Nothing to See Here: "Schwab promotes the merging of state and corporate power at Asian Summit"

 The Exposé reports that Klaus Schwab was allowed to give a presentation at the 43rd Summit of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (“ASEAN”) in Indonesia this past week. The article notes that "The ASEAN Summit, which is held biannually, is the highest policy-making body in ASEAN comprising the Heads of States or Government of ASEAN Member States.  It should raise eyebrows then that Klaus Schwab, who does not represent any country let alone a country in Southeast Asia, made an appearance at the latest Summit held in Indonesia." Also, per the article:

    Speaking at the ASEAN Summit on Tuesday, Schwab said that with the fusion of corporation and state, what he calls “public-private cooperation,” we would see a shift from “the era of capitalism to the era of talentism,” where innovation becomes the “key competitive factor.”  He had already explained that in merging the corporations and state, “governments still provide direction but business provides the innovative power.”

    Schwab was littering the stage at the 2022 ASEAN Summit as well. As with this year, questions were raised then as to why an unelected leader of the World Economic Forum, a non-governmental organisation, is present among democratically elected officials.

The Nazis termed this type of coordination "Gleichschaltung" which has been described as "a system of totalitarian control and coordination over all aspects of German society and societies occupied by Nazi Germany 'from the economy and trade associations to the media, culture and education'."

    We see the same in full swing in the United States; e.g.:

• "Appeals court slaps Biden administration for contact with social media companies"--NPR. 

The panel of judges, all GOP nominees, say that the administration's efforts to flag what it considered to be false and harmful content about COVID, the 2020 election and other topics that violated the social media companies' policies likely amount to a violation of the First Amendment. The court found that Biden Administration officials coerced and threatened the social media companies to take down content.

• "Biden Administration Likely Violated First Amendment with Social-Media Censorship, Appeals Court Rules"--National Review.

    A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Biden administration likely violated the First Amendment by pressuring social-media platforms to censor posts about Covid-19 and elections.

    The Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruling says that the White House likely “coerced the platforms to make their moderation decisions by way of intimidating messages and threats of adverse consequences.” The panel of three judges found that the administration “significantly encouraged the platforms’ decisions by commandeering their decision-making processes, both in violation of the First Amendment.”

• "Wikipedia Co-Founder Larry Sanger Says Site Hijacked by Intelligence Agencies for ‘Information Warfare’"--Breitbart.

    Sanger added that “the deeper deeper explanation” to all of this is that “the left very, very deliberately seeks out to take control.”

    “It’s the establishment, and they have their own agenda,” he said. “It’s clear that between 2005 and 2015, [Wikipedia] was on their radar, Wikipedia moved on to the establishment’s radar, and of course, we do have evidence that CIA — and the FBI computers were used to edit Wikipedia.”

    “Do you think they stopped doing that back then? No,” Sanger added.

    The Wikipedia co-founder went on to say that it’s “not just them, we know that intelligence now, a great part of intelligence — information warfare is conducted online, and where, if not on websites like Wikipedia?”

    “They pay off the most influential people to push their agendas — which they’re already mostly in line with — or they just develop their own talent within the community, learn the Wikipedia game, and then push what they want to say with their own people,” Sanger concluded.

• "Cochrane Review the latest scientific institution ruined by COVID ideology"--Hot Air. The article notes that the Cochrane Review "is widely held as a gold standard for medical information, and its findings are based upon meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials done by researchers across the world. These reviews do not rely on one study but on tens or hundreds using different methods in different places, with the goal of sorting out the signal from the noise that will always be found in any particular study." So it was surprising to some that when the journal released a study showing that Covid masking was useless, "the world seemed to explode. To have Cochrane Review debunk the mask narrative was unacceptable, and like a ton of bricks, the criticism poured in."

    The editor apparently panicked. A quick addendum was attached to the analysis suggesting that it was not dispositive–and that addendum has been used ever since to claim that the review was flawed or even retracted. That is not and never was the case, and it is clear that the editor simply buckled to criticism.

    Paul Thacker has done a deep dive into what happened and why, and the story is dispiriting. A study that was based upon extensive analysis, peer-reviewed, and based on the best evidence available was undermined by an editor with no relevant experience in a matter of hours, for the simple reason that she was scared by criticism from news organizations such as the New York Times.

• "More than HALF of CDC staff leave to work for Big Pharma and 'revolving door' of workers at public agency makes it vulnerable to corruption, report warns"--Daily Mail. 

    More than half of Centers for Disease Control (CDC) staff go on to work for big pharma, a first-of-its-kind report has found.

    The analysis found that, between 2004 and 2020, 54 percent of workers who left the agency for another job moved into the private health sector.

    At the same time, a significant number of new staff hired by government health agencies come directly from private drug firms.

    Researchers from the University of Southern California and Harvard University who published the report said this 'revolving door' between federal workers and private healthcare companies has made government agencies vulnerable to corruption.

• "Judges in California may have to consider a parent's affirmation of their child's identity in custody cases"--KCRA. The article reports that "California lawmakers on Friday passed a proposed law that would require judges in the state to consider a parent's acceptance or affirmation of their child's gender identity when weighing child custody disputes."
• "Los Angeles Schools Host LGBT ‘Rainbow Club’ for Kids as Young as 5"--Breitbart.

    “Rainbow Clubs are inclusive spaces for elementary students to explore LGBTQ+ related topics,” the Los Angeles Unified School District explains in the description of its so-called “Rainbow Club.”

    Elsewhere in the description, Los Angeles Unified School District explains that the Rainbow Club “is a space for celebrating many types of identities, including Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Nonbinary, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Ace and Two Spirit identities!”

• "Oklahoma City School District Hires Drag Queen Elementary School Principal Once Arrested For Possessing Child Porn and Illicit Drugs"--American Greatness. 
• "Drag Queen Arrested On Child Porn Charges Hires Fellow Performer As Kindergarten Classroom Assistant"--Daily Caller.
• "Fencing competitor says trans athletes in female events 'unfair, short-sighted' - as incoming national board executive says he's OK with natural-born women being at a disadvantage"--Daily Mail.

As the examples above show, there are different levels of cooperation: from the direct contacts and influence of the agencies like the FBI and CIA placing employees with social media companies and telling these companies to what they need to censor, to indirect censorship as apparently happened with Wikipedia where intelligence agencies simply took advantage of the system to make edits, to soft influence of someone like Schwab (or other persons or organizations) meeting and saying "we all need to do this" and then attendees going off to work on their own to advance the goals at the meeting. This is where we see the pervasiveness of LGBTQ in everything from laws being passed by state legislatures, curriculum and "clubs" at local levels, to who is hired. 

    I recently finished the book End Time: Elites, Counter-Elites And The Path Of Political Disintegration by Peter Turchin. Turchin notes in there that business leaders in the late 19th Century were cognizant of how allowing mass immigration drove down worker's wages and, thus, enriched big businesses. Their influence at the time drove immigration policy and it was only in the face of growing (armed) resistance that government changed its tune in the 1920s. Do you think that when the Chamber of Commerce or other business groups lobby Congress to keep the borders open or increase the number of work visas that they are ignorant of the impact on wages? Of course not. Businesses know that they benefit from illegal immigration driving down wages. That is why there is a unified response in Congress--a constant refrain--that immigration must increase. 

    There may be some sop from Republicans about controlling illegal immigration (although they ultimately fail to actually vote for the funding for border walls or to increase penalties for illegals or employers hiring illegals) but nothing changes. And, as I've noted before, even those Republicans supposedly against illegal immigration support increasing legal immigration, including those that would allow more white collar workers into the country.

    And it is not just allowing them in, but also giving them rights. For example, when the Idaho legislature was considering allowing illegals to obtain driver's licenses, the major support came from farmers and agricultural organizations. The excuse for granting driver's licenses to illegals is generally similar to that related by Minnesota: to "increase safety across Minnesota by ensuring that all drivers are licensed, insured, and have taken driver’s education courses". But if illegals weren't deterred before from driving without a license, why should this bill--which will require them to spend time and money to take driving courses and driving tests, get insurance, etc.--encourage them to get a license? The real motive behind this is two-fold. For the Democrats, the hope is that illegals will get drivers licenses which will allow them to more easily vote in elections; and for Republicans, the hope is that they will get drivers licenses to drive down the wages of those who drive for a living, everything from local delivery drivers to long haul truckers. 

    Finally, you should consider what else these illegals could do. John Farnam, a name that should be familiar to those who study defensive shooting, warns in his article "Brownshirts Rising!" that the flood of military age young men flowing across our southern border could form the nucleus of a paramilitary force to control and terrorize the population. He reminds us that in 2008, Obama discussed forming a “Civilian National Security Force,” stating: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a Civilian National Security Force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Although Obama's idea didn't gain (official) traction at the time, Farnam warns:

    Millions of illegal immigrants are flooding, unhindered, into the United States, and have been since BHO took office. A significant percentage are healthy, military-age males, and many of these come from far-flung places, not just Mexico, Central, nor South America.

 

    Of course none can be legally employed, so most migrate to metro areas and are quickly integrated into the criminal sub-culture.

 

    IL’s Democrat governor has recently signed a bill making it possible for non-citizen, illegal immigrants to be sworn-in as police officers, who will have full police powers, will carry guns, and will arrest legal American citizens . Other Democrat governors will doubtless follow, maybe even a few “Republicans.”

 

How long will we have to wait before we see all these military-age, non-citizen, illegal immigrants (who don’t even speak English) newly decked-out in brown shirts, armed, marching in formation, and displaying Nazi armbands (or the equivalent symbology)?
