Davos Man on defense: World Economic Forum lashes out at ‘disinformation campaigns’ against its tyrannical ideas

Davos Man on defense: World Economic Forum lashes out at ‘disinformation campaigns’ against its tyrannical ideas WEF spends end of 2022 labeling all of its critics agents for disinformation. Jordan Schachtel In a world gone increasingly mad, it’s worth digging out some optimistic trends we’re seeing going into 2023.  Some of the world’s most influential networks and organizations — which were once considered untouchables — are now feeling the heat. Davos Man, in particular, is now playing defense. The World Economic Forum (WEF) and its benefactors are facing major headwinds. What was once a shadowy, ruling class ideas shop has been forced into the spotlight, exposing its powerful network to unwanted attention from the Common Man. The WEF’s extremist agenda, which has advanced global narratives such as the “The Great Reset” and “Build Back Better,” and “You’ll Own Nothing And You’ll Be Happy,” among others, has been met with increasingly fierce resistance.

The Great Cognitive Advance

  The Great Cognitive Advance On a per capita basis, the highly intelligent became ten times more numerous in England between 1000 and 1850. Written by Peter Frost. DNA from human remains is showing us how different populations have evolved over time, not only during prehistory but also well into recorded history. This evolution has affected a wide range of mental and behavioral traits: cognitive ability, time preference, propensity for violence, monotony avoidance, rule following and empathy, among others. Such traits vary among human populations because different cultures have imposed different demands on mind and body.

There has thus been a process of coevolution: we make culture, and it remakes us—by selecting those among us who survive and pass on their genes. This coevolution has followed different trajectories in different times and places. One trajectory b...

JFK: Myth vs. Reality

  JFK: Myth vs. Reality Monika Wiesak I am writing this as someone who, through studying John F. Kennedy’s presidency, has developed a great degree of respect for him. In my first book  America’s Last President: What the World Lost When It Lost John F. Kennedy,  which focused on his presidency, I included many of his direct quotes because I believed it was important to let him speak for himself rather than have me speak on his behalf. I have done the same with my X account (https://x.com/MonikaWiesak), regularly posting clips of JFK speaking, whether it be in press conferences, formal or informal speeches, phone conversations, or meetings. In my book on his assassination , Echoes of a Lost America: Unraveling the Murder of JFK , I chose not to argue any thesis regarding the crime because I wanted to explore the evidence without bias or preconceptions. I felt that would be most fair to JFK and I wrote the book, in essence, for him. After all, he is not here to speak for hi...
