SAFE Ark Two Newsletter
August 10th Supplement 2014

Supplemental Email
Sorry about that. There is a programming anomally in the newsletter server that doesn't affect my computer, so it slipped through.

Both myself and several programmers at Mad Mimi spent several hours, one time before, looking for it - so I knew right where to go to fix it - when several people mentioned that they had not been able to link to the document. Hopefully, it works this time. If not - someone needs to let me know again. And here is:
the document itself
Coincidently, in response to the article, a returning Afghan vet remarked how some of his buddies had been recruited for "the domestic settlement program" and that he himself had some experience with it. However, everyone must of course make their own evaluation, but I want to provide you with all the tools that I can, most definitely including the document itself, so this unusual supplemental email, and my apologies for the inconvenience.

This supplement may not be all too coherent because I only had three hours sleep in getting the newsletter out last night. Breakfast crew now due here in thirty minutes.

Since I now have a little extra space I will mention that Adam is here and David the radio engineer called last night and we had a lengthy very beneficial conference call. I have to look up some information for Adam this morning and am hoping that the new board layout can go forward this week.

You may note my new signature line. It is because I have come to realize how more important, even than Peace, is the present need for Unity in the world. That will require the acceptance of all others - by all others. Not just tolerance, but APPRECIATION. I seen now that prejudice and dogmatism are two sides of the same coin, and the greatest psychological challenge facing humanity.

Unity and Love,
Bruce

Do you Think This Is For Real?
Some have been calling this a hoax - but I checked Snopes and Snopes does not have it.

"It" is a reputedly leaked government document.

Then I started to check two government source sites which were said to be original sources:

www.us.army.mil
and
atiam.train.army.mil

But FireFox warned me the urls were not to be trusted:

The messages were:

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.


The following appears to be a verifiable government source stating that the document is genuine BUT that it "was NOT intended for public release."
reported government source

And here is:

the document itself

Analysis

In the final analysis you, the reader, will have to decide whether this document is real, and whether its contents are of any significance to you. Some will be indignant that I publicize what is an illegally obtained document. While leakers/whistle blowers like Snowden/Manning/Ellsberg/Felt/Assange, and dozens of other truth tellers have been punished for their efforts to spread the truth, it is common practice for the leaders of our society who lie to the public, to Congress and to everyone else, to go completely unpunished, no matter how much money they steal through the Federal Reserve, or in contracts of the Industrial military complex, or what evils they may perform in designated assassinations of American citizens or others throughout the world, or in the torture of 'folks' in the near or abroad. These evils have permeated every level and every institution of our society.

In the past I have pointed out how (what are called the detaining powers in this document) could be local governments that have turned such things as car impound yards into potential detention facilities by facing the barbed wire fencing at the top inwards to keep people in - rather than outwards, to keep people out.

In the past I have provided pictures showing how there have been installed inconspicuous gates to shut off the escape routes from lower economic sections of the cities, and have given the example of how the bridge was closed at the time of the New Orleans hurricane.

In the past I have printed pictures showing the neat equipment that large cities have for the rapid deployment of long rolls of razor wire.

In the past I have given you links to the many Presidential Executive orders that provide for the confiscation of everything and anything that you could imagine.

In the past I have reported the news stories of the military shutting down whole communities in various states in order to train the troops in the methods of doing civilian population control.

In the past I have reported the gigantic acquisitions by 'civilian services' of sufficient numbers of bullets to shoot every American citizen a dozen times over.

In the past I have given you links to videos showing acquisition of massive numbers of grave liners that could be used as mass coffins, and of great numbers of military types of battle vehicles being distributed to local community police forces.

In the past I have discussed how police tactics have been changed, since I was a boy, from community policing to Emergency Task Force military tactical types of procedures.

In the past I have reported numerous stories about how the civilian population is stopped for searches and seizures on the highways, at the airline, bus and train terminals.

In the past I have discussed how completely telecommunications surveillance and on the street video surveillance and now satellite and dirigible eye in the sky can track one's every move.

In the past I have discussed how completely controlled the media has become and that from that source there is no clear and unbiased reporting. There is no transparency regarding what the government does.

My list could go on regarding many more similar points, but no matter what I report, the general response is - "Ho, hum. There is Beach ranting again about how everything is about to climax in the collapse of society." Such may be the response, but I find this document to be one more fact to add to the list.

In my paradigm - there is going to be total social breakdown resulting from economic/financial collapse and this is what is going to lead to nuclear WW3. If the PTB perceive that paradigm - then the plan described in this document is one that will be implemented primarily in the time leading up to the war event. Those proposing the policies in this document are concerned about COG (Continuity Of Government) and in retaining and defending those many immensely supplied secure underground fortresses that have been developed for that purpose.

Do not misread me on this. I think all that is proposed in this document would be very good - if it could be carried out. As I have repeatedly said - we would be very fortunate to have Martial Law after the Great Catastrophe. However, I don't think things will work out well in the short run and that what we have described here is simply a prescription for what will be attempted in the run up to the main event.

In other words, what I am saying is that this document describes what is going to first be, and one should really prepare themselves for that.

In the following left hand boxes are actual passages that I have selected from the document. You can verify them in the document itself, using the link that I have given above.

In the right hand boxes are my comments:

Civilian Internees 1-10. A CI is a civilian who is interned during armed conflict, occupation, or other military operation for security reasons, for protection, or because he or she committed an offense against the detaining power. ... CIs are to be accommodated separately from ... persons deprived of liberty for any other reason. The claim that this is a hoax is based upon the concept that the civilians mentioned here are in OTHER countries. That the hoax is in trying to say that it applies to US Citizens. You will have to make that judgement for yourself.

SUPPORT TO CIVIL SUPPORT OPERATIONS

2-39. Civil support is the DOD support to U.S. civil authorities for domestic emergencies, and for designated law enforcement and other activities. (JP 3-28) Civil support includes operations that address the consequences of natural or man-made disasters, accidents, terrorist attacks and incidents in the U.S. and its territories.
Right here you can see that this applies to using the US Army (DOD) against US civilians for:
    a. U.S. civil authorities
    b. domestic emergencies
    c. designated law enforcement
    d. other activities
all of which could be anything.

2-40. The I/R tasks performed in support of civil support operations are similar to those during combat operations, but the techniques and procedures are modified based on the special OE associated with operating within U.S. territory and according to the categories of individuals (primarily DCs) to be housed in I/R facilities. During long-term I/R operations, state and federal agencies will operate within and around I/R facilities within the scope of their capabilities and identified role. Once again this speaks directly about:

    "operating within U.S. territory"


How can one deny that, and say it applies only to other countries?

IDENTIFICATION 7-16. Individual identification photographs are taken of all prisoners. The prisoner’s last name, first name, and middle initial are placed on the first line of a name board, and the prisoner’s social security number is placed on the second line. A prisoner registration number may be added on the third line. Two front and two profile pictures are taken of the prisoner. Fingerprints are obtained according to AR 190-47. Note that this calls for the prisoner's SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

How then could one say that this does not apply to US Citizens?

Agencies Concerned With Internment and Resettlement Operations This appendix provides background information about the various types of government and nongovernment agencies interested in I/R operations. When noting the following list of agencies - continue to question why anyone would think that this would be used against US Citizens in the US.

U.S. FEDERAL AGENCIES

E-1. The DOD, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other federal agencies provide support for I/R operations. Often, there is more than one federal agency providing support for I/R operations. These federal agencies may support nongovernment agencies and/or private organizations in their I/R support roles.
Do
Department of Homeland Security
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)
sound like we are dealing with someone being in a foreign country?

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

E-4. In the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster, or other large-scale emergency, the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared. This includes providing a coordinated, comprehensive federal response to any large-scale crisis and mounting a swift and effective recovery effort.
This appears to say that DHS
(DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY)
is the one responsible for the activities in this document - and that it is the US Army that will be doing their bidding.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

E-5. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is responsible for leading the nation’s emergency management system. Local and state programs are the heart of the nation’s emergency management system, with most disasters being handled by local and state governments. When devastation is serious and exceeds the capability and resources of local and state governments, states turn to the federal government for help. Once the President has declared a national disaster, Federal Emergency Management Agency coordinates with its own response activities and 28 other federal agencies that may provide assistance.
Or it FEMA
FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY
that is responsible? I guess those two will have to sort it out. I am sure the government could never be confused about such things.

E-8. The National Response Plan describes the basic mechanisms and structures by which the federal government mobilizes resources and conducts activities to augment state and local response efforts. ...Federal assistance is provided to the affected state by coordinating with the Federal Coordinating Officer, who is appointed by the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency on the President’s behalf. Once the bomb drops I guess everyone knows what they are supposed to do and there won't be any squabbling as to who is supposed to do what. I hope that they will all get along very cooperatively together. We certainly saw that in New York and New Orleans. Just ask the mayors there.

OTHER FEDERAL AGENCIES

E-9. Other federal agencies can provide advice and assistance in performing I/R operations. For example, the Department of Transportation has technical capabilities and expertise in public transportation and the Department of Agriculture has projects and activities ongoing in foreign countries and can provide technical assistance and expertise upon request. Other federal agencies that can be resourceful in planning and implementing I/R operations are the U.S. Agency for International Development, Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, U.S. Information Agency, Department of Justice, Public Health Service, and ICE.
Good - other independent groups to offer their opinions and exert their control. But all in all, I doubt that they will be that coordinated in the case of the total Catastrophe that I imagine.

PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS OFFICER

3-55. The PSYOP officer in charge of supporting I/R operations serves as the special staff officer responsible for PSYOP. The PSYOP officer advises the military police commander on the psychological impact of military police or MI actions to prevent misunderstandings and disturbances by detainees and DCs. The supporting I/R PSYOP team has two missions that reduce the need to divert military police assets to maintain security in the I/R facility. (See appendix J.) The team—
    * Assists the military police force in controlling detainees and DCs.
    * Introduces detainees or DCs to U.S. and multinational policy.
This is one of the most interesting areas to me in this 326 page document. Really a book, and this subject has a chapter all its own. Its subject is really how to control the thinking of the masses - but it isn't totally clear as to what end.


3-56. The PSYOP team also supports the military police custodial mission in the I/R facility. The team—
    * Develops PSYOP products that are designed to pacify and acclimate detainees or DCs to accept U.S. I/R facility authority and regulations.
    * Gains the cooperation of detainees or DCs to reduce the number of guards needed.
    * Identifies malcontents, trained agitators, and political leaders within the facility who may try to organize resistance or create disturbances.
    * Develops and executes indoctrination programs to reduce or remove antagonistic attitudes.
    * Identifies political activists.
    * Provides loudspeaker support (such as administrative announcements and facility instructions when necessary).
    * Helps the military police commander control detainee and DC populations during emergencies.
    * Plans and executes a PSYOP program that produces an understanding and appreciation of U.S. policies and actions.

Note. PSYOP personnel use comprehensive information, reorientation, and educational and vocational programs to prepare detainees and DCs for repatriation.
Yes, do be pacified and make sure that you have no inclination to becoming a political leader because their are programs to remove antagonistic attitudes. As it says - the intention is to control you. Love that phrase - " PSYOP personnel use comprehensive information, reorientation, and educational and vocational programs to prepare detainees and DCs for repatriation." We used to call it 'brainwashing'.

K-9. The tactical PSYOP detachment conducts operations based on command information and PSYOP pacification programs using a variety of media. Music and news (from approved sources), I/R facility rules, and in-processing instructions are broadcast using facility loudspeaker systems augmented by loudspeaker systems organic to the tactical PSYOP detachment. If available, supporting audiovisual teams produce and disseminate audio and/or video products. Printed products will be produced by attached print teams or contracted print support, or through reachback capabilities. Products not directly related to I/R facility command information are subject to the PSYOP task force established approval process. TOTAL freedom of speech and press - for the approved sources.

LOUDSPEAKER SUPPORT CONSIDERATIONS

K-11. The tactical PSYOP detachment commander should ensure that enclosure commanders include PSYOP loudspeaker support in activities involving mass transfers between facilities and other activities (health and welfare inspections) or in circumstances where a facility has the potential of becoming overcrowded. Limitations on resources available for I/R facility construction, combined with large surges of detainees arriving at the I/R facility, may result in temporary overcrowding. The potential for disturbances increases dramatically when I/R facilities are overcrowded.
I included this one because it reminds me so beautifully of "1984" and "Brave New World". But, that is just me.

INTERVIEW TEAM

K-13. The interview team is comprised of tactical PSYOP detachment personnel who are trained to conduct interviews. If available, interview teams should be augmented with qualified MOS 97E interrogators to increase team effectiveness. The interview team normally operates in the I/R facility processing area, screening all or a representative sample of incoming detainees and DCs. Although MI units will likely be present in the facility, it is important for the interview team to maintain a separate operation. Nevertheless, the team must coordinate closely with MI personnel and other assets to obtain any PSYOP-relevant information gathered in interrogations and must provide information of intelligence value gained from passive collection by PSYOP personnel.
This is where the 'qualified' interrogators use the 'enhanced interrogation techniques' described in another document released this week - if you get my drift.

K-14. The team uses interview notes and database software to collect information about each detainee and DC. The data is compiled and forwarded to the tactical PSYOP detachment or support element or directly to the PSYOP task force for TA analysis. Information gained in PSYOP product pretests may be reported directly to the CONUS-based product development company to accelerate the product development and approval process. Information collected in PSYOP interviews should include the following information about detainees and DCs:
    * Race or ethnicity.
    * Sex.
    * Age.
    * Political affiliation.
    * Religious affiliation.
    * Geographic origin.
    * Education level.
    * Length, depth, and type of involvement during the conflict.
    * Previous or current occupation.
    * Standard of living and financial state.
    * Previous military training.
    * Political and military indoctrination.
    * PSYOP vulnerability and susceptibility. K-15. The initial interview, conducted on arrival at the I/R facility, should include a numerical score or code that indicates the desirability to conduct a follow-up interview as time and the situation permit. Detainees and DCs who are cooperative or possess information, skills, or characteristics of interest to the tactical PSYOP detachment should be interviewed in depth. The interview team specifically looks for—
    * Malcontents, rabble-rousers, trained agitators, and political officers who may attempt to organize resistance or create disturbances within the I/R facility. Once these individuals are identified, guards will normally confine them in isolated enclosures to deny them access to the general population.
    * Detainees and DCs willing to cooperate in setting up informant networks. These detainees and DCs should be referred to MI counterintelligence personnel, since as it is their responsibility to run informant networks within the I/R facility.
So here is your job opportunity, "cooperate in setting up informant networks." This has been known to be particularly appealing to children regarding parents.

AUDIOVISUAL TEAM

K-24. The audiovisual team can support three or more tactical PSYOP detachments when supporting I/R operations. The audiovisual team uses organic equipment to produce and disseminate products to the I/R facility population. The team supports the facility PSYOP program by disseminating entertainment products, such as videos and music. This team gives the tactical PSYOP detachment the ability to influence detainee and DC behavior by providing or withholding something of value to the population. When directed, the team disseminates products that support other PSYOP task force programs (reeducation, reorientation, posthostility themes).

K-25. At a minimum, the audiovisual team should have the capability to edit audio and video products in digital formats, provide edited audio products in compact disc and minidisc formats, disseminate video products in video home system and digital video disc formats, project video with sound to large audiences within the facility, record and edit digital still photographs, and print limited numbers of PSYOP products in various sizes for use within the internment facility.
There are lots of good job opportunities - if you are a good team player.

6-92. Examples of standing orders for detainees may include the following:
    * Comply with rules, regulations, and orders. They are necessary for safety, good order, and discipline.
    * Immediately obey all orders from U.S. military personnel. Deliberate disobedience, resistance, or conduct of a mutinous or riotous nature will be dealt with by force.
    * Noncompliance or any act of disorder or neglect that is prejudicial to good order or discipline will result in disciplinary or judicial punishment.
    * Do not establish courts or administer punishment over other detainees.
    * Do not possess knives, sticks, pieces of metal, or other articles that can be used as a weapon.
    * Do not drill or march in military formation for any purpose except as authorized and directed by the detention facility commander.
So - if you wish to be a survivor, you may as well learn the rules NOW! The more prepared you are - the more likely you are to survive.

Furthermore, the use of deadly force is preceded by warnings appropriate to the circumstances. The continuum recognizes five basic categories:
    * Lethal. Attempts to kill or inflict serious injury (using knives, clubs, objects, firearms).
    * Assaultive. Attempts to attack or inflict injury (striking with hands or feet, biting).
    * Actively resistant. Does not follow orders and offers physical resistance, but does not attempt to inflict harm (bracing or pulling away, attempting to flee).
    * Passively resistant. Does not follow orders, but offers no physical resistance to attempts to gain control (going limp).
    * Compliant. Offers no resistance to instruction and complies with directions.
See - you have been warned. Now be compliant.

H-3. The continuum also incorporates five levels of force. (See figure H-1) Ideally, the service member starts at Level 1 and progressively moves up the continuum until the detainee complies. However, the use of force is dictated by the actions of the subject during the encounter. Subject actions may escalate or deescalate rapidly, possibly skipping one or more levels. There is no requirement for the following levels of force to be applied in order:
    * Level 1: Cooperative controls. Used to direct a compliant person (verbal direction, hand gestures).
    * Level 2: Soft controls. Used when cooperative control fails and the level of force required escalates. They are designed with a low probability of causing injury (compliant or noncompliant escort positions, use of hand and/or leg restraints).
    * Level 3: Hard controls. Used when escort positions fail and the level of force required escalates. They have a slightly greater possibility of causing injury (pressure points, joint locks, oleoresin capsicum spray [such as pepper spray], electronic stun devices).
    * Level 4: Defensive techniques. Used when hard controls fail and the level of force required escalates. They also have a higher probability of causing injuries. (empty-hand strikes and blocks, baton strikes and blocks, NLWs, and MWDs).
    * Level 5: Deadly force. Used as a last resort when all lesser means have failed or would be impractical.
You really don't want to get to Level Five in this game.

    * Escapes. When deadly force has been specifically authorized by the head of a DOD components and reasonably appears necessary to prevent escape.
Not playing the game is NOT a choice. That gets you an automatic Level 5.

RIOT FORMATIONS H-42. Quick-reaction force teams should be established with a minimum response time. Because of the physical nature of riot control, individuals in riot control formations should not carry rifles. Nonlethal attachments should follow closely behind the riot control formation. Lethal coverage must be provided for this entire formation. (See FM 3-22.40.) "Lethal coverage must be provided for this entire formation."

This is where it gets nasty. See the next section.

DESIGNATED MARKSMEN

H-43. During a nonlethal engagement, the use of designated marksmen provides confidence and safety to those facing a riot. If a lethal threat is presented, the designated marksmen in overwatch positions (armed with appropriate sniper weapons mounted with high-powered scopes) can scan a crowd and identify agitators and riot leaders for apprehension and fire lethal rounds if warranted. Additionally, they are ideally suited for flank security and countersniper operations. (See FM 3-22.40.)
This is where it all was headed. You want to read this section several times. That guy with the scope is your judge and executor. You don't want to be the wrong color or something. Curiously, this is the very thing that the US was complaining about what was happening in the Ukraine when people were trying to escape from the buildings that were set on fire. I hope you watched the videos.

CROWD DYNAMICS

H-44. Commanders must be concerned with crowd control and the dynamics caused by disaffected people living in close quarters. Generally, the commander needs to be concerned about two types of disturbances: riots and disorders. I/R populations may organize disturbances of either type within the facility to wear down the guard force. (See FM 3-19.15.)
I/R populations stands for "Internment and Resettlement populations" - otherwise known as the occupants of the FEMA camps. The remedy is provided in the box just above.

H-45. Simply being part of a crowd affects a person. To some extent, persons in a crowd are susceptible to actions different from their usual behavior. For example, crowds provide a sense of anonymity because they are large and often temporary congregations. Crowd members often feel that their moral responsibility has shifted from themselves to the crowd as a whole. Large numbers of people discourage individual behavior since the urge to imitate is strong in humans. People look to others for cues and disregard their own background and training. Only well-disciplined persons or persons with strong convictions can resist conforming to a crowd’s behavior. Crowd behavior influences the actions of the disorderly participants and the authorities tasked to control them. Under normal circumstances, a crowd is orderly and does not present a problem to authorities. However, when crowd behavior violates laws or threatens life or property, a disturbance ensues. The application of much that we are discussing here is in response to what will be masses of people in the ghettos of large cities when they become disgruntled with the social/economic collapse. It won't be a pleasant place to be. But then, I have mentioned to people that they should - "Get out of the cities."

CROWD BEHAVIOR (246) H-46. Social factors (leadership, moral attitudes, uniformity) may influence crowd behavior. Leadership has a profound effect on the intensity and direction of crowd behavior. When blocked from expressing its emotions in one direction, a crowd’s frustration and hostility may be redirected elsewhere. The first person to give clear orders in an authoritative manner may become the leader. Agitators can exploit a crowd’s mood and convert a group of frustrated, resentful people into a vengeful mob. Skillful agitators using clandestine communications within the facility can reach large portions of the population and incite them to unlawful acts without having direct personal contact. In an I/R environment, any crowd can be a threat to law and order because it is open to manipulation. First our society creates the problem - and then it provides the solution. Skillful agitators, as mentioned here are otherwise known as agents provocateurs. The facility can be the FEMA Camp, a ghetto, a prison, a university, or many other groupings. You have to be creative about this.

DC = dislocated civilian
And if you can be creative in dealing with DCs - the US Army has as a job for you in dealing with "dislocated civilians" as an Internment/Resettlement Specialist 31-E


Here at Ark Two

Massive amounts of news this week, but I am not covering it because I assume everyone knows that the world is breaking up.

Friday, one person came. Today, three people came. Tomorrow, Sunday, we are supposed to have six here. Nothing near the numbers that I was hoping for - but lots more than in most any other place.

Tom (KI Canada) called yesterday and said he had talked to Shane (KI4U) this week - and without my mentioning anything about it said - that Shane had remarked that the more events intensify - and the closer we get to the BIG Event - the less interest there seems to be among preppers.

Christopher had noted the same thing in our Zoom Conference - last Sunday - and Jean and I had discussed the same thing a few days ago. Everyone (who is involved in this way) notices it.

I personally think it is a Divine veil - being drawn over the eyes of humanity - because non-preppers are totally blind. We just don’t seem to be able to get many people to help prepare now, with the increasing intensity of world affairs each day.

Just this week China tested new satellite destroying missiles that sort of flabbergasted the US. Blinding the eye in the sky and eliminating the GPS will be a major blow.

At the same time, Russia tested the US boundaries with more planes than they had in decades, and confronted a US submarine.

The US started bombing ISIS - and the ISIS on-line news magazine was just a Wow!

US General killed in Afghanistan, increasing conflict in Gaza, a gigantic EU financial crises, and much, much more, but as I said - I won't go there, because I have written so much already.

One thing that I should mention, is that Butch tells me that we have only about 30 copies of Society AFTER Doomsday left. I doubt that we will have the opportunity to reprint, and these are the directions that you will truly need when faced with the situation that this newsletter has been all about.

Greetings SAFE Team!

If you have not been feeling overwhelmed lately, then something is probably seriously wrong with you! With all the recent events, tragic as they are, most are beyond our personal means of affecting change!
No matter how much time each of us has left, it's OUR responsibility to be the change we want to see! As those of you who have been on the ground floor of SAFE have realized, finding like minded people is pretty hard when so many people have lost their minds!

Although we have amazing amounts of information, and amazing resources at our finger tips, we are almost powerless to wake up the sleep walkers all around us. Just what exactly does it take to convince someone that the tide is rising - that the storm clouds are already here?

Well, if folks have been so distracted, for so long; so conditioned for so long; it could very well be time to focus on taking care of your own family and those of a few friends, while we still have the time.

The amount of facts and evidence is out there for all to see. As the futurist, George Orwell, described in his book "1984" language is one of the first casualties of war. All the news services need to do in order to keep us asleep to the truth is for them to use certain words to cover up the obvious facts about how bad things have become.

Anything branded a conspiracy is the code word for crazy. And so on. Good is bad, bad is good. You get the point. I hope that every day, each of us find new ways to make positive changes - to keep investing in our future, without letting the world and all its woes pull us into despair.

My message to all of our SAFE members is to guard your soul, your mind, and your heart against all the strife happening in the world. Seek, as much as practical, ways to serve your network AND your community while there's still time. Stay focused, stay determined, stay SAFE!

Peace & Action,

The Continuing New Normal

Many hours tracking the news the last few days - looking for news about the Friday Mosque speeches after Eid al-Fitr. But nothing, although occasional snippets about tens of thousands in demonstrations in cities throughout Europe, the Middle East and even in Chicago and Washington, D.C.

This one Muslim demonstration in China resulted in about 100 dead and 150 hurt. More than 200 people have died in unrest in Xinjiang from attacks that took place at the end of the holy month of Ramadan, which officials had tried to get Muslims in Xinjiang to ignore. Then the earthquake in Southern China today killed more.

I found the gas explosion in Taiwan quite interesting. I had never seen anything quite like that. My expectation is that if one dug deep enough they would find some bureaucrat being too friendly with industry in applying standards that should have prevented such a tragedy. Bribes are a big problem in many parts of the world. Fortunately, for the common person there is little of it in the US and Canada. It is largely restricted to congress and their relationship to the banks and corporations. There it is done in an institutionalized and systematic way.

American foreign news has been dominated by Gaza, usually in a anti-Jewish vein, to the exclusion of news about:
Ukraine
Libya
Syria
Iraq
African countries

and many other conflicts where greater numbers are being killed, but which I have had to go to the foreign press to learn about.

Another Expectation Unfulfilled

This year's Eid al-Fitr has certainly upset my paradigm for the week. I thought things would heat up immensely after the Friday Mosque speeches. Not to say that they aren't heating up - but just not in the obvious way that I thought they would.

Israel has destroyed, altogether less than 50 Gaza tunnels, while this week Egypt's army said it has destroyed 1,639 Gaza tunnels. That was another paradigm change for me. Cairo also accuses Hamas of being involved in militant attacks inside Egypt, which have resulted in more than 1,400 people being killed in street clashes. Yet, all we hear is Israel and Gaza. Those tunnels are not primitive little holes that someone crawls through on their belly. Pictures that I have seen show concrete sides, lighting and communication channels down the sides and tracks or paving on the floor.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported (subject at link seems to have changed) about 1,240 pro-government (Syrian) forces have been killed in the past 10 days (by ISIS). The situation in Baghdad is so dire, top military leaders said to have bags packed ready to flee.


Now, what I think is a much more important subject.

This is an excellent video that clearly explains my paradigm of why I think nuclear war will start in Pakistan. (Actually, my paradigm is based upon prophecy - but this gives the external geopolitical rationalization.)

Mind you - this video wouldn't touch the prophetic reasons with a ten foot pole - and I must also warn you that the video is a sales pitch to sell stock and make money out of nuclear World War Three - which I of course think is all ridiculous. BUT - I find its facts dead on. Because the video is a commercial, it does not have the usual convenient controls, and you can't pause, but if you quit the page it will then give you an opportunity to read a transcript - which isn't quite as powerful.

Here is a link to an Official US Government Video about how the US Air Force thinks the US will win a nuclear war. Forget MAD. This video was not made for the public consumption, but it has now been declassified so we get to see it. To see the video you have to go to the above page and then scroll down to the one called "Power of Decision".

Compared to today's technology - everything in this video is in slow motion. Still, even back then, they expected only a 3 day war. I found THAT very interesting, because (again based upon prophecy) that is my expectation also. President Carter thought perhaps an afternoon. In this video, of course the good guys win.

The video makes NO mention of EMP, SLBMs or Satellites which would be the main facets today.

Here is
a more realistic but humorous current view
Sorry about the language. More sorry about the facts, (because they are correct) and my apologies if I have sent this last video to you before, but my stupid email program has not kept a copy of my latest couple of newsletters so that I could check.

Last week the National Defense Panel published its review of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). Surprise, surprise! The Pentagon says that the US military needs much more money, although the US military spending exceeds the combined spending of most of the world's militaries, is the largest the world has ever seen, has enough destructive power to destroy the world many times over, and has bases in 178 countries in the world.

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey surveys today's worrying security landscape for FP: "In each region of the world, we face serious -- but very different -- security challenges, from rising state-to-state tensions in Asia and Europe to escalating sub-state violence in the Middle East and North Africa. Moreover, technologies and capabilities once confined to states are moving beyond their control. The result is an international order under duress with as many things working to pull the world apart as to pull it together."


You say what?

Now then, here is to me a curiosity I offer this without further comment, because I understand nothing. Just to let you know that I follow all the news that I can.


If I were going to write lots
I would write lots about this.


I think the biggest precipitating factor towards world catastrophe is in the geopolitical/financial world and I can't remember whether or not last time I discussed Russia/China/Germany and the US gold situation.

"The 'reset' gave us a world where Georgia remains illegally occupied, where Poland and the Czech Republic lack missile defenses, where American parents cannot adopt Russian babies, where Russian bombers fly within 50 miles of the Pacific coast, where Ukraine is sundered, where the prospects for ground war in Eastern Europe are high, where Putin says U.S. sanctions against his cronies will take bilateral relations to a 'dead end.'"


Here at Ark Two

Extremely busy last two weeks for me - doing paper work. Five income tax filings and the Canadian government passed a law that ALL non-profit corporations have to reorganize by October 17th. They call it filing for continuance. Has taken me five days just this go around, working on that. Fortunately, did the bulk of the work two years ago, but all the corporate By-Laws had to be rewritten and reapproved. Not quite finished.

Seven attempts at trying to get Jean's passport updated. On the last one she was wearing a white blouse (not allowed). Have new picture, but have to get it signed by guarantor and then another five hour trip to re-file it plus $185 passport fee required if we want the 10 year passport. Only $120 for five year, but it wouldn't be 'diplomatic' for me to say she will only last five more years. Also have to make another pass on my landed immigrant card - with a different agency. Got to the bottom line in my first attempt and they wanted a hundred dollars that I wasn't expecting. It is costing a bundle today, just to maintain one's identity. When you add this up over our whole family it is over a thousand dollars. Considerable costs for corporate identities also.

Lots more that I could talk about, but still and all, on the surface, a quiet week compared to what I expected. Getting some response for next weekend here at Ark Two, but nothing as much as I would like. The few of us who get together may have lots to do. If you are willing to join us, please do let me know.

Peace and love,

Work Week at Ark Two, please email me your telephone number and location. You are welcome to attend any one or all of the days. Because of space limitations in the house most participants will need to camp on our grounds if staying over.

So What Happened?

"The 20th came and went - and nothing happened!" These are the words that two separate correspondents wrote to me. I noted also a similar observation on one of the news forums that I monitor, saying that since the downing of MH17, everything has been relatively quiet.

Reminds me of the story of two gentlemen of the dark persuasion who were aficionados of the razor knives. Upon meeting in an alley they fell into an altercation and one swiped with his razor at the other. "Hah! you missed me", said the swipee. "Think so?" was the reply of the swiper, "just shake your head!"

I am not the only one to hold the opposite opinion about the intensity of current events, because I note numbers of writers remarking upon the acceleration of events. Acknowledged, however, that the MSM and most of the public do not seem to be aware.

Here is my list of what has occurred surrounding the 20th:

US and Israel versus Iran

July 20th was the redline date (so far as Israel is concerned) for a satisfactory (to Israel) agreement between Iran and the US/EU regarding Iran's nuclear activity.

The six month July deadline was set on January 20th, and while it has now been extended to November 24th, (a month before Christmas Eve) without Israel's consent.

BUT - in Israel's eyes, the redline has now been crossed, and action against Iran will be justified when circumstances require and permit.

US and Ukraine versus Russia

Of note also, is that one day prior to the 20th, this poke in the eye of the Russian bear in a note from Kyiv, on July 19, 2014. The United States Congress passed a Russian Aggression Prevention Act (RAPA) of 2014, which granted Ukraine together with Moldova, and Georgia major non-NATO ally status. The legislation authorizes the transfer of military assistance to Ukraine, including the anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons and small arms, based on the needs and the assessment of capabilities of Ukrainian Armed Forces, reads the document. It also encourages the U.S. government to share intelligence with Ukraine.

The Act was submitted by the expert commission and adopted by the U.S. Congress in two readings on July 17. The legislation stipulates the increase of the U.S. Armed Forces interactions and NATO security assistance to Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, and post-Yugoslavia republics: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia and Serbia.

It may be that the Ukraine will be needing some assistance in that in the last couple of days Russia has begun well targeted artillery fire across the border from Russia into the Ukraine. I say well targeted on the basis of viewing numerous photos of total destruction (reportedly occurring this week) of various groupings of Ukrainian military equipment.

Add to this reports that the Ukraine government is collapsing and will be out of money on August 1, to pay military. Numerous leaders have resigned from the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian parliament is no longer formally functioning. Some see all this, besides large build-up of Russian troops facing the Ukraine border, as indication that Russia is about to invade.

But, not to worry - Gen. Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated two days ago on July 24, at the Aspen Security Forum, in Aspen, Colorado, that:

“We’re looking inside our own readiness models to look at things that we haven’t had to look at for 20 years...We’re not sitting still.”

US versus China

This just in from the Associated Press, 12 hours ago, as I write this newsletter:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. says China has tested a missile designed to destroy satellites and is urging Beijing to refrain from destabilizing actions.

As a part of the China scene - "India, Japan, and the United States gathered with warships, submarines, aircrafts, and helicopters in the north-western Pacific on Thursday to start their trilateral Malabar naval exercise -- an annual event that has been primarily a bilateral U.S.-Indian operation since 1992 (WSJ, Times of India, The Hindu, Economic Times). This year is the third time Japan is taking part in the exercise. The "harbor phase" of the exercise will begin on July 24 and the "sea phase" will begin on July 27.

I do hope that you note the date, that this is in addition to the CINPAC war games, and that it is something that does not please China - at all.

Also on July 24, I found the following: The Chinese aggression in the South China Sea has created A WIDESPREAD BELIEF THAT WAR IS NOT ONLY POSSIBLE BUT THAT IT IS IMMINENT. A recent opinion poll in the region found that over 60 percent of the people in nations bordering the South China Sea feared Chinese aggression and the war it might trigger. A similar percentage of Chinese agreed.

US versus Korea

Likewise, North Korea fired a short-range ballistic missile into waters off its east coast on Saturday (the 26th), a South Korean defense official said, adding to its high number of weapons tests this year. The launch came on the eve of the 61st anniversary of the signing of an armistice that ended the Korean War.

A day before the 61st anniversary (of the Korean War Armistice Agreement, July 27, 1953) North Korea has threatened to lash out at the United States. The Armistice is a truce, not a treaty, and so consequentially, in international legal terms, the war has never ended.

US versus Libya

I don't really even know how to read these things - but there is this: : RT @LibyanPilot: The closure of Libyan Airspace from July 28th is most likely setting the scene for @NATO missions over the country. #Libya #Tripoli

I have read about the planned air space closure elsewhere, and similar speculations regarding the meaning - accompanied by dire speculations as to what this will mean for the world.

It has been a bad week for air travel. The loss of the second Malaysian 777, the crash of Air Algerie, plus Taiwan TransAsia Flight, and even a supposed terrorist event causing a return of a Panama bound jet to the Toronto airport. On top of this was the cancellation of many flights and airlines servicing Israel - because of the threat there.

Oh!Oh! The following just in and lends credibility to the anticipated coming clash. The United States suspended operations at its embassy in Libya Saturday (today as I am writing this) and evacuated its diplomats to neighboring Tunisia under U.S. military escort amid a significant deterioration in security in Tripoli as fighting intensified between rival militias, the State Department said.

US and Jordan versus ISIS

Here is a totally new acceleration, reported yesterday July 25th, from AMMAN: Jordan shot down a drone on Friday as it flew over the northeastern region of Mafraq, near the border with Syria, a security official said.

In the first such incident since the conflict erupted in neighboring Syria in 2011, “the Jordanian armed forces shot down an unidentified drone with a missile as it flew over Mafraq,” the official told AFP.

“It was a violation of Jordan’s airspace. Jordan will take measures at a high level after identifying the drone.” Well, that doesn't say it was ISIS, but ISIS said it was going to invade Jordan. More disturbing to the King is that some groups inside Jordan have said that they will align with ISIS.

US versus Syria

Do you remember how a few weeks ago the news was nothing but Syria, and now it is almost nothing about Syria? Syria has not gone away. It has just become worse. Much worse. There were 700 killed in 48 hours in Syria a couple of days ago - 1700 in the week. Compare that to Gaza. In just two days, in this week alone, as many deaths as what has occurred total now in almost three weeks in Gaza. But what do you hear about? More than that, this fighting with ISIS in Syria is expected to accelerate and is combined with a lot of Muslim groups in-fighting that is going on.

US and Iraq versus ISIS

This remains the central ISIS battlefield of the moment. An analysis, city by city, and faction by faction, and battle by battle, goes beyond the scope of what I can get into - in dealing with an overview as I am trying to do. Needless to say, Iran is a very big player here also - bringing in elite troops to confront ISIS in Iraq, and to protect the Shiites there. Also Russia, in providing Iraq with a viable air force - something the US declined to do.

US and Saudi Arabia versus ISIS

I saw pictures of what seemed to me to be an astounding fire this week at the Grand Mosque in Mecca (Islam's Holiest site). Given that ISIS is on a rampage of destroying shrines and had vowed to destroy the Kabba, because in their view Muslims were only worshipping stones and not God, this seemed very significant.

The news from Mecca down plays all this, saying they don't know the cause of the fire. Nevertheless, Isis did destroy a number of Mosques this week, mostly Shiite, but also some Sunni, and it destroyed a number of very old Christian shrines including excluding the monks from a monastery that they had operated for 1400 years.

For the present, the US and Saudi Arabia remain tied at the hip allies, but we are seeing more and more factions from Saudi Arabia assisting ISIS on various fronts. It is all such a mixed bag with Hamas being supplied by Iran and ISIS is Gaza and Iran fighting ISIS in Syria. It is becoming more and more difficult to determine whose side anyone is on. The US itself was largely the initial creator of both ISIS and Al-Qaeda. It gives millions to Hamas and the Palestinians. Supports the Nazis in the Ukraine and does joint war games with China. Go figure.

The Next Big Upcoming Event

The big upcoming event is the end of Ramadan on Monday, July 28th, and the first post-Ramadan Mosque speeches on Friday August 1st. I am giving a week after that for things to continue momentum - and those who tell me that so far they see nothing in any of the above, may then note some changes in their lives.

Some tell me that this is just the new normal, but my reply is that this is NOT normal. No, it is unique. There has never been such a simultaneous build-up on so many fronts - in the history of the world. And if you look back through those dates that I have highlighted, you will note that it all centers around July 28th, 2014 - the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of Armageddon on July 28th, 1914.

This is the date, surrounded by events, that I have told you about for many months. It is the fulfillment of a prophecy that mankind would be given a hundred years to gain spiritual control of itself, which it has obviously failed to do. What we now await is the LAST GREAT BATTLE OF ARMAGGEDON, sometime after that date - and then The Great Catastrophe.

I know that many do not want to hear about this. How soon it will be - I do not know, but now it can be anytime. As of Tuesday, the prophesied delay, that I have talked about for many months, will be past.

The Economic Financial Scene

What would give events a very significant push would be an economic crisis in the US, as is already happening in numerous countries in the world with hyper- inflation, bank bail-ins, and massive unemployment. Much of this has been disguised in the US, but I am hearing numerous warnings about food cost inflations this Fall in the US, because of shortages created by the US droughts in California. Imports could cushion the blow, but already numerous financial maneuverings are taking place that it is beyond my power to comprehend.

The formula - Economic / Financial / Social Collapse in the US will create International instability that will cumulate in World War Three - seems quite credible to me.

The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South America) are taking such dramatic financial / monetary actions against the BIS (Bank of International Settlements - UK/US/EU the world reserve currency), like the world has never seen.

Germany is very angered that the US has not / will not return its gold deposits and so it is increasing its alliance with Russia, as Europe faces for the coming winter a developing gas delivery crises from/through the Ukraine.

Russia in the face of increasing sanctions, is increasing its military readiness and actions, and is opening old outposts in Cuba and elsewhere.

In Summary

Okay, so what I report here is for the most part not the perception that one would get from the MSM or their friends and neighbors.

With thanks to Rich, I would like to give you this real life analogy of our world in the next few weeks. We should be so lucky.

But in real life, Lucky Ducky is about to do a U-turn and go back across its same old path. If you can't bear to watch, you can close your eyes, but you can't change channels.

Happenings At Ark Two

Activity here is intense, but I am not hearing from any great number of people that they plan to come and help sometime during the August 1st - 12th time period. I picked those dates in part because they were the earliest after July 28th that made sense, and anything much later will conflict with families who have children returning to school. But do email me NOW if you are willing to come and help.

Peace and love,

What is Important

The missiling of the Malaysian airliner has been prominent in the news. Ala Christine Lagarde type of numerology this is a Malaysian/Masonic tragedy/conspiracy. Both of the only two 777s owned by Malaysia. 777=3x7=21=2+1=3 so both are 33 = the dark symbol of 33rd degree Masonry.

That is certainly not my view - but there is much talk about how the Malaysian airliner tragedy increases the threat of conflict with Russia. Remember the Maine, Lusitania, and Pueblo,

The other prominent news item has been the conflict in Gaza/Palestine. These are just new attention getters of the day. The cumulative deaths in South America and Africa with ongoing deaths in Syria and Iraq and many other places, as ISIS and the rest of the Muslims continue to destroy each other, will certainly far surpass the number killed in the airliner.

Airliners have been shot down before:

—Oct. 20, 1998: Rebels in eastern Congo shoot down a Congo Airlines passenger jet. 40 died.
—Sept. 22, 1993: Abkhazian rebels in Georgia shoot down a passenger plane. 80 died.
—Sept. 21, 1993: Abkhazian rebels in Georgia shoot down Russian Tu-134. 28 died.
—July 3, 1988: U.S. warship Vincennes shoots down Iranian passenger jet. 290 died.
—April 10, 1988: Afghan guerrillas shoot down a Soviet-built passenger jet. 29 died.
—Sept. 1, 1983: Soviet fighter jet shoots down a Korean Air Lines (New York to Seoul) passenger jet. 269 died.
—April 20, 1978: Soviet MiG fighter attacks South Korean jetliner carrying 110 people. 2 died.
—Feb. 21, 1973: Air Force Phantom jets attack Libyan Airlines Flight 114 (Tripoli to Cairo). 108 died.



I have not included in the above:

July 17, 1996 TWA 800 out of NY in which eye witnesses say they observed a missile hitting it – and about which the investigation has been reopened. 230 died.

Nor have I included the airliner terrorist bombings/events, some of which such as Lockerbie and those involved in 9/11 were horrendous, but for the most part there have been relatively few compared to the hype about the terrorist threat.

The ongoing slaughter over the years - of children from previously undetonated land mines, and many other tragedies of war far surpass the headlined tragedies like the Malaysian planes, but neither the press nor the public seem to ever put things into perspective. Especially regarding threats in the world – as we face our greatest threat ever regarding nuclear World War Three.


Conference Report

The conference was a great success. The organizers did an absolutely tremendous job. Double last years attendance as anticipated, but in reality - given the quality of the events and the preparations made, we should have had five times the number attending. We could have handled that many more, but didn't expect them. In that we weren't disappointed. Public apathy remains immense.

The presentations were fabulous and Jean remarked how marvelous all the people were. They were truly a great bunch of people. The pictures below don't give you a real feel for the event. Because so much was going on - always at least two locations simultaneously - you never see the whole crowd. Moreover - at Ark Two itself you felt surrounded by tents and cars. We prepared a separate parking lot to handle two-hundred cars and while I am told some used it, I never got over to see it, but many just parked near the events.
Conference Stage
The Conference Stage
Our conference stage is actually our loading dock. The grey building at the back is the UAL Time Capsule, and the white plastic draped over it was for the evening movie. Towards evening many sat around campfires out in front of the stage and socialized while waiting for the movie to start after dark.

Presentations in the Hall were on both levels. This is the smaller lower level. The crowd is at the front and this mainly shows behind them. There were dozens of presentations. Jean particularly enjoyed the canning session which was on a new method that she hadn't learned from her mother. One is never too old to learn.

There was always a line up for the archery instruction by the excellent instructors, with dozens watching and more that wished to participate than could be served.

Also very popular were Karen's herbaculture nature walks. We have an immense number of varieties in Darlene's permaculture garden
Not everyone wanted to watch the rabbit skinning. If you have never seen it done, it isn't done anyway that you would imagine. (In front of the fellow in the red shirt.) This was hands on also, and a first time experience for many. Cooking was done later over an open fire.

There was also snare building and the building of a rocket stove - which I then received as a gift.

There were more sessions and subjects than one could possibly attend. I personally got to attend very few and there were some that I really wish that I could have, such as orienteering using GPS.

Current Events

From my previous newsletters, you know that I have been pointing at WHAT IS IMPORTANT regarding critical dates and events to expect this month. Not to say that the Malaysian Airliner tragedy, or something like it, couldn't be the kindling event, just like the Maine ( Spanish–American War), Lusitania (entry of the US into WW1), Pueblo (North Korea), assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria (WW1 which started a month later) and other kindling events, but that most people remain unaware of VERY IMPORTANT EVENTS while watching the three ring circus media events being noised.

At the time of my writing this - it is still too early to see the 2:00pm Saturday web event that is supposed (Hah!) to prevent WW3. (refer to previous newsletter)

Tomorrow, Sunday, July 20 is IMF Head Christine Lagarde's magic day the significance of which she couldn't know about when she announced it in the video on January 15th at the National Press Club. It is also the US and Israel's magic day because it is the Red Line deadline demanded by Israel for the Expiration of The Joint Plan of Action (JPA) that took effect on 20 January.

The US chief negotiator Wendy Sherman, undersecretary of State for political affairs; Deputy Secretary of State Bill Burns; Jake Sullivan, Vice President Joe Biden’s national security adviser; are all at the negotiating conference with Iran and even occasionally even Secretary Kerry. Ali Hosseini Khamenei is the current Supreme Leader of Iran, who said he wouldn't get involved, but has been involved all week with detailed technical speeches about Iran's nuclear activity.

The negotiations have been extended to Wednesday, the 24th, but no matter - I don't see how they can be successful and whether or not they reach an "agreement" the issue is how Israel interprets the agreement and how it privately feels about it.

Libya would be making massive headlines right now - if it were not for everything going on elsewhere. So would the Ukraine even without the Malaysian airliner, but the most potent potential confrontation of the moment remains ISIS (now called the Islamic State) and Iran / Syria / Iraq. In my previous newsletter I pointed to July 28th through to August 7th, and my reasons for believing this, so I won't belabor it now because I could write a full newsletter on the subject.

Egypt is trying to broker a truce between Hamas and Israel - but so far without success. Another subject to which I could devote an entire newsletter.

The MOST IMPORTANT NEWS this past week, in my opinion, stems from the July 15th through 17th meeting of the leaders of the BRICS (an association of five emerging economies that include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) at their Summit in Brazil. Xi Jinping, the president of China made several significant announcements, in meeting with the leaders of the other nations, about how they were no longer going to allow the US to be the reserve currency for the world.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, in their first one-on-one meeting in the Brazilian resort city of Fortaleza on Monday, spoke about resolving a border dispute that has strained ties between the two countries for decades (reportedly in Hindustan Times, The Financial Express, Livemint, Times of India, The Hindu). Modi said if the two nations amicably resolve the border issue, it would set an example for the world on peaceful conflict resolution. Xi called for a "negotiated resolution" to the boundary dispute "at an early date."

As the leaders of the world's most populated nations (and over half the world's population) come together with Russia, Brazil, and other associated BRICS nations, Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India said: "Even a child in India if asked to say who is India's best friend will reply it is Russia because Russia has been with India in times of crisis."

So what is the US position on all this? Even before the Ukraine/Malaysian event the US this week INDEPENDENTLY (that is - aside from the EU) imposed further sanctions on Russia. Putin's response was to visit Cuba and reopen the old US listening post. Listening is good. The NSA does a lot of listening, but someone is not getting someone's message. Economic wars often precede physical wars and are the cause of them, but the war games do go on as China's military will take part in an infantry exercise for the FIRST TIME with US forces.

There is so much more about WHAT IS IMPORTANT, but so much is happening in this time period leading up to August 7th, that I cannot go into any depth about it. If I have the opportunity to write another newsletter next week then I shall write more about the remaining dates in this time period, but in the interim I shall have to just refer you back to my previous newsletter. I had lots more written for this newsletter, but just had to take it out because it is already so overly long. The key, at least for those nearby, is to come and help prepare at Ark Two.


Activities at Ark Two

The activity here at Ark Two is of course intense with so much to do and so few to do it. As suggested we made an effort to find interns. In spite of my paying for our ad for interns to be on top on Kijiji, nothing came from it. About a hundred hits on Kijiji but no inquiries. Same with the supposed free listing on '20 job forums' and elsewhere such as at schools.

Not to say that we don't get some great help here. Ed repaired the fence at the compound. Robert did a great job around the Bahj'i Memorial. Jim and Brenndan are making a heroic effort on the CAT generator. Dave said today that the schematic and parts list is ready for Adam to start laying out the radio amplifier circuit board. Sameen is coordinating the Ark Two Directors TEAM, which is comprised of eleven very dynamic ladies:

Bahi'a -- my daughter that you saw on national geographic
Colleen -- coordinator of the largest Toronto preppers group - over 1400 members
Darlene -- our radio software programmer and Permaculture gardener
Francisca -- (Cisca) wife of the coordinator of the second largest Ontario preppers group
Jean -- my long suffering wife of over half a century
Jeanette -- wife of prepper Fred who has been with Ark Two for over a quarter century
Karen -- Herbaculturist and writer on the subject
Lisa -- Our Canadian Ham Coordinator
Melinda -- Our data base manager
Paty -- A business lady and supporter of our activities for a number of years
Sameen -- The emergency coordinator at a Canadian university

We hope to add a couple more ladies to our directors. This is not a facade. Because of the nature of Ark Two's mission as an underground orphanage in time of catastrophe, it is our intent that it be fully directed by the women.

We need lots of help from men also. I would like to tell you about our many ongoing projects, but once again there is too much.

Life remains enjoyable here. Noticing coming up our walk this week that Jean's lilies were in bloom. Always something different every few weeks. Tulips, poppies, and two or three other varieties. She loves her garden and animals. And the animals love her. Right to her feet whenever there is a storm. This week, she awoke from sleeping when the cat jumped on her bed with a live mouse. Hilarity ensued, on my part.

This week was her time in emergency for four hours from slamming the car door on her finger. She had pressed the lock and couldn't get it back out. I wasn't there. She does need help, if some lady reader would like to be part of Ark Two.

Peace and love,

Greetings SAFE Team!

A good life is not a trouble free life! Rather than running or trying to avoid what life throws at us, we are way better off learning to deal with such things head on! There's no shortage of problems, regardless of whether we are focused on trends foreign or domestic - things are certainly heating up.
I'm not sure just what exactly it will take to shift people from passive observers to active participants in their own schematic for survival success. However, we, at SAFE, as the "skeleton crew" have the burden of laying the foundation AND being ready to receive swelling numbers of new members whenever the "it" happens sufficient to trigger a real, committed, response.

Following the political/economic "weather report" is fine if you're looking for some type of forecast. We need to be aware but not filled with fear and despair. As I've said repeatedly in other articles, we are best served when serving others, especially when investing the time to get to know your team and neighbors before it's too late.

About 15 years ago, I remember reading a govt. report that stated that about 75% or more of the world's military conflicts would be over water! Well, out West here we have a bona fide drought of epic proportions! I just got a rationing notice. Fines and penalties are in effect. Neighbors are informing on other neighbors, even though residential water use only accounts for about 25% of total municipal water consumption. California produces about half the nation's food. Now, a good portion of those fields are left to fallow because there's not enough water. Translation: food prices will soon skyrocket.

Take the time to get connected with your productive neighbors while you still have the chance. Working together with your network will result in greatly improving your survivability. There are some great ideas out there, and many of you are doing incredible things with limited resources. You have my sincere respect and admiration.

Peace & Action,
Christopher Verreos
