🚨 @BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, @Unilever CEO Alan Jope and one of the UN's ESG Czars Damilola Ogunbiyi just spoke on an ESG panel, led by Bill Clinton, at the Clinton Global Initiative's September meeting.
You can't make this stuff up. Clips incoming.
(thread 🧵)
Bill Clinton praises @BlackRock CEO Larry Fink for being one of the main drivers of the ESG agenda:
Former President Bill Clinton and @BlackRock CEO Larry Fink label anyone that opposes ESG as "climate change deniers."
Clinton: "Talk to audience about equitable access to clean energy..."
UN ESG Czar: "When we think about a just and equitable energy transition, we can't think of one half of the world and leave out the developing countries..."
Bill Clinton and @Unilever CEO Alan Jope discuss how Unilever is putting the ESG agenda ahead of their fiduciary duty to shareholders:
"It's not a great place to be selling food or personal care products when you're under water or on fire..."
.@BlackRock CEO Larry Fink reiterates his new ESG talking point, claiming "climate risk is investment risk."
.@BlackRock CEO Larry Fink claims that ESG driving energy prices higher is actually a positive because it shrinks the "green premium."
.@BlackRock CEO Larry Fink calls to "change the charters" of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, along with bringing together "all governments" to facilitate his global ESG transition:
.@Unilever CEO Alan Jope cites George Orwell in discussing the "climate emergency" and "anti-woke backlash."
.@Unilever CEO Alan Jope ADMITS @BlackRock was one of the main drivers helping them pushing their ESG agenda:
.@Unilever CEO Alan Jope calls to make ESG ratings mandatory:
When asked by Bill Clinton about where the money is going to come from to facilitate a global ESG transition, one of the UN's ESG Czars said:
"Just like how we found $17 trillion for COVID, the money must be there somewhere..."

Today, a seismic shift has happened in the antitrust case brought against the ESG asset manager cartel of @BlackRock, @StateStreet, and @Vanguard_Group.
@Vanguard_Group is admitting defeat, agreeing to settle the lawsuit brought by a coalition of State Attorneys General, led by @KenPaxtonTX.
As part of the settlement they will pay $30 million in fines, turn over all documents related to their coordinated ESG activism, and end all ESG activism for years to come.
This is a massive win. The reckoning is here.
This settlement with Vanguard is a major blow to the ESG asset manager cartel that sets the stage for more to come.
The Attorneys General sought and got long overdue accountability and a massive course correction from Vanguard.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink should be extremely worried about what could be uncovered next, and who's going to fold next.
If State Street folds and admits defeat as well, he will be left on an island on his own.
Find the full settlement, courtesy of @KenPaxtonTX's office here:
Seeing a lot of folks say $30M isn't enough to mean anything…
Lemme drop some whitepills 👇
In these types of cases, the first one to settle and agree to cooperate against the other defendants always gets the best deal, which means $30M just became the bare minimum for the other two.
This is also the first time ANY firm has been made financially accountable for costing consumers with ESG, so this opens the door to A LOT more lawsuits.
Lastly, every Compliance Department in Wall Street following this case with rapt attention.
I know this because NetZero Bankers Alliance and NetZero Asset Managers crumbled weeks after this suit was FILED.
@USChamber The modern @USChamber shares almost no resemblance to the vision laid out by Taft.
It no longer acts as voice for business, instead it acts as voice for the radical left — using its power to force businesses into compliance with far-left dictates.
🚨 The @SierraClub — one of the left's favorite climate extremist groups — is ramping up its woke efforts with a new Acting Executive Director.
Meet activist Loren Blackford 🧵👇
Blackford says that “clean energy” has been a passion for her since an early age.
Since then, she has been committed to the radical climate agenda, including bolstering the “clean energy transition” and, in her own words, trying to “save our democracy.”
In 2012, Blackford bragged about transitioning “as much of [the Sierra Club’s] portfolio as possible to asset managers” aligned with a radical climate agenda and ESG metrics.
She touts a major victory for the Sierra Club was convincing investors that coal was a “bad investment.”
🚨Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney — one of the biggest proponents of the ESG agenda globally — is about to leave his fingerprints all over rural Arkansas.
Carney, who once ran Brookfield Corporation’s green energy division, still has millions tied up in the firm’s stock.
Now Brookfield is pushing a massive wind project in Arkansas — against the will of the people.👇
The developer behind the project? Scout Clean Energy.
Scout is a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. — which is majority controlled by Brookfield Corporation.
That’s the same Brookfield Carney helped steer, with a specific focus on ESG and climate investment schemes. financialpost.com/news/economy/s…
Local residents aren’t just unhappy — they voted to ban new commercial wind and solar projects altogether earlier this year.
But because Brookfield-backed Scout already inked contracts before the vote, they’re ramming this through anyway. arktimes.com/arkansas-blog/…
SCOOP: @StateStreet is letting an inexperienced radical progressive activist run their multi-trillion dollar voting machine.
Her background? Not finance.
Her agenda? Not subtle.
Meet Holly Fetter ⬇️
Holly is Head of Asset Stewardship for the Americas at @StateStreet.
Translation: she tells companies how “woke” they need to be — or else State Street will vote against them.
This is ESG enforcement in action.
Holly landed the job basically right out of Harvard Business School, where she studied “reimagining capitalism” and said she was reminded of the “deep connections between capitalism and slavery.”
This isn’t a portfolio manager. It’s an activist with a proxy card.
Most people know Mark Carney as the guy who ran Canada’s and then England’s Central Bank.
Now, he’s Prime Minister of Canada...
But, what almost no one is talking about is what he did in between: he quietly built the most powerful climate finance cartel in the world.
🧵👇
From 2020 – 2024, Carney wasn't just giving speeches or sitting on boards. He founded and co-led the “Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero” (GFANZ).
It’s the global enforcement arm of the Net Zero agenda — a cartel of banks, insurers, and asset managers.
The goal of GFANZ?
Using private financial institutions to force both companies and entire countries into compliance with the Net Zero agenda.
No debate. No votes. Just top down pressure — using your bank, your pension, and your insurance policy to advance this agenda.
