Theme: The Difference Between a Heartbeat and Silence

“I can remind myself, all day long every day, that there’s a difference between doing something and doing nothing. That “something,” small as it might seem, is not “nothing.” The space between them is far apart, limitless stretching distances apart. It’s the difference between a heartbeat and silence.” ~ Margaret Renkel, “Surviving in Spite of Extinction”

  1. Dear Catherine

    I started listening to the video with Dr Randy Trent. As you said, it is too much to take in at one sitting and so far I have only got into the first 40 minutes of his talk.

    I was so shocked by what I heard that I was literally shaking. With each new revelation I kept saying to myself in astonishment, “I don’t believe it.” and “How can seemingly normal and civilized people do such things?”. Is this what Hannah Arendt called “the banality of evil”?

    I recently listened to an interview with Sophia Smallstorm. (You had an interesting talk with her about glyphosates last month.) Well, she convincingly argues that viruses don’t exist
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmPdVAae9gA
    so right now I am totally confused.

    This discrepancy might be clarified later on in Dr Trent’s discussion however I am not a scientist so I don’t know what or whom to believe. Not just about this but about everything. I am totally confused and it has got to the point that I have must believe this confusion is part of the plan. Everything I have learned and thought to be true I am now discovering is all wrong – science, history, economics, finance, current events… everything. Everything is a big fat lie; simple everyday things like the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the soap we use, the medication we take and the weather we experience are all lies. Even supposedly “solid” things like medicine. This is what Adam Curtis has called the post-truth world of hyper-normalization. He says that we live in a world where the powerful deceive us and we know we re being deceived and lied to.

    It seems as though the Zoroastrians are right, that there is the god of good and the god of evil. Earth is their battleground, and we are in the midst of this battle. The more I learn every day and the more I try to discover the truth, the more pervasive I see that evil is amongst us. It is truly unsettling.

    Thank you for continuing to be be a beacon of goodness and truth in my life.

    1. I am inclined to agree with Tent on this one, in part because of what I read in Judy Mikovits book https://home.solari.com/book-review-plague-by-kent-heckenlively-and-dr-judy-a-mikovits/ – but I am like you – moving through the uncertainty, listening to talented good hearted people who often disagree. I have learned to keep learning and stay patient.

      I do believe that vaccines have been as harmful as he describes. I don’t believe the people who are instituting the various poisonings of the general population are normal and civilized. I worked for them. They practiced and believed in slavery and war. They look at the world differently than we do. We have always allowed them to do these things and agreed to go along for small rewards. Social prestige, money, sex, etc. They don’t respect us because we are cheap and easy to buy – and are very willing to harm or kill each other for small rewards.

      Evil is real and we are dealing with it. So important that we not invite it in, feed it or finance it.

      Appreciate your kind words- we search for goodness and truth together.

  2. Pretty grim report again this week. I would aver that there is no nuclear war ahead—at least not intentionally—on any side, and I think this includes the often bellicose Israelis, who are vulnerable to any number of unmanageable hazards being in the midst of their many enemies. The Persians have no appetite for self destruction and indeed their apparent newfound Chinese buddies aren’t going to want to drive lead-lined railcars over an obsidian desert, so don’t look for that. Incidentally, the vulnerability of Iran is that its nuclear destruction could conceivably be isolated from a great deal of the West. So, again what’s anyone’s incentive?

    I am just finishing L. Fletcher Prouty’s “JFK” book, and I think it should be on the essential list for all subscribers. It’s only tangentially about JFK and almost entirely about the incredible ruse of Vietnam, and for any boomer who needs an object lesson about this “nation-building” mischief we’ve spent 75 years on, it will ring quite true. Indeed, as I have elsewhere remarked, the current Venezuelan hijinks run a close parallel to the Indochinese adventure. Never intended to be concluded, it just represented a threat that could be sold to the public with the concomitant belt tightening efforts that war brings about in the name of patriotism. Conventional warfare could easily have defeated whatever Hanoi could do, but we could not risk nukes with the Chinese in possession of them. Prouty spells it out slowly and clearly. Nukes are never really an option, but brinkmanship is a game of chicken that seems to attract the poker players among the world’s statesmen.

    Incidentally, the term ‘suborbital’ refers to something that goes up and back down without entering orbit (like an ICBM) and I think you have been meaning ‘orbital’ and ‘space-faring’ platforms as potential bases for our own (and our up-to-date rivals’) wonder weapons. Last, the midweek schedule of the Tea Time with Catherine is unfortunately not going to work for me this time around, although it’s only a few hours away. I enjoyed our last meeting and would like to have attended.

    1. John:

      Yes, things do look grim. It was fun to be in Thailand where they do not look or feel grim. I agree, the chances of nuclear war are slim – certainly by the sovereign nations. My concern with nuclear is the cowboys – mercenaries and organized crime. And of course there are accidents.

      Yes, I should add ALL Prouty to the essential reading list.

      I think the reason we talk about nuclear weapons so much is because the most important weapons are secret. Nuclear weapons are public. And having nuclear power makes counties financially independent of the US system.

      Sorry we will not see you in Michigan, but it is far to go for someone with many obligations. I hope to return to the beautiful Ohio valley….

  3. The shipping industry worldwide is mandated to start using low sulphur bunker oil by 2020. Ship owners will either install scrubbers on the vessels at a high cost + layup time of vessel at drydock, or will pay the market price for low sulphur oil. At this point, no one knows what that market price will be, given that the shift of demand will be so huge and immediate. The waiting time for a spot at dry dock to install the new equipment is also going to be long, so there is sure to be a big time lag before everything settles.

    The assumption is in short term the bunker oil prices will spike and then settle once the refining capacity catches up with demand and ship owners have time to upgrade their ships.

    It would be interesting to see who has the ability /raw material + refining capacity/ to take advantage of this transition time. There is a big market opportunity there for the right players.

    1. The bunker fuel of the future will be LNG. Coming soon to a port near you. The service life of oceangoing fleets is such that the transition takes a generation of 20+ years. After that, railroad and then on-road trucks will convert, once distribution is ramped up to support the vast amounts that ships use. Way less particulates from burning gas.

      1. John:

        I confess, having doing banking work on coal gasification when I was a banker in the Energy Group at Dillon Read, I have never been able to understand how LNG could be economic given other available technologies. You will have to explain it when I see you next….which I hope is sooner rather than later!

        Catherine

        1. Catherine,

          LNG is of course natural gas, which is abundant and basically free, plus freight and processing. The supplies are essentially unlimited in the form of Methane Hydrates in the edges of continental and ocean plates, plus, as discussed previously, the planet is constantly manufacturing more (cf. Gold *Deep, Hot Biosphere*). Ships and most diesel locomotives run constantly and consume enormous amounts of fuel and create enormous amounts of particulates. The new ULS diesel requirements will be extremely difficult to meet and any VLS or ULS is vulnerable to biological attack (the sulfur doesn’t taste good to the bugs). Enter LNG. It is very competitive with bunker fuel, and there is a robust demand for it to supplement (gaseous) natural gas in less hydrocarbonically well-endowed places like Europe, so there are already transshipment ports that have plenty of it to fuel ships. Lastly, if indeed methane is a greenhouse gas and evolves naturally from the earth, it makes no sense NOT to burn it.

          2. John

            Do you think there is a connection between the shipment of LNG and the warming of the Arctic allowing shorter distances to ship the fuel?

    2. Fascinating – thanks Andrzej! I did not realize that was so. Good time to be sitting on all the financial coup d’etat proceeds, don’t you think?

  4. Just listening to a podcast w/ the Author Annie Jacobsen, who just came out with a book called, “Surprise, Kill, Vanish: The Secret History of CIA Paramilitary Armies, Operators, and Assassins.” I’m reading the book now, and immediately began to think about what Catherine has been discussing w/ the Missing Money and FASB 56, and ‘Contractors doing the dirty work’ (my words). This clip was chilling. They were discussing DARPA, Pentagon and Intel, etc and AI/Robotics used as autonomous weapons and more. She said it here: https://youtu.be/5VoVIpIzj_c?t=8082 (paraphrased: If the ‘Generals’ don’t want this, because they want the Warrior/Human instead of Robots/AI, then asks, WHO does want this? and it all came down to the money.)

    1. Colleen:

      Be cautious. Jacobsen is good writer and does a lot of good document digging. But she often comes up with the wrong frame and buys into modified hang outs and official stories. I like reading her as I always find very useful nuggets and just ignore the hang outs.

  5. The Trade War is Not Meant to Have a Deal. Never Was.

    The “Countries” are trading regional areas of influence. USA will take Venezuela, Mexico..etc.

    China will take Korea, New Zealand..etc.

    The Multi-polar world is well on it’s way.

    1. Private Oligarchy has won out over the CIA-Rockafeller Model=The ones who have been complaining for 3 years about handing over the keys to Trump.

      Kochs, Devos, London Financier(Brexit), Black Nobility, Federalist Society, George Mason University, Buchanan, Virginia University has won out.

      So Expect Privatization, Neo-Feudalistic Society, private schools(Devos), Private Armies(her brother).

      They’re Gonna Gut Medicare/Medicade and Ramp up Military/Police, flat local taxes with local infrastructure.

      1. The Bush Syndicate is back in power – at the heart of the CIA-Rockefeller model. Note the Dallas raid on the Catholic diocese. Lets give energy to the Midianite thing. 🙂

          1. A Bush CIA man is the new attorney general. A Bush man is the new Chairman of the Federal Reserve. A Bush man just went in as the new Supreme Court Justice. Think.

          2. You are right Catherine, the Bush are back in power.

            However Its only natural for these old aristocratic private wealth to flood into America via Brexit/Trump. They fear powerful central states like China.

            Rothschild’s sold off their last Austrian Estate and took their swiss bank private.
            -https://www.mansionglobal.com/articles/rothschild-family-sells-large-austrian-hunting-estate-87753
            -https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/mar/13/edmond-de-rothschild-swiss-bank-taken-private-family-ariane-de-rothschild

            1) Dissolve the estate tax soon-Up to 11 Million for now
            2) Revamp Oil Product-Energy Independence
            3) Conglomerate Farm Land-Cheap Grains-Feed the masses-Stops Revolutions
            4) Build a wall(castle) keep low wage competition out, so the jobs are filled and people can eat and be debt serfs. Over-comp from mexico will cause to much unrest and organized crime they don’t control.
            3) Buy up all the Land/Real estate- Collected untaxed/delectable runtier income

            “Trump’s notions of power and privilege reflect not the modern conservatism of the Republican Party, but the classical conservatism of the old European aristocracy. This conservatism was vanquished by the rise of the rule of law and modern industrial economies. But the return of monopolies, especially in the energy sector, has revived it, setting the United States on a dangerous path away from Western democracy and toward petro-state dictatorships around the world.”

            “elites built wealth by taxing the overwhelming majority of their populations, most of whom were poor. Wealth came either from status at birth or monopoly power granted by the king. This created a vulnerability that left elites in constant fear of losing position. As a result, they labored to justify their wealth and protect their position, including keeping the masses uneducated, limiting their freedom and constructing segregated legal systems where peasants had few rights.”

            -https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by-history/wp/2018/07/11/donald-trump-is-embracing-a-traditional-strain-of-conservatism-just-not-the-one-you-think/?utm_term=.5a6651a40db7

            This is exactly what Betsy Devos is doing with private schools
            It’s the old british model they are bringing in.

          3. The Rothschild started this move at the end of the Iran Contra period and when the new GATT round started with the WTO – see my online book Dillon Read. This shift has been underway for quite a while. Understand they are the people who financed the Chinese.

            This is why I have been encouraging you to learn about the Dutch West Indies Company and the East India Company models. These are very old models – for the English as well.

            If you look at what is happening with vaccines, DNA and various forms of biowarfare and sex education, there is a twist here that is a very new overlay. But the model of managing humans on the same conceptual model as oil deposits is indeed very gold.

            As I have often said, slavery is the most profitable business on the planet – always has been and still is on a continuing basis.

    2. One possibility when the Bretton Woods policing model is no longer economic.

  6. Catherine:

    Not money and markets related, but how on earth do you keep your immunity up when you travel so much ? Did the late Dr. Thompson set you up with a supplement / herbal regime that you might care to share with us.

    Best

    Mark

    1. Here is what I do
      1. Wash your hands constantly – much more important than you think
      2. Get plenty of sleep and nap
      3. Drink lots of water
      4. No drink and drugs
      5. Keep taking vitamins – particularly good multiple vitamins
      6. Pray regularly;prayers of protection – see Solari prayer book which I carry with me.
      7. Use Thieves oil on travel days
      8. Visit and hang out with very high integrity people
      9. Have a great team behind you
      10. Leave time on Friday and weekend to recover from sewer diving and swamp swimming to prepare Money & Markets on Thursday.
      11. Use breathing exercises – keep naval passages clear
      12. Love what you do – work for real people that you respect

      2. Excellent. Can’t argue with any of it.
        Do be careful, though, with the hand-washing, especially the sanitising gel which seems to be all the rage.
        According to this report most of our soaps and detergents are toxic and the laundry room is the most dangerous room in the house.
        https://www.brasscheck.com/video/dangerous-detergents/?omhide=true
        By extension, from this I also conclude that many chemically bleached and treated sanitary products are not all that healthy either.

  8. Social Media Censorship –

    Facebook (FB), Twitter (TWTR), Amazon (AMZN) are ALL publicly traded corporations. So why am I hearing that they are ‘private’ companies that ban whomever they want to? Ford & GM are not allowed to discriminate … so why aren’t any of the legal brains in our country suing them for discrimination. I don’t understand why a stock holder does not bring a lawsuit for diminished stock & brand valuation due to their discriminatory actions.

    There is nothing ‘private’ about them …

    PS Great 1st Quarter review and enjoyed to perspectives on Technocracy! Extremely valuable ….!!

  9. Hi Catherine, it would be great if you could give some commentary about the ‘Mandela Effect,’ and your thoughts about it. Thanks.

    1. Also, for what it’s worth, I can personally attest to the changing of ‘Berenstein Bears’ changing to ‘stain,’ and the changing of JC Penny to JC Penney.

    2. Michael:

      I have never researched, so I really don’t know much about it. It is on the list of would like to know more. If you have recommendations on best books and sources, let me know.

      Catherine
