In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review the winner of the Solari Report Movie of the Year for 2019—the riveting TV series Yellowstone, created and written by Taylor Sheridan and John Linson with excellent acting by lead Kevin Costner. The second season aired in 2019, offering remarkable insights regarding the nature of American land and resource wars and the “real deal” on going local—Deep State Tactics included. The global “land rush” is on—and the more central banks print money and the higher the stock market goes (let alone the lower the energy price goes and the larger the population grows), the more violent the land rush gets.
In Money & Markets this week, I will discuss the financial and geopolitical news to watch for in 2020. E-mail your questions for Ask Catherine or post at the Money & Markets commentary here.
Talk to you Thursday!

Deep State Tactics 101:
it appears that we will have to do a Amerexit (working out so well for the British) because I’m sure this legislation will pass. We also need a new category in the Trump report card.
DECEIT: I give Trump an A
When you are running a country without no legal, financial, physical or political sovereignty – that is what happens. Red button problem. Lies required.
I was listening to you and Dr. Farrel talk about how Trump got us out of NAFTA but I don’t think you are aware that Trump supports the USMCA (the north American trade union similar to the EU along with seed money in the legislation for a bank. Will that be like the European Central Bank?). It just past in the house last month and is coming up for a vote in the Senate shortly. just like fasab 56, It seems to me they are all coming together (left,right and Trump) to screw the people over again while everyone is distracted by the CIA controlled media with their new fake war. this link provides a brief overview. https://www.jbs.org/wp-content/upload…
Yes, excellent point. The commentary after the new bill was past is that it is no improvement. The link you posted did not work. I think it is this one.

Do not be shocked if the Silk Road is another bubble. The high frontier we speculate is controlled thoroughly by globalists would make short work of anything on the surface–including aircraft carriers. The challenger banks who finance the Silk Road would then be held hostage. Remember what you said: nobody trusts the Chinese. I think what we’re really seeing is the complete industrialization of Planet Earth– which is to say they have a luxury alternative to it.
I am sure it is. The push to float loans is greater than ever. The hardest job for the Chinese is to have strong standards to achieve positive returns. However, in this rush and pressure, hard to do. Yes, complete industrialization madness.
I just watched that German public broadcasting outfit’s video on artificial intelligence. It featured an elderly woman who would be looked after by sensors all over her and a set of Google Glass type eyewear that would tell her what to do. She wasn’t too into it, but it was some attention, which is what she craves. What all the inventors don’t seem to realize is that machines are not substitutes for feeling things and people need to feel useful, not pampered, despite the Sandals commercials. I’m not saying we should all go Amish, but I think we can refuse more technology in our own lives and let the chips fall where they might. We all need to recover our creative selves, and those certainly do not need to be digitalized and therefore, trivialized.
Could not agree more. Best thing in the world is we all simply walk away. This is an industry that deserves and has earned total shunning.
I live in South Australia – just in the past 24 hours a third of Kangaroo island – a beautiful natural wildlife and tourist area has been wiped out by fire – including my mum’s and brother’s friends and their families. I believe this is disaster capitalism – Australia’s conservative government has been publically resistant to the climate alarmist narrative. I fear that in the wake of this public pressure will force us to bow to the carbon taxation and renewable energy agenda.
Lots of special interests will use it this way. However, facts matter, so don’t quit doing what you can to send it in a better direction.
This is being promoted. In this instance the term socialism is no different than corporate greed that wins on both sides of the ideological wars. https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevehanke/2019/07/16/the-democrats-plan-to-nationalize-land-democratic-socialism-in-action/?fbclid=IwAR3HJsBMFEFGDsQ7q3jEiYyHcjVmO38Mev96iEu6qRb-U9k1JxFPsdoDVKw#5274bca21860
Yellowstone is one of my favorites, with two complaints. First, all the tribal councils I know, the council members show up in jeans, not suits. Second, in a classroom scene, Kelsey Chow’s character, Monica Dutton, lectures the evil bad nasty white guys on how Columbus brought slavery and other bad things to the Americas. Being of both American Indian and European descent, I really dislike how history is being rewritten to portray the native population as “noble savages.” My native ancestors took slaves, made war, did all the same bad things as people in Europe and elsewhere, because human natures is in every place and at all times the same. Beyond that, I really enjoy the series. My best friend, who, after making my tribe’s casino happen, is now being targeted by the politically correct scolds, who are trying to push him out now that he has delivered a source of money for them, is now working with Amazon Prime to develop and produce a series that focuses more on modern tribal culture. The working title is simply The Tribe. I’ve read the pilot script, and it will show the good, the bad and the ugly sides of tribal politics. No…ahem…white washing.
Oh, how insightful! Ok if I read this as part of my review?
Who, me? Of course, I’d be delighted if you did.
In conversation with a local architect. I spoke of how troubling it is that the FED is showering Wall St. with $3T this month. He actually said …everyone knows those debts will never be repaid. I was flabbergasted. He was literally gleeful. I couldn’t believe it. An educated person believes that! He said a friend on WS is getting a $185 K bonus. He doesn’t know what to do with it. Troubling!
We also spoke of the 150 year old hardwood forests being clear cut in S. Carolina to be shipped to Britain to be burned in furnaces to produce electricity. A sick loophole in the wood pellet industry. He did not believe it. Wake up people.
From Dogwood Alliance:
snip-
Bioenergy: Responding to the new threat of burning trees to provide power to Europe, we launched the Our Forests Aren’t Fuel Campaign. Partnering with frontline communities, we are successfully petitioning the EU Parliament to stop this practice. Whole countries in Europe are saying no to biomass, and the industry is losing its economic strength as plants shut down.

Could you explain a bit about just how these debts will be paid?
I have a sinking feeling that many assets will just be confiscated. Like, National Parks.
Which debts? Sovereign debts can be easily paid with fiat currency. No reason for them not to be paid unless you want to collapse the system. Question is with the currency be worth anything?
I am referring to debt held by foreign entities. If they will not accept the depreciated dollar I think they will demand real tangible assets. China and other countries will not take a loss. I suppose that’s when the real hot war starts.
They have no choice but to accept the dollar for their debt – that is the terms of the debt they hold. They can, of course, dump the paper at a discount. That is a threat that they can trade for some assets. The real pain is when they will not accept dollars in trade for their products and natural resources – skyrocketing the expense structure of Wal Mart et all and driving household inflation to 8-14% a year – oh wait, that is what it is now. 🙂
Haha!
Well, thank you for this explanation. It is more clear to me now.
But, when some say the debt will never be paid that is not exactly reality. It will be paid indirectly and will cause a great deal of pain for the regular people. Those in the upper classes will not pay the debt. How clever.
