BlackRock Logo To Be Added To Ukrainian Flag by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Kyiv has announced the addition of a fifth corporate logo to the Ukrainian flag following news that BlackRock will be playing a crucial role in the reconstruction of the nation. The worlds largest investment management firm will join Raytheon Technologies, Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and McDonalds upon the now-omnipresent blue and yellow flag.
"I understand some Ukrainians may be frustrated at the continual additions to our nations glorious flag," Ukraines President Zelensky said during a speech announcing the change. "Just last month we added the Raytheon logo, and now we are adding BlackRock. I am sure it was a bit awkward for our United States of American friends as they were continually adding stars to their flag back when they were adding lots of new states to their republic, too."
"The only difference is instead of adding states, we are adding multinational megacorporations," the leader said.
Mr. Zelensky then took a large bite of a McDonalds Big Mac, saying, "Mmm mmm, I am lovin it!" in English, eliciting awkward applause throughout the Walt Disney Company Presidential Press Hall.
BlackRock to "rebuild" Ukraine. This is going to make the neoliberalism and privatization the United States inflicted on post-Soviet Russia look like childs play-Jordan (JordanChariton) December 28, 2022
Critics have complained that BlackRocks new role in Ukraine could draw accusations of corruption, with some noting that the the companys managing director Eric Van Nostrand was hired straight into a senior advisory position in the Biden administrations Treasury Department just this past August, explicitly to shape United States economic policy on Russia and Ukraine.
Others have noted that BlackRock is a top beneficial owner of shares in major arms manufacturers who are reaping immense profits from the war in Ukraine, with tens of billions invested in Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon.
These words of caution have however not been sufficient to dissuade the Ukrainian government from selling Ukraine piece by piece to western oligarchs like billionaire BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, and now one more giant corporation gets another slice of the nation.

We can expect more such deals to be signed by Kyiv, which is slated to be re-named Goldman Sachs City early next year.
