The Grifter Syndicate Returns to Davos
You didn't think I'd let Davos week come and go without dropping some jewels did you?
I was going to wait to do a full WEF/Davos post for the end of the week but I’ve seen enough! It’s time to share some hot takes about everyone’s favorite criminal enterprise, the World Economic Forum. While I don’t know that I can do as eloquent a job as QTR already did this morning…
… I will make some general points about what we’ve seen so far this week. My gut feel is these people know they’re running out of time to implement their one world fascist-government digital dystopia. It is very obvious judging from online sentiment that more people are beginning to wake up to the grift - namely that these largely unelected elite fly around the world and meet in Davos - the literal highest city in Europe to plan the future for us plebs. This is an entity that plans for and finds opportunity in the kind of chaos that we’ve been dealing with over the last several years.
There are a few things that the elite visiting Davos really don’t like:
Free speech
Being questioned
Bitcoin
I’ll take each of these one by one. But before we dive in, I think it’s really interesting that Elon Musk is suddenly speaking out against the WEF - Musk was named one of the World Economic Fuck’em’s Young Global Leaders back in 2008 according to this old Bloomberg article. What could possibly be the reason Musk is having a change of heart 15 years later? Especially considering he’s running an EV business, something that theoretically aligns with WEF agenda. Is he controlled opposition? Perhaps. But I think it could actually be a much more simple explanation.
Everything ultimately comes down to money and the ability to access it. Weaponizing money or financial access is bad enough in practice, but at scale it will be the way total control over the populace is to be attempted. I’ve written about the examples of such ad nauseum on Heretic Speculator; operation Choke Point years ago under Obama progressed to Canadian truckers having their bank accounts frozen and the weaponization of SWIFT against Russia more recently.
I’ve taken the view that consumers should use these same tactics with entities like PayPal, MSM, and generally any organization that is doing the bidding of Klaus’ operatives. Those operatives certainly know the game already and this is what the CEO of a PR firm just said in Davos this week:
Deprive platforms that spread disinformation of oxygen. Stop advertising. Pull your promotion money. Make sure that they understand that they have a consequential impact on society. And the boycott of Twitter for several months has had a modest impact.
Ahhh. Perhaps it makes more sense then why Elon Musk is suddenly not so down with the Davos syndicate as this strategy of cutting off ad funding is exactly what just happened at Twitter. But it doesn’t stop with pulling ad spend to stop disinformation (not to be confused with mIsiNForMaTiON). The very notion of speech freedom is now detestable to these people. Why? Well, because speech freedom leads to the ability to ask questions.
And the ability to ask questions leads to Ezra Levant and Avi Yemini of Rebel News giving Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla the business for (once again) pushing a product that fails to live up to promises at best or that it is outright hurting people at worst:
My favorite part of that video is when Bourla is so rattled that he literally walks into a dead end corner and has to get turned around by one of his handlers. YouTube doesn't currently have that video above but just about everything the team at Rebel News is doing is visible over at Rumble RUM 0.00%↑ . Levant got similar treatment from the governor of Georgia today.
In a much less chaotic line of questioning, Callum Smiles did an impeccable job asking Lord Mayor of the City of London (what a title) Nicholas Lyons if the WEF attendees are hypocrites for being so focused on climate change while they bounce around the world in private jets. In my view, Lyons completely ignored the question in his “answer.” But we did get an interesting tell earlier in the conversation regarding how the WEF plans to deal with climate change - Lyons said the words “green and sustainable finance.”
And that brings us to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is everything the WEF should hate. It uses energy, sure. But that’s not why the WEF doesn’t want you to be able to access BTC. If it was about energy, they’d get serious about the private jets. No. It’s because Bitcoin, despite its numerous faults, truly is permissionless and decentralized. Despite the proliferation of numerous cryptos that are more scalable technologically, BTC still reigns supreme. Why? Because the governments of the world can’t actually stop citizens from using it because there is no single point of failure - aside from electricity, but that’s why we do both BTC and Gold. As it happens, the WEF and banksters like Jamie Dimon really don’t like Bitcoin.
If Jamie Dimon and Klaus Schwab are on the same page about something financially, do the opposite.
Hi, Can I have a Venti Bitzlato?
Yesterday the Department of Justice put out a press release that teased a huge announcement in the crypto industry. They release characterized it as a “major international cryptocurrency enforcement action” and scheduled a press conference for noon yesterday. My thoughts at that moment, “oh boy, here we go.” Turns out, the DOJ is bringing the creator of Bitzlato to justice! What is Bitzlato? Good question.
It became a running joke on crypto Twitter yesterday that nobody had ever heard of this exchange yet the urgency and intensity of the messaging made it seem like a big shoe was dropping. Nope. Not at all. The DOJ taking a massive victory lap over Bitzlato immediately reminded me of a the old Tenaha Police Department photo with cops triumphantly standing in front of some weed, a couple tiny pistols, and a few hundred bucks (with singles laid out):
Great work, guys. In other news, 1 in 3 congress people took money from FTX representatives - remember FTX? Yeah… a real shame the DOJ didn’t find that one before it went to hell.
Everything is fine.
One more thing, I had the pleasure of being interviewed for Seeking Alpha’s Investing Experts podcast. We talked about Polygon (MATIC-USD) as my top pick for 2023, the SEC, FTX, and my general framework for investing in cryptocurrencies and digital assets.

When Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Noah Harari and Musk are collectively, gifted honorary medical degrees inevitably there will be unprecedented levels of mid-term and long-term side effects suffered by their naive patients. In my fourteen years of work as a health care practitioner, I've never witnessed such pervasive malpractice on a global scale. It's forced me to re-examine the conflicts of interest that are so rife in an ironically 'caring profession'.
