BlackRock Recruiter Claims Senators Can Be 'Bought' For $10k, War 'Good For Business': O'Keefe

[ZeroHedge] According to Varlay, US Senators can be 'bought' for as little as $10k.

"The senators…are f***ing cheap – you got 10 grand, you can buy a senator," he remarked.

You can take this big f*** ton of money and buy people, I work for a company called BlackRock…It’s not who is the president it’s who is controlling the wallet of the president. You could buy your candidates. First, there is the senators these guys are fuckin cheap. Got 10 grand you can buy a senator I’ll give you 500k right now It doesn’t matter who wins they’re in my pocket. -OMG

Blackrock is also apparently loving the war in Ukraine, which Varley described as "real fuckin' good for business."

Ukraine is good for business, you know that right? Russia blows up Ukraine’s grain silos and the price of wheat is going to go mad up. The Ukrainian economy is the wheat market. The price of bread goes up, this is fantastic if you’re trading. Volatility creates opportunity for profit…

According to Varley, it's "exciting when shit goes wrong."

"So what are you gonna do if you’re a trading firm? The moment that news hits, within a millisecond, you’re going to pump trades into whoever the wheat suppliers are. Into their stocks. Within an hour or two that stick goes f*cking up and then you sell and you just make, I don’t know, however many mil," he continued. "The Ukrainian economy is tied very largely to the wheat market, global wheat market, prices of bread, you know, literally everything goes up and down. This is fantastic if you’re trading.

"Volatility creates opportunity to make profit. War is real fucking good for business."

As the Post Millennial notes, Varley also described himself as a person who "decide[s] people's fates."

"Every f*cking day, I literally decide how somebody’s life is going to be shaped," he said. "I’m not actually a finance guy, I just know what happens because I’m recruiting people who do these things."

"Everyone works for somebody."

More via the PM:

Varlay said these banks run the world because "you acquire stuff. You diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring. You spend whatever you make in acquiring more. And at a certain point, your risk level is super low. Imagine you’ve invested in 10 different industries, from food to drinks to technology. If one of them fails it doesn’t matter, you have nine others to back you up."

Varlay said that once "you own a little bit of everything… you can take this big f*ck-ton of money and then you can start to buy people."

#1 "I’m not actually a finance guy, I just know what happens because I’m recruiting people who do these things."

In other words, this is a guy with no real access trying to impress a girl by claiming he has a seat at the grownups' table. Larry Fink does not say, "Yo, Sergei, my ace recruiter, come with me to DC so you can see me hand a fat stack of cash to a Senator!"

You diversify, you acquire, you keep acquiring. You spend whatever you make in acquiring more. And at a certain point, your risk level is super low.

OMG! Blackrock has a diversified investment portfolio. Who could have expected that! How devious!

#3 Reminds me of a story I heard in the late 80s or early 90s.

The Iranians weren't surprised at the fact our congressmen could be bribed. They were surprised at how cheap they were.

#4 I don’t think there is a set going price for Senators of $10k. There is a very few that I don’t think can be bought. Several are probably not available to new customers except for a premium price. You could think of them as specialist doctors that are not taking new patients. For me a better simile is a higher end call girl because there are definitely other politicians at the reverse end of the pricing spectrum. There is one guy that I have in mind that is definitely a lot lizard at the skeeziest truck stop on Earth. He seems to be jumping in a new cab to provide $20 services on a near continuing basis.
For this Black Rock scum bag $10k may be a median price, but it better be a monthly payment otherwise pricing is about to through the roof as the Biden news rolls in. $10k wouldn’t even buy a third share in a print of a Hunter Biden classic.

#5 Our Senators are too expensive to buy -- but they can be rented!
