From [HERE] “They’re trying to build a control grid and they’re building it in different steps,” Catherine Austin Fitts, founder and publisher of “The Solari Report,” told viewers of “Financial Rebellion” on an episode of “Good Morning, CHD.”

Biometric scans, QR codes, Real ID and digital money — they’re all steps in that process, said Austin Fitts.

“And when they all link together, you are in a digital concentration camp and they can take all of your assets, they can take your kids, they have complete control,” she said.

Some people oppose some steps and not others, Austin Fitts said. Conservatives tend to support a biometric surveillance system at the border, for example. But people don’t understand that the pieces are all part of building a total biometric surveillance system.

Austin Fitts — the former U.S. assistant secretary of Housing and Urban Development — cited historian Carol Quigley, who argued that part of the goal of financial capitalism was to concentrate financial control in private hands so that those who controlled the financial system could also control the political system.

Austin Fitts said today this type of control depends on the ability to centrally control the rules of finance. The central bankers are now merging with big tech, creating a control system. “And they’re doing it leg by leg, bit by bit,” Austin Fitts said. “And if you buy into the different bits, it’s going to snap together.”

She likened it to marching into the slaughterhouse. “We are helping to build our own prisons. You’ve got to back out,” she said

Austin Fitts said the key to a successful financial control grid is a high-quality national ID system like the national Real ID, that can be aggregated globally.

Co-host Carolyn Betts explained that in 2005, Congress passed the REAL ID Act, establishing a national system for sharing driver information across states. The system included federal requirements for more onerous forms of identification to obtain a driver’s license. [MORE]
