December 18th Greg Hunter did his latest interview with Catherine Austin Fitts, a frequent guest on his show. Always good to check in with Fitts I find.
And here she is, once again, stating
the disaster that will follow if Trump declares Marshal Law:
Excerpt, starting around 23:00:
Catherine Austin Fitts: So, the push for Marshal Law is not coming from Trump supporters -- they may be repeating it -- [it's] coming from somewhere in the Deep State, probably the intelligence agencies. Because the only way they can confiscate the guns is if they get Marshal Law going. And the way to get it going is to get Trump and his supporters to do it. Then you can blame them. The minute you can temporarily suspend the constitution, the Deep State will grab the guns, they will grab a whole bunch of property, they'll put a whole bunch of people in prison. They will drive a Panza division through that window.
Greg Hunter: Don't do it. You're saying don't do it.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Only do it if you want to commit suicide, and you want to take 325 million people with you.
Greg Hunter: If you were going to advise the president, you'd say, Mr. President, do what you're gonna' do but do it in the confines of the constitution.
Catherine Austin Fitts: Yes.

I recommend listening to the whole interview, actually. You get a better idea as to why she keeps urging people to go local. She states instead of a government, we have a money pit, a spending operation, but no real government. Washington, not even Trump, is going to de-centralize the economy. Only U.S. citizens can do this, county by county. (I wonder if/how she herself is doing this, since it seems a tall order, especially since most of us lack her expertise.) Her take on Bitcoin is interesting too, including the fact that precious metals would have seen a greater increase if it weren't for Bitcoin and, I assume, other cryptocurrencies. But given these virtual currencies lack fluidity -- you do not carry it and spend it the way you do other currencies -- it signals "the end of currencies" (which she writes about in one of her latest Solari Reports). So, the lack of fluidy with cryptocurrencies is really their point, and the reason to mistrust them.
