Depp to make Litvinenko film

Two books are being penned about Alexander Litvinenko, poisoned Nov 1, 2006, one of which is being purchased by Warner Bros for Johnny Depp to film and possibly star in, and the other written--I assume ghost-written--by widow Marina Litvinenko and close family friend, Alex Goldfarb. Theirs is being scooped up by Columbia Pictures.

The Depp/Warner Bros book is by Alan Cowell (no relation) of the NYT.

My question is, who'll play raspy Putin?

I just wish they'd nail the inhuman rascals who would do that to a human being, don't you?

Sheesh! Never thought Johnny Depp would show up in this blog!


Here's the AP article: Depp to Make Film About Poisoned Spy and there's a great blog on Russia and the former Soviet Union called Siberian Light which you should check out for Litvinenko investigation info and much more.

over-lending in Scotland

The Bank of England is playing the wolf-at-the-door role in Scotland with a surprise interest rate increase-the 3rd in 6 months--due to the Bank's (supposed) nervousness at homeowners falling behind in payments.

The Scotsman has it here: Interest rate blow to homeowners-and worse may be to come.

Is this counter-intuitive? Raising rates will increase home repossessions...oh wait...I get it...that's what they want. The wolf is not only at the door, he's having a cuppa by the fireside and twirling his greedy moustache...as per his plan all along. Homeless suckers.

And the common good has fallen prey to globalism again.

maiming and draining America

When George Bush completed his surge speech last evening at 9:22 pm est, tr Jupiter 10Sag13 had just crossed the IC, the Foundation or Base of the chart...aka the HOW Point...aka The Drain.

The Sabian Symbol for "11Sag" is instructive:

"A golden-haired goddess of opportunity"...REWARD:

pos: an irresistible confidence in self and a tireless outreaching to all the wonders of an everyday world;

neg/unconscious/shadow side: consistent diversion of effort to worthless ends.

Bush was put into the role of US President and remains there because he pleases those who put him there. The escalation of war in the Middle East (against Iran primarily) is what the red herring of 'surging Iraq' was invented for so their plans for domination of the entire region may continue.

The last time Bush left the US, I suggested that someone change the locks on all the White House doors but my suggestion wasn't taken--and now look.

Some people are raking it in, some are dying. The ones who are raking it in are sending more people to die or be maimed. Bush stirred up what has always been a hornet's nest, now he's pretending he can calm things down with more bloodshed and a 'stronger-armed' occupation. Even the number of US troops isn't honestly given....there are many more troops there than Bush admits.

Capitol Hill wimps out once again and the American people's wishes don't count...who will stand against a madman? A Hill full of madmen and madwomen?

We used to say the emperor has no clothes but still he was allowed to go on. Do we have the will to act in our own self-interest? Will the railroading ever cease?

Maiming America has been the point and at that Bush, poppy Bush, and their fellow intitiates have succeeded...admirably.

America...Down the Drain with George Bush...but the prosthetic devices are state-of-the-art.

Bush touts his surge urge

White House, Jan 10, 2007 9:00 pm est Moon Hour (publicity; changes):

Well, here's the chart for tonight's 9 pm speech where Bush dons his usual 'political spokesman promoting his cause' robes and performs as "A man making a futurist drawing"...this is the Sabian Symbol for the Ascending degree, the WHAT Point of the the chart (the speech itself.)

The WHY Point, Mc 5Gem06 has asteroid MIDAS and you know what King Midas liked.

At 11:13 pm est George Bush will enjoy his natal Moon Return 16Lib42, aka the Lunar Return. These monthly charts reflect daily goings-on and changes, and applicably the surge speech occurs during a Moon Hour--he has promised changes in the direction of America (and has already provided them--all downward) so the 'ch-ch-changes" theme will obviously be prominent, as will "the future."

Mars-ruled "danger" will of course be well-represented as he bats us over the noggin with the usual purposefully half-baked rhetoric of foggy concepts to disguise the real deal.

Tonight in Bush's Lunar Return the Moon has these applying aspects:

1. inconjunct NN (the public--adjustment required...everyone here I've asked about watching the surge speech have said they couldn't stand watching Bush anymore..is there anyone NOT sick of him?);

2. trine Neptune (tr Neptune will be opposing natal Venus eventually--deceit and instabiltiy in relationships, perhaps bankruptcy--but it seems that's all ours, thanks to him);

3. square Sun: instincts blocking the will and vice versa--as we know, he's very isolated and frustrated right now...can I get an aww-w-w-w...? Didn't think so;

4. square Mercury...seems the speech will be deservedly ill-received. He'll shove it through anyway in desperation to pull a rabbit out of his sorceror's cap.

In the speech chart, Jupiter is conj Fixed star, Antares, associated with war and with being obsessed with success. There can be great success with Antares, but also a tendency to lose what's been gained by intensity and "going to extremes."

Sounds like our 'man' doesn't it?

Antares may cause self-undoing through obsession and its connection to Jupiter brings the obvious specter of over-extension monetarily which this "surge" will make worse--with the US so deep in the financial hole, who's financing Bush' war anyway? Our grand and great-grandchildren in servitude--I know. Rice paddies, anyone?

Antares is a Royal Star of Persia--the Watcher of the West (Bernadette Brady, Predictive Astrology.) It's the heart of the Scorpion, and to the Persians was the god of the dead, Yima.


Surge Catapultin' Tonight with natal Mars arisin':

The surge speech chart keeps the same applying aspects Moon-wise as above with the exception of Moon SQ Mercury which will form in time for his Lunar Return.

Asc 8Vir24 means that Bush's natal Mars is rising with the transiting Chiron/Venus
conj sitting upon Bush's natal Desc of Partnerships. The Symbol for his natal Mars is: "Two heads looking out and beyond the shadows." Desire-based Mars rising is a perfect description of "surge urge" isn't it?

Bush is in aggravation-mode these days as well...he doesn't appreciate obstacles in the way of his poppy's NWO plans, y'know..and there's tr Mars nearing Pluto at the base of the speech chart. Mars/Pluto = force; brutality; war.

Of late, tr Mars/Saturn midpoint has been hanging about Bush's natal Ic, too...along with Saturn/Pluto (who were operative on 9/11/01.) The Ic is the HOW Point of any chart, as you know...

Mars/Sat = Mc: endurance; power of resistance; indefatiguableness;

Sat/Plu = Mc: the desire to rise from difficult circumstances bwo tenacity; severity; major separation as a last resort; an adept; a magician (oh, Anton!)

Chart-ruler Mercury has three appying aspects tonight, all 'minor' and frustrating or inhibiting:

1.sesquisquare (135 degr) Asc;

2.inconjunct Saturn (150 degr);

3.semi-square Jupiter.

Not what you'd want for Mercury-ruled propaganda but as Bush has said many times, the poeple's opinions don't matter to his thinking anyway.

Also at Mc is the "serious encounters" midpoint of Saturn/NN:

Sat/NN = Mc: standing alone in life; little joy from accomplishments; mourning.

He should seem properly mournful to want to put more Americans in "harm's way"--as if he didn't choose to do so from the start at no expense to himself or his poppy.

Then there's Jupiter as apex planet of a T-Square--if you don't mind using the Asc with Uranus--this is the political spokeman promoting his cause I mentioned above...it's also the "guru-chaser" and I know the Bush family seems to think a lot of Sun Myung Moon, the pope, and other guru-types (Bil Tierney's Dynamics of Aspect Analysis.)

Guess the gurus of whatever stripe have signed off on Bush's plans for our future which we're being told about tonight--so enjoy the NWO proceeding, m'peops!

I'll be watching and listening to White House catapulter with the animated-chart feature of my SolarFire software set up and showing me in real time the planetary influences of each nuanced word, and will update asap if anything seems worthy of further notation.

Space Weather News for Jan. 10, 2007
Spaceweather.com

Comet McNaught has continued to brighten as it approaches the sun and it is now the brightest comet in 30 years. For observers in the northern Hemisphere, tonight is probably the best time to see it: Go outside this evening and face the sunset. A clear view of the western horizon is essential, because the comet hangs very low. As the twilight fades to black, it should become visible to the naked eye. Observers say it's a fantastic sight through binoculars.

In the days ahead, Comet McNaught will pass the sun and emerge in good position for southern hemisphere viewing later this month. Meanwhile, solar heating will continue to puff up the comet, causing it to brighten even more. It could become one of the brightest comets in centuries, visible even in daylit skies.#
