New Zine: Cell Tower and 5G Wireless Dangers

 

This 40-page pocket-sized zine is chock full of information, studies, news articles, and stories about cell tower and 5G dangers.

Did you know that many peer-reviewed studies going back 20+ years show an increased incidence of cancer, cognitive problems, radiation illness, and other ailments when people live within 500 metres of a cell tower? The deadly 5G wireless rollout densely packs cell towers, base stations, and repeaters all throughout our cities and towns. This makes it difficult or even impossible for people to avoid dangerous involuntary wireless exposures.

It's important to understand that these cell tower distance studies were conducted on 2G, 3G, and 4G towers. 5G radiation is much more intense than previous technologies, and 5G technology exposes us to many more pulsed frequencies than we have ever been exposed to before. It is harmful to all biological life - human, animal, and plant.

5G wireless is the technological infrastructure that supports "Smart Cities," "Smart Farms," widespread surveillance, artificial intelligence, and the automation and elimination of hundreds of millions of jobs worldwide. 

I'm happy to instruct people on how to produce this zine for themselves, if anyone is interested in this DIY publishing effort.

5G Kills! Ban 5G Worldwide.

How to Spot Controlled Opposition: Hype and Sensationalism

 

 This has been my most popular zine lately.

 I think that's a good sign. 

As more people start to become aware of the heinous psychological operative and orchestrated global scheme that have been underway for almost two years now, we can expect the power establishment to get its 'big guns' out as far as controlled opposition. Controlled opposition elements could be permeating more of the public discourse in 2022, while also becoming more complex, more embedded, and more difficult to separate out from the true resistance. Things become more confusing as people are unsure whom to trust.

This zine talks about some of the ways to sniff out controlled opposition agents and groups (ie. rats) so as to protect your mental and psychic space, as well as the energy and effectiveness of the real resistance.

Here, I would like to highlight one of the telltale signs of controlled opposition: hype and sensationalism.

Controlled opposition often re-packages what we already know, what others have already said, and what the true resistance has already established, but this re-packaged (and usually, highly sensationalized) version goes viral or gets extreme play when it is released by the controlled opposition agent or group. This creates the illusion that the controlled opposition agent or group is the source or the fount of the information or perspective, and this illusion then leads people into a Figurehead-Follower dynamic. In this Figurehead-Follower dynamic, people look to controlled opposition to tell them what to think and what to do. People will often wait for the controlled opposition agent or group to take action so they don't have to. (Surprise, surprise - effective action never comes.)

One thing to remember is this: the work of "exposing the power scheme rot" does not make a person famous. Millions of people are doing this work all around the world, and this has been the case throughout much of human history. 

If you can recognize the fake "hype energy" associated with some of the most prominent controlled opposition, instead of being fooled by its charismatic and glamourous outpourings, you can reject this poisoned energy before it gets its meat hooks into you.

This is not to say that controlled opposition will always have hype or sensationalism associated with it. As stated, as the real resistance gets stronger and more vocal, the establishment will pull out all its tricks, which involve sensationalism and diversionary hype as well as a quieter and more embedded version of controlled opposition. Think: controlled opposition agents being paid to comment on and monitor social media groups, for example.  

I wrote the article and made this zine in 2019 when Jupiter in Sagittarius was in a square aspect to Neptune in Pisces. 

Jupiter is now in Pisces and will form a conjunction to Neptune at 23 degrees Pisces on April 12, 2022. This will be followed by Venus conjunct Jupiter in Pisces (the Conjunction of the Benefics) on April 30, 2022 at 27 degrees Pisces. The Venus-Jupiter conjunction will also occur in close conjunction to Neptune in Pisces.

On the one hand, this extreme Pisces energy indicates a surge of illusions, delusions, and controlled opposition fakery. New threads and new narratives being floated. Heightened public confusion. Psychic fatigue that causes mistakes in judgement. Stronger than usual impressionability and willingness to be led by others. Smokescreens. Diversions. Bold-faced lies. A general dissipation of energy and focus.  

On the other hand, the influence of this Venus-Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in Pisces indicates that we can identify and reject controlled opposition and its pathetic little agents with a little help from our friends. We can join together to batten down the hatches ahead of time. Forewarned with this information is forearmed. Under these astrological influences, we can take back our psychic space and enforce spiritual principles and spiritual law as an antidote to the scams and schemes being played out on humanity. 

As always, this is some good punk advice, but these days, it's good advice for everyone:

A Re-Activation of the Jupiter-Neptune Square Themes - How to Spot Controlled Opposition: Reclaiming the Energy, Passion, & Effectiveness of the Resistance

How to Spot Controlled Opposition: Reclaiming the Energy, Passion, & Effectiveness of the Resistance
 
 
 
This article (after the break) on How to Spot Controlled Opposition was first posted on the blog on November 18, 2019, and it has now been compiled into a zine, available at Etsy.

I wrote this guide when Jupiter was in Sagittarius (truth, dogma) forming a series of three square aspects to Neptune in Pisces (illusions, fog, deception). The Jupiter-Neptune square was strongly in effect from late November 2018 to mid-November 2019 and indicated a primary theme of determining what is real and true from what is illusory and deceptive. 
 
As written about in a previous article, we are now experiencing a re-activation of the themes of the Jupiter-Neptune square with transiting Neptune in Pisces in square aspects to the nodal axis as we close out 2020 and begin 2021. These squares will be exact January 26, 2021. 
 
Tricky and karmically-loaded "truth versus deception" themes are particularly indicated by the square between Neptune in Pisces and the South Node of the Moon in Sagittarius. We're addressing manipulation of truth, knowledge, public education, medicine, religion, and spiritual wisdom that has been going on for millennia. We're addressing the ways in which humanity has been blinded and fooled for generations, and this often has an esoteric, sinister occult, or pseudo-spiritual element.
 
Neptune in Pisces square the Gemini North Node and Sagittarius South Node indicates truth and perspectives that have been kept invisible within the broader discourse - which perspectives are acceptable and which perspectives are kept out. Truth and perspectives that are mocked, vilified, or attacked. What people believe and how this has been shaped, manufactured, or manipulated by forces that are deceitful or less than fully honest, including mass media.
 
These themes will be further intensified, potentially dramatically, throughout the month of December as the Sun, Mercury, and then Venus transit Sagittarius, forming conjunctions to the South Node and squares to Neptune in Pisces. The Sun makes these aspects on December 9 and 10; Mercury on December 13 and 14; and Venus on December 30 and 31.

New Zine: Mercury-Black Moon Lilith Contacts, Censorship, and Reporting From the Fringes

The 4-degree Sagittarius New Moon this morning (7:05 a.m. PST) indicates a lunar month that provides new openings for truth! (I sure hope so.)

The New Moon occurred in a conjunction to female warrior asteroid Pallas Athene, and this particularly indicates an unfolding of events related to the ongoing strategic battle (Pallas Athene) to get the truth out (Sagittarius).

In light of this astrological context, I'm happy to release into the world a new Willow's Web Astrology zine. Fitting for the Jupiter-influenced lunar month, this is the biggest zine I've ever produced at a whopping 48 pages.

What happens when you repeatedly have your perspective pushed out of the collective discourse?

What do you do when the information you're laying down keeps getting censored and rejected?

Why, you write a zine about it, of course!

"Mercury-Black Moon Lilith Contacts, Censorship, and Reporting from the Fringes" is a 48-page zine that outlines a history of being censored throughout my career as a journalist, writer, and artist in both mainstream and alternative circles. 

This zine is an illustrative tale that shows an ongoing filtering of media and art to produce a very cleansed and skewed version of reality with no risk of anyone ever being disturbed or offended (despite the highly-disturbing and offensive matters going on daily on this planet).

I connect the censorship experiences to a hard Mercury-Black Moon Lilith aspect in the natal chart, although you do not need to know anything about astrology to read this zine.

Included in this zine is reporting and photo-journalism from the Free Trade Area of the Americas protest in Quebec City in 2001.

This zine is $6 plus postage, and it can be found at the Willow's Web Astrology Etsy shop.

Dystopian Flames Zine in the Mount Royal University Zine Collection

Dystopian Flames: The True Cost of Oil Production on the Canadian Prairies zine is now available in the Mount Royal University zine collection in Calgary, Alberta. 

A man from the university found the zine online and purchased two copies for the collection. 

I lived in Calgary for six years, which they call "the city that oil built," so to have this zine in a university zine collection in that city is a bit of a coup. Very cool and unexpected! I'm happy to spread the word about this terribly dangerous and toxic practise, going on in my home area of Saskatchewan and all over the prairies. This is certainly a practise that needs to come to a swift end before more people, animals, and environments are harmed.




Dystopian Flames was a companion zine, written in early 2019, for a photography exhibit I did at my local library.

Mercury-Black Moon Lilith Contacts, Censorship, and Reporting From the Fringes

Media and communication planet Mercury forms an exterior conjunction to the Sun in Aquarius today (6:52 p.m. PST) at 9 degrees. 

These bodies continue travelling in conjunction until Mercury enters Pisces on February 10. The Sun and Mercury are also forming conjunctions to Black Moon Lilith (BML), the point of deep, dark, denied feminine experience. 

This indicates that the Sun is shining its light on outsider (BML) information (Mercury) and on those who write, speak, and share that information. 

Reporting from the fringes!

Mercury-Black Moon Lilith contacts can indicate perspectives that are inflammatory or disturbing to a more mainstream or establishment mindset (even pseudo-alternative varieties), and these outsider perspectives can sometimes create hostile backlash for the marginalized messengers. 

There's some bounce-back, some rejection, some ejection, some circling of the wagons associated with Black Moon Lilith, and when winged messenger Mercury is involved, this particularly relates to information, ideas, and communication. 

As a person with a prominent Mercury-Black Moon Lilith contact in the natal chart, I'm offering up an illustrative tale here from my 20-year experience as a writer and reporter who has always, through no intention of my own, had a very hard time getting my work included in the public discourse - both mainstream and alternative versions.

Before I became the ass-kicking anarchist astro-reporter whose words you are reading here today (heh), I briefly worked in mainstream media.  I have an undergraduate degree in journalism and communications from the University of Regina, Saskatchewan. But even way back in journalism school, the BML writing was on the wall. 

I came to understand quite quickly that the media outlets as they existed would not allow me to do the work I needed to do. I knew they wouldn't accept my perspective or the perspectives of people like me as fully legitimate, as deserving of a voice and a real place at the table.

Dystopian Flames

"Dystopian Flames"
Photos: Willow

This five-photograph grouping, along with a supplementary 'zine, is available at the Willow's Web Astrology Etsy shop.

All photographs in this article are part of a photography exhibit I'm doing at a local library.

You can also see a YouTube video on this exhibit.


Planet of concrete challenges, Saturn, is within orb of a conjunction to Hell-ruler Pluto throughout 2019. As this conjunction tightens, becoming exact a single time on January 12, 2020, we are confronted in our concrete lives and realities with all that has been suppressed, manipulated, lied about, and buried (Pluto) within business, corporations, finance, government, and institutions (Capricorn). Things are coming to a head on multiple fronts throughout 2019 and 2020 under the slow-burn effects of this Saturn-Pluto conjunction, and the toxicity and violence inherent in many of the structures and hierarchical pyramid-schemes of power on Planet Earth cannot be denied. 

Saturn relates to what is real, what is concrete, what is tangible, and as it steps further into the murky, netherworld regions of Pluto, we are faced with real, concrete, and tangible confrontations with some of the hellish scenarios that have been manufactured for us on this planet. These confrontations will require some type of effort on our parts in order to liberate ourselves from their weight. 

Whatever Plutonic threads are being plucked in your life, I encourage you to follow them to their roots and address them, working toward concrete solutions both in your own personal life and within human society at large. The personal is transpersonal and vice versa.

Saturn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn requires that we work, step-by-step, for our liberation from the many manufactured and manipulated Hell-scenarios currently running amok. It requires that we demand something better, something more honest, something wholly legitimate, and that we do so from right where we stand.

Our efforts toward liberation from the muck and the murk are not futile (far from it!), despite what we may have been conditioned to think...

Saturn Inches Forward in Publishing-Related Sagittarius

As Saturn (consolidation, concrete efforts) inches forward in publishing-related Sagittarius, I have a few interesting things to report.

First, the wonderful Jeremiah Moss, author of the fabulous Jeremiah's Vanishing New York blog, now has a book out titled, "Vanishing New York: How a Great City Lost its Soul." You can check it out online here, but it is being widely distributed and sold, so check your local book shops. (Jeremiah would encourage local, independent book shop patronage!)

For the past ten years, Jeremiah has chronicled the horrifying gentrification of the Lower East Side of New York City, in particular the doubling and tripling of rents on retail spaces to make room for stores, restaurants, and pubs directed toward the rich and trendy. This practise has put hundreds (thousands?) of much-loved and much-patronized small businesses out of business or forced them to move out of their neighbourhoods. This practise has changed the entire landscape of New York City (not just in the Lower East Side), removing a lot of the heart and soul and quirky independence by which it was once characterized.

Jeremiah lovingly documents the vanishing businesses of the Lower East Side - that so many people patronize and love - before they disappear. And I love him for it!

(Aside: I also love Jeremiah's Vanishing New York blog because it's still a blogspot. Blogspots represent!)

The hyper-gentrification Jeremiah has so heartbreakingly and painstakingly chronicled in New York City for the past 10 years is a ubiquitous Pluto in Capricorn-era theme, displacing people from homes and businesses around the globe.

It's the abusive and coercive power of all mighty fiat currency  - a type of phony and corrupted power too often worshiped on Planet Earth and never so blatantly as during the Pluto in Capricorn years (2008 - 2024).

Entire cities are being re-made as playgrounds for the rich and trendy, driving rents and real estate prices up to the point that lower income people are forced out. Make no mistake about it - it's socioeconomic cleansing, a fundamental characteristic of the Pluto in Capricorn agenda.

My own beloved Art of My Heart store (seen to the left in its second - and more orderly - incarnation on the ground floor of the mall) was gentrified out of the TD Square Mall in Calgary, Alberta in 2009. This beautiful, soulful, independent, and utterly unique store was pushed out by the Pluto in Capricorn steamroller to make way for such thrilling and unique high-end chain stores as Brooks Brothers. 

The end of Art of My Heart broke my own heart into a million pieces and threw my life into a state of chaos. At the same time, I knew that what happened there was going on all over the place. The owner and I were far from alone in our unceremonious displacement. 

This article is from May 23, 2009, at the point when I realized Art of My Heart was dead and that it wouldn't be resurrecting in a new location due to sky-high rents all over the city. The article is full of grief and rage and Plutonic horror, and it's bang-on as far as what was going on (and is still going on) and what it was doing to the people involved.

"R.I.P. Art of My Heart":

"I'm just waiting. Inside the fortress that is me. The only place that feels good.

I'm waiting for this wave of hyper-gentrification to run out of steam, so that I can properly assess the situation. At the moment, even walking down the street feels like a blast from an overexposed dystopic imagery furnace. Fake light and happy, grinding its pointy high heel into my eye. A nouveau rich nightmare. Teenagers in brand new, sickeningly overpriced clothes designed to look "lived in." Street-tastic! Carrying Chanel purses (yes, high schoolers with Chanel), cell phones and iced coffees.

They look straight out of the pages of InStyle (Star/People/US Weekly) magazine, so I can see why they feel entitled. That takes a lot of effort. 

Mount Royal Starbucks where you'll get the snobby once-over just for going in to get a take-out coffee. They can sniff out non-upper-mid-class-yuppie status.

 It's a fucking wasteland. Sorry, but it is. 

The so-called alternative crowd drinking overpriced beer, eating overpriced breakfasts in pseudo-retro diners, sitting around in carefully chosen "styles" being all alternative and shit. Talking about how to market their band. Hoping to be noticed, to get famous. Even the indy crowd in this town has this marketing veneer lacquered over everything. 

No one just living their lives. It's all an agenda. Gotta be someone. Gotta get somewhere. Gotta play the game. 

Calgary, Alberta. Schlepping phony Western Canadiana for kicks, but the mean, mean underlying vibe is always there. Vicious millionaires bulldozing soulful establishments and people's livelihoods in favour of clean, cleansed luxury for its clean, cleansed luxury-deserving patrons. A city run by and for young souls. You can throw in a few newly-minted mature souls just to give it that fake "artsy/cultured" thing. Garbage. Trying to lure the people who don't know any better into dropping their money on overpriced drinks and food, clothing and accessories. Paying for fake experiences with fake money.

The downtown mall has kicked all the real stores out in favour of luxurification plans handed down by Torontonian property management overlords.

Brooks Brothers is coming to town! How thrilling. 

Spaces are empty all over town. All over the country. All over the world. Bulldozed livelihoods. Lost our lease. Lost our lease. We're closing shop. And in a way, the independents are relieved. Because trying to keep your head above water in this increasingly corporatized climate is bloody exhausting. They tighten the vice little by little. Priced out. Squeezed out. And when the death of the business finally comes, it's accepted with a sigh. 

And so I wait for the bulldozer to run out of gas. Or to at least take a fucking coffee break. 

I can see it starting. "Luxury" stores aren't lining up to fill those empty spaces. The spots are sitting empty. Stalled monster condo projects all over town. Massive, gaping holes left in the ground with fences all around. They got ahead of themselves, trying to build on phony foundations.

And here I sit. I'm not sure what things are going to look like or if there will ever be a place I can stand being in again. 

Art of My Heart is dead. And every fucking brainless weasel in this town can go to hell."

My little beading zone at the second incarnation of Art of My Heart, TD Square Mall, downtown Calgary, Alberta

The funny thing was that after the richy-rich gentrification of much of Calgary, the oil bust came along! They poured millions into renovating the TD Square mall, putting in fancy sky lights, and booting all the independent retailers in favour of high end chains. And then people couldn't afford to shop there anymore!

From what I hear, downtown Calgary has been pretty much a ghost town for the past number of years - compared to the oil boom days, anyway. That city really could have used the oasis of soul that Art of My Heart provided. They blew it!

Second of my publishing-related announcements: my recent article on Leslie Demeniuk and pharmaceuticals-caused violent crime has been published in the Ripe with Rage zine out of Nashville, Tennessee. You can check the 80-page zine out here. This is the second issue of the Ripe with Rage zine and has a theme of Asylum.  

My own self-published zines are also available in some interesting places at the moment. They can be found at Spartacus Books in Vancouver, B.C., at Camas Books in Victoria, B.C., or at the University of Victoria Zine Library. 

I have to say, I'm most excited about the zine library. When my own local library accepted Hexagon Astrology Magazine onto its shelves, I had a little 'squee' of delight, and when I noticed that someone had actually checked it out, that 'squee' was magnified even further.  

 WWA zines

My own zines are also available online through this blog or through my Etsy shop. 

My efforts will continue to be focused on writing articles for the blog and for WWA patrons, but it's nice to have a physical medium to work with like zines. They create some cross-pollination and get the writing to people who may not come across it otherwise.
