American Psychos

John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts frame the episode around “American Psychos,” comparing public officials’ cheerful talk of violence and confiscation to American Psycho, then discuss Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent bragging about seizing Iranian crypto and properties without due process. They react to Bill Pulte, a real estate executive, being named acting Director of National Intelligence, and to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s $5 million donation to House Republicans amid scrutiny over ties to Jeffrey Epstein. They connect the “PayPal Mafia,” Rothschild networks, Israel, BlackRock, Palantir, and programmable money to an emerging automated “third lock” that can block or seize transactions via code, funded by rule changes affecting 401(k)s, Nasdaq indexing for SpaceX, and proposed DOL safe harbors for private equity and crypto. They also cover shrinking SPR reserves, Hormuz disruptions and recession risk, rising hunger and insurance claim denials, SEC delays on tokenized stocks, Ebola vaccine funding, the “Enhanced Games,” and pushback on US-Israel military integration and AI in schools.
