Fire Ox: Earth Season: 1a

29 Jun ~~ 3 Jly

The birthright is divided. Shares to everyone, but not all sharing. Opponents meet with pure spirits and find their strength equal. No one prevails.
Eruptions. Storms. Coups d'état. Revolts. Crisis. An assault on the Citadel. Power is claimed and used by those who know not their own strength. Things taken by suddenness and not by stealth. A time for bold action. The coming of something new. Revelatory discoveries add to the sum of human knowledge.
The Fulfilment:
July 21: more news added today.
Albania: Streets are calm but the government is in chaos as govt ministers and officers of the military and security forces flee the country, fearing revenge and a lynching when Pres Berisha resigns in the coming weeks. Berisha has tried to assume command of their powers, but no one is obeying his orders or taking him seriously. "Power is claimed and used by those who know not their own strength."
Japan: Oil spill in Tokyo Bay is largest ever in Japan. Too big to fight effectively, government is hoping to keep it from coming ashore at its near end. Crisis.
Hong Kong: Torrential rains spoil the holiday atmosphere and cause mudslides. Some injuries and deaths. As predicted: weather is cool and wet, with floods and erosion.
Israel: Another day of rioting in Hebron, as a continuation of yesterday, and fresh rioting in Gaza over expansion of a kibbutz. Troops use live ammo and at least one Arab is killed. "Crisis."
Mexico: Last day of campaigning before weekend elections. Mayor of Mexico City to be elected for the first time and not appointed.
USA: James Stewart died today, aged 89 -- one of the great actors of this century.
