World Economic Forum

Klaus Schwab has decided it’s time to go. The 86-year-old Swiss-born entrepreneur is stepping down as the executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), the elite social networking group he founded in 1971.

For over 50 years, Schwab has overseen the rise of a formidable business empire, worth £345 million in 2022/23, the most recent year for which we have annual accounts. The group includes the convention itself, which takes over Davos every January, and sister organisations such as Global Shapers, Young Global Leaders and Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneurs, the latter boasting “over 500 city based hubs”.  As well as a networking event, WEF is both a think tank and a sprawling network of ersatz NGOs.

Klaus Schwab, founder and long-time executive chairman of the World Economic Forum (WEF), emailed staff on Tuesday to announce his intent to step down. The email indicated that Schwab, who has led the organization since 1971, will move to a non-executive chairman role. The transition is awaiting approval from the Swiss government and is anticipated to be completed before the WEF’s annual meeting in 2025.

The bulk of reports percolating out of the WEF’s annual meeting have been scornful, revealing a proposed programme of enlightened elite global governance that is not going as planned. Geopolitics is back with a vengeance; the “energy transition” has turned out, so far, mostly to mean unilateral economic disarmament in favour of Russia and China. Populations are growing angry in the face of sharp rises in both mass migration and the cost of living.

A wise old friend once said to me that if Christianity died out, what would come next would not be atheism but polytheism.

That is, instead of worshipping one God, people would start worshipping a whole range of gods.

I thought of that yesterday while watching a Brazilian shaman called Putanny Yawanawa performing a native spiritual ceremony onstage at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The federal government is encouraging Canadian businesses to participate in a World Economic Forum (WEF) initiative that will use their buying power to drive decarbonization across seven industries globally, record shows.

Endorsement of the First Movers Coalition (FMC), which the federal Liberals joined as government partner in January, is contained in a document tabled in Parliament on Dec. 11 in response to questions posed by Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis in October.

Ms. Lewis asked what obligations and actions Ottawa has undertaken to fulfill its commitments as a partner of the FMC.

Klaus Schwab took $6,000 in seed money in 1971 and transformed the World Economic Forum (WEF) from a humble gathering of academics into the most exclusive club in the world. The WEF now rakes in $390 million, annually.

Controligarchs: Exposing the Billionaire Class, Their Secret Deals, and the Globalist Plot to Dominate Your Life follows the money beyond the politicians—and their petty squabbles in Washington—straight to top: Davos. It is in this tiny Alpine town that the jet-setting billionaires and shadowy bureaucrats are plotting out the next decade of our lives.

What is ultimately behind so many of the (manufactured) ills currently plaguing the West, from leftist lunacy and gender insanity to unnecessary lockdowns and wars?

Even comfortably ensconced in his technocratic ivory tower, World Economic Forum chieftain Klaus Schwab is apparently not impervious to the bottom-up pushback against his various social engineering schemes in the service of creating a one-world government.
