    1. Catherine:

      Will post the link. Love Scott Adams!

      We had Dr. Hamamoto on last year! Great interview. I had lunch with him in Davis in September.

  2. Hi Catherine,

    I just saw an interesting interview with the founder of a company called Time Well Spent. He is asking the tech industry to bring what he calls ethical design to its products – and warns about how apps are designed to use as much of our time as possible in order to maximize advertisement income. There are a few nice tips on their website for individuals on how to customize their phone interface to combat this time suck and it seemed like a very Solari-like advice – so I thought I should share it with the group.

    Thank you for all your work!

  4. Catherine,

    Your ‘Demonetization and You Corbett Report | 27 January 2017’ link points to Solari.com

  5. This a morality/self-flagellation tale:
    Long ago I switched us to a credit union and happily went on our way, but we didn’t close the too-big-to-fail bank account as a direct deposit was involved, opting to do it later, just emptying the funds occasionally. Years later I moved some funds to the evil bank, anticipating on wiring them on, several weeks later. When the day arrived the evil bank refused to wire out the money citing bank policy. The reason for the refusal parroted to me was not as you might expect “terror”, but a bank policy against bitcoin. I’m aware Catherine advises against bitcoin, however I am of a different opinion having found a licensed and regulated exchange under the laws of New York state. However, the moral is you don’t really control your own money in a too-big-to-fail bank which is part of problem, not the solution. It really is a deal with the devil using these bank corporations, one that came back and bit me. I may be angrier with myself however than the bankster.

    1. I hope everyone reads this, John. I so appreciate your posting. We are all guilty – me included – of going along for various time saving reasons – and the chances for regretting it are clearly rising.

  6. Very encouraging the facts behind this disaster may finally be put on display and prosecuted, especially with the long list of heroic advocates being able to collaborate around Trump’s sponsorship.
    Signs are this is a Donald/Melania parental vendetta against the vaccine mafia for what it has done to their son, Barron.
    Likely that Melania (per Catherine’s months ago comment about the power of maternal fury) will keep Donald fixed on this fight.
    It will be a good initial case study whether they can marshal the resources and public opinion put down the formidable pharma mob.

    1. Not sure what Trump wants to do here or will do here. I believe he will be focused in the first year on getting the economic agenda done. Part of the challenge on Obamacare is the absence of market economics for the pharmacuticals. Much bigger total issues than vaccines alone – same problem in many areas – destruction of the population. Ultimately, a part of the question on moving to a positive return on investment for taxpayers in heath is reintroducing competition and market economics while finding a way to provide reasonable regulation. Once you allow the patenting of life, you are into trying to create a regulatory structure for serious mess. Where is the culture that can undergird the values to uphold a human culture.

  7. Definitely hard to believe.
    The ruling sociopath class has co-opted human idealism and empathy, perfected MK-Ultra and entrainment technologies, and hooked unsuspecting minds via psychotropic drugs, false flags, peer pressure, and endless “trigger” tactics.
    Aka full spectrum dominance … shock and awe Satanic Mind Kontrol.
    Best to try to comprehend how they do what they do, and hopefully avoid getting “sucked in” (as the reviewer of HOOKED described on the Solari homepage).
    This form of government mercilessly empties unsuspecting souls of their humanity and directs them to perpetrate obscene horror. Which again recalls Putin’s query to Obama and the West:
    “Do you realize what you’ve done?”
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6USXGp_K9s
    Tragically, the answer for now is “No”.
    Hopefully, an awakening cometh.

  10. Catherine –
    Per your and Dr. Farrell’s observation that something “spiritually and energetically deeply pro-human” is transpiring on a global scale, I have to love everything that Tulsi Gabbard is doing along those lines, most recently in Syria:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID223ToMVxM
    Could we be going into an Age of Empathy?
    And, if so, how and when did we lose our way?
    Your friend Jon Rappoport gave a great clue to the 2nd question a few days ago when he reflected about a long-ago note he received from super-healer Richard Jenkins:
    “People are confusing their own empathy for others with some overblown idea about group-identity. They aren’t the same. People are becoming afraid of their own unique and distinct existence. This is a social fear. A new social contract is being foisted on the population. Either you belong, or you have no rights. This is a totalitarian concept. It’s coming in through the back door.”
    Jenkins’ observation suggested global sociopaths cleverly hijacked natural human empathy and weaponized it as a means by which people allowed themselves to be bullied by NWO group-think.
    Now, an emerging group of sovereignist empaths is leading us out of this darkness.
    I see you will do a Solari Report with Rappoport in a couple of weeks. May I request you touch on this vital topic with him?

    1. I just recorded it. Otherwise I would love to discuss this with him. This is a very important insight.

      “Jenkins’ observation suggested global sociopaths cleverly hijacked natural human empathy and weaponized it as a means by which people allowed themselves to be bullied by NWO group-think.”

      It has been remarkable to watch the inhumanity of people who sincerely believe they are passionate about humanity and how indifferent they are to enormous amounts of inhumanity to a wide number of groups, not to mention financial genocide.

      1. What you just said, Catherine, reminded me of a quote that I heard attributed to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, “Before men can do evil, they must convince themselves that they’re doing good.”

        1. Unfortunately, we keep seeing the federal government engage in for profit money making with the luxury of the powers of enforcement and the ability to create fiction and insist it is fact.

  15. As we’ve been told that the rocks that form Stonehenge have been in place for thousands of years, I found the following information to be very interesting. Here are many pictures showing the site being constructed during the 1900s, including one photo showing cement being poured to hold the stones in place:

    https://www.exposingtruth.com/105-photos-stonehenge-constructed-modern-times/

    In addition, here is an article discussing how all of this work was completed in different phases during the 1900s:

    https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/12/330623.html?c=on

      1. I agree, Catherine. For me those photos and the article are two more things that I can show to people to have them see that our media, on all fronts, collectively decide together what news not to report to us.

  17. I totally believe that … the rarefied status of yesteryear’s Wall St.Queen Bee Austin Fitts must have had stress buffers galore.
    With your unfortunate forfeit of French fashion, my prayer for the day is that the twisted hand fate has dealt our contemporary Catherine continues to fill you – in an improbable but divine way – with an immeasurably richer, pro-human warmth that you radiate more brightly each day.

  18. Jim:

    Actually, I prefer the days when I had the resources to protect against the stress and wear my Terry Muglers and other assorted french fashions!

    🙂

    Catherine

  19. After reading the report I thought the $6.5 trillion missing from DOD reported for last summer was just the figure for 2015, but it was also cumulative in that it included the $2.5 trillion from earlier in that year. So it was $6.5 not $9.

    1. John:

      I appreciate your effort here. I missed that and will adjust my numbers.

      Catherine

  20. During the last week’s Money and Markets I heard Catherine reading a letter from a subscriber who tried the Blushield emf protection device recommended by Jason Bawden Smith. The subscriber felt it was a great device and thought it helped her with brain entrainment used during the recent election cycle.

    I also believe the device is very helpful, so much so that I became a distributor of the device about a month ago. I mentioned before, and will repeat, my offer to sell any of the blushield devices to any Solari subsriber for 10% off the retail price.

    If interested please contact my website http://www.blushield-emfprotection.com

  22. Hi Catherine,

    Just finished listening to the wrap up with Dr. Farrell.

    I appreciate the fact that Dr. Farrell took a much more objective stance on Muslims. In the past he and I have some words on the issue.

    I would like to comment on immigrants. I am a 1st generation American and I don’t think my parents ever thought they would spend the rest of their lives in America. In the past, the idea was make money in America and go home. Most immigrants would send money back to their countries to build a home to go back to.

    Immigration exists is because most of the 3rd world nations had their currencies devalue and inflation skyrocketed caused by the banking industry in the west. Then the political instability was the icing on the cake to solidify the madness.

    If Americans and Europeans resent immigration then they need to look at themselves for allowing governments in the west to destabilize these nations. When a young man make racial slurs to my elderly mother and aunt because they were wearing a hijabs there’s a big problem. In a million years, that young man would never take responsibility or hold western nations accountable for the wrath that was ensued in the Middle East. It’s always someone else.

    My cousin said it best, why would I leave my country, my culture, and language to go to a completely foreign country if I didnt have to.

    Najat

    1. Najat:

      I agree completely. And whatever we are dealing with here it is nothing compared to what is coming in Europe. Note Jack Ma’s comment at Davos – America spent $14 trillion on wars over the last 30 years.

      What many people in America don’t understand is that the disaster capitalism that we have been experiencing is a milder (getting less so) of what has been happening globally for some time.

      This is all part of the divide and conquer. That is why it is so important to that in our communications we figure out how to overcome it and totally transform the conversation.

      Apologies to your mother and aunt on behalf of American’s sometimes bad manners. If it is any consolation, you would be surprised how often I get insulted regarding my appearance or outfits. It seems to be this way in America these days,

      Catherine

      1. Thanks Catherine.

        I completely agree. It is all part of divide and conquer and that’s why I don’t take it too seriously with exception of anyone threatening my mother.

        Eventually the truth will come out and Americans will have to deal with their naiveness of their government.

        From a fashion designer, your style is fabulous. Pay them no mind.

        Najat

  23. Hi Catherine,

    Your thoughts on that Inaugural speech please…. I think you and Dr. Farrell need to do a late edition on just that speech alone….

    I was floored.

    1. I thought it was an excellent speech.

      The unipolar vision has failed. America has to regather energy domestically and part of that is reversing the alienation throughout the country.

      Some favorite parts:

      “For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.
      Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.
      Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.
      The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.”

      This needed to be said – it took enormous courage to say this – the same as saying we have a negative ROI to taxpayers and that has to change.

      “At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.’

      This was the way it used to be – we were all Americans and there was much greater respect for each other in our treatment. This was one of the reason I fought so hard against the genocide being done in poor neighborhoods in the ’90s- if you could do this to ANY neighborhood, then you could do it do any American.’ Before the 1990’s it meant something to be an American. It has been systematically destroyed since then.

      “But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.”

      It also takes enormous courage to call out the schools/university. The university system has gotten rich by loading young people up with horrible debt. What has been done is fraudulent inducement – criminal.

      “Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.”

      This sets a standard for American’s to be righteous – a higher standard than “deplorables” – that is exactly the bar that needs to be set if we are going to reverse the debasement. Not to mention that I sleep with a semi-automatic. I would like to live in a country where I did not need to.

      Another of my favorite parts was “We will not seek to impose our way of life on anyone…We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.”

      One question is what he means by radical islamic terrorist – is it just the mercenary armies we created or is it more? Is it checkmating China in the middle east? Is it allowing Israel to continue to do genocide? I don’t know.

      A major change is required. The debt growth model is over. So the money has to change. The reason Trump is the President is because the power brokers and deep state who want to reshore, rebuild and achieve a closer relationship with Russia backed him.

      The danger is that the national security state is not willing to realign or be productive. And we get serious “piratization” and then back to another cycle of war.

      The corruption is so wide and deep – whether what we are doing here or abroad – that this will take all of us. The real change has to come decentralized and is has to be global. While Farage, Trump, Le Pen all sound like nationalist, I also think they are empaths – they were watching the enormous human destruction being done by the form of centralization being implemented.

      Anyway, some late night thoughts…

      At the heart of the question is whether or not we are going to fight for a human society or permit an inhuman society.

      My 2 cents is that we have a much better chance of a human society with this group than with a Clinton Administration. The Clinton’s talked a great game. If you looked under the carpet, it was genocide, assassination, organized crime and disaster capitalism.

      1. I have to say that I am laughing my head off because we have a First Lady from Eastern Europe who can speak 5 languages and a President whose granddaughter is learning to speak Mandarin. Real, natural globalization is clicking right along.

      2. Najat:

        Here is the one thing he did not address – which is going to anger the global population – and everyone in America needs to hear:

        Discussed in Solari Report Interview with Steve Roach

        From his book Unbalanced:
        “The United States, with only 4.5 percent of the world’s population, spent $10.7 trillion on personal consumption in 2011, accounting for 17 percent of global consumer demand. U.S. consumption is nearly 35 percent larger than pan-European consumption, even though Europe’s population is slightly larger than that of the United States. It is four times that of China and India combined, even though those countries account for close to 40 percent of the world’s population, nearly nine times that of the United States.”
        ~Stephen Roach, Unbalanced: The Codependency of America and China (p. 10). Yale University Press. 2014

  24. Jim’s Comments with mine interspersed:

    I had three bits of feedback on the 2nd wrap-up with Dr. Farrell:

    First, there was quite a bit of discussion on the “Rape of Russia II” scenario. Russia seems to have trumped this risk with its decade-long focus on military preparedness, recently laid out by Saker here:
    http://theduran.com/russian-military-best-world/

    CAF: We were refering to the Rape of Russia being done to the US – not Russia.

    More importantly, if we can agree that Rape of Russia II is off the agenda, then what does it mean for the US dollar? One of the few remaining US$ lynchpins has been the perception of military supremacy (i.e., the so-called militarized US$). That assumption has now been put in grave doubt, which has correspondingly led to questions about the relevance of the US$ itself. May I request much further follow-up discussion along these lines? In other words, the more timely topic is not whether Russia gets raped again, but what becomes of an increasingly irrelevant world reserve currency.

    Second, Catherine mentioned that she was struck by Putin’s question to the West, “Do you realize what you’ve done?”. I suspect Putin was channeling Christ on the Cross (Luke 23:34) for effect there, directly addressing the soul-less West but also speaking to Orthodox Russians about the need for unfathomable forgiveness in dealing with empty souls. Sounds crazy, but that is the distinct impression I got when I watched Putin say that (i.e., he was trying to make a deeper point to his Russian audience). Only mentioning since Catherine seemed struck by his comment.

    CAF Fascinating. Will think about that one.

    Lastly, both Catherine and Joe observed that something “spiritually and energetically deeply pro-human” was transpiring. Clearly, this is the case. For me, it is embodied in the rejection of sociopathic “leadership” (Bushes, Clintons, Neo-cons, pedophiles, Goldman banksters, etc.) and the rise of sovereigntist firebrands who have dramatically more empathetic traits (Putin, Trump, Le Pen, etc.). And yes, although wildly misreported by the sociopathic press, Putin and Trump are major empaths … which the unwashed masses fully sense and embrace. All of which suggests we may already have Russia/US leadership in place to push forward the spiritually and energetically deeply pro-human phenomenon taking hold.

    Insisting on pro-human is essential. If we don’t hold that line, money is irrelevant.

    Extremely encouraging to say the least.
    Many thanks for the thought provoking wrap-ups!

    CAF: You are most welcome! Great insights!

  25. Hmm … apologies, I thot I saw it get posted. But no.
    I’ll try again later.
    Really enjoyed the year-end Farrell discussions!

  26. Catherine:
    I just finished listening to your 2nd Wrap-up with Joe Farrell. My subscriber feedback:

  27. Swamp gators morphing into geese that lay golden eggs?
    That takes some real imagination … right out of Isaiah 11:6-9.

  28. Speaking of small world, listening to the most recent CAF/Farrell discussion the topic of Promis software came up.
    As background, Promis was was developed from IP stolen by the FBI under Edwin Meese, who recently popped out of nowhere as a leader of Trump’s transition team:
    http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/reagan-for-trump-meese-leads-over-200-reaganites-to-team-trump/article/2605975
    Further background per Catherine’s Promis comments:
    A Wharton finance professor named Orlin Grabbe had a bank consulting business with an ex-CIA software spook, Chuck Hayes (aka Angel of Death). While doing consulting work for their global bank clients, they discovered that an Israeli computer firm had sold and installed/infected the worldwide banking system with Promis software. Of course, the Israeli company was merely a Mossad front that had “licensed” the stolen Promis software from the FBI, run by Meese.
    Per Grabbe, he and Hayes had stumbled onto the reality that the global banking system, including each customer account, was 100% compromised. Promis allowed funds to be deposited/withdrawn thru the software’s so-called “back-door”, without any knowledge or oversight by the bank. This facilitated the bribery and blackmail of politicians worldwide.
    As for Grabbe and Hayes, they realized their lives were in danger. Orlin fled to the embassy district in San Jose, Costa Rica and declared his own country, Laissez Faire City, in the abandoned Nicaragua embassy. Hayes was not so fortunate. He was thrown in solitary confinement at the urging of HRC on bogus FBI charges. Best-I-know, Hayes died there. Here is an old background note that may be of interest:
    https://www.memresearch.org/grabbe/jnaodww.htm
    Summary: Team Trump is loaded with swamp gators; yet, Trump’s populist mantra is “drain the swamp”. It doesn’t make sense.

    1. My favorite cartoon of the campaign was called American Roulette. Two guns were pointed at America. Once had six bullets and was titled Clinton. And one had three bullets and was called Trump.

      The administration is full of all the people who sucked all the money out. They have proved that they can steal all the money. Let’s see if they can make something work. No goose. No golden egg.

    1. Yup. That is a good one. Posted and Tweeted. Hope he reads it. If you look at how much she did for Goldman on the housing bubble and the NY real estate folks during the 90’s not surprising to see her turn up.

  30. Catherine,
    Dr. Roberts brings up some interesting arguments. Trump must know at least some of the “narrow interests” behind the CIA. Maybe I’m naive, but it seems to me that striking at the CIA is just striking at a very big branch of the tree. He would be better off going after some of these interests, provided he has a strong FBI and DOJ. I know that it is way easier said than done. I’m in the same camp as the Saker as far as what Trump must do very quickly.

    Do you think Mr. Global is a who or a what? Maybe Mr. Global is a consciousness that infects certain types of people. This consciousness lies to people all of the time, even to its most loyal servants. And these higher ups lie to their suboordinates to get them to go along with things that they otherwise wouldn’t do. And so it goes down the line. I remember an article on how a memo was sent out from CIA management that was a lie in order to deceive its own employees. How many people in the CIA are good Americans who are being lead astray? I have to believe that most of the people in these various agencies are working under false beliefs. These beliefs were probably instilled in them when they were in college when they were first recruited.

    On another note, it bothers me when writers and media figures say the FBI, the CIA, etc. did this, that, or the other thing. No, it was certain people who worked for that organization and I would bet that there were a number of other people in the organization that were against those particular actions about which the media figure was talking. When writers say the FBI without qualifying it, it gives people who don’t know better the impression that the whole organization is corrupt. That’s not good for anyone and it’s simply not true.

    As a corollary, people need to understand that government is not one giant monolith. There are many working parts. The clinton investigations are a good example. If the reports are accurate, the FBI is battling the DOJ on doing these investigations. My money is on the FBI and the hacks in the DOJ are just running cover operations. I know you understand this, but I think this point needs emphasizing. I hope Trump cleans out the DOJ for his own sake….and ours. I can’t remember the last good AG that we have had. I’ve said this before, but the AG needs to be elected, not appointed.

    Be well.

    1. Chad:

      If you listen to the audio we published this evening, I talk about how the US government or any intelligence agency is no a monolith but millions of factions.

      I don’t agree with much in Robert’s article because I think it is important to get into the issues at the deepest level. At the root is a policy question of what we make secret and what we make transparent. That has to be decided first, which I why I am much more interested in what Trump says a week from now than what he says today.

      While the process this week was messy, the infusion of some honesty is having an enormously positive effect. All solutions require a much more honest map and conversation.

      Better mess than fake news.

  31. Catherine:

    In case you didn’t know it, there will be a total solar eclipse visible in Tennessee on August 21st. The eclipse will be visible on a path from Oregon to South Carolina, and here is a map of where it will be visible within Tennessee. This will be the first total solar eclipse that’s been visible in the United States since 1979.

    https://www.greatamericaneclipse.com/tennessee/

    1. Yes. We posted a link last week or the week before about it. THANKS! Perhaps terrible timing, I will probably be in Europe that day.

  32. FYI, Catherine. We’re past “beyond a reasonable doubt” in showing that marijuana has medical value. The DEA’s policy toward it is a travesty of a mockery of a sham. There should be no doubt in peoples’ minds that the DEA, in part, is being used to protect certain industries, namely big pharma, tobacco, and alcohol. I am continuing to support LEAP’s efforts in changing police officers’ minds on the issue. While there may be a case keeping some drugs illegal, there is absolutely no excuse when it comes to marijuana. Regulated yes, prohibited no.

    Chad

    http://www8.nationalacademies.org/onpinews/newsitem.aspx?RecordID=24625

    1. Chad:

      For purposes of understanding what is happening, it is useful to put yourself in Mr. Global’s chair and then view the general population as livestock. Determine how you would optimize harvesting the livestock, including constantly prototyping new ways of harvesting and evolving what you are doing. Don’t think of humans as humans. Think of them as natural resources to be mined.

      Catherine

      1. Understood. Once their lies have been dispelled and people awake from their slumber, the mining operations will stop, provided the police and the military wake up, also. I hope you can get one of the LEAP reps on for an interview. I think I lot of people will appreciate it. The prestige of the police has been greatly harmed by the drug war. Having a LEAP representative on may help your subscribers understand that many officers are not for the current legal scheme regarding drugs and help to restore some of that prestige.

    1. Chad:

      If something is a safety issue related to our children, we need to discuss. Check out Rappoport’s latest that we posted. CDC scientists are revolting…

      Catherine

      1. I just watched Part 6 of Vaccines Revealed – last 2/3 on anthrax vaccine. One of the hardest things I have ever had to watch. Highly recommended.

      1. That’s weird. I thought I had posted a link from zerohedge talking about whether or not someone would try to assassinate Trump. But the vaccine series is interesting. Here’s the original link.

        http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-14/will-cia-assassinate-trump-ron-paul-warns-more-powerful-shadow-government

        I can’t ever remember seeing this number of articles speculating on this possibility, let alone the number of people that have tweeted something along that meme.

        1. Hate to see a groove being created for it in the field. I think it is highly unlikely. There is no doubt the tensions are unprecedented.

  38. This was an interesting interview on Reality Calls Show that can be found on Sound Cloud: https://soundcloud.com/realitycalls/5-robert-david-steele-truth-at-any-cost-lowers-all-other-costs

    The guest was very complementary to the author of the Devils Chessboard. I book that is next on my reading list and that I gave to a few people for Christmas… After listening to Catherine’s interview with the author.

    Wanted to share this interview with the Solari Community.

  39. Here is a tremendous interview with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., telling us about all of the fraud and the lies being told to us by the vaccine industry. They know that our children are being seriously injured by their vaccines, we have the science and the E-mail trails among themselves to prove it, and both they and the Centers for Disease Control have been lying about this and covering it all up. He says that it has now become his life’s mission to expose all this fraud and all of the harm that it has been doing to our children, and he said that he will be filing lawsuits in moving forward:

    https://youtu.be/EYNTcpZI5yY?t=1m49s

    1. Looks like that video has been taken down. It is part of a new documentary called Vaccines Revealed. Several subscribers have recommended.

  41. Catherine –
    Per you longtime question of who will dare push the proverbial Red Button, it looks like we have Putin and Trump taking turns.
    We’ve seen Putin:
    re-set global military primacy via the Syria rescue, ban GMOs in favor of real food, kick Soros and his NGOs out of Russia, challenge anything-goes perversions and revive the historic bond between the Orthodox church and the state, etc.
    Now comes Trump challenging the crony military-industrial complex, NATO, the evil-Russia narrative, drug companies and vaccines … all pre-inauguration.
    Even more interesting, these Red Button moves seem to keep the Globaloney-ists constantly off-balance, to the point of flailing desperation.
    If the Red Button is successfully in play in a global way, do we have any visibility on what to expect or should we just brace ourselves?

    1. Jim:

      Way too early to tell. Talk is cheap. We are going to see what rolls out from the new Administration and how it dovetails with Russia and China. How committed is the Trump part of the deep state to war with Russia and China? We don’t know yet.

      Catherine

  42. Catherine,
    From the video I saw of the Ft. Lauderdale shooting, that looks like more of a hit, than some mass shooting. And Ari Fleischer was there to tweet what was going on? Awfully coincidental.

    Chad

    1. Oh, great. Another rabbit hole. There are more rabbit holes in one week of news these days than all the gopher holes in Caddyshack. Bill Murphy, where are you?

  45. Catherine –
    It’s amazing how the CIA continues to tarnish whatever credibility it had left with the silly Russian hacking story, on which Trump is fully calling it out.
    But I can’t help but think the breadcrumbs of the REAL story will eventually lead Trump to his Zionist/bankster buddies with whom he is already in bed. In other words, Trump is loudly calling out one part of the Deep State (i.e., the CIA) while becoming entangled with other parts (his Goldman advisers, Israel, etc.).
    Maybe I’m missing something here, but it seems like Trump is engineering his own train wreck.
    Would love some input on this, or directional assistance if you’ve already covered it somewhere on your site.

    1. Read the Productivity Backlash, Listen to the Trump Transition, then listen to Can We Make America Great Again and explore links. Trump must work within the ecosystem. He is only one person. Question is whether he and his backers will agree to switching negative ROI to postive ROI. Or will his backers just pig out. Planning on writing more after the annual Wrap up and considering doing 1st Quarter Wrap Up on policies and positions.

      A POTUS can only do what the population and backers will support. So the more we criticize, the less he can do. The more we help go in the right direction, the more he can do.

      We are facing a country and a Washington establishment that is so divorced from economic reality that it is becoming a very dangerous. We need the inauguration behind us.

  46. “I genuinely do not mean to single out these individual journalists for scorn. They are just illustrative of a very common dynamic: Any story that bolsters the prevailing D.C. orthodoxy on the Russia Threat, no matter how dubious, is spread far and wide. And then, as has happened so often, when the story turns out to be false or misleading, little or nothing is done to correct the deceitful effects. And, most amazingly of all, these are the same people constantly decrying the threat posed by Fake News.”

    1. Thanks, John. Will post. So far the DC establishment is in a very noisy death spiral. Very unpleasant, expensive and time consuming. More waste of our precious resources.

    1. Clif’s on a role. I enjoy reading his work because it helps expand my mind in terms of imagining possible futures. I worry that he is trying to give people certainty where it can not be found. We used to have a rolling debate. He said collapse. I said slow burn. Went on for quite a while. Now that we are coming into a controlled demolition will be interesting to see how our expectations compare.

    1. ABSOLUTELY! He may have a problem as that significantly lowers profit margins for some of his constituents.

    1. Yes. Ally Albert Bates has made a compelling case for years about the benefits of biochar.
