Thank you for the intermission. Ashtar returned and ready to resume transmission.

SELF-PROTECTION AND EXPEDIENT SHELTER

THE FACTS ARE:

1. THE NUCLEAR THREAT TO EACH INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN IS IMMEDIATE AND SEVERE; NO MATTER WHOM THE ENEMY.

2. PROTECTION FROM THIS THREAT CAN OE PROVIDED BY KNOWN TECHNIQUES.

In view of these facts, there are two rational positions: a call for immediate national civil defense and strategic defense deployment. Or a call for individually financed self-protection and expedient shelter. These are respectively the optimistic and pessimistic positions.

Once you are sheltered in such manner, friends of Earth, we will show you how to protect yourselves from all that comes after that. How to have livestock and place them in protection, etc. But, you would continue to thrive in business and market exchange while you "wait".

You have a major market and economic collapse headed your way imminently--you must act quickly and get your resources in hand for these installations. You must somehow interrupt the massive flow of money leaving your country and lost to your banking system (see SPIRAL TO ECONOMIC DISASTER) immediately. You will not have a base for anything very shortly. You will, however, have it longer to some extent if you stop the outflow now. Further, if your economy could be somewhat boosted by "production of goods" for your shelter system you might stave off the monetary collapse a bit longer in order to get a foundation under you whereby, you can survive that potential devastation and buy additional time. If you are to manage to survive as a nation and a people, you must reclaim that which is yours. YOU CAN IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO.

OPTIMISTIC GOVERNMENT PARTICIPATION

On the optimistic side, through enlightenment of your people and the intervention of We who are sent forth from the outer cosmos, by God, your nation's voters can be convinced to get the government to provide what is required for your defense instead of dribble it away to the corners of the wind and for the elite traitors. With that defense, you will deter nuclear war. You might even prevent it. If not, at least your civilization and your values will survive such an event. If, on the other hand, one assumes that your government will continue to leave you defenseless and will not be convinced to do otherwise, and if one assumes that nuclear war is inevitable and cannot be deterred, then all that is left is pessimism and emergency self-help.

SELF-HELP

By means of this approach, highly motivated individuals can save their own lives, at least for a short period during and after a nuclear attack. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of your people are likely to survive nuclear war through only self-protection unless you have massive and every individual participation. Would it be hopeless? Perhaps, in that scenario, for your peoples are evil infected, addicted as a whole and show very little potential to change unless mightily motivated.

Nevertheless, the authors felt they would not have completed their contribution without a few paragraphs about a self-protection plan for civilians.

A family blast shelter along the lines described herein, can be constructed at a one-of-a-kind cost of about $2,000 per person. (A lot less than the cost of a cheap auto.) It should be located under or very near the family home. The protection and habitability requirements are, of course, qualitatively the same as for the 150 person shelters. Crowded occupancy can be avoided in family shelters, which should have at least 10 to 20 square feet per person. Additional protection can be provided by locating the home itself in a remote, rural area.

This will require substantial commitments of time and money and perhaps I substantial alterations in one's life.

It is important, however, not to make "survival" such a way of life that it detracts substantially from one's quality of life. Investment in nuclear war survival should be like buying an insurance policy. Spend the money, get the insurance, hope you'll not ever need it, then go on about your life.

But you must understand that there are great earth upheavals headed your way and you will need these shelters. Also, if each family home has security facilities, it is so much more comfortable and emotionally supportive for the family unit. Further, you will be prepared for any event that should unexpectedly strike you of a natural disaster type manifestation.

LAST RESORT---DIG

If no community shelter and no personal family shelter is built prior to nuclear attack, then there is still one last desperate action available to you. Procure a shovel, buy a copy of Cresson Kearny's NUCLEAR WAR SURVIVAL SKILLS, and hope and pray that the enemy will be so foolish as to give you 24 to 48 hours warning (well, hope your own government will is more appropriate), follow the book's instruction, drive out into the country, and DIG.

Most of you won't make it.

For the million who might make it under such circumstances, however, the effort should provide some additional months of hard life. Maybe you can even find a way to fit into the tyranny that will come during the following years.

In any case, saved lives are saved lives, and the patriotic and dedicated scientists and engineers who developed these expedient survival techniques can be justly proud that they did what they could to save their country and at least a few of their countrymen. YOU CAN SAVE THE ENTIRE BUNCH OF YOU IF YOU WILL BUT GET UP, GET ANGRY AT THE RIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR PLIGHT, AND GO TO WORK.

TARGETS

Lastly, let us speak of targets. The authors aim at the Soviets; it does not matter who might be your enemy, all facts are appropriate-therefore Ashtar will refer to "enemy". Further, the book uses the worst possible type of attack by your enemy.

1. Since your enemies are capable of this attack, you must be prepared for it.

2. The proposed shelter system will protect you even in the worst case scenario.

3. America will still be a very desirable place to live even following such an attack---------IF YOU HAVE THE SHELTERS.

You must realize, however, that the nature of the enemy attack will be determined by your defenses. The worst case attack will be used only if you build no defenses. If you build very good defenses, they will not attack at all. This is true in general, and is also true of particular targets if an attack comes.

For example, your homes will be targets only if you are inside of them. They want to kill you, not destroy your houses as such. They want to claim your houses if at all possible. Your enemies are extremely overcrowded in one instance, and short of housing in the other.

The enemy has large groups of scientists working on a crash program to develop biological weapons. These weapons would have very little use against military targets. Their primary aim would be the extermination of civilians without damage to civilian possessions like homes, automobiles, and industrial tools. DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER IRAQ THIS PAST YEAR?

Since America can only be defeated if the people of America are destroyed, the Soviets will attempt to kill those people wherever they are found. If you are in your homes, your homes may be smashed in order to kill you. If you are in shelters, then there would be no reason to destroy your property.

The best way to insure that any enemy attack would be limited to military targets, is to place your civilians beyond the reach of enemy weapons.

PROBABLE ATTACK STRATEGY AND DETERRENT POSSIBILITIES

1. In your current, complete undefended condition.

The enemy attack would be a massive bombardment of your cities, towns, industry, and military targets. Ground bursts would be used against military and civilian airports and missile silos.

Fallout from these ground bursts and the effects of the air burst attack on your civilians would kill at least 80 percent of all of the American people.

2. If you deploy passive defense in the form of shelters---NOW---!

The enemy attack might be deterred. If it came, it would be limited to ground bursts against airports and missile silos and air bursts against other military targets.

3. If you deploy shelters and deploy off-the-shelf anti-aircraft and anti­-missile technology ---NOW---!

The enemy attack would be deterred until they build offensive weapons that can penetrate your anti-aircraft and anti-missile defenses.

4. If you deploy shelters, if you deploy off-the-shelf anti-aircraft and anti-missile technology now, and proceed with a serious program of advanced technology for strategic defense which is deployed as it becomes available.

The enemy will probably never attack with nuclear weapons. War would only come by accident or by terrible error. If, however, war did come,you would be quite safe. Even in an all out war, only a few targets in America might be damaged as a result of occasional defense leakage or terrorist infiltration.

In the age of biological weapons to come, your shelters would still help you. The filtered air and button-up capability would allow you to wait out a biological attack and to subdivide yourselves into one to two million separate biological targets. Impossible to get you all!

All we can do is assist in presenting the truths to you. What you do with the information is most certainly up to you. YOU CAN SURVI VE NICELY TO HAVE A BIT OF A FUTURE; WITHOUT CARE AND SHELTERING. YOU WILL NOT. JUST AS YOU WOULD PERISH, IF YOU WENT UNCLOTHED INTO 50 DEGREE BELOW ZERO WEATHER--YOU ONLY NEED TAKE THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS. NOW YOU HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE FACTS. CHECK THEM OUT FOR YOURSELVES, FROM YOUR OWN EARTH FACILITIES--YOU HAVE BEEN DUPED, EARTH BROTHER, I WOULD THINK YOU MIGHT BE MOST IRRITATED. SO BE IT AND SALU.

I AM COMMANDER ASHTAR

Let us close this portion, Dharma. I will return later to pen the addendums. Thank you most humbly for the hours of work and time put into this document. Oh, would it be that thy brothers would hear us and take action in their own behalf. Let it be, chela, for we do what we can and then man must act for himself. Selah. Out.

SAMPLE LETTER

REC. #3,ASHTAR

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1989 9:40 A.M.YEAR 3, DAY 030

SAMPLE LETTER FOR YOUR LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL POLITICAL LEADERS--SUPERVISORS, CITY/TOWN FATHERS, SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN AND REPRESENTATIVES. PLEASE QUERY EACH AND ALL. ADDRESSES AND NAMES CAN BE GOTTEN FROM YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY.

DATE........................

Dear .......................

I am extremely concerned about the lack of any civil defense or survival shelter systems for U.S. citizens. Red China has a massive tunnel system, The Soviet Union has a massive system for which we have supplied equipment and food, and even Switzerland has a massive one. We have nothing. A nuclear attack can be safely survived if we but had a shelter system.

I request to know if you plan to support legislation for the immediate construction of a civil defense shelter system along the lines described in the book SURVIVAL IS ONLY TEN FEET FROM HELL, by Commander Ashtar; AMERICA WEST DISTRIBUTORS 6992 El Camino Real # 104-335 Carlsbad, California 92009 and FIGHTING CHANCE, by Arthur Robinson and Gary North, Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine, P.O. Box 1279, Cave Junction, OR. 97523. If you do, I request any information as to how I might contribute service.

If you do not intend to create or support such legislation, I, as a citizen and your constituent, demand to know why not. If your objection is that it costs too much, I would like to know which programs you regard as more important than protecting the lives of this nation's population from enemy attack. Without people, you will have no other projects to support at any cost. I demand survival. The politicians and incompetent ones in control have now denied me, and my fellow citizens, the very right to survival of life itself. I demand action in behalf of the populace of this country.

I am eagerly awaiting an immediate response.

Sincerely yours,

Name ......................
