Catherine Austin Fitts on how psychopaths are able to run the world
"people who have no empathy are really good at... organizing for self-benefit"
"[So] you have... 3 to 5% sort of psychopath[s] [at the top], [and then] 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them"
"then you have the other 60 to 70% [of the population] who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing, drives them crazy. And they become neurotic"
This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (@solari_the), is taken from a discussion with Alix Mayer (@alixm) posted to YouTube on June 3, 2026.

"There's a wonderful book called Political Ponerology. Have you ever read it? Okay, so, the, the description of the book is as follows. It was a psychologist who had been a young man during Hitler in Poland. And after the war then Stalin came in and he was at university and he and a group of colleagues decided, you know, because they'd been so traumatized by all this tyranny, they said, we're going to study the intersection of psychopathy with politics.
"And that's ponerology, the study of psychopathy mixed— And here's what they— And they wrote the book, he said, three times, tried to get it out from behind the Iron Curtain and then, failed, had to destroy it. And then when he finally got out after '89, he wrote it from memory.
"And here's what it said. And what he said was that most people are born with empathy and they can't fathom not only that other people don't have empathy, but that the people who have no empathy are really good at getting together and organizing for self-benefit.
"So the people with no empathy are much more effective at conspiracies than the people with empathy. Okay?
"So anyway, what he said was about 20 to 25% of the population who are competent at running things are willing to work for the people who don't have empathy as long as they get paid well.
"And if you look at the history of America, the way we've gotten here is a lot of people got paid a lot of money, whether with their stocks and bonds or whether their job helping the people who have no empathy do all the evil doing.
"I mean, you know that because if you look at what's going on in medicine, you can see it clearly.
"So what happens is you have the 3 to 5% sort of psychopathic, then you have the 20 to 25% who are making a lot of money helping them. And then you have the other 60 to 70% who can't fathom what's going on. And what the others are doing, what the smaller groups are doing drives them crazy. And they become neurotic.
"They become neurotic about the food, they become neurotic about the healthcare, they become neurotic about programmable money. And until they finally come to understand, you're dealing with psychopathic and you're dealing with people who will help the psychopaths for money.
"And what he said was once people could fathom what was going on, suddenly they started being effective."
Eastern Power Grid ALERT:
Remember just weeks ago when people like myself and Dr. Chris Martenson warned about the fragility of the U.S. East power grid and how the grid was headed for catastrophic energy shortages on high-demand days?
Yep, those days just arrived. Beginning yesterday, to be exact.
According to PJM's website reporting on July 2nd power demand:
"PJM executed a series of procedures to manage demand and maximize supply when some generation tripped offline, including calling on emergency demand response. PJM also issued a warning to prepare some transmission owners and utilities for the possibility of curtailing data centers and other large loads in their regions and moving them to backup generation. Ultimately, that action was not required and service was not impacted. Depending on how demand materializes at or near the peak July 3 and based on ongoing conditions, PJM could need to activate these same procedures or others."
In other words, if the weather gets even hotter, data centers start to go down.
The data centers on the Eastern grid serve the CIA, NSA, Pentagon and basically all the federal agencies that spy on Americans and run the corrupt kleptocracy. If these start to go down -- potentially including AWS data centers -- the government as we know it today cannot function.
This is why the White House recently called for people to raise the temperature on their thermostats, to reduce air conditioning usage. We've now arrived at that moment where the government's data center interests directly conflict the housing infrastructure requirements for the American people. They want you to turn off your HVAC so they can run more data center spying operations on you.
"The Maximum Generation Alert and Load Management Alert is currently in effect for July 3 for the PJM footprint," says the PJM website (source link below).
All of this is going to get far, far worse by June of 2027, when PJM has already openly admitted it cannot continue to serve the eastern grid even at current levels of service quality (which is obviously inadequate).
I covered this in an article here:

And I even released an infographic with all the details.

Ahhh …. Net Zero, is supposed to protect the environment isn’t it?
So we’re concreting over 850 acres of countryside with Britain’s biggest AI data centre. (Concrete being one of the key materials we’re told is carbon intensive and destroying the climate)
It will need about 1.5GW of electricity (about 3% of the UK’s peak demand), and with vast amounts of rainwater that would ordinarily fall on agricultural land and serve rivers and reservoirs. (I thought we had a water shortage?)
And don’t talk about jobs haha, these are short term construction, after that these sheds are mostly automated.
So what we’re basically saying is that existential climate change isn’t as important as the infrastructure required to control us … interesting priorities. Got it!
Geologist Gregory Wrightstone dispels the "man-made climate crisis" narrative, noting that Earth's current warming trend began two centuries before significant CO₂ emissions.
He maintains that historical warm periods "were hugely beneficial" for human civilisation compared to historical cold periods.
"These cold periods were absolutely horrific for humanity. Every time it got cold throughout human history, we had crop failure, famine, pestilence, and mass depopulation."
"The warmer periods—warmer than today—were hugely beneficial for mankind. We had food abundance—civilisations and empires thrived."
"It's completely contrary to what we're being told."
WOW 😮
“In Part 1 of this two-part series, we unravel the real history of Polymarket, directly connecting the company to Peter Thiel's efforts to resurrect controversial DARPA programs from its now defunct Information Awareness Office. Polymarket appears to have been chosen by Thiel and his associates to succeed in resurrecting DARPA's Policy Analysis Market where another Thiel-linked company, Augur, had previously failed.”
You can dial in right now to see me live as I join James Li and Dani Love on the today podcast to cover all things Maha, including the fight to stop SOBA, protect states, rights, and protect farmers from agrochemical monopolies!!! I join in 20 minutes! @5149jamesli

President Trump has now declared a national fertilizer emergency, admitting that there are insufficient domestic supplies to meet fertilizer demand for farmers. (Proclamation 11038 on June 29th, invoking Section 318(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930.)
Remember that myself and Michael Yon warned about this in March, and then again in the months since. The war with Iran unleashed a global fertilizer supply chain collapse that is now being admitted by the White House... a move that was inevitable.
Famine is being engineered. Food shortages are coming.
I'll have full coverage in a new report tomorrow.
🚨 BOMBSHELL! Top journalist Ana Kasparian drops a massive revelation.
She confirms the UAE just bought half of the Trump family's crypto company, funneling a staggering 580 million dollars directly to the President.
The White House is entirely for sale.
The CIA BURIED a Soviet study in the 1950s showing anti-parasitics SUPPRESS CANCER GROWTH—and kept it CLASSIFIED for over 60 YEARS.
An entire generation of cancer research was DERAILED for over HALF A CENTURY, and millions of cancer victims have paid the price.
@cheo_coker@HieroImperium They came up in a time when you would read when you were bored. Everybody didn't have cable. No internet. That broadened their vocabulary.
Meta burns $2.65B a year on AI tokens. at $300K for a Meta engineer, that's enough to pay ~9,000 engineers for a full year.
now ask yourself: since the layoffs, has Meta shipped anything that feels like 9,000 engineers’ worth of output?
A fact-check for the unhinged and raving @megynkelly:
U.S. colonialism, racism, bloody regime changes, extraction, greed, and theft are why Haytians must flee Hayti.
Today, the Haytian airport in the capital is closed and occupied by the U.S. military. A plane ticket to Hayti is upwards to $3,500 USD, while the U.S. destabilizes Hayti by flooding criminals with U.S. guns and uses Hayti — home to the fourth-largest U.S. embassy in the world — to steal its natural resources: gold, oil, natural gas, iridium, et al., and to commandeer its waterways to spy and wage wars to destroy Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
Stop your genocidal, bloody, warmongering, colonist thieving-white supremacist "culture" @Megynkelly , @MegynKellyShow. Get your fake charity predators, pedophiles and poverty-pimping corporations that put profit-over-people forcing a 20cents an hour minimum wage in Hayti and no Haytian would have to leave for safety and to feed their families in a high cost US hemisphere. Until then, femen bèk ou.
#FreeHayti
Michael Yon, David DuByne, myself and a few others have been sternly warning about the engineered GLOBAL FAMINE that's now in play. The goal, of course, is a sharp reduction in human populations.
