    #159 - Matt Goodwin - The Radicalised & Disconnected Elite
    Mar 23 2026

    Are we witnessing the managed decay of Western democracy, or a civilisational shift that we can still reverse?

    I sit down with academic and author Matt Goodwin and discuss the survival of the West. Matt warns that unprecedented demographic transformation and a radicalised, disconnected elite are fundamentally dismantling our national identity.

    We also discuss institutional rot, the effectiveness of Reform UK, the danger of letting old political insiders hijack the populist uprising, and whether taking a "sledgehammer to the state" is the only way out.

    In this episode:

    • The Institutional Rot: Why the legacy political parties have sold the country down the river and deserve to collapse.

    • The Demographic Shock: The sheer speed and scale of cultural transformation that the public is not prepared for.

    • The Economic Ultimatum: Why state expansion and wealth extraction are the ultimate threats to our survival.

    • The Purity Spiral: Does putting political "amateurs" in power save the system, or plunge it into the abyss?

    • The Disillusioned Voter: Why millions have completely opted out of the democratic process.

    #158 - Simon Dixon - Why the World Feels Chaotic (And Who Profits)
    Mar 19 2026
    Are we witnessing the organic collapse of the Western world, or is the current global chaos a highly engineered script? Simon Dixon returns to map out the hidden architecture of global power. He breaks down how the Financial, Military, and Technical Industrial Complexes are actively managing a transition to a multipolar world. From the "transitional theater" of the Middle East to the weaponization of global debt, Simon explains how elites are using chaos to asset-strip the West and consolidate their wealth in a K-shaped economy. We also discuss the pivot to the real pandemic: the profound psychological trauma and existential dread infecting modern society. We discuss our own mid-life reckonings, the horrifying reality of an AI-driven digital control grid, and the ultimate rebellion against the system. In this episode, we cover: The Theater of War: Why current geopolitical conflicts are a scripted reallocation of resources, not unpredictable chaos.The Power Triad: How the FIC, MIC, and TIC control governments, global capital flows, and the media narrative.The Epstein Leverage: Why the true rulers of the world aren't in the files, but control who gets exposed by them.The 10-Year Escape Plan: Why self-custody of hard assets (like Bitcoin and gold) and fully withdrawing from fiat equities is your only defense.The Spiritual Rebellion: Navigating the moral decay of fiat society, the necessity of analog community, and Simon's personal journey to theology and the Quran. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 02:45 - Consolidation of Power & The Multipolar World 06:28 - Trump, the TIC, FIC, and MIC Explained 15:46 - Venezuela, Gold Deals, and the Illusion of Regime Change 23:06 - The 150 People Run the World? 26:37 - The Epstein Files & Global Money Laundering Networks 34:39 - Why the Middle East is "Transitional Theater" 49:54 - Breaking the Petrodollar & The True Cost of War 56:06 - Summarizing the Engineered Global Masterplan 01:11:53 - The Psychological Pandemic 01:15:37 - The 10-Year Escape Plan 01:22:50 - Exit the System 01:24:30 - The Spiritual Awakening 01:26:20 - The Quran & Divine Guidance 01:39:24 - The Gross Happiness Index 01:55:55 - Rural Living & Surviving the Collapse - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – me@petermccormack.com › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH SIMON DIXON › Website – https://www.simondixon.com/ › Twitter – https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › Ledger - https://www.ledger.com/ › Incogni - https://incogni.com/ › Monetary Metals - httphttps://www.monetary-metals.com/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  • #157 - Neema Parvini - Who Runs the World: The Mechanics of Elite Power

    #157 - Neema Parvini - Who Runs the World: The Mechanics of Elite Power
    Mar 17 2026

    The political system appears broken but is functioning exactly as it was designed to - ensuring the ruling class never loses power.

    Author and academic Neema Parvini joins the podcast to discuss the mechanics of elite control. We discuss the "Iron Law of Oligarchy" - the reality that all political parties, no matter how radical they start, eventually conform to the establishment . Neema also explains the structural advantages the elites use to maintain their monopoly on power.

    We explore why "anti-establishment" figures like Donald Trump and the leaders of Reform UK have ultimately sold out their base, proving that outsiders don't change the system; the system changes the outsiders . From the uniparty's obsession with foreign wars to the generational theft of the national debt.

The most fun part about becoming a regular listener to the show is the simultaneous learning experience I get to share with with Peter and Danny. Bitcoin is the amalgation of multiple disciplines in expert niche subject matter; the podcast features personalities from a splintered technocratic network of bourgeoisie idealists re-imagining today along quirky interpretations of a bitcoin standard. This is the podcast administration of orange pill theory.

Best Overall Bitcoin Podcast

Fantastic guests, intellectual conversations, and technical analysis. Peter is certainly a BTC maximalist so if you're looking for information on alt coins, you'll have to go somewhere else, but this podcast covers BTC 360 degrees in an efficient, entertaining way.

Intellectual but not overly self indulgent. Real people, real stories, and ofcourse Bitcoin is the way!
