    Many thanks. In having been your client for a very long time, I easily integrate your most recent weekly news commentary with great ease! I encourage your Solari Report subscribers to invest the time to study your past Annual-Wrap-Ups. Those provide the foundational knowledge to easily understand your weekly observations and insights.

    This week I please request your ideas on a past subject. During the first half of 2018 Mr. Tillerson was abruptly removed from his Sec. of State position. A few months later he delivered an inspiring commencement speech at VMI. Therein he appealed to the graduates to build their lives and careers upon integrity and honest assessment of facts and diagnosis of challenges/problems at hand.

    I ask you to speculate what he observed and experienced in his role as Secretary that demonstrated to him a crucial and threatening lack of honest assessment. I have done that thought exercise myself and would like to compare with your ideas. Regards, J

      I think you mean subscriber rather than client.

      Impossible to tell everything that went on. Here are some of the variables that made it difficult if not impossible:

      – Neither position should be entry level positions. Both Trump and Tillerson had no experience in government. Would have significantly increased misfires and mistakes.
      – Clinton and her folks were working the State department big time; that combined with White House cuts of the State Department meant a lot of people where gunning for Tillerson
      – They were having to manage the fake Russia canard together without having offices in proximity
      – Tillerson is experienced at running a large global bureaucracy – and is good at ignoring the media. He is used to being his own man.
      – Trump is experienced at running a small family business – and is brand/media driven.
      – Trump had much closer ties with Israel – especially through Kushner. The Israelis were pushing Trump hard – would not surprise me if Tillerson was less sympathetic
      – Lots of people looking to divide and conquer them — and messing in Tillerson’s portfolio
      -Was extremely difficult at the time to get new hires vetted and approved. Without government experience – that would have been very frustrating.
      – very different styles – one is quiet and keeps his word. One is extremely “out there” and is subject to improv and change.
      -If I had to bet, my guess is that if Tillerson had succeeded as Secretary of State, our relationship Russia would have been much stronger. Neocons unhappy.

  3. Catherine –

    Is there a book that you’d recommend regarding the financial reset? Something that takes into account the overall picture and not some watered-down main line view ….

    Maybe asking for something that’s not been written yet but I definitely want your best insights ….

    Thank you …

    Rebel Commander 🙂
