Introduction: The Search for the Missing Money
Hey hey Sovereign Wealth Builders.
On February 20th, 2026, we broadcasted a marathon SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE session titled "The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods." That broadcast ran for a staggering 3 hours and 16 minutes, dissecting the structural decay of the global financial order. Today, we are distilling the core of Part 2, which began at the 2-hour and 15-minute mark: “Sovereignty in a World of Manufactured War,” where Ex-IDF Efrat Fenigson puts me in the hot seat to follow the money to its darkest corners.
The driving force of my career—and this conversation—is the universal, gut-wrenching question: "Where did the money go?" For me, this is personal. Twenty-six years ago, my father, a self-made millionaire who clawed his way out of Great Depression-era poverty, lost everything in the dot-com crash. Watching a lifetime of hustle vanish into a brokerage account screen sparked my obsession with uncovering the purported rigged nature of global finance. I’ve spent over two decades as an insider, from the stockbroking floors to the market-making desks, entrepreneurship and investing only to realize that the system is an alleged debt-based Ponzi scheme designed to strip you of your sovereignty.
Market Manipulation: The Insider’s Edge vs. The Public Illusion
If you want to survive the coming reset, you have to realize that the markets are not just "unfair"—they are fundamentally rigged using Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction. In my early days in the City of London, I saw firsthand that "market making" is often a euphemism for pure market manipulation.
The path to the top in these institutional circles requires engaging in a level of degeneracy that would make the average person sick. To build the necessary relationships, you are expected to participate in the drug and prostitution scenes that underpin the elite banking culture. This is the foundation of a compromised network. Once a company goes public, its "soul"—the vision of its founder—is extracted. It is replaced by a governance structure subordinate to debt and share prices, effectively turning the company into a tool for investment banks. The standard practice purportedly includes illegal naked shorting and using media outlets to push "buy" narratives to the public while institutions like Goldman Sachs are busy fulfilling their exit orders.
"The normal person is always on the wrong side of the insiders."
The Unholy Trinity: Financial, Military, and Technological-Industrial Complexes
The world isn't ruled by a single cabal, but by a "uni-power" comprised of three collaborating complexes that utilize a Proof of Weapons Network to maintain control:
- Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC): This is the heart of the beast—central banks, the BIS, and asset managers like BlackRock, which controls 20,000 board seats across the public market. They use debt to transform citizens into "collateralized debt obligations," ensuring you spend your life working just to service interest.
- Military-Industrial Complex (MIC): In this arena, war is not a tragedy; it is a business plan. Conflict is manufactured to prop up the stock market, funneling taxpayer-backed debt into the coffers of defense giants like Lockheed Martin.
- Technological-Industrial Complex (TIC): This is the surveillance arm. Most major technological innovations in your iPhone were originally innovated for the purpose of killing people. Today, companies like Palantir and various social media platforms weaponize data to radicalize populations and beta-test "genocide as a service" to usher in a programmable social credit state.
These complexes use "divide and conquer" tactics, radicalizing "useful idiots" through algorithms to keep us fighting over race and religion while they roll over the debt.
Systemic Blackmail: Why Power Requires Compromise
The interview suggests that the Jeffrey Epstein files are not a mere scandal, but a vital "utility to the network." Within these control grids, rising to power purportedly requires being compromised. These alleged blackmail operations are utilized to ensure that leaders—including figures like Netanyahu or Trump—remain "middle management" for transnational capital.
By holding files on the elite, the uni-power ensures total subordination. This systemic blackmail is used to strategically weaken nations and prepare them for a global "reset." We see this "follow the money" trail even in the crypto space. For example, during the Celsius bankruptcy, it was discovered that the niece and nephew of Benjamin Netanyahu were shareholders in Bancor DAO—a project tied to hacks and then the acquisition of Israeli custody service GK8 using victim money. When you see only one man like Mashinsky go to jail while co-founders with intelligence ties walk free, you are seeing the compromised network in action.
Manufactured War and the "Infranomics" of the New Order
October 7th is framed through a counter-intuitive lens: the "market making" of regional stability. The analysis suggests the event was allegedly "allowed to happen" to serve a business plan for reconstruction. We are moving toward a UN Security Council-approved "Board of Peace," purportedly to be chaired by Donald Trump and backed by the World Bank. This plan targets the total reconstruction of Rafah within three years and the integration of Gaza into the "Abrahamic Gateway" logistics route.
This shift is driven by "Infranomics." The US is currently trapped in a catastrophic debt rollover. With US debt at 38 Trillion**, and foreigners refusing to buy long-term bonds, the Fed is forced to manipulate short-term rates. Just recently, the Fed pumped $18.5 Billion into the banking system through overnight repos—the 4th largest injection since Covid. They are desperate to save the "Basis Trade," where hedge funds are using 100-to-1 leverage to prop up the government's debt. To protect the bondholders, the Fed must sacrifice the world reserve currency, leading to the economic vassalization of the Middle East into the GCC/BRICS sphere.
The Only Exit: Self-Custody and Individual Sovereignty
You cannot fix this system through the ballot box because the politicians are owned by the lobbies of the three complexes. The only solution is a structural boycott. You must defund the machine.
Bitcoin is the strategic exit, but only if held in absolute self-custody. It is "money you can own" without permission. However, beware the "Centralization Trap." The push for Bitcoin ETFs by firms like BlackRock is a coordinated attack vector designed to co-opt the technology and bring it under the thumb of the Financial-Industrial Complex.
"Bitcoin is money you can own... without permission."
Sovereignty is a spectrum. By moving your wealth out of the fractional reserve banks and into your own keys, you stop being a "collateralized debt obligation" and start becoming a Sovereign Wealth Builder.
Summary & Final Thought: The Spiritual Choice
The technocratic surveillance and "occupation as a service" models beta-tested in the Middle East are being brought home to the West. The intentional creation of civil unrest and the weakening of the dollar are precursors to a global asset strip.
Ultimately, we are facing a spiritual choice. You can remain a "useful idiot" for power, radicalized by Palantir-driven algorithms and burdened by debt, or you can opt out. The system is propped up by alleged crimes against humanity. The question is: will you continue to feed the machine, or will you take the exit?
