Inflation is rising at its fastest rate in 40 years. Inflation hit its highest levels since 1982. Americans are paying an additional $276 per month. Fuel food and shelter the biggest drivers behind inflation's highest increase in four decades. There is fresh evidence tonight of just how bad inflation has gotten in the U.S. Consumer prices in January jump 7.5% from a year earlier. Everything has really gone up and it's gone up. substantially food almost 10%. Look at gas. I mean, that's out of control. But, you know, rent,

5% electricity, almost 12%. The Consumer Price Index report showing a 7.9% rise over the last year. Experts are saying expect to see that inflation number rise even more, potentially surpassing eight. We're finding it's much harder to reopen the economy than it was to shut down. And the costs have been staggered. Inflation's not gentle. It's a sledgehammer. And we're seeing that play out in the numbers. The Biden administration acknowledging it may get even worse before it gets better. Well, I mean, we've shown you the news.

We're all seeing it in the news, of course. We've just talked to Shad on the ground level when it comes to food. I want to take maybe a sort of bird's eye view with someone that perhaps understand some of the political implications of what we're seeing here. Of course, I'm talking about, you know, one of our favorite guests. We've had her before Catherine Austin Fitz, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, former managing director, member of the board of directors of Dylan Reed and company, and she's the president of Salari, Inc.

And if you haven't checked out Solari.com, then you're missing out on one of the great resources on the planet Earth today. It's my honor and pleasure to be joined now by Catherine Austin Fitz. Catherine, thank you for taking the time today. Hey, Del. And you know, and I just have to compliment you on your last guest I was sitting here watching. What a great description of what's going on in the food supply. Really, really good. And so when you watch that, let's just start right there because, I mean, you have worked for the government. You've watched how, you know, and it's not easy, right? I mean, I think we judge that government's hard to keep hundreds of millions of people in some sense of order decisions have to be made. but here you have a rancher

he's just on the ground this is just a working man this is literally you know the backbone of America when I said to him is we think of the American cowboy

there's no image that better signifies who we are as a nation and how we started to think that the pressure he's feeling and he seems to have a sense that it's coming from

powers that are higher up outside of his direct contact what is your sense of that from you know from the background that you've had when we look at so we we've had a process that has been going on for a long time in many industries but you really see it and feel it and food and that process is to create an unfair state of play between insiders and outsiders and government policy being used to significantly advantage the insiders vis-a-vis the outsiders and and if you

you know, and that's not one thing, it's thousands of different policies, but it significantly advantages or results in the consolidation of an enormous amount of production and distribution in the seed and food supply into the big corporations. And this is a government policy. There is, I mean, to give you an advantage,

you saw it many times during the financial crisis, you know, we have people on credit cards who are even farmers financing their crops borrowing at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30% while the New York Fed member banks are borrowing money at 0%. Right. Right. I mean, you know if you're competing in an auction and a guy who's paying 0% for his capital and you're paying 5, 10, 15, 30, you know, whatever.

I think the last time I looked the average American credit card was 17%. And, you know, to give you. one of the ugliest examples, look at what we're charging students for their loans when the big banks are getting bailouts essentially for free and borrowing for next to nothing. So when we look at this, and I think that's incredible, is that because, is it that the, I mean, do we have a nation now, as far as the United States of America's concern, that is really catering to lobbyists who are representing, you know, stockholders versus the actual, all the ground worker or where is that pressure coming? Why is the government siding with with sort of the

insiders as you'd say? So this is happening for many, many reasons. But one of the reasons it's happening is digital technology allows you to centralize control in multiple ways. And so the players who get good at the technology and sophisticated at the technology are are moving. at a much higher speed in the marketplace than those who don't. So part of this is really a digital technology game. And as you consolidate capital into a big corporation, that corporation has the power to pay for lobbyists. It has the power to pay for all sorts of policies

that lower its cost of capital by moving and playing offshore and creating long supply chains down into Latin America. You know, the list goes on and on. But the reality is that we've allowed, we've basically allowed Wall Street in Washington to continually centralize through criminal means. And so we have the U.S. federal government acting outside of the financial management laws for decades, and that is directly advantaged or related to the insider outsider game. So if you run the American government for many decades outside of the Constitution and you disobey the financial management laws, you end up with enormous centralization of money and power.

And when you say centralization, is that something that just centralize in America we think about the Fed Bank? Or are you looking at this as more of a globalist centralization that's taking place around the world? So this is happening globally, but let me just look, let me use an example of the last two years. And this is something used so many times and talked about many times. So we announced we have a pandemic. And then we announce that the small businesses have to close, but the big businesses can stay open because they're essential. So if you're an insider, your business is essential. And if you're outside, your business is not.

essential and and the way that's engineered literally town by town is suddenly all of my customers at a small business now have to go to the big business and it helps drive the stock market up because that big business is a publicly traded business and so you shut down 10 small businesses and everybody goes to Costco or Walmart or the the large business which is allowed to stay open and and you you all those businesses pick up dramatic amounts of market share overnight, thanks to government policy. There was a, I don't know if you saw it, there's a wonderful argument between Rick Santilli and one of the hosts on his network where the host is trying to explain that it is science that 10 businesses have to shut down right next to in sharing the same parking lot with a large big box

store which can stay open because the magic virus will not attack you in the big box store, but it will cause you to get sick in the small business. Right. So that's what we call disaster capitalism. It's economic warfare. And the government is engineering a takeover of the market share of the small business essentially for free rather than have to compete in the marketplace and win that business. Instead, you know, it's engineered by, you know, it's engineered by, you know, regulation. I'll give you another perfect example. Congressman Massey is from Kentucky. Yeah. And he's worked for several years to get a bill passed called the Prime Act. Yeah. That would allow significantly more dispersion of slaughter and meat processing. And this is incredible,

because if you look at what it takes for a small business to be profitable, one of the things that helps in the states where they've allowed farmers to process up to 20,000 chickens on their farm, in fact, they can be highly profitable. I in Tennessee, I live next to a dairy farm that had to shut down because basically the state and federal regulations made it possible to be economic. But if they were allowed to just sell directly to their neighbors and be lifted from an incredible amount of what is not. not necessary food safety regulations. They could be highly profitable. And think about it. So here I am in a state of Tennessee

and I've got a significant number of the population. I think it's up to 25% on food stamps funded by taxpayers. And they're all going down to a big box store buying food that shipped in, you know, a tremendous amount of it from 1,000 miles away. And yet there's tons of empty land. And there are a tremendous number of people who could be gardening and doing small farms that could sell directly to them. And in fact, in Tennessee, we've got a great state legislator, Frank Nicely, who's been working to change the rules so that we can have much more food sold locally, you know, person to person.

Maine just passed a great new piece of legislation helping to facilitate the local markets. So what you're saying, so to understand. understand this in some ways. I mean, I grew up a liberal, progressive, environmentalist. I, you know, was always angry that, you know, regulatory agencies weren't being taken seriously. They're there to protect the people from poisoning of rivers, all those things. That was the culture with which I grew up in. But now I'm seeing things differently. It's almost like regulatory regulations as a weapon against the common worker in man. And so what you're basically saying is, is it the, The USDA is sort of forcing a third party to do the manufacturing.

I'm not allowed to kill and process my own chickens so I can sell it to my neighbors. I have to deliver them all to a plant that takes that and is now regulated. And so I'm unable to be allowed. Is this part of what Massey's talking about? I want to be allowed to deliver to my local consumers that are standing right there, standing in bread lines, food lines and say, hey, I've got food right here. I can process for you. But there's this regulation that in order to.

to make sure it's safe, has got to go through some central plant that's being controlled, and those plants are burning down and being more and more limited, more and more controlled by the industry? You know, in theory, there's a great number of regulations that have initially been adopted that makes sense and are theoretically very good. But that's only if you have a regulatory infrastructure who is committed to the fundamental purpose and allowed to implement that fundamental purpose of that regulation. So what I would submit, and if you come to Salary, I have a great online book called Dylan Reed in the aristocracy of stock profits, where I sort of explain what happened.

But a decision was made at the end of the budget, sort of, you had a huge budget war with people trying to get a financially responsible budget through the Congress in 1995. That failed, and the decision was made subsequent to essentially give up on the U.S. governmental mechanism and engineer of financial coup d'etat. So I had one of the largest pension funds in the country say to me, they've given up on the country, they're moving all the money starting out in the fall. And literally what we saw was a process began where every year the government would report

that literally trillions of dollars had gone missing. And this has happened year after year from fiscal 1998 until 2015. when a series of policies got implemented that they just stopped reporting. And if you go to Salary, we have a whole website dedicated to this. It's called missingmoney.cellary.com. That's our homepage. You can link to missing money from the homepage.

And we've been able to document all of this. By 2017, we teamed up with a wonderful professor from Michigan State University who did with his graduate students a complete survey. And as of 2015, 21 trillion was, we had 21 trillion of undocumented adjustments from the federal government. And at that point, Dell, there was $21 trillion in outstanding treasury debt on the books of the U.S. government. So think of it this way. You know, people will tell you that the U.S. government is bankrupt. And what I can tell you is not bankrupt at all.

It's been robbed. Now, I look at that as a change of control. In other words, it's a coup by financial means. And what we saw the pandemic was an acceleration of the financial coup into a real coup d'etat. And now what we're watching is a governmental entity, which is not implementing the law, as you and I know it, they're implementing a centralization of control. Well, I was going to, so when I look at that, you know, one of the things that I like to do is sort of just, you know, pretend house shop. I'm always watching the value of my own house. You know, I moved to Austin.

At a good time, Austin was up and coming. I left California where things have always been very high price. But I will tell you watching sort of the value of the house that I'm in right now, the way to skyrocketing, I just keep thinking about that famous video by the World Economic Forum that states that every one, will rent. That that's the dream of the future. No one will buy and we'll all be eating fake meat and all of these different things. But that part of everyone will rent, I've been calling friends of mine and saying, you know, watching this housing market, you know, and I have some of my friends that are even family members that are, you know, in tiny houses and, you know, really fulfilling this liberal dream. And I said, you know what? Wherever you're at, I would say buy a piece of

this earth however you can. this year because between inflation and everything else it appears to me that the the value of my house no one's ever going to pay that but for a ranch house you know sitting on on a piece of land just doesn't you know we're looking at houses could end up being millions of dollars that were just two three years ago a few hundred thousand dollars how does that are we really being driven into a culture that's just going to be renting so so your your house is not going up in value the value of the currency that you price your house in is going to is going down in value.

Okay. So inflation, inflation is what we're seeing. What you're watching is debasement of the currency, but let me describe it. I'm going to grossly oversimplify. Okay. Let's pretend you have an island with two people on it and a central bank.

And the central bank prints money and gives it to one person. And then they print more money and they give it to the same person. And they print more money in the same. So let's say they increase the money supply on the island from a million to 100 million, except every time they print a million, they only give it to one person, not the other. Okay. You know, at that point, it's fair to say that the person

with, let's say, they now have 99.5 million, they're going to run the price up of everything, and they can buy out the other person, right? Right. Right. Right. So you're going to be, you know, what we've seen, and it's, you know, this has been a, you know, this has been a going on for a long time and this inflation has built up tremendously over many decades is we've seen a completely insider outsider game where the insiders get tremendous benefits so during 2008 if a farmer failed he didn't get a bailout the people who caused him to fail got the bail out and radically increase their market share correct and he went under right right right And that's an insider outsider game.

That has nothing to do with free markets. It has nothing to do with a bad business cycle. That's engineered. I mentioned to you the other day that Joel Dyer wrote, I think his name was Joel Dyer, a book called Harvest of Rage. And he had intended to talk about the militia movement. And what he discovered was that you had a group of remarkable farmers and ranchers who'd been pumped and dumped and dumped by a combination of U.S.

and the SDA policies combined with a vulgar dramatic increase in the interest rates. But they'd basically been pumped and dumped financially and destroyed. It was really an entrapment, at which point the FBI and the IRS moved in and moved against them, at which point they realized that they were the target of very significant and criminal economic warfare and started to organize the militias to defend themselves in very constitutionally legal ways. And Dyer explains, you know, once you get under all this shrika, I call it the shrieka meter, you know, the spin on who and what they were.

You realize what you've got is the backbone of America being eaten alive by very sophisticated financial games and organizing to try and do something about it. Is it, I mean, you know, we're dwelling here in the potential to always be called conspiracy theorists. We have, you know, food shortages, it seems, on the horizon. The ranchers being pressed. Fertilizer is not getting out. I mean, all this could be greed on one side, but strangely, over 20, you know, packaging plants and middlemen, you know, delivery plants burning down. And on top of this, I just keep looking at the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab bragging about this great future where there's going to be this great equalizing event and through this COVID pandemic and all of his cronies, whether it's Trudeau up in Canada, you know, or Biden here build back better.

And yet the more we hear the hammer of building back better, the more that hammer seems to be building us a coffin. And I'm wondering, is this, do you feel like, and I asked Chad this, is this an agenda? I mean, are we really under attack? Or is it just greed and sort of this random, you know, that the financial interest will always go for what they want? And those of us in the outside are it's just sheer dumb luck or is there a concerted effort against us? So the leadership has made a command decision to use advanced technology developed over the, the last 50 years to dramatically consolidate control. So if you go back through history and you look,

the single most profitable business we've ever had as an investment was slavery. And if you look at what caused us to stop the African American slave trade, one of the primary reasons was you couldn't perfect collateral. Now with digital technology, you can perfect collateral. And with modern media and telecommunications, you can use perfected collateral in ways that allow you to dramatically influence what they think in their behavior. Okay. So technology is giving you the ability to to return to a form of governance structure where the few can control completely the many and do it in a way where the many don't even realize.

Now, if you look at all the struggles that the American leadership had with working with with the mechanics of the federal government as it exists. They're trying to build and run a unipolar empire globally with a domestic population that doesn't understand what the issues are and what they need to do. So here you've got this mechanism, which depends on the consensus of the people, but you're trying to run a global empire.

And not only that, you know, the invisibility of your weapons, whether they're mind control technology or lasers or satellites from space, you know, they give you phenomenal power that goes to your head. You know, Leonard Cohen once said, we're blinded by the beauty of our weapons. And so you have a group that's gotten, you know, they've gotten the bit in their teeth of what they can achieve globally, and they have no more tolerance to deal with the general population.

Part of this is because you've had so much, of the economy and operations, whether government or private, run behind secrecy. And you've literally ended up dividing as civilizations. And what we've watched is the civilization of the leadership has now completely broken away. When you're with them and you're talking with them, they don't even think of the general population as part of the same civilization. They have different laws. They have different, you know, they have a different culture. They now have complete financial independence, they believe.

And they have gotten the general population to go along with what they're doing to the extent that they've lost all respect for the general population. So there's a cycle of disrespect. And there are many people in the leadership who've wanted to do the right thing, but they can't break through this cycle of disrespect. And they can't, you know, Jeb Bush wants to, said, you cannot create a constituency for financial responsibility. And I want to, I want to second that, having been a federal regulator and dealt with very big money in the government,

you know, everybody comes to Washington and they want to get their check or they want to get their contract, they want to get their new financial benefit. And the guy who hands it out to them is the guy who gets their vote and gets their support. So, and there are many solutions to this. But the people who've decided to basically re-engineer the mechanism have decided central control works best for them. They've lost confidence in the general population. When we're looking at all of these strange anomalies happening all at the same time, food issues, gas prices, inflation, a war in Russia and Ukraine that sort of magically happens

the moment the vaccine proves to be a complete failure. and we're just about to have to tell you you're going to live with COVID and sorry we messed this up. Oh, there's a war. Everybody look over here. I've talked to other financial analysts that will say that Europe is bankrupt, that they have spent all of the pension funds and the great reset is just a way of hiding the fact that they're going to quietly announce to you that you have no money. You know, the money you were counting on your retirement is not there. And then strangely at the same time, COVID seemed to attack that pension.

group, right? The elderly. Now, again, I'm not, I've never said on this show that I believe in depopulation, but it's getting harder and harder the way these things sort of line up so perfectly. Okay, so we just have to stop with this conspiracy thing. Okay. I grew up as a conspiracy footchelter. Okay. All I did, my whole career, was engineered conspiracies. I was taught that the fundamental train tracks of reality or conspiracies. The way you build your future is one transaction at a time. And of course, you always do it with a conspiracy. You keep, you know, you have to be discreet. You get together with the group of people. You get together with small groups that, that make a decision. Small groups and you figure out what you want to do and you build forward.

Okay, the whole world is run with conspiracies. Now, I always thought of conspiracies is wonderful things. They were fun to do. They were delicious. I was great at it. I loved money. You know, what not to love about this. And when we end this, the Salary report, you know, I always say, don't ask if there's a conspiracy. If you're not in one, you need to start one. Okay. And one of the things that absolutely stunned me when I got booted out of the out of the establishment, you know, I go out in the wilderness and everybody's talking about conspiracies, like they're terrible things. I said, are you crazy? You know, conspiracies are great. You better get in the business of building. Because if you want to build a local food,

supply. You know, if you want to get together with your neighbors and do a food club, if you want to finance a farmer, you better get in the business of transacting your way into building the future you want. Because you're all sitting here scared putting all your money into finance the national security state that's trying to kill you. Why are you financing the people who are killing you? Go feed the, you know, go finance the people who are who are feeding you. You know, give money to the sheriff who's running who's going to be honest, you know, invest in the local rancher farmer. Go buy some I mean, there are thousands of ways to do this. But anyway, so my attitude is what I discovered was that someone had persuaded the general population to denigrate conspiracies because that would make them powerless. And then they wouldn't compete to buy and control the land or, you know, compete to buy and control the state legislators. In other words, you know, this whole thing about conspiracies is getting us to resign for the game. So if you don't like Klaus Schwab's conspiracy, let's start a conspiracy. And, you know, because I'll be blunt.

That's what's hilarious. Solaris is a conspiracy. And I'm proud of it because I'm a conspiracy footjelcher. That's what I've been in my whole life. So, you know, let's get in the game. Because if you look at the conspiracies, they're engineering, you know, we're going to be eating insects. Takes the conspiracy to be a conspiracy. Absolutely.

Absolutely. Right. The reason I left, I took one look at the plan, you know, the way they were going to offset all the inflation. Because what we've watched Dell since the strong dollar policy in the middle of the 90s is they've been printing massive amounts of money and then engineer and deflation that would offset the inflation. And the pandemic was one of the great last, you know, Fauci basically, you know, is rented to

He's like a deflation doll. You know, we need more deflation. Okay, change the restrictions and, you know, and shut down more. It's demand destruction. He's a demand destruction machine. That's what he does. It has nothing to do with health. It has to do with shutting down demand and moving the market share

into the insiders. Okay? So we've got to, when I took a look at what they were up to, I said, I hate their plan. It's not going to work. I want, I don't want to be in on the deal. So I'm going to go out in the wilderness and see if, you know, if if a decentralized group of people can pull back power and decentralized power. Because the centralized thing, which depends on complete control, I mean, we're talking about returning to slavery.

You know, and if you think it's a problem, they're going to take your your house, wait, did they come in and take your kids? Right. Okay. Yeah. So this is much darker than just take your house. So I said complete control won't work. It's a terrible plan. We got to come up with plan B.

How that's... How important are the kids? That's what interests me. So I want you to embrace your inner conspiracy creation. I love that perspective. I mean, I haven't really heard it stated that way. And I get that. I guess in some ways, you know, the high wire and the informed consent action network is

a conspiracy group. Then we're working to bring truth about against the means. media system that keeps saying we're the enemy. We are. We are the enemy to the lies being, you know, propagated by mainstream media and we're using legal cases to make our point. But you just said something about the children, that your children being taken away. How, when you work in government, you worked under George Bush in urban development, how much are the children a focus of our government? I feel like in many ways, we just, it's not until this vaccine issue that we started thinking my god like why does senator richard pan care what's happening inside my house with my

kids how much of a focus are our children as we think they're just worried about us we're the taxpayers is government focused on our children or or is that changing i would say they're most focused on on the children so if you want to accelerate change so if you want to move from a human civilization to transhumanism. The way to do it fast is not to wait for a generation to die. You get control of the children and you get them to embrace transhumanism and reject their parents. Now remember, because you're looking to steal all the retirement savings or control it and engineer it in certain ways, when you do that, you want to be able to maintain the loyalty of the younger generation. I'll give you a perfect example.

Okay. In 2017, I was invited to a conference at the Aspen Institute in Colorado. And at one point, someone got up and made a presentation to the crowd. It was a cryptocurrency crowd about how great it would be to destroy the U.S. government and then take all the remaining assets and auction them off. So I stood up and I said, okay, if you come into any county in America, the 3,100 counties, what you'll discover is that more than 50% of the people in that county depend on government checks, Social Security, their military pension, their federal government pension, you know, all these

different things. What you're going to do is in one day you're going to wipe out 50% of the income, and then you're going to wipe out within a week all the retail that depends on that income. So you're basically going to take 75% of the income in that county, and a lot of the income. wipe it out overnight, which, which point, you know, everybody's got, maybe they got three weeks of cash, then three weeks of food, you know, and they can go without food and cash for three weeks, and then they're all debt. You know, is that really what you want? And you had a group of people saying, it's no problem, we're just going to get everybody on Bitcoin and everything will be fine. And they were enthusiastically embracing a abrogation of all the commitments to their parents

and grandparents. I said, how many people have grandparents who will go bankrupt when you do this? But they weren't making the intergenerational connection. And what you were seeing was a pitch that was designed to keep the young loyal and turn them against the other generation. So all part of a financial divide and conquer strategy. When we see all these conversations and we just saw a huge issue in Florida with DeSantis basically, you know, conversation, which seems like just a school issue, you know, up to third grade. We don't want them talking about sexual, you know, positions and choices up to third grade.

Disney came out against it. DeSantis then, you know, launched, you know, really an investigation of Disney, at which point they sort of lost their, here we go, Ron DeSantis fires back at Disney will pay its fair share of taxes. I mean, we've all been watching this happen in the news, but how much of this, like you talk about the children, is the government, is this all a part of it? like, you know, we see, it seems like the, and Virginia was a really good word. The governor said parents have no right to be discussing the education of the children.

Is this all a part of a concerted attempt to get involved? Like, and vaccination, really, vaccine mandates say the parent has no choice here. We own your children, not the parents. So this is a migration of a model from a constitutional republic to, slavery where children are livestock. And you're free to experiment with them if you want to try, you know, prototype moving a man to a woman or a woman to a man. In other words, you're looking to literally assert control of them as if they're

livestock and use them in a variety of ways and ways which are not acceptable to parents or teachers. So, you know, when, when And I'll never forget, I had one wonderful subscriber from the Slayer Report, send me a video of two mothers in California discussing their efforts to stop the sex education. And they very graphically showed the materials and described what it happened to their kids. And what I will tell you, Dell, the only time I've ever seen that material before is when you're grooming children to be sex slaves. That's the only time I've ever seen that material before. It's been really strange to watch, you know, Gen Saki and our government,

literally crying over adults not being able to talk about sex with young children. It's totally bizarre. We could, look, we could go on for days on sort of this mass degradation from so many different levels, but I think we're agreed. And I love the idea that there are not only other conspiracies, should all be starting one. As you think of solutions, I mean, again, I started out the show. I

truly believe we have the power. I believe that this, I don't care what anyone says, you know, people will say to me, Del, you're just naive, you know, the vaccine pushers, this is this whole give up on COVID's just a farce. It's just to get us to believe baloney. There's no way they want to see Iowa polls showing that only 34% now believe in the childhood vaccine program. We have clearly shifted this conversation. We've, you know, used that sort of tight, taekwondo, use their energy against them. It's working. They're going back to the drawing boards. So what are the ways, you know, when you think of solutions, what do we, is just a person sitting in our home, what do we do to rein back power from those on the inside to get it back to the outsiders?

So I'm with you. I think we can turn things. And the question is, how much pain do we have to experience before we do? Yeah. You know, because part of this is building a critical mass of people in every community and county who are willing to act. And there are thousands of things we can do as an individual, as a family, as a small, as neighbors, as a small community. And I think the most important thing I would encourage people to do is one,

you know, one, I do believe, and part of it is I'm a Christian, you know, that we have the victory because they are few and we are many. But the other thing is, I really want to encourage you to think small and think about what you can do. So the first thing I used to encourage my clients to do when I was a investment advisor is sit down, you know, take out a piece of paper and do a time budget, do a sources and uses of time, and look at you know where you invest your time and start to remove from that uses of time anything that's draining you or has you doing business or dealing with people who don't have integrity or your best interested heart so you know turn off your tv turn off you know let's say you can turn off your

tv for and that gives you two hours so use that two hours and gang up with your neighbors start a conspiracy if you want, and use that time to get a decent sheriff elected, or to find a good local bank where you and 10 of your neighbors and friends can start to get the kind of banking relationship that you deserve. So get the bad guys out of your balance sheet, get them out of your financial statements, get them out of your head, get them out of your life. I know they know part of this because they're watching eyewire, but. You know, I call it Coming Clean. If you come into Slear, we have a great article called Coming Clean, and you can walk through the coming clean process, but get them out of your life, get technology under control.

You know, because we're allowing very sophisticated and dangerous surveillance technology into our lives. And we need to do a much better job of handling that and protecting ourselves and our families from it. So we have another great piece that Cori Lynn wrote for us called Lucent Technologies Grip. And so we'll put links. We have a little commentary that we made for this show. And we'll put links to coming clean and loosen technology's grip. But start to get the bad guys out of every aspect of your life and start to build that, which is healthy. The most important thing you have to do if you want to be financially secure is you have to build good health.

The number one thing that destroys people's health and people's time in America, you know, one vaccine injury can cost a family one to five million dollars and destroy their time. I mean, just destroy their time. So first you've got to get really savvy about managing your family's health and how you invest your money to stay healthy. And that means great food, fresh food, kind of food, your prior guest, the rancher was talking about. about and and you know I'm in Europe right now and the Europeans spend more on food and less on health care on the back end because they're taking care. Now you know one thing I not everybody's a gardener but remember in World War II we had people start gardens crash course and within two or three years I think 40% of the fruits and vegetables were coming

from just family gardens you know we can do that again it's fun for a lot of people to grow food. And again, you can, you can team up. I always encourage people to go find the local food chapter of Western Price Foundation. You know, find the local foodies because that's your constituency for freedom. So, and interestingly enough, if you're going to do a local currency, and there are many great ways to start a local currency, but if you're going to do a local currency, you got to have the local food thing working too. It's, it's this, you know, it's, it's, it's, two sides of a coin. You have to have resiliency in your local food system if you want to be able to get a local currency growing. So there are many things you can do, but you have to organize them

in a way that saves you time and gives you energy. And the more you get people who are driven out of your life, it's like, I don't know, I used to liken it to a tapeworm. We all have a tapeworm. We have a a financial tapeworm, we have a political tapeworm. If we're going to get the tapeworm out of our life, we need to detox the tapeworm. And part of that's financial, part of that's media. I will say this, America has great, particularly in the food area, they have great leaders. And the hardest thing for me when I was in Washington is to see people support the criminals and ignore the great leaders. So I mentioned Congressman Massey. I have a Senator in Tennessee, he's not my district, but I support him, Senator Frank nicely.

Every state legislator has these great people who are supporting the Constitution, who are trying to protect your food supply. Will you please ignore the presidential election and support them? Support the people who are really in the trenches, you know, and I'm glad you put up the thing from DeSantis. DeSantis, I can't tell you what it's like to talk to a small business person from Florida. You mentioned DeSantis. They want to cry. They're so grateful. Same with South Dakota. Yeah. So we have one of the things that happened during the pandemic, you started to see who's who. We have great leaders. If more and more people see us really gathering and supporting them, you know, because many people say I'm too busy to take action. I said you're not too busy to look around

your community and find the city council member or the city council member or the city. the activist or the civic leader or the senator, the state senator or the state, you know, House member who's really holding the line of protecting you and just support them. Yeah. That's it. It's really, it's so, I mean, those are all really great points. And I love that. You know, we've all got to build a time budget, you know, get together and focus on where's

our energy going. It's such a great place to start. And from that, I think we naturally, our intuition will guide us. where we need to go. The greatest political tactic ever created was shunning. Shunning. Just start shunning the bad guys. Yeah.

Calling him out, shunning him. So, I mean, you know, if you've read Bobby Kennedy's book and you're not shunning Fauci and his group. Well, by the way, you know, it takes some time to get through Bobby Kennedy's book. So that's part of some of your time mapping. Shut off the TV and pick up that book. it's critical to you understanding the world we live in. But I have to, I just have to tell you, the book came in on Friday. I started Saturday morning.

I didn't have time to read a book. I didn't want to spend my Saturday off reading about Anthony Fauci. So I said, I'm just going to, I'm just going to read a chapter or two. Dell, I couldn't put it down the whole day. That was it. It's fantastic. I read it over a weekend, too. It's engaging.

It's powerful. And boy, you really learn some things. No matter where you think you're at on this, it was totally revealing. Catherine Austin Fitz, your amazing, salari.com.
