Catherine Austin Fitts was interviewed on the David Knight show last week.

Catherine Austin Fitts is a Wharton graduate, and was the first woman to be promoted to managing director of Dillon, Read and Co, Inc., the “prototypical elitist men’s club Wall Street investment bank.”

Fitts was instrumental in building a new market for Dillon Read. She began underwriting previously unrated municipal bonds, in essence, financing large government projects which other Wall Street firms said couldn’t be done.

These novel bond sales helped revive New York City’s crumbling subway system, and they provided funding for the City University of New York and other major projects.

The market in unrated and low-rated muni bonds took off, earning Fitts the title of “Wonder Woman of Muni Bonds,” in a glowing Business Week article (February 23, 1987). (Source.)

Fitts worked on the campaign of George H. W. Bush during the 1988 United States presidential election, and was appointed as Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing in the Bush administration, where she was charged with repairing the department’s reputation in the aftermath of the savings and loan crisis.

She resigned her post in 1990, following a report that her relationship with Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Jack Kemp had soured. (Source.)

After leaving government, Fitts founded Hamilton Securities, an employee-owned brokerage house, which she ran until 1998. In 1993, Hamilton Securities won a contract with HUD to manage its $500 billion investment portfolio.

However, she did her job too well, as she learned that when you save taxpayers money, you are often lowering revenues for the D.C. crime syndicate.

The Bush family, or those associated with the Bush family, allegedly destroyed her career and threatened to murder people in her family if she went public with what she knew, and she briefly touches on this in her interview with David Knight.

She now runs the Solari Report as a totally private entity.

I have annotated down about 7 minutes from her nearly 1-hour interview with David Knight, where she talks about the Epstein financial network of laundering money.

She asks the question, “How many people in this current administration have major files in the Epstein operation“?

Here’s a partial transcript:

They’re all scared (in the Trump administration). How many people in this current administration have major files in the Epstein operation?

The only guy who doesn’t look scared about the whole thing is Howard Lutnik, because he had the house next door (to Epstein). I’m assuming he got the downloads. Are the Epstein tapes over in his house?

Between the administration and Congress, how many people do you think will stand real transparency around the Epstein files?

When I was in Washington, the Cabinet Secretary (Jack Kemp) I was working for was compromised in the Franklin cover up.

And when the Washington Times started running stories about the Franklin Cover-up, he just went crazy, and was being blackmailed. And I was in the middle of it, because he was trying to order me to do illegal things, and I wouldn’t do it.

I’ve never seen a human being more terrified, more afraid. I mean he was just terrified.

Because here he is, you know, a big family man and a Christian, and somebody is blackmailing him, presumably over pedophilia and he’s scared to death.

There’s a wonderful book called the Red Mafia by Robert Freidman, about the Russian mafia. And the important thing to understand about the Russian mafia is they’re 99% Jewish. So you have enormous rat lines through the Ukraine, into Israel, into New York, and London.

So London, New York, Israel, Ukraine.

When we talk about the Ukraine, you can think of it as a war, (but) I think of it as a huge financial money laundering operation. The Epstein operation is right in the middle of that.

And when Trump says to Zelensky “you don’t hold the cards,” Zelensky is thinking “No, my name is on the bank accounts, and I still got pots of money, and I have all the intel about where the money came in, and where it went out.”

So he does hold cards, is what it looks like to me.

A great source that I found about the story of Catherine Austin Fitts, is an article published in 2002 by Scoop Independent News, titled: Enemy Of The State – The Catherine Fitts Story. It is on Archive.org.
