The Abyss by Isabelle Ghaneh
He who looks into the abyss finds the abyss also looks into him - Nietzsche War brings out the bad in people never the good - Oskar Schindler explaining the actions of Amon Goeth in scene from Schindler’s List movie The United States of America, born on July 4, 1776 at 5:10 p.m. in Philadelphia, PA., has Chiron, the wounded healer, in the 4th house of home and family and located in the militant sign of Aries. Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion and fantasy and false hopes is highly placed in the 9th house of foreign affairs, religion and the law. It is in the sign of duty conscious Virgo. Chiron is at 20 degrees of Aries and Neptune is at 22 degrees of Virgo, making their association an inconjunct, an aspect deemed by a 150 degree orb. An inconjunct demonstrates the need to find harmony between the two planets, signs and houses involved, since an inconjunct speaks of two entities being at odds with one another, with a sense of frustration, dissonance and irritation between the two signs. Chiron’s placement in a chart shows where our sense of woundedness is the most intense and where we have the most work to do; the sign placement shows where and how and what qualities need to be worked out in our healing process. Aries is the sign involved and the 4th house is the house involved. The U.S. was born having to defend itself forcefully and militarily against the British Empire. Aries is the war sign. The 4th is home and family. America fought its’ birth battle on its’ own shores, with the British occupiers billeted in colonial homes across the Northeast. With a 4th house Aries in Chiron, the U.S. has maintained that posture throughout its’ history, often fighting to protect its’ own interests at home and abroad, and sitting out fights that don’t directly concern those interests, i.e. (genocide in Rwanda). Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion in the religious and philosophical 9th house shows how highly unrealistic the U.S. is as a whole regarding our actions in foreign countries and regarding our commonly held religious beliefs. Being delusional regarding a commonly held religious belief would involve believing we are a country singularly blessed by God and always operate from a high minded moralistic stance. The abuse the U.S. inflicted on the people brought here in chains to serve as slaves, the abuse suffered by the Native American population at our hands in the name of Manifest Destiny, and the abuse suffered by the people in the Latin American countries whose governments we overthrew for our own interests (Chile to name one) are just some of the abuses the U.S. has inflicted that surely were not blessed by anyone’s God. A religious delusion is one whereby an individual takes up a gun and shoots a medical professional for performing a legal abortion. A religiously intolerant person is one who believes that it is okay to demonstrate against a woman’s right to choose and to make rules for another’s life and well being, since God speaks to them and they of course are in the forefront of His directives and plans. It is the holier than thou platitudes that enable some very unhappy and arrogant people to tell others what to do, since they can then feel superior to others. These religious intolerants paint their lives with a broad based ‘God says its so, so I can tell you what to do’ paint brush. Pluto is transiting the U.S. Neptune, and has been since January, using a one degree orb. Pluto is the planet that shows all our ugly truths to ourselves and to the world at large. Pluto works much in the way of Oscar Wilde’s story ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray‘. Dorian Gray, a beautiful, narcissistic, unfeeling and amoral young man, kept the picture of his true self hidden upstairs in his attic. While Dorian stayed young and beautiful, the picture rotted and grew ugly with each crime he committed, both legally and morally. Finally when the picture was uncovered Dorian was shown as the person he really was to the outside world. That is Pluto transiting Neptune. Mercury has been retrograde in Aries recently, going back and forth over the U.S. Chiron. The mental energies of the world are now focused on us, the United States, and our Chironic wounds are being exposed. Soldiers are returning home and killing their wives, soldiers are returning home wounded in their minds and bodies, and soldiers are returning home after being told to behave as cold blooded killers and torturers and murderers. Chiron in Aries transited by Mercury going retrograde, then direct again. Does the mental woundedness the soldiers experience at being soldiers cause them to behave psychotically? How could it not, especially when those are the orders they are given to follow? One last word. With Saturn due to conjunct the U.S. Sun shortly, the echo of the Watergate hearings was just seen on the world’s television screens via the Rumsfeld hearings, and the 9/11 commission hearings. Where it will take us is anybody’s guess, but a look at the stars tells us that resignations of authority figures (Saturn again) cannot be far behind. P.S. All good thoughts to Morgana, hope you are mending quickly.

Thank you for the hopeful article (echo of Watergate) Isabelle. Something in your article and Sally's part 4 When? And the reason of course that I'm interested is, how many years has it been? what planet's transit can we pinpoint as responsible? so that we can see what is equating to today's transits. Hopefully we are in the process of a new American US History says the first killing associated with An African-American named Crispus Attucks was one of the first Americans killed during the American Revolutionary War, in Boston on March 5, 1770, at an event that has come to be called the Boston Massacre. 1775 February 9 - American Revolutionary War: British Parliament declares Massachusetts in rebellion March 23 - American Revolutionary War: Patrick Henry delivers his speech - "give me liberty or give me death" in Williamsburg, Virginia. April 14 - 1775 American Revolutionary War: Massachusetts Governor Gage is secretly ordered by the British to enforce the Coercive Acts and suppress open rebellion by an iron hand. April 18 - American Revolutionary War: General Gage orders 700 troops to Concord to destroy the rebels' weapons depot. April 18 1775- American Revolutionary War: Paul Revere makes his famous midnight ride - "Listen my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere on the eighteenth of April, in seventy-five; hardly a man is now alive who remembers that famous day and year" (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow). April 19 1775- American Revolutionary War: The Battle of Lexington and Concord begins at dawn with a volley on 70 armed Massachusetts militiamen on Lexington Green by the British advance guard, which leaves 8 dead and 10 wounded - "the shot heard around the world". On February 6, 1788 Massachusetts became the sixth state to ratify the United States Constitution. Perhaps April 19 with the first real skirmish Apparently the first act taken by the rebellious Americans was "The Boston Tea Party" of December 16, 1773 ( a first hand account which is recorded here: http://www.historyplace.com/unitedstates/revolution/teaparty.htm) So I think the date and planets I might look for The other date I might want to look at to see what we Americans are going to do about this government is the actual start of the Civil War, American against American . Posted by: Pallas18 on May 9, 2004 05:15 PMWonderful article Isabelle!! Thank you! Posted by: Laurie on May 9, 2004 05:44 PMIsabelle, very very thought provoking. Pallas18 thank you for the history lesson. Another 'American Revolution' ? Wouldn't surprise me in the least. Oh,Morgana, thank you ever so much for letting us hear from you. I know many on this board will concur that you have been very much in our minds and hearts. Isabelle, very thoughtful and hopeful article. Many thanks to you, too! Posted by: shylurker on May 9, 2004 05:58 PMMorgana, I add my good wishes and light to an easy quick successful and relieving surgery. I dont know what its for but am I correct that it's in the mid-body section? I'm sending gold light there. Sally has started me on this history thing equating to astrological movement today to see what we may expect now, so I'm adding here, the start of the Civil War which might be more applicable, when American fought American over government. "On the infamous day of 12 April 1861, when an attempt was made to re-supply Fort Sumter at Charleston, South Carolina, the southern forces opened fire beginning the Civil War. Lincoln retaliated within a few days which also brought about the secession of Arkansas, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. " And by the way, on a completely different subject, Pallas you are right about the potential of this leading up to a new revolution. If you look at the charts of the Boston Tea Party, when the first shot was fired and the actual ending to the Revolutionary way (1781) it's pretty compelling. On a different subject, this was in the Washington Post today, and it's troubling http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A11158-2004May8.html Posted by: Sally on May 9, 2004 06:36 PMIsabel, thanks for a "comforting" article. Morgana, as with everyone on this board, our thoughts and love are with you and we know that your surgery is a grand success. Posted by: Janet on May 9, 2004 07:06 PM0 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY I hope is is as happy as mine. Isabelle, thank for the new article/Mother's Day I would kind of lean on the Boston Tea Party Date What do our Astrologers say?
All my best to you. I shall send you my healing Peace, Joy and Love Posted by: corleonis on May 9, 2004 07:08 PM((((((Morgana)))))) This is hopeful. Cheyney grads snub Santorum Dissatisfied with their school’s choice of commencement speaker, about half of Saturday’s graduating class at Cheyney University rebuffed U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., by standing and turning their backs to him during his speech. Just as Santorum began his address, dozens of the 324 graduates stood and faced the audience. One graduate left the area. Many in the crowd applauded the students’ actions. Santorum continued with his speech, raising his voice to be heard among the noise and stopped only when he was finished. Some audience members were vocally opposed to the senator’s comments about problems in the African-American community. On that subject, Santorum began by talking about the modern-day threat to civility, which he said was not as offensive as segregation but still was a major concern -- the breakdown of the traditional family. More..... Posted by: Pat on May 9, 2004 07:55 PMDear Sally and All, the settings on my computer won't let me get into Thanks. Posted by: Pallas18 on May 9, 2004 07:57 PMEssentially it says this Pallas. "Despite Rhetoric, Bush, Kerry Agree On Many Issues" Nader would appreciate this. Thanks. Yes Kerry's alikeness to Bush is not very encouraging at all. I preferred Edwards who at least could be counted on to protect citizens' access to the legal system which Bush wants to end. A poll today states Nader is up to 7% from 5 and In the articles I was reading about the Civil War, Thanks again Nader. Posted by: Pallas on May 9, 2004 08:12 PMP.S. - Kerry's centrist positions too much like Pallas, Nader is getting more funding from the neocons than from any liberals, and he knows it. The problem with my Democrats is that they don't know how to keep their eyes on the goal...getting Bush out and taking back the House and the Senate. I've heard the phrase "herding cats" when describing Democrats, and I use to think it was humorous. The humor is gone for me. Posted by: Pat on May 9, 2004 08:24 PMSalon has two in person accounts of torture at http://www.salon.com/news/wire/2004/05/08/iraq_abuse/index.html at the end of this article my thought is the neo- Solar Eclipse Challenges Authority http://www.aquasoul.com/April19SolarEclipse.html I've mentioned a couple of times transiting neptune conjunct natal Neptune and my earlier post was in regard to New Zealand and Lord of the Rings symbology. So it would appear that this would indicate a turning point for the start of America's modern military industrial build up, that ties back perhaps to America's military beginnings and issues of trade. Sy Hersh's "Chain of Command" article published in this weeks' New Yorker found online here http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?040517fa_fact2 Posted by: Shade on May 9, 2004 11:47 PMI read that Wa Post article and I disagreed with it immediately. Compare these issues: Environment: Kerry endorsed by League of Conservation Voters. Bush has oil executives imbedded in his cabinet. Women's Rights: Kerry tried to get the ERA passed, stands up to conservative Catholics for womens' choice. Bush would appoint anti-choice judges to the supreme court. Working Class: Kerry has consistently supported increases in mimiumum wage, and other progressive tax and economic plans to help low to middle income folks. Bush gives tax breaks to the wealthy. Foreign Policy: Kerry is an internationalist with diplomatic experience (normalization of relations with Vietnam) Bush--enough said. Death Penalty: Kerry bucks public opinion to stand against it. Bush has executed more than any politician I'm aware of. There are HUGE moral and karmic differences between these two candidates. Bethcf4p, Might I suggest you express your views with those pertinent examples you illustrated above to the Post in response to that ridiculous article they published? I, too, will be writing them, so, the more the merrier, right? :-) Jonathan Posted by: Jonathan on May 10, 2004 12:23 AMHey everyone, I just noticed an article in our local paper about General Taguba (it was his report about the abuse they were keeping under raps) - they focused on him because of his ties to Hawaii, his family moved here when he was 10. Born 10/31/1950 in the Phillipines, which makes it the same day as Richard Clarke (10/30/1950) because of the date line! What a coincidence to have two scandals with key players having the same birthdate. ...more to think about http://www.yellowtimes.org/print.php?sid=1917 Posted by: wv on May 10, 2004 01:27 AM
http://www.yellowtimes.org/print.php?sid=1916 Posted by: wv on May 10, 2004 01:39 AMwv, the article on Kerry is interesting and includes a lot of truth. The problem is that the military industrial machine is so vast, so secretive, and is a cash cow to soooo many, that 1 man, no matter who he is, will be able to stop it cold turkey. The real change is a longer term project and can only begin after we have elected a majority of representatives with integrity and long term, international, foresight. They are the only ones who will have the ability to stop the funding of the cash cow and instead divert those funds into creative ways to better our planet. In the meantime, Kerry certainly has the diplomatic skills on an international front to begin the weaning process, and I think he has the spiritual awareness to think in broader terms. There is no quick fix, and that is the hard truth. Short of a catastrophic event that will affect the world in total, this demilitarization will only happen by degrees, with the war addicts resisting at every turn. Posted by: Jeanie on May 10, 2004 02:07 AMPOLL-SHOULD RUMMY RESIGN- GO VOTE http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4934213/ Posted by: on May 10, 2004 02:14 AMJeanie, You're absolutely right about demilitarization happening in degrees. The challenge, of course, will be electing enough people to the House and Senate who have the foresight and spirituality you mentioned. And with people like DeLay in Texas and the yahoo in Colorado redistricting (and ensuring usually Republican incumbent strength for perhaps generations), it's much more difficult for that process to begin in earnest. My suspicion, and it's one that has been growing for a few years now, is that the United States will hit "rock bottom" --- financially, in it's prestige around the World and in the opportunities it's able to offer it's citizens --- within ten to twelve years. The once might country we were will stumble, fall and find, because of it's past greed and unnecessary flexing of it's so-called empirical muscles, that we have few friends around the World willing to help us, until we change our "government". It wouldn't surprise me to find an exodus, of sorts, of Americans relocating elsewhere overseas just so they can find jobs and be able to earn a decent living. I also believe we could see the new European Union gain strength as a new and trustworthy "America". Perhaps after this experience, and the inevitable governmental changes it would bring, the American people will start, en masse, taking responsibility for who they allow "represent" them in their Goverenment and begin electing those who have the qualities we spoke of earlier. I could be wrong, but, karmically, what goes up must eventually come down ... and I suspect we've already begun our downward descent with the hounding of Clinton in the 1990s (funded by tax payer money and run from the Halls of Congress) through the 2000 election (a bloodless coup if there ever was one) and right on through this unspeakably sad, unnecessary Iraq war. Just my two (or five?) cents. Jonathan Posted by: Jonathan on May 10, 2004 03:35 AMfirst off, morgana...good luck to you and for your surgery! thy will be done always works for me! isabelle! considering i have neptune at 4 degree in my 11th in scorpio sextile my 4 planet stellium nader up to 7 is interesting. this morning's news said he was at 5 and taking equally from kerry and bush. i was stunned too, it was like 3-2 from kerry/bush. i wrote to astrologer blaschke with my particular nader astro finds on nov 2 (posted on the site before sally's riders series, forget title of treatise) and while blaschke said he only goes by 1 degree orb and so therefore some of the (many!) incredible aspects (all within 5) i found wouldn't hold under HIS analysis. BUT he said he found it interesting that ralphs progressed moon is trine EXACT his natal mid-heaven on election day (i don't have ralphs progressed so i only went by transits to natal - this was news to me). i believe ralph's planning some capra-esque ads sure to grab the dis-heartened and disgusted true conservatives republicans. i did hear that 65 per cent of kerry voters are voting for him because he's not bush, (goes with sally's analysis - kerry may not win but bush may lose) anyway, 65 per cent of 43 is about 30, 30+7 puts kerry in 3rd place. if ralph looks stronger - this is very serious stuff...what matters most is for bush to lose of course, but if kerry keeps going the way he is and nader has better stars (we may end up all rooting for nader) as the real viable candidate (if he get's the profile that the repugs stupidly want him to). we've got to remember that there's a hell of a lot of soldiers out there WHO HAVE NOT BEEN POLLED who are going to vote for the guy who can beat bush. esp if the guy wants to bring THEM HOME. food for thought, VALID food for thought, esp if dennis goes to ralph as vp. who cares if ralph has no first lady? it'll give him more hours to fix the country, which he'd gladly do. and by the time people like the repugs realize what they've done, he'll possibly be in office, too late for their fake moralistic smear machine. you say you want a revolution? Posted by: Roxanne on May 10, 2004 03:39 AMTwo moew great articles............. And this........The Constitution is indebted to the "French" philosophes /Montesquieu. The idea of seperating the executive, legislative & judicial powers was borrowed from the Spirit of the Laws. The Presidents check on Congress through veto power, congressional check on the executive & judiciary through impeachment & confirmation, as well as the check on each branch of Congress by requiring both to consent to legislation. These balancing devices were derived in part from Continuing my natal neptune return thoughts for a country. Jeannie, I think the house placement of that Neptune would On the other hand Neptune in Virgo is not a particularly strong Neptune. Neptune is in ints fall there, weak because it's in its opposite sign Actually if you think about it a conman with Neptune in Virgo could be kind of fun. Every time he told a lie, he might have to run to the bathroom with diarrhea - cause Virgo rules the intestines (digestive system?). Posted by: Pallas18 on May 10, 2004 05:18 AMPallas I have libra neptune in the 9th, idealistic about law and foreign affairs, hmmmm. Great article, Isabelle. Together with Sally's last article it culminates in -- what seems to me -- karmic determination. I had the privilege of listening to Dennis Kucinich who said, during his speech, something incredibly profound. He felt we needed to heal our past grievances with both the Native Americans and African Americans before we could go forward as a nation of principle. Of course the way he said it was more profound than how i'm relaying it. I thought of the above while reading Pallas' historical timeframe and wonder how Chriron played into the more notorious assaults such as the Trail of Tears, etc. White light to you, Morgana. Another note as Venus readies to make her statement: Archeologists have found the ancient University of Alexandria. To quote from a Los Angeles Times article "It was here that Archimedes inveted the screw-shaped fluid pump stll in use today, that Euclid invented the rules of geometry, that Hypsicles first divided the circle of the zodiac into 360 degres, and the astronomer Eratosthenes calculated the diameter of the earth." karen Posted by: farrout on May 10, 2004 02:48 PMThe War is Lost http://www.truthout.org/docs_04/051004A.shtml Posted by: Laurie on May 10, 2004 03:56 PMApparently, we are going to have a July Surprise, too. Isn't that just in time for the Democrats' convention? This website fills a powerful thirst in me to be involved in a dialogue of wise old souls who want to guide & protect earth and mankind's evolution. I have decided to archive some of the article and contents. Problem is, Neptune is transiting my Mercury. Can someone point me in the direction of the article written by Sally (I believe) that discussed our oil addiction being the basis of the world crisis? Also, there was a long post in the last week about oil depletion which I think was based on the work of the guy who writes about "Peak Oil"? Thank you... Sending an ongoing supply of love and strong, protective, brilliantly shining white Light to Morgana...and all of you. Sharon K Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 10, 2004 05:06 PMVery thought~provoking article, Isabelle. Thank you. All my best wishes and healing vibes to you, Morgana~ ~D Posted by: Dommael on May 10, 2004 06:36 PMWonderful article, Isabelle. In the previous thread I posted re a faint insistent idea that the prison in Iraq is reminiscent of the Bastille. Sally responded in her supportive, encouraging way. Since then have been reading Joseph Wilson's book. There is a bridge in Baghdad over the Tigres called the July 14 Bridge. (Don't know why.) The article Novak wrote outing Wilson's wife was printed in Wash Post on July 14. (Bastille Day) I looked at a US Sibley chart with July 14 2004 transits and couldn't make anything of it. Well, I am like the greenhorn in the woods who notices the marks on the trees, but only the real Scouts know what they mean. PS Thanks Bethcf4p for your remarks re Kerry's stands. I am writing handout supporting him and am shamelessly copying from you. Also, Jeannie re Taguba's new assignment--from my 9 years working in US civil service I would say he has been laterally reassigned to the broom closet. Posted by: Barbara on May 10, 2004 06:52 PMFrom the talkingpointsmemo link above, there is also an article further down that references this story and the connection between US prison abuses and Iraq - specificially, involvement of a US private prison contractor under suspicion, chosen by Ashcroft no less (why was he was involved?) to set up the Iraq prison - another bastille? http://www.salon.com/comics/tomo/2004/05/10/tomo/print.html Posted by: wv on May 10, 2004 08:26 PMYesterday's Boondocks Thanks, Jeannie. In the olden days butchers were banned from serving on a jury in this country. If a person is a sadist what work will he seek? Maybe a prison guard. Just as if a person is a pedophile he would seek some job in charge of children. There are many good and exemplary people working in prisons and also among young people, But, of course those who would take advantage also will seek these positions. As citizens and parents we have to be very careful. Posted by: Barbara on May 10, 2004 09:46 PM"Staring into the abyss" is a great way to describe the United States of America at the moment. It reminds me of that old Chinese curse, "may you live in interesting times." We're all witnessing a sort of deconstruction of our government here in the USA. As has been said here before, there's no going back to the way things have been. In this forum, we know that we are heading into unprecedented realms of consciousness, times of enormous changes that will have effects far into the future and will undoubtedly shape our society in ways we can't even fathom at present. However, to reach this new consciousness we are having to let go of all of our safety nets, preconceived ideas and routines and forage out into scary, uncharted realms. The "letting go" is going to be the hardest part for so many of us. Just some observations. Do any of you know about Alliance for the New Humanity? I heard Depak Chopra speak of them, I think it was either 2002 or 2003 i can't believe that bush congratulated rummy today! what a psycho. could it be having a b-day on july 4 weekend made him hate america or something? i mean WHAT IS UP??? sick sicko.. thank god there's been an outcry from repubs in senate as well as the military papers.... Posted by: Roxanne on May 10, 2004 10:43 PMSince trans Pluto has stimulated the USA Mars/Neptune square, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what was happening when trans Pluto was conjuncting USA Neptune. I start with trans Pluto at 21 deg Virgo which began approx Oct 1, 1967. This is from Wikpedia: October 2 - Thurgood Marshall becomes the first black member of the U.S. Supreme Court. October 8 - Guerrilla leader Che Guevara and his men are captured in Bolivia. The next day Guevara is executed for attempting to incite a revolution. October 12 - Vietnam War: US Secretary of State Dean Rusk states during a news conference that proposals by the United States Congress for peace initiatives were futile because of North Vietnam's opposition. October 26 - Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi of Iran is officially crowned. November 3 - Vietnam War: Battle of Dak To begins - Around Dak To (located about 280 miles north of Saigon near the Cambodian border) heavy casualties are suffered on both sides (the Americans narrowly won the battle on November 22). November 6 - Rhodesian parliament passes pro-Apartheid laws. November 11 - Vietnam War: In a propaganda ceremony in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, three American prisoners of war are released by the Viet Cong and turned over to "new left" antiwar activist Tom Hayden. November 22 - UN Security Council Resolution 242 is adopted by the UN Security Council, establishing a set of the principles aimed at guiding negotiations for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement. November 30- The People's Republic of South Yemen becomes independent from the United Kingdom. December 3 - At Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, 53-year-old Lewis Washkansky becomes the first human to receive a heart transplant (however he died 18 days later from double pneumonia). The transplant team was headed by Christiaan Barnard. December 17 - Harold Holt, Australian prime minister, disappears when swimming at a beach 60 km from Melbourne. Those of us who lived thru 1968 remember that year as quite violent. Interestingly enough trans Saturn was in Aries that year, squaring the USA Sun in March. Also, I don't think I see it listed here, but LBJ at some point announced that he would not seek another term in office. January 2 - Dr. Christian Barnard performs the first successful heart transplant. January 31 - Viet Cong attack the United States embassy in Saigon January 31 - Nauru's president Hammer DeRoburt declares independence from Australia February 11 - Israeli-Jordan border clashes. February 11 - Madison Square Garden III closes, Madison Square Garden IV opens in New York. March 7 - Vietnam War: The First Battle of Saigon begins. March 31 - American President Lyndon Johnson announces he will not seek re-election. April 20 - Pierre Elliott Trudeau becomes Canada's fifteenth prime minister. April 23-April 30 - Student protesters at Columbia University in New York City take over administration buildings and shut down the university. June 5 - Robert F. Kennedy is assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan in Los Angeles, California. July 26 - Vietnam War: South Vietnamese opposition leader Truong Dinh Dzu is sentenced to five years hard labor for advocating the formation of a coalition government as a way to move toward an end to the war. August 20 - 200,000 Warsaw Pact troops and 5,000 tanks invade Czechoslovakia to end the "Prague Spring" of political liberalization. September 6 - Swaziland becomes independent. Anyhow, if history repeats or echoes itself, this may give us some clues as to where the USA may be headed next. This too I got from Wikpedia. Trans Pluto left 22 deg of Virgo on Sept 25th.

Okay, so tell me: how does one solve that issue while pleasing both sides enough to where they agree? It's only been happening in that region for decades, if not centuries, so it should be easy to answer, right? Oh, and you still have to solve it while pleasing all the disparate groups at home, plus those people who are just ITCHING to hate you (and withhold support) for SOMETHING. And don't forget the International Community. Piss them off and they could make it very difficult for us with trade, immigration issues, paying back debt or, in the case of America, loaning us money in the future. I've always wondered how amazing and "successful" each of us would be if we held ourselves up to the same standards of honesty, decency, efficacy and hard work that we hold our Politicians. Always nice to complain, though, isn't it? Jonathan Posted by: on May 11, 2004 02:18 AMIt's also important to remember that there are groups that are ready on a daily basis, if not hourly, to cause violence to undo any agreement forged between the parties. That element does not want peace, but constant war. Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 02:36 AMI respect everyone's opinion, but please give Kerry a fair chance. He is walking the same thin tightrope as Howard Dean did and if he were as forthright as Dean, Kucinich or Sharpton, we might appreciate him, but he wouldn't win. And in this age of instant media distortion & reverberation, the Repug attack machine will latch on to anything & use it to make guacamole of him. Meanwhile, Bush's timing is as off as ever, further alienating the Arabs by saying today that we owe Rummy a debt of gratitute for his effectiveness, and I read he is due to go to Europe twice in June. What a depressing trip that will be for him with all of Europe protesting against him!!! I almost feel bad. Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 11, 2004 02:41 AMA Miami psychic, Jill Dahne, has on her website that she is worried we will be sending troops into N. Korean in Sept. Not to alarm anyone but this fits the planetary forecast. I hope she isn't right. Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 11, 2004 02:45 AMI just checked the site, and she also predicted that Bush would be elected to a second term, and Hillary would be the first woman President in 2008. Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 02:53 AMI believe it was May 7th in the late evening I was listening to CNN Paula Zahn and she was listing news blurbs and one of them was that the 9/11 black box that was found at the crash site (which one?) had been destroyed but that all the information on it had been written down. Listened to fascist WABC talk radio with Monica Crowley curious to what the neo-con's are saying and I was digusted by her spin. Saying GWB was a 'very,very good man', that Iraqui prisoners were thugs so therefore 'subhuman'. She was coding her language of how stupid to have taken photos at the prison. Like yeah, for the future just keep it totally secret. Googled this @$#$%^ and she fits the neo-con Barbie Doll right out of the Ann Coutler Cookie Cutter Stepford Salon. But her eyes say: mean as they come. She's a 'not see' shilling for the war. I swear she was swooning over Bush. Euuuuuu.

We can talk about peace until we're blue in the face, but until each of the parties involved figures out a way to walk the talk of peace and the spirituality that they both claim, they're likely destined to repeat patterns that do little more than serve to teach those souls by experience.

Jeannie, thanks for the great link to the New Humanity. Corlionus, you are most welcome! Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 04:16 AMcorleonis, my apologies for getting the spelling wrong on your name. :-/ Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 04:21 AMWV, Did you see Bethcf4p's post above on some of the Kerry/Bush differences? I've copied it below for you just in case. As far as Kerry's other ideas, they're listed on www.JohnKerry.com. I have not read his positions in depth but know he has a jobs creation program, wants to give tax incentives to keep jobs in the U.S., and has a plan to close up the loopholes for companies who create tax shelters by getting an address in protected locations like the Cayman Islands, etc. As far as Iraq, the specifics have to be worked out there before we can leave them to chaos. They may just be worked out before our next election which would be credited to Bush's column. I know Kerry wants to us to stay at least until a viable government and security force is in place. It may all depend on the amount of Iraqui resistance. I had read that the Shia & Sunni (and, hopefully, Kurds)are forming their own pan-Iraqui government in order to force us out faster. Regarding Jill Dahne, I hope she's wrong on all accounts, although I could live with Hillary being president. Please don't feel like I am pressuring you. As I said, you are entitled to your position and I respect it. The difference as I see it between Kerry and Dean, Kucinich, Nader is that they really don't have anything to lose so they can say what they want...Kerry stands a lot to loose. I'm sure he is no angel and, as Sally as said, there may be dubious behavior back there waiting to surface in a scandal of sorts, but, until he becomes President, we will not really know what he's made of. I choose, based on his part behavior, to believe that he is worthy of admiration and respect and expect that to be demonstrated at the convention. If a scandal does surface, it may unfortunately discredit him but look at Clinton, he was an amazing leader in spite of his scandalous behavior. Sharon K Here's Beth's post: I read that Wa Post article and I disagreed with it immediately. Compare these issues: Environment: Kerry endorsed by League of Conservation Voters. Bush has oil executives imbedded in his cabinet. Women's Rights: Kerry tried to get the ERA passed, stands up to conservative Catholics for womens' choice. Bush would appoint anti-choice judges to the supreme court. Working Class: Kerry has consistently supported increases in mimiumum wage, and other progressive tax and economic plans to help low to middle income folks. Bush gives tax breaks to the wealthy. Foreign Policy: Kerry is an internationalist with diplomatic experience (normalization of relations with Vietnam) Bush--enough said. Death Penalty: Kerry bucks public opinion to stand against it. Bush has executed more than any politician I'm aware of. There are HUGE moral and karmic differences between these two candidates.
Read this about the "contractors" private military armies in Iraq ---connected to DeLay. Another sign that the right wing is so embedded in our government and wields such influence - I think it's worse than any of us have From Salon (and if you have a chance read their article on how the right purposely lies to influence Americans) "Blackwater, the firm that guards Coalition Provisional Authority chief Paul Bremer, and whose men were killed at Fallujah, has hired the well-connected Alexander Strategy Group to guide it through the current publicity storm and help influence Congress on whatever rules are generated to govern private militias in war zones, according to the Hill newspaper. Alexander may turn out to be a clever choice: Ed Buckham, former chief of staff to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, is Alexander's chairman. Tony Rudy, another former top DeLay operative, and Karl Gallant, who once ran DeLay's leadership PAC, are also onboard. Blackwater also works other angles. One of the firm's founders is Michigan native Erik Prince, a former Navy SEAL. His father, Edgar Prince, helped religious right leader Gary Bauer found the Family Research Council in 1988. Erik Prince's sister, Betsy DeVos, is the chairwoman of the Michigan Republican Party. But Blackwater is a relative newcomer to the Washington influence game, especially compared with CACI and Titan, which have been trailblazers.

"The powerful have to be watched, and we are the watchers," Curley said, "and you don't need to have your notebook snatched by a policeman to know that keeping an eye on government activities has lately gotten a lot harder." At every level of government, records are being sealed and requests for information denied, and courts are imposing gag orders and sealing documents, Curley said, speaking in the Hays Press-Enterprise Lecture series. In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the news media remained largely silent on important issues, including secret arrests of suspects of Middle Eastern descent and closed deportation hearings, he said. "That was an extraordinary time for the country," he said. "It's entirely understandable - and reasonable - that the press and public were willing to step back for a time and give the government room to address an unknown and frightening threat." But Curley warned that a continued relaxation of vigilance by news organizations "could become a dangerous habit if we allow it to take hold, dangerous for us and the society in which we play such a critical role."

Jean Posted by: Jean on May 11, 2004 03:10 PMThere are some good editorials in todays' NY Times (www.NYTimes.com) --- nothing that we don't know already but it always makes me happy to see that paper's writers stand up for what's right. Paul Krugman's "Trust Me" is an endictment of the unilaterial rejection of checks and balances of the Bush administration. A separate editorial states that NY's decision to not allow protesters in Central Park during the Repug Convention is "unacceptable." Even David Brooks, the conservative, makes a good point by stating that we can win in Iraq by losing, even with the whole world hating us, if that means that they embrace free elections. Lastly, I liked Robert Reich's editorial, "The Mixed Up Battle of the Deficits" which discusses how role are reversed and Republican spending screws of the budget but they can rely on the next Democratic President to come in an clean it up. It also discusses Kerry's plan to follow Clinton's model. Reich, Clinton's Secretary of Labor, has recently written a book: "Reason: Why Liberals Will Win the Battle for America." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/11/opinion/11REIC.html?th">http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/11/opinion/11REIC.html?th">http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/11/opinion/11REIC.html?th Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 11, 2004 03:20 PMSorry, the link is http://www.nytimes.com/2004/05/11/opinion/11REIC.html?th Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 11, 2004 03:22 PMhttp://www.armytimes.com/story.php?f=1-292925-2903288.php Editorial: A failure of leadership at the highest levels Around the halls of the Pentagon, a term of caustic derision has emerged for the enlisted soldiers at the heart of the furor over the Abu Ghraib prison scandal: the six morons who lost the war. Indeed, the damage done to the U.S. military and the nation as a whole by the horrifying photographs of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqi detainees at the notorious prison is incalculable. But the folks in the Pentagon are talking about the wrong morons. There is no excuse for the behavior displayed by soldiers in the now-infamous pictures and an even more damning report by Army Maj. Gen. Antonio Taguba. Every soldier involved should be ashamed. But while responsibility begins with the six soldiers facing criminal charges, it extends all the way up the chain of command to the highest reaches of the military hierarchy and its civilian leadership. The entire affair is a failure of leadership from start to finish. From the moment they are captured, prisoners are hooded, shackled and isolated. The message to the troops: Anything goes. In addition to the scores of prisoners who were humiliated and demeaned, at least 14 have died in custody in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army has ruled at least two of those homicides. This is not the way a free people keeps its captives or wins the hearts and minds of a suspicious world. How tragically ironic that the American military, which was welcomed to Baghdad by the euphoric Iraqi people a year ago as a liberating force that ended 30 years of tyranny, would today stand guilty of dehumanizing torture in the same Abu Ghraib prison used by Saddam Hussein’s henchmen. One can only wonder why the prison wasn’t razed in the wake of the invasion as a symbolic stake through the heart of the Baathist regime. More....

My mind boggles thinking how this plays in the Muslim world. The article reads straight through just like this, from point to point... "Before viewing the images in Rumsfeld's office, Bush read a 12-minute statement to a small group of reporters that praised the secretary of Defense for "courageously leading our nation in the war against terror." "You're doing a superb job," Bush said in his strongest statement of support since the scandal erupted. "You are a strong secretary of Defense, and our nation owes you a debt of gratitude." A military official who has seen the photos said that one depicts soldiers sodomizing prisoners with chemical lights and another depicts sex between two U.S. soldiers. The official could not confirm a CNN report that said a video exists that shows guards fondling and kissing a female detainee. "They apparently show some fooling around and some horseplay. There are some that show detainee abuse," the official said. He added that of the more than 1,200 images being reviewed by Pentagon investigators, fewer than 400 are "bad."

Posted by: Peg on May 11, 2004 05:49 PMTO ALL: I can't resist sharing this article with you all as I see some comments here about conservatives. Ran across it late last summer,but it is still very timely. I wonder if this is really where the majority of Americans are. I think the conservative "powers that be" tell us it is so, and then manipulate voting to make it appear that way (2002 congressional, 2000 presidential). "Conservative Deconstructed" http://www.inthesetimes.com/firststone/comments.php?id=371_0_8_0_C Posted by: Beverly on May 11, 2004 06:28 PMWATCH/LISTEN? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4947667/ The largely hidden array includes three systems that only rarely overlap: the Pentagon-run network of prisons, jails and holding facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo and elsewhere; small and secret CIA-run facilities where top al Qaeda and other figures are kept; and interrogation rooms of foreign intelligence services -- some with documented records of torture -- to which the U.S. government delivers or "renders" mid- or low-level terrorism suspects for questioning. All told, more than 9,000 people are held by U.S. authorities overseas, according to Pentagon figures and estimates by intelligence experts, the vast majority under military control. The detainees have no conventional legal rights: no access to a lawyer; no chance for an impartial hearing; and at least in the case of prisoners held in cellblock 1A at Abu Ghraib, no apparent guarantee of humane treatment accorded prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions or civilians in U.S. jails. Although some of those held by the military in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo have had visits by the International Committee of the Red Cross, some of the CIA's detainees have, in effect, disappeared, according to interviews with former and current national security officials and to the Army's report of abuses at Abu Ghraib. The CIA's "ghost detainees," as they were called by members of the 800th MP Brigade, were routinely held by the soldier-guards at Abu Ghraib "without accounting for them, knowing their identities, or even the reason for their detention," the report says. These phantom captives were "moved around within the facility to hide them" from Red Cross teams, a tactic that was "deceptive, contrary to Army doctrine, and in violation of international law." snip None of the arrangements that permit U.S. personnel to kidnap, transport, interrogate and hold foreigners are ad hoc or unauthorized, including the so-called renditions. "People tend to regard it as an extra-judicial kidnapping; it's not," former CIA officer Peter Probst said. "There is a long history of this. It has been done for decades. It's absolutely legal." In fact, every aspect of this new universe -- including maintenance of covert airlines to fly prisoners from place to place, interrogation rules and the legal justification for holding foreigners without due process afforded most U.S. citizens -- has been developed by military or CIA lawyers, vetted by Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel and, depending on the particular issue, approved by White House General Counsel's Office or the president himself. photos and who's who Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 06:51 PMJoannaOregon: Thanks so much for the aquasoul link.

Posted by: Roxanne on May 11, 2004 07:52 PMHi Sharon Katz: In Jan. 04 I googled alot for U.S. Trends from psychic's to see if there was anything new. I don't know if I got the one you listed above but, but found many who predicted that Bush would win re-election.MANY! I became so distraught, even physically ill, that I had to stop reading the stuff. Since we create our future, let's hope that if they all did reading's today, they would see him out. I wonder if any voter who cares about our collective future, would want a continuation of the darkness we have experienced for the last 3 1/2 years, conservative or liberal. However, it is fun to read the predictions, and I will continue to do so, but think they have their biases too. Sharon K., I posted questions a couple of articles back about Elizabeth Joyce prediction for 2004 Presidential Race. No one commented on them. But I still want to know what you all think about her saying that Bush would step down, and that Wesley Clark would be our next President. Bush bowing out or stepping down wouldn't surprise me, but the Wesley Clark thing is astounding. Do you remember when I posted about this? I don't have the link with me, but could find it if you want to read about it. Let me know. Also Sharon, are you the new SHADE or is that our other Sharon (my neighbor from the Great Lakes area). Or do we have a new poster. I thought you said your were going to be SHADE. Posted by: Beverly on May 11, 2004 08:03 PMWow, I'm convinced Roxanne. Posted by: Dommael on May 11, 2004 08:05 PMPat: I should have addressed my post to you also on the Bush re-election. I got confused about names/and who posted. Hope everybody reads everything here, just like I do, so you won't miss it. Posted by: Beverly on May 11, 2004 08:11 PMBeverly, no worries!! Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 08:56 PMYes, Beverly I became Shade. Just wanted to make it easier for everyone. Shade formerly known as Sharon Posted by: Shade on May 11, 2004 09:12 PMPeg, in part this is what I said about the April, May, June period. I cannot find it now but the May 14 to 17th period is pretty bad however Bush will come out of that period for a time without serious damage because of Jupiter conj. his Mars and Saturn sextiling it, after that, as Saturn moves to 10 degrees Cancer with Mars on his heels things really fall apart for Bush. I think he will recover some but I still say his waterloo is closer to Aug, Sept or Oct. The following excerpt is from Riders of the Storm III
March is nearly over except Pluto is going retrograde in a nearly exact square to the US Neptune, letting us know something down the road is coming. The station of Pluto is on Messer21, discovered by Charles Messer in 1754, a huge and bright concentration of stars, including the malefic fixed star Rasalhague. These are the months to watch and I will write more as they unfold. Constellation: "It is said to give a passionate, blindly good-hearted, wasteful and easily seduced nature, together with little happiness, unseen dangers, enmity, strife and slander. Pliny said that it occasioned much mortality by poisoning. This constellation has also been called Aesculapius and held to rule medicines. By the Kabalists it is associated with the Hebrew letter Oin and the 16th Tarot Trump, The Lightning Struck Tower". (Robson)." Bush's Mars line goes right through Baghdad and it crosses his Pluto/MC in Saudia Arabia, I would say he is being 'stabbed' in the back from Saudia Arabia. In Saudia Arabia his Pluto and Venus lines cross there with Mercury/MC and Pluto/MC going right through them. Lots of intrigue going on in Saudia Arabia for Bush and he is in a dangerous balancing act with them. Rumsfeld's Neptune goes through Baghdad and crossing his Mercury/IC it's all very confusing for him. Rummy might be losing it as we speak.

But, after reading "so fuck everybody...if people don't put nader on the ballot and vote for him and people like michael moore who is sitting on his hands telling people to register to vote (vote for fuckin who?), then it's just disgusting, and everybody, all of you who vote repug or dem are just being americans, a nice war, a lot of death.." I felt I had to speak. So, if I don't vote for Nader, then I'm "disgusting" and being nothing but "an american, a nice way, a lot of death"? How DARE you Roxanne?! Your last e.mail is a personal afront to all those who patiently put up with your borishly myopic view of Nader, your continued tortured syntax and misspellings, your pushing and pushing and pushing YOUR views down everyone's throats. How DARE you?! If you had any class whatsoever, you would immediately issue an apology and retract your previous statement. To do anything less would be, well, disgusting. Be a cheerleader for your candidate, by all means, but ... this? This has gone too far.

Thanks :) Posted by: Jeanie on May 11, 2004 10:14 PMHey, don't go after Jonathan. Roxanne's post was waaaaaaaaaay over the line. ~D Posted by: Dommael on May 11, 2004 10:20 PMAhemmmm, confrontation makes me a little nervous. I was thinking about what I was going to say in response to Roxanne and then read Jonathan's post. I'm not going to comment on the emotions being expressed. I would just like to say that in all reality: Jeanie, If my email offended you, I apologize. I went out of my way to express my outrage at Roxanne's insensitivity while still trying to remain as polite and respectful as possible. We all do want the same end result, but I believe we can still respect people's differences without gratuitous profanity and disrespectful name-calling. Jonathan Posted by: Jonathan on May 11, 2004 10:23 PMNader ain't Jesus, Roxanne, there's no one coming to save you, but yourself. Rude and offensive I can get all over, I come herwe for intelligence. Please stop proslytiing your canditate. Thanks. Posted by: bhakti on May 11, 2004 10:36 PMIMHO Jonathan only expressed what most of us are feeling and, to his immaculate credit, he went out of his way to be articulate and polite. He showed a remarkable amount of restraint and courtesy, something that Roxanne's post didn't even attempt. On the contrary, her post could have had no motive other than to try and get a rise out of everyone here. Even people who might agree with her she could count on to offend by beginning with "fuck everybody." The only reason I didn't say the same thing as Jonathan is because Roxanne got me so twisted previously that I posted a 600+ word rant in "cognitive dissonance" and afterword vowed that she would not make me lose my temper again. My daily word this morning was "forgive." While we must be careful who we label "troll" I think she's shown her true colors. There ARE personalities that want nothing more than to cause disruption, and look how well she's succeeded. That's all I have to say on the matter. ~D Posted by: Dommael on May 11, 2004 10:37 PMWoops, I'm apologizing for the spelling errors. Posted by: bhakti on May 11, 2004 10:39 PMDommael, Thank you for your kind words, Dommael (and those others who've offered support). From this moment forward, I won't be responding to Posts that appear to be solely written to raise one's ire or distract from the original discussion. If I only knew more astrology, I could weigh in on that vein. Sadly, though, I'm still an amateur in that regard. So, watch me as I now disappear into the status of "lurker".

Posted by: shylurker on May 11, 2004 11:31 PMoh boy...ok i apologize for the misspelled words and syntax, but i am NOT going to apologize for informing you all that last nite on nightline a high ranking DEMOCRAT official said the only way to win the war was to have a draft. read that last sentence over and over again until it sinks in, is that possible? good, that's a good first step. sorry people who hate bad news and can't accept it, i am not apologizing for saying what happened last night on abc tv that you cannot see or hear because of my emotions, curse words and 'pushing' of nader who is a bit more EXPERIENCED than george bush (and kerry) at doing things for the people, a civil servant which is what the oval office is suppose to be about. so go ahead vote for kerry, but don't take to the streets in protest of the draft because you are hypocrites to do that. if you think that wanting a peace candidate and being OUTRAGED that there is a good chance of a draft is being an emotionally starved 2 year old, then all your correctly spelled words (probably from spell check), won't save you from being thick, at the end of the day, and living in a country that is hated around the world, for the actions, and people within it who can't see the forest for the trees. i understand it's difficult to accept but don't get angry with ME, i'm not the dem politician who went on tv last night and put the writing on the wall. i expected a reaction of outrage with me, you all disappoint me. perhaps you're all too political and just rooting for a football team. but some here say they're anti- this iraq war, i just don't get it. Hey go vote: www.cnn.com Are U.S. goals in Iraq worth the cost?
Sharon Katz and Anyone Else: Thanks for your comments above. Kucinich is the one I choose also, but will do what I can to help Democrats. It is imperative that we do whatever we can to regain seats in Congress where so much destructive, one-sided, lop-sided legislation has orginated from a Republican control. However, I do not think or feel, that Bush has a "good chance" of being re-elected. I don't think he will ever recover from past scandals, present scandals, and near-future scandals, even if the truth of the scandals are never revealed. He has wrecked to much havoc here and internationally to be returned to the Whitehouse. That's just my opinion. I also base my opinion on the upsurge in anti-Bush sentimnet I have noticed coming from all quarters for the last 12-16 months. The polls are just a bunch of lies promoted by the conservative broadcasters designed to make Bush look good. For another fun and interesting analysis of Bush/Kerry 2004 see Doug Riemer's http://www.vedicpredictiveastrology.com ..........He has been keeping ongoing articles on the Bush Presidency since 2002. They are all relevant even if old.. Also, he has some interesting comments on citizenship karma, responsibility, and voting which I have never heard anyone discuss. His most recent article has a pretty, colored map showing red sates, and blue state and astrocartography lines for Bush and Kerry as they relate. Very interesting. Also check out his new "Celestial Wheel" for current plantery issues. He has an opinion there on Rumsfeld's current woes. Click FORECASTS for Bush/Kerry 2004 Vedic reports. I know that none of us here need to be reminded or told about responsibility, but found the karma issue about citizenship profound. That's the only reason I bring it up. Posted by: Beverly on May 11, 2004 11:43 PMand for those who understand what i'm saying, thank you. between reading articles last nite of how the 90% of falsely taken 'prisoners' were treated and then watching the dem on nightline, i just completely lost it. for those who don't understand me, just ignore me, and vote for kerry, and keep complaining, and go on as you are. i'm sure there will be loads more to complain about in the coming four years, so you'll have a ball! i think my sarcasm is totally in line for being attacked and insulted merely because i am outraged at a draft. i may as well be on a republican war monger board with some of you. Posted by: Roxanne on May 11, 2004 11:46 PMWell Roxanne, reality is, this time we can (it appears) vote for Kerry, Bush, or Nader. Since a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush, that leaves only one choice if you don't want another four years and death of democracy in total. That would be Kerry. I'm choosing Kerry. Tearing down Kerry is only helpful to Bush because Nader is not Presidential material. You can shout to the rooftops and Nader will still be Nader. He can defeat Kerry only by dividing votes and giving us the "gift" of another four years of Bush. That is reality. Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 11:49 PMThread of Abuse Runs to the Oval Office Phony justifications for war led to brutal intelligence-gathering techniques Someone's lying – big-time – and neither Congress nor the media have begun to scratch the surface. Clearly we now know enough to stipulate that the several low-ranking alleged sadists charged in the Iraq torture scandal did not control the wing of the prison in which they openly and proudly did the devil's work. That power was in the hands of high-ranking U.S. military intelligence officers who established abusive conditions that were condemned by the Red Cross in a complaint to U.S. authorities well before the horrid incidents that recently shocked the nation. The Red Cross complaint – and a follow-up report that was made available to the administration in February and obtained by the Wall Street Journal this week – raises the sobering possibility that these low-level members of the military police in Iraq may be right in claiming that they were just following orders of their superiors. According to the report, the organization's delegates visited Abu Ghraib in October 2003 and witnessed "the practice of keeping persons deprived of their liberty completely naked in totally empty concrete cells and in total darkness" for days. "Upon witnessing such cases, the [Red Cross] interrupted its visits and requested an explanation from the authorities. The military intelligence officer in charge of interrogation explained that this practice was 'part of the process.'" The report said that what Red Cross representatives saw "went beyond exceptional cases" and was "in some cases tantamount to torture." The Red Cross complained directly to the authorities at that time, two months before the now-infamous photographs were taken. The White House and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld have for months stubbornly ignored and kept from the public the conclusions of both the Red Cross report and the even more damning internal report done by Army Maj. Gen. Antonio M. Taguba for the Pentagon in March. More.... Posted by: Pat on May 11, 2004 11:52 PMRoxanne, I share your utter dismay at the thought of a draft. The real problem is that the majority of the population in general are addicted to the 'glory' of their military, and that tail is wagging the dog whether we like it or not. The fact that it is soooooo profitable for sooooooo many, makes the prospect of downsizing formidable. One man simply ain't going to be able to solve the problem, no matter how much he wants to - he either must cater to the addiction to get elected, and then attempt to begin to solve some of the problem (remember how disparaged Clinton was for downsizing?) or not get elected to begin with. Pat, i'm sorry to hear you're for the draft and will vote for it. that's blood on your hands just like bush's. Posted by: Roxanne on May 12, 2004 12:12 AMI truly like the Doug Riemer stuff, Beverly, and dearly hope that he is right. Much of what he says coincides with what's been said in the articles here. I will pray and envision these results and do everything I can to see that Bush is defeated. Sharon K Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 12, 2004 12:22 AMBy the way, B., where on his site is the article about karma, citizenship & responsibility? Thanks! Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 12, 2004 12:24 AMInteresting thought (as I step out of my lurker phase for a second): if someone voted for, say, a Third Party Candidate in the 2000 Election (say, for the sake of argument, Nader) who undoubtedly took votes from the Democratic Nominee and helped put Bush in office, would that give them "blood on their hands" because of Bush's Iraq war? Before you begin accusing people of having blood on their hands, you better check your own, Roxanne. They may be messier than you think. Posted by: Jonathan on May 12, 2004 12:24 AMJonathan, there it is. Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 12:27 AMAdrian Duncan has some astrology writing on America's "Military Shake-up" included in a report on John Kerry 2004. It may help to quell your fear's about a draft, although I do not rule it out myself in view of Mark Lerner's astrology articles on Martial Law, which has been a big concern of mine. We are about an inch away from it. See the link I posted on Sally's "Riders IV" article (most recent) at the end. Posted by: Beverly on May 12, 2004 12:27 AMRoxanne, remember it is the congress who gets to vote yea or nay on any draft authorization, and they also have the ability to override any presidential veto. Now if Nader were to focus on building common sense congressional representation like Dean is doing, I'd be behind him in a heartbeat. Posted by: Jeanie on May 12, 2004 12:29 AMOh, but Jonathan, I thought it was the "biggest bloodless coup in history"..you can't have it both ways. Now, to say a vote for nader is a vote for bush, is just the tiresome, backward, stultified sentence of a brainwashed robot. Now, stop being angry with me for something a dem said last nite. face it face it face it....it's real. Posted by: Roxanne on May 12, 2004 12:32 AMhey jeanie, i know but if a 'liberal' in the oval office calls for a draft because he must, and is advised to do so, will anyone really say no? especially since most of them will probably still be repubs anyway? it's all a sham. i don't know why i even bother believing in the system. the repubs have their miserable lot brainwashed, and so do the dems, only 7 per cent of the country is awake it seems, and anti-(absurd) war. although to me no war is justified, but that's a personal thing. Posted by: Roxanne on May 12, 2004 12:36 AMRoxanne, Your anger, your vitriol, your unwillingness to admit that you MIGHT be wrong and your pigheaded insistence that YOU are right and everyone else is "disgusting" if they vote differently from you has truly, TRULY ruined this Board for me. I'm so friggin' weary of all this bullshit. I'm heading over to a moderated board where trash and drivel are usually excised to the betterment of all and I can continue my astrology studies. Happy? Posted by: Jonathan on May 12, 2004 12:40 AMPat: I appreciated comments about the Red Cross. Had to leave the house this morning to get away from the hearings. I also understand that David Kay reported on prisoner abuse when he returned from Iraq but have not heard it mentioned in the news. I found this on a website about 2 days ago. If anyone wants will try to locate again. Apparently he was ignored too. Seymour Hirsh did a brief interview with Lisa Mullins, PRI,BBC (The World) yesterday evening and told her the additional videos have sound recordings with them. They are awful. He talked about the military dogs, and prisoner's abuse by them including bites. Just awful. According to him people do have E-Mails of the original videos/photos (this second batch) that were sent from Iraq to friends and family here so these may make it out yet eventhough the Pentagon will try to withhold them. Has anyone heard anything about this? Does anyone think that this whole prisoner scandal was orchestrated by the "covert government" to further weaken/destroy America? To turn our attention away from 9/11 investigations as they were just getting to NORAD standing down? Posted by: Beverly on May 12, 2004 12:44 AMi said and i repeat do not be angry at me with what a dem said last nite..why can't you just HEAR that? i am not "wrong": go and order a transcript of last night's show. what is UP with you? i have no anger or vitriol to anyone except someone for the war. if that's you, ok it's you. i just don't understand why you don't understand what i'm saying...i'm not speaking a foreign language am i? you have some kind of personal problem, akin to the repubs who can't admit if someone in their party does something blatantly wrong. it's the exact same behavior. this has nothing to do with me at all. Posted by: Roxanne on May 12, 2004 12:47 AMSharon K. and anyone else: To find citizenship karma, etc.
http://www.yellowtimes.org/print.php?sid=1926 Posted by: wv on May 12, 2004 01:00 AMRoxanne, it's been said, we cannot solve the problems of today by looking at things in the same way as the thinking that brought us here in the first place (or something to that effect). What you seem to be saying is, my guy is better than your guy and here's why I think that, and that's that, so there. It's another version of I'm right, you're wrong, and unless you agree with me I'm going to fight you over it. And that's been the fundametal political problem for humanity since we've been recording history, and which has created wars in the first place. Jo Where are you??? We miss your sagacity...much wv, I miss Jo too - I didn't realize she was another sag! Posted by: Jeanie on May 12, 2004 01:06 AMno jeanie, if i am doing that today, you must notice that i was not HAPPY to find my proof that i might be 'right' and telling you all because of nightline last nite..did i sound happy about the dem saying that? so therein lies your answer if this is about my ego and my 'candidate' or simply what i think is right for everyone. i'm very sad jonathan hates me just because i'm trying to get him to understand that this may very well happen with kerry as president. but he should take that up with his party that he is so proud of, not with me. he really hurt my feelings which i repeat were not based on bragadoccio that only MY candidate is the real peace one, it is based on utter DESPAIR! Posted by: Roxanne on May 12, 2004 01:06 AMRemember how the Repugs were and maybe still are saying that Clinton could have gotten Osama Bin Laden? Well, looks like Bush could have gotten Zarqawi, way before he cut off poor Nick Berg's head. Which btw, has me realing today. The body was found over the weekend. I am sure there is an Algol connection somewhere there. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4431601/ Anyhow, perhaps something is in today's stars. I had a meltdown earlier, about the same time as Pallas did over something said during the Taguga hearings by a Sen. from Oklahoma, Inholf something or other. What an absolute asshole. Chastised the Kerry campaign for using the prison abuse scandal as a campaing issue. GOP, pass the buck party, that's them. I'll leave that one before I send myself into premature menopause, sigh. Anyhow, I was alerted to the draft issue thru the Michael C. Ruppert website. He called it so awhile back saying the draft would be reinstated whether Bush or Kerry won the election this fall. You have to remember that Bush Admin passed some laws, I think it was back in 02, that would inhibit one from going to Canada to escape some future draft. The congress has also set aside money to reinstate it at some future date. The people most eligible for this draft will be the Pluto in Scorpio generation. In a strange way, I do not think this is accidental, but more like some vast karmic fate in play. Posted by: Shade on May 12, 2004 01:07 AMWhoa Jonathan, come back!!!! Roxanne, please read your first post and then the posts sent right after. Four good people were saying that the offensive language was a problem. All the rest of the posts sent to us is about not taking responsibility for this and dodging. Just what you write to us that you don't like in the government and complain about while pushing your agenda in our face. I mostly ignore the nonsnese but just kept hoping you'd take responsibility for poor actions taken this evening. That's all, please stop fingerpointing with such hostility it's not very christian-like. Posted by: bhakti on May 12, 2004 01:10 AMRoxanne, I'm sorry if your feelings got hurt. That, of course, was not my intention. But one must admit that if one writes something that is blatantly confrontational, that it then becomes a bit of a stretch to wonder why someone might be "attacking" them. I've never doubted what you saw on Nightline. And, if you take a minute and read my posts, you'll notice that I never doubted what that one Democrat said. What I take issue with is the choice of words you used to describe those that might think differently than you. "Disgusting", "hypocrite", "thick", "blood on your hands", etc. It's my belief those adjectives have no place in what is to be a civil discussion. And please don't for a minute surmise that I have some personal problem because I disagree with you. To boldly assume my support of Kerry or any other Democrat is somehow support for the war makes about as much sense as saying because you voted for Nader in 2000 that you helped put Bush in Office. Again, Roxanne, some have said the Draft may be reinstated. That doesn't make it fact. And I don't hate you. To say I do is unfair to me. Please don't assume so much about me. The smarter thing to do would be to ask me "do you hate me?" and allow me to answer for myself. Jonathan Posted by: Jonathan on May 12, 2004 01:15 AMhttp://www.thestate.com/mld/thestate/news/nation/8639063.htm NEW YORK - Air Force Capt. Richard Storr endured 33 days of torture at the hands of Iraqis during the Persian Gulf War 13 years ago. He knew firsthand the cruelty sanctioned by Saddam Hussein and believed that the U.S. was right to go to war again in Iraq. When he heard the allegations and saw photographs of American soldiers abusing Iraqi POWs, Storr was filled with shame and empathy. "For those of us that have been there, I just felt horrible for those guys," Storr said of the prisoners. "What I did see in those pictures I thought was just awful," said Storr, 42, of Spokane, Wash. "There is absolutely no reason for those prisoners to receive that kind of treatment. The pilot of an A-10 Thunderbolt aircraft, he was captured Feb. 2, 1991, when his plane was shot down over Kuwait. He was taken to Baghdad and handed over to Saddam's secret police for interrogation. They broke his nose, dislocated his shoulder and punctured his eardrum. When his answers were unsatisfactory, he was shocked with an electric prod. He was always blindfolded, handcuffed, cold and hungry during his captivity, which ended March 6, 1991. "I know the guards who mistreated us never received a slap on the wrist, so I'm glad to see the system working," he said. "However, I'm disappointed the system failed in letting these guys mistreat those prisoners. "Those guys were wrong, and the worst part about the whole thing is that the troops there are going to suffer." Hoping to deter mistreatment of future prisoners of war, Storr and 16 other Americans held as POWs filed a $900 million lawsuit two years ago against Iraq, Saddam and the Iraqi Intelligence Service. They won a judgment, which they were told would come out of Iraqi assets frozen at the beginning of the current Iraq war. Then they were told the money was used to rebuild Iraq. The case is under appeal. Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has suggested that mistreated Iraqi prisoners might be compensated, a notion Storr finds puzzling. "They're trying to extinguish this lawsuit, and we go and mistreat the prisoners," he said. "What are we saying? What kind of message are we sending? It's very confusing to me. "There's talk of reimbursing Iraqis with taxpayer money. We didn't want taxpayer money, we wanted Saddam's money," Storr said. Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 01:38 AMhttp://www.truthout.org/docs_04/051204A.shtml Can Rumsfeld Save Torture Lite? No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever." Article 17, Third Geneva Convention The TV screen showed the faces of American Prisoners of War from Pvt. Jessica Lynch’s unit, the 507th Maintenance Company, out of Fort Bliss, Texas. Iraqi fedayeen had captured them on March 23 of last year as U.S. troops raced toward Baghdad, and the Iraqis proudly showed their captives to the world. The face I remember most was Spc. Shoshana Johnson, a 30-year-old black woman who served as an Army cook. She looked terrified. Earlier the same day, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was appearing on NBC's Meet the Press, when host Tim Russert told him that the Iraqis had announced the capture and would soon show their American POWs. Secretary Rumsfeld responded without missing a beat. "You know," he said, "under the Geneva Convention, it's illegal to do things with prisoners of war that are humiliating to those individuals." Sec. Rumsfeld knew what he was saying. The Geneva Conventions require that POWs, other detainees, and civilians "be treated humanely at all times." Various articles forbid humiliating, coercing, and torturing them. One provision - Article 17 of the Third Geneva Convention - would become especially relevant. "No physical or mental torture, nor any other form of coercion, may be inflicted on prisoners of war to secure from them information of any kind whatever. Prisoners of war who refuse to answer may not be threatened, insulted, or exposed to unpleasant or disadvantageous treatment of any kind." All that week, Pentagon officials continued to cite the Geneva Conventions, and Rumsfeld drove them home again with an explicit message to Iraqi government officials. "The coalition POWs that you are holding must be treated according to the Geneva Conventions," he warned. "And any Iraqi officials involved in their mistreatment, humiliation or execution will pay a severe price." Rumsfeld and the military brass were talking nothing less than war crimes prosecutions. Now they've changed their tune. With ever more horrific American prison photos filling the world's newspapers, magazines, and TV screens, the Pentagon portrays our far greater humiliation, coercion, and even torture of Iraqi prisoners as only a terrible excess, the isolated work of a few rotten apples. The hypocrisy is galling, and the rest of us - soldiers and civilians alike - will pay for it should we fall into enemy hands. The Geneva Conventions do not enforce themselves. Americans can expect humane treatment only if our enemies can expect it from us. More.... Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 01:39 AMBeverly, I put nothing past them. Trying to figure them out is like a dog chasing their tail. All I really know is that they are destroying what we had of a democracy, and they have a long history of fascism.
Sorry, I've been at work most of the day and just now got back to this board. I don't care what someone said on Nightline about Bush and Kerry being the same. I don't care if someone is voting for Nadar or Kuchinich or Micky Mouse, and as intimate and honest we all seem to be on this Board, we do not know one another well enough to judge what someone does in November or why they are doing it. I am the moderate of this board and there have been a few times that I've felt it necessary to step in to say something. I don't like to do it because it makes me feel like THE MOTHER and I am not. But I am going to ask everyone to A.) Not judge someone else's thought process, B)not to critize another for that process and C) please watch the language. If there is an obvious freeper on this site all I do is delete the offending post. If someone thinks Nadar is a meglomanic so what, if someone wants to vote for Kuchinich because it makes them feel they are protecting their integrity, so what. The chips are going to fall where they will and this little site isn't going to stop those chips from falling. I would like to remind everyone that at least 85% of all Astrologers I know predicted that Gore would win, and he did. But Mr. Gore is not in the White House, so the chips will fall where they will and for the reasons we may not immediately understand. But we do not have to fight with each other to prove our point. Posted by: Sally on May 12, 2004 02:00 AMThanks Sally for addressing my question on the May period. The reason I asked is because it's an extremely volitale (sp) period for financial markets, and I have been recently reminded that the events of 9/11 were partially precipitated to cover up a crash. Also, I would just like to add my 2 cents re: J. & R's silliness on this board. Get a grip folks, astrology is meant to show possible manifestations of energies. I am sure as you both are aware, choice dictates our responses to these energies, so c'mon...... politics will always exist, and internalized opinions are subject to such personal emotions that we all are entitled to; however, the world needs as much positivity as we collectively can project in spite of everything conspiring to debase us otherwise. You know this, right? :) Posted by: Peg on May 12, 2004 02:03 AMWV, I've been overwhelmed by the events of the past days and particularly today, as I am sure the rest of you have... I have been lurking, so I see that things are lively here... Morgana, I hope you are moving gently through your days... and that you feel better real soon. I send my light to you... and thanks for mentioning the poll at CNN... Roxanne, I hesitate to say anything for fear you will feel 'piled' on --- I read the posts quickly and I must say I believe the problem is one of communication... no one has disputed your report that a DEM is calling for the draft... lots of folks, including Demos are. Consider this: the volunteer army works well in times of peace --- folks from families with very little money cannot afford to give their children a college education... the military offers that. And some young people cannot find a job when they finish high school... perhaps they live in a thinly populated area and there is opportunity. The military offers a paycheck. Very few of them actually consider they will be shooting others or trying to protect themselves from bullets. Now comes this unnecessary 'war'... an illegal invasion... a mess... we go in with not enough boots on the ground... [we all agree war is awful, terrible... those of us here on this board agree with you. We're talking about the military now, though... okay... stick with me.] So it comes down to the fact that Americans ---poor people, people of color are getting killed in Iraq every day. I think I read somewhere the other day that only one member of the House and not one Senator has a child in the military. That's simply unacceptable! When we can send our children to die on the whim of a sociopath, we need to be sure we're sending "OUR" children... One of the reasons so many people still support the pResident in the so-called war is they don't have anybody over there... they don't know anyone who has anybody over there. The draft would eliminate that... politicians would have to put up or shut up --- Want to go to war, Senator? Send YOUR kid... make YOUR kid have to sign up... Still want to go? Do you want to stay in Iraq, Senator? Might be your daughter over there next month, Sir. Still want to stay? One more little, tiny thing Roxanne. I hear in your posts that you 'feel unheard' even misunderstood... part of that may come from the fact that you sometimes ASSUME you know what the other person is thinking. It's better to confront it, just ask... is this how you view things? One more, and I will get off your case. Please don't voice your despair with all politicians in attacks on all pols, or even political parties. I don't think you really mean a lot of the things you say... like the Democratic party is no different than the Repug party... parties are made up of 'people'... most of us here are Dems or progressives or independents... we feel offended when you make general statements like that. There's so much division in this country... we don't need it here, especially here... please. Jonathan, please continue to post. Perhaps you and Roxanne can agree to disagree. Right, Roxanne? Light to all Posted by: Jo on May 12, 2004 02:27 AMPeg, several years ago (when we were all still properous or had hope of being so) I attended a financial astrological conference in NY that was put on by the leading financial astrologers in England and US. One of the guys from England said when the NN reached Taurus (which is where it is now) the US will go into a serious decline and would not begin rising toward another properous period until the NN was in Scorpio. I did not take good notes on this lecture and I could kick myself all over the place because of it, but there it is. He also said a huge crash could take place during those years as experienced in the Depression. The NN was in Taurus in 1929 and still there in 1930 when the depression deepened. and we didn't not work our way out until the War with NN in Libra just having passed Scorpio. Well we have quite a bit out here to terrify us, first the terrorists, Yellowstone blowing and covering the entire US in tons of ash, a massive stock market decline, George Bush, and a potential of a comet hitting and blasting us to pieces, and all out jobs going overseas, not to mention our own personal fears (sick kids, lost jobs etc.) I do believe Michael Moore is correct when he says "Americans are the most fearful people on the face of the earth" from 'Bowling for Columbine."

corleonis, (shhhhhhhh ... I'm trying to lurk here!!!) Posted by: Jonathan on May 12, 2004 02:54 AMSally, that's so true. What's an American to do? Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 03:15 AMhey jonathan, i interpreted what you said to me because i saw it this way: i wanted to get into a conversation about the implication of last nights nightline...i am one angry girl because i feel a draft is coming no matter who is pres, (except ralph)...so of course i wanted to lash out at people who may vote it in, either via bush or kerry (or nader! you remember i said if the polls were close i would vote for kerry, but this revelation of a draft can change that for me)..so that's the story. i don't hate you at all. in all of my despair what i am saying, in a calmer tone is: please remember what our values are and what we believe in and don't VOTE for kerry is he will implement a draft BECAUSE you will end up depressed and feel betrayed. that is what i am saying. what the democrat followers (like yourselves and even dennis k) need to do is get some kind of guarantee from kerry that he will NOT have a draft. but people are so scared to rock any boats, so thats the way it is. sally i'm sorry for the bad language, obviously stressed and sort of john the baptist like (miss bhakti), and trying to get everyone outraged WITH ME (not against me). and sally is right, everything will happen the way it is going to but we DO have to be accountable for how we vote (or maybe not! according to the 2000 coup), and keep our eyes and minds open. there's no such thing as a troll -- that's just the other side of the same close minded coin. situations change, people change, even ralph can change and i would too, against him.. we all have to keep our eyes wide open. most of all here, learn about how astrology works with what is manifesting, that is the point of this board after all. i'm not going to keep pushing ralph on people. i just want what is best for the world, and the usa, and us sane people. i'm not going to bring ralph up again until one of you starts doing it, and i feel it may happen over the coming months, in the way i am speaking about this war. love to you jonathan, and i wish you the best. and yes bhakti i take responsibility for my anger but one must judge it by the side i'm on, moreso than to be offended by passion in general. Posted by: Roxanne on May 12, 2004 03:26 AMactually Sally, I'm not terrified/ afraid/ worried, or wanting for money. There have been times when I have been all of the above, but everything changes. I simply think it's all very interesting. The trick you know is being happy with what ya got, who knows when it might just disappear? :) Posted by: Peg on May 12, 2004 03:30 AMok, here it is (i'm not kidding): channel 9, cbs local news in dc, just ran a trailer for the 11:00 pm news: 'new photos, ufo spotted by military aircraft.' i give up. we're now living in what superman comics referred to as bizaro-world! now, if they'd just land on the capitol mall, send out a wise old alien and give us 30 days to get our ..it together! Posted by: mike on May 12, 2004 03:32 AMHey Mike, are you serious?? Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 03:36 AMI'm inclined to think that there is going to be a draft no matter who wins the election. The difference between Bush and Kerry is that with Kerry, a draft would take the form of compulsory national service. That could mean joining the military, the peace corps, Americorps, or another similar organization. With Bush, you're only going to have one option. Secondly, with reagrd to the whole Nader discussion, I'm just wondering what Nader supporters will say if Nader drops out in September and endorses Kerry? Additionally, it is clear to me that IF Bush wins another term then Hillary Clinton will run in 2008. Who is truly more progressive: Kerry or Hillary? Who is really a better advocate for the left? I'm not trying to piss anyone off with these comments, but just trying to encourage you to think about your actions and how you would respond to possible and VERY LIKELY scenarios.

Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 03:50 AMpat, yes i'm serious. i'm also wondering if someone put acid in my coffee. i have the stupid tv on until news 9 comes on and i'll post an update. this is actually one of my healing fantasies: the space people come, remove bush and ALL NADERITES, and compel us to live in peace. text at around 11:15 Posted by: mike on May 12, 2004 03:52 AMMike I like your healing fantasies, and I can't wait to hear the update. Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 03:58 AMI have always said if an UFO landed we would all join hands around the world, no matter who we were and say "we're earth people, we are all earth people." Boy Peg you are so right, after awhile you say "oh, that's interesting, here's another thing to look at." I do worry about the draft and I know that's what they want to do and I have a son who is the exact age for it. If he can wiggle by Saturn conj his moon this fall and in 2005 he will I think escape. I hope so, I don't think I would take it well. But given the mess in Iraq I just don't know if the people would stand for it. Posted by: Sally on May 12, 2004 04:09 AMSally we may just HAVE to drag the Bushes out and keep them out. All us earth people who really do love freedom. Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 04:13 AMhttp://truthout.org/docs_04/051204AA.shtml CBS to Air U.S. Soldier's Video Diary of Iraq Abuse An American soldier's video diary showing her disdain for Iraqi detainees who died in her charge is to be broadcast by a U.S. network on Wednesday in a further escalation of the prisoner abuse scandal that has shaken the Bush administration and provoked world outrage. CBS, which two weeks ago broadcast the first pictures of Iraqi prisoners being abused in Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad, said on Tuesday its "60 Minutes II" program would show video footage depicting conditions there and at another U.S.-run prison in southern Iraq called Camp Bucca. Photographs of Iraqi prisoners being sexually humiliated, threatened by dogs and piled into pyramids as grinning American soldiers look on have been published round the world, dealing a major setback to U.S. attempts to stabilize Iraq. The Pentagon has said that it has more pictures and video of abuse that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has warned may be even more shocking. An Islamic Web site said on Tuesday that an American civilian, Nick Berg from Philadelphia, had been beheaded by an al Qaeda leader in Iraq in revenge for the "Satanic degradation" of Iraqi prisoners. CBS said the home video did not show scenes of abuse but included comments by the soldier, whose name was not revealed to protect her identity, that make clear her dislike for the camp and the prisoners under her control. "I hate it here," she said on the tape. "I want to come home. I want to be a civilian again. We actually shot two prisoners today. One got shot in the chest for swinging a pole against our people on the feed team. One got shot in the arm. We don't know if the one we shot in the chest is dead yet." More.... Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 04:13 AMOooh, Mike! Shut yo mouth! Don't you imagine they are pushing that Mexican video because we're all experiencing almost overwhelming emotional overload (fatigue for those of us who've been following all this you-know-what for so long)? I hope everyone gets some good rest tonight. At the rate things are going, we'll all need it. Peace to all. A Mexican air force plane on a mission to hunt illegal narcotics traffickers videotaped 11 unidentified flying objects (UFOs), according to a media report. ... In the tape, broadcast by Televisa network, the UFOs appear as white spots in the sky. At first the pilots can be heard saying they think the alleged UFOs are planes carrying drug cargos. ... Then the infrared camera reveals another 10 luminous spots moving at great speed. http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/05/12/1084289693075.html Also, from the South African Independent Online: Mexico City - Mexico's largest television network on Monday and Tuesday broadcast footage taken by air force pilots of what they say are unidentified flying objects (UFOs). The footage shows bright lights with "movements and characteristics that do not have - up to now - a scientific explanation," according to the Televisa network. The air force pilots are heard expressing amazement on the tape. ... "It is one of the most important film documents we have been able to access, especially because it comes from an official source," said Jaime Mausan, a journalist who has been tracking the UFO phenomenon for more than 25 years. http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?click_id=122&art_id=qw1084294082176B252... Story on, ahem, Rense here, with more detail: http://www.rense.com/general52/deff.htm I have a comment. I usually give no note to some Here's my comment. Most of us here are obsessive And that's why I come here. Kindred spirits. But obsessive compulsive over a particular religion doesn't belong here. Obsessively compulsively expressing anger on every post doesn't belong here. And just when I had the loveliest thought today I was thinking, after speaking with another friend who has absolutely no knowledge and interest in what is going on in this country and explaining the Bush family history, etc etc, how only spiritual people like the participants on this board and some others seem to be aware of the danger that all that is "good" in this country is in. Besides on this board, my closest friends who I've known for some 30 years and who also studied But we don't curse and swear at each other if one supports Kerry, and the other supports Clark, etc. It;'s tiresome. And boring. And disruptive to the entire stream of intelligence here. I agree with the person who posted above about I'd like to suggest to Jonathan, and others, I dont want to be bothered with nonsense, so I skip over it. Try it. Much less aggravation and wasted time answering nonsense. AND NOW BACK TO THE SUBJECT: finally! Marvin Kalb, that old distinguished journalist was on CNN tonight He said concerning the media: It was not doing its job throughout these past three years. And then he said:
OMG, I saw luminous lights in the sky (about 9) twenty years ago in northern N.J. in a very populated place. It was twightlight, not day or night but still light. They were not moving much but did kind of float around and towards each other. Well, maybe this is the Venus-Sun eclipse incident and I for one feel it's not a moment too soon!!!! They are here to take our focus off these conflicts on earth and on greater things! I hope! I hope! I hope! Maybe even help us solve our problems. This is just SO exciting. Sweet dreams all.

They're finally speaking out and showing they know Bush is using the United States Army for private purposes!!! Go Governor!
Holden said if they are, he strenuously objected to the "wrongful use of U.S. Army personnel in this manner." Holden's letter said he had been in contact with Missouri Adjutant General Dennis Shull, who said he had received complaints from soldiers' families about the type of duty the soldiers were being assigned in Iraq. Holden's letter said Shull had told him that the guard was supplying drivers for Kellogg, Brown and Root, a civilian contractor. Oh this is some night, we have UFO's in Mexico, and little ole Denver, CO on their news tonight was given the 1st interview with Lynndie England (the girl in the photo) and she has a story to tell. Denver is not the big town and Brian Moss is not Dan Rather. And Pallas18 Gov. Oh my. This is too strange. Venus, bless her, is comin on. This is too funny. And to the 'obsessive compulsive' astrologer above, that's what makes a good astrologer. That obsessive compulsive need to unravel just keeps you at it. Faced with a scarcity of letters praising the president, a newspaper in a Republican-leaning district appealed for pro-Bush letters, then backed off the request Tuesday amid complaints of blatant politics Last week in an editorial, The Post-Crescent said most of its letters had been coming from one side and asked readers "to help us 'balance' things out." "We've been getting more letters critical of President Bush (news - web sites) than those that support him," the editorial said. "We're not sure why, nor do we want to guess. But in today's increasingly polarized political environment, we would prefer our offering to put forward a better sense of balance." On Tuesday, the newspaper located in Appleton, Wis., with a daily circulation of just over 56,000 ran a second editorial stepping back from the appeal. Executive editor Andrew Oppmann said the paper's intentions in the May 4 editorial had been misinterpreted. "Hindsight being 20/20, I can see how invoking the candidate's name read like 'Hey, let's all jump on the Bush bandwagon,'" said Oppmann, who pointed out that the paper endorsed Democrat Al Gore (news - web sites) in 2000. "But our intent was just to get more readers participating and telling people, 'Hey, if you don't like what you read, just write a letter and we'll run it.'" The newspaper is located in a congressional district that Bush won handily in 2000, beating Gore, 52 percent to 43 percent. Some newspaper readers objected to the appeal. Ellen Kunz of Neenah, Wis., accused the paper of ignoring local sentiment against Bush in a letter published Tuesday on the paper's Web site. "If you are receiving so many letters, indicating an imbalance of opinions, it is because your readers feel they need to do your job for you," Kunz wrote. "They are telling you that there isn't enough public scrutiny of this administration's policies and actions." Della Besaw called the paper to complain, "Whose bright idea was it to solicit ready support for Bush? Was it a P-C executive decision or Gannett headquarters? The best support Bush Republicans and others can give for the closest thing to a despot this country has ever seen is their silence," according to a transcript printed on the Web site. Oppmann said the editorial was a local decision and did not come from Gannett. On a blog called Approximately Perfect (can't find the link right now) someone named Justine posted the perfect phrase to describe the Bushies' activities: Hello, Pat, I have been scanning too fast and somehow missed your nice post re the Hugunoets. I know more about my husband's family (mine is more eclectic--a touch of French, a touch of Welch, a touch of English, German, Polish, etc.) Anyhow his people came over from LaRochelle just a quick run to jump on the boat before the King's axman. got them. Landed in the Carolinas, drifted into the hills of Tennessee--were trappers and hunters. Posted by: Barbara on May 12, 2004 02:07 PM
I have a probably unanswerable question. GWB is so eager to send our sons and daughters to fight in his illegal war. Why isn't he sending his own daughters? Sally, my nephew who we thought would be safe in Guam for the next 6 months has received formal orders for Iraq. The e-mail he sent his parents last weekend was heartbreaking. 21 years old and he's thinking how he wants to be remembered after death. Joshua went into the military because he didn't have any other choices. He didn't want to continue in school and it's too hard to suppport yourself with only a high school education. He knew he might have to go to a combat zone but when you're that young you don't think of what the consequences truly are. I pray he comes home safely. I pray the "war" ends before my other nieces and nephews have to go. So once again, why aren't the twins in uniform? Posted by: Teresa on May 12, 2004 03:02 PMI just can't get over the beheading of Nick Berg, especially after I saw him identify himself on tape. It is terribly tragic. And the raw barbarianism of it! I know it exists in the Muslim world as a punishment for crime. May G-P help his family, the people who think this type of action is justified to come to their senses or be stopped, and all world leaders and citizens to do the right thing. I think the cruel and abusive treatment of the Iraqui prisoners showed us to ourselves and the world. The U.S. permits and even encourages such behaviors. But the act perpetrated on Nick Berg again shows the shocking, violent & vengeful psychology of those whom we are dealing with. I subscribe to a website who sends out thoughts for the day. Here is today's - something we MUST hold on to. Seed of Peace Each morning before we begin the journey of the day let us sit still, in silence, and sow the seed of peace. Peace is harmony and balance. Peace is - freedom from the burden of negativity and wastefulness. Let peace find its home within us. Peace is our original strength, our eternal tranquility of being.
Teresa, that just makes me sick about your nephew, sick and angry. A 21 year old has no business having to think how he wants to be remembered after he is dead. My prayers go with him and his family. "My prayers go with" doesn't that just sound trite? It isn't, it isn't at all. Posted by: Sally on May 12, 2004 03:52 PMI know what you mean, Sally, and I appreciate the sentiment. Sometimes words just can't be found that are sufficient to express what we want to say. Thank you for your prayers.

This is an unjust illegal war and everybody knows it. Got any relatives in France or Germany? They certainly would not agree with increasing troops in Iraq. Hope he gets out of it. Iraq is no place for any Pallas18, thanks for your suggestions. However, military indoctrination being what it is, Josh wants to go with his unit. He's scared but he thinks it's his duty to go and I have to respect that. I just wish the cause was just. Posted by: Teresa on May 12, 2004 04:07 PMKerry Describes Health Proposal In a dusty warehouse of Louisville Stoneware Co., a small clay pottery company established here in 1815, Sen. John F. Kerry on Tuesday detailed his plan to reduce the cost of health coverage for small-business owners and their employees. Addressing a small group of business owners and many of Louisville Stoneware's 63 employees, Kerry accused President Bush of ignoring a "crisis" of escalating health care costs for smaller businesses. Health insurance premiums have shot up by nearly 50 percent over the past three years for small firms, forcing many owners to scale back or scuttle coverage for employees, studies show. This helps to explain why 43 million Americans are without insurance. "Everybody is sliding backwards," the Massachusetts Democrat said. About two-thirds of small businesses offered health plans to their employees in 2003, a slight decrease from 2000, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Anthony Urbaites, president of Louisville Stoneware, and Bruce Cohen, owner of B.C. Plumbing, which employs 10 people, described how skyrocketing insurance costs are eating into profits and stifling expansion and hiring. Cohen said that last month he was forced to increase the annual deductible for his employees to $2,500 from $500. He said his company's health care costs rose by 20 percent in 2002, 15 percent in 2003 and would have risen 17 percent more this year without the change. "Escalating costs just seem to keep escalating," Cohen said. Kerry outlined in detail his plan to help Cohen and Urbaites. Sometimes derided as aloof or distant from average voters, Kerry is often at his political finest in these small, intimate policy discussions. With 19 years of Senate experience, Kerry appears to impress his audiences with his mastery of policy arcana and ability to explain complicated ideas. And his answers tend to be snappier and more direct than his sometimes rambling explanations of policies in more formal stump speeches. Urbaites and Cohen, who declined to discuss their personal politics, said they were impressed with Kerry's style and his proposals. During the discussion, Kerry reiterated his proposal to offer small-business owners a mix of tax breaks and government assistance in exchange for their lowering the cost of health insurance for employees. Under the Kerry plan, small-business owners would get a tax credit to cover as much as 50 percent of the cost of providing coverage to employees with incomes that are not more than 300 percent of the poverty level. In 2003, a family of three making less than $45,000 and a family of four making less than $54,000 would have qualified if the Kerry plan were law, according to Sarah Bianchi, the senator's policy director. Kerry would also allow small-business owners to buy into the same health plan that covers members of Congress and to receive a tax credit if they pick up at least half of the cost for employees. Finally, Kerry said he would seek to drive down coverage costs by taking catastrophic medical costs -- $50,000 or more -- out of the private sector and placing them on the government's tab. More... Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 04:41 PMThanks for posting Kerry's health care plan, Pat. It is refreshing and I hope people are not too beaten-up by bad press and mis-facts to fail to ignore it. If evaluated in any depth, it stands to win. I went to Orr's site where she has posted the Eye-rack attack chart. Being a complete novice, I would appreciate the input of experts here. If I understand it correctly, Saturn is now opp by transit the war chart Mars, transiting Mars will be joining tr Saturn very soon, Venus will be retro-ing back opposite war Pluto (on the mid-heaven!), etc. Wow. Posted by: shylurker on May 12, 2004 04:52 PMPallas, his most dangerous time will be August to mid October if he continues after that and if he is elected I don't think he will serve more than six months into his second term. Posted by: Sally on May 12, 2004 04:57 PMShylurker, Saturn has just passed war chart Mars, Saturn to Mars, or Mars to Saturn is frustrated anger and usually when the aspect passes there is a big blow up. As awful as it seems in light of all that has been happening, there is an even bigger blowup potential on the horizon when Mars opposes war chart mars. The Venus to the war's Pluto takes on new meaning when you consider that Bush's Uranus is opposing that Pluto as is his NN, with the war Pluto sitting on his SN and the black hole in which Pluto keeps activating. The trauma this administration has experienced in the last few months is only a warm up to what's ahead for them. Astrology can only predict what is ahead by looking at the history behind, and that's no good in this case because what is coming is nothing experienced before in this country or by this government. As an example, think what would happen if something happened to Bush, Cheney has an approval rating around something like 36 percent, what would we do as a people? I would like to throw out a couple of things, one is; has anyone noticed how quiet the Republican held House of Rep. has been on this whole mess? Two, every major embassy in Africa and the Middle East has told Americans they need to get out of those countries as the hatred and danger to Americans has grown, and yet from our own Homeland Security America has not given any code alerts. No yellow, orange or red, and yet the atmosphere is more volatile than ever. Is there no chatter? No threats in this country? How odd. Posted by: Sally on May 12, 2004 05:15 PMhttp://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/050304_women_draft.html Selective Service Eyes Women's Draft *** If this proposal is set into law, my girlfriend and I would fall squarely within the parameters. She is 29 and getting a degree in Mandrin Chinese and I might accidentally be considered knowledgable about computers. I thought I'd be old enough to not be considered, but if they bump the age limit up, well, let's just say I'd welcome some sane discussion of this issue. It seems to me that the largest contributing factor toward the marketing of the Iraq war was that it was supposed to be a painless, bloodless exercise for America's military that would not affect the average citizen. Images are now penetrating America's consciousness of the unspeakably violent and nightmarish situation we are in. The "draft" concept, as we are all aware, triggers an intense reaction from everyone, even those that never ever devote a thought to politics. As rightly abhorrent as the "draft" concept is, I would think that the *instant* it is placed into law, the ranks of the anti-war movement would surge, there would actually be an increase in dialogue about our motives and tactics in the Middle East, and the media would cover the debate because it would be a sellable talking point. I also figure that the number of pregnancies among women ages 18-34 would skyrocket. You'd certainly be hearing about an expected ~Wee Dom~ at this forum. This cannot have escaped the attention of the lawmakers. Returning the draft might be the last kick needed to send Bu$h into oblivion - it could actually be a tactic to increase public opinion *against* the war. The Chickenhawks know this and if they do put this into effect they'd have to instigate a Billy Budd pressed-service type of situation ie. you'd be willing to go to war only because the consequences of NOT going were far worse. It's hard to imagine, but let's just say you knew those CIA torture tactics were the other possible fate awaiting you. "Yes, sir, I'd love to be an army of one." By the way, George Bu$h has two young daughters that are of choice draftability and if this goes into law, they need to go first. Not to some resort, either, they need to strap on their commando gear and get sent to Fallujah. I personally do not relish the idea of fighting Bu$h's oil war and I want the love of my life to stay as far away from this nightmare as she can. However, IMHO, we can't as a country just drop everything and bail on the Iraqis. We have a moral obligation to get that country back to some semblance of livable standard. From a global perspective, if we were to just bail, our credibility would never recover. Really, the best thing for all would be for some sort of interplanetary contact that would hammer home the concept that we are one world and one people. Hopefully the Illuminati are working on that. Anybody ever read the graphic novel "Watchmen"??? Alas, I have no astrological data to include in this post, but perhaps those of you that do (and even those that don't) wouldn't mind sharing your perspective on this subject. Welcome back, Jo, we've missed you. ~D Posted by: Dommael on May 12, 2004 05:52 PMThere are so many smart people here! Ahhhhhhh! Speaking of smart... Letter in the Boston Globe (05/12/04) THE BUSH administration seems to have a serious problem with reality. The most recent reality challenge is the policy of torture in both Iraq and Afghanistan, which the administration is frantically redefining as "abuse," "excesses," and "humiliation." We even have Secretary Rumsfeld describing footage of several American soldiers "having sex" with a female Iraqi prisoner. Let's have a little plain English here. "Having sex" with a prisoner is known as "rape." Systematic beatings are called "torture." Excesses that lead to death are called "murder." The hundreds of women and children in mass graves in Fallujah are the product of a "massacre." Taken together, all of these add up to "atrocities." The dissemination of "incomplete information" from "imperfect intelligence" is called "lies." The billions of dollars that Halliburton and Bechtel have reaped in profits are called "war profiteering." The invasion of Iraq is called "illegal." The destruction of America's international standing is called "permanent." And Texaco/Phillips's high bid for Iraqi oil is called "why we are in Iraq." ERICA VERRILLO, Williamsburg Posted by: Pat on May 12, 2004 06:20 PMMany thanks, Sally. You're quite correct. DeLay just rattled off the usual school-boy revenge talk but nothing much beyond that has come from the House. The Senate is trying to wrestle with its 911 Commission, seemingly without stepping on too many toes. The youth over at that weird letsroll911.org site is claiming that even the UN has viewed their footage. And the Mexican Air Force is flying with UFOs. And more is coming? It's all too crazy for me. A post script to Dommael: An accurate prediction was made by some during the Vietnam protests: As soon as they shut down the draft, the protests will stop. I couldn't believe it. I thought we were protesting to stop the horror (as well as for keeping every mother's unwilling son out of that disaster). Not so. The draft stopped and so did the protests. Interestingly, I used to go to the protests wearing my surplus Navy pea-coat (they were perfect for absorbing the blows) given to me by by one mother's son who was performing alternative service for one of the agencies providing food and clothing to poor people. Posted by: shylurker on May 12, 2004 06:41 PMBelow is a link to a History Timeline written by Stan Goff. It's long, but well worth the read. Also sheds light on Kerry's ME position and why. You were right Sally. http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/042004_goff_timeline.html A recently returned troop, who wishes to remain anonymous, says, “When I read about the mutilated charred bodies of the Blackwater mercenaries in the news, all I thought was that we did the same thing to them. They would see us debase their dead all the time. We would be messing around with charred bodies, kicking them out of the vehicles and sticking cigarettes in their mouths.” Another returned troop, also anonymous, says, “We would defecate on and run over dead Iraqi bodies.” But the story of the Blackwater mercs hits the American public without this context, and chauvinism combines with machismo all the way through Washington and to the CENTCOM G-3. Planning for an Israeli-like vengeance attack on Fallujah begins immediately.

"From my own perspective, it validates Secretary [of Defense Donald] Rumsfeld and General [Richard] Myers' attempt to keep these initial photos from being published," Hunter said. Myers is chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. "I think it shows they were trying to save American lives when they did that. Unfortunately, those pictures were released." -------------- Washington (AFP) A day after Berg's blood-curdling slaying by masked assailants was broadcast on an Internet site, spokesman Scott McClellan rejected their claim that they were avenging the mistreatment at the facility near Baghdad. "Terrorists are going to seek any excuse, and try to change, their excuses to try to justify murder, destruction and chaos," he said, stressing that it was important to "separate the two" issues. ---------------- A few of the many questions:

Anyway, American Politics Journal is reporting that Nick Berg's father was on the Freepers' Enemies List. Will try to get URL since I can't post the article. Many unanswered questions about Berg's murder. Posted by: Barbara on May 12, 2004 07:47 PMHere you go, Barbara. http://www.americanpolitics.com/20040512Baker.html Posted by: Teresa on May 12, 2004 07:53 PMThanks, Teresa. I think I'll start checking out the Freeper Enemies List from time to time to see who else is on it. Posted by: Barbara on May 12, 2004 08:03 PMI read somewhere that Nick Berg had been "detained by US authorities in Iraq" last month and his parents had been trying to locate him. Proportedly he was released in the last week or so. Don't know if this is true or not, but if true, raises unbelievable questions. Posted by: Jeanie on May 12, 2004 08:14 PMCheck this out. Just heard on Air America Radio news that Nader is on the ballot in 8 states being funded by ROSS PEROT. Smells stinky to me. Posted by: bhakti on May 12, 2004 09:08 PMIt just occurred to me that lately Bush has been repeating over and over and over "I'm a man of conviction." Jeanie, he's probably saying it over and over since noone's given him a new line lately. Posted by: shylurker on May 12, 2004 09:32 PMshylurker, I realize it comes from not being able to string more than a couple of words coherently together, but at the same time we can all hope he will indeed create his own reality! Keep saying that mantra george - "I am a man of conviction." Posted by: Jeanie on May 12, 2004 09:46 PMI keep thinking of the last press conference when Bu$h looked straight into the camera and said "those who are America's enemies, well, let's just say they aren't a problem anymore." He is saying "I am a man of conviction". But it is meant to compare him with Kerry and http://www.decades.com/ByDecade/1630-1639/1.htm That "By Decade" site also has Louis XIV of France born twice--11 days apart. I guess he was a man of conception. Posted by: shylurker on May 12, 2004 10:28 PM

The words do not match the actions or vibrations of the Lyin'King. Posted by: bhakti on May 12, 2004 11:50 PMShade, excellent article you linked from FTW. I thought the following quote very informative and perhaps vindicates Roxanne's position as well as others. "As this liberal position becomes clearer, people will again revisit the question of elections. Not the outcome this time, because some progressives are actually saying that there is something to be said for a continuation of the Bush leadership, to allow the debacle to reach its bottom. They are also saying that instead of focusing on electoral outcomes, the people need to see the elections as a way to confront those in front of the cameras and in the hot seat with questions like Iraq, Palestine, and Haiti – which paradoxically puts the Democrats in hotter water than the Republicans. John Kerry will not welcome a strong pro-Palestinian appeal directed at his potential base, nor will he welcome Black Democrats confronting him with the issue of the coup in Haiti . Both of these are easily connectible to the occupation of Iraq if they are put into the analytical frame of colonialism" "ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry said on Wednesday Republican Sen. John McCain topped his list for defense secretary as he criticized the Bush administration for failed policies in Iraq." A mistake. McCain is a conservative republican through and through....95% of the time he tows the What about all the social programs that have been I wish there was someone else who was viable as the democratic candidate - and maybe after this announcement there may be. Posted by: Pallas18 on May 13, 2004 12:45 AMKerry's comments have been twisted by rightwing media again. Said in the context of somebody saying Rumsfeld could not be replaced because we were in the middle of the war, Kerry responsed by saying respected republican senators such as McCain or Warner would be more than capable and it was a pretty sad comment on our democracy if one person was indispensible.

(Close Encounters of the Third Kind) Posted by: Pat on May 13, 2004 04:17 AMHello to all! This is my first post here, tho' I've been lurking for a month or so...found a link to this site on Noel Tyl's website, and I'm thrilled to have found it! I have dabbled in astrology for years, off and on. . .in an off cycle right now. I took some astrology classes several years ago, and~lucky me!~ 2 of them from Ricki Reeves (author of The Quindecile). She is a superb astrologer, and a wonderful person. I know nothing about mundane astrology, but I am learning a lot on this site ~ thanks to the incredible articles written here. I would like to address Bev's comment above, regarding a psychic's prediction that Wes Clark would be president. Has anyone done his chart? I am an avid supporter of Gen. Clark, but was originally for Kucinich. When I saw Clark for the first time on TV, I was amazed at his eyes~the windows of the soul~and IMHO this man is an old soul, a sage, and a gift to our country. Ok, that may sound very biased, but it was what drew me to him in the beginning. Since then, having heard him speak many times, especially on the Iraq conflict, he has been, and continues to be on target. He's been described as "scary smart", and if I may suggest a recent article written by him titled "Broken Engagement", he traces the history of the cold war efforts to end communism, and compares this to the current admin. wrong approach: http://tinyurl.com/2upjy. Clark is being touted as a VP for Kerry, and several comments have been made in the press recently, so I would be very curious about a chart on this possibility. Personally I think Kerry needs Clark on the ticket in order to win. And, although I disagree with some things Kerry and Clark have said, I still think they are our best hope. The first order of business should be to get rid of Bush & co. I need to go find some Rescue Remedy now. Peace and blessings Posted by: starflower on May 13, 2004 04:35 AMhttp://www.breakfornews.com/NickBergEnemiesList.htm Sally talks about events that will absolutely blow our minds. I don't think its a demise of any leader in a literal sense. I predict that the above post combined with the horrors of torture in prisons and the subsequent horrors to be revealed will turn almost all factions against the Republican leadership. The above post refers to Nick Berg being targeted by a right wing web service prior to his latest and fatal trip to Iraq. The only people Bush has left are the people/faction saying that Berg's death is more outrageous than American prison abuse. Just wait until the internet pushes this linked story into the mainstream. His only supporters will turn against him and he'll have about a 25% approval rating. "Is this the end of little Rico!" I'm holding onto your thought, Mike? You all will appreciate this article Mike. Welcome starflower! http://www.stariq.com/Main/Articles/P0005366.HTM The Uranus Factor - Surprising Enlightenment Posted by: Pat on May 13, 2004 05:01 AMEverytime I visit this site I can't help but note the quote Isabelle included in her fine article, "He who looks into the abyss finds the abyss looks into him." How very appropriate for all that is happening. Yesterday was so emotional for me, so thanks Jeanne for the Republican condom joke. It made my day. So much info here and my mind is on overload. But, before I completely melt into my natal mercury/neptune opp, there are some things I have found which are interesting. Understand, at this point in time I still expect to be voting for John Kerry come November. Yet, to comprehend just how much "money" is the "power." Check out The Center for Public Integrity's website. http://www.publicintegrity.org/bop2004/default.aspx It lets you "follow the money," so to speak, for both candidates and parties. I had gone to FTW to source my comments on the draft, and I couldn't find where I'd heard or read what. Typical, oh well, if I do find the actual articles, I will let you know. But Laura, yeah, the Goff article was such an eye opener for me. I couldn't believe how ill informed I am. Aha! But being a truthseeker (Hey, Beverly did you ever listen to Mike Malloy?) I can't help but to keep on trying to connect the dots. So, with the cycles of planets that are ongoing, say with the USA chart and T Pluto opp USA Mars/square Neptune (now) cooresponding to when T pluto last conjuncted USA Neptune in 1968, and the T Saturn opp USA Saturn square USA Sun that also took place in '68, (we currently are in the Saturn conjunction cycle of USA Sun as everyone is so aware), I happened upon a note on another list about LBJ. He announced that he "would not seek re election or another term in office" when, lo and behold, he was having a Saturn return and T. Jupiter was on his natal mars. Hmmmm....Ok perhaps it's wishful thinking on my part. I consider myself a student of this stuff and am much better at looking at things in retropect as opposed to making predictions. Yet, the chart comparisons of planets making major transits to Bush II chart are fascinating. Totally different people, totally different souls using the blueprint of planets, but interesting none the less. Time will tell. LBJ birth date is Aug 27 1908, Stonewall TX. I don't have a reliable time, only a 4:18 am (?) from an old Michael Erlewine Book of Charts. Morgana, before I forget, I am wishing for your "wellness" and healing. Hestia, thankyou for sharing your story. My cousin's name is on that monument as well. How people forget the lessons of 'Nam totally amazes me. Yet we have a world of a generation of people born beyond it, so there it goes. Must be part of the process of "evolution." I still have trouble comprehending that big of picture though, unless I detach. And, just one last thought. The Nicholas Berg story, the detaining of him, the misinformation, my god, it is all so Mercury Rx. And we have a President/pResident who was elected on a Mercury RX. He and his administration have continued to misinform US ever since. Peace All Posted by: Shade on May 13, 2004 05:03 AMIt's possible that Bush might announce he won't run again...it's possible he never intended to be anything but one term, by the way he rushed the It;s not like we didnt know it would happen. It;'s just that we never expected it to be this bad. Posted by: Pallas18 on May 13, 2004 06:57 AMpat, thanks for the link (yikes!!!) First....................Morgana............love peace and healing to you. See the article "Ralph Nader, Suicide Bomber" on Village Voice.com. Posted by: Betsy on May 13, 2004 12:36 PM
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2004/05/13/MNGFQ6KFBJ1.DTL&type=printable Posted by: wv on May 13, 2004 03:38 PMI'd just like to say that if the aliens do make contact and they assume that our President represents the best and brightest among us we are in serious trouble. "There is a temperament, there is a nature there, there is an essence to his character and his capacity to be a leader that is defective and prone to political opportunism, this almost insatiable desire to achieve higher office at the expense of what is best for this nation." I wonder who most people would think this quote was referring to if quizzed. Bill Clinton is back whoohoo! http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=520732 He's back, and this time Clinton is getting personal about Bush The final sentence of his memoirs completed, Bill Clinton is back, ripping into President George Bush's handling of the crisis in Iraq, and signalling that he intends to play a role in the race for the White House. Liberated from literature, the old master is limbering up anew for political action. On Tuesday evening, he ripped into his successor for neglecting the real menace of Osama bin Laden to go after Saddam Hussein, and for gratuitously turning world opinion against America. "We had unanimous support for going into Afghanistan, they [the United Nations] participated in the hunt for Bin Laden and supported giving an ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to open his country to weapons inspections," Mr Clinton told a business gathering in New York on Tuesday night. "We were in good shape. What happened?" What happened was the Bush team's obsession with toppling Saddam, he claimed, regardless of the facts about Iraq's WMD and Baghdad's non-involvement in the 11 September attacks. ~ SNIP ~ Posted by: Morgana on May 13, 2004 05:43 PMThe Pope is expected to meet with Bush June 4th and tell him ...... This is an intriguing story regarding old FBI records. I wonder what revelations it may bring. Blumenthal's keyboard is on fire, ya'll. Don't miss this one. This is an interesting bit over on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/05/12/war.dot.com/index.html Carlos Watson talks about Laura Bush possibly? influencing the President on Rumsfeld, this war being the first internet war, "war dot com" and Steve Jobs signing on for Kerry as an informal campaign advisor.

I wish I had your dandelion problems. Here in I could go on and on, but I'll refrain myself.... Sorry if I took up precious space. It seemed a Pat, I am not an envious person, but I do envy Not really, please enjoy them for me also. I am having problems with my computer too. In my Love, Joy and Peace Posted by: corleonis on May 13, 2004 06:40 PMKerry enlisting Steve Jobs (Apple founder and CEO) could be a real turning point in his campaign. I have a MAC at home and use a PC at work, so I'm very aware of their technological differences. I have given my MAC a name because I swear the thing is about one half~step away from being a sentient being. Seriously. If Kerry will listen to what Jobs has to say his campaign could communicate a real space~age, enlightening, attractive quality to the public. I'm going out on a limb here, but the parallels are too intense to ignore. Consider: At one point in our evolution, our ancestors and Neanderthal man shared common space. One branch evolved to become us. The other became obsolete. In the world of technology, MACs and PCs share a common space. In the world of politics, Progressives and Conservatives share a common space. Draw your own conclusions.

It's great to have your input. Please keep it up! I think Bill Clinton is our best good-will ambassa I heard his pre-publication book sales are already Take good care of yourself, Morgana. You're in my Corleonis, I am on the FL northeast coast--found out early that the easiest way to garden here is with containers. You can kill yourself trying to water vegies planted in sand through a drought. Anyhow, it is great to have a sunny balcony. Suggest the wonderful "grape" tomatoes--they are prolific and so tasty they never make it into the house here. Delicious even without salt. Gardening is wonderfully adavisticly satisfying. Posted by: Barbara on May 13, 2004 08:25 PMI agree that Steve Jobs can do the job for Kerry, Dommael but don't think pc's will go away anytime soon - they seem like they're more popular than Macs for whatever reasons. And, since Progressive and Conservative are terms that can be applied in many different ways, depending on one's POV, wouldn't it be wonderful if they morphed into Progressive Conservatives one day, a forward thinking group with integrity who knew how to conserve what was good and valuable. BTW, I like your name very much. Does it have a meaning? I'm also interested in the derivation of Corleonis. And I think Morgana is definitely a beautiful name - I know it has Celtic/Arthurian roots. Sharon Posted by: Sharon Katz on May 13, 2004 08:26 PM"Progressive Conservatives" ~ I LIKE it! The name Dommael is a variation of Domiel, who is one of the Fallen Angels. This particular entity is said to be a watcher at the gates of Hell, the reflection of Saint Peter. Interestingly, it's said that he has no keys, because the gates of hell are never locked and are open for business 24/7. My ancestral clan was founded by Fat Duncan at the Battle of Bannockburn. On my mother's side, I am related to Benjamin Rush, one of the authors of the Declaration of Independence, and the Father of American Psychiatry. That's me. ~D Posted by: Dommael on May 13, 2004 08:35 PMPat, I think you are working with the wrong medium there (mashed potatoes). Try refried beans instead. Posted by: shylurker on May 13, 2004 08:40 PMI just saw the encouraging comments by Beverly and Sharon K. about my political, economic and societal world forecasts. Thank you ladies.

Corleonis derives from 'The Heart of the Lion" or Starflower: Hello... Thanks for your interest in my inquiries about W. Clark. Welcome to the discussions here! I also use the Rescue Remedy too, in addition to many other flower and gem essences. Marvelous stuff. They are expensive but I have never had to take any perscription drugs!! Starflower, did you read the prediction from the link I posted originally? It is from Jan 2004 prediction of 4 psychics for a newsletter called Aquarian Solutions or something like that? I'll find it for you with Google if you need all of what Elizabeth Joyce said about Presidential election U.S. 2004. It is completely different from what she says on her website. I am not a member of her site, so only get the first page that is free. I saw your post and went right to post you so any other comments since your 4:35 post I haven't seen yet. Hope I am not duplicating. ALSO ON W. CLARK'S EYES: I agree with you about the eyes being the window to the soul. However, the most remarkable thing to me about his beautiful eyes is HOW FAR APART THEY ARE SPACED. In training I have had from "Three in One Concepts" (balancing body, mind, and spirit) one of their programs called Structure/Function details how physical features reflect specific emotional patterns, unique strengths, and weaknesses, etc. His eye feature is call 'FAR SET EYES' This would indicate a person who is able to see the WHOLE picture of most situations.That would be an excellent atribute for any leader to have. Compare this to George Bush's CLOSE SET EYES (CAN'T SEE BEYOND WHAT IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HIM-- MYOPIC Tunnel Vision )- Look at how close set Bush's eyes are. The symbolic reading of his structure/funtion seems to bear out in reality. He is completely unable to see the whole picture in anything. We all respond, all the time, in all relationships, either positively or negatively to other's structure/function. I register "fright" by the close set eyes. I think you should be able to find W. Clark's birthchart on the web somewhere as there was a lot of discussion prior to the Democratic Primary about him and his prospects. I don't know about his ability to lead our nation as I have not studied that much about him. The reason I brought up the W.Clark discussion here, is that I thought it sounded so unlikely and was in direct conflict to other predictions by E.Joyce. I like to mull over the possibilities. Why don't you use some of your astrological studies/learning to apply to your questions about him, and delight us with your comments right here. Also, would love to hear what you think, if anything, about the likelyhood of Clark being President, not V.President. Sorry for all my rambling on and disconnection from subject to subject, I'm trying to rush.
