2008 KV42 for Sarah Palin
Palin's 2008 is hitting Ophiuchus from Scorpius at the border, now I do not have that precision, but looks like it stepped on the threshold.Still working at animations, third edition out, contains Buffy and most dwarf planets, most meaning some couple of dozen big ones along with H < 3 trash, also Outer Guardians. Outer Guardians file updated, gosh it is though through new classes of objects, reclassifications, I mean do I have a life here. Hopefully there are no new centaurs around, I am through with them, too small, too noisy, hahaha.
I should not touch this one 2008 KV24 since I am getting new ideas which is bad for stamina, eyes, stomach and life in general. I was mad before 1992 QB1 hit the charts but am past madness proper, this is organized sanatorium. Found new objects with similar characteristics which do not have any classifications proper and have to consult with NASA as liable prone to mistakes at that borderline. We have the orbits but some parameters are out of hmmm how do you say out of range of the normal program so one assumes LONG DISTANCE ROUNDAROUND.

Rev 20:8 and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.
MAGOG
It is time for the races just to stand against the Magog, as a clear nuclear threat against Europe has been expressed by the Russian military authorities. We are in the middle of the Olympic games as facing in incredulity the destruction of Georgia at the hands of the, we might justly say, least appealing people in the world. Here is what an astrologer and magus just can do.
REALITY RENDERING
Discreate WW3 using O5, Cascade, RTRRT and RRReikido.
Discreate Gog (Putin) with Cascade, even an array of enemies.
Let your Personal cO5mic Secretary wipe out dangerous regimes.
ASTROLOGY
In the case of astrology, we are thousands years ahead of anything in the land of Magog.
We have the Academic Zodiac and Precessed Ascendant set.
We have NASA ephemerides and support.
We know Chiron approach and eclipse path for 8/8/8.
We know the WTC was hit with Moon in Orion.
We know Russian ascendant Sextans is a mole in Vatican City.
WEST
We can rely on our forces as we did in the last war. Discreate WW3. Use the scientific zodiac. The precise horoscopes for Russia I, II and III are at our disposal with thousands of detailed maps. The Russians still rely on the obsolete 12/12 system, and are thus liable to make great mistake. This system is completely corrupt, staring with TWO SIGNS of error. It can't win. The Russians have no trained astrologers in the 16/22 system. They have no RTRRT Masters. God and NASA are on our side!

WW3
The people in my circles have been predicting this for years, I am now wholeheartedly convinced1. Introduction to the battle of Armageddon
The world has been experiencing an increasing trend of natural disasters, terrorist activities, war and political upheavals over the recent past. There is no respite to this trend or any signs of slowing down. Quite a number of us may feel a sense of helplessness as we see our world lurch forward uncontrollably towards even tougher times. A number of seers such as Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce etc. have predicted turbulent and distressing times of cataclysmic proportions. There has also been much talk about a battle between the forces of good and evil that will play out around the times we live in.
We conducted spiritual research to explore the events in the subtle dimension behind these alarming trends and what lies ahead for us.
The purpose of this article is to provide information uncovered through spiritual research about:
*
The spiritual forces at work that are orchestrating worldwide events and the times to come.
*
Measures that can be taken by humanity to minimise the impact of these events.
To some of us due to lack of any understanding about the spiritual realm, this article may seem fictional or almost like a fairy-tale. We have tried to be as objective as possible in narrating what we have perceived through our sixth sense. It is also not our intention to alarm society, but to alert and caution it. It is our plea to society to take the time to understand this article and commence their spiritual practice.
These facts have been obtained from the Universal Mind and Intellect through the medium of the highly activated sixth sense of Anjali Gadgil, seeker of the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF). The information has been checked by His Holiness Dr. Athavale for accuracy. Along with this article, we recommend that you also read the article on the Battle of good versus evil.

2. What is a subtle battle?
Forces of good and evil have existed since the beginning of the Universe. These forces exist mainly in the subtle regions of the Universe and influence the positive and negative forces on Earth almost completely. From time to time the subtle forces of evil gain enough spiritual energy to attempt to establish a demonic kingdom in the Universe. In current times, the balance of power between the forces of good and evil is 70% and 30% respectively. However the forces of evil in the Universe have once again derived enough spiritual energy to attempt to establish a demonic kingdom. The fight that ensues is known as a subtle battle or an Armageddon and its effects are being felt through all the regions of the Universe. This battle began to erupt in the subtle in 1993 and a fraction of the battle will increasingly play out on the Earth plane with catastrophic consequences for humanity.
The seriousness of this subtle battle (Armageddon) and the consequences for humanity will be of unprecedented proportions. It is for this reason, we have named this article Armageddon, which means a conflict of catastrophic proportions between good and evil. The result of the battle will be a defeat of the negative forces and an establishment of a era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind in the Universe and on Earth. The era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind on Earth will last for about a thousand years. We have explained the salient features of the era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind further down in this article.
3. Principle behind the subtle battle of Armageddon
Most of us are unaware of the fact that many of the events on Earth, which affect us at an individual or collective level, have their root cause in the spiritual realm. Let us take the example of the recent rise in natural disasters.
The primary factor contributing to the increasing trend of natural disasters is spiritual in nature. Physical factors such as greenhouse gases contribute to only 30% of the problem. In other words, the governments of the world and non-government organisations (NGOs) policing the international community’s adherence to the Kyoto protocol, though highly commendable, would at best address only a fraction of the problem. Most attempts to fix problems only at a physical and mental level without taking into account the spiritual realm will be clumsy and inefficient.
The single most important spiritual factor contributing to the rise of natural disasters, terrorism and political upheaval is a rise in the raja and tama subtle basic components. This increase is primarily due to:
*
A step up in activity by ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) in the current times
*
Society that is very materialistic with hardly any spiritual practice.
The entire world is like a puppet in the hands of positive and negative forces from the subtle realm. Good people act as per the will of God, whereas the evil people are puppets in the hands of ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.). The good people on Earth will not be able to live in peace unless the ghosts are overpowered. People with lower spiritual energy who are not necessarily good or bad are easily affected by ghosts and controlled by them. As a result, they too are under the control of ghosts and contribute to the raja and tama. In any case, they get caught in the crossfire between the good and forces of evil .
Another major cause for the rise in raja and tama is the state of society with regards to Righteousness. According to an evolved Saint Adi Shankaracharya from India (8th - 9th century AD), Righteousness (Dharma) is that which accomplishes three tasks:
1.
Keeping the social system in an excellent condition
2.
Bringing about the worldly progress of every living being
3.
Causing progress in the spiritual realm as well
Spiritual progress is said to occur only when spiritual practice happens in accordance with the five basic principles of spiritual practice. More often than not societies of the world have failed in meeting the three conditions. Negative elements in society significantly increase the rot eating away into the fabric of society.

4. The severity of the battle of Armageddon
Unknown to most people, the Universe is in the midst of a subtle battle of epic proportions. Most of this Armageddon is and will be fought in the subtle realms. The battle in the physical realm i.e. on Earth is also mostly in the subtle dimension. Hence awareness about its occurrence is limited only to those who are highly spiritually evolved people on Earth.
Only a fraction of Armageddon will be experienced on Earth. But this fraction itself will be catastrophic and the cause of mass destruction. We will physically witness this fraction of Armageddon in the form of the unleashing of forces of nature and the World War 3 where in weapons of mass destruction will be used. The rise in natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes and volcanoes will be primarily due to the rise in raja and tama fuelled by unrighteousness on Earth. The people who precipitate the World War 3 will be under the control of ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.).
The above graph gives us an understanding of the scale of the battle. If we consider the severity of World War 1(i.e. the combined physical and subtle elements involved) to be 1, then the severity of the present battle in its infancy (i.e. in the year 1993) itself was 5. All the major disasters and terrorist activities of the past few years are tell-tale signs directly related to the subtle battle. Ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) possess individuals that have a mentality to harm society and carry out terrorist activities through them on mankind. The fact that the severity of the battle will relentlessly increase up to 44 units in 2017 gives us an indication of the severity of the battle. It will then rapidly come down to 1 in 2025.
^Top
5. Who are the forces of good fighting this battle of Armageddon?
1993: In the ensuing battle of Armageddon, the forces of good are being led by the Paraatpar Guru ( evolved spiritual guide of above 90% spiritual level) living on the Earth plane. At the start of the battle in 1993, only the Paraatpar Guru and a few seekers were fighting the battle.
Their participation is entirely at the subtle level, in that all the participants just act out automatically as per God’s wishes without being aware that their acts are a part of this battle of Armageddon. Thus all the participants are not conscious at the physical level of their involvement in the battle. The various acts in the course of the battle happen through them automatically as per God’s wish mostly at the subtle level and to some extent in the tangible dimension like acts for the spread of Spirituality.
2003: By 2003 the number of seekers of God accompanying the spiritually evolved guide in the fight rose to 35. Their role was mostly one of implementing God’s wishes in the gross tangible dimension. The forces of good progressively increase in quantity and quality as the subtle battle intensifies. The battle in the subtle is fought purely with spiritual power and has no physical element to it.
2004: From 2004 onwards the severity of the forces of evil and consequently of Armageddon stepped up considerably. Hence positive forces from the subtle region of Heaven joined the battle. They helped in various forms beginning from yellow divine particles and progressing to particles of divine consciousness, frequencies of light and frequencies of colour of deities to counter the negative forces. This progressive change in form of the positive energies basically signifies that the forces from Heaven joining the battle are becoming more and more subtle and hence more powerful.
2008: From 2008 as the severity of Armageddon rises further, the forces from Heaven will prove to be insufficient and hence their participation will cease.
2009 – 2013: In 2009, two spiritually evolved beings from the subtle region of Mahaloka (a higher region in the Universe) will also join the battle. By then approximately 400 seekers of God would be fighting alongside the Paraatpar Guru. In 2010, a third evolved being from Mahaloka will join the battle. The participation of the evolved beings will be in the form of divine particles progressing to subtle frequencies, subtle rays, divine frequencies and brilliant subtle constellations in 2013, i.e. the Divine help will be progressively more subtle and powerful.
2014 – 2018: As the subtle battle intensifies to 38 units in 2014, seekers subtly fighting in Armageddon will not be able to participate any longer as it would be beyond their spiritual capacity. They would not be able to receive and tolerate the immense spiritual energy supplied by God in order to meet the need of that level of battle.
In 2014, two more divine beings from the next higher region i.e. Janaloka (a higher region in the Universe) will join the subtle battle. Their participation will be in the form of divine particles progressing to subtle frequencies, subtle flames, auras of light to frequencies of light by 2018.
2019: Over the next few years as Armageddon reaches its zenith in 2019 up to 25 divine beings from up to the region of Tapaloka (a higher region in the Universe) will join the battle against forces of evil from the 7th region of Hell. After that the number will gradually reduce because at this stage many Saints on Earth itself will have evolved.
Despite the reduction in the severity of the battle from 44 in 2017 to 30 in 2019, the number of divine beings participating in the battle will be 25 in 2019 compared to just 10 in 2017. This is because in 2019 in addition to the destructive work against the negative evil forces, positive work for the establishment of era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind also needs to be undertaken. For the same reason following this period the particles from Satyaloka (a higher region in the Universe) will start appearing.
2021: In 2021, the establishment of the era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind will begin. In 2023, there will be arrival of particles from Satyaloka, the subtlest and purest of the 14 main subtle regions.
2024: From 2024 onwards participation from the subtle positive regions will stop as it will no longer be required.

6. The consequences of the battle of Armageddon
The battle of Armageddon being waged is mostly in the subtle. However it is currently adversely affecting the world albeit mostly at an intangible level. The consequences of the subtle war are mainly in the form of seeds sown for further rapid and progressive deterioration of the world at various levels. This works in two ways:
*
It decreases the overall sattvikta in the world.
*
It enhances the hold of the forces of evil on mankind.
The main stages of Armageddon are described below:
stages
Since 1993, ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) began to sow the seeds for the degradation of society and acceleration of unrighteousness. In most cases, the world had already set the process of degradation in place. This was due to a rise in man’s materialistic nature and lack of Righteousness. Aided by ghosts, the downslide was accelerated to an unprecedented intensity and speed. Over time these seeds will take root and increase the rot in society. As society becomes more and more unrighteous, they will play right into the hands of ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) increasing the raja and tama in the environment. This increase in raja and tama will cause the destabilisation of the world as we know it. It will culminate in natural disasters and the Third World War.
The following are examples of a few mechanisms that have already been set into motion by ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.). The chart also gives other events that will come to pass in the run up to the establishment of the era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind.
Year
Event
2000
The seed of intense domestic quarrels sown in society
2001
The seed of increase in anti-social elements in society
2002
The seed of increase in malpractices in places of worship which accelerate the increase of raja and tama. Places of worship contribute to the sattva component in society. When malpractices happen there it reduces the sattvikta and thereby helps increase the raja and tama.
2006
The seed of beginning of destruction of places of worship
2011
The seed of steps by terrorists under the control of ghosts to destroy spiritual organisations
2014
A high incidence of natural calamities
2015
Havoc by floods and volcanoes
2016
A massive earthquake in Pakistan
2017
Countries in the Middle East razed to the ground in bomb blasts
2018
America, China and Japan hit by war and an unprecedented loss of innumerable lives
2019
Loss of supremacy of politicians and rush of mankind to Saints for their rescue
2020
Decrease in the destructive process and predominance of particles of divine consciousness in the environment
2021
The seed of times conducive and complementary to the establishment of the era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind created
2022
Experience of pleasantness and enthusiasm in the environment
2023
Settling down of the environment
2024
Internal and external settling down of life
2025
The seed of improved spiritual practice and spiritual journey towards God-realisation by seekers. Commencement of the era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind.
^Top
Note: At the current rate the world is going:
*
The probability of this catastrophe being avoided is 1%
*
The intensity may vary by +/- 10%
*
The timing of the event may vary by +/- 10% within the overall 25 year time frame.
6.1 World War 3
The Third World War will begin in 2010 and continue for about 9 years till 2019. The wars that will be fought within that period will all be linked. However it may not be readily apparent to the world. Towards the end of this period, weapons of mass destruction will be used. There will be an unprecedented loss of life where approximately 60% of the world’s population will be reduced. Some countries will be affected more than others. Needless to say in a highly interconnected world all countries will be affected. The Third World War will be triggered mainly due to religious fanaticism. Ghosts and negative forces will use this vulnerability in humans to push them over the edge.
In all the three world wars ghosts from progressively higher regions of Hell have been behind humankind wanting to annihilate each other.
*
World War 1: Sorcerers from the 2nd region of Hell.
*
World War 2: Sorcerers primarily from the 3rd region of Hell took part in the orchestration of the Second World War. Hitler for example throughout his tenure in power was possessed by a sorcerer from the 5th region of Hell. This was also the reason for his dramatic rise to power. Throughout his reign the sorcerer was fully manifest.
*
World War 3: Sorcerers from the 4th region of hell will be behind the Third World War that will play out in the physical realm. However in the subtle battle, sorcerers from the 7th region of Hell will take part.
6.2 Role of India in World War 3 and the battle of Armageddon
From times immemorial, India has been the spiritual centre of the world. Spiritual research has revealed that in the Armageddon that is unfolding, India will hold centre stage from a spiritual perspective. In the course of the war, negative forces will instigate neighbouring countries to attack India to destabilise the pivotal role that it will play. Approximately 50% of the Indian population will perish as a result.
7. Can this catastrophe be avoided?
The catastrophe that is predicted to happen is mainly because the basic subtle raja-tama component in the world has increased to such unprecedented levels, that urgent intervention by God is needed so that the world can be cleansed in order to be able to continue peacefully. It follows that if mankind makes a supreme effort to adapt its lifestyle to a more sattva predominant one, the cleansing process will not be warranted or will happen only to a lesser extent. This can be achieved if majority of mankind mends its ways drastically and reduces its contribution to raja-tama. Or it can be better and earlier done, if people focus on increasing the basic subtle sattva component. Thus the catastrophe can only be avoided if people earnestly start to practice Spirituality. It is imperative that in order to make a difference, their spiritual practice needs to take a more universal form rather than a sectarian form.
Spiritual practice according to the five basic principles of spiritual practice is the most conducive means for growth in the current era. Religions that preach that their way is the only way to God run the risk of violating the five basic principles of spiritual practice.
Depending on our collective spiritual practice and also if some highly evolved Saints intervene, the year and severity of the events can change to some extent. Seekers of God who have through their spiritual practice attained a spiritual level of 60% and above will be protected to varying degrees.

8. Salient features of the era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind
The upside of battle of Armageddon is that humanity will finally experience peace on Earth which will last for almost 1000 years. The battle will be a spiritual cleansing of the world preparing people for a new kind of sattvik world which will radically differ from the old one. In a way, this will be an ushering of a mini Satyayuga within the main era of Kaliyuga. While it will be nothing compared to the sattvikta of the main era of Satyayuga (at the beginning of the Universe), it will be a period of immense spiritual renewal for mankind.
The following are some of the features of the new era that some of us will have the privilege to usher in.
*
Spiritual level: After the reduction in the world’s population with Armageddon, the mode spiritual level of the world will rise to 30% compared to its present 20%. A sudden 10% rise in spiritual level across the world’s population is quite staggering and is reflective of the amount of loss of life. Please read our article on spiritual level, which gives the current breakdown of the world population by spiritual level.
*
Importance in life: A high degree of importance will be given to spiritual knowledge and spiritual maturity in assessing a person’s ability. The objective of life for people will be skewed towards spiritual growth for the realisation of God. There will be importance given to spiritual strength rather than physical or intellectual. Accordingly progress will not be measured in terms of riches. The view about wealth will change. It will be viewed as purely a means and not an end in itself.
*
Governing system: Democracy will lose its status as the preferred type of governing system. For example in India, a benevolent leadership under the guidance of a Saint will form the government. The modus operandi of leadership will be in line with Righteousness (Dharma). There will be no need for elections. The seer guides of the governing body will transparently point out the leaders. The rest of the world frustrated with its failed experiments at communism, dictatorship and democracy will look to India’s example and try to implement this new type of government to the extent possible for them.
*
Closeness: There will be unity amongst all nations. People will feel a genuine closeness with other cultures and nationalities. This will stem from the spiritual maturity of the world’s population. It will be the basis of an innate spiritual understanding of the oneness of all of mankind.
*
Education: Education systems will include Spiritual science and codes of Righteousness in their curriculum. Modern science will morph to take into account the spiritual dimension.
*
Medical science: Medical sciences will be rewritten. They will now include the spiritual dimension in analysing the root cause of a problem. Ayurveda will become commonly accepted in the western world. The attitude and perspectives of people practicing medicine will change. For example, they will begin to question if a patient is spiritually deserving of an organ transplant or a heart bypass. What will a person do with the reprieve granted to him by a successful surgery? Will he squander the extra years that he has by watching television, aimless chit-chatter, parties etc? Even after getting a reprieve people rarely think of utilising life for realising God (the basic goal of life). In other words they will be considered as increasing the burden on Earth. If one needs an extended lifespan for spiritual practice, God grants it automatically.
*
Judicial systems: Judicial systems and processes will change dramatically. Now we have courts of law, later we will have courts of justice. There will be no need for lawyers as judges will be spiritually evolved and will be able to intuitively perceive the truth in the issue at hand. Their highly activated sixth sense (ESP) will allow them to plainly see who is lying and who is telling the truth. In short justice will be served instantly and without spending a cent.
*
Art: Artists will not undertake art for the sake of arts, but as spiritual practice to get closer and take others closer to God.
*
Security: As a nation based on Righteousness is God-made, God only takes care of its security. This means that God Himself guides the leaders about the appropriate measures to be undertaken.
*
Environment: Nature is influenced heavily by man’s actions. As man becomes progressively sattvik through spiritual practice nature automatically becomes conducive to man. There will be a complete reduction in weird weather phenomenon that we are experiencing in current times.
*
Family planning: Governments will not need to undertake family planning policies. There will be an automatic adherence to family planning in society. The holy Vedic scriptures have also advocated a single child but not because of fear of scarcity of food etc., but to impress the importance of control on lust to grow spiritually.
8.1 The importance of this era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind
For mankind this will be the last era of rekindling Spirituality in mankind until the end of the current and last era of the Universe (Kaliyuga). Mankind will have to make do with the spiritual understanding that will be gained from these thousand years. After that man will again plunge into a negative vortex till the end of Kaliyuga and the dissolution of the Universe.
We live in momentous times – amidst changing of an era. Our prayer is that the seekers of God in this world reflect on this information. We must bear in mind that with intense spiritual practice according to the five basic laws of spiritual practice we can reduce the intensity of Armageddon.

Chiron Attacks http://lulu.com/astrology Chiron close-up & Iran campaign
Thursday, August 7, 2008Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran
Operation Brimstone ended only one week ago. This was the joint US/UK/French naval war games in the Atlantic Ocean preparing for a naval blockade of Iran and the likely resulting war in the Persian Gulf area. The massive war games included a US Navy supercarrier battle group, an US Navy expeditionary carrier battle group, a Royal Navy carrier battle group, a French nuclear hunter-killer submarine plus a large number of US Navy cruisers, destroyers and frigates playing the "enemy force".
The lead American ship in these war games, the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN71) and its Carrier Strike Group Two (CCSG-2) are now headed towards Iran along with the USS Ronald Reagon (CVN76) and its Carrier Strike Group Seven (CCSG-7) coming from Japan.
They are joining two existing USN battle groups in the Gulf area: the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN72) with its Carrier Strike Group Nine (CCSG-9); and the USS Peleliu (LHA-5) with its expeditionary strike group.
Likely also under way towards the Persian Gulf is the USS Iwo Jima (LHD-7) and its expeditionary strike group, the UK Royal Navy HMS Ark Royal (R07) carrier battle group, assorted French naval assets including the nuclear hunter-killer submarine Amethyste and French Naval Rafale fighter jets on-board the USS Theodore Roosevelt. These ships took part in the just completed Operation Brimstone.
The build up of naval forces in the Gulf will be one of the largest multi-national naval armadas since the First and Second Gulf Wars. The intent is to create a US/EU naval blockade (which is an Act of War under international law) around Iran (with supporting air and land elements) to prevent the shipment of benzene and certain other refined oil products headed to Iranian ports. Iran has limited domestic oil refining capacity and imports 40% of its benzene. Cutting off benzene and other key products would cripple the Iranian economy. The neo-cons are counting on such a blockade launching a war with Iran.
The US Naval forces being assembled include the following:
Carrier Strike Group Nine
USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN72) nuclear powered supercarrier
with its Carrier Air Wing Two
Destroyer Squadron Nine:

USS Gridley (DDG101) guided missile destroyer
USS Decatur (DDG73) guided missile destroyer
USS Thach (FFG43) guided missile frigate
USNS Rainier (T-AOE-7) fast combat support ship
Also likely to join the battle armada:
UK Royal Navy HMS Ark Royal Carrier Strike Group with assorted guided missile destroyers and frigates, nuclear hunter-killer submarines and support ships
French Navy nuclear powered hunter-killer submarines (likely the Amethyste and perhaps others), plus French Naval Rafale fighter jets operating off of the USS Theodore Roosevelt as the French Carrier Charles de Gaulle is in dry dock, and assorted surface warships
Various other US Navy warships and submarines and support ships. The following USN ships took part (as the "enemy" forces) in Operation Brimstone and several may join in:
USS San Jacinto (CG56) guided missile cruiser
USS Anzio (CG68) guided missile cruiser
USS Normandy (CG60) guided missile cruiser
USS Carney (DDG64) guided missile destroyer
USS Oscar Austin (DDG79) guided missile destroyer
USS Winston S. Churchill (DDG81) guided missile destroyer
USS Carr (FFG52) guided missile frigate
The USS Iwo Jima and USS Peleliu Expeditionary Strike Groups have USMC Harrier jump jets and an assortment of assault and attack helicopters. The Expeditionary Strike Groups have powerful USMC Expeditionary Units with amphibious armor and ground forces trained for operating in shallow waters and in seizures of land assets, such as Qeshm Island (a 50 mile long island off of Bandar Abbas in the Gulf of Hormuz and headquarters of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps).
The large and very advanced nature of the US Naval warships is not only directed at Iran. There is a great fear that Russia and China may oppose the naval and air/land blockade of Iran. If Russian and perhaps Chinese naval warships escort commercial tankers to Iran in violation of the blockade it could be the most dangerous at-sea confrontation since the Cuban Missile Crisis. The US and allied Navies, by front loading a Naval blockade force with very powerful guided missile warships and strike carriers is attempting to have a force so powerful that Russia and China will not be tempted to mess with. This is a most serious game of military brinkmanship with major nuclear armed powers that have profound objections to the neo-con grand strategy and to western control of all of the Middle East's oil supply.
The Russian Navy this spring sent a major battle fleet into the Mediterranean headed by the modern aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov and the flagship of its Black Sea Fleet, the Guided Missile Heavy Cruiser Moskva. This powerful fleet has at least 11 surface ships and unknown numbers of subs and can use the Russian naval facility at Syria's Tartous port for resupply. The Admiral Kuznetsov carries approximately 47 warplanes and 10 helicopters. The warplanes are mostly the powerful Su-33, a naval version (with mid-air refueling capability) of the Su-27 family. While the Su-33 is a very powerful warplane it lacks the power of the stealth USAF F-22. However, the Russians insist that they have developed a plasma based system that allows them to stealth any aircraft and a recent incident where Russian fighters were able to appear unannounced over a US Navy carrier battle group tends to confirm their claims. The Su-33 can be armed with the 3M82 Moskit sea-skimming missile (NATO code name SS-N-22 Sunburn) and the even more powerful P-800 Oniks (also named Yakhonts; NATO code name SS-N-26 Onyx). Both missiles are designed to kill US Navy supercarriers by getting past the cruiser/destroyer screen and the USN point-defense Phalanx system by using high supersonic speeds and violent end maneuvers. Russian subs currently use the underwater rocket VA-111 Shkval (Squall), which is fired from standard 533mm torpedo tubes and reaches a speed of 360kph (230mph) underwater. There is no effective countermeasures to this system and no western counterpart.
A strategic diversion has been created for Russia. The Republic of Georgia, with US backing, is actively preparing for war on South Ossetia. The South Ossetia capital has been shelled and a large Georgian tank force has been heading towards the border. Russia has stated that it will not sit by and allow the Georgians to attack South Ossetia. The Russians are great chess players and this game may not turn out so well for the neo-cons. UPDATE 8 August 2008 ~ War has broken out between Georgia and South Ossetia. At least 10 Russian troops have been killed and 30 wounded and 2 Russian fighter jets downed. American Marines, a thousand of them, have recently been in Georgia training the Georgian military forces. Several European nations stopped Bush and others from allowing Georgia into NATO. Russia is moving a large military force with armor towards the area. This could get bad, and remember it is just a strategic diversion....but one that could have horrific effects. Link to story "Russia sends forces into Georgia rebel conflict". FURTHER UPDATE ~ Russian military forces in active combat; now total of four Russian fighter jets reported downed. ADDITIONAL UPDATE ~ Georgia calls for US help; Russian Air Force bombs Georgian air bases. DEBKA, the Israeli strategy and military site, states that Israeli military officers are advising the Georgian armed forces in combat operations and that 1,000 Israelis are in-combat on the side of Georgia at this time.
Kuwait has activated its "Emergency War Plan" as it and other Gulf nations prepare for the likelihood of a major regional war in the Middle East involving weapons of mass destruction.
The two-ton elephant in the living room of the neo-con strategy is the advanced biowar (ABW) that Iran, and to a lessor extent Syria, has. This places the motherlands of the major neo-con nations (America, France, the United Kingdom), as well as Israel, in grave danger. When the Soviet Union fell the Iranians hired as many out-of-work former Soviet advanced biowar experts as possible. In the last 15 or so years they have helped to develop a truly world class ABW program utilizing recombination DNA genetic engineering technology to create a large number of man made killer viruses. This form of weapon system does not require high tech military delivery systems. The viruses are sub-microscopic and once seeded in a population use the population itself as vectors. Seeding can be done without notice in shopping malls, churches, and other public places. The only real defense to an advanced global strategic biowar attack is to lock down the population as rapidly as possible and let those infected die off.
Unless the public gets it act together and forces the neo-cons to stop the march to yet another war in the Middle East we are apt to see a truly horrific nightmare unfold in OUR COUNTRIES.

Do something about this ~ email this article to as many of your friends as possible and post it on as many sites as possible, demand that your political leaders stop this nonsense before it kills us all. The response of average people all over the world in emailing this article to friends and posting it on blogs and web sites everywhere is totally amazing. It is a real happening that I don't think has ever happened to this extent before. People, please start demanding of your elected leaders in Parliament/Congress that they oppose what is happening. The world is sliding into war as the war leaders hide behind the main stream media's attention focused on the Olympics. Demand that your local newspapers, television and radio stations begin giving real coverage to what is happening in Russia/Georgia and the Middle East. Do something while you still can.

EU in War
The build up of naval forces in the Gulf will be one of the largest multi-national naval armadas since the First and Second Gulf Wars. The intent is to create a US/EU naval blockade (which is an Act of War under international law) around Iran (with supporting air and land elements) to prevent the shipment of benzene and certain other refined oil products headed to Iranian ports. Iran has limited domestic oil refining capacity and imports 40% of its benzene. Cutting off benzene and other key products would cripple the Iranian economy. The neo-cons are counting on such a blockade launching a war with Iran.Fair Horoscopes
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When British rock legend David Bowie came to
America for his first tour in 1973, he said he felt like a fly in a glass of
milk. He was half-drowning in a flood of interesting new sensations and
perceptions, while at the same time he was greedily drinking it all in,
stoked with fascinated joy. According to my astrological projections, Leo,
you're in that fly-in-the-milk state yourself, or will soon be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The light in your eyes looks a little foggy,
Virgo. The fire in your belly seems to be smoldering, and your brain has
been hiccupping. At least your heart isn't exactly broken. (Though I'm
tempted to make suggestions about how to fix it anyway.) Am I worried?
Not at all. After the nonstop breakthroughs you enjoyed there for a while,
I expected that you would eventually need time to slow down and let
everything sink in. So I suggest that you cultivate a state of low-key
contentment as your deep mind integrates the transformations you set in
motion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I'm not a fan of renowned free-market guru
Milton Friedman, who died in 2006. His philosophy has wreaked more
suffering on the world than any since Communism. (Read Naomi Klein's
*The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism* for the gross
details.) There's one particular keystone of his belief system that is
especially important for you to rebel against in the coming weeks. He said
that "only a crisis -- actual or perceived -- produces real change." In the
name of all you hold holy, Libra, I ask you to prove him wrong. Show
yourself and everyone who looks to you for inspiration that real change
can be motivated by an exuberant lust for life -- by a generous longing to
risk adventures that will yield greater rewards.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The guy who gave his name to North and
South America was a pickle salesman and writer as well as an explorer.
After a stint in Spain selling his vitamin C-rich pickles to outbound ships,
Amerigo Vespucci got to travel to the New World in 1499 and 1502. The
stories he penned about his adventures there were highly imaginative, like
his description of giant native women with huge breasts who employed
poisonous fluids extracted from insects to super-size their husbands'
penises. I nominate Amerigo to be your role model in the coming weeks,
Scorpio. May you, too, do what comes natural and be your funky self in
ways that lead to glory and renown. (My source for the info about
Amerigo is Tony Horwitz's book *A Voyage Long and Strange:
Rediscovering the New World.*)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): "Two chemicals called actin and myosin
evolved eons ago to allow the muscles in insect wings to contract and
relax," writes Deepak Chopra in *The Book of Secrets.* "Today, the same
two proteins are responsible for the beating of the human heart."
Likewise, Sagittarius, actions you take or ideas you embrace in the
coming days will send reverberations deep into your future. They will
show up many years hence in altered form, but imprinted with the
essence you give them now. This is your chance to bestow a profound
blessing on the person you will later become.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Here's a passage from Kurt Vonnegut's
novel *Breakfast of Champions:* "Kilgore Trout once wrote a short story
which was a dialogue between two pieces of yeast. They were discussing
the possible purposes of life as they ate sugar and suffocated in their own
excrement. Because of their limited intelligence, they never came close to
guessing that they were making champagne." This scenario has some
resemblances to what you're doing, Capricorn. Fortunately, you're much
smarter than the two pieces of yeast, and so you will not do the
equivalent of drowning in crap. But I bet you'll create something
comparable to champagne.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): "The question of evil," writes psychologist
James Hillman, "refers primarily to the anaesthetized heart, the heart that
has no reaction to what it faces, thereby turning the variegated sensuous
face of the world into monotony, sameness, oneness." Your assignment in
the coming week, Aquarius, is to triumph over this kind of evil in yourself.
By whatever ingenious and imaginative means you can dream up, you
must awaken your heart fully to the unpredictable, ever-shifting beauty
and ugliness you encounter. Drink it all in like a thirsty wanderer who has
just emerged from a long trek lost in the desert. [The source of Hillman's
quote is his book *The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World.*]
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): "Dear Rob: If you were, like me, setting out
on a ten-year project to become a beautiful truth-teller, having the simple
goal of actually expressing the things that Everyone Ought To Say But
Doesn't, what would you do? Other than to bother your favorite truth-
tellers for advice, of course! - Aspiring Fount of Truth." Dear Aspiring
Fount: In its highest expression, the Piscean style of telling the truth is
ripe with emotional intelligence and a deep thoughtfulness that's devoted
to staying focused on the big picture. One of the best ways to increase
your mastery of this approach is to regularly tell yourself the truth about
yourself with kick-ass kindness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do you get aroused from squeezing balloons
until they explode? Do you quiver with delight as you watch popcorn pop?
Have you ever been patient enough to stand in front of a ripe flower bud
for hours to witness its slow explosion into full opening? If you answered
yes to any of those questions, you're in for an orgasmically pleasing week,
Aries. Lots of things are going to change into something else through the
process of eruption or sprouting or bursting forth. I bet you'll dream of
undersea volcanoes spurting.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In my vision of your ideal future, you would
spend the next two weeks both way out on the frontier and yet close to
home. Paradoxical? Yes, but that's the magic and mystery of the unusual
opportunity you have before you. Don't just take my word for it, Taurus:
Meditate on how you could wander free on the outskirts of everything
you know even as you feel as stable and secure as a monarch in your
castle. Be on a far-flung adventure even as you draw deeply from the
mother lode. Enjoy the pleasures of unexplored territory as you draw on
the power of the familiar.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Although the platypus is technically a furry
mammal, a new study of its genetic code reveals that it also has some
qualities common to birds and reptiles. It lays eggs and has venom like a
snake and a bill like a duck. Sounds like it's the perfect creature to serve
as your totem in the coming week, Gemini. Life will bring you unexpected
mixtures and improbable hybrids. You won't be able to make sense of
your experience if you rely on your usual categories. And I think you'll find
that the best way to attract good fortune will be to weave together
threads of different colors and textures.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Write down five exciting things you love to do
or think about. Take this list with you everywhere you go. On another
piece of paper, name five fears or unpleasant thoughts that demoralize
you. Put this list at the back of your closet. For the next seven days, try
to refrain from letting your mind wander to the things on the bad list.
Meanwhile, undertake an aggressive campaign to cultivate, seek out, and
enjoy the five exciting things that you love to do and think about. In fact,
any time you notice your attention veering toward the negative stuff,
immediately steer it toward the positive. Don't worry, this exercise won't
turn you into a brain-dead optimist. After all, you'll only do it for a week.
The items on the second list will still be there when you're done. Or will
they? Maybe they will have mutated into something more manageable.

Capricorn~Dec. 22 - Jan. 19 You are conservative and afraid of taking risks. You don't do much of anything, or too little of everything. There has never been a Capricorn of any importance. Capricorns should avoid standing in one place for too long as they tend to take root and become trees.
