Why Congress Can't Cut Defense Spending: Feat. Rep. Mark Pocan - clip

Here's a recent segment from a Thom Hartmann broadcast with guest Rep. Mark Pocan:

And here's a nostalgic view of the Pentagon's founding horoscope (April 29, 1942) with its war-waging, out-of-bounds Mars in Moon-ruled Cancer (touchy!) at apex of two difficult midpoints: ruthless Saturn-Pluto and fanatical Uranus-Pluto, creating both brutal and intense conditions.

Additionally, snugged around this particular view of the Pentagon 1942 chart is the DC Horoscope of the 12 North Solar Eclipse of January 15, 2010 (@25Cap01, in the highly sensitized area of governmental/legal Capricorn which includes US Pluto Return, a three-fer due to planetary retrogradation).

As for America's years of out-of-this-world amounts of defense spending, we might consider Capricorn eclipses for their negative implications of ruler Saturn: avarice and selfishness which impede karmic progress and identify the imperative to adhere to conservative Saturn's demands for self-control, conscientiousness, sober thinking, and self-discipline when it comes to financial investments (rather than clearing out the National Treasury - and all the while promoting austerity for the masses).

From a previous post, let's close with a quote clipped from President Eisenhower's famous 'Chance for Peace' speech of 1953, an era when the Republican Party wasn't sadistic, brutal, deceptive, and crass as it is now:

"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."

Rep. Pocan: Impeach Barr Now! - clip

May 2, 2019: since no AG Bill Barr appeared today for House Judiciary Committee questions I'm posting an interesting discussion from May 1st between Thom Hartmann and Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI) concerning Mr. Barr, personal Attorney General for an outlaw named Trump:

Could Impeachment Force Release of Mueller Report? (w/ Mark Pocan) - clip

AG Barr's Cover-Up Tactics Continue so Mr. Trump Must Be Having the Vapors!

This makes sense really, since everyone knows that bullies are big fat cowards...

And considering what threatens to be a very disappointing "release" of the (overly redacted) Mueller Report in the morning (April 18th--with AG Barr promising to hold a press conference at 9:30 am edt before the report's release tomorrow in order to take (evade) reporters' questions before they have time to actually read the report--so slick, thinks he and Donald--another stalling tactic!), we might appreciate the interesting information and commentary within the following Thom Hartmann segment with Rep. Mark Pocan:



~:~

So with the ongoing square (blockages; obstacles) from transit Neptune @17Pisces to Trump's natal Uranus @17Gemini (his 'guiding planet' of chaos, disruption, and oddballness in his 10th house of Career and Public Standing) his nibs could turn out to be the leader of a failed social movement.

Okay, I'm cheering for that--no neo-fascism or otherwise, please. Will either of you join me?

Senate Risks Financial Ruin Ignores What Most Americans Want - clip

Here Thom Hartmann speaks with Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin concerning a variety of current topics and issues including what's going on (or not) in the US Congress:

You know, I've mentioned before that it would be good for our Republic for us all to see exactly what's in the stock portfolios of US Congress members so that the information could be compared with their votes for or against legislation written by lobbyists and special interest operatives. So much congressional behavior would be explained!

Issues Of The Day w/ Congressman Mark Pocan! - Thom Hartmann (plus, Eclipses)

January 13, 2017: In this segment Thom Hartmann discusses current issues with US Representative Mark Pocan (D-WI), member of the AFL-CIO as a small business owner of a printing company:

Astro-Notes: Mark Pocan

Mark Pocan was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin on August 14, 1964: natal Sun @22Leo will be revealed or activated by the Lunar Eclipse @22Leo on February 10, 2017; natal Moon ranges from 11Sco--23Scorpio in the area of his natal Neptune @15Scorpio - a Moon-Neptune conjunction denotes interest in public service but also a tendency to drift off into daydreams if not focused. The North Node of public contact and future direction conjoins one of the World Points of fame and recognition (00Cancer) and Jupiter (politics, finances, religion, etc) @24Taurus conjoins natal Midas. His Saturn @2Pisces indicates struggles with opponents, modesty, reserve, working in isolation, and respect for the past. Saturn is the handle of a Bucket shape so that Saturn in Pisces reveals a special capacity or gift which apparently is to work in government (Saturn) as a politician serving the masses (Pisces).

For background cosmic energies: Rep. Pocan was born into the 2 New North Saros Series and his Prenatal Eclipse (PE) manifested on July 9, 1964 @17Cancer which contains unfortunate themes of: collapse of lifestyles or plans, confusion reigns but after the dust settles rebuilding begins with far-reaching effects; sudden collapse of an existing structure--as described by the Tarot card: The Tower. Last occurrence: July 31, 2000 @8Leo, and of course everyone thinks of the attacks of 9/11. 2NewN is the PE of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Laura Bush, all born in 1946 (themes from Brady's Predictive Astrology). The slightly older Mr. Trump was born into the 2 Old North series which repeats in 2018 as does the 2 New North Solar Eclipse--'The Tower Eclipse'--which (I regret to inform you) manifests on August 11, 2018 @19Leo, presumably Mr. Trump's second year in office.
