    ‘They’ve Given Up on the Country’: Inside the Financial Coup | Catherine Austin Fitts
    Jan 27 2026
    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Catherine Austin Fitts, Publisher of The Solari Report & Former Bush administration official Catherine Austin Fitts, for a wide-ranging and urgent conversation on what she describes as a financial coup already underway.Fitts explains why the global monetary system is no longer functioning as a currency system – but as a control grid, with the end-goal being programmable money, digital surveillance, and centralized power. She lays out how bankers quietly gained control over both fiscal and monetary policy, why she believes political factions in Washington are unified on this agenda, and what it means for individual freedom.The discussion also turns to gold and silver, with Fitts arguing that the surge in physical delivery reflects collapsing trust in the financial system’s “plumbing” and growing concern over paper leverage.In this episode of Little by Little:- A financial coup explained- Programmable money and the control grid- Why Washington factions are unified- Physical gold and silver as a response to systemic risk- How people prepare without feeding tyrannyFollow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Catherine Audtin Fitts & The Solari Report: https://x.com/solari_the Subscribe to The Solari Report here: https://solari.com/ #money #digitalmoney #cbdcs #currency #control #surveillance 00:00 Coming Up01:33 Welcome to Little by Little02:36 Catherine Austin Fitts07:09 The Governance Problem in the U.S.13:56 The Financial Reset & Digital Currency19:24 The Genius Act & Digital Control23:20 Trump & the Control Grid23:59 The Control Grid & AI's Role26:23 The Threat of Stablecoins27:24 The Clarity Act Debate33:35 Gold & Silver Market Dynamics40:41 The Future of Dollar Dominance44:51 Closing Thoughts & Final Remarks👍 Like, 🔔 Subscribe, and Stay InformedJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

  • A Flock of Black Swans Is Forming & the Power Elite Knows Exactly Why | Thornton & Schectman

    A Flock of Black Swans Is Forming & the Power Elite Knows Exactly Why | Thornton & Schectman
    Jan 14 2026
    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with Dr. Mark Thornton, Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute, for a deep-dive into the systemic fragilities building beneath the surface of the global financial system and why a flock of black swans is forming all at once.Thornton explains how central banks, political elites, and entrenched power structures have spent decades inflating bubbles, suppressing interest rates, weaponizing currencies, and expanding government controls. Now those policies are converging into a historic breaking point.From the breakdown of the dollar-led order to BRICS building parallel payment rails… from exploding sovereign debt to the yen carry trade… from stress in the banking system to the widening disconnect between derivatives and physical gold & silver – the “unknown unknowns” are piling up.According to Thornton, none of this is random. The elites know exactly why these black swans are multiplying and why the public will be the last to see it.In this episode of Little by Little:- Why multiple black swan risks are emerging at the same time- The role of central banks and political elites in engineering systemic fragility- BRICS, gold accumulation, and the rise of alternative settlement systems- Silver as a “critical mineral” and the strategic battle over supply- How stablecoins and the GENIUS Act may fast-track a U.S. monetary resetFollow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCoFollow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman Follow Dr. Mark Thornton on X: https://x.com/DrMarkThornton Follow the Mises Institute: https://mises.org/subscribe-newsletter Get your free copy of Hayek for the 21st Century00:00 Coming Up01:06 Introduction01:49 Ludwig Von Mises & Austrian Economics04:06 US Dollar & Global Trade Dynamics10:03 Gold & Precious Metals Market16:41 Silver's Strategic Importance20:00 BRICS & Global Financial Shifts25:54 Potential Financial Crises31:48 Cryptocurrencies & Government Regulation37:30 Conclusion & ResourcesJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.

  • ‘London Silver & Gold Market Is a Smoking Hole’ – What Happens Next | David Jensen & Andy Schectman

    ‘London Silver & Gold Market Is a Smoking Hole’ – What Happens Next | David Jensen & Andy Schectman
    Jan 14 2026
    Andy Schectman, Founder & CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, sits down with mining executive and precious metals analyst David Jensen to break down what may be the most important silver story of our time: a rolling failure inside the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). Jensen explains why the world’s most important physical silver market briefly seized up in October, how backwardation, lease rates, and unallocated positions point to a system already in distress, and why the recent 50-million-ounce emergency injection of metal may only delay the inevitable. Andy and David map out the structural fragility of the LBMA, the global East vs West battle for physical metal, China’s growing control over silver flows, and what a true silver default would mean for investors, institutions, and global price discovery.In this episode of Little by Little:- Why the LBMA’s spot market nearly froze despite 790M oz in the vaults- The return of backwardation and what it signals- How the LBMA is trading ~700M oz/day with almost no real float- China’s strategic silver restrictions and refinery dominance- Why Jensen believes “the system has already defaulted”- The future of global gold and silver price discovery- Why everything is now becoming local and dependent on trustThis interview was recorded on Nov 12, 2025.You can subscribe to David Jensen’s substack here: https://jensendavid.substack.com/ Follow Miles Franklin Media on X: https://x.com/MilesFranklinCo Follow Andy Schectman on X: https://x.com/ASchectman 00:00 Introduction & Guest Welcome01:23 The London Silver Market02:10 Differences Between LBMA & Comex03:58 Market Dynamics & Structural Fragility11:49 Global East vs. Global West Shift16:04 Future of LBMA & Market Trust Issues25:01 Conclusion & Final ThoughtsJoin Miles Franklin Media for expert interviews, market insights, and real-time coverage of gold, silver, Bitcoin, and global economics.
