E' la finanza che comanda, mica la politica!

Anche se il comunicato del sindacato dei bancari SALLCA CUB sembra essere un po’ troppo schierato contro l’attuale Governo e smemorino dei danni fatto dai kompagni al mondo bancario nostrano, c’è del vero sugli obiettivi ed i pericoli delle grandi concentrazioni bancarie (e dei loro azionisti). Obiettivo manco celato è sempre quello: soldi, soldi ed ancora soldi. Gli utili la fanno da padrone,…

"BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has shockingly filed for bankruptcy, marking the downfall of a financial giant built on corruption. Global sanctions and internal mismanagement have toppled this financial titan, sending shockwaves through the global economy.

In one of the most shocking turns in financial history, BlackRock has officially collapsed. Yes, the company that shaped economies and influenced global markets is now crumbling under the weight of its misdeeds. This colossal downfall raises a burning question: how could such a powerful firm fall so spectacularly?

The answer lies in the collapse of the corrupt financial machinery that fueled BlackRock’s rise. Sanctions have smashed the web of secret deals and hidden financial backdoors that once sustained it. BlackRock relied on unregulated strategies and opaque investment tactics, ignoring the warning signs as the world moved toward transparency.

The beginning of the end came with sanctions targeting offshore banking and shadow financial systems. These bureaucratic tools cut off the dirty money that had propped up BlackRock’s operations. The firm could no longer thrive in a world where secrecy was currency; it was exposed, leaving its business model unviable.

Arrogance and Overconfidence: BlackRock’s Fatal Flaw. For years, BlackRock operated under the illusion of invincibility, believing it was untouchable. This arrogance blinded them to the changing tides of regulation and transparency. As internal chaos grew, with executives divided over the firm’s direction, indecision sealed its fate.

BlackRock’s bankruptcy isn’t just a story about one company’s failure; it’s a global financial earthquake. The implications are far-reaching, likely triggering a domino effect across the world economy. From pension funds to government bonds, the fallout will be immense."

WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION

The park was filled with lots of guys who should have kept their shirts on. A barefoot blond dreadhead perpetually hopped from foot to foot whilst stroking and tapping a Pringles can like a Tibetan singing bowl. A bearded guy drummed on buckets. This really skinny kid did skateboard tricks while displaying a constant plumber’s butt. Don’t you have to be fat for that?

Food Not Bombs was all set up but not many partook. Feeding people is always better than blowing them up but no one seemed impressed. They would rather wait in line for a ten-dollar bowl of macaroni and cheese at Noodles.

All in all, it seems the general public will only accept food from earthy, nose-ringed, lime-haired leftist hippie punks if it’s inside a shiny co-op with sneeze guards.

A group of guys nearby were chatting entirely in Greek (at least that’s what it was to me) until they suddenly all started inexplicably singing (in English) Mad TV’s “Lowered Expecta-ations…”

There’s always a small group of youngsters, probably from a nearby unincorporated village, led by one guy all punked out with a mohawk, never-used leather cockrings around his wrist, and fresh razor slashes in his brand new jeans, swaggering around while the other incredibly normal keeping-the-status-quo kids follow behind at a respectful distance. I don’t really have a problem with poseurs. At least they’re trying.

And appearing as ubiquitously as always: the Cro-Magnon monkey lady in the dirty red Capri's and grey head scarf whose only activity seems to be purchasing cigarettes.

The same skinny black guy rode by three times: each time ON A DIFFERENT BIKE.

I looked around the smoke-free patio at all the people who probably wouldn’t have sex me and drank a warm half glass of beer that somebody had left. The guy sitting at the table next to me still hadn’t turned around or taken a break from his rapt attention on the single Pringle drum circle so I drank his beer, too.

The bucket drummer seemed to have come equipped with a bunch of the same song played at different speeds. It was okay but he had some really good musician sex faces.

Nobody in the small crowd seemed all that worked up, except the one guy who started looking around for his beer.

I made my way to the restroom and bought a whole bunch of novelty condoms. Just in case.

The dreaded hippie had just started the next version of the last song when I dove back into the sparkling hot city and dogpaddled away.

So we're all familiar with the diversity and gender quotas being forced on companies through ESG, by BlackRock and State Street. We all know it's supposedly in the name of Diversity/Inclusion/Equity. However, when it comes to gender quotas specifically, I suspect it's also another facet of the New World Order depopulation agenda.

Women who work outside the home tend to seek out jobs in certain fields. Careers which are considered male dominated are that way because women often don't want them. It's the reason you don't see women garbage collectors ever.

Now if those careers that women aren't interested in are forced to have a 50/50 split between men and women to comply with ESG, the companies involved seem to have two options. 1) They can either incentivize women to apply for the position by offering much higher pay than they normally would - impractical, and possibly illegal. 2) They can stop hiring men untill the gender divide is even. Regardless of the strategy used to maintain a 50/50 gender split, it will result in few men working.

What does this have to do with depopulation? Glad you asked.

Men being denied employment to maintain quotas will have a direct impact on their romantic and sexual relationships. Women tend to prefer dating men who make more money than them. If gender quotas are keeping men unemployed, those men are going to be seen as less sexually desirable on average, meaning less opportunities for relationships or reproduction. And the population declines.
