Republican state officials are readying plans to punish woke banks that push anti-fossil fuel policies and adhere to so-called environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards [dictatorship].
West Virginia announced last week it would bar five major financial institutions from entering into banking contracts with the state treasurer’s office or any state agency. It will include BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan.
Fox Business reports that each of the five corporations had committed to policies limiting commercial engagement with the fossil fuel industry, which paid $769 million in taxes to West Virginia’s state government. They are establishing an economic dictatorship. The problem with ESG is that unscrupulous authoritarians can control and manipulate investors.
“We’re not going to pay for our own destruction; we’re not going to subsidize that,” West Virginia State Treasurer Riley Moore told FOX Business during an interview. “They have weaponized our tax dollars against the very people and industry that have generated them to begin with. That is why we’re pushing back against this ESG movement.”
“We’ve really seen, frankly, a weaponization of capital by some of the largest banks and fund managers in the world,” Derek Kreifels, the CEO of the State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF), told FOX Business. “If you want to make social change in this country, we have a democratic process that you should utilize to get that done.”
The ESGers want to destroy fossil fuels, getting the peasants out of cars and single-family homes and off computers. They want a dependent, obedient populace.
In addition to Texas, state financial officers in Kentucky, Oklahoma, Florida, South Carolina, Arizona, Louisiana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas, and North Dakota said they would take or consider action against banks that boycott energy companies. Kentucky and Oklahoma, like Texas, are compiling lists as recently passed state laws require.
ESG and inflation.

Republicans need to simply legislate ESG consideration in business as being a direct conflict with fiduciary responsibility and companies found doing it are subject to civil suits.
Once this is done pro freedom groups can fund individual ibis suits and class actions with crushing awards.
Saving America – one state at a time. Hopefully Lee Zelden will be our next governor here in the State of New York.
Red States have a lot of Economic Power. Conservatives just need to use it.
It’s time to say NO!!! It is time to stop supporting those who would destroy us. Credit the these states that refuse to feed the elitist monsters.
