Also, Americans may be interested in learning that investment giant Vanguard is the largest shareholder of CrowdStrike shares, with a combined 12.41% ownership between Vanguard and Vanguard Index Funds. BlackRock also has ownership but at less than 1%.“I wish I could say I was surprised, but I'm not," Return's Peter Gietl said of Vanguard's ownership. "Unfortunately BlackRock and Vanguard have bought up large stakes in many of the most important companies around the world. It becomes more and more clear that the 'free market' is a mirage on the macro level, and a few select, deep state approved companies have captured control of most industries," Gietl continued."What's particularly concerning about this outage is that CrowdStrike had kernel access to most of the systems around the world. This seems very dangerous, allowing a hacker or an accident to crash systems around the world. Never mind that a WEF partner has that level of system access," he added.
