Money & Markets

Full Speed Behind

In this episode of Money & Markets, Catherine Austin Fitts and John Titus discuss the turbulent economic landscape amidst tariff wars and gold price surges. They delve into the inefficacy of current policies, the rising costs of goods, and the story of Ford’s CEO realizing how far American auto manufacturing has fallen behind China.

As Trump’s approval ratings drop, they examine the DOJ’s controversial Leticia James indictment and the significant fallout of recent federal actions.

They also explore the global political and economic dynamics, including the impact of Chinese tariffs on rare earth minerals and the implications for the U.S. defense sector. Additionally, the episode covers local opposition to data centers, legislative efforts to block programmable money, and the growing sentiment against Israel amid its conflicts.

Key details about the state of the U.S. auto industry, rising security concerns, and practical advice on adapting to the changing economic environment are thoroughly discussed.

  1. Just a few comments about Gov. Chris Christy.
    Gov. Christy was on a short list for Donald Trump to be considered as Vice President. Trump decided on Pence instead of Christy. Ever since then I have not heard one positive word from Christy about President Trump.
    Christy blamed Trump for getting covid and had to spend a week in intensive care. Christy has taken the stand that it was Trump’s fault for January 6th. He even said “it was fair game” for the raid on Mar A Lago. Is Christy a good Republican? Maybe a good RINO or a good member of the Uniparty. Remember has Governor of NJ he closed down the beaches due to a State budget shut down and then decided to take his family to the beach.

    1. Why applaud either of these characters? They both are of similar cloths. Aside from some of his unscrupulous dealings as Governor (shutting down beaches and bridgegate, he fell out of grace with Trump, probably under pressure from his son-in-law due to Christy prosecuting Jarad’s father for his crimes and misdemeanors. There is no good guy here though.

    2. Trump was absolutely to blame for Jan 6. Hands down. He suckered hundreds of thousands of people to come to Washington or participate for an entrapment run by his administration.
      Disagree on the timing when Christy started to pull away from Trump – and certainly don’t know the details of why he came to the conclusion that Trump was not trustworthy. Except he is right. Trump is not.
      Trump is the man leading the marketing of the digital control grid. He is implementing the control grid and tearing up the Constitution as fast as possible. Since I do not intend to be a slave, I am not a supporter. I voted for Trump three times – two times because he was leading the Republican ticket. I don’t expect to ever vote for him again. If the story about the beach is true, not wonderful. Christy deserves a strike for that.
      In the meantime, wish you would spend your time getting cash and state legislation adopted instead of wasting time defending uniparty puppets who are implementing fascism for megadonors.

      1. Greetings
        I don’t think the January 6th event is closed yet. IMO the reason many hundreds of thousands of people braved the freezing day in Washington DC was not about hearing Donald Trump but to demonstrate the 2020 election was filled with fraud. Joe Biden getting 81 million votes was a joke on the American people not Donald Trump. People wanted VP Pence to recognize the 6 states on having possible fraud voting especially with the mail in votes. But Pence ignored the 6 states and pushed aside Ted Cruz solution to have a 10 day emergency audit before taking election certification vote. This is what the Brunson Supreme Court case is about as almost 400 Congress people voted not to live up to their oath and not listen to any proof of election fraud. IMO this has never been about Donald Trump, it is about the American people deserve a honest election and not a coup.
        Did the Jan 6 committee do an honest investigation? It was Speaker Nancy who selected the committee members, both Democrats and Republicans. Who was their first witness? Kash Patel, who told the committee that President Trump offered Speaker Nancy and the Mayor of Washington DC to have 10,000 National Guard for security. It was turned down. When the committee presented their report it did not include Kash Patel testimony. The Jan 6th Committee didn’t have the U.S. Capitol Police Chief, Steven Sund, testify about the events as he was pressured by Speaker Nancy to resign on January 7th for failure of security leadership. However the January 6 report did include Cassidy Hutchinson, White House staff member, testimony that President Trump leaped from the backseat of a vehicle and grabbed the steering wheel from the hands of the secret service and demand to be taken to the Capitol.
        And where are all the January 6th Committe files now? They got lost. And out of the over 4200 pardon given by the Autopen President 9 pardons were given to the members of the January 6 Committee. Why were they given pardons?
        Just recently it was released that Jack Smith obtained phone records of 8 members of Congress covering the January 6th time period. Yes, the same Jack Smith who raided Mar A Lago and planted top secret folders and surveyed Melanie and Baron’s bedrooms. If President Trump did know that there were plans to agitate the large crowd and it would not surprise me if a small group of military people scooped up a few laptops and placed hidden listening devices in different offices.
        I see Russia has sent Rep. Luna their JFK files, do they have more files of other events that would be in American interest? Maybe some files about Ukraine. Maybe the White House can provide files about the plunder of the Soviet Union to Russia and the Western banks and players who benefitted financially and created extreme hardship to many Russians, especially the elderly. I am sure many of the plunderers are still living.
        What a time to be alive, be a good cheer

        1. Who is your State Rep? Who is your State Senator? Do you even know? Get off the uniparty trendmill, Bob. Join the 60 Day Cash Challenge See the home page.

          1. I have been using cash for years and paying monthly bills by checks, do not have a smart meter on the house (costs me $50 a month extra) and only have a cheap flip phone. But yes, I have sinned ordering products on Amazon. And Catherine if you have need of any copper pennies to pay in cash let me know as I have been saving copper pennies for 25 years preparing for the day when copper pennies are taken off the market. I understand pre 1982 penny is now worth over 3 cents.

            I am reading about the new 90,000 sq. ft. (150 X600) White House ballroom and I am wondering if it is going to have a basement. If it does are they going to find bodies that have been buried on the White House grounds?

          2. Good for you on cash and flip phones.
            Good question re bodies. You never know. With underground tunnels, should be no need to bury on the grounds.

  2. Is this worthy of Pharmageddon? The documentary “The Food Cure” follows 6 patients over 7 years (approx 2010-17).  Max Gerson’s story on building immunity and fighting cancer is amazing.  Here is where Pharmageddon fits in.  In 1955, a Bill that would finance Max Gerson’s approach that was considered the most promising answer to Cancer at the time, was voted down by only 4 votes in the Senate.  Repeated pleas to provide scientific testing went unanswered.  The documentary shows many eye opening aspects including how it is made illegal to attempt methods like this.  I watched the documentary on Gaia.com.

  3. It appears not a single big major player has ever been brought up on charges since before 9/11. This just encourages those old satanists and their younger developing progeny. There are now so many. We’re toast. A slight glimmer of hope came in the mail today from Lt. General Michael Flynn on behalf of AMAC. They are pushing for real indictments–not just talk. Instead of the going nowhere finger pointing/wagging going on in these comments how about getting behind some real indictments?

    1. Bondi and Homeland Security are going after poor people and bit players. Message is clear. I am seeing real progress at state level and selected players at the Fed level. Find the freedom fighters and support them. Tired of having hundreds of people financing the control grid telling me it is hopeless. Do you want to finance a financial rebellion or a financial coup – millions of citizens can shift the state of play. Good time to enjoy the 60 day cash challenge https://solari.com/the-solari-60-day-cash-challenge/

  4. Americans have simply lost their immune response to Old World disease. Being a first generation immigrant from the Old World, it’s obvious to me but seems not to most Americans that America (the autochthonous American worker’s productivity, ingenuity and credit worthiness) is the fattest, juiciest, most loaded up bank vault worth robbing on planet Earth. America will always attract the most sophisticated, capitalized and degenerate thieves on planet Earth. It has since before 1775. The current system output tells who those thieves are today. Therefore, no surprise, preserving the Republic and the Constitution requires a deliberate and continuous effort to do so by every American (without expectation of immediate material gain). Most people can’t control their envy enough to do that. Only persons motivated by something other than “money” can preserve the Republic and Constitution: Christians faithful to the actual teachings of Jesus, not the cliff note version. Sorry to offend whoever is offended, but that’s an empirically verifiable fact. Go look up the bios and life outcomes of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. At present, I think we have 1 + (2 x 1/2) members of the federal legislative branch that fit the required description. For some reason the chief officer of the federal executive branch wants to chase that whole 1 out of Congress. So, there’s that.

    Thank you for your tireless defense of American liberty,

  5. Dear Catherine,
    I humbly ask that you reconsider your harsh condemnation of Reiner Fuellmich.
    I followed him closely the entire time he was interviewing experts about the the Covid-19 pandemic. I thought he did an excellent job of presenting the alternative perspectives on the injustices and criminality the public was being subjected to by false, sold out authoritarians wishing to cause us harm.
    Please watch these testimonies from numerous experts defending Reiner Fuellmich and asking that he be freed from prison after 2 years. He is being held on false charges to silence him. We need his voice speaking the truth. Thank you.

    40+ Experts Speak Out: Free Dr. Reiner Fullmich, Defender of Truth, Justice, and Human Rights

    1. I agree. Reiner did an excellent job interviewing people.

      Based on personal testimony of his partner, I believe he stole money and mislead donors, leaving his partners and vendors in the lurch. I do not make an effort to condemn or criticize him in public – I leave it to the courts to sort out the facts and do what they will do. But no, I will not support as my personal knowledge and understanding is he did commit a serious crime under German law and the practices of ethics and there is grounds for the German authorities to arrest and prosecute him. My personal experience is that he intentionally misrepresented important issues to me and a group helping me – that is why I dropped. I found that there were integrity problems with his leadership.

      In short, as a general rule I do not support a person who lied to their donors, stole from and lied to their partners and lied to me. The primary reason is I love being in cahoots with people who try to be honest with their donors, keep their contracts with their partners and tell me the truth. Plenty of them in the world and the higher % around me, the better life is!
