DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE: And what you don’t know can hurt you i.e. ‘The World Economic Forum’
The World Economic Forum (WEF).
Yes, last week I told you I would tell you a little more about it.
This week I am going to do just that. Because the topic does affect you and me and pretty much everyone in the world.
Actually, let’s begin this story from a local standpoint.
As many readers know, for about four years ending this past summer, I worked for a State Representative in Texas.
Recently I received a bit of paperwork about my savings plan I had while working for the state. There were those names Blackrock and Vanguard on the paperwork – these guys are responsible for my investments.
Now, that really hit home since we have discussed in a previous column these two companies basically own the world and all the living creatures on this Earth globe.
In a nutshell, I don’t want them owning any part of my world – and I have also discovered in my research some people do not think these two companies have our best interests at heart. You know since they own the media, and well, you name it, and they own a piece of it – usually a big piece.
Regarding our best interests, while Texas is still using BlackRock for state funds, a few other states such as Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, Arkansas and most recently Missouri have withdrawn state funds from BlackRock due to what Financial Times reported as being “the asset manager’s ESG investment policies.”
In fact, these states have divested over $1 billion in funds lately. Since BlackRock is playing in the world of trillions, I hardly think the company is too concerned just yet.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported Missouri state treasurer Scott Fitzpatrick wrote that he pulled the state employees’ pension fund because of the company’s “willingness to prioritize advancing a woke political agenda above the financial interests of their customers.”
Oh, and over West Virginia way, State Treasurer Riley Moore announced not long ago BlackRock investment would no longer be used as part of his state’s banking transactions.
So back to BlackRock, the company is apparently being accused by environmentalists of not doing enough to see changes regarding fossil fuel (gee, I mean CEO Larry Fink is on the board of WEF). Trouble in paradise though because now Republican politicians are accusing BlackRock of boycotting energy stocks.
La de da – according to BlackRock’s Fink, he said in an article he apparently must be doing something right since both sides are attacking him.
Well, not really since (and here we pick up with the World Economic Forum narrative) BlackRock is one of the strategic partners with WEF, the brainchild of none other than Klaus Schwab.
To put this in perspective, Schwab was mentored by Henry Kissinger. Kissinger was a subsidiary of David Rockefeller. Rockefeller is at the recent helm of the Rockefeller Empire, and he is all about researching depopulation.
And, over at BlackRock, Fink is a board trustee for Schwab’s World Economic Forum. He is also on the list as a member of the Trilateral Commission.
Nothing to see here – not at all!
I will say that while many people are accusing Schwab of calling the world population “useless,” a recent fact check (likely Reuters, but don’t fact check me on that) said Schwab did not use those words. It said people are crediting him, likely due to comments made pertaining to the organizations Agenda 21 initiative (we will have to get into that another time).
Schwab is not out of the woods yet though, because I did find that one of his overenthusiastic lead advisors, Yuval Noah Harari, did make the “useless” comment. And, the comment was said to have been praised by Barack Obama, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, and Bill Gates – what a great group for my next dinner party.
Harari stated too, “Covid is critical because it encourages people to accept, to legitimize, total biometric surveillance.”
Surveillance? That is a hard no.
Whatever the BlackRock and WEF agenda, here is a short list of the additional strategic partners (household names) that are also pushing the WEF narrative. A narrative that includes surveillance and a cocktail of other pungent tastes as well (just my opinion); Amazon, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Chevron, the Coca Cola Company, Dell, Google, Honeywell, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, IBM, Mastercard, Microsoft, Mitsubishi, Nestle, PayPal, PepsiCo, Proctor and Gamble, Siemens, Sony Group, UPS, Uber Technologies, Verizon Communications, Volkswagen, Visa, Volvo Group, and Zurich Insurance Group.
Let me point out the banks too (refer to my column on digital currency); JP Morgan Chase and Company, Bank of America, Barclays, Citi, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, and Standard Chartered Bank.
And then there are the two big pharma companies Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer. Wouldn’t you know it – front and center strategic partners with the World Economic Forum.
You couldn’t make this stuff up, beyond Orwellian really.
I have also found the idea of WEF’s “Great Reset” agenda – pushed by the world’s elite – seems to be part of what sounds a lot like what we call in English “socialism, communism, and totalitarianism” which also has elements of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance), one of the stated reasons Missouri withdrew its funds from BlackRock.
Short version: digital currency = social credit score = no trip to the Caribbean because you jaywalked across the street and had points taken from your score and now well, too bad.
Already happening in other countries so okay, this Great Reset thing is going to be another hard pass for me.
One quote Schwab did make was, “The pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, re-imagine and reset our world.”
In other words, let’s just get that burden of responsibility off the people’s shoulders and on to ours – you know, let some power-hungry man with bad breath do all the thinking for me ala the EMS scheme – still a hard no.
As for WEF and its board of trustees, in addition to Fink there are also professors, bank presidents, and politicians sitting on the board.
One is from Canada – Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.
I wonder how her conversations with Alberta Prime Minister Danielle Smith are going lately?
Smith recently remarked, “I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders,” when she was asked about working with WEF. She went on to say, “That is offensive… the people who should be directing government are the people who vote for them.”
Finally at the 2022 WEF Forum, they even had Chinese President Xi Jinping deliver a speech. Because we all want to end up with someone like him at the helm of our next best decision. Just going to let you mull over that one for a minute.
And while you are mulling, let me mention NPR recently reported people in China are literally climbing walls to get out since their zero-COVID policy has, as Reuters reported, seen more COVID cases with “authorities ramping up restrictions and people there outraged.”
Some claim that WEF does not have a “stated goal” yet – that is hard to believe. Otherwise, why are all these money people so interested in getting involved?
What Reuters did fact check properly is the statement, “To remove everyone’s private property by 2030,” did come from WEF. It said it “likely originated from a WEF social media video from 2016 that stated eight predictions about the world in 2030, including: “You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy. What you want you’ll rent, and it’ll be delivered by drone.”
I hope the information this week makes you think.
I hope it makes you do your own research.
Otherwise, before long people are going to be standing in line to get chips inserted into their bodies so they can swipe their hand and open their brand new Tesla.
Oh wait, that is a thing, a man in Michigan recently did that.
I even saw a young girl recently bragging about being able to swipe her wrist and pay for her groceries without even having to carry her credit card or any money.
She was so excited, and I just thought “Oh, sweetie, you have no idea?
