Maybe another factor in their discomfort is we're returning to a national-security driven period of time. The hawks in Washington may gather the power to override their previous bosses. And they'll use that power to prolong the US geopolitical position, but in the process sacrificing one by one the wealthiest allies. Starting with the primary European nations as a sort-of appetizer, and then when the time comes, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.
I wonder if those royal aholes know that they will bring down themselves with the massive global radiation that will ensue with Space X, run on X = slow hiroshima = Disease X.
The X factor is how much we can convince the scared children calling themselves elites to get on our side.
I'm not much good at Geo political analysis. There's just too many moving parts. What I will say, though, is that I think I've seen this technique of looking worried and seemingly rudderless performed countless times by government and private/public sector bureaucrats. It's at this time point, I think, that they will turn, face the cameras, throw their hands in the air, and tell a totally unprepared and incapable public that if they're doing such a crappy job of running the world then you can have the reigns back. It's then that they pull closed the purse strings of their banking system and virtually destroy the world economy. Then during the chaos and before the world figures out how to deal with the loss of credit they will offer their "New Deal".
'Davos Man' will defect to Team Trump & the Populists in order to stave off the coming, inevitable thinning of the Selectorate (i.e., the Subset of the Electorate Influential & Powerful enough to be Kingmakers). In Late Stage Empires, this is more or less a fixture:
A Caesar type figure walks in & begins the Purge of the 'Elite' & Seizure of their Assets, after which the Empire's Selectorate Class is rapidly Cut down to Size as a Result.
The American Empire seems to be headed rapidly in said 'Caesarian' direction!
Agree with you about the healthy skepticism when it comes to Melei and his neoliberal polices. If he really wanted to jump start Argentina's economy he would have embraced the BRICS membership, rather than sticking with the floundering economies of the west. BRICS is all about building economic relationships and expanding trade, while the west's love of sanctions, destruction of energy infrastructures, anti-carbon policies, and threats disguised as diplomacy have a depressing effect on their member's economies. I don't know what happened during Argentina's elections, but I don't think people would knowingly vote for what they are now getting.
What I’m afraid of is “Build back trust” means crack down on independent journalism so the only news available is from their sources. And crack down implies not only limiting internet access but actually “eliminating” independents, whether by jail or possibly worse. These global predators will go to any means to retain power.
So you have all these people desperately making fools of themselves from Gates who makes the vaxes for the viruses he manufactures in laboratories, and if you are alert, you will hear rumors of depopulation. Yes, the elites are probably depopulating us, but why? I mean if you are depopulating the planet, you are going to need a cover and only the well paid can know. But you have to understand that every country in the world supported the UN's efforts to make everyone safe from CVD, and even Putin took the vaccine, and even Trump sits on the fence. Putin knew COVID was manufactured in the laboratory so he could make vaccines for it. They are or were still playing with it in the Ukraine. The point is, what the fuck is everyone so afraid of that they are calling for new diseases to kill off more of us??? Remember, these WEF officials are designated by the UN to do their 2030 agenda. The power comes from the United Nations.
You look over the internet and there are a lot of sites on the geology of catastrophism, Fundamentalists say Armageddon is on its way (again), and a bunch of scientist talking about a 12,000 year cycle that we are 11,979 years into, and there are signs in the sky. Ben Davidson is well entrenched in climate wars, but his side is that it is time to heat up so we get cold, right on schedule.
Here is an introduction to the science of catastrophism:
Anyway, the catastrophe hypothesis and people trying to control us so our ideals live is the best explanation of the craziness we see, including depopulation, by people who think they are doing the human race good to save them from the trepidation of the sun spewing retribution on sinful humans. WHAT WE NEED IS A BETTER WAY OF FACING THE DISASTER - TO WORK TOGETHER TO SAVE AS MANY AS POSSIBLE, rather than working against one another as survivalists.
Dude Twitter is still a fuckin joke. Some hasbarats reported my legit unpaid account for allegedly being a different person trying to get around a suspension (aka ban) so they banned me and refuse to reverse it. I said nothing against the rules or even rude which is why they chose that frivolous way to get me censored. Fuck Elon.
"Make of that what you will—I myself am quite ambivalent on Milei, with a heavy lean toward the skeptical side."
Fucking stupid comment.
Milei is Americano, fucking fascist, a human stain, just as unqualified at Biden-Bush-Trump-Macron and name the EuroTrash or Klanadians or In-Bred UK-ians.
The globalists? It's the Five Eyes and City of London and BlackRock and, shit, USA USA USA!
+--+
We are listening to the mother fucking fiddlers, for sure, as what, we tap our feet. The crime syndicates of USA-UK are blatant and unstoppable under their rules or anyone else's rules. This is where USA and UK put their time, money, energy, and genocice focus. And we tap tap tap on our laptops.
At least six Israeli Air Force aircraft have visited Britain since the Gaza bombing began, but the UK government refuses to tell Declassified what was on them.
Israel and US may be using American air bases in England to move weapons to the country being investigated for genocide by the World Court
Israeli military aircraft have landed in Glasgow, Birmingham as well as RAF bases in Suffolk and Oxfordshire since 7 October
Ministry of Defence tells Declassified: “We cannot comment on or provide information relating to foreign nations’ military aircraft movements or operations.”
US Air Force flew huge C-17 military transport vehicle directly from Israeli military base to Turkey on 23 January
Roberts’ speech is great. Let ‘em have it right between the eyes. One has to laugh at Jamie Dimon and Shwartzmann though. Now they present the impression of concern about America’s safety and the illegal immigration problem.
Er, listen. I appreciate your analysis and you get a good deal right, but until you root your understanding of global climate dynamics in the substantial body of hard empirical science that supports it I simply cannot take you seriously. You make the common mistake of confusing the scientific data and its implications with the subjective spin various actors make of it; while the latter is properly fair game and deserving of cynicism, the earnest scientists who toiled in obscurity for decades trying to alert humanity to its grave risks and were despised for their efforts - before the scientific consensus shifted irrevocably to their analysis in the face of evidence rushing in from multiple fronts, all confirming the same grim conclusion... a decades long struggle which you seem to have entirely missed - are far better placed than you to prognosticate on this aspect of empirical reality. You are fixated on the dancing shadows on the wall of Plato's cave and have dispensed entirely with their origin. Indeed, climate breakdown is better understood as one aspect of a general overburdening of specific natural systems upon which we depend. The Stockholm Resilience Center : https://www.stockholmresilience.org/research/planetary-boundaries.html
for example has analysed the multiple environmental threats our high material throughput existence is creating; or the Canadian scientist Bill Rees who develops the concept 'Overshoot'. You present a clip from some obscenely powerful capitalist, 'sticking it to the elites' who casually dismisses approaching climate impacts with a 'let them eat cake' insouciance: he seems to think warmer temps will just reduce heating bills in Europe, what's the big deal? Why does he pontificate on a thing when it is painfully clear he doesn't have the foggiest idea what he's talking about? Insulated by wealth, his feet never quite touching the earth, he thinks his every insight must be true when he has simply been gulled by his own success. While the earth has seen such dramatic disruptions before these often involve shaking off most of the mantle of biologic life, such as the KT boundary, etc. We actually DO have a staggering amount of empirical data; these professional scientists, among the brightest minds on the planet are not just making shit up; and the evidence isn't just 'compelling' it is conclusive. You haven't even LOOKED AT IT because if you had you wouldn't truck in these self-serving narratives. Serving the oil industry that is. How are we to take you seriously? Man-made carbon emissions and other consequences of rapid cultural shift to industrial production and capitalist consumption DO, in fact, have realworld consequences. Yes, Dorothy, we did hunt the carrier pigeon to extinction; collapse the Newfoundland cod fishery; probably wiped out North American megafauna; etc. Similarly social scientists have recently quantified a significant uptick in anti-science disinformation on the internet, put out by the usual Prager U/Heritage Foundation troglodytes. These are your go-to sources? Because when you cite this war on science ignorance you just signal to the world your own intellectual laziness. It's clear you haven't put in the MINIMUM honest examination of the science to make your own determinations; you simply parrot what a particularly repellent quanta of the herd are saying because they recoil at the prospect of abandoning their blessed lifestyle.
If the global elites suddenly figured out that fire was hot, would you jump into a furnace to thumb your nose at them? Or would you grudgingly concede that they are simply working with the information around them. I despise them every bit as much as you, but you have to give them credit: they understand the importance of good data. So climb down off your ignorant, retrograde anti-intellectualism, open a fucking book on earth system science and stop embarrassing yourself. Jordan Peterson writes a pretty good self-help book for struggling males. He is well out of his depth when he strays too far from his strengths and, my friend, on the evidence when you venture into climatology, you are out of your comfort zone. Forgive my tone, but these are arguments I've been having since the 1980's, and as the west slides into rightwing populism, we're having them all over again. It's exhausting.
Don't feel bad WEF, you've made lots of progress on your quest to enslave the human race! Already, many people are essentially treated as helots & debt peons in their own countries. And consider how much wealth inequality, inflation, debt, and financialization you've pushed forward over the past 50 years! Sure, the bad sci-fi of pod-living and bug-eating hasn't happened yet, the West is destabilizing in no small part due to your actions, and some people have noticed that your entire version of reality is essentially a Tower of Babel built of lies... but you still have immense power, wealth and influence! You've had a great run as Lords of the Universe, so enjoy your sex workers, wine and filet mignon, and be proud of all your villainous accomplishments!
Even the anti-globalist element of Milei's speech was a farce, since he finishes his speech by cheering for all the globalist businessmen of Davos and telling them they're "heroes." Just about the only thing I can praise him for, which genuinely impressed me, was him choosing to fly commercial to get there rather than take a private jet—something all state leaders should be doing.
SC has done some of the better reporting on him I've seen. Most alternative media seems to have succumb to wishful thinking about him, and of course Establishment media itself generally loves him since the US does; they're not going to find another world leader who will ramble on about the perils of socialism and China, after all, and who falls for the CIA's discredited Austrian school of economics.
Good article and analysis, anyway, I will go make a cup of coffee to raise a mug and cheer to the words of Hubert Keller. He must be the most anti-globalist, truly, after all they are addicted to caffeine and it's practically the fuel of the globalist, business world. Imagine the suffering of business everywhere if it were banned. Well, too bad I enjoy coffee too.
Can someone please tell these elites that they are carbon-based life? And Ursula von der Leichen that her diamond earrings are carbon? I would quite like that they reduce the carbon in the atmosphere, starting with themselves.

The WEF is being deliberately pruned in public. It’s always been extremist & expendable entertainment.

Let's see if I'm right or wrong.
Time will tell.
'Davos Man' will defect to Team Trump & the Populists in order to stave off the coming, inevitable thinning of the Selectorate (i.e., the Subset of the Electorate Influential & Powerful enough to be Kingmakers). In Late Stage Empires, this is more or less a fixture:

Oh, I forgot to add that their about face is all to set the scene for putting all the blame for the chaos onto the shoulders of the public. Not them.
