The National Security State & the Clash of Civilizations

“…This three volume series is the nearest thing to an official history of the UFO phenomenon that we are ever likely to see. While this second volume is an authoritative account, this is no dry history - in this gripping account, Dolan captures the cases, the controversies and the characters, giving us the definitive position on one of the last great mysteries of our time.”

- Nick Pope, UK Ministry of Defense, 1985-2006

Whenever I describe the extent of the corruption in the financial system, the same questions always follow. Who is really in control? Why are they behaving this way? Cui Bono? Who benefits?

One of the challenges in providing answers has been the absence of access to the information that we need. There are more unanswered questions than facts. Many of those unanswered questions revolve around the black budget and the private corporate power structure that it has created. If Richard Dolan is right, the UFO phenomenon is at the core of the creation of the National Security State and the Tapeworm Economy.

Over the years, I have read scores of books on the UFO phenomenon. However, it was not until reading Richard Dolan’s latest book, UFOs & the National Security State: The Cover Up Exposed, 1973-1991, that I found a book that both describes the UFO phenomenon in a comprehensive and professional way and documents the profound impact that managing this phenomenon in extreme secrecy has had on our society. This includes the creation of a consortium of military, intelligence and private interests that have formed a “break-away civilization” that continues to prosper and grow, in part because of the advanced technologies that have resulted from decades of black funded research projects.

This book is on my list of the “Top Twenty Books for the 21st Century.”

Richard will be joining me on the Solari Report this week to talk about the clash of three civilizations - human civilization, the black budget “break away civilization,” and the civilization or civilizations represented by some of the UFOs. Our goal will be to go to the heart of what is happening economically and politically and what it means to how we manage our time and assets and contribute to a enlightened transformation of our own civilization.

Here is our outline:

1. Introduction

2. The Real Clash of Civilizations

3. History of the UFO Phenomenon

4. Theories & Unanswered Questions

5. History of the Black Budget

6. The Real Cause of Our Tapeworm & Economic Crisis

7. Popular Opinion

8. What’s Next?

I will cover Money & Markets and questions in Ask Catherine, so make sure to post any questions you have for both me and Richard. The role of the black budget is so important in what is happening financially today and what may happen over the next few years, that we will go an extra fifteen minutes.

For our Let’s Go the Movies segment, I encourage you to watch this Project Camelot video of Richard presenting an overview of the material in his book last September, after the book was published.

Loving Montana


Flathead Lake, MT

I left Hickory Valley on August 21st. I drove into Memphis first, to pack my cooler full of fresh organic salads and fruits. I have learned not to search for fresh food on the road. I was headed to Montana, where I lived for most of 2005,  wrote Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits and met Anais Starr who has run Solari operations since 2006.

I love being on the road. I drove straight through to Billings - a 25 hour trip through Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming into eastern Montana. Then a 12 hour sleep, up the next morning and then 8 hours across southern Montana turning north on the Western side into the Flathead Valley.

Gordon’s Guide

The drive was spectacular the whole way. Clear blue skies with the temperature in the ’60’s. After the heat of the Tennessee summer, the crisp cool air was welcome.

I met up with colleagues from California at the Deep Bay Center in Lakeside on Flathead Lake through last Friday. Each day the air poured into our house from across the lake. Because our team is spread around the country, it is important to find ways to get together to brainstorm and create. I can’t think of a better place to bring a team together than the Center at Deep Bay.

We found the Center thank to the wonderful We Trade Network.  More proof of the power of barter networks.

On Friday, I moved up to the Swan Valley to stay with friends - a weekend of hiking, reading (or I should say re-reading Richard Dolan’s book for this week’s Solari Report) and eating more great fresh food from Loon Lake Farm in Bigfork, The Good Food Store in Missoula and Mountain Valley Foods in Kalispell. I even continued my education on grizzly bears and how to care for the wilderness from the master of the forests, Rick Freeman.


Swan Lake, MT

I will be staying in the Swan, headed into the Solari office several days to work and then driving home over Labor Day weekend.

I’m loving Montana. It’s a reminder of what Wordsworth wrote in Tintern Abbey:

“..and this prayer I make,
Knowing that Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her; ’tis her privilege,
Through all the years of this our life, to lead
From joy to joy: for she can so inform
The mind that is within us, so impress
With quietness and beauty, and so feed
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues,
Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men,
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all
The dreary intercourse of daily life,
Shall e’er prevail against us, or disturb
Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold
Is full of blessings.”

59% Support Arizona Law; 53% Trust States More than Feds To Enforce Immigration Law

Despite a judge’s ruling putting key provisions of Arizona’s new immigration law on hold,most U.S. voters still favor passage of such a law in their own state. They also think it’s better to have states enforce immigration law rather than to rely on the federal government.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken after the judge’s Tuesday ruling, finds that 59% favor passage of an Arizona-like immigration law in their state, marking little change from earlier this month. Just 32% oppose such a law.

On the Food “Safety” Bill

If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

- Thomas Jefferson

The Abyss

“I don’t want to see this country ever go across the bridge… I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency [NSA] and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision, so that we never cross over that abyss. That is the abyss from which there is no return.”

- Senator Frank Church (D-Idaho)

An Analysis by Catherine Austin Fitts

Behind the Wheel

By Lars Schall

Hardly another serious plague to society is associated with more hypocrisy and erroneous assumptions than the drug business. So Lars Schall talked with Catherine Austin Fitts, who explains the real deal: “It’s a very old business. It goes back to the question of how you control the most territory with the fewest players as possible.”

The following interview was conducted, while she sat in her car and drove across the U.S. state of Montana.

Daily Bread Is a Local Call Away

By Marian Burros

The 250 farmers, bakers, millers, scientists and just plain eaters, all of them fanatics about the kind of bread that is so good it doesn’t need butter or jam, gathered here last month for the fourth annual Kneading Conference. They spent two days at the fairgrounds talking about locally grown, mostly organic grains — and how, after 100 years of neglect, breads made from them are beginning to pop up, in limited quantities, nationwide.

Is the Real Unemployment Rate 16.5%, 22%, or. . .?

By Pallavi Gogoi

Raghavan Mayur, president at TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, follows unemployment data closely. So, when his survey for May revealed that 28% of the 1,000-odd households surveyed reported that at least one member was looking for a full-time job, he was flummoxed.

“Our numbers are always very accurate, so I was surprised at the discrepancy with the government’s numbers,” says Mayur, whose firm owns the TIPP polling unit, a polling partner for Investors’ Business Daily and Christian Science Monitor. After all, the headline number shows the U.S. unemployment rate today is 9.5%, with a total of 14.6 million jobless people.

Fears of Regime Change in New York

From Naked Capitalism

Normally, I don’t report on anecdotes from my immediate circle, but a set of conversations in less than a 24 hour period suggests that even those comparatively unaffected by the crisis are bracing themselves for the possibility of sudden, large-scale, adverse changes. And that sort of gnawing worry seems to be growing in New York despite being buoyed by TARP funds and covert bank subsidies.

When out on my rounds the day before yesterday, I ran into an old McKinsey colleague, who had subsequently had impressively titled jobs in Big Firms You Heard Of before semi-retiring to manage family money. He and his very accomplished wife were big Bush donors and had been invited to both inaugurations.

He made short order of niceties and got to the point: “We need more fiscal stimulus. Obama did too little and too much of what he spent on was liberal pork. We could and need to spend a lot on infrastructure. This is looking a lot like 1936. I’m afraid it could get really ugly. And I’m particularly worried that the Republicans will win big this fall. They’ll cut even deeper, that’s the last thing we need right now.”
