Are We Primed For A 'Second' Indian Nuclear War?

June 1, 2002

Friends,
 
It has been a long time since I last wrote a bulletin to you. The reason for this is the quickening pace of current events. It has taken me time to catch my breath. At the time of this writing I can identify the potential emergence of three, destiny-changing dangers ahead; they are:
 
1.) A nuclear war between Pakistan and India taking place this June or later this autumn.
 
2.) The treaty recently signed by Russia and the United States to reduce strategic nuclear arms does not augur peace in our time but deepens the mass-hypnotic suggestion of a false peace before nuclear war.
 
3.) A Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in our skies at the end of June will see a historical opportunity for peace. But if President Bush misses this opportunity to change course then both he and his country will march down a road to military catastrophe and economic ruin.
 
I will start with the most immediate danger before us, nuclear war in South Asia. The other two dangers will find their way to you in successive HogueProphecy Bulletins, hopefully before July.
 
Here we go.
 
Summer comes early over the South Asian sub-continent and by May the temperatures easily clear 40 degrees Celsius (105 Fahrenheit). It is a time of heat rash nights in oven-hot homes perfumed by evening blooming jasmine. The blazing white ball of the sun straight over your head conjures a kaleidoscope of flowering color from the bougainvillea vines wrapped around the walls and pillars of colonial bungalows. The oppressive daytime breath of summer is sweetened by love calls of cockerels and Coo coos perched in flame trees of crimson flowers.
 
The climax of Indian summer heat can also inspire the crowing of Coo coos of another kind. The hot weather of May often sparks communal violence between religiously extreme Hindus and Muslims, or worseóit can agitate threats of war out of the mouths of prime ministers and presidents of India and Pakistan.
 
This yearís Indian summer is one of the worse in decades, tempers and war fever have not been this hot since May of 1990. The next 20 days will either see the monsoon rains cool the hot heads down, or there could be a nuclear war killing millions.
 
The end of May 2002, saw over 1,200 people in India die in one of the most severe pre-monsoon heat waves to ever hit the country. The Coo coo birds cowering in the branches of flame-flower trees across Pakistan, India and Bangladesh were falling dead in mid-song from temperatures soaring as high as 123 degrees Fahrenheit!
 
In mid-May Kashmiri terrorists sneaking over the disputed border of Jammu-Kashmir turned up the heat of the Indo-Pakistani crisis when they slaughtered a bus load of mostly Indian Army officersí wives and children. The incident has sparked two weeks of protracted and daily artillery duels over the disputed Line of Control. Units of the Indian army are heading for forward positions for what appears to be some major conventional invasion of suspected terrorist camps just inside Pakistani-occupied territories of Kashmir.
 
The reports I receive from friends and press alike in India depict an almost cavalier disregard for the horrors of impending nuclear war. It is as if heat exhaustion has burned out the reasoning chip of everyoneís moral programming. There seems to be a shared love for the bomb by either side that rivals Stanley Kubrick's doomsday satire, "Dr. Strangelove." Equally apparent is a disregard to consider the consequences nuclear war will have on South Asian life and civilization.
 
What has seeded this fatalism?
 
Perhaps this is not the first time South Asians have contemplated nuclear war. Back when I was in India, during the last nuclear face-off in 1990, I came across a selection of translated quotations by Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. In 1994, I published these passages and this commentary on page 4 of the "The Millennium Book of Prophecy":
 
Before 6500 B.C.: Prehistoric Nuclear War
 
"A single projectile, charged with all the power of the universe; an incandescent column of smoke and fire as bright as 10,000 suns (from) a shaft fatal as the rod of death.
 
"Endowed with the force of thousand-eyed Indra's thunder: It was destructive to all living creatures....Hostile warriors fell to the earth like trees burnt down in a raging fire....Elephants...fell to earth uttering fierce cries...burnt by the energy of that weapon.
 
"A substance like fire has sprung into existence...blistering hills, rivers and trees. All...are being reduced to ashes....You cruel and evil ones, drunk with pride, through that iron bolt you shall become exterminators of your race." The Mahabharata, Ancient Hindu poem Nuclear cruise missiles of antiquity?
 
Dr. Robert Oppenheimer, chief scientist in the creation of the atomic bomb, believed it possible that a nuclear war was fought in the twilight of prehistory. He was well versed in Hindu legends chronicling the appearance of a new and unknown weapon, used at the climax of an antediluvian world war called the "Mahabharata" where whole races were "burned beyond recognition" and survivors suffered what appears to be radiation sickness: "Their hair and nails fell out."
 
Let us hope that Hindus and Muslims of South Asia consider the mistakes of the past and not repeat them again in the near future.
