    Yes, plenty to check out now that I’m in here; currently listening to 5 hour audio post from JPF and catherine Fitz…a very good start! Thanks for the welcome, Friend request sent πŸ™‚

    Exactly what I wanted to do today…join a vid chat for the first time. I really didn’t mean to imply they wouldn’t continue, just a bit disappointed today as I only joined as a paid up member yesterday; I have followed JPF for the last two years, and have a few of his books now. My situation was ‘complicated’ by having to live in Oz for two years…[Read more]

    Was looking forward to today’s vid chat, only to find it has been cancelled because of buffering issues…I have to laugh, just my luck! There’s always next week πŸ™‚

    • I think that’s called Sod’s law! The next chat will be even better and worth waiting for! 🤓

    Checked in to see vidchat for today has been cancelled. Damn…my first one too…hope it’s not a portent of things to not come πŸ™

    • Better not. These are segments of our weeks that we make times for. You can scarcely come up with reasons for doing this without wanting to know about Dr. Farrell.

    • Welcome and hopefully not, but meanwhile, there are hours and years of them in the archives if you want to start there . . . sort of pot luck with topics.

    • In the members’ section you have a few years of previous vidchats and audio casts to listen to in the meantime!

    Another interesting tidbit…JPF read from a document in News and Views a week or two ago, about a 20 yo plan from China to avoid direct military confrontation with the US but to fight by ‘other means’ with biological weapons mentioned as one very real possibility. JPF cautioned that he couldn’t verify the origin of the article he read…[Read more]

    OK, full member now…bank finally came good with cc. I’m now trying to find the latest vid of JPF and Catherine Fitz…can’t seem to find it in member areas…anyone help me out with that?

    • Those recordings are not videos but audios, and you’ll find them in the members’ area under audios/podcasts

    Started today with this video from James Corbett, who I would think is know to many within this community. He has been talking about such issues – imposition of Govt controlled digital currency – for a while now. In trying to come to terms with ‘what is really happening’ with this global lockdown, I find this one has at least some credibility :)…[Read more]

    OK…questions: the whole community thing appears to work much like FB…selecting friends to follow, like etc. Am I correct in this assumption? Is there a limit to the number of friends? It’s a very big community…any tips on shortcuts to getting to know people here, or is that a follow your nose kind of thing? By posting ‘stuff’ should I expect…[Read more]

      I use the friend function to keep tabs on posts by members who post rarely but always post really interesting things. Keep and eye on blog posts as well as the forum, some members don’t really use the forum function. As a new member, I’d highly recommend “Member Dialogs” as well as the “Webinars” There are some amazing interviews as well as some…[Read more]

    As a newbie here I’m keen to get to know members…anyone with questions, queries, please just ask. It is all new to me, but I will try to get up to speed asap. I did try to become a full member, but had trouble navigating the correct pathway to payment; have had some issues with Oz bank in past few days, so that might be the problem…will keep trying!

    • Welcome Paul! You’ll get to know people at the vidchats, that’s the best way! Enjoy!
