How BlackRock Conquered the World — Part 1: A Brief History of BlackRock
How BlackRock Conquered the World — Part 1: A Brief History of BlackRock
Corbett11/13/2022
Let's play a little game.
Let's imagine you're Joe Q. Normie and you need to run out for some groceries. You hop in the car and head to the store. What store do you go to? Why, Walmart, of course!
And, being an unwitting victim of the sugar conspiracy, what do you buy when you're there? Coke, naturally!
And you can get jabbed at Walmart these days, right? Well then, you might as well make sure you get your sixth Moderna booster while you're there!
And don't forget to fill up with gas on your way home!
Is this creeping you out? Then why don't you shut yourself in your house and never go out shopping again? That'll show 'em! After all, you can always order whatever you need from Amazon, can't you?
Are you noticing a pattern here? Yes, in case you haven't heard, BlackRock, Inc. is now officially everywhere. It owns everything.
Sadly for us, however, the creepy corporate claws of the BlackRock beast aren't content simply to clutch onto a near plurality of the shares of every major corporation in the world. No, BlackRock is now digging its talons in even further and flexing its muscles, putting that inconceivable wealth and influence to use by completely reordering the economy, creating scamdemics and shaping the course of civilization in the process.
Let's face it: if you're not concerned about the power BlackRock wields over the world by this point, then you're not paying attention.
But don't worry if all of this is news to you. Most people have no idea where this investment giant came from, how it clawed its way to the top of the Wall Street dogpile, or what it has planned for your future.
Let's fill that gap in public understanding. Over the course of this investigative series, you're going to get a crash course in the creepiest company you've never heard of.
This week I will give A Brief History of Blackrock and describe how it came to be the economic and political juggernaut it is today.
In Part 2 of this series, we will examine 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.
And in Part 3, 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.

If you read Part 1 of the How BlackRock Conquered the World series, you will know how BlackRock went from an obscure investment firm in the 1980s to one of the most powerful asset managers in the world after the Global Financial Crisis of 2007—2008. You will also know how BlackRock's CEO, Larry Fink, wasted no time in using the company's immense riches—with over $10 trillion under management and a position as one of the top three institutional investors in seemingly every Fortune 500 company—to gain political power.
But Fink and his lackeys were not interested in accruing power merely for its own sake. No, the point of getting power is to use it. So the question is: how did they use this newly acquired political power?
Well, did you hear about a little thing called the COVID-19 pandemic? If you're reading The Corbett Report, then you likely already know that the events of the last three years had nothing whatsoever to do with a virus. But if the pandemic was actually a scamdemic and it was never really about a viral contagion, then what was it about?
There are, of course, many answers to that question. The scamdemic served a number of agendas and the various players on the grand chessboard each had their own incentives for playing along with it. But one of the most important—not to mention one of the most overlooked—answers is that the scamdemic was, at base, a financial coup d'état. And that entire coup d'état was engineered by (you guessed it) BlackRock.
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.
This week, I will explain 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.
And in Part 3, I will examine the Aladdin system and the other creepy ways BlackRock is planning to use its power to mould society in its own interest.
Want to know the details? Of course you do. Let's dive in.

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.
