DC Madam: A Bloody Raw Deal

The DC Madame was our client.

Le Baraquel (a pseudonym) and I agreed to help out “pro bono” but had deep worries in working with this chart, and today’s reported suicide leaves us grieved, saddened for this dainty sort of person whose privacy mattered more than her reputation and life.

While Le Baraquel consulted her by Skype from Asia, I had her as a guest for dinner and a chart reading, and found her to have a head slightly in a fantasy-land, and I guess if you are waiting for the government to release your several millions in property holdings, you would stay in dreamland too, for as long as the situation was undecided.

I clicked on Drudge and saw the DC Madam had committed suicide. I know for a fact that astrologer, Claire-France Perez knows her and thought to call her when the news broke but figured others would be doing the same thing so I waited a few hours.

But when I read she killed herself in a shed I just shook my head. A shed? A shed!!!!

I am sorry by my Italian-ness and my criminal mind thinks that is ridiculous. Upscale this and that do not kill themselves in sheds for Godsakes! I called cf.

I asked her if she thought this woman the type to kill herself - Claire-France had actually warned her of danger due the retrograde Mars (and told me the same some months ago on the phone).

As far as I am concerned the shed part of this equation is a clear communication. Claire-France is going to write about this for my blog - Stay tuned.

When one person suffers is another one spared?

From Wikipedia:

“Elizabeth Ann Smart (born 1987) was abducted from her Salt Lake City, Utah bedroom on June 5, 2002 at the age of 14. She was found alive nine months later on March 12, 2003 in Sandy, Utah, about 18 miles from her home, in the company of Brian David Mitchell and Wanda Ileen Barzee, who were indicted for her kidnapping but ruled unfit to stand trial. Her abduction and recovery were widely reported in North American media and internationally and were the subject of a made-for-TV movie and a published book.”

Elizabeth Smart kidnapping

Here’s Mars in Cancer square all the Aries out in the world. Commerce City is the industrial side of Denver CO, home of the whore truck stop.

“I heard on the news this couple in Commerce City got arrested, P. They were arguing in public over which gang their kid should belong to when they grew up. They had a baby I guess and they were fighting it out and someone called the police who took them away.”

“Hmm.”

“Yeah, can you imagine? Which gang should your kid be allowed to join? What have we come to? I’d I was there, I’d have gotten right in on the fight. Know what I’d have said?

“What?”

“I’d have yelled out, APPLE DUMPLING GANG! PUT HIM IN THE APPLE DUMPLING GANG!”

::snort::

I was talking to the soldier the other day or rather he was talking to me about politics and he asked what I thought about something.”I don’t know. I don’t think about that stuff at all. I don’t listen to any of it, I don’t think it matters.”

Silence.

“Well I don’t. I don’t care what Obama said. I don’t care what Hilary thought or what some talking head is saying on the news tonight. I don’t track any of that; I don’t think it’s real. Do you think it’s real?”

No answer.

“Look, I’m sorry. I know you watch this stuff like a hawk but I do not. I watch things that are real. I watch the dollar for example. I watch the price of gold. I watch the price of oil for Godsakes! I see it’s going to break $100 a barrel and that’s supposed to be a big deal? Well now it’s at $112 and I know the effects of this first hand. I worked for Frito Lay for years. I know what happens when the price of gas goes up. I told you I saw 12 flour tortillas priced at $4.65 in the store last week. How are people supposed to pay $5 for a stack of flour and water? Tortillas are poverty food! People are going to get to the store and find they can’t afford to buy food. Now that is real and what some guy on CNN is saying to fill up air time is of no consequence whatsoever as far as I am concerned. How long can we stay in denial? Forever? Somehow I don’t think so.”

If you’re the type to pay attention, what do you track as indicators of where we are headed?

Wonder if this is going to catch on…

From the Quad City Times

Truckers ‘going broke’ and threatening to strike

“What started as a small, online grassroots effort now appears to have the potential for something bigger.

Dan Little, the owner/operator of a livestock hauling company in Carrollton, Mo., estimated Tuesday that at least 1,000 other truckers from across the United States have committed so far to joining him in a strike on April 1…”

There is actually a pretty good chance of this happening. The writers (Virgo) stopped work (Saturn) didn’t they? Why not the people who transport… everything?

Most of you know I edit the Top 10 Sources Of Astrology News. Since Saturn went into Virgo, I have taken the job more seriously. I spend more time looking for content and editing what is there. I take one step which leads to another.

For example I started to incorporate videos a couple months ago. Eventually I tried to find and feature one daily and now I try to keep one on the front page at all times because I have seen the traffic increase because of them. The extra work is paying off.

We became a source for google news a couple months back and I am pretty sure when I link astrology-themed content in the mainstream news, it does drive traffic to the article which results in what? Well I am pretty sure it results in more astrology in the mainstream news! So I am going to keep doing what I am doing, working hard on this and allowing it to unfold but my news today is this: As of right now, we are the number one page on all of Top 10! Hooray! I am so proud to be part of this.

Thanks to all who contribute content or link in support and as always, please feel free to recommend sources of astrology-themed content (including your own). This is always appreciated as I need all the help I can get!

Indigo of the Top 10 site emailed today to let me know that my baby, The Top 10 Sources Of Astrology News is currently the number 4 most popular page on the site. This is thrilling! And ironically I was thinking about it at the gym before I got home and got the mail and thought I would ask the astrology bloggers out there to send me links to some of their favorite blogs, written in the past.

Thing with blogging is the articles tend to get lost a month after they are written. For example, I would estimate only 10% of my blog is indexed by google which makes most my work pretty much inaccessible. And I am working hard to keep that page varied and interesting and it would help me to have a cache of things to link to so please accept my invitation to put together a collection of links to your stuff and fire it off in an email.

For astrologers who don’t keep a blog, as always your suggestions for articles that would be appropriate on the page are always welcome and appreciated. And for people who just like to read astrology-themed content, you are also welcome to make suggestions (There is an email link on the page)

If you missed the last update, I want to mention again that Astrology News is now included as a source for Google news so we are really making headway. Matter of fact, at the moment we are even more popular than Britney Spears over there so something is going right.

Thank you and hearty congrats to everyone who has contributed!

Here’s my (most recent) rant on state of publishing, gossip etc. - Jupiter And Pluto Leaving Sagittarius For Capricorn: The Paparazzi, George Clooney, Dead Babies, Cocaine And The Shadow Side

Seems Stephen King has similar feelings on the situation - From Time.com : Q&A - Talking with Stephen King

Here are some quotes:

“You guys are just covering - what do they call it - the scream of the peacock, and you’re missing the whole fox hunt.” Like waterboarding [or] where all the money went that we poured into Iraq. It just seems to disappear. And yet you get this coverage of who’s gonna get custody of Britney’s kids? Whether or not Lindsay drank at her twenty-first birthday party, and all this other shit.”

and

“I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy. We’ve switched from a culture that was interested in manufacturing, economics, politics - trying to play a serious part in the world - to a culture that’s really entertainment-based. I mean, I know people who can tell you who won the last four seasons on American Idol and they don’t know who their f—— Representatives are.”

Plenty more where that came from -> Stephen King on Time.com

A couple days ago George Clooney spoke about the paparazzi breaking laws and putting celebrities in danger…

“What they’re doing is illegal, its high speed chases and they’re competing with each other. They’re not trying to catch me doing something stupid, they’re trying to create me doing something stupid. You don’t get to break all these laws and then say ‘I’m just doing my job.’ The guys that commit all these crimes are rewarded for it. It creates bounty hunters in a way. “

“I am the son of an anchorman. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s rights. Take your pictures but don’t go 60 mph down a one way street. Don’t cause injury to people who aren’t involved.”
