Shalom, Barney. Very strange developments this morning. Was watching for some basketball and saw CNN. Minuo Morita a Japanese Political commentator was being translated by some girl. Apparently he was bemoaning the fact that people are ignoring the coming CRISIS IN JAPAN. It is very convoluted and is specific to current Japanese current events, but apparently Morita as I heard it said that the way the leading commentators in Japan to say there is no cause for worry, that "is sick." And that the present president of Japan cannot step aside until he winds up the signing of this alliance with RUSSIA. RUSSIA AND JAPAN. I repeat--RUSSIA AND JAPAN. Did anyone else see this that can say this did or did not happen as I perceived it? Also, had you the SLIGHTEST notion that the Japanese in the process of formalizing military ties with RUSSIA? Also right now the Freedom Forum is on C-SPAN after Morita. They are talking about how the Titanic message was being received by private intities and instead of sending the morse code on to people who could help, the airwaves were jammed with a handful of private morse code receivers who were contacting each other asking if they heard of a ship tapping out an SOS. That's a mind boggler. I must contact the Free Forum in Arlington, VA. Looks interesting. Now they are discussing FCC regulations taking over free time on the air waves. Back to Japan. I think we should be praying right now for our own hides and direction. I think that's what I feel. I don't even know what I feel, except it ain't good. Also, I am just passing this on since I have been a little weirder out on the flow of things on earth now for a couple of months, and nothing has made me feel any more assured everything is actually just fine. Actually, everything is on the brink of everything not good apparently.
