The appointment of Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, as interim co-chairman of the World Economic Forum represents far more than a routine leadership transition. It marks the consolidation of unprecedented financial power within the world’s most influential globalist organization, creating conflicts of interest so profound they validate the darkest warnings of conspiracy theorists while simultaneously advancing the very agenda they predicted.

On August 15, 2025, the WEF announced that Fink, who commands over $10.6 trillion in assets through BlackRock, would assume interim leadership alongside André Hoffmann of Roche Holding.
