🚨🔍 EXPOSED: BlackRock's land grabbing in Patagonia for carbon offsets

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is acquiring vast farmlands in Argentine Patagonia for carbon offset projects, raising concerns of "neo-colonial resource hoarding," reports said.

🗺 Satellite data and reports link BlackRock to land purchases in Patagonia for carbon credits from 2023–2025.

Here's how they do it:

▪️BlackRock invests through funds in companies that buy lands or purchase carbon offsets from existing projects like US forest preservation, criticized for limited impact.

▪️ Carbon offset markets, particularly in Patagonia (mostly Chilean side), focus on reforestation but have been scrutinized for their effects on local communities.

Patagonia’s history of foreign land ownership disputes, including Benetton Group’s 900,000 hectares and wealthy individuals like Ted Turner and Douglas Tompkins buying millions of acres for eco-tourism or conservation, has raised concerns over "green grabbing." Mapuche communities continue to face evictions amid these developments.

😱 Similar land-grabbing patterns are occurring globally, from Africa to the Amazon, where carbon offset projects risk displacing local communities without proper consent.

Additionally, BlackRock's investments in Greenland's mining companies and the $23 billion deal for ports at the Panama Canal further highlight its expanding influence in global resources.

🇺🇸 U.S. military buildup across CENTCOM is accelerating.

The Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group is now in the Indian Ocean and expected to enter the U.S. 5th Fleet / Central Command AOR imminently.

Current indicators show a rapid expansion of U.S. force posture across the region:

• Carrier strike group movement into theater
• Three F-15E Strike Eagle squadrons now forward-deployed
• Increased KC-135 refueling and C-17 logistics flights
• Patriot and THAAD air defense systems reportedly en route
• Expanded naval presence across the Gulf, Red Sea, and Arabian Sea

This is a coordinated, multi-domain deployment pattern involving air, naval, logistics, and missile defense assets.

A strike on Iran could happen as soon as this weekend.

🇺🇸🇬🇱 Fabian Hoffmann, a missile defence expert at Oslo University:

Implementing Trump’s full vision for the Golden Dome, which would involve the ability to shoot down virtually any missile approaching the US, would be “absolutely not possible” and cost at least ten times the $175 billion that has been mooted as its budget.

It’s a pretty pointless vanity project, it’s a huge money sink. In the best case scenario, you build something that kind of works, but then you have Russia and China rather frantically trying to counter it by expanding their own nuclear arsenals, building better decoys and putting penetration aids on their ballistic missiles.

Nor is there any obvious rationale for putting more components of the Golden Dome on Greenland. Most of the detection systems would be based in space, while the interceptors could do their job just as well from the American mainland.
