A Storm Cometh

And I refer not to Irma.
Although maybe that too.
So, no one was really bothered by
North Korea firing a missile over the top of Korea.
They shouldn't be bothered either
by North Korea testing its Hydrogen nuclear bomb.
We were expecting that -
but not that soon.
Kim picked September 2nd, -
the date that WW2 ended to set off his Hydrogen Bomb.
I had said that I expected him to do it September 9th.
Now, I wonder if he has something else planned for that day?
Things happening faster than expected.
So - what is Trump going to do about the nuke test?
Nothing.
Works this way.
Putin says: "They shouldn't have done it."
UN says: "They shouldn't have done it."
Xi says: "I agree."
U.S. Defence Secretary Jim Mattis
said outside the White House
after meeting Trump and his national security team.
"Any threat to the United States or its territories,
including Guam or our allies,
will be met with a massive military response,
a response both effective and overwhelming."
So, Kim says, there is my threat.
A triple MIRVED missile that I can put
3 miniaturized 50Kt Hydrogen nuclear bombs on.
What are you going to about it?
Ok, says the US - hours after your
over Japan stunt
we sent an Ohio Class sub your way
to join the rest we already have there.
Each sub has 24 missiles.
Each missile carries 8 MIRVed war heads - not just three.
Each warhead head is 100kt not just 50.
So - what do you think of that Kim?
Kim: Sort of a waste of time,
isn't it?
Everyone of those has a range of 4,600 miles.
You could have just as well have waved those at me
from over there.
Also those five bombing runs that you did last week,
with dummy nuclear warheads,
from Guam to our border?
Were those supposed to scare me?
Well, they did.
So, Donald, here is my response to your saying -
"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States.
They will be met with fire and fury
like the world has never seen."
Your turn at the tee, Donald.
So, what are you going to do?
Donald: "I'll tweet, tweet, tweet".
"American Amphibious assault ship USS Wasp (LHD 1) departed from the United States today, heading for @Japan."
Putin: Couldn't agree more, Don.
Xi: Yep, go for it, Vlad and I will stand back and watch.
"But - uhh- what about Iran?"
Donald: "What does Iran have to do with this?"
Xi: "If you nuke Kim, Iran will nuke you?"
Donald: Iran doesn't have nukes.
Putin: In your dreams.
Donald: It would take them weeks, months to assemble them.
Putin: 24 hours.
Donald: "What?"
Putin: "Mutual defense pact with Pakistan.
They call it the Paki-Pact.
Tests of mounting on their missile done in NK.
Their satellite missile can put it anywhere in the world.
Nuke already bought and paid for.
Just sitting there in its shipping container
waiting to load on plane and send to Iran.
Trump Towers is the Target.
Goodbye NY - hello EMP Eastern seaboard USA."
Sort of like tag wrestling, Donald.
You don't even have to be in the ring.
You understand that!
You slap NK.
NK slaps Iran.
Iran slaps Pakistan.
Pakistan slaps Turkey.
Turkey slaps Russia.
Russia slaps you.
Trump: "Barron, it is time that you and your momma
to scoot off to the golf club."
Putin: Yep, and it isn't helping anything,
that Netanyahu keeps showing up here
and mouthing off that if we don't take care
of Iran - that he will.
Donald: I know, we keep having the same problem with him here -
and by law
I have to get the decision of Congress on the Iran Treaty -
next month.
-October, when the US must next certify that Iran is sticking to the deal.
The JCPOA
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known as the JCPOA, was an international agreement hammered out over 20 arduous months of negotiations. China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK, the US, the EU and Iran reached a deal in July 2015 and it was implemented in January 2016. The UN's International Atomic Energy Agency has regular access to nuclear sites inside Iran and verifies that it is implementing its side of the deal; in exchange, the US, UN and EU lifted nuclear related sanctions. Every 90 days, the US president must certify that Iran is keeping up its end of the deal.
Last week Iran rejected US call for UN nuclear watchdog to inspect more sites.
Putin: People just don't seem to trust us.
Even I don't trust us.
US orders closure by Sept. 2 of #Russia consulate in San Francisco and shrinking diplomatic presence in Washington, DC and NYC.
XI: Me neither.
Here four days ago I was declaring a truce with India and now --
China to strengthen patrolling in Doklam area, says MND (China Ministry of National Defense)
The statement, which was made by MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Ren Guoqiang during a 31 August press briefing, came just a few days after Beijing said that India had withdrawn its troops from the border area, thereby ending a two-month-long military stand-off with China.
UPCOMING
Sept 11-12
predicted as reaction date in Armstrong model.
Sept 14
Zapad 2017 starts
Sept 30
US Budget ends
There are some who think a Great Conspiracy is underway. The goal - to get rid of Trump and restore ALL Power to Shadow Government to set up Global System.
Oct 1
Here is how it works.
Trump won't have a budget.
Not even a temporary one like president's in the past.
Things rocky with:
North Korea
Russia Zapad / Ukraine / Poland
Syria / Israel / Iran
Neither side of Congress will do anything for him.
The Democrats -
nor the Republicans.
Can't pass any bills.
Can't handle Obamacare.
The wall is long stalled.
Can't reply to Iran one way or the other.
No US budget.
Effective SDR (Special Drawing Rights) for China at the IMF -
kicks in for the first time in October.
LIBOR raises its ugly head.
Has been years in coming.
US can't pay troops in Afghanistan.
US economy stops.
Social collapse.
Usual solution - create a war, divert attention,
declare martial law, whatever necessary - and plow ahead.
Plotters expect a short nuclear war. Short yes.
How destructive - they miscalculate.
Nuclear WW3 - about 3 days.
When - no idea.
Sometime after Oct 1.
Weeks.
Not years.
I have been wrong before,
but never have so many pieces been in place before.
I never believed things could be this bad.
So great military destruction capability.
So many nations so angry at each other.
So much greed and immorality in the world.
None agree with me or I would find more to help
make final preps at Ark Two.
Never say wouldn't like more time.
If knew it was tomorrow for sure - still have more to do.

This just in before sending: (Vatican Radio) Russia has summoned a top United States diplomat in Moscow to protest against a search by American officials of a Russian trade mission building in Washington. The protest came amid the worst tensions since the Cold War
Russia has promised to reciprocate for what it calls "gross violations."
Moscow last month ordered the United States to cut its diplomatic and technical staff in Russia by more than half, to 455 people to match the number of Russian diplomats in the United States. That was in retaliation for a decision by the U.S. Congress to overwhelmingly approve new sanctions against Russia over its alleged meddling in the recent presidential election.
Tit for tat.
Tat for tit.
One thing effects another - so quickly, that the only way to keep up with it is to watch the
minute to minute news from North Korea.

Houston - We Have a Problem

South Korea has moved self-propelled howitzers nearer to the DMZ.
South Korea Military executed five public simulated Assassination Attempts on NK Leader Kim Jong Un
(I know - "public simulated" - crazy - but I don't make these things up.)
Japan and others made some very intolerant replies about the missile having been shot over them.
However the Trumpet didn't sound.
Simply said - "Everything is on the table."
The ballistic-missile submarine USS Kentucky departed Dutch Harbor, Alaska, after a brief stop for provisions.
@PacificSubs @PacificCommand
China silent.
Has called sudden truce with India -
regarding their long going border dispute.
Several countries report higher military alert.
Russian diplomatic response: "This is very serious."
Vladimir Putin ordered 1,500 citizens to leave the area on North Korea's border
Russia and the hermit state share a 24-mile long international frontier by a river
The Russian Ministry of Emergencies warned citizens to leave the area
The U.N. Security Council met shortly on Tuesday to discuss North Korea’s latest ballistic missile launch -
usual condemnation of NK.
You see almost NOTHING about NK Missile in US MSM.
Not the case in Asia and elsewhere.
If it were not for Houston the headlines would be immense -
and the discussion intense.
Compare this to what occurred
with previous comparatively insignificant launches
by NK. You would have thought the world was about to end.
Donald on the scene in Houston.
Less than 20 lives reported lost there so far.
A NK response to a Trump response in NK -
could mean millions dead in Seoul.
Scary to some - maybe Kim -
that Trump has not responded about missile.
Current News
Here is North Korea news by the minute as it happens
(Will be different and changing when you look at it)
In last five minutes says:
Tensions easing - World markets not affected.
In last ten minutes says:
Japan, South Korea seek stronger UN resolution against North Korea
In last thirty minutes says:
Moon (president SK) names new ambassadors to US, China and Japan
In last hour says:
Abe (Japan PM), Moon to push for new UNSC sanctions resolution against North Korea
In last hour says:
UK's May (PM) In Japan Says China Must Pressure North Korea On Missiles
In last hour says:
Kim Jong Un says more missile launches coming
NOW - This just in: NORTH KOREA WARNS GUAM IS NEXT TARGET
UPCOMING
No telling about upcoming but -
August 31st,
( Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise started on Aug. 21 and scheduled to end tomorrow – Aug. 31.)
Sept 9th,
North Korea’s founding date,
the day Kim Jong Un last year did nuclear test (and other years other tests)
Nuclear test preparations reported underway for the last month.
Trump said - "Don't"
Sept 11-12

What North Korea Can Do

 

Designed by Soviet Union

What North Korea Can Do

Basically, what North Korea can do -
is start nuclear World War Three.
Saying that does not mean that I think that
nuclear World War Three will be started by NK.
All regular readers here know that I think
nuclear World War Three will be started by Pakistan,
that we first have some significant events to occur
from the Deep State against Donald Trump,
with the US Budget, end of September,
contributing to what will be US social racial crises,
world financial turmoil between new China Drawing Rights,
and Trillions of Dollars of unsettled LIBOR liabilities -
with things heating up between China and India,
Ukraine and Russia,
and the BIGGIE the nuclear LOC (Line of Control)
between Pakistan and India.
World financial problems end up in
world geopolitical war problems.
BUT, most no one believes any of that -
because if they did,
I would be getting a LOT more help at Ark Two.
Most people will prefer to just ignore what follows -
and go back to sleep.
The usual phrase, until late -
regarding war threats
has been around some sort of axis.
Well, yes - there is a little ole axis here.
Pakistan, Iran, North Korea.
All three are nuclear powers.
What!
Pakistan is the fatherland of covert nukes,
(although there is no doubt that Israel had them first -
whatever you think of plausible deniability).
Pakistan has a mutual defense treaty with Iran -
(the latter assuring the US that it can restart
its super centrifuges within 21 days -
should the US make sufficiently unpleasant
sanction noises.)
There is suspicion and evidence,
although no incontrovertible positive public evidence
that Iran has in the past done nuclear weapon tests.
They were definitely a leader among that triumvirate
regarding missile delivery capability -
being first to launch satellites - and all that -
while attending NK nuclear tests.
Coincidently, Pakistan not only guarantees
delivery of nukes to Iran
but also to Saudi Arabia -
all supposedly bought and paid for -
stocked and stored in Pakistan -
just awaiting request for delivery.
More importantly, there are also nukes
stored in Pakistan,
ready for delivery on a moment’s notice -
to India -
(although in a different manner)
but that is another story -
and perhaps the more important one -
come the day -
but not today's subject.
So, we have the proclaimed axis -
(well, proclaimed by myself at least)
of Pakistan, Iran, and NK -
with Pakistan bringing nuke technology,
Iran bringing missile technology,
and what does NK bring?
Well, very importantly - testing,
and diversion from the others -
plus also some very important rare metals.
Together it all goes together -
quite well -
while big brothers, China and Russia,
provide a shield for the overall activity.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch -
on the other side -
a lot of huff, puff, and confusion -
by the world's greatest military power -
with over a hunderd and seventy military bases
throughout the world -
(the rest of all the above named -
Russia, China, Pakistan, Iran, North Korea -
having less than a dozen between them)
and like any Imperialist World Power -
thinking that it should be the ONLY one
with nukes.
(Afterall, we did invent them -
and have been the only one to use them -
in war -
and that was really only dinky little atomic bombs).
But, we did get a promise from the country
that we used them against (Japan)
that they would never build one -
or go to war again -
but an idea is now being bandied about
that maybe that wasn't a good idea
and that they should have them
to keep NK and China in its place -
especially with all the disturbance going on -
about China Island building and sea lane claiming
in Japanese territory -
and surprise, surprise, estimates are given
that Japan could put together a nuke in
just 21 days (that 21 days again)
with all the extra nuclear material
that we have been letting them keep.
Wonderful how our allies
are supposed to do in days
what it is supposed to take
our enemies years to accomplish.
But no mind that.
Everyone can see -
how much safer the world will be
if we have more nuclear powers -
especially threatening NK and China.
All getting too confusing.
Some suggest to simply simplify the matter
and have Donald do a double dump -
on the offending party - namely NK.
The only problem being that we
(meaning SK) will take millions of casualties
in about the first twenty minutes afterwards.
But that is SK -
and their own fault -
for living so close to NK -
and whoever started that problem
in the first place?
No need to go there.
But, okay,
What could NK really do to us anyway?
Well, it turns out quite a lot.
Now, we know that they couldn't really
have done anything,
if they hadn't stolen the plans and technology
from us in the first place -
or that it hadn't been given to them
by some treasoness past president -
but all that is past -
and we know that it would take them
years and years to put together something
that could do us real damage.
Look at those silly little nuclear tests
they have been doing -
nothing like the power that we demonstrated
down in the Bikini Islands.
What is that you say?
Their tests have a different radioactive signature?
So what?
Hmmm. Not meant to give a high yield -
just lots and lots of EMP from up on high.
Okay, THAT might be a problem -
if they were to turn off all the electricity
in North America -
permanently (or at least for decades).
Let’s get serious.
That impoverished little country
where everyone is starving to death -
and they don't have any freedom
of religion, or the Internet or nothing -
and they are run by a crazy insane leader -
with a terrible haircut -
who just hates us because we have
all the freedom and good stuff - -
you don't think they would really have
the capability of attacking us?
Nah! No one believes that.
Or not.
Seems like they have been practicing.
So yesterday they sent this one hunking big missile
this direction.
Didn't shoot it towards Guam -
as they promised China that they wouldn't do.
Aimed it right at the US -
although they dumped it in the sea -
before it got that far.
Up there and traveling along -
it could have just as well gone all the way.
Made the Japanese duck and cover, anyway.
Then it "broke up" into three parts.
Shows they can't match good old American technology.
What?
You say that is called MIRVing -
(Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles) and it was
intentional!
I assure you that MSM will dispute
anything I write here -
and it takes months if not years
for Truth to come out - if it ever does.
Well, anyhow this latest NK missile launch
must have been just luck.
They can't have many of those.
No kidding? The fat kid showed a picture
of himself in a tunnel -
with one backed up behind the other -
behind the other -
behind the other, etc. and more in the factory
as far as we could count.
A moment's silence here.
Hmmmm.
--- Donald! Do something!
(Will be the cry).
We will never know -
because the Trump doctrine is -
"Never tell anyone your plans"
and
"Not to worry - we have this one solved".
(You think?)
Here's a thought.
Our biggest practice war game ever
with South Korea - is going to end Thursday.
( Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise started on Aug. 21
and scheduled to continue through – Aug. 31.)
Afterwards - everyone go home
and get a good night's sleep -
and stay away from the girls.
Then back here in the morning. -
fresh uniforms - get all suited up
and ready for The Big Game.
Nah- I don't believe any of that is true.
Well, -- all the facts above -
so far as I know are true -
Lots of confusion about the nuke
and missile facts.
Most every fact now held -
from the last two years -
has been contradicted -
and then reconfirmed.
Choose your own:
Wikipedia NK Missile Tests
Wikipedia NK Nuclear Tests
Back two years ago,
if you remember the MSM,
it was held that:
That NK nuke tests were insignificantly small
That NK did not have warhead miniaturization technology
That NK couldn't launch SLBM
That NK did not have MIRV capabilities
That NK did not have sufficient nuclear material
That NK did not have mass production capability
That NK missile range was inadequate
All of this has IMHO been proven
very substantially wrong -
although you can still find MSM repeating
these supposed facts,
but it is more likely true that NK can
now reach the US anytime that it wants
with a high altitude EMP burst -
from either an ICBM or SLBM
(Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile).
I also think most of what is reported
about NK society and attitudes is wrong.
I don't think they are picking up
any starving bodies from the streets -
and everyone is working -
not exactly with a gun and whip to their back -
and lots and lots of people there
really do love Big Brother -
and he IS their religion.
They can understand why he doesn't want them
watching US Internet, movies, magazines or books -
because he has let them see enough to know
how decadent it is.
So staying on the straight path
and everyone working as hard as they can -
they can really turn out a lot of missile / nuke stuff
when they aren't having to make a car for everyone -
and they plan one day -
when they get this all settled with the help of their
Chinese, Russian, Iranian, Pakistani friends that
then they can build a new world that is safe for Communism.
Such is their plan.
"They plot and plan,
and Allah too plans;
but the best of planners is Allah."

Shortest Newsletter Ever

Just so much going on at Ark Two.
More about that later.
Well, the eclipse
on Monday August 21st,
came and went
without any immediate dire events,
discounting a massive hurricane,
which may have fizzled also.
NK launched a couple of missiles
but those seem to have fizzled also.
The big US/SK war games
seem to be going on peacefully
New Moon or no
which seems sort of an oxymoron
to say that they are peaceful war games.
We are closer to Zapad 2017 which is scheduled for
14—20 September 2017 -
now a little over a couple of weeks away.
Chinese skirmishes with India continue
but there are also weather problems
and flooding in that part of the world.
CNBC had this to say about my favorite subject:
“Trump just cranked up the rivalry between two nuclear giants. ... Trump's Monday night comments on Pakistan and India could worsen ties between the two rivals. The leader should be seeking to unite the South Asian giants, not encouraging divides, experts said.”
Probably the biggest geopolitical war news this week
was what Netanyahu had to say to Putin read and comprehend it for yourself.

---

What I considered the BIGGEST news last week was LIBOR.
I don't think anything has surpassed it
Still hoping for explanations from others!
Please explain it to me.
Less than Forty days (it may rain that long in Houston)
until September 30th -
and the axe falls on the US Budget.
Could be related to the above (not the rain on the plain).

Happening NOW at Ark Two Michael tells me BIG WORK WEEKEND
is scheduled for Sept 16-18.
A little early yet to get a weather forecast,
but probably last good camping weekend.
Do make plans now.
Several visitors this week -
and some good help.
Really putting a drag on getting the LERN courses done -
but have made some good progress in that area also.
Do go AND GET STARTED
if you haven't already.

Monday Makes Many Mumble

I don't know whether the eclipse
on Monday August 21st,
is effecting people
but many are expecting (or perhaps I should say fearing)
dire events.
Some think Kim has abandoned
NK's launch of two missiles
to land 30 and 40 miles from Guam.
The statement was that he would not do it -
if the US would quit threatening NK.
The most threatening thing to him at the moment
are the US/SK war games.
The biggest ever undertaken with SK
scheduled to start Monday the 21st-
with participating other countries
and bombers from Guam.
The games are underway.
As the saying is:
It is already tomorrow in Australia -
so I suspect they have begun.
Actually began days, weeks ago -
in the planning / administrative activities -
and even positioning of supplies and troops.

There are rumors that NK is preparing a test
(nuke underground, submarine missile launch, or whatever).
Both of the sides are:
"In Your Face" -
and either side backing down now -
loses great face.
Not good.
So that you get the full flavor of it
and why Pyongyang warns of ‘catastrophe’
The 21st, also happens to be the new moon
which is the darkest night of the month,
which has particular significance to military strategists.
The thing is that Kim is fearful -
that the games are just a cover.
That all these built up forces are going to attack.
He thinks Trump has the balls to do that,
on the traditional military New Moon -
under cover of darkness
and with the eclipse and all.
But, Kim is just crazy.
He has no real reason to possibly fear that -
Trump might actually attack during the games,
does he?
No obvious solution there
or with Zapad 2017 which is scheduled for
14—20 September 2017 -
less than a month away.
Many Russian allies preparing to participate.
NATO allies preparing to confront.
It is very difficult to say -
what is important and what is not.
The Chinese skirmishes with India
and harsh words on both sides have made news this weeks.
Both sides have warned their troops
to not shoot at the other -
so the soldiers are physically pushing each other -
and throwing stones at each other.
Reminds me of something Eistein said
about the next war being fought with sticks and stones.
Prudent that they do so now.
Of course, as always, the bigger push over there
is between Pakistan and India.
I have given you links to keep up with that yourself -
so I won't bother.

---

What I consider the BIGGEST news this week is LIBOR.
Others will say that is old news.
Not so. Look at THIS!
Then explain it to me.
Forty days (it can rain that long)
until September 30th -
and the axe falls on the US Budget.
Could be related.
The article explains that TRILLIONS of DOLLARS are at risk.
That interest rates are both manipulated and made up
As point of fact - money itself is a fiction and illusion -
but nevertheless -
any disruption of the illusion
causes major disruption in the affairs of men.
The PTB have set up the privately owned Central Banks.
North Korea, Cuba and Iran are the only three countries
left without a private central bank running the countries affairs.
Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea and Iran
have lost their government banks since 2000.
Do you see a trend here?
It's a bankers war.
North Korea is Sitting on $6-10 trillion of untapped minerals.
If there is no relation there it is certainly
a significant convenient coincidence.
Poor, impoverished and no minerals -
and the world could care less -
if you are governed by pixies or whatever.
Wars are a continuation of financial battles -
and a gigantic one is raging between China / Russia
and the US.
The others are pawns.

All is Happening Now The French diplomat and political scientist,
Alexis de Tocqueville,
said of the French Revolution:
"Never was any such event, stemming from factors so far back in the past, so inevitable and yet so completely unseen."
I think the case is even more so now.
NK Now!
China / India Now!
Syria Now!
Pakistan / India Now!
Kim / Guam Now!
Putin Zapads Now!
Congress Collapses Now!

Trump Trumpet Time is Now !
Or is it my imagination?
Is his goverment disintegrating?
Both he and Kim have similar problems.
And similar solutions.
As do other nations and leaders.
The Deep State
is depth charging Donald.
Can he withstand their MSM,
and all the intriques from within?
Fired Fired! Fired!

Happening NOW at Ark Two Each week,
more people asking about coming here,
than occurred in a year previously.
Most none can or will.
Big Chinese Movie Crew here yesterday.
Not THAT big.
I don't know how big the movie is.
Crew this time was four crew - plus four actors.
Only overlap from previous time was soundman.
Different director, different coordinator.
Same company - same production.
Strange.
Never had actors before.
Lots of recent stories to tell about Ark Two -
but they are just stories.
They won't move YOU forward.
People are treating just as a game,
both the world events, and things here,
at Ark Two.

NK on NK

New Knowledge on North Korea
Kim is not in control
Trump is not in control
Both like to think they are in control
But it is events that control both
Not they that control events
They both ride the Tiger
This is true of all on the world stage
This is true of yourself
The Tiger is Destiny
The Tiger is Inevitable
Only HE tames the Tiger -
HE Who created the Tiger
HE Who knows the Purpose of the Tiger
The rest of us ride the Tiger
Who is HE?
Only HE knows Who is HE.
He who knows not Who is HE,
Knows not who he is.
It is appropriate that I write today -
in the Koan of Korea
the philosophy and riddle of the East.
It is a Destiny that affects us all.
This maelstrom that pulls us
into the sea of Destiny
is world-wide.
To some it may seem centered in Korea -
but it affects all -
and more importantly is affected by all.

War has begun between China and India Things have changed since the headlines
and the following came to me just THREE DAYS AGO.
(something messing with the automatic link
https://www.yahoo.com/news/says-china-countdown-war-india-113220364.html
try pasting directly)
----------------- BEIJING, August 9: China has begun preliminary preparations for a potential World War III.
The increasing rift with India over Doklam border area, North Korea's continuous nuclear weapon tests, international interference along South China border might lead to a potential world war, stated the Chinese Defense Ministry. China Defense Ministry issued a press release charging the entire security apparatus of the country, including the military, Air Force, Navy, police, together with citizens to get prepared for defending their national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
War drills and numerous weapon launching practices also underwent according to Chinese media. The increasing feud with the Philippines along South China border where Chinese Navy were deployed, the territorial issues with USA and India and North Korea's consistent weapon tests has the gravity of risk that could lead to a wider conflict, possibly, World War III.
See above for China
Watch here for Korea
and watch here for Pakistan
from where in my paradigm the first nuke will be fired,
the first domino will fall.

All is interrelated The immigrant floods into Europe
The changing boundaries -
in the battles in Syria
World Financial Markets -
local stock markets
Social breakdown in numerous countries
All is interrelated.
More is to come
Many and much will be affected
by the eclipse on August 21st,
because many think they will be affected
by the eclipse on August 21st.
Yes, the decision date -
for NK's launch of two missiles
to land 30 and 40 miles from Guam.
The games are underway.
Zapad 2017 is scheduled for
14—20 September 2017 -
just a month - four weeks away.
If you know not Zapad
you know nothing of current events.
Two weeks after that -
September 31st -
the axe falls on the US Budget.
The can that has been previously kicked
by Congressional Cooperation -
has no kicker.
But here is the kicker.
Many wish to embarrass Trump.
Many wish to disrupt Trump.
Some wish to replace Trump
(Coup rumors abound).
Budget time may be Trump Time.
Tiger Time.
TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
-- William Blake, 1757-1827

Humorous News

Humor like beauty probably lies in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes it is perhaps what we call black humor, or perhaps it is an appreciation of irony.
In any case, this week I decide in the light of all the speedily happening events, to try to find the humor in them.

The US Army is canceling its ten billion over the next five years order of Chinese drones. Things have apparently come to this funny state because of current statements by Donald Trump regarding the Chinese and that some feel the drones may have some cyber-warfare vulnerabilities. The Chinese have been the largest supplier to the US Army. "An Aug. 2 Army memo posted online and verified by Reuters applies to all DJI drones and systems that use DJI components or software. It requires service members to “cease all use, uninstall all DJI applications, remove all batteries/storage media and secure equipment for follow-on direction.”
Don't you somehow find it humorous that the largest supplier of drones to the US Army is China? Shades of Wal-Mart!

Unrelated, but Donald Trump, in order to save money, has ordered as replacements for Air Force One and Air Force Two, two planes originally built for Russia. This must be one of those Trump/Russia stories again.(Smile)

(What a relief!) "The New York Times reports that Trump may have found a reason to prolong the nearly 16-year-old war: Afghanistan's untapped mineral deposits, which could be worth nearly $1 trillion. Trump reportedly discussed Afghanistan's vast deposits of minerals with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and is considering sending an envoy to Afghanistan to meet with mining officials." Yep! Follow the money. Some think that is the explanation of all wars.
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Spanish and Finnish fighter jets were sent to intercept three Russian planes flying near Estonian air space on Tuesday (August 1st), the NATO military alliance said in a statement.
This story gets funnier / stranger / more ironic? as it goes along. You have to follow it down to the end - to get the punch line.

Visiting Finland on July 27, President Putin said Russia was "keeping an eye on certain intensification in the movement of military aircraft, ships and troops. In order for us to avoid negative consequences, situations that no one wants, we need to maintain dialogue." He also stressed readiness for dialogue with neutral countries that border the Baltic Sea like Finland which is not part of the NATO military alliance. (The story continues - keep going)

the Swedish military announced plans to conduct its largest joint military exercise with NATO in 20 years. Called Aurora 17, the training event is scheduled for September. (Yes, yes, yes, those agressive old Russians. And September! Sweet September. Hey! That is less than a month away! The punch line to this can be something! Keep reading.)

Russian President Putin warned:
"If Sweden joins NATO this will affect our relations in a negative way because we will consider that the infrastructure of the military bloc now approaches us from the Swedish side". Keep reading. (We aren't there yet).

Putin: It is time for Russia to fight back against American unlawful acts:
Published on Jul 31, 2017 You really need to listen all the way through to this 6 minute speech by Putin. And if you don't find THAT funny in the face of Special Counsel in the US Congress working to show that Trump is in collusion with the Russians - then you are a hard one with which to get a giggle going.

Now then, to continue our happy face three ring circus approach, let us look at the other ring over on the far side. These are actually the guys who wear the sad clown faces. I know - some people don't find clowns funny, but you can't please everyone. BIG Decision Time
"The situation is bad now, and it's going to get worse in August ... it's going to get much more dangerous in August," Joel Wit, a senior fellow at US-Korea Institute who previously worked on North Korea policy at the State Department, said on a call with reporters organized by 38 North, a website for informed analysis of the Korean defense situation.
August is when the American and South Korean militaries hold Ulchi- Freedom Guardian, one of the world's largest annual military exercises and the target of harsh rebukes from North Korea.
"That could create even more tension," Wit said. "I think we need to be to be very careful about aggravating the situation."
"But there's a bargain here," Wit added, "a quid pro quo here." North Korea has previously offered to suspend its nuclear development if the US and South Korea suspend their annual war games. In the past, the US has rejected this offer because the drills are legal and North Korea's nuclear development is not.
But with North Korea pushing closer to a nuclear-capable missile designed to accurately reach major US cities, Witt said it may be time to revisit that position.
"It's really the best point in time for a US president to do it," Witt said of peace talks with North Korea.
"Trump is insulated from any Republican criticism, which has stopped Democrats before," Witt said. "He thinks outside of the box. He might be the right person to do it."

Okay - so on that happy note about the right person at the right time - let is pass on to some one-liners. Steve Quayle Amerigeddon Economic collapse will be on August 21, 2017
A total solar eclipse is happening Aug. 21
On September 30, there ends the United States federal budget for fiscal year 2017, which lasts from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017
Ahh yes, once again - Sweet September - although I am an October man - myself.
So there! You see I CAN keep it all sweet and light! Not one world about all the massive parades, war games, weapons displays, announcements of new weapon capabilities that took place this week, (I think perhaps the most I have ever seen). Nope - as some have asked, I have kept it on the bright side. Enj
Ark Two
Still waiting for Michael, (our coordinator here) to recover.
He thinks Monday.
If this appears to be a repeat of last week -
it does seem to me to be that way also.
Actually, some big tasks completed this last week -
and some others for the coming week.
I hope there will start coming in critiques on what has been done on the LERN Learning Program.
Programmer reports 61 enrolled.
BUT, not one critique.
Someone please at least say -
you like it, or you don't like it.
The learning program will consist of SIX COURSES.
Course I The Nature and Purpose of LERNs
Course II The LERN Economic System
Course III The LERN Monetary System
Course IV The LERN Governance System
Course V The LERN Mission
Course VI The LERN Value System
Only the first course is in any way ready to critique,
but the editors are working on Courses II and III
and I am writing Course III.
If you haven't done so already -
get yourself a free gmail email address -
and enroll in the free course at:

We have only 40 active workers
who have come out in the last month.
I finished the process of writing to the rest of the 160
on the work list
and telling them to set a date to come
or that we are taking them off the list.
It looks like we have a bit over 50 helpers.
Hearing from more and more new people.
As the world situation continues in the direction it is going
then if there is time
we may start hearing from a lot more.
We really do need the help -
although there is no other place -
that gets as much as we do already.
I really do need to be grateful -
and stop looking at the hole in this donut.
So - put on a happy face!
And I hope that you have enjoyed
a happy / humorous newsletter
for a change!
Unity and Love,
