Introduction

Theme “Geopolitics Squeeze Main St.”

Money & Markets In Money and Markets, Catherine discusses the development of a global digital currency. She also covers the latest news surrounding the G7 and other current events.

Hero Our Hero this week is Senator Frank S. Niceley and other legislators who stand up to the machine.

Ask Catherine Catherine answers questions submitted by subscribers.

Question 1:

How do you see the creating of money to buy bonds or to distribute in the general economy affect the standing of the dollar as a reserve currency. Do you see a thwarting of this ef-fect through fiscal policies?

Any opinions on the writing of Porter Stansberry?

Question 2:

Dear Catherine:

I read with great interest the article you recently posted from Rambus Chartology, making their case in predicting what could become a total collapse in the value of pre-cious metals. This made me realize that with so many people believing in recent years that the collapse of the U.S. dollar was imminent, and it still hasn’t happened, that many precious metals investors may finally decide that it’s time to begin unloading their metals.

What are your thoughts on what was mentioned within the Rambus article?

Question 3:

Dear Catherine:

In addition to the movie “Second Opinion” that you’re re-viewing today in “Let’s Go to the Movies”, I also recommend the movies “Burzynski” and “Cancer: The Forbidden Cures”, which are outstanding movies on curing cancer, too. Both of these movies are available on DVD and they can be seen on YouTube also. In addition, last year on The Solari Report Jon Rappoport recommended the book “Politics in Healing” by Daniel Haley, and after reading this book because of Jon’s recommendation, I can honestly say that it’s the most important book I’ve ever read.

Question #4:

Hi Catherine,

Thank you for all your (and your staff’s) hard work in bringing the Solari report to us! I have two questions. First, you have said that 3D printing looks to be a major trend for the future. Do you have any companies in this space that you consider worthy investments?

Not allowed to give investment advice. Yes, there are companies in this area I think are worth investing in. Momo stocks have been trad-ing off and we are long over due for a correction. So be careful when you buy.

Second, you have said that nothing happens without the meta structure allowing it to hap-pen. With that in mind why do you think they are allowing a program like Coast to Coast with George Nory to exist and reach such a large audience?

Let off steam – also get their message out within it.

Question #5:

What do you think about the Divest Monsanto effort? http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/go/1246?t=13&akid=1197.323388.Syd2Fv

What will happen to gold and silver if war occurs? What will happen to other markets / holdings if war occurs?

Is it possible there could be a subscribers’ luncheon during the time you are in San Mateo in June?

Thank you!

Question #6:

Good gosh, Catherine. I just realized that you DID know Michael Ruppert… and you knew him well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZNvSX3A7pc

I am very sorry, Catherine, that you lost a friend.

Question #7:

(CAFR) equivalent regards the wealth of the earth?

Catherine could you please comment regards the BLM standoff in Nevada.

This cuts through so many of your themes.

It is time for a Comprehensive Annual Financial Reports (CAFR) equivalent regards the wealth of the earth?.

What do the extraction industries know and where do we find it ??

For example I remember a story of the shuttle images mapping forests and the US Forest Service assessing from the
data that companies had to be harvesting more lumber then was being accounted for in permits and fees.

There must be more then a dispute about unpaid rent for grazing rights…but it ALSO has a huge the distraction factor.
It dragged in a lot of people and Stuart R. at Oathkeeper’s commented on the presence of active serving officeholders.

As with the Social Security claw back of benefits from a child decades later in one sense
it is the dying sector of the economy just desperately trying to hang on. There must be
suitors for that land who want to pay more and the BLM is trying to obtain that.

Is this not an example along the lines of not paying your taxes (or filing properly)
Your just breaking the law.

What the post below does not say of course is that the rents can be manipulated to drive
out one suitor for the land use and bring in another.

Let’s Go to the Movies! This week for Let’s Go to the Movies, Catherine reviews The Good Shepherd a film about the birth of CIA counter-intelligence.

“We have to solve our own problems.” ~Charles Hugh Smith

By Catherine Austin Fitts

Blogger and author Charles Hugh Smith of Of Two Minds will be joining me on the Solari Report this week. His work has long had a special appeal for me. No matter what the topic, Charles makes a serious effort to look into the heart of things while integrating a wide range of material – from global geopolitics and finance down to the intimate relationships between people and our money in a world gone mad.

Charles and I will start with a discussion of “soft weapons” – the tactics used to exercise targeted force through legal and financial means or through media and digital systems. Increasingly, invasive digital systems and complex economies create countless ways of waging war without dropping bombs, as described in his recent post on the Ukraine, How the Empire Might Strike Back.   We will be talking about the Ukraine and other points of global tension as symptoms of the wider challenges of “peak everything” – more people, more competition for limited natural resources – and what you and I can do to navigate uncertain times.

In Money & Markets this week I will discuss the current developments in the economy, geopolitics and financial markets.

In Let’s Go to the Movies, we will be discussing Robert De Niro’s 2006 spy movie, The Good Shepherd.  A fictionalized description of the birth of counter-intelligence in the Central Intelligence Agency, it takes us into the historical roots of today’s soft warfare machinery.
