“My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.”
~ Abraham Lincoln
By Catherine Austin Fitts
As I listen to recent discussions and questions coming from our readers and subscribers, I am continuously reminded that we lack a clear picture of what is happening in America. So, I invited Dr. Joseph Farrell to join me to look at the deeper issues of what is happening in this country and what we can do about them.
What can we do to make America great again? And what can we do to restore our covenant with each other?
This conversation (three hours long). It covering our American–
- Cultural and Economic Models
- Basic Legal and Economic Issues
- Real Risks, and
- Actions To Take Next
Dr. Farrell and I discuss the history and importance of the US Constitution, why a new constitutional convention is a dreadful, dangerous idea, and the benefits of simply abiding with the current US Constitution.
A theme throughout our discussion is the extraordinary cost that has emerged from (1) the new and growing privileged class that was enabled by the 1947 National Security Act (and its secrecy), and (2) financed throughout by the national security state. Our discussion highlights the need for local financial transparency regarding the Federal Government finances, credit, and contracts.
Subscribers can find a detailed outline here and in the links area in this commentary.
In Let’s Go to the Movies, we’ll take a look at the 1993 political thriller The Pelican Brief about the assassination of two Supreme Court justices by a professional assassin working for powerful financial interests.

I think the perspective and insights of Professor Darrell Hamamoto of UC at Davis, would add to this discussion.
Yes. Excellent suggestion. I have posted one of his video interviews.
I had a thought while listening to this interview (and making great progress on my knitting :)).
It has to do with the idea of going “back” to values, or going “back” to anything. Humans, in my experience, are forward looking, forward moving (after all that’s where our eyes are, on the front).
How about the idea that it would be wonderful to gather up all those principles and truths and bring them forward with us, having them show up in a way that’s perfect for our context. After all, if they are so fundamental and have such a profound relationship with moral and spiritual truths as we know they do, they will accommodate us as we accommodate them. It’s the dance between our humanity and needs and their consistent virtue that creates the space for the culture that we want in our deepest hearts, I believe.
Now that is a terrific suggestion. Thank you!
Well, there IS NO PLACE for the, in theory, “sovereign” state… And there is someone greater than even Jefferson for us to follow… who died at age 34 and came in a female package… Her legacy is as unavoidable as miraculous. I PROMISE (AGAIN) to get you under her influence sooner than later.
The primacy of “the human person” is obliterated by the primacy of “sacred life” … you must read Ivan Illich’s history of how that came about… It’s all in In the Mirror of the Past.
Free municipalities organized biorregionally throughout the globe would be the death of the sovereign nation-state and the resurgence of “Covenant” as you say… . The model of citizenship we spouse is available at http://www.institutosimoneweil.net
Sylvia:
Not sure where to start….who are you referring to? Illich I know – but not sure what of his to look at,
Catherine
I always look forward to what you and Mr. Ferrell come up with when you spend time together…
I am reading ‘The Third Way’ and what he exposes in the Madrid Circular is jaw dropping when overlayed on the European Union’s history and what it is going thru presently. It seemed like a good idea at the time…
Did you see the movie ‘Millions’? Its a very sweet movie from a kids perspective with the backrop of Britains’ joining the Union. Which is just how we are treated. Like kids who won’t understand what is good for us.
On the transhumanism front though, I just came across an article that is another ‘ain’t it wonderful’ spin on human-to-machine interfaces: http://anonhq.com/official-can-now-upload-knowledge-directly-brain-video/
“Researchers from the Hughes Research Laboratories, based in California, have announced a way of speeding up leaning; similar to what was portrayed in the Matrix movie some 17 years ago.”
Hey, kids, just bypass that silly cognitive act of learning… just be able to do a thing, don’t think about WHY you want to do that something. (what a waste of time, all that mental torture of the ethics of any choice).
Kids again….don’t ask silly questions, you won’t get silly lies.
wow, that was a looooonnnngggg interview but one I’ll revisit over and over. Thank you so much.
Yes, it was way long. And deep. Back to the fundamentals. There is a reason I named my last company after Alexander Hamilton. 🙂
Actually, it is much worse – there is entrainment and mind control technology overlaid…
Very shocking …
“Even more disturbing, 99.5 per cent of our participants showed no awareness that they were viewing biased search rankings – in other words, that they were being manipulated. […]
We have also learned something very disturbing – that search engines are influencing far more than what people buy and whom they vote for. We now have evidence suggesting that on virtually all issues where people are initially undecided, search rankings are impacting almost every decision that people make. They are having an impact on the opinions, beliefs, attitudes and behaviours of internet users worldwide – entirely without people’s knowledge that this is occurring. This is happening with or without deliberate intervention by company officials; even so-called ‘organic’ search processes regularly generate search results that favour one point of view, and that in turn has the potential to tip the opinions of millions of people who are undecided on an issue. In one of our recent experiments, biased search results shifted people’s opinions about the value of fracking by 33.9 per cent.
Perhaps even more disturbing is that the handful of people who do show awareness that they are viewing biased search rankings shift even further in the predicted direction; simply knowing that a list is biased doesn’t necessarily protect you from SEME’s power.
Remember what the search algorithm is doing: in response to your query, it is selecting a handful of webpages from among the billions that are available, and it is ordering those webpages using secret criteria. Seconds later, the decision you make or the opinion you form – about the best toothpaste to use, whether fracking is safe, where you should go on your next vacation, who would make the best president, or whether global warming is real – is determined by that short list you are shown, even though you have no idea how the list was generated.”
