Here's an article from Stars Over Washington's Looks As If It's True Department:
Obama sides with banks accused of racism which is difficult to believe and even harder to stand for.
He's begun to sound too much like Bush3 for me.
The subprime mortgage case involves several of those Pluto-Chiron isms and I don't think a cute little black'n'white puppy should take precedence over this legal case in the media no matter *who gifted the Portugese water dog to the young Obama daughters (sweet as they are.)
Actually I think it's not about racism for Mr. Obama per se, it's about protecting the financially powerful elite who helped put him in office for such a purpose as this. Perhaps Pres. Obama is more of a monarchist than a racist, hmm?
Well? Have you any thoughts on the matter?

Econo-Crisis article round-up - with pithiness in between
For a weekend plethora of articles you may not find better than the following list if you're up for econo-crisis/financial collapse/government-and-banking fraud issues and what to do about them.
Apologies, but I couldn't refrain from tucking pithy comments in between each one...but I don't believe I've ever heisted any money from you, so perhaps you might forgive me my pithiness eventually, yes?
"Liquidate the Banks; Fire the Executives!"
By Mike Whitney
While Congress approved a mere $700 billion in emergency funding for the TARP, Geithner and Bernanke deftly sidestepped the public opposition to more bailouts and shoveled another $3.3 trillion through the back door via loans and leverage for crappy mortgage paper that will never regain its value. #
(It was crappy to begin with. -jc)
A Plea To President Obama: Don't Bankrupt America
By Sarah van Gelder
President Obama's massive giveaway to Wall Street threatens to bankrupt the federal government and undermine the agenda that got him elected. Here are some first steps needed to change course. #
(Too late - the NWO deed is accomplished, for the most part. -jc)
The Looting of America
By Barry Grey
The New York Times on Thursday published a front-page article that provides further insight into the economic and class interests that are being served by the Obama administration's economic "recovery" policies. #
(Pluto-Chiron = plutocracy; oppression; class warfare; corporatism and any other ism you'd care to name including fascism, racism, militarism, and imperialism; disenfranchisement; primal violence, etc. America's natal Pluto-Chiron midpoint at '9 Pisces' is conjunct her natal Ceres, asteroid of nurturing and security, which worked well to some degree with plutocrats running the middle class show - and vastly enriching themselves - until the jig was up at the New Millennium...
and now everyone - even the myopic among us who can't be bothered with ugly old Politics - can see its tendrils curling around the foreclosed-upon porch steps...
Pluto and Chiron had their Great Conjunction on Dec 30, 1999 - upon US natal Ascendant (Sibly chart = ASC '12 Sag') - and were in parallel mid-August 2004.
'12Sag' is also transiting Pluto's position on the morning of 9.11 (opposite Saturn on US Descendant.) And Dick Cheney's Secondary Progressed Pluto-Chiron midpoint was sitting upon his Progr'd MC (The Goal) on the morning of 9.11.01 - but you really must view his Progr'd chart for 9.11.01 to appreciate its aptness. -jc) Thanks for the heads-up, Anonymous - Cheney link should be de-typo'd now.
Revive Lincoln's Monetary Policy
By Ellen Brown
The bankers had Lincoln's government over a barrel, just as Wall Street has Congress in its vice-like grip today. #
(So Lincoln monkeyed with the central banking system's gravy train and we know where it led our 16th president one dark night: Ford's Theater and a death bed. -jc)
Howard Zinn on Class in America: Video Interview
"In the United States we are really brought up to think there's only really one class. That is, the idea of class conflict, class struggle, that is foreign to American culture." says Zinn. "We're brought up to think that we're part of one big happy family," according to Zinn this is simply a perpetuated lie that contradicts the reality that a large percentage of the population doesn't fit in to this happy family model. #
(Isn't that what governments are for - perpetuating lies? Which doesn't make it right. It makes it perhaps more wrong because their lies and frauds adversely affect - and rob - millions of people. But they think they're above all that lower class 'following laws' nonsense! -jc)
Okay, I'll hush for now about all this ugliness. It IS ugly, I agree.
Yet tomorrow morning is a new day and I shall leap up jubilantly because, as I hope you already know...He is risen!

Limbaugh termed by R caller 'a brainwashed Nazi'
Admittedly I sometimes listen to Rush Limbaugh's radio program to hear the neoconnish crap and to marvel at his apparent ongoing dissolution into total madness and quivering jelliness - and to listen to a sour grape Republican whose 'Operation Chaos' campaign helped elect Barack Obama as president of the United States.
Yet regrettably I missed the Republican caller of April 8 who labeled Limbaugh "a brainwashed Nazi."
Thanks to his show's strict caller-screening, radio's neocon gasbag is not often confronted on-air with such an apt description of himself by a member of his own party who stated that "we're not supposed to torture" and that he voted for McCain (even though Limbaugh ignores this fact to the very end)!
For a hoot, read the transcript and you can avoid the torture of actually listening to Limbaugh's show.
"Talent on loan from God" can be rescinded for justification, it seems.

Astrology of the Weekend: April 10 - 12, 2009
Astute astrologer Julie Demboski is reading stars, planets, and asteroids for a big helping of rebellion for breakfast as part of the celebratory weekend of April 10 through 12, 2009.
If you're into eating a balanced diet, you'd better not have fries with that.
But an American ship's captain safely released from Somali pirates would be mighty appetizing and definitely something to celebrate!

Chernobyl fallout still affecting animals in region
Well, it's been 23 years and animals are even now deformed thanks to fallout from the disaster at Chernobyl Russia, on April 26, 1986 which doesn't include the enormous human misery that nuclear stupidity and its toxic clouds have wrought.
And the ultra-trustworthy power elite and their corporate minions want to build more nuclear reactors in your neighborhood (but not in theirs, of course.)
One word: psychopaths.

Obama urges: refinance your home!
With interest rates shrunk to 4.78% on a 30-year mortgage, Pres. Obama said today that it's time to get busy and refinance your mortgage, US homeowners.
It's in the article, but here's a direct link to Making Home Affordable where you can check out the deal and save a little dough each month if you qualify for remortgaging your digs, so a good plan might be to fill out the papers in time for Venus to turn Direct on April 17 and perhaps she will favor you as she moves forward again into pioneering Aries!

Stewart blasts 'tyrannical Potato Day' of Obama
When Jon Stewart gets going on politicians' ridiculous inconsistencies, he's my main man!
Republican talking points now in soul-searing conflict:
Pres. Obama is a weakling!
vs
Pres. Obama is a tyrant!
Can they have it both ways? Should we-the-people allow them to? Are they trying to make us crazy?
(Yes. Thanks, Jon - for the sanity.)

Astrology of Pres. Obama's return to Washington April 2009
Yes, we're hearing a lot of pros and cons about Pres. Obama's 9-day European-Asian-Iraq tour which completed in the early hours of Wednesday, April 8 (today, 2009) and while a large and disappointed audience may await the president, moneybags Jupiter's Sabian Symbol in today's sunrise chart (set for Washington DC, edt) is telling as well..."A Woman Disappointed and Disillusioned."
In America, Jupiter signifies the Republican Party and its adherents, yet if any female politician on Capitol Hill is feeling 'disappointed' now because of the results (or lack of) from Mr. Obama's trip, my question has to be: why didn't she feel that way about our coup'd government (heisting us blind) years before today?
At '28 Aries' is communicator of (hopefully) good news, Mercury, rising after the Sun (18Ari44 - sunrise 6:46:07 am edt) with chart-ruler Venus at Aries Point of Prominence and Fame...00Ari59 Rx.
Venus: "1Ari"..."A Woman Has Arisen from the Ocean, a Seal Is Embracing Her." Could this specifically refer to Michelle Obama's and Queen Elizabeth's displays of affection? Suits me.
Yet like many astrologers, I always tend to envision America in relation to this word picture, with the Statue of Liberty being our Venusian 'goddess' of copper, the metal of Venus. Also, Venus is US natal chart-ruler (of the Sibly chart - 5:10 pm lmt, July 4, 1776.)
With the chart's ruler retrograde, delays are afoot, and with (sunrise) IC at 10Can24, America's natal Venus, Jupiter, and Sun in Cancer are at the Foundation of the chart (or in the basement!) Powerful 'secret hand' Pluto in 9th house is most-elevated planet.
Anyway, our president 'came home'...Cancer at its natural spot (IC) with US natal Sun in Cancer = 'the leader.'
And US natal Mercury '25Can' Rx is in 4th house as well...'25Can'..."A Man Wrapped in an Invisible Mantle of Power"...which always sounds to me like the supposedly mysterious man who rode into Thomas Jefferson's garden late one night and delivered the design for the Great Seal of the United States as Jefferson and Franklin 'struggled' to come up with a good one.
This seal-delivering incident is said to be connected with Adam Weishaupt (the dark, caped horseman? or a messenger from him?) and his then-new Illuminati Society (Bavarian) which he organized in May, 1776.
The signs of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are thus shared with America's Ura-Nep-Plu signs...Gemini, Virgo, and Capricorn.
Yet these days, after studying charts, reading about politics and other mysteries, and blogging here on Stars Over Washington since Oct 16, 2005, I tend to think of the Great Seal of the United States and the mysterious riddle of its obverse (hidden) side as representing a watershed moment of transition toward the 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' - printed right there under our noses and tied in closely with America's much-vaunted 'Manifest Destiny' we hear so much about but with little honesty to encumber, or hinder, the legend.
For a quick view of the Great Seal, check the back of a US dollar bill, if you have one handy...the 13-step pyramid of power with its all-seeing eye of Horus awaits you.
One of the major factors in today's sunrise/solar chart (with the rising Sun signifying 'the leader' in a national chart - or to a chart relating to the president as we do here) is the Cardinal T-square of energies between Moon 4Lib11 opposite Venus 00Ari59 Rx squaring apex (focal planet) Pluto 3Cap18 Rx in 9th house of Foreign Travel and Distant Lands...
*Apex Pluto in a Cardinal (outgoing~initiating~outwardly directed energy) T-square (two planets opposing one another which both square a third point or planet) is an intense and powerful person or group with a willful desire to fulfill ambitions through manipulation, force, and subversive actions resulting in abuse of power.
This apex Pluto is the high-powered executive - or cartel - who demands penetrating insight into all crucial phases of operation (and I would guess that Pres. Obama journeyed abroad to the Old World to provide just that, among other things. Such a charade we're fed!)
Open contempt or resentment may be exhibited toward anyone who attempts to share control or power, and active confrontation may result. The Cardinal quality of the T-square makes this intense plutonian energy difficult to hide so that people in the environment quite easily 'pick up' on it as it shows its 'hand' more than it usually does.
There's a flavor of 'explosive endings make way for new starts' to this plutonian T-square, and the media honchos and reporters (reporters = Mercury '28 Aries' of 'disappointed audiences') may be the ones who squawk the loudest to fulfill their masters' desires for control, manipulation of public opinion, and power.
Midpoint picture formed by the T-square...
Moon-Venus = Pluto complications and a waste of emotions.
Welcome home, Mr. President. Sorry it has to be under these conditions.
