Welcome back to Unlimited Hangout. I'm your host, Whitney Webb. In the last episode, we were joined by John Titus to discuss the outside influence of BlackRock on U.S. government fiscal policy, especially during crises, and how this phenomenon is completely unaffected by which U.S. political party is in power. In that discussion, we also noted how things are unlikely to change anytime soon,

with Kamala's economic team run by BlackRock veterans,

and Trump having personally given free reign to Black Rocks Larry Fink,

Trump's former personal money manager,

to essentially design the U.S. government's fiscal response during the COVID-19 crisis,

which was, of course, one-ton money printing.

Such sentiments were recently reflected by Fink himself,

who was quoted by the Financial Times earlier this week,

as saying that, quote, really doesn't matter, end quote, for financial markets.

Fink also stated that, quote, I'm tired of hearing this is the

biggest election in your lifetime. The reality is over time. It doesn't matter. We work with both

administrations and are having conversations with both candidates, end quote. Fink's recent statements

are a surprisingly honest admission with the U.S. presidential election cycle this year. It has been

truly remarkable

to see so many people who previously espoused rejecting the two-party paradigm, especially during

COVID, insisting that voting for one of the two parties is, once again, the only way to prevent the

worst of the two evils from occupying the White House. Reminding people that both parties are corrupt and showing

them the repeated pattern. All continue regardless of which party wins the White House or the

legislature is met with angry rebuttals of how such facts are blackpilling and offer no hope.

I would argue instead that it offers no hopium, the political drug that keeps Americans plugged in to the political spectacle,

while the close network of oligarchs that funds both parties continue to steal our money and our freedom,

using our money to finance killing fields abroad and to build a digital prison that will separate us from them, the livestock from the ranchers.
