But Who Wants Another World War?

Plans For a Th*rd W*rld W*r Were Hatched Long Ago

by Jude Cowell

There's a webpage featuring the infamous 'Pike's Letter to Mazzini', dated August 15, 1871, which describes plans for a Th*rd W*rld W*r designed to pit Zionists against Muslims in order to destroy them all, and civilization with it. The page includes brief biographical details concerning Boston-born Albert Pike, Confederate General, Luciferian occultist, grand poobah of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, and friend of Giuseppe Mazzini, founder of the Sic*lian Maf*a, as I'm told.

Here's General Pike now around the time of the Civil War:

Now the primary troublemaker of his day, Albert Pike, was born December 29, 1809, about 9 months into the first presidential term of founding father James Madison who served our country from March 4, 1809 to March 4, 1817. Pike's early Capricorn Sun-Mercury conjunction shows his intellectual prowess while his natal Moon was in late Virgo or in Libra (as late as 11 Libra). Without an accurate birth time for Baby Albert, we can use the two potential Sun-Moon personality blends to make a wild guess. Chances are, Pike's blend is Sun Capricorn-Moon Libra which suggests a courageous crusader on a mission who believes wholeheartedly in his cause. This blend is shared natally by Tsar Alexander of Russia, Joan of Arc, and founding father Alexander Hamilton. I might add a measure of blind zeal to this combination of conscious and unconscious energies. In fact, one of The Harveys' "Images for Integration" seems instructive:

"A visionary statesman fights a duel to see justice done." And The South Shall Rise Again?

So if nothing else does it, Albert Pike's forceful personality links his 1871 letter detailing plans for a third world war with our day's current crop of sore loser white supremacists and 'Maga' seditionists now bedeviling our nation, and who, through "Christian Nationalism," work to force theocracy, fascism, and a final war upon the human race. Plus, from Pike's photo, above, would you say that he might just favor a troublemaking seditionist of our day: Steve Bannon?

Meanwhile, in order to counter the ugliness of Luciferian warmonger Pike, here are words of wisdom from James Madison, the Father of the US Constitution:

"A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home. Among the Romans it was a standing maxim to excite a war, whenever a revolt was apprehended. Throughout all Europe, the armies kept up under the pretense of defending, have enslaved the people." - James Madison, speech at the Constitutional Convention, June 29, 1787.

"Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. "The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare." - James Madison, "Political Observations" April 20, 1795.

Aug 2017 Lunar Eclipse Hits The Confederacy's Sun

August 2017: Lunar and Solar Eclipse Alerts for the White House?

In January 2013 I posted here the natal horoscope of The Confederacy with its Sun @15Aquarius. The Confederacy Sun will be eclipsed on August 7, 2017 by a Lunar Eclipse @15AQ and given the infiltration of the White House by Klansmen (or by KKK supporters and sympaticos, Mr. Bannon in particular who just loves to employ the power of dark forces), it seems significant that such a solar relic from America's Civil War past will, in August 2017, be in focus via what can be called the cosmic blink of a Lunar Eclipse--then another blink from the accompanying Total Solar Eclipse as its shadow races across the country from Oregon to South Carolina where the Civil War's first shot was fired.

See Civil War April 12, 1861: Midpoint Pictures and Hidden Hands.

Now as you know, both lunar and solar eclipses may be described as "wild cards of the Universe" because of their disruptive Uranian qualities such as the ability to upset apple carts and dislodge secrets and other inconvenient information that some would prefer kept hidden. And since a Lunar Eclipse involves the Moon with its correlation to the unconscious and the past (including one's previous actions, behavior, and scandals), we may expect more glaring leaks and uncovered secrets in and around August 2017 and afterward. These may apply in particular to the shrouded-in-secrets White House and its current denizens who are already under much pressure. Besides, that's where the Klan lurks behind every door.

And as various Confederate monuments are being removed in the US it occurs to me to wonder why the most offensive of all (imho)--the statue of Confederate Brigadier General, Freemason, and Klansman Albert Pike--remains on guard in Judiciary Square near the US Capitol Building where Congress meets 'to do the people's business'.

UPDATE July 1, 2020: Good news for fussy me! On June 19, 2020 the (creepy, offensive) statue of musty old Albert Pike was toppled! Follow the link to view a bi-wheel of the toppling horoscope with Pike's natals surrounding it.

So while Googling for information on Pike's memorial statue, I ran across something of a defense of Albert Pike and the long held assumption of his being a Luciferian due in part to his famous quote concerning Lucifer. Check it out, if you're interested, for the blog puts Pike's words into context and I shall leave it to you, dear reader, to form your own conclusion concerning this 'Knight of the Golden Circle'.

Plus, you're familiar with the reputed and infamous letter the 'exalted' Freemason Pike sent to Mazzini (founder of Sicily's Mafia) dated August 15, 1871. Here's an excerpt which actually describes much of the social changes and unrest currently in progress and instigated by the radicals haunting the White House halls and their enablers, public and private:

"We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery, and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure light...of Lucifer, brought finally into public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

Whether the letter was written by a luciferian Pike or not, its cunning is worthy of Lucifer-Satan's way of thinking--to seduce and take as many souls down with him as he goes as he possibly can. The letter goes on to promote the Masonic plan for World War III which turns up in 2017 as a frequent topic of concern and anxiety. Genuine or not, whoever penned the 1871 letter was, at the least, a master of run-on sentences.

So as Thomas Jefferson famously admitted, "I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just; that His justice cannot sleep forever." And so should we all. But somehow the ones perpetrating the Utopian plan of global horror and persuasion upon the world seem unconcerned as if their actions are above natural law. Wonder how shocked they'll be when it turns out that that is exactly what they are not and that they will be held accountable for their actions on Earth and how they oppressed and harmed the innocent...because karma's law of reaping what's been sown applies to every single one of us on Planet Earth...with no exemptions for politicians or bankers.

And this August 2017, either karmic retribution or progress will arrive in America in two forms: a Lunar Eclipse in Aquarius (August 7) which will tell us something about our reactions to Solar Eclipse events and conditions, and on August 21 the Total Solar Eclipse in Leo at a critical 29th degree ('The Great American Eclipse') conjunct the natal Ascendant of plotter Donald Trump, a denizen of the White House and a man who listens to self-described Satanist Mr. Bannon with his radical agenda to destroy the US government and rebuild the world in the image of Lucifer.

The August Leo Eclipse: a Potential Ruh-Roh for America

As always, eclipses may trigger disastrous weather and other natural events (ex: Mount St. Helen's is rumbling again, and storms, flooding, and fires are potentials) but there's more to consider because eclipses in Leo spotlight the need to exercise genuine leadership in whatever karmic situations and conditions manifest. Plus, a Leonine 'cosmic blink' suggests a paternal karmic link with an offspring (also denizens of the White House) and cautions against self-centered egocentricity, vainglory, ostentation, pomposity, pride, and other negative traits of the sign Leo--and there's a huge ruh-roh right there in the form of you-know-who.

How unfortunate for America and the world that her current 'leader' can't seem to avoid displaying his negative Leo traits in such constant abundance with his 29Leo Ascendant and Mars rising in Leo conjunct royal star Regulus. And in spite of the star's traditional or else caution, it's tragically predictable with Mr. Trump that revenge and retaliation will be taken which guarantees that at some point, all that's been gained shall be taken away.

Thom Hartmann on Economic & Labor News: 3/28/16

It's official: the United States of America is down the election integrity list (#47) thanks to those who infiltrate, sabotage, and drain the government bathwater for the sake of what they pretend is a 'larger cause'. Undermining confidence is a frequent method as operatives seek to dismantle America and further degrade society both here and abroad until a 'global solution' is shouted for. Will you allow it?

After all, Lucifer is charming and disarming as a character on TV but Satan is a lousy force to deal with in real life.

Dec 15, 2014: Bill of Rights Day as the Uranus-Pluto square perfects

Have You Total Awareness of Enslavement?

by Jude Cowell

Today is Bill of Rights Day in America for the Bill of Rights, the 'foundation of our liberty' was ratified 223 years ago on December 15, 1791.

In the heavens, this day is marked (or honored?) by the sixth of seven exact squares between the radical and rebellious combination of Uranus (America's totem planet of revolution) and ancient Pluto, planet of entrenched power, wealth, control, and manipulation--also known as The Pope, the assassin, and the saboteur. And you don't have to use Astrology to see the titanic, generational struggle for power going on now across the globe via civil rights protests and the challenges between political factions within the US government.

One of our nation's founders, Thomas Paine, believed that all monarchies were illegitimate and it saddens me that apathetic voters in November 2014 have allowed the new Congress of 2015 to welcome entrenched monarchistic forces of the power elite class--which includes monarchists--to take over the rule of our government leaving no room for the American people. The Uranus-Pluto motto of the day--I Can't Breathe applies to this case as well for We the People may find ourselves as a class devoid of breathe well before 2015 ends. I hope I'm wrong, but there it is--disagree if you will but I expect the machinations of Congress to take our collective breath away with its brutal draconian measures.

At 12:14 am ET today, Uranus in Mars-ruled Aries (anarchists, zealots, Utopians) and Pluto in Saturn-ruled Capricorn (dictators) squared one another at critical degrees of the two Cardinal (active, initiating) signs. The seventh and last of their dynamic squares will occur at 10:54 pm ET on March 16, 2015 (not on March 17, as previously stated.)

Additionally, transit Uranus in Aries has moved into orb of opposition to US natal Saturn, planet of government, law, and business, and signifying the lawmakers of Congress among others. This is an indicator of a 'new order (Uranus) supplanting the 'old order' (Saturn, the status quo', the Establishment), another factor clearly demonstrated by ongoing Capitol Hill dramas and the grandstanding of zealous gasbag wrench-throwers such as Mr. Cruz.

So given the current shaking of the 'foundation of our liberty' on this Bill of Rights Day 2014, we shall see what the "party of the rich man" (as Harry Truman plainly called them), the Republican Party--along with an out-of-bounds Supreme Court, a complicit Democratic Party, the White House, and all their happy little backers with anti-democratic foreign allegiances--have in store for our seemingly 'free society'.

And all their shady plans may crescendo at the 2016 presidential election during which yet another of the Bush Crime Family may be encrowned within the Venusian Oval Office and under orders to do the will of 'New World Order' global bosses of a satanic-luciferian nature, usually identified as the Bavarian Illuminati (officially formed on May 1, 1776) with its eye-over-pyramid symbol placed in full view upon the US dollar bill (by Illuminati agent, FDR) and glaringly used as a symbol on America's Great Seal.

Will the Global Crime Syndicate Have its Way?

The ancient plan of Francis Bacon ('The New Atlantis") and others, promoted in the 1800s by Albert Pike (the only Confederate General with a statue in Washington DC, his body entombed in a vault a few blocks from the White House) marches on toward Global Government and they want us to believe this is inevitable. And considering that the American populace, weakened in so many ways, shows such apathy and a willful lack of awareness of what these zealots and crooks are perpetrating upon America and the world through their 'Total Awareness' program, it may be that inevitability is a pretty good bet.

Chiron in Pisces: the Allegiance of Barack Obama

Of course I voted for him--there was no other choice possible!

by Jude Cowell

But is it true that President Barack Obama's Allegiance Is Not to America and God But to the New World Order and Satan?

Besides noting the warring events and assassinations which a majority of the American people have not sanctioned or asked for, we may wish to establish a 'goat-hand-signal watch' as the above linked article does with several links to beastly photos (Obama, Mrs. Obama, the Pope, Dubya, and others) which may then cause a revision of our opinions of US 'leaders' to include the possibility that psychopaths run things in the US and across the globe, and they are serving, not the interests of The People (as we know they are not), but Satan's interests in establishing a totalitarian 'new world order' to promote and extend Lucifer's dominion of the world.

(Aka, 'one-world-government' or 'NWO'. The terms 'Satan' and 'Lucifer' are here used interchangeably though their adherents may see differences between them. Since both intend major harm to mankind, I'm using the same brush for each.)

Capricorn the Labyrinth and Chiron in Pisces

Without going into too much astrological detail, we know that *50-year old President Obama was born with a 1st house Chiron in mystical Pisces, the placement of astral interference, mentorship, and a crisis over connecting with the God force(Clow.)

Thing is, mankind has free will and can choose to serve the god of death instead of the Living God. So I ask you: do drones raining death on innocent children around the world sound like a commander-in-chief worshiping a God of Life--or a god of death?

Chiron rules intense mystical experiences and spiritual ecstasy and never more so than when posited in Jupiter/Neptune-ruled Pisces, sign of the Two Fishes--one swimming upward to the heights, one swimming downward into the gutter. Chiron in Pisces hears the Flute of Pan, a different tune than most people march or dance to.

The Pan-esque lyrics in his head are supported in Mr. Obama's natal chart by his Saturn Rx in Capricorn, strong in its own sign of The Goat (goat-hand-symbols included.) As you know, the entire sign of Capricorn is a labyrinth whose ancient symbol is the Mer-Goat.

(Rx Saturn indicates the absent or weak father.)

Plus, Mr. Obama's natal Chiron is opposed by powerful Pluto in Virgo, a placement that makes living a trivial life impossible and increases interest in and talent for mystical, if Underworldly, realms. And of course, the Pluto/Chiron pair signifies Plutocracy, oppression, disenfranchisement, environmentalism, racism, socialism-communism-capitalism, etc.


Constellation Capricornus

Aratus called this constellation the Horned Goat (the hand symbol our leaders are fond of sending out to Satan's minions.) In Syria, Persia, and Arabia, it was known as the goat-footed Pan, and as early as 1,000 B.C.E., the goat had taken on a fish tail.

(As you know, asteroid Pan has been traveling in tandem with asteroid MIDAS, the gold-hoarder, for some time now and both conjoin US natal Uranus 8Gem55; Pan = panic, panorama, pandemic, Pan-American, etc.)

The sea-goat or goat-fish was known in ancient Babylonia as the god Ea, protector of his people (oh the irony)--He of Vast Intellect and Lord of the Sacred Eye. In fact, he was an Osiris-like god who cared, educated, and civilized his people.

(Personally, I don't find the threat of death-dealing drones to be very civilizing, do you?)

Ea became ruler of the earth after castrating his father Apsu, and he ruled from the waters from which the great rivers flow. Later his brother Bel sent a great deluge (the precession of a sign through the equinoxes) to wipe out the population and "start a new world order" (Brady's Predictive Astrology.) The myth goes that it was Ea who saved our bacon by urging mankind to build an ark and you know the rest of the story with God's rainbow at the end.

The ancient Ea myth goes on to relate him to fish (for obvious reasons) but also to a snake which turned up in the Garden of Eden to tempt mankind into eating the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

(And evil has been fighting over this corrupted world ever since.)

So the myth goes, wherever Ea roamed upon the earth, he took the form of a goat, and was called by some (the gullible!) the "Father of Light" which is precisely what satanists and luciferians of our day say of their goatish idol, The Beast. All the way back to 15,000 B.C.E., Ea's celebrations were carried on by participants wearing goatskins, a habit that would elicit howls of laughter in today's Washington. But tossing out a goat hand symbol? Not so funny.

Now we all know that early Jews considered the goat to be sacred and placed their sins upon a scapegoat each year and sent it out into the desert to die for them--an archetypal ritual of The Messiah dying for our sins. By Christian times, the goat, the snake, and the Horned One represented the essence of evil so having our national leaders signifying their allegiance with a goat hand symbol may not surprise those of us who think the government of the United States has gone the way of The Goat--down into the darkest of gutters.

The stars of Capricorn are quite faint but there is one that is used in Astrology charts, Deneb Algedi (or, Giedi, the horn of the goat, Delta Capricornus), and its themes are lawgiver, life and death, sorrow and happiness, beneficence and destructiveness. (Brady.)

Unfortunately for the entire world, Barack Obama seems to be playing on the side of the death and destruction team as the current leader in establishing a new world order. Remember the attacks of 9/11/01 when Osama bin Laden called America "The Great Satan"?

Well, Satan always accuses himself of doing evil just to confuse us over who's representing him on earth!

Barack Obama: August 4, 1961 7:24 pm AHST Honolulu, Hawaii; Sun Leo/Moon Gemini indicates a 'cool-headed charmer' with a tendency to rationalize (most anything, one assumes--like drones over babies and XL Pipelines over a major water aquifer.)

*Age 50 is the time frame for Chiron's Return to natal position--for Mr. Obama, it's 5Pis19--Rx, which deepens Chiron's catabolic action within the psyche.

As listed previously, here are the five-fer conjunctions for President Obama of his Chiron Return which began in May 2011 and ends in December 2012:

2. June 27, 2011 Rx
3. February 26, 2012
4. October 19, 2012 Rx
5. December 10, 2012

As you see, #4 and #5 snugly sandwich around the 2012 Elections. And as the president goes, so goes the nation.

The New Age, Occult Symbolism, the Lucis Trust (video)

No comment. Just watch, if you're of a mind to look under rocks at very ugly squirmy things and the people who implement them. And you don't have to be an astrologer, mundane or otherwise, to do that.

Violence during G20 Toronto riots perpetrated by police

Well, just as I was beginning to wonder when or if the story of police operatives and provocateurs being the source of the violence at the recent G20 Summit in Toronto, here it turns up predictably.

'Predictably' because it's typical that violence erupts during citizen protests at such gatherings for the G8, G20, the Bilderberg cabals, IMF meetings (protesters were arrested in DC at their April 26, 2009 meeting), etc. And perhaps the most well-documented example, the media-dubbed Battle in Seattle of November 30, 1999 is a case in point and should be studied by any citizen planning to participate in demonstrations against these high-handed, secretive groups during their planning sessions.

The Seattle violence and arrests are shown in the film of that name as the WHO met just one month prior to the Great Conjunction of Pluto and Chiron (Dec 30, 1999 @ '12Sag') which is often used as the degree of America's natal Ascendant (ASC = the country itself) from the Sibly version of our nation's birth chart (July 4, 1776 5:10 pm LMT, Philadelphia.)

But whether you use the Sibly chart or not, the Sabian Symbol for the '12Sag' conjunction of the plutocrat-oppression-corporatism-primal violence pair of Pluto/Chiron tells a shabby tale of the ushering in of the New Millennium, as we have seen, with the haves vs have-nots uppermost in society. Why, one of the Pluto/Chiron pair's favorite hobbies is advancing class warfare. (Most people can now admit its class warfare since Financial Collapse 2008, though some still have blinders on.)

'12Sag' = "A Flag That Turns Into an Eagle That Crows"...Keynote: The spiritualization and promotion of great symbols of a New Age by minds sensitive to its precursory manifestations. ANNUNCIATION. (An Astrological Mandala, Rudhyar.)

Yeah, their arrogant minds are 'sensitive' all right! And they assume themselves high above the rabble as they hide behind miles of protective barriers to talk privately and without disturbance about the futures of the rest of us.

Obviously, this word picture refers to the American totem, the Eagle.

But fortunately for the so-called and much-touted 'New Age' favored by the one-world-government promoters - and unfortunately for the rest of the world now having totalitarianism shoved down its throat - the eagle was also the symbol of the fallen Roman Empire. My guess is that that's what NWO engineers are counting on in order to build the world back in the ugly, misshapen image of their preference. Surveillance of the people has always been a major part of the game around here (US natal Mercury in Cancer opposite n Pluto in Capricorn; US n Ceres - security and domestic issues - conjunct US n Pluto/Chiron.)

As you know, in Astrology Pluto is said to transform - and decrees that things must be completely destroyed so they may be built back 'upon the ruins'. Now this is a universal principle which the Tarot mentions, too, particularly with the #16 card, The Tower, the meaning of which perfectly describes the attacks of 9/11/01.

So as we look into the future, what will happen to all the minions who helped the NWOers along the way? Imho, they will be shocked to find they have no clout at all in the end and that their complicity and soul-selling were all for naught - unless they're part of the inner sanctum of the select few of earthly power elites.

For after all, that's one of the many dark secrets about worshiping Satan (or 'Lucifer' if you prefer) - he never takes care of his own nor fulfills his glowing promises. For it simply is not in his self-serving nature.

Senator Mitch McConnell on video

Oh this is mean of me to publish this old video from the RNC 2008 showing Senator Mitch McConnell looking how he looks best...

You may wish to check out the senator's natal chart if you haven't yet: Sun in confusing, mystical Pisces, Moon in either feisty, pioneering Aries or complacent, stubborn Taurus.

The post also displays the 'frictional' synastry grid between the natal charts of Sen. McConnell and President Obama. Funny how the Republicans keep seeming to forget: they lost. And eight years of their mis-rule were way too many for all but their fondest Kool-Aid drinkers and the 'elite base' - so GOP political futures must now depend upon the oft-mythologized American public as having a "short memory."

Maybe You Do, But I Don't

Ah, eight years of Bush! Remember the old accusation: congressional Republicans are spending like 'drunken sailors'? Why yes, they did! And look at all we don't have to show for it. Except for war, war, and more war...that, they're still doing. But funds for the people's needs? "Too expensive," in chorus, coming primarily from the Republican side of the aisle like parrots repeating a rich man's mantra.

Well, hopefully, in the November 2010 elections, the American voting public will remember the condition of our tattered, less free, bankrupted nation as that vampiric duo, Bush and Cheney, cleared out the rest of the US Treasury and skulked out of Washington, with ill-gained loot dripping from their bloody claws.

Why speak so graphically? Because if you're going to worship Lucifer and do his bidding, you have to expect such craven descriptions of your criminal activities.
