Impactful Astrology Books

List three books that have had an impact on you. Why?

Lay people tend to mock astrology. Astrology was in centuries prior cast out of academia and today most normies think it is pseudo-science. But there are those scholars that are not afraid to go against the mainstream thought. If you want some interesting books on astrology, I am currently reading….

Dr. Michel Gauquelin’s Cosmic Influences on Human Behavior

Gauquelin applies science to explain the phenomena of astrology. I am early into the book and already his discussion of planets emenatung radio signals has stayed in my head.

Earlier, an impactful book that I read on astrology was…

Richard Tarnas’ Cosmos and Psyche

Tarnas explains how cycles of outer planets, that is the gas giants beyond the Asteroid Belt and Pluto, coincide with historical events. How some events seem to be repeating themselves or following each other in congruence with the aspects of the planets.

And lastly, a book on the astrological great ages. You might have heard this is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.♒️

Dorks Flood BlackRock’s Ethereum Wallet With Shite

LMAO 😂

I have discovered a new love for crypto but I am a novice crypto hodler. Let me get this straight, so these meme coins and NFTs exist on Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum blockchain is no hidden and transactions can be traced, that kinda sucks. An Ethereum wallet can contain this garbage as long as it is on the Ethereum blockchain. This is a new one for me, fair enough. But I see USDC as well, explain this to me. How did they get the receiving addresses?

Harry Potter?

Why send even shitcoins to the largest investment fund in Murica and perhaps the whole world? You paid for this shit…

Taiwan Elections

What I like about the elections is that they take place on a single day. In the Czech Republic they take two days, and now they also wanna do mail in ballots. Elections should last one day, and no mail in ballots should be allowed. You should be able to vote with your ID at a polling station, that’s it.

Schwarzenberg

Karl VII of Schwarzenberg is dead. At his funeral he defined his ass as the Duke of Krumlov, Landgrave of Klettgau, and Count of Sulz. While the two latter titles refer to lands in Germany and Switzerland, the first refers to territory here in the Czech Republic. And from what I can gather using noble titles is forbidden, even in private. But I guess the current Czech authorities do not have anxieties about the return of monarchy like the interwar Czechoslovakia, when these anti-nobility laws were enacted, so nobody cares…

Karl was a globalist shill, he attended the Maidan in Kiev in 2013, and was a member of the Green Party here in the Czech Republic. He supported Black Lives Matter but not so much Me Too because he loved the ladies. He said that he does not want flowers at his funeral and they ought to send the money to Ukraine instead.

He did have flowers at his funeral. And they fucked up the tricolor.

“For Putin, Crimea is the appetizer, Georgia will be the soup, and Ukraine will be the main course.”

Have you seen Russia have any interest in Georgia? Russia has only recognized break away republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in 2008 after Georgia attacked the Russian peace keepers. Otherwise, Georgia is of little interest to Russia unless they threaten Russian security. And the same can be said about most of Ukraine.

Serbia Against Violence

According to the above map, Serbia Against Violence is only really popular in the capital Belgrade. I would say the core is formed by beneficiaries of Western NGO funds. The problem with Vučič is that he is too friendly to Russia. Although…

Vučič is OK with Ursula too…

“Normal country” means globohomo protectorate. They also want Russia to become a “normal country”.

Serbia against violence…

Starving Taiwan Out

So, I found an interesting thread on X…

I would not say I know much about China-Taiwan relations but I know the case of Ukraine very well. I think it was in 2015 that I listened to either Putin or Sergei Glazev saying, in reaction to Victoria Nuland’s 5 billion for the democratization of Ukraine quote, that the Russians pumped into Ukraine 200 billion green papers over the years. And he added that they did not target the right things.

While Russia was pumping billions into industry and trade, the Americans were sponsoring activists, journalists and other opinion makers. In the end Russia is forced to fight a bloody war. Now, this soft power has its limits. While the regimes such as the one in Taiwan or Ukraine welcome American NGOs, they are hostile to any such efforts coming from Russia, or China for that matter. Russia tried this economic punishment with Georgian wine, or Borjomi water, and it did not make the Georgian elite more pro Russian.

Obviously, giving trade privileges to regimes that spread propaganda against you is stupid but I believe the key is in buying influence. Wealthy Taiwanese that do business in the mainland might also sponsor the media or NGOs, as they normally do. I believe that the targeting of business should be contingent on cooperation. Simply put, you will not do business in China unless you are pro-Chinese.

Somehow in the Russia-Ukraine case, this was never really implemented. Or rather, the separatist governments in East Ukraine did expropriate possessions of Ukrainian oligarchs but the latter were able to do business in Russia proper even though their TV channels spread vile Russophobia.

Javier Milei

WTF?

This is Karlin’s post…

So, Argentina has elected a new president. He ran on a right wing libertarian platform. He loves Israel, wants to convert to Judaism. He also loves Ukraine, he is a shill for Washington, and will not join the BRICS on 1 January 2024. He will make Israel great again, I am totally certain of this.

That said, he has an interesting right wing economic program that I kinda like. Especially his thinning of the government, where he wants to abolish several ministries. I actually felt bad because I myself am technically an employee of the Ministry of Culture, and I am glad the object I work in belongs to the state and not to some private owner or even the municipality. They would turn it into a Disneyland. But then again, this country has much longer history and richer heritage than Argentina.

Clearly there is no need for a Women’s ministry anywhere in the World. But as I grow older, I do not think statism is all that bad. All the private sector cares about is short term gain. Some projects and industries take long to develop and cost money. I also do not think the ascendancy of a figure like Milei is possible outside basket case economies like Argentina with 140% inflation. This is some Weimar level bullshit.
