Obama administration turns heavy-handed with reporter

Whoa, it seems the Obama administration has a beef against a free press. Or should a reporter breaking a politician's rule be overlooked?

This incident could resound in a loud tsk tsk upon the administration's promised transparency. But they all promise transparency as they walk in the White House door, don't they? Old secrets await them and new secrets pile up as the presidential days tick by.

And isn't it funny about the word, free?

The job market in the US has been decimated in recent decades by so-called free trade (and its elusive "benefits" for the ruling class) while undermining forces have worked to consolidate, control content, and thus destroy America's free press. So trade that isn't free is called free and a free press becomes enslaved = non-free, yet is called a free press.

Doublespeaks Alive!

To me it seems tragic that the current crop of reptilian power-grabbers of the world were ever allowed to read George Orwell's novels because they apparently took his doom-filled prophecies of a totalitarian state to heart and have used that and other knowledge as their How-To guide toward global enslavement.

While I first read Orwell in high school and was horrified at his vision of the future, they read him and were inspired to take action against all mankind.

Funny how different people can be.


Now here's some of the 'offensive' video...asking Where's Our Change?



And I heartily agree with them: Free Bradley Manning, Mr. President!

Zeeks, There's a Royal Wedding on My TV!

Sure enough, on schedule, the car carrying now-Kathryn Middleton to Westminster Abbey and into the arms of her royal fate arrived there at 11:00 am London Time (6:00 am EDT) and though I am no monarchist, I couldn't resist posting one of my Wedding Day Astrology Reports using an 11:00 am horoscope, if you wish to have a view and read a few brief notes on their partnership based on Astrology's 'marriage' pair of lights, the Sun (male) and Moon (female.)

11:20 am: the Archbishop of Canterbury pronounces them man and wife.

Whew! Glad that's done. The rest of the day should be a coast. My felicities to the happy couple!

Was the May 1 Times Square bomb attempt a 'drill'?

For those who feel that the investigation and quick arrest of a suspect in the May 1, 2010 Times Square car bomb attempt seems a little too 'easy' to accept at face value, you may wish to consider the possibility that the Times Square bomb attempt was actually a 'drill'. Eyewitnesses have that impression.

Hmmm...if so, this would give May 1 shades of 9/11 and Cheney's actions on that morning, but with different results. It would also give the Obama administration firm footing inside the exploitation-of-the-masses door of Politics.

This must be why I'm paying little attention to the GOP's 'May 1st is Obama's Katrina' crap...er, I mean, propaganda. This undermining of a Dem president may be little more than political factions vying and lying to be top dog - and vice versa!

Astrology of Yemen and the President's address 1.7.10

Just a quick heads-up that a post concerning the natal chart of South Yemen and the Oct 12, 2000 bombing of the USS Cole is now published and includes some details on President Obama's address today which began at 4:35 pm est and ended at 4:47 pm with the Pentagon's natal ASC rising (15Can37; the *Pentagon is currently experiencing a Uranus-to-natal-Venus transit when unusual alliances are formed and interactions with others are unpredictable and/or erratic.)

The President spoke today during an Hour of Mercury, good for announcements and orations, yet with Mercury Rx 10Cap17 one has to wonder especially since Mercury was setting at 4:35 pm, with tr Uranus conjunct tr Mc '24Pisces' and Mr. Obama's natal Mars at Ic, the Foundation of the Matter. (He did sound more than a little peeved, didn't he? His agency directors are to be 'held responsible' in future, he said.)

Having his natal Mars at Ic means that US natal Neptune was there as well, so we might infer a midpoint picture or two (any, all, or none may apply):

Mars/Neptune = tr Mc: success in pushing your ideas; integrating the message of your dreams to help overcome your anger; a state of weakness.

Mars/Neptune = tr Uranus: unusual stamina to speed up the outcome of activities; an unconventional approach to forcing idealism or socialism on others; a noisy rebellion against aggravating visions forced by others; a crisis; sudden weaknesses suddenly emerge; an accident. (Munkasey; Ebertin.)

Well, Mr. Obama ended his address with the speculator duo, Jupiter and Neptune, in 8th house of Shared Resources and Debt so his remark that more money would now be spent on explosive detectors makes sense...and another bottomless money pit opens underneath US taxpayers.

NPR has the text of the President's address in case you missed it.

Bill Richardson bows out Obama regrets

BBC News reported at 4:30 pm est that Bill Richardson has pulled out of the Obama adminstration's team.

He's out of the cabinet and blowin' in the political wind but says he will remain governor of New Mexico. Whoo! This is quite a game of musical chairs a la 2009, isn't it?

Here you may view Richardson's natal chart which was published here so promisingly just one month ago (insert slight tone of sarcasm.)
