How are the UN Sustainability Goals Going? Goal 8 of 17.
Tim O’Connor – Center for the Preservation of Humanity
4/18/2022
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 8th SDG:
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
Truly, I believe the United Nations is after the evil hearts and demonic spirits embodied by the likes of Hitler and Mussolini. As a matter of fact, this goal was the economic model that each of these monsters used in their nations when they were in power; fascism. The only thing the United Nations did here was to dress the fascist pigs’ platform up with some ‘green’ words like inclusive and sustainable. It is a never-ending source of amazement, astonishment, and amusement that the same people who are anti-Nazi are the same people promoting the UN’s resurrection of Nazi’s ideologies.
The UN’s targets to promote economic growth and employment for everyone are:
“8.1 Sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances and, in particular, at least 7 per cent gross domestic product growth per annum in the least developed countries
“8.2 Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors
“8.3 Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services
“8.4 Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead
“8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value
“8.6 By 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training
“8.7 Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms
“8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment
“8.9 By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products
“8.10 Strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all
“8.a Increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, including through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries
“8.b By 2020, develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the International Labour Organization”
I’m going to cover these one by one.
“8.1 Sustain per capita economic growth in accordance with national circumstances and, in particular, at least 7 per cent gross domestic product growth per annum in the least developed countries[.]”
The World Health Organization is deeply entangled with the UN, along with many national governments. During COVID-19, it was the WHO, and their Communist leader Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, along with others at institutions like the CDC, who were major proponents of draconian mitigation efforts which absolutely destroyed multiple economies across the globe while desecrating individual rights. Their mitigation efforts, NOT coronavirus, muzzled people, kept them physically distant, and locked down, and also shuttered hundreds of thousands of businesses, created massive universal basic income payments, destroyed over $3 trillion in economic output, caused massive health and sociological issues, and demonized anyone who dared argue against these measures.
The UN stood stalwartly next to their buddy, the WHO, while they took these actions. The UN is still standing with the WHO while they both promote the deadly and debilitating mRNA gene therapies masquerading as vaccines. Is mass global death the goal? I ask because the WHO numbers of deaths from COVID-19 are garbage and they refuse to acknowledge the dangers of the experimental miracle-cures from the murderers at Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca. If mutating genes destroying human DNA, collecting and cataloging human DNA, introducing graphene oxide into humans, and causing death, disease, and injuries in massive numbers of the people was the UN’s goal (it is – they want almost all of us dead) then they would be doing a great job.
But this target doesn’t state that. It says to maintain economic growth. In 2015, per capita GDP for the earth was $10,251. In 2019 it was $11,417. Because of the non-issue coronavirus and the WHO/UN/CDC/and other’s asinine mitigation efforts against it, there was a 4.3% decline between 2019 and 2020 to $10,926.
In Chad, per capita GDP sank from $660.07 in 2019 to $635.12 in 2020. Per capita GDP in Chad was actually at $776.02 in 2015, when the SDGs were shoved down all of our throats. These people, in general already have nothing and any reduction in their incomes will only further exacerbate their situations. Haiti was doing worse in 2020, partly due to repeated natural disasters and partly due to man-made coronavirus, than they were in 2015. Burundi, with it’s record setting 2015 per capita GDP value of $305.55 has steadily declined until 2019, $228.214 and an increase between 2019-2020 to 238.991. The United States took the China-virus hard, moving from $65,279.529 in 2019 to $63,593.444 in 2020 for per capita GDP. Miraculously, China (the model society which the UN and their globalist conspirators nauseously endorse at all times), managed to increase their per capita GDP between 2019 and 2020; $10,143.838 to $10,434.775.
Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves; however. China’s per capita GDP did increase between those two years but at the outset of the ‘pandemic’ they were welding apartment doors shut to prevent people from leaving as part of their zero-tolerance policy towards COVID-19. Today, as I write this, the people of Shanghai, China, a city of almost 25 million people, have been under lock-down orders for over a week. People that endeavor to leave their residences have been beaten by rabid packs of ‘medical’ personnel clad in bio-suits. People are reported to be starving to death or have starved to death or have committed suicide so as to not starve to death in numbers in Shanghai. Creepy screaming from caged residents have been captured on film. Apparently, this is progress to the UN.
COVID-19 mitigation efforts also obliterated any progress being made towards elevating the GDP of Least Developed Countries (LDC) between 2019 and 2020. Burundi is an LDC and was doing great from 2003 until 2015, but as mentioned, their increase in GDP between 2019 and 2020 was 0.3% - a far cry from 7%, which this nation has not even approached. Between 2019 and 2020, LDCs, overall, were expected to lose 0.4% of their GDP and 43 of the 47 LDCs were expected to be impacted negatively. Negative 0.04% is also a far cry from the 7% GDP growth the UN seeks to promote.
Global GDP, according to Macro Trends, took a dive in the 2009 recession but bounced back in 2010, the high point of the last decade of available data. Between 2016 and 2017, global GDP jumped 0.67%, the last time it went up, and suffered the greatest loss since the beginning of the metric, 1961, between 2019 and 2020 of -5.93%. People are suffering and have no money to fix it. That’s the gist of this goal, though. Between 2020 and 2021, only two nations, Guyana, and Guinea had over 7% growth.
“8.2 Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrading and innovation, including through a focus on high-value added and labour-intensive sectors[.]”
They really want productivity to increase. Increases in productivity depend on one of two things – each employee plays more roles and is responsible for more work-related issues or workers are replaced by machines. Either you do more for the same pay or you are replaced by a robot as soon as feasible.
Between 1950 and 2000 the “[a]nnual growth rate of real GDP per employed person” (indicator 8.2.1) was 1.82%. From 2000 to 2016 that rate fell to 1.11%. The United States, in 2019, 2020, and 2021 had rates of 0.7%, 2.5% and 2.6%, respectively. Chad’s numbers over the same years were -0.3%, -0.5%, and -3.1%, respectively. China’s command economy (version of Communism) achieved 7.6% in 2021 while Germany achieved 3.1%. Between 2019 and 2020 the world rate slumped to -0.6% but rebounded between 2020 and 2021 to 3.2%. Humans are a very productive species it seems.
Or maybe we are just being goaded into believing that higher efficiencies and productivity rates are better for us, overall. Want to take a peek at stress levels? Stress levels are going ballistic in the US. Stress levels in China were already at 40% of the surveyed population in 2015 and now people are jumping out of windows so they won’t have to starve to death. In Germany and the UK, a study found that there are higher stress levels due to the scamdemic and the mitigation efforts. People cannot stand being fractured so they lower their vibrational frequencies by abusing substances or other socially ostracizing activities, including suicidal behaviors and actual suicide attempts which are successful at times. The whole COVID scam not only wreck economies, it wrecked people.
When a country dramatically lowers the number of workers but that same country still maintains its population and that population’s need for food, water, clothing, and shelter remain the same, productivity rates will rise. If the United Nations actually delivered what it promoted, the numbers for this indicator would be very low.
“8.3 Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage the formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises, including through access to financial services[.]”
To track this goal the UN is looking to track and reduce the number of ‘informal’ jobs. Informal jobs include pretty much any job which is without a contract between the employee and the employer. The International Labor Organization (ILO) suggested that in 2018, 60% of all workers are in the informal economy. The United Nations has not tracked this goal very well – their latest data is five years old and extremely incomplete. The World Bank published an article pimping its podcast suggesting that around 70% of workers in emerging and developing economies are employed informally.
I’m going to include an entire article from The World Bank titled, Widespread Informality Likely to Slow Recovery from COVID-19 in Developing Economies, because it ties several strings together far better than I can;
“WASHINGTON, May 11, 2021—A strikingly large percentage of workers and firms operate outside the line of sight of governments in emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs)—a challenge that is likely to hold back the recovery in these economies unless governments adopt a comprehensive set of policies to address the drawbacks of the informal sector, a new World Bank Group study has found.
“The study, The Long Shadow of Informality: Challenges and Policies, is the first comprehensive Bank analysis examining the extent of informality and its implications for an economic recovery that supports green, resilient and inclusive development in the long-term. It finds that the informal sector accounts for more than 70 percent of total employment—and nearly one-third of GDP—in EMDEs. That scale diminishes these countries’ ability to mobilize the fiscal resources needed to bolster the economy in a crisis, to conduct effective macroeconomic policies, and to build human capital for long-term development.
“In economies with widespread informality, government resources to combat deep recessions and to support subsequent recovery are more limited than in other economies. Government revenues in EMDEs with above-average informality totaled about 20 percent of GDP—five to 12 percentage points below the level in other EMDEs. Government expenditures also were lower by as much as 10 percentage points of GDP. Similarly, central banks’ ability to support economies is constrained by the underdeveloped financial systems associated with widespread informality.
“‘Informal workers are predominantly women and young people who lack skills. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, they are often left behind, with little recourse to social safety nets when they lose their jobs or suffer severe income losses,’ said Mari Pangestu, World Bank Managing Director for Development Policy and Partnerships. ‘This analysis will help to fill knowledge gaps in an understudied area and get policy makers back on track to tackle informality, which will be critical going forward as we work to achieve green, resilient and inclusive development.’”
“High informality undermines policy efforts to slow down the spread of COVID-19 and boost economic growth. Limited access to social safety nets has meant that many participants in the informal sector have neither been able to afford to stay at home nor adhere to social-distancing requirements. In EMDEs, informal enterprises account for 72 percent of firms in the services sector.
“High levels of informality generally means weaker development outcomes. Countries with larger informal sectors have lower per-capita incomes, greater poverty, greater income inequality, less developed financial markets, and weaker investment and are farther away from achieving the goals of sustainable development.
“Informality in EMDEs varies widely across regions and countries—as a percentage of GDP, it is highest in Sub-Saharan Africa, at 36 percent. It is lowest in the Middle East and North Africa, at 22 percent. In South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, pervasive informality is largely the result of low human capital and large agricultural sectors. In Europe and Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and North Africa, heavy regulatory and tax burdens and weak institutions have been important factors in driving informality.
“The study shows that informality can be tackled in EMDEs—in fact, while it remains high, it had been on a declining trend for three decades before the COVID-19 pandemic. Between 1990 and 2018, on average, informality fell by about 7 percentage points of GDP to 32 percent of GDP. The decline partly reflected policy reforms: over the past three decades, many EMDE governments implemented policy reforms either to increase the benefits of formal-sector participation or to reduce the costs of such activities. These included tax reforms, reforms to increase access to finance, and stronger governance.
“The study provides five general recommendations for policymakers in EMDEs: first, take a comprehensive approach—because informality reflects broad-based underdevelopment and cannot be tackled in isolation; second, tailor measures to country circumstances because the causes of informality vary widely; third, improve access to education, markets, and finance so that informal workers and firms can become sufficiently productive to move to the formal sector; fourth; improve governance and business climates so the formal sector can flourish; and fifth, streamline tax regulation to lower the cost of operating formally and increase the cost of operating informally.”
EMDE stands for emerging markets and developing economies. I don’t have to be the one to project this time – the World Bank article states that the informal sector is large in a lot of countries, it is difficult, if not impossible to track, and that it needs to be eradicated. The World Bank sees the ending of informal labor as a virtuous objective – I see it as just another mechanism to destroy freedom and any ambition of any individual who even attempts to think about getting out from under the yolk of the formal economy.
Have you ever watched a Black Mirror episode? There is one called ‘Nosedive’ (Series 3, episode 1) in which social interactions are continuously rated by each party interacting. The most well-liked are the ones who get the best homes, jobs, travel arrangements, etc…. What the World Bank, and this UN goal, is really getting at, is that every aspect of every person on earth must be rated. If there are informal jobs, this cannot be incorporated into the social credit score they have designed for us because the employment section will be too volatile to adequately track the metric.
I will grant that not everyone chooses to be in informal employment situations, but there are those of us who do see the positives of being in such an environment. The biggest draw for me would be that taxes are not taken out. If I could do one of those jobs which pays decently in cash, good luck getting those taxes IRS! From the globalist perspective what I just stated is a mortal sin, dodging taxes owed to the state for, I don’t know what for, maybe the idiots extorting money from all of us could explain it. I live in the United States, which has decided to not defend our borders, destroy our military, promote transsexualism, invest in grooming our children, and done their level best to hide child-murdering ‘doctors’ and pedophiles from prosecution. At the same time the same regime is trying to censor, restrict, ban, and jail those wishing to practice freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, the right to raise children, the ability to profess God as the sole creator of all of humanity and everything humanity requires, and the freedom of assembly going so far as to get anyone who does any of these things fired from their job.
The indicator of this UN target is untrackable, probably because the rates have seemingly exploded since they made it. What I can say to this target is that anyone who rejects the UN narrative will be ostracized from polite society, especially in their ability to find gainful employment. The proof is in the terminology the UN used when writing this goal; “development-oriented.” The development they are referring to is their demonic encroachment upon the sensibilities of the world.
“8.4 Improve progressively, through 2030, global resource efficiency in consumption and production and endeavour to decouple economic growth from environmental degradation, in accordance with the 10-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with developed countries taking the lead[.]”
Your flesh should crawl at each instance of the term footprint. ‘Footprint’ basically means the amount of pollutants (namely CO2 or ‘carbon’) produced in mining, transporting, refining, and manufacturing of any good or service. The word footprint was used because everyone has one, but the truth of the term, in this context, is the promise of a totalitarian technocracy in which the currency will be CO2 credits.
The abstract of Implementing the material footprint to measure progress towards Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 12 appearing on nature.com, dated 12/9/2021. “We show that the global material footprint has quadrupled since 1970, driven mainly by emerging economies in the Asia-Pacific region, but with an indication of plateauing since 2014.” The population has not risen four times since 1970 and neither has the global GDP. What has risen is the ability to produce more things for more people. The authors of the nature.com paper decided to create a metric to measure material footprints better. What is odd to me is that nature.com figured out how to track this UN target (not that it should be monitored) but the UN hasn’t bothered since 2010.
The UN has tracked consumption trends; however. The United States, having outsourced just about everything (meaning it is not able to produce its own goods for domestic use) still had a per capita rate of consumption of 23.75 tonnes in 2019. As a measure of production compared to units of GDP the US had 0.39 kilograms in 2019. China measured 22.93 tonnes per capita and 2.3 kg compared to GDP. Afghanistan, Bolivia, Chad, Denmark, Estonia, and Fiji, in 2019, measured 1.17 tonnes per capita, and 2.8 kgs per US dollar; 14.99 tonnes, 4.52 kg; 8.85 tonnes, 12.55 kg; 19.51 tonnes, 0.34 kg; 33.9 tonnes, 1.66 kg; and 4.64 tonnes, 0.79 kg, respectively.
Basically, worldwide consumption of materials rose by 32% between 2000 and 2019. World population grew by 1.26% between 2000 and 2019 and global GDP grew by 27.8% over the same time period. There were far more goods being produced for each person on the planet in 2019 compared to 2000 which shows that more people have things they want and decided they need.
The United Nations, as evinced by their response to COVID-19 wishes to destroy any progress made. Further, the UN, and other organizations are attempting to shift mitigation efforts from COVID-19 mitigation to climate change mitigation.
“8.5 By 2030, achieve full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men, including for young people and persons with disabilities, and equal pay for work of equal value[.]”
Women and men are not the same. Because of their biological differences, men and women will never get paid the same. That doesn’t mean that when women are doing a job they are making less than a man – it means that women give birth to children and rear them in many instances. That negates their life-time earning potential as derived from being employed in the economy. This is a fact of life – not a pie in the sky hallucination I am having, but much of the gender inequality in labor stem from this fact, which tends to get completely ignored.
The progressive solution to this fact of biology, history, and inequality is to get women to choose (the male has literally ZERO say over any of this; it is solely a woman's ‘right’ to choose) whether to have a child or to continuously work. The first hurdle the maggot class (‘elites’) needed to jump was to convince women that they should be out of the house working just like men and the next was to convince women they don’t really need men in their lives, especially a husband.
Before I start going off on the destruction of the family because the maggot class which seeks to create a Brave New World reality, I will simply state that I do acknowledge that sometimes there is a difference in pay rates between males and females, and, unless it is due to piece-work, I don’t think it should exist. It should be solved, and the way to solve it is to set entry level rates when anyone (male or female) enters into an employment contract.
Ah, and there is the hook upon which the UN rests its justifications for destroying any operation which refuses to cooperate with the UN – the prevalence of the informal economy dictates that solutions must be met with state actions such as differentiated tax rates, hefty fines, and possible jail time for women not being paid the same in the informal economy as their male counterparts are.
Based of the data presented by payscale.com, there is no gender pay gap. There are two lines of data plotted between the years of 2014-2021. The two lines are measuring the uncontrolled ‘pay gap’ and the controlled ‘pay gap’.
The uncontrolled ‘pay gap’ is a joke because it does not take into account job type, seniority, location, industry, years of experience, nor other metrics which would make the work of men and women the same. It would be like trying to compare the horsepower of a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle 454 to a 2010 Toyota Prius – they are both automobiles but they are not even close to the same measurements of performance. But, United Nations and their ilk seem to like to pull their numbers from the Prius, not the Chevelle. In 2015, if a male made $1.00, a female made $0.75, in 2021 it was $0.82, in the uncontrolled metric. It seems like a huge gap but….
In the controlled ‘pay gap’, meaning the same jobs are held by men and women with the same qualifications (there is no mention of how long these people have been in their positions, etc...), in 2015 for every dollar a male made the female made $0.97 and in 2021, the female made $0.99.
Between men and women who hold at least a bachelor’s degree, relative to white men (which is completely racist), payscale plotted different races by controlled metrics; female American Indian and Alaskan Natives earned $0.99 compared to white males, Asian women earned $1.03, black or African American women earned $0.98, Hispanic women with the same job and qualifications compared to white men earning a dollar earned $0.99, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islander women make the same dollar a white male does, and white women make $0.99 for every $1.00 a white male makes.
Then payscale.com finally get to the crux of the matter by using psychological manipulation: “The Motherhood Penalty [emphasis mine].” They literally dictate that in order to close the perceived gender pay gap, women stop having children. Do your part women! Stop having kids! (Really, don’t stop having those beautiful babies, humanity needs them, and YOU need them – those PEOPLE fulfill all of our lives). When the motherhood penalty is conducted in a controlled way, women who give birth to their children make $0.98 for every dollar a male makes and those women who choose to not have children – either by gruesomely murdering babies, practicing abstinence, or just not getting pregnant – make exactly the same as men.
There is no gender pay gap, there is only a biological difference between men and women. It is not a penalty to have a child. It is a fulfillment of propagating the human race by biological processes set in motion by God.
Unemployment statistics, the other indicator of this UN target, are unable to correctly identify the number of unemployed. As such, those numbers cannot help to identify gender inequalities within the populations of the unemployed. Unemployment only reflects those people who are seeking jobs. The numbers do not reflect who have given up seeking employment – those who have found ‘illegitimate’ employment (some of which is, indeed, illegitimate – ‘illegal’ drug sales, gun running, terrorist activities, pimping, working as a prostitute in a brothel or on the streets, etc…), those working for cash only, or those who have moved to the streets as homeless.
The United Nations has statistics on unemployment between men and women in 2019. 41.14% of females and 21.32% of males were seeking work in Palestine (which is not a country, nor does a single person there have a legitimate right to the land of Israel or anywhere else – see the Bible); Iraq, a legitimate nation, has the biggest percentage of unemployed women seeking employment at 30.59%; males were at 10%. Closely following Iraq in female unemployment was South Africa with 30.5 percent of women seeking work; however, 26.78% of men were also seeking work. Sudan, Lesotho, Gabon, and Yemen all had over 25% of their women seeking work who were not currently working. Throughout he entire world the male and female unemployment rates were at 5.28% for males and 5.52% for females. Hardly a disparity.
The entire target is a joke. But the idiots at the UN added in the disabled, a growing population due to the way disabilities are recognized. To exemplify this, half of the US citizens reporting a disability were 65 years old or older – meaning they qualified for retirement. Those with disabilities were more likely to be unemployed than those without disabilities, even if those with disabilities were ‘educated’ at the same level as those without disabilities. Those with a disability were more likely to be employed part time than those without a disability. Self-employment occurred more often in the disabled group than the non-disabled group.
Why is all of this true? A big part of it is that those who ‘prove’ their disability will get a government check depending upon the condition, severity of the condition, and the number of hours worked and the income of the disabled person. These ‘disabled’ persons (some are actually disabled – many are not) may also receive housing assistance, food stamps, state assistance, and other benefits as the government sees fit. The Social Security Administration, which pays ‘disabled’ people monthly, recognizes bipolar disorder (formerly known as manic depression), anxiety, anorexia and bulimia, and any kind of paranoia with noticeable effects. There are many people with these conditions which are perfectly able to earn a livable income on their own but why would they when the federal government is paying them.
Let’s; however, look at a deaf person who works as a contractor to develop software. Software developers can make a great deal of money each year, even the deaf ones. An individual who is deaf is indeed disabled but at the same time capable of producing a product which is needed and demands a high price. If the deaf person decides to, they could claim a disability, get all the free benefits they can, and develop their software. The year they sell that software to a client, the deaf person could decide to forego the benefits of the proceeds or to live off of them. If the deaf individual were really adept at the system (which many benefit collectors are) they would get the assistance of a buddy or a pal and have them put the proceeds of the sale into a special account in order to continue to get the Social Security benefits as well as access to the proceeds of their labor.
Therein lies the rub. The disabled are not necessarily the stupid. They may be lazy. They may, in certain instances, be thieves. But they are not stupid. And yes, there are people in this world who are truly disabled who won’t ever be able to tie their own shoes, cook a scrambled egg, walk to the store, or have a dialogue with another human being – this is not about them. Those people are disabled and we, as a society, SHOULD protect them – they are some of the most beautiful people on earth.
But many among the ranks of the ‘disabled’ sprained an ankle when they were 50 and decided to play the system until they retired. Some 20-year old’s hide behind a diagnosis of ADHD which Social Security pays them for and, as such, they see no need to figure out a way to work for what they get. All kinds of ‘depressed’ people get paid for doing nothing. I’m regularly depressed but I’d never expect you to pay my way through life, the mere thought makes me more depressed.
And then there are the people that think those suffering from, or those thinking they suffer from, food allergies, drug addictions, fragrance sensitivities, pregnancy, little person-ism, sickle-cell anemia, obesity, and seasonal affective disorder should be covered under welfare programs. Want the solutions to these issues? Don’t eat allergically-reactive substances. Stop using drugs. Don’t go around scents which you cannot handle and if there is a strong odor which affects you, leave the area. Pregnancy is pregnancy, if you can’t handle the work, stay home – actually, I suggest you stay home anyway, work is no place for a baby, it is stress, and bad smells, and exertion – if it’s that much of an issue don’t get pregnant in the first place. If you’re 3’9” tall don’t take positions which require you to reach heights of 6 feet without a ladder. Sickle-cell anemia can be managed through treatment and surgery and can also be reversed through surgery. Obesity is a lifestyle choice, not a disability; if it were a disability those with it would need to park two blocks away from the Piggly-Wiggly to get their 20 2-liters of Diet Coke and 10 bags of pork rinds. If you are suffering from seasonal affective disorder, take some vitamin D and go to a tanning salon. Those are just my takes, of course. But what do I know?
I know that the only thorny issues here are with pregnancy and with sickle-cell anemia. I know that my take on them will get me called a sexist and a racist. But really, if you cannot afford to pause your career while you are pregnant and work in an environment not healthy for a baby, then maybe don’t get pregnant yet. And maybe if you have sickle cell anemia, then work until your health insurance can cover your medical bills so you can manage your issues correctly and/or correct the issue altogether. And both of these are only for the United States.
In other countries, common ‘disabilities’ are a little bit different. Chronic endemic diseases are rife in some areas, pregnancies will place a mother in the home for 15 years with no expectation of doing anything but rearing their child(ren), government welfare is not so generous as the United States’ or other, even more socialist, ‘capitalist’ economies are. The United Nations is Hell-bent on destroying productive nations by demanding that the wealthy pay the non-productive nations of the world. I’m already discontent with having my taxes go to some of the people on welfare roles now, in my own country. I see absolutely no reason whatsoever to have the United States federal government give the United Nations a single dime for any reason, as a matter of fact, let alone to go for their programs to ‘support’ people in other countries.
“8.6 By 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training[.]”
According to SDG-tracker, the United States had 15.49% of their 15-29 year-olds who were not engaged in education, employment, or training in 2015, and while the figure modestly shrunk until 2019, in 2020 it stood at 17.88%. In 2014, Niger reported 25.2% and by 2017 it was 68.56%. Japan was at 3.61% in 2015, 2.94% in 2018, and 3.11% in 2019. From 2014 to 2017, Afghanistan went from 9.49% to 42.01%. Chile did better in this area than most nations going from 19.7% in 2015 to 16.51% in 2019. There were no substantial reductions recorded between 2015 to 2020 in this area. Any progress made which involved 15-29 year-olds getting ready to enter into the formal economy or already being involved in it disappeared due to the COVID-19 mitigation efforts.
The best case scenario can be found in North Macedonia where in 2015 they had a 24.72% youth involvement rate and by 2019 it fell to 18.14%. In a scenario where there were a million people 15-29 years-old the numbers would have gone from 247,200 to 181,400. They have a population of barely over two million. Those numbers are far smaller, probably a tenth or even a little less of the million I predicated the calculations on.
“8.7 Take immediate and effective measures to eradicate forced labour, end modern slavery and human trafficking and secure the prohibition and elimination of the worst forms of child labour, including recruitment and use of child soldiers, and by 2025 end child labour in all its forms[.]”
I wrote in a previous installment of the SDG evaluations all about how the United States southern border is wide open and is losing what slight modicum of policy sanity remained. That singular border is, itself, a huge failure of this target.
The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates that there were 21 million forced laborers on the earth as of 2012. In 2014 they estimated that forced labor accounts for about $150 billion worth of global GDP – mostly in the Asian-Pacific and developed nations.
In 2017 Global Citizen wrote that 152 million children are victims of forced labor. Moreover, children only account for 25% of the total – which would mean that 608 million people are victims of being forced to work against their will.
The ILO released a report in 2017 which detailed that 24.9 million were forced to work, and also included the 15.4 million people in a forced marriage. The report takes the term ‘modern slavery’ and uses it as an umbrella term to include forced marriages, forced work, and the 4.1 million in State-backed forced labor, and the 4.3 million forced to prostitute themselves. The total number of people suffering from modern slavery is 40.3 million; of which 71% are female.
I’m going to go ahead and throw out that Global Citizen piece because I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where they got their numbers from. Even using the 2012 and 2017 ILO figures; however, the UN has orchestrated a complete failure in even reducing the target.
In 2020 the ILO estimated that 160 million children (5-17 year-olds) were laboring, which is an increase from 2016 of 8.4 million children. If we look back further, to 2000, the rate has decreased from 245.5 million children. So what happened to decrease this statistic between 2000 and 2016 and why has it risen since the inception of the 17 SDG goals? The recurrence of this trend is profound and I have found it multiple times in a variety of targets. It’s almost like the SDG’s are designed to do the polar opposite of their claims.
Compounding the uptick in child labor statistics are concerns about the effects the COVID-19 mitigation efforts will have. The biggest obstacle to an actual solution the ILO will run into is going to be their suggestion that the international community just gives these countries massive amounts of money for welfare programs to prevent children from having to work. The ILO outright proposes complete nationalization of economies where child laborers are thought to exist.
Child soldiers (people under 18 years-old as defined by the ghastly Rights of the Child document) were estimated to be about 300,000 in number, in 30 arenas, in 2015 by the Council on Foreign Relations. In 2020 it was estimated there were 250,000 child soldiers in 25 arenas. There are lots of articles all about the money being sent to prevent children from being engaged in combat; however, it seems that all of the money in the world will not fix the issue.
“8.8 Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment[.]”
I’ve jumped right into how freaking stupid the COVID-19 mitigation efforts are and this is why. The ILO writes, “The ILO estimates that some 2.3 million women and men around the world succumb to work-related accidents or diseases every year[.]” Basically, the ILO is now going to play doctor. They go on to state that their estimates are too low because of shoddy reporting. I’d say they need to estimate actual problems a workplace can control and not try to be anyone’s doctor.
The first thing the ILO needs to do is tell the WHO to stay away from them and from workplaces in general. The ILO needs to address the specific dangers inherent in certain workplaces. They should strive to be non-hostile while they conduct this effort and would probably benefit greatly from a partnership with the IEEE, not the WHO. Their mission should be to get workplaces which are hazardous to willingly conduct ongoing safety audits, address issues, and recommend or install safety measures.
In 2016 the ILO reported, globally, there were 363,283 occupational deaths from roadways, poison, falls, fire and heat sources, drowning, mechanical means, animal contact, and other unintentional injuries. The effort has yet to be repeated, thus when the report does appear, any statistic it holds will be dubious because of the COVID-19 scandemic.
Skewing these statistics are any major accident such as an explosion or tornado strike. All it takes is one and the deaths and injuries can skyrocket. Further, not reporting incidents is an issue. Some of the injury statistics include those who claim they were injured on the job when, in fact they were injured away from the work place.
Labor rights, in this context, are determined by the ILO. Unions, such as the Teamster’s Union, then decide to adhere to the ILO version of labor rights. Now, let me explain what this unholy union is going to do. The ILO, along with the United Nations, World Bank, and World Health Organization are going to use the unions to control workers. Those not in a union will not be directly affected, thus not directly controlled. None of these Nazi-organizations can handle any meaningful decisions being made by any independent entity which is why they incessantly push for unionization.
I was working a union job (Teamsters, as a matter of fact) which paid very well and then 2020 came around. I had one boss who literally took a trip to China in late 2019 and came back with even less positivity about the US than he had before he left. The job I did was inside of a factory which produced roofing products. I routinely lifted boxes which weighed between 58 and 66 pounds apiece (120 of them per 30 minutes). It was during this time, in August, mind you, that I was commanded to “put [my] fucking mask on,” by my Sinophile boss. No one was within 20 feet of me and I was covered in sweat as it was over 100 degrees in there. “No,” I said. For several months, I continuously said no to the guy when he decided to play my doctor and demand my mask-compliance.
This time I hurt my boss’s feelings and he took me to HR, which suspended me. I asked the teamster union head about it. His response was, and I quote, “Oh, yeah, they can fire you for not wearing a mask.” As soon as those words came out of his ignorant mouth, I knew I was done working there – it was only a matter of time. I knew that it was only a matter of time before that money-wasting union got their marching orders from on high to demand the right of their workers to work in a place where 100% of the employees are inoculated. That, reader, is what is going to happen with all of this. The WHO will use different labor organizations to mandate collective ‘rights,’ call it freedom, and then demand each and every individual undergo whatever procedure the WHO deems appropriate.
Every single person should have collectively told these unions and these institutions to go to Hell based on principle, regardless of their individual willingness to jack themselves with experimental mRNA gene therapies. Of course, that’s not what happened. The unions are, unfortunately, even stronger, the business they operate in are even stronger, and their dues-payers/employees are dying and becoming maimed because of these Nuremberg Code obliterating decrees.
“8.9 By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products[.]”
If 9/11/2001 stifled travel, the COVID-19 mitigation efforts eradicated any trust in being able to travel. Not only was it trust; many of the attractions across the world were closed. It was all part of the psychological effort to get everyone to distrust everyone else. Many places on the planet even set up (and still maintains) a snitching system. Go check out what is going on in Shanghai, China where the government has again locked people down – over 13 million of them. People there are jumping from high-rise apartment windows to commit suicide because their only recourse is to sit there and starve to death. Anyone who leaves is beaten in the streets by roving doctors.
The World Travel and Tourism Council estimates that losses in were between $3.4 to $5.5 trillion dollars in tourism and tourism-related enterprises. Their solution is global welfare as well as having this gem as a solution, “[i]n this context, and in light of COVID-19, transformations through technological advances, most notably biometrics and the use of digital identity, show strong opportunities to enable a safe, secure and seamless end-to-end experience, whilst supporting the sector’s recovery.”
Airports in the US are using AI-equipped robots in their facilities for, in part, conducting health screenings, biometrics, and identification. It wasn’t worth the hassle of going through the TSA molestation to go anywhere on a plane. I mean, sure, I’d love to wander around Rome or Paris, but wearing a mask and getting a digital ID isn’t worth it in order to board a ship to get there.
What will happen is the losers who are already dead from this depopulation campaign will go for it and then no one with any common sense will have a choice, or the ability to change, travel requirements, aka, mandates. The whole industry is apparently planning on assisting the unions in destroying the Nuremberg Code – maybe these people should go read up on the consequences for convictions.
Finally, summing up the whole point of COVID-19, the World Travel and Tourism Council writes:
“COVID-19 has disrupted our lives, our sector and the global economy in an unprecedented way; putting things in perspective and challenging us to think about the future. In this context, experts and environmentalists are considering how to create a sense of urgency around the climate crisis to drive efficient and rapid action to avoid facing a similar climate and sustainability-related crisis in the future.”
Did you catch that? COVID-19 mitigation efforts and man-made climate change mitigation efforts are now interchangeable and they always were. If you won’t take your medicine for COVID-19 then maybe these demons can entice your compliance through catastrophic climate change.
“8.10 Strengthen the capacity of domestic financial institutions to encourage and expand access to banking, insurance and financial services for all[.]”
If the UN cannot get people to comply through the unions, or because they want to travel, or convince people to self-isolate to reduce their COVID-19 exposure and/or reduce their environmental footprint, then maybe the likes of bankers will get to them. The problem is the number of the unbanked, uninsured, and the unfinanced. Their solution is expand these services to everyone on earth.
A gigantic problem is and person who works for, or exclusively deals, with cash. In the formal economy, at least that I have noticed, if I want to get paid, I have to have a bank account. That is not a factor in the informal economy. Eventually anyone who wishes to remain pure-blood (un-stabbed), untested, unmasked, or who will not toe the line on a whole host of social issues (paedophilia, abortion, transgenderism, etc…) will suddenly be unbanked as well. Think facebook and twitter bans being applied to checking accounts. The system even has a name, the social-credit system.
“8.a Increase Aid for Trade support for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, including through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Trade-Related Technical Assistance to Least Developed Countries[.]”
Aid for Trade is a welfare program which is supposed to enable developing countries to build-out their infrastructures and production capacities to facilitate international trade. The Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF) is the mechanism which Aid for Trade works through. It is operated out of the World Trade Organization. It seems the WTO is giving money to projects in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) it deems worthy, i.e., submitting to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
They gave beekeeping materials, including suits and hives to people in Zambia. Cambodia was encouraged to export rice despite over a million people have difficulty eating in their own country during certain times of the year. In Samoa the EIF, “[f]ocused on scaling up collaboration between the largest state owned producer and women cooperatives for value-add.”
The EIF used ‘donated’ funds, 100% of which seem to derive from taxpayers in various nations, to fund beekeeping operations in Zambia, get Cambodia to export food while they have hungry and starving people in their own nation, and centralized Samoan production of certain agricultural products.
The rub, of course, is that if any of these newly included people in the New World Order set up by the SDGs ever tell these people to go to Hell for any reason, they will be utterly ruined. It’s all about leaving no one behind (an actual motto of these SDGs) so that ALL are forced to follow the plan, or else.
“8.b By 2020, develop and operationalize a global strategy for youth employment and implement the Global Jobs Pact of the International Labour Organization[.]”
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals repeatedly state that all youth employment needs to be gotten rid of. Their definition of youth is suspect as is their metrics of this target. The SDG- tracker notes that multiple nations had operationalized a youth employment standard including Russia, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Egypt, and Chile by 2021. These measures are built on the idea that ‘youth’ should either continue schooling or go into the workforce.
The Global Jobs Pact of the ILO was adopted in June 2009, just after the world watched the financial markets melt down, and, largely, be bailed out by taxpayers. People were losing their jobs, their homes, and their lives at that time, all thanks to the bankster-created derivative markets (which is measured in QUADrillions of dollars – a thousand trillion).
The main thrust is economic integration (see the ‘economic’ integration developments which occurred in the EU and how that’s working out for them) in this target and the previous target, as well. “The Pact clearly promotes efficient and well-regulated trade and markets, but it also sends a strong message on the need to avoid protectionist solutions. [emphasis mine].” The quote is from, not the ILO, but from a donor organization called the International Organisation of Employyers (IOE).
“As a policy tool, the Pact provides employers with an authoritative pro-business policy pronouncement by the ILO and therefore is a powerful advocacy tool for employers in their lobbying of national governments. [emphasis mine.]”
The main gist of ‘the pact’ itself reads:
“1. The global economic crisis and its aftermath mean the world faces the prospect of a prolonged increase in unemployment, deepening poverty and inequality. Employment has usually only recovered several years after economic recovery. In some countries, the simple recovery of previous employment levels will not be enough to contribute effectively to strong economies, and to achieve decent work for women and men.
“2. Enterprises and employment are being lost. Addressing this situation must be part of any comprehensive response.
“3. The world must do better.
“4. There is a need for coordinated global policy options in order to strengthen national and international efforts centred around jobs, sustainable enterprises, quality public services, protecting people whilst safeguarding rights and promoting voice and participation.
“5. This will contribute to economic revitalization, fair globalization, prosperity and social justice.
“6. The world should look different after the crisis.
“7. Our response should contribute to a fair globalization, a greener economy and development that more effectively creates jobs and sustainable enterprises, respects workers’ rights, promotes gender equality, protects vulnerable people, assists countries in the provision of quality public services and enables countries to achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
“8. Governments and workers’ and employers’ organizations commit to work together to contribute to the success of the Global Jobs Pact. The International Labour Organization’s (ILO’s) Decent Work Agenda forms the framework for this response.”
[Any italics above are mine]
This should sound really familiar to everyone by now with COVID-19 mitigation efforts.
The ILO pact carries on that there should be an effort to increase union membership and collective bargaining arrangements. Welfare for working is included. Welfare for the unemployed to gain new skills is included. Massively increasing the number of workers engaged in public employment is a suggestion the ILO makes in the pact. Increasing public expenditures for infrastructure is included. The ILO also demands that:
“(1) Countries should give consideration, as appropriate, to the following:
“(i) introducing cash transfer schemes for the poor to meet their immediate needs and to alleviate poverty;
“(ii) building adequate social protection for all, drawing on a basic social protection floor including: access to health care, income security for the elderly and persons with disabilities, child benefits and income security combined with public employment guarantee schemes for the unemployed and working poor;
“(iii) extending the duration and coverage of unemployment benefits (hand in hand with relevant measures to create adequate work incentives recognizing the current realities of national labour markets);
“(iv) ensuring that the long-term unemployed stay connected to the labour market through, for example, skills development for employability;
“(v) providing minimum benefit guarantees in countries where pension or health funds may no longer be adequately funded to ensure workers are adequately protected and considering how to better protect workers’ savings in future scheme design; and
“(vi) providing adequate coverage for temporary and nonregular workers.”
And the ILO isn’t done yet! They want countries to give money to those hardest hit by “the crisis,” minimum wage standards to be regularly reviewed and adjusted, and for countries to implement or extend additional resources to promote social protection systems (unemployment benefits, welfare benefits, food stamps, rent assistance, etc…).
The ILO then ties their ‘pact’ into the previously established UN Millennium Goals which, utterly failed and, are the forerunners to what is being reviewed here – the SDGs. The ILO also, again, demands that minimum wages be set, this time, according to their Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131).
Summary
For tyrants operating a totalitarian government, everyone under that tyranny must not only obey all of the tyrant’s decrees but believes in the causes of those decrees as well the validity of those causes. Through the SDGs, the United Nations and their international partners are seeking to install that form of government. In this goal, the target is how people are permitted to make income. I don’t condone or endorse contract killing, or sex trafficking, or kidnapping, but, at the same time the United Nations is committing all of these acts, they are criminalizing wood stoves, banning gasoline engines, and telling me that my God, my speech, and my skin color make me a terrorist.
Make no mistake, under this goal, if you have a job ten years from now it will be a thinnly-vieled forced labor assignment in which the only product produced will be to enhance the hive-mind the UN is trying to instill in each of us. The proof, as far as I see it, is in the utter lack of awareness of what the United Nations is actually doing with these SDGs. Any mention of the SDGs I see on any one of several social media sites is casting the SDGs and the United Nations as great causes and always in a positive light.
I cannot see the UN nor the SDGs in a positive light because they were created to mask a single truth – the UN wants as many of us dead or absolutely compliant with their agenda as possible
Open a Bible and read it. May God Bless You.
