How financiers control economies — Evan

Lot of people think companies like Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft are sovereign giants calling the shots because of their multi-trillion dollar valuations.

That’s not how it works.

At all.

It’s the financiers that call the shot.

Through proxy voting and board control, they set policy on dividends, ESG, executive pay, even mergers.

Apple, NVIDIA etc may look powerful, but they’re ultimately operators inside an index fund empire. They are constrained by semiconductor subsidies, export controls, and defense-linked AI/Chip contracts.

These CEO’s rely on JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, etc, for credit lines, bond issuance, and stock buybacks. This level of capital availability is political.

Tied to TPS interests.

Defense firms like Raytheon are structurally embedded in the MIC. Their demand is guaranteed by Pentagon budgets, not free markets.

Energy firms like Chevron are tied to FIC-MIC loops (petrodollar, US security guarantees).

The regulatory chokepoints that Trump loves to slap on US companies like export controls, antitrust threats, sanctions frameworks, making it look like he’s working for the people, is just a facade.

It’s all to simply remind firms that they’re licensed to operate within TPS rules.

The fact is that these companies are powerful at the operational level (deciding products, engineering, marketing) but subordinate at the strategic level (capital flows, bloc alignment, geopolitics).

Once a firm is swallowed by the TPS, it means financiers drive the decisions.

It means dependency on TPS-controlled capital markets (Wall Street debt, dollar clearing, global bond issuance).

It means firms must obey TPS bloc rules (export bans, ESG mandates, Pentagon procurement).

And it means cash must flow and be distributed outward to TPS financial circuits (dividends, buybacks, asset managers), not reinvested into sovereign/state projects.

Tech, Military, Consumer led companies don’t run the show.

Financiers do.

Global asset managers like BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, hold equity stakes across nearly all major corporations. They are the stabilizers.

The system backbone.

They provide passive stability through ETFs, index funds, pensions.

They influence via board voting, ESG, governance alignment.

Then you have the extractors.

Private Equity. Your Blackstone, KKR, Carlyle, Apollo, Bain.

These guys use leverage to buy companies outright, strip assets, restructure, resell.

They embed in critical sectors (healthcare, housing, defense suppliers) and function to extract and control industries, labor, and pricing.

PE firms and asset managers go hand in hand.

Then you have the shock absorbers. JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Barclays. These guys save the day with bailouts. They provide liquidity, credit lines, alter monetary/fiscal policy and underwrite both Asset Managers and PE deals.

They act as conduits between state (central banks) and TPS capital.

They are the buffer for economic turmoil, and transmit state bailouts into private capital.

These three groups make up the financial industrial complex.

Each feeds into each other and collectively control your tech, military, and consumer companies.
