Today is the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights which was passed on Dec 10, 1948 at the United Nations, and sponsored by former first lady and UN ambassador, Eleanor Roosevelt.
Considering that the Declaration was meant to protect the world's rights to freedom from oppression of all kinds - including torture, Mrs. Roosevelt would be none too happy to see how world leaders trample upon it whenever it suits them. She would definitely take it amiss.
Dec 10, 1948 had Sun in Sagittarius (18:04 to 19:05), and Moon in Aries for the 24 hours, from 5Ari42 to 17Ari42...
Sun Sag-Moon Aries Images for Integration:
"He who would be king postpones the coronation for a trek through the Himalayas...A mature student discovers her political convictions and debating talents through confronting the corruption of academia." ('Sun Sign-Moon Sign' by Chas & Suzi Harvey.)
Academia, eh? I like for corruption to be confronted wherever it festers, but once again: Mrs. Roosevelt would be scandalized by the crooked sidewinders and kingly robbers we suffer from now.

But who will take America's place?
Der Spiegel has an article by Wolfgang Nowak which is either a clear-eyed assessment of the coming new order, financial and otherwise, or a fascinating bit of propaganda designed to place certain ideas into the collective unconsciousness for future activation when the time is right.
(There's been a lot of that going on already, and the February 2009 Digital TV 'Divide' will make their messages even more subliminal.)
The article contains a photograph of an American flag with the caption: 'Who will take America's place?' which is where I snagged the gist of a title for this post.
Who will be the decisive powers in this new world order?, Nowak asks.
What new world order?, ask I.
Among other things, Nowak is promoting the idea that the world must pull together (my words) to solve global problems...problems which were, I might add, created by many of the same people and groups that have worked in a long process to tear down social fabrics the world over and create the chaos they think is needed so that structures can be rebuilt to their liking.
You and I are only collateral damage.
Nowak's article cites journalist Charles Krauthammer as speaking of "the dawning of a new era, (in) which for decades to come, the United States would serve as epicenter of the world order."
And this pronouncement from Krauthammer-on-high (aka the Trilateral Commission membership list, a group which has been cornering the market on gold of late, says Patrick Wood at The August Review) was uttered "just 17 years ago" - which puts it at 1991, the era of Bush Senior's public calling for the New World Order - at the United Nations.
Well, Nowak is spokesman of the executive board of the Alfred Herrhausen Society, the international forum of Deutsche Bank, so we may be assured that he has no corporate fish to fry, right?
But perhaps I'm being too harsh. Sure, that's it. It's little gnattish blogger, me. I'm the problem.
So okay. You may wish to check out the Society's new Foresight project
ostensibly created to "analyze and compare the future visions of emerging and existing world powers" in this 'multipolar world' now bereft of American leadership.
And we have US neocons and their enablers both here and abroad to thank for that.

Strengthen the unions
Card Check
"You Have Nothing To Lose But Your Chains"
By Mike Whitney
Forget about the fake differences between the two political parties. There aren't any. The only hope for deep structural change is to strengthen the unions and give workers a place at the policy table. That's the only peaceful way to dismantle this parasitic financial regime and bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth.

US economy takeover: 1939 vs 2008
The parallels between what Bush has done taking over US banks and loan institutions such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are said by some to echo too closely Hitler's tactics in Germany in the 1930s. As you know, Adolf wanted to rule the world, and the misery and chaos of war was the price he was willing for others to pay.
If you're aware of these parallels between the time periods and tactics, never mind; but if not, please read the article concerning the US dictatorship which is now being enlarged, by Michael S. Rozeff, a retired Professor of Finance.
Apparently the Nazi memorabilia room at Yale's Skull and Bones, where Bush once played, is having a renaissance of sorts. Granddaddy B helped with Adolph's piggybank and now grandson is following a similar script.
But who's playing Hitler now?

Crooks take over, America the pariah
"We Let The Crooks Take Over": The plot to shift taxes from wealthy and on the wage earners
Guns and Butter Interview with Dr. Michael Hudson
The United States Has become a pariah in the world financial economy.
~:~
Yes, it's definite - the crooks have taken over. And I always appreciate Dr. Hudson's writings.
But the 'pariah' part doesn't work quite as well for me, esp considering annual G-8 summits, the annual Biderberg Group meetings, and other entities which meet in secret sessions (such as the WTO) to discuss what's coming up economically.
To say the US is a financial pariah indicates the possibility that the current financial meltdown isn't part of a script which many governments are following with world bankers and the Fed leading the bankrupt-America charge over the insolvency cliff as the power elite cheer them on.
That's why these entities meet - it isn't to discuss how wonderful America is.
The recent and popular video of Bush hanging his head when no world leader would shake his hand at the G-20 was a set-up, imho. It was too obvious by half, and very badly acted - plus, they knew they were being recorded, after all. Can presidents be impeached for bad thespianism?
"America is too rich to go bankrupt," a brag which some of my fellow Fraysters once taunted (silly) me with at Slate Magazine in their forum, The Fray, so I wonder what they're saying about America's financial propects now that 8 years of the Bush-Cheney cabal has had its way with US coffers.
Perhaps I shall pay a sentimental visit to The Fray, a readers' forum which helped me realize that I wanted to blog about Washington, DC and Politics through the lens of Astrology...but not to gloat, oh no.
Because this is one of those times you'd dearly love love love to be completely wrong.

As Orwell wrote...
"They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality, because they never fully grasped the enormity of what was demanded of them, and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening." George Orwell
Well, are you sufficiently interested to notice?
Read about Orwell's natal chart details here, if you wish, where you'll find an Orwell-style description of mass media deception.
And here's an idea for the overseer which that other George, Bush by name, will be placing over the $15 million loan for GM and Chrysler: I hear Brownie may be available for doing heckuva jobs.
