Who’s in Charge Here?

John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts discuss their theme “Who’s in charge?” as geopolitical and market “theater” intensifies, focusing on Iran’s surprising strikes, the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed, Yemen’s Red Sea ban on Israeli-linked shipping, and the idea that the U.S. is banking on economic war while Iran pushes militarily, with central bankers and the bond market ultimately “calling the shots.” They argue capital is being funneled into war and a global control grid, citing proposals for federal equity stakes in AI firms, circular financing and bubble IPOs (OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX), attempts to force index-fund buying, and prediction markets paying influencers. They also cover Southern California military training, concerns about election rigging, oil inventory unknowns, campus AI surveillance cameras, Texas grid risks from data centers/crypto, a “universal” AI-designed vaccine trial, Albanian protests over a Kushner-backed resort, and Solari initiatives emphasizing bottom-up local action.

  1. My dear Catherine and Solari ,what does “Warren Buffett has 40% in cash ” mean …apologies for my ignorance ..I’m here to learn from scratch ! In fact I would LOVE a glossary to accompany show notes . with BIG LOVE AND GRATITUDE for ‘teaching me to fish’.

    1. Thank you for your question and thank you to Catherine’s answer. I did not innerstand what that mean’t

    2. It means instead of having their funds fully invested in stocks, bonds and companies his company Berkshire Hathaway has cashed out investments and is holding a large portion of cash to have available to buy if the market goes down and/or to buffer against a drop in prices as cash will not drop in price.

  2. I’m a deeply spiritual person but not a bible person so forgive me if I get this incorrect.

    Mathew 7:24-27 “About building your house on sand”.

    The bible is great about explaining human nature if you read it as parables.

    The control grid is being built on sand… it’s why the people in charge soo over react to every little thing that challenges it with such force.

    If it was built on rock they wouldn’t need force…

    The messed up part, they know that it will fail at some deep level.

    There just in such denial about it…

    Drunk with power.

    That’s why it is becoming more and more suicidal looking everyday.

    But life is forward..

    And the only way is always thru…

    No matter what is happening.

    Godbless…

    1. As man attempts to develop the control grid he is faced with Providence. Providence is an influence that is non human works in mysterious ways, embrace the journey have faith that the universe aligns for one’s highest good.

  3. The whole making the holcausters fashionable is likely the most surreal part of our current times.

    I take care of my elderly mother who still watches TV and is a bit too set in her ways for me to get her to stop. But they often just have interviews with Netanyahu like he is just some normal rational person. I just wonder if they had TV in the 1930s if you would see broadcast interviews of Himler and Gering like it was all just normal. It is so crazy.

    1. Prayers for your Mom. Used to have a dear friend in her ’80s. Deep into the TV. She really thought that Hillary Clinton was her friend.

  4. Solari understands that the AI stuff makes little sense. But the people setting up the control grid seem to be drinking the Kool Aid from 50 gallon drums.

    This AI security meltdown just happened at Instagram where you could get a hold of any Instagram account just by speaking to their support chatbot.

    https://youtu.be/Zob4a6SitZQ

    Meta has some of the smartest AI people out there who built many of the foundational models. If they can’t control security on something this important the disaster that is going unfold is going with agents will be near apocalyptic.

    But the psychosis among investors and their advisors is also wild. I just received this article from NFX that runs one of the biggest VC databases and the person who wrote this is certifiably looney tunes.

    1. Sigh…..Deeply grateful that we can help each other stay grounded.

  5. When the whole Covid started, my head said to me – “Here we go again”. I don’t know how these voice things pop in my head, but they do. Anyway I got very sick and I thought, this time it might be true. However things did not make sense, like evil Bill Gates directing pandemic policy. First I looked into the PCR tests and found out about Kary Mullis and his death. I dug more and more – my conclusion, Nazis. And I mean the real thing, not name calling. My more recent research and listening to Michael Yon and a few others, this is what I believe. Zionists are Christians, Jews and atheists, and probably more. Many drank the kool-aid, but the upper ones are satanic phycsopaths.

    Balfour did the Balfour Declaration in 1917, support for a Jewish homeland. Why would Balfour, who I understand was a Zionist and not Jewish, want a homeland for Jewish people? I now believe the whole holocaust was to use jewish people as a way to secure the Suez Canal.

    I think the Nazis are up to their old tricks. I am Jewish, not a Zionist and not an Israeli. I resent that these evil people try to wrap me up in their blanket.

    1. Lots of people feel exactly the same. They are hijacking the gay community to do surgery on and have sex with children. Hijacking the Jewish community to engineer a hate crime game and holocaust. And on and on. At the root it always involves divide and conquer.

    2. FROM: McDuff’s #UndoTheCoup, part 30, “Interview with Col. Towner-Watkins”
      – Taiwan, Pakistan and Israel –
      “So just in closing, one last thought. Post World War II, all of the maps that were redrawn in
      these countries made up out of whole cloth, every single one of them that was done is a node of destabilization.
      Anytime you have a node in a geographical area that you can light up as a destabilization force, you have instant war.
      So, if you look at Taiwan, Taiwan didn’t exist before World War II. That island was called Formosa. And you can argue about who owned it, Japan or China. It doesn’t matter. It was set up post World War II with a Chinese general called Chain Kai Sheck and the Opium Opium King. And Taiwan has been used as a destabilization in Asia since its creation.
      Israel is another one. It was set up post World War II and it has been a destabilization node ever since.
      Pakistan is another one. Pakistan did not exist until after World War II. We took part of Afghanistan. We take part of India. We create a brand new country, and the lines were drawn not where you could group tribal areas. It was drawn right through tribal areas. So now everybody’s pissed off at everybody. It’s another destabilization node.
      And that’s by the way, I was shocked, but a lot of the money that we shuffled to the ISI during the 1980s when we were funding PA Afghanistan supposedly was being shuttled into Pakistan’s nuclear program and w e largely funded that. And so now you have an Islamic country that has nuclear
      weapons, which by the way tried repeatedly to sell their nuclear capability to Iran.
      So if you again go back and read real history, not this crap that we were shoveled in school, it’s a lot more apparent what these international syndicate was doing.
      If I need a Middle East conflict, I’ve got I own Pakistan. I control it. I can get them to fight Afghanistan in the Kashmir or India or anywhere else.
      I basically control Taiwan anytime I want destabilization.
      Everything about Israel came from London. The Muslim Brotherhood came from London into Egypt in 1920s. So they have their hooks into everything that we’re dealing with today.
      And I just see the peace accords and all that other stuff dismantling the use of Pakistan in the peace negotiations with Iran when they’re the ones that was sending the nuclear stuff to them. So I just see all of this being addressed and most Americans can’t see that because they don’t know the real history.”

      1. Andrew, Thank you. Your post was good history lesson for me. I knew part of the story, but not the entire thing. And ‘nodes of destabilization’ never occurred to me.

        1. Please note that the Red Button story explains that 99% of the American people have been on board for helping the City as long as they could pretend they were moral and they got a big check. If you look at the stock portfolios of the majority of people in America they are happy to make big profits on building the control grid and laundering narcotics and sex trafficking funds. They don’t understand it is a honey trap and they will be relieved of their profits in due course.

          When we face that we start to shift and get real power. Jesus said, do unto others. I say, and finance unto others. Until we try to do our best to do so, it’s a cop out to blame the elites.

          1. The Crown, British Empire, and City of London are about to be expose on all their misdeeds against humanity including the recent mischief in the 2016 elections. I took note of the increase of attendance of 33% in the museum of Opium trade in China. Has China started a campaign of pulling back the curtains on England? To me, the big picture is City of London is being drained of dirty money to be laundered by them and their old ways of plunder and causing chaos in countries has died.
            London Bridges falling down
            London Bridge is falling down
            Falling down, falling down
            London Bridge is falling down
            My Fair Lady
            Off to prison you must go
            You must go, you must go
            Off to prison you must go
            My Fair Lady

            Well, I think the bees told Charles when he recently visited Wash DC that the power has shifted.

      2. The City of London has had their tentacles wrapped around many countries using them as their proxies to extract wealth. This has been going on for a last few centuries. The British Empire always takes away more than it gives. IMO Iran is not really about Iran, it is about the City of London

  6. I wonder if today’s world affairs is a reset but has more layers to it. So many people seem programmed and maybe are, to respond to power, greed and comfort addictions. Humanity is lead, especially in the western hemisphere, by people that only think in those terms no matter the (human) cost. Corruption surpassed the 100% long ago.

    Maybe the idea is to have “conflicted programming” within all of the most programmed humans, so they can curb a cosmic holocaust by shutting them down in personnal disarray! Lawfull and unlawfull sides both benefit from quieter times. The unlawfull side could do with less (humans) and more contained corruption, especially by not triggering self fulfilling prophesies.

    A reset of desperation if you will. I know this runs contrary to the idea that “end time prophesies” is evangelic truth all around (after all Muslims have their version thru the Mahdi), but I think the spiritual center of humans is about keeping the Holy Spirit within humans alive thru the Lord and his Son. That always takes precedence in any fight of any sort.

  7. Seeing the comments on Holocaust, depopulation, and the link to Cambridge UK, I’ll offer the following insight.
    For the years 2015-2019 the average annual deaths for England and Wales were 530,000. In recent years deaths were around six standard deviations above that average. Occasionally, the weekly number was something in the order of the deaths in Ukraine from Russian shelling.
    Somehow, nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.
    This year, 2026, it seems to me that these excess deaths might fall to 30,000 or so pa. I have no idea what might have changed.

    1. Suspect it is a combination of things. People focusing on what they can control. And neurowarfare – I find a portion of the US population is in a trance. Take a look at Planet Mind Control – will be move of the week this summer.

    2. There is an offsetting rise in consciousness and love in the collective that is not included in all the bad news. Let’s be more a part of that than fear.
