More than 50 years ago, when a young bespectacled academic founded the European Management Symposium in Davos, Switzerland, no one could have predicted that it would become the world’s most elite country club.

As recently as last year, consensus WEF officials had predicted that Schwab would likely die in office, like a monarch or pope. In 2017, Mr. Schwab appointed former Norwegian foreign minister Borge Brende as chairman. Brende, who holds high-level positions at the United Nations, the Bilderberg Conference and other supranational globalist sidelines, is widely known as a conservative politician. resume betraying his Swabian priorities.

Despite Brende’s 2017 promotion, Schwab officially The remaining The organization is in complete command of the business. And it’s easy to understand why the archetypal “Davos man” wants to stay in power. Davos has been very profitable for the Schwab family — Kraus and his wife in particular have enriched themselves with millions and raked in tens of millions to donate to their private foundation.

But this week Schwab announced that he would step down as WEF chairman by January 2025 to take up a new role as chairman of the board of directors.
This may seem like a distinction that makes little difference, but it is. According to Article 11 of the WEF constitution, Mr. Schwab’s successor will be handpicked by Mr. Brende, who is widely expected to have been at the helm day-to-day for the past year. Governing law It states that the founder will nominate his successor.
But the more important transition is the one that the Forum itself is making “from a convening platform to a leading global institution for public-private cooperation.” Translation: Davos will be few Billionaires and bureaucrats fly in private jets to a special meeting in the Swiss Alps to voice concerns about climate change, more They help determine government policies that govern every aspect of our lives.

It means states can hide behind secrecy given to corporations to protect their intellectual property and proprietary deliverables.

The WEF has plans for all of the above and more.
The WEF’s role as the world’s leading institution for public-private partnerships has been clear since Schwab announced the Great Reset, and even before. But if you said the WEF wanted to control everything through collaboration with world governments, you would be called a conspiracy theorist. They stated Missionpreviously it was “improving the world situation.”
By announcing its transformation from an organization that “conducts meetings” to one that directly influences public (i.e. government) activities, the WEF will not only not disappear, but will strengthen its control over every aspect of our lives. This means that you have acknowledged that this is a plan.
