Ever wonder if there are powerful people, behind the scenes, influencing world events?

There are.  This is the guy.  His name is Klaus Schwab, and he is in trouble.

If you follow national news, you’d recognize the top ten richest people in America.  Everybody knows the top three, that would be Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg. 

Those aren’t the people behind the scenes.  You might recognize those billionaires, and have an idea how they made their money.  They have power and influence, but not over several decades.

Klaus Schwab started the World Economic Forum (WEF) a half-century ago.  The WEF shapes the global, regional and industry agendas.  The global elite meet in Davos, Switzerland.

The Board of Trustees include the head of the World Bank, the head of the International Monetary Fund, the head of the European Central Bank, the head of the World Trade Organization, the Queen of Jordan, and the head of Blackrock.

Blackrock manages assets worth $11 trillion.  Their portfolio is about equal to the combined GDP’s of Germany, Japan and India.  Only the US and China are larger.

There are other people on the Board of Trustees that make you wonder what they are doing there.

The WEF is the main driver of globalism.  The idea seems to be that we will all get along if the developed countries get poorer and the developing countries get richer.  You don’t have to like it.  Nobody cares what you think.

Klaus Schwab looks like a Bond villain and talks like a Bond villain’s boss.

Klaus Schwab and the WEF are in trouble, and it has nothing to do with President Trump.

WSJ:    The Unraveling of the King of Davos

The article and the WSJ investigation are juicy.

Schwab was seemingly headed for a graceful exit from the organization he founded more than a half-century ago, after a 2024 investigation by The Wall Street Journal exposed evidence of a toxic culture at the Forum for women and Black employees. But by Friday, April 18, the trustees’ audit committee recommended opening a probe into a new wave of whistleblower allegations against Schwab and his wife, Hilde.

Schwab thought that he was too big to fail, so pushed back hard.  That worried the trustees, so Schwab ended up looking like an ass.

Trustees, many of whom have served on the Forum board for years, suddenly faced the prospect of more scrutiny about how effectively the organization had been supervised. They consulted lawyers for the board.

Schwab and his family seem like they are out, but an investigation is going to look at the other trustees.  Powerful, behind the scenes, people hate that, and will scatter.

Trustees also talked with lawyers over the weekend about needing to move quickly amid worries that Schwab or others acting in his interest might try to destroy evidence.

Everybody is lawyering up, and the WEF smells like corruption.  The rich and powerful people who like to attend the Davos conference, won’t be so nuts about showing up.

As was mentioned, President Trump has nothing to do with this, but “America First” is philosophically opposed to WEF globalism.  Several other countries are rejecting the globalist agenda.  The next couple of decades will be interesting.
