  1. Hello All-

    I’ve come across a couple of items that have caused me to perk up my spidey senses and I’m folks on this forum are willing to weigh in.

    In a WebBotForum.com interview, Thrive Producers Foster and Kimberly Gamble said they’ve been in contact with portions of the Elite who are interested in changing the system paradigm. While I don’t recall the exact quote, Kimberly said she’s interested in filming interviews with these people and posting them on YouTube.

    In a CMN.tv piece posted today, a kind of spokesperson for the Elite discusses an upcoming plan for a new global currency that will give the “little people” more power. I’m unfamiliar with the spokesperson, James Martinez, but a Google on him says he’s a radio host with a financial / spiritual bent.

    Here’s the link: http://www.cmn.tv/news/new-world-currency/

    Who was the banker or politician who used the term “little people”…a few years ago?

    The “Mr. X offers a bailout to the British Parliament” clip from the Solari site a few months back also comes to mind.

    Catherine or anyone else care to weigh in?

    1. CMN also released a subscription interview with Martinez where he discusses imminent use of cold fusion.

  2. Suppose David Wilcock is correct, that there are Millions of tons of mined gold on Earth, and it is not a rare commodity after all? If he’s right about this, and what actually happened in the last century, that would have Huge financial implications to us and to precious metals.

    Catherine, you have so much experience and are so astute and intuitive, would you please give your take on Wilcock’s allegations? I am also interested in what you think about the source documents and lawsuit he cites. Anyone else is welcome to kindly weigh in as well.

    Admittedly, Wilcock has a dramatic style but after having read, so far, half of his “Source Field Investigations” book, I find him brilliant 95% of the time, and thorough in his research. And this story is about finances and it affects all of us. A case involving 134 billion dollars in US bonds seized at the Italian border in 2009 didn’t just go away, and its only a small part of a much larger picture. Wilcock cites legal documents and presents a compelling case that “a lawsuit has been filed in the Southern District Court of New York, naming the United Nations, World Economic Forum, the Italian Republic and the Italian Financial Police as defendants — among others. This lawsuit is one visible manifestation of an international, 122-nation campaign that is actively bringing down the “Old World Order.” and the financing of the tapeworm..

    Immediately after receiving deaths on Dec 14, he was tearful on Project Camelot, and gives a 20-minute historical synopsis of what he knew at that time, starting about 10 minutes in, here:

  4. Now for a comment or opinion on this very interesting Q&A with Webster Tarpley on Ron Paul. Definitely worth a listen.

    http://tarpley.net/2011/12/28/critique-of-ron-pauls-austerity-plan/

    Thoughts?

    Hello Janet and all, I listened to this interview and it found it very troubling as I had thought that Ron Paul was the “least bad” candidate running, primarily because of his anti-war policies. Some snips from the interview:

    “I think it is fair to say that Ron Paul’s economic policy is an immediate deflationary crash. And the more severe the better. Everything should crash down and then in this orgy of creative destruction – then there will be a recovery. And of course, the problem with that is what if you starve to death in the meantime. To fight a depression for the Austrian School is a contradiction in terms – you can’t do that, you have to let the depression wash over you, play itself out and then there will be a recovery.

    “If you ask where are the empirical examples historically of letting a depression burn itself out, they can’t give you any.”

    I think this is a dangerous policy that will cause much human suffering and death. Our privately owned interest-debt based money system is inherently deflationary as all money is created as debt, and as the principal on that debt is repaid, the money is destroyed. Every day money is destroyed and unless new money, through new debt is created, the money supply will contract. If the money supply contracts, many will be unable to repay their debt.

    We can deduce two fundamental axioms of the system; first, there will always be more debt than money since interest is charged but not created in the debt process. Second, the debt cannot be fully repaid as a mathematical certainty since P+I > P (where P=Principal and I=Interest). It seems that Ron Paul would allow the defaults to take place in order to “reset” the economy. Yes, this will probably work, but will Dr. Paul’s prescription kill the patient?

    If massive defaults are allowed to take place through contraction, the pledged collateral will be available at a penny on the dollar to those lucky enough to survive financially. In this respect, a deflationary crash may be desirable for some. Today, the government is acting as the borrower of last resort in taking up the slack in the reduction of private sector borrowing. If government greatly reduces borrowing, as Ron Paul suggests, the economy will contract and a severe depression will occur.

    “I would suggest that we take a look now at the most detailed policy paper that he has put out for this election cycle, which is his “Restore America Program”… He starts off with a plan to cut-off $1 trillion out of the U.S. Federal Budget in one year and I stress one year…think of $1 trillion dollars, that’s one thousand billion… and bring the budget into balance within four years. That is the most radical austerity plan of any candidate with a 27% reduction in spending.”

    Where do these spending cuts occur?

    – 15% reduction in the Pentagon, so the Pentagon is asked to give up about half of what the federal budget as a whole is being asked to give up.

    – Child nutrition, programs like Wick for infants and children… Ron Paul would cut 1/3 of that program, 33%.

    – S-Chip, the state run child health insurance program… 44% cut.

    – Medicaid (health care run by the states for poor people)… 35% cut. The other thing that Medicaid does is it protects the property of the middle class in the age of Alzheimer. (if one contracts Alzheimers, the care is very expensive and many are wiped out financially but their families are protected as they continue to receive care through Medicaid. Without such a program, would sons and daughters also be wiped out in trying to help their parents with the expensive care that they need.

    – Food Stamps; 50 million Americans live on food stamps… 63% cut.

    My personal opinion is that the defense budget must be slashed, black budgets eliminated and the Pentagon theft must be stopped if we are to have any hope of preventing a financial collapse.

    The other problem that I have with Ron Paul, and Austrian economists in general, is that they oppose government regulations even though they are badly needed. In the last few decades, regulations on the biggest banks have been systematically eliminated, unleashing them to prey on the people and the commercial banking community. For example, in 1999, the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 was repealed. Glass-Steagall effectively separated the activities of commercial and investment banking. The results have been terrible.

  5. Dear Catherine:

    What happened to MF Global customers has made many people in the financial world change their position on investing in precious metals through bullion banks and storage vaults. Do you still believe investing in physical metal through Gold Money is an extremely safe option for the long term?

    Thanks,
    Stacey

  6. Dear Catherine,

    I’ve been a listener for approximately three years. I wait with baited breath each week for your talks.On a personal note, I found last week’s interview with Jon Rappoport to be one of your most pertinent. As always, I thank you.

    Allison

  7. Allison:

    Thanks so much for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I am delighted that Jon’s interview was so valuable! The transcript is up if you want to review again….

    Catherine
