Guest guest Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Dear friends, Patrick Buchanan is a former Presidential Candidate on the right wing of American politics. He didn´t get very far in politics, but has become known as a media pundit. He has released a new book which is quite pessimistic about the future of his country. The book is quite damning of the policies of President Bush. In the past the views of Buchanan have been brushed off as representing a vocal minority against the basic direction of the country, away from the original white, European and christian values of the founders. In the SAMVA USA chart, the influence of FM Rahu on L4 Venus in H6 is now with more than 70% of the impact as per the " 50 year rule " . This aspect suggests disturbance to the social harmony. A second aspect that is increasingly being felt is that of L8 Saturn on H5 MEP (and other houses with more than 50% of impact at the present time. This aspect suggest obstructions to many areas of the life. These natal afflictions are therefore increasingly having an impact in the life of the country, especially when period or transit influences trigger them. Currently, the Ve/Ju period is highlighting the 6th house of Jupiter, wherein Venus resides. Jupiter is currently weak in transit due to being in a state of infancy in H6, which is undermining the strength of L4 Venus. Moreover the following transits are being felt at the present time: - exact aspect of natal Ketu in H4 (owned by Venus) to transit L10 Mars in H12 - aspect of natal Rahu in H10 (owned by Mars) to transit L8 Saturn in H2 (owned by Sun) This explains why the views of those like Mr. Buchanan are being heard. He is lamenting a more homogenous social situation that is gradually being replaced by a more multicultural one. In my view, the strong basis of the SAMVA USA chart gives reason for continued optimism about the future of the country, despite the growing influence of difficult aspects in the chart. That said, the SAMVA USA chart also shows that there is no turning back of the clock. The country must face and learn to cope with its new more complex identity (Rahu to Venus aspect) and other situations (Saturn aspect on H5, H7, H11 and H2 indications). Best wishes, Thor NEW BUCHANAN BOOK DECLARES 'END OF AMERICA' Sun Nov 25 2007 20:40:15 ET **Exclusive** " America is coming apart, decomposing, and...the likelihood of her survival as one nation...is improbable -- and impossible if America continues on her current course, " declares Pat Buchanan. " For we are on a path to national suicide. " The best-selling author and former presidential candidate is on the eve of launching his new epic book: DAY OR RECKONING: HOW HUBRIS, IDEOLOGY AND GREED ARE TEARING AMERICA APART. This time, Buchanan goes all the way: " America is in an existential crisis from which the nation may not survive. " The U.S. Army is breaking and is too small to meet America's global commitments. The dollar has sunk to historic lows and is being abandoned by foreign governments. U.S. manufacturing is being hollowed out. The greatest invasion in history, from the Third World, is swamping the ethno-cultural core of the country, leading to Balkanization and the loss of the Southwest to Mexico. The culture is collapsing and the nation is being deconstructed along the lines of race and class. A fiscal crisis looms as the unfunded mandates of Social Security and Medicare remain unaddressed. All these crises are hitting America at once -- a perfect storm of crises. Specifically, Buchanan contends: • Pax Americana, the era of U.S. global dominance, is over. A struggle for global hegemony has begun among the United States, China, a resurgent Russia and radical Islam • Bush's invasion of Iraq was a product of hubris and of ideology, a secular religion of " democratism, " to which Bush was converted in the days following 9/11 • Torn asunder by a culture war, America has now begun to break down along class, ethnic and racial lines. • The greatest threat to U.S. sovereignty and independence is the scheme of a global elite to erase America's borders and merge the USA, Mexico and Canada into a North American Union. • Free trade is shipping jobs, factories and technology to China and plunging America into permanent dependency and unpayable debt. One of every six U.S. manufacturing jobs vanished under Bush • " Sovereign Wealth Funds, " controlled by foreign regimes and stuffed with trillions of dollars from U.S. trade deficits, are buying up strategic corporate assets vital to America's security • As U.S. wages are stagnant, corporate CEOs are raking in rising pay and benefits 400 to 500 times that of their workers • The Third World invasion through Mexico is a graver threat to our survival as one nation than anything happening in Afghanistan or Iraq * European-Americans, 89% of the nation when JFK took the oath, are now 66% and sinking. Before 2050, America is a Third World nation • By 2060, America will add 167 million people and 105 million immigrants will be here, triple the 37 million today. • Hispanics will be over 100 million in 2050 and concentrated in a Southwest most Mexicans believe belongs to them Buchanan's Recommendations: • A new foreign-defense policy that closes most of the 1000 bases overseas, reviews all alliances, and brings home U.S. troops • A purge of neoconservative ideology and the " Cakewalk " crowd " from national power. • To avert a second Cold War, the United States should " get out of Russia's space and get out of Russia's face, " and shut down all U.S. bases on the soil of the former Soviet Union • To reach a cold peace in the culture war, Buchanan urges a return to federalism and the overthrow of our judicial dictatorship by Congressionally mandated restrictions on the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court. • To end the trade deficits and save the dollar, Buchanan urges a Hamiltonian solution: a 20% Border Equity Tax on imports, with the $500 billion raised to be used to end taxation on American producers • To prevent America becoming " a tangle of squabbling nationalities " Buchanan urges: No amnesty for the 12-20 million illegal aliens; a border fence from San Diego to Brownsville; Congressional declarations that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens and English is the language of the United States; and a " timeout " on all immigration.
