goretsky Dec 25 Just saw Santa Claus enter U.S. airspace on @NoradSanta —hope this doesn’t get their account banned for providing assassination coordinates. <<< Professor Rat - about a minute ago NORAD may have Lyme Disease as an excuse for Clause but what’s the NASA’s ( and STIFFS dotcom's ) excuse for MUSK? BTW - now we're at war with the CHEKA its a good time to kill all known red-fascists. John Young. James Donald. Tariq Ali. John Pilger. All the known ' commissar's '. Death to Marxist-Communism. Send a message to China, etc.

It may be hard to imagine that ESG, now a hotly debated topic in American politics, traces its roots back to a former UK tabloid reporter and a 45-minute meeting in a fifth-floor office in Geneva (United Nations).

There, he and a small team of United Nations staffers coined in 2004 what’s now become one of the most controversial acronyms in finance. Their aim was to get investors and bankers to weigh key risks such as the earth’s rising temperatures, labor disputes and corporate malfeasance, and determine their impact on profits. Using the language of the capital markets — risks and opportunities — ESG was meant to pivot away from socially responsible investing and appeal to Wall Street. But then ESG morphed into a label that was everywhere, and it came to mean different things to different people. The three letters were added to stock funds, bond issues, corporate ratings and Wall Street derivatives worth trillions of dollars, creating confusion and disagreement that left the acronym vulnerable to attack. First, industry insiders criticized environmental, social and governance investing claims for being little more than a marketing gimmick. Regulators were next to crack down on money managers making hollow claims. And then the Republican onslaught began, with US presidential hopefuls saying ESG is something peddled by “left-wing radicals,” while states including Florida pulled money from BlackRock, Wall Street’s biggest ESG proponent. With the backlash reaching fever pitch, sustainable investors called for a course correction. Others sounded the death knell for the acronym. Bemused by the assault is Paul Clements-Hunt (pictured here), who led the UN team that created the ESG label more than 18 years ago. He said the attacks on their invention are in fact a “good thing.” Rather than being upset, he said he’s decided to “relax and enjoy the warring parties attack and defend ESG in equal measure.” Read our interview with him about the future of ESG at the link in our bio or visit: bloomberg.com/green 📷: Jose Sarmento Matos/Bloomberg View all 8 comments

I wrote the first magazine piece about Bitcoin, the first print magazine piece anyway. I saw it at the time as part of this phenomenon of this cypherpunk movement of people trying to use crypto tools way back when crypto meant cryptography to evade government surveillance. . .

Repression of cypherpunks as a core issue for cypherpunks
by professor rat 26 Dec '22

26 Dec '22

Repression of cypherpunks tells us a lot and is something we have to pay attention to as it could become an existential issue. Even repression of the cypherpunk adjacent as per Phil Zimmerman. Repression of a games company ( the Hacker Crackdown ) told us the SS were paranoid about e-gold. The NSA threat against Bidzos over certs told us they were paranoid about RSA. The crypto ' munitions ' lawfare saga - and all this even before we got to Jim and Carl and I being arrested and imprisoned over list-related allegations. Lack of repression also tells us a lot - that there haven't been any more APster cases since 2002 tells me we're winning - despite all the ' Govcorp ' conspiracy theory still pushed here by the Semich imbecile types ( Gramps and Juan Garofalo ) Since I follow these issues so closely I assessed the time had come for the hunters to become the hunted as early as anyone else here barring CJ and Jim. Attack as best defense - now we can repress all police agents from anywhere. Even Space X. Yes?
