Money & Markets

A Backstage Tour of The Pedophile Economy

In this episode of the Solari Report’s Money and Markets, hosts John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts delve into the explosive revelations from the recently released Epstein Files, providing an in-depth backstage tour of what Titus describes as the “pedophile economy.” The discussion highlights how Jeffrey Epstein’s extensive network spanning billionaires, politicians, academics, and media elites has come to light through three million DOJ-released documents, with another tranche still withheld. The hosts examine the two layers of documents—those released but redacted to avoid showing images of death and abuse, and those purportedly not collected during the raids on Epstein’s properties. They also explore the implications of Israel’s deep involvement in Epstein’s network, connections to major political figures like the Clintons and Trump, and how the Epstein network has potentially fueled global infrastructure projects using laundered money. Further discussions range from geopolitical turmoils, the intricacies of the dollar’s dominance, private credit risks, and the controversial Trump administration’s equity stakes in critical U.S. companies. The episode concludes with the latest on Ukraine, the dire status of cryptocurrency, environmental health hazards like glyphosate, and inspiring acts of defiance—including New Mexico’s truth commission on Epstein, and the journey of Buddhist monks walking for peace.

  1. In the end it always comes down to CAF’s red button story. The multitudes bet on winners with their finances to fatten their own portofolio’s then conveniently neglect they are also partaking in cattle managment of peoples. Isn’t the biggest fallacy that its the multitudes against the few?! In order for old gods to make a comeback, it needs big support in consent! One wonders how this massive release occured, was it a completely natural event? Is it a last “wakeup call” for humanity at large?

    My question to you Catherine, do you think Mr. Massie & co responsable for this dump had a push in their backs by Divine intervention? This dump is so massive and the reaction of madam Bondi and president Trumps @ look at the booming stockmarket, reeks of panic and narrative controll.

    1. The people who ran the Epstein operation have had the time to clean out the files and the money trails – remember DOJ never asserted control of Epstein’s files at all the properties. So the upstairs levels are ready to eject this like a rocket ejects a booster rocket. This piece is helpful to understand that an agent is a separate entity – can be ejected or amputated when ready. The Epstein operation was successful in putting Trump and their team in place in the White House, integrating their systems, stealing the data, consolidating control of the trillions stolen etc – the operation is ongoing, and is shedding lower layers like an old skin https://substack.com/@escapekey/p-187728899

  2. A note from the heartland (aka western Kansas) I talked to the FSA about CRP on Friday 13th. When chatting, she noted a different farmer had come in regarding CRP and he said that when he sat with his banker (an annual thing) to discuss operating loans the banker pointed out that 31 of their farmers were in some form of bankruptcy. So the ratio, how many farmers had loans in the portfolio is not clear and is this a restructure isn’t clear. But interesting none the less. Many of the farmers who are under 50 don’t have the equity in the land that their parents in their late 70s and 80s have. Another interesting note, is the land prices are holding, people are still buying and selling in the background. So it appears that real assets are not in this case, linked to the price of commodities or revenue from the real estate. The government payments and land locked in investment portfolios is likely playing a role.

    1. I should have added, Solari this M&M’s Bitcoin/Cryptos made me think at least a lustrum ago…. hearing M&M say Bitcoin etc. were created to get people distracted from investing on main street and in real asset classes. It was a place to take the average person’s money out of the economy.

  3. As to the timing and purpose of the release, Ernst Wolff answers the question, “Who actually benefits from publishing these files, because everyone is being dragged through the mud?” by suggesting that the plan behind it is to make people lose all trust in politics. So in America, it’s not just against the Republicans, but also against the Democrats. It’s also against the left. Noam Chomsky, for example, has been heavily discredited. A lot of leftists have always hung on his every word. So there’s a big clean-up going on, and all the idols are being destroyed to put people in a position where all those we have trusted so far, we must no longer trust them, in order to eventually tell the masses that trusting people is not good. Better to trust artificial intelligence.
    The plan behind it goes back to the plans of a man named Gurtis Jarvin. He’s one of the ideologues in Silicon Valley, and just like Peter Thiel and some others there, he dreams of a society that is more of a monarchical society, with the monarchy being replaced by artificial intelligence. So that’s the world we’re supposed to be led into.

  4. Solari Listeners; Catherine mentions a book in this episode. I found it at Thriftbooks, but didn’t finalize the order. Now, (lol) I can’t remember the book title. Does anyone remember the title? If not, I will re-listen to this week’s episode.
    Thanks

        1. Ah, by Michael Thomas. Great early description of the PROMIS software initial impact.
