[Arktwo] September Calendar

[Bruce Beach]

Well - our dance card
is certainly full this month.
Most of my readers
won't understand that expression.
In more gentle days
dances were much more formal
and girls had a printed card
that fellows would stand in line
to ask her for a dance early in the evening -
and all the dances were scheduled.

The more popular girls of course
had their cards fill up -
while some others were lucky
to get one or two requests
although real gentlemen
didn't permit wall flowers
to be completely ignored.
Numerous strategies there -
lost upon today's crowd.

But back to September.
Yep, a very busy month in store -
and if you don't think the lines are long
you should check the border crossings.

I am writing this on -
September 3rd.
In 1894, the first Monday in September
was declared Labor Day
by U.S. President Grover Cleveland.

This Labor Day
Bush is doing a dance in Iraq -
on a surprise visit there.

September 4
The first big dance begins tomorrow
and is called Malabar 07 which is India's
the largest ever multi-nation Naval Armada.
Participating are the USS Nimitz
and Kittyhawk groups
with Indian Aircraft carrier,
Japan, Australia etc.

Further down the coast -
although not a formal part of the exercise
will be the USS Enterprise,
and France's aircraft carrier.

Sept. 4-9 Malabar is a five day exercise.

September 8-9 APEC -
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
will be in Sydney
and Bush is on that dance card also.

September 9 - Sunday
first 2007 NFL season games.

September 10th,
beginning of New Moon

September 11 -
The first anniversary of 2001
that occurs on the same combination
of a Tuesday and a new moon.
There will also be a partial solar eclipse.
Big day for what are called the 9/11 'Truthers'.

Sep 11, 1931 -
To throw in a Muslim date -
because Muslims like to commemorate dates also -
this is the anniversary of the
Martyrdom of Omar Al-Mukhtar.
Italians will be watching this one.

September 12 - Gen. David Petraeus,
to testify to Congress
about progress in the war.
This has been long awaited -
and is supposed to be a biggie -
but news has been so bad -
that it is now being played down.

The first day of the Feast of Trumpets
or Rosh Hashana
actually starts at dark on the 12th.

September 13 - Rosh Hashanah
(the Jewish New Year)

September 13 - Start of Ramadan
This is an unusual combination
to occur on the same day.
I can find no historical note
of that ever happening before.

The Big N.Y. investment banks annual reports
Sept 11- Goldman Sachs...
Sept 12-Lehman Bros...
Sept 13- Bear Sterns...
Reports will have been all been all week long
with the big BS on the 13th.
By the names one would think it another
big Jewish tradition.

September 14 to 17 in Chennai
The seventh edition of CONNECT 2007,
an ICT event promoted by the Tamil Nadu government
So far as I can tell this is a non-event
so far as effecting the world destiny -
but you can see how far afield I go
to try to find events to fill every date.

Sep 16-17, 1982 -
Sabra and Shatilla camps were massacred
at which over two thousand Muslims were killed.

Sept. 18th a Tuesday
is the big Federal Reserve Meeting
the Financial Markets are watching for -
but the expected announcement
about interest rates -
may not occur until the next day-

Sept 18 - is also the FOMC
Federal Open Markets Committee
(think PPT meeting)

September 18 -
62nd session of UN General Assembly starts -
which leads up to Iran decision actions
but key point on these
are in the on-going Security Council.

Wed 9/19...
probable date of the FED announcement.

Sep 20, 717 A.D - Start of the Caliphate of
Omar Ibn Abd Al- Aziz.
Think of the Ummayyads and the
Muslim conquering of Narbonne, France
in 919 A.D.
France is still having trouble with the Muslims -
but most of my readers won't be able
to look upon this from a Muslim perspective.

Sept. 21st is Fall Equinox.
A big day for sun watchers,
and the end of Summer
or more accurately -
the official beginning of fall.

Sept. 22 is Yom Kippur

Sept. 23 in New York UN chief Ban Ki-moon
will host a meeting
of the four major powers pressing for peace in the Middle East
and in the evening they will meet
with the Arab League.

September 24th - 25th
Once again presently blank dates
on my calendar
other than hundreds of birthdays -
long lists of historical events for these dates -
or scheduled sports and entertainment events.
I spend several hours searching
for what I consider to be important
upcoming events.

Sept. 26 is the first day of Sukkot,
so it is a pretty full month
over in Israel.
It is also the anniversary of Sep 26, 2000 -
the Al-Aqsa uprising which started
when Sharon entered the Al-Aqsa Mosque
with the protection of the Israeli army.
Some mark it as the beginning
of the current troubles there.

Sept 28th and 29th.
Still nothing important
in my paradigm
appearing for those dates.
But don't bet on it.
Things can happen all at once
and September certainly holds great portent
for all sorts of things to be set off.

Sept 30 - Hedge fund redemption date
(Think massive Derivative overhang)

------------
My personal calendar for September
is almost equally full -
but I won't bother you with that.

Hopefully lots of people will show up
to help with Ark Two -
but at the moment it appears that
the doctor's committee meeting will be postponed
until October -
when we have several big activities planned.

At the moment the press at Ark Two
is about the intercom system.
You can look at:

Well,
Beach presses on
and
Bush presses on -
but most of all
it seems to be that
Ahmadijihad is pressing on.

He says that all 3,000 centrifuges
are now in full production.
THIS has been a line in the sand.
Of course -
there have been MANY lines in the sand.
When one line has been crossed -
it has just been rubbed out -
and another drawn.

Googling back to find what the view
USED TO BE
I found the following:

"If one assumes that an implosion-type weapon uses 20 kg of HEU, then 1,300
centrifuges could produce the requisite HEU in about 14 months"

That from -
Richard L. Garwin,
>From Foreign Affairs,
March/April 2005

http://tinyurl.com/2hv2su

Ergo, 3000 centrifuges would
create sufficient bomb material in
less than 7 months -
and since some of them have been running
for a year or more -
then there should be sufficient
in three to four months -
if there is not ALREADY!

Be assured that the bomb design
is complete -
not just the design but the instrument -
just sitting there waiting for the material.

Okay -
so an unproven weapon
is an unproven weapon,
but they don't have to prove the theory.
The US did that over a half century ago
at Alamogordo.

Then the US tested its first two prototypes -
Little Boy on Hiroshima
and Fat Boy on Nagasaki.
Iran would like to test its two prototypes
on Tel Aviv
and Haifa
(Washington, London, New York,
Paris and elsewhere -
being out of reach).

Back to France -
and its Muslim troubles.
(You have to have been conquered
by the Muslims once -
to really appreciate that -
historically.)

"French president Nicolas Sarkozy said a nuclear-armed Iran would be
unacceptable"

Wouldn't you know it -
my link no longer works.

Anyway -
that is France's position
and quite broadly and loudly
and repeatedly stated in the MSM this week
that is Bush's position.

It is also Israel's position in spades,
and it may surprise some to know
it is also the strongly held position
of most Arab countries.

So -
since talk hasn't worked -
I suspect that they are looking at alternatives.

One alternative is that
in addition to all the ships
being there for
Malabar 07
the USS Kearsarge Expeditionary Strike Group
has taken up position
opposite the Lebanese coast

http://tinyurl.com/yuz6sr

Many threads -
seemingly unrelated -
may be coming together in September.

Australia, Japan and India
at Malabar
the Kearsarge in Lebanon for the elections,
the stock market settlements and fallout
from the Derivatives,
the Congressional hearings on Iraq -
and dozens of other
political / economic / military
events / activities
that I could throw into the mix.

But where and when it will all lead -
still only God knows -
but I do think Bush is preparing
for something -
and I can tell you -
that Beach is preparing for something.

The fall leaves are starting to turn
up here in Canada -
and we will next week
start our fall preparations.

Wife wishes for me to gather
truck loads of leaves
for her gardens -
and to get manure from the horse barns.
Friends have said that they will come
to help make the compost piles
for next year.
It is a lot for an eighty year old gal -
but we figure our time is short.

So many activities -
so much to do.
If you figure your time is also short -
and are willing to come help -
we will welcome you.

Peace and love,
Bruce
