We’ve warned during the last few years of a new form of fascism on the rise in the USA. Not the fake fascism touted by the tea-bagger movement, but the kind that merges corporate interests with human interests. The kind that Naomi Wolf talks about in her book The End of America. Since Capricorn holds dominion over corporations, and Pluto is the force that rolls over us like a WWII era tank of destruction, the years between 2008 and 2023 are already turning out to be much more than “interesting times”.

The Supreme Court’s recent decision on the Citizens United case essentially gives corporations the rights of human beings, and will subsequently make our elections into bigger shams than they are already. Cue the lobbyists rolling around on mattresses covered in one-hundred dollar bills. They might as well.

For a concise, intense, and apt analysis of the Pluto in Capricorn era, watch Keith Olbermann’s incisive special comment on yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling.

In the coming years we will fully comprehend the meaning of the phrase, “Money is the root of all evil”. Pluto will eviscerate the Second House (ruling money) of the USA, and when it’s over, we will not recognize ourselves. We must hope that our new knowledge will change us for the better, and hope that our time in the crucible isn’t too painful.
