Space Weather News for Nov. 11, 2006
FOUR PLANETS: Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury are all crowded around the sun this weekend. The great conjunction is invisible to the human eye (too much sunlight), but SOHO can see it. The spacecraft's coronagraph is able to block the glare and reveal the planets. Visit SpaceWeather.com for live images.#
Visit George Bush (Sun) for images of who's clustering around his nibs this weekend...perhaps:
moneybags/guru Jupiter (Cheney?), a Venusian, warlike woman (Condi?) or a legal eagle (Gonzales?), Mars (Gates? Rove?), and Mercury (Tony Snow? Bolten?)...well, those are my best guesses with the short notice I gave myself! All are, btw, in Scorpio, sign of big business, hidden power, spying, and The Eagle Point "15Scorpio", one of the prominent points in the August 11, 1999 "King of Terror" Eclipse...so-named hundreds of years ago by Michel Nostradamus.

Oh Canada!
Universities move to hide work from U.S. eyes 11 Nov 2006 Concerned about the U.S. government's prying eyes, a number of Canadian universities are changing the way their professors and students conduct online research. Many university libraries subscribe to RefWorks, a popular U.S.-based Internet tool used by academics and students. But the Patriot Act — which grew out of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and which potentially allows U.S. authorities to sweep through databases such as RefWorks — has prompted Canadian postsecondary institutions to abandon the American server for one housed at the University of Toronto.# from LegitGov.org

Wyoming smells burning gas
Apparent Pipeline Fire Burning in Wyoming in an area of natural gas pipelines southwest of Cheyenne, with flames shooting hundreds of feet in the air and seen from several miles away.
Source of the fire is not immediately available, natch, but so far no injuries are reported. Hope it remains that way.

Washington as shining example
Now that the Republicans have made their public (stage) bows and kowtows to The People's Will, it's time for an example to be shown to the "democracy" in Iraq which they were so determined to ill-advisedly force upon a sovereign nation for whatever reasons stated and unstated, lied about, kept hidden, poorly justified, "exported" or propagandized.
Your reach across "the aisle," representatives OF The People, will be reaching around the world to be seen and remarked upon in Baghdad and elsewhere, for all your lofty rhetoric has come home to haunt you on the Hill--a Hill which once shone out around the globe before your perfidy and greed tarnished it to its current and unrecognizeable state.
After six years+--make that twelve l o n g years of your corruption and misdirected energies--you should either work together for the common good or leave the premises. Fix what you've broken, crumbums.
Lousy service is no longer required, and that goes for Dems and Indies as well.
So get your democracy game on--let's see if you can play, as well as talk, a good game. Your betters could do both--the ones who wrote the Constitution you disdain and the Bill of Rights you undermine.
So often I've referred to We-the-Sheeple, but it is you who should be sheepish, shamed, and embarrassed beyond bearing.
Saturday 11.11.06 is Veterans' Day: Bush said today that the battles in Iraq would be favorably compared by history to our WWII battles. He just won't give it up. He can't, under the ruse of supporting our troops who are currently and so courageously serving their country, thanks to his misadventures.
My heart aches for them and for their families, made more excruciating with the approach of another holiday.
But the only way history will look favorably at Bush's performance is if the rewrite continues apace with superb thrown in front of his sullied name.
Years ago, when I lived in my favorite city of Washington DC, Nixon and Watergate happened, and a ruined atmosphere wafted across the District. I can hardly imagine how rife and rank it must be now.

gremlins in Georgia's GOP
Our local radio station has just announced that the GOP in Georgia will be restoring the Lt. Governor's powers which they had "stripped" from Dem Mark Taylor when he inhabited the position.
Republican Casey Cagle won the Lt Gov's post on Tuesday, and Gov Perdue retained the governor's office against said Mark Taylor who was running for it, so it's ok for a Republican to have some power. Naked power play, isn't it?
Say, you don't think that the Diebold I voted on was rigged or hacked, do you?
And a judge upheld the gerrymandering that took Rep John Barrow away from his hometown and from the people who elected him, but--he won Tuesday anyway! Ha.
So the 13th Colony suffers under the yoke of Republican high-handedness and shenanigans yet again...help!

Leo Strauss and neoconservatism
11.11.06: Here's a list which should be familiar to us all for we're living it:
Straussism-The Zionist Neocon Philosophy Directing The Age Of Tyranny with thanks to Jeff Rense.
11.9.06 post begins here:
Bill Maher has an interesting analysis on HuffPost relating Straussian neocon tactics with those of Scientology, and I can't say I blame him.
Republicans = Scientologists makes some good points, plus you may want to read my post from March concerning Leo Strauss.
My intuition is growing more each hour since the midterm outcomes that, as many peopple would agree, the Republican "grace" in accepting their "defeats"--including Bush's nervous, annoyed press conference (and his "dig" at Rove's lack of actions during the campaign) are only the usual Capitol Hill Theater, dahling...nothing that happens in politics is an accident, and it really IS about 2008.
WHY was Rove in view anyway? How often is that the case?
You probably heard that the knives are out for Nancy Pilosi, and I don't doubt it. The names of the soon-to-be-seated Dem-led Congress are on many a blackmailer's list already.
The arm-twisting began at lunch today no doubt. Of course, when Bush called Pilosi to congratulate her, there was an interesting midpoint picture at MC at that moment (7:15 am, 11.8.06, Washington DC):
Moon/Mars = MC: a woman with strong principles.
So good luck to her on that.
Their Alternate Script:
That the neocons would--or could--"give up" so easily because "the American people have spoken" is about as lame and laughable as it can possibly be so SO'W must file that ditty in the Swamp-Land-For Sale-in-Florida category. Only someone who'd "buy" the Brooklyn Bridge could believe any of their tripe on this--certainly the American people speaking or voting have never bothered them before.
I don't truly believe we've had a voice since at least 1963's coup with JFK's assassination. We've been set up ever since.
Strauss was born in 1899--his minions have been at work a long time and the current jokers have inherited a huge network of connections and operatives worldwide passed down through several generations of win-at-any-cost-ers.
That's what Maher is talking about--the Scientology model which is really the Machiavellian model--do you believe that the ends justify the means?
Then the murder-at-will door is left open for any crook, deviant, or psychopath to walk through. That they reign in Washington is no surprise, and both sides of the aisle are subject to their control--even if they're not on the payroll, they're on the payroll.
INFESTATION:
They have ALL twisted the system into this shape...Ds and Rs--all are in on the lucrative joke, and the ones who aren't won't be around for long.
It was Frederick the Great who said something along the lines of: my people and I have come to an understanding: they are to say what they want, and I am to do what I want.
If that's not the neocon regime's attitude, I don't know what is. Except the 'saying' is under more scrutiny now than ever before a la Bush, and the NWO chugs along.
Yes, old Leo is the so-called father of neoconservatism...and the current crop of dastards are behind the scenes working just as much against the common good as they were before the American people "spoke" this week.
May they be Unmasked at their every turn--and Bill Maher's article is a good peep-eye! at their true and hideous nature. Forewarned is forarmed.
It is such a dream world we live in.

On Scientology:
11.10.06: Note to "Anonymous" commenter of the Scientology persuasion: my tendency to publish anonymous comments has recently ended, and while I applaud your right to defend your faith, you'll have to be more forthcoming than to call Bill Maher a bigot and hide behind "Anonymous." Your comment is filed in the hit-and-run folder.
As far as the science fiction + religion blend goes, it's suitable for satire, as I'm sure you've noticed before now. Imho, it's no better or much worse than the you-need-a-priest vatican mumbo jumbo, yet as I've written here before, some of the kindest people I've known all through my life have been of that religious persuasion.
I don't like to confuse the true believer with the shell-gamers at the top.
So it's religious hierarchies which keep their true motives close to their vests which interest me, and if your religion has meant a lot to you and aided you in any way, I'm sincerely glad.
Certainly I have no particular love of the psychiatric profession, but I should tell you that making strong statements such as Tom Cruise made in his Matt Lauer (sp?) interview and elswhere is no way to be taken seriously--in fact, it alienates (no pun intended.)
You see, I have a firm view on "UFOs" and believe them to be quite different phenomena than Mr Hubbard espoused to his bank account's credit (I refer primarily to his book sales.) If you've heard of straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel you'll know basically where I stand on Scientology...and mind control of the gullible pretty much covers the rest. -jc

Thomas Jefferson said:
"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake."

Dawn of a New Day: Nov 8 2006
As Democratic Saturn hung over the Capitol Building at sunrise today, Pres Bush's natal Venus, recently visited by said Saturn was feeling lonely and unloved. He deserves it.
Asteroid, Minerva (wisdom) is there, too...hopefully an archetype Nancy Pelosi will bring with her. But she might want to can the "most honest, most ethical" slogan though...angels' wings may be needed for that, but we can hope.
We-the-People, Moon 25Gem26, was in the 8th house of taxes, debt, insurance, legacies, transformation, and death.
Sun 15Sco56 arose heralded by contentious Mars at the "A drowning man rescued" degree, causing your reluctant astrologer (moi) to wonder who was being saved--Bush whose Iraq mess is more than he can handle (for you can't solve problems using the same thinking that caused them, and Bush is a one-note kinda guy) or is it YOU, Lieberman? (props to Jon Stewart.)
Rx Mercury at 16Sco52 rises next and still indicating recounts, VA in particular, it seems, but we'll see. Will Macaca Allen have his sway? And then there's Montana's outcome still teetering as I type, 8:00 am.
Venus 18Sco54 is next to rise in square to Bush's natal Venus. If rising Venus is taken for Nancy Pelosi, the first-ever female Speaker of the House, we may expect the blockages and obstacles typical of the square aspect, but much developmental energy is possible as well between Bush's values/relationships and Pelosi's.
And money issues are a province of Venus with raising the minimum wage high on Dems' agenda and Bush desperate to stop it for his corporate fiends (not a typo.)
Also rising: guru-moneybags Jupiter 26Sco31 with his Jupiter Mantra in tow ("every day in every way I'm getting better and better"), but the overconfident prosecution of the Iraq War will be in play, as we may expect.
Jupiter's word picture, "27Sco":
"A military band marches noisily through the streets" = POMP...
keynote: The aggressive glorification of cultural values.
Rudhyar goes on to explain that "Our aggressive, tense Western civilization is indeed in opposition to the natural spontaneity and instinctive adjustment to nature of tribal societies."
The Sun/Asc degree, the WHAT of the chart..."A girl's face breaking into a smile" =
keynote: The fervent reaching out on the part of the young at heart to new experiences (young = Mercury, Moon in Mercury-ruled Gemini--did younger voters turn out?)
keyword: a glowing WARMTH OF FEELING...Rudhayar goes on to say "Smiling is perhaps a uniquely human characteristic because it implies a conscious acceptance of relationship, thus a choice.
Interestingly, the midpoint between Mercury/Uranus is opposite the US natal Sun, so therefore opposite Bush's natal Sun, Merc/Uran = Sun: quick adjustment to new circumstances. Yup!
But, as Noel Tyl says, this picture can also mean: up-to-speed; able to create the surprising move. Will Bush pull his fat at least partially out of the fire? Some people are still betting on him....another "we'll see."
Well, there's much more info in the sunrise chart, the Dawn of a New Day, everything changed, but I'm getting set up now for Bush's best happy-face spin at 1:00 pm today, last I heard.
Now 1:00 pm seems a little tardy, but I guess he needs to practice in front of his mirror (wonder what he sees? Is there an image to behold?) so he can get out in front of the people as he grasps the bully pulpit--for he's a bully and a preacher in his own mind--and mention the war on terror, Iraq, and any other thing he can delusionally cling to. But America is "fed up with rosy pictures" at last.
Admitting that most of us hate his guts will not be on his concession agenda...and at the White House, at 1:00 pm est, Neptune "18AQ": "A man unmasked" degree will be rising...fat lot o'good it seems to do the nation.

The burning bush of Bush
So far Bush's ineptitude and culpability are affecting the outcomes of the midterm elections--it's 11:03 pm est, and Tavis Smiley says CA polls have "just closed"--so here's a SO'W post from June called The burning bush of Bush which you may find somewhat interesting if you've not come across it before, and coming from Andriano Carelli's book on degree symbolism.
Be sure to read all three degrees: 8, 9, and 10 Leo esp 10 Leo which describes a scythe pattern in the sky forming now and coming to fruition in 2007. Sounds like the scythe may be in operation for the GOP already...a turn-of-fortunes kind of harvest in play and with more to come.
And Neptune continues to hang out at the "A man unmasked" degree, in the Sabian Symbols.
11:13 pm--Tavis announces that the Dems have taken the House--Nancy Pelosi at the helm, it seems. Perhaps we'll be able to recognize our government again with checks and balances restored, I hope. America is sending a message to Washington, but she'd better get back more in return than empty rhetoric and slogans.
Sending out a BIG SO'W Congratulations to all winners tonight! Tag, you're it.
