English Labour's ties to vulture capitalist BlackRock
And their plans to plunder Scotland
Published by The National, March 20th, 2024.
Darren Jones, English Labour’s deputy to Rachel Reeves, made the incomprehensibly stupid remark that Thatcher oversaw a period of “economic renewal and wealth creation.” This should be plastered all over Scotland as a warning to those who think English Labour offers us anything apart from stealing what remains of our wealth and impoverishing us further.
English Labour keeps showing us who they really are. We should pay close attention.
In October, Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock, the planet’s largest private equity firm that manages $10 trillion of assets, praised Sir Keir Starmer for saving English Labour from ‘extremism’ under ‘Marxist’ Jeremy Corbyn. What Fink really meant is that Sir Keir saved the UK - and Scotland - for the world’s vulture capitalists to feast upon.
Blackrock and Vanguard, Blackrock’s largest shareholder, are a secretive monopoly that owns huge swathes of the global economy. Vanguard’s structure is complex but many of the world’s oldest and wealthiest families - the British Royal Family, the Italian Orsini family and the American Bush, Du Pont, Morgan, Vanderbilt and Rockefeller families - are owners of Vanguard.
Ever wonder why the legacy media has become the propaganda mouthpiece for global corporations and the governments, like the UK and US, controlled by those corporations?
The connection is Blackrock and Vanguard. Together they own the majority of the stocks in the largest corporations as well as the shares of investors in these corporations that span Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Banks, the biggest media companies and the companies comprising the military industrial complex. It explains why during the pandemic, Big Pharma’s untested mRNA ‘vaccines’ were forced onto the public while the mainstream media suppressed information about older, cheaper and more effective drugs and vilified anyone who dared to question mRNA vaccine efficacy or safety.
Bloomberg has confirmed that by 2028 Blackrock and Vanguard will be managing $20 trillion in assets.
How does this all relate to Scotland? Well, Blackrock owns Edinburgh Airport; Aberdeen Asset management merged with Blackrock’s investment trust; Scottish Widows awarded a £30 billion contract to Blackrock to manage passive index strategies and has invested £500 million in Blackrock’s ESG (environmental, social, governance) fund; the house-builder Wheatley Group, received a £100 billion injection from Blackrock to drive Scotland’s biggest housebuilding programme; Blackrock bought a West Lothian wind farm from Muirhall Energy.
There are rich pickings in Scotland, as English Labour knows only too well. Starmer said last month that his “single defining mission” is to increase economic growth with help from partnership with business. This means Scotland’s resources and land are for sale to English Labour’s vulture capitalist funders like Blackrock. There will be nothing left for the rightful owners of Scotland’s resources - the Scottish People.
I can’t think of a more clarion call to end this disastrous union.
Thank you LGB for your clear, forensic and incisive posts, which relate to Scotland and this toxic relationship with the UK government, which we urgently need to extricate ourselves from.
I look forward to reading and sharing daily.
A vital warning for anyone tempted to hope that Keir Starmer is going to change anything in the corrupt destructive rapacious City of London or Westminster's grotesque pantomime. It is absolutely too dangerous for Scotland to stay under Westminster. All parties there lead to BlackRock and co....and ruthless asset stripping of whatever resources Scotland has left. That's who's pulling Starmer's strings.
