Zero-Sum Pump

Zero-Sum Pump: Grift, Market Manipulation, Tokenized Stocks & the Rising Control Grid | Money & Markets

John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts discuss a “zero-sum pump” casino economy where gains for insiders are subsidized and losses are dispersed through millions of retirement accounts.

They cover Trump’s stock buys before pausing tariffs, the Trump family’s crypto profits and UAE-linked World Liberty Financial deal amid weakened financial enforcement, and contrast this with FBI focus on “anti-capitalist” graffiti. They analyze a SpaceX “pump and dump,” index-fund inclusion shifting losses to workers, wealth inequality, and a historic low share of first-time homebuyers.

They warn of a new rising-rate cycle, elevated Shiller P/E, and argue tokenized stocks and stablecoins could expand 24/7 leveraged speculation to billions, enabling programmable control over stocks, bonds, and deposits. They also cover White Helmets in Venezuela, violence against women in the Army, Presbyterian divestment over Gaza, Ukraine war updates, prediction markets on wildfires, data center subsidies raising bills, de-Googling tips, and Solari updates including Jon Rappoport’s hospice news.

  1. Rob Braxman (available on Rumble.com) is a good one to check out for “De-Google-ing” your life.

    1. Hi, Marilyn,
      Yes, our family has been considering going to his brax virtual phones where you go back to phones in a few places in your house instead of carrying a mini computer around all day—I would love to hear from anyone who does those.

  2. Prosecution in the Kirk case testified maybe no more than 3 days ago that there’s no video of Robinson firing the trigger. Today: “glitch” in the system accidentally exposes the “note” that Robinson wrote to his boyfriend. Judge says no more showing evidence to public. Now they’re claiming that there’s evidence that Robinson pulled the trigger! All the usual crowd from e.g. the “get Trump his ballroom” thing are saying it’s the worst thing ever. (Even though other people in the courthouse say it’s super zoomed out)

    All of this is seriously, beyond unbelievable. They’re not trying at this point, they’ve stopped trying. I just hope they don’t kill the poor guy, Robinson I mean.

  3. Thanks for covering events following the quakes in Venezuela. Kit Klarenberg and your reporting about the white helmets raised an unsettling question in my mind. Were the earthquakes, manmade? After the Antarctic neurtrino project (Icecube) was said to have created the earthquakes in ChCh NZ over a decade ago, I do wonder. Maybe that’s something Catherine and Joseph are going to address in QII wrap-up – would welcome this. Thanks.

      1. I suspect more large earthquakes around the globe, some in areas not known for them. When there is a massive geopoliticial realignment shaking the world it includes physical, political & financial, and spiritual.

  4. Still trying to download the episode, but this has been a very sad morning. Jon Rappoport has passed. May he rest in peace.

  5. Well, I think peops realize that the retarded trump accounts aren’t worth it. Its a roach motel for your money, with no cash position allowed and no withdrawals until age 18. ?!? Who would sign on to that beats me. I guess tptb are concerned that nobody’s taking the bait. Just announced a new program allowing you to sign up for a trap, oops, I mean trump account when you saddle your infant with a slave tracking number, to whit:

    “Trump Accounts represent one of the most significant investments in the next generation of Americans in our nation’s history, providing American children with a strong financial footing for the future,” said SSA Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano. “Social Security numbers are the backbone of Trump Accounts, and we will empower parents to enroll their newborns through the Enumeration at Birth program to take full advantage of this program from the day a child is born. This effort aligns with SSA’s mission to provide financial security and support to the American people.”

    Ja, ja, ja, ji, ji, ji, jo, jo, Jo. Can’t stop laughing…

    This has caused some on the interwebs to connect trump accounts with digital ids and universal basic income. Wow, seems like peops have come a long way since swallowing da covered baloney.

  6. I truly admire the online illustrations/illustrator which accompany these posts. At times I am too obtuse to “get” the details, but they often make me think of NC Wyeth’s work. Has there ever been an interview or walk through of some designs by the illustrators themselves featured?
    Well done.

    1. This one was based on Puck Illustration. Look it up. It is a distinct style. I love NC Wyeth. We used to have all the books with his illustrations when I was a child. I bought some recently as some have been reissued. Some of his works is at the Brandywine Museum which is one of my favorite. Will let Robert know your suggestion!

  7. Very sad news about Jon Rappoport.

    Sorry for your loss, Catherine, and all of ours too. A real treasure.
