The World Economic Forum (WEF), based in Cologny, Geneva Canton, Switzerland, is an international NGO, founded on 24 January 1971 by Klaus Schwab. The foundation, which is mostly funded by its 1,000 member companies as well as public subsidies, views its own mission as “improving the state of the world by engaging business, political, academic, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agendas”.[1]The WEF is mostly known for its annual meeting at the end of January in Davos, a mountain resort in Graubünden, in the eastern Alps region of Switzerland. The meeting brings together some 3,000 paying members and selected participants – among which are business leaders, political leaders, economists, celebrities and journalists – for up to five days to discuss global issues across 500 sessions.The organization also convenes some six to eight regional meetings each year in locations across Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and India and holds two further annual meetings in China and the United Arab Emirates. Beside meetings, the organization provides a platform for leaders from selected stakeholder groups from around the world – business, government and civil society – to collaborate on multiple projects and initiatives.[2] It also produces a series of reports and engages its members in sector-specific initiatives.[3]The Forum dogmatically argues that a globalised world should be governed by a self-selected coalition of multinational corporations, governments and civil society organizations (CSOs),[4] which it expresses through initiatives like the “Great Reset” and the “Global Redesign”.The WEF is chaired by founder and executive chairman Professor Klaus Schwab and is guided by a board of trustees that is made up of leaders from business, politics, academia and civil society. Members of the board of trustees include: Mukesh Ambani, Marc Benioff, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, Mark Carney, Laurence D. Fink, Chrystia Freeland, Orit Gadiesh, Fabiola Gianotti, Al Gore, Herman Gref, José Ángel Gurría, André Hoffmann, Christine Lagarde, Jack Ma, Yo-Yo Ma, Peter Maurer, Luis Alberto Moreno, Muriel Pénicaud, H.M.

Well Jack Farrell was totally flawed in his thinking, "democracy with all its flaws is the best thing going" , perhaps 1945, not in 96, and certainly not as of 2022 when the poison begins to settles back from all corners of the globe into the US. There was no winning of the cold war, another flawed thinking pattern, our missiles were still pointed at Russia and theirs at us. Russia made the smart , very tough decision to fold their cards from the game. Russia and China both are sitting on a pike of gold and liquidity , while the west is indebt beyond their means to repay. Offshore wealth and much of income stream from debtor vassel states has diminished by 75%. Nobody wants war but if the western elites can't get write-offs and concessions will have no other choices but simple less luxurious life's or war, in the 10,000 years of their system has always chose war… figure out the rest when the cards fall.
