World 2006: Democracy for a Price

"The heroic fight of thousand of young men and women has played a crucial role in the events that ultimately led to the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and in the former Soviet Union. The fight for Freedom and Democracy became unstoppable after June 1989.”

This is a year for a global humanitarian call where minority and the impoverished rights cry out. There are many heartaches and stories of struggle. How will we soar while poverty still exists? How will privacy be maintained?

www.infoplease.com/2006. May 25, George Bush and Tony Blair express regret for the abuse of prisoners at the Abu Ghraib prison, for removing all Baathists from positions of power in Iraq, and for other missteps.www.wikipedia.org/2006- Mar 9, House releases a report on the response to Hurricane Katrina, assigning blame on all levels of government.July 12 – 2006 Lebanon War: Israeli troops invade Lebanon in response to Hezbollah kidnapping two Israeli soldiers and killing 3. Hezbollah declares open war against Israel 2 days later.

There will be culminating events that fight for human rights that cost. Treaties and laws for world peace will be on the political tables around the globe. They will offer critical turning points in attempt toward freer world. This is a year where the struggles for equalities, democracy and human rights move forward with a price. There will be religious and moral overtones.Critical legislation will go before many governments all over the world.

The United Nations clearly has a calling in 2006. If China cannot show fair and equal trade relations, then trade will be difficult. If we need to build up troops to promote democracy, then there will be a call for the draft. Americans are under duress a good part of 2006. There will be religious and opinionated overtones across the board. The day to day in 2006 (as it has been in 2005) faces inequalities, struggles, depression and heartaches. Our freedom of expression is clearly an issue. Our privacy forever changed.

The people of North Korea suffer, the opportunity for freedom exists. The old outworn structures in North Korea begin to crumble. Their borders are now weak. CNN- Lou Dobbs- November 17, 2005. Bush and South Korean president stand together on North Korean Nukes. North Korea Uncovered- 3 assassinations of underground individuals caught on network video smuggled out of country. Growing dissidents in NK.

Domestically, it has been said that the second term of a sitting president is a curse. America leaves 2005 with a lot of enemies and a weak world image. Financially we are in for hard times. Second term presidents are likely go for the history books. Good Luck. He says he wants to pull troops out of Iraq, partially privatize Social Security, make tax cuts permanent, hold teachers, schools and athletes more accountable, allow illegal immigrants to work in this country, and change tort reform. For the most part, the stars are on his side for creating a freer and more democratic world. Nevertheless, he can expect a reaction.

www.infoplease.com/2006. Mar 9, President Bush signs a law renewing the Patriot Act, including a signing statement stating that he does not consider himself bound by its requirement to tell Congress how the law is being used.

Here are some questions that come to my mind given the astrological data. How will the United Nations get involved in 2006? What kind of humanitarian movements will change the course of history?

www.infoplease.com/2006. June 29, The Supreme Court rules that military tribunals cannot be set up to try prisoners in the absence of Congressional authorization and that prisoners are entitled to fair trials under the Geneva Conventions.

Africa is a continent of growing genocide, famine, disease and death. There is much work to be done and 2006 is a astrological year where many strides can be won for humanity.

When the Soviet Union collapsed, it left many countries to begin to define who and what they were to stand for. Not only does this include the European countries like Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Poland, and The Czech Republic that we hear about, but also places rather foreign to most Americans. Like, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan. As my Ukrainian friend put it, "We were all under the Soviet rule, but we were so different. Ukraine was more open society and places like Uzbekistan were very closed." Two thousand and six will be growth for these countries and their ideology, as well.

What acts within governments will create a freer and more democratic existence?

Will there be more UFO sightings in 2006? How far has NASA come to looking like a UFO? How will al Qaeda hit a financial institution? Will he be caught? Do Americans face another version of the draft? Will their be fair trade with China? Is democracy dissolving walls in China?

What stories will come out on world religion? Will we be looking at a new pope?
www.wikipedia.org/2006. September 2006 was marked by controversalstatements made by Pope Benedict XVI regarding Islam during the anniverary of September 11, 2001

What changes are due for the British monarchy? For that matter, all monarchies are due for change.

An Astrologer's Call on 2006

Here's my call for 2006.To begin with, the areas hit by the tsunami December 26, 2004 continue to indicate great undertakings and continued chaos. The astrological data supports a destabilized region in 2006.

www.wikipedia.com/2006. A coup d'état was carried out by the Royal Thai Army, ousting Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.

The countries that are showing these signs are Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Malaysia. It is likely the ripple of effect from the devastation and loss of life that occurred during and after the tsunami is creating more hardships for the people. There are certain to be more stories coming out of these regions in 2006.

It would hardly be fair not to mention the United Nations, since the years themes so embraces it's purpose. Certainly, the chart of the United Nations is ignited in 2006. The themes and work to be done to promote peace, democracy and human rights around the worlds is a challenge.

The continent of Africa continues to be a troubled continent. There have been several eclipses that have hit the continent Africa over the last decade. In English, the turmoil in this region is reaching cataclysmic proportions. The results of years of civil wars is spreading famine and disease to this part of the world at a rate that cannot control itself. People are dying in inhumane ways. In 2006, a humanitarian cry is likely to step in. This will effect the world's economy.

One of the strongest areas due to be effected by civil rights and a freer world is Sudan, one of the largest countries in Africa. Sudan leaders are forced to take action in 2006. Traditionally, the northern Arab- Islam influence have fought the southern African tribes to the point of ethnic cleansing on both sides. Egypt has tried to step in. The charts indicate that a powerful female leader could make a world of change for this civil war torn country. The United Nations is likely to step in. Astrological data suggests that it would be easy for the nature of Sudan leadership past and even present to hold supplies and money from the people. Nevertheless, a foreign influence is due to step into this war torn region and force change on the leadership in 2006. (Malec, G. 1982.)

www.infoplease.com/sudan/2006. In 2006, the three-year-old conflict in Darfur escalated. In May 2006, a peace deal was signed, but later collapsed. China and Russia,business allies, balked at the UN imposing sanctions on Sudan. The African Union (AU) peacekeepers (7,000) were deployed to Darfur. In September, the UN Security Council voted to replace the AU peacekeepers with 20,000 UN troops, which President al-Bashir categorically refsed, yet agreed to an extension of the small AU force while the killing continued.

Neighboring Chad is another area that is likely to be a focal point for winter 2005 and fall 2006. Chad is one of the poorest nations in Africa. Like Sudan, there Muslims dominate the North and African tribes in the south. In 2004, 100,000 refugees fled fighting in Sudan for Chad only to face hunger. There are so many displaced Africans due to the genocide. Equally, 2006 will mark significant milestones against the oppressed in Chad. (Malec, G. 1982.)

Other African countries that stand out in 2006 for democratic change is Ivory Coast, Uganda, Angola, Niger, Central African Republic, Benin. For example, the Central African Republic is due to have it's first democratic elections in 2006. (wikipedia.com, 2005)

Israel faces more reality checks in 2006. Now, that the Palestinians have a new leader, pressure will be put on them from outside entities to share. They have always been a nation restricted in self expression, this year the walls dividing them from the Arab world is likely to be finished. The walls should say enough. United States and the United Nations are likely to get involved. It is counter to the democratic movements going on in the world in 2006.

Areas with higher than average terrorism for 2006 are Brazil, Ireland, England, Portugal, northwest African coast, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Brazil's leadership is undermined. Oil and natural resources are issues. Peru, Costa Rica, Grenada, Equador, Bolivia are all due for their share of stories. Mexico leader, Vicente Fox, has held a vision for his people for sometime. This vision has included the United States open borders with Mexico at a time when U.S. faces terrorism. Illegal immigrants have a voice in 2006.

North Korea outside pressure to change. Weak and vulnerable borders. Foreign and neighboring goals are penetrating their boundaries. This is not a good time for North Korea. It is quite possible that the Bush administration keeps quiet on their defense and war plans for North Korea until winter months at the end of 2005, beginning of 2006. We have yet to hear the finale on the draft, currently coined HR163. The charts for South Korea are showing more patriotism. These two countries share thousands of years of history until United States and the former Soviet Union divided these two nations during the Korean War.

China’s leadership faces limitation in 2006. Will trade relations between U.S. and China change? Will the memories of the recently deceased democratic sympathizer Zhao Ziyang create a movement of civil unrest for communist leaders?

This is a key year for changes in monarchies and long term rule. Great Britain stands out. Queen Elizabeth and the crown are key words. The religious long term rule of the papacy stands out. Will we be seeing a new world pope?

Finally, it is important to say that 2006 will undoubtedly uncover stories of weakness in structures that we have considered a reality, a fact of life. We are likely to see a year of protests for rights of humanity. Religious overtones and opinions are strong. The movie industry may find that this is a great time to record history. Financial institutions around the world struggle with the drive for a freer world. Heartaches and eyesores continue. Stories of the oppressed emerge. These are inflationary times. There will be positive historical acts from governments. The old walls are dissolving. Of course, it all costs in order to make change. By the end of 2006, we will undoubtedly have answers to the question, “How far have we come in the fight for human rights and democracy around the world?”
