The Declaration of Independence as Corporate Document

Today I am pleased as can be to present a summation by my astro-friend Alex D'Atria on what the Declaration of Independence actually is and the relationship between America and Britain long before we Americans (and perhaps a few Brits, too) had been propagandized for decades on this noble experiment, we-the-people's America.

Experiment, yes. Noble? You decide.


The Declaration of Independence was the commemorative document making America a provisional government; it announced, declared that the Continental Congress had the authority and control to conduct trade and commerce for its own interests; the British Crown shareholders could no longer have a 'cut' in American business ventures without agreeing to new terms of business with the American principles.

The British Empire-Crown operated their business ventures with three types of agreements; the charter colony, the proprietary colony, and the royal colony.

British charters are partially analogous to corporations who have shareholders - owners who get dividends on their investment; in a way you could say the Declaration of Independence document was the first prospectus of The American Enterprise, a financial document defining the rights of individuals - owners severing their former 'contracts' consisting of the Proprietary Colony financial deals with the 'Crown.'

The pivotal event (pre-American revolution for the individuals who held Proprietary colonial agreements) happened when the British Crown converted the Proprietary colonial terms of business to the Royal Colony terms of business; the British Empire reversed itself and reclaimed the resources and assets formerly granted under Proprietary colony terms.

The British empire granted land and the resources therein to the party-principles holding the proprietary agreements similar to venture capitalists giving seed money and development phase money to a new enterprise. Then later when the enterprise had developed into a thriving business, the venture capitalists-British Empire took the developed business back pulling the rug out from under the business owners, so to speak.

The Treaty of Paris 1783 was the official formal closing of the American Revolutionary War. The Treaty was the official recognition by the British empire that the American colonies were a sovereign nation.

The Jamestown Virginia settlement 1607 was a charter colony; the charter, analogous to corporation, put up the capital for the new world settlers for transportation, supplies, seed money, living expenses, etc; the British and global capitalists were collective shareholders in the start-up Jamestown settlement venture.

Checking the date (without knowing the precise hour) for the signing of the Treaty of Paris we see that the Moon reached 00Sag00 at 10:58 am LMT (Paris, FR, Sep 3, 1783) which gives "The Halloween Jester" as the Moon's Sabian Symbol; at 11:00 am Moon 00Sag01 gives "1Sag": "A Grand Army of the Republic Campfire."

Sun at 11:00 am is @ 10Vir45, with ASC 11Sco36, Mc 25Leo10; Hour of the Sun; Crescent phase 79degr16; Chiron 20Tau10 Rx; NN 18Pis42; Venus 24Lib27; Uranus 11Can02; Neptune 8Lib54.

There are a few interesting midpoint pictures which do not depend on an exact time, so here they are, and as usual with midpoint pictures it's an any~all-or none-may-apply affair, yet they may give us some flavorings of the day:

First, two T-Squares form these pictures - you'll notice the Saturn/Uranus opposition and the Mars/Neptune opposition:

Mars/Neptune = Uranus: changing energy levels; crisis.

Saturn/Uranus = Neptune: falsehood or malice caused by weakness; resolving oneself to the inevitable; abandonment of resistance; weakening strength; separation.

Saturn/Pluto = Jupiter: religious and social fanaticism; trouble with authority; adoption of the austere; trying to save what's left; self-sacrifice.

Venus/NN = Saturn: a renewed awakening to reality.

The following mdpt pictures depend on the hour because the fast-moving Moon and the transiting Midheaven are involved, but see what you think (and if you can find the precise time of the Treaty's signing, please let me know - with Freemasonry's Sacred Geometry available to them, you know they elected a particular and auspicious moment for the signing of such a document):

Moon/Mars = Pluto: one-sidedness; fanaticism; powerful opinionation; a demanding nature (that's string-puller Pluto @ 8AQ07 Rx...'9AQ' = "A Flag Turned into an Eagle.")

Dane Rudhyar gives the Keynote for '9AQ' as: 'The dynamic incorporation of new social values in individuals who exemplify the spiritual potential and greatest significance of these values.' He continues: 'The image has become a Power' (America - jc); 'the seer must become the doer; the impersonal is dynamized and brought into focus. We have here the ACTING OUT of the vision.' (An Astrological Mandala.)

And Sir Francis Bacon's 'vision' was (a globe-dominating, new-world-ordering) America.

Another lunar midpoint picture from 1783: in complete synchronicity with 2009's three conjunctions of the speculative, grandly designing pair, Jupiter and Neptune, meeting all through 2009 with the US natal Moon of we-the-people...

Jupiter/Neptune = Moon: becoming involved in speculation; wastefulness; instability; little sense of reality; losing oneself in plans; going with the wind; an emotional swoon.

At 11 am LMT, Mercury, planet of negotiations, contracts, signing documents and those who sign them, was @ 23Vir33 which sextiles US natal Mercury "25Can"...1783 Mercury @ "24Vir" = "Mary and Her White Lamb." Mercury made no applying aspects that day and thus is strenthened by its sign and degree, but had separated from SN 18Vir42 and was beyond a trine with Jupiter 22Cap59 Rx.

Transiting Jupiter approaches US natal Pluto 27Cap33 Rx, a time when success and resources increase. Jupiter-to-Pluto actually occurred 3x in 1783: Mar 23, July 20, and Nov 14...1783 was an important year for American expansionism with natal Pluto in n 2nd house of Money and Values (US Sibly chart.)

Plus, on June 1, 1783, tr Uranus conjoined US n Jupiter, a 'breakthrough' transit of independence and a period when we headed down a new path as our horizons expanded; lifestyle choices and political, religious, and economic affiliations were prime interests...keyword: growth.

There was a generational transit in effect, too: tr Neptune trine US n Uranus, planet of revolution: another 'breakthrough' transit when our blend of idealism and inspiration created fortunate circumstances for our fledgling nation.

Mars, planet of war, @ 14Ari34, was a participant in the T-Square as previously mentioned. Mars opposes US natal Saturn, a period when the authority of others is resented (!), and caution is needed to keep from provoking resentment in others; rules and regulations must be followed.

Jupiter opposed US natal Mercury 3x in 1783: March 4, Aug 17, and Oct 20, so the Treaty is in the midst of this drawn-out transit, a time when the true value of ideas or information may be misjudged and the sheer volume of info is confusing; impractical ideas, grandiose schemes, and a lack of attention to detail are probable.

Another factor that I personally find of much interest is that the signing of the Treaty of Paris occurred during a Mercury-to-US-natal-Neptune transit which indicates that the true meaning or accuracy of information is difficult to grasp and 'getting to the bottom of things' only results in more questions.

Ideas and information are understood in a mystical or spiritual sense.

Authoritative Saturn 5Cap59 Rx has an intriguing Sabian Symbol..."6Cap": "A Dark Archway with Ten Logs at the Bottom"...'archway' can relate to Freemason lodges of the Grand Arch, etc, and '10 logs' refers on some level to the 10 articles of the Treaty!

Now I have no idea if MP David Hartley, who signed on behalf of King George III, was a Freemason, Rosicrucian, or Illuminatist, but the US signers, Ben Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay were Freemasons and perhaps more...John Jay was SCOTUS' Chief Justice from 1789 - 1795.

To close, here is a list of SCOTUSers who were Freemasons. Enjoy!

Bernie Madoff in prison: how's that goin'?

Financial heister extraordinaire Bernard Madoff was given a 150 year prison sentence so one might expect to be a little curious as to how that's goin' these days, early days though they be.

After all, we can't depend on Dave Letterman for all our Madoff news, can we? Honestly, I think Dave is more interested in the "lovely Ruth Madoff" don't you?

Well, inmate Madoff is dining on pizza in prison but you'd probably rather read for yourself who's baking the pie...

And if you wish to read a few brief astrology details about the clipped-wing'ed Mr. Madoff (born April 29, 1938), they are available to you with one click.

TARP Thievery marches on

No, the title of this post isn't news to you since AIG is again set to give out millions in bonuses, and American taxpayers seem to have no advocate in Washington at all as the financial travesties continue.

TARP management must be one of those political 'name programs the opposite of what they do' tactics. Tiresome. And I must be elsewhere today so won't have to read about the varmints after this post is posted...but I'll know that somewhere, the TARP Thievery continues.

Fixing the World made fun

Fixing the World the Yes-Men way as these anti-corporate activists continue to rake the ruling class over the coals of ridicule while outing corporate greed and fraud - wish they'd rake faster! Well, now they have a movie.

Sun Libra-Moon Scorpio images: Oct 18, 2009

Having missed my chance entirely to post something on the New Moon in Libra earlier, I've decided to splash up the Sun Lib-Moon Scorpio blend that has taken effect after the New Moon (25Libra-Libra) because one of the two Images for Integration always intrigues me...see what you think about the current atmosphere and the word images given below.

Air-Water blends tend to be on the misty, ethereal side. This mind + emotion combo produces energies with a wonderful sense of humor; it's a very creative blend on the romantic and poetic side, too. With Sun in Air and Moon in Water there are mystical tendencies in the wings though negatively this blend may give a certain 'feeling vs thinking' or 'attached vs detached' confusion.

Impracticality and/or procrastination may result when the Lib-Sco energies are not synthesized consciously for best effect through directed use.

Sun Lib-Moon Sco: 'An army general becomes patron of a new museum of art...A wolf and an elegant Burmese cat become inseparable friends.' (Sun Sign-Moon Sign, Chas & Suzi Harvey.)

As far as the collective unconscious goes, we've got army generals coming out our several ears, but a "wolf and a Burmese cat"? Notice early on Monday (Oct 19) and into Tuesday if you hear words along those lines in the media or in conversation!

And if President Obama is the elegant Burmese cat (his natal Sun and Mercury are in Leo - and he's 'the ruler' = Leo; plus, he wears elegance well, doesn't he?)...then who oh who might be the wolf?



Here's one of my catlike Blue Tiger Art icons to rouse your elegant yet wild animal instincts for Monday morning and into Tuesday, Oct 20!

Stars Over Washington turned 4 years old on Oct 16, 2009 and will be found at a new address before the week is over, which is:

www.starsoverwashington.com for your records.

Its old Blogspot address should continue to work as well but I thought I'd let all 10 readers of this blog know what's up this week for SO'W. jc

Freemasonry in America and Dan Brown's interview

Freemasonry Watch has the story of the abduction and murder of Captain William Morgan, if you're interested.

The Morgan murder seemed to be officially admitted by a current-day Freemason last evening on NBC's presentation about Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol, with the Tom Hanks film being touted as well.

Since I'm just now looking at the Morgan murder I have no opinion of it, but that state of unawareness could change at any moment...

If you watched the interview with Dan Brown last night were you surprised at the statue of George Washington modeled as Zeus that once sat in the Capitol Building?

I heard of the statue years ago and thought of it during the 2008 campaign - especially during the DNC in Denver - when classic columns flanked Barack Obama, Republicans cried fowl since they thought they had dibs on Greek symbols for politicians, and mentions (by me admittedly) of Obama-as-
Apollo (the Sun god and god of medicine) ran rampant through cyberland.

It is well known that George Washington and several other founding fathers were Freemasons and perhaps members of other secret organizations, too. Actually, Stars Over Washington was founded in large part on my desire to uncover these links so I recommend that you follow the trail to Washington DC's true heritage without delay.

And I suspect that Dan Brown's book and the film itself will be very inspiring in our search for the true origins - and long-planned secretive mission - of America.

Astro-peek at a Boy in a Balloon - real or hoax?

Balloons, one level of Jupiter-Neptune floating up from the collective unconscious!

Expert astrologer Julie Demboski has taken a look at the charts of the boy-in-balloon controversy and gives her opinion on whether it was a hoax or not. (Scroll a bit to 'Oct 16' for the balloon story.)

Being involved of late with much artwork I'd had no time to have an astro-peek at the situation and was grateful to find Julie's insights into this odd matter.

Next time someone wants to lose their child in a helium balloon and call attention to it, may I suggest a real balloon, not a homemade one? Some lovely rainbow stripes would have been nice on camera. Can you tell on which side of the real vs hoax debate I stand?

Of oil pipelines and Jupiter/Neptune conjunctions

Bill Sardi is asking if a long-hoped-for oil pipeline in Afghanistan is what's really going on with US war escalation there.

On Feb 12, 1998, UNOCAL's vp of international relations, John J. Marcesa, testified to Congress on a proposed pipeline through Central Asia, on the lack of human and women's rights under the Taliban regime, and how the oil and gas reserves in the region might shape US foreign policy.

Even the elusive Osama bin Laden was mentioned by inference, not by name, so the question begs: was the 1998 testimony a ploy to put this information into the congressional record to support future warmongering?

1998 was the year that corruption charges were brought against Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan, and oddly enough, Pakistan's The Crescent Group was (is?) in a multi-national consortium with UNOCAL along with Russia's Gazprom, plus, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and the government of Turkmenistan.

Also in 1998: President Bill Clinton presented a balanced budget - first one since 1969; impeachment attempts against Clinton began; US gov vs Bill Gates/MS for monopolizing; the central bank in Japan was raided and financial scandals mounted; President Boris Yeltsin dismissed all 29 of his ministers in a major power play; India and Pakistan both detonated nuclear weapons.

Oh, something else for 1998 that I almost forgot: US and UK naval forces threatened to bomb Iraq if Saddam Hussein didn't comply with weapons inspectors.

Astrologically in 1998, Neptune finally left staid Capricorn and entered boundary-breaking Aquarius where progressive, quirky Uranus already played with computers and such - and the information revolution was on.

I know of no Great Conjunctions of outer planets (plus Jupiter or Saturn, the societal planets) for 1998, but on Jan 9, 1997 at 27Cap09, a Great Conjunction between the inflationary, speculative pairing of Jupiter/Neptune took place upon US natal Pluto, and we're still suffering under its effects as global wheeler-dealers continue their plans for imperialist expansion and resource-plundering as mentioned in the above-linked article with 1998's congressional testimony part of the set-up and the attacks of 9/11 the major triggering event, as it turned out. (Americans won't go to war without a 'noble cause' as our politicians figured out several decades ago. Remember Pearl Harbor.)

The January 1997 conj was the last meeting of Jupiter and Neptune until 2009's three conjunctions, the final one being on Dec 21, 2009 @ 24AQ18 - again atop US natal Moon (the people): losing oneself in speculations; little sense of reality; the desire to dream; instability; wastefulness.

But then there's the one from 1997 - still influencing globalists' plans, imo:

Jupiter/Neptune = n Pluto: plans unreasonable beyond measure; far-reaching speculations; self-projection out of hand; major adjustment of life circumstances; a great loss.

America. She is a great loss, isn't she?

Noam Chomsky: "If the Nuremberg laws were applied..."

Three quotes from Noam Chomsky:

"If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged."

Surely no rational or realistic person will discount the possibility that [during wartime] the United States might suddenly resort to nuclear weapons. Those who retain the instinct for survival, not to speak of minimal concern for their fellow man, will seek ways to act before rather than after the event." (At War with Asia,1970, p. 52)

"Our crimes, for which we are responsible: as taxpayers, for failing to provide massive reparations, for granting refuge and immunity to the perpetrators, and for allowing the terrible facts to be sunk deep in the memory hole. All of this is of great significance, as it has been in the past."

~:~

Here's a SO'W post linking to one of Mr. Chomsky's articles from Oct 2008 on how captialism is anti-democratic, and how when the Bretton Woods Treaty was set up after the war, neoliberals - the same ilk of folk who brought us the 2008 financial collapse - hated it.

Bilderbergers built the EU: Alex Jones video

Alex Jones with guest Paul Joseph Watson speaking on the Nazis in the early 1940s who envisioned a new European economic empire to be shoved through by consent not by conquest. These top Nazis, the Bilderbergers, are now admitting that they founded the European Union.

The Bilderberg Group is the shadowy crew that then-Senator Obama slipped away during the 2008 campaign to meet with in Chantilly, Virginia.

No details of their meeting have been released that I know of but you may remember that Mr. Obama later was rewarded with the presidency of the United States.

A Matrix of Propaganda

Not wanting to surreptitiously sneak a controversy-discussing website into SO'W's sidebar links list, I hereby announce the addition of Propaganda Matrix to the offerings here.

Mainstream propaganda we got plenty of without even trying so something a little different might fill in the gaps of knowledge that governments work so hard and spend so much taxpayer money to muddy - all to their advantage.

So if you're thinking of having an H1N1 swine flu inoculation, Propaganda Matrix is an alternate resource for balancing the WHO-network media-Big Pharma-government view that's bringing windfall profits to Big Pharma during what is, for most people, a recession.

And recruitment is up for our military as I expected when the financial crisis was hitting...Uncle Sam needs you and you need a job. Now they're officially admitting that it's due to a lack of jobs in the economy.

Thus US plans for perpetual war proceed purposefully...assuring perpetual debt into infinity.

Gold hits record high; Engineer to speak about 9/11 demolitions on Oct 21, 2009

On Wednesday, Oct 21, 2009, engineer and former NASA executive Dwain Deets will give a multi-media presentation on behalf of 900+ architects and engineers concerning evidence of explosive demolition at all three World Trade Center buildings on Sept 11, 2001.

As gold hits a record high today, Oct 14, 2009, I continue to wonder where the gold stored in a cellar vault at the WTC now resides...I read that it was moved just before Sept 11, but have not found verification of it yet.

How did 'they' know to move it?
