“Conspiracy theory” is usually an attempt by the “gut-feeling” crowd to validate their fantasies.
The larger the conspiracy, the less likely it is to exist.
Humans aren’t smart enough to orchestrate large-scale activity without screwing something up or having someone talk.
And if there is no evidence to support their claims, that means the conspiracy is working. LOL
Catherine Austin Fitts worked for the dept of Housing and Urban Dev. under Jack Kemp and Reagan. She has a strong background in finance and is one of the best independent researchers out there.
She also says that Kemp was blackmailed by the deep state. She is not a ‘kook’.
She talks a lot but says very little.
You are correct. China and other Pacific rim countries are precisely the ones who purchase (invest in) our T-bills on the open market. Keepinhg the kabuki theatre going. These "investors" own our debt. They own us. It's going to take a major world war--or worse--to eliminate the U.S. debt. In the past, wars have been used for just this purpose.
Much of what is termed “conspiracy theory” has years ago already been admitted to by CIA, FBI, etc. I’m thinking specifically of their projects dating from the 1950’s, if you feel so inclined to online search.
We’ve always known that the power elites run the world, that’s a no-brainer. From there, their methods and delivery systems may be up for debate. At times, they make their plans easy to observe, from their own statements.
You can choose to perceive it any way you wish. It won’t change my (and others’ views).
My impression, too. What she does say borders on gobbledy-gook.
“you want your taxes to only go into things that have financial and national sovereignty”
Oooookay...
People on the internet seldom change each other’s minds.
That’s a given.
The first problem I have is the notion of global elites running the world in secret. If one rejects the likelihood of that, most other conspiracies evaporate. And, if you read my last post, you know that I don’t believe anyone is smart enough to conduct a global conspiracy for years. It’s like the Soviets trying to manage an economy. You can’t plan for everything, and events seldom unfold as you expect.
Yes, I read it. We shall agree to disagree, agreeably.
>>Federal Reserve Notes are not money, they are currency and there is a big difference between the two. Money has intrinsic value, currency does not and since it has no intrinsic value it can be created out of thin air - so the govt could easily pay off everything it owes tomorrow if it wanted to.

Thank you for your explanation. Makes sense to me.
Blackmailed into giving California to communists via illegal invasion?
She actually says a lot, but I didn’t read this. I encourage you to listen to her interviews on youtube. She has many ideas. One is to reduce regulations that make it impossible for small farms to exist. She did a study with some university PhD candidates to estimate the number of jobs and increase in GDP if we had a small farm for every other small city in the US to supply just dairy. They added a couple million jobs and increased the GDP by a significant amount (don’t remember the exact figure). She has many more ideas to get us back on track. She is full of ideas and is actually one of the few people proposing revolutionary changes. Again, she is highly respected. She is a great American, but out of the mainstream in the sense you will never hear her ideas on TV.
The return of manufacturing is the key.
Yes, I agree. The dollar needs to get a lot weaker in relation to other currencies for that to happen though.
A tariff is what is needed. Trump ran on that.
It must be nice to live in your world.
Try it. You’ll like it.
