“…with an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.“
~ William Wordsworth
By Catherine Austin Fitts
Happy New Year!
On Thursday, January 8th, the Solari Report team will publish our Annual Wrap Up, complete with an online Web Presentation with graphs and charts to help you assess and digest the richness of our topic.
Here is what I will be covering:
- A Free and Inspired Life – our theme for 2015.
- Money Maps of the World – we have created a tool to review the “geo” of “geopolitics.”
- Planet Equity – our choice for the “big trend” to highlight this year.
- The Most Important Stories of 2014 and the Deeper Trends – I look at critical drivers in our culture and economy that define your opportunities and risks.
- 2014 Financial Market Round Up – a review of performance in the global financial markets.
- 2015: Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready – let’s talk about scenarios and strategies for this coming year.
- Vision 2020 – The Solari Report team wants to support your free and inspired life: here are our plans for 2015.
- Best Books for 2015 – Some of our favorite picks to keep you in the know this year.
- And the Winners are… – announcing the Solari Report hero, documentary and movie of the year.
- Credits and Closing – The Solari Report draws from the best and the brightest – we want to remind you of who they are and how you can enjoy their offerings.
This is a great way to start your year – with perspective!
My apologies for expecting you to read my mind. My question pertaining to the oil market was really about the debt instruments funding fracking. Satyajit Das makes the point that in ’08 subprime debt was a small portion of the debt market, yet it caused tremendous problems for the broader bond market.
Catherine, thank you as always for the Annual Wrap-Up. I will take my time getting through it as I want to absorb all the material. Meanwhile, have you read the novel Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson? it follows a logical path of what could happen as our machines get more and more intelligent. Quite a cautionary tale – would love to get your take on it. Thanks again for the Solari Report. I couldn’t get by without it!
Kathleen:
I just ordered Robopocalypse. Looks very interesting. I love the Battlestar Gallactica series done with Olmos and McDonnell for TV – and its warnings about the danger of AI.
Thanks for the kind words. This years Wrap Up has been quite a labor of love – it is so important once a year for me to take the time and review everything to refresh my overall perspective/framework. It is always a very enriching process.

Also another amazing one — The Martian, by Andy Weir. First novel, writing style is a little bumpy, but an amazing adventure tale. A botanist who is part of a manned Mars mission gets accidentally left behind, and must survive more than a year until he can be rescued. Made me stay up till 3:00 am on Christmas Eve – I couldn’t put it down.
OK, go that one too. The pile in the den grows every higher!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this presentation. The view is breathtaking.
I meant to ask whether you think creating an LLC for a self-directed IRA offered real protection of same.
Hi Catherine,
Given the pain being inflicted in the oil futures market, as a result of falling oil prices, has this altered your thinking regarding a potential financial collapse? I’m also wondering whether you thinking creating an LLC for a self-directed IRA offers the protection advertised. Thanks for being a beacon in a stormy sea.

Great, another Bio Regional expert. Here in central Texas, A friend of mine, T. N. was very active in past years. I recall Catherine spoke to a Bio Regional Congress, maybe in 2009 or 2010? T.N. has been quite the activist.
Cheers,
Brad
Catherine, I would appreciate you commenting on the impact of Chemtrails are having on our environment, which is effecting quality of health in all life, droughts and damage to our soils. There is an ever increasing awaresness of Chemtrails (also called Geoengineering by some), which have no oversight review and may well add in global warming as recent studies indicate. This awarranted spraying will have a long term impact on many areas of our economy and quality of life…your view is appreciated for sure! Sincerely,

Bruce:
I mention Chemtrails in the Wrap Up – I will address more about your question the following week as well.
Thanks,
Catherine
