This issue of Cosmic Awareness Hot Line, presented as "Revelations of Awareness Dated Material," features a striking cover illustration of "David Versus Goliath" set against a backdrop of prominent US government buildings. The main headline declares, "AT LAST.... THE BEAST IS AT BAY and your help is needed NOW!" The publication is presented as a communication from "This Awareness," channeled through Paul Shockley as the Trance-Interpreter, and heavily references the material of Dr. Beter.

The Fort Knox Gold Scandal and Economic Concerns

The central theme of this issue revolves around the alleged theft of gold from the Fort Knox depository. "This Awareness" states that this is a crucial moment in history, and to understand it, it summarizes information previously given, particularly through Dr. Beter's tapes and Audio Letters. The core issue is the claim that the gold in Fort Knox has been stolen, which has led to the devaluation of the US dollar and increasing inflation. The publication suggests that an investigation into the Fort Knox vault was a mere public relations stunt to cover up the real situation.

"This Awareness" indicates that entities are negligent if they are not aware of these messages, which are seen as vital for understanding current events and regaining freedom. The messages are described as simple actions, like writing letters, that can have significant impact. Readers are urged to write to Senator Proxmire and their local editors, demanding an investigation into the alleged theft of gold from Fort Knox. The publication emphasizes the urgency of these actions, stating that failure to act could lead to further erosion of freedoms.

The "David Versus Goliath" Analogy

The cover's imagery of David challenging Goliath is used as a metaphor for the current situation. "This Awareness" describes the entity (implied to be Dr. Beter or the messenger) as a "little man" challenging the "entire Beast force" and the "Bolshevik command" that has allegedly taken control of the United States through secret manipulations of its economics, military, and politics. This "little man" is asking for accountability, specifically regarding the nation's gold reserves, which are foundational to the economic system.

Physically, the entity is described as an average man, but magnanimous in courage, insight, clarity, purpose, integrity, and responsibility to humanity. The publication calls for support from all types of people, including those who desire peace, solitude, and harmony, to join in this effort.

Actions and Urgency

"This Awareness" emphasizes that the current period, particularly October, November, and December, is critical for exposing "Dark Forces" and their manipulations, potentially leading to a total change in the system and the restoration of freedoms. However, if the response to the suggested actions is not sufficient, freedoms will be further eroded. The entity is putting individuals on the spot to take sides, either with the freedom-fighters or the Forces of Darkness.

The publication suggests that this entity is exposing the division between the Forces of Light and Darkness, allowing entities to choose their alignment. It also offers an opportunity for those who have compromised themselves to change sides or to continue their mischief in hiding.

Information on Dr. Beter and Related Materials

The issue provides extensive information on how to obtain more details about Dr. Beter's work. This includes references to "Revelations of Awareness No. 80-15 (Dr. Beter-the Alarm of Consciousness)" for $3.00 from C.A.C. It also mentions Dr. Beter's Audio Letters and transcriptions of his tapes available through various sources, including the "Wisconsin Report."

An "ED's Note" highlights that many financial newsletters question the amount of gold in Fort Knox, and legislation to demand an inventory is always stopped. It references an article from the August 1980 "Gold Newsletter" and discusses the historical context of US gold holdings, suggesting that the gold was stolen by "agents of the Beast (in this particular case, the Rockefellers)" and traded to Iraq for oil fields.

Suggested Actions for Readers

Detailed suggestions are provided for writing letters to Senator Proxmire and to the editors of local newspapers. These letters are to demand a full and complete investigation into the alleged theft of gold from Fort Knox. Specific points to include are the questioning of gold reserves, the devaluation of the dollar, and the need for an impartial congressional investigation. The publication also suggests creating chain letters to spread this information widely.

Update on Nation's Alleged Gold Reserves

An article titled "AN UPDATE OF THE NATION'S ALLEGED GOLD RESERVES" by Edward Durell details efforts to introduce legislation for an inventory of US gold reserves. It mentions Congressman J. William Stanton's refusal and Congressman Ron Paul's introduction of H.R. 3862, "The Gold Reserve Integrity Act of 1979," and later H.R. 7874, the "Monetary Freedom Act." The article notes that three administrations and three Secretaries of the Treasury have refused to order an inventory, and it questions where the gold has gone, citing figures on the decrease of US gold holdings from 1943 to 1968.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are government accountability, the integrity of the US economic system, the importance of citizen action, and the struggle between forces of light and darkness. The editorial stance is one of urgency and a call to action, urging readers to become informed and actively participate in demanding transparency and justice regarding the nation's gold reserves and the alleged manipulations by powerful "Beast forces." The publication positions itself as a messenger of truth, cutting through illusions to awaken the public to critical issues affecting their freedom and well-being.

This Awareness indicates that this entity is asking for help, not for himself; this entity is offering himself. This entity is offering his life. This entity is giving his all, that freedom might be found, that harmony might prevail, that peace can come, that entities can have solitude, that entities may (if they choose), remain cowardly, that entities may, (if they desire), remain lazy, that entities may be what they wish to be.
