The Worsening World Condition

Planning on returning to the hospital.
Losing blood at about a liter per day.
Has happened in previous years
after same type of surgery
so not terribly panicked
but some family members are pressing.
I want to get this newsletter out today,
because I anticipate they may keep me for awhile.
I have had considerable time for over ten days
to read and listen to many points of view.
Some are optimistic.
This morning,I listened to a podcast,
by Scott Adams, the author and creator of Dilbert.
I subscribe to his column -
and find his remarks very often very insightful
regarding the temperament of the American public.
Scott is of the opinion that
Donald Trump, along with
Xi Jinping (the leader of China, whatever his title now),
Vladimir Putin, and
Kim Jong Un, the North Korean leader
are possibly on the verge of establishing themselves in history
as being among the greatest political leaders ever
by denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.
During hospital visits
I take with me a book by Steven Pinker,
whom I consider the world's foremost linguist,
and considered by many Americans
to be its foremost intellectual thinker.
To put it in the kindest possible words -
Steve thinks that anyone who thinks
nuclear WW3 possible,
suffers from a serious mental deficiency.
These are but two of several serious thinkers
whom I listen to very carefully,
who reside at this point on the spectrum
of future expectation.
I dissent of course from Adam's and Pinker's view,
and that of most every individual that I meet,
the latter for the most part
never considering the subject.
Scott feels that it is the uniqueness of the characters,
of the four mentioned leaders -
that offers the world its great opportunity
for peace.
I would point out -
that the last time we had such a quartet -
actually there were only three then -
Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt,
the world set the stage for the Cold War
that is concluding in what we have today.
THINGS ARE NOW MUCH WORSE!
And much worse this week -
as I shall point out.
Nuclear proliferation has reached the point -
that Kim Jong Un joins the current quartet -
and Scott made no mention of Pakistan -
which I consider the much greater threat
to world stability.
Scott felt that by settling the Korean issue,
others such as Iran, Turkey, Syria,
even Palestine / Israel would fall into line,
but all of those have a momentum of their own.
It is not just proliferation of nuclear weapons -
since the Yalta Conference -
nor the massive quantities of them
that have been since stockpiled -
but that since the end of WW2 -
the world has developed MUCH MORE destructive weapons,
and has recognized the role of EMP,
while the US has withdrawn from the SALT agreements,
proclaimed intended first usage of nuclear weapons,
and surrounded Russia with Missiles.
Russia for its part has THIS WEEK
announced a new "unstoppable" supersonic missile,
while it has become the practice
for almost every country to announce some
substantial technological advance -
with even Switzerland joining the chorus this week.
Weapons enough
to destroy the world many times over -
and although the US spends as much
as the rest of the world put together -
China is on the verge with its rapidly expanding economy,
of being able to match and surpass the US
in the years to come.
One might think that such matching powers -
would bring peace among equals -
but THIS WEEK under US pressure
a HUNDRED RUSSIAN DIPLOMATS -
were expelled from two dozen countries
throughout the world.
Russia assures that it will retaliate.
Such was the focus of events - THIS WEEK -
that Turkey assured Israel
that it would see its destruction -
and Hamas started THIS WEEK
on the date of Israel's most holy celebration -
a six week march of tens, perhaps hundreds,
of thousands -
to culminate on May 15th,
which is the 70th anniversary of the formation -
of Israel -
and the date Trump has said the US Embassy
will be activated in Jerusalem.
Gigantic celebration is planned for that date -
in Texas.
THIS MORNING already -
clashes and deaths are being reported along
the march route,
this first of 45 days.
Middle of the merry month of May -
is when the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un
is expected to sit down with
President Donald Trump.
This is what I refer to as the convergence of dates.
While the convergence of dates -
does not in itself provide the trigger
for Great Catastrophe
it does increase the probability.
The convergence this coming month
of the Focused Passage drill,
scheduled for April 16-20,
when the US evacuates its military families -
from the Korean peninsula occurring at the same time
as joint war games with the South,
may certainly strike Kim Jong Un
as being an interesting coincidence.
Trump statements about immediately withdrawing
from Syria and perhaps even Afghanistan -
prompts some analysts to think
that it is a matter of focusing forces,
for the upcoming discussions with Xi and Kim.
Others look at the pronouncements by Xi -
regarding the IMF and the Rembi.

It has always been the theme in this News Letter -
that the REAL wars are economic
and that the shooting wars are only symptomatic of them.
The real war at the moment is
Ascending China -
and
Declining US. The president of China
has said that he is about to do
a pre-emptive monetary strike -
the equivalent of a nuclear strike,
when he insists the IMF accept the Rembi -
and that all transactions be in gold -
replacing the paper petrodollar -
with which the US has dominated the world.
The possibility of a Monetary collapse in the US
is a reality.
We don't even know what that would look like -
but likely social collapse
just as in Venezuela and elsewhere.
This would most likely lead to the
greatest recession ever -
social unrest - et cetera -
and international repercussions
for supplying and maintaining the troops
throughout the world.
What this usually means is -
all out war.
Pakistan, Iran, Hungary, Syria,
satellites of the former USSR,
and others
are on the verge of it now.
Scott and Pinker do not see it this way,
but perhaps Trump does.
In the political debates
before his election -
he said it was the greatest threat.
I doubt much has happened to change his mind.
Admittedly,
Trump, Putin, Xi and Kim,
do not want war.
But, that is only one sphere -
and they are not in control.
God is in control.
But that is something Pinker and Scott -
would admantly deny.
Not much has happened since Yalta -
to decrease the world philosophy of greed -
nor the plunge into moral depravity.
As to whether that -
or any of this -
should concern you -
is your choice.

God willing I shall return.
There is no known reason
to be overly concerned about myself -
but there is much reason to be very concerned
about the world situation in the next 12 weeks. Unity and Love,

Who is Controlling Your Thought?

You are what you think.
Your thoughts are you.
The true you.
The essence.
A soul.

Are you a free thinker?
Are you even free to think?
That is the subject
that we will examine here.
Free thinker is often
an epithet thrown at others
by those who are not.
It is often a badge of pride
worn by those
who surprisingly are not either.
Since WW2 -
there has been a growing awareness
of how to control thought.
Initially it was called "brainwashing",
and thought to be applied mainly to individuals.
Complimenting those techniques
were the developing and practiced arts
of propaganda.
What really made these latter take off
was the explosion of electronic communication.
At first it was radio and television.
Later it became
MSM (Main Stream Media)
the Internet,
Entertainment Channels (Movies and Video),
Social Media,
the Cell phone,
and a number of "Intelligence Gathering Channels"
about which most people are entirely unaware.
If one is targeted
- almost their every thought is monitored -
and if it is desired -
can be analyzed and manipulated
beyond their own capability.
To set the tone -
for some subjects about which most are unaware -
please watch this seven minute video.
If in the course of this issue of this newsletter
you do not learn some astounding things
of which you were not aware -
then this newsletter is useless to you.
The power and tools for the control
of mass thought has been expanding exponentially.
You must understand the meaning of exponential.
It means that power and those tools
have increased ten fold in the last year
over what they were ten years ago,
during which period of time
they increased ten fold what they had been
a hundred years earlier.
More importantly, it means that the
power and tools of thought control
will increase IN THE NEXT YEAR -
ten times - yes, ten times -
over what you saw demonstrated in the above video.
The situation has become so serious -
that a new term has appeared in the literature.
This phenomenon is called the "infocalypse".
One associated phenomenom, largely unheard of a decade ago,
is "fake news".>
Thought largely to be the domain of
Twitter, FaceBook, and such,
it is actually the dominant stock in trade
of the MSM -
having the goal of preventing the public
of being aware of, or concerned about matters
that are extremely important.
From the above link:
"false stories outperform the truth on every subject—including business, terrorism and war, science and technology, and entertainment—fake news about politics regularly does best."
"—falsehoods were still 70 percent more likely to get retweeted than accurate news."
The point that I am making here -
is that the so called accurate news -
is still fake news.
It is MSM generated and promotede subjects
that have the purpose of keeping people
from thinking about what is important.
You of course heard about
the 17 students shot at Parkland School in Florida,
much about the shooter,
and the deputy that did not go in.
In the days to come
you are likely to hear about
the Spring Fever activities
as students shout and wave signs -
and find excuses to skip classes -
(although it will not be labeled in the way.)
Most people are less likely
to hear about Britain having expelled
23 Russian Diplomats
and still less likely about
Russia expelling diplomats in retaliation.
There are many other news items
that I would think of still more significance.
There are numbers of analysts who state that
things are the most critical they have been -
since the Cold War.
And yes, just today - there is a Deep State
connection between this and the Donald Trump
Russian probe.
While I am not saying I believe this -
or anything else.
DEBKAfile Special Report (March 16)
With the inquiry into the attempted murder of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal, 66 and his daughter, Yulia, 33, in Salisbury, producing new sensations, it was revealed on Saturday that the apparently retired former Russian spy, who for ten years passed secrets to British intelligence, continued to meet his "British handler" once a month at a Salisbury restaurant. The murder probe also sprang an American dimension. He was discovered to have been close to a consultant who worked with the firm of the former British spy Christopher Steele, who was named in the Mueller investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Steele was found to have built a damaging dossier against candidate Donald Trump out of materials provided by sources close to Hillary Clinton. It now appears that, far from dropping out of his former calling and living quietly in Salisbury, the former GRU colonel-turned-British spy continued to provide services to foreign intelligence services.
While the deaths from the Florida shooting were sad -
as well as the cummulative deaths from
other school shootings -
the total toll is nothing compared to
student drug overdose -
or even traffic deaths.
It is a matter of holding things in perspective.
If one is truly concerned about the death of children
then they should look at this 30 minute documentary.
Most of us have 10 fingers and 10 toes
so that they should be able to figure the difference -
as to which is the more significant -
school deaths or the legal murder of children.
The MSM simply determines
what will hold the public's attention -
and divert it from issues
that are truly life and death significant
such as the clock on this page.
It is a Three Ring Circus
"So now turn your attention to Ring Number One" -
the Ring Master says -
through his MSM megaphone:
as the the spotlight goes on -
on that ring and -
the rest of the rings go dark.
The Ring Master is of course
The Deep State
and its megaphone is
the the MSM (Main Stream Media}
If things become really serious -
the CIA may bring in the clowns
and stage a false flag -
or even the assassination of a president.
Donald well knows this and it is why
it is essential to him -
to move his people into those spots.
From one of the sources
listed on this page:
“And should those attempts work, and people come to suspect that there's no underlying reality to media artifacts of any kind, then we're in a really difficult place. It'll only take a couple of big hoaxes to really convince the public that nothing’s real.”
You may wonder
how the Deep State Controls the MSM.
Be assured the MSM has no idea that it is
controlled by the Deep State.
One simply has to be a true believer
or they will never get promoted.
It is like being a Catholic Cardinal.
To get that far one had no doubt about
the Catholic Church
versus Protestant Churches
or Islam.
One does not start out as the lowliest parish priest -
with any such doubts -
any more than one becomes a reporter
in any MSM American publication with any doubts
about America being the best - the greatest -
that there ever has been.
But the Deep State goals?
No reporter thinks themselves a Deep State pawn.
Most would think the Deep State a fiction.
It has just recently become an accepted term.
The DEEP STATE -
or more correctly -
A DEEP STATE -
exists in every country.
Its voice, decision makers,
at the top visible levels,
simply think it the normal state of affairs.
They recognize themselves as
fortunate and effective chosen ones -
who would not think of betraying its
policies or actions -
to the undeserving, incapable masses,
for whom they are the guardians and true benefactors.
This is true -
whether in
North Korea,
China,
Russia,
Great Britain,
the US -
or any other country.
The chosen media in the US -
proud of their position -
and importance -
in firms whose ownership has been traced back
(by those called the conspiracy theorists)
to the CIA -
are said to receive a fax at 4a.m. each morning
telling the day's talking points.
Here is a fun one. Only one minute long.
There are available -
MANY such examples.
The scary thing today -
is the new tools that are springing up.
All to multiply ten fold in the next year.
Comprehension of them is slowly leaking down.
The Deep State Powers of
Google, FaceBook, and YouTube -
are becoming acknowledged.
They decide who wins -
and who loses.
Not only in the market place -
but in the market place of ideas.
Analysis shows how they just now
quashed net equality.
Do you think that there is any chance -
that The Deep State -
TOTALLY control Congress -
no matter which side you are talking about?
The Deep State Powers
rule not only over commercial goods
but over elections, social movements,
and thought itself - both private and public.
In this day of Google News
when was the last time
that you heard, Mr. Rich,
of a Go To reporter that made it more
than three blocks down the streets
of Washington, D.C. before either
ending up dead or going to
Whistle Blower Prison?
Were you aware of the British couple
that were just awarded
3 Billion dollars.
(Yes - that is Billion - Three thousand Million)
from Google because Google stole their business.
Three much bigger lawsuits are in progress.
(Oracle etc.) So, there are battles among giants --
but do they really affect you and I?
So, how do you find the Truth?
Well, not in this illusionary world.
The deceivers themselves
are the most deceived -
because there are none so deceived -
as those who do realize they are deceived.
If the illusions of this world satisfy you -
then you may as well pop the blue pill -
relax and enjoy the ride.
Time and again -
I try to get the readers here
to seek the path to Truth.
Seldom am I successful.
There are undoubtedly many matrix memes -
from 1984 onwards,
with which you are familiar -
but yes, once again -
the reality is that what we see
is illusionary -
and once again -
I extend my offer to disclose the portals.
Few will accept.
Aside from the multitudes that are indifferent
(which is the unlikely case
for most of the readers of this newsletters)
almost everyone else falls to one of
two extremes -
and I know of no way to break anyone's veil -
although I never cease trying.
The two extreme veils
under which most everyone falls
is that they are followers of either
the False Prophet
or
the Anti-Christ.
Those under the influence of the first -
will deny the existence of either
- and those under the influence of the latter
are totally convinced
that they are followers of The True Christ -
and that it is actual followers of Christ
that have fallen short.
The more convinced of both categories -
Followers of the False Prophet
and
Followers of the Anti-Christ
are so convinced of the rightness
of their positions -
that they both describe those of the other camp
as being dumb, stupid, evil -
and this is one of the first and foremost indicators
that you are talking to adherents of
one of those camps.
In all the confusion
one may well be inclined to just give up.
One of the sources quoted above speaks of:
“reality apathy”:
where:
"Beset by a torrent of constant misinformation, people simply start to give up."
People begin to say:
"What difference does the reality make, anyway."
For those who have reached that point:
I have no response.

The Coming Week at Ark Two This may be the last newsletter
for a while - (or not inconceivably) even ever.
which is the reason I have gone "ALL OUT"
with "the Message" -
although I realize it irritates many -
when I do.
For any whom the Message "reaches",
DO CONTACT ME -
and God Willing -
we will have the opportunity -
to introduce you to The Path.
I am scheduled for surgery on Wednesday.
It has suddenly been moved up
from the earlier announced
end of the month.
This is is the fourth repeat
of this surgery.
There is a spectrum of opinion
as to how serious it is.
The doctor just pointed on the screen
a half dozen places where he said:
"I am going to take this and this and this."
He just sort of grunted -
to the optimistic prognosis
that I tried to provide,
but gave me no further explanation
or expectation of consequences.
It was the pre-surgery nurse -
who said to me that, "He is taking it all",
and indicated that I would probably
be in the hospital for a while -
and sometime in recovering.
My alternate plan is -
"Trust in God",
and
we shall see.

Nevertheless,
being of a practical nature (me?)
I have arranged for a burial plot
for Jean and myself (and final arrangements).
I have gotten all four sets of taxes filed -
something I sometimes get years behind on -
and I got my daughter for the first time
to do the actual signing and filing
on the corporation -
so that there will be continuity,
should that prove necessary.
I have given my daughter
access to the bank account -
made sure all the bills were paid and current -
as I can - except for property taxes
which are always my bete noire.
Numerous family and friends
are marshalling resources
to look after Jean -
during my absence.
This may all sound very pessimistic -
but my actual plan is -
OPTIMISM!
Hopefully, you will hear from me -
in a week or two.
Unity and Love,
Bruce

Storms Rage - Elsewhere

This was what has become an ordinary week
for the world.
Bombs fall.
People die.
Refugees suffer terribly.
Unfortunately, it has become so ordinary
that it is not news,
so I will report no details here -
as none would remember them anyway.

I spent hours reading lengthy
studies, reports, speculations, by
generals, diplomats, think tanks, and numerous others
explaining why the world is in a worsening crisis -
that there is no way out of.
Again -
hardly news.
We just don't know when.
Some think sooner than others.
I don't know any today who think never.
Varying opinions also as to what and how.
It has all been endlessly reported and debated.
Although the discussion increases in volume
both in quantity and tone -
while most think near -
there are really none to dispute - nearer.

This Last Week at Ark Two Winter appears to have broken,
although it is quite usual for us to get
large brief (4 or 5 day) giant snow storms
as late as April.
Was great this last weekend to have
a large crew get out and work on the shelter.
They got the wooden stairway lowered down
over the cliff
and properly leveled.
Lots more work to do on that -
but definitely a step in the right direction -
and that is a wonderful pun.
On sadder side - across the street -
today giant backhoe taking down John's house
from the fire two weeks ago.
One fire that I am fighting here
is my computer -
but I have had to just give up on it
until Fred or Andrew come by to fix it.
If I continue to do more on it -
it will reach a point no one can fix it.
All software problem as far as I can tell.
I will be away all day Thursday -
for presurgery.
Surgery scheduled end of month.
Everything has its timing -
but not that we are meant to understand it.
Back to the brighter side.
Another big crew scheduled for this Sunday.
I stand in awe about things.
But I have no idea,
as to how everything is working out -
towards what.
Biggest issue here is Andrew getting the software working -
so that I can continue on the LERN program.
Not that it would do any good tomorrow.
I am swamped with Corporate tax things
that have to be done before I go to the hospital.
Unity and Love,
Bruce
