Need More Be Said?
Traditionally in Christianity there is the idea
that Gabriel will blow a trumpet on the Last Day.
This was portrayed in the 1945 movie
"The Horn Blows At Midnight"
by Jack Benny who considered it his greatest failure.
Even then the idea was not popular.
Nevertheless, the idea has continued to be expressed
by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
in the Doomsday Clock which appears on their cover.
The last time the clock was so close to midnight was in 1953,
when the US and the Soviet Union were engaged in a nuclear arms race.
Nothing like that going on now. (sarcasm).
Last week the clock was set to
Two Minutes Before Midnight -
as close as it has ever been -
but IMHO not close enough.
It should have been moved at least
to a minute more forward, or less.
Still - the REALITY has been greeted by the general public -
with grand indifference -
although there was some excitement
about the False Alarm in Hawaii -
that was INTENTIONALLY (although erroneously) sounded.
The great concern about the False Alarm -
is that it took 38 minutes to correct it.
That is including the time it took to determine
that it had been erroneously sent. Among all the procedures -
there was really no procedure for correcting a false alarm.
People were particularly angered that Trump
(who was on the golf course)
didn't promptly tweet that all was okay.
Trump probably never heard about it -
until a considerable time afterward -
like everyone else elsewhere.
There is really no procedure in place
to tell the president that a false alarm has been sounded,
somewhere.
When the president is alerted by an alarm -
there are all sorts of procedures -
to try to determine whether it is false or not.
It is all a part of the reason why
that the alarm system is NONSENSE.
When a launch is detected by some military service person -
at some console somewhere -
they don't immediately ring up the president -
no matter where he may be.
How many levels of command
do you suppose it may go through
before someone rings the president's phone
in the middle of the night?
How many person's will have said -
"Are you sure?"
"How has this been verified?"
AND don't you suppose the president will say
the same thing?
Or do you think he we will just wake up out of his sleep -
and IMMEDIATELY say-
"Press the RED BUTTON" -
(and tell everyone we are under attack).
All of that is nonsense.
It would take more than twenty-minutes,
no matter what hole he was on -
on the golf course,
or in the bathroom.
In actuality the 20 minutes time from launch -
is not realistic.
The first launch would most likely come from
an off-the-coast submarine -
and it would only be three or four minutes to impact.
THERE WILL BE NO WARNING!
And even after it impacts
you may never hear about it.
Information and communication systems
will have broken down.
If there is an EMP -
the most likely first action -
all you will know is that your power is off -
and not why.
No noise, no mushroom clouds, nothing -
if you are not close enough to hear them.
But in Hawaii -
they were running in the streets.
I saw videos of dead out running
by hundreds of people.
Where were they going?
Many went and got in their bathtub.
I kid you not.
So - what should you do?
Shane's The Good News About Nuclear Destruction
is always gives good advice -
but mine right now -
is to start RIGHT NOW learning how to
Reconstruct AFTER Nuclear World War Three
by learning about LERNs.
THAT is your best survival option.
My first suggestions, rules for survival are of course:
#1 Get out of the cities
and away from large bodies of water. #2 Get out of the cities
and away from large bodies of water.
#3 Get out of the cities
and away from large bodies of water.
Okay, so many will find the news so far
to be entertaining -
but totally unimportant.
Many REALLY IMPORTANT things DID happened
THIS WEEK. One of the REALLY IMPORTANT things was the
US NPR Nuclear Posture Review
in which the US told the Russians
how the US would respond to any nuclear usage -
AND IN FACT -
that the US would be the first to use nuclear -
should it deem it necessary to do so.
One of the new things in the new NPR -
is that US is going to make some tiny nuclear weapons -
about the size that they used on Hiroshima -
that they will now use occasionally hither or thither -
(as they feel necessary)
without the intention of starting a nuclear war.
China and Russia
had some pointed responses.
This week Henry Kissinger
(if you are too young that you don't remember
who he is -
that is okay - because he is just an old guy
in his 90s -
that doesn't make decisions anymore) -
but anyway THIS WEEK Henry said --
a “pre-emptive attack” against North Korea is a “strong” possibility
which you can also check out here.
So much for running in Hawaii.
Another non-decision making guy -
(in keeping with all the recent
past presidents and vice presidents -
back to Carter)
Joe Biden - stated this week - Pakistan is Fifty Times MORE Important than Afghanistan.
Once again - here is an interesting map to study.
Line of Control
Where WW3 will Begin
according to the prophecy
of one paradigm
The intensity of world affairs
continues on many fronts. Here is another little memo from Henry,
this week:
"Compounding this [current threats]
is the pace of technological development
whose extraordinary progress threatens to outstrip
our strategic and moral imagination
and makes the strategic equation tenuous unless
major efforts are made to sustain it,"
Kissinger said.
As an example of this:
The US Government has talked for many years
about developing a rail gun.
If you don't know what that means -
it is too long (a little pun) to explain today.
Here is a picture from January 31st -
of a Chinese ship headed out to sea -
that when the drapes were removed -
it had a rail gun mounted.
Even more exotic weapons in development
both by the US and others.
Laser weapons and electromagnetic weapons.
Require no carrying of ammunition.
Anyway, you can look at the picture yourself.
Coincidently, and as a divergence -
The SpaceX Falcon Heavy brand new rocket
is set to launch for the first time ever
on February 6,
having the capability of carrying the
heaviest space load ever.
The Memo For the last few weeks
I have been going on about
THE MEMO
Well, there it is.
You can read it for yourself -
and hundreds of commentaries on the web.
The commentaries fall into one of two categories.
If they are on the Democrat side it is:
"Trump was plotting with the Russians to take over America."
If they are on the Republican side it is:
"It is an evil plot by the Democrats to get rid of Trump."
I just read the commentary -
to decide which side it is by -
and have been invariably right when I have looked.
You know my position.
It is all a Deep State thing.
This Week's Convergence.
February 8th South Korea
first day of the Olympic
North Korea
Military Demonstration
Pyongyang on Tuesday announced that the first day of the Olympics,
will be a national holiday celebrating its army,
carrying the prospect of a high-profile demonstration
and a tacit threat as the world assembles for the games.
The CIA will be watching.
US Government shutdown because of Budget.
Don't be mislead by the headline.
Oh, never mind nothing to keep one awake at night.
I have much worse budgetary problems -
and I can't print money.
Much confrontation in Turkey -
a Russian plane shot down yesterday
in Syria -
with Israel about Jerusalem -
it is killing to be a Kurd -- literally, -
just like so much
so many places elsewhere.
But if you are only going to look at one video
please look at:
THIS ONE
or THIS ONE
I wish I could spend a whole newsletter talking about
The Last Mile
Endless amount of interests -
very limited amounts of time.
This Week at Ark Two Yep, the German video crew came,
for three days.
Drone and all.
This is the third day
for the fifteen member film crew
that is supposed to complete this evening
in heavy falling snow -
and 45Kmh winds.
Nothing inside the shelter of course
makes one aware of this
and even their supper is being served there.
Sometime near midnight - when they wrap -
if the highways are closed by the wind
they may have to stay overnight again -
at the hall.
This has been an intense week -
with four straight days of Internet and Email
failure.
The last two weeks and the week to come
have been medically intense weeks also
with trips to doctors and emergency.
Fortunately there have usually been drivers available.
An appointment to see a neurologist
that it had taken six months to arrange
went strangely.
There turned out to be nine neurologists
in the clinic which turned out to be a
Pain Reduction Clinic.
I told the the young neurologist -
who was about as young and beautiful
as my great granddaughter
that this was all so totally unfair.
She asked, "How so?"
I replied,
"Because all these people out there are
in serious pain and wanting some medicine
to help them -
and I am in Zero Pain and don't want any medicine."
"Why are you here then?", she asked.
"Because I want to know the prognosis of my Parkinson's",
I replied.
"You don't have Parkinsons", she said.
I thought that went well.
I had almost cancelled,
but now I was glad that I hadn't.
LOTS more help needed with Ark Two -
but all those here know how much we get -
which is far beyond anyone else.
Unity and Love,
Bruce
