Joseph McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957) When I asked myself the question, “Who does Alex Jones remind you of?” I immediately thought of Joseph McCarthy. Not because of his loud voice, or his dramatic performances, but because … Continue reading →

This is the Man who Brought Nixon Down

Posted on June 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

John W Dean III (October 14, 1938) I remember the Watergate hearings from 1973. They weren’t on all the Canadian TV channels, like they were in the United States, but the evening newscasts picked up the interesting details and sound … Continue reading →

He Wasn’t Called “Tricky Dicky” for Nothing

Posted on June 13, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Richard M Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) I have a rather jaundiced view of this time period in American history. I was still young enough to be an idealist, and I had a decidedly (small ‘l’) liberal … Continue reading →

Regrets, He Had a Few…

Posted on June 12, 2022 by cdsmiller17

David Cassidy (April 15, 1950 – November 21, 2017) When a person is contemporary to one’s self, there is a certain amount of feeling, “So, what’s the big deal? Just because your father was a big star, doesn’t mean you … Continue reading →

Question: What Does Fascism Look Like?

Posted on June 11, 2022 by cdsmiller17

January 6, 2021 (and Thereafter) I’m not being facetious here. The Storming of the Capitol Building looked like Kristallnacht, but in the daytime. And, interestingly enough, the (new) American Government reacted in a knee-jerk fashion, by erecting fences in Washington, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 11, 2022 by cdsmiller17

The Man For All Seasons

Posted on June 10, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Charlton Heston (October 4, 1923 – April 5, 2008) I’ve written about Charlton Heston before, but didn’t go into his birth chart. I wonder why? Again, this time of birth is considered ‘excellent’. That Part of Fortune/Neptune conjunction (@ 19° … Continue reading →

So, What About the Man “Behind the Staircase”?

Posted on May 31, 2022 by cdsmiller17

Michael Peterson (October 23, 1943) We are so quick to judge others, especially if they are ‘different’ from us. Michael Peterson was convicted of murdering his wife in 2003, although he maintains his innocence, to this very day. This chart … Continue reading →
