The Solari Report – 22 Jan 2009

 

Michael Corleone: “My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.”
Kay Adams: “Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don’t have men killed.”
Michael Corleone: “Oh. Who’s being naive, Kay?”
— The Godfather, Part I

A true family is a group of people who invest in each other’s skills and future. Within such a family, no person is expendable.

Throughout history, financial wealth has been organized around families.  Many of the powerful institutions in our society, in fact, represent intergenerational pools of capital -– for example, the Bechtel Corporation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Glenmede Trust Company

If we are to build a strong economy, it will be made up of strong families. Either families in the traditional sense, or families that we create. Many of us are members of families that, like the Corleone family in The Godfather series, have been torn apart by the manipulation of our ambition, greed, and naivete by powerful financial and business interests. Husbands and wives are turned against one another. Children and parents disappoint each other and grow apart. Sibling rivalry threatens family interests.

Most of us assume that The Godfather films — Part I, Part II, Part III — are movies about an organized crime family.  The reality is that we all live inside The Godfather’s world. The Godfather series has much to teach us about navigating in our current environment:

  • The double-binds that families and businesses face in the real economy
  • The stresses that this places on marriages and children
  • How we can reduce the risk of being manipulated and turned against one another
  • The important role played by churches, foundations and tax-exempt organizations in controlling and managing intergenerational wealth
  • The interconnectedness of street crime to the board rooms of global corporations to the financial markets that trade their securities

In this week’s Solari Report our focus is on “Let’s Go to the Movies.” I have prepared a special report on how The Godfather series can help you understand the risks you and your family manage today and what this means to building real wealth in your household and business.

    Re possible mind control series. Serious subject. Head of Medicine in Finland, (similar position as our Surgeon General) stated mind control tech now greatest threat to democracy.

    Though now know was treated lightly as to what could have happened, my attack on the night of April 13th, 1984 following interrogation at Groton Sub Base unfortunately led to an attack on visiting Soviet mathematician, Sergi Koslov. He was the guy who ‘went nuts’ at Dullas. This was the only case ever, to my knowledge, where Soviets (through TASS), made open accusation about use of these technologies. (I do not count the Moscow micro flap.)

    Here is paper by McKinney, former Army Intel, regarding some of the technologies.

    They vary from good to not so good. As does the entire site.

    Okay……….., errrrrrrrr….., to the meat (lol),
    Catherine,
    there seems something even deeper when you referenced The Godfather. This is more to your ability not to see this as a simple ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ game. Once a ‘victim’ the tendency is to let the ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ game dominate. The sooner it is done with the better. Some never get out of that box. You did quickly….,
    Okay that is still more introduction to …, errrrrr…, ‘something’.
    Put another way:
    You seemed to ‘recovered’ and got past resentments in short time. You might consider a ‘handbook’ of this.

  2. M. Simon,

    Thanks for the Polywell boron fusion links. I watched the 90-minute Google video of Robert Bussard giving a presentation in front of Google employees in November 2006. For people reading this, Bussard was not some wacko freemenergy guy, he was a physicist who was an assistant director of the Atomic Energy Commission in the 1970s. The video is highly technical, but still a layperson(like me) can see another example of what’s wrong with barriers to quality scientific research in America even when we have the talent and money.

    Bussard explains that the mainstream research fails to acknowledge that their torus shaped designs and its physics look nothing like our daily example of working natural fusion:THE SUN.

    According to wikipedia, Bussard died in October 2007 at the age of 79. In the video, he said that his funding was cut off in year end 2005 when the Navy was told their R&D budget for alternative energy had to be cut by 26%. Bussard’s lab was under the Navy because he knew the DOE would not fund any alternative fusion research even though the mainstream fusion research had produced little over the last 30 years and $20 billion. The Navy allowed his team of less than a dozen scientists to do research for 11 years, and the research was so promising that the next stage would have been to build a much larger prototype. The Navy also proceeded not to fund a full protoype because the DOE would shut down the project since the DOE wants to maintain control of all fusion research even though they won’t fund any alternative research whatsoever.

    Personally, I have heard two examples from people I have known (one a humanities professor, the other a frustrated systems analyst) of either a friend they knew or himself creating a process that would at the least “fund his retirement” which were stopped by the Navy because of “national security concerns.” The Navy either stopped the research in both cases, and in one they bought the patents for a nominal fee and told the researcher that they would get more money when the Navy implemented the process in their own projects; instead, the Navy just sat on the technology. (Don’t know what the technology was specifically since anybody that the researcher had talked to about his home research project had to sign non-disclosure aggreements for national security).

  3. Back to the movies. I can’t stand the man’s politics, but get a copy of
    “The Shadow” starring Alec Baldwin. What it says about hiding in plain site
    can be applied in many other cases.
    Your writings about HUD have been very informative. We’ve been buried alive
    in it down here in Dekalb County, Georgia. Fires, foreclosures, refinance fraud,
    appraisal fraud. All in the multifamily sector.
    Crack hit Atlanta in 1985, and HUD’s home funds, Low income housing tax credits,
    section 8 vouchers and conversions seem to have gone a long way towards making sure
    that it got spread around the area. I don’t believe that this was in any way, shape, or
    form limited to just our metro area. Thanks for your work.

  4. U.N. crime chief says drug money flowed into banks

    Reuters

    Published: January 25, 2009

    VIENNA: The United Nations’ crime and drug watchdog has indications that money made in illicit drug trade has been used to keep banks afloat in the global financial crisis, its head was quoted as saying on Sunday.

    Vienna-based UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa said in an interview released by Austrian weekly Profil that drug money often became the only available capital when the crisis spiralled out of control last year.

    “In many instances, drug money is currently the only liquid investment capital,” Costa was quoted as saying by Profil. “In the second half of 2008, liquidity was the banking system’s main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor.”

    The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime had found evidence that “interbank loans were funded by money that originated from drug trade and other illegal activities,” Costa was quoted as saying. There were “signs that some banks were rescued in that way.”

    Profil said Costa declined to identify countries or banks which may have received drug money and gave no indication how much cash might be involved. He only said Austria was not on top of his list, Profil said.

    “We don’t need to make a movie out of the book,” “We are living it right now.”…..To quote David Kelley, the president of the Atlas Society, in reference to the plan to make “Atlas Shrugged” into a major motion picture.

  5. Catherine – there is a game changing technology on the horizon re: energy.

    Easy Low Cost No Radiation Fusion

    Rick Nebel Updates The Latest News

    It can be done in 5 years for about $200 million. The only backing it is getting is from the US Navy and the Navy has been starving it. ITER is all about putting off the day of cheap fusion for as long as possible and keeping the physics guys minds on something that is basically uneconomical. Obama’s Energy Secretary knows about this technology. We will see if he advances it or tries to keep it bottled up.

  6. Ok James isn’t in my Geneva Breeches bible because King James edited it. He thought it was too seditious and anti Catholic. Geneva Bible has “potent” interpretations on the sidelines and those in revelations point to the Pope as the anti-christ and ambassdor of Satan. It would be politically correct to say that he isn’t but here are some pieces to put together.
