I don't normally answer sarcastic and ignorant posts such as yours, but in your
case I think I'll make an exception.

To answer your first question, Dr. Beter died March 14, 1987, from heart attack
number 6.  (It was actually a miracle that he lasted as long as he did.)  His
last radio appearances were on March 1 and March 8, 1986, on the Bob Marshall
Show on CKLN, Toronto, Canada.  In it he stood by the information in his Audio
Letters, as well as showing how accurate his sources were as compared to the
normal channels when he received information from them about the direction of
then-future events.

I could name quite a few instances where his preposterous-sounding claims (at
least to the uninformed) were proven correct, but suffice it to name only one.
Who, 10 years ago, said that Russia was becoming totally free of Bolshevik
Communists and was gradually allowing religious and other freedoms to be
restored?  Only Dr. Beter, that I know of.  The popular wisdom at that time was
the "focus of evil" pronouncements of the controlled Reagan Administration.
When Billy Graham dared to report on what he had experienced in Russia about
greater freedom, he ran into a buzz-saw of critics in the major media, and not
too many people believed him.  But today, we know that Russia, the now
capitalist country, has been moving in that direction for years.  The media
just never saw fit to tell you when these events were in full swing, for the
political reasons of those who controlled them.  They just made it public now
because they can no longer hide the truth; and to cover their tracks, they will
tell you that this all happened at once and was the "victorious result of the
Cold War waged by the Reagan Administration", and so on.

Any honest, complete, and open-minded reading of the Audio Letters will reveal
how accurate they were in reporting the true situation of the world and why
things happen.  I, for one, do not think you performed such a reading.  Dr.
Beter never professed to be a prophet who hopes that his sayings come to pass;
actually, he was making public the *plans* of some very powerful people in the
hope that they could be stopped, or failing that, that people could take action
to protect themselves.  As you and I know, the *plans* of men are subject to
change, they are not cast in stone, and they are subject to being tripped up.
One way is by public exposure because carrying them out would then be too
dangerous.  The fact that Nuclear War I never occurred in this century was to a
considerable extent the result of this.  As regarding specific actions
perpetrated against this country, being an internationally-famous lawyer, when
Dr. Beter made these things public he always backed them up with hard evidence,
and would offer to go to court if necessary.  In the case of the Soviet Missile
Crisis of 1976 where short-range missiles were planted in American territorial
waters, apparently General George S. Brown, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, was convinced that he was on the right track because at 3 PM EST,
September 16, 1976, he met with Dr. Beter in his Pentagon office to get their
locations--locations which, by the way, due to the American intelligence gap,
he could not obtain from normal channels.  Then the Navy went and looked for
the missiles in the locations he gave and found *every one* of them in the
locations given, removing all that were planted at that time.  How many
"prophets of doom" can you say that of?!

I daresay that if a similar search were conducted for the smaller missiles and
bombs planted in America's lakes and reservoirs and other locations in 1977,
1978, it would have yielded the same result.  As it happened, despite all the
specific, hard leads given to Federal, state, and local government officials
they steadfastly refused to even follow up on them, except for one instance.
That was in Westchester County, New York, where officials called for locational
information on the weapons planted in Kensico Reservoir, and later quietly found
and retrieved them.  Westchester County, "strangely enough", was the home of the
Rockefeller brothers themselves!  There was one other instance where some
private citizens found and retrieved these weapons, two bombs from a salt water
cove in a resort area on the east coast, not a reservoir or river; however,
instead of making them public, they were quietly turned over to the Federal
Government by these individuals for their own reasons.  Incidentally, Dr. Beter
also gave the lunar navigational coodinates of the particle beam bases there,
and considering his accuracy record and various instances that he points out
where they were actually used (usually for weather modification purposes), I
don't think he was making these things up.  Enough said.
