Bondi

That’s the Beach, not the Trump official. On 14 December 2025 there was a mass shooting at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Two gunmen opened fire on a Chabad Hanukkah gathering, killing 15 people, with one of the shooters being killed at the scene. Over forty more were wounded as of this writing. It was a terrorist attack and has been widely condemned, as it should be. But there is more to it than that. For more, read on…

Before we start, all terrorist acts should be condemned, as they always target the innocent. May the souls of those fallen at Bondi that day find peace, no matter their affiliation or culture. As well may the fallen innocents of Palestine find peace, because the two peoples are united with a common thread of cause and effect. More and more Jews are coming to know exactly what that means. The two groups cannot, in fact, be separated. We will get a glimpse as to why as we go along here. With that in mind, we begin with the chart for the event.

The shooting took place at 18:47 AEDT at Bondi, Australia. The chart is below (bigger):

This event strongly suggests an attempt to shape or to shift certain narratives, as well as to shock Australian society into taking actions the society would not otherwise undertake. There are three main standouts in the chart:

• • Mars in the 7^th house at the last degree of Sagittarius, square Neptune at the last degree of Pisces in the 11^th house
  • Mars out of bounds and parallel to Pluto
  • A particularly powerful midpoint combination, described below.

The Sun was approaching the conjunction with Mars, adding to the violence of the event. The Sun and Mars in the 7^th house represent the shooters (7^th house=open enemies). The conjunctions of Mars and Neptune to Aries points indicate the intention of the act: to change the world view and shape certain narratives. We might list a few of those here:

• • Islamophobia. The two gunmen were Muslim, a father and son.
  • Anti-immigration sentiments, especially against Muslims.
  • To magnify the growth of anti-Semitism as a means to legislate curbs on freedom of speech.
  • To amplify/renew the sense of Jewish victimhood, a claim for which the Zionists can no longer find support
  • To blame certain groups and nations for the act, for the purpose of ‘justifying’ attacks on those groups or nations once ‘proven’.
  • To deflect attention from Israeli war crimes in Gaza and elsewhere and to boost Israel’s ratings, if that is even possible now.

What do we know about the attack itself? This is a story that is changing daily. At the end of November Candace Owens, one of the current most popular of US podcasters, tweeted that ‘they’ (whomever they are) were signalling there would be a 9/11-style false flag attack in the 2^nd week of December. This attack was hardly of that magnitude, as it turned out, and thankfully so. Whether or not one views Owens as a nut or as a reliable presenter her tweet coincides with something else – Mars OOB. A few words on Mars out-of-bounds (OOB) bears a mention.

Mars OOB reaches its maximum southern declination on the 17^th in the sign of its exaltation, Capricorn. It has been in Sagittarius since the first part of November. It went OOB on the 28^th of November. The OOB phase initiates a period where the actions of Mars are magnified, where actions exhibit as being more unpredictable, unstable, making Martian energy feel wild, independent, and beyond conventional norms. It can manifest as extreme assertiveness, innovation, risk-taking, or impulsiveness. It often signals more violent periods in mundane horoscopes (event charts), especially when it is in supporting signs. Sagittarius is a fire sign and with Mars OOB in that sign it magnifies the more assertive, adventurous and unpredictable aspects of that sign. What have we seen thus far with this OOB period?:

• • Flooding and landslides resulting from Cyclone Ditwah (611 dead, with massive displacement of people) 28 Nov.
  • A mass shooting in South Africa left 11 dead and 16 injured. The motive was unclear. (6 Dec)
  • A nightclub fire in Goa, India left 25 dead (6 Dec)
  • A M7.6 quake in Japan triggered a tsunami and injured 28
  • A GenZ protest in Bulgaria forced the resignation of the PM over the budget (11 Dec)
  • A shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island left 2 dead and 9 critically injured (13 Dec)
  • The Bondi shootings
  • Two Americans and an interpreter were killed in an ISIS ambush in Syria. Trump has promised HUGE retaliation.
  • Trump is escalating against Venezuela, Mexico and Colombia, especially since Mars has gone OOB. He says the land operations will soon begin.
  • A house exploded in California due to a gas leak. One of my uncles lost his house that way.

So, to continue with the event, as of this writing there is a nearly complete video of the shooting (warning for sensitive or underage viewers), showing two men on a footbridge firing weapons into the crowd. They had been named – a father and son – and both of them were/are Muslim. The father was killed at the scene. The father fled the scene but was shot by police and killed. The son was eventually accosted, shot and taken to hospital, where he is under guard, but stable. The son had been under investigation previously for Salafist indoctrination, but until that day had not been deemed a serious threat. The men were Afghani Pakistani Israeli Indian Pakistani at last count (The misinformation about the men changed by the hour). The son was born in Australia, while the father was in Australia on a visit. They were both Australian citizens. Relatives of the men were told by them they were going on a fishing trip to Jervis Bay as their cover story.

Witnesses at the scene said the shooting went on for between 10 and 20 minutes and there were four policemen nearby, who did nothing until the very end. That in itself is suspicious. And who was doing the nearly complete video of the scene? After the two men had been ‘neutralized’, according to police, it was revealed that one of the victims at the gathering was a rabbi, who had acted to campaign for money to be sent to the IOF during the genocide. Chabad is normally a peaceful organization, of the Haredi sect of Judaism, but they support Israel as a place of safety for Jews.

After the shooting, the finger-pointing and blame game was immediate. We all know the saying, “The guilty dog barks first, or loudest.” The Israelis were quick to blame the attack on Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas – virtually everyone in The Resistance. They have worked swiftly and hard to muddy the waters about the shooters. Now, given these two shooters were Salafist, the claims against The Resistance were ridiculous. Salafists are firmly against The Resistance factions because those factions are Shia Muslim. But from here, the story gets a little more interesting.

A quick search on Google trends shows that the younger shooter, the son, had been searched in the US and Israel the day before the attack. That said, one has to be careful and very specific about doing such searches. However, doing the search on the young man’s name under the heading ‘Politics’, there are clear results. There are people with the same name in sport and entertainment. The father and son had travelled to the Philippines on Indian passports a month before the shootings. They went there to receive military style training. One video of one of the shooters clearly shows such training (again, viewer discretion).

Since the murder of Charlie Kirk in the US, people have been made aware of the value of using Google trends searches around such events. The search on the father yielded no results. But the young man had been investigated for his Salafist leanings. Australian police had uncovered a ‘fabricated plot’ earlier in the year that had been behind a string of attacks against Jews and Jewish organizations over the past year, from organized crime. The Executive Director of the Jewish Council of Australia at the time stated (from the link):

“Those who have used these attacks to spread Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism should be ashamed of themselves for exploiting the Jewish community to push bigotry and hatred, and attempt to silence legitimate criticism of Israel. The Jewish Council remains committed to advocating for a society where diversity is celebrated, where all individuals and communities can live without fear of discrimination or violence, and where injustice is called out, at home and abroad.”

Why would the United States and Israel in particular be doing internet searches for the son? The obvious answer is because he was being tracked. Then the question arises, why, and why the day before? He was obviously a person of interest to the security services of those nations. Just from this, if true, we know something about the shooting was likely known in advance by the authorities in these nations. In typical establishment news-speak ‘officials said’ the government had been warned for months about Iranian-backed terrorism in Australia. Such articles as the one just linked are simply narrative steering. That said, it was not the case that the shooters decided on a whim one day, like on the morning of the 14^th, to gather up their firearms and go to Bondi Beach and unload on the Jewish gathering.

None of this is to say that the US or Israel contracted these two men to commit the shooting. But it does raise questions in people’s minds. Why were two Islamic men the shooters? And why blame Resistance factions for the shootings immediately? If this was a sort of false flag or staged event, using two Muslims as the patsies would have appeared on the surface to be a good set up in order to provoke public reaction and demands regarding the narratives listed above. There was even a popular crisis actor on the scene who took a selfie of himself in his makeup after the fact. He is ‘recovering’ in hospital now with a bump to his head. But seriously, if it was the case the event was to be a wholesale slaughter the whole thing at one point suddenly went horribly wrong for the perpetrators, shown by the quincunx between Mars and Uranus in the chart. There was a third Muslim involved.

As the shooting progressed, one of the shooters was accosted by one of the locals, disarmed and forced to flee. That man was a Syrian émigré from Idlib in Syria. He had emigrated from Syria in 2006 and therefore was not a refugee. The troubles in Syria didn’t start in earnest until the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011, otherwise known as the US backed color revolutions across the Middle East and North Africa. Ahmed al-Ahmed was the man’s name and he is now an international hero – the Hero of Bondi. There is a bit of misinformation about our Ahmed, too, in that he was said to be the owner of a local fruit shop. But when contacted, the fruit shop denied even knowing him. As it turns out, he owns a tobacco shop and specialized convenience store and was in the area that day with a friend of his to grab a coffee. Sometimes strange things happen when one goes out and about.

When the shooting started, and being a man of conscience, Ahmed took it upon himself to jump in and disarm one of the perpetrators when he saw his chance. He was wounded for his efforts, but upon seizing the rifle from the shooter, he could have shot him, but didn’t. He said he would have acted no matter who was being targeted. But true to form, Netanyahu tried to claim, initially, that Ahmed was heroic Jewish man, who saved many lives. Oops!

If we look at all the undercurrents here, we can perhaps see that this event was planned, and was done so to enforce certain narratives. However, the Hero of Bondi Beach spoiled the plans of whoever allegedly set this up. Even now, though, the hapless leadership of the Australian government is being pushed to blame Iran for the incident. However, the best they can do because of our hero is to lobby for stricter gun control laws and curbs on hate speech. ‘Hate speech’ these days means criticism of Israel and Jews. Certain pollies in Oz have been trying to blame Iran for criminal acts against Jews in Australia for some time now, even though the government has had to admit the two shooters were Salafist, having no connection with Iran.

Tributes to Ahmed poured in from around the world. Jewish donors have raised over $1 million for Ahmed, including Bill Ackman, while people across the world have raised the total to over $1.5 million with small donations. So much for Islamophobia. His parents are very proud, as parents would be, as are the rest of his family and friends. Donald Trump sang praises to him as did Barron Trump. And Ahmed’s actions that day have served to dampen any Islamophobia in Australia.

Any conspiracies aside, the shooting can at least be seen as a case of blowback for the genocide in Gaza. The streets of the Islamic world of the region are seething with anger and frustration about the West’s inaction to end the genocide as well as feeling the same toward the Israelis themselves.

Bibi Netanyahu never lets up though. Even with egg on his face for calling Ahmed a Jew, he still tries to blame Australia for the attack – never mind the fact that the Israelis kill at least 20 Palestinians a day now on the low estimate, a fact about which we never hear in the news. I can imagine Aussies have a few choice words for Bibi Netanyahu for his remarks. The chutzpah for blaming Australia for the attack while being determined to completely ethnically cleanse Gaza and the West Bank beggars belief. From the link:

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was swiftly criticized around the world on Sunday for trying to connect the deadly shooting that targeted a Hanukkah celebration of Bondi Beach in Sydney to the Australian government’s decision to recognize Palestinians statehood”

The thing is, Netanyahu and the Israeli massacring of civilians in Gaza have done more to cause the rise of anti-Semitism across the world than anything that could have been done in the West. From the same link:

“Obviously massacring unarmed men, women, and children at a Hanukkah celebration is anti-Semitic terror, just like massacring unarmed men, women, and children in Gaza and the West Bank is anti-Palestinian terror. There are no moral exceptions regarding the slaughter of civilians.”

In Netanyahu’s statements all he does is to reduce the victims in such incidents to political pawns. However, we can see the probable reason why he would make such statements. In Australia some of the largest protests in the world against the genocide have taken place. Israel is not held in high esteem by the average Aussie on the street. The Jews living in Australia, on the other hand, have lived peacefully there since the founding of the state. Opinions about Israel even among the Jews are mixed now since October 7^th with a growing number of Jews speaking out against Israeli policy.

Under pressure now from the Israel lobby in Australia, as well as the establishments in Washington and London, the government is forced into an effort to pin the blame for the shooting on Iran. Albo has refused to do so thus far. Blaming Iran will do nothing except to sour relations further between Australia and Iran. Netanyahu still wants his war with Iran. There is another point to add to the chart, though we could mention many.

In relation to the midpoints mentioned at the start of this post, we have the following string: Mars=Neptune=Uranus/Pluto.

Aside from any esoteric considerations, the Mars/Neptune square concerns ‘moving the hearts and minds’ within a society. It is an aspect found in the charts of religious leaders and a few military commanders – Stonewall Jackson and Francisco Franco for military leaders, for instance, and Sri Aurobindo for religious leaders as one example. We mention those two categories for their obvious connections here. The aspect is found across many fields, but it marks people as ones who speak with authority. Harry Truman and Cecil Rhodes had the aspect as well as Robin Williams. Alice Bailey had the approaching square. And it is especially prevalent in creative artists of all types, including film. But we digress.

The square in connection with the so-called ‘revolution midpoint’ relative to this event shows the event was meant for maximum effect on the public. The Uranus/Pluto midpoint has been described as ‘putting a gun to someone’s head’, as follows:

• • Uranus/Pluto: “Acts of violence, upsets, subversive activities, putting the gun to someone’s head, the enforcement of decisions, an accident.”

Mars with that midpoint is even worse:

• • Mars=Ura/Plu: “Fanaticism, an act of violence, the mania of destruction, a state of precipitation. – “The stage of bending or breaking”. – Injury, accident.”

And it has been my experience that it doesn’t matter if Uranus and Pluto are in a soft aspect, if even any aspect at all. The shooters were certainly fanatics.

The intention was for the maximum shock value – a large, open, public celebration, with a group that is increasingly coming under criticism – intended to provoke drastic measures by the government. We will come to the latter point shortly. It is said that Mossad will be involved in the investigations. Probably more to the point, Mossad will be involved because the Israelis are now in damage control and they want to provoke a war with Iran. But because of the actions of one lone concerned citizen, the death toll in the event was much reduced. And if this was intended as some sort of false flag attempt, Ahmed certainly threw a spanner into the works of the attempt. What has happened instead is that Australians have rallied across the board in support of the fallen at the event.

Ahmed al-Ahmed saved more than just lives that day. He probably saved Australia from a rash of increased Islamophobia. He has probably, to a degree helped the Syrian community in Australia, which had been driven from Syria to a significant number because of the Arab Spring violence. His actions have probably served to temper government reactions to the event. And he has served to demonstrate that one’s sense of humanity and what is right exists across all religions and cultures. We are all human beings, after all, regardless of what twisted Zionist ideology tells its people. But what shows in the Australian chart? There, the event is even more revealing. The Australian chart with transits and directions is below (bigger):

We will only cover the chart briefly, but even from the start this is the sort of chart one would see in the case of a coup against a government. Transiting Pluto is on the Midheaven (MC), with directed Neptune square the MC and Pluto from the 7^th house (open enemies of the state) and Mercury squaring the MC from the 1^st house (the common people). Transiting Saturn squares natal Jupiter from the 11^th house (allies, and the happiness and aims of the nation). The progressed Moon by secondary progressions sits on Venus, the latter ruling the 7^th and 2^nd houses (trade and finances for the latter). And lastly we see the transiting Mars and Neptune affecting the natal Chiron, with Mars conjunct Chiron. Transiting Mars is conjunct the 9^th house cusp (foreign influence) from the 8^th house (death).

The Chiron contacts show the shock and pain for the nation due to the actions of the gunmen, the latter having been influenced by foreign actors and ideology. Transiting Saturn shows the heaviness of the situation as well as its gravity, with the shock to the usual larrikin nature of Australians. But it also shows something else – the pressure being placed on Australia to toe the ‘support Israel’ line from erstwhile allies (the US, UK and Israel).

It is essential to remember that Australia is one of the Five Eyes security agreement along with the US and UK, with Australia still being ruled by a foreign power, ultimately (the UK). American interests, especially military and trade relations, are being plied now (no doubt) to push the ‘Iranians did it!’ line. Australia is being used as a pawn in this game, which the Australian elites happily enjoy. I cannot prove such, but it would not surprise me at all. The situation for the US/UK Zionist project is looking increasingly dire, regardless of what the pundits in the Murdoch media might tell us. Even Fox News in the US is giving voice to claims the Iranians are behind the shootings.

This story as it evolves needs to be watched closely. Iran has condemned the attack at Bondi, but the Israelis want a casus belli to go up against Iran. Mercury and Neptune directed to the MC can spell trouble for the government. And an Australian government (Whitlam, ’75) has been dismissed before by the Australian AG for going against the US/UK grain. The combination of planets just mentioned can spell sabotage or deception, or even both.

For now, though, Australia needs to grieve and heal, especially the Jewish community there. It is encouraging that Aussies across the board have rallied in support of the victims and their families. On the other side, Salafism is a cancer on Islam that needs to die out, and soon, as does any extremist ideology – including Zionism. Perhaps then we can all go on and live in peace, as all the religions and cultures did for centuries in Palestine – and do to this day in Iran, in case you didn’t know. For the Jewish communities worldwide, Happy Hanukkah! And may the remainder of all this season’s celebrations bring us healing and the blessings of the New Year.

And just one thing more: I expect the tobacco shop that Ahmed al-Ahmed owns will be doing a roaring business after this. Or maybe he will choose to retire. We all wish him well and a swift recovery, anyway.
