  1. I think Catherine’s new bangs look fantastic! And I always look forward to seeing what John is wearing. Well done to both of you for always looking your best. It really does matter.

  2. Catherine,

    At 17.52, when discussing the Trump administration’s push to own Greenland, you ask ‘What’s the driver here?’ It seems clear to me that, next to other stacked functions, like cooling data-centers and stealing the resources, the driver is to establish ‘The Technate of America’.

    This becomes clear when one looks at the map of that technate, in combination with all the countries on the American continent Trump is beefing with, attacking and manipulating (Canada, Mexico, Colombia, Honduras and Venezuela so far). Derrick Broze just wrote an article on Trump’s technocratic Venezuela-move: https://www.thelastamericanvagabond.com/venezuela-technocracy/

  3. Catherine and John, great show as always. Thank you!
    I followed up a bit on the Davos Meeting this week with two points standing out to me:
    1. Trump rolling back on his punitive tariffs on 8 European countries incl. Germany and his threats on applying military force on annexing Greenland. Have European countries applied some sort of pressure on Trump behind the scenes? I am thinking of selling off US Treasuries as you and John have insinuated.
    2. Howard Lutnick was confronting Europeans (and effects of globalization) with their politics on migration, environmental, etc. during a panel discussion. Now it comes: Lutnick continued to complain about Europeans during a dinner hosted by Larry Fink. Lutnick’s speech was so confrontative that many people started to leave the dinner, incl. Christine Lagarde, that Larry Fink called it off even before desert was served. What has happened there? Thank you, Christian

  4. Thank you both. Catherine, in Huntsville you said people don’t see the Freight Train headed for them. Chase Hughes said people don’t see what is coming and want until it hits them and then it is to late. Solari members get much insight others don’t, thank you.

    Col Wilkerson pointed out a couple of things this week, Witkoff and Kushner got 1 billion each for Gaza. Plus he talked about a shock to me, Ashland and that whole area has not been rebuilt. Why, the insurance companies are requiring a huge up front payment. Seems all the insurance companies are doing this there by zero rebuilding. Would seem some one wants to buy all those valleys which have rare earth????? Not a peep about this in the media.

  5. No offense, but I find John Titus so distracting with his interjections while Catherine is trying to explain, especially financial aspects, of the subject matter. I wish he would allow her to complete her sentences and thoughts and not cause the conversation to deviate from its original course. His forte is law, but it certainly isn’t finance. I find myself saying, “Hush, John!!” more times than I can count during these exchanges and am actually dreading these discussions on some level. “Hush, John! And listen to your better.” I want to hear what Catherine has to say, not your arguments about what you think is actually going on. The conversation should not be an argument in support of your viewpoints, however educated or not, you may be on the subject matter.
