The most interesting part is at the beginning, with his comments coming at a “David Rockefeller Leadership Award” event. What this really comes down to is who owns voting shares and who they put on the board of their megacorp. CEO’s are like politicians in that they’re front men for the money and power behind them, doing what they’re instructed. The OCGFC, Owners and Controllers of Global Financialized Capital, are ultimately behind this DEI move. But it’s all a psyop on the population, as with Bud Light, the sales went to other beers owned by the very same megacorp<\/a>, so was any economic harm really done by a consumer boycott? And they might just make more money with other brands they’re trying to drive business towards, or setting up some stock manipulation to profit from. And megacorps are global these days, e.g. my new 2003 Ford Ranger was assembled in America, but the engine was manufactured in France, and the transmission was manufactured in Germany. So don’t get caught up on a company supposedly being “American”. Consequently, one of the most compelling HD motorcycles was the V-Rod where Porsche helped them develop the engine, and what a megacorp they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It looks like the woke DEI disease has claimed yet another victim\u2014this time, it\u2019s the all-American motorcycle company Harley-Davidson. They\u2019ve gone from easy riders to progressive pukes faster than you can say \u201cborn to ride,\u201d all thanks to their uber-woke German CEO, Jochen Zeitz. He\u2019s now admitting that he took the job at this legendary American brand in order to turn an iconic symbol into a DEI wasteland. Think Bud Light on wheels\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robby Starbuck:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Every @harleydavidson rider is going to want to see this. It sure sounds like CEO Jochen Zeitz admits that he took the Harley job because it was an opportunity to transform an American icon into embracing wokeness and DEI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read the quotes below carefully. He said this at a Synergos \u2018David Rockefeller Leadership Award\u2019 event. Synergos says they work to \u201cdismantle systems that create the most urgent problems of our time\u2026. social injustice and climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doesn\u2019t that just scream HARLEY-DAVIDSON!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs diverse as we could possible be as a brand and a business, and celebrate diversity and inclusion\u2026 That\u2019s one of the reasons why I took the job because I believe in an incredible American icon and the transformation and the opportunity to contribute positively to a very divisive society.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He goes on to say that \u201cpolitics and politicians can only do so much\u2026 but business can be a significant force for good and not just because it\u2019s the right thing to do, it\u2019s the right thing for the business itself, being inclusive I think is a critical component.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harley has a problem and his name is Jochen Zeitz. No one can credibly argue that this guy isn\u2019t a far left activist. In my view it\u2019s clear that he\u2019s telling us he took the job to transform Harley into a woke company. Customers, workers and dealers reaching out to me are angry. Harley\u2019s board has a very limited window to act before permanent damage is done to the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Straddling the fence isn\u2019t going to work as more videos come out of Jochen\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Exposed: The CEO of @harleydavidson says he became the \u201cTaliban\u201d in \u201ca sustainable way\u201d when he became a board member and admits he\u2019s \u201ctrying to take on capitalism and redefine it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says that him and his woke friends have \u201ca better way of doing business\u2026 that is not just profitable from a financial point of view but also from a social and environmental point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He sounds like an enemy to traditionalism and capitalism which by proxy make him just plain unfit to lead @harleydavidson. It\u2019s clear to me that his goal is to inject his left wing views into Harley even if it means destroying an American icon. This is unacceptable. He\u2019s tarnishing the reputations of dealers by not doing the right thing. Most dealers do NOT agree with the woke actions taken by corporate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More quotes from this video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen I became a board member at Harley-Davidson. Now you could ask, what am I doing here? Of course Harley\u2019s all about the sound and the smell of the Harley-Davidson, isn\u2019t it? So I became the Taliban again in a sustainable way. I decided to create a sustainability committee which I\u2019m still chairing today.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On sustainability: \u201cit\u2019s not just a buzzword out there that means little, you\u2019re translating it into the DNA of what you\u2019re doing in business. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do with the other initiative which I just co-chaired with Sir Richard Branson, which is called The B Team\u2026 In order to really try and redefine the role and purpose of business. So here again, now we are trying to take on traditional capitalism and try to redefine it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He says that him and the other globalist executives in the B Team \u201cbelieve\u201d that they can \u201ccollectively\u201d \u201chave a contribution toward a better way of doing business\u2026 that is not just profitable from a financial point of view but also from a social and environmental point of view.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important that we create new leadership. That we get others to join a new thinking of a more sustainable business, of a better business that is more equitable in every respect. Socially, environmentally and financially.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If you think the German CEO is just trying to score a few \u201cprogressive brownie points,\u201d think again. This man is a committed left-wing Marxist, through and through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you think it can\u2019t get any worse, you\u2019re wrong. The iconic American company that vowed to always make their bikes in the US is now moving some key manufacturing to Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robby Starbuck:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Wow. Harley-Davidson is moving production of some US motorcycles to THAILAND!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means @harleydavidson lied when they told bikers and workers that they would never build bikes overseas for the US market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is DEI and wokeness in action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not sure what I mean by that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guess what company gets more diverse by moving jobs to Thailand? Harley-Davidson. Diversity is code for less white people and less American jobs for Americans of all races. This is the part of DEI people don\u2019t even discuss. Many CEO\u2019s use the diversity quotas as a way to eliminate American jobs in favor of cheap labor in some other country where people work for inhumane wages. We must put America first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harley is stabbing bikers and workers in the back under their woke CEO Jochen Zeitz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s face it, most conservatives are decent, well-informed people who care about protecting the planet. They want to do the right thing without buying into the hysterical alarmism that seems designed to make elites rich while lower-income people suffer. Small, reasonable changes are totally acceptable. However, what Harley-Davidson\u2014a company that\u2019s supposed to represent the American spirit\u2014is doing now sounds more like far-left foreign Marxism with a communist green agenda aimed at controlling the masses through fear and hysteria. That attitude will turn Harley into the next \u201cBud Light\u201d in no time, unless they do a u-turn and get back on course. They\u2019re a motorcycle company, not a political machine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
