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.
