The El Salvador president highlights hidden messages in the US financial system. High taxes aren't the issue; they don't fund the government. Instead, the government relies on printing money through treasury bonds, creating an illusion that taxes support it. This unsustainable system could lead to a collapse if not addressed by the next US president. Changes are needed to prevent a crisis like those in the past. Time is running out to avoid repeating history.

America is trying to change the rules in the gold and cryptocurrency markets. They note a 35 trillion dollar debt and describe it as part of the world’s two alternative currency market segments. Washington’s actions in this direction clearly demonstrate one of the main American objectives: they want to solve the problem of declining trust in the U.S. dollar, as it was in the 1930s and the 1970s, by solving their financial problems at the expense of the world and driving everyone into the crypto cloud. Over time, when part of the U.S. national debt is placed in stablecoins, the United States will devalue that debt. In simple terms: they have a 35-trillion-dollar debt, they are pushing it into crypto, into the cloud, they are devaluing it, and they are starting from scratch. This is for those who are enthusiastic about crypto.

Speaker 0 argues that there is a shift toward bankers increasingly controlling both monetary and fiscal policy, describing it as a "financial coup d'etat." They claim that for centuries there has been a balance of power between the people's representatives who control fiscal policy (taxation) and bankers who control monetary policy. According to Speaker 0, bankers have decided to use digital technology to assert control over both sides of government policy, leveraging CBDCs (central bank digital currencies), stablecoins, and asset tokens as programmable money. They assert that this move is underway and cite Davos as evidence, noting that Larry Fink, the acting co-chair of the World Economic Forum, is aggressively promoting the idea of moving the entire financial system into a digital control grid. The speaker contends that the descriptions of the bankers’ intentions are becoming very open and explicit, and that the result would be the abolition or collapse of the republic in favor of a system where bankers control both monetary and fiscal policy. The speaker questions whether legislative representatives would remain in any executive or ceremonial role, describing the future as fluid and capable of many directions. They emphasize that the transition has been very incremental for decades, facilitated by the federal government not running its financial statements and operations in accordance with the law and not disclosing them properly. This, they claim, has allowed the shift to occur with the public largely unaware or complacent. Speaker 0 notes that many Americans have accepted the current system because they benefit from it in the short term—“as long as I get my check, I’m okay with the system as it is.” They frame this acceptance as part of the reason the changes have progressed with limited public pushback. In sum, the speaker contends that the bankers are moving to extend control from monetary policy into fiscal policy through digital technologies and programmable money, a process they describe as a quiet, long-running coup that could redefine the balance of power in government.

The speaker asserts that financial systems face unprecedented risks due to economic chaos from President Trump and Elon Musk. Another speaker states that Trump ran on curbing wasteful spending, citing the $36 trillion national debt as fiscally and morally irresponsible. They claim Trump is the final decision-maker, contrasting this with the previous administration where key decisions were allegedly made by others, possibly during the president's "afternoon nap time." The speaker suggests labeling figures like Jake Sullivan, Ron Klain, and Jill Biden as "co-presidents" during that time and calls for honesty regarding past and present events.

Together because they are completely interlinked. Epstein is linked with Howard Lutnick, our commerce secretary whose firm manages the treasuries that back tether, the largest stable coin. And Brock Pierce, who was Epstein's crypto adviser, who was a cofounder of Tether and was the head of the Bitcoin Foundation before it collapsed, and then MIT took over the developers is right in the middle of this. So in essence, the endgame of this is what they have figured out as a way to have a backdoor CBDC where they specifically profit. I'm starting to call this now the creature from Epstein's Island because in the end, what are we getting out of this? We have something called USAT, which is the new official stable coin that complies with the genius act. So we have a situation where it's a digital token backed by fiat, backed by treasuries that can be programmed, tracked, and censored. And the biggest financial beneficiary is Howard Lutnick's firm. They managed to create so think about it this way. He's managed to create a central bank digital currency where only one firm profits from all of the fees for managing the treasuries. This is the biggest financial heist probably in human history. And it is connected directly to Epstein and Brock Pierce and the hijacking of Bitcoin. That's how they're linked. Now, do I think were they playing five d chess and this is what they thought was gonna happen? I don't know. May be if so, it's very clever or were they opportunistic about it? But make no mistake about it. These government regulated stablecoins are backdoor CBDCs in not in the sense that they're issued by the central bank, but in the sense that they are controlled and surveilled by the government and tracked by the government, which after all is the thing that people are worried about with CBDCs. The concern isn't really so much about the central bank. Of course, the central bank is complete unnecessary third party, but financial surveillance comes from Congress. All of the bank secrecy laws, all of the tracking and the suspicious activity reports, this is Congress. This is not the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve does not initiate any of that. So this is in many respects worse than the creature from Jackal Island. This is worse than the creation of the Federal Reserve itself because what it's done is created a digital dollar where one political member of a cabinet, his family and his company is the biggest single beneficiary. One of the things that came out of the Epstein file is Lutnick's claim that he was disgusted by Epstein and had nothing to do with him after 2006. The emails show Lutnick emailing Epstein coordinating to visit Epstein on Epstein's Island with his yacht and with his family. There's another email showing Lutnick contributing $50,000 to an event that Epstein was running. Lutnick flat out lied, and I will have to check whether that was under oath about his relationship and association with Epstein. He was a next door neighbor of Epstein and bought his house from Epstein. The connections here are overwhelming. It's so much data to map that I'm using AI to start making initial connections, then humans correct. How do these pieces fit from a timetable perspective? This is game changing. Epstein's hijacking of Bitcoin has not been widely acknowledged, and some Bitcoin Maxis resist this information. I urge people to do their own research, not to rely on spin. Look into Epstein's emails via Jmail and other sources. The information is out there, including the Epstein files, and the article I wrote for Brownstone at brownstone.org with screenshots of emails. Do your research. Don't accept a single influencer's take. Epstein literally funded changing the Bitcoin protocol to make it digital gold, yet there is no indication he actually held Bitcoin. This warrants investigation. Roger Ver, once a prominent Bitcoin advocate, has described hijacking in his own book, and his later treatment suggests suppression. The broader point is that there are deeply interwoven connections among Epstein, Lutnick, Pierce, Tether, and the Bitcoin ecosystem, with implications for who profits and how governance and surveillance could unfold.

Speaker says Charlie Kirk's death is being used to attack freedom of speech, change in the US economy is coming. The US government faces a criminally irresponsible debt crisis; the world is losing faith in the dollar and disgusted with the crimes against humanity that the USD money printing machines are funding daily. Cutting spending didn't work; the Genius Act would require stablecoin companies to be backed by US debt to create increased demand for US debt and funnel money into US Government debt. Anton Kobyakov says the US is planning a worldwide crypto rug pull to erase its debt by creating a US debt-based stablecoin system, then devalue it, robbing the people of their money. The world is moving away from fiat money, dividing into zones; BRICS may not buy US debt; regulations push stablecoins offshore. Vietnam implements digital ID with biometric data; 86,000,000 bank accounts erased or frozen.

The US national debt has surpassed $33 trillion, with about a third of that added in the last five years. The speaker questions who the nation owes this debt to and highlights the power of bankers, particularly in the Federal Reserve System, who create trillions of dollars without producing anything of value. They quote Thomas Jefferson's warning about the dangers of private banks controlling the money supply. The speaker also points out that money, whether it's a $1 bill or a $20 bill, is just paper with no inherent value. Another speaker mentions the potential value of Bitcoin as the US dollar loses value, suggesting that micro Bitcoins or satoshis could become a common form of untraceable transactions.

Speaker 0: I had a guy who worked, very, very, very high up at Citibank. And he told me around 2008, he said, Glenn, you know, don't worry about the financial system. And I'm like, uh-huh. And he said, you know, we're never gonna go broke. I mean, do you know how much just the national parks are worth? And I looked at him and said, are you seriously telling me that we should commoditize the national parks? And he said, it's gonna happen. And I wonder now if this is what he was talking about. If it was just a digital not actually selling them, it's just a digital commoditization of our parks. Speaker 1: Yeah. So apply this now to the the phrase that we all heard during the COVID era, you'll own nothing and be happy. Well Yes. There's certain people that want to own everything, and that includes things that have never been able to be owned before that were considered things like the public commons, like rivers, lakes, the ocean itself, natural forests, all sorts of it. These people want to put all of that into the financial system, fractionalize it, tokenize it, and sell pieces of it around, use it to speculate on. Mean, it's It's very insane. Yeah. And so, this is just one aspect of digital currency play. Obviously, there's a lot more than that just going on as well. I would argue that a lot of this push, particularly in The US for dollar stablecoins supposedly being better than a central bank digital currency, also falls into this paradigm we talked about earlier of, you know, moving from the public to the private of the public private partnership because a lot of these stablecoin issuers, you know, if the the big concerns about CBDCs was that they're seasable, they're surveillable and they're programmable, Well, all of those three things also can apply to stablecoins. The only difference is that you would have a private company issue it and control it. But we've seen time and again how a lot of these private entities are willing to do that. When contacted, just look at how Bank of America behaved with January 6, people accused of wrongdoing on that day, for You know, they have no qualms in doing that and engaging in those type of activities. And the biggest dollar stablecoin issuer, Tether, which just hired Bo Hynes from the White House, they have openly said that they are a close partner of the US government for dollar hegemony globally and have uploaded the FBI, the Secret Service and other aspects of the US government onto its platform directly and have seized tethers from people just because government told them to, and this was during the Biden administration. So they obviously are willing to do that under any administration, and it's essentially functioning as a de facto public private partnership, even though we're being told it's a it's much better than a CBDC, but in terms of its impacts on civil liberties, you know, that's not necessarily true. So, again, vigilance is is important here.

The speaker asserts that a primary reason for impending war is the desire to implement a worldwide digital currency and escape the failing current system. They claim the existing system is unsustainable due to perpetual deficits and a Ponzi scheme-like structure. Historically, such schemes collapse when new debt can no longer be sold to cover old debt. The speaker suggests that the departure of debt buyers necessitates finding new ones to prevent collapse. They caution against enthusiasm for cryptocurrency, viewing it as a ploy to attract new investors to buy debt. If new debt cannot be sold, the speaker believes the entire system will collapse.

The speaker argues that the United States is actively trying to change rules in the gold and cryptocurrency markets. They note that the U.S. national debt is 35 trillion dollars. The assertion is that these two segments—gold and cryptocurrencies—are the two alternative parts of the world’s currency markets. Washington’s actions in this direction are said to clearly illustrate one of America’s main objectives: to solve the problem of declining trust in the U.S. dollar, as was the case in the 1930s and the 1970s, by handling its financial problems at the expense of the world and driving everyone into a cryptocurrency “cloud.” The idea is that, over time, a portion of the U.S. national debt will be issued in stablecoins, thereby devaluing that debt. In simple words, the speaker reiterates that the United States currently has a 35-trillion-dollar debt, and they are pushing it into crypto, into the cloud, devaluating it, and starting from zero. This is presented for those who are very interested in crypto.

Bitcoin vs. The Fed: Former Congressman Thinks Bitcoin Is the Answer
Guests: Jeb Hensarling
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Bitcoin is framed as a shield against currency debasement as central banks print money, a concern the guest links to a 2008 crisis and the era of QE. He notes that the bailout debates pitted his side of Congress against Wall Street, and he helped lead a conservative alternative—more like an insurance mechanism than a bailout. Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin emerges as a parallel solution to the same problem, though created independently. He recalls warning that letting the genie out of the bottle invites government overreach and a brittle financial system. Bitcoin, he argues, protects nest eggs and grants cross-border wealth mobility. He outlines crypto regulation as an ongoing, multi-act process rather than a single bill. The Genius Act creates a foundational framework and a regulatory sandbox for tokenized assets, paving the way for innovation while preserving guard rails. Clarity Act debates are forthcoming, and the industry should stay engaged with lead lawmakers who shape policy, rather than waiting for public hearings to reveal all. He stresses that many hearings are theater, and durable policy requires bipartisan law. The conversation also flags macro concerns: central banks monetizing debt, inflation, and the risk of reduced accountability when the state finances spending through the central bank. On the practical finance side, the talk covers stablecoins and the dollar’s reserve role, arguing that government acknowledgment could accelerate mainstream Bitcoin adoption and liquidity while preserving privacy. Democraticizing retirement savings—like expanding 401(k) options to include Bitcoin—is discussed as a potential long-term shift. The guest cautions about central bank digital currencies and government control, but remains hopeful that regulatory clarity will attract talent back to the U.S. and revitalize DeFi and digitized assets. He closes with a broad, optimistic vision of creative destruction, where private capital and innovative policy enable a more inclusive, higher-growth financial system.

Catherine Fitts: Epstein, CIA Black Budget, the Control Grid, and the Banks’ Role in War
Guests: Catherine Fitts
reSee.it Podcast Summary
The episode centers on a broad, provocative critique of modern monetary and surveillance systems, anchored by Catherine AustinFitts’s description of a developing “control grid.” The core idea is that programmable money—money with embedded rules enforced by digital IDs, surveillance networks, and centralized data infrastructure—could enable real-time control of financial transactions, movement, and even access to goods and services. The discussion details three pillars of this grid: programmable money, digital IDs, and the local hardware and data centers that enable surveillance. The conversation traces how cameras, cell towers, satellites, and AI data centers could work in concert to produce a panopticon-like system designed to track and regulate individuals, ultimately extending to autonomous weapons and a social credit-style framework. The guests emphasize how nudging, regulation, and the shift toward private stablecoins and asset tokens could replicate central-bank-like control without a formal CBDC, potentially undermining local banks and Main Street economies. They warn that the global spread of digital money could consolidate power in a small elite and erode democratic accountability, arguing that the transition might be manipulated through events or perceived crises to justify broader control. Throughout, the speakers contrast such a future with calls for cash, local economic circulation, and a culture-driven enforcement of norms, asserting that true resilience comes from faith, community economies, and mindful personal choices in spending and investment. The discussion also weaves in historical and geopolitical strands, arguing that central banks, international finance, and networks like Epstein’s allegedly connect to a broader system seeking to normalize programmable money. The tone remains urgent but also invites reflection on personal agency, suggesting readers consider how to preserve civil liberties, resist centralized control, and seek alternatives that empower local economies and transparent governance. The episode ends with a call to action to explore culture, art, and spiritual risk management as antidotes to the materialist power structures described, urging listeners to rethink money, technology, and sovereignty in light of a rapidly changing world.

In a recent conversation, Anthony Pompliano and Paulina Pompiano discussed significant developments in Bitcoin and the financial sector. Bitcoin's price reached $105,000, coinciding with JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon's announcement that clients can now purchase Bitcoin, despite his previous skepticism. Dimon framed this change as a way to serve clients while maintaining his personal reservations about Bitcoin's risks, such as money laundering and terrorism. The discussion highlighted the evolving attitudes of major banks towards Bitcoin and crypto, with firms like BlackRock and Fidelity entering the ETF space. They also addressed the Senate's advancement of the Genius Act, aimed at creating a regulatory framework for stable coins. Senator Bill Hagerty suggested that stable coin issuers could become the largest holders of U.S. treasuries. The hosts emphasized the importance of stable coins in facilitating international transactions and the potential for traditional finance and crypto to merge. They concluded that the landscape is changing, with banks needing to adapt to the growing acceptance of digital assets, while cautioning against the risks of holding bonds in the current economic climate.

Gold vs Bitcoin: The Ultimate 2025 Debasement Trade
Guests: Peter Schiff
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Gold is at record highs as the conversation centers on whether gold and Bitcoin frame a 2025 debasement trade. Schiff argues dollar debasement is accelerating as foreign central banks move away from dollars and toward gold, prompted by sanctions, and by what he calls reckless spending and tariff policies. He says the only monetary asset these banks can rely on is gold, and that the dollar's reserve status is being questioned. Wall Street banks are waking up to the reality, recommending gold exposure to clients. Schiff predicts gold above 4,000 with a path to 5,000 by year-end, and silver surpassing 50. Turning to China, Schiff argues Beijing is diversifying away from the dollar, betting reserves in gold as a strategic move. He envisions China replacing or backing its currency with gold, possibly linking the Hong Kong dollar to a gold standard or to a gold-backed RMB. He notes China is the world's largest gold producer and largely keeps its output to itself. The discussion then shifts to the broader debasement narrative, with the M2 money supply growing far faster than CPI, as inflation is framed as currency debasement through monetary and credit expansion. Shaping the political backdrop, they critique Trump's economic policy as similar to Biden's, with deficits, tariffs, and regulatory burdens. In a closing thought, Schiff presents a hypothetical plan for balance-sheet discipline: veto any unsustainable budget, push for broad spending cuts, and pursue debt restructuring rather than inflation; reduce unnecessary regulations to lower drug costs. The interview ends with a note to hedge crypto positions with physical gold and silver through Shift Gold, and a reminder that even if you own Bitcoin, a portion should be hedged in traditional assets.

In a discussion on cryptocurrency, Charles Gasparino expresses neutrality, stating he covers the topic like baseball without bias. He acknowledges Bitcoin's potential as a store of value amid dollar devaluation, comparing it to gold. Gasparino critiques the Biden administration's regulatory stance on crypto, suggesting it stifled innovation and technology. He anticipates a shift in regulation under Trump, which could foster technological advancements in the crypto space. He emphasizes the need for Bitcoin to demonstrate utility beyond speculation. Gasparino reflects on the Ripple case, arguing that the SEC's actions were excessive, especially when compared to the lack of regulation faced by fraudulent actors like Sam Bankman-Fried. He believes Ripple's regulatory challenges have hindered its technological progress. The conversation shifts to the political landscape, with Gasparino noting that Trump's embrace of crypto could resonate with millions of crypto holders, suggesting that this demographic may influence future elections. The hosts discuss the media's role in shaping public perception, particularly regarding Biden's presidency and the economy. Gasparino argues that the mainstream media is increasingly out of touch with average Americans, who are struggling with inflation and economic challenges. He highlights the disconnect between Wall Street's performance and the realities faced by everyday people. As the conversation progresses, they touch on the implications of AI in journalism, with Gasparino asserting that AI cannot replace the nuanced reporting that human journalists provide. He concludes by promoting his book, "Go Woke, Go Broke: The Radicalization of Corporate America," which critiques the influence of progressive values in corporate America and the media. The discussion wraps up with a light-hearted exchange about potential future political candidates from the Trump family.

Plundering the Crisis Economy with John Titus
Guests: John Titus, Mark Goodwin
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of the Unlimited Hangout podcast, hosts Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin discuss the significant role of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, in the financial landscape, particularly during economic crises. They highlight BlackRock's involvement in the 2008 financial crisis and its subsequent relationship with the Federal Reserve, which has raised concerns about conflicts of interest and the prioritization of profits over public welfare. John Titus, a guest on the show, explains how BlackRock's "going direct" policy, introduced before the COVID-19 pandemic, facilitated a massive wealth transfer during the crisis. The Fed's intervention, designed by BlackRock, involved purchasing assets from non-bank entities, which was a departure from its previous practices of bailing out banks. This shift allowed for an unprecedented increase in the money supply, contributing to inflation and economic instability. The conversation also touches on the consolidation of banks following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, with Titus asserting that many economic calamities were intentionally orchestrated to consolidate control over the financial services industry. The hosts discuss the implications of this consolidation and the potential for future crises, emphasizing the need for public awareness and scrutiny of these developments. Titus further elaborates on the concept of "killer whale accounts," which are large bank accounts that can destabilize banks if funds are withdrawn rapidly. He cites Peter Thiel's actions during the Silicon Valley Bank crisis as a prime example of how these accounts can lead to systemic risks. The discussion shifts to the rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and their role in the financial system, with Titus arguing that they serve as a control mechanism for large asset managers like BlackRock. The hosts explore the implications of this control on corporate governance and the broader economy. As the conversation progresses, they delve into the potential for a digital currency and the implications of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Titus expresses skepticism about the transition to a purely digital monetary system, emphasizing the advantages of the current debt-based system for those in power. The episode concludes with reflections on the upcoming elections and the potential for financial crises to be used as a pretext for further regulatory changes that could diminish transparency and public oversight. Titus urges listeners to invest in their knowledge and remain vigilant against the machinations of those in power, emphasizing the importance of public pressure on politicians to hold them accountable.

Guests: James Lavish

Senator Lummis and Trump are discussing a Bitcoin Reserve, which could significantly impact Bitcoin's future. James Lavish, co-managing partner of the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, highlights the dual economies in the U.S.: one benefiting from asset inflation and the other, lower-income demographics, suffering from rising consumer prices. The U.S. faces a massive debt issue, with over $36 trillion in public debt and unfunded liabilities exceeding $200 trillion. Lavish argues that the debt-driven economy is unsustainable, and any attempts to cut spending or raise taxes face significant political challenges. He discusses potential inflationary policies under Trump, including tariffs and energy deregulation, which could lower energy costs and mitigate inflation. Lavish notes that institutional interest in Bitcoin is growing, especially with the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs, which simplify investment in Bitcoin. He believes that countries like Russia and El Salvador are quietly accumulating Bitcoin, viewing it as a strategic asset. Lavish anticipates that inflation could surge again, potentially reaching 5-15%, driven by the need to manage debt. He encourages investors to consider Bitcoin as a store of value amidst ongoing economic challenges.

The PayPal Presidency Part III: New World Currency with Mark Goodwin
Guests: Mark Goodwin
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of Unlimited Hangout, Whitney Webb and guest Mark Goodwin discuss the influence of the PayPal Mafia on U.S. finance and currency, particularly in light of the recent GENIUS Act, which regulates stablecoins. The PayPal Mafia, including figures like David Sacks, has gained significant power over U.S. fiscal policy, with ambitions rooted in creating a "new world currency." Sacks has claimed that cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, align with PayPal's original goals but in a decentralized manner, a claim Goodwin argues is misleading as it still leads to centralization and Orwellian control over finances. Goodwin elaborates on the history of stablecoins, particularly Tether, and how the PayPal Mafia's connections to Tether's foundation reveal a deeper agenda. The GENIUS Act aims to establish regulations for stablecoins, mandating that they be backed by U.S. Treasuries, thus reinforcing the dollar's dominance. Goodwin highlights the instability of stablecoins, citing the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the FTX scandal, which exposed vulnerabilities in the system and led to calls for stricter regulations. The discussion also touches on the implications of stablecoins as tools for surveillance and control, drawing parallels to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Goodwin warns that while stablecoins may appear beneficial, they could ultimately serve as instruments of state control, with the potential for user data to be surveilled and funds seized without recourse. As the conversation concludes, Goodwin emphasizes the importance of being informed about these developments and encourages listeners to consider their personal boundaries regarding financial technologies. He advocates for building community trust and alternative systems to navigate the emerging financial landscape shaped by the PayPal Mafia and the U.S. government.
