I’m not in the habit of paying that much attention to Alex Jones, but from time to time, he does have the goods, even if his “conspiracy theorizing” often just takes matters too far for credibility. I could say the same thing for his frequent guest, investment advisor and precious metals advocate, Catherine Austin Fitts. Fitts was once the Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development during the first Bush Administration, and she’s a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and the holder of an MBA from the prestigious Wharton School. She’s a sophisticated, well-traveled, passionate and intelligent woman who also happens to be a 9/11 truther and has written of her overwrought theories that the purpose of the flu vaccine is depopulation.

Oh well, can’t have everything, can we? There’s obviously a reason she’s always on the Alex Jones radio show.

Should these far-out viewpoints eliminate her as someone to take seriously on the matter of how the global economy works? I don’t think so, which is why I’m linking to this fascinating interview that Catherine Austin Fitts gave to one of Alex Jones’ producers. It’s absolutely worth your time, even if a little bit too long. Watch at least the first 5 or 6 minutes. Consider the implications of the example she uses of the three women in Tennessee and what they each did with their money. It’s striking to hear it put this way, I think you’ll agree.

And if you do, then you should really consider watching this all the way through. I did and I got a lot out of it, even if the way she sees the world and my admittedly more, er, Trotskyite “orientation,” aren’t exactly coming from the same place. Her notion, expressed in the beginning of this video, that the American people could “shift the flow” of where capital gets invested by taking it AWAY from the big banks so Wall St. won’t have such easy access to it is a revolutionary idea and she explains it in a way that anyone could understand it. This is something that Ron Paul fanatics and Marxists could probably both get behind.
