Catherine Austin Fitts (CAF), Publisher of The Solari Report, financial expert and former Assistant Secretary of Housing (Bush 41 Admin.), managed hundreds of billions of dollars in her career. She advises caution regarding the significant price increase for Bitcoin and other digital assets. CAF also warns about the latest plan for a "Bitcoin Depository."
"This is literally a Bitcoin for land-grab swap. . . . So, they take our retirement savings, what's left of it, and they take our taxes and use it to buy Bitcoin. The Bitcoin billionaires sell their Bitcoin into that at the same time they are taking advantage of the monetization of all the land and minerals," explains CAF.
She continues, "They can buy the land. . . . They want out of digital assets, and they want real assets. Right now, the whole race on the planet is to grab the real assets such as land, mineral resources, water resources, etcetera." The ownership by America's top 100 landowners has doubled; they're buying land instead of Bitcoin.
"What you are really seeing is a discussion to sell unreal assets to taxpayers and real assets to private parties. If this succeeds, it will be the biggest robbery and financial scam in history," warns CAF.
CAF also mentions that while "Bitcoin can go much higher," there's potential for its value to drop significantly as well. She predicts an increase in gold prices: "Gold will go much higher."
Gold is one asset that people can hold to counteract central bank financial control. Solari.com and CAF advocate for a report titled "What the States Can Do: Building the Legal and Financial Infrastructure for Financial Freedom." This year alone, CAF traveled 10,000 miles across America assisting states in implementing plans against digital control.
"We can stop financial control... There is a great deal states can do to preserve cash and checks in an analog digital system," says CAF.
She highlights North Dakota's state bank as an example every state could follow: starting state banks could protect liquidity locally with robust banking systems essential for supporting independent income on main street.
CAF suggests states should focus on creating gold and silver depositories rather than Bitcoin ones to maintain public financial independence from government or central bank oversight.
"The smart money is trying to control real assets," reiterates CAF.
On geopolitical matters, CAF believes Russia might avoid engaging in nuclear conflict soon but acknowledges ongoing war threats remain significant despite market perceptions otherwise relaxed about such risks:
"The danger isn't economic collapse; it's having a war," concludes CAF.
