BlackRock Recruiter - US Senator Influence Can Be "Bought" ($$ Hillary "Lockheed" Clinton $$)

[Blue Horseshoe 348]

 

James O’Keefe Drops Bombshell Video On BlackRock: ‘You Got $10k? You Can Buy A Senator’

.....A journalist working for the O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) spoke with BlackRock recruiter Serge Varlay — who told her that because of the vast sums of money the company controls in the global market, they can essentially “run the world.” He began with a caveat, noting that BlackRock did not necessarily want people to notice what they were doing....“They don’t want to be in the news. They don’t want people to talk about them. They don’t want to be anywhere on the radar,” he said, and when the journalist asked him why, he paused. “I don’t know, but I suspect it’s because it’s easier to do things when people aren’t thinking about it.”

....Varlay went on to explain that while BlackRock might be one of the biggest players, the asset management firm was not the only game in town.....“All of these financial institutions, they buy politicians,” he said. “You can take this big f*** ton of money and buy people … It’s not who is the president, it’s who is controlling the wallet of the president. You could buy your candidates. First, there is the senators, these guys are f***ing cheap. Got 10 grand? You can buy a senator. I’ll give you 500k right now … It doesn’t matter who wins, they’re in my pocket.”

...In another segment of the video, Varlay discussed the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine — but strictly from a financial perspective....“Ukraine is good for business, you know that right? Russia blows up Ukraine’s grain silos and the price of wheat is going to go mad up. The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market. The price of bread, literally everything goes up and down, this is fantastic if you’re trading,” Varlay continued, adding, “Volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is real f***ing good for business. It’s exciting when s*** goes wrong, right?”

Varlay said several times that there were other financial institutions taking similar steps to “buy politicians” and influence the global markets, but that the sheer volume of capital that BlackRock was controlling made the company even more formidable.....“BlackRock manages $20 trillion. It’s incomprehensible numbers,” he said....He also claims that BlackRock can influence global politics and culture because it has large stakes in numerous companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Anheuser-Busch, Meta, Target, and Fox. He even says that institutional giants press the media to take sides on a story because they want controversy—no drama, no viewers..... “normal people don’t give a s***” about these harsh realities. “It’s beyond them,” says Varlay....

Senator? You can have my answer now, if you like. My final offer is this: nothing. Not even the fee for the gaming license, which I would appreciate if you would put up personally.

[wiffleball 4,788]

Gee, I'm shocked. 

 

Do you know what's going rate on getting a single word or phrase mentioned in the State of the Union is running these days?

 

But just to refine your simple-minded assertion from Black rock, it's that companies , countriesdon't buy politicians anymore. They buy their staffers, their speech writers. 

 

Because nobody will bat a damn eye if  the assistant secretary staff writer  to the in-house communications director gets an eight-figure job in the private sector 14 months later.

 

Hell. Just look at Scotus. 

 

 

Bombshell! Politicians can be bought!

Can you show me which of their votes have been bought?  Cause I’ve never seen them make a decision not based on the constitution. Maybe you can show me one though 

the Thomas garbage was debunked like a year ago. I’m sure your Alito garbage got him though

its just like when I hear that conservative politicians are beholden to the NRA. Nope they all take donations because they believe in the 2A

Good to see we agree. Every scotus votes on their party line. Except for a couple of conservatives on occasion

Yeah I wasn't being sarcastic or anything.

But you raised a good point, supreme Court judges don't represent political parties, they are supposed to be fair and impartial, hence the problem.

Of course you can.  Though I surmise the cost would rise as you climb the ladder of "importance".

If you want to avoid culpability, just ensure you are a Democrat, then you may do as you please.

No, it's a problem for all parties.  However I will point out that republicans have fought against campaign finance reform and conservative judges have supported their fight.  Both parties are corrupt but at least democrats (and some republicans going back to John McCain) give the appearance of trying to limit corruption whereas the republicans revel in it.

derp derp derp, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Obama Biden....derp derp Republicans

fock Mccain and that war monger POS

Constitutionally speaking campaign finance control is unconstitutional, how someone wants to spend their money and what people are willing to do to get that money is up to them

I mean the biggest "donors" are big tech and it ALL goes to democrats

Why pay them if I know how they are going to vote. If two people on opposite sides of the vote both give 10k who wins. Lots of questions!

Again, they're all corrupt, they all do it, doesn't make it right.  In fact it's completely wrong.  Some of us would like it to change.

You assume that their compliance is not bought, that they just fall in line and allow the leadership to reap the rewards, but I do not. It would not explain the extravagent wealth generated by politicians across the board which their salaries do not support.  No, they get their taste.

You obviously can't read.  That's your problem, not mine.  All I said is that the dems have proposed solutions, republicans have stopped them.  But of course dems will continue to be corrupt as long as it's the law of the land.

Supply and demand, and seniority.   The longer you have been around, the more you get.  This is demonstrated more acutely in office space.  Are you aware of how access to office space works in the Senate and House? It is representative of how the money also works.

The best documentary on that is when Will Smith got elected to congress or whatever.

If anyone is surprised that money is influential in politics and life in general I’d love to play cards with them

If someone thinks they are buying much with 10k they are delusional.

I have yet to see a proposal from either side that focuses on one issue, until that occurs fock them all

everytime I see Dem have a proposal, omg republicans are voting against it, oh really could it maybe be because on page 943 we dont want to fund gender studies in pakistan?

So then you are either assuming the source is lying and there is no money being passed, or the source is lying and there is more money being passed.  What is true for you here?

Gotta love the Harvard educated, well fed, never broke a sweat in his life president of Blackrock saying that people that have never sacrificed before are going to have to. As if he ever did.    We truly have the worst elitists in history.  At least the robber barons built things.

I think people give politicians money all the time, pay 50k to eat dinner in a Hyatt ballroom with them, they fly SC Justices around, pay for their vacays, etc.

To say you are buying one with a check is kind of simplifying the situation to get people to click on the video. Kind of that O’Keefe dudes shtick.
