[Arktwo] Have you any wool?

[Bruce Beach]

Bah, bah blacksheep. - 
Yes, six bags full. 

Some say six - 
some say five. 
Either way - 
EACH ONE was more powerful 
than 10 Hiroshimas.

I am talking about the 
loose nuke story of course. 
Have been sent - 
and have read tens of thousands of words 
about it. 

Was it an accident?
	Highly improbable.
	The more that I read what 
	military nuclear arms specialists say -
	about procedures - 
	the more I conclude -
	HIGHLY IMPROBABLE.

Was it real?
	Most likely.

Happens all the time?
	No, and while NEVER 
	is a very strong word - 
	I would say closer to NEVER.

Bush / Cheney knew?
	I don't know - 
	but someone knew. 

They were just 'threatening' Iran?
	Not likely. 
	I think Bush is now beyond threatening -
	and that Iran is beyond being threatened.

Nothing to get excited about?
	Someone wrote that 
	seeing a B-52 leaving Minot AFB 
	or landing in Barksdale,  
	is like seeing a uniformed postal worker 
	walking into the post-office. 

	My reply was - 
	"Yeah, but this uniformed postal worker 
	was carrying a loaded shotgun 
	under each arm."

Isn't it betrayal of America 
to be leaking this and similar stories 
that we have been seeing the last few days?
	That is the current mentality among many -
	blame and punish the whistleblowers.

What if it is a counterplot to discredit Bush?
	Interesting concept. 
	A set-up. 
	To make him look bad. 
	To try to defang the move on Iran. 
	But nope -
	the PTB would be all over that.

False Flag - Conspiracy and all that stuff?
	Not going there. 
	Those who hold such opinions - 
	all have what they consider logical arguments -
	but this whole scenario is not reasonable.

Enough said by me. 
You don't need to hear tens of thousands of words 
from me 
on this subject. 
They are all over - elsewhere.

On God's side

Saw a comment this week - 
where Ahmadinejad had said 
that God was on Iran's side.

Then I read a follow up comment 
by an American  
who said sarcastically - 
"Hmmm. God on one side - 
the greatest most powerful military 
the world has ever known - 
on the other side. 
Tough call."

I think that he was 
sarcastically saying 
that the US military could 
beat God - 
and I know that many Americans 
demeaningly refer to the Muslims 
as having a Moon God.

The idea 
of whether to rely upon Allah 
(which means the All or Only)
or Mammon the god of materiality - 
is the age old struggle of humanity. 

Long before the Bible was compiled 
the issue was the theme 
in the Bahagavad Gita - 
a Book of the Hindus. 

There - 
Arjuna who is hero of the story 
is offered by Krishna - God - Christ 
(or at least what some think is 
a root word for Christ) - 
whether in a battle 
that Arjuna was about to have to undertake - 
the choice of God's Legions of Angels - 
or that Krishna would ride in Arjuna's chariot 
with him.

Arjuna chose Krishna. 
It is a choice that we all should make.
Win or lose - 
choose God - 
because God will always do 
what is best for you - 
and contrary to the opinion 
of some human generals - 
winning may not be the only thing, 
or even the best thing.

Our question should not be - 
on whose side God is - 
but rather - 
are we on the side of God?

About whether we are on the side of God - 
we should always be open to challenge.
Most of the world 
does not feel that the US 
(in its separation of Church from State) 
is motivated by service to God. 

Most of the people in the world - 
do not feel that the US has fought 
the great battles that it has fought 
and extended its military might 
throughout the world 
because of a desire to serve God - 
or to benefit the masses of people 
in the countries 
where those battles have been fought.

There are some people that feel 
that if but a tiny fraction 
of US military expenditure 
and what the US has made 
selling arms to other countries 
had been spent instead 
assuring literacy, 
basic medical care, 
sufficient diet, 
and so forth - 
that the world could have been made 
a paradise.

Others argue 
that the resulting population explosion 
would have destroyed the world already - 
and the US is not it brother's keeper. 
They see the directives of Jesus - 
to love love thy enemies - 
and to bless those who persecute you 
as being at most individual 
rather than national directives. 

The idea among all religions, 
including Jews, Christians, Muslims, and Hindus, 
that God could love all His children equally, 
no matter what their religion - 
just does not set well with them. 

The purpose of religion - 
or in joining any particular religion - 
should not be so that God will love us better - 
but so that we may love God better.
Each of us should choose 
whatever religion 
that will allow us to love God best. 

The question in our search should be - 
is there some religion 
that God has provided / revealed 
that best lets us serve Him. 
Each person must make -
or should make - 
that search and decision for themself. 
Not what they want of God -
but rather what God wants of them.

If most Americans 
did not think 
God wanted them to torture, 
that God wanted them to plant landmines - 
that kill and maim thousands of children each year, 
that God wanted them to bomb villages 
with collateral damage that kills many children, 
that God wants them to build nuclear weapons - 
that will kill millions at a time - 
that God wants them to spend such huge resources 
on weaponry - 
then their government would not do it. 

But most Americans do not feel passionately 
about these things. 
Neither do the citizens of other countries. 
The idea of loving all God's creation 
is a hard sell everywhere in the world. 

God wants us all to love one another - 
and to help one another. 
But - 
humanity has chosen to not go that way.
Consequently, 
God is going to let humanity go its own way. 
Hopefully humanity will eventually understand 
the error of man's way - 
and will turn unto God's way.

Some people say that - 
"If God is good and exists and is all-Powerful - 
He will not permit a nuclear war."
For years I have tried to respond to that 
in my web pages.

http://www.webpal.org/c_renewal/index.htm#immediate

None of us should want nuclear war - 
or war of any kind. 
It is one thing 
to see the inevitable pain 
that mankind is about to go through - 
and another to desire it, 
although Ahmadijenad, 
some Holocaust believing Christians - 
and yes, myself, 
may believe that by the permissive Will of God - 
that it is now inevitable - 
and we willing submit to God's decree.

I think that I have reached the point 
that I can no longer communicate with people. 
My responses are meaningless to them. 

A couple of days ago 
a woman wrote to me 
wanting to know the fair price 
for a radiation detection meter, 
because she happened to get one at a garage sale 
and her brother is a hobbyist and collects them 
so she wanted to charge him a fair price.

I responded:

It is somewhere between priceless and useless -
depending upon its condition 
and the use 
you need to make of it.

There is a saying that 
Americans know the price of everything 
and the value of nothing. 

I think this question proves that point. 
----------

Am I just getting grumpy 
in my old age?

Several times this last week 
I have gotten questions from people 
as to how many bullets they should store.

My response to one young person yesterday was:

Unfortunately 
you will find our paradigms so different 
that you will think any advice that I would give 
to be useless. 

It is not your fault.
We are on opposite ends of the life spectrum - 
and as I have moved along 
I have found that one's only true shelter is in God. 

I think that I am really going to have to stop 
offering advice. 
What I have to say 
is not what anyone wants to hear. 

Yes, it is true 
that we still have, maintain, and work diligently 
on the largest private shelter - 
but our goal is reconstruction 
rather than survival.

You can see what we are all about at:

www.webpal.org/reconstruction.pdf 
or 
www.webpal.org/reconstruction.htm

---------------
The world has the destiny - 
that the world has. 
I write at length in my newsletters 
about what 
Ahmadinejad, 
Bush, 
Putin, 
the Chinese, 
Israel, 
Syria, 
and others are doing.

However, 
it does not mean that I advocate 
any of their plans. 
Neither do I expect to divert them, 
because I think the chosen paths 
are now inevitable. 

Humanity has left the airplane - 
without a parachute. 
Ten thousand feet and falling. 

No hope for the present generation. 
Survival isn't sufficient. 
For God's Plan 
there must be reconstruction 
of a new and better world 
for future generations. 

At the moment - 
that too is a hard sell. 
Like training mules - 
first one has to get their attention - 
and it may be that God is about to do that.

---------
So, 
don't let the wool be pulled over your eyes. 
A very old expression - 
dating from the wearing of wool wigs - 
and felons blinding their victims 
by doing so.

Today's news about nukes 
and tomorrow's about derivatives - 
and who knows what else - 
all serves to divert us from focusing 
on the Divine Plan. 

All of this will soon pass away - 
but the Will of God 
will remain.

Peace and love,
