  2. Catherine –

    FYI the quarterly hard copy reports just arrived here in New Zealand today – mail must be working again – looks wonderful.

    1. The big irony of that is, the West is paying in dollars for Russian oil as an input of manufactured goods bought from China. And the trade deficit continues to grow, despite the shriekometer. It probably helps Chinese profit margins also as they are getting cheap energy. Really hard to understand what the US is trying to accomplish here.

    2. I think the better question is will the US leadership destroy the US dollar & its world reserve currency standing…?

  4. Catherine,

    I am currently reading a fictional book called “One Second Later”, which is the first book of a trilogy. It is based on research taken from military interviews and information on the likely series of events that would occur if an EMP or cyber attack took place. Who would likely die, who would survive, what becomes valuable to trade, etc. It has a forward written by Newt Gingrich who repeatedly says that although this story is fictional, the possibility of this happening is very real and as a society we are very ill informed of how to prepare. He states the US is generally unaware of the very real possibility of an EMP attack that would catapult us back to medieval times. I have to admit, before a few months ago, I had never heard of an EMP. Having worked in Washington, how likely do you think this is of occurring? Was this discussed very often as a real threat? What are the best ways to protect yourself beyond general food and water prepping? I’m particularly interested if there is a sound way to protect your home and cars? I have seen car devices on the faraday website you have linked on this site, and another website called EMP shield that sells devices that protect your cars, generators, and home electrical boxes. Would these actually work or do you think it’s a gimmick? I am wondering if anyone has knowledge that the devices on a site are trusted and work. Thanks!

    1. The book is called “One Second After”. It’s a real page-turner, and one learns a tremendous amount about what to prepare for from a number of perspectives. We also highly recommend it!

    2. EMPs are the electronic equivalents of nukes with comparable M.A.D.. You may be able to isolate/protect selected devices, but if all surrounding infrastructure (e.g. comm networks) are not equally protected, the surviving devices would have little utility. It’s still a useful exercise in some contexts, e.g. to protect digital data and a device to access the data. If any hostile entity used EMPs, they would likely suffer the same or worse in retaliation, since certain critical systems are likely hardened against EMP threats.

      Having said all that, defense in depth is always good, so fictional elaborations of EMP threats can motivate funding to expand the percentage of critical infrastructure that is hardened against EMP attack and accident, and to remove plausible deniability from some insider threats. But there are many other forms of attack currently receiving near-zero public awareness or public defense, starting with targeted individuals and mind-directed invisible threats, including wireless, air, water, biochemical and recursive psyops.

      1. As a start
        a) get a digital test meter, and keep it wrapped in foil when not in use.
        b) design and build a ferroresonant inverter suitable for your needs, maybe 3KW or so, depending on availability of solar panels.
        If you can’t do that, anything else will not be of much use.

      3. In some ways there’s not much to tell, the bigger the hole the more emp gets in. Some other data regarding design countermeasures is usually classified.

  5. John Titus,

    I watched your excellent podcast on the Federal Reserve Cancer RX. Thank you for that!

    It made me think Dmitry Orlove may be correct. In Jerm’s interview of Dmitry Orlov, Orlov surmised that the US was confiscating gold in all these countries they have invaded(including in Ukraine) in order to pay the interest on bonds owed to China. What do you think? Here is the link for the interview:

  6. Just talked with a representative of Occidental Publishing in the Netherlands. I’ve been appreciating their author, the philosopher Mieke Mosmuller. She has a video blog, last two discussing the Ukraine. I learned that the Netherlanders are to welcome Ukrainian refugees more generously, into better housing, than previous waves of people displaced by war. Do you hear that too? Occidental’s new book on control of thinking has become a bestseller.

      1. Re: California’s “homeless industrial complex.”

        That’s for sure. It’s very profitable for NGO’s.

        1. I saw this in Washington. I once made a presentation to 30 foundations on how we could end poverty. The head of the Fannie Mae foundation told me it was the most depressing presentation he had ever seen. It meant his life work had no meaning. That is when I realize their business was growing and managing poverty.

          1. Yes, there’s money to be made to keep populations dependent. Catherine, It would be interesting to see what that above-referenced presentation you made to the foundations looked like. Wondering if some elements of it can be implemented at the local level. Can you post the notes of that presentation…if the action points are still relevant and doable these days.

          2. The presentation was a video and panel presentation in 1995. My powerpoint went down the DOJ seizure hole and never came back. I will see if I can find the video.

      2. A cousin advised me that Sixth St in Berkeley is so overrun with Tenters that pretty soon you won’t be able to drive down the street. That’s a LOT of people who aren’t going away.

    2. I have not see the numbers on what the Netherlands have agreed too. One town over is filling up a hotel bankrupted by Covid.

  7. I just heard FinancialRebellion_Episode14 and went to the Faraday Defense company web site. They seem to make (or supply) a very good Faraday Shield bag for my cell phone. But I could not see any way to order one without supplying a credit card number. I do have three credit cards, but one I leave at home all the time and seldom use it. And I wish to use the other two as little is possible.
    Do you know any way I could send a check drawn on my credit union account?

    1. I would call and check to see if they have those options. Don’t know.
