21st Century Robber Barons: the WEF
American Thinker ^ | 9 Dec, 2022 | Brian Parsons

Every extreme policy push in America of the last five years overlaps with the objectives and people of the World Economic Forum.

In the 1870s, the term “robber baron” was first used to describe an exploitative class of industrialists who utilized their wealth to create monopolies of resources and amass control in the fledgling United States. The name describes an illegitimate aristocracy of unelected plutocrats. John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie; all American industrial royalty whose names line the streets of America and the pages of our history books. One hundred fifty years later, we face a new global class of robber barons.

Once a year, the world’s richest and most influential people meet behind closed doors in Davos, Switzerland, to discuss the future direction of the globe. Known as the World Economic Forum, they were originally founded in 1971 by German engineer Klaus Schwab. Look at any major global policy push in recent history, and you’ll likely find the fingerprints of the World Economic Forum. From climate alarmism to ESG investing to our obsession with sustainability and population control or a push for centralized and authoritarian government, we find the handiwork of the World Economic Forum.

Earlier this year, a video surfaced of Mr. Schwab in 2017, openly bragging about infiltrating the cabinets of major governments worldwide by grooming a class of Young Global Leaders, including Angela Merkel of Germany, Justin Trudeau of Canada, and even Vladimir Putin. The World Economic Forum describes its Young Global Leaders program as “an accelerator for a dynamic community of exceptional people with the vision, courage, and influence to drive positive change in the world.” It is doubtful that their vision for positive change aligns with that of the plebian class, but they aren’t too concerned with that.

We will have nothing. We will learn to eat bugs. We will have no privacy. But we will be happy.

“Robber Barons” did an enormous amount of lasting good for the country and humanity. WEF uses forcibly taken taxpayer money for their own worthless destructive schemes and ideology.

The Robber Barrons built the railroads, Steel mills, and factories which were used to make military equipment for the winning of WW1 and WW2. Without the robber barons, the Germans and Japanese would have won WW2. The government of the USA caused the Great Depression to happen.

Any American politician or citizen in WEF, or attending a WEF meeting, should be put on a terrorist watch list, and charged with sedition.

The organization should be outlawed and named a terrorist organization.

WEF-participating Americans who are then found not guilty of sedition (tribunal not trial) and who want to return to the fold would need to swear an oath of allegiance to our nation and constitution.

We need to start insisting on some standards of behavior for our citizens. It is NOT OK for Americans to belong to organizations whose purpose is to dissolve our country by ignoring our laws in favor of those of globalist creeps like Schwab, Gates, and Soros.
