Stop ESG Scores

Elon Musk said recently that ESG Scores were the spawn of Satan. I couldn’t have put it better. The ESG Score is the most evil policy we’ve ever faced as a free people. When I was in China the two things that frightened me most were the constant surveillance and the credit scores. But I thought that could never happen in America because we have a Constitution. How naïve I was.

A few weeks ago Klaus Schwab held the ”World Government Summit”. World Government…is that what you want? Schwab, who is also the organizer of the World Economic Forum, where the ESG Scores were developed, said, ”As humanity moves further toward a post-carbon future people must accept that things like eating meat and property ownership simply is unsustainable”. The meme of the World Economic Forum is, ”You’ll Own Nothing and Like It”. NO, we won’t.

Larry Fink, CEO of Blackrock said in a 2017 NYTimes interview, ”…we’re going to have to force behaviors”. ESG Scores (social scores) are an end run around the Constitution. The government isn’t imposing them on us, banks are. They will go through our records, see how we spend our money, and give us an ESG Score. Sort of like what the Bank of America did after January Sixth. They went through their customers records and turned over to the FBI the people who were in DC on January Sixth. How many of their customers would have gone to January Sixth if they had known Bank of America was going to do that?

ESG Scores will ”force behaviors”. If you have worked hard, paid your bills, and maintained a good credit score, but 14 years ago you donated to Proposition 8 in California (against gay marriage that passed overwhelmingly) and have a small business with 3 employees, none of which are minorities, you will be denied a mortgage or car loan or other financial services regardless of your good credit.

The ”E” in ESG Scores stands for ”environmental”. Do you support the Green New Deal? Are you a Climate Change Skeptic? Do you support 100% electric cars? Do you support “renewable energy“ and ending ALL fossil fuel use? How much air conditioning do you use? Do you have solar panels on your roof?

The ”S” stands for ”Social”. Do you not just accept gay marriage but support it? Do you believe there are numerous genders? Do you support transitioning children without their parents knowledge or consent? If you own a business how ”diverse” is your staff? Do you support gender/race, not merit based jobs? Do you believe in ”White Privilege”? Do you object to the graphic sex education?

And the ”G” stands for ”Government”. Do you support mask/vaccine mandates? Do you question “lockdowns”? Are you for defunding the police? Do you think open borders are no big deal? Did you go to January Sixth? Are you for voter ID? Are you against all mail-in ballots? Are you for the Great Reset? Do you believe some speech needs to be silenced? Do you support the 2nd Amendment? Are you pro-Life? Do you support America First?

If you were afraid you wouldn’t get the business loan you needed if you attended a “Anti-Mandate” rally, would you go? If you thought your credit cards would be cancelled, would you buy a gun or more ammunition? If you thought you wouldn’t get a mortgage if you objected to your school teaching your child ”how to” sex education, would you speak against it at the school board meeting?

Corporations and companies already have ESG Scores. You can look them up on the internet. It is my suspicion that is why so many American companies have become so ”woke”. Why they are having CRT training. Why they are fighting the ”Don’t Say Gay” Florida bill (without acknowledging there is nothing antigay in the bill). While banks are not using individual’s ESG Scores yet, they WILL…..UNLESS we stop them.

Several states have drafted legislation against ESG Scores. They say that they will not do business with any bank that uses ESG Scores to discriminate against customers. Arizona, my state, was one of them. Once banks saw this they spent millions to send lobbyists to the states to convince the legislators NOT to pass the bills. Apparently, they were successful in Arizona as it didn’t pass. I don’t understand anyone, Republican or Democrat, that would want social scores imposed on people. We are NOT free people if we have social scores.

We MUST flood our legislators with calls, emails, and letters demanding they PASS anti-ESG Score legislation. We can’t sit on our couches and hope this will go away. It won’t.
