Gun Bans and Detention Camps In a Drone Panopticon – What Could Go Wrong?

Join John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts on this episode of the Solari Report’s Money & Markets as they discuss ‘Gun Bans and Detention Camps in a Drone Panopticon: What Could Go Wrong?’ The conversation examines the militarization of control grids under Trump’s administration, issues surrounding the Second Amendment, and the opacity and privatization of power structures. They delve into recent events involving the killing of an armed civilian by DHS, Trump’s contentious remarks on gun control, and the political fallout. The discussion expands to include Epstein-related revelations, Israeli influence on U.S. politics, financial market manipulations, the global economic terrain, Ukraine’s financial strains, and the ominous expansion of detention centers. Additionally, insights are shared on emerging technologies, weather manipulation, AI in the military, pushback initiatives, and the role of communal actions like tool libraries in disaster resilience.

  1. John mentions the mega warehouses he saw near Fort Wayne airport. I would agree with his comment regarding detention camp usage at these locations. I have been driving from the Northeast to Miami every winter, back and forth, since 2006 and over the past five years I’ve noticed these massive warehouses popping up right off I-95 in North Carolina, New Jersey and Florida and had the same thought. And my second thought was they have been built in plain sight; not in some rural and remote location. Accessible for easy round-up of dissenters? The audacity of these people is mind-numbing.

  2. I drive all over the South for business. I have long had the same thought John had about the need for these massive distribution facilities all over the place. They are everywhere. Many of them new and empty – as in no tractor trailer trucks. I too wondered why we needed so many even with the understanding of the push to stay home and have everything delivered to a 15 min walkable city (now called “freedom” cities). I often travel the same routes and have yet to see these distribution centers open for business. I began to wonder if some of them were actually data centers designed to look like distribution centers.

  3. Thank you for mentioning Rainmaker. They are very well organized and financed. They sent a young man from California to our legislative session hearing last spring here in MT. where we tried and failed to pass a ban on cloud seeding and geoengineering.

    The Rainmaker representative failed to identify himself as an out of state corporate representative on the required sign in sheet for speaking before the legislative committee when pushing his pro-cloud-seeding agenda. I have seen video of Rainmaker employees testifying at legislatures across the country.

    If you have folks in your state working to ban geoengineering please warn them about the Rainmaker people who are less than transparent about where they are from and what they are up to.

  4. In my small neighbourhood, three (!) day cares opened within a small time frame. As I drive around Edmonton (the capital city of Alberta), day cares have been popping up everywhere. They all have obscured windows, swipe-key entrance codes, and heavy doors without windows. I don’t see an increase in children of daycare age in the parks around my neighbourhood, or the city in general. The birth rates in my province are down and almost all the new housing are single dwelings.

    I’ve become convinced that these “day cares” a front for child/human trafficking.

    Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

  5. Hi Catherine and John,

    First, thanks for your great content, I really am appreciating it as a new subscriber. It’s a real breath of fresh air.

    I’m a 22-year-old preparing for the Catholic priesthood and I (obviously) take issue with the assertion that the confessional was used as a tool of control similar to Epstein etc. I majored in political science and philosophy and am very deeply interested in power and how it functions, and I also watch your show so I hope you can trust that I’m not naive but also not pushing some agenda.

    I think the fundamental assumption I’d question is that all power is universally corrosive. Basically the assumption is that if someone has information that could be leveraged over another, then it will be. You could think that this is something we’ve only now figured out and that the Catholics of old were naive but actually this is one of the oldest questions of philosophy. Plato talks about it in the Republic when he considers whether someone given a ring that makes him invisible would immediately start doing terrible things, murdering, seducing, spying etc.

    This is what made (and makes) Jesus as a religious figure profoundly attractive to people, because this problem is central to the human condition. He is basically the perfect example of uncorruptable power. He claimed to be the Son of God and had infinite power, which he did not use for any end other than what God wanted him to do, even when he endured infinite suffering. However, because of his obedience, he overcame the most infinite corruption, which is death. That is the source of the Christian logic that there is nothing more powerful than obeying God in an uncorrupted way, even to death. Especially this means there is no “bad means justify the good ends” in Christianity.

    The belief is then that the Catholic Church, consisting of the followers of Jesus, is going to be protected from total corruption. Not individual corruption or even systemic at some level but institutionally. This is in the Gospels and is a very important part of Catholic belief, esp Mt. 16:18. Look — obviously that seems supernatural (and it is), but I’d say that probably within the past month there have been things revealed to the public far more difficult to believe than that there would actually be any institution incapable of being totally corrupted.

    This was long and pretty rambly but it’s something I’m passionate about because again this is sort of my specialty as someone who studies power and the world and has a belief in the Church.

    Thanks!

    1. Congratulations Peter on your calling to the priesthood. About 20 years ago, my wife was called back to her childhood faith and she agrees with you about questioning CAF assertion. Someone who has no experience or ability to experience the Sacrament cannot really know the truth of it, that it is a Sacrament and if God wills it, a person will truly experience that it does what it claims to do.
      I do agree that confessionals might be used to pass along information. For instance, the Catholic presence in the Holy Land is very active and aware of the situations in Isreal and have been for a long time. So, if you take a look at what is happening right now in Isreal, with the largest and last Christian settlement in the West Bank taken over officially by the settlers, it would make sense that information regarding the goings on can be passed along in a confessional in order to help the people. However, suffice it to say, I don’t think that the confessional is being used to discuss the sale of human organs, etc. I also know that the confessional is used to reconcile people who have caused grave harm to others and being too late to repair the wrong and in order to alleviate their guilt, through confession, be given the penance to contribute a substantial donation to a charity— a Catholic one for sure, perhaps for maintenance of a Catholic hospital who treats all people and for free if necessary. Perhaps to fund the Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem?
      Donations are also accepted from any Solari member!

      1. Monty:

        What is the best thing to read or watching on ” largest and last Christian settlement in the West Bank taken over officially by the settlers”

        Thanks,

        Catherine

    2. Peter:

      I very much appreciate your approach.

      My initial experience with the Catholic Church showed mostly the dark side. However, over many years I have seen the other side which is as you describe. So IMO it is a mixed bag. This is the problem that all of our institutions are facing. They manage in a world that is financially dependent on illegal businesses – it threads throughout just about everything. If you watch Godfather I, II and III, I believe it does a good job of describing these issues. If you are interested in the dark side, you might want to check out the writings of Malachi Martin

      https://www.thriftbooks.com/a/malachi-martin/201013/?mkwid=%7Cdc&pcrid=77103423235419&pkw=%2Fa%2F&pmt=bb&slid=&product=&plc=&pgrid=1233652314947784&ptaid=dat-2328903066785627:loc-190&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Bing%20%7C%20Search%20%7C%20Dynamic%20Search%20Ad%20Test&utm_term=%2Fa%2F&utm_content=%7Cdc%7Cpcrid%7C77103423235419%7Cpkw%7C%2Fa%2F%7Cpmt%7Cbb%7Cproduct%7C%7Cslid%7C%7Cpgrid%7C1233652314947784%7Cptaid%7Cdat-2328903066785627:loc-190%7C&msclkid=dc277044ddf21b47594819c98bbf8d4c

      1. Thank you Catherine. Had no idea The Godfather had those themes, I’ll watch this weekend. And I’m well aware of Fr. Malachi Martin’s works, though I’ve also not yet had the chance to read them. I’d say if you’re interested in going to the deeper level — i.e. the angelic and demonic warfare surrounding us — that would be at the core.

  6. (1) Agreed most of your arguments about our government’s impotence in dealing with debt issues and other major agendas. However, I am a bit surprised that many people who see the problems our government praising how good Chinese Communist Government has been doing in planning against us, ie their monetary strategies and defense plans … etc. While I agreed with the problems with our governments, the corruptions and problems that Chinese governments have domestically might be 100 times dire if we use the same standard that we used to criticize our systems to the China.

    (2) Speaking of the drones, I believe the numbers of a million per year is quite normal. Those are highly consumable low tech drones not the high tech ones such as MQ- 9 or MQ-4C. Those frontline drones have very high consumption rates. While the war breaks out, we might face the problems to locate those parts. That’s why we need to build up the volumes for preparing a war. I think saying it is intended to use for domestic is a bit far reach IMHO.

  7. So glad to find this conversation. In my own journey searching for trustworthy public officials, I was moved to donate $ to Thomas Massie last month…something I have not done in, literally, years.

    Sad that such points of light are so rare today, but very pleasing see that vibe echoed here…

    Great Minds…

    🙂
