1. Dear Solari,

   Here is an idea that I have been presenting
   to academics and the media for some thirty years.

   I think it is important since no one of the
   “yellow journals” has taken it up as a ‘cute’
   article. Not one. No response from any one,
   and it has gone out, via emails like this, to
   literally thousands of the media and professionals
   like yourself.

   What I’m beginning to appreciate is that this
   idea is so powerful that people just don’t want
   to accept it until someone they trust will validate
   it.

   I think it deserves a hearing.

   Thank you.

   The GULLIVER Hypothesis

   They tell us to think out-of-the-
   box. Here’s a new idea about the human condition that fits
   the bill.

   CULTURE CHAKRA
   We posit that each cultural group is patterned on an actual
   physical part of the human body. Admittedly it’s farfetched,
   but if you give it a chance, you might find that there is some
   logic to it.

   We specify twelve body parts – they go from the head
   down to the feet and we’ve borrowed a catchy name for
   them … chakras. There are societies that are associated
   with the head, the jaw, arms & shoulders, bosom, heart,
   tummy, tush, sex, thigh, knee, shin and feet. Naturally all
   of the body is needed to run a society, but usually one
   part provides the national character, and it’s this public
   quality that we want to target.

   For example the English are head people. The accent
   in that country really is on the pate. They wear powdered
   wigs and those big bearskin hats, are ruled by the crown
   and they like to call each other governor and squire –
   meaning headman.

   The Japanese are ruled by the tummy. Their speech
   comes from the gut, they bow from the waist, and they’re
   preoccupied with ‘hara’, Japanese for stomach. When
   they want to end it all they take the spirit – ki – out of
   the stomach and commit ‘hara-kiri.’

   American culture stems from the arms, shoulders
   and lungs. Big muscled arms have always been our
   totem. We hold most of the boxing titles, our football
   players sport huge shoulders and, with our rulership
   of the lungs, we “write the songs that make the
   whole world sing.”

   There’s one more notion on humanity that, we think,
   brings it to a genuine out-of-the-box level.

   GULLIVER
   Many believe that all the people of the world are
   really one. They feel a strong kinship to everyone
   else on the planet. We believe this too and we have
   a model that ties the world together.

   If you start at England, move west in an up-and-
   down wave, and assign the body chakras to major
   cultural areas, you get a huge form stretched around the
   globe that resembles the human body. We call it Gulliver.
   We associate the body chakra parts to signs of the
   zodiac because each chakra follows closely the
   characteristics of one of the twelve astrological signs.

   Let’s begin our voyage with Gulliver’s head – England.
   It’s ruled by the sign Aries, is associated with the head,
   as we said, and is the start of the globe’s longitude.
   We’ve redrawn the world map to better show the model.

   FERDINAND THE BULL
   The next zone is the jaw and neck. The sign is Taurus
   and it includes Ireland, New England and South
   America. A look at the map shows them to be in line
   as the next body part.
   The Irish are the proverbial
   silver-tongued talkers and drinkers, both qualities
   of the jaw. They are often referred to as ‘Harps,’
   an allusion to the vocal chords. New Englanders
   are traditionally the most stubborn of Americans,
   a characteristic of Taurus. In South America we
   can visualize the Pampas with contentedly grazing
   bulls, the Taurean totem, as far as the eye can see.
   Taurus is fixed and stable earth; no army has ever
   marched out of South America to menace any other
   part of the world. The sign also rules childhood and
   governments in South America are usually headed
   by, what can best be described as, a gang of school
   yard bullies.
   AMERICA
   Gemini rules the arms, shoulders and lungs, and
   its age level is adolescence. Its place in the world
   lies in the northeast of the United States. Here is
   the domain of energy, innovation and youthful culture.
   Sports accent upper body strength. America’s
   government is topped by a set of Gemini twins –
   President and Vice-President. As a teenage society
   we can’t stand to bow to authority figures, so for
   problem solving we choose up sides and play out
   every issue as a game. Our adolescent culture
   marks us overly optimistic, so we go into debt
   easily always thinking that tomorrow will be better.

   With manifest destiny and a civil war the northeast
   was able to impose its Gemini will on the rest of the
   country. However, other signs are still intact.
   DIXIE
   The bosom of the world is in the southeastern part
   of the United States. The south has a distinct culture
   of its own, ruled by the sign Cancer, that accents
   home and women in general. Songs are mostly
   about the love of a woman, and although men are
   as brave as anywhere, the emphasis is on ‘down
   home’ values.
   The world’s heart lies in the
   zone from Los Angeles to Micronesia. It is the Leo
   area of the world and houses the stars of Hollywood
   and the blazing sun of the Pacific islands.
   Moving on we encounter the
   tummy of Gulliver in Japan and Australia. Countries
   in this zone are ruled by Virgo. A listing of the
   attributes of this sign and those of Japan would be
   identical. Neatness, attention to detail, hard work and
   uniformity of action are guide-book descriptions of
   that country and the sign. The Japanese are governed
   by politeness and conformity. Australia, though not
   identical, has definite Virgo qualities.
   A CLINICAL VIEW
   We allocate the world’s hips and spine to Libra; the
   place is China. We hate to say it, but we think that the
   dragons in Chinese parades are totems of the human
   derriere – no other explanation seems to fit as well.
   The dragon’s head comes at the end of an intestine-
   like body, snorting fire from its ‘mouth.’ Chinese
   astrology lists a bunch of low-life animals – pig, dog,
   rat, snake – that correspond to some of the signs,
   but for their own sign, Libra, they use Dragon. Their
   ‘seat of power’ is the Chairman. Libra rules art, beauty
   and up and down balance, which is a key feature of the
   Chinese language.
   Scorpio is to be found in
   Southeast Asia. It rules the organs of reproduction.
   Not only is sex a national industry in Thailand, but
   the iron will, characteristic of Scorpio, was evident
   as Vietnam withstood Chinese, Japanese, French
   and American conquests to finally achieve its
   independence.
   MONGOL HORSEMEN
   The thigh is the Sagittarian part of the body.
   Without Sag you can’t run very fast. The galloping
   warriors of Genghis Khan, and now the Trans
   Siberian Railway, attest to the Sagittarian grip on
   this part of the world. The upper leg, having the
   longest bone in the body, extends the Sag culture
   all the way to Arabia, where machismo, their so-
   called honor, and swift action flourish.

   India is the knee zone.
   It is ruled by the Capricorn goat, ever climbing in
   consciousness but also mindful of the hierarchy
   of the caste system. Capricorn rules old age.
   The aged are revered in India, and usually are an
   intrinsic part of the government.
   MORE VODKA, COMRADE?
   Russian dance and military high stepping is
   focused on their calf-length boots. They are
   the shin-Aquarian part of the great body.
   Aquarians are the booze-guzzling, party-goers
   of the zodiac and they tend to be a tad lazy.
   This idiosyncrasy is probably the reason that
   crops in Russia often rot in the fields. They also
   champion equality, definitely an Aquarian trait,
   evidenced by the 70 year socialist experiment there.
   Finally, the Piscean feet are to
   be found in Africa, where the best Olympic runners
   come from, and Europe, which held such importance
   during the last two thousand years of the Age of Pisces.

   ONE WORLD
   Gulliver then, resembles a big body and consists of
   the major cultures around the globe. It’s a powerful
   model for understanding the interaction of the world’s
   societies. It also tells those of us who are aware that,
   yes, we are all part of one great being.

2. I need to make a correction. I meant to say “The legal jeopardy for violating the regulations of office and license are only supposed to apply to the office or license and NOT Incriminate the individual.” I forgot to add that what makes a license a “privelege” is that it “Allows the license holder to engage in an illegal activity under the rules regulating that activity”. For example; It was once a right for anyone to operate a motor vehicle in private or on a public highway. For the public good it became necessary to remove this right from some people. The mechanism is that it was made a crime to operate a motor vehicle on a public highway… unless you are issued a license to engage in this illegal activity and violating the regulations of this license can lead to fines aliened upon the license or by loss of it. Rights are not priveleges. Priveleges can be regulated. Regulations are not crimes. Crimes are violations of rights by a perpetrator upon a victim. The State or a person can be either the victim or the perp.

3. Hello. I just read the story of Mrs Fitts ordeal and adventures. People ask me
   why do I bother being interested in these things. I think they, like I once did
   still trust in government to do what’s right. I am interested as far as wanting to know where to step and where not to.
   Being smaller than the rest of the kids
   and a gentle person, I was endlessly bullied back in school. I could deal with
   it, I’m tougher than most. back in grade school at Holy Ghost In Omaha Ne. I
   earned some credibility by taking on the bully of the bullies and although I
   got donkey stomped I got some good fair shots in and did some damage against a
   foe all feared. It is a pivotal point of pride in my life. I left that school
   to attend Brian Jr High school. It was a new experience and there were bullies
   there as well but one particular bum must have just thought I was too uncool
   for breathing. He just got right to it and said he was going to kill me. I
   told my counceller but not my folks at the time. The councellor said it was
   probably no big deal and nothing to worry about blah blah blah and just let her know if he says or does anything
   more. He stabbed me. He walked by without saying a word and stabbed me right
   over the heart with a pencil or a screwdriver or something that stopped at the
   rib but it was hard enough of a hit to make a hole and to knock me down. What
   really disturbed me out of it all is that the school wanted to hush it up. my
   parents talked to the police who listened then may or may not have refused to
   make a report. What they did do was to inform my parents that there will be no
   charges filed at the request of the school who put me in inhouse suspension
   for a week. This left me with no depth to my contempt for so called authority. I was
   living dirty and some “freinds” took me fishing which was unknown to me to be
   actually a burgurlary for which I went to jail. Someone in there told me not
   to feel bad. “What’s done is done, dont seek revenge…make things right”. He
   said “some people are destined for great things and that can be either good or
   bad but the direction you take is entirely your own choice”.

   Currently I am trying to be sucessful in trucking which is a worsening
   situation for the semi independant trucker. I am disgusted in the ways that
   The FHWA and the insurance companies construct policies to put the independant
   at the mercy of wall street connected companies. the wallstreet financed
   corporations tag the majority of the market cap with their brand locking the
   independant out, grab the gravy accounts for their own interests and put the
   rest up for bid stripped of profit. You might say it’s just business but
   actually business in a free country is supposed to be honest and equitable.
   What they do and call business really isnt business.
   The government is to maintain free and open markets but they do not. These
   are known as “STANDARDS” and they are to apply equally to all parties. There
   is no “freight neutrality” in the trucking industry, it is not a fair and open
   market. The rates were once regulated.
   Fuel surcharges per mile vary in reimbursement for the fuel costs from company to company.
   For example my gross revenue per mile has increased from 80cents/mile with 10cpm surcharge to 90cpm with 45cpm surcharge. Fuel is costing me 75cpm more over this time frame so my
   gross after fuel has gone from 70cpm to 35cpm before taxes and the 20cpm that
   maintenance costs.
   there is no “STANDARD” for what anyone may call a fuel
   surcharge.
   For every nickel of fuel cost increase, the sucharge needs to go up 1 penny
   to cover the cost. This formula is accurate from 4mpg to 7mpg which is the
   range that the industry operates in.
   Gas stations are not allowed to define the volume of a gallon it is a set
   standard. a surcharge can be anything but a “fuel surcharge” is based on the
   cost of a regulated substance at a common and calculable consumption rate in a
   regulated industry. it should be standardized.
   That is a fight worth fighting. I also think I can help the Independant
   trucker like myself. where the big companies are weak, we can be strong. What
   have you ever bought that needed to be delivered and did not have a shipping
   charge? The big conglomerates keep shipping costs down between themselves but
   gouge the ultimate customer. Nestle Purina to Walmart loads pay very little to
   the carrier with little to the broker and at a bargain to walmart. The
   truckers make bottom dollar regardless of the customer but if YOU bought a
   truckload of something and you dont have the clout of volume prchases to get you a better
   deal, the shipper you buy from is going to gouge you on shipping and still
   chintz the broker who has to lowball the carrier who pays the trucker the
   least amount he will haul it for.
   If you had access to the trucks and the tools to book your own loads
   bypassing the brokers and the shippers it would be for the benefit of you the
   ultimate customer and the independant trucker. All of the websites “advertised” by the search engines on the internet are broker owned or underwritten undr their authority to a 3pl “third party logistics”. 3pl’s do not own trucks and do not haul freight they are brokers who shuffle the paper and keep the profit. there is currently no public open market on freight. Part of this prob;lem is that everyone is out for them self. even the tax protesters arent about ending your taxes they are out to end theirs. Really has anyone ever paid the taxes as they were protesting them?
   A corporation even with its connections and abuse of the public trust cannot compete with a person or company out to do something only for the benefit of the overall market or the trade.
   I got to thinking about it and you just cant beat the game. the die is cast.
   But the little guy following the rules cant beat the game right?
   THE LITTLE GUY CAN BUST THE GAME!
   and thats good business for eveyone. If someone wont pass the gravy around
   the table you might just have to spill the gravy. If you let them Hog the
   gravy whatt-a-you think their gonna do with the turkey?
   I’m calling for standardization of “fuel surcharges”
   I’m calling for “freight neutrality”
   I’m calling for annexation of the federal reserve by the U.S. Govt. and siezure of it’s assets under R.I.C.O with an interpretaion that past legislators were acting in good faith but unlawfully in shopping out the federal powers which must reverse to the state and to the people if not exercised. The law of the land is the law ON THE LAND, not ON THE MAN. The individual is innately free from ownership or duress of being under orders by the protection of the law. Public servants and lincensee’s of privelege are under the “rule of law”, not the free persons and that rulership of law only imposes upon their office of public trust and their license to operate in the unlawful activity. The legal jeopardy for violating the regulations of office and license are only supposed to apply to the office or license and Incriminate the individual. There is a distnct difference between crimes and offenses of regulation and that line has been smeared over time buy corruption and professional illiteracy. It’s unconstitutional for our government to impose debt upon our persons. Our government is supposed to be loaning the money it manufactures and collecting interest on it for the public good, not borrowing it from crooks.
   I’m calling for the obsoletion of the personal income tax. The taxation powers of government only apply to what the government rules over by license of the constitution. The people are not under rule we are under protection. The law of the land is on the land not on the man and “the flag does not follow”.
   I support constitutional taxes on commerce and privelege. Something like the FAIR TAX can be a good and lawfull alternative if it is a SALES AND USE TAX. A value added tax or just a sales tax will only move company tax obligations to the individual at the consumer level while the rich would enjoy tax free use of anything purchased through their companies.
   I must also say that SERVICES must be exemted from a national sales and use tax not just by declaration but in how the legislation is crafted. If not, then a retail tax on services would become a defacto income tax.
   I am calling for the elimination of private property siezure by authorities in connection with legal jeopardy. Siezure of private property for the public good by condemnation is lawfull if the person is equitably remunerated for the deprivement. This practice of criminal siezure is a legal conflict of interest and promotes abuse. The one thing worse than a thief who steals for sustinance is a theif who steals just to take. Property rights are an inalienable right and cannot be removed. Punishment for statutory crimes apply to an individuals person by incarceration and fines. punishment for regular offenses apply to a persons license to operate in the regulated activity and not to the body of the person directly. Some will say “this not how the law is”. This is true, it is how the law was and was designed to be. The law is not a god, it is what we make of it. WE MAKE THE LAW and if we don’t someone else most surely will. What truely is conservative of rights and liberal in practice and “progressive” is that as technology increases… the burdon of government on each person should diminish.
   I would even go so far as to call for a plea of “no harm no foul” considering that if a person is confronted by law enforcement and forthwith offers any evidence he may be in posession of that would lead to a conviction of a victimless crime or misdemeanor; that the person may not be charged with a crime or misdemeanor material to that evidence however the evidence would become part of public record and the officers would still be allowed to detain and investigate.
   The variety of commercial and social Institutions, Companies, Governments, They come and go and not one has any divine right to be for they are created of man. Any aggregation of men cannot be greater than any one man for it is the single soul which is divine in it’s license. Even in a fallen imperfect mortal state the precious temporal whisp of a person’s being is the foundation of everything corporal in this world and ought to be respected by all.
   I don’t know if I will ever get a chance to run for office but at least a person should develop a platform that you believe in. I’ve always been pretty self centered. I’m working on my “platform” and it draws me to think of others more than, or at least as much of as myself. You and I can’t be free untill as a people we all are free and you have to hunt for the pack if you want to live with the pack. We all want to live don’t we?

4. Dear Ms. Catherine Fitts,

   I heard you last night on Coast to Coast with George Noory. I like the way that you tell it like it is (kind of a Gov. Palin approach). Last night you had a caller that stated that he had a plan to end the foreclosure problem and you encouraged him to e-mail you. I am not that caller but, I too feel that I can make an impact on our nations current foreclosure problems.

   Let me start by stating that I have written (snail mail) to the governors of the six states with the highest foreclosures (California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, and Michigan). Only governor Crist of Florida answered my letter. Do these elected officials not care about the hurt that their constituents are going through? They give the topic good lip service but little to no action. If they are waiting for the federal government to come in as a white knight to their rescue they are “playing the fiddle as Rome burns”! Action should have been taken months if not years ago to solve this problem. It is still not too late to take action now since more foreclosure loom in the future.

   I was a loss mitigation officer in the early 1990’s in California. During this era President Clinton started cutting back on defense spending resulting in the loss of many jobs and economically a cause of major foreclosure problems. I saved my employer millions of dollars in potential losses being creative. I took loans that were 30 years and converted them to 40 year amortization. Variable interest rate loans were changed into fixed interest rate. Loans were modified skipping monthly payments. I even granted debt forgiveness on rare occasions. There is much that can be done (unfortunately it has to be done on a case by case basis), to help the borrower and keep the property from going into foreclose / a loss to both the bank and community .

   Realizing in year 2006 that we were going to experience a massive foreclosure problem across our nation, with the help of my wife, we wrote a training manual titled BanKnology – LOSS MITIGATION, copyrighted in January 2007 before the “bomb exploded” and the subprime problem was first brought to public attention. We have gone into great detail through case studies giving the trainee practical experience and the techniques, if employed correctly, that would return a bad loan into once again a performing asset.

   We have great credentials with our product being endorsed and offered by BankersOnline and the Independent Community Bankers Association (ICBA). But, this is not enough. We need to reach more people!

   We will be the first to admit that sometimes foreclosure is the only answer. However, not to try to mitigate a loss is unconscionable. How can we get the word out to stop these insane foreclosures that weaken our economy and hurt our citizens? Can you help us?

5. Catherine: great job on George Noury last nite. Watch for the announcement next wk of our venture with one of the big 3 auto makers!
   Let the peaceful economic revolution begin…

   The PICC (our catalytic converter) will be ready after the big national announcement coming Monday Sept. 15th. The HAFC (fuel cell) works now for hundreds of cars, but it’s too complicated. By the time we get mechanics to install and tune, the PICC will be ready. With the

6. Katherine,

   I believe I heard you say you came up with a plan to build community finances that would in turn correct the problems above. It was the fight that was waged against you that worries me most. We have a plan to assist our First Responders

   We are putting together an organization to fund the equipment needs and spiritual well being of Georgia’s First Responders. Any state sworn officer, firefighter, H.E.R.O., 911 operator or hospital employee would fit under our definition of First Responder as they are all trained positions. Equipment needs are the various devices that can save their lives while they are trying to save ours. Spiritual well being refers to when a catastrophic illness or death occurs under their own roof. We do not separate the family member from the First Responder, rather we see the under the same roof family as the total First Responder.

   Our project is First Responder’s Resource Organization. In listing to you I and coast on a irregular basis I wonder if we should not plan for the same type of attacks.
   If our project perks your interest ping me back and as soon as we complete the website which is scheduled to be uploaded for September 16, 2008, we will send you a link. We intend to file the corporation papers on September 11, 2008.

7. What a wonderful audience you’all are. Let em try to answer some of your questions as best I can.

   Jesse:

   Thanks for posting your link. I hope it helps connect St. Johns with some wonderful clients and you can really make a difference for them.

   Ed:

   If you look at all of our financial and economic problems they can theoretically be solved by ending the suppression of energy, health and other knowledge and technology. Which means that we have a political problem. So the key to getting technology to spread is to do it in a way that it can move virally, reducing risk and expenses as it moves at the grassroots.

   John G:

   Thanks so much for your kind words. I believe my posting the file would violate the Coast to Coast coypright. They market them to their subscribers.

   John L.:

   There are numerous contractual law issues involved in forcing lenders to renegotiate. That is why I would love to see the fraudulent inducement argument litigated. (See the recent Village Voice article by Amanda Stutt — a link is posted a this blog).

   Yes, it is a land grab. Unfortunately, it is one that millions of us have facilitated.

   Carter:

   Thanks!

   Victory 1:

   I wish I had better public sources on invisible weaponry, including electromagnetic weaponry. I would recommend you start by reviewing what is available at globalresearch.ca and http://www.earthpulse.com/. If you find any sources that you think are good, please do post them here.

   Charles:

   Take a look at the recent review on my blog called “Recommended” about Jim Norman’s new book, The Oil Card. He has some very interesting theories about the war in Iraq which I think make a lot of sense.

   Joe:

   I do not know if either candidate is familiar with my work. If they have any interest, it would be after the election, not before.

   Since I am on record since 1998 as saying that the US mortgage system, including Fannie and Freddie, are engaging in significant fraudulent inducement and systemic fraud, a Presidential campaign is likely to stay away.

   The mortgage bubble was bipartisan and the clean up is being engineered by the same folks that created the bubble (See Fannie and Freddie are Penny Stocks – Part II)

   During the campaign, a candidate is unlikely to want to rock the boat.

   Chris:

   Money is just a tool. How will we collaborate and share the governance and management of resources, including time?

   Seems to me that tools to do that with will be useful no matter what.

   Rick:

   Yup! That is the heart of the Tapeworm.

   Stephen:

   Thanks for positing your link. I will check it out.

   Mike:

   I mentioned fraudulent inducement, collateral fraud, and derivatives fraud. I would start by reading my latest article “Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008”. “Dillon, Read & Co. Inc and the Aristocracy of Profits” and “The Myth of the Rule of Law”.

   You can pick up all the links at the blog under “Fannie and Freddie are Penny Stocks – Part I.”

   Scott:

   Great idea!

   To what extent is the problem that they have to sell the entire pool, they can peal off one mortgage in some of the packages?

   Great comments and questions.

   Thanks so much for listening and caring. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you.

   In “cahoots”

   Catherine
