1. The RSV that is spreading seems different. This RSV does not seem to be the same as RSV that was spreading 5 years ago. And, RSV does not change every year, like influenza does. I wonder if a new aggressive strain of RSV has been released.

2. Truly agree Catherine that Singapore will be the “parking lot” for commerce and cash escaping mainland China and possibly other parts of Asia, as turmoil rolls through particularly the Chinese government-power brokers. Interestingly enough, on BBC America I’ve seen an advert two or three times in the last 30 days advertising Singapore as amenable for locating a business or simply advantageous for investment. I’ve never been to the airport there but it seems magnificent and built on a scale to anticipate much more in travel there. I think there is a pretty robust banking system there right? Wonder who is sponsoring these advertisements???? My guess..”city of London”!

3. I always look forward to hearing what you report. I’ve been in the financial services industry for a long time. You reinforce what I know and see and more . I, however, am not seeing a reduction in inflation no matter the government figures. I also listen to several preppers in Tennessee, Alaska, Australia and South Carolina. What they are seeing I believe is a truer picture. Southern prepper1 with Boots on The Ground is a very reliable source in SC. He hears from all over the country and other countries as well. I suggest you listen to his report which you can get on YouTube every afternoon. There are shortages everywhere and people hurting. Some places seem to be better than others. He’s a farmer and small businesses owner awa former military. Their experiences are extremely helpful. Appalachia Homesteader is in Tennessee and delightful awa informative. Some have over 400,000 viewers and responders. So many good people trying to help others. Thank you for yours.

   1. Will check out for sure. Remember they can inflate some parts while they deflate others. Many scenarios are possible.

4. New Zealand Intelligence Service asking people to report suspicious behaviour in those around them, newsclip:

5. I’m speculating but China’s chip production is probably not as intimidating as the chart suggests because the manufacturing quality is low and the manufacturers have little emphasis on reducing pollution. Those chips will be very expensive at that scale if you count pollution and the fact that they break down far more often (thus requiring consistently high production).

   Throwing out moderates in favor of hardcore ideologues will likely make that worse because moderates are more likely to have the knowledge and connections to address quality whereas military-types will care more about having 2000 more tanks. If the tanks require more maintenance or only work for 2 weeks, oh well, it’s more important to have them in front of the cameras.

   That said, China’s control of rare-earth minerals means they can produce a massive amount of chips despite the fact that they’re low quality counterfeits. If China’s chips only work half the time and/or break down twice as fast, they’ll make up for it by producing 4x as many chips.

   IMHO, control over 95% of rare-earth minerals is more concerning. On a related note: Brazil is #3 in rare earth reserves and we know the lengths Mr. Global just went through to usurp Brazils legitimate government.

6. Can someone direct me to alternative to paypal, and I don’t mean other spook companies like google, apple and amazon. Or are there no alternative.

   Last year I stopped using paypal in prep to dump them. I was paying with a credit card directly to webpages. The number of times i had to get a new credit card due to fraud was no just appalling, but was extremely inconvenient. *sigh*

   thanks in advance

   1. Privacy.com offers virtual credit cards to minimize fraud and unexpected charges, with a browser extension for desktop computers. They are moving to a B2B API business model to operate cards for other companies, based on their success in working directly with customers. AFAIK, they don’t overtly sell/monetize transaction data.

   2. Cathy – I’ve been using Vanilla Visa Gift Cards when I must (necessity), buy something online. There is an upfront purchase fee of 4.95 (up to $500.) and I don’t like supporting Visa, however it’s the best work around for me. Does not require any online registration, so you can purchase whatever anonymously. Of course, name and mailing address from the vendor to you, is up to your disclosure and preference(s). I like having a PO Box address, as opposed to physical and that works 99% of the time, depending on delivery provider. You can be sure “they” are collecting all data, from everyone everywhere. Someone on Solari has mentioned the gift cards don’t work for Patreon, but I have used them for various online contributions and subscriptions. Thanks for mentioning your experience with fraud using a bank card, that was my suspicion, and you confirmed. I use cash for all other purchases.

7. Hi Catherine,
   Was listening to Financial Rebellion. I need help / advice and, of course, timing is crucial. How does one get in contact with you directly for guidance?
   Thanks in advance. Grateful either way.
