The UBER Files & Their Connection To The World Economic Forum. This Is Really About "The Shared Economy" & Owning Nothing. No Cars, No Property.

Sometimes you speed read a BBC article that you see on Twitter and don’t think much of it but then something in it stands out. This was exactly the case when I read about the Uber Files and how a $90m-a-year lobbying and public relations effort recruited friendly politicians to help in its campaign to disrupt Europe's taxi industry.

“Uber Files: Massive leak reveals how top politicians secretly helped Uber”

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-62057321

You are about to read what the MSM won’t tell you. It’s just a case of joining up the dots and being a critical thinker rather than a conspiracy theorist. Let’s crack on.

The Uber Files, were obtained by the Guardian newspaper and shared with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) and other media partners, including The Irish Times. The cache includes emails, text messages and other documents from 2013 to 2017, when Uber was barging into cities in defiance of local laws and regulations, dodging taxes and seeking to grind into submission the taxi industry, most prominently, but also trade union activists.

I hopped across to the Guardian to see what they had to say with their article

“Uber broke laws, duped police and secretly lobbied governments, leak reveals”

Here are the two paragraphs in the article that grabbed my attention.

They’re really doing it. This is going to start the bloodiest war in human history.

Did you read the whole think and watch the 6 minute WEF video?

Sad part is that a lot of people will gladly accept it. All those people who own the stuff in their homes plus, on and off, a POS car. Ownership of big things is scary, difficult and expensive. There’s a lot more people like that than there were a few decades ago.

There will be no bloody war. Conservatives will hide behind scary memes and that’s all. The premise of the article is false (own nothing et al). It was falsified by a fear mongering YouTuber. If you want to know what the WEF is doing follow them on FB. If nothing else, many of us, thousands of us have found it to be an excellent investment tool.

I never said anything about a bloody war. That was poster #2.

“The Shared Economy” & Owning Nothing. No Cars, No Property.”

All I know is that if Soros and Klaus Schwab lose in Ukraine, their dream of making life miserable in the West will be far more difficult since the countries, starting with Russia, that are outside of their control will be living the (present) Western lifestyle, or at least be given the chance to achieve such.

You’re still pretending that Putin isn’t following orders? Without his invasion, the Great Reset was dead in the water. Covid failed. The vaccines weren’t deadly enough, quickly enough.

The only available option to them was war, and your hero obliged them with Plan B. There was full knowledge on all sides of how the banking system would change, as well as the commodities and their markets.

There are no “nations” to the WEF. Only pieces to move on their board. They own ALL of the major players, on both fictional “sides” to this conflict, and every nation on the planet.

You really need to open your eyes Bob. We’ve all been played. Wakey wakey.

“You’re still pretending that Putin isn’t following orders? Without his invasion, the Great Reset was dead in the water.”

Without the invasion, Russia comes under the control of NATO, but locating large bases and short-range nukes on Russia’s border and therefore very difficult/impossible to intercept (something that functional countries haven’t permitted).

But you’re welcome to continue with your master plan theory, if that makes you happy.

In California the taxi industry bribed the democrats to block Uber and other competition. What happened was the independent trucking industry ended up taking a big hit which was collateral damage.

There are no “nations” to the WEF.

Straight out of the movie “Network”....

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.

It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!

Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state — Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.

We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there’s no war or famine, oppression or brutality — one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.

WTH, what insanity is this. Trump is a member of the WEF. He’s an Agenda Contributer. Quit listening to the fear mongers. https://www.weforum.org/search?query=Donald+j+trump

“WTH, what insanity is this. Trump is a member of the WEF. He’s an Agenda Contributer. Quit listening to the fear mongers.”

So he gave a speech there, and by the website you posted, it certainly DID NOT sound like the WEF Agenda, but just like any speech he gives to his supporters or a sales pitch for investing in the US.

For example:

“I pledged to eliminate two unnecessary regulations for every one new regulation. We have succeeded beyond our highest expectations. Instead of two-for-one, we have cut TWENTY-TWO burdensome regulations for every ONE new rule.”

I have no idea who’s selling you on what you’re posting here.

Obviously you did not read the link. I would have expected no less. I tried. Your theory of the WEF is based on misinformation perpetuated by YouTubers. Trump is listed as an Agenda Contributer, same as Soros and 100s of others.

“selling me? I’ve been researching the WEF for years. No one sells me anything.”

Then let me know what was “Globalist” regarding the Trump speech that you linked me to.

You welcome to call me a victim of the “Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy” or whatever you think controls me, but I’d say you trying to claim Trump is in bed with the WEF borders on trolling.

I linked to ALL Trump’s WEF info. You obviously missed the first one, before speeches. I’m not saying you’re wrong about Trump (except ‘the plan’) but that your theories of the WEF are wrong. Both parties are involved. It’s been discussed numerous times over the years. It’s viewed as a compromise. If you watch Trump’s speeches you will see Klaus’ praise, as he too sees it the same way. Do all Contributers see it the same? No. That’s because it’s not about a one world gov, just the agenda - how they do that is irrelevant and left to them and their countries. Which is what Trump’s speech was about. Is it a good Agenda, that I can’t answer, but it’s here. You’ve been living The great reset since 2018. You’re welcome to wallow in your room and gloom, but you can’t see the WEF as you do SND Yep ad you do. Find consistency.

Well, you’ll have as much telling me I’m clueless as I will trying to do the same to you.

...so that’s that.

Auto correct, strikes again. You can’t keep your current view of the WEF AND Trump at the same time. Find a way to a consistent narrative.
