Iran War: Follow the Money

Lightly-Edited Transcript (for Readability)

Simon: The people that rule the world are not in the Epstein files. The people that rule the world are the people that control the Epstein files and strategically released it, in order to purge some of their liabilities and also keep everyone on track to this transition to a multipolar world.

We are in a transitional theatre, and by theatre, I mean the bombs are real, the deaths are real, the casualties are real, but the outcome has been scripted, subject to two factions of power trying to get more power.

Humans aren’t really a part of the equation. If they could have no humans and just AI and robotics, they’ll take it.

Interviewer: It does feel like we’re in some game. It’s just a game. It feels like an art. Do you remember Risk?

Simon: I do, yeah.

Interviewer: It just feels like Risk.

Simon: Yeah, I completely agree. And I think we’re all feeling that right now.

Simon: The real pandemic is the psychological trauma that we’re all being put through.

Interviewer’s Son: My big issue is: what do you do if you’re not in that position, which is the large majority of the population?

There’ll be a bigger print than COVID. It’s the only strategy. Fixed assets is the way to solve that. We enter into a world where your government might confiscate your assets or they might tax your assets in order to stop you from leaving. So everyone just needs to work on the sovereign side. That’s solvable, and you need a 10-year plan to do that, and you need to start today.

Interviewer: But there are people who want this war with Iran, with the consequences of people dying. We’ve had 200 kids killed in a Tomahawk attack. On top of the other countless couple of thousand deaths we’ve had. Chaos across the region just because they like the smell of money.

Yeah, humans aren’t really a part of the equation. If they could have no humans and just AI and robotics, they’d take it. It’s a bit like a company. If a company had its fantasy, it doesn’t want to deal with HR. It doesn’t want to deal with humans because they’re headaches, they’re problems, they call in sick-there’s all these things. A corporation that’s maximizing for profit by having no humans would do it.

The same is with these sovereign networks, these corporate-captured systems. If a country is still sovereign, it’s got its own resources, it’s got its own central bank, it’s able to negotiate with this network. But the network has captured the countries. They don’t care about humans.

They’re the same people that are willing to take down two towers in order to create a justification and narrative for war.

These are the same people that have probably killed-through the British Empire, French, American, European empires, and the American empire-300 million deaths, I’d say, like some studies and estimates have put out there, in order to fight wars for the mercantile acquisition of resources.

If you need leverage, then are they willing to blow up a school in Iran with six to twelve-year-old girls in order to have a narrative that justifies part of an operation? Well, one theory could be that it was an accident. The other could be a false flag. So then you have to ask: who benefits from that?

Interviewer: But it’s all so evil!

Simon: Yeah. It’s evil because, again, you can look at it as these fully sovereign autonomous people that engage in evil, or you can look at it as a mafia in a compromised network where you either provide value to the network or you die. Or you’re called a paedophile, or all your photos come out about the sick things you did, or you don’t get access to capital, or they destroy your net worth, or they use the media in order to tarnish your career.

So everybody that is in the network that has gone too far-and that’s why they end up in drugs and doing really crazy things, where they end up so degenerate that they end up with crazy paedophilia or something like that-because this is not a nice place to be. These aren’t happy people. Evil is not a natural state of being. I believe humans are naturally good, but this is how the network works. That’s how power works.

Interviewer: So why exactly is there a war with Iran now? What is your take on this?

Simon: Okay. So once you understand this, you have to see beyond the sovereign state. Most people think that Iran, the US, and Israel are in a war right now. I would say we are in a transitional theatre. And by theatre, I mean the bombs are real, the deaths are real, the casualties are real. But the outcome has been scripted, subject to two factions of power trying to get more power.

And those two factions of power have a different vision for the world. One is the American nationalistic military industrial complex that is kind of location-based. And then there’s transnational capital, the FIC. They have, I believe, negotiated an operation that is in line with this multi-polar world order.

So then you have to dig deep and look into what are the factions of power. Most people think of Iran as a monolith. Iran’s not a monolith. This is where people get things wrong.

I personally believe the best way of understanding the world is through CIA declassified documents. And one of those that really helps you understand this is the Iran-Contra Affair.

Interviewer: Yeah, I remember.

Simon: So the Iran-Contra Affair-just a brief recap-you had that banking network, which was Credit Suisse, that was laundering all of these weapons trafficking and money networks. ^{(02)27 Mar 2026 The Iran-Contra Affair: How A Secret Deal With Tehran Shook Washington’s Core … Click for full citation}

And this was during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Prior to this, Iran was effectively a playground for British Petroleum. 80% of the revenue of Iran’s oil went to BP, and 20% was left for Iran.

Now, when they had a democracy, and when they were thinking about nationalizing their oil, America and the British Empire, the CIA and MI6, created Operation Ajax.

Operation Ajax was where they engineered exactly what you just saw leading up to this… protests, deaths, (Mossad, MI6, and CIA at this time), they were just killing people. They were doing sanctions to try and get civil unrest, creating economic strife, destroying the currency, killing their savings, and then they replaced the democracy with the Shah, because the Shah is somebody that you can control. The more dictatorial and authoritarian it is, the easier it is to control.

So you had all this history, and then eventually it leads to Khomeini, who was the previous Ayatollah. He was in exile in France. And in 1979, there was a hostage operation that led to a negotiation where effectively there was a swap: hostages for weapons, with Iran being complicit in engaging in some of these weapons trafficking routes.

And so we had this very theatrical creation of a new narrative, which is that they’re doing it for religious reasons-they’re “Islamist terrorists”. And so they come in. You had the Iranian Revolution, and immediately there was a war between Iraq and Iran.

Iraq, Saddam Hussein-which was a CIA puppet effectively-he was given chemical weapons to throw on Iran, and Iran was given weapons from Israel. So the IRGC, the Iranian Revolution, was receiving weapons from Israel. That’s how this started.

So America created an operation. Europeans allowed Khomeini to come back from exile. We don’t know what blackmail networks or anything happened in those things.

But the Iran-Contra Affair was effectively America sending the money to Israel, and Israel purchasing the weapons from US military contractors, sending them over to the Revolutionary Guard (the IRGC).

And then they would use their weapons trafficking networks to get it back to Central and South America via Nicaragua in order to fund Contra militias that were protecting drug trafficking rings for the CIA and America.

So when you understand that, you realize that Israel-and again, this is a faction of power that comes from that. This isn’t the whole country. This isn’t the government. This is a transnational structure that’s set up where many people believe that they’re for something else, they’re working for something else, but they don’t know who their boss is. Let’s say it’s 150 people. Most people don’t know who that is. So you have these segregated structures that make people…

Now, religion is the best way of building an army. If you’re in an ideological war, it’s a lot easier to recruit an army.

It’s why it’s very hard for Britain to have an army right now because everyone’s looking at Keir Starmer and thinking, “you’re corrupt, I don’t want to work for you. I don’t even see Britain as something that is doing good in the world right now. We seem to be an Epstein paedophilia ring that’s bloody, that seems to be creating wars around the world.” ^{(03) Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keir_Starmer}

So there’s no ideology. There’s no “I’m fighting for my country and God asked me to do it.”

But there are places in the world where that still exists. And Iran is one of those. A holy war-“I’m doing this to combat Western imperialism”-that’s an easy one to recruit.

Israel was an easy one to recruit an army: “I’m doing it for the protection of the Jewish people that are in a fight for their survival after thousands of years of Christian persecution in Europe.” But then you pretend it’s the Muslims that were doing it. So then you have this whole “Jews versus Muslims” narrative.

So anyway, the Iran-Contra Affair set up strategic tension between Israel and Iran, and you realize that there’s a faction of power where the US, Iran, and Israel are all working together.

That faction of power-by the way, everyone’s going to be pissed off. Everyone in the comments is going to be pissed off with this, because there are kind of cartoon versions of Iran, and both of them are wrong.

One cartoon version of Iran is the Western version, which is: you’ve got the centre of terrorism, cut off the head of the snake. “They want to kill-Death to America, Death to Israel. They’re Islamist terrorists!”

People don’t know the difference between ISIS and Hezbollah. Just confused thinking that they were a part of 9/11-just complete ignorance. A cartoon image of an evil Hitler, basically, a neo-evil Hitler.

On the other side, you have the complete opposite of that. You have the cartoon image that the IRGC are in the last holy war against Western imperialism and are the defenders of the Palestinian cause. “We are worthy, ideologically driven, in order to protect against suppression from Israel and America.” That is a cartoon image that some people have.

What is reality? The IRGC is actually just an asset management company.

They run certain assets. Those assets are banking assets, weapons trafficking operations, and really what’s called the “resistance economy,” I like to call it. It’s an economy where, if you can find a cause and you can fund a militarized group in order to defend that cause, you have leverage in negotiating and trying to become a hegemon in the region. ^{(04)hegemon (pronounced “HEH-juh-mon”) means a dominant leader or superpower that controls or strongly influences other countries in its region. He is saying that by funding and arming groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, … Click for full citation}

In the Middle East, you have various groups that have done this. You have Western interests represented by Israel; Al-Qaeda and ISIS that were created via co-opting Saudi Arabia and some of the Gulf countries in order to build terrorist factories that would then create chaos, and then Iran would build a resistance against it. Then you had, in the case of Yemen, the Houthis; in the case of Gaza, Hamas; in the case of Lebanon, you had Hezbollah. And then you have this ginormous industry that profits from this strategic tension, and then you have Israel that builds out its network as well. It’s all about conquest of resources.

The IRGC is effectively an asset management institution, and it sits above the Iranian government. So you have this substructure that has an economy built upon continual resistance.

When interests align, when Israel is a node for this military industrial complex, Iran creates the counter-narrative. Then it makes sense why you have “Death to America, Death to Israel.” Because for 40 years, they’ve been saying “they’re about to get a nuclear bomb and they’re about to kill the Jews.” It never actually happened. It’s all done via proxy and conquest of resources, land, and territory that gives you negotiation leverage in trying to become a hegemon.

You have Saudi Arabia doing the same in Libya, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) doing the same in Libya and in Sudan and various others.

You have this whole model that is built upon strategic tension at all times in order to acquire resources, ensuring the Middle East can never unify around their resources, and just profiteering from the $10 trillion that America printed on their “fake War on Terror” that they engineered.

So when you look at what the Iran War is right now, you have to see what changed. This is a key thing. There were several things that changed that now mean we need an Iran War. Because for 40 years, Iran and Israel were never firing at each other. It was only in the last two years when they actually started firing at each other because they needed to end the strategic tension. Why are we now getting the end of strategic tension? Why has that operation ended now?

Well, a few things changed.

Firstly, the Financial Industrial Complex (FIC) put China in the equation, to build its manufacturing base. That was done by the World Trade Organization (WTO), allowing China into the WTO. What that did was create an environment where America would become more financialized and securitized, where 70% of its whole economy was no longer a manufacturing base but a service base, with the largest being financial services.

That would mean that you can always push the currency up in order to get all the countries to destroy their currencies and destroy their economies, and lend it back to the US government via the bond market. And so you would have effectively the International Monetary Fund (IMF) destroying countries and servicing loans, and then those countries would have to lend it back to the US government.

And because you’re always bidding up the dollar, the dollar is strategically overvalued at all times. That means you hollow out the manufacturing base because it’s too expensive to build shit.

So the military starts outsourcing a lot of its components to China, because China is doing the opposite-strategically weakening its currency-so everything’s getting cheaper, so they can export while America imports.

And so this whole “globalization”, which was represented by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and corporate interests, effectively was about strengthening the dollar, weakening the yuan, and building a ginormous manufacturing base in China, and making America just a collateralized debt obligation that’s fully financialized and securitized.

Eventually, you know that if you weaken that dollar, you reverse the trade, and if China strengthens the yuan, then it becomes less competitive. So you’re able to re-collaborate, and now we’re at those extremes.

The US military-this is how you know everything’s fake, well, again, real but theatrical-America’s nuclear program imports highly enriched uranium from Russia. The US military industrial complex cannot produce an F-35 fighter jet or anything without China. So the American military and nuclear program is 100% reliant upon China and Russia.

So are we really going to World War III? I don’t think so. Because if there were real nation-states fighting each other, China could kill the US military in a second just by stopping the exports. Immediately, gone.

And if you’ve put them in a war with Ukraine and put them in a war with Iran and put them in a war everywhere, the military companies have made loads of sales, but the national security of America is compromised.

What does that mean? You are now subordinate to corporate interests, so you’re hollowing out and asset stripping.

So when you look about this, what is the Iran war? I believe that is because America got so controlled by the FIC, and China became the manufacturing base. America did something in the Trump administration, which is it became energy independent.

So remember, many of the wars in the Middle East were about propping up this petrodollar. If you price oil in dollars, you create artificial demand for dollars. And then Saudi pegs its currency to the dollar. And so you have to buy treasuries and lend it to the US government. And then they use that influence to build military bases across and say, “We’re protecting the oil.” And then you get to say, “Well, America protects us because we effectively cooperate with America and prop up the petrodollar.” So you have that relationship there.

Now, if America becomes energy independent, now what? The petrodollar breaks and the currency pegs break. ^{(05)A currency peg is when a country fixes its exchange rate to another country’s currency (or to a basket of currencies) instead of letting it float freely based on market supply and demand. He argues that if America becomes energy … Click for full citation}

And now America is competing with the Gulf countries. So what’s that military base for? Why do you need that military base? And why is the price of gold going up like crazy right now? Oh, because they’re selling their dollars, stopping lending it to the US government, and buying gold, because they’re not going to buy their own currency (they can print their own currency). So they buy gold. And so the gold price-basically, we’re breaking the petrodollar. ^{(06)He is saying that the world is moving away from the U.S. dollar being the centre of global trade. The official reason for U.S. bases in the Gulf has been “to protect the oil shipping lanes.” But if the U.S. no longer needs that oil, the real … Click for full citation}

The Bank of Japan comes out and starts increasing rates. That breaks the Japan carry trade. NATO comes along and America starts saying, “We’re no longer-we don’t want war, you want war.” That breaks the euro and all these things. ^{(07)Japan is raising interest rates, which will cause a big sell-off in global markets because traders will have to unwind the “borrow cheap yen, invest elsewhere” trade. At the same time, the US is telling Europe to handle its own defense, … Click for full citation}

And so if you put all this together, you’ve ended up in a situation where-okay, so what did the Gulf countries do? They’re saying, “Right, we’re now competing with America for our energy. We’re competing with Russia for our energy. Where are we getting our wealth from right now? Oh, well, we’re selling our oil to the country that doesn’t have oil: China.”

And so China’s buying all of this energy from Russia, from Iran, from the Gulf countries, from Venezuela, from anyone, because it’s got the world’s manufacturing base. It needs every type of energy. It needs solar panels. It needs wind farms. It needs renewable energy. And that whole ESG thing that destroyed the European manufacturing base-that was BlackRock’s ESG to sell Chinese windmills to Europe, to turn off their nuclear energy, to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, to stop the gas getting in, and to destroy Europe so they can acquire it on the cheap. ^{(08)China needs energy to run its factories, so it buys oil and gas from everyone—including countries the West has economic blockades on. Meanwhile, ESG investing—pushed by BlackRock—raised costs for European factories, making them less … Click for full citation}

And so America’s now an energy exporter. It competes with the Gulf. The Gulf are looking at this saying, “We’ve got US bases. We’re not propping up the petrodollar. In fact, we’re now having to sell our gold to prop up the dollar peg because the dollar’s weakening. We don’t want to sell our gold in order to prop up the dollar, prop up our currency-everything’s breaking.”

And so what did transnational capital-what did the FIC do? Well, it co-opted the sovereign wealth funds of the world. And it said, “Every deal we invest in, you can also invest in. When we buy XAI, when we buy ChatGPT, when we fund all these things, you can be involved in every single deal, and we’ll kill the Nord Stream pipeline, and in Qatar, you can get all the liquefied natural gas contracts. We’ll take some of them. America will take some of them. Qatar, you’ll get some of them.”

Okay. So now you’ve got a Middle East where effectively Iran depends upon China. America depends upon China. Russia depends upon China. The Gulf countries depend upon China. The world depends upon China.

And so now what are you going to do? Well, China is influencing the sovereign wealth funds, because those sovereign wealth funds get their money from selling oil to China. So they’re saying, “I want this. I want a de-dollarized world in the Middle East. I want peace in the Middle East. I want people to buy our product. I don’t want war. I don’t want militias. I don’t want all of this stuff.”

So I’ll fund Iran and influence Iranian politics. I’ll fund the Gulf sovereign wealth funds and influence Middle Eastern politics. I’ll fund Russia and influence Russian politics. And together, we’ll build a Belt and Road Initiative where we invest in Africa, we invest in the Middle East, we invest across Asia, and we undo the IMF and Western colonialism. Not because we’re competing with America, but because the financial industrial complex wants the same thing, and they own America.

And so this transition to a multi-polar world-those regional powers, all regional powers-there is no resistance against it.

But there is one faction of resistance.

So you’ve got this financial industrial complex, transnational capital. There is one faction of resistance against that. That’s an ideological narrative that they built up to justify war.

What’s that represented in? It’s represented in the nationalistic neocon narrative in America, where “America is the best, America’s the greatest, the dollar is strength, we win, we kick ass, let’s go get war, you do it or not.”

You need to destroy that narrative and that faction of power, or you need to compensate the military companies somehow.

Then you’ve got the other factions of power-the Zionists in Israel-that justified all that war.

And then there’s one more narrative: the IRGC at the top level and the resistance economy.

• So you need to take out all the militia groups-ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, all of them, all the ones that are done.
• You need to also get rid of the US military bases from the Gulf countries.
• You also need to have an Iran that is run as a government aligned with China.

But not an IRGC that profits from war. Now that faction of power is part of those mafia networks as well, you know, all those mafia networks.

So now what is this war? This war is the agreed outcome between the military industrial complex and the financial industrial complex, because China is now the force for regional stability and Trump wants to take credit for it. That’s what this is.

Interviewer: What!

Simon: Yeah. So what has happened since the war’s gone on? So let’s have a look at it.

Interviewer: Hold on, hold on. So, right… Can you re-summarize that in one paragraph?

Simon: Yes.

You have the Military Industrial Complex (the MIC), that is aligned with hardliners in the IRGC in Iran and the Zionist hardliners in Israel, and they profit from the forever war model.

Okay?

Then you have the financial industrial complex (the FIC), that wants regional stability. They partner with Gulf sovereign wealth funds, they partner with China, and they partner with the reformist pragmatic government in Iran.

The reformist pragmatic government in Iran was sat at a table negotiating with America. Oman was mediating the talks. One day prior to the American strikes on Saturday, on Friday, Oman made an announcement. It said: Iran has agreed-the IRGC has agreed-to zero nuclear enrichment. Highly enriched uranium will be guaranteed with Russia. China will provide security guarantees for the removal of certain ballistic missiles.

That set the framework. And who was sitting around the table? The Iranian government and the more moderate parts of the IRGC.

I believe the negotiation continued, and part of the negotiation was:

• America strikes on Saturday to take out certain people.
• Iran, you blow up the US military bases
• And then we’ll close the Strait of Hormuz.

When we close the Strait of Hormuz, we’ll create a crisis in oil that sets a time frame and a deadline.

And who benefited from the closure of Hormuz? Who benefited?

American oil tycoons. The FIC, that have now said, “Hey, guess what? We blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, Europe. You don’t have any liquefied natural gas, and you’ve got higher oil costs.”

It just so happens that there was tax policy that cut off the created windfall tax on North Sea oil in the UK. All right, so now, coincidentally, all the oil industries are in carnage, so Norway’s sovereign wealth fund is filling in the gap.

And then what happened? Europe negotiated with Qatar. So Qatar said, “Here’s your liquefied natural gas.” What was the first target they hit? They hit the production of liquefied natural gas in Qatar. They hit the US military bases and the liquefied natural gas production in Qatar. Europe’s in disaster.

America comes along and says-they know what the time frame is for how long the Strait of Hormuz is going to be closed, the financial industrial complex. Why? Because it was the insurers that did it. Insurance said 75% premium on all shipments. So the insurers, with the factions of power in Iran, shut the Strait of Hormuz.

America comes along and says, “We’re going to sign a 20-probably negotiating right now-a 20-year fixed term agreement to provide liquefied natural gas to Europe and the UK, and we’ll take that contract. Qatar, screw you. Russia, screw you. This is ours.”

What did Russia do? Russia said, “Oh, by the way, we can get liquefied natural gas and oil everywhere. Who wants it?” So China gets it. India gets it. All the Asian countries that went into crisis-because Japan needs to import all of their oil, South Korea-so you had a crash of the South Korean stock market and the Japanese stock market. The American stock market was kind of okay because it was propped up by energy companies and military stocks.

But effectively, who won from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz? Russia and America and American oil interests.

Interviewer: Because they said they’re going to remove the sanctions on Russian exports, right?

Simon: Yeah. What else did you get to do? All right, you know those military bases in the Gulf countries? Blow them up. So Iran blew them up and targeted them. They didn’t touch the Gulf countries. They touched the US bases. And all of the diplomacy was around Iran saying, “We are not attacking you. We are expelling the US from the region.”

They also said, “Anybody that wants to get their shipment through the Strait of Hormuz, you just need to do two things. You need to remove your Israeli embassy and your US embassy, and the Strait is open for you.” And so they are effectively expelling the US from the region for China.

And so now you have the US military bases. What are those Gulf countries going to do? What did they immediately do in reaction? They didn’t bomb Iran. They didn’t retaliate militarily. They said, “We will protect ourselves.” And so they’re depleting their interceptors that they bought from the American military.

So now Iran is depleting. Israel is depleting-it’s targeting Israel. Israel’s having to blow up all of its defense. Every bomb makes a shit-tonne of money. This is billions and billions of dollars. So Israel gets weaker and weaker and gets burdened with debt. The stock market in Israel does really well because it’s military-based.

Then you have the weakening of the US bases in the military. And effectively, what have you done? What is the end result of this going to be? The end result is that the Strait will open. Oil prices will reset the world order.

You have a series of mechanisms that will be announced. And what was the main mechanism-when the price of oil, by the way, $115 oil kills-that’s a global financial crisis if you have $115 oil for a sustained period of time. What was the mechanism to push the price of oil down? Sanctions relief for Russia.

So they announced sanctions relief for Russia, and the price of oil crashes. The G7 says we’re going to release our strategic petroleum reserves. Yeah, that’s 3.7 days of global oil trade. So it’s insignificant, but you drain the G7 of their strategic petroleum reserves. Most of it will come from America. ^{(09)11 Mar 2026 IEA Member countries to carry out largest ever oil stock release amid market disruptions from Middle East conflict … Click for full citation (10)11 Mar 2026 Statement by the G7 Presidency https://g7g20-documents.org/database/document/2026-g7-france-leaders-leaders-language-statement-by-the-g7-presidency G7 Leaders welcomed the announcement by the International Energy Agency, prepared under … Click for full citation}

So you drain the strategic petroleum reserves. You have to replenish all your military. You have to replenish all your oil, your strategic reserves, and your bank. This is it.

Now, what is the end result? Effectively, if you think of where did the term “Middle East” come from? The term “Middle East” came from the British colonial empires, where Britain was looking eastwards and saying this is the middle of the world and we need their oil. So the “Middle East” was a colonial term, but it was originally West Asia. The Middle East is now becoming West Asia again.

And so you’ve built the Western Hemisphere dominated by American corporate interests. Transnational capital can rent the American military whenever they need an operation. You’ve destroyed all the proxy networks in the Middle East. Strategic tension ends by the end of this.

If any of those hardliners in the IRGC weren’t on board with China’s plan, they’re the ones that will be derailing the plan. Any of those hardliners in Israel may be trying to derail the plan. Any of those hardliners in America-the neocons-may be trying to derail the plan. You push them all out.

They try to derail the plan. They kill children in schools. They blow things up. They try to get Saudi Arabia to retaliate. They start doing false flags all across and say, “That’s Iran. That’s Iran.”

And so now you’re having the dismantling of all the false flag operations and decapitation campaigns of anyone that wouldn’t get on board with the plan.

You replace Khomeini with Khomeini. And Khomeini, who was cooperating-I believe-and negotiating, probably agrees to a regime change. I don’t know the details of that, but it’s not a regime change because you can’t destroy Iran. If you literally did a real regime change, the region would be in chaos. This would be Syria with 90 million people and one of the most extensive military mights in the world. You can’t do that.

All of the protests were 100% manufactured. You don’t have a revolution where the people uprise and then take over one of the largest militaries in the world. That only happens if you have an alternative military and the military goes with the revolutionaries, and then you have a coup. There was no coup. There was no army.

It was just literally kill the currency, which Scott Percent admitted to. Lindsey Graham said Mossad were on the streets.

You create economic circumstances that are a disaster. So destroy all their savings. Get internet blackout.

And what do I think the IRGC was doing? They were probably arresting and taking out the hardliners in their own internal system that were not on board with the plan.

And so then you outsource to Israel and America the decapitation campaigns. Take out the people that are not on board with the plan. Destroy-you know, destroy-have real bad damage on Israel, and then you have a three-way narrative at the end of it.

So oil puts a time frame. You can tell this is fake because right now, if this was real-if this was real-not only would you have an increase in the price of oil, but gold would be soaring as well. Gold’s not soaring right now. Gold’s been flat, if not down, while oil was rising. That means the insiders in the market know that there’s a time frame on this war and it’s not a forever war.

If this was going to blow up the Middle East, gold would be going through the roof and oil would be going through the roof in sync. It’s not.

So there’s going to be an off-ramp, and everyone needs a three-way narrative. Israel needs to say, “We did the decapitation campaigns. We chopped off the head of the snake.” Meanwhile, it’s burdened with debt and it’s got less military-or degraded.

The Gulf countries will renegotiate those contracts-some with America, some with China, most with Russia and China. Those bases probably won’t be rebuilt for American interests.

America’s now an energy exporter. It gets Europe. It gets Central and South America.

And then what did the Gulf countries do in their retaliation? They said, “We’re reconsidering our investments in the US.” Trump said, “We’ve got $18 trillion investment-$18 trillion.” Foreign direct investment means you’re acquiring the assets of America so you can leverage America, and so they said, “We’re going to rethink those.”

What were the ones they’re going to rethink? Those were mainly defense and artificial intelligence. That’s what all the investment was. They said, we’re going to rethink here.

That creates a problem with the AI trade in America. You get a correction of the market. You get the private credit market blowing up.

Interviewer: What’s the time scale on all this?

Simon: April.

Interviewer: April? What is happening in April?

Simon: In April is the China summit, which is a meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping. It will be done by April is my prediction.

So in that meeting will be the official-you’ll probably need a theatrical, you’ll need a Hollywood movie. Trump needs a Hollywood movie. So he will probably do something similar to the 12-day war where he had Operation Midnight Hammer. He came in with the B-52 bomber, America looking like the king of the world, comes along, strategically takes out some of the highly enriched uranium. If you remember, the Bitcoin mining crashed by like 25% when it happened.

And then you get the theatre, you get the movie, and we retreated. We took out the Supreme Leader. He’ll have his narrative. MAGA will be happy because they’re like, “Yeah, you’re not the neocon. You’re not doing the forever war. You’re not doing Afghanistan. You’re not doing Iraq. You’re not doing that anymore.”

Israel will have: “We decapitated.” Netanyahu will be regime change this year. He’ll be gone.

It will be a GCC and Turkey-aligned puppet government in Israel that’s no longer funded by the US military, and Iran will be fully online with China’s plan.

I guarantee you in the next few years, there will be gas pipelines between the Gulf countries and Iran. There won’t be sanctions, and Iran will open up its economy too.

And probably what they’re negotiating over now is that the FIC-probably in a new multipolar world-wants some private corporate interest in the Strait of Hormuz so that the IRGC don’t have full autonomy to close it again. And they’ll try to get some strategic ports. BlackRock will end up with some kind of deal from that.

And we’ll end up where the massive amount of money that can be made from deals in Iran, deals in Syria, deals in Lebanon, deals in the Gulf countries, deals across Saudi-it will be the highest growth opportunity in the world. And they will sit between a falling US empire, which is increasingly vassalized, and a rising China that’s building out Africa.

And why do they need Africa? It’s the only one that’s still having children right now. They need the birth rates.

So you put everyone else in AI robotics and police states so you can deal with all the civil unrest that comes from it.

So if you are now losing your primary source of profit, which was war in the Middle East, you need civil unrest within Europe-but not where it affects the stock market-just where it extracts wealth and extracts more resources. But we can’t have absolute chaos.

So we need Palantir. We need a police and surveillance state. We need digital ID. We need central bank digital currencies.

What else happened? Thailand-this is interesting. What happened during this war? They said, in order to preserve energy, Thailand, in order to preserve energy, everyone needs to stay at home, work from home. The pandemic narrative isn’t going to work again. So now they’ve created another one. In order to preserve energy costs, “please, everyone stay at home. We need to save energy while we deal with this crisis.”

Interviewer: Do you know simulation theory?

Simon: I haven’t looked into it too much, but I’m aware of it.

Interviewer: Yeah, the premise is that since the invention of computers to now-over really decades-we’ve gone from a computer that can do basic math to being able to create worlds like Fortnite. Give it another 100 years, you’ll be able to probably recreate human existence-the world that we live in as a simulation. That’s the thesis. And if you can do it, you do it thousands and millions of times. So we’re probably in a simulation. It does feel like we’re in some game. It’s just a game. It feels like an art. Do you remember Risk?

Simon: I do, yeah.

Interview: It just feels like Risk.

Simon: Yeah. I completely agree. And I think we’re all feeling that right now.

So on the psychological level, getting down to the micro, the humanitarian costs of this is an absolute pandemic.

The real pandemic is the psychological trauma that we’re all being put through.

Interviewer: Are you feeling it?

Simon: Oh, 100%. I feel it. My world is not the same world that I understood or knew.

Interviewer: How certain are you in your thesis?

Simon: I’m not certain on the detail. I could get lots of details wrong in that, but I’m certain on how the world is governed.

Interviewer’s Son: Sorry, Simon. For me, at my age, it seems like… I’m trying to make sense of it. Is it bad timing for me, or has it always been like this?

Simon: It’s always been like this.

Interviewer’s son: But is it collapsing now?

Simon: You’re just in the wrong region of the world, because what you’re experiencing right now is 1% of what people experience on the wrong side of these bombs. You’re getting the tamed-down version, and we’re all going crazy. We’re all becoming absolute nuts, and we can’t have children, and we’re all going crazy. The rest of the world has been on the wrong side of these bombs. We’re only getting 10% of what they got and they survived and they were strong at the end of it and they’re still here.
