6 for the 2nd Quarter Wrap Up 2017. Finally, under Financial Markets, we have updat- ed our Annual Wrap Up 2015 list of companies involved in space, dividing them between compa- nies whose stocks are traded in the US, Europe, and Asia as well as private space companies and governmental organizations. The space-based economy is growing and will continue to do so as we become a multi-planetary civilization. In one sense, our efforts regarding the missing money and enforcement of the Constitution are about whether or not we will equitably share the benefits of our taxpayer investment in this effort. In addition to visiting Bangladesh during the 2nd Quarter, I spent a week in Hong Kong as that great city marked its 20th anniversary under Chinese rule. The people of Hong Kong are struggling with the same forces of central con- trol that we face in the United States. Freedom brings innovation, productivity, and prosperity. When centralized power wants the benefit of that prosperity, it threatens the legal foundations and the trust and financial liquidity that are essential to prosperity. All around us, the forces of global control threaten to kill “the goose that lays the golden egg.” Prior to visiting Hong Kong, I spent three weeks in Australia. That trip included a great lunch with Solari Report subscribers at the Fish Café in Sydney on my last day there. My visit also helped me plan our upcoming subscriber trip to Uluru in the Australian Outback (May, 2018) with Richard Dolan and Jason Bawden-Smith. Another special event in the 2nd Quarter was our lunch in Louisville, Kentucky in May to celebrate the successful funding of Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Dr. Joseph P. Farrell Virtual Pipe Organ Crowdfund. Dr. Farrell delivered an exceptional speech, “On Culture, Politics and Organ Music” which you can find at the crowdfund website. Special thanks to colleagues Chuck McCorkle and Kathy Churay and the many generous donors for helping to make this dream come true. Stay tuned for a virtual pipe organ delivery in the 3rd Quarter! I am currently writing from San Francisco with plans to head to Maine, New York, Santa Fe (the opera!), Switzerland, Austria (more opera!), Germany, Italy (Beethoven!), The Netherlands, and Iceland during the 3rd Quarter. Getting to know you as I travel is one of the finest benefits of serving a global audience of Solari Report subscribers. Just remember, whatever challenges lie before us, we have the capacity to gather our power and rise to the occasion. Yes, we can! Catherine Austin Fitts US Independence Day, July 4, 2017 I.
