  1. The CBDC is a version of coal script. JIm Willie called it the Scheisse dollar years ago without knowing how it would actually manifest.

  2. Pharmageddon: AFGHANISTAN PRODUCES 90% of the world’s illegal opium, the tacky gum harvested from poppies that can be turned into heroin. In recent years Afghanistan’s opium business has grown larger than ever before. In 2020 poppies covered more than three times as much land as they did in 1997. Interesting how this corresponds with our occupation. I work with Veterans and a young Veteran told me he spent time guarding a poppy field. He didn’t understand why. He had serious PTSD, depression, anxiety, had lost buddies, and is now unable to work due to his mental health. A travesty. This ‘poppy’ side of Afghanistan is never in the news. Is anyone connecting the dots to Pharamgeddon?

    1. Yes, we covered a lot when we first went in – one of our goals was clearly to increase poppy production and run significant poppy production from there. This is one of the reasons I assume we are leaving corporate mercenaries in control – that and valuable natural resources. Joseph thinks it is likely they have moved some poppy production to Tasmania.

      1. https://archive.md/u2yxx

        “about half of the thousands of tonnes of poppies that are grown every year to make these pharmaceuticals are grown in our good ol’ Apple Isle, Tasmania. It’s a fascinating story, because it’s a trade that was allowed by regulators in the US – and some would say outright encouraged … US court cases have revealed that J&J developed a new type of poppy in the mid-1990s that maximised production of thebaine – a poison when ingested – but which made the production of oxycodone and hydrocodone far cheaper than before. Lobbied by the drug companies, US authorities eased once strict controls on pharmaceutical opioid imports and production. Farmers competed for prizes – including luxury cars – to produce the strongest poppies.”

  3. Also, Taiwan may not have 1100 acre land parcels around to be developed. Island living!

  4. Dear Catherine,

    My wife would like a subscription to this service as well. However she is Russian and would prefer it in Russian. Do you have a Russian version of all you do 🙂

  6. Immigration is a difficult prospect, in the early seventies my father immigrated to the United States of America not Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Tokyo, Taiwan, Egypt, Syria, or Jordan. I am becoming very Zealot for America. I am going to take everything I learn from Catherine and put it to good use and do some damage here. I am going to be more vocal and involved in the local and county boards let them hear some of Jon Rappaport words.

  7. You mentioned something about strange infrastructure happenings in this latest report. I recently had a conversation with my friend who has been welding for the Canadian oil and gas sector pretty much his entire adult life. He told me that shortly after the Health Crisis was declared, he and his co-workers got taken off the pipeline project and were sent to one hospital after another in western Canada to retrofit one ward at each location. As a welder, he worked on what he believes was the stainless steel oxygen delivery system, other trades worked on the boiler rooms and the HVAC systems. One ward in each hospital had been shut down in order for this to be done. Although he found it strange that hospitals would shut down wards during what was supposed to be an emergency, he said the strangest part of it was that each work day, there were security guards at every entrance to the ward in question, even in the bathrooms. He said there was more security in the empty wards than in the open part of the hospital… He’s now back welding on one of the big pipelines in the news, and he recently found out from his boss that the Canadian Government is in dialogue with the company in question to purchase the worker camps, of which there is one 800-1200 man camp every 100 kms from Kitimat to Vancouver, and from Edmonton to Vancouver. I’ll update if I get any more info.

Re: airline safety, a cardiologist-piloted Cessna crashed into residential homes in San Diego, killing a UPS driver who was days from retirement, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10088223/Moment-woman-rescued-home-San-Diego-plane-crash-UPS-driver-killed-named.html & https://twitter.com/richardstiller4/status/1448431008731131906 (includes security camera video of the plane flying *sideways* into the ground)

    Re: Snow-them, He’s a good reporter of previously-illegal behavior that is soon to be legalized, thanks to his publicity. The recent Facebook “whistleblower”, advance guard for upcoming Facebook-sponsored regulation of their competitors, follows in his footsteps. If Snowden is making comments related to Titus work, then someone may have identified a way to use a subset of those words to justify incoming legislation to increase unfair advantages for certain parties. One could parse Snowden’s writing to delineate what is included or omitted, to narrow down candidate topics for upcoming regulation.

    Re: Epstein, https://twitter.com/kirbysommers/status/1449580923951931396?s=21 & https://twitter.com/kirbysommers/status/1449587057412673538?s=21 claims that the current Sec. of State was a lifelong friend of Maxwell. I’m not familiar with the author, but a quick skim of her website (https://www.kirbysommers.com/) and interview venues suggests limited disclosure/hangout.

    Re: vax, a worrying CHD post about personalized vax, https://twitter.com/philly852/status/1436686242553507848?s=21

    2. I am watching the material you referenced right now. I have pulled up the first patent the Pfizer whistleblower mentions: US20210082583. I haven’t finished reading that yet, but I haven’t been able to confirm the WB claim that it is our previous shots which are helping to transmit the information which is the basis of the patent, only that our smart devices (through contact tracing apps and vaccine passports, I presume) plus a great deal of other information from outsides sources is how this patent will be utilized. In short, I think she is telling us good information regarding the tracing potential we are all facing, but I think she might be taking a huge leap to suggest that something in the current vaccine is part of the ‘linking up’, if you will. Please share your insights. I will continue to read!

  12. Not good:

    It gets worse – A comparison of official Government reports suggest the Fully Vaccinated are developing Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome much faster than anticipated
    By The Exposé on October 15, 2021 • ( 41 Comments )

    Latest UK PHE Vaccine Surveillance Report figures on Covid -19 cases show that doubly vaccinated 40-79 year olds have lost 44% of their immune system capability. Their immune systems are deteriorating at around 5% per week (between 3.8% and 9.1%).

    If this continues then 30-59 year olds will have zero Covid/viral defence (and perhaps a form of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) by Christmas and all double vaccinated people over 30 will have completely lost the part of their immune system that tackles Covid-19 by January next year.

  13. As a Texas resident, I sadly have to say that Governor Abbott’s recent mandate is essentially toothless. If you read the fine print, if a employer terminates you for not receiving the cow-poke, they are then punished with “no more than a $1,000 fine”. This is a joke as far as really having an effect monetarily on most employers and will have little actual effect.

  14. Interesting topic about Snowden. It seems he is trying to stay relevant via Twitter and Substack which is unprecedented, I think, which makes it odd.

    What I mean by that is, was Daniel Ellsburg still trying to comment and stay relevant? Maybe, but I do know when Assata Shakur had to escape to Cuba, she was done. There was no I will tweet comments back to the U.S. or write for an online newspaper about the fascist state, she was done, she chose exile and so did Snowden, he chose exile, but still wants to stay relevant and on Twitter? I have written to him on Twitter and he never responds and how could he? How does he know if he can trust who I am? So I really don’t get how he is doing things either.

    If I were him, I would want to stay off social media and why does Twitter even allow him an account when Senator Bighead, I mean, John Kerry has said that the minute he steps foot in the U.S., he will be prosecuted.

    Now that yall got me thinking about it, not sure if I want to continue following Ed on Twitter, it just makes no sense that someone so cautious is making comments on Twitter and now apparently writing articles based off of John Titus’ work.

  15. At 1:08, Taiwan Semiconductor’s future factory in Northern Phoenix is discussed, and this story is no surprise to me. I have on very good sources from Arizona researchers and activists (some of which I’ve forwarded to you, Catherine) that the prototype Agenda 21 City-State in the US will include AZ, NM, and the west half of Texas. Technocracy demands that 5G and AI proliferate in that zone, of course. And choosing to manufacture within the City-State itself seems logical.

  17. Dear Catherine, Is it possible for our community to hire legal defense against this coercion to get the jab or lose our jobs? My company stated that if we are not vaccinated by 12/1 we would be placed on unpaid leave. This cannot be legal. We have rights to say no to what goes into our bodies. This is happening at organizations all over the country. Please let me know if you have access to a legal team that can defend our rights to refuse this coercion and keep our jobs. Our community will support this fight. We can also do a go fund more for this. Many citizens will support it. My good friend, a high level electrical engineer for a government contracted company said they will lose their job if they are not vaxxed by the end of October, very short notice. Half of his company doesn’t’ want to get the jab. They can’t afford to lose half of the company. This is now urgent. They are pulling this on people and giving them no time. They feel pressured as they cannot afford to leave their jobs. Please advise. We have leverage, most companies cannot afford to lose a good chunk of their experienced workforce. That is our advantage we need to rally for. Isn’t it illegal to force us to take a vaccine in order to keep our job? I don’t care about not being able to eat at certain restaurants, but at the same time, that should not be legal as well, it will put many people out of business. We have to take a major stand and legal defense is necessary at this point. Some kind of class action lawsuit for the citizens of this country and of the world, this is a global violation of human rights.
    Please get back to me, we have no time to lose. The coercion and short notice is making people feel they have to get the jab or lose their income. It is now urgent that we use our leverage to push back and refuse this and we need the legal team behind us.
    Thank you for all you are doing. We must take immediate action or we lose all of our rights and become sheople.
    God bless,
    Jean

    1. Jean:

      I don’t believe it is legal. First, the EUA is not legal. Second, under an EUA, mandating is not legal, ridiculous DOJ opinion to the contrary. See the Arizona AG’s opinion. Not to mention this is not a vaccine. And DOL/OSHA has not produced a document claiming that it is. This is essentially a hoax – a bluff. But they are doing it. That said, you have to either do what the Southwest pilots and flight crews did, or persuade your company they can do what Intel is doing or take the company to court and win in court. Which means you need a smart courageous judge. They are out there.

      Check out the full Southwest story – links in NTS.

      And demand the company lay out how they are achieving informed consent (they can’t because of mysterious ingredients) and what there provisions are for health, disability and life insurance if you are disabled and killed.
      Demand to see their governmental law, rule or order – cause they have none.

      Anyway, I am with you, they have no law on their site. But they are being bullied and the question is whether you can bully back the way that the Southwest airlines crew did.

      Good luck!

      Catherine

          1. Thank you Catherine, we need get this information out on every front. Everyone should put it on Social media, youtube, and everything else, because it will keep getting censored and we need to keep posting it and letting people know we have a platform.

          2. Any updates on the response to the attorney generals letter to Biden? This administration seems to ignore things thinking they will go away…….

          3. Not sure what the AG’s can do if the Administration has not published the OSHA Rule. It is still a hoax.

  18. You talk about the decision which persons are being forced to make between taking the experimental gene therapy(with all of its attendant consequences) and feeding their families.

    There is another equally as inhumane a decision which is being forced on us. Transplants are being denied, and in the case below at The Cleveland Clinic (Ohio), it is not because the recipient isn’t “vaccinated,” but because the donor is not. No one should EVER be placed in such a position.

    https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/local-news/oh-lake/eastlake-mans-kidney-transplant-put-on-hold-due-to-cleveland-clinics-new-vaccination-policy

    Unfortunately, those folks not willing to comply are not being viewed as heroes, but as selfish, uncooperative, and harmful.

    All of this is so, so wrong.

    1. This is dirtball politics. This is 70 years of not pushing back against organized crime. How they have amassed significant power. So we have to decide between freedom or death. If enough choose freedom, we stay free and most of us live. If we stay afraid, we descend into slavery.

  19. What to do Katherine? I am 55 years old man living in the dc metropolitan area and happen to be a 27 yr employee of the federal Govt. I currently find myself backed in a corner fighting for my life against this mandate and filed a request for religious exemption and waiting for a decision. Mean while my 18 year old daughter who is taking six classes in this fall semester at the local junior college and has just a month to complete just received a letter from the college administration to show proof of vaccination by October 21. The notice explained that failure to meet this mandate will result in her losing her registration for classes time effort and money. My daughter filed for a religious exemption by email and currently waiting a decision. I am also perfecting a request for a health consent acknowledgement form for this college to be filed either concurrently or after the decision is made. There decision will leave us looking for other ways for her to pursue her economi/financial/business degree. This cannot happen at a worse time in my life and currently 3 years away from full retirement at this stage I am willing to take a loss and take early retirement with penalty if I can make it alive till next March. Any suggestions from you is greatly appreciated. God bless you for what you and your colleagues do to wake the masses.

    1. I look forward to Catherine’s answer, what Dr. Gary Null has recommended and I would have to agree is…leave, move. What is the point of being surrounded by people and institutions that lack integrity? And living in the Washington, DC area, that’s exactly the situation you are in.

      Solari is full of subscribers like myself, who left some sort of Soprano State and I personally left THE Soprano State for a liberty loving part of the United States because when corruption exists where you live even at the judiciary level, that’s a battle you are not going to win unless you are very wealthy and influential.

      I would say to anyone who is currently living in the DC area, California, New York, New Jersey, even Pennsylvania at this point…get out of harms way, move!

      Vote with your feet, starve that beast. Let them figure out how they are going to generate revenue with a dwindling tax base because the majority of the tax donkeys left.

      1. What do you think of the toothless Texas mandate against vaxes? https://home.solari.com/money-markets-report-october-14-2021/#comment-25131

        Or that West Texas could be home of the first USA Smart Gulag, which will require enabling state legislation for brain-machine interfaces and 7×24 surveillance? https://home.solari.com/money-markets-report-october-14-2021/#comment-25116

        The migration of tech companies from CA to TX is not an accident, nor is the location of Elon Musk’s tech initiatives, including Starbase space city and a proposed HyperLoop in Austin. If there’s going to be a Smart Gulag which spans TX, NM and AZ, it will need many many engineers to troubleshoot and maintain the Corporate City, https://subscriber-input.solari.com/forums/topic/the-15-minute-city-a-k-a-smart-gulag-and-food-supply-chains/

    2. I would do everything you can do to get early retirement short of taking the jab. My guess is you should be able to run out, all though it may take getting an attorney. \
      Under no circumstances let your daughter take the shot. If they seize her money, sue.

    1. Wall Street is licking their chops over this one. Just saw Larry Fink opine on this yesterday.

  22. BTW various documents, in the fine print :
    fully vaccinated = 14 days after second vaccination or 3rd vaccination and later.

  23. Have you looked into the possibility of a massive amount of underground military bases both in the US and around the world? Could this be where all the money is disappearing to year after year?

    2. Yes. Big use of money. Check out our interview with Richard Dolan on Underground Bases. I just finished a project reviewing all known reports of underground bases in the US. I believe it is a very significant operation of both bases and underground transportation networks.

  24. Thanks for the jolly pushback news. I went to see what Southwest was saying.., and there on nbcdfw.com was a report that a judge told United not to put unv’d on leave, and then “Harvard Endowment over 53$ Billion” Is that a good guess?

  25. Hi Catherine,

    You mentioned in the Ask Catherine Q & A that Cody Wilson is dead. I know they tried to destroy his name and turn him into a convict on some assault charge or something. Do you have some documentation regarding this heart attack claim? I have looked online and I do not see anything about Cody Wilson dying of a heart attack.

    1. Just checking. Looks like what I got may have been disinformation. Thanks. Good news. Will keep digging.

  26. Hi Catherine:

    The money and markets report is not working? I love your website!
    Thanks for the amazing education I am finally getting and the TRUTH:)

  27. The #1 design choice in the Oct 14th G7 CBDC document is “data privacy”, https://subscriber-input.solari.com/forums/topic/cbdc-messaging-and-trial-balloons/#post-168636

    “Which entities in a CBDC ecosystem will have access to what data for what purpose? Relevant considerations: Determining the level of access to information for specific purposes is not a new debate – and indeed is something existing payment systems have to manage. Access to and use of data is core to the function of all electronic payments, including CBDC.”

    I’m beginning to think the most important legislation needed for CBDCs is access to DATA.

    Can we find a way to mandate algorithmic policy on corporate access to individual data, instead of corporations enforcing algorithmic policy on individual human behavior? The technological mechanisms would be comparable, if not easier (less corporations than humans).

    1. All data are available, regardless of what the law is saying. Governments are fighting against encryption, anonymity, even google will block your email if you send encrypted zip for example..
      There are countries where you cannot have front fence over 5ft tall. Not sure if curtains are allowed.

      To have crypto money non traceable there should be a way to login with encrypted password; different each time. The bitcoin wallet ID is fixed. it can be linked to you easy. If you have your phone with you, government can know which table you use at restaurant and who is with you.

      Not only there is no plan to have data protection, but CBDC will be linked to your ID. Maybe even to your DNA. Green pass.

      In UK, government is recommending women to wear body camera to be safe. They are not allowed to talk about the reason why women are not safe on the street.

    1. it was worth it as a milestone of mankind’s achievement, to prove a human can go to space on a chemical fuel rocket and return safely to earth via a capsule strapped to a parachute.

      up next laika the dog will prove that pets can go to space too!

    2. Hilarious! They all acted like it was a big deal to go to space. We have done it for decades. Being there done that.

    3. I am waiting for scientists to clarify the problem. Will we have new Ice age like they claimed in the 70s, or will there be global warming or just climate change? And to be sure that their model is working, what will be the temperature in 23 Feb next year?

      400 year solar cycle peaked in 2008.

    1. Have no idea if this is simply an option waiting in the wings or likely. I suspect it is simply an option waiting in the wings for now.

  32. What comes next

    The subject of President Joe Biden’s mental incapacity is no longer at issue. Is there a historical precedent for this incredible dereliction of duty due to mental decline? Indeed, there is. We need look no farther than the decline of Woodrow Wilson, himself a deeply committed socialist, who went into rapid decline, following his easy manipulation by banking interests that brought about the First World War. Many are aware of the improbable man behind the throne, so-called “Colonel” House. Today, many suspect that Barack Obama plays a similar role with his hand deep inside the hollow body of the puppet Biden. To see how closely today’s events parallel those of 100 years ago, I quote Eustace Mullins, whose work Secrets of the Federal Reserve is telling:

    “Wilson, who seems to have lived in a world of fantasy, was shocked when American citizens booed him during his campaign to have them sign over their hard won independence and what appeared to many to be an international dictatorship He promptly went into a depression and retired to his bedroom his wife immediately shut the White House doors against Colonel House and from September 25th 1919 to April 13th 1920 she ruled the United States with the aid of an intimate friend, her “military aide”, Col. Rixey Smith as everyone was shut out of their deliberations, no one ever knew which of the pair functioned as a president and which was the vice president…

    The admirers of Woodrow Wilson were led for decades by Bernard Baruch who stated that Woodrow Wilson was the greatest man he ever knew. Wilson’s appointments to the Federal Reserve Board and that body’s responsibility for financing the First World War, as well as Wilson’s handing over the United States to the immigrant triumvirate during the war, made him appear to be the most important single effector of ruin in American history…

    It is no wonder that after his abortive trip to Europe, where he was hissed and jeered in the streets by the French people, and snickered at in the halls of Versailles by Orlando and Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson returned home to take to his bed. The site of the destruction and death in Europe, for which he was directly responsible, was perhaps more of a shock than he could bear. The Italian minister Pentaleoni expressed the feelings of the European people when he wrote that: ‘Woodrow Wilson is a type of pecksniff who was now disappeared among universal execration’…

    It is America’s misfortune that our subsidized press and educational systems have been devoted to and shrining a man who colluded and causing so much death and sorrow throughout the world.” –Mullins, pp 113-4

    There was an Agricultural Depression in 1920-21 following a period of plenty in this industry during the war. Again, Mullins:

    “… The Federal Reserve system set up the Depression, first by causing inflation, and then raising the discount rate and making money dear… First of all, a federal farm loan board was set up which encouraged the farmers to invest their accrued money in land on long-term loans, which the farmers were eager to do. Then inflation was allowed to take its course in this country and end Europe in 1919 and 1920. The purpose of the inflation in Europe was to cancel out a large portion of the war debts owed by the Allies to the American people, and its purpose in this country was to draw in the excess moneys which had been distributed to the working people in the form of higher wages and bonuses for production. As prices went higher and higher, the money which the workers had accumulated became worth less and less, inflicting upon them and unfair drain, while the property classes were enriched by the inflation because of the enormous increase in the value of land and manufactured goods. The workers were thus effectively impoverished, but the farmers who were as a class more thrifty, and who were more self-sufficient, had to be handled more harshly…[the bankers succeeded in contracting] credit which had the effect the next year of reducing the national income 15 billion dollars, throwing millions of people out of employment, and reducing the value of lands and ranches by 20 billion dollars…”–Mullins, pp 115-6

    Thus, the playbook of these selfsame banking interests may be anticipated today. In those days, farming and agriculture were the largest employers. Much has changed since then, but putting a vast proportion of today’s working age people out of work has already happened. Their reserves will be strained, and their investments diminished. If history holds the guiding model, then we will have inflation, which we have already seen, and then deflation.

    Read your history.

    1. Thank you John for the history lesson; I love history but just don’t read it enough. The MSM and news speak of the ridiculousness of Biden and all his bungling and incompetence, but is it possible that this is all purposefully planned? A replay on a global level?
      How do you think this playbook plays out with this all being so global? With so many of our public servants and health and education professionals refusing jabs and being fired, it seems our country is being forced to collapse….and then will all the illegal immigrants be trained to take the jobs of our military, education, teachers, public servants and medical personnel? (as is happening now in NY hospitals)… a forced population change with those who are not independent thinkers and are more compliant/slaves?

      1. It is genuinely difficult to say exactly how this will play out in a practical manner for citizens of the United States. The amount of institutional destruction that has taken place under the Biden administration is nothing if not breathtaking. This leaves us without any firm place to stand or grab as we hurtle like a drunken failure of a sailor into the abyss. If things go slowly enough, there should be time to be in the normal appreciating assets realm to stay paced with inflation. Following that, cash is generally going to be your best bet for deflation, which is historically sudden and devastating. Debt will be ruinous.

        It does seem that all of our reliable institutions are collapsing, including production of durable goods and services, the military, the police, and transportation. Is a good sign that some of the airlines and unions are rejecting vaccine mandates, not necessarily on the basis of medical inclinations, but on the basis of autonomy. Still, it’s very dicey right now, and will continue to be, unless the Democrats are soundly trounced in 2022. If that happens, we buy some more time. The work will not be over until there is no more deep state that can call itself that.

        I do not personally believe that China is the juggernaut that the fake news likes to present. I think that the Chinese have been screwed by their own government openly, and while proud of their heritage, they are not particularly enamored of the CCP. Look for a sequels to Tianamen square. There, and here.

  33. “The Brutality of the Commonwealth Lockdowns”.

    I would table the following as a potentional ‘reason’ for the nature of the lockdowns in Aus / NZ.

    Given the proximity of Cop26, I woonder if the down under folks are being softened up for the following as articulated in the FT.

    https://archive.vn/fWcV4/again?url=https://www.ft.com/content/415f4a8c-cab4-4f95-99aa-b347bb510365

    ” Sinking South Pacific islands will need to be abandoned for Australia and New Zealand, which will in effect become their protectorates within a collective Oceania rather than meaningful sovereigns”.

    This would fit in with the globalist move with the Agenda 2030 Ocean Takeover.

    Makes sense ?

    FWIW I agree with the analysis of Niccolo Soldo on the viability of such a proposal

    ‘“Demographic Replenishment” as a euphemism for replacing locals, which, by the way, is a conspiracy theory.

    Laughing is easy, but it is to be done with one eye open, because these people are dead serious.’

    1. Very Mr. Global-esque:

      “Many scholars ask: what lies beyond sovereignty? If we are wise, the answer will be “programmable geography” — recoding places based on their changing roles in our fluid global system. “

    mRNA Vaccines section well worth a read

  35. Truthstream Media’s Aaron & Melissa Dykes (The Minds of Men) just dropped the first two episodes of their long awaited documentary!!!

    Two episodes are scheduled to emerge per week on Fridays in this limited series.**

    Research and documentary duo Aaron & Melissa Dykes turn their focus to an intricate and long-winding path that connects the foundations of modern society with the rise of central banks – as the insipid but immensely influential policies of money issuance weave together the shadowy sinews of history’s most pivotal events.

    From colonial expansion, to the creation of the Federal Reserve, up to our volatile age of cryptocurrency and digital authorization, the contentious battleground of finance has pitted presidents and congressional representatives alike against the unmovable power of lenders and moneymakers, who’ve worked to tip the scales towards centralized authority at the expense of individual sovereignty.

    Attempting a greater context, ‘The Trust Game’ is a 10-part, over 10-hour series aiming to sharpen global events spinning blurry in the rapid stages of development. Major changes have occurred; major changes are underway. Yet some things remain surprisingly the same – this is a system dependent upon confidence, belief, and ultimately… trust.

    **Two episodes are scheduled to emerge per week on Fridays in this limited series. The filmmakers and the life of this project depend exclusively on the currency of your support, patronage and exchange of ideas. Thank you for that. Please share if it is valuable to you: vimeo.com/ondemand/trustgame **

      1. There’s even a special shout out to you Catherine & Solari! Very good episode…can’t wait till the next one drops next Friday. All their hard work paid off & the movie was well worth the wait!

  36. Catherine,

    There is one particular good that we all need that usually costs no less than $600: a firearm. Could the IRS technically create a “gun registry” without the ATF by tracking purchases like this?

    1. I know you asked this of Catherine, but if I may, I think I can speak to this.

      So, the answer to your question is a bit complex because there are many levels here to consider.

      So can the ATF look the other way and pretend they do not see the IRS secretly creating an illegal “gun registry”, because keep in mind, if they successfully make it legal to monitor your bank account, that still does not make it legal to have a secret “gun registry” and yes it would have to be secret because it would be illegal. The assumption here may be that the ATF has a gun registry, not in the way you think. They track serial numbers, not people, they already got those serial numbers from the gun manufacturers, all they do is get an update to that serial number later on of…sold. I am oversimplifying because I do not have direct experience processing paperwork at the ATF.

      Yes you may have filled out Form 4473 and I certainly have dozens of time, I can fill the form out with my eyes closed, but again they legally do not keep your name, address, etcetera as far as I know, they are tracking the firearms not you, the ATF that is.

      At the point where a crime is committed with a firearm, then they have to get granular with the tracking using the serial number, otherwise there is no legal reason the ATF should have your personal information just because you purchased a firearm.

      At the end of the day, if you are looking to somehow purchase a firearm that the federal government cannot track back to you, you really need to know the laws and politics of your state and if it allows for it, probably purchase a firearm in cash (a private sale) from a family member or neighbor.

      You can also purchase it cash from an FFL, but you might still be concerned about that Form 4473 that you will need to fill out.

      Your third option is you can buy one of those pricey 1911 kits that have existed for decades that now all of a sudden are referred to in the media as “ghost gun”, but we will be educated consumers here and not use that term. It’s just a kit with all the parts to build a 1911 plus an unfinished lower receiver. I cannot stress that last piece enough. The only way you can legally purchase an unserialized lower receiver, is if it’s unfinished. That means you need someone with machine shop/gun-smithing skills to finish it so you can then put all the parts together.

      I hope that helped and I am looking forward to Catherine’s answer.
