The Montauk Monsters or "Why We Do What We Do"

Mars is squaring my Moon right now so I'm coughing up emotional hairballs. Here's a topic that's so gicky I've decided not to write about it but I've done a little research on dates for anyone with a hankering for the disgusting stuff.

On May 5 another Montauk Monster washed up on the beach in New York. A previous one washed up last Summer in July. These things look like Mad Scientist creations put together with one appendage from everything you can find in a barnyard. The one in July had a very unhappy expression on its face. Maybe it was just decaying weird, but I swear to God it had a huge beak on a pig's body and I think it had some fins and a tail and I hate to think what it's gender would be.

So, there are all kinds of conspiracy theories about what these things are. Is a Conspiracy Theory a Conspiracy Theory when even the most conservative people you talk to agree that the Conspiracy Theory is probably true? The Government has a laboratory on Plum Island which is I guess is in Massachusetts or Long Island or on its own little float. This place, called the Plum Island Laboratory, was set up in the 1950s by the USDA and an ex-Nazi Veterinarian, Dr. Erich Traub, who was into hoof and mouth disease in cows (and hopefully not Jews). Who knows? Maybe this is where Wonder Bread was born. Plum Island was taken over by Homeland Security around 2005. This place experiments on all kinds of animal diseases and has been blamed by some for the outbreaks of Lyme Disease and West Nile Virus and all kinds of Bio-Warfare types of problems.

Plum Island was opened about the same time that Area 51 was starting to be used for research into Spy warfare stuff. That's one reason for the conspiracy. One of the researchers involved with its beginnings was a Nazi veterinarian, Dr. Erich Traub, who specialized in animal disease and was maybe a part of "Project Paperclip", a U.S. program to hire Nazi specialists to "Plum" their brains, I suppose. There are other reasons for the conspiracy theories, such as an ex-employee who called the place "a biological 3-mile island."

There is a book written about Plum Island which has recently been taken over from the USDA by Homeland Security. Written by Michael Christopher Carroll, called Lab 257: The Disturbing Story of the Government's Secret Plum Island Germ Laboratory. I am suffering from all kinds of Contagion Parnoia right now. I stopped following Salmonella Attacks because they were popping up right and left across the country, too many to keep this Gemini Riser's attention. Turns out that the disease has blossomed in the food industry lately. We can't say why. So then there's the Swine Flu. And whatever happened to the TB Man? Was he real? And then there's the legion of nurses who volunteered to help the Octo Mom but who had TB. I don't think we need Conspiracy Theories. People are just idiots.

Lyme Disease goes back to a town in Connecticutt with that name. It was a disease known in Europe and was recognized in its current state in 1975.

West Nile Virus, spread by Mosquitoes showed up in New York City in 1999.

Plum Island opening Dedication Day Sept. 26, 1956 11:00 am Plum Island Mass. Sun 4 Libra; Moon 23 Gemini; ASC 24 Scorpio; MC 8 Virgo; NN 2 Sagittarius

• Both Mercury and Mars are Retrograde in this chart. Mercury is 4 Libra Rx conjunct the Sun to the Degree. Came out of Rx by Secondary Progression 1965 at 28 Virgo;

• Mars at 15 Pisces Rx; stationed direct 1970 in 1965.

• Saturn is conjunct NN in House 1 over Scorpio/Sagittarius cusp and is squared by Pluto and Venus in Leo (H9). The Progressed Sun-SA Mercury are now in conjunction with Scorpio ASC and Saturn-NN.
  
• The SA MC has just moved into Scorpio. Scorpio rules Research, Surgeries, Toxins. Also rules Conspiracy theories. Probably also rules Monsters. If this information is correct I suppose it figure that the Monsters would start floating up on shore outside the research facility at this time, especially if this is happening as a revenge or undercover.

Dr. Erich Traub b. June 27, 1906, Asperglen, Germany Sun 5 Cancer; Moon Leo or Virgo; NN 14 Leo

• Sun is conjunct Neptune and Mars in Cancer.

• Venus is opposing Chiron and the opposition is layered over the Nodal Axis. Hope he didn't have sex with the animals. Venus is a singleton in Fire and Fixed Signs.

• Jupiter 23 Gemini conjunct Pluto 23 Gemini. The conjunction is conjunct to the degree and unaspected. How's that for communicable disease research in large animal husbandry? Only a Jupiter-Pluto person could write "Nazi" on his resume and still get a job post-WWII.
