BHP Strikes $2 Billion Deal with BlackRock-Owned Firm

While America’s economy stumbles under reckless spending and bloated bureaucracy, corporate power players are making moves that should alarm anyone paying attention. BHP, the world's largest mining company, just inked a $2 billion deal selling off nearly half of its Western Australia power network to Global Infrastructure Partners, a group now owned by none other than BlackRock.

This isn’t just a financial maneuver it's a massive play by global elites to seize control of the infrastructure powering one of the world's richest iron ore operations. And according to BHP CEO Mike Henry, this is just the beginning.

“This is the first of what I expect is ultimately going to be a series of similar deals,” Henry said, signaling a pipeline of asset sales aimed at “freeing up capital” and chasing higher returns.

Translation? Let BlackRock gobble up the physical systems that power our modern world while BHP redirects funds into speculative ventures like so-called “energy transition” projects. All this while American policymakers, especially under Biden, continue ignoring the global race for resource dominance.

Henry touted the company’s big push into copper, calling the metal “ubiquitous” and revealing it’s expected to see a 70% surge in demand over the next 25 years driven largely by the explosion of data centers and so-called green energy.

• BHP is currently the largest copper producer in the world.

• Copper demand is expected to grow by 70% by 2050, fueled by electric grids, EVs, and data infrastructure.

• Potash, used in fertilizer, is another BHP target as the company positions itself to feed a projected 10 billion global population.

This sounds like smart business until you realize who’s benefiting. While BHP shareholders cheer, BlackRock quietly takes ownership of the systems that keep the lights on, inching ever closer to monopolizing global infrastructure. It’s a recurring theme in the post-COVID economy: multinationals and investment giants tightening their grip, while everyday people bear the brunt of inflation, rising energy costs, and job insecurity.

The same ESG-obsessed crowd that’s trying to kill coal and natural gas is now quietly buying the energy infrastructure that supports modern civilization. And under Biden, not a peep of protest. No investigation. No concern.

Meanwhile, BHP is doubling down on “organic projects” and is open to acquiring more assets so long as they produce shareholder value. That's capitalism working... for them. But as globalist institutions buy up farmland, energy, and now even power networks, the question is whether working Americans will be left owning anything at all.

As Henry put it bluntly: “We like this business.” No doubt BlackRock does too.
