1. Douglas:

   Apologies for the delay. I went to your site but could not figure out what link you were referring to. Can you send or post?

   Thanks!

   I can’t recommend a bank in Canada. I have not looked that them recently and generally don’t make specific recommendations except to clients whose profile I understand.

   Generally, Canada has a few big banks and some local credit unions and that is probably your potential selection.

   Here is a description of a process designed to help you find the right one:

   Good luck!

   A great heart warming story

4. Hi Catherine – last month in Lake County there was a public showing of Thrive followed by discussion. That may have been the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve watched Thrive and was excited to be ‘sharing’ it. One man, during the discussion, made a comment something like this: Thrive talks about the ‘right’ [re R & L in politics] and the necessity to make a smaller government; Gamble also expresses admiration for the Mises institute. Mises is the progenitor of our modern free market aka privatize wealth-socialize loss/cost and (the man concluded) he wondered if Thrive might be a “Trojan horse” letting in economic forces that wish to decimate the social safety net etc. Would appreciate your thoughts on this (and what do other subscribers think?).

   1. I see value in picking an issue and self determining what steps to take and Thrive has many issues and offers some actions. I really like Fosters’ focus on respecting private property. There is more risk in me taking no actions than in taking so many that a few wrong actions set us all back a step. If it rings true for me it may be a right action. I also like following what speaks to me, the topics or issues that draw me in.

5. John:

   I am a great fan of the Mises Institute. Don’t agree with the idea that Mises supports the central banking warfare model we are in. There is a difference between markets and organized crime. We need markets. We don’t need the black budget harvesting the planet and destroying markets.

   Will touch on this and THRIVE in the Solari Report this week.

6. Just read the link to the solar superstorm and planetary alignments. Interesting. Spacalert just put out a Code Red (http://mms.rice.edu/realtime/forecast.html) which means they’re predicting high solar magnetic activity in the coming days. This from the superstorm paper:

   “Conclusion: For April 22, 2012… Because of the trapezium (parallelogram) like configuration, the conjunctions, oppositions and the 3 Triple Line Ups… Large scale effects are possible on the Sun… One of these will happen: X flare, filament eruption or CME. But a powerful X flare combined with a big filament eruption(s) or big CME(s) is possible… This is one of the strangest Line Ups from the planets for the first half of the year….
   Will the effects be visible from Earth? That is a difficult question to answer… The Triple Line Ups with Neptune and Uranus end at the back from the Sun and are therefore not viewable from Earth… However, the positions from Venus and Mercury are on the Earth facing side of the Sun…The trapezium configuration looks perfect around April 25…”

7. Richard:

   Thanks!

   I keep looking for the basic introduction – “Space Weather for Dummies” – and what it has to do with trends in the Earth’s magnetic field.
