Pro-Israel Media Deconstruction 101

Mainstream media coverage of the conflict between Israel and Palestine has always been ludicrously skewed to the Israeli/Zionist perspective. This is nothing new, and anyone with any media literacy is well aware of this.

Despite the fact that Palestinian casualties always outnumber Israeli at least 50 to 1, it is Israeli casualties and losses that top the newscasts. This has always been the case. Israeli life is worth more than Palestinian life in the mainstream media, plain and simple.

Last night, I saw a standard propaganda piece covering the Israeli attacks against Palestine in Gaza, and it serves as a perfect illustration of the propaganda machine at work. The "news" presented is one-sided, out of context, and creates manufactured support for unconscionable Israeli actions. 

This "news" story focused solely on the Palestinian rocket attacks coming from the ground. One of these rockets struck near an Israeli hospital and killed two people. This was the top story.

Not once was it mentioned in this "news" story that the Palestinian rocket attack was in retaliation for a previous attack launched by Israel that hit a Palestinian hospital, killing four people and wounding 30 medics. 

Not once in that same "news" story was it mentioned that the Palestinian rocket attacks are in retaliation for the bombs that have rained down on Gaza over the past two weeks and for the damage now being done via illegal ground invasion. This broader context was completely, mind-bogglingly, omitted.

(Media reports without broader context are less valuable than a steaming pile of feces. At least feces can be used as fertilizer.) 

Not once was it mentioned in that "news" story that Israel has launched its own rocket attacks in Gaza as it carries out the illegal ground invasion. The weighty fact that "more than 1,000" rockets have been launched by Palestine was included in the story, but the even weightier fact that more than 2,000 rockets have been launched by Israel was conveniently omitted (not to mention the bombs).

Israeli forces have now destroyed more than 500 Palestinian homes and displaced more than 100,000 people.

They have attacked civilian homes, hospitals, mosques, and a stadium.

Not once in that same "news" story was there mention of the more than 600 Palestinian casualties of the most recent Israeli bombing and rocket attack campaigns. Not once was it mentioned that 80 percent of those casualties were civilians or that almost 100 of them were children.

If 100 Israeli kids were dead by the hands of Palestinians right now, we'd be in World War III. Make no mistake about it. The outcry over 100 dead Israeli kids would be echoing through CNN and MSNBC and CBS and ABC and Fox and PBS and every mainstream media news outlet in existence.

In fact, it was the trumped-up story of three murdered Israeli teenagers that was used to justify the recent attacks against Palestine. The murder of 500+ civilians and 100 children was justified by the deaths of those three teenagers, despite the fact that no culprit has been found or proven.

Israel is currently bombing a country that it illegally occupies. It has now launched an illegal ground invasion of a country it illegally occupies. And it is using weapons supplied to it by the United States of America, Britain, and other Global Government allies.

Because of the illegal occupation, Palestinian people have been forced into ghetto life, living as refugees without adequate access to the basics of life. They are forced to go through multiple checkpoints just to go about their daily lives.They are being occupied by a foreign military every day of their lives, a foreign military that rains bombs down upon them and their families at whim.

I recently saw a study that said that only 14% of Americans are sympathetic toward the Palestinians.

This shows the vicious efficacy of the pro-Israel propaganda machine.

The population of the United States of America is the most media-brainwashed and media-manipulated population in human history. I don't think there can be any doubt about that.

In order to throw off the murderous and fascist power structures that are killing us on this planet, increased media literacy and criticism are crucial. The ability to deconstuct the skewed information coming to us through mainstream media newscasts is critically necessary.

Until then, you will have a population justifying mass murder and wanton destruction as "protecting Israeli citizens."

There are many, many people - including astrologers - who are hiding in the weeds on this issue. They are choosing not to speak up, not to criticize Israel's actions. They are choosing to overlook their own country's support of Zionist-led mass murder. They choose to skirt away from a controversial issue like this because they see the big 86% statistic that feels no sympathy for the Palestinians. They want to maintain their popularity. They don't want to rock the boat.

This is the slow march toward the Global Governance stranglehold. This is the slow march toward global fascism, and it's speeding up. It starts in Palestine, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and it spreads.

Silence is complicity now more than ever.

And popularity means shit.

Speak out, speak up, extricate your mind and your own perspective from the mainstream media garbage. Or it's on your soul that you stayed quiet and went along during this time on Planet Earth.


* This article deconstructs pro-Zionist bias in the mainstream media which creates false support for violent Israeli-Zionist actions, including from U.S. and Canadian citizens.

This should be obvious to long-time readers, but I equally condemn violence and murder committed by Israeli Zionists and by Palestinian Hamas members (or other violent groups). I also make a distinct differentiation between Israeli and Palestinian citizens who oppose the violence and murder and the so-called leaders who are ordering and committing it. 

There are many people of all religious faiths around the world who see this violence and warmongering for what it is: a system of violent and inhumane global fascism, often referred to as "Global Governance," that must be opposed by all human beings who wish to live in a better world.

Re-Post: A Uranus-Pluto Square Reality Check Brought to By Your Friendly Plutonic Punk Astrologer

Planet of revolution, Uranus, stations retrograde tonight (8:52 p.m. CST) at 16 degrees Aries, increasing themes of "survival-based rebellion" in the face of top-down destruction and corruption from the highest levels of the illegitimate power hierarchies on this planet.

Both weather warfare (tornadoes, typhoons, and flooding of primary food-producing areas) and standard warfare (Israel's bombing campaign and illegal ground invasion of Palestine) were unleashed recently, timed to occur as the personal planets in Cancer triggered the Uranus in Aries - Pluto in Capricorn square for the final time of the square series.

Uranus in Aries now moves retrograde into the sixth square to Pluto in Capricorn on December 15, 2014. From there, both Uranus and Pluto move direct into the seventh and final square on March 16, 2015.

This is a re-post of an article from November 2, 2012. The themes remain as pertinent as ever:


"The levels of "shock and awe" emanating from the events timed to and associated with the Uranus in Aries - Pluto in Capricorn squares (2012-2015) correlate directly to how much credence and faith an individual put in the establishment structure of things to begin with.

If you've always understood there was something seriously wrong - like, abomination wrong -  with "the way things are," you're not going to be all that surprised by the events unfolding over the next years on this planet.

You also more than likely weren't surprised by anything that has gone on since Pluto entered Capricorn in 2008, when predatory mortgages and derivatives schemes were timed to collapse the United States economy and loot the public purse, creating a massive transfer of wealth from the people to the rich.

Or when the One European Currency experiment started going south.

If you understood the violent and inhumane nature of the money systems ahead of time, none of the shenanigans going on now is much of a surprise. This is a timed, intentional collapse, creating chaos so that the next steps toward maintaining control can be put in place. The new organizational schemes are not all that different from the old.

If you've been aware for a while now (since birth?) that things could not possibly continue under such levels of deception, denial, corruption, greed, exploitation, and destruction, it's not going to rock your world all that much when things prove fatally dysfunctional.

What's probably going to surprise you is that it's held up this long. And that people continue to put their energy into propping up the rotting, stinking schemes rather than re-working and fortifying real, necessary infrastructures.

If you've been following along with some of the 60+ posts related to Pluto in Capricorn on this blog, you're aware of the situation.

Right now, many people are breathlessly striving to make gains within corrupt and destructive stock market systems that mostly buy and sell shady financial contracts rather than anything real. People working and living in the primary industries, with real products and services, are considered suckers, dupes, the unfortunate souls who couldn't figure out the easy scam.

Financial astrologers are huge during Pluto's transit of Capricorn. "Figure out how to make a killing in the corrupt stock markets using astrology! Learn occult tricks of the trade that give you that inside edge! Make millions in blood money using the stars!"

Wheeeeeeeeee.

Understand that with Pluto, there's a trajectory toward maintaining corrupt power structures that is often much more popular and lucrative than the trajectory toward legitimacy, transparency, and necessary change.

If you haven't had financial security in the past, life is not going to be all that much different for you. Though you will be dealing with more extreme scenarios, you'll actually have a major leg up emotionally, psychologically, and along survival lines on the majority who continued to believe in Market Gods and invisible hands guiding them to neverending prosperity right up to the end.

There's a lot of talk about "all hell breaking loose" over the next few years on the planet.

But for most of the poor and working classes, hell has never not been breaking loose. Hell is something they're pretty used to, at this point. It's just that once it starts touching the middle and upper-middle classes, it starts to be considered a "real" problem, especially through media channels.

"The economy" was already shit, work was already hellish and exploitative, un- and under-employment were already rampant for many, many people before Pluto entered Capricorn and the predatory mortgages started kicking off like dominoes in 2008.

The majority didn't have the luxury of meaningful work before Pluto entered Capricorn, and the corporate steamrolling of small and independent businesses since the ingress has made things that much worse. Looking to corporations to provide meaningful, life-and-society-sustaining employment, as is the Pluto in Capricorn credo, is an absolute joke at this point.

For these reasons, I don't see the cardinal Grand Crosses of 2013 and 2014 as being that much of a switch for a certain percentage of the population. We're moving into a very pressurized, highly acute year from May 2013 to May 2014 when the uncertainty and tension will, at times, be unbearable. Structural frameworks will come unhinged in grand fashion. There will be violence, uprising, weather-related disasters. The circumstances people find themselves in will be highly challenging. Action will be required. New and unexpected directions will necessarily be taken. We will be moving en masse in relation to upheaval and manufactured chaos on both global and societal levels. But what else is new? Seriously, what could surprise at this point? Not even the end of the world.

The people who will experience the most "shock and awe" will be those who have been insulated financially from the real problems on this planet. The people who have been "successful" in the current systems, who have been playing along with the make believe. 

There is a strong element of self-fulfilling prophesy going on right now, a strong element of occult-assisted planning, and a strong element of manipulation, including of weather.

The "sky is falling" types will be able to pat themselves on their backs when they perceive things as going to hell over the next few years.

But people like me, and like many who read this site, know we were already there long ago.

Those who engineer pyramid scheme structural realities on this planet are going to be banking on: shock, confusion, disbelief, emotional catatonia, psychological distress, denial, chaos. Illusions shattering and people being paralyzed under the realizations they're having.

These are the malleable public reactions, the ones that can be shaped like warm Plasticine, the emotional and psychological states that will ensure people follow blindly into the next **new and improved** hierarchical set-up.

The reactions of those who are already aware are not this. They're calm, unsurprised, practical, fairly unruffled. They're not easily manipulated. This is where we need to be over the next three years.

Understand that we have just entered a three-year span, Saturn's transit of Scorpio, when crisis energy will be highly manipulated. Fear and emotional and psychological shock will be used like weapons.

If you haven't already, slowly, gradually become aware of the broader context so that you do not get caught up in the manipulated chaos and emotional and psychological breakdown associated with Saturn in Scorpio in mutual reception to Pluto in Capricorn.

Understand what other people will be dealing with so you can help lead them through.

We're all going to need a little assistance at times."

Jupiter Enters Leo and the Rock & Roll in Our Hearts & Souls Will Never Die

Painting by GMacP

The biggest planet in the solar system, Jupiter, entered the sign of big personalities, big star power, and big creative endeavours, Leo, early on July 16 where it will remain until entering Virgo on August 11, 2015.

Expansion planet Jupiter entering the sign of the actor, the artist, the comedian, and the child-at-heart indicates a year of sexy, sizzling style, playfulness, pizzaz, and parties. Big colour. Big drama.

Most of all, it indicates a year of more fun, and most everyone could use more of that amidst the various hellrides we've been on in recent years (decades, centuries, and millenia).

We have a deep wellspring of "humour as precious, healing elixir" to draw from as Jupiter transits Leo, and black humour gets us through even the toughest and tightest of spots - where we are now.

Just when we think we're down and out, when we feel absolutely crushed under the weight of oppressive circumstances, we find something that tickles our fancy. We see something that makes us smile - maybe a child, maybe a pet, maybe a comical situation. We find the joke or the self-deprecating comment that sets us free. We find the buried flame and coax it back to life. This is the grace that Jupiter in Leo bestows upon us this year. These are our blessings: the ability to laugh in the faces of power-hungry dickheads and their needless, idiotic cruelty. The ability to mock and satirize those who falsely believe they can snuff out our flames with violence, hatred, and inhumanity.

We are buoyed throughout this year by the continual realization of how fucking funny human beings are. We're buoyed by the realization of how funny we are, how funny our friends are. We amuse ourselves and our friends this year, rejecting the shallow corporate versions of celebrity and entertainment.

With Jupiter transiting Leo, the inspiration to create is upon us. The inspiration to create something BIG is upon us.

And the Leo New Moon at 3 degrees conjunct Jupiter in Leo on July 26 (4:42 p.m. CST) officially kicks this year of creative expansion off with a bang. 

Jupiter in Leo reminds you to be the star that you are, the star that you were put on this Earth to be, because no one else can do it like you can.

But with Saturn transiting Scorpio (not leaving the sign entirely until September 2015), resources and energy are oh-so-limited. This means: what we create had better be good. It had better cut to the chase. It had better tap the deepest and richest veins of soul. It had better be sizzling hot, meaningful, and influential in creating the change we need to see on this spinning wheel. It had better say something that's aching to be said. Anything less is a waste of limited resources and creative juice.

Create a path to a future you'd like to live through on this planet. Create the new-era interpersonal dynamics that bring us into a better world.

We won't get the big reality check on the "catalytic relevancy" front until the very end of Jupiter's transit of Leo, when it (along with Venus in Leo) squares Saturn in Scorpio at 28 degrees of the signs on August 3, 2015. So it's in our best interests to hone our creative expressions to the most white-hot relevant and meaningful all along the way...

Relevant art, expression, and creativity can change the world. This is the potential we hold in our hearts and hands this year. 

But self-flagellating, useless, and/or strictly-for-profit art, expression, and creativity help kill the world. Creativity without soul, without catalytic relevance to the times, is dead, pointless, unnecessary. It's a vanity project. It's a cardboard cut-out. Throw a match on it.

Big egos without even bigger benevolence are a gargantuan bore.

This year, we work to stay on the most cutting-edge, relevant side of things. This is the only place we want to be.

We start to tap our deepest and most catalytic creative motivations as Jupiter in Leo moves into a square to Mars in Scorpio, exact on August 1, 2014. We want the guts and the glory and the truest soul-stuff, and we eliminate all else coming out of this square. We are driven by our motivations for change, change, the deepest and most necessary of change.    

Rock and roll is alive in our hearts and souls this year in more immediate ways than usual. The force of creation propelled through us can never die. It lives on and on and on without end.

Show this planet what sings through you. Show your ballsy, beautiful rebellion to those hierarchical powers-that-be who want to exterminate your shining light, who want to make you the same as everyone else. Jupiter in Leo forms a gorgeous, edgy fire trine to Uranus in Aries that is in effect for most of the year-long transit. This trine will be exact September 25, 2014, March 3, 2015, and June 22, 2015.

We are now rushing heart-first into this year of creative revolution, into this year of collective, creative rebel yell. 

Let's rock this little planet. Let's show them how it's done. 

The Cardinal Configurations and Orchestrated Disasters in Major Food-Producing Areas

July 2014 flooding at a local farm

Photo credit: Leader Post

As many of you know, hundreds of people have been displaced from their homes by flooding in the prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba since torrential rain on June 29, 2014. Millions of acres of farmland have been flooded, which will lead to major crop losses, and there have been hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage. Most rural roads, highways, and bridges were closed in the affected areas due to flooding. Some have collapsed and will need major repairs. At one point at the height of the flooding, there was no way in or out of a neighbouring village. Basements have been flooded and destroyed on a massive scale. There is currently no working sewer or potable water in my village.

Thankfully, no deaths or serious injuries have been reported.

For anyone following the cardinal t-square and Grand Cross narrative since 2010, however, this is no surprise. I've written about the geo-engineered disasters tied to these cardinal squares from the beginning: 

From August 2010: "Baseball-sized hail wreaked havoc in southeastern Saskatchewan this past Saturday, July 31 [2010]. Since just before the Full Moon Capricorn eclipse on June 26, Saskatchewan has experienced the wildest weather in memory, being pounded by storm after storm of hail, mass quantities of rain causing flooding, and tornadoes. One hundred fourteen communities have declared themselves disaster areas this summer due to flooding, and there has been massive crop failure due to both a cold, wet spring and now flooding. I'm not a person who believes most weather patterns are natural at this point (an earthquake AND a tornado just before the G8/G20 Summits?), but this is quite symbolic of the astro energies we're dealing with currently."

From May 2011: "As I've written about, the current cardinal t-square formed by Uranus in Aries opposite Saturn in Libra square Pluto in Capricorn becomes a quite unsettled (and unsettling) Cardinal Grand Cross mid-June through the end of August. We're under very similar astro conditions as we were last summer, only tighter and more condensed. The parallels are striking - and orchestrated.

- Last summer, the Canadian prairies, where I'm located, were flooded. This caused massive crop failures - if farmers were even able to get a crop in after an unusually cold and wet spring. Honeybees starved to death due to the lack of flowering crops - not a good omen.

This spring, we have more of the same: unusually cold temperatures and heavy precipitation. Farmers can't get on the land due to flooding. People along the rivers have been evacuated from their homes, and they're calling it a once in 300 years flood.

- Last spring and summer, the prairies had wild weather all summer long, including baseball-sized hail, destructive winds and tornadoes.

This spring, various U.S. states are experiencing deadly tornadoes and baseball-sized hail. A HAARP-induced tornado Sunday night in Joplin, Missouri killed at least 116 people and destroyed large swathes of the 50,000-person city.

More artificially-created, unnatural disasters are to be expected. Don't blame Mother Nature or global warming on these ones. This is man-made and orchestrated.

- Last spring, the major, gut-wrenching disaster was the oil/Corexit/synthetic micro-organism horror show in the Gulf of Mexico.

This spring, it's Fukushima. (Both events are under media blackout.) The most recent readings released to the public show radiation releases from Reactor 1 shot up from 45 sieverts per hour to over 200 sieverts per hour on May 22/23. For perspective as far as how much radiation this is: an exposure of six sieverts per hour results in almost immediate human death. With a timeline of nine months until containment (as if anyone could really pinpoint it), the entire northern hemisphere is at risk for contamination by radioactive fallout - all while the government and media tells us next to nothing. Almost 5,000 Japanese nuclear power plant workers have been found to be suffering from internal radiation exposure after inhaling radioactive materials near the disaster site.

- In April of last year, a volcanic eruption in Iceland spread ash across northern Europe, stranding 10 million air travellers.

This May 22, just after Family Radio's "Rapture Weekend," another volcano blew in Iceland, kicking up similar clouds of ash and causing more air traffic problems.

- Last summer, the G8 and G20 meetings took place June 26-27 under a cardinal t-square/energetic Grand Cross as well as a wickedly potent Capricorn Full Moon lunar eclipse exactly conjunct Pluto at 4 degrees. The meetings took place with Uranus on the zero degree of Aries, moving into its long-term square position to Pluto in Capricorn, and planning for the Uranus-Pluto square series was laid out.

This summer, NATO is involved in a brand new war against Libya, headed by Canadian General Charles Bouchard. The initial attack was scheduled to begin on the vernal equinox 2011 as Uranus re-entered the zero degree of Aries. (The invasion of Iraq was scheduled to begin on the vernal equinox 2003 as Uranus ingressed Pisces.) NATO warplanes have been bombing Libya since then with the heaviest shelling to date happening this morning. Three people are dead and at least 150 injured, many gravely.
