All right. Joining us now is Katherine Austin Fitz. Always great to talk
to Katherine, and especially wanted to talk to her as we go into a
new year. And she's also got she's working very hard to try to help
people get financial transaction freedom. We're and talk about what that is. She's
got a tour that's coming around Tennessee that's going to be happening there, Catherine.
In case you don't know her, she's president of Solari Incorporated, and
that's at Salari dot coms so l a r I dot com. She's a
former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the US Department of Housing
in Urban Development in the first Bush administration. Was the president of Hamilton Securities
Group and she has designed and closed over twenty five billion dollars worth of transactions
and investments to date and has led portfolio investment strategy for three hundred billion dollars
of financial assets and liabilities. She understands the financial landscape and she is committed
to liberty. So joining us now is Katherine Austin Fitz. Thank you for
joining us. Thank you, David. And I'm excited because I'm coming.
I'm headed to Tennessee this month and I'm hoping what I come through. I'm
spending more time on the eastern side of the state these days. I'm going
to come through and meet you and i'd love to your team. I'd love
to do that. Yeah, yeah, I love to do that. And
you've got the tour that's coming up, and let's talk about that. But
first let's well lay out what financial transaction freedom is. But let's talk about
twenty twenty four and also looking back at twenty twenty three, how do you
see the top stories? As we were talking off areas, you have your
top stories for the year that you typically cover. What did you see as
the top stories for twenty twenty three. So we are great believers in open
source intelligence. It's Leary, and every week we pour into our databases the
top headline. So we're constantly pouring. You know, if you do a
search for the David Night Show, you'll find a bunch of stuff. And
you know, so we have a new media list and we're pouring in headlines
from you know, all different sources. We get people sending us links all
over the world. And then weekly I do a show called Money and Market
with Titus, and we pick out the top twenty stories and talk about those
for that week, and then when we get to the quarter and the year,
so every quarter but the last one is the annual wrap up. We
have a team of four people who synthesize all the stories and sit down and
say, Okay, what are the most what are the most important stories that
people, you know, individuals or families need to know to navigate this environment.
What's important? And every time I come into one of those efforts,
and it takes us about a month to build out to the top twenty stories
for the quarter of the year, I think, well, I know what's
going on, you know, I'm on top of it. I'm watching the
news. And yet we go through the process and we realize, after we've
collected everything different, you know, together, it's like, oh, you
know, I didn't realize how big that was or how important. Anyway,
this time we normally our top story is on the financial coupdeta are the going
direct reset. This time our top story was not only very different, but
typically we put all the top twenty stories on one page. This story was
so big and so long it had to have its own page, and the
other nineteen stories, second page, and the title is twenty twenty three The
Year of Pushback. Wow. And what I didn't realize, David, until
I pulled it all together, in all the different categories, the extent of
the pushback, you know, it's almost like twenty twenty we get whack.
Twenty twenty one, we realized something's fishy. Twenty twenty two, we decide
to take action, and we start. Twenty twenty three. You see the
lawsuits filed, You see the you know, the the different you know,
businesses started or initiatives started, and you know, there are many different categories.
But what happened is the pushback blossomed. And then if you look at
how it's blocked and who's doing what, what you realize is twenty twenty four
is going to be explosive. It's beautiful. It's that's going to be the
case. The question is going to be putting the plunger down, Honey,
I said, you know, I said when I was talking about it,
because we do, you know, we do a recording and it's a mega
recording with doctor Ferrell that will publish next week with the analysis of all the
twenty stories. But I said, this is like a big game of Texas
Chicken, where the establishment is trying to centralize and the pushback is not only
pushing back but saying, you know something, We're going to do our own
reset. I call it the building wealth reset. You're doing the going direct
reset. We're going to do the building wealth reset. We're going to build
wealth, bottom up, family wealth, community wealth. You know, we've
had it with you guys destroying and stealing everything. So you got these two
cars going together at sixty miles an hour, and you know, the pushback
team is looking much stronger than I ever realized until we did this. So
I came out of the process so enthusiastic. I think it's going to be
a great year. Our quote for the commentary for this year is from a
preacher down in Texas. He says, he said, our situation is defined
by extraordinary opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. That's like the guy who the
American general who is surrounded and he goes, that's good news. We can
to attack them in any direction, right, I guess that's where we are
right now. You know they've done their bestess around us. Well, you
know that's the thing. I look at it and I get frustrated because it
seems like there's so many people who don't know. There's a lot more people
who don't care. And then even amongst the people who know and care,
a lot of them don't really know what to do. And that's what I
like about what you do, because you've got some action items to take,
and especially focusing on the money part, because that is such an important aspect,
you know, it is central to the country. Yeah. Yeah,
So we just have subscribers. You know, we had these hats called you
know that they're orange hats and say make cash great Again. And people are
sending us pictures from all over the world. Here's you know, you know,
cash make cash great again on top of Mount Kilimajaro. You know.
But they're sending us pictures, including of their kids because they're having you know,
they're giving them the kids. But we get stories from all over the
world out people are using cash and sort of dialing back the systems. And
it's so inspiring to hear all these stories because not only are they using cash,
but they're beginning to engage with local businesses to talk about, Okay,
what are we going to do. How are we going to do? You
know, they're talking to their banks, they're talking to their credit unions,
they're talking to local businesses, and it's almost like they're coming out of the
trance and getting ready to transact our way back to freedom. Good and it's
good. We did a great I did a great interview in twenty twenty two
called where to Stash Your Cash in twenty twenty two, and we're going to
redo it this month. We're to Stash your Cash twenty twenty four. But
it's sort of helping you build resiliency in your day to day life. And
we also have a program called Building Wealth because you know, as I said,
we do need a reset, but we need a reset that rebuilds and
builds family wealth. And family wealth is the basis of community wealth. Sure,
and you know the problem with what's going on is we basically have an
organized crime operation that's stealing and taking our wealth. So that's got to be
reversed. So you've got to you know, push back against them getting financial
transaction control, which and then if they get that, David, they will
take everything, everything, They will take everything, So you know, it's
slavery or freedom. But we also when we say no, we reject your
complete control. We have to take responsibility bottom up to build the kind of
culture and economy that you know, we want our kids and grandkids growing up.
And that's absolutely true. I've said many times I forget to have said
it. I said, you can't win a culture war if you don't have
a culture. Well, we don't have a culture. We have we just
set back and let them feed us a culture and we just kind of you
can't wait. You can't run a financial system just with law enforcement, right,
you know, the enforcement, the only productive enforcement comes from a moral
culture and institutions that will allow their people and encourage their people to be moral.
You know, it's funny. I just did an interview today with a
gold company here and I'm in the Netherlands right now, and they're a wonderful
company. I've only done I've only done maybe four or five transactions with them,
but each time totally clean, totally professional, high speed, no monkey
business, no dirty tricks, everything clean. It is whistle everybody now to
the drivers are great. It's like boom boom, boom, boom boom,
and and you think, you know this is how it should work. Yes,
but they have if you look at who owns them and how they operate,
they're highly moral and you know, it's culture that's going to drive that.
I don't know if you saw it, but we did this wonderful panel
with CHD. Tennessee in Rogersville. Was Senator Nicely and Representative Halsey. Oh
and oh it was who can I tell you it was so great. First
I did a speech, then we did the panel. If you watch it,
just cut to the panel because Halsey and Nicely are great. But Halsey
gives this whole description of how the Constitution came out of, you know,
a culture and a morality and unless we you know, unless we protect and
nurture and enforce that culture, nothing good can come from anything. And it's
a it's very eloquent. I agree. You know, it is very important
to have people that you trust and everything. That's why, you know,
we work with Tony Ardban at Wisewolf Gold and he's even set up a website
David Knight not Gold, and we were just talked about that yesterday. How
Costco they sold what was that one hundred million or three hundred million, I
don't know what it was an amazing amount of gold, you know, but
Walmart is getting in it now. But it's like you want to deal with
people that you know and people I don't know Walmart knowing what I own exactly
exactly. Now you go down to the Walmart and you could buy it with
JP Morgan card, you know, and of America card. And that's the
that kind of defeats a lot of the purpose of that, you say,
and forward to your financial transaction freedom. You have a quote from William Faulkner
says, we must be free, not because we claim freedom, but because
we practice it. I thought that was really profound. You know. We
always talk about, well, you know, we got the Constitution, we
got this and that. You know, well, you know they had the
declaration of independence, but they still had to fight the war, you know,
to get that independence. You can't just declare your independence. You got
to make it happen. And that's really what this document is about. The
financial transaction freedom. Tell us a little bit about that. Tell us,
first of all, give us your definition of that. So there are two
big documents in this in this wrap up, and the first one, interestingly
enough, came from Tennessee. I was meeting with a group of state legislators
and some of the government officials. And there's a wonderful guy who runs the
revenue departments and uh, a really smart guy, and he said, would
you write a memo for me on financial transaction freedom? Freedom? What is
it, what threatens it, and what can we do to protect it?
And you know that's that was a harder job. I got my general counsel
in I and we wrote it. And so let's start with what is financial
transaction freedom? Financial transaction freedom is the ability to trade, you know,
to trade money for goods or to you know, to barter's swap, and
and to do it in a way where one it's private too, you have
multiple options. Three it's liquid and nobody's stopping or controlling you by controlling your
financial transactions. So we all know the story of what happened to the Canadian
truckers. That is financial transaction control. Now what I believe. If you
go to Solary and you down on the right, there's a panel that says
videos on financial transaction freedoms and CBDCs and it's a list of eighty eighty short
videos that show you what the central bankers are planning on doing, including a
certain total control of your money. Oh yeah, So that one. They
can make rules centrally and enforce them centrally with AI and software on all digital
systems that control your money. So if they decide they want to raise taxes,
they just take it out of your account. If they decide it'll help
with inflation, they just freeze your account, you know, and they describe
the deposits in your account as an expression of central bank liability. It's not
your money, it's their money. That's number one. Number two. They
want to program money. So if they don't want your money working more than
five miles from your house, or they don't want you buying pizza because they
think, you know, it's not good for you, then your money won't
buy pizza. Your money, you know, your digital your digital cards and
digital transactions and bank transactions won't work, you know, if you're more than
five miles from your home. So it's called programability anyway. So if you
look at the first couple videos, there's also one of the great videos.
There is a video from one of the presidents of the one of the twelve
FED banks saying I understand why China wants CBBC's But why would Americans ever let
this happen? You know, I mean, because you're talking about a slavery
system. If they get financial transaction control and control of the food supply,
which is part of what they're up to, and if you look at some
of our wrap ups, we've written a lot about that recently as well,
because it's you know, it's part of the same play. If they get
financial transaction controlled, David, and they can control your bank account, you
know, and and institute taxation without representation, then they can dictate anything.
They can dig what drugs you're going to take, they can dictate whether or
not you've got to take injections. They can dictate where your kids go to
school. They can dictate that your kids can't live with you anymore, they've
got to come to you know, X y Z government boarding school. Whatever.
That's right, you're talking about a slavery system. Oh and one of
the fourth video in the stack is Richard Warner, the top central bank expert
in the world in my opinion, academic expert, explaining that one of the
top central bank's heads in Europe told him that it's a chip they're planning on
putting in our hands. So and we've seen discussions in the World Economic Forum
with the head of Nokia and others talking about how we're going to all be
chipped. Yeah, yeah, for convenience, you know, for convenience,
and it really is for their convenience. Yeah. Yeah. I played the
video over and over again from that was produced in Ukraine and they said,
well, you know, after we get past this war and we're victorious,
twenty thirty is just going to be great. You know, when you any
interaction that you have with other people or better especially all the different things that
you're required to do with government, we'll just make that so convenient because we'll
have a CBDC and we'll have your everything that you have will be on your
phone and so forth. And it's like, wow, this is totally comprehensive.
And as you pointed out, they're going to be able with the programmability
make your money invalid if you're not in the correct area. It's all about
enslaving and imprisoning this, you know. And yeah, right, So when
the World Economic Form says it's twenty thirty and you have no assets, the
question is how do they strip you of all your assets? How do they
strip you of your property rights? How do they strip you of your assets?
And the way you do it is if you can get total financial transaction
control, then you can strip people of all their assets. You just turn
off their money. That's right. Yeah, we already saw a little bit
of this. You know, you mentioned the Freedom Convoy. That was a
big wake up for everybody because now it's no longer a conspiracy theory, is
a conspiracy reality. They've already done it. And then we saw, you
know, in January the sixth, we saw Bank of America, you know,
creating a Stasi list. Here's all the people that had financial transactions within
this area on January the sixth. And oh no, by the way,
here's our records of all the people who use our credit card to buy guns.
You want to put those together, FBI, so we know how they're
going to use this. It's very sinister. And when you look at it,
it's almost as if, you know, the Bank of America who is
asking them, would you like us to confiscate their money and lock up their
accounts? Right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. It truly is amazing.
So you know, when we look at it, there's some other things on
it as well. I'm looking at the memo and there's a downloadable PDF that
you have at sari dot com, but it's com into hilario. It's just
as Financial Transaction Freedom Memo, and we have it in PDF and you can
download. We sell hard copies for free, or we put it in the
wrap up. You can buy that. But if you're a subscriber, but
just download it for free, printed out, make as many copies as you
want, spread it everywhere, and so you define what you just to find
what financial freedom is. You've got to have multiple different ways outside of their
system them a lot of different options and things like that privacy and no surveillance
and that type of thing. But then you also have action items. Because
I've had they I talk about CBD So go ahead, tell us about the
action items. But the next step, well, to understand action items,
you have to understand what threatens financial transaction freedom is. It's not just central
bank controls and CBDCs and digital IDs. It's also power outages, okay,
it's cybersecurity attacks. There are all sorts of other things. You know,
when the cyclones hit in New Zealand, the governor of the central bank there
gave a press concerts afterwards, and he said, thank God for cash.
If we hadn't had cash, we would have been And I, you know,
I never outturned to John Titus that week and I said, I guess
he didn't get the memo. But remember when there was that huge power outage
in Kentucky. Oh yeah, for weeks. If you if you didn't have
cash, you were in real trouble. Okay, So there are multiple things
that can compromise because what we're talking about doing is not allowing digital systems to
get control. Yes, and that's why we always say to people, the
first thing you can do is to roll back digital systems. Stop being so
dependent on digital systems. You want to have analog alternatives, and you want
to be resilient in the face of real hiccups with digital systems, whether it's
a power outage, whether it's government sanctions, whether it's Central bank intervention,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But you know, build that
resiliency into your life. In many ways you can do it. So the
first thing we talk about is, you know, is using cash and starting
to engage with local businesses, particularly your farmers and your farmer markets fresh food,
because the most important thing you need to do in this environment is you
get a good, strong, clear brain and healthy body, and that starts
with good, healthy, fresh food. And as we know, there's terrible
deterioration in the quality of the food, so you know, line up your
food locally. The second thing you can do is bring transparency. We have
a wonderful post we link to it from that memo called I want to Stop
Cbdc's what can I do? In it lists eleven things you can do.
But one of the things you can do is tell your family and friends.
So we have these eleven or we have a link to these CBDC shorts and
they're one minute, you know, the first three or one minute each and
the fourth one is two and a half minute, really short. And in
those three one minute videos, they will scare you to death. And I
defy anybody to think they don't need to take action once they see those,
you know, so you don't need to read a lot of books or watch
a lot of long videos. You know, in three one minute videos,
we can communicate to you why you got to do something about this. That's
great. Another thing people can do that is exceptionally important is talk to your
financial service providers, talk to your CPA, talk to your attorney, talk
to your bank, talk to all these people and get them realizing that they've
got to push back. If the state, if the state banking associations start
to push back and protect people from transaction control, you know, and compromise
of their financial transaction freedom, they can have a huge impact. And they
should do that because if you look at what the central bankers are up to,
they intend to consolidate the banking system. They're rolling out the fittes,
rolling out the fast payment system. We saw what they did to a group
of banks last week. They're going to consolidate the banking system, which is
going to be terrible for the small business economy and terrible bottom up for the
health of the economy and family. Well, so you get your banks,
get your investment advisors, get your CPAs, get your lawyers, get all
your financial professionals lined up and educated, you know, bring transparency and get
them on board. The next thing you need to do is there are you
know, there are ten plus states in this country that have legislative agendas that
are filing and knocking through bills that are going to protect the financial transaction freedom
of the people in those states. You know, you and I are in
Tennessee, and Tennessee is absolutely leading the way. It's one of those states.
And they're working on, you know, sovereign payment systems or banks.
They're working on bullion depositories in a way for citizens to store their gold and
silver but transact their gold and silver within the state in a way that protects,
absolutely protects financial transaction freedom and voting gold and silver to be legal tender
so we can't get locked into a CBDC system you know where we don't have
legal tender unless we use CBDCs there. They've already taken in many states,
and in Tennessee the sales tax off. Part of that legal tender bill is
to make sure gold and silver are protected from capital gains tax they're taking.
They're doing moves to protect and build analog payment systems so again that you can't
have your digital systems shut down or controlled from out of state. They are
now bringing nullificational laws. I'm sure you've talked about that, changing the definition
of money, so it can't be you know, CBDCs can't be included in
the definition of money, nullification bills. I mentioned nullification already nullification bills to
make sure that constitutional, any law that's unconstitutional under both the federal Constitution or
the state constitution is included, and then interject there. Last time I talked
to Senator and nicely, we're talking about this pistol brace thing, and he
goes, and we've already got taken care of. You know, we passed
this nullification thing, saying that if the federal law conflicts with the Tennessee law,
and he said, and then we passed a that they can't do it,
they can't enforce it. And he said, then we passed a law
to make pistol braces legal. So they're on top of it. They really
really are on top of it. They are on talking about educating the banks
and you know, your CPA and anybody that you deal with financially, and
it's a really Last time I talked to him, he was saying it was
difficult to get the local banks to understand that a state bank was going to
help them like it did in North Dakota, where they have a lot more
local banks than any other state, and they have worked to help them,
and he goes, but they you talk about a state bank, and they
think it's some kind of competition. So he came up with the idea of
calling it a Tennessee Reserve system. And he said, that's a great stand.
And he's brilliant at that, isn't he. Yeah. I think Senator
Nicely, you know, our our team at Soilary, our number one goal
this year is to support financial transaction freedom because we want to be free.
Yeah, And if we don't get financial transaction freedom, we won't be free.
And for us to be free, we need everybody to be free.
And I look around and I say, who are the most astute politicians who
can understand and move this kind of you know, build this infrastructure, you
know, one bill at a time, because it's going to take many,
many bills and quite an education. And I think Senator Nicely is the most
effective politician I have ever known or dealt with Washington State politicians, you know,
global here in your I've never met a more effective politician my life.
Oh I agree, I absolutely A yeah, And so you know we're talking
he is. You got to see this panel in Rogerville because he also happens
to be one of the funniest people alive. At one point he was talking
about his You know, I said to him, Senator Nicely, you know,
I hold you personally responsible for the traffic problems in Tennessee because for the
last ten to twelve years, you keep lowering taxes. And he said,
yeah, my wife says, you know, he's married to a Texan.
He says, my wife says, if we lower taxes anymore, he said,
everybody's going to move in here, and it's my fault that we have
all these Yankees and Californi or it's moved in. But I tell my wife
this is you got to watch it. It's so funny. Since I tell
my wife, he said, you know, I don't mind the Yankees moving
in because one thing we know about Yankees they will fight, and we learned
that the hard way. He really does know his history. That's the other
thing that's very interesting about and nicely, but you know what you were talking
about the pushbacks, and one of the things that you mentioned when you were
talking about pushbacks was and you touched on it just now, the definition of
money and you see ces and you mentioned that South Carolina had done that.
I know that, yes, South Carolina, Florida and so how many you
have changed the definition of money to say it's nig to be CBDC, but
it's going to be. But we are going to allow this and that as
a definition. Yeah, I don't know how many. I know Florida's done
it. I know South Carolina has done it. We have a team that's
trying to collect to but identify who has done all you know, in fifteen
different legislative categories, who has done what in terms of a state bank,
a sovereignby in depository, whatever. So as we as we do that,
we find more states. I will say this one of the things I would
like to have more capacity and is understanding how to protect states through the UCC
because a lot of the monkey business happens through the UCC the Uniform Commercial Code.
So if there are UCC attorneys out there who are willing to help,
please you know, this is a call for help because the UCC is you
know, it's it's state by state, but it's highly complicated, as you
know, David, and I think you know a lot of the a lot
of the games are happening inside the UCC. Well, you know, I
remember when I first heard about that in conjunction with the CBDC. It was
Christinome in South Dakota. You said, you know, they this thing came
across and we've etoed it. But you know, be aware that there's more
than twenty some odd states that have had that pushed out. And the next
thing I saw was that DeSantis went the opposite direction. You know, what
they're pushing out was legislation to say that CBDCs would have to be accepted as
money. DeSantis went the other way and said, they will not be accepted
this money, but we will accept bitcoin and cash and all the rest of
this stuff right that we currently have. And so now South Carolina has done
that as well. That's good news. There's so many different ways that we
can push back on this, and again went back. You know, there's
a lot of pushback lawsuits against the companies because of damage and things like that.
It is a constant struggle and it's really hard to try to keep to
get a sense of whether people are waking up. I got to the point
where I just thought nobody's ever going to wake up in twenty twenty. I
just think a tremendous number of people are waking up. If you look at
the pushback I'll tell you one of the greatest pushback sort of clusters is the
state ags and treasures. The treasures are pushing back like crazy against ESG.
We just had the Treasure of Utah write a letter of the SEC to try
and stop or delay the proposed comment rule ending on natural asset companies, which
is another you know, talk about talk about real trouble coming anyway. But
the pushback by the state ags, you know, so Missouri versus Biden is
a great example of litigation file by Louisiana and Missouri, you know. But
the state ags and the treasures are on the move and they're teaming up.
So if you look at the filing at the of the Utah Treasure at the
SEC, his letter was signed by himself and twenty three other treasures, So
you know they're teaming up groups of ags and groups of treasures. They already
think it Blackrock have had to roll back their whole ESG initiative because so many
treasurers have pulled money or I think one now I think Tennessee has sued I
don't know. I don't think it's the treaser. Somebody in Tennessee has sued
the I think It'sti the I think it's Skermetti, the Attorney Joy, it
could be the AJ He said it is fraudulent because you're telling people that they're
making an investment, so therefore you're going to be trying to do things that
you know, our exercise care, fiduciary care, the financial side, but
you're completely ignoring the financial side, and you got your own agenda over here.
Well, but there's something else. Blackwork is making huge fees off the
state pension phones. And if you look at the hypocrisy of what Larry Fink
is saying, it's extraordinary. I did a wrap up in twenty nineteen called
an ESG turning the Red Button Green, and basically what I was describing was
all the hypocrisy in the system because they're using it to enforce central control as
opposed to enforce real standards that improve, in my opinion, the governance of
society. You know, so Larry Think has gotten called out on his hypocrisy.
That's great. That's the treasurers who are coming out and saying we're going
to move our investments away from them, putting financial pressure on them. And
then you've got some Attorney General's Attorney's General who are saying, well, this
is fraudulent, and we're going to s them because they've told people that their
company is about this, but it's actually about this other thing. Well,
here's the thing at the very heart of the pushback in all these different forms.
What you're seeing is people on the ground who want to be productive.
You know, people want to go to work and do a good job without
having to you know, share bathrooms with the other sex and get into that
conversation. They want to go back without you know, they want to be
free to say something without being fired for you know, offending, hate crime.
All this stuff is destroying productivity and they've had it. So what they're
saying is we you know, so, if I'm a treasurer, I'm looking
across the state and saying, the guys in Washington and Wall Street and Basel,
Switzerland are using climate change as a ruse to shut down our businesses,
take control of our markets, and steal our money. Yes, why should
I finance them doing that? Because they're not doing what they say they're doing.
They're just using this to assert central control. You know, just like
during the pandemic, you shut down ten small businesses you leave Costco in the
same shopping mall open, and you know on the theory that the magic virus
only operates in small business, but it doesn't operate in large publicly traded stocks,
and you scarf and steal the market share from the small businesses. Had
nothing to do with health. It had to do with shifting significant market share
out of locally owned and controlled businesses into publicly traded stocks, you know,
and in a way that made Larry Fink a lot of money, Okay,
and it's a scam. Yeah. That made me so angry when that was
happening because I had lived that with my wife and I we had a video
store business back in the early nineties and we had a hurricane that came through
and took power out for several days. When we finally got it back in
one area, we opened up that store. And then the police came by
and said, you got to shut your store down, and I said,
well, Walmart is open right across the store, right across the street.
You know, you got to shut your business down because you're you're attracting people
come out and drive around. They shouldn't be out driving around now. And
it's like, well, who you'd make that decision number one and number two,
you're telling me essentially what Trump said, You're not essential. You know,
Walmart is essential, but you closed down because you know they wont you
know, basically, it's the big guys stealing market, sure from the young
guys. That's right. It's very simple. It's a steal. It's called
a taking, yes, yes, and it's you know, hurting Main Street
in order to help Wall Street, the big companies that are essential. And
so when I saw that, I'd already lived that for you know, just
a couple of days, and it made me so angry to see that they
were going to be putting people out of business who had poured their sweat and
energy and capital into this and worked it for years, just to be told
they're non essential. That I still get angry when I think about that.
But talk about some of the other things shore. But here's but here's what
happened in twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty one, people agreed to play
along with that are twenty twenty because they thought the government had a legitimate reason.
Once you understand that this is just a mafia trying to steal your business,
that's when you say, oh, two people can play this game.
So you the municipality, are going to shut me down. Great, I'm
going to audit your books, I'm going to get all your financial disclosure,
and I'm going to dig into your money, and I'm going to dig into
the money of everybody in the city council. By the time i'm through,
y'all going to be gone. So we have a wonderful woman who works for
us in Tennessee. She was in Knoxville. She tried to get the mask
Man and canceled and couldn't do it. And so she went in and figured
out the committee you know in government that was deciding this. She figured out
how they were formed, and she got the committee canceled, and they canceled.
You know, there was no mask Man because the committee that was supposed
to implement it was gone. That's great, and that's what really needs to
happen because and that's the thing that can concerns me is that, you know,
we're not In so many cases we have seen people who are just oh,
I'm so glad that this isn't happening again. They realize there's a fraud.
They don't want to play it along with it. But now that it's
ended, as you point out, everybody just wants to get along with their
life right instead of this and say they want to be productive. They want
to build family wealth, and that's why you have to give them ways of
pushing back that they can push back in a way that helps them build family
wealth. So what we're saying is make yourself more resilient, make yourself more
successful, lower your dependency. Every time you pull money and market share out
of the companies that are doing this, you know, and the support the
politicians who are doing this, you make yourself more powerful and you make yourself
stronger and they get weaker. So it's like it's like having a tapeworm.
You know. What we're saying is detox the tapeworm to make yourself stronger.
And anytime you can do anything that lowers your dependency on their systems, like
using cash. I mean, using cash is really you know, can save
you a lot of money. I mean, we've proven again and again if
people use cash, they spend less, they're more careful, they think through
their purchase decisions. But you can also build up incredibly great relationships with your
local business. You know, in the process of transacting with them. It's
a much more intimate way of transacting and you find all sorts of opportunities when
that conversation gets going. So people are busy, and this is an exhausting
environment in many ways because of the compliance and rules, and people don't like
to fight and add friction because that doesn't get them anywhere. A lot of
times, you know, they see a lot of people fighting in ways that
aren't effective. I don't want to be a part of that. So you
need to give them ways of pushing back which help to build their strength and
power. And well, I go back. The most important one is they
have to be healthy. And that means, you know, if I encourage
anyone to invest time in building wealth. Step one is getting the knowledge you
need to take responsibility for your own health and making sure you're getting clean water
and nutritious food and you are not get poisoned, you know, because we
are in the middle, particularly in America, the Great Poisoning. Oh yeah,
and people are getting sick from being poisoned, and they need to understand
what the process is and how to protect themselves and their family. And if
people are really good at protecting themselves from the great poison, David, they
have ten times more energy. That's right. So step number one is get
yourself off the poison treadmill. And when you look at it the you know
it's going to cost you more to get this other food, right, but
not if you compare that to what's going to happen if you get sick and
you've got to engage with a healthcare system that just blows what. You can
buy organic food all day forever before you have your first hospital bill, they're
going to really fleeceh you talk about, say drowing you financially. That's what
happens with the hospital system. So if you can stay out of that and
all clean food, if you're way ahead of the game, even financially,
not alone in terms of enjoying the help absolutely that Our annual wrap up last
year is called pharm of Food and it was on synthetic food and lapgrown meat,
and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to read. We hired
this wonderful Dutch journalist, Elsavon Homlan to write it and she did an incredible
job. And when she came back with it the first time in my life,
I couldn't read a draft. The whole way through because it's so evil.
If you see the hundreds of billions of dollars they're throwing it, making
thirty dollars hamburgers that are you know, created with three D printing. Is
it's so horrible. You can't imagine that they want anybody to eat this,
you know, and nobody's going to eat it without financial transaction control because they're
going to mandate the only food you're allowed to buy or sort of bugs and
synthetic meat. So anyway, we published it, and I thought, David,
it would be the least popular wrap up that we ever published because it's
so horrible and gruesome. We published it and it's brilliant. It really warrants
you about what these guys are up to and why you can't allow financial transaction
to control happened because this is the food they're going to try and feed you.
And anyway, we published it and it was hugely popular and successful because
all the fresh food people used it to market, you know, all the
people of the farmer's market are like, you know, here's what they're going
to do if you don't support us. And I had one subscriber writing as
one, you know, we get these great emails, and they said,
you know, I have tried and tried and tried to get my husband to
buy from the local farmers and farmers market and really develop our fresh food supply
locally, and he says it's too hard work and it's too much money.
I gave him farmer food. He said, I am all in to say,
you know, it's great that you got that. It was really a
shame if we moved here. We finally found a local farm that was doing
a clean local food and everything and uh, you know, we could get
raw milk as a membership club and things like that. Oh wonderful. And
we only did that for a couple of months and then they said, we
just got a close. We can't keep it going. There's not enough demand.
And that's the key thing. It really so sassin. Now we're looking
again, you know, but it is so sad to see how difficult it
is for them to maintain that. But how imuch, I don't know.
If Edible Communities has a magazine for your area, look at the Edible Communities.
It's a franchise of local food magazines all over the country. And I
thought I knew every fresh food farmer in my area until I got the Edible
Communities magazine for Memphis, and I found so many great sources after I got
it, so I would check that out, and of course check out the
Western Price Club where you are, because they're Western Price chapters all over the
world and they have the greatest net works into knowing what the great food is
in your area, and they're the ones who've led the campaign on raw milk,
and raw milk is one of the great success stories because we're now up
to forty six states you know where there is a pathway to buying raw milk,
and that is extraordinary and it's been the rest and Priced guys who really
did that. So yeah, and of course the other part of this,
And Thomas Massey has been involved in this and I've reported it. He it's
my hero. Yeah, I've talked Tomas Massey, was here of the Week
three times on this very important twenty twenty three. Yeah, he's by far
and away the best US congressman that's out there, absolutely hands down. But
he's focused on this whole thing about the fact and a particular Amish farmer.
As a matter of fact, there's an update that just happened this guy that's
been harassed by the USDA because he wants to butcher the meat there on the
farm and do it cleanly. I'm sure I can't remember the guy's name,
but I'm sure you know the case. Yeah, come back and hit him
again, because it's very important for them that you've got to go to their
centrally controlled eat process waterhouses. Yeah, exactly. And that's it. And
it's much safer. A good, a good local operation on the farm is
much safer. So, you know, so Massy has the what's the name
of the Prime Act? Yes, So we've been supporting for several years trying
to get the PIEMAC passed. And you know, it's funny one of the
things I do, uh, you know, and started with Ron Paul,
but then I went to Massie. Whenever I'm depressed, you know, I'm
just thinking, oh god, it's you know, I'm fighting with what I
call the force to nothing. I'm fighting with nothing. You know, I
have to do something to make myself feel good. And I'll send us a
donation to Massy. It's like, Okay, I'll put fuel in the leader's
pocket and I'll feel better. He's a good guy. He's a guy,
and he stands like Ron Paul, he stands alone if he has to,
Uh, what is it in the water in Kentucky that we you know,
we get because Ram Paul's in Kentucky. Massy's in Kentucky. Yeah, he
definitely stood up and eat stood up against that trillions of dollars that Trump wanted
to put in. Trump wanted to get him out, but he didn't get
him out. So that's good. I think the people my favorite. If
you go to Silarium and do a search for MASSI you'll pull this up.
One of the heroes of the week was Massy absolutely slaughtering that idiot from Texas.
You know, not many idiots come from Texas, but this one is
the secretary of transportation on electric cars because mass he's an MIT engineer, yes,
you know, and he knows the whole, the whole. You know,
electric cars are mathematically entered. You know, the math of the energy,
the math of the environment, the math of the economics. They're absolutely
insane. They make no sense whatsoever. Yeah, it only makes sense in
the scientific term if your degree is in political science, and that's what he
also did. If you want total control, so if you want to be
able to turn off people's car. So if I lock you down, you
can't go more five miles from your home, your car will turned off and
it won't work more than five miles from your home. I know exactly what
it's about. Digital concentration camps. Yes, right, right, that's true.
Yeah, yeah, he had He had John carry On and John carry
any FOI says, so you got a science degree, Well yeah, he
goes political science. Right, that's what I want. Time Carry's got a
political science degree because there isn't any you know, there isn't any science between
these. I call them mcguffins, which is what Hitchcock called them. You
know, it doesn't really matter what it is. It could be the Maltese
falcon, ud be something else, but it's whatever motivates the people to do
this. So it could be the virus, or it could be the climate.
But they've always got the same solution. Yeah, you got to get
an idea and you got to put them in charge. It's big them permission
for everything. But it doesn't matter what the mcguffin is. It's interchangeable.
Just whatever you use to motivate the people. It seems like it always so
when I became assistant Sectuy of Housing. The Secretary wanted to do a big
housing bill. You know, he wanted a big accomplishment. He wanted a
big housing bill. So the goal was how do we get the Democrats on
board for And we got Jim Rowse around Fanny May I'm sorry, Jim Rouse
around the Enterprise Foundation and David Maxwell around Fanny May. They had done a
big commission on housing that proposed a lot of decentralization. They were both big
Democrats, and we got David and Jim to come in, wonderful men,
and Camp the sector is trying to persuade him into a new housingville and a
lot of what Camp was proposing was more centralization. And David and Jim were,
you know, they're wonderful people, very big hearts, and they and
they were saying, well, you know, Jack, you're a Republican.
Republicans polluting decentralization, and we proposed a lot of decentralization, and you know,
so we think you should, you know, you would like what we're
proposing. And U and there was he had these two little assistants from the
Heritage Foundation who were truly frightening, and one of the them said, so
Jack is proposing more centralization. The Democrats are proposing decentralization, which is supposed
to be the opposite of their ideologies. So they said, you know,
don't don't you want to decentralize. Why would you want to centralize? And
one of the special assistants bursted out. He says, yeah, but we're
here now. That's it. We're here now. Yeah. It's like,
that's why they never change. Bring the blood to the empire headquarters, bring
the blood to the empire. More extraction, more extraction. Yeah, that's
why I had to leave Washington. That's why I moved to Tennessee. I
was like, you know, you can't decentralize from Washington. That's right,
that's right. You've got to nullify. You've got to have some things at
the local level. So you've talked about some of these things, sovereign State
Bank. I'm looking at your list here actions that can be taken to secure
financial freedom. And so you start out with state and local government, but
then you talk about having some local organizations to try to help this, maybe
because you don't want to all be in. You can't get too much done
on your own. You've got so you've got three different sections. There's state
and local. You got what you can do with small associations, and then
things that you can do as an individual. It's a great right and what
you can do as an investor. I do want to mention the second memo
in the document in the Financial the Future Financial Freedom wrap Up is our Sovereign
State Bank memo by Richard Werner outstanding and explains to you why you do not
want to let the central bankers consolidate the small banks. You do not want
that to happen. And the pandemic was, you know, was hard on
the small banks, and we want a strong small banking and it explains why
the health of an economy and the small business economy in main street depend on
lots of healthy small banks, and so one of the most important things.
And this is what correct understands. And I don't think that the banking associations
that understand yet. They don't understand what a threat CBDC and digital idea and
fast payment systems are. And you know, I want to stress again what
we're trying to get is financial transaction freedom. CBDCs is not the only problem.
Fast payment systems and what they can do with credit cards and banking accounts
without CBDCs. You know, that kind of control is a real problem.
It's a real problem now so as we solve with the Tennessee truckers. So
anyway, so this memo on sovereign state banks is very very good and important,
and it helps you understand why you want the state to be able to
transact without the Feds and the central banks being able to shut them down,
and to afford that protection to the local banks and the local citizens. You
want financial liquidity that the Feds can't kill. That's right, that's right,
and right now we have as you know, you're well aware, we look
at the situation how the deficit has exploded. I talked about that earlier.
You know, we were at only about ten trillion dollars about fifteen years ago
and now has exploded up to thirty four trillion dollars. But I'm sure that's
just the tip of the iceberg. As I point out, there's all these
other things in terms of obligations that the federal government has, and so there's
this massive system that is really not sustainable and corrupt, and so what happens
as we start to see it's also Another thing that's happened is the deficit is
going up, and as we're using the dollar as a weapon, fewer and
fewer people are using a broader or or getting off of the dollars a reserve
currency. What are going to be the implications if that continues and accelerates.
What's going to be the imp higher prices, higher prices, higher prices,
so as the squeeze comes on the value. You know, basically the reason
everybody's been going along with the crime is the you know, the criminals have
been sharing you know, crumbs with us. Yeah, so if you talk
to a state legislator, why can't we establish you know, so Tennessee is
considering rejecting federal education aid. You know, there's an addiction to the money,
that's right. So the central banks money and use that money to buy
us even though that drives up inflation. So at the end of the day,
we don't end up better off. But you know, we have this
addiction to getting federal money. So we're on the dole. And as we
stay on the dole, our economies get weaker and weaker and weaker, you
know, and we become more and more dependent on that doll so so there
is a financial addiction going on to central bank printed money, and that is
going to the question is when is the pain great enough that we're willing to
walk away from that money. Now as they share less and less, you
know, crumbs and prices go up and up from this sort of inflation game,
you know, when are people going to realize we are better off creating
the conditions of sovereignty rejecting that money. And while I will tell you,
David, is you know, in the nineties at Hamilton Securities, I did
a lot of simulation of what we could do if we took government money and
we re engineered it to optimize economic health as opposed to central control. Yeah,
that's right. And if you know, it's going to be a rough
transition because we delayed it for so long. But if we go through that
transition, we can build a much more moral and productive society. Oh I
agree, I agree. Yeah. Yeah, That's always been the case,
and it's been difficult. I've had this frustrating thing, feel like I'm banging
my head against the wall. When I talk to people about what happened in
twenty twenty, they said, well, Trump didn't do it, and I
said no, you understand, it's the money, right, That's how they
get that's how they get around the tenth Amendment. They bribe people, they
get you addicted to the money, and then they pull it back and say,
well, now I'm going to blackmail you. If we look at what
happened with Trump. You know he's out there his administration. They're giving a
twenty percent bonus if you identify somebody as COVID. They're giving you a bonus
to diagnose them at thirteen thousand dollars, thirty nine thousand dollars. You've been
on a ventilator twenty percent on everything that you do. And then when Biden
comes in and now that they've gotten used to this money, he says,
well, if you don't get everybody in the hospital vaccinate, I'm going to
not give you any Medicare, Medicaid. I'm going to shut everything off.
That's the way it always works, going back into the night. But I'm
going to be tough on Trump because he swum ten billion dollars of taxpayers money
into a military program that completely bypassed all the safety things you know that are
implicit in healthcare law to poison millions of Americans. Right, So that's right.
Yeah, he's the he's a poisoner in chief, absolutely no doubt about
it. Exactly. It was a military operation, that's what I was a
military operation. And he put ten billion, He put ten billion dollars behind
it, and he appointed to run a man who was a brain machine interface
expert from Glaxo Smith Klin. Yeah. So, and they've been practicing this,
you know, since two months before nine to eleven. You know,
they've had their annual germ game thing and it's coming from the from DARPA.
So of course they're going to have the White Speed thing be a military thing.
Yeah. It's really difficult to get people to understand that. Sometimes.
I explained, you know when I was when we were doing homeschooling of our
kids were now grown. I know that there were a lot of people in
the homes school for so a community that wanted to say, well, let's
have let's let's fight to get our kids into the sports programs and the band
programs and things like that. And I said, you know, there's going
to be strings attached. All that money and all those benefits that you're fighting
for. They're going to use that to blackmail you, And that's exactly what
they do. They get around the Tenth Amendment by offering people money, getting
them addicted to the money, and then say, okay, now put the
boys in the girls bathroom. We're going to take the money away. It
always works out that way, really. So one of my favorite quotes is
from Franklin Sanders, who's that wonderful. I don't know if you've had Franklin.
He's wonderful, precious metals dealer and pastor in Middle Tennessee. He says,
all government money comes with a sock in the jaw. That's a good
way to put it. Well, tell us a little bit about the tour,
because we're about out of time you're going to have. So I'm coming
down to Tennessee. I should be there by the twenty third, and then
I'm heading over to Middle Tennessee. I got a lot of meetings in Nashville
and some of the surrounding states. I'm going to drop down to Mississippi and
Alabama, and you know, some of the lot of the states around Tennessee
are talking about doing the same things and talking about how they network together.
Yes, as acting too, having a network of states, that's one of
the things Senator and Nicely's talked about, I got to get the network of
states is you know, I don't want to call it the confederacy, but
anyway, I think now you're talking about something that's much more bottom up,
where the states cooperate and coordinate, you know, deal by deal transactions.
So you so you have you know, so so you have relationships where you're
helping each other do a better job, go faster, and they're you know,
given the different strengths of the different states, there's so much that can
be done to cooperate between those states that will really help advantage each other.
So, you know, I think it's pretty exciting. And if you look
at the you know, we have have an extraordinary number of very capable and
talented state legislators who have been you know, they haven't gone up to the
federal level. They haven't become senators or cornressmen because they're too clean. Yeah,
they're too clean, but they're very, very competent, and they're very
capable, and and it's taken a while for them to realize, oh,
I'm more competent to engineer this than you know, all these hot shots.
You know, they're they've got a control file. They're they're on, you
know, they're on a leash. I'm not on. I can do this.
And so that's what's important, is that the state and local races is
far more important. You have far more leverage than you do with Washington.
So I'm telling you to spend almost all your time and money this year on
your state and local races. You know, don't worry about the federal election
because this will be sincided. And if you're in a state that where there's
not going to be financial trans a freedom and you can move, you know,
you may get your you know about when. I don't want to say
that, because the traffic problem in Tennessee is really that. Think about what
happened in twenty twenty. And that's where you can see that where the rubber
meets the road is at the local level. So your schedule is going to
be there as totally. I'm coming. I'm coming at the end of January,
and I'll be over. I'll be in Hickory Valley for the first week
or two, and then I'll move over to Shelbyville and be going up,
spending a lot of time in Nashville, and then I'll be networking around the
state for lots of meetings, and then head up to New England for the
UH the end of figure I'll be there for a week and then come back
to Tennessee. But I'll also be going We'll be going around the country and
we'll at some point we'll put off our schedule by the end of the month
so people will know where we're going. We're really responding to clusters of people,
particularly Celerit Report subscribers who want to meet up. And it's great because
when you know, one of the things that happens, and this is one
of the since I want to do this, is we have these wonderful subscribers
and they're in a place and they say they're no like minded people around,
and I'll look at our database and I'll say, look, they're a ton
of like minded people around, just they're all subscribing to the lead repoard.
So we'll go there and meet up, and then everybody meets and it's so
amazing to watch, David because literally you can be in some of these meetings
and within within an hour they look like they've known each other for twenty years.
It's so fabulous, you know, it's so fabulous. So that's great
anyway, So we're going to try and do a lot of meetups and make
sure people can find each other, you know, sort of in their local
areas. Good. So people check the checkslaar dot com samiliar to your schedule
as it gets finalized, because you're still building that. So that's great.
Looking forward to seeing you at one of these and I'll be checking the site
to see where it's going to be coming. Thank you so much for joining
us, Catherine Austin Fitz. Thank you, David. I just love what
