Louisiana Pulls Treasury Funds from BlackRock, Warns ESG Investing Threatens ‘Economic Freedom and Individual Liberty’

The state of Louisiana is divesting its treasury funds from Larry Fink’s investment company BlackRock.

Louisiana’s Republican state treasurer John Schroder issued a warning that BlackRock’s “woke” Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) investing threatens Americans’ “economic freedom and individual liberty.”

In a letter to World Economic Forum member Fink, BlackRock’s chairman and CEO, Schroder noted that $560 million has already been divested and eventually $794 million will have been yanked out of the controversial firm.

“Your blatantly anti-fossil fuel policies would destroy Louisiana’s economy,” Schroder wrote.

“Therefore, Louisiana Treasury will liquidate all BlackRock investments by the end of 2022.

“To date, we have divested $560 million,” he noted.

“Once complete, this divestment will reflect $794 million no longer entangled in BlackRock money market funds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holdings.”

Schroder blasted Fink over the company’s focus on ESG investing.

“This divestment is necessary to protect Louisiana from actions and policies that would actively seek to hamstring our Fossil Fuel (which is Renewable Energy) sector,” the state treasurer wrote.

“In my opinion, your support of ESG investing is inconsistent with the best economic interests and values of Louisiana.

“I cannot support an institution that would deny our state the benefit of one of its most robust assets.

“Simply put, we cannot be party to the crippling of our own economy,” Schroder wrote.

“I’m convinced that ESG investing is more than bad business; it’s a threat to our founding principles: democracy, economic freedom, and individual liberty.

Now THIS should be pined.

And every US citizen should take this info to respective State governors, Lt Governors, State Comptroller, and State Congressional reps and Senators and demand the same.

There should be a national movement for this same action!

Indeed, it is. Long ago, GLPERS could be mobilized to flood Reps, Senators, Governor's, businesses phones and inboxes with citizen responses particularly regarding Liberty and calling people out for over-reach, and it was quite effective.

Today, GLPERS just sit and type...or so it seems. Someone else will do it.

We get what we put into it, and citizens are f@cking suck ass employers, I've learned.

Sad, really.

"Trust Us" advertising. Most take the money.

There's NO reason for BlackRock to advertise in TV commercials other than controlling the narrative.

Cuse me for a moment.Ms Zenobia...

currently i am down some rabbit holes and the War of 1812 and the slave trade. not through there...

you dig just a bit and the pieces of this part of the puzzle falls in place..and...

lol YOU DON'T EVEN WANNA KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON in fuckin louisiana.

LA is under Napoleonic Code. COMMOM LAW. Share and Share Alike with Disruption of Contracts. THE ONLY STATE ON THE UNION THAT THIS EXISTS.

THE SAME with CANADA. Again...NAPOLEONIC CODE legal system

Remember the Hudson Bay TRADING COMPANY? We oldsters were told about this in grammar school.

The Hudson Bay Trading Company of Canada(or facsimile thereof) is who OWNS The United States of America INCORPORATED. Which is owned by the British Crow of England (inc)...

Through which we Americans are granted a [birth(berth) certificate.]

So.....We are(were) [OWNED BY the british royal crow incorporated (currently is/was owned charles).]

[(who just signed our release)as free human beings ... he shit blood the other day while doing so..btw]

[(Royal Pedophylic debt payment)resolved]?

our [British Admiralty Law requirement(birth from mother's birthwater)berth certificate made illegal in England] ????

i see much needed tar, feathers, pitchforks and rails-for-royalty. which will be up to the English.


The entire FEDERAL RESERVE DEBT is being dumped into this same[black](Hole). to bounce to Canada..

Which will be handed off like a scalding hot potato from Canada. to the Crown of England.. never to be seen again.


LA is just getting it's cut first. 49 states to follow. Including the Mother of all Debts. The Federal Reserve.

this my own humble working theory until proven otherwise.

sorry for my caps and clumsy attempt at Q language
just trying to get some outlines of thoughts across
i know it sounds insane...
