This is the Iron Will Report weekly news for the week ending June 21st.
In this week’s edition, Natural Born Canadians are soon to be a minority in Canada; Trudeau’s Liberals are projected to become an endangered species in the next election; monthly mortgage payments are projected to increase by 17% overall; Klaus Schwab predicts his consciousness will be transferred to an AI; and a special report on World War 3. It may be coming in the next few months.
Those and seven more stories that mainstream media won’t report and our government doesn’t want you to hear.
A third of Canadians will be foreign-born by 2041 based on current immigration trends, according to a Statistics Canada briefing note. And Canadian born residents may soon be a minority in some cities.
“The non-permanent resident population living in Canada was estimated at 2,511,437 people, more than the total Indigenous population of Canada,” said the February 7th Notes For Chief Statistician. “The increase in the number of non-permanent residents was mainly due to an increase in the number of work and study permit holders.”
The figure included 471,550 landed immigrants, another 766,520 temporary foreign workers and more than a million foreign students, according to Department of Immigration data. Currently, foreign-born residents account for 23 percent of Canada’s population, “by far the highest of the G7 countries,”. By comparison only 14 percent of United States residents were not born in America.
Projections suggest this proportion could reach 32 percent by 2041 or one in three Canadians.
And because immigrants overwhelmingly elect to move to large cities where they can more easily access assistance programs, the percentage of foreign-born residents will be much higher there. In Toronto, by 2041, projections show natural born Canadians will be a minority. “The rural or small town population of foreign born Canadians is predicted to be only 10%.
The Statistics Canada document said 2022 was the first year in Canadian history that temporary foreign residents — students and migrant labour — outnumbered landed immigrants.
A U.K. report released in May by the Centre for Policy Studies shows that contrary to leftist claims that unbridled immigration is good for the economy the opposite is in fact true. Supporters of large-scale immigration like to point to increasing GDP charts as proof of the good that immigration is doing for a country, while ignoring the effect upon individuals.
In fact, this chart shows that as migration reaches 1.5% annually, GDP per capita begins to drop dramatically. Canada’s population growth from immigration last year was 3.1%.
Trudeau’s Liberals are set to lose big in the next election, falling to 4th place behind the Conservatives, NDP, and even the Bloc Quebecois in the most recent polls. According to the latest Abacus poll, the Trudeau Liberals are expected to lose 123 seats in the next election, losing their stronghold in the GTA and falling behind both the NDP and BQ for what will be one of the most historically poor performances in Canadian history.
Conversely, based on projections of data from Abacus, the Conservative Party is gearing up for one of the greatest majorities in Canadian history, gaining 104 seats for 223 total seats,
while the BQ will gain 11 for 43, the NDP will gain 13 for 38, and the Liberals will fall to 37 from their current 160.
Moreover, it doesn’t look like the Liberals will gain the majority of support in a single province, with the only province they’re ahead of the Conservatives in (Quebec) being dominated by the Bloc Quebecois.
According to a another recently published Abacus poll, Canadians rate the rising cost of living, housing affordability and accessibility, healthcare, the general economy, and immigration being too high as their top 5 issues. Climate change, the only concern in which the Liberals are leading, has dropped to sixth place.
Interest rate hikes will make many mortgage holders poorer for years to come, according to a Bank of Canada report released Monday. Researchers estimated by 2027 disposable incomes for borrowers will be lower on average.
Canada already has the lowest disposable income of the G7 nations. This despite the fact that rates are starting to fall.
Monthly payments for homeowners holding $2.16 trillion in mortgages are currently up nine percent from 2022 “and will likely increase by another 17 percent on average by 2027,” said the report Impacts Of Interest Rate Hikes On The Consumption Of Households With A Mortgage. “These increases in mortgage payments have caused declines in average disposable income of three percent by April since 2022 and will likely cause a decline of up to five percent by 2027,”
The Bank’s next rate announcement is due July 24. Governor Tiff Macklem on June 6 lowered the key interbank loan rate by a quarter point to 4.75 percent but this won’t help much.
Remember that the rapid increase in interest rates only began in early 2022, and many homeowners have mortgages that are on 5-year renewals. This means the bulk of mortgages that were taken out at very low rates prior to then will come up for renewal in the next 3 years.
A total 24 percent of Canadians surveyed said their monthly household expenses were more than they earned. A total 35 percent said they were “keeping up but sometimes it is a struggle,” said the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada’s Financial Well-Being Survey. A total 22 percent of Canadians surveyed said they borrowed from friends or family to meet expenses.
Thirteen percent told researchers they were “falling behind with bills or credit commitments.” 71 percent of Canadians surveyed complained “finances control my life,” 65 percent agreed “I am just getting by financially” and 38 percent carried a credit card balance.
World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab has told his unelected globalist organization’s so-called “Young Global Leaders” that they will continue to live on even after they die. According to Schwab, WEF members can continue to expect to enjoy more than just a “career of 50 years.”
Through the use of technology and “injections,” Schwab says WEF Young Global Leaders “will continue to live.”
Schwab promises young globalists that, even after they die, their brains “will be replicated through artificial intelligence and algorithms.”
He made the comments in a leaked video which was recorded during a private indoctrination session for WEF Young Global Leaders
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”Edmund Burke, 1729-1797If you do nothing in a difficult time, your strength is limited. Proverbs 24 Millions of people around the world are beginning to figure out that there is a force—an evil cabal—trying to take over the entire planet. This force has influenced leaders of every persuasion in every country and has been remarkably successful in putting a vast number of governmental, religious, educational, medical, corporate, and institutional leaders in a sort of trance… zombie-like, to do their will.
This force has faces…Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Biden, Obama, Clinton, and hundreds of others—all doing the work of the World Economic Forum. Archbishop Vigano has been stalwart in his opposition to what is called the New World Order or Great Reset and probably knows of it better than most, for it has invaded even his Church. He calls it as it is: “a dystopian society, without past and without future, without faith and without ideals, without culture and without art, without fathers and mothers, without family and spirituality, without teachers and spiritual guides, without either respect for the elderly or hopes for our children.
The recent pandemic farce—conducted with criminal methods that I have not hesitated to denounce since the beginning of 2020—has been followed by new emergencies—including the Ukrainian crisis—deliberately provoked with the aim of destroying the social and economic fabric of nations, decimating the world population, and concentrating control in the hands of an oligarchy that no one has elected and that has perpetrated a real-world coup d’état, for which sooner or later it will be called to answer before the world.
…the electoral fraud of 2020 in the United States of America was also indispensable to prevent the confirmation of President Donald Trump, just as in 2013 the deep state and the deep church managed to get Pope Benedict XVI to resign and to elect a person pleasing to the New World Order.”
National leaders are going out of their way to destroy their collective countries. These chief executives and oligarchs, feeling a New World Order is inevitable, are merely vying for a high position in what they think will be a new society. It is not more evident than here in the United States. These leaders make decisions that no one understands…destroying the election system of the greatest democracy in the world, ignoring the needs of their citizenry, and destroying the military and police departments with no regard for national security, citizen safety, or law and order. Gone are energy independence, dozens of food processing plants (it’s become a global phenomenon), and hundreds of farms (meat and dairy are bad, but bugs are good). Millions of illegal migrants pour into our countries without vetting, background or medical checks. Victims of disasters are fending for themselves. They distribute vaccines that are ineffective and have killed as many people as the disease. They print trillions, affecting nothing while creating massive inflation. Whole cities have become lawless, forcing businesses and families to pack up and leave. Stores that remain are locking up items like toothpaste while the middle class tries to cope. Billions are spent on migrants, while veterans are homeless. And then along comes COVID 2.0 with more vaccines on the way.
Biden kicks back as America crumbles—our very own Nero, who fiddles while America burns. Do we simply watch as they harass, assault, imprison, and kill innocents for insurrection while we observe theirs? The Left seems unaffected by it all. Are they that secure about the 2024 election results? Is the fix already in?
Is it treason to deny the people the right to freely choose the government they want? Is it treason to make the 1st Amendment ambiguous? And when people question an election, is it treason to imprison them without trial? Could such extreme paranoia indicate guilt? Do we call it treason when a president flagrantly ignores Supreme Court decisions? Is it treason to destroy all checks and balances within our federal government and establish a one-party system? Is it treason to allow and possibly cause the destruction of whole towns, killing hundreds of men, women, and children? Is it treason to cause false flags to hide ominous covert activity? Obama’s presidency was rife with crime and corruption. Is it reasonable to assume that Obama knew nothing of Biden’s and Clinton’s marketplace of political influence? Is it treason to purposely destroy what you have been entrusted with protecting?
What is so bizarre is their denial of what is right in front of us. A good example is the Lahaina fire. Why did the police block the exits so people could not find safety? Why was there no water or a warning of any kind? Why have they placed a black curtain wall around the town so even the press can’t see what is going on? The Maui mayor’s press conference was pathetic. He spent more time throwing up his hands and raising his shoulders than answering questions from the press. You could feel the tension in the room. Mayorkas watches while the border is like a subway at rush hour, and he insists everything is secure. And the silence from the opposition about everything that is going on has been deafening. It’s a sort of fictional political novel, a tragedy, where an entire political party decides to dismantle a great nation, but the people wait for an answer from the opposition that never comes. Their default is to sit back and test the wind or just freeze in disbelief, proving their dysfunction.
So, the ‘opposition’ sits back and assures us that another election is coming, not comprehending the damage to the country and not having the foresight or the intelligence to understand that the next election will be a repeat of the last, if it even occurs. The RINOS sit even further in their seats, waiting for a political opportunity. They are worse than traitors.
There is some good news we need to cheer about that you will not get in the mainstream press. A collection of 1,609 scientists, including Nobel Prize winners from around the world, signed the World Climate Declaration in August, announcing that there is NO CLIMATE EMERGENCY. They maintain that the climate has always changed and always will and that carbon dioxide is essential for life on this planet, not the villain they portend. They complain that politicians have weaponized it for their own purposes. And their purposes are power and money. We have seen these things, but we were, for too long, a voice crying in the wilderness.
There are still those who are planning a return of the USA. They will destroy not America but the deep state, the unelected bureaucrats that believe they are the real power in Washington and continue to abuse it.
Like Trump or not, no one strikes fear into the hearts of the Left like Donald Trump.
People see, but they do not understand. People hear, but they do not comprehend. In the meantime, politicians both see and hear, but ignore. It is treason by omission. To witness a house burning with people inside and watch apathetic firefighters loiter outside, or worse yet, prevent victims from escaping, is worse than criminal. To hear children screaming from inside a school as they are being shot while police are gathered outside is beyond any reasonable limits.
Those who have taken the oath of office have an obligation, a duty to preserve and protect the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic without regard to self, or was that only reserved for our founders?
Our recent Access to Information filings revealed just how chummy the Liberals’ finance ministry is with the World Economic Forum (WEF).
The WEF, chaired by its founder Klaus Schwab, aims to influence governments worldwide to implement its vision and shape policies to comply with the organization’s agenda, which includes digital IDs, carbon budgets, no animal agriculture and a reset of the world economy.
Of course, this shouldn’t come as a surprise since our finance minister and deputy PM, Chrystia Freeland, sits as a board member of the WEF. Conflict of interest much?
In the documents we obtained thanks to donations at www.RebelInvestigates.com, we learned that while Bill Morneau served as finance minister for Trudeau, he only sent out a couple of communications to this ominous globalist front group.
But once Chrystia Freeland took over, the communications between her and the WEF exploded!
So what do our two-timing deputy PM’s office and the WEF have to talk about?
Davos: Gates, Schwab, Global Elites Face Growing Criticism of Their ‘Master the Future’ Agenda
Thousands of prominent political and business figures are congregating in Davos, Switzerland, this week for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, as critics accused them of “centralizing power into the possession of hand-picked global elites.” By Michael Nevradakis, Ph.D. 83
In promoting ”The Great Reset” in 2020, Schwab said the COVID-19 “pandemic represents a rare but narrow window of opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset our world.”
The WEF’s 2016 vision for the future — “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better” — has also raised eyebrows.
In its mission statement, the WEF claims “it is independent, impartial and not tied to any special interests.”
The statement continues:
“The Forum strives in all its efforts to demonstrate entrepreneurship in the global public interest while upholding the highest standards of governance. Moral and intellectual integrity is at the heart of everything it does.”
However, critics describe the WEF as a “fanatical political organization masquerading as a neutral entity” with the goal of “centralizing power into the possession of hand-picked global elites” and for operating with no public input or accountability.
Some critics argue the WEF’s annual meeting “acts as the go-to in-person, invite-only, closed to ideological outsiders policy and ideas shop for the global ruling class.”
Statements emerging from this year’s meeting have done little to quell concerns about the WEF’s real agenda.
The Defender examines some of the key themes of this year’s meeting — taking place under a militaristic security blanket and amid accusations that participants are not practicing what they preach when it comes to their own behavior.
Key themes this year include “combating misinformation,” promoting “public-private partnerships,” “green” politics, buzzwords such as “DEI,” “resiliency” and “sustainability,” “health security,” and continued digitization via the metaverse and “smart” technologies.
Schwab opines on the importance of ‘mastering the future’
“We see the manifold political, economic and social forces creating increased fragmentation on a global and national level. To address the root causes of this erosion of trust, we need to reinforce cooperation between the government and business sectors, creating the conditions for a strong and durable recovery.
“At the same time there must be the recognition that economic development needs to be made more resilient, more sustainable and nobody should be left behind.”
In his opening address, Schwab said that current crises around the world, ranging from COVID-19 to the high cost of living, are “serving as catalytic forces for the economic transformation,” adding that “through collective responsibility, innovation and human goodwill and ingenuity, we have the capacity to turn such challenges into opportunities.”
“What does it mean to master the future? I think to have a platform where all stakeholders of society are engaged — governments, business, civil societies, young generation … I think is the first step to meet all the challenges.”
Schwab also used his opening remarks to address criticism levied against the WEF in recent years. However, he said the WEF and its global partners must “overcome” such “negative critical and confrontational attitudes.”
In a blog post, investigative journalist Jordan Schachtel noted that the WEF appears to be “playing defense” in response to the “major headwinds” its “extremist agenda” faces, by claiming that it is the victim of “disinformation campaigns.”
For instance, an Aug. 5, 2022, article in Canada’s The Globe and Mail stated the infamous “own nothing and be happy” quote “sparked a misinformation campaign,” even though Schachtel noted that the phrase originated from the WEF itself. The article containing the quote was written by Adrian Monck, now the WEF’s managing director.
‘Annual pilgrimage to genuflect to Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab’
The roster of speakers at this year’s WEF meeting represents a proverbial “who’s who” of the global political, business, journalistic and nonprofit elite.
Referencing the significant number of journalists participating as panelists and speakers, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., chairman and chief litigation counsel for Children’s Health Defense, said:
“The American press makes its annual pilgrimage to genuflect to Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab and get its marching orders from the billionaires.”
Among this year’s WEF meeting speakers are 52 heads of state and government, including representatives of royal families, and 56 national finance ministers, 35 ministers of foreign affairs, 30 ministers of commerce and 19 governors of central banks.
The U.S. contingent at this year’s meeting includes key Biden administration and intelligence community figures, including FBI Director Christopher Wray, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, Secretary of Labor Martin J. Walsh, U.S. Agency for International Development Administrator Samantha Power, U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and several members of Congress from both parties.
Schachtel said the U.S. delegation is smaller than last year’s, which he attributed to “the massive blowback the World Economic Forum has received.”
European heads of state, such as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Prime Minister of The Netherlands Mark Rutte, are among the speakers, alongside European royal figures such as Queen Mathilde of the Belgians, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands and Prince Albert II of Monaco. A large contingent of Ukrainian politicians also is attending.
Key business and financial figures on the speaker’s list include BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and Bain & Company Chairman Orit Gadiesh, alongside the governors of central banks of countries such as France, Israel and The Netherlands.
Five representatives of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are on the speaker’s list, as are editors and journalists from outlets such as The Associated Press, Reuters and The Washington Post, and Axios, Bloomberg, CBS, CNBC, CNN, Deutsche Welle, The Economist, the Financial Times, Forbes, Foreign Affairs, Fortune, Fox Business, NBC, The Atlantic, The New York Times, Politico and The Wall Street Journal.
There’s also no shortage of Big Tech and fintech representatives on the WEF speakers lineup, including executives from Google, LinkedIn, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, alongside Mastercard and Visa.
Notably, George Soros, chair of Soros Fund Management and founder of the Open Society Foundations, said in a Jan. 10 tweet that he will not be in attendance at this year’s WEF meeting “due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict.” Soros’ son, Alexander Soros, deputy chair of the Open Society Foundations, is on the roster, however.
According to Andrew Lawton, a journalist with Canadian outlet True North:
“Everyone at the World Economic Forum annual meeting — including journalists and participants — has to take a PCR test upon arrival. If you don’t take a test, the chip in your ID badge is deactivated. If you test positive for COVID the badge is also deactivated.”
Lawton reported that “private bilateral and multilateral” meetings among participants are likely also being held, “which don’t appear on the programme.”
‘We are a select group of human beings’
Despite the presence of so many high-level figures at the annual WEF meeting, Schwab has previously said he doesn’t make “political statements or economic statements which are … in any way influencing political personalities.”
In the leadup to this year’s meeting, the WEF raised some eyebrows with its list of the “Top 10 Risks” facing the world over a two- and 10-year period, including the “cost of living crisis,” “erosion of social cohesion” and “large-scale involuntary migration.”
According to Lawton, corporate executives view the benefit of participation in the WEF meeting as “face-time with politicians,” while NGO leaders focus on getting “an audience with business leaders (potential donors) and policy-makers.”
Nevertheless, perhaps revealing how participants view their role as WEF invitees, Kerry, speaking at this year’s meeting, said, “We are a select group of human beings” who “sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet.”
During this session, Moulton blamed “mis info” for not “get[ting] people to take a COVID vaccine,” while Sulzberger described “disinformation” as “the most existential” challenge society faces, and Jourová suggested “disinformation” could be fought via enacting “increased regulations,” calling on the U.S. to pass hate speech legislation.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), speaking on another panel, said, “The problem we have is the open press system and basically all the platforms.”
Public-private partnerships: solutions to the world’s problems or ‘top-down vision for technocratic tyranny’?
In its Twitter bio, the WEF describes itself as “The international organization for public-private cooperation.” This is evident in its description of this year’s meeting, where the WEF says, “We’ll look at how we can tackle the numerous and interlinked challenges the world is facing and find solutions through public-private cooperation.”
A Jan. 17 press conference at this year’s meeting, for instance, was titled “Philanthropic-Public-Private Partnerships for Climate & Nature,” and included participants from the Bezos Earth Fund and McKinsey & Company, as well as Børge Brende, former Norwegian foreign minister and current WEF president.
Brende said, “Time is running out to address critical global challenges” and he introduced the concept of “stakeholder geopolitics” as a means of tackling them.
Also on Jan. 17, Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Albares Bueno, said the COVID-19 and Ukraine crises “have shown us that the best method is to do things together,” as “we get out of crises quicker and in better shape.”
Schachtel described this focus as “a public-private fascist movement,” where the WEF partners with the “most influential individuals in business, along with central bankers, governmental head honchos, and international organizations, in order to facilitate their top-down vision for technocratic tyranny, or what they call ‘stakeholder capitalism.’”
Leaders arrive in ‘droves of private jets’ to talk ‘Green’ politics
Lawton reported that multiple participants at this year’s conference discussed ideas for how we can transition to a “climate positive lifestyle.”
Gore suggested that activities considered to be “anti-climate” should be defunded, while Guterres said, “To stop our ‘self-defeating war on nature,’ we must close the emissions gap, phase out coal, and supercharge the renewable revolution,” adding that oil companies have perpetuated a “big lie” on climate change.
In turn, Oxford University professor Ngaire Woods suggested the implementation of a “real carbon price” by every country, in order to accelerate the energy transition, while in an interview outside the official meeting schedule, Schwab Foundation member Kola Masha talked about “forcing” environmental policy on the public.
Lawton observed that all WEF meeting participants, upon registration, were surveyed “to calculate their carbon footprint for attending the meeting in Davos.”
Articles on the WEF website complementing the meeting program suggest, “Why you should consider adding carbon credits to your climate action plan,” and how cities can adopt “environmental, social, governance” (ESG) management utilizing the metaverse and blockchain, and ideas like the “15 minute city” and “traffic filters.”
In an interview with Nicholas Lyons, Lord Mayor of the City of London, when asked why WEF participants engaged with China in light of its severe lockdowns, he pivoted to climate change, stating, “Human rights issues are always a concern … but also you have to understand, the biggest challenge facing the world is climate change.”
‘DEI,’ ‘ESG,’ ‘resiliency’ and ‘sustainability’: Popular buzzwords dominate panel discussions
This year’s WEF meeting program, and the talks delivered by many of its participants, are peppered with repeated mentions of in-vogue buzzwords, including “DEI” (diversity, equity, inclusion), “resiliency” and “sustainability.”
This is evident in the WEF’s description of the meeting, where Schwab is quoted saying, “There must be the recognition that economic development needs to be made more resilient, more sustainable and nobody should be left behind,” while the description also talks about the need for “industry resilience.”
Vicki Hollub, CEO of Occidental Petroleum, commented during the meeting that, “As we transition, we must not leave developing countries behind,” while Bob Sternfels, global managing partner of McKinsey & Company, said, “Companies that act in a resilient way outperform their peers by up to 50%.”
Fink, a member of the WEF Board of Trustees and a major proponent of ESG, participated in the “Relaunching Trade, Growth and Investment” panel. Another panel, “Technology for a More Resilient World,” included participants from the WEF, IBM, Accenture and The Atlantic.
And as part of the agenda for this year’s meeting, the WEF also suggested that “consumers want sustainable options” and provided suggestions for “what producers, suppliers, and retailers can do now.”
Notably, however, in remarks made to Bloomberg, Fink complained that “the narrative around ESG investing has become ugly” and has led to “huge polarization” — a statement perhaps indicative of the increasing criticism being levied toward Fink, BlackRock, the WEF and other associated entities.
For instance, in a recent tweet, Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk remarked “The S in ESG stands for Satanic.” The WEF’s Twitter account is not included in the “How to follow Davos 2023” pamphlet distributed by the WEF.
And, perhaps spelling out what underscores discussions of “inclusiveness,” “sustainability” and “resilience,” a WEF article accompanying this year’s meeting agenda titled “5 dimensions of leadership to address complex challenges” includes, as one of its dimensions, “Muscles: perseverance to translate ideas into action.”
Future ‘pandemics’ and ‘global health security’: Will tuberculosis be the next pandemic scare?
Another prominent theme at this year’s WEF meeting is how to deal with “future pandemics” and “global health security.”
Participants in “Ending Tuberculosis: How Do We Get There?” included WHO Secretary-General Tedros and representatives from the WEF, The Washington Post, the Wellcome Trust and The Global Fund.
Investigative journalists Avi Yemini and Ezra Levant of Rebel News located Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on the streets of Davos today and bombarded him with 29 questions — to which Bourla provided two responses: “Thank you very much” and “Have a nice day.”
In a separate street interview, AstraZeneca Chairman Leif Johansson was more talkative, admitting to Yemini that the COVID-19 vaccines never stopped the spread, but nevertheless justifying the vaccine mandates. According to Yemini, “He scrambled behind the restricted area before I could ask about the recent rise in ‘sudden deaths.’”
The ‘metaverse’ and ‘smart’ technologies: global ‘cooperation’ or global control?
This year’s meeting continues the WEF’s promotion of digital technologies such as the “metaverse” and other “smart” technologies, as solutions for multiple global challenges.
According to Schachtel, the WEF will announce “the first, and long-awaited, outputs of the Defining and Building the Metaverse Initiative,” including briefing papers on “Interoperability in the Metaverse” and “Demystifying the Consumer Metaverse.”
Also this year, Schwab, Microsoft Vice Chairman and President Brad Smith, and Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture, shared a vision for the so-called “Global Collaboration Village.” Schwab said the initiative can be “trusted” because INTERPOL is participating in the effort.
This “Global Collaboration Village” was first announced in May 2022, as a means to “harness the power of the metaverse to grow and diversify participation in advancing the global public interest.” Panelists this year presented the benefits of a “global VR society” — referring to virtual reality — that would be “without borders.”
The embattled von der Leyen said this week, “the next decades will see the greatest industrial transformation of our times, maybe of any time,” in a clear reference to “The Great Reset” and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
Investigative journalist Noor Bin Ladin characterized von der Leyen’s statement as a “chilling message if you know what this Globalist shill is talking about: Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and other recent technology advancements [which] are absolutely essential for … the digital jails in which we’ll be trapped.”

Key business and financial figures on the speaker’s list include BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and Bain & Company Chairman Orit Gadiesh, alongside the governors of central banks of countries such as France, Israel and The Netherlands.
Five representatives of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are on the speaker’s list, as are editors and journalists from outlets such as The Associated Press, Reuters and The Washington Post, and Axios, Bloomberg, CBS, CNBC, CNN, Deutsche Welle, The Economist, the Financial Times, Forbes, Foreign Affairs, Fortune, Fox Business, NBC, The Atlantic, The New York Times, Politico and The Wall Street Journal.
There’s also no shortage of Big Tech and fintech representatives on the WEF speakers lineup, including executives from Google, LinkedIn, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, alongside Mastercard and Visa.
Notably, George Soros, chair of Soros Fund Management and founder of the Open Society Foundations, said in a Jan. 10 tweet that he will not be in attendance at this year’s WEF meeting “due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict.” Soros’ son, Alexander Soros, deputy chair of the Open Society Foundations, is on the roster, however.
According to Andrew Lawton, a journalist with Canadian outlet True North:
“Everyone at the World Economic Forum annual meeting — including journalists and participants — has to take a PCR test upon arrival. If you don’t take a test, the chip in your ID badge is deactivated. If you test positive for COVID the badge is also deactivated.”
Lawton reported that “private bilateral and multilateral” meetings among participants are likely also being held, “which don’t appear on the programme.”
‘We are a select group of human beings’
Despite the presence of so many high-level figures at the annual WEF meeting, Schwab has previously said he doesn’t make “political statements or economic statements which are … in any way influencing political personalities.”
In the leadup to this year’s meeting, the WEF raised some eyebrows with its list of the “Top 10 Risks” facing the world over a two- and 10-year period, including the “cost of living crisis,” “erosion of social cohesion” and “large-scale involuntary migration.”
According to Lawton, corporate executives view the benefit of participation in the WEF meeting as “face-time with politicians,” while NGO leaders focus on getting “an audience with business leaders (potential donors) and policy-makers.”
Nevertheless, perhaps revealing how participants view their role as WEF invitees, Kerry, speaking at this year’s meeting, said, “We are a select group of human beings” who “sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet.”
During this session, Moulton blamed “mis info” for not “get[ting] people to take a COVID vaccine,” while Sulzberger described “disinformation” as “the most existential” challenge society faces, and Jourová suggested “disinformation” could be fought via enacting “increased regulations,” calling on the U.S. to pass hate speech legislation.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), speaking on another panel, said, “The problem we have is the open press system and basically all the platforms.”
Public-private partnerships: solutions to the world’s problems or ‘top-down vision for technocratic tyranny’?
In its Twitter bio, the WEF describes itself as “The international organization for public-private cooperation.” This is evident in its description of this year’s meeting, where the WEF says, “We’ll look at how we can tackle the numerous and interlinked challenges the world is facing and find solutions through public-private cooperation.”
A Jan. 17 press conference at this year’s meeting, for instance, was titled “Philanthropic-Public-Private Partnerships for Climate & Nature,” and included participants from the Bezos Earth Fund and McKinsey & Company, as well as Børge Brende, former Norwegian foreign minister and current WEF president.
Brende said, “Time is running out to address critical global challenges” and he introduced the concept of “stakeholder geopolitics” as a means of tackling them.
Also on Jan. 17, Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Albares Bueno, said the COVID-19 and Ukraine crises “have shown us that the best method is to do things together,” as “we get out of crises quicker and in better shape.”
Schachtel described this focus as “a public-private fascist movement,” where the WEF partners with the “most influential individuals in business, along with central bankers, governmental head honchos, and international organizations, in order to facilitate their top-down vision for technocratic tyranny, or what they call ‘stakeholder capitalism.’”
Leaders arrive in ‘droves of private jets’ to talk ‘Green’ politics
Lawton reported that multiple participants at this year’s conference discussed ideas for how we can transition to a “climate positive lifestyle.”
Gore suggested that activities considered to be “anti-climate” should be defunded, while Guterres said, “To stop our ‘self-defeating war on nature,’ we must close the emissions gap, phase out coal, and supercharge the renewable revolution,” adding that oil companies have perpetuated a “big lie” on climate change.
In turn, Oxford University professor Ngaire Woods suggested the implementation of a “real carbon price” by every country, in order to accelerate the energy transition, while in an interview outside the official meeting schedule, Schwab Foundation member Kola Masha talked about “forcing” environmental policy on the public.
Lawton observed that all WEF meeting participants, upon registration, were surveyed “to calculate their carbon footprint for attending the meeting in Davos.”
Articles on the WEF website complementing the meeting program suggest, “Why you should consider adding carbon credits to your climate action plan,” and how cities can adopt “environmental, social, governance” (ESG) management utilizing the metaverse and blockchain, and ideas like the “15 minute city” and “traffic filters.”
In an interview with Nicholas Lyons, Lord Mayor of the City of London, when asked why WEF participants engaged with China in light of its severe lockdowns, he pivoted to climate change, stating, “Human rights issues are always a concern … but also you have to understand, the biggest challenge facing the world is climate change.”
‘DEI,’ ‘ESG,’ ‘resiliency’ and ‘sustainability’: Popular buzzwords dominate panel discussions
This year’s WEF meeting program, and the talks delivered by many of its participants, are peppered with repeated mentions of in-vogue buzzwords, including “DEI” (diversity, equity, inclusion), “resiliency” and “sustainability.”
This is evident in the WEF’s description of the meeting, where Schwab is quoted saying, “There must be the recognition that economic development needs to be made more resilient, more sustainable and nobody should be left behind,” while the description also talks about the need for “industry resilience.”
Vicki Hollub, CEO of Occidental Petroleum, commented during the meeting that, “As we transition, we must not leave developing countries behind,” while Bob Sternfels, global managing partner of McKinsey & Company, said, “Companies that act in a resilient way outperform their peers by up to 50%.”
Fink, a member of the WEF Board of Trustees and a major proponent of ESG, participated in the “Relaunching Trade, Growth and Investment” panel. Another panel, “Technology for a More Resilient World,” included participants from the WEF, IBM, Accenture and The Atlantic.
And as part of the agenda for this year’s meeting, the WEF also suggested that “consumers want sustainable options” and provided suggestions for “what producers, suppliers, and retailers can do now.”
Notably, however, in remarks made to Bloomberg, Fink complained that “the narrative around ESG investing has become ugly” and has led to “huge polarization” — a statement perhaps indicative of the increasing criticism being levied toward Fink, BlackRock, the WEF and other associated entities.
For instance, in a recent tweet, Twitter owner and CEO Elon Musk remarked “The S in ESG stands for Satanic.” The WEF’s Twitter account is not included in the “How to follow Davos 2023” pamphlet distributed by the WEF.
And, perhaps spelling out what underscores discussions of “inclusiveness,” “sustainability” and “resilience,” a WEF article accompanying this year’s meeting agenda titled “5 dimensions of leadership to address complex challenges” includes, as one of its dimensions, “Muscles: perseverance to translate ideas into action.”
Future ‘pandemics’ and ‘global health security’: Will tuberculosis be the next pandemic scare?
Another prominent theme at this year’s WEF meeting is how to deal with “future pandemics” and “global health security.”
Participants in “Ending Tuberculosis: How Do We Get There?” included WHO Secretary-General Tedros and representatives from the WEF, The Washington Post, the Wellcome Trust and The Global Fund.
Investigative journalists Avi Yemini and Ezra Levant of Rebel News located Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla on the streets of Davos today and bombarded him with 29 questions — to which Bourla provided two responses: “Thank you very much” and “Have a nice day.”
In a separate street interview, AstraZeneca Chairman Leif Johansson was more talkative, admitting to Yemini that the COVID-19 vaccines never stopped the spread, but nevertheless justifying the vaccine mandates. According to Yemini, “He scrambled behind the restricted area before I could ask about the recent rise in ‘sudden deaths.’”
The ‘metaverse’ and ‘smart’ technologies: global ‘cooperation’ or global control?
This year’s meeting continues the WEF’s promotion of digital technologies such as the “metaverse” and other “smart” technologies, as solutions for multiple global challenges.
According to Schachtel, the WEF will announce “the first, and long-awaited, outputs of the Defining and Building the Metaverse Initiative,” including briefing papers on “Interoperability in the Metaverse” and “Demystifying the Consumer Metaverse.”
Also this year, Schwab, Microsoft Vice Chairman and President Brad Smith, and Julie Sweet, chair and CEO of Accenture, shared a vision for the so-called “Global Collaboration Village.” Schwab said the initiative can be “trusted” because INTERPOL is participating in the effort.
This “Global Collaboration Village” was first announced in May 2022, as a means to “harness the power of the metaverse to grow and diversify participation in advancing the global public interest.” Panelists this year presented the benefits of a “global VR society” — referring to virtual reality — that would be “without borders.”
The embattled von der Leyen said this week, “the next decades will see the greatest industrial transformation of our times, maybe of any time,” in a clear reference to “The Great Reset” and the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
Investigative journalist Noor Bin Ladin characterized von der Leyen’s statement as a “chilling message if you know what this Globalist shill is talking about: Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, and other recent technology advancements [which] are absolutely essential for … the digital jails in which we’ll be trapped.”
