Totalitarianism is the warm bath in which civilization slits its wrists. It envelops the people with petty rules, strange dogmas, immoral duties, and forced sacrifices. It warms its victims with intoxicating promises of the government’s false love. It leaves the citizen naked — stripped first of his free will, then the thoughts in his head, and finally anything he once called his own. It slowly dispossesses each person of his personhood, until the population withers into frail, colorless facsimiles of the bleak, omnipresent State. Without the courage to act, the desire to think, the wisdom to pray, or the conscience to object, human purpose disappears. Society is exsanguinated of its vitality, creativity, spirituality, and mirth — until it slips beneath the water and stops breathing.
This was the story of Lenin’s Soviet Union and the imprisoned nations trapped behind Stalin’s Iron Curtain. It was the story of Hitler’s Germany, Mussolini’s Italy, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia. It has been the story of Kim’s North Korea, Castro’s Cuba, Chávez’s Venezuela, and the ayatollahs’ Iran. For over a century, humanity has endured one form of barbarous totalitarianism after the next. It slithers into unsuspecting countries — often hiding behind the mask of democratic elections. It misrepresents itself as just one political party of many before announcing itself as the only party for all. It seeks to eliminate opponents in stages: first it proselytizes, then it intimidates, and finally it murders. With a couple hundred million victims over the last century alone, it is a governing philosophy that specializes in mass executions, dank prison cells, killing fields, and concentration camps. Totalitarianism infiltrates society with lies and builds nothing but the machinery of death...

Most schools do not seem to be teaching history (too busy with transgenderism?). And those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors....
Be nice if all attendees of the WEF were all simultaneously vaporized... one can dream.
Maybe an alternative to the WEF should be set up... NEF Nationalistic Economic Forum.

“WEF Totalitarians Seek to Euthanize the West”
Obviously, but I get a kick how they manage to keep the West obsessed with wars halfway around the world (wars they started) while getting everything in place to implement their Final Solution on the SCOURGE that mankind (other than them) has imposed on this planet.
This country was founded on being skeptical of governments and our own Constitution was built around keeping it in check. It’s disheartening to see people content with government doing everything for them and thinking nothing is wrong.
Great piece. American Thinker still has what it takes.
The Nazi Klaus Schwab and his World Enslavement Forum think the Savages that are left will let them survive ,LOL
Good article. Thanks for posting. Collective v Individual. Government v Citizen. We the people, in order to form a more perfect union,...
WEF = EVIL collective. EVIL individuals in that collective. face-WORDS-DEEDS. Total CONTROL collective.
Orwell was wrong, Huxley had it exactly correct.
Totalitarianism at least today is not about Big Brother with its boot on our necks. It's all about football, movies, useless careers where men and woman forced to work, sugar and flouride.
The world’s wealthy know that what they have, or have even created, will be lost by their children. They punish others attempting to create a world where this cannot happen.
They believe that only universal poverty can protect their legacy, like the pyramids of Egypt were supposed to protect the wealth of the Pharos.
Television is not the truth. Television’s a g..d... amusement park. Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers, and football players.
We’re in the boredom-killing business.

Yep, someone tried to tell us in the mid 1900’s, when they told us it was called Tell-a-Vision, and that it involved ‘programming’. Of course, the programming was not the TV itself, the programming was what was being done to its viewers.
WEF thinks the world is overpopulated, unsustainable. Using Pandemics (Disease X next), vaccines, wars, drugs (fentanyl poisoning the blood of America) looks like their plan is working.
Outstanding article! Hits the nail on the head.
