“In space, the United States is going to do Colonel Glen proud. We are finally going to lead again. You see what’s happening? You see the rockets going up left and right. You haven’t seen that for a long time. Very soon we’re going to Mars. You wouldn’t have been going to Mars if my opponent won. You wouldn’t even been thinking about it. A new national strategy for space recognizes that space is a war fighting domain just like the land, air and sea. We may even have a Space Force – develop another one. Space Force. We have the Air Force, we will have the Space Force.” ~ President Donald Trump, March 2018

This coming week we will continue our publication of the 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up. The Wrap Up audios – both the full interview and chapters – will be published on Thursday at 6pm ET.

Last week Dr. Joseph P. Farrell joined me to discuss News Trends & Stories, Part I. We covered the top ten stories in Economy & Financial Markets and Geopolitics. Please make sure you listen to Story #1 – Marketing the Rape of Russia to North America. It describes recent developments that pose significant risks to us all and underscores the importance of enforcing the US Constitution and the federal financial laws.

Here is some of the early feedback:

HOLY COW! And I’m not even into Chapter 2 yet!

It sure seems to me, that this is the best Wrap Up I’ve ever heard. Certainly, there is a HELLUVA lot going on right now. Lots of stuff in play….what a fantastic job unpacking it, providing current and legacy context about the game space, and as always, a delightful measure of levity to some very serious subject matter.

This week in Part II, we address the next top ten stories in Culture, Science & Technology, Space and Food & Health.

11. The Obama Portraits & In-Your-Face Culture Shock
12. The Whipping Machine: Rising Frustration with Zionism, Malicious Prosecution & Predatory Practices
13. Atmosphere Ionization: Weather Warfare, Disaster Capitalism, 5G & the Poisoning of the Planet
14. Innovation: The US Drops Out of the 10 Most Innovative Countries
15. There Goes the Neighborhood: Microsoft Buys Linux
16. The Hack of Independent Media: If You Can’t Beat Them, Cheat Them!
17. Putin & Trump Promise Magic & Mysterious Weapons – is the Rod of God the Real Deal?
18. Trump: We Should Have a Space Corp
19. Corporations Grab the Equity from Re-engineering Health Care
20. The War on Children Catches Up to the Pentagon

Dr Farrell and I also cover the top stories in Go Local, our top questions in UnAnswered Questions and touch on what works for us in Inspiration.

As you listen, check out our 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up web presentation for News Trends & Stories including our complete trends list, our choices for top news videos of the year, our updated report card for the Trump administration, and our descriptive links for each of the 10 top stories for Part I (Complete) and Part II (Complete on Thursday). The web presentation URL and password will be posted in subscriber links.

In our third week I will cover equity markets and publish the Blockbuster Chartology from Rambus for 1st Quarter 2018. This discussion will include a discussion of what extreme “pirate-ization” – even the “Rape of Russia” – in the United States starting after the election could mean to your personal finances and risk management.

In the final week we will address our 1st Quarter 2018 Wrap Up theme: Who’s Who & What’s Up in The Space-Based Economy. Investment in space is a long lived trend. We will review the different activities, industry sectors and provide updates on our lists of public and private enterprises.

In Money & Markets this week I will discuss the latest in financial and geopolitical news. Please post or e-mail your questions for Ask Catherine.

In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review Take Your Pills – a new documentary from Netflix about increasing use and addiction among young people of Adderall and other amphetamine stimulants.

Talk to you Thursday!
