O’Keefe Drops Bombshell Undercover Exposé On BlackRock
Journalist James O’Keefe has dropped a bombshell undercover video exposing BlackRock Inc., showing a recruiter for the company admitting that “they buy politicians” and could essentially “run the world.”
O’Keefe was forced out of his position as CEO of Project Veritas, a nonprofit organization he founded, earlier this year — causing the organization to lose a significant amount of support. He has since started another undercover journalism company, O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), and is already back to work.
One of the undercover journalists working for the new company caught BlackRock recruiter Serge Varlay on hidden camera talking about the inner workings of the firm.
Varlay told the undercover journalist that BlackRock — a prominent investment management and financial services firm — can essentially “run the world” because of the vast sums of money that the firm controls in the global market.
However, Varlay admitted that BlackRock doesn’t necessarily want anyone to notice what they are doing behind the scenes.
“They don’t want to be in the news. They don’t want people to talk about them. They don’t want to be anywhere on the radar,” the BlackRock recruiter said.
When asked why BlackRock doesn’t want to appear in the headlines, Varlay paused before stating: “I don’t know, but I suspect it’s because it’s easier to do things when people aren’t thinking about it.”
He then explained that although BlackRock may be one of the biggest players in the market, they are not the only entity at work behind the scenes — revealing that “all” of these major firms “buy politicians.”
“All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians,” Varlay said. “You can take this big f— ton of money and buy people … It’s not who is the president, it’s who is controlling the wallet of the president. You could buy your candidates. First, there is the senators, these guys are f—ing cheap. Got 10 grand? You can buy a senator. I’ll give you 500k right now… It doesn’t matter who wins, they’re in my pocket.”
Later in the undercover video, the BlackRock recruiter commented on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war — pointing out that it is “fantastic” for making a profit.
“Ukraine is good for business, you know that right? Russia blows up Ukraine’s grain silos and the price of wheat is going to go mad up. The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market. The price of bread, literally everything goes up and down, this is fantastic if you’re trading,” Varlay said.
“Volatility creates opportunity to make profit,” he added. “War is real f—ing good for business. It’s exciting when s—goes wrong, right?”
Several times during the conversation, Varlay emphasized that there are other financial institutions besides BlackRock that are taking steps to “buy politicians” and influence the global market — though he noted that BlackRock was even more formidable thanks to the sheer volume of resources the company controls.
“BlackRock manages $20 trillion. It’s incomprehensible numbers,” Varlay explained.
According to O’Keefe, Google has already begun trying to suppress the BlackRock exposé — which is no surprise, considering the fact that “BlackRock is listed as Google’s second largest institutional shareholder with $44.5 billion.”
