    Default The World Government Summit

    Annnnnnd another "Conspiracy Theory" boldly takes off it's cloak and declares it's actually "Conspiracy Fact".

    Economist at 'World Government Summit'
    Among the things discussed but these elitist who think they run the world.


    "New Financial World Order About to Shift In Dramatic New Direction... digital currency to track every purchase.." among other things
    • A moderator ask the panelist unironically "are you ready for a new world order?"
    "We're already in WW3... for at least 4 years"
    • the Chinese are showing the way for digital ID & finances ....
    Secretary-General's video message to the World Government Summit
    Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
    Let me start by congratulating the government and people of the UAE for so impressively hosting Expo 2020 under such challenging circumstances
    You have brought the world together around the theme of connecting minds and creating the future with a focus on the Sustainable Development Goals.
    That is very much the spirit of this World Government Summit.

    Since 2013, the World Government Summit has drawn innovative thinkers and decisionmakers to Dubai to explore pathways to a better future for all humanity.

    Your theme — “Shaping the Future of Governments” — is an important opportunity to discuss how governments can better respond to the needs of their people, and the planet we all share, at this challenging moment in history.
    This year, you meet when hope is in short supply.
    When mistrust, divisions and fear are growing.
    When global recovery and the Sustainable Development Goals are slipping farther from reach.
    And when the solutions to the challenges facing our world seem more distant than ever.
    Governments are called upon to address these struggles head-on.
    For their own people, but also for our common future.
    And do so in solidarity — as a global family.

    So Alex Jones get's another 1, 2 ,3... 7 dollars in the jar for times he's been right.

    GLOBALIST Elites
    meet to plan World Gov't,
    a new currency,
    a cashless digital currency,
    track all transactions world wide,
    China is a model
    All without the consent or consultation of the people.
    All without regard to the U.S. congress, U.S. laws or U.S. constitution.

    I'm guessing most of you have been aware of this
    but i'm guessing the hard part to swallow at this point is that the elites are made up of people that are/have worked with both Democrats and Republicans....For Decades.

    I think this is still relevant.

The thing is that I look at the benefits that have come to the world with increased freedoms for billions of people with increases in almost any measure of economic advancement... I don't know if you agree with that last sentence or not but it is not a logical conclusion to me that all of this liberalization has been granted until the rug gets pulled out from underneath the whole thing. All due respect I just don't see that.
    Not to say that the WGS isn't a fantastical pile of crap which I predict goes nowhere.

    I see your argument. I also see Rev's. Power corrupts. Ultimate power corrupts ultimately. How many bureaucracies are there in the World that exist just to tell the World what to do? Global trade and opportunity is great. People inventing positions to tell others how they can or can't do it not so much.

    Russia-Ukraine has put a spotlight on some of it to me because I check out the Euro news. Just off the top ... UN, NATO, EU, European Commission, G-20, The World Court ... I'm sure that's just the part of the iceberg we can see. All designed to accomplish nothing but get a cut of the profits from your aforementioned trade and opportunity.

    That it's all one big conspiracy is giving selfish, greedy people who don't want to work WAY too much credit. Coincidence DOES matter when it leads to the same result.

    I'm not sure that's his argument though. I don't dispute that power corrupts. I don't dispute that there are bureaucratic windbags. My issue is that either these insitutions are so inept that they've failed, for close to 80 years now, to impose their governmental control on the world to the detriment of countries who choose liberalized economies; or that they've been controlling things so much that those countries that have liberalized their economies will have all their economic gains wiped out when the powers that be impose massive controls. The latter making no logical sense.

    Do I like many of those institutions? Not any more than I like government regulations getting in the way but sometimes organizations are useful; domestic court systems are useful and sometimes necessary as the WTO is useful and sometimes necessary for example. If we're going to be a globalized country then sometimes we need to make globalized agreements and all that is part of that.

    But I'll say again, bureaucratic windbags suck though I think they are largely a non-issue.

    The fine print is in the "globalized agreements".

    Look at what it's done to Europe in the wake of Putin's invasion. The EU has been all over Russian gas and oil and some more than others have been willing to sell out Ukraine to invasion (while stating otherwise grandstanding on the tube) because they have made themselves vulnerable to the enemy. That's been my biggest bitch about the US.

    IMO, we do not need to be so far underwater in foreign trade we cannot be self-sufficient. Dependency is ALWAYS a weakness and sooner or later someone's going to come along to exploit it. All of this Euro-Russia trade (and US - China for that matter) is supposedly made in good faith with bad actors.

    Ending up on the short end of the stick sucks. We can be part of the global community at arm's length, IMO.

    I disagree that we are under water but we've had that discussion in the past. And I don't think warring nations are germaine to this discussion but I take your point. We can make global agreements and be subjected to supranational organizations but we can't pick and choose.
