WEF

Have a look at the fifth photo down in this Mail spread about the G20 summit.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/arti ... -tops.html

The dude on the right is Herr Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, the globalist group of billionaires who meet in Davos. Although the Mail doesn't name him.

The G20 summit is supposed to be a meeting of the leaders of 19 nations and the EU, but old Klaus seems to get where water can't.
Hopefully one day someone will do a spot of investigative journalism about the influence that billionaires have on political leaders.

They would be "encouraged" to go and report in Ukraine then there would be a "regrettable" accident.

Oddly this is the real crux for me. Elon Musk is richer than this guy. Elon builds Electric vehicles and battery power solutions and smart grids to use intermittent dispatchable power (Windmills and solar to some), so that it can play a bigger role in our clean energy infrastructure and to make energy cheaper for everyone.

Yet Elon is a monster we should all hate. He wouldn't allow these influence peddlers over his doorstep.

It is a really odd world!

We have always known that these meetings are about money... as COP27 just proved.

They are supposed to by setting in concrete the rise in temperature to 1.5 ºC, limiting the use of fossil fuels and controlling CO2 emissions, yet nothing of any order is ever agreed or done.

What the G20 agreed to do is to pay poorer countries for the damage already done, cue cheering and all-round back slapping. Unfortunately those poorer countries fell for the scam. No amount of money is going to lift the low-lying islands up by three metres or so to stop them being inundated, nor will it bring the rains down in Africa, lessen the effects of the monsoons and flooding in the Indian ocean and S.E. Asia, stop the Pacific super typhoons or the off-the-scale Atlantic hurricanes. These things will continue to happen, creating more damage that can never be repaired.

It is nothing more than feel good factor economics.
