Oct 10 - Trump's Diesel Deal Proves Wars are Charades

Catherine Austin Fitts’ message in the video (a ~10-minute clip titled “This Is The FINAL GAME…” from The Global Report, drawn from her interview on The Way Forward with Alec Zeck) is that current economic and geopolitical pressures are not a genuine crisis but a deliberate consolidation of power–what she calls “COVID 2.0.”

• Trade and energy control as strategy. Authorities are sabotaging or bottlenecking trade routes (not only the Strait of Hormuz) to control who receives energy and at what price. Rising diesel prices give the U.S. leverage by exporting it while others scramble. This continues a long-term approach (tracing back to the Cheney era) of moving from an open trade model run by the “dollar syndicate” to a closed, controlled one.⁠YouTube

• “COVID 2.0″ consolidation. Just as lockdowns transferred market share and printed trillions to large corporations while small businesses and farms suffered, tariffs, energy sabotage, and trade restrictions are now shrinking independent operators and funneling fiscal/monetary stimulus (and tax policy advantages) to big corporations. Corporate profits have soared; defense budgets are ballooning (from ~$860 billion toward $1.5 trillion), creating massive “grift.” The system is working for those centralizing power.⁠YouTube

• Elites’ vision. Those in charge no longer need the American consumer. They aim for a growing equity/corporate infrastructure with a shrinking population, managed via AI, automation, and robots. They expect long lives for themselves through technology and reject open meritocracy because it would threaten their control. This is framed as the mindset of hyper-materialist, mind-controlled actors who view average people as manageable or expendable.⁠YouTube

• Public complicity and responsibility. “Crime that pays is crime that stays.” As long as people receive checks or benefits, many support the system. Even protesters (e.g., against data centers) often finance those systems through IRAs and 401(k)s. There is little constituency for financial responsibility. Fitts references the missing money (around $21 trillion from DoD/HUD) plus bailouts (~$29 trillion) as a roughly $50 trillion fraud and asks why people continue banking with the institutions involved.⁠YouTube

• Optimistic counterpoint. The universe is intelligent and alive; one person can have an enormous impact (“What we do echoes in eternity”). She urges practical steps such as banking with strong community banks and credit unions rather than the large players, taking personal responsibility, and recognizing that people have the power to stop financing what they claim to oppose.

Overall, Fitts portrays the “final game” as an accelerating shift toward centralized corporate/elite control through energy, trade, fiscal policy, and technology, enabled by public acquiescence–while insisting decentralized, local, and individual actions remain powerful. The clip is selective commentary on her broader work on the “control grid,” financial coup dynamics, and missing money; her claims are her own analysis and are contested.
