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.

Yes Catherine, even some of us older like me fixing to be 71, totally rejects the Uniparty. Maybe you know the right people to start the BLUE RED Party. With a strong set of bylaws of no duel citizenship, no APAC money or foreign government money, and I am sure you could put in a few more bylaws. Thinking of what you covered on oil, I need to go buy some for my tractor and my truck. Farming must go on. Well Wishes Catherine and John. Catherine I want be able to make the TN meet and greet, my farm want let me, that is picking day. I sent you a hug via Mary.
Love the idea!
A legitimate, truly grassroots third party is definitely needed that isn’t hopelessly fringy (like the Green Party) or fake, like No Labels…
A party that Massie fans would want to join after seeing what happened to him, in a nutshell.
I just watched Tucker Carlson’s interview with Owen Benjamin and found it relevant, forthright, entertaining and uplifting. I didn’t know who Owen Benjamin was, but a friend recommended the interview to me, and I want to recommend it too.

Interesting data point:
Paul Singer not only spent a lot of money to defeat Massie, he also led opposition to student loan cancellation through his Manhattan Institute, which wrote a key oppositional amicus brief to the Supreme Court (while taking Clarence Thomas on luxury fishing trips to Alaska).
He’s also a major funder of the Judicial Crisis Network, which backed the group that filed the lawsuit opposing cancellation.
Hmmm…
Wonderful interview, especially interesting to me was the demograpics that show how the younger population, who grew up with technology, is seeing through the lies. They want a future. A real future.
My comment however, is also about the picture used for the latest Money & Market ‘Not even a little bit’, which is clearly AI and it bothers me. The hands are some blended AI monstrosity and lighting is completely off. I paint and immediately notice that the reflection of the day light on the wall, the coffee table, items on the shelves and the tell-a-vision screen can never exist like this. AI has no understanding of how the light falls in a room and the effects it create. I do hope you will be more inspired with picking suitable photos or paintings for the excellent interviews and stay away from AI slop.

This week’s analysis brought a couple of points to mind:
1. More war analysis from the Duran. https://rumble.com/v7a9d50-iran-impasse-trump-wants-airstrikes-as-us-stockpiles-depleted.html?e9s=src_v1_clr%2Csrc_v1_ucp_a
2. Back in 2020/2021, M&M noted, due to “pandemic” money printing/spending there would be inflation until 2030. At the time, I went to look at war spending and over the last 100 years or so, every war ends with a number of years of significant inflation that follows. It would be interesting if M&M re-evaluated inflation forecasts ….
3. Israel may want “US boots on the ground in Iran”, but I don’t see that happening. What I can imagine is some sort of sudden statement like “look we worked it out” but the entire matter falls out of the news cycle like Ukraine. Shortly thereafter huge national defense authorization acts that feed into the military industrial complex to replace war inventory.
That IED in the reservoir story seems quite similar to this giant vat of toxins that is about to explode or spill in Orange County, CA.
Paper mill just exploded in Washington, claiming the lives of at least 11 souls. May God have mercy on our country.
