    1. Impossible to tell until we see who is eligible for a delay. My advice is to make sure to file and pay by April 15 – of if you file an extension make sure your FBAR/FACTA filing is done.

  2. Catherine, I know she’s not one of your favorites, but “Amazing Polly” has done a pretty fair job of linking what is pretty clearly a Fear Op in the form of Coronavirus to something in 2018 known as “Event 201” and its globalist-sponsored conference. Think Bill and Melinda Gates, World Bank, Center for Disease Control, World Health Organization and other high-end thought-shapers in attendance recognizing that it is high time to give “some religion” to the masses who’ve been drifting away from the clearly manufactured official reality of Fake News and literally co-opt faith-based organizations in the effort.

    1. I think it is bigger than that. Their goal is a global digital currency and the narrative they were using to get there was breaking down, not working. I will explain more in this week’s Money & Markets. The vaccines are to take the IOT the last inch. Spend some time at the website of Lieber Research – the professor from Harvard who was working with the Wuhan lab. One of the quotes from his website that I am using in State of Our Currency section called Financial Transhumanism and the IOT Last Inch:

      “We are focusing on a novel approach for integrating electronics within the brain and other areas of the nervous system, which involves non-invasive syringe delivery of neural network-like mesh electronics into targeted distinct brain regions.” ~ Lieber Research Group, run by Dr. Charles Lieber, Harvard professor and leader in brain machine interface arrested by the Department of Justice in the early weeks of the corona virus “epidemic” https://cml.harvard.edu

      Not surprising, Amazon is working on a vaccine. Why should they standby while Microsoft gets everyone linked up to the Microsoft Cloud?

    2. John,

      As Catherine always says, follow the money. Amazing Polly brought to my attention the World Bank’s $500 million pandemic bond issue to support a pandemic emergency financing facility:

      https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2017/06/28/world-bank-launches-first-ever-pandemic-bonds-to-support-500-million-pandemic-emergency-financing-facility

      I wonder if locking us all up in forced mass quarantines and thereby preventing us from normal personal interaction and right of assembly ties in with what Catherine discussed in her interview with Marie McDonnell about triggering mortgage defaults.

      Could it be that this is also all a part of the big plan to scoop up all the assets while we’re stuck immobilized at home?

      1. Andrew, it’s a good maxim. But it has limitations, as Catherine herself acknowledges. That’s why we don’t know where “The $21 Trillion” is or who has it and for what purpose it is deployed or hoarded. The trail ends without a trace. So, we try to surround as much as we can see and hope to guess at the rest.

  3. ‘LOCK STEP’- Rockafeller Foundation 2010

    Whatever has occurred inside China at this point it is almost impossible to say owing to conflicting reactions of the Beijing authorities and several changes in ways of counting COVID-19 cases. The question now is how the relevant authorities in the West will use this crisis. Here it is useful to go back to a highly relevant report published a decade ago by the Rockefeller Foundation, one of the world’s leading backers of eugenics, and creators of GMO among other things.

    The report in question has the bland title, “Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development.” It was published in May 2010 in cooperation with the Global Business Network of futurologist Peter Schwartz. The report contains various futurist scenarios developed by Schwartz and company. One scenario carries the intriguing title, “LOCK STEP: A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.” Here it gets interesting as in what some term predictive programming.

    The Schwartz scenario states, “In 2012, the pandemic that the world had been anticipating for years finally hit. Unlike 2009’s H1N1, this new influenza strain — originating from wild geese — was extremely virulent and deadly. Even the most pandemic-prepared nations were quickly overwhelmed when the virus streaked around the world, infecting nearly 20 percent of the global population and killing 8 million in just seven months…” He continues, “The pandemic also had a deadly effect on economies: international mobility of both people and goods screeched to a halt, debilitating industries like tourism and breaking global supply chains. Even locally, normally bustling shops and office buildings sat empty for months, devoid of both employees and customers.” This sounds eerily familiar.

    Then the scenario gets very interesting: “During the pandemic, national leaders around the world flexed their authority and imposed airtight rules and restrictions, from the mandatory wearing of face masks to body-temperature checks at the entries to communal spaces like train stations and supermarkets. Even after the pandemic faded, this more authoritarian control and oversight of citizens and their activities stuck and even intensified. In order to protect themselves from the spread of increasingly global problems — from pandemics and transnational terrorism to environmental crises and rising poverty — leaders around the world took a firmer grip on power.”

    A relevant question is whether certain bad actors, and there are some in this world, are opportunistically using the widespread fears around the COVID-19 to advance an agenda of “lock step” top down social control, one that would include stark limits on travel, perhaps replacing of cash by “sanitary” electronic cash, mandatory vaccination even though the long term side effects are not proven safe, unlimited surveillance and the curtailing of personal freedoms such as political protests on the excuse it will allow “identification of people who refuse to be tested or vaccinated,” and countless other restrictions. Much of the Rockefeller 2010 scenario is already evident. Fear is never a good guide to sound reason.

    2. I worked with Peter when I ran Hamilton. That is how I ended up meeting all the folks in strategic planning at the CIA and AT&T. If Rockefeller had Peter working on that and related scenarios, that is a way of getting help and input on planning out an op.

      My understanding is that the OPEC run up in prices in the 70’s was such an Op. Peter was working for a group that helped Shell prepare for the Op. The floated it as one of the scenarios. That allowed them to get all the managers to get prepared. OPEC formed and raised price. Shell skyrocketed in value thanks to a coordinated global response. Their good fortune was credited to the strategic planning groups genius.

      No mention of Western covert operations and trading on insider information.

  4. Hi Catherine,

    Can you kindly elaborate more on what specifically you mean by the following:

    “Given what is happening at the federal government, there is some chance this is final cut and run.”

    What would it look like if the federal government were to cut and run?

    Thank you for all you do!

    1. You would institute FASAB 56, so you could transfer maximum assets and money out while you kept the pension funds buying Treasuries. You may have emptied out the Social Security Trust fund but there is plenty still in the pensions. That is, you would run out the debt capacity, issue as much debt as possible to yourself so you could still control a bankruptcy kind of situation to get whatever assets can not be moved – such as national forests. More in Money & Markets.

  5. “Political destruction of the economy. Serious economic pain underway – keep preparing”

    Portions of it.

    The banks that funded all that Permanian basin fracking pretty much created a financial bazooka of debt/bonds. JP+Goldman wrapped around the permanian basin

    They’re bringing down the house, which is going to breakout an oil war between iran/russia/Saudis(who conviently rush an IPO through to investors). None of these countries want to cut production be left holding the bag as demand decline due to travel bans/cruise/planes/work from home..etc thanks to corona/goverment lockdown.

    Drastically lower oil prices+middle class tax cut+reduce demand via coronia virus=Keep inflation at bay.

    Looking at the biggest DOW losers it’s the dervative boozka wrapped around the old world “guard” or old industries.

    Now ZIRP will come in to fund unlimitd green funny money/industries.

    If people can’t fly, drive, work from home with amazon DOT next to their face. ZIRP can keep zombie corps alive indefiently. Monopoly on the money supply is the most important thing.

    I am sure buffet will come in and buy up the airlines with his warchest than spike the prices further reducing peoples expecations of traveling abroad.

    1. Always feared trump was a patsy pied piper, but its too obvioues now he took ownership of the market and Pence took ownership of the virus. Now they will be hooverized. Like herberthoover.

      He even tweeted a picture of himself playing violin last night “my next peice is called, nothing can stop whats coming” was the caption on the picture.,, in refrence to Nero burning Rome. He deleted it this morning.

      Meanwhite $2.5 TRILLION is wiped off the market from the lemmings. Sad times

      1. Trump is Herbert Hoover, it’s to obvioues now. They had to skip a generation, so no old times could see it coming.

        Protectionism/Isolationism-Killed
        Gun Rights-Killed
        Oil/Gas/Coal-Killed
        Nationalism-Killed

        From 1927 to 1929 the Fed deliberately created then burst a stock bubble using interest rates. Republican President Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff act in 1930 to defend American industry, resulting in a trade war that was blamed along with Hoover for the Great Depression that was brought on by an economy bloated with debt and easy money during the Roarin’ Twenties boom. Hoover was blamed and lost re-election to Democrat FDR with his New Deal. Behind all were the actions of the Federal Reserve, the real power. Soon it will be clear if 2020 will be a modern era repeat of the Hoover script, this time with a Democrat whose “New Deal” will likely be green.

      1. The Oil Industry is being taken under. Which is why they are restricting travel,driving,work from home, carnivals,festivals. Saudis/Russia/IRAN are going to pump the market like never seen before. I bet Oil goes below $20.

        Text from Friend “Southwest froze all hiring, AA is about to get fired, and Deloitte Dallas is on a work from for 3 weeks. Shit show in Dallas”.

        1) Either this is the Reset(IMF/UN/NWO). Scariest option as Russia/China could be mere actors under central banks the whole game is a show, we’re already in the NWO.
        2) They are counting on the $120billion extra in cash disposable income from super cheap OIL+Middle class tax cuts+ZIRP(zombie corp) to keep the game going.
        3)Trumps being hoovered? with Green New deal. Willinly? (Wilbur Ross, Neocon cabnient)
        4) Oil factions (russia/trump/Houston/Brexit) taking a massive hit from New money oligarhcs(tech/finance).

        No Idea.

        Many things, But $2.5Trillion wealth transfer and circuit breaks, draconion goverment measures means you should be on alert.

        1. Mr. Global wants the smart grid in place so they can use digital currencies + breakthrough energy + crowd/mind control. They are getting push back and factionalism from all sides. We are in the middle of a major war – more on Money & Markets. Part of this vision is injecting us full of some very strange cocktails. Very gruesome.

  6. I’m watching the action going on in futures tonight. /ZB is ripping past 185 (all time high), CL hit a low of $30, and DXY is down to 95.58. Just 2 weeks ago the dollar was near 100.
    There’s people predicting a temporary credit freeze in the near future. I just don’t see how that can happen, given the tools the fed can use.
    You have always been a voice of reason! That’s one of the reasons I subscribed to the Solari Report. What’s your take on a possible credit freeze?

    1. Unfortunately, Jonathan, anything is possible. We are in the middle of a major economic war. A group of banks are now lobbying for 0% reserve requirement. Which means they want to pull 100% of their capital out. Very bad sign. Given what is happening at the federal government, there is some chance this is final cut and run. But there is also a chance that the central banks risk losing control of inflation and they have to literally shut down the economy to prevent it. My working hypothesis right – subject to much more testing and intelligence – is Mr. Global is out of time to get the new smart grid/digital currencies in – a wide number of narratives have stalled and are not working – and this is a move to assert and maintain control in the worst case. It is what Herman Gref described in his Tass interview.
      More on M&M this week.

    2. Can anyone tell me where the “CDC November 2019 scope of work to build a quarantine grid” link is? Catherine referenced it and said she was posting the link. Thank you!

        1. Rachel:

          I have also posted in the Money & Markets commentary subscriber links. My apologies for not having them up on Friday!

          Catherine
