'Unprecedented' Global RESET Coming - Here's What Elites Are Planning: Simon Michaux

Main summary

Key takeaways

News and Commentary

Overview

Guest Simon Michaux argues the world is moving toward an “unprecedented” structural reset, driven by elite struggle for control over the financial system, commodities, energy, and geopolitical outcomes. He frames this as more than routine politics—a “changing of guard” among those who control global industry and power. He also suggests the transition could include shortages, especially food, due to disruptions to energy and fertilizer supply chains.

Main Claims and Analysis

Global “reset” is structural and elite-managed

  • Michaux claims power holders are coordinating (or at least competing) to decide what the “new system” will be.
  • He views current conflicts as tools that reshape leverage and control over global systems—likening it to a “Game of Thrones” dynamic among major factions.

Energy and finance are the core bottlenecks

  • He argues the financial system has been effectively “on life support” since the 2008 financial crisis, because it depends heavily on cheap/accessible oil and oil-linked stability.
  • He claims banking regulation changes (referencing Basel-era rules) force structural financial restructuring, reducing the system’s ability to sustain itself through paper assets.
  • He suggests the old dollar–oil regime is under stress and is being replaced via an “arm wrestle” among factions.

Commodities alliances and BRICS are central

  • He asserts the BRICS/commodities-alliance camp is pushing toward a commodities-backed currency model.
  • He connects this to geopolitical flashpoints—especially Ukraine and Iran—as part of the broader competition over money and commodities.

Food shortage risk from Middle East / energy disruptions

  • Michaux argues the situation involving Iran affects not only oil flow, but also regional production chains that impact global inputs.
  • He claims roughly half of the world’s fertilizer needs sulfur, and that Middle Eastern disruptions reduce sulfur fertilizer availability.
  • He argues that missing one planting season could reduce the wheat crop, potentially reaching the smallest size since around 1970, increasing macro-level food scarcity risks—especially for carbs.

Who “really” makes decisions

  • In response to the host’s question, Michaux argues politicians are constrained by systems that replace them if they pursue deep structural change.
  • He claims real power is concentrated in the banking/finance sector, where major entities (and, in his view, media ownership structures) are interconnected and mutually owned.
  • He references elite meeting groups (e.g., Davos/Bilderberg) as agenda-shapers, while arguing the true “string-pullers” are not publicly visible.

Secret societies: not necessary for control, but plausible as infiltration/organization

  • He says he investigated secret-society theories years earlier and concluded that human nature and wealth concentration may explain most outcomes.
  • He proposes a “middle path” view: small wealthy groups could infiltrate institutions (such as Freemasons) for organizational reach, then withdraw once their usefulness ends.

False-Flag / Escalation-Style Event Speculation

  • Michaux claims “all options are on the books” for events intended to redirect public behavior during destabilization.
  • He discusses the possibility of increasing reliance on large distractions, citing concepts such as alien invasion ideas and rogue AI narratives, suggesting elites may escalate tactics as earlier false-flag strategies become less effective.
  • He also speculates about political uses of crisis narratives (including election interference/fraud claims) to justify emergency measures or influence election timing.

Wars (Ukraine and Iran): Framing and Purported Underlying Reasons

Ukraine

  • He argues Western militarization, including talk of conscription, reflects panic and escalation rather than coherent strategy.
  • He claims Europe’s anti-Russia stance is driven by fear and disrupted reasoning.
  • He asserts that major Western actions—along with infrastructure attacks (which he attributes to external actors regarding Nord Stream)—eliminated plausible paths to diplomacy and worsened energy and economic consequences.
  • Bioweapon labs: he claims the U.S. government funded numerous bioweapon labs and that this violates the Geneva Convention, presenting it as a concealed driver of war dynamics.
  • Ukraine as staged/managed conflict:
    • He argues Ukraine was used to provoke Russia, deny alternatives, and create conditions favorable to a broader Western reset.
    • He portrays sanctions and economic warfare as deliberate empire-dynamics, not purely defensive measures.

Iran

  • He argues the public explanation is incomplete and that the real target could involve larger strategic aims, potentially including China’s economic vulnerability to oil.

“Silver Lining” / Alternative Future

  • Despite the bleak outlook, he argues people are getting “redpilled,” and decentralized parallel systems may emerge.
  • He predicts innovation under pressure, including:
    • a shift toward new energy sources (he mentions thorium molten-salt reactors),
    • new money systems possibly involving crypto backed by physical assets (e.g., gold/silver),
    • improved decentralized production and supply chains, especially for food.
  • His concluding view: the old system is doomed, but society may rebuild after an “unprecedented” period of hardship.
