Sufferin' Speculators!
The whole of 2009 will be influenced by the idealistic combo of expansive Jupiter and inflationary Neptune hooking up for the first time since 1997, so you may wish to read a freshly published post with details on this 13-year cycle of Jupiter and Neptune, both of which relate to spirituality...Jupiter as codified religion and Neptune as spirituality.
And of course we know that there will be oil and gas to consider whenever Neptune is in the cauldron - while rich Jupiter simply loves the money these treasures provide!

Keep the terror pot boiling: attack Iran
Method In The Madness: Why They Want To Attack Iran
By Ed Kinane
Attacking Iran keeps the pot boiling. It perpetuates the phony war on terror. More war provides more enemies and so more pretext to erode civil liberties. Unscrupulous politicians and certain corporations thrive when fear keeps people dumb and dazed. With another invasion the Halliburtons and Blackwaters get to lap up more contracts.

Additionally, here's a link to a previous post - one of my early ones here on Stars Over Washington - concerning an astrological signature of radical reformers in government who believe that chaos is not just useful for their purposes, but is the undergirding of their movement to create a one-world-government:
Chiron-Uranus Types in Government - and Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine theory is an extreme example of how these self-appointed social tinkerers work against society's good while pocketing all the cash and stacking up bricks of gold within their hidden Midas lairs.

McCain's Neverending war: video link
In his own words, folks!
Is it possible that POW McCain has never left war?
Now Barack Obama will almost certainly disappoint the American people on redeploying from Iraq soon enough to suit (like 5 years ago), withdrawing, etc, but I'll have to take my chances on that because look at the alternative with McCain...American children as cannon fodder for many years to come- that's what Maverick McCain is promising in spite of his recent equivocations.
And we know that the USA has some hard days ahead and has reached the limits of her power in the world (Progressed Full Moon in Virgo, December 2008; Mars now Rx by Progression...Mars = the military; police force - which will be used at home.)
But as the I Ching so wisely advises those who are willing to learn: there's no shame in regrouping forces to plan anew!

Look up! space junk descending
Space Weather News for July 22, 2008
DESCENDING SPACE JUNK: Almost exactly one year ago, on July 23, 2007, International Space Station astronauts threw an obsolete, refrigerator-sized ammonia reservoir overboard.
The 1400-lb piece of space junk has been circling Earth ever since and now, in July 2008, its orbit has decayed so much that it has become an easy naked-eye target for backyard sky watchers.
The "Early Ammonia Servicer" (EAS for short) is almost as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper and growing brighter as it descends.
Today's edition of SpaceWeather.com displays photos of the EAS, which is expected to burn up in Earth's atmosphere in late 2008 or early 2009.
Readers who wish to see the EAS with their own eyes should check the Simple Satellite Tracker for flyby times: flybys - Europeans are favored with flybys this week, North Americans next week.

Is Bush to stay on and on and on?
Bush at the helm: can a lifetime be enough? has been freshly published if you can stand a glop of George Bush's dictatorship possibilities, along with some FISA-related ranting on my part.
Perhaps it's cheeky monkey of me, but I relate the whole glop of political neocon high-handedness to a possible reason why John McCain has been "accepted" as the GOP's 2008 prez nominee - McCain the maverick who couldn't pass muster for them not so very long ago.
Anyway, it's all devil's food for thought!

Reality Check: The Democrats Are The Real Problem
By Mike Whitney
If the path to peace requires crushing the Democratic Party and its blood-thirsty candidates; so be it. The main thing is to stop the killing. If Obama won't do it, we'll find someone who will.

The Problem Of Patriotism
By James Rothenberg
Race, sex, and religion do not demand your loyalty but your country does. Your village or town doesn't. Your city doesn't. The state you live in doesn't. New York and California don't care if you are loyal to them.
What's the difference? Armed force. Uncle Sam needs you. To fight.

White House email snafu favors Obama Iraq plan
Over at politico.com Jonathan Martin carries the tale of another email adventure from the White House.
Seems al Maliki favors Barack Obama's proposed 16-month withdrawal from Iraq and the 'endorsement' by the Iraqi politician, a neocon creation, was inadvertently sent out en masse rather than remaining for their eyes only.
And just when Bush has been making propagandistic noises about Iraq withdrawal in timely fashion for the November elections. Oops!
Now how inconvenient for John McCain is that?

Are Biden's marbles lost?
Senator Joseph Biden has introduced a bill to send more billions to Pakistan to fight terrorism - since the billion dollar bribes have worked perfectly so far...
But what can you do with a Hill-full of irrepressible drunken sailors with major pocket-lining tendencies?
Send a decent one to join the Washington throng? It only ends up spoiling 'em as they are cautioned to vote as the party tells them if they want to keep their jobs, the little newbies, so wide-eyed and desperate to stay in sparkly Washington and rule the world alongside the (pompous) big dogs.
That's how it's done - maintain the elitist status quo while posing for the cameras, holding hearings, and 'serving' on committees whose main outcomes consist in making more noise than improvement.
Didn't I say here on SO'W that the November 2006 elections would show us the pudding's proof or be a song-and-dance wash out...or words to that effect? What would Dem control amount to?, I asked. Not much, as we see - but the mega-propagandized "WOT" has certainly been a terrific bottomless pit for pilfering taxpayers' money, hasn't it?
Oldie But Moldie:
Early in the Bush regime I proffered a Tar'n'Feather Fund with donations accepted...and it's still bubbling on the hob, m'peops!

Jupiter, the Moon, and ISS flybys
Space Weather News for July 16 and 17, 2008
PRETTY SKY ALERT: The brightest lights in the night sky are having a get-together. On July 16th and 17th, Jupiter and the nearly-full Moon will be side-by-side in the constellation Sagittarius. The pair rise in the southeast just after nightfall and remain visible all night long.
That's not all: The International Space Station is making a series of evening passes over Europe and North America and it will join Jupiter and the Moon over many towns and cities.
Check the Simple Satellite Tracker to find out when to look: Flybys!
COLLIDING STORM UPDATE: Earlier this month, Jupiter's Little Red Spot got caught between two larger storms (the Great Red Spot and Oval BA), and the Little Red Spot was destroyed. Or was it?
New amateur photos of Jupiter show that the Little Red Spot may be re-forming. Not only that, it seems to be drifting back toward the Great Red Spot for a second collision.
Updates will be posted on SpaceWeather.com as the storms converge anew.
