  1. Hi CAF !! Several items! Thanks for all these great posts lately Catherine. I **love** seeing these old films of the Beatles, like this one, currently up on your website.

    Planetary update here: At about 5:30 pm west coast USA time (so figure it out for your own time zone) on Easter Sunday April 20 we’re going to have the lineup of the Cardinal Grand Cross of 4 planets that form, as I understand it, a ‘frame’ around the earth…..Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, Uranus… You can “StartPage Search” this subject and find info on it………. Besides this, there is a big beam of energy from The Great Attractor, which is a big blobby magnet, way out there in space… … This Great Attractor (another thing to StartPage search…) is sending a beam of energy that is coming into us right at 5:30 on Sunday….According to things I read, this has never happened before….. Should be a great period of rebirth, new energy…. We are in for very big changes….
    …………….
    Speaking of new energy, check this out… .This is brought to you by Hope Moore, also known as HopeGirl, who has been spearheading the free-energy project that has gotten legs and is being worked on all around the globe. ……Catherine, I think she’d be a great interview for Solari subscribers…….. She has truly taken a concept and run with it…. crowdfunded her project, had the prototype built ….. (fought off billionaires trying to squelch it…)……presented it to a big group of Asian engineers in Taiwan last month…. It is a “build it in your communities” kind of project and what is really neat is that she is injecting “Goddess Energy,” “the feminine creative paradigm” into it. She is talking about it and contrasting her hopegirl model, which you’ll see in this video, with the standard, stuck, competitive, low energy, centralized, unfair, historic familiar model that so many of us have labored under………and are trying to transform.
    ………
    Watch this video.. it’s about 50 minutes long. Very inspiring. Posted just yesterday April 18.

    THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO, CATHERINE ! ( :^)

  3. (I am beginning to think this is my private place for communication with Catherine… ha.) I do hope others are reading this as well because I am trying to point to what I have been reading that leads me to either opinions or questions.

    http://srsroccoreport.com/the-dark-side-of-the-silver-mining-industry/the-dark-side-of-the-silver-mining-industry/

    This article describes the fact that peak silver is probably a past event and in the typical curve that we have seen in peak anything, we are on the downslope of silver, as well. It was with interest that I then read Charles Hugh Smith who essentially said we have already gone over the top in terms of peak EVERYTHING. Thank you for introducing your rmembers to Mr. Smith; now, I have even MORE reading to catch up on! In terms of gold, reading Turd Ferguson, TFMetalsReport.com, he has repeatedly pointed to the fact that gold (paper: GLD) is being manipulated in the West primarily because the vaults in London are EMPTY. http://www.bloomberg.com/video/what-s-happening-to-all-the-gold-d33u1c23SDqA0p0e~9_INw.html I can only imagine that the rumor of similar empty shelves in Fort Knox are true. So what happens when “the people” find out that the gold paper is worthless because the physical has been so rehypothecated that it simply no longer exists (in the West)? Does this take gold to an all time high or to zero, does it affect the dollar and the Euro, and does that actually lead to the collapse that Ruppert, Celente, et al have been warning about for so long?

    And what happens if there is a collapse? Will those who have stored precious metals be able to salvage any of their savings in what seems like the only logical investment outside of real estate (that does means local and state land taxes, by the way). Will the government then tax the profits out of those investments when stackers utilize those assets to feed their families? This was a point made by Daniel Amerman in Franklin Sander’s latest Moneychanger interview; precious metals are not a direct savings of wealth due to the inherent taxes applied at the point of sale or exchange.

    I guess for me, the only way I can see to literally store my “wealth” is to use the monies that I have today to create a place where I can help sustain not only my immediate “family” (I am currently an actual family of 1… but have people for whom I am responsible that I consider my family) but my local community, as well. That means using ideas that Solari highlights for consideration, but also a number of other alternatives for maintaining a flow if/when the grid goes down, energy costs are so high that people can not afford to control their house climate or cook (we are at the beginning of that) and being able to feed the most people possible off the land that we have. It means building fences, greenhouses, gardens, perhaps purchasing a wood gasifier/generator to keep the wells going, and rethinking my house per Mat Stein’s input. I do hope I am not too late…

    In the early 1960’s when nuclear war seemed imminent, my mother and father, both physicians, set up our farmhouse basement as our shelter. We had sandbagged the windows of the thick limestone walled space, had food, water, medical supplies, all the basic household needs we would need to survive for almost a year. When asked why we were doing it, my mother replied that it wasn’t about her or my dad, it was about insuring that there would be intelligent people, us children, to help rebuild the world.

    I only hope that I have been able to learn enough to carry out her mission.

  4. To add something positive, I am SO looking forward to the Secret Space Conference (that one IS a conference, no?) at the end of June with Catherine, Dr. Farrell, Richard Dolan et al. I live in one of the few financially sound areas of the country that Catherine has pointed to due to the black budget operations and am very interested in finding out what this incredible assembly of brilliant minds has concluded. From a financial perspective, I think that losing out on investing in those corporations or hedge funds that represent a collection of these entities because you might not like what they are up to is a mistake. Investing in them and then taking profits to invest heavily in your local community, crowd funding, whatever floats your spiritual boat, is the way to move into the next global order and help pave the way for a new collective consciousness. Just as we should be prepared for “disclosure”, so should we be prepared for the 100th monkey.

    Having said that, I want to urge others, in case you have not seen it, to watch the documentary: Collapse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdO2Xh51Q-U. Michael Ruppert took his own life on April 13th due to a long battle with depression but his life’s work, covered in this video, is very much in line with everything that Catherine has both experienced and why she has been working so hard to enlighten us all.

    Thank you, Catherine. Most especially, thank you for your positive attitude that keeps us going and learning. God bless you.

    1. Good gosh, Catherine. I just realized that you DID know Michael Ruppert… and you knew him well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZNvSX3A7pc

      There must be many of us out here who wish we had been putting 1+1 together a long time before now. I don’t know if it would have helped Michael, but it clearly could not have hurt. The idea that he worked so hard with no one listening is incredibly dispiriting, especially when you see no alternative but to get everyone to act together and, instead, “You” (the American public) are watching Dancing with the Stars and thinking that all is just fine. I also know, first hand, that if someone is so plagued by depression that they pull off suicide, there is little to nothing anyone could have done to prevent it. My husband drank himself to death last July.

      That doesn’t keep me from wishing I had met him. I am very sorry, Catherine, that you lost a friend.

  5. Jane:

    Th event in Palm Springs is a lunch, not a conference.

    Ed Begley is not scheduled to be there. However, I am very familiar with Ed’s work. It is quite extraordinary and I recommend him to you. I think you would find that he is quite serious and has been working at this for many years, making quite a contribution.

    I posted the article from George Ure as he does a good job of pointing out the hypocrisy of things. The environmental activists are often used as fronts by a variety of groups. Happens all the time to lots of activists groups.

    I sympathize. I have to often seen my work and the work of other honest people be used too.

    Which is not to say that there are not a lot of accomplished people such as yourself doing very important things. They are.

    Apologize if you were felt drained by our postings. We aim to give energy, not drain it.

    Thanks for making your feelings known. I appreciate it!

  6. Ok. Me, again. This is my addition to the article, “Coping: Is There an Honest Environmental Movement?
    Urban Survival | 01 April 2014”.

    I am a retired landscape architect, MLA, taught at the U. Georgia, and then started a design/build firm in the Adirondacks. I have an undergraduate degree (BS) in conservation (forestry and wildlife management) and environmental education, naturalist curriculum, U. Michigan. Since I couldn’t get anyone to install my designs, I bought property (which included a wetland, an AMAZING bird sanctuary) and created an organic garden center. We were NYS certified (that takes 3 years) and in the interim, a regional convenience store decided to put gas pumps next to us with NO Adirondack Park restrictions (it took me 2 years to get the proper approvals due to the wetland of which I was the STEWARD) so I started a 501.3C to gather the funds from our community to sue the Adirondack Park Agency for letting gas pumps potentially pollute the wetland. Since there was the usual political shenanigans, the result was considered “a draw” but at least the local community was able to put restrictions on the convenience chain and the retention of potential disaster was contained. This is all verifiable, including an article in the NY Times.

    So, with that as a reference, I read the article “Is there an Honest Environmental Movement?” and was pushed to write this comment. I very much wanted to attend the Organic Conference that Catherine is leading in Palm Springs in May, but when the fact that it was being headlined by Ed Begley, Jr., for one, I threw in the towel. Good gosh. These people with absolutely NO credentials other than their money and “good intentions” takes me totally back to Catherine’s blog when she talked about being next to people who thought they were important. Sorry.

    THAT is precisely why there is no honest environmental movement. If you start with Hollywood, you might just get a bit of propaganda…. Good intentions, better yet, the “right reason” is often railroaded by the wrong people. I simply can’t be a part of that.

  7. It is enough that I have claustrophobia, but the PBS special on the megatower in Shanghai has me a little sick to my stomach. I own a Cessna 162, a light sport airplane, that is much like a very light version of Cessna’s most popular trainer, the 172. This light sport plane was designed to let the “average joe” learn to fly, inexpensively but safely, in a totally modern computer based cockpit. Instead, to save money, Cessna had the parts made in China and then assembled here in the US. As a result, the plane has had nightmare problems: wing strut root deficiencies, motor mount deficiencies, etc. It is not the result of poor design, it is the result of poorly manufactured parts.

    Envision yourself 1/3 of a mile in the air based on China manufactured parts. Typhoon interrupted electronics? How about an earthquake? You are getting down, how? Opening a window for fresh air… oh yeah, you are in Shanghai. I don’t really know the answer to trying to cram 20 million people into Shanghai, but this tower? Well, it just makes me very concerned.
