@all Who all will be available for the banner drop this Saturday in KC?

Thought I would be but, I can’t. Strapped for cash and can’t run for a bit still.

I can attend New Year's as long as I can carpool with @Mark MO

Banner drop I'm available for @Mark MO

Patrick remember when you commit to this you HAVE to show up. No ghosting, no excuses, you need to be there alright?

I agree.

Randy, Mark, Leo, and Patrick then for new year's so far. If we get more I'll have to find an alternative location I think, but don't let that be anyone's reason not to come

@Mark MO What time did you have in mind?

Meet up at 10, drop at 12

@Mark MO 12 pm?

12 pm is the most confusing time does that mean day or night

I'm assuming we're doing it during the day

I'd drop a banner at noon time and not midnight. It's effectiveness drops significantly - plan to drop the banner on a busy road close to rush hour for the best results. Nothing is worse than working hard on something and receiving little in return.

@Mark MO That works fine for me

@all IMPORTANT MEETING TONIGHT 8 PM
Attendence is mandatory. If you're not there we will have a discussion. For those who cannot attend inform me immediately.

With @Clarke MO

@Leo MO its only necessary to post a single photo in the #KCArea chat. In #activism is where you post 4 or more. Otherwise good work.

@ND - Carter MO that’s right. Fixed it. Thank you!

Yes, 12 mid day, sorry for the confusion.

Bring your gear, I'd like to get a photo with some smoke.

Servers full boys.

Try now.

I'm in, just general info. I'm listening via zach and can't see who all made it.

@Clarke MO are you coming?

I’m there.

I can't call Clarke

To the banner guys, bring your uniform for the drop. Meetup location to follow.

Designate roles @Mark MO if you have enough men. Camera, scout, and those handling the banner. Make sure camera man is going to do a fine job.

I'll do the camera work, Zach, Sean, and Patrick will do the drop. There will be very little traffic on this bridge so the need for a scout is negligible.

Meetup location:

11601 E US Hwy 40, Kansas City, MO 64133

10AM

Wish I could’ve been there.

@Mark MO Very based indeed

Great job! Glad to see everyone working together in the Western Missouri Region, I'm very proud of everyone new and experienced.

It really has been a long time coming to see the growth that's now appearing in your boundaries. We've just received another interviewee for tomorrow so be prepared for new faces. On the banner drop itself, well - this is the type of activism that turns a regional into a network. As time charges forward a leader will stand up and take local activism to new heights. As this happens I'll assist in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE in order to leave your leadership with an organized structure as strong as steel. Retaining members is key in this instance! Make friends amongst one another and pick up your brother when he is down regardless of his strength.. even the strongest of men will need support in our struggle. You must build one another up in body and mind, this is truly our natural culture.
A brotherhood untouched by those who want us eliminated - an indomitable in spirit is within each of you. Our goals will be accomplished!

New members here, I want you to know that my personal mission is the creation of a Mid-West collective. The introduction speech held at the start the Mid-West hike went over the current state of the Heartland and why we must save it. This idea boiled in my mind and was explained during the speech given for the audience in Michigan while camping the final night. It detailed the idea behind this collective and asked for the assistance of every man in attendance. Entirely focusing on each individual member to take this goal and make it his own and dedicate his time to this honorable cause. For each and every man reach out to others within the Mid-West for the purpose of building powerful connections amongst ourselves.

Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and our beloved Missouri are the states that make up the Heartland.
Reach out to those within the lands listed above and call them your brothers. They will understand if they don't already.

To the photographer:
The man farthest to the right should angle his body in the same direction as the others then spread his feet apart to make a type of "power stance" if you will. Camera man shout orders if someone looks out of line in a photograph. The second most important thing after safety is recording your actions. Greater your image the large you'll grow. We have an excessive amount of experience with this in #nw_12 and I'm willing to mentor whoever the future photographer is to be. @all

Quick note: Our compatriot @Kyle MO has recently had surgery. He's one of the hardest working men who's risked his life more than once for our cause. Let him know we're all waiting for his return and if he needs anything just to ask his brothers. Thank you.

might be late for the meeting, not sure yet

probably going to miss it entirely, I have an unavoidable obligation that is taking much longer to complete than it ought

I'll attend the meeting as I usually do, but I'll be a little busy so mostly just listening. If it is a must that I speak, I can step out for a second. This will be typical for Sunday nights until I find a better job, which I am working on currently

@all Meeting will be pushed an hour backwards to 8:00 where we'll be able to get reverified on mumble then our meeting will begin. Expect a shorter talk tonight considering our last meeting was just a few days ago.

Ok, i was wondering why i couldn't connect.

@Vincent TX is online right now everyone. Follow the new mumble instructions and message him. If enough of us get online we can begin.

where do we find the new mumble instructions? it says to look via the victory site, is it in general conduct?

No it's under mumble instructions as always.

Under HOME you'll see "Mumble Instructions"

oh, thank you

Says invalid server password for me.

Nevermind lol

I can't screenshot it, but now I have another issue. When moving to meeting room #1 it says "permission denied."

you need to message Vincent Texas, than loo for the check next to your name.

@Leo MO goal for the week, come to the gym with @Clarke MO 👌🏻

Let’s do it! I could walk there too worst case

your foots doing better than?

Much better!

shin splints hurt off/on but I’ll just ice it

alright good.

Should i take it nobody in Springfield has a working vehicle at the moment so asking you guys to go to Columbia Saturday would be an issue?

Sadly. I hope mine will be up and running this upcoming week but, that may be delayed

@Leo MO what's wrong with the car

I'm hoping to find a vehicle with low payments here soon. Might go for the 5 year term. I'll be living in it temporarily to catch up on other debts. Might stay an extra month at my place to get everything packed up. But within two months I should be mobile and stickering like an absolute beast again.

I'm hoping to set it up so you can't tell I'm living in it. Does anyone know ideal places to park and sleep?

Walmart doesn't mind people sleeping in there parking lots, plus travel stops like loves and flying J, rest areas off the highway.

But living out of a car is a bad idea, especially in the winter. I can let you stay with me up in KC, I don't want you freezing to death on us. We can find you a job up hear.

I'll let you know within the week if I decide to do that. If I do, I'll stay up there until the spring if that doesn't trouble you. I'm a good roommate

I'd like to move back to springfield area asap

I like it and have friends and family around here, plus I don't wanna leave Leo hanging, least not for too long.

Could also come over here to Neodesha KS

My job is always hiring $15 an hour at least

As long as you can pass a drug test

@Leo MO

Sorry

@Clarke MO

See I don't want to make a commitment to stay out there long term, that's the only issue. A job would tie me down a little too much

Fair enough

If I absolutely must I would though.

If you're gonna try to sleep in your car, I would insulate it as well as I could, hotbox it up to like 85 degrees, and then sleep until you wake up cold, repeat

You should be able to get at least 2 hours of sleep at a time this way. More with a good bundle of blankets or sleeping bag

I live in a camper and can barely keep this thing worm, a car will be next to impossible. (I have 2 inch foam on my windows)

I was thinking of the sleeping bag and blanket thing earlier. Get a mini heater for the cigarette lighter too to speed it up. If it wasn't winter sleeping in a car would be perfect. My relative won't let me sleep on his couch anymore cause last time I put up all my flags in his living room lmao

oh lord

your going to die

Does your cigarette lighter have continuous power

if it does he will just have a dead batery

I don't have one yet

That too

Yeah

I could leave it running with lights off, would probably be cheaper than utilities and rent but would be noisy

Don't leave it running all night

Do the hotbox thing I was saying if you must

Gas prices are going up, and running an engine to heat yourself is inefficient. would a heater buddy cause him to asphyxiate? maybe crack a window?

What heater buddy

What is

Actually, don't live out of your car. come live with one of us?

Well Mark, if I did, I'd be working at mickey Ds or something because I don't want to commit to a long term job.
