  1. Catherine –
    Thank you for the gripping discussion with Jon Rappoport.
    You and Jon provided uniquely insightful, complementary perspectives on this timeless plague … at what we all should appreciate is deep personal risk. The sober tone reflected not only the inhumanity of the topic but also the price people pay for discussing it at all.
    Your informed, measured analysis of what is otherwise an unspeakable never-ending tragedy may be a huge step toward pushing it into daylight and finally bringing it to and end.
    Double Bravo!

    1. Thanks, Jim. Have to wade through a lot of stuff to distill out a reasonable framework for a topic that is quite difficult for most people to fathom. Of course, then, there is always just watching Eyes Wide Shut…..
      🙂

      1. Eyes Wide Shut on its own was an interesting movie. But when recognizing that it appeared to be Stanley Kubrick’s way of telling us what was really going on, when combined with the fact that Stanley died just four days after premiering the movie to industry executives, this makes it even more interesting.

        1. One allegation is that in exchange for 2001 producing film that was used for the public version of the moon landing, he had a commitment that he could make whatever he wanted. No doubt someone was afraid of what he might do next.

          1. I read an article years ago where he said he was aware that he was constantly being followed and listened to, and that this was difficult for him. Along the lines of what you’ve said, when he directed the movie Barry Lyndon, there was only one lens in the entire world that could have given him that exact visual effect within the film, and that was NASA’s Carl Weiss lens, which they made available to him.

  3. It was interesting reading the Bloomberg article on the Home Page about James Baker and the other Republicans now stepping forward and trying to get Trump to implement a carbon tax to fight climate change. I knew that this was going to be coming. For someone like Baker to come out of the woodwork in pressing for this, there have to be powerful people operating from behind the scenes to bring him back out of the shadows to do their bidding for them. When have Republicans ever been about pressing for more major taxes? This is about more power, control, and enslavement. Taxing carbon allows them to tax almost anything, as even we the people emit carbon. The idea that powerful people like this could ever care about the environment is a joke, as it’s all just a ruse to take control of everything to a much deeper level.

    1. Yup. If you want to align with the environment, try basic law and markets. Oops bad for centralized control!

  5. FYI, Catherine. Gaslighting writ large. What kind of society investigates someone for hate speech when that person simply relates facts? He is simply saying that the emperor has no clothes. Totalitarianism did not die with the USSR it just morphed into some of the countries in the EU without some of the strict economic controls.

    1. Yes. However, it does not touch the number killed and life expectencies lowered by the pump and dump of the housing and mortgage markets. IMO, Goldman Sachs has killed far, far more. Worth estimating how many will die or have lower iife expectances by emptying out the pension funds with low interest rates and mortgage fraud and Internet stock bubbles. Or $27 trillion in bailouts and 11+ trillion in missing money. Or bringing narcotics into neighborhoods across America. Or millions dead in the middle east. When it comes to getting angry about killing, I like to look at things mathematically. As POTUS says…Lot of killers.

      1. Ohhh. I agree. The pirates in the suites are as ruthless as these non-citizen killers (they just live in nicer houses and drive fancy cars), but they are even more dangerous, because of the magnitude of the policies/programs that they oversee. I have long chafed at how the legal system is very often relatively easy on white collar criminals. Indeed, that is a constant thorn in my professional side. The best criminals set up the system so that the plundering they do is perfectly legal or they have the right connections to make sure they are not even investigated.

  7. Hello Catherine,
    I just signed the Petition at the link below to support an executive order to ensure privacy for school children in California concerning their medical records and if they have been vaccinated or not. Would you consider posting on your blog so that others might consider signing and/or donating? Thank you!
