What is the World Economic Forum?

The World Economic Forum is famous for its annual week-long meeting in Davos, Switzerland - so much so, that ‘WEF’ and ‘Davos’ have pretty much become synonymous.
The Alpine resort town normally plays host to skiing and hiking enthusiasts, but for one week a year, WEF invites business leaders, billionaires, heads of state, royalty, academics, journalists, and celebrities to gather 5,000 feet above sea level to address the world’s most pressing challenges.
Once the meetings are over, WEF packs up and returns to its headquarters 267 miles away in the suburbs of Geneva. Based there, are around 600 of the international non-profit organization’s more than 800 employees. They say their mission is “improving the state of the world.” So, how do they attempt to achieve it?
Watch our video to learn more about the organization behind one of the world’s most high-profile gatherings.

I figured out back in 2020 how evil the WEF was. I was already onto their climate change nonsense, but when Klaus tied his Great Reset to COVID 19 with a book in print only 3 months after global lockdowns started, I then knew for certain it was a PLANDEMIC and the WEF was behind that too.

Trust can never be truly rebuilt. If your significant other cheated on you, it would always be in the your mind that it’s possible again. Especially if they never actually took accountability for it.
