[Arktwo] Futurist Two

[Bruce Beach]

Do you remember the song -
'Where have all the good nukes gone?'

Then there was the movie - 
'Five Alive'.

But where?

Oh, well. 
Questions we aren't supposed to ask.

As anticipated - 
the PPT did its thing this morning. 
Hopped right in there 
and got the market off to a good start - 
and then from mid-afternoon 
a mighty battle to make sure it ended up 
positive.

How many, many times  
we have seen that pattern.

As expected also - 
Petraeus jumped right in there 
to do battle with Congress 
on behalf of Bush. 
He is undoubtedly 
a dedicated patriot 
and a true believer - 
but I am just not certain in what.

Futurist Two

This a continuation of the presentation 
of my futurist predictions - 
that I began in the previous newsletter.

One can envision any number 
of possible futures. 

In 'The Paper' 

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

I present a plan for an utopian future, 
which although I do not expect it to be achieved  
on a universal level - 
it will still be the means 
for ameliorating the effects of nuclear war 
if applied locally - 
and the more broadly it is applied - 
the greater will be its benefit. 

One might also speculate about 
a 'Buck Rogers' type of future - 
where technology would permit this planet 
to support a hundred billion people 
by making it a gravity well 
maintaining the orbits of massive satellites 
that would be the dwellings of most of humanity
where they would have a 24/7 sun energy source 
beyond the curvature and atmosphere 
of the earth.

Dream on. 
All such dreams - 
are about as probable 
as the physical opening of the graves - 
in my opinion.

But - 
there are a series of events 
that I do feel to have high probability. 
These are determined by Divine Destiny 
and man's nature, history and potential. 

In describing future events - 
I break them into:
 
short term - (the next year or two) 
medium term - (the next century or so)
long term - (a matter of millennia).

Surprisingly, 
I think my longer term expectations 
are more definite - 
than the shorter term ones - 
because the latter are more specific - 
but let us begin here 
with what I see as six stages 
in the short term: 

In Stage One:

I think that the current situation with: 
 
1. the US monetary system 
2. the financial markets 
3. the conflict between the Administration and Congress
4. Syria and Israel 
5. Hamas in the Gaza 
6. instability in Pakistan 
7. and the Iran nuke situation 

will deteriorate drastically 
during the next month.

Seven is a large number of items 
to be on such a serious downslide 
in such a short period of time. 

However, 
and whenever, 
and for whatever reason - 
I think that within 
the next six weeks 
we will arrive at 

Stage Two:

where additional armed conflict 
will breakout in the Middle East.
Most likely involving 
Israel, Syria, Iran, and the US. 
Over a matter of hours 
or two or three days at the most - 
this will escalate 
to massive bombing of Iran - 
and the possible use of 
what will be described as 'tactical nukes' - 
which will actually be more powerful 
than those used on Japan.

Stage Three:

Escalation will be rapid into 
full-out nuclear WW3 
with the bombing of American cities. 

Stage Four:

The duration of nuclear WW3 
will likely be 
only a matter of hours 
or at most three or four days. 

Stage Five:

Nuclear WW3 will be shortened 
by Divine Intervention - 
in a manner that will seem quite natural. 
We are not talking about 
legions of angels appearing in the sky 
but more likely something like 
a world-wide earthquake. 
One far-out speculation that I have had 
is that the planet may physically flip 
on its axis. 

Stage Six:

Will be, 
I hope for us at Ark Two, 
a somewhat dormant shelter stage 
of three to six weeks.

I feel that my announcing my expectations 
regarding these imminent six stages - 
is the furtherest out thing  
about my futurest model - 
and the most UNLIKELY   
to occur when and how I have expressed. 

Nevertheless, 
it is the model upon which
the present day-to-day activities 
at Ark Two are based. 
If and when the events don't occur - 
people can simply say - 
there was that crazy old Beach again - 
just as they have 
so many times for the last fifty years.

The timing of any of that 
and the means by which it occurs 
is really of no importance 
to my overall futurist model. 

What is important to the model 
rather than the immediate specific timing 
is that I anticipate:

a. There will be a nuclear WW3 
b. Eighty percent of the world's population 
	will perish 
	because of the follow-on Great Calamity 
	and because of social disruption 
	disease, starvation and so forth.

The surviving world population 
will be most desirous 
of not going through again 
what will have transpired. 
Even more so, 
than they were after WW1 and WW2 
when they formed the League of Nations 
and the United Nations - 
they will be inclined to come together 
and form some sort of new world order 
that will eliminate the scourge of war. 

This will require the nations 
relinquishing their absolute sovereignties 
and agreeing to limiting the amount of arms 
that they can maintain. 

To achieve such an arrangement 
will require that the remnant governments 
of the nations 
meet in a world conference 
probably in the environs of the 
remnant of New York - 
since that was where the United Nations was based -
but they will soon select a permanent seat 
outside of the US - 
and very possibly in Jerusalem - 
because only by making that an International City 
can they eliminate the conflict that exists there.

I hope and expect all this to be accomplished 
in less than two years 
after the end of the WW3 conflict. 
Every proposal and effort will be considered 
for those things which hold a promise 
of increasing the harmony of mankind. 

Dear to my heart 
is the thought that China will still be encouraged 
to hold the next Olympics 
since according to my timetable 
they will have been deprived of holding 
what is presently scheduled.

I hope also 
in that connection 
that humanity will also -
through the new organization
established in Jerusalem -
select a Universal Auxiliary Language 
to first be implemented at that Olympics. 

These are but my personal dreams and timetables - 
and we really have no idea of what is in store - 
or how or when. 

The timing of any of this  
and the means by which it occurs 
is really of no importance 
to my overall futurist model. 

What is important to the model 
rather than the specific timing 
is that I anticipate: 

1. There will be established a world government -
most likely based in Jerusalem - 

2. That it will take positive actions 
for increasing the harmony of humanity 
such as:
	a. Encouraging things like the Olympics
	b. Selecting an official Universal Auxiliary Language 
	c. Establishing firm boundaries among the nations
	d. Setting limits on permitted armaments
	e. Providing a court for settling international disputes 
	f. Enforcing its decisions 

The world government 
will greatly increase its efficiency 
in the first few decades 
in establishing such things as 
a world currency, 
standards for weights and measures, 
and regulatory bodies 
for things like air traffic control 
and commerce between countries. 

The speed and efficiency 
with which these things will occur 
is not a matter of specific prediction here. 
What we should be more concerned about 
is the quality of life of the individual survivors. 

For decades, 
even centuries, 
there may remain as much a disparity 
as exists today. 
Geographic, 
cultural, 
technological distinctions 
will perhaps at first contribute 
to even greater variance than we have today, 
although in some respects -
nuclear war will be a great leveller. 

But, that again, 
is not my concern here. 
Elsewhere 
I have extensively covered 
the means for the reinstitution of technological society. 
Whether this is done 
in one or two decades 
or whether it takes a century 
makes little difference 
in the long run scheme of things. 
It shouldn't take more than one or two decades 
when one looks at what was accomplished 
in the century just past. 
The research has all been done 
and the information should remain 
to restore the present technological society 
in a matter of a very few decades.

What is much more important 
is the social reconstruction of society - 
and that will be much more difficult. 
In this case it is not a matter 
of just putting back what presently exists - 
because THAT is the problem. 
To replace a world society 
that is materialistic, 
immoral, 
unjust both socially and economically, 
with broad spectrums of ignorance 
and poverty 
among its population 
with another just like itself 
would eventually lead to the same conclusion.

In the concluding part of this series 
I will present my predictions 
as to the future 
regarding what the Divine Purpose 
of the world holocaust was in the first place.

Peace and love,
Bruce
