Financial Rebellion — The Digital Control Grid: How You Can Fight Back. Host: Polly Tommey. Guests: Catherine Austin Fitts, Carolyn Betts, Esq., Reinette Senum (12/11/25, video 01:05:57 includes transcript and many resource links)
live.childrenshealthdef…
The digital control grid is clamping down on us faster than anyone could imagine, many thanks to the current Congress and administration.
If people don’t oppose this — especially at the local level — elected officials will lose all their power and so will We the People.
Show guests offer many tips for action and activism, though many will overwhelm the typical person trying to stay above the waters of everyday life.
However, the best things that anyone can do are not difficult or time consuming, though they require some discipline:
USE CASH AND COINS!
Use dumb flip phones and secure email that doesn’t sell you as the product (like gmail, yahoo, etc.)
Unplug from WiFi, cell phones, etc. as much as possible.
Get big companies out of your lives and investment portfolios.
Get informed and share information.
Contact your public officials and let them know what’s happening.

Transcript Summary (Grok ai, edited)
The discussion covers:
Headlines on central bank digital currency (CBDC), digital IDs, religious exemptions, COVID vaccines, and cell tower legislation.
Opposing the digital control grid of programmable money, digital IDs, and local infrastructure takeovers.
Urgency, health impacts, surveillance, and actionable steps including petitions, local engagement, reducing EMF exposure, and financial disengagement from supporting entities.
HEADLINES AND KEY STORIES
📌 CBDC Amendment in NDAA: A congressman's amendment to ban CBDC in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was rejected after Speaker Johnson reneged on a promise. This leaves options open for CBDC implementation, linked to programmable money and control grid elements like digital IDs and local hardware infrastructure.
📌 Australia Social Media Age Limit: Australia enforces a social media age limit of 16 with fines up to $33 million, using biometrics for verification. This prototypes control grid measures under the guise of protecting children and creates insecure databases. Beware of similar legislation in your own local, state, and federal levels.
📌 Canada-EU Digital ID Deal: Canada signs agreement with the EU for interoperable digital IDs across borders. Promotes global central control.
📌 Digital Control Grid Collection: Current administration is building the control grid. Fast implementation indicates pre-inauguration planning.
📌 Supreme Court on Religious Exemptions: US Supreme Court remands case to Second Circuit, requiring respect for religious exemptions from vaccines. Expected to influence states like California.
📌 CHD Petition to FDA: Children's Health Defense files petition to revoke licenses for Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Make public comments via a link in show notes (or use this link to learn more and to comment: tinyurl.com/53njbj3w).
📌 Opposition to Cell Tower Bills: Contact your Congressman to reject six telecom bills, including HR 2289 (American Broadband Deployment Act), which eliminate local control over cell towers, notifications, setbacks, environmental reviews, and historic preservation. Bills passed subcommittee and head to full committee. Tips from subcommittee call to action in this Substack Note: tinyurl.com/9xebs5xr
DISCUSSION WITH REINETTE SENUM
Senum discusses FCC proposed rule changes and mirroring congressional bills that destroy local authority on cell towers and infrastructure.
FCC rules would allow unlimited cell towers, antennas, and cables on sidewalks, streets, buildings, every 400 feet or less, ignoring fall zones, churches, parks, schools, hospitals.
Bills like HR 2289 prioritize big industry over local zoning, water, land rights, environmental concerns, indigenous sites, and cultural heritage.
Ignores 2021 court order (Environmental Health Trust vs. FCC) to update 1996 Telecommunications Act based on outdated studies.
Public comment period for FCC rules until December 30, 2025, with 15-day response period after; urges hundreds of thousands of comments.
Senate hearing on December 17, 2025, at 10 a.m. Eastern for FCC oversight; contact Senator Ted Cruz to stop bills.
Consequences of inaction: Opens communities to big business, overrides zoning, prioritizes industry for water and land, no notifications.
Links to control grid: Infrastructure enables surveillance, programmable money, health effects from EMF radiation (worse for children, unborn, pollinators, wildlife).
Bait-and-switch: Surcharges paid for hardwired broadband, but shifted to wireless 4G/5G; FCC regs involve ripping out copper wiring.
Health and surveillance: Combines with 6G for surveillance; documented neuro warfare via wireless tech.
PERSONAL AND HOME ACTIONS
Steps to reduce exposure and disengage.
Turn off modems when not in use, especially at night; use wired connections if possible, or buy modems allowing wireless shutoff.
Use EMF shielding; hire EMF experts for home reviews, especially for homes with autistic children.
Seek non-tracking phones and services not from AT&T or Verizon.
Model changes: Extract yourself from digital systems, stop feeding companies building the grid.
LOCAL AND COMMUNITY STRATEGIES
Emphasis on local engagement to stop infrastructure.
Attend city council, township meetings; more people pressures officials.
Conduct SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) for community, household, or group, focusing on AI data centers.
Map financing: Identify investors, local money-makers; shift financing chains, expose conflicts (e.g., pension funds, 401Ks).
File FOIAs/public records requests for communications; befriend insiders for info.
Play good cop/bad cop: Provide friendly info while applying pressure.
Community examples:
Stopped data centers.
Opposed “Flock” cameras (license plate readers) by canceling police contracts.
Surveillance ubiquity:
Flock data sold to third parties.
Ring cameras collect biometrics, audio
Waste Management's Third Eye cameras scan trash/recyclables, storing data (pilot with NSA),
Drones used by police, utilities, insurance companies.
BROADER TACTICS AND RESOLUSIONS
Shun and boycott companies; reference Lysistrata story of women withholding sex to stop wars. (Grokipedia description: tinyurl.com/2b3m2npj)
Extract yourself from the "beast": Stop giving energy to digital systems and corporations, model changes for others.
2026 resolution: Extract from digital tentacles.
