The Elites' Absurd Economic Crusade: Destroy Freedom to Save Humanity
New York Post ^ | January 17, 2024 | James Bovard

Posted on 01/20/2024 5:41:00 AM PST by yldstrk

Who would have guessed freedom of speech would become the biggest barrier to saving humanity?

Luckily, a fix is pending from the billionaires, political poohbahs and other weasels attending this week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

WEF has two big goals this year: “rebuild trust” and “crush dissent.”

OK, that last one is a paraphrase.

Instead, WEF is proclaiming the greatest peril humanity faces is “misinformation and disinformation.”

And how can we recognize “misinformation”?

Easy: It denies that Davos cronies should rule the world.

OK, that’s another paraphrase.

The federal government should not issue any more student loans.

Harvard and other famed universities have huge endowments.

I’m reminded of NYC subway cars.

It took a great deal of effort to keep them graffiti free.

(These people are insane)

The Godless Reprobate Globalists will bring on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, which includes Satan’s anti-messiah, the Antichrist.

One can plainly see this in virtually every idiotic agenda they come up with.

(these elitist types would lock the doors of the the only supermarket in a starving community)

It’s not a bug (pun intended).

It’s a feature.

I have a better idea: destroy the “elites” and save us all.

These people are insane.

Not at all.

They are offering comfortable slavery (a comfortable cage at the zoo with 3 squares a day) to people as an alternative to the harshness of so-called "freedom."

The are offering a lifestyle that is commensurate with that of a domesticated house cat or dog compared with feral, jungle freedom.

The population has already been conditioned to accept it.

This is the logic behind the Democrats' destruction of major cities and allowing illegals to pour over the border. The Democrats are turning America into a jungle that people will want to escape.

So where do they go? They enter into a state of slavery wherein they are promised an end to the jungle.

"You want law and order (the Democrats say)? Come back to the plantation."

(Jaques Cousteau was a strong globalist who advocated was to reduce the world population to 300 million)

No wonder PBS loved him so much.

I’m guessing that’s “advocated war”

Hence, our current situation where the lunatics are trying to make World War III a reality.

Think of slide projectors placed in certain places. Powerful flashlights are cheap.

Walmart had a $29 device that would show movies. It lacked keystone correction so there will be no Trump movies on my garage door this year.

There’s also the possibility of just taping a sheet of paper to a supermarket or restroom door.

USB flash drives can be bought for $2 each. Writable CDs I think are still available.

“make World War III a reality”

I was watching the HBO miniseries “Catherine the Great” on DVD last night.

Half of it was heavily concerned with Crimea.

Germany hoped to corner the solar panel market.

It failed and is now paying stiff prices for electricity.

This isn’t necessarily a crowded theater.

But...you should be more high minded.

You might also consider refraining from uttering gratuitous insults towards large groups of people.

I hope Trump will really hammer home the fact that the left hate natural born citizens. I hope he will say something along the lines of”

“If you want to be ruled over by tyrants who tell you that they know what is best for you, then vote Democrat. If you want to lose the preciou9s freedoms we enjoy, then vote Democrat. If you want want to be attacked and persecuted for,being a Christian, then vote Democrat. If you want to,be told what you can buy, and what you may not buy, then vote Democrat. If you want to be stranded in your h9me because your electric car is out of juice and there is an “energy crisis” and brown outs, and you can’t get to work, then vote Democrat. If you want to freeze during the winter because you can no longer buy heating systems that actually work in freezing cold temperatures, and you want to be told that you can’t have gas stoves, or gas lawnmowers, Hen vote democrat

If however you love you freedom, your liberty, you nation, then there is only one person to,vote for, and it ain’t Icky Haley, it’s Me! I will preserve your right to buy what you know and love, to live freely, to be free to buy bibles WITHOUT the govenrment snooping on you and keeping tabs on you because they think you are “domestic terrorists” because you love God and your savior!”

Etc etc etc. I hope he really hammers home the fact that the left ARE taking our rights away little by little, and show that they plan do ramp.up their tyranny and WEF standards by going all in next election if a democrat is voted or cheated in.

(I want guillotines.

I want them used.)

The guillotines will come. But they will be used to eliminate those who will not submit to the 666 economic system of the New World Order (Daniel 7:23) ruled by the Antichrist and the False Prophet. - Luke 21:34-36

That is exactly how the end times are gonna play out most likely- energy prices will be so,high that folks can’t afford to even go to work, they will,freeze, and swelter, and starve, due to insanely high prices, and out of desperation they will migrate to “safe towns” (likely 15 minute towns set up by Wef) where everyone will be given the basics of life. Only once they get there and get settled in, the promises they were offered will dissappear.

Oh, and in order to enter the “safe towns”, they will have to bow down and worship the beast, and take his number.

The news media will be proclaiming g that all of the holdouts who don’t go to the “safe towns”, the “utopian cities” run by their betters, are “domestic terrorists”, and th3 media will gaslight the public to ostracize the “dangerous independent terrorists” ie, no buying or selling to and from them.

The media will play up how wonderful the shiny new cities of refuge are, and will play up how simple it is to have your basic needs met.

Unsaved parents will be desperate to care for,their families, and readily buy into the lie, and think nothing of taking the simple easy to obtain mark.

I think we are being set up for end times with liberals going after things like oil and gas furnaces which save people’s lives in winter, and air conditioners which save folks lives in summer- I beleive their clamp down on fossil fuel run items are meant to reduce the population, and instill fear and panic as families sit around an asinine “heating pump” or whatever they call it, hoping not to freeze to death.

THey are also going after food, and ranches, etc. And more and more low info folks are jumping on the bandwagon thinking they are “doing the earth a fsvor” by eating bugs, and doing away with cows and meat products. 🍖

This old workd is in for one hell of a time, literally. And the long term planning of the evil left is taking shape worldwide- the left are putting businesses out of work, causing them to shut down due to 8mpossible,energy regulations fines, etc, but also due to allowing crime to run amok, causing businesses to,shut their doors for good.

The handwriting is on the wall.
