Fake US unemployment numbers - Max Weiser video

Max Keiser has much to say about fake unemployment numbers from the US government as the propaganda relates to the US/World econo-crisis.

This video is a worthwhile 9mins+, so please see what you think. It does seem that metals are the thing to grasp and hold!

Yes, the USA is in the crapper thanks to neocon cons and their enabling shills...and the secret society robots who shilled before.

Where's some of that goo-o-o-d old "compassionate conservatism" when you need an effective -ism to ruin your family and economic life?

Oh yeah. We tried that.

And now the American War Machine is stuck like glue in the Middle East where our boots on the sand are decidedly unwelcome, no matter what we do or say. But hey, the 5-pointed Pentagon is the US' main employer, and when millions are out of jobs for long enough, they must 'join up' at some point - if they're young enough and are breathing. And thus the ruse passes on to another generation of Americans who can't believe that their government would manipulate a noble sense of patriotism into being used to make patriotic citizens into war fodder and oil protectors.

So will all GOP-ers please hush now?

Keep your wacked-out crazy on the down low, okay? Stop telling lies, period (you too, Democrats.) It's way too late in any game to skid by on half-truths, provarications, and callously thought up talking points on behalf of narrow factions.

Now this is only another Flower Power Generation-er speaking: They did it to us and the world despised us. Now it's your turn and you've fallen for the same tired rhetorical devices promoted by political thespians with prominent thumbs pointing at us.

Please...Awaken and Get Up!

Perseid meteors hide from a Lightening-Lit Moon - Aug 12, 2009

In evening, then the early morning of August 12, 2009, the Perseid meteor shower peaked but we were prevented from seeing nary a glimmer of them. What we did see near Atlanta, Georgia, was a powerful display of cloud-to-ground lightening which occasionally lit up an edge of the Moon and gave the near-night sky a hyper-real quality of great beauty.

The photgrapher's use of black and white captures the almost-eery effect more closely than color would have done, I think. Any thoughts?

Plus, this celestial event of grandeur was the true kind of awesome, not the stage-crafted kind we hear so much about over and over until the term is meaningless and opinion-numbing.

Checking the Astrology chart to see where the Moon glowed in the zodiac when this photo was taken, Earth's lantern glowed at '29Aries'..."A Celestial Choir Singing."

And was Luna reflecting an archetype of the asteroid persuasion during her photo op, by chance?

Yes.

Perseids peak 8.12.09 and warriors abound

Space Weather News for August 11, 2009

The Perseid meteor shower is about to peak. The show begins after sunset on Tuesday, August 11, and continues until the sun rises on Wednesday, August 12. A time of particular interest is 0800-0900 GMT (1-2 am PDT) on the 12. That's when Earth is expected to pass through a denser-than-usual filament of dust from Perseid parent Comet Swift-Tuttle.

Forecasters are unsure what will happen, but some have speculated that meteor rates could surge as high as 200 per hour. Bright moonlight will blot out many of those Perseids, but even a fraction of 200 is a good show.

Visit SpaceWeather.com for full coverage of the Perseids.

And see my previous post for another other celestial event on August 12: America's Mars Return 2009.

As you remember, the constellation Perseus is called, The Prince. The brightest star in Perseus is Mirfak (Alpha Perseus); keywords: young male energy. Perseus is the young warrior proud of his strength. Listening to the wisdom of others or being cautious isn't part of the script for Perseus who may overestimate his physical prowess.

Beta Perseus is none other than the raging star, Algol; keywords: intense female passion. Algol isn't always a negative influence, but an unconscious compulsion to take revenge is mankind's usual application of its energy when connected to planets in a chart.

Algol has a partner, another difficult star - a cluster actually - in Perseus, Capulus; keywords: male kundalini energy. Ruthlessness and savagery are often seen with this faint fellow who nevertheless is very action-oriented.

(On one level, these currently emphasized energies bring to mind townhall shouters and rioters across America!)

Yes, all three stars can make for a destructive team, yet their energies may be used positively, too, for clear and focused action. For as it often is, it's motivation that makes all the difference.

Horoscope of US Mars Return: Aug 12, 2009

US Mars Return: August 12, 2009, 3:15:40 am edt, Philadelphia, PA; Hour of Jupiter; Disseminating phase (the 'getting out the info' stage.)

Details are published at Jude's Threshold, if you're interested in the whys and wherefores.

FlashForward: Solar Eclipse of Jan 15, 2010

Solar Eclipse Jan 15, 2010 at 25Cap01, 12 North Series, Washington, DC; 2:11:18 am est; Moon Hour; Ecl in 3rd house; YOD = Sun/Uranus = Moon/Uranus = Venus/Uranus = Mc = Hygeia Rx = Health.

Sun/Moon = Venus 25Cap50 = Dark Moon W'Mat2 (something occult, hidden, veiled, and/or depressive.) This Eclipse opposes US natal Mercury Rx '25Cancer'...

"A Will-full Man Is Overshadowed by a Descent of Superior Power"...

'We are dealing here with a man who uses his will and positive imagination in facing life's problems. To him comes a pentecostal descent of power. He receives the "mantle of power," the grace (baraka in Sufi philosophy) or the Providential assistance which can make him a true leader in his culture.

(This is) a spiritual response, a sign of inner strength and uncommon ENDOWMENT.

Keynote: The response of spiritual forces to the integration of personality through positive will-full endeavors.'

You will, of course, note 'baraka' and its close similarity to Barack (Obama); it sounds to me as if the president isn't top dog in the power department - unless the Eclipse' energy is used on a spiritual level! And 'overshadowed' reminds me of Sun, Moon, and Venus being overshadowed by Dark Moon W'mat2, a point that's difficult to find details on. I believe it stands for astronomer Walter Matthews, but I can't locate again the website with this info. Perhaps you can sleuth it out and let me know if you find anything.

As you see, there are more things happening in the Northern Hemisphere of the chart, thus in private, with only Mars and Saturn in the public sector.

ASC 14Sco22:

Chart-ruler Mars 15Leo17 Rx in 9th house; co-ruler Pluto 3Cap49 conjunct Mercury 5Cap34 Rx in 2nd house of Values, Money, Earning Ability. Mercury and Pluto work well as a pair especially if you're fond of propaganda and persuasive speaking and writing - here on money matters and values (2nd house), and the spirit of opposition (politics.) This is the 'deep thoughts' combo, too, which can be cruel in its perceptions and in speech.

Affecting Mercury and Pluto is a transiting midpoint particular to this chart and Eclipse, a midpoint indicating instability and high receptivity: Neptune/ASC.

Nep/ASC = Mercury: deceiving oneself about other people's character; exploiting the weaknesses of others; taking the wrong path; malicious scheming; guided by wrong impressions; special perceptions; open to deception.

Nep/ASC = Pluto: an oppressive environment; difficulty tuning in; harm through deceit, libel, or malice coming from others. (All midpt pics from Tyl and Ebertin.)

And we can't forget Mercury's love of transport, trade, and commerce, or Pluto's links to wealth and manipulation - even 'transformative agreements' such as NAFTA may be on the menu with Mercury/Pluto, but Neptune will add confusion, deception, and possible loss from mergers (financial and otherwise) as 'free trade' agreements and secret deals affect the masses (Neptune.)

$$ Also in 2nd house:

Anti-Vertex = Saturn/Uranus 29Sag05...'30Sag' = "The Pope Blessing the Faithful"; VX in 8th house conjunct Hades 28Gem14 Rx...'28Gem' = "Bankruptcy." The VX/Anti-VX axis relates to encounters with fated/karmic conditions (which in my book means reaping what one sows, or with collective fates over which individuals have no control.)

Eclipse's Sabian Symbol (Rudhyar) = '26Cap' = "A Nature Spirit Dancing in the Iridescent Mist of a Waterfall."

'Water...is a magical substance, and modern chemists are rediscovering in their study of its unusual behavior in certain situations what old Alchemists in their own way no doubt understood. ~~~ The consciousness here becomes sensitized to the downward flow of OCCULT ENERGY in its bountiful natural aspect.

Keynote: The ability to perceive the hidden and creative spirit of natural phenomena."

And paraphrasing from Brady's Predictive Astrology...

12N brings sudden opportunities to accept greater responsibilities and new commitments as a result of another person's inability to carry on; opportunities are heralded by difficult events but the outcomes are positive for self-esteem and harmony. (Last manifestation: Jan 4, 1992 at 13Cap51 opposite US natal Sun. And Bill Clinton took over the helm in place of his pal, Poppy Bush.)

A Solar Eclipse in Capricorn implicates the sign's connections to law, government, business, and authority. And given the above flavor of the 12N Series blended with the chart's YOD pattern with Mc (Career; Public Status) as the area of manifestation - with asteroid Hygeia Rx there, too - I suspect a public figure may be felled by ill health, or possibly death. 'Rx' indicates to me that it's an ongoing medical condition which may get the best of someone.

Plus, Scorpio rising indicates medical or surgical concerns on the rise. Health Care Reform (or Medical Insurance Reform, whatever) is an obvious potential for the 12N Eclipse season of 2010 - and we may look back to its previous manifestation in 1992 and to the Clintons' attempts at reform!

~I also thought of Judge Sonia Sotomayor as she joins the SCOTUS in place of Justice David Souter, who couldn't or didn't want to 'carry on' - and yet that situation may pre-date the Eclipse by too long a time, even though one of the events brought by this Eclipse may be of a ceremonial nature. (I think Sotomayor's SC investment is set for Oct 8, 2009.)~

Yes, Capricorn is related to court systems, yet perhaps one of our ailing Capitol Hill politicians will give up an exalted position due to ill health (or med problems of a loved one.) Plus, YOD patterns can describe health crises...and there's health-related Hygeia at Mc being 'pointed to' by the YOD's base. The first midpoint to rise is difficult Saturn/Pluto, so we have...

Sat/Plu = ASC: sadness and mourning; placed in cumbersome circumstances.

A person of science and research (Cap's Saturn) may be described here as well; plus, Chiron (the wounded healer) is at Ic, opposing Hygeia. Ic is the Foundation of the chart and of the Eclipse, as you see; Ic is aka The Drain.

Speculators Jupiter and Neptune are in 4th house of Domestic Scene, with moneybags Jupiter at a crisis-ridden 29th degree (AQ.) How to pay for Health Care Reform? A 4th house disruptive rebel Uranus in contagious Pisces has no idea. But he might wish to interrupt someone's career all the same.

Then with Venus and Saturn ruling the Eclipse, a royal personage may become engaged or may marry, or otherwise take part in a public ceremony; Mars Rx is in royal Leo in the 9th house of Foreign Lands. Whatever occurs, the American public will hear much of it with the Eclipse falling in the 3rd house of Communications (in Washington, DC.)

Let's Close on a Somewhat Lighter Note:

The TV industry may be getting into the cosmic act with FlashForward, a new ABC series premiering on Thursday, Sept 24.

FlashForward's script involves a prophetic date as part of the storyline: April 29, 2010. You see, almost everyone on the planet loses consciousness and shares a collective 'glimpse of the future'...April 29, 2010, which makes 12N the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of this imaginary prophetic date.

The production values of the program are said to be fabulous, and execs say they're making a commitment to perhaps 3 years' worth or more of episodes. Plus, having Joseph Fiennes in the cast won't hurt a bit, along with Dominic Monaghan and John Cho.

And though I don't think any of us need more Hollywood-esque 'end time disaster scenarios' to haunt our dreams, it will be interesting to see if the influence of 12N turns up in FlashForward's futuristic plot, weaving its spell as it digitally broadcasts in subliminal high-def.

As they say on TV: stay tuned!

Astrology of another Hudson River air plane disaster: 8.8.09

New York's Hudson River is once again involved in an air travel disaster as a small plane collided today with a sight-seeing helicopter.

Search and rescue efforts are ongoing, last I heard.

The small plane took off from the Teterboro Airport in Teaneck, NJ, today at 11:54 am edt, Hour of Mercury, planet of the wing'ed feet and helmet.

At 11:54 am edt, the Midheaven, the most visible point of any chart (the WHY? Point), is the degree of the July 21, 2009 Solar Eclipse at 29Can27 ('systems fail') along with the Moon's South Node, a point of separation, which is now triggering the Solar Eclipse manifestation.

A midpoint picture formed at 11:54 am edt in Teaneck, and may be of note bwo a T-Square...

Moon/Saturn = Mars ('19Gemini'): difficulty getting off the ground except by very careful strategically planned exertion of energy; the sense of real problems. (Tyl.)

My prayers are with the passengers, their families and friends, and the recue team members who are putting their own lives at risk.

Mock protests across US against Health Care Reform

Hopefully, MoveOn.org won't mind if I publish here the gist of their email of August 7 concerning Health Care Reform and the ramping up of what are, at least in part, planted protesters:

'Last night in Tampa, Florida, a town hall meeting erupted into violence, with the police being called to break up fist fights and shoving matches.

A Texas Democrat was shouted down by right-wing hecklers, many of whom admitted they didn't even live in his district.

One North Carolina representative announced he wouldn't be holding any town-hall meetings after his office began receiving death threats.

And in Maryland, protesters hung a Democratic congressman in effigy to oppose health-care reform.'

The health care industry should be ashamed, and the GOP, too. Where were these 'activists' when Bush and Cheney were running loose against the US Constitution, and bombing innocent women and children for oil and profits? Did that not bother them? Pres. Obama's continuance of Bush-Cheney's policies bothers me no end, though it was expected here.

And yes, I have mixed feelings about health care legislation in the New Millennium. It awaits further revelations as to whether the changes are really a part of the New World Order agenda through DNA/bloodline record searches, genetic research abominations and population control, online medical records at security risk, and other such potentials for abuse of power.

Still, I find current tactics such as 'burning in effigy' and 'death threats' to be distasteful in the extreme - unless they're done in protest against the coup of the US government by Enlightened Illuminatists.

Undermining a Democratic president is a an added bonus for the GOP, imo, along with protecting industry profits.

Got opinions?

Grassley uses Kennedy's cancer to create more fear over Health Care Reform

The GOP is fighting tooth'n'nail now as Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) uses Ted Kennedy's advanced age and his brain tumor to fearmonger against Health Care Reform legislation.

Now it's true that "rationing" may turn out to be a problem if reform is passed, especially with the need for more doctors and nurses in this country. But the GOP has no concern that for millions of non-wealthy Americans, the US health care system works like a rationing system now when you are shut out from getting care at all, or get attention only when medical conditions are beyond improvement or care arrives too late.

Can anything be more vampirish and selfish than insurance companies keeping a person who's in need of life-saving care on tenterhooks and filing more forms until time - and their lives - run out? The suffering they cause should be shameful to them.

If corporations are people, too and people have consciences, should corporations get in line for conscience transplants? That's a fund I'd donate to, if necessary, and no rationing allowed.

As it stands, insurance companies 'ration' treatment in preference for the health of their bottom lines, not for those who've paid them premiums for years. In this case, 'rationing' is another word for weeding out the sick, poor, and aged...aka, population control. And they're determined to hold on to their ability to do it - as if it's their 'right' because they worship the god of profits.

Enter Chuck Grassley, stage right.

But that's my populist mindset. Obviously Grassley and the GOP - and some Democrats - see things quite differently through the lens of gold standard care, don't they?

Meanwhile, it's the American people paying the lion's share of congressional insurance premiums! As I've complained here previously: congressmembers should pay 100% of their health care premiums and costs...then we'll talk.

August 7, 2009: Moon, Jupiter, and Fomalhaut

EarthSky displays a map of the night time sky for August 7, 2009, showing the alignment of a waning gibbous Moon, Jupiter, and Fomalhaut.

Find out why Fomalhaut, one of the four Royal Stars of Persia, is called "the loneliest star"!

Brady's Book of Fixed Stars gives Fomalhaut's key phrase as: being humanitarian and poetic, and indicates that if Fomalhaut is linked to planet in your natal chart, you must be very clear and honest with yourself about the motives for your goals - and that 'personal glory' should not be your driving force.

Clues are given by the character of the planet in contact: Jupiter with ideals and expansion, Mercury with communications, thinking, and plans, Venus with relationships, romance, and values, etc.

Another side of this Star is the 'bittersweet madness of the poetic mind challenged to remain in the physical world.' This relates on one level to the child stolen by fairies who must fight to return to the mortal world!

Fomalhaut is one of the great Stars of the heavens and will definitely affect your life if it links to your chart....there may be fairies there...

There be dragons and presidents' birthdays

Since I've been reading a good bit lately about Dragons in lore and myth, and because today is President Obama's birthday, I found a list of unusual birthday gifts for past presidents which may amuse but also give you gift ideas for your friends' upcoming birthdays.

Who received Naga, a Komodo dragon, in 1990? Why, Bush Sr, of course, Mr. NWO himself!

Decline and Fall of the ~fill-in-the-blank~ Empire

We've heard comparisons made between the Roman and American Empires for a while now.

Decline and Fall of the American Empire adds to the saga.

Audio of JFK speech: "We are opposed to secret societies"

This is an audio of a speech by John F. Kennedy in which he states, among other things, that, "We are opposed to secret societies." So you may wish to check it out considering that Dealey Plaza, where the president was assassinated in Dallas is well-known as a Masonic Plaza.

Prominent figures killed by secret societies tend to have an 'eternal flame' at their gravesites, in case you're wondering who there are. Princess Diana, Martin Luther King, Jr, and the rest would appreciate attention to discovering their murderers' identities, imo.

And yet I know that everyone is afraid of them. Just look at the sorry, often quixotic, behavior of the US Congress.


Disclosure: I never blog here or elsewhere with the intent of maligning rank and file members of any organization; I believe the 'need to know' model is used within them all, where only a select few people at the top of the pyramid-of-power actually know everything that's being done and why - in order to keep the reins of power firmly in certain hands, and to avoid any chances of their own unmasking. Plus, underlings doing decent charity work makes a good screen for evil to hide behind, don't you think? jc
