    How the mighty have fallen.

Well, maybe not that unexpectedly...Lewis's exit was announced late on Saturday around 6pm ET, just days after he orchestrated a bloodbath of layoffs that axed a whopping 30% of the staff – over 300 journalists sent packing in what can only be described as a desperation move to staunch the bleeding from years of financial hemorrhaging and dwindling readership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHwqKcukBTg   In the astrological analysis below we will see a parallel between the February 17, 2026, annular solar eclipse (New Moon at 28° Aquarius) and events at The Washington Post, leading to Lewis's abrupt resignation as a "poetic ending" tied to mundane astrology themes.   E...

        French Colonial Africa   France is planning “neocolonial coups” across Africa in an attempt to destabilize governments it deems “undesirable,” particularly in the Sahel, where it has suffered major losses in recent years, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) has alleged.   Paris has lost its foothold in several former colonies amid a wave of anti-French sentiment driven by allegations of aggression, military failures, and interference. Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have all severed ties with France, expelling French troops and accusing the former colonial power of supporting armed groups fueling a deadly jihadist insurgency in the Sahel.
