2 The Solari Report / 2018 Annual Wrap Up / Part Two I am attracted to the essential—the critical building blocks of our economies and lives that are necessary to all of us. These are the things that we share and that unify us. We all want roads and bridges. Whether directly or indirectly, we all pay taxes. We all breathe the oxygen in the air. We all need food and water to survive. Ultimately, we are better off if we care for the living systems that give us life and if we share responsibility for leaving them in as good—if not better—shape than when we found them. Taking on the major controversies involving the essential can be hard. It can involve a lot of legal and financial information that is complex. It can involve a lot of people and resources and can seem overwhelming if you have not been trained to integrate informa- tion across different places and industries to see the world whole. However, there are no solutions without getting down to, as the song says, the “real nitty gritty.” The difference between our reality and official reality grows ever wider. That can happen as long as a significant portion of the funds we invest in government—whether as taxpay- ers, payers of fees and penalties, or investors—can be managed secretly and even stolen. The gap likewise grows wider when secrecy and organized crime govern the taxpayer-sup- ported credit that backs fiat currency and the military that makes credit mechanisms go. A nation that cannot enforce its laws will not remain a nation. That applies to a nation’s financial laws. In 2018, the Solari team made a significant investment in communicating the deterioration of the federal credit, how that relates to our financial laws, and what that means to our financial situation and credit. We started off the year publishing our 2017 Annual Wrap Up, including The State of Our Pension Funds, which provided a deep look at the “real deal” on U.S. pension funds and the baby boomers’ retirement. Shortly after launching the final web presentation, the So- lari Report website went down beyond repair. It took a month to get a new site launched for recent content. We continue to dedicate a significant portion of our team’s time to returning the historical content to a professional form. As a result of the website going down, we made The State of Our Pension Funds public. There were advantages to doing so. I started to see comments across the independent media: “Don’t believe that story on pension funds. See the Solari Report piece by Fitts on the pension funds—it explains exactly what is going on.” Give financially savvy entrepre- neurs the hard data and the facts—and the debate shifts in a positive direction. The reverberations from our 2017 publication of Dr. Skidmore’s report on the $21 tril- lion missing from the Departments of Defense and Housing and Urban Development (DOD and HUD) continued throughout the year. As I worked with commentators and reporters, however, it was clear they needed a grounding in the legal infrastructure of U.S. federal finances—both fiscal and monetary policies and operations. Consequently, we funded a series of seven briefing papers by attorneys Michele Ferri and Jonathan Lurie Solari Report the BY CATHERINE AUSTIN FITTS / ANNUAL WRAP UP VOLUME 2018 / NUMBER 1 Does Your Pension Fund Have A Deep State Drain?
