Came across a great article on MSM today. Davos is Dead Davos is dead | Opinions | Al Jazeera


My goodness! This brought a tear to my eye today. Are the young kids FINALLY catching on??? Are we at a point where we can finally face the fact that these corporations have way too much power and questioning them is ok and not some act of disinformation or conspiracy theory though?


Are the young kids starting to realize their inequality and impending poverty can't be blamed on this Ism or that Ism? Many of us on the forum have talked about this topic until we are blue in the face. I don't want to get my hopes up because we still have so much work to do stripping away the layers of brainwashing spread by main stream media who go to any length necessary to hide, conceal and protect the big corporations? Can we finally agree that our problems do not stem from Democrat vs. Republican and understand the real issue is us vs. them?


God I hope so!!!!!!!!

And at the head of the serpent is the biggest, most vile of the corporations: the federal government.

The big difference is that I can choose not to buy the product of a corporation I do not believe in (a regular practice of mine), but I cannot choose not to buy "the product" of the federal government. It's similar to a private corporation that bakes poisonous water hemlock cookies and forces everyone to consume them.

I have a choice with corporations. I have no choice when it comes to the "federal government corporation." They forcibly take my money and spend it on anything they like whilst offering a "product" that would put a normal corporation out of business immediately.

Money in politics leads to this. The profit motive should not be put ahead of the well being of citizens.
This is -1000% right. Money- lobbyists write our laws. They really do -and pass them to the congress to sign or argue etc. But it’s written to always benefit them. Facts.

I read that Klaus Schwab, the guy behind the WEF and the great reset, has such a bad reputation by now that many people don't want to be associated with the WEF anymore

His father Eugen (on the right side on the photo) was a German Nazi industrialist:

Under the photo it says:

The founder of the World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, is pictured on the left. On the right is his father, Hitler's close confidant, the industrialist and fascist Eugen Schwab.

Klaus was born in Hitler's Germany in 1938. His father was then the head of Escher-Wyss, a strategic company of Nazi Germany, and had its own concentration camp where prisoners had to work for free.

Don't fool yourself that it's dead. It's not dead at all.
There have always been protesters against Davos and that never stopped them before.

Ukraine also played a little role. At a meeting in Davos Zelensky spoke and while everyone was applauding, the Chinese delegation just sat there without clapping and then they jointly left the meeting just like that.
Such a clear signal of disapproval from China is rare.

LOL China foolishly picked the side that they've had actual wars and conflicts with in recent history. And that particular side needs all kinds of crap from China to sustain it's hot war, otherwise China will have sided with the loser, making China a loser geopolitically. And now even Japan is talking crap about China and telling them to bring it. I think they've managed to PO all their neighbors actually except Russia.


Have they always sucked this bad at geopolitics???
