That still leaves various ports in the Caribbean and Gulf under CCP control.

You call selling the port to a portfolio company that has created a generational rental class winning? Black Rock has killed an entire generation of home ownership and flipped the housing market to either too expensive to afford or rentals across the country. Black Rock can stuff it.

Not really. Larry (the) Fink, Chairperson of BlackRock, is a BIG FANBOI of DIE (diversity, inclusion, equity) and ESG (the corporate version of DIE), AND a BIG part of the WEF! As the WEF and the ChiComs almost ALWAYS align their policies. I would go so far as to say, that the WEF is controlled by the ChiComs. I would further suggest that switching the operation of the ports from the Chinese company to the Fink, is moving something from the left, to the right hand.

Let’s not forget that PDJT’s would be assassin, Thomas Crooks, was identified as being in a BlackRock video advertisement. Is there a connection?

I agree. These people are as corrupt as the swamp.

Yes, that hired Trump would be assassin Crooks to be in a commercial.
Whose managers were at the shooting range at the same time Crooks was the day before the assassination attempt, and likely talked to Crooks.
Who hired the second would be assassin (the one hiding in the bushes) for another Blackrock commercial about helping the Ukranians continue with their war.

I place no trust on the Balckrock corporation.

But American.

That’s the important part.

But since it’s an American multinational much more can be done.

Larry and Trump are, and have been good friends for years. Larry has given up the DIE cr**.

Both Trump and Congress know all about this deal.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Trump called Larry.

They are a part of the swamp! They also bought considerable portions of Ukrainian farm land from Zylinski, so much for the original owners right to property.
