In
recent months, hundreds of large corporations and financial
institutions have shed the facade of who and what they really are.
There are many kinds of socialism. Democrat Corporate Socialism is
the new western world-wide twenty-first century mantra. The elites
have met and their “Great Reset” is now clear. The corporations
have been directed by their Socialist minded comrades to rally around
liberal causes and even put policies into place making sure to
directly target conservative values to reshape their world for
maximum profit. Everything conservative is now labeled racist.
For
example, on April 14, hundreds of the largest corporations and
financial institutions in the world, including Amazon, Google,
Netflix, and Starbucks, signed a statement opposing “discriminatory
legislation” i.e.
voter identification that
aims to make elections more secure. Similarly, Major League Baseball
recently announced it’s moving its annual All-Star Game out of
Georgia as a protest against the state’s new election requirements
that
are no more than any normal person would have to produce daily.
In
February, the
despicable, but not alone, Coca-Cola
company
forced
employees into
radical diversity training that asked them to “try to be less
white,” which, according to leaked slides from the presentation,
involves being “less oppressive” and requires a “break with
white solidarity.” Apparently
at Coke solidarity is only for people other than a Caucasian.
In
February and March, the six largest banks in the United States
announced they would phase in a net-zero carbon dioxide financing
requirement for all of their business operations, effectively making
it impossible for fossil-fuel companies—as well as any other
business that refuses to “go green”—to secure a loan or benefit
from various other financial services at the country’s biggest
banks. Many other, smaller banks have also signed on. Why are so many
large corporations and financial institutions embracing left-wing
causes, alienating tens of millions of conservative Americans in the
process? Simple,
the elite have their wealth based on new industries in the “green”
fields and that requires the destruction of the current fossil
industries.
This
is not
the old-fashioned kind of backroom dealing between corporate leaders
and politicians that we’re all used to. In recent years, dramatic
shifts in monetary policy, coupled with greater coordination between
bankers, investors, government officials, and corporations, have
ushered in an entirely new era of cronyism and the centralization of
economic and social decision-making, one that poses significant
dangers to individual liberty.
The
recent rapid increase in money-printing that has been pursued by
central banks in the United States and Europe, which have increased
the money supply by trillions of dollars in just a few years. Future
inflation or more likely stagflation cannot be ignored. If this
continues, within a few years the wealth of the average person will
begin to drop and society as a whole will see more widening of the
wealth gap. The ultimate goal is the elimination of the post WWII
middle class and a return to a pre-constitutional world.
One-party
ruling
officials in the US
realize they are now able to spend nearly any amount of money they
want without having to raise taxes, and banks learned that they can
get a steady stream of newly printed cash from central banks
on-demand. These two powerful groups came to the conclusion that they
can effectively manage most economic activity without having to pass
a slew of new laws, taxes, and restrictions. They
only have to demonize the past culture and laws with the help of
their left-wing activist comrades.
They
will lie(no surprise) that it is a right-wing
conspiracy theory, but the evidence to
the contrary is
overwhelming. In June 2020, the World Economic Forum, working with
CEOs and presidents from large corporations, powerful bankers,
international institutions, labor union leaders, and activists,
launched the “Great Reset,” a plan to overhaul the entire global
economy. They
met again after installing Mr. Biden at the end of January.

We
know that this is occurring not only because corporations and banks
have already started to align with left-wing goals, even though they
know it will frustrate large proportions of their customer base, but
also because corporations have widely adopted environmental, social,
and governance standards, which systematize social justice goals
within their businesses. It
has been taken to the extreme as we see with the Coca-Cola company
spewing reverse racism. Corporations and banks have imposed left-wing
social justice policies on society, and they will be rewarded by the
Leftist government and central banks who, in turn, will earn large
profits from new streams of government-printed cash.
“Every
country…... must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas
to tech, must be transformed,” wrote Klaus Schwab, the founder and
executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, in an article about
the initiative.” How,
exactly, will this transformation occur? Exactly as we are seeing it
play out now. Ninety-eight
percent of large companies in the United States and
thousands
of
companies worldwide already have sustainability reporting systems in
place.
In
the past, corporations used to stay out of most political and
ideological debates, because alienating huge segments of society is
generally not a good recipe for success in a market economy.
Corporations are moving to the left for a reason. The Great Reset,
like so many other movements in history, is all about money and
power—and these days, there’s plenty of both available for
ruling-class elites to get their fill.
When
fascism comes, it will come not with jackboots but with promises of a
better world. The jackboots come later, when we've all been shamed
into silence -- when we've been taught that to allow that with which
we disagree is to agree with it, and when we've accepted that the
best method of preventing such disagreement is government power.
We're on the verge. All it will take is the silence of good people --
people on all sides of the political aisle -- who fall prey to the
ultimate temptation in a republic: the temptation to force their
values on others utilizing the machinery of government. We're already
more than halfway there.
