By Catherine Austin Fitts

This week, we begin the publication of our 2022 Annual Wrap Up. Dr. Joseph P. Farrell joins me for Part I of News Trends & Stories; we will continue with Part II the following week.

In Part I, Dr. Farrell and I focus on the top 20 stories as well as what we have come to call “Bizarro World” headlines (particularly creepy stories, often designed to distract you and waste your time). Follow along on the web presentation; the link will be in your subscriber links when Part I publishes.

Here are our picks for the top 20 stories:

  1. The financial coup and the Going Direct Reset
  2. The Great Poisoning accelerates: “We are staring down the barrel of a mass atrocity”
  3. Department of Defense and their contractors: the war on us
  4. The proposed WHO coup
  5. More push for total control
  6. The petrodollar loses its “petro”
  7. War in Ukraine and the expansion of NATO
  8. The end of cheap money: a farewell to bubbles
  9. Whither the Anglo-American alliance: the reign of Queen Elizabeth II ends
  10. The productivity rebellion
  11. Jan. 6 Committee: the domestic terrorist trick bombs again
  12. Growth of the space-based economy
  13. BRICS continue to move toward currency alternatives
  14. China: Xi Jinping consolidates power
  15. Digital TV and smartphones are the most successful weapons of our day
  16. Democrats hold U.S. Senate in defiance of all exit polls
  17. Weird weather: droughts, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes
  18. FBI pays rich social media companies to censor taxpayers—using taxpayers’ money
  19. IRS proposes to hire more IRS agents than all U.S. tax preparers
  20. Glorious pushback all year long—and rising

In Part II, Dr. Farrell and I will review what these stories and trends mean to you in the context of your daily lives and work during 2023 using our Building Wealth framework.

The theme for the 2022 Annual Wrap Up is “Pharma Food,” a trend that includes lab-grown meat and synthetic food. This will require all of the pushback each of us can muster—starting with ongoing, committed support for our local farmers and fishermen—if we wish to retain access to food that is healthy, fresh, and real.

After publishing the two parts of News Trends & Stories, we will continue with my final Equity Overview for 2022. The following week, I will talk with Dutch new media journalist Elze van Hamelen. I asked Elze to investigate and write Pharma Food; the final Wrap Up will feature her elegant and comprehensive write-up of her unsettling findings.

Recognizing that each person’s circumstances are unique, we hope, as always, that our discussion will guide you toward solutions, helping you determine actions you can take and tactics that are right for you.

Money & Markets

In Money & Markets this week, John Titus and I will cover the latest events and continue to discuss the financial and geopolitical trends we are tracking in 2023—and the growing pushback against corruption. Post questions at the Money & Markets commentary here.

  1. Thanks, Dr. Farrell, for the book recommendation: The Mouse That Roared by Wibberley. I tracked it down at my local library and just finished it. Hilarious. Poignant. Wonderfully done. My sincerest appreciation to you, sir.

  2. 2:36:25) Not only are Chinese police stations permitted in the US but, as you might have heard by now, they are permitted to have a “spy balloon” traverse US skies all the way through to Montana. That is curious. It was finally “brought down” but now what? It appears that it was photographing the US terrain – perhaps for the US (otherwise it wouldn’t have been allowed) — possibly to target areas in the future for one reason or another. China first “apologized” but now the media says Xi is challenging the US decision. The whole thing makes no sense….yet.

  3. 2:31:27) re: China — China is different now. The economy has raised up a middle class and the middle class have been awakened and want it to stay that way. They have suffered long under Mao. And the elites want Xi to hold up China.

  4. Catherine, listening to your story many times of how you almost went to prison but for the grace of your witness, here’s a story of a family I knew where this brother wasn’t so lucky, and he had a federal judge to back him up, to no avail. It’s quite an earful about how the justice system was set up in 1967. Katherine Watt should add this to her liturgy.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPvfi-Je97o

    1. Addendum: He and his wife divorced, a family torn asunder, and he left the US for good.

  5. 2:03:11) Joseph is absolutely correct. Oil is not a fossil fuel and is a “Rockefeller narrative” created in order to charge high prices. Oil is plentiful on earth, second only to water.

  6. 2:13:11) I found this rare video only 54 secs that appears to be something Joseph Farrell might know about from his research. It’s been deleted from other channels. Does anyone know anything about this?
    https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x37pjt3

    Although the video speaks for itself, the research I did only brought up this unknown woman who walks through the event and adds some additional information.
    https://www.bitchute.com/video/tRZf52Au1Ft7/

  7. No way to know if it is real or not. IMO it could be. I believe some if not all of the towers double as a weapons system.

    1. Catherine, that was quick! You already read my comment. Yes it’s a strange video indeed.

  8. 1:45:58) I think I mentioned this before, but the patent for the Disney brand characters expires this year 2023. They go into public domain.

  9. 1:39:24 Regarding “King” Charles reign, Qu Eliz made a rule before she died that no monarch could rule past age 70. Charles only has a few years left and then William takes over.

  10. Re: the clip at 1:07:50 of the Slovak parliament Ukraine flag stunt, it’s hilarious that it takes them so long to realize they’re holding the flag upside-down. Ironically, that seems more appropriate (though I would argue for reasons other than those two political stunt people would suggest) when you consider what an upside-down flag represents.

    Interestingly, the clip is not of recent vintage. Reuters has a “fact check” on it, see here: https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-slovakia-ukraineflag/fact-check-video-of-opposition-slovak-lawmakers-pouring-water-on-ukrainian-flag-predates-russian-invasion-idUSL2N2VS2H3

    1. That clip was so good I had to watch it again, and noticed the guy getting his face diaper yanked off at the very end! LMAO, priceless!

    2. Benjamin – Thanks for posting. I can only imagine how irate the Slovakians are now.

  11. Catherine, please provide a link to the TABLE OF IMPORTANT STORIES. Thank you. I don’t see how to get to it as discussed (2:45) in the video on your website. It would have been convenient if you had provided a link below the Wrap-Up. You only listed earlier wrap-up videos there.

      1. Caroline:

        Every Wrap Up has a web presentation. You can link to them from the commentary with the interview in it. Each web presentation has a News Trends & Stories in the Navigation bar with all the information for the interview with Joseph within it.

        Catherine

      2. Yep, I found it by pausing the video and hand-jamming the URL into the search bar. Excellent resource!

    1. You may not have clicked into the full website. that is when the chart comes up and the graphics are fine.

  12. It was interesting to hear you speak of the true motivation underlying the war: actually stealing the etheric body. That’s exactly it! As you and others have pointed out, this is a spiritual war. The enemy’s goal is to harness or steal our spirits and life force, and everything they do has that as the true motivation. So many sources of information about this war cultivate fear, and that is exactly what weakens us. And that is why your work is so good and so effective because it cultivates love, happiness, generosity and human agency over fear – and I want to thank you for that. I’m new here at Solari and love it so far. The wrap up is excellent – thank you.

  13. There is good news and bad news and this annual report for me. They’re both contained in the following statement: I have been pretty right with my periodic comments. It’s also gratifying to see that we are finally getting around to confirming the performance of the Biden/Obama administration. We have been very tough on the performance of Donald Trump, whereas the classroom dunce has been Joe Biden, even if, as is likely, it is the overrated Barack Obama in the background whispering into his ear. Obama was always credited with superhuman intelligence, but the reality is he’s probably in the 75th percentile or so. Just another puppet.

    I’m glad to see we are openly recognizing the nexus between Zionism and the Ukraine matter. It has been obvious to me for the duration of the recent conflict. Also obvious is that the permission for Russia to invade and annex the Crimea during the Obama administration makes very clear what the settlement of the conflict will be. Why are we there wasting time, money and lives on this useless fighting? I suppose you are correct that it is to create new infrastructure on top of demolishing the outdated existing conditions. We might further speculate that Israel, per se, is now less critical as a war zone, if its base of operations is moved to Ukraine.

    With regard to reserve currency, I will reiterate that the physical expansion of circulating dollars around the world has done a great deal to mitigate what would otherwise be overwhelming inflation, because in places where there is no sovereign currency, it is a ready exchange medium, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. I believe it will be very difficult to replace this with any other physical currency. Thus, fears of petrodollars versus petroyuan are largely overrated. There is a disruption in the world exchange of energy these days, but unlike the inflation that Biden said would be temporary, but isn’t, the fungibility of oil will overtake its political difficulties that currently abide.

    I was gratified to hear you and Joseph reflect that China is not historically a military aggressor, but I do think that the US may rattle the saber over Taiwan a bit more as Ukraine winds down. It’s very clear to me that the WEF and its captured governments around the world would like to fight everybody that stands in the way of their fantasy of world domination. Unfortunately for their plans, highly populous worlds in the eastern hemisphere won’t go for it. I think the US population, as you have said, is ready to stand up against the tyranny.

    I contend that the usefulness of Trump is not in the wonderfulness of his character (or in him having passed some purity test about the vax), but in his ability to swing the votes of the proletariat to the eventual candidate. It could certainly come with the potential for a family member of his being on the ticket. I do think that DeSantis is a good character presently, but he has not withstood the wrath of the mass media so far. In fact, they seem to have enjoyed his rise in popularity, perhaps as a counter to Trump. I think Trump would have to throw his support towards DeSantis when the convention in 2024 comes around. It’s best to keep DeSantis clean in the meantime. Trump can continue to be a lightning rod for abuse by the media.

    Last, and you have not come to it yet in the first half of the year in review, but Hero of the Year for me is Whitney Webb, a late entrant whose books, One Nation Under Blackmail, Volumes One and Two plainly indicate a very clear trend as to who, after all benefits as a group from all the organized crime we have seen in the past 100 years. Hint: it’s not the Italians, whose ethnicity has popularly been made synonymous with organized crime by the media…

  14. The info provided in this conversations with Joseph is far too important for people to hear, and they won’t unless you make it available free. I’m able to afford membership, but the others i know, hard-working, caring, thinking activist oriented are not able to afford membership. Please, please make it possible for us (members) to share or make it available free in your coming soon free subscribed. PLEASE! thank you, jan in eugene oregon.

    1. Janice:

      If I make the content free, how would I pay our team and fund the infrastructure? Then I would have to shut Solari down.

      Please feel free to have a Solari meeting and play Part I for activists who can benefit. I have used this material to brief the CHD and D4CE town halls.

      Hope that helps,

      Catherine

  15. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was the Lutheran Pastor in Germany to whom the quote (“First they came for…”) was attributed, Reinhold Niebuhr was a Congregational Pastor in the US. Pastor Niebuhr’s (arguably) most famously quoted work is known as “the serenity prayer”. Eric Metaxas wrote a worthwhile biopic about Bonhoeffer. I’m glad that this community does not serenely accept that which they can change!

  16. Hey, Joseph…Cunard will let you cross the Atlantic with Shiloh. You both deserve the luxury of a crossing.

  17. You and I and many people have wondered how it was possible to execute such a drastic lockdown of Australia during the Covid plandemic. My 22-year-old grandson just returned from a visit to Melbourne and Brisbane, and among my first questions to him was about the entire country’s recent lockdown. He said there are only six states and two territories in all of Australia, making the logistics of civilian control relatively easy. The population of the entire country is upwards of 26 million people, just four million or so more than the state of Florida. That’s not many people spread across that vast subcontinent. Also, his libertarian opinion is that Australians are culturally submissive, certainly more so than Americans.

    1. As an Australian I’m embarrassed to agree with the sentiment that Australians are culturally submissive. We’ve had it easy for a long time and sadly most people credit the government for that. I’m thankful I wasn’t in Victoria and also not in a major city.

      1. Wow. That surprises me given Australia’s history. I guess every country gets squishy soft like spoiled brats eventually. Makes the quote by Michael Hopf “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times” spot on.

  18. I’m a real estate developer in Los Angeles CA, – most of the increase in lumber prices was not caused by an increase in the money supply but supply chain issues from the covid lock downs. Suppliers couldn’t get lumber so the prices of everything they had on hand was bid up. The decrease in lumber prices was not from the increase in rates, but an opening of the supply chain once the lock downs ended. That is why lumber came down so much in price. It seems the lock downs, war in Ukraine and destruction of food processing plants has caused the massive increase in prices, and the cover story is increase in money supply, while it is actually “supply destruction”. If Mr Global is destroying supply to create inflation so he can have cover to increase interest rates and blame it on money supply, shortly after disaster loans went out to every business at 3.75% for 30 years unsecured, It seems they are trying to create an economic cataclysm and loan borrowers are earning a premium on their borrowed money while they wait for the collapse so they can buy everything up for pennies.

    1. Conor, off-topic but greetings from Fullerton, a short drive to the south from LA. I subscribed only recently, looking to link up with other subscribers in the area. Are you a member of any of the CA Solari Circles?

  19. Story 9:
    Joseph talks about the possibility of an increased role of royalty.

    Many of the leading members of royal families are part of the WEF’s Young Global Leaders Program including
    Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden,
    King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands,
    Queen Maxima of the Netherlands,
    Crown Prince Haakon of Norway,
    Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway,
    Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark,
    Crown Princess Mary of Denmark,
    Queen Mathilde of Belgium,
    Prince Jaime de Bourbon Parme,
    Princess Akishino of Japan,
    Princess Mabel van Oranje of the Netherlands,
    Alois Prince of Liechtenstein,
    Queen Rania of Jordan,
    Prince Bandar Bin Khalid Al Faisal of Saudi Arabia,
    Prince Mohammed K.A. Al Faisal of Saudi Arabia, and
    Prince Zeid Raad Al-Hussein Jordan.

    Story 10:
    Speaking of Disney, I understand that for almost a decade Disney has been bribing Congress to keep extending their copyright on Mickey Mouse.

    https://www.wionews.com/opinions-blogs/how-disney-routinely-exerted-influence-on-the-us-copyright-law-to-keep-its-greatest-asset-mickey-mouse-549141

    https://artrepreneur.com/journal/mickey-mouse-keeps-changing-copyright-law/

    Disney’s copyright on Mickey Mouse is expiring this year. I have not heard if Disney has already been able to the the copyright extend yet again or if they are not even bothering, being more concerned with LGBT issues.

    “There us no energy market; there’s just energy politics.”
    Speaking of energy, there is an interesting story concerning an American inventor, Stanley Meyer, who back in the 1970s developed a car motor which would take you from California to New York on 20 gallons of water. He was offered a huge sum of money for his patent but he refused. He met with some investors, they offered him a drink of cranberry juice, he collapsed, claiming he was poisoned and he died. His workshop was later robbed and his car stolen, never to be found again.

    1. Thanks for the comment about royalty. Keep an eye on the color purple appearing in various places, including resistance people with 95% helpful content that are incentivized or forced to carry dual-message content that is signaled with purple, https://thenewamerican.com/revelation-of-the-method/

      “Buried deep within their rule of law is a hidden constitution that holds that nothing happens without your consent. In this version of contract law, once the truth is hidden in plain sight, you have agreed to it. There exists someplace an unsigned contract with your unsworn oath on it.”

      If Rip van Winkle awoke in 2022 and skimmed the last few years of newspaper headlines, he would observe a tsunami of public-trust-destroying headlines about public and private institutions. If this is intended to lay the groundwork for replacement institutions, whether state, national, regional or global, are our choices limited to WEF or centuries-old “aristocracy” oligarch bloodlines?

      “On February 28, 1297, the Doge Pietro Gradenigo suggested that from that date onwards only the members of the families who had been present in the assemblies of the four previous years should be admitted to the council. The proposal, opposed by many at first, was approved, and had a gradual application, by virtue of which the Greater Council increased the raw statistical number of its members, but at the same time blocked the number of families that could be represented.

      … In order to qualify for the highest positions of the state it was required a genealogical and blood purity of origin, kinships of importance in the Government of the Republic and also the highest levels of rent indexed in the census of Venice. In order to maintain this situation of privilege, the main noble families of Venice, except in a few cases, did not contract unions between them.”

      Gigi Young has some videos on the historical, occult importance of bloodline purity and how this was changed by the arrival of Christ. In summary, “We don’t need no stinkin’ bloodlines”. Culture? Yes. Bloodlines? No. https://www.invidious.baczek.me/watch?v=u8WbLU958Lg

  20. Catherine, thank-you for walking us through navigating the “PHARMA FOOD” online publication;(it’s really nice when it works). HIGHLY–recommend accessing the “PHARMA FOOD” online-interfaced publication–(when it works). I successfully accessed it–earlier in the day by clicking its illustration by happenchance -(but! couldn’t access it afterward); recommend placing a 3-parallel-lines–proverbial hamburger-icon on the “PHARMA FOOD” illustrated cover-page [in the upper-right corner -when- a cover-page’s link is activated].

  21. As a new subscriber, but a long time listener of your interviews with Greg Hunter, I enjoyed your tete-a-tete with Dr. Farrell. Thank you for bringing his insights and historical depth of field into the conversation of current events.

    One of the discussion topics at the end mentioned “Strong Towns”.. one of my go to thinkers on that subject is Jim Kunstler. I would love to hear a good interview with him on this site. His perspectives on the bigger cities is very similar to yours on the fate of smaller towns—infrastructure woes. I think he holds out hope for smaller towns.

    My family grew up in Jackson, MS and if you keep up with the news, that municipality just received a 700+ million dollar federal grant to ‘begin’ to deal with their water system’s decrepitness. The federal appointee overseeing the project commented in an interview that one of the issues facing the city is getting citizens to pay their utility bills. On the water front, they are considering basing the water bills on the real estate tax bill rather than the amount of water used. At this point the infrastructure cost so overshadows the actual water usage cost it ‘makes sense’ to try that approach. Socialize the losses is the go to solution these days.

    Anyway, I hope you can bring James Kunstler on for a good head to head on the subject.

  22. Great show as always by Catherine and Joseph. The intake I learn from it is priceless.

  23. Wonderful Wrap Up as always! I also just watched Catherine’s interview with Derrick Broze. Would Catherine be so kind to share what brand of iodine & castor oil packs she uses? Thanks in advance!

  24. I believe one of the best documentaries on Central Banks is called
    “The Money Masters – How International Bankers took Control of America”
    as it describes how the banks crash the economy to pick up real assets on the cheap as mentioned in above interview with Joseph here. Explains the Central Banking System and the Issuance of Currency. After watching you will know more about this subject than 99.5% of the population.

  25. Listened twice. Europe is still on target being a fabulous snack for the tapeworm, so I am looking forward to the “state of amusement” part. I doubt the tapeworm Royalty will be subsidising new Rembrandts and or Mozarts any time soon. However, I think they will be busy dividing all museum pieces currently strewn over Europe before they flee. So, enjoy all culture marvels still on display before it is all gone tomorrow.

  26. As a kid I used to play with plastic food just like on the cover. What a strange nostalgia trip to see it on a solari magazine. As always, wonderful conversation. Hearing Catherine and Joseph laugh while Mr global goes insane lifts my spirits

  27. You have illustrated synthetic food perfectly! lol Yuck! Your graphics are always spot on! This one made my stomach turn…I can’t wait to read this while standing in line or waiting at various places…I know the image alone will start up many conversations, similar to the horse syringe and the washing machine. This has inspired me (or frightened me) into baking our gluten free bread again. ; ) God Bless, Jen
