This video reminded me of a paper written by UN Assistant Secretary-General Robert Muller, known as "the philosopher of the United Nations."
He writes:
Today our objectives and efforts must be:
1. To see the religions globalize themselves into [...] the first global, cosmic, universal civilization.
2. National governments must absolutely globalize themselves significantly in a new, second generation United Nations with much more power, especially powers of implementation, legislation [...] or a United States of the World
3. Business must be put in its right place as a servant of the peoples' needs within a properly preserved Earth [...] and no longer be an instrument of unlimited power, profit and enrichment as the principal objective of life
4. More generally, we have come to the moment in evolution when we must give second place to the Darwinian theory of competition and survival of the fittest, and first place to a new ideology, science, strategy and methodology
"Globalism is a religious cult" is a clichéd take, but Globalism really is a religious cult.

Rare bad take from Scott Greer.
If people already hate the WEF — which basically an avatar of Globalism and links corporate, financial, political elites worldwide — and you want them to also hate the US government, then why not point out the links between US government and WEF? Or US institutions and WEF? Or US corporations and WEF?
And then point out that the WEF is bad not just for its role in the climate hoax and scamdemic, but because they promote all of the anti-White and anti-family stuff that the government promotes?
Nobody jumps from being a brainwashed normie to being based and redpilled on every single political issue overnight. Much easier to push someone in the right direction if they already hate Globalism.

"Moreover, the GAE’s agenda appears less outright evil than Schwab’s alleged schemes. The GAE doesn’t want to put you in a shoebox apartment and take away your meat. It does want to make your community more “diverse,” erase your cultural heritage, and make you pledge allegiance to George Floyd. For a lot of people, that doesn’t sound so bad. As long as they get their chicken wings and NFL, they’ll accept the GAE agenda."
Total clanger. Right-Wing people hated the ANTIFA/BLM riots and the anti-White Cultural Revolution. Huge protests were organized against the removal of statues etc. Regular conservatives hate Critical Race Theory. Immigration restriction/reduction is popular (remember "build the wall"?). The WEF supports all of the anti-White "diversity, equity, inclusion" bs anyway.
Plus, the Globalist end game seems to be a combination of Favela World and Vegan Pod Smart City World. The obedient middle management caste get put in the Smart Cities and kept on a short leash by technocratic surveillance, while all of the troublesome people get relegated to the slums and locked out of society by a social credit system, CBDCs, and so on.

I actually don’t believe the vaccine is safe for the record, there’s more than enough anecdotal evidence of people taking this thing and then dropping dead, and there’s some serious evidence of malicious corporate/medical malpractice. But if you are doing…

Also, people were incorrectly calling Globalists "racist Neo-Nazi eugenicists" long before the WEF gained mainstream infamy:
- "George Soros was in the Hitler Youth!"
- "The NATO flag is a secret swastika!"
- "The European Union is the Fourth Reich!"
- And so on.
It's now easier than ever to disprove this nonsense. Just open up the WEF website and you'll find them promoting "diversity / equity / inclusion," LGBT, mass migration, and even Communism. They couldn't be less Hitler-y if they tried.

Here's a Government Report on Environmental, Social Governance (ESG) Social Credit Scoring and its impact on Finance, Corporations and GDP. ESG oversees nearly $40 Trillion of Assets. That's Europe + North America in equivalent GDP.
It works just like the Social Credit will work for individuals:
1. Manufacturer = Higher Interest Loan-to-loan denial (low score on "Environment")
2. Entertainment = Lower-to-zero Interest Loan for leading LGBT characters, e.g. making Superman fight climate change and gay (high score on "Social")
Etc.
The Bank of International Settlements (Global Central Bank), and Blackrock, Vanguard, Fidelity, Statestreet - they make the policy of the world - not in competition to WEF/UN but in lockstep with - and this is how they have decided to enforce that Global Governance policy. This is hardly "conspiracy theory", I am actually providing the facts with every step heavily cited.

The WEF constantly promotes anti-White bs, "diversity," and flooding White countries with immigrants — sorry, "climate refugees."
The WEF is also "strategic partners" with many organizations and corporations ran/founded by the world's most powerful Jews:
- BlackRock (Larry Fink)
- Goldman Sachs (David Solomon)
- JP Morgan Chase (Daniel Pinto)
- Google (Larry Page & Sergey Brin)
- Meta (Mark Zuckerberg)
- Amazon (Andy Jassy)
- Open Society Foundations (George Soros)
The accusation that "people are only talking about the WEF to distract everyone from immigration and Jews" is so absurd that I can only assume anyone who says this is either mentally retarded or some sort of shill.
Edit: Klaus Schwab was mentored by Henry Kissinger ffs.

I've been saying this for four years now, but the whole ideology/worldview that TRS & Friends promote seems like it was strategically designed by a think tank to be as repulsive as possible to average Right-Wingers in America:
- They've been trying to rehabilitate Hitler (aka Satan 2.0) for years and have done countless Holocaust denial shows. That's the fastest way to make a normal person think that you're completely insane.
- They were promoting National Bolshevism and trying to rehabilitate Marxism until people called them out. Then they claimed it was "just a meme bro." They're still trying to rehabilitate Communism, they just call it "Socialism" now, as if there's any difference between the two.
- They deny the existence of Cultural Marxism (aka Western Marxism) and instead blame everything on Capitalism and Anglo-Saxon Classical Liberalism (i.e. the ideology of the Founding Fathers). Cultural Marxism was one of the most effective RW talking points circa 2016. Big normie appeal. Made Leftists seethe like mad and produce 3 hour "debunking" videos.
- They promote Third Worldism and Islamophilia. Standard Socialist bs with a "we're racist Nazis" veneer. They even went as far as to accuse people who don't care about Palestine of being "anti-White." They think Middle Easterners are our "natural allies" because they both hate Israel, even though Arabs view Israel as European colonialism. Mike Enoch said (verbatim) "if Palestinians were raping White girls, that would be even more reason to support them against Israel."
- They shill for Russia and China, ludicrously claiming that these states are somehow fighting against Globalism, and regurgitate their state propaganda word for word. They claim that China, a multiethnic Communist empire, is a "National Socialist" state. Simimlar situation with Russia, where they would be jailed for being racist Holocaust deniers, as per the Russian constitution.
- They shilled for lockdowns and vaccines, claiming that they were "hyperpolitical distractions" and accusing people who opposed them of being "mentally ill schizophrenic conspiritards." Now they're claiming that the WEF is "just a distraction," using the same rhetoric.
Is it just contrarianism, resentment, and antisocial behavior? It all seems a little too perfectly designed for that to be the case, but I suppose it might be possible. You could create a more effective ideology if you picked random political positions out of a hat.

Everybody knows Tony Blair's diatribe at the WEF yesterday demanding endless vaccines and Digital IDs to monitor who is or who isn't compliant was insane, yet the discourse in our scene is whether it should even be discussed at all.
Fundamentally, the dispute is on whether 2017 talking points still hold up in 2023. And this depends on how many Jews are involved with this or that policy.
To take Blair's vaccine surveillance grid as an example, then, the ''stakeholders'' would be (off the top of my head):
The W.H.O
Corporations gathering data
Local Governments who can now track their population
Central Banks shifting towards digital money
All of the above are bad news for any dissident political scene, but in ours we're arguing about whether it's even important based on the criteria of how Jewish each part of the network is.
In other words, a policy proposal's importance is not weighed on what is or what is not beneficial to Europeans and dissident right-wingers, but on how Jewish it is.
Surely people can see the problem here.
At any rate, Tony Blair was trending all day on Twitter yesterday, that is where the populist energy is and will be in the future, and the choice is whether to tap into it or remain in a forgotten ghetto pretending it's still 2017.

^ Very well said. And, frankly, this is an excellent development. I didn't think I'd live to see so many normal people (and by that I mean people who aren't deeply involved in fringe politics) explicitly hating Globalism. Maybe they don't fully understand stuff like human biodiversity or whatever, but their hearts are in the right place. They know evil when they see it.
As I said regarding the gas stoves issue: One of the main purposes of the 'dissident right' is to explain the full picture to normal Right-Wing people. This must be done in an easily digestible way that isn't immediately repulsive. So, that means not promoting Holocaust denial and trying to rehabilitate Fascism 24/7, which is apparently very difficult for some people.

I am not one to obsess over WEF and act as though it singularly controls the governments of the world, but the participation of so many powerful figures does show that they are all bought into pushing the same narratives.
The idea that "climate change" will cause "mass extinction" is insane and the fact that they've gone back to pushing this should put everyone on edge. This is one globalist talking point that basically every world leader and government has co-signed.
It's not a sign of an actual impending extinction. It's just about scaring you into accepting declining living standards and increased social control. After the demonstration of their control over the narrative that we saw with COVID, we should expect them to lean on climate change just as hard.
With the recent hyping of "15 minute cities," the idea of "climate lockdowns" doesn't seem so crazy now.

BBC article attacking Japan for being "stuck in the past" (ethnically homogeneous and patriarchal):
Japan is one of only two non-White countries targeted for "Replacement Migration" (ethnic cleansing) by the United Nations & Friends. The other is Korea.
In this article, the journalist (BBC's Toyko Correspondent) trots out every tired pro-immigration argument in the book, except for "Japaneseness is a social construct."
Highlights below:
This is the world's third-largest economy. It's a peaceful, prosperous country with the longest life expectancy in the world, the lowest murder rate, little political conflict, a powerful passport, and the sublime Shinkansen, the world's best high-speed rail network.
Japan still feels like Japan, and not a reproduction of America. It's why the world is so thrilled by all things Japanese, from the powder snow to the fashion.
The geeks and oddballs love it for its wonderful weirdness. But it also has alt-right admirers for refusing immigration and maintaining the patriarchy.
If you want to see what happens to a country that rejects immigration as a solution to falling fertility, Japan is a good place to start.
For decades Japan has been struggling with a sluggish economy, held back by a deep resistance to change and a stubborn attachment to the past. Now, its population is both ageing and shrinking.
A third of Japanese people are over 60, making Japan home to the oldest population in the world, after tiny Monaco. It is recording fewer births than ever before. By 2050, it could lose a fifth of its current population. Yet its hostility to immigration has not wavered.
When Covid struck, Japan closed its borders. Even permanent foreign residents were excluded from returning. I called up the foreign ministry to ask why foreigners who'd spent decades in Japan, had homes and businesses here, were being treated like tourists. The response was blunt: "they are all foreigners."
I remember sitting in a village hall on the Boso Peninsula [...] the village was listed as endangered, one of 900 in Japan. The old men gathered in the hall were concerned. Since the 1970s they had watched young people leave for jobs in cities. Of the 60 left, there was only one teenager and no children.
"This is such a beautiful place," I said to them. "I'm sure lots of people would love to live here. How would you feel if I brought my family to live here?" The air in the room went still. The men looked at each other in silent embarrassment.
The village was on the path to extinction, yet the thought of it being invaded by "outsiders" was somehow worse.
Only about 3% of Japan's population is foreign-born, compared to 15% in the UK. In Europe and America, right-wing movements point to it as a shining example of racial purity and social harmony.
But Japan is not as ethnically pure as those admirers might think. There are the Ainu of Hokkaido, Okinawans in the south, half a million ethnic Koreans, and close to a million Chinese. Then there are Japanese children with one foreign parent, which include my own three. These bi-cultural kids are known as "hafu" or halves - a pejorative term that's normal here.
The old are still in power: In 1868 the Samurai surrendered their swords, cut their hair, put on Western suits and marched into the ministries in Kasumigaseki and they're still there today.
Even after a second convulsion of 1945, the "great" families survived. This overwhelmingly male ruling class is defined by nationalism and a conviction that Japan is special.
[Shinzo Abe's] Grandpa Kishi was a member of the wartime junta and was arrested by the Americans as a suspected war criminal. But he escaped the hangman and in the mid-1950s helped found the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled Japan ever since.
Will Japan gradually fade into irrelevance, or re-invent itself? My head tells me that to prosper anew Japan must embrace change. But my heart aches at the thought of it losing the things that make it so special.

"This is such a beautiful place," I said to them. "I'm sure lots of people would love to live here. How would you feel if I brought my family to live here?" The air in the room went still. The men looked at each other in silent embarrassment.
The village was on the path to extinction, yet the thought of it being invaded by "outsiders" was somehow worse.
Only about 3% of Japan's population is foreign-born, compared to 15% in the UK. In Europe and America, right-wing movements point to it as a shining example of racial purity and social harmony.
But Japan is not as ethnically pure as those admirers might think. There are the Ainu of Hokkaido, Okinawans in the south, half a million ethnic Koreans, and close to a million Chinese. Then there are Japanese children with one foreign parent, which include my own three. These bi-cultural kids are known as "hafu" or halves - a pejorative term that's normal here.
The old are still in power: In 1868 the Samurai surrendered their swords, cut their hair, put on Western suits and marched into the ministries in Kasumigaseki and they're still there today.
Even after a second convulsion of 1945, the "great" families survived. This overwhelmingly male ruling class is defined by nationalism and a conviction that Japan is special.
[Shinzo Abe's] Grandpa Kishi was a member of the wartime junta and was arrested by the Americans as a suspected war criminal. But he escaped the hangman and in the mid-1950s helped found the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled Japan ever since.
Will Japan gradually fade into irrelevance, or re-invent itself? My head tells me that to prosper anew Japan must embrace change. But my heart aches at the thought of it losing the things that make it so special.
