UWA160- Follow the Money: Woke Wall Street, Deplatforming, and How to Fight Back | Unwoke.Academy

In Episode 160 of Unwoke Academy, host Jonathan Broadbent connects the dots between woke capital markets, censorship/deplatforming, and what everyday Americans can do to push back. He revisits how trillions of dollars inside retirement accounts—especially the roughly $13 trillion in 401(k) plans—often default into the same asset-manager ecosystem (BlackRock/Vanguard/State Street) and the same overfunded mega-cap basket, fueling what he calls a global oligarchy rather than a free-market economy.


Jonathan discusses claims that major investment channels have helped empower hostile actors (including references to prior reporting involving offshore managers and Chinese military funding) and argues the answer is transparency: know what your accounts own, reduce hidden layers of fees, and explore alternatives like self-directed brokerage options.


He also shares a major personal update: Jonathan has become a local radio host and describes how the sudden removal of conservative radio personality Bob Frantz from the air reinforced his belief that more voices must step forward—especially ahead of midterm election season. The episode closes with a practical “fight back” suggestion for viewers ready to get involved: Precinct Strategy, a grassroots civic engagement approach led by Dan Schultz, with regular coaching calls on X Spaces.
