July 22, 2013: a new Mars-Jupiter cycle begins @5Can54
Mars joins US natal Jupiter at '6Cancer' = "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests"
by Jude Cowell
The current Mars-Jupiter cycle began with their conjunction @22Ari20 on May 1, 2013, the day President Obama announced the assassination of Osama bin Laden, former CIA asset, and said to be the mastermind behind the tragic attacks of 9/11/01.
This month, that cycle nears its end as a new cycle of activity of a Mars-Jupiter nature will soon begin and it falls upon the day of America's Jupiter Return, July 22, 2013. Therefore, this indicates a Mars-to-natal-Jupiter transit for our nation, a time when plans may be exaggerated or expanded (including military actions) and/or there may be improvement in finances, more cultural or spiritual awareness, and/or someone's social status may be lifted. An increased appreciation for comfort and luxury may also be in evidence as the motivation (Mars) toward gaining such comfort is encouraged (Jupiter.) Yes, grand actions may be taken (as on May 1, 2011) and they may be broadcast (Jupiter), too--an 'announcement of military action' may be indicated or heralded on or around July 22, 2013 thanks to the combined energies of Mars (troops; police force) and Jupiter (the General--or, Commander-in-Chief.)
Now since this is a Political Astrology blog, it may be worth noting that in Politics and Business, the combined energies of the Mars-Jupiter duo denotes potentials for:
'Action taken in response to legal judgments; advice that inflames or angers others; too much legal activity or opinions; legislative actions regarding sports; religious activities or festivals (Thesis); Antithesis: misuse of forces when engaging others; an expansion in military hardware; legal opinions which affect the military or metal industries; judgment of enemies seeking to do battle.' (paraphrasing Midpoints: Unleashing the Power of the Planets, Munkasey).
To paraphrase Ebertin, the Mars-Jupiter combination may include: 'fortunate decisions, love of enterprise, fortunate business dealings, capable organizers, propagandists, jurists or writers on law, legal academicians, concentration upon an objective, rebellion against rules and regulations, settlement of conflicts, managing directors of firms or companies, civil servants and government officials'. Ambition and coping ability may also be added to the Mars-Jupiter list.
A horoscope of May 1, 2011 shows some interesting midpoint pictures to consider:
Mars-Pluto = Neptune, a picture of cunning, deceit, and harm caused to others secretly; Jupiter-Pluto = Neptune: cheating, deceiving, and seducing others (into believing that bin Laden was killed by US forces?), suffering damage or loss without being aware of it; a general disappointment (Ebertin.)
Plus, the Mars-Jupiter conjunction itself was at apex of midpoint:
Sun-Uranus = Mars: hasty physical actions (the bin Laden raid?), injury, accidents; and, Sun-Uranus = Jupiter: successful reformers, inventors, or technicians.
A titanic 'generational midpoint' was also in effect on May 1, 2011 and seems to relate to the bin Laden raid, protests across the globe, and to whatever you can name including bad actions taken on Capitol Hill in 2011, a year of fiscal stalemates that continue apace:
Saturn-Uranus = Pluto: acts of violence or brutality, overcoming a difficult situation through extraordinary effort, harm through force majeure, and/or rebellion against one's lot in life.
As for the upcoming Mars-Jupiter conjunction of July 22, 2013, a few midpoint pictures apply though we may not guess how their energies will express on the physical plane--if they manifest at all:
July 22, 2013: Venus-Pluto = Saturn describes immorality or tragic relationships, plus, Venus-Pluto denotes such things as intensely passionate obsessions, wealth hidden in secret places, and/or issues concerning bankruptcy.
'Old v new' Saturn-Uranus again, but this time with an apex Moon (the public; We the People) which signifies separations (esp from females--are there any ladies left in the misogynistic Republican Party?), inconstancy, strong emotional strains and tension, and a sudden desire for liberation from said emotional strains.
Last but not least is the tiresomely ongoing picture of Neptune-NN = Pluto which describes circumstances in which various perspectives don't blend well with that of others, isolation from societal influences, and the use of destructive forces to protect privacy. (Munkasey.)
The Neptune-North Node pair relates to spies and/or terrorists, deceit toward the public, leaders who ignore the demands of the people (exs: America, Egypt), inadequate medical care or ill-adapted hospital facilities, and/or scandals caused by foreign concerns.
And of course, Pluto is a master spy and propagandist in his Cape of Invisibility so we may take the Neptune-NN-Pluto trio as denoting the current embroilment with Washington and Russia over NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden and the US government's naughty spying on all our communications--even after the Bush-Cheney T.I.A (Total Information Awareness) program with its creepy Illuminati logo was alleged to be discontinued yet was only hidden away with its massive funding now listed under "classified."
But I never believed that the TIA program ended when they said it did, did you? Turns out, it didn't--check out Before PRISM There was Total Information Awareness by MSNBC's Chris Hayes.

Jon Stewart on the GOP v Obama v bin Laden (video 5/2/12)
Now I hope you didn't miss Jon Stewart on The Daily Show last evening concerning the big bowl of sour grapes Republicans are serving over President Obama's taking credit for the Osama bin Laden raid of May 1, 2011 but in case you did:
Campaign 2012 and the Republicans! Which means never saying anything positive about your opponent even if it's deserved--especially when it's The One you swore to undermine at every turn no matter how your intransigence and gimickery imperils our nation.

Week of May 23, 2011: Congress gavels in @ 2 pm edt
US natal Neptune 22Vir25 (planet of illusion, deception, fraud, and inspiration) is the first US planet to rise and it brings along our national and problematic Mars/Neptune square.
At 2:00 pm edt, May 23, 2011, chart-ruler Mercury 11Tau35 has just passed from 9th house into the Big Business 8th H of Shared Resources, Other People's Money, Debt, Credit, Insurance, and Transformation; also in 8th H are Venus 9Tau30, Mars 9Tau19, and Jupiter 27Ari29, with ideological, money-and-corporate-minded Jupiter the significator of the Republican Party. Jupiter's Sabian Symbol tallies with the American people's low approval rating for the US Congress: '28Ari' = "A Large Audience Confronts the Performer Who Disappoints Its Expectations."
8th cusp is also at a critical-crisis degree @ 12Ari19...'13Aries' = "A Unsuccessful Bomb Explosion" (which relates to 'a waste of opportunity and a futile expenditure of of self through vanity or petulance."
As for chart-ruler Mercury (planet of voting, negotiations, oration, trade, commerce, and thinking processes) makes no applying aspect to a planet in the gavel-in chart for May 23, 2011 and this sets the tone for how things will proceed this week in the House of Representatives: it doesn't. Or, everything depends on Mercury's house and sign placements, and its degree symbolism (see below.)
However, Mercury does trine the critical-degreed Ascendant (2:00 pm edt) whose Sabian Symbols (let's check out '17' and '18' Virgo) may give us word pictures of interest since they describe the WHAT? Point (ASC) of Congress' gaveling-in, the legislative session itself; Mercury also rules the Goal Point of the chart (MC 15Gem14):
'17Vir' = "A Volcano in Eruption"...EXPLOSION: negative expression: petulance and tantrum.
'18Vir' = "A Ouija Board"...ACUMEN: neg/unconscious/shadow side: a bondage to superstition and a surrender to the unknown.
Another factor of note is law-making Saturn 10Lib47 Rx in 1st house, a delay-restriction factor for the week (see: Congress agrees with Obama today to delay trade deals); plus, US natal Saturn 14Lib48 is in 2nd H of Earning Ability and Values in this chart; August 28, 2011 will be the 3rd of 3 'hits' of our national Saturn Return when accountability and responsibility issues look large when one hasn't acted honestly in the past. America's chickens of the debt persuasion are coming home to roost with our debt ceiling concerns looming large this summer, and the GOP's proposed austere budget (Saturn) cuts (Mars, in money sign Taurus conjunct evaluating Venus in 8th H.)
South Node, a point of separation and past behaviors too often depended upon, is in 10th H of Public Status, Saturn's natural house; Jupiter rules IC of Endings (and Real Estate) where NN (future direction) is posited along with wealthy saboteur Pluto 7Cap02 Rx, an actor who has been very busy deposing Saturnian leaders across the globe.
Sun 2Gem16 in 9th H of Philosophy, Religion, Higher Education, and Foreign Lands, is at a degree associated with the French Revolution...'3Gem' = "The Garden of the Tuileries"...LUXURY...neg: complete selfishness and a joy lording it over others. (The Sun is in process of conjoining and thus spotlighting President Obama's natal Moon in Gemini.)
The Moon (we-the-people; daily life; publicity) is @ 20AQ38 in 6th H of Daily Rounds, Work, Service, and Health; this indicates that Americans have a Lunar Return today depending on which version of the US natal chart you prefer for July 4, 1776 (natal Moon ranges on that date from 18AQ to 28AQ.) Also in 6th H are the traveling Neptune/Chiron duo, both moving direct now in mystical Pisces.
Disruptive, radical Uranus 3Ari41 in 7th H still travels with Hermes, an archetype of the Magician, Shaman, and Astrologer; the opposition between Saturn and Uranus (the duo connected with Palestine and Israel so those issues continue) has a 7 degr 6 min orb and will continue to separate after Saturn's Direct Station on Jun 12, 2011 @ 10Lib27 and Mr. Lesson-Bringer begins to move forward.
Mercury's Sabian Symbol is of note: '12Tau' = "A Young Couple Walking Down Main Street Window-Shopping" and we already know the topics relating to this degree: consumer purchasing or the lack thereof, our hope for consumer protections, and America's Main Street which the US Congress and others have sacrificed on the altar of corrupt, greedy Wall Street, the denizens of which should by law, be in jail.
Well, let's close with a few details concerning today's Sun-Moon blend with which Congress begins its week; it's an elegant and mental Air-Air combo of energies.
Sun Gem-Moon AQ is bright and light yet can be sober and serious. Wit, intelligence, and curiosity are indicated along with restlessness and perhaps the gift of prophecy. (Gemini brings The Good News, or is meant to.)
Finding a middle way resolves the blend's paradoxes of Spring vs Mid-Winter approaches; being fascinated with what makes people tick, this blend is one of life's great spectators and is a combo good for writing, speaking, and poetry. In business, opportunities can easily be spotted due to objectivity, cleverness, and a capacity for seeing the Big Picture.
Negatively, there can be a tendency to talk way too much (in Congress?!) while neglecting life's grittier realities (ours); a lack of connection with the dark and painful aspects of the self may be evident.
Images for Integration (of the Sun's Conscious Mind blended with the Lunar Unconscious):
"Sherlock Holmes...A scientist suddenly sees the caterpillar, chrysalis, and butterfly as one single being...Wagner's 'Der Ring des Nibelungen'."
(Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Charles and Suzi Harvey.)
That last image reminds me of what Mark Twain said when asked his opinion after he'd sat through a Wagner opera for the first time. To paraphrase: 'Wagner's music is better than it sounds.'
May the US Congress rise to the occasion on behalf of the American people who sent them to Capitol Hill expecting better outcomes than they've yoked us with over the last several years.

Alert! The broad expansion of presidential power being slipped into the upcoming defense authorization act will 'blow up the US Constitution' says, Thom Hartmann, and I totally agree - with endless war a predictable result - which US leaders aspire to.
The president's ability to assassinate any terrorist (or those deemed by the US government to be terrorists) anywhere in the world including the US is about to be slipped through Congress greased (they hope) by the much-touted May 1, 2011 assassination of Osama bin Laden. This naked US power grab answers the question many have asked since May 1st:
Why go after bin Laden now?
Imho, this reveals an ongoing, long term, cynical agenda for establishing global domination, m'peops (as I've typed so many times before - I'm fatigued with it, too), and it includes Jerusalem as World Capital in their NWO totalitarian plan.

A fake bin Laden story? (video); the Reaganomics Eclipse of 1981
Osama bin Laden rehearsing with a blackened beard (which looks fake to me!) Audio has not been included.
Original post begins here:
Now I'm definitely not the only one entertaining doubts about the US government's shifting story of the Osama bin Laden raid and assassination in Pakistan.
Did a raid take place? I believe so with purloining of computers and documents the possible target and goal (either to garner intell - or to destroy it.) But was Osama bin Laden himself on-site? Maybe, maybe not. This could explain how the White House situation room crew, including the President, could have watched the raid on a live feed, yet are said not to have witnessed the actual killing of bin Laden.
Well, economist and journalist Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Treasury official in the Reagan administration and 'father of Reaganomics' (see Reaganomics Eclipse's horoscope link, below), has his own doubts which he shares here.
And as I've mentioned before, my opinion is that when the mainstream media gets its fat self piled onto a huge bandwagon to promote a particular story or event 24/7 (9/11, Financial Collapse 2008, etc), be wary of their coordinated corporate propaganda for we are most probably being scammed or, at the least, the whole truth is not being revealed in order to protect the guilty while promoting the US imperialist agenda.
My latest thought is that rather than using bin Laden's demise as justification for ending America's war on the Middle East, it will be used to further the one-world-government cabal's Endless War agenda. Whether this is correct, we'll soon know, won't we? For war expansions and extensions will turn up in the MSM as the so-called War on Terror marches on and our freedoms in the US continue to be deleted as elsewhere across the globe.
Part 1 of 2:
Part 2 of 2:
~:~
As Dr. Roberts notes, such tactics continue to be used by the US government because they work. "Remember the USS Maine", "Remember Pearl Harbor", and so on, as we're lead in a wrong direction by a frothed-up, emotion-based patriotism into conflict - and diplomacy be da*ned. A more recent example is the Bush-Cheney administration's well-timed release of a bin Laden video threatening America just before the 2004 presidential election.
And with the US public ever mindful of its safety and security, it worked and war hawk neocons were elected. (They couldn't be 're-elected' in 2004 since it was a corrupt SCOTUS who installed them in 2000.)
Blogging in America
So just after the bin Laden raid in Pakistan on May 1, 2011, I posted here about my misgivings over the story's truthiness and was informed by an Anonymous commenter that I was being waaay too cynical. Now it's 6 days later during which the White House's version of the raid has morphed and re-morphed - and I don't think I've been cynical enough. Thus, this posting of Dr. Roberts' own misgivings today. If you have about 20 minutes to spare, listen to his opinion and see what you believe for yourself!
Personally I don't completely agree with all of what he says, but it's worth a listen if you're concerned about who will be the next US president and the possible propagandistic tactics meant to assure it.
Actually, this situation reminds me of some of the chart factors in the May 17, 2011 Full Moon Horoscope (a New Moon chart for May 3, 2011 is shown, too, both set for Washington DC) particularly a midpoint picture with fraudulent, deceptive Neptune in its own murky sign of Pisces (which is also a sign of the military and Neptune's 'fog of war'.) The revealing picture contains the energies of the World Banker/Pentagon/Wheeler-Dealer duo of expansive Jupiter, (aka, the General) and powerful, subversive, super-wealthy Pluto, planet of assassination and secret control...
Jupiter/Pluto = Neptune: the inclination to deceive others; cheating and seducing; suffering damage from others without being aware of it; a general disappointment; confused plans or goals; adjusting the data; omitting key facts; working a situation into one's own agenda. (Ebertin; Munkasey; Tyl.)
In addition, Michael Munkasey's details on the Jupiter/Pluto midpoint's potentials within Politics and Business seem applicable to the US raid carried out in Pakistan whose government was either involved or not involved and either knew or didn't know that bin Laden was hunkered down in their neighborhood for years - or, was already dead:
Thesis: Pacts or relations with foreigners on the use of force or weapons; the growth of security or spy agencies (doesn't the world have enough? jc); greater power for religious leaders; a society that wields much influence; extreme depletion of resources.
Antithesis: Self-destructive forces which stem from official corruption or moral laxity within a society; extremely potent natural disasters (those we're experiencing - such as along the banks of the mighty Mississippi River as I type - jc); criminal elements with great social influence (yep! and many of them are on Wall Street, in DC, and in world capitals - jc); destruction of legal documents.
Now I don't enjoy fussing about President Obama's intentions or motivations but I should add here two midpoint pictures now formed in his Secondary Progressions, one of which sits upon US natal MC (Midheaven, The Goal, @ 00Lib53, a World Point of Manifestation - Sibly chart)...any, all, or none may apply as usual...
Sec Mars/Pluto = Sun: a strong, unyielding will; achievements attained by superior technique or endurance; violent measures; a shock caused by a Higher Power.
Sec Mars/Pluto = US natal MC: unusual capabilities for advancement in life; facing overwhelming force without power; danger; an operation; learning to gain control and use powerful or extreme measures for increasing your status or standing (in the polls? jc); fulfillment of certain ambitions by attaining influence.
And the picture in Mr. Obama's Progressed chart that has concerned me since Inauguration 2009:
Sec Saturn/NN = Neptune: deceit within friendship given; having to pay a price for help which is higher than expected (sounds like a secret society call-in of favors, doesn't it?); feeling misunderstood; falsehood, fraud, and deception.
Well, there you have my grousings for today. Blogger ate part of this post so I had to reconstruct/recompose it since I tend to type my posts spontaneously. Also, Blogger's spell-check feature is on the blink so you're sure to find typos...please pardon.
And yes, I dissent because I care: about America, her future, and the American people...aka, my fellow Americans.
For if I wish to sleep at night, how can I do any less?

Solar Eclipse January 4, 2011: from May 2011's perch
Making a flash appearance here to moderate comments, I find some interest has occurred in a previous post still current by topic which concerns America and the Solar Eclipse of January 4, 2011, the Series in which the world now twists and turns.
The post includes some thoughts on the US Saturn Return now ongoing (with its accountability-responsibility themes: in our Sag Rising chart/s, US Saturn is in 10th house = fall from grace if dependable Saturn is *not honored) and three interesting quotes with articles links, so if you wish, check it out with fresh eyes now informed by events which have occurred so far in 2011 including the assassination of Osama bin Laden, a Scorpionic event if there ever was one.
And on a lighter note, tonight is the can't-miss season finale of Fringe and with its Scorpionic-Aquarian parallel-worlds theme, the episode is sure to be a doozy!

*examples of historical figures with 10th house Saturns include Richard Nixon and Adolf Hitler both of whom experienced quite some falls from grace, yes?

Doubting the bin Laden assassination story?
The Agendas Behind the Bin Laden News Event
By Paul Craig Roberts
In Washington-think, a 24% rise in approval rating justifies a staged event. #
Justice? Revenge? False flag op? News event to boost approval ratings and a 2012 election ploy? Siege of Waco and Stand-Off at Ruby Ridge deja-vu? Is our nation's Mars/Neptune square expressing its 'deceptive motivations and actions' side? Or, was it an 'honest' and 'successful' assassination (as if killing is something to crow about)? What do you think?
Further reading: Wiki's Waco Siege page.

Timeline of the bin Laden assassination: Pluto Rising
Though I've been studying horoscopes of the event I've held back from posting about it and have since found it better to use the chart provided by Bernadette Brady with Moon 24Ari08 and 8Cap39 rising with saboteur and assassin Pluto 7Cap22 Rx, along with the brittle energy of the sometimes dangerous Saturn/Uranus midpoint; Sun is @ 11Tau01 (SolarFire software gives me 11:02.)
To create an event chart that tallies with Ms. Brady's version, I must use:
May 1, 2011 6:14:54 pm GMT Abbottabad, Pakistan.
It is an Hour of the fluctuating Moon, a symbol of the Middle East when in Crescent phase, and 2 days prior to the New Moon 12Tau30 of May 3rd ('13Tau' = "A Man Handling Baggage." Now I don't intend to be ghoulish but a body bag slipped into the Arabian Sea does come to mind.)
Therefore, at the WHAT? Point of the horoscope (ASC) there are two midpoint pictures formed:
Saturn/Uranus = Pluto: acts of violence or brutality (now we have a specific world event that is well-described by this ongoing midpoint picture and T-Square pointing to Pluto the Assassin); concealing changes to activities (by keeping the mission mum from Pakistani officials); harm through force majeure; a desire to overcome a difficult situation through extraordinary effort (US Navy Seals.)
Saturn/Uranus = ASC: being placed in difficult circumstances; the fate of standing alone in the world; suffering hardship caused by others; shared emotional suffering; mourning and bereavement.
The May 1, 2011 assassination falls within the 13 North Solar Eclipse Series which manifested on January 4, 2011 @ 13Cap38/39 and which heralded a potential for a 'central event having wide-range impact' for the US government (Capricorn, sign of government) with 13Cap38 opposing US natal Sun (leadership.)
Since there are many versions of natal horoscopes for Osama bin Laden due to conflicting dates of birth, I've never published a chart for him because Lunar Calendar births are not always easy to rectify into a Solar Calendar such as we use in Western Astrology, even when a correct birth date is known. And I may decide to never publish bin Laden's assassination chart either.
My hope is that President Obama will stand by his decision today not to release photos of the man whose legend can still launch a thousand suicide bombers and I agree heartily with those who say that releasing the photos would only act as a recruiting tool without providing doubters evidence that would sway them if they're determined to remain unswayed (or pretending they doubt or critique for political reasons - the 2012 election cometh. Have you heard it yet? Bush couldn't. Obama not only can, he did.)
One more astro-note: at Barack Obama's natal Midheaven during this event, I noticed an interesting asteroid with an archetype which may indeed apply to our nation's 10-year quixotic search for Osama bin Laden:
Sisyphus, the Determined.

A stroll down Memory Lane soon finds a George W. Bush giving up on finding bin Laden quite quickly or at least he spun it that way in March 2002:
"Who knows if he's hiding in some cave or not. We haven't heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He's just a person who's been marginalized....I don't know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you."

And Why do they hate America, Mr. President?
Now Information Clearing House's Newsletter arrives with a link to the full text of it and as most of the world is aware, America's blind support of Israel with its military actions against Lebanon and Palestine are at the top of the list, if I'm reading it correctly, along with US invasions of the Middle East.
That, and the fight for total control of Jerusalem, of course.
So when veteran journalist Helen Thomas recently asked, Why? at the press conference for the 'Christmas Day/underwear bomber' incident and received no intelligent answer from President Obama (or his team), it sparked my interest again to re-read bin Laden's list of grievances. How rehearsed the administration's replies which don't actually 'answer' the question...Why?
Now you may take exception to my linking above to the 'letter' and that's okay for you. Yes, America being referred to as 'the great satan' or 'satanic' may be unsettling (unless you know our leaders show deference to such devilish gurus as Sun Myung Moon see them 'crowning' him on video! or share my view that the US Capitol Building is a Masonic Temple with who-knows-what sort of altar in the cellar (and if one is there, it is never for public viewing, of course.)
Be that as it may or may not be, I am frankly over-expired with Washington's terrorist mumbo jumbo as to why world religions are locked in a death struggle (spiral) - and yet oddly enough, the modern jihadist has no interest in their own immams whom they consider to be out of touch. Still, it seems to me that what bin Laden and his robots believe about us should matter to our leadership, and should be taken into account by Washington rather than delivering doublespeak non-answers that makes little, if any, sense, and only serve to continue the carnage.
The much-touted 'war on terror' is indeed one of the primary reasons our nation has been run into bankruptcy, or is teetering on the brink of it, depending on which propaganda you listen to. Yet if our leadership took into account that long-time US policies abroad (betrayals, bombs, assassinations, puppet despots, frauds, people-starving sanctions, etc) are what set off violence against America and her allies, you might reasonably think that our top dogs would want to stop the retaliation and endless cycle of brutality by tamping down their tendency toward...violence. Not so!
Why, it's almost as if an endless cycle of violence is just what the US (and Israel) want in order to 'justify' their own aggressions, wouldn't you? Psychopaths all, imo.
And if America (July 4, 1776) was founded on Illuminati (May 1, 1776) or other secret principles, you don't have to gaze far from the Capitol Building's rotunda and the crypt beneath it to see why bin Laden associates America with satan. Especially when we bomb the Holy Land that our leaders, religious and otherwise, say they revere so deeply. (Yuh. Right. Pass the ammo?)
Karma is a bi*ch
Even mighty America and hallowed Israel must come under the "by their fruits ye shall know them" axiom in spite of the constant, flimsy excuses spouted by Washington and Tel Aviv. What we send out we get back, in some form or another, and often worse when we've been bad.
To me, it seems that the CIA's 'blowback' principle is karma in disguise. They just don't like to admit it to the American public in their arrogant fashion plus, telling the truth might lose them an election or something.
But we know. We see the karmic principle working within our own lives.
So tell me now, if you wish: do you disagree very very much?

Bush deliberately let bin Laden escape to justify war - video
Just as I always thought, as did many other Americans in Dec 2001 and since: Bush-Cheney deliberately allowed Osama bin Laden to escape in order to justify the neocons' illegal invasion of Iraq and accomplish their long-desired overthrow of Saddam Hussein and his statue in Baghdad.
You know the lack of Bush's respect for US soldiers has been demonstrated through the years by many things: lying to take the US into illegal wars, lack of equipment to keep them safer while in battle, shabby medical care once they return home (if they return at all), re-deploying soldiers who deserve a break, 'privatizing' the war, leaving rank and file to answer for Abu Ghraib abuses, Blackwater gangsters - the list is endless.
Now someone speaks out to say that our soldiers were pulled back from capturing the very reason - bin Laden - the Pentagon invaded Afghanistan in the first place so more of our troops could risk and give their lives for a sham cause that makes the rich richer.
And this treason came from not one but two draft dodgers, Bush and Cheney!
Notice I didn't include the attacks of 9/11 as false flag ops. Which is why I just did.
But Tora Bora was Dec 2001 - now it's December 1, 2009
Then tonight at 8:00 pm est, President Obama will make Bush's misdirected course of action even worse by announcing a ramping up of America's imperialist mistakes, missteps, and bullheaded hubris which adds prayer to my menu for tonight and 'going forward'...how about you?
See my previous post for the natal chart of Afghanistan with transits for Dec 1, 2009. You'll find tonight's presidential announcement post with the 8:00 pm West Point, NY chart linked therein.

UCLA professor may know where bin Laden burrows
But does the US now have the political will to nab him and make a martyr out of him on behalf of 9/11?
Well, synchronistically, here's a link to the post I published 3 minutes prior to discovering the above article, in which I mention the 79th anniversary of Pluto's Discovery tomorrow, Feb 18, at its discovery spot: the Lowell Observatory.
I mention the post because it contains a reference to bin Laden's Dec 2001 escape from the caves (Pluto) of Tora Bora so if Prof. Gillespie is correct, it's good to know where America's former (or current?) colleague, Osama, is hanging out these days.
