How are the UN Sustainability Goals Going? Goal 10 of 17.
Tim O’Connor – Center for the Preservation of Humanity
4/27/2022
The seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the goals of the Great Reset. The SDGs were adopted in 2015 by United Nations’ Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The cover for the SDGs were that they would provide relief for disabled peoples by 2030 according to Agenda 2030. To fully understand Agenda 2030, a review of Agenda 21 should be undertaken, which I will not do here. In this article I will focus on the 10th SDG:
Reduce inequality within and among countries
The UN uses code words. Inequality is one such code word. With it the UN is portending their desire for a future in which there is an equality of OUTCOMES. That is, the UN wants Marxism everywhere. The UN’s targets to reduce inequality are:
“10.1 By 2030, progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average
“10.2 By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status
“10.3 Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action in this regard
“10.4 Adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies, and progressively achieve greater equality
“10.5 Improve the regulation and monitoring of global financial markets and institutions and strengthen the implementation of such regulations
“10.6 Ensure enhanced representation and voice for developing countries in decision-making in global international economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions
“10.7 Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies
“10.a Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, in accordance with World Trade Organization agreements
“10.b Encourage official development assistance and financial flows, including foreign direct investment, to States where the need is greatest, in particular least developed countries, African countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their national plans and programmes
“10.c By 2030, reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent”
I’m going to cover these one by one.
“10.1 By 2030, progressively achieve and sustain income growth of the bottom 40 per cent of the population at a rate higher than the national average[.]”
The United Nations and World Bank have done next to nothing to track this target. I can tell you that the COVID-19 scamdemic had the opposite of the intended result of this target; however. “Forbes, which tracks publicly known fortunes, estimated billionaires had gotten 20 per cent richer in 2020 by mid-December.” In the US the lowest 40% received 8.1% of the income earned in 2020.
This is not a target that is being met. It’s not a target that is even being measured because the ‘responsible’ parties know, just like everyone on earth, that actually tracking and reporting on these numbers would obliterate this target and bring an increased level of suspicion of the United Nations intentions.
Household expenditures are going through the roof; food prices are up, gas prices are up, housing cost are up, insurance prices are up. Living is more expensive. Without an increase in
“10.2 By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status[.]”
Again, the UN and their friends have done almost nothing to track this goal since their inception of the Sustainability Development Goals. The UN goes back to way before 2015, when the SDG’s were actuated and go not much further into the future with them.
According to the UN SDG-tracker, the top ten nations (those with the lowest percentages) in which the proportion of people living below 50% median income levels were Azerbaijan (1% - 2005), Pakistan (4% - 2015), Kazakhstan (4% - 2017), Moldova (4% - 2018), Kyrgyzstan (4% - 2018), Egypt 5% -2017), Ukraine (5% - 2018), Czechnia (5% - 2017), Belarus (5% - 2018), and Burkina Faso (5% - 2014). There were 29 nations which had over 20% of their populations living at below 50% of median income standards at the most recent time they reported these numbers.
There are a group of people in Hindu religious areas called the untouchables or Dalit. They are the lowest caste system and are excluded from society as totally as possible. Although the Indian government has outlawed discrimination against the Dalit, the practice persists. The number of Dalit in India are about 200 million according to NBC News. In this particular story a Dalit, Vara Prasad, claimed he was targeted by police for being a Dalit. About two weeks later, Prasad sent a letter to the Indian President, himself a Dalit, in an attempt to join an outlawed Communist insurrectionist group as the solution to the failures of the local government agents in the area in which he resides.
But, does the UN have anything to say about reducing violence against Dalits, including ending the lynchings of those who eat beef? Yes. This has been addressed in an especially weak document created on April 9th 2018 in Osaka, Japan. In 2021 an article was produced by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) which describes discrimination, violence (including rape), and internet ‘hate speech’ being rampantly employed against the Dalit.
I don’t think that discrimination nor violence against the Dalit should be occurring. The entire idea of ‘hate speech’ is disgusting to me; however, being as though speech, and even more speech, is necessary to get people to change their minds. Banning what is considered hateful speech will not rectify any situation, it will only drive those with perverse ideas into the shadows. As far as discrimination and violence go, history has a lesson which is incredibly instructive in this area:
“Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.[To Hindu priests complaining to him about the prohibition of Sati religious funeral practice of burning widows alive on her husband’s funeral pyre.]” - Charles James Napier
There was no burning of the wife that day. There were gallows constructed to hang the responsible parties. Those parties were not willing to undergo death for their customs.
But, this also brings up a larger issue. Napier here shows that human rights are applicable to all people regardless of their sex. Human rights at times are able to go beyond the customs, traditions, and religious beliefs of a people. In Napier’s time, I believe that he made the right decision, constructed the gallows for the potential murderers of an innocent woman, and adjusted the practices of a religion, at least in that instance, to reflect human rights. But we are very far past that point in time.
What if, and this is not hypothetical (it has already occurred multiple times, in multiple regions), ANY religious practice is outlawed by the state. The Chinese, Venezuelan, and North Korean governments are likely to sentence anyone professing a belief in any higher entity than the state to prison or death. To these types of governments, any belief that there is salvation through any means other than the state represents an intrusion into their totalitarian-control-complex.
Hindu’s do some weird stuff in my opinion, but destroying their entire religion for the cause of Dalit rights would ensure complete chaos. Should the world condemn them for trying to murder inoccent widows? Yes. Should the world condemn the religious for having religious arguments against human augmentation such as introducing nanobots to vaccinate us? Probably not. Imagine a Brahman (the highest Hindu caste) being told there is no more Hindu religion – there are only the Sustainable Development Goals (a religion in its own right). The same thing goes with Christians, Jews, Moslems, Buddhists, and hundreds of lesser practiced religious beliefs. But the Sustainable Development Goals are being introduced in exactly that way which creates a huge problem – follow God or follow the United Nations demands. The way of the world is to follow the demands of the United Nations, unfortunately.
The United Nations, in this target, is stating that it is attempting to convert all of those not on the SDG bandwagon, to get on, because that bandwagon ushers in the future. Any customs, religions, or ideas which contradict the UN’s aims are to be crushed.
“10.3 Ensure equal opportunity and reduce inequalities of outcome, including by eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices and promoting appropriate legislation, policies and action in this regard[.]”
In order to reduce inequalities of outcome, one must delve deep into the ideas of the likes of Karl Marx and Fredrich Engels. No two outcomes will ever be the exact same in the human, real world, environment. I have a master’s degree in Criminal Justice and work in a grocery store. Other have the same degree and are running policing agencies. Do I want the compensation that a police chief receives – of course, but do I deserve it – absolutely not.
Every person on earth should be given a basic education – how to read, write, and to do arithmetic. Those who do something with that basic education should be applauded. Those who choose to do nothing with it but raise a family should be applauded too. Those who decide they will go nowhere and use fentanyl on a daily basis should be shunned. There is no equality of outcome in my supposition – it’s about what a person does with what they have.
The United Nations, once more, has not tracked this target adequately by their own indicator. The way they track this target is to see how many people feel discriminated against. The highest rate of feelings of discrimination in which a nation reported occurred in Sweden, which, in 2018 recorded 48% of their population feeling discriminated against, up from 40% in 2015. Kiribati, Central African Republic, Switzerland, and Moldova round out the top five. The UN reports that the lowest incidents of people feeling discriminated against were in Cuba, Georgia, Montenegro, Estonia, and Norway.
“10.4 Adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies, and progressively achieve greater equality[.]”
The percentage of labor which generates GDP is how the UN has chosen to go about tracking this target. Between 2004 and 2019, the world rate went from 54.10% to 52.6%. The lowest rate in the world was in Venezuela which created 10.2% of its GDP from labor in 2019, and Lesotho acheived the highest rate at 69.4%.
COVID-19 came around in 2020 and the entire world experimented with something called universal basic income (UBI). Under the UBI scheme, millions of people began getting stimulus checks which were supposed to assist people with maintaining their households. A whole bunch of price controls were established. And, while UBI in this instance was used to quell the massive numbers of temporarily and permanently unemployed, it is the grand ideal to get the world set up on to reduce and prevent inequality. The US lost 3.49% in 2020 because of the mitigation insanity. The United States spent 12.1% of its GDP on stimulus efforts, while Germany spent 33%, Japan spent 21%, France spent 12.6%, the UK waster 14.5%, Canada came in at 11.8%, India 10%, South Africa 8.6% and Brazil 5.5%. The US spent about 2.5 trillion dollars, while Germany spent just under 1.3 trillion. Not all of this was mailed in checks directly to citizens; however. If I would have relied solely on a UBI payment from the US government I would have gotten under $2,000 for the entire year of 2020. I was in a position which worked, loosely, with petroleum products, and as such the factory I worked in was deemed ‘essential.’ Of course, all of the businesses which I enjoyed going to, for food and such, were closed and deemed ‘non-essential.’
Do you know why that tactic was chosen? You probably do, but let me write it down anyway. Psychological warfare relies on getting people to act on the ideas placed in their heads. Those millions of people who compliantly sat at home because their government overlords told them to, got these compliant people to buy into several ideas. One, other people are dangerous, even family members. Two, government edicts during declared public health emergencies (“Screw your freedom,” thanks Schwarzenegger – go back to Austria and be a Nazi there) can be solved by the government (which created the situation in the first place – especially in the United States). Number three; however, will directly bite the compliant in the behinds – they adopted an ideology in which there are essential and non-essential people with very, very little pushback.
All three of these issues have had, and will continue to have, societal impacts which will achieve one thing – destroying any already weak social cohesion which once existed. Word usage, especially, in matters such as these are especially important. While none of those compliant with lock down measures, and masks, and social distancing, and staying home, and isolating/quarantining themselves, understand that being scared of people will destroy society, nor that once a freedom is lost it is almost impossible to get back, peacefully, anyhow, the compliant will notice the effects of the term ‘essential.’
Essential means “absolutely necessary, indispensable,” according to dictionary.com. Conversely, nonessential means “unnecessary.” Being as though the same small group of people, at organizations such as the UN, and others, have deluded billions of people into thinking the fourth industrial revolution is inevitable and good for them, those compliant sheep are actually leading all of society to the slaughterhouse. They will realize that the term ‘nonessential’ was at some point in time (too late for anyone to reverse the trend) changed to ‘obsolete’ meaning, for our purposes, “of a discarded or outmoded type; out of date.” The only reason that some societies are playing nice at the present time is that there are too many people which, if they figured this all out, will literally rip those enacting this plan into pieces. So, the Satanic cabal is using biological warfare, trauma-based fear tactics, and psychological warfare to not only goad those on the fence about complying with mandates like taking experimental mRNA jabs, but to shun and berate anyone who is non-compliant. This includes employment opportunities, access to insurance, access to banking and financial services, and a host of other services which are complicated if not outright taken away from those non-compliant with such illegal diktats.
I mean this in a very real, physical manner – what the UN is suggesting here will end up getting all of those going along with it culled. The real problem is that these same compliant fools will drag the non-compliant into reeducation camps and, eventually to prison and/or labor camps. The fourth industrial revolution would not survive for very long if that were not the case. And besides, in the next ten years, there will be more people on the planet (save for some other man-made cataclysm like massive food shortages in which billions starve to death, or another man-made highly-lethal global pandemic) all vying for fewer and fewer employment opportunities. Obsolete things are killed off and thrown away. If you are one of the compliant people, please wake up now, the slaughterhouse is visible upon the horizon.
“10.5 Improve the regulation and monitoring of global financial markets and institutions and strengthen the implementation of such regulations[.]”
The indicator for this target relies on something called the Financial Soundness Index. Being as there are 40 different metrics which the IMF and others use to measure the indicator, it gets really messy in a hurry. The first 25 metrics are directed at deposit takers. Market liquidity, real estate markets, and other financial institutions make up another eight metrics. Of the seven remaining, five are dedicated to non-financial corporations and the remaining two are dedicated to households.
The IMF is tracking global corporation’s debt to equity ration, return on equity, earnings to interest and principle expenditures, net foreign exchange to exposure to equity, and number of bankruptcy proceedings initiated. Households are being monitored for debt to gross domestic products and debt service and principle payments to income. The real estate market is something that affects all of us as well, and the IMF tracks residential and commercial prices as well as residential and commercial loans to total gross loans.
The IMF came out with a Financial Stability Report in April 2022 which shows a lot of problems with inflation, commodity prices, and energy costs. All of this, of course, is completely blamed upon the Russian invasion of Ukraine and reflects a less stable global financial system. The IMF’s suggestions for the world going forward are to have central banks prevent inflation in an orderly manner to prevent recovery efforts of the scamdemic-mitigation-efforts from failing; normalizing policy in emerging markets; assessing commodity-market volatility and the effects the volatility will have in managing risk and markets in general; and implement the latest UN Climate Change Conference’s energy recommendations.
Overall, the Executive Summary of the Financial Stability Report (April 2022) states:
“Financial stability risks have risen on several fronts, even though so far, no global systemic event affecting financial institutions or markets has materialized. A sudden repricing of risk resulting from an intensification of the war and associated escalation of sanctions may expose, and interact with, some of the vulnerabilities built up during the pandemic, leading to a sharp decline in asset prices.”
What the IMF is getting at here is that there is a growing potential for worldwide markets to collapse and that central banks need to address the problematic issues to prevent that.
“10.6 Ensure enhanced representation and voice for developing countries in decision-making in global international economic and financial institutions in order to deliver more effective, credible, accountable and legitimate institutions[.]”
There are a lot of developing countries. Those developing countries have received trillions of dollars from the like of the UN and their friends and more is promised. So, it makes perfect sense that the UN would use this carrot to entice developing countries to participate in their designs. In 2020, 75.13 of the developing countries are signed up as members to the International Bank for Developments and Reconstruction and the IMF. 75% are in the International Finance Corporation. 74.09% of them are in the UN General Assembly, 72.56% are in the WTO, 64.81% are involved with UNESCO, 53.33% are in the UN Security Council, and 50% are members of the Financial Stability Board. There are 152 developing countries.
Within those organizations, developing nations combine to hold 50% of the votes on the Financial Stability Board, 46.67% of the UN Security Council, 35.19% of votes in UNESCO, 27.44% of the WTO, 25.91% of the votes in the UN General Assembly, 25% of the International Finance Corporation, and 24.87 in the IMF and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. The only body in which developing nations have gained shares of votes since 2015 is within UNESCO.
“10.7 Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies[.]”
There are four indicators for target 10.7.
10.7.1 – “recruitment cost borne by employee as a proportion of yearly income earned in country of destination.” There is no measurement that has been conducted nor even concocted to measure indicator 10.7.1. As far as I’m concerned, these people, legally or illegally in the host nation, have stolen an opportunity from a citizen of the host nation. As such, they can pay all of the cost of their migration to their host nation.
10.7.2 – “number of countries that have implemented well-managed migration policies.” This indicator includes 30 categories regarding policies which facilitate the safe passage of migrants. There are 5 countries which have fully implemented those categories; Peru, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Jordan, and Turkmenistan.
There are 6 main categories with subcategories under them. The UN’s categories cover migrant rights, government-wide and/or evidence-based migrant policies, cooperation and partnerships, socioeconomic well-being, mobility dimensions of crisis, and safe, orderly, and regular migration.
Quickly, I will point out that there is a need for legitimate migrants and refugees to be protected in their host nation; however, illegal aliens and economic ‘refugees’ are not migrants. Illegal aliens nor economic refugees entering the United States don’t deserve anything from the nation they have invaded. Nor do they deserve anything in the multiple EU nations they have invaded. Over 1.66 - 1.73 million of the illegal alien or economic ‘refugee’ variety of ‘migrant’ have entered the United States since Joe Biden’s successful coup wrested power illegally from the legitimate voters of the United States. The UN, and certainly the US, sees the criminals who have illegally entered the United States as migrants. For the rest of this indicator the term migrant will stand for the illegal kind as well as the legal.
Migrant rights include providing ‘migrants’ with social security, public education, emergency services, equal pay for equal work, and access to the court systems of their host nation. The illegals deserve none of that because, first of all they are criminals, and second of all they pay no taxes into the system for any of those programs.
Government-wide and/or evidence-based migrant policies entails a dedicated government agency which implements immigration policy, setting up regular migrant pathways, policies and strategies to for inclusion and integration of migrants, policies focused on being gender inclusive, and that migration is based on disaggregated data. Government agencies are costly and their budgets are funded by citizens who pay taxes. These taxpayers are not receiving anything in return for their taxes in this area. They are paying for agencies to cater to legal and illegal migrants to figure out the best way to get them here, including them in society, making sure their woke gender ideology is respected, and creating statistical models to see how they are doing.
Cooperation and partnerships includes making sure that immigration coordination is handled by multiple governmental entities, bilateral agreements between nations, regional agreements, agreements for cooperation between host and home nations regarding returning, and formal mechanisms to engage civil society and the private sector in the formulation and implementation of immigration policy. Basically the UN is monitoring nations to make sure they can ramrod their idiotic and dangerous immigration policies down their population’s throats.
Socioeconomic well-being includes aligning migrant policies with labor needs, making social protection benefits portable, allowing accreditation from foreign sources, allowing even-cheaper remittances, and promoting fair and ethical recruitment of foreign workers. If all of these are implemented, the sovereignty of the state in which they are implemented is systemically broken.
Mobility dimensions of crisis entails having a refugee processing system, contingency plans to meet refugees basic needs, handling unaccompanied minors and children separated from their ‘parents,’ national disaster risk-mitigation plans, and to grant permission for temporary stay or temporary protection for those forcibly displaced across international borders and those unable to return. This is how child trafficking in particular, and human trafficking in general gets started. It’s how slaves are recruited. When the term economic is placed before the term refugee both human trafficking and slavery suddenly have an economic basis married to an operationally pliable tactic to effect the criminal enterprises. When an economic refugee, as opposed to those legitimately fleeing a crisis, decides to pick a non-neighboring nation to meet their need for refuge, then human trafficking and slavery absolutely explode. The UN allows all of this and actually promotes it here.
Finally, safe, orderly, and regular migration is referring to a system to monitor visa overstays, per-arrival authorizations, provisions for unaccompanied minors and separated children, migration information and awareness-raising campaigns, and formal strategies to address trafficking in persons and migrant smuggling. The United Nations must think that everyone on earth is completely brain dead. Nowhere in here is the idea that arrest or deportation is a legitimate means to combat any of this.
The United Nations wants completely open borders around the entire world (10 kingdoms, or zones, for the whole earth). This is the operational technique to really get boots on effect that desire. Being as though the UN has the terrible notion of free trade (which dictates the dissolution of sovereign borders) at its core, they are being incredibly disingenuous any time they address migration. In order to dissolve borders and make it so that those borders stay destroyed, massive numbers of foreigners need to have political representation in their host nation – the UN is promoting these migration categories because they will cohesively destroy the nation which adheres to them.
10.7.3 – “number of people who died or disappeared in the process of migration towards an international destination.” According to the International Organization for Migration, 8,084 deaths and disappearances were recorded in 2016 among those migrating internationally. In 2021 the number fell to 5,892. These numbers are collected and reported by a UN agency – the International Organization for Migration. These numbers are not correct, to put it bluntly. Part of this is because the UN doesn’t want to admit their evil free-trade, open-borders plan is a failure and resulting in the death and suffering in not only the host nations, but also among the migrants themselves. But, hey, I’ve never contended that the UN isn’t evil and that it doesn’t promote death and suffering – so this is right in line with their actual goal of creating widespread death, suffering, misery, and sorrow. They just don’t want to let people know just how bad these policies actually are, not yet any way.
10.7.4 – “proportion of the population who are refugees, by country of origin.” The United States in 2014 set a record – 1.56 people per 100,000 people were refugees. This particular chart is telling, in 2014 the White House had a traitor named Barrack Hussein Obama in it, but in 2017, under Donald Trump the number shrank to 0.10 per 100,000 people. In 2021, under Biden’s illegitimate regime, the statistic crept back up to 0.22. The nation with the highest number of refugees fleeing it in 2021 was Syria with 27,005.99 per 100,000. South Sudan (in a civil war), West Sudan (civil war, crime), Central African Republic (civil war, sectarianism), Venezuela (Communism), and Eritrea (civil war, recurring border wars, no civil life) all have over 12,000 per 100,000 people who are refugees.
“10.a Implement the principle of special and differential treatment for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, in accordance with World Trade Organization agreements[.]”
The UN is pushing for zero-tariffs for goods and services made or performed in least developed nations. To the best of my ability (any economics I know have been completely self taught – trade is no different) this target is calling for as many different products (tariff lines) to not be subject to a tariff if those products came from a least developed nation. There are 26 nations with over 80% of products coming from an LDC which are not subjected to tariffs.
Tariffs are meant to protect a nations industries and the labor those industries employ. Tariffs achieve this by rectifying differences between labor costs and material costs between nations. Tariffs, if effectively implemented, will protect workers in a nation, as long as that nation continues to manufacture the good itself. The way of the world is to outsource everything possible to a low-wage nation. The tariffs on the goods coming into the nation are not retarding this flood of foreign goods into the United States, at least. When the prices of, say a microchip, reach a certain point in the US (they are made overseas and imported, unecessarily) an industry may once more grow in the US which produces microchips. If the US government were to decide to first recognize there was a growing domestic industry which was manufacturing microchips they could place an actual tariff on the imported good (more than 0.6%) to protect the industry in the US. After that, there would be no shortage of microprocessors in the US.
The US government doesn’t want to do any of that; however. Look at what they decided to do with oil. The US was self-sustaining with oil and gas production until Biden usurped power. Then as many pipelines and drilling permissions as possible were stopped. The US government, with their over $4.00 for a gallon of gas, is now begging for oil from dangerous rouge nations like Iran and Venezuela. Meanwhile, the US could easily meet the domestic demand themselves, but the Biden regime has decided to keep domestic oil shut off and to stupidly and ineffectively use up reserves as well. There is no US industry left to protect with tariffs in this field being as though the Biden regime has destroyed domestic oil production and subjected the nation to the whims of foreign nations.
The US has a regime in power which is collapsing the US. This is true in France, Germany, the UK, Australia, Austria and multiple other nations around the world. Effecting a tariff on goods a nation is able to produce itself, and the unwillingness of political leaders to implement such measures, is indicative of the collapse of the Western world. This target only exacerbates the trend.
“10.b Encourage official development assistance and financial flows, including foreign direct investment, to States where the need is greatest, in particular least developed countries, African countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries, in accordance with their national plans and programmes[.]”
In 2019 China received $42.38 billion for development assistance for absolutely no reason at all besides the fact that the UN refuses to see the nation as anything other than a developing nation. Also in 2019 Philippines, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Malaysia, Brazil, and Syria received over $10 billion each.
The top five donor countries, those wealthy nations which the UN has determined need to pay the rest of the world coughed up $148.08 billion (US), $54.55 billion (Japan), $42.19 billion (Germany), $27.49 billion (Netherlands), and $21.85 billion (France). That totals $294.16 billion from the top five donor.
This is absolutely national welfare, and the trends show that it is increasing. The UN exposes itself as the lying psychopaths they are with these statistics owing to the fact that China, the second largest economy on earth is getting the most assistance, while the UN is proclaiming LDCs, African nations, small island nations, and landlocked developing nations are most in need. The first LDC appearing on the list is Ethiopia at 17th in receiving funds. Nigeria is the first African nation on the list at number 11. Mauritius is the first small island nation at number 14. And the first landlocked nation appearing on the list is, again, Ethiopia at number 17. These three nations received $16.82 billion in development assistance in 2019, or less than 40% of what the Chinese Communists received.
The UN is using assistance to support China because the Chinese way of governance is the way the wishes to govern the world. While the UN pays lip service to assisting developing nations, they are only propping up their favorite totalitarian regime.
“10.c By 2030, reduce to less than 3 per cent the transaction costs of migrant remittances and eliminate remittance corridors with costs higher than 5 per cent”
If you were on the fence about about the Communistic intentions of the UN, you can no longer be. They are demanding price caps and the elimination of those services which cost too much for their liking. Four nations, Bahrain, Cote d’Ivoire, Russia, and Kuwait had less than 3% average costs on a $200 remittance in 2021. 12 nations had averages less that 5% in 2021. We can look forward to seeing multiple news stories condemning any money transferring service which charges more than $10 on a $200 remittance and even more stories about anyone charging more that $599 for a $200 remittance.
The UN shouldn’t be setting price caps, they should be encouraging competition. With competition comes lower costs because if people can do things for cheaper with the same results, they will. The result will be lower costs across the board. In some instances, the service could disappear altogether due to a host of causes. I can only imagine the wail the UN would release should there be a nation which has no service to transfer remittances outside of sticking money in an envelope and writing a destination address on it (and hoping it gets there with the same amount that was in there when it was sent.
Summary
The United Nations is not getting this goal achieved. Because the SDGs are not on track to be met, the UN will demand more money for everything they are trying to do.
Inequality exists in everything. Fish can breathe underwater, humans cannot; but at the same time fish cannot breathe air and humans can. Does that make us unequal? I’m 5’10” and I work with a guy that is 7’1” and a woman who is 5’3”. That’s unequal for sure. If the UN ever came after heights the way they come after economic circumstances, they wouldn’t suggest ladders for the shorter people, they would suggest everyone be the optimal height, say 6’2” tall. The UN is demanding equality of OUTCOME – which is the supposed effect of Marxism.
The UN is failing with food access, water access, energy access, economic opportunities, and everything else they are trying to do so they made this goal because they knew they were going to fail in those areas. The whole point of this goal, in it’s essence, is to destroy prosperous nations through third world invasion-level migration and direct payments from the wealthy nations to the poor nations. The invasion-level migrations will not only strain the economies of where they end up (see Cloward and Piven) but will further divide the already fragile (in some-cases non existent) state of social cohesion existing in the host nation.
Nations derive their money through taxation – the idea is that, okay, if I pay these taxes then the government will provide the services needed for not only me but my community, state, and nation. A nation making direct payments to other nations is doing absolutely nothing for the citizenry which paid the taxes in the first place. The money received by the foreign nation is often diverted in whole or in part to pockets and projects which will not result in providing food, water, electricity, or anything else useful to the poorer segments of the foreign recipient.
What is going on with SDG 10 is a global Cloward and Piven scheme with the intent to destroy the entire world, starting with the wealthy nations. There are only two real results to this idea and both of them will destroy the economic and social functionality of every nation on earth rich or poor. Those outcomes are capitulation to the UN scheme or civil war in nations attempting to capitulate in which there is a sizable population staunchly against it.
