The World Economic Forum’s Marie Antoinettes
American Thinker ^ | 22 Jan, 2024 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 01/22/2024 3:56:16 AM PST by MtnClimber

The critical conflict for humanity’s future will be fought between human beings who desire freedom and international institutions that seek totalitarian control.

During a grief counseling session for professional censors and propagandists, The Wall Street Journal’s editor-in-chief complained to the World Economic Forum’s aspiring tyrants: “If you go back really not that long ago ... we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts, as well. If it was said in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, then that was a fact.” To the great consternation of those who believe it is their noble prerogative to manipulate the public by controlling the narrative, ordinary people are now “much more questioning” about what is reported as truth. The public’s rising discernment troubles the “ruling class.” Perhaps that is why government schools refrain from sharpening students’ critical thinking skills these days. Authoritarianism thrives amid hive-mind ignorance.

So sorry, Davos dictators, we commoners are rapidly waking up to the bitter reality that corporate news spin-doctors are just as culpable for today’s civilizational chaos as the malicious central bank money-printers, out-of-control spy agencies, and multinational corporate behemoths that have long worked together to manipulate global events. We have opened our eyes and see you for the monsters that you really are.

That’s probably why two thirds of American “elites” (and surely an even larger share of their international comrades) believe that ordinary Americans enjoy too many individual freedoms (remember when Meghan’s future ex-husband Harry called the First Amendment, “bonkers”?). The public’s “awakening” surely also explains why a string of international despots took to the dais in Davos to tell the World Economic Forum’s power-hungry master race that the greatest threat to its continued global control is…free speech. Forget WWIII, lethal pandemics, cyberattacks, a debt bomb...

>i? When WEF members are so desperate to advance “climate change” communism that they demand fishing and farming be treated as “serious crimes” equal to “genocide,” rational people know that a new era of tyranny is here.

What Marie Antoinette said, often translated as, “Let them eat cake”, was actually more like, “Louis, Louis, give them cake!”

Marie Antoinette thought that giving the clamoring urban poor cake instead of bread was a greater kindness, and she also thought that Louis, with a snap of his fingers, could magically create the cake and distribute it.

The fruit cake comment was right on.

Antoinette avait résolu (bis)
De nous faire tomber sur le cul; (bis)
Mais le coup a manqué
Elle a le nez cassé

Dansons la Carmagnole
Vive le son,
Vive le son.
Dansons la Carmagnole
Vive le son du canon

Anytime the so called elites propose changes in the lifestyles of the masses, the response should always be “You First”. When they suggest we don’t fly, let them abandon their private jets, and fly commercial once a year for a few years. When they tell us to eat the bugs and not steaks, let their diets be closely monitored until 2028 to prove THEY ate insects exclusively over that time. No more mansions, parties, limos, yachts, etc. If they won’t do it, we won’t either.

I saw a post that Jamie Dimon said about Davos “where billionaires tell millionaires how middle class Americans should work harder to help the poor.”

So when can we start hunting them down and cutting their heads off?

Serious question.

On July 14,1789, the people of Paris had enough of the elites and stormed the Bastille, which had prisoners simply held there by the the king’s command. The guards were massacred, the hated Bastille was torn down with bare hands and started the French Revolution with all its excesses The WEF elites should learn from history.

“... rational people know that a new era of tyranny is here.”

But the 64k question is, will these rational people rise up, and WHEN?
