Sixty heads of government from around the world attended, as did endless Lear Jet–loads of multilateral officials. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, out-blathered President Biden: "The world is not at a single inflection point; it is at multi-inflection points." (Biden drags "inflection points" into almost every speech.)

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told the WEF crowd that  "deep reforms to global governance" were needed. And who better to deepen governance than the United Nations, the supreme tyrants' club in the solar system?

Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, declared, "We have a responsibility to be stewards of our beautiful, small planet's future. There is something that leaders need to embrace, and it is the responsibility to act, even if it's not popular." This spiel perfectly captured the prevailing disdain for democracy — or at least of any populace that fails to vote themselves into ever-greater subjection to their self-proclaimed-expert saviors. WEF Founder Klaus Schwab whooped up the Davos attendees as "trustees of the future."

No wonder that Australian senator Alex Antic warned in the Australian Parliament: "The WEF is steeped in authoritarianism and Marxist ideology. It's an ideology which is creeping into governments across the world."

A world of censorship

The WEF had two big goals this year: "restore trust" and "crush dissent." Okay, that last one is a paraphrase. Instead, the WEF is proclaiming that the greatest peril humanity now faces is "misinformation and disinformation." And it knows this because its own truths are self-evident.
