DAVOS, Switzerland — “The rich,” wrote Scott Fitzgerald, “are different from you and me.” By legend, Ernest Hemingway complimented his firm grasp of the obvious: “Yes, they have more money.”
In a modern global economy, they also have more of other things: More invitations, more connections, more caterers.
Here’s what they don’t have, most of them, any more than you do: Original or penetrating insights into the large political currents buffeting the United States and the world.
Just what are these elites talking and scheming about here in the Alps at the annual convening of the World Economic Forum? It turns out they are talking (too crowded to actually scheme)

Sounds like Politico has discovered what most of us have instinctively known - the Davos gathering is just a bunch of highly credentialed busybodies networking for the next step on the ladder.

The only good thing about these people is they have no forethought. Just like wind turbines and solar panels. Once it snows, the panels don't get sunlight. Or if it's cloudy and rainy. The turbines need electric motors as often as not. They are trying really hard to stop farming and to destroy our food growers. With billions of people in the world, do they not realize we outnumber them and in the US citizens have guns, lots of them. It will likely get nasty but humanity will survive and thrive, like it or not.

Occam’s razor. They sound dumb because they are.

And they plot on how to get richer at our expense, rather than by inventing or improving anything.

Politico is trying to downplay the growing awakening to the WEF's global plans for population control through abortion and transhumanism; their plans for 15-minute cities, electric vehicles, the war against private farming, home ownership and small businesses. The author is portraying the Davos crowd as no different than the folks attending a suburban backyard party. He is mocking the conservative press coverage as overwrought nonsense whose only purpose is to put a soon-to-be convicted felon in the White House. We certainly can't have the plebes catch onto the fact that they are the next endangered species on the planet. You could almost smell the flop sweat reading the article.

A bunch of "bs artists" who see themselves as superior to the rest of us and like to hear themselves bloviate while trying to sound erudite but sound like pompous, arrogant "bs artists". The problem is, they have a lot of money and a lot of power to try to control the universe, which of course they cannot do, but will try, and dang it, even if millions of people die and they blow up the cosmos.

They think Commie-La is smart, Joe a great leader and J. Effin Carry is a visionary.

Timber Queen nails it (#6).
I.E. according to Politico everything Alex Jones is worried about is pointless and non-sense.
There are no conspiracies, everyone is just trying to live life according to his own circumstances and needs. Big deal.
Not to worry about global government, WHO, Patriot Act, stolen elections, etc., etc. Ho hum.
Ever since I met the LORD Jesus Christ (yes, it does happen) I have wondered how the Mark of the Beast is going to come about.
I thought it would happen much more quickly, but I am 100% persuaded it will happen.
Sure looks like a lot of pieces are moving into place, but remember, Jesus said if it were possible even the very elect will be deceived.
By the way, Tucker Carlson just did an interview with Alex Jones. It's a pretty good overview of the state of the world.
Also, remember that only God knows the day and the time.
Good news, there is a hiding place (see Isaiah).

If you live in an echo chamber, have lots of money and a bunch of people around you, feeding off your money, agreeing with every dumb idea you spout, you're the smartest guy in the room.

Say what you will about them....they are pushing forward with their plan to take away our sovereignty in America by empowering the WHO and the UN to dictate policy within our country.

No they're not like the rest of us, but they cansee what's coming at them. #6 is all over it. I'd make one observation though.
I don't believe DJT is into retribution. He's a dealmaker. He has let the karma of winning and eliminating the 'losers' from power in the future be payback enough. He'll let the most egregious violators quietly drift away. Unless they make trouble.
Look at his past. He is a dealmaker! And then he moves onto the next one. And not everybody is going to like all of the deals he makes IMO
