The Great Reset: WEF and globalist agenda, hosts world leaders at Davos 2023

This year’s World Economic Forum’s (“WEF”) annual meeting at Davos is being held from 10 to 16 January. As the Globalists meet, organisers have confirmed the WEF will host 52 heads of state and government and nearly 600 CEOs.

Additionally, nearly 300 government ministers are expected to take part. As well as the heads of state, these government ministers also need to be sacked, stripped of their titles and replaced with people who will serve their country’s citizens.

Citizens who pay their salaries and elect them – assuming a free, fair, transparent and democratic voting system is in use – to govern the country’s affairs on voters’ behalf.

Attached at the end of this article is a list of the heads of state and government officials who are misusing and abusing their government positions to collaborate with WEF to further Globalists’ business and other interests. All of them should be relieved of their duties pending an investigation.

WEF is a dangerous force in global politics. WEF is an outfit that proposes to coordinate the reorganisation of 8 billion souls, 195 countries, international relations, social policy writ-large, and a $104 trillion global economy. They are delusional and megalomaniacal.

As noted by The Spectator, [1] WEF’s Chairman Klaus Schwab’s core commitment is to political and economic arrangements which, he calls stakeholder capitalism but, used to be known as corporatism. The language of corporatism, like that of Schwab’s WEF, may be one of coordinated consultation, but the agenda is one of control. WEF has decided that the time has come to rearrange the world from the top down and remake the planet in a corporatist image.

Corporatism – including its Schwabian expression – isn’t big on freedom. It’s all about forming and then maintaining a consensus on economic and social policies. For this reason, corporatism doesn’t cope well with dissent. Indeed, it discourages any questioning of the consensus, whether the issue is tax-rates or climate change. For what matters is the harmonisation of views, no matter how absurd the idea and or how high the cost in liberty. Not only does this generate groupthink. It encourages the marginalisation of those who dispute the consensus. Another problem is the collusion and cronyism fostered by corporatism.

Corporatist-style stakeholder capitalism is decidedly ambivalent about democracy. There’s not much room for contributions from the wider populace to the decision-making process in Schwab’s stakeholder capitalist model, let alone popular assent to decisions taken. Indeed, the model reflects a positive distrust of bottom-up initiatives because these are harder to control and less likely to buy into the established consensus.

Luxury group LVMH’s billionaire owner Bernard Arnault, has appointed his daughter Delphine as the new head of Christian Dior, it was announced Wednesday.

The 47-year-old will serve as chair and CEO of the French label from February following a major shakeup at the conglomerate behind brands including Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Givenchy and Tiffany & Co.

Arnault, whose father became the world’s richest man last month, will move from Louis Vuitton, where she joined as executive vice president in 2013. She previously spent over a decade at Dior and has been closely involved in LVMH’s Prize for Young Fashion Designers.

In a press statement, Bernard Arnault described his daughter’s career at the company as “defined by excellence.”

“Under her leadership, the desirability of Louis Vuitton products advanced significantly, enabling the brand to regularly set new sales records,” he is quoted as saying. “Her keen insights and incomparable experience will be decisive assets in driving the ongoing development of Christian Dior.”

Wednesday’s announcement follows a slew of recent changes unveiled by LVMH including a new role for Arnault’s second child, Antoine, who is stepping up to replace long-serving executive Sidney Toledano as CEO of the holding company through which the family owns its controlling stake in LVMH.

It was also announced that Dior’s outgoing boss Pietro Beccari will take over at Louis Vuitton, whose current CEO, Michael Burke, will remain in Arnault’s luxury empire in an undisclosed capacity. The conglomerate’s share price rose following news of the reshuffle.

Brazil’s Minister of Culture, Margareth Menezes, has revealed that her government wishes to create a memorial using artwork from Brasilia’s Planalto Palace that was damaged during Sunday’s riots by far-right protesters.

Speaking in Brasilia, Menezes said she hoped the damaged works could form a “memorial about this violence we suffered so that it never happens again.” She also said the total cost of damage and repairs needed at the palace would be revealed on Thursday.

“This is an artistic treasure of the Brazilian people, that belongs to the nation and whose integrity needs to be respected,” she said. “So it is a very disrespectful and profound violence, and this memorial is for us to mark that, so that more violence of this level can never happen again – or threaten our untouchable democracy.”

Several pieces of art, including a painting worth around €1.4m and a 17th-century clock, were destroyed when thousands of supporters of former leader Jair Bolsonaro swarmed Brazil’s presidential palace.

Brazil’s scientific police have spent a day at the country’s Supreme Court and at some of the other buildings that were stormed by protesters over the weekend.

Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ Retitled In Some Countries

Now that “Spare” is officially out, it seems the title of Prince Harry’s memoir has been translated slightly differently in some parts of the world – and each new phrase is punchier than the last.

The memoir, officially published on Tuesday, January 10, has made front page news around the world over the last week.

Not only did it come with a set of trans-Atlantic promotional interviews from Harry himself, and contain wall-to-wall royal bombshells, but it was leaked days before its intended launch over in Spain, adding yet another layer of intrigue.

No wonder it has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever, according to its publishers.

But, where “Spare” has global appeal, it seems its very title is being translated into slightly different words each time. Here’s just a few variations out of the 16 translations available worldwide, translated back into English;

Brazil: “What’s Left Over.”

Spain: “In The Shadow.”

France: “The Substitute.”

The Netherlands, Romania, Hungary and Germany: “Reserve.”

Finland: “Deputy.”

Sweden: “The Second.”

Poland: “The Other One.”

Italy: “The Minor.”

By calling his tell-all memoir “Spare,” Harry is referencing his role as the second son – where his brother Prince William was always meant to be the “heir” to the throne, Harry would always be the backup option. “Heir and the spare” is a well-known British phrase.

As he claims in the book, the duke’s father ― then-Prince Charles ― joked to his then-wife Princess Diana that he finally had an “heir and a spare” upon Harry’s birth – so his job was “done.”
