Read the transcript of Journey to Chartres with Thomas Meyer

“We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant, than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours.” ~ John of Salisbury quoting Bernard of Chartres, 1159

By Catherine Austin Fitts

In October, I journeyed to Switzerland to visit with Thomas Meyer and his family. Thomas and his team from Perseus Publishing held a workshop in Basel, where we discussed our vision of the future. Will men and women live free in the light of divine authority? Or will we descend into subhumanism and hypermaterialism?

Then Thomas and I journeyed together by train to France to visit the great cathedral of Chartres. We were joined by members of Perseus Publishing’s team (who publish Europa and The Present Age) and by Robert Dupper, who drove from the Netherlands to film our discussions of pilgrimage. As those of us in the United States gather this week to celebrate Thanksgiving, I am deeply grateful that Thomas and his exceptional team have become part of our lives and the network of Solari contributors dedicated to integrity and a human future.

Join us as Thomas and I celebrate this great cathedral and its builders and stewards—and the fact that Chartres continues to nourish and inspire so many who journey there.

In 2020, I will join Thomas for his next workshop in Basel (in March), and he will join our Lake Constance Hang in August. Solari Report subscribers are welcome at both events!

For Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review the film The Myth of Extinction (Rebellion) by Truthstream Media. Melissa and Aaron Dykes’ latest offering does a marvelous job of documenting the lavish expenditures of the uber-wealthy on funding extreme protests and street theater designed to fake a “grassroots” movement and manipulate concerns about the environment—all to engineer more central control.


It’s the last week of the month, so no Money & Markets. Please e-mail your questions for Ask Catherine or post them at the Money & Markets commentary for the next Money & Markets in December here.

  2. I enjoyed your discussion with Thomas and was happily surprised by the synchronicity of having just read Wendell Berry’s essay ‘The Presence of Nature in the Natural World: A Long Conversation’. Berry writes of Alanus De Insulis or Alan of Lille and Alan’s book ‘On the Plaint of Nature’. I had just started reading ‘Saturn, Mary, Sophia Star Wisdom’ which also tells the story of Alanus.

  3. This was a profoundly enjoyable interview. Thank you. Kindly post the details for your March workshop. I look forward to joining you.

    1. Terrific. I have emailed The Present Age team to ask them how to reserve a space.

  4. The most powerful part of this interview in my opinion was the part about spiritual protection. Perhaps you or someone could expand on what attitude or practices develop this gift or is it Grace or Mercy?
    I feel this would be a very helpful discussion for everyone, as our culture is entraining us to place our protection in external forces.

    1. I did two interviews on Spiritual Warfare – one with Jon Rappoport and one with Franklin Sanders. In this context, I also recommend all the discussions with Thomas which are linked in this commentary, as well as Learning to Walk About with Harry Blazer and the Power of It with JOn Rappoport. I also think Deep State Tactics 101 will help. We will role it up in the Annual Wrap Up for January.

  5. Great interview with Thomas Meyer! My reason to sign up with you Catherine. I love the spiritual protection you mentioned as I felt always guided and protected on my journey. I grew up in Basel and still love my home town, however I live in BC, Canada.
    Thank you for all you do and your great work!

    I wish to take the opportunity this Thanksgiving week to say I am very thankful that Donald J. Trump was elected as the 45th President.

    I took notice that a subscriber stated “He (Trump) is corruption personified”. Has Donald Trump done corrupted deeds in his life? Since he was involved in major NY real estate and dealing with unions to get a building completed and that he was active in the casino gambling business I dare say he has done more than a few corrupted acts. But is he a corrupted individual? We do know he shows narcissism, egomania, self-belief and unbending optimism traits.

    Frankly I am amazed with his energy at his age and his rhino thick skin were arrows do not stick. What his “surprised” election has produced is he shined a light on those “unelected” bureaucrats out of the shadows in their quest to delegitimize his presidency. It was just a few years ago a person would be called a conspiracy theorist for saying America had a two tier justice department and the “elites” were no accountable to the law. The good news is people are waking up that something is wrong with the system.

    Since day one President Trump has been cut a thousand times to deter his efforts in governing starting with leaks in the White House where they had to close the White House during the 2017 summer to “debug” the building.

    What amazes me is the partnership of different factions cooperating with one another to undermine the White House. Senior officials from the US law enforcement, intel agencies, and diplomatic people used electronic surveillance and humans to spy on the Trump team. Then the press were leaked classified info and fake news in a combine effort to disrupt the peaceful transition of power and throw the U.S. government in chaos.

    The question is “what are they afraid of Donald Trump”? Maybe Lt. General Flynn can shed some light as he changed the way intelligence was collected and streamlined the process that would have threatened thousands of jobs and the intel agencies budgets if President Trump allowed him to expand the streamlining.

    What gave the plotters the enthusiasm to stick together and continue their “paper coup” as they dragged America through the mud as they attempted to overthrow the elected government? The enthusiasm could of been the selection of Jeff Sessions being appointed as AG. He appears to be a very descent human being but his low testosterone level gave the go ahead on their “treason” deeds, especially after he recuse himself.

    Will America be told the true story of the attempted coup? I am sure it will be papered over and do not expect much from the coming Horowitz report as it does not have any teeth. Durham is the person to watch now that he announced he has expanded the investigation to criminal. Something tells me after that announcement many government people went to the DOJ to change or alter their testimonies.

    So no I don’t think Donald Trump is a corrupted individual, I am beginning to think their is something else going on. He may be a person that is going to give America another opportunity to get it’s house in order as a society as the only true answer of change is with the people. With the awaking of how corrupted our ruling system is it may engage people to be more pro active in government on all levels.

    Catherine you speak often about the midianites. Well, that may be going on as I write. Rep. Nunes said he has gotten a great deal of help from whistleblowers on his investigations. How many of the principal plotters are going to turn on one another? James Clapper already has pointed towards the Obama White House. And it has been rumored Lisa Page flipped at the very beginning. Yes, there will be blood in the water and it may be needed for this country to swing back to a traditional path of putting more power in the hands of people.

    To add to the midianite illustration the old testament has a story during Jezebel’s time about a warrior named Jehu. Jehu was a soldier who became King of Israel. He was an outsider, not a politician, a fighter, combative, and contentious and one of his first act as King he ordered all the pagan priests that Jezebel brought to the palace to be killed. Next he stopped the practice of child sacrifice that Jezebel’s pagan priests performed.

    So let’s go to current day. When Donald Trump made his announcement in 2015 he was going to run for president the gate of Palmyra was blown up by ISIS. The Gate of Palmyra was the location of child sacrifice. Next a replicate of the Gate of Palmyra was erected in NYC and shortly after New York passes the most liberal abortion law that allows full term abortion. Also Catherine if you remember during the Kavanaugh hearing a duplicate Gate of Palmyra was erected in Washington DC. I think God may be telling us something, get your house in order, realize the value of human life, and take back personal power.

    So whatever people say about President Trump I think he has kicked the can down the road to allow Americans to realize their individual power. Therefore I am thankful for Donald J. Trump

    Now I am not going to disappoint you as you know I look at number & symbols. So here are three:
    Donald Trump born on June 14, 1946 (Flag Day)
    When President Trump took the oath of office he was
    70 years, 7 months and 7 days old.
    Gematria value of Donald J Tump is 888
    Then the last name is Trump as it trumpet (bringing in
    change)

    That’s it, Happy Thanksgiving.

    2. Bob:

      I agree that the US is better off for Trump winning than Clinton. I will cover this in detail with Farrell in the Annual Wrap Up when Joseph and I do the Trump Report Card. From what I see the deep state is moving along quite well, so at the deepest level I don’t see a change in the financial coup consolidation. And whoever the bureaucrats are – they work for the real deep state which is the money men who own and control the equity and insurance risk positions – not civil servants – and they have been running the banks and corporations that have taken over the government -secret money for secret operations and secret armies. AND – millions in America have enjoyed the ride. Red Button problem. Problem is deep.

      1. Catherine

        Totally agree the problem is extremely deep.

        There seems to be a kind of a warfare going on, one that you cannot see or touch as there has been so much hate generated towards Donald Trump. From outspoken celebrities, talking heads on TV and in print media.

        Did you known since Feb 2017 all over America and the world witches gather together at midnight under the crescent moon to cast spells? The gatherings takes place every crescent moon until they achieve their results of Trump’s removal from office. I have to wonder if the many laying on hands by ministers at the White House meetings has anything to do with that.

        Just sharing, not trying to prove anything

  7. Hello Catherine, “We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants”.
    Just like the four stained glass windows on the right side when facing the altar at Chartres. Keep Smiling ! Steve
