We are equal in all ways besides talent. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced that it will end its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs because they simply do not work. Faculty at MIT will no longer be required to attend race-based training or be screened for such during the hiring process.
MIT President Dr. Sally Kornbluth explained the obvious – looking at race alone does not attract the top candidates. Instead, it skews scores in favor of race, gender, or sexual orientation and the most qualified candidates are often overlooked due to reverse racism and open discrimination that is permitted toward majority groups.
“My goals are to tap into the full scope of human talent, to bring the very best to MIT, and to make sure they thrive once here,” Kornbluth said. “We can build an inclusive environment in many ways, but compelled statements impinge on freedom of expression, and they don’t work.”
DEI is akin to Affirmative Action on steroids. It permits the open discrimination of White and Asian straight males, plain and simple. This is another reason why we are seeing an outlash across US universities over the Palestine-Israel conflict of which they have no core understanding.
Bill Ackman wrote a piece on X that explains the situation well:
“I came to learn that the root cause of antisemitism at Harvard was an ideology that had been promulgated on campus, an oppressor/oppressed framework, that provided the intellectual bulwark behind the protests, helping to generate anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate speech and harassment. Then I did more research. The more I learned, the more concerned I became, and the more ignorant I realized I had been about DEI, a powerful movement that has not only pervaded Harvard, but the educational system at large. I came to understand that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was not what I had naively thought these words meant.”
The schools, funded by the left, are training school faculty that the majority population is inherently bad and privileged. They pass that message down to the impressionable kids who either walk away with a sense of entitlement or a savior complex as if anyone cares when it actually comes to business. The most qualified and intelligent people will succeed in the real world. This is the entire issue with Critical Race Theory (CRT) as well since they are brainwashing children from the time they are five years old to believe their sex, gender, or skin color somehow puts them on a social caste system in America.
DEI operates on exclusivity and not inclusivity as it champions the notion of entitlement for a select few and is simply unethical. It has become a political weapon that the left will not allow to be questioned. If we want society to advance, we must accept that those who work hard and are born with natural talent and intelligence will excel. Identity politics use tools like DEI initiatives to divide the people when our neighbor is not the enemy.

Debanking has become a major issue in recent years as institutions feel the current government gives them leeway to discriminate against customers based on their political beliefs. This is happening throughout the Western world. Most recently, fifteen attorneys general sent a letter to Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan about his bank’s “troubling financial pattern” of debanking Christians. “Bank of America has a track record of de-banking religious organizations,”the letter states, “
We are especially troubled by Bank of America’s track record of discriminating against religious ministries.” Bank of America has been banishing Christiansand Christian organizations from accessing their accounts for years without penalty.
Timothy of Two Project International founder Steve Curtis told Fox News about his experience with Bank of America. His organization trains Christian pastors in 65 countries, and has banked with BOA since 2011. Curtis said that one day in 2020, his card simply declined “out of the blue.” The bank said that his account would be restricted for three weeks before it was deactivated, but the bank failed to cite a reason for the closure. “We had people all over the world,” Curtis told reporters. “We travel a lot and we need these cards in the field. And so, it had the potential to be very disruptive for us,” he continued. The only answer he received was that his Christian organization was “engaged in a type of business that they had chosen not to service.”
Lance Wallnau, a Christian author and preacher, was falsely accused of money laundering and had his account frozen. Indigenous Advance Ministries, a Christian organization that cares for the poverty-stricken people of Uganda, was debanked by Bank of America in April 2023. A church in Memphis that donated to the organization was also debanked. Bank of America simply said that the business operated above the “bank’s risk tolerance” and it took months for the ministries to gain access to their funds.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects American citizens from blatant discrimination based on religion. If a bank were refusing to allow Hindus, Muslims, Jews, or any other religion from accessing their bank accounts, there would be civil unrest on the streets. The west permits the open persecution of Christians because 1) they do not want nations to have a united identiy (i.e. a Christian nation), 2) Christians tend to vote Conservative.
The corruption goes deeper. “In addition to the bank’s religious account closures and disregard for viewpoint diversity, we are also deeply concerned about recent revelations that Bank of America voluntarily shared its customers’ private financial data with the federal government as part of a wildly overbroad financial surveillance scheme intended to identify domestic terrorists,” the letter reads. The Biden Administration has asked banks to back to them regarding their political adversaries and their supporters.
On March 6, 2024, the House Select SubcommiEee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government found that “the federal government was engaged in broad financial surveillance, prying into the private transactions of American consumers. This surveillance “was not predicated on any specific evidence of particularized criminal conduct and, even worse, it keyed on terms and specific transactions that concerned core political and religious expression protected by the Constitution,”’ the audit found.
Banks were instructed to search transactions for keywords such as “Trump” and “MAGA” to look for “domestic terrorists.” They even asked banks to look for people who had purchased certain books such as religious texts. The federal government announced years ago without hesitation that the right-wing Conservatives are the biggest threat that they face, and they see you as the enemy. The federal government has an ongoing list of “hate groups” that includes Christian organizations simple because they do not agree with the far-left narrative.
This is serious. Banks now have the ability to financially ruin individuals and organizations without just cause, bypassing every protection awarded to us in the Constitution. It is not only legal but encouraged for banks to discriminate against Christians and conservatives.
Imagine how much easier this will be once we move to digital currency under CBDC and the government can see our transactions in real-time, debanking anyone who they feel does not fall in line.
Wells Fargo is also under investigation for similar discriminatory practices. Both are members of the UN-backed Net-Zero Banking Alliance that aims to financially jeopardize anyone not adhering to the climate change agenda. Over 144 banks in 44 different countries with total assets of $74 trillion have joined this alliance.
Major banking institutions have been weaponized by the government. More attention needs to be paid to this insurmountable issue as the banks now have the authority to search an individual’s transactions and label them a domestic terrorist. The rule of law has been completely abandoned in America – this is no longer the land of the free.
Attached is a PDF file that is explaining how we have gotten to the point that a Third World War is very likely. The blame for this resides in Klaus Schwab who created the World Economic Form (WEF) in 1971. Schwab has written two books on his theories which are a cross on Marxism and Technocracy which will be explained in the attached paper. His first book published in 2016 was The Fourth Industrial Revolution and the second published in 2020 was COVID-19: The Great Reset. In this book Klaus has the help of Thierry Malleret a French economist. Klaus and is associates have since 1971 has taken over the European Union (EU) as his followers now hold most if not all key EU positions. The WEF and the US neocons would Love for what is show below to happen in 2024.
Klaus and his supporters believe that only “technical” people are capable of ruling us. Because only people with degrees in science, engineering economics and medicine to name a few and the intelligence and know how to properly rule us. His long term goal is Trans-humanism, which is the belief that “WE” can be uploaded into an danced computer and therefor live forever. I have background in the fields need to do this if it was possible and my option is Klaus is dreaming. The attached book is a free download and the one that is attached here is a “Version 01” and there will be new uploads of this book as justified by new data and research.
The image below is the cover for the book I am writing. It reflects the world that Klaus & Gates want to create. As you can see he lives in the Utopian upper city and we live in the Primitive Serf/slave lower city.
This is the world that the world elites want to make for you!

BlackRock finally admitted that their ESG policies in the name of shareholder capitalism have been bad for business. “BlackRock’s business, scale and investments subject it to significant media coverage and increasing attention from a broad range of stakeholders,” the company stated in it’s annual filing with the SEC. “This heightened scrutiny has resulted in negative publicity and adverse actions for BlackRock and may continue to do so in the future.” In other words, “go woke, go broke.” So what does this mean for shareholder capitalism?
BlackRock is now saying it will not put Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum ahead of shareholders. The shared values they wrongly assumed the public would embrace have backfired. “Any perceived or actual action or lack thereof, or perceived lack of transparency, by BlackRock on matters subject to scrutiny, such as ESG, may be viewed differently by various stakeholders and adversely impact BlackRock’s reputation and business, including through redemptions or terminations by clients, and legal and governmental action and scrutiny,” the filing continued.
As a recap, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) pushes the CEI (Corporate Equality Index), a company’s social woke credit score. The Open Society Foundation, operated by the Soros family, funds the HRC. The ESG promotes a company’s green social credit score, has been pushed by Western governments and the World Economic Forum, and takes into account climate issues in addition to obscuring societal norms.
This will change the landscape of ESG policies as BlackRock alone has $700 billion invested in such initiatives. In December 2023, the House Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas to BlackRock and State Street as part of an investigation into the firms’ promotion of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals to determine if it violated antitrust laws. BlackRock and others have barred businesses that did not adhere to ESG standards, denying them professional opportunities and overseeing that any company wishing to be affiliated with BlackRock adhere to ESG standards.
BlackRock is defying Washington and the World Economic Forum with this decision to move away from the green credit score. The first bill that President Joe Biden vetoed was a bill intended to dissolve the ESG climate social credit score, which was only foreshadowing the policies that later came about, most notably the Inflation Reduction Act that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen admitted was intended to combat climate change. He also immediately blocked the Keystone Pipeline and removed America’s ability to remain an energy independent nation. Out of all the issues facing America, Biden chose to use his presidential powers to set the groundwork to create the need for a Great Reset to Build Back Better.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink supported Biden’s veto and used his company to back Schwab’s vision for a socialistic economy. GOP donors held a conference in March 2023 in which they asked the panel: “Who’s more important: shareholders or stakeholders? Is the ‘stakeholder capitalism’ being sold by Larry Fink and other investors really stakeholder politics?” Fink responded to critics by claiming BlackRock was not the “environmental police” and it was the government’s responsibility to impose far left woke policies. Yet, Fink admitted in his notorious letter, “A Sense of Purpose,” that he believed it was the responsibility of the private sector to implement policies since government had failed to do so. He was speaking on behalf of Klaus Schwab.
In December 2019, Schwab announced plans for reshaping capitalism into something that does not remotely resemble capitalism through the use of the ESG system. “[To] uphold the principles of stakeholder capitalism, companies will need new metrics. For starters, a new measure of “shared value creation” should include “environmental, social, and governance” (ESG) goals as a complement to standard financial metrics. Fortunately, an initiative to develop a new standard along these lines is already underway, with support from the “Big Four” accounting firms and led by the chairman of the International Business Council, Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan.”
In January 2022, Fink sent a letter to the CEOs of companies he has invested in, reminding them of Klaus Schwab’s Agenda 2030. He stated:
“When my partners and I founded BlackRock as a startup 34 years ago, I had no experience running a company. Over the past three decades, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with countless CEOs and to learn what distinguishes truly great companies. Time and again, what they all share is that they have a clear sense of purpose; consistent values; and, crucially, they recognize the importance of engaging with and delivering for their key stakeholders. This is the foundation of stakeholder capitalism.
Stakeholder capitalism is not about politics. It is not a social or ideological agenda. It is not “woke.” It is capitalism, driven by mutually beneficial relationships between you and the employees, customers…”
The concept of stakeholder capitalism was introduced back in 1932, leading to the worst economic performance in history. Milton Friedman stepped in and declared corporations are not to use shareholders’ funds for their personal charities. Schwab states that Milton Friedman “neglected the fact that a publicly listed corporation is not just a profit-seeking entity but also a social organism.”
The entire takeover boom of the 1980s took place because you could buy a company, sell its assets, and double or triple your money. As long as companies were concerned only about Stakeholder Economics, investment in US shares was tainted. This is what Schwab wants to restore – corporate socialism.
The “Davos Manifesto” claims that “companies should pay their fair share of taxes, show zero tolerance for corruption, uphold human rights throughout their global supply chains, and advocate for a competitive level playing field – particularly in the “platform economy.” Schwab was banking on three main points to support ESG intiatives: 1) the “Greta Thunberg” effect, 2) younger generations supporting left leaning policies, and 3) investors believing that social policies would be beneficial for their investments.
Thunberg’s time in the spotlight has come to an end. Her dire warnings of the world ending did not come to fruition. Schwab said that Millennials and Gen Z would not “want to work for, invest in, or buy from companies that lack values beyond maximizing shareholder value.” Well, those generations can barely afford basic living necessities, let alone invest in a meaningful way. He underestimated the intelligence of the youth as they are not all blindly backing socialistic policies, regardless of how intensely the education system attempts to mold their minds into believing capitalism is evil. Most importantly, investors can see the ROI on their ESG-linked investments and they’re NOT pleased. The people have been speaking with their assets and removing them from corporations that support failed woke policies.
BlackRock has admitted that woke policies are bad for business, but they are still aiming for the Great Reset. We will soon see how BlackRock handles the impossible balance of pleasing both Schwab and shareholders. Stakeholder capitalism is nothing more than Marxism in sheep’s clothing and will always result in failure.

QUESTION: Can you elaborate on 2024 being the year from hell with elections everywhere? We all know about Trump and Putin. Is the rest of the world going nuts as well?
Jeff
ANSWER: Oh, I would say that is a fair statement about the entire world. Pakistan is perhaps the role model for Biden. The general election has been postponed until February – or perhaps later. Imran Khan, a former president they put in prison, has warned that the election risk there is just another political farce. Of course, the champion of freedom fighting for Democracy, the totally corrupt President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, was trying to imprison his opponent and his predecessor, Petro O. Poroshenko, and had the ultimate excuse – postponing all elections until he defeated Russia, which is not even possible.
It will be interesting to see if the EU starts to collapse. European Council President Charles Michel will run as a candidate for the European election in 2024. This will present a bit of CRISIS to fill a top diplomatic position. EU leaders must then quickly appoint a successor for his vacated Council post or face a dilemma. Hungary takes over the rotating presidency of the Council in July. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been fighting against creating World War III and this endless support of Ukraine, which is losing badly. Orban could fulfill the role of Council president if EU members do not quickly agree on a candidate. Given the conflict they have with Hungary, this is going to be a real test of the EU. February has been showing as a Panic Cycle, and May remains the big target. This may be the real conflict for the EU.
Bangladesh is going through its tyranny as well. The voting took place amid a boycott by the main opposition. When we look at the country, the same tyranny is unfolding. Bangladesh is becoming a one-party state dominated by Sheikh Hasina for the 5th term. They are starting to call her the Iron Lady.
One of the key elections will be in Taiwan. Beware, January 13th could prove to be an unlucky day for an election that could impact the world. Lai Ching-te is the deputy to President Tsai Ing-wen and a fellow member of the independence-minded Democratic Progressive Party. He is leading in the polls right now. Lai is the candidate most likely to provoke tension with China, and the people seem to think the US will send troops to defend them at all costs. Indeed, China has named him the “destroyer of peace.” Looking at the Array, we had a double-Directional Change for 2024, and it appears to be a reversal of the uptrend into 2026.
In South Africa, the African National Congress will most likely lose its majority for the first time since apartheid ended. There have been rolling blackouts since 2007, which has increased ever since 2020. This has boosted support for various movements proposing Cape independence since 2009.

Wikipedia has degenerated into nothing but a government propaganda avenue. Here was their definition of a woman with the photograph of the transgender Rachel Levine, Biden’s 17th Assistant Secretary of Health. Apparently, this offended so many that Wikipedia removed this page and replaced it with the following. The mere fact that they used Levin’s photo for the DEFINITION of a woman is just astonishing. A biological woman is no longer a woman. As I have said, in Thailand, the sex change capital of the world, they simply call themselves Ladyboys. They do not demand that they be called a woman, so there is no longer a definition of a woman. The fact that Wikipedia did this shows its hidden agenda and why universities now tell students they cannot use Wikipedia as a source for research papers. DO NOT DONATE ANYTHING TO WIKIPEDIA – They are no longer a valid independent source to be trusted, especially about anything that has a political implication.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary wants the people to know that the European Union is controlled by the globalists. His government has begun a campaign to explain this message, placing billboards depicting European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen with Open Society Foundations heir Alex Soros.“Let’s not dance to their tunes,” one billboard stated.
There are also signs showing Open Society found George Soros with Jean-Claude Juncker, showing that the globalists have had their grip on the European Union since its creation. European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen is allegedly unphased by the advertisements, for she knows they are true. Alex Soros proudly declared that he is more political than his father and plans to influence worldwide governments with billions in funding.
Orban does not want to leave the EU, but he does want to change the organization and insists other European countries “must say no to the current Europe model built in Brussels.” Orban has been in a quarrel with the EU after they blocked billions in euros due to his administration’s policies. Orban does not want to send additional aid to Ukraine, insisting the money is needed at home. Furthermore, he opposes inviting Ukraine to join the EU. “Correcting the mistaken promise (by Brussels) to start talks (with Ukraine about EU membership) will also be our task, as Ukraine is light years away from the EU now,” Orban said.
