“They’re Building a Control Grid to Control You” | Simon Dixon

Show notes

In my 4th appearance on The Peter McCormack Show (recorded 27 August 2026; duration: 1 hour 27 mins), titled “They’re Building a Control Grid to Control You,” Peter McCormack and I sit down for an in-depth analysis of global monetary friction and the emerging financial control grid.

In this episode, Peter and I discuss the $40 trillion US national debt milestone, the mechanics behind Treasury debt rollovers, and how central banks, in my opinion, socialise bond market losses onto ordinary citizens through inflation while privatising capital gains into stock markets.

We also examine the corporate debt boom driving the AI data centre build-out, real-term wealth erosion in the housing market, and how technocratic structures are positioning programmable money and CBDCs as crisis bailouts within the expanding FIC, MIC, and TIC framework.

In my view, as artificial intelligence accelerates labor market disruption, the ultimate choice ahead is whether you prepare to become an asset owner or remain trapped as a debt holder. Allegedly, defending your individual freedom against an Orwellian surveillance grid requires building digital resistance—running independent nodes, maintaining Bitcoin self-custody, and mastering key management to protect your cryptographic identity and wealth.
