Opinions: Obama’s ‘end of combat ops in Iraq’ speech
It was quite a dizzying tightrope he walked and perhaps President Obama’s multi-messaged speech with two-directional, murky Pisces Rising concerning the ‘ending of combat operations in Iraq’ didn’t go over very well among his more discriminating listeners. Here’s an article round-up of opinions for you including mention of one of my favorite topics when it comes to the US government – Orwellian

Astrology: Dueling Rallies in DC – Beck v Sharpton 8.28.10
If you’ve been in a cave lately you may have missed the news of two rallies being held in Washington DC tomorrow, August 28, one to mark the 47th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr’s I Have a Dream speech which was delivered at the Lincoln Memorial and which will be led by former civil rights activist Al Sharpton and the other led by erstwhile Obama opponents, FOX News and its prevailing
Are there Freemasons in Congress? view the video
Somehow I missed this CNN feature from months ago which purports to discuss the fact that some members of the US Congress are Freemasonry members. I say ‘purports’ because in the end, the topic is treated lightly with a ‘well they do raise millions for charity’ toss-off as if the good works done by Mason rank and file (and everyone knows they do) is all that’s going on at the top of the
