Our ENTIRE National Debt of $38 trillion truly IS due to elites stealing our taxpayer dollars?! 

Catherine Austin Fitts, former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, reveals how the US government stole $50 TRILLION taxpayer dollars and used Jeffrey Epstein to launder it.

Treasury Secretary Bob Rubin arranged Jeffrey Epstein's first visit to the Clinton White House in 1993, precisely as massive funds began disappearing from federal agencies, alleging Epstein ran the SWIFT system to launder the stolen TRILLIONS!

TRILLIONS vanished through undocumented adjustments at DoD and HUD starting in the mid-90s, escalating to $21 trillion by 2017 (matching the entire U.S. national debt then), plus $29 trillion in bailouts, totaling $50 trillion extracted while taxpayers are forced to hold the central banking debt trap in the form of our National Debt!

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~~

Catherine Austin Fitts: It's important to understand that we're not talking, I mean on one hand we're talking about a financial coup.

So let me show you our....I just made a new chart on what I call the financial coup (0:26) because I want to put a little history to this thing.

Catherine Austin Fitts: We went through this the other night. You know, what happened in the mid 90's... we had, at the end of all the fraud during the 80's...

Man: Right

Catherine Austin Fitts: We had a big reform effort and one of the, part of the reform, and I know because I wrote it, was basically a series of reforms we inistituted at HUD, and then helped OMB take them take them government wide.

But it required the covert agencies, the top 24 agencies, to produce audited financial statements.

So a process began where the government started to confess that they couldn't produce audited finiancial statements, but they would explain what their undocumented adjustements were. 

Which were transactions that weren't documented, that weren't, you know that made it impossible for them to produce financial statemetns.

The people who ran the financial system tried to come up with a plan to balance the budget, including the retirement, you know, social security and retirement.

And that led to a big bust up in 1995 when the budget deal cratered.

And this event or this period was described to me by one of the largest pension fund guys in the country.

He said, 'They've given up on the country. They're moving all the money out starting this fall.'

He told me this in April '96. 

And that's when enormous amounts of money started to disappear from the federal government. 

So you're increasing the debt, and then money is disappearing out the back door.

So think of the Treasury as a laundry device, that's sucking money.

You know, the Treasury gives bonds to the Pension Funds, gets money, the money disappears out the back door.

Now the tax payer is liable for the pension funds.

Just a laundry device. Okay?

Anyway, so if you look at this chart, what you'll see is, by 9/11 there was trillions of dollars missing from HUD and DOD.

DOD is the big one.

In fact, Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, stood up and said, 'The DOD is missing $2.3 trillion; it's worse than terrorism. A greater national security threat than terrorism.'

Of course we know what happened with 9/11. The Patriot Act passes.

But money keeps going missing until finally in 2015, $6.5 trillion was missing.

And Dr. Mark Skidmore, budget expert/professor at MSU heard me talking about it and said, 'Oh she has to be wrong. That's impossible. The Army can't be missing many multiples of its budget in one year.'

Well actually if you look at how the federal credit is managed, it can be.

And, so he called me. He went to the financial statements and discovered I was right.

And he called me and, as a result, he did a complete survey that was finished in 2017.

And he and his students, I had the number up to $12 trillion missing, he found another $9 trillion.

And so $21 trillion as of 2017. Guess what the outstanding debit of the United States was when he published his report? $21 trillion. 

So, imagine, you know, if you think its a scam we use debut to issue the currency when we could just issue the currency without debt,

It's a really a scam when the money you raise with the debt disappears out the back door. (3:55)

Man: Yeah, I mean, as the other gentleman mentioned, it would be impossible to do this hidden unless they had high cover. I mean how can you steal $21 trillion dollars?

Catherine Austin Fitts: It's a no brainer. All you have to do is issue $21 trillion in treasuries, and you finance it.

And then you steal it.

Man:  So somebody, somebody somewhere made a physical decision. Who's that person? You know, who's that committee?

Woman:  There should be a transfer record.

Man: Right.

Catherine Austin Fitts: Oh yeah.

So, if you go back to this chart, in 1993 Jeffrey Epstein made his first visit to the White House, arranged by Bob Rubin, who was the Secretary of the Treasury when the money started to go missing.

Man: Mmmmm

Catherine Austin Fitts: Okay? And, at the time he was national economic advisor, I believe Jeffrey Epstein ran the Swiss system on the missing money.

It's my guess what he was up to, you know, the sex stuff was just part of creating related control files that they used.

Man: Right.

Catherine Austin Fitts: But in 1995, 1994, the New York Fed and the fed, which had been members of the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) from the beginning, had taken the position that being a shareholder was conflict of interest.

And they reversed that position in 1994. They bought shares in the BIS.

And, you know, my guess, this is a guess, I think, you know, the BIS has sovereign immunity and can move money and hold it on it's balance sheet, behind.. in secrecy behind sovereign immunity.

And I think the perfect way to launder this money would have be through fed to the BIS, is my guess.

But there are thousands, if you look at the ways that they could have laundered this money out, you know, it's like the 'Joy of Cooking,' there are hundreds of recipes.

Because with $21 trillion, you'd need many different ways. For example is, my guess is Enron was one of the laundry mats.

But I think also, you know, if you look at the money going, money disappearing, then suddenly you have all these sovereign nations around the world who are making huge donations to the Clinton Foundation.

And my question is, did that money just get pulled out of HUD, move through the BIS over to Norway, and they just give it back?

Man: Fly it right back.

Catherine Austin Fitts: With a fee?

Man: It would be easy.

Catherine Austin Fitts: Okay. So, anyway, whatever.

We hit the great financial crisis and then we have $29 trillion in bailouts.

So we had $21 trillion of missing money from the US government. And now we have $29 trillion in bailouts.

That's $50 trillion. 

Okay, so we're talking about putting the United States in a debt trap. And somebody walks off with $50 trillion dollars. 

Okay. Now, there are many... You know, we could have a long conversation about where that money might have gone.

But one of the things to understand is coming into 2019 and the pandemic, because you haven't....

Instead of putting the retirement systems on a stable foot, you've decided instead you're going to give up on the country and you're going to take the money and run.

It's like a bank robbery. 

But now the retirement systems are coming due. What are you going to do?

And it's pretty clear what happened next. 

The first thing they did was they got rid of Epstein.

That's... the second thing was  review the going direct reset, and they started into a reset, a central banking reset.

And that reset dramatically lowered life expectancy, which had been dropping ever since 1997 when the financial coup started. 

But this is all part of....you put the government in a debt trap. You've moved all the money out someplace else.

And, and those assets and that money is someplace else.

So now the government doesn't have the assets. It's got, you know, but it owes the debt.

You now have it in a debt trap.

And now essentially what you do is you turn around to the population, say there's no money. 

But you weaken the population dramatically and you start depopulating.

Every time I think I've heard the worst, there's more.

Just my opinion here in post #1.

I believe Biden's autopen government entered lockdowns with zero intention of ever letting us leave our homes again. They were stalling while implementing electronic tracking systems.

They never intended to have to answer to the public for $50 trillion in funds they stole.

President Trump had to free us from lockdowns to stop them.

The President couldn't speak to the public freely because the Covid response was, by design, then a military operation per an emergency pandemic system set up by Obama. They hinted President Trump was detached from reality and were ready to remove him from office (25th Amend.) as a national security threat if he refuted the Covid 'narrative.'

President Trump deceived the Deep State into believing he was helping them with Operation Warp Speed. He specified that the money would belong to pharma if they made a vaccine that 'works'.

That was the only path to get us out of their lockdown trap.

The globalists running the pandemic took the money, and tried to reneg on the deal by saying we were all still at risk because of 'breakthrough.'

But Trump had specified that they money was only to be paid if the vaccine works

We were almost the generation of citizens across the globe whom the globalists succeeded in culling and imprisoning.

No wonder so many heads of (corrupt) states want him dead.

Instead, we were set free and their governments are falling and impoverished. Tariffs are not the worst 'pain' they deserve.

Prayers up for President Trump and all patriots who helped him free us. May God bless and protect them from all harm.

Have to be a total idiot to not believe at least half of the (so-called) $39T debt...was not scammed in one way or another.

By-product of Ponzi economics.

Stolen trillions were used to fund our DemoKKKrap dic-tater-ship, run by taters like Benedict Obama and “China Joe” Bribe ‘Em.

Just my opinion...

Any theory that relies on a disease so virulant that we'll be locked up in our homes forever is a non-starter.

In the mid-1990s, following financial reforms (including requirements for audited financial statements across major agencies), the government began reporting large "undocumented adjustments" (transactions lacking proper documentation), making clean audits impossible.

Conspiracy theory or not, "undocumented adjustments" to financial statements are a license to steal.

Jeffrey Epstein's operation was once a "conspiracy theory."

Dollars to doughnuts you would have called it that, back in the day.

One would think with 50,000 BILLIONS gone missing, somebody would notice some people living large and it would be rather obvious. It’s like bank robbers trying to explain their sudden riches. Or art thieves who cannot fence priceless works of art.

It never relied on a disease so virulent that we'd be locked up forever.

The Plandemic relied on years of international planning meetings to control messaging to make the seasonal flu seem like a population ender (e.g., their psyop), patents in place for electronic tracking, and it expected to make the 'vaccine', and 7 booster shots, mandatory.

Recall the warnings of millions dead? Recall those public figures who were warning that the unvaccinated were the pandemic and should not receive hospital treatment etc.

Last year, a Japanese official said the population was having it's 8th booster. Japan didn't escape.

Epstein flew the ruling elite all over the world in a large passenger jet. He purchased at least 2 islands and built Fantasy Island Resorts.

I would ask those who think the premise of this article is hokey to ponder this question.

Where did he get that money ? Fueling and maintaining a commercial sized airliner with only a handful of passengers at one time is VERY VERY VERY expensive. Transporting the materials to build the facilities on his islands was also VERY VERY VERY expensive. Even if we accept he was a ‘spy’ for the Israeli government, the pay could not come anywhere near what he was spending. If he was borrowing the money, there is no record of it.

We were given a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel, but they lurk in the shadows between here and there and will fight to the death (even if it’s their death) to keep us from the light.

You are like a candle. One candle can light up a room full of darkness. Shine on, my brother.
