1. Maybe let's not empower this potential eventuality

and visualize neutralize this dynamic on an energetic level.

Yikes.

2. Oh, I saw the lede and immediately thought to myself, "he'll fail."

and I didn't think to mention it.

I saw the article fit into the pattern I saw developing here... Saturn (real authority) ruling Mars (about to go or already in Cancer and doesn't that dampen temper or something?) Or something. I also read the tarot reading I saw posted earlier which said the effort would fail.

Just keeping my eyes open, that's all.

4. Mars is not in Cancer.

It's in Virgo and just conjoined Saturn on Thursday. It'll oppose Uranus on August 6th. That's a bit volatile.

3. Mua-ha-ha: the missile launch was bullshit.

Not only was the picture photoshopped (because the fourth missile was still on the ground, is what I heard on KPFA this morning) but the launch was a dud in other ways~ I'm feeling schadenfreude even though I shouldn't.

Analysis: Iran Fired "Same Old Missiles"

Source: CBS News

Iran's missile test this week did not demonstrate any new capabilities, according to a U.S. official familiar with the intelligence, and the test may not have included one of the longer-range missiles Iran claims was among those launched.

Iranian officials claimed the tests Wednesday and Thursday demonstrated a new variant of the Shahab missile that had a range of 1,250 miles. Such a missile would put much of the Middle East in striking distance, including Israel - as close as 650 miles from Iran - as well as Turkey, Pakistan and the Arabian peninsula.

The tests drew immediate criticism from U.S. officials. In Eastern Europe during the launches, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the missile tests underscored the need for a U.S. missile shield in the region.

But an independent national security blog, , Thursday analyzed video footage of the launch posted by the Iranian government. It determined the missiles were identical to a version of the Shahab missile first demonstrated in Iran in 1998 that has a known range of 746 miles.
