Not every billionaire has sold his soul to Satan, but it is readily apparent that most of them have. This may be what Jesus Christ warned us about when he said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
I was pretty sure Warren Buffet was a wholly-owned Promethean from the moment he talked about not leaving his wealth to his kids. But his reported financial support for BLM seals the deal:
The
received wisdom, echoing the official mythology around Black Lives Matter
Global Network Inc.—co-founded by Garza along with fellow activists Opal Tometi
and Patrisse Cullors—is that BLM is a grassroots movement that rose up
organically out of the widespread rage sparked by viral videos of Black
American men killed by police officers. According to this account, the
political priorities of activists in Brooklyn screaming at cops and calling to
defund the police have been fused with those of suburban moms in Peloton
T-shirts, hand-painting signs with their kids using the BLM hashtags of large
multinational conglomerates—an unusual union of protesters and the corporate
boardroom spurred on by nothing more than everyone’s shared outrage over
racism.
There is, however, another version
of events, in which the heartfelt dedication to racial justice is only the
forward-facing side of a more complicated movement. Behind the street level
activism and emotional outpouring is a calculated machinery built by
establishment money and power that has seized on racial politics, in which some
of the biggest capitalists in the world are financially backing a group of
self-described “trained Marxists”—a label that Cullors enthusiastically applies
to herself and the group’s other co-founders.
These
bedfellows, whose stories and fortunes are never publicly presented as related,
are in reality intertwined under the umbrella of a fiscal sponsor named the
International Development Exchange. A modestly endowed West Coast nonprofit
with origins in the Peace Corps—which for decades supported local farmers,
shepherds, and agricultural workers across the Global South—IDEX has, in the
past six years, been transformed into two distinct new things: the
infrastructure back end to the Black Lives Matter organization in the United
States and also, at the very same time, an investment fund vehicle driven by
recruited MBAs and finance experts seeking to leverage decades of on-the-ground
grantee relationships for novel forms of potentially problematic lending
instruments . And it did so with help from the family of one of the most famous
American billionaires in history—the Oracle of Omaha himself.
Not every billionaire has sold his soul to Satan, but it is readily
apparent that most of them have. This may be what Jesus Christ warned us about
when he said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
It's not an accident that
they profit from evil and misfortune:
Billionaire wealth
reached record high levels amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a report by UBS and PwC
found, as a rally in stock prices and gains in technology and healthcare helped
the wealth of the world's richest break the $10 trillion mark. The report, covering
over 2,000 billionaires representing some 98% of the cohort's total wealth,
found billionaire wealth grew by more than a quarter during the early months of
the pandemic to reach $10.2 trillion in July, breaking the previous record of
$8.9 trillion at the end of 2019.
They don't produce
anything. They aren't providing capital to anything useful, or good, or
beautiful, or true. This isn't about capitalism or socialism, it's about evil
serving Evil.
