With his usual insight, journalist Robert Parry of Consortium News has written what for me is an expose of the links between the Iran-Contra scandal of Ronald Reagan (1981) and the Gulf War of George H. W. Bush (1991) – Poppy’s "100 hours of carnage."Mr. Parry ignored his employer’s instructions (Newsweek) at the time and set up an interview with a key witness, Israeli operative Ari Ben-Menashe,

Mercury’s Rx and Direct Stations Mar 30/Apr 23, 2011: degree symbols
Today at 4:48 pm edt in Washington DC, Mercury’s current retrograde station occurs @ 24Ari21. I use ‘4:48 pm’ because that’s the moment my Solar Fire software gives for Mercury’s first minute Rx (notwithstanding the March 11, 2011 earthquake in Japan which knocked Earth’s axis off a smidgen.)Then on April 23, 2011, Mercury performs his/her Direct Station @ 12Air53 (6:04 am edt in DC.) As you know
Aries New Moon Apr 3, 2011 w US natal Mars rising
The more I look at the chart factors in the horoscope of the April 3, 2011 New Moon at a critical/crisis degree, the more worrisome they appear. Sadly, the cure isn’t to stop looking.Well, as you know, the combination of Mars and Uranus is a permanent signature in the American natal chart and national psyche so we can’t say we’re not a warring bunch of varmints, can we? With Gemini the sign of
Chris Hedges: The Collapse of Globalization; the Sacredness of Gaia
With Globalization, What’s Not to Like?by Jude Cowell If you’re familiar with the writings of Chris Hedges, you know that what he says must be well considered before flippantly ignoring it – except that the time has come to an end when we can afford to be apathetic about the future – environmental, social, and financial – of this little blue planet some call, Gaia.Gaia has her own hypothesis, you
Obama speaks on Libya 3.28.11 w Mercury at loose ends
Horoscopes set for Monday night, March 28, 2011, on the occasion of President Obama addressing the nation about the US-NATO-Arab-Allies mission in Libya, don’t look so much unpromising for the globalists’ usual war propaganda purposes as they look…well, ignored by the general public. We have, after all, heard this sorry tune too many times before.Under conditions which must certainly be obvious
A Morgue’s Secrets Leak & Pluto/Chiron’s Plutocracy
Glenn Greenwald says that classified secrets have been leaked describing the tiresomely devious ‘take bodies from the morgue and spread ’em around to finger the Americans’ ploy.Not certain I buy it but I’ll keep my mind slightly creaked open for now. Of course, the well-timed leak could be reverse propaganda, kind of like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker being advised to hire a thug to accost or
Triangle Factory Fire: same Solar Eclipse Series as 9/11/01
Having to be out of town most of the day today there was no time to scribble on, scan, save, and publish a horoscope of NYC’s awful March 25, 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, aka, the Triangle Factory Fire in which a total of 146 people – women and a few men – perished, most of whom were young immigrants.If you wish to set up the chart, I suggest using 4:00 pm or thereabouts for that seems to have
"Collapse" (full movie) featuring Michael Ruppert (& US Sec Mars Rx)
This is a first for SO’W: posting a full length film, and this one features Michael Ruppert (From the Wilderness; predicted Financial Collapse 2008) and it knocked my socks off earlier today when I had a chance to view it.The video is 1 hour 33 mins 20 secs long and I hope you’ll stay with it a while, if you haven’t seen it before. There’s a bunch of investigative work behind what the man says
After Citizens United, & Solar Eclipses 1993 = 2011
Perhaps you’ve seen the brilliant photo of the March 19, 2011 SuperMoon in Virgo rising above DC’s Lincoln Memorial now posted on a new blog After Citizens United. (Astro-Note: constellation Virgo and its stars have particular significance for the founding of America including the related archetype for nurturing asteroid Ceres (‘security concerns’) which in America’s natal chart, conjoins our
