The writer of The Shadow State, a new documentary on Epoch TV, discusses what’s happening with the ESG (environmental, social and governance) industry.
The ESG industry is a multi-trillion dollar power structure that brings together governments with corporations, in an effort to, as BlackRock CEO Larry Fink put it, “force behaviors.” The ESG industry focuses on three areas that are most vital to people’s lives: food, fuel and money.
The new documentary The Shadow State investigates how the ESG industry has succeeded in forcing behaviors, what its goals are, and what this all means for those of us who don’t have a voice or vote in this movement but feel the effects of it nonetheless.
While ESG activists believe that a back-door global alliance is the only way to impose an environmental and social-justice agenda, which has failed to gain public support through the democratic process, others fear that concentrating power in the hands of an unelected elite will lead to conflict, political instability, and economic decline.
How does the ESG industry work, who are the players, and how is it affecting our everyday lives? With us now is filmmaker Kevin Stocklin, who directed The Shadow State. He previously created the 2008 documentary We All Fall Down: The American Mortgage Crisis, and also contributes regularly to The Epoch Times.
