Or how to effectively mess with your 401k

CSR means Corporate Social Responsibility, but we feel it's more correct as Communism & Socialism Rules.

Winston Churchill once observed: “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.” - Nick Nichols

U.S. Treasury fears Islamic strings on investments - Mar 07

The U.S. Treasury is struggling with how to handle any political or Islamic ramifications as Persian Gulf sovereign wealth funds look to make substantial investments in capital-poor American banks and securities firms.

The crisis in mortgage-backed securities has created a need for new capital to enter financial markets after major financial institutions such as Bear Stearns and Carlyle Capital Corp. failed over the weekend.

The crisis is an opportunity for sovereign wealth funds that have prospered as the price of oil has soared over $110 a barrel.

WND previously reported sovereign wealth funds in six Persian Gulf countries, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, have now amassed $1.7 trillion, positioning them for attempts to control major banks and securities firms in the U.S.

The question is whether political strings will come with the investment from the Islamic oil-rich states . . . read more

 

CSR and the Democratic Policies of the 2008 Elections. Get ready for hell!

CSR’s true agenda is to use corporations in order to thrust a liberal policy agenda on the country. Jarol Manheim documented this strategy in his 2004 book, “Biz-War and the Out-of-Power Elite”. Manheim illustrated that liberal ideologues, under the guise of CSR, waged an “anti-corporate campaign” with the sole purpose of using the corporate infrastructure to thrust the liberal political agenda on the country. The positions of the 2008 Democratic candidates are a testament to how successful this campaign has become.

Take global warming as an example. It is universally held by the Democratic candidates that the U.S. must adopt strict greenhouse gas emission requirements. Strict environmental regulations, which do not offset the adverse economic impacts from the policy, reduce overall economic growth and job creation. The U.S. Energy Information Agency (EIA) during the Clinton Administration estimated that overall economic growth could decline by up to 4.2 percent if a cap-and-trade system to achieve the Kyoto Protocol targets (7% below 1990 emissions by 2008-2012) were implemented . . . get your heads out of the clouds, read more!

Under mounting populist campaigns against them, corporations have followed the CSR script by accepting the environmentalists’ positions. For instance, USCAP is a “partnership” of environmental groups and a diverse group of leading corporations such as Alcoa, PepsiCo, General Electric, and AIG. USCAP supports “Mandatory approaches to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the major emitting sectors including emissions from large stationary sources, transportation, and energy use in commercial and residential buildings.” (www.uscap.org)

CSR: A Left-Wing Conspiracy Dressed Up As A Right-Wing Conspiracy?

I often wonder how the millions of people who have died from malaria would have voted if they had been given the chance to elect or reject the activist groups who systematically denied them access to mosquito-killing pesticides because they know what’s best for indigenous people. Or, how about the people who have been denied the benefits of running water, electric power, modern agriculture and, yes, the revenues from natural resources because these things just did not fit into the activists’ concept of sustainability and social responsibility? How would they vote if they had a choice?

The net-net of this spectacularly undemocratic process called CSR is that the activists are being aided and abetted by some business executives in their efforts to dictate business policies and expenditures based on their vision of what is sustainable, equitable and fair for the rest of us . . . read more

Corporate Social Responsibility: Picking 91 Million Pockets

Corporate executives are responsible for obeying laws and regulations. However, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) movement is all about business leaders spending company resources (a.k.a. other people’s money) on social and environmental programs that are not mandated by law.

It does not take an economics guru to conclude that diverting corporate assets away from activities that improve earnings endangers the financial wellbeing of millions of Americans. About half of American households own stock. So, the pocket books of more than 91 million of our fellow citizens are tied to the fortunes of publicly traded corporations. Every dollar that is shanghaied from corporate coffers represents a hidden levy on shareholders, undermining their financial prosperity.

Why would business titans embrace corporate socialism? Some have chosen appeasement in response to activist group pressure. Others have been duped by public relations snake oil peddlers who claim that jumping on the CSR bandwagon will protect a company from public attacks if something goes wrong.

It’s pure bunk . . . read more

 

Corporate Diversity Training!

Mass immigration from Third World nations, especially Spanish-speaking countries in the Western Hemisphere, effectively operates as a de facto affirmative-action hiring program, a reality the late Hugh Davis Graham explained in his book, "Collision Course: The Strange Convergence of Affirmative Action and Immigration Policy in America," (Oxford University Press, 2003).

Congress made this connection quite explicit back in 1990 when it created the "diversity lottery" visa. The program annually admits up to 50,000 persons to the U.S. originating from nations that have sent no more than 50,000 immigrants over the previous five years. By no coincidence, Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., an affirmative-action enthusiast without peer, led the charge for this piece of legislation.

In this context, it is quite understandable why major corporations have become fanatic about rooting out the tiniest hints of racial-ethnic bias from their respective organizations. It isn't simply that they want to avoid a Justice Department lawsuit. More to the point, they've come to accept the worldview of their Leftist tormentors. Peddling multiculturalism, of which Third World immigration is a variation, can render them as good corporate citizens, while providing a nearly inexhaustible supply of cheap labor . . . read more

 

Remember the Yugo?  How can you forget?

Remember the Yugo? How can you forget?

Well, CSR could help bring it back.

Can you believe there is a new trend in training our next generation of business CEOs that could bring products into your home build within the cost-cutting mentality of a Yugo?

If CSR takes over American business through approved courses taught by socialist professors at American universities, it will sadly put pressure on companies to become more concerned over meeting political correctness demands than producing the best product possible for consumer use. It will also rob investors of personal wealth, shedding off profits to individuals and social programs that had nothing to do with the innovation that was produced by others.

You might even be able to hear the sucking sound as budgets are pulled from critical new, corporate product research programs. Not only that, companies will need to raise the cost of their product to survive this new category of fixed costs to do business, passing higher prices to guess who? You!

And it can eventually cause western products to become less competitive in the marketplace of world ideas where former third-world countries have become today's major competitors. Whether you like it or not, a huge motivation for success and competition in a world market is going to be destroyed by these secular-progressive Democrat socialists, ones who are promoting CSR, a socialist movement that is not only anti-patriot in volunteering contributions to society, but guess what groups will now get assistance in a politically correct world, and guess which ones will not? **

Read the paragraph below and the hair should stand up on the back of your neck. Then click to read more about a movement that is starting to infect America's successful business world, one that had lead the nation as the top economic force on the globe.

In summary, CSR will push the West into decline as it overwhelms the business culture, and in turn assists Asian companies to rise even faster to become number one in the world's future economy. But sorry to say in Europe's and America's evolving anti-patriot and political correct societies, that may not be a bad thing in a Darwinian world environment where only the fittest survive. - Webmaster
