The article posted below is by one of my favorite Canadian journalists, Naomi Kline. It was printed in the July 30th Guardian, one of the few mainstream newspapers that appears to be free of US domination, I think being based in the UK might help.
Naomi's position is that there isn't that much difference between Bush and Kerry when it comes to their beliefs and policies, but that Kerry has the advantage of being so boring that it might give the progressive left the opportunity to return to evolving their position and getting back to the issues rather than being distracted by the personalities.

7th Aug -- Unity Wind
One / Unity
-----------
The beginning of all things. The first. The whole. The all of one. Assertive and self guided, these persons give a good push to whatever project they are associated. One persons work best when meeting a challenge. Do not expect One persons to be attentive to details or put the finishing touches on things.
Wind
----
Breath of spirit, breath of life. Winds embody the power of dissemination and planting of good seed or ideas. Dreamers and planners with powerful imaginations. Wind persons make great orators and spread the word of spiritual inspiration as if carried by the wind. Wind is the power behind the movement of natural cycles such as weather, erosion and cultural change. As the wind, these persons are extremely changeable and adaptable. They may appear inconsistent or fickle to others. Wind can be destructive to self and others by putting on airs. When Winds strut and boast, expanding on facts and accomplishments, they are building the dark clouds of trouble that may become hurricanes.

6th Aug -- Ascension Crocodile
Thirteen / Ascension
--------------------
Going from one step to the next higher step. The energy of Thirteen propels the effort to try something new or to try again. Persons with the energy of Thirteen are always going over the next montain just to see what is there. Thirteen carries the last success to the newest effort.
Crocodile
---------
Crocodile receives messages of primal creative force. Simply the beginning of all things. Crocodiles who follow their hearts are seen as genius. There is no order to the primal messages so Crocodile persons should direct their energies toward practical and cooperative efforts to bring productive results. Crocodiles have a strong nurturing energy and will work hard to provide security to family and friends. Being extremely territorial, Crocodiles must watch not to be over protective or too dominating. While in these states, Crocodiles are insecure, indecisive and emotionally volatile.
A good day to: Open to new beginnings.

Third Night News is the latest edition of Ian's newsletter (the Mayan Majix guy) which came out a couple of days ago, and is the source of the following quote which I remember from his lecture.
"In the tapes, and in the live lectures I have given, I have discussed Mind, explaining that this creature is not really the faithful, supportive friend that it tries to make you believe it is. Mind is a self-survival mechanism that would rather be right even if it means you must die. The only cause of suicide is someone’s Mind coming up with more reasons to die (cover up bad decisions) than to let him or her live—and be a continual reminder that the Mind was wrong or not in control?"
Which makes me think who/what is the "mind" that is running this planet? Right now it appears to be the Bush cabal with the backing of the banks. This depresses me because they would rather we were all dead than acknowledge that those with the most money, have the power, have the right to make the decisions for us all. There is a big battle for control, which reminds me of the movie Instinct a movie staring Anthony Hopkins. Great movie, and the plot summary from the linked site is below.
"Nearly two years after having gone amiss in Africa, renowned anthropologist Dr. Ethan Powell is caught attacking a group of gorilla-poachers. He is imprisoned in a Florida mental institution, where aspiring psychologist Dr. Theo Calder takes over his important case. Dr. Powell, who has been with a group of gorillas during all that time, is not talking at all and seems to be living in a dreamworld. Very slowly, Dr. Calder manages to reach Ethan Powell and starts finding out why Ethan killed two of the poachers. Yet Theo's case is not just about why the murders have happened, but also about how Dr. Powell became the being he is in the first place. With Ethan's silence broken, Theo is introduced into a world beyond common human comprehension: The true nature of being. He learns that mankind's control of everything is a mere illusion and that the true values of existence can't be found so easily. Ethan changes Theo's view of things forever."
My opinion is that when truth is acknowledged then it is acted upon in such a way that we are no longer ashamed and feel a need to keep it covered up. I think the majority of people are awake, but they just don't have a reason to get out of bed. This could change very quickly once that critical mass is achieved that gives people hope that they are not alone and that they won't be sacrificed for the comfort of the others. Then again, I could be just a disillusioned optimist. More >

4th Aug -- Resolution Storm
Eleven / Resolution
-----------------
Every new creation has to find its space in the universe. In the process of "fitting in", some modifications must occur. These changes are the energy of Eleven. Eleven is the energy of dynamic actions facilitating change, simplification and improvement. To those born with this energy, some persons are put off by too much change. Maybe you've noticed?
Storm
-----
Day of the blessings of rain, giver of all life and lightning, a gift of nitrogen to Mother Earth and ozone to Father Sky. Also associated with the moon and the cycles of the moon which are the meter of the feminine aspect of creation. The essense of Storm is the feeling of unity, security and warmth experienced in the home while a tempest of trouble rages in the world outside. Perpetually youthful, Storms exist to experience the ecstasy of freedom. They have a great capability to both learn and teach. Their constant quest for novel experiences often leads to difficult tests and storms of emotion. Looking at these difficulties for the lessons they indeed are, will enrich their lives rather than destroy.
A good day to: Count your lessons as blessings and your enemies as angels. More >
