@@petermills542 we all have responsibility in one form or another, when a person openly speaks known truth that challenges mainstream narratives especially in this culture of cancel smear and label, it reflects character and backbone, those that choose not speak such truths reflect a lack of honesty and integrity, it doesn't matter what level of responsibility they have.

Merkel was just one of WEF's globalist puppets, our Governments have been infiltrated (or penetrated as Schwab brags) and our nations occupied. This is all thanks to the globalists, their systems and their puppets who have systematically been destroying the sovereignty, autonomy and heritage of Western state democracies. Wasn't it the EU and the central bank backers who tried to buy Ukraine for a cent on the Euro but got rejected for abetter deal from Russia? Wasn't globalist George Soros, closely linked to the EU, who bragged about bringing down to the democratically elected government of Ukraine because of that which led to this crisis? Wasn't it the Ukraine puppet government installed by the west that tried to crush the revolt of Russians in Crimea which led to the civil war? Wasn't it the globalist run west, who backed the coup, that rejected the direct democratic vote of the Crimean people to be annexed by Russia as "undemocratic" Was it not the UN that promoted open borders and mas immigration into the West which the EU employed Goldman Sachs banker Peter Sutherland to create? And was it not the UN that then created a special position for Peter Sutherland to issue diktats on immigrant quotas to Western nations? Was it not Sutherland who said "More must be done to undermine the homogeneity of EU nations? Was it not Juncker when head of the EU who said patriots are stupid people who need to be replaced by people from far away to create EU solidarity? Was it not the EU who said populism is a threat to democracy when populism is the epitome of democracy? Was it not the World Economic Forum who promote The Great Reset where "You will own nothing and be happy"? Was not the WEF head Klaus Schwab who wrote the book Covid-19: The great Reset? Wasn't it UN Agenda 221 and now Agenda 2030 and the Anthropogenic Global Warming narrative that have resulted in the destruction of energy security of every Western nation state? Was Britain not shutting down 1 clean burning coal plant for every 100 new dirty coal plants China built after UN climate legislation and carbon taxes that left China exempt? Is not Boris Johnson pursuing net zero and green policies that will cause much higher energy prices at a time energy prices are already astronomical and he has already heaped economic suffering upon the people through his lockdown polices among others leading to inflation, price rises, artificial shortages, tax rises and so on?

He's extremely contradictory... loathes Russian nationalism, but envies it and wants Britain to have it, too... which will never happen when all resistance to the things he lists as ailing Britain, has been defeated. Resents Russia acting in self interest, self defence, defending their right to safe sovereignty, but dying for Britain to go looking for war, using the same reasons as Putin to justify it.

Why does this influential, unelected globalist entity really exist? February 27, 2022 Much more light must be shed on the World Economic Forum’s agenda and its string-pullers When Canadian parliamentarian, Colin Carrie, of the Conservative Party, asked Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government this week how many Canadian ministers were actually “on board with the World Economic Forum agenda” - before his connection “broke up” in the videoconference - he and the Canadians he represents deserved an honest response rather than accusations of spreading “disinformation”, as left-leaning New Democratic Party MP Charlie Angus did. The World Economic Forum (WEF), colloquially known as “Davos”, for those familiar with the annual pilgrimage by the international elite to the eponymous town in Switzerland, has been on the tips of many tongues over the past two years - notably within the context of the Covid-19 crisis. Just before the Covid pandemic, on October 15, 2019, the organization announced that it was holding a “live simulation exercise to prepare public and private leaders for pandemic response.” If that sounds oddly coincidental, buckle up, because it only gets weirder. Then in August 2021, Dutch MP Gideon van Meijeren asked Prime Minister Mark Rutte about a letter he wrote to WEF Founder Klaus Schwab in which he said that Schwab’s book, “Covid-19: The Great Reset,” published on July 9, 2020, within the first few months of the pandemic, “inspired him to build back better.” The phrase also happens to be the name of US President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda, which includes increased wealth transfer into the murky black hole of climate change and “social spending.” It would be easy to chalk it all up to creepy rhetorical coincidence if there wasn’t an actual link between Schwab, Davos, and elected officials like Rutte and Trudeau. It’s a link about which even Schwab himself has bragged. In 2017, he told an audience at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government: “What we are very proud of is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau… We penetrate the cabinets.” No citizen in any country actually voted to adopt the Davos agenda. And it’s debatable whether a sufficient number actually would. According to its own website, the WEF agenda includes increased digital integration and digitization, “urgent” climate change response, and a vision of a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” that is “characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.” The organization is also exploring the notion of “human enhancement”. And those are just the aspects that are public. It all sounds like it has the potential to give rise to a dystopian reality, particularly coupled with the previously unimaginable measures taken by democratic governments under a sanitary pretext over the past two years. And who, or what, influences the organization itself? A massive list of multinational entities with fiduciary obligations to increase shareholder wealth, according to the organization’s website. The WEF would like for the average citizen to believe that everything it does is for our own interests. But it’s difficult to imagine what the organization’s backers actually gain by empowering average citizens rather than maintaining control over them. Much more light deserves to be shed on this supranational entity, its string-pullers, and the extent to which their agenda trickles down into our daily lives....

Then in August 2021, Dutch MP Gideon van Meijeren asked Prime Minister Mark Rutte about a letter he wrote to WEF Founder Klaus Schwab in which he said that Schwab’s book, “Covid-19: The Great Reset,” published on July 9, 2020, within the first few months of the pandemic, “inspired him to build back better.” The phrase also happens to be the name of US President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda, which includes increased wealth transfer into the murky black hole of climate change and “social spending.” It would be easy to chalk it all up to creepy rhetorical coincidence if there wasn’t an actual link between Schwab, Davos, and elected officials like Rutte and Trudeau. It’s a link about which even Schwab himself has bragged. In 2017, he told an audience at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government: “What we are very proud of is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau… We penetrate the cabinets.” No citizen in any country actually voted to adopt the Davos agenda. And it’s debatable whether a sufficient number actually would. According to its own website, the WEF agenda includes increased digital integration and digitization, “urgent” climate change response, and a vision of a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” that is “characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.” The organization is also exploring the notion of “human enhancement”. And those are just the aspects that are public. It all sounds like it has the potential to give rise to a dystopian reality, particularly coupled with the previously unimaginable measures taken by democratic governments under a sanitary pretext over the past two years. And who, or what, influences the organization itself? A massive list of multinational entities with fiduciary obligations to increase shareholder wealth, according to the organization’s website. The WEF would like for the average citizen to believe that everything it does is for our own interests. But it’s difficult to imagine what the organization’s backers actually gain by empowering average citizens rather than maintaining control over them. Much more light deserves to be shed on this supranational entity, its string-pullers, and the extent to which their agenda trickles down into our daily lives.... .

Then in August 2021, Dutch MP Gideon van Meijeren asked Prime Minister Mark Rutte about a letter he wrote to WEF Founder Klaus Schwab in which he said that Schwab’s book, “Covid-19: The Great Reset,” published on July 9, 2020, within the first few months of the pandemic, “inspired him to build back better.” The phrase also happens to be the name of US President Joe Biden’s legislative agenda, which includes increased wealth transfer into the murky black hole of climate change and “social spending.” It would be easy to chalk it all up to creepy rhetorical coincidence if there wasn’t an actual link between Schwab, Davos, and elected officials like Rutte and Trudeau. It’s a link about which even Schwab himself has bragged. In 2017, he told an audience at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government: “What we are very proud of is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau… We penetrate the cabinets.” No citizen in any country actually voted to adopt the Davos agenda. And it’s debatable whether a sufficient number actually would. According to its own website, the WEF agenda includes increased digital integration and digitization, “urgent” climate change response, and a vision of a “Fourth Industrial Revolution” that is “characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human.” The organization is also exploring the notion of “human enhancement”. And those are just the aspects that are public. It all sounds like it has the potential to give rise to a dystopian reality, particularly coupled with the previously unimaginable measures taken by democratic governments under a sanitary pretext over the past two years. And who, or what, influences the organization itself? A massive list of multinational entities with fiduciary obligations to increase shareholder wealth, according to the organization’s website. The WEF would like for the average citizen to believe that everything it does is for our own interests. But it’s difficult to imagine what the organization’s backers actually gain by empowering average citizens rather than maintaining control over them. Much more light deserves to be shed on this supranational entity, its string-pullers, and the extent to which their agenda trickles down into our daily lives.... ....
