The Feeling of Being under 24/7 Surveillance Changes People’s Behavior—and Strips Innovation from the Culture "Protect Your Privacy: Take Action with Dr. Jon Padfield" Dr. Jon Padfield is an engineer turned state representative turned business professor. In this fascinating interview, he offers a wealth of intelligence on how you can protect your privacy in the face of ever-encroaching technology. Who and what has you under surveillance in your car, with your phone, and in your home? We walk through the changes in technology that are converting your car into a surveillance trap, compromising your phone and ambient conversations, and turning your home into a public space accessible to those who want access to your intimate conversations and personal life. What are the many practical steps you can take to protect your privacy? You will be amazed by how many practical things you can do that can make a difference. Make sure to have pen and paper ready—Dr. Padfield lays out your action steps and focuses you on the top priorities. Those priorities include supporting the state and local representatives who are fighting for your freedom. Padfield’s two terms as a state representative in Indiana gave him an excellent understanding of the opportunities to take action in your community and engage with your representatives and senators in the statehouse.

Each Person Who Backs Out of the Control Grid and Becomes More Free Makes It Easier for the Rest of Us Our priority at Solari is your freedom and the protection of your individual sovereignty and human rights. This means that you must enjoy financial freedom—the ability to use your resources and transact without invasive control by digital ID systems, programmable digital money, and illegal use of enforcement and coercion. Many of us have become informed about the dangers of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) because the central bankers have explicitly told us that they can create the rules for how, when, and where we can use our money, also reminding us that they have the technology to enforce those rules centrally. However, these same control mechanisms can also be applied to private cryptocurrencies, such as stablecoins and asset tokens. Some states have passed laws outlawing CBDCs. Now we need to make sure that no form or system of programmable money can threaten our financial freedom. In addition to having developed model legislation to protect cash as a critical analog option, Solari has prepared model legislation to help states protect themselves against being coerced or forced into using digital money. Please send this bill to your state senators and representatives and ask them to sponsor and pass legislation in your state, so that you and your fellow citizens do not lose your rights to transact freely and do not become subject to taxation without representation.

Political Theater Makes Leaders Look Incompetent, but the People behind It Are Smart—They Know What They’re Doing "1st Quarter 2026 Wrap Up: News Trends & Stories, Part I with Dr. Joseph P. Farrell" Every quarter, I look forward to my News Trends & Stories discussions with Dr. Joseph Farrell as an opportunity to compare notes and refine our map of current events. With so many fast-moving developments currently rocking the world, both domestically and in the Middle East, this week’s Part I interview for the 1st Quarter 2026 Wrap Up was particularly welcome. One thing that Joseph and I emphasize in our discussion is that states’ efforts to put up programmable money guardrails and Iran’s efforts to not be subsumed in a monolithic globalist “architecture” are just two faces of the same battle the fight to protect financial transaction freedom and thwart a global control grid. Unfortunately, it looks like the parties who want control—and who are infuriated by Iran’s independence—are doing everything they can to prevent a ceasefire and continue wreaking global economic havoc. Here are the top stories for the 1st Quarter—we discuss Stories #1-6 in Part I, and will address Story #7 along with Unanswered Questions and Inspiration in Part II next week: I. Attack on Iran: The Rothschild Network (Central Bankers) Takes Their Best Shot II. Epstein: Are We Ready to Deal with the Secret Governance System? III. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi Embraces the Red Button: Justice Be Damned If the Dow Is Over 50,000 IV. The Going Direct Reset: The Programmable Money Wars Are On V. The Control Grid: The Hardware, Software, and Neurowarfare in Your Face VI. G7 to C4/5: Dealmaking and Swapping a Multipolar Face in a Unipolar World VII. Pushback Gets Fashionable As a reminder, you will get the most out of our discussion if you follow along at the 1st Quarter 2026 Wrap Up web presentation, where you will find related videos and other resources, including related stories from Joseph’s Giza Death Star website.

The Technocratic Dark State: Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship with Iain Davis (Full Interview) InThisTogether By John Titus In early November, Solari published my review of Iain Davis’s book, The Technocratic Dark State: Trump, AI, and Digital Dictatorship—a book I consider an absolute must-read. Davis is an independent investigative UK journalist and author who publishes at his own website as well as at other New Media outlets such as Unlimited Hangout. The Technocratic Dark State is his fourth book. As I wrote in my review, The Technocratic Dark State “provided so many penny-drop moments that I lost count of them.” For that reason, I was eager to do an interview with him to dive into some of his most critical insights. Our discussion starts with how money creation relates to the “tech bros,” with Davis’s compelling argument being that the partnership between old-line money creators and Big Tech facilitates two important goals: the continuation of U.S. dollar hegemony and central control of the population. We also explore the concept of “interoperability,” a term I once wrongly dismissed as an empty buzzword. From there, we take a look at the so-called Dark Enlightenment, consider the tech bros’ use of deception, and discuss features of the digital gulag, including digital IDs, as well as Davis’s ideas about how to resist. On the topic of resistance, Davis fittingly ends his book with a useful reminder from 16th-century French philosopher and magistrate Étienne de La Boétie: “Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces.” Full Report: Subscribe to

Catherine Austin Fitts Warns of an All-Seeing Digital Control Grid with Freedom Research (Full Interview) "In a new interview to Freedom Research, Catherine Austin Fitts poses the question of how would have Covid lockdowns been enforced if programmable money (CBDCs) had already been rolled out at the time. To put it simply, this is the kind of “money” that has levers for control on where and how it is spent. “If I put you in a 15-minute city and I don’t want you to leave this 15-minute city, the rules won’t work outside your 15-minute city,” she says – but if money itself gets custom designed, so to speak, the situation will be different. “You can then embed highly complex rule systems to manage each individual as well as to manage groups of individuals,” Fitts explains. Now, if you look at all the elements of the system Fitts calls the digital control grid – facial recognition cameras, QR code checkpoints, smartphones, etc., and you have AI data centers to analyse them all – then once you fuse it all together, it’s a digital concentration camp."

Private Equity: See the Game, Change the Game - Full Interview Join us on Telegram: "Private Equity: See the Game, Change the Game with Tiffany Cianci" In November 2024, entrepreneur and former franchisee Tiffany Cianci (Tiffany Cianci) was a Solari Hero of the Week for her valiant pushback against private equity lawfare that has cost her and her family dearly. Since a private equity firm terminated her children’s gym franchise in 2022, Cianci has become a public speaker and small business advocate helping policymakers and citizens understand private equity’s “systematic strip-mining of the American middle class.” In Solari’s first interview of 2026, Cianci joins me to draw back the curtain on the wider private equity “game,” with the aim of improving our subscribers’ ability to navigate products, services, and business and investment relationships in an increasingly fraught-with-risk environment. We start by discussing the growth of private equity (including the public policies that have encouraged its explosion), the largest players, the role of endowments like Harvard and Yale, private equity’s extraction business model and tactics, and shenanigans related to how private equity returns are calculated and reported. We also take a look at the wide range of sectors affected by private equity’s incursions—including health care, nursing homes, autism services, veterinary services, insurance, sports, retail, and media—and bring the situation up to date with a look at actions taken by the Trump administration, such as giving the private equity industry access to our 401(k) retirement funds. The private equity invasion may be widespread, but, as Cianci and I conclude, there is still much we can do—as employees, parents, alumni, investors, pension fund beneficiaries, and voters—to demand accountability and push back against destructive and even criminal business models. Step one is to protect your time, health, finances, and savings from businesses that extract from you and yours rather than add the value that supports a free and inspired life. As a reminder, be sure (if you have not already done so) to read our Plunder report, which provides additional details that will help you recognize and navigate the havoc created when too many investment interests use our pension funds and taxpayer resources to build billionaires instead of building wealth.

![Beware “Supplied Answers”—They Are a Huge Part of Cognitive Warfare "Weaponizing Immigration, Deportation, and Mass Migration with Michael Yon" The weaponization of immigration, deportation, and mass migration is not new—but the escalating push for plunder, aided by high-tech surveillance tools, is helping it reach a fever pitch. Author, photographer, war correspondent, and former Green Beret Michael Yon (Michael Yon: Callsign BIG HONEY) joins me this week to reflect on these trends. Yon has spent the past 20 years providing “unfiltered recon from the frontlines of the world’s most complex and chaotic global conflicts”—visiting over 100 countries in the process—so he knows whereof he speaks. Yon connects the dots between weaponized migration, supply chains, and trade routes around the world, discussing regions as disparate as the Darién Gap (the region connecting southern Panama and northern Colombia that is a major migrant thoroughfare) and the port of Rotterdam (a critical endpoint of China’s Belt & Road Initiative). His observations about Rotterdam and the ambitious project to “merge 4 countries into 1 European city capital” in the form of the Tri-State City are of interest to me in light of my residence in the Netherlands. We also discuss the growing tensions between Japan, China, and Taiwan and the currency wars underway with stablecoins and programmable money. Yon said in a recent interview that his senior officers in the military taught him something important: “[W]hat they would often say, ‘It’s all about conditions—set conditions for success or you’re setting conditions for failure.’” In light of the turbulent present-day conditions, we discuss actions we can take. Yon recommends building resilience in every way we can. Full Report: Subscribe to](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1994053767780585850/amplify_video_thumb/1994053663837376513/img/IL_lmsKifpgw7N_-.jpg)

Mr. Global Is Bleeding Economies Dry, Weakening Them for the Big Fight Later "Navigating the Omniwar: Those Who Are Prepared Will Be Able to Sail Through It with Michael Yon" By Elze van Hamelen Michael Yon (Michael Yon: Callsign BIG HONEY) is a man of many hats: a former Green Beret, an entrepreneur, a writer, a war correspondent, a photographer, an avid traveler, and an eternal student. These experiences allow him to assemble intelligence from a wide range of sources and perspectives. In late November 2025, Yon and Catherine recorded a fascinating, high-information-density interview in which they discussed, among other things, weaponized migration and the taking over of trade routes by the Chinese. Their rich exchange resulted in a visit to the Netherlands by Yon and his wife, Masako Ganaha. During their stay, I conducted this follow-up interview to hear Yon’s take on the many aspects of Omniwar he and Ganaha observed while in my country. The Netherlands is at the heart of many of Mr. Global’s projects. With the Rotterdam harbor as the end point of the Silk Road, it is a strategic target—and targeted it is. As in Germany, climate policies are taking down the energy infrastructure, leading to effective deindustrialization of what were once top-performing economies. In addition, so-called “rewilding” policies are leading to the destruction of fertile farmland and the introduction of wolves in densely populated areas, which is terrorizing cattle, farmers, and civilians. Meanwhile, the country is flooded by migrants with cultural backgrounds that are hostile to the Dutch culture. Yon warns of the high likelihood that the combination of policies being implemented could lead to famine. However, he also reminds us that we all have ancestors who survived wars, famines, and other man-made or natural calamities. We don’t need to wait, like “sitting ducks,” for disaster to strike. For those who are willing to face reality as it is, resources are available to prepare and sail through the storms. In a year that has already started off with a bang, this is an interview that will help you get ready and navigate. Full Report: Subscribe to

![Currency Wars with Simon Dixon - Full Interview Simon Dixon When I published The State of Our Currencies in the spring of 2020, I observed that we were in a global currency war, stating: “[I]t is essential to realize that we live and transact in a transition time between two systems.” The U.S. dollar as global reserve currency is the current system—the second system, I wrote, is “in the invention room.” In the intervening years, the currency wars have heated up, and Mr. Global’s invention room is spitting out more and more tools to implement programmable money on distributed ledgers and the digital IDs and local hardware to make the system go. This week, British entrepreneur, Bitcoin investor, and geofinancial analyst Simon Dixon helps us take stock of these fast-moving developments. Like me, Dixon has a long-standing interest in “missing money”—which arose after the dot-com crash of 2000 wiped out his father’s pension—and like me, he found that asking inconvenient questions about a “corrupt banking and financial industry” was not compatible with his prior career in investment banking. Given our mutual passion for freedom and building wealth, this is a conversation you will not want to miss. We start by discussing the rise of stablecoins, the passage of the GENIUS Act, and stablecoins’ potential impact on the dollar and Treasury Bill markets as well as on local economies. We also take a look at asset tokens and assess the implications of the not-yet-passed CLARITY Act. Wall Street leaders speak openly about their plans to use tokens to trade securities and assets—but the specifics of what they have in mind are far from clear. Other topics of discussion include the role of Bitcoin in the emerging financial system, the U.S. Bitcoin Strategic Reserve being funded with seizures, and the role of the “multiple CBDC” platform mBridge—a cross-border payment and foreign exchange transaction system initially piloted by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in collaboration with central banks in Hong Kong, Thailand, China, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia. We conclude with the question of the day: How do we stop the control grid? Dixon agrees about the dangers of programmable money. He continues to be a Bitcoin enthusiast in the face of Wall Street’s embrace of crypto and stresses the importance of self-custody and not leveraging Bitcoin positions. His website offers information about self-custody and a fascinating podcast, Bitcoin Hard Talk, that connects the dots between financial markets and geopolitics.

1.2 Billion Dollars Was Lost—But They Had No Idea For many years now, the Solari Report’s dedicated “Missing Money” website ( has sought to keep the public informed about the $21 trillion in “undocumentable adjustments”—in other words, money flowing out the back door—at the U.S. Departments of Defense (DOD) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from 1998 through 2015. In early 2019, we compiled many of these materials in our landmark, two-volume 2018 Annual Wrap Up: The Real Game of Missing Money ( Both websites are public. Our goal has been to provide an overview of the missing money as an integral part of the ongoing financial coup d’état. Understanding the essentials of the missing money story can help explain the dynamics that are driving policy today and why it is important to ask the following two questions: Why do we have a debt-based currency, when the U.S. Treasury can simply issue a currency without debt? And why is the New York Fed (the most powerful member of the Federal Reserve system, including serving as banker for the U.S. government) allowed to effect unconstitutional transactions year after year?
