A Journey Through Central Banking History and Future Solutions | Reflections on the X Space

Sep 09, 2024
 

Before we dive into the content of this X Space, it’s important to clarify that the views expressed by Truth Teller are his own and separate from mine. My views are mine alone, and neither I nor my company, Bnk To The Future, in any way endorse or share the opinions expressed by either myself or Truth Teller or anyone else, either within this X Space or outside of it. This is merely an open discussion and dialogue between myself and Truth Teller, intended to explore various ideas and perspectives.

The history of central banking is one of the most critical yet misunderstood subjects in the financial world. On Saturday, 7th September 2024, I had the privilege of sitting down with Truth Teller for an in-depth, four-hour discussion that traversed the entire landscape of central banking, from its roots in ancient theology to its modern incarnation in global finance. This was not just a technical lecture, but an intensely personal journey for me—one shaped by my own family’s experiences with financial devastation and my deep connection to faith.

My father, Reg Dixon, was a hard-working man who became a self-made millionaire after a lifetime of struggle, growing up in poverty. He was born into a world scarred by war, living through the bombings of World War II in Bristol, UK. He worked tirelessly for his family, investing wisely in his future and his pension. But in the year 2000, during the dot-com crash, he lost everything. His savings, his pension, and decades of hard work were wiped out. He asked me one simple question: “Son...where did my money go?”  That question has defined the last 24 years of my life.

The answers I found were not just academic—they revealed a systemic scam at the heart of global finance. What happened to my father is happening to millions today, and it all ties back to the way central banking operates. Understanding how we got here is the key to ensuring we don’t repeat these mistakes. This journey has been deeply personal for me, and it’s why I’m so passionate about sharing this knowledge.

Faith: The Foundation of Financial Morality

Beyond my professional journey, my personal faith has guided much of my thinking around central banking and financial reform. I come from a diverse religious background: my father was a Christian, my mother is Jewish, and my wife and her family are Muslim. Three of the world’s most significant religions have shaped my understanding and appreciation of all faiths. However, after years of personal reflection and spiritual searching, I embraced Islam and became a Muslim.

My faith in Allah has given me a deeper understanding of the moral imperatives that should guide economic systems. In Islam, we are taught that engaging in usury, or riba, is one of the gravest sins. This teaching echoes the warnings found in both Christianity and Judaism, but it is Islam's clear and preserved message against usury that resonates with me today. Allah has made it clear that economic exploitation through interest and unfair lending practices corrupts societies and creates inequities. The current financial system, with its deep reliance on debt and interest, is in direct opposition to these divine principles.

The Debt Cycle: How Central Banking Fuels Global Conflicts

Central banking isn't just about printing money. It's about creating debt—massive amounts of debt. This debt has been weaponized over centuries to fuel wars, prop up failing regimes, and destabilize nations that challenge the system. Every fiat currency in history has followed the same trajectory—debt creation, interest accrual, economic collapse. The Great Depression, the dot-com crash, and the 2008 financial crisis are all manifestations of this fundamental flaw.

We’re at the tail end of a debt cycle now, and many countries are teetering on the brink of financial collapse. As we shared during the X Space, this is no accident. The same system that created these crises is poised to profit from their resolution, as it always has. The key players in this system—central banks, private banks, and governments—continue to operate in the shadows, hidden from the public eye but fully in control of global power dynamics.

The Ponzi Scheme of Fiat Money

One of the most startling realizations I came to early in my career is that the entire fiat money system is essentially a Ponzi scheme. In fractional reserve banking, every time a bank issues a loan, it creates new money out of thin air. However, the interest to pay back that loan doesn’t exist. So, to keep the system going, more money has to be borrowed to cover the interest. This system guarantees that debt will increase exponentially, eventually leading to collapse.

During the X Space, we discussed how this plays out in real life. Every time you deposit money in the bank, the bank becomes the legal owner of your funds. They loan it out, creating more debt, which in turn creates more money. This leads to boom-and-bust cycles, which devastate economies and enrich those at the top. It’s a scam hidden in plain sight, propped up by university curricula designed to indoctrinate the next generation of bankers and economists into believing that this is just "how the system works."

Wars and Central Banking: The Hidden Hand

No discussion about central banking is complete without touching on its role in global wars. Central banks have been the financiers of conflict for centuries. Wars create debt, and debt creates profit for those who control the money supply. When we say, “follow the money,” it leads us right back to the central banks, who stand to gain from the instability that war breeds.

From World War I to the modern conflicts in the Middle East, central banking has been at the heart of the world’s most destructive periods. Countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe are examples of how monetary reform efforts have been squashed, plunging them into hyperinflation and financial ruin.

A Brighter Future for Future Generations

This X Space discussion was more than just an unveiling of historical corruption—it was a blueprint for change. By disseminating this information, we aim to ensure future generations don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. We must break the cycle and create a financial system that serves humanity, rather than perpetuating wars and debt. It is essential that we use these lessons to build a brighter future, informed and empowered.

I truly believe there is hope for a new system—one rooted in fairness, transparency, and justice for all. The youth of today need to be equipped with the knowledge of how we arrived at this point so they can reshape the world of tomorrow.

The Ripple Effect: The World is Listening

What has been most humbling about this X Space is the sheer number of people it resonated with. As of today, it has over 34,000 views, and the conversation is spreading. KimDotCom, who has over 1.6 million followers on X, reposted one of my comments from the discussion, stating: “Essential knowledge. If you don't understand this you don't understand who's running the world and why hundreds of millions had to die because of them.”

This validation from influential voices reminds me that the message is reaching those who need it most. We are at a pivotal point in history where people are waking up to the realities of our financial systems. The more people that join this conversation, the closer we get to real change.

The session on Saturday, 7th September 2024, was more than a lecture; it was a call to action. The history of central banking has shaped our world in profound ways, but understanding it is the first step toward creating meaningful change. I encourage everyone to listen to the full recording, share it, and, most importantly, begin thinking critically about the financial systems that govern our lives. Because only by understanding today’s problems can we build tomorrow’s solutions.

In honor of my father, Reg Dixon, and with the guidance of my faith in Allah, I am committed to exposing these truths and helping create a financial system based on fairness, transparency, and justice.
