REC#3ASHTAR

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 19898:00 P.M.YEAR 3, DAY 028

Thank you for joining me. We will not work late, only until we can finish tomorrow in relative ease. Ashtar present.

SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

The toilets and sinks are built into the well water system which provides sewage removal and surplus of water for hygiene. In case of loss of the well system, the toilets are provided with simple storage containers for waste.

A battery power system, recharged in peacetime from electric utilities, runs lights and provides electricity for other purposes as is done in recreational vehicles. Batteries sufficient for radios and emergency lighting at low levels for long duration are provided. There are a few electronic items that need to be in each shelter in advance. Most important are dosimeters to measure the accumulated radiation dose of each occupant and survey meters to measure the current radiation rate at any location. These will include external probes for measurements outside the shelter as well as inside of it.

In addition, each shelter will have several pocket-sized, two-way, shortwave FM radios which allow communication between all shelters within a ten mile radius. These are portable for use outside after the attack as well. Radio receivers of the more usual kind will allow you to listen for information from a greater distance.

The radios and meters need to be protected from EMP which could destroy their circuits. Since the shelters themselves are what scientists call Faraday cages, they provide electronic shielding that protects the equipment as long as it is not tied to an outside antenna or probe. The antenna or probe must be reconnected after the attack has ceased. Several FM radios would be present in each shelter for redundancy and for post-attack communications.

Since the shelter is cylindrical, a flat floor is installed. The space under the floor is used for storage. Furniture is among the items stored there. The shelter is furnished entirely with hammock type chairs, and hammocks for sleeping. These hammocks are suspended from the ceiling by flexible cords. They are not installed until the shelter is actually occupied.

Cloth hammock furniture has several advantages. First, it is easily stored and inexpensive. Second, it is soft. If some people should love their balance and fall there will be no edges of fixed furniture to cause injuries, If nuclear weapons explode near the shelter, the suspension cords will absorb part of the shock of shelter motion. In addition, occupancy experiments have shown that hammock furniture is a space efficient means of providing comfort to shelter occupants.

Stored with the hammocks will be gas masks and protective clothing fur use in case shelter occupants should need to leave the shelter for any reason. Fire extinguishers, hand tools, a cutting torch, and related items will be stored there, too.

The shelter medical kit and emergency library is important. The medical kit will contain the usual first aid items and also some special items which should be used by trained physicians. If no physician is available, however, trained medics assigned to the shelters or even untrained individuals guided by the shelter library will be responsible for health care.

The shelter library would contain medical books, survival books, nutrition books, instruction books covering the various equipment and contingencies, and Bibles or spiritual books that ones can utilize to find spiritual comfort.

Each unoccupied shelter would be equipped with an electronic surveillance system, so that local police will be notified of intruders. This need arises because the shelters can never be locked. In case of emergency, we cannot permit delays that might be associated with unlocking shelters. The surveillance system will deter vandals and notify the authorities about any intrusion which may have caused damage. Penalties for vandalizing shelters or stealing equipment from them must be very tough. Such crimes threaten the survival of the country.

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance vans that test the shelter's various systems and assure that all is in good order will visit each shelter routinely at 18 month intervals. This continuing maintenance will cost about $2 per person sheltered, per year. The surveillance system will require about $1 per person sheltered per year for monitoring cost. Overall, we estimate that the maintenance, monitoring, and repair costs of the nationwide shelter system would be about $5 per person sheltered, per year.

SOVIETS AND SWISS USE MILITARY

The Soviets have a large branch of their military with the sole job of providing civil defense-as do the Swiss. In the Soviet case, 10,000 full-time professionals are supplemented by millions of civil defense reservists and a national requirement that everyone, even grade school children, receive extensive civil defense instruction every year.

These large personnel commitments are very valuable, as are the facilities provided--facilities that cost two to ten times more than those that you would utilize. In the American shelters, it will be crowded, it will be uncomfortable, and, without a large army of civil defense professionals, it will also be amateur night-but you will survive.

Actually, when the shelters are installed, the local communities should organize their use. Community disaster organizations do not need to be provided by the federal government. Nuclear war, however, requires the initial special technology that Congress must provide. Give the American people blast shelters, and they will read the instruction books themselves.

RECA #1 ASHTAR

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1989 7:45 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 029

BULLETINS, NOT NOVELS
Ashtar present. Greetings. I believe that we can finish most of the topic of shelters today, as to general instructions. There are some updates and responses to inquiries regarding quite a few things that Commander Hatonn, Sananda and myself will entertain later, for the Forward or Epilog. These publications are bulletins, friends, not novels for entertainment purposes. Content, nor changes of content, will not be reflected by any Earth person's opinion--our purpose is truth, and if you find it distasteful, you had best re-look at credentials, source of input and verify the facts according to your own human writers.

We are utilizing these documents as a means of pulling into public exposure ones who are feeding off of your vulnerability, spreading lies regarding your space brothers and covering up further, for your grossest enemies, your own government's secret doings. A "little exposure" is a most terrible thing, for you are sucked into the trap and then will believe any of the false conclusions drawn by an author. Satanic material always bears some truth, or pretends the labels and truth, in his falseness--it is the very mark of the beast. You must use discernment.

These are the reasons, however, that our scribes for this material are so well tended. Please, ye ones who are true brethren, protect these ones who receive of us for they are in such danger. Yet, they are of the most trusting and open for they cannot imagine that man can work in evil ways. Please, simply utilize discretion.

ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE SCRIBE

An attempt was made this very weekend past, on Sananda's most cherished receiver, through drug dosement, by one who pretends to be her most devoted family of friends. We make no effort to keep that one, receiver, in secret as she speaks for Sananda and is ninety years of age. She is well known about your place as Thedra and in this instance, publicity is far more effective than secrecy. The one who attempted upon her life is a marked man! Whether or not these attempts are carried forth in unknowing, or in full intent (which we concur this was), it must be a full lesson for all who even contact this man for he is death unto you. You who would jeopardize our work and find yourselves in indiscretion had better carefully study these words for it has all but cost you a dear, dear friend and a major setback to your work for this transition period of bringing truth into public light.

The effort is to silence the truth before it can be spread forth. It is too late, but we will protect our writers. Just as with Thedra we have no intention of allowing these ones to pass from your dimension prematurely. Believe me, they would, rather come home. For the most part, you are most unpleasant beings to live among. So be it; we are in preparation for what you call Armageddon and an earth transition into fourth dimensional recovery. Our commitment is to bring forth truth for your enlightenment that you can make your choices of divine base in knowledge. Beyond that, dear ones, is your business. We will fulfill our portion, it is up to you what you do with the information.

YOU CAN EITHER USE IT, ACT, AND SAVE YOUR CIVILIZATION OR YOU MAY CAST IT ASIDE AND FALL TO YOUR ENEMY----FOR THAT PARTICULAR ENEMY WILL FALL!

Let us continue with bomb shelters, chela.

STORAGE FOR POST-ATTACK RECOVERY

The deterrent effect of your prayers, your shelters, your demonstrated will to resist, and your eventual anti-missile defense may allow you to avoid attack. If, however, you are still attacked (which you will be to some large extent), your shelters will save your lives and give you a fighting chance to save your families and your civilization. In order to increase that chance, there are things that you must have available for use when you emerge from the shelters. The better you are prepared, the easier recovery will be. There will be a period of time in which we will not be able to attend you ones; while things are settling into place. There will be a period of time whereby our presence will only bring greater hazard to you. You will need to come forth from the earth and begin to attend growing and above ground shelters and things of that nature. We are always going to use "worst scenario" in most instances so that you are prepared.

Near each set of ten shelters that house a total of 10 x 150 (1500 people) will be additional steel tanks that have been buried in a manner similar to the shelters themselves. These large tanks and their contents will cost about $150,000 per set to buy and install. This will drop drastically when you have earth compression machinery available for you will not be utilizing the same type of life sustaining systems.

The primary item in the tanks will be food--a year's supply minimum, for each person. This would not be "camping type" items or sterno stoves to cook on. That is wondrous survival material, but not sufficient for long term living. It is also quite expensive for extended use and could only be supplied if you have a more luxury-type shelter and preparation system. Otherwise it would be wondrously suitable. These things, however, will only be available to you if you can convince your government that you are each worth as much as a Swiss, Russian or Chinese citizen. (That means you voters must decide that you are worth that much, and you then must convey your estimate to your elected representatives in Washington----remember he too needs a place to save his own assets.)

These additional tanks will contain bulk grain, beans and corn right out of the farm bins and grain elevators in the United States. We can further instruct you as to how to dig storage holes within the earth for storage as was done by your native Indians and your ancient Egyptians that lasted for thousands and thousands of years most efficiently--all you need do is "remember".

These items, in combination with some other essentials such as vegetable oils, salt and essential nutrient supplements, will keep you alive and well-fed for a full year. You must be prepared to store great quantities of lentils, sprout seeds, grains and a great quantity of algae product (spirolina, chlorella, blue-A­green, etc.). There are ways of preparing such rations that are most palatable and nutritious. You will want, therefore, to have plenty of additional items such as flavorings, (i.e. smoke, peppers) and a quantity of dried onion and garlic (these also add great health benefit to a basic food).

In most regions, with the lives of the people saved, normal food supplies will begin to be restored in less than a year. However, you must know that in areas where there is growing only with irrigation from canals, you will require longer for you will need restore your water supply. Further, you might well find your irrigation waters contaminated. If the bombs don't take your major dams, the forthcoming triggered earthquakes will----your major dam system is targeted for ground-burst effectiveness. You will need to store abundant wellA­ digging machinery and be prepared to turn to personal or community gardens. Community projects are preferable, for man can do nicely if he is not isolated and all are working together for a cause--especially if the cause is survival of family and friends. "Community" will become the greatest joy to return unto you.

For assurance that all ones can remain well fed, regardless of the damage and restoration time of your food production, storage, and transportation systems, you must have plenty of stored food available. If you stop allowing your crops to be shipped abroad, or burned, or subsidized for "not growing", you will not only have created income again for your farmers, but you will have created a need for the over-abundance. THIS IS THAT UPON WHICH YOUR NATION WAS FOUNDED--NOT UPON THAT WHICH YOU HAVE BECOME THROUGH THE DESTRUCTION BY THOSE WHO CONTROL YOU. You sold ("gave away at low-interest loans") the Soviets the grain that they needed FOR THEIR CIVIL DEFENSE STORAGE SUPPLIES. COULD YOU NOT DO THE SAME FOR YOURSELVES?

THE REQUIRED GRAIN, BEANS, AND CORN ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE IN YOUR GOVERNMENT-FINANCED FARM SURPLUS STORAGE.

A little old ex-convict named "Joseph" convinced Egypt's Pharaoh of the wisdom of such a food storage program. Can't a nation of American voters demand their representatives have and utilize such wisdom? Or have you convinced yourselves of your own unworthiness to the extent that you feel you deserve death at the hand of your enemy?

In addition to food, your storage module must contain medical supplies and equipment for use by professional physicians. Medicines which can only be produced by high technology will have a high priority.

Tools will be mandatory. The emphasis would be on agricultural and carpentry tools, and on tools required for the repair of industrial machinery. These will be primarily hand tools and simple items that will aid in the bootstrap procedure of restoring your productive economy.

The rubble will contain a great amount of partially damaged and undamaged items that you can use to rebuild. Except in areas of high density frame construction, most of the rubble will be untouched by fire and will be of substantial value.

Seeds will also be stored in this module. The food storage itself will provide seeds for mass production of staples and the addition of non-hybrid seeds will serve as insurance of that. (Crops grown from hybrid seeds do not produce seeds for the next planting that can produce a high-quality crop. They are one-shot, one-planting, high-yield seeds. There may be no hybrid seed producers around to produce seeds for the post-attack crop.) In addition, you need vegetable seeds, and the means to re-establish your agriculture on a local level. In time, this local food production will be replaced by the restoration of your farms and distribution economy, but each group of shelters should have the ability to provide for itself in the meantime.

In addition, the tank will contain individual face masks with filters and protective clothing to resist chemical and biological warfare agents and test kits to identify those risks. These are in addition to those in the primary shelters themselves.

Now the "not so nice to think about" things. You must have items and instruction materials necessary to recharge and repair the primary shelters, so that you can be ready in case you are attacked again with weapons of mass destruction. This is most likely whether or not you like to confront it. You are going to have a world in conflagration and further, you will have a world itself, in upheaval. There will be volcanic eruptions and subsequent fallout, all manner of natural disasters to deal with and thus and so. Your shelters must be kept in superb repair. You should also have seeds, etc., stored in case of lost growing seasons and crop destruction. Count on three to six terrible years and you will be pretty well covered.

It is true that you could rebuild from the rubble alone; that you could forage for food in the rubble and participate in heroic scenarios to transport food from wrecked storage facilities; and that you could rebuild your industry from the tools available in areas that are not bombed and from facilities that have been hardened to protect tools from damage. Uniform success at those efforts throughout your damaged country, without substantial suffering and loss of life is unlikely, however, unless you store post-attack supplies near your shelters. These other things will be utilized also, but they are most undependA­able and any salvage will be your cake frosting.

Those facilities will allow you to rebuild much more quickly and to be strong enough to continue your defense. Therefore, you should choose to spend the additional $100 on post attack provisions rather than upon additional comfort during the relatively short stay in the shelters.

RADIATION AND FALLOUT

Nuclear radiation is always with you. Low levels of radiation are contained in the air you breathe, the walls and floors of your homes, most of things you use, and the substances of which your own bodies arc constructed. Most of that radiation comes from the disintegration of unstable atomic nuclei or from radiation that hits the earth from outer space, cosmic radiation (which you will learn to harness).

The most penetrating radiation is called gamma radiation. It, along with the less penetrating alpha and beta radiation, bombards your bodies continuously.

Every minute, approximately 7000 particles of background radiation penetrate the average person's body. Of those, about 4000 particles of radiation hit the person's tissues and do damage, while about 3000 go on through without impact. In addition, about 40 atoms within the body itself decay every minute. Their radiation damages the tissues in which they are contained.

Some activities increase your exposure. For example, the radiation at high altitude in a passenger airplane is about 40 times as great as at sea level, or about 300,00 particles per minute per person.

This radiation is as natural to your environment as sunlight or rain. Your bodies have mechanisms to repair the damage, and, in some ways, the background nuclear radiation may actually help to improve your health.

If, however, nuclear radiation hits you in much greater quantities than are usual (heavy fallout from a nuclear weapon could increase the dose rate by 10 million-fold or more), your bodies' repair mechanisms would be overwhelmed so severely that you would become ill and might even die.

Your bodies can continuously tolerate, without illness, about 10,000 times the normal background dose. You can tolerate 50,000 times the normal dose for a one-week period, providing your bodies have ample opportunity for several weeks of rest and repair before such a dosage is repeated. About 15 percent of the damage is repaired per week. You can even tolerate 10,000,000 (ten million) times the normal background dose for a one or two-hour period. This dose would, however, use up all of your radiation tolerance for the following several weeks.

The unstable atoms in fallout that produce high radiation levels do so because they decay very rapidly. They decay so rapidly that, within two weeks, the number of these atoms and the radiation which they produce is 1,000 times less than it was one hour after the nuclear explosion which produced the unstable atoms. Much false information has been fed to you to cause you to feel helpless and forfeit your survival capabilities. If you are convinced you won't survive you will not demand shelters--SO WHICH DO YOU THINK IT HAS BEEN?

Clearly. if you just keep away from the radiation for a while, the passage of time eliminates its threat. By putting distance and the mass of radiation barrier like dirt or concrete between yourselves and the radiation, you become quite safe from harm. This is not the same type of long-lived radiation hazard as with nuclear power production waste cores which continue to produce radiation in tremendous amounts for hundreds of thousands of years--stay on the topic; we are speaking of nuclear "bombs".

Most explosions in a nuclear war will probably be air bursts. In air bursts, the nuclear fireball does not touch the ground. These, like the air-burst explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, will not produce fallout. Some explosions, however, would occur on or near the ground. The dust, dirt and rock sucked up by these explosions would become radioactive, drift with the wind, and settle down upon the countryside.

Some places would have none of the fallout, and some others would have so little that it would pose no threat to health or life. In other places, however, the fallout would be so extensive that people would need to stay sheltered until the radiation decays. The wind direction could be carefully checked to anticipate fallout danger to a great extent; that, and the size of the debris cloud.

This, of course, means that some people would need to spend a portion of every day in complete shelter; some would need continuous shelter for a few days and then shelter a portion of each day after that; and, in the worst case, some" people would need continuous shelter for up to two weeks. Since this is all unpredictable, all shelters must be fully equipped.

Shelter from fallout would often be available outside of the blast shelters themselves. In case it isn't available, or if it has been destroyed by the blast itself, each shelter must have those life-support capabilities for a full two weeks.

Some people try to guess where the bombs will fall and which ones will be ground-bursts. In this way, they try to lower shelter costs by providing shelter based upon their own theoretical estimates or war games. This is a very dangerous procedure. Every American deserves and must have protection from the worst possible Soviet attack. Remember, your adversary will be counting on you to be predicting his actions. You cannot predict what the detailed plan of attack would be--especially after they have observed your preparations.

If you all have two-week blast and radiation shelters, then in all probability, most of you would not need to stay in the shelters for two weeks. If, of course, you don't have the shelters, then your enemies can design their attack to easily kill most of you.

Protection from nuclear radiation is as simple and straight-forward as protection from normal sunburn by means of shade. Your "umbrellas" just have to be thicker. The peculiar properties of nuclear radiation require only that the shading elements be several feet thick or compressed into a dense form of the equivalent.

Protection from nuclear explosion blast is us straight-forward as protection from air-blast by the windshield of your car (which causes an effective wind velocity of 50 to 60 miles per hour). The enormous energy of the nuclear explosion blast requires, however, a much stronger windshield.

In order to scare the American people into inaction, and in order to promote certain special interest political causes, many false statements have been made about the effects of low doses of nuclear radiation. It is claimed, for instance, that legions of genetically ruined children will be born, and that radiation will cause tens of millions of new cases of cancer. THESE STATEMENTS ARE UNPRINCIPLED AND UNTRUE.

Even in a worst-case, all-out nuclear war, nuclear radiation would harm primarily those individuals whose exposure exceeded their bodies short-term repair capabilities.

The increased low levels of radiation, to which survivors of the first few weeks would be exposed, would do long-term harm to some people. That harm would, however, affect such a low percentage of people that it would be largely unnoticed. There would be those ones in addition to a dead and dying nation of people at any "unprotected" rate. They would find themselves in process of sickness trying to bury the millions of dead and tending the dying-- not a pretty picture indeed.

It is absolutely essential that each American know the truth. You have been told LIES. Lies like "nuclear winter" and "legions of mutant children from increased background radiation" have helped to make you defenseless against enemy tyranny. War is horrible, but nuclear war will be much more horrible if you fail to prepare for it. With the missile capability of your current time, there is no escaping the probability of geographic involvement -- in any type of exchange. Further, IT WILL BE NUCLEAR! Falsehoods about radiation that paralyze you with fear, and thereby diminish your preparations, are deadly to you. That is why the Soviets have a small army of propaganda experts whose job it is to spread fear and disinformation around the world. Sadly, too many well-meaning and intelligent people, even scientists who have not specialized in radiation's biological effects, have become accomplices of these Soviet disinformation specialists. They have been duped.

To be free from tyranny you must be free of misconceptions, especially misconceptions that have been deliberately spread by people who do not want this nation defended from Soviet attack. You must know the truth about your enemies and also about the technology with which they threaten you.

NOW, I WILL BLOW HOLES IN THESE DEAR ONES' SECURITY BLANKET. IN THE EPILOG I WILL DISCUSS HOW THE PROBABILITIES FALL OUT AND WHY, IF YOU ACT, YOU CAN DO IT. YOUR ENEMY IS RED CHINA; YOU AND RUSSIA ARE ALREADY ALLIES. SO BE PREPARED TO CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE---FURTHER, IT SHOULD BE AN ASSET IN CONVINCING YOUR CONGRESSMEN. SO BE IT.

Dharma, a break please. Ashtar to stand-by. Out.
