“Life, it turns out, is infinitely more clever and adaptable than anyone had ever supposed.”
~ Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

By Catherine Austin Fitts

This week, we begin the publication of our 2022 Annual Wrap Up. Dr. Joseph P. Farrell joins me for Part I of News Trends & Stories; we will continue with Part II the following week.

In Part I, Dr. Farrell and I focus on the top 20 stories as well as what we have come to call “Bizarro World” headlines (particularly creepy stories, often designed to distract you and waste your time). Follow along on the web presentation; the link will be in your subscriber links when Part I publishes.

Here are our picks for the top 20 stories:

  1. The financial coup and the Going Direct Reset
  2. The Great Poisoning accelerates: “We are staring down the barrel of a mass atrocity”
  3. Department of Defense and their contractors: the war on us
  4. The proposed WHO coup
  5. More push for total control
  6. The petrodollar loses its “petro”
  7. War in Ukraine and the expansion of NATO
  8. The end of cheap money: a farewell to bubbles
  9. Whither the Anglo-American alliance: the reign of Queen Elizabeth II ends
  10. The productivity rebellion
  11. Jan. 6 Committee: the domestic terrorist trick bombs again
  12. Growth of the space-based economy
  13. BRICS continue to move toward currency alternatives
  14. China: Xi Jinping consolidates power
  15. Digital TV and smartphones are the most successful weapons of our day
  16. Democrats hold U.S. Senate in defiance of all exit polls
  17. Weird weather: droughts, floods, earthquakes, tornadoes
  18. FBI pays rich social media companies to censor taxpayers—using taxpayers’ money
  19. IRS proposes to hire more IRS agents than all U.S. tax preparers
  20. Glorious pushback all year long—and rising

In Part II, Dr. Farrell and I will review what these stories and trends mean to you in the context of your daily lives and work during 2023 using our Building Wealth framework.

The theme for the 2022 Annual Wrap Up is “Pharma Food,” a trend that includes lab-grown meat and synthetic food. This will require all of the pushback each of us can muster—starting with ongoing, committed support for our local farmers and fishermen—if we wish to retain access to food that is healthy, fresh, and real.

After publishing the two parts of News Trends & Stories, we will continue with my final Equity Overview for 2022. The following week, I will talk with Dutch new media journalist Elze van Hamelen. I asked Elze to investigate and write Pharma Food; the final Wrap Up will feature her elegant and comprehensive write-up of her unsettling findings.

Recognizing that each person’s circumstances are unique, we hope, as always, that our discussion will guide you toward solutions, helping you determine actions you can take and tactics that are right for you.

Money & Markets

In Money & Markets this week, John Titus and I will cover the latest events and continue to discuss the financial and geopolitical trends we are tracking in 2023—and the growing pushback against corruption. Post questions at the Money & Markets commentary here.

  1. Hey, Joseph…Cunard will let you cross the Atlantic with Shiloh. You both deserve the luxury of a crossing.

  2. You and I and many people have wondered how it was possible to execute such a drastic lockdown of Australia during the Covid plandemic. My 22-year-old grandson just returned from a visit to Melbourne and Brisbane, and among my first questions to him was about the entire country’s recent lockdown. He said there are only six states and two territories in all of Australia, making the logistics of civilian control relatively easy. The population of the entire country is upwards of 26 million people, just four million or so more than the state of Florida. That’s not many people spread across that vast subcontinent. Also, his libertarian opinion is that Australians are culturally submissive, certainly more so than Americans.

    1. As an Australian I’m embarrassed to agree with the sentiment that Australians are culturally submissive. We’ve had it easy for a long time and sadly most people credit the government for that. I’m thankful I wasn’t in Victoria and also not in a major city.

      1. Wow. That surprises me given Australia’s history. I guess every country gets squishy soft like spoiled brats eventually. Makes the quote by Michael Hopf “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times” spot on.

  3. I’m a real estate developer in Los Angeles CA, – most of the increase in lumber prices was not caused by an increase in the money supply but supply chain issues from the covid lock downs. Suppliers couldn’t get lumber so the prices of everything they had on hand was bid up. The decrease in lumber prices was not from the increase in rates, but an opening of the supply chain once the lock downs ended. That is why lumber came down so much in price. It seems the lock downs, war in Ukraine and destruction of food processing plants has caused the massive increase in prices, and the cover story is increase in money supply, while it is actually “supply destruction”. If Mr Global is destroying supply to create inflation so he can have cover to increase interest rates and blame it on money supply, shortly after disaster loans went out to every business at 3.75% for 30 years unsecured, It seems they are trying to create an economic cataclysm and loan borrowers are earning a premium on their borrowed money while they wait for the collapse so they can buy everything up for pennies.

    1. Conor, off-topic but greetings from Fullerton, a short drive to the south from LA. I subscribed only recently, looking to link up with other subscribers in the area. Are you a member of any of the CA Solari Circles?

  4. Story 9:

    Story 10:
    Speaking of Disney, I understand that for almost a decade Disney has been bribing Congress to keep extending their copyright on Mickey Mouse.

    https://www.wionews.com/opinions-blogs/how-disney-routinely-exerted-influence-on-the-us-copyright-law-to-keep-its-greatest-asset-mickey-mouse-549141

    https://artrepreneur.com/journal/mickey-mouse-keeps-changing-copyright-law/

    Disney’s copyright on Mickey Mouse is expiring this year. I have not heard if Disney has already been able to the the copyright extend yet again or if they are not even bothering, being more concerned with LGBT issues.

    “There us no energy market; there’s just energy politics.”
    Speaking of energy, there is an interesting story concerning an American inventor, Stanley Meyer, who back in the 1970s developed a car motor which would take you from California to New York on 20 gallons of water. He was offered a huge sum of money for his patent but he refused. He met with some investors, they offered him a drink of cranberry juice, he collapsed, claiming he was poisoned and he died. His workshop was later robbed and his car stolen, never to be found again.

    1. Thanks for the comment about royalty. Keep an eye on the color purple appearing in various places, including resistance people with 95% helpful content that are incentivized or forced to carry dual-message content that is signaled with purple, https://thenewamerican.com/revelation-of-the-method/

      “Buried deep within their rule of law is a hidden constitution that holds that nothing happens without your consent. In this version of contract law, once the truth is hidden in plain sight, you have agreed to it. There exists someplace an unsigned contract with your unsworn oath on it.”

      If Rip van Winkle awoke in 2022 and skimmed the last few years of newspaper headlines, he would observe a tsunami of public-trust-destroying headlines about public and private institutions. If this is intended to lay the groundwork for replacement institutions, whether state, national, regional or global, are our choices limited to WEF or centuries-old “aristocracy” oligarch bloodlines?

      “On February 28, 1297, the Doge Pietro Gradenigo suggested that from that date onwards only the members of the families who had been present in the assemblies of the four previous years should be admitted to the council. The proposal, opposed by many at first, was approved, and had a gradual application, by virtue of which the Greater Council increased the raw statistical number of its members, but at the same time blocked the number of families that could be represented.

      … In order to qualify for the highest positions of the state it was required a genealogical and blood purity of origin, kinships of importance in the Government of the Republic and also the highest levels of rent indexed in the census of Venice. In order to maintain this situation of privilege, the main noble families of Venice, except in a few cases, did not contract unions between them.”

      Gigi Young has some videos on the historical, occult importance of bloodline purity and how this was changed by the arrival of Christ. In summary, “We don’t need no stinkin’ bloodlines”. Culture? Yes. Bloodlines? No. https://www.invidious.baczek.me/watch?v=u8WbLU958Lg

  5. Catherine, thank-you for walking us through navigating the “PHARMA FOOD” online publication;(it’s really nice when it works). HIGHLY–recommend accessing the “PHARMA FOOD” online-interfaced publication–(when it works). I successfully accessed it–earlier in the day by clicking its illustration by happenchance -(but! couldn’t access it afterward); recommend placing a 3-parallel-lines–proverbial hamburger-icon on the “PHARMA FOOD” illustrated cover-page [in the upper-right corner -when- a cover-page’s link is activated].

  6. As a new subscriber, but a long time listener of your interviews with Greg Hunter, I enjoyed your tete-a-tete with Dr. Farrell. Thank you for bringing his insights and historical depth of field into the conversation of current events.

    One of the discussion topics at the end mentioned “Strong Towns”.. one of my go to thinkers on that subject is Jim Kunstler. I would love to hear a good interview with him on this site. His perspectives on the bigger cities is very similar to yours on the fate of smaller towns—infrastructure woes. I think he holds out hope for smaller towns.

    My family grew up in Jackson, MS and if you keep up with the news, that municipality just received a 700+ million dollar federal grant to ‘begin’ to deal with their water system’s decrepitness. The federal appointee overseeing the project commented in an interview that one of the issues facing the city is getting citizens to pay their utility bills. On the water front, they are considering basing the water bills on the real estate tax bill rather than the amount of water used. At this point the infrastructure cost so overshadows the actual water usage cost it ‘makes sense’ to try that approach. Socialize the losses is the go to solution these days.

    Anyway, I hope you can bring James Kunstler on for a good head to head on the subject.

  7. Great show as always by Catherine and Joseph. The intake I learn from it is priceless.
