BlackRock Recruiter Admits to Controlling Nature of Company in Undercover Sting
Tell me something I didn’t already know
Last week, James O’Keefe’s new media outlet, the O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), released undercover video showing a BlackRock employee effectively admitting that the organization controls people and owns politicians.
The employee is a recruiter, Serge Varlay, who said that BlackRock manages over $20 trillion around the world. He said that he can “give you $500,000 right now” and “it doesn’t matter who wins, they’re in my pocket.”
The Visual Capitalist published an image showing the top 25 equity holdings of BlackRock:
Notice the top two being Apple and Microsoft. So, these so-called “competitors” are managed by the same people.
OMG released both the undercover video as well as O’Keefe confronting Varlay:
These videos come out shortly after BlackRock CEO Larry Fink making comments about how BlackRock needs to “force behaviors” on corporations. Fink said:
“You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock we are forcing behaviors…. Whether its gender or race, or just any way you want to say the composition of your team, you’re going to be impacted.”
In the OMG video, Varlay describes how cheap Senators are as they cost only $10,000 to be bought off.
Open Secrets has the list of politicians who have received donations from BlackRock as well as from individuals who work for BlackRock. Hint, it’s bipartisan and includes members of the U.S. Senate and House.
Additionally, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee as well as the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and National Republican Congressional Committee received $15,000 each directly from BlackRock. The NRSC leads the way from individual donations from BlackRock employees at $20,000 compared to $2,168 combined for the other three.
Varlay also said that war is good for business, specifically supporting the corrupt oligarchy of Ukraine. He said:
“Ukraine is good for business; you know that right? Russia blows up Ukraine’s grain silos and the price of wheat is going to go mad up. The Ukrainian economy is the wheat market. The price of bread goes up, this is fantastic if you’re trading. Volatility creates opportunity for profit.”
BlackRock has already been tapped to fund the rebuilding of Ukraine, with help from stolen money from American taxpayers. Breitbart reported:
“Through the Ukraine Development Fund, BlackRock and JPMorgan will ‘mobilize capital from private and public sector investors toward rebuilding the Ukrainian economy,’ according to CNN, as financial investors admit they see the fund as a lucrative windfall.”
Satirically, Caitlin Johnstone wrote:
“Kyiv has announced the addition of a fifth corporate logo to the Ukrainian flag following news that BlackRock will be playing a crucial role in the reconstruction of the nation. The world’s largest investment management firm will join Raytheon Technologies, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and McDonald’s upon the now-omnipresent blue and yellow flag….
We can expect more such deals to be signed by Kyiv, which is slated to be re-named Goldman Sachs City early next year.
The McProxy War continues.”
Did we not know this already?
Jimmy Dore had a humorous response to the OMG piece:
During his show, Dore pointed to a 2020 Bloomberg piece headlined “In Fink We Trust: BlackRock Is Now ‘Fourth Branch of Government.’” Dore asks:
“Hey, if they openly say this in Bloomberg, why did James O’Keefe have to go undercover?... You don’t suppose Americans are so utterly beaten and propagandized on a daily basis that most can’t see the thing right in front of their… faces, do you?”
That was my thought exactly when I saw the OMG piece. Sure, it’s nice to hear an admission, but there’s nothing new here.
However, it does give me an opportunity to point you back to a piece I wrote in November regarding Blackrock and Vanguard:
Who owns the world?
“It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it…. The table is tilted, folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.” —George Carlin My first post on this Substack page was about the slave mindset of the American people. But who are the slave masters trying to take total control of us? Who are the puppet masters pulling the strings of…
My piece was based off a 2021 video from Tim Gielen:
The video effectively shows who actually owns the world. At the top of the pyramid of controllers is BlackRock and Vanguard. Included in my piece was the Bloomberg piece referenced above which showed how BlackRock is a principled advisor and developer of the Federal Reserve’s computer systems while Blackrock staff have been staples of holding senior positions in both Democrat and Republican regimes.
“When the Federal Reserve needed Wall Street’s help with its pandemic rescue mission, it went straight to Larry Fink. The BlackRock Inc. co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer has become one of the industry’s most important government whisperers. In contrast to other influential financiers who’ve built on ties to President Trump, Fink possesses a power that’s more technocratic. BlackRock, the world’s largest money manager, can do the things governments need right now.
The company’s new assignment is a much bigger version of one it took on after the 2008 financial crisis, when the Federal Reserve enlisted it to dispose of toxic mortgage securities from Bear Stearns & Co. and American International Group Inc. This time it will help the Fed prop up the entire corporate bond market by purchasing, on the central bank’s behalf, what could become a $750 billion portfolio of debt.”
There have been many exposing not only BlackRock but all the globalist elites for many years, and nothing changes. With regards to Blackrock and Ukraine, this is perfect evidence for those who have been exposing the Military Industrial Complex for over a century. I’ll point you back to another piece I wrote:
Podcast: Restoring the Constitution-Understanding Proper Authority (Article I, Section 8 Discussion)
Federico Lines, of States Rights Radio, and I discussed this week Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution with regards to immigration and war powers. The podcast (link here) can be found here:Thanks for reading Seth Hancock Reports! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.
Included in that was excerpts from Major General Smedley Butler’s 1935 book War Is A Racket. Butler fought in multiple wars, World War I his last, during a 34-year military career in the Marines. He was the most decorated Marine in America when he wrote his book.
Butler began his book:
“WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.
In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.
How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?”
In chapter five, Butler writes:
“I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war.
Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had ‘kept us out of war’ and on the implied promise that he would ‘keep us out of war.’ Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.
In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.
Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?
Money.
An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:
‘There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.
If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money . . . and Germany won’t.
So…’
Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a ‘war to make the world safe for democracy’ and a ‘war to end all wars.’
Well, eighteen years after, the world has less of democracy than it had then. Besides, what business is it of ours whether Russia or Germany or England or France or Italy or Austria live under democracies or monarchies? Whether they are Fascists or Communists? Our problem is to preserve our own democracy.
And very little, if anything, has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars.
Yes, we have had disarmament conferences and limitations of arms conferences. They don't mean a thing. One has just failed; the results of another have been nullified. We send our professional soldiers and our sailors and our politicians and our diplomats to these conferences. And what happens?
The professional soldiers and sailors don't want to disarm. No admiral wants to be without a ship. No general wants to be without a command. Both mean men without jobs. They are not for disarmament. They cannot be for limitations of arms. And at all these conferences, lurking in the background but all-powerful, just the same, are the sinister agents of those who profit by war. They see to it that these conferences do not disarm or seriously limit armaments.
The chief aim of any power at any of these conferences has not been to achieve disarmament to prevent war but rather to get more armament for itself and less for any potential foe.
There is only one way to disarm with any semblance of practicability. That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough.
The next war, according to experts, will be fought not with battleships, not by artillery, not with rifles and not with machine guns. It will be fought with deadly chemicals and gases.
Secretly each nation is studying and perfecting newer and ghastlier means of annihilating its foes wholesale. Yes, ships will continue to be built, for the shipbuilders must make their profits. And guns still will be manufactured and powder and rifles will be made, for the munitions makers must make their huge profits. And the soldiers, of course, must wear uniforms, for the manufacturer must make their war profits too.
But victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists.
If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war -- even the munitions makers.
So. ..I say,
TO HELL WITH WAR!”
When will people get serious?
So, what OMG exposed was nothing new. My question is, when will we step up and stop this?
The reality is that these globalists and their political puppets are arrogant narcissists who truly believe they get to control our lives. And they do have immense power. But that power is only effective because we the people allow them to have that power through dependency and an entitlement mentality. People want to be taken care of. They do not want liberty.
To go back to Fink’s statement of “forcing behavior,” that shows why the corporation are going “woke.” Yet, conservatives still boast “go woke, go broke.” When has that happened? It hasn’t.
Boycotts are not effective. That’s not to say you shouldn’t stop buying their products and services, and there’s many reasons not to. But your boycotts have no effect.
What is needed is for people who desire liberty to build a new system, one that fosters real competition and a real free market. We don’t have free markets in America. We haven’t for a long, long time. We have a fascist system where government and corporations are attached at the hip.
In April, Brian Shilhavy wrote for Vaccine Impact about protests in France where the burned down Blackrock offices. That’s not the solution. That just makes things even harder for us.
In contrast, Life Site News reported about the State of Louisiana pulling $800 million out of Blackrock over the “crippling green energy” agenda.
That’s part of the solution. Remove consent from the power hungry elitists. And then, build your own system. The solutions are local. Don’t look to politicians, especially not federal politics. You have no say in Washington, D.C. Accept that and move on.
Regardless, we need to stop being shocked when pieces like that from OMG come out. We already know this. When will we actually start taking this seriously?
