WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE (FINAL REPORT): 🧵

Now that I’ve had time to process this year’s annual WEF Nuremberg-like rally in Davos, Switzerland, I’m ready to give you the main takeaways.

A. It starts with President Trump.

Every single report following the president’s…

2.

…address was either outright lies or missed the point. Trump’s thesis wasn’t Greenland or NATO or Ukraine or borders or windmills or the economy.

These were all spokes off of a central hub: “American citizens.” This is what made his remarks so remarkable, especially…

3.

…in a place like Davos.

The World Economic Forum has been a fundamentally anti-human organization since its founding. Their mission statement is nothing if not ambiguous: “Improving the state of the world.”

Much like a classic episode of The Twilight Zone where aliens…

4.

…visit earth and earthlings wants to know their mission. An alien, under polygraph testing, says: “To Serve Man.” This leads people to the conclusion that the aliens are benevolent.

Then comes Serling’s plot twist: “To Serve Man” is a cookbook full of alien recipes for…

5.

…eating people.

That’s the WEF. Their mission statement doesn’t have improving the lives of people in view even though that’s what they would have you believe. No, it’s about “the world,” that is, a vague, faceless, unnamed thing.

By contrast, President Trump spoke in…

6.

…clear, practical, and unapologetic terms of how he intends to improve the lives of “American citizens,” not “the world,” as he made abundantly clear.

That sort of talk is jarring in an era when politicians exhibit a calloused disregard for the will of the people, but…

7.

…in Davos? It’s a unicorn event.

B. Klaus Schwab

This was the first year since the WEF was founded in 1971 that Klaus Schwab was not the ringmaster of this gathering. Deposed last year, I wondered if his absence would lead to any change of direction.

There was…

8.

…none. The WEF went on with business as usual with no reference to him whatsoever that I saw.

What that means is this: Schwab’s forced resignation was not ideologically driven. It was simply that he had become an embarrassment.

C. Larry Fink & André Hoffman

As if to…

9.

…prove they are completely out of touch with the real world, the WEF, supposedly wanting a new chairman who reflected the common man, instead appointed Larry Fink & André Hoffman co-chairmen.

Fink, the billionaire CEO of BlackRock, manages $14 trillion in assets, and…

10.

…Hoffman is CEO of the largest family-owned pharmaceutical company in the world.

While there was no ideological deviation from the course the WEF has steered to date, the appointment of these two is a starting proof that the WEF is tone deaf.

C. Guinea Pigs

The WEF…

11.

…is something like an ideological laboratory where crackpot ideas are formulated and we, the world’s population, are the guinea pigs.

In one bit of startling anticlimactic theater, Fink essentially said in a round table discussion that the experiment of open borders had…

12.

…failed and only those countries that protected their borders were well positioned for future success.

What made this comment so startling was the casual, almost trivial, manner in which he said it. It was as if a baker had decided that maybe the kelp muffin wasn’t so…

13.

…popular after all and should be removed from the menu. The WEF has promoted open borders and mass migration, wrecking the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

D. Artificial Intelligence

As my colleague @DataRepublican observed, references to A.I. were everywhere…

14.

…at this year’s WEF. My take differs only slightly: having been to many WEF meetings, I can tell you that this is not new. The WEF has been obsessed with A.I. since its beginning because of the promise it holds for turning people into controllable commodities.

Godless…

15.

…WEFer types always see mankind as mere brick and mortar for the building of their utopian states.

That said, I think Jennica is right that the WEF fears A.I. might be advancing at a rate beyond even their control. Time will tell.

E. Gate Crashing

Followers of my…

16.

…work at the WEF are used to my sneaky strategy that is more Owen Wilson & Vince Vaughn à la Wedding Crashers than James Bond climbing through a ventilation shaft.

This year I was able to do none of that simply because I was (happily) more tour guide to the DataChicks…

17.

…who were accompanying me than I was WEF spy. Even so, having additional eyes and ears added a new dimension. Expect more of that.

F. Mood

The mood at this WEF was less optimistic that the globalists’ plan would inevitably succeed than in past years, and that is due…

18.

…entirely to Trump. It simply cannot be overstated the shadow he casts over their plans.

He is hated by them.

But he cannot be ignored. He is the president of the most powerful nation on earth, he wields a big stick, and he does not walk softly.

He is opposed to…

19.

…their agenda and he makes no secret of the fact.

What lies ahead? Hard to say.

But my new sidekick @LozzaFox has appeared at my hotel and it’s time for a cigar.

May God bless the good people who read this and defeat the rest of you.
