Wokeness

BOYCOTTS: The Big 3 – BlackRock, Vanguard & State Street

Posted on by Helena

The backlash boycotts against Disney, Bud Light and now Target have been massive and effective.  While Bud Light attempted to rectify their misaligned marketing campaign, Target has taken the ideology to extreme levels in promoting trans conversions for ‘children’.   The Target marketing strategy was NOT in the adult section of the store – it was pushing an agenda on children’s clothing.   These are Public Companies with fiduciary responsibilities and duties to their shareholders – that could result in lawsuits for gross mismanagement.

In 2023, Disney has lost 6.4 million subscribers as a direct result of their internal policies.   Since March 2021 when the boycott began the share price of Disney has tanked from $197 per share to just $88.   Target’s share price has dropped a full 13% since the boycott began just ten days ago translating to a $10 billion loss.   Unlike Bud Light, Target doubled down;  adding satanic clothing for children.

The bottom line of marketing strategy is to increase sales thru an understanding of who your market audience is.   Less than half of 1% of people in the US identify as trans.   I remember when BLM began its racist canvassing campaign – Jesse Waters started the college campus crusade equipped with a microphone and some basic questions.   His comedy revealed that the uneducated college grads thought the US population demographic were comprised of over 50% black vs 13%.    Why?  Because the media pushed that belief.

Today the media push is to create the impression that the trans community is representative of 10%-20% of the US population and they ALL are pedophiles looking to convert your children.   In actuality – the source of this version of wokeness is born primarily in schools.   Schools funded by tax dollars thru Department of Education and Property Taxes.   Property Taxes are supposed to fund based on “enrollment”.

In that revelation – the best means of boycotting trans indoctrination of children would be to pull your children from public education.   As schools face reduced enrollment, they have a choice in reducing trans aligned woke teaching or conservative teachers dedicated to helping children achieve!   Like public companies – that choice is a bottom line depression.    Homeschooling being the most viable option it has evolved into an enterprise of its own!

In a true Capitalist society, the executives of corporations are paid based on performance.   They are rewarded based on performance.   A negative performance would typically result in their dismissal or the forfeiture of a large portion of their salary.   Target executives and the Board apparently don’t care – and that is concerningly odd.

When boycotts are rabid – Target’s CEO, Brian Cornell, made the corporate decision to suffer losses on behalf of their shareholders.   Knowingly.   In defense, Cornell is claiming his policies have been the ‘driver of growth’ via diversity, equity and inclusion.   That declaration is false – Target’s Leadership team has one black.   Cornell has been Target’s CEO since 2014.   When he came onboard the stock was trading at roughly $60 per share.   By July 2021, Target shares had risen to $260.   Today the stock has dropped nearly 50%, Net Income is at its lowest level since 2017 and EPS have dropped nearly 60% year over year.

Who is really driving the Corporate Wokeness?

The answer is the Hedge Funds:   BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street who are among the largest investors of all major corporations.  They make the rules, initiate the Credit Scoring system that all corporations must abide by or have their business literally destroyed.   These Funds force the incorporation of ESG.   In the case of BlackRock, Larry Fink is the progenitor of all things Liberal Agenda compliance.

BlackRock is now the largest Hedge Fund in the world holding over $10 TRILLION in assets.   Fink sits on the board of the World Economic Forum.   BlackRock’s fame began in 2008 when the Bush administration contracted with them to help ‘cleanup the contrived financial meltdown’.   This move cemented BlackRock’s power within the CIA/Obama alliance.   Over the following 13 years, BlackRock’s portfolio increased 1000% and its share price tripled.

In 2019, Fink declared he would divest BlackRock of fossil fuel companies.   Despite that declaration, the Fund owns 92m shares of ConocoPhillips, 39m shares of Marathon Petroleum, 47m shares of EOG Resources, 33m shares of Valero Energy and 134m shares of Chevron.  What the portfolio lacks is solar and wind farms.   There is no ESG.   It died because it wasn’t profitable.

BlackRock owns 7.5%% of State Street, with a total of $8 trillion under management.   They own nearly 14% of Vanguard which has assets under management stated to be $7.2 trillion.   Vanguard owns 8.4% of BlackRock, and State Street owns 4.2% of BlackRock.  These three Institutions hold roughly 18.5% of Disney.   It is a circular CLUB.

When conservatives initiate boycotts the losses sustained by the individual companies also hit these Monster Hedge Funds!  That equates to losses for these Institutional Holders when conservatives Boycott.   That is Power.

These three hedge funds control $25 trillion in assets – ¼ of Global GDP.   This is why they continue to believe that they are the Global Chosen Ones.   By comparison, the BRICs control 31.5% of global GDP having surpassed the G7 at 30%.     Bloomberg estimates this skew will grow exponentially by 2030 when the BRIC’s will control 50% of global GDP.   China is the largest BRIC member.   While demonizing the China narrative, in reality all US intelligence agencies concur that wooing China is imperative.

Decoupling China assures the rise of BRIC’s – and the fall of the G7.   While our esteemed government demands a decoupling based on the false premise that China has aspirations of heading the New World Order via organizations such as WHO, they wholly ignore the Bill Gates and Clinton control…   A damaging view that will allow the true Cabal in Power.

A different assessment might simply couple trade with China via an alliance that is based on a ‘package’.   The package would limit deficit trade to zero.   Assure the dollar as the means.   And create a more broad based alliance to include greater trade with India, Mexico and South America.   A Department of Trade to fill the voids of the eliminated:  Department of Education, Department of Interior, Department of Labor, Department of State, Department of Health, Federal Reserve, CIA, FBI & NSA, and Department of Housing whose functions have little affect on our economy, is a MUCH more economic powerhouse! 

These drags on growth would also eliminate NGO funding which operates as the Shadow Government, aka The Cabal.  

Media Hypocrisy – Science as Theory – Medicine as a Philosophy…

It is so much FUN when hypocrisy is caught red-handed.   In the universe of diversity and support of all things minority/black, the Liberal Media are quick to lash out at the nasty conservatives for promoting a nearly all white old male agenda within their ranks of business.   And yet, the most prominent within the MSM tend to be the least diverse.   Case in Point:

CNN:   Their executive team in 2020 was made up of 15 members. Nary a one was black, Asian, Hispanic or Indian.   Pretty young women represented 40% of the Team.   Today, they retired a few and added a few for a total of 17 members, including a black female diversity officer, a black male VP of Standards who came from NYT and Ford Foundation, and an ‘interim’ black woman as head of Human resources, firing the white woman.   This brought the sum total of female representation to 40% while adding the newly created ‘Diversity Department’ and replacing a number of old white men with younger white men.

New York Times:   Their Executive team totals just nine members; two white women, five white men, one black woman newly acquired January 2021, and one black man. The women represent 30% and the two black persons represent 22%.

Washington Post:   The Executive Team is composed of 13 individuals;   including 11 men, one of whom is Indian the remainder are white.  And the alternate would include their 2 token women.   No blacks or Hispanics at all.   Odd…

 US NEWS & World Report:   just loves to label everything conservative as racist and misogynist.   So lets see who represents their Team of 28.   Woman = 12 including one Indian, Men = 16 including 3 Indians.   But wait!   What happened to all the blacks and Hispanics and Asians???   Tch, tch.  Apparently they don’t exist!

Politico:   The nonpartisan, non-non, left leaning liberal magazine has a Leadership Team of 35 individuals.   They would be comprised of 3 black women (8.5%), one of whom is in charge of the newly created ‘Diversity Department’, 1 Chinese woman, 1 Japanese woman, and 1 Indian male.  Outside of that – everyone is white.  Gender diversity would include 18 men and 17 women. An A+ in gender, and an F in Black and Hispanic diversity.

Former Director-General and CEO of the BBC and New York Times was required to step down amidst a lawsuit alleging racism, sexism, ageism, and misogyny.     The resignation at BBC came amidst scandals involving pedophile Jimmy Savile, whereupon Thompson transferred to the NYT.   TA-DA!   The suit was brought against these media outlets by 2 black women citing Mr. Thompson, chief revenue officer and Meredith Kopit Levien, CEO. Mr. Thompson resigned and Mz Levien remains CEO.

The problem with “Wokeness” is that it is a fairly new term having arisen with the advent of Black Lives Matter in 2014. Seven years later, it would seem that MSM is still SNORE Asleep!   The Washington Post which has no blacks or Hispanics at all and a female representation of 15% on its executive team, declared it was in solidarity with the Russian rock group Pussy Riot  in 2012 as – woken to female oppression.    Really?   How are they WOKEN?

Talking the talk – is a rotted feces.

Apparently ‘wokism’ is considered a summation of the leftist political ideology which centers on;   social justice and critical race theory.

Two “Cultural Scientists’, Rosalind Gill whose degree is in social psychology, and Akane Kanai who teaches media, film and journalism, are considered warriors who are  concerned about ‘woke capitalism’.   Because of course capitalists cannot by definition be ‘Woke’!   Silly me.   Only leftist Liberals are allowed to be woke. But then I wasn’t aware that psychology and media had become ‘scientific’ endeavors.   But it would explain how the Media and Hollywood feel quite confident in their conveyance of all things Science.

In antiquity, science was equated to an individual of upper class who was well educated and was investigating nature. These same scientists were considered philosophers.   Thinkers, astronomers, philosophers.

Then with the decline of the Roman Empire, there was a corresponding decline of intellectuals.   It wasn’t until the Middle Ages when , Aristotle from 500 BC, was resurrected as a source of knowledge.

Little else evolved until the 1800’s, 2300 years after the science philosophers, that ‘natural’ was replaced with such terms as biologist, physicist and scientist elevating their theories to mini-gods. At which point sociology, economics and geography became known as ‘Science’.   And later, social science included; law, business, public policy, and even marketing!

So, technically speaking when our esteemed media, neighbor, or governor declares that we must ‘follow the science’ they could actually be referring to “follow the marketing advertisers”, or “follow the lawyers”, or even “follow the psychologists”!!

Because they are all considered Scientists now.  Everybody is a Scientist.

Of course the definition becomes even more hilarious as Formal Science includes: system theory, and theoretical computer science.  

BY definition, Theory is:   a supposition, an opinion, a hypothesis, a conjecture, or simply, a belief.   Nowhere is there the term – FACT.

Synonyms of Medicine include:   healing, cure, practice and science.   Medicine is NOT healing or cure, and the practice is science – or theory – or opinion.

It appears I have digressed a bit from my original topic of hypocrisy.   But the frame is still consistent.   Hypocrisy is being deceitful.

And the deceit of “Follow The Science” would be that Science is anything more than a belief or opinion.   And the media is everything – deceitful.
