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, th
