A 5-Minute Tour of Western Crete mid-May 2012 (video)

Are you familiar with the beauty and charm of the ancient isle of Western Crete? Or perhaps you're an armchair traveler like myself? Well, check out this 5-minute video that some of my more adventurous family members (one with a Mercury = travel/Jupiter = foreign lands conjunction in Aquarius) recorded in mid-May 2012 as they took in the sights...complete with some very appropriate music!

You may also wish to read of the History of Minoan Crete or of King Minos himself.

Why, even the author of The Scarlet Letter and other classics of American literature, Nathaniel Hawthorne, thought to write of Theseus and the (beastly) Minotaur!

Nathaniel Hawthorne: July 4, 1804 Salem, Massachusetts, died May 19, 1864. Hawthorne was born with Sun in creative Moon-ruled Cancer and Moon in quick-witted Gemini, sign of the writer; this is the 'eternal student' combo of energies which gave him excellent teaching abilities. His Water-Air (ethereal, misty) Sun Can-Moon Gem personality blend is shared natally by Henry David Thoreau, Clifford Odets, Lord Mountbatten, Cheryl Ladd, John D.Rockefeller, and Dianne Feinstein. (I know!)

Is May Day but a Protest Day?

~
May Day is also known as International Workers Day and because of global economic meltdown caused by sorry governing and the banking class' greed for power, protests are occurring around the globe for May 1, 2010.

Russia has been seeing some point-blank placards for May Day 2010 such as, Putin is Stalin! among other issues, in part for what they term Putin's 'blind' economic policies.

Why, Vladimir is simply following the protocols of the New World Order which is precisely why today I am siding with workers the globe over and wishing them safety and relief from totalitarian governments the officials of which have allowed themselves to be tempted, suckered, or blackmailed into the one-world-government agenda of the likes of Weishaupt, Palmerston, Mazzini, Pike, and the current-day crop of satan and lucifer worshipers who want total control of you and me - and fomenting chaos is their typical method: break down society in order to build it back as you high-handedly envision.

This May Day, things are very heated and furious in Greece especially over their government's "austerity cuts" (which is what US politicians would call their long-hoped-for "entitlements cuts" here if they thought they could be more honest in public without having Washington stormed like the Bastille.)

Why, even a US Congressman was arrested today at an immigration rally in front of the White House!

Yet be it all as it may, there is a severe thunderstorm about to break here in northeast Georgia yet I cannot resist posting a recent photo taken (as usual) by my photographing daughter, Maya...so if you are located where you have the option, please enjoy a daisy bouquet for May Day 2010, everyone!
