SAFE Ark Two Newsletter January 20th, 2013 Further Radio Progress If we continue to make progress on the radio as we have for the last month, I hope to be able to give you some update each week. The radio engineers, Adam and Bob, are planning to spend another day on it this coming Friday. Hopefully Adam will come up on Thursday and stay overnight so that they can spend a full eight hours together on it Friday, as they did last time. In the interim, and separately they both continue to work on aspects of it. Last night Darlene sent a new compile of the User Interface software and Carlton and I have returned a critique. It is coming along VERY well! Below, I will go into detail about what is going on with the radio project - but for the moment to current events: These are some little factoids that many of you may not have seen in the MSM. 1. Israeli election is on Tuesday. Binyamin Netanyahu expected to be returned. Has promised no settlements will be removed. More importantly may have support for action against Iran. Some talk about late Spring (weather window and all that). 2. Iran and IAEA have agreed to further talks on Feb 12th. However, the talks ending yesterday failed to gain IAEA access to Parchin military site. Much speculation as to Iran's current nuclear readiness. 3. Syria coming to a head. This reported two days ago: [Jan 17, 2013] MOSCOW (Reuters) - Two Russian ships heading for a naval exercise off Syria this month are picking up munitions on their way to the Syrian port of Tartous. also "The activity of the consulate of the Russian Federation in Aleppo ... has been temporarily suspended," the Foreign Ministry said in a brief statement. (While supportive of Syria - Russia has been removing personnel for the last month. This is indicative of expected conflict. - Bruce) 4. When I google Italy, Spain, Portugal nothing comes up on the news except about sports. But - I knew from other sources what to look for - so I googled "riots" individually for each one of them. Yep, like everywhere - it is difficult to find the real news. AND - I don't know what is important but I think what is happening because of the Euro is more important than sports. Lots of riots in Britain and elsewhere in Europe. Did you know that? Shush - watch the ballgame. 5. And I can't tell you how important this is - but if it catches on it could really be significant. This week Germany announced that it is going to repatriate some of its gold. All the countries used to leave the gold in each other's vaults and just take title to it. Nope, says Germany. Put it on a ship and send it home. (I spent hours researching gold this week - and I could write a book, but I won't bother you.) 6. In the Great Catastrophe one thing people will think more important than gold is - food. Now, here is an interesting factoid. Chinese grain imports. I look at it through different eyes - just as I do looking at the world's largest mall (which they are still building five years later) and which still stands vacant. (I call the mall a dual purpose building.) Newscasters say the Chinese don't understand supply and demand / market bubbles / modern financing - that they are not good business people. Similarly, about the grain that they are suddenly in one year tripling their imports because they can't feed their people. (Again I see a dual purpose - but you know my paradigm and that none agree with me.) 7. Lots of hot spots for the next 30 days: Mali - Algeria - China / Japan - North / South Korea - Pakistan / India (one of my favorites) - with dozens of places that can flare up in the world (many of the 22 Muslim countries) - Turkey - Iraq. Deep concerns in Russia and many other countries in the world. 8. But not to worry about those. The US has its own possible triggering concerns, and if/when the US goes - the world will go with it. The exponentially increasing debt numbers / the Derivative fiasco / and the potential of some specific events so horrible that while I have mentioned them before, I shall not repeat them again - but as it has been said - if history does not repeat itself - it at least rhymes. 9. Fed reserve and budget cliff. (New York Times - Saturday, January 19, 2013) "The Treasury Department said on Dec. 31, 2012, that it had hit the current authorized borrowing limit of about $16.4 trillion. Officials said that by financial juggling they could keep the government solvent, but only until mid-February (Do note the date- Bruce) or early March." 10. Gun/weapon distraction. People are upset about twenty children in Sandy Hook - but while Obama has special news conferences about that - he has released drones against hundreds. All such policies are justified says Albright and this man. I get emails about new weapons. Boeing's EMP. Still just a local weapon. Nothing like the EMP associated with nuclear WW3. But if in your commitment to the right to bear arms you think everyone should be allowed to build their own nuke then this poor man's guided missile (quadracopter) will appeal to you. The quadracopter was a hot item at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show last week). Many versions you can look up on the Internet. Remote control - on board camera. Payload. Stealth launch from a cube van with a rollback roof. I won't draw you a picture. Google map target / cell phone GPS. One man operation. 30 mph - quarter mile high - operated from 3 or 4 miles away. What compound can stop this? Then down and sweep in over the trees and at 3a.m. target the bedroom of any mansion. Miles away they would pull over politely for the fire trucks, ambulances, police cars coming towards them and soon watch it on the TV from home. I don't think banning quadracopters will solve the problem. What is needed is the creation of a just society and a different culture. 11. For months I have said the Ides of February for some significant events. We are now less than 30 days and counting. Here is one more off the wall: On Feb. 15, all nine justices of the US Supreme Court scheduled to gather in conference to review whether Obama used forged government documents and fake identification in order to get elected as commander-in-chief. I could go into the procedural factoids of this matter - but who knows if it will have any significance. So much for the news. No analysis or policy recommendations here. Just factoids. Interpret them as you will. You know my paradigm. Paradigms may differ. Facts don't. Do with them in your paradigm as you will. So now to the Ark Two activity. Victoria has a new video for you. Ark Two #19 - Expedient Shelters. Last time, I didn't get the picture of the prototype board up on a couple of the mirrors - so some of you didn't see it when you clicked in. I have it up there now. So here is that link again. In our rapidly changing world we are changing the radio cabinet design again. The bench prototype version 1, was three boards and in version 2 as shown above we had reduced this down to one board - but I explained that we wouldn't be able to get it into the desired 1 gallon can for shipping. One of the readers, Mikael, suggested one board above the other, so that is presently the plan. I couldn't buy one sample bucket package, so I had to get five - but they have arrived and look like that below. The shipping box The idea is that we will ship the radio in the can with insulation inside the can on top and bottom and surrounding the radio (in addition to the insulation that holds the can in the box). I also received a sample clasp to fit to the can - but that may take some more thought. A wire from the clasp to a coldwater pipe - and your radio will be stored in a Faraday cage. Inside the shipping container I have measured space for the manuals but there are some other materials such as an antenna and possibly a balun that we will have to consider about how to get in. Adam is supposed to be ordering a sample radio cabinet that looks like this: The Radio Cabinet I have turned the picture vertical because that is the way that the radio would fit into the can. We would put the radio into the can vertically upside down - so that a smooth surface of the radio (except for the locking screws) would be on the insulation on the bottom of the can. The other surface beneath the lid would have some connectors - also covered by insulation. There would be enough room in the curvature of the can for the radio controls on one side, and the feet on another side, for the radio cabinet to slip in. There may also be heatsinks on top of the cabinet. But it is all a very tight fit. I hope that I will have further progress to report in the next newsletters. The real subject about the radios, as to how they are to be used and our goals for them, are something that we haven't yet begun to touch upon.
