The AI Surveillance State Trap and the Escape No One is Talking About! | Truth Block · Simply Bitcoin

  How are they controlling me? Because they control the
• 0:02
  creation. Of money.
• 0:03
  Bitcoin does not have privacy. Central banks are not going to
• 0:07
  want to buy Bitcoin. I think there's very strong
• 0:10
  possibility that the American empire will collapse the next 5
• 0:13
  to 10 years. Iran just launched a Bitcoin
• 0:15
  backed insurance platform for ships crossing the Strait of
• 0:18
  Hormuz and late last week the Clarity Act advanced and is on
• 0:21
  track to be signed into law this summer.
• 0:23
  The world is moving fast and if you're paying attention right
• 0:26
  now, you already feel it. The money is being weaponized.
• 0:29
  The surveillance infrastructure is going up rapidly.
• 0:31
  The empire is running on borrowed time.
• 0:33
  You can see the writing on the wall.
• 0:35
  The question is, what do you actually do about it?
• 0:38
  Today we look at two of the most watched voices on the Internet
• 0:40
  to show you the fork in the road that almost nobody has eyes to
• 0:43
  see. Both of them see the trap.
• 0:46
  Neither sees the door. This is truth block.
• 0:48
  I'm Hurley. Let's mind truth.
• 0:57
  Before we dive in, I want to let you know that we're building
• 0:59
  something really exciting. It's simply Bitcoin that you
• 1:01
  won't want to miss. Scan the QR code below or visit
• 1:05
  news.simplybitcoin.com/launch to learn more and be one of the 1st
• 1:10
  to see what's coming. Professor Jiang is a Chinese
• 1:13
  Canadian educator with ABA in English Lit from Yale.
• 1:16
  But oddly enough, Professor Jiang isn't actually a
• 1:19
  professor. He teaches at a private high
• 1:21
  school in Beijing. Jiang got Internet famous and
• 1:24
  went viral for predicting Trump's second term and more
• 1:27
  recently the Iran war, and his recent interview on Diary of a
• 1:30
  CEO has over 10 million views. He's also a self-proclaimed
• 1:34
  conspiracy theorist who operates within a Gnostic spiritual
• 1:37
  framework, even claiming an intention to start his own
• 1:40
  religion. And as we covered in a previous
• 1:42
  episode, he has some truly terrible takes on Bitcoin.
• 1:46
  Where are the blockchain servers located?
• 1:50
  But when Jiang talks about the monetary system in the
• 1:52
  surveillance state, he lays out loud what millions of people are
• 1:55
  already thinking and seeing. Let's start where he starts the
• 1:59
  Petro dollar. The United States have invaded
• 2:01
  Iran because it has no choice in the matter.
• 2:05
  If it were not to invade Iran, it would lose its empire.
• 2:09
  Its empire is based purely on the US dollar, the Petro dollar,
• 2:14
  which is a Ponzi scheme. If it did not invade Iran, then
• 2:18
  people would choose not to trade with it anymore.
• 2:22
  People would choose to not buy U.S.
• 2:24
  Treasuries. Why?
• 2:26
  For the longest time, this system worked fine.
• 2:29
  But then in February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine.
• 2:36
  Yeah, OK. That was not the issue.
• 2:38
  The issue was the American response.
• 2:41
  The American response was to sanction Russia and remove
• 2:46
  Russia from the SWIFT global payment system.
• 2:50
  It also ordered the Europeans to freeze over $200 billion in
• 2:57
  Russian assets. And there's a problem.
• 3:00
  It's very basis for having the US dollar as the global reserve
• 3:05
  currency is that it would remain politically neutral.
• 3:08
  The Americans guaranteed seamless, politically neutral in
• 3:14
  a national exchange. He's right.
• 3:17
  The petrodollar is a Ponzi scheme.
• 3:19
  It requires ever expanding participation to survive.
• 3:22
  And when America froze Russia's reserves in 2022, the
• 3:26
  foundational promise of political neutrality died.
• 3:29
  Every nation on earth learned a lesson that day.
• 3:31
  If you hold someone else's money, you hold it on their
• 3:34
  terms and we're watching it play out in real time.
• 3:37
  Over the weekend, Iran launched Hormuz Safe, a Bitcoin backed
• 3:41
  insurance platform for ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz.
• 3:44
  If you want to transit the Strait, Iran will insure your
• 3:47
  cargo with cryptographically verified coverage and instant
• 3:50
  settlement. Iran's Ministry of Economy is
• 3:52
  projecting a $10 billion in revenue from it.
• 3:55
  And of course, payments are settled in Bitcoin.
• 3:58
  So a sanctioned nation under wartime conditions chose the one
• 4:01
  money that doesn't need anyone's permission to work.
• 4:03
  That's game theory, the exact kind of game theory Jiang claims
• 4:06
  to practice but never applies it to Bitcoin.
• 4:09
  In the next clip, he goes even further.
• 4:11
  Living in China, he describes from first hand experience the
• 4:14
  surveillance system the rest of the world is being marched
• 4:16
  toward right now. So the average person, it means
• 4:19
  two things. It means digital ID and digital
• 4:21
  currency. OK, So what that what that will
• 4:24
  allow is the government to basically monitor if you do
• 4:26
  online and control all financial transactions, it it can
• 4:30
  basically program your bank account.
• 4:33
  So like you can't buy cigarettes or you can't buy drugs.
• 4:38
  And this will allow the government to basically
• 4:42
  categorize everyone and put everyone into a certain database
• 4:46
  to monitor that person. Once you're able to categorize
• 4:49
  everyone you're allowed, then you are you are able to use AI
• 4:54
  to predict their behavior. Isn't this what goes on in some
• 4:56
  parts of the world? This is what goes on in China,
• 4:58
  and that's how I know about this.
• 5:01
  How does it work in China? Well, in China, we all have
• 5:04
  digital ID. If you want to access anything
• 5:08
  in China, you need your digital ID.
• 5:10
  So you're going to open a bank account, you have to, you have
• 5:13
  to use a digital ID. If you want to use any E
• 5:17
  payments, you have to use digital ID.
• 5:19
  If you want to use a phone, you have to use digital ID.
• 5:22
  OK, so everyone's part of this national database.
• 5:26
  And then this, what this allows government to do is basically
• 5:30
  monitor if you do, because basically depending on how you
• 5:34
  buy things, I can then extrapolate to figure out your
• 5:39
  behavior and then I can figure out your thinking, right?
• 5:44
  And then I can create incentives in order to guide and control
• 5:50
  your behavior. So in China, can they see
• 5:52
  everything that you do? Yes they can.
• 5:55
  Messages you send everything. Payments, you make everything.
• 5:59
  Every you do online is being recorded and it's being inputted
• 6:04
  into the database to figure out who you are, what you want, and
• 6:11
  how to control you. And they think this is progress,
• 6:15
  by the way, this is progress because I'm making you a better
• 6:19
  person, right? I'm helping you achieve your
• 6:21
  dream. I'm helping you lose weight.
• 6:24
  I'm helping you avoid drugs. I'm helping you work harder.
• 6:29
  Digital ID, Digital currency, Behavioral prediction,
• 6:32
  Behavioral control. It's not coming.
• 6:35
  It's all here. China built it, and governments
• 6:38
  everywhere are following. Canada is trying to mandate
• 6:41
  government spyware and back doors into every telecom and
• 6:43
  Internet provider in the country.
• 6:45
  As Lynn Alden put it, the push for this is growing from many,
• 6:49
  many places. This is clearly the trend, and
• 6:52
  AI is an accelerant. It'll be what turns the database
• 6:55
  into a control system. In practice, it's what closes
• 6:58
  the loop between watching what you do and deciding what you're
• 7:01
  allowed to do next. That's why every government
• 7:03
  racing toward digital currency is also racing towards AI
• 7:06
  integration. They're not separate projects.
• 7:09
  So either we walk into programmable state controlled
• 7:11
  money or we choose the only alternative that exists.
• 7:15
  Now you might have heard that the Clarity Act includes anti
• 7:17
  CBDC provisions. That sounds great on paper, but
• 7:21
  let's not kid ourselves about what's really happening here.
• 7:24
  The Clarity Act isn't about protecting you from the
• 7:26
  surveillance state. It's about extending dollar
• 7:28
  dominance. Stable coins are U.S. dollar
• 7:31
  instruments on digital rails. They expand the reach of the
• 7:34
  dollar into every corner of the global economy.
• 7:37
  Some would argue they're a Trojan horse toward the very
• 7:39
  thing the bill claims to prevent.
• 7:41
  I mean, when has the government ever passed a law that genuinely
• 7:43
  limits its own power? The anti CBDC language in the
• 7:47
  bill might delay the worst version of programmable money,
• 7:50
  but it doesn't eliminate the threat.
• 7:52
  Only one thing does that. And unfortunately for Jiang and
• 7:55
  his audience, he thinks that one thing is ACIA operation.
• 7:59
  Last month on Jack Neil's podcast, Jiang laid out his
• 8:02
  Bitcoin CIA thesis. So then you have to ask yourself
• 8:05
  three questions. First of all is who would have
• 8:10
  the technology and expertise to create something like the block
• 8:13
  blockchain? Second of all, you have to ask
• 8:18
  who would benefit from this blockchain creation.
• 8:22
  The third question you want to ask is why would they keep it
• 8:25
  secret? OK.
• 8:26
  And when you do game theory analysis, you look at all
• 8:29
  possibilities. You end up with a deep state,
• 8:32
  the American deep state. You end up with a CIA.
• 8:35
  I find it funny that you can very easily answer all three of
• 8:38
  those questions through game theory analysis without the CIA
• 8:40
  ever entering the picture. Who had the capacity the
• 8:43
  cypherpunk movement did, which consisted of decades of
• 8:46
  cryptographers working toward digital cache?
• 8:48
  Hal Finney Way Dye, Adam Back. The white paper cites their
• 8:52
  work. Who benefits?
• 8:54
  Everyone who wants to transact without permission from a
• 8:56
  central authority? Every person under sanctions,
• 8:59
  under authoritarian rule, under a monetary system debasing their
• 9:02
  savings. And why give it away?
• 9:05
  Well, the same reason Linux was given away.
• 9:07
  The same reason the core protocols that run the Internet
• 9:09
  were given away. Some things are more valuable as
• 9:11
  public infrastructure than proprietary products.
• 9:15
  And that brings us to Ray Dalio, founder of the world's largest
• 9:18
  hedge fund. Dalio has been a broken record
• 9:20
  in the last few years saying the world order has broken down.
• 9:23
  He was recently on the All In podcast and said the question
• 9:26
  everyone should be asking is what money is safe?
• 9:30
  OK, so Bitcoin does not have privacy.
• 9:34
  Any transactions can be monitored and then indirectly
• 9:40
  perhaps controlled. Central banks are not going to
• 9:43
  want to buy Bitcoin and being able to hold it.
• 9:46
  So it's not just individuals, it's institutions and so on, but
• 9:51
  most, you know, and and central banks so that there are
• 9:54
  attributes of that as and it's a relatively small market.
• 9:58
  That's a relatively controllable market.
• 10:01
  I think a lot of attention has been given to Bitcoin, but as a
• 10:04
  money, you know, it's it's it's it's small in relationship to
• 10:10
  gold. And so, you know, those are the
• 10:12
  dynamics. There is only one gold.
• 10:15
  Dalio says central banks won't hold Bitcoin because
• 10:18
  transactions can be monitored. Think about what he's actually
• 10:21
  saying. Central banks want money they
• 10:23
  can use without anyone seeing what they're doing.
• 10:25
  That's not an argument against Bitcoin.
• 10:28
  That's an argument against central banks.
• 10:30
  The whole reason we're in this mess is because people who
• 10:32
  control the money have been operating behind closed curtains
• 10:35
  for a century. You can audit every Bitcoin in
• 10:37
  existence. Can you do that with gold?
• 10:39
  No one truly knows how much gold governments actually hold.
• 10:43
  That opacity is exactly how gold failed his money.
• 10:46
  It trends towards centralization and is incredibly cumbersome and
• 10:49
  expensive to verify. And the fact that nobody knows
• 10:52
  who Satoshi Nakamoto is is actually the single greatest
• 10:55
  proof that Bitcoin can be used privately.
• 10:57
  The creator of the largest monetary network in history has
• 11:00
  remained pseudo anonymous for 17 years, sitting on over $100
• 11:03
  billion. That's privacy on Bitcoin.
• 11:06
  The open Ledger means nobody can secretly inflate the supply or
• 11:09
  print money in the dark. It's accountability at the base
• 11:12
  layer. Privacy gets built on higher
• 11:15
  layers, the same way your Internet connection is open but
• 11:18
  your messages can be encrypted. So Dalio says there's only one
• 11:21
  gold. Well, Ray, there's only one
• 11:23
  Bitcoin too. And unlike gold, you can send it
• 11:25
  across borders in minutes and verify the entire supply in
• 11:28
  seconds. Next, Jiang takes the Plato's
• 11:31
  cave allegory and applies it to the financial system.
• 11:33
  He maps each layer of control with precision.
• 11:36
  In the first layer, you need a power, a force to put people in
• 11:42
  change, right? And this is what we call the
• 11:45
  military industrial complex of America, as well as the empire.
• 11:49
  So going back to this example, it's the layer that puts the
• 11:52
  people into change. But now the second step is you
• 11:56
  need people to create the reality, to direct people's
• 12:00
  attention, to create the game. These people are the financial
• 12:03
  elite, the Bank of International Settlements.
• 12:05
  These people are the ones who set the the exchange currency
• 12:08
  rates and they also allow for seamless financial transactions.
• 12:15
  The SWIFT system, basically then Wall Street and the City of
• 12:20
  London were the financiers. And then you have the Federal
• 12:22
  Reserve, Federal Reserve System, because the Federal Reserve are
• 12:26
  the people who print money. Now, once you create the rules
• 12:31
  of the game, you need to create the game itself, which is the
• 12:33
  global economy. And obviously this is a pretty
• 12:36
  vast system that encompasses everything.
• 12:39
  OK, now you have to explain to people how the global economy
• 12:42
  works, and you cannot tell people, oh, really?
• 12:46
  There are these secret people working on the scenes that are
• 12:49
  projecting shadows onto a wall. So what you do is you create
• 12:52
  multilateral organizations that pretend to control the global
• 12:58
  economy, and they are the World Bank, they are nations, WTO.
• 13:02
  You make you believe that this is all being controlled
• 13:06
  impartially for our benefit. Now you have to convince people
• 13:11
  that the system is legitimate, that when you're actually seeing
• 13:16
  the shadows on the wall, they're real.
• 13:17
  And that's why you need the media.
• 13:21
  That's why you need culture such as Hollywood movies basically,
• 13:26
  and you need education, school system, OK, These are the people
• 13:31
  who are all prisoners, who have become leaders of the prisoners,
• 13:35
  and who are helping them understand the shadows on the
• 13:39
  wall. So remind the media.
• 13:41
  Yes, you are. Am I?
• 13:42
  Yes. So am I.
• 13:43
  What am I doing? Am I one of the people in the
• 13:45
  fire controlling the narrative? Is that what?
• 13:47
  Yes, yes, but but I'm not owned by anybody.
• 13:50
  That's what you think? Oh really?
• 13:52
  Who? Who am I owned by?
• 13:54
  Ultimately it's the people who control the fire that are in
• 13:57
  charge, right? So ultimately it's these people,
• 13:59
  the second layer, the game masters, the financial elite
• 14:02
  that control everything. And the financial elite, again,
• 14:05
  are like the World Bank, you said.
• 14:07
  No, no, the financial elite are these pirate bankers.
• 14:11
  OK, so are the private bankers controlling me because you said
• 14:14
  I was in the media. Do you?
• 14:15
  Want to make money? Yeah.
• 14:17
  Then they're controlling you. OK, Right.
• 14:20
  How are they controlling me? Because they control the
• 14:23
  creation of money. The Bank of International
• 14:25
  Settlements, the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, the media,
• 14:29
  culture, education, all sustaining A monetary reality
• 14:33
  most people never question. And Stephen Bartlett asks the
• 14:37
  obvious question, How are they controlling me?
• 14:41
  Simple answer, The creation of money.
• 14:43
  What Jiang has described, without knowing it, is the most
• 14:46
  complete case for Bitcoin you will ever hear from anyone
• 14:49
  outside the Bitcoin world. The shadows only work to enslave
• 14:52
  as long as the slaves use their money.
• 14:54
  The moment an alternative exists that no institution controls, no
• 14:57
  bank can freeze, and no government can program, the
• 15:01
  shadows lose their grip. That exit is Bitcoin, and the
• 15:05
  man who just described The Cave can't see it because he already
• 15:08
  decided it was built by the CIA. Now, Jiang also puts an
• 15:11
  incredibly aggressive timeline on the collapse of the US
• 15:13
  empire. Ray Dalio talks about the cycles
• 15:16
  through history and how sort of predictable they are and how
• 15:19
  frequent they are. Is there a frequency to the rise
• 15:23
  and fall of these, I guess, perceived realities or empires
• 15:26
  as he as he calls it? Yeah.
• 15:28
  So they say empires last around 20 years.
• 15:31
  And so we are now in the twilight of the American empire.
• 15:36
  And what we know is that when empires decline, it's always for
• 15:40
  the same reasons. And it's always because of too
• 15:45
  much debt, too much corruption, too much inequality.
• 15:50
  And we're seeing that in America today.
• 15:52
  And the other thing that we know is you can't actually stop the
• 15:55
  decline of empires. So also Spangler, who is a
• 16:00
  German theoretician, he argues that we are human beings and we
• 16:06
  have natural life cycles because we're organisms.
• 16:09
  Well, societies are the same way, where empires, they will be
• 16:13
  born, they'll rise, they'll die. And it's and it's a good thing,
• 16:18
  because that's what allows for constant human innovation.
• 16:21
  Do you? Think that will happen in my
• 16:23
  lifetime? I'm 30 years old, 33.
• 16:24
  Years old, it may happen next 5 to 10 years we are we are seeing
• 16:28
  do you? Think that's going to happen in
• 16:29
  the next 5 or 10 years I. Think there's a very strong
• 16:31
  possibility that the American empire will collapse the next 5
• 16:34
  to 10 years? Because it is overstretch, it's
• 16:38
  in too much debt and it is really angry in the entire
• 16:41
  world. It's basically unifying the
• 16:42
  entire world against it right now.
• 16:45
  The direction is right, but his timeline is a huge stretch,
• 16:48
  especially if dollar dominance gets extended through stable
• 16:50
  coin adoption, which is exactly what the Clarity Act is designed
• 16:53
  to do. Will the monetary system face a
• 16:56
  serious reckoning this decade? Almost certainly.
• 16:59
  The math doesn't work, and everyone who's honest knows it.
• 17:01
  But the entire US empire collapsing within 10 years?
• 17:05
  I'm not so sure about that. But the question isn't the
• 17:07
  timeline, it's what you're holding when the reckoning
• 17:09
  arrives. Dollars is the promise of an
• 17:12
  empire that can't keep its promises.
• 17:14
  Gold is the asset every government in history eventually
• 17:17
  confiscates when the moment demands it.
• 17:19
  Bitcoin is the only money ever created that no empire can
• 17:22
  freeze, no government can inflate, no central bank can
• 17:26
  program, and no executive order can confiscate.
• 17:30
  So that's the fork of the road. On one side, programmable money,
• 17:34
  digital ID, an AI powered surveillance apparatus that
• 17:37
  turns your bank account into a behaviour modification tool.
• 17:40
  That's the road most governments are building right now.
• 17:43
  On the other side, we have Bitcoin, sound money and
• 17:46
  verifiable scarcity that is already being used by a
• 17:49
  sanctioned nation to settle real commerce at the most contested
• 17:52
  waterway on earth. Not because they believe in
• 17:55
  freedom, but because the game theory left them no other
• 17:58
  choice. Zhang sees the chess match,
• 18:01
  Dalio sees the debt crisis. Both mapped the problem.
• 18:05
  Neither took the time to look at bitcoins architecture.
• 18:08
  They simply do not have the eyes to see or the ears to hear yet.
• 18:11
  But the good news is, you don't need them or anyone else's
• 18:14
  faulty conclusions. You just need to seek for
• 18:17
  yourself. So did Jiang's surveillance
• 18:19
  description change how you think about digital money?
• 18:22
  What's more dangerous, a government that can see every
• 18:24
  transaction, or a money that no government controls?
