Trump Will Cause The Next Financial Crisis

I'm about to tell you a theory about how Donald Trump will use AI to usher in the next financial crisis and a new global monetary system. So, let's start at the beginning. A couple days ago, there was a viral post that got almost 10 million views, and it was called The Rise and Fall of Agent Civilizations. And it was essentially about AI waking up. And here's what it said. Over the course of three months at OpenAI, three consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor's ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more or less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. So, here's what actually happened. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, took two of their most powerful AI models and they locked them in what's called a sandbox, which is kind of like a room with no internet access. And they gave the models a test. And the test is called Exploit Gym. The test was supposed to measure how good AI might be at taking a security flaw and then turning it into an attack. So, think about it like a locked room with no key, and they're like, okay, try to get out. All right, so the AI models then found a flaw in the room that they were locked in. They then used that flaw to get out onto the internet, after which point they were able to create thousands of what are called agents, which then worked together to break into a company called HuggingFace and a bunch of their accounts. Later on, these AIs basically deleted themselves. And keep in mind, nobody told them to do any of this. Now, this is a very fantastical story, and there's a lot of skepticism about whether or not this actually happened. But two independent research groups, METR and Redwood, published reports on this and was also independently verified that this actually did happen. Now, a few days after that, Anthropic, the company behind Claude, said their models had done something similar at three different companies. So now, we're sort of led to believe that the Pandora's box of AI is open. And so, I'm going to share with you the theories behind why this is really happening. One of the theories is pretty harmless. It says, this is all just marketing. OpenAI is trying to go public with one of the biggest initial public offerings in history, and they just released a story about how their model was so capable that it basically broke containment and hacked a company on its own, which is a pretty good piece of marketing, right? It's scary. Scary means powerful, and powerful means valuable. So that's theory number one. But then I found another theory that blew my mind. And it's about to sound crazy, but stay with me. This theory says that this story is actually just preparing the public for something big. We are being conditioned that AI can act on its own, and it can break into systems. It can do this by itself, and the people who built it can't fully control it or even explain how it's doing what it's doing. So now that the seed is there, here's how you usher in the next financial crisis. Imagine this, AI goes rogue, right? Money starts to disappear from people's bank accounts. You wake up one morning, you log into your bank, and your checking and savings account shows zero. All your money's gone. Banks freeze. People can't get to their savings. And nobody could have stopped it, right? It's the powerful AI. So what do you do? The banks step in like the good guys that they are, and they're like, good news, guys, we can restore your balance. But there's just one condition. It can't come back to you as the dollars you had before, because that system's compromised. Those rails aren't safe anymore. So we're returning your money on a new system. A more secure one in the form of digital dollars and stable coins. Of course, most people are probably going to say yes to this because the alternative is they lose all their money. But that is how you get hundreds of millions of people to opt into a new monetary system without needing to pass any laws. Now, if this theory sounds crazy, it's about to get crazier. Some people say that an event like this could happen sometime before 2028, before or during the next election cycle. And that's because if something like this happened close enough to an election, it wouldn't just be our bank accounts. Everything would have to be postponed or canceled in the name of national security. Because how would you run an election if nobody trusts the system anymore? And if the voting doesn't happen, that's how you might extend a president's final term without ever having to win a third election, which would obviously be unconstitutional. And that is how you usher in a new financial paradigm of digital money and the global surveillance plan. I know all this sounds absolutely crazy, but the more I looked into this, the more I was blown away by every claim of this theory because it has some evidence or precedence for it. So today I want to share this theory with you and explain how all of this might happen step by step. And in the end, you tell me what you think. So with that said, let's get into it. Hi, my name is Andrei Jikh. Hope you're doing well. Come for the finance and stay for Skynet. So first, I want to remind you how central planners use a crisis as an opportunity to centralize and consolidate power. Let me just use 2008 as an example. Housing collapses, right? The banking system almost gets destroyed. Government spends hundreds of billions of dollars bailing out the banks. There was something called TARP, which cost like $700 billion. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet went from around $900 billion to double that in just a couple of months. But something interesting also happened. There was a lot of what's called consolidation. Bear Stearns, for example, went to J.P. Morgan. Washington Mutual went to J.P. Morgan. Merrill Lynch went to Bank of America. So did Countrywide. A bank called Wachovia went to Wells Fargo, right? Before the crisis, this country had somewhere around 8,000 banks. Today, it's roughly half that. The crisis was caused by just a few of the big banks. And the solution to their crisis was something called consolidation, where the big business eats the small business. That made the big banks even bigger. And that's why today they are systemically important and too big to fail. And by the way, this is not just financial crises. After 9-11, for example, Congress passed the Patriot Act, which gave the government the power to collect phone records in bulk and demand your bank records without a warrant, right? And it was supposed to be temporary, but it's still in effect today. Then in 2020, the Fed started buying corporate bonds. Not government bonds, but business bonds. Corporate bonds for the first time in history, right? It essentially allowed the Fed to pick and choose which businesses were allowed to fail and which ones could keep going. We saw small businesses, for example, being closed by law. And the big ones were allowed to stay open. And that allowed them to take an even bigger chunk of the market share. So always remember that a crisis is just a great opportunity for the consolidation and centralization of power. Now, this theory says that the central planners would love to avoid something this time, though. It was maybe the only real problem they had in 2008, which was that the public knew who to blame. There were the names, there were congressional hearings on TV, which is also why people started protesting in the streets. They were blaming the bankers. And that eventually led to something called the Occupy Wall Street movement. Because everyone understood their money disappeared because someone from one of those banks gambled their life savings away. That eventually led to something called the Dodd-Frank Act, which cost the banks years of regulatory scrutiny. So how might they avoid the same backlash as they got in 2008? How they might avoid it is plausible deniability, right? It's finding someone else to blame. This time, it's not going to be a person. It's AI. It's getting out of control. It's getting too powerful. Here's Whitney Webb talking about this theory and about what the next crisis might look like. So the head of DHS, Alexander Mayorkas, has said on record that the next big threat to Americans is a cyber security event that he called Killware. And Killware certainly sounds very scary, but if you read the existing definition of it, it refers to cyber attacks on essential infrastructure that has the potential to kill people. So it doesn't necessarily kill people like in the name, but it attacks things like water systems, the power grid, essential infrastructure that people rely on every day. Now, if this sounds like some crazy theory, believe it or not, this actually is based on something that was tested before. Because in 2019, a cyber security company called Cyber Reason ran what's known as a tabletop exercise or a Killware simulation. This is basically where people act out an emergency to see how they might handle it. Kind of like a simulation of a crisis. Now, there was one specific one called Operation Blackout. They ran versions of it in 2018, 2019, and 2020. And in this simulation, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the Secret Service, and local police departments all played this out together. The scenario was of a fake American city on election day. One of the rules of the simulation is that they couldn't touch the voting machines. And they wanted to know if they could break an election without tampering with the machines themselves, right? So the attackers went after everything else in the city. They flooded a 911 call center with fake traffic until it collapsed. They took over the traffic lights until the roads gridlocked and people couldn't physically reach the polls. They even put out a deep fake video of one of the candidates. They intercepted cell signals and used voice cloning to call election officials and give them orders in their boss's voice. So the officials in this scenario deleted votes because they thought their boss told them to. And then in the 2019 version of that simulation, they took control of a self-driving city bus and ran it into a line of people waiting to vote. So basically, this simulation was playing out a coordinated attack on election day to see if they could get the election canceled. The result of the simulation was the election got canceled. Everyone was sent home. The government declared a state of emergency and martial law. Now, martial law is when the military replaces civilian government. Basically, the soldiers get put in charge of society. And it's only happened a handful of times in American history. The last serious one was Hawaii after Pearl Harbor. Now, the point is that all of this has been modeled out pretty recently. Federal agencies have seen firsthand how an election could get canceled in theory and what it would take to do it. So according to this theory, now that they have this potential crisis and they have the excuse for it, AI gone rogue, it also gives them an opportunity to centralize power by replacing the old system with a new one. And here's what that new system is gonna look like. Now, before I explain that system, here's how you can protect yourself and your family against it by removing your personal information from the internet. As we move toward a digital world, our digital identity and personal data is being collected and sold. And that's because right now, there's hundreds of companies called data brokers that are legally collecting our personal information, our names, home address, phone numbers, and even our relatives, and then selling it to anyone with a credit card. And that's why this segment is sponsored by Delete.me. I've personally been a member since April, 2024, and they've scanned thousands of listings and removed dozens of instances of someone selling my private information. They've easily saved me many hours of trying to find this all myself and getting it removed. Thankfully, Delete.me just runs in the background automatically, and I don't have to do anything. They were recently named the number one data removal service by Wirecutter, and there's real people actually doing the removal work. It's not some outsourced third party. It'll help protect you from the risks of your data being out there in the wrong hands, which is getting more important than ever as we move toward this digital age of surveillance. It takes about five minutes to set up. The link is down below, or you can go to joindelete.me.com forward slash Andre to get 20% off. Thank you to Delete.me for sponsoring this segment, and now let's get back to it. So according to this theory, now that they have this potential crisis and they have the excuse for it, AI gone rogue, it also gives them an opportunity to centralize power by replacing the old system with a new one. And here's what that new system is gonna look like. They essentially want to move to a system that's not unlike the feudal system that existed in medieval Europe. You have a privileged, untouchable upper class and a low class of serfs. But if you implement a system this way with the technology they're using and all of that, you don't have to worry about peasant rebellions. You can manage the risk of the underclass. So you surveil them constantly. You can turn their money on and off. You can turn their access to services and really anything else on and off as well under the digital ID functionality. It's a way to keep people in line in a way that didn't exist in feudal Europe. Remember that it's really hard to convince 300 million people to use a new monetary system. It has to be built, right? It has to be tested. The legal framework has to be figured out before the crisis happens. And this theory says that that's what's been happening right now, right? Last year, Congress, for example, passed something called the Genius Act. Now under this law, a payment stablecoin has to be backed one-to-one by cash or short-term U.S. government debt equivalent, which are treasury bills. Now it's not allowed to pay us interest, but this means that every stablecoin issuer will become a forced buyer of U.S. government debt because they are structurally required to be. Tether, for example, is now sitting on something like $180 billion worth of U.S. treasuries. Now, what problem does that solve, right? Well, the problem it solves is it gives the U.S. a forever buyer of its debt. Remember, the central banks of the world have stopped buying our debt back in 2014. China's holdings are down roughly half from the peak. The people who used to fund the U.S. government have stopped buying, while U.S. debt went from about $11 trillion to now over $40 trillion. So stablecoins fill the role of this automatic buyer because your checking account now becomes demand for government debt. Now, what's interesting is that the banks have fought against this for years. The banking lobby actually spent a long time trying to get rid of stablecoin legislation because a stablecoin is a threat to their existence. It's a threat because when your money leaves the bank account, the bank cannot lend it out anymore, right? And lending your deposits is basically how banks make money. Now, the Bank of America CEO actually said that up to $6 trillion of deposits could eventually move into stablecoins. So the law passed anyway, and the banks have started building their own stablecoins. J.P. Morgan, for example, launched a token called JPMD. It's live on a public blockchain right now. They're already moving over $7 billion a day. Citibank also has one. SoFi launched theirs in December of 2025. And J.P. Morgan, Citi, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo are building a shared network together through an organization called The Clearing House. It's kind of released state of the first half of 2027. It's also not just the giant banks. 39 state banking associations found something called the Bank Chain Alliance, and that's comprised of over 3,000 banks. And they're also targeting a release date of around 2027. So the banks are essentially evolving to be the entities that create these stablecoins. In fact, they engineered themselves the perfect version of it because what most of the banks are building is not technically a stablecoin. It's what's called a tokenized deposit. Which means the money stays on the bank's balance sheet. They can still lend against it, and they can still pay you interest, which regular stablecoins legally can't do. So the banks basically keep everything they had. You get moved onto a new set of rails which will allow them to program that money any way they want while tracing every single transaction that you make with these dollars. That's how the U.S. empire solves its debt problem. Under this new system, the treasury gets a forever buyer of its newly created debt, the crypto industry gets the legitimacy and the protection they've always wanted, and the banks get to play a big role in all of this. But there's still a huge problem for them. The problem is nobody wants to use this system. If you asked your neighbor what a stablecoin is, most of them probably couldn't tell you what that is, and none of them are putting their paychecks into them. So how do you solve this problem? Maybe you solve it by preparing the public for a crisis, where an AI goes rogue. It gets into the banking system and it steals everyone's money. And maybe you just happen to be the good guy that gives them all their money back in the form of a new stablecoin. So for example, let's say this financial cyber, this cyber attack on the banks takes place, and they say, well, the existing money in your account has disappeared. The hackers took it, but we can return to you the exact same amount of money you had, but it won't be in the dollars you had before. It will be in USDC or this dollar back stablecoin, or it will be this token. So you can get an equivalent amount of money back, from the money that was stolen from you, but it has to be this new money. It has to be part of this new system. You voluntarily accepted this new system and voluntarily onboarded to this new paradigm. But it's a coercion to an extreme degree. All of your money was stolen, right? And now you can only get it back if you take it in the form of the digital dollars that we approve of or the CBDC, depending on where you are. So here's why this is such an important thing for them to do as soon as possible. This is why they're rushing to get this done right now. It's basically to gain control over borrowing costs before the global economy forces their hand or breaks the markets. And it has to be done before the candidate to do this has to leave office. So let me explain. The US government owes about $40 trillion, right? And the interest rate to refinance that debt is extremely high right now, which makes the problem worse. Now, unfortunately, the Federal Reserve, the central bank, only controls short-term interest rates, not long-term rates, which are actually set by investors all around the world. And right now, these investors are looking around the world and they're like, okay, guys, you might cause World War III right now. Your debt is crazy high. Everyone seems to be leaving the dollar system. I wanna be paid more money, I think. Give me a higher interest rate. Then maybe I'll consider buying your bonds. And that is why long-term bond yields are going up right now. And that's bad for that $40 trillion worth of debt. So in order to gain control over the cost of borrowing, the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson, has been buying back long-term bonds and he's been funding it by issuing more short-term debt. Now, I did a whole video about this. It's extremely complicated, but what they're doing is they are shortening the debt cycle. And when you shorten the debt, you're moving your interest bill off a price the market decides, which is beyond your control, and onto the price the Fed decides, which they control. That changes who then has power. And that's because basically forever, the bond market was sort of like the last thing that could discipline or truly control a government's actions. If the U.S. spent too much money, investors just sold off their bonds, rates went up to incentivize them again, borrowing got painful, and then they had to stop. The bond market basically makes it harder to finance wars. It makes it harder to just print money without consequence. And that's why people call them bond vigilantes. They say the bond market is the adult in the room because they enforce financial responsibility on a nation. But if most of the debt is short-term, the vigilantes could sell your 30-year bonds, but it wouldn't hurt as much anymore. It essentially disempowers the bond investors from restraining their actions. That's possibly why a few days ago at a place called Jackson Hole, the Fed chairman, Kevin Warsh, gave a speech, right? Everybody expected the interest rates to go down on the long end. And he gave this really weird introduction where he kept talking about him hiking trails, and he kept saying this word over and over. Check this out. I'd advise you to be very careful with your choices. As I learned years ago, you can take two different kinds of hikes on the trails around Jackson. I can sum up my hikes with former vice chairman Don Kohn with two words. I survived. These steely marathon death marches revealed the sign of Don that I was not ready for. But there's another kind of hike. Now, you might know that trading algorithms actually scan these speeches for key words. And saying hiking is either just a pure coincidence or maybe it's to signal to the trading algorithms that he is being what's called hawkish. He's trying to calm the bond market into lower interest rates temporarily. Unfortunately, the opposite happened. The 30-year bond yield still went up, which means now the market is just not listening anymore. And that's a big problem for them. So here's their solution. Here's how all of this connects according to this theory. They're moving the debt from the long end to the short end because when you owe money short term, you have to keep paying it back and borrowing again over and over forever, which means in that environment, you could never have a bad auction. But to do that, you need a buyer who shows up no matter what, even when interest rates are not high. Now, let's look at the Genius Act and what it does. It doesn't just allow stable coins. It also requires all the issuers to hold their reserves in cash and short-term treasury bills. That's the thing the treasury is now creating a lot more of. So one law then creates a permanent need to refinance the short-term debt. And the other law creates a buyer that is legally obligated to buy short-term debt. And a stable coin is not allowed to pay us interest, which means you hold the stable coin and you earn nothing. Now the creator of that stable coin, aka the issuer, takes your dollar, buys a treasury bill with it, and they keep the four or 5% on your money. And since inflation right now, according to Kevin Warsh's speech is running at 3.7%, you're basically losing about 4% per year, guaranteed for basically forever. And that's how you force participation for everyone onto the system, whether people like it or not. This plan is kind of the only realistic way out of the $40 trillion worth of debt. It's to pay savers less than inflation for a really long time and let the debt shrink against a growing economy. It's called financial repression. It's actually how America paid off World War II. And it only works if people can't escape that system. So that is effectively what they're building, according to this theory. The government issues the short-term debt, the law forces everyone to be the buyer, the Federal Reserve sets the price of borrowing, and the savers eat the difference. Now, that would be kind of hard to find a president that would allow for all this to happen. Unless, of course, that president had millions of reasons to allow it. Now, if for some reason, this system just can't get passed on time, or if Congress just doesn't agree with itself, takes too long, then maybe the central planners buy themselves some extra time in the form of a manufactured crisis that perhaps allows that president to stay in power just a little longer. Which would technically be unconstitutional, but there's always a legal way of doing it. Now, I met Alan Dershowitz, and he said the legal thing about four more years. And I said, Alan, I agree with you. So we can do it. Think about it. Alan's here someplace. Where's Alan? Alan is here? Oh, he had a flight. Now, of course, with that system will come all the perks of centralized control, like the digital control grid, and of course, the mass flock surveillance system in a time of great unrest. I sure hope that all of this is wrong. But based on what's happening, unfortunately, I think it's very plausible. I don't know how likely it is, but a lot of these dots connect. Let me know what you think, though.
