Biden’s SEC Chairman brings us a step closer to “the mark of the beast”

You have heard of “the mark of the beast.” Found in the Bible’s final book, Revelation, we read of an end times dictato the beast—who will cause,

the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name (Revelation 13:16;17 NASB).  

 Given that facial recognition ID has become the norm, and certain retail stores are now utilizing a simple wave of your palm to pay at their point of purchase, the above passage no longer reads like science fiction. However, there’s a new twist that’s just occurred  in Washington, D.C. and it has taken us a giant step closer to this end times scenario. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman, Gary Gensler (appointed by President Biden), held a vote on one of his most controversial proposals: a rule that would require corporate America to disclose material risks supposedly caused by climate change.

The rule passed. Not good.

I write about this concept in Climate Cult: Exposing and Defeating Their War on Life, Liberty, and Property. The SEC is now demanding that publicly traded companies provide their investors with environmental scores on their overall carbon dioxide footprint created from the fossil fuels used in manufacturing, delivery, administration, etc. This is part of something known in the corporate world as “ESG”—Environment, Social, Governance. “E” is not about being a good steward of the environment; it’s about “climate justice.”  Based on Biden’s assertions that “Climate change is the existential threat to humanity,” climate justice implies the goal of every organization is to be carbon neutral or “Net Zero.” But, as with all things in the climate movement, there is an agenda attached to this concept.  For example, according to UNICEF — the United Nations Children’s Fund — climate justice also means “combating social injustice, gender injustice, economic injustice, intergenerational injustice and environmental injustice.”

Though the SEC didn’t make a rule on the “S” and “G,” it’s only a matter of time. “S” provides scoring metrics for employee gender and diversity inclusion, relationships with labor unions, relations, and community relations.  “S” is a slap in the face to the for-profit corporate world.  Profit is no longer the bottom line, but being woke is.

“G,” is for governance and applies to the board of directors, their race and gender makeup, the company’s political contributions, lobbying record, hiring diversity, employee benefits, and community philanthropy.

ESG, then, is an imposed measurement of things that don’t relate to business performance and, because living up to such standards is costly, ESG principles tend to hinder new players from entering the market.  Startups who seek to go public find themselves pressured for disclosure on everything from their staff’s race and gender to every bit of carbon dioxide expelled from their supply chain.

When the climate disclosure rule was first proposed back in March 2022, Gensler said, “… investors need reliable information about climate risks to make informed investment decisions. Today’s proposal would help issuers more efficiently and effectively disclose these risks and meet investor demand, as many issuers already seek to do.”

Eventually this ESG scheme will trickle down to you, the average citizen. Don’t be surprised when a personal ESG-type score is a part of a job application—after all, the company will want to keep their overall ratings high for investors. And why would a bank or financial institution want to mar their ESG by having a carbon sinner like you as a client. Or, maybe that photo of you on social media wearing a MAGA hat triggered someone in HR and now your shown the door and fired for reasons that were never made clear to you?

Think I’m joking? As I discuss in Climate Cult, a chilling sign that everyone should consider occurred in 2021, when Deutsche Bank AG and Signature Bank announced that they would no longer provide financial services to former President Donald Trump or his business, the Trump Organization, purely for ideological reasons.

A Balanced Budget? Don’t Hold Your Breath

Despite the federal government collecting record taxes in the first nine months of the fiscal year, the U.S. still ran a $515-billion budget deficit. When asked if Congress would ever be able to balance the budget, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said she would like to be optimistic, but “likely no.”

At the U.S. Capitol on July 26, CNS News asked Sen. Ernst, “The federal government collected record taxes in the first nine months of the fiscal year but still ran a $515 billion budget deficit. Will Congress ever balance the budget?”

Ernst said, “I would. I always want to be [an] optimist and say, yes, but likely no. The pragmatic is no. We’ve got to get serious about this, but I do support a balanced budget amendment.”

Ernst is a cosponsor of a proposed constitutional amendment that would require the president to submit a balanced budget, require congress to pass a balanced budget, and put additional restrictions on federal spending, raising taxes, and debt limit raising.

A “balanced” federal budget is when spending does not exceed its revenue. When Congress spends more than it earns, it must borrow the money needed to make up the deficit (it’s borrowed from the Federal Reserve, which is about as federal as Federal Express. It’s a bank, owned by the wealthiest people on the planet). What the U.S. is doing is called deficit spending and it’s like spending on a credit card and not paying the balance each month, along with the interest due.

The owners of the Federal Reserve own us, as long as we’re beholden to them.

Now the kicker: as of July 26, 2022, the national debt was $30,598,262,922,849.72, according to the Treasury Department.

That’s over THIRTY TRILLION DOLLARS, YOU FOOLS.

Deficit spending will spell the end of America. The bankers want their money–and they will get it.

Don’t these fools on the left (and many on the right) see what’s happening?

While everyone else is looking for workers, government hires 57,000…in May!

While “Help Wanted” signs are nearly everywhere, the governments of the United States hired 57,000 new bureaucrats in May.

These are usually jobs with good pay, great benefits, quite often a pension, and, too much of the time, little motivation to accomplish excellent work when compared to the private sector workplace environment.

Maybe that’s where all the workers are going?

That’s right, the number of people working for government in the United States increased by 57,000 in May, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

In April, according to BLS, 22,207,000 people were employed by government in this country. In May, that grew to 22,264,000.

Over 22-million people are government workers.

Wonder how many of these jobs are redundant, or how many employees are just mailing it in, so to speak. You can’t get away with that the for-profit world.

The biggest increase came at the state government level, where employees grew from 5,224,000 in April, to 5,260,000 in May; an increase of 36,000.

The second biggest increase came at the local level, where government employees grew from 14,108,000 in April, to 14,124,000 in May; an increase of 16,000.

At the federal level, government employment grew from 2,875,000 in April, to 2,880,000 in May; an increase of 5,000.

So much for America’s founding principle of  limited government.

Despite their promises to the contrary, every year politicians continue to spend hundreds of billions of dollars more than the government takes in. And, every year, they put it on the national credit card and the bill grows bigger.  By the way, this wild spending and over-hiring drives a businessman like Donald Trump crazy.

Currently, the national credit card bill averages $67,000 for every single American. If you’re a family of three, that’s over $200,000.

And just like the credit card bill you get at the end of the month, this bill is coming due. International bankers and financiers, including the Federal Reserve, are not charity running charities.
