A radical European law could devastate the U.S. economy
In May 2024, officials in the European Union passed a radical new law that threatens to deal a severe blow to the U.S. economy, erode individual freedoms and coerce thousands of American companies into embracing a progressive agenda.
If this law takes full effect, the repercussions for Americans could be economically devastating and extremely difficult to reverse.
This sweeping EU legislation, titled the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, seeks to impose environmental, social, and governance or ESG mandates on businesses worldwide. ESG is a social credit system that uses non-financial metrics to measure performance, such as companies’ commitment to battling climate change or promoting social justice causes.
The legislation applies to large companies operating in EU markets, regardless of their home country. As a result, many American corporations will be covered under the new EU rules.
The directive doesn’t just demand that companies revamp their own business models. It also requires them to pressure their supply-chain partners to align with these ESG mandates, no matter where those entities are based. That means a vast number of small and medium-sized companies will be forced into this scheme as well.
Corporations that fall under the jurisdiction of this directive include EU-based firms with at least 1,000 employees and global revenue exceeding €450 million (about $475 million). Non-European companies, including those from the U.S., are also subject to the regulation if they generate at least €450 million in revenue from their EU operations.
The law mandates that covered businesses curtail land development, limit water usage and minimize and even reverse biodiversity loss. Moreover, the law compels companies to use “green energy,” regardless of the economic hardships such a shift might create, and enforces restrictions on certain kinds of information deemed “disinformation” or “misleading.”
The directive also enhances the power of labor unions and forces businesses to comply with international agreements passed by the EU and United Nations.
Noncompliance comes with heavy financial consequences. Companies that fail to meet the law’s mandates could face penalties amounting to 5 percent of their global revenue. Moreover, the law empowers activists and individuals to initiate lawsuits against businesses they accuse of violations, opening the door to an unprecedented amount of legal abuse.
This regulatory framework will be gradually introduced over the next several years, with full implementation required for the largest companies by 2027. Financial data suggest that numerous iconic American companies — including Amazon, Apple, Google, Ford, Cargill, McDonald’s, Meta and Microsoft — will be affected by this sweeping legislation….

UN PRESS RELEASE:
United Nations adopts ground-breaking Pact for the Future to transform global governance
New York, 23 September 2024 –
World leaders yesterday (22 September 2024) adopted a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. This Pact is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process to adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The most wide-ranging international agreement in many years, covering entirely new areas as well as issues on which agreement has not been possible in decades, the Pact aims above all to ensure that international institutions can deliver in the face of a world that has changed dramatically since they were created. As the Secretary-General has said, “we cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.”
Overall, the agreement of the Pact is a strong statement of countries’ commitment to the United Nations, the international system and international law. Leaders set out a clear vision of an international system that can deliver on its promises, is more representative of today’s world and draws on the energy and expertise of governments, civil society and other key partners.
“The Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations open the door to new opportunities and untapped possibilities,” said the Secretary-General during his remarks at the opening of the Summit of the Future. The President of the General Assembly noted that the Pact would “lay the foundations for a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations.”
The Pact covers a broad range of issues including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations, and the transformation of global governance. Key deliverables in the Pact include:…
UN Move Would ‘Sell Our Sovereignty to Globalists,’ GOP Lawmakers Warn
www.dailysignal.com/2024/09/19/un-policies-surrender-americas-sovereignty-world-government-gop-lawmakers-warn/
House Republicans are standing up to what they call a push by the United Nations and its World Health Organization to extinguish U.S. sovereignty and free speech.
Reps. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., and Bob Good, R-Va., led a press conference with fellow GOP congressmen on the first day of Constitution Week to oppose ongoing initiatives of the U.N. and the WHO, one of its component organizations.
Good said the Biden-Harris administration wants America to be subordinated to and governed by the U.N. World Health Assembly and the World Health Organization.

“They seek to facilitate the evolution of the U.N. from an international cooperative body to an international governing body,” Good said at the Tuesday press conference.
Good said he is shocked by the lack of attention to the issue in the news media.
“This is the most important issue [but it’s] getting the least amount of attention relative to its importance and its impact on our country and on the American people,” the Virginia Republican said.
This weekend, the United Nations will host a conference called “Summit of the Future” to discuss three proposed international agreements: the Pact for the Future, the Declaration on Future Generations, and the Global Digital Compact.
U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres produced a report in 2021 called “Our Common Agenda,” which used COVID-19 as justification for increasing the U.N.’s power to address world crises because it wasn’t feasible to rely on member nations to do the right thing.
The Pact for the Future includes an “emergency platform” that would give Guterres the power as U.N. chief to address what the agreement calls “global shocks.”
These global shocks, the agreement says, include:
large-scale climatic or environmental events that cause major socioeconomic disruptions and/or environmental degradation; future pandemics with cascading secondary impacts; high-impact events involving a biological agent (deliberate or accidental); events leading to disruptions to global flows of goods, people or finance; large-scale destructive and/or disruptive activity in cyberspace or disruptions to global digital connectivity; a major event in outer space that causes severe disruptions to one or several critical systems on Earth; [and] unforeseen risks (‘black swan’ events).
“That’s enough examples and enough reasons for them to get involved pretty much whenever and wherever they want to,” Rep. Eli Crane, R-Ariz., told reporters Tuesday.
“I hope that this body and the Senate continues to reject, push back, and stop this agreement and this push by this administration to sell our sovereignty to globalists,” Crane said….

The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective — a new world order — can emerge: A new era — freer from the threat of terror, stronger in the pursuit of justice and more secure in the quest for peace. An era in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony…”

“Some even believe we (the Rockefeller family) are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure – one world, if you will. If that’s the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it.”

“We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the work is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries.”
David Rockefeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.

The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debts.
Henry Ford
The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences.

The IMF and the World Bank, the most opaque and secretive entities, put millions into NGOs who fight against “corruption” and for “transparency.” They want the Rule of Law – as long as they make the laws. They want transparency in order to standardise a situation, so that global capital can flow without any impediment.

The United States has given frequent and enthusiastic support to the overthrow of democracy in favor of “investor friendly” regimes. The World Bank, IMF, and private banks have consistently lavished huge sums on terror regimes, following their displacement of democratic governments, and a number of quantitative studies have shown a systematic positive relationship between U.S. and IMF / World Bank aid to countries and their violations of human rights.

“The real trick is, in terms of trying to level off at someplace lower than that 9 billion, i

And that will determine the level at which humans will level off on earth.”
Bill Gates:
“The problem is that the population is growing the fastest where people are less able to deal with it.
So it’s in the very poorest places that you’re going to have a tripling in population by 2050. (…)

Food as a weapon: Bucharest, Rome and the politics of starvation
B Segal
PMID: 12307033
Abstract
PIP: At the convention of the World Food Conference, leaders of the underdeveloped nations hoped to press for changes in international trade relations while U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger
hoped to use the conference as a forum to link food shortages to overpopulation. Kissinger tried to put the blame for the food crisis on the oil producing nations and the “energy crisis” they brought about and made it clear that the U.S. no longer plans to provide most of the world’s food aid. The underdeveloped nations did not accept this. They still blame the crisis on the U.S., which they say controls more food than the fuel the oil producing nations control. The U.S. has historically used food as a tool of foreign policy, and with the increasing dependency of the U.S. on the raw supplies of the underdeveloped world, there is growing talk of using food to blackmail nations into adopting population control programs.
One such proposal came in Rome by former U.S. government official Richard Gardner, who suggested a “global survival pact” under which rich nations would conserve food, energy, and raw materials in return for commitments by Third World nations to change their suicidal demographic, agricultural and environmental practices. Another proposal was made by Congressman Jerry Litton who said he would introduce legislation banning food aid to any country with above average population growth and which was not doing anything to reduce it…..

“A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men.
The development of a long-term sterilizing capsule that could be implanted under the skin and removed when pregnancy is desired opens additional possibilities for coercive fertility control. The capsule could be implanted at puberty and might be removable, with official permission, for a limited number of births.”
