Mentor Sessions Ep. 062: CIA’s Deep State Ultimatum, the Next 7–10 Trillion Dollar Print, and Who Really Controls Trump | Lawrence Lepard & Simon DixonShadow forces. Transnational capital. A financial system designed to keep you dependent. And Bitcoin sitting at the center of the most important power struggle of our time.In this conversation, we go deep on the geopolitical and financial forces reshaping the world in 2026 — who controls them, how they operate, and why Bitcoin and AI are forcing a reckoning that the old guard cannot stop. You'll come away with a clearer picture of how global power actually flows, why the legacy financial system is structurally compromised, and what the rise of decentralized money means for ordinary people caught in the crossfire. This isn't speculation — it's a framework for understanding what's happening right now and why it matters to every person holding bitcoin.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro: Shadow forces and hidden control3:45 - How transnational capital operates outside governments9:20 - The architecture of the modern financial system15:10 - Why nation-states are losing power to private networks21:30 - The role of AI in accelerating the power shift28:00 - Bitcoin as a neutral, apolitical monetary network34:15 - How shadow forces view Bitcoin as a threat40:50 - The coming global reset — timeline and triggers47:20 - Gold vs. Bitcoin in the new monetary order53:40 - What individuals can do to protect themselves now59:10 - Final thoughts and where to follow the guest🔗 Links & Resources:Simon Dixon: https://x.com/SimonDixonTwittLawrence Lepard: https://x.com/LawrenceLepardBitcoin Survival Workshop: https://btcmentor.io/bitcoin-survival-workshop-2026/Simon's Links:From 9/11 to the White House: When the Ex-Al-Qaeda Boss Becomes Syria’s President and Dines with Trumphttps://www.simondixon.com/blog/al-qaeda-boss-white-house-911-truthIs Trump Blackmailed by Epstein? https://www.simondixon.com/blog/trump-epstein-kushner-blackmailHow Israel Stole the Bomb and Murdered a President: Uncovering the NUMEC Conspiracyhttps://www.simondixon.com/blog/numec-israel-atomic-bomb-jfkHow The CIA Created This War with Iran For British Petroleumhttps://www.simondixon.com/blog/cia-war-iran-british-petroleum-simon-dixon📌 Previous Episode: Lyn Alden & Luke Gromen → https://youtu.be/6tkKoMEiFDk⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 061: Macro Legends on Oil, the Breaking US Treasury Market, and the Dollar Crisis No One Is Ready For | Luke Gromen & Lyn AldenIran doesn't have to beat the US military. They just have to beat the US Treasury market — and that changes everything you think you know about this conflict.The Strait of Hormuz is the chokepoint for roughly 20% of the world's oil supply, and right now it sits at the center of a geopolitical storm with consequences that reach far beyond the Middle East. In this deep-dive interview, we break down exactly how a Hormuz disruption cascades into oil price spikes, supply chain breakdowns, and a inflation surge that puts the US dollar's reserve status under unprecedented pressure. You'll understand why this conflict is as much a financial war as a military one, what it means for energy markets in 2026, and why Bitcoin's role as a neutral, non-sovereign asset has never been more relevant. Whether you're trying to protect your wealth or just make sense of the headlines, this conversation gives you the framework to think clearly when the noise is loudest.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 – Iran Doesn’t Need to Beat the Military, Just the Treasury 1:10 – Episode Intro with Luke Gromen & Lyn Alden 1:25 – Oil Prices, Futures Curve & Hormuz Crisis 2:10 – Will Hormuz Opening Fix Everything? 3:53 – Mid-May Deadline & Escalating Impact 8:02 – Supply Chain Fragility & Non-Linear Breaks 14:14 – The Upside-Down Global Economy (You Can’t Print Oil) 15:31 – Food Shortages & Global South Risks 18:35 – Inflation, Money Printing & Debt Spiral 20:04 – Why the US Must Print Money in 2026 24:10 – Treasury Market Stress & Buybacks 32:11 – Japan, China & Dollar Pressure 43:52 – Why Are We Really in This Conflict? 1:09:12 – Petrodollar Under Pressure & Gold-for-Oil 1:13:59 – Best & Worst Case Scenarios 1:26:54 – Bitcoin’s Role Right Now 1:32:23 – Final Thoughts & Where to Find Luke & LynFollow Luke:X: @LukeGromenWebsite & Research: fftt-llc.comNewsletter: fftt-treerings.comFollow Lyn:X: @LynAldenContactWebsite & Free Newsletter: lynalden.com📌 Previous Episode: Prof St Onge → https://youtu.be/fqi7fwqyV1g⚡ POWERED by Abundant Mines: Fully managed Bitcoin mining.
