Smoke Blowing In My Face
as a quote from an old song -
but the expression as generally used today -
while anatomically historically correct -
is not so refined.
The military has long used smoke generators
on the battlefield to conceal its maneuvers,
so this all just the modern electronic
social media version - I think.
As you are aware -
for the last several newsletters -
I have been maintaining a list of dates
for this month of October -
with expectations as to what was to occur
on those dates -
and then after the date -
reporting as to what happened.
Once again here is the list
and once again as always
To EMPHASIZE once again
these are NOT PROPHETIC expectations
but simply analysis
of scheduled events that have been
geopolitically determined.
(I concede that it is
my philosophical paradigm
based upon prophecies -
that leads me to search out these events -
and interpret them as I do.)
October has certainly started off calm.
The things that I thought would happen did -
but didn't have as much effect as I thought they would.
October 1,
was supposed to be without a US Budget -
and it was -
but the US Congress tempered the event
by kicking that can down the road
for two months -
which may now dramatically contribute -
to the other events as they occur.
October 1,
key countries were supposed to stop using
the US Petro Dollar.
If this has happened -
I am not seeing any news about it
like I thought I would.
The headlines are:
The Petrodollar Is Under Attack
and
Saudi Arabia and US Petrodollar System are Facing The End
But still, none of the deep dark events,
that I thought would occur by now,
have occured in any way I can tell,
as a result of that in this month.
October 10th
the anniversary date
for North Korea -
(formation of the Communist Party) -
passed as I suspected it would
with increased potential build-up for the 17th.
As part of that build up
NK moved missiles from its development site
and Russia's RIA news agency provided confirmatory sources
that North Korea is preparing for a new test
of a long-range missile.
Jimmy Carter offers to go to NK to talk with Kim.
October 11th
The USS Ronald Reagan did a replenishment at sea
and was now fully prepared for actual engagement -
combined with an exceptional demonstration of Air Power
and along with additional vessels from other nations
(Japanese, SK and other that joined it) -
rather than just the regularly scheduled
Operation Courageous Channel.
October 12th
The asteroid TC4 discovered in 2012
passed between the earth and moon
the closest of any asteroid in decades.
October 14th
President Trump refused to certify to Congress
Iran's compliance with Obama's nuclear deal
and now the US Congress
will have 60 days to re-impose sanctions on Iran.
Oct 17th
Was a date when many sceduled events occured. 1. North Korea has moved its missiles to its launch pads.
2. The International ETF banking system switched to
"immedate mode".
3. The IMF new basket of SDR that includes China and Russia,
took full effect after completing a delay from one year previously
from this appointed date.
4. These monetary factors combined with the derivative resolution
could have lead to the world's first monetary collapse
something that has happened eventually
for every national currency,
but so far as I can tell,
there have been no particular reverberations.
Oct 18th
the opening day of the 19th national congress
by China's Communist Party,
held significance in its speeches
as to the North Korean situation,
by not mentioning it at all.
Oct 19th
Michael D. Swain,
Seniour associate at the Carnegie Endowment
for International Peace in Washington, D.C.,
specializing in China related security topics tweeted:
"Heard from reliable colleague that senior Hill Republicans briefed by Mattis, McMaster, etc., Believe Trump will order limited (non-nuclear) strike on N.K." (19/10/2017, 13:560)
This has elsewhere been characterized as
a briefing in the Situation Room -
not used since the assassination of bin Laden.
The curious thing about this tweet is that Swaine apologized
and the tweet was removed from the Internet within two hours.
Oct 21st
Reports that Pres. Jimmy Carter has accepted appointment
by President Trump to be Ambassador to North Korea.
Speculation is that this has been to offset
the above accidental release of information.
Others say - "Nothing is ever accidental".
It is an intentional left-hand / right-hand ploy by
the Chief of Negotiators.
Ambassadors have to be confirmed by the US Senate,
but there is the possibility that he could act
in service to the President on a pro tem basis.
Oct 22nd
US Preparing to Put Nuclear Bombers Back on 24-Hour Alert
Something that has not happened for decades.
Oct 23rd
Just in.
I must leave this at rumour status
if I am going to get this out tonight.
US Air Force tripling JDAM, GBU-39B munition production.
In anticipation of needed replacement?
Rumor is that later today, Tillerson may be out.
All rumour and counter rumour - in the Fog (Smoke Screen of War).
I thought that the intensity of events like these
would affect
the stock market
the dollar
the media -
BUT the most curious of all things has occurred.
The media has gone totally silent about NK,
US troop movements and such.
Not just the media.
A major source of information for me
is the CIA publication FP -
from which the media gets its official information.
This is an expensive subscription publication -
and I of course only get the FREE version.
Nevertheless, in all the time I have take it
- there has been a hot spot column -
until just now -
especially giving a blow by blow account
regarding what Kim said to Trump -
and what Trump said to Kim.
Now for the last several days -
for the first time SUDDENLY -
NOT A SINGLE WORD.
All the media reports
is the sexual peccadilloes
of supposedly important people such as models,
(surely these are peccadilloes
as compared to the threat of nuclear world war)
of which there is nary a word mentioned.
Oct 31st
If the above is not scary enough -
Tuesday the 31st is Halloween.
Activity at Ark Two is Immense News crew here last week
Another coming tomorrow.
We had three tractors working here today (now yesterday)
and a goodly crew the day before.
Someone or something most every day.
BIG effort planned for Sunday the 29th.
You are welcome to come any day -
(Just let me know),
but if you would like to come and work
as part of the TEAM -
that would be great -
and again just let me know.
As we have for a long time -
we have hoped that someone would come
and stay with us permanently -
perhaps a couple -
so Jean could have some help.
But, perhaps it is now getting too late -
for that.
Unity and Love,
Bruce
