"Acting on a friend's suggestion, I attended a Catherine Austin Fitts speaking engagement in Ashland, Oregon. I was completely enraptured by the information she presented, and by her delivery of it. It would not be an exaggeration to say that what I learned in her lectures and workshop that weekend amounted to a paradigm shift in my perspective about the past, present and future of the U.S. government, U.S. economy, and U.S. markets. Listening to Catherine inspired me to begin an educational effort that is ongoing. She has a way of elucidating her audience on subjects and issues about which most citizens are deliberately kept ignorant, and she does so in a way that energizes and encourages. She casts a bright light on the map to a beautiful new world."
"Finally, [someone] who is concerned with the quality of life for humans and with environmental health. [Someone] who speaks about the reality of "tapeworm economics" we are living with in the U.S., and how we can educate ourselves and take action to make positive changes."
"I just wanted to take a minute to commend your extremely enlightening interview with Jim Puplava [of Financial Sense Newshour] on 'America's Black Budget and Manipulation of Markets'. I'm going to read it a few times to make sure I absorb all you mentioned particularly about the how our political economy has turned into a huge wealth transfer mechanism."
"My Dad and I were driving to Philly to pick up my son, who is home on leave from San Diego. He is in the Navy, will be deployed on May 7, and when my Dad picked me up ... this morning to drive to the airport, he was listening to Catherine on Coast to Coast. We were so intrigued, I found 3 different stations to listen to the broadcast and switched between them as the reception faded on one, we tuned into the next. He didn't know who she was, but loved everything she was talking about. At 4am, all I could remember was Solari and Catherine.
"Now I sincerely hope that you have read this far, and simply didn't go click [to her Dillon Read story]. Only because for all intents and purposes, this is a real life Matrix movie moment: Whereby, by virtue of clicking onto her site and reading the piece you will in effect be taking the red pill..."
"I am just so relieved in a way to have found you. You restore my sense of reality. You demonstrate in detail what I have long suspected. How shameful that so many participate at the level you achieved and so few break the rule of "Omerta." I was raised Catholic and taught the way of the cross. Comes the moment of truth, most toss a pinch of incense on Caesar's altar. Very few choose the way of the cross, to bear witness. As such you are a conduit of the holy for the rest of us. The holy spirit, if you will. In your work and testimony, I sense its movements and it calls to me too. As it might call your trucker friends, farmers, and someday many, many of us. Thank you."

Workshop:  Moving from Observer to Player -- Creating the Future You Deserve and Desire

View the Ashland Event PowerPoint Slides
View the Ashland Workshop Slides

Some things we can do on our own. Some things we can do with a small group of friends -- by phone or in person. Some things require the creation of new networks and markets -- both in our community and between communities. The potential options for action are near infinite. How do we understand what is available to us and how to organize and sequence things so that they give us immediate and sustained energy? In this workshop, Catherine provides an overview of options and helps us simulate some examples focused on the Ashland area.

For those who attended Catherine’s workshop in Ashland last October, this workshop is designed to help early adaptors move to action. For those who are new to Catherine’s work, we are providing on line access to our audio seminars to make sure you have plenty of background.

Are you ready to take the next step and get involved in redesigning how the money flows in your life and your community? If so, we invite you to call Will at 541-512-0874 and register today.

Lecture:  Are You Creating the Future You Deserve and Desire?
Every day, we each make personal decisions about how we allocate our time and resources. These choices have a powerful impact on what happens in our world. How we use our daily attention and transactions and our influence with those around us can support the very people and institutional behavior that we say we oppose -- or it can shift the course of history. Catherine Austin Fitts provides a unique perspective on how to move from observer to player to attract the future we deserve and desire for our families, friends, communities, planet and ourselves.

Moving from Financial Observer to Financial Player – Creating the Future You Deserve and Desire
HealthQuest, 1330 SE 39th Ave, Portland, OR

Every day, we each make personal decisions about how we allocate our time and resources. These choices have a powerful impact on what happens in our world. How we use our daily attention and transactions and our influence with those transacting around us can support the very people and institutional behavior that we say we oppose -- or it can shift the course of history.

The potential options for financial action are near infinite. Some things we can do on our own. Some things we can do with a small group of friends -- by phone or in person. Some things require the creation of new networks, enterprises and markets -- both in our community and between communities. How do we understand what is available to us and how to organize and sequence things so that they give us immediate and sustained energy? In this workshop, Catherine provides an overview of options and helps us simulate some examples focused on the Portland area.
