The top news item is from Russia -
and it is not about the bomb.
Bombs there are aplenty already.
Putin has dissolved
the Russian government
making Putin dictator
until next(?) Presidential election.

More simply done there -
than elsewhere.
Simply clearing the decks politically
for action.
Political opposition creating a problem
in Israel
in Pakistan
in Iraq
in Washington
even in Iran.
(Also in Japan, India and elsewhere).
Russia and China
are the two major players
free politically
to do what they will do.
-------
There is a trigger device
that could immediately throw
the whole of the US into Martial Law.
Lots of talk on the web -
and hysteria radio -
about Muslim Extremist Terrorist plans
for multiple simultaneous attacks -
similar to the one that took place in Russia -
on US community schools
randomly located throughout the US.
I personally don't think they have
the organization to accomplish that -
although they have been quite organized
in bomb attacks
in the UK and Europe.
Still, the US is a different scene.
The ones that should
most fear this happening -
are the 'moderate' Muslim communities -
because individual 'patriot' extremists
in gun owning America
would start their own retaliation.
And thus throw the rest of Americans -
into Martial Law.
One has no idea -
or at least I have no idea -
as to where that might lead -
but I can tell you that it would provide
a freer hand
for certain globalist plans
in the current US administration.
-------
About the nukes on the loose.
Additional information appearing -
but no clarification from the government.
Early report
that the weapons were being moved
to be decomissioned
appears discounted by extant USAF doc
which says that such missiles
are being 'refitted'
to extend their service life until 2030.
It seems more likely that
these state of the art weapons
would be husbanded when one considers
the hue and cry about how many were expended
in the Iraq war with conventional warheads -
and how that had depleted the US armory.
In the last months there have also been
articles about plans for upgrading
the nuclear warheads and keeping them in service
because of 'lack of new development'.
More info at:

The concept of these weapons
being 'legitimately' prepositioned
to Barksdale, and then possibly on
to Diego Garcia, has some problems also.
The reason being -
that there are already lots of nukes
that have been forward positioned
both with the Air Force -
and also with the Navy -
on the Big Carriers,
Missile Ships,
and in the Nuclear Submarines.
What might be indicated instead
is a covert action of some sort.
The kind of 'conspiracy theories'
such as this and the previous story -
are beyond my purview -
but we live in such troubling times
it is important to recognize
that some people are very convinced about them -
and that one must admit -
that while improbable -
they -
and others things that we can't even imagine -
are possible.
Do remember -
possible doesn't equal probable.
Other things are more probable
to upset the world's equilibrium
in the next few weeks.
I hardly need to list all the usual suspects.
Pakistan, Israel, Syria, Iran -
with so many stories
out of Turkey and elsewhere
such as about the Israeli air attack
into Syria -
that I can't write about them all.
-------
There is also that great
Derivatives Crunch
that is on the horizon.
Almost 20 per cent
of the short-term money market loans
issued by European banks
are due to mature between
today and September 19.
Tens of billions of pounds of these
commercial paper loans
no longer have investors
that want to buy them.
Roughly £23bn of these loans
expire on September 17 alone.
History could repeat itself:
1807----Massive Market panic with tremendous consequences
1907----Massive Market panic with tremendous consequences
2007---(Possibly) a Massive Hedge Fund hemorrhage
(write UR own script in a few days)

Futurist Three
Whatever the nature
of day to day events
that capture our
eye, ear and attention -
we need to step back and view
the Creator's overall destiny
for humanity.
The Divine purpose of society
is to provide a milieu / environment
in which every individual can develop
to their greatest spiritual potential.
The rub is that
there is presently so much disagreement
among men
as to both what that potential is
and how the society should be organized
so as to obtain it.
That disagreement will persist
into the decades and immediate centuries to come.
Just as there are today
Jewish,
Christian,
Muslim,
Hindu,
Buddhist,
Communist,
Humanistic views
as to the nature of man
and the purpose of his life -
there shall continue those disparity of views
for centuries to come.
These views have led to
a broad spectrum of disparity and conflict
between the different groups.
That disparity and conflict will continue.
It is the Baha'i goal, program,
to try to educate
the minds and hearts of mankind
away from that disparity and conflict.
The resistance will be immense.
Those undertaking the task will suffer immensely
from the defenders of the presently existing systems.
Each society, whether
Jewish,
Christian,
Muslim,
Hindu,
Buddhist,
Communist,
or Humanistic
will call them the destroyers of their culture
and religion.
The promoters of world peace and understanding
will be seen as being aligned
with concepts such as the anti-Christ
and Satan himself.
Such has always been the case
and the reward
for those who have tried to advance society
into new directions.
The changes in technology,
the revolutions in social structures,
the sub-cultures that shall arise,
prosper,
and fail
in the coming centuries
are beyond our comprehension -
but conflict shall long continue to prevail.
The struggle to establish a race of men
that is spiritually advanced
will be a struggle that is long and arduous,
but one that must not
and cannot be avoided.
Those of us today,
who stand before the threshold
of a journey that humankind is about to undertake
to fulfill its Divine Destiny
as a spiritually advanced race
among God's creation,
must not balk at
or shy away from
the duty that has been pressed upon us
because we are the forebears
of those centuries of stalwart
and devoted individuals
that will be martyred
in the journey that we have begun.
And what are the goals and objectives
of that journey?
The first is to raise the recognition
that we are all members of one human race.
Descended in the Bible allegory
from one set of parents.
Responsible all for another.
Cain for Able and Able for Cain.
The evils of racism
exist world-wide
and may not be easily eliminated.
But the spreaders of this cause
must battle it on every front.
More than tolerate inter-racial marriage,
they must promote it.
The abuse that they will get from an idea
such as this is almost unimaginable.
The abuse that I will receive
for having made such a statement
is beyond the comprehension
of most of my readers.
Still, the time must come -
that there will be made no more social distinction
regarding the color of one's skin
than there is today
regarding the color of the pupil of one's eyes.
To achieve that state -
is not a matter of simply waiting for time to pass
but rather the necessity for decided programs
and actions.
As pronounced as is racism in America -
it exists much more strongly
elsewhere in the world.
As serious as has been the resistance in America -
it has been more pronounced elsehere -
and will long continue to be a major problem
to be confronted -
until humanity as a whole realizes that
there is but one race -
the human race.
The second objective must be
to raise the recognition
that there is but one nation -
the world -
and that mankind is it citizens.
The spreaders of the Cause of God
will equally well receive resistance
on this front.
Still,
God has created here but one planet -
and all the creatures on it
are His creatures.
They must learn to dwell in peace and harmony
on this planet.
Those advocating such a view point -
will be viewed as traitors.
They will be invited to move elsewhere -
'go back where you have come from' -
'move somewhere else if you don't like it here'
called cowards
for not defending the prevalent view -
and otherwise disparaged.
Even told that they are opposers to God
and their fellow citizens.
But - the espousers of the Cause
have nowhere else to go.
They are bound to this planet
and have to try to make the planet conform
to God's Plan of
"One fold and One Shepherd".
The only solution
is to bring humanity to the Third Oneness -
the understanding that there is
but One God.
That all men worship the same God -
no matter how differently.
Some people will say that others worship
false gods -
gods of their own imaginings.
But all of us worship false gods
of our own imaginings.
All of us know only the god
in our own minds -
and all of us are incapable
of knowing more about God
than He gives us the capability of knowing.
The spreaders of the Cause of God
must teach mankind
that they must appreciate where others are
on the path.
Understand, and appreciate -
especially appreciate -
what good they can find in every religion.
As the lovers of mankind
recognize and appreciate
the good in others -
they can try to teach the believers -
in the other religions that they now appreciate -
to also recognize the good that can be seen
in all other religions.
This may indeed be a struggle of centuries -
but this is the only possible solution
for the ills of mankind.
This is the future of mankind.
A struggle for centuries
to establish tolerance, understanding, appreciation,
economic and social justice,
compassion and unity for the whole of mankind.
For two thousand years -
since the time of Christ -
this struggle has continued -
and continue it will -
for a thousand more.
That is the future that I see.
That is the future of humanity as a whole -
and that is the opportunity of every individual
for the service to God
and which will result in spiritual growth
for all that make the effort.
Peace and love,
Bruce
