I was interviewed on Coast to Coast Am Radio last night. As is sometimes the case, we were unable to publicize this interview — I was flying home when they called me.

I discussed several of my earlier blog posts on the show and thought it would be helpful to list them here. You may also want to provide comments. Members of the listening audience often do.

  • The Slow Burn
  • Statement From G-20 Summit: In English
  • The Military Holds the Dollar Up
  • Dillon Read and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits
  • Positioning Your Assets for Growth in Uncertain Times

    • Whenever possible, we will try to publicize upcoming radio interviews in advance.

    1. I recently did Coast to Coast with Art Bell and got a variety feedback. I asked permission to post this one….

      Greetings Catherine –

      I’ve listened to you on Coast to Coast a number of times, but last evening
      with Art Bell was perhaps the most insightful and honest representation of the
      truth that I have heard anyone in the financial industry ever express,
      describing the state of affairs we are witnessing, and what is to come.

      When you spoke of the value of community, and the corruption of HUD and the
      narcotics underground fueling various clandestine projects that would
      otherwise never be supported by public means, that rang out loud and clear, as I have
      seen this myself, up close and personal.

      I remember with crystal clarity to this very day the details of the
      Iran-Contra Gate debacle, the testimony of Ollie North, and the vast amounts of
      cocaine that was flooding into the cities here in California, the funds of which
      went straight into the coffers of the various “black ops” missions in Central
      and South America.

      I have not forgotten those times, and the horrific damage that we witness to
      this very day as the direct outcome of such operations.

      A friend of mine who served in the Marine Corp, and then a decade with the
      San Jose police dept. uses a term, “moral courage”, to describe individuals
      who have demonstrated courage and dedication to service above and beyond the
      call of duty.

      I would say that you have more than demonstrated such.

      Considering the scale and scope of the economic treason committed by these
      corporate carpet baggers that are now looting the treasury and doing the
      planetary “pump and dump” as you describe. it is amazing that anyone would dare to
      be so consistent with their determination to bring truth to the general
      public, in a way that anyone could understand.

      But this you have done, and continue to do.

      I wish I could afford to do more, but at the very least, I wanted to offer
      thanks, and recognition for your unique example of “moral courage”

      In every sense of the word, you have the right stuff

      Thank you

    2. Catherine, I enjoyed your comments regarding the auto bailout – unfortunately, you were on for such a short period of time that I was unable to call in.

      Here’s my main fears regarding, and why I oppose, a bailout for the automobile industry (or for anyone, for that matter):

      1. A bailout creates a psychological expectation that, no matter what you do, you’ll be bailed out, so you can take as many risks as you want, or engage in whatever bad behavior you choose.

      2. The money will not go just for paying down existing debt and help the auto industry get back on its feet, but will also go towards paying huge bonuses and “golden parachutes” for auto company executives who were responsible for getting the auto companies in the mess in the first place.

      3. Despite any sort of money the auto companies will get from the government, there will be layoffs – and those layoffs will happen at the bottom of the ladder, affecting those least able to financially survive a layoff. Nothing will happen to the executives that not only perpetuated the failure, but get paid much more than the average laid-off worker and would be in a much better position to weather a layoff.

      Why aren’t we laying off those responsible for the failed policies and programs of not only automakers, but investment bankers and others who are not only wealthy beyond the dreams of the average person, but stand to enrich themselves tremendously at taxpayer expense? Instead, every company seems to want to start at the bottom of the ladder, punishing those who had no input and no decision-making authority and letting those responsible for the failures make huge amounts of money at the expense of others.

    3. Catherine. Love you and George on C2C.
      I am in Canada wondering, What is going to happen to Canada? We just do not have the same bank system as USA or do we. And, YIKES Our dollar!!! What a big drop in value. Our PM is going to start bail outs and I have no idea what needs bailing out in Canada (yet). Last year was a banner year for car sales and so on…

      Could you help shed some light on what is most likely going to happen to your neighbors up North. Is CAD going to continue the fall as the US dollar takes a licking but keeps on ticking? Help me. I’m on my knees begging for a few works about Canada. Thanks, Jaime

    4. Bob — one of the tools that meets the criteria you listed is Ripplepay. It lets people extend credit to members of their trust network, just like a bank would do but at the individual level; the credit is repaid according to however the individuals decide, whether in dollars, time, by barter, in gold, or whatever. Very promising technology.

    5. I have heard you a number of times on C2C. I think that you should, with the help of C2C listeners, and anyone else who has had their retirement savings deeply depleated as I have only in these last few months, SUE all the suspects involved! This includes the greedy, ever-demanding-more-and-more-money-for-doing-less-and-less-work unionized at GM, Chrysler, Ford, Canadian governments, U.S. governments, UAW leadership, CAW leadership, CEO’s of Chrysler, CEO’s of Ford, CEO’s of GM, Bernanke, Paulson, Bush, “illuminati”, hedge fund managers world-wide, etc., etc! My savings have, at their lowest point in only the last few months, dropped 50%! As of this writing, the drop is about 40%. How about something like a class action lawsuit – worldwide! Whaddya say?!

    7. Dear Catherine:
      I listened to you last night on Coast to Coast AM. I had to stay up and listen to the very end. You are so calm and so smart about what is truly happening and has been happening in our country. I had heard of the Illuminati, the Bilberberger’s, the One World Order/New World Order probably for the first time back in 1996,when a friend mentioned it me. But, I never really had the time or motivation to study it until this summer, when I decided to try to live on my Social Security. Another friend told me a few years ago about the North American Union too and how President Bush had signed it in without a vote from Congress or the people. Then this summer I just began keying into the Wikipedia all this stuff and found out alot about it and who is connected with it. I’ve learned so much about it and have been sharing with my friends but they are sort of blinded and dull of mind right now and don’t want to find out much about it as I do. I am also a believer in bible prophecy and have been connecting the dots as this unfolds.
      I think it has escalated big time with the announcement of the Paulson Bail-out. It seems that much more light has been shown upon the truth of what is being done to us, since then. I think to President Bush is finishing his assignment as fast as he can before he leaves office. The timing is ripe for their plans to be implemented, so they are taking advantage of it. I was so happy to hear you too know as much and more than I do about it, but at least I now know others are aware and I don’t feel so nuts! Your calm speaking voice has calmed me down too. Your insights as to why they had to do it, to cover up the fraud, made more sense. I even wrote to my Senator in Michigan and told her no on the Bail-out, its a Coup de tat….!!!! She wrote back and of course did not mention the Coup de Tat but only that she did not vote for it and did not agree with it.
      She does want the bail out for the auto workers however. Did you know that the 100,000 retire’s that the UAW is managing their health insurance and they want part of the bail out money to cover them, well it is for all executive salaried retirees! Not the factory worker! Again for the rich and for the big bonus for the UAW President!
      I have a question I wanted to ask you tho and I couldn’t get through on Coast to Coast Am to ask it. How much does our country collect in Taxes per year? I ask because I went to a meeting in Petoskey, Mi., 2001 and a middle aged man and I can’t remember his name but he had a PH.D in Tax Law. 200 people showed up at the high school. He told us in this meeting that since GEO.H.Bush has been president that our country has collected each year $20 Trillion dollars. So, since 1980’s our country collects that much in taxes each year. He told us that they only put $5 Trillion into the government’s budget to run our government and the $15 Trillion left over is suppose to go to all the Federal Banks to be loaned out to the taxpayers at a very low interest,e.g 2%, for us to buy houses,cars,college with. He told us it’s our money to use,it might even be a constitutional law, we gave it to them. He said do you know how much money that is? That’s alot of money. He said, the Social Security debt is @$2Trillion right now, which that was in a trust and they were not to use it. And they could pay that debt off in day with some of that $20 Trillion dollars. Instead, do you know where your hard earned dollars go from your slave wage….it goes overseas to pay off Dictators,to build other countries up, to feed other countries, to give free health care to other countries. Is this true? And is this why we have wars too, to make money, to get more power over other peoples. He also said that actually we don’t need to pay taxes. That the law in 1954 was amended the same day. And that our wages are not to be taxed. The tax law was only refering to any manufacturer who had a business in Washington D.C. However, he warned once you signed that IRS tax form, which is actually an executive order…you are telling them you are acturally giving them your taxes. And having signed it, if you don’t pay taxes you will be put in prison, or have a tax lien on your house or wages. And once we signed the first one we can never default, unless of couse we had him as a our tax lawyer. And employer will not pay us either unless we have them take out taxes. He also said that something about our names are all in caps on the W-2 forms,but I don’t remember what he said about that. Something about us being a business not a worker, cuz they can’t tax a wage earner. Something like that. However, he advocated a flat tax of @ 10%, which he said, like China has done, and they are debt free. He said even judges or IRS employees don’t know the law…..they think they do but they don’t. I”ve read the law and he is right, but there is no way to get out of paying our taxes, and I wouldn’t want to try. But, the point I am making here, is that also in regards to the bail out….do you suppose that with the millions of illegals in our country who don’t pay taxes and with the job loss that our government is not getting the $20 Trillion anymore. And for all these years have been confiscating it for the Elitist for their greedy gain and power? I assume they do not have to tell us how much they acturally have been collecting, they only have to tell us how much they have allocated for the Federal Budget. True? As a woman who has worked all my life since I was 16yrs old, in my profession I have made less than a man and the men I know my age,of course, have bigger social security checks than I do. AS a woman I have always paid more for my health insurance, my clothes,my haircuts,gipped on buying new cars, on and on. AS a single person, I have always paid more taxes than a married person too. There has never been a person to bail me out, or help me get through one more month. A single woman couldn’t even buy a house without a male co-signer until 1983! And we couldn’t get a credit card til then either! Then they inflated houses so much that I never could afford the area I wanted to live in.
      Well,enough of my pity party, but I would like to know if its true that our govenment has been giving our tax money to the Rockefellas, the Rothchilds and the Bush family all these years!
      I think we deserve a pay back! We should ask for a year of Jubilee and have them cancel all of our debts and let us start over! I am thankful that we have you to ask questions to. Oh one more thing.
      How will the government begin to “de-populate”? In a way aren’t they already by allowing 50 million people go without health insurance? Emotionally,and psychologically by bailing out the rich and not the working class. By sending our young men to wars. By allowing 1.5 million infants to be aborted. By giving our children 6 immunizations at one month of age, that contain mercury and causes autism and brain damage. By allowing China to lace our food with Melanmine and lead in the kids toys. By allowing our own government to dump toxic waste on the farmers tobacco fields. Increasing the risk of cancer, while the government has a place to dump it, the farmer makes money on it and the doctors make money on the cancer….to its a win win for them…and here in Michigan they charge $2.00 Sin Tax on each pack! $15 Billion a year is collected on cigarette and alcohol taxes! Their ban on smoking is working I suppose, for them! What a sick society this is…..what a pitiful bunch of evil Elitist’s. Well, this is all for now….I’m getting depressed! LOL
      Thank-you and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

    8. Subject: understanding economic terrorism
      Title: what happened to the diversity in America?

      Let us look at a little known part in America, that has been used for some time, but little light has ever been shed on the subject. When we hear about it, we don’t give it a second thought but it’s time that we look at this sanctioned dirty part of America. To determine if this national program has been hijacked by the talibomb. They talk about hitting the skin head, the hate monger in the wallet to silence him and we think nothing of it, we find ourselves so disgusted with the hate monger we turn a blind eye. But if we really think of what this entails and who is making these decision and is their another side to the story? With their lies and propaganda we are suppose to believe that Thomas Edison stole the light bulb, isn’t that what the illegal drug users do? But when they are running the pot smokers broke, denying the basic science and facts that Americans are not genetically different than Canadians – in Canada there are 1200 people with medical necessity to smoke, in America there are less than 30. We need to find out who these people are that are running us broke sabotaging us at work, at school ,at home, emotionally socially ,physically and find out why they are making excuses for ignoring the will of the people stealing cars from the handicap, attacking scoliosis and cancer patients. Are you sure they are not using financial terrorism on the blacks to promote their racists’ agenda? On the heterosexuals to promote their gay agenda? if we turn a blind eye and accept the fact that they are free to use financial terrorism on the smoker, the beer drinker then we are giving up our freedom and handing it over to a secret organization to create misfortune and profit endlessly as they work to silence the Berkley subversive or the environmentalist who wants to bring us cheaper fuels. Although it’s easy to turn a blind eye when they admit they are going to use financial terrorism to sabotage the ex-convict or felon or in the case of Americas past, destroying all the buffalo and nature to bring the Indians to their knees. We have to look to see if we really want America to stand for what these terrorist decide. Do we really want to say it’s not how hard you work in America its whether or not you meet their approval? Case in point don’t try to tell me it’s not how hard an America works that he can never make a building safe for a smoker and non smoker to peacefully coexist, show me your science or show me your bible, I’m not going to give up our freedom to these terrorist. Whatever happened to the world famous gas light square Mick Jaeger (rolling stones) sang about, do you really believe that they were just bad money managers and all the immoral women just decided to join the 700 club? We need to put a stop to this type of financial terrorism waged against our citizens, even if we find some of them objectionable. For if we don’t you or me may be the next one who doesn’t fit their phony morality. We stand in the way of these terrorist seizing absolute tyrannical controls over us for their profit driven motives. They want to destroy our country our freedom, what our forefathers fought and died for, for their wallets. End financial terrorism once and for all, for disaster economics is no longer just for the individual as we saw in New Orleans, but what will you do if you are next. Read more in the book titled

    9. Catherine,
      I caught your interview on C2C last night and I was struck with the clarity of your discussions on what’s really happening. I checked out your website and blog this morning and watched your google video from the barter convention. I must say your ideas about community channels, building networks of trust, the potential of social networking, and decentralizing capital flows resonated with me. Just for myself, I can see that I have been an island to myself for too long. I hardly know my neighbors. Thats going to change now.
      This year I have put in a large garden at my house. I’ve never gardened before. I have been stockpiling food and essentials. I bank with the local credit union. But I’ve been troubled lately because I can see the pain on main street, I know it will be here for a while, but don’t know what I can do about it.
      Your video gave me an idea that if people had a social networking based way of obtaining the goods and services they need in exchange for goods or services they have or can provide, with focus on their local community, in a way that transcends the tribal or faith based networks, and promotes building networks of trust – this could be useful. Kinda like ebay but local market focused, cashless, and free to use; I can see a social imperative for something like this and, as a professional programmer, I’ve decided its a worthy project to pursue. For sure, a higher moral ground than investing in treasuries propped up at the point of our guns. I will send along a link when I get my site up.
      and thanks for doing C2C on about 2 hours of sleep. Just wanted you to know it reached me (and others I am sure).
      Regards,
      Bob T.
