Pepe Escobar – The Unz Review Jan 16, 2023
Shadows are falling / And I’ve been here all day / It’s too hot to sleep / And time is running away / Feel like my soul / has turned into steel /I’ve still got the scars / That the sun didn’t heal / There’s not even room enough / To be anywhere / Lord it’s not dark yet, / but it’s getting there
Bob Dylan, Not Dark Yet
Lights! Action! Reset!
The World Economic Forum (WEF)’s Davos Freak Show is back in business on Monday.
The mainstream media of the collective West, in unison, will be spinning non-stop, for a week, all the “news” that are fit to print to extol new declinations of The Great Reset, re-baptized The Great Narrative, but actually framed as a benign offer by “stakeholder capitalism”. These are the main planks of the shady platform of a shady NGO registered in Cologny, a tony Geneva suburb.
The list of Davos attendees was duly leaked. Proverbially, it’s an Anglo-American Exceptionalist fun fest, complete with intel honchos such as the US Director of National Intelligence, Avril “Madam Torture” Haines; the head of MI6 Richard Moore; and FBI director Christopher Wray.
Remixed Diderot and D’Alembert Encyclopedias could be written about the Davos pathology – where a hefty list of multibillionaires, heads of state and corporate darlings (owned by BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and co.) “engage” in selling Demented Dystopia packages to the unsuspecting masses.
But let’s cut to the chase and focus on a few panels next week – which could easily be mistaken for Straight to Hell sessions.
The Tuesday, January 17 list is particularly engaging. It features a “De-Globalization or Re-Globalization?” panel with speakers Ian Bremmer, Adam Tooze, Niall Ferguson, Péter Szijjártó and Ngaire Woods. Three Atlanticists/Exceptionalists stand out, especially the ultra-toxic Ferguson.
After “In Defense of Europe”, featuring a bunch of nullities including Poland’s Andrjez Duda, attendees will be greeted with a Special Season in Hell (sorry, Rimbaud) featuring none other than EC dominatrix Ursula von der Leyen, known by a vast majority of Germans as Ursula von der Leichen (“Ursula of Cadavers”) in a tag team with WEF mastermind, Third Reich emulator Klaus “Nosferatu” Schwab.
Rumors are that Lucifer, in his privileged underground abode, is green with envy.
There’s also “Ukraine: What Next?” with another bunch of nullities, and “War in Europe: Year 2” featuring Moldova woke chick Maia Sandu and Finnish party girl Sanna Marin.
In the War Criminal section, pride of place goes to “A Conversation with Henry Kissinger: Historical Perspectives on War”, where Dr. K. will sell all his trademark Divide and Rule permutations. Added sulphur will be provided by Thucydides strangler Graham Allison.
In his Special Address, “Liver Sausage” Chancellor Olaf Scholz will be side by side with Nosferatu, hoping he won’t be – literally – grilled.
Then, on Wednesday, January 18, comes the apotheosis: “Restoring Security and Peace” with speakers Fareed Zakaria – the US establishment’s pet brown man; NATO’s Jens “War is Peace” Stoltenberg; Andrzej Duda – again; and Canadian warmonger Chrystia Freeland – widely rumored to become the next NATO Secretary-General.
And it gets juicier: the coke comedian posing as warlord may join via zoom from Kiev.
The notion that this panel is entitled to emit judgments about “peace” deserves nothing less than its own Nobel Peace Prize.
How to monetize the whole world
Cynics of all persuasions may be excused for lamenting Mr. Zircon – currently on oceanic patrol encompassing the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and of course “Mare Nostrum” Mediterranean – won’t be presenting his business card at Davos.
Analyst Peter Koenig has developed a convincing thesis that the WEF, the WHO and NATO may be running some sort of sophisticated death cult. The Great Reset does mingle merrily with NATO’s agenda as agent provocateur, financer and weaponizer of the proxy Empire vs. Russia war in black hole Ukraine. NAKO – an acronym for North Atlantic Killing Organization – would be more appropriate in this case.
As Koenig summarizes it, “NATO enters any territory where the ‘conventional’ media lie-machine, and social engineering are failing or not completing their people-ordaining goals fast enough.”
In parallel, very few people are aware that on June 13, 2019 in New York, a secret deal was clinched between the UN, the WEF, an array of oligarch-weaponized NGOs – with the WHO in the front line – and last but not least, the world’s top corporations, which are all owned by an interlinked maze with Vanguard and BlackRock at the center.
The practical result of the deal is the UN Agenda 2030.
Virtually every government in the NATOstan area and the “Western Hemisphere” (US establishment definition) has been hijacked by Agenda 2030 – which translates, essentially, as hoarding, privatizing and financializing all the earth’s assets, under the pretext of “protecting” them.
Translation: the marketization and monetization of the entire natural world (see, for instance, here, here and here.)
Davos superstar shills such as insufferable bore Niall Ferguson are just well rewarded vassals: western intellectuals of the Harvard, Yale and Princeton mould that would never dare bite the hand that feeds them.
Ferguson just wrote a column on Bloomberg titled “All is Not Quiet on the Eastern Front” – basically to peddle the risk of WWIII, on behalf of his masters, blaming of course “China as the arsenal of autocracy”.
Among serial high-handed inanities, this one stands out. Ferguson writes, “There are two obvious problems with US strategy (…) The first is that if algorithmic weapons systems are the equivalent of tactical nuclear weapons, Putin may eventually be driven to using the latter, as he clearly lacks the former.”
Cluelessness here is a euphemism. Ferguson clearly has no idea “algorithmic weapons” mean; if he’s referring to electronic warfare, the US may have been able to maintain superiority for a while in Ukraine, but that’s over.
Well, that’s typical Ferguson – who wrote a whole Rothschild hagiography just like his column, drinking from the Rothschild archives that appeared to have been sanitized as he knows next to nothing meaningful about their history.
Ferguson has “deduced” that Russia is weak and China is strong. Nonsense. Both are strong – and Russia is more advanced technologically than China in their advanced offensive and defensive missile development, and can beat the US in a nuclear war as Russian air space is sealed by layered defenses such as the S-400 all the way to the already tested S-500s and designed S-600s.
As far as semiconductor chips, the advantage that Taiwan has in chip manufacture is in mass production of the most advanced chips; but China and Russia can fabricate the chips necessary for military use, though not engage in mass commercial production. The US has an important advantage here commercially with Taiwan, but that’s not a military advantage.
Ferguson gives away his game when he carps about the need to “deter a nascent Axis-like combination of Russia, Iran and China from risking simultaneous conflict in three theaters: Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Far East.”
Here we have trademark Atlanticist demonization of the top three vectors of Eurasia integration mixed with a toxic cocktail of ignorance and arrogance: it’s NATO that is stoking “conflict” in Eastern Europe; and it’s the Empire that is being expelled from the “Far East” (oh, that’s so colonial) and soon from the Middle East (actually West Asia).
An AMGOT tale
Nobody with an IQ over room temperature will expect Davos next week to discuss any aspect of the NATO vs. Eurasia existential war seriously – not to mention propose diplomacy. So I’ll leave you with yet another typical tawdry story about how the Empire – who rules over Davos – deals in practice with its vassals.
While in Sicily earlier this year I learned that an ultra high-value Pentagon asset had landed in Rome, in haste, as part of an unscheduled visit. A few days later the reason for the visit was printed in La Repubblica, one of the papers of the toxic Agnelli clan.
That was a Mafia scam: a face-to-face “suggestion” for the Meloni government to imperatively provide Kiev, as soon as possible, with the costly anti-Samp-T missile system, developed by an European consortium, Eurosam, uniting MBDA Italy, MBDA France and Thales.
Italy possesses only 5 batteries of this system, not exactly brilliant against ballistic missiles but efficient against cruise missiles.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan had already called Palazzo Chigi to announce the “offer you can’t refuse”. Apparently that was not enough, thus the hasty envoy trip. Rome will have to toe the line. Or else. After all, never forget the terminology employed by US generals to designate Sicily, and Italy as a whole: AMGOT.
American government occupied territory.
Have fun with the Davos freak show.
The writer is a NWO shill peddling fear porn. He calls the NWO, the ‘collective West’, which is the sort of patter we hear on the Duran, lest they upset their masters on YouTube.
Does Pepe Escobar need to drop his pants and bend over for the censors at The Unz Review?
The WEF are old beer. But what is shocking is that they get so much air time. King Charlie is crapping himself over the fact that Harry knows too much, especially about he and the wife he had murdered. This being just one of 100s of subjects which deserve way more scrutiny than the poxy WEF.
We have two nuclear superpowers who are on a war footing to fight the NWO Nazi sect, and pillocks are listening to the wank tards in Davos, which is really just a corporate lush, which many will stay away from.
Hungary’s Péter Szijjártó will probably prove to be the odd man out on this panel. But he is no scaredy-cat nor fool. This will make interesting listening.
If they were really Nazis, trying to defend White people against Talmudists and Satanists, I would support them, but they are no more Nazi than Unz
PS to my post above, January 17, 2023 at 10:32 am
Now, this is funny: Hungary’s Péter Szijjártó was on the Davos ‘Globalisation or de-Globalisation’ panel. Here is proof (see for picture only; translaiion is in Hungarian:
https://magyarnemzet.hu/kulfold/2023/01/szijjarto-a-kovetkezo-idoszak-sokkal-rosszabb-lehet-mint-a-hideghaboru .
But the Politico video airbrushed him out! (If someone has found another video of this panel’s proceedings, please provide a link.)
Szijjártó had upset the other panel members, for he begins with an apology to them. But I cannot work out what the English simultaenous translator in the Hungarian video is saying. So there is no knowing what upset the other panelists. And I should love to know!
lewis jones: National Socialism or Nazism was just an Atlantacist ruse to whip up the Germans so they’d vaguely support Hitler, who was a British asset.
Nazism is just like socialisn, or communism, or capitalism. They are constructs for thicko sheeple.
Unfortunately, we are stuck with their terms for the purpose of civil discourse.
But the basic tennent is true, that after WW2, NATO was setup to carryon with what WW2 Germany started, or was setup to start by the UK and US.
They had countless decades to stamp out nationalism in UKraine, and the God like status of Stepan Bandera. But they did no such thing, because this malevolent mind set was always going to be useful in the future, and the UK and US has done it again.
The Russians don’t call them Nazis for the fun of it. In fact, they might have even more sheeple support in the West, if they didn’t call them Nazis.
California is considering giving every black long term resident total debt forgiveness, and $5 million cash, that’s each. So if it were 13,000, that would be $50 billion. Of course, the number is going to be way over 13k.
This is technocratic neo-feudal fascism, or to keep it simple, Nazism, because it isn’t communism, it ain’t socialism, and it’s not capitalism.
it is interesting that the Western powers have to have meetings such as Davos to either advise the various attendees on their plans or actually to get some feedback to them. From “globalism” which is getting to be dirty world now associated with a host of massive pretext perils deliberately created to roll out their centralized solutions and top-down controls, (e.g., global warming, economic crashes, limited natural resources and food supplies, mass migrations, the Covid plademic, to name but a few), they are now considering “de-globalization” which is a switch in the middle of the NWO script.
According to some, Russia by invading the Ukraine threw a monkey wrench into the UN-WEF-NWO works. However, the evidence is that the same globalist powers, and particularly the Rothschild money-power controlling the IMF in the Ukraine, together with US and UK vice, military, intelligence experts have been busy since 2014 persecuting everything Russian in the east of the Ukraine, and then in 2019 the Mossad theatrical network famous for 9/11 entered the scene making the comedian actor, Zelensky, the head of the nation, who incidentally since then really turned the burner as high as possible in eastern Ukraine against anyone and anything smelling Russian. Very strange they would do that when the majority of the people in the areas they besieged were Russian-speaking and had no-break-away intentions.
So, in just looking at that sordid history which the rest of the world knows is typical of the Anglo-American-Israeli Axis, we can conclude one of two things. Either this Axis deliberately provoked the Russians to invade to protect the Russian-speaking people, or Russia is just playing a role in yet another massive engineered fake peril where the solution for peace and to prevent a WWIII and a nuclear holocaust will be another UN one where the powers agree to the pre-arranged UN centralized controls to settle all territorial disputes. The Russian government which was a major player in the Coivd crimes against its own people was essentially supporting more UN centralized controls over health and basic rights, but it may be earnest in this war and not playing a major role in the NWO agenda, but I seriously doubt it.
Why then are the Western potentates backtracking on the globalist agendas, if they are? My hunch is that it has a lot to do with the vaccine mess blowing up in their faces, and now the progenitors of the UN-WEF agendas have lost face and a great deal of support with the vaccine harms and all of the NWO pretexts being exposed.
