In conclusion
Greetings everyone!
And Merry Christmas! The fateful day is fast upon us. Since the last letter, Christmas preparations are going along quite well in our fair city. I found out why the city was only setting up food stalls this year, the reason being the people selling the usual Christmas fare and trinkets complained last year because, well, business wasn’t so good. We hear from shop owners here in the city that this Christmas season is also slow in terms of sales. It could have something to do with a stagnating economy, prices going up, wages say staying the same, and so on. We will forego boring details here. But there was one exciting event on the sixth here in the city. The Krampus arrived.
Then, about a week later, I was taken back to memories of my old stomping ground in Australia, but for a decidedly painful reason. I refer here to the shootings at Bondi Beach. There is a report on it on the blog site which you can read. I’ll have a bit more on it later on in this letter. It is an evolving story which brings surprising details nearly every day now. I lived in Australia for almost 20 years in South Australia and became a naturalized citizen. I’ll be going back there for a few weeks in late April and early May for a visit. But even before the tragic events at Bondi my times in Australia had been coming to mind. It has been a strange sort of period here the past few weeks, as there has been unusual activity in the space weather. It has affected people in various ways. Some people report difficulty sleeping, increased fatigue, strange electrical activity in the body that affects certain organs, like the heart. This is been largely the result of solar activity, which affects the electrical side of the earth in numerous ways. But one effect I noticed for myself, was that very clear images and memories from my past have come to mind, as far back as my early childhood, things and events long forgotten, now clear as day. It is like a valve or a door has been opened that is allowing access to memories, as well as insights into the future. I have been getting those as well.
Sunny days:
Just so you know, December of this year is seen significant solar activity, which is included spikes and solar flux from solar flares on the 4th and on the 8th of this month and with several M-class flares (medium-high level) in early December along with associated coronal mass ejections (CMEs), causing geomagnetic magnetic storms and high background radiation. These activities peaked around mid-December and it reflects a strong Solar Cycle 25. The solar flare on the 8th was the one that affected my wife and I most strongly. Such flares disrupt radio communications, electric power grids, navigational signals and they pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts. The flare on the 8th was one of the most intense flares. NASA snapped a picture of it. So, if you have been feeling out of sorts lately with unusual sensations or changes in mood, this may well serve to explain why. Following upon that, as is often the case, we have seen a spike in violence across the world, along with natural disasters. Extremes in sunspot activity track the most violent episode of activity on earth. Added to all this, we have seen the Mars out-of-bounds activity which came in at the very end of November. The latter is explained more in the description of the new moon.
This type of solar activity goes on all the time, ebbing and flowing in cycles. We are seeing a sort of psychic ‘clearing of the decks’ as we move into a period of renewal, in keeping with the changing subjective planetary cycles. 2025 was a key year of transition between such cycles, as discussed in previous letters here. But coming back to the energies of the Sun as they impact upon us, such increases in electrical and radiator activity affect the bodies of humans and animals in subtle ways. The bodies we inhabit for our brief stays in physical reality, which we call our lives, are a product of long eons of evolution, belonging to a class of lives called the Lunar Lords. As it turns out, those lives are connected with the sign Sagittarius. The connection of the Lunar Lords with Sagittarius gave rise to another great event millions of years ago – the birth of our Earth humanity, when we were imbued with the spark of consciousness which we call the soul. That relationship comes down to the following, as far as our considerations for this month:
“Sagittarius rules or conditions (for that is what the word means) the activity of the lunar lords who build the body of man out of their own substance. It will, therefore, be obvious to you why, when a man begins the one-pointed activity of Sagittarius and becomes the earnest disciple, it is possible for him to rule his personality and to govern it so that eventually it becomes the vehicle of the soul. It accounts also for the reaction of the personality against this control…”[2]
When the Sun is in Sagittarius every year special effort will be made into the future to gain further control over and thus liberation from the control of the personality.[3]
Individualization for our Earth humanity took place in a long-passed Age of Sagittarius, said to have been some 21 million years ago. What exactly do we mean by individualization in the esoteric sense? All of us have souls (being Spirits/gods/monads in the occult sense) in two means – as the individual soul on the mental plane (housed in the ‘causal body’ – the soul that reincarnates) and as the higher Self, also known as the spiritual Triad, the ‘atma-buddhi-manas’, or spiritual Soul. The humanity thus created was unable at that point to register the event. The event was described thus:
“The sons of God shot forth like arrows from the bow. The forms received the impulse and lo! A God was born. The tiny babe knew not the great event.”[4]
“…every time the man finds himself under the influence of Sagittarius it is with the objective of orienting himself to some new and higher objective, with the task of refocussing himself towards a higher goal and with the unfoldment of some basic and directing purpose. These developing purposes may range all the way from purely animal desire, through selfish human ambition, to the struggle of the aspiring disciple or initiate in order to achieve the needed liberation towards which the entire evolutionary process has impelled him.”[5]
Renewal and reorientation: This applies to both the Sun and the Ascendant when found as such in one’s chart. So, we have a theme, both yearly and in life after life when we come under Sagittarian influence, as we experience a process of renewal, one of looking at our present status as a soul expressing through our personality and what can be done to make that expression even more potent in the world. Our purpose here in life after life is both a process of the redemption of matter (the lunar lords) and of becoming increasingly a station of spiritual Light in the service of liberating all lives from the bondage of and to materialism, meaning. Our process is one of steady and graded progress toward full enlightenment, with each goal on that path this pointing to another. We have the process of struggle toward attainment (which is why we call it ‘practise’), the reaching of various plateaus in consciousness (which we call attainments) and at each stage or step in the process we experience lesser and greater stages of initiation into a greater progress. This initiatory process is represented to us in our modern societies as the graduation ceremonies in schools and universities. We struggle with studies with the aim of gaining in knowledge and status, we experience a growing sense of enlightenment, and then we undergo examination to see if the studies have ‘stuck’. The examination is the process of initiation. If we are successful we are allowed into a greater sphere of influence and awareness. Sagittarius rules higher education in orthodox astrology. It all leads to this:
“In Sagittarius, the intellect which has been developed, used and finally illumined, becomes sensitive to a still higher type of mental experience and to this we give the name of intuitive perception. There come flashes of light upon problems; a distant yet possible vision of attainment is seen; the man begins to climb out of the depths to which he has descended in Scorpio and sees ahead of him the mountain in Capricorn which he knows he must eventually climb. He walks no longer in the dark, for he sees what he has to do and he therefore makes rapid progress and travels “fast upon the Way.”[6]
Further, the purpose of such a life is to orient the Sagittarian type toward the fulfillment of some initiatory experience, whether it is a type of sensuous initiation or a spiritual awakening into expanded consciousness.[7] Sagittarius thereby relates to the person being able to ‘hold steady the eye’[8] in the attainment of the aimed objective. Sagittarius thus indicates one is being reoriented toward some initiatory experience.[9] So, we have a dual activity in the Sagittarian experience – to travel the plains of earthly experience in the quest for higher knowledge and consciousness, watching the experiences passing by while gaining from those experiences, all the while holding the eye steady (one’s consciousness steady), never allowing the ‘temptations of earth’ to pull one off the desired path. It is a steady progress: “I see the goal, I reach that goal and then I see another”[10], the eternal mantra of the soul on the path to full enlightenment. With these points in mind we move on to the new and full moons.
The new moon: The full moon for Sagittarius took place at 23:14 UTC on the 4th of December (10:14 am AEDT on the 5th). The new moon for the Sagittarius interval this year took place on 20 Dec 2025 at 01:43 UTC (8:43 EST in the US on the 19th, 12:43 pm AEDT on the 20th for Australia). The solstice takes place the next day at 15:03 UTC (02:03 AEDT on the 22nd). The reason for posting on the new moon presently is due to my writing schedule this year and the fact the lunar New Year starts on 17 Feb 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse.
More on comets: A long time ago in a solar system far, far away, a little loner left his own system and began a long odyssey across our part of a galaxy. We are talking like around 7 billion years ago, at the best guess. This little guy – an oblong piece of rock, a piece of debris from an exploded star – was ejected from his home system. Was he vanquished, was he sent on a mission, or was it just one of those things that happens when solar systems form, live and then explode? Until we are able to transcend our limited notions of space-time, we are never likely to know. Whatever the reason, this little fellow has made his way to our solar system, from which he will pass, never to be seen again. The little piece of rock we are describing here is now known as 3i/ATLAS, a comet which currently holds the fascination of our entire little planet. We call it a comet here, but scientifically it is known as interstellar object 3i/ATLAS.
Comets are seen as messengers. Is 3i/ATLAS a divine messenger, or a rabble-rouser ejected from his own system in exile, or as many scientists might assume, a fascinating little piece of space flotsam that has washed up on our shores? And it also just happens that its closest approach to our Earth took place mere hours before this new moon. Its closest approach also coincided with a burst of energy at 25 Hz in the Schumann resonances – that’s a subcontra A♭for musicians – which often allegedly presages earthquakes (more study is needed on that point). Again, we can only speculate. But something else happened in even more far distant times.
Coinciding with the discovery of 3i/ATLAS on July 2nd this year the longest gamma ray burst ever recorded was detected. It was a series of three bursts from the same source that lasted over seven hours.
Such bursts usually last only a few minutes or seconds. These bursts were the result of a major catastrophic cosmic event, like a white dwarf star being drawn into an event horizon (black hole). They received the memorable name GRB 250702B. But here is the thing: While 3i/ATLAS is an interstellar object, the gamma ray bursts were intergalactic – from another galaxy altogether. Those rays took somewhere in the neighbourhood of 8 billion years to reach us. And they just happened to be detected the day after this comet was discovered. The bursts were observed in the constellation Scutum, the Shield. This roughly astrologically calculates to the sign Capricorn. It was just one of those coincidences, you know? They were not observed in the same locale of space, though, so as events they were unrelated, except for us. If you revel in esoteric thought, this coincidence, so-called, raises very interesting speculations. Is everything in our universe predetermined, mathematically calculated? Is karma absolute? Is karma seen solely in reference to past events, or can our present karma be seen in the future, this latter piece of questioning relating to the concept of predetermination and whether or not space-time is linear. All esoteric speculation aside, the thing that is most important to us in our current state of consciousness and understanding is the big question: What does it all mean?
Both of these events were observed at a time in our current era were in the various conflicts in the world and the efforts of some governments to suppress information about them have resulted in the mass of humanity waking up to realities that have long been hidden from us. We have investigated many of those things in past letters here. But the things that most stand out now are the revelations coming about the perfidy and relationship between Israel and Western nations, the grand scam that Ukraine represents, the reasons why our Western leaders are so keen on trying to push us to war, the true state of our economies and why our lot as the common people continues to go from bad to worse – so on and so forth. We will investigate many of these questions in the paragraphs to follow. So, is this little guy, this little piece of rock and dust tumbling and hurtling through space – does it represent a type of avatar? Is the Messiah about the return to Earth? Or does this comet, as many comets in the past have signalled, presaging a grand event that will lead us down a path not necessarily over our own liking? Comets in the past have signalled assassinations and other untoward events toward people of importance to humanity. Recent events would seem to suggest this latter explanation for what this comet might represent. However, there is also light being displayed, in that people no longer accept established narratives and are beginning to question everything. In that regard, the appearance of this comet, being interstellar, is suggestive of our eyes being open to greater realities.
Every December through January every year we enter into a region near the Sun where we are exposed to a higher proportion of x-rays, due to the Sun ionizing gases. 3i/ATLAS is in our inner solar system right now, emitting a large amount of gas which is adding to the ionization by the Sun and thus the x-ray load to which we are being exposed. It reached its closest approach to the Earth on the 19th. This energy will peak right after the solstice two days later. Along with this we have a historic planetary alignment that is taking place involving the alignment of the Sun, Venus, Mars and the Earth opposite Jupiter, aligned with the Galactic Center. Last time we saw this was in 1936, which will have relevance later on in this letter. The alignment with the Galactic Center also exposes us to more x-rays and gamma rays and high-energy cosmic particles. Then along with that, we have the Saturn/Neptune conjunction at the Aries point, 0° Aries, which will be explained more around the time of that event in early February. We also have the Geminid (13, 14), Ursids (20, 21) and Quadrantid (3, 4 Jan) meteor showers. And finally, we see the increased activity of the Sun, mentioned at the first part of this letter. 2025 marks the solar maximum, which may this time result in a double maximum.
We are caught in the devil’s bargain, also. But we are also looking at a phenomenon that is many billions of years old, older than our own solar system. Also of interest is that 3i/ATLAS approached our solar system from the constellation of Sagittarius, in the direction of the Galactic Center. In a sense we are encountering our origins, yet getting insights into the undercurrents that have conditioned our beliefs for years. The veil of artificial belief systems is being peeled away, giving way to experience and a more realistic assessment of where we are headed as humanity. Our goals as peoples and nations are under examination. And the more we become aware, the harder the powers-that-be will try to reinforce their old, tired tropes and beliefs. In that sense this comet represents a type of messenger. But the real messenger is our own soul as it beckons us to enlightenment. We are all headed back to the garden, as it were, with a rising counter-culture against the post WWII order. With all these thoughts in mind we move on to current events and our wider examinations.
Current events: The following events have taken place since the last letter.
Was there a Cold War?: We could conceivably posit that the world wars did not end in 1945, but continued covertly and instead have continued in various phases to the present day. This would be due to the fact that separatism persisted after WWII instead of overall international cooperation to soundly end the causes of conflicts, with the inception of the Cold War and the creation of Israel, the latter due to Zionism. Regarding Zionism, if we really wanted to dive into analysis of it, Zionism arose out of the sense of elitism among certain secular Jews and the sense of invincibility the end of WWII engendered in the Allies, especially Washington. Washington reigned supreme in the West. As we have noted before, Zionism has nothing to do with religion, but instead with cultural and financial control and separative attitudes. These attitudes of ‘the other’ regarding humanity have been with us since humanity has existed, but they are used by materialists and people in lesser positions of power to keep humanity divided into sects, cantons, belief systems, what have you. Until such attitudes end, conflict will be with us always.
What eventuated in the post-WWII years was a lull in the wider conflict, firstly as Washington/Wall Street, with the cooperation of the old Western European colonial powers seeking to counter Russian influence; and on the Russian side, seeking to spread its version of the revolution worldwide. The present battle lines were drawn thus. To distil this into a nutshell, the battle became one between capital (the West) and labor (the East, including Russia). Most wars have always been about money and resources. It is no different today with the hot wars we see every day on our telephones. This brings us to the latest US national strategy paper. These wars have never really been about ideology. They have been about money and power. The remarks that follow are prefaced with the idea that Sagittarius rules the personality of Washington, DC, with the lower motto of Sagittarius being, “Let food be sought.”[12] ‘Food’ in this case refers to territory, resources, control of the money supply and so on – any means by which the US is kept ‘nourished’. Sagittarius also refers to Washington’s tendency toward adventurism abroad. We also preface the remarks to follow by saying when America is referred to, we are talking about Washington rather than the people of the United States, unless otherwise stated. So, we begin.
There are certain things that this new NSS actually outlines without actually stating them in its text. Those points are as follows:
“The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birth rates and loss of national identities and self-confidence…American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should then be to help Europe to help us successfully compete, and to work in concert with us to prevent any adversary from dominating Europe.”
The doublespeak and hypocrisy in that statement is eye-watering. Well, much of the European public now sees Washington as an adversary seeking to dominate Europe. Washington doesn’t really care about genuine democracy, freedom of expression and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. In one way they are all for it – so long as it is in agreement with Washington policy. But when individual nations begin to oppose American policy, then efforts will be brought to bear to ‘restore freedom and democracy’ to those nations, American style. What we are seeing instead is a rising tide of suppression of speech across the West, all the while the leaders of Europe by and large are in the pockets of Washington and international bankers.
Europe as a US vassal: The fact that the EU is a vassal of the US was no more apparent than when the leaders of key EU states sat in a row in front of Trump after the Alaska summit and made their appeals to save Ukraine, meaning to keep the war going. There is also strong Zionist influence in the UK and France especially, along with the German guilt over the Holocaust, guilt which should have precluded any assistance for the genocide in Gaza. Yet the Germans are one of the primary European suppliers and supporters of the Zionist state. Put simply, the financial interests in the US and Europe are the ones who pull the strings of the governments in those places and those interests still make a handsome profit from both conflicts. The financial interests of the US and Europe are tightly intertwined, the main countries in the EU all have military bases in them, with the exception of France, and Europe has been a cash cow for the US since the two world wars. We have a Rothschild graduate in Macron, a BlackRock asset in Merz, an EU head who loves Pfizer and was the worst defence Minister in German history, a City of London lackey in Starmer, a NATO head (‘Teflon Rutte’) who seems to like scandals and calls Trump “Daddy”, while Trump just adores Italy’s Meloni. Then there is the interference in EU elections like we just saw in Moldova.
The Moldova ‘election’, if we can call it that, was straight out of a 2019 RAND Corporation playbook. As one Irish journalist called it,
“So, Maia Sandu’s pro-EU PAS scraped 50.16% in Moldova’s election… a bare majority won only after banning at least six opposition parties, trimming Moscow-leaning Transnistria’s polling stations from 41 to 12 under the alibi of bridge repairs, and offering just two in Russia for up to half a million Moldovans, while 73 were opened in Italy for barely a hundred thousand. A victory on paper, yes… but if the same things happened in Georgia or Serbia, Brussels would denounce such a vote as illegitimate.”
‘Democracy’ is only a word in Europe. It is much the same across the West, as we are gradually discovering. We read comments to the effect that they blame the peoples of Western nations for voting for the people in office, saying “You get what you vote for.”
What is never mentioned is that we, the people never get to choose the candidates. The candidates are all vetted by the establishment of each country (and abroad) and special interests and then money is poured into their campaigns. After being ‘elected’ – like we have just seen with Trump – we see the interests of the establishment and special interests continued, administration after administration. We do not truly live in democracies at the levels of state. Why does it even matter about Moldova’s election then, as an example, aside from Moldovan public will and opinion being ignored? As we note, geography matters, more than does narrative. Geography encompasses cultures, whereas narrative, as practiced in the West often seeks to deny culture when it is convenient for people in power. Moldova has a large Russian-speaking population and was once a satellite state in the USSR before claiming its independence. Yet, Russian culture remains there as well as a strong Slavic culture, and the Russophobes in Europe and the US cannot abide it.
When one looks on a map at where Moldova is situated, the reason for wanting an EU-friendly Moldova stands out – it lies between Ukraine near Odessa and Romania, the latter being where the largest NATO military base in Europe is being constructed. It would be very inconvenient for the West to have Moldova in the Russian camp. There is a NATO plan for the immediate future here which involves keeping Russia tied down in Ukraine while Trump goes after Iran and Venezuela. Bringing those two nations back under Western control would give the US control over the lion’s share of the world’s energy reserves and would immediately negatively impact China. The West depends upon oil for financial derivatives trading in order to prop up its neoliberal financial system.
It is reported that there are French and British troops already in Odessa, with French troops having been sighted in Moldova. The largest ammo dump in Eastern Europe (full of Soviet-era weapons) is in Transnistria, a pro-Russian enclave in Moldova, bordering Ukraine. The British have long coveted control of Odessa, as have the French. There is growing concern over a possible false flag by Ukraine with Ukraine’s hope being that NATO would be pulled into the war, also probably with the idea that the Russians wouldn’t dare to attack if NATO moved on Transnistria and Odessa. The latter would be a false hope. The false flag would involve something like flying modified downed Russian decoy drones retrofitted with warheads into Poland and Romania, thus stoking panic in the rest of Europe. The Russians are taking that as a credible threat, so they have called it out, calling it a ‘Ukrainian Gleiwitz’ incident. The EU elites, in order to preserve their positions and the very structure of the EU, are seeking to find some way to escalate the war in order to push through more austerity measures and to justify rearming the continent. The British establishment is the main agitator in those plans, with MI6 having played a very large role in the Russo-Ukraine war.
Europe has surrendered its sovereignty by toeing the Washington line, via sanctions, destruction of its energy supply and deindustrialization, chasing after windmills instead of nuclear energy and allowing a flood of refugees in instead of working to stop the wars that the US has fought in order to keep its proxy state (Israel) as the regional hegemon. Those wars are the source of the large refugee crisis, from Africa though to Ukraine. I don’t think we need to name them. The leaders in the EU supported those wars, too, largely because of pressure from Washington and also for their own gain. The other side of the migrant flood has been that it presents European industrialists with a ready supply of cheap labor, keeping wages low and workers’ rights diminished. Instead of supporting native European families and economies, which would bolster birth rates in those nations and serve to restore real economies, corporate interests support wars abroad and look at profit margins instead of the good of the public. And now these European leaders have agreed to purchase very expensive American weapons to send to Ukraine and buying freedom molecules (oil and gas) from the US instead of cheap Russian gas and oil. Geography is being trumped by corporate interests Europe and the US.
Follow the money: It is key to understand that the war in Ukraine has actually been used as a money laundering operation, involving kickbacks to US defence contractors, kickbacks to European officials who toed the American line, has enriched the oligarchies of the US, Europe and Ukraine, and has in fact impoverished both Europe and Ukraine. If the war were to end tomorrow, the corruption this war in Ukraine has spawned throughout Europe and the US would be exposed. The US is cutting its losses and seeking to distance itself, along with any blame that may come from exposure of graft and corruption associated with the war. This is what the Western European nations fear the most.
Along with this we see the ongoing talks between Russian officials and American business people with Witcoff and Jerad Kushner. This too is part of the new Washington strategy. The hope there is to re-establish Western business links within Russia, American investment in Russia, edging out the European investment, but in the long term hoping to sow opposition from business leaders within Russia to the policies of the Kremlin. From Europe we move on to West Asia.
The US dumping Israel?: The Israelis are also somewhat alarmed at the New Security Strategy. They are having buyer’s remorse regarding Trump. We have the following from the NSS:
“The days in which the Middle East dominated American foreign policy in both long-term planning and day-to-day execution are thankfully over and – not because the Middle East no longer matters, but because it is no longer the constant irritant, and potential source of imminent catastrophe, that it once was. It is rather emerging as a place of partnership, friendship, and investment – a trend that should be welcomed and encouraged.”
This bit just quoted is nothing more than a piece of delusion. Elijah Magnier recently made comment on the change in the American attitude toward West Asia and Israel in particular. He had this to say:
“The United States is no longer seeking decisive battlefield outcomes. Instead it is enforcing a sequencing strategy in which escalation is postponed, conflicts are frozen, and economic political frameworks take precedence. Israel, long accustomed to shaping events through military initiative, now finds itself increasingly constrained by this approach…As widely anticipated, Israel has not complied with the cease-fire agreement or its provisions. One of the earliest most consequential violations concerns humanitarian access…Despite the near completion of this central obligation, no multinational stabilization force has been deployed to Gaza, contrary to what was envisaged in the second phase of US President Donald Trump’s plan that brought an end to nearly two years of war on the strip.”
What this means is that Israel has effectively been left holding the bag momentarily, as it were. They are now trying to claw back that support. Netanyahu will be in Florida on the 29th in an attempt to cajole Trump into a war with Iran. The Zionists are seeking to reclaim the narrative through various means, which all result in media exposure rather than brute force. The Zionists know that if they lose the pro-Israel narrative in the US especially then their days are seriously numbered. But they are losing that narrative, and quickly, no matter how hard they try to reinforce it. And now we are seeing real political pushback against the Zionists. There is a particular movement that was just formed – a mere month after the discoveries of 3i/ATLAS and GRB 250702B – in the United States that has been born out of the growing disgust about Israel with the American public, the undue influence of Zionism on American politics and the alarm at the damage Israeli actions are doing to America’s reputation worldwide.
AZA-PAC:
This new organization is called the Anti-Zionist America Political Action Committee – AZA-PAC for short. It was registered online on 18 August this year (chart). Its founder is Dr. Michael Rectenwald. The aim is to counter the political influence of the Israel lobby in the United States and eventually to end all PACs. See the video with Dialogue Works below. Rectenwald says this will take some years, as in the remainder of this decade to accomplish. But he states that if one million Americans were to donate $50 to the campaigns of candidates opposing pro-Israel incumbents in key states the movement would make a difference. He goes on to say the aim is not to destroy Israel, but to bring an end to Zionist influence in the United States and to register organizations like AIPAC as foreign agents in the US. AZA-PAC can expect a hard fight, as we might expect. But if the registration chart is any indication, AZA-PAC stands a fighting chance of succeeding. Americans and resident aliens, if you want to see our politicians put America first and end Zionism as a viable entity in the US and abroad, please give generously to the cause. One of the reasons, also, why AZA-PAC was founded was the now overt Zionist orientation of the Trump administration.
American Caligula: Donald Trump is being likened to the Roman Emperor Caligula for his actions in his 2nd term, primarily for his erratic and at time outlandish behaviors and policies. More and more comments we see are speculating Trump has advancing dementia (Do a search on X for ‘Trump, dementia’). For these reasons and more, there is a long article that goes on to explain why Trump is being likened to that emperor of Rome. If you don’t know who Caligula was, he ruled Rome for four years and was assassinated because of his insanity – not to suggest a possible end for Trump. Caligula was considered to be the ‘mad emperor of Rome’. But the biggest reason to compare Trump with Caligula is that Caligula exposed the Roman Republic at the time for what it was – corrupt and degenerate. From the long article we have the following:
“…in many important respects, I think that Trump’s second term has become the reign of President Caligula for different and much deeper reasons. Just as Caligula proved to Romans that their traditional republican system of government no longer existed, I think that the bold, unilateral actions taken by Trump have revealed to all Americans that our own traditional form of constitutional government has been transformed into something very different. Important stages of that transformation had already taken place under several previous presidents, but they had successfully concealed this reality, assisted by the active collusion of the mainstream media. However, Trump has now crudely torn off all those gauzy blindfolds and revealed the truth for everyone to see.”
Israel’s civil war: From the last letter, we saw that Hamas has refused to be disarmed, and on the other side we see that Israel is always refuses to honor its obligations. Its attacks on Gaza continue on a daily basis. What we have there at the moment is a period of stasis that no doubt will flare up into open combat once again. As is the case with Russia, the Europeans also want the genocide in Gaza to continue. From the previous quote by Magnier, although Trump’s plan has brought an end to nearly two years of open warfare on the strip, the slow, methodical bombing by the Israelis continues. On top of Israeli concerns, there are the efforts of Netanyahu to impose his will on Israeli society, making a lot of threats, which is causing unrest there almost to the point of civil war. Alastair Crooke made the following comment (see interview on Judging Freedom), as he follows events there closely. Bibi is pressuring President Herzog for a full pardon:
“Well, he’s making very explicit threats. He’s saying, “You know, if you don’t do this and if you don’t do it in a way that is satisfactory, I’ll burn the system. I’ll burn it down.” And he’s suggesting that he can. Now, the system is very fragile at the moment. There are three main pillars to the old system, the old Israel that perhaps we thought we knew. One of them was the Supreme Court. The other was the Judiciary and the third was the Military. And all of those are on now on the back foot under the pressure coming from Netanyahu. All of those are actually collapsing. Even the Supreme Court is backing off in many ways. It’s still there, but it’s backing off. So he has quite some leverage over the system at the moment in terms of the civil war which I’ve often been talking about. I mean basically the right are winning this war against what they call the Israeli deep state i.e. the Supreme Court, the Judiciary and the Military. And he’s just won over the military by really saying, “Well, actually, there won’t be an inquiry about my role and what happened to the lead-up to the 7th of October. Actually, we’re going to fire some mid-level generals because of their failure on it.”
West Asia is a powder keg just waiting for a match to set it off. The situation for Israel there is so desperate that they are seeking any and all measures to stifle any criticism worldwide of Israel in particular and Jews in general. Hence we have had a spate of shootings, each of which the Israelis have hastened to blame on Iranian-backed shooters. It is total nonsense, but the Israelis have so infiltrated Western leadership, backed by the Americans (who the wealthy oligarchs in the US have completely corrupted except for a few brave souls in leadership) that they weigh heavily on Western leaders to advance any and all policies to support the Israeli state. Australia and the UK are good examples of such. ‘Anti-Semitism’ is now used as a cudgel against the Western public.
Anti-Semitism (?): People by and large are sick of hearing about antisemitism. The term as it is used in the present context, as Israelis would like to have it, is incorrect anyway. The true Semites are the Palestinian, Jewish, Christian and Arabic peoples who lived in Palestine for millennia. The current leader of Israel, Netanyahu, is a secular Polish transplant to the region. Now, there is nothing hateful in making said remarks. They are just simple facts. Another fact is that not all Jews are Semites. In fact, most Jews are racially non-Semitic, witnessed by the Jewish population of the United States, who largely migrated there from Europe. The term ‘Semite’ does not automatically mean ‘Jewish’, but the two terms have been conflated since the creation of Israel for political ends. These remarks are made for purpose. Thus, the term ‘antisemitism’ is being used as political tool for repression now rather than being a statement of fact. The Jewish people do not constitute a race (which to hear would greatly offend many Israeli Jews). Jews, like any other religious or societal group these days, come from many different racial groups and regions. The attitude that most annoys non-Jews is the sense of entitlement and sense of superiority and impunity that some Jews, especially Israeli, have. The Israelis had their sense of impunity and superiority smacked and shown reality in the 12-Day War with Iran, which brings us to the larger consideration here.
The recent spate of shootings, especially in Bondi, has seen the old antisemitism trope rolled out, to the extent that legislation is being introduced through Parliament to clamp down on criticism of Israel and Jews. Mossad is ‘involved’ in the investigation of the shootings. It was a shooting on Australian soil, by Australians. What does Mossad have to do with it? The matter has gone to ridiculous lengths in the UK, where hundreds of people have been arrested and charged for hate speech, even terrorism. Most of those people have been elderly and infirmed from what has appeared on social media. I haven’t seen any videos of big, burly protesters for Palestine being hauled in. Funny, that. Maybe I am wrong, but optics matter in public opinion. It is so bad in the UK that George Galloway, once a member of the UK Parliament, is living in exile now, facing arrest if he enters the UK again. The reason? – for speaking the truth and criticising Israel for the genocide. He has also travelled to Russia.
Ukraine update: The trio of the United States, Europe and Ukraine have been meeting in an effort to draw up a cease-fire plan. That last word tells you why the Russians will reject it. The Russians want a comprehensive security agreement across Europe and an end to the causes of the conflict. They want a treaty, not a cease-fire. A cease-fire would allow Ukraine to rearm and rest to fight Russia at another time. The Russians want to ensure that ever happens again. And they are well on their way to ensuring that it never happens again. The trio issued a joint statement, making several points which are completely unrealistic. Neither the US nor Russia nor European voters will support it. In another post Elijah Magnier summarized the joint statement as follows:
“Rather than integrating Ukraine into a post-war European security order, the plan institutionalises Ukraine as a front-line security asset, not a normalised state. The EU wants Ukraine to become permanently militarized society.”
The latter sentence is just not going to happen. As it stands, the longer this goes on all the more likely it will be that Ukraine will be left without electricity, that Zelenskyy may well be gone, and that the Zaporozhe and Kherson oblasts will have fallen to the Russian forces. At that point European willingness to support Ukraine will have decreased to the point where there will be little to no resistance to a peace treaty, either by Ukraine or Europe.
1936 redux: As was recently opined by retired Col. Larry Wilkerson, we are looking at a redux of 1936 as Europe sought to pull itself out of the Great Depression. Mentioned above, a powerful astrological alignment occurred that year in June, with the general alignment squaring a Saturn/Neptune opposition. An exact alignment with the Sun, Mars and Jupiter took place on 10 June that year. This was the era wherein Germany was swiftly remaking itself and was doing so, then as well as now, by rebuilding its military, which by the way also relied on a fascist government. The Nazis stripped the nation of its social programs. The Germans marched into the Rhineland on 7 March of that year, violating the Treaty of Versailles. The British and the French did nothing, largely because they were unable to, due to their weak armies at the time. History rhymes. The Germans had begun rearming a few years before the Rhineland invasion. The UK is looking at doing the same thing – remilitarizing – where we hear defence officials saying that the British need to get used to the idea of their sons and daughters going off to war. Germany is also looking at conscription as well, because its young people for some reason don’t want to enlist in the Armed Forces. It is worth noting also in that year there was the Remington Rand strike, which saw corporations adopt the Mohawk Valley formula for strikebreaking. One of the key features of that formula is branding striking workers as ‘unpatriotic’ and ‘un-American’. We hear echoes of it today. It was an important moment in American industrial relations and the struggle between capital and labor.
So, we have several things happening in Ukraine simultaneously: we see the growing resistance movement in a part of Ukraine that is normally firmly against Russia, we see the electricity grid in Ukraine about to collapse, we see the Russians advancing very swiftly across the collapsing front in eastern Ukraine, and a Western public along with a growing number of European states who are refusing to support the war any longer. Jacques Baud has been covering this war all along and has been correct about it since day one.
Apparently there is a list, and the EU officials are starting at the top, in an effort to stifle what should be essential social discourse across the EU. Russia represents no military threat to Western Europe. But to enable the rise of fascism again, the gutting social programs, the huge costs of rearming and having a once again robust military industrial complex – all of that requires an enemy. And to their little minds, Russia fits the bill quite well. We don’t have to go over all the reasons why. We have examined all of them in these letters over the past years. So as it stands, the war will go on probably throughout the next year – that is, unless the Russians turn out the lights in Ukraine. Then all bets are off. Instead, we see that the Peace President decided to go to war against Venezuela. It is not a hot war yet, but he has ordered a blockade of Venezuelan oil shipments, which in itself is an act of war.
Why Venezuela?: Looking back on the first Trump administration we witnessed the theater of the Juan Gaido attempted coup against Maduro. In the interim since the previous Trump administration much as changed with regard to Venezuela. China, Russia and Iran have serious vested interests in Venezuela. China has made large investments there as well as in oil infrastructure, mentioned in the last letter. Russia is now has a strategic partnership. Iran has been aiding Venezuela financially and with food for several years. The military in Venezuela is said to be much firmer behind Maduro now than they were in the first Trump administration. So why is Trump so determined to go against them as well? The reasons primarily are twofold – the desire to control all of Venezuela’s oil and resources; along with the strategic imperative for the US to drive Iran, Russia and China out of Venezuela and by extension South America. There is a third reason also, which is to cut the supply of oil from Venezuela to China. This is all part of Trump’s war against the BRICS bloc. The embargoing of oil shipments would hurt China for a while, but China could pick up the slack from other nations. Venezuelan oil is ideally suited for American refineries, being a heavy crude. American oil is termed ‘light sweet crude’ and it is not ideally suited for diesel fuel.
The other purpose of such a war, Washington hopes would be to cause a domino effect across the Caribbean and later across the whole South America, which would bring Latin and South America back firmly under US control. Countries like Columbia and Brazil are heavily infiltrated by the US and it is questionable as to how much support they would be for Venezuela. And the one nation that the US would really love to topple would be that of Cuba. Washington and Wall Street want to completely wipe socialism from the Western Hemisphere. Venezuela has very strong socialist programs, another reason why Washington wants to upend the regime. So, we hold our breath and watch and wait as tensions again rise in Venezuela. It has been said that war has unintended consequences, and that would be no less true in a war with Venezuela.
The astrology of the US at the moment is such that serious blunders and judgment are very possible, coupled with the much more warlike temperament with this administration. We won’t go into all the astrology here. But another factor that shows in the US chart at the moment is that the oligarchs in the United States are pushing for these conflicts to continue. As we well know by now, the financial situation in the US is increasingly shaky. The AI bubble is most worrisome, on top of other factors, more suitably discussed in a future (Aquarius) letter. As history has shown, when the economy goes down, the elites try to take us to war.
Donald Trump is not in a particularly enviable spot at the moment, either. From his astrology in particular he probably feels that he has a figurative gun to his head and must push these reckless policies. He is beholden to his donors, and Epstein’s ghost is haunting this administration, perhaps even more so now with all the redactions. No one is buying that these files just released actually reveal anything. And everyone suspects a cover up. Truth be known, the redactions are covering up Israeli influence in the government along with CIA involvement, hence the statements about ‘national security’ for the redactions. Even Trump’s Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, is making scurrilous comments (in two parts) about the administration, for which the White House is seriously backtracking.
She says Trump has the temperament of an alcoholic, that she has seen a lot of the Epstein material and Trump is running all through it. And we see the confirmation of his ‘Jewish presidency’ to which he was subjected at the Hanukkah celebration. None of this reflects 3, 4, 5D chess, folks. It speaks to undue influence, corruption and oligarchic control of the US government.
In conclusion: None of what has been brought forward here is meant toward the good people of the world. The soul of America is Aquarian – service oriented, inclusive, accepting and just. That we have had some wayward governments of late simply reflects the changing of the guards, as it were – the space between cycles and the cycle of empires. The old must be swept away before the new can take root and grow. The people of the West are waking up, more rapidly these days, and the crystallized structures of the post-WWII era are breaking down. Stories about our past as nations are being brought to light, long buried in the national myths and hidden from the public. These revelations are good, and needed. The youth of today are coming into their own as the old Cold Warriors retire and die off, and they are questioning old narratives. Zionism is in its Waterloo battle now. It has been a great test for humanity and now Zionism is laid bare. It is the one battle that humanity must win if we are to move peacefully into the emerging cycle. And the signs are good that people are standing up and questioning this undue and foreign influence that has been allowed to take root and grow to such overarching and corrupting influence in Western governments. The battle is for hearts and minds, and realities have sorely tested our ideals. Those ideals, as it turns out, were the patina that covered the convenience and sometimes disdain with which our governments abused those values.
Sagittarius each year brings us back to basics: Where have we succeeded in our objectives, looking back at the need upon which those objectives were based? If we have reached those objectives, what comes next and how do we build upon our success? If we are failing, where did we go wrong and what do we need to do to correct our course? Every work toward an objective is a journey, and every one of them is part of the grand Journey back to our origin – the Soul within us each. In this season may each of you find peace within your own path. The journey is not so hard if we travel together for a time. Each life represents a brief time together in the life of the soul, but our time together enriches each of us profoundly. The next year or two will be challenging, but together we will prevail and move on to greater vistas and a more peaceful and just world. Count on it. I will see you again in the New Year, the Year of the Fire Horse.
