  As 'Net-Zero' Comes a Cropper, a New Threat Arises Elizabeth Nickson   If not stopped, on November 17th, the U.S. government will pass a rule that allows for America’s protected lands, including parks and wildlife refuges, to be listed on the N.Y. Stock Exchange.  Natural Asset Companies (NACs)  will be owned, managed, and traded by companies like BlackRock, Vanguard, and even China. Since the early 2000’s, outfits like Goldman Sachs have been trying to trade air, or specifically carbon without much success. Their  2005  carbon exchange staggered along until it was quietly discontinued, and their Climate Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is now facing  delisting . "ESG" was the next attempt to monetize the un-monetizable, with the "E" part of that acronym standing for Environment, ill-defined as that was. Now ESG is  failing . Market leaders say it is facing "a perfect storm of negative sentiment" and its U.S. investments fell by $163 billion in the fir

Thanks to  Saint Jimmy (Russian American) for recommending this article. Germany’s position in America’s New World Order By  Michael     Germany has become an economic satellite of America’s New Cold War with Russia, China and the rest of Eurasia. Germany and other NATO countries have been told to impose trade and investment sanctions upon themselves that will outlast today’s proxy war in Ukraine. U.S. President Biden and his State Department spokesmen have explained that Ukraine is just the opening arena in a much broader dynamic that is splitting the world into two opposing sets of economic alliances. This global fracture promises to be a ten- or twenty-year struggle to determine whether the world economy will be a unipolar U.S.-centered dollarized economy, or a multipolar, multi-currency world centered on the Eurasian heartland with mixed public/private economies. President Biden has characterized this split as being between democracies and autocracies. The terminology is typical O

Elections Won’t Fix This  BY  JEFFREY A. TUCKER   Americans have limitless faith in democracy. In the early 19th century, that charmed Alexis de Tocqueville. His book  Democracy in America  still rings true today because not much has changed. The entire country can be in ruins and even then, most people figure that it will all be improved or even solved come November. It’s been going on for our entire history. As a people, we believe our elections are what keep the people and not the dictators in charge.  Surely some of this faith is necessary simply because it is the only option we have. The sitting president and his party are in deep trouble now, and most observers are predicting a rout in the midterm elections, granting us two additional painful years of inflation plus recession unfolding amidst what will surely be a brutal political stalemate and cultural upheaval. Then November will come again and with it another round of trust that the new president will figure something out.  Th

How Education International is Pushing Teachers’ Unions into the 4th Industrial Revolution Why have teachers’ unions been pushing ed-tech that is driving schools into the 4IR? Look no further than Education International, a global federation tied to UNESCO & the WEF that dominates most teachers’ unions in the US and beyond. BY JOHN KLYCZEK For nearly a hundred years, the American Federation of Teachers  (AFT)  and the National Education Association  (NEA)  – the  two largest  teachers’  unions  in the United States – have cozied up to corporate foundations, such as the Rockefeller philanthropies and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with multinational technology companies, including IBM and Microsoft. After almost a century of cutting side deals with Robber Barons and Tech Barons alike, the AFT and the NEA are now parroting the Gates Foundation’s  “Reimagine Education”  campaign, which is being buoyed by the World Economic Forum  (WEF)  and the United Nations Educational
