  1. Here’s a link to an interview with Robert David Steele, former CIA agent, where he mentions that one of the reasons Michael Flynn had to go was because he had discovered that one of Mike Pence’s closest friends was involved in pedophilia. In addition, he’s got some good ideas in here for Donald Trump, he discusses the three main forces that are attacking him, and he mentions that Catherine Austin Fitts has given the single, most important piece of advice for Donald Trump during one of her recent interviews. 🙂

    1. My recommendation is to avoid Steele. He presents a lot of a ideas. A few are good. Some, like a Constitutional agenda, would destroy the country.
      I don’t know if Steele is disinfo or poor judgement. They lead to the same place.

      1. OK, Catherine. Thanks. I thought his idea of getting Trump to bring together Dennis Kucinich, Cynthia McKinney, and Jesse Ventura along with Trump was interesting, if they’d all want to do it.

        Trump may be addressing the country live on TV on February 28th, and if so it should be very interesting. 🙂

        1. In the first 100 days, best to help folks do what they are trying to do in a manner that does not take up any of their time. Trump and his team are aware of all those folks. They can reach out of they want to. They need a respite from 1MM people trying to use up their time telling them what to do and each of us picking up a piece and doing something that either MAGA or makes their load lighter and easier.

  2. Happy President’s Day, indeed. The depicted glum countenance of G. Washington speaks volumes of his reputedly pensive nature, at least as characterized in the 1969 Broadway play “1776.” The Father of Our Country’s gloomy missives from the Revolutionary War front punctuate an otherwise rowdy and often bawdy theatrical depiction of the Continental Congress that delivered the Declaration of Independence in foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy…Philadelphia during that year’s summer.
    Fast forward to 2017 and we have the ordinarily garrulous Donald Trump whom to wish Happy President’s Day. It seems however that all too many instead wish this man ill, and that’s a real problem for our national fortunes. Much as Thomas Pynchon in ‘Mason & Dixon’ brilliantly selected the so-named line as the culprit in our shaky history of federal feng shui, the business of today’s malign partisans who self-referentially presume their own righteousness in undertaking what they have styled a ‘resistance,’ ensure that our national karma shall be the ultimate victim. One might imagine that a happy president would tend to spread what he has, while one made to be unhappy might just do likewise.

    1. Who is responsible to MAGA? Until we share responsibility for MAGA, and are looking at REAL numbers as we do, aint nothing going to work.

      Here is from a article published in 2001:

      “Our task is to look at the world and see it whole.”
      — E. F. Schumacher
      An entrepreneur who grew up on a small island once explained why small islands produced a much higher percentage of people who were good at starting and building successful businesses. He said it was because when a person grows up on a small island, you see how everything is connected. It is much easier to learn how to take responsibility for the whole — to see how all time and energy is precious and never to waste anything. People who grow up on small islands, he said, understand that “a penny saved is a penny earned.”

      He had been taught from the time he was a small child to connect the behavior of individual people with how everything works around him. He said that he had learned to adjust his behavior so that it contributed to the system working in the way he hoped it would. His family, his school and his church all encouraged him to take responsibility for the whole in practical concrete ways. People who grow up on small islands, he said, understand that “what goes around comes around.”

      My friend said that America is just a very big island, but most Americans do not know this — nor do they understand that the planet is also just an even bigger island. They cannot connect how the system works — particularly the aspects of the system they do not like — with their individual actions. They do not have even simple maps of how things connect. They do not understand their own power to vote with their thoughts, their choice of friends and spouse, their actions and how they spend their money every day. People who grow up on small islands, he said, “see the world whole.”

      Most Americans look at our situation from their own individual points of view. From every degree of the circle, there is a different definition of what ails us, of why our system isn’t working, and what the solutions are. Often, what we perceive as our own individual problems are really just the symptoms each person experiences of the deeper problems that we all share. Too many times, the solution is to blame or attack someone, or to propose that more government or private capital be spent in a futile attempt to keep the wolf from the door. Without a simple map of where we are and how to get to a better place together, we have forgotten that we are in this together and at the simplest level, you simply can’t eat what you don’t grow.

      1. As we look upon the scene before us, it seems like the invocation of Walt Kelly via Pogo fits here:
        “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Perhaps if we combine this with the old saw “The enemy of my enemy is my friend,” we come ’round to “Why can’t we be friends?”

        I’d kinda’ like to be the president
        So I could show you how your money’s spent

        Why can’t we be friends
        Why can’t we be friends
        Why can’t we be friends
        Why can’t we be friends

        Sometimes I don’t speak right
        But yet I know what I’m talking about

        Chorus

        I know you’re working for the CIA
        They wouldn’t have you in the mafia…

        :-/

  3. Catherine…I love the red glasses you were wearing during your most recent interview with Greg Hunter. 🙂

  4. Catherine,

    Every time I listen to your money and market updates it feels as if you are advising the president directly and we are privileged to be part of the conversation.

    We all know how much you love DC. It’s a great way for you to advise without you being a real advisor and living in the swamp of DC.

    You’re doing a great service for our country and I hope someone on the Trump team is listening.

    Catherine you really are one of my heroes.

    Thank you so much.

    1. This was an intentional plan to make clear how without judgement they really are. Very effective IMO and well deserved.

      1. could it be Trump has teamed up with Russia to battle the piggies?

        He had to have help with this.

        1. Unlikely. It would not surprise me if the people helping Trump from behind the scenes also have been helping Putin.
