![CBS’s Weijia Jiang Jiang at the #WHCD on her upbringing in rural WV: “I’ve been thinking a lot about my own journey to this podium tonight. I grew up in rural West Virginia, in a town at the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, a town called Buchanan, Population 5,500. Those images of the devastating floods that you’ve been seeing are from my hometown. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with everybody there. After my dad finished grad school at WVU, where he properly learned how to say let’s go Mountaineers, my parents decided to stay in the state to open a restaurant. It was such a treat when hunters came in and left deer meat as a tip. On Sundays after church, families packed into the dining room, all dressed up. My mom learned every customer’s name, their favorite dishes. I worked the cash register, topped off glasses of sweet tea and did my homework in the corner booth. A day like that seemed ordinary at the time. Looking back to think that days like that could be considered ordinary. It’s the most powerful reminder of how extraordinary America is. My dad came to the U.S. as a student with just 67 bucks, or as Frankie might say, 6-7. My mom holding a small suitcase on one hand and a toddler me with the other, yet they built a new life, a successful business, and a real future.” “Our Chinese restaurant was the first in my town. Of those 5,500 residents, the Chinese American population of Buchanan was 3. My mom, my dad, and me. Growing up there was not always easy. Most folks had never laid eyes on people who looked like my family, but far more often than not, the community was welcoming and generous. Turns out deer meat is great in a stir fry. In Mandarin, the word for America is Měiguó. It literally means beautiful country, and I love that. America the Beautiful was never only about her landscapes or landmarks. It has always been about the promise that, no matter where you come from, you get a shot at chasing your dreams. My dreams began right there in that family restaurant, a small TV in the back was often turned to the news, my dad’s go-to for learning more English. In the middle of dinner service, it was the CBS Evening News anchored by Dan Rather and Connie Chung. I was hooked. In middle school, I won a contest to be a student reporter for a national news show called Channel One. And when a local news crew came to cover it, they learned just how big my dreams really were.” [Middle school Weijia: I hope to be the next Connie Chang and better, that’s kind of hard, but that’s my goal. And so, I’m going to work very hard at trying to be a broadcast journalist.] “30 years later, it’s surreal to say that I’ve sat in Connie Chung’s old chair to fill in on the evening news, and Connie and I have talked about how the White House beat and the White House Correspondents’ Association used to be a little boy, bit of a boys club. For decades, women could be members, but they were not invited to sit at this dinner until 1962 when a woman who would become dean of the press corps insisted. Thank you, Mrs. Helen Thomas. So, tonight, it means everything to stand here is the first woman of color ever elected president of this association in its 112-year history. I’m here because of the tenacious women who came before me, Melissa, Susan, and support from my family who are with us tonight. My husband Luther, not from West Virginia, but Arkansas, similar enough. My amazing daughter Frankie. little brother Jack, who’s should be sleeping by now. I love you more than anything in the world. I love you the most. My parents came to a country with almost nothing to give their daughter everything, and now I have that because they could be with me in this moment. Mama baba shisha. And sitting with them, my middle school video production teacher, Mrs. Diane Williams, who spent countless hours on my submission for that contest. that changed my life. Like public school teachers across the United States, Mrs. Williams looked at a 13-year-old kid and said, you can be whatever you want when you grow up, and she meant it. My story is like that of so many in this room and in this country, only in America. Only in America could a little girl born in China and raised in Appalachian coal country make her way to the Oval Office to ask questions of the President of the United States.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2080835696453963952/amplify_video_thumb/2080835499954999296/img/EqECtfiErqV54uo2.jpg)
![Former Assistant Secretary of HUD Catherine Austin Fitts describes how the U.S. government stole $50 trillion of taxpayer money, used Epstein to launder it, and then poisoned Americans to shorten their lifespans: "We hit the Great Financial Crisis, and then we have $29 trillion of bailouts. So we had $21 trillion of missing money from the US government, and now we have $29 trillion in bailouts. That's $50 trillion. Okay? So we're talking about putting the United States in a debt trap, and somebody walks off with $50 trillion... "[And] Jeffrey Epstein made his first visit to the Clinton White House arranged by Bob Rubin, who was the Secretary of Treasury when the money started to go missing. Okay? And at the time he was national economic adviser. [So] I believe Jeffrey Epstein ran the SWIFT system on the missing money, is my guess what he was up to. And... the sex was just part of creating related control files that they used." This clip of Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), and combat correspondent Michael Yon (Michael Yon: Callsign BIG HONEY), as well as journalist Masako Ganaha (我那覇真子 Masako Ganaha), is taken from a video posted to Yon's eponymous YouTube channel on February 16, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "And it's important to understand that we're not talking, I mean on one hand we're talking about a financial coup. So let me show you our. I just made a new chart on what I call the financial coup because I want to put a little history to this thing. "And we went through this the other night, you know, what happened in the mid-90s. We, had at the end of the, all the fraud during the '80s, we had a big reform effort and one of, part of the reform, and I know because I wrote it was, it was basically a series of reforms we instituted at HUD and then helped OMB take them government wide. "But it required the covered agencies, the top 24 agencies, to produce audited financial statements. So a process began where the government started to confess that they couldn't produce audited financial statements, but they would explain what their undocumentable adjustments were, which was transactions that weren't documented, that weren't, you know, that made it impossible for them to produce financial statements. "The people who ran the financial system tried to come up with a plan to balance the budget, including the retirement, you know, Social Security and retirement. And that led to a big bust up in 1995 when the budget deal cratered. And this event was, or this period was described to me by one of the largest pension fund guys in the country. He said, they've given up on the country. They're moving all the money out, starting this fall. "He told me that in April '96. And that's when enormous amounts of money started to disappear from the federal government. So you're increasing the debt and then money's disappearing out the back door. So think of the treasury as a laundry device that's sucking money. You know, the treasury gives bonds to the pension funds, gets money, the money disappears out the back door. "Now the taxpayers are liable to the pension funds. It's just a laundry device, okay? Anyway, so if you look at this chart, what you'll see is by 9/11 there was, you know, trillions of dollars missing from HUD and DOD. DOD is the big one. "And, in fact, Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense, stood up and said, you know, the DOD is missing $2.3 trillion. It's worse than terrorism. It's a greater national security threat than terrorism. Of course we know what happened with 9/11, the Patriot Act passes. But money keeps going missing until finally in 2015, $6.5 trillion was missing. "And Dr. Mark Skidmore, who's a budget expert professor at MSU heard me talking about it and said, 'Oh, she has to be wrong. That's impossible. The army can't be missing many multiples of its budget one year.' "Well, actually, if you look at how the federal credit is managed, can be. And and so he called me, he went to the financial statements and discovered I was right and he called me. And as a result he did a complete survey that was finished in 2017. And he and his students, I had the number up to $12 trillion missing. He found another $9 trillion "And so $21 trillion as of 2017, guess what the outstanding debt of the United States was when he published his report? $21 trillion. So imagine, you know, if you think it's a scam, we use debt to issue the currency, when we could just issue the currency without debt. It's really a scam when the money you raise with the debt disappears out the back door. "[And] it's a no-brainer. All you have to do is issue $21 trillion in treasuries and you finance it. And then you steal it. "So, if you go back to this chart, in 1993, Jeffrey Epstein made his first visit to the Clinton White House arranged by Bob Rubin, who was the Secretary of Treasury when the money started go missing. Okay? And at the time he was national economic adviser. I believe Jeffrey Epstein ran the SWIFT system on the missing money, is my guess what he was up to. And the, you know, the sex was just part of creating related control files that they used. "But in 1995, 1994, the New York Fed and the Fed, which had been members of the BIS from the beginning, had taken the position that being a shareholder was conflict of interest. And they reversed that position in 1994. They bought shares in the BIS. And, you know, my guess, this is a guess, I think, you know, the BIS has sovereign immunity and can move money and hold it on its balance sheet behind, in secrecy, behind sovereign immunity. "And I think the perfect way to launder this money would have been through Fed to the BIS is my guess. But there are thousands. If you look at the ways that they could have laundered this money out, it's like the joy of cooking. There are hundreds of recipes. "And with $21 trillion, you'd need many different ways. For example, my guess is Enron was one of the Laundromats. But I think also if you look at the, money disappearing, then suddenly you have all these sovereign nations around the world who are making huge donations to the Clinton Foundation. And my question is, did that money just get pulled out of HUD, moved through the BIS, over to Norway, and they just give it back? "Okay, so anyway, whatever. We hit the Great Financial Crisis, and then we have $29 trillion of bailouts. So we had $21 trillion of missing money from the US government, and now we have $29 trillion in bailouts. That's $50 trillion. Okay? So we're talking about putting the United States in a debt trap, and somebody walks off with $50 trillion. "Now there are many. You know, we could have a long conversation about where that money might have gone. But one of the things to understand is coming into 2019 in the pandemic because you have, instead of putting the retirement systems on a stable foot, you've decided instead you're going to give up on the country and you're going to take the money and run. It's like a bank robbery. "But now the retirement systems are coming due. What are you going to do? And it's pretty clear what happened next. The first thing they did was they got rid of Epstein. That's the second thing they did was they reviewed the Going Direct Reset, and they started into a reset, a central banking reset. And that reset dramatically lowered life expectancy, which had been dropping ever since 1997 when the financial coup started. "But this is all part of, you put the government in a debt trap. You've moved all the money out someplace else, and those assets and that money is someplace else. So now the government doesn't have the assets it's got, you know, but it owes the debt. You now have it in a debt trap. And now essentially what you do is you turn around to the population, say there's no money, but you weaken the population dramatically and you start depopulating, right?"](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2025248808209469545/amplify_video_thumb/2025240307596763136/img/MXbD2sb699-UBxKa.jpg)
