Catherine Austin Fitts did a monumental interview with journalist Michael Yon just a couple of weeks ago that explains what the Iran war is all about.
Fitts, a former deputy assistant secretary for Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush administration and who now runs her own financial advisory firm, resides in Tennessee but lives more than half the year in the Netherlands. She is quite skeptical about where the Trump administration is taking America with its focus on wars overseas and erecting a digital surveillance grid here at home.
The Feb. 17 interview with Michael Yon took place two weeks before Trump launched his attack on Iran, but Fitts, like myself, already knew months ago that an attack was coming and could not be stopped even if Trump wanted to stop it. He is simply too controlled by his donors, who now own the White House and the Congress.
For this reason, the negotiations with Iran were a complete farce. They never consisted of a serious effort to resolve differences between the two countries. Trump simply had his two New York real estate agents posing as diplomats, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, hand the Iranians a set of demands and said take it or leave it, knowing full well that no sovereign nation could accept such demands.
The real reason for attacking Iran and trying to overthrow its regime has nothing to do with liberating the Iranian people or ridding the world of a dictatorship. Nor does it have anything to do with fighting Islam as so many conservatives foolishly believe. This war is being fought over who gets to control key shipping routes and resources (oil). Iran is positioned in a part of the world critical to both, and the fight for control of the emerging new digital economy precludes an Iranian regime that operates outside the Western global financial system, selling oil to China and India and selling drones to Russia, three countries the U.S. sees as rising competitors to its global hegemony.
“Wars are all about routes and resources,” Fitts said. “The Netherlands is in a strategic position on the North Sea at the mouth of the Rhine River, with Germany next door. They are trying to develop the Tri-State City at the German-Dutch border, which is a huge SMART City (prison city).”
After pausing for a moment, she thought of a better word to describe what Trump is creating in America and what the Europeans are creating in the E.U.
“It’s a digital concentration camp,” she said. “Physically and digitally designed for surveillance and control. What’s happening in Netherlands is very similar to what’s happening in US and North America. It’s the implementation of a digital control grid.”
She said there are 12 steps to total control.
“A corral is being built around us. They’ve been building three sides to the corral so it still feels free. But when a series of things happen with digital money, programmable money and AI, that snaps the fourth step into place and so you wake up in a state of total control.
“Many people don’t see it coming because there are many disparate parts,” she added.
The key thing you need for that fourth component to snap into place is you need a biometric digital ID that is “very precise and high quality, and therefore interoperable” and globally recognized, she said.
Two other components are a digital surveillance and tracking system, “basically trying to identify every person, what they do, where they’re going, their behaviors, including spending habits.”
There is enormous pushback starting to take place across America as the unseen portions of the control grid become more visible. Trump’s AI data centers, now being sited and built, are spurring the uproar in communities all over the country, as people realize these data centers will result in skyrocketing water and electric rates, while powering up the surveillance state.
“They’re putting in infrastructure at a very fast rate and it’s becoming visible. Most of it has been invisible but there are visible aspects now that people can see,” Fitts explained.
“They want many more telecom towers for 6G, then you have the AI data centers going in. The data centers are very important because of the massive amount of data input needed for this control grid. And we’re seeing increasing local opposition because of the environmental demands of energy, water and land are so enormous. And then, thirdly, you have the cameras and drones to control movements from the sky.”
Most people didn’t see the grid forming, but now suddenly with the drones and the towers and the data centers, people can see it with their own eyes. It’s become physical, tangible, and so you have the first signs of public pushback.
Fitts described what she sees as the “coup de gras,” the holy grail of the digital control grid. That’s tokenized “money” that is not only digitalized but also programmable.
This will take the form of a Central Bank Digital Currency in Europe. It will be Trump’s privatized, government-approved crypto in the US. Both are the same in that they are programmable and on a block-chain ledger.
“They’re different but serve the same end,” she said.
“The fourth gate on the corral locks in when not only can they control your movements with tracking but now they can turn your money on or off. And do it at a very granular level,” Fitts said. “It takes the control of fiscal policy out of the hands of the legislature and gives it to the bankers.”
Augustine Carstens, the general manager of the Bank for International Settlements, stated in an address to the IMF on October 19, 2020, how and why the central bankers see CBDCs as key to their totalitarian agenda, and everything they say about greater inclusiveness, security and convenience is mere window dressing meant to propagandize people into supporting their own imprisonment.
Watch Carstens make his audacious statement to the IMF in the video below:

Carstens said the key difference between digital and cash money “is the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank viability. And also, we will have the technology to enforce that. Those two issues are extremely important. And that makes a huge difference to what cash is.”
What Carstens was saying is that the bankers can set taxes and can decide how you use your money, so they can control where you go and what you can buy.
“You’re talking about extraordinarily granular control over 100 percent of your assets,” Fitts said. “They will have the ability to control all of your energy transactions and all of your financial transactions. We have a pandemic: Your money won’t work if you leave your house. Your electric car won’t work if you leave your house.”
The 12-day war last June started with the assassination of 10 of the 12 top government officials in Iran. It was no accident that they were able to find them and kill them on the day they wanted to carry out the assassinations.
“You’re tracking not just the leaders but the 92 million (Iranian citizens). You’ve got to identify everybody if you’re going to identify the leaders. If they can do it in Iran they can do it certainly in Europe and the United States,” Fitts said.
She has a special word for this control grid. It’s a “panopticon,” or a form of circular prison where everyone can be seen but nobody can see who is the guard that’s looking at them. In other words, nobody is watching the watchers.
Part of this system is we know from the food, the spraying and the injections and pharmaceuticals, we have particles in our bodies that make it much easier to identify.
She predicted that AI-driven mass surveillance will soon reach people’s minds through some type of biological host, whether installed through the food supply or vaccinations or some other delivery mechanism, “to affect how we think. AI will soon reach your mind, your thoughts won’t be private anymore.”
“So this surveillance system is very invasive and when you combine it with programmable money, then you’re talking about a slavery system. Because the legislature loses all its powers to the bankers. The bankers have complete control. They believe that with invisible technology…between the surveillance and coercion, they think they can implement centralized control, so you’re really talking about a dictatorship of the mega rich if this system locks into place.”
Fitts said the European version of the digital control grid seems less invasive and run more by sovereign governments, whereas the U.S. control grid is run by corporate elites in the tech and financial sectors who partner with the government.
“What the US is doing is they very much want this machinery run by private corporations. And it’s much more of a plunder economic model than a sovereign government having sovereign control. Think of it like this: North America is going warlord and Europe is going dictator.”
She is not optimistic that this beast system can be reined in, but people need to act now to figure out how captured they want to be by the algorithms of tyranny.
“If you look at the surveillance and coercion and the digital ID and the programmable money, most people in the G7 nations cannot fathom where this is going,” Fitts said. “I’ve been trying to explain for many decades where this is going. I came out of the Bush administration in 1991 and I said ‘the top guys are going to get ahold of this technology and kill us all.’ And for that reason I started Hamilton Securities and did everything I could to kind of come up with a plan B, because I didn’t want to be a slave. I didn’t want my family to be a slave. I didn’t want to live in a slave society. And it was clear what they were up to. But when you try to explain to people who have enjoyed the blessings of freedom, they can’t fathom why anybody would want to do this. And one of the things they don’t fathom is that there is a small percentage of the population who are born psychopathic, without empathy. And they are very good at getting together and organizing and using political and military means to get control. So it’s been very hard for the population to see how this fits together.”
The final goal, Fitts believes, is a surveillance mechanism “under the skin,” a warning that myself and others have echoed ever since the days of Covid and digital health passports were forced on people who wanted to enter large-venue events, event restaurants and pubs in many cities. At that time, around 2020 and 2021, futurists like Israeli historian Yuval Noah Harari predicted that the goal of elites was to take the new found surveillance created during Covid and place it “under the skin.”
This was the “next step,” Harari predicted, and we have no reason to believe it’s been changed.
“Chips under the skin, whether injected or sprayed, is the goal,” Fitts said. “To create an internet of bodies for surveillance, coercion and programmable money/financial control. When you tell people this it’s so hard to fathom that anybody would do this, but the system, the infrastructure is coming together and marching into place.”
More people are waking up, seeing the changing dynamic in the realms of banking and identification systems.
“And the general population can now start to fathom the agenda, and they’re seeing that it’s a very dark agenda,” Fitts said. “There’s a segment of the population definitely in a trance. Our leaders, though, have lost credibility. Nobody believes the government like they used to.”
The ultimate goal, according to Fits, “is to depopulate and control the remnant.”

A mobile phone is stolen in the capital every seven to eight minutes – and the force warns that children as young as 14 are being targeted over social media and paid up to £100 to steal phones for organised crime gangs. Recent figures show that between 2017 and February 27, 2024, out of a total of 587,498 phones stolen in London, excluding the City, just 13,998 were recovered. But the number of recorded mobile phone thefts in London fell to 71,391 last year, compared to 81,365 in 2024 – a drop of 12%.Police have seized a staggering 52 illegal e-bikes and mopeds in just two days in a war on ride-by targeting tourists visiting the UK’s theatre capital.

Drug gang who flooded UK county with ‘super heroin’ jailed for 90 years
Story by James Knuckey, Martin Naylor • 7h • 7 min read
A criminal migrant gang has been jailed for a total of almost 90 years for peddling drugs, including a ‘super heroin’, across the streets of Nottinghamshire. Members of the gang, which included three generations of the same family, have been sentenced following what police described as a “painstaking” investigation which spanned two years.Kingpins Shaun Lau and Daniel Yeboah were both handed 20-year jail terms by Judge Stuart Rafferty at Nottingham Crown Court. The pair were already serving time for drug trafficking. Nottinghamshire Police said the two men attempted to run their operations from their prison cells through an illegally obtained mobile phone device.The force said they and their co-defendants attempted to flood the city and county with drugs, including ‘a super heroin’ mixed with the highly dangerous substance, fentanyl, the results of which can be fatal.
The pair were in close contact with Hayley Price, from Sherwood, who would ensure the drugs were collected and distributed, Nottinghamshire Live reported.
ALL THESE PEOPLE JUST MUST BE SHIPPED HOME
Catherine Austin Fitts is MOST DEFINITELY controlled opposition.
Question: If any of you DELIBERTELY rammed a table into a bunch of high viz attack dogs (read cops ) as it did here a few years, what do you think would be the outcome?
Well Fitts did just this during the “conVid” BS. But did any high viz attack dog arrest this creature? NOPE!
“Fitts, a former deputy assistant secretary for Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush administration… ” — A huge read flag right there.
“…and who now runs her own financial advisory firm,… ” — so it’s a money grubber as well!
“… resides in Tennessee but lives more than half the year in the Netherlands.” — yea, to avoid paying income tax !
Oh a real dissident right there, eh?
criminal JEWSA + AsskeNAZIstan go to hell ! even
if satan JHWH gives them victory for their vast
amounds of money they suck from worldpopulation :
THEY WILL NEVER BE JUSTIFIED !
These stupid puppets, in the BIS, WEF, WHO etc really are incapable of seeing what they’re going to unleash when TSHTF. They truly do believe they’ll be safe and protected, when they implement their CBDC’s, Social credit scoring system and carbon taxes. They are not intelligent in the least because they are incapable of understanding history and reading the reality about what’s going to befall them.
“You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time” – P.T. Barnum
They have never lived the life that your average individual lives. They’ve never had a punch in the face. From school, to university, to their jobs in their respected positions, they have never had to live the real life and the real life consequences that come about from it. They’ve never been in the company of extremely violent and dangerous men. They actually think they’re untouchable. When life becomes unbearable, people react; even the stupid ones. All will eventually wake up and when that happens, these morons will hit reality like a watermelon hitting the ground after being dropped from a third floor window. The people will, literally, ripe them to pieces. Stupidity is not knowing the actions you’ve done will lead to serious consequence for you.

“And the general population can now start to fathom the agenda” … No, the general population cannot fathom practically anything, because most people are dumber than dog shit. If you showed this piece to 10 random people on the street, maybe 1 would get it, 4 imbeciles in drastic need of lobotomies via bricks would parrot out “that’s conspiracy theory”, and the remaining 5 would be too f*cking stupid and/or lazy to be able to read it.
Revolution Now…and hang the f*cking “bankers”.
“there is a small percentage of the population who are born psychopathic, without empathy. And they are very good at getting together and organizing and using political and military means to get control.”
What group of people might Fitts be referring to?
Being “quite skeptical” is not enough about where they are taking us. There must be a revolution of the people, by the people and for the people against the ruling corporatocracy and they must be brought down very hard such that there is a lasting basis to severely punish all of the abuses of power by anyone in authority or in a position of trust. There can no longer be anyone who live and operate above the law or people in positions of power who think they have a right to lie to us, to distort the facts, and withhold any information from us vital to our interests. There can no longer be a privileged class of people thinking any human is sub human to their own kind.
Iran will show the world how to resist. Yes, in a ground war of attrition they may not succeed but it will break the US, and other nations without nukes who want freedom and self determination can break the strangle hold on their own peoples, as long as they follow the lead and rise up at the same time. They can invest in missile and drones to scatter the sitting ducks of oppression. If they cannot have expensive nukes they can now afford the more inexpensive ones for their own protection. They are at war against us. Let us give it back to them.
Welcome to the world dominated by the Epstein-Drunpfenshit regime! Long live MAGA!
so, better dont rise children ! their life
will only be (short) life slavery + control .
if they are old or dont funktion as TPTB
want get exterminated . and when you see
today the world totaly comercialised .
nothing natural + original by creation +
everything is artificial you will not be anymore
in that world . suicides numbers will grow .
Controlling the remnant is only an interim stage. The final goal is a transhuman immortal elite and everyone else exterminated.
BBC plans for end of the licence fee as we know it
Story by Adam Sherwin
The BBC warned that the the licence fee is in “irreversible” decline and urged the Government to back a new, “fairer” funding mechanism, which could see people pay less.
The BBC has been rocked with hiding child molester scandals, incorporating subliminals pushing the homosexual and warfare envelope
and just being anti-British
Just one thing here, after pushing the war on Germany like crazy the BBC ran a ” comedy ” series about a patriotic Englishman called Alf Garnet played by a zionist jew which was the most vile propaganda hate crime even for the BBC
Service men in ww 2 called it ” Bullshit time ”
Rising levels of disgust evasion and non-payment, which cost the corporation more than £1bn last year, require an overhaul of a charge “designed for another era”, which is set to rise to £180 in April. The BBC raised the possibility of the first licence fee cut in history, if the number of paying households increased, with those unaware they need a licence to watch TV online being targeted.
In response to a Government Green Paper on the future of the BBC, it ruled out introducing advertising to its main channels and putting shows behind a Netflix-style subscription paywall.
in its proposals to change the licence fee, which last year brought in £3.8bn of revenue, the BBC pointed to the German system where citizens pay a “digital public service media” tax of €18.36 (£16) per month regardless of whether they watch or listen to the nation’s equivalent of the BBC.
The BBC also said it was “instructive” to look at the example of Finland, “where they introduced a charge linked directly to an individual’s personal income”.
The Finnish tax is automatically deducted based on annual income, with rates ranging from €0 to €160 (£139) for individuals over 18, and up to €3,000 for businesses.
Look just ban it people sick of it

comment –
“Why only the choice between unipolarity and multipolarity? Both are forms of totalitarian and undemocratic power structures. What happened to the rule of law, trust and truth, and the original conventions in which each nation’s integrity was to be protected? Obviously, this third option is being demined to us by both the unipolar and multipolar powers manipulating us in their fake dialectic, no doubt eventually to trot out their globalist nag of a top-down totalitarian order ruled by the major powers under the umbrella of the financial industrial complex run by the usual suspects – in order no doubt to make us “safe” at the very last minute from the mother of all fears which is their contrived “threat” of a nuclear WWIII.”
@ markie,
She’s referring to the, at most, 1% of humans across all races and cultures that are psychopaths. The 3-4% that some quack psychologists push is completely bloated and exaggerated. What, you think it’s “all dem joos” doing this? Are you another glorified nazi like Nico X?
No. “dem joos” wouldn’t be able to pull off even 5% of what they have without their ass-licking shabbos goy.
One need only read the outstanding “Political Ponerology” by the esteemed A.M. Lobaczewski to truly understand how psychopathy blends in with institutions, and before you know it, you’re ruled by child rapists of all persuasions … not just “dem joos”.
All of this jewish insanity means the jews are probably going to find themselves “depopulated” en masse. They keep up their increasing onslaught and wonder why they are hated. It is a genetic flaw in thinking that is going to get them erased by every culture on earth acting in unison.
first : ALL OIL + GAS MUST STOP !
before that european sleepy sheeps will
not wake up . Putin please stop everything
to the europeans . Iran close Hormuz long time !
@ MIke D
“No. “dem joos” wouldn’t be able to pull off even 5% of what they have without their ass-licking shabbos goy.”
Absolutely agree, it’s the corruptibility of the Goy that has made JWO agenda possible, most of which are recruited and controlled through Freemasonry. which is just Judasim/Kabbalism for the Goyim. However, its obvious that K.A. Fitts is a typical controlled op- limited hangout mouthpiece that elucidates all the details of the conspiracy/agenda without identifying Judaism as the culprit – that was my point.
