Mars within thirty degrees of the lunar node, a scientific basis for explaining the Mars effect on climate and the resulting effect of rocket attacks against Israel. This document was uploaded to The Black Vault, a public‑domain archive of declassified material, and is notable for its claim of a statistical correlation between an astronomical alignment and the intensity of rocket fire from Gaza into Israel. The document was released to the public through The Black Vault’s online collection, entry dated in the archive as “Mars within 30 degrees of the lunar node.” The declassification authority is listed as the archive’s curator, and the full text is available at archive dot org slash download slash mars‑within‑30‑degrees‑of‑the‑lunar‑node slash Mars_within_30_degrees_of_the_lunar_node_djvu.txt. The document begins with the author’s own statement: “Mars within thirty degrees of the lunar node, a scientific basis.” By Anthony of Boston. “Back in two thousand nineteen, using rocket launch data going back to two thousand five, I discovered that Israel’s enemies were carrying out attacks in such a way that it was easy to predict when they would decide to increase the intensity of those attacks. By observing when Mars would be within thirty degrees of the lunar node within a calendar year, I was able to find a strong correlation between the escalation of rocket fire from Gaza into Israel relative to the rest of the year.” The author continues, “It was discovered that since two thousand five, Gaza militants would fire their highest intensity of rocket fire when Mars would be within thirty degrees of the lunar node.” The text then provides a historical basis for the so‑called Mars Effect. “The Mars Effect, first introduced by French researcher Michel Gauquelin in nineteen fifty‑five, is a thesis that provides statistical evidence supporting a connection between the position of the planet Mars and the eminence of sports champions. Gauquelin divided the chart into twelve sectors and, in his research of astrological charts for thousands of elite athletes, discovered that Mars was positioned in the key sectors called the rising sector and the culminating sector with greater than chance probability. The base rate for a planet to appear in two out of twelve sectors, based on chance, was one in seven hundred ninety‑six. In Gauquelin’s extensive data samples, Mars appeared with a frequency of two thousand two hundred ninety‑six, which is more than coincidence and thus—putting aside all other possible meanings—means that Mars must have some effect.” The author cites Professor Suitbert Ertel’s work in the nineteen‑eighties, noting that “the greater the number of citations, the greater the eminence,” and that Ertel’s analysis “found that the Mars effect played a stronger role among athletes with higher citation counts, confirming Gauquelin’s hypothesis.” After outlining the astrological research, the author links the planetary influence to a religious numerology. He writes, “I embarked upon solving the riddle of the number of the beast, six hundred sixty‑six, and came up with Mars three‑sixty, the revolution of Mars around the Sun. Using English Sumerian gematria, A equals six, B equals twelve, C equals eighteen, and so on, I added up the letters of Mars and got three hundred six. Adding three hundred sixty to three hundred six yields six hundred sixty‑six, tying Satan to Mars influence.”
