Noam Chomsky's BBC interview of Nov 17

BBC News broadcast an interview on Nov 17 with linguist and government critic Noam Chomsky who is calling the war in Afghanistan immoral.

As a mother I ask you: aren't they all? Even if a war is begun with 'moral justification' (and ours never are anymore, are they? if they ever were), war contains horrors such as we hear from our returning soldiers, if we listen and if they can mention them without losing their minds or committing suicide.

And that's not counting what our techno-bombing victims experience - I refer mainly to the women and children who are so cynically put in harm's way by both sides. Now that's Evil.

So I'm posting a link to Professor Chomsky's interview because there are multiple YouTube videos to cover what he has to say. Now does President Obama listen to him, by any chance?

Some Basic Astrology Describes Our Current Condition

America on the downside, Republican Party on the downside - and both have had recent Secondary Progressed Full Moons when a culmination is reached and one must lower one's sights, not escalate them into war and more war - especially with America's Mars, the god of war and indicator of the military - now retrograde by progression!

This is a duh and double-duh situation being described through the lens of Astrology: our nation has to come to terms with the fact that it is our own nation and citizens that we should be making the most directed efforts for (Mars) while counting our blessings for what little our politicians have yet to ruin, spoil, and steal.

When anyone or any entity is in the Full Moon phase and waning, it marks a Save What's Left phase, not an expansion stage, and the longer it takes us to act maturely about the reality of our true condition, the worse our nation's landing will be.

Sorry, but there it is.

Now I'm off to watch V. Have you noticed the abundance of sci-fi entertainment on TV and in films lately? Why, you'd think they were trying to propagandize us or sumthin'!

Iraq War: Solar Arc Directions for 8.31.07





Bush is gets 'mounting reports of Iraq woes' and this reluctant astrologer progresses the woeful Iraq War chart (Mar 20, 2003, 6:35 am BAT, Baghdad) to today at noon using the Solar Arc method--everything moved forward: 1 degree = 1 year.

(NPR is reporting that the Joints Chief of Staff have never been enamoured of the "surge." Well, that's good to know now--esp if you have a loved one as part of this political move/spawn of the devil.) Bush's meeting at the Pentagon today marks the beginning of a two-week "marathon" of reports and meetings on Iraq. They yap while thousands of people die.

Yep, the chickenhawks have broken our military and something's going to have to be done soon--US Mars Rx by progression--for the next 80 years. This is serious, folks. And the GOPers are joining in the chorus to bring troops home--in time for the 2008 election, natch.

Of course, it's always theater with politicians, so who knows if they're serious? Talk is cheap, except in Washington where it may be the most expensive of all.

Reading the chart: Solar Arc = SA, tr = transit (current position), n = natal (birth), "to" = conjunction, as in "SA MC to n Mars" which is in process of happening now.

Click to enlarge: inner chart is the war chart, outer chart--and highlighted in yellow--are the Solar Arc Directions. In blue are a few current transits such as the 10th house plutocratic Pluto/Chiron (class warfare; oppression; exploitation; racism) mixing it up with Sacred Warrior, Mars/Chiron. Describes the conflict well, imho.

First let's see what we get for our bucks with SA MC to Mars: responsibility grows; change of status.

SA MC degree's Sabian Symbol: "10Cap"..."An albatross feeding from the hand of a sailor." Ya think? Wonder who's the albatross? There are so many of them it'd be difficult to choose one--unless it's Maliki. And the contractors and weapons dealers who've disappeared millions of US taxpayers' money while arming our enemies. If that's not treason, guess I don't know what is.

The whole place seems to be a big pile of crooks and murderers with innocents caught in the middle--and I can't forget that the war began with Jupiter the General Retrograde--a bottomless pit in the money department, I typed to no one in particular. Has it proved to be otherwise? 2003's Jupiter is conjunct Bush's n ASC (his nibs himself), and is also conj his and the Republican Party's n Mercury (which is also Gonzales' n Mercury. Guess they all think alike.)

On the 2003 chart, I've taken the liberty of drawing a kite pattern with Saturn in Gemini as the tail ruddering the plot along. 2007's SA Saturn now at "28Gem", the degree of "Bankruptcy." Nice, Cheney, Thanks (she typed contemptuously.)

2007's North Node (NN), the path or destiny, is at "6Gem": "Drilling for oil"...no surprise there. NN was heading that way all along. Cheney thought it would be easier.

SA Moon 27Lib31 is now being affected by tr Saturn/Pluto midpoint...

Saturn/Pluto = Moon: renunciation; giving up giving.

And that may be all we can do, m'peops. Or all we should do.

The tactic of regrouping forces is no shame--the jihadists do it all the time with much success. But irrationally hitting your head (esp when it's someone else's, George) against a brick wall is more than an shame. It's a tragedy...brought to you by Washington politicians of all persuasions.

And I blame them all.

So is Fort Knox empty?

Years ago in Slate's The Fray, I asked that question ad nauseum and was laughed at and ridiculed with hearty alacrity. "America is too rich to go bankrupt, you daft peacely2," the jingos typed back at me.

August 9, 2007...let's ask Paul Craig Roberts how that's goin':


Uncle Sam, Your Banker Will See You Now

Paul Craig Roberts

Early this morning China let the idiots in Washington, and on Wall Street, know that it has them by the short hairs. Two senior spokesmen for the Chinese government observed that China's considerable holdings of US dollars and Treasury bonds "contributes a great deal to maintaining the position of the dollar as a reserve currency."

Uncle Sam, Your Banker Will See You Now puts me in mind of Bush's 'speech' this morning just before Shrub cut and run to Kennebunkport to see Mama.

His nibs had his Mercury (speech; communications; announcements; thought processes) Return to its natal degree 9Leo51+ today but I like to use the rounding-down method for the Sabian Symbol for this one:

"9Leo": "Glass blowers shape with their breath glowing forms"...DEFTNESS...

pos: an effectiveness of personal participation in everyday existence;

neg/shadow side: willful or unintelligent distortion of reality. (Ya think? Me too. I recorded his "speech" because I had to motor and will review it later if I can manage.)

This is also the degree for Gonzo's natal Mercury and that of the Republican Party. Quite a pile-up, si?

Okay, but the interesting thing to me is that as Bernanke and the Fed were flooding the market with more liquidity (a word Bush mentioned this morning), the Moon 5Can08 was at the "Gamebirds feathering their nests" degree conjunct America's natal Jupiter (R-Party; gurus; rich men) and Mars 1Gem32 was at the descriptive "Santa Claus filling stockings furtively."

Somehow I'm sure ole Santa did. Stockings hung with care--in Germany, perhaps?

Meanwhile China yanked our drunken sailors' chains and France showed some feisty lack of confidence thanks to our terminally ill subprime lending market. No one wants it to get out how many bad loans they've made or are still holding.

Yep! the camel's nose has been under the tent for decades now and the bankrupting of America is going well for the neocon-lovin', war-mongerin', pocket-linin', papal-ring-kissin' crooks and swindlers who infest the nation's seats of power and corruption. And the tent is made-in-China, Japan, and any place but here.

Gold has been discovered in Haiti, rumor says. Will wonders never?

Guess the Sheeple will be so relieved to unionize with Canada and Mexico when it turns out we have no other choice, thanks to someone's bad management and fuzzy math--which I assert once again has been done according to plan in order to undermine national sovereignity all over the globe, not just in the USA.

Duhhh....a global economy will mean global collapse--who could disagree? So many things are collapsing these days, aren't they? Bush said today that the global economy is "strong"--one of the Martian's favorite words.


Plus, near the end of today's "press conference" Bush's natal Jupiter, old moneybags himself, was rising and bringing along the US Sec Progr'd (SP) Mars so take your pick--round it up or round it down...

"18Lib": "Two men placed under arrest"...CONSEQUENCE...

pos: a heightened challenge to every special talent (Shrub's talent is "catapultin' the propaganda"...his job, he says; la bouche, the mouthpiece);

neg/shadow side: total inappropriateness of impulse and act.

He's good at that. So was his performance this morning a futile attempt to put out financial fires--or to stoke them? He says Dems are overspending? Have all the mirrors been removed from the White House??? Get that narcissist a clear pond to gaze into!

Then, if you prefer, there's "19Lib"..."A gang of robbers in hiding"...DIVERGENCE...

pos: alertness to every threat against a true individuality;

neg/shadow side: abnormal mistrust of everything worthwhile.


Sitting upon Bush's natal Jupiter and the US SP Mars lately has been the transiting Jupiter/Saturn midpoint (thanks to the societal pair's tendency to Rx), so we've been seeing:

Jupiter/Saturn = sec Mars: discontent; a lack of endurance or tenaciousness; feeling unrewarded and making a change; an inconstant will; separation; not wanting to toe the line.

(A national Mars = the military; police force; men between appr 25-35, etc. Jingos can serve in Iraq, too.)

This means that Jup/Saturn was rising so there's:

Jup/Saturn = ASC: the tactician; separation; a change of occupation (!) or of residence (I'll rent the U-Haul if someone will pack his suitcase.)

So what was rising and conjuncting US SP Mars? Propagandistic
Mercury/Pluto midpoint...

Mercury/Pluto = US SP Mars: the ability to master great tasks; sharp criticism; the desire to attack others; a blackmailer (and how Washington function without blackmailers?)

Mercury/Pluto = ASC: ability to exercise influence upon those in the environment; intellectual domination.

Therefore, Mercury/Pluto = Bush's n Jupiter: the art of persuasion; recognition by the masses; persuasion brings success; publicity; a crook or a swindler.

Well that's about all the arranging and designing of Shrubbery I can stand for this evening. It'll soon be 8:30 pm and even a 30Rock rerun has to be better than this merde.

Besides--I heart Alec Baldwin's acting and wish he wouldn't leave the show!
