138 The Solari Report / 2018 Annual Wrap Up / Part Two Top Ten Stories: Part II Part II includes our stories for the categories of Culture, Science & Technology, Space, and Food & Health. CULTURE “The number one challenge of robotics is: How do you create legal and financial and account- ing systems to manage it? You are talking about new systems for every county, every state, every country globally. From a legal and financial standpoint, it is a huge challenge to do. The way to simplify it enormously is to take the human system and fit the robots into the human system. The beauty of that is you have the state and local and payroll taxation system that the deep state is financially dependent upon. They don’t want to lose that. If you can set it up so that a robot can be a citizen and a robot can have a birth certificate, you can slip it right through the payroll system. This will save you decades of controversy and nightmare and work.” ~Catherine Austin Fitts Story #11: Gender X: Adapting Human Labor Law and Taxation for Robotics Transhumanism is blurring the lines between human, cyborg, and robot. “Gender X” is the drumbeat—a convenient cover for the integration of robots into the human labor system for regulation and taxation purposes (allowing faster rollout of robotics) and a distraction to keep people from paying attention to efforts to prototype and test the integration of digital technology into humans. The Gender X issue also represents an effort to untether people from their tradi- tions and history. This linguistic agenda may seem harmless, but it is not. In response, we need to remember that “where two or more are gathered, there am I”—there is a powerful magic that comes from connecting with our ancestors, our families, and the divine. · Joseph P.

Story #12: Gates Apologizes for Common Core Failure There are money games going on in education—outsiders dictate policy, while our local taxes pay for their experiments. In this context, Bill Gates’ apology for his Common Core failure is a big win, illustrating what citizen pushback can accomplish. What does it mean that Gates is standing up and apologizing for spending $400 million to tinker with American children’s brains (and get them online 24/7)? Our guess is that he wants in on the DOD Jedi or other contracts and wants to avoid the political pushback on tech companies.
