“Now we are aiming at Iran. The rumors in Washington (true or false we’ll soon know): around August we’ll be heading toward Iran from bases which are being established in eastern Afghanistan. That’ll be our next war. What nobody takes into account, since these people are as ignorant as any group that has ever governed the United States…they don’t know that Persia is one of the oldest and greatest cultures in the history of the Earth. They’re sitting on a sea of oil. They have worked out uranium deposits. They’ve worked out nuclear weapons. And if you get them grumpy, they’re going to drop them on us, and we the people are going to be killed, because they, the gas and oil lobby, will have their islands off Samoa. They’ll be taking trips when the bad days come, or maybe, dare I say it, they will be enjoying the rapture. But, then, I’m an optimist.” ~ Gore Vidal, 2005

In the week following, in News Trends & Stories, Part II, we will cover the 10 top stories in Culture, Science, Space & Technology, and Food & Health and will discuss Unanswered Questions, Inspiration, and Take Action.
In May, we will publish our 1st Quarter 2019 Wrap Up theme: Will ESG Turn the Red Button Green? ESG (environmental, social, and governance) refers to three factors used to measure the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a business or enterprise. The question is whether ESG will bring real change or just more whitewashing and technocracy—made possible by the secrecy delivered with the help of national security law FASAB 56, combined with trillions delivered to the military-industrial complex by taxes, the sovereign bond market, and privatization.
For those of you who don’t know the Red Button story, here it is:
Understanding the red button problem that our leadership is managing will help you follow the push to start a war with Iran, despite the opposition of most Americans.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, check out Defamation, a fascinating documentary by a charming young Israeli documentary filmmaker who decided to go on a global hunt for anti-Semitism. With the U.S. State Department now appointing a special envoy to eradicate anti-Semitism, Texas speech therapists losing their job because they decline to sign a pledge to never boycott Israel, and New York Orthodox Jewish communities opposed to Israeli government policies targeted by vaccine witch hunts, Defamation provides fascinating background on the logic behind the new State Department policy that anti-Zionism is now—abracadabra!—anti-Semitism.
This is the last week of the month—so no Money & Markets. Post your questions and story suggestions for the Money & Markets for the first week in May here.
Talk to you Thursday!
I am deeply disturbed by the new 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. I wouldn’t have noticed except I was in Indiana recently and the Dems I met there are all agog. I started to look into his campaign and noticed with 24 hours of his meetings with the DNC and their big donors, Google had been scrubbed and the algorithms change to shut out other candidates. I have some training in hypnosis and have noticed a very skillful use of hypnotic patterns in his interviews. He is not the Manchurian candidate. He is more dangerous. He has the ability to program us. He has been chosen. Please have someone on to talk about this use of Conversational hypnosis and Neurolinguistic Programming. I think it’s timely as we watch the circus unfold. The Solari report continues to help me keep my sanity. Thankyou Catherine for continuing to be the luminous being you are.
Some die hard Sanders fans are in my social circle… to a person they pointed out he was ex Naval Intel with the Naval reserves (…and they comment on how many Dem candidates are ex-CIA or other Intel)
Attended Harvard, Pembroke College and Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.
Sure looks like a globalist cut out character.
I am not sure if David Yates is talking about Bernie…
If you are saying that Bernie Sanders was a navy intel, Rhodes scholar, And attended Harvard – I find no evidence of that.

from snopes, 2016, the only source I found covering Bernie’s possible military service by quoting articles from ABC
An ABC News article about Sanders and the draft reported that Sanders’ campaign confirmed his application for status as a conscientious objector, noting that his anti-war stance in the 1960s was a well-known matter of record.
So while it was true that Sanders sought conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War draft, that cannot in any way be conflated with the specific meaning of the term “draft-dodging.” Further, Sanders was eligible for student deferments until at least 1964, when he graduated from the University of Chicago. By the time his number came up, Sanders was too old to be drafted.
Army Times archive (cited by snopes) On paper, Sanders doesn’t have a lot in common with veterans.
He never served in the military because he was too old to be drafted when his draft number came up. He protested the Vietnam War as a University of Chicago student in the 1960s and stressed his opposition to the war during his failed Senate bid in 1971.
When Bernie began to run for president, some political sites accused him of draft dodging.

Also sounds like a smart guy. Too bad he let Clinton lose the election for the Democrats. Sanders vs. Trump would have been a real campaign. We will publish my interview with Patrick Woods in 2 weeks on Technocracy. Unfortunately, Sanders is helping to create a technocracy.
I will check him out.

Reading Gore Vidal’s quote from above, are there islands off of Samoa with significance, or is his mention of this figurative?
Thank you, as always, for the tremendous work that you and the Solari Team do!!
I assume this was figurative but have not checked
