To offset the gloom and to contribute to efforts to preserve Western culture, we launched the Dr. Joseph P. Farrell Virtual Pipe Organ Crowdfund in October with a dinner with Dr. Farrell in Tulsa. Thanks to the tremendous support of many wonderful subscribers, Phase I was completed in January. Our goal is to fund Phase II in 2017. Another great morale booster was launching the Solari Food Series with Harry Blazer, a series that will continue in 2017. As you will understand from reading this Annual Wrap Up, I believe that the price of food and its availability will become an important issue in the years ahead. Our quarterly guests continued to be a voice of reason, intelligence and creativity, including Rambus, the Saker, Jon Rappoport, Dr. Joseph Farrell, and Franklin Sanders. I will be launching a Solari investment screen in partnership with an asset management firm in 2017. In anticipation, we published a review of the universe of ESG (environmental, social and governance) investment in our 3rd Quarter Wrap Up: Investment Screening: Can We Filter for Productive Companies? In part, this report continued our emphasis on the importance of both labor and human productivity. I said this last year and here I am saying it again this year: we planned to launch our new website for solari.com in 2016. As sometimes happens with systems projects, this endeavor has taken longer than expected. We are hoping to launch in the 1st Quarter of 2017. Our goal is a signif- icant improvement in your subscription soft- ware, mobile access and greater ease in locating content. This new site will represent a significant investment in the future of the Solari Report. Expected in the 1st Quarter of 2017 is a new website for my online book, Dillon Read & Co. Inc. & the Aristocracy of Stock Profits with a French translation added. We also plan to make a hard copy of this book available. We have redesigned our Solari coin and will be offering it soon – I think you will like it! We will also announce the 2018 excursion to the Austra- lian Outback with Richard Dolan and Jason Bawden-Smith. Stay tuned! The Solari Report team has additional events and plans percolating for 2017. However, this will be a year of transition – we expect the un- expected and want to make sure that we can be responsive. As I mentioned in a previous section, get ready to “rock and roll.” The theme for our 1st Quarter Wrap Up will be Washington Heads in a New Direction: People and Policies to Watch. There is no doubt that change is accelerating in Washington and that it will have a global impact. As our subscriber base grows, I continue to enjoy our ongoing conversation. As a group, you are some of the most remarkable people I have ever known. Together, we are conspiring in a world of dramatic change and getting better at it every day. Keep those ideas, questions, and comments coming to help us serve your free and inspired life in 2017! —Catherine Austin Fitts I also took time this year to write the 2nd edition of our our Christmas card, “Prayers For The Year 2017.” This 68-page booklet is available free of charge, while supplies last, to anyone who emails a request to: darlene@solari.com. ublished by Solari, Inc.
