Kingston 12/29 Dear Friend and Reader: FOR THE weekend update, here is the January monthly edition of Planet Waves. This is an extended monthly, which gives some forecasting for all of 2008. The extended annual forecast, much greater in depth, will be included with our special edition, Small World Stories. Yesterday we also posted an article called Benazir Bhutto and the Nuclear Axis. This compared the astrology of the assassination of the Pakistani opposition leader with the chart for the first self-sustained nuclear explosion. The verdict: we have to keep an eye on the nuclear fuse. It's a little on the short side these days. This was a Mars retrograde event, so we're going to see more of the story unfold when Mars goes direct at the end of January -- but we are in for a few surprises before that happens, as well. We were apparently the first news outlet to point out that all the facts in the story contradict. How was she killed? Were shots fired? Did she hit her head? It's now big news that nobody really knows. The charts are soaked in Neptune, which means uncertainty. Though it may not seem like much to a non-astrologer, nobody even knows what time she was attacked or left the planet. I dread to inform you that 2007 began with the execution of Saddam Hussein and ended with the murder of Ms. Bhutto. Are you sick of it? If so, I want to hear you scream it out loud. I'M SICK OF ALL THE KILLING AND DEATH. I'M SICK OF ALL THE SUSPICION OF U.S. INVOLVEMENT IN IT. I CAN'T FREAKIN' STAND IT ANY MORE. Try it. You'll like it. Anyway, as messed up as the world is, I'm here to tell you how you can make it a better place. Journalism like the kind you're clicking on in the links above takes work, it costs money to produce, and it most definitely raises awareness in a way that the world needs. Mostly it takes passion. My name is the one signed to most of the articles, but it's a passionate team of artists and writers who make this all happen at Planet Waves. If you like reading this kind of work -- and obviously you do, or you would not be here -- then sign up for a subscription to Planet Waves. Make an investment in us. See how you feel; see what comes back to you. Try it for three months and at the end, ask yourself if it was worth it. If you decide it wasn't, write to me and I'll refund your money. It is more likely that you'll decide it was the right thing to do, money well spent not just on a Webspace that you value, but in truth on ideas that you value. Catch you Monday. Yours & truly,
