Well, I've been watching the Sunday morning political shows which are mainly about Senator Ted Kennedy and his passing last week, yet soon I shall motor into the city to attend a matinee of Brigadoon, a nostalgic favorite of my childhood about a mysterious Scottish village that's only visible for one day every 100 years.
Maybe we can devise a way for Washington DC's Capitol Hill to sign up for that schedule...we'd all be safer and richer, I suspect.
Then it's a dash to a town celebration in Winterville, GA which is being held for my niece, Donny Bailey Seagraves, whose first novel Gone From These Woods is released this very weekend.
So it should be a fun, if rainy and thundery, day!

Invisible government as Octopus: a famous quote round-up
"There exists a shadowy government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself."
Dan Inouye United States Senator for Hawaii
"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as 'international bankers.' This little coterie...run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen...[and]seizes...our executive officers...legislative bodies...schools...courts... newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
John Francis Hylan (April 20, 1868 - January 12, 1936), Mayor of New York City from 1918 to 1925.
"I'm going to be so much better a president for having been at the CIA that you're not going to believe it."
George Bush (41st US President 1989 - 1993, b.1924)

And here's a newspaper article from the past by John Hylan where he blames the greed of big bankers for our nation's being on the verge of bankruptcy! Sounds eerily familiar, yes?
And you know that if you cross your eyes as you gaze at America's natal chart ('Sibly' version; July 4, 1776, 5:10 pm LMT, Philadelphia, PA), you see a planetary picture with our Virgoan Neptune and Libran Saturn on either side of Midheaven which gives this word picture to our nation's aspirations (Mc) by way of secret or invisible (Neptune) government (Saturn)...
Sat/Nep = Mc: wavering between materialism and idealism; peculiar loss of ambition; moodiness; capitulating to the demands of the environment totally. (Tyl; Ebertin.)
Or to put it more simply: 'invisible' or 'secret' government is the pentacle of aspirations and the path of worldly success for the US government. Argh.
Borry sastards. If this is the case, then we-the-people have been set up from the start as supported by US Pluto positioned in controlling Capricorn and out-of-bounds of the earthly plane, an icy place from whence the Dragon makes his own plans toward his own goals...and devil take the American people - along with the rest of the world, too, come to think of it.

Sen. Tom Coburn's frightening answer ~ video Aug 2009
Timothy Noah's Slate post displays the brief video of Senator Tom Coburn (that's Doctor Coburn, to you and me) at a town hall meeting as he 'answers' a plea from a desperate woman whose traumatic-brain-injured husband - who has medical insurance but is being denied - needs help with Eating and Drinking.
The GOP's icy veins are on display here, so perhaps you should watch the video only if you're not faint-of-med-coverage. 'Heart' pretends to enter the picture for the distressed woman, but only to make the Reagan 'government IS the problem' talking point the GOP likes to make when it behooves them politically - or when they can't think of a decent answer in a pinch.
As a practiced politician, the senator doesn't actually answer her question in relation to health care or insurance reform, but he does attempt to punt the Republican opposition ball down the hall while hoping to undermine the Democrats' efforts to institute reform so that care cannot be denied by a corporate bottom line.
In spite of the couple's payment of health insurance premiums, Coburn comes up with a 'neighbors should help' remark which is, of course, a suitable, if partial, solution to anyone's needs and cares, but his 'solution' seems paradoxical to this blogger considering the usual GOP's allergic reactions to all 'entitlement programs' and other such rantings on-message from the NWO where government is characterized as the bad guy, and privatization is supposedly the answer to everything.
We see that it is not.
In fact, the lady's understandable desperation over her husband's extreme dilemma illustrates the outcome of bottom line motivations whether it's health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security payments. The last three I mention are gov-run programs that work quite well and would work better if fraudulent practices were rooted out.
Health care systems and med insurance are the privately-run conglomerates causing trouble and family bankruptcies in our society. So...
Are we our brother's keeper, or are we not?
Well, I say we are because the Bible tells me so.
And Republican Coburn says we are when it comes to a traumatically-injured man and his individual neighbors being responsible - but not when it comes to government, which is a group of people making use of our tax monies (which are used in part to rebuild other countries they've bombed into oblivion - so no, there's no moola for your health care, America)!
Schizophrenic much?
To be fair, I guess Coburn was on the spot in this situation since he couldn't very well reply with the oft-repeated GOP mantra: "all through your life you've made choices" which seems to pass in GOP circles as an answer to one of the primary moral questions of the ages: Am I my brother's keeper?
Result? The GOP is still MIA on that question and unaccountable - like a raptor-eyed George Bush during Hurricane Katrina's dire miseries. Well, transiting Saturn brought a responsible/accountable vibe during that time period to Bush's natal Ascendant, and made him say, ouch! Mea culpa, kinda.
Yes, this political ploy of a joke is still bedeviling us and it seems tragically hilarious now to think that the Republican Party once dared called itself a gaggle of 'Compassionate Conservatives' - what a hoot! Are you terribly amused?

Wayne Madsen video on Mandatory flu vaccine H1N1
Here's journalist Wayne Madsen speaking on TV recently concerning the side effects and doubts about the H1N1 flu vaccine. This 'prevention' sounds too risky to me, how about you? And why did they use components that contain Mercury? If autism or paralysis are possibilities, you can have my share, because even scientists are saying 'No Way' to their families' being vaccinated!
If they institute mandatory vaccinations across the nation, the US government will have a mess on its hands, right next to its da*n spot of guilt. Yet if any of the New World Order theories are correct, revolution is just what the power elites want for thinly veiled 'justification' for the extreme control they want to wield over us.
Will revolt against submitting to H1N1 vaccinations be the catalyst for conflict?

Update 3:40 pm edt, Athens, GA: Here at the University of Georgia (UGA) some dorm students have contracted flu and have been sent home which I hope isn't what spreads the virus.
Update2 @ 5:00 pm edt: this just in - Australian insurance companies are said to be denying coverage to doctors who immunize against H1N1. And this is a mess caused in part from government in the last few years becoming completely unworthy of the people's trust, with more difficult issues to come.
Who really runs Britain?
Who runs Britain? The UK parliament? The Queen? Both in partnership? Or some old bald-headed freak cackling away in a bank vault in London or Edinburgh?
Funny story.
Turns out that a company named Serco, headed by a South African fellow, actually runs the UK, its railways, and quite a bit more besides.
Oh what this blogging gnat would give for one particular name of the a*s who runs America. He'd have a lot of 'splainin' to do, wouldn't he?

Sen. Ted Kennedy passes, North Node to his natal Saturn
The sad news about Senator Ted Kennedy's passing late last evening after his year-long battle with brain cancer was expected but sobering. Flags fly at half mast in Washington, DC, and I, the reluctant astrologer, feel compelled to see what transits were in effect to his natal chart. So far I've only found "late last night" rather than an exact time of death.
Blogging time is brief again today (tomorrow will be better), but there is the senator's Saturn in his first house @ 29Cap49, with the transiting NN 29Cap43, pointing and saying that Saturn the Timekeeper has run out the clock. Venus 29Can22 opposes at the tr South Node, and conjunct the current Solar Eclipse degree of 29Can27.
His was the system that failed (7.21.09 Solar Ecl = 'systems fail.')
Sen. Kennedy's natal North Node 26Pis15 in n 2nd house has a planetary visitor as well: Uranus 25Pis30; Sun 2 - 3 Virgo approaches his problematic Moon 6Vir25 and Neptune 6Vir44 conjunction in 8th house.
Last last night (using 11:30 pm edt), Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, at the family compound, Moon 17Sco32 was in the senator's natal 10th house and opposing his n Chiron 18Tau58, and the transiting Mars 00Can16/Pluto 00Cap44 opposition falls across his natal 6/12 axis of Health and Hospitals.
And with natal Sun representing 'vitality' there are several transits to his natal Sun 2Pis32 (2nd house), most of which hare separating: Sun, Mercury, Mars, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. All are oppositions or minor squaring aspects.
Last night's Mercury 00Lib16 is in the senator's n 8th house conjuncts America's natal Midheaven ('Sibly'); Saturn 22Vir12 conjuncts US n Neptune (in Virgo, sign of Work - he was quite a 'workhorse') indicating loss; tr Mercury/Saturn midpoint = natal SN 26Pis15.
The Mars/Pluto opposition upon World Points of Prominence square his natal Nodal axis, so perhaps we have what the senator will be remembered for...
Tr Mars/Pluto = n NN: working with others to change the world.
May you RIP, Senator Kennedy.
