I got to meet Catherine Austin Fitts at an even held at a local church here in Lakeland, Florida the night before this interview took place.

I would like stress before you watch it that Catherine has a rather novel take on Donald Trump and what his administration is actually doing - and what she thinks they plan to do in the future - with CBDC’s.

We do disagree with each other several times, and explore various scenarios and issues from different perspectives.

I don’t believe in echo chamber journalism where you only bring in people to talk to only AFTER you’re assured yourself they’re not going to disagree with anything you say, and you are agreement about everything.

We covered a lot of ground in that one hour, so I hope you all enjoy it.

My Sponsors:

Rise of the New Media is a READER-SUPPORTED PUBLICATION.

That means every paying subscriber to this Substack newsletter is one of my sponsors. I am profoundly grateful to each of them because their regular monthly support allows me to write columns and research for a living.

Unlike Fake News propagandists, I am an honest, independent journalist without a sugar daddy billionaire handing me money behind the scenes. Ordinary citizens and patriots support me, and it is awesome.

Patriot Switch:

I am helping American patriots MAKE THE SWITCH from buying needed groceries from the 11 Big Corporations out there that are pushing a ‘woke’ agenda on the country. At the same time, they are genetically modifying our food & selling us items that are toxic and are poisoning us. Learn about MAKING THE SWITCH yourself right here: patriotswitch.com/briancates

The Rise of the New Media Substack is also sponsored by One Source Solutions, a great payment processor site run by and for patriot businesses. Are you tired of cancel culture and worried about getting deplatformed by PayPal or some other Silicon Valley website? Here’s your answer. Be sure to tell them Brian Cates sent you because I get residuals for referrals. :)
