Catherine Austin Fitts did a monumental interview with journalist Michael Yon just a couple of weeks ago that explains what the Iran war is all about.

Fitts, a former deputy assistant secretary for Housing and Urban Development in the first Bush administration and who now runs her own financial advisory firm, resides in Tennessee but lives more than half the year in the Netherlands. She is quite skeptical about where the Trump administration is taking America with its focus on wars overseas and erecting a digital surveillance grid here at home.

The Feb. 17 interview with Michael Yon took place two weeks before Trump launched his attack on Iran, but Fitts, like myself, already knew months ago that an attack was coming and could not be stopped even if Trump wanted to stop it.
