SAFE Ark Two Newsletter
September 16th, 2013
The Continuing Crisis
Well September 11th came and went.
To the chagrin of those wanting the bombing of Syria, Putin intervened.
The Million Muslim March mostly made monotonous media memos. I have
heard participation numbers as low as 25 but I suspect it was ten times
that.
The Two Million Biker Rally confrontation wasn't a tenth of its goal
size either, maybe a couple of thousand, (or even ten times that) but
20,000 would still be only one percent of two million.
Well, any way, more of them showed up than there did of Barry's bombers
over Syria and I guess that is what it takes to call it a successful
National Patriots Day.
I see numerous astute observers stating that the world is in the
greatest state of crisis that it has ever been - surpassing even such
monumental events as The Cuban Missile Crisis.
The Russians and Chinese have drawn a line in the Syrian sand - whether
or not Obama has drawn a red line.
As dampened down as the situation may appear to become, it remains like
an earthquake where the pressures will continue to build along that
fault.
The triggering factor may come from something else. Iran, Israel,
whatever. I think most likely Pakistan/India. Whatever. My guess is in
the next nine months. Whenever. The world is indeed pregnant for
catastrophe.
No matter. To focus upon the interim. The world's economy hangs by a
thread. Large riots/demonstrations this week in such diverse places as
South America and Poland. The US economy seems bad to some but it is
boisterous compared to many places. The US Dollar remains the world
reserve currency, but as it goes - so goes the world.
|
It is quite possible the US is about to suffer a financial collapse -
far surpassing the Great Depression. Government statistics are very
misleading. Intentionally so. The desire is to keep up the public's
confidence. For example - this week I read that there were fewer
unemployment applications.
Consider these four points:
1. Already so many are unemployed or 'discouraged' that there are fewer that can be laid off.
2. The statistics used have been 'shadow' statistics rather than numbers
which economists know that reflect the reality - such as percentages
within an age group who are employed.
3. There are fewer eligible for unemployment.
4. And here is the kicker - when I read down into the article it stated
that three of the main states hadn't reported because 'their computers
were down'.
Those who write such headlines and stories know that it is all a lie.
Their editors and publishers know it also. I honestly do not know what
it is that could prompt the members of the media to perpetuate such
untruths or to be not willing to disclose truths. At all levels, it may
be a desire to retain their jobs and a recognition that most of the
public isn't interested in the truth. It may just be market factors and
that there is no market for the truth. There is certainly no mass appeal
for, or demand for, what I write in this newsletter.
Still, in the MSM it is just lying, lying headlines. About everything.
No/little mention of the pipeline which is the real cause of conflict in
Syria. Nor of the fact that Syria and Iran are trying to shift off US
currency, which is what brought down the roof on Kaddafi in Syria and
Saddam in Iraq.
No transparency. None of us understand what is really going on. Great
evils are afoot that those who discuss the Twin Towers at 9/11 and
Snowden with the NSA disclosures - will NEVER be able to uncover or
disclose.
There are other immense problems in America.
No mention of the boiling anger among the young black males in America
or the pronounced growing racist attitudes in particular segments of the
white society.
The list is long, but the MSM and the masses remain concerned only about
twerking, football season, movies, beauty pagents and current events
not much above that level. There is good news too. Fukushima has quieted
enough that Japan is to host the 2020 Olympics and North Korea is
reopening its joint plants with South Korea. Yesterday's troubling
headlines fade to be replaced by new ones, but if we watch the trend in
growing militiary armaments and movements, the worsening world economy,
increasing number of geopolitical conflicts, increasing environmental
and weather extremes, and numerous other situations political, economic
and moral, we can see that the world crisis is accelerating.
The readers of this newsletter are exceptional in that they are aware
and they too must wonder what they can do about it. The answer is
nothing. It is the world's destiny. We can only be aware so that we can
ameliorate the personal impact as much as possible.
The next major event that faces all of us is the Oct 1 US Federal Budget
deadline. This is the biggest economic confrontation
the US Congress has ever faced because of the size of the US deficit,
and the conflict between the US dollar and other emerging world
currencies in China, Russia, South America, etc.
Because of the failing infrastructure in the US cities, the rapid
decline of the productive sector, the immensity of the military budget,
and the extreme polarization between those with differing views of
solution.
Between:
Obamacare
Sequestration
The Debt Limit
The intractable sides
The Tea Party vs all others
there seems to be no solution -
in the slide down the slippery slope
At the moment, the best the leaders in Congress are hoping for -
is a fifteen day extension of the Budget deadline to Oct 15th -
(while continuing the Sequestration)
and beyond that - the Budget Office says,
using every financial shenanigan they can think of,
the US will hit the debt limit around the end of October -
or the first part of November -
no matter if a budget is passed,
without raising the debt ceiling.
All that I can say to people in financial situations similar to mine -
(and a great many are much worse off)
is to breathe deeply -
focus elsewhere -
and wait until this shakes out -
because we are all just pushing a heavy load
against the unknown
and to where we know not.
On Tuesday, the Bipartisan Policy Center said the debt ceiling will be hit sometime between October 18 and November 5.
Failure to pass a budget has happened only once in US history. Some say
twice but I see it all as one. The first shutdown lasted for six days
from November 13 to 19, 1995. The second part of it 21 days, from
December 16, 1995, to January 6, 1996. I would say to look for a mirror
of the same time frames in 2013-2014, but with much more deleterious
results - so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Conditions then were nothing like they are now. The world was at
relative peace during the Clinton years and there were budget surpluses
rather than deficits. The Republicans hated the Democratic president,
and although they tried to impeach him over something about a cigar,
their anger toward that president, was nothing compared to
the current polarization of the Tea Party and all other factions.
You may see it different. But I was a child through the Great
Depression, heard on the radio Pearl Harbor and the announcement of the
Atomic Bomb, watched men die in the Korean Conflict, held my breath as
the Russian ships with missiles approached Cuba, marched in the peace
marches and with the NAACP, personally saw curfew and the burning of
American cities, and I still tell you - I have never seen the moment of
crisis so threatening. But judge for yourself.
---------------
At SAFE and Ark Two we are keeping our nose to the grindstone in
preparing for what to us seems imminent danger. Since most of the public
remains unaware - the task of preparation has very few workers. We need
more.
Christopher is eagerly looking for active participants to fill state
TEAM Leader and assistant TEAM Leader slots. If you are willing to help
on that front, please contact him.
As the momentum grows it just becomes too much for so few individuals
to keep up with it all. We need to split out specified tasks. I very
much need the help of someone to keep up the state web pages.
If you can do html programming and would be willing to work with the
organization for two hours per week - that would be super! I hand coded
these pages in html, so it requires someone with an understanding of
html to modify them.
Let me explain the level of skill needed. If we were to talk on a scale
of 1-10 we are saying you need to be a three or four. We are not talking
about a genius or maestro. If one of you makes their living in real
html coding for web page development you would probably be at least
about a 7 or 8, far above what we need, but we would be thrilled if you
would do this for us. On the other hand those who build web pages using
automatic development systems like Frontpage, Dreamweaver, Bespin,
Crimson Editor, Sourceforge, etc. often have only a 1 or 2 level, if
that, in understanding of html, and won't be able to do it.
-------------
The Radio
I have held up putting out this newsletter for a couple of days because I
wanted to give an updated radio report. Some good news just now came
in, and it is of such a nature that I am going to put out a special
newsletter about the radio. It will take me a day or two to write it.
Peace and love,

Greetings SAFE Team!
To all of you who have been in touch - THANK YOU!
No false promises here. Things ARE improving!
First, let me once again appeal to any of you who wish to fill the STL
positions that are still open for: Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Arizona,
California, and Montana. Please contact me so that we can fill those
spots and get your state up to speed.
|
To date, several other states have done a great job, and can assist you with great ideas and resources to get started.
Note to all STLs: when you appoint Assistants, please forward that data
to me at my email below AND our SAFE Database Mgr., Jonathan
at: bucolucas@gmail.com
OK, after watching a few more episodes of that "Prepper Show" it dawned
on me that, besides the sheer entertainment factor, the producers of
those shows are thrilled to promote the rugged individualism and self
centered idiosyncrasies that have come to be icons of the prepper
movement.
Great for ratings - very bad for actual survival! Who has the best
fortress? Who has the most food? Who has the most fire power? Who has
the purest
water. Who can last through the coming power outage? These are the most
exciting questions. Problem is, these are all the wrong questions!
The best answer to the above, is also probably the most disturbing to the general public, namely, who has the best network!
That's the SAFE mission. That's the best answer. That's a ratings problem. We are moving in the right direction.
Please remember to mention or link our website: http://www.webpal.org/
when emailing or otherwise communicating with friends or like minded
folks.
We've got so much info on there! Don't be surprised if you see a
Youtube video created by one of our state teams. This is the time to
find ways of best
serving our communities through SAFE networking. The solution that
really works!
Peace & Action,
Christopher Verreos
