“Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience—to appreciate the fact that life is complex.”
~ M. Scott Peck

By Catherine Austin Fitts

This week, we continue the publication of our 1st Quarter 2023 Wrap Up. Dr. Joseph P. Farrell joins me for Part II of News Trends & Stories.

In Part II, Dr. Farrell and I go through the six components of Solari’s Building Wealth framework, summarized below, with Dr. Farrell contributing a number of fascinating “info-truffles.” Our aim is to translate the macroeconomic events we reviewed in Part I into actions you can take in your daily lives and work.

Part #1 – Your Free and Inspired Life: Building a free and inspired life is about aligning your investments of intention, time, and resources with your vision and purpose.
Part #2 – Navigation Tools: With discernment, you can find the intelligence you need for your personal strategic and financial planning.
Part #3 – Risk Management: In a high-friction environment, risk management is an essential investment for building personal and family wealth.
Part #4 – Living Equity: The people around you, your health and education, and philanthropy are phenomenal places to invest your time and resources.
Part #5 – Financial Equity: Use your understanding of how to build living equity to build financial equity—they are two sides of the same coin.
Part #6 – Turtle Forth: Move forward steadily, taking action and refusing to quit.

In Part II, Dr. Farrell and I also go over our perennial list of unanswered questions—a list that keeps getting longer! Fortunately, the list of heroes providing inspiration also continues to grow, and we describe some of the great people doing great things in the 1st Quarter.

After publishing the two parts of News Trends & Stories, we will continue with our theme: The Future of Financial Freedom with Richard Werner. This includes Richard’s excellent memo on “Why a Sovereign State Bank is Good for Tennessee.” We will then publish my Equity Overview for the 1st Quarter in early May.

Recognizing that each person’s circumstances are unique, we hope our News Trends & Stories discussion will help you determine the actions you can take and the tactics that are right for you.

Money & Markets

In Money & Markets this week, John Titus and I will cover the latest events and continue to discuss the financial and geopolitical trends we are tracking in 2023—and the growing pushback against corruption. Post questions at the Money & Markets commentary here.

  1. sending compassion to mr global allows us to keep our hearts open and nurture our love. Thank you Catherine and Joseph for your wrap ups. God bless you both.

  2. Awesome about faking the second coming. Yes! See the Mormons at Palmyra. And the Disney version, the Apotheosis of Mickey. Anti-Christ will certainly be called Christ in the media. And make great footage. C.S. Lewis yes, and also, Sergei Prokofieff has a whole book on it. I am reading it slowly and just copied the chapter on the Opposition to send you. He is not coming in the flesh, done that, coming on the clouds. That means etheric realm. Much more like St. Paul before Damascus. And mostly individually, or in small gatherings. And then we won’t need the churches as intermediaries. We will see Him ourselves. No one can take that experience away from me. So no wonder the Vatican is in the opposition along with Mammon.
    Great discussion, thanks to both of you.

    1. We don’t believe that Christ appearing to Joseph Smith was the second coming. When the second coming happens, everyone will know.

  3. Dear Catherine, great discussion as always. On mr. global going after religion and whatever is sacred, nothing new. All totalitarian powers throughout history have first and foremost gone against religions and houses of worship everywhere totalitarian control has manifested itself. Cause if you kneel down to God, you won’t kneel down to them.

  4. Re: hollow moon spaceships, see Moonfall (2022) from the director of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow. China funded $40M of the $140M movie budget. It was made during Covid lockdowns without access to real world, so it’s heavy on special effects and artificial sets.

  5. Regarding the question of the second coming, Rudolf Steiner makes it quite clear in his Anthroposophy (Spiritual Science) that the physical appearance of Christ on Earth (i.e. the incarnation into a physical human body on Earth) occurred only once, two thousand years ago in Palestine, and will not recur. Rather, the reappearance of Christ would take place in the spiritual realm, the so-called “reappearance of Christ in the etheric”. The “etheric” refers to the spiritual realm closest to our physical Earth. This is indicated in the New Testament as “Christ in the clouds” (apologies for the clumsy paraphrase – the correct quote is not occurring to me).

    It is therefore, in my humble opinion, a waste of time sitting around waiting for a new physical incarnation of Christ, as it ain’t going to happen. In fact His reappearance has already taken place in the etheric realm, actually in the 1930’s so we are told. It would be more productive to focus our energies on the requisite spiritual development with the aim of advancing to the point where we could begin to perceive the etheric Christ and commune with Him (what this “spiritual development” entails would be another discussion).

    I am in agreement with Joseph when he says that he does not subscribe to any of the standard millennial teachings/beliefs, I think he is saying because they are too materialistic. It would be interesting to compare what C.S. Lewis has to say about the subject, which Joseph points our attention to. .

    1. It all depends on if you have more faith in Rudolf Steiner or Luke, chapter 12, vs 45 & 46.

  6. What a great conversation. Many new things to investigate such as solar wind and Russia’s decapitation strategy, many people to learn about such as Ingo Swann and Charles Fort, and also many intriguing questions to ponder such as ‘Where are creativity and consciousness located?’ and ‘Is the body in the soul?’

    I love the story about Catherine inventing ideas for Jack Kemp (time 1.32.00). It reminded me of an incident Benjamin Franklin related in his Autobiography:

    “In order of time, I should have mentioned before, that having, in 1742, invented an open stove for the better warming of rooms, and at the same time saving fuel, as the fresh air admitted was warmed in entering, I made a present of the model to Mr. Robert Grace, one of my early friends, who, having an iron-furnace, found the casting of the plates for these stoves a profitable thing, as they were growing in demand. To promote that demand, I wrote and published a pamphlet, entitled “An Account of the new-invented Pennsylvania Fireplaces…” etc. This pamphlet had a good effect. Gov’r. Thomas was so pleas’d with the construction of this stove, as described in it, that he offered to give me a patent for the sole vending of them for a term of years; but I declin’d it from a principle which has ever weighed with me on such occasions, viz., That, as we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously.

    An ironmonger in London however, assuming a good deal of my pamphlet, and working it up into his own, and making some small changes in the machine, which rather hurt its operation, got a patent for it there, and made, as I was told, a little fortune by it. And this is not the only instance of patents taken out for my inventions by others, tho’ not always with the same success, which I never contested, as having no desire of profiting by patents myself, and hating disputes. The use of these fireplaces in very many houses, both of this and the neighbouring colonies, has been, and is, a great saving of wood to the inhabitants.”

    The spirit of Ben Franklin is alive and well.

  7. My friend & I were coming home today. A person pulled out in front of us completely in our way & turned to give my friend hail Colombia for being there! Her wrong turned into my friend’s wrong when she was completely in the wrong for pulling out right in front of her. We could have been rear-ended from her actions! Just bonkers

    1. we will have to navigate more irrational behavior. Prayer covering called for!

  8. Hello again. A note regarding living wealth et al … In Canada, the warehousing of the elderly was part of a deliberate strategy to not only cull the elderly, but destroy family wealth by taking any and all financial assets to pay for the nursing home.

    In several provinces, legislation was introduced to allow the government to go back seven years to access family assets. This prevented mom and/or dad from transferring the family home or assets prior to entering care in an effort to avoid having the asset seized by the government.

    This process alone has transferred vast amounts of wealth out of families, and into the big medicine cartels.

    1. Found the phrase i was looking for …. the nursing home system was created to “siphon intergenerational wealth”, and thus reduce tue size and resilience of the middle class.

  9. Delightful chat thus far. I’m at the imagination discussion and thought you would enjoy an aboriginal concept relating to thinking and ideas … “To think is to listen to the cosmos”.

    Back to listening. ?

    1. First, if i shouldn’t comment so much, go ahead and tell me. I’m new, and totally cool with a quick smack lol.

      Second, on creating community currency, might i offer a couple of suggestions for those communities that might feel they need to start with things that are less complicated or threatening.

      1.) Barter bank. Attached is a link to an old, analog barter bank model in a place i lived thirty years ago. Very basic, and there are apps, and websites now that help get them started.

      https://lionhrt.tripod.com/barter.html

      2.) In lieu of a full fledged bank or currency, start mini projects such as peer to peer lending groups. I really got into this idea after encountering the book Saris on Scooters about women lead micro and peer lending in India.

      3.) Local REITs that focus on keeping land ownership local and that supports small farms and business. Goes nicely with item 2.

      I’ve been slowly tinkering with these ideas here on PEI.

      Creating a REIT is most pressing here as our island is well into an intentional takeover via land acquisitions by an Asian mega corporation.

      1. Sorry. Me again. Advice on how to turtle forth.

        First, ask someone who has been through Hell and survived with sanity intact. Chances are, they have excellent strategies and advice.

        I am one of those people, and what i learned is very simple.

        Be you. Be here. And be happy, because happiness is a choice.

        https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrWc4CxCHxiJ4Nw2wAL9CF-LxKO-V-zR8

        You’d be amazed what the human spirit can endure. ???

        1. Yikes, me again. Loved Joseph bringing up the front porch.

          During my stint with the UN, i learned that removing front porches was an intentional design decision done to separate families in neighbourhoods by moving from the front where they could connect, to the backyard, where they were isolated.

          The front porch was crucial to community cohesion because they kept neighbours connected. The old women sat out front and saw who was sick, who needed food, whose kids were getting in trouble.

          It was also a meeting place.

          And it was intentionally removed.

  10. Is this the L. Ron Hubbard novel/movie that was mentioned by CAF/JPF? It has a brief mention of “intergalactic bankers”.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(novel)

    https://archive.nytimes.com/thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/04/30/romney-favors-hubbard-novel/

    When asked his favorite novel in an interview shown yesterday on the Fox News Channel, Mitt Romney pointed to “Battlefield Earth,” a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. That book was turned into a film by John Travolta, a Scientologist.

    The film was poorly reviewed, https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/10-remarkable-things-about-battlefield-earth/

    1. It was poorly rated on Rotten Tomatoes as well, 3% splat from critics and 12% audience rating. I have it on VHS and sincerely tried to watch it. I love Sci-Fi, but this was just too weird and incoherent to watch. It also stars Forest Whitaker, who played King Zuri in “Black Panther”, the Major in “Arrival”, Idi Amin in “The Last King of Scotland”, and the broadcast assistant to Robin Wms character in “Good Morning, Vietnam”. With a powerhouse actor like this and Travolta, you’d think the movie would be better, but it’s not. They can only do so much with the script and the storyline. I might try it again tonight, but I’ve learned over time that L. Ron Hubbard’s books / movies on The Apocalypse, End of Time, and Alien Invasion /Takeover are just too over the top and far-fetched for the general public and the geeks, so I don’t expect much.

      1. Even bad literature/movies can be used to illustrate and distribute metaphors for truth that is otherwise censored or controlled. The challenge is finding a decoder ring.

  11. Around 1hr 58 min Joseph mentions his publisher, David Hatcher Childress, and David’s book “Extraterrestrial Archeology” that is still in print (revised edition). Does not surprise me that he is Joseph’s publisher. Subject matter goes hand in hand. I recognized his name right off the bat because I am a mild fan of the TV series “Ancient Aliens”, and Childress was / is a major player in that, 2nd only to the guy with the wild hair, Giorgio Tsoukalos. I do miss the show, now in its 18th year, since I cancelled my cable TV 4 years ago due to otherwise sorry programming, intermittent internet service in the mornings when I most needed to check my work e-mails before hitting the road on my travel job, and poor customer service from that Xf company. My 2 TVs (analog tube type) are only used for VHS and DVD movies and series and books on CD that I have purchased or have borrowed from my public library, of which early seasons of “Ancient Aliens” is one of those selections. I control what I watch rather than have some corporate mogul decide for me the selections to be available or mindlessly turning on the tube to see what’s on. ?‍♂️

  12. Oh Catherine, how I needed to hear the words “turtle forth”. I have tears streaming down my face. For we physicians who have refused to buy into the non science nonsense of the last 3 years witnessing this plandemic nightmare unfold has been heartbreaking. We took an oath to first do no harm. We strive to SAVE patients. And the government institutions I once TRUSTED are purposefully causing needless death and suffering. I will NEVER trust the government again. I love my country. I hate my government. I will continue to turtle forth.

  13. Around 1:40 ya’ll mention 3 fairly well known groups and add to the mix other big players.This may seem obvious but the diverse groups, headed by definitive psychopaths seems to cement a theory I have heard throughout Solari, GIZA, Titus and sometimes Daniel Liszt. The fighting among themselves for a “Don” position is very well the reason they can’t get this all co-ordinated, much less implemented as their plan would suggest I guess we can count on hubris to help us somehow.
    Is it just me or does anyone else think actions by the FED, IMF and other central banks/players I cannot think of are compartmentalizing the takeover on a smaller scale to be absorbed globally later. This avenue has surely been bandied about by others brighter than me. Do you think this scope works to our advantage or disadvantage in the fight? This is leaving the satellite problems so often touched on here and the possibility of a widening, very dangerous escalation in “The” Ukraine, maybe elsewhere, out of this post for brevity ?. Powell knows what these policies will do. Inflating the average American into humongous problems while consolidating the banking system into a dangerous behemoth seems nefarious at the least. This all may be rehashing older stuff. Does any of this make sense and apply at this point in time, given what has gone down recently? I have not watched the M&M discussion yet in case I missed something that applies there. I just got carried away on length. Does this make sense? Anything? I’m not sensitive. ?

    1. No, I don’t think “They” are compartmentalizing anything. Each of the ‘worker bees’ or ‘Borg units’ are doing their little part that adds to each step towards ‘The Final Goal’. As for the rest of your conversation, I have no clue what you are trying to get at. So, in answer to your 2nd question, no, it makes no sense to me.

  14. 2:46 , Dr. Farrell observes that people have no time for small talk.

    I would attribute it to people being addicted to their lives on the internet, either via their phones or their computers. people get engineered dopamine fixes from their devices (they’re digital drug addicts) which makes them feel irritated when someone tries to talk to them directly, and they’ve forgotten how to talk to other people in real life, even so far as to prefer typing text messages rather than speaking in real time via a phone call.

    I carry my phone with me most of the time, but the mobile networking is turned off, only turning it on 3 or 4 times a day to check for messages; i.e., I control my phone, not vice versa. … and I try to phone people rather than text them when possible.

    1. When lockdowns first were announced and everyone was supposed to stay home “to slow the spread” people were different. People were kind and talking to each other in lines. Even commenting about the absurd 6 feet apart tape marks. But they were talking. I remember several lines I stood in where collectively people let the elderly bypass the line to go first. At the park, families were together in the middle of the day and greeting strangers. It reminded me of hurricane prep in Fl. People were united and kind. It was kind of beautiful. And the moment it all changed was the masks. After that people didn’t speak to one another. Heck, they barely looked at one another unless you dared to not cover your face. The same people who were joking in line days before started to ignore, shun, and ridicule others. I suspect the masks began because too many people were still connecting.

  15. Catherine,
    You mentioned about the vaccines having to contribute to an increase in car accidents…that may be so. However, my neighborhood watch meeting gave me an interesting perspective here in my area of Colorado. The cop said they have 10 cops a month quitting with few applying and don’t have the man power to enforce road laws like they used and he says so the bad drivers stay on the roads now and this is why he s seeing so many car accidents. I just thought this was interesting.

    1. Wow! Yes, so much truth in what you said. In 30 plus years driving in Houston, Texas I have seen such reckless, insane drivers. However, in the last couple of years it has gone to a whole new level of recklessness. You take your life in your hands each time you drive; no where near enough traffic cops to enforce traffic laws and removing the lunatics from the roads/ highways. It can be terrifying.
