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.
