Goodnight, Aileen.

Inspired by Nick Broomfield’s film “Aileen: The Life And Death Of A Serial Killer”, I couldn’t help but wonder what I might find if I calculated a birth chart for “America’s first female serial killer”.  Nick does a wonderful job of showing the human being behind the notoriety.  So much so, that you find yourself wishing that you had known Aileen back when she still might have been saved by kindness and a helping hand.  If you have empathy in you, you can’t help feeling that a few good friends and true support might have made a difference. Would there have been any hope for the lives lost at her hand or the fragments of a life that she was left to work with when her dignity and expectation of a future were beaten and tortured out of her starting in infancy?  I truly did not know what I would find when I began my research..

Aileen Wuornos was born on February 29, 1956.(Sun sign: Pisces, ruling planet: Neptune, element: water, quality: mutable. Moon sign: Libra, ruling planet: Venus, element: air, quality: cardinal) This date being the only extra day in a leap year, Aileen only had a true birthday every four years. I really don’t know what effect this has on a person’s chart and life as a whole. It is something that I will research and possibly write about in a future post. 

The first thing that one notices about this birth date is the qualities of the influencing Sun and Moon.  Pisces is a sign that immediately calls to mind a character of caring and emotion.  Then Libra would tell you that this person possesses much love and the need for balance.  On the face of it- that is.  Anyone who knows a Libra can tell you that they can be a huge pain in expressing their love and their balance.  Without going any further into the chart, I would have, off the top of my head, said that the bulk of Aileen’s difficulties were a direct result of the present life actions of those who were charged with her care when she entered this world.  Certainly abandonment by both parents and extreme abuse by those who received her into their care are at the forefront of what Aileen grew up to be.  There are some particularly difficult aspects in her chart that make her more rebellious than many abused children, though, and her having the moon in Libra I find particularly disturbing.  The reason for this is a first- hand knowledge of how Libra can go to monumental extremes in trying to regain their equilibrium when their scales have been tipped.  Upset the balance in a Libra and get ready for the fireworks!  There is likely to be screaming, swearing, tantrums on the floor (if they are young), bullying, threats of suicide and any other behavior that they can think of to put their world back into balance.  And it need not make sense to anyone else why they are so upset.  They are Libra, and they just are.  Of course, not all Libras are so demonstrative in their angst but when coupled with an emotion driven sun sign like Pisces, the pain and confusion of being thrown off balance and being treated with a total disregard for their gentle and loving nature can produce a ticking time bomb ready to explode when these feelings are aroused again at an age when the intimidation of being a child no longer exists. 

When you consider that Aileen was trading sexual favors for money as young as age nine, one wonders how this kind of behavior manifested so early on.  I can assure you that I was not thinking about anything even remotely related to oral sex that young.  My world was watching cartoons. playing with toys, seeing friends after school, and listening to music.  I realize that this type of information would not be so far from the reach of a nine year old today, but I can tell you for a fact that a child in the years prior to the information age was safely cocooned in a world of GI Joe and My Little Pony.  This kind of knowledge prior to that had to be learned at the hand of an abuser.

Finding herself pregnant at age 13 put an end to Aileen having a home.  Once her child was born and given up for adoption Aileen was kicked out of her grandfather’s house. It is interesting that the state of Michigan did not intervene on her behalf. Child welfare laws did exist in the 1960’s. But somehow Aileen’s situation went unnoticed by the state and the school system.   She began living in an abandoned car in the woods in the dead of a Michigan winter.  I have lived in Michigan in winter time and how she survived this I cannot imagine.  She apparently began her career as a full time prostitute after this, leaving Michigan sometime after to manage that career in a warmer climate.

Though no one can be sure what effect an understanding of Aileen’s personal needs based on what the universe supplied her with at birth would have had, I will make an attempt at conjecture and base it on the most basic needs of Pisces.  People born in Pisces tend to have a dreamy character with an interest in fantasy and fairy tales, love and romance.  They are wonderful when they feel loved and needed.  They can nurture and care for others when the object of their affection might appear to others to be of the lowest dregs of society.  Pisces can find good in them, usually, and will care for their friend, lover, child, whatever, for as long as they feel they are needed. I will venture a guess here and say that if Aileen had found a supportive friend or husband when she was young, who had a character able to balance her need to be protected from her abusers and to feel cared for, she might have managed to lift her soul to a level where her best characteristics could come out of hiding.  She most likely would have been a devoted wife and a nurturing mother if she had children.  I say most likely because it would probably take a lot of love and a spouse/partner with a deep understanding of what she went through as a child.  These kind of people do exist but the luck of Sagittarius would probably have to be on Aileen’s side to have found a gem like this.   Artistic ability is also found in Aileen’s chart.  It is possible that she could have become a free-lance artist.  A sample of her art is shown in Nick Broomfield’s film and it is quite beautiful.  Pisces is a sign, in Aileen’s case for sure, that needs freedom of expression in learning and in setting their own style.  It is doubtful that she would have aspired to a professional or technical career.  The desire to learn in a formal setting such as college does not reside in her chart.   Her balance would have been found in the care of  loved ones, home and family.  Aileen once speculated that if she had not gotten into trouble she might have become a missionary.  This possible vocation actually exists in her chart.  Caring for others is there, prominently.

 At the onset of her violence, Aileen was involved in a relationship with a woman whom she seemed to love very much.  It appears that she felt responsible for the care of her lover and when they were at a point when they were unable to pay the rent and take care of their basic needs the downward spiral for Aileen began.  There is evidence that her first victim was a convicted sex offender.  God only knows what might have transpired during that business transaction, but the need to survive and care for the person that she loved at this particular time, coupled with who knows what she encountered in the company of a known offender set off Aileen’s descent into what eventually ended her life and the lives of 7 men.   I will not defend anything that Aileen did from this moment on.  The decision to take a life is a conscious one made by the individual and not in the birth chart by any means.  I would only acknowledge that the law recognizes the right of people to defend themselves in a life or death situation.  Aileen did plead self defense in court, but I am not here to speculate on the validity of that.  One thing that I would venture speculation on is the fact that under pressure from her lover’s distress over being harassed by police, Aileen decided to plead guilty to the charges against her.  This is so very Pisces.  The need to protect her lover outweighed the extreme situation that Aileen, herself, was in.   That decision sealed her fate.  The belief that she did not have truly effective legal counsel also paved her road to the death penalty.  Whether or not this is the correct remedy for her actions I will leave to you, the reader, but it is a fact that a person who reacts to life’s issues with the ultimate violence cannot be allowed to live freely.

If I were in the position of calculating a chart for Aileen before she crossed the line and set off on a path of no return, I don’t know that there would be any truly helpful advice for her. The reading would have to have taken place when she was so young that her ability to understand and make use of the information likely would not have existed.  Life is difficult to change without deep conviction that you want to, and a constant source of support, for many people. This is especially so when your environment in the critical childhood years  lacks a foundation to build upon. Since Aileen didn’t have that in any sense of the word, if I were to read her chart for her as an adult, anything that I told her would most likely have been met with a reaction something like, “Huh, that’s interesting.” and discarded the minute that she walked out the door, unless she had a friend that she could laughingly relate it to later.

Truly, many people do not get an ounce of  actual support in their lives, and somehow they still manage to live with as much dignity and self respect as they can muster.  As for Aileen, I don’t believe that she would ever have thought to seek out support from anyone.  If that doesn’t exist in your frame of reference somewhere already, you most likely will not see it as an option and wouldn’t believe that you could get it if you tried.  Revisiting her past would have been a nightmare and likely not in her ability to cope with.  Thank god that a life like Aileen’s is the exception and not the norm.  Her title as “The first female serial killer in America.” speaks volumes about what must have gone in to creating such an anomaly. 

If one believes in an afterlife, one can only hope that the afterlife has been kinder to  Aileen Wuornos than her life on planet earth was.  All life starts out with hope for the best that one can be.  If it is not respected and cared for, we can never be sure that this type of tragedy will not be repeated.

NOTE: I cannot say that my source materials are utterly infallible (as no one whom studies astrology can) but I can say that I base my final assessments on the premise that those I profile show the characteristics necessary for me to stand by what I have said based upon my checked and triple checked research. While it is impossible for me to know the time of birth of the people I am profiling, I stand by the accuracy of the information to which I am privy.

Life for real, not fade away.

The minute that you are born you start collecting data.  Depending on the data you are collecting it can help and support you or it can harm and weaken you.  (In my next post I will be profiling a life that never had a chance no matter what the universe put into place for her.) You have no control over what is fed to you by parents, siblings, or anyone else that you came in contact with early on,  so by the time you are in your teens you have about a 50-50 chance of still having a sense of the real you.  If you arrive at age 13 with a good self-esteem and a sense of what may be acceptable for your recently established character you just might make it through your teens without falling into too many pitfalls.  Many teenagers do not take up smoking, drinking, promiscuity, drugs or antisocial behavior.  I wasn’t one of them and neither were any of my close contemporaries.  I always wondered how some kids made smart decisions and good choices for themselves at such a young age.  Some played sports and excelled, some were in band or orchestra. When opportunities of that sort were offered at school I didn’t even consider that I had a snowball’s chance in hell of being able to participate because in our house if you did anything that was going to cost money you had better be able to make a firm case for yourself as to why you were worth the financial risk and had better make damn sure that you didn’t fail because money was so scarce that there was no margin for error allowed in the use of it.  So I would not have even dared try anything that required it.  If I did and changed my mind about wanting it or about my ability to do it there would be hell to pay, and you didn’t upset my Libra dad if you wanted to live.

If I excelled at anything in my teens it was skipping school, defying authority, and finding a boyfriend. I was also very good at shoplifting.  Very little else mattered to me except for music.  I did know a lot about that but only as a listener and an avid collector of it.  I thought that I would probably get married and live a great bohemian lifestyle with a guy who was just as cool as I was but my expectations didn’t really go any higher than that.

In my early 20’s I found that things were not exactly as cool as I thought they would be.  Cool, but not that cool.  Still, even with my life not so well-balanced as I expected it would be, I didn’t see anyone else who seemed to be doing much better unless they had enough money to buy themselves a life style that suggested otherwise.  I had long since lost track of the kids who were achievers in school early on and had parents, school support and a circle of other people who would make sure that they didn’t fail.  What is interesting is that I do not know of any of the kids that I grew up with who have had any success in a media recognized way.  No politicians, no actors, no musicians.   I guess the town I grew up in didn’t breed any real success stories but I am sure that the kids who had a sense of self and self worth early on probably own the town by now.

It wasn’t long after I began to look around and realize that I didn’t really have a clue where I was going in life except for the places I was required to go by virtue of being an adult (sort of), that a friend told me that she had been to see a psychic.  That was something that I had always wanted to do but didn’t really know where to find one.  I had heard that there was a man in the town where I grew up that gave psychic readings but I was much too intimidated by him to actually go and I didn’t have the money to do it either. Now, I had the money and was less intimidated so I made an appointment right away. 

The psychic told me a lot of fascinating things and I loved the experience.  Wow.  Here is someone who knows what is going to happen to me. And they were good things too. How is that possible?  It turned out that it wasn’t possible for many years.  I fully expected to see some of these good things come into my life at any moment.  They didn’t.  It was many years later before any of the things she told me ever manifested in my life.  It was disappointing but I was not deterred.  I just went to other psychics and knew that I was going to get to that better life sometime.
It was during this time that I discovered astrology.   It was a good thing that I knew it to be the right thing for me at the onset because my particular path was not going to be a smooth one.  I discovered as I got deeper into it that I had much to learn to get to my real self and I would need a lot of patience and determination  or I would well and truly find myself in the depths of hell the likes of which I would never get out of.  In my case, the  past was a stern instructor, but if I hadn’t found out at a fairly early age where I was going, I don’t know that I would have made it to my thirties without committing suicide.

I do readings for people myself, now, and I have never done a psychic reading or an astrology reading for anyone who has had the load of karma to balance and the hellacious mountains to climb that were laying in my birth chart, but I cannot imagine ever learning the valuable things that I have in any other way.    One piece of trivia regarding the first psychic that I went to; I learned many years later that she was Billy Bob Thornton’s mother.

It is usually only the people who don’t see their answers in their surroundings early on that will seek them out in either an excess show of strength or a deviation from what their peers view as “normal”. The answers just don’t seem to lie in a cookie cutter existence.  What you need isn’t found in what others are doing.  Some people do find comfort in following the crowd.  If you do, you are probably reading the wrong blog.  If you don’t, your answers may lie in your past.   You can backtrack and discover the person that you were meant to be.  It may be through counseling.  It may be through religion.  But in either of these categories you will find that a trip back to the past is going to be your first step.  Religion will tell you that you must be “born again”.  Psychology will take you back to your childhood to try to discern where you got off the path.  And astrology will take you back to what you arrived here with as inborn traits and the needs of the soul.  To reformat your life you might consider one of these methods to balance yourself.  Whichever one you choose, I hope that you meet your goal to be the absolute best that you can be.  If you find that you’d like to work with astrology or spiritual development in the mystic arts, journey with me here, again, back to the past.  You have a standing invitation.  

I beg to differ, Jim.

“I don’t know how many of you people believe in astrology.  I am a Sagittarius. The most philosophical of all the signs.  But anyway, I don’t believe in it.  I think it’s a bunch of bullshit.”

Many people never learn the importance of getting a true sense of self and self worth.  They want something that delivers a fast and easy feeling of comfort and fun, but in truth all they are really getting is a delusion of worth.  With a few more toys and distractions handed to us as necessities of life, the need for a solid center in our soul may disappear with the current generation.  If you have enough selfies and social network friends to keep you occupied and delusional about your reality, you may be fine for the moment, but I look at the people around me and I cannot see anyone who is really happy.  Ego and narcissism are running rampant and I do not see an end to it.  Unless some unexpected disaster or tragedy befalls us we will do nothing to turn the tide of a culture lost in hell.  Is it safe for you to walk down the street alone in your town?  When was the last time you had a good relationship with someone where you felt listened to, understood, and loved?  You may think that these things have lost their relevance, but if you still want to feel human and truly alive you will have to reach back in to the past to find a future.

It was by accident that I discovered astrology many years ago.  My sister had a book called “Sun Signs”,  by Astrologer, Linda Goodman, sitting on a shelf in her house collecting dust.  I knew nothing about the subject except what my “sign” was.  After reading only a few pages in the section about my own sign I was hooked.  I saw myself in so much of what was written there and I felt like someone was finally giving me permission to be me because I was entitled to be. That pivotal moment in time changed my life forever and set me on a path that was paved with extreme highs and extreme lows but also with immense satisfaction in finding that I was what I was for a reason.

As a devout ‘hooked on astrology’ person, I have made it a life study but you do not need to adopt a scholarly interest in the subject to benefit from it’s wisdom.  A scholarly interest in yourself and a few good reference books will work wonders for your self confidence and peace of mind in living with yourself and others in a very cold and complicated world.

I could not recommend a better book  to start you on the path to self knowledge than the first one that I picked up by Linda Goodman.  “Sun Signs” takes you to the heart of what it means to be an Aquarius or a Virgo or a Libra.  It tells you how to recognize people born under each of the 12 signs of the zodiac, and what both genders are like in each division.  You will find yourself reading about everyone that you know and discovering an “ah ha!” moment in every chapter.  Getting to a genuine sense of your own personal reality with astrology will take you beyond the pages of this book, but it sets the framework for a higher sense of what you have within you to find inner peace with yourself like no other book I have ever read. It is available through many internet booksellers and possibly at your local public library.

Once you understand that there is an underlying reason and intelligence behind what you are like and why you are like that, astrology can open up a whole new world for you. The things that people tend to tease you about and use to mock and demean you with are many times fully explainable as things that are unique to your birth sign and not character flaws but issues that challenge you to seek balance in your life. You are not what others tell you you are. You are what you were born to be and the sum total of what your life circumstance has given you to work with. Some people have to work much harder at balancing what they are told by others and what they really are.  Many times there are past life reasons for a set of circumstances that you find yourself in (working with your past lives will be discussed in future posts) but your ability to balance your world is greatly enhanced if you are operating from a position of strength in a core belief that you are what you were meant to be already, and this faith in yourself can keep you strong and balanced when other people and life upsets would have you fail and fall.

There is a different school of wisdom in the teachings of the Chinese zodiac. This system is also based on 12 signs which are calculated specifically on the year that you were born, beginning with the first day of the Chinese new year each year.  The start date of the zodiac varies from year to year but the beginnings are always in either late January or early February.  Each sign is represented by a creature in the animal kingdom starting with the Rat, which is, similar to Western Astrology which starts with Aries.  The other signs are the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse. the Goat, the Monkey,  the Rooster, the Dog, and the Boar. Character traits for the signs mirror traits like those of the animal representing them.  

“The New Astrology” by Suzanne White, is a wonderful book on the Chinese system that is easy to understand quickly.  It is a book which is a good reference for learning how Eastern and Western astrology can blend and be used to give a very good overview of your character, using both systems in a complementary way.  Suzanne describes all signs in the Chinese and the Western systems.  She has charts for both which make it easy to determine your personal profile and then she combines them in chapters that cover every possible combination  I found this book to be very helpful to me in discovering a more complete picture of a person in a super easy to understand format.

As much as I love this book and have used it as a reference for charting profiles on many people, I will say that Suzanne tends to have a bit of bias toward certain signs, most particularly the Boar.  It is just her personal opinion as the writer and interpreter but it can be annoying to those born under that sign.  Another issue that probably sends serious Chinese astrology followers into fits is her substituting the title Pig for the Boar, and Cat for the Rabbit in these divisions.  She explains her reasons for doing this and I have never found it to be a real hindrance in my studies but it may be an issue for some people who are real sticklers for accuracy.  Her analysis of these signs is accurate enough to understand the picture/profile of those born in that time-frame, though, except for an unflattering opinion of those in the Boar/Pig division.  It is not without it’s personal quirks and biases but it is a good starting point for learning some astrology basics.  The book is available at many online book sellers and probably also at your local public library.

Either of these books are  excellent places to begin your journey into finding your true self and learning to make use of what the Universe has provided you with to make your life better and easier to navigate in tough times and in uncertain times 

The elements of your future can be found in your past.  Take the time to look for them.  You have a standing invitation. 

And I am here for what reason?

Any study of who you are, what you are, and where you are going in this life is going to lead you to your past.  Past lives, (yes, you’ve had them) past loves, past experiences, and most importantly, back to the day you were born. Without a study of the past you will never understand the real meaning of your life.  In this blog I will try to guide you to your true self in your life journey.

Life rarely works out the way we want or expect it to.  Much of the reason this is so stems from not knowing what gifts life sent you here with on the day you were born.  You do not need to be born in to an affluent circumstance to have great advantages, but you must realize that your advantages are just that, yours. They may not lead you to riches or comfort but they will lead you to the best you that you can be. 

People who connect with their life given gifts early on in life are fortunate indeed. That doesn’t happen for most of us.  So for those of us who haven’t already connected with our reason for being naturally, I will start with some basic astrology to help you connect.

As an example of what you can learn through the study of your birth chart. I will use the chart of singer, writer, songwriter Morrissey. (Sun sign: Gemini, Element: air, Ruling Planet: Mercury, Quality: mutable. Moon sign: Sagittarius, Element: fire, Ruling Planet: Jupiter, Quality: mutable.)  Morrissey has a new album coming out tomorrow, so he felt like a good person to start with.  I understand that he has been ill recently, and before I go into an analysis of his chart, I would just like to wish him wellness and a full recovery.

The fact that Morrissey became ill during a concert tour speaks volumes about where he is in life.  At 55, you might attribute his ill health to aging and a hectic lifestyle, but these things would only be a small part of the true issue.  Illness is always your life calling on you to make a change.  Small illnesses, most likely small changes.  Large illnesses, most likely kick-in-the-head changes.  I don’t know what kind of illness Morrissey was suffering from but judging by the length of his hospital stay it most likely was pretty serious.  I had the opportunity to see Morrissey in concert back in May in Memphis.  It was only a few days later that he collapsed.  As a result of him being on my mind, I did an astrology chart on him.  The results of that, I will try to break down and we may see a clearer picture of why life may be calling on him to make a change.

With the sun in Gemini and the moon in Sagittarius, it is no surprise that Morrissey was able to aim high with his Sagittarius arrow and make a fantastic career with his voice.  Mercury ruled Gemini gives him analytical thought and an intelligence that gave him the ability to map out how to reach his goal.  Any problems that he encountered along the way were most likely due to misjudging others.

Having attained his goal, the Gemini reached the top level in his field, but conflicts within his group; The Smiths, necessitated that he strike out on his own after a while to keep his Gemini air flowing. That same Gemini air is most likely what causes Morrissey to choose many, maybe not hopeless, but certainly difficult causes to persuade to the masses.  This keeps him flowing without stagnating when the goal is a lofty one.  Vegetarianism, animal protection and world peace being interests that go up against tough cultural conditioning keep him working at a steady pace.  Having nowhere to go but sideways in his quest for expression, though there is going to be a need for a change in that expression most likely, as a unique point of view can easily become stalled when preached to the already converted.

Two of Morrissey’s songs seem appropriate to analyze here for a look at where his life may be calling out to him for a different kind of expression.  The first is a song called “Ganglord” , which he recorded a few years ago.  The thing that struck me as I watched the companion video to this song was that Morrissey, himself, seemed completely out of place.  I do not doubt his sincerity regarding the point he was trying to illustrate, but the song and the visuals did not connect well, and he seemed an inappropriate spokesperson for the issue.  Certainly he can say whatever he thinks in his songs because he already has an established voice in the media, but what does his image and singing voice really bring to the table in addressing the problem?  I think that Gemini, but mostly the Sagittarius portion of his being are not going to find true satisfaction in not having a thunderous effect on something that truly means something to him.  And thunder at this stage in life would be more likely to come from shouting from a different rooftop and getting the attention of different buyers.  And I say buyers quite literally because the causes of fear, poverty, and hopelessness do not evolve out of the culture through awareness only.  Someone putting their money where their mouth is tends to speak louder in these times.  It is possible that Morrissey may find that his writing gift stands a much greater chance of succeeding in a venue where other successful people are more likely to be listening. 

The second example of how Morrissey might be getting a call to change is in the song, “World Peace Is None Of Your Business”  I have not heard the rest of the songs on this new album but what I took away from this title song is that he focused heavily on musical and percussion impact before reaching the crux of the message, as if he wanted you to be moved more deeply by something that perhaps he wasn’t able to convey in words with this particular issue.  A repeat of the word “fool “ in the song projects an image of him being quite certain that his message was going to fall on a lot of deaf ears, but he didn’t have quite the right words to tell us what might really make a difference.  Having to blend music and poetry to make a world wide point is seemingly pressuring on Morrissey profoundly when he comes across as not sure of himself any more.

But I would not expect there to be a wavering in the convictions in a Gemini heart.  I would therefore presume that the difficulty lies in his Sagittarius moon which needs the fire burning in a different grate.  Fire and air Morrissey is being let know that they can either burn out or blow out at this stage depending on how much oxygen they are receiving together from him. 

If Morrissey has indeed been feeling his innate intuition ( and he has it), he may already realize that a formal commitment to the urging of the universe is pulling on his coat tail.  If he is still procrastinating after having been taken down an illness notch he can be sure that life will not allow him this luxury very long.  This is how it works, friends.  It is rather like the song, “Run On”.  You might run on for a long time but do not expect that you will be cut any slack if what you need to accomplish is coming from the essence of who you really are.  You can play with decisions of what you will have for breakfast but your reasons for showing up on this earth will not be ignored for very long.  This is where you find most of the strife that kicks you hard.  Pay attention.  Life is speaking to you.  And if you don’t know why, you don’t really know who you are.  Find you and find the place of peace.  Inner peace IS your business, but it must be sought out.

I was warned by a fellow Astrologer not to pick on an air sign for this piece because they can’t take it.  But there is a double shot of Scorpio (element: water, ruling planet: Mars, quality: fixed) and a double shot of Cancer (element: water, ruling planet: Moon, quality: cardinal) in Morrissey’s chart that suggests to me that those signs in key places give him more heart, soul, sympathy and empathy than the otherwise blowing in the wind Gemini might seem to have.  Okay, he might also sting like a Scorpion, but for the purpose of showing what makes a life work in a way that can be mapped and molded, you must know what you already have inside of you to succeed.  I think that Morrissey is representative of a person who can keep an evolution of success forever moving if he is paying attention and knows where his possibly, newly felt strengths lie.

In future posts I will be showing you where to get the best information out there on Astrology and doing you own chart.  Take time to find you by going back to your source and to the past.  You have a standing invitation. 

NOTE: I cannot say that my source materials are utterly infallible (as no one whom studies astrology can) but I can say that I base my final assessments on the premise that those I profile show the characteristics necessary for me to stand by what I have said based upon my checked and triple checked research. While it is impossible for me to know the time of birth of the people I am profiling, I stand by the accuracy of the information to which I am privy.
