A Special Note from Catherine:

World Affairs Journal latest volume has a series of articles on America's black budget and the dark side of America's role in the so-called "New World Order." This includes an article by Chris Sanders and me on the black budget. The "map" or framework presented in this article represents a milestone for me. To proceed with Solari, I needed two things which have now been accomplished over the last five years. First, to be through the first two trials in the litigation. That is, the attempt to frame us needed to have failed and be over. Second, I needed an overview of the financial machinery and local process related to the liquidation of community and government assets worldwide and the manipulation of both local and global markets. While filling out that map is a lifelong journey, both are now accomplished in a manner that allows us to proceed into the market to build the Solari Action Network.

A framework for the negative return on investment economy and how it is financed both covertly and overtly has taken many years. In recent years, it's development started with many billions of transactions and investments and portfolio strategy at Hamilton Securities which I used to prototype how to reoptimize local investment flows and their related securities. It was then enriched from the synthesis of decades of significant research, experience and insight by numerous people including members of the Solari Action Network -- Linda Minor, Jon Rappoport, Kelly O'Meara, Uri Dowbenko, Carolyn Betts to name a few. One of the most significant contributions was the rich flow of insight and data about market manipulations by Bill Murphy, Chairman of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, and his website contributors at Le Metropole Cafe. This included introducing me to Chris Sanders who --with his colleagues at Sanders Research -- has made the most formidable contribution of all over the last three years and did the heavy lifting by writing this piece.

This article comes with my highest recommendation. De-mystify how the "matrix" is financed, and therefore some of its most significant vulnerabilities, and we take a giant step towards what my pastor says, "If we can face it, God can fix it."


Article Excerpt:

THE NEGATIVE RETURN ON INVESTMENT ECONOMY: A DISCOURSE ON AMERICA's BLACK BUDGET
by Chris Sanders and Catherine Austin Fitts

The term Black Budget is often used in the context of spending on covert operations and top secret weapons development. This understanding of the term is incomplete, however. The American Black Budget involves much more. Its management is dependent on monopoly control of the currency system and on the ability to control the Federal credit, as well as cash flows from a variety of sources, illegal as well as legal. The truth of the matter is that the Black Budget is the real budget, of which the published Federal budget is only a part. Are you curious about how the Federal government could accumulate more than $4 trillion in “undocumentable transactions,” or how Federal agencies cannot pass audits year after year? Understanding the Black Budget is central to understanding the modern American economy.

EXPOSING THE SUPERPOWER



AMERICA’S CLASSICAL SECURITY DILEMMA SEARCH FOR A NEW *WORLD* ORDER
- Page 14

Armand Clesse sees the USA becoming a totalitarian militaristic society, increasingly intolerant of different economic and political systems. Washington’s policy of pursuing the elusive goal of absolute national security is in fact making both America and the *world* more and more unstable and dangerous.


THE BLACK BUDGET OF THE UNITED STATES THE ENGINE OF A “NEGATIVE RETURN ECONOMY”
- Page 22

Chris Sanders and Catherine Austin *Fitts* highlight the evidence that a very large proportion of the nation’s wealth is being illegally diverted since several decades into secret, unaccountable channels and programmes with unspecified purposes, including covert operations and subversions abroad and clandestine military R&D at home. Public institutions have been infiltrated and taken over by shadowy groups in the service of powerful private and vested interests, often at the expense of the common good.


THE UNACKNOWLEDGED THREAT SECRET AND COVERT OPERATIONS BY THE USA
- Page *40*

Steven M Greer points out that since the Second *World* War, the US military industrial complex has secretly sponsored at great public cost the R&D of new technologies for energy generation, air and outer space flight, futuristic weaponry for mostly military ends, which have not been made available for the common good. Yet today’s environmental and economic emergencies dictate that the accumulated know-how be used for the benefit of mankind in its peaceful applications


THE ORIGINS OF AL-QAIDA
- Page 58

Pierre-Henri Bunel is one of the intelligence specialists who has concluded that Al-Qaida is not an organised terrorist group formed to fight the US, as the Bush administration has repeatedly alleged. An investigation into its past yields clues about its real nature


THE LINKS BETWEEN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND AL-QAIDA
- Page *66*

Awareness is spreading fast worldwide that the US government is using fear (that is, terror) as a weapon to manipulate the masses at home and abroad in order to muster compliance with its repressive policies. According to Michel Chossudovsky Al-Qaida is a mere tool in the hands of Washington’s national security establishment.


WASHINGTON’S GLOBAL DRUG CRUSADE
- Page 88

Nedd Willard argues that the US-led war on drugs appears to have only made the narcotics abuse problem worse while causing widespread destruction in a number of developing countries where it helps justify American political interference and military intervention. It is clear that the policy of violent repression has failed and has resulted in civil strife and ecological devastation.


DEPLETED URANIUM: THE TROJAN HORSE OF NUCLEAR WAR
- Page 110

Leuren Moret points out that the use of depleted uranium by the American forces, in defiance of all treaties banning weapons of mass destruction, constitutes a violation of the laws of war and poses a major threat to human health and the environment across vast regions, possibly jeopardising the future of all life on the planet.


DID AMERICA USE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WMDS IN IRAQ?
- Page 128

David Guyatt has investigated reports that the Pentagon and the CIA attacked Iraq on at least two occasions with chemical and biological banned weapons in 1991. That further exposes the hypocrisy of the US campaign to eradicate the alleged but hitherto undiscovered WMDs in Iraq and other nations.


CAN THE UNITED STATES CORRECT ITSELF?
- Page 136

Jan Nederveen Pieterse notes that while building a global empire, with a huge but rather inefficient military, America has become a conformistic, authoritarian and socially backward oligarchic plutocracy whose vices are systemic and thus go much deeper than the problems connected with the Bush administration.
