Brandon Smith has addressed an issue that is somewhat puzzling, why corporations who support woke, continue to do so, even when the policies lose vast sums of money? In the light of controversies, and conservative boycotts, some corporations have beat a tactical retreat, but indications are that woke policies have become part of their business DNA. And, as usual, the money trail is the one to follow.
Corporations today often get funding through ESG-style financing as well as DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs. The major financial lending corporations such as Blackrock, use lending as leverage to ensure that the social agenda is being followed through. And grassroots Leftist activists groups, get funded today not from selling communist literature, but from corporations, and organisations such as Soros’ Open Society Foundations. Yes, there is a globalist conspiracy, Smith observes: “Of course, some people will argue that this would require a level of organization and “conspiracy” that doesn’t exist. It would be “silly” to suggest that corporations are colluding to enact a plan to fundamentally upend the current economic paradigm, right? Wrong. At least in terms of coordination, the cabal has already openly announced its presence.” Now, the globalists, seeing their home run, are not even hiding in plain sight any more.
