On Feb. 28, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wrote an impassioned appeal in The Wall Street Journal for Republicans to support environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores because ESG ostensibly represents the free market at work, by offering investors more “choices.” Schumer appears to be deeply confused about how ESG operates. Or, more […]
President Joe Biden recently issued his first veto since taking office on Jan. 20, 2021. Biden rejected a bipartisan bill that would have required investment fund managers to take politics out of their investment decisions and to stay focused on providing the best return to their clients as much as […]
The 2024 presidential race gets more exciting each day. Now 37-year-old entrepreneur businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has entered the race as the newest Republican candidate. Whether this political novice has a chance at winning the highest elective office in the land remains to be seen. But for sure he has something […]
The 2023 World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting in Davos has been heavily covered, for good reason. Beyond providing a physical meeting location for the world’s political, economic, and technocratic elite to execute their Great Reset of the entire planet’s social and economic infrastructure, the annual summit also provides a […]
The purpose of this post is two-fold. First, I want to give my subscribers a heads-up that tomorrow (Feb. 15, 2023) I’ll be releasing a new video, “Why Is the Federal Reserve Provoking a Financial Crisis?” I’m shooting for noon eastern time, but we’ll see how the timed-publication feature on […]

Adding to the efforts of a multitude of states across the country, the U.S. House of Representatives will be taking the fight to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores.

Efforts to stem the tide of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores reached a zenith in 2022, due in large part to the actions of state financial officers and other state government officials. The State Financial Officers Foundation has been working to raise awareness on ESG investing and prevent it […]
As written in UnHerd, the exponentially increasing demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings for companies has led to a parallel growth in data sweatshops across the globe. Data companies use artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to process the vast amounts of data required to produce a company’s ESG score. […]
The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting in Davos has long been derided as an excuse for global elites to party, hobnob, and plan their various schemes for social engineering and societal restructuring. The meeting also represents the height of hypocrisy, with thousands of attendees traveling via 1,500 private jets […]
As thousands of dignitaries, business tycoons, pseudo-celebrities, politicians, and so-called elites gather in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Annual Meeting so they can finally “master the future,” millions of Americans have much more pressing issues on their minds. For instance, while the eggheads in Davos rant and […]
World Economic Forum (WEF) Chairman Klaus Schwab, who has run the organization since its foundation in the early 1970s, may be the target of a mutiny. According to The Guardian, a group of current and former WEF members contacted them, saying “Schwab was a law unto himself and had surrounded himself with […]
President Joe Biden’s Labor Department recently announced a new rule that will permit money managers to play politics with trillions of dollars of people’s retirement savings.

This week, the World Economic Forum (WEF) is hosting its 53rd Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland in which close to 3,000 elites, business titans, and government leaders will come together to solve all of the world’s problems, especially the “existential threat of climate change,” or so they say. The theme […]

In recent months, several states have taken legislative, administrative, and/or regulatory steps to oppose the proliferation of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investment metrics. On January 3, Kentucky officially joined the anti-ESG fray, when its treasurer, Allison Ball, released a list of 11 financial firms (BlackRock, Inc., BNP Paribas SA, […]
As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scores have become the darling of the “sustainable investment” community, it is vitally important that those of us who oppose ESG are wary of the path forward. To simply invest in “anti-ESG” or “conservative” companies as a way of mitigating ESG’s influence would play directly into […]
There’s no such thing as blue money or red money. Only the green stuff will pay bills. Friday, North Carolina State Treasurer Dale Folwell became the latest of many officials from nearly half the states across the U.S. — including Florida, Texas, Kentucky, Missouri, Arizona and West Virginia — to […]
Suffice to say, it has not been a banner year for BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who runs the world’s largest money management firm with more than $8 trillion in total assets. First, there is the bad economic news: BlackRock’s stock price has declined by more than 20 percent, which means […]
President Joe Biden’s going after 401(k) retirement accounts, risking millions of workers’ comfortable retirements. If you put money into a 401(k), beware. Until now, the law always required fund managers entrusted with your savings to invest the money where it’s expected to get the top return for you. Period. But […]

“Milton Friedman’s shareholder doctrine is dead.” Such was the headline of a 2020 Fortune magazine article critiquing Friedman’s famous New York Times opinion piece which, fifty years earlier, had argued that the social responsibility of business is to increase its profits. The Fortune article was just one of many op-eds, academic papers, and books penned over the past […]
Clearly, Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis is not a fan of BlackRock and its environmental, social, governance (ESG) investment program. In fact, Patronis is so concerned about BlackRock’s insidious ESG investment scheme that he has taken the monumental step of divesting $2 billion of the Sunshine State’s assets under […]
First published at Iaindavis.com. We are being rapidly transitioned into a new system of centralised, authoritarian global governance. This system is designed to be a technocracy and it is truly totalitarian. Totalitarianism is a form of government that attempts to assert total control over the lives of its citizens. It is […]
No doubt, the story of the rapid downfall of FTX is full of sensational headlines and salacious details. However, one of the more underreported aspects of FTX’s sudden and stunning collapse is the fact that it was a darling of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) movement. In short, ESG […]

In late February, conservative commentator Liz Wheeler said in a Facebook post that, “The Great Reset advocates replacing capitalism with an economic system that is ‘kind of socialism, kind of communism’ but ‘mostly just fascism.'” In early October, when Wheeler’s post began gaining traction across the internet, PolitiFact deemed her […]
ESG: Key Terms and Issues “The world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies and economies, from education to social contracts and working conditions.

American Institute of Economic Research distinguished fellow Samuel Gregg recently penned an excellent article on the dangers of woke capitalism, the transition from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism, and fascistic corporatism.

The Biden administration and a consortium of public and private actors have been assiduously developing a novel U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), which would ultimately replace the tangible U.S. dollar and transform our financial system. A national CBDC administered, issued, and controlled by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other […]

Wall Street is known for characters like the real Jordan Belmont and fictional Gordon Gekko personifying greed. Yet today’s great Wall Street controversy involves putting societal values above profit. Environmental, Social and Governance investing, or ESG, raises significant issues regarding misuse of investors’ money. Some have long invested “responsibly.” A […]
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores, and China’s latest totalitarian instrument, the Social Credit System (SCS), share significant commonality. Each system engenders the same erosion of individual liberty via the propagation of a singular “morality” unilaterally determined by an authoritarian overseer. That the governance structures surrounding […]

The all-knowing elites in Australia have determined that their country is lagging behind other developed countries when it comes to transitioning from internal combustion vehicles to electric vehicles (EV).
