Hallo Umwelt- und Nachhaltigkeitsengagierte,
aus Sicht bestimmter hoffentlich eher weniger US-Amerikaner sind wir alle
Terroristen so kann man zumindest die folgenden Textstellen zu der morgigen
Triple Bottom Line Konferenz in Frankfurt interpretieren:
Max Keiser is a new kind of terrorist. He uses the Internet and boycotts to
manipulate stock prices. In that way, he forces corporations to comply with
his brand of radical environmentalism and Sustainable Development. He puts
his hands around corporate throats and squeezes. Max Keiser and his ilk hate
business and they hate free enterprise and are using these tactics to
redistribute wealth and cause chaos in the market place.
....
Keiser is scheduled to speak at a conference in Frankfurt, Germany, November
2ond, called the Triple Bottom Line Investing (TBLI) Conference. This
conference is not one that you would want to attend. It is a gathering of
radicals who advocate "Corporate Social Responsibility." That is a euphemism
for Sustainable Development. They demand that businesses toe their radical
line. Once a business complies, the demands become even more radical ? the
bar continually raised. That?s what this conference is all about. It?s the
"Who?s Who" of radical-left investing.
A main sponsor of the conference is the Calvert Fund. They are basically
paying the bills. Calvert is a $10 billion investment company for the
Corporate Social Responsibility crowd. They engage in shareholder activism
to get companies to adopt their social agenda. Calvert is a major player and
can not afford to sponsor a conference which features a speaker who
advocates violence.

Ich finde es zunächst einfach amerikanisch verrückt, eine klare Meinung muss
ich mir noch bilden. Interessant ist es allenfalls, denn es ist ein
Lobbykanal der wohl auch Leute erreicht die ihre Messages dann weniger
auffällig verpacken.
