1st Quarter 2021 Wrap Up—Take Action 2021, Part II: Solari Circles—Take Action Together

27 Comments

1. Interested to participate in or to help start a Solari circle in the Western Loudoun County Va area. Where to begin? Is there a way to get in touch with other subscribers in the Purcellville / Round Hill / Lovettsville area?

2. When you said, “…survive the drop out,” I laughed out loud. My first experience of this was in college. The subject was differential equations. The professor was an adjunct with a master’s degree and he was a short man with a heavy French accent. He was in his 60-70s, thin white hair, and dark-framed glasses – like a character in a book. Class starts and he’s a bear. Let’s say he has string boundaries. If you crossed one, you knew it. People dropped like flies. Each class we lost 1-3 people. I think we started the semester with around 30 people. At the end of drop/add we had 9. The class following the close of the drop/add period, he opened class with a devilish smile and announced that we were the “survivors” and now we could have fun! He was delightful for the rest of the semester. We all took his second semester class and had a blast and he wound up being one of my favorite professors.

   1. My favorite professor at Wharton did something similar…screamed that he was going to flunk everyone – pour on hours of extra reading. He was so great, best he could do was get it down to seating capacity.

3. Hi Catherine !

   I’ve traveled to see Rev Danny Jones. Gonna listen to him in about 40 minutes .. I’m here for my own personal situation cause he’s one of the few people i know I can talk to about my unique strange life. I just met him and gave him the Solari.com site . Might be a good spot for a circle ! He wrote down the site .

   He just did a sermon on agents of change , which compelled me to let him know about the circles !

   I gotta go but I’ll follow up soon .

4. Hi, Catherine:

   Are there any active Solari Circles in SE Florida, preferably in the West Palm Beach area?

5. When I click on https://takeaction2021.solari.com/ I need to login again and then it doesn’t recognize my email. This happens on many links on the site. I’m already logged in so shouldn’t need to do so again. I’m eager to start a Solari Circle in my community.

   1. Caprice:

      I had our team check. There was a feed issue from the store on your account. Should work now.

      Catherine

6. I was so inspired by The War Room, I created one myself! My son will be so happy that the kitchen table is clear of Bible and many other stacked books.
   I am in Love with the concept!

7. I can’t wait for you to launch Solari Circles. We desperately need to start financing civilization 2.0 up here in Canada! It feels like Canada is front of the line for NWO.

   1. Working on it~!

   2. In British Columbia, an old mentor of mine started a cooperative farm with five friends, its now up to 12 members. They each put in a thousand dollars and their labor and its growing food like gangbusters. I hate to sound like a Nike commercial, but just do it.

8. Have you heard of the Quantum Financial System? If so, have you addressed it? And lastly, where is your info on this located on the web page? Everything else has opened in WV except the banks here where I live. Is that true other places? Is there a reason for this?
   Blessings,
   Carol

   1. Have it on my list to look at QFS. Have not done so because much more important to track the Going Direct Reset.

9. Re: associates

   Before the Internet and online surveillance, there was offline surveillance. Depending on local infrastructure, both tracks can now be integrated. As with classic techniques, “associates” are always of interest, if only to determine requirements for introducing “guest” associates into any network.

   Any process for moving from Circle 1 to 2 to N is partially a process of simulations and stress tests for graduating candidates into an inner circle of trust. The more value that can be created by a given circle of organic contributors, the greater the budget for external parties to inject inorganic “contributors” into a given network. It’s worth learning basic techniques that can be customized to local, offline, network threats and defense.

   – (1964 book) Games People Play, by Eric Berne
   – (1984 book) The Evolution of Cooperation, by Robert Axelrod
   – (1997 TV) La Femme Nikita
   – (2001 film) Antitrust
   – (2007 TV) Burn Notice
   – (2009 book) The City and the City, by China Meiville
   – (2013 TV) The Americans
   – (2014 documentary) 1971

   With practice, the inorganic can be detected relatively quickly.

   It’s also useful to understand the terminology of “social network analysis” (SNA), based on decades of mathematics and sociology which preceded the internet. This has since been applied to online communities and offline (e.g. Palantir).

   1. Rich,

      You got me smiling over here. I read “Games People Play” by Eric Berne. It was highly recommended by my mentor John Bradshaw, the world reknown psychotherapist, the guy that did the “inner child” work, him. I miss him, God rest his soul.

      Anyway, I also have a copy of “The Evolution of Cooperation” by Robert Axelrod, but I have yet to read it. Now that you mentioned it, I think I will start.

      I never saw La Femme Nikita, AntiTrust, The Americans or 1971 but I will now.

      Burn Notice was my favorite show and I will look for The City and the City.

      How I learned to sus out agent provocateurs is from reading “The COINTELPRO Papers” by Native American attorney Ward Churchill. Basically, if members of your group start offering ideas that don’t feel right and can cause problems. You want to start isolating those guys and put them to do stuff that will provide no amount of intel and get them so fed up they want to leave the group, like peeling potatoes everyday?

      For me, its been easy. I put it out there to anyone in central Texas that I am looking to start a cooperative farm, but as soon as they hear it costs money and their own labor, I never hear from them again, while I have been unsuccessful in starting the farm as a result, the good news is, it got rid of the chaff, now I am just looking for the wheat to show up. The real deal, the serious people. The ones ready to put their money where their mouth is. In the meantime, I grow lots of food in my own backyard, this past Mothers Day was like Thanksgiving at my house, we had cabbage, cauliflower, cilantro, snap peas, basil, bell peppers all being harvested. I made like three different meals with it in celebration of Mothers Day and I still have more to harvest soon. Tomatoes are starting to get huge, still more cabbage to harvest, more basil to harvest, more peppers to harvest. I love it when people say, “oh no thats too much work”…alrighty then.

10. One last thing Catherine. You mentioned your servers, if you are using Linux servers, I am open to volunteering some time to review them to see if they are hardened, optimized and secure. This is probably futile, I am sure you have a good team on it and if they are doing what I used to do for customers back at Linode, you should be good.

    1. It’s funny – I had the exact same thought. I was probably one of those customers as I have used Linode for nearly a decade.

       1. Nice! One thing I can say as a former Linodian is they definitely care about their customers and pride themselves in great service. As a Linode customer you will never experience anything like what Parler experienced where they will just shut down your servers because they don’t like your politics. Chris Akers stays away from politics and Linode is not a publicly traded corporation and never will be. Akers does not like the idea of being beholden to Wall Street investors or any other shareholder. Its his company, he built it from scratch in a town nobody knows about near Atlantic City, New Jersey.

    2. Hi Louis,
       I am looking for a Linux IT person to help with my laptop!
       I live in Vermont and can not find anyone to help. A few leads that flopped. I even contacted a local place that teaches, outsources, Linux training. They were unable to refer me to someone.
       If you can offer assistance of suggestions on the East Coast Please let me know.I have been known and am willing to road trip for someone I can trust.
       I will be Leading Solari Vermont Circle. I want to get my laptop secure
       HP Envy x360
       Blessings,
       Heather

       1. Hi Heather,

          Call me Daniel. So it sounds like you have a Linux desktop, good call. Are you experiencing problems with it or are you just looking for something more secure? What distro or distribution of Linux do you have on your laptop?

11. Catherine,

    I laughed when you said communicate by carrier pigeon. Here is the rub. I hear people who say “little old me I don’t know anything about texting or email”, but then if you say, you know how to use a passenger pigeon? No, they don’t know that either. Here is the thing, you can have 500 Silver Eagle coins to use as an alternative currency, but if you don’t have any skills to where you can produce something to sell or sell a service, you are going to run out of those silver coins real quick, because you can betcha bottom dollar a corporation is not going to pay you in gold and silver coins no matter how much value the USD is losing, no matter how bad things get, corporations will always be afraid of the IRS, there will be no point where they will say, oh screw this, I am going to pay my employees in gold coins, its all going to pot anyway…as someone who has family that lived in Venezuela during the collapse of the bolivar, don’t count on it, its not coming. So, if you don’t have any skills to offer except how to punch a clock and sit in front of a computer for 8 hours, you need to go get a skill. Farming skills would be good, welding, home building or heck soap making, if you live near me I will happily buy your soap.

12. Hi Catherine,

    I find it interesting that you mention that Solari Circles are financial circles, I proposed financing our own cooperative farm at the one and only Circle I was able to organize and it fell on deaf ears. I had several landowners at the ready to offer up a portion of their land. I felt so bad about having bothered those landowners that I tried to offer one of the landowners up to another Circle nearby, never heard back from that either. It was an opportunity to build community and to offer my skills as a former farmer to others for free as we all worked to build a farm and have fun growing food together and laughing at the idea of having to wear a mask or take an injection to buy produce, but as usual, Americans don’t honor farming skills and how crucial it is about to become in the near future. That’s unfortunate. That plus the fact that Utah, Colorado, Arizona are about to experience droughts. Americans are about to suffer big time in the coming years, like Denzel Washingtons Book of Eli suffering and when it happens, remember, it could have been avoided.

    1. Luis. You are so correct about learning new skills. I live in a small town where services are quite limited and we are experiencing an acute labor shortage in nearly every area. Our only appliance repair service has essentially shut their doors and does not do home service repair (due to COVID). They direct people to online technical service tutorials and free coaching over the phone. Essentially the same for auto repair where we wait sometimes for weeks to get an appointment. It is amazing the DIY resources now available on Youtube as we increasingly are being forced to become our own repair and maintenance service center continuing to build our skill sets and self reliance. And, at the same time, as you state above, build networks with people who have different skill sets to exchange services, tools, supplies, and knowledge. Interestingly, smaller towns across America continue to offer this and, tight knit networks exist in religious communities still. I am fortunate to have both. On Wed. evening of this week, a swarm of 17 teenagers, their moms, and a couple of dads showed up at my house and in an hour and a half, had helped me clean vegetable box beds, laid new weed control tarp, finished laying bark for weed control, and dug out an old fence post in cement, poured and set a new fence post. We had root beer floats and a lovely lemon tart for dessert. All came masked (per our local town ordinance) and the teenagers learned some new things about vegetable bed gardening, and how to set a fence post. I sent home one mother with some peppermint and new raspberry starts for her garden. Each month, directed by several dedicated moms and dads, this youth group targets a service project helping those in our network and others they have identified in need. I am also learning carpentry skills so I can rebuild and repair my own cedar fence. My neighbor across the alleyway is a carpenter and we exchange goods and services. He loaned me a miter saw (taught me how to use it) and tips for framing fence panels, chuckling at this 60 year old who is learning a new skill and very is supportive. Its a great effort and you are so right about the need to think and do differently moving forward. I enjoyed your post and call to action!!!

13. Hi Catherine,

    I recently relistened to your inspiring 2019 discussion with Jon Rappoport on DaVinci. Synchronistically, I came across James Gurney discussing art education (and self-education in general) on the podcast Draftsmen. https://youtu.be/5xkn7VWdKZ8

    He is a tremendously successful painter who learned as he went in the style of DaVinci. Eventually, he turns down Disney to do what he loves and has a successful YouTube channel showing how to paint. I think a discussion between you and Gurney would be fascinating. I have only given brief overview and the episode linked above provides more background.

    Best,

    1. Will check out. Thanks.

14. I want to say thank you for the reminders that we are more than just physical beings. I forget from time to time about the power of energy work, Prayer, intention, and thought. I get caught up in the drama, like everyone else. This month’s episodes aligned with things that are happening in my life. Coincidence? Maybe if I believed in that sort of thing. I like to think of it as providence instead.
    Thank you and everyone at Solari.

    1. Prayer and intention have great power.
