It’s a cult: The WEF are the “select few” touched as saviors of the world to master the future

By Jo Nova

What would it look like if a doomsday cult had a billion dollars to spend on a skiing holiday?

Maybe like the World Economic Forum: Here are people who think they are the select few, saviours of the world. They’re touched, they say by something (like an extra terrestrial maybe?) It’s an apocalypse, you know, like 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs says Al Gore. They’re boiling the oceans.

They might be powerful and rich, but the good news is they are utterly absurd.

The modern prophets are here to rescue you

Especially US climate envoy John Kerry:

“When you start to think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we – a select group of human beings, because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives – are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,” Kerry told a WEF panel on Tuesday.

“It’s so… almost extra-terrestrial to think about, saving the planet. If you say that to most people most people, they think you’re just a crazy tree hugging and lefty liberal, you know, do-gooder, whatever,” he added.

From somewhere above Earth in an omnipotent kind of place, here’s someone who thinks he’s God:

As Jordan Peterson says: Who are you gong to sacrifice to save the planet @JohnKerry  — and do you think and how will you ensure that they have any say in the matter?

Meanwhile Al Gore tells us 600,000 atomic bombs are boiling the oceans

It’s the hellfire and brimstone formula, with hyperbole, sensationalism and big-scary-numbers.

Chris Donaldson, BizPac Review, claimed the overstuffed prophet of climate doom delivered a deranged rant, and all Donaldson had to do was quote him:

We’re still putting 162 million tons into it every single day, and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth,” Gore said.

“That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach 1 billion in this century,” he ranted.

“Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees. What about a billion? We would lose our capacity for self governance on this world.

Have you seen a bomb going off? Me neither.

 

Give us your money

It all comes back to one thing.

Or that other thing at €2,300 a night:

Prostitutes gather in Davos for annual meeting of global elite – where demand for sexual services rockets during economic summit

You’d think planetary heroes would be more popular with the girls?

My favourite description of the WEF is that they are globalization’s “Mafiocracy” of bankers, industrialists, oligarchs, technocrats and politicians.

    Have you seen the little piggies
    Crawling in the dirt
    And for all the little piggies
    Life is getting worse
    Always having dirt to play around in

    Have you seen the bigger piggies
    In their starched white shirts
    You will find the bigger piggies
    Stirring up the dirt
    Always have clean shirts to play around in

    In their sties with all their backing
    They don’t care what goes on around
    In their eyes there’s something lacking
    What they need’s a damn good whacking

    Everywhere there’s lots of piggies
    Living piggy lives
    You can see them out for dinner
    With their piggy wives
    Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

    One more time…..

    Written by George Harrison and based on the works of George Orwell. Our current Western elite reminds me very much of Bread and circuses, Decadence, excess, greed and the decay and collapse of the Roman Empire as the elite failed to see to the important things, proper defence, jobs, food, supplies, Housing and securing their borders against a huge influx of people wanting their share who ultimately destroyed the empire

      why not mention the 22 million Hiroshima bombs that the sun hits us with every single day? How come that didn’t boil the oceans?

      Pretty sure my clothes bombard me with a hand grenade’s worth of energy every day. I’m still here.

      (250 kJ in Rusdian F1 and we use about 8000 kJ of energy, and it will vary hugely on circumstances, so a very rough guess)

      What about all that jet A1 “fossil fuel” that they have burned?
      Hey people. What about all that dirdy carbon that you all have used?
      Oh, and what about all those little tin soldiers (all 5,000 of them). Did they all walk there?

      Oh, it’s OK, where saving the planet from all those nasty right wingers. Lol. Hypocrites or what?

            Since tonyb (above) can quote George Harrison, I’ll see his effort, and top it with the Nobel Laureate’s take…

            “Well, the sword swallower, he comes up to you and then he kneels
            He crosses himself and then he clicks his high heels
            And without further notice, he asks you how it feels
            And he says, “Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan”

          In the United States, you will hear a prostitute referred to as a “hooker” which dates back to the Civil War. The girls that followed the troops under General Joseph Hooker were so numerous that they simply became known as “Hookers.” Ah, such an honor to have an entire professional trade named after you. That’s better than a bronze statue for pigeons to defecate on.”

      What I would like to know is, how did Al Gore persuade Clive Palmer to thwart the Abbott government’s landslide mandate?

          The Palmer United Party

          1. “Protected” the Renewable Energy Target (RET), which was a second carbon tax using another name, and became the funding source for many of the windmills and solar “farms” that have sprung up around the country since 2014, and

          2. Similarly”protected” the Rudd/Gillard government’s mad spending program.

          That word ‘protect’ was used by Clive Palmer as he stood with Al Gore on the steps of OUR parliament to announce his party’s new policy. Having campaigned on a platform to the right of the coalition, and there picking up enough protest votes to get elected, the PUP maintained the programs of the Rudd/Gillard government.

          So we never really got an Abbott government. What we got, courtesy of the PUP, was a Gore government. And Gore wasn’t even a citizen, let alone a rep.

          It always mystified me why Abbott didn’t complain about this at the time. No doubt he was building a plan to take all these issues to a double dissolution election, only to have that election hijacked by Turnbull.

            The CAGW chess game……

            Certain people appearing with Al Gore was a form of declaring alliegance.

            The people who run the CAGW are massively resourced – it would blow your mind.

            I find it interesting that at a pivotal moment in the debate, that a “wild card” is injected into the situation to give appearance of “chaos” but in true to form fashion, we will get “order from chaos”.

            From a helegian dialectic point of view, both sides of the “struggle” are tightly controlled. The main way of achieving results is to make it look like an “organic” activity, but in reality, it is tightly controlled. Nothing happens with the puppet masters say so. This is why Pauline Hanson was run out of politics – they couldnt control her. ( and no I dont support her )

            In a Helegian Dialectic we have thesis ( labour ) and antithesis ( liberal ) and with a bit of help from our wild card – synthesis.

            The beautiful thing about a “wild card” is plausible deniability – this is complete rot of course. Its all heavily planned.

            Have you ever wondered why it is no matter who is in powr, we still wind up with some form of emissions trading regardless of how big & public the CAGW lie is?

            Wonder no more.

            This is a stage managed “struggle” . Clive was just being trotted out so people could see who their new “gopher” is.

            The puppet masters are now showing off their power in your face.

            I wonder how many people will notice it?

            This lot like to hide in plain sight….

              Tucker Carlson yesterday (Fox News Friday20/1/23) had an insightful look at the false idea governments elected in the USA are the managers of the nation.

              Some of his reasoning was based on the events around Nixon and Watergate. Woodward actually left the stables of US Security (not generally known) just before ‘becoming’ a journalist to the public. Similarly, General Flynn, selected by Trump for the leadership position of the Security services was targetted because he was too ethical to obey the demands of the bureaucrats that run those services and who decide how the USA will run.

              The different ways the Biden administration have been treated by those Services compared to Trump is a reflection of how the bureaucracies regard the continuation of having the USA run in accordance with their determinations of how it will run.This raises a whole heap of problems for the continuation of Democracies into the future. One matter is the matter of illicit use of force against the individual with penury the final threat, or extended periods of imprisonment before getting to the Courts, if ever.

              I can only provide snippets from memory of all he said, and I know as I write I make it sound like a rendition of conspiracy theories that have been around for years. It actually wasn’t like that at all. Tucker is not a conspiracy theorist. I can only say if you can find it, yesterday’s edition is well worth catching up with.

    The Davos S*x Trade

    From Armstrong Economics –

    “Besides the Swiss government sending in 5,000 troops to guard Schwab, the other professional trade that besieges Davos are the prostitutes. In fact, they strongly advise that women should NOT attend Davos UNESCORTED because they will be taken to be a member of the guild.

    The 2016 Democratic National Convention was a presidential nominating convention, held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from July 25 to 28, 2016. To my shock, besides the usual army of prostitutes that attend political conventions, a member of our staff who is gay at the time said all the gay boys were also making big bucks for the Democrats at these conventions also like the other side of the street.

    When I was in NYC, one of the lawyers on a Terrorist case said that they all use high-class prostitutes who also have the skill set to be a paralegal. The court pays for these “paralegals” with tax payer’s money and they then engage in the game of legal espionage sleeping with the enemy for inside information.

    Greenpeace recently released data for private jet flights into Davos in 2022.

    Apparently WEF disputes these figures saying they are too high but claim Davos is hard for busy people like Elites to get to without flying, even though Davos has a train station. It is claimed the 21km flight was not related to Davis but a repositioning flight.

    https://www.greenpeace.org/international/ce-delft_co2-emissions-from-private-flights-to-the-world-economic-forum/

    CE Delft – CO2 emissions from private flights to the World Economic Forum
    Greenpeace International

    13 January 2023

    Summary of report
    New analysis commissioned by Greenpeace International shows that 1,040 private jets flew in and out of airports* serving the Swiss mountain resort of Davos during the week of the 2022 World Economic Forum (WEF), causing CO2 emissions from private jets four times greater than an average week.

    The research, conducted by Dutch environmental consultancy CE Delft, found that the number of private jet flights to and from airports serving Davos doubled during the 2022 World Economic Forum meeting compared to average weeks, causing CO2 emissions equivalent to about 350,000 average cars in the same time period.[1] The researchers attribute about every second flight to the meeting itself.

    Of all these flights, 53% were short-haul flights below 750 km that could have easily been train or car trips, with 38% flying ultra-short distances of under 500 km. The shortest flight recorded was only 21 km. According to the analysis, countries with the highest number of arrivals and departures out of Davos airports included Germany, France and Italy.

      That ‘boiling’ ocean is so NOT hot that the 2nd cyclone of the season, Irene, lasted LESS than than the previous short-lived one, Hale. O Catastrophe, where is thy sting?

      Ex-TC Irene is now a low, cursed to drift south-eastwards to ultimately fade into the Roaring Forties (REAL storms) to, as with Ex-TC Hale, be a mere tiny blip on an otherwise flat line. More CO2 apparently now means not only LESS cyclones but WEAKER ones as well.

      And talking of the ‘chosen select’ being ‘touched’, NZ mad media are now claiming Saint Jab-jab Cinda was driven from office by *misogynistic life-threatening vitriol from a deluded far-right minority* or sumpfink.

    Gulfstream greens: Gore the Man vs. Gore the Messenger

    by Kirsten Dirksen on September 21, 2009

    [..]

    “Al Gore, he says he’s green, but he rented my Gulf Stream to fly alone to Los Angeles”. It took me a minute to process this neatly delivered packet of information delivered to me at a party recently. Obviously, the messenger didn’t have a problem with his flying in a fuel guzzling machine since he routinely flew it alone so I wondered whether it was Gore’s campaigning for the earth to which he took offense or truly the two points combined.

    [..]

    This must not have been the standard reaction to his bit of gossip as he fumbled for a moment before guessing, “maybe about 11 to 15 thousand gallons”. That is a lot of fuel– roughly equal to adding 15 to 20 Americans to the road for a year (while jet fuel isn’t equal to gasoline it uses petroleum and gallon for gallon more petroleum than gas). Even if his calculation was off (I read that a mid-size Gulf Stream uses 2,400 to 3,000 for a roundtrip cross country flight though his jet could be much larger), we’re still talking about the equivalent in fuel of several Americans for an entire year.

      China is currently their love child. Just listen to what they’ve been openly stating re China. We must trade with it – how else are we to go bust if we don’t buy cheap Panels and Windmills from China, especially when the same egotistical fools say China doesn’t have to worry about CO2 and we must pay it as a third world economy. Just stating these things while China builds up its armed forces at lightning speed is enough to demonstrate the extreme hatred these elites feel for the Western nations that they’ve plundered so very well personally. That’s the Western Nations where their banana peel to slip on is DEMOCRACY and individual freedom.
      That democracy is our only defence yet our people seem to be getting more and more ready to throw it away and be governed by the likes of these authoritarian, narcissistic parasites we see at Davos! Just look at the airheads of TEALS and a footballer almost controlling our governance at this time and weep.

    These con merchants and fraudsters can say anything and do anything and our blog donkeys will always believe them.
    Yet very simple data tells us they are wrong and it can be found in 5 minutes by anyone.
    So why can’t these loonies find the data and how can the clueless MSM, pollies, etc sit back and let them get away with this ongoing corruption and fraud?
    This has been going on for decades and yet we’ve also seen an improvement for Humans since 1990 as well.
    Look up the data and prove us wrong or start to wake up to these corrupt con merchants and manipulators.
    Humans were poor and sick for at least 250 k years and life expectancy was under 40, but since 1800 the 8 billion of us are now much healthier and wealthier than at any time in Human history.
    The UK’s Industrial REV was the obvious trigger and the amazing improvement in just the last 50 years or 30 years also proves we are living in the most beneficial period of time EVER.
    And never forget that fossil fuels STILL generate over 80% of GLOBAL energy and TOXIC S & W are an environmental disaster and have to be buried in landfill every 15 to 20 years FOREVER.

    The belief in anthropogenic climate change is a cult.

    What are the characteristics of a cult?

    https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/religion/2016/09/15/what-makes-cult-cult/90377532/

    [..]

    1. Charismatic leader: The charismatic leader is the originator of the group. Charismatic leaders are people who are great manipulators, they’re charming. They know how to read people. They come along and offer a message that is going to resonate with somebody. Once they get a few followers that’s all they need and then those people go out, recruit more and they build up an aura around the leader.

    2. Transcendent belief system: Most religions and even political groups are going to have a transcendent belief system, meaning they’re stating how to get to some better place. But what’s different in cultic groups is they have their way to get you there. [..]

    3. Systems of control: They think they’re joining something that’s going to give them purpose and meaning. Slowly the heat gets turned up and you go through the rituals or the study sessions that get you more and more drawn in. As this process goes on, the person begins to adopt this new worldview that requires new behaviors and which most often requires cutting off from the past. There’s all kinds of control mechanisms, which are the rules and regulations. [..]

    4. Systems of influence: Then there’s the more subtle influences, which is the peer pressure. Older members will model for the new members how you’re supposed to behave. Before you know it, you’re so enveloped in this other reality that you don’t look to anything else. You don’t allow yourself to be opened to any other explanations. Your mind has completely closed in on this new worldview. So the connections to the belief system is kind of the glue that keeps you there. This is your only hope.

    [..]

      “Most religions and even political groups are going to have a transcendent belief system … ”
      There may be a better way of explaining this: Immanent = applies for this time/dispensation. Transcendent = applies to all times/dispensations. Independent Investigation of Truth is a transcendent criterion. Religions start fresh and clear, but ultimately end up slow and muddy. The cycle repeats. Most here support ITT. Some have learned by experience that it is essential, but with others, the faculty seems to be “hard wired”.

    Even the very recent improvement for Human thriving is impossible for the corrupt con merchants to try and explain using the UN data and evidence.
    In 1970 global population was 3.7 billion and life expectancy was 56.5 years.
    Just 32 years ago global population was 5.3 billion and global life expectancy in 1990 was 64 years.
    Today global population is 8 billion and global life expectancy in 2023 is 73 years.
    So why do so few people understand the actual UN DATA since 1970 or 1990?
    IOW this takes just 5 minutes to expose their FRAUD and CORRUPTION and YET after 32 years so many people STILL BELIEVE in their stupid RELIGIOUS CULT?

    UN Chief Guteress accusing oil companies as lying evil corporations “Today, fossil fuel producers and their enablers are still racing to expand production, knowing full well that their business model is inconsistent with human survival.”

    Al Gore “We’re still putting 162 million tons every single day[of greenhouse gas pollution into the atmosphere]

    Yes, but the oceans exchange, absorb and emit 860 million tons of CO2 every day in the rapid exchange process known as gaseous equilibrium which maintains the CO2 level.

    Further the only reason CO2 levels go up is if the ocean surface temperature increases as dictated by Henry’s Law. And Climate tragics like Al Gore and John Kerry could retire on their fortunes from tobacco, Apple and Heinz baked beans.

    And sea surface temperature changes are caused by ocean currents with huge effects on climate. La Nina and El Nino are exactly that process Warming ocean surfaces means more CO2. So the source of CO2 is completely irrelevant. If old CO2 is considered ‘dirty’ then the world is self cleaning but in fact all CO2 is identical.

    So why aren’t the oil, gas, coal companies protesting there is <3.0% fossil fuel CO2 in the air so there is almost no man made CO2?

    (3140 billion metric tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. Half life around 5 years. 3140/2=1570 billion ton in just 5 years or 860 million tons per day.)

    Or at least Saudi Arabia who attended.

    It needs someone like the Saudis to commission a report on the actual level of man made CO2 and it would all be over the next day.

    220

    • #
      TdeF

      What that means is that man released CO2 is still only 20% of the vast rapid ocean exchange of CO2 which rapidly controls the level of CO2 in the air by Henry’s Law. The idea that CO2 will pile up in the atmosphere, the underlying logic of the IPCC is utter science rubbish.

      And the suggestion that CO2 which is 30x as soluble as oxygen is near insoluble with a half life of 80 years is totally contradicted by all human experience. All life on earth needs CO2 and there is really an historic world shortage. At 0.02% all life on earth would become die. So when CO2 goes up we should be cheering as the earth becomes greener in exact proportion.

      The idea of growing trees to reduce CO2 is just ridiculous. Again it admits a manipulative half truth, that trees are made entirely from CO2 and H2O.

      What is not said is that more CO2 means more trees as confirmed by NASA and even the CSIRO. Trees do not reduce CO2 as it is replaced immediately from the ocean.

      It is so amazing that the purveyors of bad science claim to be scientists. What scientist does not understand dynamic equilibrium, especially of gases in solution. Even a pendulum is equilibrium and the period is completely independent of the swing. So the amount of CO2 mean level is completely independent of human output.

      And if CO2 was man made why has it only gone up 50% in 250 years? Since 1900 human population has gone up x10 and human emissions will have gone up far more but the CO2 graph is close to straight line, despite the manipulated rocket ship graphs which are constructed by putting the flat bit on the axis and amplifying the vertical scale, a la Michael Mann.

        And to confirm my statement and make a point NASA and the CSIRO ignored in their Greening discovery is that the amount of greening from 1988 to 2016 is about 14% of the planet. And the increase in CO2 over that time was also 14%. This not only confirms my expectation that CO2 limits growth of trees, CO2 being set by the oceans. It confirms that when the oceans release CO2 the Greening occurs and in exact ratio to the increase. Now that’s simple science confirmed. And makes total nonsense of Nett Zero.

        There is no point pussy footing around limiting CO2 output when it is controlled by the planet. In fact, as most farmers know, if you want more produce you increase CO2. It’s no big mystery. And it’s not ‘fertilizer’ as so misleadingly claimed. CO2 is the plant. More CO2, more plants.

      Repeating what I have mentioned before from the book “Rising Tide”, the story of the great Mississippi flood of 1926-7. Last year we had a world ending weather event, where at most, 3000sq km received the best part of 28″ in a day. In 1927 3 million sq km of the Mississippi valley, received from 10-15″ in a day. That works out as nearly 450x the amount of water dropped. Would that count as an ‘atmospheric sea’? CO2 was a bit lower too.

Unfortunately, now we know there are lots of those politicians out there on all sides of the ideological spectrum. Your local member is probably one of them. Hell, your local councilor is most likely one of them too. The WEF just heard from Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Rockström is the alarmist creator of the “tipping point” theory of climate change amongst other nutty ideas. The idea that when things like CO2 go beyond a point and earths total biosphere collapses. Plus, apparently, there are numerous other indices in nature with the same characteristics. Real doomsday stuff up there with Erlich and Gore. Expect references from the likes of Rockström made by our Green and Teal politicians.

    We’re still putting 162 million tons into it every single day, and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth,” Gore said.

    There is little or no difference in the molar internal energies of carbon dioxide and oxygen. A mole of oxygen is removed from the atmosphere for every mole of carbon dioxide added.

    Accordingly, no extra heat is trapped in carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere due to human activity.

    Are our politicians so short on experience in the real world that they fall for this self serving mob of fools who consider themselves so brilliant that they should run the World as authoritarians. Or do our politicians dutifully obey to get a place for themselves in the grouping that thinks it should run the world.

    It is never a bad day,when my enemies loudly and proudly self identify.
    Al Gore has been an accidental promoter of truth and decency from the very start of his political brown nosing.
    We really should encourage Al Baby..
    As the commented on “speech” from this self important nitwit proves..

    The WEF are stupid and evil.
    The most basic evidence being..Al Gore’s Support for their aims.
    Al has that classic government touch..everything he touches turns brown and smells real bad..
    Just like all Government “help”.

    Maybe if we’re lucky America will go broke between Ukraine and the BRICS, Russia will just keep going and roll over all of Europe deleting Wokeness as it goes, and as a side benefit declare global warming & fossil fuel paranoia as ridiculous nonsense.

    Then we can get back to normal.
