Bless you and your families, Jude<\/p>\n<p>Now that things are shifting like the desert sands of Iraq, it is my personal opinion that George Bush, Dick Cheney, and other crony war profiteers of a globalist persuasion <em>owe the American people a very large amount of money<\/em> for starting two wars and to somewhat make amends for their vast mismanagement of our public funds.<\/p>\n<p>Accounts must be settled so the American people can learn and move on, don&#8217;t you think? IDing our demons&#8211;forces within our shadow government, actually&#8211;is necessary in order to vanquish them! One ancient myth associated with this plutonian kind of topic is the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lernaean_HydraHead\">Head of Hydra<\/a> which guarded the cave to Pluto&#8217;s Underworld.<\/p>\n<p>Which reminds me of how Earth is due to align with Galactic Center in 2012 for the first time in 26,000 years, so it is said. Now that&#8217;s gotta be worth waiting for, right? <\/p>\n<p>Except that astronomers say, <em>Nyet!<\/em> Instead, Earth will cross the <a href=\"http:\/\/earthsky.org\/astronomy-essentials\/will-earth-pass-through-galactic-plane-in-2012\">Galactic Equator in 2012<\/a> which is a bi-annual event happening in a cosmos nearest you, and there&#8217;s nothing particularly remarkable about it, if all goes well as before.
