Re the German accent.. Funny, isn’t it, how it’s suspicious and scary coming from Klaus Schwabb but cute, intellectual and aristocratic coming from Mises đ
Ludwig von Mises spoke with an AUSTRIAN (not German) accent. Yes, German is the dominant language in Austria, but Austrians tend to speak it with a noticeably different accent than Germans. To what extent this difference in pronunciation between Austrians and Germans affects their speech in (for them) foreign languages (such as English) presumably may vary from person to person.
On the reading from the script: this may just be incompetence in showmanship. The reason I say that is I work in a large corporation and I see this all the time. These people are no Joe Rogans or Tom Woods’. When there is a company wide broadcast, they are incapable of winging it and just speaking from the tops of their heads. The whole agenda is scripted, they have their powerpoints in front of them with the text and they read it out verbatim. You can even notice when they encounter a smiley face in the text because they would read it the whole text dead serious and then they would stop and carve a smile on their faces.
It’s FAAAAAKE but genuinely fake, if you know what I mean. Junior people (people who definitely don’t have any ulterior agenda) don’t know any better and think that’s “how it’s done” so they do the same thing when it’s their turn to speak.
I agree with everything in this great episode but this maaaay just be reading too much into it.
I think these types of people are well-intentioned. I have a friend exactly like this. Very smart, by classical measures probably the smartest person I’ve ever met. Complete technocrat. He’s so smart, he should decide for everybody, he thinks. Completely immune to arguments against this, “won’t happen to me.”
It’s simply hubris.
It really matters little why these people are doing these things.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” ~ C. S. Lewis
Completely agreed. This very-smart guy, who has been my friend for decades, will lie to my face with 100% sincerity. Then, when I pull out the facts to prove him wrong, he immediately 100% pivots to “Yes, and it’s good that way!” And he honestly does not recognize, after I point out this 180, that he’s just completely changed his opinion within one second.
The very typical sequence is, like with so many libs:
1. X is not happening
2. X is overblown
3. X is actually good!
This happens within SECONDS and I honestly believe he doesn’t think he’s doing it, even when I point it out again and again.
It’s very weird, but I do believe he’s sincere. And yes, that makes it extra dangerous.
Common sense and humility are totally different animals from pride and arrogance. Humble, isn’t a word in their vocabulary.
— Adam Smith
There’s nothing conspiratorial about a group of people having a chat about how to work together, but most of free market economic theory is based on a presumption of a competitive marketplace, with some kind of lightweight rule of law (i.e. property rights at a minimum) and this requires the existence of an arbitration or judgement mechanism … which ideally should be as neutral as possible and free from conflicts of interest.
In practice this is incredibly difficult to achieve … and for example we see situations where a bunch of oil producers get together to discuss how much oil they are going to produce each year … and they aren’t neutral, they aren’t competitive, and we call it the OPEC cartel. This sure annoys the buyers. There was for a while, some genuine competition as Russia was put into a position where they were ramping up international oil production … but now Russia also trots over to the cartel office and has a little chat about how much production would be appropriate.
These examples are all over the place … with or without Schwab and his WEF … you can regard the Federal Reserve System as a government-sponsored banking cartel, they keep competitors out, and they provide a sweet deal for government, with loans at well below market rate (i.e. free money) and they stick it to the little guy by producing inflation (and then denying everything and blaming suppliers).
If you want a more recent example … search out Dr Fauci and his disclosure (after a lot of pushing) of his investments which is still trickling out a bit at a time. There’s a brief sanitized public version of his statement of disclosure (the tip of the iceburg) and then a huge volume of royalty payments that are not normally disclosed to the public.

Is it bad to make a profit? No, I don’t have a problem with the concept of profits in a competitive market, because it shows you are doing something right. Should the guy who is in a key government position be getting a personal share of the private profits that directly relate to the exercise of a public duty? Hmmm, I think we can all see why there’s a problem there.

And wouldn’t you know it, that “discredited, anti-vax” chick was right, all along (speaking about Dr. Anthony Fauci):
Dr Judy Mikovits PhD Molecular Biologist on the Coronavirus Plandemic and Big Pharma Corruption

[7:51]
Mikki Willis, Father/Filmmaker: “How can any person who’s giving global advice for health own a patent in the solution in the vaccine? Isn’t that a conflict of interest, or shouldn’t it be?”
Dr. Judy Mikovits: “It is a conflict of interest. And in fact, this is one of the things that I’ve been saying, and would like to say to President Trump: repeal the Bayh-Dole Act.
Footage of Dr. Mark Lemley speaking: “Bayh-Dole fundamentally changed the way universities approach technology transfer, and you can see that best in the statistics. Universities obtain 16 times as many patents today as they did in 1980.
“Now, everybodyâs getting more patents, but still, universitiesâ share of all patents in the United States is more than five times greater than it was before Bayh-Dole. The situation has gotten so bad that one information technology industry official has publicly referred to universities as, quote, crack addicts, unquote, driving by, quote, small-minded tech transfer offices addicted to patent royalties.”
Also this (Skipping ahead to 10:15):
Willis: “Do you believe that this virus was created in a laboratory?”
Mikovits: “I wouldnât use the word âcreated,â but you canât say ânaturally occurringâ if it was by way of the laboratory. So, itâs very clear this virus was manipulated. This family of viruses was manipulated and studied in a laboratory, where the animals were taken into the laboratory. And this is what was released, whether deliberate or not. That cannot be naturally occurring.
“Somebody didnât go to a market, get a bat. The virus didnât jump directly to humans. Thatâs not how it works. Thatâs accelerated viral evolution. If it was a natural occurrence, it would take up to 800 years to occur. This occurred from SARS1 within a decade. Thatâs not naturally occurring.”
Willis: “And do you have any ideas of where this occurred?”
Mikovits: “Oh, yeah. Iâm sure it occurred between the North Carolina laboratories, Fort Detrick, US Army Research Institute of Infectious Disease, and the Wuhan laboratory.”
Footage of a Ben Swann report (his face and name aren’t shown, but his voice is recognizable: “$3.7 million flowed from the National Institutes of Health here in the US to the Wuhan lab in China, the same lab where many people have said that this coronavirus infection first originated. We also now know that NIAID, the department associated with the National Institutes of Health, of which Dr. Anthony Fauci is in control, had already conducting experiments with the Wuhan lab in the past in regard to coronavirus. If Dr. Anthony Fauci cannot be honest with the public about his connection to this lab, then Fauci has to go.”
Backing up these claims (though it appears she didn’t know about EcoHealth Alliance) are these articles:

Schwab is promoting technological ‘innovations’ towards which the intelligent part of the people have lately increasingly developed a critical attitude. Schwab is promoting an utopia of greater connectivity by means of modern technology. In the the end you will have smartphone functions implanted in your head so to speak. And he is envisioning technological innovations which allegedly lead to greater and intenser social and sensual pleasures.
Now, the intelligent and sensible part of the people throughout the years have become critical of smartphones, social media, gaming (which is a virtual reality) etc. They have realized that all this technology interferes with their lives, that it is hollow, that through social media they start to crave for attention of people they don’t really have a connection with, that it destroys their capacity of concentration and their being present in and their attention for local physical life, that they have exchanged the richness of real life for the hollow an satisfyingly illusions of virtual reality. Psychologists have also become aware of the destructive psychological influence of social media where it concerns children, and the destructive influence on their much needed privacy and psychological development. People have been fighting with addiction to the internet, gaming and social media.
Also the elites have started to discipline their children, they are aware that the presence of these ever distracting screens and virtual realities have a negative effect on the intelligence of their children.
Schwab is merely a brilliant networker, popularizer and demagogue frontman, promoting what seduces the masses, while they themselves are protecting their children from all these ever more dumbing down virtual realities. These elites seek to breed intelligence offspring, while seeking to dumb down the masses by means of the masses’ inherent obsession with socializing and desire based obsession with sensual experiences.
The WEF elites are themselves not at all interested in all these alleged improvements, these are merely to provide more play for the masses, to keep them dumb, and dumb them down ever more. Partly he is a popularizer speaking to the masses, the tech cultists and utopianists, but this is not the main part of the agenda.
Behind all the envisioned glamourous technological innovations, of which most is not backed up by real science and existing technology, it being all hype and make belief, there is plain classical demagogy and classical oligarchic striving towards power. Nothing new under the sun.
Critics, I suggest, should focus less on the sensational ‘conspiracy’ and power mongering part, it being plain classical theory and historical practice.
Instead they should focus on the fact that transhumanism is a glamorous hype which has no basis in realty, and many of it’s ‘utopian’ goals and visions are not supported by many people. And, that real life and nature provides a far more rich experience, nay that virtual life is a pseudo experience, and that real life is ultimately not controlled by anybody, and that it is freely given. Use your common sense and humanity, they are working and trying to overwhelm and impress through hype and glamour, through illusions. Meanwhile establishing the only thing which is real about it, ever more global control.
Schwab with his infantile visions is merely a frontman, his theories in as far as it concerns transhumanism, he collected and copied these from various tech cult fantasy prophets. Probably, having already one foot in the grave, he is not that stupid and gullible to think that these will all become true, but he needs that part to attract the gullible and the tech utopianists. But this man himself is concentrated, decidatedly working towards his goal, living a life which is counter to the type of life which he envisions and promotes, which is about being ever more always distracted and ‘connected’, ever being not yourself, he is a monk, a studied man, now and then performing the public function of popularizer. Schwab has studied bread and play for the masses, and power to the glorious elite, who will breed intelligent offspring, in isolation from the masses’ tech utopia. He is also seizing on the addiction to technology and virtual reality of society itself, a popularizer and an opportunist as far as it concerns his popularizing activities. His theories of power are real, his utopia is an illusion of extreme materialist seduction, everything provided by a grid, owned by the powerful, disowning what is yours by nature. For the stupid. the slavish and the gullible.
Bob, Thanks for sharing your research. I’ve listened to all 3 parts. Are we being duped by Trump and family? Please investigate this further:

Whether you believe in God or not, this message is a “must-read”!!!
Throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that Jesus foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In Revelation 13:16-18, we will read,
“He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles–Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why’s that? Revelation 13:17 states that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, or one–not one OR the other!
This is where it comes together. It is incredible how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. This is information from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip:
“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the worldâa microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, criminal record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the âmarkâ spoken about in Revelation 13:16â18. The original Greek word for âmarkâ is âcharagma,â which means a âscratch or etching.â It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is âchi xi stigma,â with the last part, âstigma,â also meaning âto stick or prick.â Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”
Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:
“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
You can read more about it here–and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: [url=https://2ruth.org]HTTPS://2RUTH.ORG[/url]
The third angel’s warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'”
Great hope is in our midst, and is coming in a mighty way–the greatest revival for Jesus in the history of the world where we will see the most souls come to Him of all tribes, tongues, nations, and peoples (Rev. 7:9-10); for we have this promise in God’s Word in the midst of these dark times:
“Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years (not literal–rather a spiritual label for time spent in eternity); and he cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal on him, so that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years were finished. But after these things he must be released for a little while (when the Antichrist and false prophet will rise up and God will test the world).” (Revelation 20:1-3)
“The coming of the lawless one (the Antichrist) is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)”
Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?
So what about his name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “…I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for “lightning”: “baĚraĚq” (baw-rawk)
In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”
In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: “bamah”–Pronounced (bam-maw’)
In Hebrew, the letter “Waw” or “Vav” is often transliterated as a “U” or “O,” and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”
So when Jesus said to His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall as lightning from heaven, if this were to be declared by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, and I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.
The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we write those names backward (the devil does things backwards) it would be “ailam ahsatan”. If we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the false god of Islam), we would get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so!
Obama’s campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In the Isalmic religion, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man’s appearance is the sun rising in the west.
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earthâto every nation, tribe, tongue, and peopleâ saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'” (Revelation 14:6-7)
Why have the words of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close (the Quran about 110 languages)? Because the same Spirit of God (YHVH) who created all people likewise transcends all people; therefore the power of His Word is not limited by people; while all other religions are man-made, therefore they tend to primarily stay within their own culture. The same God who speaks to all people through His creation of the heavens and earth that draws all people around the world likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?
Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?
God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has written in our hearts, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, murder, and so forth.
We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh about 2,000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.
The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood with His last word’s on the cross crying out, “It is finished!” (John 19:30).
For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.
This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.
So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), where God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death; now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man walking in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.
Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to see and enter the Kingdom of God in John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.
Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:
Jesus says,
âNot everyone who says to Me, âLord, Lord,â shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, âLord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?â And then I will declare to them, âI never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!â (Matthew 7:21-23)
“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’
Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’
And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8)
