Happy 132th Birthday to Richard James "Two-Gun" Hart/James "Jimmy" Vincenzo Capone
132 years ago on March 28, 1892, James was born in Angri, Province of Salerno, Italy. When he was three-years-old he, his mom, his dad, and 17 months old brother Raffaele (Ralph) came to America on the Werra in June 1895.
As a child, he loved playing the violin. At sixteen-years-old, he, Ralph, and Frank took part in a fight with some Irish kids. James threw a kid through a window and thought he killed the boy (no thanks to Al who told James he did- the troublemaker). Ashamed and scared of what would happen to him, James ran away and joined a traveling circus that happened to be in town. He changed his name to Richard James Hart, taking the last name of his favorite silent film star and idol, William S. Hart.
He served in WWI, serving in France, and earned a commission as a lieutenant. After, he settled in Homer, Nebraska and became a Prohibition agent. He earned the nickname "Two-Gun" because of his sharp-shooting skills he earned in the circus. He watched what his siblings were up to through the paper. In 1945 he rejoined his family when he fell on hard times.
He married Kathleen Winch in 1919, and had four boys, Richard, William, Sherman, and Harry Hart. He died in Homer, Nebraska at the age of 60 in 1952 from a heart attack.

The real reason for wars is the fight for resources, always, no matter how much religion plays a culprit role. The Taurus Scorpio axis correlates to shared resources, energy, finances, values, and land property. In this Lunar Eclipse, it's obvious that the argument (Mars conjunct Mercury in Scorpio) takes fanatical religious positions (☍Jupiter in Taurus) to justify a dispute over land (Taurus) and the refusal to share it and its resources.
The opposition Mercury Jupiter correlates to unrealistic perception of reality, misleading beliefs, delusional disputes (Mars opposite Jupiter)with hidden motives (Scorpio Sun).
The Aries Libra Lunar Nodes energy represents the confrontation between what one wants and the need to compromise. Because none of the parties wants to concede anything, the war is unavoidable.
Keep in mind that the Middle East War is not just a regional issue, but involves other big players.
