Pentagon financial accounts shadier than expected
Turns out if you want a country bombed to Kingdom Come, call the Pentagon. If you wish to extend your power base into the world, call the Pentagon. If you have your eye on some resources that don’t belong to you, call you-know-who.
And if you want death-dealing drones that can be hacked, call our Death Star, the Pentagon.
But if you want to know where outrageous amounts of our money went, Do Not Call the Pentagon.

Shift of Earth’s Magnetic Pole and John Wheeler
A couple of years ago I asked a scientist friend if she thought that Earth’s poles are shifting. She said, No.
Turns out, they are. They’re shifting 40 miles per year toward Russia, of all places.
Now I’ve always been intrigued with mystical Russia and I find the year 1905 fascinating but going from Tampa to Russia? The above too-brief article has it all.
You may also be interested in Astrology of John Wheeler’s Murder which I posted earlier today, plus, here’s a video *presentation that purports to connect the thousands of dead blackbirds that have fallen from the sky recently (and perhaps other animal kills in various places of late) with the murder of chemical and biological weapons expert John P. Wheeler, a former aide to US presidents Reagan, Bush, and Bush, and who peeks from Washington shadows to become that special breed: a man who knew too much.

*It’s one of those not-really-a-video videos. You know. Interesting though. jc

Well, as a long-time fan of Mark Twain, I do suspect that it’s his restless squirming in his grave that we’ve been hearing for decades now given the sorry state of journalism which worsens by the minute.
And now it seems journalist Twain knocks upon his coffin lid, begging to jump out and give our current batch of Orwellian propagandists and media monopolists and moguls some sharp punches in their lousy, warmongering, anti-societal, ‘one world government’ snoots!
But mostly by way of his mightier-than-the-sword pen, of course.
WikiLeaks to reveal Iraq War docs
The announcement of Superbombs and Secret Jails: what to look for in WikiLeaks Iraq Docs has me mired in an emotional quandary because next week’s promised documents release makes its timing perilous (though when would be a good time to uncover the shadowy machinations of the Bush-Cheney regime?) and yet I feel that an end to US imperialistic war and strong-arming would do the entire planet a world of good if it could be accomplished.
Yet WikiLeaks or no, US arrogance churns on, bankrupting our nation as it beggars we-the-people, and exporting the terrorism it purports to address.
And while my Flower Power Generation took to the streets to voice our strong opposition to the Vietnam fiasco and carnage, I keep wondering whas’up with our current generation of canon fodder – is it the cool techie games they grew up playing that have them so enthralled with going to war for oil, the globalist agenda, politics, and profits-for-the-rich in this too-real world of drones and pain?
Columbus Day 2010 and a brightest star
My Ode to Columbus Day from last year’s celebration still rings true for me, how about you?
Here’s a good resource from History.com with articles and videos on the topic of Christopher Columbus and the ‘discovery’ of the New World. Obviously the indigenous peoples of 1492 had no idea the continent was missing.
You may also be interested in the constellation Columbae which is associated with the concept of peace. You remember peace, that concept and condition which the US military government has replaced with perpetual war in order to establish global domination…’globalism’.
Be that as it may, the brightest star in the constellation Columba is Alpha Columba Noae (Noah’s Dove) which in Arabic is Al-Fakhita (the dove) and is generally called, Phact.
In Astrology, Phact’s keywords are: ‘exploring uncharted waters’ and ‘to seek adventure’ which handily leads us back to old Chris Columbus 518 years ago and forward to Columbus Day 2010!
John Lennon: still missed
On radio now is Fresh Air with its feature on John Lennon who would have been 70 years old tomorrow, October 9, 2010, if only he were with us.
Click for the Fresh Air text concerning the release of the FBI’s files on Lennon and you’ll find other interviews as well such as with John’s first wife, Cynthia, and with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. (Audio will be available around 5:00 pm edt.)
The 1972 presidential election was the first in which 18-year-olds could vote in the US and Lennon wanted to use that fact to help register young voters who were against the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon who then attempted to deport John Lennon in 1972.
Here’s a tribute I wrote in 2006 on the topic of my favorite Beatle titled John Lennon: still missed which details his natal chart placements and contains some info on the Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, the societal planets, which has been associated with assassinations of US presidents..the ‘Presidential Death Cycle’, as it’s called.
(As you know, Ronald Reagan missed dying from an assassin’s bullet due to an astrologer’s warning, it is said.)
John Lennon was born during such a Great Conjunction and his assassination occurred under the auspices of the 1980/81 conjunctions:
1. December 31, 1980 @ 9Lib30 (conjunct Fixed Star Vindemiatrix: ‘the widow’ or ‘the widower’; ‘loss of partner’);
2. March 3, 1981 @ 8Lib06;
3. July 24, 1981 @ 4Lib56.
Wiith Jupiter/Saturn’s 20-year cycle of that time beginning and manifesting in a mental Air sign, we may say that it was primarily the anarchistic thoughts of John Lennon, including his and Yoko’s support of the peace movement, which sealed his fate at the hands of the US government.
That, and his tremendous popularity.
EU says No to more data for US
Seems that the US government’s spying on your Aunt Granny Fanny’s last tweet to her bookie isn’t enough for Washington and the Pentagon.
Now the US is demanding massive amounts of communications data from European citizens, too.
This is the sort of thing that causes me to wonder: if the attacks of 9/11/01 had not happened, what justification would the all-seeing- eye types now hide behind while disregarding ordinary people’s right to what should be the rather simple concept of privacy?
