The Red Button Story Goes Prime Time

February 17, 2026

“Ninety-nine out of 100 people said [when asked if they would push a button that could stop government-sponsored criminality in their neighborhood], ‘We don’t want our mutual funds and our IRAs to go down in price, we don’t want our government checks to stop, and we don’t want our taxes to go up.’ So that is what I call ‘The Red Button problem.’”

~ Catherine Austin Fitts

After years, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi testifying before the House Judiciary Committee regarding the Epstein Files has validated the “Red Button” thesis. The implication is that Americans are satisfied by capital gains in our 401(k)s, IRAs, and brokerage accounts as well as government checks delivered with the story of “I am good.” Who cares if our daughters and sons are being poisoned, raped, tortured, and trafficked?
