Attention Servus Credit Union

Attention Servus Credit Union

Attached is a published article that outlines my reasons for parting ways with Servus Credit Union. The departure seems timely given the news of it’s merger with Connect First that will, no doubt ‘enhance’ a joint commitment to ESG and other private, non-government organizational agendas. There is a current trend for companies of all sizes to adopt WOKE business practices, quite often to the detriment of their customers and shareholders.

“Our two credit unions have a shared mission in positively impacting the lives of our members and the communities in which we live,” says Don Coulter, CEO of Connect First. “We look forward to working together to create a stronger and more competitive financial institution that is driven by purpose and dedicated to creating lasting positive impacts for our local communities.”

  When two businesses with similar but harmful value sets or mission statements merge, the damage that they might cause will invariably double. This is a situation and business model I hope to avoid. It’s certain that there are many more members that feel the same way.

Sincerely,

Al Neitsch

“Make personal, ethical choices with SRI, ESG, SOGI and of course…SDGs…and mind your Ps and Qs or we will restrict or close your accounts and lower your social credit score.” – Howard

“The key differentiator for SRI is that it’s ethical or values based. You use your own values as the primary lens to evaluate potential investments. SRI generally screens investments in companies or funds that align with the investor’s values and excludes those that aren’t a match. So, in the case above, steering money into a tobacco company wouldn’t be an option, despite a potential financial payoff.” – FROM THEIR WEBSITE

“Both Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing and Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) are gaining traction with the growing demand among investors to make their money work not only for them, but for others. Consider it as investing with both your heart and your head, and sometimes one leads more than the other.” – ALSO FROM THEIR WEBSITE

Stick with me on this.

Attention Servus Board of Directors,

  During the recent board elections, I , as a member, was invited to engage the candidates and had attempted to do so to no effect. I did not vote leaving many questions as to Servus’ ethical and social commitments as they relate to sound business practices. This was after meeting personally with District Manager, Tyler Hope who presented me with a carefully worded but unsigned letter that did not clarify the extent to which Servus is committed to ESG or SOGI initiatives and whether there were limits to what Servus supports under the rather vague banner of safe and inclusive business practices. The content of this letter is supported by the wording of the recent message exchange with Servus which is attached below.

  It has become very clear to me and other like minded members that Servus is more concerned with ideological virtue signaling on behalf of only some members at the behest of government and non-government agendas, and no longer ascribes to sound financial business practices void of social engineering programs and ideologies that threaten women, children and healthy, traditional family values. Servus seems to no longer be an independent financial institution that operates ethically, outside of government and non-government overreach and can no longer be trusted. I had switched to Servus many years ago with the belief that it was different from the legacy charter financial institutions and have met with many really good people there regardless of their identity or politics. Recent and frequent disruptions to online banking services as well as ‘out of order’ ATM services do not inspire confidence as do ‘in branch’ and on-line displays of ideological symbols and invasive questioning on withdrawals. The pending introduction of CBDCs and social credit scoring and how this might affect Servus members has also not been addressed. At a time when the federal government has seemingly granted itself special powers under Bill C-47 as well as other bills such as C-10 and C-11 that tie into ESG compliance and ratings, confidence in most financial institutions, federally regulated or not, is waning. TD Bank is currently one of the most shorted financial service companies worldwide, and like many other failed companies, can blame their adoption of ESG and WOKE business practices for their difficulties and the harm done to their customers. Their recent strategies involve targeting children with ‘little doors’ and online ‘gender affirmation apps‘. SOGI policies and initiatives are by every means representative of criminal behavior against, women children and families. Is Servus to follow suit and prepared to become the ‘Bud Light’ of banking? A seemingly sincere conversation with James Thomas, the corporate office Vice President for Retail Banking, while appreciated, did not answer any of my questions or re-assure me that Servus Credit Union fully understands the long range implications of the ESG and digital currency agendas but regardless, the agenda must proceed…well…just because.

   It is unfortunate but necessary that, in spite of many personal challenges, I will have to make yet another life change, based on ethical considerations – to institutions that share my values. While I strongly value a ‘Live and Let Live’ ethos for consenting adults, the infiltration of identity politics and other global agendas into all aspects of life leave me wanting to leave a legacy for my children of having lived up to my values by making decisions that might support a safe and prosperous future for them and the families they might have.  I cannot align with any corporate or government regulated social values that allow or promote a progression of the exposure of children to what amount to adult sexual perversions, sexualization, surgical and biological intervention and what amount to moral failure and illness. I would not buy, own or use any product whose manufacture or operation did not align with my values just as I would not buy an e-vehicle because of the appalling use of child labor in mining non-renewable lithium and cobalt, and the environmental footprint of manufacturing and operating them. Clearly there are differences in our relationship that cannot be resolved. I will have to end my membership and will encourage others to do the same.

Sincerely,

Alfred Neitsch

·  Hi Alfred, Thank you for reaching out. We view ESG as measurable and comparable performance standards used to determine the environmental and societal impact of a company. Our ESG approach does not limit the types of industries we work with. Rather, our ESG focus is on creating sustainability in our daily operations so that we can better serve our members and the communities where we live, work and play. Servus does not rate its members or make lending decisions in relation to ESG. We balance our approach to ESG by taking into consideration our strategic plan, and input from members and stakeholders. We invite feedback on our ESG priorities from our community council members. Regarding gender-affirming care, as we are not medical experts, we are not in a position to comment in detail on the matter. That said, Servus is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and we strive to create a culture that values and respects people of all backgrounds. Ultimately, as a credit union, Servus operates on co-operative principles. Every member—such as yourself—is an owner and has a say in stewardship of the organization. We have our members’ best interest at heart and work hard every day to help individuals, families, businesses and communities become financially fit and resilient. Sincerely, Servus Credit Union

Servus Credit Union,

I am becoming increasingly concerned at the willingness of government and business to adopt United Nation’s ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) in managing our affairs and business. Can Servus provide detailed information on to what extent it has adopted ESG guidelines and criteria, and how many SCU members voted for the adoption of ESG as well as how ESG will affect how it does business and manages customer accounts? Can SCU also provide detailed information on it’s stance on gender affirmation and intervention measures being undertaken by certain segments of society. Are their aspects of this agenda that SCU does not support or is it all inclusive? Does SCU support gender re-assignment of children and the now common practice of transgender story time for children?

Behind the elementary school graphics of any WEF controlled business or corporation lie the intricate details of what used to be a conspiracy of World Domination Inc. Enterprises, Est. 1992, also known as United Nations Agenda 21 and 30.
