How the Pentagon Blew 700 Billion Dollars (w/ Matt Taibbi) - clip

Here is an informative segment from March 22, 2019 (the 16th anniversary of the Iraq War) between progressive broadcaster and author Thom Hartmann and journalist Matt Taibbi, author of Griftopia and Hate Inc.: Why Today's Media Makes Us Despise One Another:

Related posts include: a view of the Pentagon's natal horoscope which shows a revealing midpont picture of potentials with the Pentagon's natal Mars (the warrior) as apex planet: Neptune-MC (Utopian ideas; crooks or swindlers) = Mars: 'the tendency to act without clear understanding or purpose; desire to bring the wrong ideas into realization' (like policing and subjugating the globe at US taxpayers' expense? like depopulating the planet? - jc); 'a desire to harm other people' (as you know, war and perpetual wars always do this - jc); (midpoint picture potentials from Ebertin's The Combination of Stellar Influences (#ad); any, all, or none may apply and are subject to transits, progressions, and directions.).

And of course, US natal Mars turning retrograde by progression in 2006 (during Bush-Cheney's Iraq and Afghanistan wars) adds its self-defeating yet weakening fuel to the Death Star's vicious fire (often misdirected---US Mars squares foggy Neptune, Gemini to Virgo) and accounts for much of the violence against ourselves that Americans now experience (exs: mass murders; sad uptick in suicides), plus, it provides a difficult cosmic picture of our returning veterans. As for financial issues including the current military budget, a major influence is that US natal Jupiter turned retrograde by progression in 1905 @15Cancer--conjunct the Pentagon's natal Ascendant and in plenty of time to lie the American people into World War I - what some call, a ritual sacrifice instigated by decrepit old warmongers and profiteers (big bankers) against our younger generations who suffer so 'the elite' don't have to.

DC Horoscope: US Progressed New Moon 2024

February 5, 2018: If there exists an America in 2024, below is her next Secondary Progressed (SP) New Moon @19Pis26 on March 25, 2024 which symbolically times a new cycle of activity and experience. Of course, year 2021 begins a 'dark of the moon' period when anything can happen so I'm not predicting here, just posting our national SP New Moon chart for those who may wish to view it in early mode! And of course, with an SP or transiting New Moon, things take a while before the proper direction is clear.

Most of my current notes and its basic details are penned messily on the chart so hopefully you can enlarge the image for better viewing. Added are the dates and degrees of our country's Previous SP New Moon in 1994 (19AQ51), and this SP New Moon's Previous SP Full Moon (4Vir10) on or about December 25, 2008 which marked the time when the US had extended into the wider world as far as she could reasonably and naturally go. As you know, Washington DC's preparation for this important karmic condition was to continue indulging in the same old globe-conquering madness, wasteful spending, embezzlement from public coffers and various other financial crimes, weakened systems and agencies of government, lowered standards in international diplomacy, foreign entanglements and conflicts of interest that the Founders warned against, and mayhem and corruption that would horrify the American people if the truth were known. Oh well. One day all will be known!

America's Progressed New Moon @19Pis26 March 25, 2024 3:22 pm edt Washington DC:

Note that in the transits both Mars (2Pis11) and Pluto (1AQ45) are out-of-bounds and up to who-knows what. And that US SP Jupiter (15Can11) has been retrograde by progression since 1905 which figures directly into the formation of the 'Federal Reserve System of Banking', aka, the transnational central bank take-over of the US government. US SP Jupiter Rx also relates to America's tiresome tendency to over extend and grab what isn't hers--and a major change of direction and disturbing philosophical shifts were also shown by our nation's Jupiter function turning inward @15Cancer--directly upon the natal Ascendant of the money-guzzling Pentagon.

SHOCK: Bush & Cheney Freed ISIS Leader Because He Was “Harmless” - clip

If this is true, I'll be filing it under the Well Whaddaya Know category:

The Bush-Cheney gang just keep on giving, don't they?

Recommended: for an astro-peek at major internal changes (turning points) in US history via America's Secondary Progressions check out US Jupiter turning Retrograde (1905--$$ of course--the Fed prepares to take over the US money supply and thus government) and Saturn turning Retrograde (1996--distorted authority, accountability, authenticity under Bill Clinton and his impeachment which weakens the presidency, the US Congress, and our legal system simultaneously...quite some Political Theater, wasn't it?)
