BlackRock vs Belt&Road
War is upon us
From Laura Ruggeri:-
‘Oh, please, do enlighten me once more. What was that riveting tale of a bold, fearless US president single-handedly battling the Deep State and triumphantly draining the swamp? I’m just dying to hear it again.
Trump accused China of controlling the Panama canal (it doesn't!) and vowed to "take it back", then sent Marco Rubio to deliver a mafia-style warning to the President of Panama that persuaded him to withdraw from the Belt&Road Initiative, and now look who is swooping in.
BlackRock struck a $23 billion deal to place Panama Canal ports under its control. What a stellar display of teamwork!
CK Hutchison, the Hong Kong-based conglomerate that operates ports near the Panama Canal, was forced to sell its shares to a consortium led by BlackRock.
The deal will give the BlackRock consortium control over 43 ports in 23 countries, including Mexico, the Netherlands, Egypt, Australia, Pakistan and elsewhere.’
From the Chinese Embassy in the US:-
Trump is all about dominance, not diplomacy. Putin might even broker a deal between Iran and the US as a thanks to Trump for a good deal with Ukraine. This would enable US oligarchs to strong-arm Iran over its resources and turn it into an economic colony, as it has done with Argentina (the US blocked BRICS entry, deregulated, de-industrialised, deforested and own a large percentage of the lucrative beef export market) as well as with Ukraine.
As accurately predicted the Arctic ice is melting, so watch out people of Canada and Kalaallit Nunaat (sometimes known by its colonial name of Greenland) Trump and his ‘diplomacy’ are coming for you.
Trump is saying all the quiet things out loud. He doesn’t have to pretend it’s about aid or democracy- it’s purely about his confidence in the divine right of whites, men, Americans and BlackRock to rule the world.
The battle lines are drawn. US corporate interests vs international co-operation. Fossil fuel vs greener energy. Hegemony vs multipolarity. Extortion vs investment for mutual growth. Christian Nationalism vs Socialism. Rules based order vs international law. Unregulated free markets vs employee, animal and environmental protections. SEZs vs NHS and public property. The US and its vassals vs China and the BRICS. The US super-rich vs everyone else.
Unfortunately the UK is fatefully tied to the former, it is already selling off its assets to BlackRock’s control and must stomach Trump 2.0, however much he insults us, because we need to trade with the US. Yes, UK military spending is pointless but following Trump and Musk around the world like a dog while they trample all over sovereignty and employee and environmental protections is not the way to go either. We need to support co-operation between nations not colonisation by US oligarchs.
From Leecamp:-
‘We are in the midst of a climate crisis. Not sure if you’ve heard. A recent study found that if we stay on this course we might not have clouds in 100 years. (But not to worry, by then we also won’t have humans to care.) And here are the top shareholders of ExxonMobil: Vanguard, State Street, BlackRock and Fidelity. Here are the top shareholders of Chevron: Vanguard, State Street and BlackRock. The top shareholders of BP: Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street. Shell Oil’s top shareholders: Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street and Fidelity. You get the point?’
The WEF agenda is not the same as the BlackRock agenda. The latter created the former. BlackRock have no interest in 15 minute cities. BlackRock are shareholders in big fossil fuel and there'll do anything to keep us using it in the face of the climate crisis. Even launch a massive global campaign about despised hypocrites in Davos plotting to depopulate the world, fake climate change and force us to be vegan. There never was a globalist agenda. It was invented by Trump/Musk in order to save us from it. Trump/Musk are fulfilling the mission of making the poor really, really poor and the rich really, really rich.
But the real kicker is that no-one can win. War or development and growth both accelerate the environmental crisis until humans can’t survive on the planet. It’s a road to nowhere.

Enriching the already wealthy has been the US tactic almost from its inception. Now that wealthy hedge funds pretty much own the world, it will be extremely difficult to achieve multi-polarity before the entire planet becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blackrock, Vanguard, et. al.
