queen of cups redux
you know, it's interesting how bush*s most serious political difficulties are coming from women. Cindy Sheehan, Valerie Plame, Senator Landrieu, and Mother Nature aka Katrina. I'd be *real* scared if i were him. It was Durga who defeated the demon even the gods could not destroy.

Russell Means Visits Camp Casey II

Means Says He Understands Power Of Women

By Gene Ellis
ICONOCLAST REPORTER

August 29, 2005

CAMP CASEY II — Russell Means’ appearance on the stage at Camp Casey II in Crawford yesterday was a surprise to many. For background on this famous Indian (who eschews the government term “Native American”), see brief additional biographical information at the end of this story.

Means, a long-time activist, arrived in Central Texas to support the efforts of Cindy Sheehan and her Iraq war protestors. He well understands the power of women. He spoke, both on stage and in a later interview with the Iconoclast, of the matriarchal society of the American Indian.

Motherhood in America has an inkling of the meaning of this, Means mused, but the Indians live it.

He explained that in a family, the mother is the only member who cannot be replaced. Women live longer than men, can stand more pain, have more endurance, he said. At about this point, Means introduced his wife, Pearl, and received a hug from Joan Baez, who was sitting on the floor of the stage with Cindy Sheehan, listening to Means’ remarks.

Means said that America has a patriarchal society where men rule alone and in fear of the unknown because they are alone. Matriarchy, he pointed out, is not fear-based. In a matriarchal society, each sex is celebrated for its strengths, and there is local control, male/female balance.

During the later interview with the Iconoclast, Means made a point of saying that he is sincere about women taking control of their power, providing a balanced and positive culture. The Blue and Gold Star mothers have an innate understanding of matriarchy, according to Means, even though, as members of a patriarchal society, they have been brainwashed for many years.

In a matriarchal society, all must be responsible.

and:

Dennis Banks, a leader of the American Indian Movement, came to Camp Casey today and presented Cindy with a Ceremonial Robe. He also presented Cindy with a pin with 5 gold stars. Following the presentation, a traditional drum was used for a song honoring Casey Sheehan ... a fallen hero ...

7. Don't forget Gen. Janis Karpinski of Abu Graib fame. She is
starting to sing. If they put her up in front of a congressional investigation, under oath, it's going to make Donald Rumsfeld look really bad. Another pin that needs to be knocked over in the BushCo set.

6. This scenario has yet to play out but it sure looks like
all these women and finally mother nature will bring this President down and hopefully his minions. Since one of the other cards the King of Swords plays into this future, it seems it will be hearings and trials that will bring the truth out and the Emperor will lose his throne. Also, the Page of Cups seems to have a role in this, the messenger, I feel will be that the press will start reporting the truth and not Rovian propaganda.

My readings have always come to a good conclusion in the end, however, only after conflict, suffering, and struggles before this comes to a conclusion. This also seems to be playing out.

And people say the Tarot is superstition. *snarf*

9. Through the courts could mean
indictment(Fitzgerald indicts Bush himself); the Ohio lawsuits result in nullification of the Bush election or something like that) impeachment, in which the trial is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; or resignation following embarrassing revelations in lawsuits. And those are just the possibilities I could think of!
Did you get a feel for any particular scenario?

10. at the time i was thinking election fraud
it was a few days after the election and it was a sort of 'general' reading for the US for the upcoming year. i *was* wondering if there was a possibility of any reversal in the election results and what i saw was bush 'winning' but not finishing his term. either him or members of his cabinet in jail. i also saw a great deal of shock in the majority of his supporters.

so much stuff has happened since last november that i really can't say what's going to get him. i'd bet money on the downfall of his administration happening in the courts though.

11. Please, everyone
pray to Goddess (however you conceptualize her) for protection and strength for Governor Blanco. She will probably need it going against bushco like she is. I pray she prevails

12. I did a reading tonight with Bush as the significator.
I'm having browser and other puter problems today, so I couldn't put up the reading. But the cards very clearly pointed to his going to jail or an imprisonment of sort. There were many sword cards and major arcana cards pointing to the players in this drama. I will do other readings in the coming weeks to see if this first one is consistent. Keeping my fingers crossed. I hope it's not bad karma to hope that a reading is true.
