MacTribe iPhone App Spotlight

Solari & The Money Changer
Silver and Gold Payment Calculator App
Price: Free
 
Solution: iPhone Apps That Give Us New Ideas

The creator of the Solari Silver and Gold Payment Calculator app is financial wiz and host of the Solari Report, Catherine Austin Fitts

[CAF Note: Oops Franklin Sanders was the creator and the Solari team did the work after Franklin provided the concept,  formulas and the list of coins. This is an example of an investor getting the credit. ]

Catherine’s sophisticated and soul searching approach to finding solutions for an new model of an economy that can serve us all is refreshing. Her new Solari calculator app is a wonderful introduction to an exciting world of ideas and possibilities that are right there waiting–in your iPhone.

Getting Started

“It started out so simply,” she says during a phone interview in Silicon Valley where she is the guest speaker at yet another finance-oriented seminar.

Catherine eventually consulted her friend, precious metals dealer Franklin Sanders of the Money Changer, and together they decided that a great way to bring some of that wealth back to Main Street would be if people would get in the habit of using precious metals in everyday scenarios.

Solari Silver & Gold Payment Calculator

The App

Eventually, they created the payment calculator app that can, in seconds, let you compare the prices of precious metals coins like the American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf and others using instant quotes from goldmoney.com . It also gives you an option to figure out an exchange rate with a dealer premium or without. Another aspect of the app is the ability to determine based on the face value of your gold or silver coins what the value is in today’s dollars. How many gold dollars does it take to have the amount of your Bahamas vacation? Can your ten silver eagles pay for your mortgage payment? You’ll find out using the app in everyday situations.

Rich Tech Folk Building Their Island Utopia Off The Coast of San Francisco

By Andrew Dalton

Venture capitalist and Paypal co-founder Peter Thiel is inching closer towards realizing his dream of creating a government-free floating island utopia for tech startups off the coast of San Francisco. When last we checked in with Thiel and his cohort, former Google engineer and seasteading activist Patri Friedman, the idea was little more than a libertarian speech with some artist’s renderings attached. Now, riding a wave of investment capital from Thiel, the project has a website , a course to set sail, and a lineup of nearly 100 international technology companies that are ready to literally get onboard.

Catherine with Jon Rappoport, "Let's Go to The Movies - Part II"

“We think of film as a bullet that ignites consciousness We must serve as the stone that breaks silence, or the bullet that starts the battle.  ~ Raymundo Gleyzer

By Catherine Austin Fitts

In March, Jon and I did a Special called “Let’s Go to the Movies.” We each chose five movies that are powerful in explaining the world around us. It was hit!

So we are going to do it again but this time we will review our five (each) favorite documentaries.

If you enjoy documentaries, make sure to check out the special list I did on food documentaries – “Catherine’s List of Top Food Documentaries & Movies.” We have also covered lots of excellent documentaries in the Let’s Go to the Movies segment.  You can find a complete list of all the films reviewed through the end of 2011 in the appendix of the January 2012 Annual Wrap Up. Both lists are linked from your Subscriber Resource Page. Finally, we used to maintain a list of favorites on the blog which you can find here.

I will start with Money and Markets and Ask Catherine. Please post your questions on the blog.

Talk to you Thursday!

Facebook Prices at Top of Range in Landmark IPO

By Olivia Oran and Alistair Barr

New York/San Francisco (Reuters) – Facebook Inc priced its initial public offering at the top of its target range to raise more than $16 billion, as strong demand, particularly from retail investors, fuels anticipation of a big pop in the stock when it begins trading Friday on the Nasdaq.

Predictions of how much the stock will rise on its first day of trade vary greatly — some experts said the high IPO price and increased float could limit gains to 10 percent to 20 percent, while others said anything short of a 50 percent jump would be disappointing given the hype.

Italian Court Rules MMR Vaccine Did Trigger Autism

Source: NYR Natural News

An Italian court has ruled there is a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.

In what may be a ground-breaking decision, the Italian Court of Rimini has ruled that causation between an MMR vaccine and the resulting autism in a young child “has been established.”

The unnamed child received the vaccine in March of 2004 and on returning home immediately developed adverse symptoms. During the next year the child regressed, receiving the autism diagnosis one year later and is now 100% disabled by the disease.

Accidentally Released - Documents Show How Goldman et al Engaged in 'Naked Short Selling'

By Matt Taibbi

It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes God smiles on us. Last week, he smiled on investigative reporters everywhere, when the lawyers for Goldman, Sachs slipped on one whopper of a legal banana peel, inadvertently delivering some of the bank’s darker secrets into the hands of the public.

The lawyers for Goldman and Bank of America/Merrill Lynch have been involved in a legal battle for some time – primarily with the retail giant Overstock.com, but also with Rolling Stone, the Economist, Bloomberg, and the New York Times. The banks have been fighting us to keep sealed certain documents that surfaced in the discovery process of an ultimately unsuccessful lawsuit filed by Overstock against the banks.

FDA-Approved Drugs Kill a Million Americans Per Decade!

By Jon Rappoport

The day of the Smoking Gun has arrived.

The discovery of a page, on the FDA’s own website, proves the FDA is fully aware that:

the drugs it certifies as safe have been killing Americans, at the rate of 100,000 per year.

The FDA website page is currently available under the heading, “Why Learn About Adverse Drug Reactions,” and it can be Googled. (Click here to go directly to the FDA page.)

And now the page on the FDA’s own website confirms the death toll. Yet, nowhere do we see the FDA taking one shred of responsibility for this ongoing holocaust.
