You put cows in a field\u2026 and they multiply,<\/strong>&#8221; she told Sagdal. &#8220;They&#8217;re the ultimate in increase.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/2024-12-09_12-34-10_1.png?itok=rK7j-Zii\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This sentiment fits hand in glove with that of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/beefinitiative\">The Beef Initiative<\/a> &#8211; the concept that <strong>investing in local, regenerative agriculture not only ensures food access, but represents a resilient form of wealth creation<\/strong>. In Fitts&#8217; opinion, families and communities should form long-term capital relationships with ranchers; a reversal of decades-long trends in corporate food centralization<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fitts is urging private investors to begin financing and building relationships with their nearest farmers and ranchers<\/strong> in order to <strong>maintain health, and mental clarity during the ongoing &#8220;war&#8221; on freedom.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just &#8216;purchase and finance the capacity you need. It&#8217;s more than that &#8220;&#8221; Fitts said. &#8220;You need be part of <strong>funding and organizing political efforts designed to protect your food supply<\/strong>. You need to do all these things, because <strong>this is war,<\/strong> and if you want to win you need to be healthy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The war that Fitts refers to is neither kinetic, nor overtly seen. Rather, the effects of this silent war are felt and <strong>experienced through increased surveillance and a general sense that things are not okay\u2014especially in the wake of the Covid-19<\/strong> pandemic. And while the pandemic may have exposed the fragility of America&#8217;s supply chains, Sagdal and Fitts address the origins of this fragility.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How have we arrived in our current predicament, where our cattle volumes are at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/food\">seventy-year-low<\/a>, where our food security has been hollowed-out, and our middle class is gone? What is the goal for the next phase, and how do we stop it?&#8221; asked Sagdal &#8211; tying into a <a href=\"https:\/\/tuckercarlson.com\/tucker-show-catherine-fitts\">recent interview<\/a> Fitts gave to Tucker Carlson.<\/p>\n<p>Fitts responds by sharing that people within <strong>central banking have used new technologies to centralize control.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wwmOkaKh3-s\">Sir James Goldsmith<\/a> was talking about, the <strong>global centralization of economic and political control<\/strong>,&#8221; Fitts said, referring to a 1994 interview with Charlie Rose.&#8221; It&#8217;s continued for my whole lifetime. <strong>And, as we see this centralization of control, we witness the deterioration of the quality of life.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Globalization] uprooted the countryside, bloated the towns, destabilized the towns, and created terrible chaos,&#8221; said Goldsmith, referring to the The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. &#8220;Under global trade agreements like GATT, millions of small farmers were displaced in favor of &#8220;efficient&#8221; industrial agriculture, &#8220;to satisfy an economic doctrine\u2026 We are worshiping the wrong god: economic index,&#8221; Goldsmith continued.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>CBDCs and the Coming Age of Programmable Money<\/h2>\n<p>The conversation delved into an interesting intersection; <strong>monetary policy and surveillance<\/strong>. According to Fitts &#8211; a (based) former Bush administration official, <strong>the push toward Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) represents not financial inclusion, but financial control.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Referencing public comments by BIS general manager <strong>Agust\u00edn Carstens,<\/strong> Fitts warned that <strong>CBDCs could give governments the power to dictate<\/strong> not just how money is spent &#8211; but if it can be spent at all. &#8220;If you&#8217;re locked down and can&#8217;t leave your house, your money won&#8217;t work outside your house, &#8220;she said. &#8220;<strong>If they don&#8217;t want you eating pizza, you can&#8217;t eat pizza<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Carstens, in a widely viewed IMF panel, <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7MfMGcviIyA?feature=shared&amp;t=590\">stated<\/a>: &#8220;<strong>Central banks will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of [CBDCs]<\/strong>\u2026 and the technology to enforce that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Fitts, this is essentially akin to the Chinese Communist Party&#8217;s social credit score &#8211; a goal plainly stated by<strong> <\/strong>Bo Li, the Deputy Director of the IMF and former Assistant Director of the People&#8217;s Bank of China. In short&#8230; <strong>CBDC is social credit on steroids.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By programming CBDC [Central Bank Digital Currency], those money can be <strong>precisely targeted for what kind of people can own, and what kind of use this money can be utilized,&#8221; Li calmly outlines. &#8220;For example, for food.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Fitts explains that all money and monetary policy will be an expression of a Central Bank liability\u2026with the technology to enforce it. &#8220;<strong>In other words, it&#8217;s not your money, it&#8217;s our money.<\/strong>\u00a0 So, we can set the rules around how you use our money,\u00a0 and we can enforce it centrally. And what he was referring to was A.I. and software.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;We&#8217;re<\/strong><strong>\u00a0talking about the most invasive form of tyranny that&#8217;s ever existed on this planet,&#8221; <\/strong>Fitts warns.&#8221; What has been happening, you know, is this system has been slowly tightening around each of us. It&#8217;s now coming to the point where it&#8217;s more visible.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now we&#8217;re talking about getting into something that&#8217;s complete control, and of course you can&#8217;t control the money in this way unless you can control the food supply,&#8221; she continued, suggesting that <strong>this level of government control isn&#8217;t possible unless they can control the food supply and the amount of land available for private use.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Land Grabs in the Wake of Disaster<\/h2>\n<p>Fitts alleges that recent crises &#8211; from the pandemic to natural disasters &#8211; have provided cover for rapid land centralization. &#8220;<strong>During stagflation\u2026 that&#8217;s the perfect opportunity where the people who can print money can finance themselves grabbing a lot of land<\/strong>,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sagdal added that programs administered through HUD and tied to &#8220;resilient city&#8221; planning often mask community displacements under euphemisms like &#8220;strategic buyouts&#8221; or &#8220;community-driven relocation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Watch the rest of the interview below, where Fitts and Sagdal discuss;<\/p>\n<p><em>The <strong>Invisible Cattle Problem<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Fraud<\/strong>, Entrainment, and Psychological Manipulation<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>A <strong>Battle Over the Brain<\/strong> \u2014 and the Plate<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>What to do?<\/h2>\n<p>Start by <strong>taking control of your food supply<\/strong>: skip the multinational-owned supermarkets marketing questionable products by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/store.zerohedge.com\/rancher-direct-clean-food\/\"><strong>buying rancher-direct<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second, read the bombshell <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/food\/maha-report-corporate-capture-and-revolving-door\">MAHA Report<\/a><\/strong> released last week by Health &amp; Human Services and the White House to understand the <strong>blueprint<\/strong> for reshaping America&#8217;s food supply chain, with <strong>local farmers at the center<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re trying to do here with the Beef Initiative<\/strong>; helping <em>you<\/em> and your loved ones to become less reliant on multinational corporations&#8217; hormone-laden slop.
