1. Do you think that Jon Rappoport’s Web site NoMoreFakeNews.com was an inspiration for how often that term is now utilized by both Trump and the mainstream media today?

   1. Likely that Rappoport’s use and promotion of the term contributed to what WaPo got going.

      1. Thanks, Catherine. I figured that probably had to be the case, but I’m guessing that they won’t admit it!

2. Scott Adams explains how he is clawing back freedom of speech in the deceptively over-regulated and hyper-centralized social media world:

   Thought control freaks look to have a lively battle on their hands.

   1. Thanks for that, Jim. It was interesting to read that person’s direct experience of how much Twitter throttles back the spreading of opinions it doesn’t like.

   2. I always took the position that I would do nothing on social media because if our business depended on it, they would use that to manipulate us at the worst moment. I started to tweet not to contribute to the business but because I saw a kind of learning and connection go on. Unfortunately, Twitter is now slowly destroying their brand with the censorship.

3. Catherine…What conference will you be speaking at in Southern California on April 20th, and where is the conference being held? Also, will the Solari event you’ll be putting together in Southern California be held on April 20th, too?

   1. Jim:

      The date of the conference is still fluid, so the sponsors have not posted in on their website. As soon as they announce, I will post at EVENTS and put in update and Money & Markets.

      Thanks for your interest!

      Catherine
