BlackRock Plots to Buy Ukraine 12/30/2022

"Ukraine has a new Western backer. It’s not a nation-state, or a military contractor. It’s the financial firm BlackRock.
Ukraine announced Wednesday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had a video teleconference with BlackRock Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink. The pair apparently struck a deal to coordinate investment efforts to rebuild the war-torn nation."

Back in the states, the NYC-based investment firm has been making major headlines. A report from the Wall Street Journal over the summer claimed BlackRock was one of several major investment firms causing distortion in the housing market. The report laid out how BlackRock, and firms like it, are using their massive amounts of capital to buy up single-family houses, jacking up prices in the process.
There are two immediate economic effects of the aforementioned price increases. First, higher housing costs benefit the properties already owned by BlackRock, especially in areas where the firm has invested heavily. The second effect is the artificially high prices crowd out working families, leaving only the wealthy or investment firms with massive amounts of capital at their disposal as the only players left in the market. In Houston, for example, the billionaire Fink reportedly accounts for one-quarter of recent home purchases. He’s simply buying up entire neighborhoods and using them as rentals. BlackRock is helping create a permanent renters class, though it’s long been understood that homeownership is one of the key elements to building wealth and maintaining the American middle class.
It is all rather infuriating: one can almost guarantee BlackRock is getting paid handsomely by the Ukrainian government for advising on this reconstruction roadmap. And where is the Ukrainian government currently getting its funding, given its economy is in shambles and war is an expensive undertaking? The United States government, of course. By the end of the calendar year, the U.S. will have provided $13 billion in direct budgetary support for Ukraine’s government to avoid shortfalls and outright bankruptcy, and President Joe Biden has promised to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes.”
So, BlackRock gets paid by U.S. taxpayers via the Ukrainian government to devise a plan that ensures the success of their future investments in Ukraine, made from money gained by making American housing unaffordable. With a deal like that for our financial and political elite, why would they ever want peace?

Seeing opportunity amid the tragedy, 500 global businesses from 42 countries have already signed the Ukraine Business Compact “to help realise its huge potential” — or secure their slice of the Ukrainian pie. “Most are standing on the sidelines for now, given the security threat,” the FT reported. “But there are already companies on the cusp of moving in — especially in the low-hanging-fruit industries of construction and materials, agricultural processing and logistics.”

This can’t possibly be true because SFP said this is “right wing conspiracy theory”

That is a bold strategy Cotton let's see how it plays out for em.

In the midst of a brutal conflict in Ukraine, two of the world’s financial titans, BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase, are seemingly leading the charge in an ostensible humanitarian effort. They are helping to establish the Ukraine Development Fund, a reconstruction bank designed to steer public seed capital into projects that can attract hundreds of billions of dollars in private investment. However, as those who are familiar with the words of Gen. Smedley Butler might ask, is this really an altruistic endeavor, or just another face of the long-standing war racket?
The echoes of Halliburton’s billion-dollar contracts during the Iraq war are deafening. These corporations, the backbone of the military-industrial complex, have found a golden opportunity in mass murder.

The article is from 2022.
Did some Russian propaganda site bring this up as “opposition” to the new funding bill?

It's always the same. The usa taxpayer funds the war (and lives), then the politically connected company comes in to reap all the benefits.

War is a racket. I thought you might be interested in why war funding bills that most people do not want are passing Congress.

What I do believe is that Vlad has needlessly leveled cities and towns in Ukraine for nothing. Those entire cities and towns will need to be rebuilt when Vlad is gone. Engaging international investment equity in that project is likely the only it could happen.
Do you want Vlad to continue bombing civilians?

Maybe we should have thought about that before we instigated the whole thing.and before we sent
Boris Johnson over there to kill the peace deal.

What good does it do Ukraine for the Russians to obliterate another 100 billion in US equipment?
Your losing this war bub. If you keep freakin around your going to find out.
Woops. There goes Odessa. There goes the only Port.
What say we give the Ukrnian people a break and stop funding a bloodbath while there are a few Ukranian adults left alive, a few buildings standing and a port for them to trade through.

JPMorgan has been touting their so-called ‘humanitarian efforts’ in Ukraine since this conflict began. Let’s see if the left will label them the new Halliburton.

Russia is already rebuilding Mariupol, Russia. They will rebuild the rest of their cities too.

So basically it’s a big building demo like they do with old Vegas casinos so blackrock can rebuild it to look like current day Baghdad and bank billions - it all makes sense now!
