  1. Catherine,

    New Solari subscriber and I’m dumbfounded that I did not pony up sooner. Your Trends link aggregation service is worth the price of entry on its own.

    You changed my life forever when I was a young student at a “prestigious” University. I was campaigning for Ron Paul at the time and a friend showed me the late Mike Ruppert’s “Truth and Lies of 9/11” presentation in which you present the Red Button Scenario for the first time.

    That was nearly 10 years ago and now I’m a simple country homesteader who works from a laptop – no debt and no degree!

    It’s been difficult watching my friends suffer in the current predatory student loan regime, and now the few that thought they escaped by taking high-paying coastal tech jobs are stuck in a tenuous urban environment, to say the least.

    Becoming a “Jeffersonian Yeoman” was a lifestyle and health choice but in our current geopolitical and macroeconomic climate it’s shaping up to be a viable business model as well.

    Looking forward to the next report!

      Welcome! I am VERY happy you are not stuck in a tech environment with an overinflated balance sheet! The ground is such a fine place to be right now. 🙂

      1. “The ground is such a fine place to be right now.”

        What a beautiful way to put it, hope you don’t mind if I borrow that one 🙂

        I initially signed up for a 30 day membership and could not in good conscience refuse the 1 year upgrade. Happy to support Solari for the long haul – your work is tremendously important. I couldn’t afford to support as a 19 year old all those years ago, but at 28 I’m glad to be able to invest in your continued success.

        When I used to be more active in alternative media, perhaps the greatest honor I received was when your friend and colleague Dr. Joseph P. Farrell saw fit to respond to one of my articles on Giza Death Star:
        https://gizadeathstar.com/2016/07/yet-another-perspective-coup-turkey-drugs-connection/

        The second greatest honor was Patrick Wood reblogging some of my writing on technocracy – were he still alive, Antony Sutton is the foremost historian I’d seek kudos from, so to have Mr. Wood’s acknowledgement is about as close as I can get! 😀

        In a somewhat bizarre twist of fate, I ended up running the exchange desk of a mid-size cryptocurrency company for a few years after retiring my blog – part quant, part project lead, part software developer. The industry is still very small and it’s strange to think that little ‘ol me is only one or two degrees of separation at this point from Larry Summers or Bill Gates – strange and unwanted bedfellows, to say the least.

        If I wanted to pass along some information to you on how the proverbial “blockchain sausage” gets made for your consideration, what’s a good email address to do so? I think the core of your thesis about Mr. Global and digital Wampum beads is as hilarious as it is prescient and I’m thrilled to hear you connecting more and more dots about Ripple, but in the spirit of candor, Ripple’s interbank lending standard is actually “old news” by crypto standards, having been started in 2014 or so.

        Things have accelerated greatly since then and are largely coalescing around BTC, and more importantly, the company that now controls the BTC repository called Blockstream. They got their seed capital from none other than Henri de Castries’ AXA Ventures, former chair of the Bilderberg steering committee, and have since been back-door financed via MIT Media Labs, the Gates Foundation, and even Epstein as Joi Itoi’s VC fund Digital Garage was also a Series A financier.

        “Make sure to log these donations under $100,000, it’s from Bill’s friend,” Itoi mused in the leaks while funneling black money to further research on the ill-fated Lightning Network.

        The MIT email leaks were ASTRONOMICALLY important for the entire cryptocurrency industry but everyone’s lips are still sealed tight, save for a few projects making noise about its ramifications. Many took the ticket and will never talk about it publicly, but most of the developers are just naiive idealists who don’t understand geopolitics. Working in the industry I came to learn that well as you did while attending crypto conferences.

        Mr. Global doubtlessly fired a “co-option shotgun” at the entire industry a few years back and now has enough festering wounds to offer pre-established treatment to those compromised firms.

        Any time you hear the term “sidechain” or “layer 2 scaling solution”, put on your They Live glasses!!!

        Wishing you the best,
        -Joshua

  2. Catherine,

    You’re not getting my emails. I already called James.

  3. Dear Catherine

    Spiro Skouras has an excellent interview with Dr. Tenpenny – “This is The Biggest Scam Ever Perpetrated on The Human Race” which I learned about from your Twitter posting on the 4th May:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_9bQ_Ri9p0

    One important quote of Dr Tenpenny’s from the interview I’d like to share is,” When we say safe and effective, the general population of people who hear the word ‘effective’ equates that to mean it keeps you from getting sick but I can tell you that being effective just means you get an antibody, a marker of contamination, and you can have very high antibody levels and still get sick. So I want people to know that effective is not a synonym for protection; it’s just not.”

  4. https://harvardmagazine.com/2020/05/right-now-risks-homeschooling

    this was interesting on a few levels. it was a very sloppy and poorly reasoned attack on homeschooling. basically argued “homeschoolers are abused by their uneducated fundamentalist parents” while in a public school you have a whole “village” to look after a child’s welfare. implicit is also the homeschool vaccine exemptions, which was not mentioned. the comments are great, much more cogent than the main article.

    terrible article but it got me thinking, is this what is called a trial balloon? write the draft pro argument, and let the public feed back the arguments against. a kind of crowd sourced peer review of opposing views to the author’s main thesis. the author then has a better idea of what angle to take in their next attack. I am assuming this lady is working on something related to attacking homeschooling that is deeper in scope.

    if this is indeed the strategy now, interested people should NOT put forward the effort to honestly and cogently reply to these kinds of things. why give someone a knife with which they can attack you?

    on a deeper level this relates to the many surveillance capitalism / data monster encounters we have on a daily basis, and a way to approach them. the AI algorithms, and digital censorship in general, have one serious flaw which make them far less effective than we imagine them to be. that is, computers can only read things literally, without the human prism of sarcasm, or allegory, or analogy, or humor.

    if you ever research the state of literature and press in Poland during the Soviet days, you will find a lot of examples where things got past the censors due to double meaning or humor or the like. the effect was normal people got a good laugh and a reminder that the emperor had no clothes.

    for example, in the 80s the govt showed a documentary about NYC and how homeless people were sleeping on the street while everyone under socialism had a home. a few days later an ad appeared in the classified section of the main paper, “WILL TRADE DOWNTOWN APARTMENT IN WARSAW FOR A CARDBOARD BOX UNDER A BRIDGE IN NYC.”

    you mentioned before that kids should learn about encryption which is definitely true, but there are also much more human and fun ways to enjoy a good laugh while foiling the data beast. the beast has no sense of humor!

  5. International planes are flying. I just booked one to Spain but is it safe in the madness? And what are the risks from authorities? Any thoughts?

  6. Dear Catherine

    You and Dr Farrell were talking about culture. Since you are a Bach lover, in case you are not familiar with it already I thought you might enjoy listening to his Cantata BWV 208, in particular the 9th aria, not only for the beauty of the music but for the profundity and relevance of the text:

    Schafe können sicher weiden,
    Sheep can safely graze

    Wo ein guter Hirte wacht.
    where a good shepherd watches over them.

    Wo Regenten wohl regieren,
    Where rulers are ruling well,

    Kann man Ruh und Friede spüren
    we may feel peace and rest

    Und was Länder glücklich macht.
    and what makes countries happy.

    1. Beautiful!
      I have the complete Cantatas….a great gift that was.

  7. Catherine,

    I don’t you saw my email but I would like to nominate Vanda Shiva for the hero of the week. Her fight against the Gates Foundation and the rights of the poor is amazing. I just pray she doesn’t disappoint like Dr. Shiva in MA. That was sad.

    The one light about Vanda is she accuses the chemical plants producing fertilizers and vaccines have roots in Hitler’s Nazi Germany. For her to say that on France 24 is impressive.

    2. I love Dr. Vandana Shiva and have followed her and her wonderful powerful work for many, many years. She’s good as gold! (no worries, she’s proved it consistently for decades)

      Her organization Navdanya http://www.navdanya.org/site/

      Recommend her many great books

      1. After watching Dr. Shiva via Solari, its true her books are really hard to find. I am asking my friends in India if they can find. any ideas?

          2. Hello Ira.

            I was able to find on AMAZON.INDIA (imagine that!) the book “One Earth, One Humanity vs. The 1%” however FISHPOND is favorable overall.

            ***Thank you***

            SLY
