Amy Quinn has sent me a link to CurrencyTrading.net which has a list of 20 hidden ways in which the Iraq War is affecting the value of the US dollar.
Be sure to read the 20th one--that popular presidents tend to inspire popularity for the dollar. After the disaster-filled Bush residency, it's surprising to me that the world hasn't switched back to using shells and beads.
Or perhaps we will by the time these global elitists get done with us.

Ursid meteors from Ursa Minor
Space Weather News for Dec. 20, 2007
URSID METEORS: Earth is heading for a stream of comet dust that could produce a pleasing outburst of "shooting stars" this weekend. Forecasters say dozens of meteors per hour could emerge from a spot in the sky near the North Star (Polaris) when Earth encounters the dust on Saturday evening, Dec 22. These meteors are called "Ursids" after Ursa Minor, the constellation where the North Star is located.
If forecasting models are correct, the shower's peak will occur between 2100 and 2200UT (4-5 pm EST) with meteors visible as much as four hours before and after that time.
The source of the dust is Comet 8P/Tuttle, which is traveling through the inner solar system this month and next. The comet itself can be seen through binoculars not far from the radiant of the shower. This gives sky watchers a rare opportunity to see a comet and its meteors in the same observing session.
Ursid meteors, which appear in small numbers annually, have a reputation for faintness and delicacy. Dark skies are usually required to see them; bright moonlight on Dec. 22 will only exacerbate the problem of visibility. However, say forecasters, during an outburst of Ursids there may be a fair number of bright meteors. No one knows what will happen--all the more reason to look!

Polaris is named for its current position as the closest star to the North Pole, keyphrases: the pathfinder; a nurturing mission. Polaris is always at culmination and is the point of stillness--the celestial pole. Visible from the equator to the North Pole, it never sets in the northern hemisphere; in the southern hemisphere, Polaris is never visible, but that's just the way it goes.
Polaris is the brightest of the seven main stars of the constellation Ursa Minor, the Little Bear, but it hasn't always been the pole star, you know, for in ancient times Ursa Minor was surrounded on three sides by the constellation, Draco, the Dragon.
When the brightest star in Draco, Thuban, was the pole star in 3,000 B.C.E., Ursa Minor was considered to be the wings of Draco.
Personally I always called Ursa Minor the Little Dipper--a rather faint and small group of stars but easy to find especially when you know the trick of following the line created in the Big Dipper by Merak and Dubhe (the pointers) which lead the eye north to Polaris and there you are!
Growing up in Georgia (the drought-riddled Georgia of 2007) our water bubbled up from an artesian well, and in my fertile little noggin I linked the Little Dipper with the delicious, naturally cool water from the tap. Wish I had some now, but the Little Dipper is all spilled out.

9/11 and psychological resistance
9/11 Truth Manifesto
By Joel S. Hirschhorn
We confront more than power elites. There is psychological resistance of millions of Americans to painful 9/11 truth - a shameful, "unthinkable" truth about their elected government.

Eisenhower Bldg on fire: VP okay
Here's the actual fire they are trying to extinguish: Bush Lawyers Discussed Fate of CIA Tapes 19 Dec 2007:
At least four top White House lawyers took part in discussions with the Central Intelligence Agency between 2003 and 2005 about whether to destroy videotapes showing the secret interrogations torture of two operatives from 'Al Qaeda,' according to current and former administration and intelligence officials. The accounts indicate that the involvement of White House officials in the discussions before the destruction of the tapes in November 2005 was more extensive than Bush administration officials have acknowledged.

My original post of Dec 19 written as the fire raged starts here:
By now you're heard that the Old Executive Office Building next door to the White House is burning this morning, a fire already being blamed on an electrical circuit. This is aka the Eisenhower Building and houses a major command post for the secret service among other offices.
Bush was about to leave the White House to sign the Energy Bill, Cheney is lurking about wherever Cheney lurks, and one hopes the Bretton Woods Treaty (which created the World Bank) and other relics of history (not a reference to Cheney) are in process of being evacuated as the staff and employees thankfully have been.
Built in the 1870s, the Eisenhower Bldg was renovated during the Reagan administration and is apparently showing its age. But as FDR said, nothing in politics happens by accident.
Haven't gotten the exact time of the fire from TV as of yet but at 9:00 am est in DC, the plutocratic Pluto-Chiron midpoint was rising at critical degree, 20Cap.
Moon is in last degrees of Aries, Sun 27Sag17, just beyond conjunction with Mercury, planet of agreements, contracts, and treaties...Mercury approaching saboteur and spy, Pluto 28Sag41. Jupiter has moved beyond Dec 11's conj with Pluto to 00Cap10, a World Point where events tend to occur.
At 9:00 am, Sun was conj 12th house cusp, other planets just mentioned were in 12th house (behind-the-scenes; self-undoing; karma; large institutions) and Venus was almost at MC 13Sco12...Venus 16Sco34.
Will update this evening after more details are known--or spun. When Cheney's whereabouts become known, you know they'll be checking his pockets for matches.
At least a copy of the Magna Carta wasn't in Cheney's 'ceremonial' office...was it?
10:30 am Update: found out that Cheney was across the street in his West Wing office of the White House, the fire "appeared to be located near" the vp's office on the second floor. Hmmm.
