Vivek Ramaswamy Wins Lawsuit Against World Economic Forum
PJ Media ^ | 08/05/2023 | Ben Bartee

Posted on 08/05/2023 5:54:21 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Lots of ambitious politicians — like “basic Chinese dictatorship” admirer Justin Trudeau up north or any mainstream Democrat, for that matter — would be positively thrilled to earn the Young Global Leader designation from the World Economic Forum. It’s sort of like the “Top 40 Under 40” for aspirational authoritarian despots.

Vivek Ramaswamy, currently in a solid third place in GOP primary polling as the Trump-adjacent populist alternative to the former president, is apparently not one of the politicians jockeying for favor with the WEF.

Via Fox News:

Republican presidential candidate and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has settled his lawsuit against the “globalist” World Economic Forum (WEF) for “creating a false perception” he was affiliated with the organization, and has promised to donate the settlement money to a conservative nonprofit.

Ramaswamy slapped the organization with a lawsuit in a Cincinnati, Ohio court in April after it failed to remove his name from its 2021 list of Young Global Leaders even though he declined the nomination to the list and requested multiple times for them to remove his name.

“Two years ago, WEF tried to throw false bait by naming me a ‘Young Global Leader’ when I explicitly rejected their ridiculous award. They repeatedly failed to remove my name despite escalating demands. So I sued them. And we just succeeded,” Ramaswamy wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Tuesday.

This will not satisfy skeptics here at FR.

The ultimate question is, would Ramaswamy be so adamant about rejecting the much-coveted distinction (among a certain class of politician) if the GOP base, particularly the Trump base that Ramswamy is courting, were not so vehemently opposed to the machinations of the World Economic Forum?

Well then if they don’t let us vote for Trump, and they don’t like Vivek, I guess Biden or Newsome can be our potus next time.

Neither will pardon Trump. Both will make life incredibly worse for us.

I guess his acceptance of a Soros fellowship 12 years ago to attend Yale Law School when he was already a multi-millionaire was also false bait?

This guy is a Trojan horse. Hard pass.

Replace "Vivek" with "Romney" and you're half-way there. How did we get so stupid as to continuously fall for these false-flags and Trojan horses?

Would you refuse free money, with no strings attached?

This is a false issue.

His support of the homo-trans agenda and H1B visas is more troubling. Of those two the first is a deal breaker for me.

“ This will not satisfy skeptics here at FR.”

Not so much about being skeptics. It’s an ego thing. People don’t like to be proven wrong. If you present evidence contrary to what people believe (believe being the key word, ie not grounded in fact), it will make them angry and they will double or triple down in their beliefs.

“Trans in the military.”

I’ve heard him interviewed a number of times in recent days, he is certainly articulate, well educated, and self-made rich among other things. However when he stated that he supports these mentally ill sex perverts in the military and that WE taxpayers pay for these fag/creeps to have a pretend sex change was enough to make one vomit. NEVER.

He’s written a lot negative about “woke” corporate culture long before he was a presidential candidate.

IMHO he has promise but it’s not his turn yet. I think the deep state would run over him if somehow he won the presidency in 2024.

Maybe first be a secretary of treasury.

Who bankrolled Vivek’s legal expense, Soros? Soros bankrolled everything else for Vivek, and now want their rewards.

Vivek Ramaswamy Is Brahmin Hindu and that means he things Americans are about at the level of the untouchable class in his native India. If you thing Ramaswamy gives a sh!t about you the. you have put faith in the Klan with a Tan and are stupid beyond belief.

It really won’t. The same skeptics who claim Vivek is not constitutionally eligible.

Don’t be coy. You know it was NOT a George Soros fellowship.
