The latest:      MICHAEL SCHUMACHER ?

2008 Sept:  Psychic Sister Rose, A R A Fieldes Jan: Pluto revolution

 2007 Oct:   All Blacks May:  Springboks

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER RECOVERY ?

December 30

There’s nothing like an awesome trine from Pluto, Neptune or Uranus to lift one’s spirits.

Like a very attractive, abused young wife who’s under an awesome Pluto-Mars trine in 2016. With Mars being governor of the 7^th House ( marriage, partnerships ) she has suddenly gained  the confidence to tell  “ that arsehole ” that “ I’m outta here.”

Or struggling Cambridge horse trainer Brian Jenkins, unaware of the awesome Neptune-Moon in 1997 that would change his life forever. Same year he wins both the Auckland and Melbourne Cups with Jezabeel and does an “ I’m outta here ” to “ Crimbridge ” and moves to Australia soon after. As a winner of the southern hemisphere's greatest horse race.

So we must consider seriously the future of former motor racing champion Michael Schumacher, who just 2 years ago yesterday  had his life-threatening skiing accident. The Schumacher family and his manager Sabine Kehm have released virtually no details on his condition in the interim.

From the year dot, Schumacher was fated to have both his Sun and Moon trashed by Uranus and Pluto through 2013 and 2014. With the Moon ( Cancer 10.21 ) and Sun ( Capricorn 12.58 ) being harassed by Uranus and Pluto as they moved through similar degrees in Aries and Capricorn respectively.

Noteworthy, too, that the Moon is placed hard on the cusp of  the 3^rd House in Schumacher’s natal chart. Such placement can indicate some kind of fame in 3^rd House matters, like mental interests, short journeys and communicating. A nice fit with driving motor cars, but notable that the affliction coincided with the world champion’s  becoming unable to walk or talk.

So what improvement can we expect when Schumacher’s ultra-sensitive Cancer Moon ( in House 3 of communications ) receives an awesome trine from Neptune ( as did B Jenkins ) through March and September this year ? With the most powerful, final leg in January 2017 ?

Officially Neptune’s in Cancer-friendly Pisces 7 degrees at the moment and moving through to 11 degrees in May before turning around.

Following the amazing Astrological revelations about depression and cancer symptons, we could be on the brink of yet another major medical breakthrough !

 

SONNY BILL AND BRUCE McLAREN ?

December 28

 You wouldn’t normally think that NZ’s greatest modern day sportsman and the greatest of all our motor racing drivers would have a lot in common.

 There was a forerunner to Sonny Bill Williams’ sensational medal  ceremony with the kid who dodged security guards at the Rugby World Cup Grand Final. Right here at Pukekohe racetrack in 1964 after Bruce McLaren become the first local ever to win the New Zealand International Grand Prix.

 In those days it was a major, with the best drivers in the world coming downunder  to combine competition with  a  summer holiday every year. Like Jack Brabham, Stirling Moss, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, John Surtees, Jimmy Clark  etc. And special for my father Gordon Murray, who’d began mechanic life with Bruce’s father Les in Remuera before doing an apprenticeship elsewhere. And following the career of young Bruce, who got a major contract with Cooper Climax in Britain, and returned in the early 1960s with a flash Jaguar to show off to  his petrol head mates.

 A trip to Northland, where G H Murray, a car club-hill climb-rally enthusiast in small Ruawai, directed Bruce over to the Aratapu straight near Te  Kopuru and we got up to 80 MILES PER HOUR in the Jag ( the speed limit then was 50 m.p.h ) !                                

 B McLaren’s Pukekohe triumph in 1964 was quite emotional for many, as he toured the track in  a chauffeur-driven limmo. Like the 9 year-old who evaded security and skipped across the front straight just as the limmo was slowing into pit lane, waving his autograph book:

 " Gordon Murray’s son from Ruawai ! " No crash-tackling security guards in those days, just Bruce telling the limmo driver to stop and the AKTV-2  News that evening witnessing the signature…..

 THE  McLAREN LEGACY

 Sadly, Bruce left us at age 32 after crashing one of his own McLaren racecars during testing in 1970.

 According to wiki:

His name lives on in the McLaren team which has been one of the most successful in Formula One championship history, with McLaren cars and drivers winning a total of 20 world championships. McLaren cars totally dominated CanAm sports car racing with 56 wins, a considerable number of them with him behind the wheel, between 1967 and 1972 (and five constructors’ championships), and have won three Indianapolis 500 races, as well as the 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring.

With  great names employed by Bruce McLaren Racing like Fittipaldi, Lauda, Prost, Senna, Hunt, Hakkinen and Hamilton.

PUNTING HANDICAPPERS !

December 27

Spending a couple of hours with horse training legend Colin Jillings, a pot of tea and some cakes is a great way of understanding the terrible demise of NZ horse racing.

84 year-old “ Jillo ”  is pleasantly ensconced in a retirement village in Remuera with his wife of almost 60 years, Alison, and very reflective of the good old days when horse racing was so popular. When around 5-6% of Auckland’s population would be at Ellerslie for Cup day. Just .02% approximately were at the 2015 Auckland Cup.

Now the great unwashed avoid the racetracks like a plague, and rightly so when you consider all the filthy scandals and cover ups. Early this year www.donmurrayastrologer.com revealed a nasty slave labour scam involving a prominent  trainer and her lawyer ripping off desperate Indian workers.

There’s the 3 positives to the banned drug cobalt from the O’Sullivan-Scott stable some 10 months ago, and more recently the vicious beating of a trainer at the Matamata training track by 3 members of the Moroney-Ormsby stable. Etc etc, with this funny revealed a few days ago:

The RIU today charged the Chief Handicapper and Race Planner of NZ Thoroughbred Racing, Mr Dennis Quirke with breaching the betting rules.

Mr Quirke was charged under Rule 706 (h), which prohibits betting by officials and also with a Serious Racing Offence, Rule 801 (1) (s) (i), in that he did an act which a Judicial Committee deems detrimental to the interests of racing.

The charges relate to bets Mr Quirke placed on five New Zealand races in the period August to October 2015. The bets totalled $627 over the five races.

Under the Rules of Racing handicappers cannot bet on New Zealand thoroughbred races. The RIU undertakes regular audits of the betting accounts of officials that are prohibited from betting and it was through this activity that the breaches were identified.

Fast reverse to January 1992 and a back page article with photo in  FRIDAY FLASH ( the long deceased racing weekly ) about the staff betting syndicate’s day out. The caption:

“ Deputy News Media racing editor Mike Brown ( third from right ) can still manage a smile after 10 harness races at the Thames course-only meeting last Sunday, and the odd “ tinny” as well. Other FLASH syndicate members from left include Dean Nowell, Garry Cossey, Doug Childs, Elite chauffeur Philip Whiting, Peter Day, Gareth Kelly, and Stuart Laing.”

At the time I was writing a column in FRIDAY FLASH but not a member of the syndicate. Around then  racecourse inspector John McKenzie was having a grumble about something I had written so I shot back with “ and what about your fucking  handicapper in a betting syndicate ? ”

“ Got proof have we ? ” was the lazy response from the ex-cop McKenzie.

I told him how he could visit the FRIDAY FLASH office and look at  the names on the white board, including “ Deano,”  the supposedly impartial handicapper, Dean Nowell. The man who decides which horses carry which weight. As per April 1987 when he was persuaded by his long-time friend and drinking buddy, amateur rider-deputy editor Mike Brown to lower the weight of a certain steeplechaser by 2 kg. Said steeplechaser, ridden by Brownie and strapped by my good self, won the race in question !

“ I can’t go in there, ” squealed McKenzie. Even if  he were bold enough, during his time in the police force, to arrest several members of the dozen Hells Angels charged with murdering a Highway 61 rival back in 1975, actually just a few blocks away from the Flash office in Prospect Terrace, Mt Eden.

“ Well  just have a  look at the back page of FRIDAY FLASH last week ! ” I laughed. “ Pig John ” got very angry. Probably wondering why no-one had bothered to come forward with a complaint ?

He must have had a word to Nowell, for a few weeks later, the publication editor Bob Lovett quizzed me about  saying anything “ to McKenzie about our betting syndicate ? ”

No, I lied. Next visit to the office I noted that “ Deano ” was replaced on the white board with a new name.

Maybe some legal precedence or case history for Mr Quirke when he goes on trial. I’ve still got the Flash clipping……

MANCHESTER UNITED HILARIOUS

December 26

From the recent media:

" Under-pressure Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal answered only three questions before walking out of a news conference on Wednesday.

The 64-year-old Dutchman was unhappy at being asked about his future following speculation that he could be sacked, and has been under pressure after the worst run of the results in 17 years.

The media briefing, ahead of Saturday's game at Stoke, lasted only five minutes before Van Gaal's departure."

There was plenty of warning, however. From the archives, www.donmurrayastrologer.com:

' MAN UNITED " DONALDED " AS WELL

Aug 28   2014

Back on June 14, I predicted a successful WORLD CUP for the Netherlands  soccer team courtesy of their manager Louis Van Gaal receiving some awesomeness from Uranus and Pluto in July.

The Dutchies didn't do too bad either, as originally $15 shots kicking on to get the bronze medal. But Van Gaal had already booked himself a berth in the  Annual Prophesies for November 26, 2014 on www.donmurrayastrologer.com. Amended slightly when I received news of his new job:

" Van Gaal, Louis:

New Manchester United soccer manager in for some major turbulence with Pluto anti his Jupiter. Jan, July, Nov crucial, before crazy Uranus attacks the Moon and Mars in 2016. " 

Yesterday there's a major shock:

" In just his third match in charge of Manchester United, Louis van Gaal oversaw one of the most humiliating losses in the club's illustrious history this morning (NZT).

The record 20-time English champions timidly capitulated to Milton Keynes Dons, losing 4-0 to the third-tier club in the second round of the League Cup.

Hired to halt the decline under David Moyes in the post-Alex Ferguson era, Van Gaal had already endured a loss and a draw in his first two Premier League matches before one of three possible routes to silverware ended in Milton Keynes."

Another short-term manager ?  '

THE SEASON

December 25

 May the feastival time be prosperous and happy  for our thousands of readers and clients.

 May you be  empowered and enlightened by the awesome Astrological and may your 2016 be full of positive Pluto and Uranus trines.

 Let us hope that more shall follow suit, to understand their psychological conditions and limitations, and get early warning of  employment crises  and major health issues as well.

 

INSTANT SPLATTER FOR BLATTER

December 24

During the 2014 Soccer World Cup a  Swiss fan sent me the birthdate of controversial FIFA boss Sepp Blatter, with a suggestion that his  planets indicated trouble was on the horizon.

Was there ever ! With major personal  turbulence forecast, then his debut appearance in the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com, November 26, 2015:

“ Blatter, Sepp:

It  gets worse for the disgraced FIFA boss, with Pluto demoralising his Moon from February until December. ”

Enhanced in the recent media:

“ Banished from soccer's ruling body for eight years for unethical conduct, Sepp Blatter won't give up the presidency of his beloved FIFA without a fight.

"I will fight. I will fight until the end," Blatter said Monday at a news conference that started 90 minutes after he and former protege Michel Platini were each banned by FIFA's ethics committee.

It was a stunning removal of world soccer's most powerful leaders over a $2 million payment by FIFA to Platini, the president of European soccer's ruling body UEFA. The payment is also the subject of a criminal investigation in Switzerland. ”

AND JOHN KEY !

One of NZ’s greatest disasters was  supervised by a “ Pluto demoralising his Moon, ”  as per All Blacks coach Graham Henry during their shock  departure in a quarter-final of the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

With another looming in the distance. “ Pluto demoralising his Moon ” shall, in 2018-19,  be applying to  Captain Tampaxtic, leader of the cuntry, prime minister John  Key !

With Astrology there’s always something to look forward to……

INSTANT McCULLUM !

December 23

 Full credit to anybody who wisely opts out of a doomed venture.

 You can only imagine the empty seats on some of those downed, mysteriously  crashed airliners if the budding travellers had been smart enough to visit an acknowledged practitioner of the Astrological science in advance.

 A reasonably famous entertainer drastically changed her holiday plans once after I showed  her the  " there, there and there " 3 negative Pluto hits during her planned vacation month.

 So full marks to this joker, following his perfection from  the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com on November 26, 2014:

“ McCullum, Brendon:

Career chaos when Uranus whacks Jupiter in April, November, January 016 . Pluto-Jupiter attack 2016 will supervise even bigger changes. ”

Following the “ chaos of  April and November, ” the appearance 365 days later was obviously the final straw for the champion batsman.

“ McCullum, Brendon:

Massive and difficult career changes from Pluto-Jupiter attack until Oct 017. Feb, May, Dec 016 particularly difficult.”

From yesterday’s media:

“ Black Caps skipper Brendon McCullum has officially announced that he will retire from all international cricket at the end of the summer.

The 34-year-old made the announcement at a New Zealand Cricket press conference in Christchurch this afternoon.

McCullum, who formally took charge of New Zealand in all three formats on the tour to South Africa at the start of 2013, will play his 100th test against Australia at the Basin Reserve starting on February 12, and will end with the second match of that rubber in Christchurch, from February 20. ”

GEMMA AND RICHIE ?

 Will Gemma Flynn and Richie McCaw get married in 2016, or will they break up ?

 To be revealed  on the 2015 final Weekly Astrology Report, on Auckland-based Indian  radio station Humm Fm, Thursday morning.

 106.2 fm ( NZ ) or via the website donmurrayastrologer.com, Thursday 8.30.

THE DOPE SMOKERS  OF PAARL---21 YEARS LATER

December 22

 One of  NZ cricket’s biggest scandals erupted on the Black Caps’ tour of South Africa in the 1994-95  summer.

 Courtesy of some narks like " The Rat " ( born February 1966 )  news broke about some players having a marijuana session during a barbecue at a place called Paarl.

 Three of the juniors took the rap and got minor suspensions from their governors. There were actually another 4 senior members getting wasted as well but their identities were kept secret. One of their partners ( an Aries of the 1964 Dragon Year ) was  involved in sourcing the supply.

 How did the experience affect the three juniors ?   Did the supposed " gateway drug "  impede their advancements in life ? From Wiki:

Stephen Paul Fleming, ONZM (born 1 April 1973) is a former New Zealand cricketer, and captain of the New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, in Test and one-day cricket. Known for his astute tactical abilities, he is New Zealand's second-most capped test player with 111 test appearances, longest-serving and most successful captain, having led the side to 28 victories and having won Test match series' against India, England, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. He retired from international cricket on 26 March 2008. Fleming played in the 2008 Indian Premier League for the Chennai Super Kings after being signed for US$350,000 and became the team's coach from 2009.  In February 2015 he was signed as coach of the Melbourne Stars of the Big Bash League.

He was particularly noted for his captaincy, having been praised from the likes of Shane Warne as the "best captain in world cricket" and most recently, Graeme Swann who said that Fleming is one of the two true leaders that he's ever seen, alongside Andrew Strauss.

Dion Joseph Nash (born 20 November 1971 in Auckland, New Zealand) played for the New Zealand cricket team, captaining the team in 1999 with the injury of regular captain Stephen Fleming. Nash was a right-arm fast medium bowler, taking 93 Test wickets in a career spanning from 1992 to 2001.

In June 2005, Nash was named as one of the national selectors. In 2008 he became a batsman/bowler for the official New Zealand Beach Cricket Team.

Matthew Norman Hart (born 16 May 1972, Hamilton, Waikato) is a New Zealand cricketer. Hart, a left-arm orthodox spinner, played in 14 Tests between 1994 and 1996, claiming 29 wickets including one five-wicket haul against South Africa. He also appeared in 13 ODIs, claiming 13 wickets, including a then-record haul by a New Zealander in One Day Internationals, claiming 5/22 against the West Indies in 1994. His international career lasted from 1994 to 2002, eventually losing his place in the team to Daniel Vettori. Hart retired from cricket in 2005 at the age of 33, citing a loss of enthusiasm for the game.

Of course the longevities of Nash and Fleming were predicted in the now departed weekly TRUTH, courtesy of their awesome Astrologicals:

DION THE DEMON’S GOING TO BE BIG ( October 21, 1994 )  and FLEMING IDEAL AS SKIPPER ( March 24, 1995 ). No matter what they dropped, drank,sorted or smoked, they were always going to be greats........

LOMU, PUTIN AND OBAMA ?

December 20

 You wouldn’t normally think that the recently departed rugby steamroller had much in common with a couple of dodgy national leaders.

 More than a couple of dodgies, you can add former leaders Helen Clark and George W Bush to the group possessing " Saturn in the 12^th House " that’s the classic for hiding dark secrets and putting on a brave face.

 Just imagine putting them all on lie detectors. Like  " George, how come you were down in Florida when 9-11 happened ? "

 George W  would simply explain that it was all planned, with all the interceptor aircraft conveniently involved in  an exercise in Alaska that day. All so the USA could blame Bin Laden and Al Qaeda and give them an excuse to carry out bombing raids in Afghanistan in order to find the perpetrators, and also find valuable oil pipeline space and plenty of saleable heroin.

 You could ask Barack Obama " who’s backing ISIS ? " and he’d probably snarl and declare that “  Putin the fucking nark has already dobbed us in, as well as  Turkey and Israel.”

 To Ms Clark: " And what about your husband’s activities at San Francisco Airport in June 2006, Helen ? " ( There was a puff of smoke, a flash of light and suddenly a nation was without electricity.)

 Following Jonah Lomu’s departure at age 40, the dark secrets have emerged, that he died penniless after blowing  millions in bad investments. Enter the Venus negative Pluto factor, an aspect under which J Lomu arrived that places massive roadblocks in the path to contentment.

 Venus bad Pluto sufferers are desperate to find happiness. They gamble, spend impulsively  and encounter major complications in close relationship matters. Venus-Pluto complications frequently involve marriages with major age or cultural differences. The Tongan boy from Mangere’s first wife was a black African and the next  2 palagi. Having his Sun and Moon close together in Taurus made Jonah very determined, stubborn and reluctant to make personal changes, with the Cancer Ascendant providing the ultra-sensitivity and extreme  moods……

 JONAH’S GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT

 He failed to win a Grand Final in 2  Rugby World Cup campaigns and might claim the dubious honour of inspiring millions into fast food from his lucrative advertising contract with McDonalds. He’s probably the most famous Tongan in history and brought a lot of mana and inspiration to their  fine  culture.

 Jonah Lomu was probably the final nail in the coffin of amateur rugby. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch saw Jonah trampling defenders in the 1995 Rugby World Cup and from his New York penthouse phoned his main man in  Australia, Sam Chisholm, with simple orders to  “  Sign him. I want J Lomu on my television channels ! ”

 Rugby Union bosses already had  major diarrhoea problems  after Murdoch’s mob introduced Super League into Australia in April 1995  and all the rugby  league players with committed clubs were getting massive pay rises. Plus the rugby league chequebooks were  coveting J Lomu’s signature……

 Sam Chisholm started talking to the captains and great rugby players from the All Blacks, Springboks and Wallabies, with very secret meetings and after the rumblings of a great rugby war, the stodgy old Brits came to the party and the rules were changed to allow fully professional rugby. And what a bonus for brown-skinned  youths like Jonah from " the Chocolate Triangle "—the region encompassing Otahuhu, Otara and Mangere in South Auckland.

 Must be hundreds of them, once resigned to careers in the freezing works or at the Fisher and Paykel or Carter Holt Harvey factories, now playing  rugby ( or league ) all over the world, saving money to buy houses back home and experiencing  foreign cultures.

 Like  one of my Samoan mates from Glen Innes. He’s been to 2 Rugby World Cups with Western Samoa, played in Japan and Scotland and coached in Japan as well.  And the Samoan boy from " Gee Eye " met his wife, half Chinese-half Maltese and born in London, in a library in Scotland…..

2015—THE ARSEHOLES

December 18

 One of 2015’s high points was the axing of TV3’s  flagship current affairs show  CAMPBELL LIVE.

 For a start host John Campbell’s  massive career changes in 2014-15-16 were forecast long beforehand. There were also  " good fucking job ! " factors involved, after TV3 and CAMPBELL LIVE’s total ignorance of some incredible Astrological prophesies  on the All Blacks, NZ Warriors, Canterbury Crusaders, Ritchie McCaw, Valerie Adams, Scott Dixon, the All Whites, the Silver Ferns, Matthew Elliott and cricket’s John Wright and Mike Hesson etc.

 Consider TV3 sports editor Tony Wright, who for some reason had gone strangely septic on the Astrological after supervising so many of the great prophesies above on the January 1 of 2011,2012 or 2013. I  contacted Wright late 2013 and he wasn’t keen on anymore January 1 pearls.  Wright produced little more than a mumble  when asked why TV3 omitted the incredible prophesy about Team NZ’s amazing  choke in the 2013 America’s Cup…….

 But mid-2015 there’s a TV3 investigations into dodgy, rip-off Indian fortune tellers/witchdoctors.  So notable was TV3’ s looking for a  dark and gloomy side, but it’s the media norm these days. For they’d rather the masses be living in fear of terrorism, and reading about murders and car crashes, rugby stars and the Kardashians, than being reassured and empowered by  ( real ) Astrological wisdom.

 Quite a number of media cowards have experienced the Astrological phenomenon, by either personal enlightenment or the supervision of public prophesy. If only these media puppets  had been bold  enough to stand up and publicly acknowledge the greatness. So many of the masses would have been able to check before losing their money in finance company scams, so many would have learned about our amazing methods of early cancer detection or been aware of their upcoming job losses.

 Heaps of cowards and ironically so many sufferers of " depression, " like Murray Deaker ONZM, Doug Golightly, Jayjay Feeney-Harvey, the late Charlotte Dawson  and Jacqui Brown etc, along with racing commentator George Simon. And this prick:

 Nov 26  2009

Hi Don

Hope all is well---just read your predictions for 2010 and noted Positives for Feb 22,23 but those born March 18,19,20,21 can expect the unexpected in a problem year.

Any assistance for those of us born Feb 24 ??   FYI, if you want to enter me in your database ( in case I ever become famous ) It's Feb 24, 1963, 7 am Palmerston North.

Cheers and keep up the good work---especially like the recent post on Bungle Jim, who continues to mutter away at the SUNDAY NEWS.

Michael Donaldson,

Sports editor

Sunday Star-Times

PO Box 1327, Auckland

 The closest any media dog has come to being humble enough to get advice, yet unable to share his beliefs  with  readers of a  decaying newspaper. Or get the recommended enlightenment.

 “ My hands are tied,” Donaldson once lamented, of his newspaper’s policies. Unfortunate, for this fellow’s gonna  to have some serious health issues, with a very similar natal chart to Martin Crowe, Dean Logan and numerous other cancer victims with Pluto and Uranus locked together in House 6. He’ll be a major " case history " in 2018.

 A shame that so many have to learn the hard way about the world’s oldest science……..

THAT COBALT POSITIVE  

December 16

It’s all over the place….Moody, Kavanagh sen. and O’Brien currently in the dock, the Hopes, Brennan, Kavanagh jun. and D Smith copping long disqualifications for doping their gallopers in Australia.

Plenty more in the pipelines across the Tasman, with the NZ authorities dithering extremely about the 3 cobalt positives from Matamata’s O’Sullivan-Scott stable as far back as 10 months ago !

8 days ago, in our Racing Non-Integrity Quiz, the presence of another was revealed:

" December 8

 There’s nothing wrong with horse racing in New Zealand when you’ve got  a system that’s returned $1.93 for every $1 invested in the last 5 years. ( Champion Racing System, above )

 Many would disagree, citing the pitiful 3500 average crowd for the 3-day Auckland Cup meeting last March. 10% of the attendances 15-20 years ago, and recent surveys indicate that over 80% of New Zealanders have no faith in the integrity of racing !  There’s been heaps of human doping and horse doping scandals, with the Racing Integrity Unit sitting on yet another positive to the trendy Cobalt from the harness racing industry and too scared to release details. "

From today’s media:

‘ Southland harness trainer-driver Shane Walkinshaw claims he has proof a feed supplement is to blame for his horse Not Bad returning a positive swab to cobalt.

Racing Integrity Unit general manager Mike Godber confirmed on Tuesday the A and B samples of the pacer had tested positive to a banned substance, but would not name it.

"Our policy is we don't release any more information until investigations are completed," Godber said. 

Walkinshaw said the substance was cobalt, which increases oxygen to the blood and makes horses sustain speed for longer.’

Godber’s own “ integrity ” got a mention down on December 10, beneath   " RACING’S BEST LIE ? "

 

MORE CRICKET SHOCKS

December 15

 Some of the greatest prophesies in history have been made on cricketing personnel.

 Martin Crowe, Glenn Turner, Stephen Fleming of the 1990s, and in recent years the massive improvement for the Black Caps under Mike Hesson. Also  the  misfortunes for John Wright,  Mahendra S Dhoni, Michael Clarke and Brendon McCullum. Etc etc.

 There was some recent resurgence by India when they whipped South Africa 2-0 at home. But it ain’t gonna last, courtesy of complications in the natal chart of coach Ravi Shastri.

 Where better to discuss the upcoming misfortunes of Indian cricket than the Auckland-based Indian radio station Humm Fm ?

THIRD WORLD RACING

December 14

 We’ve laughed our heads off at the hopelessness of the rapidly declining  NZ horse racing industry.

 The corruption and inefficiencies, the protected species, the lies and the violent underbelly, with new heights attained  just two minutes before the first race began at Te Rapa on Saturday.

 When, as the final runners were being loaded, the starter realised his often faulty gates were at the 1100 metres pole!  When it was a 1200 metres race !

 Major delays on the iconic Waikato Gold Cup day, with the removal of runners and repositioning of the gates 100 metres back. And no-one had noticed until it was almost too late……

 Just 2 or 3 years earlier there was a similar dumbness during race one down in Christchurch at Riccarton. Runners turned into the back straight and suddenly  riders noticed a line of orange cones dividing the track 200 metres ahead ! Someone had forgot to put the cones away after morning trackwork. The race was declared null and void and BAHA MEN started singing " Who left the cones out ? "

 LIGHT HARNESS VIOLENCE

 Following the  gang bash revelations from Methametha ( Dec 10 article  ) a few more sickening stories have come my way. And a funny one, involving an angry committeeman of a prominent trotting club who was cornering a licenceholder into  a saddling stall while he  lost his rag.

 To his credit  the licenceholder stayed remarkably calm. Lucky (  for the committeeman ), since he’s unbeaten in an amateur boxing career and used to train with his friend David Tua….

 

THE " CHRISTMAS " SONG

December 13

 A christian reassured me recently that Jesus Christ is definitely making his long-awaited return to earth NEXT YEAR.

 Is it the right year for  him to be travelling ? That can be verified from his time of arrival at 3.34 am on 28 February 7 b.c, in Jerusalem, Israel.  Country of birth brings instant suspicion; was he a pawn in the first attempt at a Jew World Order, with the masses encouraged to fear an  almighty who  would judge them and decide whether they were bad enough for toastland ?

 Although  " heaven and hell "  theories got  totally smoked when my 1980  journalism included interviewing a world famous clairaudient from the United Kingdom. She who took the ring from my finger and went into a trance, describing my lovely old grandma  " up there " and an uncle  " he was a driver for a job on earth, " as per uncle Jimmy the taxi driver. Then the " shortish youth, with curly black hair,  a motorcycle was involved " which fitted the description of Charlie ( aged 20 )  who wrote his Honda 750 off a week after purchasing. And prolific party animal  Charlie is in the same place as my deeply religious grandma ?

 "… light brown hair, tall, reddish complexion. I think he took his own life. " As per one of Charlie’s best mates who  voluntarily departed at age 22.  So it’s no fluke that Charlie’s up there, if Rebo’s up there too, in fact it’s easy to imagine that the afterworld is  entry free. Next clairaudient visit I’ll try and remember to ask about muslim terrorists and gang members….

 Jesus’ birth chart is strong on kindness and sympathy and being romantic, with 5 planets in Pisces. With a strong sex drive from Mars in House 8, and further non-Astrological revelations have confirmed that Jesus Christ was a carpenter and married with 2 children. ( Also confirmed Astrologically by progression.)

 So you just gotta laugh at christians, in fact any believers in an almighty power, when so much of Astrology has been correctly proven. Then have a laugh at the succession of lies that have followed " the virgin birth of Jesus Christ "  ( that was actually forecast by the 3 wise men, Astrologers themselves  ) through history.

 For the last 2222 years ( since J C was really born ) right up until last week with the San Bernadino massacre in the USA. What a classic, with all the blame on an Islamic couple. Yet there are 3 ( at time of writing )  independent witnesses who saw three big athletic men in military gear enter the building  !   One had even received a phone call ordering him to  " say  Farook did it !  "

 You must wonder about all of the people who aired their immediate suspicions about 9-11, and soon after " committed suicide " or died mysteriously. Same as lots of USA bankers, and doctors who have questioned some of the ingredients in certain vaccines and did not live much longer………

 But even if  christianity  is  the biggest scam in history, we must be grateful for the  brilliant song that was created………

DONALD TRUMP’S MENTAL ILLNESS

December 12

 He  earned a spot in last month’s Annual Prophesies on www.donmurrayastrologer.com.

 So following some of his recent lunacies, I had a closer inspection of D Trump’s natal chart.  He suffers from depression !

 Yep, the old classic, energetic Mars closeted away in secretive House 12. Technically one in every 12 beings must have it, with 12 Houses in the Astrological chart and Mars, like every other planet, has to reside somewhere.

 Mars in the 12^th is one of the great cornerstones of mental illness, with so many  possessors having been abused as children. A very common placement also for women who experience breast enlargement, like NZ’s iconic double----- Nicky Watson and the late Charlotte Dawson who each  had 3-4 tit jobs to enhance themselves after the mental illness experiences.

 Kim Kardashian is yet another with Mars in the 12^th.

 Donald Trump’s natal chart possesses yet  another unhappiness classic, normally happy Venus (25 ) and wet blanket Saturn ( 23 ) dangerously  close together in Cancer. Add a Sun-Moon opposition ( Gemini to Sagittarius ) that defines  major disharmony between the inner and outer selfs, and is often found in people who spend long periods in a life/job/marriage they hate.

 So  why has Donald Trump  had so much career success ?

 Something he shares with Sir Richard Branson and a pair of young New Zealanders born 3 days apart  in January 1992, unbeaten boxer Joseph Parker and champion jockey James McDonald---the awesome Jupiter-Uranus trine !

 A rarity that guarantees plenty of being in the right place at the right time, that’s only occurred in the last 60 years in 1960,1964, 1974, 1978, 1987, 1991-92 and 2005-06. Not that it’s gonna be any help to Trump next year:

. “  Trump, Donald:

Major and difficult  lifestyle-career changes from Pluto-Jupiter attack until Nov 017. Major strain April 016 from negative Mars progression, with Uranus-Jupiter lunacy 2 months earlier. ”

Also has to be monitored when serious Saturn sodomises his Sun and Moon, in December  016 and January  017, and strong between July and October in 017. Not the sort of prick the USA would need as president.

METHAMETHA BASHING UPDATE

December 10

More witnesses have emerged to the vicious 3 on one bashing at the Matamata training track. ( story below )

Here was the victim, held down by two assailants while another kicked him repeatedly in the head, as the victim’s girlfriend, screaming hysterically, ran towards the course manager for help. Stacks of witnesses, but nobody offered medical assistance for the victim, who finally drove his truck home with blood gushing from various head wounds.

After an urgent damage control discussion,  Matamata Racing Club officials decided to charge the victim with assaulting one person !  He didn’t attend the hearing for reasons of double jeopardy, while trying to get some action from the local police. His fight for justice  continues.

DICKEYLICKER DENNIS ?

A.k.a  61 year-old Dennis Ryan, editor of NZ racing’s official weekly newspaper The Informant, current president of the Matamata Racing Club and timer of their track gallops. A long-suffering racing journalist, former trainer, racing board official, breeder and jockey’s agent as well, and one of the many dinosaurs who’ve watched their beloved industry degenerate into its current mess.

What does Dennis think of this ?

TYRE SLASHERS

A few years back a group of Matamata apprentice jockeys were fined and narrowly escaped  official suspensions after they slashed the tyres of a vehicle owned by a female rival. Said group included one of the bashers above.

PROTECTION MONEY AND BLACKMAIL

Mentioned below is the standover man-P seller once employed by the Moroney stable. Mohd Yusof used to demand “ protection money ” from Malaysian workers in Matamata who lived in fear of repercussions involving their families back home from Yusof’s alleged mafia connections. Yusof  was also involved in blackmailing a trainer he’d photographed smoking the dreaded P pipe…..

CASE HISTORY

Heaps, my favourite being the plight of teenage apprentice jockey Dwayne McKenzie on Guy Fawkes night, 1997. His rostered half-day off for the week, even if he had done the normal 5-6 hours of horsework from 5 a.m.

He was so looking forward to dinner and movies with his girlfriend, but the foreman for Nigel Tiley’s  Takanini stable had other ideas. Staff were now required to stay working until midnight, to calm the nervy thoroughbreds amidst the sky rockets and explosions. For no extra pay, of course.

Rebellion in the staff, requiring Tiley to be called back from his Guy Fawkes celebrating. After  kicking and punching  little McKenzie, Tiley sacked him as well as the four eye witnesses. Dwayne McKenzie took his very justified complaint to a racecourse detective and was told to take it to the police. By the same racecourse detective who would be a guest at Tiley’s 2^nd wedding 7-8 years later !

The same racecourse detective who some 2 years before the Guy Fawkes bashing was quoted in TRUTH, about the need to “ protect our rising stars ” in their policies towards domestic and male-on-female violence in the decadent industry !

Then about 6 months after the Dwayne McKenzie incident, another identity known as “ Sticko McBash ”  viciously assaulted one of his female apprentices. She took her complaint to the same racecourse inspector, who simply told her to “ get over it and go back to work.”

RACING’S BEST LIE ?

There would be millions of contenders for this dubious award. One submission:

Back in March 2009 the integrity of NZ racing got blown to pieces with publicity around trainer Leo Molloy paying boxing champ Sean Sullivan $1000 to try and force me to remove certain articles from the then www.donmurray.co.nz. Nothing was removed and Sean used some of his wages on an Astrological enlightenment instead, also remembering our many mutual acquaintances.

The CIB tried hard to nail Molloy for extortion but NZ racing did nothing. They appeared keen, then dropped their guts when it became apparent that investigations into the numerous sex scandals at Te Akau Racing could become very embarrassing. Especially if I released the statement of a  girl who was aged 15  “ at the time.”

Two years later RIU boss Mike Godber tried to finalise the matter in a letter to me: “ The Board of NZTR also wrote a letter, to which I have been privy, giving a final warning to the persons concerned.”

Rather strange considering they never even interviewed the victim !.... “ persons concerned ? ”-----Molloy and Sullivan the only possibilities, although Sean told me next conversation that “ no bastard gave me any warning.”

Trust NZ racing at your own peril......

FEAR AND LOATHING IN METHAMETHA

December 9

 One of the great regions for breeding and training racehorses in New Zealand, along with nearby and also renamed  Crimbridge.

 Where  wealthy breeders mix with the wannabes and institutionalised horseyheads who earn less than the minimum wage. They’re all addicts and have little choice, when so many start serious racehorse life as soon as they’re old enough to wag school.

 Towns full of marriage scandals, violence and methamphetamine in the racing communities, with Crimbridge’s latest being comeback jockey Jason Waddell’s one-year disqualification for  reckless riding and threatening people over  revenge in a long-standing employment issue. He joins former champion, 3-times premier jockey Lisa Cropp ( drugging herself ) and group one-winning trainer Brett McDonald ( drugging horses ) of Crimbridge who are serving   3-years and 18 months  disqualifications respectively.

 Waddell had previously been disqualified for 14 months over methamphetamine matters.

 Nothing with as much publicity from Methametha, but the racing hierarchy  are desperately trying to cover up a big one. As per 3 members of the Moroney-Ormsby stable staff ganging up on another licenceholder. " They were kicking his head in ! " claimed an eye witness.

 After viewing several photos of the victim’s head, I believe the witness.

 Not surprising to anyone who knows the history of the Moroney stable, with a succession of junior partners while main man Mike Moroney resides in Melbourne. A racecourse inspector spoke once of a serious drug culture amongst the staff and horses at Moroneys, around the time co-trainer Paul Moroney handed in his licence. Which was after his  30 years-younger girlfriend and stable employee was busted with P after a  copcar chase. Before that they  had employed Malaysian P seller-standover man ( half man ) jockey Mohd Yusof, who fleeced  the infamous Lisa Cropp of $20,000.

 One of Mike Moroney’s junior partners was Andrew Scott, who has been suspended for a " serious racing offence "  and is currently under investigation with now training partner Lance O’Sullivan for 3 cobalt positives which happened 9 months ago…….

RACING NON-INTEGRITY QUIZ

December 8

 There’s nothing wrong with horse racing in New Zealand when you’ve got  a system that’s returned $1.93 for every $1 invested in the last 5 years. ( Champion Racing System, above )

 Many would disagree, citing the pitiful 3500 average crowd for the 3-day Auckland Cup meeting last March. 10% of the attendances 15-20 years ago, and recent surveys indicate that over 80% of New Zealanders have no faith in the integrity of racing !  There’s been heaps of human doping and horse doping scandals, with the Racing Integrity Unit sitting on yet another positive to the trendy Cobalt from the harness racing industry and too scared to release details.

 Merely water off Donald Duck’s back to the Astrological punters, with 2016 looming as the year to eclipse the 2012 record of 8 wins from 18 investments. ( $10 and $12 winners included ) So to honour this wonderful industry, there’s a  special Racing Non-Integrity Quiz.

 First person with the 10  correct answers wins 3 free months of Astrological investment bets:

 1: In the late 1960s, a young amateur rider had his licence withdrawn following a stipendiary steward’s report after “ an inglorious display “ in a 4-horse maiden steeplechase at Te Rapa. Ex- amateur has become very successful and has held a trainer’s licence in 3 countries. Name please. Graeme………….

 2: One of the knighted, great men of the NZ racing industry was allegedly fathered by a  catholic priest. Name please.

 3: NZTR’s senior handicapper was a member of a  betting syndicate and was in a photo of such on the back page of FRIDAY FLASH in January 1992. Name please.

 4:  A  champion jockey was once paying $900 weekly in  child support for 3 children to as many different mothers. Name please. 

 5:  In 1995 a prominent  racing man had to cough up $30k in hush money after he seduced a 15 year-old schoolfriend of his daughter’s in the region of Ngaruawahia. First initial please.

 6:  In January 1992 a  female trainer asked me if “ the stars have it planned for me to spend my life married to this cunt ? “  Husband was nearby, just a month after they had become parents. Initials ( the same ) of  both parties please.   D……

 7: A 60 year-old  Auckland-based amateur trainer-driver in light harness recently fought in a charity boxing tournament and won. Name please.

 8: A gay jockey has won a  NZ premiership. Name please.

 10:  A racecourse inspector attended a licensed trainer’s wedding in March 2005 and 2 months later had to charge him with serious misconduct for threatening behaviour. Name please

 If nobody gets the 10, we’ll pay out on 9 correct or even down to 8.

 Answers to:  donstar@ihug.co.nz

 Worth a crack with a record like this:

 Since 2011:  89  investments, 23 wins 
Average win div $7.73  on a 25% winning strike rate ( Investment $1=$1.93 )

 

KRAZY KARDASHIAN KIDS

December 7

 There was a warning back on November 16 about babies arriving in the first week of December 2015.As per:

“  For Pluto and Mars shall be clashing until the end of time, next  in the first week of December 2015. Meaning most born within an hour each side of midnight in that week shall have Pluto from that crucial 6^th House attacking Mars in the 3^rd , promising problems with cancer, anger management or extreme substance abuse for its possessors.

 Whereas those born between 3 and 5 am approximately will be gifted the depression classic, Mars in the secretive 12^th House. Etc etc.”

So sudden expletives weren't necessary after Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s  " billy lid " arrived early on Saturday December 5, when Mars ( Libra 13.20 ) and Pluto ( Capricorn 14.10 ) were at loggerheads. Courtesy of such close degrees,  the new arrival will have great problems maintaining positive energy. Major problems, in fact.

 Of course his early life ain’t gonna be too fantastic, courtesy of his parents’ recent appearance in the Annual Prophesies, www.donmurrayastrologer.com of November 26:

“  West, Kanye:

Uranus-Node negativity brings residential  chaotics, especially May, Oct and March 017. Then Pluto over the 7^th cusp supervises massive change in a close relationship between Feb and Dec 017.  ”  

“ Kardashian, Kim:

Major career fail late in year from difficult Mars progression, before Uranus-Sun reversals in 2017. Awesome Pluto-Venus trine brings  a new romance in 2018. ”

We must therefore consider their daughter, North West, who arrived in June 2013 and would have earned this forecast if she’d been important enough for the  November 2015 Annuals:

“ Kardashian, North-West:

Major confusions and delusions with Neptune attacking both her Moon and Mars, and Pluto anti Venus. March, Aug, Sept, Oct and Jan 017 very drastic. ”

Lest we not forget that North-West shall be extremely moody, courtesy of that Moon and Mars scrapping from very tight 10.25 and 10.40 respectively. Great compulsions from this tightness,  nymphomania and epilepsy common, with Mars closeted away in the secretive 12^th House,  the main significator of depression. Identical is in her mother’s chart as well……

 

 

THE SPRINGPARK DOPEYS

December 6

There’s no better insurance against financial disaster than the time-honoured Astrological.

Foreign, unfortunately, to the many who’ve invested their total trust in “ the system.” Those honoured in song by the late, great Lou Reed in STREET HASSLE:

“ You know, some people got no choice
and they can never find a voice
to talk with that they can even call their own
So the first thing that they see
that allows them the right to be
why they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck.”

From the recent media:

‘ Auckland developer Tony Gapes has expressed sympathy for 140 home buyers who are victims of financial problems at his Springpark housing project.

"I just feel sorry for all the purchasers and them not ending up with houses," he said yesterday. "The receivers were called in by our funder, a Singaporean private equity business, Olympus Capital."

Receiver Dave Ruscoe yesterday confirmed that he and Richard Simpson had been appointed receivers and managers of Panama Road Developments, the vehicle behind the 10.5ha Springpark project, near Sylvia Park in Mt Wellington.

Gapes planned 420 terraced homes, with three- to four-storey apartments, but the project has been dogged by delays for two years.’

Obviously many sufferers of destructive Pluto and Uranus transits, or secondary progressions. And so often I’ve shuddered during the past-life analysis for a client when identifying a difficult Pluto era. Like a fellow who suffered 3 negative Plutos in a recent 4-year period. He took redundancy from a “ good job “ and invested it in a coffee bar. He started some extra-marital with an employee, his marriage broke up, the coffee bar folded and he was suddenly $200k lighter.

All which could have been avoided so easily......

MR ROTHSCHILD AND VEITCHY

December 5

 The worst aspect of Astrology is that it makes so many people angry. So sad, for it provides enlightenment, and understanding of major problems, and  solutions.

 So amidst the trauma of last weekend’s bombing I tried to explain that one of the key figure’s Uranus-Jupiter complications had been predicted long ago. This was the “ bombing out “ of the NZ Cricket team against Aussie, which made one Facebook  poster quite angry:

 Lance Thompson " I'm so annoyed I read that. I could have spent that time checking the washing for lint or trying to get a cat to freak out at a cucumber. But no, I had to go and read that and now I worry about whether Don is allowed a firearms license or even whether they let him breed.

You're a concern, Don. Go and discuss this with a doctor."

 Each to his own, hard out sports fans like that obviously prefer the wisdom of people this:

 Veitchy on Sport

  It’s The Vent – thanks to Tradestaff.

We were absolutely rogered in the test series…. all the way through the Black Caps got the raw deal and they still almost drew the series!

Will day-night tests work in New Zealand??

Plus Davis Cup… Chris Cairns… time to fire up with your Vent!

 Get angry ! Get violent ! urges the  Tony Veitch of  Radiosport  so renowned for a domestic violence conviction from viciously kicking a fiancée as she writhed in pain on the floor.

 Would Veitchy be a wiser, more balanced person if he knew about his Astrological definitions ? Like ownership of that black, moody Scorpion Moon, one of the cornerstones of depression and being extremely difficult to live with ? And how he was getting seriously harassed by Uranus and Pluto during the major disgrace when he was contemplating suicide a couple of times. ( Lance Thompson wouldn’t support his application for a firearms licence.)

 “ Hi guys, ” begins Veitchy, the day after his Astrological enlightenment session. “ Great win by the Aussies at the weekend, excellent bowling from Starc and batting from Warner, possibly some debatable captaincy by McCullum, a disappointing performance from Watling, and McCullum with the bat, and a few debatable decisions from the umpire. But hey, it’s happened and we can’t change the past. Let’s move on and  talk about the positives.”

 No lights on the switchboard, so Veitchy’s producer switched to an advertisement. Then wondered about ringing some stooges up to waffle and keep the lines looking busy. Still no talkback lights. “ I’ll play a song, ” he told Veitchy through the earpiece. A long one, maybe Iron Butterfly or Lou Reed, then a ring came through his headset, followed by  a message to Veitchy through the earpiece.

 “ It’s Mr Rothschild. He wants a word.”

  “ Hi Mr Rothschild, how’s the weather over there ? ”

 “ Listen you cunt, we don’t pay you to be a Mr nice guy  peace and love freak. You are here to make people angry, to make trouble, to make people depressed. You are to scramble their brains, to think about sport 24-7 and nothing else. Haven’t you studied the New World Order ? ”

 “ No sir, I don’t read much. I just watch sport or talk about it as much as I can.”

 “ That’s good, in a way, ” continued Mr Rothschild. “ Everyone should be like you. Television and watching sport is perfect for our divide and rule policy. It wrecks families, stops them communicating and teaches them to hate each other. Get the picture ? ”

 “ Yes Mr Rothschild.”

 “ Now go back to work and find someone to put shit on. Muslims, terrorism, anything to fill the masses with fear.”

 

 

THE RAPE AXE

December 4

 “ The Rape-aXe is a latex sheath embedded with shafts of sharp, inward-facing barbs that would be worn by a woman in her vagina like a female condom. If an attacker were to attempt vaginal rape, his penis would enter the latex sheath and be snagged by the barbs, causing the attacker excruciating pain during withdrawal and giving the victim time to escape. The condom would remain attached to the attacker's body when he withdrew and could only be removed surgically, which would alert hospital staff and police. Like most condoms, Rape-aXe also usually prevents pregnancy and the transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted infections.

Rape-aXe was unveiled on August 31, 2005 in South Africa. Although media coverage at the time implied that mass production was due to begin in April 2007, the device has never been marketed to the public and it remains unclear whether the product will ever be available for purchase.”

How fascinating. With other possibilities------revenge on a cheating husband----an anal adaptation for males going to prison…..

WHY   " PROTECT "   BRENDON McCULLUM ?

December 3

From the recent media:

‘  NZC chairman Stuart Heal said his priority was ensuring McCullum was not attacked for his involvement in the Cairns case and to protect him if he was.

"Brendon is an employee of ours, so we've got a duty of care around him that makes sure he's in a safe working  environment and free of harassment and all that humiliation stuff," Mr Heal said.

"I hope it doesn't come to that, but of course we will support Brendon. As I say, he's our current captain and an employee of New Zealand Cricket." ’

For a start, there was never much chance of Chris Cairns being found guilty. As I explained to Vijay Varma and Ms Pooja Kumar on Humm Fm’s weekly Astrology Report  recently, there was nothing drastic for Cairnsy until 2 Uranus negatives in 2017, with an awesome Neptune-Mars assisting him right through 2015 until early January next year if he were born  after 7 am on June 13, 1970.

Different story with McCullum, though following the phenomenal prophesy from the November 2014 Annuals:

“ McCullum, Brendon:

Career chaos when Uranus whacks Jupiter in April, November, January 016 . Pluto-Jupiter attack 2016 will supervise even bigger changes. ”

Which incorporated his choke in the late March World Cup final, and last month’s  whitewash in Australia. During which month I wondered how the Uranus-Jupiter complication might be affecting McCullum  as he got keel-hauled  through the mosquito-infested swamp of the Cairns perjury trial. With McCullum not exactly being a valuable asset in the near future, after his latest appearance in the Annual Prophesies on www.donmurrayastrologer.com, November 26, 2015:

“ McCullum, Brendon:

Massive and difficult career changes from Pluto-Jupiter attack until Oct 017. Feb, May, Dec 016 particularly difficult.”

Not fantastic for his coach either:

“ Hesson, Mike:

Black Caps  coach hampered by anti-North Node action from Saturn and Neptune. March,  July, Aug, Sept and Jan 017 crucial. ”

 

LOSING OUR INNOCENCE---THE  6^th ANNIVERSARY

December 2

There was a time when the NZ HERALD was so reliable and trustworthy. A.k.a " Granny Herald " and so extremely boring.

 You hardly ever saw a christian name. During my time as a racing journo there ( 1973-77 ) the very famous Skelton jockey brothers were not  “ Bill, Bob, Frank, Erroll or Max”.  They were  " the Skelton brothers, W.D, R.J, F.H, E.B and M.J "

 Terry McLean was a renowned writer of books on rugby and All Blacks tours, but in the Herald it was  "  By T P McLean. "  He was christened " Terrence " and  NZ Herald law would have allowed " By Terrence McLean " if  he were commonly  known as " Terrence." But he was " Terry "   Because Donald Colin Murray was christened as such but known as " Don, " I had to settle for By D C Murray as well. The racing editor was christened  "Allan Brown " and he was known as " Allan " so he was allowed to write as  “ By Allan Brown.”

 40 years back the Herald was full of ambitious " lifers. "  Those aiming to fulfil 40 years of Herald life to earn a gold watch and lots of retirement money. Some were rewarded with a weekly “ my column.” A devout Christian wrote weekly about " Life and Faith " there was  another one on wine, and also bridge. ( a card game )

 Extreme drinking habits were very common amongst the old-timers and often a deterrent to eager young cadets considering their longevity. But as cadets we were drilled in the rudiments of  " good journalism, " angles and both sides of the story, with the benchmark for being punctual and methodical exemplified in the major scoop the NZ HERALD missed:

 " At 10.21 p.m. on Christmas Eve 1953 the Wellington–Auckland night express plunged into the flooded Whangaehu River at Tangiwai, 10 km west of Waiōuru in the central North Island. Of the 285 passengers and crew on board, 151 died in New Zealand’s worst railway accident. "

 Missed because a junior reporter snuck home early from a boring night’s work and failed to make the final round of calls to police stations for any breaking news. Instant dismissal, but  not for the guys who didn’t report the biggest scandal  in journalism that happened almost 56 years later ! On the Herald’s  very own doorstep !

 Friday, December 4, 2009 had most Herald staffers  at the office’s nearby, long-standing watering hole, the Shakespeare Tavern, for christmas celebrations. A staff photographer was leaving the office when he noticed a  “ human interest “ shot over the road----celebrity, later-knighted broadcaster- HERALD columnist Paul Holmes in deep discussion with 2 shady-looking characters. Flash goes the camera, Holmes starts running and the innocent snapper gets worked over by 2 shady-looking characters. Police called, photographer to hospital………………………with NZ HERALD editor Tim Murphy and HERALD ON SUNDAY equivalent Shayne Currie seen in deep discussion at the crime scene soon after, along with many others.

 Paul Holmes ruled NZ broadcasting with his 7 pm TV One show HOLMES running for 15 years from 1989 and was also  receiving $1800 weekly for his H O S column. One of my favourite Astrological characters, with a very tight Venus-Mars problem to exemplify his restlessness and workaholicism, and also problems in his constant search for sexual happiness. Holmo  was also a  serious abuser of substance, and during his era I seemed to know a lot of people with amazing stories about the dark side of Holmo, the drugs and the depravities.

 The end of Holmo’s  first marriage was Astrologically and  publicly predicted, as was his departure from TV One’s  HOLMES, and also the Pluto-Moon emotional and residential destruction of 2008 for the broadcasting icon when his adoptive daughter continued her serious P addiction and became engaged to a gang member !

 As an almost " national treasure, " Holmo received extreme media protection and nothing really came of the December 4 incident, other than the photographer getting paid off to not press charges and the CCTV footage destroyed. I was shown the layout of the crime scene  by a  personal friend of the photographer. Another media person claimed that one of the bashers was a gang member screwing and providing product for his P-addict former fiancée of 3 years.

 Mentally-ill blogger Failoil Slater also reported the drama, accentuating the opinion that Holmes was purchasing drugs off  gang members. With senior NZ HERALD reporter David Fisher getting ambushed into claiming to me  that  “ there’s something on your website about it that isn’t true.”

 Fisher  wouldn’t elaborate on " it " and I laughed my head off. Long gone are the days when you could trust  reliable old " Granny Herald. "  With most of the acknowledged “ news providers “ merely following suit as the once-locally owneds  get swallowed up by American-Jewish money. Thank " Donald " we’ve got the internet.
