  • NEED SOME PASSPORTS??https://citizenx.com/?ref=PlausiblyDeniableAlex from CitizenX joins Plausibly Deniable to explain the strange, funny, and increasingly important world of buying citizenship.We talk about why wealthy people are collecting passports, how citizenship by investment actually works, why Europe is cracking down on “golden passport” programs, and why more people are treating passports as geopolitical insurance. Alex breaks down the difference between residency, citizenship, and passports; the main tiers of citizenship programs; why El Salvador’s passport is different; and why places like Switzerland, Singapore, the UAE, Hong Kong, and the U.S. keep attracting millionaires even as the global order gets more unstable.We also get into exit taxes, global taxation, real estate risk, prepper psychology, offshore banking, prediction markets, insider trading rules, and why the best flex might not be a Rolex anymore — it might be seven passports.Sponsored by:Polymarket: https://polymarket.comZcash: https://z.cashCitizenX: https://citizenx.comNetwork Press: https://network.press_______________________________Plausibly Deniable: https://plausiblydeniable.orgLukas: https://x.com/SCHIZO_FREQSaila: https://x.com/sailaunderscore00:00 Passport flexing is the new Rolex flex00:46 Intro: Alex from CitizenX01:36 What CitizenX does03:00 Is “buying a passport” actually legal?05:51 Why the EU hates citizenship by investment07:11 Rich people want poor-country passports10:01 Who buys second passports?11:36 Crypto, trucker protests, and country risk12:46 Global taxation and FATCA14:34 The EU asset register17:15 Where wealthy people move19:12 Why UAE, Singapore, and Switzerland are hard to naturalize in20:49 Why Americans give up citizenship22:40 The decline of the U.S. passport25:12 Brazil, BRICS, and neutral passports27:31 The future of passports and individual surveillance29:28 The three tiers of citizenship programs30:49 The cheapest passports33:33 Caribbean citizenship programs36:29 Germany, conscription, and European demand38:45 Geopolitical chaos as passport marketing41:13 Pavel Durov, UAE citizenship, and state protection43:35 El Salvador’s million-dollar passport45:21 Where millionaires are moving48:10 How to design a good citizenship program53:00 What passport programs actually cost57:00 “Donation” vs buying citizenship1:01:00 Can you own too many passports?1:05:00 Passport portfolios and the ultimate flex1:09:00 Exit vs voice: preppers, bunkers, and passports1:13:00 Drafts, national identity, and exit planning1:18:00 Privacy, Swiss servers, and client secrecy1:23:00 Remote islands, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay1:28:00 U.S. polarization and internal exit1:34:00 Passports as downside protection1:39:00 Real estate as national-risk exposure1:45:00 Prediction markets and forecasting1:50:00 Insider trading, regulation, and Polymarket1:56:00 Final riffs and outro

  • Vegas is no longer pretending to be normal.This episode starts with the Enhanced Games, Polymarket’s viral “steroid Olympics” coverage, the strange incentives around performance enhancement, and why people misunderstood what the first Enhanced Games actually proved. Then we get into the anthropology of modern Vegas: male models, status games, fake DJ sets, clubbing where nobody talks to each other, and a dating culture where the photo has replaced the actual interaction.

    We also cover TSA house rules, American tort law, why healthcare and contact lenses are so much more annoying in the U.S., European models reading Curtis Yarvin, the collapse of normal social scripts, and why every modern public interaction feels like five layers of game theory.Sponsored by Polymarket, Zcash, CitizenX, and Passage Press.Sponsored by:

  • In this episode of Plausibly Deniable, the boys investigate the greatest arbitrage in modern America: food trucks, male slop, crockpots, Discord servers, fake enterprise software, BlueAnon, healthcare middlemen, manifesto technology, European decline, and a raccoon bite story that probably should have gone to a doctor.

    They also get into Polymarket AI model markets, why Discord should just rebrand itself as Slack for adults, why cooking for one person is fake productivity, whether every market can be explained with rugs, and why the modern political internet keeps producing increasingly deranged mythology.Sponsored by:Polymarket: https://polymarket.comZcash: https://z.cashCitizenX: https://citizenx.comNetwork Press: https://network.press_______________________________Plausibly Deniable: https://plausiblydeniable.orgLukas: https://x.com/SCHIZO_FREQSaila: https://x.com/sailaunderscore

  • Christian Angermeyer joins Plausibly Deniable to discuss the Enhanced Games, performance-enhancing drugs, psychedelic medicine, longevity, telehealth, ambition, and building companies around controversial ideas before they become mainstream.

    Christian argues that the debate around performance enhancement is stuck in moral panic, bad incentives, and missing data. He explains why the Enhanced Games are designed not just as a sports spectacle, but as a research and media platform: athletes competing with medically supervised enhancement, data being collected at scale, and a broader business built around health, recovery, and human performance.

    We also get into the ethics of PEDs, whether banning enhancement actually harms athletes, why recovery may be the real performance unlock, how psychedelics went from fringe to medical legitimacy, what founders misunderstand about ambition, and Christian’s path from European finance to building and selling a major African banking group.

    Absolutely none of this is medical, financial, or spiritual advice

  • Lomez joins Plausibly Deniable for a long conversation on the old internet, the rise of online politics, academia, Gamergate, Twitter, AI, prediction markets, publishing, and the strange incentives of modern work.

    We talk about Lomez’s path from an early remote job at Google to academia, how 2014-era campus politics pushed him online, the evolution of the dissident right, the social justice warrior era, the shifting meaning of “woke is over,” and how internet subcultures moved from fringe jokes to real political force.

    We also get into Passage Press, Lomez’s publishing company, including its role in preserving online writing, publishing controversial or neglected work, and building something closer to the “real economy” than most internet projects. Check out Passage Press and use promo code PD10.

    Later, the conversation turns to AI, Claude vs ChatGPT, the tech right, Bannon-style anti-tech populism, X vs YouTube, bot accusations, gender war discourse, office jobs, girlboss marketing, and whether the “normie job” fantasy is actually just another internet mirage.

  • Today, we sit down with the legendary Alexander Campbell, former prop trader at Lehman Brothers during the '08 crisis and ex-head of commodities at Bridgewater

    He unpacks his viral (and wildly profitable) silver trade, breaking down why the massive demand from solar panel production has created the perfect setup for a historic supply squeeze. (Follow his substack btw: https://www.campbellramble.ai/)

    We also take a deep dive into the macroeconomic landscape, dissecting why Ray Dalio was a dollar bear, how the US suffers from financial "Dutch disease," and why stablecoins are actually incredibly bullish for the US Dollar's reserve status

    Campbell pulls back the curtain on the Chinese financial system, explaining the 200% market manipulations and the reality of their wealth management products

    Plus, we cover the death of legacy media, the value of prediction markets like Polymarket, why most "preppers" have terrible supply chain strategies, and where the real alpha is hiding in agriculture and AI infrastructure. Hit subscribe, drop a comment, and enjoy the alpha

  • In this episode, we sit down with Beaver (@beaver_d on X), the investigative mind behind Somali Scan, a platform dedicated to tracking federal and state spending that was previously "obfuscated" by archaic government portals. Beaver explains how he utilized AI to process over 800 million rows of SQL data, tracking roughly $70 trillion in spending—a feat he claims would have required $5 billion and a small army of employees just five years ago.We explore the "four levels of bad" regarding taxation, the specific mechanics of NGO money laundering, and shocking case studies like Indiana's foster care system spending $1.4 billion annually on only 12,000 children. From the "article slop-ocalypse" on X to the "male-manipulator" coding of various AI models, this conversation is an unfiltered look at the intersection of technology, transparency, and political corruption.

  • Lukas and Sails sit down with Renan Santos—the strategist behind the Free Brazil Movement (MBL) and current Brazilian presidential candidate. Renan shares the incredible story of how he "hostilely acquired" a leftist riot by convincing the police he was the leader, effectively stealing the momentum of his political rivals.We dive deep into the mechanics of Brazilian power, from the corrupt police systems of the interior to the "fitness girl" scandals currently rocking the nation’s highest offices. Renan outlines his radical vision for Brazil’s future, including a plan to "exterminate" the very concept of the favela, reform an education system that has left kids unable to read, and navigate a world where realpolitik has replaced the post-war liberal order.Topics Covered:The Art of the Takeover: How Renan outmaneuvered leftist leaders to lead their own protests.The Break with Bolsonaro: Why the MBL moved away from the former president to build a new Right.Aesthetics & Power: Why the new generation of Brazilian conservatives is winning by abandoning "ugly" boomer aesthetics.Global Realpolitik: The impact of Trump, China’s "meritocratic" model, and Brazil's struggle for true sovereignty.Social Engineering: Radical takes on Ozempic, banning "billionaire vampire" romances, and restoring masculinity in the ghetto.Education Reform: Why Brazil is returning to phonics and militarized discipline in schools
