Spam Drops 40 Percent After Company "Turned Off"

This might be a positive result of the Saturn-Uranus opposition. Two Companies have been shut down which were found to be responsible for sending huge amounts of Spam emails over the Internet. After one of these companies, McColo Corporation, was shut down last week the amount of Spam emails sent through the Internet dropped about 40 percent. Security investigators and some totally awesome reporter from The Washington Post have been said to have been investigating the companies for about 4 months.

According to most articles McColo was shut down by its service providers on Nov. 12. It was based in San Jose, CA. This was right before the Full Moon. Early in the day the Moon was opposing Mercury and squaring the North Node in Aquarius. Mercury in Scorpio (Investigative Journalism) challenges NN in Aquarius (Internet, Technology) during a Saturn-Uranus opposition (Infrastructure). At any rate, that sure does seem connected with some sort of Monkey business in the Technology world. The Saturn-Uranus opposition is just one degree separated and Jupiter was sextiling Uranus to the degree at 19 Capricorn. Jupiter is a stand out energy as a singleton in Cardinal here. During this whole time Venus was conjunct Pluto to the degree on the last degree of Sagittarius.

Another article says that McColo "disappeared" at around 9am (ET) on Nov. 10 (that's Eastern Time, not San Jose time). Article here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10095730-83.html. This puts Mercury in Scorpio right on the Scorpio Ascendant. Pretty interesting time for an investigative news reporter to bring about some change. Especially since Neptune, Chiron and the North Node were squaring Mercury from the IC. Good for dissolving something.

There is some concern that Law Enforcement wasn't involved but since McColo was involved in sending out child porn they were not breaking rules by shutting off the service to the company. Saturn and Uranus will continue to question authority in this way I suppose as Saturn controls and Uranus rebels. Once Pluto moves into Capricorn this mentality might go overboard in places. Interesting how no actual names were mentioned in any article in connection with McColo. The Mercury News says that the company may be a front for cyber criminals in Eastern Europe.

Hey Jude (bet you hear that a lot),

I don't know what's going on with the links thing. I need to take a class.

Oh, and I think the spam came back up to almost normal within a day or two. I'm not sure about that.
