Kristi Noem Getting Grilled During This Lunar Eclipse Ruled By Mercury Retrograde Provided Some Catharsis
Recap
Of course we had another ridiculious time navigating the fire hose of news this week which included Trump deciding it might be fun to poke the bear and toy with the idea of starting WWIII by bombing Iran…again. Remember, the last time he did this was only last year! This happened right on the heels of the planet Mars squaring the planet Uranus. So the astrology was once again, horrifically accurate. I also hope you remember that Trump said he “obliterated” Irans’ nuclear facility the first time.
Not too sure if Trump understands the use of the word “obliterate” but the Miriam Webster definition is:
“To remove utterly from recognition or memory” or
“to remove from existence : destroy utterly all trace, indication, or significance of”.
Let’s give him the benifit of the doubt and say he was going for the 3rd definition here
3. “to make undecipherable or imperceptible by obscuring or wearing away”. A HA! That must be it. He just obscured it a little bit the first time, so he had to go in and “utterly destroy” it this time, so the second definition then. Oooookay I get it now.
For those who don’t understand how this current bombing campaign could lead to WWIII, we need to remember that World War simply means war between countries that are trying constantly to control everything and every one.
The long and short of this is as follows, that Iran has a cordial relationship with both Russia and China. Israel is getting increasingly belligerent and unhinged, as are we if you haven’t noticed. Insert potential for World War.
My advice if you are looking for it:
practice detachment and meditate in the eye of the storm.
For most of us, meditation has nothing to do with a calm still place that is silent, filled with incense, and serene. That is not why we practice.
The practice is so that we can cultivate stillness inside ourselves through daily and consistent practice, however big or small.
It is not a consumer practice, you don’t need to buy all the accouterments. You just need to reflect on the internal sensations…eyes open or closed…chaos outside or inside…not a problem.
Even if you get a minute of noticing, that is enough.
Wine mom’s and newly “enlightened” Karens do not have a monopoly on this ya’ll and don’t let them t(s)ell you any different!
Today, the 3rd of March, we have a lunar eclipse in the sign of Virgo
Virgo is an earth sign that is concerned with accuracy and detail. The sign is also ruled by Mercury and how convenient that Mercury went retrograde on the 26th of February and will be retrograde until the 21st of March. We usually feel eclipses building up for a few weeks before and after the exact hit and the Mercury retrograde is similar so this is an intense time.
Instead of looking for clarity, strive for review of sticky spots in communication and thought patterns in the past. Get into the details on it. However, try not to let yourself spiral too hard as the eclipse in Virgo may want to take those thoughts into a pattern of self blame that is not beneficial for you or anyone else.
from PSL newspaper
A Win is a Win!
Locally in San Francisco, educators had some historic wins just as Saturn moved into the sign of Aries on February 13th. Saturn represents structure and order and is not very comfortable in the fast moving sign of Aries. The last time San Francisco teachers had a strike was in 1979! This time they managed to win:
Case load reductions for special education students, so they can actually teach them and not just hold large numbers of them in a room for multiple hours a day.
Legally binding sanctuary schools delineations.
Emergency housing protections for students to rectify the fact that the ultra rich continue to try and make the city a playground for them while increasing numbers of students are unhoused.
The old guard structures of the city that are supporting tech and unchecked capitol (Saturn) were being put to the test and this is an example of how the energies of a transit don’t discriminate. One person’s “bad thing” in this case, the concessions being made by the power structure, is another person’s “good thing”, in this case, the wins made by SF educators and their larger community.
Planets don’t discriminate. Like gravity, the energies they exert can be used for altruistic or nefarious purposes.
Jesse Jackson on Sesame Street in 1971
Jesse Jackson just died on a solar eclipse in Aquarius
That’s right, the start of this eclipse season on February 17th last month Jesse Jackson passed away. Now whatever you feel about the man, that is a pretty epic way to peace out of this world. I wonder where that energy is going to take him next?
Okay so now on to my take on the reverend.
He did deliver a more diverse constituency for the political class through the Rainbow Coalition, which is no small feat. However, everyone should have known better than to fall for this hype. The Rainbow Coalition itself was originally the brain child of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton.
Fred Hampton of the Chicago Black Panther Party killed by the US Government
These two quotes from the Black Agenda report sum it up best for me
I have understood Jackson as the last vestige of an earlier moment of Black political life that contained the promise of economic transformation — but whose memory was reduced to inspirational speeches and incorporation into polite society. — The Black Agenda Report
and
…he was never truly building anything concrete that could attempt to achieve any goals outside of positioning himself as a person who could deliver certain constituencies for electoral campaigns. — The Black Agenda Report
Another person involved in the Black Capitalist class is Jay-Z who has been subduing black and brown people for decades now.
If you don’t believe me just peep Jeffrey Epstein’s quote to Jess Staley in the Epstein Files:
You want to know why we are not São Paulo, watch the TV adds on the Super Bowl. Its all about hip blacks in hip cars with white women. The group that should be in the streets has been bought off. by Jay Z
He was responding to Staley being worried about protest and referencing the anti-World Cup protests in São Paulo, Brazil in 2014. Jess Staley is a banker and former CEO of Barclays Bank.
Black Capitalism is not, nor was it ever, the solution to the subjugation of black and working class people imposed by capitalism. Just ask Huey P. Newton about that. He said from the start, that socialism was the only way out of this for us.
Another “fun” eclipse thing that happened today was the Senate hearing of Kristi Noem the Secretary of Homeland Security
Also, for those who think that we would be better off under a Democratic institution, allow me to draw your attention to 287G which is a Clinton (Democratic President) law that deputizes local police officers with immigration enforcement powers. That means that they authorize collaboration and immunity for officers who help or work with ICE, DHS, or CBP.

So basically, if you voted for Kamala, and she won, yes, you would be out to brunch, but this shit would still be going on, just in the dark. The saving grace is that the heads of all these departments under the Trump Administration are incredibly stupid, so we can all see what’s going on in plain daylight because they love to brag about it.
In addition, finally, we are also able to see how the Democratic party enables all this crap. Again, Obama built the cages, Trump filled them, Biden started the genocide, Trump finished/continues and expands it. Money and power corrupts absolutely periodT.
Baby Amalia was rushed to a hospital for respiratory distress from an ICE detention facility, treated, then returned to detention
The other thing I want you to remember is that during the hearing, South Carolina Senator Linsday Graham, said that because the Democrats are not allowing more DHS funding to go through, ie contributing to the Government shutdown, that the Coast Guard is not being funded. He said that because we bombed Iran on the 28th of February, they may want to retaliate. This is a setup to be able to blame the Democrats if there is a terrorist attack. Let me remind you that there was absolutely no reason to bomb Iran, except to do Israel’s bidding.
Protestor in the hearing
Netanyahu would be more than happy to draw the US into another 10yr war like he did after 911. He outsourced the casualties in the deaths of United States military and reaped the benefits in strengthening the Israeli State. He wants to do it again and our Congress is letting that happen.
Not only that, but Iran even agreed to the harshest controls on it’s nuclear energy program that it has ever agreed to, even under the Obama administration. Instead of taking the win, the Trump administration decided to make itself a pawn for Israeli hegemony in the region and further subjugation of its own people there and ours here at home.
Just found out Steph Curry and Kevin Durant are investors in the IDF
😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨. To add insult to injury, it appears that he decided to invest in surveillance tech that directly helped the Israeli Defense Fund to slaughter Palestinians and surveil his own Oakland and SF community here in the United States. Again Black Capitalism will never save us. Remember that.
Reality Check
I also want to remind us all that nationalism kills. The founding of this very country was on slavery and genocide not the white washed revolution they shove down our throats constantly.
Everyone is saying that pedophilia is not a part of the US Presidency. Lest I remind you that the founder of this country, George Washington, was notorious for raping child slaves to make more slaves.
We are at a reconing with this Pluto Return of the United States. Will we chart a different path forward? Will we right our wrongs, starting with reparations and land back politicies? The longer we put this off the more we will suffer.
I don’t presume to see the fruits of our struggle in our lifetimes, but it doesn’t make the fight any less worth it. I’m not doing this for my kids, I don’t have any, I’m doing it for yours, and if we all thought more about other people’s kids, this country would be in a way better place. You can thank us all who are in this struggle, in whatever realm comes after this one. Stay safe and remember, always use wisely the stars you were dealt.
Heads up that I just updated the “Vetted News Sources” section on my website
I get a lot of people asking me where I get my information. It is a result of decades and decades of being interested in socio-political theory and being raised by a father who constantly asked me “So what’s your source?” Enjoy!
