Summary
Mark Koernke discussed political theater in the 2008 presidential campaign, criticizing the staged nature of candidate appearances and false promises about Iraq withdrawal timelines. He provided extensive practical guidance on field preparedness, including drainage systems for defensive positions, proper use of military shelter halves and ponchos, and camouflage techniques to avoid aerial detection. Koernke highlighted ongoing militia training operations across multiple states, announced the forthcoming PM2908 basic rifle marksmanship trainer's guide, and emphasized the importance of discipline in field operations including sanitation, water treatment, and noise discipline. He promoted upcoming Hautari training exercises scheduled for late September and encouraged listeners to organize at local and individual levels.
Getting ready for school with Walmart and Hannah Montana. A new grade, a new school. A new school? We are so ready. How about geography? Please, no problem. Yeah, bring it on. Trying out for the school play. Bring it on. Yeah, bring it on. Don't just get them ready for school. Get them ready for anything with low prices on Hannah Montana fashion and gear at Walmart. Feeling like a rock star? Bring it on. I am a rock star. Save money. Live better. Walmart. Live 365. O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free and home? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the evening intelligent report intelligence report. I mark corny One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, southwest, east, and southeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, PBN.4mg.com, and we're on live 365 and go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM microstations, CB Bay stations. and UltraNet technologies both east and west of the Mississippi. Today's date is the 22nd. It is a Friday. Come on people, we're at the very end of the work week. We've got a lot of things going on. Training operations all across the United States, congratulations to our people working and forging ahead there. We have a number of different speaking engagements that are taking place. Of course, we've got events coming up this weekend, not this weekend. We have a party on the beach tomorrow. Party on the beach tomorrow. That's party on the beach. It will be 5 p.m. on. So if you get a chance, load up and stop on by. We're going to be covering a number of subjects. And bring a bag of chips, bring a couple bottles of pop, a couple of two liters or some three liters from the dollar store. You're a choice. There's Fago here in Michigan. Some of our Michigan companies that kind of spread out all over the place came from Detroit. Fago. If you see it, you can blame Michigan for it. Anyway, it is a beautiful Friday. We just got some summer rain here. Now we actually had a summer day yesterday and today. And then we had, of course, we had cloud cover this morning. We finally got some rain. It's been rumbling all day, all through the midday, then the afternoon. Finally we got a burst. It was a classic downpour. And now it's just kind of, well, stopped and the rain has rolled away again. Maybe we'll get some more tonight as it gets cooler. But right now it's cleared back up outside a little bit. I'm actually heading towards sunset here, which is getting earlier and earlier, as you should notice. Since it is the end of the work week, remember, take your time getting home from work. Some of you out there, of course, are three hours behind us, so you're just now. Probably getting off work and thinking about heading home. Well, when you are rolling up the machinery and shutting off the equipment, remember pay attention what's beyond the hood of the car. Don't just think about what you got down the road, be it a steak or a beer or a pop or a tea or whatever, or just sitting next to the pool or being in the pool. But either way, that's when you get home. Meanwhile, play Scatterdodge. Avoid the people who are talking on the cell phone and who aren't paying attention and you'll get home safe just Now, a couple things real quick. How many people have been watching all the BS courses? Oh, Samba Bama Ding Dong is going to pick a VP. He doesn't pick the VP people. You all understand that, right? Just as we know that nobody really got a chance to pick Samba Bama Ding Dong and the Chipmunks. The same is true with regard to this other mystery nonsense. And I'm not set on that so much as watching the footage. I'm sitting there for just a few minutes and you know I don't watch very much controlled media but I'm sitting here in this lobby and there's a whole bunch of other people sitting there. I said, yep, plastic politician. First he's going to take his coat off and he did. And then I said, then he's going to roll his arm sleeves up like he's going to work. Of course he's never done that in his life but the interesting thing about it is that watching this, this is the most obnoxious thing and I hate it. When I see these plastic, shallow, panty waste politicians do this. Some of them go to real extreme lengths, but first they come up and they're in a suit. Okay, you got the suit on, you took time to wear it that way, and then what they do is they come out on the stage and the first thing they do is, oh, oh, wait a minute, and then they'll take the coat off and they hand it to their cue maister on the side. He just happens to be there and he's ready with a coat look even. Usually with a code hook it's like, what the hell is that? And then of course, oh wait a minute, and he unbuttons his collar. Now there's a third option here on this. The next thing he does is he reaches up to his tie knot and he loosens it up and he unbuttons his collar. And then he very ceremoniously rolls up his sleeves because he's going to show you the whole idea. We're going to get to work. Yeah, yeah, right. The white work shirt. You're going to get to work all right. Kiss behind end. Well, sure enough, I'm sitting there and I said, you know what, I just thought out to it, I am disgusted because if you watch people, and I just said it out loud, I didn't care who the hell was listening or what they liked or disliked, what I was going to say, I said, you're going to see McCain do the exact same thing. Sure enough, I had not watched any of these CNN increments. There's McCain, taking his coat off, undoing his collar, rolling up his sleeves. I said, that's basic plastic politician slash shallow politician 101. Now, let me ask you, I had to make a little comment, facetious comment. I said, well, if you wanted to look like that, why didn't you save us all time so we could hear more substance and less BS? And actually come out with your sleeves rolled up and just be done with it. Don't wear the jacket out there. So the play acting in and of itself is designed to eat up time. and That's all there is to it. So anyway, it just sickened me. I watched that for a bit and it's like, okay, there's one. Now then, the other discussion was, oh, we're going to be out of Iraq by 2011. Yeah, and I'm a Chinese jet pilot. 2011 is a long way out and their logic is, since you only have a three week memory span as far as Washington is concerned, well it would be true if they are dealing with the rest of the popcorn population, that you are not going to remember by the year 2011 that they said we would be out by 2011. And the control press won't raise a squeak or make a statement. Now, for anybody who is dealing with any of these liberals out there right now, have some fun. Oh yeah, well as soon as we get Pelosi voted in, as soon as we can get her into office, we're going to have impeachment proceedings against George Bush and the war in Iraq will end in three weeks, maybe four at the most. Oh wait a minute, well Pelosi did get voted in and they lied. Oh, don't forget that Pelosi wrote in on the 9-11 Truth Movement with all the people there who thought, oh yeah, we need change. Remember that change thing? You are hearing it again just like you heard it with the Pelosi BS. Now, don't make any mistake about it. McLean is no different. We understand exactly what he is. In fact, as I pointed out, here is another seat I want to plant for everybody out there listening. Guys, guys, guys. There has got to be billions of hours, millions of hours of footage of Osama bin Laden and of McLean both doing their BS routines. I think it would be priceless to do a split screen showing them doing the plastic politician side by side. And then up above, what you do is you put CFR in a little bracket, but in gold, black and gold, it can be easily seen, easily read. CFR with Council on Foreign Relations, you've seen one stunt dummy, you've seen them all. Or you've seen one stunt dummy, you've seen them all. And then you can put watch for the cues, remember, take off jacket. I actually do it a little bar place, take off jacket, and show them taking off the jacket. And then loosen tie and they loosen tie and then button, they get unbuttoned and they're sure. And then let's see, next step in Plastic Politician 101, oh, don't forget to roll the arm sleeves up while you're yapping at the audience. And that's exactly what we saw. So that was pretty well disgusting. Number two. interesting things seeing in the news. As we know about the sharks out west, don't worry, they are not really going to eat people. They are after anchovies and shrimp. Of course, not the person gets in the way they are finished, but that is another story. Anyway, interesting thing is that more discussion about that than about what is really going on in the system right now with the money. Also, the discussion about what is happening in Florida with the weather cycle. Now, it's really funny. Well, first of all, something really stupid I saw in the news here. Guys, did you know there's a northern peninsula to Florida? Anybody ever hear about this before? I've lived in Michigan. Michigan has an upper and lower peninsula. That's already in place, guys. If you look at the map, we have two peninsulas and we have a whole bunch of little peninsulas that are attached to the big peninsulas. Have you noticed that? We've got like the thumb. which is attached to the lower peninsula LP. On the upper we have the key one on. We have a number of different points and juts out that go right out into the big lakes. Those are peninsulas. I look at the map of Florida and the first thing I'm thinking is, well it looks like a ripe eggplant hanging there ready to be picked. But I don't see any second significant peninsula to speak of. Now most are assuming the not natural but manmade little panhandle. It's always been referred to, think about it guys, how many times have you heard this, the panhandle of Florida. That's the term that's always been used. So why is it all of a sudden peninsula? Where did they get that? I'd like to know and I'd love to see it. But I think it was just again, you know, figure everybody is so goofed they won't know the difference anyway. Weather patterns. Remember what I said about Michigan. We get the same weather pattern. If you pay attention, especially satellites, they sometimes, you don't even have to emphasize it. The satellite cloud imagery shows the pattern. We get a large hurricane type effect or like a cyclic effect that starts to have arms the whole nine yards that centers around the middle of Michigan. Actually a little above Lansing, basically the middle of the globe. What it is is that the lakes, where they are sucking and blowing, it actually starts where the storm fronts run down the west side of Lake Michigan. They cut across to Chicago, of course, come right down to Chicago, cut across Ohio and Indiana, go up the Ontario Peninsula, go back over Lake Superior, come back down the far side of Superior and into Wisconsin, and then right down Lake Michigan again. There is this massive cycle like this. It takes place for weeks, sometimes even a couple of months. But usually about three or four weeks at the most, in other words, a little under a month. Well, down there in Florida we're seeing the same thing right now, which is very interesting, but not a surprise. And again, it's not like this is a major wipeout storm, so much as it is the tedium of the piddling water that nonstop builds up. One of the things that you should note, if you're building structures, let's say you're going to build a retreat. pointed this out before that if you can elevate the retreat, you know, for instance, you can put a basement in anything. As long as you got good drainage, first of all, you should be picking your terrain so you're not going to have the water issue as a problem. However, you may not have to be able to pick or choose depending on where you are in the country and what you can afford. At the very least, elevate the building that you're going to construct above the would be considered the normal ground surface plane by a couple feet. It's not a big deal. Really isn't a bad idea at all. You can always dig or revet the building underneath when the time comes to build fighting stations underneath the building. That's not that complicated an issue, it's just a matter of being creative with tools. That's why the old infantry and trenching tools are really handy. But the other thing is to be able to evacuate water and keep yourself up out of a possible flood plain. Just a few inches can make a massive difference and you're seeing this with a lot of examples that have been given in the news. Where people were worried about their houses being flooded, they evacuated, oh my goodness, they all fled. Now they're starting to come back and everybody's looking and going wow, at least I didn't get flooded. And by the front porch or the garage is gone or whatever, that's gone so much, it's just wet. It's not a big deal really because at least the house is still there. But with regard to long term planning, you've got to remember everything you've got in the structure, especially in a retreat, is critical. There is no sense in wasting resources, wasting the materials. So be very careful with that and pay attention to what it is that is going on with regard to your design. Also, this has to do with another thing with regard to drainage. How many of you have ever looked at the actual layouts for a lot of defensive positions when they actually put trench work in or put any kind of defensive fighting positions in? You know, water sump and also drainage are automatically taken into consideration. You don't just dig a hole and dig a bunch of holes and just hope the stuff will kind of leave. There's a whole engineering process that you need to study. Now there is a manual called fortifications. I recommend that everybody get a copy of it because at the very least it teaches you basic drainage 101. Different ways to deal with problems because you want to keep your overhead cover. You also remember if you are putting in certain positions and you want them to be clandestine, you want to make sure that you have reasonable overhead cover and camouflage, preferably natural. Why? Well, the more grown in something looks, the less likely people are going to notice it. And the more it becomes part of the terrain, even from above, it's that much harder to identify. You've got to remember that there are certain things they're looking for with regard to thermal spiking with soil. If you dig a hole, you've got to remember to keep your top soil. And let's say that you put an elevated overhead cover on it, on that, say, fighting position. Well, first of all, what I want you to do is you bring your poncho or take a piece of VisiQueen with you and you sod out the upper surface area. And you lay it on the plastic or the poncho and you carry it or slide it away from the work area where you're going to be digging. But you map it out so it's exactly how you pulled it out as chunks of shovels full of dirt or whatever with the grass and the sod and the plant life. Why? Well, when they do the surveillance from the air, they actually register difference in the soil composition based upon radioactive registry. In other words, color signature, the color signatures you see are just identifiers. They paint things. So let's say I want to be able to see you a dug in position or a dug out position where you've just filled the hole in or covered the hole over with the dirt that came from deep onto the ground. When they do a survey, what's going to happen is the different soils give off different registering signatures. And what they will do is say color me red if it's this type of signature. And lo and behold, there will be little blips, dots, and red lines. And so eventually it would be easy to see if you're not careful exactly where certain positions are, even if you fill the dirt back in. Because remember, a lot of people have a tendency to just shovel everything in exactly, not exactly, but just however which way they want to. and the subsoil is less organic than the top soil. See how that works? The other top soil in the surrounding area where you dug the hole, it's going to be registering in one color. But the area where the subsoil was used to fill in the hole is going to register even when grass grows on it. It makes no difference. It's going to register as a different frequency. That's what's happening. So you have to think ahead. It's not hard. It ain't rocket scientists. It is for the spying part. But if the solutions are so simple, it is ridiculous. Another thing with regard to drainage is that let's say that you have a, I don't know how many of you were trained in the 50s, 60s, or 70s. But remember we have the pup tents. Now we have all kinds of other tents and or you have the pup tents available. Well first of all the troops were never trained fully on how to use the pup tent in the later days. And so the problem is they got all this cool equipment and they always wondered why this stuff never works right or this doesn't work or that doesn't work or this doesn't fit or that doesn't fit. It is purely a matter of having the working knowledge. And this really POs me no end. Because it's all sitting there, you just got to dig it out. Most people aren't going to make the effort to demonstrate. But let me give you a point. How many of you, when you set up your pup tent, ever did an irrigation ditch around the outside, an irrigation trench? OK, there's two. What it is actually, there's a number of different reasons for doing it. It actually helps keep the critters away from calling into the tent too, by the way. That's a small note, and not as likely, but it helps to a degree. But the drainage dump or the drainage little drainage ditch you cut with your e-tool around the outside is purely designed to give the water off the tent a place to go. If you don't do this, the water goes down the side of the tent and puddles wherever the low spots are. Well, chances are you've been packing down the grass and the earth where you put the tent in place. And so where you're laying typically tends to be the low spot in the terrain. OK? And that's not a good thing. So we need to re-engineer that a bit there. And remember that, again, this will also keep you from being overrun or over swept with water off other drainage points in the terrain around where your tent is. So you need to investigate this and look a little bit. But here's another thing. One of the reasons I tell everybody two ponchos per person. Each person can be carrying one shelter half. A shelter half is a minute of canvas because it is heavy. You will find out why they are heavy when you get into the cold winter months. It is really nice to have the canvas. However, there are different ages and different gauges. Two things to watch with shelter quarters. Forgive me, shelter halves. US shelter halves were originally buttoned together. In the Vietnam era, they switched to Korea. Korea is where they overlap. But Vietnam, the dominant variant was a snap system. Now the snap system is pretty fast, but again makes some noise. The button system is designed to be non-strategic using non-strategic materials. Easy to operate and very quiet to assemble. You see the idea of quiet being the key word here with noise discipline. So there's button or snap. If you're going to use shoulder halves, Check to make sure that both of your shelter halves are snaps or that both of your shelter halves are buttons. Now if they're buttons, you got a bit of a problem with the lower ground cloth. However, there was a whole system design built in to the shelter halves so that once you put the two of them together, you stamp them together, there are alternate male-female snaps that overlap each other. And then where one of this male on the other side is female, so you can actually either way when you snap them, they're going to come together. But there's another reason for the snaps that are on there, the lower ones. You actually can take a poncho and snap it into place as the ground cloth for inside the tent. Oh, did you notice that? Now did you also notice that your ponchos are a little oblong in design? It's rather interesting the way they're built. Now part of that's ergonomics to fit the human being, but the other part is you'll notice there are two grommets. that are at the halfway point where about the neck is, you know, the head slot for your poncho. Those grommets line up with the length dimension of the standard, oh that's right, pup tent. So there's your dew cloth that goes over the shelter halves. If you take two American ponchos and two of the shelter halves along with six poles Let's see, seven, eight stakes, two ropes. You have everything you need to put an awfully nice field shelter together. And that's what it's for. Now, you may not have to carry it. You may decide to actually just put these things together in kits, and you dump them in certain spots when the time comes and assemble them. What's cool is that they're actually pretty nice all year round shelters. Now with the canvas, little trick there, you can go and get your Scotchgard, but there are many other materials that are canvas sealers. They're designed to properly develop the oil cloth. That is the effect that canvas is supposed to create. And what this will do with some of these new chemicals that have been developed is allow you to actually permeate the material so it's completely water repellent. It's out there. You just got to look around and if all else fails go to a boot store or to a clothing shop or go to some of the sporting goods shops and they will have the material on the shelf that you treat the canvas with. The material is also used for treating duck material type say carhartt type coats for field use. and any number of other missions, but will work just fine for that canvas that makes up those brand new slash 30 and 40 year old pup tents that everybody's been running into that have been in excellent condition. We need more of those in the field. We do use them on a regular basis. Another quick point on that. A lot of people have watched some of the training videos and somebody made the comment, those pup tents are kind of out in the open. The reason the pup tents are in the foreground or actually where they are, if you'll notice, that was one of several tack lanes. What we do is we teach our people how to assemble the different components in many different ways. In other words, you can actually use the shelter halves as position covers. Most people know that, but there are different ways to use them. Another thing, did you know or were you taught when you were in the military that you can assemble the pup tent as a one-man tent? In other words, if you have one half of a shelter half, you can set it up as an individual tent for your personal needs. Were you ever shown that in the military? No, probably not. Ain't that a surprise? No, no it's not. Sorry guys, just one of those things. Now again, this is what we do, or what we have done in the past, and you'll see bits and pieces of that in many of the training videos. You see some of the medical instruction going on in the YouTube videos that we've put out. If you pay attention, you'll notice that there are different work stations. There are different work points. These are classroom tack lanes. This is what basically the guys in Oklahoma and the guys way out there in Arizona have most recently been doing. We've been doing this for a long, long time. And so you will see many variations on this in many different videos at different times over the years. You've seen them already. Some of the stuff is incorporated in the equipping or the NBC tapes. or the night vision tapes. If you pay attention, you get a lot of other information there if you know what you're looking at. And again, sometimes we do have to explain. Anyway, point is drainage. Right now down in Florida, well, high ground is not that readily available. So you're going to have to look at elevating. Another idea here for everyone listening, and I know we're getting close to the bottom of the hour, by the way. Let me double check here to make sure I can see that right. Well, as a matter of fact, I'm probably going to hear the music in my ear in a minute. Now a few more minutes I should say. No, in a minute, as a matter of fact, like right now. But one of the other things, there are tropical hammocks that actually are both a hammock, a mosquito bar, and they have a shelter roof. Now, if you were down there in Florida right now and you had to move through that kind of disaster area, would you want to put your tent on the ground? Or perhaps would it be wiser to put your shelter between two trees three, four, or five feet off the ground where you're secure from the water and other hazards? Now, this doesn't mean you're going to put your tent or your hammock over a water course. But the idea is that you set your position up so that it's on whatever ground you can find is dry. But you have to assume that conditions may change even as you are resting. We don't want to have to soak or wring everything out. We want to be able to use it and continue to use it effectively with a minimal amount of maintenance so we can focus our calories and resources on getting them down the road out of the disaster area. That's right. I don't want to stick around for there very long. Well, we're probably going to hear the music, I would assume, pretty close to the bottom of the hour. I know I'm being a little patient here, but I know that our engineer is busy on occasion with other things. And with the situation developing the way it is down there, we can anticipate, as we've already seen, they've tried to do the smiley face with the, oh yes, the locals with the swamp or bog trucks going in and helping the people to go back in and get their medicine or leave or whatever, you know, come and go, well, now to a degree I'm sure that they're listening. to what it is we've said about this situation because we already know what happened in Iowa and we're just waiting for them to try and screw Grandma and Grandpa down there in Florida the exact same way. So for all of you that are listening down there, provided you're not underwater, provided you haven't lost your electricity, we would remind you that if you're going to evacuate from that particular situation, you take everything with you that you can. Evacuate your personal property, conceal your arms so they cannot be seen, and take your weapons and ammunition off-site. Now, a lot of people, friends and allies that we've known for many years, have virtually left Florida completely and moved up into the Georgia district, the state of Georgia, because that way they didn't have to worry about being in the low ones or in the low ground where You have to worry about wearing waders to step out the front door. That is a critical issue. The other thing is while they might get hit with storms in Georgia, usually they are pretty well dissipated by the time they get inland that far. So that is a consideration. One of the options is to move right out of the area of crisis so that you don't become part of those lines and lines and lines of people who are waiting to evacuate burning up fuel sitting on the expressway. waiting for somebody to move one whole car length forward in the next two hours. Hey, that doesn't sound like fun. Not at all. Well anyway, again, we might hear the music. We're at about 32 minutes, 33 minutes after by the atomic clock. This is the Intel report. We are on Liberty Street Radio. OK, we'll be back in about two minutes here on LTR. I saw a flag, she was flying low, and nothing kinda said. We got freedom, we got love. Fathers and our brothers before, now the children are fighting this war. We got freedom, we got love. We have 27 minutes or so of broadcast time here before the weekend. I want to remind everybody that we have got a lot of work to do, but that doesn't mean that we are going to cut corners when you get out in the field. I know that we've got the Virginia militia that will be in meeting for the rest of this weekend until Sunday night. They are taking care of and dealing with what they might be done before Sunday night, but they are going to be busy. through the weekend meeting to determine what are the direction they are taking with regard to certain components of the statewide militia organization, the way it is set up. They have done an excellent job of putting the troops together. I want to say thank you to the Colonel and also to, well actually, Colonel's and Lieutenant Colonel involved with staff and command and control. They did a fine job. more than a handful of people involved in that and also in transportation. I appreciate the help there. A number of things happening with regard to state organizations. A lot of people are sensing the urgency. There are states where people are saying, well it says we can't have a militia. You know what, do you think that stopped the founding fathers at all? Do you think that when the crown said, oh you can't do that, they said, yeah, okay, yeah, fine, kiss my hind end. And they kept doing what they were supposed to do. But you have to organize at the local and individual level. Individual and teams, guys. Common sense. You've got people who are like-minded. There are other people out there who start working on that. The building blocks, the individual, the fire team and the squad, would get the job done. Many other states, including West Virginia, are in high gear. In fact, I'll be corresponding with a number of people there shortly. The Carolinas, the Dakotas. Also, of course, Montana is seeing a major surge again too, not a surprise, so they are in their third wave on this. Even Wyoming, which is really, Wyoming is not a big state, people make a big mistake. Wyoming is a big state, yeah, with a very small population. Same with Nebraska, although Nebraska does have a few bigger cities in it, but those two states are sparsely populated by comparison to most of the others. They do have a lot of people, there are many people listening right now from both Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa. These states have seen firsthand some of this new allure junk as it was engineered, guys, and as it has taken place. When you are organizing, again, focus on the individual, the fire team, and the squad. Build those three components up. The two primaries, obviously, or the two formations, Literally, are the five-man fire team and ten-man squad. The individual, of course, is the third and key component to all because that's the block. That's the individual brick that makes up the individual elements of the walls that become the formation, the components of the house, so to speak. There's a lot more to it. One of the things that we're working on right now is the series of PMs. The next one is going to be out very shortly, but it's because of Something that we experienced here in the last two or three exercises. And so basic rifle marksmanship trainer's guide is going to be out very shortly here. It is going to be PM29. So for anybody out there listening, PM2908. That's PM2908-08. And this will be both the I and T designation. So, this particular manual, I will let you know Monday, but this is a warning that this will probably be ready and out of the printers tomorrow if everything goes well. And Monday we're going to announce it. If any of you are interested in both teaching and learning more, it's not a very big book, doesn't have to be, but it's basic rifle marksmanship. It's how to understand the physics of the process. Now, the other manuals that we've done do cover that to a degree. In each one of them, we make a point of overlapping and reinforcing data. Why do we do that? Reinforce, repeat, reinforce, repeat, reinforce, repeat, reinforce, repeat. By doing this, and you're seeing it more than one text, obviously it's going to be perceived that it is an important issue. So you will see this with many of the different manuals that there are one or two things. or three or four items, depending on what subject it is, that are overlapped and constantly reinforced. Now again, with regard to rifle marksmanship, we are looking at recreating marksmen. We're not spraying and praying. We're not firing from the hip. That's not how it works, guys. The idea is that they put sights on the rifles. Properly trained, you are the best battlefield computer on the planet that every computer is trying to mimic. If your mind masters your body and you properly condition yourself, it becomes automatic response. This is critical when it comes to snap decisions. Certain things are simply in place, in motion, ready to create the end result, which is for you to make a first point hit before the bad guys do. Also to do it at the greatest range possible. And I know all the arguments. I guess I'd have to put it this way though. Let's say that you take the best weapon that you have, range-wise. And you incorporate, say, a captured piece of thermal or even most sophisticated infrared or most sophisticated starlight that you have available that we can possibly grab. Wouldn't you rather, since you can probably see the little green orb or the little hot orb as it's moving, Wouldn't you rather hit it at maximum range so that they really have to scratch their head and wonder where the bullet came from? Now another thing about that is remember base of fire with regard to fire and maneuver. The sniper slash the marksman is the squad leader's on-hand artillery. In other words, you can call or dial up for support. You do have the M203 by the way, and that is an indirect fire weapon. One of the advantages of snipers or main battle riflemen overlapping with the light rifle or carbine category of weapons is that you guys can place your riflemen so that they overlap and take advantage of the range needed but they can also cover, for instance, a withdrawal. Oh, that's right. In other words, if you properly configure your base of fire weapons, especially heavy battle rifles, they can be used to reach the exact same range of, say, contact with the forward elements using lighter weapons. And when they wish to withdraw from the contact, Consider that those 30 calibers, no matter what they are, in 300 Win Mag, 30 out of 6, 308, 7.62x54, 8mm Mauser, 303 British, all of those are hitting as hard or harder at twice and three times the distance of the M16 or the AK round. What's the advantage? Well, number one, we have an umbrella of defense fire that the friendlies can retreat under. And consider this, you have greater or superior penetration with all of those MBR calibers at closer ranges. The most important aspect of this is even if you have equal penetration, guys, how much more energy are you exerting against the soft, chewy target when you hit it? Whatever it's hiding behind. Or whatever it's carrying and wearing. See how that works? So the technology can be engineered by the thinking man. Well, are you an animal or are you a thinking man? Obviously, we don't consider you an animal. In fact, we believe we can transfer this information all on to the people and it will stick. Mike with his teams that were down there this last weekend in Arizona performed admirably. In fact, it was a classic example of where the instructor's words and his ideas were passed on to the student and they successfully were able to communicate, relay, and retain the information. You see how that works? This is critical to overall operations. So anyway, we're building up the material and the information, the database. We're not reinventing the wheel. There's no need to do that. We have the database at our disposal. We're picking and choosing and selecting what we need as we need it. The idea is to get it in print as quickly as possible, get it out to you people, and then you guys can make copies as needed. But I think, so far, the quality of the work has been very good. Forgive us if there is a typo here and there. I know I found one after how many rereads? With the SOP manual. I found at least one typo error. Forgive me. But I'm looking at it and it's like, I think you'll figure it out. So again, if that happens, hey, you can write this and let us know. And you're not going to hear me complain about that, by the way. I'm going to put this out in the air right now. If somebody sees something that needs to be corrected, in other words, is a typo error a mistake or you might think there is a mistake in structure, however, remember there may be a reason for it being done the way it is. However, do not hesitate to make a comment. Nobody is going to ridicule you. Nobody is going to comment and attack you. This is not grade school. Our job as adults is to cooperate with each other. I see this as the biggest problem in general people with regard to some of the nonsense that has been going on most recently, I mean recently, recently, with regard to communications. We do not have all the time in the world. The situation is getting bad. Since it is getting bad, anybody who is trying to waste our time inside actions or infighting intentionally in creating conflict, you have to ask questions of. Because all the people right now that are voices in the Patriot Movement know the seriousness of what's going on. So they can't claim ignorance. Oh, I didn't know it was so bad. Just a reverse. Time is of the essence. So I ask that all of you take the time. Again, I would love to have, by the way, and don't hesitate here, if you would like to call into the program. or if you would like to write with regard to a critique of the manuals that have been sent out or the books that you have read that I have sent out, please do so. Now I promised I would do this and I am going to have to kind of shotgun it because I have been so buried, but there is a standard form that I came up with that is a question piece for those of you who have been reading the books. Each book has a question sheet and it is not designed to see if you are goofy or anything, it is to see how you perceive what I wrote, what I as the author wrote. This has to do with the battle for the Republic series or with the Dagger War. The Dagger War is possibly coming out in public print They wanted to use it for the Virginia effort and so that is maybe held up for a bit because the present printings are going to now go to the Virginia militia for each of their respective counties. However, and that's 12 books times however many copies they need. That is being taken care of by our printer from out west, our ally who has his own machines. This man has been doing printing for the Patriot effort for decades now. He has produced works, some of which you have seen but don't realize are his as far as his final product, the book itself. So more on that in another program. However, when you are training, there is something else that I have seen. I know that Mike is very good with this and I know you get frustrated, especially since One of the things you have to remember when you are a militia guy is that there is nobody drafted here. Nobody can say, oh man, they forced me here. If you are there on the training site, I ask two things. Number one, you respect the instructors and you act accordingly in a military demeanor, in a military fashion. That is the first most important. Two is for the instructors, the idea is to be courteous and to stress the fact that we need to cooperate. In other words, there is no we are not lording over anybody. Try to make it fun, try to make it interesting. God knows that talking about things like latrine, digging a latrine or setting up water purification is not exactly, oh boy this is my first choice to sit in on this weekend. But they are critical to laying the foundation for a victory. Remember that thing in the War of the Worlds written by the bad guys, written by H.G. Wells? Germs, little fellas. Germs, just like the microbes in a bucket. That's how they were looking at us. But remember, that's also what did them in. Did the motions in. Them germs. Well, I'll tell you what. When you're out in the field, guys, and all of you are deciding that you can pretty well drop your pants and go wherever you want to, it doesn't take long before the area that you're operating in It smells pretty much like the toilet you were treating it. That's not a good thing, is it? That's not a happy camper situation. And so because of that, I would remind you all that you're going to have to know about personal hygiene in the field. You're going to have to know about general health care in the field. And again, water treatment, also sanitation. All the things that are not real popular, but on the other hand, it's why cities can operate for a period of time, all lumped in one with people lumped in one place. And we're looking at moving human beings, a lot of soldiers, into areas where they're going to have to operate for an extended period of time in close quarters. So we have to have discipline with that regard for two reasons. We're going to be using the local water supply. We really don't want to worry about the enemy being able to smell their way to your position. Actually, to be quite honest, I have done this in reconnaissance several times because when you get 120 men that have been out in the woods for days and days and days on end and weeks, you know what? You can pretty well identify them by the smell if you are in the right position and the wind is correct. The other thing is snoring of course. I will mention that. Not so bad when you have one person. That's pretty noisy and the sound travels a great distance. Imagine if you have 10, 20, 30, or 40 or 50 men out of 150 and they're all, oh that's 50 stereo systems running simultaneously. Now again, this gets back to the classroom experience. By what Mike said and through the example of other people who responded, to us talking about this on the air. The important thing is that the instructors obviously did a good job because what they did transferred to their students stuck. In a performance test, they actually performed as expected, as they were taught, as they should have, I won't say as expected, but as they were taught. This is a good thing. Now all of you, if you're listening and you're way out west or you're over in Oklahoma, you kind of missed out guys. And we can't afford to see that. We're looking at a Texas exercise. And we're also looking at a situation where we might even have another one in Oklahoma you never know. It might be a decision by the proposed instructors if they can participate. And again, 43rd Regimental Combat Team Colonial Marines are one of the groups that's going to be participating down in Texas. Hopefully they'll be able to pitch in and offer more manpower to assist the instructors so that they can get the job done. Ah, but the other half, there's a lot of you down in Texas. and a lot of you in Oklahoma and some of you that are within reasonable driving distance in other locations that are going to have to look and decide whether or not you're going to put your money where your mouth is guys. I should say really put your body where your mouth is because we're going to end up having to get into the field. We're going to have to train accordingly. We're going to have to integrate down the road and work with many, many, many other people. The other thing is we're not just training you for the sake of training you as a soldier, as a combatant. We're training you to be supplemental cadre. The point is that progressively you are supposed to be the teacher. Mark isn't going to be here forever. Mike isn't going to be here forever. Alpha Omega isn't going to be here forever. When the time comes, we're hopefully training the next team that's coming up behind us that's going to take the torch, carry the flag. Be there on the line. When we fall or when we pass away, somebody is going to have to take our place. My sons have that job. Many of our friends have that job. All of them working together are going to be able to do just exactly that. They are going to do it in a very knowledgeable way. They perform well now. They are going to be even greater masters in the trade when the time comes. But it is just a matter of us all working together. We have got some opportunities here by the way real quick. I didn't know if Dave was there in the chat room tonight. He might come up, but we're looking almost at the top of the hour. On the 27th and 28th of September, we're going to have a Hautari training exercise field operation involving a number of different phases of training. If you would like to find out more, you go to Hautari.com. And of course, if you want to participate, you need to get an RSVP. You will send an email to hutari at yahoo.com. That's hutari at yahoo.com. You want to find out more? Get in communications with them that way. Find out what it is you're going to need. Everybody's going to need a gas mask. You are going to need your personal weapon. You must have your web gear squared away. We're looking at September. It's getting colder in Michigan already. You all better be squared away. Now you don't have to have brand new and guess what? There's yard sales going on this weekend. Go out there and check those yard sales people. Check to see what all is going on and you never know what you might run into out there. Could be any number of things. But remember that you can overlap for the time being. If you don't have a whole lot of money, I understand that. We all know that. None of us are in great shape right now. So we're going to have to make do with what we got, improvise, adapt and overcome. However, your web gear, your personal weapon, your magazines, your ammunition must be squared away and you need a viable gas mask. That is a mandatory for this exercise. There are specific phases. We will have some available. They are going to be purchasable. That's fine. There will be another direction to go. But don't count on that. Take care of it before. While I hear the music, we are at the top of the hour. It is the end of the regular week here for the intel report. Friday has come so soon. Thank you again to our brothers and sisters in Virginia. Ooh-ah! Job, men and ladies. We are going to be prepared. We are going to work together. God bless the republic. Just as we are. We shall prevail. The empire is on the run. We're out of mar and mar. That's it guys. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for listening. We all get organized, we all get squared away. We'll be back in a minute to help you out some more. Thank you guys.
