I’ve found Tom and Co. to be a much more practical resource on the analysis of the overlap between geopolitics and finance the C.A. Fitts.
I can no longer take seriously the musing of someone who refuses to address root cultural issues because “they don’t want to be divisive”.
Hi omnimatter – I subscribe to Solari and I do enjoy Catherine’s beautful mind. I read the article you posted here. This striking statement from Tom Luongo’s writing might be useful for busy Gizas needing a quick read for now. Thank you. Alicia xo
I am glad you enjoyed the article but Fitts omissions are akin to cowardice. Luongo is the only analyst modeling the factional infighting as the Davos set which includes EU, UN, UK, Black Rock, ECB, and IMF against the American faction of Wall street commercial bankers and Fed.
I didn’t understand exactly what you meant by “divisive.” I think I’m clearer now, but I would like you to please hit the Pause button on the terms, “akin to cowardice.” Knowing about Catherine’s history, take that into account in your assessment, because the phrase you use is too ham-fisted. She is courageous and much loved here. Thank you for writing your views and listening to mine.

And now for a taste of reality…
i couldn’t begin to fully understand that technical analysis but the conclusion is mostly consistent with my intuitive analysis.
with all the talk about BIS/Davos planning a centralized digital currency, my thinking was the wall street hotshots did not want to get flanked by a global system that could undermine or even swallow the dollar. and they don’t want to submit to a single global basel based system that could get in their way or control their initiatives. so some of US commercial banks explained the situation to the fed who concurred and a plan was hatched to prevent a tidal wave over the dollar - weaken a potential competing digital currency and make way for a multi polar world where there is opportunity for the dollar to be used strategically.
i know what i just wrote is not that clear but it was my speculative intuitive surmisal during the pandemic when the fear of digital currency and vaccine passports were in full swing. the good news is that not everybody wants to live in that passport control world. freedom is better, even for the dollar and wall street.
@aurajenn I understood everything you typed and you were clear and absolutely correct… It’s CBDC on it’s way very soon.
@omnimatter As you can read, I agree with aurajenn. Unfortunately, Luongo didn’t really hit on the CBDC factor, which makes him sort of meh, IMO. He led right up to it then, poof. This is part 1, I get it, so, will wait for part 2 to draw full conclusion.
What I found a lot more interesting is Luongo’s mention of Manchin and Sinema. I have been saying this even before I got to this site, “Watch Joe Manchin!” Should he decide to run in 2024, Dems don’t even have to rig the election; I give him a 90% chance of winning. Unfortunate that Sinema cannot be his running mate, else, it might be in the bag. You’ll have to go look up his record to see why I think this way but, there’s another reason. People are tired of ‘extremes’; just plain sick of it, at least most are. On one hand, you have stupid & demented and the other you have loud mouths, which could also be stupid and demented but, emphasis on loud mouths. I think U.S. pop wants someone with experience, even-tempered to a certain degree and Manchin is an old-time, moderate Dem which is unheard of these days. If, IF the Dem Party can talk him into (or whatever else) running, he will win. All the Dems will vote for him and many Reps as well. People are tired of the circus. This doesn’t mean Manchin is on the side of The People, only that he can win 2024, if he runs.
Looking forward to part 2 to find out if CBDC is the subject.
Thanks for the article.
He addresses the CBDC factor elsewhere in detail, frankly, the CBDC is not in the cards if the Fed defends the already highly digitized dollar. Hence, Fitts and Co. are lagging in analysis and living in a “Mr Global” fantasy of ambiguities.
No, I’m sorry, I do not retract. I know her personally; I wrote for her cause and interacted with her regularly at her site. I’m all too aware of her blind spots and lacking, in particular, theological and scientific literacy and willingness to avoid addressing specific critical issues due to her desire to remain as broadly marketable as possible. Such patterns can readily be identified as intellectual dishonesty.
At least CAF knows that in order for Fed to initiate and roll-out CBDC, LEGISLATION must be passed and I wouldn’t, for a second, put that past our ‘representatives’.
The legislation is tied to which group of financial oligarchs wrest control of the monetary policy from the hands Powell. All policy is downstream from banking and finance. Commercial banking interests have no interest in a CBDC, as long as the dollar remains mostly digitized, and strong. The going direct reset means the end of private capital formation and the end of the NY private banks who own the Fed. Do you think Wallstreet is going to roll-over for old european money communists? Doubt it. The distinction that must be introduced is the use of retail CBDC at the level of the consumer and the use of a commercial CBDC for settling transactions internationally. Its not an either/or yes/no proposition for CBDC.
Never said it was a yes/no proposition.
The reference to legislation as the obstacle or threshold implies an either/or scenario, but no matter, you’ve clarified yourself.
Have you read the legislation? I doubt it. Missed that word ‘exception’, didn’t you? No matter, you’ve already clarified yourself.
No, I did not. In posterity, it doesn’t modify my reading of your commentary.
Of course you didn’t read it and you never will. Ciao!
I’ve no idea what you’re referencing at this point due to apparent strategic ambiguities.
There is rigor and imagination. I think intellectual clarity can be very lonely and scary. Yes, we are to strive for unity in truth, never unity apart from it. But truth is not fully true apart from love – nor is Love fully Himself, apart from Truth. There are still Elijahs among us defeating the prophets of Baal. Then the turns … the sadistic turns. …Elijah won fair and square – but Jezebel couldn’t bear her defeat. … the harlot still can’t. But Elijah was not alone, though he felt alone. Enter Jehu – and that invisible, God-made body of little, humble people anointed, acting in divine coordination. I believe we are to remember the hairdressers in the courts of Jezebel who pushed the old broad out the window. Keeping communication lines open with you, omni …Alicia xo
Get rid of those hairdressers, omni! I don’t have any so, no worries.
Oops, I forgot the kissy, kissy, kissy…(That trash is esp. aimed at what is perceived as insecure men, never mind the women.)
Oh, and be careful of all the PM’s. You could eventually be doxed.
