Why corporations are doubling down on woke even
as they lose billions
It's a bloodbath for the majority of companies that go overtly
woke in a new era of American consumer rebellion, and the establishment is not
happy. Corporations like Disney, Anheuser-Busch and Target are plunging in
profits and losing billions in market cap after pledging fealty to the trans
agenda. In particular, the public is setting out to make examples of
institutions that support trans indoctrination of children. Simply put, a line
in the sand has been crossed.
The media is claiming that this movement is akin to "economic
terrorism." That is to say, if you refuse to support the woke hive mind
with your dollars, you are the enemy.
It took long enough, but average Americans are finally engaging in
a culture war that was started years ago, not so much by the political left,
but by globalist institutions using leftist activists as enforcers and
saboteurs. The key issue that very few people talk about is that activist
groups would have no
power whatsoever if it weren't for the unprecedented backing they
receive from governments, nonprofits, think tanks and the corporate world. And
a lot of this support has been injected through ESG-style financing as well as
DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs.
ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) is becoming a well-known
term and is, at bottom, a form of "impact investing." Meaning, major
lenders such as Blackrock or Carlyle Group, or think tanks like the Ford
Foundation, seek to control societal outcomes using lending as leverage. Watch the
video featuring
the Ford Foundation's head of "mission investments" to get a basic
understanding of what ESG really is: Social engineering.
In the past, lenders would base their financing standards on good
credit scores and the likelihood of return on investment. If you had a business
with a history of solid returns, you would probably get whatever loans you
needed. Today, however, lenders are trying to set political and ideological
terms for any companies seeking to obtain financing. You must signal your
virtue to get access to money, and this includes supporting climate and carbon
initiatives, reorganizing your labor based on diversity and inclusion rules,
even promoting LGBT activism might be a big factor in your next infusion of
cash.
The higher your ESG score, the more likely it is that you will
qualify for access to debt. This is part of the reason why a large array of
corporations are increasingly jumping on the "pride month" bandwagon.
All they have to do is slap some rainbows on some products or commercials and
publicly defend the trans grooming of children; suddenly they are golden for
another year of subsidized programs.
But what happens in a world where consumer loyalty is no longer a
given and the public stops buying from chains that promote woke concepts? What
happens when going woke also means going broke? Is ESG cash really worth losing
half your customers?
Well, not right now it isn't. As central banks raise interest
rates and cut their balance sheets, the easy money party that started back in
2008 is ending. After a decade of exponential growth, ESG is now in
steep decline, and this is directly tied to the policies of central banks like
the Federal Reserve. In the past year it is no longer viable to dump money into
mostly useless woke projects. Yet, the woke trend continues. Why?
As we have seen in recent months, the consumer market is becoming
less and less important to CEOs. They seem to be stupidly doubling down on
leftist extremism, and one has to wonder why they are willing to suffer
incredible profit losses as well as stock losses just to spread political
propaganda they know is
false.
Twenty years ago, the name of the game in the business world was
"brand building." If you could build your brand and gain market
loyalty you could sustain your profit model for decades to come. Now,
corporations are actually willing to destroy the very brands they spent so much
time and money developing all in the name of political idolatry.
But what if they know something we don't? What if they are riding
out an engineered economic crisis so that they can be rewarded later with
"too woke to fail" riches? My theory is that while ESG lending
appears to be dying today, in the future ESG lending will be the only way any
company will be able to survive if the establishment gets what it wants.
The frightening notion of central bank ESG financing has
been circulating ever since the early days of the COVID pandemic. From the BIS
to the Fed to the ECB, numerous programs began to surface with woke
connotations. Most of them initially focused on climate change, with central banks
suddenly taking an interest in "saving the planet" from a carbon
threat that doesn't exist. Now, there's a rising chorus of DEI and social equity babble
coming from central banks as well.
Maybe international banks are limited in how they engage in ESG
lending, but what about central banks? What if they drop their facade of being
"politically neutral" and come out full force in support of the woke
mind virus? What if central banks become the foundation of ESG?
I believe that this is exactly what is intended to happen, but it
would have to be tied directly to an economic crisis as well as the
introduction of digital currencies (CBDCs).
A debt crisis (along with stagflation) could force a majority of
companies into a corner. With a lack of funds, falling consumer spending and a
tightening loan market, central banks and stimulus measures would once again
become the only official mechanism for rebuilding the economy. Governments
would also be beholden to central banks as a means to stay afloat, and this
means the bankers will have immense influence over how money is distributed.
Unlike the crash of 2008, though, the next stimulus event will not
be a fiat free-for-all. Instead, it will be reset; a highly limited rescue plan with
digital money being infused into select institutions. In other words, only a
portion of the existing economy will be given a lifeboat, and guess who will
qualify for a spot on the raft? That's right, companies showing the most
devotion to ESG.
This would explain why so many corporations are refusing to back
away from woke marketing even though they're losing millions of customers; they
know what's about to happen and they're preparing in advance for the fallout as
well as digital bailouts.
Of course, some people will argue that this would require a level
of organization and "conspiracy" that doesn't exist. It would be
"silly" to suggest that corporations are aware of a plan to
fundamentally upend the current economic paradigm, right? Wrong. At least in
terms of coordination, the cabal has
already openly announced its presence.
The collusion of corporations, think tanks and governments to
create an international woke monopoly is not theory, it's reality. The only
question left is when will central banks fully admit they are a part of the
scheme. I would suggest that the signs of the banking crisis we witnessed at
the beginning of this year are the tip of the iceberg.
As the Fed and others continue to raise interest rates into
economic weakness stress on the system will rise, and eventually, something
integral will snap. Maybe it will be another Lehman moment, maybe it will be
the U.S. dollar losing reserve status, or some other disaster. But it's no
coincidence that this invasion of far-left cultism in the business world is
escalating at the same time that our economic foundations are struggling. One
is related to the other, and it's my view that the decay of the current system
is meant to facilitate the creation of a new and perpetually woke economy.
The public would thus be trapped into participating in the cult by
sheer necessity unless the population decentralizes using localized production
and localized trade. Our entire way of life would have to change dramatically,
drawing from self-sufficient ideals that used to be a staple a hundred years
ago. ESG is not going away on its own. Woke ideology is not going away on its
own. These structures will have to be destroyed, but you can't destroy a
structure you rely on for your daily survival. You would first have to
completely separate from it.

15 Ways To Wipe When The Toilet Paper Is Gone
Toilet paper is a modern luxury [along w/ indoor plumbing] that
people tend to take for granted until the moment they reach for it and find
nothing but a cardboard roll. When that happens, they would gladly pay top
dollar for a few squares.
You know you've been there. Of course, all you have to do is
waddle around the house until you find some more toilet paper or at least some
paper towels. But what if you don't have anymore? What would you do then?
This is why it's important to store plenty of toilet paper. But
that's not enough. What if the crisis lasts a long time and you run out? What
if you have to abandon your home? What if your toilet paper is destroyed by
flood or fire? In case that happens, you'll need to consider some substitutes
for toilet paper...
