1. After reading all the stories over the last several months about NSA’s spying, I think this very recent story, about NSA’s bugging and data copying at the India’s DC embassy and India’s offices at the UN, is one of the ones that bothers me the most. Really?? India?? All our American companies have call centers there, staffed with people who are often at the other end of the line of impatient, angry people. India sends over to the US terrific techies to work at our techie companies. The Indian people are the kindest, nicest people to work with. They work hard. They speak cute English. Still a huge part of their country is dirt poor, yet they have the kindest spirits. They gave us Ghandi, Bollywood and Slumdog Millionaire. This NSA story makes me feel very sad.

2. Hi Catherine,
   Thank you for providing excellent reports on financial, political and economic matters.

   I have a question: how safe are Series I ibonds as an investment right now? Is this a dangerous place to put money with the coming bail ins?

   Thank you,

3. I just heard your discussion with Franklin, about Amazon as one of the only sources of used books online. There is another great one: ABE books. It used to be Advanced Book Exchange, I think. It has listings from booksellers around the world and lists millions of books. I have no financial interest in them but have bought many books from ABE. Many small local shops list on ABE. It’s http://www.ABEbooks.com. Thanks, I love your programs.

4. Too late for Franklin’s discussion so maybe you and Chuck Gibson will touch on inflation expectations for early 2013 during the qtrly review.

   I see some fiduciaries prep for higher inflation, personal portfolios may be different.

   It’s a joy to know some photos are by Solari artists.

5. Hi Catherine,

   You mentioned the Solari Summit and wanting to gather ideas from subscribers.

   IHave you all thought about an interview with Ellen Brown of webofdeceitblog.com?

   Her blog post/article on Syria was most enlightening in the wake of our current situation.
