In this interview, Austin Fitts provides crucial background on DOGE and $21 trillion which has disappeared from Treasury accounts over the last 30 years. She asserts the US government has been operating as a criminal enterprise since October 1997.

She and other financial analysts first raised concerns in September 2001, when missing defense allocations reached $4 trillion. The following day a drone strike destroyed the Pentagon offices where these records were stored.

In 2012, the Washington Post was the first mainstream outlet to report on the “top secret projects” causing the Pentagon to repeatedly fail its financial audits. By 2015 the missing funds totaled $6.5 trillion.

In 2017, Austin Fitts published her own report when the total reached $21 trillion. See Missing Money

A year later Congress approved the Federal Accounting Statement Advisory Board #56 (see FASAB Statement 56: Understanding the New Government Financial Accounting Loopholes). This authorized 150 government entities to conceal financial transactions from the public (and Congress) on the grounds of national securtiy.

Among other projects, this black budget, diverted taxpayer funds to private corporations to maintain approximately 150 secret underground bases across the US and along the continental shelf. These bases focus on developing and deploying space weapons and other secret projects.

Austin Fitts believes one of the functions of DOGE may be to return these black budget projects onto the official balance sheet by privatizing them. She also believes the failed US war in Ukraine was launched to capture Russian resources, just as Trump’s proposed acquisition of Greenland, Canada and Panama is hoped to grab more resources for the US. If successful, they could be used to recoup trillions of dollars of technology the US government transferred to private companies without reimbursing taxpayers.

A second DOGE agenda, she believes is to eliminate civil service jobs (see Catherine Austin Fitts: What is the Real DOGE Agenda?) to allow Wall Street more direct control over federal fiscal spending (without being accountable to Congress).

A possible third DOGE agenda is to use massive federal job cuts to trigger a recession and lower the value of the US dollar, making US manufactured products more attractive overseas.

A a likely fourth is to plunder US government databases for personal and payment information Musk can use in developing his XAI, which Austin Fitts believes Wall Street and Tech oligarchs will ultimately use to control society. One of DOGE’s first moves was to fire the privacy and ethics officers charged with protecting US taxpayers data.

Austin Fitts believes Trump also plans to use his Wall Street banker controlled Stable Coin rollout to cover the $22 trillion black budget as well as the massive US deficit. Under Stable Coin, the global corporate mafia would control the ensuing digital social credit system, unlike a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), which be run by the Federal Reserve.

She believes Trump, DOGE and RFK Jr are genuine in their desire to reduce the ballooning Health and Human Services budget ($1.8 trillion in 2023). For the first time in history it exceeds the “official” defense budget ($857 billion or 0.857 trillion in 2023). According to HHS figures, estimates 54% of American children suffer from chronic illness. Austin Fitts estimates the true number is closer to 70%, as HHS can’t count children who are too poor to see a doctor.
