  1. Hi Catherine,

    What did you John mean by mortgage payments going up and up? I thought mortgage payments were fixed.

    1. Mortgage payments are fixed, if the interest rate of the loan is a fixed rate. If a homebuyer takes out a variable rate mortgage with which to purchase their property, the interest rate (and therefore the monthly repayment) rises and falls, typically in line with the relevant central bank base rate.

    2. Thomas is correct, but I wonder if they didn’t mean mortgage rates. Fixed mortgage rates go up when the Fed increases rates, which it has done several times recently.

    1. RyAn,
      If you put an EMF reader up to a WIFI transmitter, or a modern smart phone, you will very quickly notice considerably higher readings compared to background. I think some people are more sensitive to these frequencies, particularly if they have one or multiple auto-immune conditions. Astronomical increases in technology that emits EMF and massive increases in auto-immune conditions may not be directly related however I think it’s entirely likely that these issues compound. Multiple studies have concluded that exposure to EMF can have an impact on your health.

      “It is well known that weak EMF could cause all sorts of dramatic non-thermal effects in body cells, tissues and organs”

      If you are not already, consider fortifying your immune system with healthy food, exercise, and supplements (good advice in any case). Minimize your exposure to EMF by avoiding WIFI (use ethernet whenever possible). Also consider using Bluetooth instead of holding your phone directly to your head. Obviously Bluetooth is also emitting EMF but considerably less compared to the phone. Do not carry your phone directly on your person, and consider a faraday cage for your devices when they are not in use. I am not a doctor but I do practice what I preach in this regard.

  2. I’m confused about the Nordstream 1 & 2 topic and hope someone can straighten me out on this. . . I heard news reports prior to the alleged 9/26 explosion that neither of them had been operational for some time due to disputes between Russia and the EU. And this was after Nordstream One had already been down for months for lack of a part. The gas sitting in the turned down pipelines would have been all that could have been lost in the explosion. It would have been a short term event that might not have been noticed by locals before it ceased when the pipelines became empty with gas and filled up with water. So that’s my understanding, and it leads me to believe that this wouldn’t register as a sudden drop in availability and thus higher prices, like the Texan folks expected. And what about that 2.9 earthquake reported to have occurred simultaneously with the explosion? Lastly, as the widow of a retired AF MSgt working in Spec Ops, I feel the intel analysis from MonkeyWerks gives great insights. “Monkey” has tracked the US military movements that culminate in that explosion and posted same as a video on YouTube.

  3. Hi Catherine, could you recommend a good read on understanding how a non-debt based monetary system would work, and maybe how we got into the debt-based mess we’re in today? I’m a bit of a novice when it comes to understanding finance and economics, but I trust your recommendations more than any other. Thanks.

    1. Have a stack of books in the Netherlands to see if I can find one good primer. Will ask around and see what I find until I go through them.

    2. Hi Chris,
      I would highly recommend “The Creature From Jekyll Island…” by G. Edward Griffin. Incredibly documented and well written explanation of the debt based system, fiat currency and how it came to be.
      Buckle up.
      Patrick
