Yes, sure. I mean, I've done nothing but obsess over the topic of money and who benefits from

the creation of money for the last 25 years. My journey started when my father lost his entire

retirement in the Dock on Boomba bus, so 25 years ago and he worked his whole life, lost it all

in the market and asked me to figure out where it went. So that kind of kicked off an obsession.

Try to figure it out at university, did like a master's in economics, still didn't get the

answers. So I tried to get into the investment bank and figure out how money really worked.

Got a job as a tea boy, ended up as a stock broker, figured out the, all right, we're here just to

sell stocks. It doesn't matter whether it's wrong or right. Ended up in the city of London, work

as a market maker, realized that our job is to manipulate the prices of shares and when we have

institutional traders, our job is to find the retail to dump it onto. And then started working

in corporate finance at the investment bank and realized this whole process of financialising

and securitising companies means that you end up becoming a cog in a wheel of what I call a

financial industrial complex. And in fact, finances used for subordination, almost like a black

metal leverage operation like we've seen. And also the war is a racket. And that's, you know,

often when you're writing business plans around where war zones are going to be, where war zones

aren't going to be, it turns out that these financial institutions have a significant degree of

influence in it. So that was my corporate career. Now you said something really powerful there.

And I want to, before you go further, I want to talk specifically about your experience because

there is an experience that the average American or not even just American people around the world

know about how financial systems work. But then you were deeply embedded in seeing how things

operate behind the scene. So behind the curtain, behind the curtain. Yeah, that's, that's what Rex

and I want, want to understand specifically in the average person, what's really happening behind

scenes that people misunderstand. Yeah. So I talked about this concept of a financial

industrial complex. And it consists of different institutions that plug together in order to

turn all companies and all investors into as much subordination as they possibly can.

So firstly, you know, we all know that banks, retail banks, their Wizard of Oz skill is that

they get to create fear currency. So every time they issue alone, they actually create, you know,

they create new money, new fear currency. The vast majority of fear currency is created by a retail

bank. The problem is it has interest on top to be rebade. And so when you want to, when you need to

repay that interest, you either invest it in a productive asset that goes up in value or you find

someone else to take on the debt effectively retail banking is a debt based Ponzi scheme.

And because it's a Ponzi scheme, it is guaranteed by the central bank. So the banks take the risk,

they get to create the fear currency, they get the cheap, the cheapest interest rates. And then

they're able to effectively turn every individual into a collateralized debt obligation, every company

into a financialized and securitized debt dependent, subordinated, you know, a product as it were,

where they can control board seats and then inflict policy as a portfolio. And of course,

the end game is to bail out everything onto the government. And so the government is simply a piggy bank

for this corporate interest that they're building into products, they control fear currency,

and then they manage a portfolio in order to effectively control all the assets, you know,

the golds, the hard assets, the shares, the debt, the equity, the derivatives. And you know,

this whole complex is built together. But the end game is to turn every individual into a debt

product, turn every corporation into an equity that you can borrow against so you have more debt,

therefore you become subordinate to. And every government is to dump all of the debt on,

but have a facade that they're in charge. And so most people think they're voting between left

and right, and there's a president making decisions. In reality, they answer to their lobbies,

and the lobbies are all part of this financial, industrial complex, and it's a pay-to-play auction

prostitute system, where effectively their job is to create a narrative in front of what they're

doing for their lobbies. But in the end of that cycle, because it is a Ponzi scheme, you effectively

end up with all the debt on the government, and then you completely assets for the country,

and then you use war as a mechanism for doing a global reset, and you start to hedge your

next location. Let me effectively how the system works. Let me ask you about that global reset,

because the thing that really enlightened me when we had you on is I was asking you the question

of like, why would Trump do these things? Why would he spend this money? Why would he potentially

go to war? It doesn't make sense. It just degrades American power, but you explain to me quite

eloquently how really he's ushering in the multipolar world, and they're bigger forces at work.

So what's the runway for this current failed fraudulent system? Like you say, how are they?

Like me and Tim have talked about many times in the gray area. How are they going to roll all

that debt up? What's the new financial system going to be? Yeah, well, my transition here is

if you think about it, you had these constructs were created in the Dutch Empire. So you had

Dutch East India Company, the corporate interest. You had the Dutch Central Bank which created the

debt based Ponzi scheme, and then you had the Dutch government through the creation of the bond

market, which was to assume all the debt. Eventually they built a military force,

and they ended up getting very, very inefficient and then outsourcing their ship making

and naval fleet technology to the bridge, to the bridge. So then the bridge kind of ended up

with the Bank of England, the British East India Company, and the government ended up being

bankrupted, and so you had that construct. Then the transition happened to the American Empire,

so you had a couple of central banks, then you had the Federal Reserve, the Federal Reserve set

up the debt based Ponzi scheme, and effectively it was enforced by the fact that America had a massive

manufacturing base, and because it had the manufacturing base, which previously the Brits had,

which previously the Dutch had, you enter into a couple of wars, and America supplied all the

weapons, manufactured all the weapons, and then created financial contracts to rebuild the rest

of the world that was being destroyed by the bombs. So then you enter into a strategic tension,

you have two ideologies funded by the same sides, in fact you had three, Hitler was funded by Wall Street,

the Federal Reserve was created by Wall Street and European bankers, the Rice Bank,

the German Central Bank had the very same brother that was the governor of the Federal Reserve

on the German Central Bank, and also through the Bolshevik revolution, you also created the Soviet

Union and Communism, and so Wall Street funded all of those. So you have three ideologies,

you enter into a Cold War, you manufacture a narrative that justifies war and rolling over

if debt, you had the Cold War, we're taking on the commies, we are the capitalists, meanwhile

you're subordinating all of that debt onto the individuals, and everyone's going deeper and deeper

into debt, but eventually what happened is America went bankrupt in 1971 after the Vietnamese war,

and so America defaulted on his debt by saying you can no longer convert your dollars into gold,

that was the promise after World War II, they said to everybody, take, stop converting your currency

to gold, convert it to dollars at the IMF, you'll be able to convert it to gold with us,

and so effectively in 1971 America defaulted, we created this fiat currency debt-based standard,

and what happened then, we started to transition the manufacturing base away from America and over

to China, so we had globalization, we had financialization being the tool because the government debt

was no longer constrained by gold, and so the debt ballooned after 1971, and the entire American

economy just became a product for the investment banks, the retail banks, the asset managers,

the central banks, until eventually you hit the stage where we are right now,

where you don't have another country to transition to, because really American European,

that Dutch British American thing was a continuation, but a transfer of power through the central bank.

Yeah, and one thing I wanted to clarify specifically is China is trying to step in to that new power

role, but not everybody completely trust China, specifically even in the West, and not even all

of the Asian countries, which is why you have bricks, no, is that the second option for the polar

world, because you've got America that's on one side, and then you've got bricks on the other side,

right? Yes, so what you have right now is effectively this whole economy that was built in the

post-World War II era on the military industrial complex, but got financialized and

securitized by the financial industrial complex. It's called it Fick and Mick for simplicity,

so the Fick became more powerful than the Mick, once you had the 1971, the financialization,

and the Fick only cared about profit maximization for its portfolio of companies,

and it managed to get everyone to contribute their pension, so that they were managing everybody's

assets, all the insurance premiums were being contributed, they co-opted the education system

for their portfolio, you know, people were, the colleges became money laundering organizations,

and effectively you built this whole complex around Fick being in control, and so once you made all

those companies public and you burdened them with debt, you created a bit of a power struggle,

effectively the military industrial complex, their job, was to prop up the dollar, so once they

exited the gold standard, they, you know, we had the assassination of King Faisal in Saudi Arabia

when there was a war between Israel and the Arab states, that led to Saudi doing an oil embargo

in 1973 that led to stagflation, but it also led to the assassination of King Faisal,

then a secret club safari club was set up by George Bush, which was a network of intelligence

agencies that later led to 911 and various other operations, but you created the petro dollar,

where effectively, because you no longer had gold, you would use the military to enforce the world

onto this petro dollar, and Saudis would agree to lend all of their dollars back to the US government,

and then as long as people would accept treasuries as collateral,

and people would buy those bonds and treasuries, then you entered into this Ponzi scheme continuing

to the point where we are right now, just to give you an idea of how that works, and then we

can go into breaks. The way this actually works is currently the average interest on the US debt

right now, approximately 40 trillion, approaching 40 trillion, is 3.3%. In order to keep the Ponzi

scheme alive, you have to, America has to have a growth rate above 3.3%. If you don't have a

growth rate above the average cost on the debt, then you enter into the unwinding of the cycle,

which would be a recession and a depression. Every time that happens, they need to find a new way

of printing money in order to try and stimulate growth. One of those is fund the military

industrial complex great war, but the problem is with that, is it extracts wealth from the average

American person, because they end up with the debt, and the company ends up with all the profits.

And so in order to keep the Ponzi alive, you have to extract all the assets from the average person.

Excuse me, and the economy becomes a mechanism for rolling over. Now you have to have growth

above the average cost of the debt. What's happening right now? In this global reset, where all

energy and 50 different supply chains are being renegotiated, the projected growth rate for America

is approximately 2% this year and 1.7% next year. At the same time, the 10-year treasury and the 30-year

treasury is spiking, not as much as the rest of the world, but it's spiking up to dangerous levels,

4.5%, and 5%. But now you need to roll over $7 trillion of debt at either 4.5% or 5%.

The only solution to that was what Trump tried to do. He tried to regime change the federal reserve,

and enforce low-yield bonds on the short term by effectively dumping them on Americans.

So the largest foreign lender to the U.K. to the U.S. government right now is Cayman Islands,

which is the hedge funds. So what he tried to do is he tried to force interest rates down artificially

low by regime changing the Fed. And then they could be dumped on American people and American

pensions, and you could subsidize the demonetization. What's going to happen of this program?

What's going to happen because of this action or a tentative action?

Well, effectively, that's all gone wrong. So now we enter into an inflation recycle,

because this wall was meant to be short. It looks like the IRGC put up a bigger resistance

than anyone imagined was possible. We're going to cover that. So now you won't get the short

term rates down. The long term rates are rising. Oil prices are going up, so you've created a

supply shock and inflation. So you can't get those rates down, and growth is going to go down

at the same time as unemployment. That is an absolute disaster. I do not want to reiterate how bad

things are going to get from here. I'm not one to say doomerism. I've always believed they

could keep this Ponzi scheme going for quite some time. But the growth rate is going to be

significantly below the average interest rate, which means that the only solution here is to print

more money than COVID, more money than long term capital management, more money than the global

financial crisis, and experience the same economy of the 1973. Here's my issue with all of that,

right? Americans have been paying this bill, and not just Americans around the world since 2022,

since the COVID area where they've printed $6 trillion already, right? We saw that hit our bottom

line, and now I'm seeing these situations play out to where the oils in play, people think they're

trying to play 4D chess, and they don't understand that you can't control prices the same way that

you can do a lot of other things. We just say we can do whatever we want, right? So now we look at it

like, okay, gas prices is one thing. You've got diesel and fertilizer, those things play out,

and all of these inflationary costs keep stacking up for the average person. So I really want to

highlight, what is the immediate impact to the average person outside of just kind of these higher

level breakdowns? Because people want to understand, what am I going to see in terms of what

things are going to cost me? Because we're only seeing the initial inflection point. We don't know

what that is. Let's talk about those, because I want to understand those.

Yeah, so I think you've got to break the world into region. Let's focus on America.

So America immediately, you will have the lowest gas price increases of most of the world,

because you are energy independent. However, it's going to be a significantly more expensive.

These gas like WTI oil is slightly below the price of Brent crude, which is slightly below the

price of Oman, Brent crude as well. So now we've disjointed all the oil markets. However,

in order for this growth rate to continue without inflation, America needed oil to be approximately

$40 as a sweet spot. It also needed interest rates to be significantly lower. So what does that

actually mean? Well, immediately, you have an impact on the gas prices. Right prior to this war,

there was a hot print PPI, produce a price index. The producer price index is the cost at which

things are produced in America. CPI is the consumer price index. The average price of goods for the

consumer. When you get a hot PPI, it tends to mean in three months you'll have a hot CPI. So

prior to this war, you had 3% PPI, which was up from about 2.4%. So we're ready. Inflation was

turning around. Then we had this hot print. Now we had the oil price shop. So you will gas prices

at 4%. 30-year interest rates are 5%, which translates into mortgage rates at 7%. 10-year yield

is set in credit card debt, auto loan debt. And so you've got real estate interest on mortgages that

need to be refinanced. If you refinance, your refinance in closer between 6 and 7%. So everyone that

is in debt right now, if they need to refinance their debt is going up. The cost of goods are

going up. The cost of gas is going up. And then when that energy penetrates through the economy

over the next three to six months, the price of everything is going up. Now, what is it going to

go up to? It can only go up to an unsustainable price where it has demand destruction. i.e., all your

money is gas. Excuse me. All your money is gas. All your money is interest on debt. You're rent,

you're mortgage. And if you're already on the edge, expect things to get significantly worse

over the next three months. That's baked into the equation today. That is even if the

straightforward moose opens today. If this stays on for another month or two, you're talking about

a depression worse than what we experienced in the 1930s. The reason for that is because

America, saying that it's insulated, is complete fallacy, is propped up by the petrol dollar.

What's happened to the Gulf countries? They're no longer investing. Where did all the growth come

last year? All the growth came from the AI and data centers build out. That was two markets,

the private credit market and Gulf money. Gulf money closed. Private credit closed. What else does

it need? What else today? I need cheap energy. There's no way the chat GBT can do an IPO this year

at these prices. Now you've destroyed the IPO market, the private credit market, the oil market,

the energy market, the bond market, and that comes into the stock market.

It's like we got 1983, we got dot com bubble and we got the housing crisis and we got the

Iraq war all rolled into one. We're going to get into the war with you on the next segment,

both me and Tim have a lot of questions. When I ask you about the straight, when I ask you about

Trump, when I ask you about China, when I ask you about Iran, ultimately all of these things,

thank you so much Simon Dixon. We're taking a break right now. We'll be right back with the news.

On real world over at actions that are taking place in real time right now that we thought we'd

never see, the straight of hormones is closed. In every day, we hear that it's open that they're

letting ships through as a sign of tribute, but we all know that's not true. So what's your

take on the current crisis right now? Are they going to be able to keep the straight closed?

The Iranians are the Americans going to be able to open it with Israeli help,

a Russian and China going to step in your thoughts.

Yeah, the straight is closed. Unless you are willing to price oil in the Chinese you want,

expel the Israeli embassy and the US embassy from your country, then Iran will open you

and allow shipments through. How is that enforced? So Iran is effectively

a economy within a country. Think of IRGC as a faction of power, and underneath that there is

a government called the Iranian government. Right. Effectively, the Iranian government voted

in parliament that the straight can be closed. The IRGC is a militarized force within Iran

that has access to the banking system, the ports, the military, various other infrastructure.

They said that no one is allowed to pass the straight, and then the insurers came along from

Lloyds-A-London and said we won't ensure anyone to go through the straight. So that closed the

straight. You can't be insured, and how is that enforced? Well, the IRGC, effectively for the

last 40 years, has built an underground structure in a ginormous natural fortress called Iran

that's surrounded by mountains where deep in the grounds, they have infrastructure for both a

nuclear civilian energy program, as well as a drone manufacturing.

But I hate to interrupt you, Simon, but I've got to tell you the truth right now,

Lindsey Graham says that we have commandos that can go down there and take the Iranian.

And because Mark Levin says it's true, it must be true. And this is the thing that we've covered

numerous times on the show. I mean, we've showed the footage. It's publicly available. They brag about

it. They have these giant underground missile cities, missile factories, the same with the drones,

the same with everything. We look at that right on the screen. Well, here's my

prepping for 20 years. They have been prepping for 20 years, and my thing is they talk about estimates.

They're like, we know they have these capabilities. We know that they're, we know they can do these

things. I'm like, how do you 100% know that you are being certain about that? They don't even leave

room for them being wrong in these situations. So I think we've vastly seen the underestimation

of Iran's capabilities. But I want to ask you, Simon, who actually holds the cards because you've

seen the US has their own set of demands, which were pretty fair in my opinion with the 15 point

piece plan. And then Iran has their own set of demands. So who really actually holds the cards

to enforce one side of the other? I don't know if that piece plan is fair. What's your take, Simon?

Yeah. So effectively, you got to think of America as America a sovereign country. To get to

the understanding of the world, you have to understand that through the process of financialisation

and securitisation, America is controlled by lobbies. And those lobbies are broken up into different

interests. The most powerful lobby is the financial industrial complex. Then you have the military

industrial complex. You also have the technical industrial complex, big farmer, you know, and then

affiliated ones like APAC is more affiliated with Israel. Israel is a destabilization campaign

where the military industrial complex makes loads of money through war and the financial

industrial complex makes money through propping up the petrol dollar. And so what you have to think

about here is that in terms of America has a what's called a bill back better model and they're

trying to implement it. What that means is you use the military in order to destroy your country

and destroy infrastructure and subordinate leadership. Install puppet governments, do color

revolutions, destroy currency, engage in financial weapons and mass destruction, and just subordinate

a country so that you can get access to the resources to come back into the consumption of America.

So we call that terrorism. And we saw this debate with Dave Smith and Adam Soznik.

And Adam Soznik gets his panties only in the west because Dave calls the United States

the biggest state sponsor of terrorism. And we pointed out a lot. We talk about Cuba and the

various embargoes. And of course, the sanctions on Iran, we engage in economic warfare for decades

on these countries. And I think that's a valuable perspective you bring here. It's talking about that.

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, there is no other word for it. I guess a nuance if we want to get

into the technicality is that terrorism is officially, you know, normally for political goals

in America, it's for corporate goals. And so you're effectively renting out the US military

to get you resources so that Chevron and Exxon can profit from them. And then obviously the American

people pay for it. Yes. And so what the idea here is is you increase the bond market which benefits

the banks. Americans end up with the interest and the inflation. And that is all funneled back into

resources and needed to prop up the US stock market. The US stock market is currently 92%

by the top wealthiest 10%. And so it's a massive wealth extraction and more war that happens.

And then what happens once the war is over, you do the build back phase. So you get oil contracts,

energy contracts, resource contracts, you know, in the case of Afghanistan, you got 20 years of

military contracts, you got the revival of the CIA drug trafficking routes in order to

get the, you know, continue the opium wars as it were. Right. And you replace the Taliban with

another version of the Taliban that would let the drugs get in. And so, you know, but all of this

is wealth extraction. Two trillion dollars dumped on the American people, trillions of dollars of

profits for American private corporate interests. What is your prognosis for the war? When does this

exactly end? Yeah. So what actually happened is it went into that phase where they're now

destroying the assets in order to try and negotiate a new map of the world. And that map is being

set by the financial industrial complex. Now what you have from that is you had a resistance from

the forever war model in the Middle East to simplify it. The forever war model was you needed

Israel to continually agitate war. You then needed USAID, CIA and covert operations to fund

militia groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda. You then needed Iran that was always a threat against Israel.

So you have a narrative of strategic tension. You have death to America, death to Israel.

And then they have a private economy that funds various resistance around Israel. Hamas,

Hezbollah, Houthis in Yemen. And you have constant strategic tension where there's always the

justification for printing trillions of dollars and pushing the forever war model. That props up

the petro dollar by having allies like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE and the Gulf countries. But now you

want to try and like, you know, now we want to transition to what I think the financial industrial

complex is doing, which is multi polarity. What that means is effectively, all now America is an

energy exporter. China is funding all the Gulf sovereign wealth funds by purchasing their oil and

gas. And the Middle East effectively, through their sovereign wealth, is able to get significant

influence over American foreign policy. And so you've had this massive disruption, this global

reset that basically is pushing Europe into America through energy dependency. And then the

rest of the world is being propped up by Russian energy and China's manufacturing base, which

requires the removal of US bases in the Middle East. It requires normalization between Iran and

Saudi Arabia. And it requires the end of the apparatus that makes the forever war model possible.

Which is Israel and the greater Israel project. IRGC, death to America, death to Israel.

And then the radical evangelical Christian neo consign it within America that need to be

reeducated. So they're going through a reeducation camp right now to understand what Israel actually is.

Take those three factions out and you no longer have the forever war model and you move the Middle

East. Basically, what's happening is you're instead of the Middle East, which was a colonial term,

you're looking from London, you're looking over to the East and you see the middle of the world.

You're returning it to what it was before, which is West Asia. And so you're going to have

Gulf countries, Iran, all aligned with China. And whose plan is this? This is 100% China's plan,

which is why it has to be over. It was meant to be over in April when Xi Jinping and Trump were

meeting that that meeting got delayed by 50 to 15th of May. If we continue with the

Strait of Hormuz closed until the 15th of May, the price of oil will be $200. We'll have demand

destruction on a scale we've never seen before. You've taken off 20% of the world's oil. The entire

consumption economy requires that 20% to come back online. That's the equivalent of switching off

the entire American economy in one go and wondering what the impact of the world will be.

Well, here's America's thing. Somehow, you know, you listen to the rhetoric that comes out

of the the White House. We talk about like, well, it doesn't matter if the Strait is closed.

America's releasing oil reserve will supply the rest of the world. And the thing that I've tried to

highlight specifically is not oil is created equal, right? You've got different types of oil,

light crude oil. You've got heavy crude oil, which is the stuff that comes from Venezuela.

And like, it's not the same equation. Now, I've seen a lot of the spaces that you and Suleiman

have been doing lately where you guys are up to date. You're seeing current events. You're seeing

all the things that are playing out the state of the war state of the war specifically.

What is the kind of one or two major things that you're seeing currently as of the last, let's say,

24 48 hours that you see developing even behind even beyond the context in the history.

Yeah, so the price of oil and the bond market are dictating the strategy that America is

following. The second oil gets over $115, and basically Trump has to fire a weapon.

Yes. The first weapon was just lying. We're a piece. We've done a deal and then the market crashed

back down. Oil comes back down. We're done. The second tool was they got everyone to drain their

strategic petroleum reserves. That's happening naturally anyway because the world is in an energy

crisis. I'm on an island right now that has ran out of diesel. Our supply chains are breaking

and we're getting ready with generators and how to do everything through alternative

means. Effectively, we could become Cuba because Cuba knows that they had to turn to biofuels

if this continues. America can pretend yes, we are energy independent. Yes, we have the

energy that we need. But remember what the difference is, Russia has nationalized oil. America

has privatized energy infrastructure. Who does this benefit a few companies? Who's paying

the debt? The Americans. Well, who does it benefit in Russia? The country.

All I just just a moment, let's get that Trump tweet back up. I'm going to read this to you, Simon.

I want your opinion of what the dear leader is saying right now. Donald Trump, all these countries

that can't get jet fuel because the straightover moves like the United Kingdom which refuse to get

involved with the decapitation of Iran. I have a suggestion for you. Number one, buy from the US.

We have plenty. And number two, build up some delayed courage. Go to the straight and just take it.

You just go, you can do it. Just go take it. You got it. You got it, man. You'll have to start

learning how to fight for yourself. The USA won't be there to help you anymore. Admitting defeat

already is you're kind of talking about just like you weren't there for the US. Iran has been

essentially decimated the hard part is done. Go get your own oil. What do you think of that lunacy?

Okay. People think that Trump is a lunatic if you think he works for the American people.

If you know the corporate interest he works for, he's actually doing a perfect strategy for the

government. Okay. He's pumping up the price of oil. He's burdening the American people with debt.

He's resetting all their energy negotiations. And what is he doing? There are three things. So

prior to this, we were weakening the dollar. The dollar was getting weaker and weaker and weaker.

That was needed because American needed to get independence from China's manufacturing base.

Now since the war, the dollars blown up through the roof. That means the America's going more and

more dependent upon China is reversing the rebuild of the manufacturing base because the dollar's

strengthening. So we've reversed that trend. Now what props that up? The euro dollar,

the petrol dollar and the Japan carry trade. So by putting Asia into an energy crisis and pushing

them towards Russia to solve that crisis and breaks effectively, then that's the perfect way

of achieving that. And then you push Europe into an American dependency for that energy. You split

the world up into the hemispheres. And in order to get that, what do you need to do? You need

firstly an inflation recycle and then a recession or a depression. So the way you do that is you get

the inflation up. You then have demand destruction. That means things are unaffordable. Everyone

starts consuming and you push the price basically the demand for oil down. So you've taken 20%

of the oil offline. Now you need to get what price of oil gets demand destruction. And demand

destruction means recession, depression, unemployment and then you can get inflation down just by

destroying the economy effectively. You need to make up for 20% of oil. So you've got to get

oil up to about $200. So you need to be crazy. And then you need to break the, you know,

effectively break the euro dollar for after the reset, break the petrol dollar and break the

Japan carry trades because Japan through the 0% interest rates were funding the US there.

So if you really want, you know, after this war is over, the only way to get the price to fix

this right now is to crash the price of oil and get bond rates down. The only way to do that

is for Trump to reach an agreement with Iran. And Iran effectively can carry on forever because

it can keep the straight closed. There's only two countries that are economically insulated.

The two countries that were sanctioned Iran and Russia. Yes. So they already are completely

insulated. You know, they all they need is one thing for China to buy their oil.

And the Russians are just rolling around in money now. I mean,

$760 million, baby, about to be 19 sanctions packages passed in the US alone. And then you look at

Europe and all their efforts and all that's out the window. And you look at just how big of a

crisis this is. They had to throw that, they had to play that card. Well, and the way I hear you

describing it, Simon, like this is all part of a greater plan. And while I will agree with you

on certain parts of that, I'm like, there's no possible way in my mind that, you know, someone like

Trump and all the rest of the people who are behind the scenes are this calculated that they can

take into account all the butterfly effects in the chain and the chain reactions. Because here's

the thing, if oil goes up to $200 a barrel, I don't think we know how that turns out. And because

the world is so much more interconnected now than it ever has been in history, no one actually

truly knows what the ripple effect looks like. Well, in what's the timeline on top of that to make

a deal? Like what does that look like? Is you talk about the price of oil spiking? I mean,

what if this goes on for another six months, God forbid? Yeah, what happens if it goes on for six

months? Yeah, I'm really glad you said all those things because there's a few things that people

confuse around me trying to explain things and people interpreting it through their own lens.

This is not Trump's plan. This is not Q. This is not trust the plan. This is not a genius, you know,

Trump is the press secretary for his lobbies and great about these the manager of the burger

cow. Yes. Yes, sorry. Exactly. Now, do the greater powers, financial, industrial, complex,

technical, industrial, complex, military, industrial, complex, other plan? Yes, they hedge for every

outcome. They use derivatives market, they launch military operations, they try and get the resources,

they have a business plan around the bill back better and the forever war and they know that if

you can usher in law changes for a technical or well-earned technocratic surveillance state,

nightmare, then they've hedged every outcome. If this ends up in civil unrest, then the technical

industrial complex creates a police and surveillance state. If they manage to achieve peace in the

Middle East and get a deal, then the financial industrial complex gets all the bill back better

contracts. If this all fails and IRGC resists to the point where, you know, this goes out of control,

then you effectively have the forever war model and you rebuild all these military contracts. So

mass weapons are being sold, you know, for defense, missile interceptors. And so Black Rock,

as it were, State Street and Vanguard, the asset managers, they're okay, whatever happens.

Now, you are right. Once you hit a point of $200 oil, you hit massive demand destruction.

What is the model when you have demand destruction? Exactly what they did during the Great Depression

of the 1930s. You consolidate wealth just like the 2008 financial crisis. Get a big print,

socialize the losses, privatize the gains, send all the small businesses bankrupt, send the

individuals bankrupt and try and put them on some kind of universal-based. You know, you're

you're a free-to-strategy. So whatever the outcome is, they're going to concentrate wealth

in the West. What is the resistance against that? This is the irony of the whole thing.

Who's really draining the swamp right now? The factions of the IRGC that we would call the

hardliners, they're resisting against the plan. They're taking out the US military bases.

They're effectively pushing the Gulf countries away from the Epstein class

over towards China and Bricks. And they're effectively fighting for that multipolar world as it

were. So they are draining the swamp. They are actually draining the swamp.

They are taking on the deep state. Remember, the dollar is backed by the deep state.

If you break the deep state, you break the Japan carry trade, the Petro dollar and the Euro dollar,

which means that America is shrunk into a regional power. And so taking on the deep state

is what props up the dollar. And the IRGC are taking on the deep state. Where does IRGC get its

power from? Obviously from Russia and China. They're getting intelligence fed through. They've

got asymmetric weapons set up with drones and missiles that make essentially big expensive

equipment that the US military were profiting from irrelevant. Now, of course, you can inflict

damage on them. But what happens every time you hit an infrastructure, you push the price

of oil up. Now, who benefits from the price of oil and gas going up? Russia as a sovereign state,

Iran as a sovereign state, and American private, big oil, big LNG and the world economic

forum agenda that wants a technocratic surveillance state where you were owe nothing and be happy.

Trump is delivering it for them to perfection. And the reason I think he's a blithering idiot

is because they don't know what's going to happen. He doesn't know what's going to happen.

And he's being told what to do next. And he's trying to communicate that.

They're very clear. They run these people. They're all empty suits. It's like you said,

like he's the press secretary in reality. I compare all these people to like managers of various

fast food restaurants. And they may be the person that gives the checkout. They may be the person

the photo with the apron. But we all know the truth. We know the reality. They work for the people

with the money. And I think that's what you so accidentally break down because we talk about

these things. Ultimately, we can talk about missile systems and destroyed interceptors and destroyed

planes and destroyed US bases and all of the nitty gritty. But in reality, it's all in service to

this multipolar world that's being built around us. I think you're one of the best at breaking that

down. I really appreciate you coming on here with us. Yeah, we've only got like a minute here left.

But where can people find you because there's a lot of information that you come out with every

single week. You've got great spaces that you're in. You've got great podcasts that you're a part of.

Where can people find you? Yeah, so I go through these very long, you know,

play by play monetary transaction by monetary times action in Bitcoin tech macro and geopolitics

every Friday. It's like a three, four hour marathon. I break it down into AI on my blog,

Simon Dixon.com. If you've only got 10, 15 minutes. And then I'm always on acts and giving

life spaces and giving life minute by minute players. We go through this. Fortunately, you know,

Bitcoin made me financially independent. And I'm trying to get as many people as sovereign as

possible. And so sovereign country, sovereign companies, sovereign individuals. And the real

undertone here, which we didn't get to cover much is what are you going to do to prepare?

So hopefully we could come back to another show or something. Yes, because what really is important

is you, your family, your community.
