Lying is an occupation. /Used by all who mean to rise; / Politicians owe their station but to well concerted lies. (Letitia Pilkington – 1754)
A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. (Nightclub act 1923)
In the early days of our Republic, the questions asked of each office seeker were “Is he honest? Is he capable? Is he faithful to the constitution?” In our present diseased state, the one question asked of an office seeker is, “Is he faithful to the party?” (Judith Anderson in “Outspoken Women” 1984)
Red Rover is a childhood game, consisting of two teams and each team would try to capture someone from the other and draw a circle so tight around their prisoner the offended team could not pry the prisoner(s) loose. If the circle was weakened or broken, all of course, was lost.
There has been a very tight circle around the built up lies which started this malevolent war of torture, death and destruction. Oh Red Rover, Red Rover! Like children one team has had their circle weakened. Someone, Joe Wilson, caused a little thread to come loose in this administration’s tightly woven tapestry and looks like Karl Rove might have tried to pull the thread out and now the whole outfit is in danger of falling apart. Ashes, Ashes we all fall down.
It’s hard to stay away from childhood themes when trying to write about this administration, indeed, the same can be said of today’s entire political system, and the people duped by them. We have “George Bush and the Half Blood Prince” trying to turn “Hogwarts” into an evil empire.
In this instance the “Half-Blood Prince” (aka Karl Rove) is under fire for possibly committing perjury or lying to the FBI (that’s what sent Martha Stewart to prison)
http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0507/S00227.htm and if he is able to wiggle out of this on legal technicalities, the ethical question remains. What was anyone in this Administration doing talking to any reporter and pointing to anybody in the CIA for the purpose of publication? I am going to give Mr. Rove the benefit of the doubt and say he didn’t know she was a covert CIA agent. Is it possible that Mr. Rove, a man of reputed intelligence and power, is so dumb that he wouldn’t check to see what Mrs. Wilson’s job was before releasing or even chatting about her to reporters. Could I call a reporter and say “guess who Joe Wilson’s wife is and guess what she does?” Would they believe me? No, because I haven’t any power, but our “Half-Blood Prince” has power and even by “chatting” with a reporter regarding a security agent or any agent, is a gross, unethical, corrupt misuse of that power and authority he seems to enjoy, much as pigs enjoy the trough.
This whole thing is far more than Karl Rove, and his happy bulldog Novak, and it should absolutely sicken all of us, sicken and enrage. Judith Miller is not protecting a source, she is protecting a criminal. We may never know who that criminal might be as she serves out her time, but there are many questions Ms. Miller should be answering about her activities regarding these allegations. I do not have Judith Miller’s BD, I only know she was born in Jan. 1948 in New York and Jan. of '48 has some interesting aspects with today's cosmic movement. I do know for a reporter she doesn’t seem to have a good grasp on the 1st amendment and what can be protected and what cannot.
This Lego (many pieces) like scandal is just getting truly warmed up, I am waiting for what this administration will do or create to shift the emphasis off the treasonous activities of his "staff" and back to fear and the “daddy” savior role. But times, they are ‘a’ changin’ even for this Administration.
It's little things that brings down big things. Tape recordings, a stain on a blue dress, little things add so much to a picture. Scott McClellan, two years ago, reassuring emphatically that Rove had nothing to do with the outing of Valerie Plame, “move along, move along,” today he can't talk about it all. Oh Scottie, you should have bought stock in kleenex when you told that lie, you would now have enough to wipe the sweat from your brow today.
The April 8th Eclipse at 19 Aries, opposed Karl Rove's Neptune and squared his Mercury and possibly squared his moon (No BT yet) Cooper’s emails show Rove first calling him on July 11, 2003 at 11:07 am and the Sun was at 19 degrees Cancer (opposing his Mercury, possibly conj. his Moon and squared his Neptune) Mars went over 18/19 degrees Aries as this thing was heating up over the last week and so much started spilling out and the press corps going ballistic on Scottie. The progressed Moon of the Eclipse chart is now at 22 degrees on the NN of the eclipse chart and T Mars is right there with them, burning guilt and anger into the minds of the people (the Moon)
As a side note the Progressed Sun from the 1st contact to cooper on 7/11/03 is at 20 Cancer, the same degree at the April 8th Eclipse chart, and the email progressed moon is at 18 Capricorn, just past Rove's natal Mercury. I don't know the outcome, but I do know from this that Rove is having a very bad time of it right now.
I have been hammering on Saturn for over a year and the strange coincidences of late degree Cardinal Signs of the major GOP leaders brought together by this administration. It looked as if they were all brought together in order to be brought down by the Karmic Kop of the Universe. The tentacles of this scandal do reach far and wide into the DOD, DOJ, Iraq, and the White House.
Justin Raimondo wrote quite eloquently and he effectively tied all the scandals together.
“Last year, I wrote that the burgeoning scandals besetting this administration over the pattern of misreported intelligence and deliberate deception that marked our path to war with Iraq should all be consolidated into a single super-scandal, "Neocon-gate." These various scandals – Chalabi-gate, Plame-gate, Niger uranium-gate – all involve the same group of people: the neoconservative cabal embedded in the civilian leadership of the Pentagon. I even opined that some of them might one day be "wearing one of those cute little orange jumpsuits and making some tattooed bruiser named Butch very happy." Little did I know at the time that the charge would be espionage, but I can't say that I'm all that surprised…”

What could turn out to be the unraveling key is in the first Cooper email at Time Magazine, July 11, 2003 at 11:07am. The Ascendant was at 23 Virgo and the Midheaven fell at 22 Gemini. (matching exactly the Ascendant and MH of the 2003 STOU address) Pluto is applying pressure to that Mutable axis right now (as well as the Venus of the STOU Address in 2003 and Venus rules the Ascendant of both Inaugural charts) will go stationary direct on 21 degrees Sagittarius in late August and spend a couple of months moving past 21/22/23 degrees Mutable (those mutable degrees also relate to the US Mars/Neptune degrees. Just as we have felt the Universe wasn’t acting fast enough, they will feel it’s been zooming over them, and they might not have seen the freight train coming after all their thuggish tactics have been working for quite a long time, how could they see it coming.
There are at least 44 charts of events, people, progressions, and Solar Returns to delineate for this stew pot, and far too many to try and criss cross in an article, but they all point to the piper being paid over the next two years. Just the Plamegate alone tips the balance of power, but the bottom line of the Plamegate is Saturn/Moon/NN congregating together by progressions. With Saturn and the Moon kissing the NN of the 2005 April Solar Eclipse ensures that Rove as a liar and Bush refusal to rid his administration of traitors will stay with the American people. This won’t change the minds of any of the radical right, but it will tip those on the fence. The reporters will never again believe Scott McClelland or George Bush. So don’t worry whether Rove actually gets a sentence of treason (which he deserves) because the damage is done and it cannot and will not be undone.
There will be more sorting out, much more and the “sorters” will be Uranus, Pluto and Saturn. The side stories should keep everyone entertained while the big stories keep shifting the sands of this administration. Keep an eye on the Delay scandal and the Randy “Duke” Cunningham scandal (this is supported by MZM and its former president Mr. Wade, the Franklin Scandal (and his boss Feith, who has resigned and is bad mouthing the administration.)
Mercury is about to go Retrograde and this administration never does well on Mercury Retrogrades.
It’s hard to keep faith while this country and several others are being systematically destroyed, but in 1760 when Pluto first hit the Galactic Center at 26 Sagittarius, the Sons of Liberty began to secretly form and their intention was revolt over the Stamp Act from poor insane King George. At that time and right until the 1775 Revolution started, this country was split right down the middle and as John Adams Biography reminded me, thousands fled back to Europe or Canada because they did not support the Continental Congress, thousands supported King George and thousands translate into millions today supporting our own King George.
Today’s Galactic Shift begins next year. It isn’t this administration that needs to be removed, they are just one tentacle on the Hydra; it’s the Hydra that needs to be removed. The Revolution wasn’t about smashing King George, it was about smashing England’s hold on this country and treating the people like serfs. England’s policies, at that time, were oppressive and limiting, not much different than our government's policies today. It’s been over a hundred years since leaders tried to be true to the Constitution. We are back at the front door of this country, and with King George and again we are trying to be a true Republic.
I have said a million times in articles and posts, “we, the people, are the leaders we have been looking for.” We must pick what we want, we must think about others in our “picking.” We must speak out and move beyond fear. When our pain becomes worse than our fear we will speak out with a loud voice. We aren’t just in the middle of chaos, we are in the middle of “creative chaos,” where nothing matches but everything will fit perfectly.
PS The Patriots of 1760 who began the road toward a United States, with their fits and starts, their in fighting and disagreements, eventually carved out something grand that has stood for over 200 years, and most of them lived to see it come to pass. They suffered and endured because they had a vision bigger than themselves, it was the worst of times and the best of times and we've grown over their sacrifices. Every single man who signed the Declaration of Independence knew it was a death warrent if caught or if they lost, because they were traitors to the Crown. Their lives have been an inspiration to everyone for over those 200 years and never more so than now.
