Hey hey Sovereign Wealth Builders.
We are standing at a historical moment where the legacy banking cartel is burning the house down while you’re still inside. The Bretton Woods order hasn’t just started to fail; it has already been exited. What we are witnessing now is the managed demolition—the "Final Three Acts" of the U.S. dollar as it transitions from a global hegemon into a regional, programmable tool of surveillance.
This blog is your essential TL;DR for the Part 1 segment of SimonDixonHardTalk, which aired live on February 20, 2026, across YouTube, X, and Rumble. The full 3-hour and 16-minute livestream, "The Dollar’s Last War: The End of Bretton Woods | SimonDixonHardTalk LIVE," provides the deep-dive analysis you need. This specific segment, "The Dollar’s Final Three Acts," lasted 1 hour and 26 minutes.
Buckle up. Here is your roadmap for survival.
Act One: The Programmable Dollar and the Bitcoin Accumulation Trap
The financial-industrial complex (FIC) is currently hijacking Bitcoin to do exactly what they did to gold: suppress the price through paper IOUs and "financial weapons of mass destruction." By 2025, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF became its most profitable product, generating more fees than anything else in its arsenal. They aren't here to help you; they are here to capture the asset.
The establishment is using volatility to manufacture margin calls, wiping out over-leveraged holders so the cartel can "buy the dip." This is the culmination of Operation Choke Point 2.0 and the "Crypto Capital" precursors under previous administrations. They want your Bitcoin in centralized custody, moving it from a self-sovereign Proof-of-Work asset into a captured liability.
Parallel to this, the Genius Act and Clarity Act are being used to usher in an Orwellian 1984 nightmare. While the "Anti-Central Bank Digital Currency Act" is being floated as a distraction, I highly doubt it will ever pass. Instead, we see the rise of World Liberty Financial—the Trump and Wickoff family enterprise—building programmable stablecoins. This is the Technical-Industrial Complex (TIC) and the FIC converging at Mar-a-Lago to "tokenize real-world assets," giving them the power to freeze or delete your wealth at the push of a button.
"The financial industrial complex uses the Bitcoin derivative complex to manufacture the volatility and the margin calls in order to accumulate and get as much Bitcoin in custody as possible."
Analysis: Because Proof of Work is uncontrollable, the establishment must force you into custodial services. This isn't about "Crypto Capital"; it’s about a surveillance state where your money is governed by social credit scores. (Note: These are Simon’s interpretations of legislative trends and not a prediction of guaranteed legal outcomes.)
Act Two: The Debt Rollover Strategy and Secret Money Printing
The U.S. is trapped in a "Debt Rollover" nightmare with a 125% debt-to-GDP ratio. We’ve shifted from Quantitative Tightening to "covert QE," or Reserve Management Purchases (RMP). The Fed is desperately trying to hide the fact that the financial system's plumbing is clogged.
This week, the system hit a breaking point. A staggering $30.5 billion was tapped from the Fed’s emergency cash window—the highest since 2020. Simultaneously, the Fed "quietly printed" $8 billion in a surgical strike to prevent the $12 trillion repo market from seizing up. Why? Because the "Reverse Repo" storage tank, which peaked at $2.5 trillion, is now effectively empty. The system’s main safety buffer is gone.
The primary buyers of U.S. debt are now hedge funds using the "Basis Trade," a degenerate gamble involving 50-100x leverage. This creates a "Triffin’s Dilemma": the Fed must choose between protecting bondholders and maintaining the dollar’s value. They are choosing bondholders, socializing the losses for hedge funds while dumping the debt onto deregulated pensions.
"The Federal Reserve is socializing the losses and privatizing the gains for hedge fund managers, while the debt is rolled over at higher interest rates on shorter terms."
Analysis: This "Fiscal Dominance" creates a fake GDP pump. Today, 92% of all stocks are owned by the top 10% of Americans. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court recently ruled that the administration's tariffs were illegal—a massive uncertainty.

Act Three: The Great Retreat and the "Border Peace" Strategy
The final act is the retreat of the U.S. to a "Regional Hegemon." The deep-state mechanisms of the past—like Operation Gladio, which used proxy armies to destabilize regions for profit—are being dismantled or relocated to Europe and Latin America.
I’ve watched the "Border Peace" video circulating this week, and quite frankly, it makes me want to puke. It is gaslighting at the highest level. This isn't a humanitarian mission; it’s a financial transaction. The 3-year plan to rebuild Gaza is a PR pitch for a technocratic surveillance state.
The "Abrahamic Gateway" linking Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE to India and Europe is the new rail for a multipolar world. The funding isn't coming from the World Bank; it’s being provided by Gulf Sovereign Wealth Funds. Follow the money: Affinity Partners, managed by Jared Kushner, was funded with billions from these funds. It is effectively a bribe to manage the U.S. exit from the Middle East. Furthermore, only China has the actual industrial capacity to rebuild Gaza in a 3-year timeframe, marking the official handover of regional influence.
Analysis: We are seeing the "privatization of Israel" as it moves away from U.S. military subsidies toward regional integration. This "peace" is a handover to a new order where China rises and the TIC/MIC/FIC secures new markets in AI-driven smart cities and data surveillance. (Note: Mentions of "Operation Gladio," "Epstein files," and "inside jobs" are Simon’s personal analysis of systemic corruption and declassified history.

Jared Kushner shows a presentation video outlining the Gaza framework for its "rebirth," with Rafah fully rebuilt by year 3 and Gaza self-governed by year 10. Watch the 2-minute "Board of Peace" video linked below:
Conclusion: Sovereignty in a Multipolar World
The "Final Three Acts" represent a managed transition where the dollar is intentionally weakened to become a regional, programmable surveillance tool. The goal is to strip assets from the middle class to protect the financial elite.
In this world of manufactured transitions, your only defense is individual sovereignty. This means refusing to participate in captured custodial systems. You must hold fixed-supply assets like Bitcoin and Gold in self-custody and run your own nodes to verify your own truth.
In a world of programmable money and manufactured wars, are you prepared to be your own bank?
