Here, on this closet approach of the moon imputing it's maximum force we hear of the start of another war.
Why choose this date?
For the Same reason bush chose it to start his war. Esoteric power. Even if you don't believe, the powers that rule this world do.
March 19th is the birth date of Minerva, or Athena... goddess of war.
They are beginning another huge mega ritual of sacrifice.
Stemming from an Italic moon goddess *Meneswā 'She who measures', the Etruscans adopted the inherited Old Latin name, *Menerwā, thereby calling her Menrva. Extrapolating from her Roman nature, it is assumed that in Etruscan mythology, Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, war, art, schools and commerce. She was the Etruscan counterpart to Greek Athena

The Romans celebrated her festival from March 19 to March 23 during the day which is called, in the neuter plural, Quinquatria, the fifth after the Ides of March, the nineteenth, an artisans' holiday.
Minerva was worshipped on the Capitoline Hill

She still is worshiped on capital hill.

I think there may actually be something to this... The shadow government sure does seems to have an affinity for symbolism and ritual. What I'm wondering though, is why?

The Goddess of a thousand works
I was too busy rebutting bad sources and enjoying my revels in the past week to pay homage to the feast of Minerva. It was held on the fifth day after the ides and honestly who knows when the F that is anymore. Technically, we're not at 5 days post-ides yet. But onto the Goddess known as Minerva.
There is little known about the Italic Goddess, Meneswā 'She who measures' as per wiki. There is nothing on the intertubes about her nor have I found any references to her in a book, so I'm not sure where this information came from. Here's the full wiki passage:
"Her name is indigenous to Italy and might even be of Etruscan origin, stemming from an Italic moon goddess *Meneswā 'She who measures', the Etruscans adopted the inherited Old Latin name, *Menerwā, thereby calling her Menrva. This has been disputed, however.Carl Becker noted that her name appears to contain the PIE root *men-, which he notes was linked in Greek primarily to memory words (cf. Greek "mnestis"/μνῆστις 'memory, remembrance, recollection'), but which more generally referred to 'mind' in most Indo-European languages... Menrva was part of a holy triad with Tinia and Uni, later reflected in the Roman Capitoline Triad of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva."
She is said to have been worshiped throughout Italy, with her war aspect/association used in Rome proper. War-like Romans? Shocked, I am. Ha. "She who measures" certainly sounds like a Moon Goddess to me. I prefer this notion to the one that she was born from the head of her father. Riiight. Wisdom is a Maiden born from the head of a man. Patriarchalization much? (I just love using that word)
She measures, remembers, heals (time heals all wounds?), wields lightning and is wisdom personified. Waining moon aspect? Quadruple Goddess? Dark, waxing, full and waining? Hekate, Diana, Juno, Meneswa?
Add another to the list to interview using the tarot! Who wants to join me in this exercise? We'll agree on questions, read separately and compare notes.

Pluralist conception of power
Pluralist conception of power
Pluralists emphasize that power is not a physical entity that individuals either have or do not have, but flows from a variety of different sources. Rather, people are powerful because they control various resources. Resources are assets that can be used to force others to do what one wants. Politicians become powerful because they command resources that people want or fear or respect. The list of possibilities is virtually endless: legal authority, money, prestige, skill, knowledge, charisma, legitimacy, free time, experience, celebrity, and public support.
Excerpt:
Definition and scope
Religious pluralism, to paraphrase the title of a recent academic work, goes beyond mere toleration. Chris Beneke, in Beyond Toleration: The Religious Origins of American Pluralism, explains the difference between religious tolerance and religious pluralism by pointing to the situation in the late 18th century United States. By the 1730s, in most colonies religious minorities had obtained what contemporaries called religious toleration:[2] "The policy of toleration relieved religious minorities of some physical punishments and some financial burdens, but it did not make them free from the indignities of prejudice and exclusion. Nor did it make them equal. Those 'tolerated' could still be barred from civil offices, military positions, and university posts."[2] In short, religious toleration is only the absence of religious persecution, and does not necessarily preclude religious discrimination. However, in the following decades something extraordinary happened in the Thirteen Colonies, at least if one views the events from "a late eighteenth-century perspective."[3] Gradually the colonial governments expanded the policy of religious toleration, but then, between the 1760s and the 1780s, they replaced it with "something that is usually called religious liberty."[2] Mark Silka, in "Defining Religious Pluralism in America: A Regional Analysis", states that Religious pluralism "enables a country made up of people of different faiths to exist without sectarian warfare or the persecution of religious minorities. Understood differently in different times and places, it is a cultural construct that embodies some shared conception of how a country's various religious communities relate to each other and to the larger nation whole."

Excerpt:
Talk about divine intervention for a team that's gone 15-1 since the All-Star break and enter Thursday's matchup with the Dallas Mavericks with a one-game lead for second place in the Western Conference. The topics of conversation centered on that Lakers' recent success, but also included other areas of interest. Cipriani, who played on the Peruvian national team from 1961 to 1967, said he shared his story, expressed pleasure about the Lakers' play to Kupchak, told Bryant that his competitiveness set a good example and asked Gasol how he's adjusted to life in the United States and the possibility that he could face his brother, Marc of the Memphis Grizzlies, in the playoffs. Cipriani also left open the possibility that he'd attend the Lakers' game at Staples Center on Feb. 10 against Oklahoma City.
"That's not common at all," said Bryant, who described the visit as "pretty cool." "We have people come in and want to watch [practice], but that was the first time in my 15 years that that's happened."
This also concluded a personal journey of some sorts for Gomez, who had previously served as the archbishop of San Antonio from 2004 to 2010. With his move also came a change of allegiances from a team that's currently on a four-game losing streak and holding only a three-game lead in the Western Conference to a team hoping to take their place, a true sign to him that divine intervention has taken place .
"A lot of people are praying and were telling me to switch from the Spurs to the Lakers," Gomez said. "Prayers work. Now I'm a Lakers fan. I'm also praying for the Spurs but a sign from God is that the Lakers are playing much better."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dualism
Excerpt:
Dualism (from the Latin word duo meaning "two") denotes a state of two parts. The term 'dualism' was originally coined to denote co-eternal binary opposition, a meaning that is preserved in metaphysical and philosophical duality discourse but has been diluted in general or common usages. Dualism can refer to moral dualism, (e.g. the conflict between good and evil), mind-body or mind-matter dualism (e.g. Cartesian Dualism) or physical dualism (e.g. the Chinese Yin and Yang).

Media Reports on the Project
- US plans for post-Saddam Iraqi government, Eli J. Lake, The Washington Times, June 5, 2002.
- "The principal vehicle for organizing the planning for a new Iraqi government will be a series of meetings in the coming months and a conference this summer in Europe comprised of about 50 to 60 Iraqis and 10 to 20 international experts on Iraq. According to a State Department summary of the plans for this conference titled, Future of Iraq Project, the U.S. government will sponsor smaller meetings in either London or Washington for five working groups on the following issues: public health and humanitarian needs; water, agriculture and the environment; public finance and accounts; transitional justice; and public outreach. ...
- "The initial momentum for these working groups stemmed from a conference at the Middle East Institute [at Columbia University] last fall that brought together several former Iraqi military officers to discuss the future of Iraq's military. Initially the State Department had wanted MEI to organize the conference, but the contract was cancelled after members of the Bush administration took offense to remarks from the institute's executive director, Edward Walker, critical of the President's Middle East policy.
- "The Future of Iraq project will also likely spawn more committees to deal with issues central to a post-Saddam government in Baghdad. Under the heading of potential working groups, the summary of the project includes such issues as oil and energy, education, foreign and national security policy, and defense institutions and policy."
