IN A STUNNING synchronicity, the U.S. Senate rejected renewing the Patriot Act today, the same day that The New York Times reported that the Bush administration authorized spying on Americans without court orders. Nice little wave of Sun conjunct Pluto in Sagittarius, with the stiff wind of the Gemini Full Moon pushing the sails open.

Given that the Senate is Republican controlled, it's laughable, as usual, that the White House is blaming Democrats for making America less safe and threatening retribution in the midterm elections next year. But you really do have to be living under a log to miss the fact that a Democracy that holds prisoners for years without charges, tortures prisoners, invades countries perfectly aware they pose no threat, makes up "intelligence," spies on its citizens and is known for its stolen elections...is no such thing. And this is precisely the "Democracy" we're exporting to Iraq.

The Patriot act failing is progress, not, however, victory. The revelations of spying are the long-overdue truth coming out (if you're an activist or progressive journalist, your phone being bugged is pretty much something you laugh about with your friends), and everyone who is paying attention knows that the Patriot Act provides for just such abuses. People always think it's about somebody else until they discover it's about them, that is, it's about you and me, baby, because this is our world.

The British papers and television stations are going nuts over this story and it's just one more nail in the casket of the Bush administration. The one we really need is the wood spike that will relieve us of the vampire known as Dick Cheney. That's the first order of business. Anyway, his horses out in Wyoming miss him.

Also high on my wish list is the truth about Sept. 11 coming out. The astrology chart for the event is clear that it was done by the U.S. government. In other words, the government and the terrorists show up as the same people. Fortunately, we don't need a horoscope to tell us this, because layer upon layer of fact has slowly become quite clear: the boys knew in advance, they did nothing, the Pentagon story is a heap of horse shit, and kerosene does not melt steel.

But this really is a brilliant moment. Here are some clips, and I can't wait to see what Jude and Steve Bergstein have to say about it. On a future astrological note, mark the date March 30, 2006 on your calendar. That's the time of reckoning for Cheney-Bush, give or take 48 hours.

As for spying on Americans...take a look at that little huckster's face...
