  • Black Lives Matter Movement Received Nearly $83 Billion from Corporations
    https://www.breitbart.com/social-justice/2023/03/14/black-lives-matter-movement-received-nearly-83-billion-from-corporations/

    The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and related causes received an astonishing $82.9 billion from corporations, a new funding database from the Claremont Institute has found.

    The Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life explained the necessity of their report in an article published in Newsweek, where the Center asserted that the 2020 BLM movement was about more than just “rioting and destruction.”

    The Center explained that “The BLM pressure campaigns, harassment, and moral blackmail also amounted to possibly the most lucrative shakedown of corporate America in its history.”

    “As a point of reference, $82.9 billion is more than the GDP of 46 African countries. In 2022, the Ford Motor Company’s profits were $23 billion,” they also noted. The sum of $82.9 million includes “more than $123 million to the BLM parent organizations directly,” as well as much more to other organizations supporting BLM’s agenda.

    The list reveals that several popular corporations from a wide range of different industries supplied the movement with large sums of cash. Walmart, for example, which is based in Arkansas, gave a whopping $100 million in support of BLM and related causes focusing on “racial equity.” Amazon gave even more, supplying the movement with an astonishing $169.5 million. Silicon Valley Bank gave the movement $73.45 million.

    Meanwhile, the pharmaceutical company Abbvie gave the movement over $62 million in funding. Allstate gave $7.7 million to the cause and American Express gave $50 million. Apple gave $100 million while AT&T gave $21.5 million. The movement and its causes received another $90 million from Nike.

    United Airlines, JetBlue, Southwest Airlines, and Delta Airlines all gave money to BLM and related causes as well.

    Bank of America, meanwhile, provided $18.25 million to BLM and related causes while Wells Fargo diverted $210 million towards BLM and related causes. Deloitte gave $85 million to BLM and related causes.

    Asset management giant BlackRock put a shocking $810 million towards BLM and related causes, while other powerful financial institutions also bankrolled the movement, with Capital One Financial giving $10 million, Morgan Stanley giving $30 million, US Bank giving $160 million, and Goldman Sachs giving $10.1 million.

    Meanwhile, Prudential Financial supplied the movement and its related causes with a sum of $450 million but was outdone by Mastercard, which gave $500 million.

    The database found that Boeing gave $15.6 million, while Northrop Grumman gave $2 million and Raytheon gave $25 million.

    The Walt Disney Company gave $8.8 million to BLM and related causes while the Pokémon Company gave $200,000.

    The Claremont Institute’s Center for the American Way of Life also explained how the funds have been used, remarking that

  • Peddlers of Environmental Doom are Closet Totalitarians

    https://dailysceptic.org/2022/08/15/peddlers-of-environmental-doom-are-closet-totalitarians/
    Professor Jordan Peterson has written a fantastic essay for the Telegraph attacking the global political and business elite and their court astrologers for promoting a completely unworkable net zero agenda that will have to be paid for by the poor and the vulnerable, thereby fuelling civil unrest. The essay articulates so clearly my own point of view, and I suspect the view of most other Daily Sceptic contributors, it reads almost like an in-house editorial. His central point is that this corporate environmental activism is underpinned by the same strain of misguided utopianism that has been responsible for so much human misery. Here’s how it begins:

    Deloitte is the largest “professional services network” in the world. Headquartered in London, it is also one of the big four global accounting companies, offering audit, consulting, risk advisory, tax and legal services to corporate clients.

    With a third of a million professionals operating on those fronts worldwide, and as the third-largest privately owned company in the US, Deloitte is a behemoth with numerous and far-reaching tentacles.

    In short: it is an entity we should all know about, not least because such enterprises no longer limit themselves to their proper bailiwick (profit-centred business strategising, say), but – consciously or not – have assumed the role as councillors to believers in unchecked globalisation whose policies have sparked considerable unrest around the world.

    If you’re seeking the cause of the Dutch agriculture and fisheries protests, the Canadian trucker convoy, the yellow-jackets in France, the farmer rebellion in India a few years ago, the recent catastrophic collapse of Sri Lanka, or the energy crisis in Europe and Australia, you can instruct yourself by the recent pronouncements from Deloitte.

    Whilst not directly responsible, they offer an insight into the elite groupthink that has triggered these events; into the cabal of utopians operating in the media, corporate and government fronts, wielding a nightmarish vision of environmental apocalypse.

    'Time for a clean out': ASIC and Australia Post scandals rock public executives

    By Eryk Bagshaw October 24, 2020

    Liberal and Labor MPs have condemned the corporate rewards culture and service failure at two of the government's top agencies after Australia Post and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission became mired in scandal over executive bonuses and concessions.

    Liberal senator Andrew Bragg has called for a "clean out at ASIC" after chairman James Shipton claimed $118,557 in taxpayer funding to cover his tax advice and deputy chair Daniel Crennan claimed $69,621 in housing expenses. Both are repaying the amounts. Mr Shipton has stood aside pending the outcome of an investigation by Treasury but maintains he has acted "properly and appropriately in this matter".

    Senator Bragg, who leads the government's committee on financial technology, said there were too many commissioners and not enough follow-through on enforcement. "Too many behinds and no goals," he wrote on Twitter.

    ASIC has six commissioners including its chairs. The regulator was criticised by the banking royal commission for failing to prosecute the big banks in the lead-up to the inquiry and pledged to overhaul its approach to favour litigation.

    The government is now also drawing up terms of reference for an investigation into Australia Post after Senate estimates heard on Thursday that its chief executive Christine Holgate spent $19,950 on Cartier watches as rewards for four employees. Ms Holgate had previously spent $300,000 on corporate credit cards and chauffeur-driven cars in the 2019/20 financial year.

    Government sources, who asked not to be identified because deliberations are ongoing, said the inquiry would look at the culture of Australia Post that allowed the incidents to occur, opening up a wide-ranging brief into Ms Holgate's tenure at the agency. The former Blackmores chief executive has stood aside pending the outcome of the investigation.

    Liberal MP Andrew Laming, the chair of the standing committee on employment, said uniform salary structures for government-owned corporations and statutory authorities needed to be implemented. Australia Post and ASIC, despite being public entities, are run independently of government and not subject to the same executive pay scales that govern the rest of the public service.

    "The argument has always been, to attract people out of the private sector the salary has to be high," he told the ABC on Saturday. "That's a very flawed argument.

    "There has to be a solution and that is if you want to pay more than a High Court judge to anyone working in the public service, you go to the remuneration tribunal and the whole discussion is public and the public can either support or oppose it."

    The chief justice of the High Court earns $596,220 a year. Ms Holgate earns a base salary of $1.4 million a year before bonuses. Mr Shipton earns $775,900 a year.

    Labor's spokesman for cities Andrew Giles said all "Australians should be shocked by this".

    "These are people who are personally selected by the government for these critical corporate enforcement roles, and yet we're seeing - I mean staggered by this, $118,000 spent on tax advice by the taxpayer for Mr Shipton," he said. "This is absolutely extraordinary."

    The developments follow years of government initiatives to attract talent from the private sector to diversify the public sector workforce, while also sending high-ranking public servants back into corporations on secondment. In 2017 The Public Service Commission program secured placements for 20 of the country's highest public servants in state and federal governments across companies such as Virgin, Deloitte and Qantas.

    Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday rejected claims by Collingwood president Eddie Maguire, who sits on the football club's board with Ms Holgate, that the pursuit of the Australia Post chief was motivated by the "politics of envy" that made "superstar business people play like dullards".

    Scott Morrison has put embattled Australia Post boss Christine Holgate on notice.

    Mr Morrison said the evidence given by Ms Holgate would not have passed "any test with the Australian public".

    "I think there wouldn't be a board member of a government agency or a CEO of a government agency that didn't get my message yesterday," he said. "I think they got it with a rocket."
