(Omal goes over the various levels of the defcon system laid out by the base to determine the threat level to our planet. We go over the announcements for the defcon alerts by exploring the possibility of crafting a form letter beforehand to send alerts depending on the level which he goes over.)

Omal: next question?

Russ: Skip, no? Okay, world wise with the Defcon coming about and the meetings you had, the talks, how is this going to affect the talks as far as the scheduling goes?

Omal: not at all.

Russ: okay.

Omal: not at all unless you slide into scenario C and then all bets are off.

Russ: oh, okay. That would be a bit of a distraction.

Omal: yes, survival is a distraction.

Russ: okay. Tia didn't touch on this but maybe you could help me with this?

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: scenario C, let's say the impossible happens and they do decide to impeach Clinton and Gore comes into the picture.

Omal: that is scenario B in Tia's updated predictions. 

Russ: excellent. 

Omal: I cannot go into too much detail as I'm waiting to hear back from Ashtar and Sananda on whether we can proceed with the projections for the next five years. They are still being discussed and debated.

Russ: all right, would it be wise have a release form or a release, a pre-release at least written up in a way that we could then just edit it to the specific general release?

Omal: I do not fully understand what you mean. In implication to what?

Russ: for example, if during the conference you had with Tia concerning alerting to.......

Omal: ah, I understand. You would wish to have something typed up like communiqué blank, due to circumstances involving blank, blank, blank, it is necessary to inform you that we have increased our level of readiness to Defcon blank. 

Russ: correct.

Skip: uh-huh.

Russ: that way at least we have a chance you can go over the language, if it looks good, we can fill in the blanks, things work right and speed.

Omal: the importance for a pre-release form is the fact that it has to be short, precise and to the point. If it is long-winded, then it will be taking away from the point. So a pre-release form that is written, ready with the blanks to be filled in is something that has to be thought on very carefully.

Russ: okay. Well I'm thinking of the.....we discussed the urgency of the situation were it to happen where there is a bit of a time lag between the information given, information typed up, information given out.

Omal: the way that we have set it up is that you yourselves can declare a Defcon advancement. If you remember, what constitutes an increase to Defcon three?

Russ: well it would be the key points or the key events that are happening at the same time........

Omal: correct which would be?

Russ: which would be a civil disobedience of some kind, a natural disaster of financial, economic implications......

Omal: uh-huh.

Russ: and a drop in the stock market of 150 points in a single day or by the end the day.

Omal: correct. That is Defcon three.

Russ: right.

Omal: what is Defcon two?

Russ: Defcon two would be a drop in the market of 300 points.

Omal: 250.

Russ: oh sorry. 250 points, two natural disasters going on at the very same time, a civil disobedience in three separate locations.

Omal: correct and let us not go to Defcon one.

Russ: no.

Omal: but that is pretty horrific and one can be skipped over for another depending on what happens.

Russ: right.

Omal: but having that ability, you can decide yourself exactly what a Defcon constitutes an increase. You yourselves can make the announcement and the release when it is appropriate. We can countermand by making a release if it is deemed that your decision was inaccurate and erroneous. You do not have all the information that we have access to so by being able to set it up in such a way that a communiqué could be followed by a communiqué canceling the previous communiqué. For example, let us go to a fictitious incident, communiqué number one. Due to the drop in the stock market of a 150 points and the forest fires in the.........no, let us say the earthquake in the state of Washington in the Metropolitan area of Seattle and the riots that are currently going on in New York, it is necessary to advise you that we have increased our level of readiness to Defcon three. Defcon three constitutes a warning of imminent problems and you would explain what the problems are. What I suggest is on your page, you have within a "from the desk of Omal", an explanation of this. When you send the email, you send a link incorporated to the appropriate space.

Russ: okay. Karra and I are working on something like this.

Omar yes, I know. Next question and final question.

Russ: all right, the talks themselves are ready in their form to begin. The timing is going to be a part of our progression into learning. It's all perfect, correct?

Omal: that is correct.

Russ: thank you.

Omal: live long, prosper, I'll be back.

Skip: thank you Omal.
