“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.” ~ Robert Fulghum
By Catherine Austin Fitts
I got lucky right before the U.S. elections. I discovered CJ Hopkins after reading The Covidian Cult and ordered his books. While the U.S. elections proceeded in a manner that could have broken the strongest of heart and mind, I was able to maintain a state of amusement. Instead of listening to the corporate “shriek-o-meter,” I was reading CJ Hopkins’ The War on Populism: Consent Factory Essays, Vol. II (Review here).
I laughed so hard every night that week, I literally started to worry about what the neighbors might think.
CJ Hopkins is a successful playwright, a novelist, and now an astute essay writer whose insights into our human condition will warm your heart and remind you that we are never alone. Sanity is indeed available just around the corner.
I invited Hopkins to join me on The Solari Report so that our subscribers could meet him, get to know him, and plug into his work. This is an inspiring conversation with a very inspiring man.
In Let’s Go to the Movies this week, check out one of my favorite comedies from next week’s Blast from the Past: Waking Ned Devine.
There is no Money & Markets this week. If you have questions for Ask Catherine, please email or post them in the Money & Markets commentary for December 3rd here.
For US Subscribers, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! The Solari team is giving thanks for your presence in our lives.

Had to chuckle at the beginning of the interview, hearing the confusion @ University of Miami, aka, UM, being in Boca Raton. Nope…folks in “Boca” have their own high quality University in Boca known as Florida Atlantic University, aka, FAU. Excellent, quality University in s suburban environment. I earned a few Certificate programs there. So, folks in Boca would have no need to leave Boca for attending a quality University when they got FAU right there in Boca. But UM also is excellent, …I went thru a Certicate program there too.Helps to speak Cubsn Spanish while in Miami, while helps to speak “New Yawker” English while in Boca. 🙂
Glad to hear it is not just me!
Excellent interview. CJ has a wonderful perspective. As you noted Catherine, his ability to maintain and share his sense of humor in the middle of this mess is fantastic. The compilations of his essays are refreshing and informative.
A word that has been used since ancient times for the ‘field’ or cult is egregore. Loosely, it’s the spirit/entity that is formed when people get together with a common goal. It is fed by our emotions and intent and the more this is done, the more independent the force field and power of the egregore grows. It’s an example of how we genuinely ‘create our own reality’. The Covidian cult is an excellent example.
I will be very curious to hear your, or anyone reading here’s perspective on Zone 23.
Its in the pile!

The subject of egregores is a fascinating one as it can exist in the dense material world to the intangible psychic world. But what is required egregores must be fed and nurtured.
Beings can appear as having a real existence due to a massive concentrated thoughts that have concentrated on them. Miracle at Fatima?
Egregor is a collective entity, could be a nation, a state, a religion, and a secret society. Look what happen to the Roman Empire when their gods and goddesses were replace by a new religion; the Empire collapse. Well actually the Empire morphed into a religious empire.
Egregores can inspire or enslave
I think we’re going to get a lot more ‘egregor-ish’ in 2021. Intentionally and unintentionally.
You delivered just what what the patients needed! We are heartened that small islands of sanity exist throughout the world and are becoming more and more inter-connected! Adding CJ Hopkins to our growing list of sane thought leaders!!!! Speaking to family, neighbors and friends about the COVIDIAN cult is not only daring but necessary and delicious!
🙂 State of amusement is the best defense against the cult incoherence and the shriek-o-meter!
After a long day of cooking for the only 2 relatives that bucked the “covid cult lockdown” that was burped up from King Newsom’s throne of lies, my 2 boys, 13 & 9 & my darling hubby, this interview was delightful! I can’t wait to read his articles & books! The stress of the masks which I refuse to wear or entertain as necessary has taken a toll on this Mom. As a BSN-RN I take my pledge seriously & will not promote the face diaper as safe to wear for long hours, dripping of sweat & spit after pulling it from a warm pocket or floor of the car! Although I am no longer work in a hospital due to my oldest son’s vax injury & my refusal to inject anyone with poison, I still am a “community nurse” volunteering/bartering for goods & services by working in home health & natural clinics. The loss of life from suicides & lockdown forced elder neglect is outrageous. It’s hard to remember joy at times. BUT…This interview made me smile & his website (had me rolling) is just what I needed to keep going with a positive yet slightly snarky attitude when dealing with covid cult members. Thank you Catherine, as a fairly new subscriber I can’t tell you how important your reports have made in my life. I never feel crazy, I am strong in my health knowledge & bullshit detector but it can get lonely in what feels like a remnant of what used to be my world, Solari helps keep me focused on the positive! God Bless! xo Jen
You are most welcome. Hopkins was a delicious find indeed!
humor will be essential to survival. or at least to keeping sane.
here is a humor based approach. instead of confronting carbon tax credit regime, argue that carbon regime doesn’t go far enough. what we need is an oxygen tax credit regime.
carbon and oxygen are reciprocal chemical processes of life. why should everyone have the right to use oxygen and produce carbon? oxygen should be earned. excessive talking of nonsense, ie consuming extra oxygen and producing carbon by speaking, needs to be controlled. speech needs to beassigned a value, so people with more useful things to say get more oxygen credits. those engaged in productive activities also get oxygen credits – but couch potatoes get less.
if you can calculate carbon production, you can calculate oxygen consumption. those with lower BMIs and better heart conditions will benefit. we can create social incentives to speak intelligently and with purpose, and to act productively and without waste.
furthermore, oxygen more closely approximates our debt based currency system. as soon as you start in this world, you are in a currency deficit and need to spend your whole life catching up. property taxes, sales taxes. why not an oxygen tax too?
if it is a truism that you need to earn your daily bread, why shouldn’t it be the case that you have to earn your daily breath too?
oh but that’s silly.. yet a carbon tax isn’t?
Lets see what the Climate Czar John Kerry can come up with while he is flying on his private plane back and forth to his beachfront property near Obama’s beachfront property.
now there’s a guy who would love an oxygen tax. also note his step son Chris Heinz of Heinz ketchup empire was partners in Rosemont Seneca with hunter. the dream team is back!
Unbelievable what Kerry has become. What happened?
Kerry is a bonesman and he is playing a part that was given to him. However he may want to look at his grandfathers clock (graduating gift Skull & Crossbones) and notice that the pendulum is starting to swing to the right and he may become irrelevant. In order to have time the pendulum has to swing back and forth and after swinging to hard left America may be on course to swing to the hard right. Wouldn’t it have been fascinating to be at the Teresa & John’s dinner table right after the Hunter’s laptop was made public.
I don’t think it is swinging to the right. I think that the general population is realizing that the rising inequality comes from organized crime through government and central banks engineered with taxpayers resources – not from talent, more education, technological innovation and creativity. They are ruminating on “What are we going to do about the Beck Brothers”
