      Dear Catherine,

      Dementia affects more than 55 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This number is expected to rise to 78 million by 2030 and 139 million by 2050. Find out more about which countries are facing the greatest increases in our first feature, before checking out our latest moving infographic, this time visualizing how different countries have gone neck and neck over the past 70 years to become the world’s premier merchandise exporter.

      1. My parents are 94 & 92. they are old school Italian immigrant hard working and were always healthy. The past year has seen such a decline in their physical and mental state, significantly so since their 2nd booster last October, which i could not prevent. My siblings will hear nothing of suggestions as to an alternative, or at the very least medically cumulative explanation.

          1. Yes, thank you for that reminder Catherine. Hard to stay in compassion sometimes. Especially when informed views are not given much credence when it seemingly counts. You’ve led by example for so long now, we must all similarly turtle forth

  2. Hi Catherine,
    I farm 15,000 acres (6,000 hectares). Monoculture by Financial reasoning, not ethical reasoning.
    Our Profitability has been very well for us (with many thanks to you guys) but with zero resiliency as we are completely reliant on the current system working perfectly. This way of farming is a trap, our land is like a heroin addict l, if you try and take away any synthetics, it’s a train wreck. Realizing this about 5 years ago we tried weaning the land off of its addiction, it was very daunting. So we focused on 500 acres of regenerative ag. It’s now resilient, labour intensive, healthy and unprofitable. This way of farming is only for self-sufficiency and health; and will continue to be unprofitable as long as the consumer continues to choose the latest smart phone over real food.

    So with the trapped situation I’m in, what’s the best hedge to protect future profits, in the globalized corporate farming world? And with it looking like a black swan needs to be implemented. Would you sell grains to capitalize on lower inputs costs?

    If we are moving to a more decentralized phased. Would you sell land to derisk and focus smaller and more sustainable?
    I’m really sorry for the novel, but my employees are like family and I’m struggling in this stagflation environment and a possible transition in our livelihood.

    Thank you

    1. Family/community-based ag is certainly under attack (as it has been since well before the 1980s, when we were booted off the family farm). Dr. Zach Bush has partnered with Farmers Footprint (https://farmersfootprint.us/) with some remarkable results.

    2. You may be interested in Dirt to Soil by Gabe Brown. I do not farm anything like as much as you, (I just piddle at it with a few animals and have a job off farm) but I read his book and think you would get a lot out of it. He has a large operation in North Dakota and made the switch like you are describing.

  4. Catherine, the power grid is much more vulnerable than most people are aware. See https://griddownpowerup.com/ It is fixable but requires the public and big buyers of energy to put pressure on the utilities and politicians. Wall Street’s financial analysts ought to be factoring this risk into a corporations ratings. Corporations that lower “grid down” risk should be rewarded in the market.

    2. The Problem of the Utility Grid is Not merely Cyber:
      By: Dr. Michael Crabtree

      The issue of the Israeli domination of critical infrastructure is worse than one imagines simply by assessing the technological interface of Israeli cyber-crime with the electrical grid, or public utilities. A deleterious series of mandates by the R.E.A (Rural Electrification Administration), throughout the last 3 decades has destroyed the integrity of the electrical grid itself, in particular the portion serving agrarian communities. The integrity of any system is proportional to the degree to which that system is closed which assures that entry and exit of extraneous electrical forces is minimized, for example EMP weapons, or CME ejections.
      The electrical grid in the US is and has been transitioned from an electrical configuration to an electronic (digital) configuration. This largely for two reasons:

      1) Adoption and employment of a Wye-Wye connected distribution and transformer load configuration (in short, the use of four wires as opposed to three to connect chunks of the grid to transformer stations).
      2) The extension of a common neutral ground throughout the entire electrical grid (at minimum the West coast, Arizona, and Texas). Indicating the potential for false flag attacks and psychological operations on the entire country.

      In the digital age engineers have been replaced by software technicians and accordingly the grid is being weighed down with very clear deliberation using legislation preceding the mechanical changes to the grid, as opposed to legislation having been reactionary or antecedent of some need or impetus for changes – degradation, etc. There is also the clear strategy to change the primary form of consumer and commercial lighting from incandescent to fluorescent over the same time, which amounts to the irradiation of all life with harmful ranges of UV radiation, generally inimical to living processes. The harmful effect of fluorescent lighting is well established.
      The conversion between A.C. and D.C., rectifiers, and inverters, is a condition of forcing something somewhere it does not belong, alternating current being primarily used for lighting and direct current primarily to power electronic devices.
      The Wye-Wye connection (#1) grew out of the need for lighting needs in urban centers requiring intense electrical loads for large buildings, totally out of balance with the intention of the early 20th century creators of the grid itself. Additionally, the old delta (3-wire and safe) configuration of the grid, which preceded the Wye-Wye configuration, makes transmitting large quantities of energy from remote wind farms and solar farms, like those littering the midwestern US, to feed the disease of urban centers, totally impossible. This presents a problem for foreign investors who intend the wind and solar collected in rural areas, to be transmitted to large cities for-profit. The Wye-Wye configuration can transmit substantially greater quantities of power but is penalized by its production of transient oscillations and dirty electricity, it is also very unstable be design.
      The transient wave form excitation being induced by the material configuration of the grid itself presents another issue: the distribution of dirty electricity goes from previously bad to the degree of severe increases of incidence of cancer, to substantially worse. That means every powerline is now a supercharged health degradation device. These changes in-turn intensify the already harmful oscillation by-products of non-native life-degrading frequencies to a barrage of chaotic frequencies, which, theoretically, considering the heavy metal content of the average person, will cause immediate discomfort, anxiety, and eventual array of metabolic syndromes. This is an Israeli-Chinese “Trojan Horse” of electronic warfare, that will have total plausible deniability considering the ongoing conflicts in the middle-east and on the Steppes of Ukraine, and of course the ever useful sloganeering around climate change.
      The common neutral ground (#2) connecting substations to consumers is akin to having the entire load of a substation jurisdiction, connected to any one electrical transformer at the utility pole outside the main feed into the home, and therefore, may also cause surges in the homes of consumers, which is a massive safety issue – and a weapon – all by design. A stray impulse may produce a surge large enough to easily kill a human being connected to conductive metal within a household or start structural fires. Considering the propensity of the Regime to utilize drones and DEW (direct energy weapon) to set nature ablaze in order to force migration and disaster capitalism, nothing claimed is even terribly hard to imagine.
      Let’s take an example of the use of a nuclear induced EMP (hint: do we know of any rogue nations nuclear weapons – and what do you know about the Sampson Option?). An EMP, irrespective of the origin, would turn anything resembling an electromagnetic boundary condition into an antenna – large systems of powerlines in this case, causing a massive back-surge of energy both in the direction of the nearest substation and the nearest human dwelling. Considering the entire grid is being connected with a common neutral ground, that energy will NOT merely stop at the transformer windings in a substation but will continue via the common ground and Wye-Wye connected windings, and on to the homes of consumers. This makes an electrical surge a weapon of genocidal proportion – whether the impulse is delivered by the sun or a non-state actor. Imagine a surge of millions of volts charging every single piece of metal in a consumer home and imagine an arc from such a surge leaping from a microwave to a human. In short, every single home in the path of these grid reconfigurations has been rendered a lightning rod in the event of an EMP, or even lighting strike.
      This configuration has been arranged deliberately using the law. In other words, among the attempts to kill Americans will be and EMP blamed upon Russia, China, or CME (coronal mass ejection) which will decimate rural homes, farms, and lives – adding to the total chaos that has been engineered at present. Leaving the Regime’s patented disaster capitalism methodology, to pick up the pieces, which equates to acquisition of hard assets for pennies on the dollar. You thought vaccines were bad? Ha!
      In the electronic age an ever-increasing requirement of energy via urban areas necessitates the Regime moving energy utilization out of rural areas and into cities whereupon it can be tightly managed and rationed. The major push to get the goyim off the land by destroying the livelihoods of farmers, ranchers, and small business is clear (inflation, sanctions, false flag pandemics et al., petroleum, and fertilizer shortages, etc.). This is totally in line with the transition to UN smart cities and the total usurpation of food production, which according the Henry Kissinger equates to total control.
      The entire electrical utility system is undergoing a retrograde conversion, from what was an interlocked and contiguous tri-phase system into a continuous trio of single-phase systems. Moreover, the transformer windings are being physically manufactured (in China) to be bonded at neutral points. To reiterate, this bypasses the safety features of the transformer station, and allows for the ceaseless propagation of harmonics, parasitic oscillations, and transients. I’m willing to wager the construction contracts and the go-between for this entire process is being managed by Israeli firms on US gov. contracts, while the material is manufactured in China – all with complicity across multiple presidential cabinets.
      The digitized technocratic scheme of net-neutral carbon by the total removal of fossil fuels cannot be realized if both massive urban centers and rural agrarian areas continue to draw ever-increasing quantities of energy. The fantasy of the electrical car and green economy can only be realized by depopulating the agrarian communities, either by force, or by an induced catastrophic and irreversible damage to the life-supporting systems of electrical power.

      2. Catherine – Curious about your thoughts on the “Goldbacks”.
        The Wyoming Issue debuted today 9/19. Apparently South Dakota is next. :).. I have bought a couple, just to see, and they are cool & aesthetically very nice, also durable. But will they catch on? Legal issues? Four states so far; Nevada, New Hampshire, Utah, and Wyoming. (A for example, short video 3.5 mins.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6c9yvjR8PA
        Also see http://www.goldback.com

        1. Have not looked closely. Not a fan yet – the approach seems too problematic on first survey.

          1. Nicole – Here and there with Catherine, over time, “alternative” currencies, have been mentioned and discussed. I think primarily community oriented, so that if the dollar crashes or goes away, people have a way to conduct local business and make trade and financial transactions. That purpose or function, could also be provided by or trading in 90% silver coins, silver bullion or gold coins for larger transactions. (Thus the Gold / Silver calculator on the Solari site.) The “Goldbacks” are a concept and product, along the lines of providing an alternative currency which is supposedly “gold backed”, as was the U.S. dollar at one time, before Pres. Nixon eliminated gold backing for the dollar (circa 1971). For more info, David Morgan, is a well respected “silver” professional of many years. In the link below, he talks to Jeremy, who conceptualized and produced the idea of the Goldbacks. Advantages are discussed in the interview.
            Hopefully we’ll hear more from Catherine on this topic, as she always adds great food for thought. But it does take some time to really think and evaluate, the big picture as well as the details on the ground, so to speak. https://www.themorganreport.com/blog/the-goldback-solves-a-2600-year-old-problem/

          2. The Goldback contains actual .9999 fine gold in its composition (thus it has no need to be “backed” in gold). The 1 Goldback contains 1/1000 troy oz of physical gold. The others contain gold in proportional amounts to the face values. They look great.

  6. The following video seems to have gone viral – a speech to the German Bundestag in which Friedrich Merz (CDU and BlackRock) said, “September 24th 2022 will be a day we will all remember”.

    https://www.bitchute.com/video/iGe2jfFOcuU0/

    Has anybody heard about this? The date is quite specific.

    Could he be talking about a ‘natural’ catastrophe or disaster, a stock market or currency collapse, a global bank holiday, an alien invasion…?

    I am trying to find out in what context Merz made that statement but so far all I have been able to find is this clip from his speech. Apparently he gave this speech back in February.

    If Merz knew in advance that something horrific we was going to happen and he did not do anything to stop or prevent it then wouldn’t he be an accessory?

    I have also heard some stuff about this date (the 24th September) being in line with the ancient Hebrew Shemitah, the Shemitah being related to debt cancellation and several recent crashes have occurred during the Shemitah.

    Or could this just be another diversionary tactic or exercise in fear porn?

    2. Putin announced Partial mobilization of the Russian army. Maybe it has something to do with that?

    3. Someone posted a similar question on last week’s money and markets’ comments, I will repeat my answer I already posted there:

      nothing odd. this was a so-called “general debate” in the German Bundestag which took place on Feb 27th, right after Feb 24th (start of the Russian SMO/war in Ukraine). Merz is the leader of the opposition party (CDU). to me, it sounded like a Freudian slip of the tongue (as he was referring to the day of which we all remember where we were when we heard the news – Sep 11th, 2001), he was about to say that everybody will remember where they were on this 24th of February 2022 when they first heard about the war in Ukraine – there he used the word “september” instead of “february”. He sounded more agitated in that speech than usual, because of that it sounded to me really just like a mistake (and yes, he had worked for BlackRock for several years after leaving German politics for some while before coming back when the “succession” question for Angela Merkel was getting under way).

      original link to parliament speech by Merz: https://www.bundestag.de/mediathek?videoid=7534035#url=L21lZGlhdGhla292ZXJsYXk/dmlkZW9pZD03NTM0MDM1&mod=mediathek

      and the “military patrolling in the streets from Oct 1st”, not so sure about that one either, it may have something to do with a new “department” of the German army that will be established as of Oct 1st, but they do not seem to have the kind of staff resources that would be required to literally patrol streets, I think the abbreviation for that department goes something like “TerrFükdBW” – Territoriales Führungskommando der Bundeswehr. But it is a paradigm shift in Germany, as after WW II any “use” of the army in the interior of Germany was not to be allowed for obvious historical reasons. That has been being mellowed over the last years as in “but we should be able to employ the army in case of emergencies, crises etc”, as in natural disasters (floodings), health (as in helping the understaffed public health offices in contact tracing from 2020 onwards and some part of coordinating of the Covid-19 response by a general located at the Bundeskanzleramt from 2021 (not sure how much coordination there actually was, but structures are being set up)…There are effective civilian structures for disaster management and “catastrophe preparedness” in the so-called THW (Technisches Hilfswerk) based on voluntary work, but that entity has just now had their federal budget (Interior Ministry) cut by two-thirds for the coming fiscal year (if I recall correctly)…

      1. Thanks for the follow-up question.

        As far as I know nothing has happened, but just because I haven’t heard about it doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened.

        I often think about mice. They think they are well hidden but the birds have ultraviolet vision and therefore they can see things that neither we nor the mice can see. This means the birds can easily see the ultraviolet tracks of the mice urine and and can thus effortlessly spot where the mice are.

        What about from your end?

        1. I guess those rumors of Xi, Monkey Werx’ pattern of sea ships not exactly in war positions. There was something else but I can’t recall. Maybe I’ll do a reply update in the forum.

  7. https://www.businessinsider.com/brain-control-weapon-warnings-show-concern-for-china-military-research-2022-2

    At the heart of the sanctions is the Chinese Communist Party’s ongoing attempt to create weapons that would facilitate “cognitive control operations.”

    According to the Pentagon’s most recent report on the Chinese military, Beijing has been exploring “next-generation operational concepts for intelligentized warfare, such as attrition warfare by intelligent swarms, cross-domain mobile warfare, AI-based space confrontation, and cognitive control operations.”

    Cognitive control operations, using so-called brain-control weapons, would suit an autocratic regime that seeks physical and digital oversight of populations under its control, and they would have domestic and foreign applications.
