In a recent video released by journalist James O’Keefe, shocking revelations were made about BlackRock Inc. recruiter Serge Varlay.
The video exposed the company’s involvement in corrupt practices, bribery, and even manipulation of geopolitical conflicts such as the one between Russia and Ukraine.
As a result of the investigation, Varlay temporarily deleted his LinkedIn account, but it has since reappeared online.
Who is Serge Varlay?
For those unfamiliar, BlackRock Inc. is a global powerhouse in asset management.
They hold significant stakes in major companies such as Amazon, Microsoft, Anheuser Busch, Meta, Target, Proctor & Gamble, Comcast, CNN, Fox News, and Pfizer, among others.
During an interaction with a journalist from O’Keefe Media Group, Serge Varlay inadvertently disclosed some of the company’s well-kept secrets, shedding light on how BlackRock essentially wields immense influence over the world while remaining hidden from public scrutiny.
In one of his statements, Varlay revealed:
“They [BlackRock] don’t want to be in the news. They don’t want people to talk about them. They don’t want to be anywhere in the radar… I suspect it’s probably because it’s easier to do things when people aren’t thinking about it.”

Serge Varlay also explained how several banks, hedge funds and the company amongst others buy politicians. He said:
“You can buy your candidates… first, there’s the senators. These guys are f**king cheap. You got 10 grand? You can buy a senator. You got ten grand, you can buy a senator. I could give you $500K right now, no questions asked. Are you gonna do what needs to be done?… It doesn’t matter who wins, they’re in my pocket.”
In another segment of the video, Varlay delved into the topic of the Russia-Ukraine war and its financial implications.
He highlighted the profitability of the conflict by emphasizing the significant role Ukraine plays in global wheat production.
Varlay explained that the price of wheat would skyrocket due to the disruption caused by the war, stating:
“The price of bread, literally everything goes up and down, this is fantastic if you’re trading. Volatility creates business opportunity to make profit. War is real f**king good for business. It’s exciting when s**t goes wrong, right?”
Furthermore, Serge Varlay made a stunning claim that BlackRock manages a staggering “$20 trillion,” emphasizing the incomprehensible magnitude of this figure.
The exposé video quickly gained traction on social media, particularly Twitter, accumulating millions of views and sparking widespread interest and discussion online.
