Moon begins @ 9:15 PM - when Moon squares the Taurus Sun We are forced to handle any residual tensions, imbalances, and incompatibilities This Last Qtr. Moon known as a crisis of conscience a time when decisions and judgments are made under pressure. Mundane Changes to Watch after the Full Moon on April 28th: Crazy, bizarre and changeable weather will continue this month especially as Jupiter applies to a close meeting with Uranus in flood-like Pisces this Piscean conjunction also means that oil prices and issues around oil are more volatile. Saturn-Uranus met in an opposition on April 26th resulting in stronger and more devastating quakes and volcanoes. Now Saturn is stationing direct on May 30th and into cardinal Libra on July 22nd While Uranus is speeding ahead to enter a new phase for mankind on May 27th into pioneering Aries Mars in hot Leo (fires) in an exact square to the Taurus Sun (May 4th) and oppose Neptune-Chiron in Aquarius (exact June 4th) Mars-Neptune in aspect can be confusing with deceptions leading the way - actions, goals, motivations, and initiatives can seem questionable and often counter-productive. These Mars transits motivate risk taking and are met with resistance being square to the Taurus Sun making for more dangerous fires.

May 5, 2010: With Jupiter-Uranus also meaning unexpected exposure especially with Mercury retro. creating errors. In Erik Prince's (born June 6, 1969) exposure came with transiting Jupiter-Uranus opposing Secret Erik Prince/Blackwater Tape Exposed Erik Prince, the reclusive owner of the Blackwater empire, rarely gives public speeches and when he does he attempts to ban journalists from attending and forbids recording or videotaping of his remarks. On May 5, that is exactly what Prince is trying to do when he speaks at DeVos Fieldhouse as the keynote speaker for the "Tulip Time Festival" in his hometown of Holland, Michigan. He told the event’s organizers no news reporting could be done on his speech and they consented to the ban. Journalists and media associations in Michigan are protesting this attempt to bar reporting on his remarks. Despite Prince’s attempts to shield his speeches from public scrutiny, The Nation magazine has obtained an audio recording of a recent, private speech delivered by Prince to a friendly audience. The speech, which Prince attempted to keep from public consumption, provides a stunning glimpse into his views and future plans and reveals details of previously undisclosed activities of Blackwater. The people of the United States have a right to media coverage of events featuring the owner of a company that generates 90% of its revenue from the United States government. In the speech, Prince proposed that the US government deploy armed private contractors to fight "terrorists" in Nigeria, Yemen, Somalia and Saudi Arabia, specifically to target Iranian influence. He expressed disdain for the Geneva Convention and described Blackwater’s secretive operations at four Forward Operating Bases he controls in Afghanistan.

Large black plumes of smoke were seen spilling into the skies above San Antonio. May 5, 2010: When the "terror dril" began at 7:30 PM EDT in Times Square, Scorpio was rising dealing with hidden agendas Ruler of this chart, Mars was in dramatic Leo near the Mid-Heaven indicating a staged event. Times Square Eyewitness: Bomb Scare Looked Like Drill A You Tube clip shot by an eyewitness near the Times Square car bomb incident on Saturday night highlights why many people who were caught up in the bomb scare thought that the police were running a drill at the time of the botched attack. Eyewitnesses, including those who comment on the video on the You Tube page, are baffled as to why police chose to evacuate some locations and not others, as if certain buildings had been chosen to be evacuated beforehand while others were left alone. Video: May Day, 2010 and the Times Sq Evacuation May 5, 2010: Neptune ruled Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces is creating hysteria over this failed bombing. We should keep in mind that Mars in overly dramatic Leo is opposing Neptune (June 4th) when initiatives seem questionable and often counter-productive. Of course with the potential for such deception, some are asking if this Times Square incident was a typle of false flag operation. Police cameras to flood Manhattan to prevent attacks New York officials say they could stop attacks like the attempted Times Square car bomb by expanding a controversial surveillance system so sensitive that it will pick up even suspicious behavior. New York is already a heavily policed city, with 35,000 officers and a counterterrorism bureau — the first of its kind in the country — partnering the FBI. But Saturday’s failed terrorist bomb in the Times Square tourist hot spot has provided the authorities with a new argument for expanding a sometimes controversial security blanket of cameras, sensors and analytical software May 5, 2010: Yesterday's ingress of the Aquarian Moon was a trigger for these violent protests with a TSQ to Sun-Mercury in Taurus and Mars in Leo and with the Moon opposing Mars today the violence won't subside. Greeks Protests Leave 3 Dead, Buildings Burning May 5 (Bloomberg) -- Greek demonstrations against government austerity measures turned deadly when three people were killed after protesters set fire to a bank in central Athens. Fire officials at the scene said they discovered three bodies in the building, according to a fire-department statement sent by text message today. The building, located near the Greek parliament, housed a branch of Marfin Egnatia Bank SA. At least three more buildings were set on fire and 30 fire trucks and 80 firefighters battled the blazes, fire officials said. Marfin spokesman Serapheim Konstantinidis said that the bank was trying to identify the three victims and couldn’t confirm whether they were employees. A bank worker who escaped the blaze said the fire spread very quickly and it was hard to tell how it started.

The Nasdaq composite (COMP) fell 76 points, or 3%.">Stocks slump on Greek fears May 4, 2010: The combination of recession, economic and geo-political events ala Jupiter Opposing Saturn has finally kicked in regarding survival preparedness Of course having Jupiter-Uranus in hysterical Pisces doesn't help. Saturn is a trigger for prevention and being prepared and the last oppositon to both Jupiter and Uranus has put the idea of major natural disasters on the table. Preparedness goes mainstream: "Preppers" come from all walks of life (and they all want to stay alive) (NaturalNews) Back in the 1990s, the idea of growing food in the suburbs, getting "off the grid," and learning survival skills was thought to be something only militia members and lone rangers living in the woods would do. Today, a new type of survivalism has emerged in light of economic and political turmoil that people from all walks of life are embracing. Sometimes called "preppers," people who prepare in advance for catastrophic events like natural disasters or social chaos are becoming more common in both urban and rural America. What was once considered to be paranoia is quickly becoming a popular social movement of everyday Americans who are trying to be self-sufficient and prepared for anything. May 4, 2010: It is bad enough to Jupiter-Uranus magnifying the flow of oil into water both in Pisces and opposing Saturn (serious restriction) but Pluto retrograde in TSQ to these planets is causing untold destruction. Mother of all gushers could kill Earth's oceans Imagine a pipe 5 feet wide spewing crude oil like a fire hose from what could be the planets' largest, high-pressure oil and gas reserve. With the best technology available to man, the Deepwater Horizon rig popped a hole into that reserve and was overwhelmed. If this isn't contained, it could poison all the oceans of the world. The original estimate was about 5,000 gallons of oil a day spilling into the ocean. Now they're saying 200,000 gallons a day. That's over a million gallons of crude oil a week! I'm engineer with 25 years of experience. I've worked on some big projects with big machines. Maybe that's why this mess is so clear to me. First, the BP platform was drilling for what they call deep oil. They go out where the ocean is about 5,000 feet deep and drill another 30,000 feet into the crust of the earth. This it right on the edge of what human technology can do. Well, this time they hit a pocket of oil at such high pressure that it burst all of their safety valves all the way up to the drilling rig and then caused the rig to explode and sink. Take a moment to grasp the import of that. The pressure behind this oil is so high that it destroyed the maximum effort of human science to contain it.

May 3, 2010: What do you expect! Jupiter in Pisces expands oil and near Uranus oil shocking situations arise Until both Jupiter (June 6th) and Uranus (May 27th) move into Aries this oil spill will stay in the public's mind. Oil Spill TRIPLED In Size In 3 Days BP is preparing a system never tried nearly a mile under water to siphon away the geyser of crude from a blown-out well a mile under Gulf of Mexico waters. However, the plan to lower 74-ton, concrete-and-metal boxes being built to capture the oil and siphon it to a barge waiting at the surface will need at least another six to eight days to get it in place. Crews continued to lay boom in what increasingly feels like a futile effort to slow down the spill, with all ideas to contain the flow failing so far. Fishing ban impacts Gulf fisherman May 3, 2010: False flags, deceptions and videos all relate to Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces and the oppoosition to Saturn (responsiblity) adds to the confusion Also astrologically: overly dramatic Mars in Leo square the Sun in security oriented Taurus (exact May 4th) means bomb scares which create states of emergency. Pentagon Front Group Releases Video Claiming “Taliban” Behind New York Car Bomb “Attack” Question: If you were a real terrorist group who wanted to appear fearsome and mighty, would you really release a statement claiming responsibility for an “attack” that amounted to little more than a car full of fireworks that killed nobody, injured nobody, and was an abject failure? This claim of responsibility holds about as much credibility as if Barney the Purple Dinosaur had made a video saying he did it. MYFOXNY.COM – Fox 5 reports that the Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the bomb plot. According to Fox News , in a 1 minute video allegedly released by the Pakistani Taliban, the group says the attack is revenge for the death of its leader Baitullah Mehsud and the recent killings of the top leaders of al-Qaida in Iraq. May 3, 2010: Montague Keen changes his mind and endorses David Icke's new book: HUMAN RACE, Get off your Knees, The Lyon Sleeps no more (relates to Mars in Leo too) The current Jupiter-Uranus TSQ Saturn-Pluto has a lot of former detractors looking at the potential for a future age of enlightenment. Montague's Message: Sunday 2nd May 2010 As promised my dear we are bringing the right people forward who will become part of our team, as I am part of the Network on this side of life, you too will have a similar network and together we will take the Earth forward to a New Era of Enlightenment for all. Do not look to Religion to guide you forward, they have failed Mankind on every level. The Evidence that I provide is proof that the afterlife truly exists and it certainly not what Religion insist it is. They forbid you to research it, they have burnt people at the Stake for communing with Spirit, this was purely to prevent the Truth about Religion from coming out. They use fear of punishment to prevent you opening up to Spirit. I have told you many times that Fear is as Oxygen to those who control you. Look at what was done recently to create fear, anger, and frustration, while all the time yet more controls were put in place and because your minds were occupied you did not even notice. The true leaders of this take-over hide behind another group who are more visible so that they become the fall-guys. So many have sold out to this just for gain and privilege. Mind Control plays a big part in this, those who are in control are past masters of this. Before Mankind was infiltrated, man was able to travel, lift heavy objects such as Stonehenge, build the Pyramids, create such marvels such as Newgrange. Soon Mankind will have all such abilities restored. Man will learn once more how to control his body with his mind through the power of Soul consciousness, all these links will be restored. Each and every one of you is a precious Being of Light, sadly you have been crushed by those who see you as theirs to control. Mankind is waking up my love, Remember in Seance I told all of you that David Icke was writing a book that should be read by everyone, please my dear give details of this profound work, it will bring evidence that all that I have told you is absolutely correct. The timing of this publication is perfect and guided. When on Earth I foolishly listened to those who depicted David Icke as an oddity to be ignored, not taken seriously, there are those who still try to prevent people from taking him seriously only because through such as Icke you may learn the truth. It is decision time for all of you, you are now at the fork in the road. David Icke's book; HUMAN RACE, Get off your Knees, The Lyon Sleeps no more. He takes the Manipulation of the Human Race and the Nature of Reality to still New Levels of Understanding. Thank you my love, interesting times are before you and those we can trust. Truth cannot be kept from mankind, it has remained hidden for far too long and mankind has suffered as a result. May 3, 2010: More surprise judicial and legal decisions with Jupiter in contact with Uranus in Pisces (religion involved/Christian) Since Jupiter is also in a growing opposition to Saturn we see that the "Christian militia group freed on bond over the objections of federal prosecutors." Judge orders release of 9 Hutaree militia A federal judge in Detroit today ordered the release of nine members of a Lenawee County Christian militia group freed on bond over the objections of federal prosecutors. “The United States is correct that it need not wait until people are killed before it arrests conspirators,” U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts said in a 36-page decision. “But, the Defendants are also correct: their right to engage in hate-filled, venomous speech, is a right that deserves First Amendment protection.” She said federal prosecutors failed to persuade her that the defendants must be jailed until trial. May 3, 2010: Jupiter (represents banking) opposing Saturn (serious situation) is about a total lack in confidence in our financial institutions. This is all aggravated by Mars in Leo (aggresive by showy acctions) square Sun in Taurus (conservative views) Bank of America Hit with Mark of the Beast Graffiti Protesters fed up with cheating banksters have struck in Albuquerque, New Mexico. KOB in Albuquerque reports that several Bank of American locations were recently targets of vandalism. “It’s an extreme attack with bold numbers and symbols that are puzzling people passing by,” the news station reports. “A stunned viewer snapped some pictures of the destruction. They show, in bold red, a heart, a money symbol and the numbers 6 6 6. There’s also paint splatter on glass, ATM machines are drenched in paint and even a Bank of America sign took a hit. The city says in all six banks were vandalized.” Decoding this is not difficult. The message can be translated as follows: “Bank of America loves money and Satan.” 666 is the Mark of the Beast mentioned in the Book of Revelation. KOB received an email related to the message: “we the working class are tired of being slaves to the credit system and financial institutions… we must take direct action against the institutions that have failed us… through peaceful acts of civil disobedience, our first action has been to target these same financial institutions that have robbed the people blind.” Video: Vandals tag 6 Albuquerque banks with 666 symbol May 3, 2010: Again with have the underlying theme of water and more water with Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces With Moon (Sag.) square Jupiter-Uranus Sunday AM the unexpected interruption of the water supply Repaired pipe holds; drinking water expected within 48 hours WESTON — High-pressure water tests through two huge pipes welders rejoined early this morning show that repairs worked, and state officials say they expect drinking water to be restored to 2 million Greater Boston residents within 48 hours.

May 2, 2010: Jupiter-Uranus together in Pisces reflects more cases of financial fraud. Jupiter/Pisces Opposite Saturn/Virgo marks the halfway point in a 20-year economic and political cycle. Deep political/economic divisions will become apparent during the course of this alignment. Confidence in “the system” is lost. Confessions Of A Wall St. Nihilist: Forget About Goldman Sachs, Our Entire Economy Is Built On Fraud There was a strange moment last week during President Obama's speech at Cooper Union. There he was, groveling before a cast of Wall Street villains including Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein, begging them to "Look into your heart!" like John Turturro's character in Miller's Crossing...when out of the blue, the POTUS dropped this bombshell: "The only people who ought to fear the kind of oversight and transparency that we're proposing are those whose conduct will fail this scrutiny." The Big Secret, of course, is that every living creature within a 100-mile radius of Cooper Union would fail "this scrutiny"--or that scrutiny, or any scrutiny, period. Not just in a 100-mile radius, but wherever there are still signs of economic life beating in these 50 United States, the mere whiff of scrutiny would work like nerve gas on what's left of the economy. Because in the 21st century, fraud is as American as baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet Volts--fraud's all we got left, Doc. Scare off the fraud with Obama's "scrutiny," and the entire pyramid scheme collapses in a heap of smoldering savings accounts. May 2, 2010: Again with the overly dramatic Mars in Leo square the Sun in security oriented Taurus means bomb scares which create states of emergency. While Jupiter opposing Saturn is all about blaming someone. Will Feds Blame Car Bomb On Patriots? Police have “rendered safe” a car bomb found inside a sport utility vehicle that triggered the evacuation of New York’s Times Square on Saturday night. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has told a news conference it could have turned into a very deadly event. Editor: The last time a building in Times Square was bombed, the small explosion which hit a military recruitment center in March 2008, the corporate media floated the myth that 9/11 truthers were responsible. How long will it be before the feds blame this thwarted car bombing on Tea Partiers, Constitutionalists, gun owners, or whoever they wish to demonize next? We have been warning for weeks about an imminent false flag domestic terror attack that would be used to demonize the government’s political opposition and this appears to have been such an attempt. It just remains to be seen who will be fingered as the culprit by an establishment media straining at the leash to justify characterizations of angry but non-violent Americans as dangerous extremists.

Benedict also ordered a special commission to study the Legionaries constitutions and said a Vatican expert would investigate its lay arm, Regnum Christi. The decisions were made after five Vatican investigators reported back to Benedict and other Vatican officials about an eight-month global inquiry into the order to determine its future after its founder was so thoroughly discredited by revelations of his double life. In a statement, the Vatican excoriated the Rev. Marciel Maciel for creating a "system of power" built on silence, deceit and obedience that enabled him to lead a double life "devoid of any scruples and authentic sense of religion" and allowed him to abuse young boys unchecked.

Fingers of oily sheen were reaching the Mississippi River delta, lapping the Louisiana shoreline in long, thin lines. April 29, 2010: As Jupiter continues to apply to Uranus in Pisces and oppose Saturn, this oil spill should get worse. Louisiana oil spill from Horizon Deepwater explosion expected to dwarf Exxon Valdez disaster President Obama is considering sending in the military to deal with the Louisiana oil spill that turns out to be five times worse than expected and will make landfall as early as Friday. "This is a spill of national significance," Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano said at the White House, before heading to the Gulf Coast to oversee the crisis response. "We are being very aggressive, and we are prepared for the worst case," said Coast Guard Rear Adm. Sally Brice-O'Hara. April 29, 2010: Mars opposing Neptune indicates that some initiatives seem questionable and often counter-productive even if well intentioned. KFC Cures Cancer (The Comedy) April 29, 2010: The combination of Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces creates panic especially with an opposition to Saturn Take note that Mars in aggressive Leo in a square to Sun (leaders) in security-oriented Taurus could signal an a surprise attack from Israel Egypt: Lebanon in 'panic' over fear of Israeli attack "Complete panic" is reigning in Lebanon because of fears of an Israeli attack and another war, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a closed meeting earlier this week, sources say. The panic was spurred by the recent reports that Syria has delivered Scud missiles to Hezbollah. But senior diplomats have told Haaretz that Western intelligence agencies, including those of the United States, have been unable to independently confirm that such missiles have been sent to the Shi'ite group. In recent months, Israel has used diplomatic channels via the United States and European Union to relay warnings that Syria was transferring advanced weapons systems to Hezbollah. April 29, 2010: In accordance with the accelerated Jupiter (legislation) and Uranus (fast track) together in hidden Pisces with today's secretive Scorpio Moon and Pallas (strategy) HR 2499 - Statehood for Puerto Rico is moving forward. Note that the fireworks are just starting with applying Sun-Mars square where takeovers and coflicts heat up. HR 2499 – Statehood for Puerto Rico Secret Fast-Tracked Vote to Make Puerto Rico 51st State Glenn Beck and others such as Hot Air are breaking this quick-moving story that the Socialist Democrats in congress are planning a vote on Thursday Apr. 29 to make poverty-ridden Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico the 51st state. Reports indicate House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) says there will be a vote on Thursday on HR 2499 the Puerto Rico Democracy Act. Though there are claims that the bill is “non-binding” and most Puerto Ricans aren’t looking to become a state, the legislation seems engineered to make this hard to avoid. In fact, the ultra-secrecy with which this has come up only tends to support this contention. April 29, 2010: With announcements and pronouncements (Sun-Mercury) swirling around about the potential alien agenda (Jupiter-Uranus) creating conflict especially those who have their own interests at heart (Dr. Greer) In fact as Mars-Sun move into a square (May 4th) the arguments will get heated about who are the good aliens. Dr. Steven Greer’s Response to Stephen Hawking’s Comment on Aliens with comments by Wes Penre It is interesting how Dr. Greer is always attacking everybody who says that aliens, or at least some of them, visiting us are malevolent towards mankind. He did the same to me after he’d released his long video with the 500+ witnesses. I was met with aggression and antagonism when I suggested that we can’t trust that every single alien race coming here is our friend — same treatment was given Project Camelot and others. This comment from Dr. Greer is a response to a previous post on this blog: “Don’t Talk to Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking“. I am not in agreement with Hawking either, and believe we have to be very careful when contacting alien species — whether they are from outer space, inter-dimensonal or already here on Earth. It can be extremely hard to distinguish the good intended from their opposites. To be able to do that, the human spirit has to be highly evolved and very psychic, so we can feel out the energies and trust our intuition. So, like I’ve suggested so many times before, we need to develop our spiritual selves and wake up to what is happening all around us. Our only chance to graduate from this chaotic 3D reality is to evolve spiritually. And there is not much time. Still, we CAN do it!

NASA Announces Wednesday Media Teleconference About Search For Extraterrestrial Life WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news media teleconference at 1:30 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, April 28, to discuss the status of agency-sponsored astrobiology research, including the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life and the study of how life began on Earth. Topics also will include the quest for evidence of life on Mars, the habitability of other celestial bodies, and future technology research. This week, NASA and scientists from around the world are gathering at a biennial meeting near Houston to celebrate 50 years of astrobiology research. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. Scientists gathered to share new data and insights, initiate and advance collaborations, plan new projects, and educate the next generation of astrobiologists. NASA:Project BlueBeam ? April 28, 2010: This law is totally insane and from an astrological point of view relates to Pisces-Neptune and the 12th house With Jupiter (expansion) moving closer to Uranus (shocking events) both in Pisces, this type of convoluted legislation fits the transits. Mercury is also retro. near the Sun and TSQ Moon-Mars creating lots of reactions to this type of silliness. Falsehoods, Untruths and White Lies Target of New Lie Ban Telling a lie on public sidewalks in San Francisco would be prohibited under legislation proposed Tuesday by Supervisor Chris Daly, with repeat "fish stories" carrying a maximum penalty of $500 and 30 days in jail, though San Franciscans would be free to bear false witness elsewhere, such as parks, public buildings, and City Hall. Lying is "telling statements with the deliberate intent to deceive," Daly said Tuesday, "and I don't think we should be lying to one another on our city sidewalks." Daly's law is nearly identical in language to the much-ballyhooed "sit-lie ordinance" proposed by Mayor Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Police Department chief George Gascon, but goes a step further in bringing all "lying" on public sidewalks under a ban, not merely lying down or sitting down. That ordinance will likely appear on the November ballot. Enforcement and determination of whether or a not a citizen is telling a false statement would be left up to the San Francisco Police Department, said Daly, who added that "white lies, he-said-she-saids," and even the Platonic "noble lie" could fall under the ban if police so determine. April 28, 2010: At this point there should be no doubt that GMO foods (Genetically Modified Organisms) are harmful to humans. The fact that animals that eat GM foodstuffs lose their ability to reproduce relates to the Scorpio Full Moon today. Russia says genetically modified foods are harmful Russia has started the annual Days of Defence against Environmental Hazards from the 15th of April to the 5th of June with the announcement of sensational results of an independent work of research. Scientists have proved that Genetically Modified Organisms are harmful for mammals. The researchers discovered that animals that eat GM foodstuffs lose their ability to reproduce. Campbell hamsters that have a fast reproduction rate were fed for two years with ordinary soya beans, which are widely used in agriculture and those contain different percentages of GM organisms. Another group of hamsters, the control group, was fed with pure soya, which was found with great difficulty in Serbia because 95 percent of soya in the world is transgenic. Concerning the experiment carried out jointly by the National Association for Gene Security and the Institute of Ecological and Evolutional Problems, Dr. Alexei Surov has this to say. “We selected several groups of hamsters, kept them in pairs in cells and gave them ordinary food as always,” says Alexei Surov. “We did not add anything for one group but the other was fed with soya that contained no GM components, while the third group with some content of Genetically Modified Organisms and the fourth one with increased amount of GMO. We monitored their behavior and how they gain weight and when they give birth to their cubs. Originally, everything went smoothly. However, we noticed quite a serious effect when we selected new pairs from their cubs and continued to feed them as before. These pairs’ growth rate was slower and reached their sexual maturity slowly. When we got some of their cubs we formed the new pairs of the third generation. We failed to get cubs from these pairs, which were fed with GM foodstuffs. It was proved that these pairs lost their ability to give birth to their cubs,” Dr. Alexei Surov said. April 28, 2010: Another more sustainable way to look at this creative Scorpio Full Moon with Sun-Mercury in garden oriented Taurus - let's start depaving and planting now! Depaving Portland: Who Says Cities Have to be Islands of Concrete? The residents of Portland, Ore. are tearing their city up. Literally. The Portland-based nonprofit Depave, in partnership with Carfree Portland, has been organizing volunteer work parties to remove thousands of square feet of concrete pavement and "free the soil" beneath. According to Depave.org, getting rid of unnecessary pavement will "reduce stormwater pollution and increase the amount of land available for habitat restoration, urban farming, trees, native vegetation, and beauty, thus providing us with greater connections to the natural world." That's a lot of benefit to leave wrapped in cement. But it's not all jackhammers and bits of broken rock. Working with local property owners, Depave teams have been replacing barren parking lots with urban gardens and community green spaces—key contributors to healthy, livable cities. April 28, 2010: A busy Full Moon filled with major news announcements with Moon-Mercury in Taurus in an oppositon to the Moon in Pluto ruled Scorpio TSQ Mars in fiery Leo Setting the background and theme for today is Jupiter-Uranus in oil-water oriented Pisces in an oppositiont to Saturn adding a serious, crisis filled urgency Oil Spill to be Set Ablaze April 28, 2010: Note that when the derivative mess first blew up was back in September 2008 when the first Saturn-Uranus opposition in mutable Virgo-Pisces first happened. Now on this Full Moon, we just passed the final and fourth oppositon of Saturn-Uranus in Virgo/Pisces axis on April 26th. The next opposition which is a TSQ occurs in July 2010 and has Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus in Aries TSQ Pluto in Capricorn in "much more active" cardinal signs! Cardinal signs are impulsive and take no prisoners... Seize and Liquidate Goldman Sachs by Webster G. Tarpley Today’s Senate hearings, carried on CNBC, Bloomberg, and C-SPAN, represent the first major exposure of the American people to the scandalous frauds of the derivatives casino, including synthetic collateralized debt obligations (synthetic CDOs or CDO²). These are things most people have heard very little about. They begin to open up the shocking reality behind such shopworn euphemisms like “toxic assets,” “exotic instruments,” and “troubled assets.” Reactionaries in general and Republicans in particular have done everything possible to hide the role of derivatives, which must be considered the main cause of the financial panic of September 2008 which brought down Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and AIG, after felling Bear Stearns in March of the same year. The reactionary legend, repeated yesterday on the Senate floor by financier minion GOP Sen. Gregg of New Hampshire, is that the crisis was caused by poor people taking out subprime mortgages and then defaulting, bringing down the entire Anglo-American banking system and triggering the bailouts. Either that, or too much government spending was too blame. A mass of kited derivatives blew up in September 2008 This Big Lie has come from such propaganda sources as the Limbaugh Institute of Retarded Reactionary Ranting. But the $1.5 trillion in subprime mortgages were dwarfed by the $15 trillion US residential real estate market, to say nothing of the $1.5 thousand trillion world derivatives bubble. But, starting with Bush-Goldman Sachs Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the talk has been of a “housing correction,” not a derivatives panic. It must be pointed out that derivatives are nothing but wagers, bets placed from a distance on securities which themselves are often not mortgages, but rather other derivatives. The bettor buying a synthetic CDO or CDO² does not own the underlying mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, any more than someone who bets on a racehorse owns part of the horse. Blankfein and others tried to portray derivatives as a service to hedgers and end-users, but it’s clear that the vast majority of derivatives involve neither hedgers nor users, but only bettors on both side of the transaction. It is in any case this mass of kited derivatives which blew up in 2008, bringing on the present world economic depression.

Greece Just Tip of Debt Crisis Iceberg: Roubini S&P Downgrades Greece To Junk - Full Obituary Enclosed The sovereign debt crisis will get worse and bond vigilantes could move on to even bigger economies like the United States and Japan when they are done sweeping through vulnerable European nations, according to economist Nouriel Roubini. With government debt across the world soaring, the man who predicted the credit crunch is predicting a reckoning. "The recent problems faced by Greece are only the tip of a sovereign-debt iceberg in many advanced economies,” Roubini told readers of his RGE Monitor Web site.

Blackmail: How The Controlling Elite Owns Politicians Homosexual rumors surrounding Senator Lindsey Graham underscore the core reason why the vast majority of Congress members habitually support legislation that is anathema to the interests of the people they are supposed to represent, because politicians rarely achieve positions of influence without being beholden to one form of blackmail or another. ALIPAC’s William Gheen provoked national headlines last week during a speech in front of thousands of Tea Party supporters when he publicly requested that Graham come out of the closet and admit that he is gay. “William Gheen called on Senator Lindsey Graham to be honest with American voters about his homosexual lifestyle to assure that Graham’s desire to keep it a secret could no longer be potentially used by political insiders to manipulate Graham’s behavior,” reports Before It’s News. “There are many precedents in American politics where affairs, corruption, addictions, and other situations that politicians wanted concealed were used to manipulate them with unfair advantage.” April 27, 2010: Here we go again with another Noah's ark discovery and with Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces this Biblical theme of a massive flood fits perfectly with these transits. Evangelists claim to have found Noah's ark - 4000m up mountain A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers said on Monday they believe they may have found Noah's Ark - 4000m up a mountain in Turkey. The team say they recovered wooden specimens from a structure on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey that carbon dating proved was 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have been afloat. "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it," said Yeung Wing-cheung, a Hong Kong documentary filmmaker and member of the 15-strong team from Noah's Ark Ministries International. April 27, 2010: On the cusp of the next Full Moon tomorrow, Saturn-Uranus in opposition relates to the Avatar message where the Na’vi’s planet of Pandora are being plundered and destroyed by the military-industrial complex. “Avatar” Director James Cameron Follows Box Office Success with Advocacy for Indigenous Struggles On the heels of his record-setting Hollywood blockbuster “Avatar”, the film director James Cameron is taking on a new role as an activist. Since its release last year, “Avatar” has become the highest grossing-movie of all time, topping only Cameron’s previous film, “Titanic.” Avatar centers around an indigenous species called the Na’vi resisting the private military force of a powerful corporation that’s trying to mine a valuable mineral on the Na’vi’s planet of Pandora. Well in real-life, Cameron is now allying himself with indigenous struggles he says mirror the story told in his film. This weekend, James Cameron attended the Ninth Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues here in New York along with hundreds of indigenous activists from around the world. He had just returned from Brazil, where he traveled with the group Amazon Watch to join protests against construction of the Bello Monte dam, which opponents say will devastate indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest.

Here are Ray Merriman's MMA Comments for the Week Begining May 3, 2010 " We are now right in the middle of the three-week Mercury retrograde time band of April 19-May 11. As stated last week, “The middle of that period can also coincide with a market reversal, +/- 2 trading days. That equates to Friday, April 30. The rule is that any market that did not reverse around the time of the retrograde date will usually have a sudden turn around the middle of the retrograde period. It is very rare that a market makes it all the way through Mercury retrograde without a reversal of some importance.” As we look at various markets, we will note that currencies against the U.S. Dollar have been in a down trend and U.S. Treasuries and Gold in an uptrend. However, in the case of Gold, it did make a reversal from a low right at the time of the retrograde, so it need not be affected by the mid-Mercury reversal phenomenon.

Vanuatu Preps for Evacuation as Gaua Volcano May Erupt Soon Vanuatu is currently prepping for an evacuation of 3000 people. The Gaua volcano has started back up and again recently seen an increase in activity. Now the volcano has begun to release ash plumes. Officials in Vanuatu are watching the Gaua Volcano very closely. They are currently prepping for a possible evacuation of 3000 locals to Sola on Vanualava island. Eruption activity began at Gaua in November 2009 and then subsided until recently. The volcano has started releasing ash plumes again and may erupt soon. The activity over the last few months has consisted of some eruptions and ash, but an officer of Vanuatu’s National Disaster Planning Management Office thinks the activity is on the increase. This is why they are quickly prepping for an evacuation. No definite time frame for an evacuation is set.

Scientists are watching Katla carefully. The last time Eyjafjallajökull erupted, it continued belching the Earth's unsettled insides for 14 months, from December 1821 to January 1823. Scientists do not expect Eyjafjallajökull to keep northern Europe's airports closed for 14 months, but they suggest that Eyjafjallajökull's impact on world travel might not end with the end of this current eruption.

In recent months, Israel has used diplomatic channels via the United States and European Union to relay warnings that Syria was transferring advanced weapons systems to Hezbollah. April 29, 2010: In accordance with the accelerated Jupiter (legislation) and Uranus (fast track) together in hidden Pisces with today's secretive Scorpio Moon and Pallas (strategy) HR 2499 - Statehood for Puerto Rico is moving forward. Note that the fireworks are just starting with applying Sun-Mars square where takeovers and coflicts heat up. HR 2499 – Statehood for Puerto Rico Secret Fast-Tracked Vote to Make Puerto Rico 51st State Glenn Beck and others such as Hot Air are breaking this quick-moving story that the Socialist Democrats in congress are planning a vote on Thursday Apr. 29 to make poverty-ridden Spanish-speaking Puerto Rico the 51st state. Reports indicate House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) says there will be a vote on Thursday on HR 2499 the Puerto Rico Democracy Act. Though there are claims that the bill is “non-binding” and most Puerto Ricans aren’t looking to become a state, the legislation seems engineered to make this hard to avoid. In fact, the ultra-secrecy with which this has come up only tends to support this contention. April 29, 2010: With announcements and pronouncements (Sun-Mercury) swirling around about the potential alien agenda (Jupiter-Uranus) creating conflict especially those who have their own interests at heart (Dr. Greer) In fact as Mars-Sun move into a square (May 4th) the arguments will get heated about who are the good aliens. Dr. Steven Greer’s Response to Stephen Hawking’s Comment on Aliens with comments by Wes Penre It is interesting how Dr. Greer is always attacking everybody who says that aliens, or at least some of them, visiting us are malevolent towards mankind. He did the same to me after he’d released his long video with the 500+ witnesses. I was met with aggression and antagonism when I suggested that we can’t trust that every single alien race coming here is our friend — same treatment was given Project Camelot and others. This comment from Dr. Greer is a response to a previous post on this blog: “Don’t Talk to Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking“. I am not in agreement with Hawking either, and believe we have to be very careful when contacting alien species — whether they are from outer space, inter-dimensonal or already here on Earth. It can be extremely hard to distinguish the good intended from their opposites. To be able to do that, the human spirit has to be highly evolved and very psychic, so we can feel out the energies and trust our intuition. So, like I’ve suggested so many times before, we need to develop our spiritual selves and wake up to what is happening all around us. Our only chance to graduate from this chaotic 3D reality is to evolve spiritually. And there is not much time. Still, we CAN do it!

NASA Announces Wednesday Media Teleconference About Search For Extraterrestrial Life WASHINGTON -- NASA will hold a news media teleconference at 1:30 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, April 28, to discuss the status of agency-sponsored astrobiology research, including the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life and the study of how life began on Earth. Topics also will include the quest for evidence of life on Mars, the habitability of other celestial bodies, and future technology research. This week, NASA and scientists from around the world are gathering at a biennial meeting near Houston to celebrate 50 years of astrobiology research. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution and future of life in the universe. Scientists gathered to share new data and insights, initiate and advance collaborations, plan new projects, and educate the next generation of astrobiologists. NASA:Project BlueBeam ? April 28, 2010: This law is totally insane and from an astrological point of view relates to Pisces-Neptune and the 12th house With Jupiter (expansion) moving closer to Uranus (shocking events) both in Pisces, this type of convoluted legislation fits the transits. Mercury is also retro. near the Sun and TSQ Moon-Mars creating lots of reactions to this type of silliness. Falsehoods, Untruths and White Lies Target of New Lie Ban Telling a lie on public sidewalks in San Francisco would be prohibited under legislation proposed Tuesday by Supervisor Chris Daly, with repeat "fish stories" carrying a maximum penalty of $500 and 30 days in jail, though San Franciscans would be free to bear false witness elsewhere, such as parks, public buildings, and City Hall. Lying is "telling statements with the deliberate intent to deceive," Daly said Tuesday, "and I don't think we should be lying to one another on our city sidewalks." Daly's law is nearly identical in language to the much-ballyhooed "sit-lie ordinance" proposed by Mayor Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Police Department chief George Gascon, but goes a step further in bringing all "lying" on public sidewalks under a ban, not merely lying down or sitting down. That ordinance will likely appear on the November ballot. Enforcement and determination of whether or a not a citizen is telling a false statement would be left up to the San Francisco Police Department, said Daly, who added that "white lies, he-said-she-saids," and even the Platonic "noble lie" could fall under the ban if police so determine. April 28, 2010: At this point there should be no doubt that GMO foods (Genetically Modified Organisms) are harmful to humans. The fact that animals that eat GM foodstuffs lose their ability to reproduce relates to the Scorpio Full Moon today. Russia says genetically modified foods are harmful Russia has started the annual Days of Defence against Environmental Hazards from the 15th of April to the 5th of June with the announcement of sensational results of an independent work of research. Scientists have proved that Genetically Modified Organisms are harmful for mammals. The researchers discovered that animals that eat GM foodstuffs lose their ability to reproduce. Campbell hamsters that have a fast reproduction rate were fed for two years with ordinary soya beans, which are widely used in agriculture and those contain different percentages of GM organisms. Another group of hamsters, the control group, was fed with pure soya, which was found with great difficulty in Serbia because 95 percent of soya in the world is transgenic. Concerning the experiment carried out jointly by the National Association for Gene Security and the Institute of Ecological and Evolutional Problems, Dr. Alexei Surov has this to say. “We selected several groups of hamsters, kept them in pairs in cells and gave them ordinary food as always,” says Alexei Surov. “We did not add anything for one group but the other was fed with soya that contained no GM components, while the third group with some content of Genetically Modified Organisms and the fourth one with increased amount of GMO. We monitored their behavior and how they gain weight and when they give birth to their cubs. Originally, everything went smoothly. However, we noticed quite a serious effect when we selected new pairs from their cubs and continued to feed them as before. These pairs’ growth rate was slower and reached their sexual maturity slowly. When we got some of their cubs we formed the new pairs of the third generation. We failed to get cubs from these pairs, which were fed with GM foodstuffs. It was proved that these pairs lost their ability to give birth to their cubs,” Dr. Alexei Surov said. April 28, 2010: Another more sustainable way to look at this creative Scorpio Full Moon with Sun-Mercury in garden oriented Taurus - let's start depaving and planting now! Depaving Portland: Who Says Cities Have to be Islands of Concrete? The residents of Portland, Ore. are tearing their city up. Literally. The Portland-based nonprofit Depave, in partnership with Carfree Portland, has been organizing volunteer work parties to remove thousands of square feet of concrete pavement and "free the soil" beneath. According to Depave.org, getting rid of unnecessary pavement will "reduce stormwater pollution and increase the amount of land available for habitat restoration, urban farming, trees, native vegetation, and beauty, thus providing us with greater connections to the natural world." That's a lot of benefit to leave wrapped in cement. But it's not all jackhammers and bits of broken rock. Working with local property owners, Depave teams have been replacing barren parking lots with urban gardens and community green spaces—key contributors to healthy, livable cities. April 28, 2010: A busy Full Moon filled with major news announcements with Moon-Mercury in Taurus in an oppositon to the Moon in Pluto ruled Scorpio TSQ Mars in fiery Leo Setting the background and theme for today is Jupiter-Uranus in oil-water oriented Pisces in an oppositiont to Saturn adding a serious, crisis filled urgency Oil Spill to be Set Ablaze April 28, 2010: Note that when the derivative mess first blew up was back in September 2008 when the first Saturn-Uranus opposition in mutable Virgo-Pisces first happened. Now on this Full Moon, we just passed the final and fourth oppositon of Saturn-Uranus in Virgo/Pisces axis on April 26th. The next opposition which is a TSQ occurs in July 2010 and has Saturn in Libra opposing Uranus in Aries TSQ Pluto in Capricorn in "much more active" cardinal signs! Cardinal signs are impulsive and take no prisoners... Seize and Liquidate Goldman Sachs by Webster G. Tarpley Today’s Senate hearings, carried on CNBC, Bloomberg, and C-SPAN, represent the first major exposure of the American people to the scandalous frauds of the derivatives casino, including synthetic collateralized debt obligations (synthetic CDOs or CDO²). These are things most people have heard very little about. They begin to open up the shocking reality behind such shopworn euphemisms like “toxic assets,” “exotic instruments,” and “troubled assets.” Reactionaries in general and Republicans in particular have done everything possible to hide the role of derivatives, which must be considered the main cause of the financial panic of September 2008 which brought down Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and AIG, after felling Bear Stearns in March of the same year. The reactionary legend, repeated yesterday on the Senate floor by financier minion GOP Sen. Gregg of New Hampshire, is that the crisis was caused by poor people taking out subprime mortgages and then defaulting, bringing down the entire Anglo-American banking system and triggering the bailouts. Either that, or too much government spending was too blame. A mass of kited derivatives blew up in September 2008 This Big Lie has come from such propaganda sources as the Limbaugh Institute of Retarded Reactionary Ranting. But the $1.5 trillion in subprime mortgages were dwarfed by the $15 trillion US residential real estate market, to say nothing of the $1.5 thousand trillion world derivatives bubble. But, starting with Bush-Goldman Sachs Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, the talk has been of a “housing correction,” not a derivatives panic. It must be pointed out that derivatives are nothing but wagers, bets placed from a distance on securities which themselves are often not mortgages, but rather other derivatives. The bettor buying a synthetic CDO or CDO² does not own the underlying mortgages or mortgage-backed securities, any more than someone who bets on a racehorse owns part of the horse. Blankfein and others tried to portray derivatives as a service to hedgers and end-users, but it’s clear that the vast majority of derivatives involve neither hedgers nor users, but only bettors on both side of the transaction. It is in any case this mass of kited derivatives which blew up in 2008, bringing on the present world economic depression.

Blackmail: How The Controlling Elite Owns Politicians Homosexual rumors surrounding Senator Lindsey Graham underscore the core reason why the vast majority of Congress members habitually support legislation that is anathema to the interests of the people they are supposed to represent, because politicians rarely achieve positions of influence without being beholden to one form of blackmail or another. ALIPAC’s William Gheen provoked national headlines last week during a speech in front of thousands of Tea Party supporters when he publicly requested that Graham come out of the closet and admit that he is gay. “William Gheen called on Senator Lindsey Graham to be honest with American voters about his homosexual lifestyle to assure that Graham’s desire to keep it a secret could no longer be potentially used by political insiders to manipulate Graham’s behavior,” reports Before It’s News. “There are many precedents in American politics where affairs, corruption, addictions, and other situations that politicians wanted concealed were used to manipulate them with unfair advantage.” April 27, 2010: Here we go again with another Noah's ark discovery and with Jupiter-Uranus in Pisces this Biblical theme of a massive flood fits perfectly with these transits. Evangelists claim to have found Noah's ark - 4000m up mountain A group of Chinese and Turkish evangelical explorers said on Monday they believe they may have found Noah's Ark - 4000m up a mountain in Turkey. The team say they recovered wooden specimens from a structure on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey that carbon dating proved was 4800 years old, around the same time the ark is said to have been afloat. "It's not 100 per cent that it is Noah's Ark but we think it is 99.9 per cent that this is it," said Yeung Wing-cheung, a Hong Kong documentary filmmaker and member of the 15-strong team from Noah's Ark Ministries International. April 27, 2010: On the cusp of the next Full Moon tomorrow, Saturn-Uranus in opposition relates to the Avatar message where the Na’vi’s planet of Pandora are being plundered and destroyed by the military-industrial complex. “Avatar” Director James Cameron Follows Box Office Success with Advocacy for Indigenous Struggles On the heels of his record-setting Hollywood blockbuster “Avatar”, the film director James Cameron is taking on a new role as an activist. Since its release last year, “Avatar” has become the highest grossing-movie of all time, topping only Cameron’s previous film, “Titanic.” Avatar centers around an indigenous species called the Na’vi resisting the private military force of a powerful corporation that’s trying to mine a valuable mineral on the Na’vi’s planet of Pandora. Well in real-life, Cameron is now allying himself with indigenous struggles he says mirror the story told in his film. This weekend, James Cameron attended the Ninth Session of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues here in New York along with hundreds of indigenous activists from around the world. He had just returned from Brazil, where he traveled with the group Amazon Watch to join protests against construction of the Bello Monte dam, which opponents say will devastate indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest. April 26, 2010: The inital explosion of the Oil Rig was on a Tuesday (Mars day) April 20th @ 10: PM. So Water/Oil and Fire with Sagittarius rising @ 10 PM CDT when the explosion hit the oil rig. Ruler of the Sagittrian Ascendant, Jupiter (expansion) is near Uranus both in Pisces associated with oil in the 4th house opposing Saturn in the 10th making this situation even more serious. Chiron the wounded healer had just entered Pisces Area of Oil Spill Expanding in Gulf NEW ORLEANS — Coast Guard officials said Monday afternoon that the oil spill near Louisiana was now covering an area in the Gulf of Mexico of 48 miles by 39 miles at its widest points, and they have been unable to engage a mechanism that could shut off the well thousands of feet below the ocean’s surface. The response team was trying three tacks to address a spill caused by an explosion on an oil rig last week: one that could stop the leaks within hours, one that would take months, and one that would not stop the leaks but would capture the oil and deliver it to the surface while permanent measures were pursued. On Sunday morning, officials began using remote-controlled vehicles to try to activate the blowout preventer, a 450-ton valve sitting at the wellhead, 5,000 feet below the ocean’s surface. The blowout preventer can seal off the well to prevent sudden pressure releases that possibly led to the explosion on the rig last Tuesday night April 26, 2010: Here again more symbolism with the Vatican naming their new telescope "Lucifer" Lucifer refers to a name for the dawn appearance of the planet Venus whch recently crossed the Pleiades and Hyades. More importantly with Jupiter-Uranus (the awakener) in religious Pisces opposing Saturn the Vatican connection is strong. Is Vatican Observatory Trying to Tell Us Something? - "LUCIFER" I just received a notice from the University of Arizona announcing the unveiling of a new telescope named "LUCIFER." There has been a long lasting speculation as to 'why' the Vatican would have its own stellar observatory. Some believe it is for the purpose to monitor a warning presented in the Bible. It is named "Wormwood" coming from the New Testament book of Revelation: "And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter." (Revelation 8:10, 11 - King James Bible). After more than a decade of design, manufacturing and testing, the new Large Binocular Telescope - dubbed LUCIFER 1 - provides a powerful tool to gain spectacular insights into the universe - from the Milky Way to extremely distant galaxies. LUCIFER, built by a consortium of German institutes, will be followed by an identical twin instrument that will be delivered to the telescope in early 2011.

CNN- Experts Say Aliens Real April 26, 2010: Simple astrology tells us that Jupiter-Uranus in Neptune ruled Pisces in an opposition to Saturn means manipulated trading markets using computerized techniques (Uranus). Saturn is the ruler of Pluto now in darker, controlling Capricorn signfying “rigged market capitalism” Computerized Front Running and Financial Fraud While the SEC is busy investigating Goldman Sachs, it might want to look into another Goldman-dominated fraud: computerized front running using high-frequency trading programs. What are high-frequency trading, flash trades, and dark pools? Market commentators are fond of talking about “free market capitalism,” but according to Wall Street commentator Max Keiser, it is no more. It has morphed into what his TV co-host Stacy Herbert calls “rigged market capitalism”: all markets today are subject to manipulation for private gain. Keiser isn’t just speculating about this. He claims to have invented one of the most widely used programs for doing the rigging. Not that that’s what he meant to invent. His patented program was designed to take the manipulation out of markets. It would do this by matching buyers with sellers automatically, eliminating “front running” – brokers buying or selling ahead of large orders coming in from their clients. The computer program was intended to remove the conflict of interest that exists when brokers who match buyers with sellers are also selling from their own accounts. But the program fell into the wrong hands and became the prototype for automated trading programs that actually facilitate front running.

Considering that both planets are in opposition to Saturn-Virgo (structure) this could get worst. Oil Rig, Deepwater Horizon, Leaking Into Gulf Of Mexico NEW ORLEANS — The Coast Guard discovered Saturday that oil is leaking from the damaged well that fed a massive rig that exploded this week off Louisiana's coast, while bad weather halted efforts to clean up the mess that threatens the area's fragile marine ecosystem. For days, the Coast Guard has said no oil appeared to be escaping from the well head on the ocean floor. Rear Adm. Mary Landry said the leak was a new discovery but could have begun when the rig sank on Thursday, two days after the initial explosion. "We thought what we were dealing with as of yesterday was a surface residual (oil) from the mobile offshore drilling unit," Landry said. "In addition to that is oil emanating from the well. It is a big change from yesterday ... This is a very serious spill, absolutely."

Chanting "Yes we can," waving American flags and holding signs reading "We have rights" and "We are human," demonstrators kept up a festive spirit as they denounced the bill signed Friday by Gov. Jan Brewer. The new law requires police to determine whether a person is in the United States legally. It also requires immigrants to carry their alien registration documents at all times and requires police to question people if there is reason to suspect they're in the United States illegally.

There are reports of massive, widespread damage. The tornado was first spotted around 11.35 a.m. CDT near Valley Park, an unincorporated community in Issaquena County. As of 12.30 p.m. CDT, the tornado was located near Midway, moving northeast at 50 mph. "National Weather Service meteorologists and storm spotters were tracking a large and extremely dangerous wedge tornado," the agency said. "Significant damage has occurred in Yazoo City all along this long track tornado!" It said the tornado is expected to be near Tolarville by 12.35 p.m. CDT, near Ebenezer, Brozville and Pickens by 12.40 p.m. CDT, near Franklin and Lexington by 12.45 p.m. CDT, near Goodman by 12.50 p.m. CDT and near Durant, McMillan and Bowling Green by 12.55 p.m. CDT.
