00:00:00.000 All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. 0.91
00:00:04.140 You can take this big f*** ton of money, and then you can start to buy people.
00:00:09.480 I work for a company called BlackRock.
00:00:12.220 Meet Serge Varley, a recruiter at BlackRock.
00:00:16.560 Let me tell you, it's not who's the president, it's who's controlling the wallet from the president.
00:00:24.740 And who's that?
00:00:25.740 The hedge funds, the banks, these guys are paying financing.
00:00:32.880 Yep, you can buy your candidates.
00:00:35.040 Obviously, we have the system in place.
00:00:37.240 First, there's the Senate. 1.00
00:00:38.580 These guys f***. 0.99
00:00:39.700 You've got 10 grand, you can buy a senator. 0.99
00:00:41.880 I could give you 500K right now, no questions asked.
00:00:44.280 Yeah.
00:00:44.660 Identity is done.
00:00:46.240 Does, like, everybody do that?
00:00:47.680 Does BlackRock do that?
00:00:48.640 It doesn't matter who wins.
00:00:51.420 They're still...
00:00:52.260 They're my pocketbook.
00:00:53.340 Here's Serge Varley on how good war is for BlackRock's business.
00:00:59.800 Do you have any, um, thoughts on the Ukraine-Russia war?
00:01:04.100 Yeah, I mean, I do have thoughts.
00:01:05.980 What are they?
00:01:07.000 Ukraine is good for business.
00:01:09.380 You know, right?
00:01:10.440 I'll give an example.
00:01:11.400 Russia... 0.54
00:01:12.480 Russia blows up Ukraine's grain.
00:01:15.160 The price of wheat is going to go mad up.
00:01:18.140 The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market.
00:01:22.580 Global wheat market.
00:01:24.060 Prices of bread and, you know, literally everything goes up and down.
00:01:29.200 This is fantastic if you're trading.
00:01:32.440 Volatility creates opportunity to make profit.
00:01:35.080 War is no f***ing good for business.
00:01:36.960 It's exciting when s*** goes wrong, right? 0.78
00:01:40.880 RockRock manages $20 trillion.
00:01:44.700 It's incomprehensible numbers.
00:01:46.660 BlackRock's Serge Varley says all of this is above a normal person's understanding.
00:01:53.280 You're like an undercover reporter.
00:01:55.440 I don't know what normal people are doing. 1.00
00:01:56.600 Give a s***. 1.00
00:01:56.980 This is beyond them. 0.98
00:01:57.940 The whole thing of, like, domination from a concept is so f***ing interesting.
00:02:12.680 Hi, I'm James O'Keefe with OMG News.
00:02:16.540 Here we are with our latest story, this time on BlackRock, one of the world's leading asset
00:02:22.860 and investment managers, which owns significant shares of companies like Amazon, Microsoft,
00:02:29.580 Anheuser-Busch, Meta, Target, Procter & Gamble, Comcast, CNN, Fox, and, yes, Pfizer.
00:02:38.880 Just to name a few.
00:02:39.640 CNN and Fox, Pearl.
00:02:40.740 At OMG, we won't shy away from exposing powerful companies, and we're not afraid of powerful people.
00:02:46.640 So we decided to take a look for ourselves at the influence BlackRock has on our politics
00:02:50.980 and the influence they have on our culture.
00:02:54.060 So to do that, what better place to start a hidden camera investigation
00:02:57.880 than into a self-described gatekeeper at BlackRock? 0.97
00:03:02.740 You're kind of like a f***ing gatekeeper at BlackRock. 0.97
00:03:06.620 Yeah, I am. 0.97
00:03:07.540 I decide people's fates.
00:03:09.280 Every f***ing day, I literally decide how somebody's life is going to be shaped.
00:03:14.440 That's so powerful.
00:03:15.460 I love it.
00:03:15.840 Yeah, it's...
00:03:17.980 And, you know, the whole thing of, like, domination from a concept, it's so f***ing interesting.
00:03:25.900 Introducing Serge Varley, whose LinkedIn says he's worked for Morgan Stanley, Citadel,
00:03:31.900 and now as a recruiter at BlackRock.
00:03:34.540 I work for a company called BlackRock.
00:03:37.780 I'm not actually a finance guy.
00:03:39.800 I just, I know what happens because I'm recruiting people who do these things.
00:03:45.520 I'm the person who headhunts people from other firms, so I would approach him and be like,
00:03:50.180 hey, this is a good reason why you should come work for us.
00:03:53.440 Serge tells us who really runs the world, how they do it, and just how much it costs to buy people,
00:04:01.040 like politicians.
00:04:01.860 Let me tell you exactly who's the president, it's who's controlling the wallet from the president.
00:04:10.600 So, it's...
00:04:11.400 And who's that?
00:04:12.640 The hedge funds, BlackRock, the banks.
00:04:15.940 These guys want to buy them.
00:04:17.200 Campaign financing.
00:04:19.100 Yep, you can buy your candidates.
00:04:21.720 So, how's that?
00:04:22.820 All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians. 0.91
00:04:25.920 How do they run the world?
00:04:27.060 You acquire stuff.
00:04:30.020 You diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring, you spend whatever you make in acquiring more.
00:04:34.980 And at a certain point, your risk level is super long.
00:04:37.260 Like, imagine you've invested in, like, ten different industries, from food to drinks to, like, technology.
00:04:46.800 Right?
00:04:46.980 One of them fails, it doesn't matter.
00:04:48.380 You have nine others to make you up.
00:04:50.300 Risk management is inherently just about everything.
00:04:53.300 And in the finance space, it's all about...
00:04:55.600 It's all about the money you make.
00:04:59.880 You don't let it sit.
00:05:02.000 You keep using it over and over.
00:05:03.900 Reinvest.
00:05:04.760 Yeah, and it's exponential growth.
00:05:06.300 And then once you just own a little bit of everything, is that where the control...
00:05:10.780 Yeah, you own a little bit of everything.
00:05:12.940 And that little bit of everything gives you so much money on a yearly basis that you can
00:05:16.860 take this big ton of money, and then you can start to buy people.
00:05:22.260 Obviously, we have this system in place.
00:05:24.500 First, there's the Senate space. 1.00
00:05:25.980 And these guys are f***ing shit. 1.00
00:05:27.120 You've got ten grand, you can buy a Senate. 1.00
00:05:29.080 It doesn't matter who wins.
00:05:30.720 There's so many.
00:05:31.660 They're my clients.
00:05:32.880 I could give you 500K right now.
00:05:34.640 No question.
00:05:35.080 Yeah.
00:05:35.540 The BlackRock recruiter also tells us about how the U.S. government relies on BlackRock
00:05:48.500 for their economic simulation computational power.
00:05:52.780 Economic simulation.
00:05:54.880 They need to understand the impact of something.
00:05:57.200 They're going to raise the interest in it, for example.
00:06:00.900 It's going to create a cascade of various factors.
00:06:04.000 They're not sure what it's going to do, basically.
00:06:07.220 And just how f***ing great the Ukraine war is for business.
00:06:11.840 Do you have any thoughts on the Ukraine-Russia war?
00:06:16.160 Ukraine is good for business.
00:06:18.560 You know, right?
00:06:19.560 We don't want the conflict to end.
00:06:21.880 Why?
00:06:22.800 We don't want the conflict to end as a country.
00:06:24.960 The longer this goes on, the weaker Russia is.
00:06:26.780 I'll give you an example.
00:06:28.040 I'll give you an example.
00:06:28.080 Russia.
00:06:30.080 Russia blows up Ukraine's grain series.
00:06:32.840 The price of wheat is going to go mad up.
00:06:35.200 So what are you going to do for a trading firm?
00:06:37.760 The moment that news hits, within a millisecond, you're going to pump trades into whoever the
00:06:47.040 wheat suppliers are, into their stocks.
00:06:48.780 Within an hour or two, that stock goes f***ing up.
00:06:53.240 And then you sell, and you just made, I don't know, power made you melt.
00:06:57.080 Why would a news channel promote a side and more?
00:07:03.460 Because it's also good for business.
00:07:05.380 I mean, what's news?
00:07:06.720 News, right?
00:07:07.660 What does news feed on?
00:07:08.960 They feed on tragedy.
00:07:10.060 They feed on f***ed up events.
00:07:12.800 That's what people like to watch.
00:07:14.040 So when it happens, it's good business.
00:07:16.660 More viewers. 0.87
00:07:18.420 When nothing's happening, f***ing watching news. 0.92
00:07:20.860 I don't watch news. 0.97
00:07:22.900 They're all pushing, like, the same talking point.
00:07:26.560 Like, generally, when you look at news...
00:07:28.560 What a Weasley-looking beta male.
00:07:30.580 The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market.
00:07:34.620 The global wheat market.
00:07:35.940 This is fantastic if you're trading.
00:07:38.840 Volatility creates opportunity to make profit.
00:07:41.440 War is real f***ing good for business. 0.99
00:07:44.040 It's exciting when s*** goes wrong, right? 0.68
00:07:46.860 Serge also speaks on BlackRock-influenced news and even gave our journalists some tips.
00:07:52.860 Look, oh my gosh, it's the same thing. 0.95
00:07:55.480 When they say to sell, does that mean we should buy s***? 0.97
00:07:59.860 Yeah. 0.96
00:08:00.840 It's like, you know Jim Cramer?
00:08:03.220 If you do exactly the opposite of what he's advising, you actually make money.
00:08:08.600 Huh?
00:08:09.620 Yeah.
00:08:11.560 It's like, it's called the inverse Cramer.
00:08:14.520 They don't want to be in the news.
00:08:16.800 They don't want people to talk about them.
00:08:18.880 They don't want to be anywhere on the radar.
00:08:20.820 Why not?
00:08:22.740 I don't know, but I suspect it's probably because it's easier to do things when people aren't thinking about it.
00:08:28.680 And when Serge was asked about insider trading and if Larry Fink recently sold $100 million in BlackRock shares, here is what he said.
00:08:39.380 Larry Fink recently sold $100 million worth of BlackRock. 0.88
00:08:45.680 Oh s***. 0.59
00:08:47.900 Oh, wow. 1.00
00:08:50.400 Damn, Larry, that's not a good sign. 0.98
00:08:52.600 The people who trade and make money, they do this at the moment the information is out. 0.99
00:08:59.020 And that info is typically disseminated at private levels first before it hits the range.
00:09:06.900 If you want to invest smart, there's a tracker that tracks all politicians and where they have their stocks.
00:09:12.980 Because preemptively, if the stock price, if we think the stock price is going to tank, we're going to f***ing sell so that, so that we sell it high, it tanks, and we buy back.
00:09:22.700 And we made, well, we didn't make, but we preserved, preserved on a female. 1.00
00:09:30.100 But perhaps the most remarkable and profound comment by the BlackRock recruiter is the suggestion that nobody is going to care about what he is saying here or confessing here. 0.96
00:09:41.340 Because as he says, quote, normal people don't give a s***. 0.93
00:09:45.520 You're like an undercover reporter. 0.98
00:09:47.760 Really?
00:09:49.000 Don't normal people worry about this stuff? 0.98
00:09:51.100 No, no, no, no, normal people don't give a s***. 0.97
00:09:52.900 This is beyond them. 0.95
00:09:54.040 These types of questions, my reporter asked, are beyond all of you.
00:09:57.940 The answer is something that you, the people, the consumers, the shareholders, couldn't possibly understand.
00:10:05.340 It's been said that it's easier to fool a man than to convince him he's been fooled.
00:10:10.260 There is no question that many Americans are still asleep, who may not want to wake up from their necessary illusions.
00:10:16.140 But we hope and believe by showing these tapes of this BlackRock gatekeeper, speaking so plainly on so many topics, that not only will we wake up people, but also inspire others to come forward on institutions like BlackRock.
00:10:33.980 Oh, and this is just part one.
00:10:37.060 Stay tuned tomorrow for my meeting with Serge Barlet.
00:10:41.720 We also reached out for comment to BlackRock, and here's what they had to say.
00:10:45.380 Yes, we are going to decline to comment for now.
00:10:57.040 Serge is going to end up at the bottom of a river.
00:11:00.100 Serge.
00:11:00.860 Oh, he deleted this picture on LinkedIn.
00:11:04.260 No, Serge.
00:11:06.040 He's going to be found at the bottom of a river.
00:11:07.960 Oh my gosh, how crazy is this, though, that it's like matching with the stuff you showed in the news?
00:11:12.120 Because they said, like, Fox.
00:11:14.780 And so it's kind of like when they have Tate's name on a list, they just all go for him.
00:11:19.880 Yeah.
00:11:20.500 But the people that they don't pick, they'll kind of spin the news the way they want to spin it.
00:11:26.100 So, like, the guy.
00:11:26.900 Is Andrew Schofield banned from Uber and Airbnb?
00:11:29.500 Philip Schofield.
00:11:30.120 Or Philip Schofield, is he banned from.
00:11:32.000 Wow, that's so crazy.
00:11:33.520 That's a good question, though.
00:11:34.180 No, because Andrew's banned from Uber, Discord, Airbnb, Uber Eats.
00:11:39.140 Even Ye, like, his bank accounts all got banned.
00:11:43.300 Really good question, though.
00:11:44.520 He criticized ye who shall not be criticized.
00:11:46.400 No, he probably hasn't been banned.
00:11:48.420 What?
00:11:49.020 He probably hasn't been banned from him.
00:11:50.920 Oh, the Philip guy.
00:11:51.820 Yeah, the Philip guy.
00:11:53.560 I doubt it.
00:11:54.440 It would have been on the news if it was.
00:11:55.900 But it's like, what are these people's agenda?
00:11:57.800 Like, why are they pushing?
00:11:59.620 Why are they pushing this gay stuff? 1.00
00:12:01.780 Why are they pushing trans people? 0.99
00:12:03.560 Why are they pushing men to be weak?
00:12:05.380 Why are they pushing all of this in the media?
00:12:07.380 Show that chart I sent you about the sex change.
00:12:10.120 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:11.020 Show the chart.
00:12:12.340 If you take a look at the transgender agenda.
00:12:13.860 Why are they pushing policies for, like, women's empowerment? 0.84
00:12:18.000 Why are they pushing policies for single mother homes?
00:12:20.860 Because if you track it all, it goes down to money.
00:12:23.060 Because here's the way the fiat currency system is set up.
00:12:26.420 You have to continue to print money to keep the Ponzi going.
00:12:30.420 And you've got to keep putting this money into certain areas of the economy.
00:12:34.760 I mean, we've had the whole plandemic situation, right?
00:12:38.240 You had, like, billions and billions and billions of money just printed.
00:12:44.580 Because that's the only way you keep this thing going.
00:12:48.060 It's a fiat currency system.
00:12:49.860 And that's why all these companies are absolutely adamant against cryptocurrency.
00:12:54.180 And in addition to what we've just seen here with BlackRock, BlackRock is now filing for a Bitcoin ETF.
00:13:01.480 And BlackRock and a lot of these other financial institutions are starting to get legally, they're moving to get the majority control of a lot of cryptocurrencies so they can control this and manipulate it as well.
00:13:14.340 At the same time, they're trying to ban cash.
00:13:17.260 I don't know if you've noticed, but loads of shops are going cashless.
00:13:19.180 So they're trying to stop you from using cash so that you're unable to have, you know, control of your own finances.
00:13:25.640 If everything's digital, who's in control of the internet?
00:13:28.900 Not us.
00:13:29.740 So they can shut off the internet.
00:13:31.040 They can shut down your bank account so you can't even access your own money.
00:13:34.280 If they take away cash and cryptocurrency, it is so dangerous.
00:13:38.420 And it's a massive slippery slope to a very sad world where we're being controlled in every aspect of our lives because that's how they're going to use.
00:13:46.080 I don't know if you've heard about the trucker protests.
00:13:49.440 Yeah, in Canada.
00:13:50.180 In Canada.
00:13:50.860 So during the pandemic, people were being pressured into taking the jab and they were protesting against the jab and they were in their trucks on the highways, blocking the highway so that people couldn't get through to say, I'm not taking this jab and you can't force me and you can't take away my rights if I choose not to take it.
00:14:06.980 And then look, and then when you go back to the money thing, right?
00:14:11.040 So that's the projected growth of, you know, what's going to happen there.
00:14:18.080 And it's funny too how they have the disparity there in the beginning of, they have it, like, it looks like the majority of people doing it too is female to male.
00:14:27.800 Oh, I thought you said it was the other one.
00:14:29.080 So it is, but getting the surgery, because you can still claim to be transgender and not get the surgery.
00:14:41.240 Well, the guy's surgery, I mean, did you see that video of that girl guy talking about after he got the surgery?
00:14:49.520 It's like, it's really dangerous.
00:14:52.180 And like, there's all this complications that come with it.
00:14:56.000 And if they don't keep, like, I forgot what it was, but if they don't do something, like, gross.
00:15:00.620 You have to keep a dildo kind of thing inside for a few hours a day so that it stretches out.
00:15:07.660 I think you have to, yeah, you have to constantly, like, put something inside it so it doesn't close up. 0.93
00:15:12.840 Yeah, because your hole is... 0.98
00:15:13.840 You have to keep a dildo kind of thing inside. 0.99
