Earth Systems, Inc. (ESI) is a leading American shelter construction firm, with occupied earth homes in 36 states. Among its new accomplishments are: a three-vehicle sheltered fire station, three sheltered highway material storage domes, a youth ranch facility and a two-classroom pre-school for the Navajo Indians. In 1983 the Journal of Civil Defense published a story about ESI titled "The Friendly Earth." Here the ESI marketing director, Warren Eberspacher gives us an updated report. (This article is in response to an offer to shelter companies to submit information on their products)

Proven Civil Defense Protection - Warren Eberspacher, ESI Marketing Director

The guesswork and wondering are over. You can now order a family civil defense shelter in kit form today that has withstood an 8-kiloton blast only 670' from ground zero without any damage. The results of this test demonstrate loud and clear that you can survive a nuclear attack, and the blast may not even spill the coffee on your table. The basic shelter is designed to connect directly with an existing structure, be interconnected with the existing structure using things like tunnels, or built as a stand-alone shelter in a convenient location. As with other ESI structures, it can be built by amateurs or local contractors. The particular size structure was chosen for testing because of its suitability for a medium to large family. The price of the finished structure will vary with shelter size, the amount of owner participation in the building phase, entry tunnel configuration, blast-- doors, and optional equipment, bul,is expected to fall in the $10,000 - $20,000 range.

This was a company sponsored and financed test of EST's model 1414 Single Family Civil Defense Shelter (see layout drawings), and primarily a test of an integrated shelter system comprised of a 14' diameter steel reinforced concrete dome, a new tunnel entry configuration, a new blast door design, a new blast valve design, and a new air system, all Model 1414 Single Family original with ESI .

Are modern terrorists primed with drugs as were the "assassins" of old? What can stop them? Here Dr. Max Klinghoffer - an avid student of Omar Khayyam and ancient Persia (today Iran) - analyzes the problem from a historical perspective. If no conventional punishment will work against a drug-programmed killer who believes that dying for his cause guarantees him the many pleasures of heaven, what will?

that President Reagan, like you, disavows preparedness . You must know that this is not the case . By refusing to defend ourselves we by default make nuclear war indeed winnable for an aggressor, and in this way encourage him to undertake a nuclear attack or nuclear blackmail .

3 . Arms control, as desirable as it is as an objective, is elusive . Stat- ing that it is "the best -- in fact the only -- way to adequately defend the people of this country" is, by extension to defense situations in history, inaccurate .

There is, of course, much more to a "discussion" like this . We probably, stand very little chance of alerting you to the dangers of your "no-defense" posture -- no more chance than those realists in the late 1930s stood in warning Chamberlain, the signers of the "Oxford Pledge," and others long on piety and short on pragmatism .

In our opinion, aggressors must have one ally in order to launch them on their designs of conquest : the pacifist among the intended victims . Honorable peace-seeking leaders like you supply this need . In this way, incongruously, warlike aggressors and the "good guys" who are willing to barter with brigands become coconspirators . (As Winston Churchill said in the introduction to The Gathering Storm : "It is my purpose to show how easily the tragedy of the Second World War could have been prevented, how the malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous . . .")

We hold that this is an invaluable lesson in contemplating the risks of World War 111 . People like us will continue to campaign for proven ways to deter aggression -- to include, especially, measures such as civil defense and the Strategic Defense Initiative .

We feel that we have to, because World War III must never happen . On that we surely agree .

Lastly, we would remind you and other key leaders that the responsibility for the defense of our nation lies primarily with you . Leadership surely must take dead seriously the preamble to the Constitution, which provides "for the common defense," and each elected official's oath of office . These should be cause for giving Americans the best assurance possible that America will endure .

Sincerely,

er Murphy Executive Vice -kesident

Is nuclear war to be avoided? Is it morally wrong? Are attitudes which work to encourage aggressor buildup and attack also morally wrong? Are deliberate preparedness measures that make such attack too risky and unwise justified? Are they morally right? The answer to all five questions, of course, is "YES."

30 Journal of Civil Defense : December 1987

GRASSROOTS GRAFFITI Following is a condensed version of 'A Lette~to My Representatives" by Thomas J. Evans. It was printed in the September 1987 issue of Directions, newsletter of the Live Free survivalist organization based in Chicago. (Printed with the permission of Live Free a,nd Directions newsletter.) Survivalist Manifesto Dear Sirs: I propose that the following measures be adopted today to insure the defense of our people and our form of demo- cracy. Overwhelming evidence proves that the Soviets are building both an integrated civil defense shelter program and a tremendous "overkill" capability in strategic nuclear weapons [plus a credible SDI! - ed .] The only reason they could have for these actions is to ensure the survival of their system after destroying ours or by threatening us into submission, surrender and slavery. The following may prevent them from warring on us, but even if it doesn't, it will prevent them from conquering us : 1 . The evacuation plan for the target areas must be scrapped (we have at best 12 minutes warning from Soviet SLBMs coming in from our coasts!). 2 . Immediately adopt the plan for shelters proposed by Gary North and Arthur Robinson in their book Fighting Chance- 10 Feet to Survival. The system they propose would cost between $300 and $500 per person if built on a nationwide, stan- dardized plan . 3. Those individuals who opt to build their own shelters for their families should get some of the cost back as a deduction on their federal, state and local taxes. Businesses can build shelters for their workers and customers and should also be compensated. 4 . SDI research, development and deployment should be funded in full form. We should immediately use "off the shelf" technology to protect our population . 5 . We should continue to assist the freedom fighters. It's cheaper (in lives as well as money) to support indigenous resis- tance forces than it is to wait and have to fight them from our own borders. 6 . To pay for the above: a. For a 5-year period stop spending on big ticket "conventional" fighting systems. The only "enemy" in the world capable of fighting us or, a large-scale "conventional" war (obviously in Europe - unless they finally pour across the Rio Grande) is the "Big Bear." b. To all military recruits : issue only work/combat fatigues and equipment - no "dress" items. I'm sure this could save $500 on each troopie going in . c. For a 5-year period decrease all government spending at the same rate as military spending . Cut all government pay (one or two percent won't kill you - it's for the "good of the people" remember?) . d. State and local government should chip in 25%-50% on local shelter programs . Climb down off the pork barrel. It's our money, remember? 7. Put into effect a mandate that all people of working age and ability on unemployment and welfare be employed on civil defense projects . Exceptions would be mothers with children under 16 or in school (up to 18), the handicapped and the aged. And social services employees laid off due to lack of clients can be employed by civil defense - plenty of shovels to go around! 8. Gradually cut back on land-based ICBMs and bombers - most of them would be destroyed by a Soviet first strike anyway. Replace lost "warhead" counts by increasing our SLBM fleet (which is composed of moving targets). 9. Mount a cruise missile on every ship that can carry them . This again increases the number of moving targets Ivan has to deal with. And again - not near our population centers. 10. Gradually pull our conventional forces out of Western Europe . The Europeans spend a lot less on defense than we do, so let them contain the Soviet ground forces at their expense. Keep our forward nuclear weapons stationed in Europe as long as the Soviets keep building up forces to threaten West Europe and continue to keep troops and nuclear weapons in Eastern Europe. 11 . Institute a national "Civil Defense Service." All U .S. citizens of draft age should receive 6-8 weeks of basic military train- ing . Then they can return home and serve one day a month for 2-5 years in "Civil Defense." 12 . All members of the CD units should be allowed to purchase firearms of their own choice and at their own expense. This will, in effect, create a nationwide armed civilian militia, exactly what the founding fathers wanted. After an attack, this militia can help rebuild and defend our communities -and maybe we'll even protect a few politicians and bureaucrats, if we find any that are worth it. 13. State Guard units, made up of volunteers, should be set up in conjunction with the CD units. Perhaps they can serve as cadre for training and exercises. In closing, since the Soviet, the Chinese and the Swiss governments have seen fit to provide their populations with shelters, I feel that our government- a government forthe people-should do as much, if not considerably more.

EDITORIAL . . . "NO PUBLIC DEMAND" Proponents of preparedness have for the past couple of decades or so been piously warned by politicians and bureaucrats that there is "no public demand" for homeland defense measures - either active or passive - and that consequently they must not be seriously considered . While it is true that in normal times there is no visible public demand for these measures, it is also true-and this has been repeatedly demonstrated by public opinion polls - that the public approves of them, expects them, is willing to pay for them, assumes that government has provided them, and is in favor of their further development. When an international crisis involving the United States develops - such as is now happening in the Persian Gulf -a mushrooming public interest begins to develop and focus on just what government has done to protect the public against possible missile attack . So, while attention to protecting the public does not in normal times readily translate into votes - as do pork-barrel legislation, welfare handouts, and so on - it is obvious that protecting the public is in the public interest . The point is hard to argue against. But it is easy to neglect (until it is too late). Congress is the villain in this case. And its excuse for inaction, that there is "no public demand" for preparedness, is by its own actions a spurious one. For instance : There is "no public demand" for taxes. There are indeed public objections to what is often perceived as excessive taxation. Congress sees the requirement, levies taxes in spite of objections. The public pays. There is "no public demand" for increases in salaries of politicians and bureaucrats. Yet Congress, seeing a need that is not supported - often ridiculed - by the public, provides increases on a generous scale.

THERE`.IS "NO PUBLIC DEMAND" FOR TAXES

In many other areas of public interest - where public demand is lacking or dormant- government assumes its respon- sibility of providing for public protection measures . Highway safety, air safety, building codes, regulations and inspections governing conveyances like elevators are some of them . Has there been a public demand for automobile seat belts? Of course not. Government sees the need, establishes requirements, and the public goes along . There is "no public demand" for keeping our armed forces effective. Yet, responsible segments of government take steps to provide for it without consulting the public . Coming closer to the homeland defense picture, Congress and the Administration have seen very clearly the national security requirement for emergency operating centers - fortified, self-sufficient protective bunkers for key government and military personnel and their impedimenta. They have given these leadership centers their understanding support. Protection for "papers and politicians" as one wag described them. These dot the countryside from coast to coastand contain sophis- ticated systems of survival. But the people? A shelter program for them? No. "No public demand ." Elsewhere, yes! The USSR, China, Switzerland, Israel, Sweden, Finland and other countries alert to the threats of modern warfare have - in addition to providing for government and military survival (as we have) - for many years past have pro- moted programs of protection for their peoples. Here too, there has been "no public demand." With the realization that in matters of public safety there is rarely any public demand, these governments have accepted their responsibility for the welfare and safety of their citizens and have provided protection for them in the event of modern warfare (a recurrent phenomenon). Come a war, peoples in these countries would enjoy enhanced chances for survival - along with key leadership. (Better still, preparedness sharply discourages attack, for in a simple and persuasive manner it promotes peace by sending a clear message that conquest is not possible and there- fore an unacceptable risk.) We mustfind a way to persuade a reluctantAmerican Congress that it isjustas importantto "protectand defend" American citizens - all of them - as it is to protect selected VIPs. Those members of Congress who do see the need for population protection - and there are some, even many - need to muster their courage, to cross swords with their peacenik brethren to insure that national security again gets the spotlight. The "no public demand" crutch mustbethrown outthe window. O
