The Illusion Of Competition
Two great articles from Lew Rockwell and the Conservative Treehouse break down the illusion of competition presented in our “capitalistic” economy.
Starting with Lew Rockwell:
Who Runs The World? Blackrock and Vanguard
If you’ve been wondering how the world economy has been hijacked and humanity has been kidnapped by a completely bogus narrative, look no further than this video by Dutch creator, Covid Lie.
What she uncovers is that the stock of the world’s largest corporations are owned by the same institutional investors. They all own each other. This means that “competing” brands, like Coke and Pepsi aren’t really competitors, at all, since their stock is owned by exactly the same investment companies, investment funds, insurance companies, banks and in some cases, governments. This is the case, across all industries. As she says:
“The smaller investors are owned by larger investors. Those are owned by even bigger investors. The visible top of this pyramid shows only two companies whose names we have often seen…They are Vanguard and BlackRock. The power of these two companies is beyond your imagination. Not only do they own a large part of the stocks of nearly all big companies but also the stocks of the investors in those companies. This gives them a complete monopoly.
A Bloomberg report states that both these companies in the year 2028, together will have investments in the amount of 20 trillion dollars. That means that they will own almost everything.
Bloomberg calls BlackRock “The fourth branch of government”, because it’s the only private agency that closely works with the central banks. BlackRock lends money to the central bank but it’s also the advisor. It also develops the software the central bank uses. Many BlackRock employees were in the White House with Bush and Obama. Its CEO. Larry Fink can count on a warm welcome from leaders and politicians. Not so strange, if you know that he is the front man of the ruling company but Larry Fink does not pull the strings himself.
BlackRock, itself is also owned by shareholders. Who are those shareholders? We come to a strange conclusion. The biggest shareholder is Vanguard. But now he gets murky. Vanguard is a private company and we cannot see who the shareholders are. The elite who own Vanguard apparently do not like being in the spotlight but of course they cannot hide from who is willing to dig.
Reports from Oxfam and Bloomberg say that 1% of the world, together owns more money than the other 99%. Even worse, Oxfam says that 82% of all earned money in 2017 went to this 1%.
In other words, these two investment companies, Vanguard and BlackRock hold a monopoly in all industries in the world and they, in turn are owned by the richest families in the world, some of whom are royalty and who have been very rich since before the Industrial Revolution. Why doesn’t everybody know this? Why aren’t there movies and documentaries about this? Why isn’t it in the news? Because 90% of the international media is owned by nine media conglomerates.
The different centralizer groups (isolated class vs sensitive cultural markers vs intelligentsia vs politburo) all work with one another to centralize power, control, and wealth away from everyone else.
The “free” market just gives them a complete monopoly to do so.
On to treehouse:
BlackRock in The White House
With Joe Biden in the White House you can expect to hear the name “Blackrock” in the headlines connected to a variety of issues from real estate purchasing to green energy projects with massive domestic and international investments.
BlackRock, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries) is a massive publicly traded multinational investment firm with over $8.68 trillion in assets under management [December 31, 2020 financial statement] in more than 100 countries across the globe. To say that Blackrock is invested in globalism, climate change and leftist politics, would be a severe understatement {See Here}. Larry Fink is the CEO and people like Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s attorney of record, are on the board.
[…]
So let me just summarize this…. The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute, the guy who tells the $8.7 trillion investment firm BlackRock where to put their money, has a brother who is the Senior Advisor to Joe Biden; has a wife who is the White House Personnel Director; and has a daughter who is now on the National Security Council.
Put another way… Tom Donilon’s literal job description for BlackRock is to: “leverage the firm’s expertise and generate proprietary research to provide insights on the global economy, markets, geopolitics and long-term asset allocation,” and his wife is in charge of White House personnel, his brother is Senior Advisor to the President, and his daughter is on the National Security Council.
You seeing this? Conflicts and insider information much?
Think about the ~$8.7 trillion figure for a second. If they were a country, they would be the third largest in the world by GDP. More than countries such as Japan, Germany, and the UK.
Your livelihood, your market, your country, your culture, your people, your family – everything is owned and manipulated by these entities. Always to your loss.
There is an odd illusion of freedom and illusion of competition on the right. They truly believe that the “capitalistic” society we live under has elements of competition or freedom in it. This theory, after accounting for the above information, is completely asinine. It doesn’t and hasn’t for a long time. But the brainwashing is deep. They view capitalism as their savior, when unrestricted capitalism is what led to this.
They painted it as capitalism vs socialism to the boomers and the boomers took the bait. Boomers will rage on against socialism, as these isolated class entities literally centralize everything in the exact same manner. Albeit, it’s not an evil “government” doing it. But did no one stop to think that giant, international mega-corporations could also be evil? That it isn’t just the government we should be worried about?
Many in my generation are falling for it too. To a lesser extent than the boomers, but there is still a sizable amount.
The economic system means little to the centralizers. They used capitalism and the “free” market to accumulate this wealth. Now, with the advantages from their centralization of the free market economy, they will promote socialism so that they can get even further centralization (but of a political instead of financial kind). They use whichever is to their benefit. It’s never been about capitalism versus socialism. It’s about the people versus the ruling class. A ruling class that hates you under capitalism will be just as damaging and dangerous to you as one under socialism. The economic system is less important than the recognition of what battlefield we are playing on.
The economy and the economic system is not the end-goal. It’s a means to reach it. They’ve used it as such but taught us the opposite. Until we break off of this illusionary control, we will keep fighting for methods that do not matter and will not save us.
Until we handle the centralizer groups in society, it doesn’t matter what economic system we have. They will use it to their benefit and slowly degrade and degenerate the nation. The root issue is, and always will be, dealing with this class. Otherwise, you’re just playing by their set rules.
It’s all a giant game and they make the rules for both sides.
