Excerpt: 

BlackRock chief executive Larry Fink has been appointed interim co-chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), which organises the annual meeting of leaders in Davos, Switzerland.

Andre Hoffmann, the vice chairman of Swiss-based healthcare company Roche Holding, will also be interim co-chairman of the WEF, according to an announcement on Friday.

“We remain optimistic. The forum has an opportunity to help drive international collaboration in a way that not only generates prosperity but distributes it more broadly.”

“This renewed vision can promote open markets and national priorities side by side, while advancing the interests of workers and stakeholders globally,” they said.

Both Mr Fink and Mr Hoffmann have been serving on the WEF’s board before being appointed to the current position.

The board of trustees of the WEF cleared founder Klaus Schwab of any “material wrongdoing” following an investigation into allegations raised by anonymous whistleblowers.

“Following a thorough review of all facts, the board has concluded that, while the organisation must evolve toward a more institutional model, there is no evidence of material wrongdoing by Klaus Schwab,” the WEF said in the statement.

2022 Book: Great Reset By Marc Morano – Chapter 12 Excerpt: ‘COVID Lockdowns Morph to Climate Lockdowns’

Book Excerpt:

Climate change concerns are also being used to manipulate the financial system in other ways. Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, the author of the book Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam, explained how BlackRock founder and CEO Larry Fink is the “King of the Woke Industrial Complex” and acts as “the puppet master behind the scenes of Corporate America.”

“He is CEO of the world’s largest asset manager and what they do is they cause companies to bend the knee to woke orthodoxy because BlackRock says that we won’t invest in your company, unless you abide by these progressive standards, or we will dock the pay of a CEO or fire a CEO who refuses to bend the knee,” Ramaswamy explained.55

Fink has publicly admitted that he believes coercion is necessary to achieve his agenda. “Behaviors are going to have to change, and this is one thing we are asking companies. You have to force behaviors, and at BlackRock we are forcing behaviors,” Fink explained in 2017 at a New York Times forum. “You have to force behaviors, and if you don’t force behaviors, whether it’s gender or race or just any way you want to say the composition of your team, you’re gonna be impacted,” Fink said. He added, “We’re gonna have to force change.”

BlackRock uses other people’s money to force this ideology on companies, according to Ramaswamy. “It is not their money. That $10 trillion doesn’t belong to BlackRock. Say what you will about George Soros, at least it’s his money. In this case, it is money that belongs to you, to everyday Americans in this country whose blood would boil if they actually knew the way their own money was being used to force a progressive social orthodoxy back onto them.”

“The three largest asset managers in this country, State Street, Vanguard, and the king of them all, BlackRock…together manage today over $20 trillion. That’s more than the GDP of the United States,” he said. They “are aggregating the money of everyday pensioners and retirees, et cetera,” Ramaswamy detailed. “They are using the private sector to effectuate a left-wing social agenda that they could not directly effectuate through Congress.”

“ESG [environment, social, and governance], DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), CSR (corporate social responsibility); there are three-letter acronyms—word salads—that are designed to hide the essence of what is going on,” he said.

“That is not the free market in action. It’s even worse than a monopoly or an ideological cartel. They’re working hand in glove with the party in power to be able to do their bidding through the private sector,” Ramaswamy explained.

“If you couldn’t get the Green New Deal through Congress, guess what John Kerry is doing. He’s getting every major banking CEO to sign the so-called climate pledge,” he added, calling it a “form of crony capitalism.”

“And here’s the kicker . . . they apply that to the U.S. companies, but they don’t apply it to the Chinese companies. So in the United States, they preach ESG. In China, they supplicate to the CCP,” he said.

“It is the defining scam of our time,” he concluded.
