State Lawmakers Are Waking Up To BlackRock’s Dangers To Americans, And Taking Action
The Federalist ^ | 2/18/2022 | tristan justice

Other Republicans leading major oil-producing states such as state treasurers in Ohio and Oklahoma, have remained apathetic.

West Virginia Republican Treasurer Riley Moore axed his state’s relationship with BlackRock last month over the $10 trillion investment firm’s dual loyalty to Chinese interests and woke capitalism.

“As the state’s chief financial officer and chairman of the Board of Treasury Investments, I have a duty to ensure that taxpayer dollars are managed in a responsible, financially sound fashion which reflects the best interests of our state and country, and I believe doing business with BlackRock runs contrary to that duty,” Moore said in a press release at the time.

Now the colossal Wall Street firm is void of oversight for the state’s investment fund, a liquid account worth approximately $1.5 billion. While it might not be much money to BlackRock, Moore tells The Federalist, it’s “a hell of a lot for the people of West Virginia,” and far too much to park with an investment firm infected by corporate wokeism working to defraud the state’s more than 1.7 million residents.

Despite holding $85 billion in coal assets as of January last year, BlackRock has emphasized its commitment to reaching net-zero carbon emissions, a near-term pledge incompatible with a flourishing energy industry reliant on instantaneous power provided by fossil fuels. The commitment while fostering Chinese investment has prompted well-founded skepticism about whether BlackRock has the best interests of its clients at stake.

I seem to recall reading something about Biden meeting with India’s Modi, and then later with BlackRock. Then after that Modi avoided giving any credit to Ivermectin for major Covid reductions in Uttar Pradesh. For what its worth, there were 5 other important components to the UP treatment kit besides Ivermectin. Maybe the truckers should surround Pfizer headquarters, and if BlackRock is connected with Pfizer, also surround BR. Of course, my memory could also be wrong about BR.

I sold off a small amount of Blackrock stock when the head of it announced his crackpot energy plans.

It was a “Not with my money you don’t you wacko smuck”!!

Glad to see another who is on to BR.

I predict BR ducks out of sight as more and more become aware of what they’re up to.

They don’t need to be seen as owning everything, they can be hidden behind hundreds of shell companies which they are already but not completely.

From what I can tell, they already have the shell companies, using them to snatch up every house they can.

An old co-worker of mine was telling me back in 2017 that the hedge funds had been buying up whole inventories of homes from the banks after the housing crash.

And as long as the property taxes are coming in, the politicians do not care

We should consider a separate thread. Not right now as I’m tied up in court this next week, but this is an enormous subject.

The subject is huge as it attacks the very foundation of private property. And that’s not conspiracy theory, it’s conspiracy fact.

I will save this conversation and come back to create a separate thread later.

In the meantime, just so we know, this subject is easily pulled into a left-wing cesspool and is then abandoned by conservatives who are repelled by the smell.

So when we take it up, we need to cultivate the context carefully to keep the subject in an American constitutional light, rather than allow it be co-opted by ignorant persons who might think it’s all the fault of Trump and such, not that they are liars but that they off on numbers, statistics, interpretation, and history.

Whether your memory is correct or not, we live in a corporatist state and Jimmy Hoffa is dead.
