The documents were publicly accessed via the California Business Search database provided by the California Secretary of State.

BlackRock has been widely criticized for its promotion of Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) policies.
Since the emergence of the progress driven ESG movement, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a rule that requires companies to report climate risk data like emission levels, for example. In response, some states started to preemptively ban ESG scoring.
The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, refers to ESG scores as “stakeholder capitalism.”
Consumer Research exposed BlackRock in October 2021, when it showed the connections between the investment giant and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
According to the consumer advocacy group Consumers’ Research, BlackRock has been in collusion with the CCP for some time.
“No amount of woke posturing can hide what BlackRock is really up to. The idea that an American company is taking billions of dollars and using it to bet on China’s success is extremely concerning,” Consumers’ Research Executive Director, Will Hild said. “We cannot allow this to continue. Funneling Americans’ hard earned retirement savings to China is unsafe from both a national security and financial perspective.”
On October 10th, South Carolina State Treasurer Curtis Loftis (R-SC) made the announcement that The Palmetto State would divest 100 percent of its holdings from BlackRock by the end of the year.
Louisiana recently announced a divestment of $794 from Fink’s company and after Texas accused the business of “boycotting” energy companies the Lone Star State divested state pension funds from its holdings.
Thomas E. Donlion, the Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute, previously served as the National Security Advisor to then-President, Barack Obama.
