"You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Chains"
By Mike Whitney
Forget about the fake differences between the two political parties. There aren't any. The only hope for deep structural change is to strengthen the unions and give workers a place at the policy table. That's the only peaceful way to dismantle this parasitic financial regime and bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth.
Astrological comments on America, on Washington DC, and on the politicians who infest them...with a gentle sprinkling of world events

Mumbai under siege Nov 26 2008
Wikipedia has information on the Hindi and the Urdu dialects of the khari boli register.
Hindi is the sanskritised version, Urdu is the persianised dialect. I mention this because one of the gunmen involved in Nov 26's siege on Mumbai, India, is said to have spoken in one of these dialects.
Through emails to various media outlets, a group calling themselves the Deccan Mujahideen has taken 'credit' for the attacks and murders - how proud they must be for sneaking up on the unsuspecting and unarmed.
I shall suppose that 'Deccan' here relates to the number '10' as it would in the west.
Interesting that English and Hindi share official language status in India's federal government. Both Urdu and Hindi have Indo-Aryan roots. Now this doesn't tar and feather all the gunmen with the same brush, of course, but it's the only identification of a language I've read as of yet.
My heart goes out to the city and people of Mumbai who have stood as innocents in the crosshairs of the politically and criminally insane...and while Pluto stood poised at 29Sag59, crisis degree mode and straining for controlling Capricorn, sign of government, business, and law.
A final note: Mumbai's business district and American and British citizens were their targets. Point taken.

Capitol Hill vs The People
You may be interested in Romantic Poet's article Democrats planned the financial collapse which covers everything from George Soros and the Cloward-Piven strategy to Rahm Emanuel's 2006 book, The Plan with Nancy Pelosi's Samoan connections basted like a crispy turkey in between.
Her post will make you think!
Yet as both readers of this blog know, I give no hall passes to Dems or Republicans because they're waging us vs them class warfare, the playing field is definitely tilted, and they will *all do what it takes to keep control, power, and obscene amounts of wealth in their own claws.
Why, it's all simply Capitol Hill Theater, Dahlink!
~:~
*In the interest of fairness, my usual 1 or 2% exception rule always applies in case a couple of honest Capitol Hillers are not in on the one-world-government agenda and would prefer America to remain America. (I'm being generous, I know, but there it is. You see? Cynicism and generosity can exist side by side. And you thought they couldn't!)

Is Obama ensnared within an imperial presidency?
Obama and the Imperial Presidency
By Jack Balkin
The Bush administration has worked hard to increase presidential power. Will Barack Obama give it up?
~:~
Yes, we've all been wondering about that.
If Obama as commander-in-chief stops Bush's tactic of using boatloads of sneaky signing statements as end-runs-around-Congress and reverses many of Bush's draconian policies, perhaps the question will become: can Obama use whatever presidential power he has more wisely and on behalf of we-the-people as it was originally intended?

Obama-Bush meet at White House 11.10.08
Walking the colonnade this afternoon at the White House are our present and future presidents.
The limo carrying the Obamas was reported as passing through the White House gates at 1:46 pm est. Rising at that minute was 5Pis01 bringing Barack Obama's natal Chiron Rx with it. This video records their stroll at about 1:52 pm est.
At a serious Hour of Saturn, we may wonder what Saturn, planet of authority and control, was up to. Saturn was in an obsessive-compulsive aspect of 165 degrees with the ASC...
may hold position of authority; needs to be seen as authoritative, dependable, and respectable; fear of sharing with others (too much to hide? -jc); can demonstrate to others how to set and reach goals. (Quindecile, Ricki Reeves.)
Venus is out-of-bounds and will conjunct Pluto around 2:00 am est, Nov 12. When two titans meet I look for 'meetings' overhead so the Venus/Pluto conj must be the descriptor for this presidential tour and transition talk...Pluto = Bush, Venus = Obama (still technically 'outside' the White House...or White Lodge, if you prefer...Venus OOBs.)
Venus' degree '28Sag' has this Sabian Symbol: " An Old Bridge Over a Beautiful Stream."
Hope it goes somewhere for America's sake!

A Look Under the Hood at the (Potential) Obama Administration
By Joshua Frank
Barack Obama's administration will prove unlikely to alter the fundamental political machinery that has led us into war and economic turmoil.
Here is a brief summary of Obama's potential choices for a few key roles in his administration.
~:~
This article by Joshua Frank is not favorable to some of Obama's picks - in particular Rahm Emanuel. You may not agree with Mr. Franks' ideas but because I have misgivings about Emanuel and some of the other names being floated I wanted to publish the article's link. Senator Obama seems to be surrounding himself with Zionists which should perhaps be a good thing - but when it comes to having fewer wars - it isn't. jc

Keep eyes on Bush and Cheney
Bush's Last 100 Days the Ones to Watch
By Jesse Jackson
Bush and Vice President Cheney represent a failed conservative era -- and they know it. As the administration moves into its last 100 days, thereseems to be a flurry of activity: regulations to forestall Obama's new era of accountability; a flood of contracts to reward friends and lock in commitments; a Wall Street bailout that is pumping money out the door.

Economy and the stupid white men
Are white men stupid enough to fall for John McCain's economic theories and install him into the White House to continue the Bush policy of gutting America?
Did you know that McCain blames Bush for the economic crisis?
Will white men of voting age pay attention to McCain pal Phil Gramm and his Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act peeking out from behind the curtain?

Obama's Chiron in Pisces + the Nep-Pluto septile
Some folk are calling this 2008 presidential race 'gilded' but see if you agree.
Today I'm grieving for Jennifer Hudson and her family and I know both readers of this blog are saddened by this family tragedy.
Here in Georgia the weather is chill and damp today so we're staying as snug as bugs may be expected to stay.
Hearing of Barack Obama's speech in Canton, Ohio today puts me in mind of the famous anti-war speech so well-delivered several moons ago by Eugene V. Debs.
And here I've exerpted from his advice for you if you go to Washington so heed before you leave for Washington Town. The city's parallel is most particular, y'know, and there are more mountain goats than you can shake a stick at there.
So between speeches by Debs and the stellar Cross of Gold speech by William Jennings Bryan is where I find myself plopped this day while pondering why Senator Obama chose Canton in which to speak, or perhaps I should say....preach.
Natally Barack Obama has Chiron in Watery Pisces, sign of the collective, sign of compassion (not the manufactured kind), sign of sacrifice, and sign of fishes everywhere.
Pisces can be the preacher but many generals have been born under the sign of the fish (which may seem odd at first.)
And since Chiron travels between the orbits of Saturn (the past) and Uranus (the future), Chiron is the "be here now" figure, the Alpha and Omega and the All in between.
Chiron is experiential because of his catalyst nature, his morphing ability learned from sky god, Uranus, while his perfect/imperfect form is from Saturn. Plato's Ideal Form - the synthesis of Saturn and Uranus, is an idea more perfect in imagination.
Chiron is the 'learn by doing' focus in our charts and so is the expression of the Ideal in earthly form, upon the Cross of Matter.
Heaven brought to Earth, and whose Sabian Symbol at discovery, '4Taurus' is: "A Rainbow's Pot of Gold."
This symbolism echoes within Bryan's Cross of Gold speech which superimposes the strain against mankind on to a cross of cruxifixion by materialistic greed's physicality and frigidity of feeling for one's fellow man.
This precise speech garnered Bryan the Democratic Party's nomination for president although he had not been the nominee before the DNC took place.
But you see, WJB held the audience spellbound. A silver-tongued Democrat of the populist persuasion is difficult to ignore.
The supplied audio of his Cross of Gold speech (which I heard part of last week on NPR) was recorded some years after that night at the DNC. Unfortunately, no recording of his speech's actual DNC delivery exists...but eye-witness reports fill out the picture along with the text.
Then it was silver Democrats vs gold Republicans. Is it still?
The 1890s are an interesting era to study, don't you think?
After all, it's the descendants of the Generation of Materialism, the Gilded Age crowd, the Industrialists and Bankers, that are bedeviling us now as transiting MIDAS Rx plays about the 7 - 8 Gemini area which are the Great Conjunction degrees of Neptune and Pluto, the planets of the Gilded Age because their time clock was 'punched' at their conjunction.
Once again, the degrees and dates of our current Neptune-Pluto cycle:
1. August 2, 1891 8Gem38 Direct
2. November 5, 1881 8Gem19 Rx
3. Apr 30, 1882 7Gem42 Direct
Neptune - oil, gas, oceans, liquids, beverages, drugs, negative escapism, confusions, deceptions, the masses, veils, subterfuges, spirituality, merging, inspired creativity, the Divine Source;
Pluto - hidden places such as caves, tunnels, graves, sepulchres, pipes, plumbing, spies, detectives, investigators, publishers, assassins, saboteurs, a secret hand, the power-behind-the-throne, ruler of Hades, transformation, regeneration, death, the dragon who guards the riches, rapist, abductor, the pope, the puppetmaster/s.
And with Neptune and Pluto's angular relatoinship now moving in and out of septile aspect (51 degr 26 mins) the collective is having that 'fated' 'karmic' feeling/intuition deja-vu-ing once again.

Germany's Kristallnacht resolution stalls
German politicians divided over anti-Semitism as the German Parliament attempts to pass a unanimous resolution against anti-Semitism to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Night of Broken Glass.
Anti-Semitism is 'on the rise' in Germany, the article states and it seems that 70 years of perspective aren't enough.
Of course, it's much more complex an issue than my simplistic can't we all just get along mindset. But should it be?
Doesn't all hatred issue from mankind's primal lizard brain?

America's Money Power
"The principal power in Washington is no longer the government for the people it represents. It is the Money Power. Under the deceptive cloak of campaign contributions, access and influence, votes and amendments are bought and sold.
Money establishes priorities of action, holds down federal revenues, revises federal legislation, shifts income from the middle class to the very rich.
Money restrains the enforcement of laws written to protect the country from abuses of wealth--laws that mandate environmental protection, antitrust laws, laws to protect the consumer against fraud, laws that safeguard the securities markets, and many more."
Richard N. Goodwin, speechwriter for John F. Kennedy
~:~
Thanks to Information Clearing House for the above quote.
And here's a quote from Adlai Stevenson (Sun AQ-Moon Tau) who tried to be US president once upon a time (1952):
"A hungry man is not a free man."
I'll say!
So with the NYSE plummeting again today, let's give a man a job
especially since the billions of taxpayers' hard earned bucks that were gifted to uncooperative bankers are not being passed on to the ones whose spending would actually make a difference in our society
and for our economy.
Someone build some factories, for cryin' out loud! Is it rocket science?

Time to Liquidate the Empire?
Liquidating the Empire
By Patrick J. Buchanan
With U.S. markets crashing and wealth vanishing, what are we doing with 750 bases and troops in over 100 countries?
~:~
US Secondary Progressed Full Moon...December 2008 4Vir/Pis10...end of an expansion cycle, lessening light.
Chalmers Johnson's book, The Sorrows of Empire gives a lot of information on America's military bases - and it's stunning how the octopus has encircled the globe.
Yet it is, after all, only a natural law, a cycle...what goes up comes down again and it doesn't have to be a bad thing. But the jokers in Washington - including 99% of the ones who about to sweep in for their turn at the trough - aren't up to the task of humility and that is what will make the process of lowering our expectations and simplifying our wants even more painful than it has to be.
~~
You're lost on a shadowy trail through thick, brambly woods on a dark, moonless night. On every side wild animal calls raise goosebumps on the back of your neck and you've been warned that a bottomless pit of quicksand awaits the hapless.
As you creep down the path not knowing which way will lead you to oblivion, gentle wings flutter as a white dove alights near you with a message tied around its neck.
Striking your one remaining match, you take the hopeful message from the timely messenger and read the words: you're going in the wrong direction...turn back NOW.
What would George Bush do?
