“Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.” ~ Wayne Dyer

By Catherine Austin Fitts

It’s time to begin our 3rd Quarter 2019 Wrap Up. My announcement of our cover and 3rd Quarter theme “Take Action!” is here.

This Thursday, we publish the first in our two-part publication of the News Trends & Stories for the 3rd Quarter 2019 Wrap Up. Dr. Joseph P. Farrell joins me for our analysis of what is happening in 2019 and what lies ahead.

In Part I, we look at the top stories in Economy & Financial Markets and Geopolitics. We also fill in the Trump Report Card for the 3rd Quarter.

Our 3rd Quarter 2019 Wrap Up web presentation is a work in progress that grows as we publish our weekly segments; Solari Report subscribers can access it in subscriber links when the audio is posted. The stories and headlines for Part I will be posted by Thursday evening. Use your Solari password to login!

I hope you take advantage of both Part I and the following week’s Part II; I know of no better round-up of the deeper news than these quarterly discussions. Our team invests significant time each quarter to collect and convert months of headlines into actionable intelligence to give you mastery of the economic, political, and cultural flows and the risks through which we navigate.

Just when I feel I have achieved a synthesis, I sit down with Dr. Farrell and something remarkable happens. Joseph’s understanding of history, science, and culture—and his ability to integrate across many sectors—takes the conversation into a whole new mind. Our discussions this month were as insightful and fun as ever.

Here are our choices for the top stories for Part I:

Economy & Financial Markets:

  • Story #1: Secret Books, FASAB 56, and Financial Coup Consolidation: U.S. Securities Markets Go Dark
  • Story #2: Central Banks Flail Around
  • Story #3: Slowbalization
  • Story #4: High Strangeness in the Bond Market
  • Story #5: Trade and Control Wars

Geopolitics:

  • Story #6: Technocracy Databeast Encroaches Across the Globe
  • Story #7: New Leadership in the EU Faces the Brexit Blues
  • Story #8: “Out of Control”
  • Story #9: Washington Faces Off with a Multipolar World
  • Story #10: Geopolitical Disney World
  • Trump Report Card

In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will discuss a new documentary Untouchable: The Rise and Fall of Harvey Weinstein. The financial coup period that marked globalization financed enormous power for New York elites. Movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was one of them. Once the coup was over and the Clintons lost the 2016 election, Weinstein joined the ranks of the “expendables.” This time, there was plenty of dirt to dig up—all involving sex with women of consenting age—making it a welcome white-out to coverage of Epstein and other pedophilia scandals.

Post your questions and story suggestions for Money & Markets for this week here.

Talk to you Thursday!

  1. Hello Catherine:
    During Part 1 of your wrap-up you mentioned that you has engaged in a deep dive on Warren Buffett. Did you publish your findings? Very curious about this enigmatic individual inspite of his public persona. Thanks.

      1. Was always interested monopoly buffet and his stock holdings.

        31-min mark of “Technocracy Databeast Encroaches Across the Globe”

        You said “They want to do a major amount by rail” what are you referring too? Also if you could explain the steam engine?

        1. They believe railroads will be highly efficient vehicles for significant transportation of goods.

          Steam engines = resilient and economic.

          1. Thank you

            Both of us are enthusiastic about BNSF’s future because railroads have major cost and environmental advantages over trucking, their main competitor. Last year, BNSF moved each ton of freight it carried a record 500 miles on a single gallon of diesel fuel. That’s three times more fuel-efficient than trucking is, which means our railroad owns an important advantage in operating costs. Concurrently, our country gains because of reduced greenhouse emissions and a much smaller need for imported oil. When traffic travels by rail, society benefits.-Buffet

  2. Dr Farrell said that they are going to try make the euro a reserve currency in Africa and then leverage that into the rest of the world. Well, the euro already has a strong foothold in Africa, albeit indirectly, via the CFA franc. The CFA is currently used by around 155 million people in 14 countries in West and Central Africa, 12 of them former French colonies.
    The CFA franc is pegged to the euro (It was previously pegged to the French franc) and it is guaranteed by the French treasury. France requires CFA member countries to deposit at least 50% of their foreign exchange reserves, currently about €10 bn, into a special account in the French treasury. In return, France guarantees the unlimited convertibility of CFA francs into euros.
    Defenders of the CFA franc say that the currency stability keeps inflation down. It’s less than 2% for the West African Economic and Monetary Union. This stability is attractive to investors and brings in more money to the region.
    Critics of the CFA, however, say it is a “colonial relic” and argue that whereas countries can use currency rates to influence their economy, for example by devaluing their currency they can make the price of goods they produce cheaper and boost exports, CFA franc countries can’t independently set their exchange rate.
    With the CFA franc tied to the strong euro, their prices are automatically higher. This not only reduces the competitiveness of their economies, it also favours imports from countries with weak currencies, such as China.
    The 15 ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) countries have long pledged to establish a common currency. I expect the UK, and by extension also the US, prefer an arrangement which would diminish France’s power and influence, so it will be interesting to see which way it goes.

    1. Fascinating. If you look at the new proposal to expand the EU Army to a significant size, the push to grow the Euro is clearly on.

  3. Great interview as usual.

    Catherine, both you and Joseph gave President Trump high marks in War Games & Effort and wondered where does he get his endurance.

    As a young boy Donald attended Norman Vincent Peale’s Marble Collegiate Church in NYC where he absorbed the “New Thought” of thinking can change the world around us. Trump thru his adulthood until Peale’s death in 1993 had a very close friendship with Dr. Peale and probably had a great deal to do with Trump’s positive self-image and his rhino thick skin.

    New Thought thinking is when the mind can influence reality directly and mental effort can make things happen. The observer influences the observed.

    Steiner stated “minds are not witnesses but co creators of the world around us”.

  4. Dear Catherine
    Is the Mervyn King book that you refer to in Part I 3Q Wrap-Up interview with JPF titled “The End of Alchemy”? Thanks!
