Things Change So Fast
I Can't Keep Up With Them

Was studying cosmological theory
with four web pages open on my browser -
trying to determine when various opinions appeared.
A hundred years ago -
back in 1917
17 years before I was born
the 100" Mt. Wilson telescope was completed.
It was the biggest in astronomy -
for 31 years until the Palomar reflector was completed,
in 1948 fourteen years after I was born.
I remember sitting around a campfire
as my scoutmaster told how his astronomer son
was working to find a path to move the 200 inch mirror
to Palomar.
The Palomar telescope was then the world's largest
high quality optical telescope for over the next 40 years
of my life until the Hubble Space Telescope
was launched in 1990.
Amazing new telescopes are now under construction -
(that even permit space time travel)
but if you can imagine a lifetime of awe at -
the revelations that one discovery after another brought into place.
I'm still a bit short of the over 100 years my mother lived -
but when you stop and think -
that it is only four such lifetimes back to when
in c1610 Galileo was the first to observe that
the planets were disks and that there were craters on the moon.
For the millenia before Jesus and the centuries subsequent -
man's view of the moon, planets and universe had no basis for change.
Then in my lifetime -
totally different views, time and again,
regarding the microcosm and the macrocosm
in physics and astronomy.
Now, as I sat and pondered this tree -
there today completely unsolicited -
fell this apple upon my head.
There is no dark matter.
Leaving the cosmic realm for the moment -
there occurred on planet earth also this week
what may be the most earth shattering view
of the last decade.
To again go back abit in history -
when I was a boy -
even before the Palomar telescope was built -
a great earth shattering event took place
in the area of physics.
The first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima.
I heard about it on the radio -
and went screaming into the streets with the news.
The response then - as it will be now -
was: "Ho hum, hush boy."
One more was dropped on Nagasaki
and then the pledge was made by the US -
that it would never again be the first to use
what have now become nuclear weapons.
The US said - if anyone were to use one against them -
they had sufficient that the nation doing so
would be obliterated -
and therefore the world was safe -
through MAD - (Mutual Assured Destruction.)
That was until ten years ago -
when the world changed again -
and George Bush informed the world
that the US would make pre-emptive FIRST USE
of nuclear weapons - if anyone got sufficiently out of line.
That was ten years ago.
Now YESTERDAY - once again the world changed.
Again, I shall have to explain.
There has been a stated gospel position
by the diplomats of all countries -
(Russia, China, South Korea, Japan,
throughout Europe, and just everyone) -
that there is "No military solution to North Korea".
As I researched this I found that
Mad Dog Mattis the United States Secretary of Defense,
stated in May that any military solution to the North Korea crisis
would be "tragic on an unbelievable scale",
Then again he stated: “And of course, there's a military solution,”
but wanting to be “loud and clear,” that for now,
“we want to use diplomacy".
Apparently "that now has passed",
and yesterday - the US representative
to the UN stated -
that all UN options had been exhausted -
and that there was no UN solution.
To which MD Mattis added -
"There is a military solution."
THIS IS DIFFERENT.
Once again, as Bruce goes screaming into the streets,
the response will be, "Ho hum."
For most people -
the fact that there is no dark matter -
or that the US has changed its pre-emptive nuclear strike policy
for North Korea, to being "THERE IS A MILITARY SOLUTION",
which as Donald says can be:
"Fire and fury like the world has never seen."
But, no I don't think that Donald will bomb North Korea -
not that he wouldn't like to -
and send bombers over "The Rocket Man's borders"
(his new name for Kim, thank you John Elton).
But, President Trump has a meeting scheduled with President Xi -
in November.
When asked, the White House said NK is not on the agenda.
Nope, The Donald has much bigger issues.
The US Congress, Republicans, CIA, FBI,
Deep State, and Shadow Government
don't really like him -
not to say that he is a favorite
in Syria, Iran, or Venezuela.
There are lots of things that I don't understand
about the Deep State,
just like I never really understood what Dark Matter was,
and now I don't really understand why Dark Matter isn't.
A top CIA retiree this week lifted the veil on a lot
about the Deep State and how it has been used
not only to buy and control the MSM,
but also Google and the thoughts and perceptions of Americans,
including I don't know how much of mine.
Steve Bannon who was the White House chief strategist,
explained publically how the Deep State is out to get Trump,
but then on the other hand - MOST Trump appointees
are Deep State right hand men as they were heads of the big
Financial Institutions. You would think the Deep State would love him,
for that alone, and he certainly doesn't shrink from supporting
the military industrial state, nor the wars that are on his plate.
Like I have said - I do not understand these dark matters.
But moving on.
There is a time table for all this.
Probably a time table now far past -
as many thought that Trump would never be nominated.
If nominated that he would never be elected.
If elected that he would never serve.
If he served he would never last a hundred days
without being impeached or assassinated.
Sort of an extension of the statement by
American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman
during the Republican Presidential Convention of 1884,
when he said, "I will not accept if nominated
and will not serve if elected."
Nevertheless, here we are
a year after Donald was nominated and THIS WEEK another hurdle for him
was kicked on down the road.
A temporary US Budget has been approved
for 2 months until December 1st -
which is, so far as I know, the SHORTEST temporary budget
ever by far.
Fifteen years ago the Headlines were BOLD and LARGE
if there was no budget in March.
But that was then and this is now, and our concepts of all things change.
My daddy wouldn't understand traveling through an airport today,
or how police in the city look like like the military,
or the stopping of travelers to see their papers.
But BIGGER things are happening in the universe,
that I don't understand don't understand either.
In the sun and the moon and the stars.
In the weather, the hurricanes, and the earthquakes,
that I don't understand that I don't understand either.
In the cities and the unreported riots.
In the banks as to how much money you can withdraw.
In the news - which speaks not of things -
which once would have been giant headlines.
So much that I don't understand of how or what or why.
There is a big bank deal to happen Oct 1,
of a new EFTS (Electronic Fund Transfer System)
in which there will be no delay in deposits
(particularly between big banks -
and in International Trade)
that could send the velocity of money over the top.
No, I don't understand it.
I hope it will at least help Pay Pal to get my deposits
more quickly.
Lots of speculation the EFTS may collapse the whole system -
with the IMF Special Drawing Rights thing -
and China, Venezuela and others not any longer taking
US Petro Dollars,
(I think the latter is particularly in relationship to oil sales.)
We are talking in economic world the equivalent -
of someone dropping a nuclear weapon -
and weapon wars are just another phase of economic wars.

This is NOT NEARLY all scheduled for the next thirty days.
Israel has some BIG plans or at least contingencies.
The Ukraine thing is off the rails
. China and India want to cool it but there is Pakistan.
For Trump - that is all over there.
It is like you hearing about the Hurricane Alligators
in peoples homes in Florida,
when you are trying to sleep
and mosquito is buzzing around your ear.
You are not about to sleep or dream about alligators
when you have that tiny mosquito there.
Trumps mosquitoes are not tiny.
Here are his America First deadlines with the US Congress
for the next 11 days.
Sept. 30
When we will then have Obamacare or Trumpcare,
(if no-care is the same as Republican Healthcare)
and in the 8 legislative days remaining
also for the 20 year old Children's Health Insurance Program,
for about 9 million lower-income children
(I wonder if hospital administrators are making contingency plans -
because I am sure the children nor their parents can.)
But not to worry. You will probably never hear about it.
AND then in the same next eight legistlative days
the National Flood Insurance Program
with the great timing of -
here comes Category 5 Maria.
There is also the
Federal Aviation Administration
Air Traffic Controller thing
if they don't get authorization and paid.
I remember the Reagan solution -
but it is hard to believe that it will come to that.
Enough to keep a man up at night.
I don't know how Donald sleeps.
Amazing man.
I am up all night just writing about it.
It is hard to believe any of this can be resolved
in the next 11 days -
but I am fairly sure something will be done
in order to make way -
for the much more dramatic coming month of October.
And - as I write this:
HansNichols Verified account @HansNichols 15m15 minutes ago
Mattis confirms military options against N Korea that do not put Seoul at risk:
He said: "Yes there are are, but I will not go into details."
And Trump says - "I am not tipping my hand."
But whose hand is whose?
Is the Deep State the Hidden Hand?
Do Trump and the Deep State share the same hand?
What is show, propaganda, and manipulation?
Where and what and Whose is this dark matter?
For myself - it does not terribly matter.
For myself - it all rests in the Hand of God.
For myself - I am but an observer -
watching the heavens revolve and change
all in ways beyond my comprehension
but to ends that I trust to The Creator.
Many, many other things in the news
that a couple of years ago
would have made a newsletter -
but now I have no choice but to ignore them.
Faster and faster changes.
At Ark Two also.
We have had our last work weekend.
Very poor turnout this time,
although those who came got a lot done.
We will no longer send out a work newsletter.
Those who are working on projects know what they are
and will schedule their own time.
We had over 170 people come in the last two years -
and we sent out the work newsletter to all of them-
but we were now getting a poor response -
so two weeks ago we reduced the work newsletter to 50 of them.
After this last work weekend we are cutting down to
fifteen families who schedule their own time.
Too much effort on our part for those who don't really care.
Unexpected to me that as we get closer to the big event
and the more intense the events leading up to it -
that the fewer there would be
to come and participate.
There is so much that I don't understand.
Dark matter.
Dark days.
Spiritual darkness.
The world has been cloaked.
I suspect there are Klingons out there.
Please don't take me seriously,
if you don't understand Klingon cloaking.
No one has ever understood me before -
(even my own self)
and the shock might be too much
for an old man.
Beam me up Scotty.
I am obviously in the wrong fantasy set.
Unity and Love,
Bruce
