Hello, everybody. My name is Daniel Prince, and I'm the host of the Once Bitten podcast.
This is a podcast focused on Bitcoin. It's my mission to interview as many people as I can
around the different aspects of Bitcoin and help people understand exactly what Bitcoin could mean
for them and for their families and for their future. I hope you enjoy the show. Thank you so
much for listening. Hello everybody, welcome to this episode of the Once Bitten podcast. Joining
me today is Simon Dixon. Simon is an OG Bitcoiner. He's been around from the very, very beginning.
He spoke at the very first ever Bitcoin conference to be held in Prague back in 2011. His book,
Bank for the Future, is the first published book to have mentioned Bitcoin and he has been running
the Bitcoin Hard Talk podcast now for many years. And if you're not listening to that,
you probably should be. He goes through each week in in-depth, long form. He'll do this week in
Bitcoin, this week in macro, and this week in geopolitics. He breaks it all down and weaves it
all together and ties in the proof of weapons network, as he likes to call it, the fiat monetary
system that is backed by big pharma big military big ag big tech and he puts all of he just follows
the news which is something i can't do i just i i don't have that bone in my body to sit there and
follow all of this news i find it too depressing too dark too confusing but simon's the best at it
And he follows the money.
He doesn't, you know, people like myself and Simon, we get accused of being conspiracy theorists.
And it's a little bit draining when you look at a certain topic.
And you can see the incentives at play behind what is happening.
Because everything is controlled by the money.
And if you can follow the money, human action, incentives.
If you can follow the money, you can get much closer to a version of the truth than you're being told.
And that is what Simon has made an absolute brilliant habit, hobby, skill set, knowledge set around doing.
He comes from an investment banking background and we get into all of that as well.
So he has these skills and he can see the patterns.
and he puts the patterns together.
But more importantly, he sits there and bravely shares what he finds.
He talks about things that are probably going to get a lot of people cancelled
and you should probably be following him over on his YouTube channel,
if not on Rumble.
Certainly go and listen on Fountain.
Simon, we didn't talk about Fountain app actually.
We've got to get you registered on Fountain app
so us Bitcoiners can support you on Fountain app
and boost you some sats and stream you some sats whilst we are listening to your work.
We get into all kinds of rabbit holes in this one.
We went way over time.
Thank you, Simon, for giving up the time,
and hopefully we'll get you back on soon
because things are happening so quickly just the last few days.
I was at the Beryston Edmunds conference over the weekend.
Great show by the guys over there.
And now it's hitting the papers that Keir Starmer is greenlighting digital ID.
Simon's been talking about this for a long time.
this is Palantir led technology digital ID the next thing will be thought crime or pre-crime
technology AI that is going to be scrolling through all of your surfing habits on the internet
your emails your messages to try and catch keywords that are going to put you in prison
before you commit the crime this is minority report bullshit but it's happening right in front
of your eyes and if you're not paying attention you probably should be and Simon is here to talk
us through it so go and listen to his work before we get into the show please stack sats you can do
that by getting getting yourself the relay app r-e-l-a-i dot ch forward slash bitten please take
self-custody of your bitcoin that is the most important thing you can do to exit one system
of destruction murder blackmail coercion and disgusting fuckery known as the current monetary
system into one of hope but you're only going to do that if you convert your fear into bitcoin
by using a relay app for example across europe and taking control into cold storage bitbox o2
or the bitbox and over a bitcoin only hardware wallets brought to you by bitbox.swiss
forward slash bittem and use the code bittem for five percent discount if you want to accept
bitcoin for your goods and services get over to paywithflash.com built by pierre corban and the
team over at flash you can now be up to speed accepting bitcoin with plug and play one click
technology it's so simple to use if you want to join your local meetup but you don't know where
it is because you've not met any bitcoiners you're still the lonely guy sat there in the pub
listening to your friends talk about local politics or the game last night or whatever
what are you doing? Get on Orange Pill app. That's where all the Bitcoiners are. You will
find your local Bitcoiners. You'll find your local meetups. They exist, I promise you.
So get on Orange Pill app today. The link is in the show notes. Finally, another great shout out
for a great friend, David Bennett, Nunya Bidness. Go and listen to his daily show, Bitcoin And.
Meanwhile, here is Simon Dixon. All right, we are recording. Simon,
lovely to have you on the show really looking forward to this one okay thank you very much
for inviting me uh a lot to talk about absolutely and you've not met my co-host this is lauren
he is nice to meet you lauren she's my daughter she's been asking the first question on the once
bitten podcast since she was nine so five five and a half years in been described as the uh
the toughest interviewer in the space by Matt O'Dell.
So hold on because you now got to face it down.
So over to you, Lauren.
You put a lot of pressure on me because my question isn't even that hard,
I don't think.
Yeah, but like gauge his response and then like dig in a little bit after that.
Goodness. Okay.
What was the first time you heard about Bitcoin?
Ah, okay. Yeah. The first time I heard about Bitcoin.
That's a great question.
um so i got a face i i was part of a community called the monetary reform community um and in
that at that time there was no bitcoin um and uh there was a bunch of retired pensioners that would
meet up in a little place in birmingham called bromsgrove um every year and uh they would
discuss how they were going to get the world back to the gold standard uh and we'd discuss all these
different concepts around banking and the problem with fractional reserve banking and how to
transition out of that system. And we had people like, there was this guy in the UK called Dave
Fishwick, who did like a BBC series on trying to create a new bank. And, you know, this was the
type of community that was the pre-Bitcoin community. And I was writing a book on monetary
reform. It's called Bank to the Future, Protect Your Futures Before Governments Go Bust. There we
go. There's the book. And I was doing the whole technology piece and going right into, I was
trying to create a bank at the time, a non-fractional reserve bank, just to see if it could be done.
And a guy called Johnny Bitcoin messaged me on a Facebook message DM. And he was like,
hey Simon I've moved out of my house
I've sold my house
and I put all my money in Bitcoin
why don't you come and visit us in Old Street
I've got some developers that are working on Bitcoin code
and he invited me into this squat in Old Street
and he's actually sold all of his house to buy Bitcoin
I think this is pre $1 Bitcoin
this was when it was sent
and yeah so I went to visit him in this what could only really be described as a very horrible place
but there were these Bitcoin core developers there and different people that were working
on putting together Bitcoin improvement proposals and it completely coincided with
me getting a letter from the Bank of England and we'd applied for our banking license and I said
look, we want to have a bank where people own their own money. So we segregate it. It's
completely theirs. We don't mix it with our money. We want it where they can direct the flow of money
so we don't invest it for them. Like if they don't want to invest in military companies or
companies that they're not happy with or drugs companies or anything and pharmaceutical companies,
they can direct the flow of their money and there's a very third important part of it we
don't want to create money every time we issue a loan we just want to be a safety deposit box as it
were for digital money and they came back with this application and essentially it was too safe
for customers it gave customers too much power and it actually gave customers the ability to really
decide what happened with their money. And so they came back to us and said, well, firstly,
you're going to need to deposit 60 million pounds at the Bank of England in order to continue this
application. So they don't have 60 million pounds. And then they said, and you're not going to be
able to build it on top of your technology, you're going to have to build it on top of Barclays Bank.
and I was like well if I build it on top of Barclays then all of our customers money will
go to Barclays and then Barclays will do with it as they choose and they said yes that's how the
system works there is no way that you can create this unless you build it on top of another bank
and put it in Barclays and the other thing the third thing they said we had a meeting with the
regulator and I was creating it with my wife and my wife is you know she's an Asian in background
She's born in Britain.
She's British Asian.
But they said, they looked at her and said,
you're not the type of person we would normally regulate.
And that was the, you know,
where I was with our application at the time.
So we stopped the application.
And Johnny Bitcoin, when I came to visit him,
he said, let me introduce you to this guy called Amir Taki.
And Amir Taki appeared on the BBC
as one of the very first TV interviews that ever happened with Bitcoin.
And Amir Tarki is a crazy, crazy person.
He went down some very dark places in life and he was excited about it.
Nothing that I would recommend to anybody,
but he was excited that he could spend his own money and he decided to spend his own money on drugs And he went on national TV and said Bitcoin amazing You can do money laundering it and no one cares and you can buy
drugs. And this was like the first face for Bitcoin. And so, you know, it was a very bad
representation of Bitcoin in those early days. But he decided to do the first Bitcoin conference
in the world and he invited me to speak in Prague. And this was 2011. And the price of Bitcoin crashed
from, it pumped right up to under a dollar to $30. And then during the conference, it crashed 90%
from $30 to $3. And then when I was at the conference, there was someone that had created
an actual physical Bitcoin with a hologram on it. And I was able to buy five Bitcoin for 25 pounds
at the time. And that was my introduction to Bitcoin. And I saw all these cypherpunks.
And the community was really a group of people that just wanted to create freedom for people to
be able to transact without the banks. And so the really early community was us versus the banks.
the banks had kind of I'd left my career in investment banking tried to create this bank
very despondent with the world very despondent with the system was very deep in debt at the time
as well trying to create this bank spent all my savings was deep in debt and then Bitcoin came
along and I realized wow that solves all the problems and so I included it in my book and
And when Bitcoin price did very well, I kept buying Bitcoin every month with whatever I could put together.
And it took me to a place I never imagined was possible and been on the boat for 14 years now to 2025.
Wow.
That's a cool story.
I was going to say, that's a story.
That is a cool story.
The squat in Old Street sounds very fun.
uh big fine conference in prague uh have you been to btc prague the the conference that's
the big ones that are running they've run for the last three years yeah i've got to be honest um i'm
somewhat of a strange person now um i'm very security conscious i built my little castle um
i don't travel so much anymore um and uh you know i try to be as cautious as i possibly can
with the types of subjects I like to speak about nowadays.
But in the beginning, yes, I went to that conference in Prague.
And that was my one and only time that I've been to Prague.
I haven't been back since, actually.
It's a beautiful place.
Yeah, it is.
I was just chatting to one of the founders of it the other day,
and they'd love to have you.
They'd love to have you.
Because I think he was even at that conference in 2011 and saw your talk.
Oh, right.
I mean, there was only about 50 people in the room.
That was almost the whole community at the time.
So that would be...
Maybe I had that...
Max Kaiser was there.
Really?
Yeah, he came because he was introduced to Bitcoin
when he had Kaiser Report by John Matonis,
who was part of the Bitcoin Foundation.
We had Mt. Gox as the main sponsor.
BitPay was there and they were pitching this startup
to trying to create the PayPal of Bitcoin.
We ended up investing in that company, actually.
and who else was there?
Stacey Herbert was there.
The founder of Trezor, Isabella, was there,
and she had this little incubator
where she was trying to create hardware wallets
and fund different companies that would help the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Was Obi there? Obi from CoinFloor?
I don't think he was there.
CoinFloor came quite a bit later.
So when I got back to the UK, I became a founding director of two organizations, the UK Crowdfunding Association and the UK Digital Currency Association.
And CoinFloor was one of the early exchanges in the UK.
And yeah, the UK Digital Currency Association was doing all that early work to try and get the UK to be a part of the Bitcoin strategy.
Interestingly, I had a meeting with Boris Johnson, who was mayor of London at the time, later became the prime minister.
And as corrupt as it can be in terms of the legacy system, but we gave him a whole Bitcoin strategy and the equivalent of accumulating Bitcoin as strategic reserves.
how to attract all the companies, you know, making Bitcoin legal tender by allowing it for payment of tax.
And he laughed me out of the room.
And at this time, the bank that I tried to create was also called the same as the book, Bank to the Future.
And we pivoted it just before this to supporting Bitcoin companies in raising finance,
because no venture capitalist would look at any of these companies.
This was wacky. This was completely off the scale in terms of even the venture capitalist risks.
So we took the platform and we hired some developers from Poland and built a crowdfunding platform, as it were, but with shares.
And we registered the very first securities business where you could invest online using Bitcoin.
and we actually registered it with the FCA.
The regulator, it was called the FSA at the time.
That's how long ago it was.
But we allowed people to take their Bitcoin
and take their fiat currency
and invest in the companies
that were doing stuff with Bitcoin.
We ended up investing through the platform Coinbase,
Kraken, Bitstamp, Bitfinex, Circle,
weird ones like Ripple Labs that seemed a good idea at the time.
And like Exodus is another wallet, Shapeshift.
But we did about 100 different companies.
And of those, I'd say about 10 of them became multi-billion dollar unicorns
just from this crazy community that were trying to invest in companies
that just made Bitcoin more useful so we could buy it and use it and stuff.
BitPay was another one.
And yeah, and so when I told Boris Johnson about that,
I was talking about how we could fund all of the Bitcoin companies in the UK.
I can get Coinbase to come over.
I can get blockchain.com to come over.
I'll get, you know, all of the different companies to come over to the UK.
And he basically said, yeah, yeah, that's a great idea.
Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it.
um the very next day he completely ignored um and then he launched a campaign um he said i i really
like the name bank to the future and then the next day he launched a campaign called bus to the
future and this bus to the future went all around the uk um trying to fund businesses
but get them into debt rather than equity and we wanted to do it with equity and so he he signed a
deal with this development bank that was just trying to get all these businesses into debt,
ignored the Bitcoin strategy, plagiarized our name, and then just decided never to reply to us
ever again. And so that's when I actually decided we had to leave the UK because the regulators then
started to come after our license right after the meeting. So he obviously had a word with
the regulator plagiarized the name started trying to get companies in debt rather than using shares
and bitcoin and became a hindrance to bitcoin at that point I took the strategy over to a local
island near the UK called the Isle of Man which is behind me and the Isle of Man said all right
we'll do it and so they created this conference called Crypto Valley Summit invited all the
companies like OKCoin, all the different big companies came at that time. They even got the
government to announce that they're going to start accepting Bitcoin as legal tender for payment of
taxes. And then we reincorporated over there and set up the company, got all the companies there.
And then approximately six months later, the Bank of England contacted the Isle of Man government
and said, if you support Bitcoin, if you carry down this route,
we're going to remove clearing to all of your banks on the island.
Because they built the banking system.
We have a Manx pound here.
And they built the banking system pegged to the British pound.
And it cleared through the Bank of England on top of English banks
like NatWare, Stages, BC and RBS and everything.
So they used it as I call Operation Choke Point.
and Operation Chokepoint 1.0 was actually coming after the gaming companies in the Isle of Man.
The FBI actually flew over to try and shut down the companies.
The Bank of England choked all the banks to make sure they didn't support Bitcoin.
And one of the companies that set up here was a company called OKCoin.
They were doing like payments in Bitcoin.
And the government raided their office and shut them down
because they said you're only keeping digital records of your customers.
You're meant to print their passports and put it in a safe.
And you're meant to have a paper record of all of your customers.
And so they shut down the company.
And then the Bitcoin strategy was killed by the Bank of England.
It was completely choked.
And that's when I decided to move to Hong Kong.
And Hong Kong kind of gave us a free environment.
and we incorporated in Cayman Island.
And all these years later, I guess, we're still in this hostile environment.
But now the governments are broke.
They're deciding that maybe they need to embrace this industry
to try and use some financial engineering to solve their debt crisis.
So it's been an amazing journey.
But I stopped working with countries with the exception of El Salvador
when I went to go meet President Bekele.
And then he did it, gave him a strategy.
But the IMF has still got that grip,
like the economic hitmen at the IMF.
He didn't manage to get enough Bitcoin
to free himself from the IMF,
but he's still accumulating one every single day.
And hopefully he'll get himself enough Bitcoin
where he can take to the Bank of England,
go away, the Federal Reserve, go away,
the IMF go away and he can actually free himself and liberate himself so I thought I'd tell you all
of that story anyway yeah I've got a bunch of questions here right Lauren are you uh
are you interested in hanging around or have you got a run off right okay well so thank you
thank you so much for answering my questions that was really interesting thank you all right pleasure um thank you and uh yeah we gonna we gonna be discussing more uh less pg stuff i think aren we
now yeah all right have fun bye thank you cheers um is your gain on your microphone just a little
high uh it's coming through a little bit crackly sometimes um is it um i wouldn't know how to
adjust that actually no that's better that's better i think just you pushing it back might
have just helped a little bit okay uh right mate where to start simon simon simon simon like you
and i i i feel like a kindred spirit in you because you you you follow the money you go down
the rabbit holes you're not afraid to talk about it point out like uh where you see wrongdoing um
You mentioned the economic hitman.
We've probably both read the book or the books of John Perkins and understand them inside out.
I spent 18 years in foreign exchange markets.
I started my career in London on the spot dollar mark desk and the busiest market by far.
And then, of course, the euro comes along and everybody loses their job and it consolidates.
And I didn't even know what money was.
I just did my job.
I moved on to derivatives, quoting foreign exchange currency options to the world's biggest banks.
The, what do you call it, the proof of weapons network that lies behind all of that.
The saddest thing there is...
UK and foreign exchange, you're actually reminding me, it's actually taking me a trip down memory lane
because I used to work in investment banking.
I left in 2006.
Which bank?
Did market making.
So I started at a stockbroker TD Waterhouse in Manchester, then blagged my way into the city, got a job as a market maker for the ABC, Danish, no, it's Danish, not Dutch.
And then, yeah, worked on market making on FTSE stocks.
And then a market called Plus Markets came along, a competing stock exchange.
and then I worked in corporate finance
doing public offerings for venture capital exits, basically.
But it just reminds me,
you were talking about London and FX.
London used to be a real player.
This was like they were the largest player in the world.
And look where we are now.
Look where the UK is now.
It is just a shadow of a greater structure
just being raped and pillaged and asset stripped by this predatory banking system.
But it's amazing how quickly things can change and how quickly things can fall.
Sorry, I carry on. So you're in FX and options.
Yeah, exactly. And, you know, you come out of that and I've gone through my...
So leaving that and then finding Bitcoin, you face your demons, right?
because you had no idea what you were part of, like none.
And I don't think I could, other than being a foreign exchange trader,
which is higher than the broker because the broker is always the little bitch boy
that gets screamed at for not making the right markets
and getting the right prices or how it is in those toxic environments.
Figuring out what you were a part of, it's very dark.
when you realize how immoral and unethical the whole fiat system is,
just fiat currency itself, like the philosophy of it
and the way it was invented by Paul Warburg, basically,
in the secret meeting on the Jekyll Island meeting of 1910.
And this is the thing where, you know,
you start losing a lot of listeners at this point because, oh, here we go.
The conspiracy theorists are at it again.
Oh, let me guess.
it was a Rothschild, the Rockefellers, J.P.
Yes, it fucking was.
All you've got to do is read a book.
There are two or three books out there that are brilliant.
Eustace Mullins, The Secrets of the Federal Reserve,
I think is the absolute best on this topic.
And when you follow the money and you realize that everything,
you and I understand this now, but a lot of people, again,
they say the money is broken.
It's not.
is working perfectly as designed perfect yeah yeah it's fixed as it were um in both meanings
of the words um but uh the yeah it's um i think people just need to go through their journey um
you know i i you bring up a really important point so when i was working in investment banking i was
really proud of my job like I'd worked hard like you know I wasn't that academic but I did the whole
degree thing a master's thing I punched above my weight academically and and throughout university
I remember I was like my father kind of he trained me to be a business person you know we I came from
an entrepreneur family he was self-made you know came from poverty made his first million and lost
it all in the stock market um and he lost it in the 2000 dot-com boom and bust and he didn't have
a clue what he was doing but a lifetime of rags to riches like was wiped out in a week and it was
the most traumatizing experience for the family uh you know he felt so demotivated like a whole
lifetime of building punching above his weight and he lost it all in that dot-com boom and bust
and he said to me son I where's the money what happened I had this balance and now I got nothing
and I'm not ready to go back to work pensioner at this time and I committed to finding out what
happened to his money and this was 2000 at this time and so I started
um 2000 so where are we 20 uh yeah 20 yeah um so i was 20 years old so i went off and
immediately i forgot about the way he taught me business and i went to university and thought right
i've got to learn economics i've got to learn how these markets work um and you get indoctrinated
into being a worker bee for a bank, essentially.
And you learn these economic theories,
which take you down the route of justifying, essentially,
how central banking works today.
But you never go into the real debate,
the real debate around money.
These economic models like Keynesian economics and monetarism,
they kind of just assume a 2% inflation
and the governments need to go into debt in order to subsidize and get back to full employment.
And there's a whole bunch of assumptions which haven't been resolved in economics.
But that's actually how this central banking system works.
And you realize throughout university, you're just being trained into a minion.
And I ended up trying to get into banking, you know, blagged my way in.
But here's the point.
I was really proud of what I'd achieved.
and I was working 100 hours a week like they work you like crazy but I had zero time to comprehend
how the system really works and this people find very hard now firstly I mean information is so
much more readily available today I came from when you know when I was at school we were doing pen
and paper and when I was at university computers we were printing computers and put you know the
slides and putting them in a folder and then by the time I was working we were all digital so I
went through that whole transformation from pen to paper all the way through. But people think that
people in the banks actually understand how this stuff works. You get pushed into a cog.
And there are thousands of cogs that make up this machine. And very few people actually understand
how all of the cogs fit together. And so I was like, you know, manipulating shares as a market
maker that was one cog um and then I was doing taking companies public in corporate finance
that was one cog um but it's not until you put everything together relearn everything um and I
just had to leave banking in 2006 when I started reading books one of the books I read was um
Michael Rowbath Rowbathum um and it was called what oh I've forgotten the name of the book now
it was so um grip of death and it went through like the enslavement of mankind through all this
imf and all of this different debt and started learning about how the third world is in more
debt than when they originally took the loan and it's paid off the the loan five times over but
it's still five times greater in debt um and just really i was horrified learning how the system
works and you start going down different conspiracies i remember i was interviewed by
bill still and started hanging around in these money masters documentaries and things like that
and they come across as conspiracy theories but i decided to fact check it with actual bank of
england reports and papers and real academic papers and it's actually when you when you
discover how the real system works it's worse than the conspiracy theory the conspiracy theory
tells you things like fractional reserve banking and they say you have some reserves at a bank
and then you're able to lever it up 10 times over there's actually no reserves and no fractions
and it's actually just they create as much money as a bank wants to
and it's based upon the demand to borrow it and so is it any wonder why governments are in debt
corporations are able to utilize debt to manipulate markets and individuals are deep in debt
and the only way to beat the system is to kind of leverage the debt markets you know take out a
mortgage and hopefully have enough equity in your home so you can refinance it and roll over your
credit cards well the whole system is engineered to create digital currency as a debt and the
reality is is you've got to go right back to the real simple part and the real simple part was
never taught in economics they teach you these theories like money multipliers and quantity
theory of money and various other things that Milton Friedman and all this stuff and Adam
Smithonian like classical economics but actually there's a reason why it came like the wealth of
Nations was written, you know, 17, I think it was 1756 or something. You can fact check that
around about that time. But it was 10 years before the US Constitution and the independence from
England, where the Bank of England, they talk about tax and Boston Tea Party. It was actually
a war over central banking. Like the war between Britain and America was a war of colonization
through central banking.
And we won.
We got the Federal Reserve in 1913 Assassinations happened Two central banks came and went But eventually in 1913 they got what they set out to create which was the enslavement of the American economy to bankrupt the US government just like the Bank of England did to Britain
and that is this process
that this banking system
is actually designed to do
and if you get right back to it simple
every single pound, euro or dollar
is only created
when somebody borrows it into existence
so the bank's already invented
digital currency before bitcoin
it's just a digital ledger
when you go to a bank
and you take on a mortgage
they create that money the money doesn't exist it's not grandma's money or her savings it just
literally is created into existence as a digital ledger on the bank and you log into your own
banking online banking and you say right I've now got this this money is going to buy this house
and now I've got a you know a liability to the bank that I need to meet and if I don't meet that
liability, they take my house. And you keep refinancing this house. And essentially,
as long as you hit the point where you've got enough income to service all your debt,
then you are a useful idiot for this system. And they don't want you to repay the debt,
because then they've got to find someone else. Because every digital currency is somebody else's
debt. So if you repay the debt, the money supply shrinks. But when you get back to its actual roots,
if you borrow a thousand dollars and that creates a thousand dollars and you need to repay that let's
say with a 10 interest then you owe one thousand one hundred dollars where's the one hundred dollars
to pay the one thousand one hundred back it doesn't exist and so you have to go create economic
activity, and then they have to find someone else to borrow it. And then they have to,
essentially, you have to create something that persuades the person that created this debt
to give you enough money so that you can pay the $100 on top. And now he needs to go find someone
else. And you go out to this in the macro economy, that the money does not exist to repay the interest
on the debt. So it is fundamentally only ever repaid by issuing more debt. And we've got a word
for that. It's illegal outside of the banking system. If you do that in a fund, you end up in
prison like Bernie Madoff. It's called a Ponzi scheme, like Charles Ponzi. But the fundamentals
of our currency is actually a debt-based Ponzi scheme that inevitably, predictably, and guaranteed
will implode on itself in the end if you can't find that next marginal buyer of new debt.
And that is the system that was created. And it was created in 1694 by the Bank of England
when the French and the Brits needed to go to war and a business plan was put forward with William Patterson
in order to get the King of England to fraudulently hand over the creation of the pound
to the Bank of England, a private bank, and continually have a mechanism for scamming
the British people out of this fraud of digital currency in a Ponzi scheme.
And what did they do to pay the interest? They introduced an income tax.
and so the income tax was a mechanism for stealing money from british people to pay the interest on
the debt that the government had said if we create this obfuscated scheme then we can continually
borrow and if we can continually borrow then the bank of england all they need to do is agitate wars
and so the early banking families all they did was fund both king they'd fund the french
revolution and the british side they would fund both sides of those wars and they would guarantee
each loan uh you know where whoever wins assumes the debt of the loser and so this just became a
business model and it expanded globally and and it hits the point where eventually you know because
there's not enough money, the government goes bankrupt. And that's what happened to the British
government. So people think of the British government and the Bank of England as one thing.
No, the Bank of England was a system for bankrupting the British government.
And he who issues the loan controls the borrower. And so through this mechanism, they created
a structure whereby the Bank of England, the government becomes subordinate to the Bank of
England. And then you control the government, and the government just becomes a tool and a mechanism
for pushing policy that restructures this debt. And when the government becomes bankrupt,
which happens pre-World War I, you agitate wars. And so what did they do? Well, you talked about
1910. And so a bunch of bankers that represented both American, you know, billionaire families,
the Rockefellers, the Morgans, and oil interest and Industrial Revolution interest,
would sit down. And JP Morgan, he only held on to 20% of his wealth, 80% of his wealth
was unknown probably European bankers and so there were then representations of European banking
interest from this Bank of England model and they had two attempts to get a central bank in America
and do the same exercise but presidents got assassinated over it but they eventually got
shut down with Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson and there's interesting stories but too much to go
into. We'll get to just the start of this because it brings us to how the system is today. Then
they meet in Jekyll Island. They engineer how we're going to get this system past Congress.
They buy political support, you know, the Aldrich plan, and they put forward a proposition. And
prior to this, J.P. Morgan manipulated the copper market in order to create the panic of 1907.
All of these banks went bust and got consolidated into the most powerful banks.
And then they engineered the central banking system as a result to trying to solve the problem that they created.
So they agitated a problem.
They then solved the problem.
So they put together a plan in the Jekyll Island.
And then on Christmas Eve, they got it past Congress when hardly anyone was there.
and they buried the Federal Reserve Act in a bunch of other stuff.
The title of the act didn't even say anything about banking.
And there were, just like the big, beautiful bill had a thousand pages,
you know, there were thousands of pages of all sorts of stuff.
And buried in there was essentially handing over the creation of the dollar
to this Federal Reserve.
And in order to try and make it sound like it was government,
they called it federal,
in order to make it sound like it was stabilizing.
They said it was reserves.
And then they made it look like it was decentralized government control.
So they said 12 states will own the Federal Reserve.
So you had these 12 central banks of different states.
But the shareholders of the state central banks were the banks.
And so now you have the shareholders of the Federal Reserve are the banks.
And so you talk about today, Jerome Powell reduces interest rates. Well, who's meeting in this FOMC meeting? Who are they optimizing for? Are they optimizing for stable prices and maximum employment?
No, he's a patsy for the banks.
And the banks meet every quarter and tell their FOMC patsy what they need.
And then the chairman comes and tells the people how this is good for America.
And then the president comes along and says, yeah, but who does the president work for?
They work for the banking lobby.
Every single politician is funded by lobbies.
and the most powerful lobbies are banking lobbies pharmaceutical lobbies military lobbies
and other forces like Israeli lobby which is an interesting one but you have all these lobbies
that control the government so the government works for the same lobbies the chairman of the
federal reserve works for the same banks and the central bank is just a mechanism for supporting
its shareholders, which is the banks. And so you have this incredible scheme that was created.
So then it comes into act in 1913. And guess what? The government debt at that time was minuscule
in America. They had a state banking system. You know, they were anti-debt. They always paid off
their debt whenever they went into debt. But it went in a straight line, essentially,
from virtually zero debt to $37 trillion of debt today.
How did they get there?
Well, they agitated World War I,
1913 Federal Reserve.
What else happened in 1913?
Income tax.
So instead of receiving money through,
instead of funding America through tariffs,
they did it through you.
So then you have 1914 World War I,
What came from World War I? Well, Wall Street, the same banking families, funded the Nazi Hitler regime. They funded the overthrow of the Russian Tsar through the Bolshevik Revolution, which led to the creation of communism and the Soviet Union.
and they took over America and implemented the same debt-based Ponzi scheme that sent England
bankrupt called the Federal Reserve Act. So now you've got fake capitalism with the justification
of modern economics. You've got communism and you've got fascism. You go into World War I.
What was the end result of World War I? All of the gold from all the colonial expeditions of the
British Empire ended up in Fort Knox, with the Federal Reserve being able to use it as collateral.
What happened to Russia's gold? Well, a bunch of it just goes missing, but suddenly a bunch of it
ends up in Fort Knox. What happened to Germany's gold? Well, they created the Bank for International
Settlements, and the Bank for International Settlements was essentially the Rice Bank,
the German bank, and what happened is every time Nazi Germany or Hitler invaded
a new country. The Bank for International Settlements, which by the way didn't store
any gold, all the gold was held at the Swiss Central Bank, the Federal Reserve and the
Bank of England. And it would go to the Bank of England or the Federal Reserve and say,
hey, Hitler's now in Czechoslovakia. Can you just take the label on the draw of that gold
and change it from Czechoslovakia to Germany? And now it's Germany's gold.
and so you had the national this funded the national socialist movement and various other
things but all of that gold at the end of it when we had the agitation into world war ii and
various other things ended up in the uh in fort knox so 75 of all the world's gold
ended up in Fort Knox.
And America was the only country that didn't get bombed,
and they created all of the military-industrial complex that was needed,
and they managed to install their own central banks in Germany and Japan and Italy.
And so now you've got a mechanism for doing the same thing at Germany, Italy,
and Japan and America and Britain,
and the Bank for International Settlements
became the central bank for all central banks.
So what did you need next?
You needed World War II.
What did World War II do?
It took the world off the gold standard.
So you agitate World War II.
America creates this massive military-industrial complex,
which was backed by 75% of the world's gold.
And what was it?
And by the way, if you subscribe to the cartoon version
of World War I and World War II,
you have to relearn history.
Everything you've been taught is a lie.
Everything you've been taught is an absolute lie
through the propagandized version of what we need today.
Through the education system that's owned by the same people.
which is funded by the same organizations you know what are these large endowment for why are
universities and colleges the largest money managers in the world next to pension funds
like is that what education is meant to be no it's a money laundering organization
for influencing the syllabus so that essentially the syllabus acts in the interest of the
corporations that the banks have managed to become these major shareholders in you know whether that
means um you know doctor being a doctor means you're just a drug dealer um whether that means
whatever you know whether it means economics means you're just a debt dealer um and you know
you create these mechanisms lawyer judge yeah i mean a lawyer is just to prop up the system
And so you have all of these different things, but they did a very clever design post-World War II.
They essentially said, we got all the gold.
We got 75% of the gold.
We're going to force you to adopt the dollar.
You don't have any choice.
John Maynard Keynes came and sat around this meeting called Bretton Woods.
He wanted to create a global currency called Bangor.
and that proposal was rejected in favor for the dollar being fully convertible into gold
and then creating a new organization called the imf and the job of the imf was to convert all the
international currencies at a fixed rate two dollars or manage a market price for dollars
but none of them were convertible into gold and you had to price gold in dollars
and uh you know during this great depression obviously america also stole all the gold from
the americans and made gold ownership illegal you had to swap it in for a 35 dollar federal reserve
note it's now worth 3 700 dollars they got it for 35 dollars um and uh you know so they got all the
american people's gold as well in in this one coffer um and um you created a system whereby
the imf would create this market for all of their currencies and you convert your currency to um
dollars and then if you need to swap your dollars for gold uh then you can do that and um that was
the promise. And so what happened immediately after World War II? All right, okay, we're ready
for peace. Well, we needed to create a military industrial complex. So you then got the creation
of the intelligence agencies. You know, it was created originally by MI5 and the British Empire
and MI6. But the American version arose. How did that arise? It was a partnership between those
that were useful from the Nazi Germany movement through Operation Paperclip. And so the Nazi
Germans became part of the CIA. And then they partnered with two factions of power in America.
One was the Italian Mafia. And the Italian Mafia created this elaborate money laundering scheme
for all of these black criminal operations.
And that was through a partnership with the Jewish mob,
the Jewish mafia.
And so people think...
That was Meyer Lansky, wasn't it, that was heading that?
Yes, exactly.
Meyer Lansky.
And so, you know, when you say the word Jewish,
people call you anti-Semitic,
and it creates this chain reaction.
That was from World War II.
You know, the Holocaust was weaponized.
You know, this was all part of...
creating these justifications led to the creation of israel the balfour declaration was just a way
of recruiting an army to get oil in the middle east by weaponizing the jewish religion and the
christian religion and a lot of people get mixed up with the balfour agreement they think that was
all i put in place in like 1944 after the war in fact it was 1917 that that was signed and that was
Churchill was part of that whole
dog and pony
show as well.
With very, very
tight links to the Rothschild family
because Churchill's father
was bankrupt, Randolph,
and his
good buddy from
school, Nathaniel Rothschild, took
him under his wing and sent him
out to Rhodesia
to look after the mining concerns
of the Rothschilds over there.
So basically bought the Churchill family by rescuing the father from debt and then use them and their influence to to get through the signing of the Belfair Agreement in 1917, which, you know, it's also again, like people are going to be like, oh, these two conspiracy theorists, guys are like, no, here's just the hard facts that we're laying out to all of you right now.
1917 was significant actually
because what happened in 1917
so remember America's going through the industrial
revolution
they're going through the second wave
and they've now built the military industrial
complex
and they need to fund these various
wars and get these weapons around the world
and they needed oil
and so what did they do in order to get oil
well firstly
they the wall street funded the bolshevik revolution to take all of russia's oil
um there was a resistance against that and you had the communism um and the soviet union
that didn't quite work uh so rothschild um managed to create uh work with the zionists the
the and essentially created a mechanism for having a destabilizing force within the middle east
the ottoman empire and so if you could have this um you know recruit the religious justification
in order to radicalize jewish people to want to move over to a region and forcibly engage in
terrorism through hagena and various other terrorist groups these were the very first
terrorist groups it was invented by the zionists in order to take palestine and just just on that
point right there simon people again might be wondering you know this word zionist it's basically
a religious belief right that that's uh like um what's the best way you could explain zionism to
somebody um zionism is an ideology um that was created by atheist jews that would confuse a
religion between a nationalism and ethnicity and weaponize confusion in order to radicalize those
that subscribe to the Jewish faith that if you could take the Old Testament and the New Testament
and confuse a prophet called Israel with a land and a nation and a promise from God
that was conditional upon meeting God's covenants,
depending on your religious beliefs,
that you could scam the Christians
that would later be called evangelical Christians
into believing that they needed to protect the Jews
and they needed to be in a country called Israel
that didn't exist.
And you could completely confuse their ideology
to radicalize Jews to recruit an army
to destabilize the region and make sure the oil resources didn't compete with the American Empire.
And so it's basically an ideology that says the Jewish people should be on this land.
And they should be able to kick out whoever's on there.
And it needs to be a Jewish, you know, the only Jewish land in the world.
And therefore, they created all of this crazy propaganda to justify what essentially they were doing is what America was created in the first place,
which is the Europeans were radicalized into believing that they were freeing religious persecution.
And they were. These ops aren't about faking things. It's about doing them and then weaponizing them.
So there was religious persecution, which you create.
then you take all of those people and say they're doing God's work and you ethnically cleanse,
rape, massacre and pillage the local population. And so America was created by a genocide.
The British Empire used this continually. And this is what essentially they were going to do
in Palestine because there was, you know, empires were colliding at this time. The Ottoman Empire,
the british empire the french empire and various other powers the russian empire and various other
powers uh and so anyway um 1917 they just declared uh parts of the ottoman empire that
was occupied by the brits over to the zionists and the declaration was made to a Walt Rothschild So it was the Rothschilds that actually organized this
And it was a settler colonial movement
to plonk a new nation called Israel on top of Palestine.
And the way you do that is you control the media,
you rewrite the narratives,
you say that it was just a desert with nobody there.
and essentially there were Jewish people there,
there were Muslims there, there were Christians.
Originally, in Abrahamic faith, everyone was a Jew
and then some converted to Christianity
and then some converted to Islam.
And so the land at this time was majority Muslims
with a minority Christian and a minority Jewish.
The Jews were always welcome.
If they were escaping the persecution that they were suffering in Europe, then they were welcome to Palestine.
What wasn't welcome is a settler colonial movement in order to rape, pillage, steal, expel them from their land, take over their land, and expand it and expand it and expand it, which they're doing to this day, still to this day.
And the utility of it shifted over time.
Originally, it was just a mechanism for expanding a debt-based Ponzi scheme.
It was also then a mechanism for ensuring that the oil-rich companies can't compete with the American empire and the British empire.
And then over time, it became a tool for the military-industrial complex, where they created this business model, which is agitate a war, profit from war, destabilize the region, overthrow the government, install a patsy for your agenda,
take all the resources so that all the resources work for your country and then at some stage get
them in debt slavery mess up their currency through currency manipulation install a western
central bank that becomes a shareholder in the bank for international settlements
use the international monetary fund to get debt slavery and the world bank
and then fully vassalize them into a neo-colonial financial colony.
And at that stage, you can do whatever you want with the country.
And when you want to rebuild it, you can issue massive loans.
And today, if you look at what they're doing today,
they essentially want to wipe out all the buildings,
profit from the military industrial complex.
They're all U.S. stocks.
then have the rebuild contracts
US stocks
and then implement a technocratic surveillance state
and police state
which is US stocks
and so through this mechanism
you have full technical, financial
and military vassalization
you wash your inch repeat
why are they doing this?
get back to the roots because the post Bretton Woods World War II system required a continual
growth of debt forever and in perpetuity so that people would end up with dollars they would print
their own currencies inflate their own currencies destroy the wealth of their own people through
these corrupt governments take on dollar debt and then that would create a continual demand for
dollars. Once you got those dollars, what do you do? You buy treasuries, you lend it to the US
government. And then the US government then hands over the money that they borrow to the US companies.
And then those US companies rage a war on the very country that was lending it to them
in the first place. And then all of this, and you just have this cycle and cycle and cycle until
you've got 37 trillion dollars of debt uh where where it is today um and uh you know it kind of
eventually it starts cannibalizing itself and that's where i think we are today i'm sorry i
jumped around a lot but no i love it i love i love all the history and and taking uh taking people
down these these um rabbit holes and a few things i want to just uh like point out as well in that
in that um presentation for want of a better word uh that you said about um going all the way back
to 1694 the creation of the bank of england that that coincided with the um the house of orange
right that the dutch royals coming across to the uh to uk to clear house to get that put in place
so that the british and the french could then go to war and that could all be funded uh then fast
forward a little bit to 1812, you had the Battle of Waterloo, where Rothschild had his agent on
site during the battle, got the news before everybody else, and then basically dumped
everything on the stock exchange, tricked everybody into believing that Britain had lost the battle,
and then 24 hours later, bought everything back for pennies on the dollar. That's why they are so
damn, and still to this day, so damn powerful, because they just cleaned out everything. I think
I think in that instance, in fact, they took over the Bank of England.
I can't remember exactly.
And then on all of this, you've got usury just all the way down.
Like, you know, just a basic example, like the mortgage.
You know, you walk in, you take out a mortgage, you give over your life savings, which represents
actual work, energy, skills, knowledge, and time spent earning that money.
That's just gone because you give that to the bank.
they then print the 350 000 pounds on top of that so you can go and buy your dream house which you
owe their money on so you they are charging you money on money that didn't exist so you're you're
right to the freaking very heart of of usury here it's so disgusting and so criminal uh and then the
last thing uh you called it uh yeah you were talking about the aldrich plan and i want to
point this out as well for those people oh you conspiracy theorists whatever else so nelson
Aldrich was the guy that was charged with putting the meeting together in 1910 on Jekyll Island.
And if anybody's ever heard of the Rockefeller family, they know John D. obviously was the head.
He had one son, John D. Jr. He had five sons, I think, in the end. One of those sons was called
Nelson Rockefeller. And you'd be shocked to know that his middle name was Aldrich.
So yes, there's the direct link for anybody that is sitting there thinking,
no, these guys are just crazy.
There's your ties.
And there's still plenty more as well that we could go through.
But I want to now get on to some Bitcoin stuff,
like what's going on today in the Bitcoin world.
And there's two things going on.
Right now, we have the debate, Core vs. Nots.
And we'll put that aside for a second,
because I want to get into Bitcoin treasury companies with you.
Now, I think there has to be a clear definition
as to what a Bitcoin treasury company is.
For me, a company, a small to medium-sized enterprise,
a mom-and-pop store, a cafe, your bar, your restaurant,
barbers, whatever it is, your mechanic,
who is taking X amount of profit per month
to buy Bitcoin for their business
is not a Bitcoin treasury company in my eyes.
The Bitcoin treasury company are the ones that are backed by venture capital that has been compiled in the background for a founder then to go and acquire an existing company, a shell company that's barely existing on a stock exchange somewhere, anywhere in the world, it seems.
and buy that so they can get straight to listed,
then the venture capital company can start loading up on Bitcoin
through this vehicle and use magazines and podcasts
and conferences and whatever else to hype the hell out of this stuff,
to attract money.
And this is the really worrying part, Simon,
especially for UK people,
because it's attracting money from Bitcoiners.
Nobody else cares about Bitcoin treasury companies,
not the wider retail market.
just Bitcoiners who have fiat currency that they can't use locked up in a pension fund,
which they're not going to be able to get hold of for another 10, 20, 30, 40 years, depending on your age.
So from what I can tell, venture capital is using these vehicles to dump on people's pension funds.
What's your take on all of this stuff?
okay let me uh i'll tie a few concepts together um and then we'll get into um answering that
question so where are we today um we have at the end of all the the history we just just uh talked
about um we have what i call a proof of weapons network and i stole that name from bitcoin it was
called bitcoin proof of work um the reason i use it as weapon is because it uses weapon
weapons in order to perpetuate the dollar. All these schemes in order to push the demand for
dollars so that you can lend it to the government and roll over the debt-based Ponzi scheme.
Whether it be invading oil-rich companies and getting them to price oil in dollars and the
petrodollar. Whether it be selling technology global through software as a service, where you
take your local currency, you then make a payment, it buys dollars and then spends it with Google.
whether it be other consumer applications like Amazon where you have operations like COVID which
wipe out all the small business and make you buy online. Tariffs as well wiped out all the small
business that can't afford the tariff negotiations and the large multinational corporations end up
acquiring all the companies. That's one that's happening right now as we speak.
and you know so you've got technical you've got military and then obviously financial which is
pushing out dollar debt everywhere and pricing gold in oil and all of this hyper financialization
and securitization of everything so you take anything put it on the US stock market and you
have to buy dollars in order to invest in those ETFs in those whatever products you know
and so that's the whole financialization even in the crypto world stable coins you know you issue
a stable coin it's backed by dollars you lend it to the government and then they found a new
mechanism for selling treasuries so all of these different systems are just covert operations
in order to roll over the debt-based ponzi scheme federal reserve now has 10 trillion dollars
The banking system has another $10 trillion and your pension has another $10 trillion.
All that $37 trillion of debt and all the other things is all, you know, the next buyer of last resort, as it were.
So this is what I call the proof of weapons network.
You weaponize media.
You weaponize military.
You weaponize financial weapons of mass destruction.
you weaponize technical weapons of mass destruction and you weaponize consumption Because those that consume on debt you only have two choices One of your choices is you buy assets And so the rich find
ways of leveraging debt to accumulate assets. And hopefully those assets outperform the interest on
the debt. If you do that successfully, you get on the wealthy side of the world. If you don't do
that and you get in the credit card trap, the student loan trap, the mortgage trap, the debt
trap, and you never escape, then you just spend money on consumption and have no assets to beat
the resulting inflation. That's the K-shaped economy. So the rich get richer, the poor get
poorer. 90% of all stocks are now controlled by 10% of wealthy. Okay. You financialize everything,
you securitize everything, and now you tokenize everything. And you create real world assets.
That's the latest buzz feed. And that's your mechanism for keeping the debt-based Ponzi alive.
Within that construct, you have a few essential players. Let's call it a financial industrial
complex. And it's one big, maybe the most important division in the proof of weapons network.
Technical is important. Military is important. But financial runs the show today. You know,
Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard, Fidelity. These are all
very important nodes in the proof of weapon network. Okay. So what they do is they have
access to private equity, which is where at the lower scale venture capital, you lend them money.
So you get all these fake VCs that look like celebrities. But what they're doing is they're
just borrowing money and investing it. So you think like they've got all this money because
they're a mega bazillionaire. They just got on the right side of the proof of weapons network
and managed to get access to credit so that they could buy,
borrow that money and buy shares in companies.
And then they would leverage that with other people that want to invest as well.
So that's the private equity industry.
Venture capital on the riskier sides.
And so you have industries like Silicon Valley.
And what was Silicon Valley created by?
Again, a bunch of fake entrepreneurs were given military technology
and they were allowed to use it, whether it be GP.
Every single major technology in Silicon Valley, from GPS to artificial intelligence to the internet to everything, was created by the military industrial complex through Pentagon budgets.
And it was privatized by selecting these entrepreneurs like Elon Musk that were able to take over those companies, leverage the financial industrial complex to manipulate shares, as long as they pay bull to the Proof of Weapons Network.
then they would become a technology bazillionaire a celebrity through the media
and would be idolized as an icon an idol within america as a celebrity entrepreneur
then they would have influence so they're allowed to buy x he's allowed to buy x he's allowed to use
this technology the condition is you need to take the government assets which the taxpayer paid for
They didn't pay for it. The debt paid for it. And they get to utilize it and privatize it so the banks can control it and take it over.
Then you have Silicon Valley, you have private equity, you have venture capital, and then you have the debt capital markets, which is the bond market, and the equity capital market.
The equity capital market is where essentially you can control the entire system.
So if you turn everyone and everything into a product, you launch it on the stock market,
then you're able to use your what's called a cantillion effect, your proximity to the central bank to borrow at virtually 0%,
While the average schmo is paying 40% on credit cards, the bigwigs are paying 0% in quantitative easing.
So they're able to borrow at virtually 0% or thereabouts.
They could go to the Bank of Japan, they could borrow some 0% money, hedge out the currency risk, and buy stocks.
And so these people that have these public companies get to utilize the full extent of the debt capital markets.
borrow money at the cheapest rate possible to buy back stocks and goldman sachs and all the hedge
funds and all the other people they get to manipulate prices short term you know long term
is just based upon how much money is printed there's no fundamental value in these stocks
anymore it's not a reflection of business it's not a reflection of cash flows it's not a price
to earnings ratio it is a federal reserve ratio like it's the the stock market has no bearing on
reality, business, economic reality whatsoever. It's just, can you print more money and pump it
into the market? And so as long as you can do that, you get the ability to control these stocks.
Now all you need, you've got, you've financialized every product. You've taken all the private
business. You created Silicon Valley, where you get this feeder fund of businesses. They all end
up in Google or Meta or those at the top of the chain, the public companies. But you get this flow
of always acquiring them in. And it was done by, rather than, you know, giving it to the entrepreneur
itself, it's done by private equity and venture capital, which borrowed the money in the first
place. So it's a very elaborate scheme. And so then you get to the point where, well, where's,
so we've got the sales side, we've got all these products. What's the buy side? Okay, well, what we
need to do is we need to force every employer to have an employee pension scheme. And then they
have to manage their money with us, the asset managers. And we make the financial system is so
complicated that you end up just handing it over to BlackRock or State Street or Vanguard or
Fidelity or any of the others. And then they get a continual flow of buy side volume.
Then you get all the money that's going into these universities and colleges, endowments.
Then you get all the money that's going into insurance premiums, and you manage all of that
money. Then you get all of the self-invested pensions. And then you create a new product
called an ETF. And an exchange traded fund says, look, the market's complicated. You don't want to
buy 500 stocks why don't you just buy one stock and we'll buy the 500 for you um and we'll we can
do that at scale and so yeah that's a good deal i just i don't want to pick the stocks you just
tell me which one is even though the stock market's about 10 stocks now everything else is doing badly
when priced in gold and a few tech companies are doing well but anyway that's not the point um an
ETF means that you have the ability to have a constant flow of buy pressure into all of
these stocks. Because someone's saying, I want access to the 500 stocks, and BlackRock's
saying, I'll buy 500 stocks. And so you keep buying and buying and buying and buying and
buying. And this ETF industry gets bigger and bigger and bigger. And now BlackRock becomes
$11 trillion asset manager. So what does BlackRock do? BlackRock says, right, well,
essentially, I want a board seat on all of these companies. And so BlackRock says,
I'll take a board seat on 20,000 companies. We'll install our boards. You can have 10 board seats
here, 10 board seats there. So how does it work? You're an entrepreneur. You're the executive.
you're running the business. The executive answers to the board. The board is a standoff
board which is installed by the investors, represents the shareholders. So the shareholders,
the executives work for the board, the board works for the shareholders.
The shareholders are able to install their board based upon how big their position is.
And so the biggest shareholder in all of these public companies is BlackRock, State Street,
and Vanguard. And so what they need is they need more ETFs, more and more ETFs, more and more public
companies, more and more. The financial industrial complex goes and churns and churns and churns,
tokenize, financialize, securitize, do as much of that as you can. And we'll churn out board members
and then we'll get the voting control in those companies. And we've got boards,
you know board control and shareholder control they work for us everyone works for us at that
point everybody works for the asset manager at that stage now Goldman Sachs can say yeah but
if we don't continue to issue these debt and sell these bonds and do all this this stuff
so they've got power as well so you have a financial industrial complex that creates the
products, buys the products. And if you succeed, you're in that chain. And Silicon Valley is the
gateway drug. So if you've got a company that's like Michael Saylor, Michael Saylor works within
that construct. He works for the board. The board works for the shareholders. And the largest
shareholder is BlackRock. And what is BlackRock? BlackRock is essentially, I call it the CEO of
the Proof of Weapons Network. Because they did, not only did they get share control, but they did
two other things. They created artificial intelligence technology that aggregates
financial data at a scale that nobody else achieved. And so they got something called
Aladdin. And through Aladdin, all the central banks use their artificial intelligence technology
to manage their monetary policy.
So during the financial crisis,
the Federal Reserve used Aladdin
in order to decide that Barclays
has to divest their ETF division,
Barclays iShares,
and sell it to BlackRock.
And BlackRock got a loan in order to buy it.
And so they ended up with the biggest ETF department
because they were implementing the technology
that the Federal Reserve said,
Barclays iShares,
you need to sell your technology. Goldman Sachs said, hey, guess what? We're not an investment
bank anymore. We're a retail bank. And because they're a retail bank, they got access to bailout
money because investment banks don't get access. So Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns go down.
Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, BlackRock get everything. You consolidated everything.
And they did it all with the paycheck of the money printer. And so now you've got this proof,
you know you got all of this control in this control what happened during covid treasury said we going to do helicopter money How do we allocate this money Oh Aladdin can you help us figure out what to do with all this money
And so BlackRock got the contract with the Treasury in order to do fiscal policy.
So BlackRock is managing fiscal policy, monetary policy, is a board member on every share,
and has the largest shareholding through its ETF positions.
And, you know, when you control all of the different companies, what type of companies do you have?
well who's the largest shareholder in lockheed martin general dynamic raytheon palantir
tesla what what are these companies well palantir is creating technology to engage in occupation
as a service in the west bank in in palestine it is also doing genocide as a service
in Gaza. It is also the integration between the drones in Ukraine. It is also doing crowd control
during the Hajj celebration in Saudi Arabia. It has also got all of the UK data from the NHS,
the Department of Defense, taxpayers, HMRC, and is consolidating it all in order to have a police
state and a pre-crime surveillance state within the UK. It is also doing that across Europe,
where it's manufacturing civil unrest in order to make sure that people use Palantir's technology.
Who was the founder of Palantir? Palantir was funded by the CIA Venture Arm and Peter Thiel,
and Peter Thiel Founders Fund was funded by Jeffrey Epstein, and then you go down all these
different rabbit holes. The point is that these are fake entrepreneurs that allow to privatize
companies that had Pentagon budget that was stolen from the American people.
And if they don't own no shares, they get on the wrong side of the K-shaped economy. If they own
no shares, they get on the right side. And you're essentially creating this environment of massive
wealth confiscation and massive centralized control. And that's what I call the proof of
weapons network. What's underneath those military companies? Let's call it the military-industrial
complex. The deep state. What's the deep state? The CIA, which is now partnered with Mossad,
MI6, Five Eyes. All right, so they get the Pentagon budget. So trillions goes missing
in a Pentagon budget, which is part of the $37 trillion debt. That goes to Pentagon.
Pentagon then goes to Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics.
General Dynamics then contract the CIA.
Who does the CIA work for?
Do they work in the interest of the national security of the American people?
Or do they work in order to agitate wars for Lockheed Martin in order to prop up the demand for dollar globally in this network?
And what else do these companies do?
All of these companies pull together into lobby groups.
and those lobby groups by congress by senate and bribe judicial and run covert black op operations
like Jeffrey Epstein as a contractor because there was one part of the CIA I never told you
when I was getting there before the CIA was created to launder money via the Vatican Bank
as a partnership between the Jewish mafia the Italian mafia the Nazis and then it was
in order to do Banana Republic, which was to, you know, create wars in Central and South America
in order to support U.S. companies. The CIA works for the corporations. They don't work for national
security. And how do they get their budget? Well, they fund black op operations, drug trafficking,
human trafficking, weapons trafficking, sex trafficking. So when Trump says we're going to
bomb Venezuela in order to stop drugs. He's bombing the wrong people. He's meant to be
bombing the CIA. That's an inside job. Drugs, the drug crisis in America is meant to happen.
It's inflicted by your own corporate structure. And the CIA works for the proof of weapons network.
And so you have this decentralized network. Now, who owns BlackRock? Who owns State Street?
Who owns Vanguard? Well, those are public companies. And so those public companies can be acquired by anybody that wants to buy them. China can buy them. Russia can buy them if the sanctions allow them. Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, the American pensions, they invest in each other.
so you have this decentralized power structure that essentially allows you to buy the collective
west and so if you've got a bunch of oil and you've got dollars you can say i'm not going to
lend it to the u.s government i'm going to buy blackrock shares and now you influence the entire
collective west once you influence the entire collective west and i will promise you i'll get
to Bitcoin, but we'll go over. I hope this is interesting to people. I know it's long-winded,
but I think it explains so many things. This is why governments flood their countries with
immigrants after creating wars and then close the borders and then create civil unrest so that they
can implement technology to control the population. And then the solution is a digital idea, central
bank digital currency, a stable coin, scare the shit out of you in order to make you opt
into things because, hey, I'm not even going to leave my house anymore.
Because there's genuine knife crime all across the UK.
There's shootings all across America.
Ukraine is a war zone that is owned by BlackRock and Russia now.
And we're being told by Keir Starmer that we need to send $3 billion a year to Zelensky,
who was installed by the Proof of Weapons Network.
And who controls all these elections?
Nobody in the UK supports Keir Starmer.
I don't know.
I have not met one British person that says,
he's my man.
I love that guy.
Because Macron works for the Proof of Weapons Network.
He might as well have an office in BlackRock and Lockheed Martin.
So does Keir Starmer.
So does Trump.
Trump is a bit of a controversial one.
People think he's controlled opposition.
Nobody is bigger than this system.
Zelensky works for it.
It is laundering money back into this proof of weapons network.
And all drugs, all human trafficking, they're all permitted by the intelligence network.
The intelligence network are contracted through Pentagon budget.
Pentagon budgets go to military companies.
Military companies are owned by the asset managers.
The asset managers are public companies.
and so as power dynamics in the world changes there's no allegiance to america there's no
america first there's no britain first there's no europe first there's only company first and
these companies can say like goldman sachs did why don't we create something called brips
and so goldman sachs says hey the dollar is only going to work for so long it will be just like
the pound eventually. So let's rinse everything we can out of it. And then eventually, we're going
to have to work with China and work with Russia and work with India. So why don't we create a
little bit of tension between India and Pakistan? China's vassalizing Pakistan. It used to be IMF
controlled. Modi's our man. Modi's kind of independent, but maybe we can agitate a little
bit of aggression there. And then they have to buy more of our weapons. They have to, but it
didn't quite work and so america is failing at covert operations like they've never failed before
we're seeing failure after failure after failure now because the proof of weapons network is
negotiating with alternative power structures they don't want america first they created they
want bricks they want multi-polar world but they'll always host their nation in america and
And the American capital markets will vassalize the whole of Europe, the whole of Australia,
Canada, anything within the sphere of influence.
And so it's just one block controlled by essentially.
And who's in charge of BlackRock?
Well, Larry Fink now goes to work for interim director of the World Economic Forum.
They'll meet with all their friends at Bilderberg meetings.
These are not conspiracy theories.
ask chat gpt ask ai if these things are happening these things are happening and there is a global
corporate agenda that um is somewhat decentralized but not accountable and controls governments
kia starma all of these politicians are installed nobody is selected they're elected
you know they're not elected they're selected by this network and all their job is to do is to put
a narrative on top. So with all of that, let's get into Bitcoin. I'm sorry, but I hope it was useful.
So that's the proof of weapons network. Proof of work is a resistance against proof of weapons.
Proof of work does a few things. It allows you to own your own money in self-custody.
Once you own it in self-custody, you can spend it peer-to-peer to anyone that
also wants to open a wallet. And you can't change the money supply. Those are the three most
important things about Bitcoin. Money you can own, money you can spend, and money that has a fixed
supply. Nobody controls the monetary policy. Now, if you want to control the monetary policy,
you have to do a lot. You have to take over over 50% of the mining network. You have to spend an
amount of money that is completely infeasible to even a nation state today. You have to take
control of all the nodes. You have to own as much Bitcoin as possible. And you have to corrupt
developers and persuade developers to change the code. And even then is virtually impossible
because proof of work is simply the largest distributed supercomputer in the world with a
bunch of nodes that back up and verify their own transactions, and no one part of the ecosystem
with an open-sourced developer community. Okay, there's a bunch of weaknesses at every part of
the chain, but combine them all together, it's the best we've got, and no one's ever going to
be able to compete with it. So Bitcoin is it. Proof of work will never be created again. It was a
freak that was created at a time when nobody cared, when there was no price, everyone thought
it would fail i personally um i don't like to say this because people go deeper it's open source code
i do think it actually came out of a resistance against intelligence from factions in intelligence
uh personally i believe that but it doesn't matter uh because it was mined and created in a fair way
it's open source code there's no backdoor it exists on a distributed supercomputer and it's
backed up on nodes all around the world so there's no way of controlling it it's not google it's not
a centralized service.
So it doesn't matter.
But, you know,
Another time, we'll do another podcast where we can go down that rabbit hole.
But so there you have proof of work.
The important thing is that when you have the most scarce asset in the world that's ever existed,
and we've never had anything as scarce, maybe an Ammona Lina painting, but you can't use it as money.
So once you've got something that will only ever have 21 million Bitcoin, and nobody can change it.
and you can hold it in self-custody and you can send it to anybody else without permission
that is game-changing that is absolutely revolutionary and it's the only thing we
got like that you know remember gold gold is hard to send globally i love gold i'm not
criticizing gold i think people should own gold um it serves a very important hedge if the internet
goes down. But gold is very hard to audit. You have to hold it in somebody else's coffers once
you earn it at scale. And it's not got the practicality of digital scarcity, and it's not
as scarce. So Bitcoin is a game changer in that sense. There reached a point when the Proof of
weapons network needed to recognize that this is probably a really useful tool when we transition
from a dollar dominated world to a multipolar world. And I think that Bitcoin will be used as
a currency of a power structure in that transition. And so that created what I call two-tiered Bitcoin.
Bitcoin that gives more power to the proof of weapons network and Bitcoin that resists against the proof of weapons network.
And the one that resists is held in self-custody with somebody running their own node with competing implementations of code on the largest distributed supercomputer, this mining network, which is geographically diversified globally with no affiliation to one country and doesn't have too much power in any of these capital markets.
and so we have this struggle to keep bitcoin as decentralized as possible
and don't treat this as a bad thing because it's more decentralized than anything in the world
but there's always pockets of weaknesses that a paranoid community should always be keeping an eye
Now, what happened in 2021? Well, a bunch of people created companies to persuade people that if you give your Bitcoin to me, I'll give you some yield and you can end up with more Bitcoin.
And if you give your Bitcoin to my exchange, I'll allow you to get exposure to Bitcoin on leverage.
And if you give your Bitcoin to me, I'll use it as collateral and give you a fiat currency loan.
All of that went rampant in 2021.
So people were asking for yield on their Bitcoin, people were borrowing against their Bitcoin,
and people were leveraging their Bitcoin in order to trade and speculate.
all user-ist concepts that are guaranteed to end up with you having less Bitcoin at the end of it,
unless you're part of the 1% in the proof of weapons network that can influence it because
you've got access to the fiat currency money printer. Now, my personal belief, and this engages
in speculation and conspiracy theories, but what are conspiracy theories? They're theories of
conspiracies. And I theorize that Operation Chokepoint 2.0 was a conspiracy to take down
parts of the crypto market and replace it with the Proof of Weapons Network two-tiered Bitcoin
system. So how did they do that? Let's take one company, Celsius. I made the mistake of thinking
it was a good idea to take less than 1% of my Bitcoin, put it in Celsius, borrow against it,
an experiment with taking out a fiat currency loan rather than selling my Bitcoin. It was a mistake,
but I ended up the seventh largest creditor in a bankruptcy process once he scammed all the money
and took it down. And so, you know, he's now in prison today. Went to prison, Alex Mijinsky,
for 12 years. But I spent two years of my life engaging in a bankruptcy process.
to me it was it was a meaningless percentage of my wealth but it still made me one of the
largest creditors in the bankruptcy and there were 650,000 victims some of who committed suicide
lost their life and were persuaded by this person to put their entire pension
their entire life savings and leverage up their whole house and their whole life
to only lose their Bitcoin and become bankrupt
and have a tax bill to pay for it
and have to engage in a legal process for two years.
So I decided to hang around for two years
and help a bunch of people out in that bankruptcy.
And I had some money.
I'd rather have that Bitcoin back.
So, but when you look at it,
and there was only one,
I went into detail around all these bankruptcies,
But there was one where I went every detail, including lobbying in court, persuading the judge not to sell the Bitcoin, doing all sorts of stuff.
So I went through 4000 pages of legal documents over two years because I obsessed.
It became my topic for two years where I did nothing else but really engage in what the hell is going on in this process.
It was incredibly interesting to me because I'm a geek and the legal process was interesting to me.
But because I knew all the details that very few know, I know that Celsius was created by a Zionist IDF called Alex Majinsky and co-founded by Daniel Leone, who's now in Israel that has a business with the Prime Minister's Office of Israel, whose wife was the head of loans, who now works for the IDF as head of social media propaganda.
that was part of putting out in the New York Times
that UNRWA was involved in October the 7th
that led to the starvation and famine campaign
that's currently happening in Gaza right now
through their propaganda.
And one of the things that lost the balance
was 35,000 ETH was stolen through a hack
through a company called BancorDAO.
And BancorDAO, when you look at the shareholders
of that company was the largest shareholders were the niece and nephew of Benjamin Netanyahu.
And so you had a hack that was happening at the Israeli level with the head of lending that was
issuing these loans at the Israeli level, with the guy that was going on YouTube every week telling
people that they should empty out their life savings and get yield on their Bitcoin. That was
the guy that went down to prison while all the others ended up fleeing to Israel and now have AI
startups with the prime minister's office of Israel when Benjamin Netanyahu's family hacked
one of those things makes me question conspiracy theory again whether all those things that we're
told are Korean hacks are actually maybe Israeli hacks you know we're always told that it's the
communists but what was the way that you you you create the enemy right you know this is how you do
it anyway that's we're going down conspiracy theories but hey we can do that um and uh
so anyway because i knew every detail about celsius i knew that this was an operation
and it led to 650 000 victims on a 25 billion dollar ponzi scheme that destroyed many americans
retirement and pension where some of them lost their life and had to flee to El Salvador to try
and rebuild their life again because they couldn't afford to live in America anymore at age 70.
You know like this is the type of thing that I experienced um throughout this. Now that's just
one what if I had done the same for FTS? You know where did Sam Bankman-Fried came come from?
I remember never hearing of Sam Bankman-Fried in 2016 and I knew everyone I knew everyone.
I was a shareholder in most of the companies.
Suddenly, there's this whiz kid that we're told is the man in crypto that made loads of money out of Bitcoin through the Japanese carry trade by arbitraging between South Korea and Japan and made loads of Bitcoin.
And suddenly, he's the only person that's writing regulations for Senate.
And he's the only person that can get a meeting with Gary Gensler at the SEC.
Coinbase couldn't get a meeting.
Like the biggest companies in the industry
couldn't even meet the head of the SEC.
But Sandbank and Fried could.
And, you know, so who is that guy?
And yeah, I didn't spend the same level of detail,
but just an overview.
I saw some of the monetary flows.
I saw the funds that were going through the Ukrainian accounts.
I saw the bribes with the Chinese banks.
But then what cases dropped?
Political bribery.
They said, right, we got him on seven counts. Let's not do the other two. We don't need to look at the political bribery stuff. Let's not look at those monetary flows. Let's not look at all the real estate transactions and who was behind the bohemian side and where that went back to. But I can pretty much tell you, it went back to the same places that I found in Celsius.
And so that's just two. You could go through BlockFi, you could go through Voyager, and I did dug a little bit deeper, and I could tell you similar stories.
Okay, so now we've got all these cases.
What was the end result?
The end result is we had Terra Luna blow up.
We had oil prices after the Russian invasion that led to the spiking in oil prices.
Inflationary, Federal Reserve said inflation is transitionary.
Suddenly we had to spike rates.
that bankrupted a bunch of treasury bond investors.
We had the fall of Silicon Valley Bank.
We had the taking out of Silvergate Signature.
We had Celsius that went into Chapter 11,
Voyager that went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy,
FTX that went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Binance that only got four months didn't go into bankruptcy,
but was told you need to install a US compliance department,
immediately started complying with the IDF
and shutting down accounts of Palestinians, Turks, Lebanese, on request from the Prime Minister's office of Israel,
had a US compliance team installed was able to become a shareholder and then suddenly started doing deals with the Trump administration through his stablecoin at World Liberty Financial that led to Binance
having a $2 billion deal done through Trump's stablecoin, that he now gets $60 million of
interest based upon US debt, that then went back into the Qatari and Abu Dhabi sovereign
wealth funds so that you can have this transition and stable coins, tokenization, all the things
that are happening today.
If you took what's happening today, you could point it back to Operation Choke Point 2.0.
What came from that?
All the companies went into bankruptcy, a bunch of them.
And all of a sudden, BlackRock gets the ETF approved.
And all of a sudden, Trump comes in and he's the crypto guy.
And all of a sudden, we're going to give you a Bitcoin strategic reserve in order to save America.
But by the way, those Bitcoins, they belong to Bitfinex.
I know that.
I know that because I was a Bitfinex shareholder in 2016 and helped them.
And the Department of Justice took those Bitcoin after the hack, which, by the way, goes back to Israel as well, and Ukraine.
and after that hack, you know,
the Department of Justice got the money back
and you're telling me that's the Bitcoin strategic reserve?
No, that's, I own some of those Bitcoin.
I'm a shareholder in Bitfinex
and we helped a bunch of other shareholders.
Anyway, you know, you end up
with all the crypto-friendly banks being shut down.
You end up with the 24-7 bank rails
through stablecoins
and that allowed for
the funneling of money between Alamedia,
Celsius, FTX,
Voyager, BlockFi.
That all gets shut down. They're all in the same
bank, by the way, pushing money
around in the fiat currency rails
via their
blockchain network.
Where did they get that? Where did Silvergate
get that blockchain network? They bought it on Facebook.
Facebook was shut down for their
Libra project. The Libra
project ends up in Silvergate, Signature,
Silicon Valley Bank.
Silicon Valley Bank gets wiped out.
How does Silicon Valley Bank get wiped out?
I was on a space with
Mario Nafal
when Peter Thiel came up
and told everyone, withdraw your money
from Silicon Valley Bank.
Go ahead.
We still here? Yeah, go ahead.
Withdraw your money from Silicon Valley
Bank. Now we get a
run on the bank.
We get a crash of the bond market.
And who came up on the same space? Bill Ackman. Bill Ackman came up on the space and said, we need to save the US banking system. The entire system is going to collapse. And I will buy Silicon Valley Bank with a group of my investors for $1 as long as the Federal Reserve and FDIC bails out the system.
So FDIC takes over the crypto-friendly banks, shuts them down.
The executives at those banks said, we're fine.
One of them, two of them said we're not.
One of them said we're fine.
And Bill Ackman lobbied to try and buy that bank.
This is the same Bill Ackman that is deeply interconnected
between very questionable things with the assassination of Charlie Kirk at the moment.
Not saying anything there.
There's just questions to ask.
Those are being asked. But this mafia network seems to suddenly come back with, oh, right,
Bitcoin ETF. And so now we're in January 2024, the Bitcoin ETF launches, the most successful
launch of all time of ETFs. BlackRock ends up with like 700,000 Bitcoin. And what do we get next?
Trump comes along.
Trump says, we'll do the Bitcoin strategic reserve.
The crypto lobby paid for him.
The shitcoiners all paid for him to get in power.
And then suddenly we've got a shitcoin casino.
And what is the big thing that happens?
What is the first thing that actually happens?
Genius Act.
Genius Act had a mechanism for launching stablecoins, programmatic fiat currency.
and Elon Musk gets one, Trump gets one, JPMorgan gets one, Bank of America is going to have one.
All of the black portfolio companies are all getting their own stablecoin.
What else was in there? Well, JPMorgan lobbied to say only banks can issue yield on those stablecoins.
so now banks can do it and only federal reserve banks can utilize their reserves to issue stable
coins so now they can issue a stable coin on 3.5 trillion dollars of reserves at the federal reserve
which are bonds and they can pay yield and they can issue stable coins this is a covert central
bank digital currency where jp morgan is the chosen one and trump gets to get a bunch of
corrupt stuff through World Liberty Financial. And they all get to say, I'm the champion of Bitcoin.
I'm the champion of crypto. Crypto is going to change the world. Meanwhile, he launches a meme
coin scam, a bunch of NFTs, a casino on top of Ethereum, a stable coin backed by treasuries,
where the higher the yield on the debt, the more money he makes. And you end up with
rush for every company in crypto to go public.
Bracken, go public. Coinbase, already public. Robinhood, already public. Marathon, already public.
All the Bitcoin mining companies, please go public in America and host your Bitcoin mining in Texas.
And we'd like to become the number one shareholder. And we'll launch a blockchain ETF.
We'll also launch a Bitcoin ETF.
We'll also launch a shitcoin ETF.
We'll also launch an Ethereum ETF.
And by the way, SEC, can we stake those ETH?
When we stake it, it means that we control the network.
You know, we're the number one validator.
We get the governance.
Oh man, proof of work.
We can't control Bitcoin.
But can we become the number one shareholders
within as many Bitcoin mining companies?
What else can we do?
hey canter how would luck nick jeffrey epstein's neighbor how would luck nick you know the guy that
with steve wickhoff lent money to urban movers which was the company that was had bombs during
9-11 the israeli um the israelis that were arrested and were blacked out of the investigation
on 9-11 the ones that were celebrating with the dancing israelis and the and the israeli
Mossad artists that were in the building with the contract.
Those ones, you know, Steve Witkoff.
Oh, right.
So we now got Howard Lutnick as Treasury Secretary.
Sorry, the George Soros guy.
You talked about Bank of England and the euro.
What's his name?
Who's our Treasury Secretary?
Not in the UK, in the US.
I'm drawing a blank.
And he was part of the George Soros.
It will come back to me in a second.
You've got Howard Lutnick, Commerce Secretary, and you've got envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff.
This is the deep state mafia.
And they're all connected to the PayPal mafia, Elon Musk, David Sachs, Peter Thiel.
Elon got the contract to do Department of Government efficiency, which took all the CI data, all the Pentagon data, all the IRS data, all the government data,
integrated it into an artificial intelligence nightmare and then he's allowed to borrow against
his stock and buy x i'm the freedom of speech guy you guys talk while i build a social credit score
you say whatever you want i won't give you freedom of reach i won't accelerate your message unless
you're part of our network but if you're not part of our network say what you want and you can
algorithmically create your social credit score and I'll know exactly what you believe in. You
start talking about these things, you'll be penalized in the future and it'll be integrated
with these stable coins. But I'm the freedom of speech guy. And in the meantime, I'm going to do
covert operations to overthrow the government in Brazil and Venezuela. I'm also going to pretend
that I care about grooming gangs in the UK,
manufacture civil unrest.
I'm going to prop up Tommy Robinson,
an Israeli paid network.
And I'm going to suddenly collectively care
about the atrocities that happened
with these grooming gangs.
And that gives me more control over Keir Starmer,
more control over Macron,
more control for the proof of weapons network
because Elon is a node
of the technical industrial complex
for the BlackRock Proof of Weapons Network.
And have a public theatrical fallout with Donald Trump.
Yeah, everything's meant,
like what was the Zelensky humiliation ritual?
What did that lead to?
The Zelensky humiliation ritual was,
Trump's going to say, I pretend that I want peace.
The CIA doesn't want peace.
BlackRock is cashing in on Ukraine.
Palantir
Lockheed Martin
General Dynamic
the UK is collateralising all the debt
we're spending
3 billion dollars money printing
from the European Central Bank
Russia's going to take all the land in the end
anyway but Trump
you know American companies
get all the rare earth minerals that are
needed for those batteries, iPhones and laptops
and
that was
I'm going down too many rabbit holes
Anyway, let's get back to the crypto one. I've got to focus.
Scott Bessent was the name you were looking for.
Scott Bessent, thank you very much.
So Scott Bessent, the George Soros currency raider.
By the way, the price of the dollar in foreign currency terms has been going down and down and down.
Went from $102 to below $97.
The purchasing power domestically is causing massive civil unrest in America, massive divide.
at the same time as you know getting this left and right uh circus people thinking it's the
republicans it's the loony left democrats um it's the far right nazis like all of that shit you pick
your favorite narrative um it's the muslim invasion it's the zionist jews rule the world
all of that is a tool they don't care about any of it like pick your whatever narrative they'll
weaponize it It a useful tool And that creating real tensions to vassalize America further into the proof of Weapons Network and UK and European Union And anyway so back to the crypto side Operation Chokepoint 2 I believe was a coordinated
operation in order to create a two-tier Bitcoin system.
And Howard Lutnick, that's where I was going, Cantor Fitzgerald, you'll notice a commonality.
Trump got his sons to create World Liberty Financial.
Howard Lutnick got his son to run Cantor Fitzgerald.
Steve Witkoff was a shareholder in World Liberty Financial via his sons
for the stablecoin side.
So now you've got this trio, as it were.
And they're creating crypto capital.
Everyone's celebrating.
We're going to perpetuate the dollar, the proof of weapons network around the world using stable coins.
And we're going to have it integrated with Palantir, which is the artificial intelligence technology.
We're going to have a social credit score, which is why Elon got X and why Jack Dorsey was expelled for doing what every tech company has to do, which is give a backdoor to the NSA.
edward snowden told us that um so you've got this technocratic orwellian 1984 nightmare and by the
way this has nothing to do with trump replace trump with someone else he was just the guy that
was here to do that it was the same under biden it was the same under every single one of them
you know they they are they they're there to just put a narrative but silence what they're doing for
the proof of weapons network your vote matters don't you exactly your vote matters that's a
massive destruction the vote that does matter is your money and we will get to solutions in the end
your money is the real vote um but you had this operation um we'll call it operation
choke point 2.0 and in the end of it to have bitcoin on their balance sheet and they can
lever up. You have this deregulation environment for leverage on the exchanges. You have the
perpetuation of stablecoin as a national policy through Genius Act. You have the SEC saying,
go create as many shitcoins, memecoins, do what you like. I mean, I'm okay with that,
but this is what you have as the result. You have no Bitcoin strategic reserve other than
confiscation.
Let's call it what it is.
It's a Bitcoin stolen reserve.
Always will be, always going to be.
So we'll take the Bitcoin
if we can steal it from you,
but we ain't going to do anything else
because we're taking down the dollar.
That's the operation.
This is a multipolar world.
Trump is the guy that gets the profit from it.
Okay.
Then
you have
as many Bitcoin and Bitcoin ETFs,
then Cantor Fitzgerald comes out and says,
we've got an access to billions of dollars
because they're a discount broker
into the Federal Reserve
that we can lend you
if you put your Bitcoin with us.
So we've got Celsius 2.0,
different model under the sophistication
of the proof of weapons network.
Won't be the same type of fraud,
but it will be a rug ball.
And we then have as many public companies.
Let's take all these zombie companies
and let's put a face on them.
Michael Saylor,
you're brilliant at pitching Bitcoin.
You do that.
David Bailey, you do one.
Cantor Fitzgerald will get you the funding.
We'll get the investment bank.
We'll find the Shell company.
You go public and you get to create a pump and dump.
um uh jack mallers you get in bed with tether and the bank of japan soft bank mafia and canter
fitzgerald's mafia and i'm sorry jack mallers you probably don't know what you signed up for but
once you're in you never come out you can't leave that network charlie kirk tried to leave that
network i'm not joking i'm not joking you can't leave that network you have got yourself in bed
with forces that you may not understand. You need to stay there. And we'll create as many
public companies as we can to get as much Bitcoin as we can. So with Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin,
we now got 17% of the Bitcoin in ETFs and public treasury companies. And we've got a deregulation
environment. And guess what? If you own your Bitcoin with BlackRock, it's tax-free and you
can put it as part of your inheritance plan. You can do it via your 401k. And guess what?
Our 401ks are now opening up to more and more products. We'll buy a bunch of private equity,
a bunch of crypto. And now you can have index funds with all the shitcoin casino as well.
Why don't you use your index of a shitcoin, of a meme coin as collateral at the same time as diversifying your Bitcoin in collateral so that you can get your fiat currency loan and you can repackage your mortgage in order to take advantage of this Bitcoin revolution.
So they have created the Bitcoin industrial complex that tries to make you not own your Bitcoin in self-custody.
you don't need bitcoin you have our public company you don't need you don't need um bitcoin
put it here and we'll give you a fiat currency loan you don't need your bitcoin we'll give you
an etf and when we need to manipulate the markets like the federal reserve has done 20 times in its
history, some 20 pump and dumps, which ended up with the accumulation of more assets for
the proof of weapons network, we'll take your Bitcoin.
Because it's two-tiered Bitcoin.
It's Bitcoin in self-custody, and it's Bitcoin in the proof of weapons network.
So they have constructed, I believe, a multi-year operation in order to steal your Bitcoin.
it involves mining companies and let's get into the knots versus core
adam back mentioned in the white paper cypherpunk massive respect got nothing but respect for
everything that he used to do but suddenly he started pitching stable coins suddenly he started
getting involved in bitcoin treasury companies that's not the cypherpunk i knew and met and love
that's a very different version and suddenly he started being involved in blockstream
and i know that we're scarred from the bitcoin cash psyop back in the day but i think there was
a little bit of truth from the other side that maybe blockstream was an operation for the proof
of weapons network to be able to get some significant control over the developers maybe
I can't have evidence from that.
Just because the solution was the wrong solution, Bitcoin Cash Shitcoin, doesn't mean we shouldn't listen to the attack vectors that might have been underway at the time.
So you've got Blockstream that hires all the devs.
Luke Dash Jr. goes away.
Adam Back starts launching Bitcoin treasury companies.
and suddenly we got Zionists that believe in nuclear warfare,
like Peter Todd, that said we should increase the number of Bitcoin
that doesn't or says that he doesn't own any Bitcoin.
Like, that's not the Bitcoiners that I remember.
And these people are involved in core and code.
And then they get really upset when somebody else comes along
and says, why don't we can create a competing version
that might reduce what we perceive to be an attack vector,
which is shoving bad things in the blockchain.
Now, I'm not saying whether that's good or bad.
What I'm saying is, and I do have an opinion,
but this is the decentralized war that we have
whenever we're meant to have it.
Chaos is meant to be the way.
You know, that's how it happened with all the previous block wars
and various other wars in the sector.
But I think core needs to have a check and control.
I think it needs a competing implementation.
I think every human, whether they are good or bad,
this isn't an assessment on someone's character,
is capable of being attacked by the proof of weapons network.
Whether that be ransom, whether that be assassination,
whether that be Epstein, whether that be block streamed,
whether that be Cantor Fitzgerald, whether that be Bitcoin treasuried, whether that be stable coined.
They are all capable of being forced into this network voluntarily or involuntarily.
So we need a competing implementation because if Core is corrupt and gets corrupted,
we've got BlackRock that wants to be on the board of as many Bitcoin mining companies in America as possible.
We've got America that wants to get as much of the mining in Texas.
We've got BlackRock that now has these ETFs and actively managed funds that are buying Bitcoin.
And we have BlackRock that may want to get leverage over the core development community.
Now, we know that there's user-activated soft forks, and I have no doubt that Bitcoin can stand this attack.
But let's not be stupid, people.
Let's have competing implementations and let's make sure that Core knows if you're going down the wrong path, it doesn't matter.
We've got another plan.
And that's what solved the block war debate.
It's when the miners wanted to go down one route, the venture capitalists centralized many of the companies.
And the node operators said, no, we're going to do a user activated soft fork if you try and hard fork this in the wrong direction.
and then we ended up with the solutions that we ended up with but that's how bitcoin works
and we we can't be ignorant enough to think that we that there's not a lot of people
and the proof of weapons network would do whatever it can to control this proof of work network
yeah because i do think they want to weaponize it and i honestly like this idea of the trojan horse
Bitcoin being the Trojan horse and the Bitcoin treasury companies are building the bridge for all of this fiat to come across from that rail into the Bitcoin rail and free everybody and hyper Bitcoin eyes.
And it's like it's happening the other way around.
What's happening is it's validating the proof of weapons network through all of this financial engineering.
By the way, here's a fun go to go to any agent you want and just put in list all jobs, all engineering jobs.
And you'll get about 40.
Not one of them says financial engineering Not one of them it it ah but too many people are getting caught up in in this hype right now and you not building the bridge you
you're validating the existing system by doing that and um you're not helping the the joe on
the street get more bitcoin in their pocket you're just not so if people are buying these shares
instead of Bitcoin, they're getting counterparty risk with the brokerage firm that they've bought
the shares through. They're getting counterparty risk with the CEO of the company. And they're
just getting a share certificate in a computer. They're not taking self-custody of Bitcoin. The
only thing that you can actually have a loyal title over, that's it. It's the only property
we can truly own. You're not going to own your house because somebody can always come and take
it away from you and you've registered it and you're paying tax on it and whatever else. Even
if you're mortgage-free, you're still paying tax. That is still registered at a land registry
somewhere. And when you register something, you've given up ownership of it. Same with your car.
Even if you bought the car outright with cash, it's registered at the DVLA. It's their car.
the only thing we can have
truly
ownership over is Bitcoin
in self-custody.
End of story.
So
I just want to leave people on that
note because Simon, we've gone way
over time and I will please come back
because there's so much more for us
to talk about.
I'm going to do one
more segment for you because I want to
leave this on a high
because I've been involved in, you know, these are dark, this is dark shit.
And, you know, we talk about the black pill and the orange pill and the red pill.
You know, it is a black pill, how the world actually works.
But until you have an accurate representation of reality and truth,
and that involves going down some dark places,
And it involves theorizing about conspiracies that are happening in real time, because we still haven't been told the truth about Epstein or JFK or any of these things.
So they're never going to tell you. But we know with a good degree of accuracy and a geopolitical understanding.
And when you understand proof of work and proof of weapons, I like to think that the Bitcoin community, through this, you know, don't trust, verify type of mentality, would have been the ones that would be receptive to this message.
But there are agents out there, and I know this because I've been involved in the anti-war movement for a long, long time.
And, you know, I've been debating on spaces against the propaganda of saying that Zionism is about hating Jews and all sorts of stupid shit that's designed to censor you.
And I know that there are agents, that are agents of misinformation to manufacture consent to confuse you.
there are agents designed to make you give your bitcoin over to wall street um and so understand
that that you know this is the world we live in and unfortunately we are entering into a world
where we can't even trust what we see in front of us particularly with artificial intelligence like
i i don't trust anything anymore like and i think we're all going through that because
we all experienced those lockdowns so we all experienced like the lie after lie after lie
and we now know at this point categorically that they're willing to do the unthinkable they don't
care like they'll inject you with a vaccine if it if it's what they need to do um despite whatever
you know whatever we'll we'll all have our own theories but you have to go down these theories
And remember, Operation Mockingbird was an operation by the CIA to take over the media.
And all those talking heads on Fox News and CIN are actually CIA operatives to push a narrative to justify war, vaccines, whatever they need.
Putin's the biggie monster, whatever one's needed.
It's the communists. It's the Democrat lefties. It's the Republican far-right Nazis.
They're all there to do that.
And the word conspiracy theory was created by the CIA in order to weaponize and make you feel foolish so that you can just shut down conversation whenever you get close to what the CIA are up to.
We're never going to have confirmation.
We do have declassified documents.
I recommend books like Operation Gladio by Paul Williams and Covert Regime Change, where it goes through all the covert wars.
Lots and lots of books.
And so, you know, you do get declassified, but you have to theorize what is happening and you have to analyze. And my map of the world is follow the money, don't listen to the politician or media. And I don't get it right all the time. But when I follow the money, I get indications.
Like, for example, if you look at the balance sheet and the financial statements of Lockheed Martin and General Dynamic right now, you'll see that their contracts are switching from manufacturing contracts to AI and cybersecurity.
You'll also know that their budget and contracts in the Middle East are reducing and their contracts in Europe and Asia Pacific are increasing.
that's a leading indicator for what's coming next okay and so i'm just saying that's the type of
methodology that i use because i'm a finance geek and a monetary geek and everything is the opposite
of what they tell you everything is a lie everything is a complete lie and so how do we
function in a world where trust is so low and we can't trust what we see well sadly that is
the world we're in today and they're weaponizing it and so you need to protect yourself
like if you have subscribed to something like MAGA make America great again he ain't gonna
make America great again he's gonna make his donors great again and he was funded by three
people primarily Elon Musk the technical industrial complex for the proof of weapons network the
Mellon family, which is the financial industrial complex for BlackRock, and Edelston, which is the
Israel side. And Israel is an outpost for the military industrial complex, you know, that points
all back to the proof of weapons network. So he is as deep state as they get. And his job is to put
a narrative that makes you feel like he's helping you. He's not helping you. Okay, it's not how the
system works. And so with that in mind, what can you do to protect yourself? And I like to leave
people with an orange pill, you know, and the orange pill is that you can boycott the proof
of weapons network simply by buying proof of work, which is Bitcoin. No other proof of work
compares to Bitcoin. If you haven't figured that out yet, then please learn, listen to more podcasts,
Learn. It's a journey.
You'll understand why Bitcoin proof of work is different to everything else eventually.
Okay.
So then you get to boycott the proof of weapons network, the Federal Reserve.
You're outside of the system.
But they obviously want you to do that with BlackRock.
So that's an exile.
They want you to own an ETF instead.
So you can boycott BlackRock by owning it in self-custody.
Learn self-custody.
It's a skill.
It's not that hard.
if you haven't done it before.
It's like the first time you use a debit card.
You didn't know how to get the code.
You didn't know how to put it in the wall.
You didn't know how to call the number
and get the SMS.
You had to learn how to do that.
But once you did it,
you can now tap your card
and you know how to use it every time.
Sending Bitcoin in self-custody
is as easy as sending an email.
Once you learn it, just learn it.
You have to learn it.
You have to learn it
because you need to secure your identity
in the future.
your social media, your everything, your artificial intelligence.
Like if you're going to play in this new world,
you're either going to be on a universal basic income
in a central Orwellian 1984 central bank digital currency stablecoin standard,
or you're going to be in Bitcoin in self-custody.
And I put gold in that category as well.
So you boycott the Fed by owning Bitcoin.
That's money outside the system.
You boycott BlackRock by owning it in self-custody, getting the second tier of the two-tiered Bitcoin.
Then you don't borrow against it.
You own more Bitcoin every single month.
Now, historically, I can't promise you this will happen again, but I still do it to this day.
Ever since $3, I set myself a commitment to buy more Bitcoin every month.
I was deep in debt.
by the end of it my debt was insignificant relative to the bitcoin wealth and i achieved
something i never imagined was possible then i could go back and pay down my debt and in fact
this is a personal choice i can't give advice because there's consequences but the only way
i could escape is i stopped paying my debt and i bought bitcoin instead and that had consequences
I can't make that decision for you, but it worked for me.
And so by paying myself first and saving in Bitcoin and owning it in self-custody,
I managed to boycott the debt-based system.
In 2021, it went wrong for me because I betrayed my principles.
What did I do?
I put them on Celsius.
I borrowed against it.
I ended up in a bankruptcy.
Now, that was the plan, whatever life throws at you.
however you boycott the fiat currency system and the banks by not borrowing against it
and by buying bitcoin every month and if it outperforms all assets as it has historically
over a four to ten year cycle or or you know after ten years after four years of doing that
i've i've not i've got millions of people into bitcoin and after four years of doing that i've
never had one person come back to me and say, I'm sorry I did that. Everyone came back and said it
changed their life. They never looked back. And so then you don't even need to borrow. And that's
how you drain the swamp. You don't need to borrow. Some of you will borrow. I understand there's
financial considerations, but the less you do that, the more you boycott this system.
once you are wealthy and even today think about who you're purchasing from
am i handing my money over to blackrock and supporting the system that is doing harm to me
am i buying from my local farm or am i buying from a global institution boycott as many of
these global institutions as you can boycott the stock market by devesting and owning bitcoin
and be conscious with your money.
Now, it's not a perfect science.
I still need AI.
I still need an iPhone.
I've got to be productive.
But where I can, I figure out how I can boycott those companies and support my local farm and my local community.
And when I'm investing, I think about, am I investing something that helps decentralization or support centralization?
You know, just become conscious.
And if we all do that, we drain the swamp.
And here's the real thing.
Your vote doesn't matter.
Politicians are not elected.
They are selected by the Proof of Weapons Network.
but who are the proof of weapons network they are a group of companies that have a share price
and when you impact that share price and bottom line and profit they listen i've seen it time and
time again the ceo of starbucks was overthrown because all the people in malaysia that were
boycotting zionism because they were investing in settlements in um west bank um got the overthrow
of the board by boycotting. And so don't let them believe that it doesn't work. It does work.
And even if it doesn't work, at least I personally believe money has spiritual energy.
If you're spending blood money, that comes with consequences. I don't know your religious or
spiritual belief, but my belief is that we meet our maker and we answer to our maker.
and so even if it's karma whatever's right for you i'm not preaching here but whatever is right
for you there is blood money money has energy that comes with it and so make sure that your
money has good energy and it's supporting local and then that's you either get to exit the system
and you're okay in your little silo in your community and you can help more people and you
an orange pill more people, or we actually have an impact and we become more powerful
than a proof of weapons network. Sadly, too many people gave their Bitcoin to the tier
one Bitcoin, and you're making the proof of weapons network more powerful. And so I don't
have faith that we'll be able to defeat that network. But I think we should all aim to
live here. And those things we can do. And so that's what I encourage everybody to do.
Boycott the system and proof of work is the orange pill for the black pill of proof of weapons network.
Compute to truth. Study harder. The world is way more evil in this network than you think is possible.
But there's a beautiful side to the world and way more people are good people.
But there's a few bunch of psychopaths that control this system.
And you just need to know how to figure out how to work So vote with your money and we leave it there and we do another podcast in the future Yeah I look forward to it mate I really do because there so many other topics that I wanted to get into
But you've nailed absolutely everything.
Really appreciate everything you're doing.
Please, if nobody's listened to Bitcoin Hard Talk, go and subscribe.
Help Simon spread the message as far wide and as possible.
Where can people find you?
What's the best way to reach you?
And then, yeah, we'll call it quits.
Thanks for coming on.
Yeah, no worry.
I'm blessed enough to have created my business with Bitcoin
where I never took on Silicon Valley money and never went public.
And so I'm in the process of kind of just being a treasury
with no Wall Street agenda.
And so I no longer have any connection to anything.
I'm divesting from all my investments
and I'm just staying in the Bitcoin self-custody world.
So I'm taking as many things away as possible. So I'm literally in a place right now where all I care about is for as many people to earn Bitcoin in self-custody. So I have no actual agenda in that sense because I managed to avoid all that shit.
and so I regularly am on X
so follow me at Simon Dixon Twit
and I go up on spaces
and try to answer questions to people
I go live every single week
on my YouTube channel
type in Simon Dixon
every week I take all the events
this week in Bitcoin
all the events this week in macroeconomics
and all the events this week in geopolitics
and tie them together to follow the money
so that you can develop the skills and try and get further ahead.
And so you can subscribe to my channel on YouTube.
And then I syndicate that everywhere on simondixon.com
and Apple Podcasts, Bitcoin Hard Talk and Spotify
and anywhere that you want it.
And that's all I've got.
Excellent.
Well, I'll put it all in all the links in the show notes
so people can come and find you.
And I appreciate you going well over time here.
Really amazing.
and yeah I'll be in touch again soon okay appreciate you brother thank you bye-bye thank you
well there you go guys Simon Dixon spitting fire as always like I said at the top of this one go
and check out his work download his podcasts go and listen to his back catalog just go back five
episodes and listen to what he was talking about and was not even predicting is he doesn't need to
because he does so much background work
and follows the money as closely as he possibly can,
he literally calling out what going to happen He called out a couple of these events that have happened like so close It just unreal
So if you're not paying attention to his work, get over there and make sure you are.
And like he said here, right at the end, opting out of this system does mean that you're taking your energy out of the proof of weapons network.
getting away from it not supporting it not validating it not helping it not propping it up
in any way you're getting out you exchange all of that for hope and for you know like
money with that that's linked to real energy as he said right here right at the end and it's a
pertinent point and we were in Bury St Edmunds this weekend at the Bitcoin conference that the
guys through over there really great conference grassroots stuff and if you're looking for that
kind of thing which you should be there's another one coming up in the UK in Manchester 21st of the
23rd of November links in the show notes use the code BITTON for a 10% discount and across Europe
you have the the Balkans in Bulgaria Bitcoin Balkans is being held in October you can also
get a 10% discount for that conference just by hitting the link in the show notes there using
the code BITTON as well. This is the place for you to go. The opportunity cost of you not connecting
with other Bitcoiners in settings like this is huge. And I saw it. I saw those epiphanies dropping
this weekend. I met a bunch of new people I'd never met before, UK Bitcoiners, that were all
meeting UK Bitcoiners for the first time. There was a dude there that had been in Bitcoin for many
years, never met another Bitcoiner. And he comes and he sits there and he listens to the panels and
he starts having conversations. His mind is completely blown and he starts wanting to lean
in as hard as he can, start volunteering for different projects, start putting his knowledge
where it's needed most. Because the importance of this thing is so tangible once you get in front
of these people and listening to people like Simon is only going to build your conviction and
help you realize what we've been forced into being a part of and what we need to get out of.
I've got an interview coming up with Neil Flesher very soon. His book is very much flying under the
radar. You should be picking it up. It's called Modern Chains and he goes into this as well. How
we been enslaved by a monetary system on i mean but by design this is completely by design guys this isn an accident this isn a oh a conspiracy theory just a bunch of families got together in a secret meeting in 2010 and you know hashed out a plan Like that happened except that happened and everything else that happened
since is just a new level of fuckery that's been built on that foundation of theft. And
for want of a better word murder we've had nothing but wars since that date that it was put through
in 1913 sure there were many wars that come before but nothing like the 20th century like
and undeniably linked to the money undeniably so we've got to stop and the only way is opting out
and like I said just stop validating fear around and find out right these loaning products that are
coming out Simon's ringing the alarm bells as high as he can he's been there he he touched that stove
and he got burnt and he was kind enough and brave enough to tell us that story on this podcast
don't do it do not loan your bitcoin do not listen to the siren song of you don't need to
sell your Bitcoin to have the Lambo and the Citadel and you know the hundred acres of land
just loan it to us and we'll give you the fiat that is a siren song that's charlatanry steer
clear of it you will have to give up your Bitcoin a loyal title over your Bitcoin which you own in
hard storage is going to be given up to a third party and they've got to find some fiat to give
you in return you don't want that shit please heed Simon's warnings so anyway that's the end of that
rant i hope you enjoyed this one go check out simon's work uh like i said at the beginning of
the show show sponsors relay you can start stacking sats r-e-l-a-i dot ch forward slash bitten bitbox
for your cold storage bitbox.swiss forward slash bitten and get over to paywithflash.com to figure
out how you can start accepting bitcoin for your goods and services start forcing people to pay you
Bitcoin. This is the preferred money for you to start building your future. Stop giving up your
time and energy and being rewarded in debt discharging instruments. That's the show.
