The Hidden Costs of the Information War & Market Update (30th March 2026) — Mar 30, 2026 — starts at 0:00
Thanks joining us as always. Hope you're well. Appreciate you. What's the kind of update on the uh on the market? Yeah, let me let me just say a few things as well on the whole Zio space thing. I can't tell you how dangerous they are. Like You know, originally like when Solomon and myself started boycotting them, 'cause you know, we were we were on those platforms before this. Before October the seventh. Consistently. Spreading propaganda that leads to the death of people. Like by covering up what was happening on, you know, um on October the seventh and the Gaza genocide. Like it it specifically said. the you know, the delay understanding of the average American person. in understanding what their government was actually involved in, which led to the death and destruction and The continued genocide. To me it's Covert complicent complicit? Um Then Spreading the propaganda that led to Iranians thinking that they can do an uprising while Massad. um was in, you know Um embedded into the protests. led to the death of innocent Iranians. So we've now had the death of innocent garzans. Death of innocent Iranians. by encouraging them to protest and from coming up publicly and saying, Don't worry, we got your back. We're gonna regime change. You up prize. We've got you. We're gonna liberate you. And and you know, that directly leads to the the the death of Just average Iranians who are upset that their currency has been destroyed which was a US operation as well. Um and uh creating an inflationary cycle where um You know, and and then you pretend and you engage in the propaganda saying you got their back. Um And now um directly, you know, um Encouraging. Uh an environment where effectively what, three thousand five hundred to ten thousand troops? are gonna believe that they're gonna take on. like a a natural fortress with deep underground um military infrastructure. With up to a million troops. that are preparing for like forty years. Um in terms of Thousands of years of history. Um and look at every history of invasion into like into these I mean, and now you're engaging in the propaganda of making people think that this is a good idea? So now you're gonna be killing Americans. So well done. You've killed innocent women and children in Gaza. Um, you've killed just normal traders in a market in Iran. Um you and now you're just gonna kill American troops. It's just uh A sacrifice mission. And and to not think, to not put together mentally in your mind. than allowing most likely paid agents to pretend just like the mainstream media You know, these are effectively being fed sources by paid agents and propaganda. The same's happening in those spaces. Uh and and you're directly leading, like information is life or death at the moment, right now. Um so I just wanna like put it out there like the You know, there was a reason why Solomon and myself like boycotted those spaces like a long time ago. Um because it it is costing lives. And look, this is gonna be a disaster. Like It this is gonna be an absolute disaster if there's some kind of Ground invasion. Uh whatever. Like w I I I haven't spoken to one person. that really knows what they're talking about can tell me how this actually makes sense. Um, and you know, I don't claim to be an expert on these topics, but I do listen to a lot of experts to and And none of them is uh and and to me it's just like simple math. You know, in terms of what what is what is the game plan here. So I just wanted I just wanted to say that and and that's why we encourage everybody to share these spaces. Turn up just so your followers know that you're um You're here because if if you're if you're in the wrong side of this information look. There is gonna be an economic catastrophe that's coming. And if you're thinking, if you're being fed information like It's okay. I'm in America. We've got all our oil and gas. Uh and and and you're like falling for some kind of MAGA? Um understanding the America is isolated from the rest of the world and we're Taking down China. Um and we're gonna choke China and the world is gonna bow down and we're gonna take over Iran and we're gonna control all of the oil just like we control Venezuela. Like if if that's your understanding, you are severely underprepared. For the world that we're about to enter into. There is no reversing what what has already happened. And I said about two weeks ago The straight needs to open. And if there is no a way the uh The the the mighty military empire. is able to brute force it open. Um then we are gonna have severe economic consequences. And they lied to you. They pretended like that America could just brute force it open and It was open and everything's okay! Um and uh you know, we're gonna get the Korea. and the Japanese and the Europeans and Kia Starmer's mighty woke rainbow fairy army are gonna come and help. Like, I mean, everything's alike. And and you need to, you know, it's I just want you to put together the the ethics of this. You know, there is a rainstorm coming. There is a hurricane coming. And if you just want to believe that it's not there. Then you the problem is is uh it's gonna blow off your roof. And you're not gonna be prepared. What you need to be doing right now is you need to get a raincoat, you need to get an umbrella, you need to patch up your roof, and you need to put the scaffolding on, and you need to prepare for that shit because with the time it comes. You're not gonna be prepared. There is an economic tsunami coming. The the straight is not open. It was meant to be open two to three weeks ago. It is not open today. Um, and it's not going to be open unless there is a deal. And it looks like a ground invasion has to happen and the meeting with Xi Jinping is being delayed until Um May. Um And uh there's the possibility of another nuke firing. Which is that if the Houthis close the Red Sea. I cannot tell you how much this is gonna impact. Like economically, financially, bond yields are gonna blow out, the price of oil's gonna go up. Inflation's gonna go up, it's gonna create demand destruction. It could go from a Global recession to a depression. If the straight isn't open. Like And they're not telling you that. They're making you think everything's okay. Everything's not okay. I just want you to understand the severity of what we're about to experience. This is like the global financial crisis. The nineteen seventy three oil embargo. Uh the Russia Ukraine war. Um And uh and all of that all of that impact into one thing. And Dark Side was helly. If it doesn't get fixed, then it if it can't get patched up or papered up. It can lead to something that looks like long term capital management. So think about all of those things that we've Experienced. Um, you know, we're we're leading to that type of um environment. And they're trying to make you think that everything's okay. It it really isn't okay. Um, and this is one hundred percent unnecessary. Uh, you know, this is um So anyway, like I I just wanted to say that. The other thing that I've started to notice is um If I I'm trying to draw parallels in history, this really is starting to feel like the The Suez Canal moment of the the British Empire. uh where effectively like Egypt took control and nationalized the Suez Canal. Uh and the Brits were like really trying to hold on to their hubris of a previous empire. Um and they thought the almighty naval fleet of the British Empire um could come and take on the Egyptians and rip open the Suez Canal and take it back and privatise it for Private interests. Um, this is really starting to look like that. There was um an article that I was reading about um uh within Iran they were passing uh Horn Moose um law. Uh and effectively, you know, the the the straight has always been opened. Now it is closed. Uh but now they want to actually formalize that as part of this agreement. Um and uh that will mean that there will be a toll. And that will feed an Iranian sovereign wealth fund. There are only two countries in the world that are prepared for what's about to come. And those two countries are the ones that have been isolated. by thousands and thousands of sanctions that cut them off from the world. So they had to figure out Um they took all the pain already. Uh they became insulated. And they figured out how to build an internal economy. And the route to work with partners where you can circumvent various sanctions, and that being China and Russia. Um and so the only two countries that are ready for this, not China, sorry, um, they that was the route, is Iran and Russia. They know they've been sanctioned for thousands of years. They have an insulated economy. Uh they have built their natural defenses. And they know they're already economically prepared because they've been in the shock that we're about to experience of isolation. Uh for a for D for years now. So we have created an environment where literally The quote unquote enemies who are aligned with China are the only ones that are actually prepared. Uh for this set of economic circumstances. Um And so look, the the markets open in a few hours, the futures markets. Uh the Hooties have said that um if this you know if this uh If this continues then we'll try and we may be closing the Red Sea or we may be escalating. In that direction. Um, there was escalation over this weekend in violation of the quote unquote ten You know, day pause. Uh, which now means that more and more American infrastructure in the Middle East that effectively props up the petrol dollar. is about to be decimated and destroyed. Um and so the more you destroy of Iranian infrastructure which is severely you know, gonna gonna have consequences, then more infrastructure of American infrastructure in the region gets destroyed, which destroys The Patriot Dollar. Um And so You know, the it's uh And the petrol dollar was the only thing. that was holding up this debt based Ponzi scheme called the American economy. after the nineteen seventy three oil embargo and what did you have to do? You c you defaulted on your debt, you came off the gold standard, you assassinated King Faisal. Um, and you forced Saudi Arabia to come onto the petrol dollar so that they could lend you more money in a debt based Ponzi scheme. Um and by those US treasuries. Well that's not gonna happen at the end of this. Um and and you know, we are in a radically different world. So Yields. are at the point where the American debt is unsustainable. Um the growth rate that America needs to experience right now. Previously, prior to these yields going up. to be three point three percent or above. That's now been revised down to two percent. Next year, 1.7%. That means America is in a debt spiral and a doom loop already. Plus the cost of that debt is about to go up. Because now you've got these high yields. And Trump knows that, which is why every time the yields on the ten year and thirty year treasury goes up. He tries to find a new tool. I believe he's built a structural s short futures position. Using the US Treasury. Um which means that if the price of oil doesn't go down Those that short position could lead to Um another type of uh systemic risk event. Um or financial crisis. Um the price of oil is up to the point at which He had to give Russia and Iran sanctioned relief. And the G seven countries, they don't have enough strategic petroleum reserves. In order to suppress this price of oil. uh for you know for more than a few months. Um at at these rates. No one believes anything that the Trump administration says. Uh Trump is uh basically seen as a senile fool. Um speaking like your granddad that's drunk. And you're embarrassed by and you're trying to figure out what the hell um they're saying. So now no one listens to You don't like the dance. The don't Um And so what tools I I I'm running out of some someone else tell me a tool that the the the the the You've got Iranian sanction relief gone. Uh Russian sanction relief call. Strategic petroleum reserves. Uh they're being depleted and you can't increase the rate. Um and you've got uh no one believes a a damn thing that Trump says. Um and you think he's a drunken sailor. Uh what what other tool have you got? Th there's only one tool left. Sign a deal with Iran. And when you sign that deal with Iran It's gonna have severe Concessions because Iran's the only economy. that is built to be able to survive what's about to go what's about to happen. And as thing gets worse for China. Um that gets worse. Like we're about to have if we get another Another month of this we're gonna have an Asian crisis. Uh, we're gonna have a European and Asian crisis. Um and yes. America, you need the petro, daughter. You also need the euro dollar. And you also need the Japan carry trade. If you wipe out those three things and you don't get above Um three point three percent growth, which is about to go up, the growth rate you need to achieve. Um then we're entering to a a guaranteed recession. Um and Trump will literally go down in memory. Just like the British Empire. that over the Strait of Hormoose, just like it happened to the British Empire. I've uh the um the you know the the Suez Canal. Um this will go down in history. And and I I think it's already happened. Um so you can bomb as much infrastructure as you want. But everything happens on the ground. You know, we saw this in Gaza, right? You can bomb children, you can bomb universities, you can bomb You can do whatever you want. You can tr you can level it. But when the infrastructure is underground And you've set up an environment where they're they're isolated and The asymmetric warfare that we're in, the Iran, Russia and China have the better technology. They've got the ballistic missiles and they've got the drones. Everything you fire. Just comes back with something significantly cheaper. Um Run the math. May maybe I'm missing something. Maybe someone can tell me how I've got this wrong. Uh but but the the arithmetics are not working. Like this is just This is just simple maths and physics at this stage. It doesn't work. Yeah. And Simon, um You know you mentioned about um You k you mentioned about things are gonna get bad. And one of the things you spoke about is That things are gonna get bad in uh Europe. Do you see this happening in total in in the uh do you think it's gonna be worse in the UK compared to the rest of Europe? Do you think it's gonna be worse in the cent uh 'cause I remember when we just had this discussion maybe weeks ago, but this may have been before the war, you I think your position was always, oh yeah, it is gonna get bad in in the UK. But you you uh something like the center of the U It would be fine because it's kinda like the financial capital or something along those lines. Do you still hold that position or because of the war, has that now changed? No, the only people that survive this are the rich. Like that's just reality. Like this is mass wealth transfer again. Um the the what the conditions that we were talking about Is that if there is a deal and this is a bluff and the straight opens Um, then we can deal with the ramification of at that time there were seven hundred chips. Uh we've been open we've been closed for a month. Um and and you know I was saying there's there's no set of circumstances where this can happen for another week, another two weeks. We're we' now at a month. And if we're going for another month. Like I c I can't tell you how catastrophic this will be. The rich are the only people that are gonna be able to survive this shit. Um because money buys auctions. But everything's about to get incredibly expensive. Um and uh and and Europe's gonna go into U Europe and UK could potentially go into negative growth. Um and they can't hike grades. Like their yields are through the roof. Um the only op the only thing you've got left in that environment, we don't have the world reserve currency. You know, Europe has got the second largest currency in the world. But the only thing you've got left after that is austerity. And Trump is tapping up Europe to say buy more war, buy more war, buy more weapons. They they're not gonna be able to look after Europe is not gonna be able to look after the Europeans. Um your your government is rendered useless at this stage. Like it's just you, yourself, your community, your family. Your government ain't gonna help you. Your government ain't gonna be able to help you. Um in fact they're gonna make it worse. They're taking on debt on your behalf to send war to send weapons to Ukraine. And unless you profit from war. then you ain't gonna be protected from that. Um you know, this is this is it's really severe. Um And if things get worse next week, which it looks like it is. Uh You know, just buckle up. Like energy costs are going up, your mortgage is going up, your credit card bills are going up, your interest rates are going up, your energy is going up, which means that everything is going up. Until it hits the point. When no one can afford things. Um and so therefore it all crashes because demand Is broken. That's that's that's already gonna happen. How long are they gonna let it happen? Are they gonna turn a recession into a depression? Are they gonna reset? supply chains that are gonna take decades to to come through. Or are they gonna do something that only takes a year or two? Um money printing is their their only solution. But the the the The shortage of oil. is not gonna be solved until alternative infrastructure is built. Met that renders the Middle East irrelevant. And that's gonna take years. That's gonna take years. And like in terms of like London, is it so you think just the centre, like Mayfair, these type of areas are gonna be fine, or do you think anything would No, absolutely not. The the more rural you get, you need to get away from peop people are gonna be going bloody The more you the closer you are to a city, the more psychopaths you're gonna be around, the more crime. Like this isn't turning around. I'm not trying to say I I'm not here to be a doomer. I'm just telling you like mass. Like if if you want to be in the city of London And you think it's bad now. Wait till what it looks like next year. Like everything gets worse. Nothing's getting better. Nothing nothing is being fixed here. So you think the and then that's probably kind of like That y I think it sound sounds like you're talking more from a like a cultural safety perspective, but what about like a financial? Like for example, do you expect property prices to drop or i in the center or everywhere or what? I mean, yeah, look off uh obviously get into the minutiae of which properties are gonna be affected more. I mean, in the case of the UK, London has always been more resilient with real estate because And the major cities you've always got institutional capital that will And put a bit of a uh a flaw on prices. Um, and uh, you know, when everyone's looking for capital and they wanna deploy to real estate. They'll look for bargains, but um they'll always go to London over like other areas which are more risky. Um so London will always be more insulated in terms of uh property prices. Um but I'm I'm no property expert, but um You know, think think about those um those those normal trends. But yeah. Oh, 'cause I was asking me from more from the perspective, do you remember when you were talking to the US and you said that there's gonna be like a massive Uh essentially a massive collapse on the value of properties, especially if it goes into a depression. So I was trying to s ascertain whether it was the same in Europe and the and the and the and the UK. Yeah, I mean uh American real estate will be better than UK and European property. Like um uh uh the the impact in America will be severe, but it will be less than in Europe and less than in Asia. But we've already seen that in the stock market reactions. So since the war started, the S and P's lost four point five trillion dollars. Um but the impact in the Japanese stock market in the South Korean markets and in the European stock markets has been Um more severe. So yeah, it's It's gonna be bad for America. Um, but it's gonna be worse in in Europe and Asia and and UK is basically Um be worse than Asi as well. Yeah, absolutely. What do you mean by Asia? Like um Well the the the Philippines, Vietnam, Bangladesh, India. Um, China was the only one that was prepared for this, but if this goes on for a long period of time, um then it just depends on the Chinese Iranian relationship, which I think is pretty strong. It is, yeah. Um, but the whole world just still needs to buy shit from China. That doesn't get fixed for at least another five years. Interesting. What about what about and don't you think China's belt and road is going to be taken advantage of all these distressed opportunities? Of course they are. They definitely will. But what about like Malaysia and um Singapore? Singapore seemed like it was insulated as well. You don't think so? Yeah. I mean look, islands of millionaires and billionaires will be fine. If you if you're rich, you'll be fine. You'll buy your way out of it and the higher prices will just you know, they'll they'll get more tax revenue, they'll get more um Yeah, th this is this is a problem that is solved for rich people. But if you end up with supply chain issues. You know, it there's only so much money you can put out there uh to pay for your energy needs and things like that. You know, I'm I'm on an island that depends upon the UK functioning. Um if the UK stops functioning, the island will be fine, but we still need our energy from UK. Um and As long as there is a price at which we can get our energy. Then People that have means that be able to pay that price, but they'll probably start doing carbon credits and all sorts of world economic forum agendas. Like they'll they'll they'll weaponize this for their police and surveillance state agenda, like How are they gonna solve the the the energy crisis? Well You charge for it, you create markets for it, you create tokens for it. Okay, so that's what they'll start doing. Well, a couple of questions for you. What about Malaysia? Uh yeah, same same thing. Um I don't think any of these You know, not not many of these countries are gonna be insulated from the and the recessionary impact right now. It is It it it's only the the countries that are prepared for this is China, but it'll be severely impacted by lower exports um if everyone's consumption drip up. I mean American financial system doesn't work. Um, you know, if no one can consume, that blows up. Um and um Um Europe is a dependency upon America. Effectively. Um and the Asian countries, um, they're dependent upon The vast um export industries and imports and energy dependencies. Um so there's there's no insulation here. Uh, you know, this is uh we're effectively reversing globalization where every single country in the world is gonna say, Right, we had Covid, now we've had this. Um how d how do we make sure this never happens again? Everyone's gonna become insulated. You're effectively unwinding globalism. Interesting. Couple of questions for you. Uh first of all, thanks to Mead for the level one membership and Bash for the level one membership. Appreciate you becoming an important member of the community. We do appreciate each and every single one of our members. It shows that, you know, you're contributing to What we're doing here, and that matters a lot. That means a lot. It means you value what we're doing. So I really appreciate it and appreciate the help. Humma says for universities in Tehran and Itfahan were here. Long live knowledge. Yeah, it is a kind of demonstration of the psychology of these people if they're hitting the center of learning, the center of knowledge and information and ideas and thoughts. So I agree with what you said there. And then we've got a couple of questions for you, Simon. I'll read them both out to you and then you can answer. I'll I'll add one more thing as well. Like I think um I think Iran is winning um the PR battle as well. Like maybe I'm um maybe I'm in a bubble. But I'm looking at the the the videos that Iran is releasing. I'm looking at the sentiment of how Americans feel about Iran. Um, you know, I think they're seeing a strong country, um, with a strong army. Like I think they may have had a perception before that this is some like ragtag bunch of terrorists with flip flops in the sand or something like that. And they're they're actually starting to realise, okay, we attack them. This is the Epstein class. Like, you know, the even just the phrase. of the Epstein regime and various other things like that. Um You know, I th I think um I think Iran is winning the the the marketing um and PR battle as well. And I If we end up in a situation where Americans hate Israel so much. Which more and more obviously do. Um that they actually want Iran to win this just so that Iran can liberate them from their Epstein regime, which is effectively what Iran's PR marketing is is achieving right now. And they attaching it to their four oh one K and the value of their assets. And they can say it wasn't us, it was Israel. Um, effectively you've created an environment where the American people are are are wanting I'm on to win. And that's why I'm scared that they're actually doing this ground invasion just to leave to the sacrifice of Americans so that they can then do what effectively They can just say, look at the that Iranian terrorist regime that killed all these American Um people. And so I I think they're actually at the stage where um Trump is just sacrificing Americans for PR to win the PR battle. That's I'm I may be From what I've learned around how these operations work They're willing to take three thousand Americans down in twin towers. So why wouldn't they be willing to put three thousand people on an island so that they can uh just basically try and do what they did on October the seventh, where they painted the resistance against the oppression of the Israeli terrorists. Um and try to make out like their um Hamas is the same as ISIS. Uh I I hope that I'm not right, but a part of me thinks that these psychopaths are gonna be sacrificing Americans just so that they can change Um the P R battle here. Um by just literally doing what they did on nine eleven, sacrificing Americans. Yeah. Yeah. Uh Simon, there is a couple of questions for you actually. Let me quickly get them up. Um It is a question for Simon. If the US dollar falls, what would be the next best currency to hold? And the other one was what happens to mortgage interest rates in UK, Simon. I think you answered that one before the about the track uh you know, the fact that you a lot of UK mail mortgages are based on trackers, so they're gonna pass so they're gonna go up there. I'll let you elaborate again 'cause there might be new Two questions. So firstly, the dollar is strengthening. Um it was weakening before, which is what America needed. America needed its currency to weaken. So that it could rebuild its manufacturing base. And build its um exports. As a result of this war, that trend has reversed, which means the you're you're still growing on increased deficit spending. Um and uh you know the Your exports are becoming more expensive. And you're financializing further, where people are going to the dollar as a bit of a safe haven relative um to their own currency. That's what created the problem in the first place. Now once the war ends, you'd expect that to have a sharp reversal. Um so throughout this war the dollar the dollar has been strengthening. Which means that you're increasing your dependency upon Chinese exports. Um or you're gonna have a major inflationary um impact in trying to insulate your economy. There's no rebuilding your manufacturing base with a strengthening dollar. That that you can't defy gravity here. Um and in terms of like at the moment, um Basically, if you're trading on this, the DXY, which is a basket of currencies priced in dollars. And that went to a low of ninety six dollars. It's now about a hundred dollars. Um, and uh, you know, whether that I I think because everywhere's gonna be slightly more i affected. Um and you've got these supply chain issues. Um You know, that's currency, but but currency look. Currency should just be to meet your living expenses. You shouldn't be saving in a currency. Um you should be saving an assets. You'd like um Assets are the only ones that outperform currencies go decrease your purchasing power. And so the only currency you hold is what you need to meet like three months six months or depending on how conservative you are, a year or two, or whether you're close to retirement. um how much cash you actually need. But When you save in currencies, you're losing value and you're about to lose a lot more. um in in this inflationary part, unless we enter into a depression, which the issue will be your job at that stage. Or we enter into a recession. The issue will be job security. Um the other part is um My understanding, and again, um I don't know if Grand Cardin or someone comes up, they're more of an expert on real estate than I am. Uh, but I do know that in in America in general. Um most people uh like when they enter a cash flow issue And because the the price of their real estate has gone up so much. They don't really have it, like their their home has become their asset. And what they do is when they need cash, they take out a loan and they release equity from their home. And so they just lever up a bit more. So the higher the interest rates are. Um, you know, the the more uh your uh the interest rate you'll be paying to release any equity off your home. Um, and my understanding is that the US real estate system is a bit more fixed interest. Um so there's a bunch of people that can't leave their home because they got They locked in interest rates at very low interest rates. Uh and banks are now losing money on those. on those real estate mortgages. And so th they're locking in. um negative equity which creates distress in the banking system. That's why Trump wanted everyone to roll over onto a fifty year mortgage and Um he was looking at various incentives. Uh but in the case of the UK, most people Um is slightly different. My understanding is that most people that have a mortgage Um, they tend to get when you get a fixed mortgage in the UK, it's locked in for two years. And then it moves to tracker. Um, so if if they look, we're gonna be in we're gonna be in the place where the Bank of England just stops working, right? Two choices. You either create demand destruction by increasing interest rates i. e. making mortgages unaffordable for people so that they default on their mortgage. So that you can get prices down. By destroying demand. Um, and then that has a knock on effect of um creating companies that look to lay off staff and replace them with AI and start to make those you know, start to think about how they can do that to save costs. Or Um you you try and give someone relief. By decreasing interest rates, which then Kicks off inflation. Um, and uh, but it gives someone some relief. And so you effectively hit the point where nothing works. Um and and we're hitting we're hitting that point right now. Um Now they've they were like inflation was coming under control in the UK and Europe. Um, and they were on a rate decreasing cycle. Uh the European Central Bank and the Bank of England held rates, so that's reversed. Um, but we could hit a phase where they have to increase those rates to tame him. Um that's gonna create severe distress in the mortgage markets. In the UK, they're entering into a new regulatory regime around real estate. Um, a lot of people left the UK Uh, because there was new tax regimes around your worldwide wealth. As well as a new regulatory regime where you had to meet As a as a landlord, um you had to meet really strict requirements. So There was already stress in the real estate market. The country went to um just one percent growth. Um and there's no vision. Like our our only vision is Getting the government to print money and spend money on war. Like literally the stock market did okay. But the economy sucks. Um and so my fear is that you enter into What do we do you know, what do we do to simulate the stock market? Well Um, we spend more on more, but there's no manufacturing. Also in the North Sea. Um they started in in Germany they switched off all their nuclear energy. Um they started it like investing in buying loads of shit from China in terms of renewable energy, which they can't afford. in order to run because it doesn't produce a cheap energy. And then they started implementing uh windfall taxes Um up in Scotland on the on the North Sea oil trade. A bunch of people, uh, that industry, like our North Sea oil, we just became a dependency upon Norway and America. So Um To me, it's not stupidity, it's deliberate sabotage. Um and and that's because our governments do not work for us. They they are sabotaging the economies for the wealthy. Appreciate that Simon. Uh, hopefully that was helpful to a lot of people and they can uh make plans for how they're gonna navigate. And that's really important. This is why I love people like Simon being on here and Dark Side and uh Gary and uh Robert. 'Cause they give us the financial breakdown which is important to have and we can understand the global aspect of it, but One of the things these guys always do, and we I do try and ask this question as well, but they do themselves, is they do give you a kind of you know some ideas of what your own internal position is, and then we can all be more uh in a better position to be able to make decisions 'cause there's gonna be tough decisions to make in the next weeks. in the next days, in the next months, in the in next years. And uh, you know, we're gonna have to think of how we're gonna survive this situation. Um And so Hopefully that was helpful and hopeful hopeful people can make uh make decisions uh based on that. But yeah. One more thing that is important and your role and part of what we're doing here is to not not engage in propaganda, not be inaccurate, not not do something deliberately, but to to correctly point blame where it needs to be pointed. And obviously there's been a massive movement in the world understanding Israel's role. Um in all of this. Um, and so it's really important to not allow Israel and the Trump administration Um and also the corporations that benefit from this. To be able to blame shift on to saying oh it was the the evil terrorist regime in Iran. Uh no, ev everyone needs to play their role. And when when they were you you've seen the impact of that. When they were trying to engineer a regime change. And they were trying to hype people up, saying this evil regime is shooting people, hundred thousand, a million people, six million people are dead. Like you can see your role in that. We had to combat that. Uh because people will start like you know, people make If you don't have the right information, you can't make the right things. And in order to have a solution at the end of this We have to correctly be able to allocate blame. So that we can actually start thinking, well, how do we resolve that? Because if you're working off the wrong information, you're gonna be blaming the wrong thing. And if you blame the wrong thing, then you know The people that are doing this and benefiting from this are gonna get away with it. Um so the information war is really important as well. People have to understand. You know, that um it's Trump And the Epstein class and the Israeli regime and the corporations that are profiteering from this. um that we need to be, you know, allocating our blame to. Yeah. For sure. For sure, Simon. Very important. Um there is one more question for you, but I think it's really broad, but I don't know if you want to answer it or not. And if not we can go to the other speakers. Simon, is this not the is this not kinda planned global reset WEF? Y yes it will be. Look, you either buy into two models One is that they engineer it. Or one is that when it happens, they weaponize it. It doesn't matter what you believe. The fact is they will do the World Economic Forum, Global Reset. Um one hundred percent they're gonna weaponize it and utilize this for all they can. Um, so whether you believe in a conspiracy or whether you think they're just evil reacting to a crisis. Or even just doing what you're meant to do in a crisis. That that's irrelevant. Yes, they're gonna it is a global reset and the world's already completely different to the world We were in um before. Trump decided to uh bore me wrong. Dark side, did you wanna chime in anything on the financial side before we pivot topics? Um Thanks, Simon. Uh you did a great job. I would just add that You know, there's this thesis that the even the rich will do We'll be fine. I'm not sure that's true. If you break things to the extent that it appears we're on target to do so. No one's gonna be fine. I mean this is this is entering into, you know, fourth turning vibes. And um I would just say societally. You know, while You're on an island there. Um the United States is Is not, right? Like we are fifty states that are very different. And societally we're we're really against it. We're up against it. And I'm not sure we can handle uh what's coming if they don't fix this again, I'm not even sure you can't fix it at this point. The question is how much damage will be done. And it just appears to me that they have No desire to stop doing damage. I spent the night last night just asking one question. Did the United States stand again? From this scenario. from from this playing out, from this war. What Possibly. Like if if I could sit down with any of these politicians and ask one question. Did we stand again? I think I have a pretty good idea what we stand to lose. But I'm struggling to even come up with Basic understanding. Potential gains. And that's how you know that this thing is really jacked up. Because you know, just thinking logically. Trying to understand. Just basic thinking. Principles. Did we stand to gain? Define victory for me. And I just can't get there. But uh Sherman, I think you made a great point. I think there's a real risk that we go into full blown crack up boom Limers. Um, you just can't cut off energy to the world. It's it's not an option. Uh with that I'll land the plane.
