Summary
Catherine Austin Fitts warns that the U.S. is rapidly constructing a digital control grid that threatens financial freedom, health sovereignty, and civil liberties. She criticizes both Trump and RFK Jr. for reinforcing centralized control via mRNA technology, digital currency systems, and data collection under the guise of reform. Fitts calls for local, individual action to resist centralized systems, support analog alternatives like cash, and invest in decentralized, ethical enterprises.
Digital Control Grid
-
The central banks, led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), are pushing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) with programmable restrictions, surveillance, and tax enforcement.
-
BIS head Agustín Carstens confirms CBDCs allow “absolute control” over who uses money and how.
-
The Real ID system, vaccine passports, and Starlink satellite tracking are components of a comprehensive surveillance system, enabling individualized restrictions based on behavior or social credit.
-
Fitts calls CBDCs a modern slavery system—worse than historical slavery due to its invasive, bio-digital reach.
Political Co-optation & Betrayal
-
Fitts criticizes RFK Jr. for promoting mRNA technologies and appointing questionable figures like Casey Means as Surgeon General.
-
She accuses both Trump and RFK of misleading their base, stating they’ve reinforced, rather than dismantled, the pharmaceutical-industrial control grid.
-
Critics like Dr. Mary Talley Bowden and Naomi Wolf argue these appointments betray campaign promises.
-
RFK’s pledge to oppose Big Pharma is undermined by policy choices supporting mRNA and centralized healthcare.
Financial Manipulation & Privatization of Data
-
Programs like D.O.G.E. (Department of Government Efficiency), led by Elon Musk, are seen as Trojan horses—claiming to cut government waste while redirecting funds to defense contractors like SpaceX and Tesla.
-
Fitts warns that privatizing government financial data through AI systems like Grok and Palantir enables enforcement of social credit and programmable money.
-
The administration canceled inspector generals and ethics officers, removing internal checks on this data redirection.
Solutions & Resistance
-
Fitts urges individuals to use cash, divest from corrupt institutions, avoid real IDs, and support local farmers and ethical businesses.
-
She highlights the power of “shunning”—withdrawing financial and moral support from entities enabling digital tyranny.
-
Emphasizes reinvesting in people, local enterprise, and independent health care.
-
Warns that systemic change won’t come from within “the box” (political appointees), but from grassroots behavior and financial redirection.
Geopolitical Implications
-
The U.S. lacks sovereignty in finance and information, with Israeli-first policies influencing key decisions.
-
A potential U.S.–Saudi nuclear deal without Israel normalization signals a shift in geopolitical power, though Fitts is skeptical until funding for war ends.
-
The shift from soft power to hard power, visible in Gaza, is a model for global enforcement—enabled by digital control tools.
Philosophical Perspective
-
Fitts believes the “currency of the future is trust and relationships,” not centralized financial instruments.
-
She calls for a paradigm shift, rejecting incremental reform and embracing decentralization, self-reliance, and mutual support.
-
Her investment philosophy favors companies with moral integrity and strong community ties over speculation in Wall Street or Bitcoin, which she views as hijacked and compromised.
