Deciphering Davos: What The
International Ruling Class Have Planned For You, Authored by Doug Casey via InternationalMan.com, Published by Tyler Durden 1/31/20.
International Man: No matter the
problem, the prescription of the Davos crowd is always more welfare, more
warfare, more money printing, more taxes, and of course, more centralization of
power into global institutions. What’s your take?
Doug Casey: The people who attend Davos
are all welfare statists. They’re not necessarily socialists,
insofar as they don’t want to see government nationalize industries. Most
understand how totally dysfunctional that is and that they don’t really benefit
from it. Strict socialism, defined as State ownership of the means of
production, is off the table. They prefer economic fascism, where a powerful
State can funnel wealth to the corporations the elite own or control. They’re
happy to throw some table scraps to the unwashed masses, of course. Modern
Monetary Theory (MMT) is the best way to do that.
Again, they’re not
socialists. They’re welfare statists. Completely opportunistic and absolutely
unprincipled. Despicable people, actually. Few are entrepreneurial, independent
thinkers or free-market oriented. Those types would be disruptive at Davos, and
if they’re ever invited, it would be only once.
Other than celebrities, court
intellectuals, and publicity-oriented multibillionaires, the attendees are almost all bureaucrats and politicians who
thrive on stolen money. But it’s no longer easily visible briefcases full of
cash. That’s quaint in today’s world. They steal indirectly, by
making sure they benefit from state regulations, state favors, and the
inflation of the currency.
Bribes are in the form
of tax-deducible donations to charitable foundations and nongovernmental
organizations (NGOs). That’s not only much safer, but the money is vastly
bigger, and the way it’s rigged adds to their prestige. Both making and taking
a bribe disguises the miscreants as philanthropists and do-gooders when they
use an NGO as a funnel.
But getting back to their economic views,
they’re all for “quantitative easing.” Printing money—MMT—directly benefits the
stock market. It
raises corporate earnings, and much of the newly created cash directly boosts
the prices of shares. It’s really sweet, if you’re an insider.
International Man: At this year’s event,
climate change appears to be a big focus. What are your thoughts on this?
Doug Casey: These fools love to talk about
global warming, which they attribute to carbon dioxide. Their jets and limos
are a small price to pay for the invaluable moral hectoring they give to the
billions of hoi polloi.
Davos people see the common man as the
real problem. And perversely, the common man believes what he’s told in the
media—namely, that he is the
problem. Pseudo science has become a new religion. It’s become a moral
crusade against carbon, the one element that’s basic to all life; it’s
now more hated than uranium, plutonium, or gold. Carbon is being pursued by a
lynch mob of angry chimpanzees.
And leading the charge is Davos attendee Greta
Thunberg. She’s emblematic of how thoroughly degraded this has become. Greta is
a manufactured celebrity. She came out of nowhere last year;
massive but completely undeserved media attention made her into one of the
planet’s most famous people. It’s not just laughable, but amazing, that a high
school sophomore—with no knowledge or experience—has become a world opinion
leader. You may have heard her famous deranged rant, but just in case, here it
is:
She has absolutely nothing going for her but
things like anger, resentment, hatred, and fanaticism. No
matter. The Masters of the Universe sit there as she scolds them for their evil
in destroying the world and ruining her youth.
The silly little bitch is a frothing-at-the-mouth
fanatic and suffers from several really severe psychological aberrations. She
is to the world what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is to the United States. She
will undoubtedly go into some multi-billion dollar NGO, where she can do a
maximum of damage.
People value urgency, sincerity, and passion. Like Hitler,
Mussolini, Lenin, Castro, and the like, she’s got plenty. And nobody dares say
a word about it, because she’s been granted the moral high ground. This augurs very poorly for the future.
Probably
the only intelligent words spoken at Davos this year came from Donald Trump, of
all people, when he decried “prophets of doom,” referring to the global warming
crowd.

Stop making sense. NGO is the tool of the elite to use, money is the glue in politics.
