January 28, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t2016 „<\/span>Information \t\t\t\t\t\t\tClearing House<\/span><\/a>“ \t\t\t\t\t\t\t–\u00a0 The 45th<\/sup> World Economic Forum \u2013 \t\t\t\t\t\t\tWEF \u2013 was hosted again by Switzerland and took place \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom 20-23 January 2016 \u2013 again in Davos, an \t\t\t\t\t\t\t11,000-soul remote but lush mountain resort in the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tsouth-eastern part of the Swiss Alps. The elite \t\t\t\t\t\t\tsummit was attended by some 2,500 hi-flying \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpoliticians, corporate execs, celebrities, and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tso-called social network movers and shakers \u2013 most \t\t\t\t\t\t\tof them billionaires \u2013 accompanied by 500 \t\t\t\t\t\t\tjournalists and some 600 staffers fully equipped \t\t\t\t\t\t\twith social media gear.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Davos \t\t\t\t\t\t\tWEF happening is perhaps the most prominent and most \t\t\t\t\t\t\tvisible one of a series of the globe\u2019s elitist \t\t\t\t\t\t\tevents \u2013 most of them secret, of the Bilderbergers, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign \t\t\t\t\t\t\tRelations (CFR), the British Chatham House, to name \t\t\t\t\t\t\tjust a few. Their memberships are overlapping and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcomprise the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me<\/em> of the crop \t\t\t\t\t\t\tof the world elite.<\/span><\/p>\n

They keep \t\t\t\t\t\t\tsetting the standards for wars and conflicts, for \t\t\t\t\t\t\twho is to live and who is to die. They use highly \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcivilized language in public, but their decisions \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbehind closed doors eventually prompt such \t\t\t\t\t\t\tatrocities, as took place more than 100 years ago in \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Philippines and later in Vietnam (see box), and \t\t\t\t\t\t\twere repeated since then all over the world umpteen \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttimes over, in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tYemen, Sudan, Palestine \u2014 and before during hundreds \t\t\t\t\t\t\tof years of European colonialism and plunder, \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttorture and rape of Africa, Latin America and Asia, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor resources and domination. <\/span><\/p>\n

The only place you and I disagree \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t. . . is with regard to the bombing.

Human lives \t\t\t\t\t\t\tmean nothing to the ruling elite \u2013 which in Davos \t\t\t\t\t\t\tand elsewhere walk the talk of \u2018political \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcorrectness\u2019, about the world\u2019s inequalities and its \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdangers. The more astute ones, even talk about \t\t\t\t\t\t\tsocial justice that would bring peace and stability. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tWords are cheap. They have of course no interest \t\t\t\t\t\t\twhatsoever in changing anything. Never had and never \t\t\t\t\t\t\twill. Their growing mountains of privileges are \t\t\t\t\t\t\tsacrosanct. The profits from wars and conflicts, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom the weapon industry, are astronomical.<\/span><\/p>\n

They talk \t\t\t\t\t\t\tabout imminent climate change and its dangers, yet \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthey fly into the Davos summit in hundreds of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprivate jets, totally oblivious to the carbon \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfootprint they paint in the sky.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbefore the WEF event, Oxfam published a telling \t\t\t\t\t\t\treport, \u201cWealth: Having It All and Wanting More\u201d, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tincluding some significant statistics. In 2015, 62 \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfamilies owned US$ 1.76 trillion, more than the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbottom half of the world\u2019s population, 3.6 billion \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpeople. The wealth of the poorest half of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tglobe\u2019s population has fallen by 41% since 2010, \t\t\t\t\t\t\twhile the riches of the wealthiest 62 families has \t\t\t\t\t\t\tincreased by half a trillion dollars. The gap is \t\t\t\t\t\t\tgrowing at breath-taking speed. According to a \t\t\t\t\t\t\tCredit Suisse report the world\u2019s total wealth in \t\t\t\t\t\t\t2015 was estimated at US$ 250 trillion. By 2016, \t\t\t\t\t\t\twith ongoing trends, 1% of population will own more \t\t\t\t\t\t\twealth than 99% of the world\u2019s populace; and the 1% \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(some 72 million people) would own more than half of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe world\u2019s wealth, meaning about US$ 130 trillion. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe trend is alarming, pointing to an ever faster \t\t\t\t\t\t\tincrease of social misery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now \u2013 given \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthese growing inequalities, will the glaring \t\t\t\t\t\t\tinjustice bring more social upheavals, protests, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconflicts? Will it bring the World Order down? Will \t\t\t\t\t\t\tour corrupt system collapse or will it not \u2013 that is \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe question? \u2013 The question has to be asked for \t\t\t\t\t\t\trhetoric and credibility\u2019s sake. But be aware, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tnobody in power wants the system to collapse. As \t\t\t\t\t\t\tlong as the powers that be \u2013 the Masters of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tUniverse, those behind the scene, those who pull the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tstrings and send their emissaries of CEOs, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpoliticians and celebrities to events like Davos; as \t\t\t\t\t\t\tlong as this white collar murderous scum* (see box) \t\t\t\t\t\t\tis in place and ticking \u2013 and we the 99.99% look on \t\t\t\t\t\t\tin awe and fear, fear from invented terror, as long \t\t\t\t\t\t\tas we allow this injustice to prevail, the system \t\t\t\t\t\t\twill not collapse. They \u2013 the Masters of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tUniverse and their ambassador stooges \u2013 have us \t\t\t\t\t\t\tunder their fingernails and can crush us at will. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tAfter all, they live from permanent conflicts and \t\t\t\t\t\t\twars. As the Washington Post so honestly proclaims, \t\t\t\t\t\t\twars are profitable. There is no soap in the world \t\t\t\t\t\t\tstrong enough to cleanse their blood-stained hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

*White \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcollar murderous scum<\/em> \u2013 You may be shocked \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tat my calling these smooth elitists assassins. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAren\u2019t people who decide on wars, on invading \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcountries, on sending drones to kill \u2013 leaders \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twho direct torture camps around the globe, or \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twho sit on top of financial institutions that \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstarve entire segments of people to death, or \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdeprive them of vital medical and social \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tservices, people who direct corporations that \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tknowingly and willingly contaminate the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tenvironment and poison the waters of entire \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcommunities, making them sick and killing them \u2013 \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\taren\u2019t these people murderers by any definition \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tof the term?<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The \t\t\t\t\t\t\tperpetuation of these rotten WEF-type elite is \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprecisely what drives inequality, what causes \t\t\t\t\t\t\tinsecurity through widening rich-poor gaps, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprompting wars, atrocities, endless chains of \t\t\t\t\t\t\trefugees, famine, misery, discrimination. These \t\t\t\t\t\t\telite carry the stamp of poverty with which they \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbrand the vast majority of the population like \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcattle. Their ultimate goal is to reduce the world \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpopulation to some 500 million to 1 billion people \t\t\t\t\t\t\tto be used as their serfs. A reduced world \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpopulation might allow an ever shrinking and ever \t\t\t\t\t\t\tricher elite to live longer in splendour and luxury \t\t\t\t\t\t\twith Planet Earth\u2019s overexploited resources, what\u2019s \t\t\t\t\t\t\tleft of them. In the 1960s we, the western world, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcrossed the critical threshold of the resources \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbalance. Today, the west with its steadily growing \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsumption and growth fetish, (ab)uses by a rate of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tabout 4 times the generous resources Mother Earth \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprovides.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \t\t\t\t\t\t\telite have seen the writing on the wall. In the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t1950s Henry Kissinger was appointed as a Board \t\t\t\t\t\t\tMember of the CFR, a Rockefeller creation. He soon \t\t\t\t\t\t\tstarted propagating a reduction in world population. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn 1974, Kissinger, then head of the US National \t\t\t\t\t\t\tSecurity Council, commissioned a classified 200-page \t\t\t\t\t\t\tstudy on \u201cImplications of Worldwide Population \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGrowth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests\u201d \t\t\t\t\t\t\twhich concluded proposing population-reduction \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprograms using food as a weapon, i.e. food shortages \t\t\t\t\t\t\twould induce massive famine and death \u2013 genocide by \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfamine \u00a0(http:\/\/www.larouchepub.com\/other\/1995\/2249_kissinger_food.html<\/a>). \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGenetically modified food by Monsanto is the direct \t\t\t\t\t\t\tresult of Kissinger\u2019s quest, \u201c<\/span>Control \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe oil, and you control nations. Control the food, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tand you control the people. Control money and you \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontrol the world.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

What does \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthis have to do with the WEF? \u2013 Everything. The WEF \t\t\t\t\t\t\tis led by the invisible hands of the Masters of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tUniverse \u2013 the clandestine powers to which belong \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Morgan Stanleys and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tmany of the military industrial complex and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpharmaceutical leaders \u2013 and to which the criminal \t\t\t\t\t\t\tmind of Kissinger\u2019s is a helpful advisor (Who \t\t\t\t\t\t\tReally Controls the World<\/em> http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/who-really-controls-the-world\/5445239<\/a>). \t\t\t\t\t\t\tForefathers of world history, including Mahatma \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGandhi, Presidents Lincoln, Eisenhower, Kennedy, as \t\t\t\t\t\t\twell as British PM Winston Churchill have warned of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe looming ascension of this occult power to the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdetriment of world peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

They, the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tMasters of the Universe, pull the strings by sending \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir billionaire puppets to Davos to confuse the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tobedient listeners, spectators and serfs, i.e. the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tworld at large, with wise and politically correct \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbut totally hollow speech, \u201cwill there be more \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcrises ahead?\u201d \u2013 \u201cWill the current World Order \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcollapse?\u201d \u2013 \u201cWill it survive? \u201c- \u201cHow will climate \t\t\t\t\t\t\tchange affect our future?\u201d And of course, \u201cwhat will \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe markets <\/em>do and say?\u201d \u2013 The markets, the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tepitome of the Washington Consensus doctrine, will \t\t\t\t\t\t\tnever be forgotten in this neoliberal, neo-fascist \t\t\t\t\t\t\twestern world, whose creation and simultaneous \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdestruction, we, the 99.99%, have not only tolerated \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbut facilitated. The answers to these questions were \t\t\t\t\t\t\tas diverse and empty as were the questions \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthemselves. However, there was one common theme \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpermeating everything: Money rules the world<\/em>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Switzerland \t\t\t\t\t\t\tis the epicentre of neoliberalism in Europe; the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tarchetype of what the western world calls democracy, \t\t\t\t\t\t\twhere parliamentarians have the legal right to sit \t\t\t\t\t\t\ton several boards of directors of corporations and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfinancial institutions representing in Parliament \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir corporate and financial interests rather than \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthose of the people who elected them; a truly \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbuilt-in lobby in the name of democracy, unique \t\t\t\t\t\t\tamong OECD countries. \u00a0Who would be better placed \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthan the Swiss to host again and again shamelessly \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthis notorious Davos event for the super-super rich \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u2013 politicians, corporate CEOs, celebrities and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tso-called social change-makers (who change of course \t\t\t\t\t\t\tabsolutely nothing for the betterment of society), \t\t\t\t\t\t\tclogging Swiss airports with their fleet of private \t\t\t\t\t\t\tjets?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swiss \t\t\t\t\t\t\tgovernment mobilized over 5,000 military police plus \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcountless Police officers from around the country to \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprotect this international nobility. Rooftop snipers \t\t\t\t\t\t\tin their winter gear looked like ISIS in white.<\/span><\/p>\n

They \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprovided airspace and highway protection above and \t\t\t\t\t\t\taround Davos. The total cost to Swiss tax-payers of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprotecting WEF attendees is not published, but must \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbe astronomical.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconference centres were fenced-off by steel \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbarriers; all to defend the self-styled luminaries \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom imaginary \u2018terror threats\u2019 and protesters. If \t\t\t\t\t\t\tnot in the news, because these illustrious and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tnotorious personalities, including at least 40 heads \t\t\t\t\t\t\tof state, are not to be unnecessarily scared, lest \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthey may not come \u2013 what a loss that would be!<\/span><\/p>\n

Terror is \t\t\t\t\t\t\tseamlessly built-into today\u2019s societies\u2019 thought \t\t\t\t\t\t\tprocesses. Never mind, that those who pretend to \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdefend the populace are the same that cause and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcreate the terror, hence justifying militarization \t\t\t\t\t\t\tand eventually police states \u2013 soon inscribed in the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tConstitutions of Washington\u2019s European vassals. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrance\u2019s Hollande and his PM Mr. Valls, are asking \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe French Parliament to approve such legislation by \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdeclaring a permanent state of emergency; all \t\t\t\t\t\t\tjustified by the January and November 2015 (false \t\t\t\t\t\t\tflag) attacks in Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n

A few days \t\t\t\t\t\t\tafter the sun set on WEF 2016, Europol, giving no \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfoundation whatsoever, announces increasing \u2018terror \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthreats\u2019 throughout Europe, justifying a rapid \t\t\t\t\t\t\tincrease of militarization of Europe. People will \t\t\t\t\t\t\task for it, for fear \u2013 as they have been thoroughly \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbrainwashed by the lie and propaganda and corrupted \t\t\t\t\t\t\tmainstream media. Their brains are waning, as \t\t\t\t\t\t\trapidly as the police state is taking over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite these measures to increase security for the \t\t\t\t\t\t\trich, hedge fund managers are reportedly buying \t\t\t\t\t\t\tairstrips and farms in such remote areas as New \t\t\t\t\t\t\tZealand, because they think they need a getaway. <\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

TeleSUR<\/span><\/em> suggests that the WEF\u2019s claim to make the world a \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbetter place is a joke. That might be an \t\t\t\t\t\t\tunderstatement considering who the WEF\u2019s partners \t\t\t\t\t\t\tare. Nestl\u00e9, the Swiss food giant, whose CEO, Peter <\/span><\/strong>Brabeck, recently \t\t\t\t\t\t\tstated that considering water as a fundamental human \t\t\t\t\t\t\tright is \u201cextreme\u201d. Nestl\u00e9\u2019s human rights and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tenvironmental abuses abound. They are accused of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tforced child labor on their cocoa plantations in the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tIvory Coast. Nestl\u00e9\u2019s water CEO, Tim Brown, has \t\t\t\t\t\t\trefused to stop bottling water in Sacramento, \t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia, despite the extreme drought. While \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfarmers were ordered to stop pumping water to \t\t\t\t\t\t\tirrigate their crops, Brown retorted, \u201cIf I could \t\t\t\t\t\t\tincrease (bottling water) I would.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdisreputable WEF partners include Chevron which \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdumped allegedly over 16 billion gallons of oil and \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttoxic waste in the pristine forests of Ecuador\u2019s \t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmazon, affecting 30,000 indigenous residents, some \t\t\t\t\t\t\twith cancer and early death. They won a US$ 9.5 \t\t\t\t\t\t\tbillion law suit for damages which Chevron never \t\t\t\t\t\t\tpaid.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is \t\t\t\t\t\t\talso Coca Cola with water conflicts throughout Latin \t\t\t\t\t\t\tAmerica, including in a northern El Salvador \t\t\t\t\t\t\tmunicipality, where the beverage giant affects the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tlives of tens of thousands of residents with \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcontaminated water they say poisons them and kills \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttheir animals. Elsewhere in Latin America, Coca Cola \t\t\t\t\t\t\tallegedly hires paramilitaries for intimidation, \t\t\t\t\t\t\ttorture and murder of unionists in Colombia and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tGuatemala.<\/span><\/p>\n

Social \t\t\t\t\t\t\tjustice activist Susan George calls the Davos gang \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cpredatory\u201d, running the west\u2019s major institutions. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tShe sums the conference up as an organization of \t\t\t\t\t\t\tdirty partners, from polluting miners, to \t\t\t\t\t\t\tmoney-laundering banks and community-destroying \t\t\t\t\t\t\tcorporations. Yet, the populace is made believe that \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe WEF is \u201ccommitted to improving the state of the \t\t\t\t\t\t\tworld.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As long as \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe Masters of the Universe<\/em> are in charge \u2013 \t\t\t\t\t\t\tand they have been for the last at least 150 years \u2013 \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthere is no chance for a world of harmony and peace. \t\t\t\t\t\t\tThey have decided the fate of the Middle East and \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe world \u2013 next Syria and eventually Iran must \t\t\t\t\t\t\tfall. The following targets are Russia, then China \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthrough Central Asia and the South China Sea. The \t\t\t\t\t\t\twell-paid WEF morons in Davos are ordered to deceive \t\t\t\t\t\t\tand confuse, time and again, as they have done \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthroughout the 45 annual WEF summits \u2013 all adapted \t\t\t\t\t\t\tto the \u2018current dangers and fears\u2019. It is high time \t\t\t\t\t\t\tthat we, The People, the 99.99% wake up and open our \t\t\t\t\t\t\teyes to an uncomfortable reality<\/span><\/p>\n
