Who will replace the American Empire? In this highly anticipated debate, Simon Dixon sits down with Professor Jiang to discuss the shifting tides of global power, the future of the dollar, and the rise of new superpowers.

In this intense debate recorded on Friday 9th January, 2026, I sit down with Professor Jiang from Predictive History to discuss the planned collapse of Pax Americana and the emergence of a new world order.

While we both agree that we are witnessing a fundamental shift in global power, our views on who ultimately fills the vacuum in the Middle East and beyond differ significantly.

Professor Jiang posits the rise of Pax Judeaica, arguing that Israel will become the nexus of global trade and power, leveraging its surveillance technology, human capital, and intelligence apparatus.

Conversely, I contend that we are moving toward a GCC-controlled Middle East, but multipolar world order. In my view, Israel is being strategically burdened with debt and co-opted by a transnational financial industrial complex—including the US financial industrial complex, Gulf sovereign wealth and Chinese capital—to provide regional stability for profit rather than remaining a sovereign hegemon.

Key topics covered in this debate:

• The Debt Crisis & The Fall of the Dollar: Why the United States is now subordinate to its bondholders and corporate interests, effectively losing its sovereign power.
• Pax Judeaica vs. The GCC: Is Jerusalem the new capital of transnational capital, or is the Middle East being divvied up by global banks?.
• The Role of Donald Trump: We discuss whether Trump is a "king of chaos" or a strategic agent installed to execute the transition to a multipolar world and a police state.
• The "Lynchpin" Event: We identify the potential destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque as the ultimate test of our competing theses.
• Global Flashpoints: Insights into the recent operations in Venezuela, the "theatrical" wars involving Iran and Israel, and the looming conflict between China and Japan.
• Financial Survival: The importance of following financial flows, the parabolic rise of Gold and Silver, and how to protect your family and community as the old system deconstructs.

As I mention in the video, I believe real power is now stateless and transnational, superseding borders and utilizing national militaries as mere "militias" for financial interests. Watch/listen until the end to hear our closing remarks on why your money—not your vote—is your ultimate power in this rapidly changing landscape.
