Episode notes
Information War Is Causing Real World Deaths
- Information operations are actively costing lives by delaying accurate public awareness of events like October 7 and the Gaza attacks.
- Simon Dixon says platforms and paid agents spread propaganda that misleads publics and directly contributes to civilian deaths and uprisings gone wrong.
Strait Closure Could Trigger A Multi Crisis Shock
- A prolonged Strait of Hormuz closure would combine the shocks of 2008 GFC, the 1973 oil embargo and the Russia‑Ukraine war into one catastrophic economic event.
- Dixon warns bond yields, oil prices and inflation would spike and could push the global economy from recession to depression without the strait reopening.
Prepare Financially And Practically Right Now
- Prepare now for severe supply and price shocks by securing essentials and financial options rather than waiting for government relief.
- Dixon advises patching your roof, getting an umbrella and scaffolding—metaphors for practical reserves, hedges and contingency planning.
