3rd Quarter Wrap Up: News Trends & Stories Part II

26 Comments

1. Dear Catherine,

   In several of your interviews I’ve come across you referring to the “federal credit mechanism”. I have not been able to find this term used anywhere else. Can you please briefly explain to me what you mean by this? Does this refer to the entire monetary system, to treasury bonds, to federal entitlements and subsidies, or to something else?

   I found Dr Farrell’s take on on abortion intriguing as well as compelling. Just like with your take on gender, I know when the two of you get together original ideas and different perspective start flying. I love it.

   1. Will post a definition shortly. In the meantime, this piece may help http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0408/S00277.htm

2. I forgot which wrap-up you and Dr. Farrel talked about how the SES was going to start being targeted as the bad guys. No later than a couple weeks from when I read it did I see this article on the SES and Serco:

   https://stillnessinthestorm.com/2018/11/the-deep-state-swamp-can-be-defeated-right-now-heres-how/

   “Senior Executive Service aligns with the imperialistic intents of Serco and numerous other corporations that are listed in this report (BP, Shell, ICAP, British American Tobacco, SABMiller, American Standard Life, Rio Tinto, Ixstrata, etc.).”

   And so it goes. Seeding the alt sites with the agenda. Heh…

   1. Yup. War on the SES is one of the early steps to PIRATIZATION. In 1998, the terrorization of the SES was manifold to get the housing bubble and financial coup going. The budget officer at HUD had a heart attack in the gym. I have always believed it was an assassination.

3. Quotes from Camille Paglia – “Civilization is defined by law and art”. “Laws govern our external behavior, while art expresses our soul”. “Art making is a branch of artisanship artists are craftsmen, closer to carpenters and welders than they are intellectuals and academics, with their inflated, self-referential rhetoric”.

   After meeting you and Dr, Skidmore I journeyed up to New Jersey for a week visiting relatives. On a wet and dreary day I decided to take a tour of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Fabulous place to visit. On the second floor is a Arms and Armour exhibit from the 1600’s. All I can say is “WOW”. I immediately flashed back to all the 1950’s movies like “Knights of the Round Table”, “Prince Valiant”, “Ivanhoe” & “King Richard and the Crusades”. A time when courageous knights battled over borders in armour and weapons that were pieces of art.

   Seeing upclose the delicate designs that decorated the heavy armour and weaponry is awe-inspiring. There was even a display of a horse suited with protective armour ready for battle.

   There was a linked chest armour that belonged to a muslim military leader where each link dimension was 3/8 of an inch long and 1/8 inch wide and on each link was the name of muslim prophet.

   Another room was displays of guns swords dating back to this period of history where the weapons are so beautiful designed with the purpose killing and maiming people. Now these weapons are looked at a work of art. One eight foot long pole with a blade had the seeing eye design.

   Catherine, the primary reason I visited the museum is I wanted to see what was in Francis 1 view when he was holding mass in front of the steps of the museum. As I stood facing the same way as the Pope I notice off to the right are the twin 41 story “Owl” buildings.

   1. Yes. Very spooky area. When I was in Sofia I saw the Thracian treasures. The beauty and delicacy of the designs took my breath away – quite in conflict with the portrayal of them as a primitive, violent people. The victors write the story….

4. Destroy Bayers brand? So how many more times does that have to happen?

   1. LOL – excellent point.

5. Dear Catherine,

   I think you are mistaken about life in Europe. The Europeans are not spending their days having fun in the sun, enjoying la dolce vita. Most Europeans are overtaxed and overwhelmed as they try to deal with deteriorating infrastructure, deteriorating value of their salaries and savings as living costs increase, declining job security, arbitrary authority and intrusive bureaucracies. They are concerned about how they will survive when their jobs are replaced by robots.

   Just as an example, take Germany, one of the “better off” countries in Europe. During Merkel’s tenure Germany has managed to achieve:

   Doubling of the working population living in poverty,
   An Increase in child poverty to 20.3 percent (rising trend),
   Also dramatically rising poverty among the elderly,
   The lowest real wage development within the EU,
   The planned increase in the military budget to 70 billion euros,
   Imminent collapse of the health and care system,
   Job cuts in police, justice and education,
   Successful division of the population by going it alone in refugee policy,
   Network Enforcement Act,
   Military operations of the Bundeswehr in 13 countries,
   Exploitation of the middle class,
   Breaking competitors of their European neighbors through export surplus at dumping price,
   Expansion of part-time and temporary work,
   Sanctions against Russia,
   The extension of the use of glyphosate for a further 5 years.

   In general, Europeans are not enjoying life. They are struggling to make ends meet and they are worried about their futures. They are frustrated, discontent and pessimistic. For most Europeans, cultural events are beyond their reach financially.

   Dr Farrell mentioned the schism in the Orthodox church between Moscow and Constantinople over The Ukraine (2.08.00). Where can I find more about this?

   You both talked briefly about “museum wars” – the looting of the Baghdad Museum and the fire in the National Museum of Brazil. Two dots make a line. Where can I find out more about the big picture on this story?

   Great piece of advice about making your bed every day. It does indeed make a difference.

   1. Andrew:

      I agree the slow burn is squeezing people in Europe just at it is in America. However, I find the debasement to be have reached much further in the US and the infrastructure to be much more debased. So perhaps the US is just much further along.

      I attend and hear of many cultural events in Europe which are free. Accessing them is a matter of time and energy. It takes a lot of brains to navigate and the problem is that people become exhausted from the drain.

      I will ask Dr. Farrell for more on the schism – have you read my review of The Papacy? He recommended that I read it to help understand the schism.

      I will also ask him about the museum wars – there is definately a global pattern.

   2. Joseph and I are planning on doing a Solari Report on the latest developments at the Vatican. He says we should address your question then. Which means it is not a short simple answer.

      1. Catherine,

         In NYC there are over 75,000 French expats living in the city. In the first time ever 6 public schools in Brooklyn are bi-lingual French/English with support from the consulate. For some reason they love Brooklyn. There’s 70,000 Italian expats and 120,000 British.

         There has to be a reason for these numbers.

         1. When you bring all the capital back to North America, you bring talent back with it. I think many more coming.

      2. That’s definitely one I’m looking forward to.

6. Catherine-
   Over the summer the Met had an exhibit celebrating fashion and the Roman Catholic Church and I refuse, refuse, to go. There was no way I was going to attend an exhibit celebrating an organization that has done such damage to so many children. After hearing the wrap up, I can see how the RCC will reform to a more liberal organization and trans humanism will definitely be a part of it.

   AT the beginning of the summer before the Met Gala, there were rumors flying that editor in chief of Vogue Anna Wintour was on her way out. She also heads up the Met Gala and curates the annual event celebrating fashion and art. Those rumors were a big deal. So many people were happy to see her demise. By the end of the summer before fashion week an article broke out that Anna Wintour will never be replaced and has a permanent position at Vogue.

   At that time Vogue was a $100 million in debt. I wouldn’t be surprised there was some deal to Conde Nast to keep her in her place. There was a lot shows during fashion week promoting trans humanism. Three breasted models and men in women’s clothes were everywhere and in all the major cities.

   I have to say part 2 was better than part 1! I’m listening to it again.

   Thank you Catherine and Joseph. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am eternally gratefully for the honesty and reality. I feel like a balanced person. I never feel lonely with great minds out there like your and knowing people listen to you. A lot of this stuff is scary but as you always say if we can face it God can fix it.

   1. Pleased to be of service. No reason to be lonely – too many great people who refused to be “gas lighted!”

      1. You will laugh. Suddenly Mailchip will not send out our videos so this did not go out this week. Hmmm…More tech support time for us to see if we can reverse.

         1. Yikes.. I felt the glitches were too convenient…

            Good luck with that.

      2. I don’t feel lonely. I feel electrified! I am happy to be of service to anyone who is in need.

   2. I love Western art living in the Southwest. The native art and those artists dipicting the West prior to mass media exceptionall and the detail. Many were part of a Taos Society of artists. I live near an art district in Arizona and attended regularly but no more. Many of the galleries are now contemporary featuring nothing. It’s no longer human and I’m walking away from the celebration of nothingness. It’s habitual.

      1. Yikes! I so loved Western art when I lived in Santa Fe. Glad you are walking way – time to support human art.

   3. I am exclusively a product of Catholic school. I believe my education was thorough in comparison to alternatives, but there was an undeniable inculcation throughout it. The contradictory things that the Church first did, then proceeded to cover up, drove a great many of my boomer generation away, but we are culturally fairly cohesive, tend to be conservative and independent-minded.

      What we consistently miss as a nation, and perhaps as a world is the reliable orderliness of a world with a consensus cosmology. I like one of Cormac McCarthy’s quotes “The disorder of evil is the thing, itself.” We are not together on anything and therefore, anything goes. This is the essence of mob rule, and injustice is the inevitable result. The focus for great thinkers needs to be upon constructing a sound cosmology all over again and then to implement it in our daily lives. The distractions of technology lead to diffusion of energy and a shrinking of the individual.

      There has never been a greater existential crisis for humans in the temporal world. What comfort we can take is that eternity does not admit to the schemes of the temporal world. Keep it in mind, do not confuse “a long time” with eternity, and realize that anything that is urgent or imminent is not eternal and will accordingly pass without ultimate effect.

      1. Could not agree more. Sending prayers from Amsterdam where we are having a deep discussion about the source of evil and what scripture says we should do about it.

7. Catherine,

   Celebrities like Kim Kardashian go on instagram and flaunting blood facials. IT’s really disgusting.

8. Can you guys talk about the current stocks market situation? Waiting till next week might be a push.

   1. Aaron:

      This was pre-recorded so not able to do. Will touch base on the stock market in Money and Markets on October 18th.
