Did The Conservatives Get What they Wanted From Clinton's Benghazi Testimony? clip

Oct 23, 2015: Ed Schultz interviews a conservative Heritage Foundation member concerning yesterday's 11-hour Benghazi Committee hearing as she spins the Republicans' performances and questions as dandy fine (my southernism, not hers--just peachy works, too):

What I Garnered from the October 22, 2015 Benghazi Hearing

by Jude Cowell

For me, the primary points brought out in yesterday's hearing concern the over dramatized brouhaha over Hillary Clinton's emails particularly from her friend Sidney Blumenthal and the lack of emails to her from Ambassador Chris Stevens: the fact that State Department communiques were and are by cable, phone, conference calls, and in person--not by email. Seems Republicans were off the mark on that one along with their misunderstanding (or ignoring) of the government protocol of the State Department which Ambassador Stevens necessarily followed to contact the security officials who made the decisions.

Then there's the decreased funding for embassy security budgets thanks to the US Congress which were made critical in 2011 along with automatic Sequestration cuts soon taking effect. You'll remember that Sequestration austerity along with the 'Super Congress' idea intended to deflect criticism came to fruition under the sinister auspices of a difficult Solar Eclipse @2Sag35--where accountability-bringer Saturn now trods. Here's the DC horoscope with details on this eclipse with its peculiar turn of events theme.

Immediately after the tragedy, I suspect the Obama administration's attempt to hide the Benghazi attacks under cover of a controversial video protest rather than as a terrorist event (in an election year) was also intended to deflect criticism, a politically motivated tactic which the Republican Party has used many times themselves and will do so again. After all, Washington DC is based more on fakery than truth and when truth does come out it's usually extremely inconvenient. That's a good reason for considering eclipses affecting the city and the US government since as Uranian 'wild cards of the Universe', eclipses tend to suddenly reveal hidden truths and dark secrets for all to see!

It will be interesting to tune in tonight (10.23.15) at 9:00 pm edt to MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Show to hear Rachel's interview with 2016 candidate Hillary Clinton. No, I am not a Hillary fan but will vote on November 8, 2016 for a dirty mop before I vote Republican.

Congressman Jim Jordan Accuses Hillary of Lying about Benghazi - clip

October 22, 2015 5:04 pm EDT: it isn't over yet but here are two video clips concerning today's Benghazi Committee 'hearing' for those with no time to watch it unfold. Yours truly watched for the first 5 hours until the 1 1/2 hour break at 1:19 pm edt. I'll pick it up again this evening:

Caller: VP Biden, Republicans ARE the Enemy! - clip (plus a grump)

A 'go along get along guy' is not the lackadaisical way that yours truly would describe VP Joe Biden's attitude as discussed in the following clip from the Thom Hartmann Show.

*Unforgivingly, I'd use terms involving the Big Picture 'Chess Game' played by imperialist global government operatives, a game or 'great plan' which is often referred to as a 'new world (economic) order' and total control grid being implemented by groups such as the Trilateral Commission, the Bilderberg Group, the supranational banking system, and other cabals, councils, and societies both secret and invisible which work toward a common goal. Any politician can afford to be graciously inclusive when he's part of the R vs D ruse, a convenient scam used to keep the American people divided and weakened since he (or she) was read in to the mission years ago and supports the Big Picture.

But of course, everyone likes Joe Biden so my fuss is only Capricorn me--a dissenting American who became *fed up years ago with what they've 'done with the place', the idealistic land we like to call the United States of America, the nation that infiltrators have worked so diligently for years to undermine and hollow out our government and Constitution, and collapse our society into complete chaos as a model for the entire world. This way the engineered global collapse will be total and all those left standing will plead for a 'new world order' to be installed to allegedly 'solve' the chaotic conditions that surround us. Joe Biden has been in politics for what--40 years? What has he done to stop America's decline? For example, did the 'war on drugs' stop it or boost it?

Yes, it's the Marxist Hegelian Dialectic being used against humanity to manipulate and force the Collective toward a predetermined outcome, aka, the Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis model. 1776 marked the beginning of a new world order which peaked with the Bretton Woods Agreement but now 'the powers that think they be' want a different global system that leaves behind what the power elite sees as the outdated concepts of democracy, freedom, independence, liberty, equality, and privacy. Outdated for the masses, that is.

Okay, I'll hush this grump for now amidst tonight's multiple media tributes to Just Joe Biden and immediately suggest a listen to Thom speaking with a caller to his show who makes a point that stood out to me as I listened to VP Biden's announcement of his non-run and which inspired my above grump:

Is Paul Ryan on the Ultimate Power Trip? video

Paul Ryan is the Same as He has Always Been (10-21-15) - video

Here are a Astro-Notes on the Personality of Rep. Paul Ryan if you're curious (I didn't have his birth time then.) So more to the point, The Political Astrology Blog has revealed Ryan's recorded birth time (2:37 am) on January 29, 1970 Janesville, Wisconsin. Born at 2:37 am CST gives him a Libra Moon and a Locomotive pattern of executive talent and a drive to success with powerful Pluto @27Virgo as the engine--in his 10th house of Career and Public Status.

As for assuming the heavy responsibility of the Speaker of the House position, karmic Saturn now @2Sagittarius has just crossed Paul Ryan's natal Ascendant (00:38) after a stomp upon his natal Neptune @00Sag35 (he's a thespian it seems.) This is the 'dream come true' or 'the grim face of reality' transit and my suspicion is that for Rep. Ryan, is he accepts the Speaker position he will experience a bittersweet mixture of both.

Just say No to Joe.

Trey Gowdy Tells the World: GW Bush is a Traitor! video

My thought is that Republicans and other politicians in breach of the public trust should certainly be able to recognize a traitor since it takes one to know one.

October 22, 2015 Re-Match: Gowdy 1964 vs Clinton 1947

by Jude Cowell

On September 3, 2015 I posted a video of Thom Hartmann discussing Trey Gowdy (R-SC) and his "political witch hunt" against Hillary Clinton, a 2016 candidate who is again scheduled to testify before a Gowdy-run Benghazi hearing on Thursday October 22, 2015.

Looking at a horoscope for Oct 22, 2015 set for Capitol Hill it looks like fairly smooth sailing for Hillary with negligence as the main charge against her if a rising Saturn @3Sag04 tells the legal tale (Moon-Jupiter = Saturn.) Check the 10th house of Career, Public Status, and Reputation and we find quite a fortuitous line up of planets: Venus (leader of a Locomotive pattern of success and executive power) @12Virgo, generous Jupiter @15Virgo, Mars @17Virgo, North Node @00Libra (conjunct US natal MC in the 'Sibly' chart), and testifying Mercury @12Libra, a critical degree, with Mercury also ruling hearings and such. And at 10:00 am edt, Venus precisely conjoins MC on Capitol Hill...

A rounding-up of lady Venus' degree to 13Sag gives a very appropriate Sabian Symbol (word picture): "A Powerful Statesman Overcomes a State of Political Hysteria" which Dane Rudhyar describes as "a personage endowed with CHARISMA, this elusive and mysterious power that comes from a man's or woman's openness to the power of planetary evolution."

Plus, considering recent news reports that undermine Trey Gowdy and his Benghazi Committee, it would save US tax payers time and money if this wastrel Republican partisan 'take-down' of a democratic candidate--their political nemesis--was canceled though of course you may disagree. And naturally Committee Chair Gowdy is defending Committee Efforts ahead of Clinton's appearance.

Yet there may be a fly in Hillary's Benghazi ointment and his name is Trey Gowdy.

Born on August 22, 1964 just prior to the Great Conjunction/s of Uranus and Pluto (1965-1966), Gowdy's natal Pluto @13Virgo is also triggered these days by Venus denoting a period when strategy is necessary in order to manipulate outcomes and he attempts to take charge of every detail. Simultaneously, Pluto @13Cap now trines his natal Pluto, a generational influence denoting added power (or the demand for it.) Plus, Gowdy's natal Mercury @17Virgo Rx is activated on October 22 by transit Mars which shows a tremendous increase of ideas and plans, a faster pace of life, and which partially describes his insistent demands that others speak (testify) in combative group sessions (hearings.) Of course, when Mercury and Mars are linked there's a decided leaning toward Politics.

In addition, Gowdy's natal Uranus @9Virgo has recently been activated by the Virgo line-up mentioned above so unpredictability is part of the picture (ex: Kevin McCarthy's inconvenient revelation on the political nature of the Benghazi Committee to lower Hillary's poll numbers.) With quirky rebel Uranus involved, alliances breaking apart and/or unusual if temporary partnerships are possibilities for Mr. Gowdy.

Now it seems interesting to me that a natal midpoint picture in Gowdy's natal horoscope is now echoed or stimulated by a transiting Mercury-Uranus = Pluto T-Square which is in effect on October 22, 2015. Mercury-Uranus = Pluto: added slurs and vulgarities in speech (Munkasey); getting the biggest job done in a commanding way (Tyl); a hasty realization of plans; over-strained nerves (Ebertin.)

And after three long years of Benghazi hearings we may wish to note that Mr. Gowdy's natal Saturn (authority; responsibility; accountability; fear) @1Pis49 Rx has in recent years been touched by nebulous Neptune's fairy wand of delusion with Neptune a higher octave ruler of Pisces. This marks a time when one becomes even more idealistic than usual and misguided tendencies cast an obscuring veil over one's sense of Saturnian reality. Add to that Gowdy's natal Neptune @15Scorpio--conjunct Hillary Clinton's natal Venus @16Scorpio--and it is doubtful that her relationships and diplomatic efforts can ever be truly and clearly perceived by Benghazi Committee Chair Trey Gowdy whose natal Sun (ego) conjoins royal star of Persia, Regulus, the king.
