Money & Markets

The Incredible Shrinking Patsy

In this episode of Money and Markets, John Titus and Catherine Austin Fitts tackle a range of pressing issues against the backdrop of the ‘Incredible Shrinking Patsy,’ a metaphor reflecting the U.S. military’s declining power and increasingly absurd narratives.

They discuss various geopolitical conflicts, including the U.S. military pivoting from Russia, Middle East tensions, and the implications of renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

The conversation also delves into the influence of the mega-rich, economic disparities, and the systemic challenges faced by small businesses and the general populace. Key discussions include the questionable future of U.S. brand influence globally, legal ramifications of changing institutional names, the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the troubling impulse control issues among global leaders.

  1. Had to stop after first hr work to do. Super good one. Catherine several months ago you said the USA is in trouble. Oh so true on many fronts as you and John continue to make us aware every week. This is an interview of Frank Giustra who I have followed for a number of years. Catherine he is like you in that he has a global view with good instincts and lots of ways to gather data. He also agrees with you “The USA Is In Trouble” says what you both said the things Trump is doing is speeding everything up. He touches on the so called trade deals, many of which are just promises. Seems to me the world has Trumps number as in, say what ever Trump wants you to say so he can boast and claim victory and in the end little to nothing will happen after the promise. He hits the tariffs hard as you have. He also covers the unrest and division that is happening in the USA now. Col McGregor has covered this as well. The murder of Charlie Kirk is a signal of this unrest or was done to put more fuel on the fire and will divide the left and right even more. Seems we can expect more of this from the the elite…………divide and never let both sides talk or come together. Last comment on what Frank said, much pain is coming when the reset happens, yes he like you Catherine knows a reset has to happen. Catherin you also pointed out that our USA Brand is in trouble and how that might affect Stable Coin. I had not considered this, so thank you. I had come to the conclusion that Stable Coin was to save the dollar and a lot more etc and had come to the conclusion that if it fails we are toast in a big way. Frank also covers the USA military and Stable Coin. He is not in the USA so Catherine maybe you and him can meet up at some point. It would be an intense interview. Blessing and Well Wishes to you both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJH04hyzFqM

  2. I think you are right about Melania. Barron perhaps too but I think it could also be out of concern for Barron’s safety. All indications are pointing to war in the future. But Americans are very antiwar right now. I see very little support for war with Iran or anyone else from the public. In order to go to war, they are going to need a galvanizing event to get Americans on board with sending theirs sons and daughters to fight a foreign war. This feels like major false flag territory and having Barron move to the White House seems like it could be for his safety in anticipation of what’s to come.

  3. Highly recommend the book The Fort Bragg Cartel: Drug Trafficking and Murder Inside the Special Forces.

    A great insight into the drug fueled cultural rot in the USA and its top military units.

  4. There have been several possible/apparent false flags like Charlie Kirk and the Ukrainian girl on the transit, to name a few. The question is – “What is the purpose?” Its can’t be just gun control, because the girl was supposedly killed with a knife. So is it security getting into events and on public transit, things like the Chinese iPhone controls and gates? A good podcast which looks at Charlie Kirk is linked below. The version on Youtube was censored.

    1. As I said, I did not know anything about Charlie Kirk before this horrible event. Since then, I have read about him. Last night I watched a Man in America show coving all the theories going around social media, he then read and responded to comments. One comment was the topic of the link that I posted above, the possibility that it could have been staged, possibly to save Kirk from an assassination attempt that the ‘white hats’ were protecting him against. He did not believe that could be the case and explained. Sadly his logic makes sense.

      Even if Israel is not connect to this assassination, our funding and support of Israel must stop. In my opinion, they are a rogue nation, run by the Zionist Cartel.

      And, in my opinion, another thing that needs to end is our three letter agencies feeding us BS and then “moving on”. I was in college when JFK was assassinated. We didn’t believe what they said then and I don’t believe what they say now.

      Sorry for the raging, but this has been going on for a very long time. For the first time in my life I see a large amount of people fighting to retake our country and restore morality. I am glad and want us to succeed, we are running out of time.

    2. This is really a puzzle, there are so many very odd things going on in rapid succession. I think they are all somehow related. I don’t know anything about Charlie, but Kim Iversen said he was changing his opinion on Israel and he is very popular with young Americans. This is the demographic that does not support Israel. At the same time Col Macgregor is reporting that there are now Jewish settlements in Ukraine.

  5. When I looked at the American soldiers on parade and compared them to the Chinese soldiers on parade my fist impression was that the Americans were unprofessional, sloppy, poorly trained and undisciplined. Then on second thought I found that the comparison showed that American soldiers are individual, thinking human beings working together and thus have the capacity to say ‘no’ whereas the Chinese soldiers are mechanized automatons, only capable of following orders as a monolith. Just a thought.
