World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab retires as chairman
Updated 11:31 AM EDT, April 21, 2025

GENEVA (AP) — Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, best known for hosting an annual meeting of political, business and other elites in the Swiss Alpine town of Davos, is retiring as chairman more than a half-century after creating the Geneva-based think tank, the forum said Monday.

The forum quoted Schwab, 87, in a statement as saying he was stepping down “with immediate effect.”

Former Nestle Chairman and CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe was unanimously selected as interim chairman by the forum’s board at a special meeting on Sunday, the statement said. A search committee has been set up to choose a permanent successor.

The forum’s annual gathering in Davos has for decades served as a global hub where decision-makers, academics, leaders of international organizations, and elite business executives rub shoulders to discuss government policy, global crises and deal-making. ...

You know how former WEF Chair Klaus Schwab looked cartoonishly evil? Well somehow they found a guy even more cartoonishly evil to replace him.  Introducing, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe.

Everyone cheering Klaus Schwab’s exit from the @wef should be careful what they wish for.
His replacement is none other than Peter Brabeck-Letmathe — ex-Nestlé CEO, supporter of the 4th Industrial Revolution, food supply poisoner, and the guy who said water isn’t a human right.

World Economic Forum Opens New Probe Into Founder Klaus Schwab
Story by Shalini Ramachandran, Jenny Strasburg, AnnaMaria Andriotis
Wall St. Journal via MSN
April 22, 2025

World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab is under investigation by the organization he created after a new whistleblower letter alleged financial and ethical misconduct by the longtime leader and his wife.

The anonymous letter was sent last week to the Forum’s board and raised concerns about the Forum’s governance and workplace culture, including allegations that the Schwab family mixed their personal affairs with the Forum’s resources without proper oversight, according to the letter and people familiar with the matter.

It included allegations that Klaus Schwab asked junior employees to withdraw thousands of dollars from ATMs on his behalf and used Forum funds to pay for private, in-room massages at hotels. It also alleged that his wife Hilde, a former Forum employee, scheduled “token” Forum-funded meetings in order to justify luxury holiday travel at the organization’s expense. ...

‘Financial and Ethical Misconduct’ Allegations Against Davos Founder Klaus Schwab Made Public

Simon Kent 25 Apr 2025

Manipulating research, using company funds to pay for private, in-room massages, asking junior staff to withdraw thousands of dollars for personal use, demanding senior management deliver a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

These are just some of the lurid allegations that pushed the World Economic Forum (WEF) to launch an investigation into its now departed founder, Klaus Schwab, after anonymous whistleblowers aired their concerns about the German octogenarian.

The assertions – reportedly sent last week in a letter to the WEF, which organises the annual elite gathering of globalist devotees at Davos in Switzerland – accuse Schwab and his wife, Hilde, of financial and ethical misconduct, which the family has vehemently denied even as he resigned as the WEF chairman, as Breitbart News reported

But did he go to Epstein's island? (Likely has his own little 'get away'...)
