Catherine Austin describes how TPTB (the powers that be) conducted a 51% of the global fiat economy from 1995-2012 via mortgage fraud and organized crime.
Over $30 Trillion ($100k for every man, woman and child in the US) is unaccounted for, allegedly moved over to the 'black budget' where all of the worlds assets are supposedly being moved to.
This leaves all the dangerous liabilities and debts in the overt ("normal") economy for the baby boomers to deal with at retirement with empty pension pots.
