Thank you, Jessica. Puts it all into perspective. The answers are right there. It's a Counter Reset that involves tearing that whole edifice down. It's in reach and viable, if enough of humanity sees it and decides to do something about it.
Thank you for sharing and recommending. I think this does a great job of pointing out what is happening and why. Highly recommend people take the time to watch and pay attention.
Those institutional investors are buying on behalf of individual investors. Millions of average people own shares of funds managed by those big institutional investors. A lot of people don't buy stock directly, they buy shares in a fund that diversifies and manages their investment for them. The big institutional investors are custodians. I like a good conspiracy as much as the next guy but this isn't one.
I saw his presentation early in the pandemic, but it looks as though he's expanded and deepened it.
Or maybe I just didn't have the experience of the oppressive censorship, propaganda, criminalization of any form of expression, and financial retribution that we've seen brought into play in the past 3 years. They operate with impunity because they think they own us. It certainly does give a sense of the scale of their operation and how much we will need to overcome to get them to back off. Obviously, governments have been bought and paid for, limits constitutional and common law have failed, and these actors have disdain for any of that. They want us controlled and compliant...or dead.
Never would have said that 3 years ago, even though I was cynical and knew plenty about BigFood, BigPharm, BigRetail, BigGovernment. Turns out I was naive.

Had to turn the video off, It is a complete farce and bears no relation to reality.
The investment managers cited - like Vanguard, BlackRock ad State Street do now own any of the shares - these investment management companies are AGENTS of other investors - individuals that save for retirement in 401k's and Target Date Funds, State pension funds, Insurance companies and so on.
The narrator does not even touch on the competitive forces between the dozens of food manufacturers or how they are regulated.
Almost all the funds managed by State Street and Vanguard are PASSIVE funds, that mechanistically replicate stock and bond market indices. Half of BlackRock's funds are also PASSIVE.
There are issues with investment managers that bear scrutiny, but this shallow, ill-informed and slick video does not deal with them.
BlackRock is the major shareholder after Zuckerberg in Facebook. The platform that has the world by the balls and censors unapologetically is controlled by Black Rock. 1984 is a walk in the park compared to the world we currently live in.
Try to find the book 'The Earth Brokers' by Pratap Chatterjee and Matthias Finger published 1994.
I had trouble finding a copy that was affordable.
This answered all my questions about when (1992) these fiends decided to own everything. Rio de Janeiro. Biodiversity summit, which I cheered at the time(!)

You can buy anything in this world with money.
We're going to need to prioritize on other things beyond money, and not let ourselves be owned in that manner. Some of those big companies mentioned are at the root of our retirement fund options (401K's). If we pulled our money out of those funds, they'd have to sell off assets. And if we bought those successful assets ourselves, then it would divest them of power.
There is a need for less consumption in many ways, particularly of the mainstream media, where our slavish focus allows manipulation, through the spreading of fear and hopelessness. It slowly ensnares us into a life of ease, without focus on relationships around us (family and communities) where something as simple as communication and collaboration there, building friendships, etc. can lead to service for one another, or the sharing of infrequently used tools that would otherwise be individually purchased.
The strengthening and restoration of the family as a central organization of our societies, with focus on raising children on good principles ,will help cut back on divorce leading to individualized households (and all the appliances, building materials, individual purchases, etc) help propel more consumerism and further enrich these people.
Imagine having family members or neighbors on whom we could interrelate with, and support one another instead of relying on costly services, mental health issues, drug use/addiction, and so many other crutches that we use to enrich our lives. This would help slow down the ability for people to be pitted against one another, or fall into homelessness and poverty because they can't individually survive.
This would set back so many costs that we individually incur to satisfy the emotional hunger within us, or because it's more convenient.
For them, it's more profitable to tear families apart so that they can multiply the purchases needed to sustain life as an individual. And it weakens the nations, drives animosity, keeps people from bonding with one another through relationships established through other family members (think of parents of your kids' friends, or through their sports teams, through our churches, friends of our family members, etc)
Late edit (in case anybody chooses to pull their heart):
Jesus taught us two great commandments: Love God first (with all your heart/mind/mind/strength), and to love your neighbor as yourself. These alone would undermine all the fear, animosity, estrangement, etc. that plagues us.
Heck, I would want to create a slogan that's easy to remember and put out on bumper stickers. Something like "I support a love of God, family, country and communities. How about you?"
Sadly true. But really not new. The state of the world for nearly 10,000 years. Prof Michael Hudson's book "Forgive the their Debts" goes into detail on the history and how it worked then and how it works now.
unfortunately it is almost impossible to not be part of some here and there. Our bank belongs to one and the bank of my parents to another. And god knows how much of merchandise belongs to them

I came across this early last year. It’s staggering! Fortunately Twitter is now a privately held company. #ThanksElon
Nice to see you back on Twitter Jess!
Found this kinda devastating. Left me in tears.
Thanks very much Jessica for posting. x

These are not the droids you are looking for.

SUPERB
Thank you for this. Nothing really new here but a reminder of the pickle we are in. No easy
answers but localizing our efforts seem to be the path that we must follow.
This is a good concise summary and should be mandatory viewing for all normies.

Already bought... not buying.
