CIA torture report: US raises security ahead of release



Security has been stepped up at US facilities around the world ahead of the release of a report expected to reveal details of harsh CIA interrogations, the White House says. Embassies and other sites were taking precautions amid "some indications" of "greater risk", a spokesman said. A 480-page summary of the Senate report is due to be released on Tuesday. It is expected to detail the CIA's campaign against al-Qaeda in the aftermath of 9/11. As well as detailing the controversial methods used by CIA operatives in an effort to extract information from high-value suspects, the report is expected to say harsh interrogations failed to deliver appropriate results.

Capricorn Ingress charts of the Sun have a special position in mundane astrology. They are considered “master charts” for the year. Shown here is the current Capricorn Ingress for Washington,DC. Note the prominence of the chart with the Sun at the MC as part of a Grand Cross. Astrologers have noted that the Mars-Pluto element is linked with torture [1].

Conjunct the Sun are the asteroids Hidalgo and Toro.

HIDALGO: Standing on principle & saying what's on your mind (but challenging aspects can = secrecy & expedient disclosure)

TORO: Machismo; bullying; intimidation (torture?)

Hidalgo/Uranus
You can expect "tensions to mount" because there are things that aren't  being said--that people are keeping to themselves.  There may well be  times when a certain amount of restraint feels necessary (in order to  prevent blow-ups or unwelcome changes and reactions,) but folks can  "keep quiet" about how they have broken rules and roles.

On the IC we have the  TNPs Kronos-Hades with the asteroid TD10. Juan Revillo has done extensive work on the asteroid TD10 [2]. It would appear from his work that TD10 is linked to omnipotent authoritarianism that violates and destroys an individual.

Hades/Kronos: to learn of secret activities of governments; to see governments and authorities have indulged in dirty business, these actions cause embarrassment or are experienced as degrading.

The TNPs Hades and Kronos are conjunct the star Tejat, of Gemini about which Nick Fiorenza writes:

Tejat will make visible that which has been suppressed, oppressed, hidden in the closet, but that needs to be seen. This can indicate the need to emerge from our own mental obscurations and illusions that keep us from actions we need to take. As Tejat brings to visibility that which has been suppressed, we may draw experiences that reflect parts of our selves that seem rather dark and opposing to our unfoldment--the fears, hesitancies, and blockages within our selves that keep us from stepping forth into a greater harmony in life. Tejat asks that we be willing to walk through the shadows of self to claim our power and place. The more we express the truth of who we are openly in our relations and in the world the less is there room for forces that suppress that truth.







So why now? Progressing the chart to December 8, the date of the news, aligns the Grand Cross once again with the angles triggering the dilemma for the US government which has tried hard to keep the torture by the CIA under wraps.
