Exactly this. The financial system is designed to extract wealth globally and funnel it to well connected elites and the organizations they control. It’s not even a secret or a conspiracy, since all of the information is in the public domain. Rather the strategy is to maintain social stability, since for most people as long as their standard of living is stable or slightly improving, they won’t bother to take actions to defect from this system (such as buying assets that are not primarily in USD)
You can get your own evidence for his claim, starting points to look: previous banking crisises, why the latest banking crisis happened, how banks buy bonds/treasuries, how they are valued in relation to interest rates, how the fed controls interest rates & therefore bond valuations & therefore bank collateral, what a bank deposit from a customer really means for a bank, what fractional reserve is, how the COVID rules meant bank reserves had no minimum, why banking cannot possibly be solvent at a single point in time, what money is backed by, what happens if a bank breaks the rules, who decides if they break the rules & what incentive does that regulator have to actually crack down on crime (because their employees have higher aspiratations), how many US banks are consistency & constantly fined for fraud, how banks relied on fed interest rate guidance & how that relates to their duration mismatch of depsosits/investments
