Iran War Week 5: The Lead Up To The Final Acts & Market Reset
Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Last week I said something very specific: The geopolitical theater in the Middle East and the drawdowns in Bitcoin were not random chaos. This week… we got confirmation. The media is screaming about a looming World War III and an organic crypto bear market. That isn’t a genuine war or a natural market correction. That’s a highly coordinated, managed transition to asset-strip the West, break the petrodollar, and funnel Bitcoin into Wall Street wrappers. And it reveals something most people are still missing: 👉 The unipolar US Empire is officially over, and the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) is executing a controlled demolition to usher in a technocratic, multipolar world. Today at 6pm BST on Simon Dixon Hard Talk Live, I break down the phase shift. I will be airing an exclusive two-part strategic sit-down interview I recorded in London, and explaining exactly why you must watch both halves to understand the full system transition. Part One: Iran War Week 5: The Controlled Reset — Markets Signal The Outcome | 3 April 2026 Before we roll the tapes, I will give you a fast macro update on what is happening right now. We are already seeing behavioral shifts and global stress. I will break down the looming jet fuel shortages and supply chain disruptions preparing to hit globally. We’ll also break down what the markets are telling us: Oil prices are being strictly bounded below $115 to prevent the total demand destruction of the US economy. Bond markets are under extreme stress, with the 10-year Treasury pushing 4.5% and the 30-year at 5%, bringing the mortgage market to its knees. Gold is not mooning in an exodus, signaling the smart money knows this "war" has a pre-negotiated deadline and will not escalate into a true global conflict. And why all of this points to one thing: 👉 A predetermined, controlled transition where the smart money is front-running a global reset. Part Two: Beyond the Petrodollar: Interview #2 on Bitcoin Archives Then, we will play the first interview: BlackRock's Attack on Bitcoin. The Shakeout: I believe Wall Street was intentionally suppressing the Bitcoin price using Jane Street’s paper ETF derivatives and media-driven Epstein FUD to force weak hands to capitulate. The Objective: Centralizing Bitcoin into corporate treasury companies dependent on Wall Street debt and bailouts. The Trap: The Technical Industrial Complex (Palantir, Musk, X) is building the rails for a 1984 Orwellian state, turning X into a data honeypot for a coming social credit score disguised as "free speech". Finally, we will air the second interview: The $150 Oil Crisis and the Macro Geopolitical Reset. Competing systems: The conflict in the Middle East is a theatrical mechanism to purge the legacy Military Industrial Complex (MIC) hardliners who profit from strategic tension. Hidden drivers: China is acting as the rule-maker, securing regional stability in "West Asia" to integrate the Gulf sovereign wealth funds with BRICS. Long-term consequences: A managed demolition of the Japan carry trade, the Eurodollar, and the Petrodollar all at once. 👉 The old world was ruled by bombs and military proxy wars; the new world will be ruled by sovereign wealth funds, AI data centers, and centralized digital ledgers. Peace! Simon Dixon
The Hidden Costs of the Information War & Market Update (30 March 2026)
bonusThis video is an excerpt from the beginning of an X Space I joined on March 30, 2026, titled "IRAN WAR DAY 30 : MIDDLE EAST ON FIRE". Before diving into the financial macro outlook, I must address the deadly information war we are fighting. Right now, being on the wrong side of information is literally a matter of life or death. The deliberate spread of propaganda and the covering up of the truth has already cost countless innocent lives in Gaza and Iran, and it is now being used to push a disastrous ground invasion that will only serve to sacrifice American troops. We have to stop falling for blame-shifting and correctly point the finger at the corporations, the Epstein class, the Israeli regime, and the administration profiteering from this. If you believe the mainstream narrative that America is isolated and everything is fine, you are severely underprepared for the reality ahead. There is an economic tsunami coming. With the Strait of Hormuz closed, we are facing the US Empire's "Suez Canal moment"—a catastrophic economic event combining the severity of the global financial crisis, the 1973 oil embargo, and the Russia-Ukraine war all into one. There is a financial hurricane coming, and your government isn't going to save you. You need to patch up your roof, get an umbrella, and put the scaffolding on right now. Watch the rest of this 43-minute replay to understand the geopolitical reality behind the scenes and learn how to position your finances for the massive wealth transfer ahead.

The Next Phase of the New World Order (Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions with Dave Collum)
bonus I join Dave Collum—who was recently featured on Tucker Carlson—for a deeper discussion on what is really driving the escalating Iran conflict and the broader tensions in the Middle East. Hosted by Nathan at BTC Sessions, we dive into the rapidly shifting geopolitical and financial landscape to see where Dave and I align, and where we differ. While Dave leans toward chaos theory and believes markets are inherently unpredictable, I personally believe there is much more structure and systemic design driving these global events. In this episode, we explore a more controversial idea: This is not just a war between nations like the US, Israel, and Iran. It is a negotiation between systems of power. We cover: The Financial Industrial Complex vs the Military Industrial Complex: How transnational capital is actively outmaneuvering the old, nationalistic US military-industrial complex Why the Strait of Hormuz was the “economic trigger” for global repricing: How its closure directly led to the renegotiation of 50 of the world's most critical energy, mineral, and food components How transnational capital is reshaping global energy, trade, and finance: The rotation of Gulf sovereign wealth funds away from US Treasuries and into gold, US equities, and AI infrastructure to protect themselves Why inflation is the mechanism for wealth transfer: How the current system extracts wealth, and why distress in places like Dubai is leading investors to rotate out of gold and into Bitcoin so they can securely self-custody their wealth How “Build Back Better” becomes the next phase of control: The transition phase we are entering as the legacy debt-based fiat system resets The shift toward surveillance systems, programmable money, and resource tracking: How the technical industrial complex is weaponizing AI, social credit scores, and programmable money to build a massive surveillance state. And ultimately: Why this may be the final transition from the post-WW2 order into a multipolar world. I hope you enjoy the interview.
Ep.X - Part 1: Iran War Week 4 – The Build Back Better Phase
Welcome back, sovereign wealth builders. This video is Part 1 of our main episode titled "🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱Iran War Week 4: Build Back Better | The Next Phase of the Global Reset," which originally went live on 27th March 2026. Please remember that I am sharing my own opinions and personal analysis on how I believe this situation is unfolding. 🎙️ Part One: Iran War Week 4 — The Build Back Better Phase In part one, I walk through the fourth week of the conflict and share my analysis on why I believe: The outcome appears to have been largely predetermined with disruption. The settlement terms seem to already be on the table. And the real beneficiaries might not be who you think. We’ll cover my thoughts on: The US 15-point proposal and Iran’s counter-conditions. Why I think sanctions relief has already been conceded. Why this looks like Iran integrating into the region, rather than folding. How I see the Middle East being restructured into what I call “West Asia”. Why it seems proxies are being absorbed into state structures, rather than eliminated. What I believe is the real reason LNG infrastructure was targeted. How US private sector energy firms, Russia, and Iran could all potentially benefit simultaneously. Why it appears old infrastructure is being strategically destroyed while post-war assets remain untouched. How the Iraq-China trade corridor was delayed before becoming operational. We’ll also break down what I think the markets are signaling to us: Oil seemingly being managed in the 105–115 range. How bond yields appear to be dictating political decisions and timelines. Inflation now forecast at 4.2% in the US. Why rate hikes look to be back on the table globally. The estimated $3.5 trillion wiped from equities since the war began. And why my analysis points to one primary conclusion: 👉 This appears to be a managed, controlled transition—not a chaotic forever war.
Iran War Week 4: Build Back Better | The Next Phase of the Global Reset (Ep. X)
Hey-Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Simon Dixon here. If you want to understand what is really happening in the world right now, you need to look past the headlines. What we are witnessing is not a traditional total war— I believe it is a theatrical, coordinated restructuring of the global order. The Military Industrial Complex and its "forever war" model are being dismantled. In its place, a "Financial Industrial Complex"—led by transnational capital and interests in China and the US—is orchestrating a massive Global Reset to force a transition into a multipolar world. The strategic closure of the Strait of Hormuz is the economic "nuclear bomb" triggering this shift, forcing the renegotiation of 50 of the world's most critical supply chains. The ensuing economic volatility is being weaponised to roll out the "Build Back Better" control grid, complete with digital IDs, carbon tracking, and programmable money. You cannot out-trade this transition, but you can achieve true sovereign power through hard assets like Bitcoin in self-custody and gold. The full live show aired on 27th March 2026, and it consists of 2 parts: Part 1: Iran War Week 4: The Build Back Better Phase Part 2: The Next Phase of the New World Order: My Interview by BTC Sessions & Dave Collum 👉 Watch or listen to the full episode now to understand the architecture of this Global Reset and learn how to protect your wealth.

The New World Order Has Already Begun (Simon Dixon on Peter McCormack)
bonusThe New World Order Has Already Begun | Peter McCormack interviews Simon Dixon. My second Interview by Peter McCormack In part two I’ll be airing my second interview with Peter McCormack, where we go deeper into the bigger architecture behind the war. This discussion is about more than Iran. It’s about how the current conflict fits into a broader transition of power from a Western-dominated order to a multipolar system run through transnational capital, surveillance infrastructure, and asset concentration. We cover: Why modern war looks more like scripted transition theater than traditional conflict The three factions shaping the current world: the Military Industrial Complex the Financial Industrial Complex the Technical Industrial Complex Why the real pandemic may be the psychological trauma of engineered instability How warfare, debt, and crisis are used to shift wealth away from nation-states and toward corporate and technocratic control We also discuss: Why the middle class is being hollowed out Why the real divide is now between those who own assets and those who are the asset through debt Why the shift from financialization to securitization to tokenization matters Why the long-term response may be personal sovereignty, real community, and self-custody of hard assets Watch on YouTube
Episode 141 - Iran War Week 3: The Financial Industrial Complex Settlement Phase
Part One (SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 20th March 2026): Iran War Week 3 — The Financial Industrial Complex Settlement Phase In part one I’ll walk through the third week of the conflict and explain why the visible war and the real war are operating on two different layers. We’ll cover: Why the key question is no longer “who is winning?” but whether anyone has a rational reason to continue the war Why oil returning to the $115 ceiling may be proving that every player has now hit the pain threshold Why markets are pricing containment and resolution, even while the headlines look more chaotic The leadership disruption inside Iran and Israel and why that may be clearing the path to a deal Why the Strait of Hormuz may still be controlled more by insurance markets than military force Why this is no longer just an oil story, but a repricing of LNG, fertilizer, aluminium, petrochemicals, helium, AI supply chains and food systems We’ll also break down the most important signal of the week: Iran’s strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan and Mesaieed QatarEnergy declaring force majeure European gas surging 52% And why the entity that “lost” supply may actually own the replacement supply through Golden Pass LNG in Texas We’ll also cover: Why Russia is still emerging as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the war How the conflict is splitting the energy map into US LNG for Europe / Russian oil for Asia / Iranian oil for China Why private credit, Treasury yields, and stagflation pressure are turning the war into a financial stress event Why the old Western-dominated order may be burning up in the Middle East so it can be renegotiated into a multipolar world And we’ll close with what comes next: resource control demand reduction behavior change energy-saving “lockdowns” tokenized consumption and the road to individual carbon tracking Watch on YouTube
Iran War Week 3: The Settlement Phase Begins — “You Will Own Nothing & Be Happy” (Ep. X)
Hey-Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Last week we covered Week Two of the Iran war and why I argued that the conflict was already moving toward an endgame. This week we move into Week Three. And now the pattern is becoming harder to ignore. The war looks worse on the surface. But structurally, every major player now appears to have more to gain from ending it than continuing it. That is why I believe the settlement phase has begun. Tonight on Simon Dixon Hard Talk I’ll break down Week Three of the Iran war and explain why this crisis may be transitioning from the military phase into the financial settlement phase. And why the next phase may bring us one step closer to the agenda: “You will own nothing and be happy.” Part One: Iran War Week 3 — The Financial Industrial Complex Settlement Phase In part one I’ll walk through the third week of the conflict and explain why the visible war and the real war are operating on two different layers.

“This War Is Not What You Think” — The World Will Completely Change in 21 Days (Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions) [Clip]
bonusThis War Is Not What You Think: The Battle Between the Military and Financial Industrial Complexes In this 26-minute excerpt from my recent sit-down with BTC Sessions, we dive deep into the real geopolitical and macroeconomic mechanics driving global conflicts today. If you think the current tensions involving Iran, Israel, and America are simply about religion or ideology, think again. We are actually witnessing a massive, hidden battle between the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC)—which profits from forever wars—and the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), which is now seeking regional stability to build a new multipolar world order. In this video, I break down: The Shift in Global Power: How transnational capital and Gulf Sovereign Wealth Funds are partnering with Western financial giants like BlackRock to buy up American equities and exert massive influence over the US private sector. China's Economic Leverage: Why the entire world—including the US military—has become completely dependent on China's manufacturing base and rare earth minerals . The "West Asia" Reset: How the Middle East is being restructured for regional stability, moving away from US debt dependency to co-investing in AI and infrastructure. The April China Summit: Why the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping is going to completely change the world order . The Technocratic End Game: How this global reset is paving the way for an AI-powered police and surveillance state, which I call the "proof of weapons network". The Ultimate Solution: I explain why your most important job over the next 10 years is to accumulate as much Bitcoin as possible . In a world moving toward central bank digital currencies and surveillance, Bitcoin's Proof of Work is the ultimate resistance and your only true self-custody escape hatch . 🚨 WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW 🚨 This was just a 26-minute glimpse into a massive 1 hour and 19-minute deep dive.

The Financial War Behind the Iran Conflict (Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions)
bonusBTC Sessions Interviews Simon Dixon In part two I’ll be airing my recent interview on BTC Sessions, where we go deeper into the forces shaping this conflict. The argument I make is controversial: This may not be a traditional war between nation states. It may be a struggle between three competing power structures shaping the next global system. We cover: • The Financial Industrial Complex vs the Military Industrial Complex • The “Proof of Weapons Network” behind the current monetary system • Why nation-states may be less powerful than transnational capital networks • How Gulf sovereign wealth funds, China, and Wall Street influence global power • Why stabilizing West Asia may unlock trillions in AI and infrastructure investment We also discuss: • China’s 1.2 billion barrel strategic oil reserve • Why a multipolar financial order may emerge from this conflict • Why Bitcoin may ultimately be the only neutral settlement layer outside the system This episode isn’t just about missiles and headlines. It’s about the architecture of power behind the war. Watch on YouTube
Episode 138 - Iran War Week 2: The Hormuz Oil Shock
In part one I’ll walk through the second week of the conflict and explain why markets may already be pricing the limits of escalation. We’ll cover: • Why oil spiked to $115 before collapsing to $89 in three days • Why the $110–$120 oil ceiling may be the pain threshold for all sides • The pipelines and bypass infrastructure quietly moving millions of barrels around Hormuz • Why the Strait may have been closed by insurance markets rather than missiles • The next escalation ladder: what happens if the Red Sea closes • Why the disruption impacts LNG, fertilizers, semiconductors, tourism and global supply chains • How the crisis could lock Europe into long-term LNG dependence on the United States • Why Russia may be the economic winner of Week Two We’ll also look at what the financial markets are signalling: • Stress emerging in private credit markets funding AI data centers • Treasury yields rising as the cost of US debt increases • Why financial institutions may be using the crisis to reset balance sheets And why the oil market may already be telling us: this war has an expiration date.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 🇷🇺 Iran War Week 2: The Global Reset Continues—And Russia Is Quietly Winning (Full LIVE Replay)
Last week we covered Week One of the Iran war and why I believe it may represent the beginning of a global reset. This week we move into Week Two. And something unexpected has happened. While the world is focused on Iran, Israel and the United States, one country appears to be quietly benefiting the most from the economic fallout. Russia. Oil markets, energy flows, financial stress in private credit markets, and rising Treasury yields are revealing something deeper about what is really happening behind the headlines. Tonight on Simon Dixon Hard Talk I’ll break down Week Two of the Iran war and why the conflict may already be transitioning toward an endgame. Part One: Iran War Week 2 — The Hormuz Oil Shock In part one I’ll walk through the second week of the conflict and explain why markets may already be pricing the limits of escalation.

Episode 137 - The Oil Crisis After the Closure of the Strait of Hormuz
Simon Dixon comes to explain what is happening with the unfolding financial crisis following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Removing approximately 20 million barrels of oil per day, this is the biggest oil supply shock of our lifetime—impacting the market 10 times more than the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. In this vital interview, Simon breaks down the geopolitical chess moves happening behind the scenes, explaining how the U.S. and Russia are emerging as the massive net beneficiaries of this crisis, while Europe, the UK, and Asia face severely depleted reserves and skyrocketing energy costs. Simon also unpacks how financial institutions are using the derivatives market to temporarily suppress oil prices and warns that if the strait remains closed for an extended period, the world could face a severe global recession and a financial crisis akin to 2008, leading to massive money printing. What You Should Do: The average consumer is facing soaring gas prices and a potential jump in consumer goods inflation. To prepare for the turbulent months ahead, Simon explains exactly what you should do: Remember that Cash is King: Ensure you have 3 to 6 months of cash flow saved for your normal needs. Don't Panic Buy: Oil prices will likely crash back down the moment the strait reopens. Avoid stocking up on expensive supplies at the absolute top of the market unless you are preparing for a worst-case disaster scenario. Build Local Communities: Focus on your local supply chains. Get to know your neighbors and local farmers, and look into bulk-buying as a community to keep costs down.

Episode 136 - Does Israel Really Control U.S. Foreign Policy? | Ryan Dawson vs Simon Dixon Debate
This is part 2 segment taken from the full live show: 🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 This Iran War Is The Global Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 6th March 2026 In part two, I’ll be airing my debate with Ryan Dawson. Ryan argues that this is not a managed transition at all — that Israel controls U.S. foreign policy and this is a real power war driven by Zionist ideology and military escalation. We debate: • Whether the war is about money, ideology, or both • The real role of Israel in shaping U.S. foreign policy • Whether this conflict strengthens or weakens the U.S. dollar system • China’s role in backing Iran • Why the outcome may lead to a weaker U.S., weaker Israel, and weaker Iran — but a stronger multipolar system This episode is about more than missiles and headlines.

Episode 135 - Iran War Week One: The Managed Transition To A Multipolar World
Episode Title: Iran War Week One: The Managed Transition To A Multipolar World | SimonDixonHardTalk Episode Description: Hey hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, welcome to another episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk! Today, we are navigating one of the most significant structural shifts in the history of the modern monetary system . To understand the gravity of the present moment, we must look past the mainstream media's "good vs. evil" cartoon narratives and follow the money to see the institutional architecture being redesigned beneath our feet . In this episode, Simon Dixon provides a deep dive into the first week of the Iran, Israel, and US conflict, arguing that this is not an accidental escalation or a failure of traditional diplomacy . Instead, it is a meticulously managed mechanism—a Global Reset—designed to transition the world from a US-led, debt-based hegemony into a Multipolar World . Simon exposes the massive transnational power struggle taking place behind the scenes between the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), which profiteers from forever wars, and the emerging Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), which seeks regional stability to implement a global AI and surveillance state . Tune in to discover how this "geopolitical theatre" utilizes bounded, pre-negotiated strikes to permanently reshape global capital, energy flows, and strategic alliances . Key Topics Covered in This Episode: Deconstructing the Propaganda: Why the narratives pushed by both Western media and the "anti-imperialist" resistance are designed for the "lowest denominator of stupidity" to obscure the reality of financial weapons of mass destruction . FIC vs. MIC: The epic factional power struggle between the Financial Industrial Complex (aligned with BlackRock, Vanguard, and GCC sovereign wealth funds) and the Military Industrial Complex (aligned with the Pentagon, deep state intelligence, and hardline proxies) . The "12-Day War Model" & Theatrical Conflict: How bounded escalation and symbolic strikes are being used as a controlled off-ramp to prevent an unmanaged World War III . The Strait of Hormuz Stress Test: How the FIC weaponized the insurance markets to effectively paralyze shipping routes, acting as a global commodity stress test that shocked the AI memory chip supply chain and European gas markets . Vassalization of Israel and Iran: Why both primary combatants are intentionally being weakened and heavily indebted to force internal regime changes that align with the new multipolar architecture . Actionable Insights for Capital Allocators: Why Sovereign Wealth Funds are dumping US Treasuries to strip assets via US equities and AI data centers, and how you should position your portfolio .

This Iran War is the Global Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE (Full Live Replay)
Episode Title: This Iran War is the Global Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE Host: Simon Dixon Featured Guest: Ryan Dawson Episode Summary Hey hey, Sovereign Wealth Builders! Are we standing at the precipice of World War III, or are we witnessing a highly calculated, managed transition to a multipolar world order? In this episode of SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE, Simon spends over three hours deconstructing the first week of the Iran-Israel-U.S. conflict. Looking past the mainstream media's cartoonish "good versus evil" propaganda, Simon follows the money to reveal the hidden mechanics of a global reset, where war is utilized as the ultimate mechanism to recalibrate the financial and political system. Later in the show, Simon goes head-to-head with researcher Ryan Dawson in a rigorous debate to answer the ultimate geopolitical question: Does Israel really control U.S. foreign policy, or is it merely a strategic tool for transnational capital? In This Episode: Part 1: The Managed Transition & The "Theatre Rule" The Two Factions of Power: Discover the structural battle between the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC)—which allegedly prioritizes regional stability and multipolar trade integration—and the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), which allegedly thrives on permanent instability and weapons procurement . The "Theatre Rule": Simon explains why this conflict is bounded by pre-negotiated parameters, where what is allegedly shot down is meant to be shot down . Analysis suggests this managed theatre is exposed by the U.S. simultaneously bombing targets while providing political risk insurance for Gulf shipping . Selection by Elimination: How the alleged removal of IRGC hardliners paves the way for a protected continuity candidate and an Iranian "soft landing" into the BRICS and GCC architecture . The Hormuz Experiment: Why the Strait of Hormuz was essentially closed by the financial infrastructure of insurance markets rather than missiles, serving as a massive global commodity stress test . Global Supply Chain Shocks: The ripple effects of the war, including Europe's forced dependency on expensive U.S. LNG following the disruption of Qatar's Ras Laffan facility, and the exposure of AI supply chain vulnerabilities in South Korea . Part 2: The Great Debate – Ideology vs. Transnational Capital (Simon Dixon vs. Ryan Dawson) Ryan Dawson’s Stance: Ryan argues that the war is a genuine, unmanaged conflict driven primarily by Zionist ideology and religious supremacy, completely dictating U.S. foreign policy . Simon Dixon’s Counter-Thesis: Simon contends that transnational capital uses ideology as a management tool . He argues that the U.S. dollar standard—a debt-based system requiring constant conflict to maintain liquidity—is undergoing its final rollover as global financial elites transition to a multipolar system . Mercantilism vs. Reverse-Mercantilism: A breakdown of how American fiat wealth extraction compares to the state-led reinvestment model utilized by China .

Episode 134 - The Real War Profiteers: Exposing the Business of Conflict and Global Control
Episode Summary: In this explosive episode drawn from a recent, highly-viral X Space recording, Simon Dixon pulls back the curtain on the uncomfortable truths driving global geopolitics, market volatility, and the U.S. dollar . Moving far beyond the manufactured "Left vs. Right" political distractions, Simon breaks down how the "theater of war" is not a result of tragic policy failures, but a highly profitable business model managed by a psychopathic elite and the military-industrial complex . From the internal regime changes masking corruption to the weaponization of global religions and the dark shadow economy that truly backs the dollar, this episode exposes how the system is designed to extract wealth from the average person . If you want to understand why the stock market hits all-time highs while everyday citizens struggle with a crushing cost of living, you cannot afford to miss this breakdown. The system is being exposed, and once you know the rules, you can learn how to play the game and protect your sovereignty . In This Episode, We Cover: The Illusion of Democracy & Internal Regime Change: How leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu engineer internal regime changes—such as stripping the judiciary of its independence—to save themselves from corruption charges, using foreign conflict as a distraction . The Triple-Weaponization of Religion: How the system manipulates Evangelical Christians, Zionists, and even creates fake radicalized Islamist proxy groups (with hundreds of millions in taxpayer funding funnelled through agencies like USAID) to recruit fighters and justify endless military spending . The "Build Back Better" Profit Cycle: Why the global elite are disaster capitalists who profit from both sides of a conflict . Simon explains how the "Big Three" (BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard) profit from the war phase via defense contractors, and then pivot to the "Border of Peace" to secure lucrative rebuilding, data center, and surveillance contracts . What REALLY Backs the U.S. Dollar: The disturbing truth that the dollar is propped up by a shadow economy of global crime—including drug and human trafficking—managed by intelligence agencies like the CIA, MI6, and Mossad, as hinted at by the Epstein files . The Brutal K-Shaped Economy: How foreign wars act as a massive stock market stimulus that enriches the top 10% of institutions . Meanwhile, ordinary citizens face rampant inflation, collapsed family values, and a hollowing out of the middle class, leaving grandmothers choosing between heating and eating . The Technocratic Endgame: How manufactured chaos is being used to usher in Palantir-driven surveillance, social credit scores, and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) . Memorable Quotes from Simon Dixon: "The theater of war is purely manufactured. None of these people needed to die. None of it needs to happen." "You were radicalized into believing that you were exporting democracy, saving the world... when you were just fooled and duped." "We know all those politicians and left and right bullshit is just a game in order to pit people against people... The system is run by the mafia." "The system's being exposed. And once you know the rules, you can learn how to play within the rules because they don't want you to understand the rules." Companies & Concepts Mentioned: The Big Three Asset Managers: BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard The Military-Industrial Complex: Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, Boeing, General Dynamics, Raytheon Surveillance & Tech: Palantir, Elon Musk (Data Centers) Geopolitical Concepts: De-dollarization, BRICS, The Greater Israel Project, The Border of Peace Watch on YouTube Read the blog

Bitcoin Under Siege: Price Suppression & Developer Infiltration | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE (FULL REPLAY)
Hey-Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Tonight we’re going LIVE with a Hard Talk that pulls together price suppression, derivatives manipulation, ETF plumbing, and developer infiltration — all in one story. This is not clickbait. This is architecture. Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million. But its price is discovered in derivatives, ETFs, perpetual swaps, and prime broker lending. And when you understand how that architecture works… you start to see what’s really happening. Part One: Jane Street’s Silent War on Bitcoin’s Price We break down: The Terra/Luna collapse and the federal lawsuit alleging insider front-running The 10:00 AM “slam” pattern wiping out leveraged longs The October 10th $19B liquidation event SEBI’s enforcement action in India Jane Street’s dominance in SLV and IBIT The role of Authorized Participants: We’ll explore the Synthetic Float Ratio — how derivatives create synthetic supply on top of real Bitcoin.

Episode 131 - Why Bitcoin Treasury Companies Are an Attack on Bitcoin | Simon Dixon Confronts Mark Moss
I recently sat down with Mark Moss, and we had to hash out a major disagreement. Mark is an advocate for, and active investor in, Bitcoin treasury companies. But I had to tell him straight: I believe the rise of Bitcoin Treasury companies is actually a calculated Wall Street attack vector on Bitcoin. For 25 years, I’ve tried to unpack how the financial system controls corporations, countries, and individuals. What the media is currently celebrating as "mainstream Bitcoin adoption" is actually a trap set by the Financial Industrial Complex. Mega-banks like JPMorgan and asset managers like BlackRock are using ETFs and corporate treasuries to centralize as much Bitcoin as possible. In this interview, I break down exactly how this works. By taking on massive fiat liabilities—sometimes hundreds of millions in debt against a fraction of that in actual assets—these Bitcoin treasury companies are forced to continually go back to Wall Street to raise more finance. This makes them entirely subordinate to the traditional debt and equity capital markets. It is Operation Chokepoint 2.0: Wall Street is setting up a system of fractional reserve "paper Bitcoin," massive derivatives markets, and short-term price manipulation designed to trigger margin calls and shake retail investors out of their self-custody. Mark defends his position and his investments in the ecosystem, and by the end of our conversation, the tension is obvious. We don't see things the same way, and we are already planning a future debate to dive specifically into this divide. My message to you is simple: you have to understand the rules of this rigged game so you can boycott it. Do not fall for the psyop. The way you win is by maintaining a two-tiered system. Refuse to use their centralized debt products, hold your Bitcoin in self-custody, and run your own node so that we can resist the influence of Wall Street. Bitcoin gave me freedom. Because of it, my company didn't need Silicon Valley money, and I didn't need to go public. Now, I spend my time helping you follow the money and see through the lies of the politicians and the media.

Episode 130 - Sovereignty in a World of Manufactured War | Ex-IDF Efrat Fenigson interviews Simon Dixon
This is Part 2 of 2 segment taken from the FULL LIVE SHOW: SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | Sovereignty in a World of Manufactured War | Ex-IDF Efrat Fenigson interviews Simon Dixon Some of you may be surprised by this. I was interviewed by Efrat Fenigson — born in Israel, a former IDF member, now an independent voice who left Israel and hosts the Bitcoin podcast You’re The Voice. We don’t agree with everything. But we agree on this: Difficult conversations must happen across lines. We both question the official narratives surrounding October 7 and examine how incentives, intelligence failures, and geopolitical interests intersect. Not from a tribal lens — but from a “follow the money” lens. If we want truth, we must be willing to speak with people outside our ideological comfort zones. That’s sovereignty.

The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE
Episode Title: The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 20th February 2026 This is the FULL LIVE SHOW recording. Date of recording - 20th February 2026. Watch on YouTube Episode Overview: Welcome to a special, two-part episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk LIVE. This week, Simon breaks down the historic shift happening in the global financial system: the end of the Bretton Woods era and the U.S. dollar's transition away from being the undisputed global hegemon . In Part 1, Simon maps out the "Dollar's Final Three Acts," detailing Wall Street's accumulation of Bitcoin, the hidden distress in the repo markets, and the geopolitical realignment in the Middle East . In Part 2, Simon shares a profound, wide-ranging interview with Efrat Fenigson, an Israeli podcaster and ex-IDF soldier . Together, they explore the "market making of war," the three complexes that rule the world, and what it truly means to stay sovereign in an era of manufactured conflict . In This Episode: Part 1: The Dollar’s Final Three Acts Act 1: The Programmable Dollar & Bitcoin Accumulation. How the financial-industrial complex is suppressing Bitcoin's price to accumulate it, while simultaneously building an Orwellian surveillance state through the Clarity Act, the Genius Act, and programmable stablecoins . Act 2: The Debt Rollover Strategy (Stealth QE). A breakdown of the severe distress in the U.S. repo market. Simon uses an analysis from Infranomics to explain how a $216 billion Treasury auction drained system liquidity, forcing the Fed to digitally print $8 billion to bail out highly leveraged hedge funds engaged in the "basis trade" . Act 3: Propping Up the Dollar & The "Border Peace". Simon analyzes the geopolitical shift in the Middle East. He reacts to the viral "Gaza Rebirth" framework presented by Jared Kushner, explaining how the military-industrial complex profits from destruction, the financial-industrial complex profits from the rebuild, and the technical-industrial complex profits from the resulting surveillance state . Part 2: Sovereignty in a World of Manufactured War (Interview with Efrat Fenigson) Simon's Origin Story: How the dot-com crash wiped out his father's savings, sparking his 26-year mission to uncover how the rigged financial system actually works . The Illusion of the Public Markets: Why Simon left traditional finance, his realization that regulators block full-reserve banking, and his early days investing in over 100 Bitcoin companies . The Three Complexes: A deep dive into the Financial-Industrial, Military-Industrial, and Technological-Industrial complexes, and how transnational capital uses debt and war to control the masses . Israel, October 7th & Geopolitics: Efrat and Simon discuss the painful realities of how world leaders act as middle-management for power, how wars are manufactured for profit, and their shared perspectives on the events of October 7th . The Ultimate Exit: Why true freedom cannot be achieved politically, and how absolute self-custody of Bitcoin is the only way to genuinely opt out and boycott the system. About the Guest: Efrat Fenigson is an Israeli podcaster, tech and marketing professional, and a former IDF soldier. She is the host of the "You're the Voice" podcast. Drawing from her lived experience, she frequently speaks out about the "market-making of war" and geopolitical propaganda.

Hey-Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Tonight we’re going LIVE with a Simon Dixon Hard Talk that connects the dots between the Blocksize War, the Epstein-era infiltration narratives, and the current Knots vs Core governance battle — through a macro, geopolitical, and Proof-of-Weapons-Network lens. My answer is simple: there have been multiple hijack attempts — and they continue today. But Bitcoin’s structure (developers, miners, nodes) makes it uniquely resilient. We’ll cover this in three parts: Part 1: Was Bitcoin Hijacked? The Infiltration Operations Explained I lay the foundation and map the four major infiltration vectors I see at play: ✅ Intelligence / Epstein (early reconnaissance + attempted influence) ✅ Silicon Valley (corporate capture, custodians, narrative steering) ✅ Wall Street (ETFs, derivatives, public-company treasuries, custody centralization) ✅ Central Banks / Regulators (Operation Chokepoint 2.0, stablecoins, CBDCs) Part 2: Hijacking Bitcoin?

The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE (FULL REPLAY)
This is the full replay of SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 6th February 2026: The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE In this episode of Simon Dixon Hard Talk, we connect the dots between the release of the Epstein files, the origins of Bitcoin, and the massive geopolitical shift toward a multipolar world. This isn't just about the headlines—it’s a deep "follow the money" analysis of how the financial industrial complex utilizes compromised networks to maintain power. Simon deconstructs the files to reveal how they confirm long-held theories about the global financial reset, the push for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), and the attempts to capture Bitcoin. 🔥 KEY TOPICS COVERED IN THIS 3-HOUR RE-PLAY OF SIMON DIXON HARD TALK LIVE: The "Global Financial Reset" Explained: How the Epstein revelations are being used to strategically weaken the dollar and transition the world into a new multipolar order. Bitcoin & The Epstein Connections: A forensic look at allegations involving early Bitcoin developers, privacy coins, Blockstream, and figures like Brock Pierce and Adam Back. Did the "Financial Industrial Complex" try to co-opt Bitcoin from the start? The CIA & Satoshi Nakamoto: Simon shares his theory on the intelligence origins of Bitcoin, Len Sassaman, and how the open-source network has survived multiple state-level attack vectors. Geopolitics & The Middle East: An unfiltered look at the tensions between Israel, Iran, and the US, and how these conflicts relate to the crumbling of the petrodollar system. Macroeconomics & Gold: Why central banks are loading up on gold, the strange activity in the silver markets, and what the potential nomination of Kevin Warsh to the Fed means for your money. 📺 EPISODE BREAKDOWN: Part 1: The Monologue: Simon breaks down the "wild week" of news, the reality of the "Proof of Weapons" network, and why institutions want you to leverage your Bitcoin so they can steal it. Part 2: Interview with Sulman Ahmed (Bitcoin Focus): A deep dive into the specific names in the files, the history of the Bitcoin Foundation, the "Civil War" of 2017, and the resilience of self-custody. Part 3: Interview with Danny from Capital Cosm (Macro Focus): Analyzing the timing of the file release, the "Checkmate" for the Fed, and the shift to gold as a reserve asset. Part 4: Conclusion: Final thoughts on navigating a high-surveillance, low-trust world and the importance of spiritual and financial sovereignty. 🚀 TAKEAWAY FOR BITCOINERS: Despite the attempts to infiltrate and centralize the network (ETFs, treasury companies, stablecoins), Simon explains why Bitcoin remains the only anti-fragile exit from the system—provided you hold your own keys.

Episode 125 - Financial Reset, Power Shifts & the New Global Order | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE | 6th February 2026 (Part 2 of 2)
Look, I have spent 25 years in finance doing one thing: I just follow the money. And right now, the money is telling us that the release of the Epstein files is not just a scandal—it is a strategic financial weapon of mass destruction designed to dismantle the trust in the US dollar and push us violently into a multipolar world. This video is a segment taken from the FULL LIVE SHOW of Simon Dixon HardTalk which went live on 6th February 2026. The title of that full broadcast was "The Epstein Files Marked the Global Financial Reset (FULL REPLAY)". In this specific segment, I am sharing a pre-recorded interview that took place on 4th February 2026 with Danny from Capital Cosm. Danny released this conversation on his own channel under the title "The PSYOP To Take Your Wealth (Don't Fall For It) | Simon Dixon". In this deep dive, we strip away the cartoon narratives and look at how transnational capital is actually operating. We discuss: The Epstein Files as Geopolitics: Why this release confirms that the "conspiracy theories" regarding how the world is run—through compromised networks and blackmail—are actually how the system functions. The End of the Dollar Hegemony: How the financial industrial complex is effectively weakening the fabric of the American Empire to prepare for a new global order. The Return of Gold: Why central banks are adding massive reserves and why we are seeing the start of gold returning as a reserve asset. The Attack on Bitcoin: I break down the history of attempted infiltration into Bitcoin, including Jeffrey Epstein's connections to early crypto circles, Blockstream, and the push for centralization. Geopolitical Theater: The "Border Peace," the vassalization of Iran to China, and the restructuring of the Middle East. We are entering a world where trust has been broken and trust doesn't scale. The only way to survive this transition is to understand the difference between the "news" and the reality of money flows. If you want to understand the darker reality of how the world works so you can make better decisions for your family and your wealth, you need to watch this. Peace.
