Bush signs corporatism pact with Mongolia

From the White House Newsletter of Monday, October 22, 2007 (just received):

"(President) Bush met with President Enkhbayar of Mongolia. The two leaders reviewed the continuing strong cooperation between the United States and Mongolia on global and regional affairs, including the war on terror, progress in Iraq, and trade and economic development. After, they signed the Millenium Challenge Corporation Compact, a program designed to increase aid to nations that govern justly, fight corruption, invest in the education and health of their people, and promote economic freedom."#

Pass the SCHIPs, delete damning emails, sharpen the redacting pen--you have to love the hypocrisy. Somehow the Bush years haven't worked out that way for America, so good luck to Mongolia when dealing with the Bush-Clinton juggernaut.

The corporatism of Pluto-Chiron just keeps on giving, and Enkhbayar may want to read the fine print, check for disappearing ink, and wait for the other signing statement to drop.

And did you notice the "progress" in Iraq and the "war on terror" promo?

"Increase aid"? Puh! What extra millions do American taxpayers have lying around that the druken sailors and corporate raiders haven't spent or extorted? Tell me if you know of any--there are millions of Americans homeless and ill without medical care about now.

No, I can't really apologize for the new rhymery just posted at Lim's Limericks: Our Ne'er-Do-Well Son so I must take full bad-poetry responsibility for its perpetration!

The photo you'll see there of Chief Grumpy Red Face is complimentary.

Today in Washington and NYC

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just." --Thomas Jefferson

So do I, as should we all. (Physical) water is not the only thing in short supply.

Image: sunrise 7:33:01 am edt, Washington, DC, Oct 26, chart-ruler Mars in 9th house of foreign enemies, conj Fixed Star, Alhena, to have a mission. Mars is inconjunct Chiron at IC. (You'll find Chiron mentioned below.)

Click-to-enlarge chart to read my scribbles because it's on to New York...

As the fairy dust settles from last evening's Full Moon, we find that at 3:00 am edt in midtown Manhattan, Explosives in NYC's Mexican Consulate so explosive Mars is still busy in 'the homeland' (Cancer), out-of-bounds and lobbing makeshift explosives from a bicycle.

3:00 am in NYC brought up Bush's natal Virgoan Mars, just after tr Saturn, whose Hour it was. Saturn Hours are good for things like taking responsibility and for control, with an air of restriction and inhibition involved. This lobbing was a diversion of some kind, and indicates that activist Mars has more trouble in store. What else is new, right?

So Bush has this goin' on: Mars/Saturn = ASC: obstacles caused by others; illness; separation; bereavement; struggling for every step of advancement; possible health threat. (Will his colon come back to haunt him?) (midpoints: Tyl; Ebertin.)

Saturn will be restrictvely conjuncting his natal Mars soon (health concerns continue.) It's a period when circumventing rules is ill-advised and relationships with males may be interrupted or broken off entirely. Loneliness increases, yet a reaffirmation toward long-term goals is also possible. Kind of a 'stay the course' transit (ad nauseum.)

But back at the Mexican Consulate:

At the WHY Point of the chart (MC) was tr asteroid, Midas, the King, greedy lover of gold, and at IC (the HOW Point) was asteroid, Bacchus, keywords: denial; substitution; management of uncomfortable emotions. This lobbing occurred only a couple of hours after the Full Moon, Moon 3Tau46, "4Tau": "The rainbow's pot of gold."

3Tau08 is the Discovery Degree of Chiron, the Wound or the Wounded Healer, which is again splat upon Dick Cheney's natal Sun (10AQ48)--a transit which may spiritualize (Chiron) one's purpose in life (Sun), or indicate wounded vitality (health issues--with Cheney, probably heart-related. They do say he has one.)


And speaking of Politics in America, have you ever been to the Edge of Petrified Forest?

Fiery Mars in California

Having just posted Mars and the Fires of California at Jude's Threshold, you may wish to check it out concerning the similarities between out-of-bounds Mars 2007 and out-of-bounds Mars 1993, which was also a year of California wildfires causing great damage and misery--and the year of the FBI-ATF's siege at Waco.

As you know, the natal chart I use for the NWO is set for Oct 24, 1993, timed by the third and final conjunction of Uranus and Neptune. These two transpersonal era-defining planets hooked up all through 1993.
