How BlackRock Conquered the World — Part 3: Aladdin’s Genie and the Future of the World

by | Nov 28, 2022 | Newsletter | 39 comments

As those who have been following the How BlackRock Conquered the World series know by now, BlackRock, Inc. started out as an asset management subsidiary of investment giant The Blackstone Group, but quickly spun off into its own entity. It made its mark by emphasizing risk management for its clients, and by the time the Global Financial Crisis hit in 2008, BlackRock was perfectly positioned to take over Wall Street, helping to sort through the mess of toxic subprime mortgages that BlackRock CEO Larry Fink had helped pioneer decades before.

And, as we saw last week, BlackRock leveraged this power to begin shaping the course of events. The firm proposed a radical new form of market intervention that central banks could use to pump money directly into the retail economy, and just weeks later the Federal Reserve was employing that very “Going Direct” plan in its repo market intervention. The scamdemic, as it turns out, was largely an excuse for the Fed to cover its multi-trillion-dollar market intervention and for BlackRock to consolidate its mammoth economic and political power by engineering yet another bailout for the benefit of its own investments.

At this point in our exploration, we find ourselves confronting the most important question of all: now that BlackRock has scaled the summit of Mount Olympus and is in control of a mind-boggling amount of wealth, what are Larry Fink and his gang planning to do with their newfound powers? As we shall see, this is not a trivial question. In fact, BlackRock’s ambition is nothing less than to shape the course of civilization for the benefit of itself and its Wall Street cronies.

In Part 1 of this series, A Brief History of Blackrock, I described how BlackRock came to be the economic and political juggernaut it is today.

In Part 2 of this series, I examined how BlackRock’s Going Direct reset paved the way for the massive economic and monetary transition that we have just lived through under the cover of the scamdemic.

This week, we will examine the Aladdin system and the other creepy ways BlackRock is planning to use its power to mould society in its own interest.
