Trillions Extracted from US Tax Payers | Follow the Money with Simon Dixon

Author: Simon Dixon May 13, 2026 Duration: 38:30

The global financial system isn't failing; it is working exactly as it was designed to.

In this 39-minute episode of WTFinance, recorded on 13 May 2022, I sit down with host Anthony Fatseas to decode the real-time rewiring of the world economy. 

By ignoring media narratives and strictly following global monetary flows, we uncover that the West has entered the final "asset stripping" phase of a 400-year debt cycle. 

We explore how a dominant financial-industrial complex—acting as a modern, decentralised equivalent to the East India Companies—is extracting wealth and driving the transition toward a multipolar, BRICS-aligned world. 

As Anthony and I examine the structural breakdown of the petrodollar and the West's unsustainable debt model, I detail how transnational capital uses inflation, geopolitical conflict, and debt markets to socialise losses and concentrate wealth upwards. 

From the strategic drain of physical gold from London to Shanghai to the weaponisation of artificial intelligence, this is a deep dive into how governments have become mere balance sheets while everyday citizens are treated as collateral.

For investors, savers, entrepreneurs, and Bitcoin holders, understanding this macroeconomic restructuring is critical. 

We discuss why fiat currencies, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are constructing a programmable police and surveillance state, and why physical gold has returned as the ultimate reserve asset to bypass Western sanctions. 

More importantly, I explain why Bitcoin, backed by a decentralised supercomputer, serves as an un-confiscatable escape valve for individuals seeking to opt out of this rigged system. Ultimately, politics will not fix these systemic issues; only money will. 

This conversation lays out the actionable roadmap to surviving the financial reset: securing hard, neutral assets like self-custodied Bitcoin and gold, exiting the fiat Ponzi scheme, and voting with your capital by reinvesting in decentralised, local communities to protect your future.
