“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.

  5. There is good news and bad news and this annual report for me. They’re both contained in the following statement: I have been pretty right with my periodic comments. It’s also gratifying to see that we are finally getting around to confirming the performance of the Biden/Obama administration. We have been very tough on the performance of Donald Trump, whereas the classroom dunce has been Joe Biden, even if, as is likely, it is the overrated Barack Obama in the background whispering into his ear. Obama was always credited with superhuman intelligence, but the reality is he’s probably in the 75th percentile or so. Just another puppet.

    I’m glad to see we are openly recognizing the nexus between Zionism and the Ukraine matter. It has been obvious to me for the duration of the recent conflict. Also obvious is that the permission for Russia to invade and annex the Crimea during the Obama administration makes very clear what the settlement of the conflict will be. Why are we there wasting time, money and lives on this useless fighting? I suppose you are correct that it is to create new infrastructure on top of demolishing the outdated existing conditions. We might further speculate that Israel, per se, is now less critical as a war zone, if its base of operations is moved to Ukraine.

    With regard to reserve currency, I will reiterate that the physical expansion of circulating dollars around the world has done a great deal to mitigate what would otherwise be overwhelming inflation, because in places where there is no sovereign currency, it is a ready exchange medium, and will remain so for the foreseeable future. I believe it will be very difficult to replace this with any other physical currency. Thus, fears of petrodollars versus petroyuan are largely overrated. There is a disruption in the world exchange of energy these days, but unlike the inflation that Biden said would be temporary, but isn’t, the fungibility of oil will overtake its political difficulties that currently abide.

    I was gratified to hear you and Joseph reflect that China is not historically a military aggressor, but I do think that the US may rattle the saber over Taiwan a bit more as Ukraine winds down. It’s very clear to me that the WEF and its captured governments around the world would like to fight everybody that stands in the way of their fantasy of world domination. Unfortunately for their plans, highly populous worlds in the eastern hemisphere won’t go for it. I think the US population, as you have said, is ready to stand up against the tyranny.

    I contend that the usefulness of Trump is not in the wonderfulness of his character (or in him having passed some purity test about the vax), but in his ability to swing the votes of the proletariat to the eventual candidate. It could certainly come with the potential for a family member of his being on the ticket. I do think that DeSantis is a good character presently, but he has not withstood the wrath of the mass media so far. In fact, they seem to have enjoyed his rise in popularity, perhaps as a counter to Trump. I think Trump would have to throw his support towards DeSantis when the convention in 2024 comes around. It’s best to keep DeSantis clean in the meantime. Trump can continue to be a lightning rod for abuse by the media.

    Last, and you have not come to it yet in the first half of the year in review, but Hero of the Year for me is Whitney Webb, a late entrant whose books, One Nation Under Blackmail, Volumes One and Two plainly indicate a very clear trend as to who, after all benefits as a group from all the organized crime we have seen in the past 100 years. Hint: it’s not the Italians, whose ethnicity has popularly been made synonymous with organized crime by the media…

  6. The info provided in this conversations with Joseph is far too important for people to hear, and they won’t unless you make it available free. I’m able to afford membership, but the others i know, hard-working, caring, thinking activist oriented are not able to afford membership. Please, please make it possible for us (members) to share or make it available free in your coming soon free subscribed. PLEASE! thank you, jan in eugene oregon.

    1. Janice:

      If I make the content free, how would I pay our team and fund the infrastructure? Then I would have to shut Solari down.

      Please feel free to have a Solari meeting and play Part I for activists who can benefit. I have used this material to brief the CHD and D4CE town halls.

      Hope that helps,

      Catherine

  7. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was the Lutheran Pastor in Germany to whom the quote (“First they came for…”) was attributed, Reinhold Niebuhr was a Congregational Pastor in the US. Pastor Niebuhr’s (arguably) most famously quoted work is known as “the serenity prayer”. Eric Metaxas wrote a worthwhile biopic about Bonhoeffer. I’m glad that this community does not serenely accept that which they can change!
