1. Here’s an interesting one for Ask Catherine. This community bank in Northeast Ohio is being attacked by a hostile shareholder and if I am reading the tea leaves correctly, it’s to take the “community” right out of it. https://www.crainscleveland.com/finance/ancora-pressures-middlefield-banking-co-pursue-sale-or-revamp-its-board

   You have long advocated for relationships with banks of this sort and perhaps the wrong ears are taking notice. The bank seems to have a solid operating history and decent financials. It doesn’t seem like Mr. DeSanto is an activist as much as a raider and might he be an agent for outside interests? It would seem if JP Morgan and General Bullmoose know what’s best for the USA, they will want to make sure depositors don’t actually have any alternatives. What say you?

   1. Fred sold one of his last companies to Fifth Third. https://ancora.net/people/fred-disanto/ Looks like his goal is to get them on the chopping block and make a nice gain for a relative short turn around.

2. Hi Catherine,

   A comment to an Ask Catherine comment a couple weeks ago from a subscriber in the Mid-West. Just want to mention that in Northern California (uphill from Sacramento), there have been almost no chemtrails for the past three to four weeks, with a few days as exceptions. For the past few years, this area has had almost daily spraying, often heavy. However, recently the skies have been amazingly clear and beautiful. This seems to have changed again, with the last couple days having lots of spraying. Today was especially intense.

   It makes one wonder, why the incredible reprieve, and was it nation-wide? Also, why so heavy the past two days? And what are they spraying? Yesterday the trails were heavy with lots of drift. Today, they were the classic checkerboard pattern. We’re not sure how much longer we want to live underneath all the spray. Not sure where to go to avoid it all.

   Thank you for your amazing work, wisdom and continual alignment to the higher purpose!

   1. I have been in Wyoming and Utah and there have been no chemical trails. Its amazing the sky and I thought the same.

      1. This has been one of the great blessings of this summer. Many reports of blue skies.

         1. Today we have total white-out. I started watching the jets this morning around 6AM. Must have renewed the contract big time.

   2. I am wondering if the funding got held up until the debt ceiling got sorted out.

      1. I’ve seen no let up here in the Rockies.

4. Please correct/reinterpret my interpretations of your very important quotes.

   “Get your kids not to build their careers in the official reality, get them to built their careers in the intersection”.

   Is this have to do with not trusting in 401ks, job security, renting, corporations. But lean more towards entrepreneurship, self-reliance?

   “Otherwise you wake up and discover your the patsey”

   Patsey: A powerless serf

   As for getting along with the herd…It has become extremely difficult. The Millennial generation, my peers/friends is frighteningly involved with the official reality.

   1. I have been asking young people about how much time they spend playing video games. I’m just very curious. I have found that young people are spending hours playing video games and staying up all night. Is this a common practice do you think?

      Catherine’s quote from MA is useful here. I think. No matter what your age.

      “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” ~ Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

      1. I think it is common, but have no stats – just anecdotal reports. The patterns of serious addiction are very real.

         1. I think so too. A friend who is a violinist has begun playing for a Baptist mega-church in the south. She has been told by others in the church that the number 1 cause of divorce in the church is video game addiction. So sad. All we can do is to urge people to avoid all addictions. They are the road to slavery… but oh, so seductive. imho
            It’s very insidious. People never think of the addictive quality of gaming. Sneaky!

            1. Entrainment based addictions are a serious challenge -video games, gambling, porn, on line shopping. In one sense it is one addiction epidemic.
