Insider
warns elites heading toward 'one-world solutions', There's 'not much interest in old-fashioned values or
virtues', by Paul Bremmer, 1/31/16, WND
The annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos,
Switzerland, has just wrapped up after a focus on a “Fourth Industrial
Revolution” and other issues the global elites consider important to the entire
world community.
But an insider who once set up such conferences, has held a
United Nations post, mingled with the top players in Washington and lists
multiple foundation board memberships on his resume warns “old-fashioned
values” are being left behind.
“I think we’re moving in the direction of more and more
globalism, which I would distinguish from globalization, which is more an
integrated kind of trading and investment pattern,” said Theodore Roosevelt
Malloch.
He said the elites’ discussions of problems and solutions
have taken on a global tone, as epitomized by Davos. “There’s more and more
emphasis, particularly in the developing world and in Europe, not necessarily
in the U.S., unless you consider the Obama administration indicative of the
emphasis, on one-world solutions, on UN solutions, on unitary solutions,”
Malloch said. Malloch, the chairman and CEO of the Roosevelt Group, knows what
it’s like to swim at that level.
In addition to previously serving on the executive board of
the WEF, he has had an ambassadorial-level post in the UN, worked in
international capital markets on Wall Street, held senior policy positions at
the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and U.S. State Department, and
served on numerous foundations and corporate, mutual fund and
not-for-profit/educational boards. He currently advises numerous international
and U.S. governmental advisory bodies and think tanks.
He described the recent meetings. “It’s full of wannabes and
celebrities,” Malloch said during a recent
interview on Newsmax TV. “About 3,500
people and tons and tons and tons of media were there trying to stalk down
people to get the interview of the day.”
This year’s Davos summit was attended by political
leaders, business executives, intellectuals and celebrities. Notable
politicians who attended included U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, French Prime
Minister Manuel Valls, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon.
Prominent business leaders included Bill and Melinda Gates,
Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman. Celebrities
included Kevin Spacey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Watson and will.i.am.
Attendees discussed a number of
topics they consider global issues, such as sustainable development, global
warming, water scarcity, economic growth, the global economy, inequality and
even gender
parity.
But the main topic was the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” The
Davos movers and shakers discussed the impact that new technologies such as
robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles will have on society,
existing industries, jobs and inequality.
Malloch recounts his life’s work in
a new book, “Davos,
Aspen, and Yale: My Life Behind the Elite Curtain as a Global Sherpa.” He said it was the
Iron Lady herself who first dubbed him a “sherpa.”
“Some years ago, I was presiding over a conference in
Washington, D.C., with CNN and Margaret Thatcher was the keynote speaker,”
Malloch recalled. “And when I introduced her, she said, ‘Whoever invented this
and brought this congress to fruition is truly a global sherpa.’ So it’s become
a moniker of mine. I’ve helped companies, I’ve helped organizations, I’ve
helped political leaders find their way in this rather difficult and
increasingly complex landscape.”
His experience, he said, allows him to recognize the drive,
then, toward globalism. There’s “not much interest in old-fashioned values or
virtues, not much attention to national sovereignty any longer,” he said.
