Money & Markets

Mask Off

In this explosive episode of Money & Markets, Catherine Austin Fitts and John Titus dive deep into their “Mask Off” theme as institutional deception becomes impossible to hide. Trump’s approval ratings have plummeted 12 points in a single week following his administration’s refusal to pursue Jeffrey Epstein prosecutions while simultaneously appointing Epstein-connected officials to key positions.

John and Catherine expose a coordinated financial coup in progress, from the Fed’s surveillance of anti-ICE protesters to private equity firms like Blackstone and KKR gaining access to Americans’ 401(k) plans through new executive orders. Meanwhile, the stablecoin push represents a desperate attempt to maintain dollar hegemony as the BRICS nations accelerate de-dollarization efforts and China calls out Washington’s latest currency manipulation scheme.

From Moderna’s targeting of vulnerable children with new vaccine approvals to restaurants surveilling customers’ social media, the episode reveals how surveillance capitalism and organized crime tactics have become standard operating procedure. Catherine issues a rare storm warning about the scale of plunder coming, while John tracks the front-running of Trump’s trade announcements and the complete abandonment of financial market integrity.

Key topics include: Trump-Epstein connections destroying public trust, 401(k) private equity raids, stablecoin dollar imperialism, BRICS resistance strategies, Bohemian Grove decision-making, Thomas Massie’s Epstein files discharge petition, and why this represents the most dangerous phase of the ongoing coup.

  1. Catherine, how will Stablecoins interact with interest rates? And how does the Fed’s decision to lower/raise interest rates impact the dollar’s position as the world reserve currency? I get the sense that the Fed cannot lower rates because of inflation but also because their first priority is protecting their reserve currency status. But if they intend to encourage adoption of Stablecoins, I’m guessing that will be accompanied by a drop in interest rates? Offer cheap credit for those willing to adopt and use Stablecoins? And if they are successful, we people start purchasing homes with Stablecoin?

  2. Catherine, I’m loving my new account with Solari–great information. BTW, at around 104:00 you mention ATM expenses while traveling. In 2015, I set out to finally travel and found out from a YouTuber that if you get a Charles Schwab bank account, their debit card allows for withdrawing money from any ATM worldwide, then, they return your ATM fees to your Schwab checking account within 30 days. Schwab only has 1 bank. It’s in Nevada. Each account is a checking account backed by a brokerage account (rather than savings, like our bank and credit unions). This allows you to transfer money from your main bank, or credit union, over to the Schwab account. That way, you can use the funds, free of ATM fees. For several years, I would only transfer money that I was going to withdraw, and generally, keep no more than $1-$2 longstanding. While in Mexico and Central America, I saved about $4.50/ATM transaction.

  3. Can someone explain to me who gold is weaponized?
    Also someone in a chat suggested a book about the rape of Russia: does anyone/that individual have the name of that book?
    My saying is not take the Mask Off, but Take off the Horse Blinders and see what’s going on.

      1. Let me be clear, am I depressed or upset. NO…

        There system is crashing, it’s why there being draconian (ever more so). It will crash and burn as it is doing right now.

        A new system will be born, life will go on (free from whatever this robber baron demonic thing was) for the last however many hundred years.

        Your just watching it implode (in real time) and will there be pain yes…but pain is part of change and things… they are a changing.

  4. Saw a post from a lady who said she tried to explain crypto to her 9 year old daughter. The girl thought for a second and then said, “It sounds like you are trying to sell somebody your imaginary friend.” …..from the mouths of babes:)
