Title: "The Global Mafia Running the World and Why They Need Forever Wars" | Simon Dixon on Commodity Culture w/ Jesse Day
I recently sat down with Jesse Day on Commodity Culture for an in-depth conversation titled “The Global Mafia Running the World and Why They Need Forever Wars.”
In this 47-minute interview, we step past mainstream narratives to examine how global power actually operates. In my view, geopolitical events are not dictated by politicians, but by a complex structure made up of three interlocking forces: the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC), the Military Industrial Complex (MIC), and the Technical Industrial Complex (TIC).
Here is a preview of what we discussed:
- The Business Model of Forever Wars: How conflicts are managed to optimize revenue through defense contracts, government debt, and post-war reconstruction.
- Manufactured Crises & Control: Why I believe civil unrest, energy crises, and de-industrialization are weaponized to concentrate wealth upward and expand a surveillance state.
- The Multipolar Shift & Sovereign Strategy: Why central bank debt structures are reaching their limit, and why my analysis suggests self-custodial hard assets are critical for navigating the shift to multipolarity.
