They’re Building ‘Panopticon Prison’ Around Your Money & Freedom | Catherine Fitts & Michelle Makori

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, speaks with Catherine Austin Fitts, Publisher of The Solari Report, about what Fitts warns could become a “digital slavery system” built around programmable money, digital ID, AI, surveillance, and financial control. Fitts argues that while much of the debate has focused on CBDCs, the bigger threat may come through stablecoins, tokenized bank deposits, and distributed ledger systems that could allow money to be tracked, blocked, frozen, or controlled. She explains why she believes the digital control grid could be just years away, why the anti-CBDC debate may offer false comfort, and why cash, analog systems, and physical gold remain critical tools for preserving freedom. In this episode of The Real Story with Michelle Makori: Why stablecoins may be more dangerous than CBDCs How digital ID, AI, and programmable money could connect Why Fitts says the “control grid” is moving fast How family wealth could be at risk Why cash and gold matter outside the digital system CatherineAustinFitts #MichelleMakori #TheRealStory #MilesFranklinMedia #CBDC #Stablecoins #DigitalID #Gold #Cash #FinancialFreedom #ProgrammableMoney #DigitalCurrency #CentralBanks #TheSolariReport You can sign up for our newsletter here: https://milesfranklin.com/sign-up/ Follow Michelle Makori on X: https://x.com/MichelleMakori Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo Follow Catherine Austin Fitts on X: https://x.com/solari_the Subscribe to the Solari Report here: https://solari.com/ Download ‘Coming Clean: Building a Wonderful World’ here: https://solari.com/coming-clean/ 00:00 Coming Up 02:13 Introduction 04:06 What Is the Control Grid 08:55 Central Banker Admits It 11:19 Stablecoins Over CBDCs 14:57 Programmable Money Explained 19:49 CBDCs 27:13 What Stablecoins Are 32:10 Keeping Cash and Guardrails 42:31 Why Cash Still Matters 51:02 Is It All By Design 54:20 Oligarch Plan 56:32 Who Runs the System 57:16 Financing the Control Grid 58:43 WEF and the Great Reset 01:05:30 Stablecoins Drain Local Economies 01:06:52 UBI as the Carrot 01:16:08 Food Control and Community Money 01:17:51 Bitcoin as Prototype 01:23:02 Dollar Hegemony via Stablecoins 01:33:24 Five Year Outlook 01:38:23 Gold Cash and Asset Protection 01:44:43 Final Warning and Hope 01:46:20 Where to Learn More 👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay Informed Join Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
