It’s Another WEF WTF

The Davos Droids fly to Switzerland every year to offer their fealty (and perhaps some tribute) to the globalist gods. The World Economic Forum, the official cult, sets the narrative, and everyone who does penance walks away with instructions for the year. In early 2024, someone stole a page from Rodney King with Hey, can’t we all just get along? Translation: how do we get these people to toe our line?

Try not to read this while drinking anything (save that for after).

Increasing division, heightened hostility and a surge in conflicts are defining the current global landscape. The perpetual need for crisis management is depleting the crucial human energy that could otherwise be channeled into shaping a more optimistic future.

Despite facing serious crises in the past, the current wave of pessimism is unprecedented. And unlike the past, the power and presence of global media and communications technology today means that every challenge and setback is amplified, further magnifying the sense of doom and gloom.

After an era that lifted a billion people out of poverty and improved living standards everywhere, the anxiety about losing control over what lies ahead is pushing people towards embracing extreme ideologies and the leaders who champion them.

Rebuilding trust in our future is paramount. The question is where to start, given today’s complex circumstances.

Similar to a medical diagnosis, we must first identify and address the root causes of our malaise. We’re at a pivotal moment in history, yet we still cling to outdated solutions. Complicating matters is the fact that we’re grappling with many issues simultaneously, all of which are deeply interconnected and mutually reinforcing. There’s no quick fix or one-size-fits-all remedy. It’s about addressing all the symptoms in a holistic manner.

My takeaway is that 1) People have too much access to uncontrolled information, and 2) it is causing them to elect people like Donald Trump (which is terrible). Javier Milei. Jair Bolsonaro. Marine Le Pen. You get the idea. These non-globalists are portrayed as nationalists who are a threat to the stability of the world—people who favor individual rights over collective rights (see also rule).

These are the people causing all the chaos, which is – in true socialist-progressive fashion, precisely the opposite of the truth. The world was far more stable and peaceful when Donald Trump was president than Joe Biden (as one example). But the cold, dark Marxist heart wants what it wants so that historically exceptional stability is irrelevant in the wake of what we can define “globally, let’s say” as mean tweets.

And while the pull quote is ten months old, the agenda it reveals is timeless. We know better, you don’t. Ours is the way. Yours is not. Individual rights must give way to global interest. All of which is rubbish meant to normalize the destruction of the United States, a pesky bastard that is full of irrational, loud-mouthed, gun-toting, flag-waving miscreants.

America poses a unique problem, especially under Donald Trump. His last go-round, despite the all-out war waged against his agenda, advanced individual liberty and economic prosperity on a level deemed impossible by globalists like Obama (and his political friends and family). They tried to convince us that his stagnating economy was the new normal, and if we were thinking globally, he’d be right. Most of the world, the Western world in particular, has semi-socialized or deep-stated itself into decades of economic tiredness that can’t help but appear normal. Biden’s agenda recreates that, but Americans remember something better (under Trump).

If we can again achieve escape velocity, America will appear to the world (as it should) as a place where individuals can be whatever they want and define their success. This includes the opportunity to become very well off if they put in the time and effort—more than just lifted out of poverty, which the United States has excelled at for centuries.

The globalist world cannot brook such a beacon of opportunity or hope. People with the means will seek shelter there. Take risks on the potential for hope and the promise of a path they choose. Not everyone will discover the promise, but the alternative is to live as another dependent in the shadow of the super-state.

People like Donald Trump and Javier Milie are threats because they encourage the sort of risk required to secure individual liberty and its potential for success. They offer a chance to be something greater than your government would have you be. To prevent such opportunities, the globalists must stop the easy flow of information and its ability to advance politicians who believe in people before governments and individual rights before institutions. A communication that signals to people worldwide that they don’t need to live not just where they are but how they are.

It’s not been working out as planned (the displacement agenda aside). Ten months after this was published, Donald Trump won a sweeping victory and a mandate for change away from the globalist designs of the progressive-socialist malaise. They want and need a weak America.

They will fight him every step of the way, as hard or harder than last time.

Whether or not they unleash another plague, or the narrative needed to create one, remains to be seen, but Trumpism is a threat to Globalists, but not the people or the globe. The odds are excellent that we will see fewer wars, less death, more freedom, less division, and more prosperity before Donald Trump’s administration is over, and it should strike everyone as odd that anyone works to oppose that.
