The last time Josh Sigurdson and I had a one-on-one interview, I was a chainsmoking whiskey-slogging anarcho-capitalist who hated the government and crusaded in favor of sound money and an anti-fiat policy, voluntary exchange, and minimum government intervention.  Most of that is still true. Not the addictions, because I worked extremely hard to get rid of those. And, I still believe in a free market system based on Austrian principles, which is essentially the premise of the Dollar Vigilante newsletter that goes out twice a month to subscribers and is the sharpest financial intelligence you're going to find for less than $20 a month at dollarvigilante.com/subscribe But I no longer believe that the government is our biggest enemy. I really don’t believe that any ‘government’ is in control of the world as it is. Hell, I don’t even believe the world is real. I’ve said many times before this is just a 3D video game, the Matrix, the Trueman Show, whatever you want to call it.  So, I really enjoyed Josh starting off this interview by asking me a question most people are conditioned not to think about too deeply: WHO ACTUALLY RUNS THE WORLD? David Icke’s reptilians?  Max Igan’s moloch-worshipping cult from Khazaria?  Christof Melchizedek’s mimic-mirror consciousness that feeds off negative human energy?  Jeff Berwick’s satanic child-sacrificing, baby-eating demonically possessed ‘chosen people’.  My answer is (e) all of the above.  This is exactly the kind of stuff we discussed at Anarchapulco Genesis and the TDV Summit with some of the world’s leading reality theorists this past week when the false flag ‘terror attack’ broke out in Puerto Vallarta. I highly recommend that if you’re interested in who runs the world and their agenda, you sign up for the Anarchapulco replays at anarchapulco.com to hear from people like David and Gareth Icke, Christof Malchizedek and Max Igan directly.  In 1984, George Orwell told us all about the mechanisms by which authoritarian systems control populations by making the abnormal seem normal and breaking people’s morale. He illustrated how the regime made oppressive and absurd conditions seem ordinary. In 1984, the Party constantly rewrites history, controls language (Newspeak), and monitors behavior so that citizens accept surveillance, propaganda, and arbitrary rules as everyday life. What was once shocking (constant spying, public executions, or forced confessions) becomes “just the way things are.”  This is called normalization: the slow conditioning of people to accept violations of freedom and reason as normal. Sound familiar?  Orwell also explored demoralization: the psychological process of making individuals feel powerless and disconnected from truth or morality. Citizens are taught to doubt themselves, believe in lies, and ultimately rely on the state. Demoralization ensures compliance, people stop resisting because they feel hopeless, isolated, and morally confused. Former KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov described demoralization as a process where a population loses the ability to recognize truth even when confronted with it. After years of contradiction, propaganda, and engineered division, people become psychologically exhausted. They stop resisting not because they agree but because resistance feels pointless. Look around now. The exhaustion is visible everywhere. So who runs the world?  We know it’s not the politicians you vote for every 4 years when you go behind a shower curtain to make your mark behind a red elephant pentagram or a blue donkey pentagram. Not the parties you argue about online. Not the faces on te
