Corporations Fund Both Party Conventions, Reap Huge Rewards - clip (and a Full Moon)

With both the RNC and the DNC stalking us in July, 2016, isn't it comforting to know who funds and thereby benefits financially from these massive Political Theater stage shows? No, they aren't demonstrations of 'democracy at work', they're more signs of Corporatism and political propaganda of The Establishment at work, balloons and all. And who can resist festive balloons?

In case you missed it, have a look at the horoscope of the Full Moon conjunct US natal Pluto in governmental Capricorn which perfects on July 19th during RNC 2016. The RNC Full Moon could be the fulfillment of the Gemini New Moon that occurred on June 16, 2015, the day that Donald Trump announced his 2016 bid for the GOP nomination and it will probably merit the RNC with greater publicity than the DNC will receive.

So will Mr. Trump's new cycle of political activity (New Moon) be fulfilled or culminate at the July Full Moon? Actually, Quicken Loans may know something about the possibility of a Trump nomination in Cleveland, while Wells Fargo goes on to toast the Democratic nominee in Philadelphia. We'll suffer the same old corporate fraud and mismanagement either way unless Bernie Sanders is the nominee.

But sorry to say, how a President Sanders could manage to turn America away from its corporate Global Government course that has simmered so long in the Utopian visionary cauldron is any citizen's fervent dream...assuming that that is what he wants to achieve.

Full Moon May 21, 2016 and 2011's Sequestration Eclipse

Will the May 21, 2016 Full Moon activate or fulfill Sequestration Cuts?

by Jude Cowell

On May 21, 2016 a Full Moon perfects at 1Sag36 within orb of the Sequestration Eclipse of November 25, 2011 (2Sag36). Since New and Full Moons can act in similar fashion to eclipses (disruptive 'wild cards') if they are prominent or powerful enough, I'm suggesting that the May 21st Full Moon occurring so near the November 2011 Eclipse degree could activate, trigger, stimulate, culminate, or fulfill events concerning the 2011 Solar Eclipse, a New Moon, which fell in the 14 North Saros Series with its themes of 'peculiar turns of events, unexpected financial happenings, despair, confusion, a draining of energy, too much confusion to make clear judgments' (Brady).

And since Eclipses often uncover secrets or previously hidden facts, inconvenient revelations concerning sequestration and/or the related actions of Congress could occur in the rays of May's Full Moon as the seamy underbelly of our Capitol Hill Political Theater is exposed to the light.

Now in September 2015 The Hill headlined Sequestration becomes 2016 buzzword for Republicans then trudging along on the Campaign 2016 trail--though the buzz seems to have bumbled out as the campaign now focuses on its presumptive nominee, Mr. Trump. Back then, Donald Trump is quoted on the topic of ending sequestration saying that "more cuts are needed" yet if we ask him tomorrow, his off-the-cuff gut reaction on the subject may be completely different.

The con man/businessman has stated that he doesn't want to cut "entitlement" programs like Social Security even though the predictable Republican Party line is to end deep budget cuts via sequestration for the military while keeping them in place for domestic programs. Perhaps this result was their goal in November 2011 when the US Congress abandoned its fiscal duties and allowed 'sequestration' to be put in place like a time bomb of austerity aimed at the American people, a catastrophe Republicans have longed for since the social safety net days of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. And nowadays, the GOP has managed to convince almost half the American people that they are not a party of reactionary monarchists waging class warfare against We the People in spite of all evidence to the contrary!

Then, in March 2016 Defense News promoted a warning to 'lawmakers' (represented by Saturn: 2011 Saturn rising with Arcturus, Spica, and Cupido (Corporatism; The Syndicate) in the 2016 chart and in 2016, you see Saturn conjoining 2011's North Node, as further noted below) that Sequestration Budget Cuts Pose 'Greatest Risk' to DoD. Fear mongering, a reliable tactic, yes?

Now none of this is necessarily an either/or proposition but since all Full Moons are the culmination or fulfillment stage of a preceding New Moon (which can be a Solar Eclipse, a new cycle of activity) perhaps May 2016 will bring the word sequestration into the 24-hour news cycle more prominently as all or some of its provisions are either ended, defended, or continued. Another possibility is that the social safety net cuts that Republicans have always wanted will finally be realized thanks to sequestration--in a flurry of Full Moon fulfillment--while the already obscenely overblown military budget of The Empire will be protected and the warmongering stock portfolios of politicians will continue to fatten. Of course, any of the 2011 eclipse's despair vibes that may be activated will not ruffle the fine feathers of win-win power elites.

If you're curious, here are both the November 25, 2011 and May 21, 2016 horoscopes set for Washington DC and embedded for your consideration:

Enlarge the image for a few basic chart details. In 2011, Mars was leading the entire troupe of actors while disruptive Uranus conjoined a prominent World Point @00Aries (Utopians and zealous fanatics). But in 2016, financier Jupiter is in the spotlight as handle of a Bucket pattern. And as you see, 2016 Saturn @14Sag01 in 2nd house of the National Treasury conjoins the 2011 North Node hinting at serious meetings--more of them (Saturn Rx), probably with an air of austerity attached. Also in 2nd house is the Full Moon attended closely by activist Mars, the warrior planet, conjunct the Full Moon degree.

Opposite, the Sun @1Gem13 in the corporate 8th house of Debt, Credit, and Insurance (Obamacare?) will be conjoined by one of the money planets, Venus in her own sign of Taurus, conjunct one of the stars of the Pleiades constellation, enraged Algol. Apparently, someone is furious and it may be a lady--my guess? Yellen, Clinton, or both. Of course, this could also be a cosmic shout-out to militants of the Isis persuasion and the threatening sequestration cuts that will cramp the Pentagon's style in fighting them. Plus, with China, Russia, North Korea, and others building up their weapons and military forces, the American Empire must keep up with the Great Chess Game.

Yet in a logical world, you'd think that the US Congress in 2011 must have suspected such questionable outcomes, wouldn't you? In 2015 they improved the military budget but will that provide enough billions to pay private contractors and the rest?

Be that as it may, Guns and Butter is a very tiresome stalemate to have to deal with all over again, thanks to US politicians behaving in breach of the public contract by not doing their jobs--and when they do their jobs, they do them as badly as possible down to the lowest common denominator, credit downgrades and all. Guess you can see political faithlessness in the 2011 Eclipse chart via fixed star Denebola rising with its key phrase: to go against society. Look to the goal-oriented Why? Point of the 2011 chart (MC) and you see US natal Mars in Gemini, our military fighting multiple wars at once. And in the May 2016 chart, there is US Progressed Pluto at critical degree (29Cap) at the IC (also at 29Cap, the How? Point), the plutocratic Foundation of the Matter.

As for Guns and Butter, one of the clearest expressions of the paradox that I know of is Dwight Eisenhower's famous Chance for Peace speech delivered on April 16, 1953 to the American Society of Newspaper Editors--back when a Republican president seems to have retained a conscience as he bounced from war to White House. To quote:

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.

The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron...

Is there no other way the world may live?"

If you know a modern politician, a 2016 candidate perhaps, who's up to the task of giving an honest and life-affirming answer to such a question, please vote for him on November 8, 2016.

Friday May 13, 2016: History of Freemasons and The Skull And Bones - video

UPDATE May 31, 2022: The originally embedded video has been removed from this post as, 'no longer available' so with a few mild edits, my original post begins here:

The Jacques de Molay of the Knights Templar legend relates to the founding of America, including Francis Bacon's New Atlantis vision, America's Great Seal symbols, 'Novus Ordo Seclorum', Freemason George Washington's ceremonial roles with silver trowel and apron, our scam-filled 'Manifest Destiny', the money lenders' 'Federal Reserve' central bank of 1913 (creating money out of thin air and loaning it to enslave governments), Freemason FDR's placing the freaky Eye-of-Horus pyramid of power on our currency, the 'New World Order' political agenda of World Government which implicates the EU and various 'free' trade deals, our empiric take-overs of sovereign countries in order to plunder treasures, depopulate, and to institute their enslavement to the International Banking Cartel (all relating to a centuries' long dream of setting up a 'King of Jerusalem')...well, the list goes, doesn't it?

Now We the People are mired within the Campaign 2016 season with our typical lesser-of-two-evils choice ahead on November 8th--as if We the People actually elect presidents!

Running as a Democrat, Senator Bernie Sanders is the only candidate who comes across to me as genuine while complaining against income inequality and the oppression of the elite banker class which officially took control of the US government in 1913, as noted. And though I have yet to hear the Senator mention such terms as 'Templar Knights' or 'Illuminati', we can simply gaze at New York Harbor for a view of the Illuminati symbol of the Eternal Flame held by the Venusian goddess statue sent us by french Freemasons to know who rules this nation. Or, we can check out America's Great Seal which is basically same as the seal of Weishaupt's Bavarian Illuminati founded May 1, 1776.

No, candidate Bernie Sanders cannot "do it alone" and restructure the government of this nation, even with transformative, destructuring Pluto in governmental Capricorn approaching its natal position in our nation's 1776 horoscope (27Cap33). And if by a miracle he is elected to the presidency, a monumental task awaits if he attempts to best the Banking Cartel on behalf of the American people. Yet decades of divide-and-conquer tactics by the power elite have guaranteed them primacy over us since we would need to Speak as One Voice along with Bernie in order to make any real difference in our national plight.

Yet between social wedge issues like transgender bathroom use, abortion, and racial inequality, what are our chances of banding together en masse against the shadowy figures who are our true oppressors?

The "Unsurprising Surprises" of a "Man Who Believes in Nothing"

"...the man who believes in nothing, and therefore has space for everything, has a terrible advantage over us. What passes as a kindly tolerance in him is in reality a craven acceptance of the world's worst crimes. He's an immobilist, an apathist, and a militant passivist...And of course he's a dear sweet man."

- John le Carre

People who know Donald Trump describe him by such words as "warm and generous," as House Speaker Paul Ryan flattered him after their much-touted 'Unity Meeting' this morning (see link, below). And naturally the boastful Mr. Trump always believes that he resembles such favorable opinions with his brash Mars rising in proud Leo, the sign ruled by the Sun (ego). And as you know, his Gemini planets denote him as an actor, juggler, chameleon, and something of a magician--two sides has his nibs via dualistic Gemini and those would be of the light vs the dark variety. No, he is not as he seems on the campaign trail or when cameras are on, as he suggests. Watch for his pivot to being very "presidential," he promises. Dictatorial, too, is my suspicion, and with his tiny finger on The Button (mea culpa! I couldn't resist a small reference; oops! there's another one).

See the link to his natal chart, below.

So before anyone dares vote Trump's over-promising, nationalist way, she or he may wish to check out Mike Lofgren's article Donald Trump's Unsurprising Surprise. For any positives Mr. Trump may possess, there are a lot of negatives wrapped inside this surprise package!

Is Donald Trump the Duck Dynasty Version of Reagan? - clip (and a "Unity Meeting")

In honor of this morning's "Unity Meeting" between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (with Trump's natal Mercury @8Cancer conjunct fixed star Mirzam rising at 9:00 am edt: to have one's say), I'm posting a commentary by progressive broadcaster Thom Hartmann concerning the differences and similarities of the 2016 Trump campaign and Ronald Reagan's successful 1980 presidential campaign:

May 12, 2016 Political Theater: an Astro-Peek at the Trump-Ryan Unity Meeting

At the goal-oriented Midheaven of today's Trump-Ryan Unity Meeting horoscope is the propagandistic Mercury-Pluto midpoint which carries potentials for keen judgment, coping ability, sharing secrets, providing important info, foresight, and an ability to arrange matters well (Ebertin). For RNC Chairman Reince Priebus (March 18, 1972) and for Paul Ryan (January 29, 1970), the current Mars retrograde transit in Sagittarius is lurking around both their Neptunes--Priebus' @5Sag and Ryan's @00Sag. When transit Mars aggravates natal Neptune, vibes of pretense, illusion, confusion, deception, and misunderstanding abound and may be coming from others and/or from Priebus and Ryan themselves. And considering Trump's truth-distorting natal Mercury-Neptune square, an air-clearing meeting of understanding and ironing out differences this morning almost had to be fraught with such potentials.

In addition, the current Jupiter-Neptune opposition is affecting Paul Ryan's natal Nodal Axis and his Midheaven, both on the Virgo/Pisces polarity, and the Jupiter-Neptune pair is associated with political conflicts, fraud, and speculation. And with today's Sun position @22Taurus (money sign of The Bull of Wall Street), the solar Sabian Symbol comes into view: "A Jewelry Shop Filled with the Most Magnificent Gems," which remains significant due to the May 2000 Great Conjunction of societal planets Jupiter and Saturn upon that degree. Financing a 'Victory Fund' was, of course, one of the topics of their "Unity Meeting" since Mr. Trump has now pivoted toward the General Election and the defeat of presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton--and because Trump's great claim of financing his own campaign must wane since his campaign will pay him back, plus, the billion-dollar effort that must be financed if Donald Trump is to prevail for the Republicans in November.

So although the changeable Gemini Mr. Trump is unpredictable (his natal Uranus in mutable Gemini leads all his planets) and is not considered conservative enough for many GOPers (can the party control him? he has enough baggage from the past that they can probably use threats and blackmail), the basic summation by Republican spokesmen this morning concerning the Trump-Ryan Unity Meeting is that "Trump isn't Hillary".

And I believe that that may be what many people would call cold comfort.

Mr. Trump's Conspiracy Theory of a Saturn-Neptune kind

The ongoing Saturn-Neptune square (*Sagittarius to Pisces) with its realism-fantasy vibes has me thinking about certain conspiracy theories both old and new, and wondering if you've ever checked out Conspiracy Archives, a site where you'll find pages such as 9/11 and JFK, plus, the following quote from Chris Sanders, author of Oil, Smoke, and Mirrors:

"The use of 'conspiracy theory' as a derogatory -- as an epithet almost -- is something the propagandists have perfected over the decades, and it's a useful tool for eliminating articulate dissent and other points of view, and information that might be inconvenient for a policy agenda."

Why, even Republican candidate and nominee-in-waiting Donald Trump uses conspiracy theories when they suit his purposes. Like the other day when he tossed out an innuendo about Ted Cruz's father Raphael having his photo taken with Lee Harvey Oswald in Cuba--but was that really a young Raphael in the grainy photo? Donald wasn't certain, of course, but perhaps it could be him...sigh...oh, isn't life simply full of Neptunian uncertainties?

Is it conspiratorial to wonder if there's a link between Trump's Cruz-Oswald photo 'revelation' and the Saturnian fact that candidate Ted Cruz ended his 2016 campaign after his major loss in Indiana and soon after Trump had latched on to the published photo (orchestrated between Trump and the publisher so he could cite it) thus creating a conspiracy theory within a conspiracy theory? Timekeeper planet Saturn often ends things, plus we're under the influence of the 18 South Solar Eclipse with its themes of endings, partings, and separations. Could it be (and this sounds like a Trump innuendo tactic!) that Raphael Cruz actually does have a secret in his past that must be kept hidden which makes any spotlight thrown upon his Havana days inconvenient?

Well, Mr. Trump may have pulled a little Neptunian wool over the eyes of enough of his supporters in time to influence them away from Ted Cruz, but the Saturnian truth (according to the Warren Commission) is that the photo shows Oswald passing out pamphlets on the street with help from a couple of men he hired out of an unemployment line.

So in this case, truthful Saturn blocked (via the square) Neptune but only after conspiratorial Neptune had done its political hack job for Donald Trump with his reality-distorting Mercury-Neptune square.

Now let's close with an excerpt from a March 23, 2015 post concerning the astrological condition of chart-ruler Mercury in the horoscope of Ted Cruz's announcement of his run for president circa 2016:

I set up the horoscope for today, Lynchburg, VA at the moment the TV time-stamped his actual announcement that he's running for president of the United States (10:46 am edt). Rising 12Gem53 (the Descendant in America's natal horoscope for those who use the 'Sibly' chart for July 4, 1776 5:09 or 5:10 pm LMT Philadelphia, PA--possibly showing Cruz's Canadian birth as The Other/7th house?) and of course Gemini is appropriate for speeches, messages, and announcements of any kind. Therefore, Mercury, ruler of Gemini (sign of 'good news') rules the chart, the announcement, and the orator so we look to Mercury's major applying aspects to other planets to see how things may proceed from Mr. Green Eggs and Ham's announcement and presidential campaign, or how (his candidacy) will be accepted.

In the chart, Mercury is in the 10th house of Public Status and Career but is rather woolly in the sign of Pisces (16:40). Pisces is imaginative, yes, but is often murky, perhaps a bit confused, or even deceptive--and this Mercury makes not one major or minor applying aspect to another planet in the horoscope denoting that his bid may go nowhere as well. There is a separating sextile of opportunity between Mercury and Pluto @15Cap23 but he would have fared better if he'd not missed its waxing condition.

(A Mercury sextile Pluto indicates a penetrating mind, a need to remain flexible, trying to control the scope or direction of things, and hypersensitivity to criticism to the point that others may not share negative information which makes honest discussion and rational debate impossible.)

So it's fare well for now, ye crusader dueling with shadows...we hardly knew ya but it was too much all the same.

*Sagittarius, sign of the foreigner, is ruled by Jupiter which in mundane charts can play roles such as politician, ideologue, financier, actor, and propagandist, and Pisces is ruled traditionally by Jupiter with inspirational yet murky Neptune as a Higher Octave influence for cosmic Pisces. And of course, Neptune can wear many masks including that of a fraudster, a liar, and/or a crook.

Growing List of Republicans Voting for Hillary Over Trump - video

May 5, 2016: With many Americans seeing little if any difference between the Republican and Democratic Parties (both follow the corporate global government script but with different ideas of how to implement the 'big picture' agenda) and since Campaign 2016 has proven to be such a cluster f*** of lies, sophomoric insults, slanderous accusations, evading-the-issue debates, and disappointing choices, it makes sense that some conservative voters might wander into war hawk Hillary's aisle on Election Day 2016 in order to avoid Mr. Trump.

Another earlier version is the chart I have most often worked with which is set for May 13, 1792 (NS) 12:00 pm LMT Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The 1792 Moon (We the People) conjoins our 1776 Moon in late Aquarius, an interesting synchronicity. You may find the 1792 chart and more details by visiting Neptune Cafe.

Great Minds P1 - Ralph Nader - Breaking Through Power - video (plus, Saturn)

Are Americans fed up with 'the establishment'? Here's Part 1 of a two-part discussion between Ralph Nader and Thom Hartmann concerning the rise of Senator Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign:

The current public discourse about Americans being fed up with establishment politics grows louder as transit Saturn, planet of government, systems, the establishment, the status quo, conservatism, and authority travels through Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, a period when We the People's sense of justice rises along with our disgust at Washington corruption, fraud, mismanagement, and breach of the public trust. And we might say that the clear-eyed approach of realistic Saturn relates as well to our fatigue with Washington's striving toward Global Government which was always a Luciferian-Utopian dream invented centuries ago and promoted and supported by the global banking system with the Houses of Rothschild, Rockefeller, and Morgan hiding their horns underneath.

Related is an April 2010 article written by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, Where's My Change? which faults President Obama for his caution and conservatism so well described astrologically by Barack Obama's natal Saturn retrograde in its own sign of Capricorn. Remember the debate in the president's early days of election and taking office about whether he was progressive or conservative? Conservative Saturn and progressive Uranus opposed one another then. Well, conservative won with yours truly, and so his presidency primarily has been. The feathers of transnational bankers have remained unruffled!

So here's a view of Mr. Nader's natal horoscope with Sun Pisces, Moon Leo, and a strongly opinionated Mercury-Mars conjunction in socially concerned Pisces. You may also wish to take another peek at the natal chart of Barack Obama with April 25, 2011 transits around it. After all, US presidents are not selected for Oval office tenure without vowing to follow the Global Government script--which negates the US Constitution and puts such corporate interests above those of We the People.

Hillary Clinton: the Choice of Venus in this Year of the Outsider?

Is Hillary Clinton Outsider Enough to Satisfy Election 2016 Venus in Sagittarius?

by Jude Cowell

Sagittarius is the sign of the outsider or the foreigner and last year, when I posted to SO'W the article on the Venus Cycle and its influence on the upcoming US presidential election of November 8, 2016, it was early days and the field of 2016 candidates had not yet narrowed to Hillary, Bernie, Donald, Ted, and John. At that time, a brokered (or, open) convention had not been mentioned with its allure of a Republican nominee appearing from 'outside' the current field of wanna-bes. Perhaps in July a nominee from who-knows-where can still appear at the RNC (from outside the campaign) but apparently it will not be GOP favorite, Speaker Paul Ryan.

Now May 2016 is almost upon us and the Republican establishment is said to be coming around to the acceptance of wild card circus barker Donald Trump as their nominee for president, outsider as he is said to be. Hillary Clinton seems a shoe-in for the Democrats so I'm wondering: is she enough of an outsider to satisfy Venus and thus be the next resident of the Oval Office (the Venusian egg-shaped power base in the White House). My thought is that Hillary may be enough of an outsider due to her status as a female--and perhaps lady Venus will be satisfied with a president who isn't a traditional member of the good ole boys' network even though Hillary's decades as a political animal identifies her to most people as being as 'establishment' as anyone. But if she's indicted...well, Bernie can still step in and I suspect that his political status as a Democratic Socialist, not a Democrat, may qualify him as an outsider.

(Yes, I know Trump is seemingly more of an outsider but we're talking Hillary here.)

So if you'd like to consider more on Hillary's status, see Hardball's Chris Matthews discussing how Clinton Survives in the Year of the Outsider.

"The Year of the Outsider"! Such an appropriate description of America's 4-year election cycle and the influence of planet Venus upon who wins the day!

April 26, 2016: First, news about Campaign 2016, then guest, journalist Seymour Hersh, speaks with Thom Hartmann:

On May 9, 2016 Mercury Transits the Sun

On Monday May 9, 2016, the Great Cosmic Clock that is our Solar System provides us a rather rare view into its machinations via a Mercury Transit across the Sun. The last one occurred on November 8, 2006 with Mercury at 16 Scorpio. On May 9, Mercury will be opposite its 2008 degree at 19 Taurus (Tropical Zodiac).

So if you're as curious as a Mercurial person can be about this 13-to-14-times-per-century spectacle, check out Brian Ventrudo's Guide to the May 9, 2016 Transit of Mercury.

Actually May 9 stands out for another cosmic reason because giant Jupiter performs a Direct Station that very morning at 8:14 am edt on the 13 Virgo degree. Somehow both events in the heavens seem to me to relate to Campaign 2016 in the US--Mercury rules voting, voters, speeches, rhetoric, travels, plans, actors, tricksters, thieves, traders, and such while Jupiter plays many roles in Mundane Astrology--among them, politicians, actors, bankers, and financiers.
