25 March 2024

Journalist Abed Alqadr Sabbah reports on the deaths of 10 men today off the shore of Jabaliya, when an American airdrop caused aid to fall into the churning sea. Exhausted by starvation and disease and overcome by the harsh surf, 10 men drowned to death trying to feed their families. Instagram user delsawy85 provides a full English translation:

We are now near the Jabalya waterfront area.

This area witnessed a number of aid airdrops. But the awkward thing is that these air drops were actually dropped into the sea... the people had to swim in to get the aid and some of them drowned! Around 10 people drowned! So, imagine that you actually have to die to get your food!

And this is literally what happened... people died to get their food! This doesn't make any sense!

We've addressed this point before, multiple times , that the air dropped aids is not a logical way of getting aid in nor is it reasonable! Getting aid in by land in a respectful and safe way! Two days back a number of aid (trucks) got in via land in a respectable manner and reached a lot of people specially to the northern area! But the IOF and the counties who are keen on spreading chaos who insist on deliberately humiliating people who're getting the aids! It's deliberate humiliation in the way the aids are being delivered! So we wish that there is a more respectful way to get the aids in to the people, so as people don't have to die to get a box of aid!

Seward’s Day

Seward’s Day, which falls on the last Monday in March and takes place on March 25 this year, is named for then-Secretary of State William H. Seward, who was responsible for the purchase in the first place. This legal holiday (in Alaska) commemorates the day the Alaska Purchase treaty was signed. This day shouldn’t be confused with National Alaska Day, however, which marks the formal transfer of control of Alaska from Russia to the U.S.

HISTORY OF SEWARD’S DAY

A long long time ago — around the 18th century — Alaska was owned by the Russians. Then came the Crimean War. Fought for the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land (a part of the Ottoman Empire), Russia fought against the alliance of France, the Ottoman Empire, the United Kingdom, and Sardinia, and lost. Reeling from this, Russian Tsar Alexander II started exploring options to raise money for the country. He turned his gaze towards Alaska. Not only had the sea otter population vastly declined, but Alaska would also prove to be very difficult to defend in the event of a future war. Especially since the British forces were based out of neighboring Canada.

The Russians discussed this plan and were all for selling to the U.S. by 1857, in the hopes that their presence would deter the British from any attacks. Negotiations began; however, the American Civil War took precedence at this time and any plans for buying Alaska were put on hold. Following the Union win, Tsar Alexander asked for another round of negotiations. The U.S. Secretary of State William Seward negotiated with Russian Minister Eduard de Stoeckl. They agreed to a treaty on March 30, 1867, which was ratified by the U.S. Senate. At the time, they paid $7.2 million, or about two cents per acre.

They called this place ‘Alaska,’ changing it from the Russian name, ‘Аляска’ (or ‘Alyaska’). Most Russian citizens went home, barring a few — traders and priests, mostly — who chose to remain. They would eventually leave Alaska too, as records indicate.

The reactions to this purchase were largely positive, with people believing the added possession would create a base to expand trade in Asia. Seward’s political opponents coined the phrase ‘Seward’s Folly’ or ‘Seward’s Icebox,’ referring to Alaska as ‘useless land’’ Alaska would remain sparsely populated until the Klondike Gold Rush of 1896 when the region came to be seen as a truly valuable addition to U.S. territory. Today, Alaska stands as the U.S.’s 49th largest territory and is a booming tourist spot.

SEWARD’S DAY TIMELINE

1741

The European Discovery Of Alaska

A Russian expedition led by Danish explorer Vitus Bering — and including German Zoologist and explorer George Steller — sights Alaska; the land is already inhabited and has been since around 10,000 B.C., as per historical records.

1867

Re-negotiations

Russia enters into re-negotiations with the U.S. to sell Alaska; they approached America with this plan before the Civil War too.

1867

The Treaty Is Signed

William Seward and Russian Minister Eduard de Stoeckl agree on a treaty for the purchase of Alaska, which is signed at 04:00 on March 30.

1867

The Transfer

Alaska's ownership transfers from Russia to the U.S.; the Russian flag is lowered and the U.S. flag takes its place as American soldiers parade in front of the governor's house.

1959

We Have A State

Originally called the 'Department of Alaska,' the name changes to 'District of Alaska' (1884), then the 'Alaska Territory' (1912), before being admitted as a state in the U.S.; it gains the name 'State of Alaska'.

Learn more about the transferDid you know more than 150 years on, some Russians still have second thoughts about the sale? Find out more facts like these by digging into documents and articles centering on Alaska's transfer.

5 FACTS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT JOHN SEWARD

He was an abolitionist: Seward was a dedicated opponent to slavery and was a prominent member of the Republican Party in its formative years.

A house with a secret: Seward's home in Auburn, New York, formed part of the Underground Railroad and was apparently a well-regarded stop; the kitchen was one of its most popular stops, quoted an 1891 article in the “Auburn Herald.”

The unseen fruits of his efforts: Seward did not live to see his efforts to purchase Alaska turn very profitable; he died in 1872 before his foresight was commemorated as a legal holiday.

His efforts led to many memorials: These are found in Alaska and all over the U.S. — Seward Park in Seattle, Washington, the City of Seward in Alaska, and a figure of Seward in Ketchikan, Alaska.

He was almost assassinated: He was one of the targets of the 1865 assassination that killed Lincoln; he sustained grievous injuries, which took a long time to heal.

WHY SEWARD’S DAY IS IMPORTANT

We love Alaska: There’s the land, the weather, even the moose. Who doesn't love this place?

It was the best bargain ever! Sure, it might not have seemed like it at the time to some people. However, Seward knew a good deal when he heard one.

It's all about tenacity: Russians exhibited this tendency by coming back to the U.S. with their deal, and Seward stayed steadfast during the purchase, despite the detractors. The purchase, and Alaska's sheer magnificence, show us determination (and patience) does, indeed, reap rewards and influence change.

The Week Ahead: March 25-31, 2024

Lunar Phases

Monday, March 25, 07:00 UT - Full Moon/Eclipse, 5°07’ Libra

The key phrases for the Full lunar phase are “culminate, fulfill, illumine, manifest;” and “pour all our energy and efforts into our intention.” I am wondering if this mightn’t be a stealth eclipse, since Libra isn’t comfortable with direct action. Pay attention!

Friday, March 29, 08:33 UT - Disseminating Moon, 24°08’ Scorpio

The key phrases for the Disseminating lunar phase are “teach, share, communicate;” and “ease up on efforts with our intentions.” More stealth? We sense there are things going on behind the scenes, and/or that all hasn’t been what it seemed.

Void of Course Moon

Tuesday, March 26, 23:09 UT (Libra) - Wednesday, March 27, 09:03 UT (Scorpio)

Friday, March 29, 15:40 UT (Scorpio) - 19:52 UT (Sagittarius)

Monday, April 1, 00:16 UT (Sagittarius) - 04:05 UT (Capricorn)

Retrograde/Direct/Etc.

Pre-retrograde shadow: Mercury/Aries, Ceres/Capricorn, Pallas Athene/Sagittarius (until Friday the 29th), Saturn/Pisces

Retrograde: Pallas Athene/Sagittarius (starting Friday the 29th), Juno/Virgo

Post-retrograde shadow: Vesta/Gemini-Cancer

Transiting Mercury enters its Storm on Thursday the 28th. It’s moving very slowly - to the point where it might just as well be retrograde already, instead of April 1.

Transiting Pallas Athene stations retrograde on Friday, March 29, 14:18 UT, at 8°36’ Sagittarius. Time to come up with different creative solutions to our problems.

Ingress

Sunday, March 31, 10:56 UT - transiting Vesta enters Cancer

Still in her post-retrograde shadow. We revisit issues from last September-December with more enlightened focus.

Et Cetera

There is one Opportunity Period this week: Friday, March 29, 01:46 UT - 15:40 UT. “Good for romance and deep emotional experiences, but we’re between two eclipses and Mercury is slow, so keep it flexible.”

I am kind of glad I have this week off, as the astrology lately is very wearing. We remain in the shadow of the eclipse until Thursday, April 11. Mercury is in its pre-retrograde shadow, stations retrograde on April Fools’ Day (grrr), and doesn’t exit its retrograde zone until May 13. We “just” have to tread water and survive until the 11th at the earliest.

Pac: Fitch...?

I'm still thinking about Pac seeing a beautiful ray of light in the cave he was exploring yesterday and immediately calling Fit's name. 🫠

...Meanwhile, Fit is currently trapped alone in a dark cave on Vacuus Island. The constant light / shadow symbolism these two keep encountering is driving me INSANE.
