Lecture Notes: Interview with Katherine Austin Fitts

Introduction

  • Katherine Austin Fitts is the president of the Solari Report and a former investment banker.
  • Served as Assistant Secretary of Housing during the first Bush Administration.

Views on Trump Administration

  • Fitts expresses skepticism about hope invested in Trump administration. She describes a failed neoconservative strategy to maintain a “unipolar model.” The unipolar model refers to a world order dominated by a single superpower, in this case, the United States, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The neoconservative strategy aimed to solidify and perpetuate this dominance through various means, including military interventions, promoting democracy abroad, and maintaining technological and economic superiority. The interviewee argues this strategy ultimately failed because:
    * **Technological leadership was lost to China: The U.S. ceded significant ground in science and technology to China over the past decade.
    * **Failure to implode Russia:** A key part of the neoconservative plan involved weakening and destabilizing Russia to maintain U.S. dominance. This objective was not achieved.
    * **The plan to maintain hegemony against China failed: The overall goal of maintaining American dominance in the face of a rising China was unsuccessful. This failure, according to the interviewee, necessitates a “gut-wrenching change” in American policy and the adoption of new tools and strategies to navigate a multipolar world—one where power is distributed among multiple major players, not just the United States.
