Throughout my career, it’s become increasingly difficult to follow all the various things I get accused of being. Depending on what hour of the day it is, I may either be in the Illuminati or a Satanist. I’ve been accused of being tied to George Soros, in cahoots with Klaus Schwab, and connected to the World Economic Forum. I can’t even keep up with it all myself. There are people in this world — people even on the conservative side — who believe this nonsense. The problem with this is far bigger than there being false rumors circulating about me. The real problem is, people’s minds have been so bent, they distrust everything and everyone, and this mentality is hurting our cause.
For the record, I do not like George Soros. I believe he is an incredibly evil man. I have dedicated hours to trying to expose the ways in which he is using his money to corrupt the West. I believe he has an allegiance to the East, and I have questions about his childhood. His media arm has done numerous hit pieces on me from the very first time I appeared on the scene and they continue to do so, attempting to get me cancelled. Despite all these efforts, some people still believe I am somehow tied to George Soros. I was tagged in a picture with one of my best friends whose last name is Schwab, and I was immediately connected to Klaus Schwab — because, obviously, every person on the planet who has the last name Schwab must be related to Klaus Schwab. And because I was connected to Klaus Schwab, I was also related to the World Economic Forum and then also connected to George Soros.
Being accused of having a connection to Soros via the World Economic Forum via Schwab via my friend is not the first weird allegation that’s been made about me. Once, when I was filming my show with a studio audience, I paused in thought, looking to my left and folding my hands.

I often look to the side when I’m thinking, and I’m very Talladega Nights, in the sense that I don’t know what to do with my hands. (But that, of course, would be too reasonable of a reason for that pose.) Someone grabbed a screenshot, and this image has been shared all over. According to this Tweet, what it actually means is that I’m a freemason deceiver shill, etc.

Clearly, I’m not vaccinated. I am very passionately against vaccines. I have an entire series dedicated to showing people vaccines have always been a scam for children. So getting pizza without a vaccine? Challenge accepted. We got someone to get us a whole pizza, and I took a picture to brag about managing to pull that off. Then suddenly the comments on Instagram had me somehow tied in with Pizzagate and the Clintons and then George Soros. Me. Candace Owens. I couldn’t even eat a slice of pizza trying to be funny to show how I skirted the law in New York City without people associating me with children being abused.

What is happening now is that people who are on our side are no longer able to even see straight. And I understand the distrust. We have been lied to over and over again. There are huge questions that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-medias-cover-up-of-barack-obamas-alleged-illicit-gay-affairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have not been answered</a>. But when people are only promoting the worst evils for every single person, that is not helping our cause. It’s hurting it. As an example, I do not support Ron DeSantis being the next president of the United States. I think he is a great governor, but I also think he’s fake and has too much donor money. But what I say about him has nothing to do with whether I like him or not. Yet now, people seem to think if they don’t like someone, they’re being fraudulent so they need to smear them.
Vivek Ramaswamy is facing this right now because, years ago, a scholarship he was awarded to go to law school came from Soros. But context matters — if you care about the truth — and he has <a href="https://www.glennbeck.com/radio/vivek-ramaswamy-slams-3-lies-presidential-run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">explained this in great detail</a>. I applied for every single scholarship I could get my hands on. When my guidance counselor said scholarships would reduce costs, I applied, I wrote essays, and I had no idea where the scholarship money was coming from. My family couldn’t afford to put me through college, and I was trying to get money any way I could. Wise students try to get as much money as possible. It doesn’t make them fundamentally dishonest human beings who don’t deserve to be in the discourse of politics, as some have labeled Ramaswamy.
You don’t have to like Ramaswamy, Trump, DeSantis, or even me. But we all need to be meaningful and sincere in our critiques. Can we at least be honest? Can we be real? If I get attacked, people should at least know that a girl who came from absolutely nothing wouldn’t be in the Illuminati because the truth is, she just doesn’t know what to do with her hands when she’s thinking. People have moved from the red pill to the black pill and are no longer able to process reality whatsoever. They believe that everything and everyone is corrupt. Everything is a conspiracy theory. But we must be realistic.
The Left watches the media and believes it to be reality and can’t think on their own. In the same way we say the Left is demented because they believe absolutely everything, we have a small segment on the Right that is becoming equally as demented because they believe absolutely nothing. It’s opposite sides of the same coin.
The black pill is becoming dangerous. And we need to get real. Otherwise, we are just hurting our movement, our cause, and ourselves.

World Economic Forum

Many people have warned me that talking about George Soros is dangerous. Others have told me that it is brave. If you comment on him on X, formerly Twitter, a whole network of blue checkmarks flood the replies saying you are anti-Semitic. But Soros does not really care that he is Jewish. He does not hold any allegiance to Jews. We need only to look where he spends his money. His financial records prove he is anti-Israel. But that is only the tip of the iceberg. 
In January, Matt Palumbo published an in-depth biography on Soros titled “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Man-Behind-Curtain-Inside-Network/dp/163758332X" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Man Behind the Curtain: Inside the Secret Network of George Soros</a>.” Palumbo joined me to discuss his book a few months ago because I wanted to learn more. Soros has been on my radar for a long time. It seems like every time something terrible happens, that “something” can be traced back to Soros’ dollars. I want to continue talking about what I am learning, what Palumbo shared with me, and what we need to be on the lookout for moving forward. 
Born to a Jewish family, Soros grew up in Hungary. During World War II, the Nazis set up Jewish councils in various countries to do their bidding against their own people. As Palumbo shared with me, some who participated were forced and others may have believed they would be spared from Nazi brutality. Soros was one of the children recruited into one of these councils. One of Soros’ assigned tasks was to help confiscate property of Jews living in his community. In what has become an infamous <a href="https://www.worldcat.org/title/60-minutes-george-soros/oclc/934520933" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;60 Minutes&#8221; episode</a>, Steve Kroft asks Soros about this experience: “That sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?” Kroft was clearly giving Soros an out, a chance to express his regret, or perhaps his conviction, from having been involved. But without pausing, Soros vehemently shakes his head saying, “Not at all.” While smiling. Kroft had paved an easy path for Soros to gain sympathy from viewers, but Soros blew right past any chance of that.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/convicting-a-murderer#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace&#8217;s new documentary: &#8216;Convicting a Murderer&#8217;</a></h4>
If Soros had been forced into this council in an attempt to survive as a child, we could all sympathize. But it was Soros’ response as an adult that is disturbing. The coldness of his response is unnerving. Not only was dehumanization apparently not difficult for Soros, but he also seemed to have no remorse. It is bizarre he did not identify what happened as horrific or comment on feeling sad. Instead, he nonchalantly and very plainly confirmed he did not feel guilt. His dad, Tivadar, even said in his <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Masquerade-Incredible-George-Outsmarted-Gestapo/dp/1611450241">autobiography</a> “Masquerade: The Incredible True Story of How George Soros’ Father Outsmarted the Gestapo” that Soros seemed to have enjoyed participating with the Nazis. Needless to say, Soros is not a practicing Jew, nor is he welcome in his own home country. But Hungary is not the only country Soros is after. 
George Soros wants to see the end of America. It is clear he is fostering America’s demise — the evidence is everywhere, especially his wallet. He has spent millions to fund electing DAs into positions of power across America. More liberal officials mean more chaos, which the Left seems to love. Palumbo said in all his research, he was unable to find one rogue DA in any of Soros’ funded districts to show where crime went down. Soros is ensuring that criminals are turned loose to run free on the streets. He wants to see police defunded, and he consistently donates to these initiatives. But he is being smart about it. As Palumbo told me, he essentially funnels money through one cause to make it to another, like Black Lives Matter. So he is passing money through a chain, making it appear as though he is giving to one cause, when really, his money is making its way to another. He gives to organizations that support a plethora of leftist causes and relies on everyone’s financial stupidity not to recognize it. Then, as another safeguard, his network of fact-checkers can cover his tracks. He is connected to people at practically all the major media outlets. So, most articles defend him or reframe the story entirely. And how does he control them? He funds them. His fact-checkers protect him while anyone else is afraid to expose him — since anyone else’s reputation would stand a good chance of being destroyed. 
It is no mystery George Soros hates America. It is, however, a mystery as to why. Everything he is doing is forcing the Western hemisphere and America to spiral. He does nothing to help the Jewish people whose lives were ruined after the war. He does not give to Holocaust memorials. He does not support Israel. He obviously does not like the results that came from the war and believes it to have been an unrighteous ending. What does he believe should have happened post-World War II? Why does he have so much hatred for the people who liberated him? How could he spend his life having such contempt for Americans? 
The CIA and the FBI are apparently unconcerned. But I think we should all be wondering why. We should be concerned that the FBI is not looking at Soros. Instead of dissolving his work, they are helping maintain it. Perhaps it is not just the journalists, DAs, and fact-checkers under his thumb. 
If we connect the dots, we might wonder about his relationship with the CIA and FBI as well. 
George Soros is 92-years-old, but his legacy will live on. He is made sure of that. He has four sons and one daughter, but his son Alex is the one who will likely fill his father’s role. We can expect cities to be full of more crime, have more criminals wandering the streets, see more underhanded political dealings, and attempt more of the demise of America. We need to be keeping a close eye on this man — and his legacy. Soros is not going anywhere, but if it is up to him, America might be.

What You Need To Know About George Soros And Why It Matters

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro exposed the powerful global entities working to deplatform and demonetize conservative voices in a new <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1686109381761318912?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter thread</a>. 
Shapiro explained in the Monday thread how the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a> (WEF), the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA), and NewsGuard were all working together to crack down on so-called “misinformation” and dictate what media is “safe” for advertising.  
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
🧵Here’s how the World Economic Forum is quietly working to demonetize and deplatform right-of-center voices, including <a href="https://twitter.com/realDailyWire?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realDailyWire</a>, using authoritarian tactics and hall monitor “fact-checkers” like <a href="https://twitter.com/NewsGuardRating?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NewsGuardRating</a>. <a href="https://t.co/xgukS5n6d5">https://t.co/xgukS5n6d5</a>
&mdash; Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1686109381761318912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 31, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The WFA, which <a href="https://wfanet.org/knowledge/item/2017/01/30/Agency-Trading-Desks-still-dominate-programmatic-but-advertisers-are-demanding-a-new-more-transparent-relationship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">represents</a> 90% of “global marketing communications,” launched the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) in 2019. Soon after, the World Economic Forum <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ben-shapiro-takes-on-corporations-behind-censorship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">adopted</a> GARM as one of its “flagship” projects. 
“GARM is an unholy alliance between huge advertisers and social media companies like Google’s YouTube, China’s TikTok, Meta’s Facebook &amp; Instagram, and even Twitter/X and Snapchat. GARM developed something they call the ‘brand safety floor &amp; suitability framework,’” Shapiro explained. 
The Daily Wire co-founder said the framework might be fine if it stuck to things like blocking child pornography, but it also included cracking down on viewpoints that GARM found objectionable. 
“But their authoritarian nature kicked in, &amp; they decided to ban cultural commentary they don&#8217;t approve of, like when we say men can&#8217;t be women,” Shapiro said. 
“Legacy media, new media, and even independent podcasters are subject to these rules. If you violate them and say true things the elites don&#8217;t like, they can blacklist you, demonetize you, or deplatform you,” he added. 
Shapiro said that he doesn’t think that WEF chairman Klaus Schwab believes that transgender-identifying influencer Dylan Mulvaney is actually a woman, but that supporting that position degrades family and social fabric, “making power easier to take from the top.” He added that it also makes the activists marching against capitalism now on the side of the powerful. 
One of the organizations that “helps” advertisers meet GARM standards is NewsGuard, which rates American media on supposedly apolitical criteria. According to NewsGuard, it helps <a href="https://www.newsguardtech.com/press/newsguard-offers-targeted-services-free-audits-to-help-brands-meet-new-garm-misinformation-standards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">identify</a> so-called “misinformation” that is “inappropriate for advertising support.”
“The little compliance crusaders at NewsGuard engage in performative virtue signaling by going around issuing scores to media outlets based on their allegedly ‘apolitical’ criteria,” Shapiro said. 
The partnership has made even some lawmakers concerned. House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) subpoenaed officials from GARM and the WFA, saying that the two appeared to be facilitating “collusion among their members in a manner that may violate U.S. antitrust law.”
The end goal of the initiatives, Shapiro explained, is to control information and restrict what people can and cannot be exposed to.
“There are certain industries where a violation of antitrust law isn’t going to result in disaster. The Left’s increasing desire to monopolize news and commentary isn&#8217;t one of them. Take the time to know the players like your freedom depends on it, because it does,” Shapiro concluded.

Ben Shapiro Details The Global Entities Working To ‘Demonetize And Deplatform’ Conservative Voices

Ben Shapiro

Fact Check

Media

World

There&#8217;s a group of people who control what you are allowed to see — the news you read, the videos you watch, the posts you engage with.
You haven&#8217;t heard of them. You don&#8217;t know their names, but they determine, through methods both direct and indirect, whether you are allowed to be exposed to particular messages. Their decisions can bankrupt companies, silence voices, and fundamentally shift cultural norms. Who are these people and how do they do this?
Well, at the top level you have a network of global elites who have created a universal framework full of guidelines and ratings designed to enforce “approved” narratives and punish disapproved ones. It sounds like a conspiracy theory, except it isn&#8217;t a secret and we&#8217;re not guessing. 
First, you have the World Economic Forum, the WEF, and their platform for shaping the future of media, entertainment, and culture. Second, you have the World Federation of Advertisers, the WFA, who represent mega-corporations that control 90% of global advertising dollars. WFA members are a who&#8217;s who of global business and include some of our recent wokeified favorites like Bud Light&#8217;s parent company AB InBev, Hershey, Procter &amp; Gamble, Lego, and Disney.
There is barely a billionaire Fortune 500 CEO, heavyweight philanthropist, government, or woke nonprofit that isn&#8217;t associated with the WEF or the WFA.
In 2019, the WFA established the Global Alliance for Responsible Media or GARM. Within months, the WEF adopted GARM as part of its platform for shaping the future of media, entertainment, and culture. GARM is a cross-industry alliance that brings these mega-corporations — the advertisers — together with big tech companies like Meta who owns Facebook and Instagram, Google owned YouTube, the CCP’s TikTok, and even Snapchat and Pinterest.
This unholy alliance created something they call the Brand Safety Floor &amp; Suitability Framework. Think of Brand Safety as a dog whistle for censorship. They say it themselves: The Brand Safety Floor means, “Content not appropriate for any advertising support.” In other words, if you publish content that violates these guidelines, you will be blacklisted from 90% of the advertising revenue in the marketplace.
So what have these global elites decided to put in their censorship framework? They started with things we can all universally agree on, like preventing the distribution of child pornography or the advocacy of graphic terrorist activity. But they don&#8217;t draw the line at what is objectively criminal, abusive, or dangerous. They continue expanding the guidelines to include far more subjective parameters.
For example, the framework lists subjective terms like hate speech as a problem. It says that anything surrounding transgenderism that they decide is dehumanizing or discussing what they deem to be a debated social issue in an insensitive way is off limits. 
The framework is deliberately vague, allowing those in control to pick and choose how they enforce it and against whom.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/facts-ep-1-news-guard-the-company-trying-to-control-your-mind" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: &#8216;Facts&#8217; Episode 1: The Company Trying To Control Your Mind</a></h4>
So how exactly do the approved narratives set by these global entities get enforced all the way down to the daily content you consume? 
Well, here&#8217;s how. We&#8217;ll start with NewsGuard. NewsGuard is an organization that formulates ratings for American media. They rank news sites on a 0-to-100 scale based on nine supposedly apolitical criteria. These criteria are anything but apolitical. They often align with leftwing positions.
During the height of COVID, NewsGuard falsely labeled and downgraded 21 news sites, only well after the fact admitting that they either &#8220;mischaracterized the site&#8217;s claims&#8221; about the lab leak theory — referring to the lab leak theory as a &#8220;conspiracy theory&#8221; — or &#8220;wrongly grouped together unproven claims&#8221; about the lab leak with the &#8220;separate, false claim&#8221; that the &#8220;COVID-19 virus was man-made&#8221; without explaining that one claim was unsubstantiated and the other was false.
&#8220;NewsGuard apologizes for these errors,&#8221; they said. &#8220;We have made the appropriate correction on each of the 21 labels.&#8221;
And when you compare their ratings of Left-leaning news organizations to Right-leaning news organizations, you see the same bias appear.
The Media Research Center, a free speech nonprofit, studied NewsGuards&#8217; ratings. The study found glaring examples of bias by NewsGuard. 
The Left&#8217;s BuzzFeed managed a 100 out of 100 perfect score, despite its reporting on the Steele dossier and alleging collusion between Trump and Russia.
The study found that The Global Times, a Chinese propaganda government outlet, scored a 39.5 — that is 27 points higher than the U.S.-based conservative outlet The Federalist. Despite a scandal at USA Today revealing the publication of multiple fabricated sources in their stories and their own fact checking operation misleading readers on the history of the Democratic Party and the KKK, USA Today maintained the 100 out of 100 rating by NewsGuard.
NewsGuard is also working with others to use AI technology to enforce Brand Safety standards at scale, by identifying scalable hoaxes and misinformation in order to streamline blanket removal. This means that the news that you read, news that is supposed to be fair and objective or at least diverse, must adhere to GARM, the WEF, the WFA and their subjective and biased standards in order to be deemed monetizable.
If you think this is only something big news corporations have to contend with, think again. Even the content you consume from independent content creators on social media platforms is subject to these globalist powers that be. 
The WEF, GARM, and the WFA, they&#8217;re all actively working with social media companies to censor what they consider to be misinformation, which very often is just good information with which they disagree.
Finally, the WEF, WFA, and GARM, they&#8217;re all aggressively pouring billions of dollars a year into news and content that drives their preferred narrative — narratives that are often counterfactual at best and harmful at worst.
When you look at the news, you need to feel as though you&#8217;re getting all the information. And even if one source isn&#8217;t giving you all the information, you can find another source, and all the sources together will give you a broad view of the world. But the World Economic Forum, World Federation of Advertisers, and the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, they don&#8217;t want you to have a full view of the news.
They want you to see what they want you to see. And they will work to prevent anyone from disseminating information they don&#8217;t pre-approve. They are determining what you see, what you hear, what you watch. And that&#8217;s dangerous.

A group of world elites, including individuals connected to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pfizer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pfizer</a>, the U.S. intelligence community, and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/world-economic-forum" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World Economic Forum</a>, are in Portugal this weekend for a meeting to discuss a variety of topics, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">artificial intelligence</a>, Ukraine, and China. 
The high-profile attendees of the annual Bilderberg meeting, which include Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla and World Economic Forum President Børge Brende <a href="https://bilderbergmeetings.org/press/press-release/participants" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to a participant list, will discuss a variety of topics including artificial intelligence, banking, China, energy transition, Europe, industrial policy, NATO, Russia, transnational threats, Ukraine, and the United States&#8217; role in the world. 
The meeting, which is <a href="https://bilderbergmeetings.org/press/press-release/press-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taking place</a> from May 18-21 in Lisbon, will feature about 130 participants in fields like finance, government, and tech from 23 different countries. Due to the nature of the meetings, little is known about the specifics of what the leaders will discuss. 
“The Bilderberg Meeting is a forum for informal discussions about major issues. The meetings are held under the Chatham House Rule, which states that participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s) nor any other participant may be revealed,” the meeting’s website says. 
According to event organizers, the Bilderberg meetings were begun in 1954 to create dialogue between European and North American elites. 
“Thanks to the private nature of the Meeting, the participants take part as individuals rather than in any official capacity, and hence are not bound by the conventions of their office or by pre-agreed positions. As such, they can take time to listen, reflect and gather insights. There is no detailed agenda, no resolutions are proposed, no votes are taken and no policy statements are issued,” the Bilderberg website says. 
Several American political and military figures are listed as attendees, including two-time failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stacey-abrams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stacey Abrams</a>, U.S. general and current Supreme Allied Commander Europe Christopher Cavoli, statesman Henry Kissinger, former Obama administration National Security Council director Tarun Chhabra, and former Trump administration National Security Council member Matthew Pottinger. 
Individuals linked to the Biden administration were also listed as participants, including former National Economic Council director Brian Deese, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly, Commerce Department China advisor Elizabeth Economy, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, and National Security Council member Tom Wright.

Leaders from Canada, France, Denmark, the Netherlands, Finland, and the European Commission were all scheduled to attend as well.
Media and cultural figures were also scheduled to be in attendance, including liberal Atlantic journalist Annie Applebaum, historian and Stanford fellow Niall Ferguson, Museum of Modern Art chair Marie-Josée Kravis, Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait, and The Economist editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes. 
Republican donors and businessmen Ken Griffin and Peter Thiel were also listed as participating, in addition to Microsoft CEO Satya ​​Nadella, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Goldman Sachs COO John Waldron, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Twitter users started to uncover the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindayaccarino/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">connections</a> that Yaccarino holds to entities such as the World Economic Forum, for which she chairs the Taskforce on Future of Work and sits on the Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee. The World Economic Forum is a leading proponent of stakeholder capitalism, an approach to investing that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/esg-the-invisible-fist-of-the-economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">encourages</a> executives to consider the needs of employees, communities, and other parties in addition to shareholders, and the use of corporate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/get-woke-go-broke-amazon-installed-solar-panels-in-an-attempt-to-go-net-zero-they-kept-catching-fire-and-were-turned-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">power</a> to advance political agendas.
Musk himself <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/are-they-trying-to-be-the-boss-of-earth-elon-musk-attacks-wefs-klaus-schwab-wanting-to-master-the-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticized</a> the World Economic Forum earlier this year for “trying to be the boss” of the entire planet as business leaders and government officials gathered at the organization’s annual summit in Switzerland.
Yaccarino also served as board chair for the Ad Council, an entity which creates public service announcements for nonprofits and governments. She partnered with the Biden administration to launch a campaign featuring Pope Francis in order to promote COVID vaccines.
Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1656898688739057665" target="_blank" rel="noopener">insisted</a> on Friday that Yaccarino would not institute the shadow bans which frequently targeted conservatives under the previous management of Twitter. The phrase &#8220;RIP Twitter&#8221; nevertheless trended on the platform after he officially announced her appointment to work as chief executive.
Users also unearthed an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypZNWjPpOuI" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> Yaccarino conducted with Musk last month in which she pressed him to amend his own spontaneous use of the platform and contended that advertisers “need to feel that there is an opportunity for them to influence” the site with respect to “content moderation.”
Yaccarino and Musk clashed as she asked Musk to reinstitute the “well populated, much loved influence council” that existed before he purchased the company last year. Musk countered that he would be “worried about creating a backlash among the public” should they believe that “their views are being determined” by a handful of elite marketing executives.

“It’s totally cool to say that you want to have your advertising appear in certain places on Twitter and not in other places, but it is not cool to try to say what Twitter will do,” he remarked. “And if that means losing advertising dollars, we lose it, but freedom of speech is paramount.”
Musk, who also serves as chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, said he acquired Twitter at the end of last year in order to reserve a corner of the public square for open dialogue. The billionaire entrepreneur <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-takes-away-blue-check-verification-from-celebrities-and-news-outlets-confusion-and-hilarity-ensue" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> a new revenue structure based on subscriptions rather than advertisements after he noted that a number of companies have ended their relationships with the platform at the behest of leftist organizations, dealing a significant blow to the business.
“Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists,” Musk <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1588538640401018880" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarked</a> on the platform. “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”

U.S.

Twitter CEO <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/elon-musk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elon Musk</a> is reportedly in talks to name NBCUniversal’s head of advertising Linda Yaccarino the CEO of the company as he prepares to shift his role to executive chairman and chief technology officer.
Yaccarino has been at NBCUniversal for more than a decade where her focus has been on finding the best methods for measuring the effectiveness of advertising.
Musk announced on Thursday afternoon that he had hired a woman to become the company&#8217;s new CEO, but he declined to name her.
&#8220;Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter,&#8221; Musk wrote on Twitter. &#8220;She will be starting in ~6 weeks! My role will transition to being exec chair &amp; CTO, overseeing product, software &amp; sysops.&#8221;
Yaccarino is also the Chairman of the World Economic Forum’s Taskforce on Future of Work.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
In Linda Yaccarino, Elon Musk gets a CEO who is a seasoned ad executive who generally shares his political leanings.
But she&#39;s also the Chairman of a World Economic Forum task force so she can comfortably liaise with Twitter&#39;s current investors and advertisers around the world.

A review of her Twitter account shows that she frequently engages or &#8220;likes&#8221; a lot of content from Musk and some of Musk&#8217;s top allies.
Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-elon-musk-stepping-down-as-the-ceo-of-twitter-reveals-what-hell-do-next" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> shortly after taking over at Twitter that perhaps remaining CEO permanently was not the best situation for him, noting at the time that he would have to start searching for someone who could handle the role.
The billionaire entrepreneur polled users on the social media site in December of last year, asking whether they believed he should step down as CEO — and he promised, “I will abide by the results of this poll.”
In just 12 hours, 17,502,391 votes poured in, and the majority (57.5%) said that yes, they believed he should step down. Another 42.5% voted no.
“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job! After that, I will just run the software &amp; servers teams,” he tweeted once the poll results were in.

Musk In Talks To Name NBCUniversal Executive And Top World Economic Forum Official As New Twitter CEO: Report

This article was adapted from Michael Knowles&#8217; <a href="https://twitter.com/michaeljknowles/status/1655660155134943250" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter thread</a> on Anheuser-Busch. 
Transheuser-Busch is still scrambling over the Mulvaney beer can as sales continue to tank. But it’s caught between a rock of customers and a hard place called “GARM,” a WEF-backed operation which was subpoenaed Friday by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and the House Judiciary. 
One might think that Bud Light could just apologize and admit that men aren’t women. But no matter how much Bud Light and parent company AB InBev might wish to rein in the radicalism, they can’t abandon the agenda. They’re mired in World Economic Forum/ESG gobbledygook.
Budweiser claims to be “a beer rooted in the heart of America.” But in 2008, the Belgian company InBev bought AB for $52 billion, putting “a fixture of American culture into a European rival’s hands,” per the New York Times. Now it’s beholden to elites at the WEF, UN, and EU.
Bud Light’s suggestion that the Dylan Mulvaney endorsement was just some one-time thing would be more believable if AB InBev didn’t openly admit to wanting to “ensure” their pro-trans diversity “touches upon all functions, including … Marketing.”

AB InBev has embraced a litany of woke initiatives, from ESG to DEI, along with a full endorsement of transgenderism. They now foot the bill when employees choose to mutilate their bodies. AB InBev has adopted a corporate policy that exalts “gender identity and expression” to the same level of significance as age and race.
AB InBev not only indoctrinates all their managers with “unconscious bias training”; it also insists that *external* suppliers submit to the pro-trans “diversity” agenda too. AB InBev isn’t surprised by Bud Light’s peddling LGBTLMNOP propaganda, but you can bet they were surprised that this time customers said, “Enough!”

Some of AB InBev’s other subsidiaries go further than Bud Light, funding “family-forming” benefits to cover depravities such as two men buying a woman’s eggs, renting another woman’s womb, and intentionally depriving babies of their natural mothers.
If you’re still confused as to why the Anheuser-Busch statement on the Mulvaney can comprised nothing but babble, consider AB InBev’s openly stated goal of becoming “agents of change” and a “recognized champion of diversity.” It seems AB Inbev can no longer rest easy by making a few donations to the GOP, all the while carrying out the WEF’s “Stakeholder Capitalism” agenda.

The radicals in Belgium running AB InBev and cozying up to WEF are not your friends. They’re not even your neutral acquaintances. They’re advancing a political agenda that is crippling our country. 
Publicly traded companies around the world are caving to the pressure of ESG ratings and pandering to Klaus Schwab and his pack of elites. That would be reason enough to stand against them. But it gets worse. Large global advertisers like AB InBev are taking it further.
The World Federation of Advertisers, whose members include mega corps like Ab InBev, Adidas, BP, CVS, Goldman Sachs, Mastercard, McDonalds, Merck, Nike, P&amp;G, Hershey, Disney, Unilever, and Walmart, among others, have created a monster known as “GARM.”
The Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) is a “cross-industry initiative” (i.e., an agreement of the world’s largest and most powerful advertisers AND platforms) to demonetize what they consider “harmful content.”
To achieve this, lib-captured companies such as AB InBev &amp; Big Tech platforms such as YouTube &amp; TikTok created standards that limit or demonetize content that contains “hate speech” about “gender identity,” “insensitive … treatment of debated social issues,” and “misinformation.”
<div id="attachment_547143" style="width: 615px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-547143" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-547143" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-08-at-4.06.56-PM-300x265.png" alt="" width="605" height="534" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-08-at-4.06.56-PM-300x265.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-08-at-4.06.56-PM-653x576.png 653w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-08-at-4.06.56-PM-768x677.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-08-at-4.06.56-PM-1536x1354.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/05/Screen-Shot-2023-05-08-at-4.06.56-PM.png 1572w" sizes="(max-width: 605px) 100vw, 605px" />Screen Shot GARM Brand Safety Floor + Suitability Framework</div>
When were these “misinformation” policies introduced? “In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,” of course, and in collaboration with the far-left European Commission and NAACP. What could go wrong?
GARM is so powerful and controls so much advertising money (like that of Bud Light) that YouTube, Meta (FB &amp; IG), Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, and others are writing pages of reports about how they will run their platforms to satisfy GARM standards.
Now, what could make this enormous team of woke corporations even worse? Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum swallowed up GARM as a “flagship project” under their “Platform for Shaping the Future of Media, Entertainment and Sport.”

It’s difficult to convey the scale of this problem, but thanks to Jim Jordan and the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee, some GARM and WEF staff are going to have to answer some serious questions.
Don’t look away. If we don’t put an end to this growing scheme of control and deceit, Bud Light’s inability to apologize and admit that men can’t be women will be the least of our problems.

In a tweet thread Monday, Knowles pointed out that Bud Light’s European parent company AB InBev is pushing a wide-ranging LGBTQ and DEI agenda. AB InBev’s 2022 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) <a href="https://www.ab-inbev.com/assets/pressreleases/2023/AB%20InBev_2022%20ESG%20Report_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> shows that the company is openly going along with the World Economic Forum (WEF) by promoting leftist agenda items ranging from climate change and censorship to diversity goals and radical gender theory. 
“One might think that Bud Light could just apologize and admit that men aren’t women. But no matter how much Bud Light and parent company AB InBev might wish to rein in the radicalism, they can’t abandon the agenda,” Knowles said. “They’re mired in World Economic Forum/ESG gobbledygook.”

Along with accepting the leftist principles set forth through DEI and ESG initiatives, AB InBev has “adopted a corporate policy that exalts ‘gender identity and expression’ to the same level of significance as age and race,” Knowles added. The company says that it will help employees pay for sex-change procedures in the U.S. and Canada and promises “financial and legal support” for employees in Brazil and Colombia who are seeking to change their names.
In addition to its support for sex-change procedures, AB InBev offers “family-forming” options for gay couples “like two men buying the eggs &amp; womb of a woman to intentionally remove a baby from its mother at birth,” Knowles said.
AB InBev wants leftist DEI principles to touch “upon all functions, including Sales, Supply Chain, Marketing and others,” but AB InBev’s leftist campaigns don’t stay inside the company. The beer maker also seeks to train “buyers and suppliers on our [diversity and inclusion] Supplier strategy.” 
AB InBev’s pandering to leftist principles doesn’t end there. Knowles also pointed out that the company is part of a WEF initiative that has created “standards that limit or entirely demonetize platforms that contain ‘hate speech’ on ‘gender identity,’ ‘insensitive… treatment of debated social issues,’ or the classic ‘misinformation.’” 
The initiative, created in 2019 and called the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), <a href="https://wfanet.org/about-wfa/our-members/global-brands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">includes</a> corporations Adidas, BP, CVS, Goldman Sachs, Lego, Mastercard, McDonald&#8217;s, Merck, Nike, P&amp;G, Hershey, Disney, Unilever, Walmart, and more. GARM’s “misinformation” <a href="https://wfanet.org/knowledge/item/2022/06/21/GARM-announces-guidelines-on-misinformation-standards-on-ad-placements-and-expansion-to-cover-the-metaverse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">policies</a> were “introduced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war” and “have been designed to provide a structure for demonetizing misinformation.” 
GARM was the target of questioning from U.S. lawmakers on Friday when the Republican-led House issued subpoenas aimed at the WEF initiative. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) wrote in letters <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jordans-house-panel-takes-aim-at-wef-backed-scheme-to-censor-harmful-online-content" target="_blank" rel="noopener">obtained by The Daily Wire</a> that GARM and the group that created it — World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) — may be facilitating coordination by its members in a manner that violates U.S. antitrust law.
Knowles said that “GARM is so powerful and controls so much advertising money (like that of Bud Light) that YouTube, Meta (FB &amp; IG), Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat, and others are writing pages of reports as to how they are going to run their platforms to appease GARM standards.” 
Knowles concluded his tweet thread with a dire warning.
&#8220;Don&#8217;t look away,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If we don&#8217;t put an end to this growing scheme of control and deceit, Bud Light&#8217;s inability to apologize and admit that men can&#8217;t be women will be the least of our problems.&#8221;

Jordan writes that the House Judiciary Committee has sought documents and communications &#8220;related to how GARM and WFA act to demonetize and eliminate disfavored content online, in addition to other information&#8221; ever since March of this year.
Jordan said GARM&#8217;s initiative lead and co-founder, Robert Rakowitz, provided a response on April 7 saying the groups &#8220;welcome the opportunity to provide information to the Committee and are committed to cooperating with our inquiry&#8221; and alluded to a WFA proposal that led to the creation of GARM that would appear to be responsive to the panel&#8217;s requests.
But, according to Jordan, that document was never shared with the committee and despite assurances that there would be cooperation, neither GARM nor WFA have provided any documents.
The subpoenas, addressed to WFA President Raja Rajamannar and Rakowitz, demand records from January 1, 2019 to the present related to GARM, its guidelines, communications among members about targeting &#8220;disfavored content&#8221; online including with the executive branch of the U.S. government, and &#8220;free speech&#8221; considerations. Deadlines are set for May 26.
The Daily Wire has reached out to WFA and King &amp; Spalding for comment, but neither has replied.

Dutch farmers just won’t stay home.
Two large protests unfolded in the Netherlands last week as citizens headed to vote in a provincial election yesterday. One protest was led by people with legitimate, tangible skin in the game: Farmers, fishermen, and their supporters. Dutch land, way of life, and time-tested traditions of success are under threat and being taken and destroyed. 
 
The second protest was an assembly of autonomous human drones, fueled by the information war. These victims of &#8220;menticide&#8221; are the &#8220;extinction rebellion&#8221; — brainwashed meatbots — from the same information ecosystems that created Antifa and Black Lives Matter. 

While the Dutch provincial election took a <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/european-farmers-fed-climate-policies-shock-political-establishment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">favorable turn</a> for the farmers, many believe the threat to their autonomy still remains. 
Dutch farmers are under a severe information attack of their own, with accusations that farming causes “stickstoff poisoning,” — nitrogen poisoning. The accusation is so fraudulent that to even discuss the merits is to lose the fight. A famous Dutch medical doctor and psychoanalyst, Joost Meerloo, wrote extensively about such menticide in his classic book on brainwashing, &#8220;Rape of the Mind,&#8221; published in 1956. In the book, Dr. Meerloo explained exactly what we are seeing today, including methods for countering this mental martial art. A paraphrase of Dr. Meerloo’s advice: Do not engage in discussion of details when the bedrock details of the argument are lies. To discuss the merits of the meritless is to lose. 
 
The nitrogen argument put forth by Dutch prime minister Rutte and his globalist friends is fake. Unworthy of discussion. Instead, they should fix their gaze higher — ad hominem in this case — on the communists and other tyrants who wield the information swords.
The argument is as prima facie fallacious as the accusation that calling Holland “Holland” is somehow wrong. Their true goal is total control. Control of the simplest acts of existence, such as eating, which words we use, and calling oneself Dutch or American. According to the Dutch government, the name “Holland” is now outdated and should no longer be used by Dutch government officials. Yes, the term Holland is now canceled.
In a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recent interview</a>, Dr. Jordan Peterson pointedly and repeatedly called this country, the Netherlands, Holland. If any man understands the immense power of a single word, the man is Dr. Peterson. Dr. Peterson knows compelled speech is slavery and slavery leads to spiritual death.
Last year, I stood outside a venue in the Netherlands where Dr. Peterson was speaking to a full house. He travels with a security detail due to serious, credible threats. Antifa protested the event, attempting to intimidate those who will listen to men who study, stand, and speak the truth.
I have spent months with Antifa in the past — in Portland, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Hong Kong (yes), and Washington D.C. I know their ways and how they work tirelessly to intimidate, using an information war as their highest form of warfare. 
The information war currently spreading across the Dutch &#8220;mindscape&#8221; is the real poison. The Dutch government is openly in the grips of a beastly alliance of the WEF and the CCP — The World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party. Klaus Schwab, chairman of the WEF, has publicly, effusively praised Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, the Netherlands version of Justin Trudeau.
These globalists need the farmland to create their planned Utopia called &#8220;Tristate City,&#8221; a megalopolis, comprising most of the Netherlands, parts of Germany, and Belgium. And while the brainchild behind the massive blueprint, urban planner Peter Savelberg, recently <a href="https://www.politico.eu/newsletter/global-policy-lab/living-cities-taking-on-period-poverty-tristate-city-conspiracy-monumental-women/">walked back his proposal</a>, it doesn&#8217;t diminish the WEF&#8217;s vision of a human farm where every movement will be tracked, recorded, and analyzed in real time by people such as Chinese agents.

Tristate City includes the two busiest ports in Europe: Rotterdam and Antwerp. If China has its way, its new growing <a href="https://www.voanews.com/a/war-in-ukraine-challenging-china-s-train-routes-to-europe/6530632.html">Asian rail infrastructure</a> will chug across the middle of the Tristate City to Rotterdam. The Tristate City is set to become a giant Chinese port city.

WEF/CCP needs and wants the land. Standing in the way, of course, are the farmers and a strong Dutch spirit. If the western WEF members, who now cooperate so deeply with CCP, succeed they will eventually fight over the spoils. Stated more plainly — though WEF and CCP are today wedded in unholy marriage, they are destined for bloody divorce. 
 
Why so herculean an effort to destroy Dutch culture including farmers and fishermen? Control: Control of food supply, freedom of movement, association, and commerce. Dutch farmers — among the most efficient and responsible in the world — are working in large parts on land that was reclaimed from the sea. Not primal forests, but underwater. Their family lines go back centuries. They are literally the original tribespeople, as it were. If this were any place other than Europe, the Frisians and others might be labeled indigenous, in need of protection.

<a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/paypal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PayPal</a> CEO Dan Schulman announced that he would retire from the financial services <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/big-tech" target="_blank" rel="noopener">platform</a> at the end of the year.
Schulman, who will continue to serve on the company’s board of directors, said that he wants to devote more time to his “passions outside the workplace.” He became the company’s chief executive in 2014 after a stint as enterprise growth president at American Express.
&#8220;I&#8217;m proud of what we have accomplished at PayPal and of the incredibly talented and committed people I work with every day,” he said in a <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/president-and-ceo-dan-schulman-announces-intention-to-retire-from-paypal-at-year-end-301743529.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. “Together, we have reimagined financial services and e-commerce, and worked to improve the financial health of our customers. PayPal makes a difference every day for its customers and communities and the company is positioned for a great future.”
The retirement comes months after PayPal, which has deplatformed multiple organizations and commentators for their political views, had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-paypal-policy-lets-company-pull-2500-from-users-accounts-if-they-promote-misinformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unveiled</a> an upcoming change to its acceptable use policy that would have banned the promotion of “misinformation,” as well as “hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory.” Within one day of The Daily Wire reporting on the policy change, which would have imposed $2,500 penalties on users for each violation, PayPal <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/paypal-reverses-plan-to-fine-users-2500-for-misinformation-after-daily-wire-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> that the guidelines were published “in error.”
PayPal lost $6 billion in valuation during a subsequent stock market <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-paypal-stock-plummets-after-daily-wire-report-exposes-shocking-misinformation-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">selloff</a> as thousands of users canceled their accounts. An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/paypal-ceos-interview-with-world-economic-forum-could-suggest-mentality-behind-backtracked-misinformation-penalty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> between Schulman and the World Economic Forum published months earlier showed that the executive&#8217;s approach to business had long involved moving the needle on social issues as well as earning profits.
“Trust extends well beyond whether you deliver an excellent product or service. Doing that is very necessary, but it’s not sufficient,” asserted Schulman, who currently serves on the World Economic Forum’s International Business Council and Board of Governors. “To be a company that embodies trust, your mission and values should make it clear that you stand for more than just maximizing profit. That you stand up for social issues that are important, and you do the right things to help create a better world.”
The World Economic Forum is a leading proponent of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/esg-the-invisible-fist-of-the-economy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stakeholder capitalism</a>, an approach to investing that encourages executives to consider the needs of employees, communities, and other parties in addition to shareholders, and the use of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/get-woke-go-broke-amazon-installed-solar-panels-in-an-attempt-to-go-net-zero-they-kept-catching-fire-and-were-turned-off" target="_blank" rel="noopener">corporate power</a> to advance political agendas in the global economy. “Saying that you have values and not acting on them is worse than not having any values,” Schulman continued. “That’s what causes employees to revolt, that’s how you sow distrust with customers or regulators.”
Among the many <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-former-paypal-exec-led-backlash-before-paypal-abandoned-alleged-plan-to-fine-users-2500-for-misinformation" target="_blank" rel="noopener">critics</a> of the PayPal misinformation policy were David Sacks, the company’s former president, and Elon Musk, who co-founded one of the firms which would later become PayPal. Members of the Senate likewise requested more information about the retracted acceptable use policy in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senators-confront-paypal-on-misinformation-policy-highlighted-by-daily-wire-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> sent to Schulman.
“Greater encroachment by large technology and financial companies into public speech will only exacerbate Americans’ increasing mistrust of such institutions,” the lawmakers wrote. “Policies that empower companies to punish individuals’ beliefs by acting as arbiters of fact in our ever-changing news and public debate environment represent poor business decisions. Instead, large technology and financial institutions should focus on serving the needs of their customers without bias.”
