O n behalf of the entire Solari Report team, I want to thank you for making it possi- ble for us to do what we do. Thank you for the steady stream of feedback and ideas. Thank you for making our gatherings such fascinating and heart-warming experiences. Nothing is more important than excellence in infor- mation and analysis. In addition to the Solari Team we have numerous members of our network who have been generous with their insights, analysis and time. We wish to thank them for their contribution to our intelligence and to the 2017 Annual Wrap Up. Jason Bawden-Smith – Entrepreneur Jason Bawden- Smith joined me on the Solari Report twice in 2017. Jason is the inspiration for more trips to Australia, in- cluding our May 2018 trip to the Australian Outback with 40 adventurous subscribers. Stay tuned! Harry Blazer – The Solari Food Series was a high- light of 2017. Harry is the master of food from soil to fork. A brilliant businessman, Harry also joined me to unpack Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods and the growth of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Harry at https://www.blazerconsulting.net Robert Dupper – Robert is the creative genius behind our Solari Report “Just a Taste” videos and the reason Catherine loves to go to Friesland! Brad Eddins – Brad is our News Trends & Stories Edi- tor – his insightful aggregation and analysis of our top stories daily, weekly and monthly helps us emerge the News Trends & Stories in each Wrap Up. Dr. Joseph Farrell – There is a reason why the invest- ment community spends a fortune supporting great scholarship. Intelligence is the edge. Joseph’s writings, his website and his many discussions with me have brought all of us an integration of history, science and technology that is breathtaking. Visit Joseph at: www.gizadeathstar.com. Ulrike Granögger – Ulrike is launching our Future Science series in 2018. She is a constant source of origi- nal insight and intelligence, in addition to her inspiring teaching of the Pistis Sophia. Ben Lizardi – Ben is one of the most gifted entre- preneurs I have ever known. His strategic insight and integrity keep me on track and his graphic and artistic skills help us communicate the right things with humor and grace each week. Ben converts our Annual Wrap Up to powerful PDF, flip book and published copy. Rambus – Rambus Chartology has supported us with technical analysis throughout the year and has gra- ciously allowed the Solari Report to republish subscrib- er-only charts. Rambus did his first Solari Report in 2015 and has been providing brilliant quarterly techni- cal analysis since. Visit Rambus at https://rambus1.com Jon Rappoport – Jon’s intellectual fearlessness keeps the matrix out of my mind all year long. He is the ultimate in New World Order intellectual pest control. The Shriek-O-Meter fizzles out in his presence. Visit Jon at: www.nomorefakenews.com The Saker – Quarterly military and geopolitical analy- sis from the Saker has informed the shift to an emerg- ing multipolar world. Visit the Saker at http://thesaker.is Franklin Sanders – Franklin never gives up making life work outside the matrix-precious metals, farming, community-and helping others-even the poorest and most lost among us-do the same. Visit Franklin at: www.the-moneychanger.com Court Skinner – I once said that the good thing about corruption in America is that it means the Solari Report has the benefit of Court’s insight and analysis, particularly on engineering and technology questions. Without corruption, Court would no doubt be a Sen- ator or running some big company. Support Court at http://www.computersforeveryone.org Jeroen van Straäten – Jeroen and Robert Dupper put on the two Breakthrough energy conferences in 2012 and 2013 and the Secret Space Program in 2014 and 2015. We hope to launch exciting joint productions in 2018. Stay tuned! Visit Jeroen at: www.secretspacepro- gram.org. Jason Worth – Jason has read and reviewed books on automation and technology and provided research on a range of complex issues. He adds lots of intelligence! And of course a word of thanks to the many remark- able guests who have joined us on the Solari Report. Your Culture Scout – Your Culture Scout writes Food for Your Soul which we think is one of the most fasci- nating sources of tips for great cultural experiences on the Internet. Last but not least, I have to give a shout out to the Solari Team who proved themselves to be masters of spiritual warfare in 2017. It is good they are so good at it, as 2018 opened up with quite a roar! —Catherine Austin Fitts
