Although I've heard rumors of this before, it seems the lawsuit has been filed Tuesday (2.17.09) against Skull and Bones on behalf of Geronimo and his kin - read about in the Yale Daily News.
'Bout time to get Geronimo's skull back where it belongs! Give it up, Bonesmen. Otherwise you'll seem even more the power elite thieves - with Taft and Nazi fetishes - that many people believe you to be.

Planets this week: the power of 10!
This week several planets have resided at 10th degrees: Venus in Aries, Mars and Jupiter in Aquarius - and by the pre-dawn hours of Feb 22, the Moon will join in to spark a lovely line-up of Mercury, Jupiter, and Mars in Aquarius.
'10' relates, of course, to 10th sign, Capricorn, and thus to its natural house (the 10th) which links with Career, Public Status, and World Events.
Astrologer Monica Starr, author of the excellent Astrology Mundo blog, is relating the power of the number 10 with Pres. Obama's signing of the Stimulus Bill this week; plus, Monica gives her expert advice on how we may use the power of 10 within our own lives!
As an Astrology novice with four natal planets in Capricorn, I appreciate this very much from one of my favorite astrologers and I hope you'll check out her blog whenever you can...in fact, bookmarking Astrology Mundo would be highly efficacious for you, imo.

UCLA professor may know where bin Laden burrows
UCLA geography Professor Thomas Gillespie may have ferreted out the location of Osama bin Laden's 'hidey hole' based on scientific considerations.
But does the US now have the political will to nab him and make a martyr out of him on behalf of 9/11?
Well, synchronistically, here's a link to the post I published 3 minutes prior to discovering the above article, in which I mention the 79th anniversary of Pluto's Discovery tomorrow, Feb 18, at its discovery spot: the Lowell Observatory.
I mention the post because it contains a reference to bin Laden's Dec 2001 escape from the caves (Pluto) of Tora Bora so if Prof. Gillespie is correct, it's good to know where America's former (or current?) colleague, Osama, is hanging out these days.

Ron Paul on Stimulus Bill: video
Ron Paul says there were only 5 copies of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act made available to congressional members which was "business as usual," says Dr. Paul.
Perhaps someone should have snagged the copy that Boehner dropped to the floor in (mock?) contempt.
Rep. Paul is correct on their usual sorry ways, for sure, but they never seem to read - or have their staffers read - the bills they pass anyway (except the parts they may sponsor.)
So if five of them had read the thing before voting, that would be 5 more than usual! And I doubt that Boehner had time to read it before he dropped it.
Ahhh, Capitol Hill Theater...1st act 9:30 am, matinee after lunch.

Pres Obama signs Stimulus Bill but what did he say?
The full text of Obama's Stimulus Bill remarks are available at CNN, so get 'em while they're hot.
JD Hayworth on Hardball - video 2.16.09
....
Former House rep J.D. Hayworth was on Hardball last evening blaming George Soros and Chuck Schumer for the economic collapse.
Absurd! Soros and Schumer played their roles, but it took a lot of greedy people many years (centuries - see post below) to cause the world's pyramid scheme of worthless paper money to show its true (blank) face.
Now I don't know much of Hayworth's career in Congress (R-AZ; 1995 - 2007), but I don't remember his doing anything worthwhile about the monetary situation while there, do you? He played his role, too.
There was a forgery incident in 1996 (his signature forged by staff on a campaign affadavit - he fired the culprits, kept himself) but other than the fact that he was a TV sportscaster and radio journalist prior to coming to Capitol Hill, I know only what I read of Hayworth on Wikipedia.
So for some reason GOP strategists seem to have called on Hayworth to stem the tide against the many criticisms of 8 years of Republican overspend by arguing on Hardball.
This is the kind of political damage control that always reminds me of the Sabian Symbol for America's natal Jupiter, planet of expansion, money, ideals, and optimism:
'6 Cancer': "Game Birds Feathering Their Nests"...METICULOUSNESS.
positive: high intelligence and skill in enlisting the potentials of experience for the service of self;
negative/unconscious/shadow side: unnecessary concern over everyday security. (The Sabian Symbols in Astrology, Marc Edmund Jones.)
And here's an excerpt on '6 Cancer' from Lynda Hill's book 360 Degrees of the Zodiac: making yourself comfortable and right at home; raising money; preparation; laying the groundwork for those to come (my bold); creating a base to feel safe; taking over other people's territory.

Weekend Skies: Fireballs and Sonic Booms
Space Weather News for Feb 16, 2009
WEEKEND FIREBALLS: A daylight fireball over Texas on Sunday, Feb 15, triggered widespread reports that debris from a recent satellite collision was falling to Earth. Those reports were premature. Researchers have studied video of the event and concluded that the object was more likely a natural meteoroid about one meter wide traveling more than 20 km/s--much faster than orbital debris. Meteoroids hit Earth every day, and the Texas fireball was apparently one of them.
There's more: On Friday, Feb 13, people in central Kentucky heard loud booms, felt their houses shake, and saw a fireball streaking through the sky. This occurred scant hours after another fireball at least 10 times brighter than a full Moon lit up the sky over Italy.
Although it is tempting to attribute these events to debris from the Feb 10 collision of the Iridium 33 and Kosmos 2251 satellites, the Kentucky and Italy fireballs also seem to be meteoroids, not manmade objects.
Italian scientists are studying the ground track of their fireball, which was recorded by multiple cameras, and they will soon begin to hunt for meteorites.
Videos, eye-witness reports and more information about these events may be found at SpaceWeather.com.

Ah, yes, apparently the fireballs are only meteoroids - not to fret, silly Earthlings!
But if you'd like an example of more fireball, sonic boom, and earthquake - yes, earthquake - reports, click Leuren Moret's article link and scroll about halfway down to the section on the Aum Shinrikyo Sect for eye-witness accounts from May 28, 1993. It's instructive and shows what certain experiments can cause in our skies.
Aren't fireballs and sonic booms occurring rather frequently these days? And 'satellite debris' from the Feb 10 'collision' being semi-portrayed as the possible cause of these mysterious celestial events may be only a smokescreen to muddy the issue...for how would we know any differently?

Naomi Klein's 'The Shock Doctrine' now a documentary
Naomi Klein's book 'The Shock Doctrine" concerning 'Disaster Capitalism' is being brought to the screen by film makers Michael Winterbottom and Matt Whitecross.
Klein's 2007 book, which details an alternate economic history of the last 30 years, will be updated by this documentary to reflect 2008's economic crisis/meltdown and is now being shown at the Berlin Film Festival in not-quite-completed form.
Naomi Klein believes that the recent banking bailouts amount to "a massive transfer of wealth from public to private hands" which is a demonstrable fact, we know. And we also know where the banks' massive debts have gone - onto the public ledger.
And Voila! Hitler's power-grabbing tactics come round once again!
Yet the documentary doesn't aspire to be a conspiracy theory ode, but a chance for the film's viewers to look at the consequences of the ideas of neo-liberalism's economic guru, Milton Friedman, and make up their minds if they agree with him - or not.
My suspicion is that the long-jobless of the US and the rest of the globe may be inspired to burn Old Miltie in effigy.
What do you think?

Here a SO'W post from July 2008 which relates 2008's economic crisis and banking bailouts with Uranus-Chiron, the 'radical political reformers' duo, and another from Nov 2008 marking the oppressive Pluto-Chiron midpoint at MC, the Aspirational Point of any horoscope chart, to Inauguration 2009.
You'll find links to several articles in both posts, but the second link contains Ralph Nader's 'Uncle Tom' label for Pres. Barack Obama and what Fox News did with it.
