From window taxes that changed architecture for centuries to Hong Kong's economic miracle, this episode with Dominic Frisby, author of Daylight Robbery, reveals how the entire course of civilization has been shaped by taxation and rebellion against it.

    Dominic masterfully explains the hidden power dynamics behind taxation, showing how every revolution in history has been a response to tax injustice.

  • US $8 Trillion War Spending & Debt Crisis Exposed: Are We Headed for a Monetary Reset? | Lepard & Frisby

    Is the United States technically bankrupt? In this eye-opening episode of CypherPunk'd, host Matty Ice sits down with two financial heavyweights to discuss our looming sovereign debt crisis.

    Lawrence Lepard, author of the new book "The Big Print," breaks down how America spent $8 trillion on Middle East wars since 2001, creating an unsustainable debt burden while veterans struggle and defense contractors profit. Meanwhile, British comedian and financial author Dominic Frisby offers a shocking comparison: if you think America's situation is bad, the UK and Western Europe are in far worse shape.

    Our guests explore:

    • Why the Fed is forced to buy our own bonds as foreign investors back away
    • How government efficiency initiatives might slow but can't stop the debt crisis
    • The potential for a dramatic monetary reset involving gold and Bitcoin
    • Whether hyperinflation could happen even to the world's reserve currency
    • What Trump's "gold bug" Treasury Secretary might be planning

    This isn't just doom and gloom—our experts discuss potential paths forward through productivity increases, deregulation, and a return to sound money principles. But will we need a crisis before meaningful change happens?
