Right, before Putin's invasion of Ukraine, there weren't many sitting heads of state who are happier to conference with good ole Schwab than Putin.

Let’s enter Fantasyland for a moment. Let’s pretend for a sec that our country had a news media that was interested in bringing you the news, not in lecturing you about your moral inferiority (You’re so bad) or lying to you in transparently obvious ways (January 6 was an insurrection, guys) or even in forcing you to repeat whatever childish slogan they’ve come up with this week.
Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. OK. Transwomen are women. All right. Say it or else.

It’s not just about hurting people. The billionaires want to stay billionaires and they don’t want us to become billionaires and move into their neighbourhoods with our hillbilly ways.
What billionaires and liberals want most is to have a permanent place in the societal hierarchy that puts them at the top. They reason why they want social programs, no matter what they say, is because that represents a drain on your finances so you can never save enough to improve your life beyond where it is.
Socialism always leads to oligarchism.
using our money the middleclass to pay for everything
Yep.
Putin is a war criminal.
Weird crap to deny it in an otherwise rational discourse.
You think the world is going to right itself, after Putin’s gone? Once Putin has been deposed of and Russia gets broken up, the globalists are coming after the US.
None of us support Putin, per se. But we don’t want the globalists to win because it means they come after us.
Wealthy people who depend on stable global trade to retain their wealth and influence do not want large wars. They don’t want an economic depression, either. Large wars and depressions deprive them of money and influence.
IIRC, Ted Turner said that there would be no more wars, and so have others like him.
Most of them obviously wanted the United States to be more of a service and global tourism economy (subservience, larger migrations from equatorial regions). A world war would put more men of western ingenuity to work with generally higher pay in manufacturing and construction on U.S. soil.
Some of the wealthiest people want to avoid involvement in international conflicts to the very end, assuming that they will prevail anywhere on the planet and influence any national leaders. Others realize the dangers of waiting for defense measures (world war, nuclear threats, etc.) and don’t want run out of places to be for safety from crazy tyrants.
Look at what happened to U.S. social culture during the Great Depression (morality) and World War 2 (more pay, skills and housing, resulting in many more kids).
Clearly.
If somebody were truly concerned about Carbon Emissions, they would support rather than oppose nuclear energy.
They would also LIVE what they preach - so no more private jets, yachts, or giant energy sucking mansions. Yet the Hollywood/Politicians/Corporate Billionaires who cheerlead for Gaia Worship are NEVER willing to walk the walk personally.
If somebody were truly concerned about Carbon Emissions, they would not give China, India and the 3rd world a free pass to emit as much carbon as they want.
If somebody were truly concerned about Carbon Emissions, they would not advocate shutting down industry in advanced countries which have strict environmental regulations, and instead pushing that manufacturing to China and other poor countries where they will spew a whole lot more carbon to produce the same things. There is only one atmosphere. A ton of carbon pumped into it from China is every bit as harmful as a ton of it pumped into the atmosphere from America.
If somebody were truly concerned about carbon emissions, they would not do all they can to shut down oil and gas production in America, thus forcing us to import more oil and gas from places like Nigeria or Saudi Arabia, or Venezuela where they have much more lax environmental regulations and emit far more carbon to produce that same barrel of oil THEN burn yet more oil shipping it here.
If somebody were truly concerned about carbon emissions, they would take the total carbon emissions from mining the raw materials to lifetime maintenance of electric car batteries, windmills, solar panels, etc and would not advocate things that produce more carbon emissions over their lifetime.
Yet the Gaia worshipers do all of the above.....which indicates that no matter what they say, its not really about carbon emissions. Its about implementing global socialism and exercising total control over not just the economies of advanced countries but the day to day lives of their citizens as well.
Putin was always willing to work with Schwab.
The old joke was God says to a Socialist “I’ll give you whatever you wish, BUT whatever I give you, I’ll give double to your neighbor.”
The Socialist thinks for a moment and says “if you put out one of my eyes, will you blind my neighbor?”
That perfectly encapsulates the socialist mentality.
That’s what Schwab claimed. I did see that video, but I think Putin was just being cagey. Get on the inside and see how he can use world dynamics to his advantage.
They also don’t want you in their neighbourhood. That’s their main drive. The billionaires don’t mind driving everybody into abject poverty, because they believe they will mostly continue their lifestyles, even if reduced a bit. They are ok reducing their wealth to two or three generations worth if the rest of the world goes into pennies net worth.
It’s about social positioning for them.
Right, before Putin's invasion of Ukraine, there weren't many sitting heads of state who are happier to conference with good ole Schwab than Putin.
As I said, I am aware of this.
Outwardly, Putin was making nice, but that doesn’t mean he was being nice. Putin may have just been cagey. It’s better to position yourself on the inside, however you can,
If you have to pretend to do it, you pretend.
Pretend? Putin made a Keynote Address at the World Economic Forum in 2021.
Putin: Mr. Schwab, dear Klaus, Colleagues,
I have been to Davos many times, attending the events organized by Mr. Schwab, even back in the 1990s. Klaus just recalled that we met in 1992. Indeed, during my time in St Petersburg, I visited this important forum many times. I would like to thank you for this opportunity today to convey my point of view to the expert community that gathers at this world-renowned platform thanks to the efforts of Mr. Schwab...
I whole heartily agree.
This is nothing more that a power play.
Stolen elections have consequences.
Fixed it.
