  2. Time 24.45: Is there a link to the presentation by Larry Lindsay? I tried typing his name in the Solari search box but it didn’t turn up anything. Perhaps I spelt his name wrong.

    Time 1.11.30: Why is BlackRock the only one of the 4 custodians which is ‘expendable’?

    Time 1.23.15: Sugar is up 13% and soybean oil and canola are both up 41%. I wonder if as a result of these price increases the food processing companies will think about dropping these ingredients and replace them with healthier alternatives in their recipes.

  3. Hello Catherine
    It’s always great to hear what you think about CBDCs and crypto. The crypto community is by and large an echo chamber, and contrarian voices are rare. A couple of quick comments:
    1) roll-out of CBDCs. China has been trying to roll out their CBDC since at least late 2019-early 2020. Now again they are planning to roll it out for Winter Olympics. It’s hard to understand what’s going on in China, but for whatever reason, they do not seem to be succeeding. Allegedly, CBDCs on blockchain, even centralised ones, are too slow for the modern financial system.
    2) whether the crypto and tech community are “naive”. Most of the tech ppl in the crypto community are young people and lack moral judgement. And many are just out of touch with reality.

    1. Interesting take on the CBDC timeline, Tatiana! There’s a lot of buzz around the Winter Olympics being used as cover for a Ukraine/Taiwan invasion as well.

      Though I would submit that most Proof of Work and modern Delegated Proof of Stake “private” blockchains are deliberately hamstrung by bought and paid for developers – see Jeff Epstein and Bill Gates’ financing of Blockstream via the MIT Media Lab laundering scandal.

      Blockchains are just append-only databases and the core technology of databases hasn’t changed much since the 70s. There’s nothing stopping developers from a technical standpoint from eliminating artificial constraints on transaction processing throughput in BTC by simply raising the 1MB blocksize as the original protocol called for.

      Instead, we have unsavory actors deliberately ensuring that current blockchains can be used as speculative tokens but not as scaleable money. The book “The Blocksize War” does an admirable job of outlining how this went down from 2015-2017, though it’s lacking in Deep Political nuance.

      Your second point about amorality and lack of grounding in the cryptosphere is spot-on. Even the most well-meaning idealists refuse to consider that they’re building their own prison.

      2. Thank you, Joshua, for your comments. Will check out on the Blockstream scandal, I wasn’t following it.

  4. Recently rejected from entering a restaurant in Los Angeles because I didn’t have a vaccine passport. This week I was not allowed to attend my company’s annual sales meeting in Texas because I’m unvaccinated – the only person in the company. It’s very empowering standing in my integrity.

    2. I too am experiencing similar exclusions. Though not officially stated I think it has much to do with being unvaxxed here in Germany.

      1. Hi Christian. Where are you in Germany? I’m living just outside Speyer … Very high percentage of jabbed here, and I can’t walk 100m without seeing a “test station”, but it seems like soon, everybody will know lots of people who are jabbed, but just “got it”. Greetings

        1. Hi Nicholas, I live close to Augsburg. Just a 3 hour car ride from Speyer. Been there before. Speyer has got a nice cathedral. Looking forward to meeting some time, if possible.

          1. Would be good to meet up. We’re always open for visitors here! Probably, I’ll be visiting friends in Munich in the next couple of months ….

    4. Welcome to the Yellow-Star cafe: Seems like I was a regular in the right cafe (here in Germany). The most interesting folks now all congregate on the pavement outside, and the nice chap running the place knows it because he’s stuck inside with the sleepers. I worry that standing in the cold might be improving our immune system. 😉 Hope you can connect with some other like-minded people. Stay strong.

  5. The Canadian Government did say that they were not going to force Cross-Border Truckers to take the jab. The next day the Canadian Government flip flopped and enforced the Vaxx Status for Truckers as of Jan 15th, 2022. The Canadian Truckers are now an estimated 34,000 strong and are heading for the Nations Capitol in Ottawa for a traffic jam on the 29th. They have also raised, as of the 22nd, almost 2 million dollars to fund this movement. God bless these brave souls.

      1. hi..We are in Canada and following the truckers for freedom initiative with great pride. The response has been overwhelming with over $5 million raised. The funds are not blocked as reported, in fact, there are lawyers and an accountant overseeing the distribution of the funds and all drivers in the convoy must be registered etc. The local people along the convoy routes in all provinces are very supportive and in fact we will be on an overpass tomorrow to watch the convoy and wave flags. The purpose of the convoy is to lift all of the mandates in Canada and get rid of the vaccine passports. We are very proud of the truckers and we have lots of flags to wave. People along the routes have been out in very cold weather with hot fresh food and fireworks..and iit is snowing and cold tonight so supporters tomorrow will be hardy ..WIm Hoff.. would be proud! Will keep you posted. The convoy organizers are concerned about false flag events and biased main stream news. Canada, a bear has awakened.

        1. Very good news. IMO, no finer group of professionals than the truckers in North America.Just love ’em. They made traveling the highways and byways a real pleasure.

    Just sharing

    The Return of Pluto return on 2/22/2022. Yup, little Pluto will return to the exact degree (27) in the house of Capricorn as it was on July 4, 1776.

    Besides being on 2/22/22 and 11 days after the 93rd anniversary of the signing of the Latern Treaty it beats me what this all means. But those who study Astrology claim it is about changes in authority, money, power structures and systems.

    Well, we are overdue to replace the fiat dollar but what about the other categories like authority & power system? Will the Act of 1871 come to light that will result in greater States power? Will government departments move out of Wash DC? Will the White House be walled off? Wait, didn’t they just build a blast proof fence around it?

    Pluto or no Pluto return it seems to me we are about to see many changes in the coming next couple of years and I have to wonder how many years the “Washington Generals” have been off the Globetrotter Bus working behind the scenes.I think it has been awhile.

    By the way when is Trump activating his social platform?

    1. Makes one realize that despite the apparent relaxing of mandates, the agenda appears to be going full steam ahead. While the world breathes a sign of seeming relief, the passport enforcement rolls on.

      1. The control grid is our greatest risk – whether passports, digital IDs, CBDC and biometric system, including those hooked up to blockchain. Once it locks into place the mandates into slavery will be endless.

      1. Hi Catherine,
        The more I see illegal aliens flooding over the border and being flown to places all over the country in the dark of night, I am wondering, where are they going. What do you think about this? The corporate controlled food industry would house and hire these people to be slaves in their food processing plants located in the middle of nowhere. How they treat animals is incredibly inhumane and they want to keep it hidden. They cannot or do not want Americans to work at these places and we would be shocked and disgusted by this inhumanity. Who better to hire than illegal aliens flooding over the border. Maybe this is far fetched, but seriously, where are these people going?
