00:30:31.000If you're watching this on YouTube, stay with us, because we're going to be with you for a while here, but there'll be a certain point where what we're saying is so controversial, so at odds with the existing power structures imposed upon you by elites, that they simply will not allow it on YouTube, which, as you know, takes its guidelines when it comes to medical and health matters from the WHO.
00:30:55.000One of the arguments we're making when we're talking about the WEF and this Royal Rumble spectacular is unelected globalist bodies are now able to exert more power than democratic governments in liberal democracies or even in dictatorships.
00:31:10.000That we are moving towards a globalist state and globalists will always want more surveillance, more digital IDs, more social credit scoring, more abilities to lock down.
00:31:21.000So they will create the conditions Not that I'm saying that's happened already or historically.
00:32:01.000There's been some hefty out of court settlements because some people said that the baby powder was carcinogenic but that was never ever legally proven and I want to be absolutely clear about that.
00:33:43.000And the question that we're asking you over the course of this free hour marathon, this WEF marathon, is are the WEF a threat to your freedom?
00:33:52.000Let me know in the chat if you believe that they're a real threat or are they little more than a soft power organization?
00:33:58.000Where some of the most influential people in the world can come together to discuss important ideas and we're getting all het up about nothing.
00:34:05.000We're going to look at some of our... Even that's pretty bad though, isn't it?
00:34:07.000Yeah, even the... Even when people say, oh it's not that bad, it's just the world's most powerful people coming together to conspire.
00:34:14.000The best case scenario ain't that good.
00:34:30.000That album that forces its way onto your phone, like every time that my Bluetooth syncs up with my car and I hear some weird song about like wolves or something.
00:35:01.000What the hell are you two doing all over my iPod?
00:35:04.000We're going to be talking to James Melville live in the studio.
00:35:07.000Why he's interesting, Gareth, why you're going to love him, is he's someone from what you might call the conventional traditional left who has become deeply suspicious of the WEF and indeed now believes in the more extreme ideas about them like that there are You know, a bunch of cackling villains.
00:35:24.000Also, Andrew Lawton, we're going to talk to.
00:35:36.000I think that should be the thing we demand from him.
00:35:37.000James, if you're watching this now, and you should be, it's a professional obligation, make sure you get some selfies with some top WF stars, like as if it's a Panini sticker book.
00:35:46.000Or baseball cards if you're an American.
00:36:38.000I really loved him because I like people... I saw your eyes come alive during that interview.
00:36:42.000When someone comes on our show and they start saying stuff, I'm like, go on mate.
00:36:46.000Like when they're pushing it more than I would, that's why I push it real good.
00:36:50.000That's what I like, you know, when they're like pushing that.
00:36:52.000Where did the phrase come from, pushing the envelope?
00:36:54.000What's so good about pushing an envelope?
00:36:56.000Is it that you're meant to be, you're putting something, like you've written a letter and you're really pushing the envelope and you're going to post it?
00:37:02.000And then, oh, am I really going to post this envelope?
00:37:21.000No, here's the effing news that we literally will not be able to show you on YouTube except with extreme censorship because The WHO made an amazing bit of propaganda about how anti-vaxxers are worse than terrorists.
00:37:44.000And if you know anyone, by chance, that's not watching this yet...
00:37:47.000Get them watching because this is, anyone that you know that thinks that you're a crackpot tinfoil hat wearing nut job then get them to watch this and we'll help, we'll explain for you why you're not crazy.
00:38:03.000Also we're on for so long today that you could probably be on the actual show.
00:38:07.000If you want to come on, all you've got to do is find us and you can come on with us and come and be here.
00:38:12.000We've got probably wherever you are in the world.
00:38:13.000You could be at Davos and like whip off your lanyard, unhook yourself from Klaus Schwab and I believe like a sow, he has nipples all the way down his body.
00:38:59.000Maybe we could either look at, here's what the news is saying about Davos, or we could look at a bit of an explanation as to what Davos is.
00:39:05.000Let's see normal news reporting about it to see if they capture its truth.
00:39:10.000What if it is just the world's most powerful people coming together to come up with ideas that ultimately lead to social credit score systems, more surveillance, more ability for big tech and big government to control you?
00:39:20.000Essentially, a lot of what we're talking about today is covered in this fantastic book, The Revolt of the Public, written by Martin Goury, who's a man who's got a very... Look at the size of his name in comparison to the size of the title.
00:39:54.000What he contests, Martin Goury, who's coming on the show next week, I think, in this book is that the powerful are simply unable to deal with the changing dynamic between the public and the establishment.
00:40:06.000The public being described in this book using Walter Lippmann's terminology as any group that's interested in a particular subject and can agitate in one direction for that issue or against that issue.
00:40:20.000We're going to be talking to the author of it next week.
00:40:22.000But let's see how the old news, who have to control the narrative on behalf of established elites, we'll be contesting.
00:40:28.000Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments if you agree with that, are covering Davos to see if we've got anything to worry about at all.
00:41:28.000So is it that WF are soft selling tyrannical ideas?
00:41:32.000Is it that we once believed that Fascism was an Orwellian idea, easy to read aesthetics, greyness, militarised, and we're moving towards a Huxley-esque idea of dystopia, where it's sanitised, banalised, easy and acceptable.
00:42:29.000But over the course of our marathon WEF Royal Rumble session, we're going to be showing you that we view the world now through a false lens, that ultimately corporations are much more powerful than governments now.
00:43:23.000If all these powers are coming together and cooperating with each other to basically negatively impact the citizens then that you know you can't just use a phrase like that and expect people to go oh that does sound nice that you're cooperating after this i'm gonna i'm gonna shock you by showing you the wef in numbers gal so some important figures that demonstrate can i just ask a bit more of a personal question
00:43:47.000It's jangling and it's bothering me a bit but I do want everyone to know that it's quite a good necklace and do you think I should take it off to stop the jangling?
00:43:53.000This is one of the ones we have trouble with when we do our presentations.
00:43:57.000This one, this has to be taped right down.
00:44:07.000Memorise what I look like with this on.
00:44:12.000I don't want people thinking I don't look as good because suddenly I feel a bit bland and banalised like a globalised world in which I don't own anything.
00:44:19.000That everything's centrally owned and I rent it like the licensing agreements that we have with Apple.
00:44:43.000Alright, let's look at a bit more of the news, shall we?
00:44:46.000...system that's really struggling to keep up with the shifting balance of global power and the crises of the moment.
00:44:53.000Now, we are expecting to hear this week from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, although whether by video link or possibly in person is... Maybe by Dalek?
00:45:01.000Hello, I am talking to you here today.
00:45:05.000Are you not allowed to take the mickey out of people's voices?
00:48:06.000Come on, I'm trying to watch the news.
00:48:07.000Come on, mainstream media, tell me what to think.
00:48:10.000China is sending its vice premier, that's the highest level delegation from China in Davos, in several years and it will be the first foreign trip for a high-level government official since China lifted its COVID travel restrictions.
00:48:23.000Now, the risk of a looming global recession, the effects of the energy crisis and high inflation on households and businesses, especially on the most vulnerable families, the ever-widening impact of climate change—all of these are going to be headline issues, along with discussions on things like labor trends, the culture of leadership, gender parity, digitalization, data They've got it all covered.
00:50:04.000It was the decline in true opposition in American politics in particular that took place in the 90s.
00:50:10.000Tony Blair, who will be at Davos this year, is one of the architects of dismantling democracy in our little old country and some say in advocating for an illegal war.
00:50:21.000in Iraq that was quite profitable, the reconstruction-wise.
00:50:24.000Frank says, is there anything formal in government's legislation around
00:50:27.000the world against government officials being an executive representative of a
00:50:59.000Okay, so in 2013, the American taxpayer, so if you're American and you pay your tax, that's you, Helped fund the sponsoring organisation with tens of millions of dollars in federal grants.
00:51:08.000Since 2013, the WEF received nearly $60 million from taxpayers.
00:51:12.000Schwab, or himself, has come under scrutiny for using WEF funds and business contracts to enhance his own personal wealth.
00:52:54.000Because if one thing has brought Davos, you just settle, if one thing has brought Davos to the attention of the world and perhaps one of the things that's made people query their intentions is their famous slogan, their number one hit, you will own nothing and you will be happy.
00:53:11.000Let's have a look at that to remind ourselves of how this phrase entered the public consciousness.
00:54:22.000But I think that's the thing, isn't it, about the WEF and Davos is that it's, I mean, it's propaganda that's sneaking things like you learn nothing in with messages like, oh, and also the U.S.
00:54:33.000won't be the richest country in the world anymore.
00:54:37.000So it's kind of telling you some things that you feel like, oh, that might be good.
00:54:43.000You know, they're not just some evil organisation that's just pumping out loads of, you know, like, stuff that we're going to find really quite vulgar.
00:54:53.000No one's suggesting that the WF themselves think of themselves as malfeasant while they're doing it.
00:55:00.000I mean, in fact, isn't, like, this year Idris Elba going to be there?
00:55:24.000But it's just, I suppose, when you have a convergence of interests that have such unprecedented power, not Idris Elba or David Attenborough.
00:55:34.000The actual power is big tech organizations such as Facebook and Microsoft and how their interests might align with state officials who want a world where for example digital ID becomes Or mandated and where social credit scores becomes acceptable.
00:55:56.000And it feels like we're being eased towards these type of ideas.
00:56:00.000Always they use convenience and safety as the kind of lubricant for tyranny.
00:56:05.000Well, even just there, we just saw a drone delivering and you might go, what's wrong with the drone delivering parcels?
00:57:03.000The maximum amount of democracy possible.
00:57:06.000Not creating a world where an aristocratic elite are able to dictate, through soft power, the agenda of the world.
00:57:14.000That's why the pandemic, I think, was so significant.
00:57:17.000Because a pandemic, by its nature, requires a global perspective.
00:57:21.000In one of the pieces of the WEF's own propaganda, they point out that the world's richest organizations, corporations and institutions benefited from the pandemic.
00:57:34.000I wonder, therefore, what is to prevent comparable conditions being created again?
00:57:40.000Not that I'm suggesting that the pandemic was anything other than an organic, biological condition, but I'm saying that there already seems to be the creation of a narrative around climate lockdowns.
00:57:55.000I suppose if what you're interested in is globalism and creating a one-world narrative, It appears that what ends up getting promoted are circumstances and ideas that are advantageous to centralised regulatory authorities, whether they're government or corporate or NGOs.
00:58:25.000This is so good this and like our recent presentation on Black Rock rebuilding Ukraine after Russia's criminal invasion has garnered a lot of interest and attention because it's one way of showing how a geopolitical event has led to profits for a powerful investment company.
00:58:44.000Black Rock as well as we showed in that presentation are involved due to their vastness in a numerous financial activities and in particular in this
00:58:55.000case what we highlighted in that presentation was BlackRock's practice of acquiring real estate in
00:59:01.000America which is unduly biasing the real estate market and in fact meaning it's more and more difficult for
00:59:08.000ordinary Americans to purchase a home which leads to a kind of you will learn
00:59:12.000nothing and you will be happy reality. So whilst it might seem like a kind of phatic and
00:59:19.000easy phrase when it's presented in that loopy little video that you can see here from this
00:59:45.000Yeah, amongst his deals with Ukraine and Zelensky.
00:59:48.000So it shows how a globalist agenda can be achieved and how events like this, as well as being opportunities just for sort of off-the-record conflabs, also demonstrates where these interests converge.
01:00:04.000Shall we look at our presentation on Klaus Schwab, Gal?
01:01:46.000What goes on at the World Economic Forum?
01:01:49.000And should we be afraid of their evil malicious agenda?
01:01:53.000Klaus Schwab, the ringmaster of festivities at the World Economic Forum in Davos, has been known to tell underlings that he anticipates one day receiving a Nobel Peace Prize.
01:02:03.000Probably get a Nobel Peace Prize one day, don't you reckon?
01:02:28.000He's achieved this by ingratiating himself with those who wield power, and especially the billionaire class, a tribe known as Davos Man.
01:02:36.000Schwab has constructed a refuge for the outlandishly wealthy, an exclusive zone where they are free to pursue deals and sundry shenanigans while enjoying the cover of participating in a virtuous undertaking.
01:02:49.000Their mere presence in Davos at the forum signals their empathy and sensitivity.
01:02:55.000Makes me think there is a global conspiracy.
01:02:57.000People that are banned from the internet now for saying stuff like, oh there's this group of people, they're meeting up, they've got the same financial interests, they're looking to put pressure on governments to implement a set of policies that will lead to centralised power that facilitates an ongoing march towards dystopia.
01:03:12.000Makes me think, oh no, that's definitely happening.
01:03:15.000Because who are the folks showing up at this stuff?
01:03:19.000Like, if you get big tech, big pharma, government all in one place, and then you look out your window or sort of watch the news if it's not too propagandised, you start thinking, wait a minute!
01:03:28.000These people are in cahoots, I tell ya!
01:03:31.000In the prevailing pantomime, Davos Man is intent on channeling his intellect and compassion towards solving the great crisis of the age.
01:03:39.000He might have retreated to his mountaintop palace in Jackson Hole, or his yacht moored off Mykonos, but he is too obsessed with rescuing the poor and sparing humanity from the ravages of climate change, so he's in Davos, paying fees reaching several hundred thousands of dollars a year for a forum membership, plus tens of thousands more per head to attend the meeting.
01:03:59.000It's a really, really expensive club, And you're not in it!
01:04:02.000For the billionaires, participation in Schwab's charade may be proffered as evidence that they adhere to the ubiquitous slogan of the forum itself, committed to improving the state of the world.
01:04:12.000If you wanna improve the state of the world...
01:04:16.000Don't invite the people that are most responsible for ruining the fucking thing in the first place.
01:04:23.000These are the people that are causing the bloody problem.
01:04:26.000In truth, Davos Man has pillaged the global economy, exploiting workers, plundering housing and healthcare, and dismantling government programs while transferring the bounty to his personal accounts tucked in jurisdictions beyond the reach of any pain-in-the-ass tax collector.
01:04:40.000Do you remember that we worked out a while ago, somewhat because of Julian Assange's maxim, that the function of government is to extract your money from you and give it to private interests.
01:04:51.000So it's a taxation model and that taxation is then passed on to various private interests which they have affiliations with through their revolving doors.
01:04:59.000If you use that little equation you'll see how often it's helpful in understanding what's going on.
01:05:04.000Yet the fact that Schwab appears to believe in his credentials as a moral figure worthy of a Nobel speaks to his faith in the effectiveness of his creation.
01:05:11.000Like the people he gathers annually in the Alps, or at least virtually during the pandemic, Schwab is an exemplar of the force of pious words as a prophylactic against the consequences of unsavoury deeds.
01:05:23.000We're more than used to reporting on this channel, aren't we?
01:05:25.000And let me know what you think in the comments below.
01:05:28.000That the function of politics is to provide the appearance of change, the appearance of order, the appearance of caring, as opposed to actually doing stuff like that.
01:05:38.000And it seems that this is, in a sense, I don't know, the Disney world of that, the duck's eye, the bull's eye, the apotheosis of the ideologies of technocratic indifference and paliation that dominate our planet right now.
01:05:51.000Like most Davos men, Schwab has mastered the art of holding two irreconcilable positions at once, unencumbered by the typical constraints of rank hypocrisy.
01:06:01.000He blithely disregards... I like blithely.
01:06:03.000Blithely means like this... Disregards the obvious contradictions between the pristine values he publicly champions, inclusion, equity, transparency, and the unsavory compromises that he makes in wooing people with money and influence.
01:06:16.000Schwab's movements through the Congress Center unfold like military exercises, a coterie of agitated minions accompanying him everywhere.
01:06:24.000On his travels, he demands the privileges of a visiting head of state, complete with welcoming delegations at the airport.
01:06:30.000I'm sorry, I'm a bit jealous of Klaus Schwab, the way he's marching around, like a dignitary.
01:07:02.000When a forum employee who was late for a meeting once pulled into Schwab's spot in the parking lot, aware that the boss was overseas, he caught wind of it and insisted she be fired, relenting only after senior staff intervened to save her.
01:07:41.000There, the world is a little bit improved now.
01:07:45.000In the mid-90s, when the Forum convened a gathering in South Africa, Schwab delivered a speech in front of Nelson Mandela at the closing plenary, in which he cribbed from Martin Luther King Jr.' 's I Have a Dream.
01:07:56.000He said dramatically, You're like this, Nelson?
01:08:28.000He recognized early on that the forum had to distinguish itself from the run-of-the-mill business conferences, where people sat around talking about money, in defining a high-minded mission improving the state of the world.
01:08:40.000Schwalb turned attendance into a demonstration of social concern.
01:08:44.000He's the creator of virtual signaling.
01:08:46.000He reinforced the value proposition through relentless networking, making Davos an indispensable venue for business.
01:08:52.000He enticed multinational corporations to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for the privilege of serving as strategic partners Securing access to exclusive lounges and private conference rooms inside the Congress Center.
01:09:04.000There, executives encounter one another along with heads of state, investors and other people capable of improving the state of their balance sheets.
01:09:12.000Schwab choreographs bilateral meetings at which heads of global banks and energy companies can personally beseech presidents of countries for preferential tax treatment and access to promising oil fields.
01:09:23.000And that is not improving the state of the world, is it?
01:09:26.000Like granting global banks the opportunity to pressurise heads of state and new oil fields.
01:09:32.000I thought one of the main things they're into is climate change and that.
01:09:35.000Here, look at this, we've got to do something about climate change.
01:09:39.000Why don't you guys talk about new oil fields?
01:09:43.000Consulting giants and software companies make plays for government contracts by speaking directly with the decision makers.
01:09:49.000Top executives can fly in and meet a dozen heads of state in the course of four or five days, sitting across tables in soundproof rooms beyond the purview of securities, regulators, journalists and other hindrances.
01:10:00.000Despite the forum's status as a not-for-profit organisation, I mean, take profit out of it.
01:10:13.000Schwab and his wife Hilda Schwab, the organisation's co-founder, have adeptly positioned themselves to benefit from the gusher of money moving through.
01:10:26.000The Forum budget covers his globetrotting and the catering and security services at his palatial home in the colony neighborhood of Geneva, the Beverly Hills of Switzerland, where Schwab frequently hosts extravagant dinners.
01:10:39.000Over the years, the Forum has spent almost 70 million Swiss francs, nearly 80 million dollars, to purchase land in the area.
01:10:48.000Including two parcels bridging Schwab's home and the Forum headquarters.
01:10:52.000Even in the 1990s, when the Forum employed only a few dozen staff, Schwab's salary was tied to the pay for the Secretary General of the United Nations, supplying him roughly 400,000 a year.
01:11:04.000I should probably earn the same amount as the Secretary General of the United Nations.
01:11:08.000But Schwab was not satisfied by ordinary wealth.
01:11:10.000He entrusted his nephew, Hans Schwab, with the construction of a series of for-profit businesses, tapping the forum as a venture capital fund.
01:11:18.000Schwab was cognizant that running a for-profit company on the side of a non-profit could bring unwanted scrutiny from the authorities.
01:11:25.000Well, yeah, because it's corrupt and awful.
01:11:28.000Yeah, he was so proud of his entrepreneurial exploits that he pressed Erskine, the communications chief, to write about the event's business in the forum's annual report.
01:11:37.000I shouldn't let people know about this money I'm making because it's meant to be a not-for-profit enterprise.
01:11:41.000But then again, Klaus has done so well!
01:11:45.000When she balked, suggesting that this would constitute an admission that the forum was taking liberties with its non-profit status, Schwab was not grateful for her counsel.
01:11:54.000He sat me down and said, look, I want to be regarded as a businessman.
01:11:58.000According to his website, the Schwab Foundation promotes small scale enterprises that address issues of social importance, extending the reach of clean water and electricity in the developing world and creating opportunities for women.
01:12:10.000Where the money has gone is effectively unknowable.
01:12:13.000Well, I bloody well hope it's gone that way.
01:12:15.000It won't help that woman who parked in his spot very much, will it?
01:12:18.000Swizzle for it, it's required minimal disclosure, which is why he lives there and why all this stuff happens there.
01:12:30.000Do you think it seems like a place where conspiracies come to live?
01:12:33.000Do you see the hubris, the reality, the truth that when all those people come together, of course they have a shared interest?
01:12:39.000I like this story because it shows us that stuff that It gets called conspiracy, and you know how you've suffered for being called a conspiracy theorist, which someone in our comments once said, conspiracy theories should be known as spoiler alerts now.
01:12:50.000Why don't you hit us up with a good bit of content in the comments?
01:12:53.000When you read a story like that, you see the kind of figures that are behind these movements.
01:12:57.000Fascinating, what a terrific book, what a fantastic story, and what a great illustration of the reality of the Great Reset.
01:13:04.000You will own nothing and you will be happy.
01:13:06.000Klaus Schwab will have a fucking big house and two parcels of land!
01:13:35.000What a fantastic conversation we're about to have now with James Melville, political pundit and WEF commentator, but not in a wrestling-type way, although that is a pun we've been mobilising.
01:13:58.000James, you got some nerve coming in here saying that the WF have got anything other than our best interests at heart.
01:14:04.000Also, I noticed on Twitter you get much more traction out of our content than we do.
01:14:08.000But let's focus firstly and foremostly on the WF and their agenda.
01:14:13.000The number one question that we want to address to our viewers on Rumble, where we in a minute will be talking about some stuff that you simply cannot say on YouTube, And our awakening wonders there on YouTube is that the WAF do have an agenda that saying that the WAF are simply a lovely little conference where under the auspices of Klaus Schwab's generosity and potential six niplets they're doing nothing but discussing good ideas in the snow is reductive.
01:14:40.000So what is the agenda and what is the evidence that there is an agenda, James?
01:14:44.000I mean, I think it's aspects of control, first of all.
01:14:47.000I mean, if you look at the WF historically back in the 70s, it was effectively policy wonks coming up with some ideas, but not getting much mainstream traction.
01:14:56.000You know, it's very much in the shadows.
01:14:58.000And I think what's happened over the last two or three years because of the pandemic and the response to the pandemic is more and more people are scrutinizing what the WF is about.
01:15:06.000And I think there's a number of reasons why that's happened.
01:15:11.000When you get a bunch of political leaders, you're getting technocrats and you're getting billionaires and corporations who are going across on private jet and motorcades and effectively wanging on about saving the planet, people are going to look at that and say, well, that's a little bit rich.
01:15:26.000Secondly, a lot of the things that WF have been talking about historically, In particular, things like the response to the pandemic, globalised treaties, digitalisation, a lot of these things are coming down the tracks and a lot of governments are actually implementing them now, either in consultation stage or pilot stage.
01:15:44.000A perfect example of that is the digitalisation of currency and central bank digital currency.
01:15:48.000So I think what's happened with the WF, they were on the margins, but because of a lot of the agendas they've tried to set over the years, A lot of that's beginning to come down the tracks in terms of government policy.
01:16:01.000And then there's the optics as well of things like what Klaus Schwab has said about young leaders and penetrating the cabinets and, you know, you'll own nothing and be happy.
01:16:09.000And if you look at a lot of the papers and a lot of the tweets that WF have done as well.
01:16:14.000People look at that and think, actually, some of this is joined up here.
01:16:17.000This is all about technocratic, corporation and also aspects of government control that ends up looking like bureaucratic domain and control.
01:16:29.000And in particular, in a cost of living crisis, when you get individuals who are struggling to even put their heating on or they're facing a zero sum game choice of heat or eat, And you're looking at individuals who are clinking glasses in Davos when actually might be a better opt if you're in a volcano like a Bond villain or something like that.
01:16:47.000They're looking at these individuals and thinking this is so far removed from our day to day concerns.
01:16:53.000Most people just want to get through this winter discontent.
01:16:56.000And when they see individuals either at Davos or previously at COP or the G20 or the G7 when the same individuals are turning up And they're coming up with ideas supposedly for our convenience and our safety and our good.
01:17:11.000And yet over the last two years, the transfer of wealth to the super rich is at record levels.
01:17:18.000So listen, on one hand, what we're saying is that it don't look good flying about in private jets, talking about your carbon footprint when it's like the BFG's giant sandals banging down on the mountain sides up there in the snow.
01:17:32.000but perhaps significant and also that it's yet another one of these unelected globalist bodies
01:17:38.000where they preach in rarefied air about matters that will affect the lives of ordinary people
01:17:45.000and things that won't directly affect them because they're able to protect themselves from that through wealth.
01:17:50.000But the area that perhaps interests me most, James, is the actual policies that are conceived,
01:17:57.000discussed and popularized through the discourse at Davos that end up being implemented through governments.
01:18:02.000And you think that digitization and CBDCs, which I always nearly say CBBBs, don't I, Gail?
01:18:07.000It's so difficult because CBBBs, if you're a British person, is a very good children's TV scheduling section.
01:18:15.000So, mate, what in particular around the pandemic and digitisation and digital IDs did we see, as you say, come down the tracks, move from something being discussed to being implemented?
01:18:26.000If you look back historically with the WEF and some of the things they're putting out on social media, but also some of their agenda papers and so on, they were talking about this stuff quite a few years ago, but it really wasn't getting that much.
01:18:40.000Well, they were nudging... And were they talking about pandemics as well?
01:18:42.000Well, they weren't saying so much that everyone's got to be and digitalise it, but they were saying there's aspects of digital ID that's coming down the tracks.
01:18:49.000They were talking about net zero responses.
01:18:51.000They're talking about, you know, globalised response for future emergencies through healthcare and so on.
01:18:55.000And so people have gone through their back catalogue in sort of real time now.
01:18:59.000So, well, actually, that's where they were nudging the agenda.
01:19:02.000But I think one of the key things at the moment is if you look at, say, the pandemic response, there's almost two stages.
01:19:07.000First of all, there was a lockdown stage and then it went into forms of digitalisation, particularly vaccine passports.
01:19:14.000Which for me, I had a massive problem with that.
01:19:16.000I think it was illiberal, it was unethical, there isn't actually a justifiable argument for something like that.
01:19:20.000I'll just point out that we're still on YouTube and YouTube is governed by the WHO's policies when it comes to discussing those medications and if you would just bear that in mind later on on Rumble we'll be able to talk without bearing in mind the WHO, another unelected body funded In part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
01:19:47.000So I think in terms of digitalization, we're now heading at stage where if you look at all the different aspects of emergency response, And also the issues that the WF and governments and also corporations are moving towards, whether it's a net zero, whether it's due to a pandemic response, whether it's due to financial, it looks like we're heading toward aspects of digitalization control.
01:20:08.000Central Bank Digital Currency is a perfect example of that.
01:20:11.000In fact, the UK government produced a consultation document last week to talk about digital ID.
01:20:17.000Now, these are things that came out on the 4th of January.
01:20:20.000I mean, this is something that's been coming down the tracks and Sunak's been talking about
01:20:23.000central bank digital currencies for quite some time.
01:21:11.000We know the WF, they haven't got Any sort of legitimacy and authority in terms of legislation.
01:21:17.000But they have been talking about this for quite some time.
01:21:20.000They're nudging governments in a particular direction.
01:21:23.000You have a bunch of young leaders of the WF who are now, as Klaus Schwab said, penetrating government.
01:21:29.000And you end up with a situation where people start asking a lot of questions and people start getting very suspicious about this.
01:21:35.000This is not some sort of conspiracy theory.
01:21:37.000When you end up having governments Doing consultation exercises and also pilot schemes for something like central bank, digital currency or other forms of digital ID when you end up having things like vaccine passports through the pandemic.
01:21:50.000And so people end up taking a step and go, well, how did this actually begin?
01:21:54.000What organizations were talking about this before?
01:21:56.000The WF, it's one of those organizations.
01:21:58.000So in a sense, they provide lubrication for ideas to enter into the mainstream and help to house and frame these notions.
01:22:07.000A couple of good examples that you've just explained, First James.
01:22:09.000Digital ideas, which for a long time, in British politics particularly, people have talked about that and rejected it.
01:22:18.000The WEF at best are a soft sell for a globalist agenda and soft influence rather than direct political power because they are of course unelected.
01:22:27.000I suppose you could also say Ross is that the pandemic was a way in which these ideas were utilised and brought into the kind of mainstream ideas because when you're saying things like digital passports and people are broadly agreeing with them because of health reasons Maybe 10, 20 years ago when Tony Blair was bringing in the idea of ideas, national ideas, people were rejecting them.
01:22:50.000Well, this is, I suppose, one of the concerns is that if you have a particular agenda, then perhaps, and this is for you to let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, do you imagine that they Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments.
01:23:06.000James, I want you to talk me through some of the star players of the WEF.
01:23:10.000in the chat, let me know in the comments. James, I want you to talk me through some of the star
01:23:13.000players of the WEF. Have a look now at some of the key figures that we're looking to highlight.
01:24:07.000But ultimately they don't have fan support, and that's people like us.
01:24:10.000I mean, people in the wider communities are suffering a cost of living crisis.
01:24:14.000I think one of the major problems we've got at the moment is there seems to be, you know, I used to be, and to an extent still am, a huge fan of aspects of globalism that came out of the Second World War, which is basically to stop perpetually warring Europe and go down the same route again.
01:24:30.000So they looked at trade, they looked at defence, and largely for a period of time they were successful with
01:24:35.000institutions like the WHO, the WEF, you know the UN, the EU, they're all aspects of
01:24:41.000that. But there is a suspicion now that these organisations are not in the best interest of
01:24:48.000Yes, and if militarised conflict is being diffused because economic interests have
01:24:53.000already been centralised and are already cooperating, then that isn't an enormous
01:24:59.000It's just nullified the necessity for conflict at the level of a sovereign nation because those interests have already coalesced, much in the way that we can see that in American politics it doesn't...
01:25:10.000Ultimately matter that much whether you have the Republican Party or the Democrat Party in power because the same interests are finding it.
01:25:34.000So when you talk about fragmentation, one of the ways in which they want to solve a fragmented world, I mean, and they mentioned the energy crisis, didn't they, and the cost of living crisis.
01:25:42.000When you're sponsored by Shell, do you think how much of a... You can't take Shell's money if you're interested in an energy crisis.
01:25:49.000When Shell are having record profits at the moment, or Lockheed Martin, who are profiting up 50% in their stocks now.
01:26:05.000It's that this, surely this will affect... That's how they can do it, yeah.
01:26:07.000It's also about ethical governance as well.
01:26:09.000They wrap it around, you know, so social responsibility is now morphed into, for instance, ESG and so on.
01:26:14.000So you're taking some good values there about environmental sustainability, corporate government's ethical behavior and management, providing aspects of community re-engagement and transformation in areas that have been sort of hollowed out in terms of de-industrialization over the last 40 years.
01:26:29.000These are good ideas, but it's rhetoric.
01:26:32.000And what's happening is these institutions, whether it's from a corporate point of view, a technocratic point of view, or a political point of view, There's been decline for decades.
01:26:42.000If you look at what's happening in this country, the industrialized areas have been completely hollowed out for 40 years, you know, and nothing has rebooted.
01:26:49.000We get a lot of cheap talk from governments going on about northern powerhouses and so on, but it's not happened.
01:26:54.000We've got forgotten communities and people in those communities.
01:26:57.000What's happening right now in Davos is so far removed from them, and it's not addressing their needs.
01:27:05.000And people hear this talk, whether it's coming from our politicians, from our government, whether it's from corporates or technocrats.
01:27:12.000What they do is like Emperor's New Clothes rhetoric.
01:27:14.000They just sort of unwrap it and then come and put more wrapping on and come up with a new phrase.
01:27:18.000They move social responsibility to ESG.
01:27:21.000But meanwhile, communities are getting poorer, more and more people in poverty.
01:27:25.000We've got a cost of living crisis, an energy crisis.
01:27:27.000We've got inflation going through the roof and you've got talking shops in Davos We're effectively going to save the planet and help your lives, but they're not.
01:27:36.000They're getting richer, but everyone else is getting poorer.
01:28:19.000I mean, if you look at this, for me as someone who's left of centre, People think I'm somehow off on the right because I've got a lot of questions about the pandemic response and also digitalisation that came out of the pandemic response and also the role of the WUF.
01:28:36.000What I care about is basically having most communities to have the opportunity to flourish or regenerate, opportunities for next generation, good education, good schools, good public services generally, the opportunity for enterprise culture.
01:28:49.000These are things that should be mandatories that a government should be focusing on.
01:28:53.000And these are things that these guys who are attending Davos claim that they're doing all this.
01:28:58.000They're trying to do it for the best interest of the people.
01:29:00.000But based on their track record over the last, say, 30, 40 years, where there's terminal decline in so many communities, and yet they're saying that somehow, yet again, they're going to change the world.
01:29:15.000You have to eliminate any solutions that would meaningfully impact the interests of the
01:29:19.000powerful and you have to delegitimize any dissent.
01:29:22.000As long as dissent can be dismissed as being, for example, a conspiracy theory or alt-right,
01:29:27.000then you don't have to address those concerns.
01:29:29.000And even when it's huge numbers of people, you know, 50% of a country,
01:29:33.000let's say in the case of the United States or the post-Brexit argument, it doesn't matter.
01:29:39.000As long as you can delegitimize dissenting voices, then you don't have to meaningfully address the fact that there is inertia at the center of democracy or the direction that inertia is heading in.
01:29:52.000Oxfam has called for immediate action to tackle a post-Covid widening gap in global inequality.
01:29:58.000Can I have that article back on the screen, please?
01:30:00.000Two-thirds of new wealth amassed since the start of the pandemic has gone to the richest 1%.
01:30:04.000We talk a lot on this show about Naomi Klein and how, when Naomi Klein was talking a lot in her
01:30:12.000book Shock Doctrine about the CIA agenda as implemented in Central and Latin American
01:30:19.000countries, this was a talking point of the left.
01:30:21.000The destabilization of sovereign nations so that American corporate interest could be implemented and pursued in those nations was understood to be an area that was of concern for the left.
01:30:32.000This appears to be a narrative that has slipped out of the conversation in the sort of shuffling that's occurred in the last ten years.
01:30:40.000I think a lot of the left have been duped over the last two or three years.
01:30:45.000And I say this as someone who stayed pretty consistently left of centre.
01:30:49.000My views in terms of sorting out inequality and poverty and looking at good governance in terms of corporate, but also good governance in terms of governments, that hasn't changed.
01:30:58.000And yet what's happened with this, under the auspices of virtue and safety and convenience, I think we've now got a virtual contract whereby what's happening is that more and more assets are getting hoovered up by the same corporations, by governments and technocrats actually kind of putting it on there and saying to governments and also to corporations, this is the kind of new message, this is new ESG, this is SDG or this is social responsibility.
01:31:25.000and governments then saying we've got to do this because it's in your best interest.
01:31:28.000But based on the track record of governments over the last 30, 40 years,
01:31:32.000there's no evidence to suggest that they are acting in accordance to the best interests
01:31:36.000of millions of people in the countries they're supposed to be governing.
01:31:39.000We're paying our taxes to have good public services, good infrastructures, and government that is competent
01:31:45.000to reach out to communities right around the country.
01:31:48.000But all that's happening is more and more communities feel forgotten about, they feel disenfranchised,
01:31:52.000they're getting poorer, we've got to cost a living crisis, and in terms of the last two or three years,
01:32:05.000These are the same institutions individuals are all going to be at this jamboree over the next few days.
01:32:10.000And meanwhile, the majority of people are so far removed from that.
01:32:13.000So Davos isn't simply a PR exercise, a meaningless affair, but in fact, a significant conference where the world's most powerful interests come together to set and delineate the agenda for coming years.
01:32:29.000Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments what you think.
01:32:32.000But what do any of us really know about Davos and the WF?
01:32:43.000We will be talking to him in a minute.
01:32:44.000James, you said so much that was interesting there.
01:32:46.000The thing I took most from it is how the WF and their virtue signalling agenda is part of the bifurcation that has occurred between the class that governs and ordinary folk that govern.
01:32:57.000Let me know in the chat and the comments what you think.
01:32:59.000We're going to be having a look now at that aspect of the WF in particular and the use of philanthropy by organisations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Clinton Foundation and the sort of soft sell that occurs here and how often we're being told that the agenda of an organisation is philanthropic but sometimes there's real examples of tax avoidance, tax evasion and certainly not paying tax that can also come along as a side dish to that apparent philanthropic agenda.
01:34:35.000But come on, we've got to be talking about taxes.
01:34:38.000They won't be having him back next year.
01:34:39.000All right, well, thanks for coming, mate.
01:34:41.000Next year at Davos, I think we'll have someone who plays by the rules a bit and sings from the same hymn sheet that comes in here and takes the piss out of you, too.
01:34:49.000The world is more than 2,000 billionaires.
01:34:52.000Many of them are being asked to give half of their fortunes to charity.
01:34:56.000The Giving Pledge was created by Bill Gates, his wife, Melinda, and Warren Buffett.
01:35:00.000A decade ago, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, and, like, we're only mentioning them because they're famous billionaires.
01:35:05.000You know, a lot of billionaires, they're faceless.
01:35:07.000I don't mean literally, although possibly they are.
01:35:09.000I mean in a sense that it's difficult to get a handle on them.
01:35:11.000But Buffett and Gates organised the Giving Pledge to inspire their fellow billionaires to donate money to charity.
01:35:18.000Well, it led to, a decade later, which is where we are now, the reality is that billionaire wealth has increased by 95%.
01:35:25.000They pledged when they came up with the Giving Pledge to give away half.
01:35:29.000Instead, their wealth has almost doubled.
01:36:02.000Well the fastest growing areas of the giving sector are private foundations and donor advised funds.
01:36:08.000So watch out if you hear words like foundation or donor advised funds.
01:36:13.000These are often these slippery backdoor channels for appearing like you're donating when actually you're taking or moving capital around in ways that tax can be avoided.
01:36:24.000There's over 1.2 trillion parked in private foundations and an estimated 120 billion in donor advised funds.
01:36:30.000The super-rich have created foundations at a rapid pace.
01:36:33.000From 2003 to 2015, the number of foundations grew by 28%.
01:36:37.000The amount of assets held in those foundations doubled over that period.
01:36:41.000Here's some of the rules around these esoteric and bureaucratic terms.
01:36:46.000DAFs, that's Donor Advised Funds, which I'm going to be calling DAFs from now on.
01:36:52.000Donor advised funds have no mandated payout at all.
01:36:55.000The donor takes a generous tax break when placing funds in the DAF, but the DAF does not legally have to pay out ever.
01:37:01.000Donors can set up a DAF and pass it on to their grandchildren who may or may not ever share the money with active charities.
01:37:08.000So, in a sense, it's like a promise, isn't it?
01:37:10.000It's just like saying, at some point, Unspecified, I might give this money to charity.
01:37:16.000Meanwhile, there it is, safe in me old daff.
01:37:19.000If you ain't a mad fan of the government, say, you might think, I don't want to pay tax either.
01:37:24.000I don't want to pay loads of half my money, or 40% of my money, or 30% of my money, whatever bracket you fall in, so it can be spent on ...bombing the Yemen or doing stuff that I'm not particularly into, that if you as a normal person try tax avoidance, you ain't getting nowhere.
01:37:38.000You're not going to be able to set up a DAF or a foundation and say, in the future, I might give this tax to someone.
01:37:44.000Meanwhile, I'm getting an extension done.
01:37:48.000This is another layer of hypocrisy and a further, I don't know, augmentation, say, of the distinction between a billionaire class and the rest of us.
01:37:59.000The Chronicle of Philanthropy calls them a personal charitable savings account.
01:38:03.000The money, even when it comes in large amounts or mega gifts, doesn't always trickle down to grassroots organisations it's supposed to help.
01:38:10.000Whenever you hear the phrase trickle down, aren't you a bit concerned?
01:38:40.000Billionaire bullying is at an all-time high.
01:38:42.000Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg promising to give away 99% of his shares of the company to charity.
01:38:48.000In 2015, him and his missus, Priscilla Chan, wrote and published a letter to their new baby, Max.
01:38:54.000The letter made a commitment that over the course of their lives they would donate 99% of their shares in Facebook, at the time valued at $45 billion, to the mission of advancing human potential and promoting equality.
01:39:06.000Firstly, Why are you writing a letter to a baby for, anyway, about tax?
01:39:10.000They wrote in an open letter on Facebook that they were creating the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
01:39:15.000The wording of Zuckerberg's 2015 letter could have been interpreted as meaning he was intended to donate 45 billion to charity.
01:39:23.000But, as the reporter Jesse Isinger, whose name's too close to the geezer who played him in Social Network, reported at the time, the Chan Zuckerberg initiative through which this was given is not a not-for-profit charitable foundation, but an LLC, a limited liability company.
01:39:36.000This legal status has significant practical implications, especially when it comes to tax.
01:39:41.000As a company, the initiative can do much more than charitable activity.
01:39:44.000Its legal status gives it the right to invest in other companies and to make political donations.
01:39:48.000Effectively, the company does not restrict Zuckerberg's decision-making as to what he wants to do with his money.
01:39:53.000Really, all that happened is his money went from here to here.
01:40:06.000Max doesn't want details about our LLC and how ultimately what we're doing is moving the money over there, then there, then there, then there.
01:40:13.000In fact, Max would probably be quite grateful.
01:40:17.000So that Zuckerberg, what he could have written, if he was going to be more accurate, is I'm going to set up a Limited liability company, Max, and we're going to move a lot of the assets into that, some of which will be used for commercial purposes.
01:40:35.000There are a number of billionaires in this country, but of these, who is the most philanthropic?
01:40:40.000Now, again, in the spirit of not billionaire bullying, but just billionaire observation, Bill Gates, who the first syllable of his name is the same first syllable of the word billionaire, coincidence.
01:40:53.000Bill Gates ranks second for giving since they created their foundation in 1994.
01:40:58.000He launched his foundation in 94 after the Microsoft antitrust case.
01:41:03.000Is that to do with that little Pipperclip guy?
01:41:06.000I never trusted him when he used to pop up.
01:41:08.000Hey, why don't you try opening a document?
01:41:11.000Gates has invested 36 billion into this foundation he set up in 94, which has a value of 46 billion, and him and his wife exercise total control over it.
01:41:20.000The foundation has given away 23 billion in charitable grants.
01:41:23.000These gifts include billions in tax-deductible donations to companies in which Gates is invested, like Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis and Sanofi.
01:41:33.000If someone says I'm making a charitable donation and it's to GlaxoSmithKline, I'm gonna think, well, hold a minute, ain't that a big massive company?
01:41:41.000That's what's interesting about this, is it places the power in the hands of the already powerful and diminishes the power of, for example, the state to impose wealth distribution.
01:41:53.000There's a lot of talk now about breaking up these monopolies and it seems that this is a necessity because as long as they have the power they do.
01:42:01.000You can't rely on them to make decisions that are going to do anything other than stay in alignment with their raison d'etre, the accumulation of profit, service of their shareholders.
01:42:11.000You know, in fact, the jokes I was making about billionaire bullying, they're just, as far as I'm concerned, human beings like you or me.
01:42:18.000But the systems within which they operate advantage particular mindsets and behaviours.
01:42:22.000And unless they fundamentally ought to, which they will not do if the most powerful people benefit from them staying the same, Then you're going to perpetuate these systems.
01:42:29.000The balance tipped in the year 2000 when the Institute for Policy Studies in the US reported that of the 100 largest economies in the world, 51 were corporations and 49 were national economies.
01:42:43.000So now we live in a world where even though the nation might be the primary way that you understand geography and you understand politics, from an economic perspective that is an inaccurate perception.
01:42:57.000You are literally living in an illusion, because 51 of the most powerful economic entities are corporations.
01:43:06.000What are the implications, therefore, in the kind of laws that we're going to see around economics?
01:43:12.000National taxation models are no longer going to be sufficient when 51 of the most powerful economic entities transcend national boundaries, where their interests transcend national interests.
01:43:22.000So we have to start recognizing now that the logo of a brand like Facebook or Amazon or Microsoft is a kind of
01:43:46.000And no one really came up to me to say, hey, that was a good speech.
01:43:49.000So, you know, I went home with a bit of a bad feeling, to be honest.
01:43:52.000When you look at Davos and who attends it, it's clear to see the balance of world power shifting.
01:43:58.000CEOs and the heads of recognizable corporations are at least as significant as the political figures that also attend.
01:44:05.000So we can see At this event, how there is collaboration and cooperation, there's another C word for that, is taking place at Davos, and also how the balance of power is shifting.
01:44:18.000The T word is really the forbidden word in places like Davos.
01:44:23.000You can talk about anything, about education, about feminism, about climate change, as long as you don't talk about higher taxes on the rich.
01:44:34.000It's because, and Adam Curtis is big on this, and if you watch our Under the Skin with him, you'll see him talk about it, that nations, as yet, do still have the power to control corporations.
01:44:44.000They can pass anti-monopolisation legislation.
01:44:47.000They can pass legislature for higher taxation.
01:44:50.000I ain't talking about taxation on normal bods, or even people that are well off.
01:44:53.000I'm talking about super powerful corporations.
01:44:57.000Like, for example, in 2008, when at the stroke of a pen, Barack Obama wrote off through quantitative easing the financial mismanagement and corruption of Wall Street.
01:45:33.000They say that kind of extreme giving is needed because the rich have been getting so much richer.
01:45:39.000Tech innovations and rising global markets have produced vast fortunes not seen since the industrial revolution.
01:45:47.000There's a terrible problem with capitalism.
01:45:49.000These elites have risen to the top, creating these sort of uber-powerful figures that have got much more money than everyone else combined.
01:45:54.000Who should we turn to to create a solution for it?
01:46:58.000And two, it suggests that if you aren't a billionaire, it's somehow your fault and that it's laudable and admirable to accrue obscene wealth.
01:47:09.000You can't really, though, call a nation a society when the free richest people have as much money as the 50% of the poorest people.
01:47:19.000There's no longer a relationship between them.
01:47:21.000You may as well accept the truth that some of us are under this flag, the flag of corporation and the transnational globalist privilege that it represents, and others are under this flag, a tattered, battered, decaying rag that stands for nothing but inequality and exploitation.
01:47:38.000One panel hidden away in the media center that was actually about tax avoidance?
01:47:41.000I mean, it feels like I'm at a firefighters conference and no one's allowed to speak about water.
01:47:46.000I suppose then, if the point of Davos is to come up with solutions, one of the things they might consider discussing next time is the breakup of monopolies and the taxation of the extreme wealthy, and placing that power in the hands of nations, states, governments, better yet, ordinary people.
01:48:04.000Rather than in the hands of the people that are set to gain most from things staying the same.

01:48:28.000Also, I've got a book coming out, Revelation, in which I talk about the spiritual principles that underwrite my personal transformation and transition.
01:49:53.000In Luther, he was a reliable cop who got the job done.
01:49:58.000We're going to be talking to Andrew Lawton in a minute, live from Davos, but here are some more of your comments.
01:50:04.000Sarah Jefferson says, I want to see what pandemic they're planning for us next.
01:50:08.000Well, they had to have planned a pandemic in the first place.
01:50:10.000I don't think anyone's Suggesting that that's happened, Sarah Jefferson, especially not while we're still on YouTube.
01:50:15.000We'll be only on Rumble in a minute, so if you're watching this on YouTube, remember to click over, particularly to see our presentation on the WHO's propaganda and how that relates, or rather is at odds with, an incredible new study about adverse reactions that we literally are unable to discuss on YouTube, but I know you're going to love.
01:50:33.000You're going to feel vindicated by it, you're going to feel educated by it, you're going to feel informed.
01:50:37.000Shall we talk to Andrew Lawton now, who's actually at Davos, because whatever we may feel or think about Davos, we simply haven't got the snow under our feet.
01:50:46.000We're simply unable, unlike Andrew, to feel the genuine atmosphere of Davos.
01:51:04.000I was given United Arab Emirates hot chocolate.
01:51:06.000There's lots of hospitality, although a little bit of a cold weather for those of us that are not necessarily used to it.
01:51:12.000I'm Canadian, so I'm good, but some of the others I worry for.
01:51:15.000You can't just douse yourself in hot chocolate in an attempt to inoculate yourself against circumstances.
01:51:22.000Andrew, have you seen anything so far?
01:51:25.000Firstly, I just want to get an idea of what it's like.
01:51:27.000Is it just like any ordinary conference or can you see any evidence of globalist skullduggery aside from what sounds like delicious hot chocolate?
01:51:37.000I haven't seen the globalist skullduggery just yet, but we're also still getting set up here.
01:51:42.000And it's a bit like a weird billionaire trade show because when you walk down the main street,
01:51:48.000all of these stores, which the rest of the year are ski shops and coffee shops,
01:51:53.000have all been taken over by corporations that pay a large amount of money
01:51:57.000just to basically turn themselves into exhibits.
01:52:00.000You've got Microsoft and Salesforce and Uber and Amazon, and they all just try to bring in politicians and investors
01:52:07.000into these little pavilions, they call them.
01:52:44.000I walked into them voluntarily because I want to get a sense of what the message is that they're giving.
01:52:49.000Interestingly enough, I went in earlier to the Mohammed bin Salman Foundation pavilion.
01:52:54.000This is the foundation that is run by the Saudi royal family, although not officially.
01:53:00.000And was thrown out of it because my videographer dared to take a video of me walking through what they said was an open tour because they wanted to show off all the work they were doing to the public.
01:53:10.000And it strikes me as a bit odd that they would have the expense and effort of being here to show off what they're doing and then kick out a journalist for daring to want a video of it.
01:53:23.000And I find this to be very perplexing, although not all that surprising at the same time.
01:54:04.000Because Bin Salman there, even though he's not a head of state, was granted immunity and the ability to travel into America, even after America said that they would make Saudi Arabia a pariah of the world.
01:54:14.000And presumably that was because of their involvement in the murder of... Well, they're alleged.
01:54:24.000This is the key to the World Economic Forum, is that all of the rules that exist everywhere else in the world for these countries don't apply.
01:54:31.000This is the place that right now is talking about Russia as being public enemy number one, but a couple of years ago had Vladimir Putin as a keynote speaker.
01:54:39.000It's a country that talks about the importance of free market and international cooperation.
01:54:45.000But rolled out the red carpet for Chairman Xi Jinping.
01:54:48.000They talk about press freedom on one side, but invite Saudi Arabia as being the special partner on the other.
01:54:55.000And they don't even seem to really care about that hypocrisy, because they really are above criticism.
01:55:00.000And that term malinformation is, I think, a great way that they deflect against that criticism.
01:55:12.000And this is all that happens to anyone who raises what I think are pretty legitimate criticisms about what happens here.
01:55:18.000We're criticising it and I challenge anyone to call me a bad actor, especially if they've seen the film Arthur, which I believe was very well acted indeed.
01:56:17.000Which sessions are you keen to attend, Andrew?
01:56:20.000Well, the one actually tonight that I'm interested in is about how we can all live a climate positive lifestyle.
01:56:26.000Because last time they all met in May, there was this executive with Alibaba bragging about how he was inventing this individual carbon footprint tracker that monitored What you weighed and where you travel and how you travel and what you do.
01:56:42.000So I'm wondering if that might feed into the climate positive lifestyle that they're going to be prescribing this evening.
01:56:49.000Yes, it seems like the management of behavior, the ability to observe transaction and the sort of BF Skinner style capacity to nudge or even, let's face it, control the way that we live our lives, where we spend our money, how we spend our money seems to be centrifugal to the tenets When you bring that into conjunction with the advances around AI, and that means another area where working people won't have any power or ability, i.e.
01:57:22.000to bond together in low paid work in order to form unions and to oppose the agenda of the powerful, Seems like they're, in a sense, creating the perfect conditions for globalism, shutting down dissent, controlling information through these new terms that are becoming popularised, mis-, mal-, and dis-information.
01:57:41.000Are you having a look at any of the AI stuff while you're there, Andrew?
01:57:45.000Yeah, AI is actually one of the big themes they're moving in towards this year.
01:57:49.000And I mean, obviously, it's here, there's no avoiding it.
01:57:52.000It's a part of life now and will become more of one.
01:57:54.000But what's interesting is that on one hand, they're celebrating it and really making AI the central focus.
01:58:00.000But on the other hand, one of the sessions on the agenda is about how to deal with technology displacing 1 billion people, billion with a B, from their jobs because of technology.
01:58:10.000And this is not just replacing some pair of hands on an assembly line with a machine.
01:58:15.000We're talking about now with AI, replacing human minds.
01:58:18.000We're talking about replacing thinking individuals.
01:58:21.000And I think it's gonna be a heck of a lot more than a billion people that are AI'd out of work.
01:58:26.000But the challenge is, it's not the people here at Davos that are ever gonna find themselves out of work
01:58:32.000because of these innovations and because of these technological developments.
01:58:35.000No one here suffered during the pandemic.
01:58:38.000No one here is going to suffer from the need for re-skilling or retraining
01:58:43.000because some computer has made their job redundant.
01:58:47.000James Melville, our guest in the studio, similarly was diagnosing as the main problem
01:58:55.000or flaw in the Davos and the Davos mentality is that it exposes this bifurcation
01:59:03.000between the governed and the governing.
01:59:07.000The inadvertent metaphor of them being in rarefied air on the top of a mountain issuing decrees that will not affect them but will affect ordinary people whose lives they do not understand nor wish to understand is central to this problem.
01:59:23.000And it seems to me that in a way, the amendment to the conditions created by the ability of people to instantaneously
01:59:30.000communicate through new technology and therefore organize, the ability to oppose centralized establishment agenda
01:59:35.000through the communication of our own stories and narratives, in particular those that expose hypocrisy and corruption,
01:59:42.000is one, to create this new terminology, misinformation, disinformation and malinformation,
01:59:46.000and of course to replace working people in this AI era, to disempower people so that there's even less leverage for
01:59:54.000ordinary people when it comes to countenancing the evident agenda that the WEF Davos perfectly represents,
02:00:02.000even if you do get a wide array of sweet chocolatey beverages, Andrew, which seem to have swayed you and
02:00:13.000Yeah, Andrew, I was just wondering if you might have any ideas around the kind of disinformation, because obviously one of their big main topics is around disinformation this year.
02:00:20.000And as we've seen with Davos before and the WEF, things that they've spoken about, for example, digital ID, that now we're seeing in California, Gavin Newsom is actually bringing in digital ID.
02:00:31.000So we are seeing the manifestation of things that are spoken about at Davos actually coming to become government policy.
02:00:37.000With disinformation and misinformation, we found a lot out through the Twitter files recently in ways in which there were these collusions between big tech and the government.
02:00:47.000So we are learning a bit more about that kind of influence.
02:00:50.000But what do you think the next big play might be to come out of Davos this year and what we might see in the future manifest?
02:00:59.000Well, a lot more people are paying attention to the World Economic Forum now than were five years ago.
02:01:05.000And I think a big part of this was when they came out with their Great Reset, which I know you're very well familiar with, in 2020, as far as rebuilding the world after the pandemic.
02:01:15.000A lot of people who had never really had this organization on their radar started to look into it.
02:01:19.000And as you were talking about with James earlier, they start looking through the back catalog and seeing all of these other things that have been talked about before.
02:01:27.000And I think in the context of this year, the big challenge we're seeing is that there are conspiracy theories about the World Economic Forum that have no basis in fact.
02:01:35.000When you hear people talking about, you know, everyone being, you know, For example, this pandemic was planned and orchestrated, people being injected with 5G chips and stuff like that.
02:01:45.000But the problem is that they use those and elevate those conspiracy theories to deflect all of the other criticism that is very reasoned, that is very rooted in fact, that is very much Defined and delivered in terms of their own language, their own prescriptions.
02:02:04.000And to go back to the malinformation point, I think we're going to start to see more pushes to regulate this form of information, which means to censor this information.
02:02:14.000Last year at the annual meeting, there was a woman from Australia who has a government digital safety commission role.
02:02:22.000Who talked about the need to, in her words, recalibrate things that we've always understood, and she included in that specifically freedom of speech.
02:02:30.000So we need to recalibrate freedom of speech because it might not apply to the modern era.
02:02:35.000And I think that's going to be something we hear a lot more of.
02:02:38.000And if you look at what the UK is doing with the online harms bill, What Canada is doing with a number of internet regulations.
02:02:46.000These things are already coming and I think when you get all these leaders that are of a shared mindset in one place, it will accelerate that.
02:02:53.000It also shows that when people with shared interests come together, that there is an inevitability that a centralized agenda will emerge.
02:03:04.000Andrew, of course, you wrote the book Freedom Convoy.
02:03:08.000I wonder if you see in the WEF the topics discussed and in particular what you have just said about that we are likely now to see a calibration of freedom of speech.
02:03:19.000A lot of you I know watching this, let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, regard freedom of speech as an absolute right, an absolute value, obviously excluding immediately and evidently harmful declarations, you know the famous fire in a theatre example.
02:03:36.000I wonder How did you, how do you feel a globalist agenda played out during the trucker convoy?
02:03:43.000I'm referring of course to the freezing of bank accounts of people that sought to fund that protest, the media, the ongoing media malignment of the trucker or maligning of the truckers and of course the fact that they were responding to a mandate decree that likely came from centralised and unelected bodies.
02:04:04.000Well, I don't think anyone who watched what was happening in Canada in February of last year would be surprised to learn that there's a lot of criticism towards central bank digital currencies.
02:04:15.000Why would we ever accept a digital currency that the government controls when we've already seen a government in a so-called democratic nation freeze the bank accounts Of its political critics.
02:04:26.000And as an added point, there was in Canada in, I believe it was in May, a system outage of the largest telecommunications provider.
02:04:34.000And for a day and a half, you could not send money to people.
02:04:38.000You could not use debit or credit cards in most retail outlets because they couldn't connect to the Internet.
02:04:44.000And I think that was actually a very useful illustration of what happens when everyone's finances are controlled in a very centralized Digital way.
02:04:54.000So I think that is very important here because we're talking about control and you cannot have centralization without control that can be used either in a very malicious way by governments or even just by virtue of technological issues.
02:05:09.000So I think that this is something that people need to be more concerned about and people need to pay more attention to and not just be consumed by the so-called convenience of these innovations that they don't realize the inevitable, I think, outcomes of this in someone who doesn't actually value fundamental freedoms.
02:05:28.000Again and again, we hear how convenience and safety are used to advance the agenda of these authoritarian regimes that present themselves as anything but authoritarian.
02:05:39.000The promotion of digital IDs and centralized currencies ultimately lead to a greater ability to control.
02:05:45.000Even if you don't want to directly accuse existing administrations or corporate interests of having that agenda, certainly this new technology implemented in that way will afford that Ability.
02:06:37.000Not Tony Blair, not Anthony Scaramucci.
02:06:39.000No, actually, I do like Tony Blair as well.
02:06:41.000I think in particular, I liked it when he said, Iraq definitely have got weapons of mass destruction.
02:06:45.000We're going to have to go to war with them.
02:06:47.000Then I think a million Iraqi folk died.
02:06:49.000And then he just sort of says, sorry about that.
02:06:50.000And then he grew his hair too long in that lockdown when he looked like sort of Nosferatu, turned himself into a sort of a literal vampire man.
02:07:08.000Because who wants Nick Clegg, former leader of the Lib Dems in our little country, the UK, now, I believe, working, by coincidence, at Facebook Meta?
02:07:17.000He used to work in the government, now he's got a job at Facebook Meta.
02:08:28.000Good evening, and a very cordial welcome to the annual meeting 2023.
02:08:35.000I express this cordial welcome on behalf of the Board of Trustees and my colleague, Borge Brende, the President, and all the members of the Management Board, as well as all the people who are here.
02:08:57.000He's had so much time to prepare and he still hasn't swallowed that phlegm.
02:09:01.000Klaus, you've had a year to get rid of it.
02:09:04.000Before you go on the stage, Klaus, would you swallow?
02:09:15.000You shouldn't ridicule a man for that.
02:09:16.000You should ridicule them instead for their globalist agenda.
02:09:21.000We're going to have to come off YouTube in a minute because there are things that we have to discuss that cannot be permitted on a platform that has ultimately allowed... It's not phlegm.
02:12:21.000Okay, well, listen, one of the things that old Klaus Schwab's pretty keen to have happen is that we get... Now, without wanting to sound conspiratorial, I think he does literally want us to have microchips in our brain at some point.
02:12:54.000Right, so we're going to be talking to Tim In a minute.
02:12:56.000I'm not sure what the cue is for Tim and then but now let's have a look at Klaus Schwab.
02:13:01.000This is like one of the things that people say is like you know I like that Andrew just said they promote some of the more baroque ridiculous conspiracy theories like uh you know well no we're on rumble now like the pandemic was planned the plannedemic idea and that the vaccines have things in them like that make you trackable and stuff like that.
02:13:19.000These are not things that I believe by the way.
02:13:23.000But they do say some pretty crazy shit over there, like here's Klaus Schwab literally endorsing the idea of a microchip in the brain.
02:13:30.000This gives us questions about Elon Musk as well, because Neuralink is one of his prized projects, and sometimes we think You know, Musk, when it comes to the release of the Twitter files, is obviously a kind of a provocateur and an anti-establishment figure.
02:13:43.000They don't work that hard to bring someone down if their agenda is in alignment.
02:13:47.000But elsewhere, Musk is a transhumanist who believes in progressivism and that technology can solve all of humanity's problems.
02:13:54.000Whereas I, if you care about this, I believe that spirituality and personal awakening and a willingness to sacrifice, decentralised power, democratised communities has to be part of it.
02:14:05.000That you can't have an aristocratic solution.
02:14:07.000You can't have elites governing ordinary people and expect ordinary people's lives to improve.
02:14:14.000So let's have a look at Klaus Schwab right now advocating for sticking a microchip right down in the old grey matter.
02:14:24.000have an implant in our brains and I can immediately feel because you all will have implants I can and we measure you all So they're mandated implants?
02:14:40.000We didn't like it when it was the vaccines!
02:14:43.000You won't be allowed into clubs, you won't be allowed to go on certain airlines.
02:17:33.000They're going to give this award to Idris Elba to justify Idris Elba being there.
02:17:37.000Again, it's difficult for me to do this because sometimes there's people that turn up, David Attenborough, Greta, Idris Elba, and I think these are good people.
02:17:43.000They're not saying they're bad people, obviously.
02:17:46.000So I guess Idris Elba is going to get the Crystal Award.
02:17:50.000I want to see how he's going to pull off taking it in a sincere way.
02:17:54.000Obviously, like we discussed this earlier, Idris Elba must have some foundation or organisation that he's very keen to help and he's doing this for the right reasons, obviously.
02:18:27.000Many of us have enjoyed his videos, his impersonations.
02:18:32.000Hey, would you like now, we've had a look at Klaus Schwab, we've had a look at Hilde Schwab and I want to look at how Do we want to look at your Idris Elba acceptance speech?
02:19:10.000No, actually I've been watching you so far, so the highlights are coming directly from you.
02:19:15.000That's right, and you can trust us to convey this story to you without any agenda.
02:19:23.000Sorry, we've got Davos on in the background and every so often they try to jam our stream.
02:19:28.000So listen, we know that big tech are, broadly speaking, in bed with Davos.
02:19:33.000So while we get a handle on that, let me tell you that Tim is going to give us some unique insights into exactly what it is that's so malevolent about the WF and Davos.
02:19:43.000Isn't this just a business conference, Tim?
02:19:45.000Are we making a lot of fuss about nothing?
02:19:49.000They're all in this, you know, for the common good and for our benefits.
02:19:53.000And there's really nothing to worry about.
02:19:56.000No, but what they are doing is, you know, as James said earlier, bringing in the system of control, and they're doing that through many technological means, digital identity being one, central bank digital currencies being the other, but then also the internet of bodies.
02:20:15.000So there's going to be a session coming up ready for brain transparency, which is about hacking the human brain through neurotechnology.
02:20:24.000Which is basically discussing privacy and freedom once your brain can be decoded.
02:20:33.000So if you think disinformation is bad now, censorship and freedom of speech, then coming up is going to be freedom of thought.
02:20:42.000That's going to be one to look out for.
02:20:45.000You can see, in a sense, ideologically, that the curation of the public space might lead to a kind of self-censorship, but the idea that actual neurological activity could be interceded is extraordinary.
02:21:00.000And I suppose that an organisation that is interested primarily in control and selling the idea of control as positive and beneficial to ordinary people will have no upper limit, I suppose.
02:21:14.000I'm always struck, really, when I look at this stuff, by how anodyne it is.
02:21:19.000Seemingly lacking in menace it is, but I suppose that's what corporatism offers.
02:21:24.000Because it's come via commercialisation, they understand semiotics, they understand messaging, they understand that they have to capture a blend of sort of mundanity, sort of tedium, that it's kind of boring and banal, that you don't want to take it in.
02:21:38.000The kind of blue backgrounds, the kind of innocuousness.
02:21:41.000These aren't jagged and fascistic systems of messaging.
02:21:45.000They make their agenda seem normal and necessary and part of a progressive flow of life.
02:21:52.000Could you talk to me a bit as well, mate, about what circular economies are and how that's going to impact us in coming years?
02:22:01.000So that's what Adrian Monk, the managing director, pretty much the propaganda minister of the World Economic Forum, had referred to One of my stories referred to me as a bad faith actor for targeting the forum's coverage on the circular economy.
02:22:17.000So the circular economy on the surface, like you say they incorporate, they make it look so mundane and nice and all these things, on the surface it's about reusing and recycling materials and longer lifespans and everything for supply chains.
02:22:32.000On the back end of that though is their business model.
02:22:35.000So their Circular economy business model is product as a service.
02:22:40.000This is where you'll own nothing and be happy actually comes from this business model.
02:22:45.000Of course, Ida Auken, the Danish MP, she wrote that in 2016, that story about owning nothing.
02:22:51.000But then, that's what she credited was the circular economy.
02:22:56.000Breakthroughs in the circular economy is what allowed a nation, a class of renters.
02:23:01.000So what the circular economy in business models looks like is that there's a small asset class of owners who own everything while they rent out every single product which has become a service to everyone else.
02:23:17.000And this can also tie into where, you know, if you own nothing and automation is taking over many jobs, then how do you get money?
02:23:27.000That's when you introduced universal basic income using central bank digital currencies, which can be programmed To limit how much you can own.
02:23:37.000Where you can spend it, what you can spend it on, so on and so forth.
02:23:41.000And so while you're sitting there collecting your universal basic income, which is just a voucher pretty much to what you use it on, then they can say, we've eliminated poverty.
02:23:53.000That's one of the sustainable development goals.
02:23:56.000So if everyone's down here, you guys got all this income and you just plugged into the metaverse, then what's the problem?
02:24:06.000My God, that's a really terrifying depiction that you've just offered us there.
02:24:10.000I had the image of like citadels, the idea of walled cities that were only accessible to people that were sanctioned and permitted within the walls, but that's happening on a kind of a cyber level now that there are just there are certain boundaries and thresholds that won't be able to be crossed and With your idea there about the universal basic income and the elimination of poverty, presumably these vouchers that will be issued will only be able to be permissible to be spent in particular ways, allowing the kind of corporate partners, I might imagine, a kind of assurity that the money's only going to be spent within their organisations.
02:24:46.000And when, as we've not used that brilliant asset yet, of how many nations, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, these are now essentially more powerful than I can't say any nation on earth because of China and the United States, but these corporations operate within those nations.
02:25:03.000So the idea that the corporation is a subset of the nation is gone.
02:25:07.000The idea that these unelected bodies like the WHO, IMF and WEF, in perhaps a less tangible way, we now have unelected private entities that have a lot more power than any nation and we're seeing now that democracy within
02:25:25.000those countries in itself is a kind of stitched up game because of lobbying,
02:25:40.000Jump in and say like this, you know it sounds like conspiracy.
02:25:43.000You can quite easily get to the place where it sounds like, oh, they're going to control our lives.
02:25:47.000You know, this kind of universal credit and keep us all, you know, being able to spend on what we want.
02:25:52.000But literally, Tom Morton, the director of the Bank of England, said about CBDCs, he said there could be some socially beneficial outcomes.
02:25:59.000You could think of giving your children pocket money, but programming the money so that it can't be used for sweets.
02:26:05.000So, I mean, this is literally in response to, and that is for the source of the Telegraph, this is not from anywhere other than the mainstream media itself, where the director of the Bank of England is basically telling us that once digital currencies come in, we'll be able to control how people spend it.
02:26:21.000What do you think are some of the far, the more far out ideas that are likely to come out of this conference, Tim, and what kind of future does it infer?
02:26:33.000Well, one of them is, when you talked about kind of digital walling off of things, is an actual physical one within the cities.
02:26:40.000So, I don't know if you've heard the notion of a 15-minute city, but actually in the program of this year's Davos, there's a session called Bold New Cities Take the Stage, in which they talk about 10-minute cities.
02:26:54.000So that's basically where the thing, the city is sectioned off.
02:26:58.000So you have quadrants, you know, this is the Hunger Games kind of thing.
02:27:01.000So you got your sectors, 12, 10, and all that, and you're not allowed to go outside that area.
02:27:06.000How do you control and monitor and either incentivize or coerce people into staying in their quadrants?
02:27:13.000Well, you need a digital identity as a foundation for that.
02:27:18.000We've already got that technological foundation all set up through The last couple of years with these digital health certificates, aka vaccine passports, that's at the stage because in order to do anything, participate in society, access essential goods and services, that's what's going to be needed.
02:27:36.000So that's one of the crazy ones that's out there.
02:27:38.000That's been going on for a while, still continuing.
02:27:41.000But again, talking about that brain transparency thing.
02:27:46.000Well, I'm saying like, what I imagine is that once the technology exists to do something, almost the incentive exists to implement it.
02:27:55.000I suppose we have weapons that have been invented that have, thank God, not yet been used.
02:28:01.000But it's easy now to look at a kind of history of piloting and say, oh, look, that's where they tested that idea.
02:28:07.000When you said the stuff about the 10 minute city, I thought about like the kind of tags you wear if you're sort of convicted of like, you know, tags that will buzz or inform people.
02:28:16.000And if we're all if we've all carrying digital IDs and our actions and movements would be easier to monitor.
02:28:22.000And it seems to me that they're using the climate change narrative to Introduce the possibility of lockdowns where ordinary people, not these guys who fly around on private jets at a whim, will have travel restricted.
02:28:41.000And it seems as well, even on Rumble, I'm not suggesting that the pandemic was not a legitimate biomedical event, but That you can see how they have piloted the idea of lockdowns now.
02:28:56.000In countries like the UK, wherever it is you're living, Tim, at the beginning of the lockdown they said, oh, in China they can lock people down because it's an authoritarian, centralized, communist country.
02:29:07.000You won't be able to pull that stuff off in Italy or the US or England.
02:29:14.000And all you have to do is condemn dissenters.
02:29:18.000If you smear dissenters as conspiracy theorists and whack jobs, Man, not that long ago, even if you were avowedly and overtly a conspiracy theorist entitled to be in a conversation, you can have edgeland views, unusual opinions that needn't be hateful.
02:29:35.000So already in the conversations we've had today, we've talked about freedom of speech being calibrated.
02:29:40.000We've talked about the ability to scan people's Consciousness and mental activity, the ability to monitor movement, the elimination of poverty, even a goal like that that seems so sort of beautiful and fruitful and noble being used as a way essentially to assert more regulation and control.
02:30:01.000So I suppose that's an interesting lens to use with the WF.
02:30:03.000Look at the stuff they've been saying in the past and look at what things have subsequently been implemented.
02:30:07.000Look at the technologies that are being introduced and then imagine how they might be used.
02:30:12.000No, even if you want to give people the benefit of the doubt and say, no, neoliberalist Western democracies don't have that kind of malevolent intent.
02:30:22.000What if a different or centralised authority were ever to get that authority?
02:30:26.000And I would say the way that things are heading at the moment, it's kind of looking like that's the kind of dystopic vision we're moving towards anyway.
02:30:34.000Yeah, well, you're exactly right about the narratives.
02:30:38.000So before COVID and before the Great Reset, the World Economic Forum was pushing these policies for climate change, you know, digital ID, limited mobility, climate refugees, things like that.
02:30:52.000And then once the pandemic came along, they just kind of transcribed all that climate stuff onto COVID.
02:30:58.000So instead of having climate lockdowns and things, you had health lockdowns and quarantines and Things like that.
02:31:05.000And so now that the COVID control narrative is all but collapsed, they're moving right back into climate change.
02:31:12.000So that's where digital ID is going to be needed for all these climate refugees they say are going to exist.
02:31:57.000It seems that no matter what the problem is, the solution that will be presented is digital IDs, social credit scores, the ability to lock people down.
02:32:07.000So that's something we can watch for, isn't it?
02:32:09.000We can say, oh, wow, the problem used to be the pandemic.
02:32:17.000And also, you know, in a sense, you know, some of what you're talking about, about carbon emissions and, you know, carbon foot tracker.
02:32:26.000If, in a sense, for me personally, if I knew that, as a collective, this was the only way that we were going to tackle some of the issues, you know, to eat less meat so we all had to track what we ate, these were the only ways to tackle some of the issues that are facing this planet.
02:32:41.000But then when you know that 71% of global emissions are caused by 100 of the biggest companies in the world, and they're getting tax breaks, They're represented at Davos by paying their money to be there and getting favourable decisions and colluding with governments.
02:32:55.000So you know, it's not them that's doing it, it is us.
02:32:58.000And this comes back to the hypocrisy that James was talking about.
02:33:00.000That's brilliant because they will only present solutions that do not meaningfully impact the agenda of the powerful.
02:33:07.000Solutions that are like, hey, why don't we just Shut down all of that type of fossil fuel, and at great expense, set up new systems of energy.
02:33:14.000We had a guest on the show the other week who told us that solar and wind could only meet one fifth of our energy needs, even operating at maximum capacity.
02:33:21.000So it seems that there is some disinformation that comes out of that anyway, and we'll check that further.
02:33:25.000But yeah, one of the, I think, the great tools for examining this stuff is Are the solutions that they present never a challenge to the existing framework?
02:33:34.000They never say that we're going to break up these monopolies, we're going to democratize these workplaces, we're going to give you control of your communities.
02:33:42.000These kind of solutions are never suggested.
02:33:45.000Tim, we've got to, unless you've got something to say mate, we've got Idris Elba's on stage at Davos.
02:33:50.000and we're about to convey that. You're very welcome to stay on the line.
02:33:53.000I think we're going to... Tim, stay with us, mate.
02:34:45.000Today is well recognized that economic, social and natural well-being of our planet are completely interrelated and Davos may be one of the first platforms to get it.
02:34:59.000We understand the power and the change that can come from this room.
02:35:05.000Davos has become the de facto platform for governments, for corporates, for philanthropists,
02:35:11.000for activism, for protesters, to mobilize quickly, which is why we're all here, because
02:35:18.000we can move with agility and speed and your speed.
02:35:22.000I like Idris Elba a lot and I wouldn't want to criticize Idris Elba for like a number of reasons.
02:35:28.000That's not a person who I would want to sort of feel ill about me because I feel like he's a good person and he's a self-made man.
02:35:35.000But he's got a cause obviously hasn't he?
02:35:38.000But it's pretty, when he said like this is a centre of power for governments and corporates it's I mean, if you look at the attendees and if you look at the agenda that's being represented, I feel like, you know, I'd love to directly talk to Idris Elba about the WEF and Davos.
02:36:28.000I think seeing Idris Elba on stage, except in a crystal, reignited my appetite to be taken seriously as a content creator.
02:36:39.000We made a presentation about the WHO and their anti-vaxx propaganda, saying that anti-vaxxers are more dangerous than uh terrorists i mean they literally say it you'll see it in a moment in our short movie they call it anti uh vaccine active anti-vaccine activism activism is more dangerous than terrorism we've presented it alongside some information that we can talk about explicitly actually on rumble that's the advantage that there's been a new study that shows that the adverse reactions to some of the vaccines and this is using
02:37:08.000Information from the NIH and from Pfizer and Moderna comes back as regular as one in 800 events.
02:37:13.000And to give that some context, there's a couple of other vaccines historically that had adverse effects as infrequently as one in 100,000 that was pulled off the shelves.
02:37:23.000Another one, one in 10,000 that was pulled off the shelves.
02:37:26.000So it seems like this vaccine was not treated like other Vaccines and I suppose in order to do that, you have to present the problem is so enormous and significant that it warrants a new approach now over the course of the last couple of years.
02:37:40.000I think many of us changed our perspective on on the pandemic and the use of power and control around it and certainly the profits that Pfizer along with other pharmaceutical companies made.
02:37:55.000These are presumably those what I just outlined there.
02:37:57.000They're subjects that you're interested in because you seem like that sort of person in your flat cap with your headphones on with your sparkling blue eyes.
02:38:34.000Yeah, check out Tim Hinchliffe's website, Sociable, and Tim, we'll talk to you again soon.
02:38:39.000Now it's time for us to have a look at our presentation on the anti-vax activism movement as presented by the WHO and some information about adverse reactions I think you're going to love that you will only be able to see unedited and uncensored here on Rumble.
02:39:33.000Meanwhile, there are some studies that have come out that make some interesting claims about adverse vaccine reactions based on available information from the Let's have a look now at the WHO's brilliant piece of propaganda.
02:39:48.000We have to recognize that anti-vaccine activism, which I actually call anti-science aggression.
02:39:53.000That's what I call it, because that sounds worse.
02:40:01.000And of course, if science was funded in a particular way and had a particular desired outcome or agenda, like, for example, to accrue profits and revenue, It would still be science.
02:40:09.000That wouldn't mean that it was a subset of a corporatist globalist movement.
02:40:23.000During the COVID pandemic in the United States, 200,000 Americans needlessly lost their lives because they refused a COVID vaccine.
02:40:31.000Okay, well let's make sure there's data on that.
02:40:33.000Even after vaccines became widely available, and now the anti-vaccine activism is expanding across the world, even into low- and middle-income countries.
02:40:42.000Even those people, poor people, even poor people are anti-vaccine now.
02:40:46.000I mean, that's not as bad because we won't give them vaccines anyway because Bill Gates won't allow them to have the patents, so that's not as bad.
02:40:52.000But it shows you how bad, even people that can't afford the vaccines don't want the vaccines, and that's a problem!
02:41:20.000it's linked to far-extremism on the far-right.
02:41:22.000Far-right as well, you know, similarly, there's two things.
02:41:26.000Not wanting to take a medicine for reasons that we'll be talking about in a minute, and also being a racist.
02:41:31.000Somehow those things have been combined, almost as if you want to smear people who dissent to ensure that that message can never reach people.
02:41:38.000Same in Germany, so this is a new... Literally got the word propaganda repeated again and again and again because it is propaganda!
02:41:44.000Face of anti-science aggression and so we need political solutions to address this.
02:41:51.000What, like censorship, misinformation, disinformation, malinformation?
02:41:55.000the subject of the current WEF Davos Convention.
02:41:58.000What a coincidence, yeah, it's almost like they're trying to create an appetite
02:42:31.000Now, this is written by two far-right, worse-than-terrorist nuclear threats.
02:42:36.000For example, this terrorist bastard, Robert M. Kaplan.
02:42:40.000Yeah, sure, he might be Emeritus Distinguished Professor at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and an adjunct professor of medicine at Stanford University's Clinical Excellence Research Center, but that's not the full picture.
02:42:55.000Oh yeah, he's also an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, but he's also worse than a nuclear bomb.
02:43:00.000Alongside him, his dastardly companion in this murderous endeavour, was Sander Greenland, Emeritus Professor of Epidemiology and Statistics at UCLA and Fellow of the American Statistical Association and Royal Statistical Society, and he's also worse than a loaded gun in the hand of a baby boy pointed at an orphan.
02:43:19.000In September 2022, along with an international group of physicians and scientists, we published a study suggesting that the risks of COVID-19 vaccines may be greater than previously reported.
02:43:31.000Using publicly available data from Pfizer and Moderna studies, okay, so it's Pfizer and Moderna's studies, they're just collating and presenting existing data.
02:43:41.000Which also, by the way, could be biased.
02:43:43.000Let me know in the chat, let me know in the comments, if you think you can trust wholly and solely Pfizer and Moderna.
02:43:47.000Before you tell me, have a look at how much money they made from the pandemic.
02:43:50.000We found one serious adverse event for each 800 vaccinees.
02:43:54.000That translates to about 1,250 serious events for each million vaccine recipients.
02:43:59.000Many physicians and scientists believe that vaccination programs are the key to ending the coronavirus pandemic.
02:44:05.000Some warn that our analysis might harm public health by stimulating more vaccine hesitancy.
02:44:10.000Yet if some concerns are valid, remaining quiet could also result in harm and further erode public trust in science.
02:44:50.000In 1999, the rotavirus vaccine, Rotashield, was withdrawn following reports of interception in about 1 or 2 in 10,000.
02:44:59.000As widely acknowledged, COVID vaccines prevent hospitalizations and the clinical trials estimated that between 225 and 625 hospitalizations were prevented per million vaccinated persons.
02:45:10.000So the same data that these guys are using has some information which I guess they want you to hear because it's advantageous and beneficial, and presumably also true.
02:45:19.000Perhaps both of these bits of information are true, which would mean that there is a place, according to this information, for those vaccines, but perhaps the case has been somewhat misrepresented.
02:45:29.000But these benefits are likely to be concentrated among vaccinees who are elderly or have chronic illnesses.
02:45:34.000It's less clear which groups are at risk for serious adverse vaccine reactions.
02:45:37.000Those at low risk for hospitalisation may still be at risk of serious vaccine reactions.
02:45:42.000We only consider mRNA vaccines and it's not clear that other Covid-19 vaccines confer the same risk.
02:45:48.000Regrettably, our analysis was hindered by an addressable problem.
02:45:51.000The individual level data that could confirm or refute our analysis has not been made public.
02:45:56.000Presumably because that information would make us so excited we all might run into the streets vaccinating ourselves in an irresponsible way.
02:46:03.000For example, We would have greater confidence in our conclusions if we knew how often individuals experience multiple serious adverse events.
02:46:10.000Pfizer, Moderna and the FDA have these data but have kept them hidden from public view.
02:46:14.000That data was a surprise for your birthday and you've spoiled it!
02:46:59.000Let me know if you hear anything here that sounds like a conspiracy theory or something.
02:47:02.000Like, when you hear something, tell me, tell me, put it in the comments.
02:47:05.000That bit, that was a conspiracy theory.
02:47:07.000At the moment, I'm just reading this thinking, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:47:09.000Except when I allow this thought to enter my mind.
02:47:12.000What is best for those organisations if the intention is power, control and profit?
02:47:17.000When I think that, everything makes sense again.
02:47:18.000Yet evidence is being withheld which adds uncertainty to our conclusions and leaves lingering questions about the scientific foundation for Covid-19 vaccine promotion.
02:47:27.000Public posting of raw data is a reasonable response.
02:47:29.000Open data is becoming the norm in science and is now required by many leading journals.
02:47:34.000The time has come for the FDA and EMA to reopen their investigations and for Pfizer, Moderna and all vaccine manufacturers to provide the data that will allow scientists and physicians to address outstanding concerns.
02:47:50.000I've seen some of ISIS's videos, have you?
02:47:52.000And they made me sick because of the lack of humanity, the barbarianism.
02:47:56.000But this, for example, statements like there is no legitimate reason why scientists and the public should not have access to the evidence that justified the purchase.
02:48:49.000They're probably an objective, agenda-free organisation with no concerns in the world other than helping us put your bloody conspiratorial mind at rest.
02:48:58.000The Gates Foundation, yeah, I've heard of them.
02:49:29.000For an intergovernmental organisation such as the WHO to be so reliant on private philanthropy, especially one whose leaders have personal interests and investments in healthcare, is problematic.
02:49:38.000For one, it gives a non-government actor an outsized influence on the development and health priorities carried on by the international organisation.
02:49:45.000Oh right, yeah, so this guy's never been elected by anybody.
02:49:48.000His wealth has now been accrued and is now invested in a highly influential body and is called philanthropy.
02:49:54.000There's no way that that influence could lead to further opportunity for profit and power, is there?
02:50:01.000While private foundations can be very generous, they can also be even faster than governments to change their mind about donations, or more dogged in demanding that their funding is used for specific priorities over others.
02:50:11.000Private foundations' resources tend to be more dependent on the stock market and other investments that could have financial interests that run contrary to their state admissions.
02:50:51.000If a private foundation were to become the WHO's highest donor,
02:50:54.000it would be transformational, said Lawrence Gostin, Faculty Director for the O'Neill Institute
02:50:58.000at Georgetown University and Director of WHO's Collaborating Centre on National and Global Health Law.
02:51:03.000When WHO was formed as an intergovernmental organisation, it would have been unimaginable that a private foundation could have such influence, he continued.
02:51:10.000Well, imagine harder then, because it's happening, baby.
02:51:13.000It would enable a single rich philanthropist to set the global health agenda.
02:51:17.000Gostin said, referring to Bill Gates, co-chair of the foundation.
02:51:21.000Gates himself was slammed by some global health experts last year when he defended stringent intellectual property rights as the best way to speed innovation and move some sort of prioritising profits over vaccinations.
02:51:31.000So, what you could say is if Bill Gates believes so strongly in this vaccination programme that he's willing to significantly invest in the WHO, which might give him some influence over the WHO's policies which affect what things are allowed to be said on YouTube, then similarly when it comes to other countries that haven't got the vaccines, which he believes in because Remember I've just explained to you all the investment in that.
02:51:49.000Then you would remove the patent so that they could make their own vaccines which you've already said you believe in because there's nothing to worry about there and it's not just because they're profitable or anything, it's because they're good for you.
02:51:58.000Oh, they're not willing to remove the patent.
02:52:00.000So he's explained in a variety of ways why that is but for me it just don't make sense.
02:52:47.000Let alone the strings of influence it had attached to the centres of power.
02:52:51.000You've introduced us to great journalists, great views, great perspectives.
02:52:54.000You've helped us balance anti-authoritarianism with rigorous journalism, so that we don't just lean into mindless conspiracy theories.
02:53:02.000We want to demonstrate that elite establishments are controlling the world, subverting and avoiding democratic process, and that it isn't beneficial to ordinary people.
02:53:12.000We don't just want to deluge you in empty rhetoric.
02:53:14.000We want to amuse you, arouse you, stimulate and empower you, so that we can create a revolution.
02:53:20.000The truth is, we can reorganize reality however we want to.
02:53:24.000That is why they're working so hard to control information.
02:53:28.000That is why they're introducing these new categories of misinformation, malinformation, disinformation.
02:53:33.000If they were right, what would they have to be afraid of?
02:53:35.000They would say, let the ideas win out in the marketplace of communication.
02:53:40.000But they're unable to do that, Gareth.
02:54:50.000I can't remember the name of that film.
02:54:52.000But anyway, it's like they do understand the nature of the accusations being levelled at them.
02:54:56.000And if you watch Idris Elba there, a person that I sort of respect and admire, it's like he's talking about a totally benign and, what do I want to say, sort of progressive But I just don't see how it can be that big pharma, big tech and the state can be the hero.
02:55:14.000I just don't see how that can be because I'm living in the world and I'm watching what's happening.
02:55:23.000I mean, we've got a little graphic just to kind of follow up one of the things we were talking about with Tim a few minutes ago around the kind of climate agenda.
02:55:31.000Again, it's something that, you know, we talk about with our audience and you talk about protection of the planet as being something that's important.
02:55:39.000But this is kind of a way in which the WEF and these kind of global elites use this kind of, these emotions that we feel about the planet and wanting to protect it.
02:55:49.000So here you've got Klaus talking about leaders.
02:55:53.000You are asking firms to replace any corporate board directors who is unwilling to transition to cleaner energy sources.
02:56:04.000So what they're suggesting that the WF have the power to replace corporate leaders.
02:56:08.000Now, what I would say, Gareth, if he's talking about organizations like Exxon Mobil and other traditional fossil fuel type organizations, I would have traditionally and conventionally seen them as part of the problem.
02:56:20.000And so I can see how someone like Idris Elba or Greta Thunberg or David Attenborough and people that love nature, like, you know, I'd include myself in that, think, well, look, there he is advocating for control.
02:56:30.000Well, you might say that, but one of the main sponsors or partners of the WF and Davos is Shell.
02:56:35.000So why would you accept Shell's money, Klaus?
02:56:40.000So, looking at this graphic here, we've just got Klaus saying we're aiming to ask firms to replace corporate directors, but then we know that just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions.
02:56:51.000At the same time, we know that the Dutch government are trying to shut down 3,000 farms over their emissions.
02:56:56.000Can I unpack each one of these a little bit?
02:56:58.000All of that 100 companies responsible for 71% of global emissions, one of the themes that's come up over our WF Royal Rumble special, which I think has been a great success.
02:57:05.000Judging from the comments in the chat, you lot are loving it as well, aren't you?
02:57:10.000We know that they'll only suggest solutions that impact us at the level of the individual, but do not intervene, intercede, or negatively affect the agenda of the powerful.
02:57:23.000This is an example of that, is it Gary?
02:57:24.000Garifullo, they're bringing in measures that won't affect corporations but will affect
02:57:31.000Well not only are these global emissions by these hundred companies, but these big fossil
02:57:34.000fuel companies like Shell that are making massive record profits at the moment get government
02:57:39.000subsidies, get tax breaks, get all sorts.
02:57:42.000And these are the kind of partners that they are.
02:57:43.000So they control the agenda and they control the conversation.
02:57:45.000If the WF was what it purports to be, why don't they go, what we're advocating for is ending government subsidy for these type of energy companies.
02:57:54.000We're not accepting their funding anymore.
02:58:17.000So at the same time, the Dutch government is trying to shut down 3,000 farms over emissions.
02:58:21.000Now, this is a story, again, like reported in The Guardian and all sorts of things.
02:58:25.000These farms that they're saying are contributing to emissions, which is in some cases true.
02:58:30.000And yet, But at the same time, we know that the vast majority of these emissions have been caused by the same companies that are sponsoring the WEF.
02:58:38.000These individual farmers in Holland or the Netherlands aren't sponsoring the WEF, so they're not going to get favourable legislation.
02:58:46.000So the agenda is what sets the solution, not the problem.
02:58:50.000Because, of course, if you can centralise agriculture, then you grant more power to these elites that are in advantageous positions already.
02:59:02.000It's a little bit like the previous example.
02:59:04.000If you know that 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions, that's where the change needs to take place, not the level of the individual.
02:59:11.000You're not going to be tagging and digital ID'ing CEOs of big corporations.
02:59:15.000It will be ordinary people who have their movements restricted.
02:59:18.000Essentially, what you have is an organisation that are able to construct regulation and legislation that won't meaningfully impact them.
02:59:59.000Well, you know, it's quite demonstrable that this land that was owned by independent farmers is being transferred.
03:00:05.000Because they're being bankrupt because of these new edicts which are presented as ecological solutions, but actually they are designed to bankrupt Those farmers.
03:00:16.000Sometimes I hear in spaces like this, and let me know in the chat in the comments if you agree, that sometimes you can, if you just look at the effects of a piece of legislation, then you can see what the desired effect was.
03:00:27.000For example, you might argue that if the pandemic meant that some of the most powerful interests in the world became more powerful, that corporations became richer, that it benefited big tech, it benefited big pharma, and it benefited governments because of their ability to regulate, particularly at a time When they feel like they're losing control because of the availability of information and the new ability to organize, suddenly a situation occurred that was beneficial across the board to all those organizations.
03:00:51.000That's not the same as saying that it's a plannedemic or they made it up or there's microchips in the vaccines.
03:00:56.000You know, I don't care what people say in the comments in the chat.
03:03:05.000Well, the reason I'm taller is I'm a little bit richer.
03:03:08.000Now, you said very plainly it would be unconscionable to make a profit from the pandemic, and yet Pfizer have returned their greatest ever profit.
03:03:15.000Presumably, you're going to be giving this profit to good causes in the field of medicine about which you care so much.
03:04:22.000Now, Michael, when we spoke to you last week, which is obviously a seismic event in my life and the trajectory of my ongoing and ambiguous sexuality, since then the Davos...
03:04:59.000I mean, so what's so interesting about this conference and about World Economic Forum in general is just that all the conspiracy theories about it are true.
03:05:07.000So when you first hear them, they say they there's all these stories that go these conspiracy theories.
03:05:13.000About the Great Reset, that they want you to eat insects rather than meat, or that they want you to, you know, own nothing, give up your privacy and be happy.
03:05:24.000Well, actually, no, they all came out of Davos and are on the World Economic Forum website.
03:05:30.000A lot of them have been deleted, we discovered.
03:05:32.000And I did a piece that's up today at our Substack newsletter called Public with Izzy Kaminska, who used to work at Financial Times and has been researching world economic form for almost 10 years.
03:05:44.000And in fact, met with Klaus Schwab in his lair in Switzerland.
03:06:27.000But I think that this is the beginning of the end.
03:06:30.000I think you might have killed the World Economic Forum, Russell, because they just you drag them into the light and Sunlight is the best disinfectant and I think World Economic Forum has suffered such a reputational hit over the last two years that it really is on a downward trajectory.
03:06:46.000Whilst I'd like to claim that victory simply for myself and wear laurels and march through Rome receiving the plaudits of the mob, And the plebs, I would have to say that we are an organisation that are legion, that are many, that these victories belong to us all.
03:07:02.000And it is actually only through the power of the populari, through true populism, through an informed population, through true democracy, through collective action, through the democratisation of community, that these centralising globalist forces can ever be exposed.
03:07:16.000Now, you seem to be portraying Klaus Schwab rather childishly, in my view, Michael Schellenberger, as a James Bond style villain.
03:07:24.000Which is a trick so low that we'd never stoop to it.
03:07:30.000But the WF, why would they be so transparent and willing to share their secrets and information about their own funding and investments if they had anything to hide?
03:07:41.000Is there anything around the lack of disclosure that you want to share with us, you mad conspiracy theorist?
03:07:47.000So, I mean, here's an organization that part of its main message from the World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab is that institutions need to be more transparent, particularly with their finances, that we need all the energy companies to open up the books, that really we need all this transparency.
03:08:03.000But when we asked for basic financial information for the World Economic Forum and the Klaus Schwab Foundation, They said they wouldn't give it to us.
03:08:12.000So we have basically almost no information about how they invest their resources.
03:08:18.000We know that the partnerships now cost up almost a million dollars up to a million dollars each just to and they made very clear that doesn't necessarily get you on stage.
03:08:29.000Which I'm assuming is something everybody would want for that money.
03:08:32.000But I think that, yeah, we basically don't know anything.
03:08:34.000And again, like I said, my co-author on this, who really deserves, I think, the disproportionate amount of credit, Izzy Kaminska, had been researching this organization for 10 years, and they basically won't say how their money is invested.
03:08:45.000We do know some of it is invested in minerals.
03:08:50.000And there's been a huge amount of controversy around the use of child labor to produce these minerals in Africa.
03:08:55.000There's an African minerals company on the W.F.
03:09:00.000is almost certainly invested in the various products that it's selling whether that's insect protein or electric vehicles or one of the many kind of proposals they have to move us to a sort of low energy lifestyle.
03:09:15.000It's pretty extraordinary that it seems, on a superficial analysis at least, that the best thing the WEF could do is simply stop.
03:09:24.000If they stopped, it would improve the world almost immediately.
03:09:28.000The idea we're told about in a lot of the kind of propaganda that we receive about the WDF is they just chose Switzerland by accident.
03:09:36.000It's just because it's nice and it's snowing and everyone can go skiing.
03:09:39.000But when you find out that Swiss authorities require minimal disclosure about anything financial, you kind of think, no, I think there might be another reason why they chose that.
03:09:49.000It's also, over the course of this, because we've been, you know, as a fellow investigative journalist, because we are resolute and rigorous in our examination of facts, I keep returning to the idea, is there anything wrong with it?
03:10:01.000And you see Idris Elba there and you think, no, I like Idris Elba.
03:10:05.000But actually, even just in the last 10 minutes when me and Gareth were talking about it,
03:10:10.000They're not going to say, Larry Fink, hey, if you really want to help people, why are
03:10:14.000BlackRock continually invested in the real estate and biasing the markets?
03:10:18.000They've got Albert Baller from Pfizer there.
03:10:20.000Why are they not saying, hey, what are you going to do with the profits that Pfizer made
03:10:23.000this year after you said it would be unconscionable for Pfizer to make any profit?
03:10:26.000Why, if they're saying that fossil fuels are so much of a problem, are they accepting funding from Shell?
03:10:31.000I mean, just everywhere you look there is hypocrisy and, you know, yet more hypocrisy exposed even in the course of this short but very sexy conversation.
03:10:40.000Yeah, I think that to some extent you're right when you say like it just loses its power when you point out that it's just kind of an advertising spectacle or at worst, I think, kind of investment scheme.
03:10:52.000I mean, one of the people that didn't want to use their name, but is somebody that had been very close with WEF and close with Schwab over a period of years, Um, said that he called it a bit of a Ponzi scheme where investors come in and they kind of get early in on something and then they go sell it to the pension fund holders of Ontario or Florida or whatever.
03:11:14.000And they then end up owning stocks that really lose a lot of their value and don't have a really good underlying basis to really exist.
03:11:22.000And so we've seen that in some case, you go insect protein.
03:11:26.000You know, it's kind of dumb, probably not companies that are going to succeed because it's just a disgusting product.
03:11:33.000But certainly other things like these conflict minerals, you know, like I mentioned last time we were together, the Chinese made solar panels, the production of these mines in places like Africa and Asia, where we were, you know, the one of the experts on I told Joe Rogan recently that basically 100% of the cobalt In Congo is produced in mines with kids in them.
03:12:00.000Usually politically most people think that's benevolent.
03:12:03.000But last year we went back from gas to coal because of this war on natural gas.
03:12:07.000And so Groups like WF kind of platform the idea that we don't need natural gas to power our world.
03:12:14.000Europe obviously shows that it does, and that if you're not burning natural gas then you're going to end up burning something much worse like coal, wood, or even plastic waste.
03:12:23.000Mate, you've made a lot of sense, as you did last time you were on our show.
03:12:26.000Now, over the weekend you were, I'm not going to say frantically tweeting, because I don't like to imagine you frantic under any circumstances, Michael, but there were further revelations around their Biden classified documents.
03:12:36.000Can you tell us a little more about how that story has evolved, please?
03:12:41.000Well, this is a very interesting case because obviously during the summer, and I was surrounded by progressives because I was on Martha's Vineyard off the East Coast, but progressives were very excited because they had found classified documents in Trump's property, Mar-a-Lago, in Florida.
03:12:59.000And people made a very big deal about how terrible this was.
03:13:02.000I had a number of people say, well, this is really going to bring Trump down.
03:13:05.000This is finally what's going to get him to go to prison.
03:13:07.000There was intimations that maybe he had broken espionage or treason laws.
03:13:12.000Well, now we see that Biden not only had top secret documents, he actually, he did not make them public, the fact that he had them until after the election.
03:13:21.000So we know they discovered them on November 2nd.
03:13:24.000They did not notify the appropriate agencies until early January, and they did not notify the Department of Justice until they were contacted.
03:13:32.000So there's a lot of efforts right now in the media to sort of say, Oh, they're totally different because Trump had many more documents or because Trump resisted giving them to the federal government.
03:13:43.000But on both of those cases, you have a similar problem, which is that first, we don't know how many classified documents Biden had.
03:14:03.000And there was this huge rush to judgment.
03:14:05.000I think that really betrayed a powerful, as we know, very powerful bias against Trump and for Biden.
03:14:12.000When we have two cases that look pretty similar, at least from what we know now, we can't tell that one person behaved less ethically or less legally than the other.
03:14:21.000The Bidens are very sensitive about releasing information close to elections.
03:14:29.000And this vanity of small differences and this outrage over differences that don't seem to be as important as we're being told by partisan interests appears to be a theme that's becoming easier to discern in our time.
03:15:25.000This is the end of our WF Royal Rumble and what a climax it was.
03:15:29.000They have a summit but we have arrived at a summit at an apex at a zenith and while they were at the mountaintops of exclusivity we here in the Olympia of popularity have realised that when people come together
03:15:42.000and collectivise and democratise, we can bring down these titans, these mighty Goliaths of
03:15:48.000corporate and state interest, simply by, I think a couple of our guests said, shining the
03:15:53.000light of truth on the sow's teats of Klaus Schwab's injurious flanks.
03:16:00.000There are the nipples that feed corporate and state interests and his many progeny of
03:16:05.000world leaders, from Rishi Sunak to Justin Trudeau.
03:16:09.000They can be brought down, I think, by ongoing conversation.
03:16:11.000There were points over the course of this marathon, Gal, where I was thinking, maybe the WF ain't that bad, but the bits that turned it for me most of all was when you said about why would you, if you really care about fossil fuels, why would you accept sponsorship from big fossil fuel companies?
03:16:28.000And if you did care about For example, inequality, why would you have Blackrock as a major partner and why would you invite Larry Fink there and then not have a conversation with Larry Fink?
03:16:37.000Because if Larry Fink came here, we would say, I'd be respectful because I bet he's charming, he's the CEO of a massive corporation, I'd go, Larry, mate, with this thing with the housing market, do you think... You'd probably call him Finky or something.
03:16:55.000And after that, why don't you tell us the truth?
03:16:58.000You did Pinky promise me, Finky promise?
03:16:59.000And like, you know, you've got to have conversations, or if you had got Albert Baller from Pfizer, you'd have to say, what about the profits?
03:17:05.000Do you think that that was ethical, particularly when you presented it as a philanthropic endeavor, a moonshot that was saving humankind?
03:17:11.000These questions aren't answered because the answers to these, these questions aren't asked, because the answers to those questions are revelatory about globalist interests.
03:17:19.000So, While WEF presents itself either as a cosy little corporate conference or, you know, in the darker corners of the internet, as a nefarious cartel of world leaders and corporate interests coming together to set an agenda, it seems that, you know, of the two, it's closer to the latter.
03:17:37.000And certainly our brilliant investigation today, I think, has leaned in that direction.
03:17:41.000I would absolutely agree and I think that where we started off by suggesting, as you say, that it was a kind of business conference that maybe not all that much bad stuff happens and that maybe they just all go around drinking hot chocolate together.
03:17:53.000Actually when you get into it and just talking about digital ID for a start, you start to see that this was mentioned then, now it's been implemented, the same The technology that was used in vaccine passports is now getting used into digital IDs.
03:18:06.000This is something that was being proposed and is now actually happening.
03:18:09.000And the ways in which that could negatively affect people's lives, this is just, this isn't like this will never affect you.
03:18:15.000It's once people, once governments can control the way you spend money or where you're able to go because of The digital passports that you've got.
03:18:23.000This is like real life effects that this is going to have.
03:18:28.000So it's kind of, and I think, who was it earlier on who was saying to us?
03:18:38.000And he was saying that they highlight the worst conspiracies to kind of, so that we focus on those.
03:18:45.000But actually the real ones are these things that are happening.
03:18:48.000You know, this stuff around farmers losing their farms or digital ID and digital currency actually starting to be implemented are the real things that are happening as a result.
03:18:58.000And no matter what the problem, the solution they suggest is always the same.
03:19:01.000Digital IDs, social credit scoring, more ability to regulate and control.
03:19:06.000So I believe that we've learned a great deal and it's only day one of the WEF conference.
03:19:46.000We've got daily podcasts, we've got a big interview every Friday that you can gain live access to.
03:19:50.000We've got some fantastic guests coming up this week.
03:19:53.000Alex Berenson's going to be with us, David Sirota from the left right there, Jay Shetty, Jeremy Corbyn, a person who knows how the deep state can influence the direction of elections and how the media can corroborate stories that prevent meaningful change taking place.
03:20:08.000Tony Robbins, a friend and mentor of mine, will be joining us.
03:20:12.000He doesn't call himself a guru, he's specifically got a documentary called I Am Not Your Guru, but he's certainly a person who teaches you how to utilise your inner power.
03:20:19.000And Martin Goury, author of this book that I'm reading right now, that gives you a good understanding of the framing around information currently and how the centralised authority has to control information now by condemning dissenters and creating new categories like malinformation, disinformation, all that stuff.
03:20:37.000Okay, so it's going to be a fantastic week.
03:20:38.000You've got to join us for this week because we have to educate ourselves.
03:20:45.000All of the values that they present to us are the values that we should have, but we're not going to get it from these corrupted, centralized interests.
03:20:51.000We're going to get it from one another.
03:20:53.000See you tomorrow, not for more of the same, but for more of the different.
