Late Stage Capitalism

A Jaunty little ditty I thought this place would enjoy...

I was called a conspiracy theorist for calling out that the owners of nature.com are part of the WEF and have predefined goals, not merely interest in science. So I looked up the most accurate information I could find on the WEF.

This article is from the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam and it gets grants mainly from the Dutch and other European governments. It is from 2016, but still very relevant. It is obvious to me that any member or partner of the WEF shares the same goals.

"It’s an all-too-easy event to mock. It’s hard to keep a straight face when the world’s rich arrive annually in their private jets to the luxury ski-resort of Davos to express their deep concern about growing poverty, inequality and climate change. "

"The founder of WEF Klaus Schwab says “the sovereign state has become obsolete (external link) ”. WEF has created 40 Global Agenda Councils (external link) and industry-sector bodies, with the belief these are the best groups of people to develop proposals and ultimately decisions related to a whole gamut of global issues from climate change to cybersecurity."

"University of Massachusetts professor Harris Gleckman, who has closely studied GRI (external link) , says that one of its central tenets is that opt-in, voluntaristic approaches are the best way for tackling social and environmental issues. So codes of conduct become the norm, and international binding standards and regulations are rejected (except of course when it concerns facilitating trade in commerce and finance in which case legally enforceable protections for corporations are very welcome). In other words, corporations are free to pick and choose what they act on and not bound by any enforceable legislation that could control their social and environmental impact."

If the people are only woken up at voting time and then return to hibernation afterward, if they only hear grandiose slogans during campaigns but have no voice once voting is over, and if they are pandered to when votes are being canvassed but left out in the cold once the tallies are complete, then they are not living in a true democracy."

Divide and conquer: an age-old tactic used by the ruling class to keep us divided while they profit off our exploitation. But we’re starting to see through their lies. Platforms like RedNote are showing Americans the truth and the cracks in the propaganda we’ve been fed. It’s time to reject division, organize, and stand together. Unity is our strength, and revolution starts with love and solidarity.

I can’t help but imagine the coming tunnel collapse, traffic disaster, or environmental catastrophe from this project being blamed by Boring Co on “state and federal regulators who didn’t do their job”. Because you know they will.

Also billionaires: We'll use foreigners to train the AI so we can pay next to nothing for our models.

It will be an interesting case study to watch Jim Justice during his term in the senate. How long until he’s wiped his billion dollar debts and becomes a millionaire again?
