[00:01] Whatever is signed with Iran marks the new world order.
  Tout ce qui est signé avec l'Iran marque le nouvel ordre mondial.

[00:07] Who invests?
  Qui investit ?

[00:07] Who rebuilds?
  Qui reconstruit ?

[00:09] What happens with the straight of FormE?
  Qu'advient-il du détroit de FormE ?

[00:12] Um what happens to Israel and then obviously what happens in Ukraine um Russia and what happens to um Taiwan and China.
  Euh, qu'advient-il d'Israël et ensuite évidemment ce qui se passe en Ukraine euh Russie et ce qui se passe euh avec Taïwan et la Chine.

[00:21] And I think those have all been agreed and we're moving towards it with bounded escalations in order to try and get more leverage in in these big big changes.
  Et je pense que tout cela a été convenu et nous nous en approchons avec des escalades limitées afin d'essayer d'obtenir plus de levier dans ces grands grands changements.

[00:38] Hello everyone, welcome to this off-the-cuff podcast.
  Bonjour à tous, bienvenue dans ce podcast improvisé.

[00:41] I am your host Chris Martinson and today we're going to be talking with Simon Dixon.
  Je suis votre hôte Chris Martinson et aujourd'hui nous allons parler avec Simon Dixon.

[00:45] He is the CEO and co-founder of Bank to the Future.
  Il est le PDG et co-fondateur de Bank to the Future.

[00:48] We're going to be discussing what's happening in Iran, what the big picture is.
  Nous allons discuter de ce qui se passe en Iran, de ce qu'est la vue d'ensemble.

[00:52] You know me, I'm always trying to find out the big toe, the theory of everything.
  Vous me connaissez, j'essaie toujours de trouver le gros orteil, la théorie du tout.

[00:57] So, what is the big toe?
  Alors, quel est le gros orteil ?

[00:58] You know, we're all groping around trying to find it.
  Vous savez, nous tâtonnons tous pour le trouver.

[00:58] My listeners have asked and
  Mes auditeurs ont demandé et

[01:01] Repeatedly asked, could I get Simon back on?
  Demandé à plusieurs reprises, pourrais-je récupérer Simon au téléphone ?

[01:03] And so, I'm very pleased to have him back on.
  Et donc, je suis très heureux de l'avoir de retour.

[01:05] Simon, welcome to the program.
  Simon, bienvenue dans l'émission.

[01:08] Uh, thanks so much for having me back.
  Euh, merci beaucoup de me recevoir à nouveau.

[01:09] I had, um, a real real good feedback on the first one.
  J'ai eu, euh, un très très bon retour sur le premier.

[01:13] So, uh, look forward to seeing what we can discuss.
  Donc, euh, j'ai hâte de voir ce que nous pouvons discuter.

[01:15] Well, fantastic.
  Eh bien, fantastique.

[01:19] So last time, um, I, you know, I think where we left it, uh, and there's a part I want to get into ultimately, which is like, well, what do, given all this that we're about to talk about in the front half, what do you do right? And so we kind of left a little cliffhanger. People want to know what, what do, what specifically are you doing given all this, right? Um, and uh, I have a community of people that are, we want to be resilient, create buffers in our lives for, create a little distance from whatever might come now. Given that last time we talked, though, we, you were on the thread that there's this huge behind-the-scenes GCC realignment happening all around the Gulf, and um, I just love to get your perspective on it now, 'cause at the time of this recording, I think just yesterday, just last night, the United States resumed bombing Iran. They
  Alors la dernière fois, euh, je, tu sais, je pense où nous en étions, euh, et il y a une partie dans laquelle je veux entrer finalement, qui est comme, eh bien, que faire, étant donné tout cela dont nous allons parler dans la première moitié, que fais-tu de bien ? Et donc nous avons laissé un petit suspense. Les gens veulent savoir quoi, que faire, que fais-tu spécifiquement étant donné tout cela, n'est-ce pas ? Euh, et euh, j'ai une communauté de personnes qui sont, nous voulons être résilients, créer des tampons dans nos vies pour, créer un peu de distance par rapport à tout ce qui pourrait arriver maintenant. Étant donné que la dernière fois que nous avons parlé, cependant, nous, tu étais au courant qu'il y a ce énorme réalignement du CCG en coulisses qui se produit partout dans le Golfe, et euh, j'aimerais juste avoir ton point de vue maintenant, car au moment de cet enregistrement, je pense que juste hier, juste la nuit dernière, les États-Unis ont repris les bombardements sur l'Iran. Ils

[02:03] Did a little tit for tat who even knows what's really happening the straight of Hamoose effectively is closed again today with almost no ship crossings.
  A fait un peu de donnant-donnant, qui sait même ce qui se passe vraiment, le détroit de Hamoose est effectivement fermé à nouveau aujourd'hui avec presque aucun passage de navires.

[02:11] What's going on have you changed or added to or fortified uh how you see things unfolding.
  Que se passe-t-il, avez-vous changé ou ajouté ou renforcé euh comment vous voyez les choses se dérouler.

[02:18] Yeah, I'm kind of at the stage where um I ignore the the noise.
  Ouais, je suis un peu au stade où euh j'ignore le bruit.

[02:22] Um I think it's very theatrical with bounded escalations.
  Euh je pense que c'est très théâtral avec des escalades limitées.

[02:28] So you you of you know you get these moments where they try and trick us back in again into thinking that the world's over um and we're headed to World War II or the deal's off or um Trump is blackmailed and therefore Israel's forcing him to do you know everyone's got their own narrative at this stage like Trump is either playing 5D chess or Iran has decisive has had a decisive victory or Israel rules the world and is forcing Trump to do something uh and everyone just sits in their narrative right now.
  Donc vous, vous savez, vous avez ces moments où ils essaient de nous piéger à nouveau pour nous faire croire que le monde est fini euh et que nous nous dirigeons vers la Seconde Guerre mondiale ou que l'accord est annulé ou euh que Trump est victime de chantage et donc Israël le force à faire, vous savez, tout le monde a son propre récit à ce stade, comme Trump joue soit aux échecs en 5D, soit l'Iran a une victoire décisive, a eu une victoire décisive, soit Israël domine le monde et force Trump à faire quelque chose euh et tout le monde reste dans son récit en ce moment.

[03:01] Um what I
  Euh ce que je

[03:04] I believe is happening in my narrative um based upon markets is that this was never a war um that was going to exceed bounded escalations.
  Je crois que ce qui se passe dans mon récit, basé sur les marchés, c'est que cela n'a jamais été une guerre qui allait dépasser des escalades limitées.

[03:18] Um every time that Trump tacked it was decisively around the bond market.
  Euh, chaque fois que Trump a changé de cap, c'était de manière décisive autour du marché obligataire.

[03:24] And so whenever the 30-year yield hit um above 5%, which we're back at now, um you ended up with a taco Tuesday, some market manipulation um and a whole load of talks around we're not negotiating and then everyone comes and sits at the table and negotiates.
  Et donc chaque fois que le rendement à 30 ans atteignait euh au-dessus de 5 %, ce qui est de nouveau le cas maintenant, euh on se retrouvait avec un taco Tuesday, une certaine manipulation du marché euh et tout un tas de discussions autour de « nous ne négocions pas », puis tout le monde vient s'asseoir à la table et négocie.

[03:44] Um the reason for that is because I believe that um no one wins from escalation if you look at all the different parties around the table and the new world order which I was the long-term thesis that I think was happening has really been set and there's no reversing that trend.
  Euh la raison en est que je crois que euh personne ne gagne à l'escalade si vous regardez toutes les différentes parties autour de la table et le nouvel ordre mondial qui était la thèse à long terme que je pense se produisait a vraiment été établi et il n'y a pas de retour en arrière possible.

[04:02] Um and and as a reminder uh China normalized
  Euh et et pour rappel euh la Chine a normalisé

[04:06] Between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
  Entre l'Iran et l'Arabie saoudite.

[04:09] Um there was an alliance between the Gulf countries and BRICS.
  Euh, il y avait une alliance entre les pays du Golfe et les BRICS.

[04:15] And China is the number one purchaser of, you know, all of the energy from all the different parties in the region.
  Et la Chine est le premier acheteur, vous savez, de toute l'énergie de toutes les différentes parties de la région.

[04:22] Um and so therefore it has significant leverage over the different parties and I believe that there was a plan by factions of power on a transnational level, um, that wants regional stability in the Middle East.
  Euh, et donc elle a un levier important sur les différentes parties, et je crois qu'il y avait un plan de factions de pouvoir au niveau transnational, euh, qui veut la stabilité régionale au Moyen-Orient.

[04:35] Once the Middle East to become West Asia which is predominantly held together by China and Brit, um, and the rivalries that we see in the region are real but not quite as real as most people would have them believe in terms of narrative.
  Une fois que le Moyen-Orient deviendra l'Asie occidentale, qui est principalement maintenue ensemble par la Chine et la Grande-Bretagne, euh, et les rivalités que nous voyons dans la région sont réelles, mais pas aussi réelles que la plupart des gens voudraient le croire en termes de récit.

[04:57] And so I think that the Gulf countries and Iran and a faction of power within the private sector of America that I called the financial industrial complex, the FIK, all want
  Et donc je pense que les pays du Golfe, l'Iran et une faction de pouvoir au sein du secteur privé américain que j'appelle le complexe financier industriel, le FIK, veulent tous

[05:08] Regional stability.
  Stabilité régionale.

[05:10] And Iran at the end of this is going to need significant financing for all of its rebuild contracts.
  Et l'Iran, à la fin de cela, va avoir besoin d'un financement important pour tous ses contrats de reconstruction.

[05:17] And I believe that financing is going to come from the Gulf via this.
  Et je crois que ce financement viendra du Golfe via cela.

[05:21] We've had a hint at it a $300 billion fund, not reparations.
  Nous en avons eu un aperçu, un fonds de 300 milliards de dollars, pas des réparations.

[05:25] And a fund means ownership, equity, and regional stability through shared vested interests.
  Et un fonds signifie propriété, participation et stabilité régionale grâce à des intérêts communs.

[05:31] Um, and I believe China and, uh, you know, Belt and Road initiative will be part of that as well as Iran trying to get as much as it can from the deal by unfreezing sanction funds.
  Euh, et je crois que la Chine et, euh, vous savez, l'initiative de la Ceinture et de la Route en feront partie, ainsi que l'Iran essayant d'obtenir le plus possible de l'accord en dégelant les fonds sous sanctions.

[05:47] Um, having the removal of sanctions which would increase its revenue significantly but it would also bring a bunch of oil back onto the market.
  Euh, la levée des sanctions augmenterait considérablement ses revenus, mais cela ramènerait aussi beaucoup de pétrole sur le marché.

[05:58] Um, which is your area of expertise at this stage.
  Euh, ce qui est votre domaine d'expertise à ce stade.

[06:02] Um, but at the same time, um, there has been damage in Gulf that needs to be rebuilt but that's been really concentrated around US.
  Euh, mais en même temps, euh, il y a eu des dégâts dans le Golfe qui doivent être reconstruits, mais cela s'est vraiment concentré autour des États-Unis.

[06:09] Assets.
  Actifs.

[06:11] And so I look at the region today and I zoom out and I see Iran normalized with the Gulf countries.
  Et donc je regarde la région aujourd'hui, je prends du recul et je vois l'Iran normalisé avec les pays du Golfe.

[06:20] Um China that is the most important player in the region and a very convenient um the I got to be careful around this cuz I'm thinking about you know shared interests rather than conspiracy cuz people think of it as a conspiracy but when I see an operation that leads to the closure of the straight of Amuse which creates urgency that rhymes very much with the fall of the British Empire in the Sueis canal you know and that kind of Egyp Egypt moment um which sets everything re redefineses renegotiates force majour contracts reprices things manufactures a crisis which is a pattern we've seen time and time again and with every crisis you get concentration of power into fewer and fewer corporate.
  Euh la Chine qui est l'acteur le plus important de la région et un très pratique euh je dois faire attention à ça parce que je pense à vous savez des intérêts partagés plutôt qu'à une conspiration parce que les gens pensent que c'est une conspiration mais quand je vois une opération qui mène à la fermeture du détroit d'Amuse ce qui crée une urgence qui rime beaucoup avec la chute de l'Empire britannique dans le canal de Suez vous savez et ce genre de moment Égypte euh qui redéfinit tout renégocie les contrats de force majeure réévalue les choses fabrique une crise qui est un modèle que nous avons vu maintes et maintes fois et avec chaque crise vous obtenez une concentration du pouvoir entre de moins en moins d'entreprises.

[07:10] Interests, um, that's one operation.
  Intérêts, euh, c'est une opération.

[07:14] Then at the other side, you see convenient rebuild contracts that are going to happen in Iran and across the Gulf.
  Ensuite, de l'autre côté, vous voyez des contrats de reconstruction pratiques qui vont se produire en Iran et dans tout le Golfe.

[07:22] Um, and who invests in those rebuild contracts will set the world order.
  Euh, et qui investit dans ces contrats de reconstruction établira l'ordre mondial.

[07:27] And I do actually believe that there will be a toll on the Strait of Hormuz.
  Et je crois vraiment qu'il y aura un péage sur le détroit d'Ormuz.

[07:33] Um, now it won't be as bombastic as Iran controls everything.
  Euh, maintenant, ce ne sera pas aussi pompeux que l'Iran contrôle tout.

[07:37] Um, it will be a partnership with Oman and also the vested interests across the Gulf.
  Euh, ce sera un partenariat avec Oman et aussi les intérêts acquis dans tout le Golfe.

[07:44] And so eventually we will see a structure.
  Et donc, finalement, nous verrons une structure.

[07:46] I don't know exactly what it looks like, but if you can charge on the Strait of Hormuz, then that questions every other strategic choke point.
  Je ne sais pas exactement à quoi cela ressemble, mais si vous pouvez facturer sur le détroit d'Ormuz, cela remet en question tous les autres points d'étranglement stratégiques.

[07:55] Um, and that changes the Bretton Woods world order with, you know, the American navy protecting the trade routes.
  Euh, et cela change l'ordre mondial de Bretton Woods avec, vous savez, la marine américaine protégeant les routes commerciales.

[08:04] And if you think about it, the free trade route was a function of the European and American Empire.
  Et si vous y réfléchissez, la route du libre-échange était une fonction de l'Empire européen et américain.

[08:10] It was not allowing countries to
  Cela ne permettait pas aux pays de

[08:13] Use their strategic choke points to exert leverage over the European and American Empire.
  Utilisent leurs points d'étranglement stratégiques pour exercer une pression sur l'Empire européen et américain.

[08:23] Um the same with OPEC.
  Hum, de même avec l'OPEP.

[08:23] Um OPEC if you go back to the 73 embargo and then you think about what was set up in 74-75 you had the assassination of King Fisizel.
  Hum, l'OPEP, si vous revenez à l'embargo de 73 et que vous pensez à ce qui a été mis en place en 74-75, vous avez eu l'assassinat du roi Fisizel.

[08:34] Um you had the petro dollar and you had OPEC which was set up to resist against the major the the seven major oil producers and companies across Europe and and America.
  Hum, vous avez eu le pétrodollar et vous avez eu l'OPEP qui a été créée pour résister aux grandes, aux sept grandes compagnies et producteurs de pétrole à travers l'Europe et l'Amérique.

[08:50] Um but what was the end result?
  Hum, mais quel a été le résultat final ?

[08:51] The end result was the petro dollar.
  Le résultat final a été le pétrodollar.

[08:53] And what is the petro dollar?
  Et qu'est-ce que le pétrodollar ?

[08:57] It is the pricing of oil in dollars.
  C'est le prix du pétrole en dollars.

[08:59] Now that's fine.
  Maintenant, c'est bien.

[08:59] You know, we can price oil in dollars continue to do that.
  Vous savez, nous pouvons fixer le prix du pétrole en dollars, continuer à faire cela.

[09:03] It's what you settle in that matters.
  C'est ce dans quoi vous réglez qui importe.

[09:05] And so more and more people have been settling in alternative currencies while pricing in dollars.
  Et ainsi de plus en plus de gens règlent en devises alternatives tout en fixant les prix en dollars.

[09:12] Um and then you take those dollars that
  Hum, et ensuite vous prenez ces dollars qui

[09:15] You sell your oil for.
  Vous vendez votre pétrole pour.

[09:17] If you settle in dollars and you purchase US treasuries and so by purchasing US treasuries, you enter the Federal Reserve system and then the Federal Reserve system produces a yield and that yield is then spent back into the US equity market to have contracts like with Loheed Martin, General Dynamic, Raium um and other companies that would then sell you weapons and put a base in your country.
  Si vous réglez en dollars et achetez des bons du Trésor américain, et ainsi en achetant des bons du Trésor américain, vous entrez dans le système de la Réserve fédérale, puis le système de la Réserve fédérale produit un rendement, et ce rendement est ensuite réinvesti sur le marché actions américain pour avoir des contrats comme avec Loheed Martin, General Dynamic, Raium euh et d'autres entreprises qui vous vendraient alors des armes et installeraient une base dans votre pays.

[09:45] So now we don't have necessarily the bases or a renegotiated base across the region.
  Donc maintenant nous n'avons pas nécessairement les bases ou une base renégociée dans toute la région.

[09:51] We have the Gulf countries that have been moving away from purchasing treasuries and more p purchasing equities and what comes with equities voting rights and control.
  Nous avons les pays du Golfe qui se sont éloignés de l'achat de bons du Trésor et plus vers l'achat d'actions et ce qui vient avec les actions, les droits de vote et le contrôle.

[10:04] What were the Gulf countries investing in over the years?
  Dans quoi les pays du Golfe investissaient-ils au fil des ans ?

[10:06] They were investing in AI and robotics infrastructure.
  Ils investissaient dans l'IA et l'infrastructure robotique.

[10:11] They were the they're the biggest investor in most of America's uh AI industry alongside Black
  Ils étaient ils sont le plus grand investisseur dans la plupart de l'industrie de l'IA américaine euh aux côtés de Black

[10:18] Rockck and other financial institutions.
  Rockck et d'autres institutions financières.

[10:20] Now, Black Rockck also um managed, you know, had the CEO of Saudi Aramco joined the board.
  Maintenant, Black Rockck gérait aussi, vous savez, avait le PDG de Saudi Aramco qui rejoignait le conseil d'administration.

[10:30] Um we also had significant investment in Texas from the refining company that was a subsidiary of Saudi Aramco.
  Euh, nous avions aussi un investissement significatif au Texas de la part de la société de raffinage qui était une filiale de Saudi Aramco.

[10:37] Um that also could do the refining of the Venezuelan oil.
  Euh, celle-ci pouvait aussi faire le raffinage du pétrole vénézuélien.

[10:44] Uh we also had um a significant buildout with Qatar leading up to this um around um uh the Golden Pass which was 70% owned by Qatar Energy, 30% owned by Exxon.
  Euh, nous avions aussi euh un développement significatif avec le Qatar menant à cela euh autour de euh le Golden Pass qui était détenu à 70% par Qatar Energy, à 30% par Exxon.

[10:57] Uh we had significant buildup of Chinese strategic petroleum reserves.
  Euh, nous avions une accumulation significative de réserves stratégiques de pétrole chinoises.

[11:02] Prior to this, uh, we had very convenient regime changes in both Syria and Venezuela.
  Avant cela, euh, nous avons eu des changements de régime très commodes en Syrie et au Venezuela.

[11:10] Uh, now both of those have Iranian interests, Chinese interests, Russian interests, and American interests.
  Euh, maintenant ces deux pays ont des intérêts iraniens, des intérêts chinois, des intérêts russes et des intérêts américains.

[11:15] Now, suddenly we got
  Maintenant, soudainement nous avons eu

[11:19] A regime change in Syria without much drama.
  Un changement de régime en Syrie sans grand drame.

[11:24] Um, that happens to be somebody deeply connected with the Gulf countries.
  Euh, il se trouve que c'est quelqu'un de profondément lié aux pays du Golfe.

[11:29] Most people frame him as an Israeli puppet because he used to be a member of ISIS, but actually he's um a Gulf country and Turkish funded.
  La plupart des gens le présentent comme une marionnette israélienne parce qu'il était autrefois membre de l'EI, mais en réalité il est, euh, financé par un pays du Golfe et la Turquie.

[11:38] I I consider him a placeholder to stabilize Syria um and get rebuild contracts from the Gulf countries.
  Je, je le considère comme un intérimaire pour stabiliser la Syrie, euh, et obtenir des contrats de reconstruction des pays du Golfe.

[11:47] Um we had the same in Venezuela like China was preparing, China was moving, Russia and Iran kind of stepped down and bowed down.
  Euh, nous avons eu la même chose au Venezuela, comme la Chine se préparait, la Chine agissait, la Russie et l'Iran ont en quelque sorte reculé et se sont inclinés.

[11:55] Um Maduro was regime changed and it looked very effortless and easy um prior to this.
  Euh, Maduro a subi un changement de régime et cela semblait très simple et facile, euh, avant cela.

[12:04] So we're seeing that the western hemisphere seems to be bounded around American interest and private corporate interest.
  Donc nous voyons que l'hémisphère occidental semble être circonscrit autour des intérêts américains et des intérêts des entreprises privées.

[12:12] We're seeing that China seems to be with the Gulf countries and bricks resolving issues that look very chaotic.
  Nous voyons que la Chine semble être avec les pays du Golfe et les BRICS en train de résoudre des problèmes qui semblent très chaotiques.

[12:19] That suggests a multipolar world.
  Cela suggère un monde multipolaire.

[12:22] We're also simultaneously seeing the removal of the foundation of the Japan carry trade as the Bank of Japan puts rates up.
  Nous assistons également simultanément à la suppression des fondements du carry trade japonais alors que la Banque du Japon augmente ses taux.

[12:33] We're also receiving tension in the Euro dollar market, the ability to create dollars outside the Federal Reserve system.
  Nous recevons également des tensions sur le marché de l'euro-dollar, la capacité de créer des dollars en dehors du système de la Réserve fédérale.

[12:42] Who got FX swap lines?
  Qui a obtenu des lignes de swap de change ?

[12:44] It was UAE.
  C'était les Émirats arabes unis.

[12:46] So UAE is a really interesting one to watch.
  Les Émirats arabes unis sont donc un acteur vraiment intéressant à surveiller.

[12:49] It gets strategic US bases destroyed.
  Il obtient la destruction de bases stratégiques américaines.

[12:53] It's got an agreement with Israel that allows it to purchase Israeli companies and assets in the Abraham Accords.
  Il a un accord avec Israël qui lui permet d'acheter des entreprises et des actifs israéliens dans le cadre des accords d'Abraham.

[13:03] It leaves OPEC, which is the other half of the pro dollar.
  Il quitte l'OPEP, qui est l'autre moitié du camp pro-dollar.

[13:08] And it also gets an FX swap line which allows it to deposit its own currency pegged to the dollar and create dollars in order to stabilize its regional system led by um you.
  Et il obtient également une ligne de swap de change qui lui permet de déposer sa propre devise arrimée au dollar et de créer des dollars afin de stabiliser son système régional dirigé par euh vous.

[13:20] Know a bunch of other Gulf countries that say um we'd like we'd probably like the same.
  Connais un tas d'autres pays du Golfe qui disent euh on aimerait on aimerait probablement la même chose.

[13:27] So this is the dismantling of the pro dollar.
  Donc c'est le démantèlement du pro dollar.

[13:29] At the same time, as Iran brings all that oil onto market at the moment, it can only sell it to China and it can sell it at a discount.
  En même temps, alors que l'Iran met tout ce pétrole sur le marché en ce moment, il ne peut le vendre qu'à la Chine et il peut le vendre à prix réduit.

[13:40] Now, it's not going to be at a discount if sanctions are removed, depending on the terms and the and the negotiation.
  Maintenant, ce ne sera pas à prix réduit si les sanctions sont levées, selon les termes et la et la négociation.

[13:46] And in what currency is it going to be priced in?
  Et dans quelle devise va-t-il être facturé ?

[13:48] Well, prior to this, Saudi put, you know, priced 30% of its oil in the pro yuan.
  Eh bien, avant cela, l'Arabie saoudite a, vous savez, facturé 30 % de son pétrole en pro yuan.

[13:54] Also the bank for international settlements left its project of a network of central bank digital currencies called Embridge.
  Aussi, la banque des règlements internationaux a quitté son projet de réseau de monnaies numériques de banque centrale appelé Embridge.

[14:04] And what was that project?
  Et quel était ce projet ?

[14:08] It actually connected the Gulf central bank digital currencies with the Chinese central bank digital currencies.
  Il connectait en fait les monnaies numériques de banque centrale du Golfe avec les monnaies numériques de banque centrale chinoises.

[14:15] Now we think of central bank digital currencies and I do as the individual level as surveillance and we covered that deeply on on our last uh
  Maintenant, nous pensons aux monnaies numériques de banque centrale et je le fais au niveau individuel comme de la surveillance, et nous avons couvert cela en profondeur lors de notre dernier euh

[14:22] Podcast um or our last interview rather.
  Podcast euh ou plutôt notre dernier entretien.

[14:26] Um but from this the nation level what does it do?
  Euh mais à partir de là, au niveau national, qu'est-ce que ça fait ?

[14:29] It allows you to circumvent swift and it allows you to operate outside the Federal Reserve system because it all clears on a blockchain.
  Cela vous permet de contourner Swift et de fonctionner en dehors du système de la Réserve fédérale, car tout se règle sur une blockchain.

[14:38] So what I think we're witnessing right now is the dismantlement in a managed transition by what I call the fick the financial industrial complex of US hegemonic power and financial power into a multipolar world order.
  Donc ce que je pense que nous observons actuellement, c'est le démantèlement, dans une transition contrôlée, par ce que j'appelle le complexe financier industriel de la puissance hégémonique et financière américaine, vers un ordre mondial multipolaire.

[14:55] While we're told that we're driving towards the big World War II event of China and America going to war which can never happen because the American military-industrial complex cannot produce a weapon without China.
  Alors qu'on nous dit que nous nous dirigeons vers le grand événement de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, avec la Chine et l'Amérique allant en guerre, ce qui ne peut jamais arriver car le complexe militaro-industriel américain ne peut pas produire une arme sans la Chine.

[15:10] So anyone saying we're going to World War II hasn't really fought through that and I think everyone knows that.
  Donc quiconque dit que nous allons vers la Seconde Guerre mondiale n'a pas vraiment réfléchi à cela, et je pense que tout le monde le sait.

[15:16] Um and so Russia gets Ukraine alongside whatever
  Euh et donc la Russie obtient l'Ukraine, en plus de quoi que ce soit d'autre.

[15:23] Black Brock and the Fick and assets strip out of the country.
  Black Brock et les Fick et les actifs sortent du pays.

[15:27] The Mick get to test weapons which was the Palestinian laboratory and the Ukrainian laboratory.
  Les Mick peuvent tester des armes qui étaient le laboratoire palestinien et le laboratoire ukrainien.

[15:34] Uh the FIK gets rebuild contracts and the um American interests and the global hegeimon interests with the strategic choke points and ports and the pro dollar.
  Euh, le FIK obtient des contrats de reconstruction et les intérêts américains et les intérêts hégémoniques mondiaux avec les points d'étranglement stratégiques et les ports et le pro-dollar.

[15:52] It is being dismantled into these bounded escalations where every time we get a new agreement signed we get closer to a non US dominated world.
  Il est démantelé en ces escalades limitées où chaque fois que nous signons un nouvel accord, nous nous rapprochons d'un monde non dominé par les États-Unis.

[16:04] Um, and uh, you know, when when when Trump turns up in Beijing and you see Xi Jinping meeting with Tim Cook of Apple, uh, the executives of Visa and Mastercard, uh, Elon Musk of, well, SpaceX X, whatever, Tesla now,
  Euh, et euh, vous savez, quand quand quand Trump se présente à Pékin et que vous voyez Xi Jinping rencontrer Tim Cook d'Apple, euh, les dirigeants de Visa et Mastercard, euh, Elon Musk de, eh bien, SpaceX X, peu importe, Tesla maintenant,

[16:23] What you want to call it.
  Ce que vous voulez appeler cela.

[16:25] Uh, what do I see?
  Euh, qu'est-ce que je vois?

[16:25] I see the most important players meeting in one place which is America is no longer a nation state.
  Je vois les acteurs les plus importants se réunir en un seul endroit, ce qui signifie que l'Amérique n'est plus un État-nation.

[16:35] It is a private corporation.
  C'est une entreprise privée.

[16:38] And all those private corporations were negotiating with their strategic partner China in order to make sure that they get the rare earth minerals that they need, that they get the cheap labor that they need, that they can still function the factories in China that they need.
  Et toutes ces entreprises privées négociaient avec leur partenaire stratégique la Chine afin de s'assurer d'obtenir les minéraux de terres rares dont elles ont besoin, d'obtenir la main-d'œuvre bon marché dont elles ont besoin, de pouvoir continuer à faire fonctionner les usines en Chine dont elles ont besoin.

[16:54] Because the only thing that's being rebuilt in America is AI, robotics, and data centers, and the rest requires China.
  Parce que la seule chose qui est reconstruite en Amérique, ce sont l'IA, la robotique et les centres de données, et le reste nécessite la Chine.

[17:04] Um, and that's the transition that we're going through.
  Euh, et c'est la transition que nous traversons.

[17:08] And Trump is actually, to me, if you think he's an idiot, it's because I believe he's being fed instructions of what comes next.
  Et Trump est en fait, pour moi, si vous pensez qu'il est un idiot, c'est parce que je crois qu'on lui donne des instructions sur ce qui va suivre.

[17:17] And he doesn't know what comes next.
  Et il ne sait pas ce qui va suivre.

[17:19] And actually he's servicing the private corporate transnational capital to
  Et en fait, il sert le capital transnational des entreprises privées à

[17:24] Perfection, but you think he works for Americans, so therefore it looks like a bumbling idiot that doesn't know what he's doing that's losing a war.
  Perfection, mais tu penses qu'il travaille pour les Américains, donc il ressemble à un idiot maladroit qui ne sait pas ce qu'il fait et qui perd une guerre.

[17:35] Um, I think the loss was baked into the equation and I think it was negotiated with China.
  Euh, je pense que la perte était intégrée dans l'équation et je pense qu'elle a été négociée avec la Chine.

[17:41] Um, and Trump is just your person for delivering this change in empire.
  Euh, et Trump est juste la personne pour livrer ce changement d'empire.

[17:46] So, I'll park it there.
  Donc, je vais m'arrêter là.

[17:47] Thank you.
  Merci.

[17:49] Brilliant summary.
  Résumé brillant.

[17:51] I I'm going to rotate the cube slightly.
  Je vais faire pivoter le cube légèrement.

[17:54] So, February 28th, March 1st, depending on your timeline, um where your date line is, uh the United States and Israel do the decapitation strike and within minutes, 5 minutes, apparently, Iran's dialing back and they take out an extraordinary number of US bases.
  Donc, le 28 février, le 1er mars, selon votre chronologie, euh où se trouve votre ligne de date, euh les États-Unis et Israël effectuent la frappe de décapitation et en quelques minutes, 5 minutes, apparemment, l'Iran recule et ils détruisent un nombre extraordinaire de bases américaines.

[18:07] I think probably one of the most comprehensive losses of assets in a short amount of time since any war I can think of, right?
  Je pense que c'est probablement l'une des pertes d'actifs les plus complètes en peu de temps depuis n'importe quelle guerre à laquelle je puisse penser, n'est-ce pas ?

[18:14] It was it was pretty profound, right? including some really expensive, pricey radar systems.
  C'était assez profond, n'est-ce pas ? y compris certains systèmes radar vraiment coûteux et chers.

[18:19] March 2nd, Ukraine suddenly decides to start dialing in long range and taking out Russian energy infrastructure assets.
  Le 2 mars, l'Ukraine décide soudainement de commencer à ajuster la portée longue et à détruire les actifs d'infrastructure énergétique russes.

[18:27] So, and I know we're all focused on the straight of hormones, the straight of hormones like like they've got my focus like everything's about that and it's about the oil.
  Donc, et je sais que nous sommes tous concentrés sur la question des hormones, la question des hormones comme si elles avaient toute mon attention, comme si tout tournait autour de ça et de l'huile.

[18:35] I think it's a little bit more than the oil.
  Je pense que c'est un peu plus que l'huile.

[18:36] I think it's the oil products plus the sulfur, the you know, ura, the helium, etc.
  Je pense que ce sont les produits pétroliers plus le soufre, le, vous savez, l'ura, l'hélium, etc.

[18:41] It's a lot of things.
  C'est beaucoup de choses.

[18:44] But it's now Financial Times even came out and said, "Oh, it's a known fact that you know when um Ukraine hit thems refinery 3,000 kilometers from their border, right?
  Mais maintenant, le Financial Times a même déclaré : "Oh, c'est un fait connu que, vous savez, quand l'Ukraine a frappé leur raffinerie à 3 000 kilomètres de leur frontière, n'est-ce pas ?

[18:53] Russia's largest refinery."
  La plus grande raffinerie de Russie."

[18:55] They hit it.
  Ils l'ont frappée.

[18:55] They did that with American targeting help, right?
  Ils ont fait cela avec l'aide américaine pour le ciblage, n'est-ce pas ?

[18:58] Because, you know, they have mobile air platforms and air defenses that get moved around.
  Parce que, vous savez, ils ont des plates-formes aériennes mobiles et des défenses aériennes qui sont déplacées.

[19:00] You have to know exactly where they are and you got to sort of thread the needles to get all the way in there.
  Vous devez savoir exactement où ils se trouvent et vous devez en quelque sorte passer par le chas de l'aiguille pour arriver jusqu'à là-bas.

[19:07] So, the United States is clearly instrumental in shutting down the flows of oil from the Gulf and also instrumental in in really tuning up I think brushes out almost half of its refining capacity right now.
  Donc, les États-Unis sont clairement déterminants pour arrêter les flux de pétrole du Golfe et aussi déterminants pour vraiment, je pense, réduire de près de la moitié sa capacité de raffinage en ce moment.

[19:16] They could fix it next week, but right now it's it's pretty bad.
  Ils pourraient le réparer la semaine prochaine, mais pour l'instant, c'est assez grave.

[19:21] This feels like um this is a one-two punch.
  Cela ressemble à un coup double.

[19:23] I see them as they're the same event to me.
  Je les vois comme le même événement pour moi.

[19:26] This is somebody somewhere decided, you know what we should do, Simon?
  C'est quelqu'un, quelque part, qui a décidé, vous savez ce que nous devrions faire, Simon ?

[19:26] We should just
  Nous devrions simplement

[19:29] Really muck up the world's energy systems.
  Vraiment gâcher les systèmes énergétiques mondiaux.

[19:32] So, okay.
  Alors, d'accord.

[19:34] Okay, so who wins and loses?
  D'accord, alors qui gagne et qui perd ?

[19:36] China's the number one oil importer bar by far, but they have huge reserves, so they're able to sort of sit this out a bit.
  La Chine est de loin le premier importateur de pétrole, mais elle dispose d'énormes réserves, donc elle peut en quelque sorte attendre un peu.

[19:43] Europe is just going to get clobbered in this story.
  L'Europe va juste se faire écraser dans cette histoire.

[19:46] Absolutely clobbered.
  Absolument écrasée.

[19:48] So then I think back to the old WF stuff, which is like Western values will have been tested to the breaking point.
  Alors je repense aux vieux trucs de WF, qui disent que les valeurs occidentales auront été mises à l'épreuve jusqu'au point de rupture.

[19:53] Now I can rotate this cube and it looks to me both systematic and coordinated and also intentional.
  Maintenant, je peux faire pivoter ce cube et il me semble à la fois systématique, coordonné et aussi intentionnel.

[19:58] This is designed I think to puncture the western hegemony.
  C'est conçu, je pense, pour percer l'hégémonie occidentale.

[20:02] I think I to me I feel like we're under attack whether it's the refugees culturally swamping areas.
  Je pense que j'ai l'impression que nous sommes attaqués, que ce soit par les réfugiés qui submergent culturellement des zones.

[20:08] We you put all these things in places.
  Nous, vous mettez toutes ces choses à des endroits.

[20:09] We don't have a border, you know, we're not allowed to criticize Israel legally, you know, all kind just there's all these intentional things which conspire to to this idea that you're we're no longer I no longer belong to a nation is as it's been fed to me, you know, through my schooling and Europe is being systematically dismantled.
  Nous n'avons pas de frontière, vous savez, nous n'avons pas le droit de critiquer Israël légalement, vous savez, toutes sortes de choses, il y a toutes ces choses intentionnelles qui conspirent à cette idée que vous n'êtes plus, nous ne sommes plus, je n'appartiens plus à une nation telle qu'elle m'a été inculquée, vous savez, par ma scolarité, et l'Europe est systématiquement démantelée.

[20:26] And when the dust settles, I
  Et quand la poussière retombera, je

[20:29] think we just go back to that 1940 chart

[20:31] of the technate of America. The United

[20:34] States sits on North America plus

[20:35] Venezuela, Greenland, Cuba.

[20:39] The rest sort of gets sorted out

[20:41] according to to geography in the rest of

[20:44] the world.

[20:46] Yeah. And that's been my long-term

[20:48] thesis before even this war started. So,

[20:50] it's why I was a bit more I was less

[20:53] panicked and kind of sitting back a bit

[20:56] because um this is what I thought was

[20:58] where we were headed. Um and so Europe

[21:01] is absolutely being vasilized.

[21:04] Um America as a nation state is being uh

[21:07] more and more privatized to a full

[21:10] takeover private takeover. Um you know

[21:13] the S&P 500 is moving towards 40 to 50%

[21:17] tech dominance.

[21:20] um most of the growth in the stock

[21:23] market and most of the growth in the GDP

[21:26] is building data centers for AI and

[21:28] robotic.

[21:30] um anything any thought of rebuilding a

[21:33] manufacturing base is just around you

[21:36] know those um semiconductor chips uh

[21:39] resolving what's going to happen with

[21:41] Taiwan um you know in terms of China

[21:44] chip independence and America chip

[21:47] independence

[21:48] uh that's not going to be a war from my

[21:50] calculations there's no chance that

[21:52] there's ever going to be a war with

[21:54] Taiwan around Taiwan um and I think um

[21:57] Xi Jinping made that very clear and we

[22:00] got lots of public, you know, right

[22:02] before the meeting between Trump and

[22:04] Xiinping and there was a cancellation of

[22:06] a $13 billion um defense contract to

[22:10] Taiwan. Uh there was the announcement

[22:12] from Trump, leave Taiwan. Um there was

[22:15] the announcement from Xi Jinping. Taiwan

[22:19] is all we care about basically. Um, and

[22:21] if you play nicely, then yeah, Elon,

[22:24] you'll be able to get your EVs, and Tim

[22:26] Cook, you'll be able to produce uh cheap

[22:29] iPhones. Um, and military companies,

[22:31] stay away. Uh, we'll make sure you get

[22:34] the rare earths that you need. Um, and

[22:36] we'll figure out what we're going to do

[22:37] with Taiwan. And basically uh TSMC

[22:41] announced that it is going you know as

[22:43] per the Biden policy uh the chips act is

[22:47] going to be building new um chip

[22:49] manufacturing bases in America um at the

[22:53] same time. So there's an interesting

[22:55] game happening there. Imagine you're

[22:58] Taiwan and you've got the Silicon Shield

[23:00] and you know the only thing that

[23:01] protects you is that China and America

[23:03] need your chicks. uh and you're finding

[23:06] out that those two players are talking.

[23:09] Um you you create a game as it were that

[23:12] has a bit of a natural selection which

[23:14] is what I think happen is happening

[23:16] right now. So on the China side they've

[23:18] created the full stack between Huawei,

[23:20] Deepseek, all of the the the stack that

[23:23] works without needing Nvidia or any

[23:26] anything. Um and they're building all of

[23:29] that capacity. America's doing the same.

[23:32] We've had the acquisition of Intel in

[23:35] terms of some of the shares. Uh we've

[23:37] had the complete buildout of AI data

[23:40] centers. We've had the chips act and TS

[23:43] you know TSMC is going to be um

[23:46] producing part of that. Now some of the

[23:48] assets

[23:50] that would uh you know that are

[23:52] essential in this supply chain are in

[23:54] Netherlands and South Korea.

[23:57] So Netherlands, you get a wealth tax all

[23:59] of a sudden that leads to turning the

[24:01] country into a stressed asset. Much like

[24:03] the Dutch disease, we're getting the

[24:05] Dutch disease part two. Um with uh with

[24:08] wealth taxes

[24:10] and South Korea and Japan were the two,

[24:13] you know, South Korea, Japan and India

[24:14] were the two most impacted by the

[24:17] closure of the straight of moose. Um, I

[24:21] think this kind of leads to distressed

[24:23] asset acquisition concentration into

[24:26] those key supply chains around AI um,

[24:29] and robotics.

[24:31] Um, and what you'll get in Taiwan, I

[24:33] think, is a natural selection.

[24:35] Those that believe

[24:38] that China is the future of the empire

[24:40] or the future empire will kind of set up

[24:43] their relationships with China and

[24:46] gravitate towards helping that side.

[24:48] those that believe, you know, um

[24:51] America, you know, um America's freedom

[24:54] and they're going to still prevail and

[24:56] all the tech is happening there, they'll

[24:58] kind of direct themsel over to America

[25:01] and naturally you'll end up with no

[25:02] assets in Taiwan and in the next 5 years

[25:06] chip independence between um China and

[25:09] America. I think that's what is like one

[25:12] of the agreed negotiations

[25:14] and in order to achieve that I think it

[25:16] was said right you won't touch Taiwan uh

[25:20] uh Russia gets Ukraine

[25:22] um you keep fighting to the last

[25:24] Ukrainian and we'll bankrupt Europe in

[25:27] the process um and so Europe will get

[25:30] have to print another trillion dollars

[25:32] through NATO to fund this war it will

[25:35] stimulate our stock markets across UK

[25:38] UK, Israel, Germany, and America, the

[25:42] the the military-industrial complex. Um,

[25:45] and then eventually we'll transition to

[25:47] this technocratic Orwellian um global

[25:51] control grid that seems to be built. Um,

[25:55] now now in the meantime,

[25:58] uh, the FIC needs to hedge against the

[26:00] dollar dominance. And so what's the

[26:03] biggest if you're if you've got your

[26:04] entire financial center in America, the

[26:07] deepest liquidity, stock markets, bond

[26:09] markets, everything, you set up a bunch

[26:12] of games that can lead to its

[26:15] destruction if you wanted to, but while

[26:18] it's powerful, you start hedging. So you

[26:21] set up lots of different alternative

[26:22] financial centers across Saudi, across

[26:25] UAE. um you try and change Israel's um

[26:30] sorry you change Israel you change Iran

[26:34] and remember the strategic tension

[26:36] between Iran and Israel was the

[26:38] justification for 10 trillion of money

[26:40] printing a war when you take that away

[26:45] um you end up with a completely

[26:48] different you know situation how's the

[26:51] military going to make up for those lost

[26:53] profits well if it's central in South

[26:56] America. You can you can you can play

[27:00] you can return back there. Give it

[27:02] Europe. Also give it a new surveillance

[27:05] industry, civil unrest in America in

[27:08] Europe. Build out the privatized police

[27:10] and deportation systems. Um build out

[27:14] the palunteer

[27:16] um you know pre-rime arrests and fill up

[27:19] the prisons. We'll build more prisons.

[27:21] You know, I mean, America has the

[27:24] highest incarceration rate in the world

[27:25] right now. Two million incarcerations.

[27:29] Um, you know, that's, you know, this is

[27:32] because, um, C, you know, GEO Group and

[27:37] Core Civic get paid per deportation and

[27:40] get paid per imprisonment. Um, so the

[27:42] incentives are all aligned in terms of

[27:45] that. So I do think this is the systemic

[27:48] asset stripping of America in order to

[27:50] transition the world to a multipolar

[27:52] order using war as a mechanism to get

[27:56] leverage and negotiation into that

[27:58] multipolar world order while a a global

[28:01] control grid um between China and the

[28:04] technical industrial complex tick is

[28:07] being built out um and energy was the

[28:09] way of resetting that map. close the

[28:11] straight off Muse uh renegotiate all the

[28:14] energy routes um and use the Mick in

[28:17] order to you know via the proxies

[28:19] Ukraine and Israel um in order to get

[28:22] maximum leverage into these uh these

[28:26] negotiations of the new world order

[28:28] that's going to come from the whatever

[28:30] is signed with Iran

[28:32] marks the new world order um who invests

[28:36] who rebuilds what happens with the

[28:39] straight for me um what happens to

[28:42] Israel um and then obviously what

[28:44] happens in Ukraine um Russia and what

[28:47] happens to um Taiwan and China and and

[28:51] and I think those have all been agreed

[28:53] and we're moving towards it with bounded

[28:55] escalations in order to try and get more

[28:58] leverage in in these big big changes.

[29:02] Now you you you know this um better than

[29:04] anybody but when you when you start

[29:05] peeling back

[29:07] how our money system work currency

[29:09] systems not really money but currency

[29:10] how how it actually functions right so

[29:12] we just print it out of thin air and and

[29:13] and then we have it's actually every

[29:16] unit of currency is backed by an

[29:17] offsetting amount of debt somewhere in

[29:19] the system it's either a that debt is

[29:21] either an asset on the central bank's

[29:22] balance sheet or it's you know in a bank

[29:24] somewhere but you know that's it we

[29:26] create debt and you get more of this

[29:28] currency and so um

[29:31] that system

[29:33] clearly can't operate forever. I don't

[29:36] know when it's going to break, but

[29:38] objectively you look at it, you go, "Oh,

[29:40] there's a huge mismatch between claims,

[29:42] which we'll call all the all the units

[29:44] of currency and associated debt, and

[29:46] actual actually what's what the global

[29:49] economy can actually produce. Unless we

[29:52] have some exciting new thing where where

[29:54] information suddenly has value. We've

[29:55] created this value out of nothing."

[29:57] Exelio look we ran some some models and

[30:01] now this data has value right but what

[30:03] where value used to come from was land

[30:06] food resources right so if you could

[30:08] just study routes and resources as

[30:10] Michael Jan said you can pretty well

[30:11] understand how the world sorted itself

[30:13] out that was what the whole Suez scrap

[30:15] was about like you know that the British

[30:17] Empire had its had all these flows

[30:19] coming in because they controlled routes

[30:21] and resources and now we're supposed to

[30:23] believe there's this whole new thing

[30:25] called information which is just as

[30:27] valuable as that old stuff. And I think

[30:29] they're trying to make that swap. But I

[30:31] submit to you that underneath that,

[30:33] these people are are smarter than than

[30:35] us or as smart, however you want to look

[30:37] at it. But they have to know that the

[30:39] fiat currency system has an expiry date

[30:41] on it. Might not be immediate, but it's

[30:44] clearly being expanded at an exponential

[30:47] rate faster than the economy could ever

[30:49] possibly expand. So how do you how do

[30:51] you begin to square that? because it

[30:52] means how we cons what we think of as

[30:56] what's the role of money. It used to be

[30:59] to aortion economic activity but now

[31:01] it's more used for power and control.

[31:04] What it feels to me like they're racing

[31:07] against a clock with all this stuff and

[31:09] they want to slap us into something.

[31:10] Stable coins, CBDC's, something. But I

[31:14] feel like they're they're kind of pawing

[31:16] around for a solution because they can

[31:17] add the numbers up as well as I can. the

[31:20] fiat system is is entering what I would

[31:23] call the terminal phase at this point in

[31:25] time. And by the way, just to throw a

[31:27] little something on top of that,

[31:28] everybody knows now that the United

[31:30] States is at peak oil and we'll soon

[31:33] have to recognize we're at peak gas as

[31:34] well. And this is the part that I can't

[31:37] quite square up because if you have all

[31:39] these brilliant data centers, man, they

[31:40] are gas they're gas gobblers, right? um

[31:43] and you know that you're going to be

[31:44] going down in gas production over time,

[31:47] but you need these new control things to

[31:49] last forever. Well, like if you knew

[31:51] that, the only rational response would

[31:53] be to be start slapping in nuclear

[31:54] plants as fast as you could, and we're

[31:56] not doing that. So, I feel like there's

[31:58] something I'm missing in this story.

[32:00] They have to know all this.

[32:01] I think it's important to define what um

[32:04] the end of the fiat currency system is.

[32:07] I certainly think we're hitting an age

[32:10] where we're going to question dollar

[32:12] dominance. Um, but fiat currency just

[32:15] rolls over. Uh, and so it always finds

[32:18] it just means that a new currency is

[32:20] used or a new order or a new mechanism

[32:23] for tying those currencies together. Um,

[32:26] but I don't think it ends fiat currency.

[32:28] And so let's look at the the dominant

[32:30] order right now. So we had the removal

[32:34] of the gold standard 71. We had the

[32:36] creation of the petro dollar. Um and uh

[32:40] the arrangement depended upon everybody

[32:44] purchasing US treasuries so that America

[32:46] could roll over its debt. We're now at

[32:49] that $40 trillion mark. So the question

[32:52] is um can America roll over its debt?

[32:56] Well, what what what tension do we have

[32:57] there? Um well the first thing is that

[33:00] foreign central banks have started to

[33:02] reduce their treasury reserves um and

[33:06] they've increased their gold reserves

[33:07] and that's a global trend

[33:10] um but

[33:11] mhm

[33:11] general private capital is still

[33:14] purchasing treasuries now it's going

[33:16] towards a shorter um expiration date so

[33:21] less people are willing to lend to the

[33:22] US government for 30 years but there's

[33:25] still the most liquid market out there

[33:27] compared compared to the other treasury

[33:30] compared to the other bonds. Um, less

[33:32] are willing to lend is still pretty

[33:34] liquid in the 10-year. Um, but more and

[33:36] more is moving over to short-term,

[33:38] including the US government itself. And

[33:41] so more and more of the auctions are

[33:43] being done at the shorterdated

[33:45] treasuries,

[33:46] which means that it has to continually

[33:48] roll over, but people are only willing

[33:50] to lend to the US government for so

[33:52] long. So what are the sources of that?

[33:54] Well, one of the sources of that is

[33:56] borrowing money at 0% from the Bank of

[33:58] Japan. Um, now that's not there anymore.

[34:02] Um, so we have this unwinding of that

[34:04] um, carry trade. Now what were they

[34:07] doing with that carry trade? Well, the

[34:09] largest lender, foreign lender to the US

[34:12] government is Cayman Island. We know

[34:14] that Cayman Island is just a a, you

[34:16] know, it's not the actual economy. It's

[34:18] a it's a vehicle for all the hedges. and

[34:20] they were borrowing from the carry trade

[34:23] in order to be 50x leverage 100x

[34:26] leverage on the basis trade um by

[34:30] participating in these auctions and 40

[34:32] to 50% of those treasury auctions were

[34:35] just someone trying to clip value out um

[34:39] using leverage using the Japan carrier

[34:42] trade and so then you have another thing

[34:46] what if um other countries and sovereign

[34:49] wealth funds started trying to sell

[34:50] their treasuries. Well, that's when you

[34:53] get the UAE situation. Instead, you say,

[34:55] "Don't sell your treasuries. Uh, don't

[34:57] sell your shares. We don't want you to

[34:58] crash our stock market. Um, just deposit

[35:01] some of your currency on deposit and

[35:04] we'll give you an FX swap line." So, you

[35:05] create the dollars. Um, and then you can

[35:08] buy the treasuries with the dollars that

[35:10] you get to create. Um, so now they're

[35:12] outsourcing the dollar creation

[35:14] mechanism and the purchase of treasuries

[35:17] and the click to other countries. Um, so

[35:20] what's left? Well, the left is as long

[35:24] as the US banking system and the and the

[35:27] global banking system is willing to use

[35:30] treasuries as collateral

[35:33] then it can continue then it will the

[35:36] dollar can continue to be rolled over.

[35:38] At the moment, the indications are that

[35:41] the banking system is still willing to

[35:42] use the dollar as collateral. And the

[35:46] reason for that is because they believe

[35:49] that the Fed will purchase the

[35:51] treasuries um and increase their balance

[35:53] sheet. Um so then you come back to right

[35:58] so everything's on the Fed.

[36:00] Um, now the Fed right now is uh if

[36:05] anyone starts selling their their

[36:07] treasuries, we end up with these spikes

[36:09] in in the yield on the 30-year which

[36:12] then breaks the real estate market

[36:14] because then you get mortgages at 7% and

[36:16] no one can roll over their debt at these

[36:18] expensive rates. So, you've got stress

[36:20] there and then you've got that connected

[36:22] to the commercial real estate market.

[36:25] Um, what about um on the other the other

[36:28] sides of stress? Well, we know that the

[36:32] banking system was correlated slightly

[36:36] to the buildout of AI through the

[36:38] private credit markets. Um, and so

[36:41] you've got these private credit market

[36:44] redemption issues.

[36:46] It doesn't feel systemic into banking

[36:49] yet. Uh, because they're just doing

[36:52] write downs and making the retail

[36:53] investor lose their money and

[36:55] restricting redemptions. But how much of

[36:58] that money was lent from the banks with

[37:01] a very similar system to the 2008 where

[37:05] no one really knows what the end loan in

[37:07] that private credit and whether it went

[37:09] to the AI data centers and what that

[37:11] means. So we've got this Lego construct

[37:14] there that's kind of fragile as well.

[37:17] And if you think about the narrative,

[37:20] if you break the private credit market

[37:22] or the commercial real estate market,

[37:25] you then force the too big to fail

[37:27] narrative because the bank will always

[37:29] be bailed out because it has to be. It

[37:31] is the dollar. Um, and so that's how you

[37:35] can force the Fed into a bailout,

[37:37] increase its balance sheet. Um, then you

[37:40] need an acceptable narrative. What's

[37:43] that acceptable narrative? Well, it's

[37:45] building right now. we need to win the

[37:46] AI arms race. If China wins, they win.

[37:50] Um, and so you've got private credit

[37:53] that's funding out these data centers

[37:55] connected to the banking system, which

[37:57] then feeds back into commercial um, real

[38:00] estate issues. Um, then you've got the

[38:03] AI narrative. You we have to win. Um,

[38:08] and uh, and really it's all dependent

[38:11] upon the Fed in stress doing

[38:14] quantitative easing.

[38:16] And so really right now the regime

[38:18] change that happened at the Fed with

[38:19] Kevin Walsh is the entire game is what

[38:22] will the Fed do? Um and the foreign

[38:26] central banks are hedging away from it.

[38:29] And can they create a new mechanism for

[38:32] rolling over their debt? Well, one

[38:34] strategy and we don't know if it will

[38:36] work is that if the banking system goes

[38:38] through stress, you just replace it with

[38:40] a CBDC.

[38:42] um you also create private um you know

[38:45] private stable coins backed by US debt

[38:48] and you push those two different

[38:50] markets.

[38:51] Um both of those are going into

[38:54] legislation right now. Um and both of

[38:56] them have implications in that they are

[38:58] now programmable money. One way you

[39:01] could also do this is you could

[39:05] create a massive productivity increase

[39:07] through artificial intelligence

[39:10] that is somewhat disinflationary that

[39:13] offsets this.

[39:15] Um, but the side effect of that is you

[39:18] create lots more unemployment.

[39:20] And so if you're creating lots more

[39:22] unemployment, you obviously can't tell

[39:23] people that. Um, but you could use AI to

[39:27] push the price of goods down and down

[39:29] and down and down. Um, and at the same

[39:33] time, as the price of goods are going

[39:35] down and down and down through this AI

[39:37] productivity increase, it's leading to

[39:39] more unemployment.

[39:41] But who's actually benefiting from all

[39:43] that money printing? Well, it's those

[39:44] that own the AI data centers, those that

[39:47] own the AI infrastructure. So what

[39:49] you're doing is you're accelerating the

[39:51] K-shaped economy, the concentration of

[39:53] wealth upwards to those that own this

[39:56] whole AI ecosystem that the entire bond

[40:00] market is being used via these route,

[40:03] you know, these different things to to

[40:05] build these data centers. So when you

[40:07] plug all that together, what do you end

[40:09] up with? Well, you end up with most

[40:12] likely a universal basic income in an

[40:16] environment of goods increasing

[40:18] decreasing in value but all the wealth

[40:21] concentrating to those that own the

[40:23] assets.

[40:24] Um, and so what are you doing? You're

[40:26] basically saying, well, if all the

[40:29] wealth is concentrating upwards and now

[40:32] 92% of the US stock market is owned and

[40:36] controlled by 10%.

[40:39] Um, what are we going to do when people

[40:42] can't afford to consume where you give

[40:43] them a universal basic income? So you

[40:45] give them just enough in order to manage

[40:49] the consumption and the profits of the

[40:53] concentration of wealth and you make it

[40:55] programmable. You reward them um and you

[40:58] back it by treasuries. So to me there is

[41:01] a game plan of this CBDC and and by the

[41:04] way they talk they just implemented an

[41:06] act saying that there'll be no CBDC in

[41:08] America but they already have one. It's

[41:10] called Fed Now it's wholesale central

[41:12] bank digital currency. Um but it does

[41:15] give a date and a head start to the

[41:17] stable coin issuers. Um which is the

[41:19] privatization into the technical

[41:21] industrial complex. And there's also

[41:23] legislation

[41:25] called the Genius Act that says the Fed

[41:27] can use their reserves to issue a stable

[41:30] coin. And there's also Clarity Act that

[41:32] says we'll give an advantage to the

[41:34] banks over, you know, in this market

[41:37] because if you've got a banking license,

[41:39] you can pay the yield. So plug all of

[41:42] that together and I see a slow steady

[41:44] movement towards

[41:47] um you know trying to roll over

[41:51] the dollar system for as long as

[41:53] possible back it by the debt make the

[41:55] American people the bag holders reform

[41:58] accordingly

[42:00] um and uh asset strip and invest into

[42:05] multipolarity if you look at BlackRock

[42:07] approximately 50% of the ETFs are

[42:10] foreign and control capital now. That's

[42:12] how they control the capital flows via

[42:14] ETFs

[42:15] um you know foreign capital and 70 70

[42:18] trillion of US assets are foreign owned

[42:21] now. So America has is is foreign

[42:24] controlled and the intermediary between

[42:27] that capital is the is the Fit and the

[42:30] only people you can dump the debt on is

[42:33] the American people. Um and so what do

[42:36] you do? You vaselize Europe. you assets

[42:38] trip the assets, you push everything

[42:41] into the stock market, you roll over the

[42:43] debt, and then you use those assets to

[42:45] build out into a multipolar world. Uh,

[42:48] and that's that's the only game. You you

[42:50] you roll over the debt and you asset

[42:52] strip for as long as it works. And it

[42:55] works. Here's the conditions that it

[42:57] works.

[42:59] um as long as the there the banks are

[43:03] willing to use treasuries as collateral

[43:05] and the growth rate of the economy

[43:10] is bigger than the average cost on the

[43:13] debt. Right now the average cost on the

[43:14] debt is 3.3%.

[43:17] If you can't beat 3.3%

[43:21] um then you're asking, you know, you got

[43:23] to have the growth rate um at a greater

[43:26] rate than the average cost on the debt.

[43:29] Um and the only way to fix that is get

[43:32] the average cost on the debt down. So

[43:33] you regime change the Fed, try and have

[43:36] a a policy of lower interest rates and

[43:39] roll over the debt shortterm.

[43:41] Um, and then you try and manage the

[43:43] longerterm rates by the Fed purchasing

[43:46] the bonds, increase their balance sheet.

[43:49] Um, and the Fed has 100% control of over

[43:54] whether it does that.

[43:56] Um, and so yeah, you're right. We're

[43:58] we're in that game. But as long as you

[44:01] can grow above the 3.3%, now that growth

[44:05] doesn't need to be any reflection on

[44:07] what's good for the American people. It

[44:10] could be print money and invest in wars.

[44:14] It could be print money and build data

[44:16] centers. It could be um create more

[44:19] financialization and securitization and

[44:22] tokenization and speculation and

[44:24] degenerate gambling. As long as it

[44:27] produces the growth, it doesn't matter

[44:29] who it benefits. As long as you can get

[44:31] the growth, the game continues. And so

[44:34] that's kind of where I think we are the

[44:36] fiscal dominance which is print to

[44:38] stimulate

[44:40] um and then stimulate to stimulate the

[44:42] stocks um and concentrate wealth upwards

[44:46] and then when it all goes down just give

[44:47] them a UBI

[44:49] um and we'll create programmable money.

[44:53] So so I have I have multiple things to

[44:55] to comment on that. Um first though

[44:57] about the 3.3% also the US government

[44:59] right now is deficit spending at I don't

[45:01] know 6 7%. Right. So, uh, of GDP. So, so

[45:05] doesn't that have to sort of be wrapped

[45:07] in there is because that that's just

[45:10] accumulating.

[45:11] Yeah. I mean, absolutely. I mean, if you

[45:13] if America entered into a recession or a

[45:16] stock market crash, anything that

[45:17] reduced tax income right now,

[45:20] um, and you reverse, you know, and and

[45:23] then you increase the cost of the debt.

[45:25] So, the rates continue to go up and

[45:27] you're rolling over at higher and higher

[45:29] rates, which is the current situation.

[45:32] And the interest on the debt is creating

[45:34] a doom loop. Um where you know the

[45:37] interest on the debt means you need to

[45:39] roll over more debt which means you need

[45:40] to sell

[45:42] more treasuries which is weakening the

[45:44] dollar. Um and just all of this

[45:46] impossible mission right now. Um you

[45:50] know the world reserve currency is

[45:51] dependent upon that that that twin trade

[45:55] deficit and um and uh and tax deficit.

[46:00] Um if you end up in a situation where

[46:04] the deficit goes 7% 8% 10% 12%.

[46:08] You know then then you're in yeah you're

[46:10] in the you're in the doom loop cycle.

[46:12] When that will happen when that will

[46:14] happen is anyone's guess but at the

[46:16] moment America's still able to roll over

[46:18] at higher rates and and this is becoming

[46:22] very obvious to foreign central banks.

[46:25] So they're selling their treasuries and

[46:26] they're hedging.

[46:28] Well, so I you know, maybe it gets

[46:31] overplayed a lot, but for some reason

[46:32] Rome fell, right? And one of the factors

[46:35] that's cited often is, well, you know,

[46:37] they they did a little military

[46:38] overreach, right? They just overspent.

[46:40] Plus, you know, they had bad leaders and

[46:41] corrupt politicians. Usual usual, let's

[46:44] say, symphony of of things that tend to

[46:46] show up towards the end of of empire. I

[46:49] think it's a I think it's just a normal

[46:50] part of the metronome of of humanity.

[46:52] Um, but the NDAA, Trump is proposing,

[46:56] and it looks like it's getting seriously

[46:58] considered to increase our military

[47:00] expenditures from already punishing 900

[47:03] billion to $1.5 trillion per year with,

[47:07] of course, section 219 welding us into

[47:10] Israel, who will just keep us

[47:12] perpetually. They're so good at starting

[47:13] wars, they'll get us. Trust me, we're in

[47:15] a forever war. Those two things happen

[47:17] in a very, very expensive forever war.

[47:21] This sounds like the a recipe for

[47:22] breaking the bank. And again, I look at

[47:24] this is if I wanted to intentionally

[47:26] destroy my country. I would be doing

[47:29] that. Exactly.

[47:31] What are your thoughts?

[47:32] Yeah. Well, um, but I don't think Israel

[47:35] has the ability to hinge a forever war

[47:38] anymore because China's risen and China

[47:41] is the most important country in the

[47:43] region. And do you think China's okay

[47:45] with Israel being a US military proxy to

[47:48] destroy the region and fuel the US stock

[47:51] market forever war? I don't think so.

[47:54] And so Israel will be regime changed.

[47:57] Yeah. I mean, Israel is just a m node.

[48:00] Their job is to create more profits for

[48:02] the US military.

[48:04] Um the Israeli stock market is a

[48:07] military stock market. The US, the UK,

[48:10] the German, and the French. and their

[48:13] job is to facilitate the money

[48:15] laundering. Um, now they represent the

[48:19] MC faction of power which is aligned

[48:21] with the deep state which is the MI6 CIA

[48:24] MSAD faction. Um, and uh and um but

[48:30] financial what's what's the competing

[48:32] power around there is the financial

[48:34] power. The financial power aligned with

[48:37] the Gulf countries. Every single deal

[48:38] that the FIC does is with the Gulf

[48:41] sovereign wealth funds. Now Saudi has

[48:43] said until there is a Palestinian state

[48:45] there'll be no normalization in the

[48:47] region. China has said Iran and Saudi

[48:50] have normalized. Iran, Pakistan,

[48:53] uh Turkey, Egypt and um likely funded by

[48:57] Saudi will probably have their new

[49:00] defense pack. But the most important

[49:02] part of this is that China is creating

[49:07] new rails across the region with UAE,

[49:10] with Saudi, with Iran, with the GCC,

[49:14] with the BRICS corridors.

[49:16] So, US doesn't dominate the game

[49:18] anymore. Uh and so US is I believe

[49:22] managing its exit

[49:24] and Israel will probably just be

[49:27] privatized

[49:29] like um America was and in fact that's

[49:32] happening. The number of IPOs that are

[49:34] happening in Israel this year and the

[49:36] stock market in Israel is at record

[49:37] highs.

[49:39] Um more and more of the national assets

[49:41] are being privatized and UAE and India

[49:44] are buying them. Well, it was

[49:46] fascinating to see how many world

[49:47] leaders showed up to uh Kmeni's uh

[49:50] morning processions there in in Thran.

[49:53] It was quite surprising to me, including

[49:55] Saudi. Um I wasn't expecting that.

[49:58] Yeah. again when you're managing such a

[50:03] big change in the world um

[50:07] regional so if the goal is to turn Iran

[50:09] into Syria

[50:11] then um I think things would be done

[50:15] differently

[50:17] um the goal I think is to sustain the

[50:20] IRGC

[50:22] take out those which I think has already

[50:24] happened that were not on board with

[50:26] China's vision and the normalization

[50:29] between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

[50:31] Um, but end up with the same people that

[50:34] were negotiating

[50:37] um, you know, before the war are the

[50:40] same people negotiating during the war

[50:43] and will be the same people negotiating

[50:45] after the war. And none of them died.

[50:48] The only ones that died were the ones

[50:50] that probably wouldn't be on board with

[50:52] such a new regional stability vision.

[50:56] Um and what I see across the region is

[51:00] the replacement of proxies with state

[51:02] armies.

[51:04] You saw that in Yemen

[51:06] um when the Houthis signed an agreement

[51:08] with Saudi Arabia. Yes, we get bounded

[51:10] escalation, but directionally

[51:14] Iran allowed Houthis to continue to sign

[51:17] an agreement and that will probably go

[51:19] into a political process to have Houthis

[51:24] integrated into the state political

[51:26] process and army. We saw the same in

[51:29] Syria. Uh we saw a tit fortat between

[51:33] Saudi and UAE. I call good cop bad cop.

[51:36] So at the same time as Saudi getting

[51:38] dominance and signing agree with the

[51:40] Houthis over Yemen uh we saw UAE

[51:44] uh get jurisdiction over their ports in

[51:48] Somali land. Now everyone was reporting

[51:50] it as Israel. Um but it's UAE that owns

[51:54] those ports not Israel and Israel you

[51:57] know recognized Somali land. um which

[52:00] was the resolution between

[52:03] Turkeykey's strategic assets in Somalia

[52:06] and UAE's strategic ports. So why are we

[52:10] getting all of these different port

[52:12] assets being resolved one by one? Um and

[52:17] everyone's just focusing on Israel's

[52:19] winning the game, Israel controls

[52:20] America, Israel's Greater Israel

[52:23] project. I think they want you to

[52:25] believe that because Israel is at its

[52:28] weakest moment right now. Um we're also

[52:31] starting to see that, you know, the

[52:34] leftover from the agreement was Lebanon.

[52:37] Um Hezbollah,

[52:40] you know, um is being allowed to uh you

[52:45] know go to go at it with Israel, which

[52:47] is weakening each other. So you're

[52:49] getting a weaker Israel on the ground

[52:53] invasions

[52:54] and a weaker Hezbollah from the air

[52:57] bombardments.

[52:59] Sadly civilians need to die in that

[53:01] process because Israel always goes for

[53:03] civilian target. But that's what they do

[53:06] when they're trying to spark a reaction.

[53:09] Um but now you get an agreement between

[53:12] Israel and the Lebanese government. The

[53:14] Lebanese government is a proxy for

[53:16] American interests. Hezbollah has always

[53:19] been supported by Iran.

[53:22] Um, and then you have the Israeli part

[53:25] that they've now occupied and they'll be

[53:28] using for leverage in whatever the new

[53:31] order looks like at the end of this. And

[53:34] so then you have one of the biggest most

[53:36] impacted was Iraq. So to me, when I look

[53:38] around the map, I see long-term forever

[53:41] war issues being resolved,

[53:44] and I see everyone deciding who's going

[53:47] to control what ports.

[53:49] And now with whatever comes out of the

[53:51] straight of Hamoose will set the order

[53:53] for the region. Um I'm very positive

[53:57] amongst the connage that this is the end

[54:00] of the US forever war. And it's because

[54:02] Israel

[54:04] um who is a proxy for the US military

[54:09] while people might try to say it's

[54:11] Israel you know Israel is a proxy as

[54:14] well they have their own lobby process

[54:17] they have their own power structure you

[54:19] know if you think Netanyahu is in charge

[54:20] of the world he works for his power

[54:24] which is the military lobbies you know

[54:27] that's his stock market as well and so

[54:30] these milit military nodes are saying,

[54:33] "Well, the Middle East was really

[54:36] profitable for us for a long time. If um

[54:39] we're moving to regional stability and

[54:40] rebuild, we want as much of that as

[54:42] possible, but you need to give us a new

[54:45] war zone. So, make sure you don't end

[54:46] Europe. Make sure you escalate in

[54:49] Central and South America. And make sure

[54:51] you create civil unrest because we need

[54:54] to make up for lost profits if we're

[54:56] leaving here. um we're going to get some

[54:58] defense agreements, but it looks like

[55:00] China and Russia might be taking care of

[55:02] that and Turkey and Egypt and various

[55:04] other things. So, yeah, to me I'm very

[55:07] positive about where this is going. This

[55:09] is the dismantlement of Israel as a MC

[55:12] node in the region and it looks like

[55:16] they're controlling the game, but that's

[55:18] just a propaganda that they need you to

[55:20] believe because the Epstein blackmail

[55:22] networks were private corporate power

[55:24] blackmail networks.

[55:26] Mhm. uh and am I you know MSAD and

[55:29] Israel was just a node to create

[55:31] plausible deniability.

[55:34] I mean that if you think that Israel you

[55:36] know America doing a genocide is not in

[55:39] line with how it's always acted the

[55:41] British Empire and American Empire have

[55:44] done them but they do them via proxies

[55:47] you know so Israel is a perfect

[55:49] representation of how the British and

[55:51] American Empire have always acted.

[55:54] Um, this isn't like you don't need to

[55:56] blackmail American private corporate

[55:59] interest and the mix to profit from war.

[56:02] This is what props up his stock market.

[56:04] This is what rolls over its debt. That's

[56:06] not something you need to blackmail. Um,

[56:09] that's something that already functions.

[56:12] Um, but it's a nice plausible

[56:15] deniability story if you get all the

[56:17] Americans to believe we wouldn't do

[56:19] this. This isn't us, it's them, and now

[56:22] we're going to break free from them. Um

[56:24] and uh none of this would have ever

[56:27] happened if it if it wasn't for them.

[56:29] Nice story if you can manage it that

[56:31] way.

[56:33] Well, so skipping back then to this

[56:36] whole idea that um it's um asset

[56:38] stripping consolidation, you know, um a

[56:42] a capital techno elite and then

[56:43] everybody else getting UBI in that

[56:46] sweep. What you're describing sounds

[56:47] like communism just with better tools.

[56:50] Um, I think communism means that the

[56:53] government's in charge and the

[56:54] government's not in charge. The private

[56:56] sector's in charge.

[56:58] I think of communism is is a very tiny

[57:00] technocratic elite who believe they have

[57:02] the right, if not the obligation to tell

[57:04] everybody else what to do, which is

[57:06] mostly live as poorly as possible so

[57:08] that they can live as richly as

[57:09] possible.

[57:11] Yeah. So, definitionally, I don't think

[57:13] that fits into the definition of

[57:14] communism. um the the com you know the

[57:18] the way that China operates is the

[57:20] government's in charge but then they

[57:22] have capitalism underneath it and the

[57:24] way that America and the west operates

[57:26] is that the private sectors in charge

[57:28] and they have government underneath it

[57:30] and you just pay for them and you just

[57:32] buy them and you lobby them. Um and um

[57:36] those are the two governing systems of

[57:38] the two powers at the moment which is

[57:40] you know fit maktick in the west and

[57:43] China in the east. Um

[57:47] now what I think you have in America and

[57:50] the rest of the west right now is

[57:53] socialism for the private corporations

[57:58] and capitalism for everyone else.

[58:01] And so you socialize the losses and

[58:03] privatize the gains. So you dump the

[58:05] debt on the American people and they pay

[58:08] the inflation.

[58:09] Um you ne you make them believe they've

[58:12] got capitalism when you have a central

[58:14] banking system that's a Ponzi scheme and

[58:16] then they justify capitalism

[58:19] because they don't realize that the

[58:21] large multinational corporate that has

[58:23] the revolving door to the government and

[58:25] rolls over the Ponzi scheme is actually

[58:28] socialism. Uh because the bank bailout

[58:31] was socialism, the COVID bailout was

[58:33] socialism.

[58:35] And so the American system at the

[58:37] highest at the highest level of power is

[58:39] socialism with everyone else having

[58:42] capitalism,

[58:44] but the capitalism is rigged against

[58:45] them because they don't have the

[58:46] revolving door. Um that's what we have

[58:50] in the west. Uh I don't see any

[58:53] communism. I do see a private

[58:56] technocratic control grid. And remember,

[58:59] the Federal Reserve is a private company

[59:02] owned by the bank. And so I don't see

[59:04] the government winning here. I see the

[59:06] government being an asset strip and the

[59:10] everyone else being controlled by the

[59:11] private sector.

[59:13] When I use something like communism, um

[59:15] I'm thinking about um it's not the

[59:19] political architecture of it. It's it's

[59:21] how it operates in principle, which is

[59:23] totalitarian.

[59:24] and and with with this conceit that I

[59:28] think has been proven wrong all through

[59:30] history which is that a small number of

[59:32] people can sort of decide you know

[59:34] things and about how everything should

[59:36] how you should live what you should

[59:38] believe what how you dress what you can

[59:40] say what you can't say um what you do

[59:43] like and but basically it's all about

[59:45] controlling from the moment you you're

[59:46] born till you die harvesting as many

[59:49] units of usable things for for the

[59:52] people up the chain um And and so that's

[59:55] how I here here's why this is important

[59:57] to me. AI is pretty powerful, but it's

[01:00:02] we can talk about how powerful you think

[01:00:03] it is, but I believe that that the world

[01:00:05] economy is a complex system. I believe

[01:00:07] that um that to really have to have that

[01:00:11] sustainable flow of stuff going to the

[01:00:14] top, you need millions of independent

[01:00:16] agents out there making independent

[01:00:18] decisions in that complex thing with

[01:00:20] with incentive sort of being the shaping

[01:00:22] force around all that. I think they

[01:00:24] think they can control all this because

[01:00:25] I think they're control freaks. I think

[01:00:26] you got your hareries and they're just

[01:00:28] like, "Oh, we'll have God in a box and

[01:00:30] now we can finally administer all of

[01:00:32] this like we always wanted to and it's

[01:00:35] going to be perfect." Chef's kiss. Um, I

[01:00:38] think they're going to fail because I

[01:00:39] think they they do not fundamentally

[01:00:40] appreciate or understand

[01:00:43] how complex systems work. It nobody

[01:00:45] does. Um, it's it you know, they're

[01:00:47] basically beyond the human wetwware. Um,

[01:00:50] but I think they think they can really

[01:00:51] control it this time.

[01:00:54] I don't. So that's why I have a farm and

[01:00:57] that's why um I have as many of my

[01:00:59] assets outside of that system as

[01:01:01] possible. And that's why the number one

[01:01:02] thing I'm guarding jealously right now

[01:01:03] is my freedom, my freedom of thought, my

[01:01:06] ability to operate independently because

[01:01:09] I don't want to be have my outcomes be

[01:01:12] completely tethered to their ship

[01:01:15] because there's a non-zero chance that

[01:01:17] ship just sinks at some point for the

[01:01:19] oldest reason in the book. It's the

[01:01:21] tower of babble. You know, we we hey, we

[01:01:23] thought we we got a little ahead of

[01:01:24] ourselves. Now, this time we deserve a

[01:01:27] seat at the table with God. We can

[01:01:28] rewrite the instructions of life itself.

[01:01:30] You know, we got it cuz our technology

[01:01:33] is our tower, right? And so, we've got

[01:01:35] it. It's all hitched there, dude. We're

[01:01:37] one coronal mass ejection away from that

[01:01:39] whole thing being proven pretty false.

[01:01:41] Um, we are one piece of malicious code

[01:01:45] that that AI generates for some reason.

[01:01:48] who knows why. Um that that escapes and

[01:01:51] takes all our systems down. I mean,

[01:01:52] we're like, it's perilous to me to put

[01:01:55] all of our faith in that technology

[01:01:58] because you should probably have a

[01:02:00] redundant system where people still know

[01:02:01] how to do things without the box.

[01:02:06] Uh yeah, you should definitely have a

[01:02:07] redundancy

[01:02:09] um set up. Um so I I define that as

[01:02:13] authoritarianism and centralization

[01:02:16] and whether the government is the

[01:02:18] centralizing force or the central bank

[01:02:20] is the centralizing force or the

[01:02:22] monarchy is the centralizing force and

[01:02:25] under a democracy it means that the

[01:02:27] company becomes the centralizing force

[01:02:29] uh because you just buy the democracy

[01:02:31] which is where we are right now and so

[01:02:33] one's over and the other's covert and so

[01:02:36] if you're in China you know who's in

[01:02:38] charge who's authoritarian

[01:02:40] um and you know what the rules are

[01:02:42] around freedom of speech and what you

[01:02:43] can and can't talk about at the moment

[01:02:46] that is in America and across the west

[01:02:49] but it's done via a covert mechanism

[01:02:52] which is algorithms which is the private

[01:02:55] sector which is a few um smaller and

[01:02:58] smaller asset managers and complexes

[01:03:01] um that that control those algorithms.

[01:03:03] you know, if you're um if you think that

[01:03:06] there's freedom of speech right now,

[01:03:09] um there's kind of a couple of I I like

[01:03:12] to think about it when you look at the

[01:03:14] West and the state of things right now.

[01:03:17] You have those that are kind of just

[01:03:20] really in diet debt,

[01:03:23] um that are really in a bad position.

[01:03:26] and they have, you know, they're uh but

[01:03:29] they're able to talk about what they

[01:03:30] want because they can't influence the

[01:03:32] system and all they're doing is they're

[01:03:34] talking into social media and they're

[01:03:36] building their social credit score. Um

[01:03:39] they want to know what your real beliefs

[01:03:41] are. It used to be a mission of

[01:03:43] censorship. So we had like the Snowden

[01:03:45] revelations and you get deplatformed.

[01:03:48] That era is over now. It's like you talk

[01:03:50] about whatever you want, but we'll put

[01:03:52] you in a box and we'll make you a

[01:03:54] radicalized version of yourself. We'll

[01:03:56] give you freedom of speech, but not

[01:03:58] freedom of reach. And so, if you say

[01:04:00] what we want you to say, then the

[01:04:02] algorithm will boost your content. If

[01:04:04] you um if you become more of what we

[01:04:08] want you to become, a radicalized

[01:04:10] version of yourself will feed you more

[01:04:12] and more content that makes you believe

[01:04:15] that your version of the world is the

[01:04:17] correct version of the world. and will

[01:04:20] keep feeding you and feeding you and

[01:04:21] feeding you until you really are

[01:04:24] radicalized, you know, into whatever it

[01:04:27] is, whether it's all right, whether it's

[01:04:29] radical left, whether it's uh, you know,

[01:04:34] um, anti-Islam, whether it's

[01:04:36] anti-Judaism, whether whether whatever

[01:04:38] it may be, uh, pick your pill. And then

[01:04:40] they they push you into an influencer

[01:04:42] algorithm so that you become the most

[01:04:44] radicalized version of you. and they

[01:04:46] kind of boost these people that

[01:04:48] represent each faction. Um, and you get

[01:04:51] fed their content. Um, that's kind of

[01:04:53] like where we are right now. Um, so they

[01:04:55] don't mind you talking, but they are

[01:04:57] weaponizing your speech. Have it be

[01:05:00] known. That's not freedom of speech. You

[01:05:02] don't get the reach. Um, and you're

[01:05:05] building your social credit score.

[01:05:08] Then you have the people that are

[01:05:10] captured by the system. Now their wealth

[01:05:13] depends upon the preservation of the

[01:05:15] system. You're seeing this across

[01:05:18] generations. You have you have a big

[01:05:20] divide between

[01:05:22] um boomers and Gen X right now where the

[01:05:25] young people feel that the old people

[01:05:28] have got all the real estate, they got

[01:05:30] all the stocks and they they're just

[01:05:33] telling them to work harder and it will

[01:05:37] be f you know I had to work hard. Why

[01:05:38] can't you work hard? You're a winger,

[01:05:40] you know. And so you have that

[01:05:42] divisional

[01:05:43] and they start, yeah, it's all right for

[01:05:45] you. You were able to buy property when

[01:05:47] it was this price and you got all the

[01:05:49] pension and you got all the stocks and

[01:05:50] you're sat on millions and you just want

[01:05:53] the system to continue working so you

[01:05:55] can retire, but I can't buy, you know,

[01:05:58] you got these divisional

[01:06:00] um things as a result of the K-shaped

[01:06:02] economy.

[01:06:04] um they don't mind people that are

[01:06:07] captured by the system because their

[01:06:08] wealth is dependent upon the

[01:06:10] preservation of the current system. You

[01:06:12] see it right now like the China's uh

[01:06:16] real estate market has has really

[01:06:18] corrected and people are celebrating

[01:06:20] housing as more affordable in China. in

[01:06:23] America that's like, "Oh, the the the

[01:06:26] real estate market's crashed. Their

[01:06:28] system's over, you know." Um, and the

[01:06:31] young people are saying, "Crash this

[01:06:32] damn I want to buy a house. I want

[01:06:35] to buy stock. Can you just crash these

[01:06:37] markets already and get this stuff over

[01:06:39] with?" Um, you know, so they don't mind

[01:06:42] people that are captured by the system

[01:06:43] where their wealth is is preserved

[01:06:45] because they don't talk out against the

[01:06:47] system.

[01:06:48] Uh what they don't want is the people

[01:06:50] that are outside the system that you

[01:06:52] talked about. They've built their

[01:06:53] autonomy and freedom. They own assets

[01:06:56] that are captured by the system. Um and

[01:06:59] they're wealthy enough to actually

[01:07:01] change the system like they can lobby.

[01:07:03] They can have audience. They can have

[01:07:06] message. Uh they can actually affect

[01:07:08] change with money and invest in things.

[01:07:12] um they're kind of driving these. These

[01:07:14] are the people they don't want and the

[01:07:16] system doesn't want. And so whether you

[01:07:18] call that communism or not, I just say I

[01:07:21] look across the entire history of

[01:07:24] monarchies, capitalism, communism,

[01:07:28] whether the government's in charge,

[01:07:30] whether the central bank's in charge,

[01:07:31] whether a few companies are in charge,

[01:07:33] whether a king or queen in charge, it's

[01:07:35] always the same thing. the wealthy end

[01:07:38] up in charge and they use their wealth

[01:07:41] in order to control power and buy power

[01:07:44] and and and the joke points. And so

[01:07:47] we're kind of fed into these ideologies

[01:07:49] which I just reject. There is just is

[01:07:52] this working or is this not working?

[01:07:55] And you know if you want to call me a

[01:07:58] radical left communist socialist

[01:08:02] or you want to call me a free market

[01:08:04] libertarian

[01:08:06] um I I reject those labels because I can

[01:08:10] see a version of those that don't work.

[01:08:13] Um they they none of them work. In fact,

[01:08:16] it's just are the matrix I I I like um

[01:08:20] what um there was a country I was

[01:08:22] looking at right recently called the

[01:08:23] Kingdom of Bhutan and they reject the

[01:08:26] matrix of gross domestic product because

[01:08:28] you can rig the game, right? Print

[01:08:30] money, invest it in the stock market,

[01:08:32] create war, and you stimulate your stock

[01:08:34] market and you can stimulate growth.

[01:08:37] Now, you pro you may have killed

[01:08:38] everyone. Um however, it's still GDP.

[01:08:41] It's growth. and they said, "Well, we

[01:08:44] we're going to use gross gross happiness

[01:08:46] index."

[01:08:47] Um, and and they're measuring their

[01:08:49] success based upon how many people are

[01:08:51] happy and and the majority of people are

[01:08:53] happy and it leads to different policy.

[01:08:56] And so now the capitalists or the

[01:08:58] Austrian economist would have said,

[01:09:00] well, you know, you leave that all to

[01:09:02] the market and GDP is GDP no matter

[01:09:05] what. So the I think we've been fed a

[01:09:08] bunch of BS and I know we have because I

[01:09:11] look at who funded all the universities

[01:09:14] and whose interest it was to preserve

[01:09:18] Keynesianism, Austrian economics, um

[01:09:21] monitorism.

[01:09:22] You know, Milton Freriedman justified

[01:09:25] inflation and money printing.

[01:09:27] Keynesianism justified money printing

[01:09:29] and government spending. Austrians

[01:09:33] justified the gold standard and the gold

[01:09:35] standard ended up being captured by the

[01:09:37] banking system in order to control it.

[01:09:41] And so all of those, you know, are just

[01:09:43] justifications for a faction of power.

[01:09:46] We just need to, I think, look across a

[01:09:48] country and say, are these things

[01:09:51] working? And and I look across a bunch

[01:09:54] of places right now and say, a lot of

[01:09:57] stuff's not working. whether you call it

[01:09:59] communism or capitalism.

[01:10:01] Well, that's absolutely true and and

[01:10:03] that generational divide is pretty real

[01:10:05] cuz you know boomers who I'm right at

[01:10:07] depends to who's counting. I'm either X

[01:10:09] or or Boomer, but um uh my critique is

[01:10:12] that when you have a 40-year declining

[01:10:15] interest rate tailwind, it's easy to be

[01:10:17] a genius, right? And people who are

[01:10:19] starting to form households today are in

[01:10:21] the exact opposite environment. They're

[01:10:22] in a rising interest rate environment.

[01:10:24] So totally different landscape just

[01:10:26] economically 100% just and and these

[01:10:30] people today, these poor kids are

[01:10:31] starting out with everything as

[01:10:32] expensive as it's ever been. I'm not

[01:10:34] saying the stock market's kind of

[01:10:35] expensive. It's more expensive than it's

[01:10:37] ever been in history when you look

[01:10:39] across all the measures. You know, the

[01:10:41] Buffett indicator, PE, Ford sales,

[01:10:43] doesn't matter. Like you add them all

[01:10:45] up. So it's not just kind of pricey,

[01:10:47] it's stupid expensive. Housing, same

[01:10:49] thing, you know. And then of course you

[01:10:51] see property taxes going up and you got

[01:10:53] in, you know, insurance just

[01:10:55] skyrocketing across the board. It's

[01:10:58] clearly not working for more and more

[01:11:00] people. But that cut line, you know,

[01:11:01] poverty used to be way down there. And I

[01:11:04] think, you know, the poverty line, if

[01:11:05] you live in a city, it's six figures

[01:11:07] now. Poverty meaning you can't square

[01:11:10] all those circles in your in your budget

[01:11:13] and still have money left over to begin

[01:11:15] to create buffers for yourself over

[01:11:17] time. like that cut line is is pretty

[01:11:19] high and it's going to get higher. The

[01:11:21] Fed is already printing. They've already

[01:11:22] printed 200 billion in the last six

[01:11:24] months. They're back to expanding their

[01:11:26] balance sheet. You know, rever reserve

[01:11:28] balance management. I I'm sorry. I I I

[01:11:31] miss it's not QE. It's it's RBM,

[01:11:36] right? Tal sell whatever acronym they

[01:11:39] need next. I look at this though and and

[01:11:42] it feels to me like um it's becoming

[01:11:45] more and more and more untenable for

[01:11:47] more and more people just just from

[01:11:49] inflation alone but also from the

[01:11:50] capture dynamics that have happened

[01:11:52] where um you know Jim Kunster put it

[01:11:55] best. I I think our companies lo have

[01:11:57] lost the plotline and they openly run

[01:12:00] rackets on everybody. Health care is a

[01:12:03] racket. Predatory pricing in hospitals a

[01:12:06] racket. Insurance a complete racket.

[01:12:09] Right. On and on and on. And and because

[01:12:12] of that, it's so it almost feels like

[01:12:14] Trump is this crowning cherry on the

[01:12:16] Sunday where he's just doing an open

[01:12:18] cash grab for his family. It's like this

[01:12:20] last act of like massive grifting. It

[01:12:22] just feels like like we're at that stage

[01:12:23] where, how did George Washington put it?

[01:12:25] The last official act of any government

[01:12:27] is to loot the treasury. Well, we don't

[01:12:29] have an effective government. It just

[01:12:30] feels like everybody's in a looting

[01:12:31] operation right now. And that's how it

[01:12:33] feels. And it feels out of control and

[01:12:35] and those things tend not to be durable.

[01:12:38] What are your thoughts?

[01:12:40] I completely agree with everything that

[01:12:41] you said there. It's just um you know,

[01:12:44] you know, we we've hear um a stage where

[01:12:47] everyone starting to question the

[01:12:49] system, understand the system. Um and uh

[01:12:52] they don't like what they see. Um and I

[01:12:56] think Trump is a perfect representation

[01:12:58] of where we are right now. um which is

[01:13:03] you know if you want to call me Trump

[01:13:05] derangement syndrome I've got Biden

[01:13:07] derangement syndrome, Clinton

[01:13:09] derangement syndrome, Trump derangement

[01:13:11] syndrome, Kostama derangement syndrome

[01:13:14] like just give me a leader that looks

[01:13:16] like a leader then it's not a puppet

[01:13:18] that's extracting wealth and I could say

[01:13:21] everything I say about Trump I could say

[01:13:23] about Biden and the and the and the

[01:13:25] laptop and the the deals with China and

[01:13:28] the just complete extraction and just

[01:13:31] not doing what the label said. Um, and I

[01:13:34] think everyone's come to that realize

[01:13:35] that we're being misold about everything

[01:13:38] and people are getting incredibly

[01:13:39] frustrated now. Um, and Trump is just

[01:13:43] the perfect representation of that

[01:13:46] crypto scamming,

[01:13:48] like billions of dollars of extraction,

[01:13:52] doing deals with the Gulf countries

[01:13:55] while raging wars and like um just do

[01:13:59] everything is the opposite of the

[01:14:01] narrative. Um and and and quite frankly

[01:14:04] a cult leader like if you're still in

[01:14:06] the MAGA cult like um you are a product

[01:14:11] and your your ideology is not your

[01:14:14] ideology. It was downloaded like an

[01:14:16] operating system through the media into

[01:14:19] your brain.

[01:14:21] Like I I can I can look at you from one

[01:14:24] tweet and probably tell you 25 different

[01:14:27] things about you. what you watch, um,

[01:14:30] who you like, um, what type. And that's

[01:14:33] because we, you know, you can look at

[01:14:35] someone and you can you can just look at

[01:14:37] one tweet and and you can draw these are

[01:14:40] the 25 other things that have been

[01:14:42] downloaded into your brain, you know,

[01:14:45] and that's kind of the fact that you can

[01:14:47] take a step back and predict that means

[01:14:49] that these are not our thoughts. These

[01:14:51] are not our ideologies. Um, we are being

[01:14:54] brainwashed into a product. you know, we

[01:14:58] we are being manufactured. Um, and we

[01:15:00] need to get back to our critical

[01:15:02] thinking, which means and and getting

[01:15:03] back to the theme. You know, I think the

[01:15:06] real battle is is this centralization

[01:15:09] versus decentralization. That's the real

[01:15:11] battle. Whether it's centralization into

[01:15:14] the Chinese Communist Party or

[01:15:15] centralization into Black Rockck or

[01:15:18] centralization into a Gulf monarchy or

[01:15:20] whatever it may be, uh we are we are

[01:15:23] directionally heading towards peak

[01:15:26] centralization.

[01:15:27] not peak prosperity.

[01:15:29] Um and peak prosperity comes from us

[01:15:34] taking agency and being more

[01:15:36] decentralized,

[01:15:37] you know, um taking all of those griffs.

[01:15:41] You know, we've all come to the

[01:15:42] realization that we're being poisoned so

[01:15:46] that we become a subscription service,

[01:15:49] you know, for therapy,

[01:15:52] um, unhealthy drugs,

[01:15:55] um, you know, treatment like, uh, and we

[01:15:59] can see that we're all figuring that

[01:16:01] out. You take any area of expertise and

[01:16:04] someone will will tell you, you know,

[01:16:06] this food's not good. you know, if

[01:16:08] someone's an expert in that area,

[01:16:09] they'll tell you how rigged the system

[01:16:10] is. I can tell you how rigged the system

[01:16:12] is in in my game, like Trump was a

[01:16:15] crypto grifter, you know.

[01:16:17] Um,

[01:16:19] and uh, and that's that's that's kind of

[01:16:21] where where we are right now. So, you

[01:16:23] need to get to that realization.

[01:16:25] Um, and while the AI is telling you what

[01:16:28] to think, um, you need to we need to

[01:16:30] have our own decentralized AI that

[01:16:32] actually enhances our productivity

[01:16:34] posted on our own environment that's not

[01:16:38] algorithmically driving us in the

[01:16:40] direction that the centralizing power

[01:16:42] wants us to go towards. And that happens

[01:16:44] across money, that happens across every

[01:16:47] part of the, you know, wealth, health,

[01:16:50] um, and and mindset. And it's it's kind

[01:16:53] of um exhausting and overwhelming, which

[01:16:56] is not what I want to leave, you know,

[01:16:58] leave people with. Um

[01:17:01] but at but at the very at the very end,

[01:17:03] you can draw this down to some some

[01:17:05] pretty fundamental things that pretty

[01:17:08] much everything we've been told is a

[01:17:10] lie. So you need to relearn and unlearn

[01:17:14] what you've learned, you know, that was

[01:17:16] installed into you. uh and then you not

[01:17:19] you need to start experimenting and get

[01:17:20] more agencies. We do know that the way

[01:17:23] that the economy is set up right now is

[01:17:25] that the asset holder is the only one

[01:17:28] that's going to be able to beat the

[01:17:30] inflation. And so then you have to pick

[01:17:32] your asset. Is this asset helping,

[01:17:36] you know, centralization or is it not?

[01:17:40] Um and and and you're not going to get

[01:17:42] this 100%.

[01:17:44] because uh you know and then you start

[01:17:46] thinking well do I want to full opt out?

[01:17:49] I don't think opting out of AI is a

[01:17:51] reasonable solution unless you've got

[01:17:53] your own ranch and your own environment

[01:17:55] and you can just completely opt out. I

[01:17:56] don't think that's most people. Um so

[01:17:59] you have to use AI to be more productive

[01:18:01] to play in the game. So what type of AI

[01:18:04] should I be using? Interestingly, this

[01:18:06] whole China thing, they've released

[01:18:08] everything open source, which is the

[01:18:11] opposite of what we thought would have

[01:18:13] happened because, well, not really. Um,

[01:18:15] they released it open source because

[01:18:17] they want to use AI to take out all the

[01:18:20] employment issues and the demographic

[01:18:22] issues and and build their own

[01:18:25] manufacturing base. So, it makes sense

[01:18:27] it would be open source. the American

[01:18:29] companies are investing trillions

[01:18:34] in capex that needs to that will all be

[01:18:36] useless in three years that they need to

[01:18:39] reinance again to get the next wave of

[01:18:42] chips. Um and so that's why they're all

[01:18:45] issuing stocks like crazy at these

[01:18:47] valuations, raising as much debt as they

[01:18:50] can while they still can. um a and using

[01:18:53] podcasts in order to push a a media

[01:18:56] narrative

[01:18:57] um that uh you know that uh we're in the

[01:19:00] AI arms race and you need to be

[01:19:02] patriotic and support the American

[01:19:04] ecosystem and if you don't buy their

[01:19:06] share uh now you're not a real American

[01:19:09] you're a Chinese communist.

[01:19:11] um you know so so all of these things

[01:19:13] you got to you kind of get your your

[01:19:15] head around

[01:19:16] but yeah the value there's no market

[01:19:19] this isn't a stock market like this is

[01:19:23] this is a function of the Federal

[01:19:25] Reserve money printer

[01:19:28] um ETF capital flows through passive

[01:19:32] investments where people are just saying

[01:19:34] I'll invest $1,000 a month through my

[01:19:36] pension and you invest and do whatever

[01:19:40] and a captured media IA that is no

[01:19:44] longer saying let's price this based

[01:19:47] upon price per earnings or earnings per

[01:19:50] share or anything like that. That's

[01:19:52] gone. This is just will the money

[01:19:54] printer continue? Is the narrative

[01:19:56] something that we can push and is the

[01:19:58] passive flow still going to come in? As

[01:20:00] long as those goes then market goes up

[01:20:04] and anytime it corrects and makes things

[01:20:06] more reasonable bailout comes in. like

[01:20:10] socialize the losses, privatize the

[01:20:12] gains. This ain't a market. Like if you

[01:20:14] think that this is a market like uh uh

[01:20:17] you you might as well just try and

[01:20:19] figure out what Black Rockck, the

[01:20:20] Federal Reserve, the Bank for

[01:20:22] International Settlements, the Bank of

[01:20:24] Japan, and PBOC are going to do. And

[01:20:28] then if you can predict that, then

[01:20:30] that's will tell you what's going on.

[01:20:33] Yeah. They're going to print more. So I

[01:20:35] mean the the it's all about this

[01:20:37] narrative structure though. So, so I've

[01:20:38] been working on a theory for a while,

[01:20:40] which which I think it's it's almost a

[01:20:42] theory. Um, maybe a hypothesis, back it

[01:20:45] up. So, this happened during CO, right?

[01:20:47] So, we heard about, oh, they had these

[01:20:49] nudge units out there and they wanted to

[01:20:50] combat this thing called vaccine

[01:20:52] hesitancy and they ran focus groups and

[01:20:53] then they started doing all this stuff

[01:20:54] and they were using social media

[01:20:56] algorithms to try things out at the

[01:20:58] speed of light and, you know, corral

[01:20:59] people and all that ostensibly for

[01:21:02] public health. But really what they

[01:21:03] wanted was they wanted to get this mRNA

[01:21:05] jab in as many arms as possible as fast

[01:21:07] as possible. Right? They overrode all

[01:21:09] kinds of things to do that. Now we can

[01:21:10] there's a darker story under all of

[01:21:12] that. But right now I just want to talk

[01:21:13] about the power of their tools to do

[01:21:17] that was so good that I was at a bowling

[01:21:20] alley the other day and there's somebody

[01:21:21] wearing a mask years after the fact.

[01:21:23] Like they got they got they took a

[01:21:25] bullet right to the head of whatever

[01:21:27] this machine is, right? And for a while

[01:21:30] and I went to no kings rallies with my

[01:21:31] wife and and we went to the Elons and

[01:21:33] Nazi rallies just cuz I had to feel the

[01:21:35] vibe personally, right? And these people

[01:21:37] very earnest, very passionate, but if

[01:21:39] you scratched at their belief systems

[01:21:41] that you hit primer right away. There

[01:21:42] was no there was no deeper paint layer.

[01:21:45] They had no idea why they thought what

[01:21:46] they thought, but they were

[01:21:47] regurgitating. And so I was like, okay,

[01:21:49] I formed some judgments about lefties.

[01:21:51] And then I watched the whole thing

[01:21:53] happen to the right equally, right? Um

[01:21:56] around all kinds of things. you know,

[01:21:59] uh, becoming pro-war all of a sudden.

[01:22:01] And so, here's the thing. These were

[01:22:03] normally on the left, we had all these

[01:22:05] crunchy people. I live in a semi-crunchy

[01:22:07] area. We have exhippies here. And they

[01:22:08] were all not, they were all antivaxers

[01:22:11] until co. And so, they had this entire

[01:22:14] belief system that you can't trust

[01:22:15] pharma suddenly switch with no

[01:22:17] intervening cognitive dissonance. There

[01:22:19] was no struggle session. They believed

[01:22:21] this and then that. And I don't like

[01:22:24] from a psychological standpoint, I don't

[01:22:25] get it. Right. And I've watched the

[01:22:27] right do the same thing. No intervening

[01:22:30] struggle session. They just have this

[01:22:32] new belief system downloaded, installed,

[01:22:33] plugandplay.

[01:22:35] H how does this are we witnessing that

[01:22:37] there's that that sort of the Mgrim

[01:22:39] experiments um

[01:22:42] got improved over time and we're now

[01:22:45] seeing I feel like we're in in a

[01:22:46] weaponized mind control program right

[01:22:48] now and it's darn scary how effective it

[01:22:51] is. It's all about their their ability

[01:22:52] to shape narrative is astonishing.

[01:22:55] Yeah, it's an incredibly sophisticated

[01:22:57] and and we don't really need to be con

[01:23:00] if you want to talk about what's

[01:23:02] happening today, then you have to be a

[01:23:03] conspiracy theorist. But if you want to

[01:23:05] talk about what has already happened,

[01:23:07] then we've got all the evidence we need

[01:23:09] that what they're doing today is what

[01:23:11] they've always already done. And so you

[01:23:13] can look at whether it's operation

[01:23:15] mockingb bird where um the CIA, you

[01:23:18] know, installed um their own people in

[01:23:20] the media in Fox and CNN. Um whether

[01:23:24] it's they created the word conspiracy

[01:23:26] theory so that when you um talk about it

[01:23:29] um you're mocked mocking us um whether

[01:23:34] it's um

[01:23:36] the I mean look at to me like the the

[01:23:39] the one that I remember the the most and

[01:23:42] the best is

[01:23:44] um we were being told I would watch the

[01:23:47] news and there would be a death counter

[01:23:49] every single day during the lockdown um

[01:23:52] and we would have this counter almost

[01:23:54] like a countdown of how many people are

[01:23:55] dying and it would be in the corner of

[01:23:57] the screen and it be more and more

[01:23:59] people dying every second. Um, and then

[01:24:01] we were just being fed, look what's

[01:24:03] happening in Italy, look what's

[01:24:04] happening in, um, these different

[01:24:06] places. And it was really traumatizing

[01:24:08] like, um, the, you know, the the footage

[01:24:11] and, you know, we were fed with all of

[01:24:13] these,

[01:24:14] um, you know, someone not being able to

[01:24:16] get into their grandma and, um, you

[01:24:19] know, and then they were making the

[01:24:21] connections that if we don't inject

[01:24:23] oursel with this and we don't social

[01:24:25] distance and we don't wear a mask, then

[01:24:27] we're killing our grandma. Um and so

[01:24:29] they you know they they radicalized us

[01:24:31] and these are psychological operations.

[01:24:34] Um depending on you know whatever your

[01:24:35] belief is leave it just park it there.

[01:24:37] We already Tulsi Gabbard has released

[01:24:39] the documents to say that Fouchi um was

[01:24:42] investing in bioweapons

[01:24:45] um that ended up in the Wuhan lab. So

[01:24:47] whether it whether you believe it was

[01:24:49] manufactured real or whatever it was

[01:24:51] weaponized and it was created um and we

[01:24:54] know that um and so who was that

[01:24:57] weaponized for? Well, you come to your

[01:24:59] own conclusion. We don't need to do

[01:25:00] that. But what I think is really

[01:25:02] interesting is I I remember the day so

[01:25:05] well that um we were being pushed into

[01:25:09] like I think it was probably the fifth

[01:25:11] booster. Um and uh it was getting really

[01:25:15] really tired and like you know the

[01:25:17] number of people that were putting in

[01:25:18] the next jab was just going down and

[01:25:20] down and down and down and down and we

[01:25:22] just hit that saturation point but the

[01:25:24] death counter was going up and up and up

[01:25:26] and the propaganda was up and up and up

[01:25:28] and one day um we were told you don't go

[01:25:31] outside, you social distance, you wear a

[01:25:33] mask, you inject yourself, you need the

[01:25:35] booster um and if you don't do that

[01:25:37] you're a grandma killer. Um, but one

[01:25:41] day, uh, Putin invades Ukraine

[01:25:45] and suddenly we had to all go outside

[01:25:48] and wave Ukrainian flags and say that

[01:25:51] we're defending democracy and guess

[01:25:54] what? We don't need any more injections

[01:25:56] and the crisis is over and the death

[01:25:58] count is going down and down and down.

[01:26:00] Um, and you don't need, you know, don't

[01:26:02] necessarily need to wear your mask

[01:26:04] anymore. But you you you have to

[01:26:07] understand that Putin is Hitler. And uh

[01:26:11] you have to have a Ukrainian flag in

[01:26:13] your social media profile. And you have

[01:26:16] to understand if you're in the UK and

[01:26:19] you're seeing this homelessness, suicide

[01:26:21] rates are highs, um drug addictions,

[01:26:26] um you know, racial and immigration

[01:26:28] tensions at records.

[01:26:32] um all of this, you know, this stuff.

[01:26:35] But the most important thing is that the

[01:26:37] Bank of England prints $3 billion,

[01:26:40] sends it over to Ukraine so that the CIA

[01:26:44] installed Zalinski

[01:26:46] um can dish some of it out and spend it

[01:26:49] back on military equipment to prop up

[01:26:52] the US, UK, German, and French and

[01:26:54] Israeli stock market. And by the way,

[01:26:58] just so happens that uh Paland here is

[01:27:02] beta testing all of its drone

[01:27:05] integrations

[01:27:06] um into uh the you know the drones in

[01:27:11] Ukraine as well as Israel testing

[01:27:14] everything on genocide as a service in

[01:27:16] Pal in Gaza and occupation as a service

[01:27:20] in um West Bank.

[01:27:23] And now let's change the leadership.

[01:27:26] Open borders to closed borders.

[01:27:29] ICE Palunteer.

[01:27:32] The share price goes up in Core Civic

[01:27:34] and GEO Group. Uh now you're radicalized

[01:27:38] into believing that the people over the

[01:27:40] borders are killing you whether it's

[01:27:42] true or not. Um and now we need to close

[01:27:46] the borders. And guess what? Palunteers

[01:27:48] already got the solution. All right. Now

[01:27:50] we have protest domestic terrorism. So

[01:27:53] the color revolution that they were

[01:27:54] using for decades and decades abroad is

[01:27:57] now being used at home and then we get

[01:28:01] documents showing that the CIA

[01:28:03] interfered in you know the the January

[01:28:06] the 6th and various other things. So, we

[01:28:08] know the script. Like, this is getting

[01:28:10] really really tired right now. And and

[01:28:13] if you're like in a cult that's

[01:28:15] perpetuating that, like I'm sorry, you

[01:28:18] are the product that they created. And

[01:28:20] um and sadly the only thing that we can

[01:28:23] do, anyone that's escaped that is try

[01:28:26] and create our own little corner where

[01:28:28] we're immune to those little things and

[01:28:30] we can sit outside the system because

[01:28:32] you believing that belief is serving the

[01:28:35] very power that you think you're

[01:28:37] protesting against.

[01:28:38] There it is.

[01:28:39] Yeah.

[01:28:39] Yeah. So I mean um if if if this is if

[01:28:43] if if the paradigm is that we're

[01:28:45] actually under attack and and of course

[01:28:46] you know they create the crisis always

[01:28:49] to get what they really want installed.

[01:28:50] Right. So right now um you know I think

[01:28:54] 89% of Americans are dead set against

[01:28:56] flock cameras. Doesn't matter. They're

[01:28:58] all going up as fast as they possibly

[01:29:00] can put them in. Right? So it's part of

[01:29:01] that control grid and everything. And I

[01:29:03] think we're going to need it because um

[01:29:05] right now I just checked futures really

[01:29:07] quick and and it turns out wouldn't you

[01:29:09] know it oil's red already even though

[01:29:10] the straight is closed and all of that

[01:29:12] stuff because they've created a

[01:29:13] narrative structure that what you do is

[01:29:15] you sell oil and whether they're

[01:29:16] gooseing that with some Treasury shorts

[01:29:18] or Japan's helping well I don't care

[01:29:20] they've created the narrative structure

[01:29:21] that wow we don't need this stuff but

[01:29:23] here's the reality um this is the big

[01:29:26] four in the United States that's crude S

[01:29:29] plus SPR so that's commercial and SPR

[01:29:31] gasoline distillate jet fuel, right?

[01:29:34] We've never we we're headed towards tank

[01:29:37] bottom. And because they're holding

[01:29:39] prices down, guess what? Demand is up.

[01:29:41] You know, demand is up 2.9%

[01:29:43] year-over-year. More flights, more cars.

[01:29:45] Like, so I think

[01:29:48] they're just going to keep doing this.

[01:29:50] Here's the paradigm. They just keep

[01:29:51] doing this. They keep they hold the

[01:29:52] price of oil too low. Demand remains too

[01:29:54] high relative to supply and eventually

[01:29:56] you run out of supplies. And then they

[01:29:58] go, "Oh no, Simon. Huge emergency.

[01:30:01] Nobody could have seen this coming. Ah,

[01:30:03] you know, we used to do the even odd

[01:30:05] license plate things, but people figured

[01:30:06] out how to game that. You're just going

[01:30:07] to have to download this um your gas

[01:30:09] code, your little QR code. You're you're

[01:30:11] just sorry. You're just going to have to

[01:30:13] like participate in this um digital

[01:30:15] ecosystem to get what you need. And they

[01:30:17] they start doing out energy, right, as

[01:30:21] as the control mechanism. And then they

[01:30:23] get everything they wanted in the first

[01:30:24] place. You don't travel. You live in

[01:30:26] 15-minute cities. You can't afford to

[01:30:28] eat meat. all the stuff they said they

[01:30:29] were going to do happens because of the

[01:30:33] crisis that's about to unfold. And

[01:30:34] that's that's a I think that's kind of

[01:30:37] how I'm seeing it right now. I can feel

[01:30:39] this coming.

[01:30:40] Yeah, I think you got it. Um and you can

[01:30:42] see the beta test like you that's what

[01:30:45] happened in Cuba. That's exactly what

[01:30:47] happened in Cuba. Um you know they they

[01:30:51] manufacture an energy crisis through

[01:30:53] sanctions.

[01:30:55] um they

[01:30:57] uh and then you're downloading an app in

[01:31:00] order to divvy out your access and your

[01:31:02] credits towards energy. Um and then

[01:31:05] they'll move to the next iteration which

[01:31:07] is tokenize it and make it programmable.

[01:31:10] Um and um you know that that World

[01:31:13] Economic Forum vision, they've told us

[01:31:15] everything that they're looking to do

[01:31:18] and they're doing it. They're winning.

[01:31:20] They're not losing. Trump's not draining

[01:31:22] the swamp. that Trump is really filling

[01:31:24] the swamp. Like he really

[01:31:26] turned it into a protected weapon,

[01:31:28] getting rich from it and that's all his

[01:31:29] job is. Fill the swamp and get rich from

[01:31:32] it. That's his job. And then create a

[01:31:34] narrative that feeds the cult.

[01:31:37] Um so that you think that something else

[01:31:39] has happened and eventually you'll be so

[01:31:41] dissatisfied

[01:31:43] that suddenly you'll want JD Vance who

[01:31:46] was groomed by Palanteer and Peter Teal,

[01:31:49] you know. Okay, great. Or you go extreme

[01:31:51] to the left and whoever the next groomed

[01:31:54] that works for the same lobby in a

[01:31:56] different flavor that has a leftleaning

[01:31:59] narrative for the same agenda that was

[01:32:01] pushed by the right leaning freedom

[01:32:03] narrative. And so it's all be you know

[01:32:06] it's all um BS. And if you want to see a

[01:32:09] business plan for what the World

[01:32:11] Economic Forum would like to do, um, a

[01:32:14] while back the Wall Street Journal

[01:32:16] leaked a business plan for what they

[01:32:18] wanted to do to Gaza. Um, and they

[01:32:20] wanted to give the Gaza the Gazins give

[01:32:23] up their land and put it in a trust and

[01:32:26] then they tokenize it and it's managed

[01:32:28] by like Tony Blair and a bunch of

[01:32:31] technocratic um um, you know, Western

[01:32:34] interests.

[01:32:36] Um and uh and you can imagine the price

[01:32:40] manipulation on that token to make sure

[01:32:42] you owe nothing and you're happy. Um and

[01:32:44] what is what is the happy part? The

[01:32:46] happy part is the universal basic

[01:32:48] income. So create unemployment through

[01:32:51] AI. Uh push down the price of goods

[01:32:54] whilst simultaneously pumping the price

[01:32:56] of assets so that you don't own the

[01:32:59] asset but you're just a consumer. the

[01:33:01] price goes down and they give you just

[01:33:03] enough universal basic income to make

[01:33:06] sure that the consumption market doesn't

[01:33:08] fall so that you can pump the share

[01:33:10] valuations. Um and uh and that is the

[01:33:14] UBI that is the the the the AI um world

[01:33:18] that they're trying to get to. Now

[01:33:19] whether they get there or not is another

[01:33:21] thing. Um but if you look at what they

[01:33:23] want to do, just look at that Gaza ban.

[01:33:24] It had Elon Musk data centers. It has

[01:33:27] tokenized land. Um it had um a

[01:33:33] surveillance system um managed by the

[01:33:35] likes of there was an Elon Musk center.

[01:33:39] Um there was a Trump Tower. Um there was

[01:33:43] you know a surveillance system that is

[01:33:46] basically just the personification of

[01:33:48] the control grid. Um and they'd like to

[01:33:52] you you've already got the I think

[01:33:54] they're calling it freedom cities in

[01:33:56] America. Um they're calling them smart

[01:33:59] cities in China.

[01:34:01] Um and uh you can see exactly what they

[01:34:04] want to build. These are the beta tests.

[01:34:06] So it it's there. You know, Palanteer

[01:34:09] was used the annual pilgrimage in Saudi

[01:34:12] Arabia where all the Muslims go,

[01:34:14] millions of Muslims go every year. The

[01:34:17] crowd control was done by Palanteer.

[01:34:20] Um the NHS data, the Department of

[01:34:23] Defense data in the UK, all the

[01:34:25] immigration border uh policies, these

[01:34:27] are all being managed by Allen here. Um

[01:34:30] ICE, Department of Government

[01:34:32] Efficiency. How did how did he do saving

[01:34:34] your money? We did get all your data and

[01:34:36] he centralized all your data. Um and and

[01:34:39] and is it really a coincidence

[01:34:43] that David Sachs from PayPal is the SAR

[01:34:47] and AI, you know, the the crypto and AI

[01:34:49] saw and the only thing you get is stable

[01:34:52] coin policy and tokenization clarity act

[01:34:55] securities. No Bitcoin strategic

[01:34:57] reserve, just a bunch of that. Um and

[01:35:02] Peter Thiel

[01:35:05] after collapsing Silicon Valley Bank

[01:35:07] creates his own bank that's stable

[01:35:08] coins. Um and after getting everyone to

[01:35:12] withdraw their money suddenly rebuilds

[01:35:15] the banking infrastructure and what is

[01:35:17] he doing? Cryptobacked loans. You put

[01:35:19] your crypto as collateral and you get a

[01:35:21] stable coin loan. You have banking

[01:35:23] system that has all the rails. Um, is it

[01:35:26] a coincidence that Beta Tail is

[01:35:28] investing in balance and all the AI

[01:35:31] structure that came from InQel and was

[01:35:35] originally DARPA funded the CIA venture

[01:35:37] arm and the Department of Defense um

[01:35:40] research that that created Palunteer in

[01:35:42] the first place on the state budget? Is

[01:35:46] it a coincidence that Elon Musk was able

[01:35:48] to borrow against his Tesla stock in

[01:35:50] order to acquire X um so that then he

[01:35:53] could get a $1.7 trillion valuation

[01:35:57] um on XAI and Starlink integrated into

[01:36:00] what we're told is a space company where

[01:36:03] if you actually read the S1 filing

[01:36:06] 27 90% of the revenue comes from AI

[01:36:10] infrastructure and and data centers. Um,

[01:36:14] but of course it's a space company, so

[01:36:16] let's invest in space. And now he could

[01:36:19] print in order to buy cursor and all the

[01:36:22] AI programming things at a $2 trillion

[01:36:25] valuation. That's a nice money printer

[01:36:28] to be given a $2 trillion valuation so

[01:36:31] you can spend your stock and acquire

[01:36:32] everything. Um, is it a coincidence that

[01:36:36] Peter Thiel,

[01:36:38] David Saxs,

[01:36:40] um, Reed Hoffman,

[01:36:43] deeply connected to the Epstein files,

[01:36:46] um, Elon Musk,

[01:36:48] they all worked in PayPal,

[01:36:51] seemed to come to our life in a very

[01:36:52] dramatic story. They all seem to create

[01:36:56] businesses from garages and these

[01:36:58] geniuses that have now figured out how

[01:37:00] to be tr now a trillionaire.

[01:37:04] But they seem to be completely dependent

[01:37:06] upon military contracts

[01:37:09] uh financing by the fick um and they're

[01:37:12] building the technology that the the the

[01:37:15] that is privatizing this control grid.

[01:37:18] Pretty coincidental.

[01:37:19] Sounds a lot like Hollywood where once

[01:37:21] you peel that back or the music

[01:37:23] business, you peel that back, you find

[01:37:24] out that there's a lot of talented

[01:37:26] people out there, but the ones who make

[01:37:27] it um had to make some deals with the

[01:37:30] devil as it were. You have to play the

[01:37:32] game and it's a dark game.

[01:37:34] If there's one thing to learn from the

[01:37:35] Epstein files is that there is

[01:37:39] um you know compromise is a tool and we

[01:37:41] know that really we know that from how

[01:37:44] does the mafia work. You know your first

[01:37:46] initiation in the mafia is you got to go

[01:37:48] and cap someone uh because you need to

[01:37:50] demonstrate that you're the type of

[01:37:52] person that's able to climb. And if

[01:37:54] you're at the very top you got the most

[01:37:57] compromise. If you're rising you got

[01:37:59] more compromise. Uh I I experienced that

[01:38:02] just in when I worked in investment

[01:38:04] banking. You know, I I I know I know

[01:38:07] what you needed to do to continue to to

[01:38:10] climb the ladder. Um and I know that

[01:38:13] parties

[01:38:15] sometimes seem like testing, you know,

[01:38:18] whether you're going to eat the apple,

[01:38:20] uh whether you're going to take the

[01:38:21] drug, whether you're going to sleep with

[01:38:23] the prostitute. Um and maybe if you take

[01:38:26] that one, then suddenly everyone gets

[01:38:28] younger and younger. Um, and then if you

[01:38:31] really want to climb the ladder when

[01:38:32] they've already got you half

[01:38:34] compromised,

[01:38:35] you're like, "All right, I'm too deep."

[01:38:37] All this to say is that you can see this

[01:38:39] manufacturing process

[01:38:42] and and and really more of that has been

[01:38:44] exposed to us. Um, and um, yeah, it's

[01:38:49] it's how power works.

[01:38:52] Mhm. Probably always has, probably will

[01:38:54] for a long time. Um, but given all that,

[01:38:57] you mentioned some before, like this is

[01:38:58] kind of exhausting. It wears a lot of

[01:39:00] people down. I've been hearing that more

[01:39:01] and more from people in my own tribe

[01:39:03] that like, oh jeez, this is we don't

[01:39:05] know what to believe anymore. So that's

[01:39:07] when fifth generation warfare is fully

[01:39:08] effective. You don't even believe your

[01:39:09] own self anymore, right? Um but you

[01:39:12] know, so we have major trust issues.

[01:39:15] Like I used to be able to trust data,

[01:39:17] you know, at least minimally. Like okay,

[01:39:18] if the EIA says there's this many

[01:39:20] barrels in storage, I just showed a

[01:39:21] chart before. Now I don't know any like

[01:39:24] I really don't know at this point. So,

[01:39:26] so that's that's sort of disorienting,

[01:39:29] right? And and then it's just this

[01:39:31] non-stop slop that, you know, they they

[01:39:33] put out these narratives that are just

[01:39:34] completely junk, right? You know,

[01:39:36] Charlie Kirk was shot with a 30 odd six

[01:39:38] right in the soft part of the throat.

[01:39:39] Neck of steel, right? It's just slop,

[01:39:41] right? It doesn't comport with like

[01:39:42] basic physics like 9/11. Just that's

[01:39:45] that's a non-stop physics violation,

[01:39:47] right? Um that storyline. So, it's all

[01:39:49] exhausting. How do you how do you combat

[01:39:51] that? And and how do you how do you how

[01:39:53] do you live your life given all that?

[01:39:56] Uh yeah, I I think it's um a constant

[01:39:58] challenge and then if you add to that,

[01:40:00] if you're like on the bread line of

[01:40:02] financial stress, which most people are,

[01:40:04] then these are really um traumatizing

[01:40:06] times. Um

[01:40:08] um I think um I think I try and draw

[01:40:12] back to what do I believe in? Um and you

[01:40:16] got to get to a place where you you kind

[01:40:19] of have your own beliefs and and you

[01:40:21] you're able to question. Um so start

[01:40:24] with something. real. Well, touch grass.

[01:40:28] Turns out that when I look out in the

[01:40:30] garden, the world doesn't seem quite as

[01:40:32] scary as when I open X.

[01:40:35] When when I open X, the world seems like

[01:40:37] a really bad place. But when I sit out

[01:40:38] in the garden, I don't see people

[01:40:40] killing each other. I don't see these

[01:40:42] things. You know what I mean? So, touch

[01:40:44] cross. Um, you got to get yourself into

[01:40:49] into your own reality. And then you ask,

[01:40:51] well, what's real? Well, I think I own

[01:40:55] that money in the bank account, but I

[01:40:57] know that this cash probably not letting

[01:41:00] me spend it anymore, and that's where

[01:41:01] it's going. But the hairdresser still

[01:41:04] accepts this. I can still get a haircut.

[01:41:07] Um, and they don't probably want to pay

[01:41:09] anything on it, and they'd rather have

[01:41:10] some cash. Uh, and um, you know, where's

[01:41:15] my savings? Well, I I know most people,

[01:41:17] well, I can touch this bar of gold, you

[01:41:20] know. Um, I got to figure out the

[01:41:21] challenge of how to store it and

[01:41:24] hopefully I don't end up storing it with

[01:41:25] someone else and that goes wrong. But if

[01:41:27] I have to store it with someone else,

[01:41:29] what's the best amount of legal

[01:41:31] protection? Um, but can I hold this

[01:41:34] gold? Um, maybe you don't, but you know,

[01:41:37] I've studied Bitcoin enough to say that

[01:41:40] I trust how that structure works. And so

[01:41:43] I know I've got that Bitcoin. Um, and I

[01:41:46] know that I I know enough about it to

[01:41:48] say that I own that and no one can take

[01:41:51] it away unless they try and wrench

[01:41:52] attack me and kill me. So, how do I

[01:41:55] create some security around me? Well,

[01:41:57] um, actually, what really matters in the

[01:41:59] end? Um, is that, you know, it's going

[01:42:04] to be firstly the mental game, me, the

[01:42:08] health game. I need a healthy vassel.

[01:42:12] Um, and uh, I probably need a good

[01:42:15] relationship for me. You know, I've been

[01:42:18] married for um, a long time and it's

[01:42:21] probably the best thing that um, has

[01:42:23] supported me through the trials and

[01:42:25] tribulations. So, what are they trying

[01:42:26] to do? They're trying to make men and

[01:42:28] women hate each other. They're trying to

[01:42:30] confuse people whether you are a man or

[01:42:31] not, whether you are a woman or not. I

[01:42:34] mean, things are just getting weirder

[01:42:35] and weirder to make sure that you don't

[01:42:37] just have a nice family. You know, we're

[01:42:39] probably going to have to figure out to

[01:42:41] have some children. It looks like the

[01:42:43] replacement rates are making us extinct.

[01:42:47] We're probably going to have to build a

[01:42:49] family, but guess what? They tried to

[01:42:50] make it unaffordable, so you couldn't

[01:42:52] have one.

[01:42:53] Um, and so these are real decisions that

[01:42:56] people have to make. But, you know, at

[01:42:59] the basics is how do I earn my income?

[01:43:01] Am I am I dependent upon one source of

[01:43:03] income? What happens if that goes away?

[01:43:05] How can I start to increase my income?

[01:43:07] How can I start to hedge out a bit? How

[01:43:10] can I focus on that once I got my

[01:43:11] income? Am I spending less than I earn?

[01:43:14] Am I investing the difference? Because

[01:43:16] the only thing that's going to help you

[01:43:18] beat this cycle is buying more assets

[01:43:20] every month. And then you have to decide

[01:43:22] which assets that becomes a new

[01:43:24] challenge. But if you don't have assets,

[01:43:27] you're not in the game. You're losing.

[01:43:29] This is the rules. Um um so you make

[01:43:33] sure you're you're you're getting more

[01:43:34] assets each month. You're spending less

[01:43:36] than you earn. may even need to decide

[01:43:39] what happens if I don't pay that debt. I

[01:43:41] can't make that decision for you.

[01:43:43] There's consequences, but some people

[01:43:45] are in a position they can never get out

[01:43:47] of and maybe bankruptcy is the right

[01:43:49] decision. Who knows? Um, but uh you you

[01:43:53] got to think about what what's right for

[01:43:55] you and then what's right for your

[01:43:56] family and then you look around you and

[01:43:58] you say, "What's right for our

[01:44:00] community?" Um, is that farmer going

[01:44:03] bankrupt? Because then I'd probably like

[01:44:05] some meat, you know, or I'd probably

[01:44:07] like some vegetables that that that are

[01:44:09] not injected with poison. Whatever your

[01:44:11] whatever your health understanding is,

[01:44:14] you come to your conclusion. So maybe I

[01:44:16] need to support the people around me.

[01:44:18] Maybe we can just cut out a few of these

[01:44:20] big companies and and maybe create some

[01:44:22] parallel supply chains. Maybe we could

[01:44:25] all buy a bit of food together and uh

[01:44:27] and buy it from a local farmer with good

[01:44:29] produce and we'll figure out how to

[01:44:31] support that because I know the big

[01:44:33] supermarket chain wants to take them

[01:44:35] out. Um and just try and get as

[01:44:38] localized and communitydriven as you

[01:44:40] possibly can. Um and then look at your

[01:44:43] AI and say is there a way I can I guess

[01:44:46] I at the moment I'm choosing between the

[01:44:48] American stack and the Chinese stack.

[01:44:50] Chinese stack let me go open source.

[01:44:52] maybe over the years I can work with

[01:44:54] someone to build my own decentralized

[01:44:57] infrastructure as well as run nodes and

[01:44:59] have my own financial systems and and

[01:45:02] you just work through it and and what

[01:45:03] I'd say is

[01:45:05] they want you driven towards urgency.

[01:45:08] They they the the the scops are making

[01:45:10] you think you need to earn all your

[01:45:12] money now and you need to gamble and you

[01:45:14] need to invest in the next crypto um and

[01:45:17] you need to borrow against it and you

[01:45:18] need to do it with leverage and you need

[01:45:20] to engage in the futures market every or

[01:45:22] I need to borrow against and I need to

[01:45:24] lever up. All of those mechanisms are

[01:45:26] trying to drive you to a shorter time

[01:45:29] frame you know and forget the long term.

[01:45:33] And so you need to remind yourself that

[01:45:35] actually the world's not it. Although we

[01:45:37] got these big things and things are

[01:45:39] blowing up. Um as long as I can create

[01:45:42] my own environment in a way where I'm

[01:45:44] okay, then maybe I can exit some of that

[01:45:46] and build a 10-year plan because you're

[01:45:48] going to need a 10-year plan. You know,

[01:45:50] from where you are right now, write it

[01:45:52] down. Uh and as long as you're buying

[01:45:55] more assets every month and you're

[01:45:57] you're you're working, am I getting wor

[01:45:59] am I getting worse off or better off?

[01:46:02] and and and there's no there's no quick

[01:46:03] solution. There's no quick fix. They're

[01:46:05] going to try and make you think, you

[01:46:06] know, get rich quick or whatever it may

[01:46:08] be. All of these things are they just

[01:46:11] don't work. There's no substitute for

[01:46:13] for the longer term plan and and

[01:46:15] thinking longer term and and that's the

[01:46:18] challenge today. Um you do have to set

[01:46:22] an environment for yourself where there

[01:46:24] is a brighter future and and you need to

[01:46:27] be real. You need to see the world as it

[01:46:29] is, but not worse than it is or better

[01:46:30] than it is. Um, and um, and once you've

[01:46:34] got that realism, I think you just need

[01:46:36] a plan for what your life look like and

[01:46:38] what you can do. Um, a and just get

[01:46:42] yourself a nice mentoring community and

[01:46:44] group of people that are kind of all

[01:46:46] going to do that with you and share the

[01:46:48] right information. And I I see it in

[01:46:50] myself. I got to get that balance right.

[01:46:52] Am I being overly negative, overly, you

[01:46:55] know, positive here? uh we want to get

[01:46:57] that balance and uh I don't know that's

[01:46:59] that's all I can give you really.

[01:47:01] I I love it. It's um I I think the the

[01:47:04] compilation of that is um become

[01:47:06] decentralized, you know, and and um

[01:47:09] that's what I've been doing in my own

[01:47:10] life. I I work on um the planning board.

[01:47:13] Um probably run for select board again.

[01:47:15] Um just getting much more involved

[01:47:17] locally. Um, and uh, it's really what

[01:47:21] Luke Roman says. It's I kind of have the

[01:47:23] the 15th century German mercantalist,

[01:47:25] the Yakob Fuger portfolio, you know, 25%

[01:47:28] gold or silver, um, 25% real estate, 25%

[01:47:32] cash, you know, hold just wait and see

[01:47:34] liquidity, and then 25% what he called

[01:47:37] um, we would call stocks, but he he

[01:47:39] called um, investments in high-quality

[01:47:41] companies. Um, and so for me, that's

[01:47:43] that's on the energy side. Um, I really

[01:47:45] love natural gas here in the United

[01:47:47] States at this point. Um, but from the

[01:47:49] production side, um, I wouldn't own an

[01:47:52] LG company to save my life because I

[01:47:53] think they're they're going to get

[01:47:54] shafted. Longer story, but I think

[01:47:56] that's about right. You know, like and

[01:47:57] and and the other thing I got from Luke

[01:47:59] Roman was, you know what, you do that

[01:48:01] and you just have to be mentally

[01:48:02] prepared. You're going to lose some

[01:48:03] soldiers, right? I think part of that

[01:48:05] mindset they try and get us invested in,

[01:48:08] you know, in on Wall Street is you have

[01:48:10] to be winning all the time, right? And

[01:48:13] you just can't do that in this

[01:48:14] environment. The risks are unknown. It's

[01:48:17] going to be a fairly chaotic outcome.

[01:48:19] And so that's what I've, you know, I'm

[01:48:21] mentally prepared to wake up one day and

[01:48:23] find out I can no longer access those

[01:48:24] fantasy digits in my bank account. You

[01:48:26] know, might happen, you know,

[01:48:29] and I think we all end up um back on

[01:48:32] the, you know, the spiritual path. I'm

[01:48:35] not I'm not here to tell you what your

[01:48:36] spiritual path is, but I'm clear about,

[01:48:40] you know, who I work for and who the

[01:48:41] ultimate creator is and and my ideology

[01:48:44] around that. But I think I think in the

[01:48:46] end like to to to manage this transition

[01:48:49] because it is a transition. We're in a

[01:48:51] the world that we have been brought up

[01:48:53] in is not the world that we're moving

[01:48:55] towards. So we are this is change. Um

[01:48:57] and with change is opportunity and and

[01:49:00] destruction. Um so we are going through

[01:49:03] that. So, just recognize it. Um, and in

[01:49:06] the end, it's it's going to be your

[01:49:09] your spiritual

[01:49:12] connection to whatever is right for you.

[01:49:15] Um, in terms of a higher purpose that's

[01:49:17] going to get you through that. And, um,

[01:49:20] and that internal game is is something

[01:49:22] that, you know, we all we all need to I

[01:49:24] I I believe that is it becomes

[01:49:26] increasingly more important. And I'm

[01:49:28] definitely not here to tell you what you

[01:49:30] should believe in there. Um, but but I

[01:49:32] know what I believe in air. and that's

[01:49:33] what's going to get me through these

[01:49:34] changes.

[01:49:36] I totally agree. It's it's um I've been

[01:49:38] getting more and more spiritual about

[01:49:40] everything and and um uh it's it was

[01:49:42] been a huge help for me. Uh I grew up

[01:49:46] religious light, you know, Easter,

[01:49:48] Christmas in the church. That was about

[01:49:49] it. But didn't never never was taken

[01:49:52] through reading the Bible. So I started

[01:49:54] reading the Bible and first off it's

[01:49:55] just a history text. I'm like, "Oh my

[01:49:57] gosh, Simon, humans have done this over

[01:49:59] and over again." Like this the same

[01:50:01] thing, right? Romans is just like reads

[01:50:03] like today, you know, in some sections.

[01:50:06] Um, so, so it helped connect me with the

[01:50:09] idea that that we're going through a a

[01:50:10] cycle right now. And when you go through

[01:50:13] these cycles, like I have a lot of goals

[01:50:15] in life, but my number one goal that

[01:50:18] sits under all of them is I don't want

[01:50:20] to lose my humanity. And I feel like the

[01:50:22] bids for attention on X, it it's really

[01:50:25] just there to dehumanize everything. um

[01:50:28] and get us fighting with each other and

[01:50:30] and to see the enemies on a on a

[01:50:33] horizontal structure when in fact

[01:50:35] probably should be um looking in a more

[01:50:37] vertical structure and and so it's just

[01:50:39] it's just you know divide and conquer

[01:50:41] right but they're I feel like they're

[01:50:42] dividing us not only from each other but

[01:50:44] dividing me from within myself from self

[01:50:47] right so I can sort of recognize that if

[01:50:49] I put a term on it the most catch-all

[01:50:51] collective term that works really well

[01:50:52] if I need just one is evil right what is

[01:50:56] evil like it likes to destroy, degrade,

[01:50:59] debos,

[01:51:01] death. It just likes to break stuff, you

[01:51:04] know. And so when I watch like how

[01:51:07] Israel participates, you know, when it

[01:51:09] goes into a country, it it's just it

[01:51:11] just, you know, it the crystallizing

[01:51:14] moment where I was just like was

[01:51:16] watching there was this beautiful

[01:51:18] restaurant some family had owned for

[01:51:20] generations and it was shaped like a

[01:51:21] boat and it was a popular tourist

[01:51:22] destination. It was just like it was

[01:51:24] beautiful. Well, they just planted

[01:51:25] charges in it and blew it up and filmed

[01:51:27] it and put it online. You know why? Cuz

[01:51:29] it was destructive. It was just an act

[01:51:31] of evil destruction. Pointless

[01:51:33] destruction. And that's what they want

[01:51:35] to telegraph to the world is like this

[01:51:37] is this is how we're going to behave,

[01:51:39] right? Um and then uh the point of that

[01:51:42] is the point of that is to show you

[01:51:45] they're just here to destroy, right? and

[01:51:47] then watching my own country do the same

[01:51:49] sorts of things and adopt the same sort

[01:51:50] of tactics and and all of that, it just

[01:51:52] it's it's demoralizing and that's what I

[01:51:55] have to fight against because of all the

[01:51:56] D's that I think evil engages in,

[01:51:58] demoralization is is probably the most

[01:52:00] insidious. Um because that's different

[01:52:02] than depression. When you're

[01:52:03] demoralized, your your psycho spiritual

[01:52:06] self has been attacked. Your cognitive

[01:52:08] map of how things should happen and

[01:52:10] what's unfolding around you don't line

[01:52:12] up. You know, you're a tiger in a cage,

[01:52:14] right? It's demoralizing. Um, and what I

[01:52:17] recommend is that you, you know, most

[01:52:20] people like probably chose to read the

[01:52:23] Bible because of their background. And

[01:52:25] so I' I'd encourage people to,

[01:52:28] um, if you've read the Bible, um, then

[01:52:32] also read the Torah because they want

[01:52:35] you to think that the Jews are those

[01:52:38] radical Zionists in Israel. And also

[01:52:41] read the Quran because they want you to

[01:52:44] believe that those that follow the

[01:52:46] Quran, the Muslims are ISIS. Um, and

[01:52:51] also read the BVad Gita or whatever it

[01:52:54] may be because they want you to believe

[01:52:55] that all those Indians and Hindus are

[01:52:58] those crazy people that we get, I'm sure

[01:53:00] you get them across your feed that are

[01:53:02] beating women and and engaging in all

[01:53:04] these crimes against humanity.

[01:53:07] um they they are making those

[01:53:09] connections and they and you are you're

[01:53:13] probably I tell you when when I read

[01:53:15] those scriptures and those books

[01:53:18] um for example like when I read the

[01:53:20] Quran I realized so everything I've been

[01:53:22] told that was in the Quran isn't

[01:53:23] actually in the Quran it was in other

[01:53:25] texts and those other texts were

[01:53:27] actually connected to politics and those

[01:53:31] political Islam is actually completely

[01:53:33] different to that book and the Quran And

[01:53:36] then the translations were changed over

[01:53:39] time and manipulated over time and and

[01:53:41] it just it you know I'm not saying this

[01:53:43] is

[01:53:45] we're overwhelmed with things to do but

[01:53:46] all I'm saying is in order to not end up

[01:53:50] blaming the other uh try and understand

[01:53:53] the scop that has been implanted upon

[01:53:55] the other. Uh because you know what

[01:53:59] we're witnessing in Israel with these

[01:54:00] radical Zionists

[01:54:02] is not necessarily what people that

[01:54:05] practice Judaism

[01:54:08] want you to believe about how they are.

[01:54:10] Uh and that's the same here. Um and so

[01:54:14] you know this this is the game. We have

[01:54:15] to have a higher level of in of um of

[01:54:18] intelligence or empathy. And once you

[01:54:21] recognize the sc you you got to you you

[01:54:23] start questioning why do I believe that?

[01:54:26] Who who told me that? Where did that

[01:54:28] come from? You know, and so that's

[01:54:31] that's what I say again. We gone very

[01:54:33] off

[01:54:35] uh finance and geopolitics. But hey,

[01:54:37] what what are we on earth to do here if

[01:54:39] it's not for uh you know build a build a

[01:54:42] rel a better relationship between our

[01:54:45] humanity, our creator and the spirit?

[01:54:48] Well, I agree. And to me, I just like to

[01:54:50] I I like to have as clear a view of of

[01:54:52] the actual circumstances so I understand

[01:54:54] what I'm up against, right? And so so I

[01:54:57] happen to think that um a number of

[01:55:00] those radical Zionists you're talking

[01:55:02] about, they're not religious at all.

[01:55:04] They are psychopaths who've hijacked a a

[01:55:07] particular structure for their own, you

[01:55:09] know, evil tiny ends. But corporations

[01:55:12] become psychopathic in their construct

[01:55:14] as well with that dark triad, right? you

[01:55:16] know, they they just just how that

[01:55:18] short-term money focus drives you. And

[01:55:21] and my my my core conclusion is that if

[01:55:23] we're going to if we really want to fix

[01:55:24] things,

[01:55:26] money could be should be a neutral

[01:55:28] medium of exchange, but it's it's not.

[01:55:30] We have a corrupt money system. And by

[01:55:32] corrupt, I mean it's corrupt if you or I

[01:55:34] could sit down in a room and decide to

[01:55:36] steal from everybody through this

[01:55:38] process of inflation while enriching a

[01:55:40] few people because we have the system of

[01:55:42] money by its very design is corrupt. And

[01:55:44] I don't think Simon, you could put as

[01:55:46] many laws, rules, regulations, penalties

[01:55:49] around that and it's going to still be

[01:55:51] corrupt and corrupting because at its

[01:55:54] core it's it's it's a corrupt system,

[01:55:56] right?

[01:55:58] Yeah. No, I completely agree. And the

[01:55:59] the the at the core in its simplest

[01:56:03] denomination,

[01:56:05] fiat currency is a debt and a debt has

[01:56:08] interest. the money to pay the interest

[01:56:11] doesn't exist unless you issue a new

[01:56:14] loan. And at the root of the whole

[01:56:17] thing, that brings us to where we are

[01:56:19] today. And you roll that over and roll

[01:56:22] that over until it can no longer be

[01:56:24] rolled over. And then you reset the game

[01:56:25] and you play it somewhere else. Um, and

[01:56:28] so, you know, the the the monetary

[01:56:31] system

[01:56:33] has all of these consequences that drive

[01:56:37] behavior

[01:56:38] that brings us to where we are. And so,

[01:56:42] having fought that battle for it was

[01:56:46] um my father lost all his money in the

[01:56:48] docom boom and bust and he asked me to

[01:56:51] figure out what happened to his money

[01:56:52] because he didn't know. And that was 26

[01:56:55] years ago. Um, and in the 26 years of

[01:56:58] doing, it's quite sad really, doing

[01:57:00] nothing but obsess over trying to figure

[01:57:04] out everything about all of these

[01:57:06] different monetary topics and where they

[01:57:08] take you. um for the last 26 years. Um

[01:57:12] whether it be politics, whether it be

[01:57:14] creating a business, whether it be

[01:57:16] trying to start a bank, whether it be

[01:57:17] involved in Bitcoin, whether it be um

[01:57:20] you know trying to change the system in

[01:57:22] any type of way, I've kind of come to

[01:57:24] the conclusion

[01:57:27] um that I'm not sure if we can fix it.

[01:57:30] Um and but what does that mean? Because

[01:57:35] when you're faced with a Ponzi scheme,

[01:57:38] imagine the the behavior that that

[01:57:40] drives you to, right? If you're faced

[01:57:41] with a Ponzi scheme, there's a couple of

[01:57:44] ways you can go. One is you can just

[01:57:46] call it out and then you lose your money

[01:57:48] cuz the whole thing blows up. Or you

[01:57:51] could find yourself in a position where,

[01:57:54] well, maybe I could just bring in

[01:57:55] another investor and then I can get out.

[01:57:59] And that that decision

[01:58:02] is kind of the decision that we all

[01:58:04] make. And here's here's my thinking.

[01:58:08] Um, I don't think we I think our our

[01:58:10] time on Earth I think we try to fix

[01:58:12] things, but I don't think we do fix

[01:58:14] things because I think that ying and

[01:58:16] yang, that good and bad, that evil um is

[01:58:20] is is what the world is about actually.

[01:58:23] And um we're tested and when we're

[01:58:26] presented with evil, do we respond with

[01:58:28] more evil or do we respond with more

[01:58:32] good? And and my belief is that when

[01:58:34] you're presented with good and you're

[01:58:36] presented with evil and you put more

[01:58:38] good in, you get more good out. Um, and

[01:58:41] every time I've looked at my life and

[01:58:43] and I've done that thing that I knew I

[01:58:45] shouldn't do, but it was questionable.

[01:58:48] That's cost me 10 times more than that

[01:58:50] decision initially. And every time I

[01:58:52] look back and I say that was a really

[01:58:55] hard decision. Like I went down the

[01:58:56] right path, but that was a really hard

[01:58:59] decision to make. like 10 years later, I

[01:59:01] look back at that and say that was the

[01:59:03] key defining moment of my life. The

[01:59:06] reason I made that decision and that's

[01:59:08] why I am here today. And so I that's

[01:59:11] what I think life is. I think it's a

[01:59:13] test and um you're presented with more

[01:59:16] good and more bad. And uh and we're

[01:59:18] humans. We're invaluable. Sometimes we

[01:59:20] go down the dark path and we need to

[01:59:22] correct it. Um and we know it. It's in

[01:59:25] it's internal. We know when we're doing

[01:59:26] wrong. We know when we're doing good.

[01:59:29] But but sometimes you trick yourself

[01:59:32] into believing

[01:59:35] something like a radical Zionist or

[01:59:38] someone in ISIS that they may not know

[01:59:41] that they're a useful idiot for a

[01:59:42] greater power structure and they're

[01:59:44] performing a role that they don't

[01:59:45] understand they're performing normally

[01:59:47] by the CIA or MSAD or MI6 or something.

[01:59:51] Um but somehow they got themselves in a

[01:59:55] position where they said me betraying

[01:59:59] the ten commandments

[02:00:02] or me betraying the five pillars

[02:00:05] is okay and I'm still just going to go

[02:00:08] out and kill people because I've

[02:00:11] persuaded myself that I'm doing God's

[02:00:14] work in some way and these are going to

[02:00:16] be offset and how they got themselves in

[02:00:19] that position um is what we need to make

[02:00:23] sure never happens to us cuz we we know

[02:00:26] when you've pushed yourself down a path

[02:00:28] then you start justifying your actions

[02:00:30] and then you're but you knew it was

[02:00:32] wrong and then you suddenly your lie

[02:00:35] becomes so big that you end up believing

[02:00:37] your and then you become a

[02:00:39] person that you you were not born to be.

[02:00:42] Um, and uh, and we need more people that

[02:00:44] are back to their their their spirit and

[02:00:46] their soul of I I personally believe

[02:00:49] that we were all born good people and we

[02:00:51] got radicalized into a different version

[02:00:53] of oursel and you can dradicalize

[02:00:56] yourself. Um, I don't think we were born

[02:00:58] evil. I do think there are evil forces.

[02:01:01] Um, but I think all humans were born

[02:01:04] good. I think every child was born good

[02:01:07] and somehow they got radicalized into

[02:01:09] something that is not them and we need

[02:01:11] to get back to who we actually are.

[02:01:14] Well, we'll need um proper proper

[02:01:16] mentors, proper guides, um role models,

[02:01:19] etc. You know, there's precious few of

[02:01:20] them out there right now. Um

[02:01:22] politically, I I can't hardly think of

[02:01:24] any. Um but but what you said is is

[02:01:27] absolutely true in my life that that the

[02:01:28] thing I do that's really hard, right? Um

[02:01:32] when when I look back that was always

[02:01:34] that was that's why I'm here today right

[02:01:36] so so in the Bible it would be you know

[02:01:38] the path to righteousness is narrow by

[02:01:40] which I think I interpret that to mean

[02:01:42] that evil is kind of like the default

[02:01:45] setting it it's not like this thing you

[02:01:47] have to actively choose although people

[02:01:48] can do that but that's like if if you

[02:01:51] don't examine things you you just end up

[02:01:53] down that path and it's it's always that

[02:01:55] little it's that little process of

[02:01:57] co-option they don't just ask you to

[02:01:59] line people up and shoot them in the

[02:02:00] back of the head in ditch on day one.

[02:02:02] There's a little it's like you said

[02:02:03] those parties you went to, you know,

[02:02:05] like there there's it's it's a it's a

[02:02:07] corrupting process, right? I think

[02:02:10] that's actually easy. That corrupting

[02:02:12] process harder is saying no, doing the

[02:02:14] right thing, speaking up when it's, you

[02:02:16] know, as I tell people, the time to

[02:02:18] speak up is when it's hardest. It's easy

[02:02:21] after the fact. Like everybody can be a

[02:02:23] co jab critic now because, okay, we all

[02:02:25] saw that was a bad idea, but at the

[02:02:27] time, oh, that was hard, right? And so,

[02:02:30] you know, the people who did stand up

[02:02:32] and and said that out loud, um, some of

[02:02:35] them, many of them lost their jobs, lost

[02:02:38] their livelihoods, lost their houses,

[02:02:40] you know, as a consequence. But they

[02:02:42] were saying what they believe cuz you,

[02:02:44] like you said, you you know, they they

[02:02:45] knew for themselves like, "No, this

[02:02:46] isn't this isn't right. Not

[02:02:48] participating."

[02:02:50] That's hard. But courage is contagious.

[02:02:52] So, we need more people who who are

[02:02:53] willing to say the hard stuff, you know,

[02:02:55] when it's when it's needed.

[02:02:57] Yeah, I completely agree with And that's

[02:02:59] been my experience. Like it was really

[02:03:01] hard to talk about what was happening in

[02:03:04] Palestine on October the 7th. Now it's

[02:03:07] really easy to talk about it.

[02:03:08] Um it was really hard to talk about

[02:03:10] Ukraine and Russia, you know, in 2022.

[02:03:14] Now it's pretty easy to talk about it.

[02:03:16] But yeah, and you notice it. you go back

[02:03:18] and you look and you're like and and you

[02:03:21] see those people that rewrite history,

[02:03:23] you know, they they come out they come

[02:03:25] out two years later and then they say,

[02:03:27] "Yeah, I you know, I was always pro

[02:03:29] Palestinian or anti-Israel or I was

[02:03:32] always um you know, you you see the the

[02:03:35] rewriters of history." But yeah, it is

[02:03:38] the the hardest time

[02:03:41] um is in the moment when it is the

[02:03:43] hardest. Like, you know, if you're

[02:03:46] talking about Israel on October the 7th,

[02:03:49] that was hard. That that got me that got

[02:03:52] me blocked. That got me, you know,

[02:03:54] debanged. That got me um hated. That got

[02:03:58] me uh that that had significant

[02:04:00] consequences

[02:04:02] um in terms of my personal network and

[02:04:05] what people thought about me. But mo a

[02:04:09] lot of them came back a couple of years

[02:04:11] later and said hey let's talk about

[02:04:13] Israel and suddenly they're talking

[02:04:15] about Israel now. So it is definitely

[02:04:18] there is a very very difficult time to

[02:04:20] do it and that's the time when it's most

[02:04:22] most impactful. Um and it's very

[02:04:25] rewarding a couple of years later when

[02:04:27] someone kind of comes back to you and

[02:04:29] says hey Simon I really judged you on

[02:04:32] that. I thought you were really evil. In

[02:04:34] fact, like cuz I just had no idea what

[02:04:36] was happening.

[02:04:38] I had no idea. And now and and now I get

[02:04:40] it. And thank you for uh you know

[02:04:43] bringing it to my attention cuz it it

[02:04:46] took me a long time to really figure out

[02:04:49] that everything I thought was a lie.

[02:04:52] that went off like a bomb in my at that

[02:04:54] time I was still very deeply invested in

[02:04:56] in the COVID community, you know, and we

[02:04:58] had all these different independent

[02:04:59] researchers and then some of them turned

[02:05:01] out were just like they're they were

[02:05:02] Jewish or um you know really pro- Israel

[02:05:05] and they're just like Chris you have to

[02:05:06] condemn Hamas. You have to like no I

[02:05:10] don't really have to I don't that alone

[02:05:12] was was an insufferable insult. I was

[02:05:14] like, you know, because

[02:05:18] I knew I I know enough about I know how

[02:05:20] well defended that border is. Six hours

[02:05:22] without a response is is not possible,

[02:05:25] right? You know, steel frame buildings

[02:05:27] do not collapse due to fire alone. Um

[02:05:29] there's just certain things you just

[02:05:30] know. You know, I will I can't go

[02:05:32] against what I know to be true because

[02:05:34] that's my reality,

[02:05:36] you know. And it's fairly obvious that

[02:05:39] those that are going to benefit from

[02:05:41] rebuilding Gaza had an interest in

[02:05:44] destroying Gaza.

[02:05:46] Yeah. God, we could keep going, but I

[02:05:48] I've kept you long enough here. Um it's

[02:05:51] just fantastic conversation. Thank you

[02:05:52] so much for your your time, your

[02:05:54] insights. Um very generous with both

[02:05:56] here today. And um so where do people

[02:06:00] follow you? What what how should they

[02:06:02] stay in touch? Uh yeah, so I I give

[02:06:05] real-time updates on um X at Simon Dixon

[02:06:08] Twit is where I spend a bunch of my

[02:06:10] time. Um when I'm not touching grass and

[02:06:12] I want to be radicalized.

[02:06:14] Um and uh and then what I try and do as

[02:06:17] a discipline on my YouTube channel,

[02:06:19] Simon Dixon 21. It's it's very geeky,

[02:06:22] but I go for like two to four hours

[02:06:24] every Friday. Uh where I go through

[02:06:26] everything that happened this week and

[02:06:28] and my alternative interpretation of it.

[02:06:31] um and uh you know kind of uh make some

[02:06:34] predictions and analyze what I got

[02:06:37] wrong. Um and so if you're you can

[02:06:40] subscribe to me on YouTube there. Uh and

[02:06:42] then because it's such a big brain dump

[02:06:45] and I talk for a long time and I don't

[02:06:47] know how to do things quickly. Um I I I

[02:06:50] chuck it all into AI on simonix.com.

[02:06:54] Um, and then it creates very nice blogs

[02:06:56] and um, five minute videos that says

[02:06:59] what took me four hours to say. Um, or

[02:07:02] or a 20-minute video. And so I publish

[02:07:04] all those on simonixon.com cuz uh, one

[02:07:07] day I may um, not be allowed to use

[02:07:10] YouTube or not be allowed to use X. So I

[02:07:13] make sure I back it all up and and

[02:07:14] document it.

[02:07:16] Fantastic. Well, thanks again and thank

[02:07:18] you everybody for listening. If you want

[02:07:20] to follow more, go to those sites. We'll

[02:07:22] have them listed down below. And

[02:07:24] otherwise, love to see your comments

[02:07:25] about all of this because we covered a

[02:07:27] lot of territory and these are big times

[02:07:29] and we are all navigating them together.

[02:07:32] So until next time, bye for now.
