WEF experts say 'disinformation' is number one societal risk

What is there to say about the World Economic Forum? Climate czar John Kerry is a frequent flyer to the WEF, where they dine on beef while lecturing the world to stop eating meat to save the climate. They've unveiled the city of the future, a utopia called the "five-minute city" where millions of people live in a miles-long shopping mall enclosed in glass walls with everyone stacked on top of each other and that is 100 percent solar and wind-powered. (Projected completion date: 2045.)

It's hard to say which is worse: the UN or the WEF. Both should be ignored.

A year ago this month, the WEF had former CNN host Brian Stelter moderate a talk on "disinformation." Disinformation is one of those words that's lost all meaning. The Biden administration tried to kick off a Disinformation Governance Board headed up by a woman who called the Hunter Biden laptop story a "fairy tale set in a repair shop." Public backlash killed that off.

But the WEF thinks we should be very concerned about disinformation and misinformation … so much so that it has designated disinformation to be the No. 1 societal risk over the next two years, beating out "extreme weather events" and "societal polarization."

The 2024 Global Risks Report from the @wef (based on the opinions of some 1,500 experts) ranks misinformation and disinformation as the number #1 societal risk in the next 2 years! https://t.co/uWPIvybqZJ pic.twitter.com/dSu0c1IouM

"Experts."

If the so-called "experts" believe that misinformation is a bigger problem than war, perhaps the world leaders should not trust those particular people that much.

— Ramiro Ferrer (@RamiroFerrer) January 11, 2024

Is that because there are 40 major elections across the world this year and they don't want people to have access to real information?

— Peter Foley Author 📖 (@ThePeterFoley) January 11, 2024

Misinformation, to them, equals true information that they don't want people knowing.

— BigJuicyBootay (@BootayJuicy) January 11, 2024

Exactly what you'd expect from WEF. Their top two "risks" are nothing but elitist tools for controlling the masses.

If the experts think that misinformation is a bigger problem than war, then a way bigger problem than misinformation is that the experts are fucking idiots. https://t.co/USmbnxhh4m

— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) January 11, 2024

They think "Misinformation" is the biggest threat because they classify anything that brings their authority into question as misinformation.

— Dan Peters (@TheDanPeters) January 11, 2024

I am sure they reached this conclusion very scientifically.

— Robby Soave (@robbysoave) January 11, 2024

It’s a bigger threat to the experts because what they call misinformation is often information about how the experts are idiots

— Dr. Conservative Thought Leader™️ (@BigJebBos) January 11, 2024

I trust absolutely nothing that comes from the WEF.

— Ryan M. Spaeder (@theaceofspaeder) January 11, 2024

Totalitarianism and government/establishment propaganda is my #1 and #2.

— Rural Revolution (@pilgrimboy14) January 11, 2024

What they really mean is “information that is true but they don’t like it” (aka Malinformation) and It’s #1 because more than anything else it is what causes people to question and not listen to them.

— usual detritus (@usualdetritus) January 11, 2024

The “experts” are engineering/controlling the wars.

They are losing control over conversations which is why they have relabeled conversations as “misinformation” and are more worried about it.

— Andrew Hersh (@theAndrewHersh) January 11, 2024

The “experts” want to convince people misinfo is a big problem - so that they can justify putting their own “expert” stamp on content moderation policies. Who decides what info is true or false ? Who are these experts ?

— Institute for Better Internet (@4BetterInternet) January 11, 2024

That's why the U.S. government thought it had to pitch in with censoring "misinformation" on social media, such as conspiracy theories about the COVID lab leak. Fortunately, the courts have told the Biden administration to butt out.

That disinformation is the experts' No. 1 risk is disinformation.

They mean to suppress anyone contradicting them.

Who exactly elected them to be our bosses? And what will it take to be free of them?

Exactly. They would have us believe they have a monopoly on the truth. Anyone suggesting that is only interested in one thing: total control.

In these times, exposing a crime elicits a harsher punishment than committing the crime.
The reason is of course that the criminals control the narrative, the information flow and decides what is "true" or "false".

No, the WEF is the number one risk. They should just change their name to SPECTRE and be done with it.

They are lying.

But they are still lying.”

First time I’ve realized why those prosecutors refuse to prosecute criminals: they are criminals, too, along with Demonicrats.

WEF experts

WEF is not a place I go looking for experts. It's like asking a Biden spokeszir anything.

I wish the Russians would just solve their problem with the West by nuking Davos. Then we might all be able to get along.
