The UK has unveiled its plan to become a full surveillance state. Is this part of a grander plan orchestrated by BlackRock and Gulf nations? In Episode 92 of Bitcoin HardTalk, Simon Dixon decodes the real story, revealing how the Proof-of-Weapons network is buying UK and EU cooperation to de-colonize the Middle East.
This episode follows the money to connect the dots between new trade deals, a rebounding US dollar, and the push to formally recognize Palestine as a state.

On the US front, we’ll discuss:
- The proposed $1 trillion stimulus following stronger-than-expected growth
- Stock markets dominated by tech mega-caps

- The role of BlackRock and Palantir in shaping economic and political outcomes, often at the expense of state sovereignty
