Western politics looks like chaos right now — broken states, endless debt, permanent crisis.

But when I sat down with Peter McCormack on January 8th, 2026, I explained why I don’t think it’s chaos at all.

I believe it’s structure.

In this conversation, I break down how modern power really works — through money creation, debt expansion, asset management, and access to capital.

In that system, elections matter less than people think, national borders mean less than they used to, and governments increasingly behave like balance sheets rather than representatives of citizens.

We go deep into how the debt-based system is kept alive through refinancing and rollover cycles, why inflation and bailouts aren’t accidents, and how the largest asset managers quietly influence outcomes without needing a political mandate.

Wars, monetary intervention, rising inequality, and even social breakdown all follow the same incentives once you understand who benefits and how the game is designed.

This isn’t just theory — it’s about power, money, and who actually makes the decisions, and what that means for anyone trying to build a life inside a system that’s no longer built to work for them.
