The world was gripped by the recent bombings at the Kabul international airport, coming amidst the evacuations of many thousands of foreign nationals and Afghanis seeking to leave Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover. The airport was jammed with people trying to leave. It was a situation that was a security nightmare, with a government not yet formed, panic among the people seeking to leave and warnings of an imminent attack just hours before the event. At latest count, over 182 people were killed with at least 150 injured. Many questions have been raised and as yet are unanswered. But this event will change the face of Afghanistan. And as an effort to possibly sow wider chaos in that country, it has already backfired. But another specter has raised its head, one that is all too familiar for us now.<\/span><\/p>\n

This post will not be for the faint-hearted and will not be easy for some people to read, but certain facts have emerged after the event that need to be presented, and which will lead to unintended consequences for the perpetrators. So, we start with Wikipedia, which has the following entry:<\/span><\/p>\n

On 26 August 2021 at 17:50\u00a0local time\u00a0(13:20\u00a0UTC),\u00a0during the\u00a02021 evacuation of Afghanistan<\/a><\/span>, a\u00a0suicide bombing\u00a0occurred near Abbey Gate at\u00a0Hamid Karzai International Airport\u00a0in\u00a0Kabul,\u00a0Afghanistan. Shortly thereafter, a second bombing occurred several dozen metres away. [This was since retracted<\/a><\/span>]\u00a0At least 182 people were killed, including 169 Afghan civilians and 13\u00a0United States military,\u00a0who were the first American military casualties in Afghanistan since February 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever wrote this is not American, judging by the spelling. We also note the emphasis on \u2018the first Americans killed since 2020\u2019. There is also this, regarding the bombing:<\/span><\/p>\n

The attack was carried out by\u00a0ISIS-K<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0who released a statement in which they claimed responsibility for the attack and named the suicide bomber. They also released the following claim:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the help of Allah Almighty, the martyrdom brother (Abd al-Rahman al-Logari), may Allah Almighty accept him, was able to penetrate the security barriers imposed by the Crusaders and apostates around Kabul Airport where he was surrounded by a large gathering of American forces, translators and spies cooperating with them at (Baran Camp) in the vicinity of (Kabul Airport), then he detonated his explosive belt on them, as a result of which about 160 people were killed and wounded, including more than 20 members of the American forces.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Wikipedia is notorious for being an unreliable source on foreign reporting, taking its lead from establishment news publications \u2013 i.e., Western and Western-friendly news outlets. Independent sources are rarely cited and information that runs counter to established narratives are not cited. This has been noted widely by independent journalists.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll come back to Wikipedia, but why quote it if the source is unreliable? Firstly, there is the time stamp, which will put astrologers in the ball park when it comes to casting the chart. There was another source for the time of the incident, which was revealed later, and that was by the New York Times<\/em>, also an unreliable source when it comes to foreign reporting. But their time stamp for the incident gives 17:58, which gives a more descriptive chart and, most importantly, the appropriate aspects and midpoints to the angles. We\u2019ll come back to the \u201cGrey Lady\u201d (NYT), too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bombing, as described in establishment (mainstream) press, was a simple suicide bombing by a rogue group, IS-K. But as the opening paragraph states, there is more to this story, and that is where the label of \u2018conspiracy\u2019 will be rolled out. However, the chart shows the likelihood of deception around the event as well as narrative-steering. With that in mind, we have a look at the chart for the indicators of control and deception, which is below (bigger<\/a><\/span>):<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

The first standout is the partile square, within two arc-seconds, to the Meridian axis from the 1st<\/sup> house, showing control (Saturn) of appearances (1st<\/sup> house), i.e. \u2018narrative steering\u2019. In addition, Saturn is in Aquarius (showing something unusual around the incident) and retrograde (not a straightforward execution of the event, and with blow-back on the perpetrators). Pardon the \u2018execution\u2019 remark, but it will have significance as we go along. The first house always represents the presentation\/appearance of the event. Saturn also represents planning, and it is semisquare Neptune (deception, nebulosity in its lower expression) from the 2nd<\/sup> house (the \u2018cui bono\u2019 house in an event chart). The 8th<\/sup> house also shows \u2018cui bono\u2019, especially that of aggressors in an incident.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturn rules the Ascendant, which is Capricorn. There are several curious connections here: Capricorn (among many other things) rules gates, hysteria, concentrations (as in concentrations of people, in this case), depressive atmospheres, difficulties, Afghanistan, cells or areas for confinement, and \u2013 along with Saturn \u2013 terror.<\/span><\/p>\n

The people who were killed and injured in the bombing were crowded into a narrow canal area, with knee-deep run-off water in the canal and narrow walkways on either side, which water was no doubt quite polluted by that point. The attack came at the Abbey Gate, where US military personnel were checking people\u2019s documents. To say there were difficulties at the time would be an understatement. To say that people were desperate, even hysterical to leave would be accurate. That the bombing took place in Afghanistan is beyond dispute. And it goes without saying the bombing resulted in terror.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ascendant also represents the purpose or appearance of an act in a mundane chart, bringing us to the midpoints. All midpoints shown on the chart are by the 45\u00b0 (hidden) modulus. The following midpoints are of particular relevance here:<\/span><\/p>\n
