward. Now with the M17, The idea is that when you clear or when you know, which remember you're donning and clearing with the F-17 you take your left and right hand and What you will do well, forgive me No correction reverse order reverse order slap me in the face Step one is you take your right hand and cup the top of the voice mitter Step two is that you cup the bottom of the voice mitter where the exhaust is you then blow out Immediately after you have evacuated your lungs and blown out, what you do is you blossom the mask so that all of the lips make contact with your skin properly and help to promote the seal. Everything now should be laying appropriately as it should because everything with the process of that exhaust blow that you did where you covered the exhaust so it's not going out the exhaust port. You then when you blew out it the air had to go somewhere path of least resistance Once you do that you immediately because you've only got so many seconds here You've evacuated all your air you take your left hand and cover the right intake You take your right hand and you cover the right intake and suck in What does that do that seats the mask the rest of the way? Okay, now you can breathe normally so You'll probably be taking a few extra breaths because you were excited. The adrenaline rush is there because, oh my god, I had to use a gas mask. And then on top of that, you blew all your oxygen out. Now you need denied oxygen when you covered the ports. Now you know what the difference is? The first step would be the same with any other gas mask. You cover the exhaust and you blow. But the only change is that with a single filter mask and a single filter intake, all you do is take whatever, wherever the filter is, left or right, because some are center, some are center. You take your hand, you lay it over top of the intake area and suck. And what happens is that compresses and seats the mass the rest of the way, just like it would with the M17 or the M10 or the three or four Eastern European variants that have come out of surplus that look like an M17 gas mask. So that's the only difference. Everything else is identical. Hoods operate the same way. Drinking straws operate the same way. So there's nothing that you're going to be able to write home about and go, wow, this is different. This is really alien because there aren't any there aren't any alien gas masks out there They all work pretty much the same way. Go ahead call or jump in there. Hey, this is Carl in Virginia. Hey, I just want to say You know to everybody be on the lookout for spare parts to your gas mask Things like harnesses harnesses will the elastic will will wear out on them if they're rubber they'll dry rot And yeah, pick up more. I remember back in the day I bought a three pack. I only needed one harness for by M40, but as a three pack, you couldn't buy less than three. Well, I've used all three of those. Now I'm trying to find more. You know, never assume that there's always going to be more parts out there because there's not. There's not always going to be parts. And the other thing is if you... find randomly stumble across parts of the gas mask that you don't own currently. We'll snatch it up anyway. You're probably going to find somebody else who has that mask or you'll find a deal on it where it's stupid cheap and there's no reason not to buy it. Now you got a good gas mask and spare parts. Exactly. We all look out for those parts, especially the surplus stores. is also again, watch with all these online companies because in many cases, go through their odds and ends. The company has a specialty. Typically, there's something they're better at than everybody else. We've talked about this many times. But they always pick stuff up like you said, either maybe another store went out of business or they bought it because they bought pallets of surplus. Well, in there was a typical government fair of stuff and lo and behold, they picked up a bunch of NBC equipment. Well, they're not going to throw it out. But it's an odd man out for the company. They're not really interested in it. Now the bad part is if they get really disinterested or get frustrated or something, they might throw it away. But more often than not, they usually market it out to somebody else and give it to them for a great price. In the meantime, though, they're offering them as an odd man out item. And you will find them listed for usually a pretty good price. Now an example of a very common item. are the the outserts for your gas mask lenses. Okay, the outserts are made of, they're not made typically out of ballistic glass, I'm afraid plastic, they're actually made out of glass. They're very high quality optical glass. Government spent a lot of money on this equipment. Well, the most common over-outsert that you're going to find are made for the M17. But what's really cool is because they are a pyramidal type lens, they match up pretty close to most of the other pyramidal type lenses that are on any of the other gas masks. So you can take the outserts that were made for the M17 and use them on the M9. You can also use them at about 60%, if not 80%, if we count out the different masks that are out there now. You can use them on all of those other foreign masks that are out there. Now, what's the advantage of this? The outsert purpose is to create a defensive shield so that your primary lens is not compromised. And so what you have is your standard lens. This is why they went with glass. Okay, because the quality of the optic is such that you know, it doesn't interfere. It's not going to scratch, fog, fade. So the inner lens is plastic, is glass. And then the out-cert, which basically it's a the same size lens, or pretty close, with an outer rubber baby buggy bumper flap. Now what you do is you roll that back when you're wanting to install it. You roll it back around the lens, you know, from the from the inside out. Lay it up to the lens that you're putting it on, where you're putting it on the gas mask, and then you take that little flipper layer around the outside, the flap, and roll it around the edge of your existing eyepiece. Now you have a secondary shield, but it will not interfere with your ability to see. And it also, of course, assists with anti-fogging because it creates a thermal pocket. to retain a certain amount of heat, but also allow for a certain amount of cooling. And the other thing about the out-search is that if you are able to find enough hoods, and by the way, even hoods that are not made for your mask can be used with your mask. Most of your masks, if they have an external filter, typically will accommodate a left hand mounted filter. If you're looking forward, it'll be on the left hand side. Even if the intake area is not big enough, you can cut that out. You don't go crazy. You don't excessively cut. It defeats the purpose of the hood. What you do is you determine the basic spec and you can open that up. And if you have like an M17 hood, it will fit the M9. It will fit most of these others. However... You take a piece of duct tape, remember Mr. Duct Tape is our friend, cut a square piece of duct tape, put it on the patch hole on the other side, the other intake hole, put a piece on the inside, take another piece, put it on the outside, squeeze them together. Now you have a seal and the hood is doing its job. So, see, you can make it work. Almost all of the masks, and here's the interesting thing, the M17 is close enough so that with the combination voice mitter and filter intake, if it's in the center of the gas mask, that same hood will work. All you have to do is take two pieces of duct tape and seal each cheek intake point on the M17 hood. Improvise, adapt, and overcome. Now by the way, try to use a tactical color. Don't use orange or blue. You know, tactical color. But when I say, you know, one on the inside, one on the outside, it's pretty simple. You'll understand when you see it. I bring this up because there are cases of M17s who is up in a location. If they're still there, I will have them tomorrow or Saturday. And then we will distribute them accordingly. We're at the top. That didn't take long. God bless our republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We're on the march, anyway. Stay in nice. We'll improvise, adapt, and overcome. If you don't have a hood, you can make them from a number of different materials, like very simply a garbage bag of wood. Once again, Mr. Crashbag is your friend. Is it perfect? Well, the good thing is you can get in tactical colors. I'd rather buy it in green or gray or brown than white. Unless I'm in a more warfare situation, white would be fine. Anyway, we're going to do more. Good luck. You can get the job done. I will be back in an hour. Ed's taking over. Liberty Tree Radio continues. In his 30s. Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Carkey. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, west, east, south, and south east. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. LibertyTreeRadio.org. And we're on satellite. I want to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. No matter what body of water you are operating on right now and God bless you. Appreciate you doing the part. Re-broadcasting Liberty Tree Radio in whatever venue you choose. And we again greatly appreciate the work that you guys have been doing for now a lot longer than I realized. So again, thank you. We're also in a myriad, a plethora, a bouquet of other communications technologies both inside and outside. These United States it is Friday. It does not seem like Friday. I swear Thursday should be another full 48 hours with the way things have been, especially with yesterday. But it is Friday, it is Cinco di Amo Day and Quartermaster Friday. It's the 10th of May, 16th year of open, obvious sitting your face, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K2024 old earth calendar, 2024 battle for the republic. The Dance of Swords, which is book one. So for everybody, again, beautiful day. You could not have asked for a more perfect day to get outside, get stuff done. Ran into some great tool solutions today. There's always something on a Friday, any yard sale or estate sale. And yep, there were. And oh my goodness. I've got more work for myself. Every time I get new tools, first thing I do is you go through everything, look for anything that might be a dot spot or a questionable point where it might start oxidation, and you get rid of it. Number two is everything gets lubricated with a permanent lubricant that's going to stay with what you are using. I like to use PLS, but it's gotten a little expensive. There's a couple of other lubricants out there. One that's a little less expensive. It's a fluid film. Runs about anywhere from $9 to $12 a can. Powerful rust and corrosion protectant. Protects all metals. Lanolin base. Superior lubricant. No solvents. Long-lasting. Non-toxic. Non-hazardous. This stuff sticks well. And it's been around since 1943. World War II. The interesting thing about this is it is in the same family line as the PLS mid-grade products for coating metals or for sealing crystalline structure. And I use this on all of the tools that are in the auxiliary or in the vehicle toolboxes so when they're sitting they're not going to break down right away. The cool thing is even if the stuff slopped off it's inside the toolbox which it's not going to do very easily. Even with heat This stuff bonds really well. If it gets a little warm, sunny, whatever. And you can actually, a lot of guys are using this under the vehicles, spraying all of the working parts and nuts, bolts and screws so that there's no rust down. And in Michigan, we have a big problem with that. One of our guys has a bunch of Colorado trucks like we have our Texas trucks. and religiously before the season begins for these salts slinging in Michigan acid for blood. He coats the whole bottom side of his vehicle. So he's doing that for a decade that I know of. And another person, well actually one of our other friends uses oil, crankcase oil, saves all the crankcase oil up. He doesn't use it for fire or anything else. He gets his kids, crawl up under there, of course they're getting bigger now, probably gets his grandkids, but gets up there first thing at the end of the fall season and, or I should say mid-fall, and paints the entire undercarriage with motor oil. Everything gets a generous coating of motor oil and puts cardboard under everything, anything that drips down, rolls the cardboard up. puts that over into the toolbox furnace and you know for the shop and everything gets used up. Nothing goes to waste, doesn't make a mess. But the lubricant helps to push back on the high salt content issues we have if you're going to use your vehicle 365 days out of the year on a Michigan highway or road. just how it is you need to think ahead of another interesting thing with the again watch keep an eye out i've got a bunch of canteen cups today just an accident thing same place i got the tools and also some phenomenal historical stuff a whole bunch i've been running it to of course a lot of bicentennial stuff people from that window of time or passing away or their states are popping up they're going into you know whatever retirement And I got some phenomenal pristine coffee mugs and such with impressed steel, well, for steel, but bronzed medallions for the Patriot years, you know, 1776 to, you know, 1976, really cool. And one of a kind, most people aren't thinking about it because they've been living with it or grown up with it, so stuff gets tossed and it's actually worth a little bit of money. I don't plan on getting rid of it because I'm planning on preserving it. I'll make sure it's somewhere else because it's obvious that I'm one of the targets when the times come. It could have been the last day or two here they were thinking about going after everybody here in Michigan. It's okay. We need to go to war. I don't have a problem with that. I think we should. I believe that whatever they want to start, we'll finish. But I also have to think ahead to protect some of the cool stuff that I found because It's historical and I collected it for a reason to preserve it and pass it on. So just something to think about there. A lot of stuff needs to be put aside right now, set out of the line of fire, just like your valuable, you know, caches in preparation for war so that you have them when you need them. Okay, and more on the cache in a minute too. Go ahead, call or jump in there. Hey Mark, this is Irish whiskey. Just wanted to mention what I found at Walmart clearance this week Check the hunting section because I found cellular game cameras 50% off so a hundred and twenty dollar cellular game camera for 60 bucks Yes, so they had one non cellular models for 40. That's all I have to say Excellent. Very good. Thank you for bringing that up And again, there's a little bit of a glut because they really pushed that last year. So the neat thing is you can run into deals like that. But Walmart is where he's talking about Walmart, guys. Check them out. They also have their quarterly cycle out. It doesn't seem like they're doing it the way they've done in the past. And it has nothing to do with COVID or, you know, the coronavirus virus scam. It has to do with... their policy and how they finally changed it perhaps because somebody did some crunching of the numbers and realized, damn, we're losing a pile of money. Somebody might have actually realized just exactly how wasteful some of the stuff is that they were doing. Sadly enough, because we have been benefiting from that with regard to war materials. And again, preps and just basic material for all subjects you can imagine. Keep an eye on the clearance. One other thing about Walmart is they do strange things with clearance. You never know where it's going to be. But, you know, there's three basic models for the stores. Number one, it's up front when you come in the main door. Now, there may be another subsection way back in the back, like for the sporting goods, sometimes on the end caps with those types of stores. The other, there is a big ass section right beyond the cash registers. It's an island area. Well, usually just beyond the boots. And it's interesting how much stuff we've gotten out of those with regard to really good buys, great deals. And then the other is the clearances are in their respective departments and are just left in place with an end cap or something like that. So you have to know your store. Once you know what your store is doing, it's pretty consistent. with Walmart, but there are differences. Even though they have big stores, middle stores, small stores, that doesn't seem to make any difference. It really does, it's not part of the formula. It's a flavor choice. Maybe they're given a certain option with construction. If you were going to management, you'd know more about it. And so they configure accordingly, you know, as they choose. The big thing is they want to do want to keep track of inventory. So it's obvious that they would be making the effort to do the right thing, well you would think. But clearance has gone, have not gone down as deep as they were also. They're not as cheap as they have been in the past. But they're still good deals. So as is pointed out, 50% off on the game cameras, yes. One nice thing about that is remember you can leave those as first tier. If the bad guys figure out where they are, we don't have as much money into them. Do you really care what happens to them? Oh, great. You don't want to throw money away. But the neat thing is you can afford to put sacrifice units up that can actually be tripwires unto themselves. Now, when I say tripwire, I'm going to remind you of something. Just because you set it up to let you know that something's going on, don't jump on the four-wheelers and go charge it out in the middle of BFE because you could be moving out into a trap slash an ambush. Instead, prior proper planning prevents piss-poor performance. Pay attention when you're moving. Utilize overwatch cameras so that you can identify what might be out there waiting for you. This is especially critical. And again, prior to proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Overwatch when you are mechanized, just as Overwatch when you are infantry. The other thing, when you get to the area of interest, spread out. My God, I've seen so many cluster screws in, especially in videos where people are responding to stuff that you see in these drama videos that are on YouTube or one of the other services. Guys, spread out and learn to take position automatically. This is part of the team and leadership mechanism. One person, if there's only four, each should be observing a quadrant of their own while moving into an area that has a threat disposition. And again, if you have a second element that can overwatch your first, have them hang back, but have them observe not just to the front where you're moving, But their area of operation 360 degrees as you'd be panning and scanning. Always remember that the technology is good. But your enemy is creative too. Not that they're the smartest, you know, on the block, but they are conniving. So let's, you know, keep it in mind. We're going to be dealing with. conniving minds that are going to try to do harm to you. Our job is to do great harm to them first, exterminate all of them, strip the enemy dead, take what you find, including intelligence, and go down the road and hunt the bastards that sent these bastards to find you. And kill them all. Just all there is to it. Get rid of every last one of them. That's the most important aspect of the mission. Make sure you get them all. And when you got all that are right in front of you, go find the other ones that aren't right there in front of you because they're part of the problem too. Prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. Another thing here real quick. Well, we're at 20 minutes after. Also, don't forget freeze dried food. Now they don't have much and I just checked them Walmart yesterday. in the afternoon before we actually came up in the program just to see what they had laying around the freeze dried food seemed to have disappeared from some of the stores which I think is interesting because it has been a regular fare for quite some time. Not everybody has it but those that do typically also have been cycling down in other words doing the clearance that was just talked about to move product out but bring new product in. Now what was really kind of comical with the freeze dried is The freeze-dried shelf life is indefinite and the shelf the shelf-outdate life is nowhere near anywhere that would justify clearing it but because of the nature of the zombie-esque inventory system that Walmart has a lot of this stuff gets kicked out the back door is clearance or thrown out destroyed which is not good but if that happens to oh well that's their problem not ours. The big thing here is that That seems that the freeze dried because they didn't have it moving as fast or maybe the sources of dried up that are reasonably priced within the parameters of Walmart Maybe they just can't get it. I don't know. I mean a lot of people can't so they've discontinued in most of the stores the freeze-dried food that was in the sporting goods section and So that is something if you do spot it pay attention go look in the clearance section a lot of that about 50% of whatever they were bringing in and was ending up in the clearance department. So definitely a double plus good thing if you can take advantage of that. And again, what's the shelf life of freeze dried? Indefinite, we don't know. And it's not because they haven't tried, it's just that it is the nature of freeze dried food and again with the packaging system, it's so optimal that it has an indefinite storage life. So this is why, as I've said many times on the air, that's the last food that you eat. You don't go, oh, I'm going to have freeze-dried because I feel bored with my... No, you don't. Oh, so you're bored with what you've been eating. Oh, well, the hell with that garbage. Don't open up those freeze-dried units until very last. Why? As long as you don't disturb them, move them around, bounce them a lot, how can they actually go bad? And if you're smart, you won't move them around a lot. You're going to leave them right where they are. stored underground or under, you know, basements, whatever, in a nice, you know, climate or semi-climate controlled environment, they will sit there and stare at you indefinitely. Now, it doesn't mean you aren't going to eat them. It just means that you got a lot of the stuff needs to be eaten first and food fatigue has nothing to do with the formula. I want to remind you of that. I've always heard that, oh, you're eating the same thing over and over again. Yeah, I can think of a lot of people who aren't eating anything. Shut up. Hey, Dad. Just shut up. Go ahead. We got a jerk way Out and about today. You know what I've been doing to earn the little extra money Found a new place that's pretty interesting down here. Geebo's low prices every day farm home pet and clothing Walking into it's like walking into a tractor supply, but they have good prices They still have like the old prices on everything Which makes them definitely worth you know checking out and I'm a cat if they have ammo cans a sporting section down here some other stuff I think some information on them. They also have their own line of gummies But why I'm calling in is why was in there they had food dehydrators and food freeze dryers on sale That's I don't know we just the gee boat. Yeah, I don't know if it's Just the gee-boas in our area if this is a chain or just something that's locally, but this was out in the middle of BFE dad. One of those situations where the GPS led me out, you know, when we say, when we get to your doom, the drop-off where they had me going was like literally I was at four corners and there was nothing but fields. And on the far end there was a farmhouse and there was like a warehouse on the other end. And that's what this was. Well, we definitely need more information on them because, and again, on that point, freeze-dried, if you can pick up your own freeze dryer, it doesn't make any difference what amount it can freeze dry. That particular food process, in reality, is one of the best that we could possibly commit to. So any type of freeze dryers that are reasonably priced and again, you'll take a look here for for anything that does larger volume and I know a lot of people want to do quantity Your there's two things they make noise which doesn't bother me. I like I said, I'm tired of the panty waste. I'm gonna get it me noise Oh, would you shut up? I worked in a factory I mean worked in factories and other situations not though wouldn't mention the military with my god Come on think about some of the equipment. We're around Oh wow, that makes a lot of noise. Oh my God, I'm peeing my pants, it makes so much noise. Oh my God. So freeze dryers definitely are a good solution. So yeah, pass on the information, send us the prices if you could. And for anybody else out there, we'll share them when we can. But what model so we can take a look at it, we'll probably commit to one of those, maybe two or three, depending on what they have on the shelf, of course. And the name of the company again is? It's off to the side there. I'm here. Gevo's G-E-E-O-F-T-S Gevo! Oh, it's the band! The guys went out. Yeah, the band went out so they ended up down in Texas. You know, are we not men? Are we not gevo? No, gevo's gevo's G-E-E-S Oh, gee, oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said D, Delta. No, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, gee, g Well, that's an interesting one. Jeevo. Well, maybe it's the other band that was competing against Jeevo and realized they had nowhere to go and their hardware looked like fun, so they moved sideways. You never know. Could be any number of reasons. But Jeevo. So again, Jeevos, let's see what we can dig up on them. Because like you said, there's at least one. If there's one, there may be more. And again, This is something that isn't a surprise because some companies have run their course where originally they were a great idea and What happens is different people take over and they totally destroy the original Concept of the store because they got a great new idea. It's not really a great new idea. It's just an idea and What happens would happen with big lot big lot went from? being a bulk surplus store, and I mean bulk as in in many cases depending on where you were in the country like here in Michigan, they carried open bin surplus items where they bought industrial items from the different companies out there depending on what they had and they'd offer that stuff up for a pretty reasonable price and it was you know grab it out of the box. hot sauce by the pallets, not by cases, and counting only one case at a time. See, that's one thing that shows you that things have gone to hell in a hand cart in general with most of these operations, because if you're wealthy, you can have lots of product on the shelf. But if your country has the facade of wealth, well, then there's not so much on the shelf. And that's exactly what you're seeing with pretty much everything around the country. Again, it would be rather interesting to see how this develops or where they also do see where they came from. I think it would be fascinating. Any place like that, check the food, check the tools, and don't forget, paint is becoming ludicrously priced. I looked at $15 a can of paint yesterday with the new prices. Ed realized I'm not buying that paint real quick. Okay? So, they have some other interesting items in there, Dad. They were selling like pre-tied lassos and stuff for like doing big animals because well that's where they're at, you know. Right. A lot of tools that were bad. I didn't get to look long because I was trying to get back. But like I said, I did a walk through the store. I did see something interesting like in the, they had like a sportman's area. And there was one item that I might go back and see if I can buy one if they still have if they still have them there. There were Patriot ties, dad. And it's those 12 not things that Don, not that Don Betcher taught me how to make, you know, that are technically illegal. Right. Patriot neckties. Right. Well, that's rather interesting. So they're not very politically correct, either. Hey, by the way, we really don't care what no we really don't care. Well, but yeah my god You know what you've got no we really don't care what you shut up. Maybe buy if you want it if not move on We're gonna say something who cares well that that's what they were throwing them as this patriot neckties But it's like anybody who looks that do what that was that's a that's a pretty big you know statement in and of itself Yeah, hold still we're gonna help you out Well again, so that's in the Lubbock area, right? Yes, just south of Lubbock literally. It's straight down slide where it starts to turn into... I'm not sure if they're doing cotton or what out there. Because I know that you start going that area you've got cotton a little wheat but there's a point where it turns into peanuts. Right. Well, that's a cycle to remember cotton peanuts and then you do something in like a rye grass or like actually rye wheat. Well, rye, not rye wheat, but rye and that helps to build the soil back. And there's a whole, they have a cycle. I don't know what they're doing with their fertilizers now because they can cut part of that too, which is a cheat, but oh well, that happens. So again, that would be worthwhile. One of the other things about the freeze-dried technology is again, you are still going to need consistent power. Don't forget that. Obviously, you're going to run machinery, so you have to make that part of your math formula for future activities. Having the energy, the capacity to operate the equipment as needed. That should be a high priority because food processing, next to your food processing is really where we need to be focusing now. If you've built up an inventory, fantastic, but you need to be ready when things run out, where will you go? What are you going to do? And so prior prepper planning prevents piss poor performance. We need to have production capacity in place now in preparation for that moment in time, because it's not an if, it's just a when that's going to happen. So remember that, not an if, just a when. Anyway, oh my goodness, we're at the bottom. Let's do this real quick. You are listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, LibertyTreeRadio.org. Ed, I'll tell you what, if you could, let's pull up. The latest guns and gadgets first of all then we'll do a few songs who we got to go through our music request list I got a case stay up on that you guys have been sending more downrange. I got a couple of letters yesterday to appreciate that from Marge in Arizona and also Danny in South Dakota So we got your mail. Thank you. We appreciate that And again, for everybody, Guns N Gadgets is over on YouTube. Take the time, go over there, check out, see what they've got, what he's got posted, but also make a point of giving him a thumbs up and passing on, if he can, share the videos that are produced. That changes the numbers and that's all. Again, cost nothing. It's free. All you have to do is spend a little bit of time. And we appreciate it if you can pitch in. We don't get anything from Guns and Gadgets for that just in case. And it is from Liberty Tree Radio that was Guns and Gadgets on YouTube. Please take the time to go over, subscribe and give a thumbs up as you can. Now, Mike and the Mechanic Silent Running for our friends in South Dakota. We didn't forget you. Mike and the Mechanic Silent Running. Somebody said in the letter, Mark, you haven't played that song in a while. And can you play it? So I said, yes, yes we can. But I was talking to the wall because it's a letter, not a... So for everybody out there, it is Friday. We're headed into the weekend with the Haida Camp, Emerson, New Camp Stasa, Camp Whalen North, the Ogham Maranges, Nagi Hicham, Wolf, and Fox. And also Fort Benning, Michigan. We got a lot of activity up in Fort Benning, Michigan this weekend. It is fantastic. And yes, somebody, I was talking about Fort Hood. We're thinking about naming one of the other facilities that's the unnamed Fort Hood. So we're going to have a Fort Hood, Michigan. That's going to be cool. And again, big buildup. Explain something a little bit here about a really cool kit. We started working on decades ago, and we've developed it to the point where it's a package off the shelf science. It's so simple, it's ridiculous for shelters and housing, or for shelters, and especially for covering supplies. I hear the music will be back. The mechanics right here on Liberty Tree Radio. The again, silent running album, title crag, silent running, Mike and the Mechanics. That was the mid-length version. There's three versions. They've got the full length with the extension, which is long and demi-instrumental. Then you've got the version you just heard. Then you've got the shortcut version that was done when people have heard the song so much. And on radio, what they do is they have a shortcut version so that you can get it in there and fit more of what people have already heard. And they usually hear it and they get satisfied, but they may be hearing it as background music. So they don't necessarily pay attention to the fact there's another minute or a minute and a quarter or a minute and a half shaved off the song. I did this all the time back in the day, guys. And that's why it's actually collectible. I have a collection here. I've mentioned this many times through this year. I bought a collection and I've been editing. I have to sit down for, oh, half an hour at a time and I have to plug the CD in. And I've been listening. And one of the things that I've gotten a big collection of are what are promo CDs. And these are not for resale. They have... or repeat of the song multiple times, but they have all three versions. They have the long full play with maybe an additional instrumental. They have the mid-play, which is the one you typically would hear 99% of the time on any radio. And even typically who's on the album, but the long play might be on the last part of a flip on the albums on the old LPs. And then you have the short version for, okay, you got to punch a bunch of these in because you're promoting our record. And it goes to the radio station and they would flip a whole bunch of the compressed versions to get all of their obligations in with the network or with the record affiliate that they've got a contract with. So it's kind of cool and I've got one of a kind of stuff that I have, it's been 50 years since I've heard it and what's really fascinating is I have a vast collection of live concert from pigeonhole locations, the old hole in the wall bars and such that we used to be all over the country. There's still some out there but nothing like there used to be. And several locations are right here in Michigan and were classic. In fact, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, there was a hole in the wall bar that was multi-tiered. It went up because it was crammed into a stupid little business. I don't know how they held a fire. They got over the fire code. Maybe they bribed somebody or somebody in the city, you know, owned it. But it actually was opened up for three stories. So you were looking down and everybody from Bob Seger to Three Dog Night to Pink Floyd to anybody you can imagine would show up there and what's funny is they always had a Gnome de Guerre for the different each band had its own Gnome de Guerre would use so people come in there sitting there goes that looks like it looks like the Pink Floyd band man now we're not talking a big place we're talking a place where literally if you set on the second tier they hold out each of the floors in the middle So it was like a big globe amphitheater is what it was like on the inside. But everything was painted flat black, everything was subdued, and you'd look down on the band on the stage. And everybody you could think of showed up in that little hole in the wall at one time or another in a year. I ran into a place like that out in Arizona off Fort We Gotcha the same way. Sat down and lo and behold we had Fleetwood Mac out of the blue. They're like... It looks like Fleetwood Mac. Everybody's sitting there because we're just going something new in the evening on a Friday. And usually there'd be a live band there and it was free. So it was like, okay, and all of a sudden it's like, that looks like, that girl looks a lot like Stevie Nicks. Yeah, yeah, look at the drummer, man. He looks all psychedelic now too, dude. Is that who I think it is? And of course, on the marquee, they didn't have Fleetwood Mac. They had some off-the-wall name that was made up. But as soon as everybody started to see who it was, and again, once they started playing, there was no doubt. But it was obvious if you paid any attention to the artist. And people were running over to the telephone, didn't have cell phones back then, and they're calling their buddies, dude, get everybody over here, man. We want Max over here live. And it'd be like, whoa, no way. Yes way. Okay, so that's how it used to be. And a lot of the stuff was recorded because whoever owned the place was smart enough to have decent recording technology. A lot of that was on reel to reel. In this case, the collection I captured was from a guy who, one of the things that he was doing is preserving by creating a CD library of all of the reel-to-reel, cassette, and all the other stuff that we, you know, even records, some are even custom-cut records. There used to be private record machines you could buy just like tape recorders. Several of our people had them. That's how they were able to get, you know, in the old days before you had all the internet and everything else. And before cassettes, et cetera, guys, people used to cut records of speakers. And if you might, you might run into it once in a while, there'll be a burgundy colored vinyl. If you ever see a burgundy colored vinyl record, it literally will be burgundy. Well, that's not a plumb. It's burgundy. It's the best way to describe it. Full-sized LP, 33 and a third, and those albums are all custom. If you ever run into those, they are worth money because you might have something here that no one else has. Dead cold serious. You want to make money, you want to buy the next AR-15 for free, or so to speak, somebody else paid for it. This is the kind of stuff you need to be cognizant of. So if you see any of these burgundy albums, they were typically cut in-house. In many cases they were cut either at speakeasies or hole-in-the-walls like we're talking about, or they were done in private session. And they were done for courtesy or for promotional purposes. In many cases, somebody wanted, hey, you know, you guys are here. Could you play some music for me? Well, sure, Bob. I could do that. Hold on. Let me get the machine set up. And they had a platter cutter right there. And they were privately owned. This is stuff you can buy, put in your house the size of a stereo system about a chin high stereo system is what they look like. Again, old 50s to 60s to very early 70s. Didn't see much done in the 70s, but they were out there. So just a heads up on that. We're at the top and hopefully that makes our friends in South Dakota feel better. Mike and the mechanics aren't running. We are at the top of the hour here. God bless our Republic. death of the new order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march. We'll pay a night. Hurrah. Kick him with slats, beat him down hard. When they try to get back up, kick him in the head. Make sure they never get up again. We're going to war in 24 and we will win. And to do that, we've got to get rid of them. Anyway, we'll be back. Go grab a cup of coffee, run, use the bathroom. It is the end of the first hour. It is Friday on Liberty Tree Radio. We'll be back. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit till they're children. 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 to curry through 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 both sons to the right to rise, defend the Constitution of Supreme Law of the land? preserve our great republic in each god-given right. As Iowoki vanished in the mist for when his words were true. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled each god-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave. And we are back. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, before I go any farther, oh ho ho, this is some special coffee Nancy made. Smell. I'm going to taste. The coffee roll around on the tongue. It is of course 50% of the espresso. Very fine espresso. And of course a very high grade of creamer. that one of our friends produces down the road with the cows by the way. He owns the farm, he owns the dairy, and of course I had to have some of this because he just dropped them by. So, taste. Caffeole. Mement vain mignieux traipi. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon, an intelligence report. I'm Art Carkey. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories North East West and South ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com, libertytreeradio.org, and we are on satellite. Want to say hi to all our merchant marine operators out there. Know where your lifeboats are. Remember, the backstabbing Israelis are going to do something really wicked here pretty soon, if they haven't already, and they're just covering it up and waiting to throw it out there on the carpet. So pay attention and be safe. And we thank you again for your work. We're in a myriad of other communications technologies, both inside and outside these United States. It is Friday! Oh, it has been a beautiful Friday, and I'm inside. And it's a beautiful Friday, and I could be getting more done, but we have to do this. So guess what? If you get a chance, get back outside. My pasty friends. The beautiful spring air. We had first the air from the north. Now we have some coming off Lake Erie, and it's where it's clean. where the air has been scrubbed and now today a beautiful bright day. It is of course Cinco Di Amo Day. This is the day when the señoras, se señorita, señoras, all of you will go to the gun shop and you will buy a pistola or perhaps a rifle or perhaps a shakar. But if you do, because it is Cinco Di Amo Day. Today is the day when you must buy ammunition and if you are not celebrating it, there is something wrong with you. For today is payday perhaps. Take some of your centavos, pesos, euros, maybe American gringo dollars and buy all the ammunition you can get your hands on. So anyway, it is Cinco di Amode! Hi, Chintao! So, and again, that means it's the 10th of May. It is the 16th year of open, obvious, and in your face, Fabian the Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K2024 old earth calendar. Give her Ocea's gut, Captain! 125%! She'll blow up any minute! Of course, I'm lying. We actually can go 150, but that's okay. Makes everybody think, what did he say in the movie? I'm a miracle worker. Bloody hell. So anyway, yeah, that means it is the 16th year of Open Alveus and Ingerface Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. Absolutely. Make no mistake about it, with what you saw yesterday and today in Congress, Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K. I cannot emphasize that enough. 2024, Battle for the Republic, the dance of swords, of course. So, what a beautiful day. Let's see, songs. I was trying to think of some new stuff we could put out there. Taking the old seas, slow down, you're shooting too fast. You gotta make your ammo last. Kicking up the cobblestones, shooting the commies and feeling in the notch and groovy. Especially if you have a K98 Mauser, if you have one of those beautiful Swiss K or M31s, guess what? You know, notch and groove, get it? I want to bring that up because you don't need to put optics on those rifles, but if you do, yeah, they're even more of a... they will... the performance will, of course, be fantastic. But there's a ton of these K-43s, or forgive me, the 31s coming in right now. And you're going all the way back to the earlier model and variants that are pre-1898 and OFSL, all the way through to the post-World War I models and variants, which they produced all through, actually, I think, what, up to, I think up to the 40s at least, maybe the, and I'm probably wrong, closer to the 50s. The Schmidt-Rubin straight pulls in whatever variant are heavier than SIN. I was going to say something really great there for a moment. No, they're heavier than SIN. They really are. They're a beast rifle to carry. They are built like a brick doghouse. Most everything Swiss made during that, you know, the philosophy was they're going to pass it off to the next generation. Well, they did. And this stuff is just phenomenally engineered. The metallurgy was fantastic. There are stripper clips. Now most people don't realize this. I was buying them years ago and nobody thought about it because nobody wanted them. I used to go to the different wholesalers and they would always have cases, boxes of loose Schmidt-Rubin stripper clips. They're a little different. They were non-strategic material. They didn't make them out of metal. They do make a metal stripper clip and you can buy them with the stripper clip guides, but there is a non-strategic material guide stripper clip that was an ammo carrier mechanism and they were pennies. They weren't even pennies. I think I get ten for, you know, like five cents at one time. So we piled them up because he's, well, we got some at Rubens. I just don't have any, but somebody does. They'll take them. I took them with a bunch of other stuff. And, well, now there's so many of these Schmidt Rubens out there that, and because as you've seen those stripper clips and man-lincier stripper clips and everything have gone stupid price, you can make money hand over fist on the accoutrements. I mean hand over fist. But, if you're going to buy one of those Schmidt Rubens, there are still a few niches, a few holes, places where those stripper clips are actually cheap. And most people don't even realize they're there. Like I've said, a lot of these companies buy arms and ammunition and pieces and parts. And some of the stuff they get when they buy out a gun shop or a store are things they don't really normally carry. They're not interested in. They have a lot of them. They're going to throw them out. They got a good price on them. They sell a few. They can pay for all. And then everything else is profit. Well, now those things have become goofy profit. OK? This is like World War II stuff. Now Vietnam stuff is going the same way so and again, it's far enough in the tail lights We'd expect that the Schmidt Rubens one really cool thing about them if you get a chance to take a look at the rifle if one of your friends has one and you should familiarize yourself with the Schmidt Rubens straight pull rifle because there are a lot of them out there now they're in the 7.5 swifts which is a 30 caliber load. Basically, its counterpart is a 7.62x51 NATO. There was a period of time when one company, and it was a precision machining company, so they did really good work, were actually re-chambering the Schmidt Rubens from the 7.5 to other cases. and because the quality of the barrel is so phenomenal, the only thing you had to watch is that I believe that there was a short period when they were doing a stellite type liner for the barrels. If you're familiar with that, guys, you're not machining that. That was a very rare item. And these were Marksman's guns. There's a special whole history on those that they cropped up back in the early 80s. as surplus, but they're out there and it's more likely you'll probably see one of those nowadays. But 7.5 Swiss is out there as surplus a little bit and it's typically, everybody considers it match great ammunition, rightly so because the ammunition is, the Swiss don't do anything cheap. And the quality of their ammunition is phenomenal, okay. However, I would not shoot the military ball ammo. Once again, Mark will tell you to save it. You may want to grab a box, sandbag the gun, and find out where it prints with that ammunition so you can understand and relate to it. But if I was doing any regular shooting with a Schmidt Rubin for training to give people some live fire experience, I go to AIMSurplus.com and pick up PPU 7.5 Swiss. It's as cheap as anything else out there that PPU makes. They do offer it both in ball and I have seen it in soft point. It's again an excellent solution. You shoot for a particular rifle, make sure you reload for that rifle and it's a lot easier to reload. Take the brass, mark the box for that rifle and keep shooting it out of that weapon and you'll get more life out of the reloaded brass. First rule, more shooting, less cost. Okay. The Schmidt Rubens though, take a look at the muzzle crown. Now this is something I've talked about a lot because most of your K98 Mausers, be they the Czech, Polish or German, and of course there's Spanish out there, a lot of Spanish. Right now there's some Spanish surplus showing up because that's coming from the Ethiopian hordes. The cache is there. Most of the Mauser types use what is a ball crown. Now what do I mean by that? Well if you're looking at it from the side, it looks like, if you look at the barrel, get up close, it looks like from the side like half a donut. In other words, cut a half a donut, put that on the end of a tube, and that's what the crown looks like on the typical Mauser rifle. And the crown, or the half of the donut is cut on the inside circle there, that's where the rifling ends. Now what happens with most rifles no matter how hard you try and one of the reasons that people go, it's an old rifle, it's not shooting. Well, you don't know anything about gunsmithing or you don't think about the guns. So you're thinking that because it's got an issue that you can't fix it. You can back set your crown in it very quickly and bring and tighten that barrel right back up with whatever rifling is left in it. Now rifling is the other half of the formula, but a lot of the Euro guns, especially the K98s, have very deep lands and grooves. The Polish Mausers especially were good for that. Along with the Czechs, they were all competing against the K98 Mauser in Germany for marketing overseas. Well, the Schmidt Rubens weren't really marketer overseas. They were just making them for themselves. But if you look, they did a canted crown, and there's a reason for that, to reduce the possibility of wear and tear on the crown with cleaning of the weapon, because that's really, it's not the bullets that get you, it is the repeated cleaning which is necessary and was traditionally necessary for the last hundred years because of corrosive ammunition. Now because of this, most of these countries made crown protectors and they're still out there. You can still find them. Your SKS carbine and AKA if you got the Chinese or if you got the Romanian cleaning kit for the SKS or the Bulgarian. Have you looked to see how that cleaning kit works? You have a crown protector part of your cleaning kit that little module when you click take it apart remember part of it's a handle but part of it if you'll notice there's a hole and it's dimpled in a particular way and You actually have a little set of claws and if you look you can take that little cap that's only about what maybe an inch long and Or, well, maybe not even 3-quarters of an inch after it'll double measure it again. But anyway, you put that on the end of the muzzle, you click it into place to the site, congratulations, you now have a ramrod guide that takes the abuse instead of the crown of your rifle. Have you ever used that when you've cleaned your weapon? Well, here's a little hint. You should. Now, they make a variety, and I believe, and I was slightly in the microphone, I could be wrong, I think... that over at JGSales.com if you've got the Spanish Mausers or the M95 Steyr Strait Poles which are Austrian, Austro-Hungarian or anything like that there are a number of guides out there. They're wood handled. They actually look like a screwdriver handle, a very nice wooden screwdriver handle. They have a shaft hole in the middle. They also have a knuckle slash a lock point at the other end and this goes over the muzzle of the rifle. Once that little notch is parallel with the front sight, you just turn it sideways and that locks it onto the rifle. Very simple. And most important, is that the metals that were typically used are also softer, non-aggressive metals for the guides. So the cleaning rod, of course, the guide should be taking the abuse if it were to wear out. It's a penny item. It's a trinket item. The barrel is a significant component of the weapon, right? So you don't want to wear that down. So heads up, again, these are simple little tools that were built for most, all the firearms out there. JG sales, the one that they have, I think, will fit the M95, but it'll also fit a lot of the other earlier mousers. Pre-98s especially, so you might want to experiment if you've got a bunch of Model 91s, Model 93s, Model 95s, etc., etc., etc. You might want to check that out because again, a lot of the Spanish M1916s are coming out right now that are basically Model 93. And the neat thing about these is that, again, they're not looking too shabby. But let's protect them because they are as old as they are, and they have seen some miles sometimes. You can of course fix the crown if you have to experiment, but you might not have to so let's protect it so it doesn't wear down. Go ahead, call or jump in there, please. Hey Mark, it's John from Kentucky. I use a, I think it's a 243 case cut in half in a 30 caliber. The neck fits right into the barrel. And then the ramrod goes through the center of it. Over. Exactly. Because again, the brass, it will wear out, but the brass is not going to be abusive to the barrel. It's going to absorb and prevent any chafing or wear on the muzzle crown. And again, the price is right, what you're doing. And you can create them. Remember, just experiment with whatever case out there fits, break out your drill index, and match up accordingly for the hole for your ram rod, or for your cleaning rod. Forgive me. Go ahead. I just cut the case in half. I sacrificed one case. It's the cheapest and easiest. Put two in your cleaning box and forget about it. I'm out. Yep, exactly. Thank you. Again, well, improvise, adapt, and overcome. Good solution. I think one of the big things here again is the Swiss rifles actually do come with them in their kit and you might notice the for $10, this is, they're still a steal. Right now you can get the Swiss Army cleaning kits. They are, they have a black handle. It's actually a plastic handle. They're a very well constructed cleaning kit. They're built for 30 caliber because, oh, that's right. The Schmidt Rubens are 30 caliber. So you can get a phenomenal cleaning kit that you wouldn't just use on the 30 caliber, you know, the K31s, but you can use it on all the rest of your 30 caliber weapons. So there's all kinds of neat solutions out there. All of them work. All of them are good. So take advantage of them while you can. And again, that's a simple solution there. The big thing is that when the brass wears out, take that piece of brass, throw it over into your scrap pile. Don't ever throw it away. And find yourself another piece, modify accordingly, and you're back in business. And so again, repeat, repeat, repeat. The one thing I brought the other thing about the Stires is everybody has been asking me about this deal. What do you think about them? They're heavy. I mean, I'm going to tell you, if you haven't picked up a That's the first thing everybody says when they've ordered one. I've noticed this. Oh, they're kind of heavy. Well, yeah, they're an infantry rifle. Remember, they weren't concentrating on volume fire, but you can get a great deal of volume fire going with a straight-pull gun once you get used to it. And what we say by straight-pull, guys, you just grab the charging, you grab the bolt handle, pull straight to the rear. Once you pulled it all the way to the rear, jam it forward with significant force. Next round is picked up, aim, boom. The Steyr straight pull works the same way and right now there are a bunch of Steyr straight pulls in the full Gewehr or long rifle over at Royal Tiger imports. Now that's a totally different weapon from the, that's the Austro-Hungarian M95. That rifle had a number of developments just like the Schmidt-Rueben and it stayed in service for about the same period of time. In fact, even up until just a little bit ago, the reason you're seeing some of these that look like they've been in an arsenal, not in the desert in Ethiopia, or I should say the dry popcorn fart era of Ethiopia, is because there are still caches of these things around in Europe, and they've been, you know, putting them out there. And actually, I think it's the Rent-A-Revolution companies. Up until the A90s, or actually back in the 90s, the Rent-A-Revolution companies were selling the styrostrace bulls to African natives to defend themselves from the other tribes who bought AKs. Or they just bought the styro, because it was, they bought them because they were cheap. They probably got them for about anywhere from three to seven dollars a gun over-the-counter retail. but which is a big chunk of money for people who are dirt poor in Africa. But they also could get ammunition, where not all ammunition was available, for more modern guns. So the Stire, the ammunition all coming in stripper clips, was purchased in big quantity and it was used as a local or tribal defense gun for quite some time. Still hanging around out there. Problem, they do require stripper clips if you want to use the mag. So when they lost the stripper clips, if they weren't paying attention, it's a single shot rifle. Other things about the Swiss Schmidt Ruben, it will reach comfortably with iron sights 1,000 yards. Comparatively speaking, it's as good as a many match grade Springfield you're going to run into or match grade M1A or M1 Garand as an average rifle. The performance on these things has been fantastic because first of all, they were well maintained by the population. They have a deep, they have had a deep Ordnance Support System for the Civilian Marksmanship End, which is what everybody is a part of. Everybody's supposed to be in the militia in Switzerland. And so these guns actually have been well maintained as either cash guns that were hidden away by the population. They're given to the people by the government. They're told to hide them so we can't find them. Oh, you thought that they hit him from the government because the government's going to come and confiscate him. No, the government gave him to him and told him that we'd better not be able to find these easily because when the other side shows up, they're going to want to try and steal them from us. So let's make sure we've got all the guns out where we need them, which is what they did. So that's why these things have never really fully been withdrawn. And you still see videos of a lot of the Swiss shooting the Schmitts on the range, the Schmitt Rubens on the range on a regular basis. with the younger adults firing and operating newer weapons that they've been issued. But usually if you see them on the range, they have a Schmidt, a .22 of some kind, and again the Ishiwet rifle that they have to qualify with. If not more, I mean they're doing the same thing we do. What I, some of you, would you carry it if you, you know, if you, to keep you alive? Well, yeah, I'm going to tell you right now, the Schmidt-Rueben rifles that are out there, I'm sure I could probably take it, like I said, like the M14 to about 700 yards of the iron sights comfortably, 750, and the rifle's fully capable of it. I have not seen a bad one yet. I've not seen an abused Schmidt-Rueben. I've seen abused everything else, but because these all were held by the pasty-faced white people of Switzerland, you know, the white people took care of what they had and maintained it. It's just that simple. And so what you're seeing coming out are decent. Now, it's a bastard caliber. I'm going to say it's an orphan caliber. You're not going to find anybody carrying 7.5 Swiss. Nobody. But if you're an American Defense Force and you also like to collect guns, it's an effective weapon. You just need to buy dyes, make sure you buy all the brass that can be reloaded you can, go to AIM surplus, buy PPU, and buy a lot of it. But also watch for the Swiss 7.5 ammunition that pops out here and there and buy a case or two of it at a time, usually a case. It's in the black milk carton cardboard containers. They're heavily waxed. It has a black outer coating or it's just a black outer coloring for the cardboard. It is very waterproof. We're very well packed, quite intricate. And again, in most cases also was in a transport can. Mostly when it got here, they dumped the transport can and sold it separately. You know, people trying to make as much money off whatever was imported. And so the transport cans, you can find them, the proper can for that ammunition in the bricks that it's made in. But it's few and far between and it's not collectible. I mean, they are considering it collectible. That's the problem. So it's not worth it if you're paying an ungodly amount. You can make it work, make that ammunition work with other cans. So I just go with a can that's closer to the mark and be done with it if you're gonna think about putting it in separate ammo cans, which you should by the way. They were at the bottom of the hour. Okay, we had two people. We already took care of the Dakotas. So for everybody out there, you're listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com LibertyTreeRadio.org. We're headed in the weekend. I want to say hi to Camp Emory, Camp Emerson, New Camp Stasa, Camp Wayland North where all the work was done earlier this year and it's paying off. Let's see, the Ogama Range is Naga-Hitcham, and especially Naga-Hitcham is busy this weekend, Fox-Wolf, and new Fort Benning, Michigan, along with the Rustics, but the Rustics are going to start changing names here pretty soon. They aren't just dots on the map. And I was going to talk about temporary or cheap structure construction that you can do anywhere. Actually, you can make it a kit. More on that in a minute, because I got to make sure I put that out this hour. Anyway, Ed, if you could, let's see what was the first request here that we had. We covered the one, so we got the mic and the mechanics out of the way. Let's do, I got three here, let's do, oh, you know what, I'm gonna do, this is one, somebody else mentioned this in random today, it's one of those Matrix things. It's an attitude song, okay? And you might recall the John Wayne movie, North to Alaska. Johnny Horton North to Alaska Ed if you could play that although that's for our friends way down in the south in the Southwest Okay, probably heading up to Alaska or something. No, you just like the song. Okay. I appreciate that So North to Alaska Johnny Horton, you might recall the song was the theme for a John Wayne movie by the same Title North to Alaska. I'm pretty sure that was the name of it matter of fact And you are listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com Liberty Tree Radio dot o RG Don't forget we're also on six. We are back Johnny Horton Johnny Horton as a matter of fact This is gonna keep me happy to Johnny Horton We weren't sure who had done this originally because I pulled it out of another inventory Johnny Horton for all of you that are mechanized this weekend. We're pulling out all the stops and all the activity we've had around the state. Everybody figures keep your best weapons close to you and make sure that they're squared away and ready to fight. So we are in battle mode this weekend for training and that means all our mech heads will be out there. Some of you have been with the Gary Owen. So for everybody again, here we go. A fighting song live. to the chopper. coordinated ground and air tech in the Lenawee County area and also in Ohio. So we will be down that neck of the woods with a small ab section, should be three OH-58s. And we have one UH-1 that's going to be participating. Also a bunch of our little crotch rocket, uh, mosquito helicopters. And this will be, of course, in conjunction with some of the CMM units in Northern Ohio. So you guys, we're going to have to stop in. Don't worry, you're not that far away. We're going to be stopping in. I don't know what day, but we will be there because it's just fun. And also 18th regimental combat team, Colonial Marine Militia Mechanize. You guys will be out there. That's Gary Owen. That's why the Gary Owen theme is again part of the repertoire for today and the 18th, which are my guard, as a matter of fact. And I want to say thank you guys. I appreciate the The honor that you give me, been a while. But we are adding a few more vehicles to the inventory that we have dug out of mothballs. Remember, there's a collection about a month and a half ago we found. Took time to get the rest of everything. We don't move stuff until we know for sure what we've got, you know, what happened to something. And it turned out with one of the vehicles, we had a transmission issue that was locked up. That's why it was parked, which was not surprised. It's a tracked vehicle. Which means it's, you know, you ever tried dragging a rock that weighs like, you know, 13 tons? You know, and so instead, how about we be smart? So the wrench heads all got in there and it turns out that it was simply transmission follies that we see with vehicles of the type that were resurrecting. In this case, it's an assault. It's an odd man out. because, and I can't even recall the nomenclature for the vehicle, there were a bunch of them in the southern part of the state. We have more than one of these that we have found. But it was an assault gun version of the chafee. Now, if they made these things, their serial numbers are not XM. The serial numbers are... M's which means that you know usually the government does this so by a vehicle they put a series of them into service and they call them an XM model Sometimes like with trucks it can be 500 of them and they're still experimental because they're gonna tweak the design So they put them into service and let us beat them to death and then they figure out what broke and then they change it and then they make it the M model Well, it's interesting these vehicles which I've cracked the history down of forgive me off the top of my head they had A main gun was a Hawitzer, typically they're there. But they were in the Chafee 105s, by the way, just to let you know, they're a 105 Hawitzer. But they were our answer to the Stungeschutz Hawitzer variant and its open hull. There are a lot of vehicles like this built during the middle end of the war. In this case, very nimble, very easy to work on. Later on, after the World War II, European countries developed the overhead cover and armor for them, so mimicking that is your best bet. In this case, for what we plan on using it for until it dies, whatever, The price was right. It's a gimme thing. We already have it. So anyway, we got that dragged out. You might see that this weekend. I don't know if the guys have rebuilt the trans. In this case, it's a Chrysler transmission. I don't know why, because I know that there have been others. I know a lot of those were Dodgems, and a lot of them were Ford. So apparently Chrysler, which is big here in southern Michigan, northern Ohio. back in the day. These were built here and, or at least the rebuild of the upper hull was done here. And these vehicles are still dotting on the map. We're still finding them. They run like a rape date. Once they're put together, everything's squared away. They are a phenomenal piece of equipment. They're actually pretty nimble and they're good for speed. So, Again, thank you to the guys and Double Plus Good. If I dig up another sanctuary of iron dinosaurs, we're pulling them into service, you know that. Now, real quick, I want to talk about something else here. And this is, of course, over the weekend, you can even experiment a little bit. As Ed knows, we built greenhouses. We started out doing a design that somebody else had been putting out on information bases like YouTube and it was like, it's interesting, but what can we do to make it better? And we did, we started playing with it. We originally, the design called for using VisiQueen, what you do is you make a frame out of one inch PVC pipe. You take 10 foot pieces of PVC pipe, you use a normal joiner, a straight joiner is what was originally proposed, which works. And what you do is create ribs. every two feet, you can make it as long as you want. And every two feet, what you do is make another rib. Now, the way to do this is you can use, say, half inch, or used iron pipe. You can use rerod, or I should say reinforcing, rebar. You can buy it in sections which are actually just exactly what you want. From any of the big box stores, you go over to their hardware section. We should say their raw materials section. or you can cut them, you can find scrap later on, which is what we do. And what you do is you map it out first by creating a rectangle the size that you want. Again, the idea behind this is you're creating a Quonset hut. So what you want is an arc, basically a half circle. And the idea behind this is that you have a uniform material you can purchase anywhere, 10 foot pieces of PVC pipe. The joiners are minimal cost because it's a straight jointer originally. In addition to that, the VisiQueen was off the shelf and to keep the VisiQueen in place. Now this design is still not bad. You take one and a quarter inch PVC pipe, cut it into four inch or five inch sections, and then what you do is map out, you make a jig if you want, which is actually quite easy to do, and you cut about a fingers width, any finger will do, but about a fingers width, a little more or a little less, no not less, more. Actually you can do almost, one and a quarter you do actually, one large thumb, let's do it that way. You cut that much out of it lengthwise, round the corners, after you cut the pipe, take a grinder and round them out, use a sander, round them out. And what you have are clips to hold the VisiQueen in place. So you can use Canvas, you can use VisiQueen, and the one and a quarter PVC pipe internal dimension matches the one inch external. So when you clip it on, it locks into place, especially when it has a load, an additional material filling out the dimension when you clip these things together. Initially we did the VisiQueen. Later on, we started experimenting with other materials. I mean, after all, we want it kind of to be semi-permanent. The greenhouse is built this way. You also need about the four-foot mark or five-foot mark, five-foot even because that's halfway up the height of the PVC pipe on the inside. You need a crossbar. Now, the first thing that was recommended, and it actually is pretty cool, is cement. fascia bars that you use for screwing to cement to create a mock steel stud for installing drywall or whatever else you want in a basement or a cement surface area. You can use it for a lot of other projects. Now this is actually like a U-channel. And it was cheap, used to be cheap. It disappeared from the market for a while. I mean, when I see disappeared, people told me that the hardware never existed. And you could buy this material at any common hardware in the country. But newer people who had no clue about hardware, had no clue of history, would tell you that, oh, you know, they never made anything like that. There's nothing available yet. Then I went to another part of the industry and found it was still there. Now, the steel channel is 10 foot long. You're going to need a couple of those for each side, but it varies depending upon what are you building. Now, if you want to make a longer greenhouse using these PVC pipe, they're cheap. Now, first question we have is, well, how do they hold up? Well, they actually hold up quite well. In fact, we had the first prototype up for two years, and the only thing that really took a meeting was the VisiQueen. Using other materials, this is the next step. Since you know that you have a 10-foot high PVC pipe, and let's say that I don't need a clear surface, but rather I'm trying to make a... How about a protective overhead shed to cover... How about small tractor or maybe a piece of equipment? You map out the same greenhouse format. You make it 10-foot long or make it 20-feet long. Wait a minute, Mark. Why didn't you just go somewhere in between? Here's why. And I'm abbreviating this. If you go to buy vinyl siding and you want to purchase vinyl siding, it comes in one box that it will cover one 10-foot height times a 10-foot length. Well, or whatever length you buy your vinyl siding in, because you can get that in different lengths. So the interesting thing is, is since you know that every two feet you're going to put up a rib, you're going to put your crossbar on the inside. What's really great about this is you use all the same material used for vinyl siding finishing. You get a tractor edge for the base. You screw that in. A couple of screws per each of the PVC pipe. And now you have a guide. And then all you do is take one panel of vinyl siding out. Click it into place. Screw it into the PVC pipe across the whole length. In other words, from left to right. Grab another piece, click it into place. You know how quickly you can put this up? How durable is this? Well, by the way, now we do both sides. We get all the way to the top. What are we going to use for a cap? Well, amazingly enough, I found that what really works well as a cap are the corner guides. Now it doesn't have to be the same color and I try to find at resale points like let's see Habitat for Humanity, but also look for throwouts or tossouts or returns from Menards, Lowe's, some have them, some don't so you figure out who does and who doesn't or look for odds and ends pieces from friends. Are you talking about dry all corner beads Mark? No, no, no. Or some other stuff like this. Plastic vinyl side corner bead that's used all corners. And that becomes a natural crown for the building. Think about it. It's peaked. And it has two sides. And what you do is lay that down along the top, and everything comes right up to that 10-foot mark, locks right into where that other piece is overlapping, and you have yourself a small vinyl-sided PVC tube building that will hold up to a Michigan winter. How do we know this? Because we built them, we built it, and it did. Now, if you put your little guide bar on the inside just a little higher than four feet, in other words, you want it so the bottom rail of your two horizontal bars for support are the lower part of it at four feet, just at four feet, maybe a little higher, not much, by maybe an eighth of an inch. You can then buy 4x8 sheets of polyvinyl, take your pick, plastic, whatever, and screw that into the lower surface. It will arc and will cover efficiently and help to reinforce that outer arc. And you've got yourself one hell of a strong structure. But before you put that inner panel in, go buy yourself some inexpensive Styrofoam. Cut it to fit within the two-foot distance, less than two feet of the PVC pipe. Insert that. Now remember, you can buy that in 8-foot and 10-foot sections. So if you're smart, you might buy 10-foot sections, cut them the width between the two PVC pipe, slide them into place. You don't have to glue them or anything. And then take that inner panel, screw it into place, and you have a very rigid lower base that will handle weight. Because remember, we're in Michigan. We get snow. Now, did I leave the ends open? Well, yes, you can. However, what I did with our greenhouse is I took leftover two by twos, that's a little heavier than the PVC pipe, but literally, designing it after a quancet hut, a standard quancet hut, I took a throw out windows from a couple of campers that somebody got rid of and put out by the road, which have louvers, made a frame to fit those at one end. Made a frame for a standard size, biggest screen drawer I could find. And you got to make sure, remember, for height, it's got to be able to fit the space that you have with the arc of the roof, the arc of the PVC pipes. The neat thing about this is that you can use either a 2x2 or you can use PVC pipe, but you have to be willing to calculate and cut your little tapers on either end. You want to cut little arcs into the pipe. You line them up, you screw it in place on either side. And by the way, what kind of screws? I use a pan self-tapping wide head sheet metal pan screw because it offers more reinforcing. It catches more. You don't need a washer. You can put washers on them. I try to use stainless. Why? Well, because I might want to take it apart. I don't want it to fall apart right away. Amazingly enough, we had one that we put up like this for two years, and what killed it was the tornado that hit us. And even then, one of the branches had come down and crushed it and damaged it. Now parts of it did get pulled away to Oz. But considering that it had been up for two full Michigan winters, this very simple design doesn't rust, doesn't corrode, doesn't break down. You don't even care. Okay, you know, for instance, if I wanted to get out of the weather, Michigan rain being what it is like we had the last couple days, the neat thing is that even with the ends open, this is a very efficient, simple design that allows you to put equipment, material, supplies out of sight, out of mind. Now, other tricks, what can you do? Well, number one, you can gravel the inside of the area so that you got, again, a surface area. You want to kill off the grass if you can. Scab it off and then fill with pea gravel or limestone or whatever you want. That's one solution. Or maybe one you want to keep in place first, but then you can put, as you collect stuff that's being thrown away, you could use pallets and pallet the floor and then cover it with a plywood or whatever materials you have. And now you have a standoff from the ground, so you're not in contact with that. You have good drainage. Again, if you do materials you don't care about, if it is something that eventually gets tired, you just drag it all out, sort of burn it in the fire pile for the campfire, and put another batch down. So this is a very simple building. This is what we're going to be putting up at the new Fort Benning site. In fact, I've been shopping around and looking around and for instance for $100 at one of the lumber companies here, they had five full cases of returned vinyl siding from a contract. They had the corrugated Eve panels. They have the guide panels and the corner panel, all the corner slips, everything I was talking about to put, you know, put a little project together like this, but anything else can be done with it too. But it's $100 for everything. And you know what's really cool? It's in like grass green. It's in a grass green. It's not in just the regular pack colors, which really isn't a problem because the colonial gray green, you know, gray green or gray are actually great field colors. And a lot of the vinyl-siting colors that are out there that are factory standard, you know, red's not a really good choice. Barn red isn't really needed. But the other field grade field colors or earth colors are perfect for tactical deployment. Now, one of the things I did experiment with, I used the colonial blue, I used the gray, and I used the medium loam green siding from down the road, and I created a camouflage pattern using the vital siding. So it disrupted it because it wasn't a solid color. Now, the colonial blue is quite dark, almost an Air Force midnight blue. So, amazingly enough, it worked quite well in the overhead cover shaded areas because it complements the variance in color and sunlight through overhead treetop cover. So, just an idea. The Norwegians use a pattern similar to this where they actually were. I don't know, they're using another pattern right now, by the way. But for their coastal defense camouflage they use the similar camouflage color range And it actually is quite successful things you just never see it in the United States you never see any of it available and They're even patenting all their new uniforms if you didn't know that nor we won't sell their present uniform to anyone Somebody tried to make a copy and they went after them Who should tell you something so what I say nor they you don't see very much because this doesn't come from there very much, okay? So anyway, ideas, and this is simple, two standard vinyl siding boxes, whatever size vinyl siding you get. See how you notice something here I tried to do. I don't want to make any more cuts or do any special work than I have to. So the basic construction of this does not require any cutting. Even when I use the track panel, the U panels on the inside for the horizontal support. I don't cut them down. I overlap them and that creates a stronger ribbing. So even though they're eight foot, they're going to be actually only need say 10 foot or I need 12 foot or whatever. I don't cut them off. I actually overlap them and screw both of them right into the beam, into the one by PVC pipe. Anyway, ideas. We're going to get out of the way though because militia town hall is coming up next. More ideas are going to be presented here. God bless our Republic. Get to the New World Order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run. And we are on the march both day and night going to Botan to get glock mags for under seven dollars. Oh yes yes yes yes. By the way real quick, Vital Sighting, you got a buddy or a friend you know that does Vital Sighting, they almost always have a field full of the leftovers behind the barn. You go check to see what's there. You might find everything you need for free because he's a buddy. And they usually end up with so much that they start throwing it away. Hint, hint, hint. Don't let that happen. Anyway guys, we're going to get it away from now. Edward's coming up, you guys. It's your program and we'll be back at 8 o'clock on the Indian Intel Report. God bless. Bye-bye.
