  1. Are The Elite Trying To Destroy The World...On Purpose? | Simon Dixon & Simon Michaux

    Are The Elite Trying To Destroy The World...On Purpose? | Simon Dixon & Simon Michaux

    Title: Are The Elite Trying To Destroy The World...On Purpose? | Simon Dixon & Simon Michaux Published: 29 April 2026 Duration: ~ 1 hr 40 mins Hosted by: Danny (CapitalCosm) I recently sat down for a nearly two-hour deep dive on the CapitalCosm channel, hosted by Danny, alongside the industrial systems analyst Simon Michaux. In this extended session, we map out our competing—yet often converging—models of how the global power structure actually operates. Instead of getting lost in conspiracy theories about a secretive committee of 300, I break down my model of following the capital flows. We discuss the massive power struggle at the top between the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military-Industrial Complex (MIC), and the Technological Industrial Complex (TIC). I explain how transnational capital is engineering a global reset and utilizing geopolitical choke points—like the closure of the Strait of Hormuz—to drive us into a technocratic surveillance state and a multipolar world order. Meanwhile, Simon Michaux brings his expertise in raw materials and thermodynamics, detailing how the global system is structurally trying to correct itself through massive commodity blowouts. He shares his theory that we are being funneled into "Technofeudalism," where economic devastation and engineered energy shortages are used to force the public to accept a new programmable control grid. Key topics we cover in this episode: The Global Agenda: Why America is less of a country and more of a series of companies managed by transnational capital, and how the "K-shaped economy" transfers wealth from the working class to the shareholder class. The Geopolitical Chessboard: Breaking down the current events, including the breaking news of the UAE leaving OPEC, and how the FIC is building penetration centers in a multipolar world through the BRICS and GCC corridors. The Truth About Crypto: I share my deep insights from the earliest days of Bitcoin, why I believe it originated from intelligence circles as an "exit" for the elites, and how stablecoins and CBDCs (like FedNow and the Digital Euro) are the real programmable nightmare they intend to enforce. The Solution: We don't just admire the problem. Simon Michaux discusses building localized communities with alternative energy like Thorium MSR. I share my belief that there is no political solution—only a spiritual and financial one. We must boycott the system, allocate our capital locally, and use financial sovereignty to opt-out and fight back. It was a true pleasure battling out these ideas. If you want to understand the architecture of the system so you can beat it, you won't want to miss this one. DISCLAIMER Please note that I am not providing financial or legal advice to anyone. You must follow the laws in your own country, and you are always subject to the law no matter what you choose to do with your money. Nothing in this discussion condones illicit activity; if you are committing a crime, you are committing a crime. The views and models discussed in this video are purely for educational and informational purposes, aimed at explaining structurally how these systems are set up.

  2. UAE LEAVES OPEC, Is This The End Of Saudi Arabia and Opec Countries? | Market Update

    UAE LEAVES OPEC, Is This The End Of Saudi Arabia and Opec Countries? | Market Update

    Market Update Host: Sulaiman Ahmed Guest: Simon Dixon Date of interview: 28 April 2026 Hey hey Sovereign Wealth Builders,  Simon Dixon here. I recently joined Sulaiman Ahmed on his brand new YouTube channel, Moral Resistance, to break down some breaking news: the UAE has decided to leave OPEC. We dive deep into a pretty geeky topic, but the implications for our global monetary and financial architecture are significant. If you want to understand the reality behind the headlines and the shifting power dynamics of the oil world, this market update is for you. In this interview, we strip away the noise and look at the real geopolitical mechanics at play. I explain how the UAE has been actively building alternative financial rails—from joining BRICS and integrating into the Chinese payment system (SIPs), to their vital role in the gold corridors and the MBridge network of central bank digital currencies. We break down how these moves, combined with Federal Reserve FX swap lines, are systematically accelerating the change of the dollar system as we know it and laying the foundation for multipolarity. We also don't hold back on the ugly truth about OPEC. I explain exactly why OPEC is a price-fixing cartel that suppresses alternative energy innovation to prop up the profits of big oil and sovereign wealth funds. We explore whether the UAE's move is a coordinated game of good cop/bad cop with Saudi Arabia, or if it will genuinely help break the cartel, and bring the real price of energy down for consumers once the Strait of Hormuz reopens. Most importantly, I take off my analytical hat and put on my humanitarian hat to discuss the devastating K-shaped economy we are entering. I believe we are witnessing a highly coordinated, manufactured global crisis designed to accelerate massive wealth transfer upward, while building out a Palantir-driven, AI surveillance state. Sadly, it’s the poorest in our society who are being forced to pay the price and are reaching their ultimate breaking point. Grab a coffee and get ready for a deep dive. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below: Do you think this is the end of OPEC? Are we heading into a manufactured financial crisis and a surveillance state where you owe nothing? Make sure to like, share, and subscribe to Sulaiman's channel, Moral Resistance, for more breaking interviews.

    How The Banking System Turned YOU into a DEBT SLAVE | Simon Dixon on Simply Bitcoin (19 April 2026)

    Part 2 segment is taken from the live show (SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE) which was broadcasted on 24 April 2026. The FULL live show was titled: Iran War Week 8: The Currency War—How Gold, Oil & Swaps Are Rewriting Money Part 2 segment is titled: How The Banking System Turned YOU into a DEBT SLAVE | Simon Dixon on Simply Bitcoin (19 April 2026) In Part Two, we shift to my recent interview on Simply Bitcoin to expose exactly how the modern banking system is structurally designed to turn you into a collateralized debt obligation and a debt slave. We map out the mechanics of the FIC, revealing how governments are utilized as heavily lobbied "piggy banks" and "battering rams" to socialize losses across the public while privatizing massive gains for a transnational elite. As we navigate this managed transition toward a multipolar world order defined by more debt, severe K-shaped wealth extraction, and programmable surveillance, your financial sovereignty is under direct threat. We break down why holding Bitcoin in self-custody is not just an investment, but your ultimate non-freeze exit strategy—giving you the direct power to boycott this centralized control grid and secure your future as a sovereign wealth builder.

    The Currency War: Gold, Yuan, Oil & the Future of Dollar Dominance

    This is part 1 segment taken from the FULL LIVE SHOW (SimonDixonHardTalk. LIVE) which was broadcasted on 24 April 2026. Part 1 segment is titled: The Currency War: Gold, Yuan, Oil & the Future of Dollar Dominance In Part One, we dive into the mechanics of the Currency War, tracking how the petrodollar is fracturing as the U.S. dollar transitions from being forcefully imposed to being actively negotiated through global FX swap lines. While the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) engineers a managed energy shock and lays the groundwork for massive fiat debasement, we follow the real capital repositioning. Physical gold is draining from West to East, the Yuan is gaining critical settlement relevance in energy markets, and programmable finance has exposed its vulnerabilities as $13 billion exits freeze-prone DeFi protocols directly into the safety of Bitcoin. The real question is no longer who wins the war, but who controls the money that settles the outcome. Watch on YouTube.

    Iran War Week 8: The Currency War—How Gold, Oil & Swaps Are Rewriting Money

    In this full broadcast of SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE, we break down how the Iran conflict has moved from missiles and airspace to its final layer: payment rails, reserve assets, and the rewriting of money. In Part One, we dive into the mechanics of the Currency War, tracking how the petrodollar is fracturing as the U.S. dollar transitions from being forcefully imposed to being actively negotiated through global FX swap lines.

    Urgent: Iran 'War' Nearing Its FINAL Act (What Comes Next)

    Video Title: Urgent: Iran 'War' Nearing Its FINAL Act (What Comes Next) Show: BTC Sessions Host: Nathan Fitzsimmons Guest: Simon Dixon Date: 21 April 2026 Duration: 1 Hour 10 Mins The speed at which the Iran situation is changing has gone completely insane, and the media wants you to believe we are on the brink of World War III. But I'm here to tell you: it is pure theater. What looks like absolute chaos is actually a highly coordinated OPEC and Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) operation.  I recently sat down with Nathan Fitzsimmons for a 1-hour and 10-minute deep dive on BTC Sessions to pull back the curtain on the global wealth transfer and financial reset currently playing out right in front of our eyes. In this interview, we break down exactly how this 'war' is being used to asset-strip America and deliberately wipe out the middle class through engineered inflation and high energy prices. While the physical destruction and tragic loss of life are very real, the geopolitical outcome has already been negotiated by factions of transnational capital behind closed doors. In this episode, we unpack: The Big Oil & FIC Agenda: Why keeping oil prices high—but just below total demand destruction—is a deliberate tactic to wipe out the middle class and force a global reset. The Illusion of War: Why an actual ground invasion is impossible, and how the "blockades" and proxy escalations are just theatrical leverage for the transition from the Petrodollar to a multipolar energy market. The Real Profiteers: How BlackRock’s Aladdin AI controls 50% of the market via algorithmic manipulation, and why billions of dollars in rebuild contracts are already lined up for giants like Cheniere Energy, JP Morgan, and Chevron. The Domestic Surveillance State: How this engineered economic crisis is meant to provoke domestic unrest, giving the Technical Industrial Complex (via companies like Palantir) the exact excuse they need to strip away the US Constitution and label everyday citizens as domestic terrorists. The Ultimate Resistance: Why the political system is dead, why there is no government coming to save you, and why you are either an elite insider, or you need to be aggressively stacking sats. The system wants you poor, compliant, and begging for a bailout. Your best form of resistance is building parallel economies, accumulating wealth, and learning how to take your Bitcoin into self-custody.

    Bitcoin Is the Exit—Simon Dixon on Natalie Brunell

    Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Simon Dixon here. Welcome to Part 2 of our Iran War Week 7 coverage, extracted from the full Friday livestream broadcast on 17 April 2026, "Iran War Week 7: The Real War—Energy, Rare Earths & The China Deal". This segment is titled "Bitcoin Is the Exit—Simon Dixon & Natalie Brunell". If Part 1 explains the system… Part 2 explains how you survive it. In this video, I join Natalie Brunell to zoom out and go much deeper into what these global shifts mean beyond the immediate geopolitics. We are living through a massive restructuring of empires, and once you understand the rules of who is actually in charge, it becomes much easier to understand where we go next. In this interview, we break down: The Financial, Military & Technical Industrial Complex: Why your governments no longer represent the people and are instead fully captured and subordinate to real transnational power and lobbies. The Upcoming “Big Print”: How the fiat system is fundamentally built upon a Ponzi scheme that requires perpetual debt rollover, inevitably leading to a massive $7–10 trillion bailout print. The Multipolar World Transition: How tariffs, geopolitical shifts, and the strategic weakening of the dollar are accelerating the transition away from American hegemony toward a multipolar world order. Why Bitcoin Isn't a Fix—It's an Exit: Why the traditional system wants to co-opt Bitcoin into Wall Street wrappers, and why taking self-custody of your Bitcoin is your ultimate boycott against the Federal Reserve, the BIS, and BlackRock. I also get personal in this segment, sharing stories of my own biggest financial mistakes, including the Celsius collapse, to explain the profound spiritual energy of money. Every time I have made a decision that compromised my ethics, I lost wealth; every time I made the hard but moral decision, it drove me toward sovereign power. We are entering a world of Orwellian surveillance states, but you have a choice to build parallel systems and protect your family. Take self-custody. Build your sovereign power. And always follow the money. Peace.

  8. The Real War: Oil, Chips & Chokepoints

    The Real War: Oil, Chips & Chokepoints

    Hey Sovereign Wealth Builders, Simon Dixon here. Welcome to Part 1 of our Iran War Week 7 coverage, specifically extracted from the full Friday livestream. This segment is titled "The Real War: Oil, LNG, Chips & Chokepoints". If it isn't crystal clear to you by now, the mainstream narrative has completely broken down. This was never about saving the Iranian people or fighting for an ideological cause. The deaths and inflation were very real, but the war itself was managed theater—a heavily negotiated transition out of the military-industrial complex's Middle Easteem "forever war". In this highly analytical segment, I take off the humanitarian hat and break down the real global battlefield: US private energy, Russian and Iranian state energy, Gulf sovereign wealth, and China's rare earth manufacturing monopoly. When you stop watching the politicians and start following the money, you see that this is a complete restructuring of the global system. In this video, we break down: The $20 Billion Uranium Deal: Why the US maybe considering a massive deal for Iran's highly enriched uranium in exchange for releasing locked funds, effectively signaling that internal regime pragmatists have won. The Strait of Hormuz Reopens: The strategic bounded escalation that led to the official reopening of the Strait to commercial vessels under the ceasefire. The Chip & Chokepoint War: How global supply chains converging around semiconductor chips, AI, data centers, and Taiwan are the real leverage points forcing diplomatic solutions. The Birth of "West Asia": How the Middle East is officially transitioning into West Asia, aligning with BRICS, and positioning Saudi Arabia as the regional hegemon that will fund the rebuild. The $7–10 Trillion "Big Print": Why the debt-based Ponzi scheme requires a massive upcoming bailout for the Financial, Military, and Technical Industrial Complexes (FIC, MIC, TIC) to survive. This is a managed transition toward a multipolar world, setting the stage for the real deal with China that will likely be announced around May 14th. Your government has been captured by transnational capital, and the only way to survive the coming K-shaped asset-stripping is to understand the power dynamics at play. Take self-custody of your Bitcoin, hold physical gold, and build your sovereign power. Always follow the money. Peace.
