Financial Crimes & Hidden Agendas: The CIA, Blackrock, and Wallstreet | Whitney Webb PT 1
Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Wealth Transfer in Times of Crisis
Quantitative easing strategies were designed to inject capital directly into the private sector, particularly benefiting major financial entities like Wall Street. This approach was initiated before the COVID-19 pandemic and accelerated through collaboration among key economic leaders in the Trump administration. The resultant policies enabled substantial sums of money to flow to asset management firms like BlackRock during a time of minimal economic activity due to lockdowns. Instead of supporting Main Street, these firms used the capital to acquire assets, further exacerbating wealth inequality. Statistics reveal that the top 1% in the US saw significant financial gains during the pandemic, while the broader population struggled with declining purchasing power and inflationary pressures stemming from these policies. As new economic crises loom, there is a concern that similar wealth transfer dynamics could repeat, with large financial institutions poised to benefit at the expense of the general public.
