It was the moment we were waiting for: one of the most hated men in the world going for a leisurely stroll because he assumed he was among friends. I’m talking about Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock, the investment bank managing more than $11 trillion.

BlackRock isn’t just rich and powerful. It’s political and radical. BlackRock invests in companies and then forces them to implement left-wing policies from environmentalism to transgenderism. It’s DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), but for corporations.

Larry Fink doesn’t just run his own company that way. He demands all the companies he owns shares in run that way. He forces them to be Woke.

Have you ever seen a journalist ask Fink a tough question? Especially at the World Economic Forum, where he’s a long-time director? Well, Fink didn’t count on Rebel News and our accountability style of citizen journalism. Today I walked right up to him and started asking him the questions that millions of people have surely been wondering for years. And a moment later, my colleague Avi Yemini joined in, making it a sort of walking press conference. And Fink couldn’t answer a single question.

Take a look for yourself:

You know, there are hundreds of “accredited” journalists here at the World Economic Forum — the biggest names in news, from CNN to the New York Times. But you have to understand — they’re all here as WEF members, not to hold the WEF to account.

They’re on BlackRock’s team. They would never ask Fink a tough question.I really don’t think he knew what hit him today. As you can see, his bodyguards tried shoving us away — but it didn’t work.

And then Fink did something really creepy: he took out his personal cellphone and took close-up pictures of me, Avi and our cameraman. I think it was some sort of threat: as in, “I’m rich and powerful, so I’m going to find out who you are, and destroy you.”

I’ve never seen a billionaire make a threat like that before. But if he thinks that thuggery will make us stop, he doesn’t know anything about Rebel News. We don’t bend the knee to anyone, including thin-skinned billionaire bullies. We ask tough questions of anyone. And frankly, Fink’s refusal to answer our legitimate questions spoke volumes. That’s what we’re doing every day here at the WEF’s big meeting in Davos, Switzerland.

Between Avi and me, we asked 70 questions. Everything we have been wanting to ask the BlackRock CEO for years.

If you think this kind of citizen journalism is valuable, we sure could use your help. We have been demonetized by YouTube — not surprising, given that BlackRock owns $83 billion worth of their stock. So, we have to survive through the support of our viewers. If you can help us crowdfund our trip to the World Economic Forum, please do. You can click here, or go to www.WEFReports.com. We’re keeping our costs down, but with three journalists and three cameramen, even modest costs can add up quickly.

This was one of the 200+ executive orders signed on Monday (US time). It means nothing new in the next 3 months although Blinken-Biden have arranged to send both of them billions of dollars which should be enough to satisfy them in that time. In December Donald Trump Jnr said the infamous Mr Z was “losing his allowance” so hopefully he won’t be getting any ‘moar mahney’.

Lost in all the excitement of inauguration day, and there was much to find exciting, was something Trump said in response to a question. He said he plans to release everything about JFK, Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King that is currently classified. He tried to release the JFK material in his first term, but was talked out of it for some reason, but now he seems committed to it and has now added the others.  His attorney general nominee pledged to release all the Epstein material.

Given how day one unfolded, it is safe to take Trump at his word. He seems to be sensitive this time to the fact that he got a reputation in his first term for big talk but little action, so on day one he delivered some controversial items. The pardoning of the J6 people without a lengthy review was a welcome surprise. The executive order on birthright citizenship was a stunner. If he is following through on these items, it seems reasonable to think he will follow through on the other items.

The question at the heart of all of these long-held secrets is why this information has been hidden from the public. The easiest one to answer is the Epstein material, which is going to include the names of his friends. Given the activity on that island, powerful people do not want their name attached to Epstein. It is possible that the FBI has been using this knowledge to blackmail people. The corruption in the FBI is so deep, you cannot rule it out.
