Thomas Massie Loss Could Help Him Even More than If He Won, Because Everybody under 65 Is Saying We Had It

Money & Markets

Not Even a Little Bit

In this May 20 Money & Markets episode of the Solari Report, Catherine Austin Fitts and John Titus use Trump’s “not even a little bit” remark as a theme to discuss shifting realities in geopolitics, finance, and domestic governance. They argue the Iran war narrative is collapsing as reports say Iran has restored access to over 90% of missile sites while the U.S. has expended major stockpiles, and they examine why economic sanctions and a $40B Hormuz reinsurance plan are failing. They review Trump’s cool China reception and Taiwan rhetoric, rising U.S. bond yields versus cheaper Chinese capital, oil “pipe fill” risks, and attacks on U.S. firms in Ukraine. They cover election dynamics around Thomas Massie, prediction-market “laundering,” expanding biometric controls (SNAP), power diversion to data centers, and Apple’s Lockdown Mode, ending with upcoming Solari briefings on programmable money.
