Letter #68
Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is September 30, 1981,
and this is my AUDIO LETTER® No. 68.
One day last month an awkward-looking
machine in deep space listened patiently for radio signals from
Earth. The machine had left the earth some four years earlier, and
it will never return. But the machine, a space robot, felt no
loneliness. It was doing the job it had been built to do. After
plunging along through the vast reaches of deep space, it was
heading for a dramatic rendezvous. Finally, the space robot detected
the radio signals it had been waiting for. As the signals came
crackling through space from earth, they were very faint. They had
taken nearly an hour and a half to arrive due to the astronomical
distance involved. Even so, the space robot recognized the radio
commands and obeyed them. It awakened, flexed its mechanical arms
and opened its television eyes, and it radioed back to Earth that it
was ready for its awesome rendezvous in space. In Pasadena,
California, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced to reporters
that all was well. VOYAGER II was operating perfectly as it
approached that spectacular planet of rings, Saturn. And equally
important, VOYAGER II was right on course. It had been racing
through space for four years, and was nearly a billion miles away.
That’s over ten times the distance from Earth to the Sun, and yet
VOYAGER II was only three seconds off schedule after its four-year
journey.
As the VOYAGER II space robot approached Saturn, it started speeding
up. On August 25 VOYAGER II came within 63,000 miles of Saturn
itself. That’s only about one-fourth the distance from the earth to
the Moon. As it did so, it was traveling three times as fast as the
alleged Space Shuttle in orbit. Then VOYAGER II raced outward again,
passing through the mysterious rings as it went.
For days as VOYAGER II approached Saturn, flew past it, and then
left Saturn behind, we got to see full-color pictures of
what it saw. Once again scientists and non-scientists alike wanted
to know: might there be other life out there? The roiling, angry
atmosphere of Saturn itself appeared to say, “No life here.” At
least no life that you and I can imagine. Then we saw pictures of
the moons of Saturn. Scientists were puzzled and amazed by the
surprises they saw. Each moon is different from the others, and yet
as far as the question of “life” is concerned, it seems that they
are all the same—cold, frozen worlds and fragments of worlds, worlds
covered with craters like the scars of a celestial smallpox; broken
worlds having one impossible giant crater on one side and covered
with shatter lines everywhere else.
As far as “life” is concerned, Saturn turned out to be another
Jupiter. Even if some of the building blocks of life are present
here and there, no independent life seems to have gotten started
there. Up to now, man’s search of the Solar System seems to have
turned up the same answer everywhere concerning “life.” Mars looks
as if it may have held life long ago; but if so, apparently
something destroyed it. Venus is a rich planet in many ways; but due
to its heat and other factors, the richness of Venus apparently does
not include native life. As for Mercury, the innermost planet, the
prospects look even more dim. Mercury is so close to the sun that it
is believed there could be rivers of lead on the sunward side.
As I say these words, VOYAGER II is once again plunging through the
trackless void of deep space. Next stop, Uranus—five years from now.
If VOYAGER II survives that solitary journey, it may teach us still
more.
But we don’t need to wait that long to start drawing conclusions
about our own space ship, Earth. My friends, our beautiful planet
Earth is unique in our solar system. It’s just the right size to
hold the atmosphere we need to breathe and to retain the water we
need to drink, and it’s just the right distance from the sun. Much
farther away, and our planet would become too cold; much closer, and
it would become too hot. As it is, everything we need for life is
present in a God-given balance. The other planets of our solar
system are fascinating, spectacular, and perhaps even useful to man
some day; but there is no other planet so useful, so beautiful, and
so spectacular as the blue planet, planet Earth.
Today, men obsessed by greed and lust for power are threatening to
destroy what God created for you and me here on earth. They are
playing games of war with biological and chemical weapons, nuclear
weapons, and genetic engineering. They are contaminating our world
with hazardous wastes to satisfy their own selfish desires. The
present-day pilots of spaceship Earth are flying us all on a
collision course with catastrophe. If they are not stopped, we have
already seen our future through the robot eyes of VOYAGER II. The
good Earth, our God-given home, will end up as a dead and broken
world.

Topic #1
- Earlier this month, on September 10, a
two-day summit meeting between the United States and Israel ended
here in Washington. Afterward, the entities Reagan and Begin gushed
with words of mutual praise. It was as if the recent Israeli air
warfare on Iraq and Lebanon had never happened. There was not a
whisper to suggest that Washington was asking Israel to show any
restraint in the future. Instead, there were glowing words about a
major new enlargement of the strategic relationship between the
United States and Israel!
Officially, this new military relationship will focus on three major
areas:
One area of collaboration
will be the stockpiling of American war materiel in Israel.
Supposedly this will include everything from medical supplies to
tanks and other weapons for the so-called Rapid Deployment
Force. The stockpiling of American weapons in Israel is being
presented to the public as if it were a new development, but the
fact is that this has been going on in secret for years. I first
reported about this in my AUDIO LETTERS as long as six years ago
in the autumn of 1975. In AUDIO LETTER No. 6, especially, I
reported the stockpiling of American weapons, including
battlefield nuclear weapons, in Israel. They were there as part
of the long-range preparations for the coming limited nuclear
strike by Israel against the Saudi Arabian oil fields. Today,
six years later, those plans are coming closer and closer to
being carried out.
The second major area of American and Israeli cooperation
announced this month involves joint strategic planning and
sharing of Intelligence. Here again, the public is being told
that this will be something new, while in reality it is already
established practice. When Israel destroyed the Iraqi nuclear
plant last June with American F-16s, it was only part of a
larger joint strategy. Likewise, the Reagan Administration plan
to sell AWACS radar planes to Saudi Arabia has the secret
approval of Israel. It is intended to help give Israel the
pretext, the excuse it needs, for attacking the Saudi oil
fields. I have reported in detail about these joint strategic
plans by Israel and the United States in recent tapes. Likewise,
I’ve reported in the past about other aspects of this ongoing
joint military planning.
My friends, there is nothing new about
it at all. The Reagan-Begin team also proclaimed the initiation of a
third major area of military cooperation. We’re told that the
military forces of the United States and Israel will start holding
joint exercises and war games. As with the rest of the package deal,
we’re supposed to believe that this is something new; but the fact
is that far more than practice exercises have been carried out
already by Israel and the United States—not mere exercises but
actual joint military operations have taken place several times in
recent years.
Up to now, all these joint military operations have been covert; all
have been totally hidden from public view except one. That one
exception was “OPERATION GUYANA” in November 1978. That case was
unique because a headline-making event was used as a cover for the
secret military operation itself. We were not allowed to hear any
news reports about the secret American-Israeli Commando raid into
Guyana that month. Our Government had never admitted that there was
a Russian missile base there, and so we were not told about it when
that base was destroyed; but we did see the stomach-turning event
which was staged first in order to make the Commando raid
possible—the Jonestown massacre!
A few days ago the only American trial in connection with the Guyana
tragedy ended in mistrial. Larry Layton, a former member of the Jim
Jones cult, had been seized upon as a scapegoat; but Layton was no
more than a bit player on the Guyana stage, and his trial ended with
a hopelessly deadlocked jury.
Meanwhile, the real culprits at Jonestown have gone scot-free
because the real criminals, my friends, are the members of the
secret joint military junta of the United States and Israel. In
AUDIO LETTER No. 67 last month, I called attention to this joint
military junta and its growing power, and now the outcome of the
Reagan-Begin meeting this month has given public confirmation of
this junta’s existence. The broad strategic relationship between the
United States and Israel is not new as claimed.
What is new is that the joint Bolshevik-Zionist junta is
increasingly going public. As their power grows, they are flaunting
that power more and more. It is just one more symptom of the
Bolshevik-Zionist mentality I discussed last month. Once they
acquire power, these people always go too far. The Reagan-Begin Axis
is at the very center of an expanding whirlpool of world crises.
World trouble spots are continuing to multiply. The Bolshevik
strategy to prepare the world for war, which I revealed last spring
in AUDIO LETTER No. 63, is having its effect. Slowly but surely the
whole world is being sucked up into the swirling vortex of tension
and conflict; and at the very center, the Reagan-Begin Axis is
stirring the pot faster and faster. The growing storm of world
conflict right now is centered in the Middle East. In the eye of the
storm sits Israel. Moving outward from Israel in any direction there
is growing turmoil.
First, look to the north at Lebanon. After Begin left Washington
this month, the Israelis wasted no time in once again heating up
their running battle with the PLO. On September 17, a scant week
after the Reagan-Begin meeting, there were two large bomb explosions
in northern and southern Lebanon. As usual, PLO guerrillas were
supposed to be the targets; but also, as usual, those who were
actually killed by the Israeli blasts were mostly civilians,
including many women and children. Those two bombings killed over 40
people and injured over 100.
Their intended purpose was to provoke retaliatory raids against
Israel by the PLO so that the Israeli government can shout about
their enemy being the PLO menace; but the PLO has not yet obliged
the Israelis by striking back. The Israelis are in a hurry to whip
up new war tensions, so there have been more Israeli bombings in
Lebanon in recent days, and they will continue. The Israelis intend
to goad the PLO however long it takes to provoke a counterattack.
Then, when that happens, the resulting Israeli casualties will be
big news in Israel and America. Prime Minister Begin will be seen
speaking self-righteously of the unacceptable threat that continues
to come from the PLO, and he will make sure to mention Saudi Arabia
as the real culprit for bank-rolling the PLO. In this way, my
friends, Israeli terrorism in Lebanon is actually being aimed at
Saudi Arabia!
Lately the Israeli government has been talking about a permanent
solution to the alleged problem of PLO raids against Israel. It
started two months ago after an alleged PLO attack killed and
injured several Israelis. Begin announced that Israel was going to
put a stop to these raids, quote: “once and for all.” A few days
later the Israeli Air Force horrified the world by its all-out
bombing of Beirut and all of southern Lebanon.
Now the Israelis are goading the PLO into striking again; and if
they do, the Israeli government will say, in effect, that hitting
guerilla bases in Lebanon will never provide the permanent solution
desired. Instead, Begin’s accusing finger will point
more and more at Saudi Arabia. My friends, it’s all part of the
build-up to the planned limited nuclear strike by Israel on the
Saudi oil fields.
Meanwhile the Reagan end of the Reagan-Begin Axis is hard at work on
the planned AWACS radar plane sale to Saudi Arabia. That’s intended
to be just one more nail in Saudi Arabia’s coffin by making Saudi
Arabia look like a direct threat to Israel. As it stands right now,
there’s a chance that the AWACS sale will not be approved by
Congress. This is a result of the hidden power struggle now dividing
the United States Government. But even if AWACS does not go through,
the Reagan-Begin team have an ace in the hole. Britain has already
promised to fill the breach if the AWACS deal falls through. If not
AWACS, then the Saudis can buy a similar British plane called
“Nimrod”; and for purposes of giving Israel a pretext for attack,
Nimrod will serve very well indeed.
In addition to Saudi Arabia, Syria is being drawn into the web of
Israeli war plans by way of Lebanon. We Americans often forget that
Syria, unlike Israel, has a legal right to be in Lebanon. The
Lebanese government invited Syria into Lebanon to put a halt to
fighting between the rightists and leftists of Lebanon itself. The
Syrians are there as the main body of an Arab peace-keeping force;
and, my friends, the Syrians have not been asked to leave. By
contrast, Israel possesses no legal right whatsoever to conduct
military operations of any kind in Lebanon—but to those who rule
Israel, might makes right. Lebanon is weak and Israel is strong, so
the Israelis consider it their right to attack real or imagined
enemies at will in Lebanon.
Late last April, Israeli jets shot down two Syrian helicopters. The
Syrians, who, I repeat, are in Lebanon legally, responded by
bringing anti-aircraft missiles into that area of Lebanon. The
Israelis, who had no right to be there in the first place,
immediately cried “foul.” A crisis erupted over the Syrian SAM
missiles.
For over three months now, the crisis over the Syrian missiles has
been dormant. Israel has been busying itself in other ways. It has
destroyed the Iraqi nuclear plant and carried out genocide raids
against the residents of Beirut. In the meantime, the Syrian
anti-aircraft missiles have not injured Israel. But now the Israelis
are ready to stoke up trouble with Syria again, and so just in the
past few days the entity Begin has abruptly revived the Syrian
missile issue. He is saying that they must be removed without delay.
Otherwise, says Begin, Israel will not be responsible for the
consequences. Can you imagine? If Syria can somehow be drawn into
the vortex of Middle East war tensions, it will help bring NUCLEAR
WAR ONE one step closer. Syria is a client state of Russia with the
closest ties to Russia of any Arab state. The Syrian SAM missiles in
Lebanon are Russian-made. Should the Begin government engineer a
military confrontation with Syria, Russia could not ignore it.
And then there is Egypt. The entity known as President Sadat is
being programmed now to self-destruct. In recent weeks he has
suddenly shed the modern image which had been cultivated for Western
eyes. Instead, now there is Sadat’s crackdown on all opposition. It
is his crackdown on religious opposition that has made most of the
headlines, but there is more involved too; for example: special
security police are now being planted on the university campuses of
Egypt to squash any student protests against Sadat. For the moment,
these tactics may appear to make
Sadat’s grip on his country more secure, but the longer-term effect
will be the opposite. Like the late Shah of Iran, the entity Sadat
will be undone by all these repressive tactics. It is only a matter
of time before “assassination politics” puts an end to the Sadat era
in Egypt.
The end of Sadat, or the entity known as Sadat, will also spell the
end of the Camp David peace accords, so called. Other Arab leaders,
including influential leaders in Egypt itself, are against the Camp
David approach. The events now taking place in Egypt are setting the
stage for collapse of the so-called Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty.
As I detailed long ago in AUDIO LETTER No. 44, that was always the
intention of those in the United States and Israel who brought about
the treaty. As a former CIA operative revealed to me in this
connection, quote:
“To have a war, you first have to
have a peace treaty. Then break the treaty, and presto—WAR.”
Already the contrived era of good
feeling between Israel and Egypt is beginning to suffer. Earlier
this month on September 12 Egypt canceled a scheduled visit to Egypt
by Israeli military officers. The reason: Israel’s Defense Minister
had said in public that Sadat will not be around long!
Under the terms of the Egyptian-Israeli treaty, Israel is scheduled
to complete its withdrawal from the Sinai next April 1982. In the
process, two large Israeli Air Bases in the Sinai will also pass
into Egyptian hands—that is, if the treaty provisions are carried
out. The demise of Sadat, or even a weakening of the present
Egyptian government, may provide Israel with sufficient pretext not
to withdraw. At the same time, plans are also being laid again to
trigger a major incident in the Sinai. This was part of the plan I
first made public six years ago, and it’s once again part of the
plan now.
Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt—all these nearby Arab
neighbors of Israel are in the front lines of the Reagan-Begin war
maneuvering, but the whirlpool expands outward from there. When
Israeli battlefield atomic weapons cap off Saudi Arabia’s oil
fields, it will send shock waves through the industrialized world.
It will cripple the industrial heart of Europe, it will provide the
excuse for gas rationing here in the United States as our country
secretly shifts onto a war footing, and it will increase the
strategic importance of oil-rich Iran just across the Persian Gulf.
Under the so-called Khomeini regime, Iran is producing far less oil
than its capacity. With Saudi Arabia gone, substandard production
from Iran will seem intolerable to the world. On top of that, the
Reagan Administration will remind us of Iran’s geographic location.
Nestled along the strategic underbelly of Russia, we will be told
that Iran is in danger. But to the Bolshevik military junta in
America, Iran’s real attraction is offensive in nature. Because of
its location, Iran is an ideal base from which to attack Russia.
It’s no accident, my friends, that Iran is now heading down the road
to civil war! For the past several months, top members of the Moslem
ruling circles in Iran have been the targets of assassination,
including several major bombing incidents.
The process now under way in Iran is the one I warned about two
years ago in AUDIO LETTER No. 52. In that report I detailed how the
Khomeini government came to power in the first place. It was helped
along by forces of which it was not even aware—Bolshevik forces. In
AUDIO LETTER No. 52 I stated that, quote: “They plan to martyr the
entire Khomeini government as they set off thermonuclear war.” And
that’s what’s going on now, my friends. The first to be martyred was
the real Ayatollah Khomeini himself in February 1980. I reported his
death and replacement by a “double” in AUDIO LETTER No. 54. Now, the
rest of his regime is being cut down for purposes of war.
Elsewhere around the world, the war plans of the Bolshevik-Zionist
military junta are also moving forward. On the surface, many of
these other world tensions have no apparent connection with the
ferment in the Middle East and Persian Gulf; but behind closed
doors, there are connections! What links them all together is the
MASTER PLAN which is to bring nuclear war out of a world in crisis.
A prominent example of this is Poland. A few weeks ago the so-called
Solidarity Labor Union celebrated its first anniversary in Poland.
Last year I reported that Solidarity had been created by the
Bolsheviks for the purpose of bringing on war. As I explained then,
Solidarity’s true purpose is not to serve the workers of Poland but
to use them. The whole purpose of Solidarity is to create as much
trouble as possible for Russia including, if possible, revolution.
During the year that has passed, Solidarity has behaved exactly as I
told you it would act. Solidarity never rests for a moment to
consolidate its gains. Instead, the moment one set of demands are
satisfied by the Polish government, new and even greater demands are
put forth by Solidarity. The workers who form the backbone of
Solidarity’s power have not been given a moment to taste the fruits
of success. Instead, there have only been strikes, protests, more
strikes, strife and turmoil. As a result, the vulnerable economy of
Poland has been thrown into a tailspin; and now, having helped to
create Poland’s worsening economic problems, Solidarity’s leaders
are demanding greater power to control the economy.
To see how extreme Solidarity has been in its behavior over the past
year, just compare it with the labor unions in the West. We are used
to unions that bargain, make contracts, and then abide by them for
some agreed period. No union in America, for example, would even
dream of demanding a new contract with greater demands every few
weeks. But that, my friends, is exactly what Solidarity has been
doing in Poland. In recent AUDIO LETTER reports, I’ve mentioned that
the Bolsheviks and Zionists are shooting for war to break out around
mid-1982. Events in the Middle East are being pushed along on that
timetable, and so are those in Poland.
By next summer at the latest the
Bolsheviks are convinced that Russia will have to act against
Solidarity. The resulting bloodshed will be just one more spark to
help ignite NUCLEAR WAR ONE. All around the world the Bolshevik
caldron of crises is bubbling hotter and hotter. United States
rhetoric against Castro’s Cuba is heating up once again. El Salvador
is simmering with new turmoil, and half a world away tensions are
growing between Pakistan and India. The Reagan Administration is
promising F-16s to Pakistan. In lightning response, Russia has
already delivered superfast MiG-25s to India; and one day, my
friends, India will stun the world by inviting Russian soldiers into
India!
The objective of the Reagan-Begin Axis is to stir up the whole world
for war; and, my friends, they are succeeding.
Topic #2
- According to the schedule announced by
NASA several months ago, today was supposed to be the launch day for
America’s second space shuttle flight. But once again the space
shuttle has suddenly started encountering new delays. The first
delay was announced several weeks ago when the shuttle was rolled
out to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The roll-out took
place on August 31, five days behind schedule. NASA spokesmen said
that the launch date was being moved back from September 30 to
October 9. “No big deal”, they said, “just a few minor bugs to be
worked out.” For the next few weeks, occasional news reports from
the Kennedy Space Center continued to assure us that all was well
with the shuttle. Then came September 22, and suddenly everything
changed. We were told that just past midnight the previous night an
accident had occurred on the launch pad. Supposedly the mishap took
place while the control rockets in the nose of the space shuttle
were being fueled up. NASA spokesmen said that nitrogen tetroxide
oxidizer was spilled on the outside of the shuttle, affecting
several hundred of the critical thermal tiles. Those life-and-death
tiles, my friends, are stuck to the shuttle with glue, and it was
said that 60 or 70 of them fell off after the leak took place. In
addition, perhaps 250 more tiles would have to be removed to check
them for damage.
Suddenly the October 9 launch date went out the window. As of now,
NASA says that the launch will probably take place in late October
or early November. But, my friends, don’t hold your breath waiting
for that. These last-minute delays of the second space shuttle
launch are the result of important divisions within the Space
Shuttle Program. If those divisions and arguments are not resolved
soon, there will be still more delays. To understand what is
happening right now at Cape Canaveral, it’s necessary to remember
what has happened up to now with the space shuttle. To begin with,
it’s essential to understand that the space shuttle is a military
program wearing a civilian disguise. All kinds of potentially
fascinating and valuable scientific space missions have been
scrapped by NASA. Everything is being cut to the bone except the
Space Shuttle Program. Right now, NASA is trying to cancel a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to intercept and study Halley’s comet
in 1986; but at the same time NASA is also talking about building a
fifth space shuttle just to have a spare on hand. The reason the
space shuttle is so crucial is that it is America’s only hope for
regaining military use of space.
Up until four years ago this month the United States had a secret
military stranglehold on space; but in September 1977 the Soviet
Union began a surprise offensive in space to change all that, and
change it they did! The decisive turning point came on September 27,
1977. On that day the secret American military Moon Base in
Copernicus Crater was put out of action. That was the outcome of
history’s first true space battle, the “Battle of the Harvest Moon.”
It was a battle of beam weapons and it took place in secret, and yet
it was the most decisive battle of the 20th Century because from
that moment on, my friends, Russia began seizing total control of
the military use of space!
When those secret events took place four years ago, the Space
Shuttle Program froze in its tracks. The hard-liners then in
control of the Kremlin had slammed shut the military door to space.
Soon we started hearing excuse after excuse for delays in the space
shuttle. Especially, there were all those stories about problems
with the thermal tiles of the shuttle. Years passed, and the shuttle
stayed grounded. Meanwhile America’s military capability in space
withered. In October 1977 SKYLAB was shot down by a Russian Cosmos
Interceptor. SKYLAB had been a vital way station in America’s
secretly continuing Moon Program. By destroying it, Russia made sure
that America’s eviction from the moon was permanent.
Meanwhile, the Russians themselves began landing on the moon without
public fanfare. For nearly four years now, Russian beam weapons have
been stationed on the moon, pointed at the Earth! When the Russians
shot down SKYLAB, they did so over the United States. The result was
a giant fireball breaking up into pieces. It was seen in half a
dozen states from Texas to Missouri. NASA waited a week or so for
headlines about the mysterious fireball to die down, then it began a
long drawn out cover-up of the SKYLAB debacle. NASA pretended that
SKYLAB was unexpectedly sinking from orbit, and just for good
measure they also pretended that the space shuttle might be able to
save SKYLAB. It all sounded good to an unsuspecting public; but the
shuttle stayed grounded, and at last NASA pretended that SKYLAB had
crashed half a world away over the Indian Ocean. In addition to
SKYLAB, the United States lost its space reconnaissance capabilities
to Russian Cosmos Interceptors.
By the spring of 1978, the United States
no longer had any spy or early-warning satellites gathering
information over Russia! From time to time since then, spy
satellites have been launched by the United States. Some of these
have succeeded in gathering Intelligence briefly over other areas of
the world; but as soon as they pass over the Soviet Union, they are
always destroyed. As a result, the United States no longer has
up-to-date reconnaissance data on the Soviet Union!
Without reconnaissance data, my friends, all the weapons in the
world are next to useless. America’s military planners know well
enough where Russia’s cities are and where critical military
installations were four years ago; but without fresh reconnaissance,
they have no way of knowing about new targets which might now be
more important. On top of that, Russia is now deploying anti-missile
defenses based on beam weapons. Without fresh reconnaissance data,
there would be little hope of getting American missiles through
those defenses; and so over the past four years reconnaissance has
become the No. 1 strategic problem of the United States. There are
plenty of other problems too, because we have nothing equivalent to
Russia’s Space Triad of weapons. But without reconnaissance, even
the weapons we do have are of little use.
The Bolshevik military planners here are determined to launch a
nuclear first strike against Russia, come what may! I have reported
many details about that in the past, and will not go into it again
right now; but with that in mind, they have been doing everything
they can think of to solve the critical reconnaissance problem.
One of their earliest and most desperate ideas was one which took
place in April 1978. I reported the details in AUDIO LETTER No. 33.
The American CIA, working closely with its counterpart the Korean
CIA, arranged for a civilian airliner to be used for Intelligence
gathering. That was the case of Korean Airlines flight 902. You may
recall it took off from Europe for the
United States, but flew into northern Russia instead. It was
secretly equipped with special photographic and electronic
Intelligence gear, and flew into some of the most sensitive airspace
in all of Russia. In effect, the unsuspecting passengers were used
as hostages to discourage the Russians from shooting it down right
away. Eventually Russian Fighters did bring it down, but only after
considerable Intelligence had been obtained and transmitted.
The Korean air liner ploy was successful as a stopgap trick, but
reconnaissance data can hardly be obtained that way as a routine
practice, and so for the past three years we’ve been hearing more
and more about reconnaissance aircraft.
Supposedly these were made almost
obsolete for most strategic purposes by spy satellites, but now they
are once again in the news because we don’t have spy satellites on
continuous duty any more. One reconnaissance airplane we hear more
and more about these days is the SR-71 Blackbird. The latest SR-71
incident took place on August 26 when North Korea supposedly tried
to shoot one down. And then there is that famous predecessor of the
SR-71, the U-2. It was a U-2 that was flown by the late Francis Gary
Powers when he was shot down over Russia 21 years ago. You might
think that the U-2 was ready for the history books in this age of
alleged spy satellites, but No. Now the U-2 is back, all dressed up
and modernized with the new designation TR-1, and its job now, as
always, is reconnaissance.
If we still had all those reconnaissance satellites in the sky,
reconnaissance aircraft would be less important. Naturally the
Bolsheviks here try not to let you suspect the truth about our
missing satellites, but every now and then there are hints about the
truth in the news. For example, only yesterday the Defense
Department released a new 99-page propaganda booklet titled “SOVIET
MILITARY POWER.” It purports to give the public previously top
secret information about the military build-up in Russia, and yet
the booklet contains only sketches—no satellite photos. Why? Because
the Defense Department does not have any up-to-date satellite photos
of Russia. Our spy satellites are long gone.
Up to now the secret Bolshevik military planners here have been
making do with inferior methods of reconnaissance. But before they
set off NUCLEAR WAR ONE, they want better reconnaissance data on
Russia. They have only one tool that offers any hope of doing the
job, and that is the space shuttle. We’ve been told by NASA that
there are to be four initial test flights of the space shuttle
“Columbia.” After those are completed, perhaps as early as September
1982, the shuttle will be declared operational. But the fact is, my
friends, that these first four flights are being used for secret
military purposes. The stakes are so high that the secret military
shuttle planning team is prepared to lose a shuttle on each flight
if need be. Before the “Columbia” lifted off from Cape Canaveral
last April, three more identical orbiters were already in existence.
They are hidden away in a remote hangar at White Sands Missile Range
in New Mexico.
The primary goal of the secret military shuttle flights is the one I
detailed in AUDIO LETTER No. 62. They are trying to use the space
shuttle to orbit a sophisticated new spy satellite to fly over
Russia. It’s an armored laser-firing satellite designed to survive
attacks by Russian space weapons long enough to radio back
reconnaissance data. After that, the Bolsheviks here will be ready
to set off the American nuclear first strike against Russia.
In order to carry out reconnaissance over Russia, a spy satellite
has to fly far to the north. That kind of orbit is far different
from that which is publicly claimed for the space shuttle. As a
result, a shuttle returning to Earth after deploying a spy satellite
is unable to land at the advertised time and place. Instead, the
shuttle we see taking off from Florida is scheduled to land out of
our sight at a secret location in western Australia—that is, if it
survives the flight. Meanwhile, a different shuttle, the training
shuttle “Enterprise”, is shown on TV landing right on schedule at
Edwards Air Force Base.
When the “Columbia” blasted off from Florida last April, it was
attacked and destroyed by Russian space weapons, as I detailed in
AUDIO LETTER No. 64. But the training shuttle “Enterprise”,
re-labeled “Columbia”, thrilled the public by racing in from the sea
and landing in California. The covered exit vehicle was wheeled up,
and it was made to appear that astronauts Young and Crippen walked
out. The public perception was maintained that the mission had been
a success, but it was actually a catastrophe even worse than the
Bolsheviks here had thought possible.
The military shuttle planners were thrown into disarray over what to
do next. In AUDIO LETTER No. 65 three months ago I described their
disagreements and what they finally decided to do. After delaying
for a week or so, they sent the training shuttle “Enterprise” to
Florida in order to buy some time. It is the “Enterprise”, a
training shuttle not intended for orbital flight, that is now on the
pad at the Kennedy Space Center. When the secret military shuttle
team sent the “Enterprise” to Florida, they were planning to use it
in an intentionally aborted launch—that is, their plan has been to
launch the “Enterprise”, then let one of its engines shut down
early. That would lead to a return of the “Enterprise” to Cape
Canaveral only minutes after its take off. By staging this show, the
shuttle planners were expecting to keep the program alive in the
public eye. Meanwhile they would use the time to make modifications
to the next shuttle mission plan to give it a better chance of
success. As it stands now, the shuttle “Enterprise” is still
programmed for an artificial abort shortly after take off. But the
arguments among the shuttle planners, which I reported last June,
have multiplied during the summer. Several members of the group are
getting very cold feet over the deliberate abort plan. They’re
saying: “Suppose something we don’t plan causes real damage to the
Enterprise. Suppose Ivan decides to blow it out of the sky even
though it is still in camera range. We have to have the Enterprise
for the public return segment after each mission. What if we lose
it?”
Other shuttle planners are expressing a completely different worry.
This second group is not worried about the Russians shooting down
the “Enterprise” because it will pose no threat to Russia. What they
are worried about is the public relations impact of an aborted take
off. It has even been suggested that a full orbital launch of the
“Enterprise” ought to be considered.
The “Enterprise” could not do anything
once it got into orbit because the cargo bay is occupied by special
fuel tanks, but the
viewing public would never know that, thanks to the simulation films
which could be broadcast; and as for re-entry, the
“Enterprise” is covered with the same system of thermal tiles as the
standard shuttles. The first group says that that plan is
not good because those tiles still have never been proven in
full-fledged re-entry from orbit. The “Columbia” was supposed to
do that last April but it never got that far. The “Enterprise” might
get past the Russians only to disintegrate on re-entry; and that,
say the worriers, would be impossible to hide. It would stop the
program.
Out of all those arguments and others like them, only one consensus
has emerged. The only purpose of sending the “Enterprise” to Florida
was to buy time. Meanwhile one of the three secret shuttles at White
Sands is now being modified for the next mission. All NASA cares
about doing now is to continue to buy time with the “Enterprise” for
a while longer. Then somehow it will have to be returned to White
Sands and the new shuttle will have to be brought to the Cape. And
so, for the moment at least, the “Enterprise” is being used to buy
time through launch delays instead of an aborted launch. For three
years stories about the thermal tiles of the shuttle were used as an
excuse for the prolonged grounding of the “Columbia.” Now, NASA is
trying once again to buy time; and once again an alleged problem
with the thermal tiles is being used to explain away delay. We’re
told that there was a rocket fuel leak in the dead of night, and so
the tiles came off. Only when NASA is sure what to do next will the
latest tile fiasco quietly go away.
Topic #3
- Two days ago the week began with bad
news from the Stock Exchanges of the world. Investors abroad were
convinced that stocks on Wall Street were about to take a plunge and
they were trying to get out ahead of that. When the Markets opened
later in New York, at first they did drop fast. But the Stock Market
manipulators here are not quite ready yet for a full-fledged Stock
Market crash, so the New York Markets abruptly turned around and
headed up. By the end of the trading day, the manipulators had
driven the market up to an over-all gain for the day. A world-wide
Stock Market panic was postponed on Monday. Even so, the experience
has given public proof of the instability of the stock market today.
Two years ago in AUDIO LETTER No. 51 I gave a detailed warning of
the parallels between the stock market today and that of 1929. The
stock market has been crashing downward in slow motion in terms of
real value for years now, and soon the stock market roller coaster
will jump the tracks and down it will go! One of the strong
similarities between today and 1929 is the role being played by the
private Federal Reserve Corporation. Now, as then, the Federal
Reserve is deliberately ruining the economy through contraction of
money and credit. The excuse given is the alleged fight against
inflation. We’re told that interest rates have to be high because
inflation is high, but there is a glaring discrepancy in that
explanation for current Federal Reserve policies. According to
official Government figures, the inflation rate is now around 10%.
Based on all past experience, that would mean interest rates should
also be around 10% - about equal to inflation; but instead, the “Fed”
has pushed interest rates up to a 20% range, double the official
inflation rate! The fact is, my friends, that Government figures on
real inflation are lies, and so are the Federal Reserve’s excuses
for legalized usury.
Last month I described the real purpose of current Federal Reserve
policies. Business here is being deliberately weakened and made ripe
for take-over. The only businesses which are not being hurt are
those of the Rockefeller Cartel, which are interlocked with the
Federal Reserve Corporation. The Corporate Fascists here are waging
economic war to gain power against the State Bolsheviks in the
Government, so don’t look for any relief.
Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker testified before Congress late
last month that astronomical interest rates will continue for years.
Most small businesses cannot possibly earn the 20% profit and more
that is required to pay such exorbitant interest, and so they will
simply die. Meanwhile, Rockefeller Cartel agents within the divided
United States Government are pressing ahead fast with another facet
of their plan.
Last month I gave an alert to watch for an alleged new gold standard
to be proposed soon by the so-called Reagan Administration. Sure
enough, within the past few weeks, talk of a gold standard has
started mushrooming all around us. Suddenly “Letters to the Editor”
are being published on this topic which would have been ignored a
few years ago. Even the entity Vice-President Bush is talking about
returning to a gold standard. And Business Week has just published a
cover story in its September 21 edition entitled, quote: “A Return
To The Gold Standard—Why Reagan might try it, How it would be done,
How it might work.”
So far the bogus gold standard plan is right on track. As I detailed
last month, it would not be a real gold standard at all. It’s only a
gimmick to influence public perceptions about the dollar and to
silence new questions about our missing gold. It’s being designed to
look good, but it’s just another corrupt and cruel trick.
My friends, corruption has become the only way our leaders know. The
long-suffering American people always give the benefit of the doubt
to every new president, and it’s always in vain. The same is true of
Congress today—the more they legislate, the more the country “goes
to the dogs”; but while they are in office we try to tell ourselves
that surely they must be doing some things in our interest. Years
later, after it is too late, of course, sometimes we learn a little
bit of the truth. A book comes out documenting the large number of
bribes taken by a former president, or a former Congressman is
indicted for Income Tax evasion; but we always tell ourselves:
“Surely it is different this time.” We want to believe in our
leaders; and so we rationalize away the lies, the double dealing,
and the corruption we see for as long as possible. Our leaders know
this is how we think, and they use it against us.
The entity President Reagan says we must put our economic house in
order. Based on that excuse, domestic programs of all kinds are
being cut down with a meat ax regardless of merit. Spending on
warfare leaves nothing for welfare, and yet most foreign aid is
going on untouched! The only exception to that is aid to truly needy
countries in the Third World. They have no usefulness to the urgent
plans for nuclear war, and so they are finding themselves “out in
the cold”; but foreign aid to help prepare for war goes right on
without letup.
Most sacrosanct of all foreign aid programs are the annual billions
in aid to Israel. Over the past 33 years the United States has given
over 100-billion dollars ($100,000,000,000) in aid to Israel. Those
very same dollars—our tax money—come right back to Capitol Hill and
American multinational corporations. American tax dollars flow like
water through Israeli hands into Congressional wallets, giving the
Israeli Lobby its clout! American foreign aid dollars to Israel are
also used to buy American-made weapons of war. Those weapons will
one day drag you and me into America’s final war—NUCLEAR WAR ONE.
If our leaders were serious about straightening out our economy,
there are many things they could do. To begin with, they should
start telling the truth for a change, instead of heaping lies on
more lies. Instead of a falsified gold standard, the scandal over
our missing gold should be exposed! As I explained in AUDIO LETTER
No. 60, this could be done in connection with an international
economic conference in a way that would save the world’s economy.
The Administration’s meat ax approach to domestic programs should
also be scrapped. Yes, my friends, many domestic programs are
controversial—some of them deserve to be; but let’s put first things
first.
Before we take a meat ax to domestic aid, why don’t we start with
foreign aid—alias Congressional aid. At least a dollar spent in
domestic programs keeps circulating within our own economy; but
those squandered on foreign aid do our economy, as a whole, no good.
And as for Congress, if a meat ax should be wielded anywhere, that
is where! More and more we’re hearing about employees of all kinds
of companies accepting wage cuts to help save their companies.
Meanwhile our spend-thrift Congress has just voted itself the right
to line its pockets even more than in the past!
I say:
Chop all federal salaries in half,
starting with Congress. We cannot afford to let them fiddle any
more while our economy burns.
It’s time, my friends, to hold their
feet to the fire.
LAST MINUTE SUMMARY
Now it’s time for my Last Minute Summary. In this AUDIO LETTER I’ve
tried to sound a warning that time is growing short—economically,
politically, and militarily. Men of ill will and corrupt minds are
piloting our world on a collision course with disaster.
As Americans await the next space shuttle launch, a greater
countdown is underway for spaceship Earth. One day in January 1986,
the Voyager II spacecraft is scheduled to be approaching the giant
mystery planet Uranus. Voyager will be preparing to send a bonanza
of pictures and scientific data to Earth. But by then, will anyone
be listening to Voyager here on Earth? The answer can be Yes, my
friends, if the truth of our Lord Jesus Christ becomes the guiding
light for our troubled world. We must learn to build, instead of
destroy; we must learn peace, instead of war, through universal
neutrality and noble competition, instead of conquest and intrigue.
If we do not learn these things, there may be only silence on Earth
by that winter of 1986. Nine years after its launch from the blue
pearl of planet Earth, Voyager II could be radioing signals to a
deaf, gray tomb of a world. That will leave Voyager itself carrying
the final sounds of Earth on a platinum record as it drifts alone
forever outward to the stars.
Until next month, God willing, this is Dr. Beter. Thank you, and may
God bless each and every one of you.
