Much is made of the earth changes taking place on the Pacific Rim reflecting earth's very core while the Sun has become exceptionally active. Meteorologists mostly observing that annual weather patterns have become very extreme and unpredictable. New records are being set in many parts our old world. How exactly exceptional geological movements the weather cycles or the Sun cycles may be remains hard to say since man has tracked them centuries at most and they do have million year periods. There remains a mystical relationship between the social activities of man and the extreme activity of Nature. It is mankind's social activity that is exhibiting the great change from what has been the normal all the long centuries past. It is all mankind's social activity that is showing the most deviation with the most accelerated rate from what has been the past norm. Truly a typhoon of activity - and earth shaking events. And you are living at the center of the storm - in the middle of the Ring of Fire. Tween' East and Mid East- stands America. The earth shakes and all shall shake with it. America is presently the calm center - the one point of great desired stability peace and great prosperity - the desired refuge of millions as the world society rocks, rattles, and rolls about it. The calm center in the Ring of Fire - but when all erupts about it also the simultaneous focal point of those forces that will be unleashed. So sit upon the creeping earthquake fault - and do live upon the rumbling volcano- at the center of the unstable sea within this Ring of World fire as a world shifts its gears.

For those of you who don't know - it was back in 99' with 7 police vehicles 4 fire vehicles and 40 personnel. We called ourselves Waco North. Someone later sent me a government organizational suspect list that had been published and we had made the list. I stopped flying long ago. Even stopped auto border crossings a couple of years ago. Received intensive surveillance even before 9-11. Some may remember some of my exciting experiences about crossing with radiation detection equipment before then but even before 9-11 when I reached the inspection booth the guard would hold up the traffic and concentratedly study the screen for several minutes before letting us proceed. Pretty obvious. Although I have no idea what they were reading. So, during the blackout in the middle of when I was talking to my friend who is a consultant at a Major Nuclear Generating facility in the US - the phone SUDDENLY went dead as he explained some technical details to me - I thought - "Oh, oh! - I have been bugged and cut." Went down to the corner store - and yep - their phone was still on. Just the village phones were out. I figured I had gotten the village knocked off because the cut would not be on just my line but from the main green box or the rather the circuit from the central office to that main green box. (I used to be a central office telephone engineer with the largest manufacturer in the US.) Further checking found the phone on at the auto repairs garage - and so forth. Yep, I figured they had gotten me. Paranoia. My wife takes her finger and draws little circles up by her forehead when I tell the story. But anyway, it is a good story. However, I later learned that my daughter's phone and numbers of others farther away had gone out also. Before that - The Toronto Sun had called and interviewed me for about 20 minutes about how prepared for this we were. Yep, we were prepared. Sitting there with my battery powered radio - flushing the toilet with water from the stream - flashlights at the ready for nightfall - even sandwich in hand when he called. Yep, I told him, if it went on for days we had enough food supplies to feed the neighbors for a week or two if that should become critical. I was expecting it to last 3-4 days, given the experience of other major outages - the one in 1965, the Quebec Ice Storm a couple of years ago - and so forth. However, they did a marvelous job of getting it back up. I think that it was the result of all the Y2K preparedness and practice. I knew the extent of it because the moment it went out I yelled down to my wife - "What did you do now?" :) Then I checked the neighbors - who were also out checking outside. I always start out my story - "It will be a clear day - with blue skies - the sun will be shining - and the birds singing - but without any noise or anything - the power will suddenly go off." So- I started calling the circle. Yep, off at my barber shop 7 miles away. Yep, off at my daughter's 50 miles away. Yep, off at a friend's 100 miles away. Yep, off at the Christian Science Reading Room in Toronto. So, I called the operator in New York, and couldn't get through. My story always continues - and then word will drift in that New York has a problem. Next step was to call my daughter in Kansas. She didn't have the TV on but turned it onto the breaking news station and was able to tell me what was going on. Didn't take me much longer than all the military and the government to determine that it wasn't an attack. The government probably remained suspicious (paranoid) longer than I did. If it had been a real attack - then I probably wouldn't have gotten through to Kansas because of EMP and the phones and radio might not have worked at all. My wife just saying - first it was 9-11 and now it is also 4-11. (Four o'clock and 11 minutes - that started all this.) It was a nice wake-up call. I told my wife that we were stupid if we couldn't learn something from the experience. And we did. We made a list of ten items that we need to sharpen up on. Greatly prepared for the BIG one - but we need a smaller shelf for preliminaries or smaller events such as this one so that we don't have to immediately breakout the big supplies. Rather than bothering - we just did without. Did talk with TEAM members - about what steps to take if the situation dragged on. But, all in all, it was for us - just a nice little 22 hour interlude. Nothing really serious for anyone. Unless you were victim of the nearly 150 lootings or 50 robberies or dozens of gun incidents in Canada. (I have no statistics for the US). A boon for water bottling companies - and some others. A holiday for most. Like I said for the movie - "The Day After" - a walk in the park. Pleasant weather and all that. If it had been in the winter - and EMP with power out everywhere - plus panic - that would have been an ENTIRELY different story. So, if you were in the East - I hope that you enjoyed the event like we did - once I got past my paranoia. It was when the phone severance happened - not that it happened - that caused it. The world is full of weird coincidences.

Really confused and perplexed. The world didn't end when I planned and now under great financial pressure am having to return to the work world at my age! Because of a traumatic experience in my wife's purchasing a "new" car that wasn't e-tested I have decided to try the auto industry with a unique selling proposition for others who need inexpensive vehicles. Not to bother you with the details - but the bureaucracy hurdles against getting into the business have been immense. This newsletter isn't really about my personal challenges so now I will turn to my confusion in analyzing world affairs. As bad as are Beach's problems - Bush's are bigger. Conquered countries can be so unappreciative. Japan and Germany recovered nicely from their defeats - but they were already technologically advanced societies. Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the rest of the Moslem countries, in all these decades since the dawn of flight, have never designed, built or mass manufactured an airplane. Today some of them are getting together the means of making nukes along with some missiles for delivery to nearby neighbors (enemies). However, they are still far behind North Korea, in this regards. And that is one of Bush's problems. Now he wants to go after another part of his declared axis of evil in another part of the world and the troops are still tied down with the first foray. A year ago much of my talk was about the BIG buildup in preparation for Iraq. I kept reporting ships, ships, ships and all the aircraft carriers that were in the Gulf region. Now look at this news item: WASHINGTON (AP)--Dow Jones Newswires 09-05-03 1545ET- - 03 45 PM EDT 09-05-03 Defense officials speaking on condition of anonymity said Friday that the USS Nimitz, whose home port is San Diego, and its carrier strike group were headed east toward the Pacific, having operated in the Gulf since early April when major combat operations in Iraq were winding down. The Nimitz's departure marks the first time since 1997 that the Navy has had no carrier in the Gulf, whose strategic importance has made it a central focus of U.S. naval operations for decades. The Air Force also has adjusted its presence in the Gulf region The Air Force also ended its Turkey-based aerial patrols over northern Iraq The Marines, whose 1st Marine Expeditionary Force joined the Army's 3rd Infantry Division in toppling Baghdad in April, are rapidly shrinking their presence in Iraq and should be all but gone soon. ---------------- " first time since 1997 that the Navy has had no carrier in the Gulf" NO CARRIER IN THE GULF !!! One of two messages in that for Iran and Syria. The US is moving them out of harms way as it plans to drop a big one - (not likely with all the troops there) or it is moving off to a new front. Now, who do you think should be concerned about that? North Korea, maybe? If that wasn't enough to concern NK then look at this: By Eva Cahen CNSNews.com September 05, 2003 The United States along with France, Australia and Japan will participate in military exercises in the Western Pacific next week in simulations of what may become real interceptions. The exercise has been named "Pacific Protector." -------------- If you don't get the point - (and NK does) it is NK's ships that will be intercepted. I am not the only one that thinks this way. Look at the following. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tm...thkoreastandoff TOKYO, Sept. 5 Former President Jimmy Carter, who was credited with defusing the 1994 North Korean nuclear crisis, warned here today that the current standoff is the world's "greatest threat." This paranoid nation and the United States now are facing what I believe to be the greatest threat in the world to regional and global peace," Mr. Carter said. ---------------- I don't know - Jimmy. Paranoids also can have real enemies - and I do think that NK does have one. Admittedly NK is getting (or has gotten) missiles that can reach the US proper. (Whether or not they can yet carry a nuke is still problematical). However, if the US is about to go there - because of its "interests" it appears that its interests has no bounds. Japan is discussing intervention - and China has moved its troops up to that border. http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/inring.htm China's military is quietly building up troops on borders from North Korea to India by replacing tens of thousands of border police with regular army forces, a U.S. official said. About 150,000 Chinese military troops recently replaced People's Armed Police troops on China's border with North Korea, according to Hong Kong's Sing Tao newspaper. --------------- However, not everyone agrees. WASHINGTON (AFP) Sep 08, 2003 Powell said "we have to accept them at their word" and he added he does not view North Korea as the greatest threat to global peace. --------------- I am sure that you will feel that you can have complete confidence in the statements of the Secretary of State and that "we have to accept them (NK) at their word", as well as Powell's seeing how accurate the information was that we got from him prior to Gulf War II. Speaking of which - here is a neat little quote - from another source: That the rebuilding effort is failing is obvious to any honest observer — and that failure is leaving our military dangerously overextended. A Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report released on September 2nd predicted that the administration "may have to cut U.S. troops in Iraq by more than half to keep enough forces to face other threats," reported a Reuters summary. Even though the present force of roughly 150,000 troops is proving inadequate to maintain security in Iraq, the administration "would be able to sustain an occupation force of [only] 38,000 to 64,000 in Iraq long term," continued Reuters. --------------- Meanwhile - back in the Middle East- David Dolan states: I have never seen my Israeli friends more determined to see their country’s renowned military forces wipe out the Palestinian terrorist infrastructure. In a visit to the Old City on Wednesday, I also learned that many Palestinians seem just as determined to continue their jihad war against the Jewish State (a Palestinian opinion poll conducted after the deadly bus attack in Jerusalem last month showed that over 60% support such attacks). ------------- Yep, the Israelis have become really fed up with the terrorist attacks and as of this morning are discussing a "final solution" regarding Arafat. But on the other side of the coin - Hossein Shariat-Madari, editor of Kayhan, wrote that no power in the world has the right to tell the Islamic Republic how to defend itself and its citizens, a view echoed by Resalat editor Morteza Nabavi. These guys can be considered summary spokespersons for those who advocate International State Sovereignty and who are opposed to a NWO. -------------- Nope, those fellows just don't seem to be working things out - and neither does Pakistan and India, or North Korea and Japan, or China and Taiwan, or the US and the UN. And, Argentina defaulted on its IMF payment due on Tuesday. So, what does it all mean - in the face of the US presidential election that is still over a year away. Can the tail still wag the dog? I really don't know what to expect - except probably the unexpected. So is Ark Two still at Alert Level 1b? Nope, we have gone back to Level 1a. But we are still keeping up preparations. This week Ed came up from Michigan to get the power house batteries wired into the house. Bill and Bonnar got the generator off the truck and Ed tuned it up also. We also got a 100amp charger for the power house. John and his brother came over to help put the generator back on the truck and John scrubbed the truck roof with bleach, and neighbor Gord provided his long reach power saw for us to cut away the trees. Fred and his Dad showed up to help at this time so with Jean and myself we had (having to stop to count) 10 of us working away on it at one point. I bleach scrubbed the power house and we left it on over night - and washed it off the next morning. Next day put two coats of rubber paint on the power house and one on the storage truck. Maintenance of a gigantic survival system like we have - is always immense - and costly. Prepared. For forty years - and for what? The Lord knows.

When it comes to the benefits of technology - as the old saying goes: "You ain't seen nothin yet". In that regards I wish to share with you the most informative free science newsletter of which I am aware. Howard Rheingold, founding editor of "Hotwired", said in an interview, "I subscribe to only two newsletters; FUTUREdition is one of them." I actually get several for science and the one from MIT is also great but if you are going to only read one for science - read this one. You can go to: http://www.arlingtoninstitute.org/futuredition/index.html#SUBSCRIBE and subscribe for free. I am optimistic about not only mankind's technological future but also its long term social and spiritual future. However, I dread what mankind is doing in the immediate future in all three of these spheres. Every nation is developing more and more horrendous instruments of war. Every nation - advanced of backward - has real reason to fear what some other nation may discover and spring upon them. Science is as unethically bound as are the social systems that form the world's political structure. American policy may desire or advocate (and try to institute) regime change in numerous countries - but there are also many peoples in the world that would like to effect a regime change in the US. Americans are horrified at the idea of someone interfering with their political organization. Say China or someone contributing funds to a US political campaign - but have always shrugged at the role of the CIA in funding regimes throughout South America, Africa, and elsewhere in Third World Countries. US support of oppressive military powers within those countries has just gone with the territory - as well as has on occasion outright assassination. This is not to say that other nations do not follow the same policy. Indeed, quite the opposite - this is to say that other nations do follow the same policy - and that is the sad low level of attainment of mankind's social systems. The present degradation of the world's spiritual systems - in that they support and practice prejudice hatred of other cultures injustices to other cultures and often decreasing standards of morality in every sphere of economics entertainment education and interpersonal and social relationships - is so well known that I need not document it. Optimism and pessimism - appreciation and deprecation - anticipation and dread - such are the mixture of emotions that confront us at this juncture is the affairs of man. People often ask me if I am disappointed that it has not all blown up already. And truthfully, I am, because seeing it as being inevitable I would rather have had it to be in earlier days of my life when I had more energy to see my children and grandchildren through it. Now, I fear for their futures. Imminent - thought I - forty years ago. Imminent still - think I - but I cannot be any more convinced of the imminence now - than I was then. George and I have similar problems. Neither of us can predict or control the future. Potential daily disaster seems to be both my individual and the global threat. The US carriers stationed in the Gulf for Gulf War 2 have now been pulled out of the Gulf, because the US now has a much larger Super Carrier - that is much more stable, many, many times easier for pilots to land on and take off from - can handle a thousand times more aircraft than all the other carriers put together - and which is much easier to supply and never has to return to port for maintenance. It is called Iraq. It does require a very large crew, and the US may have considerable difficulty in continuously manning it. It has another problem in that it is not very well air conditioned. I often write in this newsletter about 'windows' for event potentials. The events are only potential - but nevertheless it is well to be aware of the windows. Let me mention a few now. First - some strange prophecies. I am hearing from numerous sources that Islam has long had a prophecy that (in our terms Armageddon) will occur when there are two eclipses during Ramadan. In all the history of Islam - such an astrological (I intentionally use the phrase astrological instead of astronomical) phenomena has never occurred. And yet - it will occur during the next 30 days of Ramadan which is just beginning. Another one: The Popular Polish Pope has been looking positively pensive and pooped of late although he just recently celebrated 25 years of poping. Long before he became pope - there was a saying that - the last pope would be Polish. Don't know what that meant but all the previous popes of the Catholic Church has been Italian - so that is curious. Our Palestinian pal also has a pasty pallor. These things may not be of world shaking significance but one never knows what may be the spark that ignites these tinderboxes. For the last several years it has now become customary for me to mention the weather window in the Middle East. Particularly, in Iraq. Weather there now is good. But four months will pass very quickly and it is going to get hot and heavy for the boys out back. When I was a kid - we didn't have air conditioning. Big heat wave came in Kansas and the temperature stayed above a hundred for several weeks. Couldn't sleep at night - and then I said I preferred winter because one could at least then control the temperature to get warm but in the summer there was no way to get cool at night so one could sleep. Long tours - lots of heat - no relief - I do declare it is going to be worse for these guys than it was for me when I was a year in the arctic away from my wife and family, and I remember how dreadful that was for all of us there and how I wished then that I was in the Atlanta Federal Pen because my wife in Atlanta could have at least visited me there. I really feel for the guys in Iraq. Bad for them. Bad for Bush. That window will overlap other windows. By the end of this month Iran will have had to make a response (no response would be a response) to the head of the International Atomic Energy Commission. To mix metaphores - there we are waiting for the other shoe to drop and the possibility that window is about to slam down on all our toes. A number of reports this week about the Israeli nuclear armed subs. Certainly old news to readers of this newsletter. While the subs are unquestionably becoming better trained technologically upgraded and more ship shape - they have been there for a couple of years. Some other windows. The economic window - rapidly accelerating US debt - exhaustion of unemployment benefits - upcoming political campaign shrillness - greatly accelerating Muslim extremism - Israeli intervention in Syria and or Iran. Who, how, where, what - impossible to say when we are looking at a stadium of rascals there is no telling where the next brawl will break out but we can almost be certain that it will. Pakistan and North Korea have openly announced their nuclear arms. Many people feel very certain that Iran, Syria, and others are making efforts in the same direction. Still others like Japan and Taiwan might like to be players also. There is no question but that the big boys (US, China, Russia) have lots and lots of terrible toys and are getting themselves even more prepared. As another tier there are also Britain, France and India, all getting ready to enter the fray. For awhile - at the rapid conclusion of the US invasion of Iraq inquiries about nuclear shelters had dropped off but in the last couple of weeks they have accelerated to an all time high. So, what next? I have no idea. Nor how soon. Train time is anytime. My only advice is - stay prepared.

The nearness and personalness of a threat determines its priority to us. Thus it is that a mosquito buzzing around our ear bothers us more than news that a train wreck has killed a hundred in India. Distance creates insulation. This is good - because in the human condition there are immense tragedies occurring every moment throughout the world. We get small and selected samplings of them through the media. In the news at this moment - fires destroying homes in California, a kidnapping in Toronto, miners trapped in Russia, US helicopter down in Iraq, an earthquake in China, Israeli terrorist retaliations, and others. Throughout the world at any given moment police and emergency crews are responding to violence and emergency wards are treating trauma. Not one tiny fraction of a percent will we hear about. Thank goodness. We merely sample such events - to know the nature of the world about us. We could become very depressed by the transience of this world. Death eventually comes to all of us and to all systems, no matter how cosmic. The stars themselves eventually, supernova, darken, or descend into black holes. Our response to all this is often to ignore it - to seek pleasure in the moment or to at least deal with the problems that are closest. With spiritual maturity we pass beyond our self absorption and try to deal with other's pain. The more mature mind develops a philosophical explanation as to the purpose of it all. Finds a Divine Destiny for the soul - or perhaps a deeper reality that categorizes pain and evil as illusions as are time, space and matter. Whatever the reality - how we categorize it probably says more about us than it does about the absolute reality. How we prioritize the threats about us defines our spiritual maturity. To completely ignore them is as infantile as the child in the bassinet. To complain only about those that immediately affect us is no more mature than the child in the crib. As we mature we become more and more concerned about the welfare of others. Still most emails that I receive are concerned about individual survival. Many newsletters that I receive are focused upon the needs of some special group. Many, indeed most, of the 'patriotic' newsletters that come to me - focus only on America's needs for security economic well being social justice. (Get us out of the UN now. Bomb the bastards. Let them rot in their own morass. etc. etc. etc.) The world does need more spiritual maturity. Just as when one is experiencing personal pain trauma it is very difficult to be empathetic to the needs of others so it may be that the masses emerged in the morass of daily economic survival the need for personal ego substantiation imposed upon them by the cultural milieu and the apparent coincidental events of this contingent world are therefore incapable of determining what is important - and what is not. Let us try to prioritize the threats that should concern us. Just as we live our lives in a balance between the macrocosm and the microcosm so do we need a balance in our perspective about the threats. It may well be true - that the sun is dying out (in millions of years) or that massive asteroids strike this planet (every hundreds of thousands of years or so) or that there are even other inter-relationships to the cosmos that determine the planets eventual destiny - however, in most paradigms these lack an immediacy such that they should require the immediate focus of our attention. And admittedly, if one is suffering traumatic pain either physically, socially, or emotionally - such that they are about to be evicted or fired from their job tomorrow or have essential services cut off or are having some major change in interpersonal relationships - they too will hardly be able to focus on the more universal threats. This does not mean that they won't be affected by the more general events - threats or catastrophes, it only means that they do not have the resources to prepare for them. So aside from the cosmic events about which we have no control and about which we probably should not be overly concerned - and the immediate events which may of necessity momentarily preoccupy us - what are the priority of threats that should concern us? People worry about robbers and kidnappers and strangers in the street but in actuality the greatest violent threat for anyone is probably riding in a car. Every disease and ailment doth seem to attack mankind - and most will eventually die from heart attack or stroke or cancer or some unavoidable ill. So other than buckling up your seat belt - not speeding - eating a reasonable diet and keeping a positive frame of mind there is not much you can do about it - because you are going to eventually die anyway. However, there are immense tragedies in the history of men and animals that take massive numbers of lives in very unpleasant ways and it is prudent where possible to avoid these also. One cannot prevent them - but they can minimize their effect. If one lives in a tornado area - then it is wise to have a shelter. In an earthquake, volcanic, or forest fire area it is wise to have a bug out kit. The greatest need, however, is to prepare for the greatest threat facing humanity and that is war. Specifically nuclear war. The memory of North Americans does not include their own land being decimated by war. This week I have received many, many more requests for free Survival CDs from Europe and Asia than I have received from North America, (probably in the last month or two put together although I have no idea how many our state TEAM Leaders send out). The response of most people is to do whatever everyone else is doing. To ignore the problem - if everyone else is ignoring the problem and to panic if others are panicking even if there is no real threat from terrorists that justifies buying up all the duct tape. How real are the threats? Well - in my estimation they are very real. The following are quotes from Russian President Vladimir Putin in an Oct 16th interview on Al Jazeera. Unfortunately, the links have disappeared and so far as I know they never appeared in the Western Media - but I have no reason to doubt their accuracy. "... the Defense Minister did in fact speak of the possibility of preventive strikes. ... we are against such a policy, but if it were to continue to be upheld in the practice of international affairs, then Russia would retain its right to act in exactly the same way." [The US called its invasion of Iraq - a preventive strike - may be considering one against N. Korea, and Israel is eyeing its neighbors.] "Concerning our heavy missiles, the SS-19, there was never any secret about the fact, that Russia possesses these rockets. These are today probably the most powerful missiles in the world. They are called heavy, because they can carry larger payloads into space, which means, they can carry many separable warheads. These are missiles, that can easily penetrate any system of anti-missile defense, that could be built in this decade." "...Russia possesses a significant quantity of such missiles, which were never operationally deployed. "...they are new, they have been in dry storage; and when now-operational missiles are retired from service, we are going to replace them by these new, heavy rockets." Bottom line is - Russia has greater capacity to strike North America than it has ever had at any time in its history. Here is a different missile story from just this week. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20031015/wl_sthasia_afp/u s_pakistan_missiles_031015053219 "The United States preached restraint in South Asia, after Pakistan test-fired its third nuclear-capable missile in 11 days." And still another, this one from Reuters on Oct 25th. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20031025/wl_nm/korea_north _missile_dc_3 TOKYO (Reuters) - North Korea may have test-fired a short-range missile into the Sea of Japan on Saturday for the third time in a week, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported. Now, I realize that none of this excites the average person in North America - but the latter excites people in S. Korea, Japan, Taiwan and even China. What excites people in the Pentagon, and in the Israeli Military are the reports that North Korea and Pakistan are selling their missiles and nuclear technology to Iran Saudi Arabia Syria. Saudi Arabia is not at all thrilled with the idea of Iran have nukes and missiles. There is less love between the Sunni Moslems of Arabia and the Shiite Moslems of Iran than there is between the Protestant and Catholic Christians in Ireland. None of those countries are about to let the other get one up on them. BUT, Israel is already there - with several methods of delivery including submarines. Now, the questions to ask yourself are: 1. Will Israel be concerned about its Moslem neighbors implementing nuclear armaments? 2. Could Israel which has previously used a pre-emptive policy use such a policy again? 3. If Israel were to use that pre-emptive policy to prevent such Moslem implementation what would be the response of Russia? 4. Can you see where this might be going? So, you may have more pressing problems about which to concern yourself. And what can you do about it anyway? Well, my advice has always been get out of the cities and to build a shelter. It has been my advice for over 40 years and if you had followed it that long ago what would it have gained you? You would be retiring in the country. Not a bad lifestyle - I can tell you :) There are other possible responses. Some are expecting a lift off the planet by space brothers. Others are expecting to be raptured. (Thousands have left my list with that expectation.) But for us sinners, who may have to hang around for this event - I recommend moving out of the cities and building a shelter.

Person after person is writing me with similar scenarios. The world is more and more choosing up sides. The Big Items to be watching right now. 1. The Quartet This is the name given to Russia's proposal that US UN Europe Russia sit down with Israel and the Palestinians to determine a peace plan that the Quartet is going to enforce. The US has said that it will go along with this although Israel is opposed to outside interference. UN will probably approve and we may end up seeing Peace Declared. 2. Iran has already said that they will go along with nuclear inspections. Just haven't said when. 3. US has sent message to North Korea that it will seek a combination of non-aggression guarantees from Japan and other countries on behalf of North Korea and North Korea has said it will consider the proposal. The three above items sound very good - unfortunately - those are just the words - the actions are very different. 1. Syria this week calling up reserve troops. 2. Israel this week calling up reserve troops. 3. The US this week calling up reserve troops. 4. China has recently called up reserve troops - ostensibly for "war games" - and some have speculated to put pressure on North Korea and Taiwan. 5. The US has moved troops back from the DMZ in Korea - to give a cushion for attack and response (possibly so the troops will be out of the way for tactical nuclear response). 6. This morning a report from Israel that Syrian troops are skirmishing with Israeli troops on the Syrian, Israeli, Lebanese border. No confirmation in US media. 7. In my last newsletter I detailed missile tests in the last ten days by N. Korea and Pakistan. 8. Increased arms purchases - by India from Israel - by Saudi Arabia from Pakistan - by Iran from Russia - by Israel from the US - by Taiwan from the US - by Pakistan from North Korea - by Syria from the French - by China from Russia - by several Mid-Eastern countries from the US have all made news in the last week. 9. Insurgent activities increasing in Iraq with input from Moslem fundamentalists from any country that they can get there from. Those are some of the things to watch. However, some things to not be particularly concerned about. 1. The bill in US Congressional Committee to draft ALL Americans (male and female) between the ages of 18 and 26. In the first place - if it passes - it would (IMHO) take too long to implement before the conflict takes place. Secondly, while draftees could take over some of the mundane work - help out in the kitchen, drive trucks, fill out paper work, etc., etc., etc., they cannot take the place of highly skilled technicians, pilots, electronics operation and repair, sophisticated weaponry, and the other facets of high tech war that composes the modern military. Mostly - they would be in the way, and would divert the energies of the experts in trying to train them. The trouble is - the experts are retiring. Too arduous duty assignments away from home for too long - and insufficient rewards for them to re-enlist. The US Senate last week gave the senators a $21,000 dollar raise and reduced (at Bush's request) military veteran benefits. The handwriting is on the wall. Understandable that solutions are being looked for, such as the proposed draft bill - but there are no solutions against a Vietnamese type of insurgency action. The US has been there and done that. Sort of like putting your hand on the stove - twice - because you couldn't believe it was really that hot! But not to worry - Bush announced this week that he is winning in Iraq. As a matter of fact - he announced a few weeks ago that he has already won in Iraq. I guess he just needs it to be confirmed by the US Supreme Court. 2. Second thing not to worry about. All those terrorist sleeper cells in North America. If they were there - you would have heard from them long before now. Lots of talk - in the past from Saddam's sons, and OBL - but that (talk) is the Moslem way. 3. While we may see lots of terrorist attacks in the Middle East - there will probably not be a major Israeli (with US permission) response until after Ramadan. As inconsistent as it may seem the Moslems celebrate their Holy Month by attacking - the US and Israel will respect it by not attacking. (Most likely). However, in about 30 days - Israel will be ready to go - Iran will have not shut down its nuclear program - Syria will not have reigned in Hizbollah - Hamas and the Quartet will not have made a peace agreement that satisfies Israel- North Korea will not have convinced the US that it is not going to build nukes- there will be even more agitation in Iraq - and Russia, China, India, Pakistan, France will not be satisfied with the role proposed by Bush for them in the NWO. Bottom line is - no matter what the diplomats are saying - things will not be calmer in thirty days - and there is that old Middle East weather window with the US troops getting tireder and tireder. Flying home 3,000 troops each week for R & R- does amount to 150,000 in a year but 2 or 3 weeks a year out of that hell just isn't enough. Things are really not getting better, no matter how much the stock market goes up or how glowing the reports that the economy is improving. For any who happen to think as I do - this just in from a Canadian Realtor: Build your dream home on top of this app 1400 sq foot completely solid cement basement- designed to withstand air attacks- (supposedly a nuclear shelter but I haven't seen the plans - although I have read a newspaper article about it. The owner died). fireplace -well- walls 12 inches thick cement!! situated on year round road with hydro and telephone - on a nice treed 12 acres of land- half mile from lake nippising- Lot size approx. 3000 x 165 - in nice area of homes- where can you buy this for 39,900.00!!! That would be about $30,000 US And another one - just as I was writing this. This one in Wyoming. But I don't know for how much. "I know of an underground facility with over 60,000 sqft designed to withstand a nuclear event. Private sale. Not listed." And for anyone wishing to move near Ark Two. A two story building - the bottom is a store front. About 75K US. Of course I don't make a nickel - off any of these. Just my usual encouragement to people. Get out of the cities. Build a shelter. But I have mentioned that before.

We have certainly seen some response along these lines - since the beginning of Ramadan. Whether the momentum will continue and climax at the end of Ramadan - we shall have to just wait and see. Probably what is being brought on in the long run is - Armageddon. Much noise now being made that the WMDs went from Iraq to Syria and that Syria is supplying insurgents into Iraq. Lots of speculation that Russia has stationed under Russian control nuke missiles in Iran and Syria. US carrier fleet now out of the Gulf Region, because against Russian missiles they make no sense. Think of the pictures of the Bikini tests. Anyway, US now has no need for them there with its new flat top called Iraq. Last week - landmark event with more US military now killed after the war - than during it and then today the single greatest toll with the Chinook. Fortunately, nice weather there now - but that will change. Russia's and China's biggest concern is - that US is about to develop a new weapon that will completely disrupt the balance of power. Numerous rumors about new laser weapons - and devices that employ a variety of fields associated with the electromagnetic spectrum. The converse is true of Pentagon concerns. American pride would always have one believe that all technological advances are made in America and the Russians and Chinese have stolen everything they have from the US. How can one miss that the Russians were the first to launch a satellite, put a man in space, put up a giant space lab, and that today when Americans go into space or return as they did this week it is on a Russian space craft. Even the Chinese had a man in space this last week and their announced plans are to build a base on the moon. The US has told them not to. Their response to the US was the diplomatic version of - "Go suck a lemon". Interesting note here about the California fires. The Russians claim (and have indeed demonstrated - elsewhere in the world) that they have planes that could have put it out. They offered to send two of them (had them on the runway, crewed and all ready to go) FREE of charge - (US only had to feed the crew and fuel the planes while here) but the literal reply was - "We don't want no blankety, blank commies over here." Reduces my sympathy for the Schwarzenegger Supporters. (This story was from Pravda - but sounds believable to me.) There is an old saying - that men have about women - "You can't live with them - and you can't live without them." The US is sort of that same way about the rest of the world. It can't live without it - for its oil, hundreds of products such as rare metals, bananas, and coffee - and the mass production of cheap labor from China and elsewhere. But still - it does not seem to be able to live with it either. Interesting observation from Stephen Lewis former leader of the Canadian New Democratic Party and Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations 1984 through 1988. He is now the U.N. Secretary-General's special envoy for AIDS in Africa. He said: "I don't deny that Iraqis are under stress and numbers of them are dying tragically. But I am forced to point out that more than 2 million Africans are dying of AIDS every year, and their poverty is vastly more wretched." (and it is a) "weird, discordant upset in the scales of justice" that the $33 billion pledged for Iraq over the next four years, including $20 billion from the United States, is more than 10 times the UNDP's annual funds of $2.8 billion for all underdeveloped countries. The amount is also nearly 10 times the pledges to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, which kill millions every year. Lots of speculation about why the US is in Iraq. The given reason was WMDs although many thought it was the oil - (which they aren't getting any - and won't because just one bullet will always disrupt the pipeline) - and now it is said that the purpose was to bring freedom and Justice to the Iraqi people and that Iran and Syria are next on the list of the Axis of Evil. In light of the above quote - I wonder how many really find that convincing. My own view - (and I suspect the way that the Russians, Chinese, Europeans, and others view it - is that Iraq was simply available and central to a Middle East position in the geopolitical struggle if not for US Imperialism then at least for the Elder Bush view of a US dominated NWO. (Which the Russians, Chinese, Europeans, and others are not going to let happen.) However, here are some Perles of unwisdom as of Monday, Oct. 20, 2003 and as voiced by Bush Pentagon adviser Richard Perle so you can take it as if the Burning Bush itself were speaking. Perle offered his analysis of the growing North Korean threat to Fox News’ Cal Thomas while in Israel. He said that unless China and other countries help the U.S. embargo North Korea, military force remains the only other option available. [The Chinese are meeting with NK this week - but vis-à-vis US actions in Iraq - where do you imagine China's sympathies lie?] Perle warned that that North Korea is a “serious problem” as the regime moves toward building a nuclear arsenal. He said with such an arsenal he had no doubt the cash-strapped communist regime would sell nuclear weapons to other rogue states or terrorist groups, which in turn would use the weapons against the United States. [Strangely, France this week said that it would "target rogue states" with its nuclear weapons. Coincidence?] Barring an embargo that cripples North Korea’s nuclear program, Perle said, “I don’t see how we can stop that nuclear momentum on their side; and it may be the only instrument left to us is force.” [What do you think maybe that means? What do you think that NK thinks that means? How do you think that might effect you?] Perle gave his take on the war on terror: Iraq: Perle said “tremendous progress” has been made and that the U.S.’s liberation remains a “worthy undertaking, one we can be proud of.” [Do you see this as a week of progress? Do you feel that in light of the analysis by Stephen Lewis that the US policy is really one to be all that proud of?] Iran: Perle said Iran should be next on the target list in the war on terror. [Do you see this as an "Uh oh!"? Do you think that the Iranians might see this as an "Uh oh!"? Do you think Perle just accidentally made these statements - or that they were intentionally made on behalf of the Bush administration? If you don't believe they were intentional - then you must believe - that people in high positions like this, can just go around speculating about wild ideas - and still keep their jobs.] He said the Iranian people are ready to rise up against the dictatorship, but “unfortunately we don’t seem to be helping them.” [That was also the expectation about Iraq - and some would believe that it is also true about NK. Do you feel that is really proving true?] Anyway, here we have it directly from the horse's mouth that the US is about ready to take on: Iran, Syria, North Korea, and whoever else is necessary. Do you think that Russia and China might think that they could be next in line - and that they are not going to standby and watch all that happen. Do you really feel that Russia and China are so technologically backwards that they can do nothing to prevent it? Do you feel that as more and more nuclear weapons are developed by more and more countries that the world is becoming safer and safer? While there was more shelter building in the 60s, during the Berlin Wall Crises, and the Cuban Missile Crises, and later the Falkland Island Crises, the Gulf War I and II Crises, excited more people - I feel that the most critical period is right now. This week the news is that the US economy is greatly improving. Peace talks are taking place in the UN and also between China and North Korea. Iran has until mid-November to implement the Atomic Energy advisories. The California fires are winding down - and in spite of terrorist attacks in Iraq and Israel the news says things are getting better and better. I can see how things 'might' hang on for another year until the 2004 elections - but should the economy bust - the heat get to the troops in Iraq - and Bush get bombed in the election - then do you think that the philosophical elements now in power will really turn it all back over to other political powers that they utterly detest? Bring it on - the man says - and I do think something is coming on - or coming down - as the saying is. One fourth of my newsletters got stopped last time as spam because I mentioned shelters that were available. Filters killed them because of the mention of key words in regards to real and property. The last time that happened I used the L word in regards to certain social mores of some women. You just have to watch what you say.

I don't have any other than the usual expectations but maybe there is a general consciousness developing much like that at the time of the Titanic sinking there were numerous people that had both private premonitions, dreams, and publicly expressed concerns. ACCEPTABLE LOSSES Another helicopter down today - as I write this. One must expect losses in every war. If the trend continues we may expect to see about 10 fatalities each day. (Many more casualties with people very seriously hurt in ways that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.) But still - with 10 each day we are talking about 3,500 a year (think WTC) and 35,000 in 10 years. Still nothing like Vietnam proportions. If in fact, for these costs in human suffering - Bush's goals of - stopping terrorism preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons bringing stability to the Middle East starting Moslem countries on the path to democracy establishing the roots of a NWO securing the dollar against the Euro assuring a continued supply of oil to the US then - the costs would certainly be worthwhile - as compared to what he sees as the alternative. Unfortunately, all that will not likely happen - because while he is desperately trying to do so - it is unlikely that he is going to win the minds and hearts of the Moslems. THIS WEEKS NEWS Iranian Mullahs have announced this week that WMDs (nuclear weapons) are ENTIRELY un-Islamic and that the US need have no fear of Iran developing them. I am sure that India would like for them to inform Pakistan of this fact (that nukes are un-Islamic) and I am sure that the Kurds wish Saddam had known that years ago before he gassed them. Nevertheless, Iran says to preserve its sovereignty and prestige that it may have to back away from its agreement to allow nuclear inspectors to go wherever they wish in Iran. Some see this as just a negotiating position. It may be the reports that the US is repositioning large numbers of aircraft to Europe and that the US Marines have been told that they will be returning to the Middle East - is also just a negotiating position. On the other hand - some curious calendar coincidences. The deadline date for Iranian compliance is November 20th. The 2nd eclipse of Ramadan in November 23rd. The date the US aircraft are supposed to be in position is about the same. Lots of statements around about how quickly Iran could have nukes and missiles capable of striking Israel. Both Israel and the US have stated pre-emptive policies that won't permit Iran to continue to develop nukes. No need to tell me - that I don't definitively know what is going to happen. But, if you do - then it must be by Divine Revelation of which it is going to be difficult to convince anyone else. Does Iran have nukes - or do they not? One would think that they would be EAGER to show that they don't - if they don't. Saddam WAS again co-operating with inspectors - Israel and the US don't permit inspections. South Africa got rid of its nukes, but North Korea got rid of the inspectors. Maybe there is a pattern there, as to who has nukes and who doesn't. Also, with news of Saudi Arabia making motions towards becoming a nuclear power (through agreements with North Korea and Pakistan) it seems questionable Iran would feel very comfortable with its neighbors no matter how un-Islamic they may say it to be. While I don't know how much it actually has to do with the phases of the moon - as long as there are large numbers of people who do think it does and who plan their actions around them - as Islamic terrorist groups are rumored to be doing both in Europe and the US - (the rumors could be psych-warfare from anywhere) then it is possible that the rest of November and the first part of December may be VERY interesting. Pentagon (and Rumsfield) have announced major troop rotations to Iraq (or at least the Middle East). I could write a book on the problems of logistics that are involved. For example - "All at once?" (The present tours of duty - all end in a relatively short time window). Do the troops travel (both ways) with their own tanks and equipment? (Equipment also needs repairing and restoration - but the more interesting question is - who is responsible for it - the guys and gals using it or someone else that you are relying on to look after your gear.) This subject goes on and on - and has many interesting implications regarding the calling up of reserves - activating the draft - and so forth. BUT there is one thought that I have heard no one express. The last time Bush did a major "troop rotation" he simply sent over the additional troops and didn't bring back the first bunch (there were a lot of aircraft carriers and other ships of the fleet involved at that time - plus many land based aircraft). He just kept them there for use in Gulf War II. I have no particular thoughts or knowledge on this - other than perhaps the timetables mentioned above. The NEXT Hundred Years While it is much easier to speak as a historian than as a prophet (and I am certainly not a prophet) still I think it is now easier to make some predictions about the next hundred years. I will explain why. Suppose that a hundred years ago - someone tried to predict the hundred years until now. Impossible. Airplanes, Missiles, Satellites, Nuclear Power, Television, Computers, all unknown or seemingly impossible dreams. Over ninety percent of the technology that makes modern life what it is today - was unthought of 150 years ago. Moreover, the rate of expansion of technology has been increasing - exponentially. Not just the amount - but the rate at which it appears. If the present trend were to continue we could expect greater change in the next 20 years than there has occurred in the last 50. For an old timer like me - to look back 50 years where my grandmothers house still had gas lights - and there was no television (where I lived) PCs ICBMs satellites most modern plastics and hundreds of items that children today now take for granted as a part of life - and then to think that it could change more than that in the next 20 years - is just astounding. But it won't. The big changes of the next 20 years will be sociological (and I hope spiritual) but there is going to be a technological setback. This is what makes it possible to predict life 100 years in the future. Technologically, we will be reliving much of the last hundred years - not that technological knowledge is going to fall that far backwards. It is the next twenty years that (IMHO) are going to be the most interesting. There are many paths that events may follow. Some would be more beneficial than others - but what will occur will be a mixed bag no matter. Power struggles will contend to establish a world order. To the degree that presently entrenched political monetary interests are able to shape events it will be a failure. To the degree that spiritual maturity prevails and that there is a recognition that justice (economic, political, social) must be universal - then it will be a success. Whatever is organized will need to be structured so that economic, political and social justice will develop progressively. There will still be those who have - and those who have not. This cannot be resolved by simply taking from those who have. It must be resolved so that those who have not have the opportunity and incentive to produce and obtain - and are not restricted from doing so by those who have. Those who do not have political and social maturity - cannot suddenly be given that either. One problem in the United Nations today is that a majority of the voting countries do not have a philosophy or sense of fair play, tolerance, and other attributes necessary to make a truly just political system work. Those nations who guide the future of the whole of mankind need to first demonstrate their ability to guide their own affairs. American monetarily influenced power politics is NOT a model that the world should seek to emulate. Neither are the failed communist models or the intolerant Islamic models that hold sway in much of the world. There are many people who await Divine Intervention and direct Divine rule - (Jesus sitting upon a throne or whatever) but the Divine Order has prescribed free will and mankind while provided with a Divine Blueprint must still itself build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The struggle will be long and arduous. Not just in the coming century - but for centuries to come. The long curve of progress will be steady, but there will be numerous momentary lapses and retrenchments. The major one about to occur imminently. Things are going to get much worse - before they get better. A major die-off of humanity is in the offing. Decades will pass before the present level of technology is recovered, or the present level of anything is achieved. The next World Olympics will see few new world records established. The measure of all events will be how it stands up to pre-catastrophe attainments. As "good as before the catastrophe" will be the standard to obtain - "better than what was done before the catastrophe" will be a goal very seldom achieved - for decades afterwards, in technology, science, medicine sports or production. There is little that won't be recoverable, but it will take a long time to master it all again. To slowly assemble, train and build up artists, musicians, athletes, scientists, engineers, technicians, surgeons, physicians, scholars, teachers, coaches, trainers, craftsmen, and expertise in every field. The bench marks, the models, the demonstrated goals - will all exist to establish the path so that social conditions permitting mankind will be able to retravel it once again. Hopefully, this time - without some of the mistakes of the past. However, if mankind fails to learn the futility of the methods of past - the false paths of jihad, terrorism, national sovereignty, exclusive privilege, then all it shall do is put it back together again like it presently is and be prepared to make the same mistake again with anarchic sovereign nations possessing the tools for nuclear holocaust. There are none that will be able to say - that I am wrong in my predictions - because of course I will not be around a hundred years from now to see how true they have become, unless they are right - those who expect to see the graves to literally open - and the dead return - in which case there will be a population problem like no one has imagined. But in truth - I expect a glorious future for the whole of mankind - which is simply (maybe not so simply) passing through the trials of adolescence. Eventually, a world government will be established. Probably centered in Jerusalem because only by making it a world metropolis open to all the nations, cultures, and religions of the world will it be possible to resolve that conflict there. World-wide communication in a universally shared language will eliminate illiteracy and much of the world's ignorance. Social and economic exchange will be facilitated by a world currency - and the world's resources will be devoted to peace rather than war. There will still be crime, disease, and death, sin and evil, as a result of the Divine Gift of free will - but much of the horrendous effect will be mollified, and life upon the planet can become better and better. All this depending upon mankind progressing in spiritual values - otherwise it will all come to naught - as sometimes I dread that it already has. Nevertheless, those who recognize the ideal - must continue to make every effort to obtain the ideal. We all eventually depart this life. Our individual attainment here is measured by how we have contributed to the collective attainment. Our individual spiritual growth is our contribution to the collective spiritual growth. The slogan (goal) of the Ark Two Community is: "To Build a Better World".

One being of the moon and the other being of the sun. While there have occasionally two eclipses occurred during a single month - it is often said there has never been such an occurrence during the month of Ramadan. The following source, however, seems to refute that claim. http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/melwood/368/eclramx.html The significance of the double eclipse has been greatly emphasized by certain Islamic groups. One being the Ahamadiyya's with whom I am quite conversant having visited many times their main mosque in North America. http://moonsighting.com/2eclipses.html Numerous Islamic web pages have articles on the subject. Some take note of the fact that while both eclipses will take place this month - indeed the first being this very evening - not both will be visible from Mecca. http://moonsighting.com/2eclipses.html I have searched, without avail, several versions of the Qu'ran, and resources on the Hadiths and I have not been able to find the actual prophecies. The following Islamic source may explain why. http://www.albalagh.net/qa/eclipse_ramadan_mahdi.shtml Nevertheless, there are many Islamic WebPages devoted to the subject and a search with Google will lead you to many discussions of the subject. Meanwhile, in turning my thought to this - there came to my memory Bible References and I have looked up the following quotes. Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. Revelation 6:12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Do not be concerned that the last verse is in the past tense because it was still being given as a prophecy of something that was to occur. In my own religion such prophecies have a spiritual meaning but I shall not expound upon those here. What is curious is that the two astronomical events will occur this month. Certainly not every double eclipse happens during Ramadan and certainly not every eclipse of the moon is a BLOOD Eclipse. How a blood eclipse occurs is interestingly and dramatically shown at the following NASA url. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/04nov_lunareclipse2.htm?list970626 If the skies are clear you may not wish to miss this event tonight Saturday, Nov. 08, 2003 (being 11/9 in some parts of the world). Eastern Time 06:32 p.m. Eclipse starts 08:06 p.m. Totality begins 08:31 p.m. Totality ends 10:04 p.m. Eclipse ends Central Time 05:32 p.m. Eclipse starts 07:06 p.m. Totality begins 07:31 p.m. Totality ends 09:04 p.m. Eclipse ends Mountain Time 04:32 p.m. Eclipse starts 06:06 p.m. Totality begins 06:31 p.m. Totality ends 08:04 p.m. Eclipse ends Pacific Time 03:32 p.m. Eclipse starts 05:06 p.m. Totality begins 05:31 p.m. Totality ends 07:04 p.m. Eclipse ends For those into astrology - this particular astronomic event is seen as particularly significant because it is reputed to be the beginning of the Harmonic Concordance. I am not going to delve into that but for those so inclined here is an url - http://www.harmonicconcordance.com/ For further elucidation let me leave you with a Hadith and quotes from a couple of versions of the Qu'ran. Volume 2, Book 18, Number 170: Narrated Abu Bakra: In the life-time of the Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) the sun eclipsed and he went out dragging his clothes till he reached the Mosque. The people gathered around him and he led them and offered two Rakat. When the sun (eclipse) cleared, he said, "The sun and the moon are two signs amongst the signs of Allah; they do not eclipse because of the death of someone, and so when an eclipse occurs, pray and invoke Allah till the eclipse is over." It happened that a son of the Prophet called Ibrahim died on that day and the people were talking about that (saying that the eclipse was caused by his death). And now the Qu'ran Sura 75 (The first version from Palmer - the second from Pickthall) Nay, but man wishes to be wicked henceforward! he asks, When is the resurrection day? But when the sight shall be dazed, and the moon be eclipsed, and the sun and the moon be together, and man shall say upon that day, 'Where is a place to flee to?' -nay, no refuge! and to thy Lord that day is the sure settlement: He will inform man on that day of what He has sent forward or delayed! ------------- 6 He asketh: When will be this Day of Resurrection ? 7 But when sight is confounded 8 And the moon is eclipsed 9 And sun and moon are united, 10 On that day man will cry: Whither to flee! 11 Alas! No refuge! 12 Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day. 13 On that day man is told the tale of that which he hath sent before and left behind. 14 Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself, 15 Although he tender his excuses. 16 Stir not thy tongue herewith to hasten it. 17 Lo! upon Us (resteth) the putting together thereof and the reading thereof. 18 And when We read it, follow thou the reading; 19 Then lo! upon Us (resteth) the explanation thereof. 20 Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now 21 And neglect the Hereafter. 22 That day will faces be resplendent, 23 Looking toward their Lord; 24 And that day will other faces be despondent, 25 Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them. 26 Nay, but when the life cometh up to the throat 27 And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now) ? 28 And he knoweth that it is the parting; 29 And agony is heaped on agony; 30 Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving. 31 For he neither trusted, nor prayed. 32 But he denied and flouted. 33 Then went he to his folk with glee. 34 Nearer unto thee and nearer, 35 Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).

Not just tides, but number of births, crimes, and other activities have well measured correlations to the phases of the moon. Maybe all this paranoia did have something to do with the two eclipses and the sunspots. It is obligatory when speaking of paranoia to repeat the well worn caveat that even paranoids can have real enemies. And certainly, there are enemies a many in this world. The current concern coagulates in very high places regarding terrorist threats. The last week saw very strong statements by the American and British equivalents of Homeland Security. There was also a strong statement by a retiring US general and a re-release of what was probably a bogus Al Qaeda announcement. With every calendar window these concerns have been with us for the last several years. Ramadan phases of the moon, Thanksgiving and major holidays, large public events, seasonal weather peaks, governmental terms of office, and dozens of others that could be listed. The skeptics, scoffers and skulkers, have always been able to subsequently point out with glee how Y2K, biological threat, Planet X, asteroid, nuclear holocaust and other fears have been unfulfilled. So far. What is the reality? Somewhere between Bush's "Mission Accomplished" accompanied by his sending more Marines to Iraq and the official Israeli announcement that it will personally take out the Iranian nuclear facilities if there isn't complete comprehensive and conclusive evidence that they have stood down from their nuclear weapons development. So how is the world doing at this Thanksgiving / Christmas season? Very well thank you, according to George. Never has a president ever had such a large pre-election campaign fund. The US economy, according to some statistics, is booming. (Keynesian theory might say it is the result of the gigantic amount of military spending). Feel good legislation is on the roll. Seniors (a large voting group) are about to get (literally) pharmaceutical relief. Bigger parades, bigger games, bigger shows in the feel good time coming up to the next election. Less that a year away and maybe the serious problems can be held off until after then. Terrible terrorist talk by the Islamists - as far as the US is concerned - should be seen now for what it is. Just talk. On all the many anniversaries such as 9/11 and many others they would have done SOMETHING if they could have. The big threats such as Taiwan / China and Pakistan / India North Korea/South Korea and even still bigger ones of cold war US, China, Russia have all gone on for so long now they seem to be now the status quo in a state of undisturbable equilibrium. So all seems well. Time for a little story. There was this burglar - one dark night broke into a screened porch and was jiggling with the door to get on into the house. A voice said: "God will get you." The burglar flashed his light all around the porch but saw no one, and decided he was just hearing things, and started working on the door again. The voice again said: "God will get you." "Who said that", said the burglar. "Jesus", said the voice. The burglar again flashed his light around the porch. In the corner he saw a parrot cage. "Did you say that?", the burglar asked. "Yes", said the parrot. "What kind of people would name their parrot Jesus?", the burglar asked. "The same kind of people who would name their Rottweiler, 'God'", replied the parrot. The humor of all this is that many people are more afraid of God spelled backwards than of God. Three little news items on my desktop this morning. 1. Seems that a drag queen played the role of Mrs. Claus in the Macy's Santa Claus parade this year - what the news item referred to as a "revered event". 2. FCC says it is now okay to use the F-word in broadcast TV. 3. Sgt. Scott Robinson of the Louisiana National Guard was especially thankful to be make it back in Houma, La., for Thanksgiving: He arrived from duty in Iraq on Tuesday, giving him two days before the holiday to spend with his wife of less than a year. This last little item reminded me of a Bible scripture- Deuteronomy 24:5 When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. That of course has no significance to a country that no longer hardly acknowledges the ten commandments. There has been not only separation of church and state - but also of church and God. I am not suggesting that governments should rigorously enforce religious doctrines such as the wearing of the burkah, but I do feel that America has drifted far too away from morality as demonstrated by the language on TV. Profanity (in violation of the Third Commandment) and obscenity have become the fare of the day. The name of the Lord is repeatedly used in vain both in broadcast TV and in general public conversation. Most people could not today even list the ten commandments which I had to memorize as a child. For those who don't know them here is a brief synopsis of Exodus 20:3-17. 1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image... 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work ... 5. Honour thy father and thy mother... 6. Thou shalt not kill. 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 8. Thou shalt not steal. 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness ... 10. Thou shalt not covet ... Whatever America is reverencing in its celebrations today - it is not the Lord. Obscenity is a whole other matter and people are so far from righteousness that I won't even bother going into the differences between profanity and obscenity. It used to be that a soldier had to get the permission of his commanding officer in order to get married. I wonder what would happen today if two soldiers of the same sex went to their commanding officer and asked permission to marry? The world builds its own conundrums. Perhaps you will think that some of these problems are not all that serious, but one more news item that is: http://vancouver.indymedia.org/news/2003/10/74349.php Israeli Subs Have Nukes Aimed at Iranian Sites by AFP • Sunday October 19, 2003 at 04:00 AM 100 Harpoon cruise missiles have been secretly airlifted to the remote island of Diego Garcia, a joint UK-U.S. base in the Indian Ocean. The three Israeli submarines that arrived at the base early this month were each loaded with 24 Harpoon missiles. They then set sail for the Gulf of Oman—bringing Iran’s nuclear facilities all within range of the submarines’ payloads. "God will get you."

Bush rallied the troops and made points with the voters. A courageous and positive thing to do. Being president is dangerous. The percentage mortality for presidents is higher than that of all US armed forces past or present. Iraqis, however, remain miffed. Americans should think how they would feel if their country was occupied by uniformed soldiers who spoke a different language were generally members of a different religion and were part of a different culture. Still, the main the thing that miffs Iraqis is the lack of security. Would you prefer knowing that your daughter could walk safely around the block at night - or being able to buy a new TV satellite dish? In either system - they are not able to effect who governs them - and in either system they were generally able to practice their religion. (Unless they were a Baha'i, or a Jew, or a Christian in most Moslem countries like Saudi Arabia). Oh, well. Speaking of satellite dishes. I don't own one. Have never owned one. And don't plan to get one. But have been seeing the ads about stealing satellite signals. "Boy - why did you steal that candy bar? Where did you learn to steal?" "But dad, you steal satellite signals." Ack! That is terrible. Written by lawyers and PR people with absolutely no moral persuasion that have absolutely no compulsion against tearing down parental respect and the integrity of the family - so long as it makes them a buck. One does not steal something if it does not deprive the owner of that thing. Peeping Toms, intrusion of privacy, and all that sort of thing aside - the electromagnetic spectrum is out there for the taking. Morality is defined by God. Adulterers have anciently argued that sleeping with another man's wife does not deprive that man of her. Aside from the fact that there are many falsities in that belief - including safety from disease, and responsibility for children - there is a Divine Law - one of the Ten Commandments that says: "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery". There is also a commandment that says: "Thous Shalt Not Steal". But, there is no commandment that thou shalt not receive a satellite signal. The lawyers would make it illegal if they could to receive the electromagnetic spectrum from the sun - without paying them a fee. "I have been granted a license by the FCC on that part of the electromagnetic spectrum that brought you tonight's sunset and you have deprived me of my property by taking a picture of it." The only social justification for licensing the spectrum other than maintaining order in the same way as we direct traffic on the highways - would be to reward the providers of intellectual content - (who traditionally have been paid for by advertisers) and likewise those who generate the signal who were likewise remunerated for broadcast radio and TV. Changing times and changing mores - and they may pull this off - but I don't think so. I have thought of painting a picture on the side of a building and charging everyone that looks at it. Some fellows built an outside movie theatre in our home town. Wanted people to board over their windows on the adjoining back lots so they could watch their pictures. I would like to see more rewards go to the creators of intellectual properties - but our system does not do that in any of the media. It simply permits the media moguls to extend copyrights and restrict usage which certainly has not been to the public good. Starving artists and impoverished publicists still abound. There are systems that could remedy the injustices but the lawyers hired by the concentrations of wealth are not interested in finding or founding them. Just another of my little irrelevant rants. What is relevant is that society is coming apart at the seams. Each day a bit more. People see it more in other countries where they live with it daily. Daily deaths in Iraq. Daily terrorists in Israel. Daily threats in Korea. More chain rattling this week in Taiwan - with threats of a referendum on separation. Troubles in Tokyo with a rocket that didn't make it into space. Looking at the space scene. Russia first country to put up a satellite and a man in space. China not that far behind (certainly on a geological scale) long ago put a satellite and now has sent a man to space. Only other country to have done this is the US. We are not counting people who ride in other peoples rockets - (like the Canadians and Japanese do). Russia, China, US. Space. The mark of being a world power. Space - the next frontier. Space - the present high ground militarily. Space - and mankind hasn't even gotten it together - yet - here on planet earth.

The base is home to about 50 advanced F-15S fighter-jets, which were sent to the facility on the eve of the war against Iraq in March 2003. Under a 1978 agreement, Saudi Arabia pledged not to deploy the aircraft in Tabuk. Israel has also warned the U.S. that the presence of the fighters at Tabuk could be used by al-Qaeda agents within the Saudi military to attack the Jewish state. ..................................................................... [Sources: Jerusalem Post, Arutz-7, Ha'aretz, AP, IMRA, MENL, US State Department, N.Y. Times, The Media Line, Ministry of Tourism Spokesman's Office] --------- :: GAZA ATTACKES UP 70%: The past 10 days have seen a 70% increase in attacks in Gaza, most involving Qassam rockets and mortars, and a total of 26 explosive devices were set during November. ---------- TOURISM UP 46% OVER OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR: Tourism from the United States to Israel during October 2003 surged by 78%, and from France by 80%. Tourism Minister Benny Elon: "Tourism is the only sector of the economy generating growth. The impressive growth in numbers from the Tourism Ministry's focus countries, is proof of the success of its overseas marketing efforts." The upswing in tourism to Israel is continuing: In October 2003, an increase of 46% was recorded over October 2002 in the number of tourists arriving in Israel. Especially impressive were the figures for the United States and Europe. So it emerges from data of the Tourism Ministry's Statistics and Information Department, published today. From the United States, 28,500 tourists arrived in October 2003 compared to 16,069 in October 2002, a jump of 78%. During the first ten months of the year, 210,266 tourists came from the United States as against 163,153 in the same period last year, an increase of 29%. ------------ Sort of the way things go. The Israeli military is probably VERY EXCITED about those jets moving in there - but tourism and terrorist attacks are up, which means that like me - these people are seeing it as the old same old. It is constant creep. If it had happened all at once a couple of years ago - there would have been a lot of excitement about it. But now - a batch of kids got killed by American forces - and then a couple of weeks later, another batch - but - "ho hum". No one is going to get shook about them being killed by friendly fire like they did a couple of Canadian soldiers - because there is no money in it for the lawyers. Life and law are funny. Look at this case before the US Supreme Court in my news file. ---------- In Nelson's appeal to the Supreme Court, Atlanta attorney Michael Kennedy McIntyre told justices that authorities had told his client they might have to cut through skin, tissue, fat and muscle to get to a vein. "A cut-down procedure is an invasive and barbaric medical procedure which does not comport with the contemporary practice of medical care," he wrote. He said it would have been the first instance of Alabama performing such a medical procedure before an execution, and that there were insufficient safeguards to protect his health. The cases are Schirro v. Summerlin, 03-526 and Nelson v. Campbell, 03-6821. ---------- Get that! They might break his skin sticking the needle in. He would never notice it - with local anaesthesia. In the olden days I doubt that a horse thief would have gotten very far complaining about rope burn at the necktie party. Time to inject a little humor. Big news this week was the government saying they will be non-invasive in watching email and Internet activities. Do take a quick look at this url - it only takes a moment. http://users.chartertn.net/tonytemplin/FBI_eyes If you would be interested in reading a really serious think piece that impressed me - may I suggest. http://www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=magazine.article&issue=soj0309&article= 030910 And if you would like to help me with a new web page I would really appreciate your critique and any input that you can give. http://www.webpal.org/b_recovery/2_farm_recovery/uv.htm Peace and love, Bruce From language@webpal.org Thu Jan 1 16:21:41 2004 Received: from bbeach (d135.gocom.ca [209.135.104.135]) by mail.pairowoodies.com (8.12.9/8.12.9) with SMTP id i01LLSFf024792 for ; Thu, 1 Jan 2004 16:21:35 -0500 From: "Bruce Beach" To: Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 16:03:40 -0500 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) Importance: Normal X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new Subject: [Arktwo] Time for introspection Sender: arktwo-admin@ns.pairowoodies.com Errors-To: arktwo-admin@ns.pairowoodies.com X-BeenThere: arktwo@ns.pairowoodies.com X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.13 Precedence: bulk List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: This is the traditional time of the year to review one's thoughts. Introspection and resolutions are the order of the day. For great grandfathers, such as I, introspection is prompted by time of life as well as time of year. I was born in a different culture. Not saying a different country - or even a subset culture of the country. Simply a different culture that existed because of that different time before "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and "The Outlaw" which were the watershed events in American print and film mores. My childhood, and even through my early teens, was very sheltered in a community where no one had ever heard of a Moslem - and wouldn't until years later with the event of Muhammad Ali - and where to this day many have still never personally met a Moslem. Because of TV my grandchildren are exposed to sex and violence by the age of six such as I was unaware of at age sixteen. They also become skeptics at a very early age about advertising and other things they hear. Living through events that changed my view of the world were shocks to the psyche. I list below some of the discoveries that really hurt - That adults would not always tell the truth. (About age four). That boys and girls aren't alike. (Doctor games about age five - and being caught playing them). Where eggs come from. (A trip to grandfathers farm about age 5). How sausages are made. (A trip with uncle to a meat packing firm about age 5). That my pet rabbit didn't't run away. (Dinner at grandfather's farm about age 5). That storks don't bring babies. (A whispered rumor in grade one). That there was no Santa Claus. (Around third grade Christmas). That children can die young. (A fourth-grade school-friend's suicide). That blacks could only swim in the black only swimming pool - but there was no black only swimming pool. I went and looked through the boarded up fence - into the dried up old pool full of scrap boards and trash. And also learned that the black scout troop - didn't have a real tent. (about 6th grade) That blacks had to eat in the restaurant kitchen. And only that was allowed because they were chauffer and maid to a passing tourist in a big car. That Roosevelt knew Pearl Harbor was going to occur. This was told to me at about age 12 by a neighbor from scrapbooks kept by his son who was at Pearl at the time of the attack. I didn't believe it then. It was perhaps in the last 10 years that I became increasingly historically convinced. That there were homosexual predators. It has left me with the impression that most homosexuals are pedophiles - and I must have been hit upon a half dozen times, which I doubt is unusual - although in that social clime and time they always backed off. (about ages 12-18) That the girl that I was most attracted to in junior high was not a virgin. Never got a date with her. Girls with much better morals were highly attracted to me - but I ignored them - and was gaw-gaw over this girl. Weird world. That there were other religions besides Christian. This was in a Bible belt town - before the arrival of TV - and the math teacher in high school that gave us a handout on that, they let go. (He was a poor math teacher - and both that and the handout greatly affected my life). That someone would try to con me out of my bed and food. Which happened on my very first night away from home - when I reported to the hotel for a traveling magazine sales job that mother had gotten for me. (age 16) That there were nymphomaniacs. Getting out of the sheltered environment of home - creates a new perspective - and the magazine crew provided that. That the American Japanese were imprisoned in concentration camps This was told to me by some Japanese patrons at a hotel where I gotten a job as a bellhop when I decided the magazine sell was a bit of con. (By today's marketing standards of anything - it was practically as pure as the driven snow). I didn't really believe the Japanese at the time - that their homes had been confiscated and all. That my government would lie to me. It was tough making it as a bellhop and since I was going to have to go into the service eventually anyway (these were the Korean War years) I thought I might as well get it over with - and enlisted. They broke every enlistment promise they made to me. I scored the highest of the intakes on the IQ test - and was made 'troop movement commander' but that was the last benefit I ever received. No pick of job. (Anything doing with flying was filled). That the military code of honor was practically non-existent. Strange little events in our lives really tick us off. End of boot camp. Snow and we were in tents. Assigned guard duty on a stupid wood pile. Awakened and flashlight and guard list shoved into my hand. Standing out there freezing decided to look at the list. Names had been torn out of the paper. I was always the bottom sucker guy in the flight. Just call for the corporal of the guard they had said. Called and called - no answer. (They were all inside keeping warm). Will be court martialed if you leave your post. (Shot in earlier times). Freezing because wearing summer gear and decide to go to the headquarters anyway. Just sent to bed. No one questioned about anything. Saw this kind of attitude about military justice many times afterwards. I had (and still have) a very idealistic outlook on life. That professors with high degrees can be just as narrow minded and dogmatic as anyone. Had never had a professor with a Ph.D. and now this guy had two. Passed his course with a 'B'. No other courses available (up in the arctic with the military) the next semester. Took the course a second time and argued against the Malthusian Theory - so he gave me a 'D'. Met others just as bad in later years. One at BYU never read my papers because I was the wrong religion. Just always gave me a 'B' - and I discovered that I could copy anything into the papers and would get a 'B'. That my dad was a member of the KKK. I discovered when I returned from the service. Superb guy. Highly respected by blacks and whites. Commander of the American Legion. Blacks would come to our door to have him come resolve problems in the black community. A different culture. You had to be there. That whites could join the NAACP. When I was invited to give a talk there. My parents were very racist then - (but changed considerably over the decades). My son, years later, brought home a black choir from Oral Roberts University. My mother called me distressed. "They are eating at our table and sleeping in our beds." "Well, you would let your grandson do that - but you would never have let me." Silence for a moment. "You are right about that." Kikes, Commies, and Niggers. My dad couldn't abide any of them. Yet, I married a Jewess, had Jewish children, went through my communist political stage - and became president of a local NAACP. Still my parents loved me through it all. That there were lesbians. The Kinsey revolution during my college years was certainly a cultural revolution in many ways. That my former wife could turn on me in post partem depression. Was one of the two most traumatic events in my life. (The other a son killed in an accident). Truly nearly drove me nuts. Got twenty-two tickets in the next few weeks time. That Chicago policemen were on the take. Shook the hand of the last one to give me a ticket - and thanked him. Explained to him that he was the first one that hadn't asked for a bribe. Another later got me fired from my job for refusing to give him a bribe. That bureaucrats and politicians fixed tickets. Arrived back in Chicago for one day on what coincidently happened to be election day. Looking for some place to pay the tickets. Fellow took me to a politician. "How much do you want to pay". "What is fair". (I had in mind to just have the tickets paid on the next business day - but anyway - I never heard from them again). That judges decide in favor of lawyers. And there is a lengthy story. Son died in hospital. Had exceptional amount of insurance for grad student. Nurse nun said, "Will show boy in semi-private room" (instead of nursery). When settlement came she said she was "amazed" at the tens of thousands of dollars - and it left only a few hundred dollars on the bill. I pointed out that the insurance paid for semi-private and child was in nursery - so that should settle it. "No - you will have to pay the balance." Carrying newspapers while supporting family and in graduate school - did not have the money. Collection agency called and harangued me every week. Finally told them - "Stop calling or I will sue for malpractice - because the child died of an infection gotten in the hospital." Calls stopped. Months later, one year to date after child died, calls started again. Went to lawyer. One has one year to sue for malpractice - hospitals have 7 years to sue for debt. (Guess who wrote law that way). Notice to appear in court. Gigantic theatre downtown. All main floor and three surrounding balconies filled. Clerk calls out - "Company so and so versus individual". [Can barely him over the noise - with hundreds of lawyers chatting with each other]. One lawyer stands up. "I represent the company". Clerk says - "Is there representation for the defendant?" Never a response. Judge says: "Do you have notarized itemized bills." Lawyer says: "I do your honor in the amount of $______". Judge raps gavel and says. "Awarded to the plaintiff." and the clerk calls out the next one. The legal system and your day in court. Comes to mine after about 45 minutes of this. Clerk says: "Hospital versus Bruce Beach". Lawyer says: "I represent the Hospital". Clerk says: "Is there representation for the defendant?" I stand up and say, "I am Bruce Beach and I am here to defend myself." You gotta be there - when hundreds of people stop talking and there is not one peep. Judge looks up into the balcony and sees this long haired sandaled hippie with his dirty paper bag over his shoulder and says: "Who are you?" "I am Bruce Beach". Judge says to the lawyer: "Do you have notarized itemized bills." Lawyer says: "I do your honor in the amount of $______". Judge lifts his gavel - puts it down and then says: "They are notarized itemized bills?" Lawyer says: "Yes, your Honor." Judge lifts his gavel - puts it down and sits for a moment then picks it up points it at me and says: "Alright - I will set a hearing for 9:00 am tomorrow and you had better be here." [No similar implied threat was made to the plaintiffs.] I said: "Thank you, your Honor" and left as the volume of the noise of talking once again resumed. Next morning: Walked into foyer of courthouse. Two lawyers standing there waiting for me. Civil greetings - "Shall we go in they say?" "You lead", say I. Into the empty court room and through the door in the rail, and they take one table and put their briefcases on it and point out the other table to me and I throw my paper bag up on it. Clerk comes in as says: "All rise." (we stand up) Judge: "Be seated". "Do you have notarized itemized bills" (to the lawyers). Lawyer: "Here they are your honor." Judge to me: "What is your defense?" Myself: "I have three your honor - may I present them one at a time?" "Very well." "First, the bills were intentionally inflated by the hospital. The child was not in a semi-private room - so the payment more than covered the actual cost." "Disallowed." "Secondly, the child died in the hospital because of the infection received while in the hospital." "You had a year to sue for malpractice - disallowed." "Thirdly, I had an implied contract with the hospital as represented by the collection agency in which I did not sue and they quit calling me - [that is until after the expiration of the year in which I could sue.] Long silence. [Lawyers later said - I 'almost' had them with that implied contract.] But of course - the judge ruled for the lawyers. I have been in court many dozens of times since. In retrospect that was one of the kinder - gentler experiences. One eventually comes to realize that the law is simply what the judges (and bureaucrats) say it is and that judges almost always will side with the lawyers and especially with police and bureaucrats who work for, and get their paychecks, from the same government as they do. I have been through some MUCH MORE dramatic and totally UNFAIR court scenes since but that was my first introduction to the American court system. That government agencies combine to assist one another against 'civilians' - which is to say someone is not a member of government agency. In later years this proved to be even more detrimental than the courts. That it is banks that create money. Sort of legalized stealing in that they loan out multiples of what you think you have safely stored there. Practice becomes custom and convention and I am not saying that there aren't worse systems than fractionalized reserve systems - but for an economics undergraduate it was an awakening - especially back then. That my Christian Science Church discriminated against blacks. Even required that practitioners list whether they were black or not - as if one's color makes a difference to one's prayers. That treaties were repeatedly broken with the Indians. Graduate school in political science and economics truly made me a social revolutionary - (I am much more an economic conservative now - although still 'radical' in my ideas). In those days these were facts about the Indians that were not even taught to undergraduates. That cannon were fired into the teepees and hogans where women and children were taking refuge. In those 'Un-American Activities Committee' days one just never spoke, repeated, taught, facts that were opposite of the American ideal. That Abraham Lincoln was a radical racist who did not free the slaves with the Emancipation Proclamation. (I first learned about these facts during a graduate course on the Lincoln / Douglas debates). The degree of Lincoln's racism is just really becoming apparent to me in the last few weeks). That the Jews Hitler sent to America were not permitted to land here. I had met some Jewish guests at the hotel and had been told about this but it wasn't until graduate school that I came to realize that it was true. That at least the second atomic weapon used against Japan was an experiment and need not have been used - because they were in the process of surrendering. It did expedite matters, but some have suggested they could have been given a demonstration even with the first weapon. That the US Government would lie about 'ancient' history. That the 1898 blowing up of the USS Maine was known by the government at the time not to be act of Terrorism. Its captain, Captain Sigsbee, himself said so. In 1975, an investigation led by Admiral Hyman Rickover examined the data recovered from the wreck and concluded that there had been no evidence of an external explosion. The most likely cause of the sinking was a coal dust explosion in a coal bunker as Captain Sigsbee had cautioned. 'Rememember the Maine' now has a whole new meaning for me. That the US attacked Russia and lost the war. I argued with the graduate school professor that this couldn't possibly be true. He sent me to the Congressional Record to check it out for myself. This is a little fact that was left out of American history textbooks but of course included in every Russian history textbook. I became thoroughly disgusted about the degree to which 'education' then, now, and always - seems to involve brainwashing. That the hospital where I worked intentionally terminated patients at set times. "Well, I got rid of three patients this morning", said the doctor, as we sat at Friday morning breakfast. That was so he wouldn't get called in over the weekend, if they had died then. Standard practice. That Roosevelt instigated Pearl Harbor. Beyond the fact that he knew it was going to occur - that he actually instigated the war by placing embargoes on Japan. This has come as increasing awareness in the last ten years. In those days, Italy, Japan, and Germany had signed a tripartite 'axis' agreement - and in those days Roosevelt was not able to get the US to attack a country that had not attacked it. (Not a problem today - like in Iraq). Anyway, Roosevelt was able to precipitate the Japanese into attacking via the embargoes, so that he could then declare war on Germany - (part of the mutual defense 'axis'). It took me years to assimilate this sort of reality. Anyway, it is my current view - that this was the reality. Eisenhower and the U2 - in which he said: "There are no U2s flying over Russia." and so there would be no misunderstanding he then spelled it out - "'N'---'O'" No, none. Of course Gary Powers made him out to be a liar. Not that Harry and Mrs. Eisenhower, hadn't discovered that already about his chauffer. What this said to all American children was - the president says you shouldn't lie - 'unless it is important like how come the lid is off the cookie jar'. I have seen many things like that since - but it was new to me then. Things like - "Read my lips", or "What do you not understand about 'No'" or later - "I mis-spoke myself." However, we are getting into the area of campaign promises - and people will tell me "that ain't lying". And then there was- Kennedy: "We aren't thinking of invading Cuba", Castro: "Yes, you are." Kennedy: "No we aren't.", Castro: "Yes, you are." Kennedy: "No we aren't, uh- sorry about the Bay of Pigs thing." That the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin “unprovoked attack” by North Vietnamese torpedo boats on the USS Maddox while it was on “routine patrol” thus precipitating the Vietnam War was a hoax perpetuated by President Lyndon Johnson. In actuality the USS Maddox was involved in aggressive intelligence gathering in coordination with actual attacks by South Vietnam and the Laotian Air Force against targets in North Vietnam. Its captain, Captain John J. Herrick, the task force commander in the Gulf, cabled Washington DC, that the report of its being attacked was false. I of course did not become aware of this until years later - but that is why we went to war with Vietnam. Today, justifying hitting North Korea would be simpler. That the US used WMDs in Vietnam, unless you think that Agent Orange was just a harmless defoliator as far as Vietnamese children were concerned. That the US did chemical experiments on mental patients and prisoners without their permission. We heard a lot of this about the nazis - but it was a shock to me to hear it about America. While I discount all the present conspiracy theories about chemtrails and such - it does still give one pause. That both the government and my religion keep dossiers on me from secret informers. So much for facing one's accusers. That the US told Saddam that it was okay for him to invade Kuwait and sent word via April Glaspie that the United States would not intervene if Saddam Hussein took that part of Kuwait from which Kuwait was slant drilling under Iraq. (However, Saddam got greedy and went for the country). Possibly anticipated by Bush Sr., and could have been desired for other reasons to precipitate a war that the US could not otherwise initiate without agreement of the US public. Oil / politics often elude me. Endless propaganda stories such as the fraud Hill & Knowlton concocted with the daughter of the Kuwaiti Ambassador to the United States, who went on TV pretending to be a nurse, and related a completely false horror story in which Iraqi troops looted the incubators from a Kuwaiti hospital, leaving the premature babies on the cold floor to die. There are so many such stories that this would become a book. It is a whole field of military and government specialty called 'psyops' (psychological operations) used against both the 'enemy' (people in other countries) and American citizens also. It can extend from 'secrets', misleading information and plain lies to the playing on loud speakers all night long to the trapped children of Waco the sounds of rabbits being killed. That there is vote manipulation of the kind that took place in Florida - and before that in Mayor Daly's Chicago. Perhaps simply the American way. That the US Supreme Court would refuse to have the vote counted, something which doesn't bother many - especially about America, but as I have said - I am still and idealist. That US politics is based upon money power and influence is something that seems to me to keep being revealed to a degree that I didn't think possible. The 1991 quote attributed to Nelson Rockefeller at the Trilateral Commission meeting - particularly got to me regarding the media. "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." [Note - I am in agreement with the World Government goals - but not the methods of many groups - and I am fearful of those wielding the methods.] That the US provided Saddam with WMD gas. That Saddam did not intentionally gas the Kurds if he gassed them at all. (Developing evidence is that they were gassed by the Iranians using a different kind of gas than that possessed by Saddam and given to him by the US). That the US military bulldozed sand ditches burying alive Iraqis who were trying to surrender. Too many eyewitness accounts - and photographs to make me think that this is not true. The rationale was that the surrenders could be trickery - and that there were not troops available to divert to taking prisoners. My own concern is - that since each of these little tales above - represent a change in my thinking of what was true - from before I got later facts (and that is the reason for their having been traumatic events) - I still wonder what many things I think today - that I would think differently about, if I had more facts. When one reaches my advanced age then they can tell of experiences like these - many times over, for in my own life these are but samples. I could mention many dozens of other examples - but these revelations are the ones that I remember as having been turning points in my thinking. Daily today - one can look at all the controversies about the 'facts' given for invading Iraq - or the 'terrorist threats' - or the reasons for reducing civil liberties. We stand too close in many instances to judge right from wrong - and I am not saying that I would ever have that wisdom. However, for the young American fellows and gals seventeen to twenty years old that have been killed in the last few months in Iraq, I doubt if they had as many experiences as I have. Still, some readers will tell you - that they understand better than I do - what it is that they are fighting for. I am concerned - that my government might still today, bring me some 'fact' that I might get all emotional about - and support some precipitous action - that I would later regret. But - that would be in retrospect - and that is what this newsletter was about - retrospection and introspection at the time of the New Year. Perhaps in the next letter I shall give some expectations - about the coming year.

She was truly my first spiritual guide - and a woman of exceptional powerful prayer. My father would sacrifice anything for me, and made many sacrifices working into his late 70s to see me through graduate school. As a youth I was often the only child in our Sunday school - and I had the blessing of several private tutors who tutored me not only in the school but on occasion privately in their homes. This was true of my relationship also with my teachers in the public school system. They, numerous scout leaders, and other citizens of the community gave me special attention - probably because I was receptive of it. I felt very blessed in my education, attending eleven universities and having the benefit of a large number of military and industry courses - (I think I remember listing over 60 on my resumes). Beyond this I was blessed in my spiritual travels throughout the world - to ashrams, retreats, and spiritual teachers of a considerable variety. I hit upon a special scheme of finding guides when visiting other countries and cultures that permitted me to accomplish more in short visits than most people do in lengthy stays. In my travels I met remarkable people - who often took the time to explain to me things within their expertise, and I made it a point to always try to find out about every person's specialty that I met. How very blessed to have traveled the world and met so many diverse individuals. In times past - the great majority of humanity never went 20 miles beyond its home. A fellow that I rented a house from told me that he had slept every night of his life in one of two houses on that street. Indeed my thought turns to those souls that I visited 40 years ago in prisons who are still in those prisons. To those in paraplegic wards who are still in those wards. But the travels that most men miss out on are the travels of the mind and spirit. They too, stay in the same houses that they were born in and in the same prisons that I found them. The places of the mind and soul where I have gone - they could not imagine. I relate all this - not to brag of any accomplishments, but simply to acknowledge my blessings. How very blessed to have lived in a time and age that permits this. How very blessed to have lived in a culture and society that permits this. How very much I realize when I criticize the society about me - that in almost no other time and certainly in few other places would I have been permitted to voice such criticisms. How very exciting to have lived in the century that saw the technological advances that have occurred. My mother was born before the Wright Brothers first flew and she lived to fly on a 747. We went from gas lights to lasers. From paper and pad to computer. From horses to superhighways - and from there to traffic jams. It is in the areas of thought and soul that we traveled the furtherest. From the solar system to the galaxies with the Hubble. From the mountains to the moon and this morning with the Rover to Mars. From the macrocosm to the microcosm into the world of the quantum and beyond that to the metacosm. Time, space, and matter have folded astonishingly before our eyes. From dogmatic doctrine of earth centered catechism the soul has been set free to the universality of science and religion. The cosmos opens before, behind, and within us. Such joy, such blessings, such marvels - that if one cannot find joy in this age then one must ask - in what age would they have been happy? Many the blessings I have received, of health and wealth, of family and friends - that although an only child I have over twenty descendants. The key to joy in any age, however, is finding the Lord of the Age, because that is the apex of the meaning of life. What a blessing to know the purpose of life and have purpose in one's own life. This surpasses all other blessings.

Indeed, the threats are real - although they may not be those chanted about in the media nor those indicated by the rainbow spectrum of Homeland Defense. For years now we have heard that the boogey man is about to get you. Anthrax, SARS, chemical attacks - (get your plastic sheeting and duct tape now) and to watch out for people with almanacs (current warning on the FBI website). I have written previous newsletters refuting long lists of paranoid concerns including everything from Planet X to Chemtrails. The best way to increase the number of threat alerts is to increase the number of people looking for threats. Look at it this way. You have this nice job - sitting at a computer scanning lists of threatening passengers - and day after day your supervisor shows up - "Have you found any threats?" "Nope". And the supervisor and the department head are being asked the same question - by the funding source. Do you think they may be inclined to find a threat - if they want to keep their nice jobs? News Item: "Since the September 11 airborne terror strikes on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon two years ago, the North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad) has scrambled fighters or escorted commercial airliners in more than 1600 incidents, according to a Norad spokesman today." Picture 1600 jets blasting off into the wild blue yonder. Do you have any idea how much it costs to own and operate one of those things? They use more gas in a minute - than I use in a year. Yep, you need some justification to keep a toy like that flying around. "Ooops - another bad guy got on that plane - better run a jet up there." Job security for everyone. From the same news item above:--------> "Sometimes they're scrambled because someone has violated a restricted airspace, sometimes they're scrambled because an airliner will squawk an emergency frec (frequency) and so we have to go and respond to that and there are other situations we can't discuss," explained Norad spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Robert Garza. "These sorties include air refuelling tankers and the AWACS (airborne warning and control systems) in addition to fighter patrols, a combination of those three total more than 33,000 sorties now"...Garza said. Norad does not reveal its pilots' rules of engagement, but Norad commander Air Force General Ralph Eberhart told reporters in October his pilots were training several times a week in readiness to shoot down a commercial airliner if needed. Suited-up jet fighter pilots are on high alert at bases across the United States in constant readiness to intercept - and shoot down if necessary - any hijacked commercial airliners,... "We have long discussions with people to see if they are mentally prepared to do this - pilots and (air defence) operators on the ground," Eberhart told reporters. "US President George W Bush approved such drastic measures ...." Now then -- doesn't that make you feel safer - and reduce your fear of flying. But do keep all this in perspective. The greatest threat to the total world remains nuclear, and the US and Russia are still the most nuclear capable countries in the world. The new Russian Topol-M (which with the addition of another ten this last week they have forty in place - all of which may be MIRVED with 3 warheads each) is likely the most advanced missile in the world - and the US has no ABMs that can stop it. The US ABM complex being built in Alaska will not change that fact. The Russians have the most advanced cavitronic submarine nuclear armed torpedo. The US is not known to have anything to compare. With these one might not have to be very close (say within a few miles) to a US nuclear sub to take it out. Russia has ringed Moscow with ABMs, (as per a treaty agreement which the US has now terminated). Somehow they, Reagan, and now Bush, have more confidence in ABMs than do most prudent scientists because the ABMs work only on a percentage basis and can be easily overwhelmed with additional throws. Nevertheless, the Bush cancellation of the treaty and the US proceeding with ABM emplacement has greatly increased Russian anxiety which has been reflected in Russia's increased nuclear activities. So, while I am not, they are a believer in ABMs. Putin announced last week that Russia has a substantial inventory of SS-19s that have never been activated and are therefore factory new out of the box. The media SALT reports repeatedly greatly overstate the so called accomplishments of the disarmament treaties. Both the US and Russia have thousands of strategic nuclear weapons that they can hurl at each other. Russian civil defense remains much more substantial than US civil defense - which is an additional side and threat to the story, but both the US and Russia have relied upon MAD for the last half century. The main Russian (and Chinese) problem, however, is that Russia (and China) feel threatened. 1. Russia, under Kruchev, thought that it would "bury the US" economically. Unfortunately for Russia, communism proved to be a chimera. 2. Russia had to reform its economic structure towards western free enterprise - and there is no one who today that has aspirations of the Comintern taking over the world - (with the possible exception of a few ideologues in Russia, China and Cuba). Certainly, Putin is not one of these. 3. With all of its mutual protection treaties, Russia's biggest threat still remains China. Its eastern sectors are always under pressure, from what is a defacto invasion. The US is no more about to make a ground invasion of Russia (or China) - than Russia (or China) is about to make a ground invasion of the US. No one has enough men or boats to mount an invasion against a nuclear power - and would not dare do it anyway - because they would get nuked. That fact is what keeps hundreds of millions of Arabs - from invading tiny Israel. "Please, please give up your WMDs, Israel - we don't have nukes and you shouldn't either." And then they continue: "And then while you are at it we would like you to just go out of existence." 4. More in the news, and almost an equal threat to Russia, is Moslem Extremism. For them this is not a far off across the major oceans threat. 5. The disruptions and in fact revolt within states like Georgia and others are very destabilizing to the Russian political sphere. 6. The Russian market economy has never remained in anything but the doldrums, and its major extensions into Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran are in tatters. 7. From the military arms point of view, the greatest threat to Russia (and China) is that the US is about to make a great technological breakthrough and capture the space high ground. This in spite of the fact that the US presently does not have a viable space vehicle and that travel to and from the international space platform is provided courtesy of the Russians. 8. However, the greatest threat of all - is that every four years the US can possibly come up with a completely different geopolitical policy towards Russia (and China). One time it may be containment, the next cooperation, the next establishment of a multipolar world order, the next rule by law through the United Nations, the next the establishment of a unipolar world order, the next raw imperialism by the world's largest power. In point of fact - Russia, and the rest of the world - have watched that very progression over the last half century. 9. For Russia and China, with their own aspirations, they can only look at the US dominance of the Middle East - combined with US insistence of its policies in other spheres (i.e., Georgia, Turkey, Taiwan, Korea) underpinned by an expanding dollar based world - (somewhat challenged by the Euro) along with American technological, and cultural achievements (such as English being the most popular second language in the world) and they see for themselves no future good in these trends. The French, Islamic and other cultures, such as in India, Africa, and South America, may harbor similar resentments but they are not big players. For some the answer to all this is MAD. (Mutual Assured Destruction). At least a stronger American arsenal. But, Russia and China see MAD slipping away from them. Putin keeps candidly informing the US that it too is a nuclear power, and China is racing forward with intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities as quickly as it can - and all have long range aspirations for space. Russia and China fear that what may have once been a technological balance is about to swing entirely to the US. Yes, the oceans were once opaque and MAD's strength lay in the great number of nuclear subs. (For those who think the US fleet has diminished - they should look at Russia's). However, the next war is never won with the weapons of the previous war. New anti-sub weapons, new satellite surveillance systems, are now about to reduce the effectiveness of nuclear subs just as they have the carrier based technology that was the center of US strength until now. New satellite technology is making the once opaque ocean more and more translucent. New nuclear tipped torpedoes that travel hundreds of miles per hour need only to get within miles of their target. New technologies like HAARP can send out signals from a single location that can be passively used by hunter subs to find their targets - whereas sonar, radar, and such - previously disclosed the hunter's as well as the hunted's position. Technology stands not still. It changes at an accelerating rate and can now change more in ten years than it has in the last hundred. Think of fighting today's technology with technology a hundred years old - and then think of fighting what may be out there - ten years from now - with what you have today. That is America's, Russia's and China's problem. Any moment the adversary may make a great leap forward. Then - game over. The answer is not more arms - but none of the leaders are ready to make the real great jump forward - which is a spiritual jump - to lead the world to justice. Most any social system will work if the hearts of men are pure and just. No system will work if they are not. The ideal system is that which Encourages the saints Guides the sinners And restrains the satans. Unfortunately, our present system is Discouraging the saints Confusing the sinners And rewarding the satans. The reason being - that at this time there is little purity and justice in the hearts of men. The result to me seems inevitable. BTW - if someone in the US would like to have one of the 10 piece radiation kits that Ark Two did the group purchase on - there is one available. The owner is going to India next month and will sell it for $200. Email to me and I will pass it on to him. First come - first served.

I wrote the following on 9/8/01 ------------> All is unfolding in accordance with the Divine Plan. It is well that we do not know exactly what that is - because humanly we would undoubtedly desire something different - and thus desire other than the Will of God. Much will occur during the next six weeks that is not to the liking of many humans. The month of September itself will see extraordinary activity. ....the very very real possibility of a simultaneous major terrorist action - if not in Washington DC itself - then in some other major metropolitan area. <-------------- Many of you have asked me - that if in my many contacts I get some intimation of something about to take place - to please let you know. Well - I am letting you know. Once again, let me remind you - I make no pretensions at being a prophet - and I do not get revelations of any sort. I always give you all my reasons for my expectations - so you can make your own judgments based on those same reasons. I will provide you with the raw data, and I will welcome anyone's alternative explanation - or their finding other data that disproves my explanation. Here is what has occurred. For the last two weeks I have been making intensive effort (usually 12-14 hours a day) to make contacts within China. In September, (this last September) an organization for which I am the International Coordinator - had its China Coordinator from Canada visit China. The China Coordinator brought back a lengthy list of contacts from the Cultural Conference which he attended. At the same time - others (Professors from some nearby universities) also attended the conference. They also brought back special contacts - and they also gave me their contact's email addresses. I have emailed to all these people in China - and have not received ONE reply. The Canadian Chinese coordinator, the professors I just mentioned, and the president of our international organization, have also written emails - and have NOT received ONE reply. I have also tried making contact through other large universities - and through three specialists at three different Canadian Consulates in China, (all of whom have been very helpful) and we still have not received one reply. I have gone onto the Internet and have compiled DOZENS of email addresses - and have written to each one of them. Either dead silence, or the email bounces, or there is a message something like - 'mail box full'. These addresses are located in EVERY province of China. If all this seems strange - it gets even stranger. A search of the Internet turns up hundreds of web pages for Universities in China. Forty percent of these web pages have stopped working outright. Of the sixty percent still working - when you get to the Chinese web pages - and click on 'English Version' Sixty percent of those then go to a blank page. When you do finally reach an English page on what is now only 30% of the original web pages and you click on the 'Contact' link - 100% of those DO NOT WORK! I did get through to one (and only one address) which responded - "Yes, this is a working address", but then when I sent an email - it did not respond. So that you can determine this for yourself - I am posting my work page - http://www.webpal.org/ccweb.htm with the list of hundreds of universities. Go to a province of your choice. Click on the University. If you get through to the Chinese page look and see if there is still an English link. If you find an English link - click on it. If you get through to an English page - look for a contact link. If you find a contact link - click on that. If you find a contact - send them an email - and if your email goes through and you get a reply - PLEASE send me the email address. I have been able to get through to only ONE in the last four weeks - and then got no response from that one. Good luck. Since I have become aware of this - I also yesterday saw a posting (as a result of the search engine) of someone else making a similar comment about being unable to open China English pages. Now then - you probably can get through to businesses in China that want to sell you something - and you may have some personal contacts - but what we are talking about here is cultural / educational exchange. So what does this mean? [News Item THIS week: China has asked the US to stop interfering in Hong Kong regarding Hong Kong's political freedom.] [News Item Last Couple of Months: China has been shutting down all the Internet Cafes throughout China because of concerns for public fire safety.] (Hmmm. Sounds familiar - same reason Canadian Government has given for closing the Ark Two shelter.] [News Item last couple of weeks: Both China and Bush have warned Taiwan - NOT to hold the referendum on March 20th.] [News Item this week: China has told its Commercial Airlines - that they will all be commandeered in case of action against Taiwan, (actually used another expression - other than Taiwan but that is what was meant).] There are many other such items - both public and personal that I could name. For one thing we put on a luncheon in Canada in December (last month) for a highly placed Chinese dignitary and have not even received a thank you - or been able to reach them since. China has a long history before the days of the Internet - of SUDDENLY shutting its doors, and with Internet Service being through only Four Providers in China - it is an easy thing for them to do today also. But why? It could be what I wrote to you on 9/12/01 (strange how these dates keep coming up). -----------> The President of China had given Taiwan an offer they can't refuse. (But they will.) Telling them that they can keep their government currency economic system customs officers and all present officials - that Mainland China would not impose on them any regulations officials or taxes. BUT they- TAIWAN HAD TO SAY - there is ONE China. Nothing more to be negotiated - Taiwan got it all. Even more than Arafat with return of territories and division of Jerusalem. But Taiwan, like Arafat, will refuse. That was the purpose of the offer - to show that the situation is irresolvable through negotiation. Now - the other solution will be implemented. <------------ Or it could be something else. Readers report to me strange things. One reader, a Health Department Food Inspector, went into inspect the cafeteria in a big plant. "What in the world is all this activity?" Big rush order to modify some implements of war - (I am being intentionally vague) that provide an alternative to using a nuke solution in NK. (Makes me wonder what Bush agreed to with the president of China - when the US President then came out and spoke against Taiwan holding the referendum.) Call last week from a knowledgeable reader. He had been out driving on some very unusual new roads - (I won't say in which state) but these roads turned into three lanes wide in the middle of no-where before going back to two lanes out in the middle of remote desolate country. The three lane portions had several 3 lane branches off them that went off for a mile or two into cul-de-sacs that were all paved large round areas. You get the picture. If you don't - I am not going to spell it out. [News Item Today: The largest troop rotation in the history of the world - as the battle hardened troops are brought back from Iraq - tours of duty are extended - further reserves are called up - or put on alert to be called up - in what appears to be a time table in preparation for an event in some months - not too many hence.] So when? My best guess is within 30 days - after March 20th the window of this activity will open and will remain open until July 15th. This is unrelated to the US election activity and in fact is contra-indicated by the US election schedule. So what? I don't know - anymore than I knew about the WTC, but it seems to be precipitated by the upcoming Taiwan referendum. Activity tied to the US election would be after November - and probably after the first of the year. So why? To repeat myself - All is unfolding in accordance with the Divine Plan. It is well that we do not know exactly what that is - because humanly we would undoubtedly desire something different - and thus desire other than the Will of God.

Even Chinese English web pages. Even Chinese English web pages with contact addresses. YES! I said I ended up identifiying over fifty such email addresses and sent them all emails, but all came to naught. However, I still followed through on the suggested addresses - and THEY TOO BOUNCED - which further confirms my point. I COULD go through the list of hundreds of universities that I directed you to on my web page - and send out dozens more - but what is the point if I don't get a response. One suggestion from a correspondent in China is that people at the lower levels to which my emails are addressed simply can't make the decision. However, I do not see that as an explanation: 1. This does not explain the number of bounces. 2. This does not explain the number of blank pages. 3. This does not explain the number of non-working URLs. 4. And often my only message (request) is that they respond if it is a working email address. I think this also holds true for the following suggestion: -------------> >Alot of this could have to due with the chinese new year. >In my industry we have 4 to 6 weeks of China in shut down mode. >Alot of time you cant even speak to a human during this period. <-------------- For more about the Chinese New Year see: http://www.chinapage.com/newyear.html Another correspondent emphasizes some very newsworthy Chinese current events. The recent Chinese / India joint naval exercise - a first to my knowledge. The substantial movement of Chinese troops to the NK border. The concentration of missiles and forces opposite Taiwan. But let us hope - that I am mistaken and that in a month after Chinese New Year celebrations that I will suddenly get a massive bunch of replies. But, I doubt it. They can't reply - if they have bounced.

Way behind on emails about the CD - and I owe about twenty emails - so my apology. Personal financial crisis means I should be out this moment trying to generate some income but just came in to recover from driveway shoveling session - so taking a moment to write because so much is happening. First, an update on the China email situation. Contacts in China tell me they think it is simply the Chinese New Year's hiatus - but that would hardly explain the bounces. Associated Press news item sent to me that was published 3 days ago states that reporters are having a similar difficulty - and that they attribute it to current elections. Another news item about the BMW case (don't ask) relates how hundreds of thousands of references to it were suddenly deleted from all web sites - demonstrating the power of Chinese censorship. http://www.nytimes.com/2004/01/16/international/asia/16CHIN.html?ex=10752874 22&ei=1&en=ddfd3ad5c9c2f194 All in all I am contributing the situation to several potential causes. a. The New Year Celebrations which may delay responses until as late as March b. The current Taiwan referendum crises which is causing email censorship c. The continuing feudalism of Chinese administration in which one has to reach power brokers on a personal basis. d. The Xenophobic nature of the Chinese character e. The lack of altruism in the Chinese society. f. There is of course natural resistance to our program it being so revolutionary. Elsewhere in the world - there were a couple of news items that I thought very significant. The Russians returned to service last week the world's largest nuclear bomber - which flies 3,000 km at Mach 2 and carries 16 nuclear armed cruise type missiles which can go another 3,000km. The fleet of 15 can therefore deliver in one flight without reloading 240 nuclear weapons to American Cities. This on top of the 120 war heads (if Mirved) from the 40 Topol M that I told you about a couple of weeks ago - plus the mobile ICBMs plus the siloed ICBMs plus the nuclear armed subs plus the cavitronic nuclear armed torpedo. Curious to me - that a country with such a severe budget restraint (as also China, India and Pakistan) would spend so much on nuclear arms when people assure me that none of them will ever use them. More curious to me - that they are all doing it with such INTENSITY at this moment. AND among strange happenings in the world - there have been reports of both US and Russian military activity in Antarctica of all places. The Arctic I can understand - but what in the world is the interest in the South Pole. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, or out in East 40, or whatever Bush calls Iraq - activity also increases. Military deaths went over 500 this week. (As for civilian don't even count - because they don't count.) Number of military deaths per day now averaging better than three - or about 100 a month. At this rate then within five months - before July 1st, we will see a thousand. Lots of fresh fodder being sent in. Lots of complaints about US soldier suicides. I don't know why. This is the GOOD weather season over there. Later would be more understandable. If you didn't see Stratfor's Russian Report this week - look for it. Excellent. The Russians are losing it - literally, and they know it. USSR - Gone. Even Russian influence going - and largely gone - in Ukraine, Georgia, Afghanistan, the UN, you name it. Could this have anything to do with the rush by Russia to rearm. China over Taiwan, North Korea over nukes, Iraq about to revolt over elections, Iran realigning the Moslems countries, Israel about to do whatever Israel does, the Euro chewing up the dollar, does Bush really need any more problems with the elections coming up and what is this about the moon and Antarctica. Nope, I really don't have a clue - as to what is really going on. But, we may be about to find out.

The Continentals were called 'shin plasters' because that is all they came to be good for. Some people used defaulted bonds to paper their walls. My daddy saved old currency - (The South will rise again - and while I don't think so - maybe my daddy was right about the money.) http://www.scripophily.net/cobofimidolo.html People who bought US government bonds in 1979 - will now find that they also make nice wall paper. http://www.uncle-scam.com/Breaking/jan-04/bpd-1-15.pdf Actually, the government will buy them back. It is just not going to pay interest on them. That wasn't in the original deal - and was the reason people bought the bonds - as a long term investment. Good as gold - or good as the government, was the saying. The latter saying is probably still true. Anyway, this appears to be a landmark event not being exactly headlined on the evening news. Many people in other countries now print their own US currency. Some estimates run as high as 40% of it being counterfeit in some locales. Most small merchants around here won't any longer take 50s or 100s of either US or Canadian currency, and some of the banks will only take it if you have an account with them and then they give you the fifth degree - run it through verification machines and put it in a separate envelope and make you sign a statement. Not all that much an evil plot to get away from money because the electronic stuff is not that secure either. For the most part, however, there are lots of bills out in circulation. Major underground economy in Canada - because of the tax system. Cash and no receipt - and you save 15% sales tax plus more - because the recipient doesn't have to pay bundles of income tax either. So, anyway, don't take any wooden nickels. (Some towns started making their own out of wood during the depression - when there wasn't any money - but the merchants would give those instructions to their clerks.) Just got on this kick - because I thought it was such a newsworthy item - although not in the news, about the US defaulting. But, enough for that. -------------- Wrote a company yesterday that I have a plan for peace. They wrote back that they would be willing to sign a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement). I told them that wasn't necessary - that I wished someone WOULD steal it. (Anything to get it implemented!) Anyhow, that was the last I heard from them. If you can't make a buck out of it - who wants it. Certainly not the military / industrial complex. --------------- Told you about the largest bombers in the world being owned by the Russians and being put into service last week. Some questioned me on this - but others were even so kind as to provide pictures. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3406043.stm You have to string all the numbers of this next one together and paste it onto your browser. I think the pictures are worth doing it. http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?s=f531fe2d7d9e8977a1ceabcaff09 5e0d&threadid=88946 ---------------- Turns out that the importance of going to the Moon is a new abundant very powerful fuel there that is rare on earth. Helium 3. Probably takes an oil man - to put that into perspective. Don't worry about the long pipe line - (or pipe dream) because the purpose would be to fuel space ships going elsewhere. ----------------- To moon or not to moon. Personally I am with the moonies. Five billion dollars you say. Well, that is only a dollar a person for every person on this planet, and since we are talking about over five years we are talking about 20 cents per person per year. You are also supposed to get Mars thrown in for that. Man needs to keep challenging the scientific frontiers. One of the threats of peace is that we will stop doing that when we destroy the implements of war because almost all significant scientific advance has been funded for the military. Yep, even 20 cents is hard to come by for many starving kids in the world - but it shouldn't be. Oh, well - I won't go there. I certainly won't be going to Mars either, and neither will anyone else in my lifetime. I remember the debates - when I was a kid - about man going to the moon, and how many ridiculed me for being a firm believer. In truth - what COULD be revealed about science and reality would make present knowledge pale by comparison - if mankind could get its spiritual facts straight. Okay - I won't go there either. ------------- Lots of news this week - on the China / Taiwan Japan / North Korea Pakistan / India Israel / Palestine Iraq / US scenes - but it is just too tiresome to analyze it all. Enough to say that none of them are getting along too well together - and that was the news last week - and probably will be the news next week. ------------ Thinking of making a trip to Kansas, in the next couple of days. Would be neat to stop and visit some readers along the way there and back if some were to offer hospitality for a night. Don't want to put anyone out - but we generally travel from Canada down I-69 to Indianapolis and then along I-70 to Kansas City, although sometimes we can cut down I-44 in Missouri, or travel other parallel highways more towards Chicago. Grandson ran through a plate glass window on Saturday - and had to be helicoptered to Trauma Center. Lost a lot of blood and was in ICU for over 24 hours - but started breathing again on his own and is now back home. One more reason to go. Also four grandchildren arriving there from Taiwan for a week - so there would be five children and eleven grandchildren and possibly a great-grandchild to see. Big storm brewing in the Central States - so this may not be feasible. Also storm supposed to show up here this afternoon. Just this moment my wife yelped - the cold water line has frozen - so maybe we don't dare leave here.

Grandson first real genius in the family. Age 6: Reads English as well as I did in 3rd grade and I was thought one of best readers But he also reads French And Chinese in Bomopho(?) AND the original characters. Plays the violin - and not just childishly Also the Recorder and I gave him some chess lessons. He already knew how to play chess but I was teaching him end plays. I quickly realized that if I could continue to teach him for six months that I would not be able to beat him. Age 6. Our hopes are always in the next generations. I hope there is a next generation. Also visited the Wright Patterson Air Force Museum. I would put it in one of the top 10 man made wonders of the world. Perhaps in the top five. Intersection of I-75 and I-70 in Ohio. Over a million visitors each year. Had to park so far out I suggested to the people in the car next to me that they should offer helicopter shuttle in. Miles of walking also once inside the giant hangers. Exhibits start with full scale model of Wright brother's airplane. (Crashed 34 times after first successful flight). The development in the next 4 years was amazing. Wheels instead of skids. Seats for two pilots. Dual engines. Within ten years: Enclosed cockpits Instruments Marvelous air tunnels for engineering. From 10 year generation to 10 year generation watching the improvements. It all happened in 100 years. Up to the U-2 The B-1 The B-2 Go anywhere in the world and return Carry more destructive force than ALL the weapons used in WW2. The Argentina (actually built in Argentina). The first jet (German) Doolittle's bomber Boxcar - the actual B-29 used to drop the bomb on Nagasaki. So much to see one could spend days there. Gives one pause to think. We paused for three hours. Also visited the Neil Armstrong Museum on the way back. Space is the next military frontier. The battle is being joined there. The Russians and Chinese mean to be SERIOUS contenders. It is still 'who holds the high ground'. Einstein could be wrong - the war after might not be fought with sticks and stones. There might not be left anything after. BUT - we are promised that those days will be shortened, or not even the very elect would survive. I do not know who the elect will be - nor that I am one of them - because we all die anyway, and I am getting up there in years. STILL - if there is to be a future it is going to have to be much different from the present. With more and more nuclear bombs in the world countries can't run around throwing them at each other like they were rocks. So, what has changed - while I have been gone. I must tell you, not much anything for the better. Immorality is on the Increase to such an extent that while a couple of raunchy disc jockeys have been fired - the Super Bowl Sex and the San Francisco homosexual / lesbian celebrations have made Sodom and Gomorrah look like a Puritan Picnic. At least that would be one Al Qaedian perception of America. No church going male of 50 years ago could possibly have sat through a night of what is now called prime time sitcom TV. How much all of this and drugs destroys the soul of America few comprehend. I am providing here a visual picture of the destruction of a soul. http://www.webpal.org/soul.jpg The dates on the pictures are hard to read - it starts at 4-12-83 and progresses 8-31-83, 4-2-85, 4-12-85, 7-4-85, 10-12-85, 12-18-85, ?-86, 7-19-86, 11-1-87?, 5-10-89, 4-11-97 Yes America, legalize: cigarettes alcohol drugs abortion porn homosexuality because the above is a picture of what is happening to the American soul. Those 'possessed' cannot see what 'possesses' them. A child raised in a family that does not smoke or drink - is much less likely to smoke or drink. A person who smokes is more likely to try 'soft' drugs. A person who uses 'soft' drugs is more likely to try hard drugs. And so both the individual and the society go down the slippery slope. America is blind. I am not the only one that sees it. Several prominent people and sources have announced in the last month that the nuclear threat is now the highest it has ever been. Hidden, along with the blindness to immorality, in the cellars of American's minds. The following link should be carefully read. http://www.nypress.com/17/7/news&columns/feature.cfm Few people are aware of what is written there. You are probably one of the few. America as a society is addicted to the drugs of pride and power. It is the 'number one' pusher in the world in the selling of weapons of destruction to the rest of the world. The actions of no street gun dealer in Detroit compare in that immorality. Gone for a month. Now back. Now this. As I said - I paused to think. Enough for this time.

That would be important news if you were Pakistan. ------------- Notice posted on wall - where I stopped to see about Kansas ID. "If you are a male between 17 and 25 and accept a driver's license you will be automatically registered for the draft." That should be important news to young males wanting driver's licenses - (and also their mommies and daddies). -------------- The Pentagon has ordered all 10,000 draft board positions filled by the end of June. Likewise the 1,000 Appeal Board positions. That should also seem important to the males between 17 and 25. --------------- Tens of thousands of National Guard Soldiers have been alerted that they will be called up in the next 90 days. This should be important news to the wives of any of them that are married - and who are concerned about family budgets. --------------- Numbers of US military organizations are being moved into position to strike in Northern Pakistan. OBL will consider that important news - as well as will Pakistani Rebels. --------------- Millions of Taiwanese demonstrating for Taiwanese independence last week. China will consider that important news. --------------- US says North Korea may not be that big a threat and that the discussions have gone well with it. Russia, China, Japan and everyone else involved in the talks feel the opposite - and they will really think it important to understand why the US is saying the opposite. --------------- China announced in its legislature this week that it has increased its military spending by 70% since the year 2000. If it continues the increases at the present rate within a year and a half it will be spending double each year what it spent in the year 2000. I do not know if that includes what they are spending on their space program - which they (like the US) of course say is for peaceful purposes. At the same time - China has greatly reduced its land army and is greatly increasing its military efficiency. US Pentagon feels that China greatly UNDER-states its military spending. ------------- China says that North Korea and the US don't trust one another sufficiently. Like maybe the Great Leader of North Korea should let the US provide his body guards like it did for the Catholic priest Arristides who became president of Haiti. We know the US view about North Korean nuclear proliferation. Yep, these are sure two guys who can trust each other. About like Castro feels that he could trust Bush. ------------- And the award this week - for mutual mistrust goes to Pakistan and India. Both are preparing to test their LONG range missiles. I am sure they are both wishing each other success - NOT. ---------------- China, India, Russia, the three biggest nuclear powers other than the US. All with trouble on their borders - China / Taiwan (plus island contentions with Japan and Russia- and border disputes with India) India / Pakistan (plus border disputes with China). Russia / old satellites (plus problems with NATO / Turkey). Things really rockin this week between Israel and the Palestinians. But the guys with immediate trouble are the ones with imminent insurrections in their own countries. Venezuela, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and as if it didn't have enough other problems - again Pakistan. Lots of places astir in that way - throughout Africa, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere. However, there is America, pure and pristine above all this. No neighbors threatening to invade - no rebellion about to overthrow from within - such that if it wanted problems it would have to go elsewhere in the world to look for them. Maybe in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Korea, or it could even get involved in something between China and Taiwan or in the border countries of Russia or maybe even between Israel and Palestine or Syria. A tour of the world is a tour of troubled times. Although free of trouble with its neighbors and within the US can surely find some elsewhere if it looks hard enough. Still, it is possible - that there may be trouble at home. Dollar dips, employment skips, gas price blips, stock market flips, terrorist tips, government image chips, election rips, corporate funding sips, and other quips and zips that can cause sinking ships for the political VIPs. --------- Just a little silliness. Probably like the elections. And now, what I consider important news from myself. A NEW web page.

It took about an hour to go through it with my slow connection - but I think it is worth it. http://vincent.vanscherpenseel.nl/chernobyl/ Initially I had thought to share this information only with the TEAM Leaders and a select few individuals - because I really don't know how to evaluate it. I know that many will misevaluate it - and I don't wish to create a sense of hopelessness. The purpose of my pages are just the opposite. Still, this is some of the best raw information that I have ever come across. It was developed in Russia - where it is apparently no longer available but it was fortunately mirrored in the US so that we still have it. It appears to be totally objective - first hand - current - and (for me) incomprehensible. Here is a young / modern / typical (age 26) Russian girl with her powerful motorcycle excellent camera excellent radiation detection equipment freedom to move about freedom to comment as she does access to the Internet freedom to publish on the Internet. (What does THAT tell you of your perceptions of Russia - and how likely do you think that you would be permitted to do the same in a similar zone in the US?) Her father is a knowledgeable scientist - and his fear for her is not because of the radiation - but as he says - her riding about in fifth gear - and as she says - red-lining the tachometer. Such would be the fear also of this grandfather. A land of desolation. For me - new meaning for the word. The effects of radiation - 18 years afterwards. But much that I can't understand. The escaped horses and the vegetation seems healthy enough - but no signs of dogs, rats, insects, or birds (the silence). The lack of insects - could explain the lack of birds. Insects being closer to the ground could still be relatively affected (and destroyed) by radiation. Rats are the only animal that I have heard of that have the ability to detect radiation and when they do they try to avoid it. Any that might have survived would have departed, hence the wrapped pills on the table remain undisturbed. Dogs are built closer to the ground and their vital organs get more radiation, so they don't survive as well as horses. This is why it is important to carry children on one's shoulders when walking through contaminated areas. Wanting to start a new animal population? Good place to import giraffes :-) And they won't have wolf or other canine predators. The higher vegetation is the better. Still, I wonder about the horses. What is their longevity? Radiation affects over time. The horses are grazing on low vegetation. Depends on their breeding cycle. Come to maturity and reproduction age soon enough to be self repopulating - but may still have shorter than normal life spans. I don't know. So many questions that I would like to ask. So much that I couldn't understand. I couldn't read the Russian map. I couldn't understand the radiation figures on the map or anywhere. Micro-rads? On the map and elsewhere. Are these what we call mille-rads? One of the reasons that I am hesitant to share this information - because so many people have no comprehension of the difference between a R and a mille-R. There is a world of difference. That is why her father worried about sending her only 800 miles away - when she was 8 years old - but doesn't worry about her going there now. Still, they are saying - that the land won't be occupiable for 900 years. What does that mean? People (small children and all) could now live in those new high rises - that were built but never occupied. Anything over 4 floors above the street, would be perfectly safe from ground level radiation. And one could travel on the asphalt pavement - just as she does - and other areas - such as playgrounds could be decontaminated. The thing that I find most interesting is the vegetation. It is starting to creep in from the curbs, and covers the walk in front of the apartment building with trees beginning to spring up in the middle of the walk. But, for the most part, the streets are clearer than I would have expected after almost 20 years. The vines wrap around the bus stop sign - but the cars and helicopters are still uncovered. The trees do look very healthy. So, is this what the aftermath of a nuclear war would look like? No, not at all. Nuclear bombs are designed to cause physical destruction. The devastation from the blast and the firestorm for miles out - will not leave pictures like these of an immense ghost city untouched with the barges sitting intact at the docks. And the residual radiation in most places will be substantially different. The effects on the people will be quite different also. In this case the father sent his daughter away - but the masses of the people were not told the immensity of the tragedy they were facing. Because of rumor - they began to flee the area seven or eight days later - when it was too late for tens of thousands of them. Would your government tell you - that a biological attack had been unleashed? (Oh, I know they threaten you with the fear.) Would you be told that a nuclear strike is imminent? (Where would people in New York or any other city go anyway?) This was only an isolated incidence. Gigantic, but like the Chicago Fire or the San Francisco earthquake - it was local - and people had places to flee to, and there was outside help that could come to help with recovery. None of that would be true in a nuclear war. The effects on the individuals - severe as they were - being scooped up and told that they had to leave EVERYTHING behind - (money, family pictures, wallets, jewelry, passports, identification papers, ABSOLUTELY Everything) and were taken where they were showered and decontaminated and stood as naked as they came from their mother's womb - with no money, no property, no job, and having to start completely over but with no mother or father to look over them, still this was not as bad as the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who were immediately separated from their families by the blast - surviving children in schools being taken one way - surviving parents at work going another - no home or place to return to - and never seeing each other again (some occasionally finding each other still 60 years later). Even in Japan - the destruction was not that universal. The majority of places were untouched. The crops were undamaged - and there was food for the survivors - for the next year. A walk in the park - compared to an all-out nuclear war. I have not begun to describe the planet-wide catastrophes that may accompany the GREAT Catastrophe when it occurs. But, many people say that I shouldn't, and perhaps they are right. Is this the way the world will be - after The Great Catastrophe. No, it will in some ways be better, and in other ways much worse. The social disruption and anarchy - was not involved in this event, and the Divine Retribution may have other things planned that are presently incomprehensible - but, while fallout radiation can well cover North America in a matter of a few hours or a few days - in such intensity that it will kill most people without shelter - still after a month a great many areas will be recoverable. My purpose is not to strike a sense of hopelessness, but rather a sense of the need of urgency to prepare. Work for peace, people say. Too late. Mankind has turned aside from God and the Divine Wrath cometh. I work now on plans for Reconstruction, Recovery, and Renewal. Fool! How many, many times I hear that each week. Few that can bear to hear my message. Fewer still that can understand it. Far fewer still that will act upon it. I have thought not to warn further - but there - I have gone and done it again. Come to the Ark!

"The deployment of a Navy destroyer in the Sea of Japan will coincide with the U.S. military's plan to put on alert several ground-based interceptor missiles at Fort Greely, Alaska, by September." Why does the destroyer 'coincide' with the missiles? Because the destroyer does the targeting for the missiles. And why are the missiles there? Not because of North Korea - but because they are the defense against Russia and China for the new Alaskan 225 Antenna HAARP Range that is to come on-line in October. And why does the US say to China - "We are not going to let you go to the moon"? Because that is the High Ground that could knock out the HAARP Range? And why would Russia or China want to knock out the HAARP Range? Because he who controls HAARP controls the world. Literally - not figuratively. By that I don't mean that they control it militarily. By that I don't mean that they control it economically. By that I don't mean that they control it socially. By that I don't mean that they control it monetarily. By that I mean that they control it literally, because they would control the weather. He who controls the weather - also controls the world, militarily, economically, socially, monetarily, completely. With HAARP they are supposed to be able to affect the Ionosphere and move the jet streams about at will - determining drought or floods wherever desired in the world. Even if they can't - it will make everyone mad at them, because they will blame their bad weather on them. The weather will never satisfy everyone. One person will want picnic and parade when another is wanting their crops watered. One will want more snow for the slopes of their ski resort while another is wanting to cut back on the snow removal costs. One man's flood causes another man's drought. (You stole all the rain out of our clouds!) Boy! Want to make the world mad at you - control the weather. But aside from that little side effect - the Russians and Chinese greatest fear is that the US is about to make a technological breakthrough that will allow it to control the world - in every way- and once it is in place - there will be no stopping it. September, you say. (Missiles ready). October, you say. (HAARP ready). November, you say. (Election already). Then the Chinese and Russians think - well, if Bush wins in November - there is no stopping him - "Look out - rest of the Axis of Evil". Regime change in North Korea. Regime change in North Iran. Regime change in Cuba. Regime change in -----. Where do you draw the line? But, if it looks like Bush might lose in November - then maybe something 'pre-emptive' on his part might be in order in October. A real October surprise. It is best to pre-empt the pre-empt. So better for Bush to be ready in September. And the pre-empt for that would be August. Nope - I don't think anyone is going to do anything - intentionally. But circumstances build. What is going to be happening in Iraq? Will everything settle down there - and the bombings cease - and the Americans quietly leave by June 30th? I don't think so. Meanwhile - over there in Israel / Palestine - will things just get calmer and calmer, now that they have gotten rid of the Hamas leader? I don't think so. And of course, North Korea could just roll over like Kadaffi. But, I don't think so. Afghanistan and Pakistan (and India) - may just all become sweetness and light- and a dozen other such situations about the world may all just smooth out - but - on the other hand - they may not, and any one of them could start a local conflict that could escalate and bring in the Big Boys, who could possibly conclude - it is now - or never. There ARE people among those countries' military leadership who have said that they think that way. So, I am not saying a thought - that no one else has thought. To me - this is the RISK. Forget - suitcase nukes - train station terrorists - homeland defense and all the rest. But - it makes no difference what I think - the question is - what do the Russians and Chinese think. What do they think - that Bush thinks. Forget about what Bush thinks - the important thing is what the Russians and Chinese think - that Bush thinks. But of course to you - it is a matter of what you think. Do you think that HAARP is real? You might be interested to know that it is patented. Patent numbers 4,686,605 and 5,038,664 You can read about the patents here: http://tinyurl.com/3xgay And for the 1990 original description of HF ACTIVE AURORAL RESEARCH PROGRAM (HAARP) look at: http://www.earthpulse.com/haarp/haarp20010102.html Just one more thing for most people to not worry about. Your government knows best and is looking out for you. Or not.

There is a possibility for us to get a government grant that would allow us to greatly expand our CD program. Through this grant we could get a CD into every public library and to the editors of all the community newspapers. Whether we can get the grant or not - we will still try to improve what we are doing. Thunderlight is giving us some great guidance in applying for the grant. We appreciate all the help that we can get from anyone and everyone. Richard Fleetwood has offered to make us a SPECIAL CD - and many of you may also have some special information to add to it. We will talk more about that - as time presses on. And time does press on - because we have less than thirty days in which to prepare and submit the application. One peculiarity of the application is that it is being done through a government seniors' program and the project needs / must be conducted by seniors. (Those age 55 and over.) Don't stop reading - if you are just a 'young' person because we greatly need your help in setting this up. We can use any existing TEAM Leaders who are 55 and over - (although we don't know their ages at the moment) but where they are younger we need them to be joined by a senior coordinator. SO - if you are a younger TEAM Leader, or a younger reader of this newsletter - start looking for someone in your state who will be a senior coordinator. If you are older - please just let me know right away so that we can start keeping a record. If you are 55 or over - no matter where you live - please let us know that you will be a senior coordinator. The MORE the better. Ideally we would have at least one in every American City - but we HAVE to have one in every US State. The details of all this still have to be worked out in the next couple of weeks. We plan to get a web page set up for each state. This will list the coordinators for that state and its communities, plus other important information - that is aimed at community preparedness for terrorist attack. If anyone can give any special help in setting up a model web page - please let me know. The plan at the moment is that the CDs will be mass produced, and sent to the senior coordinator with labels and postage for mailing in the local area. The senior coordinator will simply need to drop them in the mail and to be the contact and spokesperson for the area. We haven't set up on a definite project name as yet. The sponsoring 501 (c) (3) organization will be Higher Faith - but the project and the web pages we create (on a server in each state - so one state will not be affected by a terrorist attack in another) could be something like: Defend_America_Statename.org We need an acronym for the local senior project coordinator It could be something like: SCOOP - (Senior Coordinator Of Overall Preparedness) or SCAM - (Senior Coordinator And Manager - just kidding). Senior doesn't need to be the first word - but the idea needs to be conveyed in there somewhere. Maybe you have a better idea - for the project name and coordinators and we would sure like to hear about it. Never before have I asked hundreds of you to write to me all at once - but if you are 55 or over - please do so RIGHT NOW and tell me where you are. This is serious business. We don't know that we will get the grant - or even be determined eligible - but it is worth the try. For one thing we still have to get a DUNS number in this short time - and if anyone has any insight into doing that- please let me know. Anyway, think of how you would feel if you knew that you had the possibility to really save lives by helping teach people to prepare - but that then you didn't do it. Email me at the address below. Please do NOT just hit reply on your email as it goes directly to the newsletter server and causes all sorts of problems for me to get it off.

He had just received a call from a colleague who told him that their facility has just completed formal verification that an asteroid will hit the earth - in the year 2010. This is the FIRST time - that science has allowed us to have such an advance warning. When the four or five chunks plowed into Jupiter a while back - there were loads of telescopes trained on it. The lady astronomer who first calculated that - did an amazing job - and that was the first time that we had ever observed such a thing in our solar system. Now - comes our rock. It is not anything like the eight mile long piece that is supposed to pass one quarter of the way to the moon - on September 29th, and which conspiracy theorists speculate that is what we are getting ready to try to intercept from Alaska (because otherwise, and supposedly the government hasn't told us) that it is actually going to hit the earth. Nope, I don't go along with that and the Planet X dates. But back to 2010. This one is about 20 meters (60 feet) long and will oblate at least 20% before hitting (who knows where on the earth). Still, it will be the biggest that we have ever actually witnessed or predicted. It is supposed to be coming in very steep, which will mean very hard - and if it hit a city it would be like a super H-bond for force, and if it hits a body of water it will create gigantic tidal waves. But, we have no idea of where it will hit. It is amazing - that science can now predict something that small - that far out - which is another reason that I am not much of a Planet X believer. Like I said - so far no public announcement - and we will have to watch whether there is one or not. There was a big scandal about a month or two ago about astronomers in England wishing to announce the possibility of an impact, before sufficient others were able to check their calculations. The heavens and the earth are astir. First (some say - although it is disputed) hurricane ever in the South Atlantic (that hit Brazil - last week -) variously blamed on the slowing of the Atlantic Gulf Stream Conveyor Belt, global warming - ozone depletion and all that - HAARP weather experimentation - and the shifting of the Jet Streams - which may be causing a current heat wave in California - and who knows how the earths interior plasma core currents are affecting the Yellowstone heat-up above one of the world's few super volcanoes. Mother earth and the heavens don't appear to be happy. Nevertheless, it is the doings of men that have me more concerned. Putin pondering about Russia's new weapons - Bush HAARPING about readiness in Alaska - UN Atomic Energy Commission's findings in Iran - and now - if the rumors are true, (this also from a private source - and has not been announced - or verified) that Syria has shipped to three Islamic countries missiles from North Korea actually married to war heads from Pakistan. These are NOT weapons that could reach the US but they sure could upset things in the Middle East - with Israel and all. Also announced yesterday - a number of missiles (not nuclear) in former USSR satellites have gone missing. This all topped by political pressures in the US Iraq and Israel (Sharon maybe about to be charged with corruption). The world is bubbling and boiling - like Yellowstone - but I am trying to stay focused on solutions. Please - we really need your help. At the moment - our PRIORITY is to fill out the SAVER TEAM LEADER list on http://www.webpal.org/safe.htm If you see there a state listed in YELLOW - PLEASE help us to find someone - age 55 or older to fill the slot. This could be someone that you know- that does not have a computer - that you could handle their emails for them. WHATEVER! This is URGENT! Please help! Contact me at: bruce@webpal.org Please also send to me at the same above email address ANY suggestions that you have about this project. As of yet - nothing is set in stone - not even the name. If you have volunteered as a state coordinator - and someone else is listed - not to worry about it - because we just took people on a first come basis and we will eventually assign the others to their cities on those state's web pages. Many thanks to all of you who have helped so far - and please do critique - http://www.webpal.org/safe.htm and what we are doing so far.

I was saying- or trying to say - as much as the heavens may be astir - I think our greater problems are right here on earth. Anyway - I guess I had better give you the continuing updates and sagas on the asteroid stories, since so many people seem to be interested. In the first place - I think I got the September distance backwards. If I understand correctly what I read - (I went back and looked it up) it is not one forth the distance to the moon but rather four times the moon's distance - which in astronomical measurement is considered Ouite Close! Especially for something thought to be over a mile long! (The eight miles that I remembered- was also faulty.) Anyway - here is what I have on that, without going on the Internet to check it out further. "One of the largest known PHAs is Toutatis, an asteroid that is nearly a mile (1.6 km) long. No other PHA larger than 0.6 miles (one km) has been found that moves around the Sun in an orbit so nearly coplanar -- inclined less than half a degree -- with Earth's, extending from just inside Earth's orbit to a point deep within the Main Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. On September 29, 2004, Toutatis will pass just four Lunar distances from Earth, which is closer than any other known PHA over the next 30 years." Meanwhile, back at the ranch - this in from my astrophysicist friend - shortly after I wrote to you -- ------------------------ "The Daily Orbit Update from the Minor Planet Center carries observations of 2004 FU4 from the Spacewatch 1.8m telescope yesterday morning and from KLENOT in the Czech Republic early today. Both NEODyS and JPL today have lowered their ratings on an October 2010 impact solution, now putting it at Torino Scale 0 (TS-0, "no likely consequences"). NEODyS has cut its solution count for 2004 FU4 from 24 to six, and considerably lowered its overall risk ratings for this object. Meanwhile, JPL, looking 24 years beyond the NEODyS 2080 time horizon, increased its solution count from six to 27 and still has one solution rated at TS-1 (a routine alert that an object "merits special monitoriting") in 2085. Beyond that, however, JPL has also lowered its overall risk ratings for this object that it estimates at about a half-mile (0.86 km.) wide." http://www.hohmanntransfer.com/news.htm Also see: http://www.hohmanntransfer.com/crt.htm On the other hand: Latest size estimate has just been greatly INCREASED .... to about 860 meters/yards Latest speed estimate has also been slightly INCREASED ... to 13.70 km/sec I just recontacted my friend that I got the earlier call from. His response ... nothing but the rhetoric has changed. Their impact solutions still stand, even if JPL refuses to 'acknowledge' them. 2 other confirmation pages ..... First is from JPL for all asteroids that have a possible impact solution. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/ Note that the closer to zero, the more likely the impact. Please note that this asteroid still tops the list. Second is from NEODyS: http://newton.dm.unipi.it/cgi-bin/neodys/neoibo?objects:2004FU4;risk Look at dates ..... hour in GMT can be calculated by multiplying the decimal ending by 24 - as example: first entry means 0830 GMT on 25 October 2010. -------------- So - what does all this mean? Beats me. Just that- a lot of people seem to be a lot more concerned about what is happening in the heavens than what is happening on earth - and that was my point - which to quote myself - "Nevertheless, it is the doings of men that have me more concerned." I just wish people would get as excited about my new project as they seem to be about a piece of rock 50 ft long, or whatever, that MIGHT hit the earth in 2010.

We really need to hear from any senior (age 55 or over) on this list that lives in: *Alaska *Connecticut *Hawaii *Illinois *Kansas *Kentucky *Louisiana *Nevada *New Hampshire *North Dakota *South Carolina *South Dakota *Vermont *Virginia *West Virginia For details of what we are doing look at: www.webpal.org/safe/ -------------- Rocks on my mind. Or at least in my email. So many people worrying about asteroids. I am not one of them. But anyway here is an interesting picture - of what one would do if it hit New York. www.webpal.org/nycrater.jpg That is an actual crater out in Arizona superimposed on NY. The meteorite probably hit about 50,000 years ago. For more about the crater you can look at: http://www.barringercrater.com/science/ The meteorite that created the crater was 150 feet across, weighed roughly 300,000 tons, and was traveling at a speed of 40,000 miles per hour. The force generated by its impact was equal to the explosion of 20 million tons of TNT. Or what we would call a 20MT nuclear bomb. Mind you, even without being a nuclear bomb - the force of the impact and then winds rushing outwards would not have left any of those buildings standing for five or ten miles around the crater - and the destruction would have extended for many more miles outwards. The crater itself is nearly a mile wide, and 570 feet deep. Same with a nuclear bomb. The real issue is - how likely is New York to be hit by a meteor - versus how likely is it to be hit by a nuclear bomb? It is possible that a meteor could sneak up on us- if it came from the right direction. On March 8, one the size of an 18-story building, passed about as close as the moon. In astronomical terms that was as close to being a hit as someone zagging 10ft in front of you when you are doing 80 on the freeway. What is intriguing about this story is that no astronomers spotted the rock until four days AFTER it flew by. Happens all the time. On Jan. 7, an asteroid the size of three football fields came within two lunar distances and was spotted only a month before. There are lots that we never see. Some astronomers estimate about 25 pass even closer each year - that we never see. This is nothing new. It has been going on forever. I have seen an estimate that your chances of death by asteroid are about the same as dying in a plane crash, roughly 1-in-20,000 during your lifetime. I consider that estimate to be HIGHLY exaggerated. Anyway, you're MUCH more liable to be electrocuted to death (1-in-5000 chance), or succumb to skin cancer or be killed in a car crash. Some say asteroids pose more risk than tornadoes (1-in-60,000 chance), rattlesnake bites or food poisoning. I wouldn't worry about it. However, just because you have never known a thing to happen doesn't mean it can't happen. There never has been a nuclear war - in all the written history of the world. (Just a couple of little atomic bombs - so those don't count). But still doesn't mean that it can't happen- because nuclear weapons have only been around for about 50 years. THAT is the difference! People pick and choose what they worry about. Most people don't worry about asteroids. Many do worry about cancer - or someone coming into their home and killing them. There is much lower probability about both of those - and especially the latter - as compared to the 1-in-100 chance of dying in an automobile. You really should worry about getting into a car. Or in my paradigm about being killed in a nuclear war. That is how I think that most of present occupants of the earth - will depart. But then that is why people call me a fool. Okay, so I don't worry about earthquakes, volcanoes, asteroids, and tornadoes (except on stormy nights when I am in Kansas). And the reason is that I feel we are more at danger from man than from Nature. What are the odds? ---------------------- The odds of an asteroid hitting a large city are said to about 1-in-20 over the next 50 years, or if my calculations based on that are correct- once in a thousand years. I STILL think that is an exaggeration. Anyhow, here are the most official predictions from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Science Forum Workshop on Near Earth Objects: Risks, Policies and Actions January 20-22, 2003 Their data - but converted to my figures, and often my examples. How Big: 30 feet diameter How Often: Once every 20 years Nuclear Equivalent: 10 Hiroshima bombs. Effect: Extraordinary explosion in sky; broken windows, but little major damage on ground. How Big: 90 feet diameter How Often: Once every 250 years Nuclear Equivalent: 2MT nuclear bomb (standard size) Effect: Devastating explosion in stratosphere. shock wave topples trees, wooden structures and ignites fires within 10 km; many deaths likely if in populated region. (But not likely in populated area in the past). How Big: 300 feet diameter How Often: Once every 10,000 years Nuclear Equivalent: 80 MT nuclear bomb (bigger than any actual weapon although Russians tested 50MT) Effect: regionally devastating. Shallow crater approximately 1 km across. In the category of the picture I have provided. How Big: 900 feet diameter (like 3 football fields) How Often: Once every 50,000 years Nuclear Equivalent: 2000 MT nuclear bomb - (or a hundred BIG nuclear bombs which - scattered around - would do a lot more damage.) Effect: Crater approx. 4 miles across devastation of area the size of a small nation, or ocean-wide tsunami. How Big: 3,000 feet diameter (we are now talking over a mile wide) How Often: Once every 500,000 years Nuclear Equivalent: 80,000 MT nuclear bomb Effect: Crater approx. 4 miles across Destruction of entire region (e.g., Europe) or ocean rim. Potential global climate disruption. How Big: 30,000 feet diameter (over 10 miles wide) How Often: Once in hundreds of millions years (more like in many billions of years) Nuclear Equivalent: 80,000,000 MT nuclear bomb (or like 10 million nuclear weapons) Effect: Global catastrophe. Possible mass extinctions. Well, cockroaches are pretty good at surviving such things. ------------------- But - lets get realistic folks. Who of you expect to be around even 10,000 years to see even one like that crater picture? I know, I know - any of you Jehovah Witnesses expect to live on the earth forever - but 10,000 years is twice as long as recorded history. But back to the beginning of all this. The closest asteroid ever recorded to pass by the Earth was discovered on Monday March 15th. Asteroid 2004 FH, was only 30 metres across, and flew past the Earth at a distance of only 43,000 km - about one fourth the distance to the Moon. Objects of this size are believed to pass the Earth once every two years or so, but they're usually undetected. http://tinyurl.com/2wpmx ---------------- Of fools and folly. Herbert Spencer, wrote 'The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to people the world with fools,' [I found the famous quote 386 times with a google search!] The problem is: in determining what was foolish - until one sees the effects of the folly. To many people I seem very foolish - and if there is no nuclear war very soon - then my having put all my eggs in the one financial basket of the Ark Two may well prove them right. Didn't plan it that way - no more than anyone plans to lose the farm. You just keep planting crops and hope for a good season - (or I guess in this case expect a bad season) but if it never comes - then you lose the farm. Most business managers play it out in the same way. You have ten million invested in the business, and it will take $100,000 to stave off the bank until that big order comes. So, you mortgage your home - and you are down to your last ten thousand dollars. It always seems a better chance - than a lottery ticket. But every business ends. Most by going broke. They were good - but now they are bust. Social Darwinism, Spencer's forte - survival of the fittest - culling of the herd - the old, sick and decrepit always die. My, I am in a dark mood today. Comes from living life on the edge. The old Chinese curse of: "May you live in exciting times". Wrote the other day to my son in Taiwan, "It is one thing to live in exciting times - it is another to live in exciting places. From Tiaminen to Taiwan - you appear to have a penchant for this." Well, at least he is not in Iraq this week. ------------- And important things last.

Hasn't shown up on my Yahoo news page - so I guess maybe it isn't going to. That probably means that it is not going to be on your TV news either. Hard to believe - but then maybe - it is THAT important. Before I get to that. Something important to me. Just nine states left. PLEASE - if you know someone 55 or older in one of those states - PLEASE get them to help. The 9 states are: *Alaska *Hawaii *Louisiana *Nevada *New Hampshire *North Dakota *Vermont *Virginia *West Virginia For details of what we are doing look at: www.webpal.org/safe/ -------------- And now - back to the news. This is something that I am going to have to REALLY explain. I haven't heard my interpretation from anyone else - and I don't know of anyone else who believes it. There are many who are going to say that I am wrong. But - if I am right, then this is where you first heard it. The story starts back over a quarter of a millennium ago. Here is my interview of the principal. The Interview is fictitious - but the facts are true. Dawn: Tell me Mr. R, how long have you been in the business. R. My great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grand pappy started it back in 1743. His name was Amshall Moses Bower, but he changed to our name today. Dawn: So you have been in this commodity business for over 250 years - over a quarter of a millennium but now you are getting out of it? R. Yep. Dawn: So business is bad? R. Well, we are not making money like we used to. Dawn: So, you are losing money? R. Well, not exactly. We still make a few million per month. Dawn: So have you run out of the commodity? R. Well no. We still have lots of it on hand. Dawn: I am told that you have had quite a bit. Enough to have bought out the King of England at one time and a couple of times you even paid off the debts of the United States. R. Well, that is true, but I feel that that we have better things to do with our time and money now. Dawn: It seems to me that the King and the US were very appreciative of what you did - and didn't they give you a monopoly over the price of the commodity? R. Well, that is true also - but you know, times change and I feel that it is time to move on. Dawn: So what are you going to do now? R. Well, from now on our main business is going to be in giving investment advice. Dawn: So, what kind of advice would you be following yourself - are you going to be putting your money into stocks, real estate, government bonds, or what? R. I would have to charge you for the advice, of course, and I doubt that you could afford it. Dawn: Yep, I guess you are right about that. But, tell me - when you sell all of your commodity and get out of this commodity business - that is going to make a mighty big heap of cash isn't it? And I guess, since you have so much of it, that it is really going to drive the price of the commodity down. R. I didn't say we were going to sell it. Dawn: Oh, you just aren't going to buy any more. R. No, I didn't say that either. Dawn: Uhhhh - I missed something. What did you say? R. I just said that we weren't going to trade it any more and fix its price anymore. Dawn: Uh huh? R. Well, it has just become a bother. Dawn: But, but, but after that many centuries and all that prestige with all the governments of the world, and all the banks of the world that your business is now going to be giving them advice - don't you think you could have put up with a little bother - even if it did make you only a few millions per month? R. You just don't understand business. Dawn: I guess not. -------------- The interview is fictitious but the facts are true. R wouldn't give me the time of day - leave alone an interview. R is of course David de Rothschild chairman of N.M. Rothschild & Sons, the most prestigious bank in the world and still owned by its founding family - and the commodity is GOLD. Yesterday, on my birthday April 14th, 2004, David shocked the financial world when he announced that after 261 years the bank was no longer going to be trading in gold or set its price as it has done twice daily it its offices since 1919. The story that I have told you is true - and you can check it out for yourself at: http://tinyurl.com/2bjzn ------------- More important than the facts - are the reasons - and this is where you are in danger of following Bruce off the deep end. You see, my theory is - the handwriting is on the wall and the world monetary system is about to collapse. The price of gold is about to skyrocket - and if you are a good Jewish Banker, the one responsible for setting its price - you don't want to be sitting in that musical chair - when the music stops. Money becomes worthless - and gold becomes - well, as good as gold. Okay, so this is just a crazy old economics professor talking. But, that is the reason that I see for chucking it all in after 261 years - and closing your great, great, great, great, great, great ---well you get the idea, grand pappy's business. Heck, my ma would have shot me if I had just sold great grand pappy's gold watch. But things are different when it comes to billions of bullion. Not that anyone is getting rid of that - either. --------------- Okay, enough of that story. And just to make sure that life isn't dull - another of almost equal - maybe even more importance in a different sphere of the world's activities. This one from today's Moscow Times. Seems like our Russian friends, (and our Chinese, North Korean, and others of those persuasions) are going to be a bit upset with the latest Bush Boys Bomb Blast. Turns out that this one is going to be in space. Scheduled for this summer. All that talk about space being free of weaponry - goes down (or maybe I should say up) the tubes along with such ideas as no first strike. Read all about it here: http://tinyurl.com/2ukmv I could talk at length about this story - but you all have heard me go on about such things before, and this newsletter has gotten too long without my even going into the latest Bush / Sharon shenanigans. Oh, indeed, it is interesting times we live in and as I told you some weeks ago when there was a bit of a lull and all the troops were being brought back from Iraq - that things would start getting more interesting from April 15th forward. So here we are. -------------- And important things last.

So, this is from a North Korean news source and if you choose not to believe for that reason - then that is your standard. http://www.kcna.co.jp/item/2004/200404/news04/26.htm#6 Meaning the 6th article down the page: KPA to Take Necessary Measure against U.S. Unilateral Action One fellow wrote to me last week all in fury (demanding to be removed from my mailing list) because in my previous newsletter I had quoted from the 'communist' Moscow Times and a 'socialist' British newspaper. So, if you feel that truth can only be found in the free American media then you may have to wait on this story until they print it or let you know that it is false. What makes an old guy like me suspicious that it is true is that I can remember the Bay of Pigs. There was Castro, hopping up and down saying the US is getting ready to invade Cuba, shouting it over and over. And then there was President Kennedy, our own American president - who surely in the tradition of George Washington, couldn't tell a lie - saying - "No, no, no - we have no plans like that." Also before that, Eisenhower saying - "We have no - 'N' 'O' (spelling it out) U2s flying over Russia." Old Khrushchev had Powers in his pocket when he asked Ike the question. So - make of this what you will. I told you weeks, months ago - that the US was moving its main forces back from the DMZ in Korea. Well, now the Koreans say the US has violated the agreement by moving EVERY US soldier away. It leaves them with no one to talk to over the red phone - except for the South Korean military - and they see this as a sign the US is about to bomb them. Nah - the US wouldn't do that - not with China right next door, unless - it had made some agreement with China. But, the US couldn't do that could they? Four other interesting pieces of news this week. 1. A high US government official told Taiwan that there is no guarantee that the US will defend Taiwan in case of a conflict. 2. China cancelled free elections in Hong Kong. This caused no break in diplomatic ties with the US. 3. A number of admirals stated that carrier based systems are no longer defensible. 4. The New York Times editorialized that a draft may be necessary and will be accepted by the US public if necessity proves to be the situation, after the next US presidential election. I do not begin to know the meaning of all this and will make no predictions whatsoever. My predictions usually turn out wrong anyway. Gold went DOWN last week. The opposite of what I thought was going to happen - with the Rothschild move. I have no idea as to who is setting its price now. As the song says: "I wonder who is fixing her now?" And then there is Sharon - doing his 'give up the territories' thing, and I have absolutely no idea why or where that is going, but I suspect definitely not where it appears on the surface. Meanwhile, over in Iraq, the reports are so conflicting that I haven't a clue as to what is going on. We are moving out (by June 30th) - We are moving in (more troops on the way). Casualties are high. Casualties are low. Depending on who you listen too. Well yes, not many US soldiers killed - because of modern medical care. Better flack protection - helicoptered off to a trauma ward - rotated back to Germany or US - and no one ever sees them, or knows how many how seriously hurt. If they don't die on the spot - they don't count, and because their buddies don't want to give up on them - some who are really dead are flown out to trauma units and so they are not counted as casualties - so the story is. There are also a lot of private contractors, paid mercenaries if you will, doing 'security service' work. They don't count either. Certainly not the one's who are Iraqis. So, really no telling what the toll is - or maybe that is just because I am skeptical of the media. We especially are not keeping a body count on Iraqis, kids, women or whatever. Not a BIG war. And I am not knocking it. Certainly nothing like what a nuclear exchange would cause. So, who am I to say - if it is for good or bad. US military saying this week that re-enlistment goals are exceeding target. Now what does that tell you? Everyone is enthused about getting back to the fight? Or that: a. job opportunities are not very great elsewhere b. the targets are actually quite low (no one told me what percentages they were shooting for or are obtaining.) c. that the military is being downsized because it is no longer about massive movements of major troops but is rather about high technology. As poorly paid - as you hear about the military being paid - still that is the best opportunity many have. It may be that more will have the opportunity - with the draft. Why a draft if you are downsizing? Beats me - but some say - to take care of the tedious tasks and to make things better for the career professionals. You draft and rotate through the guys to do KP and garbage detail. So, back to Korea. (Somehow - things keep getting hung up - even my discussion - over there in the middle east.) It is just unimaginable that any deal could be made - with China where China would say - "Okay, you take care of North Korea, because we don't really like having another nuclear power next door anyway, and we will straighten back out Hong Kong and Taiwan in our mutual 'one China policy'. And, oh yes, settle Japan back down, with all that talk over there of their developing nuclear missiles." Ooops. I just imagined it. I am always going and thinking - the unthinkable. The 'unthinkable' - that is a code word for nuclear war. While I do think - the unthinkable will occur, I really don't know if the unimaginable is possible.

Interesting concept. All teenage boys are now required to register for the draft - if thy apply for a driver's license. This does not, so far, apply to females. I guess this all do depend on how equal they wish to be. Over in Palestine, until just this year - all females were excluded from becoming suicide bombers. But that barrier has been broken - and women are becoming more and more equal. Should gladden the hearts of the women libbers. Some call it going down the slippery slope of equality. However, ladies, before you rush out to register all your daughters for the draft may I ask that you consider also the following suppressed news. >Two weeks ago, 60 Minutes II received an appeal from the Defense Department, and eventually from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Richard Myers, to delay this broadcast -- given the danger and tension on the ground in Iraq. >60 Minutes II decided to honor that request, while pressing for the Defense Department to add its perspective to the incidents at Abu Ghraib prison. This week, with the photos beginning to circulate elsewhere, and with other journalists about to publish their versions of the story, the Defense Department agreed to cooperate in our report. In other words, you would never have heard about it - if it were not for the Internet. They still will not show as much as is on the Internet. And the pictures shown on the Internet are but a small fraction of those that exist. Not that I want to see anymore. Didn't WANT to see the ones I saw. You don't want to see them either - but if you are going to send your girls off to war - then you should look at them and show your daughters what they are getting into. WARNING! WARNING AGAIN! You REALLY don't want to look at this - (or if you do - you ARE sick.) But here is the url: http://www.albasrah.net/images/iraqi-pow/iraqi-pow And the question really is - how prevalent is it? What percentage of this stuff is done on camera? I doubt that every perpetrator says - "Hey, I am about to rape or torture someone- go get your camera." Not one percent. The US shooting of combatants under the white flag - burying them alive with bulldozers taking no prisoners all are known stories - but not from the press. In Vietnam it was My Lai, and the tiger cages. It is the nature of soldiers and of war whether German, Japanese, American, Arab - the world over. Shocked yes. But not surprised. And folks - lets not blame the fellows. Brutish men and all that - women should rule the world. This whole prison operation was done under the command of American women. I don't suggest that you look at the pictures - and you don't need to worry about many of them being on your TV news - but I can tell you - they are certainly going to be on Arab TV news around the world. Arab Internet. Arab Newsletters. Arab Posters. As an Arab - you would have a very difficult time of missing it. Now mind you the Arabs are no better - although do also remember that Jessica Lynch was not badly treated. It is the old clash of cultures thing. "My religion is better than your religion - yah - yah - yah". Believe me, God never meant any religion to be the basis of hate. But, anyway, the cultures are beginning to clash - on the local scene also. When I was a boy - many, many decades ago, we never heard of Muslims. Indeed the average person in my community never heard of them until Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali. Not so today. They are coming out of our ears. Well more exactly- into our ears. To wit: >The City Council of Hamtramck, Michigan, has given preliminary approval to a mosque's plans to send out the Muslim call to prayer on loudspeakers. The Bangladeshi al-Islah mosque wants to air the Arabic call to prayer via loudspeakers five times a day, but has agreed not to air them between 10:00 at night and 6:00 in the morning. >The Detroit suburb's city council is expected to give its final approval at its April 27 meeting; if approved, the ordinance would take effect on May 26. Prayer is important - and the call to prayer is important. More important is tolerance. The ones being intolerant here are the Muslims. This is becoming a conflict everywhere. The church bells in some places have been quieted by By-Law. The carillons can't play Christmas Carols onto the streets. Crosses removed from public property - by Federal Law. (Well, the federal cemeteries still have a few.) Prayers forbidden in schools. Nativity scenes outlawed. The mention of God in the pledge of allegiance challenged. The list goes on. What interests me is where the ACLU is going to appear on this latest one? Mosques are springing up everywhere - and that is good - but churches are outlawed in Saudi Arabia, and Baha'is persecuted - often put to death, in Muslim countries. Muslim parents wish their children to wear headdress in the schools in France, but American soldiers in Saudi Arabia are forbidden to wear a small golden cross that is visible on a chain about their necks. Freedom for Islam. Demonstrate for Islam. Preach in American mosques that Islam is going to completely control. And destroy the centuries old Buddhist statues. Teaching tolerance is best done by example. There is also technology for tolerance. Television allows a variety of TV culture channels. Radio can solve the prayer problem. Let the call to prayer be broadcast over radio. A special channel reserved for that purpose and otherwise quiet. Every Muslim home that wishes one can have a special receiver tuned to that channel and they can receive the call quietly without blasting it out to the neighborhood to those who do not wish hear it. Workers can carry the radios with them - and so can every Muslim bricklayer and traveler thus be reminded when the time for prayer has come. On special occasions, on days of special celebration - there can be more public displays. Chinese New Year's dragon parades, a few Christmas carols broadcast on the streets at Christmas time - or the tolling of bells at Easter, should not offend anyone. We should applaud diversity and cheer each other in their good cheer and spiritual quests. Let all say their prayers in school and take alphabetical turn to present the day's prayer of their choice. I suppose the atheist can make a short statement about the reason they believe there is no God. Show by example - the tolerance and love taught by your Lord. Apparently a difficult concept for many. But invite them to come and explain the Teachings of their Lord on this matter. The exercise may do both of you good.

When I mentioned it as suppressed news it had not yet made the headlines in the USA, but I said about the pictures - to quote - I can tell you - they are certainly going to be on Arab TV news around the world. Arab Internet. Arab Newsletters. Arab Posters. As an Arab - you would have a very difficult time of missing it. I am surprised that they have become as prominent as they have in the USA but I still doubt that for political reasons they have the staying power of the Monica Lewis story.

What did surprise me - was the leaking of several military manuals that showed that the torture was described authorized procedure. Operatives, however admitted, that cases requiring 'serious' torture were forwarded to our allies elsewhere. The individuals doing the torturing, sexual humiliation, and so forth, were often inexperienced and untrained - but they were guided or at least in part motivated by those who wrote, approved, issued and were responsible for implementation of the manuals. The approval of use of those procedures went all the way to the top - (with possible exception of Bush himself, the policy and procedure there being called - 'plausible deniability') but if you consider the very top to be the American people - we had all seen the bagging of the prisoners being brought back on the planes to Guantanimo bay - so we knew how the Geneva rules the World Court decisions the UN guidelines and the US Constitution was being violated. (If you can say we didn't know - then you can certainly forgive the Germans for not knowing about the treatment of the Jews.) When Rumsfeld says that he takes 'full responsibility' that does not mean that he expects to be punished for it. The only thing that people are punished for - in the present administration - is telling the truth. (If you are not familiar with examples in the news - never mind.) No, by all standards of government practice, it would be wrong to punish Rumsfeld. After all - he was just implementing thought-out, established, approved, accepted, published government procedures. It is a dirty job, those about him would say, but somebody has got to do it. Accept it. It is the American way. Very often - it is the American way, to say one thing - and to do the opposite. Public relations is what is important. Many Americans are not that disturbed about the events. Many Americans are more angrified that they have been made public and have hurt the American image and war effort. In truth, these events are not nearly so horrendous, as the deaths of tens of thousands of children that have resulted from the American bombings in countries throughout the world. Collateral damage, the supporters write that off as - 'alienation' say those who see it differently. But war itself is evil, although sometimes the lesser of two evils, and I am not here to make moral judgments - but just to say how these disclosures will effect events. EVENT TWO Draft. The draft is certainly going to be impacted by the pictures. Try bringing it on now - and college students throughout the US, not wishing their education, careers, life interrupted to become part of the great adventure in Iraq or Korea, will suddenly find a new high moral ground regarding the practices in the pictures. It is also going to be a bother to the Bush Supreme Court regarding the decisions they are about to render about the government's right to circumvent the US Constitution in periods of crises. This bodes all very badly for the prosecution of the war, which brings us to: EVENT THREE Iraq. Which is not going according to plan. If there was ever a plan. Certainly not a plan for things going - as they are going now. Out by June 30th. That is the Bush plan. Well, anyway, it is certainly the Iraqi rebel plan. Now it gets nasty. The weather gets nasty. The rebels get nasty. The politics get nasty. The number of deaths get nasty. The supply lines get nasty. It is the latter that is the worst part. Supplies for troops are dwindling, and supplies of troops are dwindling. Which brings us back to that old draft thing. More immediately, Germany is withdrawing support of 250,000 support troops that were making available US troops for Iraq. Spain's troops are going if not gone. The coalition is collapsing. So, who will be minding the store, after June 30th? Mission accomplished? Saddam's torture prisons shut down? Security in the street so that one's wife could walk down it? Hospitals now operating with more supplies and fewer patients? Oil flowing to the American market? Ahhh, life just gets better and better, for some. EVENT FOUR It is that oil - that may become the sticky part, and that will affect your life. Not so much the oil from Iraq, because it hasn't been flowing that greatly since Saddam sacked the wells. Nope, it isn't that there is less oil - but rather less oil being shipped, particularly by the Saudi OPEC sellers. If they really are in bed with Bush, they had better act pretty soon. High oil prices cause high fuel prices and serious suggestions of a US truckers strike. Now this IS something new. Oh' I know there have been trucker strikes before but it is different now. Blame it on the computers. Computers, satellite tracking, and new technology have made JIT (Just In Time) inventory possible, and there has never been a major trucker's strike since that has occurred. Before, with big inventories and deep pockets, the big corporations could outlast the shallow pockets of the truckers. Now with JIT (Jump Into Terror) you will see something entirely different. Yep, this a group who can do serious damage. The stress and strain is a serious motivator. Buy a tire and avoid a ticket, or feed the family next week. A choice among truckers that is making many mumble. Once the convoy gets rolling - (actually parked) these are the guys who work on group mentality. "Look here - good buddy, you aren't planning to set down that coffee cup are you - and take your rig back out on the road? It just won't run very well with a few knifed tires." Forty-eight to seventy-two hours and there will be no goods on the grocery store shelves, and no gasoline at the filling station to get there with anyway. No worry about going to the job at the factory because they have no parts to work with. Farmers and independent truckers don't get organized in the usual union sense, and it takes a lot to get them riled (although they complain a lot) but once they do get moving - or stop - watch out. EVENT FOUR The weather. Hot in Iraq. Hot in California. Relatively cool here in Canada. But then we never have been that big on air conditioners. Down California way - they take LOTS of electricity, which can help shoot up the price of oil - ergo fuel, which finally is the straw that trips the truckers. Reagan's Air Force controllers could control the control towers. Soldiers might have even delivered the mail. But you can't get enough of an army of drivers to deliver the milk. Police protection patrolling parkways won't help either. Trucks move from one jurisdiction to the next - and there will more likely be waiting there for them other truckers rather than troopers. EVENT FIVE The biggest news this week is the nuke news - (no matter what your TV is saying), and Iran's receipt of Korea's long range missiles. Iran's nukes and North Korea's missiles. For Israel, and therefore for the world, a match made in hell, and the match that can make the middle east explode. Again, not to my knowledge anyway, being discussed on the night time news, but being very actively discussed in international political quarters is Israel's pre-emptive Iran policy as approved (not openly) by Bush. Time to topple the towers that trouble their thoughts. What choice do they have? Surrounded by countries that have avowed their demise, should they wait until Iran mates the missiles with nukes that can reach them? What do YOU think they will do? How soon do YOU think they will do it? What effect do YOU think that will have on the other countries - (including Russia, Pakistan, China, North Korea)? What affect do you think that will have on YOUR life? How YOU answer these questions will determine what you will be doing in the immediate future. EVENT SIX And this is the BIG one. I have no idea what it will be. Many speculate a terrorist attack. Possibly, but not necessarily so. Stock market gyrations, monetary fiasco, world leader assassination, There is a long possible list - with something that we can't even imagine - topping it. That is the nature of our world today. The unexpected. In other centuries the monotony would kill you - but not in our world today. Some people look up at the heavens - and while this is not at all my inclination I will include the following - http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_040503.html (sorry about the long url - a worm seems to have eaten the tiny url service) but my advice is that you should be looking down at your feet - because if there is a trucker's strike - you will be doing a lot of walking. Yep, 60 days more to go in this 90 day period - and then we begin, the long hot summer. By the way, have gotten up new pages for each state at: www.webpal.org/safe/ Click on your state on the map and give me a little write up about disasters that have happened in your state so that I can add them to write ups under the categories there.

First my own. Virus being sent out to the Ark Two mailing list. Doesn't appear to be very affective - but nevertheless. No, I have never sent any attachments. No, it is not coming from my computer. Most likely coming from the web page host or server because that is where the newsletter mail list is maintained. Anyway, if you get it - just delete it - the subject heading is: [Arktwo] Request response Just delete. Other damage control. Rumsfeld. Trip to Iraq. Photo-ops with the troops. Releasing of pictures. News releases by the bunches. Still, this morning - New Yorker says - He Knew He Authorized So, he didn't tell Bush. Of course not. (Officially anyway.) Plausible deniability. Protect the chief. What your government does for you. Lawyers saying to Pentagon - don't release more photos. The only thing that makes the Pentagon the White House the American Public as a whole mad, is that they got out in the first place. The thought controllers and the thought controlled don't like pictures getting out of caskets killing of prisoners torture or anything that hurts their cause. Stop the news and you stop the reality is their view. At least you may change the reality. Because action appears to follow image. Now a new conspiracy theory. I am usually only into conspiracy theories to debunk them. Chemtrails, planted explosives in the WTC, massing Chinese troops in Mexico and Canada, government knowing asteroid is on collision course, Illuminati taking over the world - and dozens of others that I get - but here is a new one that is kind of interesting. The Berg story may be an iceberg (what is that - 90% hidden under water?) Reports that analysis of the video and events show that: 1. Execution squad a. had wrong (especially one) body shapes for Iraqis b. were wearing baklavas instead of traditional scarves c. one was wearing jewelry in violation of Islamic code d. several touched their faces with left hand - a strong taboo in Muslim culture. e. two stood in non-Muslim manner f. had US Armed forces furniture g. had an English speaking voice present in the background (audible with engineering on multiple tape sources) 2. Actually execution done off camera - with tape lapse before showing severed head. Some expert medical opinion holding execution not performed in purported manner. 3. Early reports did not identify a. that Berg was a practicing Jew b. that Berg was a person of interest to the FBI b1. Emails to terrorists having been sent from his computer. b2. Relative married to Muslim b3. Terrorist connected room mate in college. c. held in US authorized custody d. released and warned to leave Speculation is that he was a CIA type of operative that was found to be a MOSSAD cross agent - and that he was 'terminated with extreme prejudice' by US authorized CIA type of organization. Alternate view is that he was just a good American lad looking for a business opportunity and happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and that his being grabbed off was just coincidental because everything else above is: a. not true b. totally coincidental c. and shows stupidity of Al Qaeda who had the US completely on the run in a PR sense and now this throws egg in their face. Like all conspiracy theories - you pay your money and make your choice - and while I don't think this one will get much play in the conventional media it may have 'legs' on the Internet. Everywhere the media is scrambling to do damage control for the US torture practices. Think back to the amount of footage that went on for months and months about the consensual sex with one White House intern - and then compare that to what you will see about government authorized sexual brutality for hundreds - in the run up to the election. Not me. But some others will make the comparison. The question will be asked - (not in the media - but elsewhere) could Berg be iceberg damage control?

While I work within a paradigm (certainly not an astrological one) not shared by most of my readers - (and therefore my reasons for these expectations - would not be shared by them) I can say that within the shared paradigm that I was basing my expectations upon - a. what we would call 'spiritual causes' b. the pent-up pressures building in a number of cultures and locales c. what the conventional wisdom refers to as 'Spring fever'. However, I did not anticipate that the events would take off with quite the momentum that they have. In the newsletter previous to this one I mentioned that there were six events that were going to be affecting the overall picture: 1. The torturing in Iraq. When I first mentioned this several weeks ago - I said that I didn't think that it would make it into the media. Well, I was wrong about that. However, the American psyche seems to be adjusting well to it. a. others do much worse b. it has always been this way c. being blown way out of proportion d. harped on by those who are un-American e. it is the whistle blowers who are the problem Human thought - and the human spirit travel these slippery slopes to eventually collide with reality. 2. Draft Senate (twin bills: S 89 and HR 163) Planned to be a relatively quiet subject - until after the election. Both candidates hold the same position about prosecuting the war - so it really can't be an issue. However, the need mounts - (although it may not be a solution). Such shortage of troops in Iraq, that this week it was announced that the training troops (those used for training new troops - in war games and such) are being sent to Iraq along with the troops being reassigned from North Korea, and those already there being put on extended duty. 3. Iraq Word is - that the US troop morale is great. The word from the Pentagon - that is. Meanwhile, persistent rumor is that email privileges from the front may be cut off. Difficult to do. Technologically possible - maybe yes. But, psychologically - the modern troops are way past the days of 'mail call' with censors sitting around using black markout pens to go over the letters they are sending home. The solution in Iraq is - NOT. That is to say - there is no solution. Once you have left the plane - without a parachute you can flap your arms all you want - or the point of the analogy -- get on the TV and flap your lips at the public, it is still not going to solve the problem. Kurds, Shiites, Sunnis, Islamists, Iranians, Syrians, Europeans, Russians, and dozens of others all pulling in different directions - amount to a Bushian oxymoronic coalition of chaos. No need to try to analyze that. It is like a chess game - with ten players on each side and each one coming up to the board in turn to make their side's move for their turn without consulting the others. Even in the US some of the greatest battles of Iraq are being fought out between the CIA, the State Department, and the Pentagon. The Neocons may think they are in control - but they aren't. No one is. That is to say - except God. In my opinion events move with a Divine Destiny. 4. Oil No solution there either. Not that there is a real short term shortage. Pipelines may be full (referring to tankers, storage, etc - as being the pipelines) - refineries may not have the capacity to produce the legislated mandate of environmenal friendly fuel mix - but the world around producers can produce more oil than they can sell. (OPEC still limits supply to keep the price up). The real oil news item this week - is that Bush has said that he will NOT release any of the SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve). In fact this month they are still pouring millions of barrels of oil into it - although I don't know where they are putting it because it is now at FOUR TIMES its stated capacity. Most analysts will make something out of that. Think about it. The trucker thing has fallen off my scope - and I don't know why. Sure don't think the Internet is being suppressed. All the news that isn't fit to print. But the controlled media is worthless. Even the NY Times admitting that - this week. http://tinyurl.com/2q24y 5. Weather The weather is worsening. According to the US Weather Service. Mostly meaning it is going to be hotter than expected. Which is more bad news for fuel prices. Air Conditioning is the big electric consumer. Corporate Cost Control Causes California Catastrophe - or something like that will be headlines for the electric prices in California. And elsewhere. Big nuclear generator supposed be coming back online here in Canada - but instead - another is shutting down. And then there will be the forest fires. Possibly lots of them. Those we can blame on the terrorists. Nothing new there. Lots of things will get blamed on the terrorists. (Used to be the commies, catholics or conspiracies.) But think not hot - unless you are in the Middle East or Hell. But I repeat myself. Those there - will dearly desire an ice cube. 6. Iran's nukes Now Syria's (Iran's former) supposed WMD. A story that is not going away - because there are those who don't want it to go away. Check that NY Times article again. http://tinyurl.com/2q24y Some folks ask me why I don't write as much anymore. Very busy for one thing - but mainly - the news doesn't change. It just intensifies. The trends have been in place for a long time. Intensifying relationships between Taiwan and China. Intensifying relationships between Pakistan and India. Intensifying relationships between Japan and North Korea. Intensifying relationships between the US and the UN. This weeks news headlines from each of the above - is talk of peace. Taiwan talks peace and China mounts more missiles towards Taiwan. India's new Prime Minister talks peace - and Pakistan rattles its nuclear missiles. North Korea sends back the Interpreters and Japan talks about assembling its nukes. The US says that it is willing to cooperate but the UN has requirements that US will never meet. Some will say things are getting better - and only a doomer will see it my way. But I just look at the figures. a. A poll this week - says that less than 5% of Europeans now attend church. b. The Bishop of Boston this week closed 20% of the parishes. Says that 40% of the parish priests are now over age 70. c. A book that I read this week on physics says that a poll of the top physicists in the US shows that only 7% believe in God. I think I see a trend. God may also.

Well, basically from all of you - (and particularly a half dozen - Nancy, Jamie, Dave, Michael, Richard - and a unique name I won't mention - who spend many hours each day searching the net). Plus of course my own news watching. The following are some stories that I am watching right now. As something different - I will present them here without comment. You can make up your own analysis this time. June 8-10 G8 in Georgia Homeland Security lists G8 as one of 3 primary targets Georgia Governor prepares "Shoot to Kill Orders" June 30th - Government 'transfer' in Iraq June - July All US Carriers ordered to sea until August Extra capacity for SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) found so that it is four times its designated limit More ground troops pulled back from North Korea Navy increasing 'forward' basing towards China. Far out rumors: Eastman Kodak Labs find that video watermark, video fingerprint, video DNA, whatever you want to call it - shows that the Berg video camera was the same one used in some of the torture videos. Mechanical air generator shown below WTC plane in video shows that pilot was trying to gain control of remotely controlled aircraft. Women libbers upset against proposal to remove women from new draft bill. If you are into deep think - study the following one through carefully - I find it VERY informative: http://tinyurl.com/2w5gu The above url still fails to mention several things - that are factors for US involvement in Iraq: a. Saddam's commitment to the Euro b. Saudi transfer of funds to Europe c. "Aircraft" carrier Iraq after US expulsion from SA d. NATO / Eurocom expansion and containment of Russia e. Iran nuclear proliferation Only hinted at UN conflict. China / Pakistan / India energy triangle is interesting. Many, many other factors interacting - such as Europe, Britain, Russia - and perhaps even Israel are much bigger players than intimated. I have received a number of emails with questions, or comments about the draft. The following is a question - and my reply. >I have a hard time accepting that America calls itself free and has a selective service system. Depending on ones definition of freedom, I don't accept the idea that you can be forced to participate in something under the threat of severe penalties if you don't. To me, this is not a free society. I would like to know what would be your advice for those not interested in participating in the draft? Society always places restrictions on freedom. If we are going to stay in the cave and near the fire then we are going to have to conform to the group's rules (which will be set by the strongest). The ideal of political party democracy is largely a chimera. The rules are still set by those who are strongest (financially) and who control such things as the political parties, the media, the banking system. Still as individuals we must conform to gain the warmth of the fire. The more technologically advanced a society becomes the more order it requires - along with conformance to that order. Most of us do not object to driving on the right side of the street. However, people without spiritual motivation will only conform to those rules which are enforceable. Part of the human spirit is free will. Not just the free will of 'self' and what one wants for their 'self' - but also to commit to 'higher purposes'. When the higher purpose is in conflict with the law then one has to decide which is more important - access to the warmth of the fireplace, or suffering or even dying for their higher purpose. Society applauds and celebrates those who respond to its expressed higher purposes - of emotional patriotism and conventional religious symbolism. Those who sacrifice themselves - or who are coincidently killed for those expressed purposes are honored as heroes. Any who choose to accept martyrdom for causes which society does not applaud are looked upon at best as being mislead / foolish but often as simply being evil. In North American society the long history of draft objection goes all the way back to the Loyalists and the Revolutionary War - through Lincoln and the Civil War and the conscientious objectors of the Second World War on down to Korea and Vietnam with those who came to Canada rather than serve. The idea was well expressed by Thoreau in Walden. A friend came to Thoreau in jail and said - "What are you doing in there?" Thoreau replied - "The question is - 'What are you does out there?'" Always, in life, the question is - where do we stand for truth and justice? Difficult times make for difficult decisions. It is not a question - of where we stand for the freedom to choose - but rather where we choose to stand for the freedom. I enlisted - and served - honorably. But while serving I decided to become a conscientious objector. I did not raise by objection while serving but fulfilled my service commitment. Upon completion - I went to the local draft board in one of the most patriotic parts of the country about fifty years ago- when stands about patriotism and many other issues were much stronger than today - and told them I wished my classification changed. The had conniptions. Threats of all sorts were leveled at me. I was told that I would now have to do additional compulsory service in a hospital to change my classification. My dad nearly died of embarrassment - his being an American Legion commander - and my mother also her being a Republican committee woman. To boot - I was active in the NAACP - married to a Jewess, and could philosophically argue for communism - none of which was held favorably in the state famous for John Brown's Cabin and during the era of Brown vs. Topeka. Later I changed or at least modified my views about conscientious objection, as well as about communism - but the importance is not what we believe - but rather how we believe. The individual who does not conform to the pressures of society but rather examines their own beliefs and modifies them in the light of that examination is a growing healthy soul. In such an individual - beliefs can always change. Truth in this world is relative and the important thing is that we always strive more for it. Still, there comes the question of where we will make our stand. Not every insignificant issue is worth going to battle for or dying for. Order in society IS important - and all of us must be willing to conform to that order EXCEPT in those most dire circumstances where we would violate the trust of God. Orders to 'drop the bomb' and obliterate millions. Orders to abort innocent babies (here innocent is not an emotional term - because how could they be other than innocent - even given the Christian concept of original sin) Orders to torture - or to lie and cover up. Where do we draw the line. Every individual soul must do so on its own - and must be willing to accept the consequences. I can argue positively for every action above. The buck, said Truman, stopped with him. But it didn't. Someone else still had their finger on the button. The supposed argument for saving American lives and shortening the war still held just as much for them as Truman. Doctors in hospitals may not like doing abortions - but then some will say "it is the woman's right" - some may not like being ordered to torture - but then it may be your buddies lives that you are saving. Always reasons and rationalizations. On both sides - for bombing the enemy - or the abortion clinics - or the railroad station by a 'martyr' (a misnomer for my part - a martyr being someone who dies or suffers for a cause rather than someone who kills or destroys for a cause). Tough times. Tough decisions. Big Issues. But the issue of whether or not society has the right to demand 'anything' of the individual, payment of taxes, certificates for marriage, service in the military, is not a real issue - because above all that - and more important than that - is that we do need society. That is our collective need, and anything else leads to anarchy and chaos. Our individual need - is the progress of our individual soul - which we achieve through its submission to the Will of God. That is the journey and challenge of each soul to find.

The World Language Process would like very much to provide its method of teaching English (for guides and support personnel) for the 2008 Olympics. What we are proposing would cost China nothing but should be a great boon towards bringing universal understanding. You may wonder how this fits in with my overall paradigm of an imminent nuclear World War Three. The concept is this: a. WW3 will occur. b. Mankind will recognize the need to establish a world government that will prevent such a thing from happening again. c. The Olympics scheduled for China in 2008 will still take place (on a much reduced scale) as mankind struggles to open every avenue that encourages world unity and harmony. d. This will be a great opportunity to demonstrate the World Language Process model for a universal auxiliary language. This has always been the idea behind Ark Two and the Universal Language Institute. We have always looked beyond Armaggedon towards the reconstruction of society. www.webpal.org and http://www.webpal.org/a_reconstruction/language/ The problem is: I have to raise the funds to attend. Air fare, accomodation, missed income while gone, etc. Now the solution: I have discussed the problem with Shane, and we have come up with a possible solution. For the readers of this Newsletter only - if you will donate funds for this cause Shane will send you a NukAlert directly from his location in the US and what would usually be our profits will go to cover the costs of the trip. http://www.webpal.org/nukalert.htm My wife and I introduced the NukAlert in Canada when it first came out last year. The link above tells about it. Because it is on 24/7 with its ten-year battery, it does not require battery replacement and it is so portable (can fit on your key chain) that we feel that it is: the simplest most reliable radiation detector that has ever been developed. Something this excellent has never been available before because the technology simply did not exist when radiation detection equipment was built in the Civil Defense decades. These regularly sell for $160 US - but for this one time only - you could have one for just $90 plus $10 shipping and handling - or if you would send $150 we would include a second one (with no additional shipping or handling charge). The second unit would, however, be a production second. It works just as well as the first you would receive but the screen printing on the outside used an ink that turned out to be not as permament. This is an absolutely SUPERB one time offer to better protect your loved ones and to help fund this trip. For most families it would at least give each adult member of the family a unit that they would have with them no matter where they were. If you needed more units- such as for mature children away at college, let me know and I will try to distribute the less expensive seconds around as equitably as possible. The 'Cosmetically Challenged' (and deeply discounted)NukAlert seconds are in very short supply but Shane has set aside most of his remaining inventory of them for me to offer here for the next 10 days only until they are all gone on a first come basis. Anyway - that is the idea. It is ALSO the solution that I have been looking for to less expensively get radiation equipment out into the hands of people who missed out on our group buy four years ago. You can see that opportunities like this don't come along very often. Those who already have radiation detection equipment will also appreciate the opportunity to get something that is so much more convenient and up to date. There is no opportunity near like this being made available to anyone else, anywhere. Only the people on this Newsletter are getting this opportunity. This is truly a one time opportunity, because it is so important to fund this trip. So email me back right away - if you would like to have one, so we can determine if this is a worthwhile thing to try to do to solve the problem of funding the China trip.

Anyway - the year 2004 - is calculated in some systems as being a six. 2+0+0+4=6 So June the sixth month on the 6th day will be 6/6/6 or 666. This Sunday. Astronomical events happening close to that date also. The transit of Venus across the Sun. Actually happens on the 8th, and won't be visible in the US except with luck - when the sun first comes up in the Eastern states. Think of the sun as the face of a clock. Venus will have come onto the sun where the 8 is and it will be leaving some hours later just after Eastern sunrise where the five is on the clock face. Draw a line between those two points, and you have the path that it travels. All this is significant to those into astrology. For others - one more day of predicted big events - that will probably be just another day. June 8-10 may be more newsworthy because of the G8 conference in Georgia. Also about the time that the 7 carrier battle groups head out to sea. This could be even more interesting. Turns out that both Russia and China have decided to have big 'practices' at the same time. Now, tell me, if you were a technologically advanced nation and you noticed that so many of the technologically advanced nations were putting all their troops on the highest state of readiness - would you maybe not do so also? Looks like everyone is going to be ready before the end of the month. Don't ask me for what - because I have no idea. This much I can tell you. You cannot stay at peak readiness all the time. Once you have had all those 7 carrier fleets out for awhile - they then have to come back to refuel - restock on groceries - and get ready to go again. They won't be so ready during that refueling / restocking period. Like fireman coming back from a big fire. They are exhausted. The hoses have to be drained - the trucks reloaded - the equipment all checked - etc. Not a good time to have another big fire. You can't have all the ships to sea at once. We have 12 carrier groups - and some always have to be in port undergoing maintenance and updating of their equipment which sometimes takes many, many months. Somethings like helicopters are said to take 50 hours of maintenance for every hour that they fly. Space shuttles even more. Aircraft carriers and submarines are VERY big users of maintenace. You are doing exceptionally well if you can keep only one third in port - and most usually it is the other way around with only one third at sea. Curiously, a report states that ALL US nuclear subs will be at sea during the same period. I don't think that is even possible. But anyway - an eighth carrier is supposed to be heading out a couple of weeks behind the rest. Rumsfield says he is just testing to make sure they can do it. Reminds me of the story about a fellow in my home town of Wellington, Kansas. Was called the Duke of Wellington (well at least that much is true and he was listed in Ripley's Believe it or Not). He is reported to have eaten things like a bale of hay - and cups of concrete (the latter is true). I knew the surgeon who had to open him up a couple of times and he tells me that he also took out bolts and all sorts of hardware. (It was the concrete that finally killed him, one of the nurses told me.) Did these things on a bet to gain money and fame. Anyway, someone wanted to bet that he couldn't drink a whole bucket of milk in one swig. (Kansas was a 'dry' state.) Before taking the bet he left and then came back to do it. Three quarters of the way through he stopped and put it down. "Whats wrong John?" "I don't understand it." "Why?" "Well, before I took the bet, I went out and checked - and I was able to do it then." This was what also sunk the Bismark. The captain kept the gun crews at their guns day and night expecting to be attacked at any moment - and then when the attack came they were too exhausted to perform. I think Rumsfeld knows the story, (well maybe not about the Duke) but the point is - if the carrier forces can demonstrate a readiness that they have never demonstrated before and the submarines along with them at the same time- they are not going to be able to do it again - the next day after they return- or the next week - or probably even the next month - for that matter. So, everyone is out practicing. Makes one wonder - when the playoffs are going to be. This News just in as I get ready to mail: http://tinyurl.com/2kvr3 "You are in the army now", and perhaps to stay - Pentagon is telling present soldiers. Those wishing to retire - or leave at the end of their enlistment may not be permitted to do so. "There has been criticism of the program as contrary to the concept of an all-volunteer military force. Soldiers planning to retire and get on with their lives now face more months away from their families and homes." Yep - it is another form of the draft. "Hagenbeck had no numbers on how many soldiers would be affected. The stop-loss expansion is indefinite, officials said." "Typical turnover requires an average division to replace about a quarter of its strength — perhaps 4,000 soldiers — over an 18-month period, an Army spokeswoman said." Once again - no analysis of this on my part. Loose lips sink ships and and all that. Speculate on it as you will. 666. That would be a good number for me - if it were the number of you that said you wanted one of the NukAlerts. I was hoping for around half that number or about 300 and it looks like it will be lucky to be a tenth. Maybe not going to make it for the China trip - but at least these folks will get more protection. How important are these NukAlerts? I tell people - the first three rules of nuclear survival are: 1. Get out of the cities 2. Get out of the cities 3. Get out of the cities I follow these on with: 4. Have a shelter 5. Have the shelter stocked 6. Have radiation detection equipment Many people - because of jobs and such feel that they can't leave the cities and they can't have a shelter in the city. This does not mean that they shouldn't have a bug out plan - and a bug out kit. In fact it means that it is all the more important that they DO have a bug out plan and a bug out kit. And in a bug out kit one of the most important things that you can have is a radiation detector. In a shelter you will be safe. It is nice to know when it is safe to leave (and for how long) - but in the shelter you are safe. When you are bugging out - you REALLY need to know where you are going is better than where you are. If you meet others who can assist you with transportation shelter food protection you have something valuable to offer in return - and that is radiological information. The neat thing about the NukAlert is that it is VERY light and portable - (you can even conceal it - which may be a very good idea in many circumstances). And it is ALWAYS on and ready to go. Needs no maintenace or upkeep - which is very important for a bugout kit. Which reminds me - there are several hundred of you who participated in our group buy of radiation detection equipment a few years ago. I do HOPE that you are keeping the batteries up and ready for your equipment. This is one reason the NukAlert is good for you also. But, back to all you bug outers - let me say it again - if you can't leave the city now and you don't have a shelter - then it is even MORE important that you have a NukAlert and there has never been an opportunity like this one and will probably never be again. So, email me if you want one - for just $100 including shipping and handling and you can then also have additional 'seconds' (as explained in the last Newsletter) for $50. Look at them at: http://www.webpal.org/nukalert.htm I realize that I am really pushing you on this - but there are more than a thousand of you out there that should have one - and if just 10% of you act - then in my paradigm that would be a hundred units and probably many hundreds of lives saved because each unit should save many lives because only one person in a group has to have one. Would you speak out to save someone's life? So forgive me - if I speak out to save hundreds. Email me NOW and get on the list.

This subject is not addressed to the hundreds of people on this list who already own radiation detection equipment, or those who have ordered the NukAlert. While the NukAlert is newer and more convenient and has other advantages it is not ESSENTIAL for those who got in on the group buy years ago. But what I want to know - and what I want the rest of you to tell me - is what is up with the rest of you on this Newsletter list who have not ordered a NukAlert? Surely you know - this is a one note Newsletter - the one note being - there is going to be a nuclear war - and you need to prepare for it. I have explained in the previous Newsletter that a radiation detector is an ESSENTIAL piece of equipment and if you don't have a shelter or you are in the city where you are going to have to bug out then it is the MOST ESSENTIAL piece of equipment for you to have. So, why do people bother to get this Newsletter if they aren't going to get the simplest and MOST ESSENTIAL piece of equipment for nuclear survival? What is it that you are thinking? What is it that I have failed to tell you? What is it that I need to do to convince you? Is it the money? Can you REALLY not come up with the $100? If that is the problem - tell me. As many of you know- I have given away dozens of radiation detection kits. Circumstances have changed but we will have to see what we can work out. If that is not the problem - then what is the problem? Please tell me - so that I can know what I am missing here. I just don't understand what is going on. I really mean it - please email me and tell me why you haven't ordered a NukAlert, so that I can comprehend it. There must be some reason that a thousand people are thinking like you do. Many thanks to all of you have ordered NukAlerts and another thanks to those who have offered over a thousand dollars in outright donations (for the China trip) which so far I have declined. I greatly believe in this cause but I don't feel right about taking donations because the costs are too mixed up with my own affairs. I have to cover the costs of being away during that time and not generating funds for payments, so I have hit upon the compromise of a little extra from everyone getting the radiation detector they need. One lady wrote to me that she had $6.14 in her saving's account but that I could have it towards the trip. This sounds to me too much like taking the widow's mite. While Jesus praised the widow for her mite, still I can't bring myself to do it. There are people with millions in this world - (not that I am going to hear from any of them) and if they wanted to chip in for the project - well okay - but everyone else is having too great a struggle. Reminds of the story of the big time gambler who had just dropped a couple of hundred thousand that he didn't have - and went into the washroom while he tried to figure out how he was going to get straight with the house. As he came into the washroom he found a fellow about to commit suicide. "Whoa! Whoa! - What is the problem?" "I have just lost five thousand dollars and I have no way to pay it." The big gambler thought a moment and said - "Just tell them to put it on my tab." I am forbidden to gamble at all - but somehow I feel like the big time roller, and when I see people with such smaller problems then I feel like saying - "Just put it on my tab." Times are tough - but folks, believe me, in the future people will look back and say that these were the best of times. When you even look back to the pioneers - childbirth without anesthesia - fifty percent survival to age 10, and THEN things got tough - wow! But tougher times are coming - for centuries - until men can learn to love one another and be concerned for justice no matter what one's color or creed may be. That is my paradigm - and my purpose - and what I think should be every person's purpose is to work toward that universal attitude of love and justice. People tell me to stop preaching - but I am trying to do more than preach. I am trying to make a difference. The story of the little girl walking along the beach throwing back into the sea one star fish after another that the ocean had washed up. An old fellow came by and said to her - "You can't make any difference - there are thousands of them." She looked at the one in her hand - and tossed it into the sea and said - "Well, I made a difference for that one." And, I can't make a difference for everyone - but I do feel that I can make a difference for you, if you will let me. I really feel that having a NukAlert may make a world of difference in the way that you survive what is coming. So, look at our NukAlert web page, http://www.webpal.org/nukalert.htm and get on the list, for one for $100, or two (the second a second) for $150 by sending me an email at: DawnSayer@webpal.org Now, today's news about China's portion of this month's war games. http://www.washtimes.com/national/20040602-010016-1638r.htm The military exercises are part of China's annual maneuvers involving large numbers of troops, ships, aircraft and missiles, and will take place on Dongshan Island. The island is located off the coast of Fujian province along the southern Chinese coast near Taiwan. A U.S. intelligence official said the exercises will begin later this month. "It isn't just a training exercise. It's also intended to send a political message [to Taiwan]," the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. The exercises are expected to continue through July. AND further to the point. http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/hazard/tsrnsrch_idb.shtml The Pentagon on Friday released an annual report on Chinese military power, which said Beijing is making strides at boosting its space defense capabilities. It was the first public warning by the Pentagon that the Chinese are considering ways of "blinding" U.S. eyes in space before launching any attack on Taiwan. The Pentagon / Military doesn't tell us anything about its intelligence or strategy. So why have three important paper / announcements like this been released in the last three weeks. I can tell you this. It is psyops. That is the term for psychological operations or psychological warfare. But what I don't know - is who is the target? The Chinese or the American public. Either way, I can also tell you this. It isn't just idle conversation with the purpose to simply make you a more informed public. Who is moving where for what - I don't know - but there is sure lots of military movement. The most that there has been since the build-up for the Gulf War, when I used to give you tallies on American ship movements. And it isn't just the Americans. The British are hard at it too (and also Russia, China, India - and numbers of others). Think of it what you will. Think of me what you will. Just write to me to get on the NukAlert list - or to tell me why you aren't.

And as said the fellow as he fell past the 66th floor from the top of the 100 story building - so far so good. Things are happening in the world, of course - and I am particularly looking at China. I wonder whether it is just my imagination or am I getting a lot more news about there. I think the latter. Reported closing in China of all the Internet Cafes. As the saying is - "THAT is a dot". The following quote from Mark Magnier of the LA Times has arrived to me at least a half dozen times this week: "More than a year after Hu Jintao was named president and Wen Jiabao premier in modern China's first orderly transfer of power, many people wonder whos in charge. The short answer, analysts say, is no one at least not fully. Hu and Wen control the economy, social issues and most areas of foreign policy, while former President Jiang Zemin retains control over the military and most issues related to Taiwan and Hong Kong." Zemin, who supposedly stepped down, appears to remain the real China power behind the public relations pro-Western faces presented by Hu and Wen. The military exercises abound on all fronts, particularly in the interface between China and the US. Months ago I told you about a planned US space explosion of a nuclear weapon this summer. I have not heard anything more about it - but that it is apparantly still on. The Chinese have announced some new space defense technology. The two events side by side present an interesting combination - and may also have something to do with the extensive carrier activity about to take place. Last newsletter - I mentioned the Chinese study papers released by the Pentagon. Something that is unusual in itself. There are also numerous reports that I have received of what the writers feel are unusual Chinese actions in the world markets. All this and much more in the last couple of weeks, certainly has me wondering - in the face of my planned trip to China - but yep, rushing forward to try to go on the 20th. Word from there is that I still have to pass the "political review", and other information is being requested - but the last time we sent a representative all this went on right up to four days before departure. Other people are worrying about many other things. I have been following the Titor and Gartrell stories for sometime. The first is the story of a time traveler who reportedly came from the future a couple of years ago and left some predictions. The latter is about supposed asteroid predictions by an Aussie physicist (a real person). Neither of which I consider at all credible. Real science presents it data to other scientists who verify it or repudiate it. There is no great universal conspiracy among scientists to conceal the truth. Meteor showers come and go. Hoax hysterias come and go. Irregular cycles of both. UFOs. Chemtrails. Titor and TT. Asteroid. Masses of Chinese ready to invade from Mexico or China Thin lines between reality and total fiction. Many people are unable to discriminate. US nuclear space testing next 2 months (real) Chinese space defense testing (real) US / Russian / Chinese war footing / exercises (real) M3 and FR shenanigan's (real) Bilderberg meeting (real) Draft bill (real) All the following are manipulated and more or less real only in psychological effects: SARS Anthrax Terrorist threat levels NBC Psyops Government announcements Stock market Government stats on unemployment Interest rates Diplomatic meetings (with Pope etc.) Political conventions Presidental speeches and many others. One astute reader remarked about Bush's meeting with the Pope - that Bush was actually there for the Bilderberger meeting and since he was in the neighborhood he just dropped in on the Pope. I don't know if that is true or not. Funny if it is not. Not funny if it is. The overlying reality in the world today - and which the public sublimates or ignores is that there are proliferating nuclear weapons with a growing inclination to use them. Doesn't mean that June AND July won't still have MORE surprises as I said months ago. Which will only be preliminaries for greater events to come yet, and this does make it an exciting time to be traveling to China. I will be sending out - hopefully later today - (as soon as I verify them with Shane) the payment instructions for those who are participating in the NukAlert. In my little survey I determined of course that hundreds of you already have radiation detection equipment - and am I ever glad of that. From my survey I determined there were several other reasonable excuses for not getting it. The two most common were age - and I guess I will accept that from anyone over 80. The other most common is that their spouse wouldn't let them. A sad but factual situation that occurs many, many times. These I advise to organize their affairs so that they have bug out kits - even without a radiation detector. Many people of course felt that they just couldn't afford NukAlerts. The single mother - feeding her eight children pancakes several times a week for supper. A family so restricted in income that the father was having to wear the son's shoes to go to work. Several people on disability income who live very restricted lives. Some people who felt that they couldn't afford them are perhaps actually better off than I am but I certainly don't want to judge. Anyway, some people have offered to donate units for others, and here is what I will do. There is a markup of $10 in the CC (second) units to cover the donation for the China trip - but if you will pay $40 for a unit (instead of the $50) to be sent to someone else - I will pay the shipping and handling cost out of my own pocket. I will then tell you who the unit has been mailed to - so that you can verify with them that they have received it. It costs me a little to do this - (collectively more than I envision any of you paying) but still not near so much as has been the cost of dozens of more expensive units that I have sent out free in the past. I just don't want to feel that anyone (or the many people that can be saved by a single unit) didn't get the protection because I wouldn't make this effort. Will let you know how all this works out.

But I didn't see it. We live in the valley but my wife and were up this clear June 8th morning and drove out onto the hilltop for the sunrise Venus sun transit. Brief glimpses at the sun and there was a slight haze with the sun being low sky didn't use any shielding but could still close my eyes five minutes after back into the house and still see the sun. It was said that eastern states could catch the tail end of it but while we are in the Eastern Time Zone we are still too far west - so nothing. Rapture didn't happen either. Byron Weeks had predicted it for yesterday - but unless very, very few departed it just didn't happen. No pilotless planes falling from the sky, no driverless semis plunging across lanes, a real nothing if it happened. And 6/6/6 came and went. Nothing there either so far as I know. Three turkeys in a row this week. The 6th, 7th, and 8th were all predicted for major events - by various persons. I get all sorts of predictions in my email. One yesterday from Jesus Christ. I kid you not. That is what he said. Why should I believe him less than anyone else. Gullibility, credulity, discernment - are terms and meanings that go completely over some peoples heads. We do live in such a fantastic world, however, that it is often difficult to make the distinction between reality and fantasy. Insanity. Seeing and thinking that is not in accordance with reality. But I can tell you - anyone who does see the reality and reports it - will be thought insane by most people. Group thought - group hysteria - mass psychosis abounds. I have never watched a 'reality' show - but in the double speak of modern day I am sure that they are probably about as far from reality as one can get. The minds of mankind are consumed with advertising about material goods (group thought about limo prestige) stardom and sports awe (the importance of a ball going in a hole). The list just goes on and on of what the masses consider to be life. Which wheels to roll on, which carpet to walk on, which clothes to wear, which food to eat, and which shampoo to use. Get a life - I am told. Missing all the enjoyment. Hmmmm. Well, I am certainly not bored. It is an interesting parade. Speaking of parades - have you noticed the parade of the ships being sent to sea? Interesting story came my way many months ago - which I intimated at but said I wouldn't tell because 'loose lips sink ships' but the Navy itself publishes a deployment information site and since the information is now there and I am sure that the North Koreans and the Chinese and Russians can read it as well as anyone else - I will talk about it. I doubt that they read my newsletter :) A state food inspector reported to me her visit to a civilian ship repair yard with contracts for nuclear submarines. These places have cafeterias for their employees and have to be inspected just like anywhere else. Anyway there was a lot of activity there - and guess what they were doing - tearing out the nuclear missile launch tubes. Why? To make room for troops that would sneak in close to shore. Now read these from the Navy sites. On Feb. 23, USS La Jolla (SSN 701), Los Angeles Class nuclear-powered attack submarine, departed on a Western Pacific deployment from its homeport of Pearl Harbour. It serves as a platform for Special Operations Forces. More than 30 additional Sailors were brought onboard as part of Seal Delivery Vehicle Team One. In the last days of April, from Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego, USS Salt Lake City (SSN 716) departed to conduct operations throughout the Western Pacific. The Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) Mystic has participated in Pacific Reach 2004 exercise that was held in South Korea during the first half of May. The Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS La Jolla (SSN 701) and the rescue and salvage ship USS Safeguard (ARS 50) have also participated in this exercise. USS Tucson (SSN 770), the 20th of the Improved-Los Angeles class attack submarine to be built, departed for a Western Pacific deployment from its homeport of Pearl Harbour on May 19, to conduct extended operations. This submarine has one of the most advanced fire control systems the Navy has in its inventory. On May 24, USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) returns to its forward deployed homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, after successfully completing its annual spring underway period. During this period, Kitty Hawk and Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 traveled more than 25,000 nautical miles and completed Tailored Ship's Training Availability (TSTA) I and II, a Missile Exercise (MISSILEX), Blue Water Operations, and War-at-Sea exercises (WASEX). USS Belleau Wood (LHA 3) Expeditionary Strike Group (ESG), with more than 5,000 Sailors and 11th Marine Expeditionary Force, which is certified as special operations capable, on board, sailed from San Diego on May 27 for the Western Pacific in support of the global war on terrorism. The remainder of the strike group, including the fast attack submarine USS Charlotte (SSN 766), will depart in the coming weeks. This is the first ESG to be commanded by a Marine Corps general. The Department of Defence announced June 2 that this summer, simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike groups (CSGs) will demonstrate the ability of the Navy to provide credible combat power across the globe by operating in five theaters with other U.S., allied and coalition military forces. Beginning with the week of June 3, and continuing through August, the U.S. Navy exercise "Summer Pulse 04" will include scheduled deployments, surge operations, joint and international exercises and other advanced training and port visits. The seven aircraft carriers involved in Summer Pulse 04 will include already deployed USS George Washington (CVN 73) CSG and USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) CSG, USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63), USS John F Kennedy (CV 67) CSG, USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) CSG, and USS Enterprise (CVN 65) CSG. USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) will conduct operations in the U.S. Northern Command and U.S. Southern Command theaters during the ship’s interfleet transfer from Norfolk, Va., to its Pacific Fleet homeport of San Diego. And all that is just what is being reported on the Naval scene. You have to remember it is all still just psyops. What is not being reported is what is important. (The US space nuclear test - for instance - earlier announced - but nothing further - and all the HAARP stuff going on, for example.) Major troop and aircraft movements are also taking place. I could go into equal detail. When I started this issue of the newsletter I told you about things that weren't happening - and that didn't happen. Well, SOMETHING is happening - although I don't know what. The things that are happening - are amazing things in all the spheres of life about us. Bush visited the Pope. The Pope visited Switzerland. For the first time in 713 years Switzerland and the Pope are normalizing diplomatic relationships. It may be some historical thing about Vatican gold that went to Switzerland. And then some weeks ago - (on April 14th my birthday, so I remember this one) I told you about the Rothschild's getting out of gold price setting, after centuries of monopoly in the area. Things stay one way for centuries - and then suddenly change. And you think SOMETHING isn't happening. Unelected president meeting the Pope, government leaders fleeing the ship, Bilderbergers meeting adjacent, the president hiring a private attorney, lots of public hoopla focus on D-Day and passing presidents - G8 the next couple of days - anything to divert everyone's attention from the real news, and all this in one week - and you think SOMETHING isn't happening. Nope, like me, you probably think SOMETHING is happening - but like me you probably have no idea of what it is. But we had better keep our eyes on the ground and not worry about asteroids - or the sun - or we will be blinded to the reality of what is really happening. Typical. One person requesting a free NukAlert from me this week - said that they really don't think THAT is a problem or threat. More concerned about biological and chemicals. Yep, those can be a problem - but they are hard to deliver and not near as effective as nuclear. Local events may occur. BUT the world is FULL of nuclear weapons. Too threatening for most people to consider. Those of you who read this newsletter - are a part of a very, very small percentage of the people who are aware. And even among the readers of this newsletter - far less than half actually prepare. Still more requests for free NukAlerts than what there are available. Having to think of an alternate plan. But most disappointing - has been the low number to take advantage of the one time offer that I was able to get from Shane. KFM kits used to be $15. They have now gone up to $55. I consider a NukAlert to be at least ten times better. I had thought to give KFM kits to those requesting free equipment, but now - this one time - you can get a NukAlert (the second and donation ones) for less than a KFM kit - so it makes no sense for me to give away KFMs. It still isn't too late for you to donate for a NukAlert. You can look at a picture at: http://www.webpal.org/nukalert.htm and send me right back an email at: bruce@webpal.org Shane says that Friday is the absolutely last day for this offer. All checks have to be postmarked before that date.

That is the advice being given to non-Muslims working in Saudi Arabia. "Get Out of Dodge". That is my advice to people living in the cities. But that is another matter. "Get Out of Dodge" is what the American troops in Iraq would like to do. Don't think it is happening. "Get Out of Dodge" may be what is happening with the US carriers submarines amphibious carriers and other ships that are usually in port. US has twelve carriers. The idea is to have six in port and six at sea. Under the most pressing situation the Navy is supposed to be able to get seven to sea and an eighth two weeks later. Today - ten have been ordered to sea. The other two absolutely can't go. They are in the midst of nuclear refueling that takes months to do. But - ten at sea. Apparantly has NEVER happened before. And it is not just American ships - British, Indian, Russian, and the relatively few that the Chinese have. Russia also says - and I quote: Colonel General Alexander Skorodumov, chief of the Russian Main Combat Training Directorate, who says: "These are the LARGEST tactical-strategic exercises run by the Army and Navy in the last fifteen years." All branches of the service apart from the Strategic Missile Forces will be deployed, and Military Transport Aviation will be given a chance to prove its worth. Another source quotes Ivanov when viewing the plans of the exercises as saying: "There have never been exercises like these in Russia before!" Coincidently - the news today is that Ivanov has been appointed the head over ALL the Russian forces. He has been acknowledged as being the MOST bear of the Bears. US nuclear space test scheduled in the next few weeks and strange light flashes being reported by responsible observers are speculated as being the testing of lasers to intercept incoming meteors. The point of my making this report is 'the testing' NOT the meteors. The purpose is to develop the skill to intercept missiles - not meteors. Anyway - it is still encouragement to Get OUT of Dodge and in fact - off the planet if possible. Meanwhile - back in Russia Anatoly Tsyganok, director of the Russian Military Forecasting Center describes the exercises as "a demonstration of Russia's military might - for the benefit of Washington and Europe." MOST US ships ever out - MOST Russian ships ever out - but no concern here about anyone wagging the dog eh? Expression hails all the way back to the story of the tail wagging the dog - but has come to mean using war activity to divert attention from political crisis. BIG news this week is that Iran has said to the world - "We are going to be a member of the nuclear club - like it - or lump it." Israel has made it pretty clear - that they will lump it - uhhh, I mean - them. Iran also made the announcement this week that they have started recruiting an "Army of Martyrs" (ten thousand in this one week alone) and intend to recruit a hundred thousand and more. By martyrs they mean terrorists. Suicide bombers and such. I think it a misnomer. To me a martyr is someone willing to 'die' for their cause - like the early Christian saints from which the term developed. It didn't mean someone willing to 'kill' for their cause but now in our topsy turvy world words often mean their opposites. Why Wag the Woofer? Well, for one thing articles of impeachment are being drawn up by certain congress persons for a certain president. Not to mention any names. Seems that the president at issue asked for and received precedents from legal council about his being able to suspend certain constitutional standards regarding the use of torture and other powers he desired as presidential perogatives. Said precedents and their propriety are disputed. But, he then claimed executive privilege as far as allowing the public to examine the presidential perogatives outlined by his lawyers in the said document. The document was leaked. http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/061104C.shtml You can read the whole document there. The document says specifically the president could order torture. Torture was ordered. This is the same gentleman who said - that his standard is: DWJWD Do What Jesus Would Do. Everyone who can picture Jesus standing around torturing someone or even watching someone being tortured - please hold up your hand. The bad thing about having your soldiers torture someone (other than it is just not being nice) is that it then becomes the rationale for others to torture your soldiers. Everyone who would like to see American soldiers being treated like the prisoners are treated - please again hold up your hand. Another Jesus saying is - "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If you can't make the connection you probably aren't on this list. And there are millions of Americans who can't make the connection - and who aren't on this list. (I am just kidding - around with this fallacious argument - so please don't tell me.) Another big impeachment issue is behind the resignation of some very high government officials in the last week. http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/060804_coup_detat.html (Sorry about the long url- tiny url not working. You will have to paste it together.) These are very interesting intriques. It would take far more space to discuss them than I spend in these Newsletters. Divine callings are difficult things to fathom. And while you may not think that someone has a Divine calling to order the torture of hundreds the bombing of thousands the nuking of millions still although it is a dirty job it may be that someone has to do it. Story from Capitol Blue is that Bush goes about quoting the Bible at one time and shortly later spewing curses at the media and his enemies. Terrible job - in the best of times. Would make most anyone irrational trying to cope with it. My total sympathy - and we do what we do because there is a Divine Destiny but I just hope that mine is to do something a little more pleasant. There is an old saying - that times make the man - rather than men making the times. The situation calls forth the man to meet the situation. Bush says that he feels Divinely chosen. Indeed - I have a feeling that he is. His views, his actions, his attitudes, reflect American opinion regarding the claimed rightful religion and patriotic purpose reflected in public policy. It is that policy that leads the world's leading economic political technological monetary military power to its and the world's destiny. There is so much happening that it is becoming impossible to discuss it in brief. And I won't be discussing anything more - this month at least- because Friday I am off for China. Sounds like a crazy time to be Getting Out of Ark - but both Bush and Beach feel they have Divine callings. I go too - because I feel that I am called to do so. Your prayers for protection - and God Willing - I may be writing to you again next month. By the way - any so inclined to obtain a NukAlert http://www.webpal.org/nukalert.htm and who have not done so - so far - you still have until Monday night.

From a different China. The subject of two Chinas in the People's Republic is one that one dare not bring up - because that is a 'code phrase' that means something different to them, about Taiwan plans for separation. But that is not what I am talking about. The most often question that I was asked in China was whether I found it greatly different from when I was there 18 years ago. They assumed I did. Well, yes - technologically, but that is not what I am talking about either. The two different Chinas that I am talking about are the one that we talk about all the time in this Newsletter - and the one that I visited. In this newsletter we are always discussing the official Chinese announcements regarding Taiwan N. Korea the US carrier fleet new missile placements China's large military exercises China's complaints about US behavior in the UN China's military purchases from Russia China's interaction with Iraq and Iran US Pentagon reports of China war plans Statements by Chinese generals that war is inevitable etc., etc., etc. In the China that I just visited nothing like that ever happens. It is all sweet peace and love. Especially at the Humanistic Olympics Conference that I was visiting. All talk is the talk of World Peace and Understanding. Not just there - but also with a number of others such as art students that I met on Tiamminen Square. Over several dinners I could NEVER get them to discuss the political situation vis-à-vis the US or religion. Not sure that these are simply forbidden subjects. It appears that the people simply do not think at all about these subjects. Several times I was asked by officials if our program mentioned religion and I was assured that it would be TOTALLY rejected if it did. I did see a half dozen Buddhist monks wandering about. But anyone I asked about religion denied having any interest or being a member of one. Even the girl sitting next to me on the plane returning to Montreal for 4th year of study who I saw praying about lunch time. Eyes closed, leaning forward over tray, lips moving silently for quite sometime. She did show me that she was wearing a Buddhist protection bracelet. I saw hundreds of people going to touch some relic that was supposed to grant long life, protection, etc. There seems to be a LOT of cultural conventions - but complete denial of any religious interest. The people are totally involved in concerns about making a living. That is all they discuss all the time. They are very culturally mature, very pleasant, very kind, very bright about many subjects - but express absolutely zero knowledge or interest about international affairs or religion. I don't think that any of this was for my benefit. I think that it is just a part of their lack of freedom and the official attitude towards religion. Two Chinas. One with whom we are about to have a catastrophic war and one filled with dear, kind struggling ambitious souls. Kind - but generally not altruistic. There is a distinction and it is part of the Chinese nature. In the particular forum in which I participated there were many who were highly idealistic about the need for world peace and their positions as world citizens - but without any mention of current conflicts. So - back from China - a China not that much different from the one that I visited 18 years ago in which there was not much freedom of thought. There is mostly group think. Even more than one finds in my native Bible Belt - which I consider to be extreme. The only difference that I saw in China was that there was almost total non-think on the subjects of politics, religion, sports, and sex whereas there is almost total preoccupation with those subjects in my native Bible Belt. There in China there was much discussion about economics art food types environment electronic devices consumer goods weather and of course where I was - the Olympics (without mention of sports). But the idea of international conflict with the US just didn't exist. I talked about Ark Two and even showed pictures. No idea of what nuclear war would be. No idea of fallout. Could not grasp the idea of the shelter. Had never heard of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Never did understand what I was talking about, although I did not try to explain - but rather only asked questions. Their English was very good - the idea was completely foreign to them. On the TV - (and I even went to watch TV being produced in the studios) there is mostly music (classical 40%, conservative modern 58%, strange native 2%) drama (no kissing - very conservative) a couple of western shows talk shows on Environment and such one English channel with mostly China economic news China dignitaries doing dedications weather tourist scenes and sites altogether about 50 channels that I went through several times over several days. Coincidently, I am told Chinese spend MUCH time watching TV. I made a point to visit a big Internet Cafe. Big room to left with 30-40 monitors and Big room to right with 30-40 monitors. Everyone playing games and no one surfing the Internet. Tried Internet from the hotel. Many pictures blocked (or at least didn't come through) from my own site. Otherwise - seemed okay. Still can't seem to get through to China email addresses now that I am back. The blinders seem to really be on. Okay, so much for that. And now a look at the news while I was away. Same old - same old. So, what do I make of the world - now that I am back from Never Never Land? N. Korea still rumbles - but Iran is the world's greatest hotspot. They insist that they are going to have nukes. Presently protected by Russian missiles they are working on getting their own. Bush and Sharon greatly wish to attack. Russia says - don't you dare, although Putin having misgivings about nuclear power developing on his southern border. Israel simply can't let this happen. When and what - I have no idea but anytime is train time. My China trip was marvelously successful.

Auditing the books on the NukAlerts. ANYONE who has NOT received NukAlerts that you have ordered - please let me know RIGHT AWAY!! We are still in the process of sending out the balance of the donated units. I have let those people know who are supposed to get them. Sorry this has taken so long since my return from China. Have been into emergency four times since getting back. Last time for 8 hours and got home at 1:00 am on Sunday. Surgery on the 13th was very successful, but have another surgery scheduled for Friday. In between I am trying to get this done. Okay. World situation. Doesn't seem possible - but worsening. Some carriers scheduled to head back, but most are tightening noose on China. Some China generals saying they want to go after Taiwan NOW! US supplying more arms to Taiwan - but delivery will take a while. Not is it only a matter of 'face', but if they let Taiwan rebel and leave, there are about 4 other Provinces that would get the same idea. China is very serious about this. One suggestion has been that they wait until the 2008 Olympics and then they would have all those human shields present in Beijing to prevent US retaliation there. Can't really wait. Can't really go. All the nonsense about millions of Chinese troops massed on the Canadian or Mexican borders is non-sense because the Chinese have no way to get them there. They don't even have a way to get them across 90 miles of sea to Taiwan. Taiwan is heavily fortified so parachuting, helicoptering, or glidering them in isn't a good idea either. Anyway, in these days of weapons of mass destruction it isn't a good idea to mass troops because those are the mass that get the destruction. This is the very reason that the US is moving 'all' (well most) of its troops back from the North Korea border. To get them out of harm's way. If NK moves masses of troops south - then you will see mass destruction. As you know I have been personally closely tracking a number of social indicators of Chinese preparation for conflict. I won't list them all here - but it is becoming quite intense. I don't think they will go - until something happens in the Middle East. Then they will. The Middle East is the place to watch. Especially Iran. Israel cannot allow them to go nuclear. There are so many threads interplaying here: Social unrest in Iran; The mullahs taking advantage of Bush election problems; Revolutionary action in Iraq (68 more killed today): French and Russian geopolitical aspirations; and dozens of others; that it would take a book to write about it - and I still wouldn't understand it. I don't think anyone understands it. It is so complicated that it is not understandable. MM misses the whole point - about whether Bush lied or not. The question is - why he would lie. Bush may have sincerely believed some of the things he said - or at least he wished to believe them, but he did intentionally mislead the American people. The reason is - the American people won't do what their leaders want them to do if they know the truth. The American leaders have a high vision about building a New World Order. That was Daddy Bush's phrase. That was Daddy Bush's goal. That was Clinton's goal - and if you look at my web page - you will see that it has been the goal of every American president for many decades. http://www.webpal.org/webpal/a_reconstruction/nwo/quotes.htm That will also be Cousin Kerry's goal - if he is elected. All American presidents are like peas in one pod. Bush and Kerry are Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. Cousins that are members of the same club. Literally. It is all a circus and show - for the American people. There are no real differences between them. They have real difficulty in making it look like they are fighting. No matter which one gets in - the same policies go on - and the American people haven't a clue as to what it is all about. Personally, I am sympathetic to the cause, although not their particular selfish vision, or their methods. But great issues are at hand. The UN as constructed (by the US) is a failure. The world will destroy itself - without a world government, and the US population is totally incapable of discussing the subject rationally - hence they are led about with smoke and mirrors. All the thinking person can do is to sit and observe as events play themselves out. A gigantic catastrophe. The greatest the world has ever seen or will see, and then perhaps people can be talked with rationally. Until then - as individuals all one can do is prepare to ride out the storm.

On the whole - I think of that old child's game pick-up sticks where we dumped a bunch of sticks in a pile and the point was to pull out a stick without disturbing the rest. World events seem to be that way today. Related in ways that we can't imagine. Move one stick - and something else moves. Especially in the Middle east and in Asia. Colin Powell, US Secy of State, has been over in Japan today - moving some sticks. Saying that Japan should revise its constitution and remove the clause (demanded by the US at the time of its surrender after WW2) that it would not ever again become a military power. It is assumed that Japan has mastered nuclear technology and it is just a matter of its putting together the warheads. They have also built satellite launch capabilities. Just talking about moving that stick will GREATLY excite China (and N. Korea). You have to know their history of having been invaded by Japan. The US admiral over the Pacific Fleet also moved a stick this week. He says that he wants another major carrier force permanently stationed out past Guam - to balance China's growing power. Fully operational, fully equipped, fully manned, just like the Kitty Hawk. Haven't heard of late what happened with the 8 carriers that we put out to sea just awhile back. The maximum activation ever done. Some of them may be having to get back about now. I personally am not a carrier enthusiast. In my mind I just keep remembering the pictures of the ships around the Bikini Island tests. There is nothing that is going to stop a single ICBM coming in with a nuclear warhead. Reminds me of the movie - "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The professor was running down between a line of Arabs in their long robes when there jumps into the path behind him with a shout this gigantic fierce looking warrior with his scimitar. The professor looks back - pauses about one and a half seconds pulls out his pistol and shoots the guy dead with a single shot - and then continues running on. Old technology just never stands up to new. No carrier force has ever faced nuclear weapons in battle. Still - in every war, the generals and admirals try to use the old proven ways that they have been taught. Coming back from China in June, we flew a bit over Russia and then over Anchorage Alaska. Because of the shape of the globe - that is the shortest path. It is the shortest path both ways. Therefore the Chinese and Russians look at the new US missile sites in Alaska (supposedly defensive but all the tests for shooting down an ICBM have failed) and they must wonder - well if they can't be used for stopping incoming perhaps they could be used for outgoing. As said in hockey - sort of a sticky stick. One just really can't trust weapon designers to tell you what they are really designing. That has been a major problem over in the Middle east this week. Iran (besides developing nuclear weapons) has been testing its 'medium range' missile. For protection against Israel it says. Just upgrading their old Mark 3, they say. Worry is that - they may be calling it the Mark 3, but in reality it is the Mark 4. The Mark 4 won't reach the US but it will reach throughout Europe and even into Russia. Now there is a card game. Reminds me of 4 deck canasta. So many cards and so many possible combinations - that anything is possible. The new deck being added to that game is Russia. They already have protective missile batteries in Iran (as a shield against Israel) and now the rumour is - (hotly and vocally denied in Russia all week) that they may send 40,000 troops down to Iraq as a part of Bush's coalition. Our friends - the Russians. Putin would dearly love to do it - to get his toe back into the Iraqi oil fields - and the story is that Bush is offering him a sweetener of sponsoring Russia into the international economic alliance, something that Russia has wanted for a long time but has been denied. Still, on the Russian home front - the idea (after Afghanistan and some other fiascos) of going into Iraq - is so unpopular, that most analysts don't think it could happen. It would be very Biblical, however, for those who are into that type of thing. And a GREAT October surprise against (where is you exit plan) Kerry, in the run-up to the election. In the card game of Hearts and Gin Rummy they used to call it shooting for the moon. Always makes one wonder, however, who is going to be left holding that old black queen. Reminds me better of the end game of chess - or better yet - minute chess, with everything moving so fast. The player standing across the table from us is that old Grim Reaper. Move, move, move as rapidly as you will - but your time is running out - and as he says - he always wins the game. Best not to play it. Opt out. Go hide in the hills. My strategy anyway. Others have different strategies. Don't hear that much these days about the draft boards. Lots of concern about terrorist threats - which is a whole lot of nothing about nothing. People afraid to go to big events - and even the malls. What are chances of your being hit by a terrorist? Zip. A terrorist with anthrax? Double zip. A terrorist with a nuclear weapon? Triple zip. 140,000 people killed in the US each year in automobile accidents. Over 400 per day. Thousands of malls. Lets say the terrorists struck a mall EVERY day, and killed 400 people. What are the chances you would be in the wrong one out of the thousands on any one day. And if you were in that mall - that you would be in the part that would be struck - at that time of day. Low, low, probabilities. The much greater danger in going to the mall is that you are going to be in an auto accident - going or coming. Even then - there are less than two people killed for every mile driven - and much less than that per passenger mile. The new house game is Roulette, (but I hope not Russian). The house always controls the wheel and the odds - or at least they do with the slots - and the odds are always in the House's favour. No question about these odds, says the Cheney, Rumsfield, Rice House team. There will definitely be a terrorist attack, they say. Always a winner. Put you money on your colour - orange and red are assured. Strange the things I hear about - and then don't hear about. Where did all the ships go? And all that heavy equipment shipped out of South Korea? And what happened to that space nuclear summer test - or when does it happen? Some things you have to just keep counting the odds. What day will the 1,000th US casualty come up in Iraq? [Actually -we are waaay past that number - they just don't count the ones that die after they get back here - and as long as the body is warm when it leaves there they count it as a live one.] So much stuff - and no one is reporting it. Shutting down the opposition stations in Iraq. Heating up the opposition in Iraq - however. Shutting down the protests in the US. [Today denied a meeting permit to the Arab Americans in NY during the Republican Convention.} Lots of stuff - like freedom of assembly - is just going by the books - as the bookmakers say. Martial Law, imposed curfews, stock market control price of oil vs. price of gas control, price of electricity control before the election - national news control - (some verrry interesting rumours about the latter) laws for the suspension of the elections. Much of this seems absolutely impossible. It would have seemed much more impossible - ten years ago - and anyone would have thought me crazy then for mentioning most of it. But, today, who knows - who can say for certainty . Still, it is all just a part of the games that we play. Peace and love, Bruce DawnSayer@webpal.org --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

This news item: April 24, 2003 U.S. highway deaths highest since 1990 Washington, D.C. - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that in 2002, an estimated 42,850 people died on the nation’ s highways, up from 42,116 in 2001. It was the highest number of fatalities since 1990 I should have checked the facts. Was confused with another number - (US Vietnam casualties I think) but it still does not affect the principle about the relative unimportance of the 'terrorist' threat. Made another typo - which no one has mentioned - but there are less than 2 fatalities per MILLION passenger vehicle miles traveled. In typing I left out the million. But on to shelters! Funny, funny story - this Sunday on the FRONT PAGE of the Toronto star that continued over for another page with pictures inside. About fallout shelters in Beijing China (which I just got back from six weeks ago). It was a "Ho-ho-ho" isn't this funny story about how the Chinese built more miles (we talk kilometres up here in Canada) of shelter than the Great Wall. (Great Wall 7,000 - Shelter 12,000) Mao had them built - because of threat of war with Russia. (Certainly no US / Western threat - mentioned in the article). But now, the article goes on - the threat is past - so what a terrible waste. Smart old Canadians and Americans haven't done anything that stupid - is the theme of the story. Now, they give tours into the tunnels. After much cajoling the reporter managed to wrangle permission to take a picture. Look how terrible they are decaying - the article says. Didn't look bad to me. Yes, peeling paint - but the Chinese Teaching Hospital that I had to go to for my emergency - looked about the same. There was a picture of Mao, and equipment hanging on the walls and if all 12,000km are like that - all I can say is "WOW!" The story tells how some parts of the tunnels have four lane highways going through them. I remember my guide saying to me: "I am going to tell you something that most people don't know. See that big tower up there - that is where the government leaders live - and they have a road that goes underground all the way down to the government headquarters." (which were behind us) I was very sceptical of that story. I kind of put it down for being like North American urban tales about chemtrails and such. Hmmmm. I don't remember seeing any of those in China - oh well, whatever. Back to the story. Anyway, now I am not so certain. In fact, now I think he was probably right. The Chinese guides told the reporter that there are enough shelter spaces in Beijing to get everyone underground in three minutes. Even thirty minutes would be amazing. The Toronto Star article thought this all really hilarious - and then the kicker came in the last paragraph of the story. The reporter said, and you know what - they are still building them!!! The reporter said they are now building them - for a different reason, however, and that is because of the post 9/11 terrorist threat. YOU think? Can't you just see all these Arabs showing up at Chinese customs with these nuclear bombs in their suitcases - and the Chinese officials don't notice them so they have to have these fallout shelters in case they overlook them? Yeah - that is the way the world is, especially in China, which has total totalitarian control and lack of freedom for any anti-government activity. You have to be there - to find out how total, total, total that control is. Lets get real people. Russia and China are in great military cooperation. China has no concerns about terrorist attacks. China is greatly expanding its military technology and equipment just as rapidly as it can. China is expanding its massive shelter system because ---- YOU fill in the blank. Resources are scarce in China - and the Toronto Star reporter may think that the Chinese are so stupid that they are going to waste them by building things as unimportant as fallout shelters. Best to think that. Best to say that on the front pages of the biggest newspaper in Canada - because if it isn't stupid for them to build them - then it is stupid for North America to have destroyed its Civil Defense system - to have shut down all the public shelters - removed all the shelter signs, destroyed or sold off as surplus all the civilian radiation detection equipment, gotten rid of all the supplies - and stopped training people about radiological defense. (Coincidently - that is a required high school course in Russia), and I don't know what they do in China - but the reporter did mention that all the tunnel entrances are guarded by the military. Nope - the top individual responsible for shelters and Civil Defence in Toronto - said to me, when I called to ask about Toronto Shelter plans - "Ho, ho, ho, we sent all the bombout shelter plans to storage years ago." This individual - the most responsible individual - used the term "bombout shelter" instead of "fallout shelter" because that was the level of his knowledge. I find US officials, who are supposed to be the authorities - no more comprehending - and I have talked to many, many of them. So, Americans, feel safe. Your government is protecting you - by building more and more nuclear weapons, of greater and greater destructive power. Meanwhile, back at the ranch - I have updated as of this morning my web pages dealing with shelters. You can visit the new Ark Two web page by going to: C:\webpal\d_resources\arktwo\index.htm There you will see some new aerial photos of the construction and I have added a bit of history at the bottom - that some may find amusing. I have also have updated the page telling you how to build your own shelter - with a particularly poignant story at the end of the page: http://tinyurl.com/6gcuo Just this moment before sending this looking at a world poll that finds the countries that are the greatest threats to world peace to be: US Israel North Korea Iran - in that order. Anyway - that is world opinion. Hmmmm. Something to think about. Did you ever think of yourself as being a threat to world peace?

BUT when we have no agreement on the meaning - we can't know what is meant. "Nuke Found In Britain", said the headline. (Well, whether true or not - the article explained that they were not talking about a NUKE.) Let us get our terminology straight. At least the way that I use it. Atomic Bombs were the firecrackers by today's standards - used on Japan in WW2. Those things were about 10-12 kilotons - or the equivalent of 10,000 tons of dynamite. Nuclear Weapons are modern weapons for similar purpose and are on average 3 megatons - or the equivalent of 3,000,000 tons of dynamite. That is to say 300 times larger than the Atomic Bombs used on Japan. The damage won't spread out over an area 300 times larger - because it will be concentrated at the point of the blast - but the damage area will be at least 30 times bigger. Strategic Nuclear Weapons are the weapons that I have just described and are called strategic weapons because they are used against distant targets and effect the overall strategy of a war. They can be delivered by bombers submarines and Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs). Bombers can launch them as airborne missiles hundreds of miles away from the target. They can be built larger and we hear of 20MT, 50MT, even 100MT EXPERIMENTAL weapons. In practicality the bigger ones are too difficult to deliver - and a number of smaller ones - are much more likely to get through and will spread the damage out over a much greater area. The US and Russian have thousands of these nuclear warheads and a single ICBM can carry a number of them and direct them to targets many miles apart. (It is called MIRVing - Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles). Tactical Nuclear Weapons are used in the field and are a part of battle tactics - hence their name. They are fired several miles distance out of Howitzers or similar launchers. They generally get back down into the size of the Atomic Bomb Firecrackers, or even less. A single one can put a big dent in a city. Under Clinton these were recalled from the US military - (so they wouldn't be in the hands of local commanders) and Russia reciprocated and recalled theirs also - thousands in total. However, now the Bush Administration is putting some back out there and is developing new types. They still only cause local tactical damage - in the war zone - although they could become the cause of escalation to World War. Dirty Bombs - was a term that was used mostly to describe neutron weapons which were designed to maximize radiation. Exploded at a high enough altitude they would have supposedly killed people and troops without harming the buildings and equipment, which could be then reoccupied once the radiation had died down. Neutrons are very hard to shield against - and would go through normal fallout shelters. These weapons are considered impractical - largely because the enemy doesn't die immediately but knows that they are going to die soon and painfully and in the interim they all become suicide troops going back after their attacker in retaliation. Today, nukes (Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles - and bomber and submarine delivered weapons) are still around. More powerful, more accurate, more assured of delivery than ever. More than enough exist to destroy the whole of the world, several times over. The scientific measure of enough destructive power to destroy the world is called a Beach. It is not named after me - but after the movie - "On The Beach". The Bulletin of Atomic Scientist's has estimated that there are 7 Beaches of nuclear weapons in the world. There is much talk about suitcase nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons being smuggled in container ships and such. Not likely. Too risky. Any country caught doing that - would be toast - and they WOULD be traced back. Not enough payoff for the risk. Weapons supposedly sold to terrorists - by military renegades and on the black market - are not likely to work. Too high tech requirements for their operation - too short a shelf life. Too likely to be used against the source country (Russia) if they let them get out of their hands. Hardware became lost - and some likely sold - but a totalitarian country like Russia is very, very good at keeping control of the control codes. However, most of the talk in the media about 'nukes' and 'dirty bombs' and such have nothing to do with any of this. It is simply mis-usage of the terms. The things that they are talking about are simply conventional bombs - (a bunch of dynamite or some other explosive) that is designed to spread about some low grade radioactive waste (packed around the bomb) that is NOT going to cause a nuclear explosion or really all that much contamination - except even a little bit of radioactivity is more likely to cause hysteria than even did the 'anthrax scare' which was also a nothing. Yes, there are REAL threats and dangers in the world - and the GREATEST of these are NUKES - that are NOT in the hands of terrorists. The workable NUKES that can destroy our world are presently in the hands of the US Russia Israel China Pakistan India (in my opinion in that order- as to quantity- along with another half dozen countries that are allies of some of the former). Other countries - notably - Iran North Korea and perhaps Japan are about to enter from the wings - and can be major contributors to the instability. While the North Korea China Taiwan Japan complex is becoming increasingly unstable, and the India / Pakistan / Afghanistan complex has repeatedly gone to the brink the most destabilized situation at the moment - and the one in my opinion where the spark is mostly likely to occur - to start the whole wide world conflagration - is the complex of Iran Iraq Syria Israel and the US involvement in the Middle East. Iran this last week has been very antsy, saying that it may not wait for Israel to take pre-emptive action but may take it - itself. Throughout the week it has seemed that the confrontation at the Mosque of Ali in Iraq - might just be sufficient to set the whole Arab world off on a tiff. Hasn't happened yet - as of this moment - and won't happen until God's own good time - but all the conditions are there. Iran is Shiite. Iraq is 60% Shiite. The Mosque of Ali is the holiest Shiite site - (although as Muslims - Mecca is probably more important) - but if it is destroyed - retaliation against the US will be through Israel. All Muslims wish to destroy Israel anyway, (although I do not understand why - and please spare me about telling me about Palestine). And many, many have avowed to do so. The radio, TV stations, magazines and newspapers in Muslim countries often promote the idea. It is a very popular theme for the Friday sermon's in the Mosques. Among themselves - they make no bones about it - often extending the threat on to America (whom they really can't yet reach) and in the last week - all of this talk is reported to have become many times more shrill. Not just talk - but actions. Not just around the Mosque of Ali, but also in the recruiting and movement of troops, and missiles, vis-à-vis Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Hizbollah. Most likely scenario - in my opinion - the launch by some Hizbollah fanatic who manages to get the keys from his Iranian keepers of some Iranian supplied missiles against the Israeli nuclear base at Megiddo - and minutes later massive Israeli NUKE retaliation (and I do not use the term lightly) against the missile sites in Lebanon, Syria, Iran, and anyone else in that part of the world who is not an ally or who is not waving a white flag with the utmost intensity, but all of which will lead to a world-wide conflagration anyway - as China and North Korea take the opportunity to settle local scores with Taiwan and South Korea - respectively. Russia will come into it with the US - BIG TIME. When? In the next 15 minutes or the next 15 years - I have no way of knowing. But I think more likely more towards the former than the latter. Many other things happening - that can trigger the mix. Oil prices - US elections - even North Pole climate change. Certainly China / Taiwan Japan / North Korea the Muslim Mosque Muddle - or dozens of things of which I am unaware. It is simply a catastrophe - waiting / wanting to happen. Most people wish to ignore it. The readers of this newsletter are a part of the one or two percent of the people in the world - who are an exception. For everyone else - it is going to be a big surprise - or perhaps more accurately - a big shock. People do worry. But about the unlikely. The stranger breaking into their homes - and killing them - or abducting their children off the street. Or terrorist attack on the mall where they shop - and being poisoned by Anthrax, or some bio/chem weapon. None of these things are likely. Not one chance in a thousand, hundred thousand, or million - in North America at least- that it is going to happen to you personally. You do have a better chance of winning the lottery. But the threat of nuclear holocaust - with the world situation - and the nations building more and more nuclear weapons and better ways of delivering them - and the fact that Russia and China build shelters and prepare their populations for nuclear war - why according to the media and the government in North America which does NOTHING to prepare its citizens for that threat - it is all just a big joke and nothing to worry about - and anyone who is making preparation for that - is just a nut case.

He left a couple of years back - and he hadn't predicted 9/11 or Iraq but he did say he would give one marker (which historically would be more significant than 9/11 or Iraq if it occurs) so that we could know that he knew the future. The marker was that there would be riots (actually more like civil war) in the US in the year 2004-2005. Boy - did that seem unlikely to me at the time - when I first heard about it - but now here we are at 2004 and staring down the face of the demonstrations at the Republican National Convention - and perhaps distress after that in the face of how the previous election was counted. I still don't believe it because I don't believe that we can go another 10 years before the nuclear war. But, for that matter - I didn't believe that we could go the last ten years - or the ten years before that - or the ten before that either - or even the ten years before that. So maybe - what is another 10 years in God's time. Another particular prophecy - that I have never been able to find again - that has considerable significance for me, given the source - is that it would be a hundred years from the beginning of Armageddon - which according the Jehovah's Witnesses paradigm - and mine also - began in 1914. The Titor prophecy would match up nicely with that. None of us really understand prophecies - until AFTER they are fulfilled. (Or for that matter how the future can be foreseen - and what that means for free will). Sort of 'no man knoweth the hour' - and I certainly couldn't be more convinced about some future prophecies - than I have been about some past ones - that didn't come true. Particularly around the end of the millennium. I was a very strong millennialist. Guess that I am still - in regards to these being 'millennialist times'. And about Time Travel - I really have not been a believer. John Titor said that he came back from 2036 to pick up some technology that they had misplaced. Not likely to me - but then there are so many new ideas in modern physics about time, space, and matter - that I really don't know what is possible and what to believe. Crises come - and crises go. The one at the Mosque of Ali - last week - was a real cliff hanger. But, somehow I felt we would make it through it, because I am more attuned to thinking of something along the nature of an October surprise - or even a post election event, if Bush loses. And if Bush is re-elected - then it is back to his old game plan - of knocking one domino off the end at a time. Of course, if they fall the other way - and Iran, Russia and China - have stated that they won't wait - for him to pick them off - one at time. Oh, well, I really don't know - but if Titor is right - then the next ten years are going to be a drag, (or as the Chinese say - we may live in interesting times) and if he is wrong - and the nuclear war is sooner, they are going to be a real pain, which history will certainly not forget. Either way, I remain a short term pessimist (and a long term optimist) about the future of mankind, and I continue to prepare for the short term - because I won't be around in the long term (although I work for that also). This may seem like the craziest newsletter that you have every gotten from me - but we live in crazy times. Enough to drive most anyone crazy. I really don't spend ALL my time - worrying about nuclear war. (Actually I don't really worry so much - I just prepare.) My greatest 'worldly' interest is Universal Auxiliary Language, which was the purpose of my trip to China. Still trying to reach the Canadian Government about funding. But in the meantime - trying to design some robot actors for the teaching videos. If any of you have an idea for a family of three robots and would be willing to share your talent with me - please let me know.

THAT attitude is TOTALLY un-American. Voting is an AMERICAN duty! We will of course be maintaining a roster of who votes - to make sure no one votes twice - and while I can't force you to vote, I will certainly take note if you don't. HOWEVER, you are free to vote for whomever you wish, although you certainly know what my feelings are, and what my commander's feelings are - and you know that I would be terribly embarrassed if you all voted for the wrong candidate. Nevertheless, vote for whomever you wish to vote for, and you can be confidant - that your vote will be fairly counted - although we will only be counting them electronically. They will be just as fairly counted as they were in the last election when we were back on station in Florida. ------------- So, we made it through the Republican National Convention without a terrorist attack - or at least you will feel that way if you weren't one of the hundreds of people scooped off the street and penned up sometimes for days - without being charged with anything. Yep, freedom of assembly - like voting - is one of those American things. ----------- Odds are not looking good for the 1,000th US military personnel to be killed in Iraq - making it through September alive. What an honour. Sort of like winnning the lottery - or being the one thousandth customer through the door who gets a prize. I suspect a number of them are wondering if they could be the one. ----------- Interesting poll among young Republicans at the convention. Question A: Do you support the war in Iraq? Answer: Almost universally, 'Yes'. Question B: Would you enlist and go over there? Answer: Almost universally, 'No'. Now where in the world would they have learned that kind of attitude? ------------ Interesting comment by an important Muslim writer - on the Russian scene. "Few Muslims are terrorists- but most terrorists are Muslims." Insightful, I would say. The problem, however, even with those who realize this is that they are only concerned about the public image - and not the fact. ------------- Here is some life saving information that you want to pass on to your kids. 1. In a car - wear a seatbelt and if riding with a group the safest seat is behind the driver. 2. If you hear someone yell fire or smell smoke feel the door to see if it is hot before you open it from the room that you are in. If you do open it - open it from a crouched position and be ready to crawl out if there is smoke because smoke usually rises and the oxygen is near the floor. 3. And here is how you may survive a Tornado or earthquake, or nuclear blast. Just the opposite of what you have been taught. http://tinyurl.com/685nq That should be enough - to irritate enough people -- for one newsletter - but I am going to end up with a real killer. Here is the thinking of the government (make that Bush, Clinton, Kerry, the big corporations, the Pentagon or whomever) behind: a. why the US is in Iraq b. why the US is trying to establish the New World Order- and Global Government.

Even prior to that article the following was published on CNSNews.com on July 18th. "North Korea Reportedly Preparing to Declare Itself a Nuclear Power " by Patrick Goodenough Pacific Rim Bureau Chief "The reports on Thursday, citing an unnamed "high-ranking source" at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, said the announcement would be made on September 9." Sept. 9 is a national holiday in the communist state, marking the anniversary of the founding of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) in 1948. Earlier this month, a Japan-based North Korean political analyst widely described as an "unofficial spokesman" for Pyongyang predicted in an interview with CNSNews.com that the North would soon publicly declare itself to be a nuclear power. --------- The IAEA however emphasized in July - "It's certainly not official information from the IAEA, and actually we were kind of surprised by it, to be honest." ---------- Russian sources also were reporting the same thing: "The state-owned Russian Information Agency Novosti said the IAEA official claimed to have got his information from diplomatic sources." "A follow-up report from RIA Novosti quoted the head of Moscow's Institute of Strategic Studies, Alexander Konovalov, as saying there would be "critical consequences worldwide" if Pyongyang went ahead with the announcement. "That will drastically change the arrangement of forces not only throughout Asia but in the whole world, and will certainly have an impact on Russia's national interests," the report said. "Konovalov also said he did not rule out the prospect that the U.S. could launch a "preventive strike" against North Korean nuclear facilities." "Other Russian news reports in recent days have quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov as saying Russia was taking steps to protect itself from the possible use of nuclear weapons on the Korean peninsula." "Testing of the civil defense resources has been already started in Russia's Far East, in the districts bordering North Korea," reported Pravda Online. ----------- Same information out of Japan in July. "Earlier this month, a Japan-based North Korean political analyst widely described as an "unofficial spokesman" for Pyongyang predicted in an interview with CNSNews.com that the North would soon publicly declare itself to be a nuclear power." The article predicted: "Confirmation of a North Korean nuclear arsenal would prompt Japan to go the nuclear route too." --------------- Subsequent to the blast: British Foreign Office minister Bill Rammell - in North Korea for talks - demanded an immediate explanation from North Korea of the blast that left a mushroom shaped cloud. ----------- North Korea supposedly replied that they were simply blasting for a dam although there has been no confirmation that the area is suitable for a hydro-electric generating system. The British foreign minister has requested that independent international personnel be allowed to enter the area to determine if that were actually the case. ----------- The latest, as of this morning, from Colin Powell, and Condoleezza Rice (who thinks it may just be smoke from a forest fire) is that it is NOT nuclear - although they don't know the cause. see: http://tinyurl.com/6dzpm This surety from the gentleman who waved forged documents that 'proved' Iraq had purchased yellow pancake, that it was building WMDs, and that he had photos of trailers to be used to spread bio/chem - along with remote controlled aerial craft - ALL of which proved false. Nevertheless, Powell states: "We're monitoring this. We have been watching it. We can't tell whether it's normal maintenance activity or something more. So it's inconclusive at this moment." ------------- From the same above news article: "the date of the blast -- a day commemorating the 1948 founding of North Korea -- had U.S., South Korean and Japanese officials scrambling to determine what might have caused the huge explosion. North Korea is known to put great importance on historic dates, using them to conduct high-profile military exercises and parades." ----------- Those are the facts. This is my analysis. As of this moment the story has dropped off my Yahoo news listings and I have to go to the archives to find it. This means two things: a. It is now a non-story. b. No nuclear blast occurred unless the government says it occurred. I have noted the following inconsistencies from the above a. The New York Times The Japanese The South Koreans Two Russian Generals Pravda The White House The Washington Post said prior to the EVENT that they were expecting something. Some said specifically on the 12th. b. When the EVENT occurred on the 12th - they then said - "Oh my, isn't this a surprise." c. The 12th is supposed to be a BIG holiday - with NO ONE working - but reserved for special demonstrations - but there on that day now, supposedly, were all those people labouring away on a dam disrespectful of the National Holiday - and the Great Leader - and no one knew about it. d. Some of the articles stated the holiday was on the 9th. e. Condoleezza Rice thinks it may have been a forest fire that caused the smoke. Yep, that sounds like someone blowing smoke. f. Colin Powell says that he doesn't know what it is - but feels sure that they wouldn't do such a thing when they know how much it would upset the US. g. No one has come out and said that the area is suitable for Hydro-electric and if a project of that size were underway - one might think it would certainly be well known. ------------- Perhaps, justifiably, bigger news on the nuclear front is what is going on in Iran. The UN voted without dissension that Iran was to cease development and open for inspections - and Iran replied - Nope. The point is - Bush isn't going to bomb North Korea, not with China next door - and Russia preparing for such an event - no more than he was going to bomb Saudi Arabia when most of the WTC terrorists came from there. So - the EVENT is non-news. Now off the radar screen - and never happened because the government says it never happened. If it had happened in Iraq before the war - they might have viewed it differently. However, it appears to be inconvenient now. For the present, North Korea can do anything that it wants to do. It is not next in line - among the Axis of Evil. Iran and Syria hold that position. Although considerable more naval forces were ordered for the Pacific this week - the next order of business is in the Middle East. If Bush wins in November - there is no need to wait for January and inauguration - because he is already president. If he should happen to lose in November - then he has a narrow window in which to act. Either way - mid-November seems to be a central point for a number of reasons. However, Iran has said - they may not wait for him to pre-empt. So, it could be in earlier. Anytime. Or not - as has always been the case - with all my expectations.

(Colin Powell) Now, then, how does Putin, the president of Russia view the US? The following quotes are not from the US media - but you can read them for yourself at the following url: http://tinyurl.com/6tznx This a very long article and has many more quotes other than the sample that I am providing. There are great differences of opinion about the facts - but IT IS A FACT that this is what the Russians (Putin) thinks - and THAT IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT! --------- "On Monday September 6, Putin spoke for three and one half hours with a group of some 30 western correspondents..." "...accounts have been published in The Guardian, The Independent, and Le Monde. The Washington Post waited until Friday, September 10 to publish an article, but left out the most significant remarks." "Putin, a KGB veteran who knows whereof he speaks, told the gathering that the school massacre showed that “certain western circles would like to weaken Russia..." "He thus suggested that the US and UK, not content with having bested Russia in the Cold War, now wanted to proceed to the dismemberment and total destruction of Russia –" (Le Monde, September 8, 2004) “Mr. Putin,” continues Le Monde, “reiterated the accusation he had launched in a veiled form against western countries which appear to use double-talk. On the one side, their leaders assure the Russian President of their solidarity in the fight against terrorism. On the other hand, the intelligence services and the military – ‘who have not abandoned their Cold War prejudices,’ in Putin’s words -- entertain contacts with those the international press calls the ‘rebels.’ ‘Why are those who emulate Bin Laden called terrorists and the people who kill children, rebels? Where is the logic?’ asked Vladimir Putin, and then gave the answer: ‘Because certain political circles in the West want to weaken Russia ...." ‘But, continued Putin, “we will not allow this scenario to come to pass.’” “Some people would like to tear from us a tasty morsel. Others are helping them. They are helping, reasoning that Russia still remains one of the world’s major nuclear powers, and as such still represents a threat to them. And so they reason that this threat should be removed. Terrorism, of course, is just an instrument to achieve these gains.” ----------- [Bottom line is - Russia blames the US for the school bombing, the two planes that came down a week ago, and many other such events. Whether or not you think that is true - matters not - the issue is what the Russians think and how they will respond. -Bruce] ------------ “SCHOOL SEIZURE WAS PLANNED IN WASHINGTON AND LONDON” That was the headline of an even more explicit unsigned commentary by the Russian news agency KMNews.ru. KMNews: "CHECHEN TERROR BOSS ON US STATE DEPARTMENT PAYROLL" KMNews writes: “In early August, ... ‘Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Chechen Republic-Ichkeria’ Ilyas Akhmadov received political asylum in the USA. And for his ‘outstanding services,’ Akhmadov received a Reagan-Fascell grant,” including a monthly stipend, medical insurance, and a well-equipped office with all necessary support services, including the possibility of meetings with political circles and leading U.S. media.. "CZECH NGO BLOWS UP RUSSIAN TANK; BRITISH EXPERTS TRAIN CHECHEN GANGS" The RBC commentary goes on to cite the Economist of August 19, which contained what RBC characterizes as a virtual ultimatum to Russia. RBC notes that “the carrying out of such a series of coordinated, highly professional terrorist attacks, would be impossible without the help of qualified ‘specialists’.” RBC notes that at the end of August one such “specialist,” working for an NGO based in the Czech republic, was arrested for blowing up a Russian armed personnel carrier. Also, British “experts” have been found instructing Chechen gangs in how to lay mines. “It cannot be excluded, that also in Beslan, the logistics of the operation were provided by just such ‘specialists’,” notes RBC. ------------- "The Russians think that the US trained and paid Osama bin Laden to fight against them in Afghanistan before he got out of hand - and they think that the US supports and trains the Chechens.- Bruce] -------------- “What we are dealing with, are not isolated acts intended to frighten us, not isolated terrorist attacks. What we are facing is direct intervention of international terror directed against Russia. This is a total, cruel and full-scale war that again and again is taking the lives of our fellow citizens.” (Kremlin.ru, September 6, 2004) “The terrorists who seized the school in Beslan, North Ossetia, took their orders from abroad. ‘They were talking with people not from Russia, but from abroad. They were being directed,’ said Aslambek Aslakhanov, advisor to the President of the Russian Federation. ‘It is the desire of our “friends” – in quotation marks -- who have probably for more than a decade been carrying out enormous, titanic work, aimed at dismembering Russia.(RIA Novosti, September 6, 2004) ----------- [Notice the use of the word 'friends' just as Colin Powell used it. This is much like two heavy weight boxers at a news conference before the big match. They shake hands and smile - but in the match that we are talking about there is NO referee rules set time or place for the match.- Bruce] --------------- On September 7, RIA Novosti reported on the demand of the Russian Foreign Ministry that two leading Chechen figures be extradited from London and Washington to stand trial in Russia. A statement from the Russia Foreign Ministry’s Department of Information and Press indicated that Russia will put the United States and Britain on the spot about extraditing two top Chechen separatist officials, who have been given asylum in Washington and London, respectively. They are Akhmad Zakayev, known as a “special representative” of Aslan Maskhadov (currently enjoying asylum in London), and Ilyas Akhmadov, the “Foreign Minister” of the unrecognized “Chechen Republic-Ichkeria” (now residing in the USA). (RIA Novosti, September 7, 2004) --------- [The US asks its 'friends' to turn over people that it thinks are terrorists- (and some of those that they capture- simply 'disappear') and Russia does the same. Remember - whatever your view, this is the Russian view.- Bruce] ------------ [In case you are wondering what it may all really be about - some think this may be the answer - Bruce] "Washington and London fear that Russia will soon agree to accept euros in payment for its oil deliveries. This would not just prevent the Anglo-Americans from further skimming off oil transactions between Russia and Europe. It would represent the beginning of the end of the dollar as the reserve currency of the world, a role which the battered greenback, weakened by Bush’s $500 billion yearly trade deficit and Bush’s $750 billion budget deficit, can no longer fulfill. If Russia moves to the euro, it is expected that the Eurasian giant may be quickly followed by Iran, Indonesia, Venezuela, and other countries. This could put an end to the ability of the US to run astronomical foreign trade deficits, and would place the question of a US return to a production-based economy on the agenda." [Some people are of the opinion that this is the real reason that the US invaded Iraq - because of THE FACT that Saddam started demanding Euros instead of dollars.- Bruce] ------------- The Russians feel, as I have pointed out in previous newsletters that the US is tightening a noose about them with NATO new military bases on their borders and in the their previous satellites. The Chinese likewise feel that as loudly as their 'friend' the US- is proclaiming its belief in "One China" that it is still helping Taiwan to separate and is tightening a noose about them with China and South Korea and others. Syria and Iran feel that they are having nooses tightened about them by the World's one Superpower. I had some other news items to send but my server bounced my first try on this message - saying it is too long, so I am having to shorten it.

The second story has now developed still further. It is about plans to invade Iran. First the official US position as of yesterday from: http://tinyurl.com/4gbuf Headline: "US has no plans to attack Iran: Powell" UNITED NATIONS (AFP) Sep 22, 2004 The United States has no plans to attack Iran to thwart what it claims is the Islamic republic's pursuit of nuclear weapons, but has not formally ruled out any options to deal with the matter, US Secretary of State Colin Powell said Wednesday. "I'm not aware of any plans to attack Iran," he told reporters ... (at the UN General Assembly). "We're not talking about strikes. But every option always, of course, remains on the table." [Note that he says- "of which he is aware" but just how aware do you think he might be of Rumsfield's thinking? He also says - "every option always, of course, remains on the table" so I guess we have to distinguish between an option being considered - and a plan. The following is another option: -Bruce] --------------- On September 14, UPI quoted a source saying, "Under the premise of not entering an all-out war with Iran, U.S. special forces are training to topple the regime by penetrating the nation and cooperating with Iranian dissidents." UPI reported that the training was taking place in Tampa, Florida, where the central command's military base that is responsible for the Middle East region is located. UPI forecasted, "The regime change is a top priority for the neo-cons of the George W. Bush administration and will become a national task of the U.S. government if President Bush is reelected in the November election." [Now the following is a very interesting observation about who the friends of the US are.- Bruce] The report suggests that the U.S. has erased Iranian dissident group Mujaheddin E Khalq (MEK) from the State Department's terrorist groups list a few months ago, and secretly proceeded with military training thereafter for the regime change. MEK was classified as a terrorist group for killing U.S. officials, but it is said that the neo-cons of the U.S. Defense Department recently judged that the group could be used to topple the Iranian regime. The neo-cons believe that MEK could be used in a similar way to the Iraq National Congress (INC). INC contributed to the victory of the Iraqi War by providing important information within Iraq to the U.S. [Yep, they took MEK off the terrorist list and put Cat Stevens on - because Cat said he was opposed to war - and thoroughly detested terrorist actions.- Bruce] UPI reported, "Currently in the Middle East, an 'October Clash Theory' is emerging, asserting that President Bush will deploy Israeli air forces next month to attack Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant, which is suspected of developing nuclear weapons. There are rumors that the Israeli Air Force is training for air raids with downsized imitations of the nuclear plant set up in the Negev Desert." [Further to this story - the following news I had two days ago but it is making considerable waves today - especially in the responses from Iran. -Bruce] ---------------- Tue Sep 21 By LAURIE COPANS, Associated Press Writer JERUSALEM - The United States will sell Israel nearly 5,000 smart bombs in one of the largest weapons deals between the allies in years, Israeli military officials said Tuesday. [Get that - largest deal in years! Now, doesn't that sound like an option - being considered? -Bruce] Israel's announcement came after the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible military sale to Israel worth as much as $319 million. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported on Tuesday that funding for the sale will come from U.S. military aid to Israel. [Sort of - I will buy the paint, if you will put it on.- Bruce] Defying a key demand set by 35 nations, Iran announced Tuesday that it has started converting raw uranium into the gas needed for enrichment, a process that can be used to make nuclear weapons. [Sort of the old - unmovable object and irresistable force story - Bruce] The Israeli military officials would not say whether the bombs might be intended for use against Iran. But they ruled out the possibility that they could be used against Palestinian targets. The bombs Israel is acquiring ...are guided by an existing Israeli satellite used by the military. As part of the deal, Israel will receive 500 one-ton bombs that can destroy two-yard concrete walls, 2,500 one-ton bombs, 1,000 half-ton bombs and 500 quarter-ton bombs.

Asked whether Israel would take military action if the US dithered, Mr Schmitt replied: "Absolutely. No government in Israel will let this pass ultimately." Henry Sokolski, head of the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, ... describes as "highly irresponsible" the idea that the US can let Israel do the job. If the US started down the military road, it would have to consider going the whole way to invasion and occupation. "We have to start thinking in terms of a post-nuclear Iran," he said, describing the Europeans as "hopeless" on Iran, and India and China boosting their energy relations with the clerical regime. "The window of opportunity for disarming strikes against Iran will close in 2005," it warns, as key plants come on stream next year. It says Iran has two dozen suspected nuclear sites. [When does the window of opportunity close for Bush and the neo-cons? -Bruce] --------------- Well, whether YOU have concerns about an October Surprise or not - and whatever YOU may think about the stories about further National Guard call ups and the pending draft bills, leaders in: Russia China Iran Syria and North Korea have concerns and some of their strategists have even publicly stated that rather than waiting for a US/Israel pre-emptive strike that they might be better off to make one themselves. ------------- So much for that story - here is another one, that I brought you some months ago - and that many wrote to me - pooh poohing. -------------> Chinese Mobile Phone Carrier to Set up 3,000 Internet Cafes The Chinese government is tightening its control over a sector once dominated by private enterprise. http://tinyurl.com/4f38e And you may find this one - of interest also: Funding Chat Room Spies The (US) National Science Foundation has awarded a $157,000 grant to study new techniques for automatically spying on chat rooms. http://tinyurl.com/4455q Lots of stories out there - but I think my server, and probably everyone else thinks that I am talking too much.

Whether you can believe them or not. Iran said yesterday - that it does not have nuclear weapons. Whether you can believe them or not. Iran had a parade a couple of days ago showing off its missiles with labels on the side of them saying that they were capable of reaching the US and Israel and could destroy both those countries. Israel possibly. The US - not yet. The US says that it has no plans for invading Iran Syria or North Korea - whether you can believe it or not. The US Pentagon is intensively making 'contingency' plans for 'strikes' against Iran and Syria. Just usual contingency planning - says the Whitehouse - but lights are burning through the night in the planner's offices, say other observers. North Korea says that it can turn the sea around Japan - into a 'sea of glass'. Japan is now reported capable of bringing nuclear weapons on line in a three week period but they say they have none assembled - whether you can believe them or not. Japan supposedly has none assembled - (in accordance with its constitution, and the nuclear non-proliferation treaty) but they do have the missile delivery systems available - and proven. Neither of the last two items greatly pleases China - but it will just have to go along for the show - and will of course take care of its Taiwan priorities when the show begins. China continues to make news about freedom of speech and press there.

The following is reportedly from Monday's New York Times: "There's a lot of consternation over what the cleanup levels should be," said Brooke Buddemeier, a radiation specialist for the Department of Homeland Security. Regarding prioritization of sites, the radiation scientist told the Times: "Do you really want to shut down the port of Seattle because you don't want to get 5 or 10 million millirem of dose? Do you want to economically cripple an entire country because of that, an infinitesimally small risk, if it is any risk at all?" "In fact, the exposure to radiation thought to be possible is only fractionally more than would be experienced from natural sources." "Experts think most of the actual damage would be from the blast itself, rather than from any resulting radiation." ---------------- And this from another source: Robert McNamara and Helen Caldicott, Los Angeles Times 04/26/2004 http://tinyurl.com/6csl9 "The two nuclear superpowers (Russia and the US) still own 96% of the global nuclear arsenal of 30,000 nuclear weapons. It is clear that their nuclear planning and ongoing targeting are the major threats to national security. The real threat today - for the US remains their 'friend' Russia. A few missiles from China - but over 95% from Russia.

There was this week almost universal defeat of the Bill regarding the "Draft". This is a total chimera. The timing was just not right - a month before the national election. It was brought forward as an embarrassment - and indeed everyone was embarrassed by it. The only votes for it were two of the sponsors. The issue is far from dead. Simultaneously, and quietly, the Federal Government has established a requirement that for schools to continue to receive Federal Funding they must provide to the draft boards all the names of their Junior and Senior boys. The draft may well never occur. In my paradigm it is a matter of timing in accordance with other world events. The latter may be too sudden to permit the implementation of the draft. Nevertheless, the bureaucracy proceeds down those lines - with revitalization of the draft boards - and all. Enough on that subject. I have been asked to elaborate on my ideas about gold. Nothing that profound. In my paradigm I have no investment advice, and any expectations that I have had in that area have usually been wrong. Oil shoots up above $50 a barrel - so the stock market goes up. Incomprehensible to me - except that either investors are insane or that the market is highly controlled. I suspect the latter, but it may be partially both. Anyway, "good as gold" is an ancient slogan. While ancient slogans such as - "what goes up - must come down" and "you will never get off this planet alive", may eventually be repealed - I think "good as gold" is still pretty substantial. "What good is gold?" - some people say. "You can't eat it, so better to store potatoes." Well, the point is - that gold keeps. Suppose that you are a potato farmer, and that you have tons of potatoes, and that dollars are no good. People say- "Whoa! How can the dollars be no good?", but the reality is that dollars (currencies), have always failed. That is almost as certain as - "what goes up - must come down". Even in the short history of the US there have been failed currencies such as the Continental Dollar and the Confederate Dollar. Bush is worried about the Dollar versus the Euro right now. That is why the war in Iraq. Saddam had dropped the Euro bomb - saying that Euros were what he wanted for his oil. The dollar has been having a struggle for the last several weeks - but this is not what I am talking about. I am talking about the case of social disruption such as after nuclear war - and currencies total failure. Then when you show up to a farmer and offer him a dollar for a potato - he will say - "I think not." Then you might say - "Take my watch." Exposing his arms he would reply - "People have given me twenty watches, I have no place to put it." "Look, let me bring you out my fancy wide screen TV." "Nope, no place for that either, I have got 5 in my living room now." "Would you like my automobile." "Nope, I have got ten parked on the driveway now." "How about this little piece of gold." "Well, hmmm. The potatoes are going to rot - and I could keep and hide the gold. Okay, I guess I would just as soon have some gold rather than rotting potatoes." That is my only reason for saying that - 'gold is good'. You can apply the same principle in many other ways - to many other products - and it is only a principle of survival. Gold is easy to transport, hide, store, and people in countries that are in great threat wear lots of it as jewellery because they may be able to take with them at a moments notice only what they have on them. ------------- Moving on from that subject, to some others that I am equally confused about. If anyone has heard about that space nuclear test that was announced and scheduled to take place in the late summer - please let me know about it. It just disappeared off my radar screen. Something else that I find mysterious. With all that has been written about 9/11 why is it that I AM THE ONLY ONE (to my knowledge) that has speculated upon an explanation about the object hanging down below the aircraft heading into the WTC. I am sure that it was the mechanical airborne generator that had been lowered. On modern airliners this is about the only non-electronic thing that is completely under the aircrews control. It is the final backup for electric power when EVERYTHING else on the plane has failed. Think about this. As a pilot you have completely lost control of the aircraft. The plane is plunging ahead and turning on courses with a mind of its own. You have no radio contact - or control over anything in the aircraft. What would you do? Signal that you are there by operating the one mechanical thing that you could. Physically, drop the air generator down below the fuselage. Probably something that a non-pilot, (or terrorist) would not think about. You can see all the ramifications of this. What AMAZES me - is that with all the speculation - I have heard - no one else has mentioned this. While I am not a great proponent of conspiracy theories - this still leads me to wonder about all the speculations of external control of the aircraft - and the black ops drills that seem to have been documented about Cheney. I don't believe ANYONE expected the towers to come down. That I think was a fluke - because both towers being hit created too much demand on the common water main pumping system and consequently neither tower was supplied with sufficient water to suppress the fires. However, there is much evidence that I find credible about Pearl Harbor, planned fake Cuban Invasions, http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/jointchiefs_010501.html (original source documents available at - http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/doc1.pdf and from the government at: http://www.defenselink.mil/pubs/foi/ ) and many other historical events, to think that they are staged to manipulate public hysteria and become the basis for war. In my younger days it was always - "The Communists are Coming - The Communists are Coming" - which wasn't exactly true in Hollywood, the Universities, or the labor unions - although many still believe it. Today it is - "The Terrorists are in Town- The Terrorists are in Town"- and people run around buying plastic sheeting and duct tape - and worrying about anthrax and radiological bombs - which is all a bunch of nonsense. Every holiday and every event - the threat is that Alqaeda is going to get you, which by now should be less believable than that you are going to be bit by the boogeyman. The real threat is - that the US and Russia own between them 93% of the world's nuclear weapons - and that they are making more and more threatening noises towards each other (although not in the American media). This point most of the public totally ignores. ----------- But off my soap box. Lots and lots of things happening. Rate of deaths increasing monthly in: Iraq Afghanistan Israel Palestine Troops being moved from Iraq to Afghanistan. (Do you think it is because there are too many in Iraq?) Announcement rescinded of troops being moved from North Korea to Iraq - (Do you think it is because there are too many in Iraq?) US said this week that it has the capability of 'surgically' striking 900 targets in North Korea - (Do you think China would let them?) In the Middle East - Ramadan starts in about a week. In North Korea - peace talks will be delayed. In a little over three weeks - the US elections. Iran working night and day at nuke development. Israeli actions intensifying. Insurgent actions intensifying. Increased numbers of US Reserve troops being called back to duty. Interesting month - October. Halloween couldn't be scarier. Lots more I could talk about. But little more that I understand. Fit it all together - however you will. Your guess is probably as good as mine. Still - I prepare. And I hope that you do also.

I had a higher expectation at the end of 2000 based upon religious millennial teachings. I was wrong then - and I may be wrong now. I put my expectation at 8% - which is very high for something this dramatic. Still, inversely, what I am saying is that I see it as a 92% chance that it won't happen in that time frame. How I arrive at the 8% chance - is as follows: I think that after the election there is a 40% chance that Bush will release Sharon onto Iran. If that happens - then I see it as a 20% chance that Russia will intervene. 20% of 40% is 8% - in some sense - probably less - since they are cumulative - but anyway one thing would lead to another and there we would be. The point is - it is a very critical time and Israel HAS to do something about Iran's nuke development. Sharon has been restrained by Bush, and Bush has been restrained by the elections. Of course, there is the scenario that the election could seem so hopeless for Bush that he would go before then. But if he appears to have a good chance of winning - and he does - then it is better to get the election out of the way. But, win or lose. They will go - and in the case of win it may extend the window somewhat to play UN games with Europe and Russia. However, the games could not go on very long - because Sharon has election problems himself, and Iran is moving right along. In the case of lose - I would say about 5 days to lick their wounds, and 5 days to get ready. Sort of, one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, and four to go. Everyone everywhere getting ready. The headlong rush between India and Pakistan, with both getting more submarines, missiles and bombs. Major acquisitions. Both are up to between 50-100 nuclear warheads. More than enough for mutual annihilation. India says it also has to worry about China. Pakistan is supposedly a US ally - (as is India) but if the Taliban or other revolutionaries suddenly take over in Pakistan then India is in between something like Pakistan Taliban Fundamentalists and Iranian Shiite Fundamentalists both already with missiles and potentially with nukes. Can you imagine being in a country with nukes on both sides of you? Well, you live in one. Just longer range and bigger nukes from Russia and China. These, however, are more politically, economically, diplomatically, mature and larger world powers. They have more to lose - (in world prestige that is, because everyone has one life to lose) but the game they play is sort of the difference between major league hardball and back lot softball. Still at the end - the scoreboard will show zero - zero for all of them. Yep, it is a long litany, of how things are heating up - in many places simultaneously. Sort of like a food circus - if you don't like what is at this window - there is another one. Fellow saying to me that it would take another 9-11 type terrorist attack for the US to act between November and January if Bush were to lose. My reply to him was - "that could be arranged." Martial law could then be declared and transfer of government postponed based on the necessity of continuation of government and that one wouldn't want to change horses in the middle of the stream. Okay, okay - so wild times lead to wild ideas - but I do think that we live in wild times with wild horses. The wild, wild West was never more so. Finally saw Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. Had to wait for it to come out on video and for my son-in-law to rent it. Thing that astounded me most, was black leader after black leader getting up in the US Congress to protest that blacks had been denied the opportunity to vote and they could not get a single ONE of the 100 US Senators to sign their appeal. Things like - the media the stock market the contracts with the corporations the investigating committees the Congress and voting are so amazingly controlled. The other thing so amazing to me in Fahrenheit 9/11 was all the bin Laden and Bush friendships. It is all a world that I truly do not comprehend. As Stratfor says - it makes absolutely no difference who wins the election - the choices about Iraq are all the same. The choices for us are the same. We are just along for the ride. The US election is an internal power struggle between two Yale Skull and Bones factions about who gets to carry the ball when they come out of the huddle - but they are both on the same team. As Fahrenheit 9/11 pointed out only one member of Congress has a child in Iraq - (and I suspect that he is kept out of harms way) and Bush and Cheney are certainly not going to have their daughters going over there. Nope that sort of thing is for the black neighbourhoods of cities like Detroit - where you will find that everyone of them has had casualties. Sorry that I am sounding a little sour. That is what comes from watching a movie like that. I will try to watch something more like the Sound of Music or Mary Poppins before writing the next newsletter.
