2016: Year of the Red Fire Monkey and the Super Shemitah

For those who are not aware, 2016 has seen a convergence of two major calendrical events: the Chinese Year of the Fire Monkey has occurred in the same year as the Super Shemitah. Many have already dismissed the influences of these two HUGE forces operating in the background. Not only have they done so at their peril, they have lost precious time necessary to get their house in order. And, to get prepared for just about anything in the coming year.

2016: A Year of Super Convergence and Awesome Consequence

The last time the same astrological energies occurred simultaneously, especially while Pluto cruised through Capricorn, the American Declaration of Independence was signed and the American Revolution commenced in earnest in 1776. For those who are initiated into this realm, Donald Trump clearly represents the Fire Monkey energy. And 2016 has seen his coming out party.

The Earth-Shaking Year of the Red Fire Monkey Begins On February 8, 2016

When functioning as a highly evolved Fire Monkey, this indomitable character is virtually unstoppable at whatever he attempts to achieve. Therefore, Donald Trump cannot lose. No matter what stunts the Democratic Party attempts to pull, or legal gambit the DNC tries to make, Trump is curiously in the driver’s seat. Not only can he do no wrong, the Clintonistas can do no right. Remember, Donald Trump cannot lose this year irrespective of what he does or does not do.

So, if Hillary does steal the election, she will spend the next four plus years trying to prevent being evicted from the POTUS high office. Her stars are so misaligned and working at such cross purposes that she cannot even get out of her own way. More importantly, many of her traditional allies will get out of her way as they begin to desert her and her phony causes. They will have witnessed the real Hillary Clinton in such a way that they will not want to be associated with her in any way, shape or form.The longer this period of watching the dust settle takes place, the better it will be for the forces of light and truth. Likewise, the more lengthy the electoral war during the post election process, the more folks will see that Donald Trump is exactly how he presents himself. As someone who really wants to “Make America Great Again”.

There's much, much, more.

Oh great. Now you tell me.

FTC warning:

The FTC issued a warning today about a scam that sounds ridiculous but is nonetheless surprisingly common: Con artists are convincing victims that they’re from the IRS and will accept outstanding payments in the form of iTunes cards.

Vox has more.

The last 15 incoming calls on my phone have been telemarketers.

Some of the highlights of his stage act involved sound effects of cannon fire and thunderstorms, as well as playing "'O Sole Mio" and "La Marseillaise" on an ocarina through a rubber tube in his anus. He could also blow out a candle from several yards away. His audience included Edward, Prince of Wales; King Leopold II of the Belgians; and Sigmund Freud.

The classics.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: You know what the magic word, the only thing that matters in American sexual mores today is? One thing. You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent. If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it's perfectly fine. Whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there's no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.

How morally bereft does one have to be to not understand, or worse - to pretend to not understand - that a lack of consent is what constitutes rape?

26 hours without power. Maxed out our wireless data plan. Very boring. Could be worse. 

It's been raining for 12 hours, calmly.

But the wind has just arrived.

Matthew is here!
