The Plan Is Insane

John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts record on November 4 around John’s theme, “The Plan Is Insane,” Senator Chris Murphy’s verdict on the Iran war plan he was briefed on. They open with the midterm results, which they read as a rejection of the control grid and the data-center push rather than a mandate for either party. Then the plan itself: Trump channeling Boris Yeltsin, his contradictory clips on gas prices, the Pentagon’s plan to keep bases running if the civilian grid goes down, Peter Thiel’s sudden break with the Iran war set against Palantir’s double conflict of interest, Christine Lagarde’s early exit from the ECB ahead of a possible Le Pen presidency, and Navy deployments stretched to 11 months. Anthropic’s S-1 lists “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity” among its risk factors while asking investors for about $100 billion: investor-assisted suicide, as they put it. They cover Americans putting groceries and gas on credit, the unanswered questions in the Palm Beach Learjet crash footage, Israel killing police officers in Gaza, and MEP Dominik Tarczyński on the fight over Poland’s currency. In Hey Robot: Trump backs AI self-regulation, 50 companies worth over $25 trillion reject tokenization, and Binance probes what may be the biggest crypto heist ever. Then Pharmageddon (CVS pays $315 million over opioid prescriptions), pushback against Adobe and a Kentucky data center, and Solari In House: Taylor Hudak and Tim Caban on getting your retirement savings out of data centers, Tom Shaw’s pushback poetry, Friday’s video with Congressman Thomas Massie, a warning about imposters, and the November 12 meet and greet in Burlington, North Carolina. They close on one point: a rejection is not a mandate. Next week Catherine joins from Thailand.
