Former investment banker and Bush administration official Catherine Austin Fitts sits down with Breeauna Sagdal, Senior Policy Fellow at The Beef Initiative, for a sobering look at the systems tightening around us—from programmable money and land consolidation to the collapse of U.S. food security.

Fitts draws a direct line between Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the erosion of bodily autonomy, and the engineered destruction of decentralized agriculture. What emerges is a clear thesis: control the money, control the food, and you control the people.

This interview unpacks the economic doctrine behind globalization, the psychological operations behind consumer complacency, and why families must reclaim sovereignty—starting with the dinner plate.

Watch now to understand the financial, political, and spiritual war unfolding across America’s heartland.

In this week’s episode of Beef Maps X Spaces, RS “Ruffshot” June and Ranch Mama Shannon take us deep into the hidden costs of imported beef, the USDA’s chokehold on small producers, and the monopoly that’s rigging the price of your steak. From the true meaning of “grass-fed” to why American beef is rejected abroad, this is a raw look at the real barriers keeping ranchers out—and cheap, chemical-soaked meat in.

Hear how Golden Ratio, Beck Ranch, and other family farms are fighting back—not with lobbyists, but with BeefMaps.com. It’s not just about beef—it’s about shaking your ranchers hand, and bypassing every corporate tollbooth along the way.

Key Topics

• Why 85% of beef on US shelves isn’t truly American
• What other countries know about US beef that we ignore
• The truth behind “grass-fed” and “organic” labels
• How ranchers like Jesse at Golden Ratio are selling direct
• Why BeefMaps.com is disrupting the cattle cartel

Quote

“Next time you see someone claiming decentralization, ask them if you can skip them and go straight to the rancher. Watch what they say.” — RS “Ruffshot” June​

JZ Meats, Rattlesnake Meats, Miller Bison, and Legacy Ranch talk openly about the struggles of ranch life, the shift away from sale barns, and the new relationships being built through BeefMaps.com.

You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of purpose, clarity, and hunger for change.

Key Topics Covered

This week’s Beef Maps X Spaces hit a powerful stride as producers, policy leaders, and platform builders united around a shared mission: decentralizing beef. From ranches in Colorado, Illinois, and Kansas to the policy trenches in South Dakota, the call captured real voices driving real change.

Ranch Mama Shanen and RS “Ruffshot” June hosted the discussion, joined by Joe and Jenny of JZ Meats, Sawyer of Legacy Ranch, Marcy and Matt of Rattlesnake Meats, Anthony Miller of Miller Bison, and Breeauna Sagdal of the I Am Texas Slim Foundation. Together, they mapped out a path away from the Big Four and toward sovereign, local beef—backed by boots-on-the-ground work and a radically different vision of what food should be.

Whether it’s smoked chuck roast, clean burger, or bison short ribs, these producers are redefining what “know your food” really means.

Key Topics

• Decentralized food, policy, and tech: the triple-threat model
• How direct sales are saving multigenerational ranches
• South Dakota’s battle against lab-grown meat and USDA bloat
• The Beef Cartel vs. the Cowboy Sandwich
• The rise of bison snacks and regenerative buffalo
• Ground beef as the gateway to food freedom

In this episode of Mommy Heal Thyself, Dr. Michelle Gamble sits down with RS "Ruffshot" June, creative strategist for The Beef Initiative and executive producer of the Beef Maps Docuseries.

Growing up in Philadelphia—far from cattle country—June never imagined he’d find himself in the beef industry.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• The Food System & Trauma: How corporate control over food leads to malnutrition and disease.
• Community-Supported Beef: The power of local rancher-consumer relationships.
• The Beef Initiative’s Mission: Why decentralized food and small-scale processing centers are the key to saving American farms.
• Beef as Medicine: How nutrient-dense, regenerative beef can transform health.
• Solving the Opioid Epidemic? Why gut health and quality beef may be part of the answer.
• Bridging the Gap: How city dwellers can reconnect with local food sources—and why they must.

💡 “We’re not here to fight Big Ag. We’re here to build better relationships, better science, and stronger communities.” — RS June

What if the food you eat and the health you build weren’t controlled by corporate giants? Texas Slim, RS "Ruffshot" June, and Breeauna Sagdal join Dr. Kat Lindley to break down the growing battle between sovereign food systems and top-down, globalist control over agriculture.

This episode exposes the One Health Framework, a centralized system backed by the WHO and Bill Gates that seeks to merge agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and environmental policy into a singular framework. The alternative? The Sovereign Health Framework—a decentralized, rancher-led revolution prioritizing direct-to-consumer beef, regenerative farming, and community-funded research.

Key Topics:

• The decline of family farms and the rise of Big Ag monopolies.
• Why most grocery store beef isn’t American—and how labeling laws deceive consumers.
• Montana’s HB418 & state-level fights against mRNA in livestock.
• How Bitcoin and Beef Maps are creating a parallel economy for ranchers.
• Why shaking your rancher’s hand is the real solution to food sovereignty.

Let’s get to it.

Ranchers are raising the alarm—and fighting back. This episode captures a crucial discussion with leading cattle advocates Texas Slim, Brett Kenzy, RanchMama Shanen, and Jeff Forrester, as they confront the growing threats facing America’s independent beef producers.

From RFID mandates that track every cow to Beef Checkoff dollars funding the very lobbyists fighting against ranchers, this conversation pulls no punches. Panelists expose how multinational packers like JBS, Tyson, and Cargill control over 80% of U.S. beef processing—squeezing out small producers and deceiving consumers with imported beef labeled as “Product of the USA.”

But the future isn’t hopeless. Solutions like BeefMaps.com and SaveBeef.org are cutting through the corporate grip, helping families find rancher-direct beef and putting power back into the hands of both producers and consumers.

Listeners will hear firsthand accounts from the frontlines of this fight, learn why the return of Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) is critical, and find out how they can support the ranchers working to protect America’s food supply.

Quote from Brett Kenzy:
"The fight isn’t just about ranchers—it’s about every family that deserves to know what’s on their plate."

Episode Title: Beef, Bitcoin, and the Battle for Food Sovereignty – Live with MrWagmi and The Beef Initiative

Description:

In this powerful X Space hosted by @MrWagmiLive, Texas Slim, June, and key members of The Beef Initiative dive deep into the fight to reclaim America’s beef industry—powered by Bitcoin and grassroots action.

Texas Slim shares his journey from the dirt roads of West Texas to building a decentralized beef supply chain. June reflects on their 64-day road trip across America, revealing that “30 minutes off any highway is cattle country,” but you’ll need a peer-to-peer relationship to get there.

Key highlights include:

• How Cole Bolton became the first rancher to earn a full Bitcoin selling beef—then reinvested it to expand his herd, outside the grip of banks and federal subsidies.
• The rise of BeefMaps.com, an open-source map connecting consumers directly with ranchers worldwide—soon expanding into Norway and Canada.
• The looming threat of carbon credits, CBDCs, and digital surveillance targeting farmers—and how Bitcoin, layer-two solutions, and privacy-focused tech can shield ranchers.
• The Strategic Beef Reserve Vision—building community-based beef reserves to defend against the collapse of the multinational supply chain.
• An open call to developers, builders, and innovators: Help build decentralized finance tools, herd tokenization, and privacy layers to safeguard independent agriculture.SaveBeef.org is the hub for partnerships.

Quote from RS June:

"67 years until the last family farm is gone. We don’t have time to wait—we build now."

Guests:

• Texas Slim (Founder, The Beef Initiative)
• June (Creative Strategist, The Beef Initiative)
• Jeff Forrester (Mayor of Wylie, TX – Partnerships Lead)
• Steve Williams (Better Fed Foods – Regenerative Inputs Specialist)
