Bannon for Prison: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Rand

by Jude Cowell, partisan for democracy
Admittedly, soon-to-report-to-prison-by-July-1st Steve Bannon (BBC News), podcasting bigmouth promoting lawless Tr*mpism, has for years reminded me of historical figure Albert Pike both in physical looks (check out Albert’s photo), and ideologically from sedition to the dream of a third world war and global fascist domination, all Uranian pursuits of chaos,

Many moons ago in August 2018, we discussed the three Total Great American Eclipses of 1878, 2017, and 2024 and now I’m finally getting around to writing a brief overview of the three eclipses in relation to America, primarily via the signs of the Zodiac in which the three ‘Cosmic Blink’ Eclipses (aka, ‘Wild Cards

The Civil War’s Solar Eclipse soon repeats

The 7 North Saros Series of Solar Eclipses have brought the world difficult, even violent, events such as the Civil War of 1861 (Charleston SC Horoscope shown, below, upper right) and the 7 North Eclipse which manifested on February 23, 1933 as what I tend to call the ‘Fascism Rising’ Eclipse due to the violent, power-grabbing, take control actions of one Herr Hitl*r, pervert and failed dictator

June 22, 2017 Republicans Reveal Trumpcare and a New Moon Follows

This morning on Capitol Hill, and during a Dark of the Moon phase when operating in secrecy is a given, senate Republicans revealed their healthcare bill, their answer to a promised repeal and replacement of what they’ve famously termed ‘Obamacare’. Under a changeable Gemini Moon (and with Gemini’s ruler Mercury, plus, Mars in Cancer, out-of-bounds and writing and doing who-knows-what),

by Jude Cowell

Since Mr. Trump and the Republicans have their knives out intending to gut social programs for the weak, ill, and aging among us while massive tax cuts are put in place for the wealthy class, a review of the History of Medicare and Medicaid seems timely. And as you know, in 1972 (under Nixon) an expansion
