Here are two quotes that concern enemies, outer and inner, one from Eric Fromm, one from Mohandas Gandhi. You may think they are diametrically opposed to my previous post's content below about Memorial Day and how we celebrate it...and you'd be right:
"Another nation is made out to be utterly depraved and fiendish, while one's own nation stands for everything that is good and noble. Every action of the enemy is judged by one standard - every action of oneself by another. Even good deeds by the enemy are considered a sign of particular devilishness, meant to deceive us and the world, while our bad deeds are necessary and justified by our noble goals, which they serve." Eric Fromm
(Fromm describes a basic tenet of propagandizing the people of a nation into accepting war through use of an emotionally rationalized agenda of double standards and the human trait of projecting onto others what we're desperate to deny within ourselves. ID the monsters!)
"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty and democracy?" Mohandas Gandhi.
(Indeed. It makes no difference whatsoever. jc)

Population Control by any other name
The Lords of Capital Decree Mass Death by Starvation
By Glen Ford
Having crushed the planet's peasants and converted food into just another commodity for global manipulation, the Lord's of Capital have unleashed upon humanity the threat--no, certainty--of mass starvation.

As astrologer Sybil Leek wrote, totalitarianism increases as the earth heats up.
And with the Bush administration's bolshevistic can-kicking ability these last 8 years, it's become a Let Them Eat Polar Bear World.

another Bush clampdown on freedom
News Update from Citizens For Legitimate Government Feb 11, 2008

Bush orders clampdown on flights to US--EU officials furious as Washington says it wants extra data on all air passengers:
The US administration is pressing the 27 governments of the European Union to sign up for a range of new security measures for transatlantic travel, including allowing armed guards on all flights from Europe to America by US airlines. The demand to put armed air marshals on to the flights is part of a travel clampdown by the Bush regime that officials in Brussels described as "blackmail" and "troublesome", and could see west Europeans and Britons required to have US visas if their governments balk at Washington's requirements.
According to a US document being circulated for signature in European capitals, EU states would also need to supply personal data on all air passengers overflying but not landing in the US in order to gain or retain visa-free travel to America, senior EU officials said.#
This reminds me of what may be a similarly themed issue: building walls on the border between the US and Mexico--and I can't shake the feeling that it's meant as much to isolate the American people as to keep others out. The above-mentioned "blackmail" seems part of the same ploy.
Then there's the recent mysterious cutting of Iran's internet cables. And although I would be among the first to suspect the Bush regime or others in the cutting yet I can't help but wonder if it's the Iranian government closing in on the Iranian people, just as the Bush-Cheney 1% gang is busily doing to America.
Hmm...this "feeling" is probably simply a part of the fear-esque atmosphere they're advancing upon us 24 hours a day, for years on end. Right?
Or perhaps another mixed "blessing" from Mr. Freedom-is-the-default-position-of-humanity!

McGovern weighs in on Bush administration
"People who think of government as the institution to entrust with enough power to right all the world's wrongs seem to never consider that they must thereby give it enough power to do wrong to all the world's rights. In fact, they seem NEVER to consider what the founders always thought was obvious: that the 'good guys' will NOT always be in charge!" --Bert Rand

Why I Believe Bush Must Go
Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse
By George McGovern
As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
Read McGovern's article at Information Clearing House#
Glad Mr. McGovern is weighing in at last, but I doubt the neocons and plutocrats are listening. But I am, are you?
George McGovern, born July 19, 1922, 3:00 am CST, Avon, SD) has recently completed his Uranus Return which happens to those who reach the 84-year milestone. It's a time of possible spiritual awakening if the spiritual has been ignored before--a renewal if already part of the life--and, it seems, of truth-telling. And it's when childhood issues (and perhaps memories) no longer hold sway as they once did. In effect: a letting go.
At 13Pis14 Rx, Mr. McGovern's triple Uranus Return dates are: April 17, 2006; Aug 23, 2006 (Rx); and Feb 7, 2007...Uranus is in 10th house natally.
The ongoing Mars Rx we are experiencing is upon his natal ASC as I type: 27Gem22. And since there are indications in his natal chart of pulmonary concerns, having tr Mars crossing and recrossing his natal ASC (physical body) may be difficult for him.
His Sun/MC midpoint (The Goal = 13Tau35) is conj US Inaugural ASC (noon, DC, Jan 20)...his goal in life was to be inaugurated president.
Yet Sun/Mars = (restrictive) Saturn: defeat in a contest; difficulties or obstacles in the profession.
Well, yes. And Saturn there may indicate his own party blocking his goals--the dastardly Ds! Of course, planetary archetypes must exist inwardly before they express outwardly, so perhaps McGovern had reservations within...as any sane person who thinks of taking the job should. Run FROM the White House would be the better advice.
Here are a few details on McGovern's Sun Cancer-Moon Taurus personality blend:
practical idealism; shrewd perceptions; belief in the worth of every individual; capacity for listening to others' needs; dependable; tenacious; artistic; fussy.
Images for Integration:
A family photo album...A painter captures the taste and smell of a landscape...A flourishing family business. (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
Sun in Cancer, sign of the family. Tonight I tip my hat toward Mr. McGovern who knows even more political secrets than he's now--finally--letting on, and I hope he enlightens America by spilling Washington's beans.

George and Adolph: 2 peas in a pod?
"Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise" --Adolf Hitler, German Chancellor, leader of the Nazi party
"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." --
George W. Bush-43rd US President, leader of the neocon chickenhawks
Now both of them were/are backed by big spenders and you know that Prescott Bush supported Hitler...the devouring spirit is alive and active in the world and seeks his own.
He doesn't have far to look, does he?
Sabian Symbol for Bush's natal Ascendant (his nibs himself):
"8Leo": "A Bolshevik propagandist"...LEAVEN...recurrent battles over social and political concepts.
pos: a determination to share the soul's vision and to make a permanent impact on history;
neg/unconscious/shadow side: futile ranting against a multitude of superficial ills (Jones' The Sabian Symbols in Astrology.)
Adolph Hitler (Apr 20, 1989 NS; 6:30 pm; Braunau am Inn, Austria; Rodden rating AA for accuracy) was born with Sun 00Tau48/Moon 6Cap38.
His Moon is conj one of the nastiest of Fixed Stars--Facies (Fah' sheez)...its darkest shadow is the cruelty of war;
keywords: ruthlessness or the victim. Facies is linked with Hitler's Moon and Jupiter conjunction in Capricorn--and Jupiter arose with Facies on his day of birth increasing the star's cruel tendencies (Brady's Fixed Stars.)
When I progressed his chart by Solar Arc Direction for today I found that his S.A. Moon (00Tau24) is in process of conjuncting natal Sun...seems his mission's needs are being fulfilled in our time...not comforting, is it?
Sun Tau/Moon Cap's Image for Integration:
A royal banquet honours the longest-serving headmistress of the oldest and most pretigious school in the land (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
Apparently she's still serving her pupils all too well.

You say, Kremlin...I say, White House
It's a ROFLMBO Day!
Here's the source of my Saturday hilarity: the AP article promoting the riotously ironic idea that Secretary of State Rice is Worried by Putin's Broad Powers, an article in which we find Condi Rice saying, "In any country, if you don't have countervailing institutions, the power of any one president is problematic for democratic development."
!!!!! (Expletive deleted. What does she know about it and when did she know it?)
Hey Condi, in America it's supposed to be called checks and balances before your boss and his cronies undermined it like all get-out.
More irony from Condi, but beware--stitch may form in side:
"I think there is too much concentration of power in the Kremlin....Everybody has doubts about the full independence of the judiciary."
You say Kremlin, I say White House, let's call the whole thing off, shall we?
Oh Condi, come on home--you sound (if possible) even more idiotic and unaware of your pot-kettle tendencies when in Moscow while Vladie Putin will be laughing his buns off all the way to the premiereship.
Besides, you know Bush longs to hang onto the White House if he can--even if it takes a false flag op to do it. Girl, you know it's true.

Chavez pulls plug on TV station at midnight
A Venezuelan TV Station to Shut at Midnight
Synchronistically when I was looking at the midnight chart for Caracas just now, rising was "1Sag": "A Grand army of the Republic campfire" degree. At midnight in Caracas tonight when Chavez determined that RCTV would shut down (for broadcasting against him, of course), "1Sag" is at MC, the WHY, or Aspiration Point of the endeavor.
"1Sag": REMINISCENCE...this Sabian Symbol speaks of the inner strength by which (man) may sustain himself at critical points in his affairs...he regrasps each special potentiality of his being.
pos: accomplishment through the cultivation and preservation of enduring ties with others;
neg/shdow side: superficial idleness and unhealthy veneration for the past.
Hugo hearts George?
No? The little sulphur-infused stage play at the UN was for real? Puh!
Perhaps Chavez is trying to cultivate and preserve ties to Bush, whose natal IC (Foundation) is being visited now by this same Saturn/Pluto...it would be two devils taking one to know one, if you're askin'.
Midnight in Caracas: the harsh, cruel Saturn/Pluto midpoint will be at 23Lib+ and conjunct the Moon (and Spica (potential for brilliance), and Arcturus (a different approach)...Moon = the public; publicity; propaganda; changes...the Moon is often a trigger or a timer.
Saturn/Pluto = Moon: emotional coldness; renunciation; giving up giving; melancholy; the tragic destiny of a woman.
It was the legendary Sybil Leek who wrote that when the earth is in a warming cycle, the world shifts toward totalitarianism.
How correct she was.
