I thought so when Gingrich took over as House speaker, almost ten years ago. Then, we had a beleaguered but still strong counteracting force in President Clinton. The Republicans have once more taken over Congress, but now there is no Good in the White House. All the Lights have been turned off. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary November 11 Are Americans Too Stupid To Know What's Good For Them? Shortly before his passing, George Harrison said of the current state of popular music - 'It's gotten very weird, it's all either hyper-aggression or sickly-sweet.' In other words, the lowest common denominator emotions, the ones most easily accessed by stimulus-response, most easily inculcated by commercial mass media. This does seem to be our corporate society, doesn't it? Our George W. Bush society - hyper aggression, disguised, when necessary, by the sickly sweet. Who can say where it will all end? --Kent Southard from Bushwatch.com I'd be sick to my stomach right now if I lived in a state that contributed to the election debacle. Luckily, I don't. The people in my state have some intelligence. They could discriminate between a political hack whom they personally didn't like, but voted for because he was a strong pro-choice and environmental advocate, and an idiot that rarely voted, had no political experience and was on the wrong side of every issue most of us feel deeply about. So we elected all Democrats and we're out of step with the rest of the country. Tough. The rest of the country needs to get in step with us. The future starts here, right here and moves East. It's no coincidence that the next Minority Leader of the House is Nancy Pelosi from San Francisco. California, as usual, is always ahead of the curve. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary November 4 Vote Democratic ``This regime does not care about the American public. That's what I've been saying, that the Bush administration, all the way down to Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld and John Ashcroft, these people are on a mission. They are on a neo-Nazi, right-wing mission. They do not mean this country good. And I keep telling you all somebody is going to wake up. Black people are going to wake up. White people are going to wake up. Hispanics are going to wake up. America is going to wake up and they are going to rebel against this ungodly, wicked regime.'' --Bishop Victor Curry, Pastor of New Birth Baptist Church in Miami Right on, Bishop Curry. The Bush regime is an ungodly wicked regime. I think it's so wicked, in fact, that the people in power will do anything, and I mean anything to stay in power. I've been searching for web sites that suggest that Paul Wellstone may have been assassinated, because that was the first thought I had when I was told by a friend that he died in a plane crash. I found one website(voxfux.com), through Rense.com that not only stated in the lead article that he was assassinated, but had a link to an archived article dating back to May of 2001 that predicted a Democratic senator would be killed by anthrax or in a plane crash like Governor Carnahan who was running for the Senate against Ashcroft in 2000. Both Wellstone and Carnahan were in tight races with Republicans and were both killed in October. The prediction for Wellstone was made before 9-11 or the anthrax terror and was made in response to Senator Jeffords leaving the Republican Party last year. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary October 16 Bush Inflames Violent Atmosphere, Feeding Sniper
Bush is a mean, vindictive, frightened man. You can see it in his face in the above AP photo. This was taken recently after he'd just finished having his Mars Return(the planet returns to its birth chart position). Instead of having sex like Bill Clinton would have, he'd been using the Mars energy to inflame the case for war against Iraq, when the sniper started his murderous assault on Washington DC and surrounding environs. This is no coincidence. Mars, the planet of war and violence, at the time the sniper started sniping, had just finished squaring Pluto, the planet of the underworld and was squaring the U.S. Mars. Mean, vindictive, wussy Bush is putting the United States in extreme danger.The blast in Bali, killing over a 100 people, as well as the sniper in the DC area are just more volleys in a terrorist battle that will ultimately wreak absolute havoc and chaos in America unless something is done to stop it. If the U.S. goes to War with Iraq, particularly in January or February, when Mars is in Sagittarius and squares Pluto, opposes the U.S. Mars, and then opposes Saturn, the level of hate and violence in the atmosphere will be overwhelming. We will not be immune. 29 Democratic Senators on the Shit List--The Wall of Shame (Those who voted to give George W. Bush Dictatorial Powers)
21 Democrats Who Deserve Acolades (With one Republican and One Independent) Those who Voted to Uphold the Constitution
Bush's 10 Reasons for Going to War with Iraq October 2 1. He (Saddam) tried to kill my daddy. 2. He (Saddam) hates us. 3. There's lots of oil there--second largest oil reserves next to Saudi Arabia. Other countries are already lined up to get that oil. We got to grab it first. Saudi Arabia is being taken over by religious whacos--a Satanic Moslem bunch and they'll cut off access to our oil once they grab complete control. They also hate us. 4. The Bible tells me so. I read it every morning. My religious friends advise me that Saddam Hussein is the Anti-Christ. They also tell me that I'm their leader and savior. Armageddon is coming and only I can remove the axis of evil. The first half of my life was a total waste, boozing and whoring, taking money from my daddy's rich friends. Now, I've finally found my one true mission--saving the world. 5. My rich friends tell me we should take over the world for its own good--Saddam is the first step in the Middle East. Only we have the right to build an empire and take what we want. 6. If we go to war, I'll keep my spot in the White House. Although I'm not sure I really want it because it's just too damn much trouble. On the other hand, my friends tell me I'm doing a bang-up job. Hell, I tell 'em, it would just be easier if I was dictator. 7. Dick Cheney and Ariel Sharon tell me so. 8. War talk keeps the attention away from the economy and Enron, Halliburton, and Harkin in this year's election. 9. Being Commander in Chief takes the spotlight off me being AWOL for a year while I was in the Air National Guard. (I was snorting coke in those days). 10. I like to kill bad people as long as I don't have to get my hands dirty. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary September 27 George W. Bush in a Nutshell "I'm all name and no money." ---George W. Bush, 1986 "As long as we keep food on their table, gas in their gas tanks and a roof over their heads, we don't have to worry about the BUDsters (broke, useless and depressed)." ---George H.W. Bush "You cannot love God and mammon." --Jesus "The Republican Party has been taken over by the Four Horsemen of Calumny: Fear, ignorance, bigotry, and smear." --The late great Republican Senator from Maine, Margaret Chase Smith "When you are too weak to defend you must attack." --General Robert E. Lee Here's the rambling story of little George Bush and how he grew up to be the dangerous man he is today. While he grew up in Texas he was a mama's boy. Mom called him Georgie. He was born under Cancer, the Sign of the MOTHER (there have been articles lately about how his open mouth insert foot mother and he are very much alikelike the good Cancer boy he is, he took over his mother's persona). George had to cling to her because his father was rarely around. Senior was off on business, on the prowl for women, working as an asset for the CIA, looking for oil. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary September 1 Uncovering More Bush Family Badness I don't know why I'm always so surprised when I read more revelations about the wickedness of the Bush family and their miserable hold on American politics. I think it must be the elder Bush's Virgo Rising Sign, which gives him a modest unthreatening persona. When I see him on television, he seems like a model of decorum, slightly reserved but friendly, more moderate in his political views than his son. However, when I look at all the evidence that indicates how unprincipled the entire family is and remember the unbridled opportunism of George Elder's birth chart, I know journalist Bill Moyers, who has seen him up close, is correct when he said, "George Bush (the elder) is the most deeply unprincipled man in American politics today. He strikes me as possessing no essential core. There is no fundamental line from which he will not retreat have watched him for almost 30 years and have never known him to take a stand except for political expediency." Here are some new and old revelations about the Bushes from The Bush Family in the 1990s": Psychic Vera's Secret Diary August 13 War on Iraq: Looking for Oil in all the Wrong Places It's obvious to me and other Internet voices (Democrats.com and Bushwatch.com, for example) that the proposed war on Iraq is primarily a plan to gain easy access to the world's second largest oil supply. Columnist, Eric Margolis says in the March 10, 2002 edition of the Toronto Sun, "The so-called war on terrorism is being used to mask a grander imperial design, the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. This will allow the US to gain control of Iraq's huge oil reserves, which are second only to Saudi Arabia's, and secure American control of the giant Caspian Oil Basin." Anthony Sampson in his article, "West's Greed for Oil Fuels Saddam Fever," in the August 11th Observer asks, "Is the projected war against Iraq really turning into an oil war, aimed at safeguarding Western energy supplies as much as toppling a dangerous dictator and source of terrorism?" Psychic Vera's Secret Diary July 29, 2002 Bush/Cheney=Nixon/Agnew? The thirty-year Saturn cycle that forced Nixon and Agnew to resign is returning. Democrats.com and other websites are beginning to allude to the possibility of another Republican two-step out of office. Critics of Bush believe that his insider trading of Harkin energy stocks, as well as other financial shenanigans which occurred during his ownership of the Rangers baseball team and during his term as governor of Texas may eventually bring him down if a special prosecutor is assigned. Cheney's term as CEO of Halliburton Oil, which is now being investigated by the SEC, and his secret energy meetings, which may have laid the groundwork for the energy debacle in California as well as the Bush administration pre-911 attempt to force the Taliban to support Unocal in its laying of pipeline in Afghanistan, may be his undoing. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary July 9, 2002 Property of GW Bush "I think we're property." Charles Fort, The Book of the Damned "Let them eat cake," Marie Antoinette, Queen of France before the French Revolution Charles Fort, the great investigator and writer about things bizarre and unusual like frogs falling out of the sky and the everyday fellow that bursts into flames, thought we were property. He was talking about being property of alien colonizers. I think he may have been right when he said, "That once upon a time, this earth was No-man's Land, that other worlds explored and colonized here, and fought among themselves for possession, but that now it's owned by something. That something owns this earth, all others warned off," but I also think we're property of the Bush family. At least they think they own us. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary June 25 Bush's Actions Based on Acute Fear Reading an article by Nat Perry at consortiumnews.com outlining "Bush's Grim Vision" made me realize once again that Bush, like most Republicans, is motivated by fear. Bush's "grim vision" of continual war against foreign countries and abuse of constitutional freedoms at home is the result of a Cancer man's failure to resolve his strong feminine side, his fear and subsequent overreaction to threats, and his tendency to overcompensate by bullying others. Remember, Bush once said as Perry reminds us in his article, "If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier--so long as I am dictator." Psychic Vera's Secret Diary June 4 Bush Incompetence Puts The World in Grave Danger In the beginning of their reign I thought G.W. Bush & Company were a bunch of greedy bastards trying to hold on to a buck. Now I realize that they are incompetent greedy bastards and they are stumbling along a path towards a societal meltdown, dragging the rest of us along with them. When will the public get off their Bush hero worship and realize that we might end up like Mad Max? Although most of us are guilty of hyperbole (just read letters to the editor in your local newspaper), the possibility of a Max Maxian culture may be no exaggeration. Dr. Batra's analysis of world cycles clearly indicates that as the present Acquisitor Age comes to a close, the disintegration of society is inevitable. The question remains as to how devastating the collapse of our present society will be. If Bush and Co. continue to reign in the White House the coming breakdown will be disastrous. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary May 21 Bush Bumbles Allowed Terrorists To Attack What has been reported over the Internet since 9-11 is finally coming out in the establishment media. Thanks to CBS News (and Dan Rather?), the failure of the Bush administration to pay heed to numerous warnings before the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon is at long last being publicized. The following warnings were made prior to 9-11: Psychic Vera's Secret Diary May 9 Israelis Are No Longer the Chosen People The Israelis must stop thinking of themselves as the chosen people. They sound too much like Aryans. Eons ago God chose the Israelites to express his will and his word, but now the idea of the Jews as the chosen ones smacks of hubris. There is no such thing as a chosen race, or religion or nationality any more. We are all equal in God's eyes. His/Her light shines on the good as well as the sinner. I learned this when I had a revelation that the worse sin is pride or believing that you are favored by God above all others. Pride is a sickening sin. When the Israelis and the Bush administration stop being arrogant and committing this sin, it will be easier for us all to move forward into the arms of a global community that wants peace and progress. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary April 30 The Myth of a Free Press The basis of our government being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. Thomas Jefferson It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the thing which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it. Patrick Henry One of the most depressing realizations to come from the aftermath of 9-11 is the myth of a free press. Although many writers and commentators have been exposing this myth for some time, many of us have only removed our rosy colored glasses since the terrorist attack last September. Many of us haven't wanted to admit that the Bill of Rights that guarantees us a free press as well as other inalienable rights has been tossed into a dumpster used by the Bush administration as well as the corporations, plutocrats, and Supreme Court who supported his anti-democratic coup. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary April 17 April is the Cruelest Month April is the cruellest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain. T.S. Elliot, The Wasteland I. The Burial of the Dead I've been really paying attention to the advent of spring this year and the instability of the weather, the events, and personalities that are under the influence of Aries. Spring is trying to get a foothold during the month of April and it's not an easy task. I'll start with the weather in my neck of the woods and then move on to more important but unstable outcomes and decisions during this April month of Aries, the Ram. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary April 3 Killing--The Palestinian/Israeli Addiction Blessed are the peacemakers The Palestinians and the Israelis are addicted to killing. They continue to do it despite all efforts in the past for peace. The Palestinians have never known peace since Israel was made a state and their young men think they'll go to heaven if they turn themselves into suicide bombers. Killing gives meaning to an otherwise hopeless existence under Israeli rule. On an unconscious level, they must enjoy it. So does George W. Bush, as long as he doesn't have to get his hands dirty. Unlike Clinton who worked tirelessly to promote peace in the Mid East, Bush has done nothing personally to try to stop it. He approves of the killing of so-called evil-doers (he certainly enjoyed the death penalty in Texas--remember his smirk at one of the debates after he mentioned a killer on death row, as well as his contemptible joking in an interview with Tucker Carlson in Talk magazine about the soon to be executed Tucker woman pleading for her life?). He approves of Israelis killing Palestinians, because he identifies the US war against terrorism in Afghanistan with Israel's war against the Palestinians. Sharon, with the blurred personal boundaries of an afflicted Pisces, has now adopted Bush's rationale and proclaims that he is just in killing Palestinians to avenge Israel and to route terrorism. Bush can relate. He likes Sharon. According to the January 2002 edition of Vanity Fair, Sharon likes George W. more than he liked George H.W. They are two water signs together in harmony. That's another reason Bush has done nothing to stop the violence in the Middle East. Then there's the problem of Bush's Mars in Virgo. Virgo likes to stay clean. Bush hates messes. Is there a bigger intractable mess then what is happening in the Middle East right now? Psychic Vera's Secret Diary March 26 Republican Psychopathology "The light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not." John I: 5 I think it's about time to more deeply analyze the psycho-pathology of Republicans. Psychopathology means mental illness and we've discussed Republican mental illness many times in different articles in this newsletter, but there hasn't been a whole entry focused on a psychological explanation for Republican party members' actions during the Clinton debacle as well as their present miserable destructive behavior. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary March 12 Amazing Grace--The Transformation of David Brock Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now, I see.T'was Grace that taught...my heart to fear.And Grace, my fears relieved.How precious did that Grace appear...the hour I first believed.Through many dangers, toils and snares...we have already come.T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...and Grace will lead us home.The Lord has promised good to me...His word my hope secures.He will my shield and portion be...as long as life endures.When we've been here a thousand years...bright shining as the sun.We've no less days to sing God's praise...then when we've first begun."Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....I once was lost but now am found,Was blind, but now, I see. I hate to say it, because it might seem both corny and sacrilegious, but after reading Blinded by the Right, The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative, I thought of the hymn "Amazing Grace." I remembered this hymn of transformation because it was written by a man that had been a slave ship captain and had turned from a godless life. Although he continued being a ship captain for several years after, he apparently treated the slaves humanely. Later in his life, he became a minister and influenced William Wilberforce who would become a leader in the fight against slavery. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary March 5
Rev Schuller Hangs Out With Nazi Thou sayest, "I am rich and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked." Revelation 3:17 Reverend Schuller may not be such a very nice man, after all. Years ago I thought he might be, but when I look at his picture and think about his crystal cathedral, I wonder how dedicated a Christian he really is. I'm particularly suspicious now that I know he's fraternizing with a Nazi. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary February 18--President's Day Something Evil This Way Comes George W. Bush has finally found his mission in life. After 55 years of waste, this Scull and Bones frat rat has decided that his life has meaning. We are the dubious beneficiaries of his newly found raison d'etre. He now believes it is his duty to hunt down and destroy all evil doers. This will take his lifetime and ours. He won't be able to complete his mission during his first term in office. He won't be able to complete his mission at all. Meanwhile we have to suffer the consequences of his deluded Napolean imagination. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary February 12 Enron's Mess is Our Gain Two things have no limit--the stupidity of man and the mercy of God. George Gurdjieff In the cosmic scheme of things, couldn't the Enron collapse be a good thing? Not for the thousands of employees, of course, who lost their life savings investing in a bogus firm, but I'm thinking about all the rest of us who have been adversely affected by the gross materialism that is presently destroying the planet. Perhaps putting the light on a malignant corporation will help turn the tide against the "greed is good mantra" as sung by George W. Bush Inc. and his pal, Kenny Boy Lay.
Bush Steps On Dog Turd, Sets Off Alarm In a stunning revelation to Psychic Vera, Psychic Chuck claims that he saw, while traveling on the astral plane, the president step on a dog turd and set off an alarm in the White House. "You won't hear about this one on television,"Chuck said. "After the flak and ridicule Bush received over the pretzel incident," Chuck said, "the White House is being very circumspect about what they reveal to the press regarding the goings on in the First Family's domicile." Asked why stepping on a dog turd would set off an alarm, Psychic Chuck reminded Vera of the recent incident of the San Francisco Airport in which a traveler set off a screening machine alarm because he had residue similar to a plastic explosive on the soles of his shoes. A spokesman for the Airport said the residue has the same signature as common fertilizer which meant the man could have simply walked over a lawn. "Or stepped on a dog turd," Chuck added. When Psychic Vera asked how it was that none of the secret service men picked up the turd and disposed of it before Bush stepped on it, Chuck said,"that's a karmic mystery that may never be solved." Vera, who is a psychic detective, claimed that if Enron is represented by the pretzel that choked the president, the dog turd is karmic retribution for Bush's treatment of California during its energy crisis. "It appears that Enron had a hand in that too," she said. "While California suffered to the tune of a 50 billion loss to taxpayers over price gouging and begged for caps on energy prices, Kenneth Lay met with VP Dick Cheney and warned him not to limit the escalation of energy costs for Californians. Due to the SF Chronicle publishing the memo from Lay to the Vice President, Cheney and Bush are both in deep doo doo now," Vera warned. Chuck wasn't so sure. "I wonder if the White House has already contacted the Supreme Court Justices that voted to overthrow the Constitution and install Bush as the unlawfully elected president?" Vera could see where Chuck was going with this idea and she didn't like it. "Are you thinking that smug and arrogant Cheney feels safe in his refusal to hand over the notes of his meetings with the energy magnates to the GAO (General Accounting Office), because he knows that if the White House takes the case all the way to the Supreme Court, the Bush Administration will win?" "That's exactly what I'm thinking," Chuck said. You must be psychic, Vera". Psychic Vera's Secret Diary January 29 Sandra Day O'Connor: A Cold Fish If I Ever Saw One After reading Dan Baum's review of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's new autobiography, Lazy B, in the Chicago Tribune Online,I can certainly understand why she voted to give George Bush the presidency, despite the wishes of the voters. Although I haven't read her book and I'm just relying on Baum's book review, I've gathered enough information to label her as a cold fish and to analyze her astrological chart. Cold fish is an old term, often used by my mother to describe an individual, usually a man, who according to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,"seem to have no warm feelings, was unemotional and impassive." Psychic Vera's Secret Diary January 23 Enron Again and Again and Again Besides the shredding of documents, the latest news about the Enron debacle involves the president's mother-in-law, Jenna Welsh, who apparently lost 8,180 dollars in investment when Enron folded. From $40.90 a share when she bought the stock in September of 1999 to 42 cents a share when she sold it on December 4, her investment is now worth $84.00. The president is outraged about Enron now. No more mister nice guy treatment for family friend, Kenneth Lay. Can you see the following hypothetical scene between Bush and his wife, Laura? MERCURY RETROGRADE STORIES Three times a year, Earth speeds up in its orbit around the Sun and catches up with the usually faster planet, Mercury. When this occurs, it seems that Mercury is falling behind or going retrograde. When Mercury is retrograde, starting new projects will attract difficulties, communication will go awry, and traveling and transportation can be problematic. It's not a good time to buy anything with moveable parts, set up appointments, or believe any gossip that you hear. In fact, it's too bad that we all don't just take a break during Mercury retrograde, but for must of us that's impossible. We just have to do the best we can under trying circumstances. This little column will focus on mercury retrograde stories that I've found in the media, experiences that I or my friends and acquaintances have had during this annoying period. Mercury is ready to go retrograde from the 18th of this month until February 8th. But there is always about a week before and several days after that we can experience these retrograde snafus. If we shouldn't buy much of anything, start new projects, take too seriously what people say, or make appointments and expect them to be kept, what can we do during this 30 day period? We can spend more spiritual time-- this is inner work time, and we can re-visit old projects or ideas. Psychic Vera's Secret Diary January 15, 2002 Bush Chokes on Pretzel Labeled Enron and Faints
Bush choked on a pretzel over the weekend because he's worried about being implicated in the Enron debacle. Some people don't think it was a pretzel that brought the leader of the free world to his knees.. They think he had too much to drink and passed out. Either way it doesn't look good for a president without enough brains to not lie about when he first met Kenneth Lay, CEO of Enron. Lie #1: Bush said he met Lay when he(Bush) was running for governor of Texas in 1994. Wrong. Lay has donated money to the Bushes for years and in 1988, according to an article in Mother Jones, Bush Jr.contacted officials in Argentina to try to convince them to accept a low bid from Enron to build a gas pipeline. Lie #2: Lay supported Ann Richards for Governor in 1994. Wrong. Lay has said himself that he had switched his support from Richards to Bush, because of the family ties with the old man(George H.W. Bush). Isn't it stupid to lie about something that has a paper trail. I guess Democrats lie about their sex lives and Republicans lie about their selfish greed. I find lying about ones sex life more acceptable, as long as it doesn't involve the possibility of murder(Gary Condit). It just goes to show that Democrats are more interested in sex and Republicans are more interested in money. In my life I've always chosen sex over money. Maybe that's one of the reasons I'm a Democrat and not rich. January 3, 2002 "If you can't say anything good about someone, sit right here by me." Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth Christmas Letter to George Bush I wrote the following letter to George Bush during the Christmas holidays but I didn't send it to him because I knew he wouldn't read it, and I didn't publish it here because I thought it was too negative for the Christmas holidays. Then too, I guess I felt guilty because I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel, which is what Christmas is really all about, isn't it? A great being came to earth to give us the simple message to love our neighbors and to love God, and by doing so, he planted the seeds for love and peace. |
