 Homeland Security
"Background: The 'Total Information Awareness' database is the brainchild of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the research and development core of the Department of Defense. The database will gather data regarding credit card purchases, telephone calls made, websites visited, academic grades received, surveys taken, sweepstakes entered, property purchased, financial records, magazine subscriptions, medical procedures and so forth. The data will reveal not only shopping habits but an overall picture of personal lifestyle, including everything from pets owned to religious preferences. Every American will be subject to its scrutiny. It will be run by Admiral John Poindexter, who was criminally convicted in 1990 for lying to Congress, destroying official documents and obstruction of justice in the Iran/Contra scandal.

U.S. Patriot Act/Homeland Security
Commentary
[no time known yet for when Bush signed the Homeland Security Act. For reasons of convenience, I used the time of 10:56 a.m., the time Bush signed the U.S. Patriot Act on October 26, 2001.]
U.S. Patriot Act
Progressed Ascendant 14 Sagittarius, degree of Ascendant and Mercury in the sign Libra for first tower hit, 9-11-02;
Progressed Moon 13 Pisces, square Ascendant, Pluto and natal Saturn;
T-Pluto 16 Sagittarius, conjunct Bush's progressed South Node; and
Lunar Nodes: 28 Sagittarius South/28 Gemini North (degree of 9-11 Moon at 28 Gemini)
Henry Kissinger

It's a nest of vipers. The U.S. Patriot Act, the Homeland Security Act, and Henry Kissinger's appointment by Bush as lead investigator for 9-11-01 intelligence failures. Folks are saying that having Kissinger investigate 9-11 is akin to having Milosevic investigate war crimes. Might as well break out the Ouiji Board and call up Hitler's henchmen.
You might think I'm exaggerating. Just in case you do, click the link below and peruse the U.S. Customs Vesting Order drawn up against Prescott Bush (Dubya's grandfather) for prosecution of PB and New York Bank under the USA's "Trading With The Enemy" act during WWII. Prescott Bush and his bank profited mightily off the Nazi war machine. After this, Prescott Bush became a United States Senator. Can there be any doubt that the United States has been, and is, in serious trouble when left in the hands of neoconservatives and a highjacked-by-the-Right Republican Party?
If Bush's own grandfather traded with Nazis; if Kissinger is a wanted war criminal in France and parts of South America; how can the American people remain silent? Why are we not weeping in the streets? Why aren't we less afraid of Bin Laden and more afraid of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle and Wolfowitz?
And what will happen when, at the end of the day, every last thing you buy, every doctor you see, every decision you make, winds up in Poindexter's spy database? Poindexter, by the way, was convicted of lying to Congress a la Iran-Contra. It should be mentioned that the most egregious crimes and acts of treason in America have happened in Republican administrations. Since 1969, the administrations of Nixon, Reagan and both Bushes are rife with scandal. Bill Clinton's sex life and alleged Whitewater dealings (disproved) is kindergarten stuff compared to the GOP's ongoing love affair with secrecy and fascism.
Republicans
Eisenhower = McCarthy Witch Hunt, "Are you now, or have you ever been . . ."
Nixon = Watergate/ and Kissinger's Vietnam-Cambodia massacres.
Reagan = Iran-Contra. Outfitting Saddam with bioweapons he used to gas the Kurds.
(Cheney and Bush did business with Saddam: Harkin Energy/Halliburton.)
Democrats:
Clinton = blow jobs. It would seem that sex outranks genocide and treason on the Republican "morality" list. Yet they are quick to excoriate men and women who are pro-choice and anti-capital punishment.
Maureen Dowd on Kissinger -- "It was Dick Cheney's brainstorm, naturally. Only someone as pathologically opaque as the vice president could appreciate the sublime translucency of Henry Kissinger.
"They will look askance at Mr. Kissinger's résumé: keeping the Vietnam War going for years after he realized it might be unwinnable; encouraging the illegal bombing of Cambodia; backing Chile's murderous Pinochet; playing Iago to President Richard Nixon, telling him he'd be "a weakling" if he did not prosecute newspapers running the Pentagon Papers; wiretapping journalists and his own colleagues to track down leaks on the Cambodia bombing. Maureen Dowd, NY Times
The U.S. Patriot Act chart takes hard hits from the Homeland Security Act chart. The Sun, representing the "heart of the matter," is conjoined to "database" Mercury in the 12th house of espionage. The South Node shows that matters of spying upon citizens is nothing new. McCarthy, Nixon, Kissinger, and Reagan routinely collected information on Americans. Nixon's "enemies of the White House" list was made famous during the Watergate hearings. Kissinger's wiretaps of journalists, were well-known as well.
Pluto still traverses the USA's first house (1776 chart, 12 Sagittarius rising) undermining, erasing and irrevocably ejecting America out of her peaceful slumber; her giant myths of "freedom," "justice," "equality," and "security." America's wide open spaces are now shopping malls and parking lots. One's destiny is decided by the corporation you allow to buy your time. Saving America from "Jihad" is contingent upon credit card debt and pumping more gas into that SUV. Just ask Ari Fleischer. His answer for everything is to shop, shop, shop. We have to bail out the economy so the rich can keep their tax cut.
The progressed Moon for the U.S. Patriot Act Chart (not shown) is at 13 Pisces in the third house in square to Pluto, the Ascendant and natal Saturn at 14 Gemini retrograde. It is an intercepted Moon (Koch houses) indicating that the people are being hoodwinked (Neptune/Pisces) and trapped (Moon's interception). The snare is doubly dangerous due to Neptune's natal position at 6 Aquarius in the U.S. Patriot Chart. Neptune, on October 26, 2001, was conjoined to the USA's South Node. Six Aquarius is also the degree in which we find Neptune posited in Bush's inauguration chart. Located in the 10th house at 12:02 pm, January 20, 2001, we already knew that this was a presidency shadowed by fear, scandal and lies.
Neptune "gone nodal" (it is currently in the degree of the transiting lunar nodes as well) also identifies the "enemy not seen." That is, Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda. It is Saddam's "hidden" weapons of mass destruction. The Bush administration's undisclosed "evidence" against Saddam. It is the substance of Cheney's secret oil/energy meetings with the likes of Ken Lay of Enron. It is the Bush administration's lapse in taking pre-September 11th intelligence reports seriously and covering it up. It is Karl Rove's secret plans to "roll out" Iraq in September and divert the American people from questioning the administration on the economy and the environment. The midterm Elections of 2002 were the most cynical and unforgiveable manipulation of the American electorate in its history. It is also a beguiled Bush. A Bush under the spell of the neoconservatives in the Pentagon who are hellbent on settling old scores in Iraq coupled with their messianic urge to "spread American democracy" like herpes across the middle east. That should really work well in the lands of Ottoman Empire.
The Progressed Moon (13 Pisces) in the U.S. Patriot Act chart will reach 19 Pisces in May and June of 2003. This will bring the Patriot Moon into a square relationship to the Bush Inauguration Moon and Pluto posited in its 8th house. The timing coincides with Saturn's move into the sign of Cancer, and its roll across the USA's Venus-Jupiter Conjunction signifying unlimited capitalism -- the right to eat, drink, buy, spend, debt and drive to distraction.
Saturn conjoining Venus and Jupiter means NO MONEY. The last time Saturn rolled over the USA's Venus-Jupiter, Nixon was being investigated for Watergate and the U.S. economy was in shambles due to the Vietnam war.
We now approach that fitful juncture's Saturn Return.
How does Bush intend to fund his future wars (Iran, North Korea) if Iraq alone costs upwards of $200 billion dollars? We don't have any allies willing to add to the war chest. The Bush Administration's unlateralism has made enemies around the world. The closer Saturn comes to the USA's birth Sun (13 Cancer) and in square to the USA's natal Saturn (14 Libra), the more trouble America is likely to face. Bush should start experiencing harsh political reversals by summer 2003, but a real comeuppance for the right wing won't take place until the American people suffered mightily.
Saturn's transit at 27 Gemini retrograde is currently conjoined to the natal North Node in the 7th house of open enemies in the U.S. Patriot Act chart. This nodal signature is a grave harbinger of things to come as "28 Gemini" is the Moon's degree on September 11, 2001 at the time the first jet slammed into the WTC.
We've also got a transiting grand air trine comprised of Uranus, Mars and Saturn, reiterating the horrific "attack out of the skies" scenario of 9-11. The grand air trine of September 11th was a signature astrological marker of "an attack from the air."
Surface to air missiles shot at an Israeli airliner in Kenya, East Africa over the Thanksgiving holidays should be taken as a serious demonstration of Osama's attack plans for the future in the USA.
Poindexter's Information Awareness spy program, a partial brain hemorrhage of John Ashcroft's and the Justice Department's revisioning of the Malleus Maleficarum, is another example of American gone wrong under the extreme hand of the Bush Administration. The dangers inherent in this spy program defy description. There is no possibility of building safeguards into such a thing. How many people drive the speed limit when no one is looking? The problem is, those who are looking are also those who will be spying.
This is a bad, bad thing for America. It could well signal the end of the Great Experiment in self-governance envisioned by the founding fathers.
