“So near is falsehood to truth that a wise man would do well not to trust himself on the narrow edge.” ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero

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!

“Life is a story…You can choose your story.” ~ Yann Martel
By Catherine Austin Fitts
This week we are starting our new format on The Solari Report!
On Thursday afternoon, we will post my interview with Rainey Reitman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation about Internet Freedom. As we become ever more dependent on our digital infrastructure and the companies who manage portions of it, profound and complex questions are arising over governance, rights, privacy and enforcement within cyberspace. Our goal is to provide you with an overview of the issues before us and actions you can take to protect your privacy as well as to contribute to those leading the efforts in legislatures and court rooms to ensure the same.
Our live Thursday evening presentation continues a 30 minute format with Money & Markets, Ask Catherine and Let’s Go To the Movies, so please post your questions for me at the blog.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review Ang Lee’s remarkable movie, The Life of Pi, based on the equally remarkable book by Canadian author Yann Martel. Surviving a ship wreck that kills his family who is transporting the animals from their Indian zoo, a young man named Pi is stranded on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger.
Talk to you Thursday!
Transcript of Open Source Intelligence with James Corbett is now available to Subscribers!
From the transcript:
Catherine: Okay – so with that, let’s turn to our interview. I first met James Corbett several years ago. He called up and – or he emailed up and said, “Let’s do a Podcast,” and we did. I was very impressed and since have been a follower and fan of his work. The Corbett Report is an independent news source. It’s a Podcast. James started it in 2007. He’s a Canadian based in Japan. The website operates on the principles of what he calls “open-source intelligence.”
He does an excellent job of framing and communicating critical issues. When I start to research a new topic, he is one of my go-to people and go-to websites to see – I see, “Has James covered it? Has he framed it? What does he think is important?” So his opinion absolutely counts, and it counts with me, and it’s the kind of open-source intelligence that can make your life much better because he does such a great job of sleuthing out the real deal based on a wide variety of open sources and is very good at integrating issues. So with that, James, are you with us?
“As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.” ~ Benjamin Disraeli
By Catherine Austin Fitts
This week on The Solari Report, I will be speaking with James Corbett of The Corbett Report.
This will be a wide ranging conversation full of tips on how to enjoy the best open source intelligence on the planet.
James is based in Japan, so we will also get an update on the Japanese economy, including what their monetary policy is doing to global stock markets and currency wars and what Fukishima is doing to our ecosystems. James will share with us the key trends he watches as publisher of the The Corbett Report.
I will start with Money & Markets and Ask Catherine. Please post your questions on the blog.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will invite James to discuss the growing media effort to denigrate humanity – with tips on how to not let it get you down. For our video selection on this topic, have a look at the Corbett Report’s “The Meaning of Life.”
Episode 267 – The Meaning of Life
Talk to you Thursday!
“I speak of peace, while covert enmity under the smile of safety wounds the world.”
~ William Shakespeare
By Catherine Austin Fitts
I was describing a “limited modified hangout” the other day, and got a request to do a Solari Report on the topic. Upon reflection, I realized that the master of teaching how such false stories, indeed whole maps of false realities, are engineered is our very own Jon Rappoport. So I asked Jon if he would create a report for you that explains “limited modified hangouts” – what they are and how they are used.
If I were going to develop a curriculum called “The Real Deal 101,” this recording would be mandatory listening in it. Jon does a brilliant job of describing “limited modified hangouts,” and then proceeds to scale up from how they are individually constructed and applied, to the wider hangouts that protect a covert system built around a clear strategic goal of draining and limiting your power.
My goal – as it is with so many Solari Report’s – is to help you see the game and become that much more immune to these kinds of institutional lies and spin. That is an important step to restoring and renewing your personal power.
Jon delivers and more – underscoring fundamental insights essential to help each of us “exit the matrix.”
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!

“In a world where more than half of the population – that is, more than 3 billion people – live along river courses shared by two states or more, and where many of the big world players – such as the USA, China, India, Germany, France, Brasil, Turkey and Canada – are either upstream or downstream states in large international rivers… water as a geopolitical factor can hardly be exaggerated.”
-Roar Hagen, Graham Chapman & Terje Tvedt, Water, Geopolitics and Collective Power in the New World Order
By Catherine Austin Fitts
This week on The Solari Report I will be speaking to Terje Tvedt. I could not be more delighted that Tvedt has agreed to join us.
The power and importance of water to the question of how we govern our resources – whether in a community or globally – and how we achieve cooperation and peace, as Tvedt says, “can hardly be exaggerated.” Tvedt should know – he has spent a lifetime studying the social and political dynamics of water.
Terje Tvedt is presently professor at the Department of Geography, University of Bergen, and Professor in Global History, University of Oslo, Norway, as well as a professor in political science and development studies. He is the author of a wide range of books about water and water bodies, has written/co-directed documentary films and been the leader of a number of national and international research networks and research projects on these topics. His newest book, A Journey in the Future of Water, is expected this year.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review Even the Rain, a Spanish film directed by Icíar Bollaín about a director and producer who travel to Bolivia to make a film about Christopher Columbus and instead are swept away by the 2000 Cochabamba protests. The protests reversed the privatization of the local water company with foreign investors and produced the Cochabamba Declaration. The experience of Cochabamba is a counterpoint to privatization supporters who believe that optimizing water investment and allocation requires corporate ownership and management. These strategic issues are critical to the efforts to centralize seed and agriculture that we discuss on The Solari Report.
I will start with Money & Markets and Ask Catherine, including the extraordinary shifts we are experiencing in G-7 policies re-engineering capital flows. We will record our interview with Tvedt on Wednesday – so post your questions on the blog for the interview by Tuesday pm.
Talk to you Thursday!

Transcript of Coming Clean: My Water is Wonderful with Dan Hillard is now available to Subscribers!
From the transcript:
Catherine Austin Fitts: We have tried for many years to find someone to answer some subscriber questions about how they filter their household water and how they make sure that their house water is of the highest quality. And after much research and talking with a variety of experts, we decided we would be much better off with someone who had practical experience and hands-on experience doing this as a business. And we finally discovered LifeSource water systems in Pasadena, California, which has been developing water systems for residential, commercial, and industrial applications since the ‘80s and had the opportunity to meet and talk with Dan Hillard, their director of marketing, who, as you will soon find out was the perfect person to do this. So, Dan, are you with us?
Dan Hillard: Yes, I am.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Well, thank you very much for joining us on The Solari Report. For years, we have gotten many questions on this and so we are delighted to finally have you to answer. Why don’t we start with you explaining what you do, what the company does, and why you do it?
“If you gave me several million years, there would be nothing that did not grow in beauty if it were surrounded by water.” -Jan Erik Vold

One of the advantages of serving as Assistant Secretary of Housing – Federal Housing Commissioner was that I got to meet hundreds of exceptional experts in the world of housing and real estate. After leaving that position, I chose the one I considered the smartest and most experienced about both real estate and value creation throughout an entire community. I asked her what was the single most important variable that contributed to the success of a place. Without a second’s hesitation, she looked me straight in the eye and said one word – “water.”
Having clean water is essential for life and health. I live in a farming community and have the benefit of my own well and a whole house filter. As I travel, I experience a wide variation in the availability and quality of water. I see the impact that excellence in water quality has on people’s health and economic vitality.
Bottom line: if you want a happy home and vibrant health, you need to make sure your water is excellent.
This week on the Solari Report I will be speaking to Dan Hillard, Director of Marketing since 2002 at LifeSource Water Systems about how to ensure that your household water is of the highest quality. Based in Pasadena, California, LifeSource is a family business that has been developing water systems for residential, commercial, and industrial application since 1984.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review Water – The Great Mystery, a 2008 documentary that explores the unique properties of water and explores recent theories and research seeking to improve our understanding and appreciation of water.
I will start with Money & Markets and Ask Catherine, so post your question at the blog.

Transcript of Precious Metals Market Report with Franklin Sanders and Stewart Thomson is now available to Subscribers!
From the transcript:
Catherine Austin Fitts: Well, I’m in San Francisco and you’re in Tennessee, which is why I didn’t get a great dinner tonight. Anyway, so I want to just remind you that the last precious metals market report, you and I were talking about how remarkable it was that Goldman had predicted that we were going to get a big drop and had invited all their clients to sell or to short and then the next day, nothing happened, and of course that was Thursday before the Friday and Monday where we had the big drop.
Franklin Sanders: Right. Exactly.
Catherine Austin Fitts: So anyway, bring us up to date. What’s happened since we last talked?
By Catherine Austin Fitts
This week on the Solari Report, Franklin will be in Tennessee and I will be in the San Francisco Bay Area. We will have plenty to discuss!
Franklin will update us on what has happened in the markets since we spoke last, including the remarkable drop in prices in the last half of April and the divergence between the physical and paper markets. We will also answer your questions. Don’t forget to post them at the blog.
We will be joined by Canadian Stewart Thomson of Graceland Updates. I have been a subscriber of Stewart’s for many years. He has some of the finest coverage of “bankster tactics” with excellent advice on how to manage your assets in the face of unprecedented volatility.
One of the things we will focus on is where the bottom may be for gold and silver prices, how to manage your holdings accordingly, and where the opportunities may be.
In Money & Markets this week I will discuss signs that central bankers are trying to engineer a “planetary debt-for-equity swap”, including reports that central banks are now buying equities in significant amounts.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review The Champagne Safari, a documentary which tells the story of the Bedaux Canadian Subarctic Expedition, which was an attempt by millionaire Charles Bedaux to cross the British Columbia wilderness during the Great Depression in 1934, while making a movie and quite a lot of fuss!
