This is the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER(R), 1629 K St. NW, Washington,
DC 20006.

Hello, my friends, this is Dr. Beter. Today is January 29,
1982, and this is my AUDIO LETTER(R) No. 71.

On the afternoon of Wednesday January 13 there was a rare
blizzard here in Washington, D.C. Government offices and
businesses closed up early to allow workers to head home. As
commuters fought their way through the worsening snowstorm, the
nation's capital turned into one giant traffic jam. The worst
jams of all were on the bridges that led across the Potomac River
to the nearby suburbs in Virginia. Motorists inched across the
snow-swept bridges in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Only a few hundred feet above the jam-packed bridges, jet
airliners were climbing into the swirling snowstorm. The planes
were taking off from National Airport nestled next to the River
just south of the heart of Washington. Following required
procedures, the jets were twisting and turning to stay over the
Potomac River as they climbed.

Suddenly drivers on the twin 14th Street bridges, closest of
all to the Airport, looked up in horror. A blue, green, and
white jet liner came screaming down out of the blizzard. There
was a deafening roar; a smashing of metal that shook the bridge;
a giant splash that shattered the smooth ice on the Potomac; then
for a shocked moment, silence; then pandemonium as people poured
out of their stalled cars. On the bridge there was a grizzly
scene of wrecked cars. A 50-foot span of the bridge railing was
gone, and in the river below the shattered remains of the jet
liner were fast sinking out of sight. Soon special news
bulletins were flashing across the country. An Air Florida
Boeing 737, Flight 90 to Tampa, Florida, had crashed on take-off
from Washington's National Airport!

In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, news reports
focused on the heart-rending human interest aspects of the crash.
Time after time we have seen television scenes of the make-shift
rescue efforts. Few will soon forget those numbing scenes of a
precious few survivors being fished out of the icy Potomac River.
Millions were inspired by the heroism of a bystander who risked
his own life by swimming out to rescue a drowning woman. And, my
friends, our Lord Jesus Christ Himself will reward the greatest
hero of all that day. He was the crash survivor who time after
time passed the rescue ring to others and then perished himself.
He was the man to whom the entity President Reagan referred the
following day in a New York City speech. Speaking as he was in
the true Bolshevik-Zionist capital of the United States, our
alleged president misquoted our Lord Jesus Christ in the words
"Greater glory has no man." Surely the man who gave his life
that others might live deserves a better epitaph than a
politician's preoccupation with glory. What our Lord Jesus
Christ really said was: "Greater love hath no man than this, that
a man lay down his life for his friends." That is what our Lord
Himself did nearly 2000 years ago, and that is what the man in
the water did after the crash of the Air Florida Flight 90.

My friends, the very human tragedy of the crash of Flight 90
is important all by itself; but if we are to have any hope of
avoiding even greater tragedies that are looming ahead, we must
look beyond the human-interest stories. We need the answers to
some important questions such as: Why was there a plane crash
at all that day? Why that plane? And what made it crash?

We are being led to believe that we are being given answers to
those questions; but the true answers, my friends, are far
different from what you have heard up to now!

The crash of Air Florida Flight 90 was a terrible tragedy, but
it was also more than that. It was also intended as a warning to
certain powerful circles here in the United States, and as such
it was not an isolated incident but part of a much larger pattern
now taking shape.

For some five years now a secret war has been underway between
the present rulers of Russia and those of the United States. The
secret war has waxed and waned, and now it's heating up once
again. In the ongoing secret war it is now Russia that is taking
the offensive. Having put out the fuse on the Poland time bomb
at least for the moment, the Kremlin is now counterattacking
against their Bolshevik enemies here. Russia's secret new rulers
are trying to send a message to the Bolsheviks, who have seized
power here in America. The message is: WAR DOES NOT PAY. The
Russians are delivering this warning message in many ways which
are totally unsuspected by most of the public.

My friends, the Russians are once again unleashing geophysical
warfare against the United States and against some of our allies.
One aspect of this geophysical onslaught is weather warfare. The
crash of Air Florida Flight 90 was brought about in the midst of
largely manmade severe weather. The Russians are also firing
warning shots across America's bow by means of another
geophysical warfare weapon--artificial earthquakes. The Russians
are also readying themselves for attack on another front--the
economy of America and the West. This month, January 1982, the
Kremlin has scored a stunning economic coup. Before the year is
out the entire economy of the United States will be vulnerable to
a total collapse at Russia's hands!

In this AUDIO LETTER I want to give you the details about the
new Russian offensive now underway. Also, I plan to resume
reporting each month by means of the AUDIO LETTER tape series.
Based on the response of my comments in AUDIO LETTER No. 70 last
month, I believe this is the best way I can serve you after all
at this time. I will say more about that in my "Last Minute
Summary."

My three special topics for this AUDIO LETTER are:

Topic #1--THE "SIBERIAN EXPRESS" AND RENEWED RUSSIAN GEOPHYSICAL
WARFARE
Topic #2--RUSSIA'S SECRET ECONOMIC COUP IN DOLLAR ASSETS
Topic #3--THE SHIFTING ALLIANCES FOR NUCLEAR WAR ONE

Topic #1--In his famous Liberty or Death speech of March 1775,
Patrick Henry said some words that have taken on new meaning in
our modern age. He said, quote:

"Gentlemen may cry, peace, peace; but there is no peace. The
war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north
will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms!"

Today, voices in Washington talk of keeping the peace; but today,
even more than in Patrick Henry's day, the cries of "peace" are a
sham. A secret war is underway, and this month unprecedented
gales have swept in from the north as part of that secret war.

For the United States as a whole, January 1982 has been the
most severe in history. Records for low temperatures have been
broken by wide margins in countless places from the Canadian
border to Florida. There has been blizzard piled on blizzard to
paralyze even the northern states who are accustomed to snow, and
in vast areas of the southern United States there have been
historically unprecedented blasts of sub-zero arctic air.
Snowstorms, sleetstorms, freezing rain, bitter cold--that has
been the story for the eastern two-thirds of the United States
this January.

Meanwhile, the west coast has primarily faced a different
problem--spells of incredible rainstorms causing giant mud slides
and many deaths. And caught in between, the Rocky Mountain
states have had their own unique problems. There have been
violent windstorms with winds in some areas more powerful than
most hurricanes. Only a few days ago winds reached an awesome
140 miles per hour in northern Colorado.

The National Weather Service of the United States has come up
with a popular nickname for the repeated invasions of arctic air
this winter. They are calling it the "Siberian Express", and
with good reason. Northern Siberia in the Soviet Union is one of
the coldest regions on the face of the earth. That is exactly
where the supercooled air has been coming from to spill all
across North America; and, my friends, it has been directed here
by weather modification techniques!

Russia's basic weapons for massive weather modification are
still as I reported nearly two years ago in AUDIO LETTER No. 54.
The Russians used two legs of their secret space triad of manned
strategic weapons. One leg is their fleet of Cosmospheres which
levitate in the Earth's electromagnetic field. Using their beam
weapons they are able to guide storm systems by altering the
electrical charges in the upper atmosphere. And to set off
certain types of storms, the Russians use another leg of their
secret space triad--that is, their complex of Moon bases. The
enormously powerful particle beam weapons on the moon can be
fired into the ocean to set off storms. Squadrons of
Cosmospheres then take advantage of natural weather forces to
build up and guide these artificial storms. I described the
process in detail in AUDIO LETTER No. 54 so will not repeat it
again now.

As I revealed at that time, the Russians began using these new
weather war techniques against the United States that month,
February 1980. The Kremlin was counterattacking against the
Carter Administration grain embargo against Russia. The
Bolsheviks here were trying to use their old favorite weapon,
hunger, against the Russia they used to control. Russia's new
rulers responded with weather control designed to reduce our
crops; and in February 1980 that took the form of incredible
rainstorms lashing agricultural areas of southern California and
Arizona. The Carter Administration grain embargo continued
through the summer of 1980, and so did Russian weather
modification.

Much to the surprise of long-range weather forecasters here,
the summer of 1980 set records for drought and blistering heat.
Crops died for lack of rain and excessive heat; thousands of
cattle died for the same reasons. In the Southwest millions of
chickens fried on their feet under the blistering heat wave;
water shortages started multiplying nation-wide; and to drive the
point home to our then peanut farmer president, the peanut crop
failed--something previously unheard of.

The Bolsheviks here still continued the grain embargo through
the end of 1980. There was about to be a change of
administration, and the new administration was expected to end
the embargo; but just to make sure, the Russians kept up the
pressure. In January 1981, just one year ago, a strange cold
wave hit the United States. As the late Washington Star reported
on January 13, 1981, quote: "Siberian cold spread a record freeze
across the Southeast today, dipping deep into Florida where
citrus and vegetable growers fought to save their crops against
the worst winter onslaught of the century." That day it was
announced that 25% of Florida's citrus crops had been killed by
the freeze. The freeze had also killed up to half of America's
supply of certain vegetables. If that news report of a year ago
has a familiar ring to it, my friends, it certainly ought to.
The strange river of arctic air that froze America's east coast
and damaged Florida's crops one year ago this month was a product
of Russian weather modification. It was a limited taste of what
could be done. It was a warning to America's rulers that they
were courting disaster with their campaign of hunger against
Russia. Three months later the grain embargo against Russia was
lifted. In response, Russian weather war against America was
terminated; and last summer, the summer of 1981, returned to
normal in terms of weather.

That is how it stood until mid-December. Then came martial
law in Poland; and by then the American Bolsheviks, who did not
initially control the so-called Reagan Administration, had
regained power here in Washington. Right away the entity
President Reagan started talking about sanctions against Russia,
just as his predecessor had done over Afghanistan; and once again
the new administration started saying that a new grain embargo
should be considered against Russia. This time, said the
President, steps should be taken to make the embargo airtight.
That was enough for Russia's new rulers. They know about the
efforts by the Reagan-Begin Axis to bring on war, and they are
convinced that the time to talk is growing very short. They are
convinced that war is inevitable between Russia and Russia's
recently expelled masters, the Bolsheviks, who are now here in
America. So in late December the Politburo agreed that the time
had come to take the offensive against the United States.

The Russian weather offensive began with a rainstorm attack
against the west coast. Using the techniques I detailed in AUDIO
LETTER No. 54, Cosmospheres were deployed partly offshore and
partly inland. Those offshore, deployed in quadrangles of four
Cosmospheres each, used defocused electron beams to set up
negatively-charged vapor clouds. Inland, some distance from the
coast, duos of two Cosmospheres each loaded the atmosphere with
positively-charged protons from defocused beam weapons. This
resulted in the movement of vast quantities of water to target
areas for release as rain. The rainstorm attack formation was
set up to bring varying amounts of rainfall to most of the west
coast, especially California; but the area chosen as the primary
target was a 200-mile stretch centered on San Francisco. Their
reason for selecting San Francisco is very simple. Russia's new
ruling group regard the United States as degenerate, and the most
degenerate of all west coast cities in their view is San
Francisco. For several days beginning on January 5, the region
around San Francisco was drenched by unrelenting torrents of
rain. It continued until San Francisco was isolated, cut off by
flood waters; and in the Santa Cruz area south of San Francisco
half a mountain side collapsed carrying with it houses, cars and
more than 20 victims. By the weekend the rainstorm attack was
tapering off.

The next weather attack was brewing in the form of a vast wave
of arctic air--the first Siberian Express was on the way. The
technique used for the Siberian Express is a new variation on the
Cosmosphere techniques of AUDIO LETTER No. 54. The Russians have
now learned how to take a huge air mass from one place in the
world and transport it to another area of the planet:

First, the Russians deployed a large number of Cosmospheres, 17
squadrons in all, over northeastern Siberia. The area covered
ranged from about 105 to 170 degrees East Longitude, and
Latitudes from 65 degrees northward to the Arctic Ocean. These
Cosmospheres used defocused electron beams over a period of days
to give a strong negative charge to the whole frigid air mass.
The Siberian air temperature ranged from 60 to 70 degrees below
zero.

Next, a series of Cosmosphere squadrons were deployed at
intervals of roughly 1000 miles across the North Pacific toward
America. These Cosmosphere squadrons, like beads on a necklace,
followed a line from a point north of Japan to the vicinity of
Eureka, northern California. The Cosmospheres in this
transPacific line formed the tracks for the Siberian Express air
mass to follow. Hovering at the fringes of space, they pumped
out vast quantities of positive protons to attract the Siberian
air mass toward America. The negatively-charged Siberian air was
attracted eastward and also higher than normal where it moved
relatively unaffected by lower atmosphere weather patterns.

On weather maps the Siberian air masses are drawn as if they
are flowing down horizontally from Canada, but the Siberian air
actually arrives by a different route. It is pulled in over
northwestern North America above the other weather; then from the
Continental Divide eastward, Cosmospheres pull it down to flood
the land with supercold air. In other words, it spills all over
North America primarily from above, not by the normal horizontal
path. The Siberian air reaches here so fast by this manmade
route that it does not warm up as much as it would otherwise.
The result: bone-chilling weather that has many weathermen
scratching their heads. And as a by-product of this technique,
violent windstorms are created around the edges of the
downward-spilling Siberian air. These are especially intense
along the Rocky Mountains.

The first Siberian Express cold wave was timed carefully.
Earlier I mentioned the January 13, 1981 reports of a freeze that
destroyed part of Florida's crops. This year the news on January
13, one year later to the day, a killer freeze had once again
just hit Florida, only this time it was far worse. Last January
damage amounted to some $230-million, but this time as much as
84% of the Florida citrus and vegetable crops froze for losses of
over a billion dollars.

The news of Florida's staggering crop losses came on Wednesday
January 13. That same afternoon an Air Florida Boeing 737 tried
to take off from National Airport here in Washington. It was the
ill-fated Flight 90 bound for Tampa, Florida. Flight 90 and many
others were delayed that afternoon because of the snowstorm. The
main runway, which runs north and south, was closed for over an
hour while the snow was cleaned off. Meanwhile Flight 90 and
other planes boarded their passengers and waited at the terminal.
As they waited, ground crews sprayed a kind of antifreeze
solution on the planes. A surviving passenger of Flight 90,
himself a pilot, was quoted two days later in the Washington Post
in the words: "They were de-icing the aircraft continuously."
Finally word came from the control tower that the runway was
ready. Jet liners started pulling away from the terminal, lining
up to taxi out to the runway. It was still snowing but
reportedly it was a cold dry snow, much less likely to cause
icing than sleet or freezing rain. Later one of the pilots of
another plane said he thought he had seen ice on the Air Florida
jet. Other pilots, though, said they had seen no ice at all on
it.

As Flight 90 waited its turn, 18 other airplanes took off
without any apparent difficulty--one was a 737 like the Air
Florida jet belonging to another air line. Unlike Flight 90, it
was carrying a full load of passengers. It took off without
incident, but the Air Florida jet was destined to be less
fortunate! Unknown to the other passengers there were five
important military personnel aboard. They were members of a
Special Laser Warfare Task Force assigned to the home of the
so-called Rapid Deployment Force in Florida. That is the
military force, my friends, which is undergoing highly secret
preparations for the coming Middle East war. Having engaged in
meetings at the Pentagon, the men were returning to their home
base in Florida.

At last the Air Florida 737 took its position at the end of
the runway. As it did so, it was being tracked by a Russian
Cosmosphere hovering high above the Airport in the midst of storm
clouds; it was armed with a neutron beam weapon. At 3:59 PM the
jet started its take-off roll down the runway. The Cosmosphere
waited until the jet was about half way down the runway and
moving over 100 miles per hour. Then the invisible neutron beam
was fired down through the snow at the cockpit of the jet liner.
In AUDIO LETTER 64 I described the effects which are produced by
an intense blast of neutron radiation. It disrupts all
electrical activity. That includes the electrical activity of
the human body including the brain, the eyes, the nervous system,
and the heart. When the beam was fired at the Air Florida jet,
it was expected that the pilot and copilot would be instantly
rendered unconscious or killed. That would have left the jet
still accelerating, perhaps drifting off the runway, and finally
leaving the boundaries of the small airport to plunge into the
river. It would have been a very strange crash and one very hard
for Government officials here to explain away to the public--but
the Russians miscalculated. Individuals vary considerably in
their resistance to neutron radiation effects, and apparently
someone in the cockpit retained some shred of consciousness.

I cannot tell you what went on in the cockpit, but I can tell
you what the plane did. The jet continued down the runway
instead of drifting off. There was also an effort to apply the
brakes, yet the engines kept going full blast. The plane started
shuddering, but the brakes could not prevent the plane from
continuing to accelerate slowly. The plane reached full take-off
speed as it ran out of runway and rotated upward into a climb.
At that point it's believed that whoever was at the controls may
have finally blacked out. The plane was pointing upward far too
steeply and started mushing through the air instead of climbing
normally. No pilot or copilot would have let that continue, and
yet it was never corrected. Equally startling, the landing gear
was never pulled up. Normally the gear is lifted immediately
after take-off to help streamline the plane. That would be even
more urgent if a pilot were having troubles with ice, as has been
alleged, or if a crash landing were imminent. But when the Air
Florida jet dropped out of the snowy sky that afternoon, it was
still nose up and gear down, and from brake release to impact
there was never a Mayday call from Flight 90.

Five days later a Russian Cosmosphere triggered another
spectacular plane crash to continue driving home the warning to
our leaders. The pride of the Air Force, the aerial
demonstration team called "The Thunderbirds", were practicing
near Indian Springs Air Force Base, Nevada. They were practicing
a maneuver known as "Line Abreast Loop" in which the four T-38
jets swoop down in a steep dive and then pull up close to the
ground. It is not considered the most difficult of the
Thunderbirds' maneuvers but it does call for close coordination.
The leader concentrates on getting the loop just right, the other
three concentrate on following the leader precisely. That
afternoon over the Nevada desert a Cosmosphere was waiting. As
the four jets screamed earthward, the Cosmosphere waited until
they neared the ground. Then the neutron beam was fired at the
cockpit of the lead plane, incapacitating the pilot. The lead
plane plowed into the desert and the other three, following the
leader, did the same.

Meanwhile by that time the nation was in the grip of the
second Siberian Express supercold wave. And, my friends,
Russia's geophysical warfare campaign includes other things
besides the weather.

In AUDIO LETTER No. 59, 15 months ago, I reported that Russian
earthquake-generating cobalt bombs had been planted in the
Northeast. They are concentrated most heavily around New York
City; but as I reported then, also extend northeast into New
England. Since that time additional earthquake generators have
been planted, and this month they have been used twice. On the
morning of January 9 an earthquake measured at 5.9 on the Richter
scale was set off in eastern Canada near Maine. It was the worst
New England earthquake in 127 years. Nine days later, a second
earthquake was set off, this time in New Hampshire.

If there should be another earthquake soon in the Northeast,
don't be surprised if it is even closer to New York City. The
Russians are on the offensive, and our war-crazy Rulers are
refusing to heed these warnings.

Topic #2--This year of 1982 has started out with bad news on the
economic front. Inflation is said to have slackened off
slightly; but as every householder knows, it has not gone away by
any means. Only a short decade ago President Nixon declared a
"National Emergency" when official inflation rates reached only 7
to 8%. If anyone had told you then that 10% inflation was on the
way, you probably would not have believed it; yet today we are
supposed to be "relieved" when inflation drops to that level.

As bad as inflation is, another worry is pushing it into the
background in the minds of millions of Americans. The No. 1
worry now is that of losing one's job--and no wonder. Early this
month it was announced that unemployment, as officially
calculated, reached 8.9% in December. Among blue-collar workers
who actually produce the nation's goods, it is even worse. More
than one out of eight is out of work. Unemployment is worst of
all in the auto industry. Officially, nearly 22% of all auto
workers ended December without a job.

The auto industry, my friends, is not just in a recession;
it's in a depression. The same is true of housing and
construction. And as I detailed in AUDIO LETTER No. 69, these
two sectors are the keys to throwing America's entire economy
into a DEPRESSION. We are descending deeper and deeper into the
mire of economic stagflation--that is, high inflation with high
unemployment.

There's nothing accidental about it, my friends. It's being
orchestrated by powerful forces who are bent on seizing more
power, and the plans were laid long ago! That's why I was able
to give details in advance about our present woes eight years ago
in my book THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE DOLLAR. For example,
American business today is being strangled by a credit crunch,
the so-called tight money policy of the privately-owned Federal
Reserve Corporation. The tight money and high interest rates, we
are told, are the bitter medicine we must take in order to cure
inflation. As a result, small and medium-size industries which
welcomed inflation just a few short years ago are now in distress
because of it. The situation now is the one I tried to warn
against eight years ago. On page 83 of my book I expressed it
this way, and I quote:

"...in the early stages of stagflation, those industries in
debt are able to pay off their indebtedness with cheap dollars.
But, in the later stages, these same industries are apt to
experience a scarcity of capital..."

The White House and Capitol Hill are well aware that millions
of us are hurting badly from the worsening economic conditions;
and so to make political hay, they are all pointing fingers at
one another and proclaiming themselves to be our champions.
Meanwhile, what have they done concretely to deal with the
situation? Why, of course, they are helping themselves!

Only a few days ago the Internal Revenue Service announced a
tremendous new windfall tax break for members of Congress. The
new rules, which were ordered by Congress, virtually exempt
Congressmen and Senators from paying any federal income tax.
While the rest of us struggle to make ends meet, Congress has
once again made sure that its members do not share our plight.
Workers who have given up big chunks of their pay lately in order
to save their companies must still pay up to Uncle Sam--but not
your Senator or Congressman! I suggest you remember that the
next time you see any member of Congress crying crocodile tears
about your economic woes.

And what about the Federal Reserve Board which is responsible
for setting the high interest rates that are choking our economy?
Might the nation's private central banking system relent a bit in
view of the frightening upsurge in unemployment?

Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker answered that earlier
this week in a speech in Las Vegas. Speaking to a convention of
Home Builders, Volcker said in effect that the interest rate
crunch is doing what it is supposed to do. Therefore, said
Volcker, the Federal Reserve has no intention of lowering
interest rates and loosening up money. But then why should
anyone expect anything else from Paul Volcker? As I detailed in
my book eight years ago, Volcker was one of the prime architects
of the long-range plan to ruin the dollar; and I revealed more
about Volcker's role about the coming depression and war in my
very first talking tape in 1974. In that tape I mentioned
Volcker's role as one of the prime conspirators who helped spirit
away America's gold.

On all sides, my friends, there is corruption, double dealing,
lies, conflicts of interest, and criminality in high places.

Last month I reported that a new phase of the Gold Scandal is
underway. It involves the movement of gold from the New York
Assay Office to the insecure West Point Depository. The
so-called Reagan Administration is preparing to close down the
New York Assay Office and is giving excuses for it that make no
sense whatsoever. One such excuse is to improve security, but
the security at West Point is even worse than that of the New
York Assay Office. Another excuse for moving the gold is said to
be to save money, but hundreds of thousands of dollars are being
squandered at West Point because of the gold transfer. The only
real result of the gold transfer will be to make it easier to
steal!

As I reported last month, one of the principals involved in
implementing the plan to shut down the Assay Office was Dr. Alan
Goldman. Goldman has been with the Bureau of the Mint since
1970, and has been its Deputy Director for some time. The
Director, Donna Pope, is a political appointee with little more
than figurehead status; therefore it's Goldman who has really
been running the Bureau of the Mint--that is, until a few weeks
ago.

There has been a very odd new development. Having helped to
set the events in motion for a shutdown of the New York Assay
Office, Goldman resigned from his top job at the Mint on December
22. Reportedly he has accepted a position in private industry.
So, what's odd about that? Just this: the New York Assay Office
is the only Government-owned facility for refining precious
metals in the country. After it is shut down, the Reagan
Administration plan is to contract out the refining of gold and
other precious metals to a private industrial concern. It will
be a bonanza for whoever receives the Government refining
contract; and Dr. Goldman, who just left the Mint for private
industry, just happens to be an expert in precious metals
refining.

The strange circumstances surrounding the plan to close down
the New York Assay Office are raising many questions, and those
questions multiply in light of major concerns over the shutdown
plan from another source.

That source, my friends is the United States Navy. Up to now
the Assay Office has played a critical role in the Navy's silver
reclamation program. The Navy has an ongoing requirement for
silver reclamation from many tons of materials each year. These
materials include worn-out batteries, photographic supplies, and
many components of classified systems. The Navy sends these
things to the Assay Office in New York which extracts the silver
and returns it to the Navy. In addition, the silver reclamation
program of the Navy generates large amounts of precious metals
by-products. These by-products include not only gold but rare
metals like platinum and iridium, which are much more valuable
than gold. The New York Assay Office does not return these
precious metals by-products to the Navy. Instead they're
returned to the Government's strategic stockpile of critical
materials or to the Treasury. Either way these precious
by-products remain in Government hands. The plan to close down
the Assay Office has the Navy up in arms.

Transferring the silver reclamation program into the hands of
private industry will mean that the Government will lose control
of those precious metals by-products! The Navy is convinced that
the refining contractor will be in a position to pocket large
amounts of the by-products. It will be a tremendous windfall
profit for the refining contractor and could even compromise
national security. The so-called Reagan Administration claims to
consider national security its top priority yet proposes to
damage it by the New York Assay Office shutdown. Yes, a precious
metals by-products profit windfall awaits the private refining
contractor. And, my friends, Dr. Alan Goldman, who has just
joined private industry, was the United States Mint's top
specialist in the area of extracting precious metals by-products.

Besides the Goldman affair, other developments are raising
still more questions about the sudden movement of gold to the
isolated West Point Depository. One of these developments is the
change which is taking place in the recommendation expected soon
from the United States Gold Commission.

In AUDIO LETTER No. 67 I detailed the plan which then existed
for the Gold Commission to propose a new pseudo Gold Standard for
America, but in recent weeks that plan has been changed. Instead
the Administration wants the Commission to recommend only that a
new gold coin be minted for its psychological value. The earlier
pseudo Gold Standard plan would have required that some gold be
on hand, but now the United States Government suddenly needs to
be free to sell gold secretly through intermediaries on the free
market. The reason is a stunning economic coup by Russia.

United States Intelligence operatives first picked up hints
that something big was in the works early last fall. As the
information developed, the decision was made to move the New York
Assay Office gold to West Point; and earlier this month on
January 11 the dreaded Russian economic coup began to take place.
What took place that day was a secret financial transaction in
Geneva, Switzerland--the first of many which cannot be reversed!
A deal was struck which will progressively give the Russian
government a decisive economic edge over the United States. It
will give the Soviet Union devastating leverage over the United
States Treasury Department in particular and thus over the
economic fate of this country in general!

When the series of transactions which began this month have
been completed, it will give the Kremlin effective control over
America's economic structure. The Russians will be in a position
to use this unique power in any way they choose. They can use it
to disrupt the economic maneuvers of the great and powerful
forces here, if desired. They can also use it to destroy the
investments and assets of every person having a bank account or
fund denominated in dollars, or they can threaten America's
rulers with economic blackmail if America's secret war
preparations are not stopped. Once the transactions now underway
are completed, those capabilities will be in Russia's hands!

The transaction of January 11 was a huge gold sale by Russia
to certain other interests. First, Russia had placed billions of
dollars worth of gold in escrow under control of three Geneva
banks. Then the buyers of the gold paid for it in billions of
dollars worth of United States Treasury securities--that is,
title to these Treasury instruments of liability was transferred
to the Soviet Union. The sale is to be only the first of many
because the gold buyers control vast quantities of Treasury
securities--that is, billions of dollars worth of Treasury Bills,
Notes, and Bonds. These securities bear interest and mature at
specified dates. At the maturity date the holder has the right
to turn them in and receive full payment of the principal from
the Treasury Department, but usually that does not happen. Most
big holders of Treasury securities roll them over at the maturity
date--that is, the holder exchanges the old note or bond for a
new one and continues collecting interest. But now billions upon
billions of dollars worth of these United States Treasury
securities are beginning to move into the hands of the Russian
government; and once they hold a large enough hoard of these
Treasury instruments, the Russians can choose not to roll them
over. They can present them to the Treasury Department and say,
"Pay up."

Intelligence circles here in the United States were notified
immediately after consummation of the first deal on January 11.
In response certain Government officials here are trying to undo
the agreement by attempting to reduce the market price of gold.
To that end, gold from what little is left of America's decimated
stockpile is being secretly sold on the open market through
devious channels; but so far this tactic has had little effect on
the gold markets.

In any case, my friends, the agreement has been struck between
Russia and certain Persian Gulf Arabs, and both parties have
already resolved that they will follow through even if the market
price of gold drops to zero, because this financial transaction
is a rare one in the history of the world. It is based primarily
on moral grounds. Both parties believe that the United States
has become hopelessly degenerate. In their eyes, America is
Babylon; and until 'Babylon' falls, the world will never know
peace.

As I say these words, the clammy atmosphere of panicky fear is
taking hold in certain financial circles here. The sum total of
all outstanding Treasury obligations--that is, the national
debt--now stands at one trillion dollars! The Soviet Union has
now begun acquiring control of a portion of that debt. Top
Treasury officials are beginning to see the specter of calamity
looming ahead. Some day Russia may, in effect, walk into the
United States Treasury as if it were a bank and withdraw her
deposits. The strain thus produced could induce other large
holders of Treasury securities to do the same out of fear of
weakness in the Treasury's position. It could all snowball into
the great-granddaddy of all bank runs, an international run on
the Treasury of the United States! The Treasury could not
possibly pay off the trillion-dollar national debt and so the
Treasury would collapse--and with it would go the entire economy
of the United States, and finally of the entire Western world.

Topic #3--Three days ago, on January 26, the entity President
Reagan gave his first "State of the Union" speech. That same day
an all-day meeting took place in Geneva, Switzerland, between the
two top diplomats of America and Russia. Secretary of State
Alexander Haig and Russia's Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko met
far longer than expected that day, nearly eight hours in all.

The reasons given publicly for the meeting were intentionally
vague; supposedly there was no particular agenda for the
meeting--nothing specific to negotiate, no clear-cut goals to be
accomplished. In fact, the main comments the two sides made to
reporters beforehand were about what they intended not to
discuss. Haig said he would not talk about any resumption of the
SALT talks; Gromyko said he would not talk about Poland; and at
the end of the day, even the single announced outcome of the
discussions was negative. We were told that any effort to set up
an East-West summit between Reagan and Brezhnev was being put on
a back burner.

That's how the meeting between Haig and Gromyko looked on the
surface, but behind closed doors what went on that day was far
different. The meeting took place only 15 days after Russia
concluded her momentous secret financial transaction, and it was
symbolic that both Russia's financial coup and the Haig-Gromyko
meeting took place in the same city, Geneva.

The meeting of Haig and Gromyko reflects a startling new
turning point in international relations. To understand what
happened, it is essential to realize that the struggle for world
power today is more complex than it appears on the surface.
Daily news reports make it appear that it is basically a struggle
between two antagonists--the United States and Russia. Everyone
else gets classified as an American ally, or as a Russian
satellite, or as part of the non-aligned Third World so called.
That concept is simple and easy for just about everyone to
understand. It's the old us vs. them idea. Unfortunately it
happens to be wrong.

The fact is that today the struggle for world power is not
two-sided, but three-sided. There are three great power factions
at work in the world today, each one jostling and maneuvering
against the other two. I have devoted many past reports to
giving you details about these three power factions and their
relationships to one another, but let me just remind you once
again who they are.

POWER FACTION NO. 1 is the Rockefeller cartel, which embraces Big
Oil, Big Banking, and large chunks of Big Business. Until about
three years ago the Rockefeller cartel reigned supreme here in
the United States. American government policies were Rockefeller
policies, and American wars were Rockefeller wars.

POWER FACTION NO. 2 is the international Bolshevik and Zionist
axis. As I detailed in AUDIO LETTER Nos. 49 and 50, Bolshevism
and Zionism are closely related and owe their existence partly to
Rockefeller help long ago. After Bolshevism was imposed on
Russia in 1917, a secret alliance was forged between the
Bolsheviks in Russia and the Rockefeller cartel here. For six
decades these two factions orchestrated the actions of the Soviet
Union and the United States for mutual benefit. By pretending to
be enemies, they established a giant pincers movement that was
gobbling up the world; but

POWER FACTION NO. 3 has completely changed that picture during
the past few years. This third faction is the tightly-knit band
of native Russians who have overthrown the Bolsheviks at the top
in Russia. Russia's new rulers are a tough sect of Christians
who are working from the top down to gradually weed out all the
Bolsheviks in Russia. It's a Herculean task, but they are more
patient than we in the West. They worked for six decades to
seize control of the Kremlin and they know better than to become
hasty or impatient now. During recent years the new Kremlin has
been expelling the hated Bolsheviks from Russia.

Here in America the Rockefellers made the fatal mistake of
welcoming the Bolsheviks from Russia. The Bolsheviks can never
share power with anyone, and some three years ago they launched a
coup d'etat against the Rockefellers. The coup began with the
murder of Nelson Rockefeller, which was quickly disguised and
covered up. Then Russian Intelligence intervened here in
Washington to prevent the Bolsheviks from achieving total
success.

Since that time there have been these three factions
struggling for power. Here in America the Rockefeller cartel is
fighting a guerilla war against the Bolsheviks for control over
our country. The Bolsheviks with their Zionist partners in
Israel are feverishly trying to get America into nuclear war
against Russia. And in Russia, the secret new rulers are
continuing to root out Bolshevism; and as they do so,
Christianity is beginning to revive in Russia. It's a long
process, but it's happening. At the same time the Kremlin is
preparing for what they regard as the inevitable war even as they
try to prevent it. So these are the three power factions now at
work.

Here in America the Bolsheviks, transplanted here after their
expulsion from Russia, bent on war against Russia. Also here in
America the Rockefeller cartel, who no longer want war for the
reasons I detailed in AUDIO LETTER No. 67. They are preoccupied
with regaining control over America. And the third faction,
Russia's new rulers, do not want war for moral reasons.

My friends, the meeting of Haig and Gromyko this week was
actually a tough bargaining session between the Russians and the
Rockefeller faction here. For entirely different reasons, they
presently find themselves with some interests in common! Both
are now deadly enemies of the Bolsheviks here--the Rockefellers
on a domestic basis, the Russians on an international basis. And
for totally different reasons, both the Rockefeller cartel and
the Russians want to prevent the war which the Bolsheviks are
trying to set off.

During recent months secret meetings have taken place between
the representatives of the Rockefeller cartel and Russia's ruling
group. Those meetings led up to the Haig-Gromyko meeting this
week. My friends, a quid pro quo is now in the works between the
Russians and the Rockefeller cartel. It will be aimed at their
mutual enemy, the Bolsheviks.

Meanwhile, the Bolsheviks here are continuing to line up
support for the big war they intend to ignite soon. At the same
time the Russians are equally busy trying to dissuade other
countries from getting involved. These cross currents are
producing some surprising line-ups for war.

Here is how it stands as of now, but keep in mind that further
changes are bound to happen:

On the side of the United States, Red China is the Bolsheviks'
greatest prize up to now. Due to sheer numbers, Red China can
tie down 50 Russian Divisions. Chinese geography is also
crucial, especially Sinkiang Province, for American bases to
attack Russia. Other major allies as of now are Great Britain,
Australia, and New Zealand. New Zealand, by the way, is far more
important than one might expect. The Bolsheviks here are also
lining up the North Countries--Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Of
these, Norway is both the most important and most deeply
committed to the war plan. The United States can also count on
certain Latin American countries, and now also English-speaking
Canada. This last represents a major change over the past three
years.

On Russia's side, the Warsaw Pact is still solid except
Poland. Vietnam and North Korea also remain under Russia's
control, as does Cuba. In addition, Russia can expect crucial
help from India, Mexico, and French-speaking Quebec Province,
Canada. Where Russia has made the most dramatic progress is in
convincing nominal allies of the United States to turn neutral at
the secret level. Countries in this category include Japan,
France, Spain, the Netherlands, and even Belgium where NATO
headquarters is located. But the biggest target of all in this
neutral category is West Germany. The Russians are holding out a
firm promise to Bonn if the West Germans will simply "sit out"
any war to come. The promise, my friends, is the reunification
of Germany. That promise was the secret reason behind the recent
historic meeting of the leaders of the two Germanies, Schmidt and
Honecker.

Yes, my friends, the alliances are shifting as we draw closer
to NUCLEAR WAR ONE. Some of these alliances are beginning to
work against the Bolsheviks here; but as the Bolsheviks see the
tide beginning to turn against them, they are only redoubling
their frenzy for war. As a result, this new year of 1982 will be
dangerous, and it may well also be decisive for the future of the
world.

LAST MINUTE SUMMARY

Now it is time for my "Last Minute Summary." As you know,
last month in AUDIO LETTER No. 70 I offered to make a major
change in the format of my Intelligence Report program. The
revised arrangement would have involved less frequent tape
reports with a new printed newsletter every two weeks. Since my
only purpose in making such a change would be to serve you
better, I asked for your reactions to the plan. Based on the
response to AUDIO LETTER No. 70, my friends, my decision is not
to proceed with the new printed newsletter idea. Instead, what I
do plan to do is to resume making a tape every month, as I did
before my heart attack two years ago. I want to thank all of you
who responded with your reactions, as I requested last month. I
know a few of you will be disappointed with the way it turned
out, but I will do my very best to serve you even better than in
the past. After all, serving you is what the AUDIO LETTER is all
about.

Until next month, God willing, this is Dr. Beter. Thank you,
and may God bless each and every one of you.
