Big Pharma and mainstream media are largely owned by two asset management firms: BlackRock and Vanguard. Drug companies are driving COVID-19 responses — all of which, so far, have endangered rather than optimized public health — and mainstream media have been willing accomplices in spreading their propaganda, a false official narrative that leads the public astray and fosters fear based on lies. Vanguard and BlackRock are the top two owners of Time Warner, Comcast, Disney and News Corp, four of the six media companies that control more than 90% of the U.S. media landscape. BlackRock and Vanguard form a secret monopoly that own just about everything else you can think of too. In all, they have ownership in 1,600 American firms, which in 2015 had combined revenues of $9.1 trillion. When you add in the third-largest global owner, State Street, their combined ownership encompasses nearly 90% of all S&P 500 firms. Vanguard is the largest shareholder of BlackRock. Vanguard itself, on the other hand, has a unique structure that makes its ownership more difficult to discern, but many of the oldest, richest families in the world can be linked to Vanguard funds.

OK I hear this a lot about Vanguard and BlackRock "owning" all these companies. This is just false. They are asset managers and they manage 401Ks, mutual funds, pension funds, etc. which are OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY. Vanguard and BlackRock just take management fees. They do not own the underlying companies.
I dont think you understand what is going on here. On the surface you are correct but you need to research Larry Fink and how he has positioned himself and BlackRock as a defacto fourth branch of government. Look into how they determine which companies are able to procur investments and what Fink requires of them to get that funding. Look into how he uses social credit scores to manipulate companies.
The murky waters surrounding Vanguard I am sure lead right to the Payseurs.
This is way, way, way deeper than than mere asset managers. And the amounts of capital they have access to gives them tremendous leverage over business and government.
I am not saying that the companies don't have tremendous power. But to say that they outright OWN all those companies is factually incorrect.
they are majority shareholders. what does it mean to you when a company owns 60% of the shares of a company? that they are irrelevant to that company?
Majority shareholder basically means you own the company. That is how corporate takeovers and raiders on wallstreet pillage the bones of companies like SEARS or TOYS R US. They gain control of the board through majority share, put people on the board that will steer the company into short term profits at the expense of long term viability evenutally leading to bankruptcy of the company, meanwhile the hedge funds/raiders make off with millions if not billions in profit.
Agree. Unfortunately through marriage, adoption, divorce and remarriage, bloodlines have become twisted and convoluted and different names occur. It is a tangled web. “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive!” Just like the names change and grow, so do the tentacles of the business world. That is why they try to shut out non-chain restaurants, small farmers, small businesses. Because they also try to control us through what we eat, as well as what we buy. All fast food joints lead back to Black Rock and Vanguard.
So when the market collapses what is going to happen to everyone's retirement money? (If they are just holding cash in these brokers)
Didn't I read Larry fink had to step down?
They both own assets and manage assets. They have grown into behemoths.
But if you own certain percentage of the stocks in a major company you can get privileges such as being on the board. Even though they don’t “own” the share individually, they do own it “collectively” and that gives them power.
So naive. Wake up. How easy it is to control us when our brothers don’t even question their most powerful schemes.
