Why They Need Total Control of Your Money - Catherine Austin Fitts & Michelle Makori (Video)

In this 22 June 2026 published video, host 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
