There is one AI that has a monopoly on Wall Street, is now more powerful than politics, and is buying up every asset in the world at a faster rate than ever before. 

. Aladdin is actually a network composed of 50 supercomputers that now manages a whopping $21 trillion in assets, which is more than the GDP of every country on earth except the US and China. 

And it does so with very little human intervention. What's even more alarming is Aladdin now tracks everything in our lives, from what we buy to what we eat and even our bank transactions. 

And yet most of us don't even know it exists. 

Most importantly, I believe Aladdin may be the secret weapon the elite few are using to control more of our lives every day, leaving us with less money, property, and freedom. 

The story about where Aladdin came from and how it got so powerful is one of the most 

. Aladdin is the brainchild of BlackRock founder Larry Fink, which is the largest shadow bank in the world and the most powerful company on Earth. 

Larry got his start on Wall Street back in the 80s, where he was working at First Boston Bank helping pioneer mortgage backed securities. 

This is where they would package thousands and thousands of mortgages together and sell them to investors as a reliable source of passive income. And he was making a killing. And yes, these are the same mortgage backed securities that 20 years later led to the 2008 global financial crisis. So Larry was making millions and millions a year, and he reportedly even made First Boston over a billion dollars back then. That is, until one fateful day, Larry misjudged the Fed cutting interest rates, causing the value of these mortgages to take a dive. 

He said: "When you started having those types of successes, the firm gives you more capital. We were taking bigger and bigger risks without the technology to navigate and calculate that risk. And in the second quarter, 1986, we lost $100 million." 

This loss was so humiliating to Larry, he vowed to never let it happen again. 

After quitting First Boston a couple years later, he went on to found BlackRock. And what he did brilliantly is instead of treating technology as second to asset managers and traders, like everyone else on Wall Street was doing at the time, he created it as the foundation to his company, from which everything was built on top of. 

Asset Liability, Debt and Derivatives Investment Network"

 was started as a risk management software with a small team of programmers. 

The way Aladdin works is it runs what are called "

". It takes past data points like the ups and downs of the stock market, freak weather or natural disasters, political scandals, and so on, and it compares them to the current climate. 

Aladdin then creates a probability model and shifts BlackRock's wealth from the troubled assets to profitable ones. 

Also, keep in mind, having this type of computing power and Aladdin's autonomous nature, meaning it can act all on its own, almost guarantees it will stay ahead of the curve and make the right bets. 

As a matter of fact, in its first ten years, Aladdin became so intelligent and so good at picking winners and losers that Larry started selling access to it as a service to other Wall Street companies. 

And not just any companies, but massive conglomerates like GE and Walmart. And in order to properly help them manage their risk, Aladdin had to know all their inner workings, from their profits to their supply chains, everything...

With each new client, from Microsoft to Apple, HSBC to Amazon, Aladdin became more robust and more powerful, and it started 

Remember, Aladdin is like all software. The more data it has, the better it is at running simulations and predicting the future, giving it the ultimate leg up in every industry. 

In the mid 2000's, Larry Fink was invited to join the Council of Foreign Relations, where he solidified his government and global contacts, including Timothy Geithner, who would later go on to be the US Treasury Secretary. And then, boom. The 2008 global financial crisis hits. 

When the government had to bail out the too big to fail banks like AIG and Bear Stearns, timothy Geithner called in BlackRock as its secret weapon to clean up the mess, the same mess that was caused by mortgage backed securities in the first place. 

And as an expert on mortgage backed securities, he was called in to help and to clean up. With people like Hank Paulson and Jamie Diamond and Tim Geithner on speed dial, Larry Fink helped engineer a remarkable rescue for the financial industry. 

What Aladdin did was separate the toxic from the profitable assets. 

The profitable assets are sold back to companies BlackRock manages for pennies on the dollar. The toxic assets were then sold back to the taxpayers. 

And notice how Aladdin and BlackRock were perfectly positioned to profit off both sides of this. 

But we were told that no one saw the 2008 crisis coming. 

Is it possible that Aladdin, with its trillions of data points, and Larry Fink, with his expertise specifically in mortgage backed securities, didn't see this crash coming? 

Could they have predicted and secretly prepared for it ahead of time? 

I personally believe that the probability that Aladdin didn't sound the alarm over something like this is close to zero. 

Let's take it one step further. Here's another question: if there truly is an autonomous, all-knowing AI managing trillions of dollars on its own, how could Aladdin have possibly contributed to the careless and greedy environment that led to 2008? 

I think this is something that needs to be studied more. And furthermore, since markets are primarily run on human emotions, mainly fear and greed, if an AI has been toying with human emotions, doesn't that make Aladdin more of a social experiment than an asset management tool? 

I personally believe that Aladdin could be having the same effect on Wall Street bankers as TikTok and Instagram have been having on teenagers. And that is a terrifying thought. 

Fast forward to 2018. Aladdin is now managing around $6 trillion, and Larry Fink is invited to join the World Economic Forum board of directors. 

The 2020 pandemic hits, and BlackRock is again awarded a "no bid" 

, meaning no other company was even considered to help the Fed manage their $4 trillion of newly printed money. 

This is where I think things took a dark turn. Aladdin no longer needed to invest in profitable companies. It could just pump up its own price using borrowed money from the Fed. 

And today, Aladdin still manages the back end of the Federal Reserve, meaning it tracks and monitors every transaction. 

They make all of their data, and makes recommendations based on this. And this is why a lot of people refer to BlackRock as the fourth branch of government. 

So you're Larry Fink. In late 2020. You've just completed your second deal with the government. You're on the board of directors at the Council of Foreign Relations in the World Economic Forum. You have the most powerful company on Wall Street. You are truly in a class of your own. And this is what BlackRock decides to do: 

Keep in mind, BlackRock is not investing in Chinese companies on American exchanges. They are the only foreign owned company that is allowed to wholly operate in China's mutual fund industry. 

So, they're investing American pensions, your average firefighter, teacher, police officers, retirement into Chinese companies. And what companies? You may ask. Well, the worst ones imaginable into surveillance manufacturing companies. The two largest ones that are currently turning China into an open air prison into its own version of 1984. 

So my question is, what kind of deal did they have to make with China to make this possible? Are they now partners with the CCP?. 

I think these are very valid questions for us to all be asking. 

We've seen Aladdin grow in a few decades. From a simple program in BlackRock, to a small investment firm and into one of the largest conglomerates the world has ever seen. 

If you keep running this experiment even just a few years longer, the results are quite obvious. 

Playing against Aladdin is like playing Monopoly against a bank. 

And we've recently seen BlackRock and Aladdin start to take over other markets. They're buying up real estate and farmland. They want to own quite literally everything. 

The way I see it is the crypto community is the most passionate about setting up parallel systems, both in our personal lives and in our separate communities. 

This is one of the reasons I am so passionate about decentralized finance. And obviously, this is an ongoing discussion. It needs to happen in every industry.
