  1. Hello Catherine, about where do arms from or for Ukraine go, talked to my friend from DR Congo and this year the rebel attacks in the Kivu regions have intensified. Currently they are very bad. I asked could the arms be from Ukraine and he confirmed that it was openly said that rebels have the arms even UNHCR there does not have, so they even left some bases. Also, that many arms found had NATO insignia. So this is 1 location that confirms this theory.
    Since approx 70% of coltan and 80% of cobalt is in DRC, together with lithium, gold, dimonds etc, the green agenda has no chance without DRC. As usual, mines are owned by foreigners, the biggest one for decades being Glencore and now also many chinese owned mines too.
    There is significant child labor in the mines, especialy in informal mines. It all got much whorse when to the phones and computers all these hybrid and electric cars were added in last few years. And now it is escalating. So, Catherine, to help your push the red button story: for all of you driving hybrid or electric cars, next time you are in your car remember that there is a high possibility that minerals for your car batery were mined by a child in DRC.
    Push back is not only about thinking where do you put your money and where you invest… it is much broader and it includes the whole world.. even though some of the parts of the world seem unimportant to the people in the west.
    All te best!

  2. 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.

  3. 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. 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.

    2. 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.

  4. 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. 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.

  7. 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”!
