[Arktwo] More news today.

[Bruce Beach]

I seldom mention the number of casualties
in Iraq or Afghanistan,

 http://tinyurl.com/2oczcm

and many other places in the world -
because daily casualties there
are like daily births -
and not something 'new' or 'news'.
However -
we shouldn't forget their importance
in the mix of world events -
and that the slaughter does go on.

>From the point view
of the families directly involved
in the above personal tragedies -
what I am about to report
will not seem that important to them.

But for the rest of us -
the following has more significance
because it may lead to events
that can impact all of us
just as personally and significantly.

Here are today's events:

1. Syria has told its students in Lebanon
to return to Syria
for their protection
during the upcoming war.
The directions were that specific.

2. Syria is also closing its border
with Lebanon
although it also has built fortifications
three miles inside of Lebanon.

	(This combined with the news
	that I sent yesterday
	about their opening
	for the first time in decades -
	their roads into the Golan Heights).

3. The following is an important item
that I missed in my previous newsletter:

Nuclear powered American aircraft carrier
Nimitz
leaves Chennai

Thursday July 5 2007 PTI
CHENNAI:

Nuclear powered American aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, which arrived here on
July 2, left on Thursday morning, US consulate sources said.

The USS Pinckney, which also anchored off the Chennai Port, also left at
around 10 am.
The ships are heading back to the Gulf region.

And just now I find that the link
to the India newspaper -
with the original story -
is no longer working
because now that the story
is a day old.

Anyway, it now means
that there will be FOUR carriers
in the Gulf.

--------------
It is important to remember
that each time I send you such news
it is simply another dot in the big picture.

If the previous dots
disappear from your mind
you are not going to see the picture.

Yesterday there were 6 unique dots -
such things as the petrol situation in Iran,
the Turks in Kurdistan,
etc. -
but the list has grown too lengthy
for me to repeat each time
what would now be
the dozens of items on it.

-----------
In addition to the 6 dots -
that occurred yesterday -
I also mentioned what some people think
are very significant events
taking place in the international
monetary world.
Warnings by the BIS
(Bank for International Settlements)

	http://tinyurl.com/ywvgrf

and warnings regarding 'derivatives'
and other financial matters.

There were also things
about political happenings in Washington
and Russia.

The list of events
that seem to be on a downhill
or collision course
daily grows rapidly longer.

Or -
is it just Beach.
I have watched these things
many times before -
and then my predicted result
does not occur.

It is like watching the rain clouds gather
and predicting a flood -
or watching the drought on the plains
and predicting a prairie fire.
Probable -
but not inevitable -
except in the long run.

Eventually -
there will be more
fires
floods
tornadoes
hurricanes
earthquakes
but predicting how many
for next year
is very difficult.

Still -
there appear in my mind
to be inevitable eventualities.
Death
Taxes
and nuclear war WW3.

Some disagree.
Some believe in rapture
instead of death -
some think taxes are illegal -
and all hope that I am wrong -
about nuclear war.

Most people don't worry about it -
and tell me I should get a life.
With the latter part I agree.
But -
I think I have a life -
and I am always trying to tell people
that the first question they should answer
about being a survivalist -
is why they want to survive.

If it isn't to serve God
and your fellow man -
then from my point of view
it is irrelevant anyway.

Although I am not a Christian -
I was very impressed
with the following statement
that I ran across yesterday
while searching for something else
on the web:

"If you have been a Christian for any length of time, you have experienced
what it means to be used by God and the accompanying joy and sheer
excitement of it. There is nothing quite like the sense of having God work
through you to accomplish His will. For those who know what I am talking
about, I suspect there is a hunger in your heart to be used of God not just
occasionally, but consistently. What's more, you probably want to be
used —not despite yourself, as sometimes happens (for the Scripture tells us
that God even uses the devil)—but to be used with full acquiescence and
acceptance of God's program for you."

At this very moment -
while thinking of what subject
to turn to next -
the following came in
from a correspondent
regarding a different issue:

"your 'drug' is your belief in impending doom
how dare you judge others when you are a
laughing stock."

Hmmmm.
Actually -
I consider myself the opposite of a 'doomer'
and that is why I signature myself -
"DawnSayer" -
because what I think I am about
is a brighter tomorrow -
(tomorrow perhaps being centuries from now)
but that what we are presently passing through
is the gloom and doom
in spite of all the marvellous modern technology -
and the luxuries that we enjoy.

The present doom is the
immorality
materiality
decadence
destruction throughout the world
dogma and ignorance
selfishness
hatred
dishonesty - particularly in government -
and all the ills
that are besetting the world.

But my message -
is one of Reconstruction
of a New World Order
with Justice
both economic and political
for all the WW3 survivors
and their descendants.

My message is
the basic Oneness of
the Spiritual Teachings of all the Religions.

My message is
that humanity is one -
and that we are all the children of God.

My message is that
the whole of humanity
living together in PEACE
is achievable
and that we have to work towards that
and be prepared to take advantage
of the opportunity
when humanity will be receptive to that message
after having gone through
the Final Great Battle of Armageddon.

--------
But yes -
others see me as a doomer -
and as being foolish.

This week,
someone sent me this link -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K1t68jo9rg

and while I had heard of it before -
I hadn't seen it -
or it may be part of a longer TV show
that I have heard about and haven't seen.

Yep,
while I don't see myself that way -
- even looking at the link -
I know others view me
as a foolish old man.

This won't change
even if my expectations
about the future are fulfilled.

Most people will think -
it was just accidental
that the crazy old coot was right -
and if anything
they will be resentful
if I were to benefit from the craziness -
and won't feel that I should.

Some think now -
and more may think then -
that in some way
by making preparation
that I was the cause of the event.

But -
it all matters naught -
what people think.
What matters is if we are
in sync with the will of God.

I cannot even judge that
about myself.
However, I feel myself
the most blessed of all men.
There would not be enough space
in this email
for me to list all my blessings -
but we all must follow our callings.

Some in the world must be poor -
otherwise how could we distinguish the wealthy.

Some in the world must be ill -
otherwise how could we distinguish the healthy.

Some in the world must be ignorant -
otherwise how could we distinguish the wise.

Some in the world must be crazy old coots -
otherwise how could we distinguish those who are not.

Yes,
to be healthy, wealthy and wise -
but I always say of myself -
to be two out of three -
wouldn't be bad.

----------
Today is 07-07-07
and up here in Canada
all (many?) of the ministers
and wedding chapels are booked.

The interest in the number
would make you think we are in China.
They really go for numbers there.

Seven is considered a lucky number.
Seven saints in many religions -
and seventh heaven.
Throughout the Book of Revelation -
Seven Churches
Seven Golden Candlesticks
Seven Stars
Seven Angels.

There are the seven days of the week -
the seven colors of the rainbow -
the seven seas -
and the seven continents.

Seven in the game of dice -
the seven year itch -
the seven hills of Rome -
the seven wonders of the world.

I could go on and on and on.
But why seven.
Because there were seven planets
visible to the early astrologers.

With telescopes
or better eyesight
they could have seen ten.
Then with our ten fingers
and ten toes -
we would be waiting for
October 10th, 2010.

But anyway -
happy 7/7/7
and be thankful
for some additional days
to prepare.

But prepare most -
your souls
and not your holes.
For the Day of God's Wrath
can find us anywhere.
Our only true shelter
is in God.

Peace and love,
Bruce
