WSJ Editor to Davos: “We No Longer Own the News”
Information and discourse are no longer monopolized by traditional media entities. Decentralized media is the future and the present.

By ,

During a WEF discussion at Davos titled “Defending Truth,” Wall Street Journal EIC Emma Tucker lamented this loss of control over “the facts.”

“I think there’s a very specific challenge for the legacy brands, like the New York Times and like the Wall Street Journal,” Tucker said, adding “If you go back really not that long ago, as I say, we owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well.”

“If it said it in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, then that was a fact,” she continued, adding “Nowadays, people can go to all sorts of different sources for the news and they’re much more questioning about what we’re saying.”

Vice President Věra Jourová of the European Commission also participated in the discourse, characterizing the proliferation of “disinformation” as a “security menace” and stating,  “It was part of the Russian military doctrine that they will start information war, and we are in it now.”

“Disinformation is a very powerful tool,” Jourová continued, adding that “In the EU we are focusing on improving of the system where the people will get the facts right. We don’t speak about opinions. We are not correcting anyone’s opinions or language. This is about the facts.”

Republican Legislators Introduce Bill Defunding the World Economic Forum

By ,

House Republicans have introduced legislation that would suspend financial support for the World Economic Forum.

“No funds available to the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, or any other department or agency may be used to provide funding for the World Economic Forum,” the bill reads.

Representatives Scott Perry (R-Pennsylvania), Tom Tiffany (R-Wisconsin), and Paul Gosar (R-Arizona) were among those who introduced the legislation.

“The World Economic Forum doesn’t deserve one cent of American funding, and it’s past time we defund Davos,” Perry said in a press release.

Speakers at the annual conference of the WEF, held in Davos, Switzerland, earlier this week, expressed concern regarding “misinformation generated by artificial intelligence.”

Professor of Internet law at George Mason University Carl Szabo stated on Thursday that forum leaders are concerned that artificial intelligence may aid the reelection campaign of former President Donald Trump.

“The Defund Davos Act would ensure that U.S. tax dollars are not funding the World Economic Forum and their reset on our way of life. I thank Congressman Perry for leading this important effort,” Tiffany said.

Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, was invited to participate in a panel discussion on the prospects of a potential Republican presidency. He utilized the occasion to offer a critique of the WEF’s endorsement of socialism and globalism, asserting that the incoming conservative presidential administration ought to unequivocally reject every idea put forth at the organization.

Zelensky to Join Klaus Schwab On Stage for Special Address to Davos Elites

By ,

On Tuesday, during the annual gathering of the globalist elites, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky will co-appear on a special stage with Klaus Schwab, executive chairman and founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

The title of their discourse before the audience by invitation only is “Achieving Security and Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”

Already in Davos for the four days of discussions, cocktails, canapés, and backslapping are tens of thousands of distinguished guests.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Chinese Premier Li Qiang, President Ursula von der Leyen of the European Commission, President Emmanuel Macron of France, President Javier Milei of Argentina, and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres of the United Nations are all listed as individuals who intend to be present at Zelesnky’s event.

Climate czar John Kerry, who is also in attendance, is arriving via personal aircraft to honor the event, in a move that many see as supremely hypocritical.

It will be the first time since February 2022, when Russia attacked Ukraine, that Zelensky visits Switzerland. The last time Zelensky visited Switzerland was for WEF in 2020, before the invasion. Since then, he has not returned, contenting himself with an appearance by videoconference.

His most recent sojourn at the prestigious WEF conclave concludes a far-reaching tour of Europe in search of financial resources and support for the ongoing conflict with Russia. He will undoubtedly be assuring the attendees that Ukraine lacks the resources needed repel the Russian forces.

Bill Gates Says Climate Tax Impending, Praises BlackRock

By ,

Billionaire Philanthropist and self-styled global health expert Bill Gates made an appearance on CNBC Tuesday, where he praised the monstrous investment management company BlackRock Inc, and foreshadowed the advent of climate taxes.

In the interview, Gates lauded BlackRock, and it’s founder Larry Fink in particular, for “private sector leadership” in regard to their continued pushing of ESG (Environmental Social Governance) goals and climate-related regulations, something that freight experts and state Attorney Generals, have been raising the alarm over.

“Blackrock and Lary in particular are a prime example of private sector leadership.  Anyone who says climate should not be a factor in how you evaluate the future of a company , um, that’s not capitalism because  companies that have emissions, they are going to be subject to border adjustment tariffs or taxes.  You also have to think about companies if you’re dealing with severe weather events that’s got to be factored in.  Is the company … becoming more resilient?  So the attacks are kind of illogical because climate does affect the economy which does affect investments.”

Gates’ unimaginable wealth has been used to gain control over the fields of public health, medicle research, vaccine development, and now his new pet project; a global digital identification system.

In addition, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation spends millions on shaping the news we get from mainstream sources. The legacy media may be less than objective in their coverage of Gates, but James Corbett produced a stellar documentary called Who is Bill Gates? which shows the other side of the story.

Hundreds of Dutch Farmers Face Forced Sale of Land to Uncompromising Government, Potentially Linked to World Economic Forum and Great Reset Agenda

By ,

Farmers from Ontario are standing with their Dutch counterparts as they protest draconian plans by their government to limit farming in the Netherlands. 

We reported on the protests taking place across Europe over weaponized regulations against farmers back in July.

Now, at least 600 Dutch farms are fighting back against the forced sale of their land to an uncompromising government in the next year, according to a GBnews report.

In an interview with the UK-based news organization, political commentator and former Forum for Democracy party member Eva Vlaardingerbroek echoed Dutch farmers’ continued outrage with their leaders in the wake of the recently announced land-grab plan.

“The outcome of the new program is worse. They’re going to expropriate, forcefully buy out, 600 farms in the next year,” Vlaardingerbroek tells GBNews host Mark Steyn, adding, “but it sounds a little nicer in the way that it’s written in the little text.”

“Instead of changing anything, they just changed the tone,” she said.

The pretense for this land grab is the reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions from agriculture — all in pursuit of controversial climate change goals. 

It has been suggested that there are more occulted motives behind the endeavor.

Back in July of this year, Vlaardingerbroek told Breitbart News that her country is essentially the “pilot” for the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset agenda.

Vlaardingerbroek said that countries like Canada and the Netherlands are being used as staging grounds for the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other globalist elites to pursue their radical schemes to transform society, mainly under the guises of global health and climate change.

Vlaardingerbroek said:

“Our government is following a climate agenda, the 2030 agenda more broadly speaking, and they are saying that the Netherlands has nitrogen and ammonia emissions are too high and that they are threatening the climate and local nature, and that they need to be cut down”

“For some reason, they aren’t coming after the airlines or other industries that actually are contributors to these emissions apart from the Dutch farmers. They are saying that the farmers need to give up 30 per cent of their land by 2030 and for a lot of these farmers that means they will go completely out of business depending on where they are in the country and that land goes to the state, surprise, surprise,” 

“Our farmers are being expropriated and the state is stealing their land… and oftentimes these are businesses that they have had in their families for centuries on end because the farming industry in the Netherlands is very strong.”

Under the coalition government of liberal globalist prime minister Mark Rutte, the Netherlands has “committed to reducing the nitrogen emissions produced by livestock by 50 percent by the year 2030” to fall in line with the EU’s Natura 2000 scheme, which requires member-states to protect certain areas designated by Brussels to be in danger ecologically. This means that some areas will be forced to reduce their emissions by as much as 95 percent, with estimates claiming that 30 percent of the country’s farmlands could be impacted.

Vlaardingerbroek believes that the farmers are aware this is not just coming from the national level, claiming that Prime Minister Mark Rutte:

 “is very deeply involved in the World Economic Forum, is a great proponent of all the ideas laid out in the 2030 Agenda and the Great Reset, it’s all related, all these policies are out of those institutions and they are being implemented in our country first, we are sort of the pilot country together with Canada for this agenda.”

Having strict control of the food supply it empowers the government to have “full control” over people’s lives “if they can dictate what and when you can or cannot eat,” Vlaardingerbroek said.

“Wars have been started over less,” she remarked.
