No Escape from the Global Agenda: Fight Locally or Lose Everything

In this Solari Report interview, Catherine Austin Fitts speaks with Dutch researcher Elze van Hamelen about her new report, “Mr. Global in Your Street.” They argue that global policy agendas—originating from UN treaties and trickling down through national, state, and local governments—are reshaping everyday life, from farming and fishing to 15-minute cities, while many in the freedom movement mistakenly try to flee abroad. Fitts and van Hamelen stress there is no true escape, as the control grid is being implemented everywhere, and running away often leads to dead ends, honey traps, or diminished effectiveness. Instead, they advocate staying in one’s own country, engaging in local politics and financial systems—the “third rail” of power—and organizing with like-minded people to push back effectively at the community level, where democracy still has the best chance to work.
