As you listen, check out the News Trends & Stories section of the 2018 Annual Wrap Up web presentation, including our complete trends list, our choices for top news videos of the year, the Trump Report Card and our headlines for the top stories.

In the week following, in News Trends & Stories, Part II, we will cover the 10 top stories in Culture, Science, Space & Technology, Food & Health and discuss UnAnswered Questions, Inspiration and Take Action.

In the third week of January, I will cover equity and financial markets and publish the first Blockbuster Chartology from Rambus for 2019.

In the final week I will address our 2018 Annual Wrap Up theme: The Real Game of Missing Money. We have heard a great deal of discussion in 2018 about the $21 trillion in money missing from the federal government between federal fiscal 1998-2015. The discussion got so serious that the US government decided to institute a policy authorizing secret books.

Given the role of the US government as the largest issuer and/or insurer of sovereign bonds, mortgage securities and bank deposits, and given its powers to grant corporations the authority also to maintain secret books, the result has been in effect to take large portions of the US stock and bond markets dark.

This is the single most pivotal issue before US citizens and citizens of countries under the US security umbrella. The United States is using accounting policy to convert its form of government to a fascist model. In the process, it is discarding centuries old standards and laws of disclosure for the majority of the US market securities. This change has profound implications for global investors and financial markets.

The time has come to provide subscribers with an overview of what has happened and what it means to us.

In Let’s Go to the Movies, I will review the winners of the Solari Report Top Documentary of 2018 and Top Movie of 2018.

The Best of the Solari Report – The Weekly Interviews & Special Reports

“We know today that man, essentially, is a being of light. And the modern science of photobiology … is presently proving this. In terms of healing the implications are immense. We now know, for example, that quanta of light can initiate, or arrest, cascade-like reactions in the cells, and that genetic cellular damage can be virtually repaired, within hours, by faint beams of light. We are still on the threshold of fully understanding the complex relationship between light and life, but we can now say emphatically, that the function of our entire metabolism is dependent on light.” ~ Dr. Fritz Albert Popp, The International Institute of Biophysics

Each year in the last two weeks of December, we celebrate the very best of the Solari Report. Last week we published links to our 2018 Wrap Ups – all three Quarterly Wrap Ups and the 2017 Annual Wrap Up published in January 2018.

This week, in our second part, we publish four favorites from our weekly interviews and Special Reports during 2018.

Why does the world seem so out of balance? I believe the primary reason is that so much of what is happening is kept secret – hidden behind the secret books and secret operations of banks and corporations under the umbrella of National Security. When I was in New Zealand in May, I interviewed Amy Benjamin on The Cost of Secrecy. When family and friends ask “How could this be happening and we not know?” Amy gives us exactly what we need to explain how secrecy is engineered. How can the Deep State run the government and major operations and finances outside of the law? Here’s how.

When I was in Europe last February, our videographer Robert Dupper and I took a road trip from the Netherlands to Switzerland to interview Present Age publisher Thomas Meyer on The Future of Europe. This is a wide-ranging conversation on how we build a human future. Thomas always provides an inspiring antidote to help restore and nurture our spiritual and cultural grounding.

I was in France this summer when several of us sat down to watch Ulrike Granögger’s documentary for the Solari Future Science Series, The Wave Genome – Quantum Holography of DNA. This was a paradigm shifting experience for me. How could I be so ignorant of my scientific reality? If you have not watched The Wave Genome yet, here’s your chance. This is invaluable intelligence that will open your mind and open your heart.

We are daily buffeted by a fundamental reordering of institutions and cultural wars encouraged by the establishment. Maintaining our coherence is an art form. I asked Harry Blazer who is the host of the Solari Food Series to join me for a discussion on how to live a free and inspired life and maintain coherence. One afternoon we sat in my den in Hickory Valley to record and Learning to Walkabout was the result.

Our four selections for the Best of the Solari Report 2018 give you an opportunity over the holidays to connect with four of the most inspiring people I know. Enjoy!

My next Money and Markets report will publish on January 3, 2019. Post your questions for me here or send to Ask Catherine. I will be interviewing Dr. Farrell at the end of the month, so if you have questions or suggestions for our top stories of the year, do the same.

It has been a pleasure working for you this year. On behalf of the entire Solari team we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

PS. If you are looking for great museums, movies and cultural experiences, make sure to check out recommendations from Your Culture Scout at our Food for the Soul column. Truly, not to be missed!
