Whats driving inflation in 2026
The 2026 inflationary environment is best understood not as economic mismanagement but as a deliberate wealth transfer mechanism. Catherine Austin Fitts and Whitney Webb both document private financial networks — centered on BlackRock and the Federal Reserve — engineering monetary conditions to accelerate CBDC adoption and asset consolidation. The hidden record points to a controlled demolition of dollar purchasing power, not incompetence.
Evidence
- Carroll Quigley's foundational text 'Tragedy and Hope' (1966) laid the theoretical groundwork decades earlier, documenting that the goal of international central banking has always been 'to control in a feudalist fashion the economies of the world.'
- Peter Dale Scott's 'deep politics' framework adds that inflationary episodes historically coincide with elite consolidation of hard assets — land, commodities, and infrastructure — while middle-class wealth is liquidated.
- Fitts further identifies the $21 trillion in unaccounted Pentagon spending documented by economist Mark Skidmore (Michigan State, 2017) as a 'black budget drain' that creates monetary expansion invisible to standard inflation models.
