Merkel, Putin, Trudeau “all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum,” said Schwab in 2017.
QUICK FACTS:
- Social media this week resurfaced video of World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government in 2017 telling the audience that he was “very proud” of the fact that former Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel and Russian President Vladimir Putin had been able to “penetrate the cabinets” of their respective nation’s governments.
- Schwab was proud because both Merkel and Putin were students of the WEF’s “Young Global Leaders” initiative, a nonprofit group that trains up young world leaders to be “aligned with the World Economic Forum’s mission,” according to the organization’s website.
- “They all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum,” boasted Schwab. “But what we are very proud of now; the young generation like Prime Minister Trudeau, [the] president of Argentina, and so on; that we penetrate the cabinets.”
“MORE THAN HALF” OF CANADIAN PM JUSTIN TRUDEAU’S CABINET:
- In the video, Schwab goes on to describe a gathering he attended on behalf of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, during which he noticed that “more than half” of Trudeau’s cabinet were also Young Global Leaders alumni.
- “I know that half of his cabinet, or even more than half of his cabinet are actually Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum,” said Schwab.
- “Right. And that’s true in Argentina, too. Wow,” said David Gergen—former adviser to presidents Nixon, Ford, Regan, and Clinton—who was interviewing Schwab.
- “It’s true in Argentina,” Schwab responded, adding, “And it’s true in France, now,” referring to then-newly elected French President Emmanuel Macron.
BACKGROUND:
- The circulating video is a clip taken from a larger event during which Schwab delivered the 2017 Malcolm H. Wiener Lecture on International Political Economy, entitled “Strengthening Collaboration in a Fractured World.”
- Gergen is listed as a “contributor” to the World Economic Forum on the organization’s website (here).
- You can watch the full exchange between Schwab and Gergen on Harvard’s website here.
- American Faith has reported how, in a video produced by the WEF, its organization predicts all of humanity will “own nothing. And you’ll be happy.”
- In the same video, WEF goes on to predict by the year 2030, “The U.S. won’t be the world’s leading superpower.”
- American Faith also reported how one WEF publication titled “Welcome To 2030: I Own Nothing, Have No Privacy And Life Has Never Been Better” imagines future humanity will “have no real privacy,” and goes on to say that future individuals will think to themselves, “Nowhere I can go and not be registered. I know that, somewhere, everything I do, think and dream of is recorded. I just hope that nobody will use it against me.”
- The Transnational Institute characterizes the WEF’s Great Reset agenda as “a silent global coup d’etat” to capture world dominance.
- WEF’s Davos Agenda 2022 virtual event took place Jan 17-21, 2022, featuring heads of state and government, CEOs, and other leaders who proposed plans in accordence with the WEF’s vision.
