Dec 22, 2016: GOP 'Repeal ACA' Motive Revealed to Be - Money!
Republicans have never been completely honest or open about their desire to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka, Obamacare), but a new study by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center reveals that repealing the law will result in massive tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and raise taxes for many others.
The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains the Republicans' obsession with taking away the health care insurance of millions of Americans:
Yes, most politicians do love their money even though 'the root of all evil' is the love of it!
July 4, 1776: money planet Jupiter @6Cancer = Sabian Symbol "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests," the present-day priority of Washington DC politicians, their enablers, and puppet masters. Now who honestly thinks gold-worshiping game bird Donald Trump will be an improvement?
The United States of America: the most lucrative cash cow of a nation there ever was!
Yes, Nancy Pelosi raises lots of money for Washington Democrats but is that a good reason to retain the one who was in charge during the 2016 Election/s?
Now let's allow Astrology to chime in with a link to Nancy Pelosi's X-rated natal chart set for March 26, 1940 Baltimore, Maryland. Appropriate for her being 'retained' in her congressional role, her chart shows an abundance of stubborn Taurus, a money sign of growth and preservation. Mrs. Pelosi's birth time is unknown, hence the X rating but since her natal Moon remained in Scorpio for the 24-hour period we know her personality blend is a Fire-Water Sun Aries-Moon Scorpio combo which we already discussed some time ago.
Happily we need no birth hour to check out the Prenatal Eclipse Saros Series into which she was born--the 14 South (18Lib36) which last repeated in November 2011--November 25, 2011 @2Sag36, to be precise. This 'peculiar' eclipse of 'unexpected happenings in finance' (Brady) brought the American people an ill-titled 'Super Congress' whose members obscured the blame for financial difficulties and created Sequestration across the board (but not so much cutting of black-ops, surveillance, and military expenditures, of course, since the Utopian dream of conquering and occupying the entire world is very very costly-for citizens).
Wonder how Pelosi's natal Mercury-Neptune opposition (on the Virgo-Pisces axis) will stack up against Donald Trump's natal Mercury-Neptune square (Cancer to Libra)? Both aspects between the planet of thinking processes, communications, and comprehension and deluded, deceptive (if inspirational) Neptune are problematic though as always, the development of maturity and ethical standards bring more positive results. Mrs. Pelosi's opposition denotes one who can trigger destructive qualities in others, a tendency toward scheming which causes others to distrust her, a suspicious nature, and telepathic ability. Mr. Trump's square indicates issues with distortion of facts (misconceptions and indiscretion), unintentional unreliability, a tendency to make errors when the unconscious mind plays tricks on the conscious mind, and occult interests.
Both the opposition and the square between Mercury and Neptune suggest that both Pelosi and Trump have problems keeping secrets; either aspect may indicate a cunning nature that uses underhanded ways of disclosing confidential information although other chart factors may mitigate this unfortunate tendency.
As you've probably noticed, Millennials (ages 18 to 34) are not wild about voting for Hillary Clinton and may not turn out in November at all thanks to the Democratic Party sneakily favoring her as nominee over Senator Bernie Sanders (who would have won by a landslide much to the chagrin of the 'powers that think they be'):
And yet...perhaps the very importantElection Day 2016 (November 8th) will attract a large turn out of voters for it coincides with a monthly US Lunar Return with the mundane Moon in American charts signifying We the People, plus, America's Sun Cancer-Moon Aquarius combo is known for its humanitarian social concerns and political interests.
'The powers that think they be' is an apt description of the global ruling elite often used by Max Igan.
Since President Obama has followed Global Government instructions to protect and favor Big Banks for the duration of his presidency, can his veto of the bill allowing 9/11 families to sue Saudi Arabia surprise anyone? What a presidential pickle! 9/11 families vs the Big Banks!
The Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio really gives the Republicans what's what in this brief clip which reminds me a lot of the *realism and tackling the truth themes of the acting earlySeptember 1, 2016 Solar Eclipse followed on September 16th by a Lunar Eclipse in Mystical Pisces, sign of illusions and deceptions. And Spirituality. And fish. Plenty of sea creatures and fish.
You know how stealthy, powerful Pluto in Venus-ruled Taurus triggers intolerance and excessive greed for gaining possessions and wealth? Astrologically speaking, Pluto was plodding through zodiacal Taurus (the bull of Wall Street; golden calf worship) when the Republican Party formed on the coattails of the Lincoln election. Or at least that's what my pappy always told me.
And now a few choice words from Mike Papantonio concerning the current activities of the GOP:
Election fraud on November 8, 2016 is what to worry about next:
Here's a related video, also from The Ring of Fire: Wall Street Has Already Bought the 2016 Election. Over the weekend I finally took time to watch the film The Big Short so a report about Wall Street hubris particularly annoys this American into a snit of miffdom.
And from January 2016, here's Thom Hartmann responding to the absurd notion that The Big Short was a campaign ad for Bernie Sanders. Puh!
Farron Cousins on the question of whether progressives can trust a President Hillary Clinton to stick with a progressive platform such as making college tuition affordable:
We interrupt this post to bring you a little Astrology...
Hillary Clinton's Scorpio Mercury Square Leo Saturn
Based on her natal planets and my long term observations of her and Bill's past and present actions, I would have to say that Hillary Clinton is about taking power and following the global government script which will make pretense necessary on progressive (and other) issues. There are many ruses that are typically used in Washington DC--legislatively, certainly (well, she tried to get the bill passed, etc, as Farron mentions, above) and it seems to this astrologer that her natal conservative and stiltedMercury-Saturn square is prominent when it comes to campaign promises and other rhetoric, platforms, negotiations, deals, and other Mercurial endeavors. Her rhetoric may temporarily shift but underlying views Do Not.
And if we also consider the Fixed (rigid, set in its ways) energy of secretive Scorpio (including her stationaryMercury @21Scorpio and conservative authoritarian Saturn in Leo near her Mars-Pluto conjunction--more intense, focused Scorpio notes!) then changing her views and plans is not only difficult for her but, if pushed, represents a superficial exercise resentfully attempted in order to achieve her goal of controlling others and consolidating her power--in the White House.
Well, isn't this 'great' news for American democracy just prior to our July 4th celebration? Apparently, voter suppression is fashionable with the political class no matter the time of year. Farron Cousins reports:
This video is posted here in part because it echoes my own sentiments about Senator Elizabeth Warren--that she's more effective for the American people in the US Senate than she could be as Hillary Clinton's Vice President. For your consideration:
Remember the video of Elizabeth Warren's Senate bid announcment? The post contains brief astro-notes on her Sun-Moon personality blend if you're curious.
US elections are riddled with fraud and I wonder how apathetic the American people can possibly be concerning an issue that should form the basis of a democratic society. Farron Cousins and Lee Camp discuss:
Stars Over Washington sends Congratulations to Hillary Clinton and her shattered glass ceiling after last night's results.
Given the unfavorability ratings of GOP nominee Donald Trump, Republicans will have to cheat to win on November 8, 2016. Actually the cheating has already begun though I doubt that Mr. Trump cares how he 'wins' the (Venusian) Oval Office for he seems to be an 'end justifies the means' kind of self-promoter. The Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins reports:
For an astrologer it's easy to expect great courage from a man with Mars rising in Leo, conjunct royal star Regulus--a man such as Donald Trump. But the shadow side of this configuration is not as brave as it first appears though political "strategery" may be behind Trump's flip flopping on whether to debate Bernie Sanders or not. Or perhaps it's simply Senator Sanders' Virgoan command of facts and details that caused the changeable Geminian, Mr. Trump (who prefers to skim surfaces), to retract this particular boast:
Here is Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins reporting on this cowardly issue:
The entire Campaign 2016 has become something of a disaster for several reasons but voting conditions on November 8, 2016 may take the cake. It seems maddening and hypocritical how often Washington has pontificated to other countries on How to Hold Elections while they've managed to gum up US elections so effectively in about every way possible:
Since 2005, one major thread of Stars Over Washington has been my complaints over Grover Norquist's ideology of 'shrink the government small enough to drown it in a bathtub' and its harsh effects in the real world on everyday Americans so it's good to hear Farron Cousins describing this better than I can along with the horrible idea of how America and We the People would manage under the heel of another disastrous Republican president:
After slogging through eight l-o-n-g years of Cheney and George W. Bush (from their SCOTUS-installed victory to the attacks of 9/11/01 to the Crash of 2008), why in the world would US voters ask for more of the GOP's authoritarian paternalism and financial oligarchy designed to weaken and destroy our nation? Why? It isn't as if the power elite will ever share a dime of their ill-gotten wealth with pilgrims such as you or me and it's foolish to think otherwise!
Could there perhaps be a much larger long-range plan afoot, a plan to which most of our politicians have taken an oath to that takes precedence over their oaths to the US Constitution and to the American people?
Once a country's justice system is corrupted it's a tragic trip to the dustbin of history. The following discussion concerns several topics such as Senator Elizabeth Warren's report Rigged Justice 2016, our two-tiered justice system for rich and poor, GM's deadly ignition switches, corrupt 'watchdogs' such as the SEC, Standard & Poor's culpability in the Crash of 2008, and more:
You cannot know how awful it is to post the following video report from The Ring of Fire Radio for its content (which some may wish to know or consider) while having to ignore the warmongers' snoots on the screen, pre-play. Play the video please and their mugs-which-should-be-mugshots will disappear at least for a while.
Campaign 2016: Marvel at the audacity of neocon war hawks still fighting for complete control of the US Government which, with the 'Federal' Banking System, they are basically in control of the works already. America's political election process is high-jacked and creaky and now its a big election year for them to manipulate the counts and electoral votes toward their potus preference. A massively large turn out of the voting public is the primary thing We the People have to rely upon. The (Venusian) Oval Office and congressional outcomes will affect us and our children for many a year. Please Do Not Stay Home November 8, 2016. Apathy Is No Longer an Option--'The big picture demands a certain course of action, very little option to do otherwise,' (Tyl) and so...
1993 Uranus-Neptune 17Cap = March 2016 Pluto. As candidate Bernie Sanders says, "The billionaires can't have it all." And that's the option I choose.
Do you think the hierarchy of the Republican Party are truly distressed over the popularity of candidate Donald Trump? Or is Campaign 2016 an elaborate hoax meant to vanquish another plank of the American political system--voting? When I hear that some Democratic voters are crossing over to vote for Donald Trump it puts me in mind of a dissolving two-party system that is two-party only because it's rulers vs populace, not R vs D or con vs lib:
#UniteBlue on November 8th to keep America anchored in the 21st century while leaving the 19th century behind!
The poll, upper right, closes February 29th and so far, it's all about Ted Cruz being unsuitable for any high office which shows how discriminating and wise are SO'W readers!
This question that has haunted me since Ted Cruz announced his bid to run for president of the country after leading the theatrical charade of shutting down the government for 16 days for the purpose of making an ideological point. Why does no one mention the quirkiness of a man wanting to run a government he shut down because of an anti-societal notion--and reading children's books in mockery of the US Senate?
All this tea party anarchist rhetoric and its code words used in Campaign 2016 puts me in mind of the Cardinal Square Solar Eclipse of July 2010, the year that rebellious Uranus electrified the Mars-ruled Aries Point of Manifestation, transit Jupiter of corporatism came along and joined in, and tea party candidates infiltrated Capitol Hill which eventually made possible the Cruz-led shut down of the US government. And of course, the separating Cardinal Square between Uranus and Pluto continues triggering generational stand-offs as 40-something politicians challenge The Establishment of the Republican Party.
Yet there is not such a generational battle for Democrats in Campaign 2016 where Grandma and Grandpa are struggling for the Dem nomination!
