If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,

Good for them. The comments to the story though. Amusing.

FYI
"During the 2008 Meltdown when the government bailed out too-big-to-fail giants like Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac - who did they hire to analyze and clean up the mess?Another giant financial firm by the name of BlackRock, lead by a very well connected billionaire by the name of Larry FinkBlackRock was award these key government contracts to help with the meltdown with no competitive bidding while being enveloped in secrecyBasically, Larry Fink was hired to be the manager of Washington’s bailout of Wall Street, even though BlackRock is one of the biggest shareholders in the same banks that they were helping to bail out.In 2020, who did the money printer of the US, the Federal Reserve, hire to manage their scheme to buy corporate bonds? (Basically, they were bailing out corporations that had too much debt or needed to borrow money)You guessed it, they went right back to BlackRock.Even though again, the same corporations BlackRock was helping to bailing out, were the same corporations they owned some of the biggest stakes inAnd yet, despite all his considerable power, the general public has practically never heard of Larry FinkWith BlackRock barely coming into the public eye during the recent claims that they’re buying up single-family homesThat’s because Larry is smart - he’s intentionally kept it that wayHe’s spent the last 33 years building BlackRock into the biggest asset manager in the world, with over $9 trillion dollars under their managementToday, BlackRock’s clients include the retirement accounts of average everyday people in the form of pension funds, they also have sovereign wealth funds as their clients, other central banks, college endowments, “Fortune 500 companies”, and millions of individual investorsThis is BlackRockWhat some call "the most influential financial institution in the world,"The world's largest shadow bank,And perhaps… the company that owns the world… When Larry Fink was asked by Bloomberg if it’s true that he’s the most powerful man in finance - the man responsible for $9 trillion dollars tried to convince you otherwise - that “I don’t think of myself as powerful”Is that true? Does BlackRock own the world? Well, it’s a little complicated"

It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16
Nothing like a little hyperbole.… the company that owns the world…

Doesn't sound much different than the US government. Or a vampire. Silently working away in the dead of dark night sucking the life out of its victims.
We're going to stand on what's left of the time island of "there's no evidence" until there's no place left to stand. When you add all the bits and pieces from every sector that are selling us out, it adds up to quacking like a duck.

I'm not so much worried about Blackrock. They're just the current boogyman making the rounds, albeit for a few years at this point, that any youtube channel, vlog, etc. will take a shot at while they rehash the same info. It's the equivalent of lazy journalism just on the other side.

I agree it's just Blackrock's turn. Dismissing the elephant in the room just because incessantly chattering magpies won't shut up in no way negates what Blackrock is, nor what it is doing.
There's quite a list of "boogeymen" treated exactly that way. The Border/fentanyl. Each and every one of Biden's energy policies. Each and every one of the left's social and socialist agendas.
I'm having a real hard time coming up with even a single "conspiracy", or making mountains out of molehills, that hasn't come true and isn't biting us in the ass.
There's a difference between whack-job conspiracy theories and connecting real dots to collective disaster. To me, anyway.
