There are some good people, but to connect it to the economy, I needed somebody like you who says you’re not an economist and you say you’re not a financial person, but you are very good at math. If Trump says that he is a numbers guy, in your own way you are too, even though I know you don’t think of yourself as that kind of person. But you can make sense of the economy, and you’re very good at making sure that the asset side and the liability side match up. You keep the balance sheet straight, and you see where disin- formation skews the balance sheet. Anyway, you were the person who really helped me integrate space with traditional analysis in the financial markets, and I just feel like that has made an enormous contribution, not just to what I do at The Solari Report, but also to my sanity. Farrell: Well, thank you. I had to do it to keep my own sanity because the financial analysis from so many people just does not make sense. Fitts: Right. Farrell: I’ve said many times, “I remember my thinking all the way back to when Nixon took us off Bretton Woods, that there was to be a finan- cial collapse any day now.” We’ve been hearing this for so long that I thought, “This expectation is like a rapture prediction. There is something wrong, some factor that we’re not considering.” The one definite factor is that so much money is not accounted for, that it must be going some- where. The circuit isn’t confined to investment on Earth. It’s going somewhere else. Fitts: Right. Whatever that place is, it’s big. You cannot understand the economy without looking at it. Farrell: I agree. Fitts: One of the reasons to ask whether or not we will have a controlled demolition of the US politics and economy next year is clearly that Mr. Global does not want chaos messing up his space program. Farrell: No, I don’t think so. I agree whole- heartedly. Fitts: Right. If there is anything supporting the slow burn, it’s protecting that space program. Farrell: Absolutely. Just look at the collateraliza- tion model that I’ve been proposing. If indeed they made a deal with the major corporations and primary banks back in the late 1940s to cre- ate a hidden system of finance and to create tech- nologies to get us into space, then bankers must have wanted some collateral. The model has al- ways been the Venetian bankers: “We’ll give you a loan to create your ships to go buy spices, but the collateral is going to be our stake in whatever you bring back.” This model now reappears with space. You see not only the commercial companies starting up in a major way – Elon Musk and Richard Bran- son and Robert Bigelow etc. And you can see other countries wanting to get into space: China in particular, but also India, Germany, France, Japan, and Brazil. They sense that the economic game is moving there now. Fitts: Right. Farrell: I noticed in your outline that you have the headline, Chinese Scientists Study Viability of Manned Radar Station on the Moon. That is very important because people do not realize that existing international treaties bar all nations from having any permanent base, military or otherwise, on the moon, nor to profit from one. However, treaties allow you to have permanent facilities there for research. Research, as far as I can recall, is left deliberately undefined. So you can claim to do research in just about anything, and under the guise of “research” you can harvest the colossal wealth of the moon, which is worth not trillions, but quadrillions of dollars. And the Chinese can say, “We want to build a radar station,” but they are really saying “We are building a research base.” Fitts: Right. Farrell: In other words, we can see quadrillions of dollars in outer space and see quadrillions worth of derivatives. You put together the assets and liabilities and you come up with profits. So,
