Convergence Cooling

Deintensifying of the the May 15th Convergence

President Trump said this week that his meeting with
Kim Jong Un, the leader of North Korea,
may be postponed to June.

No clear information or movement on the US Note -
has yet appeared.
This is probably the most important activity
that I feel is going on behind the scenes -
but I have no authentic source that I can report -
and probably would not understand it anyway.
It all focuses around our old nemesis -
the gold attack on the US Dollar.

The Hamas sponsored 16 week March
that began on the Jewish Passover
from the Gaza Strip
and to climax on May 15th in Jerusalem
which started off with a bang
is losing momentum
although casualties continue to mount.
That is not to say that the situation in Israel
is ameliorating -
because the very opposite is true.
For this reason I am devoting most of this issue
to the situation in Israel.
To avoid criticism that my presentations
are one-sided
first here is a link to a Palestinian Propaganda Video
that has supposedly been banned
because Israel does not want you to see it -
which obviously isn't true or didn't work -
because here it is.
I think the video entirely factual.
The problem is not the facts that it puts in -
but the facts that it leaves out -
and its interpretation of the facts.
Just a few examples -
although there are many more I could point out.
1.
When it points out how the patients are being
forced to move out of a hospital by the Israelis -
it doesn't explain that it is because the hospital
is being used by the Palestinians
to shield a large munitions dump,
and that the Israelis are not wanting to bomb the patients.
2.
It goes on at length about how terrible it is
that the Israelis shoot the rock throwers in their legs
or arrest them to serve prison sentences.
Would it not be worse if they shot to kill?
3.
They go on about how terrible it is for
the 20% of the population in Israel that is not Jewish -
but the fact is that there are
Muslim Mosques
Christian Churches
Baha'i Shrines
and other religions in Israel -
while no mention is made of how
Christians, Baha'is, Buddhists and others
are treated in Muslim Countries.
4.
They note how there are Israelis
that are very biased against the Muslims -
but takes no note of the many Israeli groups
that try to achieve unity with them.
(There are some - but very few -
Muslim groups that try to achieve unity with the Jews).
5.
There are pictures of the Devastation
of the Muslim Communities near the border
but no mention that when Israel permits import
of materials to rebuild -
that the materials are diverted instead
to tunnel building for attacking Israel.
In fairness one could hardly avoid the fact
that many Muslim countries and Muslims
have sworn that they will destroy Israel -
and that the number of missiles and other weapons
being stored just across from its borders
is reason for existential alarm.
In fairness one would wish to ask
the commentators in the video -
if they really wish to see
the continuation of Israel -
and how they would guarantee it?
To really understand Israel's problem
one needs to contemplate the following maps.
This is the best map (although a bit old)
of the Middle East Conflict area
that I have seen -
(although Saudi Arabia barely makes the bottom edge).

Examine the above map carefully
to see how both Lebanon and Syria
butt right up to the Israeli border
and for the thousands of rockets / missiles
that Hezbollah (say Iran) has stored
just over the border -
it is but a stone's throw into Israel.
This explains Israel's bombing of these missile sites -
and how the big news this week
of Russia unloading at the ports
new anti-Aircraft systems -
under the very heavy smoke cover -
has Israel very upset and responding
that they won't wait for them to be activated
but will take them out also.
The above - combined with the US Syria bombings -
has many people looking at the
Russian / US / Syria / Israel conflict
as being the worst to face the world in decades,
hence the two minutes until mid-night
and the tick-tock graphics on this page.
The following map
shows Israels problem
to its immediate South.
(The subject of the above video.)

And finally, this last collective map
shows how tiny Israel (in one place barely 20 miles wide)
is completely surrounded by Muslim Countries
of comparatively gigantic populations.
All that one can say is -
except that one on the Side of God
is a majority -
Israel has a serious problem.
Israel has another serious problem in that
today, most Jews in Israel (and elsewhere) are atheists -
or at the very most agnostics.

An extremely important event
has taken place in US Foreign Policy.
As you know - the position of this newsletter
has always been that the world nuclear conflict
will start between Pakistan and India -
two nuclear powers.
The US has always been the referee until now.
The policy decision has just been made -
that because the US has been unsuccessful
in bettering the situation -
that it is now just going to take
a hands-off attitude and not be involved anymore.
We will see how that works.

This past week at Ark Two,
has seen a massive snow and ice challenge -
except for the last two days -
during which we have been having
a marvelous melting. This last week
has also been one filled with trauma -
which will probably resolve itself
before the next newsletter
and I shall report it then.
Life goes on.
Or sometimes doesn't.
Unity and Love,
