At Solari, the invention room is a place in our imagination where we go to collaborate on creating and developing great ideas.  There are several protocols that apply in the invention room.

1. We stay in the positive. There is no such thing as a bad or stupid idea. If an idea does not strike us as particularly useful, we say that there are other ideas that are more “wonderful.” We also take personal responsibility to support and given energy as possible to the people in the invention room with us.

2. We avoid decisions. The invention room is for expansion, communication and invention. We don’t contract into decisions in the invention room. For that, we leave the invention room and go to a decision room.

3. No time consequences to the participants. Just because you have an idea, does not mean that you can be held responsible to implement it or anything else that would require your time.  Your having an idea in no way commits you to anything that would use your time.

We have been getting more and more communications from our readers with lots of ideas on how to make our world a better place to live. We thought we would create an invention room here on the blog as a way for you to post these ideas.

I would like to add another protocol for this particular invention room..

4. We encourage you to promote ideas which you believe you or yours can implement on a financially sound and attractive way. We think there is nothing more powerful than useful ideas that can create income for the entreprenuers who implement them as well as create income and jobs for others.  So if you think what you do can help our readers, please feel free to say so and post links. If we disagree, we reserve the right to not approve your post.

If you have ideas or comments that you would like to reach the Solari community, please place them as a comment to this post.

Thanks!

Catherine and the Solari Team

  1. I noticed that my bank, USAA, was not on the “Tapeworm 20” list. Do you know where USAA is on the spectrum of good banks vs. bad banks? Also I have seen a few websites claiming to be able to help individuals receive ‘forgiveness’ from their unsecured debt because of the way banks turn promissory notes into cash assets (http://debt-forgiveness.us/index.html). I’m wondering if you have heard of this.

    Thank you.

  2. Attention: Catherine Austin Fitts

    Greetings.
    I began building a place for the American people to research and address the issues facing our great land. It started because I found myself funneled down into one of those back against the wall moments, a saga which I will spare you the details of, suffice it to say that my options narrowed considerably, but my spirit grew exponentially.

    I know you must be busy, short and sweet I’ve been without steady employment since March and after 2 months of steady pursuit of jobs in my area, (no one pays relocation fees for work anymore it seems) about the second week or so in May I was putting together an electronic skills portfolio and had the TV on and heard Sen. McCain talking about open government, more debate, weekly press corps meetings and townhalls on the Internet…Then an Idea washed over me – what the hell, no prospects…I have some skills, maybe I will build a place like that, a place where people can be informed and research the issues and also educate themselves about the issues, but also provide vetted resources that span the private sector, public sector, government and academia. Collect it and provide blogs and eventually (when funds allow) the ability to live chat and or webmeet.

    Building it I envisioned people logging on – then as I was putting together the main states page portal It dawned on me that each state could have issue specific concerns addressed and rather than go on…briefly…the Main States Portal took on a life of its own, as a tool of learning and discovery, about current issues, resources yes, but to learn about our Heritage and history too and I even worked in some recess activities.

    I have the entire site built, that is all the pages and nav is complete offline – I have posted portions that are complete, the supporting architecture if you will, and now am working round the clock day after day to finish linking and researching the main issue pages and the 50 states individual pages. Given the excitement over Gov. Palin I am uploading the Alaska page in a few days and you can click to it – it is representative of all the states pages in layout, only info of course will differ. I was gonna send a pdf of a states page but it’s better to put it up live.

    I will put the links below – I am working very hard to finish it all up and not much to go – but if you review what is here you might see what I mean…I parsed direct links with a blurb on each for you to peruse.

    Splash Page: http://www.americanbraintrust.com/ (It’s a flag and there are fireworks so don’t be startled, I may scrap this page with the full upload)

    Home page: http://www.americanbraintrust.com/American%20Braintrust4th.htm (The actual homepage is complete and linked, this one is a working model)

    Economy Main Issue page: http://www.americanbraintrust.com/Economy.htm
    Economy Blog: http://americanbraintrust.wordpress.com/economy/ (all the blogs are done and ready)

    Main States Portal: http://www.americanbraintrust.com/Americanbraintruststatesp1.htm (Read Webmaster note in Green Box) (this I think is fun way for kids of all ages and adults to learn and discover)

    So Why did I write you? Other than taking a shot…

    I heard you on Coast tonight, you said there is nothing wrong with making money on solutions, well, in part that is why I am writing you – I mean, I am smart and can conceptualize and design and am very left and right brain…what I lack is the how to turn a profit gene. As you can imagine I am immersed in completing this and am but a few weeks of intense work and research away. But then what? So if you are still reading this, and after you click through what’s uploaded thus far, if you think I am on to something here, how about helping me out, shore up the weakness, the what to do with it next part. I need help. I also think that this could be the answer in a way to what you said at the end of your call with C2C, because if We The People just open our eyes and gather together and collectively look at the problems…I mean, safety in numbers, no? It’s late this is probably sounding loopy. Must be the back spasms or the crick in my neck…better call it a night.

    PS I have ideas for modules also – I won’t elaborate beyond this – they can be designed and implemented on each and every member of congress’s websites – all 535 – the “sunshine modules” would be mandated somehow and required to look exactly the same so they are easily used (universal) and identified by the folks in the 50, no matter which, and they would be an easy way for any John or Jane Q. Citizen to log on and see in real time where the dollars are and what the votes are, and what votes for what bills or appropriations translate into tax payer dollars. Does that make sense? I have it all spelled out in detail and will post it on Braintrust with the final upload of the entire site. I hope it’s ok to write.

    Thanks for your time,

  4. To Fix Unfair Mortgages Crisis — Ballpark Suggestion

    As the Chinese saying goes: “Interesting times”!
    As a Tibetan lama said: “Confusion creates space, an opportunity to make things happen.”

    What I hear being tossed around in today’s media for solutions to fix the “biggest financial crisis since 1929″ is “sell some of our gold reserves,” “borrow a trillion or so from foreigners,” increase taxes on the people [but not the rich]”, etc. Let’s turn this approach on it’s head.

    Put all of the offending corporations/persons assets in trust with the American people at the top of the list(s).
    a) Forgive all unfair mortgages and give complete titles to the home owners.
    b) Make sure pension funds are not raided.
    c) Etc.
    d) Let the offending corporations collapse making sure to protect the assets of the people as suggested in a) and b)
    This would make corporations think twice about doing this again (yeah, right!). It would not burden future generations. It would release a tremendous economic stimulus which would benefit the Nation. Etc.

    I am not an economist, so I’m sure the above-approach would not be straight forward. But I like the tenor of truly benefitting the people and the Nation for a change rather than bailing out the rascals again.

    “Crash is in September.”
    yup
    and the negative news that will move the market downward should occur
    Sept 15
    this organization below.. runs the show
    http://www.legatus.org/public/index.asp
    the money laundering occurs just prior to the pilgrimage to rome and
    the checks are written during the pilgrimage and the checks clear by
    September 14 and the negative news leaks out (something along the
    lines of “insider trading on a mass scale at a major brokerage) then
    they start crossing the “t”s and dotting the “i”s on Sarbanes-Oxley II
    SOX II will certainly protect the working class’ nest-eggs fur sure!
    http://finance.google.com/group/google.finance.983582/browse_thread/thread/aad550b590f931bf Scroll through and read reinhardt’s posts. He is now banned from Google Groups. SAVE HIS POSTS before Google deletes them! http://finance.google.com/group/google.finance.983582/browse_thread/thread/aad550b590f931bf

    Catherine and George, I’m sure you can decipher what he talking about. I can’t. It’s over my head in the conpsiracy department. Any synopsis would be greatly appreciated!

  6. This was my second email (edited) re: the poster called “reinhardt”:

    *********
    I forgot to include the link where this info came from. May contain some helpful info. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message607789/pg1

    Why was reinhardt banned from Google Groups? It sounds to me like this man is implicating the Vatican in looting America through coprporations such as Enron, Tyco, etc, and through banks. Wasn’t the Vatican Bank involeved with BCCI? Remember the P2 Lodge and the guy who was hanged from a bridge, in London, with a brick in his pocket? This is an area of conspiracy/para-politics that I am not very familiar with, though I know there are many sites dedicated to the role of Rome as the hidden hand behind other players, such as The City of London. Anyone who can add some clarification to this, please post your comments to the thread at Godlike Productions (first thread linked, above).

    I’m barely smart enough to read your blog, Catherine, lol. I try to keep up and am very interested, though. I need a flow chart!
