Trump’s Apology: Leave it Alone Hillary, or be prepared to have your abuse and your Husband’s abuse of Women Exposed

I’ve seen Trump’s apology tape and heard the hot mike recording in the celebrity bus of Trump boasting about his sexual proclivities, passes, pussy groping fantasies and sexual prowling and corralling. All the prim and proper people were nonplussed, peeved and piously indignant. I ask my readers to step back and look a little deeper beyond the putz behavior and the equally putz piety reactions. This country has an infantile and immature relationship with human sexuality, where petting purulence is the other side of the coin of petulant piety. Strangely enough, Trump’s taped apology, word for word, shows me the most honesty coming from puckered or toothy grinning mouths of any candidate in this zoo of a presidential cycle.

Dear readers, pause and consider the root motivations that brought you this scandal, “now” and not before. Try to see deeper beyond all the posturing of talking heads of the liberal media gush, all poised to pounce on prey. Look beyond the GOP leaders of the Republican Party abandoning the Trump cruise ship like cowardly rats.

“AT LAST” something from Trump’s past can be used as an excuse to run away, like Monty Python’s Holy Grail Knights, from Trump as if he was killer rabbit requiring a blasting by the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch. The liberal, Clinton-Corp friendly anchors and rat dog pundits have their teeth sunk into this and shake as Trump might, they won’t let go, while most of last Friday when the sexist tape was released, FOX News played another animal—an ostrich—with its head in the sand or they obsessed on Hurricane Andrew as some pleasant distraction. It’s as if FOX news has rushed towards the super storm to hide in the flood waters of that globally-warmed hurricane that they deny is a climate change creature. Let’s hide in the flood and not face this calculated, Washington Post “release” of something that they’ve had for months and sprung on the election for its most damaging timed effect.

I do see in all of this a deeper root of intent, the root of corporate interests that have decided to shut off support from Trump, salvage the Republican control of congress as best they can as he sinks, and put most of their multi-national money and weight behind the Clinton Foundation moving to the White House. I’ve been telling you for years that Mrs. Clinton was their poster girl and puppet. Now she’s on the home stretch aided by the hysterical masses of voters who will have meltdowns about a man groping a woman, but remain clueless to the groping of multi-nationals that grab your most important “privacy” parts and freedoms.

You’re a nation, being “molested” by corporate fascism. They rape your rights. They bugger your Republic, but you’d rather get all worked up about Trump’s womanizing weaknesses, while getting punked to distraction while YOU are being RAPED of your freedoms while they’re closing the deal by 8 November getting ClintonCorp in the White House.

Gain some perspective about the corporate media and their handlers who see Trump as a One-Percent Pariah. The dirt has been collected, categorized and poised for the right time to release for months now. Is it not a perfect time to October Surprise Trump in October, even though the Post has had this information for months?

I mean these Access Hollywood audiotapes and video outtakes have been laying around for 11 years! Suddenly we all get to see the “gotcha, mysogyinista moment on the eve of the Second Debate.

I want to make this clear. Defending Trump is not a good move if ego was motivating my predictions. If ego were ruling my writings, I wouldn’t be defending him and generating energy against what will effectively make me 13 and 0 in my presidential predictions.

I’ve been saying Hillary will win as the first woman president for 16 years and counting. Why would I come to defend a man who is often acting like an eight-year old clown in this election and try to defend him now, in his darkest hour of Locker-room-Gate?

If I were motivated by winning my thirteenth attempt at predicting the president I would be siding with Hillary’s distain for Trump’s attitudes about women. But I do not serve Trump or Hillary. I serve innocence when it’s fading light glows, even in Trump.

His apology had a light of sincerity. So I must comment on this fact. Because I do not support Hillary or “The Donald” in my work about the future. I support the essence of Truth, wherever it arises. Right now, it arises in Donald Trump and not the Clinton political machine that has manipulated a man’s moments of weakness and stupidity 11 years ago into a new and cynical low of playing dirty politics.

Donald is all talk. The Clintons, however really did abuse and use women in their checkered political past, so for them to put on airs of pious indignation at these Trump revelations is the epitome of hypocrisy and cynicism. It could backfire on them and once again make this election far closer than it ever needed to be because of Clinton overconfidence and character assassination overkill.

The weirdest moment for this forecaster, observing in this silly sham of an election during a wild Fire Monkey, Chinese calendrical year is that the man who plays most outrageous candidate, Donald Trump, in his apology, has played the most honest. Hillary Clinton should be careful about what her agents at the Washington Post have unleashed. We all may see the unexpected blow back where a penitent and apologizing Trump, the condemned abuser becomes the victim of dirty political abuse. You Clintons have made him an underdog, a “comeback kid” in the upcoming town hall meeting. Through interaction with the public Trump could win Debate Two or at least get a boost as the election approaches.

Here’s why.

Just know this. I would defend The Truth, wherever it arises, even if it goes against my predictions—which, by the way, still hold that Clinton will win. However, if by defending the truth I would lose my forecast, I would celebrate that loss. Now to Trump’s apology, line by line with my interpretation of how his new intent could backfire on Clinton:

***

I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them.

ASSESSMENT
Trump is who he is, warts and all. He has a certain honesty, even when it is repugnant and ugly. Here’s Trump in this Washington Post released tape behaving like many men when going “locker-room” mode. Their boastfulness is masking penal insecurity. You can even see this insecurity when Trump is escorting the blonde woman host after he’s left the Access Hollywood Bus and locker-room blathering.

See how he’s withdrawn some? He’s thinking of his locker-room-rumping rants on the bus—he’s not comfortable about it. He looks constrained and even guardedly vulnerable. I doubt it’s conscious. Trump’s greatest weakness is that he is a natural born channeler and medium without a meditative psychological filter. He’ll channel anything, the racism of a mob one day, boys in the Access Hollywood Ten-Year Anniversary Bus talking man trash about women the next. And now the karma comes home to roost in “reaction” 11-years later.

All men have this problem of genital insecurity in varying degrees. The mystery of the feminine scares men and the male mystique does vice versa, because in men, women are viscerally confronted with an emphasis on the Vice in that “versa”—“Man as Meat Injector” mentality. A man’s deeper capacity to love a woman and become grounded and whole through her is harder for him to reveal. So he prick-postures.

Women too have their own problems and inadequacies about sexuality. It could be said that from the highest in power to the most powerless, the Overlords and their Overwhelmed subjects all have perverse and pre-conditioned suppressions of their life force, their sexuality-life force, that makes them sometimes say and act in ways that do not reveal life-force healthiness.

Human sexuality is the foundation of life and the foundation of human life has remained ever twisted by the social and religious repressions of sexuality. Why else is their violent competition, the suppression of half the human race from being treated equally? Why else are there wars? The penis that seeds life has become a bayonet that disembowels life.

Trump is a victimizer and victim of this vicious circle, as are most of the leaders of the world, even the one’s more worthy of our reverence. That Clinton should pounce upon his weaknesses like a wolf in her tweets is also telling about her sexual suppression, for she is also twisted sexually. I will explore that in my forthcoming book about her presidency. Back to Trump’s apology:

Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.

Astrologically speaking, Trump is a contradiction living at ease with it if not in awareness of it. He’s a Gemini Sun sign. He is mutable. The locker-room “boys will be boys” Trump has not been a misogynist to his daughters but helped them find their beauty, wisdom and power. He’s also helped many women in business find their goddess-in-business powers.

The Gemini is a person of many shades of personality, as I’ve detailed in my examination of Trump in Trump for President: Astrological Predictions. What he said in the bus to Access Hollywood’s boy toy Billy Bush does not carry to his treatment of his daughters. They need not take back anything publicly said about this man as great father-mentor of their upbringing. The Gemini compartmentalizes his or her many personalities. The good father is not the lusty midlife-man in the bus “Billying” Bush a-boasting.

Do not take for granted the ability of the pliable, mutable astrological personality to adapt, change, and to learn to see things differently. Hillary Clinton and her husband who are ruled by a stubborn, single pointedness of the fixed organizer signs of Scorpio and Leo respectively might overlook this potential of mutable signs. It can be harder for such people to see the light and change themselves. Not so for the mutable Trump:

I’ve traveled the country talking about change for America, but my travels have also changed me. I’ve spent time with grieving mothers who’ve lost their children, laid-off workers whose jobs have gone to other countries, and people from all walks of life who just want a better future. I have gotten to know the great people of our country, and I’ve been humbled by the faith they’ve placed in me. I pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down.

This is sincere and in my research for my book on Trump, I have heard stories of Trump’s caring and generous qualities, which he does not parade around publicly to stroke his ego or receive political gain. He has a side of warmth, humbleness and empathy that is shockingly unlike his public persona. The reason is, again, the natural born medium aspect. In private interchanges, he can channel a different Trump that isn’t drawing up the ugliness of masses of unconscious people at rallies. For a man so brash and egoistic in his mask to the public, there is also a private and sensitive man underneath that mask. It unfortunately hasn’t revealed itself often enough during the presidential campaign, because Trump is a very gifted—though unconsciously unfiltered—medium, channeling the collective unconscious of masses of people. That’s why he has harnessed their anger and often at the cost of being a catalyst for the mob’s racism, nativism.

The medium message coming through us is like the letter, and we are the mailmen. The mailman has to become more self-aware of what he’s sending to others. Trump is an unconscious mailman.

I’m going to say something for the intuitive record that is strange, but the future will know it is true. In this race between Trump and Clinton, Trump is the innocent one. He’s the more truthful, naked and honest, even when it is ugly. Clinton is the guarded candidate, calculating and secretive. She’s the one who has more overweening ambition to seize power, not him.

He doesn’t know this, but Trump’s ambition to become president is a journey. He’ll discover if he truly wants it by running. That’s often the path to truth for a Gemini. They think they want a thing but only discover really what they want by going deep into ambition’s process.

Hillary is the opposite. She’s the double-trouble Scorpio who has the ambition first and bends the world to her will. She will use what it takes to be president, and that’s why she’ll become the next president, and reap the consequences of blind ambition.

If Trump wanted it with blind hubris like Hillary, would he make so many gaffs? Wouldn’t he pretend to embrace larger audiences expectations, say anything to win the undecided like she does?

Trump would have been more careful of what he said, and looking over his shoulder at his darker self being caught on tape coming up to haunt him from his past.

The Clinton Foundation will earn access and monetary influence if Hillary is elected. The Trump Organization has already lost clients, lost money big time, to humor Trump’s run for president. His run for president is hurting his fortune, he knows it. Yet he still goes on. It strangely shows he’s ready to sacrifice more for public service.

Notice therefore, how his fortunes are fading, literally while Clinton’s will to serve will only enhance the Clinton Foundation’s power and influence. Their stock increases with her political power, his diminishes. Thus in his own crack-brained and eccentric ways Trump is saying yes to the sacrifice of his fortune to serve the American people.

I see that his selfless service is far more authentic than Clinton’s self-serving power lust. Remember, I am not choosing sides. Neither of these creatures qualifies in my view to be your next president.

I will say it again. Trump is the more authentic and honest—even innocent—of the two top candidates running. Because Clinton wouldn’t dare say in any apology, what Trump honestly said in last Friday night’s contrition message. Now he is speaking a truth that impacts all of your directly and you should listen well, because he’s read the motivations of this new scandal right:

Let’s be honest — we’re living in the real world. This is nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we’re facing today. We are losing our jobs, we’re less safe than we were eight years ago, and Washington is totally broken. Hillary Clinton and her kind have run our country into the ground.

In my estimation, Trump, who is absolutely wrong to be the next president, is absolutely right in what he said above. The ClintonCorp with the aid of Washington Post, holding this information to be released when corporately commanded to hurt Trump the most, is trying to distract you away from the real issues and the right confrontation you should have will all presidential candidates. Trump’s small hands, or his prick is a distraction. The creeping corporate coup, the structurally unsustainable fiat global economy, this new cold war pressed at Russia going suddenly hot at any moment, and your planet’s atmosphere going out of control are some of the many real issues that you should hold your candidates over the fire to account. The survival of your Republic and the future of your lives depend on THAT.

What Trump said in a swank bus to TV hacks of Hollywood adenoidal, tabloidal infatuations is not important. I’ve no doubt you will find every modern president in the past 70 years, from Roosevelt, Johnson, Nixon and especially finagling John F. Kennedy, venting in private to the boys their own fair share of locker-room sexism. But here’s the difference: Trump in fact didn’t “screw” the women he marginalized to the degree Kenney did. Kennedy was knocking up mistresses, staff and starlets even in the White House, not many rooms away from wife and children.

Now then, will you hold that against Kennedy’s true virtues as a leader? Or, would Kennedy’s penis issues have you reject a man who would be president that saved you from the Cuban Missile Crisis? Should his sexual exploits and exploitation have denied you his role as presidential catalyst for the first big step in respecting Civil Rights, or launching Americans to the Moon?

So he had sex out of wedlock. Even Roosevelt when posing for his portrait, had a brain aneurism and died in Georgia in the arms of one of his former mistresses.

Kennedy whoring around. Does that sound familiar, Mrs. Clinton?

Bill Clinton whored around.

You loved him, faults and all, and saw the bigger picture. You did not deny your husband Bill his moments of national accomplishment because he’s just another man with sexual weaknesses.

Thus the next thing Trump says in his apology bodes danger for the Clinton strategy to disclose Trumps celebrity sexism tape. Hillary Clinton has showed herself to be consistent making strategic blunders throughout her political career. This Scorpio has risen like a phoenix from the ashes of her bad choices and will do so again. Nevertheless, I do see how this new revelation could cause her blowback and make the election race very close again when it need not be. Even the remote possibility of an upset may have received new life from Clinton’s overkilling move.

Her going for Trump’s jugular could backfire on ClintonCorp. The not-so veiled and even truthful threat Trump offers at the end of his statement below, should make Hillary pause and reflect. She may have opened herself up for a very rough second debate experience where she could lose and Trump will gain sympathy and support. And even if she wins the debate, a wave of ads will be saturating the airwaves in the final weeks before the election that will dig up, chapter and verse many of Clinton’s unmentionables and it could hurt her and make this election and her victory the most nationally divisive yet.

I’ve said some foolish things, but there’s a big difference between the words and actions of other people. Bill Clinton has actually abused women, and Hillary has bullied, attacked, shamed and intimidated his victims. We will discuss this more in the coming days. See you at the debate on Sunday.

Exactly! The Clinton camp has so far been pretty good at getting Trump to foolishly counterpunch to their advantage and take the bait, like the Khan-job did. Counterpunching Muslim American parents who lost their son in the fighting in Iraq was the beginning of the end. He stepped right into that one.

It may be Clinton’s turn to step into her own mess. When she’s on top, she becomes arrogant and overconfident. That is motivated by her very strong inferiority complex that a lot of pathologically ambitious politicians hide in secret from even themselves. She had Trump down in Debate One, and started gloating, even at the end of the debate. She would have been aided better not to trigger the long waiting Washington Post dirt on Trump about the sexist tape. He was going down in the polls on his own stupid stream of missteps. Now she’s given him an opening to talk about her husband’s serial abuse of women “and” her culpability as a suppressor and tormentor of his mistresses.

She now opens herself to being revealed as someone who looks like doesn’t love her husband as much as she loves the access to power and ambition that her hubby provides. So she’ll fight for him, and bear his betrayals as a philanderer, because what he accesses for her is more important than love and truth.

He is her doorway to power.

Her love of Bill is not blind. Ambition to become the most powerful human being on the planet blinds her love.

Trump in Debate Two is poised to expose and illuminate that dark side of Hillary Clinton. She’s opened her armored protection herself and now lies exposed for his counterattack.

A few articles below this one, I will look at Clinton’s “itch” signal in Debate One, assess my astrological forecast and make a new one for tonight’s Debate Two.

DATELINE: 09 October 2016

One step closer to World War III: US suspends talks with Russia over Syria. Nostradamus’ Window for War Prediction was about the Syrian Conflict Expanding

You may all be captivated and well distracted by Trump’s most recent and perhaps campaign-ending scandal but it is a trifle. My job and Hogueprophecy’s intention, is to keep you informed of real issues that threaten to completely alter your future in unexpected ways. The future is a vast undiscovered land of potentials. You open its doors to good or evil by the choices you make at its threshold called The Present. To do this, you must be rightly informed and given the right perspectives and not be fooled by your idiotic media that tries to keep you in a state of stupidity, gush and emotional abandon.

We are on the brink of a Third World War and the person a majority of you are destined to pick as your next president hasn’t the capacity to lead you away from this potential. Indeed “she” will drag you to the thermonuclear brink, perhaps as early as this time next year.

I must remind my readers that the effects of powerful astrological aspects can happen months earlier, or tease out months after the stellar aspects are in play. For instance, right now the malefic aspects of Mars and Saturn equally fiery in Aug-Sept 2016 was an opening for war. The day the Mars transit through Sag. ended (28-29 Sept), the grim impacts have just begun and continued through October. America is effectively breaking off talking to the Russians and is now moving towards a no-fly zone regimen in the Syrian Civil War. They are moving from talking to the Syrian government and its Russian ally to military confrontation with both.

This is an insanely dangerous move. The effects of the equally-fiery transit of Saturn and Mars as foretold by Nostradamus are on. Since 2008 I believed it pointed to a big threat of war against Iran. It has hit Iran’s chief allies, Syria and Hezbullah fighting in Syria against a rag-tag mixed bag otherwise know as the so-called “Free Syrian Army.” Their opponents are neither completely Syrian and certainly is not free of significant jihadist terror elements and an influx of terrorists from Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations, financed and armed by Riyadh and the Gulf Arab states. I was hoping the dangers I wrote about in my book Nostradamus: the War with Iran—Islamic Prophecies of the Apocalypse would dwindle once we passed into October 2016. I can see that war is even more likely now. The August/September bellicosity of planets was a moment birthing the war fever. That fever won’t break in 2017. It will last all the way to 2018. Iran is still a target along with Syria, Hezbullah’s Lebanon and Iraq. The war could explode throughout the Middle East coming in the autumn of 2017 and there are prophetic indications that I’ve mentioned in Nostradamus and the Antichrist that could lead to a US-Russian nuclear crisis in November of that year!

The aspect most dominant and defining the year 2016 was a stationery retrograde of Mars beginning in May with the planet of war, hot temper and impulsive terror attacks by lone wolf jihadists, backtracking from Sagittarius into Scorpio for an inordinately long period of time. In six months it would scarcely move from the final degree of the sign of death and resurrection, to emerge in early August crawling forward back into Sagittarius to give its warring emphasis and reinforcement to a Planet Saturn returned for a transit through Sagittarius after 29 years. Thus Saturn is passing again over the same malefic stars decades ago when it gave birth to extremist, fundamentalist terror organizations like al-Qaeda in the late 1980s. Now it bestows evil and saturnine-black magnificence to terror groups, like ISIS. Saturn’s lessons unlearned return in harsher forms with every 29-30 year cycle. Al-Qaeda is eclipsed by an even more fearsome ISIS that much better at attacking Europe and occupying territories, attaining for now its aim to build its Caliphate Islamic State from conquests in Iraq and Syria as well as spread Caliphate cells in over 20 other countries around the world.

As far back as spring of 2007 in the first edition of Nostradamus: The War with Iran, I began logging the following quote of concern about a window opening for war with Iran or one of its surrogates, like Syria, especially for August-September of 2016. The following quote was carried in subsequent expanded editions of that eBook and printed book in 2012, and most recently in October 2013:

It is going to be a long time before Mars and Saturn will equally burn together in the same fire sign or simultaneously in two fire signs. Mars will enter Leo when Saturn is in Sagittarius on far off September 2015. They will not share the same fire sign until the following year. Retrogrades of both planets make for the next rare and unusually magnified interlude of equal fire signs of war from March through May 2016 and again from August through September 2016. It is possible the scenarios of war with Iran written in this book in the spring of 2007 may better reflect a US-Iranian conflict joined in battle nearly a decade from now.

Whatever the time, the action foreseen takes place in a dry climate, apparently at the peak of summerlike conditions. Out of the skies falls the “long comet.”

…Mars, the God of War, goes direct course in Scorpio at the end of June, returning to Saturn in Sagittarius in early August 2016 on the 26th anniversary of Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait. It will stay equally fiery with Saturn for nearly two months, exiting into Capricorn on 29 September 2016. Not only will Mars be equally fiery in this second pass but also in the latter days of August it will magnify its influence combining with Saturn starting 19 August, in exact conjunction on 23-24 August. It will not hover beyond a 2-degree orb with Saturn until 31 August…

The Mars-Saturn conjunction of August 2016 in exact degree of war potential is indeed most exact of any time window for war with Iran—more so than astrological convergences of Mars and Saturn during the last window for war in 2002-2007. If the West’s jingoistic urge were lucky, August 2016 is when it rolls the doomsday dice with a massive air and naval strike on Iran.

Just before Mars leaves Sagittarius the war planet trines Uranus, ruler of upheaval, sudden surprises and chaos; in other words, a time to do something rash, like a surprise attack on Iran, come hell to pay the consequences.

Nostradamus:

The War with Iran (May 2007, first edition),
Chapter Five, Hidden Fires Burn with Heat

What was actually born, was a war madness in August-September 2016 and that madness possesses the Western leaders into thinking they can manage a war with Russia through Syria and not have a regional fight with Moscow escalate into a nuclear war.

You’ll hear on your mass Western media propaganda organs one side of what happened to break the second US-Russian attempt at a ceasefire in the Syrian Civil War this September as the battle over Syria’s largest city Aleppo reached a new level of horror and destruction thanks to Mars and Saturn’s fiery transit. I’m going to tell you what you won’t hear on Western media and how America broke the ceasefire first. Russia came aboard for the ceasefire when the US agreed to untangle and separate moderate Free Syrian Army elements fighting alongside al-Qaeda militias like al-Nusra terrorist forces in Aleppo.

The US didn’t do this. Moreover there’s a real cabal taking place in the Pentagon along with neoconservative elements in Washington DC. The latter have abandoned President Obama because they don’t want any dialogue with the Russians or the Syrian government. They want the war to spread and many of them are praying that Hillary Clinton will be their next boss. She’s already gathered many neocons around her who have abandoned the Republican Party because Trump would like to end the new cold war started in 2014. This would ruin the US war industry’s aim to reestablish a decades-long new cold war containing and weakening Russia and making huge profits. You will find out later that Obama’s own Secretary of Defense belongs to that cabal and looked the other way when elements in the Pentagon allowed NATO jets to strike 1,000 Syrian troops surrounded by ISIS forces in Eastern Syria, not once, but many times, even when calls to halt the “friendly fire” attacks were issued. American and NATO jets killed 100 Syrian soldiers and wounded hundreds more. The ISIS forces attacked and pushed the remains aside in their successful offensive to conquer more of Syria!

The Russians and Syrians don’t think that was an accident and I predict the future evidence will prove them right. The Pentagon was rebelling against Obama and Kerry’s policies.

Correction, they were rebelling against Obama.

Secretary of State John Kerry was caught on a live mike speaking to political leaders of the Free Syrian Army—men who would be the chosen puppet government when Bashir al-Assad’s regime was defeated. He protested vigorously that he was one of the few men in Obama’s cabinet that all along wanted America to bomb and destroy the Syrian regime. Thus spoke the United State’s number one “diplomat” and “peacemaker.” His job description has changed from ending wars to widening them.

I certainly exposed Kerry’s warmongering in August 2013 after chemical weapons gassed thousands of Syrians in East Damascus. Everyone in Washington DC, including my own congressman, Gary Larson who I debated on these pages, was jumping on the war wagon, saying the missiles were launched on Assad’s side of the battle line. See the article by clicking on John Kerry.

You most likely “didn’t” hear reports from your mainstream news outlets six months later that a Syrian government attack was impossible because the missile debris recovered was from a shorter range missile that only could have been fired “inside” Free Syrian Army lines, from an area controlled by al-Qaeda’s Al-Nusra Front. You would have, perhaps, not read respected investigative reporter Seymour Hersh’s revelation that al-Nusra had been working with Turkish secret servicemen to collect such weapons and fire them at civilians the very same day Syria’s president had invited UN inspectors into his country to investigate other claims by the rebels that Syrian government forces used chemical weapons.

A rather odd thing to do, don’t you think?

Why launch a chemical attack the day you finally got the UN to check your side of the chemical weapons issue and cross Obama’s red line, effectively destroying your government, family and yourself by being victims of an overwhelming US retaliatory air attack?

Kerry the “peacemaker” wanted that war with Syria real bad and if he got it, what was left of Syria would have been destroyed, with mass massacres and millions on the road to Europe and ISIS absorbing all of Syria into its Caliphate.

One could argue that President Vladimir Putin of Russia saved millions of lives playing peacemaker, getting Assad to give up his chemical weapons arsenal in one of the most efficient and least reported disarming of weapons of mass destruction in modern times. With chemical weapons gone, no need for that US strike.

You should have seen how angry Kerry was the day after peace offers were delivered. Kerry is a notoriously bad comic even though has a remarkable resemblance to the talking horse on the sixties TV show Mr. Ed. That horse face was at least funny. Kerry, however, joked that if Assad wanted to avoid war he should give up his weapons of mass destruction “which of course he won’t do.”

Putin and his Foreign Minister Lavrov heard that, got Assad to give them up, and left Kerry flummoxing about how he was only joking and not presenting that as an option to stop the air strikes. As Mr. Ed would say to his human owner and friend, “Oh-h-h, Wilburrrr!”

Well, there’s more ways for Kerry and his neocons in the Pentagon to get their war with Assad and Putin. Accidentally bomb on purpose a thousand Syrian government troops, effectively aiding ISIS forces fighting them wining the battle.

Thanks Washington for years of giving them weapons, and trained FSA fighters and now this, air support. Allah be praised!

One atrocity begets another.

UN transports on their way to rebel held areas of Aleppo are attacked with dozens of UN workers killed and wounded. The UN suspends all humanitarian efforts in Syria. The US news said the Russians and Syrian air forces strafed and bombed the convoy but no evidence of aerial bombing is given. Other reports say it was hit by artillery from jihadist militias who had also been responsible for breaking the ceasefire and drawing Syrian Army counter bombardments.

At the peak of the malefic Mars-Saturn transits the ceasefire collapses after a few days and Russian air assets support the Syrian Army and Air Force in a full-scale offensive taking large areas of the inner city of Aleppo from the rebels.

On 28 September, the day Mars left Sagittarius, entering Capricorn and ending the astrologically bellicose aspect with Saturn, a string of karmic consequences began happening, the first that very same day. On the 28th, the US State Department threatened to break all diplomatic ties with Russia in Syria if the use of bunker-busting bombs in their Aleppo inner city offensive didn’t stop.

This was also the same day the year-defining aspect of Mars in very slow transit, mostly in a state of stationary retrograde until advancing forward in early August, had ended. It had produced a number of terrorist attacks in Europe and in its final degrees also inside America as my Oracle had foreseen, climaxing with the Syrian Civil War escalation. War madness was born and now we’ll live with it for the next two years. The first big step towards a US-Russian confrontation was taken in early October when the US government made good its threat and broke off all diplomatic ties to Russia in Syria. There will now be no coordination of air forces or air defenses. This means an accidentally shot down NATO or Russian jet is far more likely in the coming months.

Russia responded to the US diplomatic shutdown by shipping its highly advanced anti-missile systems to protect its naval base in Tartus and other air bases as well as Syrian military bases and government buildings from NATO air strikes. The S-300 and S-400 anti-missile systems are Russia’s answer after a long study of US air force weaknesses. US jets have never encountered these defense systems in its wars in Iraq. If fighting over Syrian airspace takes place, this won’t be a pushover war like bombing Libya and Iraq with near impunity. The US and NATO allies will lose lots of jets and pilots.

There’s more than talk in Washington about establishing large no-fly zones over Syria. The UN Security Council this week tried to make it a UN resolution that was vetoed by Russia with China abstaining. I don’t know why Washington should be so worried about keeping up pretenses of respecting international law. For instance, ever since US jets started bombing runs over Syrian airspace against ISIS, they were breaking UN backed international law. US Special Forces on the ground in Syria is also breaking international law.

The great irony of this conflict is that the Russians actually “are” there in Syria legally and respectful of UN law. The sovereign government of Syria, which is a United Nations member, asked them for their help and they answered. The US, also a UN member by attacking anything in Syria with its jets is breaking the UN charter by striking another UN member and invading that member’s airspace without permission.

Soon you will see America using third party vassals in Syria like they did the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan to start shooting down Russian jets and helicopters. The US will begin shipping sophisticated anti-aircraft missiles, which I predict will eventually fall into the hands of terrorists in the FSA. Next year see how they’ll begin shooting down Russian “and” NATO jets and helicopters.

This is the kind of atmosphere of disconnection and adversarial stances that sets up Nostradamus predictions about rebellious vassals of the two largest nuclear powers dragging the US and Russia into a direct military confrontation. He speaks of the Barbare, his metaphor for Barbary Corsairs, the Islamic terrorists of his day, applied to Islamist terrorist in the future. Barbare is also an anagram for d’arabe = of Arabs. They drag the Kings of the North (Russia and the US) into a war. You can read in detail these prophecies and the steps yet to be taken that could turn this new cold war into a hot thermonuclear world war perhaps as soon as a year from now!

Hurricane Matthew and the Fulfillment of Hogue’s Hurricane Predictions for the 2016 Hurricane Season

We move from the frying pan of a Third World War danger that Western leaders want to push on Russia and into the fire of the other civilization-ending threat to humanity, for which politicians give lip service: Planetary Climate Change.

This is the biggest potential source of your end as a civilization. This topic has been sorely neglected in the primary and presidential debates by both sides. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders at least mentioned it, made slogans about ending the threat of planetary climate change. Nice words indeed. Sanders is out and in fact, Clinton’s record of support and donations indicate that she’s just giving the idea of fighting climate change, campaign gestures of support. The realities of this creeping disaster will overshadow her all-too-short time in office. She might actually back her words with legislation. She means to help. She has a mother’s understanding of protecting life. She also has an overweening will to power. Which force in her will be the victor? It is the subject of my book of predictions about her administration, still in process of creation: President Hillary Clinton Prophecies.

While people have been fixated on the soap opera of Trump’s sexism and Hillary’s exposed views leaked from her expansively profitable private lectures to big banksters, nearly 1,000 people in Haiti need burial. The dead may be many, many more, as time will tell. Hurricane Matthew has destroyed Haiti a second time since the earthquake of 2010.

It pains me to be right about the forecasts I delivered in Ten Predictions for 2016 and the Fire and Ice Prophecies about the 2016 Hurricane Season documented on 10 January 2016:

Brace yourselves in the Gulf States of the USA all the way up to the Chesapeake and Washington DC. You are cyclonic-storm wheeling back to the future, back to a hurricane season like that suffered in 1998 and 2005.

The Hurricane Season of 2005, fulfilled the first of two super-hurricane prognostications I documented in 1998 for the destruction of either Miami or New Orleans, flooded by the earliest of globally warmed super-hurricanes in one of the first five seasons of the new century. Katrina in 2005 was that storm, inundating New Orleans. That danger returns for both cities, plus Charleston and Myrtle Beach in the hurricane season of 2016.

The Third Prophecy:
Ten Predictions for 2016
And the Fire and Ice Prophecies’

Hurricane Matthew is a vast disaster with many dimensions of globally-warmed mayhem. It has blasted the coast of Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Virginia and now Delaware with sustained and long-lived Hurricane force winds over five days. Before that, it leveled towns and cities of Haiti, killing at least nearly 1,000 people, lying dead under exposed roofs of denuded houses or temporarily buried in mudslides from human denuded hills. Many more died that won’t be reported. Charleston has been flooded. Myrtle Beach as well, in the season of 2016, as foreseen. The winds and deluge rains “have” reached as far north as the Chesapeake extending out and touched Washington DC!

Matthew is a historic storm, historic for its floods of rain “and” historic for its being the first Category Four storm swirling farthest north and latest in season since records began being kept in the late nineteenth century. The hurricane seasons are coming earlier and lasting far longer with Matthew being a whirling and vast spawn of an oceanic system that has absorbed 90 percent of the greenhouse gases warming our world in the last 50 years.

The waters are hot and angry and your coastlines are being destroyed by manmade global warming, but you’d rather hear Hillary just talk about global warming curtailment, and you’ll vote for the sexist Trump who believes the forces destroying and flooding Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina are a “hoax” perpetrated by the Chinese

(As your butlers and servants are cleaning up the grounds of your beachfront Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida—get a grip on the science of climate change.)

You’re world is prey for heated oceans and super storms. The climate change denier will lose his bid to be your next president, but Hillary Clinton, your next leader, needs to put action behind her words when she rules you. Without your pressure, she’ll just go into Obama-mode: just words about climate change—no do.

Assessment of my Forecast for the first Presidential Debate and a Forecast for the upcoming Second Debate

Well, it looks like I was wrong about Trump winning the first debate. So I’ll respond to that by letting avid Hogue reader “Gabrielle” speak for many of you:

GABRIELLE
In spirit I admire you tremendously and fond of your brilliant artistic writing…

Rarely you illustrated inaccuracy with your predictions. What If you are wrong this time about Madame Secretly Mrs. HRC The President, as recently you wrote, “I believe round one of three will go in favor of Trump.”

HOGUE
Hi Gabriel, thanks for the question. My readers have a right to get an answer.

As far as the nuances of my presidential predictions they can make mistakes, but on the essential prediction, which really matters, I won’t be wrong. I forecast Hillary Clinton winning the election whether my debate predictions are right or wrong.

In my defense I did get a number of predicted details right in that article (click on Trump vs. Hillary). His stars that night did make him “wild and unpredictable”; however, he didn’t fluster Hillary as I predicted. Maybe that’s still coming tonight in the second debate.

I also foresaw how she could make me wrong and win the first debate:

If ever she has a chance to win this first round, Clinton MUST not be tempted to go John Wayne on Trump. She has help from her natal Moon in Pisces that’s harmoniously trined her Mercury (keeping her mental poise) and trined Venus (be a goddess, honey, be strong like a rose flower that no hurricane of Trump’s hot-air attacks can de-pedal.

She didn’t channel John Wayne in the first debate. I’m wondering though, since she got almost gloating with arrogant at the end of the first debate that perhaps overconfidence will kick in and she’ll go mannish John Waynish in the second debate tomorrow tonight? Read more about my forecast for the Second and Third Debates below in my last article about astrological forecasts for the rest of October.

Let Hillary Clinton’s “Itch” in the First Debates “Scratch” your Democracy

Last week my Facebook Public page enjoyed a lively, if often overblown and emotionally reactive, “debate” about whether Hillary Clinton in her first debate against Donald Trump was giving the MSNBC moderator Lester Holt signals, rubbing the side of her nose, then cheek and even her chin, indicating when she wanted to deliver a zinger to Trump. If it was just harmless “itchy fingers” then why was YouTube apparently pressured to scratch the tape showing every scratch from anyone’s cellphone or computer screen?

Fortunately people out there will copy whatever disturbs the Establishment censors of politically correct YouTubeeyness and keep reposting it, so, I was able to examine the suspected tells. They did look like classic tells, although they may not have been preplanned. When Trump wants to cut in he raises his hand like the eight-year old he sometimes acts like. Hillary Clinton being a Double-Scorpio with Sun, Mercury, Venus and Ascendant in the murky Twelfth House makes her secretive by nature. It is one of the astrological tells that make her one of the two most popular candidates to run for president in modern times. People don’t trust her because that Scorpio Plutonic mask of a face hides her motivations even when she is laughing, scratching, and personable with others.

Anyway, my readers responded passionately with pro and con reactions to each other and then my short note commenting that it wasn’t just an itchy face or a nervously unconscious habit really got the discussion going.

After my observation, she was “giving the finger” to side of nose, cheek and chin to get the moderator’s attention. I let everyone have their head and sometimes lose their heads in expletive-driven outbursts, until it was time to step in and pull a little weight of experience about the media, debates and tells. This is an expanded version of what I wrote:

***

First off, tone down the vulgarity, folks. And perhaps count to ten and breathe before you log in these breathless, emotional outbursts.

Now then, I have been in many public debates and I have been watching Hillary Clinton debate 16-years and counting. This is the first time poor Hill has had such a persistent itch to scratch and rub at fortuitous times stealing a gaze at times at the moderator. Her persistent itch magically goes away when she has the spotlight.

I’m not a supporter of Trump or Clinton. I look at the campaign from beyond the haze and hysteria of mob-mind-think. That’s why I’ve been able to pick the winner of 12 presidential elections in a row. Identification clouds insight. You begin to see things only according to your wanting your wishes to be fulfilled and not wanting your fears actualized.

I’ve also done a lot of television. I’ve appeared in interviews on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC, BBC, Russia Channel One and FOX News to name a few. And I’ve worked behind the scenes with many of these same networks when either preparing these interviews or working on documentaries produced by network organizations large and small.

A lot of you in this debate about Hillary’s “itch” certainly and freely offer your opinions, but how many of you have debated on TV?

How many of you have done over 100 documentaries and worked with the networks since 1987 and seen how things are done, and truths are twisted?

I’ve even had to decline to be a part of a filmed debate planned with James Randi before an audience of students at Yale University because of how the TV producers wanted to stage it. They were going to cut and paste it to support their bias. I later found out from my replacement that they were even rehearsing the audience to vote against any argument in favor of Nostradamus’ predictions, whether the person won the debate or not. Remember, in that audience of elite students groomed to be that one-percentile power over the rest of us, they’re already learning how to play falsely. This debate hall’s chairs had most likely been warmed by Yale students like George Bush, John Kerry, Bill and Hillary Clinton, etc. There could have been future Supreme Court justices—perhaps even a future president—in that gathering of one-percent power apprentices.

Skull and Bones, a secret Yale University included many presidents and supreme court justices. George Sr. and George Jr Bush belonged, as does the current Secretary of State John Kerry. He has recently been caught on tape saying he supports military action in Syria. Such an action could lead to nuclear war by November next year, so visualizes Nostradamus.

The G.W. Bushes, Clintons and the John Kerry’s of the world of the powerful are taught at Yale how to be liars (with the degrees of lawyers) and become your most cunning and successful politicians. Is it any wonder that your America is in such great danger of devolving out of economic and political control?

When I tell you now that bias and corporate influence drives the news media into right-wing or left-wing filtered camps of dis-information, it has the weight of nearly 30 years of experiencing the decline and fall of your so-called journalistic objectivity.

You are all being punked.

You’ve been granted by corporate media manipulation the two worst candidates in modern US political history to choose from. Don’t chime in about Johnson and Stein. The two-party corporate cartel will never let alternative voices have a place on any debate stage. Most of you are probably unaware that after Ross Perot managed it in 1992, the Republican and Democratic party leaders took the debates out of the hands of an impartial organization and now control what’s asked and how the rules are made, ever sustaining a locked down advantage for only the two top parties.

I’ve dealt with the TV suits on radio and television for decades. These overlords of information just love it that you keep the myth alive, that one party or the other is the lesser of two evils to vote for. They love it that you think you have a choice.

I’ve been saying for years now: The Choice is “Theirs.” Not yours. Hillary Clinton has been groomed to be your next president by corporate interests for eight years. Now her appointed day has come to be their puppet president, strings at the ready to be pulled.

Don’t presume that I think Trump is a better choice. The irony is, he’s more authentic and innocent of the game. He literally is a big baby in the political woods. He’s just prey for Establishment powers. If he could be elected the corporations would see to it that their Democrat and Republicans in their pocket would have him impeached before he finished his first year in office.

The American people have grown more politically illiterate and have lost what little capacity of critical thinking and skeptical inquiry they had. The effort to make them more stupid and controllable has been going on ever since the Reagan years and now the work is nearly complete. In the next four years you have two potential futures: 1.) to be the deluded citizens of a corporate form of a fascist state; or, 2.) you will start a peaceful—or violent—revolution to overthrow this corporate dictatorship and its two-party system.

I would prefer the former, but a second revolution has been foreseen by a number of prophets down through history and if it’s violent, it looks a lot more like Syria and Libya’s civil war and not like the first American Revolution.

The choice is yours: a revolution of violence or of peace. It will take an awareness you need to awaken. You’ll need first, right now, to recognize how you’ve been programmed to think, to be politically stupid and naive. Your personal revelation is going to hurt at first and you’ll feel like fools—because, frankly, you are playing and being played the fool. It takes courage and intelligence to face this fact. When at last you do, there’s a possibility that you can join a movement to reboot the America that the US Constitution and its founding fathers gave us. You can take back your Republic and stop taking your freedom, and the responsibility of freedom, for granted.

Perhaps four years of Hillary Clinton will get “you” itching and scratching for a peaceful revolution that ends this tyranny of Stupid.

UPDATE 10pm Pacific, 09 October 2016. I’m posting this paragraph a few hours after the Second Debate. Did any of you notice that Hillary wasn’t playing with her face, or fingering her nose while looking at the moderators?

Astrological Predictions for the rest of October, the Last Full Month of US Presidential Campaigning

The following prediction for October’s stars was documented seven months earlier on 23 March 2016 for a book of astrological predictions that caregiving for my mother in her final days made impossible to complete. I will be producing a small book of astrological predictions for the year 2017, yet if that is delayed, I will attempt once again to redefine the astrological book genre with a Spring Equinox 2017 to Spring Equinox 2018 book, as I prefer the pagan telling of new years to Pope Gregory’s “Gregorian” calendar system. A new year should be born when the world begins to blossom and flower again, after the death and fallow period of winter and not have the new year appear in the middle of winter as the Christians have unnaturally foisted upon the Nature of Earth and its cycles.

I will be inserting my assessments from 8 October in italics when necessary.

***

I want to warn all of you. Early. If you are understandably against Trump becoming your president, do yourselves a favor and never underestimate his ability to come out of the demographic cellar, turn all the negativity hurled at him into positive energy and pull off a surprising shocker, a victory on 8 November. Never underestimate a man born with a Sun conjoined at birth with unpredictable Uranus in Gemini that’s opposed a Sagittarius Moon. The current transit of Saturn has it rapidly approaching a conjunction with Trump’s Natal Moon. At the same time, Uranus is passing through Aries (ruler of new deals and enterprises, and radically new political directions). That means Uranus is edging towards a grand fire trine with Trump’s Natal Moon in Sagittarius and his Natal Mars that’s conjunct his Leo Ascendant starting at the end of October. This magnification of fire energies will reach peak potency for sudden reversals of political fortune to spring out of nowhere from Election Day balloting.

It’s a long shot, I know, like a guy on the opposite end of the basketball court facing the opposite direction from the opposing hoop shooting the ball backwards into nothing but net. A hole in one, a no-no hitter, or somebody besting Red Sox slugger Ted William’s .406 batting average from the 1941 season. Yes, all are next to impossible, but statistical miracles do sometimes happen.

ASSESSMENT 09 October 2016. I find it eye-opening reading the above passage written nearly seven months before the most recent hot microphone scandals dug up from the 2005 Access Hollywood bus incident. Still, as I said, the stars and planets in the last weeks of October bode favorably for a comeback to at least a close loss for Trump. Then again, the day after his celebrity groping and sexually poking boast comes WikiLeaks dolling out transcripts of the politically sensitive contradictions of Hillary Clinton made in her high paid but otherwise secret speeches to the people she “really” supports and understands as her “voters”: the bankers and tycoons of Wall Street and financial institutions who, over the years have earned her $22 million in lecture fees. One of the leaked quotes even admits how she feels for a long time now out of touch with the middle class Americans because she’s been one-percenter wealthy for so long, thanks to the Clinton Foundation.

That, and other statements will start deflating her polling numbers and that would make my prediction of her two-percent popular vote victory once again a real possibility as evidence of her many conflicts of interest with the media, big business and many world leaders who donated handsomely for access steadily mounts.

Back to what I said seven months ago about what Trump needs to do in October to win a pie in the sky upset in November’s election:

The pundits say that Trump has alienated women and Latinos with his statements leaving him only the Caucasian American voter. If they’re right just about every white cracker honkey who votes in this great US of A would have to pencil the square, punch the card or pull the lever for Donald J. Trump to win. Trump has shown a gift for getting eligible disaffected, white baby boomers 40, 50 and 60 years old to either vote for the first time or vote after decades of giving up on the process.

If one channels the power of Uranus the unpredictable surpriser in a year going “ape” under the Chinese Red Fire Monkey business, you illuminate what is hiding between people’s givens. The pundits are not calculating the hidden potential pool of 25 to 50 million eligible American voters—a majority of them being white—who just never vote. Many of these learned talking heads on the boob tube will tell you how wonderful the US recovery has been at two-percent growth and that unemployment is down to recovery helping levels of around five percent. It’s a sales pitch for the new abnormal economic reality: a flat line recovery. The patient’s alive, but a plateau is not a steep growing curve, folks.

You can only believe unemployment is so low if you simply drop and forget sources of data falling from your view, like the many millions of unemployed who stopped looking for work and therefore “do not” register themselves as unemployed looking for work.

The people in their tens of millions who either stopped voting or never voted in their adult lives draw up such “blanks” in the minds of statisticians and these are the people Uranus in its approaching grand trine with Donald Trump might just suddenly decide to go out to vote for him.

There’s another group that mostly secular political forecasters in cynical Washington aren’t too interested in factoring: Trump’s command of evangelical voters who number around 40 million. Ralph Reed, a former top leader of the Moral Majority movement in the 1980s, said early this year that Trump is breaking records of support from the evangelical community.

What if the two to three million people the Trump movement has pulled in by March—many voting for the first-time—could become ten to twenty million vote casters on 8 November? They won’t be appearing on any pundit’s ledger because they’re blanks beyond big data dumps like the millions of unemployed. What if a majority of those 8 million unemployable citizens decided to vote for the jobs-candidate?

ISIS attacking the homeland more than once, 2008-level stock market crashes or worse visiting August or September, could change the focus of voters in favor of Trump.

ASSESSMENT 8 October 2016. It’s hard to gander what hidden demographics go Democratic or Republican. The GOP Establishment stabbing their candidate in the back, as it were, abandoning him to the current scandal will only pull traditional Republicans to make protest votes. It also looks like Trump will get no “bounce” from a “crash” of the stock market, although, certain statistical hints indicate a recession is coming to embrace Hillary Clinton’s new presidency next year. As we approach the big election, watch Gary Johnson’s Libertarian polls bump upwards. Perhaps he’ll even reach the magic 15 percent and get to debate the top runners on the third and final debate on 19 October.

Now we return to a prophetic examination of Hillary Clinton foreseen seven months earlier. Keep in mind that what I wrote about Trump in late March was at a time when his winning the primaries was still thought to be a long shot. Hillary Clinton was suffering from significant gains by Bernie Sanders. Despite this, my Oracle was certain the dozens of Republicans and Sanders would be kicked aside and these two would be the last two undesirables standing in the latter days of October:

Let’s consider Hillary Clinton’s stars for October campaigning.

She was born on 26 October 1947. Her birth time is under some dispute, yet whether she was born at 8:02 am in the morning of 8:02pm in the evening, one defining aspect dominates her birth chart. Her life is a challenging balancing act. She is ever in a crucible of warring planets. Though her ego ruler the Sun is not involved, Mars, Saturn and Pluto in Leo in the Ninth House. They all square in varying degrees the other planets in Scorpio in the Twelfth House, such as Venus (the peacemaker and diplomat), Mercury (the intellect) and the Ascendant (the ruler of how one is seen outside and how one expresses oneself in the outside world). It is fortunate for her that those same planets enjoy powerful and harmonious trines with her Moon in Pisces. But then, the squares are very strong, with Mars (energy) and Pluto (the mass generative force of eras) with Saturn (reality checks and karmic limitations) in Leo at odds and sometimes bedeviling her mind and communication skills, how she presents herself to the world and how she will negotiate as a president.

Anyone who manages to survive into adulthood with such an intensively challenging chart to become a success in life is someone who embraces hard challenge and can turn tragedy, and betrayal into positives. They can understand that squares are even greater blessings that harmonious trines—indeed in her case, the trines locked in battle with her squared aspects help her do that Double Scorpio thing she does, transform hard obstacles of life into strength, endurance. She’ll fight harder and longer than most can sustain in her uphill battles with resistance every step of the way. Her Scorpio Sun and Ascendant in the karmic Twelfth house makes her relentless, patient, doubly intense and formidable. This Double-Scorpio finds a way to achievement and success whether her single-pointed ambition for power if wise or foolish.

Hillary Clinton has true astrological grit. Donald Trump better not underestimate “that” when round two of the presidential debates commence on 9 October

New Moon (8 Libra) conjuncts Clinton’s Neptune (11 Libra) and thus adds a refreshing of the lunar month with higher sensitivity and empathy for others. President “mom” in the running will engage favorably her Natal Mars in engaging the public at large with discipline as long as she can temper her harangues. The New Moon conjoins Trump’s Natal Neptune (5 Libra). This gives his intuitive “common sense” channelings less outrage and more focus when they cut through BS with the truth until 7 October throws a Fire Monkey wrench in the spokes of Trump’s intuition when the Sun in Libra Squares Pluto in Capricorn exactly 14 degrees. That will make Trump’s Jupiter prone to lowbrow insult rather than higher-minded on his message. Clinton can turn her squares into positives like Trump can channel his negatives to positive political effect. They’re very different political operators in this way.

ASSESSMENT 8 October 2016. The scandal blow that may have finished any chance Trump had of winning a long shot upset came with last Friday’s revelations about the Access Hollywood Bus sexist scandal. Friday was 7 October! His “lowbrow insults” of women have come home to roost. Nevertheless, Hillary Clinton, watch out! Trump can channel his negatives into positive attacks that hurt your poll numbers because you’ve opened yourself for your proclivities to be exposed on the Second Debate on 9 October.

UPDATE: 10 October 2016. Before I publish the articles I want to insert here that Trump, despite the scandal, was a far better and more focused counterpuncher in the second debate and had Clinton either glaring a Scorpio (if looks could kill) at him or nodding and smirking like a know-it-all. She was not so on her game in the second debate, though Trump can’t be said to have won this one either. He did staunch the exodus of his base with his many more successful, “got under your skin” Clinton attacks.

Seven months ago my Oracle had this to day about the day after the scandal erupted:

Earthquakes October 8th. Saturn (12 Sagittarius) squaring True Node (12 Virgo) made the Earth do it and send a few temblors shaking the financial world, a terror attack or two from Jihad slap happy Saturn in Sag. Mars in Capricorn sextile Neptune in Pisces networks a message of healing—advantage Hillary because of its indirect aspect to her powerful Piscean Moon Natal position.

ASSESSMENT 8 October 2016. It wasn’t an earthquake of dirt and rock but a political earthquake equally as seismic. Advantage definitely went to Clinton who may have clinched her oncoming victory that day. Now the only question that concerns me presciently is whether Trump will keep this race close or will I be wrong about the two-percent popular vote spread becoming a 16 to 20 percent landslide.

There was also a significant natural disaster on 8 October, boiling and flooding the Southeast US coastline thanks to Hurricane Matthew’s rage. The politicians pundit on, as the creeping disaster of planetary climate change strengthens.

This is how I read the stars for the VP debate and second presidential debate seven months ago:

No significant aspects come to mind in the single round of the US Vice Presidential Debates (no one watches VP debates anyway), but see you in St. Louis Missouri, on 9 October. Watch the sparks fly in Round Two of the Presidential Debate because of the Saturn-Node squaring and Jupiter in Libra passing over and magnifying Trump’s unpredictable ups and downs, one moment expansive and higher minded, original an ingenious, the next, a bigot baiter and dismisser.

Clinton will be less humorously charming this time and let Trump get under her skin and receive some sharp stings from her offended Venus in Scorpio sensibilities made more intense as Venus transits past her natal Venus position starting three days earlier. Her retorts will be dramatic and she is more susceptible to energy in a battle of wills to dominate the stage Alfa male mano a Alfa female a mano (hand to hand).

Nevertheless, the planets give October little pause from further upheavals when on 15 October the Sun (22 Libra) opposes Uranus (22 Aries). A mixed day on the campaign trail for “The Donald.” The Sun in Libra trines grandly for a day with his natal Sun (22 Gemini) while its pulled into a “my way or the highway” ego-lock, and bristling. The Donald of the Dark Side, the evil Gemini Twin, will rule the day.

Then on the following day comes the first of three supermoons crowding the last months of 2016. This is when the Moon passes at its closest approach to the Earth. The Full Moon will be slightly bigger, brighter and prone to tidal forces causing earthquakes and volcanic eruptions five days in—on—and five days out. The third and final Presidential debate will catch the waning temblor influence on 19 October when Clinton and Trump duke it out one last time in the capital of boxing, Las Vegas, Nevada. What happens in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas because I predict the largest audience of the three debates will tune in breaking all records in ratings.

 

This is the clincher. Voters will choose their poison that night, either they vote for the corportate-financed poster girl of Citizen United billionaire funding; or, they choose the renegade billionaire who has not special interests funding his campaign. He bankrolls his own way and that way is unpredictable, unknown and scary as it is attractive to many potential voters who, in the last weeks, might be strongly compelled to rethink their vote for Clinton, or think of voting for the first time in their lives for President Unknown—Trump. He’ll make this election very close, despite himself, in a year when fortune favors the maverick, the odd outsider with our collective attention and perhaps our vote.

Mars is poised on the 19th to commit capital “Capricorn” crime when conjunct Pluto (15 degrees Capricorn). One last time in debate, Trump can let generous Jupiter put his lightning bolt in his mouth and say something polarizing and outrageous to the largest TV audience he’ll have throughout the long campaigning. He might close the hearts of millions who might have voted for him. In his case, his higher, insightful Jupiter channeling under the influence of a weak but noisome Natal Mercury square, might flip his conjuring of his unconscious one moment illuminating a vision of genius and originality, the next, channeling the angels of his nativist, misogynistic dark side ever more ill-spoken in miscommunication than his actual position on women, Mexicans, or Muslims.

Clinton will enjoy the advantage of transiting Pluto (15 Capricorn) in sextile with her Venus (16 Scorpio). She will rise that night in her challenging relationship with Trump, taking the high road. She will be balanced, rational. She will come out of the debate the more presidential candidate. It just might promise a landslide on 8 November, thus making my win by two-percent of the popular vote a wrong prediction. A definite “maybe” to take with her into the final days.

She’ll access a momentum of last impressions that she’ll need to roll with, because a whole lot of astrological aspect come rushing to Donald Trump’s aid in the final days of October. On the 29th, Uranus at 21 degrees Aries begins invoking a grand trine with Trump’s natal Moon 21 degrees in Sagittarius in the Fourth House and his natal Mars 26 Leo in his karmic Twelfth House.

It plays into the “surprise” factor of a potential and unexpected upset victory against Clinton. Mars commits another capital, Cardinal in “Capricorn” crime on 29 October squaring the Uranus grand trine of Trump. Cry reckless decisions, throwing caution to the wind. Something happens in the world, either a worsening economic collapse, a terror attack, or a number of peevish and anger-inducing things about the disparity of the wealthy and the impoverished. It all hatches out in the final days of the most important astrological event of 2016.
