NEW THREAD
Watching the fall out from Saturn in Leo (fall of kings and leaders) is a sight to behold this week. Lots of anxiety out here regarding Foley and whether Hastert makes it or not the GOP is in flames over this. The Democrats aren't in any better shape actually and soon we should see them floundering. Congress itself is under fire the deeper issue is the decades long corruption of both parties and the lack of faith in this country of both parties. Meanwhile prisons to hold those our President decides are enemy combatants are still being built. It's been a very trying week for nearly everyone from Congress to the average person on the street. Anxiety, frustration, anger are going to be the norm for awhile as tensions build toward the 1st week in December. We are watching the beginnings of the GOP being held accountable, soon it will be the Democrats turn. This country is being turned on it's ear and our constant search for leaders will continue to be thwarted. I haven't left you, I am just trying to get my other job out of a disjointed mess and will be back on line very soon. ADDED POSTSCRIPT Mark Warner former Governor of Virginia has backed out of the race to "spend more time with his family," that's what he says. And that certainly could be his reason, his father is 81, his daughter is going away to college, so maybe those are his reasons and most certainly the 2008 will be a dog fight just like this one.

QOP Posted by: on October 11, 2006 09:29 PMIt's very sad about Cory Lidle (03.22.1972 N/T 12:00 noon chart, Hollywood, CA.) he has a Mercury oppose Uranus in Aries/Libra, Uranus had retrograded back to an exact opposition and Venus was setting it off. There was a flight instructor on board and I expect some confusing communication was taking place at the time between Lidle and the instructor. The fact is no one is protected at any time, protection is only an illusion whether in a car, plane, train or on foot. Meantime, the real tricks are still being played in Washington. This is the week (starting Friday the 13th for about 10 days) that we can watch and wait for a Lieberman fall from grace. He says or does or is found out about something. Both Joe and his wife have a very difficult aspect at the same time. I doubt if Joe will have time to wiggle out of this one.

Sun Myung Moon's business empire, which includes the right-wing Washington Times, paid millions of dollars to North Korea's communist leaders in the early 1990s when the hard-line government needed foreign currency to finance its weapons programs, according to U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency documents. http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/101206K.shtml Sun Myung Moon was born on January 6, 1920, (Sun 14 cap, moon 1 - 12 cancer, conjunct pluto 6 cancer?, MERCURY EEEEK 26 SAG!) into a family of farmers that had tilled the land for centuries. As a boy he studied at a Confucian school and was a keen observer of the natural world. At Easter time in 1935, Jesus appeared to the young Sun Myung Moon as he was praying in the Korean mountains. In that vision, Jesus asked him to continue the work which he had begun on earth nearly 2,000 years before. Jesus asked him to complete the task of establishing God's kingdom on earth and bringing His peace to humankind. http://www.unification.org/rev_mrs_moon.html re his coronation at the Dirkson Senate Bldg in 2004 The Dumbing Down of America By Manuel Valenzuela Something is amiss in the great nation called America.

By Jonathan Cook The Middle East, and possibly the world, stands on the brink of a terrible conflagration as Israel and the United States prepare to deal with Iran's alleged ambition to acquire nuclear weapons. Israel, it becomes clearer by the day, wants to use its air force to deliver a knock-out blow against Tehran. It is not known whether it will use conventional weapons or a nuclear warhead in such a strike. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15281.htm === By William A. Cohn The US will spend some $9 billion this year to develop ballistic missile defenses, with $9.3 billion slated for next year. Total US military spending exceeds half a trillion dollars for 2006. The September 16, 2006 International Herald Tribune reports that the US now spends more on its military than does the rest of the world combined. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15284.htm === No words can describe.

Been researching during some free time to discover that those we think are such heros in the left movement are not. The polls we are told to go and participate in are BS!!!!! They mean nothing, just go vote. The people (blog journals, movement leaders) we put our trust into and call heros, are not. My suspisions and bad vibes of people posting all day, or getting their egos boosted for being a political hero, when it's all about SERVICE, have been quenched. I will always trust my third eye. Not polls or opinions. The movement is dying because postings are all about being in the head and not DOING. Alot of people getting paid to post out there. I love astrology and anything that has to do with 'for the people' and you will hear from me when it's possible to write. Nothing against anyone here on Sally's ship. But my eclipse experience opened my third eye in a big way, all answers lie within.

I had a inkling that this "organic movement" from the big corporations was a crock. But, what do you do? I've tried to grow my own vegetables and fruits sans pesticides and chemical feritlizers, but the weather here in the Shenandoah Valley is to put it mildly screwed up!! It's too damn cold, (29 degrees last night 10/12!and frost)or too hot. Nothing grows "right". I don't know what do think. If I could blow the chemtrail planes out of the sky, I would.

I would like to offer one small correction. You didn't "grimly" rebuild your garden. You gamely rebuilt it. You went right for it and you succeeded. Hooray for you! Posted by: shylurker on October 14, 2006 01:15 AMStand corrected! Patricia and Pat... http://www.michaelpollan.com/link.htm Posted by: Pat C on October 14, 2006 03:27 AMHi Gardeners All. Check out http://www.perelandra.com/ for wonderful gardening. Spend the winter putting your green waste in the soil where you want your garden. Use epsom salts over the winter. Put all the fall leaves into the soil. Grow your soil! If your soil is clay get some perlite and put it in the soil over the winter. You can spend the winter growing your soil so that come Spring, you can have soil healthy and ready to take plants and seeds. Use the French intensive planting method instead of straight rows. It's fantastic in hot climates for shading plants like lettuce under your tomatoes. Mix radish seeds in with your loose lettuce seeds and you eliminate a lot of need for thinning. Mulch your summer garden with all the clippings from your lawn. If you pile it thick enough, the grass won't spout from the clippings and it keeps the soil cool and feeds it as it blends back into the soil under the new clippings. Cuts way down on the need for watering and the plants love it! There are so many things you can do to make a happy garden with a minimum of work. I grew one in what had been OK clay and in the OK heat using these things and it was wonderful. Don't forget to mix in nasturtiums and marigolds for natural bug repellent. If anyone is interested, I can give them the formula for organic bug spray that works on everything but strawberries. I always plant enough to share with the bugs and rabbits and they don't take more than their share, believe it or not. Maybe this will help inspire someone to have a happy, fantastic garden next summer. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 14, 2006 03:31 AMShadowhawk what a wonderful site and I would love your bug spray formula. I can hardly wait to get started on this and I am not a gardner Posted by: Sally on October 14, 2006 06:40 AMI know I haven't been on the board awhile, but something happened tonight that I think you guys would understand. Firstly, I have to say that I'm so tired of Neptunian energy. I got a handful of it tonight. A crew for the NBC show "Friday Night Lights" came to film a scene two houses down from mine. They cleared the whole street, and there must have been 40 people running around and making the whole street quiet. Two minutes into shooting the scene I realized what a BIG LIE that Hollywood and corporate entertainment is. The scene was a major black character in the show coming to visit the poor neighborhood he grew up in. They chose the poorly kept house two doors from mine to be the house he grew up in. The racism was so apparent. I live in a prodominately Hispanic neighborhood. But, because they wanted by neighborhood to be all black, they made the hispanic family next door move for an hour and they put in Blakc extras on the porch. That alone made me sick. I mean, this is Austin, Texas which has a very large Hispanic population which is not even represented in the show (the show takes place in Austin, not just the filming). The lead actor goes to the house he grows up in and, of course (typical of Hollywood's racist tendencies) the African-American man presently living in the house is an A-hole who's mean to the lead actor and has all the machismo traits that we attribute to African-American men. It was so racist and so stereotypical. Thanks for letting me vent. Posted by: Travieso on October 14, 2006 07:06 AMRant on Travieso, we should all make a stand when we have an opportunity. I had tons of fun tonight. I had a "survey" call on the gay rights question on the ballot, let's see: "should they have civil unions and 2 should there be an amendment to the state's constitution making it clear that marriage was between one man and one woman." As her questioning went on and on about my feelings on the subject and would I be voting, her original perky voice started going down and down. She asked me if there were any gay members in my family or did I have a lot of gay friends and I said " oh my do you have to know a lot of gay people to know what's right and wrong, what is bigoted behavior on the part of the masses?" "Why I read history and I could tell right away that women and blacks and other ethnic groups were treated in the worst most bigoted way in this country, and goodness what we did to the Indians who were here first was just terrible." She got so quiet and could hardly wait to hang up on me. She asked me how often I went to church and I said "daily" and how much did I make and I gave her a figure three times my salary, I let her profile me as one of those "white" people who should be republican and absolutely against gays, and I wasn't. It rattled her and I loved it. Well, lately I've been working about 18 hours a day (Until Wednesday) and a person has to get their fun where they can. Roderick, Reid could be part of the Dems being hit (there aren't any names on an astro chart) I expect Hill and maybe Bill (but they are always hit) I don't think the gods are finished with the GOP but I could be wrong. No matter the party, these are not nice people on the Hill. Look at this video, I wish they could get it everyplace. Best ad I have ever seen. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2006/10/13/ad-targets-gop-on-stem-ce_n_31677.html Posted by: Sally on October 14, 2006 07:39 AM wood vent YES WE AGREE WITH YOU Posted by: on October 14, 2006 09:59 AMGreat Garden sites! Thanks for the comments guys. I'm going to write a letter to NBC, but I beginning to think that this is just "par for the course" of Hollywood. I don't think that it's just a social justice issue, but an issue of being realistic. How can you have a show that takes place in central Texas and not have one major Hispanic character? Posted by: Travieso on October 14, 2006 01:28 PMSghadowhank, I loved your tips on gardening too.. Sall I so loved your phone interview....I laughed so hard.. and I had a little equivalent to that this morning.. I was visiting this morning the dependable renegade, because her site always has me in stitches, and there was this post, with a photo of our president, on this coming National Character Counts Week... it is this year supported by Senator Domenici, (R-NM) and Dodd ( D-Connetitcut)... I had checked the National Char. Counts Week site before, and seen that children in schools will be asked to write an essay on Character... So I sent an e-mail to Senator Domenici, saying I think that US Rep Hastert, Rep Ney, Rep Foley and why not, every congressman who supported a war based on lies, should EACH write an essay on character, since y ou know, if we want to build character in our children, we have to give the example, from nucleous family up to the representants we see on television every day, right ? and what was his sentiment on this proposition ? Now I am waiting for an answer to my proposition.. ... LOL Posted by: flo c. on October 14, 2006 06:08 PMSally - the bug repellent is made up of dish soap, tabasco, cigarette ashes, garlic, cayenne pepper and water. Mix it all together, strain and keep in a bottle. It stinks and repels bugs - doesn't kill them. You have to spray often if it rains but it works. I also save cat food cans or tuna cans (tops and bottoms cut out) to put around the base of like tomato and pepper plants to help keep the ground crawling bugs away - like slugs. Companion planting works wonders for keeping plants healthy and bug free as well. I forgot to mention yesterday about vermiculite in the soil to help loosen up clay, too. The Perelandra books on gardening are fantastic. They talk about gardening your life as well as your plants. Her advice is quite sound. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 14, 2006 06:14 PMInteresting tips, Shadowhark. I wonder, though, about the slugs and snails where you live. They must be awfully wimpy if a cat food/tuna can keeps them away from your tomatoes and peppers. I've had them crawl up two feet into a planter of arugula before--and, of course, eat all the arugula. Posted by: shylurker on October 14, 2006 07:42 PMShy - occasionally, I'll lose a plant to slugs but not very often. They just seem to stay away from my gardens for the most part and I've had gardens all over the country. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 14, 2006 08:06 PMSome years ago I was working on the idea of moving to Seattle. I went to the University and there was a big workshop on how to deal with slugs! SO I stayed on the East coast. ( that & unlike in Phila., NJ., if you have a good bartendi\ng job, you KEEP it; SO I DIDN'T GET ONE...... I talked to A bartender on Bainbridge Island, who like me painted horses. She'd had that job for years no intentions of leaving!) PDQ - if loving the plants more doesn't work, you can always try beer. Slugs love beer and if you put a lidful in your garden, they are attracted to it, crawl in, drink their fill and drown! It also helps when you are preparing your garden for winter and digging around in the soil and find one of those suckers, get rid of it. Just put all kinds of good energy into your garden and you don't have much trouble with pests. A friend of mine had a novel approach to grasshoppers that were destroying her roses. It was a really bad year and they were huge! She caught one, made a hangman's noose our of thread and hung it - quite dead - from one of her rosebushes. For some reason the grasshoppers stayed away after that. Strange but effective. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 14, 2006 08:27 PMI'll try the grasshopper idea! We had a lot this year, cats love them! ( My rosebush is so big and old, it would take more than grass hoppers to take it out, ) But my biggest headaches this year came from fungus type things, not critters. It was pretty wet but I think the root cause was soil not quite right yet. In the past I've bought bags of sand from the hardware store ( for kid's sandboxes) QOP - I know exactly what you mean. When I lived in the mountains in CO, it was solid rock so when people asked what I was growing, I would tell them DIRT because it was exactly what I was doing. At the altitude I lived at, you also had to protect the plants from sunburn! A whole new gardening experience. It's not too far OT since we may need all these skills if the world continues in the way it's going. Food may be hard to come by in the not too distant future! Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 14, 2006 11:36 PMjoe loserman of connecticut may have problems coming up, but that does not mean problems for Democrats, since the selfish loserman has bolted from the party and is no longer can be called a democrat even officially, since the sheep's clothing has come off the wolf!

If they go in shame then they'll be too old and or maybe dead before the Republican party can recover enough to be contenders for a Presidency again. Or for the majority power in Congress. They have shown themselves incapable of running the country. They've done nothing but gut and ruin it. Just like the Mob.

It was well discussed in the military circles, though. He has his facts straight. I've studied quite a bit about Pearl Harbor and he has a point there as well. Is War with Iran the October Surprise? A former Army intelligence and public affairs officer, Captain May, delves into the dark issue of whether the Bush admininstration has already planned its October surprise in the form of a war with Iran -- and whether the American Establishment is going along with the idea. By Captain Eric H. May Polls as Prologue According to current polls, if the mid-term elections were held today, President George W. Bush and his Republican Party would lose badly. He would then face an opposition Congress in 2007, one bound and determined to reassert its oversight duties. Investigations, an inevitability, could easily lead to his impeachment, and in that event the two-thirds of the United States who don't trust him could ask troubling questions about his presidency, all the way back to the still-murky events of 9/11. If they're up to their duty, a new Congress could impeach him as a man who was brought to power by a war cabal for the sole purpose of starting a war in the Middle East. They could say that his allegiances are not -- and never were -- to the American People. Rather, he has been bought and paid for by the Oil Lobby, the Military-Industrial Lobby and the Israel Lobby. An American Armada As I write, the U.S. Navy's Second Fleet has dispatched the aircraft carrier Eisenhower, attended by a strike group of subordinate ships, from its Norfolk home to the Persian Gulf, where it is due to arrive on Oct. 21. The strike group will link up with other pre-positioned military assets, and could easily start a war with Iran, making it part of the ultimate October Surprise. Officers from the Eisenhower have reached out to the government, military and media ever since the orders came, protesting that they don't want to be used to initiate a war with Iran. They assert that this is against their service oath to the Constitution, which clearly states that only the Congress -- not the president -- can start a war. Their distress signal has reached official circles, thanks to a September article by The Nation magazine. It's a confirmation of a New Yorker story in the spring, by Seymour Hersh, alleging that the Pentagon was then putting the brakes on a Bush administration itching for a war with Iran. Congress pretends not to notice what is happening, though, either too scared, too involved or too implicated to do its duty. It shamelessly gave away its authorization to an Iraq War in 2002, six months before Bush began the attack, and hasn't said a word against what may be the preparation for an Iran War in 2006. It's been many months since I've heard Congress say it doesn't think Bush has the right to start a new war -- and that means it thinks he does. False Flags and False Friends A false flag attack is one in which you or your war partners attack your own forces while pretending to be someone else -- then blame it on that someone else. As a lifelong soldier and military historian, it seems quite possible to me a false flag attack on a U.S. ship in the Persian Gulf could be planned to alter the upcoming U.S. elections. The war would be blamed on Iran, of course. The U.S. has often gone to war after Navy incidents that were dubious at best, and false flag at worst. The Spanish-American War began after the U.S.S. Maine conveniently blew up as it lay anchored in Havana Harbor, where a jingoistic U.S. government had sent it as a provocation to a senile Spain that was trying to put down a Cuban revolution. Our government immediately called the explosion an attack, and blamed it on Spain, against whom we afterward declared a patriotic imperial war. Decades later we admitted to Spain that we knew they had not attacked us. The explosion was officially called an "accident" -- but just how accidental was it? More and more evidence says that in the months before World War II, the Navy and White House worked together to allow the Pearl Harbor attack their own officers saw coming, the better to rouse the public for what was to come. Have the same powerful officials decided that a Persian Gulf Pearl Harbor is what we must suffer to start World War III? http://estrecho.indymedia.org/newswire/display/31397/index.php Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 15, 2006 05:05 AMIt would not be the first time the government attacked one of their own to initiate a war. Governments have been attacking their people forever to provoke a war they want, we don't even know or can say for sure that 9/11 wasn't such an attack. It has been leaked (wink, wink) that the James Baker III report will state that Democracy in Iraq or Victory in Iraq is not going to happen, giving the administration the excuse it needs to pull out just in time for an attack on Iran. Iran's chart does not give a clear indication of an attack on them until after 2007, however Syria first is a possibility. I wouldn't think it would be such a good idea, following the strengthening of the Hezbollah in the Middle East to go after the largest and strongest of the countries, Iran, I would think Syria first. The control of the entire Middle East is in the plans and I wouldn't think Saudia Arabia could be absolutely sure the US wouldn't come for them or Egypt either for that matter. Posted by: Sally on October 15, 2006 05:33 AMSally - I happen to agree with you but you and I are 'relatively' sane. I don't think those in power here at the moment can make that claim. That's what makes them so bloody scary to me. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 15, 2006 05:40 AMAh sigh, I agree with that assessment. Just not sane, but I keep thinking there must be sane people there who would be willing to try and stop them. QOP's question about the ouruboro (also spelled ouroboro) made me think about the ancient use of that symbol (the circular snake devouring its tail) as a symbol of life. I don't know what the two crossed swords in front of it are, but the circular snake in an of itself has been used as a base in numerous ways through the centuries. The symbol itself has spawned age old questions of life as circular, just going round and round always ending up in the same place. With Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in universal signs, we, and I mean the world wide collective "we," will be impelled once more to experience the lessons of the whole, just as we have been experiencing the lessons of the individual for the last 30 years. There are cycles within cycles in Astrology. Looking at the most recent historical cycle, there is the 246 year cycle of Pluto when the beginning of agitation leading to revolution was fermenting and that's when this country begin following our own ouruboro and we've reached the point of our snake devouring its tail. We will have to wait and see how the cycle begins again. Posted by: Sally on October 15, 2006 07:36 AMWell frustrsting...I can't find anything on-line to clarify this symbol. It is a double circle ( figure 8) with the snakes head at the top......red stone for the eye. To me intuitively, the swords crossed in front of it, indicate life force blocked by physical might. Whoo-hoo! Excellent news. You might want to send this (press release) to your election officials as well as all others: Cap'n Sally, Could this be the "Big Foot in Mouth" moment [Lieberman]: I wonder if the crossed swords, which (swords) in the Thoth tarot signify mental energy and is the symbol peace. According to Angeles Arrien there is the following interpretations: The 2 of disks card shows a snake in a figure 8 with each circle having a yin/yang symbol in it and the keyword is 'Change' Her interpretation for the 2 of disks is: "Physical transition. Transformation" - this is a period of change needed to bring balance back into one's life. The Uroborus snake is an Oriental symbol of wholeness - the yin/yang symbolism of black and white is balance which is achieved through change, "the only constant there is". This is Jupiter in Capricorn, expansive positive change (Jupiter) that takes place externally in order to make things more secure, stable and solid (Capricorn). Turned on its side it's a symbol of infinity, endless or unlimited space, time, distance, quantity, an indication of the neverending universe, the ultimate in expansion (Jupiter), the ongoingness of change unending. Her interpretation of the 2 of swords is pictured as two crossed swords with a lotus blossom on the point of where they cross each other. "Peace of Mind" -This is resolution about two issues, situations, choices, relationships or directions. Resolving two issues and bringing them together in harmony within the blue lotus blossom of wisdom is important in the process of mental integration. It is the unification of dualities, polaritites and oppositions on the mental level. Astrological symbolism: Moon in Libra - peace of mind on a deep subconscious level (sword at the top of the card is holding a crescent moon) and on that level, things are being balanced out (sword at the bottom of the card is holding the sign of Libra). Posted by: lunaoscura on October 15, 2006 02:39 PMIn my last post I meant that the 2 of swords is the symbol of peace, not that swords are. Sorry Posted by: lunaoscura on October 15, 2006 04:06 PMNot sure that's it Shy for Lieberman, but it's one of his trip wires. Mars is at 23 Taurus in his sixth house, and ruling his 5th. There will be something with his "work" that makes it difficult for him to continue, I think it will be his mouth because of his arrogance, but it might also be his health or his wife (Her venus is at 23 Taurus Posted by: Sally on October 15, 2006 04:07 PMHas anything been written or discussed here regarding the recent N. Korean nuclear tests? There is one psychic I know who, on her website, says she predicted in 2004 that N. Korea would be testing nuclear weapons and would eventually target the U.S. with them, starting a war. I found their chart on astrodienst in case anyone has the time to take a look and compare it to the U.S. chart. Sounds like our Sally is mighty busy but maybe someone else? http://members.tripod.com/tra_nations/a_nkorea.htm I do believe the snake eating it's head in a figure eight is the symbol for INFINITY. The Magician wears this snake as it's belt. The 2 of Pentacles juggles the two pairs of opposites within his figure 8. To Be or Not to Be. I also see it as the allegory of Shiva who wears the snakes as jewelry. He has overcome his karmas (represented as the snakes or kundalini which cleans out your karmas). He has them in control instead of Karmas controlling him. You can talk over my posts as long as you want but I'm not giving up. When yurbuds from the internet stop their bogus polls, court cases, postings, and chatter about what heros they are, I'll stop. It's embarrasing to see grown people making strangers in cyberspace heros without any research about their backgrounds or colleagues these bums really associate with. Do some homework, it'll be enlightening and frightening. That's democracy in action. Another disinfo site that explains ways to talk back to the disinformationist. http://www.benfrank.net/disinfo/ Bhakti, are you angry about something? I am sorry if people have been talking over your posts.I know that happens but I just think it's because we are all focused on getting our individual ideas out, I don't think it's personal. I don't think Korea will go off until after the 1st of the year and I'm not sure it will initially be toward the US. They can accomplish their purposes (like they did in the 50's) by attacking S. Korea or Japan first. They have a Mars square Moon aspect and that sure makes them touchy and volitile, particularly when Uranus comes back around in 2007 to set that aspect off. Posted by: Sally on October 15, 2006 06:14 PMA very good assessment of N Korea and where they are and what might set them off. I don't think there is any doubt that both Bush and Kim are operating off of father complexes and ego, with a very dangerous tendency to want to set the world on fire. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15265432/site/newsweek/ Posted by: Sally on October 15, 2006 06:25 PMNo, not really angry at anyone specific on AW. However, talking about gardening on an astrosite when it was advised to us to do so (distracting off topic) a while back when our Joe was trolling, is not so cool. It's just more of the same denial, hero worship and Big Daddyism that has gotten us into a pretty pickle in the first place. I have come across alot of information that has shown to me that the ones who plug themselves constantly, or their own websites, those who do not particiapate in the community but only write in when it's about their agendas (the agendas that their company is paying them for, such as Novogate) is a BIG clue.
Andrew Rawnsley in Washington Observer It is one of George Bush's favourite frat boy pranks to grab people in a neck lock. That is appropriate because he and his party have had a stranglehold on America. The Republicans have occupied the White House since 2001. They've controlled the House of Representatives and for most of the time, the Senate as well. Thanks to the appointments made by Bush, the Supreme Court belongs to the right too. Such hubris is always the midwife to nemesis. Suddenly that Republican domination is beginning to crack. This autumn the tectonic plates of American politics are beginning to shift under the feet of President Bush and an increasingly desperate Republican party. When I spoke to Stan Greenberg, the hugely experienced political consultant for the Democrats, he predicted an 'earthquake' in the mid-term elections for a third of the Senate and all of the House of Representatives. Even more tellingly, the Republicans themselves sound very scared that angry voters are about to punish them with a thrashing. Thomas Davis, a Virginian Congressman who is one of his party's most senior strategists, talks about the Republicans losing as many as 30 seats in the House, which would put that half of Congress into the hands of the Democrats for the first time in 12 years. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,329601383-102273,00.html Posted by: wv on October 15, 2006 06:58 PMThanks for the input and article on N. Korea, Sally. Bhakti, I think I get your drift. I myself have no problem sharing survival and self-sufficiency info like gardening, or the meaning of spiritual symbols. I much prefer important news & political articles and discussions but it's a good idea to break it up, and also nice to get to know people here a little bit. I'm not exactly sure what you mean by hero worship, but I think we have to be really careful of misinformation and manipulated info whether it's put out there by Karl Rove, polls, or people indulging in wishful thinking, etc. Can't believe everything we read and hear. Posted by: Sharon on October 15, 2006 07:55 PMSo sorry if I've offended! I'm just trying to keep my sanity! I saw a rerun of the memorial service at the National Cathedral, held on 9/14/01, on a Link TV show, and realized that I had read this present outcome, from the body language of the major players back then. Bhakti-after what you said I went back and read,carefully, the links you offered. Thank you. 6.6 earthquake in Hawaii- check out the Haarp monitor: http://137.229.36.30/cgi-bin/riometer/riom2_sel.cgi?latest=on&quickPlot=on Posted by: Peg on October 16, 2006 01:49 AMPeg - I know what HAARP is and what they 'say' it does but don't understand the graph. Was it active around the time of the earthquake? I know it's been responsible for some gigantic power blackouts. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 16, 2006 02:26 AMAnxiety Blog 10-15-06 One small footnote: Prensa Latina News Agency reports that “Luis D. Elia, Undersecretary for the Social Habitat in the Argentine Federal Planning Ministry, issued a memo in which he spoke of the purchase by Bush of a 98,842 acre farm in Northern Paraguay, between Brazil and Bolivia”. (Oct 13) http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/1743 http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/HH04Aa01.html Is it by coincidence that the Rev. Moon owns approximately 1.5 Million acres in the Chaco province. Is it also coincidence that the government of Paraguay has moved to appropriate his land in the name of agrarian reform? Is it also coincidence that Moons "paper" the Washington Times is still a hotbed of anti-communist demogogues? Maybe the move by this administration is less about the leftist solidarity in South America and more about helping out a true friend and sycophant. My question is this? Why does the Messiah need the help of the US Army. I posted 3 links re: R Sun Moon a a while back.....( Oct 12 8:11pm ) one of them stated that he gave Kim Jung Il a $ 3 Mil B-day present just a few years ago and his ( Moon's) birthdate Jan. 6 1920, in NORTH KOREA! He is building a Holy Land in his home town there. That pertained to both politics and astrology..................But nobody seemed inclined to discuss it!??? I thought it was pretty important! No offense taken from you PatQ and thanks clymela. There is so much out there to distract that it is very easy to get distracted. Noticed the board got so quiet. But it's the weekend, right? SYMoon is all over; the Tush Family embrace him as well. Wonder if the Chimp and KJI are buds? Wonder if they all sit back stage somewhere, knocking down a few and laughing at us and at our fear and frustration. There was a really tacky reality show on last summer that pitted 20 somethings from rich families against poor working stiff 20 somethings to win $200,000. Actually, I learned something from it as a case study in social behavior. Moon's daughter was the first to get kicked out of the house they all shared. All of her billions did not cheer her up. She was sulky, bitter and dark, felt like a loser. Had to hand it to her how honest she was telling the world how she did not like herself. She actually saw through the BS of it all and yet did not have any tools to lift her spirit from within. Sad. Paint your heart out PatQ. Posted by: bhakti on October 16, 2006 03:04 AMTHE Moon Bhakti? He has a daughter who was on a silly TV show? I still have a lot of things to do before I can paint..........I have to heave the tarp on the shed roof & tack it down.....winter before last Eric and I were out in howling snow storms, stapling it and when that didn't stay, resorted to roofing nails.which worked. But now the tarp has rotted and shredded.and I have paintings stored there so it must be done! Then I have to do the cement board, & tile so I can have the wood stove delivered. And use it! QOP I cannot comment on the tarp because it sounds like a horrific job and makes me wish I could be there to help. Interesting about Moon's connection to KJIl, you can bet that if Moon gets involved or has gotten involved the bushes will not strike NK because he owns the bushes. I did read your articles but I have followed Moon since he was in Denver and kicked out in the early 70's Denver police considered his group a cult and him a nut. Now look at him. Ugh. I know about his being crowned the Savior, in the Dirkson building no less with Dems and GOP there to carry his robes. It's a fascinating question of "how to create a design that will teach by absorbing" I'm not an artist at all but I wonder about the obvious "culture child" from each country with something about that culture they could write on the tile. I am sure I've just given a ridiculous suggestion, but thought I would throw it out, trusting this board will forgive my lack of artistic talent. It is a quiet weekend, don't know if that should scare us or not. I noticed in Hawaii their Uranus is at 17 Leo and the Moon is conj today, Neptune oppose and Mercury square. I would say they don't realize how deep the problem is. Morgana, who has an expertise in earthquakes and volcano's said she heard them say that the Island, built on volcano ash is just sinking by its shear weight. This earthquake didn't happen along a fault line. Posted by: Sally on October 16, 2006 04:15 AMGee I wish you could come help with the tarp! Of all my elderly friends here I am the most agile! Part of the neocon problem is boxing the generations separately! ( In another time ^& place there were younger agile vounteers to do things like this. "Sunbear?"I've had my head so down on my desk with work the last several weeks (over in two days) that I missed Sunbear I think. Did he predict this earthquake, and I do wish I was there to help you, I am one of those people who are rugged as well. Posted by: Sally on October 16, 2006 05:28 AMHere is a link and a snappet to a long con article on the NAU. http://pesn.com/2006/09/29/9500242_NorthAmericanUnion_and_energy/Political Tectonic Shift: Energy Policy under the NAU Traditional combustion-energy paradigm is over-represented at secret high-level negotiations under North American Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP). Scheduled to begin to exercise power authority by 2007, the SPP will place three nations in the continent under “harmonized” laws and a unified administration. If that is not stopped – and we appear to be past the tipping point – will any of us recognize our society? And will it still be possible to shift the energy paradigm under such a political paradigm shift? Posted by: Tim on October 16, 2006 05:29 AMTim - It's my feeling this whole North American Union thing is why Bushco has been so insistent on his 'guest worker' program. They are busy creating a 'slave' class. Have you noticed that the majority of the jobs left in this country are 'service' jobs? Jobs that we can perform to serve those who have it all and want to be taken care of. Lawn service, waitress/waiter, hotel maids, fast food places. All jobs that have to be performed in place, can't be outsourced, have very low pay and no benefits. Sure there are some jobs left that aren't in the service sector but for how long? I'm not at all happy with this SPP deal. It hasn't even been brought up in Congress! There is not only no oversight on this one but, unless they listen to Lou Dobbs or read some of the websites, they don't have any knowledge of it at all and don't seem to want to know. The construction on the super, duper highway has already begun in TX and they're working on passing the $$$ for it here in OK - very under the table. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 16, 2006 05:51 AMFrom an email from http://www.worldcantwait.net. To the World Can’t Wait Community: On Tuesday, October 17 at 9:35 a.m., President Bush will sign the Military Commissions Act (S. 3930) at the White House. In response, Tuesday is No Torture In Our Name! Day. WEAR ORANGE T-shirts at our online store (call 866-973-4463 for bulk rates). Banner on freeways “No Torture! Drive Out the Bush Regime!” As close to 9:30 am as possible, take an hour and head to your local Post Office, coffee shop, or bookstore with copies of the ad below: Text from World Can't Wait's ad in the New York Times October. 4. Click here to see the fullpage ad. SILENCE + TORTURE = COMPLICITY YOUR GOVERNMENT HAS NOW CODIFIED TORTURE. The new law does not prohibit the government from using “alternative interrogation techniques” that include sleep deprivation, extreme cold, personal degradation, waterboarding (simulated drowning), “temporary” disablement, and psychological disorientation. The new law grants George Bush the sole authority to decide what torture is. Abu Ghraib and the secret renditions were horrible. But to take the next step and write such practices into law is even worse — qualitatively worse. Your government has officially shredded constitutional promises of basic and fundamental rights to due process — taking a huge step towards replacing the rule of law with the arbitrary rule of men. The new law will give the president the right to hold people indefinitely without charging them, and without review from the courts, nullifying habeas corpus rights. Congress has now passed legislation that denies defendants the right to see evidence used against them, and allows the use of “evidence” gained through torture. It forbids anyone to invoke the Geneva Conventions in any civil case or habeas corpus proceedings undertaken against the U.S. government, and, according to some experts, it may also forbid this in criminal cases. Your government – which already holds over 14,000 people overseas without charges — has dramatically expanded the scope of who it can detain to include people anywhere in the world, including within the U.S. People can now be declared an “unlawful enemy combatant” simply for providing what the president decides is “material,” including financial or indirect support for hostilities against the U.S. Your government is rewriting the law on crimes against humanity to exclude itself, incurring the contempt and hatred of people all over the planet. Few in Congress made anything but the most token show of opposition , as leading Democrats let Bush set the agenda, staying silent when it mattered, refusing to filibuster, then voting no only when the die was cast. This unprecedented legalization of torture is part of a package coming from the Bush regime. That package includes an atrocious, nightmarish occupation of Iraq and now the ominous threat of war against Iran. It includes an assault on critical thinking and serious motion toward a theocracy. It includes the criminal response to Hurricane Katrina. It includes a systematic attack on women’s reproductive rights, and the demonization of gay people and denial of their basic human rights. It includes the scapegoating of immigrants and severely repressive new legislation aimed at them. And it gets worse with every passing week. As the call for The World Can’t Wait–Drive Out the Bush Regime states: “The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come.” With this legalization of torture, who will now deny that? The stakes are clearly enormous. If Not Now, When? If Not Us, Who? THIS MUST HALT! This entire package must be repudiated, and the whole direction of this country must be reversed. There is a way to act against this onslaught, effectively. There is a vitally important step to take now to begin driving out this regime and reversing this nightmare direction: “The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.” — From the call “The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!” Debra Sweet Tim, the energy paradigm has already been shifted it's the direction that is still unknown because there are X factors they cannot factor in, most of them weather/earth related. Neither the Dems or the GOP are trustworthy on any of this. One thing for sure is the "masses' will pay for their deeds in money, jobs, health, all of it. They are hell-bent on the New World Order and they have a lot of things in place to accomplish it, not unlike the conditions prior to the revolutionary war. Then it was the British, Dutch, German and French East India Companies and the Revolutionary war broke their hold on the world for nearly 100 years, it's taken them this long to get it back. And the snake goes round. Posted by: Sally on October 16, 2006 07:00 AM
GRAND HAVEN, Mich., Oct. 10 — Even in autumn, the cold, silent expanse of Lake Michigan defines this town, where pleasure boats glide into harbor, fishermen wait patiently for salmon and tourists peer up at the lighthouse. But the United States Coast Guard has a new mission for the waters off of these quiet shores. For the first time, Coast Guard officials want to mount machine guns routinely on their cutters and small boats here and around all five of the Great Lakes as part of a program addressing the threats of terrorism after Sept. 11. And, for the first time in memory, Coast Guard members plan to use a stretch of water at least five miles off this Michigan shore — and 33 other offshore spots near cities like Cleveland; Rochester; Milwaukee; Duluth, Minn.; and Gary, Ind. — as permanent, live fire shooting zones for training on their new 7.62 mm weapons, which can blast as many as 650 rounds a minute and send fire more than 4,000 yards.

Ummm...Shadowhawk.... The super highway in Texas has not been started on. As far as I know it will never happen. Lots of really pissed off people making that go away. 24 lane super highway in Houston is happening though. Posted by: Cybear on October 16, 2006 01:42 PMaccording to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News 80% of Americans think the Bush mobsters lied about what he knew about 9/11 in this http://www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/13469 "Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002." Posted by: lunaoscura on October 16, 2006 03:15 PMMoon is primarily a member of the neocon family. He is their sugardaddy. Moon has been working on his plan for over fifty years in the open. He is a good friend of the Bush family. Moon is internaionally disliked by most sane people. Posted by: Pat C on October 16, 2006 03:19 PMAlso Moon has spoken publicly about bringing down the great satan, which for him is the United States of America. He has also bought up great tracts of land in several countries, much of it though has been taken back from him and his people are viewed with disdain. Posted by: Pat C on October 16, 2006 03:27 PMQDP - thanks for the heads up. I live about 60 miles north of OKC. OKC is where they had that class 5 tornado that took out a lot of real estate. It was huge! Glad I wasn't there but the friends I have there were safe. Cybear - I thought that the 24-lane highway in Houston was the start of the highway network. If it goes through, which I hope it doesn't, it will pass right by where I live - which means I won't be living here after that because it would be less than a mile from my house and that's unacceptable. The folks around here see the $$$ and that's about it. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 16, 2006 04:28 PMShadowhawk, the highway in Houston is it's own entity. Instead of doing rail lines they are building this nightmare of a highway to the suburbs of Katy. Katy did not want to pay for a rail and Toad Delay hand his fingers in the mess as usual. But it's not part of the trans-continental hwy that they are trying to do. The whole state of Tx is against that debacle. The cities San Antonio, Austin, Temple, Waco, DFW are fighting it. Cybear - glad to hear TX is mostly against that road because OK is mostly in a fog about it. But then what else is new? Please, no PK jokes - I think I've heard them all - some even true! :-) Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 16, 2006 05:14 PMmy 6th sense is not 100%, lunaoscura, but more than 50% on track, so let us see.After the total Raj, Even as jaded as we are now you're right that we will be deeply shocked at what will be revealed in time. About Bush purchasing 100,000 acres in Paraguay, does anyone know if Paraguay has an extradition treaty that doesn't allow it to return criminals to the US because the US uses the death penalty? There are lots of countries that even now won't send Al Qaeda criminals here for that reason. If Bush and his mob and their families go there then no one will send them back here if that's the case. Posted by: lunaoscura on October 16, 2006 10:27 PMlunaoscura, We all know that the thief is a rowdy big coward Raj, I'm just speculating about the rumor that they've bought so much land in Paraguay. Bush himself might be able to get away with crimes against humanity by being pardoned by our next President or by claiming something like Executive Privilege or something, but what about his siblings, and nieces and nephews, and his brother Jeb? What about Alberto Gonzalez' and his family, and so on. He has a lot of brothers in crime who don't have his privileges. Posted by: lunaoscura on October 16, 2006 10:59 PMlunaoscura, Democrats will only put the thief,his asst.crooked from http://www.thecosmicpath.com/index2.htm I have been asked a lot about the Star Gate tomorrow, and I have received much in the way of information on the event. It IS a STAR GATE. That means there will most definitely be intergalactic information pouring into our Solar system, and all intergalactic information comes into the Milky Way through the Galactic Center, which has Pluto very close to it at the moment. This means that all the news we are receiving is being filtered through the planet of metamorphosis. So whatever we are being downloaded with, it is changing the substance and the course of the world. That said, I am putting up on the site some of the information I have received. I must say the idea that we will have the power to receive and interpret and activate our ideas with A MILLION TIMES the energy we normally have available to us seems a bit over the top to me. Still, I am sure there is a powerful, perhaps imperceptible to the human senses, amping up of the energies that are swirling around us tomorrow, and as you will see when you read the articles I have chosen to put up, they are of vital importance for us to put our focus on. Please Click here to view this information. These articles will be available to all today and tomorrow, and then can be found in the member’s ezine for the rest of the month. As always, I welcome your comments. The Moon connects with Jupiter and Saturn this morning EDT, bringing up the individual critical turning point each of us is undertaking with regard to our social identities right now. This crucial social transformation has been going on all year and is about to culminate in the final Jupiter Saturn square, slated for October 25th. The Moon today will connect with Saturn and square Jupiter, making it crystal clear what is necessary for each of us to do to accomplish our personal task and make it to the next level of our social evolutionary process. This is no time to disregard the signs and inner urges that are flooding your senses. Later in the afternoon the Moon connects with the Sun, Pluto and Mars, all of which are energies related to personal power, especially when taken together. Get your energies aligned today, in preparation for the major StarGate that will open tomorrow. And if you haven’t read about it yet, please click on the link above right now and do so. The Moon goes void this afternoon for the entire evening. It’s the perfect night for some spiritual homework. Allow the Goddess in you to take over. That is, open your heart and allow your personal power, in the form of your Light, to emerge from within and connect with the universal forces that have come to help us make our way home. The old adage Home is where the Heart is never had so much meaning. "Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think." Tell me this isn't a sign of what's to come after Pluto moves into Capricorn: Creating new structures to contain chaos... Wikipedia founder plans rival One of the founders of Wikipedia is days away from launching a rival to the collaborative internet encyclopaedia, in an attempt to bring a more orderly approach to organising knowledge online. Wikipedia – which is available to be written and edited by anyone on the internet – is one of the most visible successes of mass collaboration on the web, with many of its 1.4m articles appearing high in search results. However, its openness has also drawn charges of unreliability and left it vulnerable to disputes between people with opposing views, particularly on politically sensitive topics. The latest venture from Larry Sanger, who helped create Wikipedia in 2001, is intended to bring more order to this creative chaos by drawing on traditional measures of authority. Though still open to submissions from anyone, the power to authorise articles will be given to editors who can prove their expertise, as well as a group of volunteer “constables”, charged with keeping the peace between warring interests. Accusing Wikipedia of failing to control its writers and editors, he said: “The latest articles don't represent a consensus view – they tend to become what the most persistent ‘posters’ say.”...He said he became frustrated with Wikipedia's failure to build expertise into its editing process and left after its first year.... http://www.ft.com/cms/s/e62ce8a4-5d3e-11db-9d15-0000779e2340.html Posted by: NEOBuckeye on October 17, 2006 12:02 AMSome years back there was a Time article about billionaires like Ted Turner buying land in Patagonia and building retreats there. The story was that these billionaires thought that the ecology was so out of balance that soon there would be wars for basic necessities thus they were planning to go where the masses couldn't get to them. I guess they all think that they will have enough of the necessities to cover them until jesus comes to get them. Posted by: clymela on October 17, 2006 12:24 AM
Even if Bush is pardoned by his successor, he could still be prosecuted by the global community, if it bands together to impose crippling sanctions against the US for refusing to comply with international law. Put another way, had Hitler survived, he would have most certainly been tried at Nuremberg for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, even if the succeeding German Chancellor had pardoned him. The collective will of the global community ultimately trumps that of any nation, even the US. After all, with so much of our debt owned by China, India, Japan and Europe, it's not like we're really in much of a position to negotiate our way out of a corner anymore. Before all is said and done, Americans should be clamoring for the International Criminal Court to come and take Bush, Cheney and Co. away to The Hague. Posted by: NEOBuckeye on October 17, 2006 12:28 AMGo to the 3 posts I put up re: the farm in Paraguay. While none verifies the Bush purchase, there is a lot of info about what is going on there......resurection of the School of the Americas in that spot, And there was something about the extradition laws; ;......I think! MAybe that was a separate comment by a Smirking Chimp blogger. It was the article by Mike Whitney, OH! There is a huge underground aquifer there!~ How's that Grandchild Sally? THE PRESIDENT OF Israel was arrested today for sexual coertion, threatening to fire female employees who won''t have sex with him,! Sally, your posting of Hawaii's Uranus being at 17 Leo brought me up short (that's my North Node, and I was born there)....but what is it based on? Statehood? My grandmother was born there in 1885 or 86 when it was a monorchy, and I was born there when it had been a territory.... As for the unusual earthquake, it came from the earth's crust 'flexing' downward under the extreme weight of millenia of lava rock deposited upon the earths mantle beneath the islands. Has nothing to do with the plate shift, which is ALSO happening, plus the new little Liohi coming up off the south west corner of the Big Island....in 15,000 years it will be above water. Must write that down in my 'to do' list...visit it then. One thing both my daughter and I have noticed over the last week is the enormous amount of dead road kill....today I saw a deer, there have been just an extraordinary amount of raccoon dead on the road. Haven't seen anything like it before. Except just before an earthquake. Oct 17 is the anniversary of the Loma Preita earthquake in 1989. I am wondering if that 'earthflex' was giving off sound we can't hear but which interfered in some way with animal brains. Personally, I am glad for a little RandR from the damned political stuff. I am suffereing from political fatigue. And not too hopeful about the election because of the voter machine stuff... Lets just hope the chickens still will be coming home to roost....for all the jerks out there who are jerks. What a weird time we live in.
If tomorrow is the day that Bush signs the torture bill and gets rid of the habeus corpus and it’s also the day the Star Gate is opened and all thoughts good or bad are returned a thousand-fold, how’s that going to impact Bush. If he’s happy as a clam about this bill, is it going to rebound positively on him? God, I hope not! Or will the bad-for-us purpose of the bill rebound on him and his? Just saying . . It’s all relative if you think about it. The Universe doesn't always operate in a way that suits our linear, 'sane' minds.

That's a lot of energy, for good or ill, directed primarily at one man. Can't say that I would want to be him. Maybe the outcome of that energy gets modified today (million x 3-5 billion) and will reflect in the outcome of the elections on November 7th? I doubt if Bush is truly worried, and Cheney is far too arrogant to admit it, but Rove knows (or ought to know) that Rep. John Conyers with a Democratic House Majority and investigative power spells the end of Bush's unchecked power. I'm sure he's thrilled about that prospect. I certainly am.

You are absolutely correct, that is the process and we are coming back around to the "idea people" If we think of what's happening in those terms I don't think people will be so frightened of the process.

By MARK LEIBOVICH “I really, really like him,” says Grace, who can tell you what state the vice president was born in (Nebraska), where he went to grade school (College View, in Lincoln) and the names of his dogs (Dave and Jackson). She gets her fix of Cheney fun-facts by visiting the White House Web site for children. It says there that his favorite teacher was Miss Duffield and that he used to run a company called Halliburton. So when Mr. Cheney came to town Thursday, Grace was at Forbes Field, holding a little American flag and a sign that said, “Welcome, Mr. Vice President, pet Dave and Jackson for me.” She watched him get off Air Force Two, step into a car and speed off to a fund-raiser. Posted by: wv on October 17, 2006 03:29 PMI like the idea people theme, too. Posted by: Peg on October 17, 2006 05:32 PMThat poor little Grace has already had her sensory recepters sabotaged, by family. Just likt the little 5 year old boy I witnessed here in MAine.

If so, it doesn't do it near justice. Posted by: JoannaOregon on October 17, 2006 06:59 PM"idea people, process people, controlling people" First came Jesus, teaching love. Then came the Apostles, teaching what Jesus taught and meant. Then came religion with popes, ministers and mouthpieces preaching hate and fear. Yup! That's exactly how it happens! Posted by: lunaoscura on October 17, 2006 07:13 PMThat's it! Not to worry! I think mother nature and human nature will take care of the population problem here fairly soon. Be a toss up to see who can do the most damage first but I think it will happen. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 17, 2006 07:30 PMSally...thanks for the info....Hawaii became a state at the same time my dad (who lived there in the early '30's in the army, so that was a Saturn return for him) was operated on for the cancer which killed him 9/11/60. I am glad you have so many 'agreements' with the state of Hawaii, although I don't think I feel that anymore for myself, it has changed too much....I would have to think that mine would have been when it was declared a territory...and for my grandmother, when it was officially a monarchy...damned if I know when that would have been! But we sure know when it ended, with the US overthrowing it. to expand this thread, I happened upon this site about political changes which is very interesting...the cycles of change. check it out: So, I'd say maybe we'd better get CRACKING? Posted by: judigem on October 17, 2006 07:39 PMwv, that has to be the most disturbing article I've read this month. I have this image now in my head of a little girl anxiously waiting with a flower in hand to greet, none other than... Darth Vader. But even more realistically, Adolf Hitler had plenty of his own supporters among children, though most of them, too, probably didn't know any better at the time. Hopefully, when she's older, this girl, too, see things with wider eyes. And maybe by that time, Cheney and all he represents will be little more than a memory. A dark one, certainly, but one that none of us should ever forget. Posted by: NEOBuckeye on October 17, 2006 07:52 PMBy the way, I have a question of the politically active and saavy people here like QOP. When I call my Senator or Congressman's office to ask them to support or negate a certain bill, I always say this is Sharon _____ from New Orleans. They say they will pass the word along, etc., but get off the phone so quickly, I doubt if they are writing my name down. What actually happens when you phone in and is there anything more I can do to insure they take note of my position and/or request? Posted by: Sharon on October 17, 2006 08:06 PMI don't get the population celebration, either. We have too many people, and too few resources to keep growth up for growth's sake alone in the US. But I guess it goes hand-in-hand with our apparent love of suburban sprawl, bigger and bigger houses, and congested highways, all of which seem to be hallmarks of the Pluto in Sagittarius era. These themes seem to be particularly emphasised here in the US because of this country's Sag ascendant and Pluto presently transiting the natal US First House. I suspect that blind optimism is going to turn a lot more practical and serious over the next two years, as Pluto moves into Capricorn. Maybe then, we'll get serious about imposing practical limits on growth. Posted by: NEOBuckeye on October 17, 2006 08:07 PMA reminder that today is October 17th, the day that our thoughts are magnified something like 1 million fold. Be love, light, truth and compassion. Posted by: Sharon on October 17, 2006 08:25 PMHello all, have been in lurking mode for sometime - building our new house has, and continues to be, a challenge. Thanks so much Sally and others for your continued writing and comments. I do enjoy this oasis from the madness. The Hawaii earthquake was just off the west coast where I used to live - most unusual to have one that large centered there. That said, any quakes centered there always seemed to me to be quite different in feel to those coming from near the active volcano on the other side of the island. Back to politics - Sat in Leo the fall of Kings eh? One can only hope. Parliament here has been behaving like a bunch of children throwing tantrums and scandals abound. The latest outrage is Helen Clark's govt was caught by the auditor general. It seems they overspent taxpaper dollars by a considerable amount to get elected and have been told they (the labor party) must pay the money back - if donations are not received, individual MP's will have to cough up. Taxes here are incredibly high, (shrinking middle class here too) and a huge financial surplus has been found. The 3 phase idea was brought forward by Cliff Havener, for which I believe he should win a prize. He is another systems thinker. You can find articles about the idea here http://www.mtfreethinkers.org/people/Cliff_Havener.html He lists the title of his book there too......Keeping with the ideas theme, here is a link to my blog site. http://www.tagworld.com/captainbws What I haven't spoken of there yet is how a central idea or belief will gather around it a supporting set of ideas and synchronicities. So one must understand ideas are navigational in nature; or hehe, be careful what you ask for.....Probably irresponsible for me to leave out the navigational nature of questions too. The best known story illustrating this is about one village asking how to be sure people are dead when buried. They put spikes in the coffin lid. Another village asks how they can know if someone is ALIVE and attatch a bell to a string in the coffin....I think this story may actually be true.....So as not to be too off topic, Dane Rhudyar is a systems thinker too. It was his info convinced me the many correlates in astrology could be organized,understood in a systems way.....Happy snails, Tim Posted by: Tim on October 17, 2006 09:04 PMThanks Sally for the chart info for Hawaii. I've lived here for most of the last 20 years. I've tried to leave several times but always end up being drawn back. Now I see that the NNode in the state chart conjuncts my vertex, Venus conjuncts my Venus, Uranus two degrees from my Sun, the same for Mercury conjunct my Uranus, the Moon in the state chart trines my Saturn at 8Sag and Uranus at 8Leo, and the Sun in the state chart almost exactly conjuncts my Mars/Pluto conjunction at 29 Leo. I've always felt some deep connection here, especially here on the Big Island in Volcano. I saw the 1991 solar eclipse from the SW rift zone overlooking Halemaumau, the main caldera of Kilauea. That eclipse fell in my 4th house, and when I was looking out across the crater at the eclipse I was also looking directly toward where I am now living (I was on Oahu then). The quake on Sunday was certainly the strongest one I've felt though it did not seem that much stronger than a 5 point something that occurred up here in Volcano a couple of years ago. I thought "that's at least a five," but then I was thinking that it was likely centered up here near Kilauea. When I learned it was actually centered near the Kona airport, I knew that it had to be much bigger. I've been expecting something like this since I noticed Pluto sitting exact on the Ascendant here on the Big Island at the time of the March 29 eclipse. The weeks surrounding the eclipse where quite stormy, there was the dam breaking on Kauai that took seven lives, and the flooding on Oahu that caused the sewage overflow that shut down Waikiki beach for a few weeks. At the exact moment of the first quake (the 6.6) 7:07am Sunday, the Moon was at 11:28Leo, conjunct the state Mercury at 9:51Leo and, as you note, Uranus at 17:25Leo. It looks like the midpoint of transiting Moon and Saturn was exactly conjunct that Uranus. The Moon at the time of the quake was trine the eclipse of March 29 at 8:35Aries. The Moon in the state chart is 8:19Aries! Given the close connections between the eclipse and the state chart, I still think there may be something else coming around Dec 18 when the Sun conjuncts Pluto, just as Pluto returns to the exact point where it was at the time of the eclipse, sitting exact on the ascendant on the Big Island. Posted by: Timothy on October 17, 2006 09:04 PMHello, Timothy! Thanks so much for checking in, letting us know you are safe, and explaining the quake's astrological aspects so nicely. Take great care and (dare I say it?) stay grounded. Posted by: shylurker on October 17, 2006 09:19 PMThanks Shy . . . wishing you well too! This is just really, really weird... I've been checking out the state chart ever since you posted the info Sally... and get this... The new moon on Saturday at 28:40Lib conjoins the state Ascendant at 29:11Lib. That's interesting, I thought. So then I checked out what Maya wrote about this new moon: "This New Moon sits exactly on Black Hole Pele. Venus and Mars are there as well. Alex Miller-Mignone says about black holes: Black holes represent the principle of transubstantiation. They depict areas of susceptibility to dramatic, intense, sometimes violent, and usually unsuspected shifts in the status quo reality, shifts which leave their mark in rite-of-passage type situations. They further show points of energy influx or energy drain. Furthermore, Pele makes an explosive T-square with black holes at the ends of two other cardinal signs, Cancer and Aries. The U.S. Pluto at 28 Capricorn completes a volatile grand cardinal cross. Pele was an ancient Hawaiian goddess of volcanic fire. She personified the female power of destruction, and lived in a vast burrow beneath Mt. Kilauea, Hawaii’s most active volcano."
How does one figure out where the black holes are in one's chart? This is brand new and fascinating territory to me. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 17, 2006 10:17 PMGreat Blog, Tim. It has a real nice feel to it. I like the artwork very much and love your quote: "Without a dream your life will be about your problems. You will push the river. With a dream, you CREATE a RIVER, flowing with synchronicities." Where does it come from? It’s a good thing I’m striving for peace and harmony today or this article could get me highly annoyed. Had to do some deep breathing as it was anyway. Brought up some things I’d never thought of. May the Great Karmic Ogre bite them all in the butt! There – that’s as harsh as I plan to get today. How does this fit with the astrological picture?
By Chris Floyd 10/17/06 "Information Clearing House" -- -- Despite George W. Bush's ostentatious bucking up of the Iraqi government yesterday, it is very likely that there will indeed be an American-engineered coup ousting Maliki and installing some sort of strongman-led "national unity government" in Baghdad soon, probably before the end of the year. (Indeed, the very showiness of Bush's pledge of support – in a phone call supposedly initiated by Bush, then announced to the media – is a good indication of the decapitation to come. As JFK once told Gore Vidal: "When a politician says to you, 'Jack, if there's anything I can do for you, just let me know,' that means you're dead." And Maliki – installed in a Bush-backed internal party coup that toppled the previous prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, who was himself once a recipient of similar pledges of staunch White House support – is a dead man walking.) The chief reason why Maliki and his government will be ousted is not the hell-storm of death and violence that is now devouring the country. The fact that every new day sees a hundred or more mutilated bodies dumped on the nation's streets, and pitched battles between sectarian militias, and multiple deaths of American troops, and mass flights of anguished Iraqi civilians running in fear for their lives is not a matter of any urgent concern to Bush and his warmakers. Indeed, there is much evidence that one of the prime instigators of the wanton killing is a group created and long nurtured by the Bush Administration itself: the Facilities Protection Service, an army of uniformed freebooters nearly 150,000 strong. (I'll be writing more on this later.) Of course, the violence is a political headache for the Bushists, because it generates bad press; but they don't care about it – it has no intrinsic meaning or emotional impact on those who are already responsible for the deaths of more than half a million Iraqis and more than 2,700 Americans. No, what will likely bring on the coup is the December deadline for crafting a new oil law, which was imposed on Iraq by the International Monetary Fund, as part of the deal to write off some – but by no means all – of the nation's crushing debt. Given the current level of intense anti-American feeling in Iraq, and the overwhelming majority support among every sector of society for ending the occupation, and the overwhelming belief among Iraqis that the chief reason behind the invasion was to steal their oil, it is almost inconceivable that Maliki will be able to sign the new law, which essentially opens up Iraq's oil wealth to decades of despoliation by U.S. and European energy conglomerates. The Maliki government – already weak, incompetent and despised, as are all puppet regimes – could not possibly survive the political backlash that such a move would provoke. more http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15328.htm Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 17, 2006 10:20 PMCheney: ‘General Overall Situation’ In Iraq Is Going ‘Remarkably Well’ Rush Limbaugh interviewed Vice President Cheney on his show today. At one point, Limbaugh asked Cheney to respond to growing frustration over U.S. efforts in Iraq. Cheney acknowledged there is a “natural level of concern out there” because fighting didn’t end “instantaneously.” (Next month, the war will have lasted longer than U.S. fighting in World War II.) Cheney then pointed to various news items to paint a positive picture of conditions in Iraq and concluded, “If you look at the general overall situation, they’re doing remarkably well.” more http://thinkprogress.org/2006/10/17/cheney-rush/ Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 17, 2006 10:48 PMHas Cheney ever even been to Iraq? How does he know it's all going remarkably well? Does he get regular updates from Halliburton? Does he get to see things going well in secret so we'll be left in the dark thinking erroneously that everything is going to crap? Why doesn't he share his sources of information so we can feel optimistic too? You'ld think he didn't want us to see how good the Iraqis have it. Posted by: lunaoscura on October 17, 2006 10:59 PMLuna - did you read the post above 'why Bush smiles"? That explains it all beautifully. Cheney says things are going well because 'his investments' are doing well. He could care less about anything else. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 17, 2006 11:11 PMTim, Here are some photos of the "controlling people" signing the torture law. Did you say it's when the idea of the idea people gets destroyed, right? So those who drew up the Constitution were the idea people, our courts and universities and laws were the process people so this would make these people the controlling people. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x2412830 Posted by: lunaoscura on October 17, 2006 11:35 PMI just noticed something. Bush normally walks with his swagger winking at people, slapping them on the back, whispering to them behind his hand as he laughs, except when he's with Cheney. He always looks really stiff and uncomfortable with Darth. Of course, everyone looks stiff and uncomfortable with him, except Lynn. But I think that's because she's as evil as he is. They're soul mates. Posted by: lunaoscura on October 17, 2006 11:39 PMI imagine that most of you have already seen this, but I thought I'd post it just in case. Like, yeah, the US is going to pull out of Iraq - right!! A few years ago, I was in Florida for a month long tour. I stayed with a family of Republicans. The husband, in his late sixties or early seventies, said about the US being in Iraq "we're building big military bases over there and we're staying and we're going to show them a thing or two"... I felt sick, as you might imagine... http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0415-07.htm PatC (waving to you from Australia!) you said: "Well, the professional history of GWB is to raid, depleat, destroy, and move on.

In fact, I often play it on my car stereo as I drive and sing along with it at the top of my lungs when the urge strikes me. Sometimes I get a shiver right down my spine with the depth of intensity of Dylan's words. My favourite version is by Eddie Vedder (sigh) on Bob Dylan's 30th Anniversary cd set... here's a few lines...

Sickos... How long before we're shut down? Maybe we'll all get adjoining cells? Government Targets American Bloggers As Enemy Propagandists snip The White House has made it perfectly clear that it will target American citizens for propagating information harmful to the interests of the U.S. government and classify them as enemy combatants. This is codified in sub-section 27 of section 950v. of the Military Commissions Act of 2006. Bush's own strategy document for "winning the war on terror" identifies "conspiracy theorists," meaning anyone who exposes government corruption and lies about major domestic and world events, as "terrorists recruiters," and vows to eliminate their influence in society. In a speech given Monday, Homeland Security director Michael Chertoff identified the web as a "terror training camp," through which "disaffected people living in the United States" are developing "radical ideologies and potentially violent skills." Chertoff has pledged to dispatch Homeland Security agents to local police departments in order to aid in the apprehension of domestic terrorists who use the Internet as a political tool. How long before influential o-n-l-ine writers, bloggers and journalists like Greg Palast, who was charged with aiding the terrorists when filming "critical U.S. infrastructure," are arbitrarily gunned down on the street like in Russia or the newly "free" Iraq? more http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/october2006/171006enemypropagandists.htm Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 18, 2006 02:21 AMSpeaking of Condoleeza (and I've talked about her before here, but nothing much has happened - yet) - transiting Neptune is about to retrograde back over her Mars on Aquarius 17: A Watchdog Standing Guard Protecting His Master and His Possessions and her progressed Moon is currently on Gemini 6: Workmen Drilling for Oil - I think there's likely to be others who are 'undermining' her, trying to get her out in order to take her job. Her progressed Sun is on an interesting degree: Capricorn 15: A Children's Ward in a Hospital. Her progressed Mercury is on Capricorn 22: A General Revealing Nobility of Character by Accepting Defeat Gracefully... Her progressed Venus is also on Scorpio 30: The Halloween Tricksters degree. Soon, it will move into Sag and onto the Reunion of Army Comrades degree... perhaps she'll go nuts and end up in a nursing home with her old buddies all watching reruns of the movie Bora Bora or something. Anyone else get a buzz on her? Of course, with Neptune around, I could easily be barking up the wrong tree... I should add that her progressed Jupiter/Uranus conjunction has long been on Cancer 27: A Furious Storm in a Canyon Filled With Valuable Homes.

Thank you!! Posted by: Pat C on October 18, 2006 03:03 AMlunaoscura, yes, I believe the current administration are controllers. Dane Rhudyar points this out too (my paraphrase) when he says, when an idea loses energy, the organization it created falls apart. He even cites fascism as an example....In part, I believe the energy we use to give constitutional ideas was displaced by consumerism. HONORable ideas were displaced with greed, systematicly....Sorry, I can't remember which of Rhudyars books covers this, but maybe "Occult Preperation for a New Age"? Hope I got that title right....My responsibility to close with "Energy flows where attention goes." So, you get more of that which you resist. Bucky Fuller told us if you want people to think in a new way, provide them tools, the use of which leads to that thinking. More systems thinking there as paint for our creative pallet.........Nameste, Tim Posted by: Tim on October 18, 2006 03:16 AMNot only did I enjoy it, the quote tied right into a discussion my friend and I have been having for a while...the question of how to get into the flow where we love what we are doing, and stay there. The dream, the inspiration is the answer. You are a good writer, Tim...wise, too. Posted by: Sharon on October 18, 2006 03:16 AMSharon, thanks again....When 1st I read your question I thought you were asking where a river of synchronicities came from. I prepared a response. So as not to waste the writing, and as it continues to fit with your discussion and astrology, I'll publish it here: The highest concept I know is "Energy flows where attention goes". We must though, start with the idea everything is connected. This is astrological too. Otherwise how do the movements of planets correlate with anyones life? So, not to put too much, but enough emphasis on this; everything is connected from a blade of grass to the eccentric orbit of Pluto. The universe being mental in nature is another concept in play here. Let us say then, your attention is like a radio tuner. Your thoughts and the emotions they engender pull in the kind of music or experiences you tune to. Now to the good part. Let us say you have a creative project; value driven so karma won't get in the way. Knowing all energy flows where attention goes, you begin to look at each and every one of your experiences as somehow adding to your project. As you get better at this, soon even stressfull experiences are learned from and interpreted as additions. Afterall, all our experiences are neutral until we give them meaning. More and more you are seeing experiences through a "lens of opportunity". (quoting myself) When something stressful happens you do not resist it, you flow with it. Life and your project are meaningful. The universe keeps adding to your project and the seeming coincidences keep increasing until you have a river of synchronicities flowing to your project.....Astrology helps with this process by helping us know where our subconscious and creative drivers lie. It helps us identify our "1st best destiny". (Thank you Mr Spock) Posted by: Tim on October 18, 2006 03:34 AMCondi-ments The buzz here in the D.C. gay community is that Condi is a lesbian, has a blond girlfriend here, and in fact was an out lesbian at Stanford. I did a Google on the topic, and found quite a few references to that possibility. Maybe her and Mary Cheney should keep house together, (I know Mary has a partner :)) At any event that is the supposed big secret about Condi, and why I think she will fade from view soon. The Foley mess has freed the media to start delving into a lot more Repug closets. (It should be noted that Foley is a freak and being gay has nothing to do with it) However, as a lesbian it would suit me fine for Condi (and Mary) to stay off my turf anyway, who needs'em. I cannot fathom how anyone gay can be a repug much less a bushco supporter! Out, proud, and loud here in D.C. Ken Lay update A judge threw out his guilty verdict on the excuse that since he is dead he cannot appeal!!!!!! This means all the millions he ripped off cannot be seized and returned to the employees he screwd on their pension stocks. barf!!!! Mumsie and the Lay kids get to keep their lifestyle, (and if Kenny boy is alive and well in the tropics gets kept in pina coladas) My what a convenient death!!! His death also keeps him from being subpeoned by any Democrat investiation about what went on re advice to the Whitehouse on energy during the shrub's first non-term. Swamp Posted by: Swamp on October 18, 2006 04:33 AMSee! It was all worth it: Thanks, Tim, I enjoyed it. I like the "slogan" --Energy Flows where Attention Goes -- it's catchy and simple. There is something to be said for the simple, fun slogan, but in this case, it's far more meaningful and important than in TV commercials :-) Namaste (Jo, if you ever lurk here, I think of you, especially when Namaste comes to mind. I hope you and your "grands" are fine. I am sure whatever you are doing, it's interesting and even brilliant.) Posted by: Sharon on October 18, 2006 05:13 AMDoes anyone have the time that the shrub signed the despicable act? BTW, we've already done similar in Australia... Posted by: Lynda Hill on October 18, 2006 05:59 AMLynda - in answer to your question - this is from starlightnews.com From Gypsi’s post it looks like 9:47 AM EDT is when he signed the abomination. There are several sources now questioning the Congress’ complacency that the courts will rectify the unconstitutionality of this bill. They think it all hinges on Kennedy, and he is the one who asked Congress to make a law to clarify the issue. Well, they have. So he might let it be. Time will tell. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 18, 2006 06:04 AMOlbermann: The Day Habeas Corpus Died Today, 135 years to the day after the last American President (Ulysses S. Grant) suspended habeas corpus, President Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. At its worst, the legislation allows President Bush or Donald Rumsfeld to declare anyone — US citizen or not — an enemy combatant, lock them up and throw away the key without a chance to prove their innocence in a court of law. In other words, every thing the Founding Fathers fought the British empire to free themselves of was reversed and nullified with the stroke of a pen, all under the guise of the War on Terror. Video-WMP Video-QT Jonathan Turley joined Keith to talk about the law that Senator Feingold said would be seen as “a stain on our nation’s history.” Turley: “People have no idea how significant this is. Really a time of shame this is for the American system.—The strange thing is that we have become sort of constitutional couch potatoes. The Congress just gave the President despotic powers and you could hear the yawn across the country as people turned to Dancing With the Stars. It’s otherworldly..People clearly don’t realize what a fundamental change it is about who we are as a country. What happened today changed us. And I’m not too sure we’re gonna change back anytime soon.” http://www.crooksandliars.com/category/countdownkeith-olbermann/ Thanks, Shadowhawk... creeps! Off to calculate the chart... (is that a seditious act?) Posted by: Lynda Hill on October 18, 2006 06:39 AMLynda - Probably. I'd be very interested in hearing your interpretation. You know, way back in 1973 I got Dahe Rudhyar's book An Astrological Mandala at a bookstore. I iked it so much I called a friend and she went to the same store the same day and they told her they'd never heard of the book and never stocked it. I had a receipt from them and everything but they still said they didn't have the book. My copy is now very worn and dog eared but I still use it extensively. Posted by: Shadowhawk on October 18, 2006 07:05 AMThanks for the time, Shadowhawk - what a chart! And, I'd been speaking about Scorpio 22 in relation to Condi's chart and there it is, smack on the ascendant (well, less than one degree off). That degree is the Hunters Shooting Wild Ducks degree. Sheesh - I will point out that to people who don't use the Sabian Symbols, it looks like Jupiter in Scorpio on the ascendant. To me, it looks like Jupiter on the ascendant on the HUNTING DUCKS degree!! yowww. (The Symbols sure do add meat to a chart). Further, Mercury on Scorpio 19: A Parrot Listening and Then Speaking - this can be things repeated verbatim, or things repeated verbatim because one is told to say it. It's a very ambiguous degree for a torture act to be signed under. Neptune squaring that Mercury (and Jupiter) is on Aquarius 18: A Man Unmasked at a Masquerade - yeah, right, who really needs 'unmasking'? The Man UnMasked degree squaring the Parrot Repeating degree... Add into it Saturn on Leo 23: A Bareback Rider in a Circus Displays Her Skills... waterboarding, anyone? How about piling up people in a filthy pyramid and taking photographs? Oh good fun and lots of fun for everyone.... Interestingly, the Moon is smack on the MC on Virgo 4: Black and White Children Playing Happily Together (questions such as - 'do you have friends who wear turbens' come to mind). Venus is on Libra 22: A Child Giving Birds a Drink at a Fountain. Starvation, thirst, solitary anyone? The Sun is conjunct Mars... the Sun's degree is Libra 25: The Sight of an Autumn Life Brings to a Pilgrim the Meaning of Life and Death. Aside from the obvious connotations of 'life and death' in this degree, it speaks of people seeing things that others don't and this includes people being delusional. Mars is on Libra 26: An Eagle and a Large White Dove Turning Into Each Other... nice one minute, nasty the next? I feel that this also speaks of the dismay many people must feel that Americans should be seen as a fair, tolerant and loving people (with rights for all). Obviously, there's more to say about all this and my interps are flippant one liners - but that will do for the minute! This is a very interesting chart. Oh, must point out that Taurus 24 is on the descendant - The Indian Warrior Riding Fiercely With Human Scalps at His Belt... (this is also the degree of Israel and Palestine's Sun). Posted by: Lynda Hill on October 18, 2006 07:09 AMHi Shadowhawk Odd thing about that bill signing. Mars in the 11th house (of friends) is sexile Pluto in the 2nd house (of values) The sextile is setting up a yod with the 20 years cycle of Jupiter/Saturn Conj of 2000 and a yod with Saturn of the 2001 Inauguration Chart. That's phase one of this astrological signature. Phase 2 is Mars is squaring bush's Saturn in his 12th house and Pluto is inconjunct his natal Saturn. Phase 3 is Saturn is conjunct his Venus (just past and in his personal 1st house) Jupiter squares them both from the 12th (hidden house and the house of self-undoing because you don't see what you are doing) Ultimately this Torture Bill comes back to bite bush and perhaps his whole administration. It might be 2020 or just past, but it becomes a mistake for him and the US, for the Mars/Pluto aspect also squares and inconj the US Mercury. We don't know what on earth we are doing. Posted by: Sally on October 18, 2006 07:50 AMOMG Sally, 2020 is a long time to wait for justice. It won't bite Bush, he'll be long out of office then, getting millions to be on the lecture circuit, straining for just the right malaprop for his adoring audiences. This bill makes me ill and I can't understand why there is a collective yawn. Wait a minute, yes I can. Most people don't know **** about the constitution. Neither, I suspect, to most lawmakers. The new congress won't be enough to undo this damage. Posted by: Larry on October 18, 2006 08:45 AMRearranging the letters of 'Military Commissions Act' gives: "My! Not stoicism - racialism." These are the longest words/phrases that use some of the letters: Generated using Anagram Genius(tm) version 9 Gee, Maybe the land that was just purchased in Paraguay is not for Sonny or Poppy but for Kennyboy Lay. A gift from the dynasty. Posted by: bhakti on October 18, 2006 01:31 PM A sound premise Bhakti! Here's another nasty.............. http://www.smirkingchimp.com/thread/1875 It's not hard to figure out why they are using the term the 'collective yawn'. It's not like this is the first time despots have taken over with a compliant public. It's not even a 'yawn'. It's the profound belief that it can't happen here. And it's not that Bush can't try, but it is that most people think someone else will rise to stop it. Like their representatives, or Constitutional Lawyers, or the media. Yeah, the media which talking heads like Limbaugh keep insisting is 'liberal'. When they are only peripherally aware then they are easy to manipulate. By the time they get it it's way too late. And because of that people like us are mostly dismissed as too emotional, too conspiratorial, as defeatists and prone to extremism, or just not 'informed' enough. I get this kind of stuff from people who believe themselves to be highly informed, but who haven't discovered the internet. They watch the weekend talk shows and pride themselves in being politically aware. Posted by: lunaoscura on October 18, 2006 02:51 PM

I heard a reference last night by Jonathan Turley, Georgetown U. prof. on KO to America Yawning. Questioning why no protestors, why Americans aren't freaking out over Habeas Corpus's demise. I'm not so sure it is apathy. I'm much more circumspect about what I do, say and write for FEAR of this lawless regime. I have no desire to be water boarded, tortured, or participate in any of these newly allowed atrocities for not likeing or disagreeing with the mad men running our Nation. I also remember how the world and the USA'ians protested Bush's march to war with Iraq all for naught. Further MSM doesn't cover the protests so we really don't know they are happening elsewhere. Though there are people protesting in our neck of the woods all the time. Might be American's are paying more attention then MSM thinks. Which reminds me, Arnie's newly changed spots are changing back. If California Dems vote their party ticket, Arnold will lose, especially if the GOP base stays home out of embarassment for being taken as suckers.

KBR is the engineering and construction subsidiary of Halliburton (NYSE:HAL)....snip.............The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs. snip......I'll leave this to speculation.

Steve Judd 18 October Galaxy Song, by Eric Idle (of Monty Python) Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour, That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned, A sun that is the source of all our power. The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see Are moving at a million miles a day In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour, Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'. Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars. It's a hundred thousand light years side to side. It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick, But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide. We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point. We go 'round every two hundred million years, And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions In this amazing and expanding universe. The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know, Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is. So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth, And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth. Yesterday I wrote to Alex Miller-Mignone, the author of the book about black holes, to see if he could shed some light on how black hole Pele was named. This morning he wrote back and explained that he was the one who named the black holes but also that he had no idea black hole Pele was on Hawaii's Ascendant. Was he dialed in or what? We've had an unusual amount of vog (that's fog from the volcano--sulfuric acid gas etc.)for the last couple of weeks---some days its so thick you can't see Mauna Kea even though there isn't a cloud in the sky, and after all the aftershocks from the quake people are feeling somewhat gassed and jumpy. Then there's the rumours about N. Korea detonating their second test over the Pacific. I don't know, the new moon this Saturday on black hole Pele on Hawaii's ascendant . . . You got me to wondering about internment camps so I started digging on the net and lo and behold lookie at what I’ve found! http://www.issuesandalibis.org/campsc.html locations of internment camps! Scroll down on site to camp locations link. All over the country! This site has the history of ‘happy camps’ which is downright scary! We’ve been here done this before! We have a history that I didn’t know about and is as ugly as what we’re doing or getting ready to do now. Seems we just don’t learn.
The US$ bully is being used less and less until soon the US will have to trade exports instead of printed dollars for foreign goods.

Of course oil is the chief interest and so the US sets out to control or blackmail by threat of destruction. From "Dune", Usul speaking "A person who can destroy a thing can control a thing.". The rest of the world uses much more middle eastern oil than the US...I've brought this up because if I was the village bully and the village had had enough of me, I would soon turn to those closest to me ( Canada and Mexico) to increase my bond with them. Of course this is just my speculation on the reasons for the North American Union NAU talks. There are more nefarious theories on that. I just thought I'd bring this forward as I've not heard it theorized anywhere yet.....Juicey times ahead, Tim Posted by: Tim on October 18, 2006 08:23 PMTim....you wrote about the Halliburton camps: I'd say it is probably 'pograms' !!!!! We are becoming Stalinist Russia I must recommend the dynomite Oct/Nov Mountain Astrologer for numerous reasons, but the best was the continuation of the discussion about the retrograde Mars in the US chart.

Sidney Blumenthal Guardian The spectacle of hypocrisy, impunity and corruption engulfing the Republican Congress has its origins in its rise in 1994, extolled as the party's "revolution". First came the Republican Lenin - the speaker, Newt Gingrich - determined to annihilate his enemies and extirpate the "counter-culture". But after twice causing parts of the federal government to shut down and being cited for ethics violations, Gingrich was forced to resign, on the eve of Clinton's impeachment trial, by fellow Republicans. (They had private knowledge: Gingrich promptly abandoned his second wife for the mistress he had maintained on the House payroll for years). http://www.guardian.co.uk/print/0,,329604335-103677,00.html Posted by: wv on October 19, 2006 02:50 AM
Leader Guardian When cornered, Tony Blair has the knack of lending his arguments an air of ferocious nobility, conjuring up a persuasive illusion almost regardless of reality. It is a talent that has served him many times in office; such ingenious defiance helped make the case for the Iraq war in the first place. He tried the trick again yesterday in the Commons, when both David Cameron and Sir Menzies Campbell turned on him over the British military presence in Iraq. But the old skill seems to be fading. Though the rhetoric was there, the impact was not. Yesterday the prime minister sounded both loud and lost, staying the course only because his opponents lack an alternative strategy. He could not create enthusiasm for his own approach when he said, once again, that Britain must "stay until the job is done". http://www.guardian.co.uk/leaders/story/0,,1925405,00.html Posted by: wv on October 19, 2006 02:59 AM
New Laws and Machines May Spell Voting Chaos By IAN URBINA “Talk about panic,” said Freddy Oakley, the county’s top election official. “I’ve got gray-haired ladies as poll workers standing around looking stunned.” As dozens of states are enforcing new voter registration laws and switching to paperless electronic voting systems, officials across the country are bracing for an Election Day with long lines and heightened confusion, followed by an increase in the number of contested results. In Maryland, Mississippi and Pennsylvania, a shortage of technicians has vendors for new machines soliciting applications for technical support workers on job Web sites like Monster.com. Ms. Oakley, who is also facing a shortage, raided the computer science department at the University of California, Davis, hiring 60 graduate students as troubleshooters.

I have always thought that the stories of Democrats taking 30 to 60 seats was BS. The Repugs Maybe the Republicans 'winning' this election is the best that could happen. I think they haven't self-destructed enough yet. Too many things are coming out, and if they lose the majority then there will still be pedophiles and embezzlers and criminals in OUR Congress. From all the astrological aspects awaiting us in the next dozen years it seems there needs to be a real purge of corruption - on both sides of the aisle.

As of now, I don't think we'll see anything but more of the same for the next 15 to 20 years. And it's going to take 100 years to fix what the lunatics have broken.

Australian Treasurer Seeks Orderly Withdrawal From U.S. Dollar By John Garnaut 10/19/06 "SMH" -- -- TREASURER Peter Costello has called on East Asia's central bankers to "telegraph" their intentions to diversify out of American investments and ensure an orderly adjustment. Central banks in China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong have channelled immense foreign reserves into American government bonds, helping to prop up the US dollar and hold down American interest rates. Mr Costello said "the strategy had changed" and Chinese central bankers were now looking for alternative investments. "Of course you can have an orderly adjustment," he told reporters. "And what I would recommend is that these matters be telegraphed well in advance. I think we should begin preparing ourselves for it." Mr Costello said the "re-emergence" of China as the world's greatest economy "is not something to be feared". Asked if a muscular China would be a force for good, however, Mr Costello said it would be good for growth and stability. "With the growing economic strength you will see growing influence in diplomacy in the regional architecture, as you would expect. "I am sure it will be a force for economic development and I am sure that in partnership with other global powers, China wants to see a stable East Asian region." Earlier, in a speech to open the Australian National University's East Asian Bureau of Economic Research, Mr Costello said Australia's involvement in the region was broader than economics. "It is a key ingredient of who we are as a people," he said. "While Australia has its own unique culture, we are also a people who confidently enjoy the cultures of Asia, with seven of our top 10 overseas travel destinations being in the region." Ahead of next month's G20 meeting in Melbourne, Mr Costello called on regional leaders to reform their anachronistic financial systems.

It is like key acupuncture points in ancient Chinese medicine. Puncture one vital point and the whole anatomy is affected. If America ever goes to war with China, say, over Taiwan, then America should be prepared for the following "acupuncture points" in its anatomy to be "punctured". Each of the vital points can bring America to its knees with a minimum of effort.

How do you figure an astrological profile for a town? Or is it possible? My "home town" was settled around 1690+. It was originally called "Pot Town" due to the fact that pottery was made and sold here. (I might add, the pottery is quite pricey and collectible this day). Then some years later it was officialy named after a German Peter Strauss who "founded" it. What do I look for here? And on a weird note: This morning I was in a deep sleep when awakened by a female voice calling my name. Woke me right up! I thought it was my sister at the door! And in my half awake state, I arose to go let her in. Then I realized she had to be at work and couldn't be calling me. Geeze, Strange Days Indeed!

Republicans aren't going after their Democratic challengers much on Iraq, or the war on terror, or nuclear proliferation. Instead, members of President Bush's party are accusing their adversaries of being apologists for gay sex between adults and children. In Ohio, the Republican candidate for governor, Kenneth Blackwell, went on a tear against his Democratic challenger, Ted Strickland, in their concluding televised debate this week, accusing him of cosying up to an eccentric group called the North American Man Boy Love Association, or Nambla, and associating himself with a man convicted of exposing himself to young children. The attack almost certainly had more to do with Mr Strickland's double-digit lead in the polls than with any real substance. The convicted man, for example, was one of hundreds of campaign workers, not a close confidant of Mr Strickland's. But the smear by association with Nambla - a convoluted charge based on a congressional vote on which Mr Strickland abstained - does not appear to have been an accident, since Republican candidates have been trying it out all over the country. In California, a struggling Republican congressman called John Doolittle has argued that since his opponent, Charlie Brown, is a member of the American Civil Liberties Union, and since the ACLU has in the past defended Nambla's free-speech rights, he is tainted by association. "It is astounding," Mr Doolittle said in a recent press release, "that anyone could defend a group dedicated to aiding and abetting paedophiles." (Mr Doolittle failed to mention that he once acted as a character witness for a friend convicted of sexually assaulting six of his patients.) The Nambla charge has also been thrown at Nancy Pelosi, the San Francisco congresswoman who would become the next Speaker of the House if the Democrats win a majority on 7 November and who has thus become a multi-purpose pincushion for the Republicans. The maverick right-winger and erstwhile presidential candidate Pat Buchanan told a television interviewer this week that Ms Pelosi had been on gay pride parades where Nambla members were also present and had thus been "marching with paedophiles". The line of attack is remarkably brazen, given that the Republican Party is itself being rocked by a man-boy sex scandal. First, Florida congressman Mark Foley was forced to resign following the publication of predatory e-mails and instant messages he sent to teenage pages working on Capitol Hill. Then the Republican House leadership closed ranks over revelations that it had known about Mr Foley's habits for years and done nothing about them. Now a second Republican congressman, Jim Kolbe of Arizona, is under investigation for a camping trip he organised with a group of pages 10 years ago. And these are only the latest setbacks to hit a Republican Party already mired in corruption scandals and public disillusion on an array of issues, from Iraq to the aftermath of last year's Hurricane Katrina. The thinking, though, appears to be that if Democrats can be painted as paedophiles too, then the Foley scandal might lose some of its bite. As Mr Buchanan said of Ms Pelosi: "If she's been marching with paedophiles, is she credible standing up there saying, 'I'm shocked, shocked, that some Republican is after 17-year-old pages'?" There is a tendency in all US election campaigns to talk about sexual morality rather than weighty matters of state. But this yearseems to mark a new low. Nowhere has the tone gone lower than in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where a Republican candidate called Vernon Robinson has accused his opponent, incumbent congressman Brad Miller, of wanting to import homosexuals to the United States and spending tax-payer dollars on filthy scientific studies on sex. "Instead of spending money on cancer research," a recent campaign advert ran, "Brad Miller spent your money to study the masturbation habits of old men ... Brad Miller even spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia. Brad Miller pays for sex, but not for body armour for our troops." All this opprobrium stemmed from a single vote by Mr Miller on appropriations for the National Institutes of Health. In a campaign mailer, the unabashedly homophobic Mr Robinson even sought to drop hints questioning his adversary's sexuality, referring to him pointedly as "childless". Mr Miller has since pointed out that the reason he is childless is that his wife had a hysterectomy 20 years ago. Let the dirty campaigning begin. With less than three weeks to go before the US mid-term elections and an embattled Republican Party struggling to hold on to control of both the House and Senate, some of the country's more desperate candidates are resorting to desperate measures. Republicans aren't going after their Democratic challengers much on Iraq, or the war on terror, or nuclear proliferation. Instead, members of President Bush's party are accusing their adversaries of being apologists for gay sex between adults and children. In Ohio, the Republican candidate for governor, Kenneth Blackwell, went on a tear against his Democratic challenger, Ted Strickland, in their concluding televised debate this week, accusing him of cosying up to an eccentric group called the North American Man Boy Love Association, or Nambla, and associating himself with a man convicted of exposing himself to young children. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article1904969.ece Posted by: wv on October 20, 2006 01:50 AMWV....wow, could it get any more bizaarish? that is until you read some of the stuff from our country's past elections, say the 1800's...pretty wild and wooley stuff going on then, too....hmmm...must be a cycle. Posted by: judigem on October 20, 2006 03:16 AMWhooo-hooo! Claudia Dikinis just posted a dynamite analysis of the Military Commissions Act: I'm speechless (again!): Tim, I would be happy to summarize the gestalt of the US chart, only I need more time than my recent schedule will allow. A huge overlooked factor in the US chart is the Mars/Neptune Square from the 7th to the 9th with Mars ruling the 12th house of the US chart and Neptune being it's natural ruler. That aspect alone is fraught with massive contradictions. Plus the fact on a site such as this, there are people who read this site that are not that familiar with astrology and a little fearful of their own light and dark energies residing within, always concerned of being overtaken by the "dark." I would highly recommend Howard Sasportas book "The Gods of Change." We are of course the "wounder" and the "wounded" Our psychobabble, has attempted to define the human mind and set a standard of what is sane and what is insane, nomal/abnormal, even light/dark. The egotism associated with such defining standards is highly questionable. The fact is we truely are not defining "normal/abnormal," etc. We are defining societal standards that make the mass of people within that society comfortable, and of course anything outside of that is a problem. We really are walking on shakey ground. Wikitionary definition of "gestalt" "A collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic entities that creates a unified concept, configuration or pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts." The impact of the collective psychological and symbolic patterns on society or the world as a whole is of course enormous, but in order for the "impact" to be completely or even partially in the light, it is necessary for each individual to see and acknowledge their part in creating the darkness. Unfortunately we all too often, including me and everyone I've ever known take the Pontius Pilot stand "pass me the bowl so I may wash the blood off my hands," while denying they are doing so. There are pockets of people evolving toward a stronger "view" of the "light." There are individuals, such as yourself and others, who glimpse it and walk within that light with as sincere an understanding of the light as they possibly can. The ones who truely are walking their talk to the best of their ability. I saw a picture of a dalmation sniffing the ground under a tree throwing shadows on the same ground. You could not see the dog in relation to its wholeness, but the hint of the dog. (I will attach the page as a link) The picture was demonstrating "emergence" a key properity of gestalt theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_effect If we look at "emergence" what "whole" of humanity are we judging? Have we evolved or grown more toward the light since 1776? or the death of Christ, or when Buddah was born, we cannot look at the "whole" out of context to all prior events or out of context of the world, for the world makes up the collective and yet the evolution of the whole of man comes through the individual until there are enough like minded to make the whole, but we are once again back to the circle of light and dark and the need to acknowledge our piece of the dark and that takes a courage to face that. This is as simple an explanation I can do in the treatment of a very complicated subject because of the entities involved and the implicate and explicate order of the universe.

So deep, so esoteric and soooo, so in need of discussion these days. Posted by: Cybear on October 20, 2006 04:53 AM Sally, yes I see, the US is aggressively kind. Reminds me of Rome, which would teach you to build great arches then spear you....I like Howard's book on houses, so thanks for the tip....Today I just started looking through Jeffrey Green's book "Pluto the Soul's Evolution Through Relationships". This conversation should give it an added dimension. I recently had a departing talk with a client who loves metaphysics. Though he is quite intellectual (the Buddha path) he says he wants to follow the Jesus path of love. So our conversation was about how getting wounded allows one to sympathize and love others who act or have been wounded. Getting wounded increases one's ability to love....It is hard enough to see our dark side, the "projection" or experience of our wounds as having come from another rather than being our own sensitive bits, when in a relationship with another personlet alone when brought out by an institution spiralling (up?) between the dark and the light, chaos and order. (the USA)......Hehe, yes, what is normal? As a teenager in a bluecollar family I was considered abnormal with Ghandi as one of my heroes. Bart Star would have worked better I think......Sally, the only way I have been able to make some sense of which came 1st the chicken (the collective) or the egg (the individual) is understanding we each, as actors (ref Will Shakespear) are walking through the landscape of our own consciousness. An experiential fact for me since cosmic consciousness visited. The interplay betwixt that phenomena and fully playing on the stage, immersed in the now of it, committed to playing a part feels paradoxical to say the least, but one tends to accept more responsibility for ones experiences....My experience of astrology has been, it tends to take one toward objectivity,.to judge less and discern more; particularly when I see planetary archetypal behaviors as subconscious drivers. Extend that to the collective consciousness and one hopes there is a God directing traffic. I've not studied enough astrology to call myself a student of Dane Rhudyar's, but I believe, were he here, he could instruct us, in a detatched academic way, predjudices noted (can anyone know everything?), of the unfoldment process of the USA....Geez, now that I've opened my mouth, I suppose I'll have to read his writing on the USA.....Sally, thank you for the time you put into this posting. I've reread it and will again. I hope I've taken your points. I'm currently enjoying chronic fatigue syndrome and am a little brain fogged today....As usual, here's recognizing the spirit of God in you, Tim Posted by: Tim on October 20, 2006 06:06 AMSally PS: Here is a snippet from an interview with Peter Senge on a site I just discovered. dialogonleadership.org , sounds kewl, ya?..... http://www.dialogonleadership.org/interviewSenge.html ................ IV. Matter and Mind: There's Only One Issue in the World I had an interesting conversation a year ago with Mr. Nan, the Chinese Zen master who lives in Hong Kong. I have got a lot of his books around here. Showing Young made it possible for me to meet him. In China he's a very revered figure. He's considered an extraordinary scholar because of his integration of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. When I started talking with him about this, he had a very interesting way of putting it. I asked him if he thought that the industrial age was going to create such environmental problems that we would destroy ourselves and that we had to find a way to understand these problems and change industrial institutions. And he didn't completely agree with that. It wasn't the way he saw it. He saw it at a deeper level, and he said, "There's only one issue in the world. It's the reintegration of mind and matter." That's exactly what he said to me, the reintegration of mind and matter. I think that this kind of experience of life being predominant, being more powerful – not our mind being more powerful than life itself – is another way of saying that. It’s consistent with Bohm's theory of dialogue, and it’s why Bohm and Krishnamurti influenced each other so much. Most esoteric, spiritual traditions believe that there really is no fundamental distinction between consciousness and what is manifest. There is this continual interplay in the two of them. As Bohm used to say, "Thought creates the world." I think it’s that kind of capacity or awareness or reintegration that needs to be infused into our institutions. Posted by: Tim on October 20, 2006 06:27 AM"walking through the landscape of our own consciousness." Well said Tim and that is interestingly one of the first precepts in the re-integration of mind and matter. Have you read Ishmael? It's several years old but a wonderful little book. Ishmael is an ape with the true meaning of life. In reading that one realizes that there was a time when mind and matter were integrated. Mind, body and spirit, often times we associate the mind with spirit, only it is not. Spirit belongs not to the conscious (mind) but to the super-conscious and most time seemingly outside our grasp of understanding, however that is where we manifest our reality. With a true integration of mind and body it is possible to attune oneself to hearing or feeling or letting the spirit move you. We are doing it all the time, manifesting, we just don't understand the laws of manifesting reality. However I believe there to be signs that we are coming closer and closer. The Dranconic Chart of the USA (the chart the ancients identify as the soul of spirit chart of a person, and I say why not a nation) has a 6 degree Pisces Sun and a 20 degree Libra Moon. For the first time in US history both the Sun and Moon in the US natal chart by Solar Arc progression will conjunct the Sun/Moon positions of our soul or spirit as a nation on July 19, 2011. That would indicate an awakening to the true soul of America. In fact the Solar Arc of all the natal US planets will conjunct all the planets of the US Draconic chart. The Soul of a person or nation does not recognize the negative use of energy of the signs or planets. We will have the opportunity through 2011 and 2012 to express the highest good from this group of people in the US on a collective or spiritual level. The greatest danger would be a conscious impulse (we act consciously on our unconscious) toward a theocracy of some kind and I believe that impulse is guiding some of our more radical religious zealots in this country. But that's another story. Cybear, I will take your advice and make this a front page posting. However, I do not have the time to weave the whole thing together and anyway it all continues to unfold. I believe I will take these postings and anything anyone wants to add and place it in an article. What do you think? Posted by: Sally on October 20, 2006 07:21 AMBy the way the Solar Arc progression of the Natal USA chart, bringing the planets to a perfect conjunction of the US Soul chart planets could be interpreted as an alignment of "mind and matter." Posted by: Sally on October 20, 2006 07:30 AMOkay, what is the "soul chart" and how is it calculated? I would be grateful for a lesson in this subject. Posted by: clymela on October 20, 2006 01:17 PMClymela, I've written about the Draconic Chart several times. In my private practice I use the natal, pre-natal and draconic chart and synthesize the three. It truely opens the human psyche. The transits and progressions to the pre-natal is the most accurate predictive method I've found. I do teach the process, but I don't teach this on-line. I am attaching a link and if you search the web you will find some good articles on the subject. The Draconic chart is easy to calculate but the pre-natal is not and although I have taught this method to several astrologers the complicated synthesizing process keeps most of them from doing it. Anyway here's the link and check out Draconic Astrology on Google. http://www.mysticempowerment.com/draconic.htm Posted by: Sally on October 20, 2006 01:56 PM October 19, 2006 Run, Barack, Run Barack Obama should run for president. He should run first for the good of his party. It would demoralize the Democrats to go through a long primary season with the most exciting figure in the party looming off in the distance like some unapproachable dream. The next Democratic nominee should either be Barack Obama or should have the stature that would come from defeating Barack Obama. Second, he should run because of his age. Obama’s inexperience is his most obvious shortcoming. Over the next four years, the world could face a genocidal civil war in Iraq, a wave of nuclear proliferation, more Islamic extremism and a demagogues’ revolt against globalization. Do we really want a forty-something in the White House? And yet in his new book, “The Audacity of Hope,” Obama makes a strong counterargument. He notes that it’s time to move beyond the political style of the baby boom generation. This is a style, he said in an interview late Tuesday, that is highly moralistic and personal, dividing people between who is good and who is bad. http://select.nytimes.com/2006/10/19/opinion/19brooks.html?pagewanted=print Posted by: wv on October 20, 2006 05:03 PMOn Wednesday in my art class (techniques of the old masters) I was talking to the almost 20 year old girl sitting across from me (politics was up on discussion while we painted) and I said, the problem is that the world needs to go through a consciousness change and Jennifer said....oh that's so 60's! Well...it is time for the 60's to come back....and critical thinking needs to be part of it. Walking thru the landscape of our own consciousness would be a good start. Sally you wrote: However I believe there to be signs that we are coming closer and closer. I am sure seeing this myself. The underlying matrix of where we are going, to and fro.

Perhaps there really are no accidents.

By Ernest Partridge 10/19/06 "Information Clearing House" -- - The Bush administration can not allow the Democrats to take control of either house of Congress. And they are in a position to prevent it, regardless of the will of the American voters. These are the two controlling facts that make all other conditions of the coming election trivial in comparison, or even irrelevant. The failure of the media and even the Democratic Party to acknowledge and deal with these facts in no way diminishes their significance. Quite the contrary. And why can’t the Busheviks allow the loss of even one house of Congress to the Democrats? Such a loss might, of course, result in the halting and even some reversal of the Bush/GOP agenda. But that is the least of their concerns. Far more important would be the reestablishment of Congressional oversight -- of investigations, with the penalties of perjury and contempt of Congress, into vast array of crimes committed by the Bush administration. Among these crimes are bribery, the disappearance of billions of dollars in Iraq, war crimes, the disregard of acts of Congress, lying to Congress, and fraudulent elections. In a new, Democratic, House of Representatives, the incorruptible Henry Waxman, as the new Chair of the Government Affairs Committee, would doggedly examine and expose the corruption of the Bush Administration, and John Conyers, the Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, would, at long last, energetically investigate the issue of stolen elections. Accordingly, Bush and his partners in crime face far more than a curtailment of power; they face possible indictment, prosecution, and prison sentences for their crimes. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article15349.htm WV. this one is right on and goes well with the items I posted on Jerry Lewis (now there's a funny picture, I imagined him looking like the other Jerry Lewis) firing all the investigators (I think this had something to do with the Katrina fraud stuff) but nevertheless....Waxman would wax those goppers big time. Posted by: judigem on October 21, 2006 03:24 AMSally, thank you so much for the link and the clue to look around in the archives. I am looking forward to studying something really new to me. Posted by: clymela on October 21, 2006 04:15 AMSally, I think it would interesting to see where the article will go. It's a very complicated subject and could spin in many directions. judigem, careful what you wish for -- you'll probably get it sooner or later. Or, I should say sooner than later. The Uranus-Pluto Conjunction in Virgo in the 1960s (specifically 1965-1966, though the orb extends a few years both ways), the aspect most influential amidst the wave of upheaval and change during that decade, sees its' first major "test" or opening square, from 2012-2015. What have we learned and what have we accomplished since the 1960s? What were the most prevalent themes during that "seeding"? The Uranus-Pluto Square will present a challenging test of what we have learned, and what we can and effectively must do with that knowledge. Although the aspect will be most potent during the seven exact hits it will make from 2012-15, it will effectively be in orb from 2008 through 2018. Uranus will be in Aries, Pluto will be in Capricorn. The most succinct description I've heard of this one is "energy struggling against containment". Containment = Governments and Large Corporations entrenched and bent on maintaining the status quo at any cost, because the status quo literally means their survival. We see this side of the struggle gradually, if uneasily coming into focus now, as Pluto moves closer and closer to Capricorn. Last time Pluto transited Capricorn saw the American Revolution. Energy = Literally new forms of energy not already in widespread use, such as hydrogen, wind, solar (and possibly free energy?), but also many new revolutionary ideas and ways of going about moving forward. Last time Uranus transited Aries saw President Franklin Roosevelt, a Socialist/Far Left Democratic Congress, and the New Deal programs. When Uranus nears the end of Pisces in a few years, we should really be able to pick up on the big shift in this energy. But then again, Uranus is such a sudden force... Another way of looking at it is that Uranus in Aries will give us the chance to take new actions necessary to create and construct alternate institutions and delivery methods, even as Pluto in Capricorn challenges and tears down what presently exists. The question is, how quickly can we ourselves adapt to change and implement the alternative energies and solutions to the problems fostered by a dying power structure? Posted by: NEOBuckeye on October 21, 2006 10:18 AMI've heard the word "revolution" come up several times in conversations and discussions over the past week or so. People have threatened it here in Ohio, perhaps jokingly, if Ken Blackwell is arrogant and foolish enough to outright steal the gubernatorial race from Ted Strickland. Supposedly Blackwell-sympathising Republicans in Strickland's hometown have stooped so low as to challenge Strickland's residency (through a GOP-leaning DINO), and therefore his eligibility to participate as a candidate in the election. It hasn't gained much traction thus far, but as Blackwell grows even more desperate, resorting recently to outrageous charges of pedophilia and homosexuality against Strickland, it has become apparent that he wants the governorship so badly that he may very well try anything to get it. Why does a man desire a position of power so badly that he will literally say or do anything to get it? Certainly, Blackwell, DeWine and so many other Republican politicians running for their political careers now seem to be about something far more important than the interests of the people whom they should be representing. In fact, they are about themselves, and themselves alone. I don't know about a full scale revolution... yet, and I hope it never becomes necessary. Ohioans seem to be thoroughly disgusted with the direction (or lack thereof) in this state, and our country, and many seem to be finally waking up to the harsh reality that we've been betrayed. I'm getting the feeling that there would be some sort of upheaval/backlash against him if Blackwell finds a way to try and steal the governorship, as no one would believe at this point that he is worthy of it. Hopefully, enough people question the outcome of the Brown-DeWine Senate race as well. Posted by: NEOBuckeye on October 21, 2006 10:46 AMGood comments, NEO, and I hope you're right. Your post is on point with the article from Information Clearinghouse that WV posted above. I'm sure that most of us here, like me, who had a political "rude awakening" in the wake of the 2000 "election" hijinks are ready for the tipping point that exposes these crooks for what they are in time for us to correct things. And maybe we all saw it quicker than the population at large, but whatever, I just hope it's sooner rather than later. I'm sick of living under this cloud of despair. Posted by: Garry on October 21, 2006 01:19 PMNEO, Reminds me a bit of trolls. No matter what you do or say to their face they just keep on going, it's a job. They might hide out for a while but you know they are always there lurking and waiting to get a foot in the door and get back in and cozy up once again. Hey, it's a job.
http://www.benfrank.net/disinfo/ Posted by: bhakti on October 21, 2006 01:28 PMSharon, wv, and all, here you go. Posted by: Pat C on October 21, 2006 01:41 PMWell... regarding the oh so charming and truly righteous Obama, I was just thinking of him this evening here below the skies, when organizing some papers to folders I came across an older prediction from Kirael. That's right, it will be the first election contrived, propogated and finally won by a surge of independent belivers, who, by the way, will be quite different than your current independent types. Tis a platform to be based on truth, trust and a grand passion for WE the People like you have not seen since the founding fathers so innocently set the United States in motion. Many will reread the piece of paper called the Constitution with a new enthusiasm." Well that's quite understandable after dealing with this dark night of the soul buzz kill Bush and his ugly attempts to destroy it. It could very well be that blessed Barack Obama and he is a spiritulist. I've noticed the same thing deadacherry. Callers on the Republican line sound a little like democrats. The melding of the two should be interesting. Posted by: Pat C on October 21, 2006 02:35 PMWhat keeps going through my mind as I watch in horror and disgust at what is happening in the US is "shades of Nixon". There are so many similarities between the Bush and Nixon administration that it is frightening. The baby boomer generation fought back against the restrictions and lies of the Nixonians and hopefully the time will come when the people of this country become enraged enough to do the same. I wait with baited breath to see if the upcoming midterm election is the beginning of the tipping point (whether with this administration or the next) back towards the light.

By Peter Slevin WICHITA -- Paul Morrison, a career prosecutor who specializes in putting killers behind bars, has the bulletproof résumé and the rugged looks of a law-and-order Republican, which is what he was until last year. That was when he announced he would run for attorney general -- as a Democrat. He is now running neck-and-neck with Republican Phill Kline, an iconic social conservative who made headlines by seeking the names of abortion-clinic patients and vowing to defend science-teaching standards that challenge Darwinian evolution. What's more, Morrison is raising money faster than Kline and pulling more cash from Republicans than Democrats. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/18/AR2006101801679_pf.html
The Republican senators flinched, and in last week's so-called "compromise" chose Bush over the Constitution. In doing so, they turned their backs on a rule of law that stretches back over nearly eight centuries to an epic moment in 1215 on a meadow by the River Thames in the United Kingdom. The modern institution of civil and human rights, and particularly the writ of habeas corpus, began in June of 1215 when King John was forced by a group of feudal lords to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede. Two of the most critical parts of the Magna Carta were articles 38 and 39, which established the foundation for what is now known as "habeas corpus" laws (literally, "produce the body" from the Latin - meaning, broadly, "let this person go free or else give him a trial - you may not hold him forever with charging him with a crime"). The concept of habeas corpus in the Magna Carta led directly to the Fourth through Eighth Amendments of our Constitution, and hundreds of other federal and state due process provisions. http://www.commondreams.org/cgi-bin/print.cgi?file=/views06/0925-35.htm Happy New Moon to all AWs!

- Edward Epstein, Chronicle Washington Bureau
(10-21) 04:00 PDT Kokomo, Ind. -- When presidential election returns are reported every four years, Indiana is among the first states to reliably and resoundingly fall into the red Republican column. But beneath the presidential level, Indiana is a fiercely competitive state between Democrats and Republicans. And that's particularly relevant this year when a trifecta of House races in the state could hold the key to whether the GOP will keep majority control in the House or Democrats will eke out at least the net gain of 15 seats they need to seize the majority they lost in 1994. The fact that the three GOP-held seats are competitive fewer than three weeks before the Nov. 7 election shows how Republican prospects have soured in 2006. "No one would have put them on the map'' of battleground seats if Republicans weren't in such trouble, said Amy Walter, House race analyst for the Cook Political Report, a Washington-based political insiders' newsletter. "All three are going to be close, and all three are leaning toward the Democratic challengers,'' said William Blomquist, a political scientist at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/10/21/MNGJILTP111.DTL&type=printable Posted by: wv on October 21, 2006 04:50 PMThanks Neo...I will be careful of what I wish for....in fact, I am so careful of what I wish for that I don't wish for anything anymore! I just try to ride the waves.... Well, this new moon seems to have brought about some good deep thinking....I like it.... As for those of us from the 60's, well....the dark forces managed to destroy or at least suppress us since 1968...so after 42 years, 2010, perhaps the tide will turn again....and consciousness change (or integration of hearts and minds) will return... Posted by: judigem on October 21, 2006 05:08 PMI think we need to be concentrating on the 2006 elections and not pushing a preferred candidate for 2008! We don't even know what's going to happen if the Democrats get a majority, and if the Republicans steal another election then it's nuts to be talking about anything after that since it's already pre-determined that the Republicans will steal all the elections! That is, if they don't just do away with elections altogether! Posted by: lunaoscura on October 21, 2006 05:57 PMIs the Democratic Party prepared to stop election fraud? We'll talk, among others to RadioNation's STEVE ROSENFELD, co author of a brand-new book What Happened in Ohio? A Documentary Record of Theft and Fraud in the 2004 Election. (New Press, 2006.) http://lauraflanders-com.c.topica.com/maafhEEabt9DtbRRvT4e/ Saturdays & Sundays, 7-10pm ET on Air America Radio Posted by: Pat C on October 21, 2006 06:15 PMLuna, yeh....my sense is that roverster/bush know they've got the elections covered. I think there will be MUCH anger and chaos coming, but I think it means 2008 will be secured. I was quite surprised by the outpouring in the SF Chronicle letters to the editor for two things...one, they ENDORSED Arnold for gov (Arnie just plunked 3.5 mill of his own dough into his campaign, despite the fact that he is ahead‚....and the letters started coming! wow....inundated with 'what the hell do you think you are doing endorsing Arnold, when you have cosistently reported on Angelides being such a loser; this isn't reporting, it is king making by your paper (my words!)' and then the editors endorsed the dem opponent running against 7 time incumbant the (slimeball) CA Rep.Richard Pombo who has had a 14 year career of looting....and the letters came in saying YEH!!!you got it right...one man in his 80's put off getting cancer treatment until Nov 7 so he could work on the Dem opponent (McNerney) campaign, and another one was from a conserv. republican who won't vote for Pombo again....pretty dyno-mite.... But I still think the machines make this a moot point. And on top of that, the Supremes have said that Arizona can require photo ID to have people vote....geebus fricking yikes, this was a big problem in Arizona since the 1950's when the GOP in Ohio sent staff down to AZ and set up tables in front of voting places in the poorer sections of town (Phoenix) and intimidated voters. Our former, now dead, chief justice of the supremes Rehnquist was one of the staff who made his name doing that very thing. Posted by: judigem on October 21, 2006 06:29 PMhttp://www.chicas-tirando.modelos-sexo.com Hi all; I get the Washington Post everyday, it is interesting to see how much more in depth they go on political coverage, (try www.washingtonpost.com by the way if you are in another state, lots of good stuff and op ed pieces). One thing that has me nervous is the last few days'articles about Karl Rove and how smug he is that the repugs will lose neither house nor senate. Either the fix is in, (what a surprise), or this is just his bravado. He makes my skin crawl. He is 55, but looks like a large, demented baby. The Post talked today about how if the repugs lose either house or senate, or both, Rove's "legacy/currecny" will be very devalued. God I hope is worth about 2 cents the day after election day. Still that smarmy smile has me vey worried, and suddenly races where the Dem was reportedly well ahead show the repug pulling up close, (like VA for example). It takes a reportedly "close" election for them to get away with voter fraud, and I think they are starting to throw out the bogus poll numbers to further that end. and heeeeeeeeeeere we go the Retrograde! Maybe it will back fire on the repugs this time!!
