1. I suspect that President Trump will not cut down his daughter, Ivanka, and her husband activities until after the 2020 elections as he will need them on the 2020 campaign.

   1. Kleptocracy is thriving. FASAB 56 is the single greatest increase in swamp and deep state power since the 1947 and 1949 Act and the successful assassinations of Forrestal, McCarthy and John and Bobby Kennedy. The alien invasion is thriving. Question is what planet these folks are from – a time traveled future, Sirius, Antartica, One Google Way, 4th Reich or Trump Tower? And how many of our neighbors are going to be happy to make money helping them implement their vision – shades of the housing bubble. Opportunity Zones feels like 1998 all over again.

      I must say the entrainment technology is remarkable in terms of return on investment especially when you combine it with financial greed and political naivete.

2. WOW… what a barn burner of an M&M episode, C!

   Thanks!

   1. Hmmm..longer than I like. I felt it was very important to see the data and land rush through the noise.

3. I like your idea that the Queen Mum was making nice with Trump as a sop for the injury of the Steele Dossier. What this tells me is the Royals are conceding Trump’s ascendancy. For our beleaguered populace, that is a good thing. I don’t know how it plays out in the long (or even second) term, but we need some normalcy for awhile.

   1. Yes. Looks to me like they buried the hatchet. My concern is that now all the people who helped keep the Clinton out of the White House are going to get cleansed while the top guys now move on.

      1. Isn’t it amazing that the Dirty Deeds, Done Dirt Cheap crew never heard of Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby? How do they even recruit?

         1. 🙂

4. Here they come!

   Call me suspicious… but is it a very far leap to posit the crossover benefits of advanced drone AI, military applications and creating a “delivery network” for high end surveillance device delivery using Amazon’s delivery drones?

   The military/Intel Community would be stupid to not be collaborating with Amazon at an R&D level with this drone tech.

   Who needs to task “field agents” when you have flying robots delivering packages right to peoples homes and offices everywhere? The possibilities are limited only by the imagination.

   Perfect way to task an op, to people who won’t put an Amazon branded “Alexa” surveillance device in their home.

   1. Yes, indeed. Looks to me like Amazon has a 0% cost of capital as they are going to be used to reengineer the US government. Drones will be integrated with CIA, NSA etc and DOD clouds.

      1. My thoughts exactly.

         A little further on the speculation scale… I have wondered for the last few years, whether the ‘Deep State’ stay behinds that are largely behind the Coup to remove the President, are not already deeply involved with elements of the Chinese state, in a wholesale collaboration to bring down America.

         The Chinese were a decade or more behind the U.S. and Russia in miniaturization of nuclear warheads, targeting and MIRV… until the Clinton’s got to the White House.

         The Clinton closet server used by Hillary as SoS, was sending a Courtesy Copy of every single message crossing through it, to a Chinese/PRC company located in the D.C. area.

         Now we hear rumblings of Biden’s shenanigans with the Chinese… as well as the close work Google et al has done with the PRC with technology.

         China has perfected Down View facial recognition technology, giving them the most robust satellite/aerial human recognition capability in use on the planet, tied into their social scoring surveillance system.

         Add the chipset found hardware soldered onto server motherboards revealed last year, absurd Naval ship “collisions”… I could go on and on…

         Are the Clintons, Obama and his people, their stay behinds and their networks still inside the U.S. government actually working for the Chinese?

         Sure is a helluva lot of smoke there.

         1. Yup. I think Democrats are likely trying to cut deals with Chinese.

            1. Wow… that didn’t take long. LOL

               “The company has patented a system that it calls “surveillance as a service” which would see its network of delivery drones filming Amazon customers’ homes from the skies while on their way to delivering packages.”

               Since ALL drones return to their hub after dropping packages, there will be no way to distinguish between a snoopy amazon drone, and a NSA Contracted drone painted in the Amazon color schema.

               Under the Amazon “flag”, the American IC can run unlimited aerial surveillance operations.

5. Are you available to help craft a sound investment strategy for these troubled financial conditions?

   1. Peter:

      I offer consultations but only do if I think I can help a person. However, as an investment advisor that has stopped doing individual investment advice, I am not allowed to offer advice on investment in securities. Consequently, if the investment strategy includes securities, I can not do.

      What I can do – and often cover on the quarterly equity overviews – is the general background you need to know to integrate our intelligence into your development of a strategy or your work with others.

      If you are interested in a discussion that does not involve securities, I can have my assistant call you to describe the process so you can determine if it is of any interest. I am also happy to just answer questions through Ask Catherine (I will remove your name or particulars) or record a piece for the July Equity Overview on “How do I develop a sound investment strategy for these times.”

      If you would like me to address through Ask Catherine, send me some background to askcatherine@solari.com and I will start tomorrow night.
