Larry’s version
There is no doubt that one of the most powerful men on the globe is Larry Fink, president and executive director of Black Rock, the world’s largest investment fund, whose holdings in the planet’s largest financial and industrial entities touch ten trillion dollars, five times Italy’s GDP. His rough frankness allows us to understand the true motives of the highest level of power. Fink’s annual letter to Black Rock’s investors is awaited like an oracle, influencing the financial markets and directing - or putting in crisis - investments, industry, the stock exchanges. He is undoubtedly more authoritative than most of the world’s political leaders. Basically, he is the master of the ill-fated Ukraine, whose economy he has taken over at a bargain price. He will be the leading actor, once the war is over, in the reconstruction of the country and his will has a strong impact on American choices in the Ukrainian scenario. Every word he says, every single public intervention has a significance that goes beyond the economic and financial sphere.
Larry’s version - to paraphrase the title of Mordecai Richler’s successful novel The Barney Version - must therefore be listened to and pondered. Ideas, idiosyncrasies, predictions of the 72-year-old Californian Jew directly influence our lives. A big backer of the US Democratic Party, he is one of the supporters of the new woke ideas of the dominant American culture, the “awakened” radicalism, concretized in the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) agenda, which has become a decisive factor, an extra-economic obligation of western companies. For the supporters, the relative certification - without which it is very difficult to obtain credits, to access the communication system, to enter the good financial salons, to compete on the markets - is the proof of virtuous mechanisms related to environmental protection, biodiversity, and the reduction of CO2 emissions (E); of “social” criteria related to the well-being of workers (S); of “ethical” choices and corporate policies (G). In fact, it is a matter of anchoring - forcing - companies to take on the ideological prejudices of the new “awakened” culture in every sphere: racial and gender quotas for employees, managers, for LGBT sexual minorities, adherence to all the foibles of American neo-progressivism.
Larry openly boasts of forcing the companies in which Black Rock invests (almost all the major economic, financial and industrial entities of the West) to follow those ideological indications. There is less surprise at certain advertising content, at incomprehensible corporate policies in economic terms: in the control rooms, the big CEOs, the billionaires’ foundations, the fintech summits want it that way. Capitalism woke. It is increasingly clear that the globalist agenda, in its ideological and “societal” declinations. is being imposed not by the progressive cultural hegemony (the enforcers), but by the top floor of the oligarchy of the masters of everything (the principals). The aim is not enrichment: they own everything, money is created out of nothing by the banking system, which claims to lend it to states stripped of monetary sovereignty at the interest rate it decides. The great deception of debt plus the imposition of an ideologically oriented metapolitical and cultural agenda aim at domination over a humanity reduced to an army of puppets whose strings are pulled from above.
This is why Larry’s version, sitting on the throne of the mountain of administered assets, is so important. Shocking, in terms of their enormous consequences, are the statements made by Fink in his speech at the World Economic Forum’s recent special meeting on Global Collaboration, Growth and Energy Development. Needless to say, Black Rock is one of the financiers of the Davos Forum, an elitist creation of the Rockefeller Foundation and Henry Kissinger: the privatization of power overriding nation states and the will of the people. Larry’s version - the order of service given to governments, fintech companies, the culture industry and, by extension, the peoples - is that population decline “is the best condition for the replacement of humans by machines.” The countries that suffer from denatality, he observes, are those on which it is easiest to impose the will of the lords. Of course: they have been made exhausted. “Developed countries with populations that are decreasing every day will be the best prepared for the social problems arising from the replacement of man by machine.” Planned overtaking of the artificial over the natural, of apparatuses over people. Goodness me, Larry’s version admits the possibility of social problems. There will be a division “between developed countries that have a base and education” and those “with growing populations but little education.” According to the globalist executive, countries with declining populations will be the “big winners” in terms of quality of life, as they will have all the technologies to increase productivity and raise living standards.” False: the winners are the members of the oligarchies, the one per cent who are masters of everything, plus the supporting (technological, academic, military, cultural, political) classes, certainly not the majority of the population. “We used to think that population decrease is a cause of negative growth. However, after my conversations with the leaders of large developed countries with xenophobic immigration policies, I see that these countries will rapidly develop robotics, Artificial Intelligence and technology,” Larry added, omitting to say that those are his orders.
False is the initial assertion: number is not always power, but population decline means economic impoverishment, as well as the loss of specific civilizations, depletion of vital energy, knowledge and memory. Up to a certain point, the system succeeds in drugging the economy by pumping up consumption to avoid collapse, with all the environmental, civil, social and behavioural consequences we know. If it is not possible to replace the old generations with new ones, all that remains is to resort to massive immigration to avoid the rapid degradation of society. This is what we are experiencing in Europe and the westernized Far East (Japan, South Korea), but it is not enough for them. The goal is another and Fink communicates it without mincing words. Not the simple ethnic substitution - we are still talking about annoying human masses - but the replacement of humans by machines. Larry’s message is blatant and multifaceted. Firstly, he communicates that the project of replacing humans with machines exists, is organized and comes from above. No more births. The Malthusian agenda is in place and is wanted by the “master race” of which Fink is a leading exponent. This is who directs the new sterile culture of the “developed” peoples, overwhelmed by selfishness, compulsive consumption, rejection of responsibility, anxiety for self-fulfilment and wealth, desire turned into entitlement and then dependence. Always the same are the promoters - and official paymasters - of gender theories and the LGBTQI+ universe: programmed sterility with obsessive propaganda of ‘sexual orientations” that do not determine new lives. Equally evident is the connection with abortionism declined as a universal right, in some areas (e.g. in Argentina) accompanied by massive sterilization campaigns. Life is not part of the Davos agenda. Larry’s version has the merit of stating this clearly, worse for us if we don’t know how to listen. It is not enough: anthropological changes, reversals of existential models take time. But the Lords are in a hurry. They know that they too must die, the transhuman projects they vague about are not yet fully realizable. Think of the ‘singularity” dreamed up by Ray Kurzweil, Google’s guru, the meeting of genetics, nanotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, which in the plans should lead to the Faustian immortality to which they aspire with poorly disguised anguish. It is not for tomorrow, not even for the fateful 2030 of the leftist globalist agenda. They must dispose of the human surplus. Green light, then, to euthanasia, death on demand for the sick, the disabled, the depressed, the poor, the reign over the lives of a lump of sociopaths. Quite casually, they have revived the war drums, an ancient, highly effective method of reducing the population and solving economic and social crises. The danger, however, is great. Atomic armaments could destroy everything, even them. Better, to thin humanity, viruses, pandemics, drugs, rejection of the acceptance of life, sterile sexuality. At the same time, they spread the cult of science (actually technology) as the solution to every problem. Fascinated by the machine, conquered by the artificial, trans-humans welcome the master machines, persuaded to dominate them, or at least to make use of them. They do not understand - this part of the narrative is kept fuzzy - that the goal is the hegemony of the artificial apparatuses (owned and controlled by the Hyperclass) aimed at replacing, or overcoming, the former homo sapiens. Man is no longer antiquated (G. Anders) but obsolete, unserviceable. He must be disposed of or - for the Illuminati and the service classes - “augmented” in the interaction with the machine, which is destined to prevail until it takes the place of humans. This is Larry’s version and the will of the dome. Aged peoples, deprived of critical thinking, beset by addictions, eager for “rights” and ephemeral pleasures, will welcome hybridization with the machine, the chip, the robot. The other piece of information in Fink’s statements is that machines - quantum computers, robots, remotely controlled body-embedded electronic devices - do not require a lot of humans. Apart from the hyperclass - for which the globalist ventriloquist Yuval Harari envisages the construction of an ark, rescue in a separate world, oligarchic apartheid - the rest of us will have two complementary fates: disposal, the controlled decrease of the population by the methods described, or the condition of machine-dependent appendages, controlled, directed, remotely supervised. Digital identity - the reduction of man to code - serves the purpose very well. The survivors, deprived in the meantime of the right to use their money from electronic money, hardly employable in the activities assigned to the multifunctional robots, rendered docile by permanent blackmail, will live on a modest universal income, distributed in electronic form, usable in the manner, at the time and for the consumption preordained, on pain of payment blockage. You will have nothing and be happy, they said in Davos in singular coincidence with the beginning of the pandemic. Happy as the fed animal. Meanwhile Artificial Intelligence is already here. Strange not to realize, while waiting for new miracles of cybernetic automation, that the algorithms that regulate it, the wisdom they possess and dispense, are introduced into memory by those who command the technology.
Replacement is incompatible with a high human population: they, the superiors, are enough. The oligarchy has extracted almost everything from its subjects: it used us, now it throws us away. The announcement of the transhuman man replaced by the machine - fungible, therefore useless - is not perceived in its tremendous extent. On the contrary, many applaud the liberation from certain tasks. The useless, object or human being, inevitably becomes a waste to be eliminated. In reality, assisted suicide of the “old” humanity, joyful death. Opportunity, progress, productivity, big step forward of post-human civilization in Larry’s version. Let us hasten to choose the narrative we prefer, or the teleguided machine will decide for us.
