The Next Phase of the New World Order (Simon Dixon on BTC Sessions with Dave Collum)
I join Dave Collum—who was recently featured on Tucker Carlson—for a deeper discussion on what is really driving the escalating Iran conflict and the broader tensions in the Middle East. Hosted by Nathan at BTC Sessions, we dive into the rapidly shifting geopolitical and financial landscape to see where Dave and I align, and where we differ.
While Dave leans toward chaos theory and believes markets are inherently unpredictable, I personally believe there is much more structure and systemic design driving these global events. In this episode, we explore a more controversial idea: This is not just a war between nations like the US, Israel, and Iran. It is a negotiation between systems of power. We cover:
- The Financial Industrial Complex vs the Military Industrial Complex: How transnational capital is actively outmaneuvering the old, nationalistic US military-industrial complex
- Why the Strait of Hormuz was the “economic trigger” for global repricing: How its closure directly led to the renegotiation of 50 of the world's most critical energy, mineral, and food components
- How transnational capital is reshaping global energy, trade, and finance: The rotation of Gulf sovereign wealth funds away from US Treasuries and into gold, US equities, and AI infrastructure to protect themselves
- Why inflation is the mechanism for wealth transfer: How the current system extracts wealth, and why distress in places like Dubai is leading investors to rotate out of gold and into Bitcoin so they can securely self-custody their wealth
- How “Build Back Better” becomes the next phase of control: The transition phase we are entering as the legacy debt-based fiat system resets
- The shift toward surveillance systems, programmable money, and resource tracking: How the technical industrial complex is weaponizing AI, social credit scores, and programmable money to build a massive surveillance state.
And ultimately: Why this may be the final transition from the post-WW2 order into a multipolar world. I hope you enjoy the interview.
