Elites, Europe, Davos, and World Government?

[Shockm]

The World's wealthiest, and Government Elites had their annual conference at Davos Switzerland during the past week. They have goals to work together to solve problems for the World. Where do you think that Biden got his idea to pay the poorest governments not to develop into richer, and more independent countries, because according to Biden, they would harm the world and cause more global warming.

Greta Thunberg was a speaker this year.

Here is their agenda.

Are they all deciding how much of their own wealth they are going to pony up to improve the world?

Are they all deciding how much of their own wealth they are going to pony up to improve the world?

No. I think that the goals of the Elites are to implement government (mostly), and individual strategies that will ensure that the proletariat is just happy and secure enough that they won't try to revolt against the current power and wealth structures throughout the world so that their homes (behind walls and gates), and way of life continue to be safe, and profitable. Freedoms be damned. After all, Bill Gates and his friends know best.

Anybody see John Kerry's holier than thou rant yesterday about how they are the select few who are going to save the planet? I wonder how he got to Davos, Switzerland for the summit. Surely he took a boat and not a plane right? Surely he is being carted around by horse and buggy and not a vehicle while there? I am sure of it. I am assuming his multitude of homes do not have any electricity or gas as well.

"When you start to think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we — select group of human beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives — are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet," Kerry remarked. "I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about ‘saving the planet.’"

"If you say that to most people, most people think you're just a crazy tree-hugging, lefty, liberal, you know, do-gooder or whatever and there's no relationship," he added. "But really, that's where we are."

Kerry characterized efforts to combat climate change and save the planet as "almost extraterrestrial" given their scope in his remarks earlier Tuesday. He also downplayed criticism that has been levied against such climate activism, noting that "most people" believe he and the other WEF participants are just "crazy" tree huggers.

Here was an interesting, and telling, quote from that article regarding the wealthy elites, and their attitudes toward those who have less.

However, such negotiations and policies have been criticized for their potential impact on both wealthy and poor nations.

"We're telling developing nations that we don't want them to go through the process of developing, we don't want them to have coal or natural gas or even nuclear. We want them to use wind and solar which is intermittent, which is ineffective, which is incredibly cost-prohibitive," Daniel Turner, the executive director of Power The Future, previously told Fox News Digital.

"It's the epitome of privilege," he continued. "There is no greater white privilege than being a climate change activist. It is the privilege of rich and elite folks — you could even throw in the word godless if you wanted — who need to feel like they care about something in this world. So, they cling to the climate change cult, but they're unaffected by the consequences of it."

We want nothing to do with a world government! Like the UN, they will work to diminish the power of the US and it's dollar value.
The US is much better off governing itself without those jokers input.

Who is the “WE” you speak of? Yourself maybe? You certainly aren’t talking about the Biden Administration. Blinken (Sec. of State), and Jake Sullivan (National Security Counsel Chair) were there collaborating with France, China, Iran and other elite world leaders. That sounds like a recipe for disaster, if I’ve ever heard one. Iran and China have only eaten President Biden’s lunch each time he’s tried to negotiate with them. They end up with billions of dollars for nuclear weapons, and the ability to bully neighbors in the China Sea/Pacific Ocean regions of the world.

Why so offended by my post? You seem a bit touchy.
But In reply to yours, I'm definitely talking about me and most conservatives. Leftists favor world governments and organizations. I couldn't care less what the current administration wants, they fail at every juncture.

I’m not offended at all. You and I are in agreement. I was just emphasizing that there are a lot of supporters of world government. They are so delusional that they think that they can develop alliances with dictatorships such as China, Iran, etc. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there are at least a few establishment conservatives who would support some of these ideas. Biden, Gore, and Clinton used to all be called moderate, conservative Democrats. They are now closer to Bernie Sanders and many billionaires are too who care more about money and power than the country.

Canada's Parliament Hit With Allegations of Treason

Canada's Parliament has been hit with allegations of, yes, treason, and Prime Minister Justin "Castro" Trudeau is looking distinctly uncomfortable about the whole thing - while the Canadian Conservatives' Pierre Poilievre is hammering the PM over the affair.

The new report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP) is the first to suggest that lawmakers in Canada’s parliament may have helped foreign actors meddle in political campaigns and leadership races. Heightened anxiety in Ottawa about foreign interference comes in the middle of historic global elections where factors such as artificial intelligence and emboldened foreign powers are testing the resilience of democratic systems.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been on the defensive since the allegations broke Monday. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is calling on the government to name names.

“The national security committee indicates there are members of this House that have knowingly worked for foreign hostile governments,” Poilievre said Wednesday. “Canadians have a right to know who and what is the information — who are they?”

The all-party NSICOP said Monday that it has reviewed intelligence that suggests “semi-witting or witting” parliamentarians have worked with foreign missions to mobilize voters during a political campaign; have taken cash “knowingly or through willful blindness” from foreign missions or their proxies; and have shared privileged information with foreign diplomatic officials.

The committee with top-security clearance said it based its findings on more than 4,000 documents and some 1,000 pieces of evidence. Its report said China remains the largest foreign interference threat to Canada with India the second.

"Treason" may be a bit of a stretch here. Treason is normally defined as:

The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance.
