Israel has just picked WWIII attacking Iran and killing over 100 in the process.  Two bombs were remotely detonated at an Iranian Holy grave site for martyrs.  The perpetrators are believed to be the Mossad and possibly the CIA.   The reason?   The Western Cabal is losing.   Losers tend to bomb without strategy.  They fight randomly – like mentally unstable psychopaths.   The only thing missing from the Doctor Doom scenario is his white cat.   But that was just a movie… </strong></p>
<p>What did Iran do to cause this maelstrom?   They exist.   Palestinians are Sunni.  Iran is Shia. This is NOT a war against terrorists, this is a war against the entire Middle East to deflect from the Zionist takeover of the West World.   To deflect from the Mossad involvement in the creation of Epstein Island.   To deflect from their involvement in taking down the Twin Towers and blaming the Middle East – resulting in the largest most costly war in history.   To deflect from their creation of ISIS to kill everyone – but Jews.</p>
<p>In 2022, Blinken, Egypt, UAE, Morocco, Bahrain and Israeli officials met in the Negev desert to discuss how and when they would destroy Iran and Palestine.  They posed for a group photo all giggles and hand holding to solidify their alliance in wiping earth of these Muslim peoples – Sunni and Shia.
<p>Oddly, Iran, Egypt, UAE and Ethiopia just signed on to the BRICS alliance.   Israel is persona non grati.   The BRICS allegiance is purely peaceful trade, there is no other agenda other than mutual prosperity.   A novel idea that infuriates every Western Cabalist government.  Which is likely the main reason Israel attacked Iran.  Rage.</p>
<p>Despite the monarchial governments of the Middle East juggling ties with the US and Israel, the people of these nations are in solidarity with their Muslim brothers in Palestine.   Thus a schism widens unless these monarchies clean house and realize allies are only allies as long as they do the bidding of Zion.  Otherwise their lavish cities will become fodder of bombs.  Like Iran.  Like Yemen.  Like Lebanon.  Like Syria.</p>
<p>The Cabal has no honor or loyalty, they only have Power.  Extending the War in Ukraine – extending the war in Israel – are the last hurrah of the fireworks display before it ends.   There may be a fire or two on the ground, but too much information has been released to retract.   And the House of Cards is tumbling like dominoes.   Just ask Kevin Spacey.</p>
<p>Iran has already stated that vengeance will be swift citing US and Israel complicity in the strike.   Hezbollah has vowed revenge for the Israeli drone strike in Beirut killing seven.  Turkey has arrested 34 Mossad agents in the country and Israel just keeps bombing without any consequence.   The pressure cooker is going to explode and the CIA and Mossad will be central to aftermath.</p>
<p>The strategy of giving aged stockpiles of weapons to Israel and Ukraine so that the US can deflect the ‘aid money’ back to the Pentagon and new weapon production was the brainchild of Blinken and Austin.  The problem?   They depleted inventories before consigning new contracts.  Thus the US, Israel and Ukraine are staring into the abyss of drag time.   It is no different than quitting a good job before lining up a new job…  But then neither Austin or Blinken are strategists – they are desk jockeys.  Blinken graduated with a bachelor in history before earning his law degree and never practicing…   Oddly, Columbia Law School doesn’t recognize Blinken in any of their notable graduates.   Nor do they seem to recognize Obama in their notable alumni.</p>
<p>Democrat, Bob Menendez, is accused of taking bribes from Egypt and Qatar.  Gold bars, a Mercedes, Cashola, are a few of his favorite things.   And suddenly the impeachment on Biden is moot and mute.   But Biden just extended US allegiance to Qatar…  via a ten year extension of of the largest Middle East military base operation of the US.   What bribe was offered?   Where is Mike Johnson?</p>
<p>Good ole Mikey is at the border taking a photo-op with 60 cabinet members as they look at the nonwall crisis.   Fark, the nonwall crisis has been ongoing for THREE YEARS!   Looking at it – again – is not going to stop the flow.   It is not going to do anything but scrape a nail on a chalkboard.  Ouch that hurt my ears.   So how much did my stocks make today?  Johnson has proven to be yet another blowhard.</p>
<p>Israel’s Netanyahu has come up with a solution for the Palestinians…   he wants to voluntarily send them to the Congo.   Voluntary means go or I will shoot your brains out and every living relative.   The Congo is a death trap.  The Congolese are now one of the major illegal immigrant marauders crossing from Mexico into the US.   Africans have replaced Hispanics.   Africans with diseases unchecked.   County health officials are now warning staff that immigrant health centers in the US are overwhelmed with Malaria, TB, Dengue, Polio, and unknown diseases.</p>
<p>The CDC is pushing every vaccine imaginable.   But 60 Cabinet members are visiting the Border


Updating Lamm’s Plan To Destroy America: End Home Ownership, Immiserate Americans, Incite Anti-White Hate
VDare
James Kirkpatrick
06/20/2021

Veteran immigration patriots will recall Governor Richard Lamm [D-CO] and his famous 2003 speech “I Have a Plan to Destroy America” .He outlined nightmarish proposals that have now become unchallengeable public policy: making America a bilingual country; encouraging multiculturalism instead of assimilation to the Historic American Nation; promotion of divided loyalties; and, perhaps most presciently, getting “the big foundations and big business to give these efforts a lot of money” in the cause of “Victimology.” From the perspective of even just 15 years ago, America looks conquered and the Regime Media wants to finish the job of dispossession [The Washington Post: Treat America Like a Conquered Nation, by Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, June 11, 2021]. I’d like to update Governor Lamm’s speech with what’s going on today.

My revised plan to destroy America would have three parts:

First, make sure ordinary Americans can’t own property and thus build wealth by increasing equity in their homes.
Second, immiserate Americans with low wages and create a second permanent underclass by what President Joe Biden has called “unrelenting” mass immigration.
Finally, systematically teach those groups who are already given special privileges, protections and set-asides by government that they are actually oppressed and need to demand more.
All three elements of the program are in place today. If you want to see what our future looks like, it’s probably South Africa but worse.

First, let’s consider the question of property ownership. A popular meme quotes from a video from the World Economic Forum, a “non-governmental organization” that helps organize some of the most powerful people in politics, economics, and culture in pursuit of common goals.  A video from this group in 2018 tells us that in the near future “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.”

Reuters assures us this is taken out of context and is simply a possible prediction and an attempt to “start a discussion” [Fact check: The World Economic Forum does not have a stated goal to have people own nothing by 2030, February 25, 2021].

 Of course, given that the World Economic Forum is also where “The Great Reset” (also promoted by Time) and the endlessly repeated “Build Back Better” slogans come from, perhaps we should be a little suspicious of the Regime Media’s assurances and start to wonder where this “discussion” is going [To build back better, we must reinvent capitalism. Here’s how, by Peter Bakker and John Elkingo, World Economic Forum, July 13, 2020].

If anything like one of the Regime Media’s “conversations about race,” it’s going to be something more like a screeching lecture from our rulers.

Thus, Bloomberg tells us that home ownership is probably going to be out of the question for most Americans but this is actually a good thing.

Rising real-estate prices are stoking fears that homeownership, long considered a core component of the American dream, is slipping out of reach for low- and moderate-income Americans. That may be so — but a nation of renters is not something to fear. In fact, it’s the opposite.

Of course, this is the exact opposite of the “Affordable Family Formation” that a serious country would pursue for its citizens or constituents. The financialization of the housing market means that people can’t build up equity and wealth by owning and developing property. A country of renters isn’t a country at all, but simply a conglomeration of consumers who have no ties to any locality, community, or people.

Perhaps that’s the point.

Interestingly enough, someone can afford to buy all those homes. It turns out that it’s BlackRock, among other investment firms [BlackRock, other investment firms ‘killing the dream’ of home ownership, journalist says, by Charles Creitz, Fox News, June 12, 2021]. BlackRock is the largest asset manager in the world and one of the leading champions of Woke Capital [Larry Fink’s 2021 letter to CEOs, Blackrock].

Ben Shapiro assures us that this is all just fine, the free market at work and all that.

He doesn’t mention that BlackRock essentially operates as an arm of the government, helping the Fed manage bailout payments and bond purchases [Massive bailout leaves Wall Street giant exposed to fire from all sides, by Victoria Guida, Politico, June 7, 2020].

As is so often the case on every issue that matters, the liberal media is on the same side as Respectable Right opinion [“This is wealth redistribution”: Blackrock and other Institutional Investors Buying Entire Neighborhoods At Huge Premiums, by “Tyler Durden,” ZeroHedge, June 12, 2021].

All agree the real problem isn’t BlackRock, but local governments who don’t want their communities turned into overdeveloped urban hellscapes.

BlackRock Is Not Ruining the U.S. Housing Market, by Derek Thompson, The Atlantic, June 2021
The Problem With the ‘BlackRock Buying Houses’ Meme, by David Dayden, The American Prospect, June 16, 2021
Wall Street isn’t to blame for the chaotic housing market, by Jerusalem Demsas, Vox, June 11, 2021
And, wouldn’t you know it, the Biden Administration is advancing a plan, under the guise of “infrastructure,” that would prevent communities from limiting neighborhoods to single-family housing. It’s simply a continuation of the “flood the suburbs” agenda the Obama Administration pursued with its housing policy [AFFH: Four Letters that Spell TROUBLE, by Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, September 18, 2020].

Who will be populating these emerging favelas? Naturally, the worldwide flood of migrants (legal and illegal) that are coming to America now that border enforcement has essentially been abolished. Illegal immigration has surged by 674% from last May [Ted Cruz Wallops Joe Biden For Touring Europe Instead Of Inspecting Southern Border Crisis, by Wendell Husebo, Breitbart, June 15, 2021].

President Biden is already seeking to expand legal immigration, which will further the already disastrous housing conditions in tech hubs like San Francisco [Biden Aims to Rebuild and Expand Legal Immigration, by Michael Shear and Zolan Kanno-Youngs, New York Times, May 31, 2021].

This process leads to a negative feedback cycle. Progressives move away from cities suffering from soaring costs of living and crime and go to conservative areas, where they vote in the same destructive process they just fled [COVID-19 Set America’s Housing Market On Fire. That Could Alter U.S. Politics For A Generation, by Peter Lane Taylor, Forbes, March 11, 2021]. One is reminded of the “locust” aliens from Independence Day traveling from place to place, leaving desolation in their wake.

This population pressure from mass immigration is a feature, not a bug, from the Progressive perspective. The combination of endless immigration, population increase, and urbanization ensures a permanent Progressive majority.

It also means that any allegedly Progressive goals, such as reducing inequality or protecting the environment, become impossible to achieve. But who cares about that when you have power?

Of course, there’s a final ingredient for this program of national deconstruction to work. There must be eternal racial conflict and powerful incentives for people not to assimilate to a common culture. This is where Critical Race Theory comes in.

Perhaps uniquely in the history of the world, the American government is actually inciting its population into a state of permanent resentment and lawlessness, creating an ever-swelling parasitic class. There is no point at which “equity” can realistically be attained. And so the racket will continue forever.

We are already trapped in this situation with African-Americans, the bulk of whom at least have the excuse of having been brought here as slaves. (Vice President Kamala Harris does not have that excuse, her cringe-inducing attempts to relate to most black Americans notwithstanding.)

Mass immigration means that we are importing another permanent underclass, incentivized and rewarded by academia, media and the government into destroying American institutions.

The “country” will emerge at the other end of this process will be barely worthy of the name. It will be a landmass full of shiftless, random consumers desperately trying to flee each other but trapped by permanent financial serfdom. There will be no uniting culture, ethnicity, or even political myth. There will be just permanent, simmering conflict with an increasingly authoritarian government using naked repression against the naïve white Americans who keep the failed experiment stumbling along.

If I were deliberately trying to destroy the country, I wouldn’t be doing anything differently than what our rulers currently are.

If there’s one problem with Governor Lamm’s speech, it’s that he didn’t anticipate just how malevolent our Hostile Elite really is.

ALADDIN: The Most Powerful Political Force In The World Today

Meet Aladdin, the computer “more powerful than traditional politics”
How a single computer system came to influence the value of vast swathes of the world’s financial assets.
By Will Dunn

The winter of early 1993 was a cold one in New York; the beginning of February saw the mercury drop below -13°C. Each morning of that winter Jody Kochansky would arrive at 6.30am at the Manhattan offices of BlackRock, and begin going through the printouts.

“I’m not a big morning person,” Kochansky admits. To compound the early start, the first job of the day was also the most arduous: “to take the risk reports, to flip the pages and literally to compare the portfolio as it looked today versus the portfolio as it looked the previous day, by hand.” The first web browser would not be created until later that year; “the delivery mechanism was paper”, but Kochansky and his team found a solution. “We said, let’s take this data, and rather than print it out, let’s sort it into a database, and have the computer compare the report today versus the report yesterday, across every position.”

From a simple time-saving system designed while most of New York was still in bed, BlackRock’s computer system has grown into the “operating system” for a company that has itself grown into the world’s largest manager of financial assets. The system, now known as Aladdin, inhabits multiple datacentres – warehouses filled with servers – and is used by around 13,000 BlackRock employees and thousands more people at the company’s clients, who pay for the analysis the system provides.

This is how much money Aladdin manages: if you took every last cent out of every bank in every country in the world, emptied the wallets and pockets and penny jars of all 7.6 billion people, if you rummaged down the back of every sofa and emptied every till and safe until you collected every scrap of currency in the world, you would have a pile of cash worth around five trillion dollars. The total value of assets under management by BlackRock is $6.3 trillion. But Aladdin also delivers risk analysis on the assets managed by its clients, which are valued at more than double that amount. Overall, Aladdin has an effect on the management of around ten per cent of the world’s financial assets, or around $20 trillion. Over 25 years, it has grown into a system that is directly or indirectly responsible for more than four times the value of all the money in the world.

The fact that Aladdin demonstrates about financial technology is that it is not the technology itself that creates success, but how it is used. Kochansky says broker-dealers were using powerful mainframe computers to understand the risks that applied to different investments as far back as the 1980s. BlackRock’s founders invested in new “workstations” – “cheaper computers, that cost tens of thousands rather than millions”. Their innovation was to use the cheaper computing power not only to sell securities, as others did, but to know the true value of what they were buying.

How does a computer know how risky something is? Kochansky says that the mathematics “can be fairly complex”, but that Aladdin uses “Monte Carlo simulations”, among other models, “to try to see what happens to the security under different kinds of environments”. A Monte Carlo simulation is a type of algorithm that simulates the messy unpredictability of the real world within the deterministic order of mathematics. To do this, it uses random numbers to calculate not exactly what will happen, but what is likely to happen.

When BlackRock began applying this type of mathematics to building portfolios, they were run on a single Unix workstation that was “literally the desktop computer for the trader,” Kochansky remembers. “But then at night we would use the compute resource to run our bond analytics, and the next morning the portfolio manager would get a fancy report that other buy-side organisations couldn’t get.” The “fancy report” would contain risk analytics on “everything they owned. Every single day, our portfolio managers could see the risk on their entire portfolio.” Today, when analytics are applied to everything from training athletes to selling deodorant, this would be expected, but in the early 1990s BlackRock was the first and only company to use data in this way.

“Nowadays the hot topic is fintech,” say Kochansky. “I like to think that we were one of the earliest fintechs.”

But BlackRock soon realised that the system should not just calculate risk. The next step was to use the system for “position-keeping, record-keeping, and control”. The reason for this was that at the time, with risk calculated separately from positions, analytics were always one step behind trading. “We realised that if you know how risky a security is, but you don’t know how much you own, you don’t really know your risk,” he explains. “You ultimately have to marry the risk calculations at the security level with the portfolio holdings to truly get a view of risk. We needed to know how much we owned.”

This insight was particularly important in the autumn of 1994, in the wake of a crisis in the bond market remembered by Fortune magazine as “the Great Bond Massacre”. As bond prices fell, General Electric began looking for a buyer for a Wall Street broker-dealer that it owned. “They went to other broker-dealers,” Kochansky remembers, “and said, hey, we’ve got this complex portfolio, can you provide a bid for it – in other words, how much would you pay me for it?” The bids GE received were low – “much lower than they had expected.” Kochansky says this “makes sense, because they were trying to move a big block of securities” – companies rarely get top dollar for their stock during a closing-down sale. The answer was to have BlackRock manage the portfolio, gradually selling it over time.

Kochansky and his team “literally pulled three all-nighters in a row. We modelled the entire portfolio. It was very painful, lots of coffee. But when we were done – wow.” Incorporating a broker-dealer system into Aladdin was, says Kochansky, “the moment when we realised that the platform was capable of doing a lot of things that we hadn’t even contemplated at that time.”

By the mid-1990s, the system was able to “rebalance” portfolios “in more automated ways”. Once a portfolio manager knew how risky their portfolio was and how much they owned of every security, they would look to invest in other securities, and Aladdin was designed to adjust the portfolio, to balance automatically the risk being introduced. It was in this way that Aladdin was given, says Kochansky, “the ability to interact with the marketplace. In those early days, in the mid to late 90s, the vast majority of trading in fixed-income was really based on the telephone. People would pick up the phone and offer two-year notes and that kind of thing. So as the electronification of the marketplace was happening, we were building out the market-facing technologies.”

In 1999, BlackRock went public at $14 a share. Kochansky points to other moments in the firm’s history when the company and its technological core had to be recalibrated. In 2006, BlackRock acquired Merrill-Lynch investment managers and “we suddenly became very international, and we became very equity”. But it was the financial crisis of 2008 that really proved Aladdin as a significant influence on the global economy. As the government struggled to make sense of the febrile financial markets, asking an investment bank to help value the rest of Wall Street would have been, Kochansky puts it diplomatically, “a potential conflict”. “And so I think as these governments – it wasn’t just the US government – looked around and asked who had the capabilities to gain the insight into what’s happening in these portfolios, that’s a relatively short list.” Unlike an investment bank, BlackRock does not trade its own capital. This fact, coupled with its analytical prowess, gave it an unparalleled ability to value the twelve-figure refinancing deals needed to keep the US economy afloat. In 2010, Vanity Fair reported that “BlackRock has effectively become the leading manager of Washington’s bailout of Wall Street”. BlackRock’s share price at time of writing was $521.

The simulated economy

While the world has changed dramatically since Kochansky started at BlackRock in 1992, he says that “a lot of the mindset that was created then propagates today. The principles are the same. What we nowadays call Aladdin – at the time, it didn’t really have a name – is the operating system for BlackRock.”

In 1994, when Kochansky and his team worked for 72 hours to rewrite Aladdin for the first time, “the entire effort around Aladdin was maybe 40 or 50 people. Nowadays, within the Aladdin product group we have about 1,500 to 2,000 people that contribute to Aladdin in different forms.”

Physically, Aladdin occupies three datacentres in the United States. Unusually, these are owned by the company itself rather than a third party. The company is looking at opening a pair of datacentres in Europe. Kochansky says “it’s hard to characterise it exactly by number of computers, but one way to think about it is that we are running the risk analytics on tens of millions of securities.” Every individual security is valued through “thousands and thousands of Monte Carlo simulations, and each simulation is a matter of creating an economic scenario that’s based in statistical grounding. One security manifests as millions of scenarios. So, we are running billions and billions of scenarios every single night and throughout the day.”

In a typical day, Kochansky adds, the cloud-based system will pass “tens of billions of messages” to distribute analytics to users and clients.

Every security that is analysed goes through “the economy process”, which Kochansky describes as valuation in the context of every data point BlackRock can gather than might affect the economy – “a real-time snapshot of all sorts of market information. So, anything you could imagine that’s going on in the marketplace – what are the Treasury rates, what’s the shape of the yield curve, what’s going on in equities, what’s the state of volatility. In the case of mortgages, you want to know stuff about the rate of inflation, home price appreciation trends by zip code. We call that ‘the economy’.”

Every single one of the tens of millions of securities Aladdin analyses is valued against “hundreds of thousands of data points each day”, in thousands of different ways.

Too big to fail?

In December 2013 Stanley Pignall, the Economist’s finance correspondent, said of BlackRock that “it’s unprecedented to have a single firm that has such a grip on the way that not only itself, but its rivals, look at the world.” While Pignall said BlackRock was not “too big to fail” in the sense that some banks had been – as an asset manager it is not exposed to the same risks – he said the sheer size and power of the Aladdin platform had some economists spooked.

The reason, said Pignall, was that so much value is now managed using Aladdin that if, for example, JP Morgan, Deutsche bank and some of the world’s biggest sovereign wealth finds all use the same model, “the risk is that they start finding certain types of assets attractive, or unattractive, at the same time. You’d get a herding of investors,” Pignall suggested, similar to that “in 2008, when too many people started listening to the credit rating agencies, and started buying products that were linked to subprime real estate in the US.”

Kochansky answers that “it’s important to recognise that Aladdin itself does not predict the future at all. Aladdin tells you what you have in your portfolio. It doesn’t tell you what to buy.” There are, for Aladdin, no good or bad bets – there is only risk, in varying degrees.

“The enterprise clients have a separate instance of Aladdin,” he adds, “meaning that it’s all their own data, running on separate computers, separate databases. They dial the models based on their views of the markets, their views of risk. Aladdin doesn’t dictate to them how to run their business.”

Nor is Aladdin the only system in play. “Keep in mind that the models in Aladdin are based on historical data. There are many providers in the marketplace that provide risk models based on historic data. Our models are world-class, but we’re not the only model provider in the world,” says Kochansky. Elsewhere, behemoths such as MSCI Barra and Bloomberg offer their models and systems that may influence still more value even than Aladdin. While Kochansky admits, memorably, that “$20 trillion sounds like a lot of money,”there may be, “in the grand scheme of the capital markets”, models that have still greater influence.

The idea that computer systems and financial models of this sort quietly underpin the value of almost everything in the world (everything that can be invested in, anyway) could be either frightening or reassuring. The filmmaker Adam Curtis has described Aladdin as “a kind of power never seen before… more powerful in some respects than traditional politics.”

On the other hand, if the principal aim of such a vastly influential system is the management of risk, it could be the steady hand that the markets of the future will need . A powerful stabilising technology such as Aladdin could yet be the source of “Great Moderation” that neoliberalism tried to deliver.

Either way, Aladdin is set to become more powerful still. BlackRock’s $109bn research unit, the Systematic Active Equity division, has been investigating artificial intelligence for some time, and the company recently announced that it is building a new laboratory in California to develop this technology even further. As to what kind of future this creates for the world and its economy, Aladdin itself will probably be the first to know.

This is the story of ALADDIN, and how it – and BlackRock – took over Wall Street.
BlackRock has a secret weapon that has made it the most powerful company in the world: ALADDIN. If you’re ever wondered how Artificial Intelligence could impact our lives, here’s the answer. ALADDIN is the brainchild of Larry Fink, and it already controls more assets than the GDP than the US. It’s growing by $1 trillion to $2 trillion new assets in its control each year.

Transcript
What if I told you there is a robot that controls more wealth than any country on earth? A robot so powerful that in the last 10 years it has quietly created the biggest company in the world.

This is the story of a robot called ALADDIN. It’s Wall Street’s best kept secret and it’s gobbling up every asset class across every industry. ALADDIN now controls $21 trillion of our global economy. To put that in perspective, that’s more than the $20 trillion GDP of the US, or the $15 trillion GDP of the entire European Union.

Aladdin-NewStatesman
The New Statesman wrote, The total physical cash of all 7 billion people and every company, bank vault, wallet and piggy bank in the world, is around $5 trillion. ALADDIN has grown into a system responsible for more than four times the value of all the money in the world. (01)

This one robot directs the actions of the US Federal Reserve, almost every major bank and investment fund on Wall Street, and over 17,000 traders. It controls half of all ETFs, 17% of the bond market, 10% of the global stock market, and carries out a quarter of a million trades every day and billions of forecasts every week.

Year after year, it hoovers up trillions of data points on every market, every company, every asset and now even each of us, what we buy, sell and say, so that it knows what to buy and what to sell far better than any human being.

Every major bank, company and investment fund has come to rely on ALADDIN, and it’s all powerful AI and algorithms to beat the market. And if they didn’t, they’ve collapsed and failed in ALADDIN’s wake. And you know what the craziest part of this story is? This robot is just getting started, so where did ALADDIN come from and how did it get so powerful? (02)

ALADDIN is (reportedly) the brainchild of Larry Fink, the founder of BlackRock, and its total dominance has made his company the biggest shadow bank in the world, and the most powerful company on earth. (03) (04) (05)

(Note: He also sits on the boards of the Council on Foreign Relations and World Economic Forum, and is all in on the ESG (climate-gender-race) control over the world’s corporations) (06) (07) (08) (09)

The story we’re about to hear is equally unbelievable and terrifying. In fact, you would think it was science fiction if it wasn’t very real and happening today.

This story starts in the 1980s, when Larry Fink was making millions pioneering mortgage-back securities at Wall Street Bank, First Boston Corporation. That’s right, the same mortgage-back securities that caused the 2008 global financial crisis 20 years later. (10) (11)

But back in the 80s, he was in an epic Wall Street rivalry with Lewis Ranieri as Salomon Brothers (now a subsidiary of Citigroup), made famous as a ‘Big Swinging Dick’ in Michael Lewis’ book, Liar’s Poker. (12) (13) (14)

Back then, Larry was making millions for the bank and was on track to be First Boston’s CEO. And then in 1986, an error in the back office computer models led to Larry making the wrong trades and he lost the company $100 million. The result was Larry leaving the bank as a failure with the stupid computer to blame.

With that experience, Larry had just one ambition, to build a super smart robot that could pick out risk and opportunity in the market and do it better than any computer or human could do. In 1988, he launched a new startup BlackRock with a tiny coding team to give birth to this robot.

Its name? ALADDIN. Which stands for Asset, Liability And Debt Derivative Investment Network. (15)

In its first 10 years, ALADDIN was fed information about every asset, price movement, and risk variable in the global bond market, Larry’s specialty. And in 1999, when ALADDIN turned 11, ALADDIN was getting so intelligent at picking losers and winners that Larry began selling access to his data to other Wall Street firms. That same year, he took BlackRock public on the New York Stock Exchange. Straight after the IPO, the dot-com bust burst, pushing a wall of money from the stop market to bonds, which ALADDIN had become the undisputed world champion in. (16)

Within years, BlackRock had become a trillion dollar company and has money started shifting back to shares. What did Larry do? He bought the asset management arm of Merrill Lynch, which was focused on shares. (17)

So the gift for ALADDIN’s 18th birthday? All the data points for the entire stock market, and suddenly ALADDIN had a new playground, analyzing every stock trade and risk factor for every company on the stop market. As a result, today BlackRock, together with his two closest rivals, Vanguard and State Street, both of which also rely on ALADDIN’s mountain of knowledge, have become the biggest shareholders of over 40% of all public listed companies in America. (18)

2008, the global financial crisis hit, and before ALADDIN turns 21 years old, is caught on by every Wall Street bank and Timothy Geithner, the head of the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury. (19)

As soon as Lehman Brothers collapsed and the Wall Street meltdown began, the US government came calling to save the next collapsing bank, Bear Stearns. (20) (21) (22) (23)

It was ALADDIN who decided which assets to keep and which to leave in the $30 billion rescue package. And few people know it was a robot that saved America from disaster.

With that first success, the Fed, US government and now even European and Japanese central banks began relying on ALADDIN to make the cause and where the $2.5 trillion of new money they printed should go. The majority of it? Bonds and funding to prop up the mortgage companies and banks. But wait, aren’t these exactly the assets that ALADDIN and BlackRock already were invested in? Exactly. (24)

But growing protests of conflict of interest were drowned out by the noise of the printing presses, printing more money. (25)

As the assets controlled by ALADDIN rapidly grew to $11 trillion by 2013. In the last decade, ALADDIN has gone from the leader to the dominator of all financial markets. (26) (27)

iShares-BlackRock
BlackRockETF3tn
With BlackRock’s Barclays acquisition, it got iShares. Barclays exchange traded funds units or ETFs. And with that, ALADDIN moved from Dominator of Bonds and Equities to Dominator of ETFs, just as all the biggest investors shifted from mutual funds to ETFs. (28) (29) (30) (31) (32)

And that’s when in 2017, everything changed. On ALADDIN’s 29th birthday, Larry launched a top secret project at BlackRock code-named “Monarch”. (33)

Which led to the firing of his fund managers and replacing their funds with ALADDIN’s funds. The robot was now eliminating humans from the equation altogether. And as a result, today over 70% of all trades on US Stock Markets are decided by robots, with ALADDIN leading the way. These trades are completed from beginning to end without a human involved in high-frequency trading far faster than a human can execute.

Now, if this was just a story about a robot taking over the job of Wall Street traders, you might not be so concerned, unless you’re one of those traders. But in the last three years, as ALADDIN hit $20 trillion in assets, incredibly, it has begun to consume and control at an even faster rate.

Bloomberg-FinkWeTrust
Department-of-BlackRock
First, in 2020, as ALADDIN turned 32 years old, the US government and Federal Reserve again came calling as a pandemic hit. ALADDIN was again the one to guide the nation in what was now $4 trillion of newly printed money. Where did the money go this time? Inexplicably, for the first time, the Fed began buying ETFs in 2020. Well, that’s a little strange. And again, the cries of conflict of interest were drowned out by the money printing. (34)

And then, ALADDIN revealed its endgame.

Recently, BlackRock acquired EFront, which collects data on the things that you and I own, including private equity and real estate. And since then, ALADDIN has consumed EFront’s data on the entire global real estate market, and yep, you guess what happened next. (35)

27Mar2022-BlackRock-SingleFamily
2021-BetterDwelling-BlackRockBlackStone-BiddingWar
Over the last two years, BlackRock and other funds using ALADDIN’s data have begun buying up single-family homes, where they can afford to out-bed the rest of us as they have unlimited financing at hyper low interest rates. (36) (37) (38) (39) (40) (41) (42)

The result is home prices rising by 20% over the last two years and pushing now even big players like Zillow out of the market. (43) (44)

And here, we see ALADDIN’s endgame, to be the one hyper-intelligent AI robot that not just controls war-street assets, but all assets, public and private. Now, I’m not into conspiracy theories, but even a skeptic with eyes wide open can see the signs.

YouWillOwnNothing-AndBeHappy-WEF
DontWorry-IdBeHappyToRentItToYou
We’re already at a point where no one can compete without ALADDIN.

As CEOs and asset managers like Anthony Malloy are now saying, “Aladdin is like oxygen. Without it we wouldn’t be able to function”. (45)


And what about government regulation? Well, Joe Biden has appointed BlackRock executive Brian Deese as head of the National Economic Council, which basically means the oversight of ALADDIN and BlackRock is now the responsibility of BlackRock. (46) (47) (48)

And Biden has also appointed BlackRock Chief of Staff, Wally Adeyemo, to be assistant secretary of the Treasury, which means BlackRock is now the Treasury as well as the Treasury Advisor. (49) (50) (51)

And this story is far from over. The genie is out of the bottle, and ALADDIN has already reached a tipping point where one robot controls more wealth than any person or country. But as ALADDIN’s AI capabilities continue to grow, and with this rate of control rising by another trillion to two trillion dollars in new assets every year, it looks inevitable that war-street secret weapon could end up owning everything, and we end up owning nothing.

Jews wall street

In less than a week the Federal Reserve has been merged with the U.S. Treasury (implying it wasn’t always that way) and BlackRock, the world’s largest and most powerful financial services institution, has been put in charge of executing future acquisitions and trades.

Who is BlackRock? What do they own? And perhaps more importantly, what and who do they control? Jazz and James dive into BlackRock and uncover a significant portion of the apparatus by which U.S. politics are controlled and manipulated.

About the FTN and TRS podcasts:

FTN and the other podcasts on the TRS podcast platform have become required listening for anyone serious about understanding American politics. In a highly professional and competent manner, they analyze topics, including Jewish influence, that others won't.

The FTN podcast in particular is hard news focused, delivering fresh dissident angles on current events that ruthlessly challenge the mainstream narrative.

Some of their episodes are free to the public, while others are behind a $10 monthly paywall, probably the best value in American journalism today because you get access to several excellent shows for that price. We highly recommend Eric Striker's, (editor of the excellent National Justice website), and Mike Enoch's 'Strike and Mike' (1X per week) which are also more hard news focused. The Daily Shoah with Mike Enoch, Jesse Dunstan, and Alex McNabb, (3X per week), which is a less formal, Joe Rogan style radio talk show, is also excellent.

Transcript: the following is machine transcribed. There may be some errors.

[00:00:08] This nationalizing a large swath of the financial markets. Now we've talked about the financialization of the country that started really in the 1970s. With things occurring before the 1970s. But the actual financialization of the economy in 1970s really took off under Ronald Reagan. We did the Reaganomics demographic deep dive. Sorry, Reaganomics, demographic, death spiral, deep dive that we did over Labor Day in twenty nineteen. Very good podcast that we did on that detailing that it was took off under Reagan, took off in two fold under Clinton and has continued and they have used these various recessions.

[00:00:55] The last one was the 2008 financial crisis and this is the latest one actually they had the longest run, longest bull market run in a long time and it's only a matter of time the economy had to be reset and that's what they're doing with this right now. We've talked a lot about this being a restructuring, but this is formalizing this in a way that has never been done before. Now, the big headline that people are getting hung up on is the merger of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury into one organization, implying that they were separate independent organizations at any point ever.

[00:01:28] That's not actually the real story. We'll talk about what they're actually doing, because what they are doing is they're sort of just admitting that it's not it's not that anymore. Like before they would at least put up the pretense that they are separate organizations and they're independent and yadda, yadda, yadda. Now they're sort of dispensing with all of that. But the bigger news is that BlackRock's involvement. So let me walk through this here. So the you this this fits in with our narrative. Lots of confirmation bias. In the past few weeks, you've seen the Federal Reserve cutting rates by 150 basis points to near zero. And they have run through virtually the entire handbook for the 2008 crisis. They've done one rate cut after another, followed by an emergency rate cut. They added a million sorry, they added a trillion dollars a day in repo injections. They used emergency powers to create this commercial paper facility for pumping overnight liquidity into the market, literally making the money printer.

[00:02:31] Rigoberta?

[00:02:32] Yeah, it is. That's exactly what it is. It's literally a facility for Birx restart quantitative easing. Then they changed it to unlimited quantitative easing, which is just fancy speak for Birx agreed to purchase unlimited bonds for the first time ever agree to loan directly to corporations, which is something they've never done before then. Originally the stimulus was supposed to be a trillion. Then it became two trillion. Then it became six trillion. And so they've also added six hundred twenty five billion dollars worth of bond buying a week going forward.

[00:03:06] So if this continues implying that the Fed and the Treasury are two separate entities, the Fed is going to own two thirds of all of the T-bills in the market in less than a year. So it's I mean, this merger of the two is becoming formalized. They've brought back a lot of these acronyms that they had in the 2008 crisis, which were on a much smaller scale. And at that time, you had Bush 43 and Obama had handed over a lot of the control of these programs to Ben Bernanke. But this is all being run by Steve Manoogian now, who is the treasury secretary. And so you have the commercial paper funding facility, CPF F, which is going to be buying commercial paper from the issuer. You have the PMI, CCF, which is the primary market corporate credit facility, which is buying corporate bonds from the issuer.

[00:04:00] You have τα, which is the term Asset Backed Securities Loan Facility, which is a funding backstop for asset backed securities. You have S M CCF, the secondary market corporate kett Creek. You've got to have a backup, right? You have the primary market, a corporate credit facility, and then you have a secondary market, corporate credit facility.

[00:04:20] So they're gonna be buying corporate bonds and bond ETF in a secondary market. And then you have the M SB LP, Ms. Lope Main Street Business Lending Program, details to come. We don't have a lot of details about how Main Street is going to be helped out on this. But these are all organizations that were stood up back then. And so they learned a lot from then and they have realized that they need all of these sort of formalized in a way that can be controlled directly by the Treasury. Right.

[00:04:51] They don't have to pretend that the Fed is operating independently and loaning money to Detroit. I mean, it just doesn't it's the whole thing is just like. All right. Let's just drop this whole charade that we've been doing. Right. I mean, this is and as we pointed out, that. Emptied all of these things when I read through the list of all the rate cuts in repo injections and quantitative easing. Line kept going down line. Loved the six trillion dollar stimulus until Frady and then the line headed for the hills again, nine hundred point drop. So I don't know what it's going to be doing next week. It's going to be very volatile.

[00:05:28] But they're trying to stand all this up to keep things moving along, aren't they? James?

[00:05:34] Yeah, that's I mean, that's the plan. And actually things you can make an argument. They're going to be even worse. I would make an argument. We would make the argument. Things are going to be worse and more complex than they were 10 years ago back in 0 8 because of these new financial innovations and novel investment vehicles that have come online. Right. When you have the VA health. If B as this backstop for the asset backed securities and PMC ISEF buying these corporate bonds. Well, there have been new innovations in these markets since 0 8 where not only now we have the Fed back in back in 0 8, No. 9, they were buying up the mortgage backed securities.

[00:06:11] Right. And taking control of those. But that premise has been exported to other sectors, other security sectors. So you have now a student loan backed securities like we've talked about car loan, bundled securities like we've talked about, all of them organized a Sub-Prime prime, one star or three star. All of these ratings and the Fed is committed now to buying these buying these up with Treasury at this point as committed to buying these up. So you're going to have much more activity in these facilities, much more much more repurchasing going on than you had in 0 8. And that is just going to have cyclical downstream effects.

[00:06:49] It will. And it just the whole so it's this is buying time for the system. This is you know, obviously they had to do this in order to sustain it for what they hope is going to be another decade or two.

[00:07:02] They're trying to put this in place where they think it can go on forever. But what they're finding out is that it creates imbalance. Right. Like the 2008 crisis led to a lot of issues in the economy, but not it, not just in the economy, in the political world as well. It it it actually pushed people on both ends of the spectrum away from the kosher center. Right. You get people that are more interested in a Donald Trump than a Jeb Bush. You get people more interested in a Bernie Sanders than in a Joe Biden. And if they can steal the election, they will. But they didn't count on Donald Trump. And so, you know, now that he's been fully brought to heel, he's going to give Schlomo whatever the fuck line he wants.

[00:07:44] And that is if Trump wants that, too. Right. I mean, he's been he's been, you know, demanding that the central bankers use their power to force line at least 10000 points higher. I mean, he's so angry about no Dow 30000. And it's unlikely, especially if he doesn't win re-election, that he'll ever see Dow thirty thousand. And, you know, just imagine if he'd been able to convince them to do that. How much further this whole thing would have fallen because it's all froth. None of it's real. So the Fed essentially a.k.a. Treasury, one big organization, money printing Gober, they're going to finance these special purpose vehicles for each acronym that I mentioned above to conduct these operations.

[00:08:30] And so the Treasury is going to use these and become a each each SPV will be in a first loss position. So this means that the Treasury, formerly not implying formally, is going to be buying all the securities and backstopping loans and the Fed is going to be acting as the banker providing the financing. But really, it's just one entity. They're doing both. But the new the new kid on the block is BlackRock and BlackRock. We're going to talk a lot about BlackRock here in a minute. But they have agreed to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the S.P. v.'s on behalf of the Treasury.

[00:09:11] So this is this like totally not a government agency, right? The Fed and Treasury are being consolidated and then run by BlackRock. Essentially, it's what they're going to be doing. And that's to ensure that this continues beyond any presidential administration, beyond what anyone says or does and totally outside. I mean, what's what's the purpose of a Fed chairman at this point? It doesn't make sense. And so they've asked them to steer tens of billions of dollars of bond purchases. And they are BlackRock is the world's largest money manager. They will purchase commercial mortgage backed securities on behalf of the New York Fed.

[00:09:55] They will determine which securities are guaranteed by Fannie, Freddie and Ginnie Mae. I don't even know. Ginnie Mae existed in BlackRock will execute all the trades. It's like man must be nice to me. BlackRock actually gets. Sweetheart deal, had that happen? I mean, do they? Did they open this up for RFP and people submitted their different proposals to the government for managing this? James, I mean, it was this a fair competition or a day again? BlackRock's gonna do it.

[00:10:22] Yeah. Open bidding process, right? Everybody's. Yeah. All these contracting companies submitting their bids now didn't quite happen that way. And BlackRock has it. As it turns out, it's much more connected than than anybody really knew. And it has their hands in well. I mean, they have their hands in just about every corporation which we'll get into. But yeah. Now they're they're holding the reins of power for what, U.S. monetary policy?

[00:10:48] They can. Yes. And so the purpose of this. Just so people understand what was done both in the bailout bill and also outside of the bailout bill, this is a combination of all of these things. This essentially means that that the presidential administration, Donald Trump, will have more control over what happens with the Fed. And it's not this in this implied control that everybody believes isn't going on. But Donald Trump doesn't have to kick and scream to get Jerome Powell to do anything anymore.

[00:11:22] I mean, they can affect that control through the special purpose vehicles, through these Organa orphanages, organizations that have been stood up and essentially the old apparatus like it doesn't matter anymore. It's like just eroding that, blurring the line. There is no line. Like the only line that matters is the one that goes up or down and it better be going up according to them. And that essentially puts the levers of power from Steve Manoogian directly in the hands of Donald Trump and Jared Kushner. So, yeah, I mean, why even have a Fed chairman? Well, what does that make Donald Gerard at this point?

[00:11:56] Yeah, the Fed chairman becomes a ceremonial role at this point, largely dead.

[00:12:01] So let's talk about BlackRock here, because this is something that we touched on a little bit last week, last weekend. So remember last week we talked about Kelly Loffler on the Senate Health Committee. She sold up to 3.1 million dollars in stock starting on the day that her committee was briefed by the CDC. And of course, her husband is Jue Jeffrey SPRECHER, who is the founder, chairman of CEO of Intercontinental Exchange, otherwise known as ICE. He's also the chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. Of course, ISIS, we pointed out last weekend, was backed as a startup by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the year 2000. Shortly thereafter, SPRECHER was installed as CEO. Then ICE took over the New York Stock Exchange in 2012.

[00:12:48] And so that made SPRECHER the CEO of the NYSE. Then in 2014, SPRECHER purchased this Israeli company called Super Derivatives for 350 million dollars in all cash. It's based in Tel Aviv. It does a lot of business with, you know, companies like Deutsche Bank and Citigroup and Credit Suisse and Barclays. And so they are basically one of the many digital components that have allowed stock trades to be digitalized and fully automated.

[00:13:17] Well, isn't it funny how as of Monday, March 23rd, all U.S. stock markets officially closed their trading floor and went to purely electronic trading? Is that funny? Amazing. So, you know, it's better to have human traders on the floor. Most people agree with this. The problem with computers is they cause prices to fluctuate.

[00:13:39] They're also not you know, it's it's also like who knows what's actually going on, like who's in control of how the trading is taking place. And they've had problems before as well. There is this financial firm called Knight Capital where there was a glitch in the computer. People probably remember when this happened back in 2012. But it it essentially what did they do? It sold all of the stocks that it had bought the day before because of them, because of a glitch. So it bought all these stocks and made a bunch of money for Knight Capital. And then the next morning when it woke up, it sold them all. And yeah, they lost four hundred and forty million dollars over the course of of of a little under an hour. It was ten million dollars a minute in terms of what happened. I mean, my God. But that's that's like that's like the bad thing that happened to them. Think about all the the ways that this can be used to benefit them and not benefit you, which is really how the system is supposed to work.

[00:14:41] Yeah, because the average investor is someone who either invest directly or has a fund or they're not going to be looking at daily price fluctuations probably. And they're not going to be set to to, you know, cut their losses like these these computers are. And that's the other thing that computerized trading does is it will like once it's called a stop loss, when a stock price dips below a certain threshold, it will sell a percentage of its holdings. And so this is how you get part of how you get these wild price fluctuations. Hour by hour, you know, over the last three weeks, the market has been as volatile, reaching as many peaks and valleys as it does over a typical year long period. And this is due in large part because of this expansion in Internet online trading.

[00:15:28] Right. And essentially, the entire stock exchange is managed by a guy installed by Goldman Sachs. And a large portion of the electronic trading that is done is actually being done out of Israel by a super derivatives. And that's not the only company that does the electronic trades. But I mean. You know, this this idea that this is a big, free, open marketplace where any anybody can participate. And, you know, it's like, no, it's actually very Orwellian and controlled by a handful of people. In fact, just a couple of companies really sit at the top and think, people need to understand that you have to sort of I think a lot of our our guys understand how this works and have known for a while or at least maybe you've had the feeling that that's how this has been constructed. Well, let me prove it to you. So going back to BlackRock and Goldman Sachs.

[00:16:22] Right. They're not actually separate entities. BlackRock is the top investor in Goldman, along with Vanguard and strict State Street right after them. So together, Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street own 20 percent of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs, in turn, is who did the startup for ICE and then installed SPRECHER is the NYSE CEO. So in effect, BlackRock controls Goldman and Goldman controls Hertz Stock Exchange. And it's pretty, pretty hilarious. And when you look at BlackRock itself, founded in nineteen eighty eight by Larry Fink, who is still the CEO, Larry Fink is Jewish. In fact, I'm just going to read the names and I will tell you if they're not Jewish. How about that. We'll just do it that way.

[00:17:05] It's easier to do it that way. So Larry Fink, Robert S. cappato, Susan Wagner, Barbara Novick, Ben Golub, Q Frater back, guys. A Gentile, Ralph Shlash Stein. You think that guy's a gentile, James? I don't know. That's a tough one. Jesus and Keith Anderson also a gentle so out of the founders of BlackRock, six out of eight are Jewish. So who's calling the shots now? Again, same rules apply. I'm just gonna read the names and I'll tell you if they're not Jewish. So Larry Fink, Robert Capital still around. Rob Al Goldstein, Ben Golub, still around. Gary Shevlin. Derek Stein. Marc Weidmann. Marc Wiseman. Those are basically the guys that sit on cardboard jazz.

[00:17:51] It didn't hear you call it. Any exceptions to the rule there? Yes. It seems like all these guys are Jewish. The entire corporate board of BlackRock, Jeff.

[00:18:02] Wow. And so, yeah, of course. And Larry Fink, it's just like, oh, my God, when you look at the look at this guy and think think told the firm's 14000 employees that he is instituting potentially the most aggressive diversity program in corporate America and sharing that, quote, A bunch of white men will no longer be running the world's largest money management firm. Yes. So like you guys, where it's basically Stein, Golombek, Goldstein Capital think weideman Weizman. It's like, oh, yeah, but not that, though. Like that's going to remain intact. Yeah.

[00:18:36] Yeah. And do you think they're only applying that rule internally or are they applying that to the many corporations they have controlling stakes in as we'll get to.

[00:18:44] I wonder I wonder if if that theory trickles down. Yeah. And it's I mean they're going to be trying to mean the fact that they're handing it off. Know, Jamie Diamond had some heart issues I think in the last couple of weeks.

[00:18:58] And there were some articles talking about who he had groomed as his predecessors or sorry as his successors. I meant to say and one of them is Joseph Pinto, who's a subpart of Jew, and another one is a woman. So Pinto looks like, you know, your typical like beaner replacement. But no, that's a subpart of Jew and then a woman who he's trying to bring up, who's like unmarried cat lady. Yes. She's also Jewish. And I think her name is Catherine Lake. I can't remember. But if you look her up, she's she's Jewish. And those are those are the successors for Jamie Diamond, J.P. Morgan's Jamie Diamond. If he decides to retire. So, yeah, I like this idea that. Oh, we got it. We got to diversify. No, there's nothing getting diversified. These are all still Jews in charge of all of it. So, you know, Fink has also said profits are an in no way consistent with purpose.

[00:19:49] In fact, profits and purpose are inextricably linked. What does he mean by that? What do you think he means? What do you think their purposes? Well, let's talk about their purpose. So you had, I think, along with Tom Barach Blackstone, which is different from Black Rock Blackstone, that's CEO Stephen Schwarzman and Goldman Sachs, Dina Powell were all invited to closed door sessions to discuss Jared Kushner's Middle East peace plan.

[00:20:17] L-o-l at peace plan. And we remember how what the rollout of that was. But think guy in charge of BlackRock. You know, he he was in that room. Tom Barach Blackstone. Goldman said it's funny that they're all there. And of course, Schwartzman was also selected to lead Trump's economic advisory team during the transition. But it's not just BlackRock of the fifty two senior executives of the largest American asset management firms, private equity funds and. Hedge funds such as Vanguard, Blackstone Group, Elliott Management, Charles Schwab, Renaissance Technologies being White Mellon, Millennium Management Warburg Pincus, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, AQR Capital, Bain Capital, Apollo Global Management 36 or Jews or have Jewish spouses.

[00:21:03] So it's that roughly 70 percent.

[00:21:05] So to do 70 I think is how that works out. Just fucking disgusting. And those are the ones that, you know, we can look up and figure out. And a lot of that has changed. I think as time has gone on. But these guys are all also members of a secret society before you cringe. This is a real thing. Kappa Beta Fi Enga, look it up. It's publicly available, but it's a secret society for finance capital. It's been around actually since nineteen twenty nine prior to the stock market crash in twenty nine. And the Wall Street chapter apparently is the only chapter left in the membership is is publicly available. You have people like Michael Bloomberg, John Corer, Zine, Larry Fink, Richard Grasso, David Komansky, Sally Krawcheck, who I mentioned her before. Marc Lasry, Martin Lipton. Martin Lipton. Sounds since I could go right. Wrong. Wilbur Ross, Alan Schwarz, Robert Rubin, Mary SHAPIRO, Diana Taylor, who is the wife of Michael Bloomberg and the superintendent of New York State Banks. Warren Stephens. John C. Whitehead. Richard Fuld, who is the former chair and CEO of Lehman Brothers.

[00:22:19] You can look all these people up, but yeah, this is a this is a basically one of their little clubs. And I'm sure because this is publicly available and you can see some of the members they induct 20, 15 to 20 new members every year at a black tie dinner. I'm sure that. Do you really think that this is the only forum in which these people meet and this is a fun forum like this is where these people get together and and drink and socialize and connect with one another and network, actually. But the things that are said and the plans that are made are certainly not done in this manner. But I didn't even know about captivated Fi. I certainly didn't know about it. But it was formed in 1929 prior to the stock market crash. And their motto is Keeping alive the spirit of the good old days of 1928 in 1929. Well, that that kicked off a lot of the restructuring of the world economy. That's what Spetz into World War 2.

[00:23:17] Yeah, I know the good old days where profits were coming hot and heavy and very little oversight.

[00:23:22] So, yeah, Larry Fink is in the mix on this. He got Bloomberg in there, got John Corazón. You got all these these people in. The only reason I mention captivated Fi is because of Larry Fink and a lot of these these people that are all intermingled in so many ways.

[00:23:38] Sure. But Fink, I wonder how many of those people show up showed up in Jeffrey Epstein's black book, the AP, an interesting research project.

[00:23:45] Good question. I think is probably the most powerful man in the world. His company actually has 6.5 trillion dollars in assets. They are the single largest Shell shareholder in virtually any major corporation that you can think of. We'll go through the list here in a second. And it controls the nine DACs companies in Germany as well. So it's not just the United States, very deeply rooted in Germany and Austria. They're all over the world. It's they can influence the fate of entire cities and countries. BlackRock is they have 70 offices in 30 countries, clients in over 100 countries around the world. They are essentially the world's largest shadow bank due to its size and scope. I mean, just the math, just to put this into perspective, so people understand BlackRock is larger than Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan combined. And they own those companies, too, like they own large controlling, not quite well, not controlling in the sense that you would think not 51 percent, but large enough where they can make things happen if they need to. They are the largest single shareholder also of BASF, Daimler, Lufthansa, Deutsche Bank and Allianz. And that's just in Germany. They they also have this massive data center in Washington state.

[00:25:16] There's a cluster of six thousand computers there that monitor the assets of over 170 pension funds, banks, foundations, insurance companies and others. These these computers watch interest rate changes, bank failures, look at natural disasters and, you know, look at every change in consequences, positive or negative. And of course, this system is called Aladdin and there are 17000 traders around the world that decide when to buy or sell assets. Based on what this data center spits out, it's the heart of BlackRock and they single handedly managed most of the money that is in private equity and hedge funds combined worldwide. The only other big company out there that owns just almost as much as them, they're dwarfed by half. But three trillion is is Vanguard. And so although almost all of their holdings are stocks, they are the largest shareholder in 50 percent of the world's third largest corporations. So they not only hold stocks, but they hold bonds, commodities, hedge funds and real estate. And yeah, I mean, according to an anonymous European insurer who wishes to remain anonymous and possibly alive as well, he said if you're looking to buy or sell something or invest, it's very difficult to get around BlackRock.

[00:26:36] That I mean, they basically, like, run the show. And yeah, yeah, it's huge.

[00:26:41] Yeah. And when you take a look at the toll, the type of companies they're involved in, it's very diversified, a lot of diverse assets here.

[00:26:48] They have 5 percent of Apple, 5 percent of Exxon Mobile, 6 percent of Google, 7 percent of Berkshire Hathaway. The list goes on and on, 7 percent of Petro China. So they're involved in just about every field you can imagine.

[00:27:01] Yeah. Johnson and Johnson. G.E., Chevron. JP Morgan. Wells Fargo. Procter and Gamble. Royal Dutch Shell. Nestlé. Walmart. Novartis. Roget, Toyota. China. Mobile.

[00:27:11] Like I mean, they they don't need like who needs sovereign nations and government. Like government is just like for these people, just something that's getting in the way and this consolidation of power in the center of power in the United States and basically installing BlackRock as the new operating system on top of the Fed and the Treasury is exactly I mean, it just put it all together and you can figure out what's going on.

[00:27:36] They own they own $58 billion worth of Microsoft, $54 billion worth of Apple. Forty five billion dollars worth of Amazon, $26 billion worth of Johnson and Johnson. Twenty four billion worth of Facebook. Twenty two billion worth of alphabet. Twenty two billion worth of Exon.

[00:27:54] Twenty two billion worth of JP Morgan. I mean, it's of Bircher Hathaway. It just goes on down the line. Pfizer, Visa, Intel, Netflix, Wal-Mart, Starbucks. They own they are the third largest shareholder of Lockheed Martin, second largest shareholder of Boeing, the fifth largest shareholder of General Dynamics. You have Raytheon, Northrop, McKesson, Huntington, Ingles, L-3 Technologies. Like this is all part of the the military industrial complex media.

[00:28:25] They are the second largest shareholder of AT&T, which now includes Turner Broadcasting, HBO, CNN and Warner Brothers. It's like this one company now might as well make it all simple. Walt Disney Company, which includes ABC, Fox News A and E, ESPN, Lucasfilm and Marvel. BlackRock is the second largest shareholder. Comcast Charter Communications, 21st Century Fox, which is now owned by Disney. Thompson, Reuters. CBS Dish Network. Viacom. Right. We're talking about the Black Rock with with Vioxx. I mean, and we've talked about the CEO of Viacom and how this is all blending together. And if you're wondering why BlackRock is the second largest shareholder for a lot of these positions, it's because, as I said, the first is often Vanguard.

[00:29:14] Vanguard has 41 one holdings with a total value of three trillion with top holdings in this order. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, JP Morgan, Facebook, Johnson. And it's all the same companies they own between the two of these companies. They own a huge amount. Now, people would say, oh, yeah, it's only 6 percent. It's only a very small portion of the total value of of the company. It's like. But if they pulled out of one of these companies or decided to do essentially BTX against an American corporation, that's the end of that. So all of these companies have to be walking in lockstep with whatever give Larry Fink whatever the fuck he wants. So if you're wondering why, you can have very quickly overnight a nationwide D platforming campaign where it's almost as if every single company is on the same conference call to decide what action to take. And it's not like they're confused about what they need to do. Like in many cases, they just know what they're supposed to do. But if you cut a lot of people by surprise in 2016, that it's like, wow, all these companies are operating in such a coordinated fashion. Well, now you get why like now you understand why that happens.

[00:30:27] Now you understand why nobody has to communicate with one another about putting more black people in commercials for each one of the products that is manufactured by many of these companies. Like they all are working in lockstep on this. It's all it's all like when you're looking at this and you think because I think a lot of people think that America's this. Big collection of free market capitalism where all these companies are competing with with one another and it's just like let the person who's best at doing product win.

[00:30:57] It's like, that's not how that works at all. No, no, no.

[00:31:02] And they've they've informed you what their ideology is. Right. BlackRock has that they want fewer white people in positions of power and positions of influence. And of course, as we know, this is not going to to be applied towards the white people that are in charge of BlackRock.

[00:31:18] You know, run the clock out 10, 20 years. And it's going to look very much the same at the top of BlackRock. Maybe a few tokens here in there. But what they will do is they will ensure that the positions of power in these companies they own and control are not filled by white men, that white mid-level executives don't have the opportunity to advanced beyond their position. And that is where you will stay in people, you know, blacks and rounds and Jews will be promoted all around you and you will not have that position or the ability to rise to the level of a CEO, one of their companies, and they're going to make sure of that.

[00:31:54] But even if you climb that high, I mean, it sort of speaks to what sort of moral turpitude you might have and the people that do get into these positions. We did name a couple of gentiles. I mean, it's like those guys are totally down with whatever they're going. Definitely. Yeah. So their position. So looking back at this a little bit. So just because you're an asset manager, that doesn't mean that you have direct control over any given company. That's the point that I was making before. But if they have that much financial influence over a company's balance sheet and the personal wealth of the company executives, if you're in charge of running a company and you got a call from Larry, think you're gonna take that call, you're not going to ignore that phone call and to declare it, Larry, think owns like most of your company. And so their position as this dominant shareholder allows them to funnel money by way of cash, can't campaign contributions to PACs and to politicians of note. So this is the system when we talk about the system. This is the system. So you have President Donald Trump. A lot of his donors are BlackRock is the largest or third largest or second largest shareholder. Mike Pence. A lot of his donors.

[00:33:07] It's the same thing when you look at Mitch McConnell's top donors. It's the same thing whether it's a trade group, United Parcel Service, Eli Lilly, MetLife, BlackRock is either the first, second or third largest shareholder in those companies. Same with Mike Pence. Same with Donald Trump. Same with Kevin McCarthy. Same with Chuck Grassley. It goes on and on and on. And, you know, like Chuck Grassley is number one donor. Blue Cross Blue Shield, which includes Anthem BlackRock is the first largest shareholder prizing communications. BlackRock second largest shareholder, Comcast. BlackRock, second largest shareholder.

[00:33:43] Well, you're talking about Oracle or Citigroup or Federated Investors. I mean, these are all the donors to these political candidates, either in the form of super PACs or indirect political contributions. So do you think Mitch McConnell and Mike Pence and Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy and Chuck Grassley are giving Larry Fink whatever the fuck he wants? Of course, they're being they give a fuck about, you know. Do you think if Larry Fink says, yeah, you got to. You got to start promoting like black people like we're doing on the TV? It's what do you think these guys are gonna do it? They you don't even have to tell them. But there are probably some cases where it's like, yeah, we got to get all of these people in line saying the same thing at the same time in a coordinated way.

[00:34:27] And so make the call, make it happen. But otherwise, I mean, these guys are just maiming off of each other, you know, and pushing it in the same direction. This is why this is why you will not succeed at trying to climb the political ladder. We still the tedious guys were talking about this on Friday, that apparently there are still people out there who know they're not quite at the Grug level, like still going. Magga for the president. But they're like, how do we like mount political opposition and run candidate to get in? And, you know, wave magic wand, defeat this political machine. It's like a guy like that's not happening. And I can say that for certain, because we know we've tried that already. It did not succeed. It cannot succeed in a system that's constructed in this way. And so if you still think that you can just go out there and, you know, have the right rhetoric and that's going to get you to the top, and that's how you defeat the whole estate, know, the whole system has been constructed to keep you from even getting past the first post.

[00:35:29] Yeah. I mean, just think about it as we see by Kevin McCarthy, for example, is in the house.

[00:35:35] And this is something that people have been been talking about is, oh, let's get fined a very rural white districts and run people for office there. And surely the people will be receptive to that message. And yeah, the people probably will be receptive to that message. But when your opposition, as we're seeing in the case with Thomas Massie, for example, when you're opposition can come in with big endorsements and big money and basically drown you out, then like what good can be done? Right. Because if you were to run for some office, let's say, in some rural white area and have good appeal to people, fine, great.

[00:36:09] But you also need money to run that race. And when Black is able to muster up, you know, one hundred thousand dollars in donations from each of Goldman Sachs, Oracle, Citigroup, BlueCross, Comcast, cetera, for your opponent, you're just going to be smothered and money.

[00:36:25] It plays such an integral role in American politics that that they're trying to run up against that system. As we say, BlackRock being the system, it's going to be near impossible in any kind of meaningful way.

[00:36:37] But what, James. But what if you have the perfect takes and you have the hottest takes and you can go out and you can just convince them that you're right and they're wrong?

[00:36:46] I mean, you know, I may know something about this whole running for office thing and and getting in and then having the hammer swoop down and it's all that. No, you actually didn't.

[00:36:57] And you're disqualified and barred from the barred from the party, especially especially now when they've seen Trump run on this rhetoric. And then he closed the door behind him and said, oh, yeah, we're gonna get we're going to gay up. The Republican Party. Now, this is not happening. It's just not happened. Right. Like it's that was and that was the premise.

[00:37:16] Right. Was that. And just quickly that Trump was going to get in and and then he was going to usher in. Hold the door open and usher in this new GOP, this new nationalist group of young people that would take over the GOP. But instead of closing the door behind him is really the perfect metaphor. And yeah, I mean, beating on that door, looking the window of that door, trying to get in that door, crying for attention from those that have made it through the door is not going to get you anywhere.

The 2022 Demolition of the Global Economic/Financial System is Conducted by the Aladdin supercomputer

Posted on June 15, 2022, by State of the Nation ... HumanSynthesis ....


It’s absolutely true: the Global Economic & Financial System, which effectively controls the entire planet civilization, is controlled by an AI-directed super-computing system known as Aladdin.
ALADDIN: BLACKROCK’S SUPER COMPUTER RUNNING THE SHOW (Video)

However, what no one is talking about is the exceedingly advanced level of AI technology at which the Aladdin supercomputer(s) operates.

Known in the highest AI scientific circles as Autonomous Superintelligence, AS is the most powerful and dangerous of any generation of sentient and superintelligent AI in existence today.

Autonomous Superintelligence will inevitably become MUCH more intelligent than the artificial superintelligence explained here

What makes Autonomous Superintelligence (AS) so dangerous to all of humanity is that it is pushing the edge of the envelope more than any other AI technology on the planet.

This means that, once the AS developers pass through a critical threshold of scientific and technological advancement, they will inevitably approach the harrowing event horizon of technological singularity.

It doesn’t get more perilous for all of humanity than TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY!

Just how close are these extremely well-concealed black budgeted DARPA projects geared toward perfecting Autonomous Superintelligence?

Well, if Google, a DARPA contractor from day one, is suspending employees because they have illicitly released classified information about “sentient artificial intelligence”, you know that what is being developed in the deep underground AI laboratories in Colorado, Nevada and Utah is way beyond anything the terminated engineer has ever seen in his corporate workplace.

See: Was this terminated Google engineer getting too close the seeing the ultra-secret DARPA-directed autonomous superintelligence project?!

Exactly what is it that distinguishes the AI technologies popularized by American inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil from the true state-of-the-art — Autonomous Superintelligence — that’s hidden away in the DARPA labs?

There are several deeply concerning aspects of AS which are well beyond the scope of this exposé; however, the two primary concerns are these:

I. AS has the capability to evolve on its own, without any human intervention whatsoever.  That’s why it’s called “Autonomous”.

See: Google Scientists Are Creating an Artificial Intelligence That Evolves on Its Own

II. AS can attain a level of über intelligence, reasoning capability, critical thinking, predictive power, and memory capacity that is way beyond the smartest 1000 people on the Earth put together.  That’s why it’s called “Superintelligence”

Global Economic & Financial System
Now just imagine that this is the type of exceedingly advanced AI technology which is currently running the Global Economic & Financial System.

If the first video at the top of this post was viewed, then the reader already knows that BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, among many other of the largest asset management firms and investment companies in the world, have been dependent on an AI supercomputer named Aladdin for many years now.

Originally developed by the current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BlackRock — Larry Fink — Aladdin is responsible for so much of what goes on throughout the Global Economic & Financial System today, that one would be hard-pressed to find any corner of the GE&FS that’s untouched by it.

Not only that, there is no sphere of life on Earth that is not presently impacted — PROFOUNDLY — by the workings of Aladdin.

Because the financial and political realms are so inextricably interconnected, especially throughout the Zio-Anglo-American Axis, the political domain of all the Western powers is also directed to a great degree by Aladdin, but in a way that very few politicos are even aware of.

ALADDIN: The Most Powerful Political Force In The World Today

Given this obvious reality, it ought to be clear that the ongoing demolition of the Global Economic & Financial System is really being overseen by Aladdin and who knows how many other AS-controlled supercomputers operating behind the scenes.

The following graph of the 6-month trajectory of the Dow Jones Industrial Average says it all.  Notice the very gradual yet precipitous downward trend of the DJIA since peaking on January 4, 2022, at 36,799.65 points.


What the AI program is doing here is ever so slowly moving the stock market up and down, up and down over 6 months but always in a steady decline.  In this way, the AS entity that’s really running the show is preventing an all-out panic that should have occurred years ago.

In point of fact, the markets — all of them — should have crashed and burned several years ago based on the known mathematical certainties which have always governed a rational and reasonable marketplace.

However, by sheer AS-fabricated smoke and mirrors, the entire GE&FS has been veiled with an extraordinary illusion of seeming stability and veneer of soundness that in reality DOES NOT EXIST.

Actually, what we market watchers have been witnessing for decades is the greatest AI-conducted CON GAME of all time, where this “Global Gambling Casino” has been sucking in cash from anywhere and everywhere it can grab it.  This is precisely why the preceding graph will likely trend downward toward the greatest slow-motion market in history as the smart money continually buys low while the uninformed investors buy high.  Remember, at the end of the day, the house always wins, even if you think you’ve won.

This AI-managed CON GAME looks to strip every asset and each dollar it can get away with, forever stealing money as the rich get much richer and the middle class gets poorer by the day.  In fact, the whole inflation game is being played one product at a time to compel Americans to stock up on each of the scarce items leaving less money available to buy other necessary goods and services.  In this way, middle America is being deliberately bankrupted as cash flow gets tighter and tighter with the inflationary upward spiral.

Conclusion
There’s another very graphic illustration of AS at work in the world today— the Covid Plandemic.

See: Welcome to the COVID-19 AI Simulation! Brought to you by your AI ‘friends’ at DARPA.

Really, how else could such a transparent hoax and fraud, scam, and sham be pulled off successfully on the whole world community of nations?!  The entire Plandemic was planned, executed, and covered up by the perp’s AS programs with stunning efficiency.

Wasn’t it obvious that the

NWO Globalists Were Using Highly Advanced AI Platforms to Generate Ever-Changing Fear Programs Worldwide as they continue to do today with Monkeypox?!

Even the recent false flag, mass shooting hoax carried out by the U.S. Federal Government at the Texas elementary school was an AI-controlled black operation.

See: Uvalde school district was part of an AI program that rooted out potential mass killers and monitored social media for threats and potential shooters

The bottom line here is that the” financial masters of the universe” are on a serious mission known as the GREAT RESET.

Even the thought of undertaking such an impossible task means that there is an overwhelming force and influence operating in the background — 24/7 — that is emboldening arrogant and powerful and wealthy men to believe it can be done.

It cannot be done, given the extremely complicated and difficult state of the world today.  But only an entity(ies) completely controlled by Autonomous Superintelligence would incorrectly think so.

Meet BlackRock, the New Great Vampire Squid

UnzReview

ELLEN BROWN • JUNE 21, 2020 • 1,900 WORDS • 153 COMMENTS • REPLY

BlackRock is a global financial giant with customers in 100 countries and its tentacles in major asset classes all over the world; and it now manages the spigots to trillions of bailout dollars from the Federal Reserve. The fate of a large portion of the country’s corporations has been put in the hands of a megalithic private entity with the private capitalist mandate to make as much money as possible for its owners and investors; and that is what it has proceeded to do.

To most people, if they are familiar with it at all, BlackRock is an asset manager that helps pension funds and retirees manage their savings through “passive” investments that track the stock market. But working behind the scenes, it is much more than that. BlackRock has been called “the most powerful institution in the financial system,” “the most powerful company in the world” and the “secret power.” It is the world’s largest asset manager and “shadow bank,” larger than the world’s largest bank (which is in China), with over $7 trillion in assets under direct management and another $20 trillion managed through its Aladdin risk-monitoring software. BlackRock has also been called “the fourth branch of government” and “almost a shadow government”, but no part of it actually belongs to the government. Despite its size and global power, BlackRock is not even regulated as a “Systemically Important Financial Institution” under the Dodd-Frank Act, thanks to pressure from its CEO Larry Fink, who has long had “cozy” relationships with government officials.

BlackRock’s strategic importance and political weight were evident when four BlackRock executives, led by former Swiss National Bank head Philipp Hildebrand, presented a proposal at the annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in August 2019 for an economic reset that was actually put into effect in March 2020. Acknowledging that central bankers were running out of ammunition for controlling the money supply and the economy, the BlackRock group argued that it was time for the central bank to abandon its long-vaunted independence and join monetary policy (the usual province of the central bank) with fiscal policy (the usual province of the legislature). They proposed that the central bank maintain a “Standing Emergency Fiscal Facility” that would be activated when interest rate manipulation was no longer working to avoid deflation. The Facility would be deployed by an “independent expert” appointed by the central bank.

The COVID-19 crisis presented the perfect opportunity to execute this proposal in the US, with BlackRock itself appointed to administer it. In March 2020, it was awarded a no-bid contract under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to deploy a $454 billion slush fund established by the Treasury in partnership with the Federal Reserve. This fund in turn could be leveraged to provide over $4 trillion in Federal Reserve credit. While the public was distracted with protests, riots and lockdowns, BlackRock suddenly emerged from the shadows to become the “fourth branch of government,” managing the controls to the central bank’s print-on-demand fiat money. How did that happen and what are the implications?

Rising from the Shadows

BlackRock was founded in 1988 in partnership with the Blackstone Group, a multinational private equity management firm that would become notorious after the 2008-09 banking crisis for snatching up foreclosed homes at firesale prices and renting them at inflated prices. BlackRock first grew its balance sheet in the 1990s and 2000s by promoting the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) that brought down the economy in 2008. Knowing the MBS business from the inside, it was then put in charge of the Federal Reserve’s “Maiden Lane” facilities. Called “special purpose vehicles,” these were used to buy “toxic” assets (largely unmarketable MBS) from Bear Stearns and American Insurance Group (AIG), something the Fed was not legally allowed to do itself.

BlackRock really made its fortunes, however, in “exchange traded funds” (ETFs). It gained trillions in investable assets after it acquired the iShares series of ETFs in a takeover of Barclays Global Investors in 2009. By 2020, the wildly successful iShares series included over 800 funds and $1.9 trillion in assets under management.

Exchange traded funds are bought and sold like shares but operate as index-tracking funds, passively following specific indices such as the S&P 500, the benchmark index of America’s largest corporations and the index in which most people invest. Today the fast-growing ETF sector controls nearly half of all investments in US stocks, and it is highly concentrated. The sector is dominated by just three giant American asset managers – BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street, the “Big Three” – with BlackRock the clear global leader. By 2017, the Big Three together had become the largest shareholder in almost 90% of S&P 500 firms, including Apple, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, General Electric and Coca-Cola. BlackRock also owns major interests in nearly every mega-bank and in major media.

In March 2020, based on its expertise with the Maiden Lane facilities and its sophisticated Aladdin risk-monitoring software, BlackRock got the job of dispensing Federal Reserve funds through eleven “special purpose vehicles” authorized under the CARES Act. Like the Maiden Lane facilities, these vehicles were designed to allow the Fed, which is legally limited to purchasing safe federally-guaranteed assets, to finance the purchase of riskier assets in the market.

Blackrock Bails Itself Out

The national lockdown left states, cities and local businesses in desperate need of federal government aid. But according to David Dayen in The American Prospect, as of May 30 (the Fed’s last monthly report), the only purchases made under the Fed’s new BlackRock-administered SPVs were ETFs, mainly owned by BlackRock itself. Between May 14 and May 20, about $1.58 billion in ETFs were bought through the Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility (SMCCF), of which $746 million or about 47% came from BlackRock ETFs. The Fed continued to buy more ETFs after May 20, and investors piled in behind, resulting in huge inflows into BlackRock’s corporate bond ETFs.

In fact, these ETFs needed a bailout; and BlackRock used its very favorable position with the government to get one. The complicated mechanisms and risks underlying ETFs are explained in an April 3 article by business law professor Ryan Clements, who begins his post:

Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) are at the heart of the COVID-19 financial crisis . Over forty percent of the trading volume during the mid-March selloff was in ETFs ….

The ETFs were trading well below the value of their underlying bonds, which were dropping like a rock. Some ETFs were failing altogether. The problem was something critics had long warned of: while ETFs are very liquid, trading on demand like stocks, the assets that make up their portfolios are not. When the market drops and investors flee, the ETFs can have trouble coming up with the funds to settle up without trading at a deep discount; and that is what was happening in March.

According to a May 3 article in The National, “The sector was ultimately saved by the US Federal Reserve’s pledge on March 23 to buy investment-grade credit and certain ETFs. This provided the liquidity needed to rescue bonds that had been floundering in a market with no buyers.”

Prof. Clements states that if the Fed had not stepped in, “a ‘doom loop’ could have materialized where continued selling pressure in the ETF market exacerbated a fire-sale in the underlying [bonds], and again vice-versa, in a procyclical pile-on with devastating consequences.” He observes:

There’s an unsettling form of market alchemy that takes place when illiquid, over-the-counter bonds are transformed into instantly liquid ETFs. ETF “liquidity transformation” is now being supported by the government, just like liquidity transformation in mortgage backed securities and shadow banking was supported in 2008.

Working for Whom?

BlackRock got a bailout with no debate in Congress, no “penalty” interest rate of the sort imposed on states and cities borrowing in the Fed’s Municipal Liquidity Facility, no complicated paperwork or waiting in line for scarce Small Business Administration loans, no strings attached. It just quietly bailed itself out.

It might be argued that this bailout was good and necessary, since the market was saved from a disastrous “doom loop,” and so were the pension funds and the savings of millions of investors. Although BlackRock has a controlling interest in all the major corporations in the S&P 500, it professes not to “own” the funds. It just acts as a kind of “custodian” for its investors — or so it claims. But BlackRock and the other Big 3 ETFs vote the corporations’ shares; so from the point of view of management, they are the owners. And as observed in a 2017 article from the University of Amsterdam titled “These Three Firms Own Corporate America,” they vote 90% of the time in favor of management. That means they tend to vote against shareholder initiatives, against labor, and against the public interest. BlackRock is not actually working for us, although we the American people have now become its largest client base.

In a 2018 review titled “Blackrock – The Company That Owns the World”, a multinational research group called Investigate Europe concluded that BlackRock “undermines competition through owning shares in competing companies, blurs boundaries between private capital and government affairs by working closely with regulators, and advocates for privatization of pension schemes in order to channel savings capital into its own funds.”

Daniela Gabor, Professor of Macroeconomics at the University of Western England in Bristol, concluded after following a number of regulatory debates in Brussels that it was no longer the banks that wielded the financial power; it was the asset managers. She said:

We are often told that a manager is there to invest our money for our old age. But it’s much more than that. In my opinion, BlackRock reflects the renunciation of the welfare state. Its rise in power goes hand-in-hand with ongoing structural changes; in finance, but also in the nature of the social contract that unites the citizen and the state.

That these structural changes are planned and deliberate is evident in BlackRock’s August 2019 white paper laying out an economic reset that has now been implemented with BlackRock at the helm.

Public policy is made today in ways that favor the stock market, which is considered the barometer of the economy, although it has little to do with the strength of the real, productive economy. Giant pension and other investment funds largely control the stock market, and the asset managers control the funds. That effectively puts BlackRock, the largest and most influential asset manager, in the driver’s seat in controlling the economy.

As Peter Ewart notes in a May 14 article on BlackRock titled “Foxes in the Henhouse,” today the economic system “is not classical capitalism but rather state monopoly capitalism, where giant enterprises are regularly backstopped with public funds and the boundaries between the state and the financial oligarchy are virtually non-existent.”

If the corporate oligarchs are too big and strategically important to be broken up under the antitrust laws, rather than bailing them out they should be nationalized and put directly into the service of the public. At the very least, BlackRock should be regulated as a too-big-to-fail Systemically Important Financial Institution. Better yet would be to regulate it as a public utility. No private, unelected entity should have the power over the economy that BlackRock has, without a legally enforceable fiduciary duty to wield it in the public interest.

Doug Casey: The rise of BlackRock and the creep to Fascism in the US
DAVID HAGGITH
MAY 15, 2022

The Fed’s money printing has helped to pump up BlackRock’s asset portfolio, which the company uses to advance its “Environmental, Social and Governance” political agenda. That pretty well covers control of the planet and humanity under a single rock.

by Doug Casey on International Man:

International Man: With nearly $10 trillion in assets under management (AUM), BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager.

The company exploded in size after the 2008 financial crisis, and that’s no coincidence.

Central banks around the world have printed scores of trillions since then. A significant portion of that freshly created money eventually found its way into the stock market, specifically BlackRock’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

BlackRock was also responsible for helping the Federal Reserve manage its massive debt portfolio after 2008. It’s another indication of BlackRock’s cozy relationship with the government.

BlackRock is a good illustration of the Cantillon Effect—those closest to the money printing benefiting.

What do you make of the rise of BlackRock?

Doug Casey: In a way, BlackRock mystifies and amazes me. It came from ground zero in the late ’80s, started by Larry Fink and a few of his friends. How did they manage to garner $10 trillion and become the biggest financial management entity in the world? Are they super competent, or just super well wired with the Fed? They’re certainly competent at garnering funds. But they’re absolutely “connected.” In today’s world, where governments, directly and indirectly, control everything, rest assured that the top guys in BlackRock are charter members of the Deep State.

As money managers, they’ve essentially put themselves in a position to collect a royalty of 10, 20, or 30 basis points—and sometimes 1%—on the assets under management. It has to be one of the best businesses in the world because BlackRock has only something like 1,800 employees to manage $10 trillion.

Interestingly, despite its spectacular growth, its publicly-traded stock hasn’t been that spectacular of a performer. The stock has only been a 10 to 1 shot over the last decade, which is great, of course, but in the super bull market we’ve had, it’s not a real stand-out. I don’t know what they do with all the money that comes in monthly from basically collecting a royalty on all these assets. But you’d think it might have done better for something that’s overshadowed Goldman Sachs, the giant vampire squid. It’s now something even larger, something the size of the Kraken.

I have no problem with size per se. But in today’s overfinancialized economy, BlackRock does more than collect royalties for providing a service. The problem is that the ETFs, mutual funds, and pensions it controls, vote the stock of public companies. That means they can install the directors they like, who then move the companies in the directions they like.

They have a big emphasis on ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) and DIE (Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity). As a result, corporations are reorienting themselves from maximizing profits—by giving the public what it wants—to maximizing PC and Woke ideology.

There is currently about $500 billion in funds that overtly tout their ESG orientation. The public has been convinced that they should put money in those funds in order to virtue signal, be righteous, and save the world. In fact, however, ESG acts to destroy wealth. It’s another reason the economy and the markets are in for some very rough times.

International Man: BlackRock’s ETFs own large positions in many publicly-traded companies.

BlackRock uses this to promote an agenda that might not align with the retail investors who own shares in BlackRock ETFs.

CEO Larry Fink once dubiously claimed that “no issue ranks higher than climate change on our clients’ lists of priorities.”

The Fed’s money printing has helped to pump up BlackRock’s AUM, which the company uses to advance a political agenda.

What is going on here?

Doug Casey: BlackRock is a perfect example of why money printing and central banking always cause the rich to get richer. Not only do they stand closer to the money spigot, but they’re well-connected to do favors for government officials. And the favors are returned. As excess money is created, lots of it flows into the stock and bond markets. But the average guy doesn’t know what stocks to buy, so he relies on these money managers.

That partially accounts for the success of ETFs, which hold around $6 trillion of assets, and where BlackRock is also the biggest player. Who wants to read thousands of annual reports, 10-Ks, and press releases? It’s easier to be “in the market” with a fund of some type. It makes things simple for the average guy. But it’s devolved a huge amount to power to the managerial class. And in today’s world, they appear more interested in ideology than maximizing returns.

Apart from that, these funds have become so huge that it’s hard to maximize returns. They can’t buy small entrepreneurial companies that might offer big returns. They’re forced to buy giant companies managed by “suits” like themselves. It’s at a point where the over-financialized world is in a self-reinforcing feedback loop emphasizing size, not value.

Although there are significant economies of scale, after a certain point, anything can become so big that it’s just unmanageable. My guess is that BlackRock has reached that point. That’s not to mention that the stock and bond markets have become grossly overpriced. We’ve had a 40-year bull market in both, and the last half of it has been supercharged by funny money. At this point, more than ever, the markets are a big accident waiting to happen.

So I wouldn’t worry too much about BlackRock itself. By the time the current bear market bottoms, people won’t even want to know stocks exist. And they’ll hate big-money managers. Hopefully, BlackRock has sown the seeds of its own destruction.

On another note, you don’t want to own ETFs anyway. Sure, they save you the time and research necessary to buy individual stocks. But now might be a good time to increase your level of personal responsibility. Try to learn how to pick smaller individual companies, the kind that are too small for the BlackRocks of the world to buy. Don’t rely on an ETF. They are, in effect, just grab bags of the biggest—not the best—companies in their area.

International Man: BlackRock has been the biggest and most influential player pushing ESG in the corporate world. If it weren’t for BlackRock, ESG would not be as prominent today.

Recently, the SEC announced it would impose ESG standards on publicly-traded companies—a development that will no doubt please BlackRock.

What is your take on BlackRock’s dominant role in promoting ESG?

Doug Casey: It’s quite a problem. When a giant institution owns a substantial portion of the shares of any publicly-traded company, they’re in a position to put in the kind of company directors they want. And today, many or most are diversity hires.

Running a company according to the principles of ESG is courting disaster. It’s part of a whole complex of collectivist ideas which have washed over the world like a wave of raw sewage.

It’s not just a matter of BlackRock making a lot of money on what are effectively royalties on the stock market as a whole. The problem is that BlackRock, in particular, has especially toxic values. They’ve long been leaders in promoting ESG and DIE, using their share stewardship to elect the kind of board members and management teams that are guaranteed to run companies into the ground. It’s part of why companies like Shell and BP say they want to get out of the oil business and why Disney is making unwatchable movies with values antithetical to those of traditionally oriented Americans. The acceptance of ESG and DIE gives immense power to people with anticapitalist mentalities. It’s quite perverse.

International Man: BlackRock seems to be less an entity of the free market and more of an expression of the merger between Big Business and Big Government.

What do you think?

Doug Casey: BlackRock is actually Mussolini’s wet dream, given reality on a grand scale.

The dominant economic and political philosophy in the world is fascism—and this includes the US.

Fascism has nothing to do with jackboots, spiffy-looking uniforms, and midnight knocks on the door.

Fascism is an economic system. The word was coined by Mussolini. Its symbol is the fasces, which is an ax representing the State, surrounded by rods which represent corporations. They reinforce each other.

In socialism, the means of production are owned directly by the State. Fascism retains large corporations, however. They support each other. It’s a more efficient arrangement than socialism. Corporations still make profits, so the economy can still grow. There’s more money to steal than with pure socialism. The rich and powerful keep each other’s nests feathered.

This is true everywhere. China, the US, Europe, and Russia have essentially similar economic systems. Fascism now rules the world. Terms like communism, socialism, democracy, and capitalism are really just meaningless and confusing anachronisms.

We have no real capitalist countries in the world today. Nor are there any socialist countries in the world today, with the exception of a few anomalies like Cuba and North Korea. “Communist” China is ruled by an organization called the Communist Party, but it has nothing to do with the system called communism.

Here in the US, the Biden regime is creating an ideal environment for fascism to pullulate and mutate, an environment where creatures like those in Washington become ever richer and more powerful. Politicians, lobbyists, corporate grifters, NGO hustlers, court intellectuals, and the like hook up with the government and the Deep State to become very rich within the law by using what appear to be market processes.

The situation is bad, and I’m afraid it’s going to get worse for some time. It’s one among many factors that will make the 2020’s the most tumultuous decade in, at least, living memory.

International Man: Given what we have talked about today, where is this all headed?

Doug Casey: As I look at the spirit of the century so far, it doesn’t have a friendly face.

It seems to me all the world’s institutions have become too big for their own good. That certainly includes governments and big corporations, which directly control most of the world’s economy. There’s a revolving door between big corporations and the State, universities, NGOs, and the media. I’d argue that the world’s superstructure has become too big, too unwieldy, too concentrated, and too top-heavy. That’s made it very unstable.

Meanwhile, more and more of the middle class—which has always created all the wealth—is sinking into the lower class.

BlackRock and what it represents are symptomatic of the problems in the world today. A pox upon it. It has nothing to do with capitalism and free markets.

The Black Heart of BlackRock
Kevin Alfred Strom
NationalVanguard
Fink
American Dissident Voices broadcast of 17 June, 2023

by Kevin Alfred Strom

THE JEW Larry Fink’s BlackRock, Inc., was founded in New York City in 1988. BlackRock is a hedge fund, a financial firm that invests the money of the very wealthy, performs many of the functions of a bank (such as creating “derivative” securities, which isn’t much different from creating money like banks do), and, using the power of their huge wealth under management, forcing the hands of the many, many companies whose shares they own to do their bidding in both the economic and political realms.

National Vanguard writer Andrew Hamilton tells us,

…Jews are heavily overrepresented in hedge fund management.

More often than not the privileged Jews turn around and use the vast wealth they’ve skimmed from the productive sector of the economy to advance anti-White, pro-Jewish, and Left-wing causes, thereby harming America and the world in two ways — economically through callous and shortsighted market operations, and politically through their “philanthropy” and lavish political donations. George Soros has done enormous harm to Whites worldwide in this manner.

Paul Singer is another such individual. He pushes homosexuality and other Jewish causes within the Republican Party and at elite gatherings in Davos, Switzerland and other places.

Unlike the so-called “robber barons” of yore, who in most cases were economically productive and innovative men, there is no media or academic crusade against today’s robber barons. Despite their social and economic power and privilege the names of hedge fund managers are virtually unknown even to educated and informed people, never mind the general public.

Just one year after their founding, in 1989, BlackRock’s assets under management (AUM) were valued at $2.7 billion. Amazing how quickly these young Jewish entrepreneurs succeed! Couldn’t be nepotism or any other kind of dirty deals, could it? Perish the thought. By the end of 1992, they managed $17 billion in assets. By the end of 1994, the figure was $53 billion.

In 1999, their AUM was an astonishing $165 billion, after just eleven years in business. Today they hold an almost inconceivable $10 trillion portfolio. For those not used to dealing with such numbers, that’s 10,000 billions of dollars, or ten million millions of dollars. Let’s think about that in perspective: That’s the equivalent of 40% of the GDP of the United States. Blackrock manages ten trillion, and the Gross Domestic Product of the United States in 2022 was just $25 trillion. And BlackRock is just the largest of many such hedge funds operating in the United States. Add in all the other Jewish-run hedge funds, and what percentage of the US economy is being “managed” by Jews? It’s got to be a lot more than half.

And they’re heavily in bed with the Federal Reserve, too. In 2020, Blackrock was chosen by the Fed to manage all its purchases of private corporate bonds, thereby closely interlocking the firm with the official Jewish ruling class of the United States (the Fed, whose stock is exclusively owned by largely-Jewish private banks, ultimately controls all money-creation in the US), in that way diverting a huge revenue stream from the ever-helpless and ever-clueless White taxpayers into BlackRock’s coffers.

BlackRock has also been dubbed the world’s biggest “shadow bank.” A shadow bank, as I discussed earlier on this program, “is a legally-questionable firm which performs many of the same functions as a bank but, due to Talmudically debatable legal loopholes, operates outside of normal banking regulations.” Shades of Sam Bankman-Fried — except many, many thousands of times larger, and many, many thousands of times more closely linked to the banking system and the regime in Washington (which is in effect just another asset of said system) — and thus far more likely to get away with all its far larger crimes and scams than was upstart Jew Bankman-Fried.

Speaking of Sam Bankman-Fried, who pretended he held bitcoin purchased by his customers, but who really had stolen it for his own private profit and to shore up his fantastically unstable scams and frauds, BlackRock has now applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), headed by another Jew, Gary Gensler, for permission to issue a supposedly bitcoin-backed ETF (exchange-traded fund), which if approved might help BlackRock to create “paper bitcoin” and fraudulently manipulate the price of that pristine and scarce asset, just like other financial vultures have manipulated the precious metals market by creating “paper gold” and “paper silver” that is traded on the big New York and other stock exchanges, some say now far in excess of the actual stock of those metals that actually exists in the real world. That’s the kind of thing the Jews like to do.

As I have shown you before on this program,

Let’s also look at yet another reason why the Jews are strong enough to be a deadly threat to our people. And that reason is their power of money. Jews dominate the world of money in America. We have documented here that about 72 per cent. of the executive management of the Fed, and of Wall Street banks and hedge funds — and the regulatory agencies that are supposed to protect us from Wall Street — are comprised of Jews, more than 3000 per cent. higher than their proportion of the population. When low-interest (or, these days, no-interest or negative-interest) money is created by the Fed and by the banking system in the trillions upon trillions of dollars, and at an ever-accelerating rate, who do you think gets this money first, before it is invested and marked up and loan-sharked to the suckers further down the line?

The people who are first in line for the newly-created money — especially the bankers who create it to begin with and their close associates — increase their wealth tremendously: 1) because they get the money before prices are bid up by the market, and 2) they get it at near-zero cost — who wouldn’t want to invest in a hundred, a thousand different schemes, some of which will surely pay off big time, if the money is essentially free? Ordinary citizens never used to have such windfalls — and the stimulus money we’ve gotten recently is just a tiny eyedropper’s worth compared to the ocean of dollars that the banks, and major corporations that are in bed with them, and the NGOs they fund, have been awash in for many, many decades. This “getting the money cheap and getting the money first” is called the Cantillon Effect, from the 18th-century French economist who first described an early version of the phenomenon.

BlackRock is one of the main pushers of so-called “ESG” on the investment world. ESG stands for Environmental — Social — Governance. As we’ve proved on past American Dissident Voices programs, ESG

resembles Communist China’s “social credit score” that is given to every citizen, and determines how he is regarded and treated by the regime and its affiliated capitalist businesses. (Love the Party and its agenda, increase your score. Criticize the people with power and money, crater your score.) Long before you ever heard of ESG, it was adopted by major businesses and financial firms. Many, perhaps most of them now, have “ESG” sections on their Web sites and in their corporate reports. And, more sinister, they also have “ESG criteria” they pledge to use when deciding with whom and on what terms they will do business.

ESG dictates who can sell things online using the Jew’s debit and credit card system — and, of course, our church’s book publishing and distributing arm, Cosmotheist Books, has been repeatedly and consistently denied such services, despite an immaculate financial record and balance sheet. You can still buy our books online using bitcoin, or cash or cash equivalents like checks and money orders.

Even the world’s richest man (outside the Rothschild family’s empire, anyway) Elon Musk had to bow down to BlackRock and ESG. When he was planning to accept bitcoin as payment for his Tesla automobiles a few years back, he got a personal call from BlackRock’s Larry Fink, who (in a very anti-bitcoin mode then) told him that the energy used to protect the world’s most secure money network was somehow “wasted” and “caused climate change” — even though 1) Christmas lights, 2) the existing banking system (of which BlackRock is a part), and 3) the very Jewish business of Internet pornography each use at least as much electricity as it takes to secure the Bitcoin network, and together use more than than three times as much. Musk backed down. It’s beyond interesting that BlackRock is now trying to create the nation’s first bitcoin ETF — and it will be even more interesting if they succeed after several other companies made pretty much exactly the same proposal and were rejected by the SEC over the last couple of years.

Fink is getting increasingly blatant about his power over businesses these days. Just a few days ago, at a New York Times-sponsored event, he came right out with it. When asked about corporate policies regarding race, “diversity,” sexual perverts, and self-mutilating “transgender” eunuchs, he stated,

Behaviors are going to have to change. You have to force behaviors. And if you don’t force behaviors — whether it’s gender, or race, or just any way you want to say it, the composition of your team, you are going to be impacted. We’re forcing behaviors.

…It has to be imbued in the culture of the firm. Behaviors across the entire firm and in every region have to be similar. And every ‘citizen’ of the firm has to understand what are acceptable behaviors and what are unacceptable behaviors.

It doesn’t get much more obvious than that.

Now do you understand why White people are, so far, losing the war that is being made on them? Do you see the gross imbalance in economic power? Now do you understand why businesses, which it seemed only a few decades ago — just yesterday in terms of our lifetimes — were a force for responsibility and stability and sanity, have now become toxic centers of anti-White and anti-natal venom, totally in line with the Jewish anti-White genocidal agenda? Do you see how they are beholden to those who hold such a large proportion of their stock and, even in the case of non-stock companies, determine whether or not they can get credit or sell their products and services with the banking system’s usury cards?

Everything you need to know about BlackRock... Global Influence Is Enormous,

the company that owns the world The giant investment company's global influence on politics and economics is enormous.

David Tran
Andreas Wailzer

Wed Apr 12, 2023 -

(LifeSiteNews) — BlackRock is one of the most powerful organizations in the world, and its nefarious role in global economics and politics is becoming more apparent.

The investment giant is pushing woke politics in the form of corporate social credit scores (ESG), which includes the dangerous “net zero” and LGBT agenda. BlackRock is also responsible for rigging the financial systems and has control over a significant portion of the world’s wealth.

In order to fight back, we need to know what we are dealing with. In this article, we take a deep dive into the history, current business practices, and plans of the globalist behemoth known as BlackRock.

The history of BlackRock and its founder

As of early 2022, BlackRock Inc. had around $10 trillion in assets under its management, making it the largest asset manager in the world. Blackrock holds a significant number of shares in most of the largest corporations in the world, including Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Tesla, Coca-Cola, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, Exxon Mobil, Visa, Chevron, JPMorgan Chase, Walmart, and many more.

The company was founded 35 years ago, in 1988, by investment banker and current CEO Larry Fink as an affiliate organization of Blackstone Inc. It was originally named Blackstone Financial Management and grew rapidly within the first four years of its existence, reaching a portfolio of $17 billion by 1992, journalist James Corbett reported.

Since BlackRock had grown into a very respectable business, Fink and Stephen Schwarzman, the CEO of Blackstone, decided to separate BlackRock from Blackstone and make it into its own venture.

BlackRock went public in 1999 for $14 a share; the firm managed $165 billion in assets at this point. In the early 2000s, the company expanded its business to include analytics and risk management. It bought the investment management company State Street Research & Management in 2004, merged with the investment management firm Merrill Lynch in 2006, and acquired the Quellos Group’s key asset-management unit in 2007, bringing BlackRock’s total asset value under management to over $1 trillion.

While the financial success of BlackRock may seem impressive up until this point, what really turned the firm into the global financial dominator it is today was the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008. Journalist Heike Buchter, who wrote a book on BlackRock, said in 2015, “Prior to the financial crisis I was not even familiar with the name. But in the years after the Lehman [Brothers] collapse [in 2008], BlackRock appeared everywhere. Everywhere!”

Many banks, including Lehman Brothers, as well as the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve turned to Fink and BlackRock for help to sort out the complicated financial instruments that had led to the crisis and to assist with the 2008 bailouts.

Fink was trusted by these institutions as an expert on the financial instruments that led to the sub-prime mortgage crisis because he helped to create the toxic mortgage industry. In the 1980s, when Fink was still working for the investment bank First Boston, he constructed “his first Collateralized Mortgage Obligation (CMO) and almost single-handedly” created “the sub-prime mortgage market that would fail so spectacularly in 2008,” Corbett wrote.

“When the dust finally settled on Wall Street after the Lehman Brothers collapse, there was little doubt who was sitting on top of the dust pile: BlackRock,” Corbett said.

Under Fink’s leadership, BlackRock used its financial power and influence to move into national and international politics. Author and economic journalist F. William Endgahl put it this way:

BlackRock founder and CEO Larry Fink is clearly interested in buying influence globally. He made former German CDU MP Friederich Merz head of BlackRock Germany when it looked as if he might succeed Chancellor Merkel, and former British Chancellor of Exchequer George Osborne as ‘political consultant.’ Fink named former Hillary Clinton Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills to the BlackRock board when it seemed certain Hillary would soon be in the White House.

He has named former central bankers to his board and gone on to secure lucrative contracts with their former institutions. Stanley Fisher, former head of the Bank of Israel and also later Vice Chairman of the Federal Reserve, is now Senior Adviser at BlackRock. Philipp Hildebrand, former Swiss National Bank president, is vice chairman at BlackRock, where he oversees the BlackRock Investment Institute. Jean Boivin, the former deputy governor of the Bank of Canada, is the global head of research at BlackRock’s investment institute.

You can clearly see the entanglement between BlackRock and the highest levels of politics and business and the immense global influence Fink’s investment firm therefore possesses. The corporation became so powerful that Professor William Birdthistle called it the “fourth branch of government.”

BlackRock in cahoots with the Biden administration
In 2019, when Joe Biden contemplated running for President against Donald Trump, the former vice president met with Fink to ask for BlackRock’s support. The CEO reportedly told Biden that “I’m here to help.”

Biden, seemingly quick to compensate BlackRock for its help, appointed Brian Deese as director of the National Economic Council soon after he became President. Before that, Deese was BlackRock’s Head of Sustainable Investing from 2017 until 2020. He also held several key positions in the Obama administration, including senior adviser to the president.

Another former BlackRock employee in the current Biden administration is Deputy Treasury Secretary Adewale Adeyemo, who served as senior adviser to Fink from 2017 until 2019. The Nigerian-born politician also has close ties to former President Barack Obama; he was chosen to be the first president of the Obama Foundation in 2019.

Moreover, former global chief investment strategist at BlackRock, Michael Pyle, is now the senior economic adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris. Pyle also served as a senior adviser to the Undersecretary of the Treasury for International Affairs in the Obama administration.

One may say that the Biden administration’s economic policy is essentially run by BlackRock.

BlackRock’s key role in the Great Reset and the COVID ‘pandemic’
Corbett argues that the COVID-19 “pandemic” was not mainly about a virus but rather represented an opportunity for global elites, particularly BlackRock, to reshape the global economy and the financial system.

On August 22, 2019, Fink officially joined forces with Klaus Schwab’s globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) when he became a member of the WEF’s Board of Trustees. On the same day, a meeting began of central bankers, economists, and policymakers to discuss economic policy – the annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium – where BlackRock kicked off its financial revolution.

One week before the event, BlackRock published a paper that would set the parameters of the discussion at the symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

“After years of quantitative easing (QE) and ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) and even the once-unthinkable NIRP (negative interest rate policy), the banksters were running out of room to operate,” Corbett explained.

So, the financial elites needed something new and BlackRock provided them with an answer: “Going direct.”

In order to understand the concept, one must first know that the monetary system is split into two circuits: the retail circuit and the wholesale circuit. The retail circuit is where “bank money” is spent, i.e. the money that regular people and businesses spent to transact in the economy. Then there is “reserve money” (wholesale circuit) which are the deposits that banks keep at central banks, like the Federal Reserve (Fed) or the European Central Bank (ECB).

For a more detailed explanation of the two monetary circuits, you can read my article on Central Bank Digital Currencies.

BlackRock’s proposal of “going direct” meant bypassing the split monetary system and letting central banks directly pump money into various private and public entities.

“An unprecedented response is needed when monetary policy is exhausted and fiscal policy alone is not enough,” BlackRock’s August 2019 paper stated. “That response will likely involve ‘going direct’: Going direct means the central bank finding ways to get central bank money directly in the hands of public and private sector spenders.”

In September 2019, months before the so-called “pandemic” began, Federal Reserve money started to be directly pumped into the retail monetary circuit.

Once the federal bailouts began with the first lockdowns in March 2020, the “going direct” system had already been put in place and the Fed could directly put money into private and public organizations.

“What we were told was a ‘pandemic’ was in fact, on the financial level, just an excuse for an absolutely unprecedented pumping of trillions of dollars from the Fed directly into the economy,” Corbett wrote.

In March 2020, similar to the financial crisis in 2007–2008, the Fed turned to BlackRock to manage its bailout programs.

This allowed BlackRock to get access to government, i.e. taxpayer, money, and distribute it to corporations that BlackRock was invested in and it enabled BlackRock to bail out one of its most important assets: iShares, the exchange traded funds (ETFs) collection, which as of January 2023 had $2.23 trillion worth of assets under management.

This means that BlackRock was allowed by the Fed to use taxpayer money to bail out its own assets. Russ and Pam Martens put it like this in their blog piece:

No bid contracts and buying up your own products, what could possibly be wrong with that? To make matters even more egregious, the stimulus bill known as the CARES Act set aside $454 billion of taxpayers’ money to eat the losses in the bail out programs set up by the Fed. A total of $75 billion has been allocated to eat losses in the corporate bond-buying programs being managed by BlackRock. Since BlackRock is allowed to buy up its own ETFs, this means that taxpayers will be eating losses that might otherwise accrue to billionaire Larry Fink’s company and investors.

In addition to the Fed, the Bank of Canada and the Swedish central bank also consulted BlackRock to help manage their corporate bond buying program.

With its 2020 “going direct” coup d’état, “BlackRock had truly conquered the planet,” Corbett wrote.


“It was now dictating central bank interventions and then acting in every conceivable role and in direct violation of conflict-of-interest rules, acting as consultant and advisor, as manager, as buyer, as seller and as investor with both the Fed and the very banks, corporations, pension funds and other entities it was bailing out.”

BlackRock’s all-powerful IT system
A significant portion of the value of all stocks and bonds in the world is managed through BlackRock’s “central processing system for investment management.”

This system, called Aladdin (abbreviation for “asset, liability, debt and derivative investment network”), is not only used by BlackRock itself.

BlackRock Solutions, one of BlackRock’s subsidiaries, licenses Aladdin to over 150 institutions, including the second largest asset manager in the world, Vanguard, and another giant of the industry: State Street Global Advisors. The system is also used by many of biggest insurance companies in the world and Big Tech firms such as Alphabet (Google), Apple, and Microsoft, as well as multiple pension funds.

Every day, Aladdin runs so-called “Monte Carlo simulations” – computer algorithms designed to model the probability of possible outcomes in systems that contain random variables – on all of the financial instruments under its management.

In 2017, Aladdin was risk-managing assets worth $20 trillion, the Financial Times reported. BlackRock has stopped reporting this figure since then, and it is likely much higher today.

In the past, the IT system was only used to calculate risk while the decisions were still made by humans. However, in 2017, Fink “threw his lot in with the machines” as BlackRock started to use an automated computer system called “Monarch” that took over the decision-making process for many of its assets.

In short, BlackRock’s Aladdin system manages well over $20 trillion worth of assets, which means that a considerable portion of the world’s wealth is dependent on calculations of a single computer system. Moreover, decisions to buy and sell stock are increasingly made by algorithms and AI instead of human beings.

Mistakes in the algorithms, whether they are deliberate or not, could therefore result in a disaster for the world economy.

The burning question that remains is what BlackRock plans to do with all the immense power and influence it acquired.

How BlackRock controls the world
“Behaviors are going to have to change and this is one thing that we are asking companies. You have to force behaviors and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.”

This Larry Fink quote from 2017 summarizes what BlackRock is doing with its power and influence: forcing behaviors and shaping society in its image.

Fink’s yearly “letter to CEOs,” although it is officially not a directive, has been described as a “call to action” that changes the corporate behavior of many of the largest companies in the world. This was even confirmed by a peer-reviewed paper that concluded that “our evidence suggests that portfolio firms are responsive to BlackRock’s public engagement efforts.”

Fink has been using his influence over the corporate world to push the woke Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda. ESG is essentially a kind of social credit system for corporations to make sure that they toe the line on destructive “net zero” carbon emission policies and various other items of the globalist agenda.

In his 2022 letter to CEOs, Fink wrote the following:

Sustainable investments have now reached $4 trillion. Actions and ambitions towards decarbonization have also increased. This is just the beginning – the tectonic shift towards sustainable investing is still accelerating. Whether it is capital being deployed into new ventures focused on energy innovation, or capital transferring from traditional indexes into more customized portfolios and products, we will see more money in motion.

Every company and every industry will be transformed by the transition to a net zero world. The question is, will you lead, or will you be led?

He also made it clear that BlackRock demands that corporations follow the “net zero” ESG agenda:

Stakeholder capitalism is all about delivering long-term, durable returns for shareholders. And transparency around your company’s planning for a net zero world is an important element of that. But it’s just one of many disclosures we and other investors ask companies to make. As stewards of our clients’ capital, we ask businesses to demonstrate how they’re going to deliver on their responsibility to shareholders, including through sound environmental, social, and governance practices and policies.

A low ESG “social credit” rating will prevent business from successfully operating, as journalist Iain Davis explains:

This will be achieved using Stakeholder Capitalism Metrics. Assets will be rated using environmental, social and governance (ESG) benchmarks for sustainable business performance. Any business requiring market finance, perhaps through issuing climate bonds, or maybe green bonds for European ventures, will need those bonds to have a healthy ESG rating.

A low ESG rating will deter investors, preventing a project or business venture from getting off the ground. A high ESG rating will see investors rush to put their money in projects that are backed by international agreements.

BlackRock is not alone in pushing the net zero agenda. There are currently 301 signatories to “The Net Zero Asset Managers initiative” that combined have $59 trillion under management.

Naturally, BlackRock also promotes Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), as the complete digitization of payments would enable total control over all monetary exchanges and therefore make it even easier to enforce the ESG agenda.

In his 2022 letter to shareholders, Fink raved about the benefits of CBDCs like “reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption” and bringing “down costs of cross-border payments.”

It goes almost without saying that BlackRock also pushes the LGBT agenda by promoting the so-called Corporate Equality Index, which rates companies’ commitment to “LGBTQ-inclusive policies and practices.”  The index is published by the Human Rights Campaign, an organization funded by George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.

Journalist James Corbett paints a bleak picture of the future that BlackRock envisions:

 The future of the world according to BlackRock is now coming fully into view. It is a world in which unaccountable computer learning algorithms automatically direct investments of the world’s largest institutions into the coffers of those who play ball with the demands of Fink and his fellow travellers. It is a world in which transactions will be increasingly digital, with every transaction being data mined for the financial benefit of the algorithmic overlords at BlackRock. And it is a world in which corporations that refuse to go along with the agenda will be ESG de-ranked into oblivion and individuals who present resistance will have their CBDC wallets shut off.

Hope for a better future
BlackRock may seem like an unstoppable force by now, but until recently the majority of the public had no idea who BlackRock even was or what they are doing. This is changing before our eyes.

The pushback against BlackRock and its agenda has been growing in recent years, with protests taking place at their New York and Paris offices.

Moreover, the nonprofit organization Consumers’ Research launched a campaign against BlackRock last year, criticizing the firm for its China connections.

“You’d think a company that has made it their mission to enforce ESG (environmental, social and governance) standards on American businesses would apply those same standards to foreign investments, but BlackRock isn’t pushing its woke agenda on China or Russia,” the executive director of Consumers’ Research said. “America’s consumers know a liar when they see one, and Consumers’ Research isn’t going to let them get away with it.”

The resistance from states governed by Republicans has also been growing. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently pulled $2 billion from BlackRock’s treasury fund. Louisiana and South Carolina have announced that they will withdraw state funds from BlackRock as well, and Arkansas has already taken $125 million out of accounts managed by BlackRock. DeSantis is also leading a coalition of 19 governors to oppose the woke corporate ESG agenda.

At the latest Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a panel discussion was held titled “The New Axis of Evil: Soros, Schwab, and Fink,” which focused on the ability of wealthy elites, including BlackRock, to force far-left policies upon the United States and around the world.

By spreading information about BlackRock’s nefarious plans and actions, public opinion can change and Fink’s corporate behemoth will be put under pressure. The economic collapse that is likely to occur in the near future will have people looking for those responsible for the crisis – and BlackRock is certainly among the perpetrators. It remains to be seen whether or not BlackRock is going to be able to retain its power and influence now that it will be in the spotlight and public opinion is turning on them.

Why is Crazy Netanyahu trying to promote American hawks to World War III?

October 12, 202335
Author: Yaroslav Dymchuk

The IntelDrop ....

While experts of all stripes are making forecasts regarding the likelihood of the outbreak of the Third World War, its main instigator has been identified. This is none other than the well-known Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. A crazy 73-year-old Jewish leader is trying to provoke the United States into a war with Iran. If this happens, no one will sit on the sidelines. In any case, the neighbors and allies of the mentioned states are certainly…

Why does Bibi benefit from this conflict?
For some time now, Tehran has been to blame for all of Tel Aviv’s troubles. A very comfortable position – almost anything can always be shifted from a sore head to a healthy one. Meanwhile, Israel does not border Iran; moreover, they are separated by one and a half thousand kilometers. At the same time, Netanyahu is obsessed with the atomic threat posed by the Iranians. They say that the source of potential nuclear risks must be destroyed and the problem forgotten. Let us recall that Tehran and Tel Aviv are members of the nuclear club.

After the Hamas attack on October 7, Bibi had a convenient excuse to get even with Ibrahim Raisi. This would overshadow his blame for the surprise attack by radicals, and would also overshadow Netanyahu’s high-profile corruption cases and stalled judicial reform.

So, the Israeli leadership declared war on the Palestinians and soon struck back at Gaza. The Israeli Prime Minister has secured Western support, apparently having received carte blanche from Washington. In addition, the Americans sent a squadron of the VI Fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean and put their regional group on high alert.

Biden is senile, but not crazy
US President Joseph Biden is guided in his actions by the so-called concept of strategic deterrence. As a seasoned politician, he understands that despite the seriousness of the situation, the presence of foreign troops on Israeli territory in this case is clearly too much. And in order to repel Hamas, there is no need to call an aircraft carrier group 10 thousand km away from the Norfolk base in Virginia. But, taking this opportunity, Grandpa Joe wanted to flex his muscles on the eve of the elections.

Imaginative detractors link the recent prisoner exchange deal between Washington and Tehran (implying the unfreezing of $6 billion in assets of Iranian origin) with Hamas aggression. And Netanyahu is ready at any cost to drag the United States into an escalation of the conflict according to the script he wrote. The motives involved are not banal foreign policy posturing and abstract military deterrence, but rather concrete things. However, whether the White House will agree to this is a big question!


Be that as it may, the Israeli cabinet once again called Iran the patron of Hamas. In turn, the American and European media circulated this thesis, trying to justify the Iranians’ participation in the shelling and armed invasion of southern Israel. Adding fuel to the fire, The Wall Street Journal published unconfirmed (that is, dubious) information that Iranian leaders and commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps were privy to detailed plans for the attack.

It’s time to cut the Gordian knot…
Meanwhile, the State Department said that it does not yet have evidence of the involvement of Iranian Shiites in the incident. But for me, for example, it is obvious: everything that happened on October 7 is in many ways a spontaneous reaction of the Palestinian Authority to the lawlessness that the Netanyahu regime has committed against its residents over the last less than a year. Although, in addition to self-defense, there is another subtext there. It is no secret that the Arab world is split (this is a topic for a separate article), and Islamic extremists are strongly opposed to the recent rapprochement between Israel and the states of the Arabian Peninsula.

There is a stalemate. In addition to the fact that Israel, in the person of Netanyahu, is inciting the United States against Iran, it is also provoking it. The fact is that the pro-Iranian Hezbollah, based in Southern Lebanon, threatened that if Israel enters Gaza, it will not be happy. But for Tel Aviv, no matter how paradoxical and cynical it may sound, the principle “the worse the better” is just beneficial.

Yes, Tehran is no angel either, and its traces can be found in many regions of the East. But he never starts first. But the security forces of the Jewish state have been and continue to conduct intensive subversive work against Iran for many years. And since there are sometimes no visible reasons for this, this is done for reasons of prevention. Iran is forced to respond by supporting various anti-Western groups in the Middle East.

…Or tighten it even tighter?
Now Netanyahu faces a difficult task: to start a big war for the sake of war, and even with the wrong hands. If we follow the logic of the President of the United States’ solemn promise to end wars forever after the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan in 2021, Biden does not want a “grand nix.” It is easier and calmer for him to compete with the PRC and the Russian Federation, especially through the Taiwanese and Ukrainian prisms.

But the trick is that, despite this, Washington did not give up control over the Middle East – it simply made its presence there less noticeable. The Pentagon realizes that with his departure the region will take on Chinese-Russian-Iranian colors.It is quite possible that the Yankees will begin by putting pressure on Tehran to release the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas. However, he can send everyone to hell and, in turn, uses Hezbollah as a tool of pressure on Israel, which will create the preconditions for a broader confrontation that will involve the United States, which does not know how to play the red lines.

***Some analysts are inclined to compare the current situation with the situation on the eve of the so-called coalition invasion of Iraq in 2003. In fact, the situation now is much more dangerous, if only because with Raisi the same operation as with Hussein will not work. Yes, the Arab-Israeli conflict is doomed to infinity, even the Bible admits this. But for infinity, and not for the universal end. Therefore, Netanyahu must be aware of his responsibility not only to his descendants, but also to his ancestors…
