This Solari Special Report includes (22) challenges we must address to put our federal fiscal house in order.
QE3 – Pay Attention If You Are in the Real Estate Market
With QE3, we are essentially being bought out with our own money…and unemployment is being used to facilitate this process in a very clever manner. Monetary inflation is currently being offset by labor deflation. The way you avoid collapse is by printing money and stealing assets. The way you avoid inflation is with labor deflation.

The NSA, Edward Snowden and What It All Really Means with Jon Rappoport
“So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.” ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
By Catherine Austin Fitts
When you start to dig down into Edward Snowden’s background and story and the the ongoing NSA implementation of total digital global access and control, the number of things that don’t make sense or inspire questions quickly multiply.
So I was very glad when Jon agreed that he would unpack the unanswered questions on his show this week so Solari Report subscribers could look critically at this story – as well as stories like this.
The challenge we face when we observe people and events inspired, funded or used by the invisible hand of intelligence agencies and numerous private cartels and factions and spun by the media is that we need to see things from the point of view of the puppet masters.
Jon takes us inside the “mind” that crafts these type of situations and into the highest strategic level that wants a world where there is complete transparency on our side of the one-way mirror. It takes decades of research and experience to acquire this understanding – Jon synthesizes it brilliantly for you.
It’s Jon’s show this week -so no Money & Markets or Let’s Go to the Movies. Do post your questions for us on the blog!

Jon has created a new special collection which includes a wealth of his material on imagination and personal power. He is calling it Exit the Matrix. It comes with my highest recommendation!

Father Knows Best
Dear Friend and Reader:
Today’s article is from the “too scary to think about” file. One problem with this particular genre is that it leads most people into shutdown or mindless diversion mode just when what’s most necessary is to stay awake and pay attention. These days, it’s a thick file. Everything we hear about of any relevance tends to be so overwhelming that one’s nervous system goes into overload.
