Democracy For Who? Do The Poor Have A Say? - Thom Hartmann (plus Ceres!)

Here's a June 16, 2020 clip from Thom Hartmann concerning a timely societal topic which contains within it many thorny and related issues:


~:~

In Mundane Astrology I tend to use asteroid Ceres as a marker for democracy, aka, Democracy. However, these days, America's fabled streak of Plutocracy has grown wider than ever and we find that on July 4, 1776 our Ceres Rx @8Pisces41 conjoined the 1776 natal Pluto-Chiron midpoint with the midpoint's plutocracy, exploitation, primal violence, and racism implications now coming to fruition across the land. And where is Ceres in transit as I type? At 11Pis38 which suggests that in 2020, America is actually in the midst of a three-fer Ceres Return due to the asteroid's retrogradation.

Exact dates of America's current Ceres Return/s are: May 28 (passed obviously); August 14; and December 20, 2020, the last a significant date for other reasons. Hopefully by December, solutions may be found, presented, or even implemented to address at least some of our nation's thorny issues within the realms of Ceres.

This may be possible since a Ceres Return spotlights our national Ceres concerns (in compassionate Pisces!) such as nurturing, home and family, parenting, food supplies (food chains), agricultural concerns and practices, protective instincts, and democracy with a cosmic laser beam to be dealt with in 2020 and, hopefully, to result in improvements for the population of our country which, whether Republicans and other selfish Ayn-Randers like it or not, includes the poor, elderly, ill, and weak among us. Even our Voting Rights are involved since office holders determine how We The People are treated or mistreated, how funds are allocated for the care of our people in need - and to 'promote the general welfare'. And yet as we see since 1776, the nation was set up from the start with the plutocrats in charge.

To close, here's one of my drawings of a protective mother and child:

"that hellish path blindly"

Barack Obama.com has the script of his remarks against going to war in Iraq waaaay back from Oct 2, 2002, and I'm providing the link in case you haven't read all the Senator's remarks before.

If you're like me, you've noticed that "that hellish path blindly" actually describes the Bush-Cheney regime to a T. "Don't put an oil man in the White House," I pleaded with anyone who'd listen back in 2000.

And now going forward at the end of the day, I plead, skip the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton machine, y'all!

In process of preparing my post on Super Tuesday now--hope to publish it in the next hour or so.

Most of the work was done over the weekend but I ran out of posting time--our local Mental Health Benefit Art Auction was held Saturday evening and three of my drawings sold for the cause...you may wish to visit cosmic persona designs to see them, and you'll need a break from politics after pondering today's Bush Budget from He*l...robbing the poor to give more tax cuts to the rich.

That hellish path blindly a la Geroge Bush--where blind poverty stricken Americans are always left behind.
