The ‘ESG’ Scam Rates Slave-Using Chinese Firms Higher Than Clean American Energy Producers
Expecting publicly traded companies to do more than simply return shareholder value — their fiduciary responsibility — is a fairly new development in Western capitalism. The idea that corporate leadership and shareholders should explicitly care about environmental, social, and corporate governance (known as ESG) issues beyond how they might affect the bottom line has been around for only about 30 years.
But now, ESG investing has become a big driver in steering capital to corporations deemed to be good stewards of subjective principles. By 2025, financial management firms that claim to invest with ESG principles are projected to account for $50 trillion of a total global value of $140.5 trillion — more than a third of managed investments.
Networks CENSOR Joe Biden’s ‘I Think You’re Clear’ Voicemail to Hunter
President Joe Biden has repeatedly denied he knew about his son Hunter’s numerous shady business dealings but a voicemail to his son — discovered by The Daily Mail — puts a lie to his 2019 claim: “I’ve never spoken to my son [Hunter] about his overseas business dealings!”
Reddit Bans Popular Anti-Woke Subreddit For Sharing Gender Critical Posts
In the wee hours of Monday morning, June 21, down came the Reddit ban hammer. The popular subreddit TumblrInAction, with almost 500,000 active users, and its little sister sub, SocialJusticeInAction, with 96,000 users, each received a no-warning ban for “promoting hate” on the platform.
What did these Redditors do wrong to merit such a punishment? These subs allowed users to post anti-woke and often truthful, gender-critical content that pushed “identity invalidation.” Reddit’s victims had employed free speech on the platform, thus becoming popular and therefore had to go.
Biden’s Energy Crisis
The ongoing world energy crisis, which began in 2021 and has caused record price spikes for oil, natural gas and coal — in combination with Russia’s war on Ukraine — seems to have proven for once and all that energy independence is a matter of national security. Both Europe and the US have recently had to relearn this lesson — yet again — when Russian President Vladimir Putin cut gas supplies to a number of European countries after they refused to pay in Russian rubles — and before that, when the West was confronted with the need to sanction Russian oil and gas exports, while at the same time being dependent on them.
US President Joe Biden let nearly two weeks go by after Putin invaded Ukraine, before announcing that he would finally ban US imports of Russian oil, natural gas and coal, which, until then, had been helping to pay for Putin’s war on Ukraine. In 2021, 36% of Russian government revenues came from the sale of oil and gas.
Crypto crash threatens North Korea’s stolen funds as it ramps up weapons tests
SEOUL (Reuters) – The nosedive in cryptocurrency markets has wiped out millions of dollars in funds stolen by North Korean hackers, four digital investigators say, threatening a key source of funding for the sanctions-stricken country and its weapons programmes.
North Korea has poured resources into stealing cryptocurrencies in recent years, making it a potent hacking threat and leading to one of the largest cryptocurrency heists on record in March, in which almost $615 million was stolen, according to the U.S. Treasury.
Al Qaeda chief is minced by US ‘ninja missile’
A US drone strike in northwestern Syria has killed a leader of a local jihadist group affiliated to Al-Qaeda.
The precision strike, carried out on Monday just before midnight (2100 GMT) on the eastern edge of the city of Idlib, killed Abu Hamzah al-Yemeni – the leader of the Hurras al-Deen group – as he was riding his motorbike along a dirt road.
Images from the scene showed the twisted remains of a motorcycle strewn across the ground, suggesting the missile scored a direct hit on its target.
GUNTER: Feds admit their plastics ban will actually increase waste
Here’s something I’ll bet you didn’t know about the federal government’s ban on single-use plastics.
In the Environment department’s own “regulatory impact assessment,” federal researchers claimed, “the proposed regulations would prevent approximately 1.6 million tonnes of plastics from entering the waste stream over the analytical period.” That’s 2023 to 2032. But the ban “would also add about 3.2 million tonnes of other materials to the waste stream from the use of substitutes.”
R&B star R Kelly, 55, sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex trafficking and racketeering over 25 years
Disgraced R&B star R Kelly has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for sex trafficking and abusing young girls as the judge told him ‘the public has to be protected.’
Kelly, 55, was convicted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges last September following a nearly six-week trial that amplified accusations that had dogged the singer of the Grammy-winning hit ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ since the early 2000s.
Judge Ann M. Donnelly handed down Kelly’s sentence in Brooklyn Federal Court on Wednesday, despite the defense lawyers’ request for a sentence of 10 years or less. Prosecutors had asked for at least 25 years.
Paris attacks trial to conclude after 10 months of harrowing testimony
It was the biggest criminal trial ever held in France, where hundreds of people who survived the deadliest peacetime attack on French soil gave shocking details of their ordeal – from crawling past corpses at Paris’s Bataclan concert hall, to being held hostage by gunmen or ducking Kalashnikov fire at restaurant pavement tables.
Now, after 10 months of harrowing testimony from the victims and the bereaved, judges will return their verdicts on Wednesday. But beyond the sentencing, the trial’s platform for survivors to speak out has been hailed as a crucial step in France facing its collective trauma over the November 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, which killed 130 people and injured more than 490.
Bad things are still happening in Uvalde
If you’ve been following the story of the mass shooting and ensuing police debacle in Uvalde, Texas, you probably remember Angeli Rose Gomez. She is the mother of two sons who attended the school and who received a call while working on a nearby ranch when the attack began. She dropped everything and rushed to the school to save her children, only to be detained and handcuffed by the police when she attempted to go inside. She was not having any of it. Shortly after that, she escaped and entered the school anyway, getting both of her kids out of there.
FCC asks Google, Apple to remove TikTok due to data privacy concerns at Chinese-owned company
A commissioner with the U.S. communications regulator is asking Apple and Google to consider banning TikTok from their app stores over data security concerns related to the Chinese-owned company.
Brendan Carr, a commissioner with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has written a letter to the CEOs of both companies, alerting them that the wildly popular video-sharing app does not comply with the requirements of their app store policies.
Black Lives Matter Supporter Says Activist Attacks on Police Are ‘Just Not Happening’
Protesters injured more than 2,000 officers in summer 2020 alone
An anti-police activist said at a Tuesday Washington Post forum that activist attacks on police “literally” are “not happening.”
“I’m always interested when the police are, like, I don’t know, nervous about stuff,” Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson said at the forum, because “the community is not—we’re not attacking the police. That literally is just not happening.”
Unclear whether Canada will participate in G7 plan to counter China’s Belt and Road Initiative
OTTAWA – It remains unclear whether Canada will participate in a new US$600-billion project from the G7 being set up as a western counterbalance China’s massive Belt and Road Initiative economic power play.
U.S. President Joe Biden and other G7 leaders officially launched the newly renamed Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment at their annual gathering over the weekend in Germany, pledging US$600 billion in investment for the plan. It is being positioned as an alternative to China’s sprawling Belt and Road Initiative, which has used Beijing’s economic might to extend its influence around Africa, Asia and Europe.
