Great news and you will have my vote! But the “climate change” problem in South Carolina goes deeper than climate research. Here’s what I learned. In SC, climate change policies —aka UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) — are being normalized and incorporated directly into state operations via Sustain SC, an organization jump-started by Google (a major UN SDG cheerleader), and dedicated to “improve South Carolina’s SDG ranking and providing opportunities for businesses in our state to actively commit to these sustainability goals at the local level.” Oh, and spread the ESG system which captures the supply chain, forcing businesses up and down the chain to submit to global UN policies. Sustain SC cooperates with the SC Dept of Commerce; is populated by UN SDG-supporting businesses and progressive conservation groups (local and national); and works in close partnership with Gov. McMaster, the man pledging to put 50% of undeveloped state land out of the grasp of biz & property owners (and into eventual state control?). All those parcels of land being purchased across SC and put into conservation land trusts? Yep, that’s part of it. How much state taxpayer money is involved? I’ll leave that to the follow-the-money detectives. SC Office of Resilience (SCOR)’s Resilience and Risk Reduction plan for the state is a important source of embedding climate change policy at the state organization level. Be sure to dig into the footnote references. Sustain SC, in partnership with The Shi Institute for Sustainable Communities at Furman University (furman.edu/shi-institute/), runs the Sustainability Leadership Initiative (sustainsouthcarolina.org/sli) (SLI), bringing business executives, conservation orgs, and state officials into the climate change/UN SDG belief system and social/biz circle. Money, opportunity, and access are their diplomas. These people shape our policies, aligning them with global plans. And there is RISE (Resilience, Innovation, and Sustainability through Education) a United Nations Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development operating in Georgetown County, SC. They “educate communities” in the SDGs. (coastal.edu/rise/about/) These are among the key beneficiaries from climate change policies in our state. This state activity is aided by environmental justice activism grassroots-community building that took place via SC DES & DPH & Energy Office’s EJ trainings before Trump cut the funding. It is spread to many churches as Biblically sound. The losers here are small businesses, taxpayers, and citizens who understand that the UN SDGs represent an agenda to transform South Carolina’s (and the US) economic and political systems to align with European systems for the new era of global governance. The method is through incremental policy change. All of our traditional political systems are targeted for replacement. Our economy will be moved from capitalism based on GDP to a “wellbeing economy” where *everything* is recycled (circular economy) and citizen satisfaction and social relationships are the measure of a nation’s prosperity. 🤪 American liberties, norms, and values will be forced to conform to EU standards, i.e, collectivism over individualism, state secular spirituality instead of religion, government ruling over subjects instead of the one designed by our Founding Fathers, LGBTQ , “gender identity,” hate speech laws (censorship) open borders, DEI, socialized health care, “tiny homes,” less red meat consumption, ESG, 15-minute cities with “shared vehicles,” etc. Proponents of the SDGs never go into the hardship their drastic energy policies will cause as they tell us that we need to change our consumption and production practices (except for the ruling class). They assure us “you’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” If you can put a stop to it, you have my vote and that of every patriotic conservative.

H.4755 (makes JMSC fully appointed by the Governor and bans legislators or anyone related to them from serving) passed House with a vote of 86-25.

🚨 South Carolina lawmakers are pushing a blue-collar tax hike (H.4216) and it’s now awaiting a final vote on the Senate floor. This bill raises taxes on many working families while eliminating deductions and lawmakers are trying to sell it as “reform.” 📲 Plug your household income into our interactive calculator so you can see exactly how H.4216 affects you in 2025. Many families will pay more, not less. 👉 Check your numbers 👉 Contact your State Senator and tell them to vote NO on H.4216. Your voice is the only thing stopping this from becoming law. palmettostatewatch.com/the-b…
