THE STORMING OF THE BASTILLE
THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!
By (C) Amir Bey, 2025
July 14, 2025
From The Bureau Of Exceptional Events And Unitentional Inceptions That Led To Republican France
The time for the eruptive and consquential storming of the Bastille can be used along with official documents that declared indepence. Forutnately we do have a fairly precise time for the fall of the dreaded prison.
The storming occurred on July 14, 1789, 5:30 PM, Paris, France. This event, a birth in effect, can be representative of a natal Chart for the French Republic and subsequent phases of Modern France. 5:30 PM is when the Bastille’s commandant, the Marquis de Launay surrendered.

GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER
THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!
By (C) Amir Bey, 2025
April 21, 2025
Special Edition From Seeds Buried In Furrows
George Washington Carver was an American legend: agricultural scientist, inventor, and educator who researched and promoted alternative crops to cotton and farming methods to prevent soil depletion in the South. While he has been most recognized for his research on peanuts, and sweet potatoes, it is important to understand that he initially wanted to be a painter.
His date of birth is sketchy. However, in several instances he claimed being told that he was born about 2 weeks before the Civil War ended on April 9, 1865. We can assume that someone who was familiar with his birth told him that date. My opinion is that the 1864 date is not likely if he was indeed born just before the War's end. With that in mind, I studied a chart for March 26, 1865, two weeks before the Civil War ended.

"AS HOT COALS BURNED, THE CALDRON ROILED"

The New Times Holler! , after learning that there was no known birth time for him, looked into his planetary structures, such as his Sun square Pluto, Moon opposite Uranus, and Mars in the 1st House square his Midheaven, Stellium in Gemini, to view of his layers of talent, his unrelenting energies, obsessiveness, and recklessness.

JOHN COLTRANE
INTERSTELLAR SPACE
AND HIS ASTROLOGY MEDITATIONS
THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!
By (c) Amir Bey, 2021, February 22
Musical Notes From The Interstellar Spacial Trane - "The Quickest Way to Nirvana"
JOHN WILLIAM COLTRANE
On February 22, 1967 Interstellar Space was recorded just short of 5 months before Trane's passing. 1966-67 was a period of many visits to the recording studio for him. Hearing Coltrane’s energy through his tenor saxophone and bells, with Ali’s freely moving drums, not only are the planets’ meanings evident: he was also moving through interstellar space. These were meditations on the planets as he explored boundaryless realms.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS: THE BALLOT AND THE BULLET
The North Star UPRISING THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!
By (c) Amir Bey, 2019, February 1
FREDERICK DOUGLASS Freedom Fighter, 1818-1895
Jan. 21, 1863 age 54, Edwin Burke Ives and Reuben L. Andrews, Hillsdale, MI
Frederick Douglass: orator, writer, publisher, militant abolitionist, was one of the most courageous revolutionaries to walk the planet.
There are many dates for events in Douglass’ life that can offer insights and keys to his possible horoscope. Most rectification work – where an horoscope can be approximated when a birth time is unknown - should include events that are not only of a subject’s choosing, but those that are not by choice, such as accidents, deaths, of loved ones, and the subject’s, as well as important transits that might be relevant and accurate, such as the Full Moon that occurred following his escape. Only three events out of many events that have been studied are selected to discuss here: Douglass’ escape from slavery; his first marriage; and his death.

SPIDER MESSAGES
Stitches Spun In Time Can Rhyme by THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!

A SPIDER'S GARDEN OF VERSES, OR: WOVEN MESSAGES
Every living being and phenomena has a code that is a unique signature to be read if a relevant method is applied. This past summer I was taking a walk along a river in the Okabe-Cho area of Central Japan and noticed a series of spider webs on a fence and in the bushes at the river's side. The webs formed thick lines in their centers webs that appeared to be writing, or lines that could be taken for messages.

THE DEMOGRAPHIC PARTY VS THE REPUGNANT PARTY
An Endorsement for the 2018 Midterm Election by THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!
By (c) Amir Bey, 2018, October 20
THE DEMOGRAPHIC PARTY UPSURGE
In these times of conflicting perceptions and actions, there are two directions that the country can follow for the 2018 Midterm Elections. This election is probably more critical than most General Elections have been. There is a lot at stake, which party will control the legislature, which one will be able to appoint more Supreme Court justices, and finally, this election may determine which party will win the White House in 2020.
THE NEW TIMES HOLLER!, a careful observer of trends, has examined the weaknesses and strengths of the two major parties, the Demographics and the Repugance, and has decided to support one over the other. This is the first time that THE HOLLER! has supported one party entirely.
AUGUST WILSON'S KING HEDLEY II
An Analysis by

Russel Hornsby as King Hedley II
|
|
August Wilson's Century Cycle, a series of 10 award-winning and nominated plays for each decade of the 20th Century, are provocative, wrenching, documents of African American
hopes, humor, and hearbreaks. King Hedley II, while not having the recognition of Fences, The Piano Lesson, or Ma Rainey's Black Bottom,
grabbed my attention, or I should say jolted me, as I read the climax on a New York City subway, a public place where I didn't want to be when one of August Wilson's tragic deaths came.

THE MEANING OF SELMA
A Repubished Article
By Romeo A. Cherot, March 9, 1965
The HOLLER! is republishing an article written by Romeo A. Cherot, journalist and editor for Radio Free Europe on March 9, 1965 two days after Selma's "Bloody Sunday."
This is not only a look into the past, but into the present. People's voting rights are still
under siege by those who are threatened by citizens exercising their "Inalienable" rights.
