Catherine, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! for coming over to “our side” and exposing the chickens/cattle virus op for what it is, a total scam. Tptb are running this op to take inexpensive and healthy sources of protein from us so that we’re too weak to fight back. It’s an old op, some say started in Rome with the wheat trade and the bread and circuses.
Very ugly what is happening. Finally, folks are understanding the real intent behind the Great Poisoning https://unbekoming.substack.com/p/the-mind-thieves-how-your-medicine
Hi Catherine,
I have just come accross this video, It IS originally in Spanish but I think it works fine with the automated translation option, and in case of any doubt please let me know and I will translate.
It talks about a possible scenarios of mass psicosis as it happened with COVID but now with AI being engineered by the same people.
Where they would state AI has gone out of control and after all the fear they would justify to introduce again draconian measures.
I try to listen to all of your programs but maybe I could have missed if you have already talked about this possibility, if that is the case I would be grateful if you could point me out where to listen to it, in case not I think it is with watching it is only 14 minutes long and is very detailed, would be great to hear your thoughts about it!!
The link to the video is the following:

Thanks, listening now. Good points so far.
In regards to the data center in Tucson, AZ i.e. ProjectBlue, I live in Tucson and the fight isn’t over. The City Council woman (Nikki Lee), who’s district the data center was to be built in, basically said a data center in Tucson is inevitable. https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/080525_project_blue_alternatives/nikki-lee-regardless-tucson-city-council-vote-some-version-project-blue-will-built/ The fight is likely moving to the county (Pima County) and possibly the state. However, there is transpartisan opposition to this data center since you can’t drink economic development, and we can ask the people in Abilene, TX and San Antonio, TX about data center claims of “water positivity” (which is the industry’s PR crafted term to deceive communities into thinking the data center won’t suck them dry).
City and County officials now have the vapors and are clutching their pearls because the public aggressively and vocally opposed this data center.
https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/opinion/report/080125_scott_blue_meetings_op/rex-scott-tucson-city-meetings-project-blue-were-unproductive-spectacles/ Everyone is in CYA mode since the project was in development with city and county officials/staff since 2023 under the protection of a NDA. Citizens in the area want to know who knew, when did they knoww, and what did they do about the project. City and County officials are circling the wagons as well as former County Chairperson, Adelita Grijalva, who had to have known about the project, but is staying quiet about the issue since she is running for congress in a special election to be held in September.
Interestingly, aside from one environmental group in Tucson (Watershed Management) the local environmental community was silent about ProjectBlue. Tucson Mayor, Regina Romero, was employed at one time with the Center for Biological Diversity which is headquartered in Tucson. It appears the Tucson environmental community got leaned on or possibly bought off (I don’t have access to their finances to say for certain) to sit out this fight. I share all of this to crowd source a playbook for communities both to be on the look out for these projects being brought into your community and how to fight them. In Tucson the project started out as a poorly publicized zoning issue at the county board of supervisors. Fortunately opposition grew fast, the city was forced into having public hearings where the public raised heck and scared the city council into unanimously voting no.
The fight continues, and thank you for mentioning it on Money and Markets. I hope you have a great day! 🙂
Thank you for this great documentation what is happening in Tucson. Take notice!
You’re welcome. The fight continues as the data center proponents are looking at other sites near Tucson in neighboring cities/Pima County/State of Arizona land. https://azluminaria.org/2025/08/15/plan-b-for-project-blue-records-reveal-3-other-sites-considered-for-controversial-data-center/ To implement the control grid, the powers that be *NEED* these data centers so this is going to be a long drawn out fight.
The planning for the data center in Tucson has gone on under NDA’s since 2023. Interestingly just after Project Blue became public in Tucson/Pima County there was a water conference in Columbus, OH where the players in Project Blue along with the City of Tucson Water department were in attendance. Not necessarily a nefarious event, however the list of attendees suggests tech companies like Amazon Web Services are inserting themselves in water policy. https://www.wef.org/contentassets/62f9720d4da644c39541a77dba9e2a70/reg-list-as-of-june-13-sample.pdf?_t_ip=52.167.144.169
I haven’t had the time to dive into the report about the “Circular Water Economy” https://www.wef.org/circularwatereconomy that the group running the conference (Water Environment Federation) has produced, but I suspect all of these things are connected. Bottom line everyone needs to pay attention to what is going on in their communities to make sure they are aware of these types of developments.
Worth reading the data center section in Karen Hao’s Empire of AI. I just finished it.
Thank you I’ve listened to several interviews with Karen Hao but haven’t made the time to read her book. I will be sure to do so. Thank you! 🙂
I think the Trump / Putin meeting is the most schizophrenic I have ever witnessed. I think this meeting is about mining the artic jointly while western population is propagandized in rule divide and conquering tactics and think these are peacetalks.
I think the starving vampire class absolutely understands and that is why they tried so hard to break in and be present. So yes, going from private talks to public camera taks must be jarring! Keeping narrative and official narrative straight, as CAF oft puts it, must be energetic draining.
Big news with no news in it!

It could be a move by Trump to bring Russia closer to America to distrupt BRICS. Russia’s future problem is China as may have plans to capture Russia’s land up to the Urals. IMO this Trump-Putin meeting with about Artic development with future plans to build a land bridge connecting the countries. With Musk now in the tunnel business the 50 mile bridge could be a tunnel.
Not going to comment since this post is after the meeting. Except that the lack of any details on what you posit seems to me to indicate you may be on to something. My history is of not trusting Red China as far as I can throw ’em. Not sure but the Russkies nuzzling up a bit to them just seems a jab at the West. Basically saying we will sell energy to them no matter what you do. Militarily I think Putin just hedging. As Catherine says if the U.S. wasn’t agreement incapable then I think we would be a better deal for him. Interesting this week since the EU has Russian Derangement Syndrome even worse than the Neo-Con loons here. We are weakening the EU in a not so clandestine manner. We’ll see what is what I guess. Take care.
I find it amazing how quickly all the EU leaders travelled to Wash D.C.
Gabbard putting the neocons under investigation means they have to speak through their European counterparts.
Been here long enough to understand your feelings on the DOGE effort. However, not enough in the House or Senate to codify any of these because they will never cut spending. Maintaining the personal enrichment scam in D.C. overrides any fiscal sanity or empathy for those being ruined. I have always felt your feelings on Musk obtaining personal information thru DOGE was overhyped. You must know they have this information already. Pretty short time after Patriot Act. What they could not keep is dumped off-shore and easily obtainable. Musk is a tool and a very easily disposed of one when necessary. Just like Tucker. Folks I know were just glad to see the tremendous magnification of the grift. One should know your taxes are mostly used against you but what they found enlightened the clueless and brainwashed. Hard to quantify the outcome of revelations.The co-ordination of the data thru Palantir and others is where Solari has the best focus. I subscribe to Solari for all the things it is involved in to help different factions and shed light on areas folks may not be able to do due diligence on. Money and Markets? Not so much anymore.
Yes, they had a lot of the data, however the extraordinary quality of the payment transaction data made it particularly valuable. AI is feeding on too much garbage in, garbage out. High quality payment data is worth its wait in gold.
Also, if I was the NSA, I would not want to transfer from NSA to Palintir. Very dangerous precedent internally. Much better for DOGE to do it.
I understand that. Despite sort of letting DOGE off the hook somewhat, fact is, I don’t trust either obviously. Particularly with domestic data. Has Solari looked into Ballard Partners? Ties to Bondi and Wiles plus yuge DJT donor? Some interesting dealings as UnitedHealthcare moves into hospice care. UnitedHealthcare and hospice care? Great Caesar’s Ghost!!!
Maybe, just maybe, there are now so many blue whales that they don’t have to sing the blues so loud or so long to find each other. Here on the shores of the Northeast the entire marine food chain is exploding. Fisherman will tell you so. In the 70’s and 80’s you had to go many miles offshore to even hope to see a whale and good luck. Now off the shores of Long Island Humpbacks breach and roll within easy view of the shore every day in the warm months, dolphins frolic for the beach-goers and the very occasional seal will join you in riding the waves. Some recreational fishermen in a small boat struck and killed a Minke whale in the Great South Bay just a couple of weeks ago. One of them was thrown out of the boat with the impact. Minke whales were nearly extinct in my childhood and were never found close inshore, much less under small craft. Vast schools of bunker lose their way up the canals and die en mass of asphyxiation. Minor shark attacks have become a common event the past few years. None of this ever happened, or happened so infrequently as to to unnoticed, in my childhood, a good bit of which was spent on the shore. In the mid-80’s there were two mating pairs of ospreys on all of Long Island (I was well connected to conservation-oriented circles). Now they nest on peoples chimneys leaving rotting fish corpses and other goodies all over the decks of the working rich. I just missed getting clobbered by a falling bunker one inept osprey lost its grip upon. On shore we now have Great Horned owls serenading us every year in late winter and Eastern Screech owls have become quite common. I lusted after owls in my childhood, but had to be satisfied with two brief encounters with the same barn owl. Now they are everywhere. It is not all bad news on the ecological front.
On the Omniwar front I offer the following from proto-beat poet Kenneth Patchen, I think, from the 40’s. This crap has been going on for far longer than most would like to admit. The boomers have decided that they will have it all before they die. Their ancestors had greater patience, but were no less evil, only better educated and culturally adept.

Yes, been going on as long as I can remember. It is just getting harder to avoid.
That is such wonderful news, Michael. Thank you!
The Israeli military calling a huge amount of troops to take over Palestine can be filled in with American volunteers joining the IDF.
How to Join
If you are interested in serving in the IDF, there are a number of options available, depending on your age, physical condition and status.

The sad things is that around me there are probably thousands of Christian Zionists who would lvoe to go. They already go there to pick grapes.
Remarkable that anyone would volunteer to join to help implement a holocaust with a plunder to make the mega rich richer.
