BlackRock: Masters of the Universe
The New American ^ | July 31, 2023 | Alex Newman

Posted on 07/30/2023 9:05:03 PM PDT by devere

Behind the scenes, quietly, there is a vast power responsible for pushing all this “woke” corporate fanaticism. It has a name: BlackRock. The world’s largest asset manager, the corporate giant has an estimated $10 trillion under management. For perspective, that is more than the gross domestic product (GDP) of every country on the planet except the United States and Communist China. When the overlord of it all orders lesser mortals running Fortune 500 companies to jump in his annual “letter to CEOs,” business leaders around the world stand at attention and ask, “How high, sir?”...

Once it buys these huge positions, BlackRock makes clear that the firm will go woke. Worst of all, perhaps, this evil imposed on companies is being advanced with your money. Despite the protests of investors, political leaders, and even institutions with massive amounts of money invested with BlackRock, the firm dutifully votes the shares that its clients technically own to promote the “woke” agenda. Indeed, the threat to board members who resist that they will be ousted from their lucrative posts looms large over corporate board meetings everywhere.

BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink has bragged repeatedly about what he is doing with your money. “Behaviors are going to have to change, and this is one thing that we are asking companies,” Fink declared during a 2017 discussion hosted by The New York Times. “You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.” It is true; BlackRock is, in fact, forcing behaviors on companies, as well as on the people who work in those companies and even consumers....

globalist Fink...sits on the board of trustees of Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF), the organization bringing together leaders of government and business to advance the “Great Reset.”

Institutional investors, meaning the banks and other investment firms.

If you dug deeper, it’s probably the usual billionaire crowds.

Is Fink master of his domain?

I’d never heard of them until a couple of years ago. With antitrust laws, how can this company exist?

Probably the usual buying up of Washington politicians.

I think he is a willing puppet of Lucifer. And he probably is cool with the black stone worship in Mekkah.

I don’t want to excuse the sins of Blackrock, but it’s not a proper comparison of their assets under management vs GDP. One is, in a business, more like gross sales, which go in the income statement, while assets go in the balance sheet.

Of course, it’s a swag, and there are all sorts of restrictions on monetizing some assets, but that’s the scale of things we are talking about.

Blackrocks assets belong in the total assets category, as there are future payment claims against most of them - retirement funds, etc.

Blackrock is the reason why Disney has gone queer. Blackrock is the reason Budweiser has lost billions.

When a 1 trillion dollar holding company tells billion dollar corporations what to do, they listen . They have no choice

Evil has a name and that name is Blackrock.
