Enjoying the classical music intro and closing of these podcasts. Can you list the name of the composition of each piece in your podcasts? Is that Chopin in this particular podcast?
My goodness! Catherine you are the most wonderful and knowledgeable person I have ever known! The way information just flows so clearly when you speak on any subject. Thank you for being who you are. I appreciate you so very, very much. (And you have a beautiful voice)
Dear Catherine
You and John discussed how government issued money is free whereas central bank (debt based) money comes with interest. Does this mean that in a period where interest rates are zero (or even negative), central bank money comes with 0% interest i.e. it’s free?
To paraphrase John Titus’ question—Why do educated get duped by the Covid scam?—C.S. Lewis’ “That Hideous Strength” (which Dr. Farrell loves) says it best:
Miss Hardcastle-Of course we’re not political. The REAL power always is.
Mark-I don’t believe you can do that. Not with the papers read by educated people.
MH-That shows you’re still in nursery, lovey. Haven’t you realized that it’s the other way around?
M-How do you mean?
MH-Why, you fool, it’s the EDUCATED readers who can be gulled. All our difficulty comes from with the others. When did you meet a workman who believes the papers? He takes it for granted that they’re all propaganda and skips the leading articles…He is our problem: we have to RECONDITION him. But the educated public, the people who read the highbrow weeklies, don’t need reconditioning. They’re all right already. They’ll believe anything.
Great quote. Love Lewis.
I saw John’s presentation at Lake Geneva. Good but some was “above my pay grade.” Wondering if he would provide a reading list of his sources so I can try to grasp what I missed? Thanks!
I will as him to do a bibliography for the Annual Wrap Up.
From John Titus:
The one source to rule them all is Stephen Zarlenga’s the Lost Science of Money (2002). It’s a treatise-length treatment of money, however.
For the Cliff Notes version, this incredible little (114 pages) book is all you really need: Basic Principles of Constitutional Money (1940), by Etta M. Russell, who wrote it as a textbook for high school students, none whom, curiously, ever saw it.
I would also strongly recommend Alexander Del Mar’s History of Money in America (1899). It’s short (118 pages) and does a marvelous job (though not overtly) in destroying the notion that we need a gold-backed monetary system, as that’s exactly what was oppressing the colonists economically and caused them to use paper as money, which in turn infuriated the Crown and led directly to the Revolution.
Finally, I must mention Money Creators (1935), by Gertrude Margaret Coogan and Sen. Robert Owen. Coogan is a literary descendant of Catullus and pulls no punches. For the unvarnished particulars about bankers’ dirty tricks up through the Great Depression (which Coogan shows they intentionally caused), this is it.
There are of course loads of other books, but these latter three should do.
I have read and re-read the “Creature from Jekyl Island” about the creation of the FED and Fiat Monetary Policy. I must say I still don’t get it. Not that I don’t understand the mechanisms at work.. it’s just that every bit of my being feels as if as it is the most evil and unjust system ever. It’s in plain sight for everyone to see yet the common person averts their eyes from it.
Dear Catherine,
Although there was much in this commentary that is excellent, I do not think that Georg Cantor’s mathematics is a track worth following for you. I find it to be fallacious. This is discussed in my book, “The Nature of Infinitesimals.” For your interest, he was very influential in the thinking of Bertrand Russell. Cf, especially, the latter’s :”The Nature of Matter.”
Did not know about Cantor. Joseph’s mention was the first I heard of him. I am an investment banker, not an intellect. 🙂
“The corn does not listen to MSNBC” — my vote for quote of the year. My agricultural experience is limited to a small community garden and still this hits home.
Titus references del Mar calling (I assume) the 1666 Act for encourageing of Coynage the destruction of the royal prerogative of coinage. I just wanted to point out this coincided with the Great Plague of London in 1665-66. A fun fact I ran across by chance yesterday.
Likely not a coincidence….
you guys are both rock stars BTW.
if going direct means the fed bypassing the financial system and everyone getting a fedbucks card, what will this mean for banks, esp. those engaged in retail banking? how would such a restructuring work? will the US govt assume some retail banking responsibilities or outsource that to the chosen ones? assume we will see a culling of the small and mid size banks that usually mediate in transactions between US govt and citizens?
if you want to know where things are heading on many fronts, I think it’s worthwhile to observe what is happening domestically in China. in many ways the US policymakers are imitating Chinese policies.
this article relates to our tech policy which is imitating the great firewall of China approach:
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/09/26/tech/trump-china-tiktok-intl-hnk/index.html
but I expect this convergence to happen on several fronts, like digital yuan, travel passes / tracing apps /health codes, reigning in the internet, fake meat rollouts, elder care, maybe even social scores…
finally, john asked why educated people are easily propagandize. I encourage anyone interested to check out Jacques ellul, and his “propaganda” written in the 1950s which talks about propaganda in context of a technocratic society. ellul says that educated people in particular are most susceptible to propaganda:
“Naturally, the educated man does not believe in propaganda; he shrugs and is convinced that propaganda has no effect on him. This is, in fact, one of his great weaknesses, and propagandists are well aware that in order to reach someone, one must first convince him that propaganda is ineffectual and not very clever. Because he is convinced of his own superiority, the intellectual is much more vulnerable than anybody else to this maneuver, even though basically a high intelligence, a broad culture, a constant exercise of the critical faculties, and full and objective information are still the best weapons against propaganda.”
Jacques Ellul, Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes
ellul was a great thinker who understood the technocratic logic half a century ago. this is a very old game.
thanks for an amazing series of interviews.
Hello Catherine, I’m a long-time (very satisfied) subscriber and I like the way your website is now organized. Great job and thanks to you and your support staff.
I live in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia Canada. Although the event I am writing about below has passed, it is yet another tidbit of information that could point towards helping to expose some of the criminal activities that likely occurred in the back-rooms of the earlier days of the pre-plandemic planning.
There is a pulp mill south of here (near Salt Spring Island) that produces the only anti-bacterial pulp in the world. This pulp is exclusively used in medical-grade masks, cleanroom PPE, etc. In mid-February 2020, three locations of this Pulp and Paper company were hit by a computer virus that shut down their entire operations leading into a very vulnerable time during the early weeks of the plandemic PPE supply panic. Fortunately, the shutdown only lasted a couple of weeks, and although the attempt at creating a prolonged supply breakdown likely failed, the usual MSM cronies ignored this story (while focusing on the media-instigated toilet paper panic instead). Fortunately, there was one local media source that documented the virus event.
Documenting and mirroring any remaining proof of these early COVID conspiracies is so critical. It’s now impossible to find any of the early mass mind-control videos like the ones that showed the “welding of Chinese victims doors shut” or the early “Fake Street Collapse Vids from Wuhan China and Italy”…
Hopefully, John Rappoport can add this computer virus story to one of his future articles. He has been doing an incredible job in documenting so much of this and more at NoMoreFakeNews.com. Solari is very fortunate to have him associated with your site and I highly recommend that Solari Subscribers consider supporting his work. John has a very good daily email too.
I will search for and then post the link to the local article in a comment below if it has not already been scrubbed from the search algos.

Intriguing. The mobs are likely on the move one way or another.
Catherine, Curious have you written/spoke on the topic of Odious Debt. It sure seems like USA fits all the parameters and we have supported its use in other countries. Question when the reset happens would not this be a very good card to play for the citizens of America
Catherine,
Will you discuss the Huawei fire?
Catherine, I just watched The Social Dilemma on Netflix. I also dumped by Facebook page. I am embarrassed to say that I did not realize the extent of the impact social media was having on me. I felt like I imagined an alcoholic would when he looks at the bottle and realizes he is not in control. The movie really explains the mind control. Its just not as overtly nefarious as I imagined mind control to be. But, the movie made clear that Social Media puts people (especially the young who have grow up into it), into their own personal Matrix. It struck me that it’s not so much saying what to think as it is creating a destructive context through which people see the world. And, it’s all done by a system designed to addict you to it. I can hear you saying, “I told you so!” Well, sometimes it takes me a moment to realize the obvious.
Catherine, could you please interview someone who is an expert on cybersecurity for individuals? Your FAQ on “Cybersecurity – What We Do” is helpful, but I need more details and updated news on this topic. I recently changed my email to ProtonMail. I looked at StartMail, but the same guys who created StartMail also made the search engine StartPage.com, and I recently heard Corbett of the Corbett Report say that we shouldn’t use that search engine. I believe I also heard Robert Epstein say in an interview with Dr. Mercola the same thing. So that made me uncertain about using anything created by these StartMail/StartPage guys. I really don’t know all the relevant facts here, so that is why it would be helpful to hear a Solari podcast on all this. You say not to use the Brave browser, but Robert Epstein and other tech people say the opposite. This is very confusing. Please help me understand all this.
Check out Tips & Tricks – there are some good recommendations in there – particularly if you can ditch Windows and Microsoft and move to open source software.
A must Watch for all Subscribers.
Great Documentary on the Great Depression.
The similarity between now and then are almost identical. Looks like the FED had to wait a few generations to pull off another heist on this scale.

Will check out. Yes, it is an old game.
