The bloodbath in the Disney C-Suite is way more entertaining than anything they're putting onscreen these days.
Friday, it was announced that CFO Christine McCarthy was stepping down for "family medical leave", no other explanation given. Naturally, rumors and theories are being thrown around (See: Arkhaven and ClownfishTV for their takes), but things have gotten even more interesting since it was announced late last night that Chief Diversity Officer Latondra Newton was also leaving the company. (again, Clownfish TV since they were the first that I saw to drop this).
I'm surprised that the DEI Commissar is leaving, given how corporations have been doubling down on the wokeness well past the Turned To Shit point; however, 'Elemental' bombing this weekend is just one more failure for the wokites at Disney and I'm curious if she is being failed upwards or genuinely shitcanned and what it was Iger needed to pull of to get her out of there.
On the other hand, the CFO dipping doesn't surprise me at all. Disney had to settle with a whistleblower who reported the company to the SEC for cooking the books, and McCarthy was name checked in a lawsuit concerning the financial state of Disney. "Family Medical Leave" was probably her getting to save face and leave with her dignity somewhat intact.
Developing, and I think this may be something to keep an eye on given how politically connected Disney is. Also, could this be a sign that the BlackRock money machine isn't as solid as we think?
As an Army officer, among other techniques, we worked on building kill zones in front of our defensive positions. The intent was to overwhelm the enemy - obstacles, direct fires, indirect fires, air attack. Simply stated, the object was to give the enemy commander more ways to die than he could manage simultaneously.
I wonder if that could be an analogy for Blackrock. In their arrogance, they are continuing to move forward with their agenda. But as the protests and boycotts grow, they are being forced to manage more issues, some possibly growing to crises, and at some point may require that they withdraw or die. Maybe just hopium, and certainly cannot happen really fast, but perhaps an outcome toward which we can work.
There's a great article over here: https://greatawakening.win/p/16bPnoML7X/titanic-submarine-disappearance-/c/ about the competence crisis.
I'm wondering if that could be a factor in places like Blackrock. Beyond being overwhelmed, they're also filled with incompetents.
If I'm reading you right, you're saying they're getting too many fires to put out and being spread too thin, correct? That's a good way to look at it.
I wonder too if it's a signal that the trillions of dollars that they've been pumping into these corporations have now become worthless (gold destroying more than the FED) and the CEOs are starting to see this. If so, they're probably just as overwhelmed as Blackrock.
Reportedly the DEI Boss wasn’t even given the privilege of a formal announcement and goodbye speech. HR just sent out a memo she was gone and that was it.
Which is usually indicative of being outright fired. Instead of formally forced out/forced to resign. Which is the typical tactic for companies as outright firing executives can be a costly drama filled minefield. If I remember my corporation-normal speech translations right.
Yes, this. I believe this is bigger than people realize. Even if Iger already has someone in mind to replace her (if so, they haven't been announced yet), her late night "departure" says to me that either she is caught up in a massive scandal that hasn't come to light yet or/and Iger is trying to clean house in a desperate attempt to keep the Disney ship from sinking.
A white lady was just awarded $25M from Starbucks for being fired for being white. How much anti-white discrimination was going on at Pedo-Disney?? Prob anti-straight as well.
Controlled demolition all around, tale out the supports when they are needed the most
Nothing can stop what is coming. Nothing.
Re: the CFO leaving:
I follow Kamran Pasha, an ex Hollywood writer who still has sources in the industry. He's been scooping a lot of stories way ahead of MSM.
His theory is that Disney lost billions in FTX. That could explain why Chapek was fired: he was about to discover the loss, and was about to report it to the board.
Since he made that theory, more stories are supporting his theory. EG: Disney hired some fishy accountants to cook the books to hide this loss.
You can find Kamran on:
Some of the comments in the ClownfishTV videos brought up Kamran and his theory about FTX and Bob Chapek. It makes sense to me, but I think it's just one part of the puzzle.
It's been awhile, but I used to watch Midnight's Edge and Critical Drinker and I enjoyed Kamran's insider view on how badly Hollywood sold out to China.
Where's the Suddenly flair?
LOL! That would be fantastic!
