BlackRock has been in the media a lot recently for some of the things they have been buying and investing in – from Vox, to Fox, to The Federalist – the mainstream media is now starting to discuss this group’s purchases, particularly large numbers of neighborhoods and suburbs.
So what exactly is BlackRock? According to one of its primary partners, the World Economic Forum (WEF), BlackRock is described as:
A global leader in investment management, risk management and advisory services for institutional and retail clients.
BlackRock helps clients around the world meet their goals and overcome challenges with a range of products that include separate accounts, mutual funds, iShares (exchange-traded funds), and other pooled investment vehicles.
BlackRock also offers risk management, advisory and enterprise investment system services to a broad base of institutional investors through BlackRock Solutions.
Since this publication from the WEF, this USA-based investment firm now has over $9 trillion in managed assets. Additionally, the current Federal Reserve Chair President Jerome Powell has roughly $25 million in personal assets stored up with BlackRock.
Even though BlackRock is starting to become more of a mainstream topic, at least for the moment, some have been writing about their actions for some time. The Trends Journal has been documenting their actions for years and what that are investing in.
On June 9th of last year, the Trends Journal published an article titled “The Money Club: BlackRock Rules.” They cite a report from Wall Street on Parade, which notes that in an August 2019 G7 Nations meeting, the investment firm essentially laid out the Covid-economic recovery plan, a plan that resembles the actions that have taken place since the onset of the pandemonium which began in 2020.
The plan was called “Going Direct,” which entails stimulating economies by melding government’s fiscal policies – going after tax rates and spending levels of the public, with monetary policies from central banks, which mitigates money supply and interest rates.
“Any additional measures to stimulate economic growth will have to go beyond the interest rate channel and ‘go direct’,” meaning that governments and central banks should give money directly to businesses and government agencies. “One way or another, this will mean subsidizing spending – and such a measure would be fiscal rather than monetary by design.
A month later the Feds implanted that plan ‘when it began making loans totaling billions of dollars a week “direct” to brokerage and investment banking firms when interest rates for overnight bank-to-bank repurchase agreements or “repo loans” spiked, threatening to send money markets into turmoil.’
This allowed the markets to remain stable.
Similar tactics were then reused in the onset of the lockdowns and shutdown of the global economy. Congress and the Federal Reserve enlisted BlackRock to manage the Fed’s $750-billion program of government and corporate bond-buying. This allows BlackRock to invest government money in its own exchange-traded bond funds, which caused their values to rise, while the taxpayer is left to pay for the losses.
The Trends Journal reported that BlackRock will have earned as much as $22 million for overseeing the project.
By giving BlackRock full control of this debt buyout program, the Fed is further entwining the roles of government and private sectors. In doing so, it makes BlackRock even more systemically important to the financial system. Yet BlackRock is not subject to the regulatory scrutiny of even smaller systemically important financial institutions.
Public Citizen, Take on Wall Street, and 28 other nonprofit groups wrote to Jerome Powell on March 27th, 2020
On top of this, since then, the Swedish, Swiss, and Canadian central banks have enlisted BlackRock to manage their own versions of “Going Direct.”
Its CEO, Lawrence Fink, advised the European Central Banks that it “will need to purchase equities to stimulate Europe’s economy, and that leaders should find ways to have investors embrace an ‘equity culture’ there,” which means that the governments should advocate is citizens buy stocks.
Pricing Out The Consumer
What is now starting to get mainstream media attention was something that, again, the Trends Journal reported on a month ago.
On May 18th, it was reported by the Journal that BlackRock would be purchasing 66 multifamily affordable housing blocks with 5,800 apartments in San Diego, California, from the Conrad Prebys Foundation – which will cost roughly $1 billion.
They additionally will invest another $100 million to improve these properties.
Citing the Wall Street Journal, BlackRock already possessed about 100,000 housing units, and 900 apartments in San Diego.
The investment firm is buying up this real estate at a time when San Diego’s median rents are climbing by 2.2% yearly, with a one-bedroom apartment costing $1,820 a month.
‘The company has also partnered with Los Angeles-based TruAmerica Multifamily, an investment firm specializing in buying and upgrading so-called “Class B” apartments, which usually are older and occupied by lower-wage income earners,’ says the Trends Journal.
Mayor Todd Gloria and other city officials from San Diego sent a letter to BlackRock giving their concerns that the firm with gentrify the properties and cause them to be unaffordable for the current tenants.
“[BlackRock must] take into account future plans to maintain affordability,” according to the letter. By and large, these apartments are occupied by ‘working families and represent a substantial portion of the region’s affordable housing units,’ according to the officials as stated in their letter.
BlackRock To Now Sell Mutual Funds In China
Just yesterday the Trends Journal reported yet again another development in BlackRock’s international investments.
Now in China, regulators have approved BlackRock’s application to sell mutual funds in the country, via their Fund Management Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary based in Shanghai.
According to the report, BlackRock has 6 months to start contributing funds made up of Chinese stocks.
The Trends Journal writes, ‘Last month, China’s regulators permitted Blackrock to proceed with a wealth management service in partnership with the China Construction Bank and Temasek, Singapore’s national investment arm.’
Gerald Celente, founder of the Trends Journal, gives his additional commentary to this news:
TREND FORECAST: As we have reported (“Blackrock Launches Wealth Management Service in China,” 18 May, 2021), at the end of 2020, China’s households were estimated to have wealth valued at $18.9 trillion to invest.
Western financial firms, including Citi, Fidelity, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, and French asset manager Amundi all are turning to China as their engine of growth. Bringing western financial trillions to China’s businesses and investors will significantly accelerate the country’s growing dominance in world financial markets.
And as we had forecast, while politicians and activists protest China’s human rights violations in Hong Kong, Tibet, and among its Uyghur Muslim minority, profiteers will single-mindedly continue pursuing profit. Also, as China’s economy grows, the West will become increasingly dependent on it for manufactured goods as well as profits from selling services there, such as wealth management.
Less Meat, More Plants
But it does not stop there with this international investment firm.
Just announced today by AgFunder News, the alternative and plant-based protein company Motif FoodWorks has raised $226 million in a new second round of funding. This round of funding was jointly led by Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board, via their Teachers’ Innovation Platform – and Motif’s funds and accounts are managed by BlackRock.
These are not the only investors however. Contributors also include AiiM Partners, Wittington Ventures, Rethink Food, Rage Capital, and Rellevant Partners. Motif’s other previous investors also chipped in some more, such as, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, CPT Capital, General Atlantic, Louis Dreyfus Company, and Viking Global.
Motif, a company based in Boston, Massachusetts, will use these new funds for further research and development, add more employees to the company, and to scale and commercialize its plant-based protein tech.
AgFunder News says that plant-based alternative foods and products grew in popularity since the pandemonium, largely due to consumers having curiosity for them and investors ‘to secure a foothold in food’s future.’ However, what is preventing more people for converting to plant-based alternatives have to do with the taste, texture, and formulation of the product. The report says that 2 out of 3 Americans are willingly to dive into more plant-based products instead of animal proteins if these products tasted better.
We are trying to take things like soy, pea protein, or nuts, and mask or modify those barnyard flavors that are in the smells that are leftover from the grains, legumes, and beans.
Our whole science approach means we don’t need to modify or mask unpleasant flavors, smells, or textures, which can often leave consumers with a less pleasurable eating experience.
We have a way of approaching science differently than other companies do by unraveling food secrets. That is important because you have to know what is in the food that makes it hard to fix those problems [in the first place].
We explore how the individual components work together with a focus on the important sensory experience that consumers need. That is what has led us to a breakthrough in new technologies.
Michele Fite. Motif’s chief commercial officer.
‘The Ginkgo Bioworks spinout also has licensing partnerships with the University of Guelph and ‘alt-fat’ maker Coasun for technologies that create melting and stretching characteristics in plant-based cheeses, and marbling in plant-based meats,’ reports the AgFunder article.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
When the World Economic Forum says “You’ll own nothing, and be happy:” they aren’t kidding around. What BlackRock is doing, and has been doing, is precisely what the WEF has laid out for Agenda 2030 and Agenda Absolute Zero: the masses will be enslaved and driven into smart cities and neighborhoods that they do not own – they own literally nothing, including the shirt off your back (their language, not mine) – and it is pitched as some happy-clappy Candy Land utopia where nothing goes wrong and all your problems are erased.
In our report titled, “The Quickest Way To Know The Economy Is Broken Beyond Repair,” we cited an excerpt from Trends Journal contributor Greggory Mannarino, who explained that the Federal Reserve “is using a kind of revolving door mechanism to create currency devaluation, which is massively inflationary. Through one door, the Fed is creating epic sums of debt out of thin air in the form of currency expansion. And through another door, the Fed is buying debt.”
The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.
Proverbs 22:7
Knowing what the Feds are doing, and are closely working with BlackRock and the WEF, what Mannarino described is playing out. The Feds continue to print endless sums of cash to keep the markets artificially sustained, and in doing so, are issuing debt while buying it up (as noted in another report explaining why the housing market continues to remain on fire); and then BlackRock comes in with its bottomless pockets of cash of artificial money, easily outpricing the consumer, and then selling the estates, not as reality for the consumer to buy, but to rent. This leaves the “homeowner” in a vicious spin cycle of endlessly working to never own anything. Do you get it? You see what these sick devils are doing?
[12] There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. [13] There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. [14] There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.Proverbs 30:12-14
Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished.
Proverbs 17:5
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Proverbs 12:24
And as for the plant-based investments, this is again another major goal of the WEF, per Agenda 2030 and the Vatican’s Laudato Si’, to get the masses off of meat and to the artificially designed, disgusting, and unhealthy, plant-based products. This is a major Bible prophecy, that, as I continue to observe: the the supposed “prophecy watchers” and “end-times” ministries are dead silent on something they supposedly specialize in!
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.1 Timothy 4:1-5
And we have not seen the complete fulfillment of this passage: we are just getting started. I still believe that another scripted event must be implemented to get the meat-loving masses to want to reject meat, to then allow the governments to mitigate real meat consumption, and get them on the fake, lab-grown crap.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

This video is about the rise of build-to-rent neighborhoods, explaining how newly built, single-home developments are dominating the real estate market–and no, they’re not for sale. Goodbye American dream, hello corporate landlord.
