This piece argues that a few powerful financial firms, particularly BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street, are not merely investors but are consolidating control over various sectors, including housing, healthcare, and food, through diverse mechanisms beyond simple ownership, such as voting rights and ESG mandates. It suggests this process constitutes a new form of feudalism, driven by the convergence of money, data, and technology like BlackRock's Aladdin platform. The author contends this widespread corporate influence is spiritual in nature, representing a turn away from faith toward material and digital idols. The core message is a call for individuals to reject this corporate system and instead find spiritual refuge and build localized resilience, advocating for a return to religious devotion as a form of resistance.
