Out-Of-Touch Davos Elites Insist Disinfo On ‘The Science’ No. 1 Global Threat
The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting is underway in Davos, Switzerland. Last year, disinformation stole the spotlight and was featured as a key problem for global elites to address.

This year, the WEF has upped the ante, releasing a report that lists “misinformation and disinformation” as the No. 1 short-term risk facing the world—beating out interstate armed conflict, climate change, and lack of economic opportunity. (Societal polarization that is closely linked to misinfo/disinfo, came in third.) [emphasis, links added]


One of the first events at this year’s meeting was a panel discussion, “Liberating Science,” which largely focused on disinformation as it relates to the climate change agenda.

A few short clips from the session went viral on social media; X users took particular note of comments made by two panelists—Naomi Oreskes, a historian of science at Harvard University, and Luciana Vaccaro, a Swiss scientist—who objected to the increased toxicity of the site since Elon Musk took over.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

By "elites" the article can't be referring to the 500 or so people who flew in there on private jets! :whistle:

The move to EVs does not mean you have an EV instead of ICE.  It means no private cars.

- Green Energy ➡️ No Energy ➡️ Rationing
- Not enough copper or rare earth elements to make all the batteries.

Klaus Schwab wants an Uber model, but only if your social credit score is high enough.

If Devious Davos Elites Get Their Way, Your Lifestyle Could Be Tracked, Taxed, And Criminalized
Davos has become a symbol of the eco-elite agenda, where plans threaten personal liberties, economic growth, and individual responsibility.

Imagine for a moment if every real-life Bond villain decided not to hatch his evil plans in a secret lair, but instead broadcast them to the entire globe. That will give you a small idea of the messages that came out of the Word Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The global elites want to upend life as you know it, and they are not even trying to hide it.

The annual meeting has become a platform for the glitterati to showcase their utopian visions. However, recent developments and proposals emerging from this gathering reveal a concerning pattern: the eco-elite’s plan to exercise unprecedented control over everyday life through taxation, regulation, and criminalization. It is crucial to recognize this trend and challenge the dangerous trajectory it sets for the future. Here is just a sample of the recent proposals pushed.

The Carbon Tracker Plan

In 2022, the president of Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce conglomerate, celebrated harnessing technology to measure carbon footprints, opening the floodgates for government intervention.

“We’re developing, through technology, an ability for consumers to measure their whole carbon footprint,” said J. Michael Evans, president of Alibaba Group USA.

History shows that whenever governments measure something, their next step is often to tax and regulate it extensively. This intrusive approach, disguised as environmental concern, is easily dismissed by working Americans, but it is just another day at Davos.

Global Climate Tax Hysteria

At the 2024 conference, which took place while most of America was gripped by an Arctic blast and frigid temperatures, attendees again called for a global carbon tax to fix so-called climate change.  ...
