Investigative journalist Whitney Webb exposes BlackRock’s hidden agenda to seize control over the natural world under the guise of "saving the planet."
BlackRock’s growth engine requires an endless supply of new assets. Under Larry Fink, the strategy is clear: financialize everything, especially the one frontier not yet on the balance sheet—the natural world.
The goal is to transform nature itself into a vast, new asset class. Forests, rivers, and coral reefs are being quantified, securitized, and turned into tradable financial products. This isn't just about expansion; it's about perpetuating BlackRock's model indefinitely by unlocking unimaginable new collateral.
The mechanism is stunningly simple. Through constructs like "Natural Asset Companies," one can essentially point to a ecosystem, assign value to its "ecological performance," and issue shares against it—creating capital from thin air.
Fink’s vision extends further: a universal blockchain ledger for all natural assets, making every element trackable and surveillable. This digital panopticon allows systems like Aladdin to exercise unprecedented algorithmic control over the global environment.
Crucially, this is all branded as essential for decarbonization. Global carbon markets are the Trojan horse, a "green" veneer for a massive project to unlock trillion-dollar asset pools and create new debt instruments.
The narrative is about saving the planet. The reality is about saving a financial system that requires infinite growth. BlackRock isn’t just investing in the transition; it’s positioning itself as the central banker of the natural world.
