Blast from the Past
Greetings Catherine
Got some thinking out loud comments.
I have told you several times that (to me) Trump reminds me of a trapper. Maybe it is the style of his haircut resembling a Davy Crockett coonskin cap.
Let’s look at the recent hit on Baghdadi and the possible events leading up to it.
By pulling the US troops out of the Syrian conclave did it set up a trap to find the location of Baghdadi?
The Kurds released ISIS prisoners, would they know where Baghdadi and his supporters were staying? Did we have the ability to track them?
If so, and the prisoners made a beeline to their leader location that led to his death.
What is more important, the death of Baghdadi or the collect intel that the special forces gathered?
I say it is the collected intel.
Now, will the collected intel have any threads to the previous administration(s)?
Always remember the E.O. signed on Dec 21, 2017
Impossible to say what is going on behind the scenes.
Hi Catherine,
In M&M you had mentioned a video commentary put out by the Bundy family on the “failure of the legislative process.” I haven’t been able to find it above. Will you please (re)post? Thanks.
Odd. It was there and now it is not. Adding again https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=xN5DPfaIz0c
There is one good thing about spiritual warfare being visited on one: the realization that fear is the objective and that the mere withstanding of it is a victory all its own.
Wow… looks like Microsoft got the JEDI contract!

Yes, that was quite a fight. Bezo’s now has a graduate degree in Deep State Tactics.
Not surprising. All Big banks number #1 holding is Microsoft. Whatever huge percentage of computers uses windows.
Dear Catherine,
I am currently in north county San Diego visitng relatives. In the month or so since I have been here there has only been one day when chemtrail / geoengineering spraying has taken place. Not so long ago folks here suffered through almost daily doses of atmospheric spraying. Perhaps the powers that be are more involved with northern California these days. Whatever the reason people here are thankful for the sharp reduction in spraying.
How interesting. And odd.
Happy to hear it! I grew up in that area—the sky and clouds used to be so beautiful there.
God, this was good! Straight up physics porn 🙂 Thank you Ulrike & Solari

Catherine, I have to ask you/Ron Kirby for your take on the apparently accelerating banking system liquidity crisis.
My suspicion is that the Fed HAS to keep the banks from bidding for deposits by offering higher rates. In other words, it cannot let rates normalize via bank supply/demand for liquidity, as it must “mitigate the risk of money market pressures that could adversely affect policy implementation”.
Also, I can’t help but suspect that the collateral for these repo operations is itself hyper-hypothecated. For instance, isn’t it highly likely that the SAME T-bill/notes are being pledged as collateral for cash by many different banks?
I know Kirby thinks it may be “all about bad energy loans” that cannot be repaid, which also makes sense as part of this giant mess.
Just trying to synthesize the scope of what in my mind is a mute – but giant – crisis.
Any comments thoughts you might have are greatly appreciated.
Will address in Money & Markets tonight.
