Jude’s Threshold

Update May 31 4:25 pm edt: Rep. Ed Markey has a few remarks concerning BP’s claims of ‘no plumes’. BP is acting crazy, right?

But you know, Politics: anything to divert public attention while continuing the transfer of all wealth into select power elite piggybanks!

Original post begins here:

As you may have noticed, BP has been unsuccessful in capping the Gulf oil leak/s. They led us on for days about the ‘Top Kill’ method only to dash our hopes (though I confess I had none and felt we were being shined on.)

With the lies BP has been caught in, its credibility (if indeed the corporate monster had any pre-April 20) has been lost so when they say, ‘Oops, the method didn’t work, it’s still leaking!’ we are witnessing a case of tapping billions of dollars worth of oil that can be sold as crude rather than stopping this environmental disaster.

Why should BP care about an American coastline or its inhabitants?

Well, folks living in the Gulf region have experience working for BP and for other oil companies and they have a few things to say about the situation: BP is tapping, not capping.

If you’re a taxpayer in America you may wish to sign a petition to the US Senate stopping a Taxpayer Bailout of BP for the Gulf oil disaster.

Hold BP accountable for the damage done!

Because I didn’t cause the damage. Did you?

Turns out there’s another massive oil leak about 5 or 6 miles from the one we’ve watched on BP’s plume cam.

(Plume cam can be found by following its link in my previous post.)

Re: BP-Gulf oil spill, aka, ‘Deepwater Horizon blowout’ is having its plume monitored and the cam footage is almost hypnotizing to watch even if it isn’t quite in real time.

And someone probably expected that it would be. They were correct.

With the breaking news about an hour or so ago (NPR) that the ‘Top Kill’ method of throwing mud at the problem of the gash has begun to be tried by BPers today, the plume monitoring cam was what I ended up being mesmerized by as I tottled around the interweb.

And on Monday I surprised myself by being mesmerized for a moment or two by an Art Film short I put together for my Dreamyfish Art pals, BP-Gulf oil spill: a fish’s plea.

Also published are the Horoscopes of Mexico and the BP-Gulf oil spill if you wish to check them out.

Chart details are included. Your opinions are invited.

Must hurry away since Georgia Power has informed us just now that another power outage is due this afternoon – I almost lost this post in the last one a while ago. Planet Uranus of electricity fame is now approaching the Aries Point of Fame, Prominence, and World Manifestation.

My hope for everyone is that massive power outages are not an AP expression of disruptive Uranus’ lightening impulses and radical reformist tendencies. As you know, the sign Aries and the AP are ruled by Mars and you also know how wildly combustible Mars/Uranus energies can be when they’re blended into social ‘dynamite’.

Be safe, my friends. And let’s keep the lights on for one another.

‘interweb’ or ‘interwebs’ are creations of TV’s Craig Ferguson. TY.

My friend Mandi Lockley has put together a collection of links to her insightful articles on Outer Planet Cycles into well-organized sections so that you can easily find the planetary pairs, their aspects, and dates.

You know the ones: Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto so far away, but with Jupiter and Saturn joining in the dance of energies, too.

So thank you, Mandi! Your artcle on the current opposition between the societal pair, Jupiter in Pisces and Saturn in Virgo, tells it like it is!

And with Jupiter’s southern ring fading into oblivion these last few weeks, we can hardly tread too gingerly around the Great Beneficent’s fat toes, can we?

Jupiter is very jolly and spiritual in its own sign of Pisces, the sign of clouds, veils, and mysteries, and scientists say that perhaps the ring is being covered by some high floating clouds and will return to our view real soon. Or whenever.

Hmmm…think I’ll see what New Scientist is saying about the puzzling occurrence which, btw, has happened before. Perhaps NS investigators are already on the Case of the Planet’s Disappearing Ring.

I say, Follow him and see where he goes…oh that’s right – Jupiter is in Pisces now but is headed toward a rendezvous with Uranus @ Aries Point 00Ari18 on June 8, 2010! AP is one of the four World Points of Manifestation and Prominence and we could sure use a bright solution for repairing the oily gash in Mother Nature’s side that BP saw fit to gamble on.

Wonder if the offending concrete that Halliburton used was frugally purchased from China? If so, it may have been made with chalk dust or with something else concrete-y looking that’s weak and disappointing…and shipped pronto to the US.

Now sometimes an event is in the news which can be described by a certain Sabian Symbol (word picture for each of the 360 degrees of a circle or horoscope) and which we hear over and over again…so how about this fiasco?

Quoting from Marc Edmund Jones’ ‘The Sabian Symbols in Astrology’:

’6 Gemini’ = “Drilling for Oil”…SPECULATION…

positive expression: achievement through an exceptional concentration or specialization of effort;

negative/unconcious/shadow side: foolish gambling and ill-considered self-exploitation. #

Now I just checked ’6Gem’ in Dane Rudhyar’s ‘An Astrologoical Mandala’ and there’s nothing for it but to type it for you here because it seems very apt for our times. I might also mention that ’6Gem’ is where Pan hangs about these days causing ‘panics’ and indulging in trickeries of the mind and senses (Gemini) – the mercurial Mr. Rudhyar is on the mark here:

“This symbol superficially considered can be referred to the insatiable drive of modern man for power and wealth, his readiness to accept the risk of failure. But it has a deeper meaning, especially if related to the next symbol. {snip}

Drilling for oil may even represent the attempt to penetrate to the deep layers of the collective Unconscious and to reawaken the powers of the archaic psyche whichoce flourished–for instance in the true ceremonial magic of the tribal world, perhaps among the adepts of the fabled Atlantis, or even among the shamans and witch doctors of more recent times.

The archaic powers may be ‘refined’ for modern situations, but the almost inevitable result is the release of noxious waste producing ‘pollution’. And there is pollution of consciousness as well as of the atmosphere man breathes. AMBITION.” #

That covers events in the Gulf of Mexico quite well, I think -
BP, Transocean, and Halliburton’s overly pressurized misadventures. To me, this catastrophe seems like fall out from 2009′s three Great Conjunctions of the speculator pair of grand schemes, Jupiter and Neptune for both planets relate to Piscean seas and massive (Jupiter) leaks (Neptune.)

Let’s see: “refined” as in oil refining, “modern situations’ as in never drilled so deep before, and “foolish gambling” for which it remains to be seen whether the true culprits of the corporate persuasion will lose anything more than other people’s shirts.

“Archaic power” sounds like primeval powered Pluto’s connection with dark, damp, low down places that contain plutonian wealth through oil formed over centuries. Archaic. And creating power as ‘fuel’.

And how about “release of noxious waste”? Gas is nothing if not noxious and you know about the effects of noxious oil – toxins – on the environment along with the detergent they’re spraying.

Then there’s mention of Atlantis which can be a stand-in astrologically for America herself. This Sabian Symbol also links the BP oil spill to the Manifest Destiny our founders supposedly favored so unreservedly (‘New Atlantis’) and it points to our nation’s natal Uranus, planet of rebellion and independence, @ 8Gem55 – where transiting Midas, named after the gold-hoarding king, now traverses.

The BP-Gulf oil spill can be seen as potentially a part of Naomi Klein’s theory of Shock Doctrine being practiced on the American people. How grievous that it’s New Orleans and the *Gulf Coast taking more vicious kicks on the shin.

Ruthless people always go for weak spots, don’t they?

Yet you noticed when testifying on Capitol Hill last week, all the big execs said that they will pay “all legitimate” claims (a legal loophole?) but with this symbol we find that they were “ready to accept the risk of failure” though I suspect a way has been created around it:

Did BP and the others hedge their bets on Wall Street that a blowout would occur? Did they or someone else bet against this foolhardy misadventure? If so, they can use their considerable ‘winnings’ to pay for all the damages they’ve caused. And no loopholes.

*oil globs may turn up elsewhere as they circulate in ocean currents.

FlashForward is coming on my TV so I gotta go but oh my goodness!

If you’re interested in the Cardinal T-Square and Grand Cross as of Spring 2010 into 2014, you can’t go wrong with expert astrologer John Townley’s analysis in which he even lists the dates that the Moon morphs the T-Square into a Grand Cross!

In case you’re too busy to click, I’ll type them for you here, all 2010, of the Moon Triggerings that complete the T-Square into a Cardinal Grand Cross for a couple of hours or so each time:

June 13, July 10, August 7, and Sept 9; then Mars and Venus join in by August 7.

Now do let Mr. Townley tell you the rest for it’s quite intriguing.

Late Day Update: Well! President Obama is cutting loose one Dennis Blair, his head of National Intelligence. Supposedly Blair and Leon Panetta (CIA Director) were at odds. The official announcement may be made as soon as tomorrow. But who in their right mind would want the job?

Original post begins now:

Jeff Huber thinks the next structure to crash and burn may be the Pentagon, our “House of Usher.”

Well, a Pentagon crash could certainly be described astrologically as part of America’s Mars (military; police; males; energy-action-desires) turning retrograde by progression, a reactive condition for out-going, war-fighting Mars, which will last approximately 76 more years since it began in 2006 under brash George Bush.

This is the same Mr. Bush who illegally invaded Iraq with Jupiter, the General, retrograde, a significator of the war’s bottomless pit in the money department, and a sign of the painful over-extension of our military which has become more obvious of late.

As you know, starting a war with Jupiter Rx seldom turns out well for the aggressor, and any ‘good outcomes’ are mitigated by negative factors which make the Iraq Occupation a ‘never-mind’ adventure that Bush-Cheney should have avoided.

But high-handedly they chose it. And I believe their decision to make war in 2003 to be part of the Financial Collapse of 2008+, along with the attacks of 9/11/01 (which ties in their invasion and occupation of Afghanistan – still ongoing.)

Now, over seven years later, I assert that if the US government wants to find a better, more solvent course, it will quit spending what little fortune the American people have left (or will earn in future) on endless wars in foreign lands, and stop supporting states such as Israel which has several fat bank accounts of its own and can purchase its own weapons of mass destruction without our further aid.

So America’s ‘NWO imperlialism’ complex and our ‘global police’ mission (bwo marching orders given us by NWO types) have bankrupted our nation thereby creating a situation where eventually we’ll say in chorus, ‘Please establish a New World Order, we’re desperate for whatever you can do, oh please’…which is precisely what the global fascist crime syndicate wants us to say after their engineered chaos subsides and the dust settles over the land.

And they’ll gleefully step over and crush you and your Aunt Granny Fanny to make it happen. Can’t you tell yet?

Update May 19, 2010: here is an interesting link to How to Cement an Oil Well Under Deep Water which Halliburton had the task of doing just before the blowout of April 20. This update probably belongs in my previous post about how ‘I knew it was You, Halliburton’ but I’m posting it here instead.

Original post begins here:

From the start of the Gulf oil catastrophe on April 20, 2010, I have had a sneaky suspicion that there are intentional culprits lurking in the background. Perhaps it’s my suspicious nature which works well with Astrology studies or perhaps it’s my Spidey sense that seldom meets a corporation it trusts.

Turns out I’m not the only one wondering about the possibility of stealthy, planned corporate destruction of the Gulf region of our country especially after the limp response to the destruction of Hurricane Katrina and its sorry aftermath of formaldehyde trailers to finish off survivors, and other ineffective, more-harm-than-good actions taken by the Bush administration (who never met a corporation it didn’t trust.)

And although New Orleans will never be the same, I say Kudos for coming back as well as they have which is a testiment to the spirit of the people of a region now being shafted by big industry once again.

“Legitimate” claims will be paid, says BP, which is what’s called ‘setting up a legal loophole’ around these parts.

We’ll see if the US Congress raises the cap on corporate payouts for the massive amounts of harm they do to people’s livelihoods and the environment when they’re out there taking huge risks with other people’s lives and fortunes.

FYI: an eyewitness reports seeing a United Nations military convoy rolling through the state of Pennsylvania.

Possible routes (highways) the convoy may be taking are listed.

Video tape the event if you see it but you’ll apparently need to be discreet. Are they expecting to quell something…or to stir it up?

In the realm of fancy baby photography you’d have to go a long way to find a lovelier mohair Baby Wrap knitted in a certain shade of blue and created strictly for photographing purposes Only.

Here you see a Baby Wrap my daughter knitted…its fuzzy glow will add to a baby’s angelic look, right? Purple and Pale Yellow Wraps are available as well and they ship from Atlanta, Georgia.

Plus, there may be a Pale Pink Cocoon still in stock but no promises there – my daughter Maya is on Etsy’s Fast Team so you have to be quick and not dally about when it comes to ordering her handspun, dyed, and painted yarns for your Special Projects!
