Never heard about The Urantia Book until 1991, so what went on in the late 1970s-1980s in USA among the readership is unknown to me and judging from what was going on in the 1990s when I made the error of admitting I was a TUB reader online, I doubt that there is much truth to how that recent history is being re-written. That is why the “fruits” left behind are a better barometer of truth – this was posted about Mr. Vern Grimsley on TruthBook and the hand picked facts to defend Mr. Grimsley were NOT “unknown” at the time – had they been “unknown”, who would “know” them now – but that is not the point I want to make – so here’s the cut and pasted post:
“,,,I did not intimately know Vern Grimsley but knew him and greatly admired his leadership, work and character. It took either foolishness or great courage to advocate preparation for nuclear war in the fall of 1983. In the end it destroyed his work and reputation. One thing I do know of – is Vern Grimsley’s great intelligence, so he likely knew the potential outcomes of his actions.
History, with the release of classified documents from both the CIA and KGB, now shows that the world barely missed a preemptive strike from the USSR at the exact dates he forewarned. This is the closest we came to all out war since the Cuban missile crisis. None of this was known at the time and only came to light after the fall of the USSR. Was his warning just a coincidence considering the climate of the time ?
The outline of the history is that in 1981 the USSR fearing American intentions developed a policy to closely monitor the West for a possible first strike and then beat them to the punch.
Things deteriorated during 1982-1983 with Reagan’s words on the evil empire of the USSR and leaving “Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history” (a poor choice of words). Then came the September 1983 USSR shooting down a Korean Airlines plane with an American congressman on board along with provocative airspace intrusions by the USA.
It reached it’s peak during the Able Archer 83 NATO military exercises from November 2 – November 11, 1983 which the USSR came to believe was preparatory to a first strike by the USA. On November 8th or 9th Moscow reported a US airbase alert and seeking information on an possible American first strike. They estimated they had 7 – 10 days to act first. This would mean they needed a preemptive strike by November 19th, 1983.
It, in the end, didn’t happen and the public was in ignorant bliss, but it changed Reagan’s relations with the USSR and led to de-escalation.
At the time there was talk of Vern Grimsley being a destiny reservist. An individual rehearsed for a possible planetary emergency. I do believe a nuclear strike would fit the bill and preserving the Urantia teachings and leadership would be of great importance to our invisible helpers to help move us forward from such an event. However, one can only speculate on such things, especially since it didn’t happen. The great prayer for all rehearsed for planetary emergencies is that they may never be called….”
Russia had it right about USA and pre-emptive strikes – they were not paranoid. The same hidden, dark and confused cabal, with a withered hand clutching the levers of war-making “power”, IS/WAS/ALWAYS WILL BE dependent on pre-emptive strikes. What USA citizens never expected was that since the cabal could not get away with a pre-emptive strike (to feed their vampire-like need for unearned wealth ala war booty) on the countries with a lot more to steal – like USSR – they launched a pre-emptive strike against the USA, itself, and used that leverage to go invade the Middle East.
What I am infinitely curious about, and what future generations will be asking, is how did the TUB get entangled in such nefarious shenanigans?
A BIG snippet of 1980s history that is absurd to ignore is Pope JP II and the Solidarity movement in Poland. No one cares, in Poland, anyway, about “correcting” the “truth” because truth is relative, especially in USA…and in eternity, it does not matter who chooses to ignore what….always by the “fruits” you will know them….look at everything pre-emptive done to USA citizens since 9/11/2001…up to an including “religion”….it’s like a checklist to do the OPPOSITE of Papers 99 -103….
And that’s what bugs me the most – without TUB, the same “unknown” cabal could never be smart enough to know how many “things” to attack at once in experientially earned cultures….
So, yeah, Vern had it right, even though the FULL reason will probably have to wait to be corrected in the next epochal revelation.
At least we now know that God’s going to keep on raising us with “revelations” of TRUTH. In the meantime, by their fruits you will know them is all around in the material world….
Since we are all wandering down memory lane – THIS song was “it” back then, remember when….?
How can you “trust” auditory communications from an unidentified source seizing a subject’s biologic brain waves to transmit iniquitous SOPs for the death and destruction of the “higher spiritual types” who BUILT what they want to steal and OWN as “God’s Will’?
