Default Astrology Predicted Russian Takeover of USSR in 1969!

You can't make these things up:

I think that this may be a badly garbled reference to the Russian invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 after the Prague Spring... but, of course, the USSR was the old Russian Empire from 1917 onwards.

I happened to be looking at a page about the star Alkaid ( القائد ) because of a Google search in which I was looking for the relationship between the word "alcaide", derived from القائد meaning "commandant", and the name of the terrorist organization al-Qaeda, القاعدة .

Yes, Alkaid and al-Qa'eda are derived from the same Semitic root.
That's part of the beauty of the Semitic languages. al-A'qid means
"colonel." in modern Arabic, as in the late al-A'qid Mu'ammar
Abu-Minyar al-Qathafi. The "Q" is pronounced like a "G" in some
dialects, and the "th," which has the same sound as the "th" in "there"
in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), is pronounced like a "Z" in some
dialects.

What in hell are you trying to type that leads to that jumbled mess?
Arabic?

It looks like normal arabic to me.The symbols in your post are different to
those I saw in the original.

Thanks. Me, too--after I switched to a different newsreader. Also shows
properly on the Web in Google Groups.
