WEF: More Austin Powers than James Bond
Davos is more of a PR play, not a villain's quest for world domination
In case you missed the WEF …
Perhaps your private jet was in the shop? Here’s what’s going on:
A. G. Sulzberger, the head of the New York Times, appeared on a panel at Davos and declared “disinformation” to be “the most existential” challenge that society is grappling with now. He called for social media to “differentiate and elevate trustworthy sources of information consistently.”
On another panel, which also featured fired CNN host Brian Steltzer, EU Commissioner Věra Jourová discussed “illegal hate speech.” She added that this is something “which you will have soon, also in the US.”
Another speaker on the same panel said that “gendered disinformation” was the most worrisome and hits women so much worse than men.
Dear Friends —
The global elites have once again headed to Davos, the exclusive Swiss ski resort, to attend the World Economic Forum.
For many, this meeting is seen as a chance for those elites to plot their world takeover and the subjection of us peasants to their powerful, and super-woke, regime.
Honestly, it’s more of a PR stunt.
Sp!ked does a good job of laying out exactly what does – and doesn’t – happen with the CEOs and leaders who attend the conference. Frank Furedi points out that the gathering is a highly successful PR operation.
“It is worth remembering, given its outsized reputation, that the World Economic Forum is actually a family-run think-tank. Set up in 1971, with start-up capital of just $6,000, it has transformed itself under its founder and permanent chairman, Klaus Schwab, into a $ 390 million-a-year business.”
Most of the conference’s success has been in convincing anyone who wants to be considered a member of the global elite that they need to be seen at Davos. It’s why you constantly hear about which CEOs and leaders are there. It impresses those of us who aren’t there … and makes those who are very satisfied with themselves.
No there there
But as far as policy and actual world change, well, there isn’t much. The members like to think they’re doing a lot. They have a mission that includes downplaying national governments. The business leaders would like to get those guys out of the way so they can go about running things on their own and fixing stuff.
They also need a vision and an ideology. It makes expensive ski vacations much more palatable when you believe you’re saving the world. This is where 2020’s Great Reset initiative comes in. It emphasizes decarbonization, and
“It went so far as to claim that a ‘strong positive correlation exists between LGBT+ inclusion and economic resilience’. Clearly, flying the rainbow flag has come to symbolise the identity of Davos Man. It’s a mark of the WEF’s ideological success that hard-headed corporates throughout the world have eagerly signed up to the holy trinity of hyper-woke identity politics, technocratic social engineering and decarbonisation.”
As long as no one looks too carefully at what the WEF has actually accomplished, or plans to accomplish, the emperor – or Klaus Schwab – seems to be wearing some pretty nice clothes. But if people start asking hard questions about what really goes on there … instead of finding a conspiracy, you’re likely to find a whole lotta nothing.

I understand where you're coming from, but I think you've missed the point. These clowns drive policies. Us normies laugh or shake our fists over the hypocrisy of flying hundreds of rich people to the closest airport, then flying by helicopter closer, then taking a giant SUV to the pristine mountains to tell poor folks they have to walk or bike to work. But, they push alternative energy with pseudo science and people freeze to death in a cold snap. They want to reduce the world population and remove US citizens' rights (namely our 2A so we can't kick up a fuss when the last of their plans get pushed through). Almost every state has introduced new anti 2A legislation & a bunch of it has passed. Dozens of food processing plants were destroyed last year. They pushed, mandated, coerced, or bribed a large chunk of the population into getting an untested vaccine that seems to be killing a decent percentage of people that took it. Miscarriages & birth defects are exponentially higher since the jabs. And don't forget they actively incourage open borders (which increases ODs) reduces our sovereignty, and undermines our republic. They. Drive. Policy.
If the WEF was only PR, they wouldn’t have the ability to get the world’s leaders all on board with a single concept. Even during the two World Wars you couldn’t get the entire world to agree on one concept. But the WEF can.
