Money & Markets

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.

  1. Regarding that Blue Origin explosion, I used to live on Merritt Island in a high rise overlooking Cape Canaveral and would listen to control on local TV while watching the launch from my windows. I became extremely familiar with that operation. I’d also explored the launch pad you saw, having special access. I can tell you for sure that I doubt that there were zero casualties or injuries. But people are expendable when there is a greater mission, so we see. I hate to be so cynical, sorry.

  2. I don’t think Kraft mayonnaise has bio-engineered ingredients. I bought Hellman’s olive oil mayo and it has bio-engineered ingredients. I returned it after hearing your review. I found Kraft olive oil mayonnaise at another store and it did not have bio-engineered ingredients listed. I like Kraft mayo better, but the ingredients aren’t all the best. Kroger stopped carrying Kraft mayonnaise after years.
    I’m in Dallas TX.

    1. I highly recommend making your own condiments. Better quality, exact quantities, freshness, always cheaper! There are many resourceful ways to do this. I think it is very helpful and cost effective!

  3. Catherine,
    Regarding 401Ks, I was listening closely for your advice and I think you recommended I tell my 401K manager “don’t do this.” My question is, what exactly do I not want him to do? Don’t invest my money in anything that may cause you to need liability protection from me? That seems too broad. Please help.

  4. Dear Catherine and John, I am so glad you were on Money and Markets this week. I feel more confident after listening to your take on what is going on in government and finance. There is so much going on that is not visible to the public. Not knowing that puts us at a real disadvantage. I know that is an understatement, but clarity is important.

  5. I can’t get the video to work. Also, is there a private way to reach out? I had an idea I wanted to run by.

  6. The Space X IPO is such a farce. Watching short clips of Scott Galloway read quotes from the filing are coffee spitting good. Watching the media and Wall Street gin up “interest” is predictable, but disheartening.

    Catherine and John could easily fill 30-60 minutes on this IPO GRIFT! That would be entertainment gold!

  7. If you are over 59, you can convert your 401k into precious metals via Birch Gold or Lear Capital.

    1. Before you do, please make sure to do proper due diligence, starting with Tucker carlson’s documentary on Gold IRAs and check out the links in our 2024 Equity Overview if you are new to gold.
