SAME OLD SONG AGAIN
Woodstock
Well, I came upon a child of God
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, Tell me, where are you going
This he told me
He was walking along the road
And I asked him, Tell me, where are you going
This he told me
Said, I'm going down to Yasgur's Farm
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free
Gonna join in a rock and roll band
Got to get back to the land and set my soul free
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
Well, then can I roam beside you?
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
I have come to lose the smog,
And I feel myself a cog in somethin' turning
And maybe it's the time of year
Yes and maybe it's the time of man
And I don't know who I am
But life is for learning
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We are billion year old carbon
And we got to get ourselves back to the garden
We are stardust, we are golden
We are billion year old carbon
And we…
We are billion year old carbon
And we…
Woodstock was the end of the flower power era. Haight Ashbury in San Francisco was a power point that had fallen apart by then, It drew the children who ached to be hippies against the generation of the 50's who were drawn around the "Father Knows Best" image of the man earning the income and the wife at home in the apron greeting everyone at the end of the day, gently guiding the children in a house that looked like the furniture just came out of the wrappers. The most important issue was what to wear on the date and the youngest son was always the lead singer in a band. Ozzie Nelson, a band leader in real life, created the music video around his son Ricky. The perfect family of the American Dream. The place no young person could reach became the anti America to children raised in broken urban homes, To children of one parent homes. To children raised in backwater towns. To children portrayed by a San Francisco band decades later long after the Summer of Love was gone:
Those children were, by then, arriving in their "anywheres" a bit more calloused since their "hippie" parents had either gotten so wrapped in their drugs they were absentees or had gotten hospitalized and were their children's children. Or became so sold out they had forgotten their times in the mud or had grown ashamed of it and became their parents, wrapped in the need for money and the perfect car and the perfect drink and the perfect stereo system, their children feeling as they had long ago. But still trapped in that one line from generations before, actually way back into the beginning.
"And we've got to get ourselves back to the garden."
Seeking the something. I related once before that Robert Heinlein wrote a novel called "The Door Into Summer." The title came from the main character's cat who, during the winter had to be shown every door in the house before he would go out for the evening. He was looking for the door into summer instead of winter. Stubbornly clung to the hope of summer until he was shown there was no hope. One song took that clash of money and dreams of peace and lumped it under that Door title:
And the singer happens to be the son of the woman who created white-out which meant a lot to a generation of typists and made a fortune for her and her heirs. Irony seems to follow human beings everywhere.
What matters here, though, is the .garden and the way we left it. It matters because of the four horsemen.
The first four of the seven seals are known as the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. The first seal introduces the Antichrist (Revelation 6:1-2). The second seal causes great warfare (Revelation 6:3-4). The third of the seven seals causes famine (Revelation 6:5-6). The fourth seal brings about plague, further famine, and further warfare (Revelation 6:7-8).

Think back. Think all the way back to Genesis. Think of Nimrod.
Originally established by Nimrod (Genesis 10:11), and today known as Nimrud, Calah became an important city in Iraq. The artist's reconstruction above shows the interior of Tiglath-pileser III's palace there (late seventh century BC).
Nimrod was a very significant man in ancient times, the grandson of Ham and great-grandson of Noah. Nimrod started his kingdom at Babylon (Genesis 10:10). Babylon later reached its zenith under Nebuchadnezzar (sixth century BC).
9 He was a very great bowman, so that there is a saying, Like Nimrod, a very great bowman.
10 And at the first, his kingdom was Babel and Erech and Accad and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.
13 And Mizraim was the father of the Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim;
14 And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.
15 And Canaan was the father of Zidon, who was his oldest son, and Heth,
16 And the Jebusite and the Amorite and the Girgashite,
17 And the Hivite and the Arkite and the Sinite,
18 And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;
19 Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.
20 All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.
(BBE)
Nimrod, the precursor of the Antichrist, of this man on a pale horse, was a great bowman. Perhaps those searching for the AC now should start in the Olympic archery corps of the world. That bow on the rider of the white horse tells you the white is just an earthly color, and identifies him to those who would pay attention.
In the Garden we want to get back to, the devil arrived and seduced Adam and Eve into sin. In the fallen world, the AC arrives and organizes that sin on a unified worldly level.
Re 6:3 And when the second stamp was undone, the voice of the second beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.
4 And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.
(BBE)
Warfare. think back further to Lamech:
Ge 4:23 And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;
24 If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.
(BBE)
It began with murder almost the second we got ourselves evicted from the Garden. Cain killed Abel. Satan hates the image of God found in man and he delights in men destroying each other. In the image being attacking the image. In the view of Christ at war with himself. Lamech essentially precursors war with his threat and now the AC will intensify the push for total obliteration, Satan wants the world as his own without that image of God anywhere on it.
But this is even more. People will put each other to death. Lamech's spirit will be in almost everyone.
Moment of future vision again:
North Korea launched it's attack seeing the ice age on the USA. Most US ICBMs are frozen solid in the ground, silo doors refusing to open against the sudden sheet of ice that formed almost in an instant as it had long ago in the age is the mammoth. But some remain all right . . But there are three tiers in the US nuclear defense shield.
A nuclear triad refers to the nuclear weapons delivery of a strategic nuclear arsenal which consists of three components: land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), strategic bombers, and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs). The purpose of having a three-branched nuclear capability is to significantly reduce the possibility that an enemy could destroy all of a nation's nuclear forces in a first-strike attack; this, in turn, ensures a credible threat of a second strike, and thus increases a nation's nuclear deterrence.
The US has been preparing to add new weaponry to its bomber corps. Stealth bombers, nuclear tipped cruise missiles.

Also under consideration in the Nuclear Posture Review is the fate of the LRSO. Though still in the planning stages, the LRSO is expected to be a stealthy cruise missile with a 2,000-mile range that could be fired from the B-52, B-2, F-35, and eventually the B-21. Deptula explained the LRSO’s mission as such: “…because of its characteristics of small size and signature, range, and speed, LRSO will enable the expansion of simultaneity of attack across the breadth and depth of adversary geography significantly complicating the adversary’s defense calculus.”
The LRSO is under fire because advocates of minimal nuclear deterrence question whether its added capabilities and program cost—between $17 and $20 billion for 1,000 missiles— are necessary. Moreover, they argue that its capabilities will compel adversaries to develop similar weapons and create instability rather than deter it.
Proponents of the LRSO maintain that canceling the program is unlikely to cause adversaries to abandon their own programs, and without the LRSO, the B-52 would be too vulnerable and rendered obsolete decades sooner than planned. They argue the B-21 armed only with gravity bombs would be what Mark Schneider, a senior analyst at the National Institute for Public Policy, called “a sixth generation bomber delivering a 1960s vintage nuclear bomb with a 1990s vintage JDAM tail kit,” in a recent article for Real Clear Defense. If LRSO development continues, it will likely enter service in 2030.
The B-21 and LRSO have the potential to greatly improve the flexibility of the strategic bomber leg of America’s nuclear triad, yet their high cost, long development times, and the unpredictability of future events mean their future success is uncertain. The B-2 serves as a cautionary tale. Designed during the Cold War, the original plans called for 132 bombers, though the fall of the Soviet Union precipitated a slash in defense spending, resulting in only 21 B-2s entering service at a total program cost of nearly $2 billion per aircraft.
If humanity lasts long enough for this armament, some of the planes may go undetected if they close on North Korea. but there is something to remember about that prong in the defense trident: those planes are routed over the North Pole.
Russia has begun to develope the resources up there claiming the area for their own despite the international pressure to keep the territory as sovereign. To keep themselves secret as long as possible, the US bombers may well blast any settlements that could give warning if they are sent.

Most of the bomber contingent will survive since they are designed to survive what was the frozen north.
The US naval fleets remain largely intact. The ones stationed in the Sea of Japan are under attack by the North Korean forces the moment the nukes were launched at the US. Among the ships in the US fleet is a nuclear and nuclear armed submarine.
