BlackRock Investment’s CEO is forcing wokism on American corporations
American Thinker ^ | 13 Feb, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Using other people’s money, BlackRock is driving America’s corporations further and further left, as well as wholeheartedly embracing China.

BlackRock Investment is a company bigger than most of you can imagine. BlackRock and The Vanguard Group, together, own just about every business in America (not to mention a staggering amount of real property). It turns out that BlackRock’s CEO, a guy named Larry Fink, is another one of those limousine leftists who believes it’s his job to force leftism on America, one corporation at a time. He’s also gung-ho on China and uses the money of ordinary investors to help fund Chinese aggression. This isn’t capitalism, this oligarchy and it needs to be addressed.

Rather than do a lot of writing, I’ll just offer you two short and one medium-length videos. First, Vivek Ramaswamy manages to explain in under one minute how Larry Fink is using investors’ money to push American corporations further and further left: (video at link)

Second, a group called Consumers’ Research has put had a short video focusing on Larry Fink’s strong support for the Chinese Communist Party—again, using investors’ money: (video at link)

The group has also set up a website that covers topics such as Fink’s love for China, woke pressure on American corporations, use of ordinary Americans’ financial trouble to increase his financial control and BlackRock’s holdings, and his “controversial resume,” among other things. It all paints a very ugly picture.

I am glad to see that there are some mutual funds that invest in companies that refuse to participate in the woke ESG system (environment, social and governance).

Deconstructing American society to make it pliable for the globalists.

Literally, Blackrock owns everything on earth lock stock and barrel. This war is directly between the people of the world and Blackrock. Every government, every leader, and every politician are just paid actors and scapegoats. Paid to read a script and to force what is dictated by Blackrock by proxy. Everything talked about other than this one important reality is just a purposeful distraction away from the whole truth of the matter to throw off the dogs. If we are going to ever win this we need to quit wasting shots on targets that have no productive effect in the whole picture, positively identify our true enemy, and aim at that one target in mass.

In one way or another they are all still in Blackrock’s pocket. There is no way to be completely independent from Blackrock.

Seems there’s a strange game afoot where the big CEOs, now having more control over world affairs than any nation, are trying to shape the world and position themselves as world leaders of a global government.

Imagine the hell on earth when they get really close but start fighting among themselves over who gets to be top dog(s). Gates, Fisk, Musk, Schwab and current globalist pols.

Blackrock IS the New World Order global communism. They are the MIC, they are big pharma, They are the Virus, They are the Vaccine, they are the MSM propaganda machine, even the Great Reset is a fork of Blackrock’s dictates. Every ladder you climb will lead to Blackrock at the top. This is much much bigger than Wokism. Blackrock is the #1 enemy of humanity.

It turns out that BlackRock’s CEO, a guy named Larry Fink...

Not only is BlackRock an evil, fascistic corporation, which has worked hand-in-glove with the Regime to warp property zoning standards to its benefit, but it even has a CEO with a cartoonish “Dr. Evil” sort of name.

If you don’t want other people or organizations contributing to decisions made by your company, then don’t go public.

If you have stock, check the major shareholders (easily available on yahoo) and you see a holder you don’t like, be sure not to ignore those proxy votes you get.

Vanguard is actually a bit bigger than Blackrock, and Fidelity is quite large as well. Blackrock may be a leader on forcing ESG and diversity but unfortunately its crept into every Board room in america at this point and I don’t see it stopping anytime soon.

“Vanguard is actually a bit bigger than Blackrock”

I agree, and Vanguard owns the controlling interest of Blackrock, so they also own Blackrock. But Vanguard has diverse stealth ownership who are very insulated and hard to target or blame as one entity. Blackrock as one entity is the vehicle they use to do their dirty work. It is this vehicle that needs to be wary of more so than the drivers.

Well, Mr. Fink does likely have Rand Paul’s support for killing off America, since he’s not government.

Who is going to tell their asset manager to defund anything having to do with Blackrock when it’s making them money.

And Blackrock has 3 or 4 of their top dogs embedded in the White House. Imagine that.

And it was a good question. And that is the problem. Human greed for the all mighty dollar will always prevail over even humanity it’s self.
