Longevity Prospects for George W. Bush

EDITORIAL, Jan 30 (VNN) — I recently received the January issue of The Astrological Magazine by the Raman group in Bangalore. http://www.astrologicalmagazine.com/ The feature article is entitled World Trends and Tensions which outlines various astrological tendencies for the major countries of the world during the year 2003. I noticed that the editor, Gayatri Devi Vasudev, suggests in various places that the president of the USA could be the object of an assassination attempt. In relation to the USA, she says that " leading political figures will be the targets this year... Any slackness in the security for the head of the country, especially while travelling and flying, can prove costly for the nation," that " The first family may need extrordinary security " and that " the president and the first family may be vulnerable to a violent attempt." Let us examine the astrological justifications for her comments in the horoscope itself of George Winston Bush.

 

What strikes our attention is that the president's longevity isn't so strong to begin with. We can say this because Saturn is afflicted in the ascendent by two bad lords, including Mercury as the lord of two maraka houses. For Bush's ascendent, Cancer, Saturn is the natural planetary indicator of longevity, the lord of the house of longevity and the lord of an additional maraka house ( the seventh ). So his affliction in the very ascendent curtails the prospects for longevity.

 

The major planetary period of Saturn is currently operating. Given the astrological alignment in his chart, how will it be possible for G.W. Bush to pass out of the final part of the major Saturn period without a visit to the court of Yama?

 

We notice that the lord of the current sub period, Jupiter ( Saturn-Jupiter ), does sit in a marakasthan, the third, and it owns another, the sixth. Even so, Bush will probably have the success of the Jupiter sub period right up until his appointment with destiny- Jupiter owns the house of war and is well placed in various ways. But since Jupiter's is the last sub period of the major period of Saturn, we have to expect Saturn-Jupiter to be fatal.

 

Sthira dasha is a system of planetary periods specifically dealing with longevity. In the sthira scheme, the last half of 2003 is particularly deadly for the U.S. president.

 

Another point to factor in is that the Sun of George W. Bush sits right in the house of loss, suggesting that his end will come as the chief executive.

 

Transit-wise, Jupiter enters a negative transit at the end of July. At this point, both of the major transit planets, Jupiter and Saturn, will be passing through negative houses. By mid August, Mercury, the Sun, Jupiter and Venus will all be occupying the house of loss, aspected by the violent Mars. This time period is the most dangerious of all for George W. Bush.

He should not have entered Iraq war/invasion so hastily. Poor judgement.

He's surrounded by thugs - ill advisors, very unfortunate

Prosecutors Vow Not to Retry Tulia Defendants After Sole "Witness" is Discredited

Tues, April 2, 2003

 

Hours after retired state district Judge Ron Chapman urged the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to grant new trials for defendants arrested in the controversial 1999 Tulia drug bust, a special prosecutor vowed yesterday to dismiss the cases if they were sent back.

 

Prosecutors said 38 defendants arrested in the drug sting won't be retried after it was ruled that their convictions were based on questionable testimony from a single undercover agent accused of racial prejudice and prior illegal activity.

 

"We'll dismiss them," Rod Hobson, a special prosecutor assigned to the case that has spurred probes by the Justice Department and the Texas attorney general, told the Associated Press. "It would be foolish for us to go forward."

 

Forty-six - mostly black - residents from the small Texas town of Tulia were arrested on the testimony of undercover agent Thomas Coleman. This most recent trial was ordered to determine whether the defendants were convicted solely on the word of Coleman, and to investigate whether prosecutors had failed to turn over information from Coleman's background that may have cast doubt on his testimony.

 

Defense lawyers and civil rights groups said that the 1999 arrests in the predominantly white town of 5,000 people were racially motivated. Almost 15% of the town’s small black population was arrested in the bust. Other law-enforcement officials testified that Coleman had previously faced theft charges and used a racial epithet.

 

"It is stipulated by all parties and approved by the court that Tom Coleman is simply not a credible witness under oath," said Judge Chapman.

 

Of the 46 people arrested, 40 were black. Seven were convicted and were sentenced to prison terms, one for 99 years; 14 defendants took pleas and were sentenced to prison. Others served time or were sentenced to probation. Cases against 10 were dismissed - one defendant was cleared when his employer showed time cards proving he was at work at the time of the alleged buy; another defendant had bank records proving that she was out of state. The disposition of one could not immediately be determined.

 

All of the evidence came from the uncorroborated testimony of Coleman, a private informant hired by the Sheriff of Tulia to conduct the sting operation. Agent Coleman worked alone and did not use audio or video surveillance during the investigation. Police found no drugs on any of those arrested during the largest sweep on July 23, 1999 when the suspects were pulled from their beds and paraded, still in their nightclothes, across the courthouse lawn in front of television cameras. The Texas Narcotic Control Program later named Coleman "Outstanding Lawman of the Year."

 

In Tulia and around the country, many individual activists, family members, lawyers and advocacy organizations have worked tirelessly for the freedom of the wrongly accused. The William Moses Kunstler Fund for Racial Justice, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund and the American Civil Liberties Union, in particular, were pivotal in leading the legal effort and expanding public pressure. Without their commitment and expertise this victory would not have been possible.

 

The Drug Policy Alliance helped initiate and support this coalition, and kept the media and the public focused on the unfolding scandal. Alliance staff spoke in Tulia and around the country; distributed and publicized a compelling video made by the Kunstler Fund; and was in frequent contact with reporters and columnists at The New York Times and other media outlets, resulting in numerous high-profile stories. Last September the Alliance held the first national conference on race and the war on drugs, Breaking in the Chains: People of Color and the War on Drugs, at which the Tulia case was highlighted in the context of the nationwide movement for drug policy reform. Many family members and activists from Tulia attended the conference, participating in panels, press conferences and other outreach efforts.

How can anyone shorten his lifespan?

Lying under oath, testifying falsely, paying others to do so...
