BlackRock: the Company That Controls* the World's Governments
BlackRock, Inc. (sometimes called simply BlackRock), is an American multinational investment company based in New York City. Founded in 1988, initially as an enterprise risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with US$9.42 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2023.[2] BlackRock operates globally with 70 offices in 30 countries, and clients in 100 countries.[1] BlackRock is the manager of the iShares group of exchange-traded funds, and along with The Vanguard Group and State Street, it is considered to be one of the Big Three index fund managers.[3][4] Its Aladdin software keeps track of investment portfolios for many major financial institutions and its BlackRock Solutions division provides financial risk management services.[5] BlackRock is ranked 184th on the Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by revenue.[6]
BlackRock has sought to position itself as an industry leader in environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). It has been criticized by some for investing in companies that are involved in fossil fuels, the arms industry, the People's Liberation Army and human rights violations in China. Others have scrutinized BlackRock for its efforts to reduce its investments in companies that have been accused of contributing to climate change and gun violence and its promotion of gender diversity; the U.S. states of West Virginia, Florida, and Louisiana have divested money away from or refuse to do business with the firm because of its ESG policies. The company has also faced criticism for its close ties with the Federal Reserve during the COVID-19 pandemic and for anti-competitive practices due to its significant ownership stakes in many companies.

America Is Not Europe.
This is the most American-centric video I think I will make a in long time.
I am not trying to claim that these differences between the United States and Europe are the most relevant (consumption tax and inequality overall, education financing, coddling of Americans, and the political system generally), or that these are the only differences that exist.
I made this video mainly because I've always felt that Americans and Europeans both engage in just looking at each other and thinking there are these simple differences that could be tweaked easily, and I just think that's far from the case. There are a lot of large and relevant differences between the two regions.
Also, this video engages in a bunch of generalizations, and there are enough relevant differences between 'East' and 'Western' Europe already not even including the differences with the US. That being said, I wouldn't be making this channel if I didn't think there were more similarities between Europeans that we would care to admit.

Covid-19, Vaccination and risks of Myocarditis
Studies suggest that upto 18% of patients who are hospitalised with COVID-19 have evidence of myocardial injury as measured by elevated Troponins ie they have evidence of a myocarditis. Remember this is 18% of hospitalised patients i.e patients who by definition have a more severe form of infection. There are some data to give us a guide as to how common myocarditis is in the whole population of patients who get COVID and there was a study looking at younger patients and they estimated that the incidence was about 500 cases per million patients in the age group of 12-19 years. This equates to a percentage of 0.05. I am sure these are not completely accurate data but these are the data that we have. There was another study that looked at 1597 athletes and they concluded that based on symptoms, the incidence of myocarditis was 0.31% and if you used MRI scanning then upto 2.3% of these patients had myocarditis. In 40% of these patients the myocarditis had completely resolved on repeat imaging within 4-10 weeks.
Can the vaccines cause myocarditis?
There is some suggestion that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may be associated with a slightly higher incidence of myocarditis. As these particular vaccines have been used extensively in the US and Israel most of the data comes from these countries.
In the USA, 296 million doses of thes mRNA vaccines have been given (by June 2021) and there were 1226 reports of myocarditis after vaccination. In the US they clumped myocarditis, pericarditis and myopericarditis under the term myocarditis. In those patients, the medican age was 26 years and the time to onset was a median of 3 days after vaccination.
In Israel, over a 6 month period there were 148 reports of myocarditis with about 5 million vaccinations. Again the incidence was higher in young males and usually after the second dose.
In the UK, there have been 149 cases of myocarditis and 129 reports of pericarditis with the Pfizer vaccine. 82 reports of myocarditis and 140 reports of pericarditis with AZ abd 25 reports of myocarditis and 22 reports of pericarditis with the Moderna vaccine
Overall rates are
4.3 cases/million doses of myocarditis and 3.8 cases per million of pericarditis with Pfizer; 1.7/million doses of myocarditis and 3.0/million of pericarditis with AZ and 14.7/million doses of myocarditis and 13.0/million dose of pericarditis with Moderna.
What is the outcome of vaccine associated myocarditis?
There was an analysis of the patients in the US and they found that 96% of these patients with myocarditis had to be hospitalised but fortunately there were no deaths. However there were in the Europea economic area 5 deaths were reported but in generally older patients with more comorbidities.
The general consensus is that the prognosis is good. But we need to study patients over a longer period of time to understand if there are any issues with regards to an increased incidence of heart failure or heart rhythm disorders.
What does all this mean?
The data should not dissuade anyone who is considering the vaccine to have it. In fact it is estimated that the risks of developing myocarditis from COVID itself is about 5x greater than from the vaccine. However if you develop symptoms of chest pain, breathlessness or palpitations within 2 weeks of receiving the vaccine then it is important to seek medical advice and have an ECG, blood tests for Troponin and an echocardiogram.

Dr Phil is Blown Away By Conservative On Cultural Appropriation
Cultural appropriation, to many, means people with a privileged status taking cultural identity markers without permission or without acknowledgment from members of a minority community. This can include language, art, music, literature, clothing, food, beauty standards/traditions, social norms, customs, and values. So, does that mean that a Caucasian person can never own a Chinese restaurant? Can a Latino wear braids or locks? Should children never wear Halloween costumes that depict another culture, ethnicity or race? When does admiration turn into appropriation, and is the argument against appropriation just? Does the anti-appropriation movement ever turn into a form of racism? Meet a young woman who says she received death threats for wearing a dress from another culture, a woman who says she was called out for cosplaying a Japanese anime character, and a woman who says people need to stop stealing other cultures' foods and calling them their own. Dr. Neal Lester, foundation professor of English at Arizona State University, Brittany Collins, influencer and business owner, and Amala Ekpunobi, PragerU personality and host of the podcast Unapologetic LIVE, join Dr. Phil for a passionate debate.

What Is The Great Reset?
The Great Reset” began trending on Twitter after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the pandemic had provided an “opportunity for a reset.
“This pandemic has provided an opportunity for a reset – this is our chance to accelerate our pre-pandemic efforts to re-imagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality and climate change,” he added.
The World Economic Forum's Great Reset initiative is picking up steam on Twitter. The Great Reset is basically the organization's plan to impose socialism on the world, and the World Economic Forum wants to use the pandemic as a reason to do so.
So What is “the Great Reset”?

Forget the Great Reset. Embrace the Great Escape.
"The coronavirus pandemic has no parallel in modern history. It is our defining moment."
Those are the words of Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum (WEF), in COVID-19: The Great Reset, the 2020 book he co-authored with Thierry Malleret.
"Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal," they write in the book's introduction. "The short response is: never."
At the latest WEF meeting in Davos, Switzerland, this January, Schwab set the tone for the conference with his glowing introduction of the opening speaker: Xi Jinping, China's president and chairman of the Chinese Communist Party
"Major economies should see the world as one community… and should coordinate the objectives, intensity, and pace of fiscal and monetary policies," said Xi in his address to the WEF.
This vision of a united globe with a coordinated economy managed by experts captures Schwab's vision of the post-COVID world. "We have to redefine the social contract," said Schwab at a 2020 WEF book launch event for The Great Reset.
These grand proclamations, the ominous book title, and Schwab's odd personal style have led many people to speculate that the "great reset" is part of a conspiracy of global financial elites and politicians to depopulate the planet so that they can more easily institute one-world government, or even that COVID was engineered to that end.
I don't buy it. Far-reaching, global conspiracies require levels of coordination and shared purpose likely to be quickly exposed and fall apart, especially in the networked age. Instead of spinning our wheels searching for a secret agenda, take a look at the one right out in the open.
"I think we are moving from short-term to long-term, from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism," said Schwab at his 2020 book event.
What Xi, the WEF, and people like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) have in common is that they favor so-called stakeholder capitalism, which is a euphemism for making companies answer first to special interests. They want to reorganize corporate boards to include representatives from labor, environmental, and social justice groups. Warren proposed a bill to require 40 percent of large corporate board seats be elected by workers. In China, the state simply owns or controls a majority stake in most of the country's largest firms.
