I consider it the most critical aspect of the strategy of modern politics, stopping the means of attack that progressive ideologies have inflicted on our nation through the back door of finance. We have seen nothing less than an attack from foreign investment into the critical infrastructure of America. The attack, in many ways, was much more insidious than when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The attack against our country from the realm of finance has been much worse and was everything that President Jackson and President Jefferson were concerned about regarding centralized banking. When the Federal Reserve was eventually created, many were concerned that it would get out of control, which it has. The unholy alliance that emerged in the Federal Reserve in the wake of the 2008 housing bubble burst with Larry Fink of BlackRock has been absolutely detrimental and fulfilled the worst fears that anti-centralized bank critics could even imagine to utter. The situation is so bad that many people can’t comprehend the magnitude of the problem. We are seeing now, with Jerome Powell stating that the Fed would continue to raise interest rates until inflation was under control, how vast the problem really is. But what many don’t know is that Ben Bernanke moved to a plan to print endless amounts of money, which Larry Fink then used to drive BlackRock up to 10 trillion in asset control, which they then used to buy up most of the prominent corporations in America, so to leverage them to change the way they measure success, from profit-based companies to ESG score management, which has been insidious. 

Within a short time, really, over the last decade, the big three asset management companies in the world, BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, have moved to convert every company they deal with into progressive political advocates, essentially using stock buys to control their board of directors. This is how woke politics have emerged into just about everything we interact with, from the products we buy to the companies we work in for our means of income. I often compare it to a group of pirates who pulled alongside a massive galleon full of people, treasure, and big guns with a little schooner flying a peace flag. Then, before it was too late, they ran up the Jolly Roger to show they were pirates, and before the big ship could react, the pirates climbed abord and took over the ship. No longer are the pirates harassing shipping lanes with a little schooner; they have their own galleons and are now a threat to the world’s navies. What Larry Fink did, as a vital member of the Klaus Schwab World Economic Forum, was to capture American industry and use it as a military acquisition to impose progressive politics on all Americans and destroy any concept of national sovereignty government by the American Constitution. That is why they and the Biden administration do not care about the Constitutional rules of our nation, because in their mind, they already control our economy, and there is nothing at this point that we can do about it. We can protest, but they’ll ignore us because they don’t believe we have any power to resist them.

That is until Vivek Ramaswamy, Peter Theil, and several others made the media rounds to discuss the leak from The Wall Street Journal about the money management option that is coming in the 3^rd quarter of 2022, Strive Asset Management. I’ve known about this for a while now and was asked not to talk about it. I have some very dear friends who are working directly with Vivek to make this happen, and their goals are nothing less than to take on BlackRock and recapture all that looted market share. It is, in essence, the equivalent of tricking the pirates with a schooner of our own and getting close and taking back over that ship and running the pirates out of our sea lanes to secure commerce politically free once again. I would say that this is more important than the 2024 election, bigger than CRT in public schools, and far bigger than any considerations happening in Ukraine, China, or Russia. What Strive Asset Management is “striving” to restore capitalism to its value-based measurements and give people who do not like having their 401K plans sabotaged and used for progressive politics an off-ramp for their investments that they currently don’t have. Presently, the money managers are entirely controlled by woke progressive politics, which is why things have turned so chaotic recently. These policies have occurred beyond the political reach of any elected politicians, so the attack vector was one we weren’t prepared for as a nation. We can have a military to be ready for war. We can all own guns in our homes to prevent a domestic invasion. But this invasion came through finance, through our Federal Reserve, through Wall Street, and it came from foreign investment that controls over 20 trillion dollars, more than America’s entire GDP per year. Jackson fought the banks hard during his presidency to prevent this very kind of problem. We understand why because we see it in all its ugliness today.

This is why a few weeks ago, I took my copy of Vivek’s book Woke, Inc to him, where I was at an event he was at and had him sign it. I do not care about celebrity. I’ve met Vivek several times; I like him quite a lot. Just his autograph doesn’t do much for me, personally. But as the years pass and we look back on this time and want to remember it, I want the kids of my kids, kids to know when they see that book on my bookshelf just how important it was at this time and the lessons we all had to learn from it. Very few people saw how dangerous the progressive attack was on our corporate institutions, and Vivek was the first to see the Jolly Roger flag go up on the ship because he wasn’t looking at the flag mast; he was looking at the pirate standing in the ship which was preparing to run it up. And while the damage to our economy has been tremendous, I think we got the alarm out in time. Strive Asset Management is the first significant step into taking back our country. It takes people like Vivek, Peter, and many unnamed people working behind the scenes to make it happen, some of whom I know personally. These are the kind of people who can walk straight into Hell and freeze it over just with their presence. So Strive Asset Management is the place to go with your money. At the same time, the world will realign to the powers of capitalism, rejecting the insurgents who have hijacked all our lives, our governments, and our corporations through the most hostile takeover in world history. And they thought they were going to get away with it and that we’d have no other choice but to bend the knee to their stolen power. That is until Vivek came along and spotted the threat, and the rest is history. Its for that reason, I wanted his signature in my book. Its history now, and I never want people in the future to second guess the role finance plays in a good country the way many criticized President Jackson and his war with the banks without context. Now we know better, and we can never let it happen again.
