They're both a huge, huge help. Thank you. The surveillance state, which you were just talking about as we were rolling here on air. Epstein, obviously, that's like mass rape. And then you look at genocide, things that are happening in the Middle East. And on top of that, you know, you got more endless wars that we've already seen the repercussions over the last 25 years and seem to not learn lessons. So it's like a strange time where bad shit is happening, but maybe we can find. I don't know, maybe we can find a way to kind of finally coalesce like as a shared humanity in a way we haven't in the last 10 years. I'm not really sure what you think, Simon, but that's where my head's at. Yeah, I think it's. I think there's the convergence of lots of different things that we're experiencing right now. I think if I could really put it down to one thing is we're definitely having that Moskov moment where. Moskov moment. Yeah, where things that were previously meant to be hidden and in the shadow, there seems to be a switch. I say even just looking at it on the technical side, like previously there was like, you know, whoever controls the narrative, whoever can rewrite history can hide the things that we're experiencing today. And then we all get propagandized into some version of history at school, you know, and it is definitely rewritten from the perspective of whoever won the war. Then we move to like this ultra internet social media, where we're all able to talk. And I think that moved at one stage into a bit of a cancel culture. So if you didn't say the right thing, the algorithm didn't support you, or you just literally got taken out. That's right. So, you know, we became the media. But I think round about COVID, there was a very decisive switch in strategy. And there were a series of things that happened. We had everybody, you know, spending all that time online and just switching. And then we had that really like, you know, like the final stages of, if you talked about the wrong subjects, if you said the wrong thing, you weren't with the agenda and you had to be taken out and canceled. That's right. But there was at some point, this AI became something that we were all a part of. And we had the releases of all the chat GBTs and the models and everything. But leading up to that, there was, you know, kind of. The acquisition of Twitter became X, Elon Musk. There was that switch from, I think the phrase that sums it up is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Oh, I remember that. Yeah. It's been a while since someone brought that up. Yeah. Now that one. Hey, guys, three quick things. Number one, if you haven't subscribed, please subscribe to huge, huge help.

I think is reflective of the model we're in today. That's where they said, right. We're no longer going to cancel you. You say whatever you want. And you're going to algorithmically be put in a box. And that box is, you know, you're pro-Palestinian, you're anti-Zionist, you're pro-Israel, you're whatever the box is, you know. You think the whole problem is you blame all the Jews or you think it's all about the Muslims. And, you know, so people are being put in their boxes and they want you to speak. That's right. And the more you speak, the more you're building your what will eventually be a social credit score. But you're building the more you speak. They wanted you to speak so that then they could algorithmically radicalize you into the most extreme version of your ideology. And I think it was a very deliberate switch. I think it was a very deliberate switch. go with the acceptable narrative, and if you do, then you get reach. But if you don't get the acceptable narrative, you don't get reach. But at the same time, we keep you talking with little reach and then we're feeding you more and more videos that kind of back up your belief around how you think the world works or what you think the problem is and we're getting it more and more extreme so you're getting more and more angry you're getting more and more pissed off you're getting you're blaming more and more people and you can see like this starting to really have an effect on the way we communicate with each other we seem to have hit a place where like relationships are impossible women hate men men hate women we're getting all of this like you know you're just becoming this you can see the algorithm is driving you into into this and you've got to really work hard to get get around it but um but you know when you're in the content industry you can see so even if if you're posting something on x and sometimes what you say is popular not popular but if you're like focused on say it in the right way you get boosted and this is training you to be rewarded for saying what they want you to say. And if you're in for the monetization, then you have to say the right thing and you have to keep saying the right thing. And then eventually you become an asset, but it's very covert. It's not like, you know, you may not even know who you're working for, what agenda you're serving here, but they want you to talk. And so now we can talk about the Epstein files. We can talk about a genocide in Gaza. We can talk about all these things because it has a purpose under this new, under this new model. And as we move closer and closer to this technocratic surveillance state, you know, the more data you provide them, the better. And we're all kind of being mixed up in this, this craziness. Hell yeah. That's well said man. When did you start thinking about these things? Oh man. So I'll tell you where it all started for me um so i uh my father lost all his money in the dot-com boom and bust and um i was 19 years old at the time and uh my father went from like you know he was the seventh son of seventh son um and uh he lived through the great depression and world war ii um went from uh he went down a pretty dark path in life and uh he was in complete poverty left to go to london ended up here a flatmate with jimi hendrix uh driving for the craze twins uh and made it in the casino world whoa yeah and so my father was doing that and like in the city of london um and uh when when i was born he kind of uh gave up on all that um and started trying to legitimize his money um wow so he viewed because it sounds like obviously he was doing things that were illegal but they're like you know darker businesses if you will so he viewed something switched when he had you to where he's like i actually care about how i'm making money now yeah so he went through a moment where um yeah when i was born and my siblings were born like uh you know that he wanted to go legit um and he did it through real estate and like he became you know a self-made millionaire um but then he went through a series of i don't know personal tragic events uh my mother left him you know he got the divorce uh then he had someone like talk about his undeclared money um and he had to pay a massive tax bill that wiped him out and then the gambler in him kind of came back and he put it all in the stock market and so he took what he had left and then he lost it all in the dot-com boomer bus so he went through that whole cycle and got straight back to where he started with nothing um and uh how old was he when that happened uh he was deep in so i think he's about 67 like deep into retirement lost everything like just went through one thing after the other you know up down um and uh yeah he asked me you know he didn't know he couldn't quite understand what happened to his money and this is 2000 26 years ago damn things go wild and so i that kind of shaped who i became and i spent all my time focusing on uh trying to answer my father's question what happened to his money what did happen to his money what happened to his money is um he was i i like to say he was playing a game where he didn't know the rules and i think most people are playing the game and money um took me 25 years to figure that out by the way what the rules are um but uh yeah that kind of took me to um it was it's quite funny actually my first job was the same firm that he lost all his money in the stock broker he was he lost his money in what company is a company called td waterhouse i think you got i saw td bank yeah yeah yeah i know td waterhouse yeah yeah so it's a canadian broker and um where i was in in manchester um so it's like i went to uni and then i went to manchester and i knocked on the door and got a job as a t-boy in td waterhouse as a t-boy yeah a t-boy so is that like a like a coffee boy here Yeah. Okay, coffee. Not like an Afghanistan tea boy. What's an Afghanistan tea boy? You don't want to know. Okay. Okay. Nothing bad. You were just in there basically paying your dues. Yeah, you start at the bottom. My job was to make the coffee and the tea for the brokers and managed to get myself a job as a stockbroker eventually, worked my way up. Then got a job in the city of London in the market-making desk on the London Stock Exchange, and then started working in investment banking and learned all these different things and helps you understand how the world works, how war works. How does the world work? Well, I always talk about this thing called a financial industrial complex, and so we're all familiar with the military industrial complex. Yep. I think that there are three complexes, and these complexes, the players that are the most influential in them change over time, but the complexes always remain. It's gone through empire after empire, but. One of, if not the most common DMs I get on Instagram are many of you asking me what my favorite books are.

As always, please take one second to hit that subscribe button if you haven't already. I really appreciate that. Also, the like button's a big help, and you can join my newsletter via the link in the description below. Basically, a financial industrial complex is a series of institutions. You know, today, if you look at the most influential players, you've got the asset managers, BlackRock, State Street, Vanguard. They're managing most of the world's money, trillions of dollars. You've got private banks that create money every time. So, whenever you're in a crisis, you've got private banks that create money every time. So, whenever you go and take out a loan, they don't have that money. They create money. Money is debt. Money is credit. And so, the closer you are to that money printer, the more you have an advantage in the game. And so, the banks, ultimately, they create money. Then you have the investment banks. They take all these businesses. And when I was working in investment banking, my job was to take companies public, turn them into tradable shares. So, you went, wow, you went from the stockbroking side to that. I mean, those are two very different things. Yeah. So, the stockbroking side, and I learned a bit about money in each of them. So, when I was in stockbroking, I realized my job was just to sell shares. You know, it's a glorified name. But, you know, it wasn't until I worked as a market maker, which is on the trading desk. They're the people that set the prices of shares. And what you do is, you, so I was on a small, like, it's all illiquid stocks, like smaller stocks. And you have a massive influence over the share price. This is kind of when I learned how the market works. So, my father, the average person that has a TD Waterhouse account, they're on one side of the trade. On the other side of the trade, you've got the Goldman Sachs, the institutions, you know, the people on the know. They're always on the other side of the trade. That's right. And so, you always use media. You're a narrative in order to push shares from one side to the other. And they're always on the opposite side. So, you know, market makers, they had, like, it was, my job was to manipulate the price of shares. And it wasn't until I worked in, like, the corporate finance side, the investment banking side, where we're taking companies public, you realize that, you know, it's an information game. It's being on the right side of information. So, the banking game is how close you are to the money printer. The investment banking game is really interesting. This is when I first became aware of how the world actually works in terms of military wars and stuff like that. I'll never forget it. When's the last time you actually woke up feeling sharp? Not just functional, actually sharp. Like your brain was ready before your coffee was. If you have to think about it, keep listening.

Um, and the deck was making the case for, effectively, how peace might be 100 times more profitable than war. And there was a model that was put together. And so, you could really see the, you know, if you've read books like Confessions of an Economic Hitman. Yeah. Like, I really saw the other side of that model. You have these consulting firms that are connected to these higher levels of intelligence and military networks. You know, you have resources, you have oil and gas companies. Um, and you have wars that are effectively working for that interest. Um, and in order to, like, end a forever war model, or to, you have to have a certain level of subordination of the companies and the certain amount of shares that we've acquired, a certain number of companies that we take in public. Um, and then once you get to a certain point, you can make. you can make the case that if peace is 100 times more profitable than war, then you can end the war. Um, but if the forever war is more profitable than peace, then you continue the forever war. Um, and so, you can see these models, like, down on the micro level. And you kind of realize that war is a racket, you know, to get there. Yeah, yeah. Um, but I saw it first-hand. So, I saw, like, you know, the manipulation of share price. Um, I saw the way these consulting firms, you know, consulting firms and models are put together. And you kind of try to unpack all of that. But when you're on the inside, when you're in the bank, um, it's very hard to unpack it, because you're just a cog in a wheel, you know, working 100 hours a week, playing a game. In an office, under fluorescent lights, you go home, you go to your apartment, you don't see these places where the reports are emanating from either. There's something about that, you know? Yeah, there's all covert levels of, you know, it looks very normal. Um, and, uh, you're just doing what you need to do. And then you realize that there's a whole another layer, um, of the compromise game. Of the compromise game. The compromise game, yeah. Um, okay. So you, you know, I remember when I was first as a market maker, you initially, you know, your job's to build relationships with all the key brokers, and all the key traders, and all the key people. And, uh, if you fit in with the culture, uh, then, you know, things, things happen. You progress. That's right. If you don't fit in with the culture, you know, this is where I, I really understood that there's a bit of, um, rather than a full-blown conspiracy, there's a level of people that comply with how power works. They're selected and you don't progress unless you comply further. And so you're, you're kind of tested. You know, suddenly you go to a party and then you go to a party and you're presented with prostitutes and you either take the bite or you don't take the bite. Did you take the bite? I don't take the bite. I would say that, but I don't take the bite. You can tell me off camera. Um, but you're, you're, you're presented with these like gradual ladder of things that they can have on you. Um, and you can see, you know, the, the progression on how this works. And I imagine, cause I never got to the high. Highest levels of power. I left in about 2006. Um, what made you leave that stuff? Um, so firstly I was trying to get the answer to what happened to my father's money. And I could see that what happened to my father's money. I was going more and more into this corporate world. His corporate world wasn't for me. You know, my dad brought me up as a businessman. He made his money. He was into these, uh, these different things. Um, and, and, and suddenly you find yourself in this corporate world, trying to crime, climb a corporate ladder. But for me, I was, I read a book, it was called, Michael Raubalfen wrote it. It was called The Grip of Death. The Grip of Death. The Grip of Death. And it explains how the IMF works and how banks work. And it kind of put together where, for the first time, I was able to connect what I was doing as my job. This holiday, all plans, even unlimited, are just $15 a month. A holiday deal this good obviously deserves an enormously expensive holiday song, like All I Want. Right. Okay, we can't afford that. You know what? Forget the music budget. We're going to stick with whatever's in the public domain. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch.

From designing a website to marketing to selling and beyond, Shopify can help with everything you need. There's a reason millions of companies like Mattel, Heinz, and Allbirds continue to trust and use them. Versus the big picture of how this thing works. And yeah, decided to leave in 2006. So that book is like a. Sender box for you. Like that was the moment where you're like, oh, wait a minute. Yeah. Interestingly, after the book was published, the author just disappeared and no one's ever heard of him ever since. What was the author's name again? Michael Raubaufen. Michael Raubaufen. Yeah. And it was called The Grip of Death. The Grip of Death. Yeah. Deep's going to be back in here in a minute. Yeah. But Michael Raubaufen disappeared. Yeah. No one's seen him. Like he's been very quiet. Now he wrote about the IMF and I actually, if you don't mind, like that's a. That's a pretty important little tangent right there. That is like the organization that gets ignored, at least in my opinion, all the time when people are having these conversations. Righteously so. We talk about things like the Fed. We talk about central bank, digital currencies and stuff like that. But the International Monetary Fund, what is it? The International Monetary. International Monetary Funds. Funds, yeah. It was signed up after World War II. Yeah. So can you explain the history of this? Yeah, yeah. And I've got a deep history with the IMF as well. Oh, personally? Personally, yeah. Okay. A couple of occasions. So we'll get into that. But the International Monetary Fund was effectively the cornerstone of the US empire. So if you think about it, you had the Federal Reserve that was set up in 1913. You had the introduction of income tax in 1913. And then they set up with the Federal Reserve System, the Bank of England model of how to create money. How to create the dollar. We enter into World War I, we have a Great Depression. We enter into World War II, and the American military base dominates the world. Europe's destroying each other. The Russian Tsar is overthrown. Communism is installed with the Soviet Union. Germany becomes East and West Germany and has fallen. We have the creation of Israel. You know, all of that all happened during that World War I. Great Depression. World War II. All gold is confiscated from the Americans in 1933. You have to reprice it in. Yeah. So all of that happens. And then at the end of it, you kind of just have the Soviet Union. You have Europe that's just an absolute mess. You have China that's trying to recover from opium wars and all sorts of shit. But you have America that didn't get bombed and the entire manufacturing base. So the military industrial complex, and so what comes from that is John Maynard Keynes who was representing British banking interest and Hoover that was representing American interest. John Maynard Keynes wanted a global currency called the Bancor. The Bancor. Yeah. And this is 1944 Bretton Woods meeting. So John Maynard Keynes was an economist from England. And was trying to push for a global currency at that stage. You goddamn Brits man, what are you doing? Yeah, exactly. What are you doing? Every problem, man. And I'd argue that the American banking system is still a remnants of the Bank of England. We can get to that. You got a good argument there. Yeah. Yeah. But Keynes is arguing at Bretton Woods for a global currency. Yep. And America has all the power and all the leverage at this stage. And so they get it where they say to the world, right, we're going to create this new organization called the World Bank. And Europe, if you want some loans from the World Bank, then you need to make your currency convertible into dollars and remove its convertibility into gold. Now, why did they say that? Well, firstly, they wanted America to be the only currency convertible into gold. And then they wanted every other currency convertible into dollars. Right. So they become the middleman. So remember this, so a chunk of the German gold ended up in, you know, in France. In Fort Knox, all the chunk of the Russian gold ended up in Fort Knox. Many of the remember the as the European empires were falling at this time, everyone could convert their pounds into gold. And so as the value of the currency was falling, everyone's converting the currency into gold. And so you end up storing that gold over at the Bank of England or the Fed or the Fed or in Switzerland with the main institutions. We had the Bank for International Settlements. That was set up for when reparations, German reparations, when they needed, the economy was screwed. We had the Weimar Republic all around then, and Germany needed to repay all of its debt. Oh, from World War I. From World War I. And then until, so it was set up in about the '30s, and then you had World War II. Oh, it didn't get set up till the '30s? Yeah, it was set up just before the Great Depression. That's interesting. After World War I, and then it was managing the reparations. It was agreed, or it was enforced, that all the debt had to be repaid in gold. And so then you had the destruction of the currency. And by the way, this is a British, this is what the City of London does. It rages financial wars before every military war. So you destroy a currency. That's been 500 years of the playbook. We could go through many case after case, what they're doing in Iran leading up to this. But currency war always precedes a military war. So it's always about destroying the value of the currency. So that all the individuals in that country lose their savings. So then they have some kind of dissatisfaction and uprising. So then you can use propaganda in order to demonize whoever you need to demonize, do a color revolution, overthrow the leader, install your dictator. And if that doesn't work, blow the country up. They didn't even hide that this time either. I mean, Scott Besant was running around Davos, and I think it was Davos in January bragging about what he was going to do to Iran's currency, and then he did it. Yeah. It's crazy. This is what I really love about this Trump administration. It's kind of in line with where we started, right? Freedom of reach, not freedom of speech. You guys do what you need to do, but we don't need to hide it anymore. And that is how it is with Trump, right? Trump's doing what every other president has kind of done, but now you can see it. You get to see it, and no one cares. And it's like, it doesn't make a difference. That's fucking insane. So yeah. Yeah. So the IMF. It was managing if anyone that wanted a loan from the World Bank, you had to come off, make your currency no longer convertible into gold, and then use the IMF to have a network of currencies that can convert into dollars. And then the dollars were convertible into gold. So that became the world order. And that was set. Now the Bank for International Settlements was a very important institution. London was where all these currency wars were being fought, which is different to London, which is different to the UK. These are different things. So the city of London is its own jurisdiction that's governed by all the banks and financial institutions. The Bank for International Settlements has its own army, its own police, its own country, is separate to Switzerland. There is a Swiss central bank. It has its own army, its own police? And it's a building, just like a building no bigger than where we are right now. pull this off the bank for international settlements personal i don't know army i'm Can you pull this off? just guessing what it could that's insane it's his own jurisdiction um and it's independent of the you know switzerland that seems to be a little common thread with some of these places that control money somehow they can exist around or in the whereabouts of what are supposed to be some of the most powerful governments in the world literally in their jurisdiction sometimes but they have their own jurisdiction exactly if you if you look at them you've got these little like silos you've got vatican very small money it's like the vatican bank was where all you got all the cia money laundering and drug trafficking and all that type of stuff city of london mainly did currency wars and covert wars um bank for international settlements um is the central bank of central banks so if you become a member of the bank for international settlements you to pay the interest on the loans. It's like a Ponzi scheme. - Okay, so let me see if I'm trying tracking this in real time. I've never heard that before. On the one hand, you got the money laundering area. You call that the Vatican, right? That's a good example. On the second hand, you have the currency wars area. So they decide which currencies get to win and what language we're going to speak in money-wise. Now, City of London. And on the third, City of London, right. On the third hand, you got the central banks that then take whatever currencies are being allowed to be in circulation and control what its supply is to create the cycle again of who's going to launder money, what currency is going to be killed, and then what currencies are going to need to be put back into the cycle. Yeah. So the Bank for International Settlements is a central bank of central banks. And a lot of these roles cross over and change over time, but for a conversation, we'll simplify. The Fed is the most important central bank right now, but is privately owned by the banks, its members. So it consists of 12 member banks and those banks, its shareholders are city banks, the Chase, the clearing banks. So the Fed is owned by the banks. The Federal Reserve is a member of the Bank for International Settlements. The Bank for International Settlements is its own jurisdiction and anybody that wants to adopt the model of the Bank for International Settlements can become a member of BIS. So it consists of about 61 central banks. And that's how these different institutions, now the IMF, their role changed over time. Initially, because we went from the British Empire, the European Empire to the American Empire, with World War II being the changing point, the IMF kind of took the role of the Bank for International Settlements. And there was a bit of competition there between the Bank for International Settlements and the IMF. IMF started by just doing currency conversion and managing convertibility of dollars into gold. And the IMF started by just doing currency conversion and managing convertibility of dollars into gold. But then over time, it started issuing its own currency, like special drawing rights and various other currencies over time. And it started issuing its own loans and becoming a lender to countries that have been destroyed by wars. And so the whole goal here is you try and, you know, you vassalize a country. You install your dictator, you do covert operations in order to destroy the country, you want the resources, you take the resources, and you use currency wars and financial weapons and mass destruction in order to end up where you're issuing a World Bank loan, making them a member of the Bank for International Settlements, and then, you know, getting an IMF special drawing right currency in the end. Who's in charge here? This is the interesting thing. I've always looked for a room, you know, a room of people that are kind of controlling this. In, you know, you had the very influential family dynasties, whether it's your Warburgs, your Rothschilds, your Morgans, your Rockefellers, you know, all these different things. But I've noticed over time, and we'll probably get there, but it's probably worth finishing the IMF first, but they took all these companies public. So the investment bank kind of structured them into a new vehicle. If you look at the previous empires. So the most important one, this model was invented in Amsterdam. So it's the Dutch, it was the Dutch model that created this. In the Dutch model had three components. You had a central bank. And then basically, how do I simplify the central bank is, as a lender of last resort, what do you get to do? Banks create the currency every time they issue a loan. So let me simplify this right down. Because I think when you can grasp this, you'll get the whole nature of where we are today. So imagine there's one bank and they want to create a thousand dollars. Someone needs to agree to borrow it. That's right. Okay. So then you've created, they say, all right, boom, we'll create, we'll create, there's a thousand dollars. They just create it in their ledger. You log into your online banking, there's a thousand dollars. When you say they created it, it didn't come from anywhere. It wasn't grandma's money in her saving. It was no one's money. It was just literally, okay, there is one thousand dollars on your online banking when you log in, go spend it. Okay. So they didn't even take it out of the vault, so to speak. They just invented it out. They have the legal ability. The money supply is created by the banks. The central banks guarantee it. So they can create some form of money, but what their job is to do is what I call, well, firstly, when that $1,000 is created, it then says, but you got to pay it back with 10%. Okay. All right. So where's the hundred dollars come from? So you now got $1,000, you got to pay it back with 10%. Okay. All right. So where's the $1,000 plus $100 due? Where's the $100? Oh, it doesn't exist. Okay. So now you've got to do some economic activity and somebody else has to borrow the money into existence and you create a game of musical chairs. That's a Ponzi scheme. That's how currency work. That's the bank of England system. That's the federal reserve system. And it is by design that there's not enough currency unless you can get more people to take on debt. So therein is the function. The economy is debt. The economy is credit. Okay. That's how currency works. The more credit you can do, but what do they do? Effectively what they do is they socialize losses and privatize gains, you know, as we saw in global financial crisis. So they say, well, we'll create some money if your loans go bad. Okay. And then suddenly that bank now has a bank account with the central bank and the money can just appear there. And so they can create that money. But your, but mom and dad over here got fucked. Yes. Yeah. But where did the banks get to create the money when, and who ended up borrowing it, who guaranteed the system, the government guaranteed it. So the government borrows it. The bank creates the money to buy it. They issue risky loans. The money doesn't exist. And the only way to guarantee the system is to just say, well, here's another institution that will guarantee it. And they're all networked via the bank for international settlements as the central bank of central banks. So it all comes back down there. Um, and so if you can, your, your ability, so what, what did the, what did the Dutch have? They had a government. What's the government's job? The government's job is to take on the debt. They're the piggy bank. Okay. Their job is to borrow the money. Uh, what else do you have? You have a private corporate interest where you socialize, you, you, you socialize all the, you privatize all the gains. Um, what was that? It was called the Dutch East India, the Dutch East India company. What would it do? The Dutch East India company was where you could invest in a company that would go and engage in colonialism around the world, steal country's resources, create currency wars, and they would privatize all the profits into the Dutch East India company. But then you'd have a bank and their job was to destroy the currency in these covert wars. Um, and the central bank would, would, would guarantee it. And so what did, what did the Dutch do? They invented capitalism as we know it today. As we know it today. Yes. I've been microdosing something new lately, and it's not what you think. A lot of people refer to it as nature's wine. The mushroom I'm talking about is Amanita muscaria, red one with the white spots you've seen in every fairy tale ever. But here's the thing. Unlike psilocybin microdosing, Amanita doesn't push you into a psychedelic head space. It's more like a gentle nervous system reset, calms you down without making you foggy, helps you focus without the jitters and make sleep way deeper without the hangers. A lot of people are using it as an alcohol replacement or a weed alternative because it gives you that relaxed, warm feeling without the downsides. No paranoia, no next day brain fog, no dependency issues. And if you've tried other nootropics or adaptogens and felt like they didn't do much, Amanita actually does something. You feel it. It's subtle at low doses, but it's real. And the only brand I trust for this is Amantara. They're the real deal. Clean sourcing, no synthetics, no sketchy additives. And they actually educate people instead of just pushing product. They have 500 milligram capsules and gummies that are beginner friendly, legal, and actually work. I personally like taking their blue Lotus extract capsule sometimes before I go to bed, especially when I need to wind down after a long day of work and in my brain still firing on all cylinders. It calms me down, gives me deep sleep, vivid dreams, and I wake up without a hangover, ready to go the next morning. So if you want to try Amantara for yourself today, head on over to www.amantara.com/go/julian. That link's in my description below and use code JDP22 at checkout for 22% off your order. Once again, that's www.amantara.com/go/julian. Link in my description below, code JDP22. Which is not the. And this is when I was studying academically in economics. We're taught Keynesian economics, classical economics, Austrian economics. Those are the three acceptable schools of thought. Keynesian said the government needs to borrow in order to keep rolling over the debt. Mm-hmm. The government can stimulate to roll over the debt. Classical economics says leave it to the free market, but the free market doesn't tell you that there's actually a debt-based Ponzi scheme, which is the backbone of the monetary system. And so whoever gets to create the money wins the game in a free market. What does that mean? The central bank socializes the losses, the Dutch East India Company privatize the gains, and the whole system is guaranteed. And then you have the central bank, you have the private interest. Those are the three components. But what is the government's job is to take on the debt. That's to socialize the losses. And so the US debt is at 40 trillion today. We'll get more current. but what does that mean? It means, look at the Dutch Empire. All of the gains went into the Dutch East India Company, and the debt remained with the government. Then when the Dutch Empire falls, the model gets recreated through the Bank of England, and then you have the British East India Company. They just did it again. The Bank of England, the British East India Company, and then they bankrupted the British government. They go create the wars. The individuals end up with the debt. The British government is bankrupted. People can't see through the difference in these things. All of the gains end up in the British East India Company, which now makes up the crown, essentially. When the British East India Company fell, or it kind of was dissolved because of all of its illegal. And this is when, if you look at, I'll just give you one model. I know we're darting around, hopefully it's just coming together. I'm going to bring you back. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, people think of the British East India Company as its tea exports, you know, where. Tea exports? It's tea exports. So it would go into India, and it would take its tea, and then it tried to steal all the China's gold. So it would take, basically, tea that it got from India, but underneath those shipments of, you know, the British Navy was a bunch of tea, and underneath it, a bunch of opium. And then the opium was then sent into China to get China addicted to destroy their population. To make them unproductive. And then you would negotiate and we would invade via Hong Kong. I lived in Hong Kong for about three years. That's where the opium war started. Hong Kong was created as a settlement with the British Empire after, you know, because a bank called HSBC was managing all the money laundering for the drug trades. And then you get the population addicted to opium. The only deal this good, obviously, deserves an enormously expensive holiday song, like "All I Want" Right. You know what?

You want the gold, you want the silver, you want the oil, you want the resources, you want the real thing. And so all you're doing is you're inflicting upon everyone else a currency that has no value that goes down in over time while you're taking the real resources. And then the game of central banking is to end up with all the gold. And that's the game. They want to use their fiat currency to give that to indebt and the government to guarantee the system so that they end up with all the gold. Who's winning the game right now? Hey guys, if you haven't already subscribed, please hit that subscribe button. It's a huge, huge help. Thank you. China's winning the game by a long shot. With the gold? Yes. What makes you say that? Okay, well, the largest amount of gold that exists today is allegedly at Fort Knox, but it hasn't been audited. It had one audit in the fifties, but it sits on two balance sheets on the federal reserve balance sheet and the treasury's balance sheet. How does that even work? Exactly. So both of them claim the gold and both of them use it as collateral, but the federal reserve is owned by the banks and the treasury is the government. And so they both use it as collateral. So you can see it as, um, so in, in essence, whether it exists, whether it's there or not, it's been double bookie. You know, it's been used twice. If you were, I had. Private companies and did that. We'd go to jail, right? Absolutely. Well, no, there's one type of institution that can do double bookkeeping, which is a bank. And so your deposit is both an asset and a liability to a bank on their balance sheet. So they're able to use it as an asset because you know, they created it, um, is their asset, but it's also a liability because if you want to withdraw it, they have to give it to you. Hence why you can have a bank run because there is no gold there. There is no money there. Um, and if everyone wants their money, then the bank goes boss and then the central bank comes in socializes the system. So it was done with the Dutch empire. It was done with the British empire. And then we exported it in 1913. We tried to put it in America three times. Uh, there were three central banks throughout America's history. You had your, um, what were they, uh, the first central bank, the second central bank and the federal reserve, uh, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln were the two presidents around like the debates. Um, and if you look at the formation of America, you have like Boston tea party where we were trying to introduce tax, um, that, that all happened. I mean, let's tell the real history, right? The real history, the Europeans came to America and did what Israel did to the, to the natives in America. That's what really happened. We use ethnic cleansing and genocide. The population of America prior to the Europeans turning up was about a hundred million. People. And then I think by the end of it, there was like a million or something over, over a few, you know, over a period of time, uh, what Israel is doing to Palestine today is what the Europeans did in America that then led to the creation, you know, the constitution, the independence, then you threw the Brits out, but the central bank remained. And so if you look at the founding fathers, they were arguing over the central bank, um, because half of them liked the bank of England model and the other half said, no. Um, and that became the battle. Um, and, uh, yeah, there was three attempts. And then in 1913, the federal reserve happened and to manage the transition, you needed a war of depression and another war. So we had world war one depression, world war two. Wait, hold on back up for one second. This is just really fascinating history. So you said Andrew Jackson and Lincoln were the two presidents at the middle of major arguments over the central banks post revolution before 1913, Andrew Jackson, very complicated legacy there for sure. But he was known as a fiery, you know, man of the farmers type populist. So was he arguing against. Yeah, he was against the central bank and he actually paid off the American debt, um, and created, uh, you know, a new form of debt free currency in order to that. That's why Abraham Lincoln did as well. He could, you know, you're familiar with the greenback. You had the green back. Of course the greenback was Abraham Lincoln decided that the treasury would print his own currency in order to, um, you know, well fund wars, let's face it, but, but the treasury pay for it rather than the central bank pay for it. And his logic there was at least the buck would stop with the government instead of something outside of its control. Well, prior to 1913, there was very much, and you know, there was mistrust of the banking model. Like banks, uh, were very mistrusted. Um, and so, you know, the, they weren't, so the central banks weren't seen as one institution with the government or anything like that. You know, these were foreign forces, foreign forces. Yeah. Yeah. That's how they looked at it. I mean, absolutely. I mean, if you look at, um, I'll give you like some crazy examples. Um, the, the rice bank, which was the German bank, uh, during between world war one, world war two, um, every time Hitler would invade a country Czechoslovakia, um, it was, uh, he would basically go to the rice bank and the rice bank would then go to the bank for international settlements and say, Hey, you know, that gold that used to be Czechoslovakia, that's now Germans. And the bank for international settlements would say, all right, we've changed ownership. That gold is now owned by Germany. And so every time it would raid a country, um, now what's really interesting, where was the gold stored? The rice bank wasn't storing the gold. It was actually stored at the bank of England and the fed. And so the bank of England transfer said, wait, wait, wait, the Germans were storing their gold in London and the U S yes. Yes. And so remember one world war one bank for international settlements, 1930s, great depression, world war two. Yeah, of course they were storing it at the bank of England and the fed. Uh, in Fort Knox. And so you would go to Switzerland and say, whose gold is this? Switzerland would be an independent arbitrator and say, well, the gold at the bank of England, that belongs to you. So this became like a ledger that literally the bank for international national settlements would be adjudicating who owns it during a war and decide when to change it. So even during World War II, the Bank of England changed the ownership of Germany's gold while fighting allegedly a war with Germany. This is such a strange dynamic, dude. Do you ever just sit back and look at this and go, wait a minute, they're all in business together while a bunch of their people are on battlefields scattered all over the place, blowing each other's brains out? Yes. Yes. Even this, the governor of the Federal Reserve, Warburg, his brother was also the governor of the German Reichsbank. Come on. The two brothers were the governor of the Reichsbank and the Federal Reserve while allegedly fighting a war. This is when you realize- That's nuts. Warburg was his name? Yeah. The Warburgs. So can we look that up? He's already got it. So the Warburg brothers are in charge of the US's central bank and Germany's central bank at the same time. The Warburg brothers were a prominent German Jewish banking family from Hamburg, specifically the four banking grandsons of Marcus Warburg, who founded M.M. Warburg in 1798. Max M. Warburg ran the family bank in Hamburg and served as financial advisor to the German government before emigrating to the US in 1939. Do we have this specific? All right. Yeah. Deep Scott right here. So Paul Warburg, the Fed moved to the US, became a prominent Wall Street banker at Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and served as key architect and first vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Max Warburg Reich ran the family's historic bank and Warburg and company in Hamburg, advised German leaders on the financing and economic policy and served as financial delegate at the Versailles Peace Corps. Oh, so this is before though. This is during World War I. Yeah. Okay. I misunderstood. I thought you were saying during World War II, I was like, that would have been crazy. World War I ended in the Treaty of Versailles and then you had a big conference in Paris in 19. By the way, you know that ties to Epstein? Versailles? Yeah. I'm sure. Go ahead and tell me. Oh yeah. It's a wild, I won't take you down there right now, but that's actually insane, like how much that gets up to him, but keep going. Yeah. Where were we? I've got lost. Where were we? We were talking about Treaty of Versailles after the Warburg brothers were in charge at the same time during World War I. Yeah. And so you have the Fed in charge with one brother and the Reich Bank in charge at the other while they're all fighting wars and killing each other by the tens of millions across Europe. It ends, the Treaty of Versailles struck the Treaty of Versailles, which was also struck by the Dulles brothers. They were a part of that, which is part of what ties to Epstein. Correct. And they strike that deal, which really does totally handcuff Germany and opens up the door for them, having been so poor to eventually turn to something like this. Yeah. Yeah. So this is what I call the financial industrial complex and it's changing face over time. And yeah, we're still, you can look at it, like we can look at this today and you can see how the structure works. It's changed form slightly, the current version. So firstly, I would categorize America in the same place that the British empire was pre-World War I, in terms of the debt level. Now there's a rule, if you want to get into macro, this game works. These are the key things to look for. As long as you can, the economy grows. So the growth rate of the economy is greater. So if you're growing at 5%, then the average cost on the debt. So right now the American debt is 3.3% on average, but rates are going through the roof and Trump's trying to get the Fed to put rates down. Mm-hmm. But the bond market, 10-year yields, 30-year yields, they're going up. So that means the cost of borrowing is increasing. What that effectively means is that people are selling American treasuries. Because when you sell them, the price goes down, but the yield, the amount you have to pay goes up. There's an inverse relationship there. So right now, the 10-year yield is at historical highs, roundabout where it was in 2007, just before the global financial crisis. But it's 125 debt to GDP. It wasn't in that situation before. Can you explain that in English? Yeah. That means that the economy is producing, so you've got a $37 trillion economy on $40 trillion of debt. So your debt is larger than the economic output. Now, this game works. You keep going. The game of monopoly works. The economy grows at a faster rate than the average cost on the debt. So right now, if you can grow at 5% and the average cost on the debt is 3.3%, which is going up, the game continues. But it has a side effect. The side effect is the closer you are to the money printer, the more you get access to the assets. So what's currently happening right now, you know how the government takes on the debt? They issue bonds. The banks buys them. The banks get to create the money. They don't have the money. They just create the money to buy the debt and they get the yield on the debt. And now they're demanding higher yields and they're demanding higher and higher rates. That's normally when the financial industrial complex is deciding to manage a shift, manage a transfer. And that's where I think we are right now in terms of a switching world order, as it were. Do you think that transfer is being managed to China? No. China spent, we talked about opium wars and Japan and all that stuff, a hundred years, a century of humiliation. They spent a hundred years building everything they needed to keep, you know, the Great Wall of China was created to keep the barbarians out. They managed to keep the barbarians out. After World War II, they chucked out all the banksters and they created their own central bank called PBOC. They created, in fact, what America had prior to the, prior to the Federal Reserve, you had a state banking system where the banks created their own currency and it was all done state without the central bank. You had about 70 to 80 years of that prior to JP Morgan coming along and creating like the panic that led to the creation of the Fed and all that stuff. But PBOC, they have a, you know, a public banking network, capital controls, everything you could possibly imagine to build, you know, the next 100 years. Now the financial industrial complex, they don't want to hand over anything to China, you know, because China, they have to negotiate with. China's got their own system, you know, and it's insulated and it's protected and they've set up all the controls. What's happened in the West? I like to say, when I look at power in the world in simple forms, I talk about those three complexes. Financial industrial complex, they're in charge. That's the top of the, that's the top of the rung. Okay. Military industrial complex, they enforce the rules. They create the wars to get the resources that the banks need. And we have a new complex, which is just, I call it the technical industrial complex. That's the data, the police state, the surveillance state, you know, all that technology control grids that we're coming. If you look at America in the West, just like the British East Indian Company and the Dutch East India Company, the government is subordinate to private corporate power. That's capitalism by definition, but people don't really think about it. Capital rules and it's capitalism, but you've got a Ponzi scheme. So it's not a fair game. It's not capitalism as we were taught in the economics textbooks. It's rigged because, you know, you, you have look at 2008 socialism for the banks, i.e. you get bailed out in capitalism for everybody else. That's right. And we get to create the money. So you guys all defend capitalism thinking that it's the American dream, the American way. But meanwhile, what's actually happening? Well, those that get to create the money, they're benefiting from the debt and you're getting your share of debt. What was the phrase you used earlier, the four word phrase privatized? Yes. Socialize the losses, privatize the gains. So the reason I love that so much is because effectively what you are describing is, is corporate socialism, which is, which has basically been the wolf behind the sheep's mask of capitalism. That was the British East India company. That was the Dutch East India company. And now you could say the CEO of that new structure is BlackRock, if you want to put a face to it. So the American model kind of created a more decentralized version of that model. Right now, you could say the asset manager BlackRock is a lot more decentralized. It has access to about $12 trillion of everyone's pension, everyone's endowment funds, everyone's thing. They have technology that dictates the flow of capital called Aladdin in a significant way, used by treasury departments, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, everything you could imagine. And it's a more decentralized version of the British East India company, Dutch East India company. And it relies upon everyone underneath it being a public company. So I was, we're going way back when I was talking about the game of compromise uh one of the the easiest ways of compromising someone is making them a debt slave right so we replace slavery with debt slavery and if you play the game of debt in the right way you know the whole my whole job as an investment banker was to turn companies into securities make them tradable and then they get to use those as collateral in order to borrow against them so if you look at someone like elon musk he bought x not with his own money he bought x by getting a loan against his tesla stock once you get a loan against your tesla stock the banks control your share price and once they got your share price they could you you are subordinate to them and then they decide who you're co-investing with so a lot of the social media is owned by a lot of the sovereign wealth funds the gold funds the q80 funds abu dhabi funds um and uh those are the co-investors and what i would like to say is that this is this is kind of the game right now you have private financial industrial complex that controls the entire west the brits the europeans the americans our governments are subordinate to them i would agree china is the opposite way around the government is on top of the mcfic and tic so they have their own military industrial complex financial industrial complex and technical industrial complex but you get bigger than the government you find out what happens you know you know um it seems like both systems are bad both systems one makes a country sovereign so china china i would say is the most sovereign country in the world but living in a sovereign country means that you're subordinated to that authoritarian structure right whereas in this in this in this system we have individual ability um but you know nothing is quite what it what it seems right so you you could be sovereign at the individual level but as i describe if you want to climb an investment banking you have to play the compromise game if you want to have a public company you need to play the investment banks game if you as an individual want to succeed you have to borrow borrow borrow credit card debt student debt mortgage debt then the house gets bigger and it goes and even at the top of the game like an elon musk is still dependent upon his share price and the leverage that he has against his share price and so this whole game this whole illusion um is you know in in capitalism capital is in charge um in you couldn't call china communism um but the government is a sovereign government and so the government's in charge um and that's kind of the the the different contract you have between these negotiations so does the financial industrial complex want the chinese government to be in charge no
