To build personal resilience, Fitts recommends developing a personal missio

(Mercola)—As the technocratic cabal continue to tighten their grip on the world population, there are those who continue to fight back and spread the word of what’s really happening right now. One brave person leading the charge is Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and president of the Solari Report.

Fitts also worked as the assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during the Reagan administration. This gives her incredible insight on the inner workings of the financial system on both sides — the banking industry and the government.

In an interview with Tucker Carlson, she shares where your taxes are going, and what you can do to protect yourself and your family from what’s to come.1 I encourage you to watch the entire interview, as it contains profound revelations about the state of the world today.

Money as a Means of Control

If you’ve been regularly reading my articles, you’ll know that Fitts has been fighting to get the word out on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) for many years now. Ultimately, the goal of this platform is to put an end to currency as we know it, forcing people to conform to whatever the central banks want to push:

The plan was set in motion long ago — According to Fitts, the central banks have been slowly pushing to digitize currency:

“It’s absolutely happening. And what’s important to understand, it’s been happening for a long time. In other words, this is like an invisible corral that they’ve been building around you for a long, long time. Because how do a few sneak up on the many? Well, you have to do it very quietly, invisibly, before you throw the trap. So essentially, what they’re building, because it’s converting a currency system into a control system.

So, it’s really the end of currency. And what they’re doing is they’ve been building the different digital pieces, and when it integrates and comes together, then you literally have a digital concentration camp. It’s complete and utter control.”

Control is now personalized to fit the person — With the technological advances today, Fitts noted that control can now be tailored to a person, allowing central banks greater influence on an individual’s life:

“What we’re talking about is a system where you can surveil control and influence one person at a time. And with AI and software, each person can have their custom surveillance, each influence nudging and control system and punishment, yes, enforcement.”

The model of control put into action — One prominent example of CBDCs put into place is the Canadian trucker strikes during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns:

“So, look at what they did to the Canadian truckers. We don’t like what you’re doing. ‘We cut off your money and we cut off your friends’ money. And if people help you, we cut off their money too.’ So, I’ve known so many different people around the country who’ve been debanked.”

The World Ruled by Central Bankers

Another important topic that Fitts touched on is the influence of central banks on the global economy through CBDCs. In a previous article, she explained that these institutions are out to eliminate small businesses, especially food producers, so they can take control of the global population.

The puppet master finally shows itself — The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), based in Basel, Switzerland, calls itself the “central bank of central banks.” It sets global payment codes, drafts capital rules, and “innovation hubs” pushing this system to governments around the world. As noted by Fitts:

“It’s in Basel, Switzerland. And it has 63 of the most powerful central banks as its members. And the New York Fed and the Fed are both shareholders. They became shareholders in 1994.”

Sovereign immunity, zero transparency — Thanks to legal immunity, the BIS walk above the law. They can shift trillions between accounts that no court may audit. When money moves off the books, it’s the people who will lose:

“The general manager of the Bank of International Settlements was on an IMF (International Monetary Fund) panel. And in one minute, first time in my life I ever saw a central banker tell the truth, I fell off my chair. And he said, ‘you know, the beauty of this is we can set the rules on how your money works and we have the technology to enforce them.'”

Operate with impunity — Fitts expands the stranglehold of the BIS further, highlighting that it even has its own enforcement arm:

“It’s its own country. It has its own police force. And essentially, other than one of its staff being in a car accident or, you know, minor things, no one has the legal authority to move against it. Okay. And a sovereign immunity. That’s number one.

Number two, it can move money and hold it on its bank on its balance sheet and manage money secretly. So, if I want to, and I’m grossly oversimplifying, if I want to steal 21 trillion from the US government and park it on the balance sheet of the BIS, it can move it anywhere in the world and it can keep it on its balance sheet secretly.”

Money Is Being Used to Build Underground Bases

One of the biggest reasons why central banks were put up is to steal and move money around without the public knowing. According to Fitts, around $21 trillion was stolen between 1998 and 2015. Now, where is all the money going?

The government is creating underground bases — One aspect of the ongoing wealth transfer that the public isn’t aware of is the creation of underground bases spanning the country. Fitts estimates that there are 170, all with their own transportation network.

“[W]here’s all this money going? And one of the things I’ve looked at in the process of looking at where all this money is going is, is the underground base and city infrastructure and transportation system that’s been built. And I’m sorry, yes, so. So, we have built an extraordinary number of underground bases and supposedly transportation systems.”

The bases hide top-secret programs — One reason for the creation of the bases is for government experiments. Fitts says:

“You have so many activities going on that you need to keep secret, that you’re basically building the capacity to. For example, if you’re doing a secret space program, you need to platform it from, you know, things that can’t be seen.”

Preparation for catastrophe — Fitts mentioned that another purpose of the underground base network is preparing for possible extinction events.

It’s happening right under our noses — One of the most striking surprises about the creation of underground bases is that nobody knows about it. Carlson shares his own experience, saying:

“I knew a contractor who worked on one in Washington in the city of Washington D.C. and I remember him telling me about a power box, like a transformer box on Constitution Avenue that he told me, because he worked on it personally, was actually the exit, the egress from the White House that was kind of by vehicle.

… And I thought, well, that’s kind of crazy that in the middle of this big city where I live, I lived in I was on Constitution Avenue every day that you could build something like that without me knowing it.”

Health as Another Aspect of Control

Despite breakthroughs in medicine, rates of chronic disease continue to increase, putting millions of Americans under heavy financial stress.

Exploding budgets in health care — According to Fitts’ research, economist Mark Skidmore, Ph.D. found that restoring disability numbers to 2010 levels by helping citizens become healthier would save the economy $500 billion (half a trillion) each year from the annual $1.8 trillion budget of the U.S. HHS (Health and Human Services).

Poisoned population equals medical debt — Synthetic ingredients flood restaurants and grocery aisles, electromagnetic fields (EMFs) bathe bedrooms, and refined carbs crowd lunch boxes. The result? Skyrocketing rates of chronic disease:

“I call it the great Poisoning. We’ve poisoned ourselves, and it’s blowing the budget. And it’s not just blowing the budget of the federal government. If you look at family budgets, it’s blowing their budgets. You know, poisoned people are not productive, and their health care costs can be very expensive.”

The model needs to be changed before it’s too late — The ongoing centralization of currency and debt is straining the lives of people who can barely afford basic necessities. Therefore, Fitts espouses that the system needs to undergo an overhaul:

“[Y]ou know, if you look at the budget right now, expenses are skyrocketing, and it’s skyrocketing because the fundamental model of what we do and how we do helps to centralize, but it’s not economic. And so, you gotta change that.”

Building Personal Resilience — 6 Pillars of Wealth

Despite all the wealth transfer and money being laundered, Fitts believes that there is hope, but not without effort. For society to thrive, its people need to be good at building wealth — both health and financial. She espouses six pillars of building wealth to her subscribers in The Solari Report, four of which she discussed in the interview:

Free and inspired life — Craft a personal mission that no dashboard can override. Keep that mission posted on the fridge. Algorithms can’t rewrite it. “Everybody’s unique and in a decentralized world, everybody is unique. There’s no formula, so to speak,” Fitts says.

Navigation tools — Map the flow of food supply in your community. Who grows lettuce? Who sells raw honey? Note prices, hours, and cash policies. Use the same habit for money — withdraw small bills each payday, store some at home. When news anchors hype the benefits of cash going digital, don’t fall for their propaganda:

“So, we say in navigation tools there’s an official reality and then there’s reality and you need to know both. And reality is for the management of your time and money, and the official reality is for the cocktail party, and you need to not get those confused.

Don’t use the official reality to manage your time and money because then you’re going to get hurt. I mean, I clean so many people up from financial fraud and health care fraud because they believe the official reality. So, you can’t do that.”

Risk management — Figure out the risks in your life, such as ongoing debts, and work towards getting rid of them as quickly as possible. This slowly detaches you from the financial system:

“[I]n this kind of dangerous environment, everything’s about keeping your risk down. And that’s more important than making money. It’s more important to lower risk than make money. So, in a well-governed world, we’d all be focused on outside growth, but now we’ve got to be focused on preventing loss.”

Living equity — It’s important to build your connections to real people who share the same goal as you. Once your living is set in place, it morphs into the Turtle Fourth:

“That’s people, that’s family, that’s culture, that’s education, you know, all the things that go into that. And then financial equity, all the things, you know, and then the last one is, to me the most important. It’s called Turtle Fourth …

Turtle Fourth is about never quitting. You must never ever quit. And the whole goal of the people who are trying to centralize is to get you to think it’s hopeless. And John Rapoport used to always say ‘hopelessness is an op and it’s planet-wide.'”

Other Strategies to Help You Take Control of Your Financial Freedom

In a previous interview with Fitts, we discussed ways you can build your financial and health resilience. I’m resharing her key suggestions below, as I believe these are still relevant to the challenges we’re facing today:

Watch “How to Develop a Successful Relationship with a Great Bank” and start building a relationship with your chosen banker.2

Start building networks of trust with like-minded people.

Connect with your state legislators and urge them to implement a state bank or other independent state payment mechanisms to protect the financial sovereignty of your state.

If possible, get out of the inner cities and large urban areas where survival during an extended crisis will be slim. Relocate to an area where there’s off-grid access to food and water, and where people are savvy about physical security and protecting each other against crime.

If you’re a Solari Report subscriber, you can join Solari Connect to find like-minded individuals in your local area. Other ways to find your tribe could be to join other freedom-oriented organizations such as the Children’s Health Defense (CHD) and The Weston A. Price Foundation.

Build household resiliency by growing a portion of your own food and/or investing in things that will permanently lower your expenses and protect you against inflation.

Build new practical skillsets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the Central Banking System and Financial Freedom

Q: What are central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and why should I pay attention to them?

A: CBDCs are digital forms of currency issued by central banks. Catherine Austin Fitts argues they’re harmful to freedom because they convert traditional currencies into powerful tools of control. This allows central banks to surveil, influence, and enforce rules on individuals, creating a system where personal freedoms can be restricted.

Q: What role does the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) play in global finance?

A: The BIS, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, acts as a “central bank of central banks.” It has enormous influence over global financial policies and operates with sovereign immunity, zero transparency, and the ability to move vast sums secretly. According to Fitts, the BIS sets the rules of global finance without accountability or oversight, making it immensely powerful.

Q: Where did trillions of missing U.S. dollars go?

A: Fitts discovered that approximately $21 trillion was secretly diverted from the U.S. government between 1998 and 2015. She believes much of this money funded secret underground bases and transportation networks designed for undisclosed government projects, including preparations for catastrophic events.

Q: How is public health used as a means of control?

A: Americans are constantly burdened by health issues, making them take on debt. She describes this as “the Great Poisoning,” indicating that poor health makes populations easier to control economically and socially due to increased dependence on systems that keep you down.

Q: What practical steps can you take to protect your financial freedom?

A: Fitts recommends building resilience through her “Six Pillars of Wealth and Well-Being,” all of which is outlined in The Solari Report. She gives a brief summary of her suggestions here:

Craft a personal mission statement that guides personal life independently of digital influence.

Develop navigation tools like knowing local sources of food and using cash.

Slowly work towards minimizing any financial risks you have.

Build living equity by cultivating strong personal networks and a strong sense of community.
