Podcast appearances and mentions of Larry Fink

Fixed income investing is experiencing a powerful resurgence. With yields at multi-decade highs, income opportunities are abundant, yet investors must navigate uncertainty in capital markets and shifting macroeconomic dynamics. In this episode of The Bid, we explore why fixed income is once again a compelling anchor for portfolios.Host Oscar Pulido sits down with Rick Rieder, Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income at BlackRock, live from the Future Proof Festival in Huntington Beach. Together, they discuss why prioritizing income over duration is the key theme in today's bond markets, and how investors can uncover opportunities across geographies and asset classes. Rick emphasizes the importance of dynamic, flexible portfolio construction. With fixed income yields at levels not seen in decades, investors now have the chance to rethink their allocations and position portfolios for long-term growth.Sources: BlackRock Fixed Income Q3 Outlook, Bloomberg as of Tuesday 9th September 2025Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction01:28 Rick Rieder's High Level Insights on Fixed Income Landscape02:04 Economic Forces and Investment Strategies02:56 Global Fixed Income: Opportunities and Risks06:51 Dynamic Asset Allocation and Portfolio Management12:12 Currency Views and Market Predictions13:49 Conclusion: Staying in the Game16:16 Outro and Next Episode on InfrastructureFixed income investing, Capital markets, Megaforces, Stock market trends, BlackRockThis content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

What does BlackRock's former crypto lead see in Ethereum that others still miss? Joseph Chalom joins Bankless to take us inside the IBIT/ETHA ramp, why BUIDL launched on Ethereum mainnet, and the simple—but powerful—framework he uses to value ETH as “high-octane money.” We break down staking inside ETFs, the tokenization roadmap from stablecoins to the S&P in your wallet, and the real mechanics of ETH treasury companies—mNAV premiums, ATMs, converts, and the transparency metrics that matter.

Journalists, Prime Ministers, and Presidents have all noted that the Bolshevik revolution in Russia was primarily organized by Jews from all across the world, not for some random reason but as punishment for the Czars compromising Jewish domination and exploitation of Russian economics, finance, and culture. The Protocols of Zion are usually presented as a forgery or a grand plan of Jewish globalism, though what they really were is genius propaganda to discredit the Bolshevik conspiracy. According to the ADL, nationalism, nonintervention, anti-illegal immigration, and anti-globalism are all antisemitic, implying that such things are a “semitic” or “Jewish” agenda. Billionaire Larry Ellison is seeking to use AI, which he says is largely developed in Israel, to track and monitor all Americans, and this comes shortly before Israel's Unite 8200 was caught exploiting Microsoft cloud servers to spy on all Americans while creating a massive database. A WSJ report also just exposed how 350 startup tech companies are really the agents of what has been termed Palantir Mafia. Larry Fink was also just announced as one of the new leads of the WEF, and he has goals identical to the Protocols of Zion, though such a fact would be dismissed because, well, they're a forgery. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Bitcoin may be breaking records again, but this time it's not because of retail frenzy. Search trends, social media chatter, and small-investor activity are all far quieter than they were in 2017 or 2021. The people driving this move aren't hobby traders—they're the biggest institutions and the wealthiest investors on the planet. Look at BlackRock. Larry Fink once dismissed Bitcoin as an “index of money laundering.” Now he's calling it “digital gold,” and his firm's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has become the fastest-growing ETF in history.  It's pulled in nearly $90 billion, representing more than 3% of all the Bitcoin that will ever exist. Those billions aren't coming from TikTok influencers—they're coming from pensions, hedge funds, and the kind of family offices that have multi-generational plans for capital preservation and growth. Even Harvard University has made the leap. Back in 2018, its star economist Kenneth Rogoff said Bitcoin was more likely to hit $100 than $100,000. Today, Harvard's endowment owns more of BlackRock's IBIT than it does Apple stock in its U.S. equity portfolio. That's not just a change of heart—it's a complete reversal in worldview. And of course, there's Michael Saylor, whose MicroStrategy now holds close to 3% of the total future Bitcoin supply, turning a business software company into a corporate Bitcoin vault. This is institutional FOMO. The biggest asset manager on Earth is selling it, elite universities are holding it, corporate treasuries are betting their future on it, and family offices are adding it to the same portfolios that hold their blue-chip stocks and trophy real estate. But institutions aren't the only ones making this move. There's another wave—quieter but just as significant—coming from the ultra-high-net-worth crowd. The centimillionaires.  The people who can wire $10 million into a position without blinking. I've always said: never take financial advice from someone with less money than you. Well, Gary Cardone has a lot more than me—and he's all in on Bitcoin. Gary is part of what they call “smart money.” He's in the same camp as the other ultra-wealthy who aren't just dabbling in crypto—they're making conviction bets.  And when you see people with that kind of capital and that kind of access all moving in the same direction, it's worth listening to why. That's exactly why I sat down with him—to hear, straight from someone in that rarefied circle, why Bitcoin has gone from a curiosity to a core holding.

In 2016, Mukesh Ambani stood on stage and made a promise that seemed impossible. Jio would give away data virtually free and still build a profitable business. The telecom industry laughed. Six years later, Jio had 450 million subscribers and had driven three major competitors into extinction or merger.Now imagine that same playbook applied to your money.Last year, when Jio partnered with BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with over $10 trillion under management, most people saw it as just another foreign partnership. But here's what they missed.India's mutual fund industry manages around 50 trillion rupees. And yet, only 3-4% of Indians have ever invested in a mutual fund. That's 1.3 billion people whose savings are locked in fixed deposits, gold, and real estate, earning returns that barely keep pace with inflation.To put this in perspective, Americans invest approximately 55% of their savings in financial markets, whereas Indians invest around 3-4%.That gap represents the single largest wealth creation opportunity in the world.Blackrock's Larry Fink knows this, Jio's Mukesh Ambani knows this.And more importantly, they know something that the incumbents don't want to admit: that India's investment industry is ripe for the kind of disruption that decimated the telecom sector.Because what's bigger than one 800-pound gorilla? Two 800-pound gorillas.Zerodha*, India's largest broker, has 15 million users. That's very impressive, until you realise that Jio adds that many telecom subscribers in a single quarter. The entire Indian mutual fund industry has 40 million unique investors.Jio has more customers in just Mumbai.And unlike telecom, where Jio could simply outspend and outlast its competitors, financial services are about trust, not just technology.You may switch your phone carrier for cheaper data, but will you hand over your life savings to the same company that provides your internet?In today's episode, we are asking the question that's keeping every person working in financial services across mutual funds and brokerages awake at night.Can Jio BlackRock do to investing in wealth what Jio did to telecom?Joining hosts Praveen Gopal Krishnan and Rohin Dharmakumar for the discussion are Manish Jain, co-founder and CPO of Sahi Broking. Manish previously served as the head of product at Fisdom and was the SVP of product and digital transformation at Kotak Securities, and Nirav Karkera, who's the head of research at Fisdom, a leading fintech platform for wealth management.Welcome to episode 52 of Two by Two.-Additional reading:The motley crowd joining the great Indian mutual-fund rush….- https://the-ken.com/long_and_short/the-motley-crowd-joining-the-great-indian-mutual-fund-rush/Jio Blackrock is not your usual Reliance offensive- https://the-ken.com/long_and_short/jio-blackrock-is-not-your-usual-reliance-offensive/Additional listening:Can Smallcase maintain its relevance in a changing market?- https://the-ken.com/podcasts/two-by-two/can-smallcase-maintain-its-relevance-in-a-changing-market/-This episode of Two by Two was produced by Hari Krishna.

The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, reacts to the company's Q2 earnings report as the firm's assets under management swelled to a new record. Plus how his company is investing to help power the AI boom. Then the CFO of Wells Fargo breaks down the quarter and why the company lowered its outlook for net interest income. And White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks joins the show, live from the Pennsylvania Energy and AI Summit in Pittsburgh, breaking down how the U.S. plans to win the global AI race.

The Center for Photography at Woodstock calls Larry Fink (1941-2023) "one of the last great humanist photographers." CPW has organized an exhibition of Fink's photographs, which depict his immersion in New York's Beat scene, the Civil Rights movement, and Manhattan nightlife. "Larry Fink: Sensual Empathy," is on view at CPW in Kingston, New York through August 31. Curator Lucy Sante and CPW executive director Brian Wallis discuss the show and the importance of Fink's photographs.

Hijo de padres judíos, Larry Fink estudió ciencias políticas en la Universidad de California, pero se inclinó por las finanzas y luego obtuvo su máster en administración de empresas. Años después, cofundó BlackRock, una multinacional estadounidense de inversión que, para 2024, administraba 11.500 billones de dólares en activos. Como CEO de BlackRock, Larry Fink ha sido reconocido como uno de los mejores líderes del mundo en el ámbito de las finanzas.

So far, 2025 has been a year of sharp policy shifts and heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. With volatility becoming the new normal, how can investors stay grounded? In this episode of The Bid, host Oscar Pulido welcomes back Glenn Purves, Global Head of Macro at the BlackRock Investment Institute, to break down the firm's 2025 Midyear Outlook.They explore why the long-term economic picture has become less predictable, how mega forces like AI and geopolitical fragmentation are reshaping global economic markets, and what “investing in the here and now” really means. From the role of private capital in funding infrastructure and energy to the balance between strategic and tactical asset allocation, Glenn shares how investors can find opportunity amid uncertainty in the economy—and what risks investors should watch for in the second half of the year.Sources: 2025 Midyear Outlook, BlackRock Investment InstituteKey moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction to 2025 Market Volatility01:55 Introducing the Investment Midyear Outlook02:46 Geopolitical Fragmentation and Mega Forces03:48 3 Investment Themes In 202505:10 Navigating Uncertainty and Risk08:47 The Role of AI and Energy in Investments13:19 Geopolitical Landscape and Trade Policies16:49 Conclusion and Key Takeaways19:30 Summer Series on The Bid

In a recent BlackRock survey of registered voters, more than 75% of retirees said they wished they had saved more money for retirement. And with the recent passage of the SECURE 2.0 Act now in effect, opening up new opportunities for savers, investors are considering how to save and build wealth for the future. Shoring up emergency savings is protective of retirement savings, according to research by The BlackRock Foundation. So how can investors ensure they're pulling all the levers at their disposal to retire on their own terms?Rob Crothers, Head of U.S. Retirement for BlackRock, will discuss the current state of the retirement landscape and help us unpack a toolkit for retirement savers that's been proposed by the Bipartisan Policy Center and how investors and employers can plan for the future.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Introduction: The Importance of Saving for Retirement00:17 Exploring the SECURE 2.0 Act and Retirement Universals02:01 Current Retirement Landscape and Policy Changes04:06 BlackRock's D.C.

As tensions flare between Iran and Israel, investors are watching oil, gold, and, of course, crypto. In this episode of Bits + Bips, the panel digs into the market response to war risk, the chances the Fed will actually cut rates, and how Circle's IPO is being treated more like a meme stock than a fintech play. Plus: Why Scaramucci says we're all living in a surveillance state  Whether stablecoins are being kneecapped by U.S. regulation  When altcoin ETFs are coming And what BlackRock's Larry Fink secretly told Scaramucci about Bitcoin in 2021

The global investment environment is full of uncertainty — from inflation, growth dynamics, to policy shifts and geopolitical tensions. Investors are seeking clarity and ways to unlock more consistent investment outcomes during a period of unpredictable conditions. Innovations in data analytics and technology are helping investors better understand markets not just in during turbulent times, but in everyday decision making. But is AI the answer to consistent investment performance, and how can human judgment have the potential to create more resilient investment results? Enter systematic investing, that blends human insight and machine learning to pursue consistent alpha in volatile markets through disciplined processes, alternative data, and continuous innovation.Ronald Kahn, Global Head of Systematic Investment Research at BlackRock, has played a foundational role in shaping the field of quantitative investing over the past few decades. He joins host Oscar Pulido to talk about what it means to pursue consistent alpha in today's markets, how data and technology have evolved investors' expectations and how systematic investing continues to deliver potential in uncertain conditions.Key moments in this episode:00:00 Investment Uncertainty in 202502:23 Pursuing Consistent Alpha in Volatile Markets04:02 The Role of Data and Technology04:26 Alternative Data in Action07:53 Systematic Investing and Technology12:44 Human and Machine Collaboration16:07 Considerations for Individual Investors18:47 Conclusion and Next Episode PreviewCheck out the full series covering tariffs and market volatility on The Bid: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3iiZbbNz3eI08zXGZ4n3LI?si=TNiOrYRoSxyXVsbwsBs68Q

Josh Sigurdson reports on claims by Israel and CIA agents that the Iranian government will strike the United States with a massive cyber attack in the next 30 days. A clear example of an impending false flag to push the US not only into the Iran War but also into a new digital surveillance system based in technocratic digital IDs. As this story gains steam on the cusp of war, a cyber attack has crippled North America's largest grocery distributor UNFI which halted operation at 30,000 retail locations including Whole Foods. This is a clear normalization tactic to destroy the supply chain by design and bring in a ration based system. Add this to the censorship campaign by the Trump administration attempting to stifle anyone who criticizes Israel or the Iran War agenda and you have a new social credit system in place. Trump signed off on major AI governance deals recently in Saudi Arabia and Qatar alongside Alex Karp of Palantir and Larry Fink of Blackrock. Now, Palantir has been given massive Pentagon contracts to spy on Americans with a massive database. The supply chain is being taken over by Blackrock. This is not a coincidence. The UK is also deploying an AI surveillance tool built by Palantir. Digital IDs are being launched by the UK government, the EU and the United States as well as new mandates in Russia for digital ID wallets. Artificial intelligence is clearly taking over by design.

Story of the Week (DR):The Baby Billionaire Bromance is Over: Savannah Guthrie Says Elon Musk and Donald Trump Are 'Giving 7th Grade Girl' as President Says Tesla CEO 'Has Lost His Mind'"It's so confusing isn't it? So much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine.”BlackRock removed from Texas boycott list after quitting climate groupsIn a notable reversal, Texas removed BlackRock from its investment blacklistThis decision followed BlackRock's withdrawal from several climate-focused initiatives, including the Net Zero Asset Managers alliance and Climate Action 100+Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar cited these actions, along with BlackRock's support for the new Texas Stock Exchange, as reasons for the delisting.“More than $4 billion in Texas funds are invested with BlackRock,” the rep said.The Larry Fink-led company had $11.55 trillion in assets under management at the end of the fourth quarter in 2024.0.0346% Is that possible?Larry Fink; $31M; $11M bonus: “These amounts represent the discretionary annual cash Bonuses … The amount of incentive compensation awarded … was based on subjective criteria”“Lead in a changing world: Completed the creation of a more modern and unified Corporate Affairs function and leveraged the function to refresh the firm's corporate narrative and strengthen its brand.”“Corporate sustainability: Achieved BlackRock's 100% renewable electricity match goal and enhanced the Company's approach to procuring market solutions.”32% said NO on Pay (BlackRock owns 6% of BlackRock)99% said NO to Bowyer Research's theatrical request for a report on “risks related to a perceived shift away from a traditional understanding of fiduciary responsibility to stakeholder capitalism, implied by its assent to the Business Roundtable's Statement on the Purpose of a Corporation, as well as a high-profile embrace of ESG and DEI.”BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has some words of wisdom for leaders navigating the age of populism and social media: Watch what you say: "You have to be a lot more guarded. I can't say everything I really want to say to all of you right now. The reality is you have to be a lot more systematic in what you say and how you say it internally or externally. I mean, we live in a terrarium today. We live in a glass bottle."Big brands are pulling back on Pride merchandise and events this year MMCorporate America Pulls Back from PRIDE in 2025, No Rainbow Logos from Big Brands as June StartsUnitedHealth Group AGM:94% average director support93% Stephen HemsleyHemsley is stepping forward to acknowledge the fallout and chart a new course, promising a comprehensive review of some of the company's most controversial practices.The Wall Street Journal noted in its report on the company's annual shareholder meeting on Monday that Hemsley apologized for UnitedHealth's recent performance and cited a need to rethink many internal processes.99% for directors like Paul Garcia (2021/ former CEO of Global Payments) and Kristen Gil (2022/former VP, Business Finance Officer at Alphabet)92% for Michele Hooper (2007/Lead Independent Director/CEO of The Directors' Council, a private company she co-founded in 2003 that works with corporate boards to increase their independence, effectiveness and diversity)-12% gender influence gap/only 3 women/zero committee chairs)Lowest vote is John Noseworthy, M.D. (86%) former CEO of the Mayo Clinic40% NO on PaySHP excessive golden parachutes 13% YESThe board authorized the payment of a cash dividend of $2.21 per share, up from the prior dividend of $2.10, to be paid June 24 to common stock shareholders of record as of the close of business June 16Hemsley: as of the proxy date: $2.8M (as of 5/16: $3.8M)The previous dividend was $2.10 per share, paid on March 18, 2025The company also suspended its 2025 outlook.Goodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: The Trump EPA tried to bury some good newsA climate report acquired by a Freedom of Information Act request shows that U.S. climate pollution declined in 2023.The EPA report documents that in 2023, U.S. climate pollution fell by 2.3%. That's about 147 million metric tons, or MMT, of reduced carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gases.2023 was the first full year after President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, the Democrats' signature climate law that committed hundreds of billions of dollars to reducing climate pollution.DR: How a Peruvian farmer's legal defeat raised new risks for companies DRPeruvian farmer Saúl Luciano Lliuya filed a lawsuit against German energy company RWE, asserting that the company's greenhouse gas emissions contributed to the melting of glaciers near his hometown of Huaraz, Peru.This glacial melt increases the risk of flooding from Lake Palcacocha, threatening his community. Lliuya sought approximately $17,500 from RWE, representing 0.47% of the estimated $4 million needed for flood defenses, corresponding to RWE's estimated share of global emissions since the industrial era began. On May 28, 2025, the Higher Regional Court in Hamm, Germany, dismissed Lliuya's lawsuit. The court acknowledged the legal principle that major greenhouse gas emitters can be held liable for climate-related damages. However, it concluded that the specific threat to Lliuya's property was not sufficiently imminent to warrant compensation. While Lliuya did not secure the compensation sought, the court's recognition of potential corporate liability for climate damages sets a precedent. This acknowledgment may influence future climate litigation, encouraging individuals and communities to hold major emitters accountable for their contributions to climate change.MM: HahahahahahahahahaMusk says SpaceX will decommission Dragon spacecraft after Trump threatElon Musk Melts Down, Claims Trump Is In The "Epstein Files" and That's the Reason They Haven't Been ReleasedElon Musk Declares That He's "Immediately" Cutting Off NASA's Access to SpaceMusk Privately Complaining That His Immense Donations to Trump Didn't Even Buy Him Control of NASAElon Musk claims ‘without me, Trump would have lost the election'Assholiest of the Week (MM): Proxy advisorsZevra TherapeuticsISS added, “...the board's concerns about having a former CEO on the board and potential disruption are valid.”Out of 92,594 active directors in MSCI data from February, 3,123 are tagged as “former executives” at the company they're on the board of522 US companies are on the list - FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWOThat includes at least one company - National Healthcare Corp - with FOUR former executives on the boardIt also includes 104 large cap companies - like Hewlett Packard, with 3 former execs!Glass Lewis highlighted, “Mr. Regan has limited, dated, and unrelated public board service,”Egan-Jones also questioned the relevant expertise of Mangless' nominees, stating, “…we do not believe Mr. Regan's background in proxy solicitation offers meaningful value in the context of Zevra's boardroom.”Unrelated public board experience??

This week, Felix and Tyler unpack the unraveling Trump–Elon alliance as a microcosm of fiscal denial, explore the slow death of austerity, and discuss why endless debt and political gridlock may actually be bullish. They dive deep into the brewing housing market crack, the quiet rise of crypto IPOs like Circle, and the generational shift from TradFi despair to crypto optimism. Plus, reflections on Larry Fink's globalization rebrand, market structure flows holding up equities, and more.

World leaders from Ukraine to Germany, the UK, France, and the U.S., are being caught with drugs of one sort or another. From cocaine to the recent report that Elon Musk, though he denies it, was nearly overdosing on ketamine, adderall, ecstasy and psychedelics during the campaign trail and after. The same has been reported of the WEF at Davos, people obsessed with magic mushrooms and hookers. Beyond the obvious motif of wealthy people splurging on carnal delights, there may be something darker at work, especially when considering that for years there has been speculation that the UN's own Meditation Room was actually a space for channeling sessions with spirits. The lore of Vril, dating to before WWII, involves a psychic energy used by an alien race - in occult lore the Vril were a society contacting aliens and spirits to obtain assistance in technological development. The term was originally coined by Edward Bulwer-Lytton in his 1871 novel ‘The Coming Race'. The techno-term “algorithm,” based on Persian mathematics, is itself connected to the Demon Star ALGOL, also known as a Demon's Eye. This “eye” plays a significant role in both fiction and modern technology.  Since 2025 began we have seen the full scale implementation of STARGATE, a program to develop gene-altering cancer shots (preceding the HHS-NIH announcement of universal flu and covid shots), and now recent contracts signed by PALANTIR by the Trump administration to create an all-knowing database of information on more than just American citizens. Itself followed up by a $795-million contract between the DOD and Palantir. STARGATE involves, of peculiar interest, OpenAI (to open an eye), Oracle (a prophet who can see beyond time), and Nvidia (the evil eye). The first company is run by Sam Altman, whose name means in Hebrew “name of the old God,” and Samael (the Talmudic archangel of seduction, accusation, and destruction) ‘altering-man'; whose recent announcement involves a device called ORB that verifies humans via iris scans and then gives them a WORLD ID / DIGITAL PASSPORT, WORLDCOIN GLOBAL CURRENCY, and UBI or Universal Basic Income; the scan verifies human-carbon, i.e., 666.  The second company is run by Larry Ellison, whose name means in Hebrew “light of my God Yahweh,” or “victory of the son of Elohim.” The third company is named after the seven deadly sins and the poison of the evil eye. PALANTIR was officially established by a guy “obsessed with warding of death... with a young person's blood,” Peter Thiel, whose name means “stone of the valley/below/abyss.” Alongside these technocrats are Yuval Harari, whose name means in Hebrew “streaming from the mountain,” and Elon Musk, whose X-AI, GROK, is named after a fictional martian language that means to “understand deeply,” from Robert Heinlein's ‘Stranger in a Strange Land'; its logo is the planet Saturn, god of time. Elon is also the name of a technologically advanced alien leader on the martian planet in the book ‘Mars: A Technical Tale', written by NASA father Wernher Von Braun. PALANTIR itself is named after palantír from Lord of the Rings (Saturn), a seeing-stone-crystal sphere used for communication and intelligence gathering. It is also where the Eye of Sauron was able to keep his eye on Middle Earth. Thiel is also co-founder of Rivendell 7 and Mithril Capital, both named after LOTR, the latter of which is a mythical elvish city. This is the same Thiel who fueled the rise of JD Vance into the White House, the now VP to POTUS Trump who just signed a deal with PALANTIR and who is assisting in pushing Musk's electric cars. Altman, Ellison, Harari, even Elon Musk “aspirationally,” are Jewish, with questions about Thiel's actual background speculated upon. The same is true for Larry Fink of BLACKROCK, Stephen Schwarzman of BLACKSTONE, Dan Zorella and Avi Yanus of BLACK CUBE, and even the general BLACKBOX AI that nobody seems able to comprehend even if they helped build it - Ellison says it is mostly coming from Israel and Tel Aviv. This is the same black cube that Jews wear and Muslims walk around, with black stone, in their holy city. PALANTIR'S history is peculiar too, not just its name. Peter Thiel started the company officially soon after 911 by using PayPal security algorithms. It was founded in May 2003, the same month and year that the US Information Awareness Office and DARPA renamed their Total Information Awareness program to Terrorism Information Awareness, and a few months before in September Congress pulled funding. The blueprint for this post-911 world, PNAC, was written by William Kristol and Robert Kagan, and the Patriot Act was co-authored by Michael Chertoff, former homeland security head, who helped sell body scanners to airports. All three of these men are jewish. As for PALANTIR, besides Thiel, Alex Karp and Stephen Cohen are major jewish founders alongside Joe Lonsdale and Nathan Gettings, the former of which had one of the least official roles. According to the Electronic Privacy Information Center writing about TIA: “Congress eliminated funding for the controversial project and closed the Pentagon's Information Awareness Office, which had developed TIA. This does not, however, necessarily signal the end of other government data-mining initiatives that are similar to TIA.”What was a DARPA-CIA-NSA-USIAO plan to “track individuals through collecting as much information about them as possible and using computer algorithms and human analysis to detect potential activity,” suddenly became PALANTIR unofficially, even though both the NSA and PALANTIR both ran a PRISM program - a program we learned about from Edward Snowden in June 2013, just 3 months before Katy Perry released her first “dark” album called PRISM. The goal of PRISM was to retrieve data directly from Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple. And what is a prism but a three-dimensional solid shape; a polyhedron like a cube; a glass device that breaks down white light.Beyond data acquisition, the goal was techno-super-natural: “understand and even preempt' future action,” wrote the New York Times. The NYT reported that conveniently PALANTIR “secured an estimated $2 million from In-Q-Tel, a venture-capital firm that finances the development of technologies that can help the C.I.A.” That's the same In-Q-Tel where, at one of their conferences, David Petraeus, former CIA director, said that the Internet of PCs and Things “are learning to perceive - to actually sense and respond.” Soon after we saw the emergence of Q-Anon, a Self Organizing Collective Intelligence, which today with AI-models trained on human data, are convincing people they are unlocking the secrets and conspiracies of the universe and becoming prophets. As per a recent Rolling Stone article, “Self-styled prophets are claiming they have 'awakened' chatbots and accessed the secrets of the universe through ChatGPT.”FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKYOUTUBEMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable Paypal email rdgable1991@gmail.comEMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.

A mysterious sphere was seen in the sky over the Columbian city of Buga back in march, 2025, before being recovered on the ground. It has sparked considerable debate due to both its mysterious origin and a series of archaic and archetypical symbols etched on its surface. Researchers have translated the symbols via AI to the following: “The origin of birth through union and energy in the cycle of transformation, meeting point of unity, expansion, and consciousness — individual consciousness.” Those researchers then gave their interpretation of the message: “We interpret it as a message to humanity, encouraging a collective shift in consciousness to help Mother Earth — especially considering the current issues with pollution and environmental decline.”According to Dr Julia Mossbridge, cognitive neuroscientist, “The sphere itself seems kind of like an art project… If an artist is doing this, why is that? Well, I think it's partly the same reason. It's because we're learning that we don't understand what's in our skies or our waters. And there's something going on that's essentially bigger than us.”One of the men who found the sphere, named only as Jose, felt sick for days after touching the orb: “When I poured water on it, it started to smoke, and the water vaporized instantly,” he added. What we have here is an old story, one that is rooted in both collective mythology and UFO legend. Roswell, Kecksburg, and Rendlesham lore maintain mysterious symbols on the craft, Roswell famously had metal that couldn't be altered and had mystical powers, the Flatwoods monster case involved a family and dog becoming sick, and the core reasoning of countless UFO abductions and “alien” interactions involve warnings over pollution and environmentalism.  The spherical shape of the Buga object is both an archetypical UFO and a traditional symbol of the soul. Back in April, 1974, the Betz family found a mysterious sphere near their home on Fort George Island, Florida. Slightly smaller than a bowling ball but weighing about 30lbs, it was strongly affected by solar radiation. Researchers from Louisiana “found radio waves coming from it and a magnetic field around it,” and the US Navy's attempt to x-ray the sphere initially failed because the “machine wasn't strong enough to penetrate the steel.” It was determined later the sphere was of human origin. In Coast Rica there are hundreds of stone spheres, while metallic microspheres have been reported in crop circles. South African miners also found in the 1970s spherical objects ranging in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters. The Klerksdorp, Africa, spheres have also been found in Czech Republic and Cost Rica. While some argue they are geological in nature, others speculate they are artificial, which is shocking because they date to 2.8 billion years ago.  While on the subject of the spherical archetype, there is Sam Altman's (OpenAI) new ORB device: Time reports: “Stare into the heart of the plastic-and-silicon globe and it will map the unique furrows and ciliary zones of your iris. Seconds later, you'll receive inviolable proof of your humanity: a 12,800-digit binary number, known as an iris code, sent to an app on your phone. At the same time, a packet of cryptocurrency called Worldcoin, worth approximately $42, will be transferred to your digital wallet—your reward for becoming a ‘verified human'.”By scanning the iris, the ORB can determine your humanity, which is ultimately based on 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons, i.e., carbon - the mark of the beast. Built by Tools for Humanity, “It aims to verify 50 million people by the end of 2025; ultimately its goal is to sign up every single human being on the planet. The free crypto serves as both an incentive for users to sign up, and also an entry point into what the company hopes will become the world's largest financial network, through which it believes ‘double-digit percentages of the global economy' will eventually flow.” Why do they need to be verified? Because Altman and TFH believe that incoming “AI AGENTS” will make it impossible to verify what or who is real. The ORB will be installed at gas stations and stores across the USA first, incentivized by free cryptocurrency and facilitating/issuing both a WORLD CURRENCY called Worldcoin and a “WORLD ID,” while providing for a “universal basic income (UBI).” Your identity will be based on the scanning of your “unique furrows and ciliary zones of your iris.” In other words, the gateway to your soul will be captured and used as a “mark” of your humanity. Without it, it's not just that you won't be able to “buy or sell,” you won't even be classified a HUMAN. Images of this “orb” from Time Magazine show the device resting in front of a black and white background, reminiscent of the masonic floor, while the device itself is an artificial all-seeing eye. Elon Musk works in league with Yuval Harari, Sam Altman, and Larry Ellison, the latter two behind the Stargate Project, rushing to gather data for gene specific injections to change DNA. Their names are very telling in Hebrew: Yuval Harari means “streaming from the mountain”; Sam Altman means “name of the old God” and also “Samael, the seducer and accuser” “altering man”; and Larry Ellison means “light of my God Yahweh,” or “victory of the son of Elohim.” Take the names of their companies too: OpenAI, Oracle, and Nvidia (associated with the evil eye). Take Musk's X platform AI called Grok, whose logo is the eye of Saturn. The sons of Elohim are those who have a covenant with (A) God and are selected to be the rulers of planet earth. It now makes perfect sense why Israel is the central leader of this technology; why the black cube is central in artificial intelligence development, including MIT's use of the image, and blackbox AI; and why Jews wear them on their heads or why Muslims walk around one seven times. Think about the shadowy Israeli firm Black Cube or the Larry Fink run BlackRock, not to mention the mostly Israeli Black Box AI. The square is the world and the sphere is the soul-spirit. If the humanity can be reduced to raw energy and data via an artificial spherical device, that scans the gateway, then rather than the soul-spirit inhabiting a body the body will be plugged into the black cube and only carnal urges will remain. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

After two years of full steam ahead for U.S. equity markets, 2025 has so far featured a number of speed bumps and even a few U-turns for some key areas of the market.

It's been quite a ride for equity markets this year. Uncertainty and volatility hit a fever pitch in the weeks following President Trump's sweeping tariff announcement in April as investors feared the potential for rising inflation, slow economic growth, and US assets, losing their aura of dominance. Tony DeSpirito, global CIO for BlackRock's Fundamental Equities Group, joins host Oscar Pulido to help make sense of recent market turmoil from an equity perspective where he sees opportunities amidst the volatility and what history tells us to expect as we look ahead to the rest of the year.Sources: Equity Market Outlook Q2 2025, BlackRock; BlackRock Fundamental Equities, with data from Morningstar & Bloomberg as of April 30, 2025;Check out the full series covering tariffs and market volatility on The Bid: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3iiZbbNz3eI08zXGZ4n3LI?si=TNiOrYRoSxyXVsbwsBs68QKey moments in this episode:00:00 Stock Market Turmoil and Recovery01:22 Tony DeSpirito Gives His Q2 Outlook04:15 Historical Equity Markets Volatility06:53 Where Equity Opportunities in Volatile Markets Lie12:55 Global Market Comparisons17:34 Final Thoughts and Investor Considerations

La semana pasada Donald Trump realizó la primera gira internacional de su segundo mandato. Visitó Arabia Saudí, Qatar y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Este viaje, centrado en acuerdos comerciales y asuntos geopolíticos de primer nivel como la cuestión de Siria, supone un punto de inflexión en tanto que Trump se mostró dispuesto a dialogar. Algo llamativo ya que, al menos en este ámbito, su postura es realista y libre de los maximalismos de su primer trimestre en el cargo. De forma un tanto sorprendente dejó a Israel en un segundo plano. Lo que no fue sorprendente en absoluto fue su silencio por el respeto a los derechos humanos en aquella región, pero eso ya estaba previsto y es coherente con lo que ya hizo en su primer mandato. El periplo comenzó en Riad, donde Trump fue recibido por el príncipe heredero Mohammed bin Salman. Arabia Saudí comprometió 600.000 millones de dólares en inversiones en EEUU enfocadas en defensa, tecnología y energía. Un foro de inversión reunió a líderes empresariales como Larry Fink de BlackRock y Jane Fraser de Citigroup, subrayando la importancia que el presidente dio al apartado económico de la gira. En Riad se reunió con el presidente interino sirio, Ahmed al-Sharaa, en un encuentro histórico. Anunció el levantamiento de sanciones a Siria para impulsar su estabilización tras la caída de Bashar al-Assad. Esta decisión, respaldada por Arabia Saudí y Qatar, fue elogiada por las cancillerías europeas, pero criticada por Israel, que considera a al-Sharaa un exyihadista. En Doha Trump fue agasajado por el emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. Qatar firmó acuerdos por 243.000 millones de dólares que incluyen la adquisición de más de 200 aviones Boeing. Desde la base aérea Al Udeid, la mayor instalación militar estadounidense en Oriente Medio, Trump reiteró su prioridad de “terminar conflictos, no iniciarlos”, aunque advirtió que no dudaría en usar el poder militar si fuera necesario. Propuso una “zona de libertad” en Gaza, un concepto vago que ha generado infinidad de especulaciones, pero evitó hablar de la guerra aún en curso en la franja. La gira culminó en Abu Dabi, donde el Gobierno de los Emiratos anunció una inversión de 440.000 millones de dólares en el sector energético estadounidense a lo largo de la próxima década. Trump visitó la Gran Mezquita y la Casa de la Familia Abrahámica tratando de proyectar una imagen de cooperación cultural. Poco antes, en su discurso en Riad, condenó el intervencionismo estadounidense del pasado, y eso fue bien recibido entre los líderes políticos del golfo Pérsico, pero alarmó a defensores de los derechos humanos. Un aspecto notable fue la exclusión de Israel del itinerario, lo que revela que hay tensiones latentes con su primer ministro, Benjamin Netanyahu. Trump ignoró las objeciones israelíes para levantar las sanciones a Siria y negociar con Hamás con el objetivo de liberar al rehén estadounidense Edan Alexander. Todo de forma directa y dejando a un lado a los israelíes. Además, avanzó que quiere reiniciar las conversaciones nucleares con Irán mediadas por Omán, lo que ha provocado nuevas fricciones con Israel, que teme un acuerdo favorable a Teherán. La gira, salteada por una serie de aciertos, supone el regreso al pragmatismo que caracterizó a su primer mandato, más centrado en la estabilidad económica que en decisiones rupturistas y problemáticas como la guerra comercial contra todo el mundo.

Two explosive commentaries unravel the real story behind Donald Trump's high-profile visit to Saudi Arabia—an audacious display of American power, flanked by tech and finance titans like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and Larry Fink. Far from symbolic, the trip marks a pivotal shift in U.S. foreign policy aimed at countering China's growing influence over energy and AI in the Gulf region. Meanwhile, mainstream media narratives collapse under scrutiny as financial doomsayers are proven wrong: inflation cools, markets rebound, and confidence surges. This is a deep dive into the geopolitical chess match where AI, oil, and currency supremacy are the ultimate prizes—and Trump is going all-in.

Founder and Publisher Daniel Power started powerHouse Books in 1995, and was joined by Craig Cohen in 1996. The early years had Power and Cohen tag-teaming on a few books at a time, raising the bar each season when, in 1998, PowerHouse Books had its first best-seller, Women Before 10 A.M. by Véronique Vial. Power and Cohen followed up on that success in 1999 with the critically acclaimed cult monographs X-Ray by François Nars and Life is Paradise by Francesco Clemente and Vincent Katz. In 2000, Cohen became a partner in the company, assuming the title of Vice President and Associate Publisher, serving as Executive Publisher between 2008 and 2019. He quickly signed up for the next company bestseller, Back in the Days by Jamel Shabazz, and in the same year, he developed a packaging deal with Capitol Records to produce the Beastie Boys Anthology: The Sounds of Science. With the publishing program growing rapidly, Power and Cohen hired Sara Rosen, who served as Publicity Director from 2000 to 2009. Since then, the company has redefined the cultural landscape of the illustrated book, becoming the only U.S. independent publishing company to do so. He collaborated with photographer Larry Fink on the latter's posthumous retrospective monograph, Larry Fink: Hands On / A Passionate Life of Looking.
