  1. Saw your interview on Zerohedge today. Great job! I told my wife just as great as the first time we saw you talking about Covid. Thank you!

  2. What I am loving about this conversation about switching from a simplistic view of the world to a more complex one, is how I have seen it play out culturally in my own life.

    I believe in New York City, as someone who grew up there, people understood, or most did anyway, what an Afro-Latino was. It was a person of Latin American descent whose ancestors were brought to the Americas as slaves and it frustrated the hell out of me, when we moved to the Philadelphia area as a kid how Black and White Philadelphians did not get this, and sometimes even many Latinos themselves.

    They would comment, Philadelphian: “oh she speaks Spanish?! But she looks Black”. Daniel: Yes sir thats because she is Black. Philadelphian: Oh but you said she was Spanish! Daniel: No, I said she was Honduran, she is a Garifuna, that is a maroon tribe of the Honduras, the slaves who escaped the Spanish in Central America. Philadelphian: They had slaves in Mexico?! Daniel: Er, the Spanish and Portuguese originated the idea of slavery, so yes there were Black people in Central and South America over a hundred years before they arrived on slave ships in Jamestown, Virginia.

    And even after careful explanation, they just couldn’t wrap their minds around the fact that people of Latin-America are not a race, Latino is not a race, its culture, Latinos can be Black, White, Asian just like US citizens can be Black, White, Asian, etcetera.

    And it just never got through. So it seems you guys are saying Americans are now going to have to have no choice but deal with the complexity or reality or what I call life on planet Earth or as my favorite attorney, Saul Goodman once said speaking to a couple of New Mexico detectives, “the world is a rich tapestry my friends”.

    1. The nominally independent nation-states of Latin America are the product of decades of revolution/social-engineering interventions by UK and American interests, following on the heels of centuries of European interventions. Depending on who you believe, possibly preceded by millennia of Atlantean-era spinoff civilizations. An expensive, multi-generational series of lessons that lasted for centuries. A lot to cram into an American crash course..

      1. Let’s not forget those in the vicinity of Antartica which also received post-WW2 Germans.

  3. I just wanna say thank you to Catherine, & the whole team she’s assembled.
    I can’t express how much confirmation & reassurance I receive from so much of the
    content on Solari. I saw Catherine speak about community finance to a permaculture group in Tennessee, golly,
    can’t remember, maybe 2004/2005 ? I’m so glad I did, it confirmed my belief in the power of local sovereignty & decentralization & I’ve followed her work ever since.
    That’s all, jus thank you, stay well & free.

    1. That was such a fun conference. Remember it like it was yesterday. Thanks, Michael.

  4. I couldn’t agree with you more regarding your comments on China’s approach to Taiwan Catherine. China’s slow spin of the financial web with which it will tether Taiwan to itself reminds me of one of the great lines from one of the characters in “God Father III” when it was said that, “finance is the gun, politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.”

  5. I signed up for a Square account for business because I’m severely limiting PayPal transactions.

    I signed up. I send an invoice. No red flags.

    Square then sent me an e-mail and informed me that I had a few details to complete before they would transfer the money to my account. This information included providing 3 months of bank statements, MY PASSPORT or Driver’s License, the personal information about the people who paid me (adresses, e-mail, birthdates), etc….

    Needless to say, I deactivated the account and told my patient to call Mastercard and delete the transaction immediately.

    Any recommendations for an company that isn’t completely insane? I’m in Canada.

    1. Remember that Square changed their name to “Block” (as in chain).

      Jack Dorsey (Twitter founder) is still the CEO.

  6. Dear Catherine: I work in the EMF exposure field and I have a 29 year old transgendered son who transitioned at 26 to a daughter after 6 years on and off estrogen. I have received confidential testimony from a scientist who will not publish his research that the cause of these transgendered people has it’s origins in chemical exposures in the womb and then exposure to microwave radiation during puberty. He has reversed this in some subjects with photon light therapy. Nevertheless, many transgenders are so committed to the change by then that they are reticent to lose face by trying any therapy. The unethical mental health professionals and media continue to illogically promote transgenderism as a naturally occurring phenomenon. The smart phone is a trojan horse destroying much of our youth. More scientific reports can be found regarding the hazards of microwave radiation exposures on my website: http://www.GoGreenSolutions.com

    1. > chemical exposures in the womb and then exposure to microwave radiation during puberty.

      Thanks for the pointer. Would be helpful to know:

      – list of candidate chemicals which traverse the umbilical barrier, e.g. diet, industry or geo-specific
      – which frequencies are more likely to interact with those chemicals
      – can post-birth chemical (environment, diet, injection) exposure mitigate or worsen the risk
      – can pre-puberty detox mitigate the risk of EMF radiation

  7. The reports get better and better!

    I would like to offer another scenario…why would anyone WANT inflation? Perhaps we should look at it this way. Inflation comes down to supply and demand. Most people think of it as printing too much money. However, the other side to this is reducing the supply! What has been happening over the last 3-6 months? shortages! Biden shut down fuel supplies! Food processors manufacturing places are being burned to the ground. Chickens being killed. Baby formulas not there. Grocery shortages. I think Catherine and john have commented enumerable times about the various shortages.

    It’s not the increase in money supply that is creating the inflation but the lack of supply of goods. Who is do this? It seems planned. And what if any would someone have to gain by increasing or causing inflation?

    1. I agree with you that it is primarily shortages causing inflation. Hyperinflation occurs when there is a critical mass of people who lose confidence in government and it’s money that they go all out purchasing hard assets. The loss of confidence is rapidly increasing.
