  1. After listening to your interview with Harry Blazer on the Deep State, and you and Dr Farrell discussing our now fascist government, I wondered if there are any countries in the world that might be better places to live than the US? I know several people who have moved to Mexico. Another friend moved to New Zealand. But since it’s a global phenomenon do you think it’s better to just stay put? Thanks very much.

    1. Diane:

      Very complicated question. There are many places that are better to live than most places in the states because they are either lower cost or safer/less mind control. However, critical that you have community and not be a stranger. If you are interested in exploring, I would recommend getting a subscription to International Living and taking everything with a grain of salt. Then if you are interested in exploring, go visit.

  3. Hi Catherine, I was listening to and reading this ‘fake legislation’ Committee #GreenNewDeal created by Rep. Cortez This is from Naomi Wolf’s site https://dailyclout.io/greennewdeal-astonishes-vast-for-vcs-new-banks-fed-reserve-natl-smart-grid-no-oversight/

    It reminded me of http://files.fasab.gov/pdffiles/handbook_sffas_56.pdf the way she is explaining this and the concern that this may cause. I’d really appreciate any thoughts abut this information. I just heard about this, and can not say that I agree w/ all of Dr. Wolf’s political views. I do think she cares about Freedom and the Constitution. Also, have you read her book about the blueprint to close down an open society? I think she was spot on with that. Thank You for any input. Colleen

  5. What to make of the $100B Russian sale of US Treasuries Greg Hunter reported? Higher interest rates? Tighter money? A smaller economy must ensue from a re-shoring of industry, but on the other hand, the smaller perimeter could mean a deeper pool domestically. This could result in desperately-needed investment in infrastructure, and an apparently good economy for the household of Joe and Mary Blow. Thoughts?

    1. The Russian’s are preparing to be as independent of US sanctions and dirty tricks as possible. In addition, the US dollar is high now. If you want to sell because you need cash or to diversify, now is a good time to do it. They have been on a long term plan to diversify their reserves and reduce dependence of the dollar for quite some time. Our abrogating missile promises and using more and more financial sanctions have pushed them in this direction. I posted a lot of links in the 2017 Annual Wrap up to describe all the institutional steps they have established, including with the Chinese, to establish relative dollar independence.

  7. We are very much looking forward to listening to Money & Markets later today!

    In the meantime, we came across an article about a Seattle TV station that did some live “Deep Fake” video editing on President Trump’s recent National Address – see the article and videos below. Solari has reported on this sort of thing in the past, however, we need to all be continually aware that this practice is potentially being done more than one would hope…

    Thank you again for all the marvelous reports you do!

    1. Yes, I posted the Last Refuge version yesterday This kind of thing is going to be happening more and more. This was not serious. But the technique is. The professionalism and covert investment in slick disinformation is rising. Time consuming. Frustrating.
