As our country commemorates the 8th anniversary of the darkness that was 9/11, Pluto, himself the prince of darkness, goes direct in Capricorn. During a week that saw President Obama heckled during a congressional address, the gap between reality and insanity grows ever wider. Glenn Beck’s “grassroots” 9/12 movement, actually sponsored by lobbyists, is populated by radical right-wing elements that embrace neo-Nazi politics. We will see these people take to the streets on Saturday, September 12th, in what Bill Maher calls the “Million Moron March”. We can sit back and laugh at their ignorance, or we can stand up and face them. Under the influence of Pluto in Capricorn, we are dealing with a meme called “revolution”. The people who don’t believe that Barack Obama is legitimately our president are attempting an overthrow. Watch them wave their guns through the air, listen to them throw the word “fascism” around without understanding what it means, and hear then use the term “socialism” to describe something not even close to a system of shared wealth. It’s just another slur for Obama these days. These people are quite dumb, but an army of dummies is still an army.
The strain of this movement worthy of our greatest fears is the bit that was born of the doctrine of John C. Calhoun, the father of the secessionist movement that ignited the Civil War. In 1832, when Calhoun declared that Congress couldn’t restrict slavery in the territories, Pluto was in Aries, squaring the chart of the American Revolution. Now that it’s in Capricorn, these dark energies are being stirred once again. It’s called “Calhoun Conservatism” and it’s something we cannot ignore. The birthers, the deathers and all that have been beating the drum for Obama’s downfall are all racists; that is what drives them. Health care has nothing to do with it. Some are open racists, and many of those types will be on parade at the 9/12 march. Some may not even know they are racists, because fear of their own shadow is what drives them. They will stop at nothing to destroy not just Obama, but all of us that believe in social justice, equality, and compassion for the huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
And the corporate media is finally catching up with what many bloggers have been talking about for a very long time.
