von Lars Schall

Hardly another serious plague to
society is associated with more hypocrisy and erroneous assumptions than
the drug business. So Lars Schall talked with Catherine Austin Fitts, who
explains the real deal: “It’s a very old business. It goes back to the
question of how you control the most territory with the fewest players as
possible.”

Catherine Austin Fitts is a graduate from the
University of Pennsylvania (BA) and the Wharton School (MBA). At the
Chinese University of Hong Kong she studied Mandarin. She served as a
managing director and member of the board of the Wall Street investment
bank Dillon, Read & Co, Inc. (now part of UBS). Later, she was
Assistant Secretary of Housing and Federal Housing Commissioner at the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) during the
presidency of George Herbert Walker Bush. As such, she was responsible for
the operations of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the largest
mortgage insurance fund of the world.

After leaving the Bush Administration,
Fitts founded The Hamilton Securities Group, Inc., an investment bank and
financial software developer named after the first U.S. Secretary of
Treasury, Alexander Hamilton. In 1996, she and her successful company
became targets of a vicious, longlasting “qui tam lawsuit”, that resulted
in the closing of Hamilton Securities.[1] Fitts was ultimately successful
in Court of Claims litigation asserting that the government had no right
to withhold monies owed to Hamilton.

In the years afterwards, Fitts spoke
publicly about the degree of fraud endemic in the federal mortgage
operations, trillions missing from government agencies and the connections
to drug trafficking and “black budgets.”[2] Moreover, with her mentioned
expertise, she was one of the first to warn of an approaching housing
bubble. Her prediction that the ”strong dollar policy” would lead to a
weakened federal credit is currently being proven correct.

Fitts is the president of Solari, Inc.,
publisher of “The Solari Report” (www.solari.com), and managing member of
Solari Investment Advisory Services, LLC. She serves on the board of
directors of the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee, GATA (www.gata.org),
and writes “The Real Deal” column for Scoop Media in New Zealand (www.scoop.co.nz).

Catherine Austin Fitts lives in
Tennessee, U.S.A.

The following interview was conducted,
while she sat in her car and drove across the U.S.-state of
Montana.

Can we do the interview, although
you’re behind the wheel now?

Yes, I’m on the Interstate and it’s
straight, there’s nothing to do except holding the course.

And Montana has a rather flat
landscape, correct?

At this moment it is very flat.

Shall we start then?

Sure, go ahead.

Okay Ms. Fitts: in your highly
impressive e-book “Dillon, Read & Co. Inc. and the Aristocracy of
Stock Profits” you mention as a prime factor that governs our lives on
planet earth for roughly the last 500 years “the central banking-warfare
investment model.” Can you describe to us at the beginning of this
interview some of the essential characteristics, rationales and goals of
that “model”?

“The central banking-warfare investment
model” is really a control model, through which a small group of people
can control the most resources on the most profitable basis. Essentially
what happens is: Central banks print money and then the military makes
sure that other parties accept it and that the financial system continues
to have liquidity. The question many people ask with regards to a fiat
currency, which is a paper currency, is: Why would anybody take paper,
which has no value? They take the paper, because it’s part of the
enforcement and military supervision, if you will, of the network that is
printing the money. The system has created a fantastically profitable way
of controlling large populations and access to resources very cheaply.

Let’s say for a second that Mr. Global is
in charge of “the central banking-warfare investment model”: Mr. Global
prints money and then people take that paper and give him in essence what
he needs to buy up and control the national resources. The population is
dependent on his paper and then he controls all the real things. Also
through the military, he can steal whatever he wants. And organized crime
is a very important component as well, because it can be expansive to drop
an army and to occupy a place. If he can take over a place and buy that
place with the place’s own money, it’s much more efficient, and that’s
where the drug business traditionally comes in. It’s basically part of a
model for controlling a territory with huge resources in the cheapest way
possible.

One aspect of the model, that you
have just described, is to attract and launder a lot of “liquid cash flow”
through the American financial system that is generated by drug
trafficking. The UN-chief on drugs, Antonio Maria Costa, stated something
interesting in that respect last year. He said:

“In the second half of 2008, liquidity
was the banking system's main problem and hence liquid capital became an
important factor … Inter-bank loans were funded by money that originated
from the drugs trade and other illegal activities ... There were signs
that some banks were rescued that way.”[3]

He said moreover, that drug money
is by “now a part of the official system” as if this was something new.
What do you think about these “revelations”?

I think that the drug business is a very
old model. For the North-American continent I would take it all the way
back to the Opium Wars with China, though I think it certainly goes back
longer than that. But when the British Empire almost went broke trading
with the Chinese, the way the Britons fought back was by smuggling opium
into China that they were growing in India.
