Need to add to index. - Noteworthy discussion about the fragility of the digital landscape to be had here. Until I archived Serge's pages, there was nothing, and he started deleting shortly thereafter. - <https://archive.is/rRpyR> - <https://archive.is/Q5ZE2> - <https://archive.is/IKl1D> - <https://archive.is/ZJ0OW> - <https://archive.is/g128K> That they don't wanna be in the news. They, they don't want people to talk about 'em. They don't wanna be anywhere on, on the radar. Why not I on film? But I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it. All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. You can take this big. Ton of money and then you can start to buy people. I work for, uh, company people. BlackRock meet, Serge Varley, a recruiter at BlackRock. Lemme tell you, it's not third. Who is the present? It's, it's controlling the, the wall. It's, it's the. And who's that? The hedge funds, the banks, these guys. Campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your candidates. Obviously we have the system in place first. There's the senators and these guys. You got 10 grand. You can buy a system. I can give you 500 K right now. No questions asked. Yeah, I give you done. Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? It doesn't matter if who wins. They're so they're, they're my popular. Here's Varley. On how good war is for Black Rock's business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine, Russia war? Yeah. I mean, I, I do have thoughts. What, what are they? Ukraine is good for business, you know? Right. I'll give an example. Russia. Russia blows up Ukraine, grain cycles, price of wheat's gonna go mad up. Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market. Mm-hmm. Prices of bread. You know, literally everything is, goes up and down. This is fantastic. If you're trading, volatility creates opportunity to make profits. War is no good for for business. It's exciting when goes wrong, right? Rock. Rock manages 20 trillions. It's comprehensible numbers, BlackRock surge. Varley says all of this is above a normal person's understanding. You're like an undercover reporter. This is, this is beyond them. The whole thing of like domination from a concept is, Hi, I'm James O'Keefe with OMG News. Here we are with our latest story this time on BlackRock, one of the world's leading asset and investment managers. Which owns significant shares of companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Anheuser-Busch, meta Target, Proctor and Gamble, Comcast c Nnn, Fox, and yes, Pfizer, just to name a few. At omg, we do not shy away from exposing powerful companies, and we're not afraid of powerful people. So we decided to take a look for ourselves that the influence BlackRock has on our politics and the influence they have on our culture. So to do that, what better place to start a hidden camera investigation than into a self-described gatekeeper. At BlackRock, like you're kinda like a fucking gamekeeper at BlackRock. Yeah, I am. I, I decide people's face every day. I literally decide how somebody's life is going to be shaped. That's so powerful. I love it. Yeah, it's, it's, and you know, the whole thing of like domination from a concept. It's so interesting introducing Serge Varley. Whose LinkedIn says he's worked for Morgan Stanley Citadel, and now as a recruiter at BlackRock, I worked for a company called BlackRock. I'm not actually a finance guy. I just, I know what happens because I'm recruit people who do these things. Mm-hmm. I'm the person who had funds people to my other firms, so I would approach him and be, Hey, this is a good reason why you should come here for us, Serge tells us who really runs the world. How they do it and just how much it costs to buy people. Like politicians, lemme tell you, it's not through. Who's the president? It's who's controlling the, the wallet. So it's, it's And who's that? The hedge funds, the banks. These guys Campaign financing. Yep. You can buy your candidates. So, you know, some, all of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. How do they run the world? You acquire stock, you diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring. You spend whatever you make in acquiring more. And at a certain point, your arrest club is, is super low. Like imagine you've invested in, um, like 10 different industries from food. To, to drinks, to like technology, right? One, one of them fails. It doesn't matter. You have nine others to make you up. Risk management is, is inherently just about everything. And in the finance space, it's all about, it's, it's, well, it's all about the money you make. You don't. You don't let it sit like you keep using it over and over and just reinvest. Yeah. And then exponential growth. And then once you just own a little bit of everything, is that where the control? Yeah. You own a little bit of everything and a little bit of everything Gives you so much money on a yearly basis that you can take this big sum of money and then you can start to buy people. And obviously we have the system in place first. There's the Senate and these guys, you got 10 grand you can buy us. It doesn't matter who wins. There's, so they're, they're in my pocket. I can give you 500 K right now, no questions asked. Yeah. I gonna do what needs to be done. Like Yeah, of course. Why not? Does like everybody do that? Does BlackRock do that? The BlackRock recruiter also tells us about how the US government relies on BlackRock for their economic simulation. Computational power economic simulation, they need to understand the impact of something, right? They're gonna like raise the interest, for example. Mm-hmm. It's gonna create this cascade of various factors that people aren't, they're not sure what's gonna do big screen and just how great the Ukraine war is for business. Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine? Russia war? Ukraine is good for business, you know, right. We don't want the conflict to, to end, why we don't want the conflict to end as a country. The longer this goes on the weaker Russia, I'll give an example. Russia. Russia blows up Ukraine's grains. Price of weed's gonna go up. So whatcha are you gonna do if you're a training firm? The moment that news hits within a millisecond, you're gonna pump. You're gonna pump trades into, um, into, uh, whoever the weed suppliers are, into their stocks. Within an hour or two, that stock goes up, and then you sell and you just made, I don't know, however, email, why would a news channel promote side and more, because it's also good for business. I mean, what, what's news? News, right? What does news feed on? They feel on, they feel on. Stuff, events. That's what people like to watch. So when it happens, it's, it's good business. More viewers, when nothing's happening, watch news. I don't watch news. So they're all pushing like the same talking point. Like you Generally when you look at news like it's propaganda, Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market. This is fantastic if you're trading volatility creates opportunity to make profit. Good for, for business. It's exciting when goes around, right? S also speaks on BlackRock influenced news and even gave our journalists some tips based on everything we know. Now, Uhhuh, when they say to sell, does that mean we should buy sell? Yeah. It's like, uh, you know Jim Kramer, if you do, uh, exactly the opposite of what he's advising you actually make money, huh? Yeah. It's like, it's called the, the inverse creamer. They don't wanna be in the news. They, they don't want people to talk about 'em. They don't wanna be anywhere on, on the radar. Why not I on film? But I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it. And when Surge was asked about insider trading and if Larry Fink recently sold a hundred million dollars in BlackRock shares, here is what he said. Larry Fink recently sold a hundred million dollars worth of BlackRock. Oh. Oh, wow. Damn Larry. That's not a good sign. The people who trade and make money, they do this the moment the information is out, and that invoice is typically, typically disseminated at private levels first before it gets the mm-hmm. If you wanna invest smart. There's a tracker that tracks old politicians and where they have their stocks preemptively. If the stock price, if we think the stock price is gonna tank, we're gonna finish sell. So that, so that we, we sell it high, it tanks and we buy back. And we made, we, well, we didn't make, but we preserve, preserve a few Mel, but perhaps the most remarkable, profound comment by the Black Rock recruiter. Is the suggestion that nobody is going to care about what he's saying here or confessing here. Because as he says, quote, normal people don't give a, you're like a undercover reporter. Really? No, no. Don't normal people worry about this stuff. No, no, no. Normal people don't give a shit. This is, this is beyond them. That these types of questions my reporter asked are beyond all of you. The answer is something that you, the people, the consumers, the shareholders, couldn't possibly understand. It's been said that it's easier to fool a man than to convince him he's been fooled. There is no question that many Americans are still asleep who may not want to wake up from their necessary illusions. But we hope and believe by showing these tapes of this BlackRock gatekeeper speaking so plainly on so many topics, that not only we wake up people, but also inspire others to come forward on institutions like BlackRock. Oh, and this is just part one. Stay tuned tomorrow for my meeting. With Serge barley, we also reached out for comment to BlackRock, and here's what they had to say. ## Index Totals - Start of day: **==910==** files, **==84==** folders. - End of day: **==914==** files, **==83==** folders. %% Footer Below%% ---- ![htiny|float center small](https://i.postimg.cc/kMVCGn8R/BDE-Capture-2.png) ------ # Keep Digging %%Space%% ## Explore Dates > - **Previous Day** - [[06-19-2023 ]] > - **Next Day** - [[06-21-2023 ]] > - **Day** - [[June 20th ]] > - **Month** - [[June 2023 ]] > - **Year** - [[2023 ]] > - **Decade** - [2020s](2020s.md) > - **Century** - [21st Century](21st%20Century) ## Tags #TL #TL/21st-Century #TL/2020-2029 #TL/2023 #TL/Jun/2023 #TL/Jun/20th ### Footnotes & References
