“Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience—to appreciate the fact that life is complex.”
~ M. Scott Peck

This week, we continue the publication of our 1st Quarter 2023 Wrap Up. Dr. Joseph P. Farrell joins me for Part II of News Trends & Stories.

In Part II, Dr. Farrell and I go through the six components of Solari’s Building Wealth framework, summarized below, with Dr. Farrell contributing a number of fascinating “info-truffles.” Our aim is to translate the macroeconomic events we reviewed in Part I into actions you can take in your daily lives and work.

Part #1 – Your Free and Inspired Life: Building a free and inspired life is about aligning your investments of intention, time, and resources with your vision and purpose.
Part #2 – Navigation Tools: With discernment, you can find the intelligence you need for your personal strategic and financial planning.
Part #3 – Risk Management: In a high-friction environment, risk management is an essential investment for building personal and family wealth.
Part #4 – Living Equity: The people around you, your health and education, and philanthropy are phenomenal places to invest your time and resources.
Part #5 – Financial Equity: Use your understanding of how to build living equity to build financial equity—they are two sides of the same coin.
Part #6 – Turtle Forth: Move forward steadily, taking action and refusing to quit.

In Part II, Dr. Farrell and I also go over our perennial list of unanswered questions—a list that keeps getting longer! Fortunately, the list of heroes providing inspiration also continues to grow, and we describe some of the great people doing great things in the 1st Quarter.

After publishing the two parts of News Trends & Stories, we will continue with our theme: The Future of Financial Freedom with Richard Werner. This includes Richard’s excellent memo on “Why a Sovereign State Bank is Good for Tennessee.” We will then publish my Equity Overview for the 1st Quarter in early May.

Recognizing that each person’s circumstances are unique, we hope our News Trends & Stories discussion will help you determine the actions you can take and the tactics that are right for you.

Money & Markets

In Money & Markets this week, John Titus and I will cover the latest events and continue to discuss the financial and geopolitical trends we are tracking in 2023—and the growing pushback against corruption. Post questions at the Money & Markets commentary here.

  1. Hello again. A note regarding living wealth et al … In Canada, the warehousing of the elderly was part of a deliberate strategy to not only cull the elderly, but destroy family wealth by taking any and all financial assets to pay for the nursing home.

    In several provinces, legislation was introduced to allow the government to go back seven years to access family assets. This prevented mom and/or dad from transferring the family home or assets prior to entering care in an effort to avoid having the asset seized by the government.

    This process alone has transferred vast amounts of wealth out of families, and into the big medicine cartels.

    1. Found the phrase i was looking for …. the nursing home system was created to “siphon intergenerational wealth”, and thus reduce tue size and resilience of the middle class.

  2. Delightful chat thus far. I’m at the imagination discussion and thought you would enjoy an aboriginal concept relating to thinking and ideas … “To think is to listen to the cosmos”.

    Back to listening. ?

    1. First, if i shouldn’t comment so much, go ahead and tell me. I’m new, and totally cool with a quick smack lol.

      Second, on creating community currency, might i offer a couple of suggestions for those communities that might feel they need to start with things that are less complicated or threatening.

      1.) Barter bank. Attached is a link to an old, analog barter bank model in a place i lived thirty years ago. Very basic, and there are apps, and websites now that help get them started.

      2.) In lieu of a full fledged bank or currency, start mini projects such as peer to peer lending groups. I really got into this idea after encountering the book Saris on Scooters about women lead micro and peer lending in India.

      3.) Local REITs that focus on keeping land ownership local and that supports small farms and business. Goes nicely with item 2.

      I’ve been slowly tinkering with these ideas here on PEI.

      Creating a REIT is most pressing here as our island is well into an intentional takeover via land acquisitions by an Asian mega corporation.

      1. Sorry. Me again. Advice on how to turtle forth.

        First, ask someone who has been through Hell and survived with sanity intact. Chances are, they have excellent strategies and advice.

        I am one of those people, and what i learned is very simple.

        Be you. Be here. And be happy, because happiness is a choice.

        You’d be amazed what the human spirit can endure. ???

        1. Yikes, me again. Loved Joseph bringing up the front porch.

          During my stint with the UN, i learned that removing front porches was an intentional design decision done to separate families in neighbourhoods by moving from the front where they could connect, to the backyard, where they were isolated.

          The front porch was crucial to community cohesion because they kept neighbours connected. The old women sat out front and saw who was sick, who needed food, whose kids were getting in trouble.

          It was also a meeting place.

          And it was intentionally removed.

  3. Is this the L. Ron Hubbard novel/movie that was mentioned by CAF/JPF? It has a brief mention of “intergalactic bankers”.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(novel)

    https://archive.nytimes.com/thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/04/30/romney-favors-hubbard-novel/

    When asked his favorite novel in an interview shown yesterday on the Fox News Channel, Mitt Romney pointed to “Battlefield Earth,” a novel by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. That book was turned into a film by John Travolta, a Scientologist.

    The film was poorly reviewed, https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/10-remarkable-things-about-battlefield-earth/

    1. It was poorly rated on Rotten Tomatoes as well, 3% splat from critics and 12% audience rating. I have it on VHS and sincerely tried to watch it. I love Sci-Fi, but this was just too weird and incoherent to watch. It also stars Forest Whitaker, who played King Zuri in “Black Panther”, the Major in “Arrival”, Idi Amin in “The Last King of Scotland”, and the broadcast assistant to Robin Wms character in “Good Morning, Vietnam”. With a powerhouse actor like this and Travolta, you’d think the movie would be better, but it’s not. They can only do so much with the script and the storyline. I might try it again tonight, but I’ve learned over time that L. Ron Hubbard’s books / movies on The Apocalypse, End of Time, and Alien Invasion /Takeover are just too over the top and far-fetched for the general public and the geeks, so I don’t expect much.

      1. Even bad literature/movies can be used to illustrate and distribute metaphors for truth that is otherwise censored or controlled. The challenge is finding a decoder ring.

  4. Around 1hr 58 min Joseph mentions his publisher, David Hatcher Childress, and David’s book “Extraterrestrial Archeology” that is still in print (revised edition). Does not surprise me that he is Joseph’s publisher. Subject matter goes hand in hand. I recognized his name right off the bat because I am a mild fan of the TV series “Ancient Aliens”, and Childress was / is a major player in that, 2nd only to the guy with the wild hair, Giorgio Tsoukalos. I do miss the show, now in its 18th year, since I cancelled my cable TV 4 years ago due to otherwise sorry programming, intermittent internet service in the mornings when I most needed to check my work e-mails before hitting the road on my travel job, and poor customer service from that Xf company. My 2 TVs (analog tube type) are only used for VHS and DVD movies and series and books on CD that I have purchased or have borrowed from my public library, of which early seasons of “Ancient Aliens” is one of those selections. I control what I watch rather than have some corporate mogul decide for me the selections to be available or mindlessly turning on the tube to see what’s on. ?‍♂️

  5. Oh Catherine, how I needed to hear the words “turtle forth”. I have tears streaming down my face. For we physicians who have refused to buy into the non science nonsense of the last 3 years witnessing this plandemic nightmare unfold has been heartbreaking. We took an oath to first do no harm. We strive to SAVE patients. And the government institutions I once TRUSTED are purposefully causing needless death and suffering. I will NEVER trust the government again. I love my country. I hate my government. I will continue to turtle forth.
