REC #1 ASHTAR
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1989 8:00 A.M. YEAR 3, DAY 024
Ashtar present and prepared to continue. Greetings, Dharma, in the light of the Radiant One and in the beauty of a glorious day. Let us first speak of current things as I am requested by Hatonn to give an instruction or two.
Regarding Sipapu; you will please have Nick's drawings reduced to proper size and placed appropriately within the story. Further, in the front you will reproduce Gary's two songs that the words can set a quality of atmosphere. You must learn to fly with the Redtail, little chela, for soon you shall be free as the magnificent essence which ye ones are. And yet, a portion of each essence is left in spirit wherever it has touched, be it a wondrous teacher or an Indian maiden---once you have "been" you can never again "unbe". It is so important, therefore, that you leave wondrous and beauteous footprints upon thy passage. Even a tiny butterfly, which touches your aura, leaves of itself the beauty and oneness of a precious moment in sequence. So be it.
WITH INFORMATION MAN CAN SURVIVE
Let me explain a bit as to "why" I utilize descriptions, numbers and dreadful statistics for the documents. We are not here to write beauteous novels of fantasy and fun. Earth man must face the problems in which he finds himself and he must be given these things that he can confirm for himself the truth of it. Man has had so many lies and panic situations which have been "set up" that he knows not which way to turn. First he must understand the problem and then he will be open for the management suggestions, I must give you background, current status and the ability to check it out for self as to validity.
As a for instance, you must know as we go along that if taken proper care and measures, you ones can survive almost anything quite nicely. Without precautions and care, you cannot survive at all; you must decide which it will be. The ones who do not wish you to survive will poo poo and ridicule you in an effort to dissuade you from your path. Each must have a choice, but further, others must have a guideline and model from which they can have courage to act.
With civil defense measures such as evacuation of cities like Los Angeles, it is impossible. You will have panic and even if the streets are passable it will become dead gridlock and ones will be in the open where they can do naught but perish. You must use your intelligent reasoning ability. You need places where you can immediately move underground; the children at school are taken to safety and tended until they can be reunited with family units. Ones must have immediate safety and the rest can be sorted later. This is one reason you must have added quantities of supplies in certain places and a tunnel system.
You must always have multiple exits from underground in case of earth upheaval which blocks passages. Radiation protection gear within the public locations that ones can be transferred prior to clearance of fallout, etc.
ATOMIC BOMBS AT HIROSHIMA & NAGASAKI
I am going to tell you about your Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 1945, for you do not know of the "truth" of it. As bad as it was, it was not as bad as you perceive. The stories that persist about horrible deaths from "residual" radiation and deformed children have no basis in fact. They simply are false stories. I do not downplay the importance of the incidents; but I do insist on truth or you will not act appropriately.
Before the attack there were about 450,000 people in those cities. Over 100,000 people were killed in the combined raids and another 200,000 were injured. Let me compare that to something you can expect in Los Angeles alone. According to your own statistics, when the San Andreas fault slips, you will have more than that number of casualties in L.A. alone.
The reason, which is so much more important than statistics, is that no statistics remind you that the casualties were all ones who were NOT INSIDE OF SHELTER! THE PEOPLE WERE NOT PREPARED FOR THE RAIDS AND WERE GOING ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS--THEY WERE NOT INSIDE THE SHELTERS!
At Hiroshima, the air raid warning which was given at 7 A.M. that morning was called off at 8 A.M. A radio "warning" was issued at 8 A.M. giving the people instructions. The people were told that they did not have to go into the shelters unless B-29 bombers were spotted; they would be kept informed. At almost the same time the radio instructions were given, three B-29 planes were spotted. It was assumed, since there were only three planes, that it was a reconnaissance mission and not a bombing raid. No one did anything for protection--in fact some ones were still within the shelters, not having made it out from the air-raid all clear.
At 8:15 A.M. the bomb exploded. It blew away a big chunk of Hiroshima. It also blew away the post-war hope of ever again having security in your world.
Three days later in Nagasaki, an air raid warning was sounded at 11:00 AM. Exactly two minutes later the bomb exploded. Many people had ignored the warning as there had been an earlier one which had been cancelled at 8:30. Some people actually stood outside and watched the two planes approach. The bomb exploded two minutes after 11:00 A.M. Now, please don't ask Ashtar why Nagasakians didn't learn from Hiroshima for I embarrass to tell you the terrible news: THE GOVERNMENT DID NOT INFORM NAGASAKI OF THE INCIDENT AT HIROSHIMA. Well, don't act so shocked; your government tells you less about matters that affect your life--proof?--you don't have any safety shelters.
Let us speak of just one little lady as an example. She was standing within an earthen bomb shelter. She was about 300 feet from the entrance--which had no door or other blast resistant barrier at the end. The bomb exploded about 500 yards up and 200 yards horizontally from the shelter's entry way, or about the length of two of your football game fields. The blast knocked her from her feet, and she was burned on the back of her legs and on the upper part of her right arm. She was later interviewed about her experiences (pay attention---your reporters interviewed her). No burns were inflicted on any part of her body that had been covered by clothing. Another woman even closer to the entrance, was also burned where she was uncovered, and recovered with no after-effects whatsoever.
Now for a "big one�--around the corner from the first woman (above), approximately twelve feet away, were several other people, on their way out of the shelter. They were completely uninjured by the explosion. The tiny corner of earth barrier had been sufficient protection. Keep in mind these were simple shelters designed to protect from "simple" warfare and stray bombs for the U.S. was not given to blow up civilians--at that time; you got more sophisticated and civilians have become a much more acceptable expendable item to your military.
AH, BUT THEY WERE "SMALL" ATOMIC BOMBS!
These two bombs were "small" atomic bombs, 12 kilotons and 20 kilotons. (A kilo means 1,000). Today's common nuclear bombs are anywhere from ten to fifty times more powerful than the two bombs in terms of the equivalent number of tons of your gauge explosive, TNT, but because of the laws of physics, the bomb's effects diminish rapidly the farther away you are from the detonation. A one-megaton bomb is fifty times more powerful than the Nagasaki bomb at the point of detonation, but its effects are not fifty times more powerful even a block in distance away from detonation.
Now look: both the U.S. and the Soviet Union have quit even deploying the older huge bombs of the early 1960s and have instead adopted a strategy of deploying many more smaller bombs--that is why the "quantity" buildup. It is far more devastating to a city to be hit by ten well-targeted half-megaton bombs than by a single five-megaton bomb, and modern technology now permits very accurate placement of the bombs.
HOW ABOUT SEVERAL NUCLEAR WARHEADED CLUSTER BOMBS TO SHOWER DOWN FROM A STEALTH JET OR MISSILE WHICH COULD SCATTER ONE BOMB ALL OVER A WIDESPREAD AREA FOR HUNDREDS OF EXPLOSIONS? PLEASE REFER TO THE LITTLE TOWN IN CALIFORNIA OF YESTERDAY'S WRITING.
Let us speak of "less devastation at a distance; I shall refer to it as remoteness dilution. The people who survived in a tunnel 200 yards from ground zero would probably have also survived a bomb ten times as large had they been 500 yards from the explosion, and would have survived the largest bomb currently deployed, at 1,000 yards distant.
Remember also, the shelter was above ground--dug into the side of a dirt hill, so the blast blew straight downward and into the tunnel. If the shelter had had a blast-proof door covering the woman would not even have been knocked from her feet nor would she have sustained burns.
My point is not to lessen the unmerciful pity of such a creation as nuclear bombs, but rather to point out that if you have sufficient underground shelters--you can nicely survive. If you are prepared you will have warning time of a few minutes to take action, stop what you are doing and move to safety.
Since your government refuses to provide you with anything at all, we will not yet even discuss luxury quarters at this point---let us speak of "stay alive" facilities.
What kind of protection do you need? There are five things which kill people during all atomic attack:
Initial nuclear radiation (duration: about one second)
Heat (duration: several seconds)
Blast (duration: several seconds)
Burial or bombardment by flying or falling objects.
Fallout
Look at these for a moment: The first two "killers" get you first, of course, then the blast comes shrieking toward you at approximately the speed of sound (some 700 mph). That, friends, is accompanied by a wind that blows at the equivalent of 1,000 mph, if you are very close; less, if you are farther away. Within a few seconds this passes, leaving behind rubble where there had been buildings and homes. It literally knocks over buildings and especially dwelling size structures like a magnificent bulldozer.
The fourth killer is then considered a secondary effect. Bricks, debris, glass and other objects become lethal if they are flying at you at hundreds of miles per hour. Being inside with glass windows is probable death because if the room doesn't collapse on you, which it will if you are near detonation, the flying debris and glass will kill you.
Let us now consider the fifth "killer", fallout. This will only occur if the bomb has exploded AT GROUND LEVEL. (NOBODY WAS KILLED BY FALLOUT RADIATION IN HIROSHIMA OR NAGASAKI, BECAUSE THE BOMBS WERE AIR-BURST DETONATIONS.)
When a bomb is detonated on the ground, it pulls up dirt and dust into the infamous mushroom cloud, where it then becomes radioactive. Beginning about a half hour later, this now-radioactive dirt drifts down, especially DOWNWIND. If It gets on you, and you do not wash it off immediately, or if you cannot hide under a barrier, for example, of six feet of concrete or ten feet of earth--it will kill you. You can survive some amount of exposure but only briefly, so you must have shelter very quickly.
Fallout is briefly most dangerous. It does, however, "wear out" quite rapidly-춛ithin a couple of weeks. It is dangerous because it has a rapid rate of decay. Things that decay slowly are not dangerous, but things that decay rapidly are most hazardous. So, get away from the source right away and remain re춎oved and protected from it for a few days--a full two weeks if at all possible.
밃way from it" means a barrier of concrete or several feet of dirt. GOOD FOR YOU ONES WHO BUILD YOUR SHELTER FROM COMPRESSED EARTH BRICKS (SHAN-STONE). You will have all your materials and the most effective shelters you can possibly produce. I believe Henry's machinery is most sufficient, dear ones, and you really must get on with agreements for when we get underway with community building there will be great demand for the equipment--the bricks do not have to be approved for "root cellars". You can line "cisterns" with sealant or fabricated liners, cover with dirt and graze your cattle on top.
Protection from radiation is very simple and effective--with shelter. Without shelter, more than half of those killed by the attack would die from initial nuclear radiation (duration: one second) and the subsequent fallout. This would involve great suffering over several days or weeks, since radiation sickness is a prolonged, terrible illness. Burn and burial victims would also die slowly and in horrible agony.
SMILE, YOU ARE IN SAFETY---IF---
You get into a shelter that would protect you from all five possibilities. You can know you can survive anything except a possible nuclear explosion at ground level immediately above your heads. (There won't be many of those because the military knows they do not do enough damage to structures: less bang for the buck, less rubble for the ruble.) Don't lose sight of the purpose of bombs and war in the first place.
What, exactly, do you as a citizen need to survive a nuclear attack? Let us take a look at your "subway" systems and perhaps you can see. For if you can be in a subway for a couple of weeks and can survive the muggers, a little atomic war won't bother you very much. Perhaps the "pushers" can drift around selling cocaine and you won't even have to notice the discomfort and crowding.
I spoke of it before but perhaps you need to see it again. Of course, I speak of large "mass" shelter which would each hold some 150 persons.
The shelter system, which we will discuss, would cost an allocation of about $200 (if civilian business does it--the sky is the limit if you allow your allow your government to do it). This would be for the shelter space itself, plus $100 minimum per person for post-attack food, survival, and rebuilding supplies. This is the minimum for assured simple survival. An additional $50 per person would markedly improve the comfort of shelter occupants by providing each one with more space.
In order to keep cost to a bare minimum, the shelters would necessarily he crowded. They would not, however, be crowded to the point of endangering life, just to the point of guaranteeing everyone's increasing discomfort and time to reflect on what if you had done it differently. We perceive that most ones will prefer crowds with no deodorant to being outside in wide open radiation. We are, however, continually amazed at what some of your people will do. "What you can't see and don't know can't hurt you," is a widespread attitude.
In areas where the prevailing wind is away from you, you will have no fallout and therefore exit the shelters immediately. If wind conditions result in fallout, then people will need protection from that fallout for a few days or weeks. In many places, this protection will be available outside the shelters. Where it isn't, then you will need to remain in the shelters. If you have "domed" buildings with cement or earthen coverings and the ability to shut off the window openings with radiation proof substance--you have grand above춇round facilities to move up and out into. A motion picture studio of domed beauty is a fine example. The domed structure will shear the blast winds and, if anything will stand, this type structure will do so. If you have time and resources to "encapsulate" your home within a dome you will be able to come up immediately and carry on. You will be ok if you build your domes to withstand 150-200 mph winds in most instances and in outlying communities.
In a tight shelter you'll only have about 2.3 sq.ft. per person. (About half the space on a normal class 747 airplane.) For only $50 per person more you can make that 5 feet for each and on up equivalently.
To achieve maximum occupancy, some people would be sleeping in hammocks that hang from the overhead ceiling while others are sitting. All others would need to be standing so there would need to be time shifts worked out.
In this basic survival cubbyhole you would only have two very small and limited bathroom chambers. Any additional facilities would be magnificent for you are going to have intestinal reactions to the fear.
DASTARDLY OTHER DEEDS AND NEEDS
You must have a good air circulation system to keep the temperature down. Now, the magic, you also build these over water wells. Your city can monitor the wells so that they are secured but you must have water for drinking (although bottled water is suggested due to possible failure of your system). You will need, however, a secondary 뱖ater� cooling system if you are totally confined.
Each shelter will also need food; this is your least necessary item for a matter of only one to three days (most of you are too overfed anyway). For basic emotional salvation you will need food. YOU MUST HAVE WATER--쵡BSOLUTELY VITAL; SO YOU STORE IT FOR YOU MUST NEVER DEPEND ON AN OUTSIDE SOURCE.
You will need medical first aid kits, radios and radiation meters (that have been shielded from the electromagnetic pulse). This pulse blows out electrical circuits that are attached to power lines, antennae, and unshielded circuit wires. IT IS ALSO WHY SO MANY CIRCUIT FAILURES OCCUR WHEN OUR SHIPS ARE NEAR OR WE PROJECT THE WAVES INTENTIONALLY. IT IS, FURTHER, WHY WE WILL GET OURSELVES OUT OF YOUR SPACE AT SUCH TIMES AS NUCLEAR BOMBARDMENT. You will need tools and "how-to" books and other items such as shovels, cutting torches and fire extinguishers--well, let us cover all that later. I will give you a list, or a place to get a list further in the book. I guess I will give it to you as I fear most ones will not follow up on any suggestion of further effort.
The "sub ground" system as I have just outlined, is not the only way to gain the protection you need. It is just that this one could be built and activated quickly at low cost. IT WILL WORK AND IT CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE. IT DOES HAVE ONE MAJOR DRAWBACK, HOWEVER, IT WON뭈 WORK IF IT IS NOT BUILT!
A break, please, Dharma. Ashtar to stand-by. Salu.

CHAPTER 4
REC #2 ASHTAR
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1989 2:00 P.M. YEAR 3, DAY 024
Ashtar to continue.
YOU CAN SAVE YOUR CHILDREN
How is it that Americans will pay ten times too much for a pair of blue jeans so the kids look good in what they perceive are "necessities"? Then, they turn their backs on their very survival from natural disasters to nuclear war'! IT IS NOT TOO BIG TO HANDLE; YOU HAVE SIMPLY BEEN LIED TO TOO OFTEN AND YOU HAVE CAPITULATED.
I believe all of you basically desire your children have a fighting chance at life�--at least physical survival to the point of self decision of one's life course. You would probably even give up Reeboks if you could save their very necks. You can get it done if you push your Congressmen hard enough. While they quarrel of yearly self income raises, you might just tell them to shelter your families or they won't have any income at all. YOU SEEM TO FORGET THAT CONGRESSMEN, JUDGES, AND THE LIKE--ARE ELECTED BY YOU, THE PEOPLE! YOU COULD GET IT DONE BY NEXT SEMESTER IF EVERYBODY HIT IT HARD ENOUGH--FURTHER, IN SMALLER COMMUNITIES, YOU CAN GO THE EXTRA WITH VOLUNTEER LABOR AND GET IT SOONER. VOLUNTEERS WOULD BE FINE IN CITIES ALSO, EXCEPT THE UNIONS WOULD STAND GUARD AT THE GATE.
I will give you a scenario offered by another to whom I am indebted. If your house were on fire, you would grab your kids and run for an exit. But,----what if the doors were locked every night by Congressional order and they hold the keys? What if some bureaucrat made it impossible for you to get out of your house, even though the whole world knows that there is a team of professional arsonists loose in the neighborhood and are methodically burning down all the houses?
Well, there is such a team--it is called whichever enemy chooses to loose the missiles. Your political representatives have made it impossible for you to get out of the burning houses. They not only won't build you ones shelters, they won't allow shelters built just to house the children. There is already space, money and equipment to build a shelter that would house all children at every school in your nation, public and private, without discrimination of race, color, or creed. All the kids, at least, should be given a fighting chance to survive.
Within ten minutes after the siren sounded, all the children could be safe in their shelters. If it happened during school hours, even a first strike by the enemy aimed at your cities couldn't kill your children. You would have at least a 15 minute warning under the worst-case scenario. In 15 minutes, the entire school age population in the U.S. could survive the blast and fallout.
Oh, you think the public would object to bomb drills as too traumatic for the children. Would you also give up fire drills? How about watching your child die of burns and agonizing radiation? Would that be less traumatic? So be it. People, and that includes children, are terrorized by that which they know not. Good intelligent survival drills of "move fast and survive" type would give them security and control of destiny instead of fear.
It is "gloom and doom" and unintelligent reasoning to do nothing and allow yourselves and your children to be held captive by political nitwits. You think the Iranian hostages were bad off? Boy, you have millions of citizens in much worse shape than those hostages. Your children are right at the head of the list of expendables. If you won't do something to save your children and you are really that cheap, then perhaps you don't deserve to survive--and you won't.
There are over 55 million children in school in the U.S., from kindergarten through college. Because they are concentrated in rather small areas, they could get to shelters in a matter of minutes. You are now talking about saving around one quarter of your population.
Let's break it down into even simpler numbers. There are about 27 million children in elementary schools. They attend about 73,000 schools. That works out to about 370 children in each school. That means you would need to build only about two shelters per elementary school depending on density of population distribution--some would need three to four.
There are about 17 million children in high school who attend some 30,000 schools. This averages to fewer than 570 students per school. That means that you would need about four shelters per secondary school. Obviously, in urban schools where there are more like 1,500 students, then ten shelters would protect them.
A good side effect for teachers, too, for they would have primary positions in the shelters. When the sirens sound, the teachers would accompany their own room full of children.
Simple placement: under the playground in elementary schools and under the football and baseball fields at high schools. Installation would take some two weeks in a crash program, a month at a normal construction rate. Shelters could be put under the baseball field during football season, and under the football field during the baseball season and no one would even need miss a game. Almost all of your children would survive a nuclear attack, even if it is aimed right at you, the civilians. They would all survive a nuclear attack aimed at military and strategic sites.
It appears, however, that your politicians all have more important things to do with your money than use it to protect you, the people. So be it. A few less junk advertisements from your senators and representatives might even cover the expense.
Let us have a hard look at the facts of the matter. Take a minute to go get a picture of your family--specifically your children and grandchildren. Look carefully at each one. Now tell me what government spending program is possibly worth risking their very lives even one more year. How about at least requiring a tax shelter for building your own! FRIENDS, THEY DO NOTHING, FOR YOU DO NOT INSIST THEY DO ANYTHING. YOU WON'T HAVE A DRUG PROBLEM IF YOU HAVE NO PEOPLE; PERHAPS THAT IS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CHILDREN HAVE BEEN COUNTING ON.
All Congress has to do is appropriate the money. They could also offer incentives. Prizes for first county accomplishing security installations. The counties and cities could offer bonds--it is a more worthy cause than infrastructure for unnecessary shopping centers and office buildings in already overbuilt cities.
HOW ABOUT A FEW EXTRA LOTTO OR LOTTERY DRAWINGS SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT EXPLICIT PURPOSE?
At the end of this journal, I will give you a sample letter to send to your congressman. If enough of you will follow through, you will get it done. However, you will have to have "community� effort--I do mean C O M M U N I T Y. Not just town half hearted effort--I mean real COMMUNITY cooperation. We will give you a whole document devoted to the development of real community.
WHAT OF MILITARY SECURITY?
Your military personnel are as unprotected as your children--oops, they are your children, are they not? At least the ones who go to war and die are your babies. Sometimes I feel most of your leaders could be no-one's children, much less parents.
There are no shelters for your Army children and absolutely no protection whatsoever for your Navy children at sea in floating toys. You think the ships won't be targets? Forget your dreams, Dad; they will be the most strategic targets for they will carry many of the retaliation missiles.
Let us just assume Soviet enemy. Consider the military implications of 25 active Cuban divisions just 90 miles from your shores. Consider the back-up potential of up to 215 Soviet divisions.
How long will your surviving children remain free if the eight Cuban runways start being used for transporting paratroopers? Who will defend the survivors if your ground-based military gets wiped out in a first strike?
U S. Army bases provide no shelters. The buildings are not underground. The troops are helpless and would be the first targets. Every one at all bases could easily be destroyed for the troops would be helpless. It would require practically no impact on the Soviet arsenal to accomplish devastation. They would aim directly at buildings and men and wipe out your defense troops. You would have zero troops in less than 30 minutes following missile launch. Protection? It is a government myth, dear hearts, a 300 billion - dollar - a 춞ear Pentagon myth. KNOW, DEAR ONES, THAT YOUR TOP MILITARY LEADERS AND POLITICIANS HAVE THEIR SURVIVAL AND ESCAPE ROUTES COMPLETELY FINISHED!
Oh, you think they must be unaware? Oh, little dreamers, they know. Why is nothing done? Because all who could lead are too scared for their positions to lead. They want to work "from the inside" and not "ruffle the system".
The fact is (and again I refer to Space-Gate), "the system"--the advisors to every President since John F. Kennedy at least,--has not been willing to protect your people. The men under the command of today's generals have placed their lives in the hands of senior officers who have been unwilling to place the nation's safety and their troop뭩 safety above their personal career goals. This is hard language, but your men in uniform need hard shelters and, brothers, they need them NOW! THEY ARE PRIMARY TARGETS--THE WAR WILL COME TO YOUR NATION THIS TIME AROUND.
Oh, there are some military men (who get retired before, or just as soon as, they speak up) who have tried to warn you. May I give honor to a few'? Graham, Singlaub, Knight, Keegan and Walt---before them, MacArthur and Patton. I salute them for daring to speak out.
If you had shelter, even bare necessity shelters, the enemy could not destroy your ground forces even in a first surprise strike. Without shelter, the military defense is gone and all troops dead. You would never again be an independent country. OUT OF A $300 BILLION A YEAR "DEFENSE" BUDGET YOUR GOVERNMENT IS TELLING MILITARY PERSONNEL LOUD AND CLEARLY, "YOU ARE NOT WORTH $200 EACH!"
A CONCLUSION CAN BE DRAWN
The conclusion must be obvious, as there is only one: install shelters at every school, kindergarten through college, in the nation. Get petitions out and vote for the program immediately, and have them installed before the next school mid-term-since this writing is in September, it will require until mid춗erm, but it could be well under way by that time and could be gotten on the November ballot perhaps.
ACCEPT NO EXCUSES FROM ELECTED OFFICIALS. EITHER YOUR CHILDREN GET PROTECTION, OR ELSE OFFICIALS WHO OPPOSE SHELTERS FOR THE CHILDREN FIND NEW JOBS!
If you don't care enough to send a letter, at least to your Congressman, then you are not worried about some 10,000 Soviet nuclear warheads. You must not mind the inconvenience of having all your children and grandchildren as hostages to terrorists. PLEASE, LET COMMANDER ASHTAR BELIEVE THAT YOU DO CARE, FOR I DO NOT LIKE TO BELIEVE I HAVE BROUGHT MILLIONS OF SPACE COMMAND BROTHERS HERE TO PROTECT YOU, IF YOU CARE NOT FOR YOURSELVES. YOU MUST REALIZE, THAT EVEN AT EARTH UPHEAVAL EVACUATION, WE STAND TO LOSE A LOT OF CRAFT AND CREWS---IF YOU CARE NOT FOR YOURSELVES, WE CANNOT ASK YOUR SPACE BRETHREN TO ACT IN YOUR BEHALF.
I am not going to list all your politicians, local and national. Call your library and find out--write ten letters each, 20, 30 150---what are your children worth? Surely, the cost of a few hits of cocaine perhaps??? Then, while you are at it, start pushing and prodding your local officials to start pressuring the Pentagon to spend money to shelter your troops--unless, of course, you prefer your children finish what lives they might still have, under the President Castro Nationalist Party. FURTHER, YOU MIGHT MAKE THESE BOOKS REQUIRED READING AND PUBLIC DEBATED. OPEN YOUR EYES EARTH AMERICANS, AND "SMELL THE COFFEE" FOR BREAKFAST HOUR IS ALL BUT OVER.
Suppose you get some shelters and save the children; would it not be nice if they had some adults to help tend them? What about the other 75% of the population? What about you? Surely you would not expect a few unsuspecting teachers to carry the load of all those lively children alone. Further, and uh oh, what if the raid comes "after" school?
If you can build shelters at the schools, you will find that you can also build shelters all over the suburbs with very little relative output. If you took just one years defense budget and handled it with integrity, you can have all the shelters you can use AND defense because you would save your military troops.
But, can it be done'! The Soviets have done it, the Red Chinese have done it, and the Swiss have done it. OF COURSE IT CAN BE DONE!
Where will you put them? Under every neighborhood park. They are on city property and nobody is inconvenienced by property encroachment. Then, my, America loves its cars so much that you have more parking lots than buildings. Stick them underground, under the parking lots. That is ideal and the people at work can have instant safety. What about shopping malls? Extra benefit for store owners--safety of self and good advertising, "COME SHOP IN TOTAL SAFETY".
You must remember something--these shelters are not just for nuclear war. They can be for any disaster--even floods. These must be seal safe which means you could live under water, self contained until tidal waves, etc. subside. Face it; land will not be a problem for locations--look how good merchants appear if they donate land under their property with an inlet and exit portal. Make them close enough to one another, with interconnecting tunnels (even if only a few), that no one even needs drive to a location--all can walk. This is most important to the infirm and older citizens, as well as parents with small children and infants. You must have close access for those less mobile.
There is another tactic to scattering the shelters. If any stupid military offense aimed at hitting the shelters, they couldn't target them all. In the suburbs, where the population is about 1,500 persons per square mile, you would only require about ten shelters per square mile. You would save half or more, of the population by just these measures. You, of course, must increase the density of the shelters proportionate to the density of population, but even these more densely clustered shelters are still too far apart to be practical targets.
About 20 percent of the U.S. population lives in densities above 6,000 people per square mile. In the cities, population densities are quite high during working hours. For these areas, clusters of shelters would be built. The civil defense system would have to provide additional, special shelters for the com춎uters in those densely populated areas. You would need shelters at home in suburbia in case of an evening attack (and we will talk extensively about those later--you can even make a nice cool summer home underground). Downtown residents would go to their local shelters. Commuters would go into large shelters underneath the building in which they work, or they would have to walk a bit farther to extra local shelters.
This does mean some extra care in structuring, drainage and preparation, but most buildings have basements and sub-basements, anyway.
I TELL YOU, BEFORE WE GO FARTHER IN THIS DISSERTATION. WERE IT NOT FOR THE INTERACTION OF WE, YOUR SPACE COMMAND WITH YOUR COUNTRY'S LEADERS; THIS WOULD ALL BE A MOST MOOT DISCUSSION. THE SOVIETS KNOW OF YOUR WEAKNESS, BUT THEY ARE YOUR ALLIES AT THE TOP LEVELS OF FINANACIAL BASTIONS. QUITE FRANKLY, YOUR TOP IDIOTS ARE MORE AFRAID OF US THAN THEY ARE OF ANYTHING ELSE IN YOUR COSMIC SECTORS. THEY KNOW THEY CANNOT STAND AGAINST US AND THEY ALSO KNOW WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO STOP ANNIHILATION OF A PLANET. SHORT OF THAT WE CAN NOT INTERFERE EXCEPT TO GIVE YOU MIND LESSONS SUCH AS THIS.
WE CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT IS THE PROBLEM, WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOURSELVES AND THEN YOU MUST TAKE THE ACTION. IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO DO SO, THEN MILLIONS WILL PERISH FOR IT WILL ULTIMATELY COME TO PASS. PERHAPS MUCH SOONER THAN LATER. ALL IT WILL REQUIRE IS ONE IRRATIONAL LEADER TO LAUNCH ONE ATOMIC WARHEAD AND ALL OF YOUR MOST FANATICAL, IRRATIONAL COUNTRIES HAVE CAPABILITY.
I want to speak more on city installations of shelters but I want you to take a break, Dharma, as these long sessions are quite debilitating for you.
Ashtar to stand-by. Salu and out.
