Investment advisor Catherine Austin Fitts says the oligarch, or establishment class, is on the attack. She calls this latest chapter in the Trump Administration "The Empire Strikes Back." Fitts explains, "Number one, Trump came into Washington with an agenda that
would really make America great again: tax reform, regulatory relief, infrastructure and Obama Care. Immediately, he got bogged down in those for a variety of reasons. If you look at Congress's constituents, they can't make money solving those things, particularly if it helps regular people. So, immediately you bog down on those issues. He's trying to get his cabinet in place. In the meantime, you have the Empire worried about a variety of things. If you want to slow Donald Trump down or make sure the only thing he can get through Congress are things that are good for what I call the "piggies," . . . the first thing you do is take out their loyal lieutenants. You take them out and try to put space between him and his lieutenants."
Fitts, who was an Assistant Secretary of Housing in the first Bush (41) Administration, goes on to say, "The U.S. bureaucracy is huge and very complex, and it's a matrix structure. The thing you want to do is bollocks him up in the structure. The reason you want to bollocks with a bureaucracy or the courts is then you bring everything into the mud and complicate their lives and make things harder to do. . . . What you are seeing is a war between the 'piggies' and 'Titanic Turners.' The big question is can Trump learn how to play the game."
How does Trump win? Fitts contends, "Trump wins by staying focused on the real issues. The U.S. economy needs a variety of things, including turning the federal budget around. . . . . The reality is the federal budget has a negative return to taxpayers. It's got to be turned positive. . . . That comes down to tax reform, infrastructure and it comes down to Obama Care. . . . Trump is the Titanic Turner, and he needs to stick to the big issues. . . . He has to make sure the shriek-o- meter does not destroy his top lieutenants and put space between him and them. Otherwise, the pigs are going to step in and run things."
In closing, Fitts says, "What's killing this economy is corruption and lawlessness. That's what's killing the economy. We need to deal with these problems."

No, sorry, it comes down to the obscenely bloated (which is not an adequate adjective, there is no adequate adjective for what is the largest waste of money in human history) US military budget.
Fitts is completely full of shitts, it's really quite simple and works like magic:
Stop spending trillions of billions of dollars building complex machinery to rain hell & horrifically murderous destruction on innocent people all over Planet Earth, and suddenly we have more than enough money to pay for education, health care, infrastructure...you name it.
Why is this Fitts trollop posted here on SOTT, and why are people agreeing with it?
Are we all really that stupid?
Think, people, think.
Your solution is like saying, We just need to stop murderers from murdering... it's simple. Yeah, right. So how do you propose to do that? You have no solution for that, just like you have no way of convincing the elite in power to stop doing exactly what they want to do - spend all the money on weapons. It doesn't happen accidentally. It happens because they want it to happen. We all know it "should" be changed, but neither you, nor Fitts, nor Trump "can".
Fitts is not stupid. She can tell the difference between what's realistic and what isn't. Saying "we should do this" when you have no clue how to do it is not all that helpful. Another example is that we all know the FED should be abolished, but nobody has the power to do it. Fighting a host of billionaires is not really as "simple" as you suggest. We can sit here all day and complain how the FED and the military-industrial complex are destroying everything, but that won't change anything.
