Another scandal? Surely not....

as the New Moon forms tomorrow around 25 degrees of Leo...

wait for it
wait for it

when the Sun finally gets to 0 degrees of VIRGO, it will trigger the scandal hitting Neptune across the zodiac
at early Pisces. Count on it, around Wednesday at 1:30pm Eastern

A GREAT TIME FOR MITT TO SHOW HIS PAST RETURNS, eh?

Neptune is one of the major voices of the Collective

predict concrete outcomes. But, a scandal nevertheless is coming his way and I believe it's really big.

Supposedly a file with information that would be very dangerous to... well, I don't know, a big disclosure. We speculated if was something that would take down a number of powerful people, like 'who killed JFK' or something. It was alleged in some papers that the UK was going to enter and take him out of the Ecuadorian embassy last night but it has not happened as reported.

The release of Romney's tax forms might reveal who he will be selling the USA out to if elected. I'm talking land, resources, etc. He has money kept in every contintent except Antartica and some islands. Part of his money making schemes are said to have profited those who ran the death squads in Central America.

That might be a very dramatic disclosure. Ryan just had some things disclosed, monies he'd hel back. With Citizens United still in place, we are having a lot of trouble getting records of who is paying for what, but we know the Koch family is behind an awful lot of what is going on and has been going on for a long time.

Since it's now Thursday and the OP says on Wednesday, I'm guessing you mean next week. We'll see. I've found some things to have matched some astrology. Trends and cycles.

Edit: The word 'he' in the title line refers to Wikileaks' Julian Assange.

I just wish it would rid us of this gang that's been ruining the Earth since JFK, MLK and RFK were murdered. Some people say that was the end of everything, and Nixon despite what people try to say good about him, was a destroyer.

EFerrari's old sig line said, 'America - giving liberals the third finger for ___ years.' Writing '___' because I forgot the number.

The cause of social justice and love for all life took a back seat these criminals, and they've been working on the demise of the New Deal and setting up a fascist theocracy ever since.

'Gotta give the devil his due,' they have been successful. It's been a nightmare.

Fri Aug 17, 2012, 07:39 AM

Romney will not release them. Ryan probably cheated on his (he "forgot" about a $1-5M trust inherited in 2010 on election forms filed between 2010 and 2012. How do you "forget" a brand new trust? I expect he also "forgot" them on his tax returns.)

More likely, though, Assange. They are so terrified of Assange and his poison pill it is stunning. What in the hell does he have on them? The scope of crimes they are hiding must be enormous. Everything else he's released has had global implications. That the UK and even Sweden are playing along suggest this is global as well...

I know one thing, I'm not used to seeing Senator Reed grab and hang on to some big unproven bit of mystery information like he has with Romney's tax returns. My guess is that good ol' Harry, and the President, know EXACTLY what is in those returns. The pressure in on Romney too, and all he can do is sit back and whine, but not release anything. Hmmmmmm. He could score so many points by just releasing a few more returns, so why act like this about "rumors"?



I've been wondering what the campaigns' internal polling is showing too. I know one thing, the Rethuglican PACs are advertising hot and heavy in Central Kentucky. I could understand if it were Northern KY, where they were after people in Southern Ohio, but Central Kentucky is pretty much isolated to Kentuckians, who seemingly would vote for Obama about the time the Winter Olympics took place in Hell. Unless they buy these pieces of shit cable-wide or something (which seems terribly inefficient).

Confirming, under oath and in print what we already suspected: there is no schedule of mortgage loans evidencing what JPM allegedly “purchased” from the FDIC in connection with the failure of WaMu. This is from the sworn deposition testimony of Lawrence Nardi, the operations unit manager and a mortgage officer for JPM, who was previously with WaMu and was picked up by JPM after WaMu’s failure. The 330 page deposition was taken by counsel for the homeowner on May 9, 2012 in the matter of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as successor in interest to Washington Mutual Bank v. Waisome, Florida 5th Judicial Circuit Case No. 2009-CA-005717.

Here is the question and the answer:

50. My take on this scandal...
Thu Aug 23, 2012, 08:23 AM
Aug 2012

The blabbermouth (Akin) was the veil snatched
from the narrow, anti-women, anti-people, racist,
idealogical, capitalistic identity that is the current republican
party. It has hidden behind its former incarnation of
'big tent party' but can no longer.

The painful truth is that Romney is the essence of the
manchurian candidate: a strawman representing the dark
interests of the plutocrats who are using and abusing the
simple view of the christianists. Ryan doesn't realize that he
too is a tool, he's already cowering behind Romney
("He's the candidate, I'm just the water boy..&quot

This is going to get nastier and dirtier;
they are using all the ammo to get thru this shit storm
and won't have any gusto for the general campaign in the fall.

Make some popcorn, stay out of the way of the flying shrapnel,
and make sure that you and yours vote.

We're only in the first throes of the battle.

Thu Aug 23, 2012, 08:33 AM
Aug 2012

He posted on his FB account that even though he was conservative, there was no way that he was anti-woman like they are trying to make their agenda. He said he has a sister, a Mom, and 4 daughters of his own and he cannot believe that they had the gall to go there.

It was the only post that this guy ever wrote that I "liked" and replied to. I thanked him for posting his viewpoint and told him that I hoped other conservatives would feel the same. I'm not sure he would go as far to vote for Obama, but I have noted a change in my conservative friends. Most have been silent, which is unusual in itself. Maybe something is yet to happen that will push them to open their eyes and acknowledge the crazy that has poisoned their party.

with questions from r-wing family members, friends, co-workers about why I supported Obama and the Democratic Party. After President O. was inaugurated, the rhetoric died down somewhat. I did get one question a few months ago about the marriage equality vs. christianity issue. Ever since Rmoney became the presumptive nominee for the GOP, there has been NADA, zip, no discussion. It's like people are clamming-up. Even the big Faux news supporters in the break-room are not talking about politics. I think they don't like Rmoney and are afraid to say anything about it. My biggest wish is that they would all stay home on election day. Why don't we do a group focus/meditation on that--just visualize all of them staying home!

so, there is no way to "will all this finally bring us some of the reforms"

It is up to us and the delicate balance of the two violent forces (Uranus square Pluto)
All we can do is keep loving everyone and all

it's all of us
or

it's none of us

Neptune is merely STRIPPING AWAY WHAT ISN'T real, that's why the Reps are naked and runnning scared
we Dems may be weaker and slower and non-confrontational but they are full of cancer (disease) and falling apart.
The prob is they know how to manipulate the USA (Cancer sign) out of fear. A Cancer entity such as the USA cares
not WHAT THE FACTS ARE, they simply believe that the Reps are tougher, louder, stronger, willing to do anything
and to them that translates into "being taken care of". That's what Cancer's need: "emotional safety".

Of course, in REALITY, they're NOT safe, but Cancer is not a rational sign. It's how they FEEL. And they FEEL
SAFE with a "strong repo" in control.

My thoughts anyway...

Apparently Mitt Romney has just said in a speech in Michigan that no one ever asked to see HIS birth certificate, they know where he was born.

He went there. He is willing to throw himself in the same swiftboat as the birthers, he has sunk to that low. He has complained about personal attacks then tries to attract the most insane crowd on the right.

I think it's possible, that if this is covered by MSM, that his shreds of credibility will be blown away by this worse than his convention by a hurricane.

He was always clean, but got tired of the constant legal battle against him so he gave it up -- not worth the headache.

It should also be noted that it's only the US authorities that are trying to strip Lance of his titles and achievements! The two international cyclist boards still recognize him as the reigning champion, and are trying to work with the US board to get them to stop the petty power play.

I think the real scandal here is someone having a personal agenda against Armstrong -- he was just too damn good at what he did.

I've felt all along the Repugs were going to pull another fast one. Now w/Hurricane Issac approaching they are opening the convention but then "suspending it" until probably Tuesday.

There are quite a few long-time & powerful Repugs who are not in attendance.....specifically the BFEE (except Jeb) & Cheney. Others are Palin, John Huntsman, and Ron Paul.

Ron Paul supporters are very upset over his treatment, even tho his son is scheduled to speak.

Just feel something BIG is going to happen, why would the latest Repug Presidents & VP not be there, that is suspicious to me. Especially since Cheney has his new heart & all.

"Prosecutors believe that Alliegro may be involved in shadow campaign, in which Justin Lamar Sternad ran as a Democrat “ringer” in the 26th District primary in order to help defeat fellow Democrat Joe Garcia. Authorities are probing Rivera, the Republican incumbent, to find out if he was behind the scheme as effort to weaken or defeat Garcia before they faced off in the general election.

Campaign sources and finance records indicated that Rivera may have funneled $46,000 in secret money to Sternad’s campaign — often in cash-filled envelopes. Both Rivera and Sternad have denied working together. "

I thought Bush was doing the same, but people still voted for him. I think Mittens is much worse than Bush. He can't even campaign in accordance with his handlers.

I realize this is wishful thinking, but I think he may well be doing a soul thing -- meanwhile being clueless on a conscious level.

If I were the suspicious type (and I am) I would maybe start thinking that ol' Willard's make up artist oranged him out on purpose. He likely asked to be made to look "a little darker" and the person doing his make up, realizing what a douche canoe she had in her chair, decided to Oompa Loompa him but good.

Either that or he really does only have sand in that enormous noggin of his and thought this color made him look "more Spanish".

You know, all those who don't "do" politics and get all offended and agitated when anyone dares discuss it rather than the latest "Housewives" episode or whatnot.



What The Republican Party has been exposing so clearly in the last four years, and with great clarity in these last few weeks via Mitt Romney and others, is a MINDSET, a WORLDVIEW.

One in which there is no faith in or respect for fellow human beings.

It's how we treat one another that is at the heart of these opposing views. Their view of other human beings is awfully ugly, and this quote seems to give one possible reason as to why they feel this way:

World view is right, a hardened world view where even what people consider "faith" and "love" are hardened and cruel. I've been having a FB debate with the same friend again over choice. The cruelty implicit in her "faith" is astounding. The fact that people of faith have been taking from a world view more of charity to one of obey or die is horrifying, and they don't even see that YET!

I have felt since Romney was nominated that he was the manifestation of the right. He embodies all the most foul elements in one human being, he is in every way their standard bearer. They have brought him about because he is just a reflection of what they have come to be whether they know it or not.

The wonderful thing is, some disinterested Americans are waking up because of Rmoney's wooden, narcissistic portrayal of a human. Those of us who pay attention to politics have identified the sociopaths for years. And we've watched as they've taken over the debate, the media, the process.

But the apathetic insisted we were just idealistic hippies or communists or malcontents. As we watched more and more sociopathic "leaders" seize power. They kept telling us we were crazy, when we were saying, "No! The Republicans are crazy!"

And you'd have to be a crazy man to want to hurt women the way Akin and others want to do. What man who loves his sister or his wife or his daughter wants to hurt women for his own gain? Only a sociopathic one! What man who wants to lead this country would insult half the country when he himself put many of them into the very conditions - unemployed, living on government assistance - that he insults? A sociopath!

Who yells at chairs? Who LYNCHES chairs ( see juanitajean.com ) ? Who thinks CEOs and politicians should have the BEST health care, pensions, pay, bonus and vacation packages, while believing at the same time that the hard workers of America should be paid a pittance for their work and have NO healthcare, NO vacation, NO sick time, NO living wage, and NO help from the government? When that same government is bending over backwards to subsidize and HELP the Home Depots, the Exxons, The General Electrics, and the guys like Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan?

It's like they are the snake eating its tail at this point. And as they spin, that lightbulb is clicking on in many people watching the spin.

It's a wonderful thing, and a scandal to be sure as to the OP; the wonder in watching realization dawn on those we love and the scandal in its taking so damn long.

135. I agree, and that "14%" was manipulated, and as of yet we haven't seen full disclosure.

Why would that be? It really is revealing that he cannot possibly give full disclosure, and the crazy supporters buy this brand of BS?
That's even scarier.

That's the amnesty year for illegal Swiss bank accounts, when tax felons could own up to the accounts and pay all back taxes, interest and penalties in exchange for not going to jail.

Abject greed has become so common place, he might not have received too much grief if he hadn't insulted low wage earners and disabled people and retired people and veterans, calling them "moochers."

How can someone have as much as Rmoney has and be jealous that a poor retiree has a pittance of an SS payment every month? And that the crazy believers can't see through Rmoney's hatred of them, and his love of $$$$$$$$ over country, IS scary as hell!

143. A great book about this sort of "Republicanism" was written a few years ago

John Dean's "Conservatives Without Conscious" absolutely lays out how the Republican Party has become what it is now, which is a bunch of greedy extremists who have, IMO, literally manifested Romney as their ultimate standard-bearer.

It does come down to us examining ourselves as a group, trying on different things to see what we like and what we do not, and it appears that we're becoming tired of this particular costume in ourselves and others. FINALLY. In rejecting it, watch and work for the development of Brotherly Love, caring, charity, unity, etc.
