As of the end of Day Two of the five-day World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, the promotion of war, talk of green transition, and economic blather were thick.
On the war front, Ukrainian President Zelensky will address the group this week, likely by video, as he did before at a WEF event in 2022. His wife, Olena Zelenska, and Kiev Mayor Klytchko are on-site in person, to demand support. Many of the heads of state, bragged Klaus Schwab, WEF founder and leader, who would attend his event, come from the war-hawk line-up of Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and others.
On the green insanity, Al Gore (remember Al?) gave his usual green rap today. Greta Thunberg will speak. The first day, a globalist greenie world agriculture report was issued, titled, “Food, Nature and Health Transitions—National Models.” The 55-page document was jointly prepared by the WEF and Bain, the money management company, and presents ways to not change the collapsing Western financial system, ank Investment noted the critical role of Chinese growth. He said that the level of global debt load has shot up over the past 15 years, and said the debt crisis can roar back if the central banks’ rates continue to increase. According to him, what can “save everyone” for some time, but not solve the real Western problems, is China’s rapid economic growth, assuming it succeeds in its growth dynamic following the lifting of its anti-coronavirus restrictions. that is causing the economic breakdown of food production, and enforces hunger.
A star of Day Two was European Commission Chairman Ursula von der Leyen, who presented her points in her signature airhead-authoritarian speaking style. She accused Russia of weaponizing oil and gas — as if sanctions were decided by Moscow. She accused China of conducting “aggressive attempts“ to attract European industrial capacities—as if those capacities were not leaving the EU because of the high costs of energy produced by von der Leyen’s green transition.
