“Maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all.”
John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts discuss escalating war with Iran and argue the U.S. role lacks national interest, citing Trump’s conflicting statements and ally refusals to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz while European states negotiate with Iran. They review reported Iranian strikes damaging U.S. KC-135 tankers and bases, carrier strike groups pulling back, evacuation warnings for Iraq, and banks closing offices in Qatar/Dubai after threats tied to a Tehran bank bombing. They warn oil, LNG, and fertilizer disruptions could drive inflation, recession, rationing, and food instability, while the U.S. deploys Marines and draft talk resurfaces. They also cover a court quashing DOJ subpoenas of Fed Chair Powell, delays in a Trump-Xi meeting, accelerating stablecoin/AI deregulation efforts, a “CBDC ban” with a 2030 sunset, moves to shield Bayer/Monsanto from glyphosate liability, and Idaho sheriffs helping defeat a mandatory ICE-contract bill, plus charts showing rising energy prices and market stress.

I love the dynamic between Catherine and John. Love when they disagree! Both are so knowledgeable and self-assured. Disagreeing without malice or injury, it’s great. Plus hearing two viewpoints. Love it, love it!
totally agree 🙂
Did John not long ago move? You Americans seem really nomadic LOL.
I wonder how much the middle east war is just meant to be scorched earth?
The US looks to be asserting control with a heavy hand on the Americas. Not just Venezuela and Cuba, but now Greenland and Trump’s early signals of making Canada part of the US, that they are just saying ok if you want a multipolar world, all this is ours, oh and by the way, we are going to smash up everything on the way out.
We had Mossad caught trying to blow oil facilities, but that is part of the smash. It is essentially what they have been doing to Russia with the Ukraine war.
The middle east is getting the Syria and Libya treatment. If we can’t have the oil, neither can anyone else. I am wondering if they will blow all the desalination plants just to smash. Certainly easier to create a greater Isreal if no one is living there. It would be horrific if it happens but what lines haven’t been crossed already.
Right, I agree. I think the strategy is scorched earth. When an army is forced to retreat, they usually burn everything on their way out so it takes their opponent time and resources to rebuild.
All other justifications are just cover for the main goal. And it is an easier strategy to accomplish than occupation or regime change. That’s why it doesn’t matter the US cant win a ground war in Iran. It doesn’t have to. Like you said, a few mystery missiles to a desalination plant and it is done. It is a horrific thing to imagine.
Also, as we need some deflation to bring down our inflation, I wonder what the next deflationary event will be.
Regarding the fake accounts and entrainment. My YouTube feed has been flooded these stealing many interviews from the actual channels and then repackaging them. It is now difficult to find real channels.
Also regarding entrainment. They are definitely using something. I sometimes try to watch “military summary channel” which is basic just a guy updating the front lines map in the Ukraine war. Everything I try to watch this on YouTube I find that I start falling asleep and can barely keep my eyes open 5min in. It doesn’t matter what time of day.
Sounds likely. Thanks for this feedback.
As I listen to the critique of the Iran war and the Trump administration, there are some questions to consider…Does the USA have treaty obligations to defend Israel? It seems the USA always comes to the defense of Israel. What should the US response be to a nation that states it’s goal is to destroy the West and actively plans to do so? My son reported this from personal experience as an officer in the marines who served combat duty in Afghanistan. These Muslims are determined to destroy the West. Seems only fair to ask what actions would protect American interests, the future of freedom and sovereignty.?
Lastly, is or should America be morally concerned about the Irani people being murdered by the religious leaders in Iran? Or is that an internal matter of no concern to any other nation?
Your thoughts? Is the US Postal Service debacle intended to force digital, and make us go along with programmable money to get along?
Catherine (and all subscribers with an informed opinion), what are the three most critical vulnerabilities of any corporation?
As always, thank you and John for building civilization’s most important asset: a reliable fund of knowledge.
