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 Black Rock 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.

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. Despite the accusations of blackpilling and offering no hope or solutions,

accurately depicting our political reality is nothing of the sort. It is in fact a key requisite

to actually solving the problems we face. If we believe that the only obstacle to forging a better
