Is there a company that secretly owns the world, subtly influencing global politics and economics with an iron fist? The answer, while sounding like a plot from a dystopian novel, is shockingly real.
That company is none other than BlackRock, an investment giant whose global reach is vast and whose power immense. The increasingly conspicuous role BlackRock plays in shaping global economics and politics has sounded the alarm bell for many, and rightly so.
BlackRock: The Powerhouse Behind the Curtain
Founded 35 years ago, BlackRock has steadily grown into a colossal economic force. As of early 2022, BlackRock Inc. managed around $10 trillion in assets, making it the largest asset manager on the globe. Boasting a significant number of shares in some of the world’s largest corporations, including tech giants like Amazon, Apple, and Google, and pharmaceutical behemoths like Moderna and Johnson & Johnson, BlackRock holds a worrying amount of control over the world’s wealth.
How did a company founded in 1988 by Larry Fink rise to such unprecedented heights? It’s a story of strategic moves, timed acquisitions, and a financial crisis that turned the tide in their favor.
After separating from Blackstone Inc., BlackRock went public in 1999. During the early 2000s, the company expanded its footprint, merging with several investment management firms, growing its assets under management to over $1 trillion.
It was the financial crisis of 2007-2008 that truly catapulted BlackRock to global dominance. Fink, who ironically played a significant role in creating the sub-prime mortgage market that collapsed in 2008, emerged from the crisis with BlackRock sitting on top. The firm’s influence didn’t stop at the financial markets, though. BlackRock, under Fink’s leadership, started to infiltrate national and international politics, securing lucrative contracts and placing former central bankers in key roles.
BlackRock and The Biden Administration
In recent years, the ties between BlackRock and the Biden administration have been increasingly obvious. After throwing his weight behind Biden’s presidential campaign, Fink’s BlackRock saw former employees land top positions in the administration. This includes Brian Deese as director of the National Economic Council and Deputy Treasury Secretary Adewale Adeyemo. This led many to conclude that the Biden administration’s economic policy is essentially run by BlackRock.
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic represented an opportunity for global elites, including BlackRock, to reshape the global economy and the financial system. The firm’s “going direct” strategy proposed bypassing the split monetary system and allowing central banks to pump money directly into private and public entities. This meant that, during the pandemic, the Fed could put money directly into organizations, with BlackRock managing its bailout programs.
BlackRock’s All-Powerful IT System
BlackRock’s impressive IT system, called Aladdin (asset, liability, debt and derivative investment network), manages well over $20 trillion worth of assets. This has placed a significant portion of the world’s wealth under the control of a single computer system. Aladdin is not just used by BlackRock, but is licensed to over 150 institutions including Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors, and major tech companies like Alphabet (Google), Apple, and Microsoft.
Pushing Woke Politics: BlackRock’s ESG Agenda
Fink’s influence over the corporate world extends to pushing the woke Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) agenda. This essentially acts as a social credit system for corporations, ensuring as “too similar” to the previous.AI detection tools have been designed to identify and possibly filter or moderate content that is generated by AI models.

The article so far raises questions and points out some controversial theories about BlackRock. It continues to delve deeper into its involvement in global politics and its agenda in the global economy.
In this rapidly evolving world, it seems that BlackRock is playing an alarmingly strategic game. They are pushing for the ESG agenda – a corporate social credit system – which imposes a whole new set of rules and guidelines for corporations worldwide. One must ask: Is BlackRock using its influence as a weapon, asserting its position as a corporate Trojan Horse to impose its political and social agenda?
A quote from a 2017 book by Naomi Klein, ‘No Is Not Enough,’ springs to mind: “Disaster Capitalism… exploits crises to push through policies that enrich a small elite.” Is BlackRock exploiting the global crises to push their agenda, thereby enriching the elite?
A Tight Grip on the Biden Administration
Indeed, one must acknowledge the seemingly close ties BlackRock shares with the current US administration. As we look at the Biden administration, we can’t help but wonder about the many BlackRock alumni holding key positions in the government. It’s as if BlackRock’s influence has spilled over from Wall Street to the White House.
In the land of the free and the brave, isn’t it alarming that one corporation seemingly holds so much influence? It makes one wonder: is BlackRock the unseen puppet master, pulling the strings behind the scenes?
Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped our world in many ways. But could it be that global elites used the pandemic as an opportunity to restructure the global economy? Is BlackRock, with its vast economic influence, a key player in this plan?
BlackRock’s revolutionary proposal of ‘going direct’ seems to be the new modus operandi of our financial system. This bypasses traditional systems, allowing the Fed to pump money directly into organizations. Could this be the dawn of a new financial era where monetary systems are subject to unprecedented control and manipulation?
The All-Powerful Aladdin
As we delve deeper into BlackRock’s operations, it becomes apparent that it’s not just about managing money. The corporation’s IT system, Aladdin, manages a significant portion of the world’s wealth. But the real concern is: Are algorithms and AI increasingly making our financial decisions?
Aladdin’s enormous power and its dominion over a significant part of global wealth cannot be overstated. We live in an era where AI and algorithms increasingly drive our decisions. Shouldn’t we worry that so much of the world’s wealth is now dependent on a single computer system, one that’s increasingly automated?
The question remains: Are the ESG benchmarks, promoted by Fink, truly for our benefit? Is this ‘green’ movement simply a façade for a much more sinister agenda? Are these merely tools to enforce compliance with the new world order, potentially jeopardizing the business ecosystem?
