I recently appeared on the Scott Horton Show to talk about my recent appearance on RT discussing how the U.S. weaponizes the dollar and uses the SWIFT payment system as a foreign policy billy club, along with attempts by Voice of America’s “fact-checking” arm to debunk my claims.

Scott and I opened the discussion talking about Voice of America’s abysmal attempt to rebut my assertion that the U.S. plays dangerous foreign policy games with the SWIFT payment system. That led to a broader discussion about U.S. foreign policy.

The United States government uses the pressure of the dollar as the worldโ€™s reserve currency to get its way in foreign policy. One method is by forcing the global SWIFT payment system to lock out countries that donโ€™t want to play ball with the American world order. As Scott pointed out, daring to utter this forbidden truth will get you smeared by the mainstream media as an โ€œisolationist.”

In reality, I just don’t want the U.S. military to intervene in everyoneโ€™s warsโ€”a position that is consistent with America’s founding principles, but that the mainstream cannot tolerate.
