  1. Hi Catherine,
    I am new to your show and have heard you mention 3.0 areas to live vs. 2.0 areas. Do you have a list of these places with an explanation of their meaning? Currently, I am looking at various areas of the U.S. to relocate. Right now I am in Los Angeles. My preference would be to relocate approximately 1 hour to 2 hours outside of a major city with airport access. Regardless, I would love to access more information. Thank you for your time.

    1. Kate:

      My recommendation is to read the pdf for last three annual wrap ups as well as the 1st quarter 2014 and 2015 and 3rd quarter 2014 wrap ups. You can find all of these listed in the Wrap Up Library to your Resource Page.

      The 3rd Quarter 2014 Wrap Up specifically focuses on 3.0. However, I would start with the 2013 Wrap Up and go chronologically.

      Some of the cities positioned to benefit from the shift to 3.0:

      Portland
      Seattle
      San Francisco & Bay Area
      Austin
      Dallas
      Atlanta
      Salt Lake City
      Nashville
      Denver
      Boise

      As you are looking at the materials, send questions!

  2. Hi Catherine,

    So in Facebook news… (since you are not on FB)

    Today there was a live feed done by a man named Richard Greene interviewing a 13 year old genius physicist at the basement of the United Nations talking about Tesla technology and God.

    He gives his theories on god and energy but what I thought what was really fascinating that he wrote a children’s book explaining god. Watching the interview struck a nerve with me because it reminded me of the panel discussion from the Secret Space Program conference how physics is a religion. Here’s is this 13 year old “genius physicist” (the prophet) explaining god through science and technology (the revelation) at the UN (holy site/church).

    It gives me the creeps….

    I feel bad for the poor child who’s stupid hipster parent is going to buy and read this book to him/her.

    BTW, I don’t necessary disagree with his views of god. It’s the love of science and technology that’s giving me the creeps.

    I recorded the video from my screen. Here’s the link if it works. Otherwise if anyone is interested maybe google Richard Greene interviewing Maxwell Loughan at United Nations bookstore.

    All the best,

  3. Catherine. Recently (posted on Youtube July 18, 2016), Amy Goodman of Democracy Now interviewed Dr. Cornel West, a Cornell University, a prominent Democrat Socialist, political philosopher, and theologian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornel_West)

    Interview link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6pN6x6pGwA
    Dr. West sat on the Democratic Convention Committee and argent supporter of Bernie Sanders. He has now switched parties and is behind Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party, who in his view represents hope, and a politics of decency. In this brief interview he lays out his rationale as to why Hillary Clinton is a very dangerous option, a neoliberal disaster, a promoter of chaos and regime change, and deliberate undermining of disaster relief efforts in Haiti. His hope was that through these elections America could finally retire the neoliberal agenda and move on to something higher. He reviews the neoliberal ‘disaster’ which has resulted in the conditions we have today at home and why so many people are backing Trump as a result of this. He also believes that Mr. Trump is a neo-fascist in the making and calls out the role of the media is creating is rise. He calls out politics today as the politics of fear which has driven the campaign process for decades. Dr. Green is not a spoiler in his mind. Finally, Dr. West calls for a return to a politics centered around humanity and decency, a politics of love.

  4. Money and Markets for 7/21.2016. i bring thiis up reluectrantly, because it may sound like I am being overly critical. I am not , but am trying to be helpful. Major portion of Money and Markets for 7/1/2016 came thru somewhat mushy, and gutteral. The Answer for Catherine Fitts came thru much more understandable and crisp. Is this just in the transmission and my reception? Your system people should be able to adjust this , if it is a real problem. If they find it is not a problem, fine, and thanks for your attention.

  5. Catherine, I was just looking through some past interviews and wondering, with all that’s going on now, do you plan to have Dmitry Orlov on anytime soon? He’s a great guest for his grounding in the day to day reality.

    Thanks for all you do. I love the Solari Report.

    1. I like Dimitry and have had him on once- he is the only guest I have ever had who pulled a no show. So I am a bit careful. He has some great material on building resilience and on explaining the Russian point of view after the ’90’s.

  6. Your USA Watchdog interview was very good — it was clear, succinct, transparent and gave quick short answers to some of the questions that the candidates and electorate should be considering. Have you considered publishing it in a small booklet that people could give to their friends, etc, as questions for voters to consider? The time is right, and there are not many short documents that provide a lot of short insightful answers to questions many people have not thought to ask.

  7. Your recommendation looks very interesting; I will check it out.

    I’m interested in all aspects of the subject. Certainly, understanding it and its relationship with political power is very important, but I also like to look at it from other points of view. If the guardians (i.e. police) had a full understanding of the subject, we probably would have less psychopaths who get hired as officers, less officers would be killed, operations and investigations would be more successful, and relations between police and society would be better.

    Dr. Robert Hare’s, “Without Conscience, the Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us”, is a good one.

    Stefan Verstappen has some interesting interviews on the subject on youtube from a layman’s perspective.
