1. It has been about 15 years since I went from being suspicious of them to opting out of stock markets as direct investments altogether. This was after about 30 years of avid and advanced placement investing. The more I studied the charts, the more it was clear they were being manipulated. Since 2009, the DJIA has been dosing some sort of share-price Viagra. It’s like with chemtrails, those committed to the non-existence of the manipulation are voluntarily blind to what is specifically illustrated daily, right in front of their eyes. Yet the public consents to unlimited upside and basically no downside, and it’s built into the stock market explicitly with the circuit breaker rules for drops, while none exist for rises.

   I think a case can be made that a one-way stock market is itself a paperless inflationary system. Karl Marx has been much, and in many ways, rightly maligned. But one of the true things he said in Capital is that there is ultimately only value added by work. So if you can just take the money you earned as a surplus and put it into something that grows essentially without additional effort or risk, the value of your work is being inflated. Then each exchange of currency-based value in succession is worth a little less. Of course, the government gets a great deal of the money first, doling it out as it does to Most Favored Corporations and MFN’s. To use a term you employed, money is a sewer now. It’s headed to a septic end in a downward-flowing stream. The head end is in the hands of the banks. In a real market, labor boosts a pressurized system similar to a pump in a water supply, which brings benefits to everyone. The sewer benefits its upper reaches and is a mess (or at least a lowly chore) for its terminus.

   Having said all of this, I would say that at least some of investor money has to have stock market exposure through institutions well-situated on the inside, in order to balance risks in other, also manipulated markets such as real estate, gold, cash, etc. Short of existing in an autarkic barter society with divine integrity, it’s about all we can do. Sadly, much as carrying a CITI card, we are all complicit in the game as long as we are investors. For this reason, spurious currencies and even cryptos must be suppressed. We must have compromised currency without integrity or the whole shebang collapses. Some early crypto holders will be enriched as those in power make deals to remove those devices from circulation and the outsiders will gladly take the money and run. Smaller cryptos will have zero value. Once the powers have crypto control, there won’t be any more need for constantly inflating the stock markets—then look out below. As has been said, an ultimate objective of our financial system is the enslavement of the populace. It’s exactly the inverse of capitalism. Rendering each individual abjectly impoverished reduces his ability to resist immensely. That’s the game.

   1. Unfortunately, John, everything is managed, manipulated, controlled. Will talk about this more on Money & Markets this week and in Equity Overview.

   As 2019 comes to and end and 2020 lies before us I would like to share some thoughts and questions with you that I have left over from the past year.

   Right after the Notre Dame fire it was quickly declared to have been an accident, and as far as I know that official accident story has been accepted and put to rest. I haven’t heard anything more about it since. Has this story simply died or are questions still being asked and investigations being done by the alternative media?

   Although it was not an event of worldwide magnitude, a few months ago you mentioned some damage that had been done to your property by gangs. I was particularly struck by that story because you followed it up by writing that there have been gangs in the Hickory Valley since you had arrived there in 1999, saying that it is same as in essentially every rural county and most lower middle class and lower class neighborhoods. I had heard about the gangs in the big cities, such as Los Angeles, but it took me quite by surprise to hear about the pervasiveness of gangs in rural America, even more so because of the almost matter-of-fact way you mentioned it. I had not heard about this problem before. Do you know where this is covered in more detail?

   In her Christmas Broadcast The Queen focused on the theme reconciliation. President Trump, on the other hand, devoted almost the entirety of his Christmas message to praising the military. He also urged support for the security and law enforcement forces but not the securing or enforcing the rule of law. This clearly shows where his priorities are and what we can expect the focus in the new year to be.

   I am looking forward to your guidance and inspiration over the coming year and to reading the insightful and at times funny comments of the Solari members.

   Wishing you and your team wonderful year ahead!

   1. Thank you, Andrew – I have add to my list for discussion in M&M this week.

4. A quick note about local food sources. Check out localharvest.org for local food sources, markets, farm stands and more.

   1. Good one. Have posted before. Will post again.

   I love you having given the name of “time inflation” to us all being robbed of our time. The difference being is that with price inflation I can try to avoid or find substitutes for certain products, but with time inflation I am forced to waste more of my time on an ever expanding gamut of unproductive activities. Just as an example, I am trying to get my birth certificate. It has been going back and forth now for 3 years with absolutely no progress having been made. Once I finally do get the certificate I’ll then have to get it notarized and then authenticated and apostilled, all in the name of costing me time and money to prove the patently obvious fact that I was born. It reminds me of your oldie but goodie on “Shadow Work”.

   Shocking story about the “plant” burgers. Oestrogen is not just about gender bending little boys, it’s a known cancer causing agent for everyone. There is a high correlation between women who take the pill (which is basically oestrogen) and breast cancer.

   I’d love a Solari Report on Grow Rooms.

   1. Andrew:

      Given the pile on, hard to come up with a theory of what is happening other than depopulation. The slow burn is steadily converting to a slow kill. Or maybe it was a slow kill all along.
