  1. Catherine, any chance we can get a masterclass on how to understand what you call ‘pretzel talk?’ Listening to Marc Carney, various central bankers, Fink, Lagarde and others at Davos talking about various issues and realized that they are not talking in Orwell’s “doublespeak” nonsense just for the sake of ambiguity, they are speaking in a coded language that insiders will understand but whose finer points will be missed or misunderstood by outsiders. Money and Markets helps a lot by the way but isn’t able to cover everything.

    1. Susan Kokinda has given this report from Davos:
      “Davos SILENCED: The 3 Words That Terrified the Global Elite”
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEeaX8VaMc4

      Here she says
      “Their entire system depends on managing decline. And Donald Trump and his team just invited the world to abandon the Davos model. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik wasted no time in landing the first punch. We are in Davos at the World Economic Forum and the Trump administration and myself, we are here to make a very clear point. Globalization has failed the West and the United States of America. It’s a failed policy. It is what the WEF has stood for which is export offshore, farshore, find the cheapest labor in the world and the world is a better place for it.
      And then Donald Trump followed up a few hours ago saying that many parts of the world are being destroyed by the failed model of foreign jobs, mass migration, and green insanity.
      But if you listen to the mainstream media on both sides of the pond, you would think that Canada’s Mark Carney is the defender of all that is good and noble. Carney’s speech portrayed the stalwart Canadians and Europeans as the force which is now standing up to the great power hegemon like the United States which has wrecked their beautiful post-war order. But here’s what they didn’t mention while defending their rules-based order. Since 1989, this order has given us forever wars and regime changes that have killed millions. And it’s given the West a demographic collapse due to drugs, depopulation, and de-industrialization. And as for human rights, don’t forget that the native populations in both Greenland and Canada were targets of force sterilization campaigns carried out by their governments, who, by the way, are both monarchies. In Greenland, this included girls as young as 13.
      And here’s the final irony. Overlooking Davos this week was a massive display reading no kings. Now you have to laugh because as my friend Tom Lewango said, “If they meant it, they’d start freeing Greenland from the Danish monarchy.” But they don’t mean it. They never do.
      Because Carney and Van der Leyen aren’t selling democracy. Their speeches at Davos were the opening ad campaigns for globalism light, the same depopulation and de-industrialization agenda just put in a smaller box.”

      On a personal note, I had not heard about the forced sterilization in Greenland before but it turns out to be true.
      https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66990670

      https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/denmark-compensate-greenlandic-women-involuntary-birth-control-2025-12-10/

      https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/hundreds-of-greenlandic-women-and-girls-were-forcibly-given-contraception-between-1960-and-1991-report-says

      She also says Trump “is explicitly saying that large institutional investors should not buy single family homes. Think about the difference. Davos wants you renting a little 800 square ft apartment and owning nothing. Trump wants you owning a home and building inter-generational wealth.”

      “The Davos paradigm has always been about managing scarcity and reducing the population. And when people like Carney and Van der Leyen speak about a new Europe or new agreements, they don’t intend to change anything. They still see human beings as burdens on mother earth or canon fodder for a free trade system.
      The American system and Donald Trump look at a human being and they see a creator. President Trump wants to build a future where your children are wealthier than you are and more numerous.”

      I think she makes some valid points but I can never forget what Catherine says about Trump having pushed the jab.

      1. The Globalist Plan was laid out in 1974 within ‘Limits to Growth.’
        Their ‘Business As Usual’ (BAU) scenario tracked the World quite well up until 2015. After that we get into fear porn, but they haven’t shared their updated version of BAU with us.
        I’ll guess that Mr Lutnick is leaking BAU2 because the bits they need are already in place. That is my optimistic take on Davos.

      2. Multiple factions fighting. One wants global model (Carney) and one wants more resiliency of hard asset. Both take from the poor and give to the rich and are building the control grid while debating who will control it.

        1. I completely agree! We must keep our heads on straight and be concerned about our fellow man. I am saddened by so many that I know who do not understand what is going on. Most think I’m a little crazy when I share the truth. And those that act like they understand sadly continue to live without making changes or recognizing they are contributing to the control grid by not using cash. I just continue to pray for all of us!

      3. I don’t think Trump is hero that you are making him out be.

        The WEF several years back had as their main effort, reasoning trust. Right after, you Americans and other coming in to “shake things up”. Yet behind the scene it is the same old game.

        This shake up at Davos is coming out of – Davos.

        Anyone presenting you with news on how an administration who is helping commit a genocide are mavericks who represent the people is not really being straight with you. But their plans to regain your trust have obviously been working.

        1. I don’t disagree, but Trump is all on building the control grid, and Trump brought us mRNA.

        2. *should say regaining trust – not reasoning trust. Autocorrect is out to make me illiterate.

  2. The real reason they need to get Greenland now is so Trump can rename it Trumpland

    1. The Screen website describes the firm that uses our screen. There website provides information on their offerings, including their fund.

  3. 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.

    1. Oh how funny. My hairdresser in the Netherlands has been quite sick – the same long lived flue that seems to be going around – so I have had to do my own hair. This time could not get it out of my face. The bangs were highly accidental.

  4. 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/

    1. Yes, I agree. It is essentially the same thing I mean when I say that Trump is seeking greater resource self sufficiency

      1. As Michael Yon would say (recently on Coffee and a Mike with David Collum), it’s always about routes and resources.

      2. Ok. I think it is useful for people to explicitly be presented with the technocratic perspective, as Derrick laid it out in his article, in combination with the image of the map of the technate, because it is a good segway to waking them up to the fact that without their knowledge or consent a larger plan is being executed, which then crucially erodes their trust in government and the current rulers as puppets of Mister Global fundamentally further, further creating the base for mass non-compliance and a gateway to rejection of the technocratic system as a whole.

        That map of the technate is now finally increasingly being shown in outings of the true alternative media, like those from Gerald Celente, Redacted and Jimmy Dore. I feel the word about technocracy in general and the technocratic take-over needs to get out further fast and faster, because it is coming at the people at breakneck speed now, and that naming that perspective explicitly and showing that map is a very powerful tool to do so.

  5. 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

    1. What happened is the Iranians blocked Starlink. I am wondering if Europe has negotiated with the Chinese to access the system. Could be one of the reasons why Carney was sucking up to the Chinese hugely. If China can offer countries protection from American hybrid warfare, will trigger a major powershift.

  6. 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.
