Barrier to Entry
June 11, 2023 Leave a comment
“In 1982 there was a crisis. A depraved madman had laced many Tylenol capsules with potassium cyanide. The ensuing deaths and shock at such a malicious and evil act swiftly brought an industry and FDA forces to action and together started enforcing strict guidelines for tamper-evident packaging.”
What is Tamper-Resistant Packaging?
By now, June 2023, you are used to tamper-proof and tamper-resistant packaging making packaging physically harder to open. Current regulations require that all OTC human drug products be packaged in tamper-resistant packaging. Requirements of the tamper-resistant packaging (TRP) regulations covering most OTC products were published by FDA in the FEDERAL REGISTER of November 5, 1982.
Per the Code of Federal Regulations CFR § 211.132 :
“A tamper-evident package is one having one or more indicators or barriers to entry which, if breached or missing, can reasonably be expected to provide visible evidence to consumers that tampering has occurred.”
If you have children, you are also aware that . . .
“Child-resistant (C-R) packaging, also referred to as “special packaging,” is used to reduce the risk of poisoning in children via the ingestion of potentially hazardous items including certain prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, pesticides, and household chemicals.”
Child-Resistant Packaging | Consumer Healthcare Products Association (chpa.org)
“Barriers to entry” promote product safety, i.e., no disastrous events, and the integrity of the product, i.e., quality control.
In 2021 there was a crisis. Depraved madmen began lacing humans with mRNA-altering-aborted-fetal-cell permeated vaccines. Tampering with human subjects had occurred.
The clinical trials for the mRNA jabs were shut down after two months. The FDA approved the mRNA jabs even though long-term risks and complications hadn’t been properly assessed. The ensuing deaths and lack of shock at such a malicious and evil act swiftly brought an industry and FDA forces to action and together they doubled down and began recommending boosters shots, shots for pregnant women and shots for children. (The effects of the vaccines are being properly assessed now by others not tied to Pfizer and Big Pharma.)
The Biden regime mandated the COVID-19 vaccination tampering for a large swath of the American workforce who told to take the jab or wear a mask and be continually tested. If you were in the military, you were told to take the jab or be relieved from duty. Religious exemptions were not allowed.
(In 2021 I worked for a major engineering company that was a federal contractor. The Biden regime mandated via OSHA that any federal contractor with over 100 employees had to impose the jab on their employees or make them wear a mask and be continually tested. I put in a religious exemption. I would not take the jab or wear a mask or be tested. I didn’t want to be tampered with. My company wisely allowed me and others to work from home.)
Remember the concerted push to break through the barrier to entry, the tamper resistance, so that humans could be laced with the untested mRNA-altering-aborted-human-fetal-cell permeated vaccine?
We agree based on trial that a “barrier to entry” promotes product safety, i.e., no disastrous events, and it promotes the integrity of the product, i.e., quality control for OTC medicines, household chemicals and food products. But what about “barriers to entry” to protect the life and integrity of the nation and its citizenry beyond packaging? What about “barriers to entry” that protect Americans from anyone wanting to tamper with America?
For the common good, shouldn’t there be a barrier to entry at our southern border? Why is our southern border porous? Why is the Biden regime lacing our country with fentanyl that poisons and kills Americans? Why did the Biden regime end rapid DNA testing at the border? Why was this “barrier to entry”, which protected immigrant children from abuse, removed?
And why is the Biden regime allowing in the criminal element from other countries? Why is the safety of Americans and integrity of America being tampered with? Because depraved madmen – globalists all – want to lace our country with low-cost workers (and supposed Democrat voters) and with immigrant women and children to be used for sex trafficking. Because depraved madmen do not care about the safety of American citizens nor about the integrity of the U.S.
Why are our children being tampered with in public schools? Because depraved madmen want to lace our children with poisonous indoctrination. Because depraved madmen want to break through the parental “barrier of entry” that protects children from all manner of societal evil. Because depraved madmen want to groom children and traffic them for sex. Because depraved madmen want them to grow up and become useful idiots for the gospels of CRT and climate change.
Why are the Biden regime and many of our representatives willing to turn over U.S. sovereignty, a “barrier of entry” that protects our nation’s integrity, to the World health Organization and the World Economic Forum? Because they are depraved madmen who want to lace Americans with the poison of a New World Order. Depraved madmen will forcibly break through any tamper resistance to their ideological programs.
Tell me. Are you hearing anything in the media or from your representatives about the coming National Digital Health ID being implemented by the Federal Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology? It looks like the “barrier of entry” to our health privacy will be smashed even though the HIPPA Security Rule defines “confidentiality” to mean that e-PHI (electronic protected health information”) is not available or disclosed to unauthorized persons. Depraved madmen want their way with you.

Tell me. Are you hearing anything in the media or from your representatives about the World Economic Forum pushing digital ID systems (built on the premise that certain entities need to know who they are dealing with)?
Most U.S. Citizens have no idea of what is being tampered with under the guise of public health safety and “for a new era of global responsibility and cooperation”? Why are these things not talked about openly? Why are these things off of the radar of our representatives?
Why do our representatives in Congress protect everything except our Bill of Rights? Our right to privacy? Our right to free speech? Our freedoms? Our Constitution?
What I’ve learned over 70 years and especially since 2020 is that you cannot trust the government, the media, many judges, and some political candidate to maintain our Constitution’s “barrier to entry” that protects our free speech, our privacy, our due process, and our freedoms. Each of these has had their integrity “barrier to entry” broken through. They are all compromised. But these must know, in no uncertain terms, that you will not be compromised, that you will not be tampered with.
Here’s Christine Anderson, a member of the European Parliament, with words you must heed:
Tell your representatives by email, letter and phone repeatedly that you want nothing to do with the following:
–Environmental and social governance (ESG) for your state’s finances. (I told my retirement funds financial consultant that I do not want any of my funds invested in any ESG funds. She said that many of the clients have stated the same thing.)
–Digital currency replacing physical currency
–A National Digital Health ID System
–The World Health Organization. Trump had pulled us out of WHO control, and the Biden regime put the U.S. back under WHO’s thumb. Tell your rep that you want the U.S. out from the WHO.
–The World Economic Forum (Dear God, save us from elites – “omnipotent moral busybodies”.)
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” – C. S. Lewis
As individuals within a family, a church, and a community, we must become Tamper-proof and Tamper-resistant. Say “NO!” to digital IDs, to digital currency, to the WHO, and to the WEF. So “NO!” to the media – turn it off. (I stream Home – Real America’s Voice News (americasvoice.news) for the signal, not the noise.)
We must not become porous, letting in the lacing influences of depraved men. Depraved men? G.K. Chesterton makes it clear: “Take away the supernatural and what remains is the unnatural.”
We must champion freedom of choice and bodily autonomy.
We must champion parental rights (we do not co-parent with the government).
We must champion and protect data privacy – health, financial, location, etc. – no matter how much pressure is forced upon us to break through privacy’s “barrier to entry” with the ploys of public health safety and a climate change crisis. Resist. Resist. Resist.
2023 and there is a crisis. Depraved madmen are attempting to lace our lives with their madness. Be the barrier to entry.

I believe the main reason for the lies about the novel virus is a desire for total predictability and control, with the clearly articulated intention of transforming society; beginning by dismantling the financial system through lockdowns and furlough, while the immediate practical goal of lockdown was to provide the causus belli for injecting as many people as possible with materials designed not to induce immunity, but to demand repeat inoculation, to cause injury and death, and to control freedom of movement. I’m sure they’re pretty content with getting at least one needle into 6,000,000,000 people. . . .
As I always say, I cannot know much for sure. I don’t have a copy of the script of this, the greatest crime in history. But, whatever Covid actually is, I don’t believe that what was called influenza disappeared conveniently in early 2020. It’s another lie. It’s what they do. It’s all they do. –Dr Mike Yeadon

Don’t ESG On Me
June 18, 2023 Leave a comment
“As you know in fashion, one day you’re in. And the next day, you’re out.”
If you have watched “Project Runway” then you’ve seen a small elite group of fashionistas evaluating who’s in and who’s out based on which design and designer aligns with their values. A runway is used to showcase contestant’s designs, designs created within a strict set of rules and with a limited budget and time. When I recently reviewed environmental, social, and governance (ESG) scoring, the above saying and Lifetime’s design competition came to mind – as Project ESG.
Project ESG contestants are scored by select groups as to whether their organization operates within a strict set of guidelines that align with their values. Project ESG also has runways: main street and financial statements.
“Project Runway” contestants are scored based on their creative flair, good structuring, demonstrating diversity in design skills, and the sustainability of their designs -conforming to, attuned to, or characterized by the latest trends in fashion.
How Project ESG Contestants are Scored
“Environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, is a type of financial investing where factors beyond financial considerations are considered. Companies are scored by fund managers based on varying, and undefined factors.
The environmental perspective includes anything that contributes to carbon emissions and climate change, such as energy, water, and waste management, ventilation/air quality, materials sourcing and management, and supply chain management.
The social perspective addresses the relationships and reputation a company has with its stakeholders, such as employee engagement, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, human rights and community relations, and labor practices.
The governance perspective is the internal system of practices, controls, and procedures that a company uses to govern/manage itself, such as business model resilience, risk management, legal and regulatory compliance, due diligence, and meeting external stakeholders’ needs.”
Sustainability, ESG And ISO Are Key To A Competitive Strategy | CGBC (cgbusinessconsulting.com)
“A credit score communicates a consumer’s ability to pay back debt. A bond rating provides context for an issuer’s ability to meet financial commitments and avoid default. Similarly, an ESG risk score gauges a company’s performance on ESG issues and exposure to ESG-related risks. They are calculated against a set of ESG metrics and may be expressed on a number scale or through a letter ranking system. . . (Emphasis mine.)
ESG contestants are scored on ESG issues which span everything from cybersecurity to climate change to diversity, equity, and inclusion . . .
Organizations with a good ESG score are thought to be better equipped to anticipate future risks and opportunities, more inclined to longer-term strategic thinking and to prioritize long-term value creation over short-term gains. As such, the consequences of a substandard score can be momentous.”
–ESG Scores and Ratings: What They Are, Why They Matter
(Prioritizing long-term “value creation”? Whose values are being prioritized?)
Project ESG Scorekeepers
An industry of ESG “raters” has sprung up to rate companies’ Project ESG bona fides.
“Producers of ESG scores are varied, just as the types of ESG scores are. Nevertheless, we can categorize them based on the nature of their organization:
-NGOs. Carbon Disclosure Project is an example of an NGO that produces ESG scores.
-Financial services firms. Bloomberg, MSCI, FTSE Russell and S&P Global are examples of financial services firms that publish ESG scores.
Companies have also started producing ESG scorecards for themselves.”

Every rating agency, irrespective of whether they are issue-specific, category-specific or general, uses a similar methodology.

As mentioned above, Project ESG scoring occurs when the contestant’s designs walk the runway. Showcasing LGBTQ+ deisgns on the main street runway is one in-your-face way to improve a Project ESG score. The bulk of Project ESG’s points, located on financial statements, are noticed by accountants and the suppliers of capital, loans and credit lines, i.e., Big Banks.
If you offer your company’s stock publicly you are impacted by accounting standards. The SEC directs that your financial statements reflect ESG disclosures to investors and the capital markets, including climate-related disclosures of climate risks among other risks.
Propelled by the planetary emergency and the drive for transparency, global sustainability reporting standards and ESG disclosure regulations are coming. Boards and C-suites should prepare now, and could find new opportunities to create value.

Heads Up — Do ESG Matters Affect Accounting and Financial Reporting Today? (May 26, 2021) | DART – Deloitte Accounting Research Tool
Why Not Project ESG?
Why oppose Project ESG when environmentalism, climate change, and social justice are some of the criteria on which a judgment can be made on a corporation contestant?
Why oppose Project ESG when it’s said to foster in its contestants an increasing focus on corporate purpose, accountability and operational resilience and strengthens environmental, social and governance?
Why oppose Project ESG when it’s not a competition platform but rather a platform where contestants are eliminated based on “progressive” challenges posed to them?
There’s more to Project ESG than meets the eye.
Here’s what Heartland Institute Research Fellow Jack McPherrin and others at Heartland have to say:
“At its core, ESG is a social credit scoring system that ideologically aligned elites and subservient bureaucratic authorities have developed to “reset” the global financial system to their advantage, fundamentally transforming society in the process. This is accomplished by altering traditional frameworks of evaluating businesses and assessing investment risk.
“Rather than determining the creditworthiness and value of a business or industry based upon objective measures such as profit, return on investment, consumer demand, and other material performance measures, ESG’s architects seek to judge entities based upon subjective and difficult to quantify social and environmental goals. These objectives typically have little or nothing to do with business success in the marketplace based on consumer demand expressed through their purchases.” (Emphasis mine.)
And, with regard to his well-researched paper documenting ESG’s becoming “one of the gravest threats facing the free societies of the world today.”, Jack McPherrin writes
“ESG is an insidious threat to individual freedom and economic progress, as this important paper explains. ESG efforts threaten everyone’s retirement, their ability to obtain and maintain credit, and even to have bank accounts and do business with banks. A cabal of political and financial elites are using social credit scoring in the form of ESG to enforce docile acceptance of the progressive social and economic goals they favor.” (Emphasis mine.)
One major aspect of Project ESG program that has driven many away is the matter of return on investment (ROI). Investors want a positive return from their shareholdings and not losses, e.g. KSS, TGT, BUD, produced by highly subjective elements that Project ESG scoring dictates. Investors have placed their capital into a corporation to grow their investment and not for drama and virtue signaling.
If a corporation’s CEO, CFO, COO, CIO or another suit wants to donate a portion of their huge salary to some social cause they are free to do so. They are not free to do so with my shares. They should not buy carbon offsets with my investment dollars. When I sell my shares, I will use the profit to support my social values.
I’ve told the portfolio manager overseeing my retirement funds that I do not want any of my funds invested in ESG companies. “Don’t ESG on me,” I said. She responded by saying that many of her clients have said the same thing.
The same objection to Project ESG applies for public and pension funds. Find out where your state is with ESG. Your state can impose an ESG Insurance Shareholder Restriction:
A bill to prohibit insurers or holding companies organized under state law from including ESG proposals in a proxy statement or implementing an ESG shareholder proposal.
Other aspects of Project ESG, beyond financial considerations, are being rejected:
“Nearly every ESG system includes three primary themes: climate change mitigation and associated climate and environmental goals and actions; promoting social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives; and reforming corporate governance. A common fact of the many different ESG systems currently in use is that each of them contains highly subjective elements.” Jack McPherrin (See 2023-ESG-ReportvWeb-2.pdf (heartland.org) page 15 for the social metrics.)
Project ESG elites talk of stakeholders (designers) finding new opportunities to create value. The values to be created are Project ESG elite values. But I do not share those values.
I reject the notion that there is a climate change crisis. See previous posts for more.
I reject the trendy “value” of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) over the classic value of merit. I value honesty, trustworthiness, compassion, decency, respect for life, good environmental stewardship, taking responsibility for one’s behavior. Fulfilling quotas on company boards doesn’t add value to the company, the consumer or the stockholder. Fulfilling quotas only adds Project ESG points. (Note: Kamala Harris was a DEI pick for U.S. VP. Do you see any value in the pick?)
I reject Project ESG’s corporatist government design as the means to bring about the common good. Free market capitalism with individuals freely making tradeoffs works toward a common good.
I reject Project ESG’s social engineering by elite design checklists.
I reject Project ESG’s design authority – globalist dominionism that assumes positions of power and influence over all aspects of society and government that will produce a global serfdom heavily reliant on Big Brother’s social credit scoring.
I reject the basis of Project ESG’s evaluations: scientism and scientific socialism. I remind you that scientism is “the opinion that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality”. Scientific socialism is Marxian socialism made more rigid and deterministic by Friedrich Engels. I reject social engineering and the mechanistic determinism that eliminates human contingency.
I thereby reject the notion that only physical matter and its motions are real and that everything—nature, history, even human thought—is reducible to matter moving in accordance with the same timeless “iron laws” of motion.
I reject utopian socialism.
I reject Project ESG’s dictatorial control of life’s designs. I reject severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. Life is more than a checklist, more than a deterministic program designed to produce certain outcomes. I reject fascism.
Why do we need Project ESG? For the drama of who’s in and who’s out? To market the ideology of having wealth, power, and influence become increasingly concentrated in the hands of a select few oligarchic individuals and institutions promoting ESG and their new economic ideology of “stakeholder capitalism”?
What’s the rush to change the world? Why is there a hue and cry and John Kerry’s nasally nostrums about “fixing the climate” now? Because a few people say we need to “act now!” and their demands are constantly repeated on state media? There is no climate crisis but there certainly is a concerted effort being made by elites to change the social climate via a Great Reset. (See previous posts for more.)
Why a Black Mirror approach of unending pursuit of scientific and technological advancement?
Why do we need to change what is working? And there is much that is working. Capitalism works. Nuclear energy works. Traditional marriage and the nuclear family works. We notice the loss when what works is sidelined and corrupted by social planners who tell us there’s a better way.
And, what about Chesterton’s fence, the principle that you don’t destroy what you don’t understand. Reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood. (See below for more.) One should not be rewiring society without a knowledge of history and of what circuitry works.
And there’s this: without God, the world looks to itself for a moral compass, hence Project ESG. Elites consider those under them to be lost sheep designers who need a global shepherd to direct them.
Without God, humans look to the world for drama to give meaning to their life. Many people rely on the media and social media to give meaning to their nihilistic existence. Hence, increasing paganism.
Without God, humans look to the world for identity and affirmation. Hence the vitriol and rage when gays, trannies, drag queens, and the like are not affirmed in every conversation. Project ESG makes sure that narcissism is affirmed with its DEI metrics.
Without God, Project ESG and the Great Reset look like paths forward for humanity when in reality they are paths toward the subjugation of humans under totalitarianism. The murderous history of totalitarianism will repeat itself if the elites have their way.
Project ESG judges believe they own the future and not just their future, your future. They believe they can fashion the future by refashioning you.
Like Project Runway, Project ESG is a game show with a few elitist judges determining whether you are worthy to be involved in their world. Contestants will learn whether Big banks find them Project ESG worthy of capital to survive.
“As you know in ESG, one day you’re in. And the next day, you’re out.”

Elite judges? You’ll know them by their god-complex:
They Believe they are entitled to special treatment or privileges.
They are excessively controlling.
They refuse to accept criticism.
They think they have all the answers.
They feel superior or invincible.
They have a superiority complex.
They Ignore the needs of others.
They are indifferent to how their actions affect others.

The Parable of Chesterton’s Fence « Meridian Magazine (latterdaysaintmag.com)
The great and wise G.K. Chesterton once wrote, (from Chesterton’s 1929 book, The Thing, in the chapter entitled, “The Drift from Domesticity)”:
“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”

Born in Chicago, I lived in the Chicago area for 69 years. Last year I moved to Indiana. I had enough of Illinois Democrats, high property taxes, insane COVID mandates, and “fat cat” Governor J.B. Pritzker.
For many years I bought the Sunday Chicago Tribune solely for the comics, the crossword and a column by John Kass.
“Until summer 2020, his opinion pieces regularly appeared on page 2 of the main news section of the Tribune, instead of on the opinion/editorial pages; this is the spot formerly occupied by Mike Royko.

I read Kass’s columns because he was an objective journalist who spoke in no uncertain terms about the “Chicago way”. He wasn’t a Progressive mouthpiece like the rest of the Trib’s columnists.
