A former senior United States government official has sparked debate after saying powerful figures are intentionally pursuing policies that reduce life expectancy as a means of managing economic pressures.
Catherine Austin Fitts made the remarks during an interview with Steve Kirsch, published Friday on the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation Rumble channel.
Fitts was Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Housing from 1989-90 in the George H. W. Bush administration.
In the interview, Fitts alleged that those “running the system behind the scenes” believe reducing life expectancy is the only viable way to balance long-term financial obligations if populations cannot be shifted onto what she described as a “financially responsible plan.” She said the approach was intentional, suggesting it forms part of a broader strategy, while acknowledging that such claims are difficult for the public to accept.
Pressed during the discussion on whether alternative solutions exist, Fitts argued that the only viable alternative would be the creation of substantial new wealth from the ground up. She said this would require decentralised economic systems, reduced reliance on digital control structures, and a shift toward merit-based governance—conditions she claimed current power structures are unwilling to accept due to entrenched interests and the risks associated with exposing past financial practices.
Fitts also referenced her research into covert financial systems, claiming that discussions among high-level institutions and technology experts have explored ways to address what she described as ‘large-scale hidden liabilities’. However, she suggested such efforts are constrained by the profitability of secrecy and resistance from those benefiting from existing systems.
Catherine Austin Fitts:
“If you look at the people who are really running the system behind the scenes… they know… the only way you can balance the books is by lowering life expectancy. And that’s what they’re doing. And it’s absolutely intentional, and it is a plan.”

Just look at Nazi-stralia, letting people die from treatable medical conditions, if they refuse to take the experimental jab. They are not even hiding it anymore. Black Mirror isn’t just a show anymore.
