  2. 36:12) Catherine, you drive me crazy when you begin something and then bow out. “It’s funny….” gesturing with your hands. PLEASE complete your thoughts. I’m always left wondering what gems we missed out on hearing.

  3. I really doubt Russell Brand is a rapist. He shows no signs of the will to dominate in eyes or words and he clearly likes women (generally). If he can hide that in hour after hour of video, he’s Oscar worthy.

  4. As a subscriber since late 2014, I really have enjoyed the evolution of the Solari Report. Catherine has so much great information and M&M co-host John is fantastic at boiling stories down to help us all understand them.

    I for one like the format and “right” plus “let’s keep it going” (as I remember the quote), really makes sense as this is a relatively quick review. Great value is added with the slides as well as the well organized links.

    The entire Dillon Reed pdf and all the library plus the last few years of well rounded archives are well worth my yearly subscription.

    I can’t wait until the next wrap up with Dr. Joseph Farrell for the long format reports.

    Keep up the great work Catherine and John!

    Godspeed!

    1. Plus of course the Missing Money! Such amazing variety of important subjects to help us subscribers!

    2. I agree, even without M&M; the wraps ups and other features and vast library is worth the annual subscription for me as well.

      But M&M was kind of the “glue” that kept me really plugged in.

      As old timers we have the advantage of years of coming up to speed on the core concepts etc. But when I’ve gifted the subscription recently— since the switch—it failed to gain traction w/ M&M’s being usually THE reason. The newbies just couldn’t get a foothold.

  5. Actionable Request/suggestion: please tally up the number of times Catherine and John say “Right”.

    For John: please [replace] 80% [Right] with [What makes you say that/can you tell me more about that / how does that tie in to [what people need to know/the big picture/what we should be doing in our own lives/Etc]

    Please [replace] 15% [right] with “yes and the reason why…/how does that work?]

    For Catherine: please [replace] 50% of “right” with [and you know what else…/what most people don’t realize about that/ here’s how that works]

    Please eliminate “Let’s keep it moving”

  6. I’ve been a subscriber since 2015 and it has taken a year for me to get to this point.

    I know this format feels good to you both but the utility for me (and it sounds like many others) is greatly diminished from prior. I no longer look forward to M&M.

    Whereas I used to check anxiously to see if it had posted. I no longer try to recruit subscribers; whereas M&M used to be the main thing where I was like “you gotta join!!”

    It feels like we’re being excluded rather than included from the conversation.

    And I’m sick of John cutting Catherine off—it’s always when she’s starting to say something interesting that actually helps me understand what is going on.

    Perhaps a less knowledgeable co-host could help draw out the type of conversation and questions that will help the rest of us dummies understand what’s going on.

    Every time you say “right” and Just move on—and have not explained what’s going on and many of us have NO IDEA why that’s “right’—it’s zero value add to us unenlightened masses—and if it’s so obvious that it doesn’t warrant dissection and explanation—perhaps it’s not worthy of highlighting on M&M.

    1. Angela:

      Thanks for the feedback. Will think about what John and I can do to improve the presentation.

      I can not remember any time when I had a point to make that I thought was important that I did not make. We are trying to make M&M shorter, it gets quite long and there are times I do not add more, because the length is IMO too long.

      I enjoy working with John very much. We don’t always agree – for some that is fun to hear. Others disapprove. So no desire to find another co-host.

      Catherine

      1. Really appreciate this response and understand the time constraints.

        One idea might be to not try to cover so much ground?

        Meaning—perhaps only discuss a few of the most important stories highlighted that week? And help us really understand the context. It hasn’t been entirely missing; but sparse and maybe it’s a crapshoot on if the hour+ I spend on M&M’s will leave me better prepared and informed than prior.

        Another possible way on how to reallocate the time to allow for deeper discussion would be to spend less time reading the articles to us?

        Sometimes the reading or videos *is * definitely crucial to understanding.

        But back in the old days, you didn’t read them all to us. You posted the articles and quoted or read chunks of them when it was needed to really emphasize the point. I remember specifically being like “oh need to make sure to go read the article she’s referring to”

        1. I like the idea of doing less stories and going deeper on the important ones. We did that this week. We have cut the stories down from 25 to 19-20 in the hopes of achieving what you are describing. I like the idea of cutting them down more. There were three stories that were the most important this week. Treasury market melt down, Israel, and the rise in all cause mortality – and IMO deeply interrelated. So we spent the lionshare of the time on those. To get there more than 100 stories hit the cutting room floor.

        2. You might also consider moving M&M to Fridays so that you are up-to-date with the news. Fridays, end of week, are big event days. Then we have to wait a week for “old news.”

      2. See (36:12) for a recent example of when you didn’t complete your thought. While you may unaware of these moments, they loom large for us. We always wonder what you would have said. Afterall, we pay $30/month for the Catherine Austin Fitts’ Solari.com subscription.

  8. John: “Count me out on Russell”
    Right there with you John. There’s just something…not…quite…right about him. My gut is telling me to watch this guy. Kind of like a Jordan Petersen, over-emotive in approach…

    1. A lot of good points about Russell have been posted. Helped me improve my perspective on his work.

      1. Some say Russell has had a change “of heart” since this interview took place pre-C19. I say BS!…Politician’s continuously have changes of heart throughout their career…
        I have similar GROWING concerns with RFK Jr…

  11. I still don’t get the standing ovation in the Canadian parliament for the Nazi war criminal. What was that all about? What did they want to achieve? I am sure it didn’t happen spontaneously or by accident. It took planning and organising. But Why? What was the purpose? What was the message? What was the point?

    1. I could engage in conjecture. BUT I determined when it happened that whatever the reason, the important thing was to figure out what it was that it was distracting us from.

  12. When the Breggins broke the story about Matthias Desmet’s failure to report the serial killer he counseled, there was someone in the comments representing themselves as Malone. “Malone” was defending Desmet in the chat. I challenged this Malone to come clean on his CIA connections and trip to Wuhan when the outbreak was first starting in China. (Malone had recently bragged about this in an interview with Mercola).

    The “Malone” in the chat denied ever having been to China and persisted with his defense of Desmet. Perhaps this only shows the person wasn’t Malone but I have wondered if trolls are hired to do this in his name, it’s time consuming, and who might be paying them. Are they also funding the defamation suits so the litigious Malone has no financial risks.

    1. This guy is excellent! Makes some excellent points. Thanks, Susan. Strikes me that the best thing about making Russell Brand hero this week is a very productive conversation. The Punch and Judy show is real. One of the goals of the Punch and Judy show is to remind anyone who would speak out that the corporate media with political help can turn the crowd against anyone who speaks out. Mr. Global controls the crowd and popular opinion. What will it take for that to stop being so?

      1. I love him and forget to watch him as he never shows in my feed – imagine that:).

      2. Worth a watch and some thought. The comment about how they show you the truth, but to what end?, is on point.

  14. Here is Brand, as the ring maste/child stealer from Chitty Chatty Bang Bang and/or Willy Wonka at the London Olympic Games (where there were dancing nurses, injections and phoenixes rising from the ashes, among other things). Take your pick on what is most disturbing, but one of the children in the van is a transvestite dressed as a girl doll, also a mash of characters from the child’s movie CCBB, who pulls his knickers down in front of Brand ,along to the Beatles “I am the Walrus.” More subtle is the vignette of the Sergeant Pepper’s album cover which features the satanist Alister Crowley aka “The Great Beast.” Crowley, Ian Fleming (CCBB and James Bond author) and Road Dahl (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory author) were said to be British Intelligence and more. Also, Brand has just been accused publicly by four women of rape and sexual assault. I believe people are innocent until proven guilty, but it was an odd choice for “Hero of the Week.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2z3VyPxPXU

    1. If every time someone fights hard for freedom and takes major risks doing so, and then is held accountable for every bad thing they ever did – whether real or made up – then no one can ever fight for freedom. I used to be a rape counselor and am very familiar with rape issues both personally and professionally. More than a few of the people I worked for or came into contact at the top of the food chain were IMO slavers, pedophiles and rapists – all much more common than we all think.

      Brand is one of the few people who has got the important issues like financial transaction freedom injected into the mainstream. And he has been brave doing so. If you look at the value he has created and the risks he has taken, he is a hero. He is far from a perfect person according to Brand. Having spent eleven years, millions of dollars and by my calculations 36,000 hours dealing with false allegations, I want to hear from people who go on the record with legitimate allegations with a legitimate reason why they stayed silent all these years until there coming out serves the interest of central bankers and big pharma.

      There are millions of people caught up on the wrong side who would love to come over to the side of freedom if they could find a pathway. How do we help them do so. Worth thinking about.

      In my book, Brand is innocent until proven guilty.

      1. I can see how he could be being set up. Certainly in this “Game of Thrones” world, things are often, not as they seem. The Olympic ceremonies, are certainly interesting. Lots of DNA strands and such…fascinating

  16. fabulous day!!! you also posted interview from GigOhmBiologic (as well as wooz news). Dynamite indeed. I am not quoting, but the weird illnesses are likely clones, and then there are the protocols and mandates. Here is the private social media for GigaOhm and John posted the channel https://gigaohm.bio/ – would love to see more from them..

  17. I was just going to post about the Capitol coverage by Wooz News – and there it is – amazing! If you watch till the end, they speak about a man, Alan Hostetter, one of the first in the country to lead peaceful protest against the measures of 2020 in San Clemente California. “they” (more to come) set him up and lured/tried to lure others to J6 and other incriminating situations. There is some great footage, but the judge didn’t see any footage or let him call any witnesses. He is being sentenced October 14th – please pray for him, the creator and watch, share, and support wooz news https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NG7IqgrpnoU&t=1408s. Please consider profiling the creator of Wooz News/investigating Alan’s story. Part three is coming soon.

  18. Has John ever watched any of Brands shows? I never liked him until he began the Stay Free Shows. I gave him a chance, and am glad I did. I think he is a hero. I hope he has Catherine on his show.

  19. Catherine, also….per 2021 news”The Netherlands is regarded as being one of only a few countries in the world, together with the likes of the United States and Japan, to have a complete semiconductor industry value chain within its borders. This includes applied research, chip design, chip architecture, the production of chips, the equipment required to make them, and system integration and applications.” https://www.statista.com/topics/7279/semiconductor-companies-in-the-netherlands/#topicOverview

    How is this helping the financial grid construction?

  21. Not only did the Canadian paliament applaud a nazi this week, here in the Netherlands they ‘accidently found’ the membership card of our late prince Bernhard (spouse to queen Juliana) to the nazi party NSDAP. What a coincidence..

    1. Netherlands has a well known past regarding what you mentioned, I don’t think people understand. I also asked Catherine about Netherlands being a big player as they are a unique chip manufacturer and deeply involved in the digitalization of the market/world – and possibly working with US/UK to do it.

  22. Catherine: “It’s amazing how much you can get done if no one is lying.” Love it. Thank you both!
    ???

    1. I seem to recall that injury risk was known to be high in the days immediately after injection, which is why no one was considered vaccinated until 14 days after injection. This meant that all deaths in the first 13 days were recorded as unvaccinated deaths.

      1. How they distort reality! Amazing. Makes me want to cry, especially for those who lost their lives or quality of life.

  24. AirBnB tenant cannot be evicted despite 500 days of not paying rent — could it change the market for high-end short term rental? If this LA-based incident was a movie, it would involve a lawyer who knew which unlicensed property and length of stay could maximize legal leverage.

    https://archive.ph/TRCkv

    1. My friend had a similar incident in NYC when she let someone stay with her. They stayed more than 30 days and my friend couldn’t get rid of the person. I can’t recall details. Eventually she was able to ‘evict’ them but it was very, very difficult and made her life hell.

  25. Re Chucky : Take US jabs week by week in 2021. Divide those numbers by US week by week cases, and plot on a chart. What do you see?

  26. Re the Trudeau parliament Nazi incident. What was it about? Guessing a distraction. While Trudeau was at the G20, Indian press was reporting that Trudeau arrived on a plane that had cocaine on it and that he missed some G20 functions because of cocaine use. He was delayed returning to Canada by at least 2 days, official reason being mechanical difficulties with the plane. First day back in parliament, he would have been expecting the opposition to raise the question of cocaine use. Instead, he pre-empted that by accusing India of assassinating someone in Canada. Then followed a flurry of diplomatic gestures including India cutting off visa services for Canadians wanting to travel there. Shortly thereafter, we have the Nazi in the house debacle. Question is were they distracting from the alleged cocaine use or the announcements at the G20 re digital id and cbdc? My humble opinion.

  27. local government Guelph, Ontario, Canada
    h ttps://www.bitchute.com/video/XWnDGODzcpWz/
    ” As she mentioned, when she took this petition door to door, she discovered nobody knew anything about it or where it came from.
     The same thing is happening in every town and being well versed in municipal government, 
     I came up here to help her understand the public-private partnership fraud that’s happening in this very room and in every city hall.
     A public-private partnership is a legal creature that looks like government, but it’s not.
     Chances are only Ron, the Chief Administrative Officer and myself, 
     know that this room is actually a United Nations office and we are in international jurisdiction right now.
     And why the only thing you can talk about here is sustainable development and climate change.
     In this UN partnership, everything can be done by the two signatures of these men, the Mayor and the CAO.
     COVID proved these two officers can not only call a local emergency any time they want, 
     but they can put a needle in your arm using only a bylaw, like a parking ticket.”

    2. Calgary’s (Canada) city manager recently gave himself a ‘slightly different’ title, to Chief Administrative Officer…. I’m glad I saw your comment, I have some research to do.

  28. I’m having problems downloading (?) I just downloaded the mp4 twice. First time it finished with 193,7MB, the second time it finished with 613,4MB. Both files fail to open on my (fairly new) MacBook. The MP3 works fine.

  29. Mr Obama + Fauci mask, can’t keep straight face + dubbed it in later + if it comes to any trial one can deny ever having saying it.

  31. the institution states that they’re “doing” fire drills but is actually trying to get out, and needs people to think that everything’s ok so that those other people will continue to put money into Binance. if nobody puts money in, the institution can’t get their money out.

  32. Glad to hear you talking about infrastructure. That’s a huge issue. And infrastructure == utility companies. US Utility Companies are NOT our friends. Get it together people. We saw this evidence, before our very eyes, since 9/11, and, most recently, Lahaina. Those people were incinerated and the Energy company had to be a co-conspirator. Focusing solely on Banks is tunnel vision.

  34. Would FDIC legally be able to settle claims using CBDC or new iteration of dollar? Could they pay you back in a currency other than the one that was insured?

    1. Likely. However, when you are in a financial coup, the enemy makes up rules and it is hard to predict what rules they will make up.

    1. Not sure how to answer that question. That is like asking how the Atlantic Ocean impacts the people of who live on the Eastern Seaboard. Is there something specific?

  38. “The Great Taking” is a short book published for free, online, by David Rogers Webb in May 2023

    In it, the author argues that “essentially all securities owned by the public in custodial accounts, pension plans and investment funds are now encumbered as collateral underpinning the derivatives complex” and that “ownership of securities as property has been replaced with a new legal concept of a ‘security entitlement’, which is a contractual claim assuring a very weak position if the account provider becomes insolvent.”

    You and John may appreciate the short chapter on Security Entitlement, among others, and I would be very interested in what you think.

    The Great Taking
    https://mpalmer.heresy.is/webnotes/TheGreatTaking

    Chapter on Security Entitlement
    https://mpalmer.heresy.is/webnotes/TheGreatTaking/Security-Entitlement.html

    1. David Webb highlights a critical legal distinction between owning a “security” and owning a “security entitlement against an account provider.” He says that in US and Canada investors own security entitlements against the account provider and that this can mean in the event a custodian becomes insolvent an investor who believes they own a security outright may end up with a weaker claim to the security than other creditors.

        1. Do you think it is true that one could end up being treated as an unsecured creditor with respect to stocks/other securities held in a brokerage account at Fidelity in the event Fidelity became insolvent? Meaning an investor who believes he owns these outright could end up with a weaker claim to those securities than secured creditors? It wouldn’t surprise me too much at this point, but I don’t know.

          1. Isn’t this what has been happening lately where class A shareholders did NOT get reimbursed after bankruptcy?
            Also UBS taking over Credit Suisse?

      2. Listened to part one of a multi part by this author today. Glad I read the comments, since I was about to share with CAF ?

    2. Call me stupid, but isn’t that the issue of re-hypothecation Catherine defines as 20 people holding a mortgage to the same property / stock / investment but only one is left standing. Who owns the asset?
      This is finally getting interesting after so many years!

    3. I heard about it too via Ivor Cummins’ channel and then read this booklet earlier in the week.
      Very interesting and even more reason to focus on assets outside of the system I’d say.
      Hopefully the Sweden conference will be made available online at some point, at least at a discount i hope!

  39. Catherine, what’s your opinion on Kevin McCarthy’s voting out as speaker of the House? Would be interesting to see what’s happening behind the scenes. Thanks, Christian

    1. Agreed.

      Lots of talk about Trump taking over as Speaker. Is this even possible? As far as I’m aware there’s never been a Speaker who wasn’t already a member of the House.

      However, per article 1, section 2 of the Constitution, all it says is “the House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers…”.

      In today’s barmy world, I wouldn’t rule out anything.

  40. I understand that testing municipal wastewater for covid is a possibility or already in action. Rationalizing future lockdowns in specific areas is already well discussed. It is interesting that an entity associated with Blackrock has purchased a local waste collection company that provides service to rural properties where I reside. Maybe this is a way to justify locking down rural areas since these properties are on well water, not municipal water.

      1. Received a letter from the insurance company regarding updated coverage. One point relevant to testing of wastewater:
        ” Loss or damage to your property resulting from virus, bacteria, micro-organisms and communicable disease will now be excluded ”
        Have you heard of anything similar in NZ? Would make sense to remove insurance payouts if wastewater testing is being used to lockdown properties.

        1. Haven’t heard about something similar yet, but won’t be surprised if or when I do!

      1. Where do you find these links Rich??? I am not in USA, but this info is still incredibly interesting.

          1. the search engines are not a disaster. they are working *exactly* as desired; to severely limit access of the common people to real information while pretending otherwise.

          2. Thanks to web translation (e.g. built into iOS Safari), one can compare results from search engines in different countries, which are at least differently biased in their censorship.

    3. Lol! Only if you/we are foolish enough to relinquish control of ‘ourselves’ to UN. I say ‘ourselves’ because we know that the US Government already relinquished control.
      DO NOT COMPLY. DO NOT ACQUIESCE! NO FEAR!

    4. Question, i have never heard of testing for a virus in per or feces. If thats possible, why dont they do that at the doctors office as a diagnostic tool?

    1. The best way to stop the body politic to see the clear and simple truth of the intentionality of the great poisoning is to prevent the confirmation by leaders of the lethality of the different parts.

      1. If we have reverted to pre-Westphalian violence, could an insurance underwriter create an assassination insurance policy for state politicians whose state governance activity puts them at risk of injury or worse? Add to state budget. Pool defensive and forensic expertise across states with shared governance risk.
        High policy value to maximize Streisand effect and create financial incentives to implement continuous defensive security (e.g. plane, train and auto inspection, screening of maintenance workers and facilities) and post-mortem, state investigation of all fatal accidents, beyond what is done by NTSB.
        Failing that, how about a national monument to those fallen politicians who lead by example and paid the ultimate price?
        Even air safety experts are not safe.
        https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/02/us/russ-francis-plane-crash-death-new-york/index.html

        Richard McSpadden, 63, and Russ Francis, 70, died after the Cessna Cardinal they were flying crashed near the runway of the Lake Placid Airport, “striking an earth embankment,” according to New York State Police. 

        McSpadden was the head of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association’s Air Safety Institute, which focuses on curbing crashes of general aviation airplanes.

        2. Rich, “Kidnap& Ransom” Insurance policies exist in the private insurance market place. To create a scheme as you mention would more than likely require the complete capture of an insurance company…infused with “insider” injected capital….a slightly different version of what, you might say, was accomplished using AIG during the financial crisis.

  42. https://open.substack.com/pub/josephsansone/p/floridas-forced-quarantine-and-forced?r=cz3xq&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

    For any and all in the state of Florida……I have known for some time about the “Baker Act” which is an extremely scary law on Florida’s books allowing citizens to be hospitalized against their will by any number of agency representatives, but I didn’t know about this one regarding forced quarantine until recently. It appears to be the Prep Act on heavy duty steroids and was signed into law in 2021.

  44. Forgive the random post, but this is so good I have to post it – a quote from the DT’s reader comments:

    “Each time you spend money, you vote for the kind of world you want to live in – it’s actually the most powerful vote you have.”

    1. Reminds me of how Catherine says- paraphrase- we don’t vote every 4 years, we vote every day with our dollars, our time and our attention.

  45. Catherine,

    I thing the Netherlands will become a very important technological economic power with all the tech happening there. With their increase exports, and considering they have a very powerful port, how is this impacting and will impact the USA economy/investments? I was told the Netherlands will dominate the digitalization around the world; they started in the 90s.

    1. Catherine, it seems that Netherlands is deeper involved with the future digital world domination -chip manufacturing- that most do not understand. China cannot keep it up with their own economy in stress. NE have a well organize partnership with the UK & US gov. But, who is benefiting Catherine? Do you know about this and who is investing in this? Waiting for your reply…

  46. https://www.businessinsider.com/pubs-replaced-banks-in-ireland-in-1970-and-the-economy-was-fine-2016-1

    the entire banking system of Ireland went on strike after an industrial dispute in 1970. The strike lasted nearly six months, yet the economy escaped unscathed.

    People used cheques to manage large payments and, while the banks were closed, risk of default on the cheques was shouldered by neighbourhood pubs. 

    How did payees manage this risk for such a prolonged period? Notoriously, local publicans were well-placed to judge the creditworthiness of payers.

    For example, John Dempsey, a publican in Balbriggan, near Dublin, was “…holding cheques for thousands of pounds, but I’m not worried. The last bank strike went on for 12 weeks and I didn’t have a single ‘bouncer’. … I deal only with my regulars … I refuse strangers. I suppose I’ve been able to keep a few local factories going.”

    1. Amazing how the economy works when trust is present and well managed. 🙂

  47. Costo is selling gold, and apparently selling out if it. If the old playbook of timing of news reports apply, seems to me that gold is about to go on sale.

          1. People having to liquidate because they need money. Less people buying because they are stretched. They need dollars to pay debts and they are harder to get.

          2. Thank you for the explanation. Wow, that’s very sad. So much stolen money by those at the top. It’s financially decimating people. Might real estate be next? What if people start losing their homes?

      2. Gold & Silver brokers making money. No body will sell if they believe it will grow in value. Costco is one of the most profitable company in the US.

  49. Something I’ve noticed here in California: 76, Shell and various large-named gas stations are now… completely closed. Anyone else notice this trend?

    1. `Would love to know whether it was general economics or their insurance was pulled or new regulations coming. I have a diesel car in Europe. The tax in 2024 for my car is 2000 Europe special tax for driving a diesel car.

      1. In my area (NW Phila.), I’ve noticed gas stations that changed to ‘no name’ companies that look like they’re from a 3rd World shanty town.

    2. some “news” articles
      https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-10-30/la-gas-stations-future#:~:text=How%20many%20mom-and-pop,stations%20would%20close%20by%202035.

      https://www.marketwatch.com/story/more-california-cities-pass-gas-station-bans-moratoriums-opis-c6dca599

      https://lamag.com/news/california-cities-are-now-banning-gas-stations-to-combat-climate-crisis

      https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/sonoma-county-supervisors-approve-ban-on-new-gas-stations-extra-pumps/

      1. Loved the Sonoma County article. They will limit gas pumps near the airport so people renting cars have a harder time filling up before returning their rental cars, and hence will be charged a higher rate for gas at the airport. So brave of Sonoma County Supervisors to take a stand! A big yes to monopoly in name of saving the world!

    3. I went to a local 76 station here in Nor Cal this week. My 76 credit card wouldn’t work at the pump. I went into the station to charge using staff and I was told I would be getting a new card shortly with a Tap payment option. My current card doesn’t have one. I was then informed I could load the new card on my cell phone and that would result in being able to pay using a QR code either with the card loaded or perhaps using the 76 Card APP, (the card is backed by Synchrony Bank). What a convenient and cheaper way to track all gas purchases and other purchases at these stations and know exactly how many miles a person is driving…easy math using the gallons of gas purchased and the average mileage of the vehicle being driven!!! Another piece of the digital prison puzzle falling in to place no doubt. Not sure if that accounts for any of the gas station closures you noticed though.

  50. MUST WATCH AND LISTEN

    This is far and away the best interview of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I have seen. Sports writer Jason Whitlock gets to the nub of things and exposes Kennedy’s thinness on most topics that matter to conservatives. Kennedy is spot on about Ukraine and the vaccine. After that he is pure Democrat talking points, including the most shameless patronization of Whitlock, who is black, and would like to be known as “a good man, not a good black man,” and meanwhile Kennedy belabors his homage to Africans and African Americans to the point where it was getting ridiculous. The pair never did get around to things like abortion, open borders, China, geoengineering and a host of other operations being conducted illicitly the world over by an out of control, failed government.

    The piece starts out with a very pointed question from Whitlock, who expresses admiration of Donald Trump telling why and Kennedy proceeds to dissemble for 5 or 10 minutes about everything but Trump, but to his everlasting credit, Whitlock brought him back to Trump explaining that Trump is the one who opened his eyes about what was really going on with the deep state. Later, after more equivocating by Kennedy, Whitlock doubled down, going back and saying that Trump is the one that made it possible for you to speak the way you do the political arena.

    RFK Jr certainly has his appeal from a nostalgic and a hopeful New Democrat standpoint, but that party won’t even allow him to participate in their primaries and the head of the party, nominally, Joe Biden, won’t even afford Secret Service protection to this potential rival. We know that Joe Biden’s corrupt and drug addicted son does get Secret Service protection and grimly recall that Secret Service proved no effective protection for the assassinated Kennedys.

    In spite of his ultimately appearing charmed by his pedigreed guest, I cannot speak highly enough of Jason Whitlock, his interviewing excellence, and his evident sincerity as a citizen. 100%

    1. Yes, saw that one when it came out and I believe I sent in for posting. Don’t think it was RFK’s best – seemed quite tired. Likely overscheduled given the challenges with secret service and primary rules. I did enjoy Jason.

      1. But, you do see what I’m saying in regard to Kennedy being at his core, Democrat through and through? I was actually embarrassed for him the way he was patronizing black people and Africans as if it was 1962 or something. Like he couldn’t stop himself. He compared something vague about surfing to having the basketball hoops taken down in some city during the COVID scam. He then went on to mention something about flying a private plane. Just like people in the hood, but richer and with better taste in clothes. I would have fallen from my chair, but I was driving.

        Still, and I’ll be fair to RFK Jr, there hasn’t been a better Democrat choice since his uncle was on the ballot. I still think Trump is a better choice for America.

        1. As an European that thinks the EU Union’s sole purpose is to circumvent all countries governments and be a proxy to evil, I tend to go for the candidate less likely to be a proxy to anything. In that Trump hasn’t a good track record and RFK has no track record as a President. Since I don’t trust Donald Duck…. But granted, it remains a difficult choice.

          1. As our hostess says, “If you try to stay in the middle of the road, you’ll get run over. Pick a side!”
            I’m picking Trump out of the choices.

          2. Thanks for Warp Speed Trump. So many sick and dead. Thanks, Donald. Best vaccine ever. What will you do for an encore?

  51. Catherine, it used to be that Money Markets was published every week. Did it change now to every 2 weeks? With so much information, and markets changing quickly, I thought every week was appropriate.

    2. Since 2008, we publish every week except the last week of the month. So there is one week each month with no Money & Markets or Ask Catherine. We just started to run Tech Corner in the last week of the month in the Ask Catherine & Solari Team spot.

  52. 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka, former SS officer, received a lengthy standing ovation in the (Canadian) House of Commons for his work in the Ukraine during WWII yesterday.

    He was hailed as a hero and personally congratulated by the Speaker of the House Anthony Rota (the King’s representative).

    Trudeau didn’t show up for work this morning.

    You can’t even make this up.

    1. Yes, agreed. What is really going on here? Would love any subscriber input in an attempt to make sense of these bizarre goings-on.

      I’m of the opinion that it HAS to be deliberate. Who even was this person? And why were they dug up to attend such a high profile photo opportunity (with Zelenskyy)? Surely Canadian (and probably British) intelligence does detailed background checks on anyone who’s so publicly invited to the House of Commons. Incidentally the Speaker has since taken full responsibility for the debacle and resigned (I don’t know about Canada, but in the UK parliament, a Speaker resigning is almost unheard of).

      The irony that Trudeau famously dismissed the trucker convoy as “Nazis”, and therefore the parallel that can be drawn between the two incidents is simply too convenient. It’s also reignited talk about Chrystia Freeland’s ancestry, and the fact that (I think) her grandfather was a known Nazi sympathizer. I’m sure it won’t affect her position as a member of the WEF board of directors, however, alongside Gore, Carney, and Fink (what a rogue’s gallery).

      With Dan Andrews also suddenly resigning as premier of Victoria, Australia this week, are we being primed for Trudeau and Freeland’s departures? I’m sure they can do just as much damage away from frontline politics.

      Finally, is the simultaneous diplomatic row with India something to do with this? That all seems very fishy as well.

      1. With Dan Andrews also suddenly resigning as premier of Victoria, Australia this week, are we being primed for Trudeau and Freeland’s departures?
        The utility of these two is worn out. If I was pulling the strings, I would use these widely despised people to soak up a lot of blame and anger. I liked the term chew toy.

          1. Point taken. Perhaps they do have some utility left in them if they can continue the chewing en masse.

      2. They’re paving the road for Pollievre.
        Although, I’m not sure what’s actually going on with Alberta (the province in which I live) and Saskatchewan. Are they actually starting to stand up? Premier Smith told a reported to stuff it when asked about her vaccine status. Premier Moe says he’s going to invoke the Non-withstanding clause over pronous etc… in schools.
        In the end, it’ll all be mute when they bring in the digital IDs.
        I guess we’ll find out over time what’s real and what isn’t.

        1. When Pollievre won the CPC leadership he spoke very positively about digital currencies. What could his goals possibly be…. The current people don’t have the pull to get it done.

          1. So-i’ve just heard (for the first time), the audio of the Speaker introducing Hunka.

            Hunka was introduced as “someone who bravely fought the Russians”. Hunka then went on to receive a lengthy standing ovation.

            Er…did it not dawn on any of the geniuses in the Canadian House of Commons that the Russians were on OUR side during World War 2?

            At the very least, it would have rung an alarm bell in my mind.

          2. Not sure how to answer your question Thomas, your guess is as good as mine. All I hear is “blame Russia for everything”
            As if they are not nearly finished with using them as a scapegoat.

        2. What’s Smith like? She seems to have been one of the better leaders during the recent nonsense.

          Although quite frankly, I trust no-one in a position of political leadership nowadays.

      3. Maybe, when Patton said we’ve been fighting the wrong enemy— he meant England (as opposed to Russia and Germany)!

    1. Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!! They have multiple texas weather mod programs, one I noticed in austin, “edwards aquifer precipitation enhancement,” where there’s been a drought for two-ish years. Clearly this is to drain the aquifers, not “enhance” them as they claim.
      Btw, we’ve had military aircraft flying over head off and on all day. ?!?
      Oh, but this is all outlandish conspiracy theory.
