The Great Deception – Who Really Runs the World?

​Headline: The Government is Just the Battering Ram. Meet the Financial Industrial Complex.

​The Myth of Democracy
We are taught that we live in democracies where our vote shapes the future. We are told that the government is in charge. This is the first and greatest deception. The reality, as articulated by thinkers like Simon Dixon and Hans Eirik Olav, is that the West is no longer governed by politicians. It is ruled by a Financial Industrial Complex (FIC).
​The Hierarchy of Power
If you want to understand why the world feels chaotic, you have to look at the cap table.
​The Asset Managers: At the top sit giants like BlackRock and Vanguard. They manage the world's pension funds and insurance premiums. They hold the voting rights to virtually every major corporation. They don't just influence the market; they are the market.

The Investment Banks: These are the architects of financial products, the intermediaries who turn government debt into "assets."
​The Government: This is the shock absorber. The role of the modern state is not to lead, but to take the blame. They are the "battering ram" used by the FIC to break down barriers to capital and the "piggy bank" used to bail out the system when the gambling goes wrong.
​The Ponzi Scheme Foundation
The entire system is built on a mathematical impossibility dating back to the Bank of England in 1694. Money is created as debt. You borrow the principal, but the interest required to pay it back is never created.
​Result: Total Debt > Total Money. Always.

​The Trap: To prevent immediate collapse, the system must grow exponentially. It must find new things to financialize, new wars to fund, and new assets to strip.
​Why This Matters Now
We are at the end of a long-term debt cycle. The US debt is unpayable. The "Empire" is entering a phase of managed decline. To keep the music playing for the elites, they have switched to "asset stripping" mode—extracting the last remaining wealth from the middle class through inflation and war.
​The Takeaway
Stop looking to politicians to save you. They are employees of the FIC. The chaos is not an accident; it’s a business model.

The Control Grid – War, CBDCs, and the K-Shaped Trap
​Headline: Geopolitics is Just "Asset Stripping" & The Coming Technocratic Cage.
​War as a Business Model
When you view geopolitics through the lens of the Financial Industrial Complex, the narrative changes.
​Ukraine: This wasn't just about sovereignty; it was a financial operation to subordinate the European economy to US interests.

5/11

The result? European industry was crushed, while US defense contractors (Lockheed, Raytheon) and energy giants saw record profits. Aid sent abroad is laundered back into the US stock market to boost the portfolios of the asset managers.
​Gaza: Described by critics as "Occupation as a Service." The goal isn't just military; it's clearing land for high-tech redevelopment and regional integration, funded by Gulf sovereign wealth and managed by Western finance.
​The "K-Shaped" Reality
The economy has split in two.
​The Upper K: If you are close to the money printer (corporations, banks), asset inflation makes you richer.
​The Lower K: If you work for wages, inflation destroys your purchasing power.
This is "Socialism for the Rich, Capitalism for the Poor." The system socializes the losses (bailouts, inflation) and privatizes the gains.

The Next Phase: The Technocratic Trap
As the debt system reaches its mathematical limit, the FIC needs a new way to control the populace and manage the fallout.
​CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies): Programmable money. They don't just want to track your money; they want to dictate how and when you spend it.
​Digital ID & Social Credit: The integration of your financial life with your digital identity. The goal is a control grid where access to society is conditional on compliance.
​The "WeChat" of the West: Platforms like X (formerly Twitter) are being positioned not as town squares, but as "everything apps"—data mining operations to build the infrastructure for the next generation of credit scoring and surveillance.
​The Reality Check
The "Great Reset" isn't a conspiracy theory; it’s a restructuring plan for a bankrupt system. If you stay in their jurisdiction, holding their currency, you are the yield they are farming.

Defense – The Boycott & The Sovereign Exit
​Headline: "I Do Not Consent." How to Boycott the Banks and Build the Parallel Economy.
​The Only Winning Move
You cannot vote your way out of a rigged casino. You cannot protest your way out of a system that profits from chaos. The only way to win is to exit. Simon Dixon calls this the "Boycott." It is a quiet, non-violent, but radical removal of your consent and your capital.
​Defense Pillar 1: Sovereign Money (Bitcoin)
Bitcoin is the only asset in the world that is truly outside the FIC’s control—but only if you hold the keys.
​The Trap: The FIC knows they can't stop Bitcoin, so they are trying to capture it. BlackRock ETFs and centralized exchanges (Coinbase) are "Paper Bitcoin." If they hold it, they control it.

​8/11

The Strategy: Self-custody is non-negotiable. You must hold your own private keys. This removes your wealth from their ledger and places it on a truth machine they cannot edit.
​Defense Pillar 2: Radical Localization
Global supply chains are the tentacles of the FIC. Every dollar you spend at Amazon or Starbucks feeds the beast.
​Supply Chain Sovereignty: Shift your spending to local farmers, local tradespeople, and community networks.
​Starve the Beast: Stop taking on debt. Pay off your liabilities. Do not give them the interest payments that fuel their power.
​Defense Pillar 3: Spiritual Economics
Money is energy. When you spend it within your community, it multiplies local value. When you give it to a multinational, it vanishes into the offshore accounts of the asset managers. The most powerful vote you have is your wallet.
