Money & Markets

Here We Go Again

Catherine Austin Fitts and John Titus frame the expanding Iran conflict as “COVID 2.0,” arguing it follows a template seen in Ukraine and Gaza: destroy infrastructure, then rebuild conditionally to embed Western financial rails, digital ID, and transaction control. They discuss Iran’s threats against major tech firms in the Gulf, reports of US bases being made uninhabitable, hypersonic missile impacts, fuel shortages and inflation, and concerns about market manipulation and insider trading tied to war news. The episode connects US legislative pushes (e.g., Clarity/Genius Acts), stablecoins, and tokenized markets to a broader move toward programmable money and 24/7 blockchain trading. They question ICE’s warehouse detention buildout, note deportations of Ukrainian men into military service, and highlight pressure from Stephen Miller in Idaho’s 287(g) fight.

  1. At 1:18, it is mentioned that a Login.gov or ID.me master login is required to view one’s Medicare account. I have found that this is still optional. However, I can no longer access my Social Security account or 2 privately held annuities without one of those master logins. The process of setting that master login account is blocking many seniors from future access. I learned this firsthand when, unable to set this up, I had to sit in a Social Security office for 2 hours in order to speak to one of the live reps left since Social Security staff has been downsized. They could look at my account but could not set up a Login.gov or ID.me account for me. They referred me to an 800 number for tech support that had a 6 hour wait time to reach a live person. When I tried years ago to get tech support to regain access to my annuities, I was referred to a person with an African first name and African accent who would not divulge their last name, and was of no help in setting up access. Clearly, seniors who have limited technical ability, or low tech equipment, or simply no interest in setting up a precursor to the digital ID, are being shut out of care. This supports the depopulation agenda. And those who do set up a master login have aggregated all of the towers of info, which surely pleases Musk’s DOGE and Palantir. BTW, my last visit to a new doc, I was surprised to have a list of my allergies read to me. I recognized the list as one that I had provided to a Military hospital at least 40 years ago, and that list was no longer valid. How long have they been working on this aggregation of information about individuals? How will it be used against us?

  2. The comments regarding Trump’s signature on the dollar bill coincide with my thoughts on the “No Kings” rallies. I’ve always thought that was kind of a lame meme.
    Until….I remembered that “Cash is King.”
    To continue to meme…the No King rallies were last weekend (the weekend of Palm Sunday). And, “Christ is King.”
    If they’re doing away with kings, does that mean Elvis has got to go too?;(

  3. Its being reported by standbyers that traffic is moving in the straits of hormuz. So, it sounds like more theater again to keep the agenda moving foward as planned.
    All these so called political leaders (actors) are working together.

    There is no need for a war unless you want to destroy current infrastructure, displace or kill populations , create fake shortages to tax the populations .

    1. Would love any links you have. I have been trying to determine how many boats and which one are moving through.

  4. Happy Resurrection Day.
    Catherine, Shawn Ryan interviewed Jeremiah Johnston who is a scholar on the historial Jesus and the events leading up to the Resurrection Day gives a great 3 hour discussion. He gives a great backdrop of that week events almost 2000 years ago that Christians now celebrate. The discussion also includes the Shroud of Turin.
    Also thanks for sharing on X Prof John Lennox video “The Mark of the Beast is not a Microchip”. Excellent observations. Technology has dimmed our relationship with the Divine. What or who is the Mark of the Beast? I do not know, but we do live in a world with many distractions that disallows “quiet times” for the spirit. This time of year with the warmer weather I enjoy opening my bedroom window before retiring so I can listen to the birds communicating with one another, especially in the early morning.
    He is Risen

  5. Who remembers the Mad Cow “disease”.? It was a farmer who began to notice the many cancers and the “bad” teeth among the young pple in the small town just outside of his farm. His cows were not “Mad”, just poisoned by the water they were drinking. The poisoning was coming from an upstream dump of waste water from an DuPont plant. A movie was made about that called -Dark Waters-. The story was also about the lone lawyer who took up the legal case against DuPone and won!
    The small town cancers from the Data Center run off’ is just 2.0 of the same story.
    Different industry…. I agree with Catherine, why aren’t the data centers required (held responsible for) having recycled cleaning facilities as part of their production.

    1. That one was in our collection in 2023 annual. Would be good for Movie of the week. Will post to the stack. Thanks!

    1. Good one. Posted. One of the most outrageous grifts by the Trump family.

  6. If you choose, as a defining feature of a Slavery Culture, the euthanasia of elderly dependent people, then the 2020’s UK is already there.
