Guess What? Terrorists Believe in Astrology!

"Sometimes the other planets appear to be traveling backward through the zodiac; this is an illusion. We call this illusion retrograde motion. Mercury's retrograde periods can cause our plans to go awry. However, this is an excellent time to reflect on the past. Intuition is high during these periods, and coincidences can be extraordinary. When Mercury is retrograde, remain flexible, allow time for extra travel, and avoid signing contracts. Review projects and plans at these times, but wait until Mercury is direct again to make any final decisions."

Being currently in the thrall of a Mercury Retrograde myself, for some unascertainable reason it occurred to me that if my own life can be affected during these times (albeit I suspect a physics-bound source of the effects), what if the movers and shakers of the world also are mindful of these things? Soooo, I decided to look up a few recent 'big' events over the past few years to see if they went down during a Mercury Retrograde. Here's what I found out:

                 Event                                                      During Mercury Retrograde?

             9/11 'Terror Attacks'                                                 No

             7/7 'Terror Attacks'                                                   Nope

             3/11 'Terror Attacks'                                                 Nein

             Mumbai 'Terror Attacks'                                           Negatory

Now isn't THAT interesting - You know, for a bunch of supposed 'Muslim' terror attacks, they ALL happened to avoid that astrological time period that 'Kufr' or 'unbelievers' would consider perilous. Sounds a bit odd for a bunch of so-called fundamentalists, does it not? Now given the fact that the 'Powers That Be' who run international finance happen to be a VERY superstitious lot, doesn't it make MORE sense that the cover story we've been sold about all of these 'terror' attacks is really a giant, steaming pile of horseshit? Just sayin'...
