Richard Jeffs: Stakeholder Capitalism | Tom Nelson Pod #280 Feb 21, 2025

Show notes

In his recent documentary series called Stakeholder Capitalism, filmmaker and tech entrepreneur, Richard Jeffs, investigates our current undemocratic ten-year transition to an authoritarian political system called Stakeholder Capitalism. View our films and articles to learn what Stakeholder Capitalism is and how, since 2020 (when it was enacted), it’s been driving the rise in strange societal and global events.

To summarise, Stakeholder Capitalism is the brainchild of Klaus Schwab, the Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The WEF’s exclusive members, called Stakeholders, include the heads of all G20 countries, multinational NGOs and most fortune 500 companies. Enacted through a ten-year initiative called The Great Reset, the Stakeholders are driving our transition to a single, global, authoritarian political system called Stakeholder Capitalism.

Peter Ridd: “ The vibe shift” | Tom Nelson Pod #273 Jan 17, 2025

Show notes

Peter Ridd is a geophysicist with over 100 publications and 35 years’ experience working on the Great Barrier Reef and developed a wide range of world-first optical and electronic instruments for measuring environmental conditions near corals and other ecosystems. He was head of Physics at James Cook University for over a decade before being fired, in 2018, for questioning the quality assurance systems used by reef science institutions. Some of the poor-quality work relates to the effect, or lack of effect, of climate change, and agriculture, on the reef. Ridd now works, unpaid, with agricultural organisations, and the Institute of Public Affairs to improve quality assurance systems of “science” used by Australian governments to make environmental laws and regulations.
