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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. 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.
