The Solari Report – 16 Apr 2009
Dmitry Orlov is an engineer, author and blogger. He was born in Leningrad and moved to the United States at the age of 12. He has a BS in Computer Engineering and an MA in Applied Linguistics.
Dmitry was an eyewitness to the collapse of the Soviet Union government, currency and economy over several extended visits to his Russian homeland between the late 1980s and mid-1990s. His observations are described in his book, Reinventing Collapse, published last summer.
His articles on the Russian collapse experience and what Americans can learn from it are widely read, including, Closing the Collapse Gap, which compares the collapse-preparedness of the USA and the USSR, and Social Collapse Best Practices (video version.)
On this Thursday evening’s Solari Report, in addition to covering current market events and your latest questions, I will be speaking with Dmitry about the possibility of a collapse in the United States and what we can learn from the Russian experience as we move together through tough economic times.

Dear Astarr,
Would you care to elaborate on who made the request to remove comments and any evidence those party’s provided to convince you that the comments made were indeed “slanderous or offensive”?
Furthermore, is this the first time that Solari has received such a request and the first time Solari has acquiesced to the requestor’s wishes?
In general, this author makes extremely bold statements about the future of the USA, it’s “similarities” with the USSR, and what American’s should do based upon these statements. It certainly seems more than fair that the author should be prepared to address and respond to tough criticism and questions.
We have had a request to remove comments about Dmitry Orlov that are slanderous or offensive. As Dmitry is our guest on The Solari Report, we have made the decision to do so.
We will, however, continue to tolerate your slanderous and offensive comments about Catherine and her opinions.
So sorry to have missed the program last night. I had a tight schedule, and it went off the rails (almost literally) thanks to our antiquated Boston subway system. Perhaps we can do it some other time.

Well, you all are going to have fun with this one.
I spoke with Dmitry this afternoon. We covered the schedule and the outline for our discussion on The Solari Report this evening.
He never called in tonight and he has not called or returned our calls or e-mails.
I ended up discussing what I have learned from studying the Russian implosion that is relevant to our situation.
I will try to find out what happened and post.
I have been hearing the sky is falling since I was a little girl in grade school where I, and former kindergartners were made to practice crawling under our desks in case of a nuclear bomb. As a daughter of depression era parents who struggled during the late 1920’s my mother laughs at how “bad” those that didn’t live through it make it out to be. I also worked at one of those 1980s “failed” Savings and Loans where the VP was a former Treasury Officer and a brilliant, highly respected woman in banking. The little boys sent in to audit by the feds didn’t know how to spot a good loan in SF if it slapped them in the face. The VP quit when the Feds took over warning that the govt would drive this particular S & L into the ground – one that would have survived fine as the market improved. The man the Feds put in place was a nutcase and I saw exactly what she said would happen = happened.
The bottom line is that if you try to get people to take their focus off the smoke and mirrors such as Catherine has done, you and your family pay the price. The media is the surrogate mind of the masses in America. “Democracy and Markets” is the talk but Totalitarinism is the walk and only the likes of Catherine Austing Fitts and a few others with the help of God will prevail against it.
