LARRY FINK OF BLACKROCK - IS HE JOE BIDEN'S BIGGEST BRIBESTER AT $30 MILLION??? - BREAKING: James O’Keefe Confronts BlackRock Recruiter
The Sinister Reason Companies Are Going Woke (It’s Not What You Think!)
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said Sunday he no longer uses the term “ESG” when talking of investing, lamenting it has become politicized.
Fink spoke at the Aspen Ideas Festival, announcing the term Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing is now past, arguing it has been “politically weaponized” and he is “ashamed’ to be part of the debate.
“When I write these [investment] letters, it was never meant to be a political statement. … They were written to identify long-term issues to our long-term investors,” he said.
However, when pressed on his statement, he backtracked, saying, “I never said I was ashamed. I’m not ashamed. I do believe in conscientious capitalism.”
Fink said ESG has been “misused” by the far left and the far right.
He continued, “we talk a lot about decarbonization, we talk a lot about governance … or social issues, if that’s something we need to address.”
BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager, which handles more than $9 trillion.
BlackRock and CEO Larry Fink have been leading the way on ESG investing, which has become the latest vector through which large financial institutions can push publicly listed companies to adopt positions such as boosting diversity, increasing climate change programs, promoting racial justice, and other leftist positions.
During a 2017 New York Times DealBook conference, Fink said that BlackRock is “forcing behaviors” to boost diversity. The video recently went viral.

“You have to force behaviors,” Fink said. “If you don’t force behaviors, whether it’s gender or race, or just anyway you want to say the composition of your team, you’re going to be impacted,” Fink remarked.
A BlackRock spokesperson defended Fink’s statements, telling Breitbart News in a written statement:
This nearly six-year-old clip misconstruing Larry’s words about BlackRock’s own approach to its employees has been circulating for years on social media and is often taken out of context. As a fiduciary, BlackRock’s actions serve one purpose: maximizing long-term financial value for our clients. As an employer, BlackRock seeks to hire employees from a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives because we believe this diversity is critical to delivering for our clients in a rapidly changing world.
Breitbart News has discussed just a few of the ways BlackRock has leveraged its significant positions in publicly listed companies to back leftist positions. These include:
In April 2021, BlackRock, which owns 7.5 percent of Abbott Labs, pushed the company to publish a report to disclose the company’s plan to promote racial justice. BlackRock pushed for the move against the wishes of Abbott’s leadership.
In a comment about its vote for the proposal, BlackRock commented, “We recognize the Company’s efforts to date, but believe that supporting the proposal may accelerate company’s progress on material social issues.”
In May 2021, BlackRock urged United Parcel Services (UPS), of which Blackrock owns 7.3 percent, to issue a report on how the company plans to reduce emissions in alignment with the Paris Agreement’s goal of holding “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and making “efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.”
BlackRock voted for this proposal, commenting, “We are supportive of the company’s efforts to date with respect to this material climate issue but believe that voting in favor may accelerate the company’s progress.”
In May 2022, Blackrock, which owns 6.8 percent of Home Depot, pushed the company to adopt a shareholder proposal to “oversee an independent racial equity audit analyzing Home Depot’s adverse impacts on nonwhite stakeholders and communities of color. Input from civil rights organizations, employees, and customers should be considered in determining the specific matters to be analyzed.”
BlackRock commented, “We believe it is in the best interests of shareholders to have access to greater disclosure on this issue.”
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), a member of the Senate Banking Committee, said that the company should be “dealt with accordingly” for engaging in “illegal and immoral conduct.”

“This was not because of difficulties in securing indictments or convictions. On the contrary, Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate committee in March of 2013 that the Obama administration chose not to prosecute the big banks or their CEOs because to do so might “have a negative impact on the national economy.”
OBAMANOMICS TO SERVE BANKSTERS AND GLOBAL BILLIONAIRES
One of the premier institutions of big business, JP Morgan Chase, issued an internal report on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2008 crash, which warned that another “great liquidity crisis” was possible, and that a government bailout on the scale of that effected by Bush and Obama will produce social unrest, “in light of the potential impact of central bank actions in driving inequality between asset owners and labor."
During his presidency, Obama bragged that his administration was “the only thing between [Wall Street] and the pitchforks.”
In fact, Obama handed the robber barons and outright criminals responsible for the 2008–09 financial crisis a multi-trillion-dollar bailout. His administration oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth in history from the bottom to the top one percent, spearheading the attack on the living standards of teachers and autoworkers.
The Republican staff of the US House Committee on Financial Services released a report Monday presenting its findings on why the Obama Justice Department and then-Attorney General Eric Holder chose not to prosecute the British-based HSBC bank for laundering billions of dollars for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels.
Wall Street Windfall: BlackRock Tapped to Rebuild Ukraine’s Economy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is tapping Wall Street firms like BlackRock and JPMorgan to help garner private and public investments to rebuild Ukraine amid its war with Russia.
Through the Ukraine Development Fund, BlackRock and JPMorgan will “mobilize capital from private and public sector investors toward rebuilding the Ukrainian economy,” according to CNN, as financial investors admit they see the fund as a lucrative windfall.
Private investors see a “tremendous opportunity” to invest in Ukraine’s post-war future, according to Stefan Weiler, JPMorgan’s head of debt capital markets for central and eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. [Emphasis added]
…
It’s an opportunity to “socialize” the idea of the fund and its mission, which is to “attract as much private sector capital into the reconstruction of Ukraine as possible,” said Brandon Hall, co-head of BlackRock’s Financial Markets Advisory arm. [Emphasis added]
Wall Street’s involvement in helping to rebuild Ukraine comes as journalist James O’Keefe published footage of BlackRock employee Serge Varlay saying the country’s war with Russia is “good for business”
“I’ll give an example: Russia blows up Ukraine’s grain silos. The price of wheat is gonna go mad up … the Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market,” Varlay said. “Prices of bread, you know, literally everything goes up and down. This is fantastic if you’re trading.”
“Volatility creates opportunity to make profit … war is real fucking good for business,” Varlay continued.
American taxpayers, specifically, have funded Ukraine’s war with Russia to the sum of billions — making the war especially profitable for Department of Defense contractors like Raytheon Technologies, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman.
Since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the Defense Department had estimated that it sent nearly $41 billion in taxpayer money to aid Ukraine.
This week, though, agency officials said they made a $6.2 billion “misevaluation.”

JOE BIDEN is known as a serial liar, a "public servant" who has somehow managed to accrue tremendous wealth, a race-baiting opportunist, a Catholic-in-name-only, and a bought-and-paid-for politician in bed with criminal cartels and foreign foes. In another era, Joe Biden would have been run out of his country much the same way Benedict Arnold was two and a half centuries ago; in an era when integrity, honor, fortitude, fidelity, and grit have been jettisoned for immorality, unscrupulousness, weakness, betrayal, and craven pliability, however, he is elevated to king sleazeball in a city drowning in sleaze.

Pentagon Says It Has $6.2B More for Ukraine After Accounting Error
The Pentagon announced Tuesday it miscalculated the value of U.S. military equipment it had taken from its stocks and given to Ukraine, and now has an extra $6.2 billion more in equipment it can send.
Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh announced at a press conference that in its “regular oversight” of its authority to transfer U.S. military equipment to Ukraine, “we discovered inconsistencies in equipment valuation for Ukraine.
She said that in a “significant number of cases,” the U.S. military services had used replacement costs for the transferred equipment rather than the net book value of the equipment, which ended up overestimating the value of the equipment provided to Ukraine.
“Once we discovered this misvaluation, the Comptroller reissued guidance on March 31st clarifying how to value equipment in line with the financial management regulation and DOD policy to ensure we use the most accurate of accounting methods,” Singh said.
She said the amount the DOD overestimated for fiscal year 2023 was $3.6 billion for fiscal year 2023 and $2.6 billion for fiscal year 2022, for a combined total of $6.2 billion.
Singh said the miscalculation did not affect any prior transfers to Ukraine, and that the Pentagon “retains the authority to utilize” the “recaptured” authority to transfer that amount of equipment.
The news that the Pentagon would pony up an extra $6.2 billion for Ukraine was met with outrage from the right and the left.
Nina Turner, a former Ohio state senator tweeted: “A $6.2 BILLION DOLLAR ACCOUNTING ERROR?!”
Joe Kent, a Republican candidate for a U.S. House of Representatives seat in Washington, tweeted: “This is absurd. The DOD cannot be allowed to operate like this. Make the DOD account for every penny, show congress & the American ppl exactly where our money is going. “Secure our border w/spare 3 billion the DOD bean counters just ‘found,'” he added.
Prior to the accounting error, the Department of Defense had calculated that it has send more than $40.7 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration, including more than $40 billion since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Biden, long known as Delaware’s “senator from DuPont,” Biden served on committees that were most sensitive to the interests of the ruling class, including the Judiciary Committee and the Foreign Relations Committee. He supported the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, a milestone in the deregulation of the banks, and other right-wing measures.

BLACKROCK PUMPED $30 MILLION INTO THE BIDEN ELECTION FRAUD WHICH BOUGHT THEM A PLACE IN THE BIDEN WHITE HOUSE UNDER BLACKROCK'S BRIAN DEESE.
What has taken so long? We’ve all heard about the younger Biden making millions from shady business associations in Ukraine, China and other countries. He didn’t pay taxes on much of it, and only paid his tax bill when a new friend in Hollywood, Kevin Morris, who also just happens to be a big donor to Joe Biden’s campaign, stepped in to pay the back taxes — about $2 million — as well as Hunter’s sky-high living expenses. The idea was that Morris’ largesse would allow Hunter to say to the Justice Department: “Look, I paid my taxes. I’m clean. Let’s move on.”
Zelensky Meets with BlackRock Vice Chairman as Globalists Salivate over Lucrative Reconstruction Contracts..
OF COURSE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL COVER THE COST OF REBUILDING UKRAINE EVEN AS BIDEN REFUSES TO DEFEND AMERICA'S BORDER WITH NARCOMEX!
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met management representatives from the globalist investment firm BlackRock in Kyiv this week to discuss the formation of a massive fund for the reconstruction of the war-torn country.
In a meeting with Philipp Hildebrand, Vice Chairman of BlackRock, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that the sit down will send a “strong signal of strengthening the investment climate.”
“The details of the creation of an investment fund to restore Ukraine’s economy were discussed at a meeting with the management of the largest asset management company in the world, BlackRock. The main goal of the fund’s creation is to attract private and public capital for implementing large-scale business projects in Ukraine,” the president wrote on Telegram.
“It is important not only for our people, our society, but also for business, entrepreneurs abroad. Today is a historic moment because, since the very first days of independence, we have not had such huge investment cases in Ukraine. We are proud that we can initiate such a process,” Zelensky added.
BlackRock, the infamous investment firm backing the controversial ESG (Environmental Social Governance) scheme often likened to the Chinese Communist Party’s social credit score, said that the company has agreed to provide support for Ukraine’s Development Fund.
“It is a historic moment if not the greatest opportunity to unite the private and public sectors at a time when technological innovation can become a catalyst for further development,” Philipp Hildebrand said.
Globalist onlookers have for some time been champing at the bit to take advantage of the potentially lucrative opportunities to rebuild Ukraine following over a year of Russian assaults on the country, with European leaders, in particular, seeing a possible solution to the economic woes of their own countries by scooping up reconstruction contracts from Kyiv.
Speaking from Davos at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in January, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stressed the looming business boon of reconstructing the country, saying that German businesses should expect the benefits of a “Ukrainian economic miracle”.
The left-wing Chancellor said that he envisioned German firms being at the forefront of a “Marshall Plan for the long-term reconstruction of Ukraine”.
“Private-sector capital will play a key role here. I know that many companies in Germany and beyond are very aware of the opportunities that a Ukrainian economic miracle could offer to them,” Scholz added.
More recently, last month, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who has come under criticism from her populist base for her strident support of the Zelensky government, held a bilateral conference in Rome attended by scores of Italian and Ukrainian businesses. At the meeting, Meloni went on to call for the European Union to fast-track the admission of Ukraine.
For his part, Zelesnky has long stressed the business opportunities awaiting allies at the conclusion of the war, with the president claiming back in September that the estimated cost of rebuilding the country had already climbed above one trillion dollars.
Zelensky, who has long been in contact with BlackRock and other potential investors, said at the time that: “the general project of Ukrainian reconstruction will be the largest economic project in Europe of our time. The largest for several generations.”
In 2018 and 2020, Breitbart Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer published Secret Empires and Profiles in Corruption. Each book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and exposed how Hunter Biden and Joe Biden flew aboard Air Force Two in 2013 to China before Hunter’s firm inked a $1.5 billion deal with a subsidiary of the Chinese government’s Bank of China less than two weeks after the trip. Schweizer’s work also uncovered the Biden family’s other vast and lucrative foreign deals and cronyism.
It's currently unknown whether he met with foul play or voluntarily dropped out of sight. However, what is well established is that since that fateful interview with the FBI in March 2019, Luft has made powerful enemies in both Chinese and American intelligence and, of course, in the Biden syndicate.
Last February, Dr. Gal Luft, a retired Israel Defense Forces lieutenant colonel with deep intelligence ties in Washington and Beijing, was arrested as an alleged gun runner. At the time, he claimed the arrest was to stop him from revealing what he knows about the Biden crime family and FBI corruption. Now, Dr. Luft has disappeared entirely.
In the early 2000s, Luft formed a think tank called the Institute for Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) that focused on energy innovations and policy. Accordingly, from 2015 to 2018, Luft organized international energy conferences. He did this in partnership, with the China Energy Fund Committee (CEFC-USA), the non-profit arm of CEFC, China’s huge energy conglomerate that was headed by one Ye Jianming. Ye reportedly has ties to Chinese military intelligence. CEFC-USA, in turn, was headed by Patrick Ho.
According to documents in the laptop, the Biden family began their ties with CEFC in 2015. In May 2017 … the Bidens formed Sinohawk Holdings to carry out their partnership with CEFC. CEFC agreed to pay Sinohawk $5 million andtransfer another $5 million to the Biden family as a gift. (Emphasis added.)
Hunter met with Ye, over a private dinner in early February 2017, at which the CEFC chairman made him a generous offer of $10 million a year, for a minimum of three years.
The funds, suspiciously, were earmarked for “introductions alone.”
Later in the summer of 2017, Ye was concerned that Patrick Ho might be under investigation and asked Hunter Biden for help. Hunter told the New Yorker that he agreed to represent Ho and to “try to figure out” if he was under scrutiny by law enforcement.
So where does Gal Luft fit into this? In February 2023, Gal Luft found himself detained in Cyprus on arms trafficking charges as he was about to head for Israel. He claimed that this was politically motivated because had dirt on both the FBI and the Biden family. He’d tried to inform the DOJ in 2019, during Trump’s presidency, but was ignored. Now, though, with things heating up around Biden, says Luft, he’s being silenced.
He contends that Hunter Biden had an FBI mole named “One-Eye.” That mole told Ye and Ho that the DOJ was investigating them. Further, said Luft,
Soon after that tipoff, Ye offered Hunter $1 million to be his “private counsel” and flew to China, leaving his wife, daughter, son, mother, and nanny in his $50 million penthouse at 15 Central Park West.
He was detained in Shanghai three months later and disappeared.
Before he left New York, Ye told Ho that the coast was clear for him to come back to the US.
On Nov. 18, 2017, Ho flew into JFK Airport, where he was arrested by FBI agents on bribery and money laundering charges.
Ho’s arrest provided another shady business opportunity for Hunter. From the same article:
“Hunter was paid $1 million by CEFC to represent Ho, which entailed contacting his FBI sources on Ho’s behalf and engaging another attorney to do the legal work, according to emails on his laptop.”
Luft claims he contacted the DOJ after Ho was jailed and federal investigators flew to Brussels to interview him in the presence of his attorney Robert Henoch for more than 18 hours on March 28 and 29, 2019. (Emphasis added.)
While the Hunter info is interesting, what’s really significant is that Luft told the DOJ that an FBI insider was “selling sealed U.S. law enforcement information to Chinese individuals”—and the DOJ didn’t care.
Now, though, Congressman Comer’s House Oversight Committee has been investigating Luft’s claims:
In a March 2 interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox, Comer referred to Luft as “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” He said that after word got out of Luft’s arrest, “we’ve had three people that were involved in the Hunter Biden shady business schemes that have communicated with my committee staff.”
The reason Luft’s information mattered so much is that it helped explain the money Hunter Biden was bringing in, As Robert Henoch, Luft’s lawyer said,
“Congress has the Biden bank records but it doesn’t know the reason for the payments. Now it does. The information that the whistleblower Dr. Luft gave the DOJ four years ago is the missing link for the reason behind the China-Biden money transfers. Clearly, this is explosive stuff.” (Emphasis added.)
It was this information, which lay dormant in the DOJ for so many years that was the predicate to Luft’s arrest on what he claims are trumped-up charges of arms trafficking to China and Libya and violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. One must ask why, if Luft was such a notorious gun runner, he wasn’t arrested over four years ago in March 2019 when he spent 18 hours telling FBI agents everything he knew about the Bidens and Hunter.
Moreover, while the warrant was issued in November 2022, and it spells out heinous crimes, Luft wasn’t arrested for another three months:
The government issued its arrest warrant in November. It has a cooperative agreement and relationship with the Israeli Ministry of Justice and state prosecution. And yet, it didn’t communicate the arrest warrant to Israel. Israeli officials could have arrested and investigated Luft at any time. (Emphasis added.)
That long delay, standing alone, is suspicious. Immediately after his arrest, Luft went public about his claims regarding the FBI, the Bidens, and China:
Luft’s arrest prompted concern for his safety. On March 23, former congressman Steve King shared his worries on Twitter:
King may have been right to worry. Things took a sinister turn at the end of March. Luft, who was being held in a Cyprus jail awaiting a hearing to determine if he should be extradited to the United States, was released on bail after finally securing the necessary funds. And then he disappeared:
In March, a Cypriot court deliberating a US extradition request had instructed him to surrender his passport to authorities and post 400,000 euros as bail before being released from custody. He was also required to register at the Paphos police station weekly but failed for the past month and did not appear for three trial dates. Luft’s car was found abandoned on the island a day after his disappearance was reported.
It's currently unknown whether he met with foul play or voluntarily dropped out of sight. However, what is well established is that since that fateful interview with the FBI in March 2019, Luft has made powerful enemies in both Chinese and American intelligence and, of course, in the Biden syndicate.
The Justice Department has been investigating President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden for a long time. The probe began in 2018, before the elder Biden even decided to run for president. It is now in its fifth year. Hunter Biden has not been charged with any wrongdoing. The investigation continues.
What has taken so long? We’ve all heard about the younger Biden making millions from shady business associations in Ukraine, China and other countries. He didn’t pay taxes on much of it, and only paid his tax bill when a new friend in Hollywood, Kevin Morris, who also just happens to be a big donor to Joe Biden’s campaign, stepped in to pay the back taxes — about $2 million — as well as Hunter’s sky-high living expenses. The idea was that Morris’ largesse would allow Hunter to say to the Justice Department: “Look, I paid my taxes. I’m clean. Let’s move on.”
Hunter Biden also retained a new, high-powered legal team, plus an aggressive public relations team, and in January, the New York Times reported that the Justice Department, in the person of the U.S. attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, was moving toward letting Hunter off easy. From the Times, on Jan. 11: “Mr. Weiss, people familiar with the investigation say, appears to be focused on a less politically explosive set of possible charges stemming from [Biden’s] failure to meet filing deadlines for his 2016 and 2017 tax returns, and questions about whether he falsely claimed at least $30,000 in deductions for business expenses.”
That’s a slap on the wrist! What a deal! If the leak was true — and who knows exactly what path it took into the New York Times — then Hunter Biden was heading toward a very happy ending to his corruption investigation. The probe would take years and years and then … fizzle out.
How exactly might that happen? Now there is a new story that could help explain what has been going on. A whistleblower has emerged from inside the Internal Revenue Service, which has been working with the Justice Department on the Hunter Biden investigation. The whistleblower is a career IRS criminal supervisory special agent who has retained a lawyer and written a letter to Congress claiming the Biden administration is interfering with the investigation into the president’s son.
The anonymous special agent retained a lawyer, Mark Lytle, who took the matter to the inspectors general of both the IRS and the Justice Department. Now, Lytle has written to the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate tax and judiciary committees. According to the letter, the special agent can detail “examples of preferential treatment and politics improperly infecting decisions and protocols that would normally be followed by career law enforcement professionals in similar circumstances if the subject were not politically connected.” The special agent can also tell about “clear conflicts of interest” as well as possible false testimony to Congress about the case.
Now the whistleblower wants to tell the story to Congress — but only if he can secure the “appropriate legal protections.” “Despite serious risks of retaliation,” Lytle wrote, “my client is offering to provide you with information necessary to exercise your constitutional oversight function.” In addition, Lytle said, the special agent wants to give information to Congress “in a non-partisan manner,” which is why the letter was sent to both Republican and Democratic lawmakers.
It would be an understatement to say that Republicans on the Hill gave the whistleblower letter a positive reception. It’s a “game changer,” Senate Judiciary Committee member Lindsey Graham told Fox News recently. “This is somebody in the IRS at a high level who apparently is willing to come forward to tell Congress that during the investigation of Hunter Biden, there was obstruction, there was a thumb on the scale to the point that they feel they need to let the Congress know if this is true. And I don’t know yet, but if this is true, if the Department of Justice yet again puts their thumb on the scale politically, then all hell is going to break out and there will be hell to pay.”
It should be said that Graham can be a big talker, but there is no doubt that if the whistleblower’s allegations — whatever they are — are both true and significant, they could make big waves in the Hunter Biden investigation, which House Republicans frequently point out is really a Joe Biden investigation. Realizing the risk, some Democrats are cautiously saying they want to know more about the whistleblower’s story.
What else could they say? Three years ago, Democrats went to the barricades to defend an anonymous CIA employee who filed a legally baseless whistleblower complaint against then-President Donald Trump in the Ukraine matter. It was legally baseless because there is no legal process for filing a whistleblower complaint against the president of the United States. There is no inspector general, no supervisor, who has the authority to investigate the president.
Nevertheless, House Democrats embraced the whistleblower and his complaint all the way to Trump’s first impeachment. They did that because they could; in the House of Representatives, the majority can do what it wants. Now Republicans have the majority in the House, and another whistleblower escapade could be coming into view.
