Hi friends,
JPMorgan, BlackRock, and the Question of American Interests
JPMorgan Chase, one of the largest and most influential financial institutions in the world, has often positioned itself as a leader in global finance. However, its actions and partnerships, particularly its ties to BlackRock in Ukraine’s reconstruction, raise concerns about whether it truly operates in the best interests of the American people.
JPMorgan’s History of Controversial Practices
JPMorgan has a long history of financial misconduct, including billion-dollar settlements for fraud, market manipulation, and unethical lending practices. *
The bank played a central role in the 2008 financial crisis, contributing to the economic downturn that devastated middle-class Americans while receiving massive government bailouts. *
More recently, it has been accused of profiting from policies that restrict individual financial freedom, such as ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing, which limits funding to industries like fossil fuels and firearms despite their importance to the economy. *
Ties to BlackRock in Ukraine’s Reconstruction
JPMorgan and BlackRock have partnered to structure and manage investment funds aimed at rebuilding Ukraine’s war-torn economy, effectively positioning themselves as key financial overseers of the country’s future.
With billions of dollars in foreign aid and private investments flowing into Ukraine, this partnership raises concerns about corporate control over national assets and economic decision-making.
By managing these funds, JPMorgan and BlackRock gain leverage over Ukraine’s industries, infrastructure, and key economic sectors, potentially prioritizing corporate interests over national sovereignty.
Not in the Best Interest of Americans?
While JPMorgan’s involvement in Ukraine is framed as humanitarian and economic assistance, critics argue that it represents another example of multinational banks using crises to expand control. *
Instead of prioritizing domestic economic stability, affordable housing, or small business growth in the U.S., JPMorgan focuses on international ventures that offer high returns and long-term influence.
The bank’s partnerships with global financial giants like BlackRock suggest a strategy that prioritizes profit and power over national economic resilience.
The Consequences of Financial Domination
JPMorgan’s role in Ukraine’s reconstruction, coupled with its extensive history of controversial practices, underscores concerns about its impact on economic sovereignty. By working alongside BlackRock to shape Ukraine’s post-war economy, it raises questions about corporate influence over nations in crisis. For Americans, this partnership exemplifies the broader issue of global financial institutions wielding excessive power, often at the expense of national interests and individual financial freedom.

1. JPMorgan's History of Financial Misconduct:
Settlements for Fraud and Market Manipulation: In 2013, JPMorgan agreed to a $13 billion settlement for misleading investors about the quality of mortgage-backed securities, marking one of the largest fines in corporate history. dividend.com
Unethical Lending Practices: In 2012, JPMorgan, along with other major banks, agreed to a $26 billion settlement related to mortgage abuses, aiming to provide relief to homeowners affected by wrongful foreclosure practices and mortgage-related misconduct. envzone.com
2. Role in the 2008 Financial Crisis:
JPMorgan Chase played a significant role in the 2008 financial crisis by engaging in risky mortgage lending and securitization practices. The bank's involvement in the packaging and sale of subprime mortgage-backed securities contributed to the housing market collapse, leading to widespread economic downturn. Additionally, JPMorgan acquired Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual during the crisis, further entangling it in the events that led to the financial meltdown.
3. Accusations Related to ESG Investing:
JPMorgan has been involved in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing, which has faced criticism for potentially restricting funding to certain industries. Critics argue that ESG policies can limit investments in sectors like fossil fuels and firearms, impacting economic activities linked to these industries. The bank's participation in ESG initiatives has been scrutinized for possibly prioritizing certain political or social agendas over traditional financial considerations.
4. Criticism of Multinational Banks Using Crises to Expand Control:
Critics argue that multinational banks, including JPMorgan, have historically used financial crises to expand their control and influence. For instance, during the 2008 financial crisis, major banks acquired distressed assets and institutions, consolidating their power in the financial sector. Such actions have led to concerns about increased centralization and the potential for these institutions to prioritize their interests over those of the broader economy.
Examples of JPMorgan's Focus on International Ventures:
JPMorgan has actively pursued international ventures that offer high returns and long-term influence. Notable examples include:
China: The bank secured business deals in Hong Kong by hiring friends and relatives of Chinese government officials, resulting in more than $100 million in revenue.
Ukraine: JPMorgan has been involved in structuring investment funds for Ukraine's reconstruction, positioning itself as a key financial architect in the country's post-war rebuilding efforts.
Examples of JPMorgan's Focus on Globalist Ideals:
· Chairman’s Annual Report (Excerpt: “Just as we need a comprehensive military strategy, globally, to deal with future security risks, we need a comprehensive global economic strategy to deal with future economic risks.”)
· Green Energy Financing Ratio
· Sustainable Development Commitment
These ventures demonstrate JPMorgan's strategy of engaging in international projects that promise substantial financial returns and strategic influence. Financial returns, after all, are the core function of any bank—a legitimate and even necessary goal if those profits are used to benefit clients, shareholders, and the broader economy. However, strategic influence is another matter entirely.
If JPMorgan’s long-term goal is not just financial growth but a role in shaping international economies and policies, then this aligns with a broader globalist agenda—one that consolidates economic power into the hands of a few financial giants, often at the expense of national sovereignty. If so, JPMorgan and BlackRock’s control over Ukraine’s reconstruction, energy, and industry could be seen not just as an investment opportunity, but as an extension of financial governance beyond borders.
This raises a critical question: Whose interests are truly being served? If these financial institutions prioritize global integration, centralized economic planning, and ESG-driven policies over the prosperity and independence of the nations they operate in, then their actions may not be in the best interests of Americans. Instead of supporting economic resilience at home—such as affordable housing, domestic energy production, and small business growth—they are pouring capital into global ventures that increase their leverage over international markets and governments.
While profit-driven investment is a fundamental part of capitalism, the consolidation of financial power in multinational institutions like JPMorgan and BlackRock risks shifting decision-making away from democratic governments and into the hands of unelected financial elites. If this trajectory continues, it could lead to a future where financial corporations, rather than sovereign nations, dictate economic policies, regulations, and resource distribution worldwide—a clear conflict with the principles of American self-governance, economic freedom, and national interest.
Consider this:
Does JPMorgan align with globalism?
Their ESG policies, international influence, and partnerships with global financial elites suggest yes.
Their role in Ukraine’s reconstruction and energy sector fits within a broader trend of using financial leverage to shape economies.
Their past behaviors (government bailouts, control over industries, and pushing for centralized financial policies) indicate globalist tendencies.
How much control do they have; how much do they want?
If their influence extends beyond finance into governance and policymaking, then they are not just banking—they are engineering the structure of global markets.
Their role in Ukraine’s reconstruction gives them direct influence over the country’s economy, political dependencies, and long-term debt obligations.
Big Money’s Goal: Globalism?
The trajectory of BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street reflects a broader historical pattern of consolidation and centralization of power within the financial sector. As these firms continue to expand their influence across various asset classes and geographies, it is essential to consider the implications for market competition, individual property rights, and the functioning of democratic institutions. Balancing the benefits of efficient capital allocation with the risks of excessive concentration remains a critical challenge for policymakers and society at large.
I ask, ‘What could possibly go wrong?’
Who Owns the World? This is why ‘you will own nothing’. It’s an hour video, and I promise you won’t be bored. You may know BlackRock is already buying up all the single family dwellings it can.
God bless you, God bless President Trump and team, and God bless America!
Stay calm - President Trump is a businessman who operates strategically, and not everything will make sense at first. His plan to shrink government and Make America Great Again is a process, not an overnight fix. Trust the long game, not just the headlines.
