  1. Hi Catherine,

    I would also be interested in how your neighbors were able to be bank free. Thanks!

    1. Check cashing businesses, Cash, local utility payment window, grocery store acceptance of cash for phone company, money orders, barter.

  2. HI Catherine and John and the Solari family,
    I like to think we are a 1000 mosquitos. 1 means nothing, 10 annoyance, 1000 and they leave.
    I convinced one friend to stop banking with the big banks. That’s a win for me!
    My daughter stopped playing video games and is now coloring instead. Another win!
    I stop my life and make sure I take my Mom (Roberta) to her favorite winery while I still can.
    🙂

  3. Hello,
    Is there anyone with experience using OfficeLibre that would be willing to answer questions over the phone/Zoom/Teams/Skype?
    Also, any recommendations on where I can find a service that removes all of the 3rd party/Microsoft programs once I buy a new computer?

  4. Dear Catherine,
    at about 36mins, you are mentioning a book in relation to the interest rate increase from Volcker – would you mind sharing the title again, please?
    Thank you from Lux

  5. The Year the Earth Stood Still

    First, the virus. Then the governmental overreaction, complete with lockdowns, ghoulish media terrorism, the defenestration of acknowledged science, mass psychosis, brutally directed administrative fear ‘nudging’, and universal social and economic dysfunction. Now the backlash. It is not as if the fundamental underlying problems hadn’t been identified over a year ago in this global freak show.

    Hedge fund view of the scamdemic – btw the linked interview with Prof. Russell Napier is a must listen IMHO to understand financial dimensions of this episode

  6. At the 19 minute mark John speaks of people unable to see the link between illness and the vax. It is as if the vax is ‘angelic’. Sadly he is correct.

    I came across this paragraph when reading Carl Jung’s ‘The Undiscovered Self’ page 258/259 paragraph 511 in the collected works…

    “The State takes the place of God; that is why, seen from this angle, the socialist dictatorships are religions and State slavery is a form of worship. But the religious function cannot be dislocated and falsified in this way with out giving rise to secret doubts, which are immediately repressed so as to avoid conflict with the prevailing trend towards mass mindedness. The result, as always in such cases is an overcompensation in the form of fanaticism, which in turn is is used as a weapon for stamping out the least flicker of opposition. Free opinion is stifled and moral decision is ruthlessly suppressed, on the plea that the end justifies the means, even the vilest. The policy of State is exalted to a creed, the leader or party boss becomes a demigod beyond good and evil, and his votaries are honoured as heroes,martyrs, apostles, missionaries. There is only one truth and beside it no other. It is sacrosanct and above criticism. Anyone who thinks differently is a heretic, who , as we know from history, is threatened with all manner of unpleasant things. Only the party boss, who holds the political power in his hands, can interpret the State doctrine authentically, and he does so just as suits him.”

    I swear Mr. Global has studied Jung!

    Thanks for the great work

    2. My uber driver in Boston is this person. Got 1st shot, then, COINCIDENTALLY “got convid” just a few days later (despite driving Uber for 13 months of the pandemic and not getting sick….)

      But “THANK GOD” she had the first shot, otherwise it could have been SO MUCH WORSE…according to her and her physicians.

      5 months later she still hasn’t recovered full taste and smell. The cognitive dissonance is OFF the CHARTS.

      And per John’s point–she was surely counted as an “unvaccinated Covid case” by Massachusetts instead of a VAERS reaction.

  7. China protecting children again.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/if-millions-hollywood-celebs-suddenly-cried-out-terror-china-bans-girlie-men-tv

    As part of Beijing’s sudden “neo-cultural revolution”, the Chinese government has issued new orders to its broadcasters in its continuing crackdown on culture, business and social mores. This time, it called for a ban on what it termed “effeminate men,” asking instead that “revolutionary culture” be touted. This, needless to say, is terrible news for an entire generation of woke, Hollywood snowflakes who know everything about virtue signaling – especially if it gets them lucrative Chinese production contracts – and who are absolutely clueless about anything within ten miles of a real of metaphorical revolution.
