You mention the Christ Brennan Astrology Podcast. Did you mean Chris Brennan? I assume calling him Christ was an attempt at sarcasm. And I get it. I used to listen to his monthly forecast until last autumn he and his forecasting partner neglected to mention anything about the government shutdown which I thought was an important event. It had been going on for more than a month at the time. So I left a message in the comments on youtube. After two days there was no reply so I wrote him at his email. I received an email back where he took me to task for emailing him over such a triviality! He told me to put it in the comments. I wrote back that I did do so and there was no reply. He wrote that they don't have time to address everything. Huh? A government shut down and you don't have time to address this issue in your program? Keep in mind that I had never communicated with him before, though I had listened to many of his instructional podcasts. He chewed me out for emailing him. He doesn't even know me and for all he knows I could have been a new listener or potential client. This is how he treats someone who might also be new to astrology. Well, Christ lost me as a follower. Nor do I continue to listen to his instructional podcasts. I have watched many videos he has put up and I have never seen the guy laugh and he rarely smiles. He has a fierce look on his face that makes me uncomfortable and I have seldom heard him put any levity into his podcasts. I haven't read his book which he touts continually and from what i gather he is somewhat of an authority on Hellenistic Astrology. Yet while many of his podcasts on astrology are informative they are lacking in the personableness and levity I find in your programs. So I can certainly understand your remark if you were being somewhat sarcastic.
ps I knew him long before he was an astrologer. I met him as a guy looking for a room in Paris. Also, the source on Hellenistic which means Greek is Robert Schmidt (Christ is a third generation carbon copy of Bob's work). Go right to the source please; Bob with his wife, my good friend Ellen Black Coffee, had a streak of genius to them (and were cofounders of Project Hindsight which started the whole traditional business in 1993). Also for a great discussion look up my interview with Schmidt on the origins of the Thema Mundi. It should come up without much work. I will cover this chart soon in a video.
Thanks, Eric. Btw I enjoyed your program on how to do a chart as a newspaper columnist does it. I try to mark up my own blank chart, then look up what Sally Brompton has to say and see how what she says is reflected in the chart much as you did with your mentor's column.
Excellent rap about 9/11 and how 25 years later many (probably most) people just don't get the how they were and still are being blatantly lied to about how the THREE WTC hi-rises came down allegedly due to TWO plane impacts rather than via controlled demolition. They're satisfied with something which seems to make enough sense, as long as it's packaged as coming from "experts."
But here is an item which shows just how much Israel is controlling the US when it comes to Iran. NOT!
US sends dozens of refueling planes to Israel ahead of possible escalation with Iran. Ten tankers will arrive Friday and Saturday and be stationed at air force bases rather than Ben Gurion after concerns over severe airport congestion. Yossi Yehoshua, 7/17/26.
"As Ynet reported earlier this week, officials from U.S. Central Command protested after Transportation Minister Miri Regev moved to limit the number of American tankers stationed at Ben Gurion Airport. CENTCOM officials told senior Israeli defense officials that the restriction could undermine the operational flexibility of U.S. forces in the region. The IDF supported the American position, describing the refueling aircraft as a strategic asset of critical operational importance. A compromise was ultimately reached under which the additional aircraft would be stationed elsewhere. Regev said this week that they would be based at Israeli Air Force facilities."
This operation is NOT about Iran. It is about the US state/business entity moving to preempt the China entity's efforts to gain a foothold in a key global strategic location, both because of its being a global transportation choke point as well as its importance regarding China's source of imported oil.
I am trying to understand the Israel-China connection, and understand it in the context of what is happening now — well enough explain it convincingly. Otherwise I'm just going to be stuck in my present level of understanding and analysis.
Not Israel-China, but Iran-China. The Belt and Road Initiative is China's blueprint for creating an infrastructure via which the China state/business entity dominates Eurasia/Africa and then the world. And Iran is a vital piece of Belt and Road. China did not invest $450 Billion in Iran out of some benevolence. And the Persian Gulf is where China draws the bulk of its oil and LNG supply from. Control of the Strait of Hormuz and of the Bab El Mandeb Strait would go a long way toward achieving global supremacy by controlling Asia's energy supplies and the world's pipeline of products from Asia. This is why WW1 and WW2 both involved Southwest Asia to a major extent.
EDIT to add: i'd be happy to discuss or post here about the aspects of WW1 and WW2 in the region.

can you say that another way please?
Say what? The part about 9/11, or the second part? Not sure if there's a problem with either.
