1. Great summary of the 9 possible scenarios

   Almost 200 years ago Balzac wrote, “ll y a deux Histoires : l’Histoire officielle, menteuse qu’on enseigne, l’Histoire ” ad usum delphini ” ; puis l’Histoire secrète, où sont les véritables causes des événements, une histoire honteuse.”

   Roughly translated: There are two histories. There is the official, lying history that is taught – the expurgated history. Then there is the secret history, where the real causes of the events are – a shameful history.

   1. Smart man. 🙂

2. Catherine,
   There are a lot of things to comment on in this week’s installment, but let me focus this post on one thing: “We have succeeded in driving Iran into the arms of Russia.” Well, if it’s true, give Trump the Man of the Year award right now! Remember the graphic I shared to illustrate why you want to keep friends close and enemies closer? We just gave Russia the problem of Iran, freeing us for other things, like Fredo’s (not Cuomo’s) custody being put in the hands of Moe Green. Now he’s Moe’s problem, even if the Molinari Family from the West Coast guaranteed his safety. Whether or not we accept it, we have much common cause with Russia in the greater war to preserve history (even while we keep it hidden). Persians, but not Muslims, share this interest, and Putin is not hamstrung by an activist-oriented political environment.

   1. Agree we have much common cause with Russia. Question is whether or not you want to maintain reserve currency or not.

      1. That’s a fascinating question and ties into another thing I thought to comment on: China. First of all, I think we and the whole world need US to be reserve currency for the foreseeable future. Nobody else has the thoroughgoing systems to do it. A chief requirement is stability, something which no other provider can even hope to offer. So the choice is between a familiar devil and an unknown one. China may be pork-supine, but look what it did to its citizens IMMEDIATELY upon opening its stock markets to them. Wiped out just about everyone. In spite of a huge yen for face-saving in the culture, there doesn’t seem to be too much in the way of externally-facing probity built into Chinese financial handling. I cannot therefore see how it would really challenge to host the reserve currency.

         This is all not to say that, following FASAB 56, we are much better, but as indicated, the west has more extensive systems in place to create the illusion, if not the fact of financial reliability. I would say we keep this up until “they” decide that the conjectured dividends of exoplanetary investment can be revealed. It’s the only way a re-balancing could occur, short of the ‘zeroing out’ that would accompany civilizational obliteration, an option that I actually believe is undesired.

         1. I agree that one of the reasons it is important to reform the US federal credit is that many of the alternatives are far, far worse.

3. Hi Catherine,

   Just want to put in a plug for the 5g crisis summit: videos and transcripts now available at https://the5gsummit.com
   Looks like an excellent one-stop shop for beginning research, and answering questions about 5g. Speakers include: Robert F Kennedy Jr, Jason-Bawden Smith, Patrick Wood, James Corbett, Dr Dietrich Klinghardt, Dr Jack Kruze and Susan Manewich.
   Looks like the legal, financial, political, technical and medical aspects of 5g all get good coverage here.

   1. Yes. Great group. I have posted and tweeted. Thanks, Jack!

4. Hi Catherine,

   We came across a very interesting video by Gabriel Cruz about “Brainwaves & Extremely Low Frequency – Earth Grid – Mobile Phone Safety”. The 32-minute video walks through some fascinating FOIA docs and other information about entrainment.

   Wanted to share this in case others are interested:

   Many thanks to you and the Solari Team for the amazing work you do!

   1. Oh, good Look forward to watching!

5. What sort of time frame do we have on reserve currency status?
   And what are some actionable steps can we can take

   1. This is a military question. Who controls what invisible weaponry and what do they want? Could be 1 day – could be never depending on the answer. There is a major push to build a global cryptocurrency system through the central banks to create a total control grid. They are not ready to go yet. Meantime, Europe is pushing to build the Euro into a real alternative. Ditto China. They are not ready to go. So it is fluid. Either way as market share declines, the prices of most basic goods to dollar based economies go up steadily, quality of most basic goods declines, and controlled demolitions accelerate – making many people and enterprises unreliable generating lots of shadow work. All solutions require much higher learning metablisms and increasing resiliency. Look for every opportunity to ride the deflation curve in your expense budget as possible – given the problems of accessing fresh food – anything you can do to provide fresh food and water economically is valuable. As the decline accelerates we will see more attacks on the general population ala disaster capitalism and India/Pakistan conflict – it is called theft. The Tapeworm’s hunger accelerates. Breakthrough energy integration can back the process up – will it be allowed? Critical to end secrecy to make any real breakthroughs. Secrecy is the most expensive part of the developed world budget.

      1. Very insightful thank you.

         CFR Had an interesting post today

         https://www.cfr.org/report/keeping-our-edge/

         “Federal agencies and each of the military services should dedicate between 0.5 and 1 percent of their budgets to the rapid integration of technology. The heads of each agency should also hire a domain specialist deputy for fast-track technologies (for example, data sciences, robotics, and genomics) from outside the government for a two- to four-year assignment.

         Congress should establish a new service academy, the U.S. Digital Service Academy, and a Reserve Officer Training Corps for advanced technologies (ROTC-T) to foster the next generation of tech talent.

         Lifelong career paths should be complemented with more short-term, flexible options. The White House and Congress should bring people from the technology industry into all three branches of the government for temporary rotations. They should also develop new fellowships to encourage the circulation of technologists, military officers, and federal officials between the technology sector and the Defense Department.

         1. Our interview next week will describe the fact that over 50% of American children have chronic diseases. Hard to fill the pipeline if you are poisoning our children.

            1. I am so glad that you and Solari are addressing the issue of children’s health. I coached high school skiing for 19 years (just retired) and it seemed that there was a noticeable difference in the health of children over the past 20 years….allergies, asthma, diabetes…
               In reading information about generational changes (like the fourth turning), it seems it would be this generation of children growing right now who would lead the charge back after the “wheels fall of the bus.” But, are they healthy enough to do it? It’s a valid question.
               There are many heroes working on this…but, also many people not willing to look beyond official reality on this one. I guess this is the one issue where I push beyond what people are comfortable with….
               If not pushed back, there will come a time people will not remember that there was a time when children were mostly healthy and active. It’s almost already to the point that an inhaler is a normal part of childhood.

            2. Pretty frightening to me that you can get so many people acculturated to this. I would rather let go of official reality than my child.
