While I don't see that as our subject, nevertheless that is the category the public tosses us into. My subject is the reconstruction of society but one must begin any journey from where they are and the public sees us as being into 'prepping'. When I say that there has been a significant increase, by that I mean that I get more inquiries in a day - than I got in a year - twenty years ago. (You have to remember that I have been at this for over 50 years). Still, with that amount of increase, less than one percent of the population is prepping. People are not only not prepping for the one stringed calamity of nuclear holocaust that I go on about but they are not prepping for anything. When I say the response is overwhelming you may therefore think I am being sarcastic, but the fact is - as few people as there are as compared to the whole, it is getting/gotten to be more than I can handle. A couple of years ago I set up my three criteria for free shelter consultation. 1. Ownership of land 2. An actual budget available to spend 3. A specific deadline for completion That has greatly reduced one burden so that I am now consulting on only several shelters each week rather than the dozens of emails I would have to otherwise answer on that subject. I still answer every email that I get, although I have now developed a rather stock reply to many of them - "ENROLL NOW" at www.webpal.org with maybe one or two more short sentences directed specifically to the writer. That still takes three or four minutes per email - by the time that I read them, some of which are quite lengthy, hit the response, send it and file it by location when that is possible. Yet, 4 minutes times 20 emails is 80 minutes, over an hour out of each day - just doing that. Media takes a bit longer. Already scheduled for this coming week are Postmedia Network, the largest publisher by circulation of paid English-language daily newspapers in Canada, TV Guide, and Huffington Post. This week past there were two radio shows, one of which came and taped here but in broadcast was a parody like the Penn and Teller episode. Lots of National Geographic repeat broadcasts taking place. It seems to me that all this is mostly smoke and very little fire as far as real prepper interest. Other matters being sorely neglected. Duncan came and spent a day trying to get the generator going and has scheduled another person to come during the week or next Saturday depending how their current project wraps up. Three newspapers and two TV stations wanted to come and do on site interviews this coming week but I can't do that without lights. Paris Match also insisting that they are coming but while I have told them the same thing, they haven't responded that they aren't coming. Che and crew came yesterday and moved a wheelchair ramp and the remains of the limbs that landed on the car. They plan to come again in two weeks to prepare for the big work weekend when we will be inviting over 40 people. Between Wilf coming down from Elliot Lake and fixing the gate and working on the remains of last year's woodpile - and Fred coming last Sunday and moving it practically by himself - it is now in the garage so we can now take delivery of this year's. Jean complaining about smoke from the old damp wood so after attending a wake tonight I will take her over to stay with our daughter for a couple of nights to give her lungs a chance to clear out. She is coughing up a lot of congestion. Great activity taking place on our radio development. Adam has given me the following layout to show in the newsletter. Most of the components are shown in place but there are as yet few runs that have been laid out between them. The big circles are the ferrite torroids, which are central to the design, and perhaps the most difficult component for us to obtain. Showing this is premature but I wanted to show that progress is being made. We haven't ordered the components for four prototypes as yet but Leslie says he is sending a thousand dollar contribution so that we can do so. The actual size of the radio will be about eight inches by six inches and 3 inches high. There will be few controls necessary. On the front (at the left of the photo) beginning at the bottom of picture and working up will be: a. the big transmit light b. the transmit switch c. the receive light d. the power on light e. the audio out plug (which you run to your computer sound card - audio in plug like where you would usually plug in a microphone to your computer) e. the audio in plug (which you run to your computer sound card - audio out plug like where you would usually plug in a speaker) f. LED meter that shows your transmission strength On the backside there is: g. a place to plug on the antenna- h. a place to connect the power supply. That is the whole thing for the radio. Four places to plug in cables - and one switch to toggle. On the computer you will need to plug in the two wires from the radio - and then load the UI (User Interface) program. Darlene is modifying the UI to Carlton's specifications. Originally there were over 1300 variables that the user could choose in the program. So far these have been reduced down to around fifty - and we hope to get them down to around twenty. Even those mostly have defaults. The two that you will have to select are: 1. The frequency 2. Whether you are in Transmit or Receive mode. Some of the other options will be degree of noise attenuation an area in which to type messages an area in which to receive messages Other than that it is pretty much automatic. When the software is complete we will make it freely available to everyone who registers for it. Existing Hams will be able to use it with their existing rigs. You may wonder what in the world the other 1300 variables did. Well- the original software worked on: a. many bands (we use only the 80 meter band) b. with a great variety of systems (we use only PSK31) c. and performed all sorts of contest and other functions such as auto-logging and acknowledging contacts during contests. These and many other things in the software, as well as sometimes many dozens of knobs and buttons with hundreds of settings on the radio, made the systems very confusing and allowed for innumerable types of mistakes. We are trying to make it as simple as possible. In future emails I hope to describe how our system operates and how it is entirely different from Ham Emergency Systems, although any Ham will be able to access it with their existing equipment. I also hope to establish procedures for enrolling in the SAFE Ham Net and I think that Carlton is going to take control of that. But, enough of this for this time. You can see how this is one more item that keeps me very busy. One project that is keeping me extremely busy at the moment is the coordinating of the writing of the ten novels and many people may wonder why we would take on such a task. The reason is that we hope through this medium to be able to explain to people what SAFE/Ark Two/LERNs/TRIADs are really about and to get them to enroll and participate. Unless we have thousands (perhaps tens of thousands) more participate the SAFE Radio Net and the LERNs will never have a chance of functioning. Fortunately there are many people helping with all this. In addition to those that I have mentioned above you see every week a marvelous new YouTube by Victoria and Pierre maintains the Facebook. But what we really need is a National Coordinator. This is really a full time job. Well, actually about 4 hours per day every day. This should be a highly paid fulltime position - but unfortunately we don't charge any fees so we have no budget. Others do charge. There is one program similar to ours that charges $1000 for what we give away for free and what they have is not as beneficial. Several of our members have joined them and that has been their report back to me. But - no matter. I have no objection to what others do. Numerous people have split off from what we are doing because they have a different vision - and that is fine with me. I will be as supportive of their efforts as I can be. Last week I told you about the lengthy two and a half hour video presentation by Joel Skousen on the Ultimate Preppers Guide - Strategic Relocation There came to me this week another excellent free prepper source It is a little tricky to download this free book - but go to the above link and then click on file and then click on download. I find the book to be quite insightful although I disagree with the author's view about the money solution and we might have philosophical issues in some other areas. Nevertheless, both this book and Skousen are well presented alternative views to what I present. Most of the stuff out there is just buy this or that and be concerned about just saving yourself. I don't think that is going to work. This book will provide you with a lot of prepper suggestions, something that many people complain that I do not do, and that is probably true - because I don't consider myself a prepper. The writer probably doesn't consider me one either because while he has a list in the book of many prepper web sites he doesn't include SAFE. Here is Victoria's contribution for this week. #15 Detecting Radiation Because I know so many people are going to write to me asking where to get the equipment please let me give you my recommendation right here. This is Shane Connor's www.radmeters4u.com I got Shane into the radiation detector business. Before he was selling (and still does sell) radiation pills at www.ki4u.com I have known Shane for many years and he has done me many favors but I don't make one thin dime out of anything he sells. Neither from the radiation detectors or the radiation pills. So I am just doing this as a favor to you and Shane. Last week I asked that anyone to whom I still owe books to please write to me - and I wrote to everyone that I could identify on my computer. There is one person that I still have to get the books off to although I have tried several times before. Will try to do it again next week. But many wrote to many and said that they would make do with the books they have and I could sell, give-a-way, or donate to libraries the rest that I owe to them. It had been the plan all along, once the book sales really got going, to use the money to pay for the radios after the initial engineering fiasco. For those who don't know the story, an engineer told us that he would build ten prototypes for $300 each. He wasn't able to do that, but the Trust company gave him the money anyway. The radio development is going to actually cost a lot more than that. One estimate/quote we subsequently received was for $500,000. What I next felt was the most reasonable actual estimate was $60,000. I know now that was low, and probably for what we are actually ending up doing - over $100,000 would be very reasonable. But, we are getting there by a number of miracles. Continued support as just mentioned above, not to mention that we have a tremendous new book distributor in Butch, and that people have donated tens of thousands of dollars in engineering and effort. How the project is progressing and time estimates for completion, I will deal with next or another time, after I receive some more input. I did not make the books an E-book although the savings in production cost would have been a lot more effective. I wanted people to have the book available as a hard copy when they needed it later. Not working out, and then we lost our inventory - but now it is back and I can meet my commitments on that. More than meet the commitments. Because of the supporters contributions we will now have more to go towards the radio project. Nevertheless, in keeping with the wishes of some - I will send out some books free to those who request it and that can't afford to buy one. I will also send one to your local public library if you will get them to send an email with the request and saying that they will make it available to the public. Unfortunately, that program has not gone well either as we have discovered that many libraries won't accept a free book. In the future we may change the book program and we are going to certainly have to reevaluate our approach, especially about the new series. I don't think giving them away will work because we don't have the distribution channels and someone like Amazon won't let you give them away - but I am told Amazon does have 99 cent books and that may be the way to go. This newsletter is way too long already but I am going to end it with the essential appeal for a US National Coordinator. You may well ask why anyone would want to do that? The answer is service to humanity. People continually ask me why I do what I do. Those who have purpose in their lives to serve God and their fellow human beings don't ask the question. So if you are one to ask the question, then you aren't going to like the answer. But if you like the answer - then please answer this urgent request. The need and situation is accelerating. Peace and love, Bruce DawnSayer@webpal.org Bruce Beach 161 Main St. Horning's Mills Ontario L0N 1J0 Canada This is a link to the book everyone needs now - and which we hope they will buy and support our cause. This is a link to the book everyone will need the day AFTER the Great Catastrophe - but which they need to buy and read NOW!.

SAFE Ark Two Newsletter November 18th, 2012 Noting the News In a May newsletter I noted a sea change in Israel quoting my best Israeli source (David Dolan) that some events were the worst they had been since 1973. This week we can certainly see that playing out. I am not expecting major events until next year despite the intensity of the news this morning. We never know one day to the next - although the biggy remains Iran and there are many peripheral players in Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt. December Mayan 2012 date now just a month away - but again, not in my paradigm. I do think in the next 90 days we will see some significant activities on the financial front aside from the reputed 'cliff'. Just me. I am often wrong, but not always. I commented two weeks before the election about how all the employment statistics were so positive and how the numbers were so often just lies. Now two weeks after the election the official report is that the employment statistics are the worst that they have been in the last eighteen months. Who would have thunk! This week lots of riot/union/budget stuff from Europe which as of this week is supposed to have gone into a double dip recession. The whole Petraeus thing is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. I was reading/reporting in this newsletter, two weeks before it happened, that some were saying that there was within CIA a faction/plot/intrigue for an October surprise regarding Benghazi leading up to the Obama November election contest. One needs a flowchart to follow even the superficial reported parts. Among others was the 'ethicist' article that I mentioned being in the NY Times two weeks before the resignation. First denied but now confirmed and Klosterman is now right there on many of the charts. Same regarding the FBI reports to key political GOP members of Congress. Lots of generals and navy people resigning/fired. Talk, talk, talk about a coup. I hear from people advocating it. CERTAINLY NOT MY THING. Same story on secession, if you have been following that, but again CERTAINLY NOT MY THING. - Anyway I suspect a coup plan was nipped in the bud. As I said last time - we may never know - but there are plenty of historical precedents. Is Change Possible? No - change is inevitable. The question is the direction of change. Even the direction of change inevitably changes. That is what we call cycles. It is all a part of the apparent duality of this world. cause/effect white/black light/dark heat/cold good/evil yin/yang up/down and the list goes on and on and around and around. We live in a time of rapid change and it is accelerating. In the environment / weather geology / earthquakes employment / purpose government / service science / technology countries / cultures communities / family economy / financial arts / morality world / peace It is obvious to most of us that we are now on a down cycle that will eventually reach a climax in catastrophe and then we shall have to begin an up cycle. The question is - what should be the goals of the next up cycle? The communist ideal has always been to change human nature by social means. Improve the surroundings and change man so that "To each according to his need and from each according to his ability." We know that doesn't overcome the problem of greed - and the leaders benefit while followers sacrifice. There is no path to a classless society. There will always be degrees of difference between individuals. Saints, Sinners, and Satans. The humanists have felt that humanity can be changed through culture and education such as by psychology, public relations, and early childhood education. But they have no stated / agreed upon goal such as do the communists and simply wander around in a mass of conflicting theories. The path to cultural / human / social change has always been religion and that is the nature of man and reality. The atheist / communist / (religion is an opiate) and the humanist / materialist /(religion is a myth) positions have always pointed to 'failed' religion such as when it becomes dogmatic and oppressive. But that is shortsightedness. Would one say to never plant another crop - because all the previous years' crops have ended up dying in the Fall? Would one say to never have children - because they all end up becoming old and dying? Civilizations / cultures / religions become old and die. It is a part of the cycle of life. Yes, the old cycle has ended but the time has come to begin a new and hopefully better one. Civilization / science / religion are supposed to be progressive. Cycles within cycles - just as there are days within months months within seasons seasons within years and years within ages - some beyond our comprehension. The overall cycles are something over which we have no control over - and they are a part of our destiny - just as we have no control over our birth, aging and death. But we as individuals and communities / cultures we do have control over our individual lives and existence as to whether / how well we will fulfill the potential for which we were created. What that potential is - is determined and known by our Creator - and for humanity that insight is provided by Prophets selected by the Creator. Each of us has the capacity to recognize The Prophet of our Day and Age - and to therefore follow The Prophet's directive to fulfill our potential. Collectively that leads to an improved civilization. No, the Tree of Religion is not dead. It has just been shedding its leaves from one Fall Season - and Winter - and is about to enter the Divine Springtime. There is still only One God - and one religion - the Religion of God. Each of us see it individually from our perspective - and our cultures - but Truth and God remain One. People do not wonder that science continually changes its understanding. That the theories / comprehensions of yesterday are replaced by better today. Yet, somehow they do not want that of religion, our understanding of God, although God encompasses both science and religion both now and in billions of years / eternity past and future both here and elsewhere throughout the immensity of the universe. This needed change in attitude / comprehension / understanding is in itself the Great Change taking place in this age. The two most favored times in which to live. ONE is in the time of a Manifestation of God. I feel sure that if I had lived in the time of Jesus - I would not have recognized Him for Who He is, no more than did most who saw Him. Sitting in a crowd of thousands I would not have seen some beautiful Nordic blond individual standing before me in shining robes with a halo over his head and Angels peering over His shoulders. No- I, like everyone else, would have seen a rather short darker skinned individual with a large nose sweating under a hot sun without benefit of air conditioning and would have heard Him espousing political ideas that were not very popular - like be obedient to the Roman oppressors, and socialist concepts of giving to the poor. Those ideas were no more popular with some then than if Such an Individual had espoused them in the election just past. Love your enemies in the face of demands for increased spending by the military / industrial complex? Ouch. What chance would you think there would be for a Guy like that to become popular down through the succeeding centuries - even if His ideas did not. He would be just as likely to be crucified now - as then, and most adamantly by the supposed followers who are expecting Him now - as there were then. As bountiful as it would have been to be in that time, two thousand years ago, today's experience of Sandy would have been nothing compared to everyday life then. Not only: no air conditioning or central heating but no electricity. Not ever. No auto transportation. No anesthetics. No indoor plumbing or modern hygiene. No supermarkets. No cell phones. Just no, no, no. And the people in Sandy think they have it bad. (Well, they do but we live in coddled times.) Yet, for a Christian the greatest bounty would be to deserve to hang on a cross next to one's Lord. I would probably pass with Peter. THE SECOND most favored time in which to live - is the one in which you are living. The time of The Great Catastrophe. The time when people may look at how their plan has not worked out and may be willing to consider God's Plan. The time when one can help implement The Plan of God for the New Age. So, what is God's plan for this Day and Age? Not a popular one - for sure. Service instead of 'success'. Sharing instead of greed. Sacrifice instead of conquest. Submission instead of power. Morality instead of do your own thing. Certainly not one thing there that you would want to campaign on in an American presidential election. And any ideas that there might be towards having a World Government to assure world peace, or unification of humanity in a religion that recognizes that there is One God over all - certainly forget that. If even the Manifestation / Prophet / God were running for president and advocating those things - then most would certainly not want Him! Yes, it is going to be a torturous path, as humanity sorts out the choice between what it wants and what its Creator has designed for it. Bad- I have gotten off into religion again. People really do not like for me to do that. I am wondering if we can chalk it up to my old age? Will I ever change? Just retain the thought - it is inevitable. Ark Two / SAFE Goals Who I would like to reach with this newsletter is a population of people of any age or other demographic who are amenable or who will become amenable to using the LERN system for reconstructing society after The Great Catastrophe - and who are teachable about the system. I don't know who they are - or how to reach them. Because people don't know what is really needed, we struggle on - to reach people of other interests such as survival. If anyone has a better idea, I would certainly welcome it. Twenty years ago, even ten years ago, there were less than a half dozen organizations out there try to convince people that they should prepare for nuclear holocaust. Even then, as now, most looked upon me as a one stringed instrument. Today, there are a multitude of organizations and some have very good information. The following is a lengthy two and a half hour video presentation by Joel Skousen on the Ultimate Preppers Guide - Strategic Relocation I find Joel to be very scholarly and insightful. He also presents his ideas in a very calm and dignified manner. His recommendations are well thought out. I disagree with him, and Alex, about there being a single 'They'. I also disagree to some extent with his goals for the future. AND I don't feel that either Joel or Alex has a real plan for reconstruction. Joel and Alex and many preppers have a great anger towards 'They' for whom they blame for the difficulties. I think that Joel, although he doesn't express it in the video, may share with many a vision of the future - in which Divine Intervention without human help will resolve the difficulties of the world but I think we are going to have to work to build a better future and for that we need to know God's Plan. SAFE has once again lost its US National Coordinator. The previous National Coordinator quit and started his own organization because I keep mentioning religion and he felt it should be "America ONLY" oriented. His organization is at AmericaRebuilds.US if some of you think that it might appeal to your interests better. The latest coordinator did not give a reason for resigning but whatever - people think I miss the point about survival. And it is true. While I realize that people need to survive to construct society anew, Ark Two is not really about survival - it is about reconstructing a society / world that has turned away from God. While we do not make any restrictions on what religion a person is a member of we do emphasize that humanity needs to turn back to the TRUE religion of loving God AND their neighbor - that is to say ALL of humanity. Everyone has a differing vision. I hear every month from several people who are starting their own survival web site or organization. I don't think most of them go anywhere - but I could be wrong. One fellow claims that he has gotten over 550,000 'likes' on his Facebook page about firearms prepping, something that many feel is a great deficiency of this newsletter. What's Happening at Ark Two Had a curious thing happen this week that has never happened before. I think it was probably a pinched nerve or something but it was extremely painful in my lower back and I couldn't move for several hours. Has mostly gone away, although I still can't pick anything up. More and more things like this are happening to make us realize that we are getting older. It frightened Jean because she didn't know how she would be able to bring in wood. Got me to thinking if someone would like to come for an extended 'visit' they could stay with us and give us a hand. All they would need is a US passport to get over the border - and a letter from us saying they were coming to visit. Could even be a teen. We are obviously needing a lot of help on a lot of fronts. If someone would like to volunteer to be the new US National Coordinator - please let me know. It is obviously not an easy task. Requires a lot of continuous work on our data base. We very much need to increase and strengthen the structure of SAFE. We would now like to extend it down to where we have TEAM Leaders in all 500 of the Districts. You can help with this. Please just send me an email at bruce@webpal.org giving your postal code and nearest town or city and state. LOTS of work this week on the radio project. It is now in Adam's and Darlene's hands. National Geographic phoned to say that the Ark Two episode will be shown in 171 countries this coming season. Getting a lot of media attention because of that. Victoria's video for this week is on: The Walking Dead Peace and love, Bruce DawnSayer@webpal.org Bruce Beach 161 Main St. Horning's Mills Ontario L0N 1J0 Canada This is a link to the book everyone needs now - and which we hope they will buy and support our cause.

SAFE Ark Two Newsletter November 11th, 2012 A Solution For Sandy I have looked at catastrophes for decades and noted the problem in solving the aftermath. I think that I have one solution that would help. Let me first say that many Americans are very generous and well intentioned but that our present solutions often just don't work. Immense contributions to the Red Cross and other established institutions often just never get to the intended recipients - or at best a dribble does. Donating into announced bank accounts often leaves one wondering who is actually collecting the money and where it goes? Collections of goods, clothing, books, food most often never make it to the intended recipients. Transportation is just too expensive and there is no truly workable method of distribution. What then can be done? My solution, if you want to really help in a situation is to set a local goal of collecting tens of thousands of dollars to be given to a local individual that you know and trust - and then send that individual to the catastrophe situation with a free hand to do whatever they can do. Sometimes - they can do nothing. I have had personal experience in that way. At one time when I had resources I went to another country to give assistance. The first thing that I ran into were the import duties. If we were going to bring this assistance and gift into the country we had to pay duty. The second thing that we ran into was corrupt government officials. The first problem could be surmounted by bribes - which I refused to give. The third problem was simply the bureaucracy of getting permits to do anything. We ended up sticking our hands in our pockets and coming home and the country did not get what would have been hundreds of thousands of dollars of assistance. I have heard of others making the same attempt. Simply taking planes loaded with supplies and flying into Haiti for example. End result - often the same horror stories. Not just one, but several such incidences that I am personally aware of in that particular situation. And it is not just in other countries. We had a bad tornado in Canada and I took our trucks and employees, formed a convoy and headed to the disaster scene. We managed to make it through the disaster barricades. But there was resistance and anger. I was then, as I am now, a rather notorious individual. People who were not damaged were sitting on their porches doing nothing. Still, I asked them if there was some way we could assist them. No, but they complained to police. We went to the town community center. But the local officials were swamped and had no idea how or where to use what we were offering. I had brought along a couple of big bags of candy bars and went about offering them to the emergency workers. Finally ran onto a couple of families that welcomed our assistance and our workers helped them pull their belongings out of the rubble and to put it onto our trucks for transport to where they had storage. It was at this point that I heard a loud speaker on a Provincial police car driving through saying my name and ordering me to report to them. I responded and was told that I would have to leave the area immediately. Back to the local officials with one of the families we were assisting and the local officials told the Provincial police to stuff it. But you can see the difficulty. So - I know what I am suggesting is not a cure all and sometimes won't work, but I think it is the better idea. The question most asked in the neighborhoods devastated by Sandy is, "Where is the Red Cross? Where is FEMA?" What those organizations, or anyone with lots of money, could do, is give money to a trusted individual, who can then go there and help resolve problems. If it were myself, what would I do? Well, one can always buy tons of blankets. They are in warehouses elsewhere. Load them on rental truck and drive there to hand them out. There are many, many such needed items. I would just like to buy thousands of pairs of socks and some back packs. Go into the crushed neighborhoods without electricity, no laundry facilities and such, and fill the back packs with socks and tell kids to go out and hand them out. Some people are worried about someone ripping them off. Well, some may - but most won't. The real rip off comes in the present response methods. The people doing the ripping off are the bureaucrats, the accountants, lawyers (concerned about liability), the highly paid government officials (wife of a politician who has gotten millions for heading the Red Cross) while the old lady needing food on the 13th floor - now a walk up - gets nothing. And I can tell you that society lady from the Red Cross is NOT going to walk up there. There may be a little rip off at the lower levels in my system but nothing like those are doing at the higher levels now. How many dollars collected in insurance actually gets back to those suffering losses? Let us not talk about that. Or tax dollars paid into FEMA that get into the hands of the destitute? When The Other Shoe Drops The election is over but suspense remains about many things. Sandy has passed but the destruction remains. Wilf watching the news with me remarked that they will NEVER recover. Just like New Orleans never recovered and if there is going to be an increase in the number of these types of events - then we are going to see non-recovery as an increasing mode. And what are we witnessing? Local catastrophes. This particular one was relatively sudden. The results lengthily remaining. I am particularly saddened about the old folks and incapacitated individuals on the 13th stories without elevators, water, or heat. There are other disasters that are creeping. Loss of jobs, falling behind on payments, foreclosures. Some of these have been endemic for decades in some neighborhoods and cities. Still others are environmental, reminiscent of the dustbowl of my youth. Just as in the Great Depression - times were great if you had money. Prices were low and workers were eager. We hear about the difficulty of people on fixed incomes, but for many it is not all that bad. They have incomes. It is those that are without income that are seriously impacted. Families are broken, lives discouraged. But, the Princeton survey showed this week that consumer confidence has risen to the highest point in the last couple of years. Just in time for Christmas. I don't really know what to make of all that. Does that mean for most? Does it mean that we are just walking away from greater and greater bunches on Long Island, in New Orleans, in the black ghettos of the major cities, in the campgrounds and parking lots where people are sleeping in their cars - but for most we can say - "Hey, this is the new norm - and I am okay"? There are other signs. I have never before seen so much talk in the financial news about the stock market being about to undertake a 'correction'. Almost as if they were willing or wanting it. I do think it is controlled so nothing will surprise me. There are other major pressures that aren't exactly making headline news - such an the European Central Bank rejecting the Greek solution. There may be no solution for many of these things. Nice of it to held off until after the election. And then there is the FINANCIAL CLIFF scheduled for January. Almost coincides with the election in Israel which some as seeing clearing the way for Netanyahu to go after Iran. Lots of rumor and speculation about MANY things. Shades of Major General Smedley Butler in the year that I was born. He testified before the US Congress regarding a military plot for a coup to overthrow the President of the United States. It wasn't the first or last time. It is called "Crossing the Rubicon" because way back in Roman times - that was the act of Julius Caesar. It is a question that I raised last week about to people who were supporting the generals disobeying the Commander in Chief. Have you noticed how many generals have been fired in the last couple of months? The American way, from the time of Lincoln, through those exposed by Smedley Butler, to Truman and MacArthur, to perhaps Petreaus, has been to allow them to resign. I heard lots of rumor about Petreaus and the CIA for two weeks before the sudden announcement. It was about an October surprise to get Obama before the election. If you are Obama you would be rather naive not to be watching your back. You would need some good black brothers that you trusted in the FBI to get the goods on the plotters. That was the Hoover way of control. He tapped MLK, JFK, and the works. It was the reason none dared to fire Hoover. Swords cut both ways. Just sayin. I don't know anything. But then neither do any others who will take a stance on one thing or another - in this day. But the big issues are still with us - whether or not you are confident about what the stock market is going to do in the morning. It made no difference who was elected - there is going to be: increasing world hunger increasing world unemployment increasing riots and terrorism increasing suicides increasing violence and crime increasing deterioration of social services as evidence of: world monetary instability/disruption/collapse world economic instability/disruption/collapse world political instability/disruption/collapse world diplomatic instability/disruption/collapse which are all apparent effects of: serious environmental/weather deterioration world trade arms races cultural conflicts but the world root causes across cultures remains: materialism selfishness/greed immorality prejudices - religious/patriotic/racial/political which reflect a world that has turned away from the Divine - and which is going to suffer the consequences. In my view of course - the consequences will be nuclear WW3 as a precursor of the Great Catastrophe This is why people call me a doomsayer - although I style myself as a DawnSayer - because I view this not as the End - but rather the Beginning of humanity - and for which we must reconstruct a new and better world. No tinkering with: political systems - educational systems - environmental systems - economic systems - financial systems - will now even ameliorate the situation. The only solution is complete RESET. How few that understand that - are willing to consider that - are willing to examine alternatives - or can even imagine alternatives. But the eventual situation may change all that. We can hope. All this - and I never even mentioned the Mayan Calendar thingie next month. Sorry, that one just sorta dropped off my radar, but I do think that by this time in February, which is just 90 days off - that there will have been enough events to give you something to talk about over your morning coffee. The next big news item besides the Financial Cliff that is already on the calendar (although others may intervene) is the early election in Israel which is widely seen as a referendum of approval for Netanyahu to strike Iran. Always something of interest.

This Week At Ark Two

The Ark Two scene is active as always. Some very good help this week. Finally got the gate leveled, the worms worried, and a number of other projects done with another couple of crews expected this coming weekend to tackle some important tasks. Some good progress appears to be in the offing for the radio, but more about that when it happens.

One thing of GREAT relief this week. The book inventory was retrieved and I can send out the books that I owe to everyone. I do have a problem. Because of a computer crash I lost the email addresses of those who initially supported the project and to whom I still owe books. Would you please email me with your current snail mail address? I am concerned some may have moved. I was really concerned that I wasn't going to be able to fulfill my commitment on that. You wouldn't believe the story behind the problem.

Victoria has done another video. This one has some pretty gross scenes and for that reason you may not want to watch it, but here is this weeks video on understanding

The Effects of Radiation

This newsletter is Copyleft: and may be used by anyone. SAFE Ark Two Newsletter November 4th, 2012 Non-coherent I have bundles of things that I should be writing about. Regarding the radio. Regarding the book distribution. Regarding the books that we are writing. The past week has been very intense for many people because of Sandy - and the coming week promises to be also because of the election. I usually get lots of sleep - just not all at once. But not this last week. A nap after supper but then usually about five hours on the computer during the night. Radio project, coordinating book writers, working on this week's YouTube. Many emails and a few more than usual this week because the National Geographic Ark Two segment was on again. Lack of sleep, for me, equals lack of coherence, so there is nothing that I can do but make this a short newsletter. And a late newsletter. I have been trying to send the newsletters out after midnight on Saturdays so that people will get them on Sunday. But last night I was just too tired to write and this morning Che and Troy came to cut the tree, bring in firewood, water the batteries, and work on the gate post. They really slugged at it until mid-afternoon and got lots done. We didn't get the gate post finished but John has now loaned me the equipment for the task and Wilf is supposed to arrive for a few days on Wednesday and I am hoping that he and I can finish it, straighten out the woodpile and worry the worms. Ark Two is really rather gigantic and it takes lots of help to keep it going. Duncan has found the generator part so we hope to tackle that on the coming weekend. I have ordered the necessary radio parts, but for two weeks tomorrow, Newark has not been able to process PayPal. I will try to get through to them again tomorrow, amidst two medical appointments (one with a surgeon for this skin cancer everyone is after me to get removed from my cheek), and checking on our book inventory, which is such a weird situation that I can't tell you about it and you would probably think it is just my wild imagination if I did. Here are the results from last week's poll. As always - they surprised me. I certainly don't see the world the way that other people do. Mind you most people (not those who read this newsletter) are totally disinterested in these subjects and neither read or think anything about them at all. That is why there are so few 'preppers' among the people that you personally know in your community. Those who are interested in prepping, often want nothing to do with me, because they have strong views regarding politics and religion that are opposite to those expressed in the video, so they therefore quickly unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once those two categories have been strained out - I really thought, that among the newsletter readers, more would Greatly Agree with the poll - but here are the results. 40% greatly agree 25% somewhat agree 14% somewhat disagree 21% greatly disagree Well, I certainly welcome readers who strongly disagree. Diversity of opinion is important in communities and the Ark Two Community certainly needs that - but of course at the same time unity and acceptance of others. In regards to this last week's survey - one reader writes: "I don't buy the "fact" that our version of capitalism is fundamentally evil; just like socialism, monarchy, etc is fundamentally evil." [Hmmm. That is a leap. I don't know that socialism or monarchy are fundamentally evil. And certainly not capitalism. But as to our version of 'corporate capitalism', yes. Soulless, godless, entity that the US Supreme Court has declared to be a 'person'.] The reader continues: I have never seen a video so loaded with adjectives, probably five for every noun. It isn't enough to say that corporations run the place, they have to be "evil, degenerate, money-grabbing, controlling" corporations. [Yep, soulless, godless, whose bottom line is profit only. I don't think one of them would go out and sacrifice themselves. Intentionally go out of business for the sake of humanity. Fits my comprehension of them. May be some good men in them, not for me to judge, but as to the entities themselves and their motives and policies. Yep, "evil, degenerate, money-grabbing, controlling".] The reader continues: "So I voted "greatly disagree." Not because the actual facts were incorrect, but that the video was misleading. I am a big believer in capitalism, and hope to be rich someday (Lord willing) so I can actually make a change in this world. Funny how people listen to you if you have a lot of money. Of course my greatest success or failure will be measured by my performance as a husband, father, and son of God." [I would think one's performance in this world will be more measured 'by' the Son of God, and I don't really think God is watching the Dow and saying of any corporation - "Ahhh, you are doing good - so you are going to get into heaven."] But anyway - I thank every person who has sent me comments - and it is through learning diversity of views that we all change our opinions and hopefully progress. Free Firewood Delivery One of my readers wrote to me this last week that he doesn't like me talking about our cutting our firewood but it as all a part of the ambience of Ark Two. I didn't headline this as Storm Damage because there really wasn't much damage. I was up to say prayers for those that the storm was striking at that hour and happened to be on the phone the instant the big front/downdraft/wind whooshed in. I said to the person on the phone - "Wow, listen to that wind." But I didn't see the scene in the picture until I opened the drapes in the morning. The limb was too heavy for me to lift off - and I had already removed a sizable pile before I went in to get the camera. Jean came out - and I lifted one edge of the limb and she backed out. As mentioned above Che and Troy came today and cut it up. One miracle after another throughout the week. On all sorts of things that I can't relate. But I kept exclaiming to others - "This is a miracle." People say to me, "Boy, was that lucky!", and I reply - "No, that wasn't luck. That was a blessing!" In regards to the tree - I felt sure that we were the only people within a hundred miles that got singled out for that downdraft or whatever it was, but Fred 30 miles north was hit also. Some would say - "Why us?" The answer is because of what we do. Most people won't believe this but there are evil forces loose in the world and they do target those who try to do good. But - there are also angels that the Lord has sends to protect us. You would have had to be here to see how one single inch made the difference, and to exclaim, "Praise the Lord!" I have a prayer list of over 200 people for whom I have said prayers everyday without missing for many, many years. Names come and go from the list but the prayers go on. A part of the prayer is the following quote: "Verily, We behold you from Our realm of glory, and shall aid whosoever will arise for the triumph of Our Cause with the hosts of the Concourse on high and a company of Our favored angels." Indeed, I do feel the presence of those angels, and oftentimes their presence is made known through this newsletter's readers. People are angels. Literally. They are just here having an earthly experience. Numbers of them have helped us this week. I knew that one of the TEAM Leaders was right in the path of the storm Sandy and I tried to call them a couple of times. They finally called back and they and their family had escaped unscathed. Their new modern home had been completely demolished. All that was left was a water filled pit that had been the basement and they were now staying in the upstairs of the house of a relative senior that they had recently helped build next door. The waves had pushed in the doors and windows of that house and had washed out the lower story but they are able to shelter in the upper rooms. To each other we repeatedly communicated the thought of, "Praise the Lord!", because we both realized that nothing important was lost so long as one retains their relationship to the Lord. Yes, they had lost their home, three vehicles, all their physical possessions, and it not only looks like a disaster - but it is a disaster. Ninety percent of the homes in their neighborhood are gone and they are one of the few families still there. But, the TEAM Leader assured me that none of that loss really matters, because none of those things is one going to take from this world, and it is all a chance to grow in Faith and to understand the Lord's mercy. Okay, I could tell you more and about others, but I will stop because I know many of you do not like for me to go on this way. I am going to stop here - because even with the clock fall back it is getting late and as mentioned - tomorrow has lots to do.
