🇺🇸 🇮🇱 They Want You To Believe Israel Controls America | #BitcoinHardTalk Episode 87

Hey hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders! Many are confused by the question: does America control Israel, or does Israel control America? If you're watching the headlines, you might believe we were on the brink of World War 3, orchestrated by Israel. But if you follow the money, you see a different story. The proof of weapons network was in full force this week, but it was the proof of work network that provided the real signals to combat the weapons fired by the fiat currency debt-based Ponzi scheme. This week we're decoding the shifts in Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and geopolitics to clear up, once and for all, who is really pulling the strings so that the real perpetrators of the genocide in Gaza can be correctly assigned rather than scapegoated. 

Part 1: How Bitcoin Mining Predicted the US Iran Bombing | This Week in Bitcoin

The U.S. is fast-tracking its digital asset policy agenda, but the most telling signals this week came from the Bitcoin network itself.

• U.S. Crypto Legislation: With the GENIUS Act for stablecoins passed, the focus now shifts to the comprehensive Crypto Market Structure Bill. The Director of Digital Assets has committed to passing it by September, and Trump has demanded the framework on his desk "ASAP! No Delays!" 
• Crypto in Mortgages: In a major policy shift, the US Federal Housing Finance Agency has ordered Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to recognize Bitcoin and crypto holdings when assessing mortgage eligibility. However, there's a catch: it appears only crypto held in custody with a company like Coinbase will qualify, not Bitcoin held in self-custody. This is a honey trap designed to pull your assets into their control. 
• The Iran Hashrate Drop: As news broke of US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, the global Bitcoin hashrate plummeted by approximately 200 EH/s—a staggering 25% of the entire network in just 24 hours. While some of this was due to a heatwave in Texas, the event lined up almost perfectly with the military strikes. This implies two things: Iran's share of the global hashrate is vastly larger than the 2% public estimate, and they have likely been mining in the shadows on a national scale for years. Crucially, the hashrate came back online shortly after, confirming the strikes were theatre. 
• IMF Classifies Bitcoin: The IMF has officially classified Bitcoin as a capital asset, putting it in the same category as non-financial assets like land and gold. This recognizes Bitcoin's decentralized nature and lack of an issuer, distinguishing it from stablecoins, which are treated as financial instruments. This classification has profound implications for future institutional adoption and its role as a reserve asset. 
• Sovereign Adoption: The Kingdom of Bhutan now holds half of its GDP in Bitcoin as a result of its national Bitcoin mining operations, showcasing a real-world model for sovereign financial strategy. 

Part 2: How to Rollover $10 trillion of Debt Using Stablecoins | This Week in Macro 

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady this week, but the real macro story is the execution of a plan to manage America's ballooning national debt through geopolitical theatre and financial engineering.

• Trade War Theatre: Trump announced a new trade deal with China, pumping the market to new all-time highs. However, the market is no longer taking the tariff threats seriously. The damage is done: the tariff policy has already reset the world order, pushed nations closer to BRICS, and consolidated wealth into large US corporations. 
• Oil Market Manipulation: We witnessed a classic market manipulation campaign. The Iranian parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, causing oil prices to spike. However, as Iran fired rockets at a US base in Qatar—an act that should have sent prices soaring—oil crashed by 8%. The market knew this was theatre; insiders were trading ahead of a pre-leaked peace deal. 
• Trump's Debt Rollover Plan: Trump's strategy is now clear. After publicly feuding with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, his plan is to: 
• Install a puppet Fed chair. 
• Force lower interest rates. 
• Rollover the national debt using short-term bills. 
• Back his stablecoin with this short-term debt, issuing it through foreign direct investment deals and creating a captive market for US debt. 
• BRICS Surpasses $1 Trillion: While the US focuses on this strategy, the internal trade among BRICS nations has officially surpassed $1 trillion—all happening without the US dollar. Trump has done more for BRICS than the USA, and it is all by design. The private issuers of the dollar—the banks—will always occupy America until there is monetary reform. 

Part 3: The Play-by-Play Theatre of the Iran, Israel & US War | This Week in GeoPolitics

This week, the question of whether Israel controls America was answered definitively: No. Israel is a US colony, a tool for the proof-of-weapons network to exercise power with plausible deniability. The "12-day war" was not a war; it was a five-act play, scripted and pre-agreed to reset the world order. 

Here is the play-by-play of what really happened:

• Act 1: Israel Bombs Iran. This was a pre-agreed strike to assassinate IRGC hardliners who stood in the way of a negotiated peace. 
• Act 2: Iran Bombs Israel. Iran retaliated by strategically weakening Israel's military, tech, and energy infrastructure. The goal was not destruction, but the economic "vassalization" of Israel, preparing its key assets for distressed acquisition by the financial powers like BlackRock and the GCC. The damages were significant: 
• Military: Key command centers, F-35 bases, and the Mossad HQ were hit, undercutting Israel's air supremacy and cyber defenses. 
• Energy & Logistics: Strikes on the Haifa refinery and power plants caused rolling blackouts, while attacks on the Haifa port and Ben Gurion Airport shattered confidence and rerouted global trade. 
• Financial Cost: The total value destroyed over 12 days was the equivalent of 240,837 Bitcoin ($25.5 billion). They will print more dollars to replace it, but they can't print more Bitcoin. 
• Act 3: The US Bombs Iran. The US struck three nuclear sites that had been evacuated long in advance. The 9,000+ kg of enriched uranium was secure. It was a nothing-burger designed for media consumption. 
• Act 4: Iran Bombs Qatar. Iran fired missiles at the US base in Qatar, but only after giving advance warning. The US thanked Iran, and Qatar began mediating a peace deal. 
• Act 5: Everyone Declares Victory. Trump, Khomeini, and Netanyahu all claimed victory to their respective audiences. Trump was promptly nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, as predicted. 

This entire theatre was the negotiated exit of the US military-industrial complex from the Middle East, making way for the financial-industrial complex. In exchange, the military gets its profits from a new 5% NATO budget, fueling the war in Europe. A Gaza ceasefire deal has already been leaked, outlining a plan for Arab nations to administer the Strip and for Hamas leadership to go into exile. This is the decolonization of the Middle East, paid for by the GCC, brokered by BRICS, and executed by the US deep state. 

Final Thoughts: Don't Let the Calm Fool You

Markets look stable. Conflict looks isolated. Regulation looks measured. That's by design. They want you to believe that deals and tokens are a circus. But underneath it all, this is how the new financial system is being deployed: full-reserve stablecoins backed by sovereign debt, tokenized political access, and ETF custodians holding real Bitcoin while you get fake exposure.

And still, Bitcoin remains sovereign—if you hold it right. If you let your Bitcoin get wrapped, staked, or custodied by them, you're no longer opting out. You're just feeding the same system in a shinier wrapper. The dollar is being reengineered and the wars are being monetized. Bitcoin is the one neutral system they can't print or sanction. 

So hold your keys. Trust no proxy. And remember—stability is the story they sell you right before they pull the plug.
