Catherine Austin Fitts said that real estate is being reshuffled – the purpose of unseating Maduro in Venezuela is to keep China out of the West. She advised watching the bond market and said that the US printed more and more paper than there are real assets. There is a rush to grab real assets.

The new trade model is closed, not global.

BRICS has been building infrastructure for years, while the US has ignored infrastructure and supply chains. The US is a country of lawyers while China is a country of engineers.

She said that Trump does not have agency, the US is not sovereign. Trump has a federal budget deficit of $2 trillion and he needs bankers to sell bonds to get that $2 trillion. She quoted James Carville who said, “When I die, I want to come back as the bond market because you can terrorize anybody.”

She said that the Middle East is intended to be wealthy and a middle ground where the east and west can engage in trade. Israel is intent on destroying Iran and its currency.

Fitts described how Israel and the US killed 11 top leaders in Iran in their homes, sending the message that they can target and kill anybody one by one and that they will kill their families, too. The new warfare is killing the entire command structure without invading and and and putting boots on the ground in the country.

Wars weapons include blowing up facilities and infrastructure and weather warfare.

The war is violent, but it it goes on covertly and it also depends much more on targeting of the individuals, sanctions in the individual, sanctions on companies – using everything from poisoning to assassination.

The Trump administration is building the control grid against Americans domestically. There are 3 goals . . .
