Uranus Retrograde and Central Plains Weather

Severe thunderstorms, capable of producing large hail and damaging winds, are traversing the northern Plains and parts of the Midwest in fulfillment of The Weather Alternative's long-range forecast for June 25-29, 2008. The forecast called for a strong cold front to push southward over the northern Plains lowering temperatures and triggering precipitation and windy conditions. The forecast was based on Uranus' retrograde station, and was posted on May 12, 2008.



Accuweather reports the following today:



Severe Storms Rock Flood Zones Heavy thunderstorms will blast the Upper Midwest and central Plains today...


The Severe Weather Center warns a cold front diving down from Canada's Prairie Provinces today will ignite an outbreak of severe weather across the Upper Midwest and central Plains. The thunderstorms will erupt as incoming cooler air slices into the warm, moist air flowing north from the Gulf of Mexico. The presence of a strong jet stream will add to the instability in the atmosphere...




The strongest thunderstorms will be capable of producing damaging winds, pounding hail, frequent lightning and drenching downpours. The greatest threat for tornado development will be over the central Plains.

The long-range forecast also called for the possibility of a low pressure system to affect Brownsville and southern Texas. No low pressure system has been reported over the area as of yet. The map at right from Mexico's National Weather Service for yesterday, June 26th, shows the Brownsville area subjected to high wind warnings (zona de viento fuerte).

Kidnapped by government
ByVox Day, WorldNetDaily

Not since the Waco massacre have I been so completely appalled by an American government action. The recent kidnapping of more than 400 children from their parents by Texas Child Protective Service agents is an unconscionable renunciation of not only the U.S. and Texas constitutions, but a rejection of the very meaning of what it is to be an American.

Angie Voss, the CPS kidnapper in chief, stated that five of the 416 FLDS children were pregnant or had given birth; assuming that half of the 416 are female, that is a pregnancy rate of 24 per 1,000. The Texas pregnancy rate among women 15 to 19 is 101 per 1,000.

It’s also worth noting that the "numerous" pregnant 13-year-olds hypothesized by one government worker mysteriously transformed into five "under 18s" when Voss testified in court.

If the family lives of hundreds of American citizens living peacefully can be brutally invaded and destroyed on the basis of a single anonymous phone call that increasingly looks to have been a fraud, then every American family is at risk.

As history has shown, the next time it may not be some heretical Mormons in the government’s gun sights, but Jews, homeschoolers or evangelical Christians.

Mars Opposition Neptune and the Pacific Northwest

The Weather Alternative posted a long-range forecast last April 20th calling for an increase in moisture and storm emergencies over the Pacific Northwest between June 20-23. The opposition between Mars and Neptune was the astrological factor behind the forecast.

An anonymous writer posted the following comment on this blog: Nice call regarding June 20 - 23. We had moisture without rain but lightning and thunder in the sierras starting numerous fires... and Ely Nevada a shower and thunder and lightning as well. Humidity levels were up.

The National Weather Service summed it up as follows:

THERE IS A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS ALL OF CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST OREGON AND SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST WASHINGTON THROUGH THIS EVENING. THE AIR MASS IS BECOME INCREASINGLY MOIST AND UNSTABLE...THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A PACIFIC FRONT WILL ENCOUNTER THE MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS AND TRIGGER ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS AS IT MOVES EAST OF THE CASCADES. THE BIGGEST THREAT FROM THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE STRONG WINDS...PARTICULARLY IN THE JOHN DAY VICINITY, THE BLUE MOUNTAINS AND THE BLUE MOUNTAIN FOOTHILLS, THE GRANDE RONDE VALLEY, AND WALLOWA COUNTY. IN THESE AREAS...THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS OF 60 MPH OR GREATER.

Storm emergencies weren't too severe--just enough to warn of strong winds.

Some Thoughts About the Yearning For Zion Ranch Incident


Is the secular state really better at determining what’s best for the children of the YFZ Ranch than are the parents of those children?

According to the experts, 62 percent of girls are sexually abused by the age of 18—outside the YFZ Ranch.

According to the experts, 31 percent of boys are sexually abused by the age of 18—outside the YFZ Ranch.

According to the experts, most rape victims are under 12 years old—outside the YFZ Ranch.

I want to see children raised in polygamist groups? No.

But neither do I want to see children abused at the hands of the state—which, I hate to say, happens every single day throughout America. It happens in government-run schools.

Summer 2008: The Eastern United States

The planetary positions at the time of the Vernal Equinox are some of the main factors to be considered in assessing summer weather conditions over a given area. The following long-range forecasts are based solely on planetary movement as seen through this chart. In this installment, we look at weather conditions and possible hurricane landfalls over the Eastern United States. Hopefully, in the future, more information will be added by consulting with other important charts such as solar and lunar eclipses, new and full moon charts, etc.



July 1-3
Venus opposes transit Jupiter on the 2nd. The Moon conjoins and opposes them as well. These square the Midheaven through New England bringing a warm and moist air mass that will result in precipitation.

July 5-8
Mercury descends along the entire East Coast and squares transit Uranus on the 5th. Venus trines Uranus on the 6th, and the Moon conjoins Uranus on the 8th.
A cold air mass descends over the Plains out of Canada setting off storms. A cold front along the East Coast brings storms from Florida to New England.





July 9-11
The Sun's opposition to Jupiter and Mercury's opposition to Pluto at the time of the First Quarter Moon show the potential for a low pressure system or front to develop off the U.S. East Coast around the latitude of North Carolina and bring severe weather to the New England area.



July 18-20
Mercury’s opposition Jupiter on the 19th and its contra parallel to Jupiter on the 21st will bring stormy conditions throughout the Northeast U.S.






Aug 23-25
Mars is now transiting across the East Central area at 86 west longitude. On the 26th, Mercury is contra parallel Mars. Heat increases and may result in storms and windy conditions.

Aug 27-29
Mercury and Venus square Pluto on the 27th and 29th respectively. Venus is also contra parallel Mars, which now occupies the Midheaven at 83 west longitude on the 28th. Although Pluto has been busted down from its status as a planet, it still exerts its full power on the weather. In the Ingress chart, Pluto runs along the East Coast, which should feel the strength of its storm-producing capabilities, while Mercury and Venus affect the East Central area with thunderstorms.

Aug 30-Sept 2
At this time Mercury parallels Mars and Uranus. Stormy weather and damaging winds will result as air masses clash over the East Central U.S.

Sept 6-9
This is a very active period for the East Coast. Strong storms and high wind velocities are indicated for the mid-Atlantic area as Mercury, Venus, and Mars transit the area. Mars will parallel Uranus--a high wind breeder, and square Jupiter. Mercury also squares Jupiter and conjoins Mars--another wind maker. Lastly, Venus squares Jupiter and parallels Uranus. Tropical storm or hurricane landfall is possible over the Carolinas. If not a tropical system, powerful storms lash the mid-Atlantic and push eastward.

Sept 10-14
Venus conjoins Mars on the 11th increasing temperatures that may lead to storms. By the 14th, Mercury conjoins Venus, another aspect that increases temperatures and may trigger thunderstorms.

Sept 14-18
The conjunction of Mercury and Venus over the New England area keep the astro-meteorological window open for tropical storm/hurricane activity to affect the region or for severe thunderstorms to afflict the area.

Al Capone

Capone was allowed to serve out the rest of his sentence in the newly-opened Federal Correctional Institution at Terminal Island, Los Angeles, partially paralysed. Here one Sunday at the Sunday service, the prisoners were asked by the preacher, "Do any of you feel the need of prayer?" Amongst the first to raise his hand was Capone. To the next question, "Are any of you here feeling the need of a Saviour? Is so, stand up before your fellows and confess the fact." Capone stood up. -- John Kobler
