In his 20th. January article in the Wall Street Journal, Walter Russell Mead succinctly encapsulated many of our misgivings about the Davoisie, a delicious designation for the power-hungry hypocrites, scolds and sanctimonious hand-wringers who impose themselves on the lederhosen clad inhabitants of tiny Davos every year.
The World Bank informs us, reliably I’m sure, that there are just over 5 billion people throughout the world who earn $2.00 or less per day. None of them will be found wandering around Davos unless one includes Greta Thunberg, an unemployed under-educated 17 year old assiduously playing truant, whose speeches are obviously written for her and whose histrionic stage managed appearances give her the aspect of a ventriloquist’s dummy performing a rehearsed routine, a mere utensil of her master’s agenda.
One almost feels sorry for her but not for her child abusing parents who doubtless now possess more than one bank account thanks to the largess of the senior contingent of the climate change fantasts who have no qualms about exploiting a minor in order to distribute major miscalculations that serve their ambitions.
“Ambition creeps as well as soars”, wrote Burke but there is precious little creeping going on in Davos whose attendees, convinced that they know better what is good for the rest of us, are determined to make us believe their preposterous assumptions and predictions based on computer modelling and, of course, be grateful to them for their devotion to a one-world-government with an anthem nobody sings and a flag nobody salutes.
What we are witnessing in country after country and in unelected, unrepresentative self-serving organizations like the WEF is exactly the opposite of the French Revolution. The elites have mounted their high-horse, an animal they always keep closely tethered, and have turned on the people. It is the attraction of overwhelming power by which they have been seduced not the felicitous progress of mankind to which they disingenuously claim to be dedicated.

It is the call and attraction of unbridled power not the progress of mankind by which they are seduced and motivated. This should be obvious even
