(Tom: This a a great article that fills in another large piece of the jigsaw puzzle. Worth clicking through to finish reading.)<\/p>\n
I am not a scientist. I am not a doctor. I am not a biotech engineer. I am not an attorney. However, I read, listen, appreciate, and try to understand those who are.<\/p>\n
I was an investment banker until politics made it impossible to continue to practice my art. I was trained as a portfolio strategist\u2014so I map my world by watching the financial flows and allocation of resources. I was also trained as a conspiracy generator and foot soldier\u2014conspiracies being the fundamental organizing principle of how things get done in our world. It was not until I left the establishment that I learned that those not in the club had been trained to disparage and avoid conspiracies\u2014a clever trick that sabotages their efforts to gather power.<\/p>\n
My response to living at war with agencies of the U.S. government for a time was to answer the questions of people who were sufficiently courageous and curious to solicit my opinion. Over many years, that response transformed into two businesses. One was The Solari Report, which continues to grow as a global intelligence network\u2014we seek to help each other understand and navigate what is happening and contribute to positive outcomes. The other was serving as an investment advisor to individuals and families through Solari Investment Advisory Services. After ten years, I converted that business to doing an ESG screen. What those who use it want\u2014that is not otherwise readily available in the retail market\u2014is a screen that reflects knowledge of financial and political corruption. Tracking the metastasizing corruption is an art, not a science.<\/p>\n
