Miles Franklin Media – YouTube, Released on 4/2/26

Miles Franklin Media presents a conversation featuring Andy Schectman in discussion with Catherine Austin Fitts on The Solari Report. Is the financial system quietly being rebuilt into something far more controlled? And are stablecoins, tokenization, and digital finance the gateway to a new surveillance structure? Schectman and Fitts break down the deeper story behind gold’s recent volatility, the growing disconnect between paper and physical markets, and why global trust in the U.S. dollar and Treasuries may be eroding faster than expected. But the real warning goes beyond gold. From programmable money to the rise of digital transaction monitoring, they argue that what’s being built today could fundamentally reshape financial freedom and not in the way most people expect.
