SAFE Ark Two Newsletter

Trying to Track the News
Everyday there come to me news summaries
from individuals who have spent
many hours each day tracking the news.
Oftentimes they specialize in particular areas.
Some of the reports are so astounding -
that I then try to backtrack to find
the original sources.
One report this week quoted:
JP Morgan:
"We're heading headlong into a financial meat grinder."
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke:
"We're about to plunge off a financial cliff."
Steven Rattner, former Obama Treasury adviser:
"Major market meltdown the likes of which we've never seen is upon on us."
With Google - the earliest source that I could track any of this back to was:
http://blogs.moneyandmarkets.com/
which contained no footnotes or original sources,
so I have no idea how real this is -
but it went viral
and I saw it repeated tens of thousands of times
on the Internet.
There are countervailing views such as a current video of Warren Buffet
saying US banks are doing wonderfully.
Hmmm. That may be - for the banks or at least the top bank management.
Sometimes, I think Warren's announcements may also be a bit self serving
for Warren. I am also noting immense numbers of layoffs in the US
banking industry.

Nevertheless, there were headlines in US Financial News this week about
great improvements in the economy, but the only problem is the headlines
weren't bourne out by details in the story - which were often just the
opposite.
The "fiscal cliff" concept is not in just the US and Euro.
"The impasse in Japan's parliament has raised fears among investors that
the world's third largest economy is being driven towards a "fiscal
cliff", Reuters reported.
"The government running out of money is not a story made up. It's a real
threat," Finance Minister Jun Azumi told a news conference, making a
last-ditch appeal for cooperation by opposition parties to pass the
bill."
Noted one day during the week that the Euro was reported improved and
that (Greece/Italy/Spain/Portugal/Ireland/France)
concerns had largely disappeared from MSM radar screen.
The problem there is that the Euro is really only measured vis-a-vis the
US dollar and that in itself tells nothing about the economic situation
in the Euro countries. But then - after I wrote this I again checked
the stock market and it took a tumble - and they blamed it on the Euro.
Everything is so dynamic that most anything that I write will be
contradicted by events and reports before I can get it to you.
One segment of the US economy is certainly booming.
US Arms Sales have tripled in last year. The US is the
number one arms dealer in the world controlling over 75 percent of all
foreign arm sales. The next country behind (Russia) doesn't do one tenth
as much.

Along that line - this week Russia has removed all its ships from Syria
except for one floating dock. All Russian equipment and remaining troops
are now on the floating dock ready to depart. They have also suspended
all arm deliveries to Syria,
but rebels in Syria have captured some rockets capable of reaching
Israel. Now whether Russia is pulling out because Syria can't pay for
the goods (I doubt that reason) or because they think some action is
imminent that they don't want to be involved in - I can't say, but I do
see this as being VERY significant.
Saudi Arabia is openly supporting collapse of Syria which Iran is
conversely supporting - so major battle lines are being drawn there.
Turkey, France, US also on the collapse side, and with Russia which was
on the support side withdrawing - Lebanon, Jordan and Israel are caught
in the middle.
In Israel the concern is that if Syria tries a 'Hail Mary' (an old Notre
Dame desperate football play) with an attack on Israel - then Hezbollah
in Lebanon to the North, Palestinians on the West Bank, Hamas in Gaza
and Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt - all being supported by Iran, that they
will all descend upon them at once. And now comes the news that the UN
Nuclear watch dog is about to issue a report that Iran has made
substantial progress in nuclear development. More fuel to the Israeli
fires.
I receive some newsletters strongly recommending/supporting that Israel
pre-emptively attack Iran immediately. Of course, I also receive others
that are totally opposed to that action. Nevertheless, gas mask
distribution and shelter assignments have proceeded apace in Israel for
the last week.
The conventional wisdom is that Israel may attack after the major Jewish Holidays that are in the first week of October -
and before the US presidential election.
Based on all the above - I have absolutely no personal short term
predictions as to what is going to happen with Syria, Iran, Israel, the
Euro, US economy, elections, or other things of this sort. I do look at
longer term predictions regarding the Destiny of Damascus, Israel, US,
Armageddon and such - but my personal understanding of prophecy is that
the Great Castastrophe will not occur until after July 28th, 2014 and
perhaps not until 2015. However, I have been notoriously wrong about my
views of specific prophetic times in the past - and I could be equally
wrong now.
Things do seem to be building up for some imminent events. I think
things will be quite different/worse in 2013. I am not a 2012er, but we
do live in exciting times.
Still, things have not reached such a point as to motivate masses of
people in take an interest in SAFE. The National Geographic program
about Ark Two will air again today Sunday Sept. 2nd, at 4pm.
When Nat. G. first put on the program about us in March - I thought we
might get hundreds of thousands of web site hits out of the millions who
would watch and we made a big effort to prepare in expectation that
maybe 20,000 would enroll. Twenty did. You can see how firm a grasp I
have on reality.
Overall media interest regarding Ark Two does continue to accelerate.
While I have been writing this there appeared a courier at our door with
a copy of Colors Magazine - from Italy. The whole issue was about
survival and while they had a nice article about Ark Two much of the
magazine was about people throughout the world who are surviving now in
situations worse than what I hope we at Ark Two will have to go through.
Pressing on with activities here. Adam back from his trip -
and has to complete a major task for his employer before he can do more
on our radio project. The Ham Shack at the Ontario Science tried to help
with our software testing but they have so much electronic equipment on
top of the centre that they were not able to get out a signal. Friday I
took our large transceiver to a technician in Barrie, to make sure that
I am sending a signal for testing the software. Hope to get it back
next week.
I think I have recovered from the illness but then some
symptons/dizziness again. Several doctor/specialist appointments
scheduled this month. Had a heart monitor on for a couple of days but
niece has taken it back - and brought us four quart bottles of soup to
boot. Because our car was down Jean hadn't been able to get out to the
grocery for a few days. Hmmm. Since writing this and upon our return
from Barrie I found a panic message on our answering machine to come in
immediately to a cardiologist. Missed that. Will see when - when they
open again on Tuesday - Monday being a holiday.
We were able to make the trip Friday because Ian gave us a car! Latest
model car - a '96 - that we have ever had. He had it certified, emission
tested, the whole works - and we had absolutely no problem transferring
the plates to it. Good tires for winter and as Jean says - the cleanest
car we have ever had. He knows how grateful we are.
Lots of good things happen for us. Door lock broke and so we couldn't
lock the house for several nights - but I found a new lock that would
fit. And Jean's overhead kitchen light wouldn't turn on since March but
John came over and fixed that just before leaving for a week's vacation.
So just this week Jean has gotten a new car, a new lock on the door, a
new light in the kitchen, and a new printer cartridge for her printer,
plus milk and eggs in the fridge from being able to go shopping again.
Until one is without things like that you can't tell how pleased you are
to get them.
We REALLY need a goat. May be illegal here at the house in the village
but I doubt anyone would complain after looking at our lawn all summer.
If we could get a goat - we would need a goat keeper. I am serious about
this of course, so if there is a goat(s) and keeper that would like to
head this way - let us know. We could certainly keep the goats up on the
farm land at Ark Two.
Once again, I have pretty much breezed away a newsletter without
discussing the subject of Reconstruction in the cities as I have
intended to get into. However, news has intervened - so until we hit a
lull it has had to wait. Who knows - maybe after next week - it will
just be sixty days of political news that I won't be reporting.
We are so greatly needing help with Ark Two but hardly anyone takes it
very seriously and one of the problems is that everyone feels that they
are so rushed and busy. It may be that some day they will wish they'd
had other priorities. Of course - this has been my plaint for the last
30 years - and those who have found other things to do rather than help
Ark Two can look back and say - "See we were right." Maychance it will
continue to be that way.
However, if anyone is inclined to come this way - long term or short
term - we will certainly welcome you. Greatest need at Ark Two at this
very moment is a small engine repairman. Could hire one locally if we
had the funds, but that is never the case either. Some feel that money
will cure all ills - but in reality what I probably need more is
patience and trust in God. I am sure that many people reading this feel
the same in their own lives.
I ran across what I feel is a marvelous book on why we all go through
all the tests that we do. Best writer that I have ever read and I found
his treatment better than that of C.S. Lewis in "The Problem of Pain".
When I saw the description of the book I thought I would like to read it
but then the price was $20 so I had to pass. Next there came an offer
for FREE during the following week and I had no excuse - so I got it and
read it. What a blessing. I saved it and will share it with anyone who
thinks they would like to read it. Just drop me an email at
DawnSayer@webpal.org
Victoria has this weeks new YouTube up plus a guest video. So far there are 8 videos available at the video list link on
