Episode Title: Top 10 SCAMS: The World Runs on Concentric Circles of Scams!
Host: Jay Dyer
Date: November 19, 2024
1. Overview
Main Theme:
Jay Dyer unpacks what he considers the ten primary scams that structure the modern world, discussing how scams operate at every level—from multi-level marketing and fake corporate ventures to global economics, academia, the environment, and ultimately, the technocratic “Great Reset.” Dyer explores the mindset and machinations behind con artistry, linking these themes to broader social, historical, and philosophical trends, and urging listeners to identify deception not only in obvious places, but as part of the very foundations of contemporary society.
Purpose:
To shift the audience’s perspective from identifying only small or medium-scale scams to seeing the architecture of elite-level scams underpinning geopolitics, economics, education, and the future world order.
2. Key Discussion Points & Insights
A. Comedy, The Event, and Book Backstory (07:06–22:54)
- Jay recaps a recent live event where he blended comedy and serious lectures, touching on the appearance of “feds,” the demographic shift of his audience, and running jokes about “soy face” selfies.
- Launches into a detailed, humorous account of his “infamous Red Book”—an unauthorized compilation of his philosophical and theological essays, which fans brought for him to sign despite its patchy, unintended release.
- Critiques the editorial choices of whoever published the book, noting everything from outdated arguments to blog posts that weren’t print-ready.
- Quote: “...people are coming up, get me to sign books that I wrote that I didn’t even know I had. Like what? That ain’t my book. Oh, that’s that infamous red book.” (17:00)
B. On Scams—Why They Matter (39:00–45:26)
- Jay positions himself as an accidental expert on scams through years of studying cults, espionage, and organized crime.
- Draws parallels between intelligence/spycraft and large-scale scams: “...a large portion of espionage, intelligence, counter-intelligence, is deception. It’s betrayal, lying...” (41:45)
- Suggests that scams don’t end at pyramid schemes or crypto frauds, but are intrinsic to how the global economy and governance function.
C. The Public’s Inability to See Elite Scams (45:44–52:00)
- Discusses the TikTok trend of youth “calling out” lower-level scams (landlords, multilevel marketing, corporate pump-and-dumps) but failing to grasp more insidious, geopolitical or systemic scams.
- Notes that social media users now diagnose everyone as narcissists or gaslighters, but “can’t recognize Gil Bates or Klaus Schwab as narcissists—why stop at the mid-tier?”
- Quote: “Why do you stop at that level, dummy?” (48:10)
- Argues that world affairs are dominated by elite-level con artistry, and if people can spot small grifts, they should try looking higher.
D. The Example of Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos (1:13:12–1:22:39)
- Uses Theranos and its founder Elizabeth Holmes as the prototypical “scam artist,” comparing her uncanny ability to sell a vision (with a fake deep voice and all) to greater, systemic frauds in the medical, financial, and scientific communities.
- Satirically imitates Holmes’ presentation style, highlighting the emptiness of corporatespeak.
- Quote: “She’s just like a talking motivational poster. The pursuit of excellence...” (1:18:14)
E. The Top 10 Scams: Breakdown & Analysis (1:24:30–2:17:50)
1. Economics
- Fiat money, central banking, and the Federal Reserve as foundational global scams.
- Debt-based economies, taxation, and lottery as extensions of this scammy architecture.
- Politicians' perceived incompetence is a protective “shield” concealing deeper scam operations.
- Quote: “Economics itself is a scam...the dollar as the world reserve currency is based on a fiat money printer go scam.” (1:26:45)
2. Revolutionary Politics and Activism
- True revolutionary energy has been co-opted into a perpetual “revolutionary faith,” never reaching a resolution, and increasingly weaponized for technocratic purposes.
- Left-right politics is a managed false dialectic going back to the French Revolution.
- Modern politics is “America’s true religion—civic nationalism.” (1:39:07)
- Quote: “Politics itself is a scam...most elections don’t really matter.” (1:37:00)
3. Education & Academia
- Modern education described as social engineering—debt machines, ideological indoctrination, and charity/NGO graft.
- Jay references canonical exposés (Charlotte Iserbyt, Norman Dodd), decrying compartmentalized, intentionally siloed academic departments.
- “Our society is hyper-organized...chaos is part of the structure.” (1:57:48)
4. The Environment/Climate Change Industry
- Highlights the shift from 1970s Ice Age panic to global warming hysteria, exposing how “experts” (e.g., Leonard Nimoy, Walter Cronkite) flip narratives to fit policy or profit incentives.
- Quote: “All they did was change the propaganda, dummies. That’s all they do. If you can’t figure that out, then there’s no hope for you.” (2:03:23)
- Satirizes contemporary bug-protein and “circular economy” trends as scams sold by the same corporate/NGO networks.
5. Renting & Circular Economy
- Zoomers’ focus on landlord exploitation misses the coming technocratic model (pushed by BlackRock, WEF, and “Ida Auken’s” ‘I own nothing and am happy’ mantra).
- Forecasts a future of “Klaus as your global landlord,” where everything is leased.
- Quote: “When the zillionaire scammers who run all this share things, then I will believe in your circular economy...Otherwise, you are a con artist and you’re trying to scam me.” (2:13:55)
6. Food Pyramids, Health & Pharma
- Attacks government food guidelines (e.g., grain-heavy food pyramids), industrial agriculture, and pharma as health scams.
- Promotes organic supplements (like show sponsor Chalk.com) versus mainstream drugs.
7. Science/Scientism & Peer Review
- Highlights the peer review industry (citing James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian’s “grievance studies hoax”) as a scam where ideological conformity trumps truth.
- Science is increasingly a tool for policy-driven fraud—environmental science as a nexus point.
8. Fake Flags, False Wars, Staged Events
- Revives the “starter event” for wars (e.g., Lusitania, Tonkin, false flags)—conspiracies are the norm, not the exception.
- Normalcy bias, gatekeeping, and managed chaos as features of structural deception.
9. The Great Reset (Klaus, WEF, Davos, etc.)
- All previous scams converge in the technocratic reshaping of society (tracked, leased, digital currency, bug-food future).
- Quote: “A Voltron of scammery united together in one giant fake and gray scam: The Great Reset.” (2:15:09)
10. Transhumanism
- The “final scam”: a con for human immortality or digital utopia, promoted by elites who “want you to believe they’re giving you life extension while plotting depop.”
- Reminds audience: tech is double-edged, and projects for the 99% are rarely what they seem.
- Quote: “You think Gil Bates wants to give you immortality? ...How dumb are you?” (2:17:16)

Summary for Non-Listeners
Jay Dyer’s “Top 10 Scams” isn't just a list of infamous frauds; it’s a challenging, darkly comic re-framing of how a sophisticated web of scams—from fiat currency to education, activism, science, corporate health, and transhumanist futurism—form the very operating system of our world. Dyer insists that if you can recognize the grifts of MLMs, landlords, and start-up hucksters, you should be brave enough to see that the structure of society itself is built on lies, half-truths, and managed chaos, all pushed by an arrogant class of global managerial elites. Through historical, philosophical, and pop culture lenses, and plenty of wild humor, he urges a more radical skepticism—not cynicism, but real discernment—about the motivations and mechanisms that shape our lives. He leaves listeners laughing, thinking, and maybe, a little less trusting of the next “solution” handed down from above.
