Saddam "Captured"
John H. is in his seventies and he used to work for years for the military as a civilian. He won't tell me what he did there, but he does seem to know something about its secrets. Two months ago he told me that the Bush administration and the Pentagon knew where Saddam Hussein was and they were just waiting for the right time to capture him. "When Bush's poll numbers are down and they need a diversion and a victory, they'll trot Hussein out," John said. Then he added with a tone of disgust, "The snakes." John also said that they knew where Bin Laden was too and they'd capture him when they needed to quell the criticism of the critics. I feel that John was right about Saddam. Bush's poll numbers have been down, despite his plastic turkey debacle in Iraq on Thanksgiving. And he needed a victory after his bulging crotch landing on the carrier proved to be a premature ejaculation.

Bush Hatred
The press bears a great deal of responsibility in the common depiction of George W. Bush, in building up his image, which, as it has been projected, bears very little resemblance to how he performs as President. He was depicted as decisive, in command, somebody who completely grasped and was in synch with the needs of the difficult moment the country faced on September 11. In fact, he is manipulated by his staff, buffeted by the neoconservatives inside his administration, kept from important information, unknowledgeable about so much information, makes decisions on the most simplistic basis, never carries through on his own policies such as the Roadmap to Peace in the Middle East, operates in a closed, small circle, doesn't seek out information independently, has fostered internecine warfare within the National Security Apparatus between the intelligence the Defense Department and the National Security Council. Sidney Blumenthal, former assistant and advisor to President Clinton and author of The Clinton Wars.
Recently, Time magazine had a picture of Bush on the cover with a kiss on one side of his face while the other side sported a black eye. Although the article explored the dichotomy of viewpoints about Bush held by the American people, it appears that journalists and pundits have just discovered Bush hatred and, for the most part, they don't understand it. Some think that the liberals are going off their nut, are ready for the looney bin.The intensity of the negative feelings towards the president boggles their mind. If they went out and talked to regular people instead of staying insulated with their own kind, they wouldn't be as flummoxed. Every day someone tells me that they are disgusted by Bush and can't bear to look at him; every time he comes on the TV, they switch channels. Here's why people hate Bush.

All the Rich Want is Your Money
On Sunday I talked to a friend of mine who works for a consulting firm for big business. His firm's clients are some of the biggest corporations in the world. "Working in the belly of the beast", he said has given him an interesting perspective on the mind set of some of the richest people in the world. "They want your last $5.00," he said and "they'll do almost anything to get it." "What about power" I said, "don't they want that?" "They are interested in power in order to make more money."

The Dean Thing
It's becoming more and more obvious why Psychic Chuck and I decided to support Howard Dean for president. We appreciated that he said what he thought (Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Gemini) and what he thought was the same as what we were thinking. Besides, we weren't overly impressed with the Democratic candidates. After the last Rock the Vote debate, I can see why.

Bad Month for Bush and his Beastly Boys
Saturn continues to make October a bad month for George Bush. Thai farmers put his picture in a clay pot and tossed it into the Ping River in northern Thailand. "This is a traditional northern Thai ceremony aimed at keeping his spirit down on the riverbed so he could not come and exploit our national resources or suppress our brother with his superior influence," said Weerasak Wan-ubol, an executive of the Northern Farmer's Alliance in Thailand. Members of the Alliance were protesting plans for a tree trade agreement between Thailand and the US as well as protesting Bush's military intervention in sovereign nations.

Arnold Wins but Republicans Will Reap the Bad Thing
Bush is swamped by a flood of bad news. His popularity is tumbling, his rationale for war in Iraq is crumbling, his economy is stumbling and his aides are bumbling with an outrageous intelligence breach.
--Marianne Means, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
October, the month for Republican reckoning is finally here. Although stupid Californians voted for Arnold Swartzenegger, on other fronts it's grim reaper time for the Republicans, particularly those that were born under the signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn. It's Saturn, the terminator, that's causing these signs to run for cover. You can only ignore Saturn for so long and then your reap what you've sown. Pay attention to Saturn, stay within the law, don't be guilty of hubris and you'll reap the positive side of the planet's influence, which is a reward for honest, hard work.
But the Republicans don't believe in hard work. They've tried to steal, bully, and destroy in order to get what they want. They've been going over the edge for some time. Bad Republicans started with Nixon. They think their money coupled with their lack of ethics allows them to do precisely what they want.
Everyone has to pay the piper for that tune.

MARS
Mars is still very close to the earth and going retrograde in Pisces. People I talk to say that they have a lack of energy and focus. Women say that men are acting too aggressive. There have been many accidents in my neck of the woods. The car bomb killed the Shiite cleric in Iraq while Mars has been retrograding in Pisces and is closest to the Earth than it has been in over 60,000 years. More suicide bombings in Israel have occurred in retaliation for assassination of Hamas leaders.

Republican Pact with Devil: California--Bargaining Tool
You don't have to be a psychic to figure out that there is something rotten in the state of California and that George Bush and the Republican Party are causing the stink.

Chasing the American Dream, Son of Nazi Runs for Governor
"Arnold Schwarzenegger looks like a condom full of walnuts" Clive James
Aren't you happy that a Viennese masher and body builder is running for Governor in this absurd and disgusting recall election engineered by the White House? Is Arnold any better than Larry Flint, porn king? I don't think so. At least Larry is up front about what he is. Arnold grabs women's breasts, tweaks their nipples, and generally acts like a boor, and then denies it all.

Draft Darrell Issa, Make Him Pay
"Their talk was the talk of sordid buccaneers: it was reckless without hardihood, greedy without audacity, and cruel without courage; there was not an atom of foresight... in the whole batch of them, and they did not seem aware these things are wanted for the work of the world." Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
I'm proposing that Darrell Issa, the rich California congressman that funded the Recall petition against Governor Davis, who gathered the signatures of only 12% of the eligible voters, be made to pay the outrageous costs of holding the recall election. If he wants to be Governor, make him pay for it. As a taxpayer, I don't want to foot the costs. I don't want to recall the governor. As I mentioned in an earlier column, the most serious charge you can level against Gray Davis is that he's dull, boring, and controlling. Further, Issa should put up the money to make up for the dismal BBB bond rating that the State of California has now due to his election shenanigans. The state is in deep do do and it's not the fault of Davis. We can lay almost all the blame on Bush.

Astrological Aspects Protecting Bush Dissolving
It's obvious that the astrological aspects protecting George Bush are finally leaving. And thanks in large part to the ravenous British press, the U.S media is following suit and has begun to publish critical articles about the Bush administration's lies to the American people.
Psychic Predicts:
Governor Davis Impeached:
Too Dull, Controlling, Boring
In an unprecedented grab for power (save for the 2000 national elections), the U.S. Supreme Court will vote 5-4 to impeach California's Governor, Gray Davis. So says Psychic Vera. "If you travel to exactly the right location on the astral plane, you can often see the future, and I saw the Supremes vote to impeach the Governor for being too dull, controlling, and boring. Their decision must have been based on those character traits, because Davis hasn't committed any crime grave enough, other than having a bad personality, to be removed from office.
Of course, every one that has read the Constitution(about 2% of the population) realizes that the Supremes can't vote to impeach anyone, even the President of the United States. But Vera insists she saw what she saw. "After deciding who would be president after the 2000 election, the Highest Court (lackeys for the Bush administration) has been emboldened. They ran rough shod over the Florida Supreme Count, destroying the right of a state to manage their own election. On the astral plane, they turned their sights on California, which has been a stye in George Bush's eye. Not only did Californians not vote for Bush in 2000, they elected all Democrats to state offices and re-elected Davis, an unpopular governor, in last November's election."

Bush's America Like the Matrix?
Most of humanity are unconscious of the fact that they live and move in a world of phantasmagoria; however, some have perceived this and have discovered in themselves the origin of this phantasmagoria.
--Alexandra David-Neel and Lama Yongden, The Secret Oral Teachings in Tibetan Buddhist Sects
Tom Tomorrow's comic strip last week compares George Bush's America to the new movie, Matrix Reloaded. So does Ariana Huffington. Some are even saying that the movie equates Bush with Hitler. Frank Rich, in his article, "There's No Exit from the Matrix", covers the same ground. Synchronistically, I found a comparison between the first movie in the Matrix series and the way Tibetan Buddhists view the phenomenal world discussed in a book I've been reading: Occult Tibet by J.H. Brennan.

Rule by Petulance and Humiliation.
"This president has used humiliation as a weapon, not only against our enemies but against our friends."
"This president has exercised foreign policy by petulance."
--Howard Dean, Democratic presidential candidate
Dearly Beloved, avenge not yourselves, vengeance is mine saith the Lord, I will repay. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him. If he thirst give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
--Romans 12;19-20
As usual, Howard Dean is right when he describes Bush's foreign policy as petulant and that he governs by humiliation. Our current president is an ego-centric spiteful little man who is quick to take offense. He likes to punish villains because they deserve it, but he also likes to punish anyone that threatens his fragile ego. Those that go up against him get paid back in spades. One of the reasons he went after Saddam was in order to punish him for supposedly trying to assassinate his father. He has tried to destroy all the achievements of the Clinton administration because he wanted to punish the ex-president for wresting the office away from his father and the Republican Party, who thought it had a lock on the presidency. Everything Bush does is personal. He has no talent or inclination for looking at the big picture, of sacrificing his own needs and agenda in order to make this country a better place for the American people, or of rising above his own whims. As my ex-husband used to say in describing others of his ilk, he is nothing but a petty tyrant.

Lies and Bulging Crotches
"One of the reasons I left was my sense that they were using the intelligence from the CIA and other agencies only when it fit their agenda. They didn't like the intelligence they were getting, and so they brought in people to write the stuff. They were so crazed and so far out and so difficult to reason with--to the point of being bizarre. Dogmatic, as if they were on a mission from God. If it doesn't fit their theory, they don't want to accept it." An unnamed former intelligence official talking to journalist, Seymour Hersh,about the Bush administration.
You don't have to be a psychic to know that the Bush administration lied about Iraq. Anyone that has been paying attention knows that there aren't any weapons of mass destruction, that sociopathic Saddam wasn't a threat to the United States, and Bush didn't tell the truth about why he wanted to go to war. And now that we've "won" the war, our reconstruction efforts are being sabotaged by Baath Party members.

The Pilfering President
For the past several days I've been working with secondary progressions, one of the methods used to plot planetary cycles. Besides indicating cycles of enfoldment and development in individual lives, the degree symbols of the progressed planets give us an interesting picture of the soul in time. I've been looking at my own progressed planets as well as Psychic Chuck's, but what I want to talk about this evening is pertinent progressed Sun degree symbols for the horoscopes of the US and George Bush, our unfortunate country's present representative.

Americans: Mean and Stupid?
"We had a great day. We killed a lot of people. We dropped a few civilians, but what do you do?" There were women standing near an Iraqi soldier, and one of them fell when he and other Marines opened fire. "I'm sorry but the chick was in the way."
--Sgt. Eric Shrumpf, U.S. Marine Corps
"The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who is able to think things out for himself... Almost inevitably, he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable."
- H.L. Mencken
The other day I saw a monster truck with a mean and stupid scrawl all over the windows. It was even on the windshield. Kill Sadam, Kill Osama Bin Laden. Whack Iraq. The only thing we've accomplished of that trifecta is the latter and boy did we whack Iraq. Ain't America proud? The driver was one of the skin headed, clunky young Americans who looks mean and stupid. Thank God they are a minority where I live, but they may be in the majority in many parts of this country. George Bush has got them under his thumb, just like Hitler did in Germany. It makes no more sense that a failed sociopathic painter could mesmerize people than it does for a failed sociopathic businessmen with dyslexia to attract such hero worship. However, The president is mean and stupid and he attracts mean and stupid idolizers. They can identify with him.

A Horrible Time
I've lived a long while now and I don't remember any more unpleasant times than these. I'm not even interested in reading the sports pages. I hate everything about this war except that we're winning it.
Andy Rooney
The War has almost come and gone and I've written very little about it. I guess I've just been in too much pain. Everyday I've stuck with the internet for the news because I have lost all confidence in broadcast media. They are not showing the horrors in Iraq. If they did, there would be no support for Bush's debacle left.
Today I was thinking about how I'd felt during the Vietnam War. Like now I was against the war, but then I was more conflicted about it. I had a difficult time realizing the truth, that our wonderful country was engaging in such a wicked acts. In the beginning I thought we must have a good reason for being in Vietnam, but in the beginning I was a naive teenage girl overly protected by her parents.

It's One Sociopath Against Another--Bush Starts His Shock and Awe
Those who decide that all peaceful means that international law makes available are exhausted assume a grave responsibility before God, their conscience and history-- Vatican spokesman, Joaquin Navarro-Valls.
Psychic Chuck is a prophet. Although a Capricorn, he has several planets in Sagittarius, the prophetic sign. Chuck is not the type to get rattled, but he says things are going to get pretty bad for us in this country. He may be right. When one sociopathic leader tries to kill another sociopath, like Hitler did with Stalin, or as Bush is doing with Hussein, you can judge that the both governments are possessed by the dark side. When the Devil takes up residency, and citizens are so ignorant they bow down at his feet, believing he's an angel of light, we know we're in trouble. I believe Bush may be a sociopath. I do not use that label lightly.

Bush has Lost Touch with Reality
I've been writing a children's novel for over a year and it's almost completed. My task today is to finish the test that the Tibetan boy goes through, a scene that I've been trying to write now for weeks. The threat of War has consumed so much of my time and energy, however, that I've had difficulty concentrating on the novel.Today it is even more difficult, particularly when I think about the Iraqi children who will be killed on the orders of our dangerous president. So before I can work on the children's novel, I must write once more about Bush being out of touch with reality and how Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Blair are also putting the world's children in harm's way.

Bush's War
For the last month I've watched with acute distress as the Bush administration has moved us closer to a war that much of the world realizes will be a disaster. I keep seeing the devastating picture of the mushroom cloud hovering over the world. We all saw it again and again on television while we were growing up in the fifties. Here it is again appearing in my mind's eye.

Does Columbia Presage Further Tragedy for America?
I woke up with a rush of adrenalin on February 1 at 4:15 in the morning. Waking early is not an uncommon occurrence, but generally I can get back to sleep. Not on February 1st. I tossed and turned in anxiety for another hour and half until Psychic Chuck woke me up at 5:45. I got up, exhausted and still anxious and came out to the living room. I didn't know what I was anxious about but I felt dreadful. The Columbia shuttle was just flying overhead. Consciously, I didn't know it was there. Psychically I must have. One local woman who was outside at that time said it was a ball of fire. Psychic Chuck had to go to work and he called me at 6:22 on the road. "Turn on CNN," he said, "they've lost contact with the shuttle." Still, we hadn't know that it had been overhead, nor did we realize that it had launched 16 days before. I turned on CNN and saw the shuttle fall through the sky. It was eerie, although right then it wasn't as distressing as the 1986 video of the Challenger blowing up over and over and over or the Twin Towers collapsing. Now it's disturbing to think that it may have been starting to break up as it was flying over us here and that's why I woke up with an anxiety attack and couldn't get back to sleep.
PSYCHIC RAPTURED; OTHERS LEFT BEHIND
Pride Goeth Before a Fall
Sitting around a table one day with her husband and three of her students, Psychic Vera abruptly announced that she would be one of the saintly ones to be RAPTURED, while others, like her students Brother Duke, Psychic Banner and Psychotic Rat and even her husband, Psychic Chuck, would be some of those left behind to face the anti-Christ and the Tribulation. Referring to Tim LaHaye's riveting Armageddon series, Left Behind, Psychic Vera became convinced that due to her elevated state of consciousness, she would soon be in Heaven while the others would be in Hell.

Happy New Year--Bush and Company are Going Down
I'm the commander. I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation-- George W. Bush to Journalist Bob Woodward
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall-- Proverbs 16:18
I'm looking forward to this 2003 because astrological aspects tell us that this year will include a return of the Watergate cycle--when presidents and their men are brought down low. We can already see it start to happen if we look closely enough at the signs.
