The Dollar Vigilante

Welcome to the end of the world as we know it.

We’re so past ATODASO’s it’s not even funny anymore… 

I’ve been telling you this for months, but people just love to plug their ears and pretend the system is going to save them. Remember when the “peace president” told everyone this whole conflict would be over in a couple of weeks? “Just a little short-term pain for long-term gain,” they parroted. Five months later, the entire global energy grid is being methodically systematically dismantled right in front of your eyes.

Let’s just look at the last few days of news… It reads like a script written by a geopolitical arsonist. Iran confirms Ukraine just attacked Iranian ships in the Caspian Sea, killing Iranian sailors. Why is Ukraine bombing Iranian vessels in the Caspian? In what universe does that narrative even make sense? Right on cue, the US launches a massive barrage of 35-plus strikes directly on Ahvaz, the capital of Iran’s main oil-producing Khuzestan province. Then the Houthis hit Saudi Aramco’s Jazan refinery with three ballistic missiles. Hours later, Saudi Arabia completely suspends operations at Abqaiq – the world’s largest oil processing plant, stripping 7 million barrels a day off the global market. That's 7% of global oil supply, poof, gone overnight. Throw in a random drone hitting a US natural gas storage facility off Egypt and the Houthis threatening to slap mandatory tolls on the Bab al-Mandab Strait, and you have total energy warfare.

This isn't an accident, folks. It’s a coordinated agenda to wipe out the world’s oil and gas supplies and trigger an orchestrated economic collapse unlike anything humanity has ever seen.

And where is the “peace president” while all this goes down? Sitting at Lindsey Graham’s funeral alongside Hegseth, Zelensky, and Netanyahu, joking about how Lindsey “never saw a war he didn't like.” Then he turns around and tells us the federal government can't afford basic things like daycare, Medicare, or Medicaid anymore. “We’re a big country, you gotta let the states raise their taxes and pay for daycare,” he says. “We can only take care of one thing: military protection.” You hear that? Pay up, state taxpayers, because the federal government is too busy funding endless global proxy wars to care about your grandmother's healthcare or your local community.

Meanwhile, they tell you we’re in a “golden age” while your grocery bill doubles and the Fed gaslights you with fake 3% inflation numbers straight out of Weimar Germany. They're telling you to embrace your digital enslavement, build out AI data centers the size of small cities, and just “go with the flow” of the new technocracy.

Even Sam Altman is out here dropping hints, casually admitting the singularity has started. They literally put the playbook right in front of you. Go rewatch The Matrix or Terminator 2. Remember why Sarah Connor got thrown into the asylum? For blowing up Skynet's AI data centers before they took over. They told you decades ago how this technocratic prison was going to be built, but everybody was too busy drinking the Kool-Aid to notice. 

It’s all an orchestrated distraction while they lock down the 6G grids, push the nanotech, and transition you into a fully controlled digital open-air prison. Look at the so-called ‘investigations’ in Congress! You've got Rand Paul grilling Anthony Fauci over gain-of-function research, the lab leak, and secret CIA funds, and what does “The $cience” do? He sits there and pleads the Fifth Amendment over 100 times. “Dr. Fauci, what color is the sky?” “On the advice of counsel, I decline to answer.” It’s a total circus. And while everyone cheers on the congressional theater, the administration quietly signs another $1.24 billion contract with Pfizer for more injections through 2027.

Now, if you're still not sure what's going on, I'm sorry to tell you, you're going to be in the camps and they're going to turn you into an AI slave before you can say “I decline to answer”, and it’s going to happen through the nanotech that's already in your blood. But for those of you with eyes to see and ears to hear, you can avoid all this stuff, and actually de-clot your blood because the TZLA.club has made the technology that does that available to you. 

If you still think a politician, a vote, or a swamp-draining speech is coming to save you, you’re trapped in a deep state of mind control. The system is crumbling by design. That’s why we’re building out the ranch, expanding the livestock, and making sure every piece of food we eat is produced right here under our own control.

I’m dropping a massive dispatch tomorrow night in the Dollar Vigilante newsletter that reveals brand new, underground information explaining the exact mechanism behind this energy crisis… and why oil is primed to hit crazy $150 numbers real soon. 

If you want the real data before the September crash hits, you need to be connected to the true OGs who have been in this since day one and the best way to do that is to claim your 30% discount subscription to the Crypto Vigilante which includes TDV membership absolutely free! (Hurry, because this offer is ending at midnight on Sunday) 

Stop relying on controlled opposition and theater actors. Wake up, get off the grid, secure your assets, and prepare for what’s coming… Because the technocrats aren't asking for your permission anymore.

For the last couple of years, I haven't been talking about crypto as much as I used to. With everything going on in the world… the globalist agenda, the geopolitical madness, the push toward Digital ID’s and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs)… it felt like there were other urgent fires to shine a light on.

But it’s time to get back to our roots. Crypto is one of the absolute biggest value drivers in The Dollar Vigilante’s history. We featured Bitcoin at $3 back in 2011, and we recommended Ethereum at $2 in 2016.

Ed Bugos, my partner and senior analyst at TDV, and I always laugh and cry about the same frustrating pattern: nobody wants to sign up for financial newsletters when assets are dirt cheap. Everyone waits until Bitcoin is smashing all-time highs and featured on every mainstream news outlet before they get excited and buy the top.

So we decided to switch things up. We are currently in a crypto bear market. We’re getting close to the end of it… likely within the next few months. That means right now, when everyone is terrified or bored, is the absolute best time to position yourself.

That’s why we’re running Crypto Week, and why I brought Ed on for a deep dive into where the markets are headed… and why you need to be paying attention before the crowd returns.

The Broker Who Saw the Tech Bubble Pop and Gold Hit $4,000

If you don't know Ed Bugos' background, the guy is a legend. Back during the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, Ed was working as a stockbroker in Vancouver. While every other broker was telling clients to buy overhyped tech stocks, Ed told his clients to sell all their tech shares at the top and back up the truck on gold at $200 an ounce.

It was one of the trades of the century: tech stocks collapsed 80% to 90%, and gold kicked off a historic rally that brought it near $4,000 today. Naturally, his firm fired him… because Wall Street doesn't want you making real money; they want to collect fees on your wealth while it bleeds out.

Ed joined me to launch The Dollar Vigilante around 2010. Shortly after, we bumped into Bitcoin.

“Most Austrian economists back in 2011 were cynical or outright hostile toward Bitcoin because of Mises' Regression Theory—they thought money had to start as a physical commodity like gold. But once the market established a real exchange value, it proved that in the digital age, a scarce, peer-to-peer network with no intermediaries could perform the functions of money even better than precious metals.” — Ed Bugos

Ed was one of the very first formal financial analysts anywhere in the world to take a bullish stance on Bitcoin. Together, we’ve navigated every major cycle since.

Calling the Key Turning Points: From $3,500 to $125,000

When you look back at Ed’s track record alongside our team at The Crypto Vigilante (TCV), the call accuracy is unbelievable:

The 2017 Top & $3,000 Target: When Bitcoin hit $20,000 in late 2017, Ed turned bear and publicly called for a crash down to $3,000. People thought he was crazy—until Bitcoin bottomed right around $3,100.

The “Once-in-a-Lifetime” COVID Crash Bottom: In March 2020, as markets panicked and Bitcoin plummeted to around $3,500–$4,000, Ed was pounding the table in our member updates, calling it a once-in-a-lifetime buying opportunity before Bitcoin surged toward $66,000.

The “Tesla Moment” & 10x Run: Ed predicted that institutional adoption would trigger a massive squeeze beyond $20,000, calling the exact stair-step levels to $66,000 and the subsequent pullback to $33,000.

The FTX Bottom & $125K Expansion: During the 2022 FTX crash, Ed and Mr. A from TCV signaled the absolute bottom near $15,000. Bitcoin subsequently went on nearly an 8x run over $125,000.

So, Where Are We Heading Now?

Bitcoin is down roughly 50% from its recent highs, and many altcoins are beaten down by 80% to 90%.

As Ed pointed out during our chat, when an asset class has already suffered a massive correction, the downside risk becomes significantly smaller than the upside potential. While we might see a few more months of grinding or a final liquidity wash, we are fast approaching the window where life-changing entries are made.

If you wait until Bitcoin breaks out and hits the news again, you’re throwing away the biggest profit margins. The real money is made by getting in while the market is quiet.

In 2011, I recommended Dollar Vigilantes to buy Bitcoin at $3. Just after BTC reached a value of $1.00 for the first time ever, on February 9th, 2011. A few months later, in June, the price of one Bitcoin hit $10, then $30 on Mt. Gox and the rest is history. 

Over the past 15 years I've seen every prediction imaginable. Bitcoin was supposedly going to zero more times than I can count. Then, a few years later, those same people were telling everyone it was going to $1 million.

Neither extreme has ever been helpful.

One of the biggest reasons I've managed to navigate these markets successfully isn't because I claim to know exactly where every top or bottom is. It's because I've surrounded myself with people who have spent the last decade and a half doing one thing, every single day: studying Bitcoin's cycles.

That's why I wanted to kick off Crypto Week by introducing two people many of our subscribers already know well, but who have rarely appeared publicly – Mr. A and Mr. W, the lead analysts behind The Crypto Vigilante (TCV).

If you've ever wondered why our subscribers seem remarkably calm while everyone else is either euphoric or panicking, this interview explains why.

These two guys are true crypto OGs. They’ve been charting Bitcoin daily since 2011 and 2012. They were in the original Bitcoin Talk forums back when it was just a tiny group of cypherpunks. They’ve lived through every single top and bottom in crypto history: $260, $1,200, $20,000, $69,000, and $126,000.

And their calls? Absolutely mind-blowing.

I'll give you just one example. After the whole FTX disaster unfolded, everyone on Crypto Twitter was panicking, yelling that Bitcoin was going to zero. But Mr. A put out an internal call to our staff. He picked a precise date and told us, “I think Bitcoin bottoms right around $15,800.”

I saw that and immediately put in a buy order at that exact number. And that exact number turned out to be the absolute bottom of the entire cycle. I loaded the boat, and it made me a fortune.

Then, when Bitcoin was soaring past $120,000 and the mainstream hype was screaming that $200k was next, Mr. A and Mr. W put out a video soon after telling our subscribers: Now is the time to start selling.

Once again, they nailed the top. While retail traders got dumped on, TCV subscribers locked in massive generational profits and sat comfortably in cash and gold.

To this day, I still tell people about that call because it perfectly illustrates what separates genuine market analysis from noise. While everyone else was reacting emotionally to headlines, Mr. A was looking at probability, historical cycles and market structure.

As Mr. A put it during our conversation: “Every top is different, but every top rhymes”. 

That's a simple sentence, but it explains why experience matters. You can't learn Bitcoin's behaviour from a single cycle. You learn it by living through four or five of them.

One thing that impressed me during this cycle was how early TCV members began preparing for the downturn. While social media influencers were busy posting charts showing $200,000, $300,000 and even $1 million Bitcoin, Mr. A was telling subscribers something very different:

Start taking profits.

It wasn't because he suddenly became bearish on Bitcoin. It was because multiple indicators (price action, timing cycles and proprietary tools the team has developed over many years) all pointed to a high probability that the cycle was nearing completion.

Don’t miss this interview as we talk about why tops are almost always more difficult to call than bottoms, and the value of conviction and not changing your opinion every few days because Twitter has become emotional. We talk about Pirate Chain and Monero and the fact that Bitcoin doesn't exist in isolation.

We also talk about why now is a crucial time for Crypto Week. 

The cryptocurrency market is notorious for punishing the unprepared. When prices soar, retail investors get blinded by FOMO and buy the top. When prices collapse, panic takes over, causing them to sell at the worst possible time or miss out on life-changing entries.

Right now, the market is navigating a nine-month bear trend. Sentiment is shaky, and prediction noise on social media is at an all-time high. But behind the scenes, the veterans who have successfully navigated every single Bitcoin cycle since 2011 are preparing for their next major move.

That's exactly why we're running Crypto Week today… not after Bitcoin has doubled.

If you've spent previous cycles wishing you'd bought sooner… wishing you'd sold earlier… or wondering why some savvy people seemed to stay one step ahead…

This is exactly why The Crypto Vigilante exists! 

Because we want as many freedom-minded people as possible to get positioned properly before this upcoming bottom hits, we are kicking off Crypto Week with a massive discount:

For Crypto Week, we're offering 20% off an annual TCV membership, or 30% off when you pay with crypto. 

When you join, you’ll get multiple videos a week from Mr. A and Mr. W giving you exact price levels, cycle timing updates, altcoin analysis (including deep dives on Monero, Pirate Chain, and privacy tech), and trade setups so you never have to guess what the market is doing.

Plus, you also get full membership to the Dollar Vigilante, including access to our twice-monthly newsletter, jam packed with some pretty heavy stuff… the globalist agenda, banking resets, privacy, offshore sovereignty, and how to stay completely untraceable while the world slides into a totalitarian surveillance state.

All of that is insanely important. But at the end of the day, TDV was built on one simple premise: Helping you protect your wealth and make real capital while the old system crumbles.

And, when it comes to navigating the wildest, highest-returning asset class in human history… crypto… There is simply nobody better on planet Earth than the guys at The Crypto Vigilante.

If history continues to rhyme… as it has throughout Bitcoin's entire existence… The next great opportunity won't arrive when everyone is excited.

It will arrive when almost nobody believes it's there.

That's exactly why we're preparing now.

Don't rely on the Twitter algorithm or mainstream media manipulation to manage your life savings. Get the exact charts and cycle calls from the guys who have been right for 15 years straight.

Well, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is over and as I guessed (and hoped), Spain was victorious against Javier Milei’s VARgentina pets in the longest game of nothingness since the whole mass ritual broadCAST (spell casting) began. 

Staged, as it was, by one of the many arms of the satanic pedovore club… FIFA (Fodder Indoctrination for Frequency Activation).

I break down a lot of the codes in today’s video, like Masonic children's books that predict which player, wearing which number, will score the winning goal – and it doesn’t end there.  

Lamine Yamal, a 19-year-old player for Spain, just made his World Cup debut on July 19, 2026, wearing jersey number 19 during the match.

In esoteric numerology, 191919 is a direct veil for the mark of the beast (666). The number 1 signifies the Alpha – the initiation of a new world order phase – while the 9 serves as an inverted 6. Repeating this sequence three times encodes the occult signature directly into the broadcast to millions worldwide.

This exact ritualistic pattern was tested twenty years prior. Messi made his World Cup debut at 19, wearing jersey 19, before wearing the same number at Barcelona. Yamal followed Messi’s script step-by-step, revealing that their careers are not guided by talent alone, but by an overarching occult script.

There’s more. 

As I said in a previous video, in late 2007, Messi participated in a charity calendar campaign for UNICEF. The image captures the Argentine gently bathing a cheerful infant in a plastic tub. That baby was Yamal… and his family “won” the photoshoot in a local charity raffle. Right…

Messi was 20, while Yamal was just a six-month-old baby! (2026)

In the eyes of the satanic elite, this water ceremony was a dark, ritualistic initiation… a symbolic passing of the torch that bound Yamal to the same occult hierarchy that elevated Messi to an eight-time Ballon d'Or winner. From the 19 total goals scored by Argentina entering the final to the sacred geometry of the numbers 6, 9, and 181 (representing the eternal union with the dark realm), every pass, shirt number, and calendar date proves that the global stage is operated by the same ultimate puppet masters who control everything. 

Including the so-called “war” with Iran. 

If you still don’t get it, let me help you. Right now they’re blowing up the world’s energy supplies. The missile targets are almost exclusively bridges, ports and water and power plants. 

It is a script.

What we are seeing right now… the “supply chain glitches,” the fertilizer shortages, the mysterious power grid failures… isn't some clumsy accident of history. Think about it. The Strait of Hormuz is a choke point. Shipping lanes are being disrupted. 

The US just struck the Bid Boland gas refinery in Iran, you know, just Iran's largest gas processing facility and the massive gas hub for all of West Asia. Total coincidence, right? Meanwhile, the IRGC just announced two oil tankers tried transiting the Strait of Hormuz and detonating in an Iranian minefield.

Oh, and it’s not just the Middle East. Ukraine dropped drone strikes on three Russian oil facilities in a single night (including Lukoil and Rosneft depots), and Reuters is reporting a Rothschild Exxon-chartered tanker got hit by drones in the Black Sea.

The Reality Check: I told you months ago this energy crunch was coming. Yeah, okay, maybe I was off by a couple of weeks back in April because I underestimated how much emergency oil reserve propaganda the cartel could pump into the market. But guess what? The reserves are empty. US crude oil only has 43 days of supply left… the lowest inventory in 45 years.

I’ve been heavily leveraged on oil since $72, and now it’s sitting at $90. While everyone else panics at the pump, subscribers to the Dollar Vigilante newsletter are already riding the wave. We wrote all about this strategy in the July Dispatch. You can keep playing NPC games, or you can go to DollarVigilante.com/freetrial to join the only newsletter of its kind in the world (or just hit DollarVigilante.com/subscribe) and get a clue before it’s too late.

It’s not just commodities. The crypto four-year Bitcoin cycle is coming up on another massive shift. We’ve nailed the absolute tops and bottoms of every single cycle since 2011. Last year, The Crypto Vigilante told everyone to sell well over $100k Bitcoin, and we’re fast approaching the next bottom. I’m sitting down next week with Mr. A, Mr. W, Rafael, and Mr. X from TCV to map out our exact re-entry strategy.

Why do we do all this? As the industrial West teeters on the edge of an engineered energy and food crisis, the only true insurance policy is your own psychological and physical independence.

It’s perfectly orchestrated. Trump’s Trojan Horse hides full frontal fascism in broad daylight, and most people are too mesmerized by their screens to notice that when the energy stops, the food stops. And when the food stops, the masses start panicking.

That is when they step in with the “solution.”

If you think ‘wild fire’ toxins and explosive diarrhea are unpleasant, wait until you have to line-up for your Soylent Green sludge rations manufactured by Kill Gates and his cronies. They’ll tell you it’s for the greater good. In exchange for this synthetic slurry, you’ll just need to sign over your autonomy. Soon,  your ability to buy a loaf of bread will be tied to your “social credit score,” your vaccination status, and your willingness to obey the hive mind. 

If you want actual hope instead of doom-scrolling, look at what’s happening beyond the physical illusion:

Christof Melchizedek and his group have been over in England opening up ancient energy vaults (after opening ones in Egypt and New Zealand). Right after they opened the latest vault? Boom! A massive crop circle appears nearby, the first in that area in 10 to 20 years. Coincidence? Sure… They opened another one, and another crop circle popped up. You can track this Crystic energy work over at DollarVigilante.com/grailkeepers.

Christof might literally be dismantling the entire beast system over the next few years, but you actually have to do the work. As I talked about with Jason Christoff recently, step one is admitting you’re under heavy state and media mind control. Step two is deprogramming through meditation, prayer, and physical wellness. That's how you unlock the symbols and messages needed to navigate the coming collapse.

If you want to surround yourself with real freedom lovers instead of statists, you need to get yourself to Europe this summer.

We’re heading to Apatin, Serbia (right on the border of the sovereign nation of Liberland) for Liberpulco 2026 from August 13th–15th. It’s the biggest libertarian gathering in Europe and we are forming a new sovereign country in Europe that you can be part of right now. 

Don't wait until the power grid goes down or your central bank digital currency gets frozen. Wake up, do the inner work, and stack your portfolio accordingly.

Or don't, and enjoy the matrix!

If you’ve been following my work at The Dollar Vigilante for the last two decades, you know I’ve always called unawakened statists “mind-controlled slaves”. For years, I wondered why you couldn't just present people with basic logic, show them how the Federal Reserve is robbing them blind, and watch them wake up.

Turns out, you can’t logic someone out of a program they don't even know is running.

I recently had an incredible conversation with Jason Christoff, the mastermind behind the documentary Planet Mind Control. Jason is coming in from Latvia to speak at Liberpulco in Serbia this August (August 13–15), and this interview completely crystallized how the ruling class uses everyday chemicals, media, and tribal fear to keep the human herd compliant.

We all know about the big, obvious traps. Alcohol keeps the human cattle sluggish, depressed, and low-vibration. Taxes and fiat inflation keep you financially crippled. But the most insidious weapon in their everyday arsenal is something almost everyone drinks without a second thought: Caffeine.

Jason dropped a historical bombshell that most people have no idea about: Back in 1984, when Starbucks was just a tiny operation with six shops, it was funded by Kill Gates Jr. and William Gates Sr. Today, Starbucks has over 40,000 locations worldwide.

Why would the Gates family (arch-architects of globalist control) be so deeply invested in a coffee distribution network?

When you consume caffeine, your body treats it as an alkaloid poison, triggering a subtle, 5% fight-or-flight response. That micro-state of panic does two things:

As Jason put it: “Caffeine makes the slavery feel groovy.”

Alcohol puts the slave down, meaning less “tax milk” for the state. Caffeinated human cattle, on the other hand, operate at a 1.5x to 2x productivity multiplier. It keeps you hyper-focused on cranking through 10 hours of useless busywork for a system you hate, all while keeping your brain too disassociated to ask why you're doing it.

I actually dropped coffee completely after watching his film just to test it out. And if you are going to use coffee, do what I do: stick to coffee enemas. It cleans out your liver without running that fight-or-flight script through your nervous system.

Mind control isn't just chemical; it's cultural, and it’s always deeply financial. Take a look at what happened in the 1990s. While Bill Clinton’s network was running cocaine out of Little Rock, Arkansas (check out The Clinton Chronicles if you haven't), that exact same cartel energy was paired with the weaponization of mainstream rap music.

Weaponized gangster rap was pushed heavily into inner cities to glorify violence and self-destruction.

Flooded into the exact same communities to trigger chemical dissociation.

Clinton pushed through the “Three Strikes” law to guarantee massive prison sentences.

Clinton and his inner circle invested heavily in private, for-profit prisons.

They created the trap, programmed the population to walk straight into it, locked them up, and then billed the taxpayers for running the prisons. Every layer of the matrix is designed to extract wealth and energy from human chaos.

When you try to tell a mind-controlled person that they're in a cult, they don't analyze your facts… their subconscious panics because you are threatening their status inside the herd. They run back to the safety of the state because leaving the tribe is the scariest thing a herd animal can do.

If you want to unhook yourself and help others do the same, here is the playbook:

Join Us at Liberpulco 2026!

If you're tired of living in the main-stage matrix and want to be around people who actually value real freedom, come hang out with us in Apatin, Serbia from August 13–15, 2026. We've got an absolute dream team of speakers lined up, including:

Jason Christoff (Mind Control & Self-Sabotage)

Whenever I get to catch up with like-minded folks who see the writing on the wall, it's a good day, even if the topic at hand is the slow-motion trainwreck of the global financial system… Like a great sit-down with Bad Billy Painter from the Bearded Patriots at the Red Pill Expo in Las Vegas. Billy and I covered a lot of ground, from the ongoing dollar collapse to off-grid survival, broken school systems, suppressed technology, and how to actually break free from the state.

The Imminent Dollar Collapse (And Why This Time Is Different)

A lot of people look at the stock market bouncing around and think things are fine. They’re missing the bigger picture. The US dollar isn't just fluctuating; it’s in a state of continuous, permanent collapse. 

Billy asked me if we’re looking at something like the 1929 stock market crash. My answer? This one will be significantly bigger.

When the fiat house of cards finally comes down, relying on government backstops or paper wealth will leave people stranded. That’s why we’ve been pounding the table on real assets:

The state doesn't want independent people. They want you trapped in smart cities, tied to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and digital IDs, completely reliant on government hand-outs. Reclaiming basic life skills is a direct act of resistance.

From Apple II Clones to Dystopian Tech

We got onto the topic of technology and generations. I was born in 1970, which makes me a Gen Xer. Back in 1981, when I was 11 years old, I fell in love with computers. I actually bought an Apple II Plus clone from Vietnam and soldered the components together myself.

Back then, I envisioned a future where technology would liberate us… where you could order food, connect instantly, and access all human knowledge. Fast forward to today: between invasive AI, data centers, social media algorithms, and kids glued to iPads with destroyed attention spans, the dream has turned into a bit of a dystopian nightmare.

I love modern conveniences (I’m not trying to give up air conditioning) but looking at how society is being hooked on false digital realities makes you appreciate a simpler, more grounded lifestyle away from the madness.

Suppressed Tech & The Real Legacy of Nikola Tesla

During our chat, Billy mentioned his foster son who suffers from severe epilepsy, and we got to talking about alternative health tech, specifically Tesla frequency technology.

Nikola Tesla envisioned a world powered wirelessly through the ether… clean, abundant energy without massive batteries or miles of destructive infrastructure. What we have today, including Elon Musk’s version of Tesla, is almost an inversion of what Tesla originally intended.

While the establishment tries to force people toward lab-grown food, wind farms, and centralized energy, real alternative technologies and suppressed protocols are finally lifting the veil. People are rediscovering ways to heal and live outside the industrial-medical complex.

The Communist Trajectory & How to Opt Out

It’s no secret that the United States has adopted core tenets of the Communist Manifesto – from a central bank (the Federal Reserve) to a progressive income tax. The system is designed to create complete state dependency, disarm the populace, and tax away wealth.

The good news? You can simply step away from their game.

We are still drifting along in this “short-term pain for long-term gain” narrative arc. 

Remember when they told us it would just be a few days, maybe a few weeks? Well, we’re cruising past month five now, and the script is getting so loud it’s a miracle anyone is still falling for it.

Just look at the timing. Donald Trump goes on television declaring that the US is officially taking over the Strait of Hormuz – crowning himself the “guardian of the strait.” Literally minutes later, breaking footage drops of the bulk carrier Lonnie splitting in two and sinking after a sudden hull fracture. You can't make this stuff up; it plays out like pure, unadulterated 3D video game programming.

Immediately, right on cue, the media echo chamber lights up. Mainstream narrative enforcers start blasting out posts about how Trump has supposedly “unleashed the full might of the US military on Iran,” claiming a complete naval blockade and massive airstrikes. They post dramatic updates about the US Navy obliterating an “Iranian vessel advancing toward them.” Except, if you actually look at the footage, it’s clearly a civilian cargo ship or an oil tanker. Then, twenty minutes later, the flip side of the script kicks in: “Breaking: First ship of the night defies orders; Iranian military blows up a vessel in the Strait.”

Are you starting to get it yet? Both sides are blowing up ships in the exact same bottleneck, ensuring absolutely nothing gets through. It’s the systematic execution of Agenda 2030 right in front of your face. They are choking global supply lines, shelling fuel tanks in Jebel Ali port, and targeting water desalination plants in Kuwait.

While the theater plays out, the financial handlers are cleaning up. I began buying leveraged oil again when it was sitting around $72; by the time I checked the charts today, it was already flying around $87. We broke down this exact strategy in the July issue of The Dollar Vigilante newsletter, which you can check out if you’re trying to build capital while they collapse the board.

But the real insider game is happening at the top. It has now been reported that Trump Media is planning to sell faster, millisecond-level access to Truth Social posts starting August 1st. Think about the absolute insanity of this: high-frequency trading firms and hedge funds will literally pay millions to get a fraction-of-a-second head start on a post. This comes right on the heels of reports that insider networks cleared an estimated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by trading directly on leaked negotiation data. They can tank or spike global oil prices with a single post, buy the dip, and sell it back to the public a millisecond later before the rest of the world even hits refresh.

When the media asks Trump if he's worried about these operations turning a profit, he openly brags about it on camera: “The defense companies are doing great. It’s jobs. It’s all jobs.” He doesn’t care, and his handlers don’t care. They are making billions off the volatility while using the conflict as a convenient cover to induce regional crises by striking food infrastructure and medical centers.

How am I one of the only people who sees this? Sometimes I walk out here in nature with my dogs, looking at the dragonflies, and I genuinely wonder if there is anyone else actually out there, or if this is just my own personal Truman Show.

People remain completely brainwashed by the illusion of political choice. They line up by the millions to vote, totally oblivious to basic mathematics… your single vote among 100 million does not alter the code of the simulation. It’s all staged.

Case in point: look at the massive “bombshell” announcement Trump just delivered from the Oval Office. The online hype squads were screaming about a historic address, but what was it? A half-hour speech about China allegedly acquiring 220 million US voter files back during the 2020 cycle. Who cares? All of that data is already completely owned and parsed by Palantir, the CIA, and international intelligence agencies anyway. It is a textbook redirection tactic to keep people from noticing that the US military infrastructure in the Middle East is being intentionally dismantled. US bases in Qatar and Jordan are being leveled by missile strikes because the controlled demolition of the American Empire is required to usher in the new technocracy.

If you want to know who actually holds the leash, don't look at the teleprompter, look at the behavior. Every single president since JFK has lined up to pay homage at the Western Wall. The system gatekeepers love to talk about putting “America First” and ending foreign aid, yet when the bills hit the floor, almost every single politician lines up to sign away billions of taxpayer dollars.

When independent voices like Thomas Massie try to vote against sending domestic capital overseas, the entire political machine moves heaven and earth to replace them. And, the moment an establishment fixture like Lindsey Graham passes away, do they hold a real election? Of course not. They immediately swear his sister into office, who promptly joins the rest of the Senate to vote in favor of integrating the US military command directly with foreign defense forces. Even the figures who built their entire brands on “ending the Fed” or questioning the state eventually fall right back into line, posing for the exact same photo-ops.

It is a monolithic system. They build the surveillance state, fund the tracking cameras, manipulate the energy markets, and use media programming to keep the populace cheering for their own economic lockdown. The only way through the next few years is to stop giving your energy to the television, focus entirely on your physical health, get your capital into sovereign assets outside their banking grid, and enjoy the walk.

Meanwhile, the bread and circuses continue right on schedule… and surprise, surprise, Argentina won their match just like I said they would. Let’s be real, the entire tournament plays out like a poorly coded simulation. We’re supposed to believe it’s all organic, but when you look at the field, the script is glaring. Any time an opposing team gets a fingernail offside against Argentina, the goals get wiped off the board instantly. Just ask Iran. But when Argentina’s game-winning goal against England is clearly offside? Absolute silence from the broadcasting booth. The ref doesn’t even bother to check the VAR, and it receives zero mention on your daily television programming, because that’s just the way it goes.

Everyone in Israhell seemed absolutely thrilled about it. Why are so many Israelis waving the Argentinian flag this World Cup? Because now we’re looking at Argentina versus Spain for the finals… essentially an Israel versus Palestine proxy match played out in the stadium.

If you still think this reality isn't pre-programmed, look at the premier narrative arc they’ve been cooking up for the final on Sunday in New York City. Supposedly, 19 years ago, some random family in Spain won a raffle. The grand prize? They got to take photos of their newborn baby being bathed by none other than a young Lionel Messi. Think about the logistics of that for a second. What kind of setup is that?

Fast forward to today: that exact same baby grows up to become Lamine Yamal – Spain’s top prodigy, heralded by the media as “the next Messi.” Now, they just happen to be facing each other in the World Cup Finals. The odds of a raffle baby growing up to face the exact same superstar in a global championship game nearly two decades later are astronomical. To make it even more obvious, Adidas dropped a promo image featuring the “goat” and the “kid” two years ahead of schedule. If you know what the goat represents in occult symbolism, you know exactly what time it is. It’s all giving major industry vibes, much like those old photos of Justin Bieber with a baby. The elite love their symbols, their rituals, and their pre-planned narratives.

Speaking of the global apparatus, let’s talk about where people are burning their money trying to predict these scripted events. A lot of people have been flocking to Polymarket lately because it seemingly blew up out of nowhere. Whenever a platform experiences that kind of meteoric rise, it’s because the system is pushing it. If you look into the actual history of the platform, the puzzle pieces click together perfectly.

Polymarket is essentially a CIA/Mossad psyop. If you’ve read the work of Whitney Webb and Mark Goodwin, you know the history. This isn't some organic betting site; it's the spiritual successor to the DARPA Policy Analysis Market (PAM) project from 2003. That project, led by Admiral John Poindexter, was designed to create a “market” for political developments and terror attacks. It’s social engineering masquerading as a casino.

The connections are all there if you bother to look and I lay out how the puzzle fits together in today’s video – from the founder, Shane Coplan, who links back to Robin Hanson, the DARPA architect, to Token Union's close partnership and integration with Bancorp, a decentralized finance protocol enabling on chain trading and liquidity created by Guy and Galia Bernardzi, the nephew and niece of none other than longtime and current Israeli Prime Murderer Benjamin Netanyahu. 

You knew that this is where the story was eventually going to end up. Additionally, Galia Benazi, immediately prior to creating Bancorp, had been a partner at Peter Thiel's Founders Club, where she helped lead the firm's investments in Israel. And get this next part. Sitting right next to Netanyahu's nephew and niece on Copeland's advisory board was a man named Lou Kerner, a prominent venture capitalist heavily embedded in the Israeli tech ecosystem. A startup scene that former Mossad Directors have openly stated is heavily populated by intelligence veterans running front companies for state operations. 

Just a string of coincidences, right? 

Right. 

Finally, you follow the money to Peter Thiel. Thiel isn't just a venture capitalist; he's a primary architect of the surveillance state. Through Palantir, Thiel has built a digital panopticon. Every “data breach” you hear about on the news (like the theft of voter files) is a distraction. That data is already owned and processed by Palantir, the CIA, and Mossad. They don't need to steal your data; they already have the keys to your digital soul… and your body.

Here's another new twist: most of Canada is on fire again, which is likely the work of the warfare apparatus, because that's usually how it goes. It is creating brutal air quality throughout Canada and into the northeastern US, including the New York and New Jersey areas where the final match will be played on Sunday. Right now, you can barely see ten feet ahead of you in New York City.

Interestingly, an independent test of the air revealed a whole bunch of toxins. There are things you would expect from a fire, but also things you might not expect at all, like lead and graphene oxide. Remember what I said about them potentially doing something at this World Cup? I don't know if this is it, but are they planning to use the hazy cover to expose everyone at the game to these compounds as part of a ritual?

It’s clearly making people sick. Even mainstream television programming has noted a sudden spike in overnight respiratory and GI distress outbreaks corresponding with the heavy wildfire smoke.

At the same time, I've heard a ton of people talking about peptides recently. It made me wonder who actually manufactures these compounds, because I refuse to take anything from big pharma giants like Pfizer or AstraZeneca. Apparently, these massive conglomerates are the ones producing a large portion of the market's peptides. And, the daddy of peptides of course… Kill Gates. 

This corporate crossover shouldn't be surprising. Look back at the 2020 cycle when everyone was excited that Trump was going to bring in RFK Jr. to hold figures accountable. Instead, the political fixtures all still attend the same circles. Trump even nominated a new CDC director, Erica Schwartz, who has openly supported mRNA platforms and corporate mandates in her past work. If you pay attention to the details, the symbolism worn by these establishment figures tells you everything you need to know about their allegiance to control and technology.

A Strategy for Self-Reliance

Fortunately, you can protect yourself from these environmental and systemic pressures by focusing on tangible, self-reliant protocols:

TZLA plasma energy healing: Clean your blood from the nanotech clotting.

Clean Sourcing: Transition away from packaged goods and massive supermarket chains. Find local farmers, buy whole foods, and grow whatever you can on your own land.

Deep Detoxification: Utilizing regular infrared saunas is an efficient way to force heavy metals and environmental toxins out through sweat.

Coffee Enemas and Liver Support: Keep your body's natural filtration systems running optimally with clean, organic protocols to help flush out daily environmental stressors.

Critical Evaluation: Be incredibly careful with trendy health fads, ensuring you know exactly where your supplements are manufactured and sourced.

The global landscape is shifting rapidly, and the narratives on television are only going to get stranger as the year winds down. The best defense is maintaining a self-reliant lifestyle, keeping your body operating at peak performance, and recognizing the theater for exactly what it is.

If you’ve been following my journey for a while, you know I’ve spent the better part of my life looking for cracks in the global matrix… places where true freedom isn’t just a talking point, but a lived reality.

For years, that search took me to places like Anarchapulco. But recently, my compass has been pointing firmly toward a tiny, seven-square-kilometer patch of land nestled along the Danube River.

I’m talking about Liberland.

I recently caught up with my good friend and the President of Liberland, Vit Jedlicka. We hadn’t done a proper catch-up in what felt like ages, and let me tell you, what is happening on the ground right now is nothing short of historic. If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to literally build a new country from scratch, strap in.

The Geopolitics of a Stateless Micro-Nation

For those who don't know, Liberland sits on unclaimed land between Croatia and Serbia. For the first eight years of its existence, getting in and out was a logistical nightmare. But in 2023, the borders cracked open.

Today, we have settlers physically living on the land, driving around in a fleet of dedicated settlement cars, and building everything from eco-friendly houses to custom treehouses.

And, the political tides are shifting in our favor. Croatia is transitioning its border security over to Frontex (the EU's border agency). What does that mean for us? It means the local political games are ending. While the Croatian land route might tighten up, we are actively preparing to open a permanent international border crossing on the Danube via Serbia.

Once that river route is fully open, Liberland goes from an ambitious enclave to a fully accessible, global hub of liberty.

Tokenizing Sovereignty: The Meritocracy

We aren't just building houses; we are rewriting the rules of human organization.

With over 817,000 citizenship applications, Liberland is quickly becoming a massive hub of voluntarism. But we aren’t a traditional democracy. We are a meritocracy built entirely on the blockchain.

This system runs on Merits. If you contribute to the state, you gain merits. If you hold merits, you have a direct say in the direction of the country. We are actively migrating our entire governance architecture over to Ethereum, with the backing of major crypto pioneers like Vitalik Buterin and our Prime Minister, Justin Sun.

This isn't a meme coin. We are literally tokenizing sovereignty.

Liberpulco & The Floating Man 2026: The Ultimate Freedom Pilgrimage

If you want to experience this energy firsthand, there is no better time than right now. From August 13th to 15th, we are hosting Liberpulco 2026 in Apatin, Serbia, immediately followed by the Floating Man Festival from the 17th to the 23rd.

Think of it as 10 full days of liberty, cutting-edge ideas, and incredible community.

Why This Year is Different: Frozen Sound & Sacred Geometry

Vit shared something with me that absolutely blew my mind. He is designing the physical architecture of Liberland’s new resort at the Ark around the 11 dimensions of existence and cymatics.

They are bringing in 3D concrete printers to construct 11 massive domes, each tuned to a specific vibrational frequency. Every light, every structure, and every corridor will represent a physical visualization of sound. It’s essentially a 3D museum of resonance… a modern, scientific cathedral designed for human thriving rather than cold, communist-style concrete blocks.

Healing and Longevity at the Ark

We are also leaning heavily into revolutionary wellness technologies. This year at the festival site, we’ll have:

How to Join Us (And How to Become a Citizen)

We have put together some incredible packages for the event this year over at liberpulco.com, from a VIP Plus package for those wanting a luxury, high-networking experience and the VIP Plus Signature package for those ready to plant a flag and claim their sovereignty to the VIP Plus Merit Package which includes citizenship, a passport and the merits required to instantly become a stakeholder in the country! 

A Quick Heads-Up: The citizenship and merit packages are extremely limited (there are only 5 Signature spots available) and they are priced significantly lower than the standard $10,000 citizenship contribution. If you want in, don’t wait.

Whether you come to network with the brightest minds in the liberty movement, experience the cymatic architecture, or check out your potential future home, this is going to be our most legendary gathering yet.

See you on the Danube!

I’ve said it all along. Remember, as we go forward, a lot of the most evil people in the world will all start getting sick, start acting weird, and even dying. Well, there have been a couple of instances even just since my last video.

While the public is distracted by the headlines, the players behind the curtain are being rotated. In this game, politicians aren't leaders; they are disposable assets. When a tool is no longer useful, or when it becomes a liability, it gets discarded.

Take Mitch McConnell.

The official line is that he’s in the hospital. But let’s look at the “proof of life” photo they rushed out. It’s a joke. If you zoom in on the newspaper, it’s all AI-generated squiggles. The text doesn't exist. The newspaper doesn't exist. He’s sitting in a hospital bed in jeans, clicking a mouse. It’s a low-effort deepfake for a man who has been “glitching out” in public for years.

McConnell was a primary architect for the Rothschild Israel agenda… moving the embassy, funding security assistance, crushing BDS. But once the phase of the plan shifted, he became a relic.

Then we have Lindsey Graham.

The news hits: Graham has passed away after a “brief and sudden illness” at 71. Really? A man who just flew twenty-plus hours to Ukraine to tour a drone factory, only to fly back and drop dead in his bed twelve hours later?

It doesn't add up because it's not supposed to. Graham was in Kyiv while Russian missiles were raining down on military targets. Now, whether he got bombed and blown up (which would be karma) or, as some are saying, there were bombs nearby and he had a heart attack (which is probably also from the COVID lethal injections), the story that he took a train in the middle of the night 12 hours after being at that drone factory, flew to an airport, flew back to the District of Criminals, got in his bed, and died is, like most of their stories, probably not true. The great part is that it does appear Lindsey Graham has been eliminated, and quite possibly in the same week that Mitch McConnell was eliminated. What a shame.

So, it’s been quite an incredible week. Two of the bigger conmen in CONgress who supported Israel both getting wiped out this week… probably. When the script changes, the actors are replaced. These men weren't leaders of a republic; they were middle-managers for a globalist cult, and they've been wiped off the board to make room for the next set of puppets.

Of course, the game continues. And, we are officially in mid-July, which means we’ve cruised past the four-and-a-half-month mark of the Strait of Hormuz being functionally locked down.

Remember back in week two when all the mainstream finance blue-checks were comforting themselves? “Oh, Jeff, don't be dramatic. They say it's just a temporary bottleneck. A little short-term pain for long-term gain!”

Well, that “short-term pain” has been paying rent in our reality for nearly five months now. And the funniest part? The real pain hasn’t even registered on your local gas pump yet. But it’s baked so deep into the cake the crust is turning to ash.

Act I: The Clown Show in the Situation Room

Let’s check in on our favorite establishment mouthpiece, Wolf Blitzer, to see what kind of scripted theater they’re running today.

“Breaking news, Jeff. Donald Trump is holding a press conference at the White House to address the ongoing Iranian talks.”

Cue the orange man himself:

“Their leaders are gone. They had leaders; they're gone. And they had another set of leaders; they're gone… And you know what? I may be gone too, because I'm their number one target. We're not playing around this time.”

You literally cannot write comedy this good. These people are cartoon characters. Trump, just like Biden, is losing his grip on reality a little more every single day. I’ve been telling you for years: watch these elites. Under immense stress, they either get sick, start acting completely bizarre, or just exit the stage entirely. This week has been a spectacular showcase of the brain rot.

Case in point: Trump actively claiming we were attacked by the “Islamic Republic of Japan.” You cannot make this up!

Right on cue, here comes Wolf again with a fresh script:

“Just in… Israel tells the US it has new intelligence indicating Iran is planning a new assassination attempt against President Trump.”

How convenient. Trump miraculously dodges everything, and the warnings always come from the one state actor that actually benefits from keeping the war machine lubed up. If anyone is pulling the strings on these attempts, I'll let you guess who has the motive and the access.

Meanwhile, they’ve played the “we're so close to a peace deal” card at least a hundred times. Trump’s daily routine is literally:

Spoiler alert: There is no deal. There was never going to be a deal.

Act II: Problem-Reaction-Solution (The Hegelian Dialectic)

As I said above, the shutdown is baked into the cake. By controlling the flow of oil and manipulating the prices, the Puppet Masters can trigger a global energy crisis at the exact moment they need the population to be desperate enough to accept the “solution.”

This is the classic dialectic: Problem-Reaction-Solution.

Step 1: Create the Problem (A managed energy collapse, a false flag attack, a sudden vacancy in Congressional leadership).

Step 2: Wait for the Reaction (Panic, inflation, fear of war, economic instability).

Step 3: Offer the Solution (Centralized digital currency, smart-grid energy rationing, and a global governance structure that “saves” us from the chaos they created).

Act III: The Coming September Bedlam

I’ll admit where I was off: I thought the hammer would have dropped by now. I underestimated just how much emergency oil supply the empire had stashed away to keep the illusion running. 

But, those reserves are practically bone-dry now. My timeline was slightly off, but the destination remains exactly the same. 

Let’s look at the actual math they can't hide:

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is now sitting a measly 19 million barrels away from its absolute minimum operating level. There is no buffer left.

We have officially breached the operational stress level of 7.6 billion barrels globally. The absolute floor (where pipelines physically stop functioning) is 6.8 billion barrels. At the current burn rate, we hit that floor in September.

Which works out perfectly for me. I’m heading to Serbia for Liberpulco in August, and I’ll be back in Mexico just in time to watch the Mad Max-style civil unrest unfold in the West from a safe distance.

In the meantime, I've actually been making money on oil again after getting wiped out a couple of times on some of my trades because I didn't listen to our analysts, including Ed Bugos of the Dollar Vigilante, who warned me the charts didn't look good. But I'm now listening to them. I said, “I'm not going to buy until you guys tell me the chart looks good to buy.” Ed actually told me that when Brent crude oil was around $72 a couple of weeks ago. As you can see, it has now risen as of today to $82. I posted this in the Vigilante Insiders Club: my trade from 72 to 78 made 86%. It has since gone up another $4, where I made another 50%. So, I'm up about 130% in the last couple of weeks.

That's been good on 10x leveraged long oil, which, by the way, I do at a place called Hyperliquid. I'll put the URL on the screen with my code on it: app.hyperliquid.xyz/join/TDB. If you want to trade there, you can use my code and you'll actually get some discounts on your trading fees.

I should also mention that tomorrow, by the time you see this, the July issue of the Dollar Vigilante will be coming out, and I'll be talking a lot more about this. So, if you want to get access to that… we're still at the beginning here. 

I still stand by my word and what I said: I expect oil to go to at least $150 a barrel, and I think it still will. It's only at about 80 right now, but you might want to get our newsletter where I talk a lot about it, what I'm doing, how I'm doing it, and how to be careful doing it. Go to dollarvigilante.com/subscribe… I highly recommend it.

Ed talks a lot about this stuff, too. He's my partner and senior analyst at the Dollar Vigilante. We've been doing this for 16 years. We picked Bitcoin at $3 in 2011 and Ethereum at $2 in 2016. We've also been huge on gold and silver; that's a big part of the portfolio, which has done incredibly well in the last year. It's down a bit now, and it might go a little bit lower, but you should subscribe to our newsletter so you know. Even where it's at right now, I was buying most of my gold around $1,000, and Ed was buying most of his around $200… that was like 20 years ago. But that's been a big part of our portfolio, and it has done incredibly well. I think also the gold and silver mining stocks are going to do incredibly well, and we have those in the newsletter.

Anyway, you should get all of that at dollarvigilante.com/freetrial for two weeks. Most people are going to get wiped out in the next few months, and some people are going to make a lot. I expect we're going to do that because where do you hear other people talk about this? Nowhere. I haven't seen anything. Zero. It's really weird. A lot of the stuff we have in the Dollar Vigilante newsletter is so important for people, and there's really no one else doing anything close to it. It's so weird. 

You'd think there might be some other people, but really, hardly anyone knows this stuff. It's incredible.

If you had told me in the late 1990s that I’d be standing on a stage at G. Edward Griffin’s Red Pill Expo talking about trauma, consciousness, and energy, I would have laughed you out of the room. 

Back then, I was a total “normie” embedded deep inside the financial system, running a massive stock marketing firm with a $240 million market cap. We were on track to go public on the NASDAQ.

Then, September 11th happened.

Almost overnight, the world changed, and my business reality shattered. The calls from investment bankers like Lehman Brothers completely stopped. Within weeks, my board told me we had to declare bankruptcy. We went from a potential billion-dollar company to nothing.

While I tried to put on a brave face, the weight of the collapse hit me hard, and I turned to alcohol to numb the pain. My business partner took it even worse… he survived a severe suicide attempt that left him broken physically and emotionally. Months later, he hobbled up to my apartment door on crutches, handed me a book without saying a single word, and left.

That book was The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin.

Reading that book was my first major awakening. A lot of people get deeply depressed when they first look into how the central banking system works, but I felt inspired. I realized I had just received a more profound education on the global monetary system from a single book than most people get from four years of standard university economics.

I eventually salvaged and sold what was left of my tech company, bought a catamaran with zero prior sailing experience, and set off to see the world. Exactly one year to the day after buying it, I survived a massive shipwreck off the coast of El Salvador. Washing ashore with nothing but my passport and credit cards gave me a profound sense of material detachment. For years, I traveled completely spontaneously, chasing freedom.

By 2006, as early video platforms emerged, I hit my second major milestone: watching the documentary 9/11: Loose Change. The pieces began connecting back to what I always felt as a child… that something was fundamentally upside-down with the institutional systems around us. This path led me to launch The Dollar Vigilante, start the Anarchast podcast, and co-found Anarchapulco to bring together people who value personal liberty.

By 2015, I noticed a dark pattern. A lot of us in the liberty movement were running on pure rage. We would get together, drink heavily, look at PowerPoint slides about how corrupt the system was, and get angry.

I eventually realized that my anger at the system was a way to avoid dealing with intense, unhealed childhood traumas. I was destroying my health, my peace, and deeply impacting my family. I had to make a choice: fix myself or lose everything.

I stopped looking outward at the enemies “out there” and started looking inward using intense personal work, meditation, and traditional plant medicines like Ayahuasca and Iboga. Iboga, in particular, forces you into a deep internal space where you cannot run from your past. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it allowed me to face and clear generations of personal and family trauma.

Through this journey, my perspective on activism shifted completely. I used to think that to fix the world, we had to dismantle the governments and smash the central banks.

The reality is simpler: The external world is a projection of what is happening inside us.

Think of this reality like a complex 3D video game. Part of the game is leveling up enough to realize you are playing it. When you focus entirely on fighting the external system, you feed it your energy. But when you resolve your internal traumas, your external experience changes automatically.

Almost everyone carries unresolved traumas from youth… moments where our conscious mind buried a painful memory to protect us. People use all kinds of addictions (drinking, overeating, distraction) to numb those buried feelings. But until you look at them, nothing outside of you will truly change for the better. You cannot transform the “game” until you change the character you are playing.

To change your internal state, you have to start with the physical body… your temple. The modern environment is filled with things that drain our vitality: poor food quality, environmental toxins, and constant electromagnetic stress.

When your body is toxic, your mind operates at a lower gear, making it easier to fall into negative habits. My approach to turning this around focuses on foundational wellness:

You cannot force the people around you to wake up or change. When I was angry and drinking, trying to convince people of my worldview only pushed them away or triggered defensive reactions.

The moment I stopped trying to fix everyone else and focused strictly on my own health, clarity, and happiness, everything shifted. My wife and children saw the practical results – waking up early, boundless energy, genuine peace – and naturally chose to follow that path themselves.

The old systems derive power from a population that is tired, stressed, and divided. When individuals take responsibility for their own healing, reclaim their health, and step outside of fear, that old framework naturally loses its grip. Be the change you want to see.

Moving Forward: Community and Liberty in 2026

The desire for freedom and community is growing globally. For those looking to connect with like-minded individuals focused on building parallel systems and living freely, several initiatives are taking shape this summer:
