A vision of a country driving all around was merely hinted at by WW2, since we were coming out of a depression where few people could afford cars. But those who had them enjoyed traveling great distances and seeing the sights.
The Bush patriarch, Prescott, tabs young Milhouse to be his California cohort in Capital gains and capitol crimes. It was 1941 and with this alliance, there is a powerful oil baron game afoot. Bu(shNi)xon needed a third member from Michigan, so they bought a used Ford and made sure he was on the Warren commission and promised him a great future.
In the meantime, Nixon, working as Vice president, helped increase America's consumption of oil during the car boom of the 50's and 60's. America was still producing enough oil and gas to supply itself for a while but with Tricky Dick playing dirty politics around the globe, he soon fell afoul of the Arabs, setting up the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Those too young to remember need to know it was a ploy to extort the gasoline consuming public and jack up the prices. Lines for rationed gas were sometimes a block long and you could only get on alternate days. I remember a drought around then, too.
The CIA installed Shah of Iran was causing a lot of trouble and prepared the way for a fundamentalist backlash in the region that is a tidal wave racing at us even now. The hostiles take over and capture American hostages and hold them 444 days, until Reagan takes over. Why couldn't Carter get them out? You can call it Bush's revenge. He was with the CIA who set up operations in the Middle East to ensure stealing the election. Once in office, he ordered an assassination of the president. He learned from Nixon how to deal with people who get in your way. So, then there was the Iran/Iraq war, where Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Haliburton, supplied both sides with Quartermaster General supplies, uniforms and weapons. Cheney and Bush profited heavily from this war. War was always good for business on the supply side. Meanwhile, US exported oil continued to accelerate and the rich got richer, creating inflationary trends here at home and abroad. Reagan's "trickle down" economics were just a sham because the rich were enjoying a gusher. Bush was really running the secret wars over oil, which is why his son is such a hated man. And following his daddy's policies is a sure way to get himself assassinated. It is time for that because of the year. But the worse scenario is to have Cheney in office. So they would have to take them both out.
There are several solutions, at the very least. One is to reduce the consumption of gas and eliminate dependency on foreign oil. Secondly is to keep domestic oil here for our own use. Thirdly is the development of solar powered cars. Where there is greed, there is need for the inventive souls to rise up and create alternatives.
Now, what happens when the Middle East starts doing direct business with Europe? We will lose that market and have to rely on domestic oil. All the more reason to develop alternative fuel sources. That brings me to a powerful solution…developing fuel from hemp and corn. It would burn cleaner than fossil or diesel fuel and sustain us until the Hydrogen car is ready…or the electric car…or the solar cars of the future.
So, until the future plays out, we are faced with the repercussions of the Saturn Pluto struggle for control of oil. The lies and deceit that springs from the mouths of the true terrorists and totalitarians, the Bush administration, are to be ignored or, better yet, argued with pure logic. Reveal the secret agenda and you've exposed the Republican coup that has happened four times in 35 years. In fact, every time they won, something fishy was going on; the Kennedy assassinations, Watergate, the Arms for hostages and the installation of the losing candidate in the most recent election. It must be true that they have to cheat because they can't win an honest election, since they aren't honest.
Is it patriotic to depend on foreign oil when we export domestic oil to Europe for greater profit, while importing cheaper Arab oil for use here? Is it patriotic to suspend or destroy the Constitution and the Civil Rights of the many for the financial gain of the few rich and powerful?
Here's the simple truth from an astrological standpoint. Jupiter rules law and government, philosophy and truth. A thing is now true if a corrupt government makes it true for rich people to gain while the majority of the citizens lose. But it should not be that way. We as Americans must participate in our own governance and learn about the constitution. We can only begin to stop terror if we begin at home…in the White House.
