While the Natural Asset Companies have been successfully put on hold, at least for now, there has been another Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scheme in the works. Originating out of the United Nations, ESG began with the idea that investors should determine how businesses operate on an environmental, social, and governance framework, or its sustainability practices. Now, the new scheme is expecting those corporations to stem nature and biodiversity loss. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has a short video of examples.
Launched in 2022, the posh name for this, Nature Action 100, was conceived by the Launching Investor Group, a conglomerate of different investment and asset management groups worth $24 trillion, and even the Church Commissioners for England. Other partners include Ceres, the investors group on climate change IIGCC, Planet Tracker, and Finance for Biodiversity Foundation. Through a letter, Nature Action 100 engaged with 100 companies whom it deems as major drivers of nature loss, exploiters of resources, and contributors to soil, water, and solid waste pollution, requesting them to "align their business model with the targets and goals of the "Global Biodiversity Framework" and restore nature and ecosystems. Some of those company sectors include pharmaceuticals; agricultural chemicals; household and personal goods; food, ranging from meat and dairy producers to processed foods; forestry and packaging, including forest management and pulp and paper products; and metals and mining. Companies that have been tagged for ravaging the earth include some familiar names like Cost-co, Home Depot, Kellogg, Kimberly Clark, Lowes, McDonalds, Nestlé, Pepsi, Sherwin-Williams, Target, Tyson, Walmart, and Weyerhaeuser, all of which will be analyzed for compliance. The message is clear, if you don't do this, we won't invest in you. The goal for these companies is integrating natural capital considerations into their ESG programs. A variation of natural asset companies, natural capital is "a conceptual approach that looks at nature through the prism of economics" requiring "Better stewardship". Thus, companies must pledge to place nature above all production. Initial expectations are that these companies will outline a plan that includes six actions: Ambition, Assessment, Targets, Implementation, Governance, and Engagement. So, for now, it is just developing a plan to meet investor demands. Similar benchmarks were created for Climate Action 100+ in which there are already 170 companies participating. Instead of corporations steering the agenda on the climate, as with wind and solar power, this agenda focuses on corporations preventing the reduction of nature's assets and biodiversity through its production of goods. In this WEF video, this concept is discussed. At the 4" mark Elizabeth Mrema sensationally declares that earth has lost millions of species, 83% of land is lost, and 85% of wetlands have been destroyed, thus driving the need for this transition. Oh, the humanity! It is a mystery how anyone is surviving. The panel also references "nature based solutions" which are "are actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems" which is what these investors are commanding from the companies. It ends with a discussion on how to "sell" this to the world and sucking the younger generation into being social activists to sell it, starting with the education system. Isn't the threat of monetary loss unless these companies comply, as Kjerstin Braathen states at the 22:40 mark in the video, a form of blackmail? Or extortion with investors making a threat with the intention to cause harm through economic loss? It all just sounds dirty and corrupt. Ms. Braathen also acknowledges, as she smiles, that this transition will cause some "pain" with resulting shortages in energy and "inflationary pressures" at the 22:41" mark. Geez lady, thanks a lot. It will also be just a matter of time before these corporations will put expectations on suppliers for the same practices. Walmart is already on board. Taking these actions won't cost companies anything, the cost of this insanity is, and will be, borne by the consumer. This is just another example of how the corporate world has taken hold of how lives are being transitioned. Bring on the seaweed.

is sometimes easy to write about all the issues elected officials get wrong by not stopping the tremendous damage being done to our state, and country. However, this time a tremendous thanks is owed to Attorney General Raul Labrador for joining twenty four state attorney generals and objecting to a Securities and Exchange Commission proposed rule change titled Self-Regulatory Organizations; New York Stock Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the NYSE Listed Company Manual To Adopt Listing Standards for Natural Asset Companies,” 88 Fed Reg. 68,811 (October 4, 2023). Essentially, this rule would have authorized the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to list Natural Asset Companies (NAC) on its exchange. As a result of the attorney generals letters, and other opposing parties, the NYSE withdrew this proposal. The leadership shown by these attorney generals is so desperately needed in all bodies of our government, the willingness to stand up and voice objection to not only an unlawful move by the federal government, but also protecting the rights of citizens.
Since there are multiple fronts of attacks occurring that are leading us to destruction, none any more or less important than another, it is easier to provide a quick snapshot of issues of which to be aware.
Censorship will advance even further as the World Economic Forum (WEF) has declared disinformation at the top of the list for global risks in 2024, actually superseding environmental threats. What that means is there will be an intensified effort to eliminate, refute, and/or censor any information that does not fit its narrative. In short, the WEF is clearly threatened by the backlash against its narrative that is occurring across the world. Cleverly, it is blaming AI for this spread of misinformation while at the same time touting its benefit for mankind. Keeping in mind that top media corporations are members of the WEF, such as Google, Meta (Facebook), Comcast, NBCUniversal, and News Corp to name just a few, a full smorgasbord of information can, and will be more severely controlled. A classic example of this is the recent refusal to show former President Trump's victory speech in Iowa. Or when he said he would be a dictator on day one was conveniently altered to exclude the full statement. Oh, and don't forget to start preparing for the next plandemic, Disease X. Depending on one's perspective, good news may or may not be on the horizon. WEF pharmaceutical giants are working on a vaccine for the fentanyl crisis. Basically, this vaccine blocks the effects of fentanyl on the brain so the individual can't get the high. So far, it has only been tested on rats, with "no side effects"...in rats that is. Interestingly, it doesn't work for other types of opioids such as percodan, codeine, or heroin, which could prompt a vaccinated individual to swap over from fentanyl to another opioid. Sounds like a move that may add to a higher profit margin for pharmaceutical companies just as the Covid-19 vaccine did, more vaccines for all, just a prophylactic measure for everyone to deter them from ever using. Naturally, the survey says, approval. And no, so far, these vaccines are not made with mRNA technology. Hmm, create synthetic fentanyl, use Covid-19 to exacerbate its lethality, so a vaccine could be developed to stop its effects? What about China? Then there is the border. The reality is that we do not have a border crisis, we are not being invaded, although that idea may be contested by some. It is actually migration by invitation via the government. Acting as a welcoming committee, the government will provide photo ID cards for easy access to other benefits, maybe even voting eventually. Or migrants could just print their own ballot and mail it in. As a result of the Global Refugee Forum held in 2023, the U.S. Department of State pledged 26 commitments towards 8 pledges "in meeting the needs of refugees and host communities" to help address the "forced displacements" across the globe. The State Department also made a "commitment to the Global Compact on Refugees...and...dedication to championing refugee protection and solutions", an international cooperation effort. Other pledges include deliberately bringing in refugees from Rohingya, and joining the Global Alliance to End Statelessness. Of course, funding is included in these pledges for refugee self reliance programs including WEF; working with the private sector for economic refugee inclusion, and assistance with finding work, attending school, and finding housing. So far, Idaho isn't on this government WelcomeCorps program that accepts refugees, but there are plenty of other avenues for "refugees". It is known that this border issue is really about destroying America, but there is also some thought that there is intent to de-Christianize America, and decimate the white culture, at least according to Joe starting at the 10:24" mark. Not once, as he blathers on, does he ever mention the privilege and responsibility of being an American. The border issue is a deliberate orchestration by countries, in which the United States is involved, to redistribute populations for economic reasons. This Department of Homeland Security website and report have some interesting information on immigration. Speaking of the WEF, which most don't give a tinker's cuss about, just finished its annual meeting at Davos, having convened under the theme, Building Trust, while remaining ignorant in understanding why nobody trusts them. However, there was a panel on "What to Expect from a Possible Republican Administration?" Panel members included former Senator Rob Portman, The Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, and what might be described as some other dolts. The panel discussion primarily centered around former President Trump, his previous presidency, and speculation about what he would do if he won the next election. Kevin Roberts gave some surprising statements at the 9" mark, chastising WEF by saying the political elites and unelected technocrats grasp over people should be destroyed; the next administration should make a list of every WEF agenda and object to all of them; upon Trump's inauguration every unelected bureaucrat should be fired, that climate change policies should be confronted, and Trump should spend less money (39:30" mark). Revitalizing self-governance was also mentioned (49:27 mark). The whole panel discussion is worth listening to regarding thoughts on another Trump presidency. WEF also took a hit of criticism from Argentine President Javier Milei about its collectivist and socialism agenda, why the freedom of capitalism provides prosperity, and why social justice does not work. The full speech can be viewed starting at the 2:09" mark. Bringing in confrontational speakers? Is it part of its Building Trust theme, to gaslight those who detest the WEF? Meanwhile, attacks on agriculture and ranching are worldwide from Environment, Social Governance (ESG) policies in America, to banning nitrogen in the Netherlands, slashing fuel subsidies in Germany, enforcing climate policies and higher costs in France, and culling cattle in Ireland. All of these tactics are intended to bring devastation to the agricultural and ranching sectors in the world, and corporations involved in this are all WEF members. Bring on the insects. See those folks in the streets in Germany and France? That is what we should be doing on every destructive issue that has been brought into America's soul. One last thought for the day. If anatomical parts do not define gender, how does adding/removing them affirm it? The Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 1-8 were previously covered. SDGs 9-15 are covered here.
Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (8 Targets) - For the SDGs to be fully implemented, America's infrastructure must be changed. One target is the "adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies" which includes the elimination of fossil fuels and movement towards electric vehicles, use of LED lighting, and "smart" homes. But the more nefarious part of this target is building an infrastructure that will track everyone. Another Goal 9 target is "Significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet...". Again, this is part of Goal 4, the internet will be used to indoctrinate everyone on sustainable development (SD) and the SDGs in addition to the ability to track everyone with a digital ID. Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities (10 Targets) - This goal is probably the most blatant in terms of what is happening today. One target is to "promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all" which accounts for the forced acceptance of anyone regardless of behavior. Another target easily seen being implemented, "Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people", albeit the current flood of people at the border is hardly safe or responsible, but migration is a problem now seen around the world. But, migration is needed for building the workforce, creating cultural diversity, and loss of sovereign identity. Goal 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities (10) Targets - The first target of this goal is access to "adequate, safe and affordable housing" along with other targets for "transport systems", access to "green spaces", and focusing on "disaster risk reduction". The current homeless problem has only escalated across the U.S. with this goal, but most cities have placed emphasis on building "affordable housing", improving transport systems, integrating green spaces, and disaster reduction plans. Changing city designs has always been a top priority for the UN as it will be used as a means to control how humans live with condensed housing, restricted movement, surveillance, and monitoring of resource use. Goal 12: Responsible Consumption & Production (11 Targets) - Targets in this goal include "halve...global food waste at the...consumer levels", or put more simply, reducing food waste which Idaho has adopted. Another target is to "reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse", again adopted by Idaho. In fact, in its agreement to implement the SDGs, the Environmental Protection Agency is working hard to implement SDG 12.3. Goal 13: Climate Action (5) Targets - This has very blatant targets, "Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning". This has been successfully forced by the federal government, but not necessarily by law. Another target, "Improve education, awareness-raising...on climate change...". One cannot avoid the constant barrage of this messaging. Goal 14: Life Below Water (10 Targets) - Reducing marine pollution is a target that is seen with the focus on ocean plastics pollution; over fishing is being looked at; and regulating fish harvesting has started; Goal 15: Life On Land - There are 12 targets in this goal and probably of most interest to Idahoans because it involves forests, protected species, and habitat. The overall goal is protection, conservation, and restricted use "in line with obligations under international agreements" such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). One target touts "sustainable management" of forests and because of these practices there has been more destruction with fires and disease. There is also the emphasis on "conservation", a target being met by the federal government without congressional authorization (30x30), and is in line with the IUCN. Another target met is the focus on reducing invasive species. There is more but this goal is being heavily implemented. Goal 16: Peace, Justice, & Strong Institutions (12 Targets) - Several targets in this goal are paradoxical as most currently have opposite outcomes such as reducing violence, ending child exploitation, and institutional accountability and transparency. The United Nations (UN) itself is seen as corrupt. However, perhaps the most threatening target is "provide legal identity for all". This involves advancing the World Economic Forum (WEF) digital identity agenda that will provide the ability to track everyone and everything they do. However, even worse, it involves genetic tracking starting at birth. One has to go back to Agenda 21 chapters 15 and 16 to really understand this goal. Chapter 15 discusses the conservation of biodiversity based on the Center of Biological Diversity (CBD), while Chapter 16 discusses the "Sound Management Of Biotechnology". Biodiversity includes humans per the CBD, and biotechnology "is a science-driven industry...that uses living organisms and molecular biology to produce products", including "genetic engineering" and changes in DNA. Gold bioinformatics "refers to methods healthcare workers use to gather, store, and analyze biological data...and DNA sequencing" and "applied in other areas such as genomics" and nanobiotechnology, or bioinformatics. Putting it simply, Agenda 21 talks about using genetics and biotechnology not only in the environment, but in humans as well. This explains why one of its areas of use, vaccines, is being genetically created, and now humans are on the radar for the same. Children's DNA is being gathered in many states, often without parental consent, stored (including Idaho), and analyzed or sold. That genetic information is also being gathered through sites such as Ancestry and 23andMe. While the National Human Genome Research Institute blathers on about privacy, it and its cohorts are oblivious to the fact that there should be no engagement in this field at all. Since this all originated out of the UN, there should be no doubt that sharing of this information is with the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) as outlined in Chapter 16. Technocrats from around the world are working on inflated ideas that with pharmaceutical partners, they can control the future of mankind. They might as well just force us to have a number tattoo, the intention is the same. Goal 17: Partnerships For The Goals - The targets for this goal are broken down into five sections: Finance, Technology, Capacity Building, Trade, and Systemic Issues. Sections are needed because Agenda 2030 is about changing the economic model of capitalism and it will take global partners that includes countries, corporations, and laws to change that system. Under the section Systemic Issues, there is a subsection called Multi-stakeholder partnerships. This includes "effective public, public-private and civil society partnerships". Public-private partnerships (P3) are being practiced at all government levels and includes non-governmental organizations (NGO) and corporations. This can also be called corporatism or crony capitalism. It does not mean representation of the people; it is representation of anything but the people. Another subsection is Data, monitoring and accountability. This includes on all people down to the most microscopic detail. This is the basis for digital identity and everyone having access to the internet which are two foundations for tracking humans. Also included in partnerships is indoctrination by the media and using it for censorship. As noted under SDG 4, everyone is to be educated on SD. The UN SDG Media Compact members are used for that purpose, Next will be a summary on the Agenda 2030 SDGs. For countries that adopted Agenda 21 in 1992, the goal was embedding its framework into their respective governments under the ruse of "sustainable development". As previously noted, Agenda 21, known as sustainable development (SD), was implemented in the United States in 1993 by W.J. Clinton. Just a short 22 years later in 2015, the United Nations (UN) compressed that framework into a more defined list of 17 sustainable development goals (SDG), calling it Agenda 2030. In these 17 goals, there is not one area of life that is not impacted, and the goals all overlap each other. The smoke screen in this game has always been that climate change is the catalyst for these needed changes in human lives, and that overpopulation has been a stressing factor.
Fortunately, these 17 goals are a little more specific and understandable than Agenda 21, which helps in understanding how the UN, with its multiple partnerships, intends to transform how humans live. The false premise is that these necessary changes will help slow climate change, help people live a better quality of life, and create a better, and more "equitable" world. However, the intent is really to dictate how everyone lives, and eventually control those lives. Over the course of the last 20 years, there has been some success in doing just that. The easiest way to recognize just how much of this agenda has been executed is to look at SDG targets and indicators of each goal. Targets are activities to be achieved to reach the goal and indicators are the measure by which it is determined if the target is met. Each goal is to be achieved by 2030, and some of the targets in the first 8 goals will be reviewed here. The irony of the SDG is that in some cases conditions have become worse. Goal 1: No poverty (7 Targets) - Two targets include reducing those who are living in poverty at least by half, and implementing social protection systems. The numbers vary among different countries but according to the World Bank there was an increase in the "number of poor people from 648 to 659 million" in 2023. This has happened in spite of the billions of dollars spent on social protection systems such as health care, housing, and income. Goal 2: End hunger, improve nutrition (8 Targets) - One target ensures everyone has access to adequate and nutritious food. Yet, at the same time, media is flooded with "food insecurity" messages, that people can't get enough access to food. On the other hand, the obesity crisis has reached an all time high. How can it be that people can't access food yet are experiencing an obesity crisis? Goal 3: Good Health & Well-Being (13 Targets) - Targets for this lofty goal includes reduction in maternal deaths (they are rising), "strengthen the prevention and treatment of substance abuse...including narcotic drug abuse" (drug use is rising while billions are poured into treatment), and to increase the healthcare workforce (it's struggling). On the other hand Agenda 2030 has been very successful with other targets such as access to reproductive healthcare and vaccines for all. The devastation caused by these last two targets are apparent. Goal 4: Quality Education (10 Targets) - Two targets are education on SD and early childhood education. While the U.S. Department of Education was part of the original President's Council on Sustainable Development, the indoctrination on SD really accelerated in 2010. Multiple Idaho universities, and others, promote both SD, and placing children in care outside of the home in order for mothers to join the workforce. The real goal? The earlier children can be captured, the earlier they can be indoctrinated on SD and the education system has been changed for this very purpose as seen in Goal 8. Education on SD is not limited to educational institutions, it also includes all forms of the media. While the use of the media and entertainment was addressed in Agenda 21, but not so specifically in Agenda 2030, it is still being implemented. Newspapers, television, commercials, movies, advertising, magazines...anything and everything has been used for indoctrinating everyone on SD. In 2018, the UN launched the SDG Media Compact with members from across the world. It is through UN partnerships with media outlets that has led to so many problems with censorship and prohibition of factual information, opposite of its claims of freedom of expression. Although UN partnerships with book publishers, including children's text books, has been going on for years, a new aggressive drive for SD in written material is underway. Goal 5: Gender Equality (9 Targets) - This target is pretty advanced, to "Adopt and strengthen sound policies and enforceable legislation for the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls at all levels", and women who have been promoted continue to advance it. Note the word "gender". As one example, this target plays a role in the current donnybrooks in sports and bathroom polices. Goal 6: Clean Water & Sanitation (8 Targets) - One target is increasing water recycling, which is occurring throughout Idaho. The federal government used the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) monies to meet this goal and the Idaho cities and counties that took that money have implemented the SDGs. Yes, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was the first federal agency that signed to implement SD and the SDGs. Goal 7: Affordable & Clean Energy (5 Targets) - As can be seen with the aggressive push for wind and solar energy, the target for increasing renewable energy is advancing rapidly. However, this is at a cost to the environment from the waste both produce, which points to the fact this agenda has never been about protecting the environment. Goal 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth (12 Targets) - "Decent" work for all isn't really defined but one target suggests putting more youth to work. Another target, "decouple economic growth from environmental degradation", again not defined, references efficiency in consumption and production. This goal is vague in order to hide the agenda that children are being steered towards science, technology, engineering, and math degrees (STEM) that will serve future corporate workforce needs in SD. Part 2 will cover the remaining SDGs, 9-15. In 2021, concern was raised about the Idaho K-12 Civics and U.S. History standards, adopted in 2016. "Lack of specificity is both cause and consequence of a more general lack of rigor" (whatever that means). However, "Enormously broad injunctions and thin, disjointed, thematically scattered content" does describe one defect of these standards. In December, 2023 a committee was formed to revise the social studies standards in which the history standards are included.
Content standards are used "to establish some consistency in academic content statewide", determine what a student should know by the end of a particular grade, and to some degree what should be taught. This PDF is the Idaho Content Standards for Social Studies that outlines what is being taught in civics and history. Social studies is broken down into 5 categories: History, Geography, Economics, Civics & Government, and Global Perspectives. Within each category are goals that each grade must meet, K-12. The knowledge base gradually builds over the course of grades attended. Everyone is encouraged to carefully read through these standards for the specifics and determine their own perspective, but this general overview provides an understanding of what is really being taught from a very early age about American history and government. To understand why youth today have no understanding of America's history, and the significance of our country, reviewing the current standards might provide some insight as to why. Grades K-5 Grades K-5 have standards that appear to lead children towards believing in collectivism, being part of a global world, and government entitlements. Starting in kindergarten, over the course of these grades, the student appears to be progressively taught concepts that are the antithesis of America and being American. Some of these concepts taught in the categories are: History: "basic rights" of individual freedoms; evolution of democracy; how the "interpretation and application of the United States Constitution has evolved"; sharing information of families and their culture, individual similarities and differences; all people have needs and wants, some with limited resources; family traditions that came to America from other parts of the world; basic needs of people, such as food, clothing, and shelter, and things that people may want but do not need; how individuals and groups make decisions and solve problems, such as voting and consensus; to understand multiple perspectives and global interdependence while comparing life in other parts of the world, and family structures in various cultures around the world; a national identity is shared through patriotic symbols and holidays; difference between public and private property; contributions from other parts of the world to the development of the community; different cultural groups are compared in the community and the influence of that culture on lives; roles and relationships of diverse groups of people from various parts of the world who have contributed to Idaho’s cultural heritage and impacted the state’s history; challenges experienced by people from various cultural, racial, and religious groups that settled in Idaho from various parts of the world; meaning of tribal sovereignty; diversity within Idaho’s American Indian tribes; dispel misconceptions about American Indians today; awareness of the shared experiences of indigenous populations in the world; reservations are lands reserved by the tribes for their own use through treaties or executive orders and were not “given” to them; people and groups who make, apply, and enforce laws within...tribal governments; classmates' ancestors and where they immigrated from, with further discussions on migration and immigration, and why people immigrate; individuals becoming citizens and distinguish among obligations, responsibilities, and rights. Geography: basic geography is taught and how humans depend on the environment to meet their basic needs. Economics: identify wants and needs of families; define income and identify different ways to earn and save; the differences between goods and services, producers and consumers; concepts of supply and demand and scarcity; the purpose of a bank; concepts of personal finance; how basic needs of settlers were met; entrepreneurship and reasons for starting a business; Idaho’s role in the global economy; laws that provide benefits; economic rights. Civics & Government: community services are provided by the government; Tribal governments and its government structure; Tribal seals and federally recognized Tribes in Idaho; conflicts between liberty and equality, individual interests and the common good, and majority rule and "minority protections"; role of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and national origin on the development of individual rights and political rights; distributed and shared powers between national and state governments; decisions are made by consensus; Idaho Treaties and the effect of federal policies on Tribes, along with comparisons between Tribes, and Tribal relations with government; colonization of Tribal lands and treaties; basic functions of state, local, and tribal governments, the governmental relationships between state, local, and tribal governments and governing structure of American Indian tribes in Idaho; Idaho reservations. Global Perspective: connections with other communities in the world; contributions from other parts of the world to the development of the community; awareness of the shared experiences of indigenous populations in the world; comparison of neighborhoods and communities with others in various parts of the world; different cultural groups are compared in the community and the influence of that culture on lives. In K-5 some information is taught about the Pledge of Allegiance and other patriotic symbols. Holidays and the reason for them, and basics on rules and why we have laws is taught. Other than the cultural impact in the development of America there is no mention of Christopher Columbus or the pilgrims, or why they came, however, how the 13 original colonies contributed to the founding of the nation is taught. There is no identified American traditions or values, they all originated from other countries or cultures. In fact, the concept of being American isn't clearly in the standards. There is no mention of teaching about American currency. The differences between people, traditions, income, and lifestyles are laid out early to reinforce differences rather than bonds of being an American, and instead being a citizen of the world. Individualism didn't appear in any of the standards but the concepts of citizenship, popular sovereignty, respect for the individual, equality of opportunity, and personal liberty are taught. Basic Idaho history doesn't appear to be introduced such as the initial explorers or the government structure of the state, counties, and cities, but the basic functions of state government is explained. The “concepts” of the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, “basic principles” of the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights are taught, along with majority rule with “minority rights”. It isn't clear that the understanding of Rule of Law that equally protects everyone appears anywhere. So it is with this basic foundation that moves the student to 6-12 grades. Grades 6-9 History is separated out into the Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere in grades 6-9 where students are taught an "understanding of the cultural and social development of human civilization"; the consequences of human impact on the physical environment; cultural patterns; pollution, and deforestation; different routes from colonial rule to independence taken by countries in the Western Hemisphere; ethnocentrism; benefits of global connections; indigenous cultures, European colonization, and spread of major religions. The standard of living of various countries and current economic issues in the countries are taught. Major forms of government are compared with the United States. Grades 6-9 World History And Civilization Concurrently, grades 6-9 are taught world history. Many concepts are repeats from previous grades. History: characteristics of early civilizations; technological advances; origins and characteristics of different social classes; how the structure of family changes in relation to socioeconomic conditions; why different religious beliefs were sources of conflict. Geography: reasons for major migrations of people; how the resources of an area can be the source of conflict between competing groups; how the population growth rate impacts a nation's resources; how rapid growth of cities can lead to economic, social, and political problems; how the conservation of resources is necessary to maintain a healthy environment. Economics: how people historically have relied on their natural resources to meet their needs; how economic opportunity and a higher standard of living are important factors in the migration of people; important economic organizations that have influenced economic growth. Civics and Government: role of government in population movements; political influences which shaped civilizations including the City-State, Monarchy, Republic, Nation-State, and Democracy; global expansion of liberty and democracy through revolution and reform movements in challenging authoritarian or despotic regimes Global Perspectives: absence of effective means to enforce international law; global consequences of major conflicts such as World War I, World War II, the Holocaust, and Cold War; why peoples unite for political, economic, and humanitarian reasons. Grades 6-12 - U.S. History I In addition, the student also studies U.S. History from grades 6-12 separated out into History I and II courses. History: concepts in cultures prior to "European contact"; the different cultural, religious, and social influences in the "North American" colonies; culturally & racially group experiences prior to the Civil War; causes and effects of compromises and conflicts in American Revolution, Civil War and Reconstruction; motives for and the consequences of slavery and involuntary immigration; concept of Manifest Destiny and its impact on American Indians; removal, reservations, and allotment that impacted American Indians historically and currently; common traits, beliefs, and characteristics that unite the United States as a nation and a society. Geography: Pre-Columbian migration and impact of the Columbian exchange; impact termination practices such as removal policies, boarding schools, and forced assimilation had on American Indians. Economics: emergence and evolution of a market economy; role of government policy and role of financial institutions in the early economic development of the United States. Civics & Government: development of our constitutional republic through founding documents, colonial assemblies, and colonial rebellions; fundamental values and principles as expressed in basic documents, including the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution; fundamental values and principles in conflict, such as between liberty and equality, individual interests and the common good, and majority rule and minority protections; how executive, legislative, and judicial powers are distributed and shared among the three branches of government and why powers are distributed and shared between national and state governments in a federal system; role of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and national origin on the development of individual rights and political rights. Global Perspectives: significance of principle policies and events in the United States’ relations with the world, such as the War of 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, the Mexican-American War, and Spanish-American War; Grades 9-12 - U.S. History II History: how diverse cultures have enriched American society; significant movements for social change; motives for continued immigration to the United States; political and social resistance to immigration; impact of forced assimilation on identity of American Indians; emergence of the American labor movement; causes of the Great Depression; shift from the industrial to the technological society at the end of the 20th century. Economics: emergence of the modern corporation; development of a consumer economy; role of the modern United States in the global economy. Civics and Government: relationship between the three federal branches of government; impact of landmark cases, Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka; development and expansion of political, civil, and economic rights. Global Perspectives: competing belief systems including capitalism, communism, imperialism, totalitarianism, isolationism, and internationalism; significance of principal events in relations with the world, such as the Spanish-American War, World Wars I and II, the formation of the United Nations, the Marshall Plan, NATO, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, the end of the Cold War, and interventions in Latin America and the Middle East; Grades 9-12 - American Government History: understanding of the cultural and social development of the United States; historical milestones that led to the creation of limited government such as the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, state constitutions and charters, United States Constitution, Bill of Rights.

For any questions contact: Director of Content and Curriculum (208) 332-6876 [email protected] There are two very good videos that explain how cattle owners are being pursued to put them out of business here in the U.S. and in the Netherlands.
The first is The Attack on Farmers and Ranchers that No One is Talking About By Jim Mundorf. In this video he speaks to the “climate smart practices” being forced onto ranchers. In this video, it is explained how ranchers in the Netherlands are being forced out of business, their resolve to fight back. It also explains how this has nothing to do with the climate but is rather an agenda to take land. Start the video at the 10" mark. It isn't any surprise that nitrogen is on the World Economic Forum and United Nations list to control. U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 10: Powers Prohibited of States
"No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation...." Treaty - "ratified agreement between two or more nations or sovereigns; a contract between two or more countries that is adhered to by the nations party to it; an international agreement between two or more states that is governed by international law." Alliance - "a group of countries, political parties, or people who have agreed to work together because of shared interests or aims". Confederation - "Union of sovereign states linked by treaties, whose common government does not directly exercise its sovereignty over their territory"; "a group of people, countries, organizations, etc., that are joined together in some activity or effort". Treason - "the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance..."; "the crime of doing something that harms your country or government..." Are Idaho state legislators and the governor himself engaging in acts that violate the U.S. Constitution even though the Idaho Oath of Office requires a vow to "support the Constitution of the United States"? It appears there is a very strong question as to certain elected officials being in violation of this oath by their activities. Let's hypothesize that is the case. Making this alliance possible through a statute, the Pacific Northwest Economic Region (PNWER) is a "public-private nonprofit" that is comprised of several northwest states, including Idaho, and several Canadian Provinces. President Pro Tempore Sen. Winder serves on the Executive Committee; Gov. Brad Little, Senators Burtenshaw, Taylor, and Representatives Raybould, Green, and Shepherd serve on the Delegate Council, with Representatives Gannon and Wisniewski and Senators Lent and Semmelroth serving as Council alternates. There is also a Private Sector Council made up of corporations, some of which are global. PNWER has numerous working groups, and as a confederation, it works on issues that remove state sovereignty as "The gold standard of U.S.-Canada Relations". To further his alliances, Gov. Little is a member of the Western Governors Association (WGA) and its corporate sponsors. This is a group that promotes "collective action" policies, brought Agenda 2030 to Idaho, and extends its alliance through socialization with foreign countries, perhaps moving it from an alliance into a confederation. There is also the National Governors Association (NGA) in which Governor Little is a member. and its long list of global corporate partners. Its program areas are similar to Idaho issues. This group declares it improves "citizens' lives" on "matters of public policy and governance at the state, national and global levels." Working at a global level just shoved it to a confederation. Funding information for the NGA is elusive. Back in 2010 Idaho scarfed up $60,000 for dues, but saved $10,000 for skipping events. However, corporate partners can pay for "exclusive access to governors during meetings and conferences" plus other benefits (pg 15) that Idaho citizens are not allowed. Through its partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals ideology and agendas are offered through the NGA Center for Best Practices (a money making machine, funded by federal grants and private and corporate donations). Is this in itself not an act of treason? On a really frightening note, back in 2019 the NGA sponsored the U.S. China-Governors Collaboration Summit, an initiative created by Hillary, inviting China into local governments. Fortunately, the U.S. Department of State recognized this threat and it was put to a halt in 2020. However, this didn't stop Governor Otter from expanding "these healthy international relationships", or Governor Little from engaging with foreign countries. Even though Governor Little labeled this as an "agreement", does it qualify as a treaty without legislative approval? How can either be so obtuse? As no surprise, a 2019 Minzhi-Tsinghua study found Governor Little has a "friendly" attitude towards China (pg 31). Contained within the NGA is the Council of Governors (COG), created by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) in 2008, and through Executive Order 13528 in 2010, "to strengthen further the partnership between the Federal Government and State Governments to protect our Nation against all types of hazards." Basically, COG destroys state sovereignty of being separate from the federal government, and yours truly, Governor Little, is a council member, appointed in September, 2023. Could this fall under an alliance or confederation? Or is this violation acceptable since it was created by the federal government? Democratic and federal influence seems to be the forefront of this collective alliance through a confederation (pg 4) and promoted with the Democratic president being host of the NGA 2023 winter meeting (20" mark), at which Governor Little was in attendance. In case a governor forgets, the NGA also has a refresher course on a governors' powers and authority. In spite of its kindergarten level Disagree Better initiative, looks like it may have dissidents in the ranks. Putting forward a good front that he is all in for his party, Governor Little also belongs to the Republican Governors Association (RGA), which lays claim that Republican leadership is a "contrast of what’s happening under Democrats’ leadership in DC". What a bunch of malarkey. Governor Little, along with the rest of RGA governors, maintains an alliance with the "bipartisan" NGA. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is an organization that brings state legislators together as an alliance voluntarily. The State Chair for Idaho is Rep. Sage Dixon who also serves on the Board of Directors, and on the Federalism and International Relations task force. ALEC has other task force groups and has worked on many issues, truly fitting the description of a confederation. Often through this group, bills are introduced to the legislature, heavily influenced by corporations. Although there is no reference to corporate involvement on its current website, archived websites indicate "ALEC provides a forum for the private sector to provide practical input on how state public policy decisions can impact jobs and the local economy". Its 2018 Strategic Plan did mention some private partners, and a goal to "increase the number of meetings with major donors and prospects (individuals, foundations and corporations)" (pg 18). These are the "policies", or acts, recommended for 2023. So this group writes up an act, or bill, seeking to have it passed by legislators. It may be a stretch to quantify this as a treaty, but it does have that smell. A written document from different political authorities between states for the purposes of ratification by states. Hmm.... There is also the National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL). Legislative leaders that belong to NCSL include Representatives Moyle, Blanksma, and Rubel, and Senators Winder, Anthon, and Wintrow. Its mission "is to advance the effectiveness, independence and integrity of legislatures and to foster interstate cooperation". Although not linked by a treaty, it seems the NCSL acts like a confederation that does not promote the exercise of sovereignty over one's own territory, instead having control over its committees by an Executive Committee. The NCSL encourages the use of contracts between states, or treaties which are forbidden by the Constitution. To influence decisions the NCSL has its own (allegedly non-partisan) list of policy influencers on different issues and policy direction. Who needs input from Idaho constituents when you have experts to fill the bill? The Council of State Governments (CSG) is another alliance which includes 13 western states via CSG West. CSG "provides state legislators and legislative staff with valuable relationship building and professional growth opportunities through a variety of member-driven, regionally focused programs and services", and "membership is automatic". On the Executive Committee are the same NCSL folks, Senators Winder, Wintrow, and Anthon, along with Representatives Moyle and Rubel, right there along with Canada, a foreign country. Does confederation come to mind? How convenient that Idaho legislative leaders belong to these groups. Now, involvement in this CSG West confederation isn't limited to those just mentioned. It also includes Senators Lent and Ward-Engelking on the Education Committee; Senators Hartgen, Guthrie, and Semmelroth on the Agriculture & Water Committee; Senator Burtenshaw on the Canada Relations Committee; Senators Lent, Just, Semmelroth, and Rabe on the Energy & Environment Committee; Senators Harris, Taylor, and VanOrden on the Health Committee; Senators Rabe and Wintrow as Co-Chairs on the Housing Committee; Senators Schroeder and Taylor on the River Governance Committee; Senators Bjerke and Wintrow on the Public Safety Committee; Senators Lakey and Ruchti in the Legislative Oversight Working Group; and lastly, Rep. Furniss on the Westrends Board. Lt. Governor Scott Bedke has his own little clique to be part of, the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) and its pack of corporate partners. It also has international missions with multiple countries and a host of resolutions to push upon return to the legislature. Not to be left out, both Bedke and President Pro Tempore Winder belong on the State Legislative Leaders Foundation (SLLF) Board of Directors. It is nauseating that this group thinks it has "respect for the institution of the state legislature, and a moral commitment to protecting the integrity of that institution", especially when the Advisory Council is nothing but global corporations and other affiliations. Gentlemen, enjoy your trip to Myrtle Beach, SC to cavort with your buddies this spring, the legislative session will be over just in time. Good grief, where does Governor Little and these legislators find time to govern Idaho? Seems like they are pretty busy flitting across the country to pal around with others and make plans for Idaho. It comes as no surprise that Idahoans are not listened to, and fed up. Other organizations are doing the work of legislators and those legislators adopt whatever bilge is handed to them. Why spend the time listening to Idahoans, it is easier to use what is made available to them. How about Idahoans make it simple for these folks. A select group of Idahoans, with expert knowledge on these same issues, can come together, provide "legislative oversight", and offer "suggestions to improve government accountability, transparency, and responsiveness" that the legislature so desperately seems to need, and provide far better solutions. Aren't the people supposed to have the power? Heck, maybe all of this is a stretch, surely legal minds would rip this hypothesis to shreds. There are limitations to the definition of treason, "ensure that the conduct itself demonstrated a defendant’s intention to betray the United States"; "defendant’s disloyal intent must be evident from the witnessed acts themselves"; "if there is no intent to betray, there is no treason.” "In other words, the Constitution requires both concrete action and an intent to betray the nation before a citizen can be convicted of treason." Clearly, one can assume that these elected officials have no intent to betray the United States, they most likely really believe they are doing good for Idaho and the country. Regardless, the concept of these regional groups, and those who are involved in them, is repugnant, betray our country and state for not following the Constitution, and betray the consent of the people. The harm to Idaho extends far beyond just their involvement with the Idaho Association of Commerce & Industry (IACI) Anyone who has read this far must be outraged. Isn't it apparent there is no government system anymore? It isn't about political parties, it is about the destruction of our Republic in which both parties participate. These bodies of alliances and confederations are destroying Idaho, and our country. Though not technically treason, it does demonstrate no loyalty to our country, and it does advance the corporate takeover of our government. Meanwhile, as other countries honor those who sacrificed their lives to resist tyranny annually, we sit on our keisters, not organizing our own resistance against these quislings. As everyone learns about the backdoor deals made by the government on censorship over the last several years, there are promises of more censorship that loom in the future based on stopping mis/disinformation, Disinformation is defined as " false information deliberately and often covertly spread (as by the planting of rumors) in order to influence public opinion or obscure the truth", and misinformation is defined as "incorrect or misleading information". There really isn't much difference between the two, both are speak to propaganda and lying.
Unbeknownst to many, whoppers of lies have already been thrust upon us for years because of the relationships between the United Nations (UN), corporations, and the World Economic Forum (WEF), forcing Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) down our throats. The UN Global Media Compact, launched in 2018, "seeks to inspire media and entertainment companies...to leverage their resources and creative talent to advance the Goals." It includes "more than 30 founding media organizations – encompassing more than 100 media and entertainment outlets". Members of this compact include A&E with its brands; Devex which is a media platform for the global development community with numerous other partners over which it has influence; Discovery; and Scientific American for filtering out any science that conflicts with the SDG objectives. ATTN is another member, a "social video publisher", and "production studio and creative agency offering best-in-class storytelling, audience insights, and social content creation" that includes several brands. Not that publishers haven't already been inserting SDG into textbooks. In 2020, the International Publishers Association (IPA) launched the SDG Publishers Compact for "publishing books and journals that will help inform, develop and inspire action" in the direction of championing the SDGs. The "The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Book Club" aims "to encourage children ages 6-12 to interact with the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals" along with other objectives. Red flags to look for are the communications materials. This really extends the lying into more publications, especially towards children. Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, a WEF partner, is a German holding company that unites "world-leading publishing houses across the globe". This includes publishing companies in the U.S. such as Macmillan that includes MacMillan Learning, and SpringerLink. One also must not forget the largest school textbook publishers that are also WEF members such as McGraw-Hill, Pearson, and Cengage Learning. Very few publishers are left that do not inject the SDG ideology into educational books. WEF has its own censorship, or rather propaganda body, the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, or GARM, run by the World Federation of Advertisers, another WEF partner. Its focus is "to address harmful and misleading media environments" by "collaborating with publishers and platforms". And its list of corporate members is long, all pushing sustainable development. In 2020, the WEF also launched its Power of Media initiative "to enhance trust, improve diversity and representation in media, build social cohesion through entertainment, culture and sport, and build back a better and sustainable media ecosystem". This is being spread through gaming, TV, advertising, movies, and books. To demonstrate just how powerful this initiative is, the WEF partnered with Accenture, an organization that facilitates the reinvention and "rapid transformations" in corporations. Through this, media reinvention corporations "can reap financial benefits", and shape "attitudes...towards diversity...at an early age", The WEF knows full well that "Media and entertainment have the power to shape our perspectives...". The days of Andy Griffith are over. Managing social media and online communication information will be the responsibility of the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Its report, Guidelines for the governance of digital platforms: safeguarding freedom of expression and access to information through a multi-stakeholder approach, will create an "Internet of Trust" that will ban "misinformation,” “disinformation,” “hate speech,” “conspiracy theories while promoting cultural and gender diversity. through global policies" and "used in ways that are conducive to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals." The WEF has plans for using metaverse (pg 104), “a combination of augmented, virtual and mixed reality environments that are accessible and interactive in real time” in media and entertainment, as part of its scheme "to influence people’s perspectives and livelihoods." Harming children is the goal of metaverse. To help combat any misinformation is NewsGuard, providing "transparent tools to counter misinformation for readers, brands, and democracies" using AI tools. Ratings for credibility, based on nine journalistic criteria, are given for whatever is read. Be sure and look for that rating icon posted in what you read, especially when you want the truth on health matters. Like Winston in 1984, this takeover of all information is really about the elimination and removal of information, information that will no longer even be available for censorship. Information will be routinely discarded and the only information that will be available will be produced by these organizations and what they think you should know, and think. In doing so, humans are being brainwashed with only information the UN and WEF want you to know. Access to anything else will be gone. Manipulated propaganda will continue to be incrementally accepted, while the future for everyone is being designed. To see how glaring the removal of information has already occurred, compare an 8th grade history book from 1965 to a current one. Through a massive campaign the SDGs are being forced into our lives. It isn't censorship, it is editing facts and information, similar to the book burning in Germany, or the removal of statues. History erased with only a sustainable future as the truth. Pretty much everything in the Bible provides guidance on how to live one's life. In the never ending movement to usurp control over all aspects of life, the United Nations (UN) is now working on capturing control over religious institutions.
Most large religious institutions have adopted the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This includes the Catholic Church, although its stance on abortion is still questionable; Episcopal Church; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS); United Methodists, although there is a faction of those congregations who are refusing to comply; Presbyterian Church; and the Lutheran Church. It might be surprising to know that even Islam has adopted the SDG. For the Baptists, the American Baptist Association and American Baptist Churches USA don't specifically mention anything about the SDG. However, the Baptist World Alliance is a UN recognized non-governmental organization (NGO) which obligates them to carry out UN goals. The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism supports the SDG, and the World Jewish Congress is also a UN recognized NGO. The UN itself has created several organizations for the purposes of hijacking God's word. Among them are the UN Parliament of World's Religions and Faith for Earth Coalition. It also has an Interagency Task Force on Religion and Sustainable Development with its Multi-faith Advisory Council. Actalliance, a global faith-based coalition, and devout SDG follower, has a pretty impressive list of religious members. As a UN recognized NGO, the World Council of Churches captures quite an array of faiths to spread SDGs that includes the Disciples of Christ, American Baptist Churches, Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian faiths. Not all faiths are followers of the Bible, however, most others have some form of guidance that is followed. The beauty of our Republic is the freedom to exercise one's own religion. Because America was founded on the principles of Christianity, it is worth taking a look at how those principles are being altered. Throughout the Bible there are chapters giving guidance on how to live a Christian life. It is the Ten Commandments that everyone should have imprinted on their hearts, especially Commandment #1, "You shall have no other Gods before Me". This is the Commandment the UN is in the process of trying to replace with itself and Mother Earth. In 2022, "dozens of religious leaders" came together from across the world, carrying not the Ten Commandments, but the Ten Principles for Climate Repentance. These principles are a mockery of the Ten Commandments. Religious leaders gathered at Sinai to receive those "Climate Justice Ten Commandments” as part of COP 27. Concurrent events were held around the world and repentance ceremonies continue to be held. Listen to these faith "leaders" twisting God's word at COP 27 here as it deteriorated into a discussion about economic injustices, the question of a "sustainable population" for the earth, how to lead younger generations away from God's word, and using an app rather than a Bible to lead one's life. The Presbyterian church even has a wallet sized card that can be carried to remember one's duty to the SDG. The UN goal is to bring all religious faiths together and help them work together on these replacement principles. Helping to guide faith institutions is its booklet on Faith Actions, and its book, Faith for Earth: A Call For Action. King Charles, a devout follower of the SDG, is doing his diligence by bringing together faith leaders and lead them away from God's word. In honor of bringing faiths together the Abrahamic Family House was created in Abu Dhabi, where a mosque, church and synagogue sit on a piece of ground facing each other. There are often stark differences between faiths and their teachings. However, the common thread being use to bring them together are the SDG, the new Bible and its teachings, and the UN is using that as an advantage to remove God and His word to bring itself and Mother Earth to the top. Religions for Peace is another organization that brings religious institutions together and supports the SDG. Members include representatives from the Methodist faith, UN, Catholic, and LDS faith. Who needs the Bible or Ten Commandments when you have the SDGs? America doesn't have a mental health problem, it has a spiritual problem. It is no wonder membership to any faith is declining when you have those faith leaders turning their backs on God and His word, instead replacing it with a man-made version from Satan. Bible verses already provide the guidance on caring for the earth and ourselves, and how to bring peace in the world. Somehow, along with the other SDGs, SDG 16 is the new answer to peace. There will never be any peace when Satan has entered, and been accepted, by our churches. It might be worthwhile to discuss this with one's local church leaders and learn if the SDGs are being adopted. If not, then perhaps a discussion needs to ensue that Satan may be lurking to bring this evil into the church. |
