I dissected two major "Proof-of-Weapons Network" operations this week: the strategic absorption of TikTok into the US technocracy and the alleged assassination of Charlie Kirk as part of an accelerating "divorce" from Israel.

In macro, fiscal dominance is the only rule, driving asset price inflation (stocks, gold, Bitcoin) while justifying rate cuts despite systemic inflation using massive manipulation of unemployment data. 

This strategy relies on AI and Energy as disinflationary forces, simultaneously accelerating wealth inequality and structurally weakening Europe through forced dependency on expensive US hydrocarbons. Geopolitically, the strategic isolation of Israel is intensifying following the strike on Qatar. Regional powers (GCC) are rapidly negotiating a new order, while the UN formally declares genocide in Gaza, pushing Israel into an "economically strangled 'super-Sparta' reality".

The clear takeaway: Protect yourself with sovereign Bitcoin in self-custody and peacefully boycott the system.

Hey-Hey, Bitcoin Wealth Builders!

I am back for another week on Bitcoin HardTalk, where I decode the converging worlds of Bitcoin, macroeconomics, and geopolitics. This episode dives deep into the overarching question: Who killed Charlie Kirk?—and how that event ties into the monetary flows, the Proof-of-Weapons (POW) Network, and the financial and digital tools being wielded for global control. I believe that by following the money, we can draw some conclusions, even if the decisive truth is destined to remain unknown, just like other major conspiracies.

Why The Proof-of-Weapons Network Want Your Bitcoin & TikTok? | This Week In Bitcoin

The fiat currency debt-based Ponzi scheme requires the Proof-of-Weapons Network to actively construct financial weapons to intercept your Bitcoin and lock you into the centralized capital markets.

I shared a stark investment lesson this week: the publicly listed Bitcoin treasury company, Nakamoto, collapsed, down 96% from its peak, with 50% wiped out in a single day. This collapse illustrates the severe counterparty risk inherent in letting middlemen buy and hold your Bitcoin for you.

Meanwhile, the trajectory remains toward Wall Street absorbing control. While Strategy (Michael Saylor’s company) was not included in the S&P 500, I predict it will be eventually, subjecting it to control by massive passive asset managers like BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard.

New financial weapons are being launched at an accelerated pace:

• Crypto index ETFs have been approved to push passive investment into "shitcoins," enabling firms like BlackRock to gain influence over Proof-of-Stake networks.
• Nasdaq filed with the SEC to allow tokenization and blockchain listing of stocks. This further financializes the US service-based economy, turning stocks into "shitcoins" secured on a blockchain.
• Stablecoins (Covert CBDCs): Tether announced the launch of its US-regulated stablecoin, USAT, under the Genius Act. I argue this is a mechanism to find a new market to dump US debt and perpetuate financial weapons of mass destruction. Stablecoins effectively make users "bag holders of US debt". Notably, Tether is now the 18th largest holder of US Treasuries globally, owning more US debt than Germany or Australia. I noted the Trump family has added $1.3 billion to its net worth due to Bitcoin and crypto investments while pushing these policies.

The TikTok Absorption: I maintain that the mandated TikTok deal is not primarily about national security but about integrating this massive Consumption Industrial Complex (CIC) asset into the existing POW infrastructure. The key terms ensure:

• US investors receive approximately 80% ownership.
• A board dominated by Americans, including a US government-appointed seat.
• All US user data is hosted on Oracle servers. The Oracle requirement creates a physical "choke point". This entire absorption process ensures the platform’s cultural and information flow aligns with the broader US strategic goals defined by the POW network, cementing the path toward a US social credit score technocracy.

My suggestion for a next step is to research how BlackRock and Vanguard exert control over corporate boards via passive ETF ownership, even when they do not hold a majority share, to understand the true nature of financial governance that will oversee the new TikTok entity.

Fiscal Dominance, AI & Crashing Europe With Energy | This Week In Macro

The global economic narrative confirms we are deep into the cycle of fiscal dominance, meaning monetary policy is entirely subordinate to government spending, debt management, and the financial industrial complex.

The Rate Cut and Manipulation: The Federal Reserve executed a 25 basis point rate cut despite systemically high inflation. I argue this was purely a token gesture necessary for the Trump administration and the financial industrial complex to roll over short-term debt. To justify cutting rates during inflation, the Fed relied on a necessary manipulation of unemployment data, including a sudden, massive correction and the largest negative revision of jobs in history (over-reported by almost 1 million jobs between March 2024 and March 2025).

The K-Shaped Economy: This strategy is intentionally running the economy "hot," which fuels asset price inflation. Stocks, real estate, Bitcoin, and gold (which passed $3,700) are all near all-time highs. This policy weakens the dollar and benefits the top 10% of asset owners, furthering the K-shaped economy where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

AI and Energy as Tools: The only forces capable of combating this inflationary fiscal cycle are Artificial Intelligence and Energy. However, AI accelerates job displacement, worsening unemployment data, which the Fed then weaponizes to justify further market pumping.

Vassalization of Europe through Energy: I covered how the US POW network is actively crashing Europe using energy to enforce compliance. The US is demanding Europe halt Russian oil and gas purchases, framed as a "moral and strategic imperative" to starve Moscow. I stressed that this is actually a sanction on Brussels, not Moscow. The underlying economic directive is to coerce Europe into reorienting $750 billion of energy consumption toward expensive US hydrocarbons by 2028 under the EU-US trade deal, structurally weakening Europe and leading to soaring energy prices.

Debt Exit Signals: Key US lenders are pulling away. Japan (the largest lender of US Treasuries, holding $1.2 trillion) is hiking rates and selling assets, signaling a potential reversal of the dollar milkshake theory. The UK (second largest lender) is seeing bond yields spiking, along with France (which received a Fitch credit downgrade), signaling distress and continued vassalization.

Financialization of Real Estate: Bill Ackman and other node operators are trying to merge Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and shift their business model into mortgage trading. This creates "financial 

weapons of mass destruction" (like mortgage-backed securities and derivatives) out of US real estate, subjecting it to full vassalization by the Proof-of-Weapons Network.

My suggestion for a next step is to analyze the historical context of the 1933 US gold confiscation and the 1971 Nixon Shock (when the dollar defaulted on gold convertibility) to understand the playbook the POW Network is using now to devalue debt and transition the currency system.

Why Would Israel Want To Assassinate Charlie Kirk? | This Week In GeoPolitics

I argue that the assassination of Charlie Kirk is a conspiracy potentially utilized by the US Proof-of-Weapons Network as part of "Operation Divorce and Blameshift". This operation aims to strategically shift narratives, making alignment with Israel unpopular and turning it into a toxic asset to facilitate a controlled exit.

Kirk’s Transition: Charlie Kirk was initially a top non-Jewish loyalist, groomed and funded by pro-Israel forces. His shift began when he criticized Israel, spoke against the Iran war, stated Epstein was Mossad, and allegedly refused a massive $150 million funding offer from Netanyahu (via Bill Ackman). Kirk became a liability to the network’s plan. I theorized that Charlie Kirk dead was as useful an asset as him alive, providing the manufactured rage necessary for the blame shift narrative.

Evidence of Orchestration: I highlighted several suspicious details pointing to potential orchestration:

• Netanyahu tweeting condolences within minutes.
• Israeli media being the first to confirm the death.
• A private jet owned by a Zionist donor disabling location monitoring near the scene.
• Trump insiders allegedly disputing the official FBI story, which I noted has been inconsistent and used to push different competing narratives.

Operation Qatar Strike: The simultaneous Israeli strike on Qatar was analyzed as a preordained orchestration that Qatar likely agreed to. The strategic purpose was to make the US security guarantee look unreliable, forcing regional players to hedge away from Israel and the US, aligning with the GCC.

The Divorce in Motion: Events following these operations support the Blameshift thesis:

• Isolation: The US is completely isolated, casting the sole veto against a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
• Genocide Declaration: The UN officially concluded Israel is committing genocide in Gaza—the first time this language has been used formally—accelerating Israel's transition into a pariah state. 
• Regional Consolidation: Saudi Arabia and Iran normalization is progressing. Saudi Arabia and Pakistan signed a joint strategic defense agreement, aligning a nuclear power with the GCC and indirectly with the Chinese military-industrial complex.
• Economic Weakening: Spain canceled military deals. The EU suspended financial aid. Netanyahu himself warned that Israel faces growing global isolation and may be forced into an "economically strangled 'super-Sparta' reality".

The overall trend points toward the US exiting the "forever war" military model to focus on financial profits and technocratic control, resulting in the total vassalization of the Levant by regional hegemons.

My suggestion for a next step is to track the geopolitical news flow around the September 29th visit of Netanyahu to the White House, invited by Trump, which I believe is designed to satisfy US Zionist hardliners while publicly advancing the divorce narrative.

Final Thoughts: Boycott the System

The Proof-of-Weapons Network is leveraging conflict and financialization—from the tokenization of real estate to the geopolitical assassinations—to prop up the dollar-based debt Ponzi scheme. The dollar is backed by a global network of violence and debt, not gold or productivity.

The only path to protection is a peaceful boycott.

Reclaim your sovereignty by boycotting the system:

• Boycott the Fed with Bitcoin.
• Boycott BlackRock by holding your assets in self-custody.
• Boycott the banks by aiming to be debt-free.
• Boycott the global corporations by spending locally.

Choose a peaceful, decentralized monetary system. Don't trust, verify.

This blog was generated with the assistance of AI and is based on the views, commentary, and live analysis delivered by Simon Dixon in Bitcoin HardTalk Episode 98. The analysis provided herein distills complex global developments—including the financialisation of US debt through stablecoins, the political economy of the mandated TikTok deal, the macroeconomic strategies of fiscal dominance, and speculative geopolitical theories regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk and "Operation Blameshift"—into an accessible format for educational and informational purposes only.

I assert that the central thesis regarding the Proof-of-Weapons Network's operations, the alleged manipulation of unemployment data, and the role of the Israeli government in geopolitical operations are presented as analytical frameworks derived from following monetary flows, historical analysis, and public data available at the time of the episode. Specifically, the theories regarding political assassinations (such as that of Charlie Kirk) and the orchestration of military events (such as the strike on Qatar) are based on speculative connections and circumstantial evidence, and should not be construed as established facts. I acknowledge that the complete, decisive truth regarding such conspiracies is predicted to remain unknown and that the ambiguity serves the purpose of narrative control.
