Perhaps no post-WW2 book has had such a dramatic and disastrous influence on national policy as his The Population Bomb (1968).
The book predicted (wrongly) that within the next…

…decade hundreds of millions would die from starvation due to limited planetary resources.
Non-academic in tone, the book reads like a secular version of Revelation. The first sentence says it all: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over.”
The cover is no less…

…alarmist: “While you are reading these words 4 people will die of starvation — and 24 more babies will have been born.”
Ehrlich’s book rocketed up the bestseller lists and penetrated popular culture. Attached below is a clip from Laugh-In shortly after the book’s release:
If you’re looking for a thread that runs through all of the countries/places I’m visiting on my latest expedition—World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; Auschwitz - Birkenau &…

…Nowa Huta near Krakow, Poland; Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, & Gaza; and 3 more countries to go—it is this:
I intend to demonstrate how the crackpot ideas that are historically formed in places like Davos become policy and are sent downstream and demolish the lives of millions….

…Those who formulate these ideas are invariably leftists who are, in the words of Russian historian Sheila Fitzpatrick, “enthusiasts, zealots, and utopians mesmerized by big, distant goals…. They have the intoxicating illusion they personify the will of the people….”
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…

…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…

…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…
People frequently ask if it’s dangerous for someone like me to attend the WEF.
No.
Then again, after last year’s WEF, I went to Cairo to see what I could dig-up on USAID, went home, and was SWATTED.
So, maybe…

…it is. But it is much more likely that incident — the FBI still hasn’t arrested anyone — was related to my exposure of USAID’s nefarious activities in South America (human trafficking) and Egypt (funding terrorism).

Today’s WEF question: Who is Klaus Schwab?
3/
Schwab is the founder of the WEF, and, until recently, was its sole chairman since 1971.
Last year a coup forced the octogenarian Schwab out and he was replaced by Blackrock CEO Larry Fink & Roche Holding AG (think pharmaceuticals) CEO André Hoffman.
I write to you from beautiful (and expensive) Switzerland. I’ll be updating you from here for the next ten days.
To loosely quote Alice in Wonderland, I’ll start at the beginning and keep going until I reach…

What is the World Economic Forum?
Founded in 1971 by German engineer Klaus Schwab, the organization’s mission statement is not only a clue to its gargantuan ambition, but to the gargantuan self-importance of its members: “Improving the state of the world.”…
3/
To some extent, we are all products of our time, and Schwab was born in Nazi Germany in 1938, a period where the world was not only on the verge of a world war, but one in which the West had been possessed by the idea of perpetual progress since the first rumblings of the…
