In this episode of the John Henry Weston Show, Princess Gloria Fontanen-Taxis joins us to talk about her experiences with world leaders and what she thinks about them. Princess Gloria is a Catholic lay leader and has been involved with some of the most powerful people in the world for a long time. She has been a member of the Priory of St. Thomas Aquinas and served as a Catholic priest for many years. She is also a regular attendee at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
00:00:00.000Now, it's not very often that you get to speak with people who are not only knowledgeable about world leaders, but people who actually know them personally.
00:00:11.460We've got with us today Princess Gloria Fontanen-Taxis, someone who is involved with political and reigning leaders throughout the world.
00:00:21.460And we get to ask her about what's going on with the elites of the world.
00:00:25.700Stay tuned to this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:00:30.000Princess Gloria, thank you so much for being with us.
00:00:48.980Very nice to be with you. Thank you for having me come on the show.
00:00:53.660Let's begin as we always do with the sign of the cross.
00:00:55.440In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:01:01.880Gloria, you are friends with some of the people we read about and we're concerned with.
00:01:08.280I know you know, for instance, even Hillary Clinton and other world leaders.
00:01:12.680What's going through the minds of the world leaders today?
00:01:16.120They're all tending in a particular direction, not all, but a good majority are tending in a particular direction around the woke culture, around accepting all of this LGBT, ABC nonsense, the whole alphabet soup.
00:01:35.420And what is exactly on their minds, if you can share it with us?
00:01:38.120Well, of course, it's very difficult to say what is on people's minds.
00:01:43.420But, of course, we know that the prince of the world is very attractive.
00:01:50.760And you can just about say that very, very few of the people who help the prince of the world do it knowingly.
00:02:01.100Most of the people who do his job think they're doing something good for the world.
00:02:08.060They are either lacking of faith or they're lacking of faith education.
00:02:14.420They are just influenced by the media.
00:02:16.960They run like sheep behind the main current.
00:02:21.940We can really say that very few are really aware and do these things on purpose.
00:02:28.000Of course, we have been able to witness over the past years that the faith in general is under attack.
00:02:37.480Now, the Catholic faith is generally very much under attack, which shows us that what we believe is true.
00:02:46.480Because if it was not true, people wouldn't go through such trouble to get the secrecy of the mystical church finished.
00:02:59.460And unfortunately, we believe that a lot of our own clergy do not believe anymore.
00:03:07.280And therefore, we encounter the problems in the organization of the church today.
00:03:13.200So one of the things that has been really concerning for people is that we're watching a lot of these sovereign leaders, some of whom you know, willing to give up the sovereignty of their lands, of their people, to unelected leaders, both in NATO, the United Nations, but also now to the World Economic Forum.
00:03:35.280And these agreements that are being made and hashed out with the World Health Organization, how is this happening?
00:03:43.520What's the mindset there, if you can explain any of it?
00:03:46.040If you read the life of the saints, you learn very much about history and you come to the conclusion that it has always been the goal of the ruling class is to acquire more power.
00:03:58.920And therefore, we can see that all these measures that have been taken during the pandemic come in very handy for governments who seek to have more power over their subjects.
00:05:03.140Because the problem today is that many people are so content with what they have that they don't see the necessity to really fight for something because they're rather happy.
00:05:15.840They are kept happy with entertainment and I'm afraid to say sex and all these things that take away your vision and that take away that you get distracted.
00:05:32.000One of the most prominent leaders today that seems to be admired by many of the world leaders is Klaus Schwab.
00:05:46.700Can you tell us anything about why he is so enamored or so appealing to many of the world leaders?
00:05:54.720First of all, because what he started, the World Economic Forum, is a meeting place for the high and mighty of the economical world, political and economical world.
00:06:07.340And of course, also these people need connections, need to be very well connected.
00:06:13.820And of course, when they all meet together in Davos, it makes it easier for them to connect and to exchange their business cards, to shake their hands and to get to know each other.
00:06:25.400So in the first moment, it's a wonderful opportunity to meet each other, the powerful people in the world.
00:06:34.180And it's very expensive to take part in this forum because I think it costs the cheapest way in is 30,000 euros.
00:06:41.720So you don't even get to all the sessions.
00:06:45.160So it's a business model, a very, very good, well-organized business model for the high and mighty to meet because they have a lot of money power.
00:06:56.180So they would like to influence the politics and the politics, again, also is very happy to be sponsored by large companies.
00:07:08.140So there is an entwinglement of power and money.
00:07:14.520Now, again, I say we still have democratic laws.
00:07:19.260And I think it is our duty to raise awareness with our brothers and sisters that we have to say, don't be content and sit at home and do nothing.
00:07:32.720Fight for the things that are important to you.
00:07:35.600Me, for example, I fight against abortion.
00:08:17.160And so it's in our duty to raise awareness.
00:08:21.160It maybe has been happening for a long, long time, but we've seen it happen now more than ever before.
00:08:26.400And that is big corporations seem to have as much or more power than nation states themselves.
00:08:34.160So Google, for instance, has had such an influence, not only on people generally, they have built most of the world, you know, as their audience, but their power of manipulation of people is such.
00:08:48.880And see now through scientific, you can learn how they're doing what they're doing with their search algorithms.
00:08:53.960But it's incredible to be able to sway elections, even to the tune of 10%.
00:08:59.580So these things are major, major powers in the world.
00:09:04.220And as I said, in some ways, more powerful, sometimes than individual nation states.
00:09:09.700How do world leaders look at this and, you know, and deal with this kind of this kind of new phenomenon?
00:09:16.580I think it's a good thing that it is an entrepreneurial engagement or entrepreneurial success that has built up this power rather than a governmental power.
00:09:30.840Because if we think that Google is too powerful, we tend to scream for regulations.
00:09:35.960But the regulations come from the government again.
00:09:40.080So I prefer it to be really democratic so that the people, the majority of the people with their clicks decide what they want and what they don't want.
00:09:50.380It becomes dangerous when government and the entity like Google or Apple have a strong alliance and share data.
00:10:01.040That's something we would not like to happen.
00:10:03.480But again, I don't think we can only raise awareness.
00:10:07.620For example, parents should see that their children are not on the Internet all day long.
00:10:13.260We have to make sure that we don't get addicted to the Internet because the Internet is very addictive.
00:10:18.780I can see, for example, if I open my iPad, I very reluctantly take the book after that.
00:10:27.500I have to take the book first, read the chapters I want to read, and then take the iPad.
00:10:34.520Because once you've taken the iPad, there's something going on with your eyes, with your brains.
00:10:40.660You don't want to pick up the book afterwards.
00:10:45.520We have to train our kids to withstand the easiness of entertainment through the Internet.
00:10:53.380Yuval Noah Harari, who is one of the thinkers of the World Economic Forum, he was talking about useless people, about all those who will become obsolete because we have AI, artificial intelligence to do a lot of the things that might have been done before by human labor.
00:11:48.100Again, if I would be in a situation where I want more power, then, of course, I think a population that is content because they have drugs and they basically sit at home and watch television and do video games and they are content with them, with that, they are so easier to manipulate.
00:12:08.460That's a governmental concept where I say, how can I make myself the most easy following of people who basically will just do whatever the television tells them?
00:12:22.760But, of course, the world doesn't work like this.
00:12:25.520And I personally believe that a guy like Harari is the picture and the mirror of the intellectual status of the so-called elites today.
00:12:40.020Because from a scientific point of view, it is what we would call hochstapelei.
00:13:05.040I mean, already the snobbery of that and also the deep racism inside.
00:13:12.860It's not a racism for color of skin, but this is a racism like you are nothing and I'm back, fantastic and intelligent and you are stupid.
00:13:25.320So, no, we are not there yet and these people will disappear.
00:13:30.860I believe from, they are in fashion now, he says very well his books, but I don't take that seriously.
00:13:38.240There has been a move for decades now, perhaps even more than a century, to really cull the world's population, to bring down the world's population.
00:13:48.680Some people have called it to a manageable number.
00:13:50.940They're talking about half a billion, 500 million or so.
00:13:54.380Now, with nearly 9 billion people on the planet, that's going to take a lot of doing.
00:13:59.140But there are a bunch of what you might call elites in the world who are wanting to do whatever it takes to get there.
00:14:06.840This scientifically, since a long time obsolete, science knows that the world does not have too many inhabitants.
00:14:14.660These people are obsessed with this idea that we are too many people.
00:14:19.660They always claim that they are very much scientifically orientated.
00:14:24.960But when it really comes to science that is not a science that they want to acknowledge,
00:14:31.600then all of a sudden science doesn't play any role anymore.
00:14:34.680And therefore, because they are ideologues.
00:14:37.660In reality, they are not listening to science.
00:14:41.280Jack Ma, the very bright Chinese guy, and Elon Musk have already said seven years ago,
00:14:48.900you can see it on YouTube, that the future problem of the world is not too many people, but not enough people.
00:14:56.020And there is a great contradictory that is in the world, that we have an economical philosophy,
00:15:04.340and that comes from the Anglo-Saxon world, where they believe that in order to survive economically,
00:17:15.520And there you see that it is scientifically not coherent and that we are not dealing with serious people.
00:17:22.200We are dealing with people that have a horizon of maybe five years, but not more.
00:17:27.120Gloria, you are a person, while being on the world stage, are a woman of deep faith.
00:17:34.180You have spent so much of your time fighting for the church, for the good inside the church and working toward that end for Christ and for his church.
00:17:44.440What is the message that's on your heart to convey?
00:17:47.720We have to convert to serve God, the creator, because otherwise we are in a downward spiral.
00:17:57.300No government can succeed if their founding ideas are on killing babies and basically killing old people.
