Concerns about the Big Two
The combination of the assets under management by The Vanguard Group and BlackRock is about $17 trillion. Together they’re a powerhouse of control. With such heavy influence over Big Pharma, the Mainstream Media, and many other industries, how does this impact the average citizen? Most don’t even think about it and some don’t care. Those who see the secretive monopolies these giants hold realize that it gives them influence over the American public as well as the rest of the world. With control of over 90 percent of mainstream media, it’s believed that their influence is currently being experienced through information shared about the Covid-19 pandemic, the pressure for vaccination, and the fear-mongering that is a constant on the news channels.

From what I understand Vanguard is owned by the shareholders in its mutual funds.

Blackrock only has a market cap of $138 billion. I doubt there is any coercion placed on the management of any large corporation from this quarter as an Apple or Microsoft or combination of other large companies would simply buy a controlling interest in BlackRock, do away with the offending management, and go about their business.

I think people confuse assets under management with ownership.

Mutual funds invest for their investors, and have voting rights over the boards of directors.

So the biggest mutual funds have immense power.

Saw a post this morning that WEF is backed by the Rothschilds. Wouldn't be surprised to find out they were majority shareholders of Vanguard.

Merck used to have stake in moderna, but they sold it at a correct time. Wierd that they all also own each other but black rock has stake it all of them.

Why Boing going down so much, it was never up that much to begin with.

Had a video ever aged so well in modern history?

In May 2020, Chris Sky predicted everything that was going to happen. He was way ahead of most 'conspiracy theorists.' Of course, Twitter suspended his account right after this video went viral.

Majority shareholder of Black Rock is Vanguard. Their majority shareholders... are private.

Here's a case were the large mutual fund/ETFs can exert their influence...
Twitter Shakeup: Dorsey Exits Board, Silver Lake Co-CEO Fails to Get Enough Re-Election Votes
Twitter Inc. director Egon Durban, the co-Chief Executive Officer of private equity firm Silver Lake, failed to get enough votes for re-election to the board during the company’s annual shareholder meeting Wednesday.
Institutional Shareholders Services Inc., an advisory firm, had recommended against Durban’s re-election because he serves on the boards of “more than five publicly-traded companies.”
Durban, however, may still remain a Twitter director despite failing to receive a majority of shareholder votes, according to Twitter’s proxy statement. The company requires board nominees to offer an “irrevocable resignation” in advance of the voting, which would kick in if a nominee failed to win the approval of shareholders and the board accepted the resignation. But the board has the power to reject the resignation, leaving the nominee as a director, according to the proxy statement.

Maybe they are not omnipotent after all.

Patrick says

Doesn't matter, the US taxpayer will bail them out.

They're just another Fauci, Pelosi, etc. Something for the Vanguard shareholders to do with as they please.

Remember, they lost client/investor money, not their own.

Just like if the market drops, Fidelity's holdings in their mutual funds goes down - for the investors/account holders.

The real bailout will be Blackrock Real Estate Vehicles.

Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock Investment Management Company, has been referred to as the “architect of woke capitalism.” Together in coordination with other financiers, Fink has sought to weaponize pension funds through ESG to make radical changes to our economy that would never be approved in a legislature or ballot box. “Society is increasingly looking to companies, both public and private, to address pressing social and economic issues,” he wrote in a 2019 letter to CEOs. “These issues range from protecting the environment to retirement to gender and racial inequality, among others.”

Conspicuously absent from these priorities is maximizing their clients’ financial investments.

As the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock controls more than $8.5 trillion in assets. Fink and BlackRock leverage this vast pool of money that doesn’t belong to them as a means of compelling companies to fall in line with thier agenda. “Behaviors are going to have to change, and this is one thing we are asking companies, you have to force behaviors and at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors,” Fink has stated.

Nice summary of how BlackRock came to be. Take particular notice of the stock investments. There's another company who is always ahead of them in every example chosen.

BlackRock loses $1.5 trillion, plans 500 layoffs while continuing to embrace leftist agenda
The layoffs will be the first for the major investment firm since 2019.

The world’s top asset manager, BlackRock manages almost $10 trillion in investments. Its holdings include Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and Tesla, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Now, an estimated 500 BlackRock employees, representing roughly 3% of the company, are slated to see their jobs on the chopping block.

The Daily Wire cited the firm’s most recent earnings report, noting that BlackRock’s “assets under management declined from $9.5 trillion in the third quarter of 2021 to $8.0 trillion in the third quarter of 2022.”

This is actual fascism:

“Markets don’t like uncertainty. Markets like actually totalitarian governments where you have an understanding of what’s out there … and democracies are very messy, as we know in the United States — you have opinions changing back and forth.”

Odd, since totalitarian governments typically do not like free markets.

He means Communist/state controlled/rigged markets.

@Onvacation - why do you delete the "original link" link? Please stop doing that. It doesn't matter for any other site, but you can click through to get the original, but it matters with bitchute. You also can't go full screen with bitchute without going to the original page.

I archive videos so that if (or when) they take them down, I still have them. Remember - O'Keefe was forced out of Veritas. You have to store things offline, because people and organizations are bought off.

When you delete the original link, you make it difficult to archive.

I can see the URL if I quote your comment, but that is only includes the "embed" link, not the "video" link, and even then, I have to take excerpts because if the quote is too long, I can't directly quote it.

For bitchute, you should just copy the URL of the page, not go through the steps I showed above. If you copy the URL link, it will embed the video, and include a the original link.

Uncovering the White House’s Secret Meetings With BlackRock

With more than $10 trillion in assets under management, BlackRock is the wealthiest and most powerful investment management firm on Wall Street. Yet newly discovered information reveals that BlackRock’s influence may extend well beyond the financial sphere, all the way to the White House. ...

White House visitor logs show Thomas E. Donilon—chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute (BII), BlackRock’s personal think tank dedicated to assessing geopolitical investment risk—convened with Biden administration officials at least eight times from March 2021 to November 2021. Donilon has been a luminary in U.S. foreign policy for the entirety of his career, most recently serving as national security adviser to President Barack Obama and as foreign policy lead for the 2016 Clinton campaign. He’s a leading member of globally focused organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, the Aspen Strategy Group, and the Trilateral Commission. ...

Fink has also had at least one unpublicized meeting at the White House in the Biden era. On Feb. 8, just two weeks before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Fink met with Steve Ricchetti, counselor to the president and a man dubbed “Biden’s sherpa” by Politico. Again, there are no media reports or acknowledgment of this meeting occurring.
Why are members of the Biden administration meeting frequently with key figures at BlackRock? Have the close relationships between BlackRock executives and the White House impacted public policy? Has BlackRock profited financially from these important relationships? Has BlackRock worked with the White House to influence policy toward Russia or used information gleaned from White House sources to divest themselves from riskier holdings?

BlackRock is the world’s most powerful investment management firm, so it’s essential that these and many other important questions are answered. The American people deserve to know whether their government prioritizes their needs over those of gigantic Wall Street investment firms. But without a more far-reaching investigation by Congress, the answers we seek aren’t likely to fully come to the surface soon.

Donilon has been a luminary in U.S. foreign policy for the entirety of his career, most recently serving as national security adviser to President Barack Obama and as foreign policy lead for the 2016 Clinton campaign.

This puts him as one of if not THE author of massive cucking to the USSR which started with 2009 "reset", removal of missile defense from Europe, ignoring of flagrant violation of Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty by the other signatory and culminated in complete reneging on international obligations assumed under Budapest memorandum.

The guy needs to be looked into by the FBI as he stinks of being a KGB asset. Wonder if they got some pedo-related "compromat" in him...

Here’s something the TV isn’t telling you.

Robert Kennedy Jr. reports that whenever a nation joins NATO, it has to conform its weapon purchases to NATO standards.

This is described as the “trap market” because conforming to NATO standards means buying your weapons from Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing.

And when you look into who owns all of those military contractors, “All of those companies are owned by BlackRock.”

Doesn't Sweden's military already use NATO standard ammo?
